Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Minato Namikaze declared firmly, "Konoha never provokes trouble, but it's not afraid of trouble either. If you want to fight, come at me. As long as Kumogakure is confident that after fighting Konoha, it will still have the strength to fight against the Shadow Uchiha Yu..."

"Damn it, Yellow Flash..." Jackie breathed his last amidst endless resentment.

The group of Cloud Villagers, carrying the corpses of Jack and Kojui, slunk away.

Behind them, the Third Hokage Hiruzen and Hyuga Hizashi both watched all this with complicated emotions.

Hiruzen thought to himself: Perhaps I really am getting old, and it's time to enjoy my retirement...

He said apologetically to Hizashi, "Hizashi, I'm sorry, I almost sent you to your doom..."

Hyuga Hizashi said, "No, Third Hokage, you and the Fourth Hokage are both wise Hokage, it's just that he had more of the sharpness that a young man should have..."

Hiruzen pressed down his straw hat: "I am deeply ashamed..."

It is said that later, because of Hizashi's stand-up, Hiashi also reflected on his actions. Hyuga Neji, who was born into the branch family, was not branded with the Caged Bird Mark when he was three years old!

Thus, Neji's tragic fate was rewritten by the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze's decisive and resolute decision, which set him apart from his predecessors, leading him toward a bright and promising future!

Chapter 173 Dark Clouds Rise Again! (1/5)

"Then, Shadow, I'll be on my way." At the village entrance, Kakuzu, dressed as a traveling merchant and wearing a straw hat, was preparing to travel to the Land of Earth to conduct on-site surveys and purchase sandstone.

"I've left my spacetime dynamic marker on you. Once you arrive at your destination, immediately inject chakra, and I'll use Kamui to get to your side," Lin Yu said.

Lin Yu will also be going there soon, because of the five great nations, only the Land of Earth has not yet been set foot there. He will take this opportunity to leave some spatial markers so that it will be easier to act in the future.

"The village's financial work..."

"I will have my secretary, Nadeshiko Saori, arrange it."

"I hope that guy isn't just a pretty face..." Kakuzu murmured as he embarked on his journey.

That night, Lin Yu found Itachi alone, handed him a scroll, and said, "Itachi, I have an important mission for your team. This scroll records the mission location. Go there and find a person named Tenpyo Jugo. He is a child the same age as the three of you."

Itachi asked, "And after we find him, should we bring him back, or should we...?"

Lin Yu took out a kunai: "Your task is simply to stab him with this kunai..."

Itachi took the kunai, lost in thought: If it were about killing the target, they wouldn't be so roundabout. This kunai has probably been tampered with by the Shadows...

Yes, the Supreme One of Suffering still retains Lin Yu's divine power dynamic mark.

Itachi put away his kunai and asked, "What's the mission level?"

Lin Yu's eyes, hidden behind his mask, were deep and unfathomable: "Grade A."

Itachi's eyes narrowed sharply: Rank A, isn't that even higher than Rank B before!

Yes, when we went to the ancient kingdom of Loulan to seize the dragon vein, the difficulty level was rated as B because Shadow personally led the team.

This time, Madam Shadow, Uzuki Yuhi, is pregnant, and Lin Yu cannot leave her side for long periods of time, so he cannot go in person. For these three children, the difficulty is even greater, making it an A-level challenge!

Itachi thought to himself: Finding that child who is the same age as us and stabbing him with a kunai would be an A-rank difficulty. It seems that he must be a very dangerous child.

Lin Yu instructed, "Take good care of yourself..."

Itachi nodded and said, "I will!"

The next morning, Itachi Uchiha, Yugao Uzuki, and Hidan set off for Orochimaru's secret hideout, which was recorded on the scroll.

"Is it alright to let them act alone?" Xi Yang couldn't help but worry.

"With Itachi leading the team, there shouldn't be any problems..." Lin Yu said with relief.

