Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 15 Thor's Sword

Tamura Hao did not accept it, but said, "Teacher, please accept it. I damaged your ninja sword blade before, so this sword is a good compensation."

Moreover, we will inevitably have to leave the village to carry out missions in the future. If we encounter danger, having a good knife will help protect me better.

"Then consider it as me lending it to the teacher temporarily, and the teacher can return it to me when they no longer need it."

Seeing that Fauci remained resolute, Tamura changed his tune, saying it was a temporary loan.

"Take it. You'll likely face great danger in the future, and war is not far off."

Ayane, standing nearby, offered a word of advice, causing Fukai to hesitate for a moment before finally accepting the ninja sword.

He could tell from Ye Yue Ai's words that there was a hidden meaning; clearly, there was likely to be great danger in the future, and it was related to that student. Therefore, it was necessary to improve his strength.

"I will protect my students. Anyone who wants to harm you will have to step over my dead body first!"

With a solemn promise, although Fukai still had many doubts about this student, the importance that Yotsuki Ai and Lord Raikage had previously shown was enough to demonstrate the student's significance, and he could not afford to lose him!

These words made Tamura Hao's eyelids twitch. He thought of the supreme curse from the Douluo Continent next door, a curse that could rival the Great Dao of Curse, Fellow Daoist, "Please Stay!"

Fortunately, this world also has methods of resurrection, such as the Rinnegan. If I were to unfortunately die in the future, would my teacher say something like, "Resurrect my disciple!"

"I'll borrow this knife for now. Just ask if you need it in the future."

Leaving aside the person who was overthinking things, Yotsuki Ai accepted the ninja sword and made a generous promise to Tamura Hao.

Tamura Hao was very satisfied with this. The favors of the future Fourth Raikage were very valuable, far more valuable than a ninja sword.

After talking with Ye Yue Ai for a while and feeling a bit better, Tamura Hao finally hobbled back with his cane.

A fractured bone is not easy to heal, not to mention that you have to wait for the medicine to work and the bone to integrate deeply.

The bones are only partially healed under the influence of medical ninjutsu, and their strength is far less than before, so one has to walk very carefully.

Back home, Tamura Hao lay down on his bed and took out the scrolls of Yotsuki Ai and Fukai, unfolding them to first read their training notes on the nature and form of lightning-attribute chakra, which was exactly what he needed.

The original Naruto manga showed how to train the Wind Release nature transformation, but it didn't explain how to train the Lightning Release nature transformation.

There were no specific methods in the ninja academy or library, so he could only try to figure it out on his own by reading snippets of information in some books. This was inefficient, and he didn't even get started.

Now that I have two people who specialize in Lightning Release and both have the cultivation insights of Jonin who have inherited secret techniques, it's like a godsend for me.

Lightning attribute nature transformation is currently the only training path that can rapidly improve his strength. He even wants to see if he can use it to develop the future Chidori of Kakashi Hatake and the Chidori system of Sasuke Uchiha.

Even if the full version cannot be used due to the limitation of chakra, the low-end version will also be fine.

This is where the "Golden Finger" comprehension skill comes into play, making his cultivation in this area twice as effective with half the effort.

Before Tamura Hao could even study and cultivate the nature changes of lightning attribute, an uninvited guest came knocking.

"Master Ninja, here is the ramen you ordered."

A middle-aged man stood outside the door, holding a large bowl of packaged ramen in one hand, while making several subtle hand gestures with the other.

After seeing those hand gestures, Tamura Hiroshi realized that it was Shimura Danzo... no, it was Danzo-sama who sent them.

"Come in!"

Tamura Hao glanced outside a few times without making a sound, then stepped aside to let the middle-aged man in and took the ramen from his hands.

The middle-aged man didn't say much, and stepped into the room. When his footsteps touched the carpet, Tamura Hao noticed something was wrong.

"Shadow clones? How cautious."

The other person's feet did not press down on the carpet, as if they had no weight. Clearly, the other person either possessed a ninjutsu that allowed them to fly and levitate, or they were not made of flesh and blood. The latter was more likely.

