Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Zizizi!

The Yang Seal above Ashina's head fully bloomed at this moment.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Chakra was poured in without reservation, and the size of the Immovable Body expanded once more...

Splash splash splash splash!

One after another, Vajra seals emerged from the wheel behind Immovable Dharma, completely curved and angled towards the sky.

"There's nothing I can do..." Lin Yu sighed and closed his eyes.

—A Buddha statue on the crown!

Thousands of fists descended from the sky, while hundreds of chains met them head-on, colliding and clashing in the air!

Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble!!!

The commotion, even from ten miles away, felt as if it were right in front of me.

The monks of the Fire Temple all stopped in their tracks, gazing at the smoke and dust rising from the horizon...

The Fire Country Daimyo was terrified and then said fiercely, "Uchiha Yu the Shadow, what a damned monster! His power is enough to threaten the stability of the entire world. If I can escape this calamity, I will definitely convene a meeting of the five Daimyo to discuss eradicating the Dark Ninja Country!"

Amidst the thick, oppressive smoke and dust.

After destroying nearly a thousand of the giant fists of the Buddha on top, the Vajra Sealing Chains finally weakened. As the chakra on the chains diminished, they collapsed and disintegrated one after another...

But the subsequent giant fists continued to rain down... all striking the immovable Dharma body, which began to crumble from the sacred golden light!

But what perished even before the Dharma body was the half of the mountain upon which it stood!

Rumble rumble rumble rumble!!!

That half of the mountain was collapsing at a visible speed...

The Immovable Dharma Body, after taking a thorough beating during its fall, completely disintegrated.

The 'Eternal Light' also failed. Ashina's true body, enveloped in scattered golden light, landed on the ground, maintaining his cross-legged meditation posture. The splashing pebbles grazed his aged skin, leaving wounds, but inexplicably, not a single drop of blood flowed from those wounds!

Lin Yu, with phantom wings sprouting from his back, leaped down from above the heads of the True Thousand Hands, hovering low in the air as he looked at Ashina: "What's wrong with your body? I've seen your son-in-law, Hashirama; he has the same eye technique as you..."

Ashina's expression was unusually calm: "As I said before, I shed this physical body many years ago. You can't see the blood because the blood has long since dried up..."

Lin Yu said sternly, "Without blood, life activities cannot take place; in other words, life cannot be sustained!"

Ashina replied, "My body is indeed dead, but I used a forbidden technique of the Uzumaki clan to forcibly imprison my soul within my body. Originally, this was just a way to prolong my life, but I miraculously came back to life."

"When I crawled out of the cemetery, Uzushiogakure was in ruins. All my clansmen had died in the war, and those who survived were scattered in various places..."

Lin Yu asked, "Then why don't you go to Konoha and look for your daughter? At least she's still alive."

Ashina said, "If I had to say, it's that I'm ashamed to face her. As the head of the clan, I arranged for her to marry into a foreign land, but I failed to protect her homeland..."

Lin Yu remained silent.

Ashina continued, "Although I was fortunate enough to survive, my life was in a state of exhaustion. I wandered aimlessly, waiting to die. When I passed by a temple, I heard monks chanting sutras, and I found solace in that. I shaved my head and became a monk, eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures. I have been doing this for fifty years..."

"Only then did I realize that when the Sage of Six Paths founded the Ninja Sect, his philosophy was not based on ninjutsu that created war, but rather contained in many timeless classics. As I studied these classics, my soul gradually transcended my physical body, and the Yang Seal accumulated over the years... I've been hanging on by a thread of life until now, and I'm actually quite tired."

At this point, Ashina smiled slightly: "I've heard about you before... Since you were able to gain the approval of the young Mito and have the 'Yang Seal' placed on your forehead, it means that what you've done, if not to benefit all living beings, will at least be beneficial to future generations!"

Lin Yu suddenly realized: "So that's how it is! Then why..."

Ashina said, "If you hadn't appeared here today, I would probably have died of old age in three years..."

Lin Yu knew that Ashina definitely didn't have many years left to live... Otherwise, if Kakuzu and Hidan had encountered Ashina instead of Jiraiya when they stormed the Temple of Fire, the outcome would have been completely different.

"My purpose in fighting you this time is simply to see for myself whether you have the potential to become one of the Six Paths! When it comes to the Uzumaki clan, everyone says that the Uzumaki are distant relatives of the Senju, but in reality... it would be more appropriate to say that the Senju are distant relatives of the Uzumaki!"

"!" Lin Yu was startled. He realized something: almost all members of the Uzumaki clan possessed enormous amounts of chakra and vitality. However, the Senju clan, apart from the Hashirama and Tobirama brothers, did not have any members with exceptionally superior strength!

Ashina said, "In terms of bloodline, the Uzumaki are closer to Ashura! Therefore, almost all of their reincarnations are produced within the Uzumaki clan. However, in modern times, the Senju clan suddenly produced an anomaly, Hashirama, who, with power surpassing that of the Uzumaki, became the strongest Ashura reincarnation in history."

"But even Hashirama, in terms of physique, couldn't reach the level of Ashura at his peak, because he lacked the 'Vortex Power' of the Uzumaki lineage!"

"The power of the vortex?"

"A balancing force that can regulate yin and yang. Hashirama's physique was too yang and lacked yin. Even though he benefited from Mito and received some compensation, he was still lacking in all aspects. To tell you the truth, even if Hashirama hadn't died from that eye technique, he wouldn't have lived too long... and you, who possess his power, would be the same!"

boom!

These words struck Lin Yu like a thunderbolt!

"But if you can obtain the power of 'Vortex,' that's a different story. You will be completely transformed. Even if you don't become the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, you will still be an existence close to the Six Paths..."

Leaving these final words, Ashina Uzumaki, no, the monk Kukai, has passed away!

