Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

"Snow, you and Naruto go first..." Hinata murmured in her sleep, lying next to her.

Xiaoxue opened her eyes and looked at Hinata's slightly flushed face in her sleep: "It's here too, really, what can I say..."

"I will definitely protect you." Xiaoxue closed her eyes, her breathing gradually becoming even.

The Land of Fire announced that, in consideration of Konoha's contributions to the Land of Fire over the years, it would be lenient towards Konoha's choice to join the Ninja Nation, making it the second of the Five Great Nations, after the Land of Lightning and the Hidden Cloud Village, to end the system of one village per nation.

Anyone with eyes can see that it was just empty talk. How could the chaos and turmoil in the Land of Fire have kept it a secret from the other nations?

Konoha was already at its end, but a royal decree from the Daimyo pulled it back from the brink of death...

The decree was extremely illogical, as if it were being driven by an invisible hand, but this was the internal affair of the Land of Fire, and other countries had no right to interfere.

However, various criticisms began to circulate.

It's nothing more than the Fire Country's daimyo being bribed by the Ninja Country to protect Konoha's traitors...

These criticisms were mostly spread by extremists within the Land of Fire who hated Konoha, as well as spies from other countries.

Conflict is everywhere. Those in high positions have a keen sense of smell, knowing when to remain still and when to strike hard. As soon as the slightest crack appears, they will seize it and turn it into a hole. This is called sowing discord!

In order to control their own ninja villages, various countries spread rumors about how miserable Konoha was, how it had come to submit after traveling thousands of miles, and how it was not welcomed and was ostracized!

But then, the Leaf Village was officially established, and the rumors were debunked, causing a worldwide uproar!

The once underestimated Ninja Kingdom now has its own vassal state!

The Hidden Leaf Village allocated 60,000 square kilometers of its own land as Konoha territory, and distributed 100,000 civilians as the foundation for development, not to mention financial aid...

After a brief silence, the leaders of various countries offered a different perspective, saying that the so-called "hidden power" was nothing more than a self-indulgent act behind closed doors, using limited land resources to win people's hearts and minds, and calling themselves vassal states was simply a joke!

However, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire announced that he would give away 100,000 square kilometers of land in the northern part of the Land of Fire, stretching from east to west, to the Dark Ninja Country free of charge!

The territory hidden in the mainland has not only not decreased, but has increased by 40,000 square kilometers, and its geographical location is full of strategic significance!

The entire ninja world was in an uproar!

The memorials of advice, like snowflakes, drifted from all over the Land of Fire to the Daimyo's residence, but the Daimyo turned a deaf ear and stubbornly stuck to his own opinion!

Loyal ministers who dared to remonstrate did not hesitate to kill themselves by crashing into a pillar in the daimyo mansion, or even commit seppuku like samurai, leaving their livers and brains scattered on the ground, but the daimyo remained unmoved!

The people of the Land of Fire were outraged and even initiated the impeachment procedure for daimyo, which had not been used for a century!

Daimyo's status is in jeopardy...

Several days later, the shrewd and resourceful daimyo of the Land of Fire was assassinated on his way back to his palace...

The power of the God of Separation, which Lin Yu had cast from afar, came to an end with the death of the person who had been affected.

In the Feather Emperor City, when he heard the news, Lin Yu was sitting by the pond fishing, a rare sight for him.

Wow!

He pulled the koi that had taken the bait out of the water. The koi was clinging tightly to the bait, its body thrashing about in mid-air.

Lin Yu turned the handle of the fishing rod, slowly reeling in the line, and sighed, "The principle that water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it is universally applicable. Indeed, to influence a major ninja nation like the Land of Fire, it's not something that can be done by influencing the will of a single daimyo..."

He put the koi back into the bucket, changed the bait, and cast the fishing line again...

"However, I have no interest in influencing the will of ordinary people. This time, Kotoamatsukami has already brought enough benefits to my ninja nation, so let them make a fuss..."

The Land of Fire elected a new daimyo, and the situation stabilized. During this time, the Hyuga clan, who had been staying in the Land of Fire, led the elderly, women, and children of Konoha to leave the Land of Fire safely and come to the land of the Hidden Ninja.

