Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 116 Hashirama Chakra Crystallization

The Third Raikage, wielding his newly acquired Hellfire Spear, transformed into a streak of black lightning, traversing the mountains with unrestrained fury, piercing and shattering everything in his path, even massive mountain bodies.

After piercing through another mountain, the Third Raikage returned with a sense of unfinished business, took the nutrient solution handed to him by the earthen platform, and drank it all in one gulp to quickly replenish his physical strength.

"Lord Raikage's current strength is already approaching that of the First Hokage back then, isn't it?"

Tsuchida was amazed and delighted; the stronger the Raikage, the stronger their Hidden Cloud Village would become.

The Third Hokage was already considered one of the strongest among the Kage of the major ninja villages; only the Third Tsuchikage, who possessed Dust Release, could contend with the Raikage.

After mastering the Earth Release ninjutsu series of the Rock Release: Technique, his strength soared even further, surpassing the level of a normal Kage and approaching the level of the First Hokage.

He received a bone transplant from Kaguya, gaining a low level of Shikotsumyaku power, which further strengthened his bones and granted him a slight self-healing ability, thus raising his strength to another level.

Now that he has obtained the Hell Spear, his strength has been enhanced, and when he unleashes his full power, he can quickly pierce through a mountain.

"The First Hokage in his normal state couldn't stop my Hell Thrust, but if he uses that Sage Technique, there's no way he can fight back."

The Third Raikage was very confident in his current strength, but he was also aware of his own limitations.

Although he had never personally witnessed the First Hokage's full power, he had visited the Valley of the End after news of the battle broke. The drastically altered terrain revealed just how terrifying the First Hokage's peak combat strength was.

He can only go toe-to-toe with the First Hokage in his normal state, and even that is not enough to last long. He is still no match for the First Hokage.

That Wood Release technique is too powerful and overpowered. If you add Sage Mode, it becomes even more unbeatable. Moreover, the First Hokage's chakra reserves are also unreasonable, far exceeding those of the Tailed Beasts.

"Sage power is not easy to obtain. Only the three legendary holy lands have complete sage techniques. Our Thunder Temple in the Land of Thunder is far inferior."

Tsuchida was also aware of the power of Sage Mode, a fact detailed in Sarutobi Shinnosuke's memories. After all, the Third Hokage's three disciples possessed summoning contracts with the three great holy lands, and the Third Hokage was a disciple jointly taught by the First and Second Hokage.

That is a very powerful force that can increase a ninja's strength several times, or even dozens of times. The First Hokage used Sage Mode combined with Wood Release to kill Madara Uchiha.

However, the cultivation of immortal arts is extremely dangerous, and one can die if one is not careful.

"I've almost reached my limit; Ai and the others might be able to go even further."

The Third Raikage pinned his hopes on the future, having already exhausted his own potential and finding it impossible to improve further.

But his son and the others still have a future and will surely go further.

"Increase efforts to collect precious metals!"

Looking at the Hell Spear in his hand, the Third Raikage highly regarded this supreme weapon.

Although his own fingers were strong, they could not compare to this weapon. Using this to unleash the Hell Thrust would at least double its power.

Moreover, judging from the intelligence that came back, that kid seems to be able to mass-produce this kind of weapon, which would be a great help to the village and must be fully supported.

If every Jonin in the village had a weapon of this caliber, their strength would at least double.

Leaving aside the joy on the Third Raikage's side, far away in Konoha, Tamura Hao was sleeping in the mansion of the Uchiha clan head.

Although I'm not used to this type of floor-sleeved bedding, the scent of solid wood is still very pleasant.

Unfortunately, before he could wake up naturally, he was startled awake by Kaguya's chakra and sensed a slight malice approaching.

He always kept Kaguya's sense of good and evil active, especially when he was sleeping. It was a good defense mechanism, as he could sense anyone who got close, especially those with malicious intent.

Princess Kaguya now possesses basic consciousness and can make distinctions to provide reminders.

"It's her!"

Sensing that familiar chakra, Tamura Hao wondered, what was that person doing coming over in the middle of the night?

Before I could figure it out, a thin tube extended from the crack in the door and then spewed out a puff of blue smoke.

Seeing this, Tamura Hao was speechless, but he didn't expose her. He wanted to see what that girl was up to.

After waiting for a while, Uchiha Mikoto, who was outside, guessed that the medicine had taken effect, so she gently pushed open the door, went in, and closed the door.

The faint moonlight filtering through the window revealed the interior, including the person inside the bed.

He opened his crimson Sharingan eyes and carefully surveyed the area, making sure there were no traps before stepping forward to look at that hideous face.

