Naruto: The Twin Kamui at the Start

"Sharingan, he's actually a bloodline Ninja!"

Although his own strength was mediocre and his talent average, he had heard of the great name of the Sharingan, and he no longer dared to harbor any thoughts of underestimating Su Bai.

Now, he even felt a twinge of regret that he had clashed with Su Bai over a C-grade chakra-conductive weapon!

But it was too late to say anything now; since a conflict had broken out, one side had to fall. That was the cruelty of the Wasteland Zone!

"He's coming!" Camo Man suddenly felt a disturbance in the ground beneath his feet and immediately leaped a dozen meters away!

Just before he had jumped from his original position, one of Su Bai's arms suddenly emerged, and Camo Man immediately began forming hand seals!

Su Bai was also forming seals at high speed. Because he had to emerge from underground before he could form seals, he was a second slower than Camo Man.

Fortunately, Camo Man's talent was nothing special, and his seal-forming speed was not fast. By the time the opponent's Ninjutsu was launched, Su Bai's Ninjutsu had also been activated!

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

"Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique!"

BOOM!

HUM!

Camo Man was instantly controlled by Su Bai's illusion; the muscles on his face twitched, and he stood frozen in place, unable to move!

By the time Su Bai finished casting his illusion, the Great Fireball had already reached him. In his haste, he hadn't fully dodged it; his right arm was grazed by the fireball and immediately turned charred black!

At this moment, Monkey, who was a notch weaker in strength, finally launched his illusion!

Su Bai, who was just about to step forward to deliver the finishing blow and kill Camo Man, suddenly felt as if his brain had been lightly tapped. Immediately following this, the Sharingan automatically generated a force of resistance, as casual as a person waving away an annoying mosquito.

"Ugh!" Monkey's eyes widened, a look of nervousness appearing on his face. He then began to spin around in place anxiously, as if he couldn't see Su Bai standing in the distance!

Su Bai didn't have the heart to deal with him for the moment; he dashed to Camo Man, snatched the long blade from his hand, and slashed across his neck!

"SHING!"

Camo Man's head and body were separated, blood sprayed wildly, and his corpse fell on the spot!

After Camo Man died, Su Bai endured the intense pain in his right arm and looked at Monkey, who was spinning in place like a headless fly, feeling puzzled.

Did my Sharingan just resist his illusion?

Is he in this state because he was controlled by his own illusion?

I understand! This is a unique ability of the Sharingan: Illusion Rebound!

The situation before him made Su Bai suddenly think of a certain older sister in the original work who tried to show off her illusions in front of Itachi... only to end up being controlled by her own illusion...

Growth

Monkey spun in place for nearly a full minute before he finally broke free from his own illusion.

Just then.

"AH!" The newly awakened Monkey let out a miserable scream; his right leg had been severed by Su Bai using Camo Man's long blade!

Su Bai looked at him coldly and asked, "Did you cast an illusion on me just now?"

"You, why... why didn't you fall for my illusion?" Monkey collapsed on the ground, screaming repeatedly. His remaining left leg couldn't even support him to stand, and he was filled with shock!

"It's over, this guy is too strong. Even Brother Hao was killed by him; I'm finished too!" Camo Man's headless corpse lay right beside him, which filled Monkey with despair!

Seeing him in this state, Su Bai became even more certain of his hypothesis and barked, "What kind of illusion did you use on me just now? Speak!"

"It, it was the C-grade illusion, Demonic Illusion: Fox Spirit Technique." Monkey clutched his severed right leg and cried out in pain.

Demonic Illusion: Fox Spirit Technique?

No wonder he kept spinning in place after being hit.

Su Bai knew this Ninjutsu; its effect was that the target would unconsciously wander, constantly circling in the same spot, consuming a large amount of stamina.

Moreover, this illusion could be used on multiple people within a range simultaneously; it was considered an auxiliary illusion and was quite practical.

Thinking of this, Su Bai grinned.

"Now, cast it on me again."

"What? You..." Monkey was stunned, unable to understand what he meant.

Seeing him hesitate, Su Bai didn't say another word and pressed the long blade in his hand against Monkey's neck; it had already drawn blood!

"Hurry up, or I'll kill you right now!"

"Yes, yes!"

Terrified, Monkey endured the excruciating pain and prepared to form seals. Su Bai immediately threw away the long blade in his hand, his scarlet Sharingan staring at the flow of chakra within Monkey's body.

"Begin."

"Yes!"

Monkey didn't dare to delay. He didn't know about the Sharingan, but he knew his life was now in Su Bai's hands, so he could only follow his instructions and immediately began to form seals slowly.

Su Bai, who had long been prepared, immediately endured the intense pain in his right arm and began to copy the Ninjutsu. About three or four seconds later, the two of them launched the illusion at each other simultaneously!

"Demonic Illusion: Fox Spirit Technique!"

"Demonic Illusion: Fox Spirit Technique!"

"Ugh!" Monkey returned to his previous state, crawling around on the ground.

Su Bai remained indifferent.

The moment Monkey attacked him with the illusion, he had directly used the Sharingan's illusion reflection.

This time, he had controlled it consciously, making it far more powerful than when the Sharingan had automatically defended and reflected it just moments ago!

"Another ninjutsu added to my arsenal." Su Bai felt a surge of joy. He picked up his long blade and walked over to Monkey, who was struggling on the ground with a severed leg. He pondered for a dozen seconds...

Finally, a ruthless look crossed his face, and he swung the long blade across Monkey's neck!

"Squelch!"

Amidst the stench of blood, Su Bai took everything of value from Camo Man and Monkey. He returned to the rooftop, retrieved his conductive weapon, and leaped away...

A few hours later.

In an abandoned building within the Wasteland Zone, Su Bai leaned against the wall by the window, his face pale, staring blankly into space.

