Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

"Listen, no matter how similar Madara's eyes are to yours in terms of ocular power, the fact that he cannot summon the Gedo Mazo is irrefutable proof that he is an imposter!"

"What you need to do now is to seal the Nine-Tails in your possession into the Gedo Mazo as soon as possible, lest something unexpected happen!"

"I understand... I will immediately summon the members of Akatsuki!"

Black Zetsu asked, "Wait, are the members of Akatsuki clean in terms of background right now?"

“I’ve already taken care of Ah Fei, who has a dirty past…”

"Ah Fei can't be taken down so easily!"

"What do you mean? Kisame wouldn't lie to me, would he? Could it be... that Kisame mistakenly thought Tobi was dead?"

“Nagato, you’re still too young. Listen to me. Go somewhere where no one can find you and seal the Nine-Tails all by yourself…” Black Zetsu said.

"Then, what about Konan?" Nagato asked.

"Xiao Nan, that woman, can you rule out the possibility that someone tampered with her?" Hei Jue asked cautiously.

"Impossible! Konan is the only one who would never betray me!" Nagato insisted.

"Whether it's betrayal or not, that's not important! Uchiha Yu is awake now! And there's Madara outside, eyeing you covetously! Although Uchiha Yu and Uchiha Madara are enemies, they share common interests, so the possibility of them joining forces cannot be ruled out! If they join forces, unless you become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, you will have no chance of winning!"

"Now, you can get everything back even if you lose it, but you absolutely cannot lose the Nine-Tails! Once you become the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, that power will allow you to revive the people you care about at will!"

“If it were just me alone, sealing the Nine-Tails would probably take a very long time…” Nagato said.

"It's alright... I'm still here. I'll take you to a place where no one can find us, and we'll seal the Nine-Tails together! But before that, there's something I need to do!"

"The Gedo Mazo exists within you in a partially sealed form. That seal was set up by Uchiha Yu, so he might inevitably tamper with it. I will completely unseal the Mazo. After the Ten-Tails is resurrected, I will teach you the 'Six Paths Ten-Tails Coffin Seal,' which is the orthodox method to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki!"

“I see…” Nagato exclaimed.

Black Zetsu thought to himself: Hmph, Obito, you're still too green to play mind games with me. Do you think I don't know what you're up to? All those tricks you've played are things I've been doing for a thousand years! Even the 'Kamui Mark' you left on Nagato, I erased it all with 'Yin Yang Release'! Neither you nor Madara can stop Nagato from becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki! Neither of us can stop the Infinite Tsukuyomi from activating! Neither of us can stop my great mother Kaguya from returning to the world!

And so, Nagato left without saying goodbye, taking Kurama with him, without even informing Konan...

Rumble!

A heavy, oppressive rain was falling from the sky...

Konan stood in the rain, gazing blankly at the sky: Nagato, whatever decision you make, I will support you, but this time, why didn't you consult me...?

"Sister Xiao Nan, don't get wet in the rain, you'll catch a cold. I think the leader must have had a reason for leaving without saying goodbye..." Tian Dou, whose body was wrapped in bandages, walked to Xiao Nan's side and said with concern.

Xiao Nan concealed the bitterness deep in her eyes, turned around and said, "Tian Dou, I'm sorry, I failed to keep my promise. Your villagers are displaced again..."

Tian Dou laughed and said, "It's alright! At least everyone is still alive, and everything can be rebuilt!"

Tento's cheerful, sunny smile unconsciously reminded Konan of the young Yahiko, and a faint smile appeared on her lips: "Don't push yourself so hard in the future. Your villagers still need your protection..."

Tian Dou laughed and said, "It's alright. Even if I die, Sister Xiao Nan will take good care of them for me!"

Afei, carrying the great sword Samehada on his back, sat on the cliff; he was now in Kisame's form.

“Nagato left without saying goodbye. It seems he must have sensed something beforehand…” Kisame’s voice came from Samehada, where he was currently hiding.

"It's alright, let's just wait patiently for our opportunity. There's plenty of time..."

Abi's original plan was to take action during the Akatsuki's sealing ceremony of the Nine-Tails, but the plan changed.

Afei thought to himself: Black Zetsu, old foxes are indeed spicier than ever. It seems my Akatsuki career will continue for quite some time...

Three days passed amidst the undercurrents!

Inside a closed room in the Feathered Emperor City.

The last trace of 'vortex power' within Karin's body flowed into Lin Yu's body through the conduit!

The power of the vortex rotated in Yu's root chakra, eventually stabilizing and transforming into three turbines. The pure yang chakra within his body was perfectly harmonized to a state of yin and yang balance after passing through the vortex!

Yu's original Hashirama form had already been developed to its limit through ten years of hard work!

After obtaining the power of the vortex, not only the potential of this body itself was activated, but also the potential that had been accumulated through training but could only be suppressed due to the limitations of its capacity was also activated!

As if water had naturally flowed into a channel...

The two-colored flames, symbolizing yin and yang chakra, blazed fiercely in the root chakra, several times larger than when it was the solitary yang chakra. This was the result of yin and yang being harmonized, producing an effect greater than 1+1>2...

"So that's how it is. This is the true 'Ashura Body'? No wonder Ashina said that as long as one possesses the power of the vortex, even without becoming the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, one can still have power comparable to the Sage of Six Paths. So that's what he meant..."