With a slight glimmer in her eyes, Xi Yang said, "I remember that child named Itachi. Last time we went to the Uchiha residential area in Konoha, you said that among the Uchiha clan, only Shisui and Itachi were extraordinary. Now that Itachi has come to our village, what about that child named Shisui? Could it be that he and his clan were...?"

Lin Yu said, "Zhi Shui? I'm also looking for his whereabouts now."

Yes, after the Uchiha clan massacre, Shisui disappeared without a trace. Lin Yu had Zetsu check the bodies of the Uchiha clan members, but they did not find Shisui.

Therefore, Shisui should still be alive, but his whereabouts are currently unknown.

But Lin Yu knew that a genius like Zhi Shui would not remain unknown; sooner or later he would appear, bringing the eyes he desired!

"It's windy here, let's go back to our room..." Lin Yu said gently.

"Mm." Sunset nodded.

A dozen minutes later, twelve women dressed in gorgeous maid outfits, led by Nadeshiko Saori, came to Lin Yu and Xi Yang.

"Greetings, Lord Shadow, Lord Sunset!" Twelve maids bowed gracefully, their voices gentle and sweet.

"Yu... what is this?" Xi Yang asked, looking completely bewildered.

"You're pregnant now, so it's not advisable to move around too much. From now on, let them take care of your daily life!" Lin Yu said.

Yes, after hearing that Yuhi was pregnant, Lin Yu had Nadeshiko Saori carefully select twelve virtuous and meticulous female ninjas from Nadeshiko Village to serve as maids and take care of Yuhi.

Although she knew Lin Yu meant well, Xi Yang still pulled Lin Yu outside and said, "Yu, this is too much of a fuss. So many people are surrounding me. I... I'm not used to it, and it will make me anxious. You know, I'm not one to trouble others..."

"Uh, well... but someone has to take care of him."

"One is enough!"

Lin Yu glanced at Nadeshiko Saori beside him and saw that she was staring at the setting sun's face with an ambiguous expression.

“Saori, look…”

"Leave it to me." Saori turned and went back to her room.

A few minutes later.

"Lord Xiyang, my name is Xiyao. If you don't mind, let Xiyao take care of your daily life. Don't let my appearance fool you, I have experience in taking care of pregnant women..." Fuzi Xiyao said gently.

"Then, I'll have to trouble you, Xi Yao..." Xi Yang took Xi Yao's hand.

……

After letting Xiyang rest, Lin Yu walked towards his office, with Nadeshiko Saori following closely behind. As his secretary, she could openly stay by Lin Yu's side.

"Saori".

"Hi, Lord Shadow."

"You haven't returned to your village for so long. Doesn't the people in Fushiko have any objections?"

Nadeshiko Saori recalled the secret letter sent by the King of Nadeshiko Kingdom half a month ago: "To Your Highness, the National Preceptor Saori, I deeply admire Your Highness's foresight. Lord Shadow is the leading figure in the current ninja world and a pillar of the future... Please do not worry about state affairs. I have also found a successor for the village chief. Your Highness only needs to serve Lord Shadow wholeheartedly. In the future, Nadeshiko Kingdom and Dark Village will be of one spirit and one branch. Your Highness will be the greatest contributor to Nadeshiko Kingdom for all time. Your Highness's ruler and sister, Nadeshiko Ten'i."

It seems that the ruler of the Nadeshiko Kingdom, Nadeshiko Ten'i, is also a man of vision.

Nadeshiko Saori said bitterly, "I have complaints... The king has ordered me to go back more than once, and the people are also full of grievances."

"Then, how about you..."

“Yes, no~” Nadeshiko Saori gently shook her head, her lotus steps light and graceful, and very naturally took Lin Yu’s shoulder, placing it against her soft chest: “I have decided that even if I turn against my country and am despised by my people, I will stay by your side and serve you day and night…”

call out!