By now, aside from some charred marks on his right arm, the burns from the Great Fireball had mostly healed.

He had been in this abandoned building for four hours.

It had only taken him half an hour to treat his injuries; he had spent the remaining time trying to shift his mindset.

"Although I knew this day would come... my reaction to actually killing someone is still too intense."

Thinking of Camo Man and Monkey, whom he had killed, Su Bai slowly turned his gaze toward a puddle of vomit ten meters away... that was his own handiwork.

During the battle, his spirit had been highly tense and excited, and he hadn't felt any discomfort about killing at the time.

When he cut off Camo Man's head, he hadn't hesitated; he only wanted to kill the opponent to survive, but...

When he finally ended Monkey's life, his ordinary human psychology began to take its toll...

Once he arrived here, he could no longer hold it back. The thought of those two headless corpses and the blood spraying wildly from their necks made his stomach churn with nausea and disgust.

"I overestimated my own tolerance. This won't do; I must learn to get used to it!" Su Bai withdrew his vacant gaze, secretly hardening his heart!

He understood that to survive in this world where Magic Beast run rampant and status is everything... killing is a skill that must be mastered!

Not only mastered, but normalized and perfected!

He must be stronger and more ruthless than other Ninja! Only then could he live longer than them!

Having figured this out, Su Bai stood up, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, his entire temperament had changed, shedding a layer of "naivety" and gaining a touch of "cruelty!"

Today was the first step in his true journey as a Ninja, and the most important one: killing!

With his mind made up, he no longer hesitated. With a leap, he jumped from the window of the abandoned building to the street, continuing his search for a Long-Eared Rabbit.

The fact that his injuries could heal in half an hour was due to both the Mystical Palm Technique and the Yang Attribute.

Level 2 Mystical Palm Technique and Level 3 Yang Attribute already allowed him to fight in the Wasteland Zone without any worries!

Looking up at the darkening sky, Su Bai quickened his pace; he wanted to hunt one more Long-Eared Rabbit before nightfall!

Half an hour later, Su Bai discovered his target on the playground of a pre-apocalyptic school: a Long-Eared Rabbit playing with a basketball hoop!

"Crunch, crunch!"

The four-to-five-meter-tall, rusted basketball hoop was easily knocked over by the Long-Eared Rabbit's claws. With a slight exertion of force, it was crumpled into a ball—the sheer strength was visible to the naked eye!

Su Bai stood quietly on the distant perimeter wall watching for a while, before finally making a decision.

"With the Double Suicide Decapitation Technique and the Sharingan, I could easily ambush and kill this rabbit... but that wouldn't serve to temper myself. My mindset when facing a Magic Beast is still far behind Brother Chu and the others..."

"Since it's almost dark anyway and there's no time to find another one, I might as well use this Long-Eared Rabbit to train my courage and mindset."

Su Bai held his pale blue long sword, leaped lightly off the wall, and walked calmly toward the Long-Eared Rabbit in the center of the playground.

The Long-Eared Rabbit noticed him, its gem-red eyes, the size of headlights, filled with confusion. It seemed unable to comprehend why a weak human would dare to approach it voluntarily.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!" The Long-Eared Rabbit abandoned its "toy" and let out a few calls at Su Bai with interest.

"Stop calling. What's so fun about a broken iron frame? Let me play with you instead." Su Bai gestured with his long sword and smiled at the Long-Eared Rabbit, which was roughly the size of a Hummer.

He intended to defeat it using taijutsu and reflexes!

Su Bai's flippant words seemed to enrage the Long-Eared Rabbit. The latter carved deep furrows into the ground with its sharp claws and charged at him with a "coo-coo" sound, moving at incredible speed!

Su Bai took a deep breath, instantly activating his Sharingan. He easily dodged the Long-Eared Rabbit's charge and struck back with a sword slash to its belly!

Immediately, the skin and flesh of the Long-Eared Rabbit's belly split open, blood flowing freely and staining its snow-white fur!

"Hiss!" Stung by the pain, the Long-Eared Rabbit became even more furious, swinging its massive claws down hard toward Su Bai's head!

Clang!

Su Bai raised his sword to parry, but his strength was too meager; the immense force from the Long-Eared Rabbit's claws slammed him half a meter deep into the earth!

Watching the Long-Eared Rabbit's claws swing down for a second strike, Su Bai pushed off with his feet and leaped, escaping its range of attack!

"Haa... haa..." Ten meters away, Su Bai gasped for air!

He wasn't tired—not in the slightest!

The panting was merely a byproduct of the adrenaline from his close-quarters combat with the Magic Beast, where life and death hung in the balance.

That's it. What I've been lacking is this very calmness, the ability to cast life and death aside!

Although it was incredibly dangerous, a strange sense of excitement welled up in Su Bai's heart... as if this was the very feeling he had been longing for all along.

"Rabbit, come again!"

"Screech!"

BOOM!

On the silent, deserted training ground, a massive Magic Beast and a human traded blows, every strike aimed to kill!

As time ticked by, by the time dusk approached, Su Bai was already able to face the Long-Eared Rabbit's attacks with complete composure.

"That's enough for today. Let's continue tomorrow."

Su Bai glanced at the sky, casually dodged the Long-Eared Rabbit's claws, and plunged his sword into the ground. He quickly formed hand seals, unleashing a ninjutsu at the charging beast.

"Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique!"

HUM!

The Long-Eared Rabbit seemed to lose its soul in an instant. Its massive body continued to charge forward for another ten meters due to momentum before crashing heavily to the ground, its two short front legs twitching feebly before falling still.

"Shing!"

Su Bai stepped forward and finished off the "sleeping" rabbit with a single strike. He sealed its carcass into a Storage Scroll, turned around, and began his walk back to the base city.
