Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

In the delivery room, a mother endured countless hardships to finally give birth to her child, but before she could even see her baby one last time... destruction struck!

That child came into this world and left in just a few seconds!

If it weren't for this catastrophe, this child might have become an extraordinary person in the future!

In the courtyard, after a ten-year courtship, a couple finally tied the knot. Friends and family from both sides gathered to offer their blessings to the newlyweds!

The groom, dressed in a kimono, is thanking the guests for their blessings, while the bride, wearing a white kimono, is joyfully welcoming the most sacred moment of her life.

But destruction came in an instant... their happiness ended with their unfinished wedding!

They should have died decades later, and their descendants, whom they had raised, should have given them a grand funeral, allowing them to pass away in mourning and remembrance!

But now, the people who could hold funerals for them, the people who could attend their funerals, no longer exist!

On the plains, a diligent boy is running, sweating profusely. He was blessed with strong legs, and his dream is to become the fastest runner!

"Dad, Mom, watch me! I will definitely realize the value of my life!" Wiping away his sweat, the boy continued running.

Destruction is coming... No matter how fast he runs, he can't outrun death!

The boy, his dreams, and his promise to his parents in heaven all vanished into thin air!

Shin-hi-ji (New Fire Temple)

More than a year ago, during the destruction of the Fire Temple, the high monk Jiriku failed to protect the daimyo and was captured by the Shadow Uchiha Yu. In the end, he refused the olive branch offered by Lin Yu and began to rebuild the Fire Temple.

At this moment, Di Lu sat upright on the altar.

Below, hundreds of monks sat solemnly, chanting Buddhist mantras. The scene was filled with indescribable sorrow, clearly foreshadowing their impending death!

"I don't want to die!! I still don't want to die, Master Dilu, will Buddha protect us!!!" The young novice monk finally couldn't help but cry.

Dilu closed his eyes and said, "The Buddha's love for all beings also means that the Buddha does not favor anyone. In the face of death, we are all equal. Let us pray for the departed beings; this is the only thing we can do..."

When Dilu opened his eyes, he heard the earth's mournful cry. In his final moments, he prayed in his heart: "May the Buddha have mercy and stop the suffering of living beings!"

The daimyo of Daimyo Prefecture, who has been in office for less than a year, has made outstanding achievements and is deeply loved by the people of the Land of Fire.

"My dear Oda, have I not done enough? Why has the Land of Fire suffered such divine punishment?" he asked the seated general Oda with a troubled expression.

Oda, the legendary general who once drove Konoha to the brink of destruction, solemnly said, "No, you are already a worthy king. It can only be said that the fate of my Land of Fire has run its course..."

"Alas, prosperity brings suffering to the people, ruin brings suffering to the people. My dear minister, thank you for staying by my side until the very end..." Daming closed his eyes.

Destruction is coming, and the monarchy is gone!

The ruins of the original Muye Village.

Two elderly figures sat on the dilapidated building, gazing at the Fire Shadow Rock above.

Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, the only two remaining advisors of Konoha, did not move with Konoha to the Ninja Country, but chose to stay and protect this abandoned land!

Men Yan said with a complicated expression, "Xiao Chun, are we really the dregs of the old era?"

Koharu Utatane took out a package, and inside was a pair of rusty headbands: "Merits and demerits, right and wrong, will all be judged by posterity, but there is one thing that no one can deny: we are Konoha ninjas!"

Men Yan smiled, and he and Xiao Chun each put on their headbands: "Fallen leaves always return to their roots..."

boom!

Destruction is coming... taking away everything from the old site of Konoha, along with the love, hatred, and grudges left on this land!

Sixty seconds passed, and the destructive repulsive field finally reached its end. On the land of the Land of Fire, which spanned nearly a million square kilometers, hundreds of cities and hundreds of millions of people, regardless of age, gender, wealth, or morality, all became victims of Nagato's ideology!

The earth was left with irreparable scars. The earth-shattering sound was felt by all the surrounding countries. Even those who did not feel it could clearly see the tragic scene from the sky!

In the utter silence of the world, Nagato's deep voice echoed through the sky: "War brings death, injury, and sorrow to both sides. People cannot accept the death of those they cherish; they think so simply, believing that their own people will not die. In reality, death breeds grief and hatred that cannot be let go. People die cheaply, leaving behind only eternal, unspeakable pain. That is war!"