Seeing that the Hidden Ninja Kingdom had become the biggest winner, and that Konoha, after undergoing a baptism, was also heading towards a new future, the daimyo, fearing that their own ninja villages would follow suit, introduced a series of appeasement measures. Even the usually stingy Land of Wind allocated a large amount of funds, land, and people to Sunagakure.

The ninja villages experienced their final period of prosperity. However, after a little over a year, the ninja villages successively rebelled and submitted to the Dark Ninja Kingdom. This period is known to later generations as the 'Post-Ninja Village Era'.

The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk.

That was the last stand of the already declining one-country-one-village system in the face of global trends!

In the vast ninja world, there is a country far removed from the conflicts between ninjas and commoners... the land of samurai, the Land of Iron.

Covering an area of ​​80,000 square kilometers, more than half of its territory consists of winding and rugged foothills, the last bastion of the samurai, blessed by heavy snow all year round, and where flowering iron trees can be seen everywhere.

In the dead of night, on a snow-covered mountain rarely visited by humans, two lines of footprints stretched from the foot of the mountain to the summit. The footprints were widely spaced and evenly spaced, indicating a very steady pace. The footprints were extremely deep, and the falling snow could not smooth them over in a short time, showing that the steps were heavy and powerful!

Their footsteps finally stopped outside the palace gates atop the mountain.

It was a man completely encased in black samurai armor, the cold moonlight casting a one-armed shadow on the snow!

He reached out and pushed open the door that had been sealed for decades!

The Hall of Famous Swords is a hall dedicated to famous swords.

The black iron path leads straight to the end, and on the cold sword racks on both sides are displayed rare and famous swords, each of which symbolizes the past of a glorious warrior!

hum!hum!hum!

As he arrived, the sword racks on both sides began to vibrate and hum incessantly, whether to welcome him or to warn him, it was unclear!

He ignored both sides and walked straight ahead, stopping in front of the only unmoved sword rack in the center. He grasped the famous sword displayed there, his thumb pressing against the hilt, and slightly drew it from its sheath!

chap!

With that crisp sound, a dazzling white light followed, too bright to look at!

Beneath the samurai helmet, those hawk-like eyes narrowed, a burning light flashing beneath their cold exterior: "The Famous Sword - Mikazuki Munechika!"

"You audacious thief, how dare you trespass into the Hall of Famous Swords of the Iron Kingdom!" A majestic shout rang out from the snow outside the hall.

Mifune, the leader of the Land of Iron, held the hilt of the famous sword Kurosawa at his waist.

“Mifune…you’ve gotten old too.” The man turned around, his samurai armor gleaming with a dull thud.

Mifune's pupils contracted, filled with deep horror!

The next instant, his Kurosawa sword was drawn from his waist, as was his opponent. In a duel between samurai, a single move could determine life or death!

A flash!!

Click!

The blades flashed past, the same swordsmanship... yet the famous sword Kurosawa snapped in two.

"The One-Armed Swordsman... Miyamoto!"

Thump! Mifune collapsed onto the cold ground: "I never thought... you were still alive. What exactly are you planning to do!"

Mikazuki Munechika gleamed under the moonlight. Miyamoto said, "I want to avenge myself on the man who owned this Mikazuki Munechika, the man who caused me to lose my arm. But this isn't enough. It seems I need a demon sword... Zatoichi, get your neck ready!"

“Demon Blade…you want to go to the Valley of the Netherworld! That place must never be touched, come back…!” Mifune stared at Miyamoto’s departing figure in his unfocused vision, trying his best to speak, but in the end, he lost consciousness due to dizziness from blood loss.

Chapter 436 The Secret of the Vortex!

There are only two months left until the Three-Tails is resurrected.

The tenth tailed beast, a collective of the nine tailed beasts, seems to be swaying its tail, waiting for a master to tame it...

Those qualified to compete for control of the Ten-Tails were Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan and the power of the Uzumaki clan, and Lin Yu, who possessed the power of both the Uchiha and Senju clans!

Now... there's another Uchiha Madara lurking in the shadows!

"Jiraiya has been gone for almost a month now. I hope he achieves something on this trip and successfully exposes Madara's lair so that I can help him wipe them out in one fell swoop. Then the battle for the Ten-Tails will be one less formidable enemy..."

Becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki will mark Lin Yu's official entry into the realm of the Six Paths!

