Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

[The Tale of the Primordial Ancestor, End. Next volume: Breaking Through Illusions of Life and Death]

Chapter 1180 Breaking Through Illusions of Life and Death, the Soul Returns Home

In the Kingdom of Jianyue, at the Feathered Imperial City beneath the Great Waterfall, Yu, facing imminent calamity, summons his ninjas to give instructions for his final affairs.

"They're all here, a total of one hundred and five Chakra Fruits. Whether I break through my tribulation or not, you can all use these fruits to step into the realm of the Primordial God,"

"Remember, in the formless eon, hold your mind like the earth, like water, fire, and wind, without duality or distinction, ultimately like empty space, without any eon. All conditioned phenomena are like dew or lightning, neither can be called conditioned nor unconditioned, only then can you attain the unconditioned eon..."

Everyone listened attentively and took note.

The atmosphere was oppressive and heavy. Yu Zao explained the cause and effect, including his life-or-death ordeal. Unlike King Chuigen and Youtan Polu, he would return to his original world without any power. There was no precedent to refer to. If this was not pessimistic, then...

Over the past three days, Yu has thought a lot. Even if the King of Chuigen hadn't stirred things up, he would have had to face it sooner or later, so he has come to terms with it.

What's meant to come will come, and there's no escaping it; there's no point in running away, so just face it!

His gaze swept over the silent ninja, and Yu said calmly, "I have weathered countless storms and narrowly escaped death in the past. Now, only this final leap remains. To be honest, I am not confident about this leap either, so it is very likely that this will be the last time I speak to you all like this..."

Everyone lowered their heads in sorrow, and many even burst into tears.

"Waaaaah..." Yu and Wansheng's daughter, Uchiha Hana, cried with tears streaming down her face.

"Don't cry, it will make Father sad if he sees you, sob..." Yu and Yugao's daughter, Uchiha Yue, wanted to comfort her younger sister, Xiaohua, but her own eyes also reddened.

"Hehehe, hehehehe, Dad has already turned into someone else's shape..." Tornado held the back of her head and laughed indifferently.

Xue'er's gaze was calm and gentle; she had long been prepared for something.

"I will live when it is time to live, and I will die when it is time to die. Father, I will follow you wherever you go..."

Taking in everyone's expressions, Yu smiled and said, "Alright, it's not necessarily a matter of life and death. I feel embarrassed to come back when you're all so sentimental..."

Although Yu used a joyful scene to highlight the sorrow, the heavy atmosphere was still somewhat alleviated.

Madara said, "Ah, you'd better come back quickly, otherwise, those Otsutsuki brats might all become my Shinzo ghosts..."

Naruto said, "Uncle Shadow, no, Aunt Shadow, what's a life-or-death ordeal? Just like always, let's just do it! You have the protagonist's halo anyway!"

Sasuke said, "What protagonist halo! Don't use this dismissive label to negate the Shadow's efforts over the years!"

What a noisy yet adorable bunch of rascals! Even if it's just to keep this routine going, I have to make this leap!

Ten minutes before the calamity was about to begin, everyone left Jianyu Imperial City to avoid being caught up in the unpredictable calamity. The billions of gods scattered around the world prayed for Yu with utmost devotion!

Beneath the waterfall, Yu sat cross-legged, eyes closed, quietly awaiting his fate. Ah. He was not alone.

"Long Shi, this may be our final farewell. If you have anything to say, say it now. I'll listen to anything, good or bad. Don't hold back."

"I'm thinking about something."

Dragon's answer, however, was unusually serious.

Yu couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is it?"

Ryushi: "How did this world come into being?"

Yu: "Didn't we already say that it was created by a manga artist named Masashi Kishimoto?"

Long Shi: "I know, but have you ever thought about why a cartoonist's work could create a real world? I've also drawn pictures, but why didn't my drawings create a real world?"

"Therefore, I believe that it did not happen out of nowhere; there must have been some force that brought it all together."

"So, I... had a guess."

Yu: "A guess? What kind of guess?"

Long Shi asked, "The birth of this world is based on the same principle as the birth of the Great God of the Nation. It is a collection of the power of faith, also known as incense offerings. I ask you, in your world, does this work called 'Naruto' have many fanatical fans?"

Yu: "Not many, probably only tens of millions."

Dragon Style: "Hmm... that's it. The faith of tens of millions of people who love this work has become the Force that gave birth to this world! What do you think? Think about it, it can only be like this!"

Yu thought about it seriously, and indeed, there really wasn't another reliable answer besides that.

"It's truly admirable that you still have the mind to ponder such a significant issue at this crucial juncture."

Dragon Style: "Do you think I want to? I don't want to die! I still want to sleep with Nana!"

"You wish..."

and many more! !

Is this a matter of life and death?

