Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

With life and death at stake, Yi Shi took a gamble. He felt that as Yu Bi Di Er's disciple, Long Shi should inherit that benevolence... Since he knew this, he wouldn't sit idly by and do nothing about these two.

Fortunately, once he made the right judgment, he won the bet.

But the fear that Longshi instilled in him today was deeply ingrained in his bones, and would accompany him for many years to come…

Time flies, 580 years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Using the clues he collected, Long Shi deciphered the secret of the stone tablet.

It turns out that the stone tablet contained more than just the last words of the Toad Immortal Ancestor.

Before their deaths, the Slug Immortal Ancestor and the White Snake Immortal Ancestor also recorded their respective unique methods on this!

Inspired by the alchemy method of Ryuchi Cave, Ryushiki created the 'Dan Release Technique' which can prolong the lifespan of the Otsutsuki clan and increase their chakra. Although the effect of the pill is limited compared to the chakra fruit, it still provides some solace to those clansmen who are destined not to obtain the fruit!

Inspired by the prayer method of Shikkotsu Forest, Ryushiki created the 'Divine Revelation Method' to collect incense offerings from the lower realms for the Otsutsuki clan. Although this method is inhumane, it at least gives the clan members a reason not to indiscriminately kill innocent beings in the lower realms. As long as they live, there is hope!

Dragon has always adhered to his own principles, protecting the humans of the lower realm in his own unique way, while also striving for the interests of his people...

As for the content of the Toad Immortal Ancestor's dying prophecy, it was a very simple yet abstract sentence.

—'When heaven and earth unite, the universe is reversed.'

Long pondered the deeper meaning of this sentence, but ultimately had no clue.

Inspired by the concept of the unity of heaven and earth, he created a reincarnation method called 'Wedge' that uses people on earth as tools to restart himself. This groundbreaking innovation will mean that the Otsutsuki clan will break through the lifespan limit of 3000 years!

The only thing that can restrain the Otsutsuki clan is the 9000-year cycle of time!

[Note: To reiterate, age rings are different from lifespan. The normal lifespan of an Otsutsuki is 3000 years, while age rings are 9000 years. Ideally, an Otsutsuki member could live to 9000 years old by using the Karma Reincarnation twice.]

However, Ryushiki invented the 'Karma', which effectively tripled the actual lifespan of the Otsutsuki clan, thus greatly alleviating the clan's survival pressure. But since it is not true immortality, it cannot fundamentally eliminate the clan's need for chakra fruits!

Even so... it's still a huge breakthrough!

"Teacher, I did it! I finally did it!"

Just as Long Shi was overjoyed and wanted to share this joy with his mentor, Yuhi Di'er, he heard a shocking piece of bad news!

—On the island of Onokiro, Utakata, and the siblings Ubichi and Subichi joined forces to launch a rebellion!

Chapter 920 The Dragon's Past, The Dragon's Regret

Ubiji and Subichi, siblings, launched a rebellion together... Upon receiving the news, Ryushiki, anxious and worried, immediately tried to contact his teacher. After failing, he rushed to Onokiji Island!

"Why, why...why would such a gentle and composed teacher do something as radical as rebellion?"

Along the way, Long Shi pondered deeply and eventually managed to grasp some clues.

Seven hundred years ago, when Ubiquitous was holding his own little hand and passing by a desolate place called Awagihara, he casually said a few words.

"Extremes beget their opposites; desires are boundless. If left unchecked, they will inevitably lead to disastrous consequences. The reality is that even if all the land were plundered, it would only create a small group of immortal gods, exchanging the destruction of billions for the revelry of a tiny minority. Don't you think living in such a world is a nightmare?"

"So... seven hundred years from now, before my time comes, I will do something. I don't know how much impact this will have on this morbid race, but at least, it's the only thing I can do..."

Hey!

The dragon landed on the ruins of Takachiho Palace!

A deafening roar echoed from the other side, fiery clouds pierced the sky, and a bloody storm lashed against Long Shi's handsome face. With a hint of belated regret, Long Shi clenched his fists.

"So...that's how it is, teacher."

He finally understood the deeper meaning of Ubiji's words. It turned out that his teacher wanted to use a bloody battle at the end of his life to cry out for the lower-world humans who had become victims of the Chakra Fruit!

"But now that things have come to this, there's no need for this... I must persuade the teacher to stop!"

The dragon-like creature headed towards the Blood Plains of Yutuo.

Boom! Boom!

Two figures were thrown into the ground in a sorry state, barely alive.

Guoshang, Zhaodan, and Longshi served as experts from the main family of Princess Huiyue. Their strength had improved by one rank compared to five hundred years ago, placing them at the thirtieth and thirty-first positions, respectively. Apart from the original twenty-eight members of the main family, their strength was second only to Longshi and another genius, Shenshi.

Zhao Dan breathed his last.

The left half of Guoshang's head was missing, exposing a horrific wound with a grotesque bone fragment protruding from it. Yet, he stubbornly remained alive, using his last remaining Rinnegan to glance at the figure approaching from behind: "Dragon Style, huh..."

"..." Ryushiki walked up to her, looked at Shiro's corpse, and thought: Shiro had an Vajra body with 80% of its power, was a double shikigami of Moga Kakeru and Takemikazuchi, and was also the Jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails, yet he was still no match for his teacher?

"Huff, huff, huff..." Guoshang said, panting heavily, "It's fortunate you came, otherwise... no one would have been able to retrieve the Ten-Tails from Zhaodan's body. It's an important asset of the clan, and we can't let it be lost because of his death..."

"Guoshang, is this why you didn't use Izanagi until the very end? I understand, leave it to me."

Longshi took out a red container.

The last remaining Rinnegan of the nation's mourning released its final light!

