Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Yes, White Zetsu are artificial humans, devoid of human morality, just like blank sheets of paper that can be painted with various colors.

When they were with Madara, White Zetsu was an accomplice to the Infinite Tsukuyomi, but when they were with Lin Yu, they were gardeners who taught and nurtured people.

"I agree." Number 1 nodded, then said seriously, "By the way, do you remember when our children clashed with those bastards from Amegakure in the training ground?"

"I remember, so what?"

"Back then, Yu said he wanted to talk to those children, but he left the village before they even had a chance to talk. It's been more than half a year, and those children are still thinking about it, feeling uneasy, always thinking that Lord Shadow is angry..."

It turns out that Lin Yu's departure from the village was a secret known only to a very small number of high-ranking members of the Hidden Shadow Village and the White Zetsu; the children of the Ninja Academy and the common people were completely unaware of it.

During this time, Ah Fei disguised himself as Shadow and showed his face a few times, but...

"Is that so? Well, I'll talk to them about it later."

"Don't try to instill strange ideas in people again. Do you know there are already strange rumors circulating in the village that Yu likes to eat feces..."

call out!

A spacetime vortex appeared behind them, and Lin Yu and Orochimaru stepped out.

"Long time no see, Fei, Number 1," Lin Yu greeted.

"Oh~ you're back!" Number 1 exclaimed excitedly.

Afei threw away the wooden stick in his hand, stood up, and scrutinized Lin Yu with his unfathomable pupils: "You look different..."

It's definitely different now, in every place.

Lin Yu looked at the poop drawings all around A Fei's feet, shook his head and laughed, "You're still the same, haven't changed at all..."

Then, the two of them stepped forward and embraced each other.

Ah Fei said, "Welcome home."

Lin Yu said, "Ah."

Ah Fei is Lin Yu's best friend, and that will never change.

"Orochimaru, you should go back and rest first," Lin Yu said to Orochimaru behind him.

"Ah~ that's exactly what I was thinking, Yu-kun..." Orochimaru hadn't slept much lately. Although he had learned Sage Mode and was now a completely different person, he still couldn't keep up with not sleeping for so long.

“Then I’ll go and guide the children in their cultivation first,” said Number 1.

"Go ahead," Lin Yu nodded.

A villa in Shadow Village is where Nadeshiko Saori, a frequent guest, stays.

But it has been a month since anyone came in or went out.

"Huff, ha, huff, ah... I feel such pain in my chest, am I... am I going to die?"

On the bed, Nadeshiko Saori was drenched in sweat and breathing heavily.

"Lady Saori! We're begging you, please go to the hospital!" At Saori's bedside, the female ninja who served her personally pleaded in a dogeza posture.

"No, no... It's worse than being treated by that woman in this state, ah!!!" As she spoke, Nadeshiko Saori spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Lady Saori!!" The female ninjas turned pale with fright and ran forward.

"Where has that wretched shadow gone off to?! And our Lady Saori is so worried about him!" the female ninja cried out in grief and indignation.

It turned out that during the six months that Lin Yu had been gone, Nadeshiko Saori's longing and love for him had grown stronger. However, the biggest taboo in cultivating the forbidden technique of Nadeshiko Village, the "Six Desires Confusion Technique," was that the six senses must be calmed. If any one of the six senses was not calmed, the corresponding desire would become chaotic...

After slightly catching her erratic breathing, Saori said weakly, "You, you all should leave... I, I want to be alone for a while."

Helpless, the female ninjas had no choice but to retreat.

Saori struggled to sit up, drew the curtains, took off her sweat-soaked clothes, and stared unsteadily at the pillow beside her, hugging it to her chest...

For the past month, Saori has been using this method to alleviate her longing...

In the director's office of the Dark Hidden Village Hospital.

"It's been more than half a year. I wonder how Yu is doing outside. Is he eating well?" Maoyue Xiyang held a teacup in both hands, her purple eyes gazing affectionately at the photo of her and Lin Yu on the table.

A woman pushed open the door and entered, taking off her gloves, head covering, and mask, removing her sterile gown, revealing her neat short hair and a simple gray dress, and washing her hands in a copper basin.

The setting sun turned its gaze and asked, "Miss Shizune, is the surgery over?"

Jingyin said, "Yes, I'm fine now."

Xi Yang said, "I'm really sorry to trouble you. This patient's surgery would be risky with my medical ninjutsu."

Shizune said, "No need. Whether in Hidden Village or Hidden Leaf Village, saving lives is the duty of a medical ninja. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

The setting sun nodded and said, "Yes, please go and rest quickly."

After Jingyin left the room, Xiyang disposed of the disposable medical instruments and disinfected and put away the non-disposable ones. She drew back the curtains, gazed at the brilliant sunset, and said sadly, "Another day without Yu. Even the most beautiful scenery feels tasteless..."

Just then, a pair of hands reached out from behind and gently covered the sunset's eyes.

"Xiyan, is that you? Are you playing a prank on your sister again?" Xiyang said.

"Oh? Xiyan, do I often play pranks on you like this now?" A voice with a hint of surprise sounded from behind.

The setting sun froze for a moment; her shoulders trembled, and her lips quivered…

"Oh dear, why are you crying, darling..." Lin Yu said softly, feeling the warmth in his palm, and released his hand.