Yu asked, "Is the question you were just thinking about related to the 'life-or-death tribulation' I'm about to face?"

Long Shi: "Of course there's a connection, but I haven't finished asking my questions yet..."

Yu: "Go ahead and ask."

Dragon Style: "What do you think caused you to cross the 'Force'?"

After careful consideration, Yu said uncertainly, "Obsession...?"

Dragon Style: "There are plenty of people with obsessions, why is it just you? Ignore yourself and start from a higher level of thought."

Are you rejected by your original world, or are you needed by it?

Yu: "What does this have to do with the tribulation of life and death?"

Long Shi: "It's a huge deal. If you're not accepted by your original world, your original world will kill you, which is obviously not the case. But if you are needed by this world, your life-or-death ordeal will surely have a way back..."

!!!

Yu's expression suddenly changed: "Go on."

"You may return to your original world without any power, but... you must have some kind of connection with this world. Finding that connection is the key to your return!"

"And... this might just be my guess. Since this world was created by faith, then 'faith' might be the key that connects the two worlds."

"You mean... the divine power channel of my Great God won't be completely closed???"

After a long silence, Long Shi slowly said, "Whether or not it will be shut down probably depends on you..."

Yu: "Myself?"

Long Shi: "I ask you, Father-in-law, do you have faith in yourself? Even if you return to the world you fear and become an ordinary person with no strength to even kill a chicken, do you... still believe you are the supreme god of the Great Nation?"

Yu: "I..."

Long Shi: "It is said that the power of faith is the power of belief in others, but there is no difference between people and ourselves. Perhaps you need to rediscover yourself..."

Long Shi's words gradually faded from his mind. The tribulation of life and death had been triggered, and Yu in the Naruto world was heading towards annihilation. His soul traveled through time and space and returned to the real world...

Chapter 1181 Breaking Through Illusions of Life and Death, Obito in the Present World

When Yu opened her eyes, a dark ceiling came into view, and the ceiling fan swayed, making a creaking sound.

The sudden shift to a realistic style made Yu extremely uncomfortable, and feelings of disgust welled up within him. He tried to sit up from the bed despite his discomfort, but found that his lower limbs wouldn't obey him. Hesitantly, he lifted the blanket and was stunned to find that both of his trouser legs were completely bare!

Where are my legs...?

Is this a life-or-death ordeal? Am I dreaming?

Yu subconsciously touched her face, only to find a horrifying scar!

He wanted to see himself in the mirror, but there wasn't a single mirror in this shabby rented room.

Clinging to the last glimmer of hope, Yu pulled open his shirt at the shoulder, and the familiar birthmark sent his heart plummeting into an ice cave!

It's me... it's Lin Yu! In reality, I've become a disfigured cripple!

What exactly did Obito do during the time he took over my body?

It turns out that after Obito and Yu were swapped, he refused to accept reality. He talked nonsense all day long, behaved bizarrely, and even had paranoia and attacked others. He was arrested for endangering public safety. During his detention, he was diagnosed with severe schizophrenia and sent to a mental hospital!

After spending three years in a mental hospital, he finally found a chance to escape, but was hit by a speeding truck on the road. Although he survived after being rescued, he lost both legs and became paralyzed on one side of his body!

Obito was depressed for a while, but with amazing perseverance, he underwent rehabilitation, and in less than half a year, he was miraculously able to walk with the help of crutches.

After that, Obito seemed to adapt to the rules of survival in this world, becoming taciturn and distrustful of everyone. He lived a life isolated from society, receiving a monthly allowance from his parents' car accident compensation, who were not related to him by blood.

Yu lay motionless on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. Reality was even more cruel and difficult than he had imagined.

He now has to face a reality that he has never dared to confront before.

He took away Obito's life.

Even though Obito's life was a tragedy in itself, the ending of that tragedy was finding his lost self and walking towards death in a spectacular way!

Instead of living a life of aimless ignorance as a cripple in this world.

What exactly did Obito experience in this world?

This is what Yu desperately wants to know right now!

hum!hum!

The sudden vibration of her phone interrupted Yu's thoughts!

The phone was placed on a table five meters away from the bed.

Yu glanced at the cane resting beside the bed.

When Yu was struck by the divine technique 'Ayahashi', he was so weakened that he could only get out of bed with the help of a cane.

So he skillfully placed his crutch under his armpits and limped toward the table.

When I got to the table, the phone had stopped vibrating. On the cracked old-fashioned smartphone, the missed call was from a number saved as 'Virtual Lin'.

Illusory...Lin? What does that mean?

Just as Yu was wondering what was going on, her phone vibrated again!

Still an illusory Lin!

After hesitating for a moment, Yu decided to answer the call.

"Hey……?"

"Where are you???" A light, urgent young female voice rang out.

Yu was taken aback and tentatively asked, "Where I am? What's wrong?"