Lin Yu sat up.

Bear!

A white cloak formed from chakra appeared on his body, with six black tomoe distributed at the collar, and a pair of horns emerging from his head...

*Whoosh!* He opened his eyes, revealing the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, which shone with dazzling brilliance!

At this moment, Lin Yu is perhaps only one Indra's catalyst away from becoming a true Six Paths Immortal!

"The Rinnegan will take a while to develop... but at this level, it's more than enough to leave Madara speechless!"

Chapter 497 The Valley of the End!

Yu walked to the adjacent facility and looked at Karin, who was still sleeping peacefully inside with a happy smile on her face: "Karin, thank you for what you did for me. I will definitely not let you down in the future..."

call out!

The divine vortex spun.

Lin Yu approached Mito and Tobirama.

Mito put down her teacup, her beautiful eyes scrutinizing Lin Yu's current posture, and smiled, "Yu'er, it seems you have obtained the true power of the Thousand Hands and the progenitor of the Uzumaki, Ashura!"

“Yes, godmother… my son is one step closer to his dream now.” Lin Yu said, looking at Tobirama, whose expression was complicated: “Sorry to keep you waiting, let’s go rescue that person!”

"Hmph... at least you have a conscience." Tobirama chuckled, stepped forward, placed his hands on Lin Yu and Mito's shoulders respectively, and activated the Flying Thunder God Technique.

On the vast ocean.

Tobirama gazed at the sea below: "My brother is trapped on the seabed by a giant rock. Although the rock itself is enormous, it's not impossible for him to escape. It's likely that Madara used some method to restrict his chakra, which is why he's in this situation..."

"Planetary Devastation, and the awl of the Six Paths Technique?"

Lin Yu murmured to himself and pressed his palm down.

Wow!

The entire sea parted to the sides like a curtain, with Mito and Tobirama standing on either side, while Haze hovered in mid-air.

Tobirama: "Even without the help of the Sage Mode chakra ball... he can stay in the sky!"

Mito: "With every gesture, he makes all of nature obey his own will!"

The two felt a resonance in their hearts—"This is the power of the Six Paths!"

The planet Earth-Exploding Star that sealed the pillars is now trapped in the silt on the seabed.

Noisy!

Lin Yu's eyes now displayed the horizontal pupils of the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku, but just like Naruto back then, there was no longer any eyeshadow appearing!

He stretched out his palm in the air, and the immense power of nature transformed into an invisible giant hand, lifting the Earth-Exploding Star from the seabed silt into the sky!

click!

He clenched his fist tightly.

Natural energy surged in from all directions... The Earth Explosion Star shattered into countless pieces that fell to the ground!

Six months later, Hashirama saw the light of day again. He landed on the sea, with Madara's Six Paths Technique black rod stuck in his back!

"All we need to do is pull out these black rods, right..." Tobirama reached out.

"Kofubi, don't touch that, you'll lose consciousness!" Mito shouted. "At this moment, only Koba is completely unaffected among us!"

"..." Tobirama withdrew his hand.

Lin Yu walked behind Hashirama and pulled out the black rods one by one...

As the last one was pulled out, Hashirama opened his tightly closed eyes and looked at the three people before him: "Boy, Tobirama, Mito..."

Mito said, "Hashirama, it was Koba who rescued you from your predicament."

Hashirama looked at Lin Yu with satisfaction: "Well done, young man... Where's Madara?"

Tobirama said, "Madara is still lively and energetic, but he probably won't be able to keep it up for much longer..."

"..." Lin Yu stared at the black rod in his hand, lost in thought, when suddenly, he shoved the black rod into his palm.

hum!

Madara's chakra surged in!

Lin Yu used Sage Mode to trace the chakra in reverse...

click!

In the end... they both realized it was each other!

Lin Yu's voice echoed in Madara's heart, thousands of miles away: "Madara, it's time for us to truly make a clean break. I'll be waiting for you there. You should know the way. This time I'll be alone, and you can bring your masquerade ball!"

"..." On the other side, Ban sat on the mountain wall, gazing at the moon hanging high in the night sky, remaining silent for a long time.

"Lord Madara... what's wrong?" Kabuto walked over.

"Obito released Hashirama's seal and found me, wanting to settle things with me..."

"Lord Madara, just like last time, let's mobilize all our forces and kill him completely!"

"No, I'll go alone..." Ban hesitated for a moment, then silently got up.

Dou asked, puzzled, "Why are you doing this!"

"I'm getting tired of this boring and empty ninja world, this world full of deception, lies, and exploitation. Between him and me, who is more suitable to be the savior of this world? Let's settle this with this battle!"

Swish!

Ban's figure swept away towards the end.

Kabuto stared at Madara's retreating figure, his glasses reflecting a blinding light: "The appearance of Black Zetsu and the disappearance of Nagato have changed his mindset. But judging from this, he is planning to get serious. The worst outcome would be a lose-lose situation for both sides."

"Then I'll make preparations on my side too. Uchiha Yu has lived for far too long. I will spare no effort to completely wipe him off this world...!"

At sea, the black rod crumbled into powder in Yu's hand: "Godmother, First Hokage, Second Hokage... I'm going to a place now to settle things with Madara!"
