Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 154 Vajra Ruyi Armor

"You can do it like that?"

The Uchiha girls were quite surprised by this, and they all understood the terrifying potential of that structure. If it were to succeed, it would surely surpass the Yin Seal.

The Yin Seal can indeed store far more chakra than the Yang Seal, but it still has its limits.

However, if this architecture succeeds, it can be stacked infinitely.

Furthermore, the Yang Seal itself can be improved by adding Yin-Yang attribute chakra to perfect it, and then layering it with this structure would make it even more terrifying.

"I hope it will succeed!"

Tamura Hao didn't know if it would work, but now that he had the three-tomoe structure as a safety net, he could at least have three chakra reserves, which was much better than one chakra reserve. He could use it sparingly, and with his own chakra recirculation, he could last a long time as long as he didn't use external ninjutsu.

"Sister Karura, is there any progress on that?"

Turning to look at Gallo, I saw that Gallo had come up with an excited expression, clearly having gained a lot.

"The body you gave me is amazing. It can indeed simulate the three types of Sage Chakra very well, and absorb and harmonize the three types of cells. It has been initially fused together with just some medicine."

Galuro was very excited when he talked about this. The potential of that mysterious body was quite amazing. He achieved his goal after only a few experiments.

"Did it go that smoothly?"

Tamura Hao was surprised. He had used the power of Kaguya and the Ten-Tails to purify and modify the White Zetsu, and even incorporated Wood Release chakra, but he really didn't expect the plan to go so smoothly.

"It's hard to explain, you'll see if you come down with me."

After saying a few words, Karura got up and walked towards the passage. Tamura Hiroshi got up and followed, and the girls naturally followed as well.

Following Karura into the laboratory, Tamura Hiroshi was guided to look at a petri dish with four cell regions on it.

At the very center is a pale cell, clearly a white Zetsu.

There were three colors of cells around: blue ones were from slugs, red ones were from Gamabunta, and purple ones were from Manda. All three types of cells were separated by white Zetsu cells, which were slowly devouring them.

Karura excitedly explained, "These cells are highly corrosive, somewhat similar to the First Hokage cells recorded in the Thousand Hands Forbidden Scroll. That might be an experimental subject from Konoha who conducted First Hokage cell experiments, and was injected with First Hokage cells, thus inheriting this extremely strong corrosiveness."

It can just erode these three types of cells while preserving the most core foundation, which can then be used to maintain the immortal magic seal…”

"Could this new type of cell be used as a medium for sage seals?"

Mikoto Uchiha's eyes sparkled; she coveted the Sage Art Seal, but its corrosive and mutated appearance was unacceptable to her.

However, these white cells don't seem that exaggerated nowadays; they're acceptable if they only make parts of the skin whiter.

Uchiha Hikaru, Uzumaki Kushina, and Uzumaki Vanilla were equally envious; their desire for power was no less than theirs.

"Theoretically, it is possible."

Nodding, Garu had participated in the research and improvement of the Sage Art Seal, focusing on the medium cell.

Therefore, there is a high degree of certainty that this type of cell can serve as a new medium for magical arts.

"Is that not allowed?"

Uchiha Hikaru noticed that Tamura Hiroshi, who was observing the petri dish, looked disappointed, and his gaze also fell on the petri dish.

"Manda and the others' cellular abilities have been weakened a lot, so the amount of Sage Chakra that this cellular medium can produce will also be much less, making it impossible to effectively enhance combat power. However, it is a qualified medium for Sage training."

Furthermore, there's another advantage: the corrosiveness will be greatly reduced, as will the alienation of the body. At the same time, the requirements for using sage-level spell seals will be significantly lowered; perhaps even reaching the Kage level would be sufficient.

After observing for a while, Tamura Hao gave an explanation.

He could sense that the compatibility between the three types of cells that had been devoured and fused by the White Zetsu cells and natural energy had greatly decreased. As a result, the Sage Chakra that could be extracted from the Sage Seal after it was formed would inevitably be much weaker.

As expected, you can't have your cake and eat it too; I was too naive before.

However, it also achieved some of its goals. The weakened medium is better able to popularize the Sage Art Seal, and it can be carried when it reaches the Kage level.

"As long as it can be used to cultivate immortal arts, that's fine."

Uchiha Hikari didn't care much; what she valued was the Sage Art itself. After all, the Sage Art seal was just a transitional aid to cultivation, and it would be discarded once the Sage Art was mastered.

The first step in cultivating immortal arts is to sense the natural energy around you. Without a medium, it is too difficult to sense it on your own. I still can't feel it, so I can only rely on immortal arts incantations.

