Naruto: The Twin Kamui at the Start

"You!"

Seeing Zong Cheng show no regard for family ties, Su Jianhong was so furious his nose went crooked, and he reached out to slap him across the face.

However, he was getting on in years and couldn't match Zong Cheng's youth; Zong Cheng nimbly dodged the blow and shoved him backward instead.

Seeing his father about to hit the floor, Su Bai moved in a flash, appearing behind Su Jianhong to catch him.

"You bastard!"

Unable to hold back any longer, he kicked Zong Cheng to the ground and barked, "Give the money back to my second aunt!"

"What? You little brat, you dare hit me?" Zong Cheng was so ashamed he turned to rage; after scrambling up from the floor, he tried to brawl with Su Bai!

But he was just an ordinary man—how could he possibly be a match for the "Genin" Su Bai? He was kicked back to the ground, instantly sobering up. Realizing he was outmatched, he began to curse wildly!

"Is this what you learned at school, you little brat? Bullying your own kin?"

"Come on then! If you've got the guts, kill me! You think you're getting money back once it's in my hands? Not a chance!"

Zong Cheng simply lay on the floor and started rolling around, acting like a complete hooligan.

Seeing this shameless display, Su Bai's rage boiled over; he stepped forward and stomped hard on Zong Cheng's chest!

"Crunch!"

"Ah! It hurts! I'm dying!" A cracking sound came from Zong Cheng's chest, followed by a shrill, miserable scream!

Su Jianhong saw that things were going too far. Worried that Su Bai might lose control and kill Zong Cheng, he immediately held him back.

"Xiao Bai, stop!"

Su Bai glanced at his father, then at Zong Cheng rolling on the floor, and his anger subsided as he calmed down.

Regardless of everything, Zong Cheng was his uncle-in-law; it was wrong for him to lay hands on him.

Only then did Lin Xiu'e snap out of her daze. She hurried to her son's side and grabbed his arm, terrified that if he struck again and caused a death, their family would be ruined!

Lin Xiumei also sobbed, "Xiao Bai, just let him go. He's nothing but a bastard!"

The whole family knew what Zong Cheng was like. When his gambling addiction flared up, he wouldn't care if he lived or died; getting money back from his hands was harder than ascending to heaven!

Seeing his son's expression shifting between light and shadow, Su Jianhong feared the impulsive youth might lose his sense of proportion and cause real trouble, so he immediately shouted at Zong Cheng.

"Get out! And don't you ever come to my house again!"

"Hmph, like I'd want to come back! Who cares!"

Zong Cheng painfully climbed to his feet, dusted off his backside, and left. He walked away with such cold efficiency, ignoring Lin Xiumei sobbing on the sofa as if she weren't his wife at all.

Watching this, Su Bai cursed under his breath, What a damn piece of trash!

But he could only curse; if it hadn't been for the heat of the moment when Zong Cheng shoved his father, he never would have resorted to violence.

Su Bai had been raised well. Although Su Jianhong and Lin Xiu'e weren't particularly successful, they had taught him since childhood to respect his elders and be a filial person.

Su Bai hadn't let his parents down. From childhood to adulthood, no matter what happened, he always put his family first and treated his elders with great respect.

If Zong Cheng hadn't pushed things too far, Su Bai wouldn't have wanted to raise a hand against him.

But just now, he had truly wanted to kill him!

It wasn't about the ten thousand yuan; it was purely out of disgust.

However, Su Bai held back. He knew he didn't have the ability to deal with a murder case; once he killed someone, it would be over.

After Zong Cheng left, the family sat together. Su Xiaoxiao huddled against Su Bai in fear; she couldn't see, but the argument had terrified her.

"Brother, brother-in-law, I'm so sorry. I really wanted to give that money to Xiao Bai, I just didn't expect..." Lin Xiumei wiped her tears, offering an apology.

That ten thousand yuan had been every cent she owned.

"Sigh, you need to be more careful in the future. Don't let that bastard find your money again."

"Forget about the money. If it comes to it, I'll talk to his eldest brother and see if we can scrape some more together!"

Su Jianhong and Lin Xiu'e sighed, offering Lin Xiumei a few words of comfort.

What could they say when she was saddled with a husband like that?

