Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

The Uchiha and Senju clans joined forces, attracting numerous other clans. The war ended, and Konoha Village was founded.

Madara and Jiri both became part of Konoha.

Three years later.

At the age of twenty-seven, Madara believed that the Uchiha clan would one day be destroyed by Tobirama, so he proposed to lead the clan to break away from Konoha, but was rejected by the clan members.

He met with Jiri the night before he left Konoha.

Ban asked, "Chiri, would you like to come with me?"

Zhili said, "If it's just about going with you, I'm willing to use the little life I have left to accompany you to the ends of the earth. You won't destroy this hard-won peace, right?"

"..." Madara remained silent. Having seen the Uchiha stone tablet, he had already resolved to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

“It seems not. I’m sorry, Ban, I can’t go with you…” In the night wind, Zhili shook her head resolutely, hoping that this would make Ban change his mind.

"I see, I understand." But Ban didn't turn around. He carried his fan on his back and embarked on his lonely journey to pursue his dream.

Fate is cruel; a couple who were once a match made in heaven parted ways because of their differing beliefs!

One year after Ban left.

The Uchiha clan has been engulfed in the 'Izanagi' rebellion!

It turns out that on the battlefield, there were many Uchiha people who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan after losing their loved ones or friends!

That light is not eternal; as time goes by, the risk of blindness looms ahead!

Since there's no chance of gaining eternal sight anyway, rather than waiting to lose it, I might as well use these eyes to do something!

The Mangekyou Sharingan can be activated even without Hashirama cells, allowing one to awaken Izanagi.

With the Uchiha's fighting strength, once they activate Izanagi, battles often end in an instant. Moreover, once they awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, the duration of Izanagi is generally over five minutes... If they deactivate it midway, they won't lose their sight temporarily!

Because of Izanagi, the Uchiha clan became arrogant and overly reliant on it. They would even activate Izanagi in battles that did not require it, resulting in a waste of their ocular power!

Once Izanagi is lost, death will be the only thing waiting for him.

After a short period of windfall profits, you'll end up with nothing!

Realizing that the Uchiha clan would face annihilation if things continued this way, Chiri created 'Izanami' and quelled the Izanagi Rebellion.

After that, Zhili's illness became terminal, and he could only stay in bed.

Not long after, Madara arrived with the Nine-Tails, and at the Valley of the End, he engaged in that epic battle with Hashirama Senju...

And then everything that followed is what we know.

Returning to his senses, Madara turned to look at Chiri: "Chiri, I've never hated you. I know what you're after..."

Chiri bit her lip: "But I hate myself..."

Ban clenched his fists tightly: "Why?"

Zhili said regretfully, "I hate myself for not going forward and holding you then. Maybe you wouldn't have left, and you wouldn't have died!"

Yes, on the night he learned of Madara's death at the Valley of the End, Chiri, lying on her sickbed, left this world in tears!

Madara's expression shifted. He stepped forward, pulled Chiri into his arms, and whispered, "It's alright. Since fate has brought us together again, I will never let go again..."

Chapter 622 A Perfect Match, A Love Story Between Snake and Bean!

Ningguta, second floor, where Hongdou is imprisoned.

After three days and nights, and countless reincarnations within Izanami, Kabuto finally recognized himself and returned to reality. At this moment, he sat in the corner, gazing absently at the photograph in his hand.

"Kabuto, we meet again." Orochimaru's deep, hoarse voice rang out in front of him.

"Lord Orochimaru?" Kabuto looked up, his expression strangely calm.

Orochimaru said wisely, "It seems you are no longer confused."

Kabuto lowered his head and pondered, "Ah, it was Itachi who made me understand what my true longing for a place to belong was, and who I really am. It's only because you were the first person to acknowledge my existence when I was in despair that I willingly allowed myself to be driven and used by you..."

Kabuto raised his head: "And Orochimaru-sama, back then you deliberately prevented Tobi from disposing of my body, didn't you? You saw all along that I implanted the Sharingan into my body to activate Izanagi and escape..."

Orochimaru raised an eyebrow: "Oh? You noticed it...?"

Red-faced rubbed the bridge of his nose: "Back then, your perspective was far broader than mine, but I was unwilling to admit it and deceived myself into believing that you had been completely brainwashed by Uchiha Yu and thus abandoned me... So, what was your purpose in letting me live back then?"

Orochimaru held up two fingers: "I have two purposes. First, I don't want you to die at such a young age. Second, I want to see another possibility."

"Another possibility?"

"Yes, there is another life that I cannot experience firsthand... Yu-jun has changed my life, so I want you to live on, so that you can see another possibility for my life. I think I have found the answer."

Dou sighed, "You've really used me from beginning to end..."

Orochimaru asked, "Will you continue to seek revenge against Yu-kun from now on?"

Dou shook his head and said, "No, I have found my true home... I don't need revenge anymore."

Orochimaru said meaningfully, "I see. But you haven't finished paying back what you owe, Kabuto."

Dou asked, "What do you mean?"

Orochimaru raised a finger, pointing at Anko, whose body was now occupied by Kabuto: "This child's body..."