"Whether it's individuals, nations, or the world, we don't care about the reasons for war. Religion, ideology, resources, land, resentment, love, whims... these trivial reasons are just pretexts for war. War will never end; reasons can be thought of afterward... it's human instinct to seek war!"

"Only in the face of death are people absolutely equal! Although we try to find the meaning of death, in the end we find that all that is left is... pain and hatred that we don't know where to vent."

"If you don't understand other people's pain, you can't truly understand them, and even if you can understand them, you can't reconcile with them!"

"Only after experiencing the same pain can people reflect on their past thoughts, ideas, and actions! After compassionately licking each other's wounds, in order to prevent experiencing pain again, people can achieve true reconciliation based on understanding!"

"It seems... you've already begun to understand what pain is, but since you haven't experienced the same pain, you're mistakenly convinced that you're the only ones who will escape unscathed!"

"As the only god, I will tell you frankly: this technique that wiped out the Land of Fire can be used once a day. Once, it can wipe out a great nation! No great nation can escape its reach!"

"In the next five days, I will successively wipe out the Land of Lightning, the Land of Wind, the Land of Water, and the Land of Earth. After eliminating all the major powers, I will wipe out the Land of Dark Ninjas!"

"Mortals, while experiencing pain, struggle with all your might. Those who survive the next five days of pain will become survivors, until... decades later, when the ability to suppress this pain weakens, and I, the only god, will unleash a new round of pain!"

call out!

The illusion of heaven and earth dissipated, and the sky returned to daylight, but the whole world was shrouded in the shadow of fear...

At Yuhuang Castle, Madara stood atop the mountain, gazing at the gloomy sky, gripping his shoulders tightly: "Nagato, that little brat, I, Madara, will kill him...!!"

Chapter 516 The Six Paths of Nagato, The Manifestations of All Beings!

The world is already in chaos, and the country facing the greatest calamity is the Land of Lightning, the next target in Nagato's declaration. Its citizens are abandoning their homes and livelihoods and fleeing to smaller countries that have not been named!

But the Land of Lightning is so vast that in a single day, only those near the border can escape; those further away can only wait to die.

Once order collapses, laws lose their binding force, and the true nature of humanity is revealed. Acts of burning, killing, and looting are played out everywhere. It can be described as the last madness before the end of the world!

The Land of Lightning was the strongest economic power among the original five great nations. After the destruction of the Hidden Cloud Village, its armed forces were completely replaced by traditional soldiers. With an army of millions, it is in awe of no one!

But this time the enemy is a god-level force capable of destroying a country in one blow. Not to mention a million, even tens of millions of troops would be powerless against it!

Faced with the out-of-control order, the advisors of the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning were as anxious as ants on a hot pan!

"Daimyo, we can only seek help from the ninjas now!"

"Ninjas? Where can we find ninjas? We have no ninjas left! And what use are ninjas against such an enemy!"

"If we had ninjas, at least they could buy us time to retreat! We can't stay here any longer!"

"There should still be remnants of the Cloud Village, right? Why not offer them a large sum of money to bring them back!" The speaker seemed to have forgotten how the Land of Lightning had wiped out the remnants of the Cloud Village.

"Shut up, all of you!" the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning shouted in frustration. His staff fell silent, waiting for the Daimyo to speak.

"Alas." Finally, the daimyo sighed and said, "Gentlemen, take your families and seek refuge as soon as possible. If you ride the fastest horses, you might still be able to catch up..."

"And what about you, Lord Daimyo?"

"I am the ruler of a country, and I shall live and die with my country!" Even that tyrannical and cruel daimyo showed the responsibility expected of a monarch when the country was in peril.

"My lord!!!" The advisors dispersed amidst a wave of grief.

The daimyo of the Land of Lightning sat alone on his throne in his vast mansion, which was extremely desolate and lonely.

He murmured, "Ninjas... ninjas, I have long felt that ninjas are the root of chaos."

The Land of Lightning has deep ties with the Six Paths Ninja Clan. As the daimyo, who is its ruler, he also has access to some unknown secrets. He knows that the chaos and turmoil of war among ordinary people can lead to widespread suffering, but it will ultimately not result in annihilation...