"Six Paths, Six Paths..." Lin Yu murmured. He once thought he understood the Six Paths enough, until the battle with Ashina Uzumaki on Mount Koya in the Land of Fire...

"In terms of bloodline, the vortex is closer to the Asura!"

"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 clan!"

"If you can obtain the power of the vortex, you will be completely transformed. Even if you don't become the Jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails, you will become an existence similar to the Six Paths!"

After leaving behind these chilling words, Ashina passed away peacefully!

After returning to Feather Emperor City, Lin Yu attempted to resurrect Ashina using the Impure World Reincarnation technique... but failed! Ashina was a person who had been resurrected from the dead. He completely sealed his soul within his body, deceiving the Grim Reaper and lingering in the world for fifty years. After his death, his soul could no longer return to the Pure Land of Bliss. This must be the price of deceiving the Grim Reaper!

He can no longer be summoned in any way, including through the Impure World Reincarnation!

"Uzumaki Power, go ask that person..."

In the evening, Lin Yu found Mito alone.

Hashirama was busy building the Hidden Leaf Ninja Kingdom, a long-term and massive project, and he couldn't come back anytime soon... Mito, of course, was idle in Yuhuang Castle. When Lin Yu came to chat with her to relieve his boredom, she was more than happy to welcome him.

First, Lin Yu truthfully told Mito about Ashina's escape from death, his disillusionment with the world, his becoming a monk in the Land of Fire, his battle with him a few days ago, and his eventual death.

I thought Mito would be angry, after all, Ashina is her biological father!

But Mito's expression was much calmer than expected. Her brows furrowed slightly, and she said with a hint of melancholy, "I see. Since this is the path Father has chosen, as his children, we can only respect his choice..."

Lin Yu asked in surprise, "But he is, after all,..."

Mito smiled: "Yu'er, your mother is a woman who has lived a full life in this world, and I know what aging means..."

Mito, the eldest princess of the Uzumaki clan, experienced a life full of ups and downs.

She grew up, got married, had children, her daughter met with misfortune when she was young, her husband died young, and mother and son became enemies. She held on to the village her husband left behind, and the Nine-Tailed Fox was sealed in her body. As the Jinchūriki of Konoha, she witnessed the changes of time, saw off one familiar face after another, and finally died alone!

Aging is a torment. At that age, dying peacefully in one's sleep is the natural and long-cherished wish. But because of worldly ties, she could only endure it until the person she was waiting for and entrusted with her appeared, to whom she passed on her mission, and then departed from this world...

Not even Hashirama, but Mito Uzumaki, she is the true living history of Konoha!

Mito said with a hint of sadness, "I think there must have been a reason why Father chose to fight you at the end of his life. At least, he realized his value in the end..."

Lin Yu felt a pang of disappointment.

She's definitely someone who's been through it all; her level of understanding and perspective far surpasses that of ordinary people! She's one of the very few people Lin Yu considers someone he needs to look up to, even though his current strength may have already surpassed Mito's.

I truly admire and respect this godmother.

Lin Yu asked respectfully, "Godmother, could you tell your son the history of the Uzumaki and Senju clans in detail?"

As the eldest princess of the Uzumaki clan, Mito was naturally the person who knew the most secrets besides Ashina.

Mito picked up her recently favored red coffee, took an elegant sip, and put it down, her words filled with doting affection and tenderness: "Of course... Xiaoyu is the junior closest to me. Whatever you want to know, your mother will tell you."

Mito quickly organized her thoughts and said seriously, "To talk about the history of the Uzumaki and Senju clans, we must mention their common ancestor, Ashura... Before this, Ashura's surname was a mystery, but from what you told me earlier, we can deduce that his full name was... Ōtsutsuki Ashura."

Lin Yu nodded and listened attentively.

"That happened after the Sage of Six Paths passed away. Ashura, who inherited the Sage's will and power, and his brother Indra, who left with hatred, did not forget to marry and have children while fighting, so as to continue their bloodline and power."

"Ashura had twins, a boy and a girl. The brother was named Rahu, and the sister was named Rahu. The two siblings each inherited a portion of Ashura's power. The brother, Rahu, possessed a pure Yang physique and was born with incredible chakra and vitality, as well as powerful Wood Release!"