The setting sun suddenly turned around and hugged Lin Yu tightly: "Waaaaah, you big bad guy, you came back without saying a word, you just appeared behind me without making a sound, did you want to see me make a fool of myself!"

"There's nothing shameful about it; it's quite charming." Lin Yu gently stroked the soft strands of hair bathed in the setting sun and said softly, "Is the scenery pleasant tonight?"

"You bad guy, what do you think..." the setting sun said coquettishly, her eyes glazed over, a radiant blush spreading across her face: "Absence makes the heart grow fonder..."

"Huh? Were we ever married?"

"You lured them away halfway and messed up their world, and you still want to renege on your debt? No way!"

Chapter 132 Absence Makes the Heart Blossom! (3/5)

Late at night, at Tianyu Pavilion, Xiyan returned after finishing her cultivation. She walked down the long corridor and stopped at the door of her room.

"I'm back..."

"Yu, yes, pick me up, just like that..."

Just as I was about to push the door open, I suddenly heard a noise from inside.

Xi Yan paused her outstretched hand, then slowly withdrew it, murmuring softly, "Oh dear, brother-in-law is back. From today onwards, I can't sleep with my sister anymore..."

She turned and walked towards her room, her small figure carrying a hint of loneliness.

In the latter half of the night, Yu and Xiyang, having just ended their brief separation, embraced tightly in bed, their bodies pressed together without any obstruction.

The setting sun still carried the lingering red glow of the sunset.

"You won't be away for so long again, will you?" The setting sun's voice carried a hint of resentment.

"Well, not for a while," Lin Yu said.

"I also want to become stronger, so that you can take me with you when you go out in the future... I don't want to be separated from you," said the setting sun.

"Then let's start that long-term project after Orochimaru wakes up this time," Lin Yu said. The long-term project refers to the transplantation of Mito's cells.

"Hmm, if I don't get stronger soon, I'm afraid that Xiyan will catch up with me..." Xiyang murmured.

"Oh? Yugao... has already reached near-Jonin strength?" Lin Yu was slightly surprised.

“Yes, ever since she got the Sharingan and learned Chidori, she learns any technique very quickly. She can learn the A-rank forbidden techniques on the scroll in just one day. Moreover, in the past six months, her chakra has been increasing day by day. She can use Chidori multiple times in a row without even panting…” Xiyang said.

"Hmm, next time I guide her in her cultivation, I'll test how far she's come," Lin Yu said.

"But..." Xi Yang hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

"Just what?"

"It's nothing, I guess I'm just overthinking it."

"Then, go to sleep."

"Mmm." Xi Yang turned off the bedside lamp, then closed her eyes and rested her head on Lin Yu's arm.

In the dead of night, she had a nightmare: Xi Yan was holding a knife with the back of it facing her, and at her feet was Lin Yu's bloody corpse.

As the setting sun cast its astonishment, Yugao slowly turned around, her face still stained with blood, her eyes devoid of their luster, adorned with a sickly smile, and said in a carefree tone, "Hey, hey, sister, I've already killed brother-in-law, so now we can go back to Konoha together..."

"Aaaaaah!!!" A scream startled the setting sun awake, and it began to breathe heavily.

"Did you have a nightmare?" Lin Yu got up and turned on the desk lamp.

Xi Yang was taken aback. Seeing Lin Yu standing safely beside her, she suddenly hugged him tightly: "Yu, how about you stop guiding Xi Yan's cultivation? She's strong enough already, strong enough to protect herself!"

"What's wrong?" Lin Yu gently patted Xi Yang's sweaty back.

“I’m just… scared. These days, every time I think about the day she first arrived in Shadow Village, I feel scared. I wonder, is she… is she…” Sunset looked completely lost.

"Sunset, look into my eyes," Lin Yu whispered.

The setting sun met Lin Yu's pupils, the three tomoe radiating a soft light, not to cast an illusion, but to soothe his emotions.

The panic and worry in the setting sun's eyes gradually faded.

"Alright, alright, stop overthinking and go to sleep," Lin Yu said softly.

"Mmm." Xiyang lay down again, nestled against Lin Yu's chest, and soon her breathing became even.

Lin Yu also lay down, staring at the ceiling, his gaze deep yet calm.

The following day, Lin Yu arrived at the Ninja Academy to fulfill the promise he had kept for more than half a year.

Before Lin Yu, Yamashiro Ryufu, Mir, and Mirojin knelt on one knee. Unlike before, they had put on headbands and become Genin of the Hidden Shadow Village.

At this moment, Yamashiro Ryuufu said, "Lord Shadow, I was the one who struck first in the previous incident. It has nothing to do with anyone else. Please punish only me!"

Mirozin also said, "Lord Shadow, it was I who instigated the others to attack, so I am equally guilty!"

At this moment, Yumir said, "Lord Shadow, it was Yumir who failed to dissuade them. Yumir is also at fault. Please punish Yumir as well..."

"Lord Shadow, if you must punish someone, punish us all too!!" A deafening shout came from downstairs.

"Hey, stop messing around." Then came Bai Jue's somewhat helpless voice.

Lin Yu looked down from the window and saw the children of Dark Hidden Village gathered downstairs.