The two of them had tried to divorce more than once, but every time, Lin Xiumei held back for the sake of her daughter, not wanting her to grow up in a broken home...

They felt helpless; they had urged Lin Xiumei to divorce many times.

But Zong Cheng was a cunning man. He was exceptionally good to his daughter, using the child to tether Lin Xiumei so she could never bring herself to leave!

The three of them frowned, falling into a heavy silence.

Seeing this, Su Bai smiled slightly and spoke softly, "Mom, Dad, Second Aunt, don't you worry. Leave the money to me!"

"Hmm?"

The three of them looked at him in unison. Su Bai reached into his schoolbag, pulled out a scroll, and placed it on the table.

"This is... a ninjutsu scroll!" The three of them gasped, their eyes widening in disbelief.

Although they weren't ninjas, they knew the value of a scroll. This was something an ordinary person couldn't afford even if they worked their entire lives!

"Xiao Bai, where did you get this?" Su Jianhong grabbed Su Bai's shoulder, his expression grave.

How could his own son, a mere student, possibly have the ability to obtain a ninjutsu scroll worth a million Federal Coin?

"Could it be..."

Thinking of this, he became even more anxious and hurriedly asked, "Su Bai, where did you get this? Dad heard that this thing is worth over a million. This, this, you're just a student... have you gone down the wrong path?"

"Don't worry, Dad." Seeing his father's concern, Su Bai smiled and explained, "How could your son do something like that? The principal gave it to me after learning of my talent, hoping I would achieve good results and bring glory to the school."

Shock!

Once he finished speaking, the whole family was stunned.

Impressed by Su Bai's talent?

A ninjutsu scroll worth a million Federal Coin was... gifted by someone else?

"Dad, Mom, the principal said that as long as I can master this ninjutsu, there is a high probability that I will be admitted to Nine Provinces Academy!"

"Furthermore, the school's scholarship has already been earmarked for me in advance, a full 100,000, which is enough to cover my university expenses."

"Not only that, I also know a powerful Genin. He spends all year round in the Wasteland Zone fighting magical beasts, and his strength and experience are terrifying. He said he is willing to guide me!"

Su Bai said a lot in one breath. It wasn't that he wanted to show off, but that he wanted to put his parents' minds at ease.

His parents had worked hard their whole lives to raise him for so many years; now it was time for them to reap the "rewards"!

After Su Bai finished speaking, his parents, younger sister, and aunt were all dumbfounded...

After a long while, Lin Xiu'e shed tears of joy and whispered...

"My son has a future, my son has a future!"

The massive transformation in Su Bai gave her the feeling of being struck by happiness, so happy that it felt unreal...

Only a few days ago, she and Su Jianhong were still worrying about Su Bai's future, fearing that their son would live at the very bottom of society just like them, struggling for a living every day, living on the edge of the Base City, and living in constant fear that magical beasts might suddenly attack the city.

But now... Su Bai had suddenly reached a height of excellence they never dared to dream of before!

Scholarships, ninjutsu, ninjas, Nine Provinces Academy... these things, which were so distant for ordinary people, were things they never dared to imagine!

If another family's child achieved even one of these, it would be enough for the whole family to throw a banquet and notify the neighbors to celebrate.

But their son... had achieved them all. This led the family to praise Su Bai for a full half hour!

In the end, Su Bai couldn't take it anymore, and after eating lunch, he immediately "fled"...

"Phew~"

"I've never seen Mom and Dad this happy in two lifetimes, haha." Walking on a quiet path, Su Bai wore a silly smile.

"But I can't be arrogant. This is just the beginning. Right now, I don't even have the ability to buy my family a house in the safe zone of the city center."

"Right, the next goal is to buy a big house for Mom, Dad, and my little sister to live in, and the goal after that is to cure Xiao Xiao's eyes... In any case, I must make my family happy!"

A moment later, carrying his "grand ambition," he arrived at an abandoned slaughterhouse.

It had been operating a few years ago, but later it was said that the boss lost money and quit, leaving behind several massive factory buildings.

This place was even closer to the edge of the Base City than Happiness Residential Complex and was completely uninhabitable. About 20 kilometers further ahead was the wall of Yang City Base City, and outside the wall was the Wasteland Zone, a paradise for magical beasts...