—Yumu Tuo Liu!

call out!

Time reversed, and Zhao Dan temporarily escaped the state of death!

Guo Shang gritted his teeth: "Reclaim the ten tails from my body!"

Dragon Style completed the task quickly.

Zhao Dan breathed his last again, but his expression was much more relieved.

The Rinnegan of the Nation's Mourning vanished, its tomoe disappearing, its pupils turning desolate. He weakly murmured, "Of the eleven members of our clan who participated in the battle, all but me have perished. I am about to die too..."

“Those two have special identities, and even the original main family has chosen to avoid them. If there is anyone else who can stop them, it is only you, Long Shi, the strongest genius of the clan…”

After saying this, Guo Shang breathed his last, and his body, along with his ashes, disintegrated into powder.

"teacher……"

Long Shi looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure walking out of the blood mist ahead and let out a heart-wrenching call.

He said with a complicated expression, "You must have already envisioned this meeting between us, teacher and student, from the very beginning."

A helpless smile appeared on Yubiji's tired face: "As expected, someone as intelligent as you has already realized the deeper meaning behind what your teacher did."

Long Shi said, "Teacher, I regret it so much. I regret not deciphering the contents of that stone tablet sooner. If I had, things might not have turned out this way..."

Yubidi was slightly surprised: "Oh? You've already deciphered the prophecy of the Toad Ancestor..."

Long Shi said, "Heaven and earth unite, and the universe is reversed. I still don't understand the true meaning of these words... However, inspired by this, I invented the method of reincarnation of the wedge!"

"Through the wedge, we can extend our lives. 3000 years is no longer our limit. Even if there is a limit based on age, we can live for 9000 years! 9000 years! The recorded history of an entire race is no more than that!"

Seeing Ubiquitous's shocked expression, Ryushiki urgently advised, "So, stop, teacher. There's absolutely no need to do this anymore. You'll have more time than before to do more meaningful things!"

Ubichi shook her head regretfully: "It's too late..."

"No! It's not too late!" Long Shi said, "It's not too late now. I'll immediately tell my teacher about the reincarnation method of the wedge. No, I'll go to the lower realm right away and bring the 'vessel' suitable for my teacher's reincarnation to him!"

“No need,” Ubiquitous said firmly.

Long Shi asked in astonishment, "Could it be... that you are unwilling to gain new life by harming humans? Why, why are you so persistent!"

Ubiquitous said indifferently, "When my teacher was young, he also killed people, innocent humans, so he really doesn't care about the lives of one or two humans..."

Long Shi asked, puzzled, "Then why is that?"

Ubi-Diri gazed at the silhouette emerging from the blood-red sky and smiled, "The way to continue oneself is not necessarily through immortality or eternal life. Isn't passing on and entrusting one's skills and will to others another form of living?"

“…” Long Shi remained silent.

Ubidear gazed at the dragon: "This invention of the wedge will surely bring you unparalleled glory. So, teacher, why don't you add another stroke to your list of achievements... the heads of us two traitors of our race?"

Long Shi was stunned and stood there, speechless: "That kind of thing... I can't do it!"

Uhiddle said, "Master knows that a hundred years ago, your clan went so far as to test you with a Chakra Fruit. Fundamentally, they still don't trust you. If you quell this turmoil, similar things shouldn't happen again..."

Long Shi trembled all over: "Is it really necessary...?"

Ubiquitous said, "Make your move, Ryuu-shiki. To achieve your ideal, this is a step you must take..."

Click!

With a dragon-style attack, he punched Ubiquiti's chest, the impact generating a strong golden aura.

Ubidi said, "Five hundred years, a Vajra body with nine-tenths of its power, almost on par with your teacher. You are indeed a peerless genius, but such a punch cannot kill your teacher..."

boom!

A powerful aura emanated from the Uhidani chakra meridian system, causing the Ryuu style to rebound.

Ubiquitous said, "Ryu-shiki, let your teacher see your true skills!"

Dragon Style gritted his teeth and stood up, his arms surging, his chakra points opening up all over his body. Golden chakra transformed into dragons, coiling around his arms and emitting bursts of dragon roars.

This is the Dragon Style's self-created physical technique—'Dragon Abyss Palm'!

Before the palm was even extended, the void already showed signs of shattering!

Yu Bidi exclaimed in awe: "Is this a martial art you created yourself? The perfect fusion of hard and soft fists is truly remarkable. No wonder you are the son of Chuanlong. If this martial art continues to be perfected, it may one day rival the Vajra Body and Boundless Immortal Techniques..."

Dragon Style's thoughts stirred.

—A clear and tranquil mind!

call out!

In the realm of the mind, the teacher and student face each other.

Long Shi: "Master, your disciple wishes to retain your souls!"

Ubiquitous: "How do we intercept them? Through the Hell Path? That probably won't work~."

Long Shi said, "It's not the Hell Path. I invented the treasure 'Soul Suppressing Tower' to prevent the souls trapped inside from entering the Netherworld, so they won't fall into the hands of my clan's past enemy, 'Kushaha Yutanpo.' But unfortunately, with the power of you, Master and Aunt, the Soul Suppressing Tower can only accommodate one of you!"

At this time, Ubi-diri knew very little about the underworld. The unknown meant fear and uncertainty. He himself was fine, but he couldn't bear to let his loved ones suffer unknown risks together.

Uhiji made his choice: "Keep your aunt's soul..."

Long Shi was heartbroken: "If this is the teacher's choice..."

--boom!!!!!

The golden dragon shines brightly in the sun, while the heavens and earth weep in despair…

"Awoooooo...!!" Tears welled up in Long Shi's eyes as he unleashed a torrent of palm force.
