Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Madara said, "I just think it's such a waste. Ordinary humans, with unusable chakra lying dormant within them, it's a complete waste of resources..."

Yu said, "The Chakra Fruit is already developing, there's no need for that..."

Ban said, "But that will take ten years... and who knows how many things will change in those ten years."

"Moreover, as long as these defenseless people still possess chakra, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be others trying to exploit it."

"Those humans, many of them are greedy and foolish. Even if they receive your favor, they might turn around and rise up in rebellion!"

Yu said, "Not slaughtering weak humans is my principle... and it is also an ironclad rule I established when I founded the Ninja Kingdom."

"Heh." Madara smiled slightly: "If you don't want their lives, you can just take their chakra."

"Hmm?" Yu glanced at Ban.

Madara crossed his arms over his chest: "Chakra is not the same as life force. Only a very few races in this world can convert their vigorous life force into an equal amount of chakra. The Senju of the Forest is an example of this. But now I understand that this should be the power that originated from the Divine Tree, which was most manifested in Hashirama."

"Before chakra appeared, humans lived just fine. Chakra was spread by the Sage of Six Paths to his many disciples through the Ninjutsu sect. Then, his many disciples spread it out, and over the years, chakra was distributed to all of humanity... But most of them possessed chakra, yet they did not play any role at all, making it as useless as nothing."

"The Divine Tree's method of plundering chakra is very brutal; it plunders life force along with it. Even the Rinnegan Preta Path plunders a portion of life force when absorbing chakra. This is probably because the Rinnegan also originated from the Divine Tree..."

At this point, Madara turned to look at Yu: "So, perhaps in the future we can find a way... to separate the chakra from ordinary people without harming their lives. This is not cruelty, but simply a reasonable recycling and utilization of resources. The fundamental purpose is still to protect this land from being tainted by those guys."

Yu withdrew his gaze and looked up at the moon in the sky: "If only we could really develop that perfect technique. Anyway, let's figure out how to get through the current situation first. If I judge that it is really necessary in the future, I will consider what you said and completely recover the chakra that is scattered in ordinary people and cannot be used, of course, without harming their lives..."

Ban's lips curled up: "That's more like it."

……

The first floor of Ningguta.

Sasuke leaned against the wall, lost in thought.

call out!

A divine vortex appeared.

"Shadow!?" Sasuke stood up when he saw who it was. "You finally came in person."

Yu walked up to Sasuke and asked, "How's your self-reflection going?"

Sasuke clenched his fist: "I was wrong, from beginning to end, completely and utterly."

Yu raised an eyebrow: "Oh? You understand it so deeply... So, what are your plans for the future?"

Sasuke said, "Konoha... because of Konoha's flawed system since the Senju era, the Uchiha clan ended in tragedy, and it also led to a tragic life for an upright and kind person like Itachi!"

"Although I have never truly lived in Konoha, I have genuinely felt from Itachi's memories that I have formed an invisible bond with Konoha. I do not want a tragedy like the Uchiha's to repeat itself, so I want to become the Hokage of Konoha and fundamentally change Konoha!"

"..." Yu stared at Sasuke with shining eyes.

Sasuke lowered his head: "I know you're probably laughing at me for being childish, thinking I said those things because I wanted to take Naruto seriously!"

Yu thought to herself: Sure enough, even if the course of history is different, some things that are meant to happen will still happen.

For example, Sasuke's desire to become Hokage!

Yu calmly said, "No, becoming Hokage is a good ambition. However, the Hokage is no longer the head of a village, but the ruler of a country. The weight of these two is very different."

Sasuke solemnly said, "Ah, I understand. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight! I am not qualified to be crowned king right now... So, I have decided to be down-to-earth!"

He raised his head: "Shadow! Let me continue to be the lord of Phantom City! That is Itachi's life's work! Even if you don't believe in my abilities, you should believe in my determination not to squander Itachi's life's work again!"

Yu looked intently at Sasuke: "Your idea is good, but you should know how the ninjas and people of Phantom Castle view you, right?"

Sasuke clenched his fist and said, "Ah, I understand... Because of what I did in the past, they called me the 'Evil King,' so I will make amends with my actions and earn their approval!"

Yu Fa asked, "What if they can't accept it?"

Sasuke partially covered his eyes and said resolutely, "That proves that I, Uchiha Sasuke, am nothing more than that kind of person! I will offer these eyes to someone who can use them!"

"Okay... it's a deal!" Yu thought to himself: At least, Sasuke is changing and growing in his own way.

Sasuke took off his prison clothes and left Ningguta.

"Um, that..." Sasuke suddenly hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Is there anything else? Go ahead and say it," Yu said.

Sasuke said, "Shadow... there's something else I want to ask of you."

Yu asked, "What is it?"

Sasuke said, "I...I hope you...revive Sakura."

Chapter 625 A World Within Three Inches, A Sudden Look Back!

Upon hearing Sasuke say he wanted to revive Sakura, Yu frowned.

