Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 14 Tamura Hiten

While Tamura Hao was taking a bath, Shimura Danzo, far away in Konoha, had already received information about his unusual behavior. The information was transmitted to him very quickly via a summoning beast.

"He discovered the spy who stole the money from the Hidden Cloud Village to purchase supplies, received praise and reward from the Third Raikage, became the student of the Raikage's nephew, and even showed signs of getting close to the Raikage's son."

Looking at the simplistic intelligence report, Shimura Danzo fell into deep thought, and after a long while, he recalled the precocious little brat from back then.

"I remember that kid had a childhood sweetheart."

Thinking of those two brats from back then, Danzo Shimura had a deep impression of them.

Although both of them had only average talent for cultivation, they were both very precocious and well-suited to be spies.

In addition, since that brat only had the lightning attribute, he assigned him to the Hidden Cloud Village.

It was originally just a casual move, mainly to replace the piece that was about to die, but who would have thought that this little piece would develop so well on its own.

"These are their files!"

A masked ninja handed over two files. Shimura Danzo took them and opened them. On top was a photo of Tamura Hao, in black and white, and below was the name Tamura Hiten.

This is Tamura Hiroshi's real name in this world. He originally didn't have a surname, but after his parents learned that their son had been recruited by Lord Shimura Danzo's department, they came up with the surname Tamura based on Lord Danzo's surname.

Of course, such self-made surnames were not recognized. In this era, surnames held extraordinary significance and were symbols of status and position; not just anyone could possess one.

Looking at that name, Shimura Danzo, I couldn't help but think of my old friend, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After reminiscing about the days he spent on missions with his old buddies, Danzo Shimura casually flipped through the files, but there wasn't much to see.

Their talents mainly lie in their precocious minds, while their talent in cultivation is quite average, especially this brat.

That girl is very talented in medical ninjutsu, and she may very well reach Tsunade's current level of medical skills in the future. She is a rare talent.

However, he valued the intelligence capabilities of Yakushi Nonou even more. The core of ninja warfare is intelligence warfare, and the establishment of Root was mainly for this purpose.

A single piece of useful information is far more valuable than a Jonin. Konoha is not lacking in geniuses and Jonin; in fact, they have too many.

"Raise his rank to B!"

After reviewing the brat's file, Danzo Shimura gave an order.

Originally, it was just a low-level piece, but now that piece has increased its value on its own, its level naturally has to be raised as well.

"yes!"

The masked ninja beside him responded and then put away the two files.

"Have someone over there contact that brat and have him find out about the Hidden Cloud Village's plans for the war and the progress of their use of the Tailed Beasts."

After thinking for a while, Danzo Shimura gave the order.

He had long seen that the major ninja villages were ready and the Second Shinobi World War was about to begin, but he didn't know where it would start.

The Hidden Cloud Village is a purely martial ninja village. Its leaders are almost all hardline war enthusiasts who advocate plundering from outside. Over the years, they have seized a lot of secret techniques and talents.

If it weren't for traitors like Kinkaku and Ginkaku who severely weakened Kumogakure during the First Shinobi World War, the war wouldn't have ended so easily.

Therefore, the intentions of the Hidden Cloud Village are of utmost importance. The sooner we find out, the better, so that we can make preparations in advance.

Then there are the tailed beasts. He had personally witnessed the terror of the Nine-Tails. Those tailed beast balls were devastating, capable of destroying the world. Once they entered the battlefield, they would be devastating to either side.

Leaving aside Danzo Shimura's orders, on the other side, after the medicinal effects of the bath had fully penetrated his body, Tamura Hiroshi was taken out of the bath tub and received ninjutsu treatment from a medical ninja to accelerate the repair of his bone cracks.

"Is this human?"

With difficulty, Tamura Hao examined the broken tooth in his hand, which he had found at the bottom of the bathtub earlier.

"One of the main ingredients is the bones of the Kaguya clan."