Back in her room, lying in bed, she grew angrier and angrier, unable to sleep. So she decided to come and punish the wretched little devil.

Without delay, he took out his brush and ink, preparing to draw a big toad on someone's face.

Didn't you think I was dirty?

I'll draw an ugly, filthy toad on your face.

Before the brush could even touch someone's face, he felt his ankle being grabbed by a hand.

Before he could react, a surge of electricity rushed into his body, instantly numbing him and causing him to tremble uncontrollably. The calligraphy brush in his hand fell onto the pillow.

"I never imagined that Miss Mikoto had fallen for me so secretly, and that she would come to keep me company tonight. I am truly honored!"

When Tamura Hao opened his eyes and met Uchiha Mikoto's scarlet Sharingan, he was very happy, especially when he saw her pleading little eyes.

Weren't you quite fierce when you forced me to drink tea before?

Where did that awesomeness go?

Where did it go?

Ignoring her desperate, pleading eyes, he reached out and untied her sash, causing her soft kimono pajamas to slip off. Tamura Hao unceremoniously pulled her into the quilt and held her in his arms, continuing to paralyze her with lightning-attribute chakra.

He realized that the girl had come for revenge, so he naturally couldn't be polite to her.

Moreover, I've gotten used to sleeping with vanilla every night for the past year, and it's really not comfortable to sleep alone like this. Now that someone has come to me, I can't refuse.

Most importantly, Uchiha Mikoto is the voluptuous type, with a better figure, and at eighteen years old, she is basically fully developed, making her more comfortable to hold.

The fresh scent of the shower gel clearly indicated that the person had taken a shower; that's really thoughtful.

Mikoto Uchiha was almost in tears, especially when she realized that this wretched brat was naked, and the skin-to-skin contact gave her goosebumps.

She wanted to resist, but her body was continuously paralyzed by the other party, and she couldn't move at all.

What drove her even more to the brink of collapse and madness was... she naturally knew what it was.

Fugaku, I'm sorry, I'm not clean!

In this agonizing ordeal, Uchiha Mikoto finally made it to dawn, but Tamura Hao had no intention of letting it go so easily.

While continuing to hold the paralyzed Uchiha Mikoto, he took out a state-of-the-art high-definition camera from the sealing technique of his armor and used chakra threads to take a series of pictures of them, even inducing Uchiha Mikoto to make various poses in response.

Mikoto Uchiha tried to struggle, but her paralyzed body wouldn't obey her commands.

After taking hundreds of photos, Tamura Hiroshi finally put away his camera with satisfaction.

"Miss Mikoto, you wouldn't want Mr. Fugaku to see these photos, would you?"

Ignoring Uchiha Mikoto's resentful gaze, Tamura Hao adopted a wicked and arrogant expression to threaten her.

If you dare to launch a night raid to retaliate against me, Tian, ​​I'll keep this little secret for you for the rest of my life!

These words made Mikoto Uchiha's eyes widen, and the two tomoe inside her rotated a little faster.

How could a person be so despicable and shameless!

"I'm giving you three choices. First, we can continue sleeping like this until Senior Retsuyo and Mr. Fugaku arrive. This is the room arranged for me, and I'm sure they'll understand that this is Mikoto-san's own choice!"

Tamura Hao still had that wicked look on his face, indicating that he, Tamura Hao, was capable of anything, and that starting a celestial war was not a problem.

This made Mikoto Uchiha's eyes widen even more, and her face turn even paler.

This absolutely cannot be done!

"It seems Ms. Mikoto doesn't like this suggestion. Let's try another one."

Seeing that Uchiha Mikoto refused, Tamura Hao readily continued, "Secondly, I will let you go, and then you will fight me to the death, just like that without any physical contact. I believe that Senior Lieyang and Fugaku will definitely be shocked. It's just that Senior Lieyang is old, and I don't know if his heart can withstand such stimulation."

If Senior Lieyang were to die as a result, the cooperation between our Hidden Cloud Village and your Uchiha clan would likely have to end, and a real war might even break out on the front lines.

"At that time, countless members of the Uchiha clan will lose sons, husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, and so on. Crying and grief will engulf the entire Uchiha clan. And who knows how many people will be seated at each table?"

Mikoto Uchiha's face paled even more, her expression equally resistant, and the tomoe in her eyes spun faster and faster with each fluctuation of her emotions.

"Still not satisfied?"

Tamura Hiroshi felt this one was a bit picky, but it didn't matter, there was still one last option.

"Then I'll lower my expectations. Miss Mikoto, just leave naturally, and then come to my room again tonight. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. I'm just not used to sleeping alone, so I need a body pillow."