Some people in this world may not have much physical strength, but their destructive power is astonishing... Sakura is a typical example of this.

It's not that Sakura is bad, but she's really a headache!

Yu asked, "Sasuke, why did you suddenly decide to revive her?"

Sasuke said, "After this experience, I realized one thing: everyone makes mistakes and has the right to grow. Sakura is still too young, and there is a colorful life waiting for her. Maybe I'm being a bit sentimental... but for you, Shadow, it's just a small favor."

Yes, Sakura's body is in Orochimaru's laboratory, and her soul is in Madara's Hell Path statue. Reviving her would be a piece of cake.

It's rare to see someone as aloof as Sasuke wanting to do something for someone.

"Fine." Yu sighed softly and said seriously, "Let's make this clear first, Sasuke... I'll only help you this once. If Sakura loses her life again because of her own actions, don't come looking for me to revive her!"

"And... if Sakura Haruno causes any more trouble, I'll hold you responsible! It might even affect your career as Hokage, who knows? Can you take that responsibility?"

Sasuke said seriously, "Ah... her motive for doing those things was nothing more than her feelings for me! I will take responsibility for keeping her in check!"

"Alright... come with me!"

Yu arrived at Orochimaru's laboratory, but Orochimaru was not there.

A note was tucked onto the door to the room where Sakura's body was placed: "Yu-kun, the door is unlocked. Take Sakura's body yourself. Anko and I are going to study love..."

"Did Orochimaru expect me to come?" Yu shook his head and smiled, then pushed the door open.

Sakura's body was naked and soaked in a green solution; her waist had obviously been stitched up.

“…” Yu stood in front of the container, his brows furrowed: “You got off easy this time.”

call out!

Feathered hands pierced through the glass of the container, grabbed Sakura's hair, pulled her out, and placed her on the ground.

"..." Sasuke walked forward silently, picked up Sakura's body, and followed behind Yu.

"Next, where do we go?" Sasuke had a vague guess in his mind, but he still wanted to confirm it.

Yu casually said, "Look for Madara. Sakura's soul is with Madara."

Sasuke's hand trembled, and Sakura's body almost fell to the ground.

Tianyu Pavilion, Building B, Room 101.

Boom boom boom!

Yu knocked on the door.

Creak! After a while, the door opened, and Ban, wearing polka-dot pajamas, stood in the entryway: "What, it's you? Weren't we just chatting?"

"Ah, it's like this..." Yu briefly explained the situation.

Ban glanced behind Yu.

"..." Sasuke didn't dare to meet his gaze and lowered his head.

"Okay, wait for me." Madara closed the door and returned to his room.

"It's so late, are you still going out?" In the bathroom, Zhili lay in the warm water, her long purple wavy hair spread out on the surface of the water, wet... Splash! A slender leg emerged from the water, splashing and wiping itself.

"Ah, I'll be right back." Ban pulled a black robe from the clothes rack, draped it over his shoulders, and casually asked, "By the way, is the water temperature comfortable?"

"..." After a moment of silence in the bathroom, Jiri's voice came through: "A body resurrected through Edo Tensei cannot sense temperature differences..."

"That's true." Madara muttered to himself as he walked outside, thinking: I need to think of a way to revive Chizuru. Kabuto's Edo Tensei of her life essence is the last one left, so having Orochimaru make another body won't work, and I don't want to do that either.

So the remaining method is Reincarnation... But Reincarnation comes at the cost of life. Right, when the Otsutsuki come, we can just manipulate them to use Reincarnation, it's not far off anyway.

In the dead of night, three Uchiha men arrived at an open space.

Noisy!

Madara's right eye transformed into the Rinnegan.

Hell Realm!

raging!

Purple flames erupted behind him... transforming into the image of Yama, the King of Hell!

"The little girl's soul is in here, no need for all that trouble, just give it to me..." Madara glanced at Sasuke: "Kid, give me that girl's body!"

"Huh??" Sasuke stood there, not quite understanding.

"Hmph." Madara raised his hand and used gravity to pull Sakura's corpse in, then threw it into the statue of Yama.

Whew, whistle, whistle, whistle!

The Yama statue chewed on the statue, and when it opened again, Sakura, dressed in pink with pink hair, walked out looking bewildered: "Huh, this is strange... This feeling, I've been resurrected?"

Sasuke froze in shock: "This...this is the power of the Rinnegan!"

"Sa...Sasuke-kun!?" Sakura exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Sasuke, "Was it...Sasuke-kun who revived me?!"

She rushed forward to hug Sasuke.

Snapped!

Sasuke reached out and pushed Sakura's hand aside.

“Sasuke…kun?” Sakura withdrew her hand, her eyes trembling.

Sasuke said coldly, "Listen carefully, Sakura, it wasn't me who revived you, it was the two people behind you!"

"Huh?" Sakura turned around.

"Hehehe..." Ban's laughter was sinister, his gaze sinister.
