Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Madara paused for a moment, then quickly recovered and smiled, "Hashirama, you're not a kid anymore. Stop playing these childish games. Come out... we're talking about serious business."

The only response to the spots was a few snowflakes hitting her face.

Madara's smile gradually cooled, and his brows furrowed: "Hashirama, come out right now... or I'll get angry!"

There was still no response. Ban began to wander around the courtyard. He kicked over the stone table, leaving messy footprints in the snow.

Madara panicked: "Hashirama!! Where are you!! Come out!!"

Madara erupted in fury: "Hashirama, get out here!!"

A terrible thought surged into Ban's mind, and he abruptly stopped in his tracks.

'Is the King of Hell in the underworld really so easy to talk to?'

"Hashirama, Hashirama..." Madara lowered his head, his fists clenched tightly.

Drip! Blood dripped from the gaps in the black glove fabric, staining the snow red.

He suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot and bulging: "Aaaaaah!!! Hashirama!!!!!!!!!!!!"

boom!

With a roar of ice and snow, Madara, whose left eye was transplanted from Yu Shiki, activated the 'Three Tomoe' with a whoosh!

The main city of the Konoha Ninja Affiliated State is Ye Gu City.

Boom!

The cell door opened.

"Deidara, we'll let you go this time for the sake of the Feather Emperor. But if you fall into our hands again, things won't be so easy!"

The person in charge of Konoha unlocked Deidara's handcuffs and shackles.

"Shh~" Deidara whistled, holding the back of his head, as he walked out of the prison gate. Seeing Yu standing in the snow, he said nonchalantly, "Let me tell you first, you can punish me, but there's no way you'll make me admit my mistakes~ Rather, those vulgar guys from Konoha are lucky enough to be witnesses to my new art; that's a blessing they earned in their past lives..."

Just then, Deidara tripped over a stone in the snow and fell flat on his face!

He cursed, "Ouch!! Is Konoha so poor they can't even afford to repair the roads?! I might as well just blow them up!!"

Behind Yu, Kurotsuchi covered her face in shame: "This is so embarrassing..."

Deidara brushed the snow off his body and stood up.

Yu stepped forward: "Let's go, I'll take you two to your 'new home'."

Deidara frowned slightly: "New home, are you trying to exile me? There's no need to take Kurotsuchi with you. I'll take responsibility for my own actions!"

Upon hearing this, Kurotsuchi blushed slightly: "Deidara-nii..."

"You have no choice."

Whoosh! Yu placed his hands on Kurotsuchi and Deidara's shoulders, and the three of them disappeared into the Kamui vortex.

Whoosh! A vortex appeared, and Yu, carrying Deidara and Kurotsuchi, arrived at the foot of a mine on the border of the Ninja Kingdom.

Clang! Clang! A group of people were swinging pickaxes, digging hard at the hard rocks.

Deidara asked, "What are they doing?"

Yu replied, "Mining."

Judging from their movements, they were clearly not ninjas, but ordinary people.

Deidara asked in confusion, "Doesn't the Ninja Country have no laborers?"

Yu explained, "They were originally ordinary residents of the Ninja Kingdom, enjoying preferential treatment. Because of their crimes, they were exiled here to mine, but they will still be provided with basic food, lodging, and living necessities..."

Deidara said nonchalantly, "So, you're going to punish me by making me do hard labor?"

“No.” Yu shook his head, glancing at Deidara out of the corner of his eye: “From today onwards, you are the owner of this mine…”

"Huh?" Deidara was shocked. "Hey, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

“I’m serious.” Yu withdrew his gaze: “You can command the laborers here, or you can personally go into the mines.”

"Hehe~" Deidara chuckled: "This kind of child's play can be solved in a minute with my art!"

He shook his arm and said, "Hurry up and clean this up, then we're done and going home! My artistic life can't be wasted in a place like this!"

"Heh." Yu's lips curled into a smirk, his center of gravity shifted, and *smack!* His palm struck Deidara's abdomen with lightning speed!

"Ugh~~~~!" Deidara clutched his stomach, his face ashen, and took a few steps back.

Hiss! Smoke rose, and a sealing spell appeared on his belly.

Deidara knelt on one knee, saying in anguish, "What are you doing all of a sudden! Wait... where's my chakra!?"

Yu, gripping the Six-Stroke Staff, straightened up: "I sealed them away..."

Deidara asked in a trembling voice, "What about my art?!"

Yu said, "Without chakra, your explosive art is of course out of the question!"

Deidara's face turned deathly pale: "How could this be... Then what's the point of my life? You might as well just kill me!"

Yu said, "Your crime does not warrant death, so why would I kill you? Also, breaking this seal is not difficult."

