At the end of the device, there is an exit. Every so often, a drop of golden blood falls into a glass tube.
The glass tube was already nearly one-third full.
Standing before the equipment was a tall, slender man, dressed in a white robe that gave him an otherworldly air. His long hair accentuated his allure, and the rope tied at his waist in a unique shape added to his mysterious aura. He was intently watching the experimental equipment...
For some reason, Uzuki Yuhi felt that the person's back looked familiar, very much like the extremely dangerous and terrifying man that their Konoha Anbu had been keeping an eye on!
"Ok?"
At this moment, the man stopped what he was doing and slowly turned around. Xi Yang suddenly felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his heart, and he felt suffocated.
呲! !
The giant serpent's vertical pupils exuded a powerful killing intent.
"Ah!!!" the setting sun cried out in surprise, lost its footing, and plummeted to the ground...
Her heart pounded wildly, and she gasped for breath: There was no mistake, absolutely no mistake, that was Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha! How could he be in a place like this?!
Tap, tap, tap, the footsteps stopped behind.
"Didn't I tell you to stay in your room and not wander around?" Lin Yu said, looking at the still-shaken Uzuki Yuhi.
"I……"
"Go back to sleep," Lin Yu said.
Inside the stone chamber.
"Lord Orochimaru..." Kabuto cast a questioning glance at Orochimaru.
"Don't worry about it, let her be," Orochimaru said hoarsely.
"Yes." Kabuto withdrew.
"Hmph, it seems that although Yu-kun is powerful, he is also a very emotional and passionate Uchiha boy. I wonder if my most perfect creation can trigger a miracle in Yu-kun... It's really something to look forward to..." Orochimaru stared at the drops of golden blood collected in the glass tube, a dreamy smile on his lips.
Chapter 14: Return to Konoha!
Whoosh! In the dead of night, a vortex suddenly appeared in the sky above the dimly lit streets of Konoha Village. As the vortex descended, it was Lin Yu. He was dressed in black, blending into the darkness. Under his hood was a brand-new orange mask with black markings.
His Sharingan shone brightly in the darkness through the two holes in the mask.
"Finally, we've arrived here..."
Looking at the four characters "Ichiraku Ramen" in front of him, Lin Yu was filled with emotion.
Lift the curtain and step inside.
"welcome!"
Behind the counter, which also serves as a dining table, the owner of Ichiraku, dressed in a chef's uniform, greets customers warmly.
At this time, Uncle Ichiraku was in his prime, with no wrinkles on his face yet. Beside him, his daughter, Ayame, was sleeping soundly in her stroller.
"A big bowl of tonkotsu soup stock..."
Lin Yu sat down in the rightmost seat of the three seats at the table, against the wall.
He came alone this time, not with Afei, because he was afraid that Afei would keep talking about poop during the meal, which would affect his appetite.
Ichiraku filled a bowl with tonkotsu broth, then used a slotted spoon to scoop up the ramen noodles and put them into the broth. He garnished it with chopped green onions, pickled ginger, and other ingredients, creating a harmonious blend of color, aroma, and flavor in one bowl, before serving it to Lin Yu.
"Guest, your pork bone broth."
"Well."
The aroma was irresistible, stimulating his taste buds. Lin Yu couldn't wait any longer. He broke his chopsticks apart, took off his mask and put it aside, and started eating.
Slip!
The noodles are chewy and smooth, and the broth is flavorful, rich, and aromatic.
It's so delicious! It's ten times better than the best ramen Lin Yu has ever had. Once he started eating, he couldn't stop!
Just as Lin Yu was enjoying his meal, two ninjas lifted the curtain and walked into the noodle shop side by side. Coincidentally, it was Might Guy and... Kakashi!
Guy was wearing his signature green bodysuit, and Kakashi had a black eyepatch over his left eye, but what was hidden beneath it was no longer the Sharingan, but an empty eye socket...
"Boss, two large bowls of miso char siu." Matt Kai blinked his big eyes under his thick eyebrows, his teeth gleaming, held up two fingers to the owner of Ichiraku, and plopped down in the left seat.
Kakashi sat leisurely in the middle, and when he casually turned his head and saw Lin Yu's profile, which was covered by long hair, he was slightly stunned...
