Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 125 The first generation of Emperor Mugan

Half an hour later, Tsunade enjoyed a massage from a certain boy, and felt so comfortable that she wanted to hum a couple of times.

"You little rascal, you've got some skills!"

"As long as you're satisfied!"

Tamura Hiroshi's smile deepened; he knew he had to take good care of this person before proceeding with his next inquiry.

This person is the type who responds better to gentle persuasion than force.

"So, tell me, what are you up to?"

Tsunade gestured for the boy to speak. This kid was obviously the kind who wouldn't do anything without a reason, and his eagerness to please her must mean he wanted something from her.

"I have some medical questions I'd like to ask."

Seeing that this person had already asked, Tamura Hiroshi naturally didn't stand on ceremony and expressed his desire to ask about medical matters.

"Anything but medical ninjutsu is fine to ask."

Tsunade was very generous; she would definitely not pass on her medical ninjutsu, but she didn't care about some medical issues.

Thank you!

After thanking him, Tamura asked about some questions he wanted to ask, mainly about some minor issues related to activating the body through oxygen.

That's right, he's creating the Seven-Day Breathing Technique for the future Sunagakure.

While the Lightning Release Armor can also activate cells, it requires training to the level of Lightning Release Chakra Mode, which is currently a long way off for Tamura Hao, as he is already stuck on the chakra limit alone.

The Eight Gates technique is too damaging and not his cup of tea. In comparison, Violet's Seven-Day Breathing Technique is more cost-effective.

It may not be as powerful as the Eight Gates or Lightning Release Chakra Mode, but it has the advantage of being less taxing on the body. It mainly increases the oxygen content in the blood through breathing to enhance the activity of body cells, which is much gentler and essentially speeds up the metabolism of body cells.

Of course, this is not something that can be achieved simply by inhaling large amounts of oxygen; it also requires the cooperation of chakra to activate the cells.

The main framework has been completed, but there are still many deep-seated issues to be resolved.

Even Uzumaki Tamayo couldn't help in this regard, as her level of medical ninjutsu wasn't very high, and the medical level in Kumogakure was also somewhat lacking.

At this stage, the only solution is to find this top healer in Naruto.

Although Tsunade was surprised by the strangeness of the boy's question, she did not refuse and answered it in detail.

This exchange of questions about massage and answers, which took place until nightfall, was not over until then.

"Little devil, are you developing some kind of secret technique?"

Finally, Tsunade couldn't help but ask a question, having made some guesses based on the questions the boy had raised.

"Yes."

Tamura Hiroshi didn't hide it, after all, everyone else had already figured it out.

"Overload bursts are usually forbidden techniques, which are very harmful to the body. Don't train yourself to death."

After offering a kind reminder, Tsunade left feeling refreshed.

Soaking in a hot spring is a great way to relax, and adding that kid's scrubbing and massage service makes it even more enjoyable.

"How much did you touch?"

As soon as Tamura Hao stepped out of the bathhouse, someone put their arm around his shoulder; it was undoubtedly Jiraiya.

Turning his head, he saw that Jiraiya's face was distorted, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was pale.

"I've touched everything except her chest and genitals; they all feel great."

Tamura Hao responded calmly, and then two streams of blood gushed from Jiraiya's nostrils, making his face even paler.

"Have you been having a nosebleed all day?"

Looking at Jiraiya's blood loss, Tamura Hiroshi really couldn't understand this kind of nosebleed.

Is it really that stimulating?

"Teach me, please teach me!"

Ignoring the nosebleed, Jiraiya gripped the boy's arm tightly, his eyes filled with longing.

He, a hero, was determined to learn this skill! To master it completely! To become an expert!

"First, bring me your hair secrets."

Extending his palm, Tamura Hao hadn't forgotten their previous bet.

"Here you go, this is what I just memorized."

Jiraiya didn't hesitate at all to take out a scroll. Compared to that skill, this little secret technique was nothing.