"Lord Danzo has ordered that you do your utmost to investigate the Hidden Cloud Village's plans for the upcoming war, especially their strategic plots against the Land of Fire."

In addition, there is the investigation into the progress of Kumogakure's utilization of the Tailed Beasts, which must be completed.

The middle-aged man didn't waste any words and relayed the order from above.

"I want the Second Hokage's Thunder God Sword."

Tamura Hiroshi also didn't waste any words and stated his conditions.

The nature transformation of lightning is not easy to cultivate; even Yoruichi and Fukai took more than five years to successfully cultivate it.

In the future, Naruto Uzumaki will also need to use countless shadow clones and a massive amount of chakra to train with cheat codes.

Although he has a cheat code that enhances his comprehension, he won't go too far. After all, he's not like Deep Blue next door, who can't be given extra points to solve problems. He estimates that he'll need at least a year of arduous training.

This is still too slow. He wants to complete the cultivation faster, so he can only rely on some external forces.

In response, he thought of some ninja tools, such as the Banana Fan that Kinkaku and Ginkaku once possessed, which could transform the user's chakra into five elements: wind, lightning, water, fire, and earth, essentially achieving nature transformation.

Unfortunately, the Banana Leaf Fan was sealed by Kinkaku and Ginkaku before their deaths. Unless it is resurrected through Impure World Reincarnation, the Third Raikage could only snatch one Amber Bottle.

Then there's the Second Hokage's Thunder God Sword; if one could obtain it and change its nature, it would definitely be twice as effective.

But this act of making demands made the middle-aged man's face turn cold. How dare he, Danzo's subordinate, make demands? Did he have a death wish?

"I need to find ways to protect myself and improve my strength so that I can climb higher in Kumogakure and become more valuable to Lord Danzo."

Tamura Hiroshi appeared calm, but his attitude was very serious and resolute, and he devoured the ramen very quickly.

This explanation made the middle-aged man frown, but he didn't know how to refute it.

He didn't know anything about the Thunder God Sword, but since it was the Second Hokage's weapon, it must be extraordinary. In addition, with the existence of the Senju clan, even with Danzo's abilities, it would probably be difficult for him to obtain it.

"I will report your words to Lord Danzo. You'd better get some valuable information."

The middle-aged man gave the boy in front of him a deep look, said something, and left decisively.

His current job is as a food delivery driver, so he can't stay here for long.

"Throw this and the trash bag by the door away. You've been here too long; you need to add some disguise."

Also, I didn't like your tone and look. As punishment, bring over some barbecue next time.

Tamura finished his noodle soup, handed over the empty bowl and the sealed lid, pointed to the trash bag by the door, and suggested that he deliver barbecue next time.

There's no direct hotline to Danzo to report him yet, otherwise this guy would have been eliminated long ago.

The person who came to make contact only brought a bowl of cheap ramen as a package, which clearly shows that he pocketed the funds distributed by Lord Danzo.

Such corrupt individuals are like termites at the root of the problem, obstacles to Lord Danzo's path to becoming Hokage, and must be eliminated.

The middle-aged man was exasperated, but he still picked up the trash bag placed by the door and left.

He had never seen such an arrogant and petty little spy!

However, they were lucky enough to come into contact with the core members of Kumogakure, which makes them even more valuable in Danzo's eyes.

"Lord Danzo, please don't disappoint me!"

After the middle-aged man left, Tamura Hiroshi murmured to himself, expressing both high expectations and great confidence in his former boss.

After all, that's a pot shadow!

Then, as night fell, I put on my clothes and shoes and went out to the nearest bathhouse.

Now that Lord Danzo has sent someone to make contact and given orders, he naturally cannot let Lord Danzo down and must obtain the relevant information as soon as possible.

For this, we'll need to contact Lord Tsuchidai. That bathhouse is the contact point we discussed with him.

I believe that Lord Tsuchita will be very interested in this, and may even take this opportunity to hatch some schemes.

As a skilled semi-double agent, one must be clear about one's true position without any ambiguity.