Tamura Hao didn't care too much about this. He wanted to use this opportunity to study the essence of the three immortal techniques and integrate these advantages into his own immortal techniques in the future.

Immortal spells and incantations are fine as a foundation, but they obviously can't be used indefinitely. Ultimately, one must cultivate immortal techniques independently.

"It's already turned out like this!"

Tamura Hao turned his head to look at the ape demon on the experimental table not far away, whose appearance had changed drastically. At this moment, all the hair on the ape demon's body had fallen off, revealing a body covered in purple snake scales, and even its face was covered with snake scales.

"Its body is very strong and it can absorb some natural energy on its own, and it has a certain resistance to Sage Chakra."

Currently, the highest compatibility with Manda's cells and Sage Chakra is achieved, but this is limited to the erosion of the skin. Some of the Sage Chakra from the slug and toad has been integrated into the body, which has slightly increased the body's strength and given it a weak self-healing ability.

The white body cells autonomously integrated into the internal organs, activating them. Based on my observation, this seemed to form a kind of internal circulation, perhaps eliminating the need for food and intravenous nutrition to maintain physiological functions.

Karura explained that compared to that pale, strange body, this ape demon was of little value.

Moreover, the source of its physical strength lies primarily in its bloodline, which cannot be replicated. This fact was already understood by the research department, so there is no point in continuing to study it.

"That's better."

Tamura Hiroshi was very satisfied with this result; it was exactly what he wanted.

He knew the effects of White Zetsu cells. In the future, after Obito Uchiha received White Zetsu cells and Hashirama cells, he wouldn't need to eat anymore, as those cells would be enough to sustain his body's needs.

He stepped forward and placed his palm on the Enma's body, merging his own chakra with it and using the Frog Transformation technique he learned from Jiraiya. This caused the Enma's chakra to circulate, and the Enma transformed into a huge shield covered with purple snake scales.

The level of Enma's transformation technique is quite high, far surpassing the illusionary techniques learned in ninja academies; it involves a deep level of transformation.

For example, in Hiruzen Sarutobi's hands, it becomes the Vajra Staff, which not only further enhances its indestructible properties but also allows for further transformations, such as becoming thicker and longer, even capable of knocking away a giant like the Nine-Tails.

What Tamura Hao values ​​is the Enma's transformation ability and indestructible nature, but what he really wants is not the shield or the Vajra Staff, but the battle armor.

"You want to use it to turn into new armor?"

Uchiha Hikari seemed to be deep in thought. During their sparring session on Turtle Island, she used her lightning blade to nearly destroy this shameless villain's light armor. At that time, the villain said he wanted to get a new set.

But when the sword was forged later, it was not found. Could it be that what was mentioned at the time was this ape demon?

"A suit of armor is far more complex than a staff and shield; it's impossible to transform into that."

Mikoto Uchiha understood, but didn't believe it could succeed.

Transformation techniques have their limits, especially deep transformations like this. Transforming into a single unit is possible, but transforming into armor composed of numerous parts is absolutely impossible.

"Who says it's impossible?"

Tamura Hao, who was experimenting with the shield defense, smiled, then transformed the shield back into the body of the Monkey King, and then connected the chakra threads to the Monkey King to perform deep manipulation.

This is a deep-level application technique of chakra threads that he learned from Sasori, which can be used to control the human body.

Controlling the monkey demon to raise its hand and form hand seals, and guiding the flow of chakra within its body to unleash a ninjutsu.

"Multiple Splitting Technique!"

In an instant, the ape demon's body split into three hundred and sixty-five smaller ape demons of varying sizes. This was a new technique developed by Tamura Hao, based on the splitting technique of Iwagakure Village and combined with the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, specifically created for the ape demon.

The Split Technique is a secret technique of the Second Tsuchikage, which allows the body to be split in two. This is a real body, not an energy clone made of chakra.

This ninjutsu is pretty useless on its own, but when combined with Enma's indestructible body that allows him to transform, it becomes completely different.

In addition, Tamura Hao had previously used the power of Kaguya and the Ten-Tails to refine Enma, and he also imprinted the Eight Thousand Spears mark on Enma, making it highly compatible with his body and chakra, which allowed for precise guidance and control.

First, manipulate a pre-selected ape demon clone to transform it into a chest armor, then a back armor, an abdominal armor, and so on.

The armor on the torso alone was composed of eighty-five modules, and it also consumed eighty-five ape demon clones of different sizes.

With so many modules, it can provide both strong defense and extreme flexibility, without hindering the body's movement.