"These are my notes from this line of work. You'll have to exchange them for a secret technique that doesn't require any chakra attribute."

Taking the scroll, Tamura Hao took out a notebook from the sealing technique inside a piece of armor and waved it, indicating that he could exchange it.

"I have a Frog Transformation Technique, which is a variant application of the Transformation Technique. It transforms others into toads or other animals, preventing them from forming hand seals and unleashing ninjutsu in battle."

After hesitating for a moment, Jiraiya finally decided to use the Frog Transformation technique.

I must learn this skill; I'm willing to give anything for it.

Moreover, the Frog Transformation Technique is not a combat-type secret technique, and it can only be used against those weaker than oneself, making it relatively useless.

"make a deal!"

Tamura Hao smiled with satisfaction. He knew about the Frog Transformation Technique and had some bold ideas about it. If he could combine it with the permanent transformation technique from the Land of Demons, it should have a good effect.

Jiraiya then earnestly explained the situation, and Tamura listened attentively, asking questions from time to time, until the shady deal was finally completed half an hour later.

Jiraiya excitedly took the notebook and began to study it diligently, seemingly planning to study it through the night.

He was already used to studying late into the night like this. In the past, when he bought those teachers' erotic masterpieces, he would study them overnight and never wait until the next day.

Ignoring the excited Jiraiya, Tamura Hao strode straight back to the Uchiha clan's territory.

"Where have all of Lord Danzo's men gone? They haven't come looking for me, their ace spy, yet. With these good-for-nothings around, no wonder Lord Danzo ended up as nothing more than a substitute Hokage."

With a grumbling to himself, Tamura Hao returned to the Uchiha clan chief's mansion and saw a girl lying on the dining table, lost in thought.

"Why are you only getting back now? I've already bought the groceries for you; they're in the kitchen."

The girl's eyes lit up when she saw that someone had finally returned; she had been waiting for a long time.

"Can't you do it yourself?"

Looking at the girl, Tamura Hao couldn't help but remark, "I didn't realize she was such a foodie."

"I want to try something new."

Mikoto Uchiha spoke with righteous indignation, saying that this bastard wouldn't be around for more than a few days, and that she should learn more cooking skills so that she could cook for her father and Fugaku later.

"Go wash the vegetables!"

After saying something to the girl, Tamura Hao headed towards the kitchen, and Uchiha Mikoto got up and quickly followed, helping out while continuing to learn from her.

Ninjas can cook at a speed that ordinary people cannot match, especially swordsmen like Tamura Hao, who used cooking to hone his swordsmanship.

In less than half an hour, the four dishes and one soup were ready.

Since it was just the two of them, they didn't do much.

Mikoto Uchiha was thoroughly enjoying the food. She found it very satisfying to eat this new and unfamiliar dish, especially since she had even learned how to make it herself.

"You went to see Lord White Fang?"

After finishing her meal and cleaning up the dishes, Mikoto Uchiha returned and, looking at the knife marks on the boy's armor, guessed that he must have gone to find that White Fang.

She had witnessed this bastard's strength before; he was a standard Special Jonin, with his taijutsu and swordsmanship skills reaching the Jonin level, only lacking in ninjutsu.

In Konoha, only the White Fang could have beaten him like that, especially with a sword.

"Yes, Senior Sakumo's swordsmanship is very strong. I was suppressed the whole time and couldn't find a chance to fight back. If he were to unleash his full power, one strike would be enough to kill me."

Tamura Hao recalled his battle with Hatake Sakumo and sighed that he truly deserved to be called the number one swordsman in the ninja world today.

The future number one swordsman in the ninja world will be Nisuke, who can use swordsmanship to fight against the strong members of the Otsutsuki clan, far surpassing the current Hatake Sakumo.

However, that was only in terms of skill level; in terms of pure swordsmanship, Nisuke's was not pure.