Ye Yue Ai nodded. The main ingredients of that secret medicine were all very rare. This time, they used part of the bones of a Jonin from the Kaguya clan.

In the entire ninja world, only the Kaguya clan has the hardest bones, exceeding the limits of bone structure. That's why medicines made primarily from their bones are so effective at improving bone health.

"Humans are a great medicine too!"

Tamura Hiroshi remarked that he was not opposed to it.

After all, humans are just one of countless living beings. If parts of other animals can be used in medicine, then human parts can naturally be used as well.

Especially since this world has bloodline limits and bloodline inheritance, using these as medicine is much more effective than using wild beasts or ninja beasts.

Perhaps only the species and materials from the three holy lands that possess immortal arts can compare to it.

If needed, he wouldn't mind having a bowl of rice mixed with ashes.

In this world where even terrorists are desperate, only the strong can have dignity and control their own destiny; the weak are not even as good as dogs.

"These are some of my insights into lightning style and a few practical lightning ninjutsu techniques. You can take a look at them in the next few days. If you have any questions, I'll answer them next time we meet."

Fokai took out a scroll that he had prepared beforehand and handed it over. He had seen the student's file before and knew that he only had the lightning attribute, so he prepared this note.

"This is mine. It contains records of the Thunder Torture Level and the advanced Thunder Torture Level, Chiyo Mai."

Ninja battles are ever-changing; there are always times when you don't have time to draw your sword. It's always good to practice more.

Yotsuki Aya took out a scroll he had prepared beforehand and handed it over. Inside were not only his insights into lightning release and body tempering, but also two ninjutsu techniques, Lightning Torture Level and Lightning Torture Level Chiyo Dance, both performed with hand blades.

The consumption of ninjutsu is much less than that of other external ninjutsu, and the most basic lightning rage level consumes even less, only equivalent to a D-rank ninjutsu. With the junior brother's chakra, he can barely learn and perform it if he improves his chakra a little more.

Of course, the prerequisite is to cultivate the nature change of lightning attribute, which is the key point of lightning abuse level, and more attention is paid to nature change.

"Thank you, I will study it carefully!"

Tamura Hiroshi was deeply moved and praised himself for his risky gamble back then.

Earn a fortune!

"By the way, do you want these two ninja swords? I had them made first, but the design didn't quite suit my swordsmanship philosophy, so I had another set made afterward."

Tamura Hao broke the sealing spell from a piece of armor and took out a set of ninja swords sealed inside.

Its design is that of a standard ninja sword from Kumogakure, and it is one meter long, making it very suitable for Yotsuki A and Fukai to use.

These two swords were the first ones he had made. However, this type of ninja sword was not suitable for thrusting, but mainly for slashing. So after using them for a while, they were put away. Instead, he drew the design of the Miao sword and had a new set made.

Fukai, who specializes in swordsmanship, picked up a ninja sword and swung it around. Then he channeled chakra into it, and the gleaming blade flashed with dazzling electric light.

"A fine knife!"

Feeling the smooth flow of chakra within the blade, Fukai's eyes lit up.

This sword is far superior to the one I used before. It must have incorporated more chakra-conducting metal, and the center of gravity of the blade is also very suitable for generating power. It's obviously the work of a master craftsman.

It's a rare and excellent knife!

Yotsuki Ai picked up another ninja sword and brandished it, infusing it with his own lightning chakra, showing great interest in it.

Although he mainly relies on his family's traditions and practices the family's hand-blade technique, which is quite powerful, there are always some limitations in unarmed combat.

If you could have a good knife, that would be even better.

Although this knife is light, weighing less than four pounds, it is perfect for melee combat, which is geared towards bursts of speed.

"This is so precious!"

After examining it for a while, Fukai sheathed the ninja sword and returned it to Tamura Hao.

If it were just an ordinary ninja sword, even one of the excellent quality he had previously acquired, he would have accepted it.

But this ninja sword is no ordinary item; it's estimated to be worth over a hundred million. He can't accept such a valuable gift.