Tamura Hiroshi's parents died when he was young, and he was trained in the dark and cruel environment of Root. Later, he was sent to Kumogakure as a spy. He was always on edge and could not sleep peacefully at night. He often suffered from insomnia and needed someone to accompany him.

Mikoto Uchiha still strongly resisted this request; this time had already nearly driven her to the brink of collapse, so how could she possibly accept it again?

Even without doing *that* kind of thing, just this hugging and embracing was enough to drive her crazy and break her down.

"Fugaku-kun will probably be very interested in these photos. I'll share them with him tonight. I just don't know if they'll be able to stimulate Fugaku-kun to awaken his Mangekyou Sharingan. I imagine Mikoto-san is also looking forward to it, right?"

As Tamura Hiroshi spoke, he also showed an expectant little expression.

Mikoto Uchiha was filled with despair and immense regret.

Why did you come here to provoke this despicable and shameless bastard?

"Miss Mikoto, don't forget to take a shower when you come over tonight."

Seeing that Uchiha Mikoto had indeed given in, Tamura Hao withdrew his fingers from her navel.

The human body has a spiral meridian in the abdomen, with the core point connected to the navel. Stimulating this acupoint with lightning-attribute chakra can maximally interfere with the chakra refining process and paralyze the entire body, making it more effortless and efficient.

Having lost the paralysis of lightning chakra, Uchiha Mikoto lay limp with an expression of utter exhaustion, her sweat making her even more alluring.

Being constantly stimulated by lightning-attribute chakra is not pleasant. Although the intensity is not high and there is no pain, the piercing numbness and itching is even more torturous.

Especially since that despicable bastard even pointed his finger at his abdomen, he now feels almost completely exhausted and his throat is extremely dry.

However, Mikoto Uchiha didn't dare to linger there. After glaring at someone resentfully, she struggled to get up, put on her pajamas, and performed a transformation jutsu to return to her normal appearance. Only then did she stagger out of the room.

"Women really are made of water!"

Tamura Hiroshi then lifted the blanket and looked at the sweat-soaked and other damp mattress, marveling at the wonder of women, before making a sarcastic remark.

"Such poor patience and willpower; she's definitely a flower grown in a greenhouse."

He hadn't expected that the Uchiha clan's eldest daughter's patience was so poor. After all, the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju, had said that ninjas were beings who could endure anything to achieve their goals. Miss Mikoto still lacked training.

After making a complaint, she rolled up the bedding and put it into a sealing spell on her armor, then went into the bathroom to wash, especially the twin brothers.

Yesterday, it was not only rinsed many times, but it also flared up, so it needs a good wash.

This made him think back to Stephen Chow's "The God of Cookery" movie from his previous life. He remembered that there was a petty abbot named Master Mengyi in the movie. Could he be considered one of them this time?

Lost in these random thoughts, I finished my bath, changed into a new set of inner and outer clothing, and finally fastened the light armor.

The marks from my sparring session with Admiral Mifune and the severed little cat have been repaired on the way here. Although the strength of that part is not as good as before, it is still usable for combat.

After putting on his armor, he arrived at the place where he had dinner last night. Uchiha Retsuyo was having breakfast, and Uchiha Mikoto was next to him.

Upon seeing someone's arrival, Mikoto Uchiha involuntarily activated her Sharingan, unleashing a surge of intense malice.

If looks could kill, Tamura Hiroshi would probably already be chopped into various ingredients and cooked right now.

"Mikoto, you've reached three tomoe!"

Sensing his daughter's powerful eye energy, Uchiha Retsuyo, who was about to greet Tamura Hao, turned his head and looked over, both surprised and delighted.

All that could be seen were the daughter's bloodshot eyes, within which three tomoe were slowly rotating.

"Congratulations, Mikoto, on the further enhancement of your Sharingan!"

Tamura Hiroshi ignored the resentful look in his eyes and offered his congratulations sincerely.

This only fueled Mikoto Uchiha's malice, causing the three tomoe in her eyes to spin faster, as she wished she could chop this despicable bastard into pieces and make him into sushi.

Tamura Hao remained oblivious to the glare and casually picked up the breakfast in front of Uchiha Mikoto to eat.

Although he didn't like the food in this system, he could still manage to eat it for breakfast.

"The young master of the Senju clan came to our Uchiha clan territory early this morning; he's looking for you."

Uchiha Retsuyo didn't notice his daughter's unusual behavior, assuming she hadn't gotten over her emotions from last night, and changed the subject to something else.

"The young master of the Senju family?"

Tamura Hiroshi was surprised. "Is it Nawaki?"

"I'll go take a look!"

Without delay, I quickly finished my breakfast and got up to leave.