Are you really only twelve years old?

Mikoto Uchiha couldn't understand this achievement. She was just a twelve-year-old kid, so how could she be so strong?

"I started cultivating when I was old enough to understand things, and it's been almost ten years now. All my strength is accumulated through cultivation bit by bit."

Tamura Hiroshi sighed, saying that after ten years of hard work, he was finally able to barely make a name for himself.

Of course, it can't compare to someone as overpowered as Naruto Uzumaki.

Naruto's formal training actually began after he graduated from the Ninja Academy. When he first graduated, he didn't even really understand chakra and was focused on dating.

Then he soared to the top with incredible speed, reaching the Six Paths level at the age of seventeen. He had only cultivated for a total of five years, without any regard for logic.

Compared to those super-powerful beings, I'm still far behind. I hope I can reach the Six Paths level during the Fourth Shinobi World War!

"Ten years!"

Mikoto Uchiha suddenly realized that she had been training for ten years, and while she could be described as diligent, she couldn't be considered hardworking.

"What's the entertainment center like in Hidden Cloud Village?"

Let's shift the topic to the entertainment center in Hidden Cloud Village. It was the first entertainment center to appear, so it must be the most authentic.

"I'm tired!"

Tamura Hiroshi was too lazy to talk about such useless nonsense, so he got up, went back to brush his teeth and wash his face, and then went to sleep.

Tomorrow is the Chunin Exams, so I need to be in good shape.

Mikoto Uchiha came over again and continued to ask about the entertainment center, especially about the food.

Tonight should be the last night this bastard stays here. The Chunin Exams are consecutive, and he can't leave halfway through.

Tamura Hao was so annoyed that he slapped her perky buttocks to calm her down, and then used her as a pillow to sleep.

He was really asleep, and hadn't even bothered to study the hair-making secrets and frog transformation techniques he had acquired. Those weren't skills that could be mastered in a short time, so there was no need to rush them.

I'll beat you to death sooner or later!

With a blush on her face, she mumbled something and could only close her eyes and go to sleep.

He slept until dawn, and after having breakfast, Tamura Hao went to meet up with Yozuki Ai and the others to exchange information.

Uchiha Hikaru glanced coldly at someone without saying anything, Uzumaki Kushina snorted, while Uzumaki Kaoru stepped forward and sniffed, looking puzzled.

She seemed to smell a woman's scent, the scent of other women.

"Weren't you assigned teammates?"

After reviewing the list, Tamura Hiroshi was puzzled as to why he was listed separately.

"You and Hikari are both solo players, while Kushina and Vanilla are a two-person team."

Fukai glanced at the four teenagers and explained, "You are all too strong. There is no point in you coming together. Others will not be able to cooperate with you and will only become a burden. You can only be separated."

My student is currently very strong; he is a standard taijutsu jonin.

Kushina Uzumaki had already unleashed three Vajra Seals, and with the addition of the Rasengan, she possessed Jonin-level combat power.

Vanilla Uzumaki is also quite strong, but considering psychological factors, she can only team up with Kushina Uzumaki.

Uchiha Hikaru is another story altogether. When he was rescued, he was already an elite Jonin. In the past two years, his strength has further improved, and he is now very close to the level of a Kage.

"One person forming a team means that you will have to complete a team's mission by yourself during the Chunin Exams, but with your strength, it shouldn't be difficult for you to do so."

Yozuki Ai added that she was very confident about the upcoming Chunin Exams.

"Isn't this a bit too high-profile?"

Tamura Hiroshi felt it was a bit too high-profile.

"Konoha has made this Chunin Exams a grand affair, inviting many important figures from various countries. A good performance will help spread the reputation of our Hidden Cloud Village, gain more trust in us, and thus obtain more mission assignments."

Your task in this Chunin Exam is to eliminate as many Konoha candidates as possible, thereby directly undermining Konoha's objective in this Chunin Exam.