"Hey, here's your miso chashu, both of you." Kakashi only looked away when Uncle Ichiraku brought over the two bowls of noodles.
"Hey Kakashi, so far our record is twenty wins and twenty losses. How about we compete to see who can finish their ramen the fastest?" Guy said with his usual high spirits.
"Sorry, I'm really not in the mood right now..." Kakashi said listlessly, breaking open his chopsticks, pulling down his mask, and eating casually.
Kai looked at Kakashi with a complicated expression.
Six months ago, Kakashi lost Rin and his Sharingan. He was rescued and brought back to Konoha, where he suffered severe physical and mental trauma. He stayed in a Konoha sanatorium to recover until he was officially discharged a month ago, and he has been in this negative state ever since.
Kai withdrew his gaze, broke open his chopsticks, and wolfed down his noodles, finishing them in less than a minute. He then gulped down the broth, put down his bowl, wiped the soup stains from the corners of his mouth, and looked solemnly at Kakashi.
"Kakashi, as your rival and best friend, I can understand your feelings. I've been through the same thing you've been through (the events surrounding my father, Might Guy). To give up would be a disservice to the deceased. What I want to entrust to you by Obito is not just his eyes, but also his will. If he were alive, he would certainly not want to see you like this."
Kakashi paused, his chopsticks stilled, and said wistfully, "I understand everything you're saying. Although I understand, I can't let it go. I failed to protect Rin, and I don't deserve that eye. I think this must be Obito's punishment for me in heaven, which is why he took the eye back. He must hate me to the core..."
Kai frowned and said, "Kakashi, aren't you getting a little too hung up on this..."
"Maybe, but I've already decided to join Root." Kakashi's words were surprising.
Bang! Kai jumped up, incredulous, "Root!? Kakashi, are you serious?!"
Upon noticing the gaze directed at him by the owner of Ichiraku, Kai realized his lapse in composure, apologized, sat down, and quietly asked Kakashi, "Is this what the Fourth Hokage meant?"
Kakashi said, "No, it was my own idea. Half a month ago, the Root headquarters was attacked by mysterious ninjas, and several members died. Danzo exaggerated the incident and reported it to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, saying that the Fourth Hokage deliberately let the enemy in in order to shake the foundation of Konoha."
Kai frowned: "Would a daimyo believe such nonsense?"
Kakashi said, "If it were before, I probably wouldn't have, but a month ago, Hokusuke, who was directly under the Fourth Hokage's ANBU, assassinated a daimyo, which made the daimyo suspicious. Coupled with this incident, the situation is quite unfavorable for the Fourth Hokage."
"Hokusuke... although he's quite strong, he doesn't seem like the type to have the guts to do something like this. Could it be Gen who's behind this?"
"The Anbu also suspected this, so they sent people to hunt down Hokusuke in an attempt to find out the truth. But just before nightfall, the Anbu members who were dispatched died, and it was the leader, Uzuki Yuhi, who was responsible! This dealt another blow to the credibility of the Fourth Anbu. It was only by having the Third Hokage step in and vouch for the Fourth Hokage with his own reputation that the situation was barely calmed down. However, Root's condition was that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Kushina, be placed under Root's supervision, and the Daimyo agreed..."
Kai cut to the chase: "Jinchūriki, could it be that Danzo intends to..."
Kakashi said in a deep voice, "That's right. Danzo has coveted the Hokage position for a long time. He must want to control the Nine-Tails and shake the Fourth Hokage's position. Things have come to this point, and even the Anbu can't intervene. The only thing I can do is join Root and do my best to protect Kushina so that the Fourth Hokage can overcome the current difficulties without any worries..."
Kai said worriedly, "But Kakashi, do you know what kind of person Danzo is? You might lose your life!"
Kakashi resolutely replied, "It doesn't matter. I failed to protect Obito, and I failed to protect Rin either. Someone like me doesn't deserve to die. At least, I should share some of the burden with my teacher..."
Lin Yu finished his noodles, paid the bill, put on the mask that was placed to the side, got up and walked out.