Lin Yu's arm pierced through without leaving a trace: "It's rare that you're so thoughtful. If you need anything in life, don't hesitate to ask..."

Lin Yu opened the office door and went inside.

Nadeshiko Saori took out a handkerchief, clenching her teeth: "Uyashi (so unwilling)! My charm spell was almost activated, if only I had held him for more than three seconds..."

After putting away the handkerchief, Nadeshiko Saori walked into the house with a dignified expression.

He personally brewed a cup of tea and served it, saying, "Lord Shadow, please have some."

"Uh, thanks..." Lin Yu was looking at the documents sent by the Dark Kingdom when he picked up his teacup, swirled it, and was about to drink.

Nadeshiko Saori's eyes suddenly lit up: That's right, as long as you drink the fresh juice I collected last night, you will transform into desire...

"Lord Shadow, I have something important to report!" At that moment, Hozuki Mangetsu walked in.

"Saori, you can go out now..." Lin Yu put the teacup he had just brought to his lips back down.

"Yes," Nadeshiko Saori replied politely, but as she turned around, the corner of her mouth twitched.

The door creaked shut, and Nadeshiko Saori stared intently at Mangetsu's back with one eye.

Full Moon shivered.

"Manyue, what's wrong?" Lin Yu asked, puzzled.

"Uh... I felt a chill down my spine just now, it's probably because it's cold," Manyue said.

"Then let's have a cup of hot tea to warm ourselves up." Lin Yu pushed the tea that Saori had brewed forward.

"..." Full Moon picked up the teacup and drank.

"What is it? Speak," Lin Yu said.

"It's like this, regarding the Jinchūriki of Kumogakure, Yugito the Two-Tails, she was attacked last night, and it seems... her fate is unknown." Hozuki Mangetsu said something startling.

"!" Lin Yu's brows furrowed tightly at this moment.

Chapter 174 The Dark Flame Rekindles! (2/5)

"Wasn't Yugito Two-Tailed Fox training with Killer Bee in the Reconstructed Thunder Gorge of the Land of Lightning? Who attacked her?" Lin Yu asked.

“It is none other than Kumogakure itself!” Hozuki Mangetsu said.

"Cloud Hidden Village, myself?" Lin Yu frowned deeply.

Because he was worried about the deaths of the Jinchūriki from various countries, Lin Yu kept a close eye on their movements.

After losing the Eight-Tails, the young Two-Tails Jinchuriki, Yugito, took on the heavy responsibility of maintaining the balance of power in Kumogakure. However, the Kumogakure leadership, including the Raikage, were impatient for quick success and wanted to have a perfect Jinchuriki as soon as possible. So they thought of separating the Two-Tails from Yugito and transferring it to Killer Bee.

It was Killer Bee who pleaded on Yugito's behalf that led the Raikage to agree to give Yugito three years to allow Killer Bee to guide her in her training to become a perfect Jinchūriki.

If Yugito fails to perfectly master the Two-Tails' power three years later, he will proceed according to the original plan.

But only a year has passed, and the Hidden Cloud Village has already made its move. Something must have happened!

Hozuki Mangetsu said, "The Cloud Village failed to seize the Byakugan this time, and used the corpses of their comrades to threaten Konoha. As a result, they were outmaneuvered by the Yellow Flash. The Raikage seems to be even more impatient, so he changed his mind and wanted to immediately remove the Two-Tails. Last night, he sent people to the Cloud and Thunder Gorge, but they were met with resistance from Killer Bee. In the end, the Raikage personally intervened, and Killer Bee was defeated and imprisoned in Hozuki Castle."

"As for Yugito the Two-Tails, her whereabouts are unknown, but it seems that Kumogakure has organized a search party, so she should still be alive..."

"Ghost Lantern Castle..." Lin Yu's eyes narrowed slightly beneath his mask.

"Although Hozuki Castle is called Hozuki Castle, it has nothing to do with our Hozuki clan," Mangetsu explained.

"Ah, I know..."