We have already reached an agreement with representatives from Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure to jointly target Konoha.

Fukai explained that they were taking this Chunin Exams quite seriously.

"Aren't you afraid that if you do this, Konoha might become desperate and wipe us out later?"

After hearing this, I couldn't help but complain that this employment system is really a rip-off, especially after the establishment of the ninja village system.

Can you believe that a country's military force is actually a group of mercenaries?

"With my dad backing me up, what's there to be afraid of?"

Yotsuki Ai was fearless. After obtaining the Murakumogiri, her combat power had increased significantly. She was confident that she could fight even against a strong person who surpassed the Jonin level. Her father's improvement after obtaining the Hell Spear must be even greater.

She would definitely be no match for the First Hokage's wife, but she could easily crush someone like Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Okay, I understand."

Tamura Hiroshi didn't say anything more, but he would have to decide on the specifics after meeting Lord Danzo.

He had already sensed Orochimaru's chakra in Konoha, although it was very weak and only appeared for a very short time, but he was absolutely certain that he had sensed it correctly.

Orochimaru is here, and Danzo is likely to come as well, perhaps during the Chunin Exams.

"Hikaru, you might be facing Orochimaru this time, so be careful."

After thinking for a moment, he offered another reminder.

If it's Orochimaru, then we need to be extra careful.

The enemy has rushed back from the front lines, so they must have something to do. Their target can only be a few of them, especially Uchiha Hikaru.

As for Kushina and Vanilla, Orochimaru definitely wouldn't dare to touch them, otherwise he would have to face Mito Uzumaki's wrath, and even Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't be able to protect him.

Orochimaru is a smart man and wouldn't do anything foolish, so the only possible target is Uchiha Hikaru.

"That unkillable monster?"

Kushina Uzumaki's heart skipped a beat. She had a deep impression of that person; he had survived being cut to pieces, he was a monster.

"I'm not the same person I was a year ago."

Holding the hilt of the Lightning Blade, Uchiha Hikaru's expression was indifferent.

Over the past year, his strength has improved considerably, especially after receiving the immense eye power transmitted by that shameless villain. His eye power has been further enhanced, and all three abilities of the Sharingan have been greatly improved.

With the Kusanagi sword in hand, she was confident she could once again shred Orochimaru.

"Don't be careless. Orochimaru, as the Third Hokage's most outstanding disciple, possesses strength and skills that are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Last time, we only gained the advantage of striking first, and we didn't even get to use some of Orochimaru's techniques."

Tamura Hao solemnly warned, "Snake Uncle is very dangerous."

The caring tone made Uchiha Hikaru's heart skip a beat, and he turned his head to the side, as if he had taken it to heart.

"Don't underestimate someone like Orochimaru. Each of you should take 10,000 explosive tags for self-defense."

Uzumaki Tamamo's expression also became more solemn. He took out three sealed scrolls and handed them to Uchiha Hikaru, Uzumaki Kushina, and Uzumaki Kaoru.

As for Tamura Hao, she didn't give him any, because he always carried tens of thousands of high-quality explosive tags for self-defense, so she didn't need to worry about him.

"We will go to provide support as soon as possible should there be any major commotion."

Yoruichi and Fukai also became serious; Orochimaru was indeed not to be underestimated.

However, they were not afraid. He and Fukai were already elite Jonin, and with the addition of the ninja sword forged by their junior brother, their combat power could be further enhanced.

Even if the two of them joined forces, they wouldn't back down against a Kage. Add to that Uchiha Hikaru, who was even stronger than them, and Uzumaki Tamayo, who possessed the Vajra Sealing Whirlpool Technique, and they could even overwhelm and kill a Kage-level powerhouse.

If all else fails, we can summon Daddy to come and help us, so there's nothing to fear.

"The Chunin Exams are about to begin!"

Suddenly, Yu Ye spoke, and then removed the surrounding barrier.