The illusionary wings dissipated, and Lin Yu landed, clenching his fists. He realized a fact that made him tremble: "No wonder, back then, Obito and Madara only dared to claim that they were close to the Sage of Six Paths after obtaining the power of the Ten-Tails. But the Sage of Six Paths... was already incredibly strong even before he became the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki!"

"The power of the vortex..."

Lin Yu bowed respectfully to Ashina's Dharma Body, then carefully placed it in a coffin and put it away. He turned and looked in the direction the Fire Country Daimyo had fled: "No matter what power we use, things must be done one by one, and everything must be done from beginning to end... It's time to wrap up the purpose of this trip!"

Chapter 430 A desperate gamble!

At the foot of a mountain, about 20 miles from the battlefield.

call out!

Lin Yu descended with the divine vortex, having already left a mark on Di Lu's body earlier.

"Quickly, protect the daimyo!!" The daimyo of the Land of Fire was under the protection of his retinue.

Whoosh! The ninja monk Jiro rushed forward and immediately launched a killing attack.

——Come to welcome Thousand Hands Kill!

Buzz! A translucent golden chakra formed a Thousand-Armed Avalokiteshvara, and with its offensive intent, it transformed into the Wrathful Manifestation of a Myō-ō, and the fist formed from chakra attacked at supersonic speed!

The fist passed right through Lin Yu's body and landed on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust...

Lin Yu said indifferently, "I saw Mito use this ninjutsu, a combination of offense and defense, when it was executed by a talent of the Immortal Clan. In her hands, it was enough to withstand my Susanoo. At that time, I was curious about where you learned it. Now I know, you learned it from Uzumaki Ashina, but your power is too weak..."

Whoosh! Lin Yu passed through the interwoven curtain of fists and arrived directly inside the Wrathful Manifestation of the King of Light. He placed his hand on Di Lu's shoulder and released a vortex of divine power.

"What... Ah!!!" With a cry of surprise, Di Lu was sucked into the space-time continuum.

It was already merciful of them not to use their remote divine power to snap his neck.

Jiriku, one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja, was taken down in the blink of an eye. The Daimyo's followers panicked, but how could the Daimyo of the Land of Fire not have his own loyal followers? They charged forward fearlessly, drew their long swords, and unleashed powerful slashes!

Lin Yu continued his advance without stopping, letting the slashes pierce his body as he coldly formed hand seals.

Wind Release: Wind Slice Technique!

Clang! Clang! Clang! The knife breaks, the man dies.

Lin Yu lowered his hand: "Compared to Zatoichi, your swords are too dull."

The daimyo retreated to the foot of the mountain wall, showing his ability to bend and endure, and said: "Shadow, let's talk this out... Don't resort to violence! You want me to stop sending troops to attack Konoha, right? I promise you!"

"Oh, if only you had been this sensible earlier. But your constant hiding and running around has caused me a lot of trouble. It's not that simple now." Lin Yu's gaze was deep. "Also, do you think I don't know what you're planning? Once you're out of this predicament, you'll immediately try to get revenge. Do you think I'll allow that to happen?"

As Lin Yu spoke coldly, his left eye transformed into the Eternal Kaleidoscope, releasing the unique light of his eye technique.

Kotoamatsukami!

The instruction is simple: 'Obey my every word'!

From the moment Kotoamatsukami took effect, everything came to an end.

The daimyo of the Land of Fire looked at Lin Yu with nothing but obedience and worship!

"You should know what to do..."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Lin Yu swept his eyes across the entire daimyo's retinue, and all of them lost consciousness... Lin Yu manipulated their memories, a feat he could accomplish without using Kotoamatsukami.

Lin Yu pulled the hood up over his head: "That's settled then... Once they wake up, give the order as soon as possible. If there are any further arrangements, I'll contact you again."

The lord bowed deeply: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

call out!

Lin Yu disappeared into the vortex of spacetime.

Within the space-time continuum, Kurenai Yuhi, through the crystal ball, could see everything happening outside with perfect clarity, gazing at Lin Yu who appeared before her.

Floating blocks, a similar environment, two people alone, so familiar—what on earth is going on?

Hong unconsciously snuggled against Lin Yu's back. Lin Yu turned his head and gave her a light kiss on the lips!

"Hey, stop spacing out, we're leaving..." Lin Yu's urging voice came from before the red eyes.

Hong suddenly came to her senses and realized that... the kiss Lin Yu had given her just now was just a hallucination.

"Are we... going back?"

"Ah, I've finished the important business."

"Oh." Hong reached out her little hand and grabbed Lin Yu's clothes.

call out!

The vortex of divine power churned, and Kurenai felt a pang of regret: Why... did I witness what just happened?

Feathered Emperor City.

Hong returned to her residence alone. After showering, glistening water droplets clung to her black curly hair, and her body exuded a unique fragrance. Barefoot, she walked to the coat rack, hugged the black coat to her arms, and sniffed it affectionately: "I love it so much, why do I love it so much..."

The Land of Fire, Daimyo Prefecture.

As checkpoints opened one after another, a magnificent crimson steed galloped past, carrying the highest order from the Fire Country's Daimyo, heading towards the Fire Country's border!

That is the most elite Thunderfire Divine Steed of the Fire Kingdom, capable of traveling a thousand miles in a day. From Daming Prefecture to the border, a distance of three thousand miles, it would take three days and three nights even if the horse did not stop. Can you catch up?

This will determine the life and death of the entire Konoha community!

Three days later, in the evening.

The border of the Land of Fire.

Kakashi led 5500 surviving Konoha ninjas (originally 6000), but after days of travel, food shortages, and harsh conditions, 500 seriously wounded ninjas did not receive effective treatment and eventually collapsed on the road.