"Mikoto, don't be so hostile towards Hao-kun."

After the person left, Uchiha Retsuyo gave a serious but light rebuke.

My daughter's behavior was outrageous. Not only did she not prepare breakfast for the guests, but she also glared at them like that.

Furthermore, the fact that her daughter repeatedly upgraded her Sharingan to the three-tomoe level shows the resentment she harbors towards others.

It's just a small matter, is it really worth making such a fuss about?

"dad!"

Mikoto Uchiha felt incredibly wronged after being scolded by her father, but she couldn't explain herself, which only fueled her resentment towards him.

Leaving aside the red-eyed girl who was feeling wronged and resentful, on the other side, Tamura Hao was walking along the main street of the Uchiha clan's territory when he was stopped by a boy whose eyes revealed a kind of naivety.

"So you're the one who bullied Kushina?"

Rope Tree questioned angrily, his fists clenched tightly.

"That's right, it's Kushina, whom I bullied, and not just once!"

Tamura Hao paused for a moment, then put on a wicked and arrogant expression, admitting it arrogantly like a villain. His gaze fell on a necklace that was visible on the boy's collar, which was a green crystal.

Is it that necklace?

"I challenge you to a duel!"

Rope Tree was furious, but he wasn't blinded by anger.

After all, the other party was an invited candidate from the Cloud Ninja Clan, so they couldn't just beat him up; at least they had to make it a duel.

"Duel is not forbidden, but in our Hidden Cloud Village, duels are a very sacred thing. The winner will have the right to take one item from the loser as a trophy."

Tamura Hiroshi did not refuse, but he stated a condition.

"what ever!"

Nawaki was very confident. His strength was not weak, enough to rival that of a Chunin. He was currently training in Earth Release: Nature Transformation and would soon become a Special Jonin.

The other person is the same age as me, so they must be inferior to me.

"very good!"

Tamura Hiroshi smiled; he liked opponents with such confidence.

"I'm in a hurry, let's play here!"

He raised his hand to form the opposing seal, not wanting to waste any time.

"I'll definitely teach you a lesson."

Rope Tree, brimming with confidence, also raised his hand and formed the seal of opposition.

"Lady Tsunade!"

Just as Tamura Hiroshi was about to make his move, he suddenly looked behind Nawaki and quickly stood up straight to greet him.

"elder sister!"

Rope Tree instinctively trembled and quickly turned around to greet him, only to find that there was no one behind him at all.

He immediately realized something was wrong, quickly turned around, and then a fist rapidly enlarged in his left eye.

"Bang!"

A punch landed squarely on the boy's eye socket, then on the other side, symmetrically, followed by a series of punches that swelled the boy's face considerably.

After this series of punches, Rope Tree fell to the ground cleanly and decisively, his mind blank.

"This chain is pretty good, it's mine!"

After tearing off the necklace, Tamura Hao examined it for a moment, then put it away and strode forward, ignoring the stunned boy.

"You idiot, you attacked me from behind!"

It took Rope Tree a while to come to his senses, and he immediately got up and cursed angrily.

That bastard has absolutely no decency; he resorted to such despicable and shameless deception and sneak attack.

"It hurts!"

He immediately clutched his cheek in pain; it hurt terribly.

Leaving aside the depressed young man on one side, Tamura Hao was strolling around as if he were shopping. He soon came to a quiet alley and was stopped by a short figure.

"Tamura Hiroshi, come with me to assist the Anbu in the investigation."

Upon seeing that short figure, Tamura Hao smiled. He had already sensed the other party's chakra; they were old acquaintances, and he had even sensed the other party's malice before.

That's right, the person in front of me is the girl I saw at the gate of Uzushiogakure. I didn't expect that although her height hadn't changed in two years, her figure had become more domineering.

Could it be that the other person has been consistently giving themselves massages to promote development for the past two years?

"Is this the Third Hokage's idea? Or the idea of ​​some high-ranking official in your village?"

He asked a question, feeling that it shouldn't be Hiruzen Sarutobi's intention, at least not because he had gone to the Uchiha clan head's house that someone was sent over.

Moreover, if it were truly someone sent by Hiruzen Sarutobi, they would never have taken so long to show themselves.

"You don't need to know!"

Shimura Izumi's voice was cold, even containing a hint of murderous intent.

In the battle of the Land of Whirlpools, too many of her clansmen and comrades were killed by the Cloud Ninja, and even Shinnosuke was humiliated and taken prisoner. This debt must be settled.

Moreover, this person was highly suspicious, as he actually went to the Uchiha clan's territory and even spent the night at the Uchiha clan leader's residence.

There's definitely something wrong!