Without saying anything more, Tamura and the other three strode towards the examination hall.

That was a real exam hall, and the first part was answering exam questions.

There was a circle of Konoha ninja watching them, all of whom were at least senior Chunin, and the examiner was an elite Jonin.

Ignoring the examiner's explanation of the exam rules, Tamura Hao's gaze swept over the candidates, who were all sizing each other up.

Soon they spotted a blonde girl wearing glasses who gave off a gentle vibe.

As if sensing Tamura Hiroshi's gaze, the girl turned her head, and their eyes met.

The girl was puzzled at first, then seemed to remember something and a hint of joy appeared in her heart, but she suppressed it and turned her gaze away, pretending to look at the others.

"She's getting gentler and gentler!"

Tamura Hao also withdrew his gaze, marveling at the girl's growth, while becoming even more certain that Lord Danzo had secretly returned to Konoha.

According to the information provided by Black Zetsu, that girl is currently highly valued by Lord Danzo, and is even leading the bloodline ninja limb transplant project, staying in the base behind the front lines.

Logically, it shouldn't be possible for him to leave at this time to return to Konoha to participate in the Chunin Exams, but he came anyway. This is clearly a perk given to him by Lord Danzo to deepen their bond.

Lord Danzo is such a good leader!

His gaze shifted and soon spotted a blond figure, but it wasn't a girl; it was a boy.

"If this hair were any longer, you could easily mistake it for a girl's."

Looking at the other person's delicate features, Tamura Hao thought to himself.

That's Minato Namikaze. I have to admit he's very handsome; his looks are undeniable.

However, he's too delicate-looking, very similar to Cloud from Final Fantasy. If he wore women's clothing, he would definitely be a menace.

Meanwhile, Minato Namikaze was also observing the others, especially the ninjas from other villages, and soon noticed someone staring at him.

"Is he the person Jiraiya-sensei was talking about?"

After observing the opponent's hair color and attire, Minato Namikaze recalled Jiraiya's words of advice from yesterday. This must be the strongest opponent in this Chunin Exam.

But I'm not weak either!

Tamura Hiroshi's gaze did not linger on Minato Namikaze for long, but continued to observe the others. Soon, a splash of green caught his eye.

"Why is he here too? Is it a coincidence? Or was it deliberately arranged?"

Becoming wary, judging from the other party's attire and appearance, it should be the First Hokage of Konoha, Might Guy. At this stage, he probably cannot open the Eight Gates Formation, but he can at least open six gates.

Six gates is equivalent to Kage-level strength. The appearance of a Kage-level fighter in the Chunin Exams would be absolutely disastrous.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was absolutely aware of Might Guy's strength; it was not as unknown to the higher-ups as some fanfiction portrays it, which would be a gross underestimation of the Hokage.

Not to mention that Might Guy was admitted to the Ninja Academy with special permission from Hiruzen Sarutobi, so how could he not know that?

Furthermore, the Eight Gates is a forbidden technique, how could Might Dai know it?

Is it a family tradition? Or was it taught to you by someone else?

Regardless of which one it is, Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the Hokage, must know.

Furthermore, it was also deliberate for Might Day to go to rescue Might Guy's team in the future. How did Might Day know that his son was in danger and provide timely and accurate support?

That person has no influence or connections in Konoha, no intelligence network, and no ability to foresee or sense things; someone must have informed them.

Then they went to provide support, and incidentally defeated Kirigakure's strongest team, turning them into a trio of misfortunes, suppressing Kirigakure's offensive against the Land of Fire, and allowing Konoha to catch its breath in the Third Shinobi World War.

This is unlikely to be a coincidence, so it must have been orchestrated.

From the perspective of the ultimate beneficiaries, it can only be the Konoha leadership, most likely the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Might Deck is currently quite ordinary, and even in Konoha, few people know him. His sudden appearance in this Chunin Exams makes him think a lot.