On the sparsely populated street, Lin Yu gazed at the moon obscured by dark clouds, his eyes deep: Although he didn't plan to capture the Nine-Tails right now, letting it fall into Danzo's hands would create many problems in the future. In the script I wanted to realize, Naruto was no longer the protagonist. At least I wanted to give him a carefree childhood and not repeat the same mistakes. Kushina would be the last Nine-Tails Jinchuriki in ninja history...
Whoosh, an ominous wind swept through the streets. Lin Yu turned his head and looked into the darkness of the village.
"Danzo, let's go and meet him..."
Chapter 15 Deterring Danzo!
In a secluded and dark corner of Konoha Village, there is a Japanese-style room. On a high platform in front of the door stand two fierce-looking statues. This is the sleeping place of Shimura Danzo, the leader of Konoha Root.
In the Japanese-style room, Danzo sat at the table, examining a secret letter sent by Hanzo, the leader of the Rain Village, by candlelight.
The secret letter stated: Nagato has escaped from my grasp and is secretly rebuilding the Akatsuki organization. The ninja who rescued Nagato from me earlier calls himself Uchiha Yu and possesses strength no less than mine. He is probably a rare talent among the Uchiha after Madara...
"If Konoha Village and the ninja world are to enjoy lasting peace and stability, the Uchiha clan must be eliminated..." Danzo murmured as he burned the secret letter.
Suddenly, the candlelight in front of Danzo flickered violently and went out!
“Killing intent…” Danzo narrowed his eyes.
"Who goes there?!"
"what!!"
The Root members guarding outside screamed and fell to the ground. A long-haired figure was reflected on the paper sliding door.
Snap!
A bolt of lightning pierced through the door and penetrated Shimura Danzo's body!
Bang! The door shattered, and Lin Yu stood outside, his dark eyes fixed on the table. There was no Danzo there, only a wooden plank that had been pierced through...
"Substitution Jutsu, that's fast." Lin Yu looked up at Danzo standing on the eaves.
A cold wind blew by, and under the moonlight, the two faced each other.
"Uchiha Yu, I've wanted to see you for a long time..." Danzo said in a low voice.
*Sizzle!* Lin Yu's left eye switched to a kaleidoscope, focusing on Danzo's head.
Kamui!
Click!
Danzo's head was snapped off by Kamui, blood spurting from his neck, and his headless corpse fell from the wall... disappearing in a blur of light and shadow.
"A dojutsu that can manipulate space, truly terrifying..." Danzo's voice rang out from the other side. He stood unharmed atop the stone statue, unwrapping the bandage from his right eye to reveal the Sharingan beneath. At the same time, he rapidly formed hand seals and took a deep breath.
Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!
Whoosh! The vacuum wave swept across, splitting houses, walls, and everything else in two with its powerful wind blast, leaving Lin Yu completely unharmed!
"I see. So, the ability to make the medium penetrate the body and nullify attacks—this is the power of your other Mangekyou Sharingan. Truly, it's an impeccable pair of eyes. Why don't you become a replacement for my right eye?"
As Danzo spoke, he unwrapped the bandage from his right eye, revealing his Sharingan beneath, which turned a desolate white, forever losing its light.
Lin Yu said indifferently, "Izanagi is a forbidden eye technique that can only be activated by possessing the power of both the Senju and Uchiha clans, at the cost of permanently losing one's sight. If you remove your right eye, then your right arm, which has Hashirama cells implanted in it, and the ten Sharingan eyes on it, must be Orochimaru's masterpiece for this purpose..."
"What!?" Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Danzo's pupils shrank: He actually knew all about my background. That bastard Orochimaru really did collude with him and betray Konoha!
"Although you can make the medium penetrate your body, to attack, you must materialize. In other words, as long as you fight, you will lose!"
As Danzo spoke, he extended his right arm from his clothes and removed the iron plate covering it. The ten Sharingan eyes residing on it began to rotate, creating a terrifying sight...
Each Sharingan he consumes allows him to maintain Izanagi for one minute. These ten Sharingan can sustain Izanagi for ten minutes. In other words, within these ten minutes, no matter how or how many times Danzo is killed, he will not die. This is the source of Danzo's confidence!
"Then give it a try..." Lin Yu said.