Every upheaval capable of destroying the world is related to ninjas and chakra!

Therefore, he viewed ninjas as the source of chaos and plotted to eliminate them!

call out!

Space distorted, and a man in a white robe descended amidst the vortex: "Yo, Lord Da Ming, how have you been..."

"You are... the Shadow!" The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning narrowed his eyes slightly, then looked at him and said, "I remember your Dark Ninja Country is also on the list, right? Why do you have the leisure to come here?"

Lin Yu said, "I just wanted to do my best to save some lives..."

"Hmm?" The daimyo gleaned some information: "That enemy, can you defeat him?"

Lin Yu said solemnly, "I cannot defeat him now, but I may not be able to in three days..."

Judging from the timeline, Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan will be fully fused in three days. At that time, Yu will also obtain his own Rinnegan and possess the same power as the Sage of Six Paths before becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, enough to fight against Nagato who has become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki!

The daimyo of the Land of Lightning clenched his fist: "Three days, which means... at least three more major powers will be destroyed!"

Lin Yu said, "Perhaps it won't come to that... Right now, everyone in the Land of Wind, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Water is on edge and has ordered their subordinate ninja villages to enter a state of war alert. At that time, even genin will participate in the war, and the Anpakuto will also participate, forming a ninja alliance with the major ninja villages to deal with the threat from Akatsuki. In other words, the Fourth Shinobi World War is about to break out!"

"If things go smoothly, perhaps the number of countries to be destroyed will be reduced to two, or even... one!"

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning said, "So, does that mean the destruction of my Land of Lightning is a foregone conclusion?"

Lin Yu nodded and said, "It's a pity, yes, but if you had tried to save more lives earlier, you might have been able to save quite a few people!"

The Daimyo of the Land of Lightning clenched his fists even tighter: "What should I do?"

Lin Yu said, "Although the world is in chaos, as a daimyo... you should still have some influence. At least the regular army of the Land of Lightning will still obey your orders! Order them to use the fastest vehicles and horses to escort as many people as possible out to settle in the Dark Ninja Country! Of course... let those who are busy burning, killing, looting, and taking advantage of the chaos fend for themselves!"

The daimyo said, "However, the Dark Ninja Country has been specifically named after us. After witnessing the enemy's strength, I think they would rather seek refuge in a small country than consider going to any of the countries that have been named..."

"Hehe." Lin Yu laughed, "The power is in his hands, and who he targets first depends entirely on his mood! Let me tell you plainly, there is no absolutely safe place in this world anymore! But at least in my ninja kingdom, there is the strongest defensive force!"

"I just want to save as many lives as possible. If the people of your Land of Lightning don't appreciate it, so be it. It won't affect me at all..."

"What do you want?" As a monarch, the daimyo naturally understood that there was no such thing as free help between nations.

"After the war, the surviving people of the Land of Lightning will belong to our Ninja Country! Of course, I will guarantee that these people who join us later will have the same human rights as other citizens and will not be treated differently. As for you, you will also be at my command!"

"Me!? I'm not a ninja, and I don't know ninjutsu... In your ninja country, what use would I have!"

"Well, I have my own plans. You'll find out when the time comes..." Lin Yu thought to himself with a faint smile: Sasuke, after I make you the city lord, I'll have the daimyo of the Land of Lightning assist you. Don't let me and Itachi down!

The daimyo said, "The situation is already out of control. I estimate that even if we use the entire nation's resources, we can only manage to safely send out one-tenth of the people in a single day, that's the limit..."

"One-tenth of that is still tens of millions of people, that's a lot..."

call out!

Yu disappeared into the vortex of divine power.

Next... the entire ninja world will be racing against time to survive.

Late at night, somewhere in the Land of Frost, Nagato tapped the ground with six tin staffs in his hand.

Spiritual communication!

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

Konan, Tento Kamukura, Kisame Hoshigaki, Sasori Akagami, and Sojo!

Five Akatsuki members, scattered across various locations, were gathered here, each with a different expression as they looked at Nagato.

Nagato's gaze swept over everyone, and he said in a deep voice, "First of all, congratulations to all members of Akatsuki for being chosen by 'God'!"