Kabuto said, "So, you want to separate my soul from this body, right...? I understand, I'm aware of that, but Anko's own soul has already been sealed within the Shinigami's body, and I'm afraid it's already..."

Orochimaru smiled and said, "I already have a way to break the Shinigami seal. It was Yu-kun who told me about it."

"What did you say?!" Dou asked in astonishment.

Orochimaru took out a mask and handed it to Kabuto: "This is the 'Hannya Mask' that I found in the Uzumaki clan's Natsume-do. After wearing it, you can directly synchronize with the Shinigami and offer yourself as a sacrifice to the Shinigami. By cutting open your stomach, you can release your imprisoned soul!"

Kabuto took the mask, his brows furrowed in thought: "A sacrifice..."

Orochimaru said in a cryptic tone, "Hmm, so you're saying you'll die, Kabuto."

"I understand... I will bear the consequences of my own actions!"

Kabuto sighed with a complicated expression and put the Hannya mask on his face.

"Ugh!"

Boom! With Kabuto's shout, the Grim Reaper rose behind him.

Kabuto took the ninja sword from Orochimaru, plunged it into his own abdomen, and then slashed it horizontally...

"Ughhhhhhh...!!" The excruciating pain, reaching deep into his soul, caused him to scream in agony, drenched in sweat.

"Hahahahahaha..." Death laughed as he simultaneously committed seppuku!

call out!call out!

Two wisps of souls floated out from the dissected belly of Death and hung above the tower!

Orochimaru reached out and pulled Anko's soul aside, then stuffed the soul belonging to the Fourth Raikage, A, back into the Shinigami's belly.

Boom! Death vanished.

"Huff, huff, huff..." Kabuto gasped for breath, "This, this is good, Lord Orochimaru. I'm about to leave, but please give me some time, because I have many contingency plans left over from the past that I want to explain to you all. This is related to the future of the ninja world... Huff, huff!"

Orochimaru smiled and looked up at the Rinnegan relief above him: "Yu-kun, did you see that?"

call out!

Accompanied by the divine vortex, Yu personally arrived at the second floor of Ningguta.

Red-faced exclaimed in surprise: "Uchiha... Yu!?"

Yu said coldly, "You know, Kabuto, I originally wanted to kill you to vent my anger no matter what, but Itachi and Orochimaru both expressed their desire to redeem you through their own actions... But the last sentence you just said is the key..."

Hongdou asked, "The key point? Is it that I have a backup plan?"

Yu nodded: "Yes, you've truthfully confessed to this matter, which proves that you've truly let go of the past and don't intend to oppose me anymore. That's the real prerequisite for me to let you go..."

Hongdou asked, "What if... I didn't have any backup plans in the first place?"

Yu laughed and said, "Hmph, that proves that what I've seen so far is your limit. I haven't been able to prove that you have any value in continuing to live, so it would be better to kill you to vent my anger... Congratulations, you have truly grasped the helm of fate and have the right to live!"

Snapped!

Yu clasped his hands together, and his Rinnegan emitted a ghostly light.

call out!

A brand new body was created from nothing...

The body's age and appearance are those of Kabuto Yakushi from his time in the orphanage!

Yu said, "This is a vessel I recreated for you using Izanagi. Well, the appearance is based on your childhood appearance because you looked more pleasing to the eye at this time. But after all, it is not your original body, and the blueprint is different, so I cannot revive you using the Hell Path."

"But that forbidden technique that allows the soul to transfer and forcibly take over a body can still be done. You should know which technique I'm talking about, right?"

Red-Clad asked, "Ah, I understand... So, what do you want me to do by letting me live?"

Yu asked, "Tell me your wish first."

Hongdou thought to herself, "I want to... be the director of the orphanage, but you probably won't grant my wish."

Yu said in a deep voice, "I'm glad you know your place! Yes, you must atone for the sins you committed and use your most proficient cunning and skills to secure corresponding benefits for the Ninja Kingdom and for me! If you are willing to accept this price, then when the world is at peace and there are no more external threats, I will grant your wish and make you the director of the orphanage!"

After a struggle with her thoughts, Hongdou made up her mind: "Then... I'll respectfully comply!"

Swish! She formed a hand seal.

—Forbidden Technique: Reincarnation of the Undying!

boom!

A flash of red light appeared, and Kabuto's soul took over the newborn body.

Whoosh! Orochimaru stepped forward and caught Anko's fallen body.

The newly reborn Kabuto opened his eyes and knelt on one knee before Yu: "Kabuto, thank you, Emperor Yu, for your grace in giving me life!"

Yu took out a pair of glasses and handed them to him: "Put on these glasses. From today onwards, you are the chief strategist of the Ninja Kingdom, and concurrently the minister of the Foreign Affairs Department!"

"Yes!" Dou took the glasses and solemnly put them on his nose. "Now, I will tell you all the backup plans I had arranged before!"

"Okay." Yu nodded: "No rush, let's finish up first."

His eyes, the Samsara Eyes, suddenly shone brightly.