Deidara gritted his teeth and said, "You really want me to bow down and admit my mistake?! For the sake of art, if it's for the sake of art..."

Yu laughed and said, "Admitting a mistake? It's not as simple as just saying it!"

Deidara shouted, "Then what exactly do you want me to do?"

Yu pointed to the empty space in the distance: "Use the resources you obtain from mining to build a city! When you finish this task... then I will lift the seal on you!"

"Furthermore... a city wall built of stones and a few houses is not a city. It should at least be able to accommodate 5 people and pass the third-class city inspection of the Ninja Kingdom!"

Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu tapped the ground with the six tin staffs in his hand.

—Wood Release: The Four Pillars Technique!

The trees rose from the ground and formed a house, which became Deidara and Kurotsuchi's new home.

"..." Deidara thought to himself: I'll just agree to him for now. After I get rid of this plague, I'll have Kurotsuchi use Earth Release to help me get rid of this troublesome task.

"Oh, right," Yu turned her head and said, "Besides taking care of your daily needs, Heitu will also be in charge of supervising the construction, which means that slacking off won't work..."

Deidara was stunned: "Hey, Kurotsuchi..."

Kurotsuchi circled behind Deidara, her chakra clinging to her slender arms, and locked his shoulders from behind, murmuring, "I'm sorry, Deidara-nii, if you keep acting like this, you'll become a dangerous element sooner or later. So, please reform yourself properly. I'll stay here with you... Let's go back inside first, I'll cook for you, so you can work better when you're full."

"Hey, are you kidding me...?" Deidara let Kurotsuchi drag him along, like a salted fish that had lost its dreams.

"Letting him build a city with his own hands is more valuable than giving him the position of city lord directly... Xiao Di, do a good job, I have high hopes for you."

Yu muttered to herself, glancing to the side out of the corner of her eye: "What happened?"

rustling!

A white Zetsu emerged from the ground, its expression grave: "Hashirama... has vanished..."

"!" Yu's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he sighed inwardly: In the end... it still came.

People say that it's easier to deal with the King of Hell than with the underworld ghosts... That's because there are so many karmic retributions in the human world, how could the King of Hell, the most powerful being in the underworld, do everything personally?

Therefore, people often manage to find a loophole... Orochimaru's trickery of the 'Grim Reaper' is a popular topic of conversation.

But Death... is nothing more than a dog before the gates of Yama.

When Yama, the King of Hell, manifests his power, Fengdu will tremble and the world will be filled with wailing!

"Let's go back, we're probably going to be busy..."

Whoosh! Yu disappeared into the vortex of divine power.

Chapter 649 Three Inches of Human World, Seven Inches of Underworld

With no word from Hashirama, the night in the imperial city was shrouded in shadow.

In the southeast courtyard of Tianyu Pavilion, people were at a loss.

The wind was strong, and Mito, with her pregnant belly, sat at the stone table facing north.

Fearing she would catch a cold, Xiyang found her a cotton coat and wrapped it around her thin body.

Kushina held Mito's hand, comforting her from the side.

Mito laughed and said that she had been through it all and there was nothing to worry about, but anyone could see the bravado in her smile.

The beloved husband has disappeared without a trace, and is very likely to have been taken away by the King of Hell. In the worst case, he may never come back.

Even though she had cultivated her character for many years, she was still a woman, a woman about to give birth...

At the stone table to the south, Ban remained silent, while Zhili quietly stayed by his side.

Open space to the west.

Orochimaru wrote out the formula for the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and in the center of the formula was a living sacrifice specially cultivated using cloning technology.

To reduce the suffering of the sacrificial victims, Orochimaru had already cast a genjutsu beforehand.

Orochimaru carefully placed the pre-preserved life essence of Hashirama and formed hand seals.

—Ninja Art: Impure World Reincarnation!

Whoosh! The wind ruffled the snow on the ground. Unfortunately, the Impure World Reincarnation... failed to activate.

"..." Orochimaru lowered his hand and shook his head.

Everyone tensed up and looked to the east, where Yu had already written the incantation for 'Summoning the Pure Land'. Because it was a forbidden technique in the Six Paths realm, its incantation was more grand and complicated than that of Impure World Reincarnation.

Yu sat cross-legged in mid-air, with six tin staffs floating in front of him, his hands clasped together.

—Six Paths of Paths: Summoning to the Pure Land.

As time passed, that ray of divine light never descended.

Seeing the even more gloomy expressions on everyone's faces, Yu sighed, "How about we try the Reincarnation and Rebirth Technique..."

“It won’t work.” A deep voice rang out, and Madara raised his head and said, “Reincarnation… I’ve already tried it.”

The cold wind howled, the snow fell mercilessly, and the courtyard returned to silence...