"This will do." Su Bai looked at the open space in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.

Closing his eyes, he began to recall the contents of the scroll.

Actually, he didn't even need to recall it. When he tore the scroll at home... the scroll turned into a beam of light and drilled into his mind. Suddenly, some information appeared in his head—information on how to practice ninjutsu!

Double Suicide Decapitation Technique: Earth Release ninjutsu, D-rank.

Ninjutsu description: The user uses Earth Release to dive underground. The ground where they launch and appear will crack, used for surprise attacks and avoiding the opponent's attacks.

After "reading" the basic information, Su Bai continued to "look" at the cultivation method, and he understood it after a short while.

The Double Suicide Decapitation Technique only has three hand seals, which is considered average for a D-rank ninjutsu; it doesn't have many seals.

After all, this is inherently a surprise attack ninjutsu; if there were too many seals, it wouldn't achieve the effect of a sudden strike.

"Right now, I can perform one seal per second, and it takes three seconds of preparation time to release the Double Suicide Decapitation Technique."

"However, that's just the speed for the Three Body Technique; the Double Suicide Decapitation Technique is likely not that fast."

The school taught that the speed of a ninja's hand seals doesn't just depend on the amount of daily practice. For ninjutsu, hand seals are not just a few simple gestures.

When a ninja uses ninjutsu, the purpose of the hand seals is to condense chakra in one place, and through the arrangement and combination of hand seals, gather the chakra to release the ninjutsu.

Therefore, the speed of these seals doesn't just depend on the speed of the hand movements; more importantly, it depends on the speed at which chakra is condensed within the body. Thus, whether chakra can be quickly connected and finally released as ninjutsu is also a major indicator of whether a ninja is excellent!

As Su Bai's hands began to form the seals, the chakra in his body moved awkwardly along the path of the "Double Suicide Decapitation Technique."

One seal... two seals... three seals...

He had only performed three seals, yet it took him nearly a full minute!

"No wonder the teacher said it would be good if I could learn this ninjutsu in two months. So, circulating chakra is this difficult?"

The school only taught students the Three Body Technique, and the Three Body Technique belongs to a level below D-rank ninjutsu, similar to entry-level ninjutsu.

There are actually many such ninjutsu, but most are not as practical as the Three Body Technique. That is why the school chose the Three Body Technique as the textbook, allowing students to familiarize themselves with the sensation of chakra circulating within their bodies before they officially become ninjas.

However, the chakra in this world is abnormally violent. One must be extremely cautious even during daily refinement, let alone when casting ninjutsu. Consequently, ninjas must be incredibly careful whenever they circulate chakra within their bodies!

This has led to the ninjas of this world having less "talent" than those in the original work; they often take several months just to achieve a preliminary grasp of a low-level ninjutsu.

Su Bai had previously seen many posts online claiming that some people couldn't even learn a B-rank or A-rank ninjutsu in a year. He hadn't believed it back then, thinking it impossible for anyone to be that slow.

But now he believes it; he can't even find a clue on how to perform a mere D-rank ninjutsu.

However, I have a system, so I don't need to worry too much about practicing ninjutsu. Su Bai glanced at his system panel.

At the moment, Double Suicide Decapitation Technique had not yet appeared on the panel, but he felt it would certainly appear as he continued his practice.

After all, since the Three Body Technique had appeared, there was no reason this ninjutsu wouldn't.

Calming his mind, Su Bai practiced over and over again, never feeling a hint of boredom.

Time slipped away bit by bit...

About three hours later, just as Su Bai had practiced hundreds, perhaps thousands of times, a notification suddenly appeared before his eyes...

[You have practiced Earth Release Suicide Decapitation Technique...]

[Earth Release Suicide Decapitation Technique: LV0 (1/100)]

"It appeared!"

Outside Yang City Base City, in the Wasteland Zone.

Inside a thirty-story abandoned building, two men were leaning against a wall, resting.

One of the men was sturdy and around thirty years old, while the other was slightly younger, looking to be about twenty-five or twenty-six, with a conspicuous claw mark on his neck!

"It's been five days, and that kid Su Bai hasn't even given me a single call..."