He then used different methods to transform the various sizes of the ape demon clones into a complete set of armor that almost completely covered his entire body.

How afraid of death are you?!

Looking at the person who took half an hour to complete the armor transformation, Uchiha Mikoto gave her a disdainful look, but her gaze was fixed on the armor.

How can there be such cool armor? I really want a set of it.

The other four women were also admiring the armor, which was predominantly gold with purple snake scale patterns, making it mysterious and noble. Its design was so perfect that it was hard to resist.

Tamura Hao referenced the various Saint Cloth designs from the neighboring Saint Seiya series when designing this armor, striving to achieve both aesthetic appeal and defensive capabilities.

He had been conceiving the armor design for a long time, and had even secretly created a model, which is why the combination and transformation are now going so smoothly.

With this suit of armor, you can charge into battle with confidence.

"Clang!"

Uchiha Hikaru suddenly drew the Ame-no-Murakumo sword, its blade flashing with crimson light, preparing to test the armor's defensive capabilities.

"Stop! What are you doing?"

Tamura Hao was horrified when he used the Instant Step to retreat, his forehead covered in black lines.

Is this girl trying to murder me?

"Can't it be stopped?"

Uchiha Hikaru was slightly disappointed, as he had thought he could defend against the sharpness of the Ama-no-Murakumo sword.

"Your knife is no good!"

Tamura Hiroshi glared at it; that knife was really no good.

That can even cut through space; the armor the ape demon transformed into definitely couldn't withstand it.

"Darling, can you get me a set of armor like this too?"

Kushina Uzumaki clung to her fiancé's arm, pleading, her eyes almost red with envy.

This armor is so cool!

Vanilla Uzumaki's eyes were also sparkling. Although Mikoto Uchiha and Hikaru Uchiha didn't say anything, their eyes, fixed on the armor, said it all.

Even Garuda couldn't help but admire the armor; it was so beautiful, like a work of art.

"Use your merit points to apply for monkeys of the ape clan. I will help you revitalize and modify them. Then you can use chakra to nurture them. I will teach you the Multiple Split Technique and the Armor Transformation Technique."

I'll only teach in my room at night, so remember to come!

Tamura Hao did not refuse. These girls would also be going to the battlefield later, and having a set of armor to protect him would give him peace of mind.

This is my core team for the future; losing even one of them would be devastating.

Fortunately, when Raikage invaded the ape tribe's territory, he only paralyzed many powerful and talented apes with black lightning, without killing them. There are quite a few monkeys locked up in the research department now, which can be used to create this kind of armor.

Of course, this wasn't taught for nothing; at the very least, I have to come over and be my sleeping pillow.

There was no way around it; Tamura Hitomi had lacked a sense of security since childhood, especially when he was sleeping. He was always on edge and needed someone to be with him.

"Shameless!"

Kushina Uzumaki muttered something, but she didn't loosen her grip on her arms; she absolutely needed that kind of armor.

Whirlpool vanilla wouldn't refuse either, and even wished she could snuggle in her owner's arms every day.

Hikaru Uchiha and Mikoto Uchiha remained silent, but their gazes as they examined the armor did not diminish in the slightest.

Even Garu's eyes were gleaming. If she could have this kind of armor, combined with the puppet prosthetics, her movements would be much more free.

"It can probably last for three hours, but it will definitely be much shorter if it is attacked."

While adapting and adjusting the Vajra Ruyi Armor, Tamura Hao kept an eye on the time. Three hours later, when the chakra within the Monkey King's body was depleted to a certain extent, he voluntarily deactivated the transformation technique, and the split body quickly retracted and merged back.

Maintaining the transformation technique requires chakra, which is mainly borne by Enma himself.

"Adding the Yang Seal structure should further extend its usage time."

After examining the ape demon that had been restored to its original form, Tamura Hao was quite satisfied. He then put it into the sealing space so that the little ten-tailed beast could continue to be nurtured with chakra and Grell's energy.

With this suit of armor, I can go into battle with peace of mind.

"You intend to integrate the Ape Demon into a celestial magic seal?"

Looking at the two purple dragons, Karura guessed what the boy was thinking.

The armor just now didn't cover the two dragons, so Haojun shouldn't have left such a flaw. Therefore, there must be a further plan.

"I plan to use the Ghost Sprout Technique to fuse the ape demon into it, so that it can be more compatible with me."

Tamura Hiroshi didn't hide this from anyone; he would need Karura's help next.

This is inspired by the route taken by Hyuga Kagami from the other side, but while Hyuga Kagami increases compatibility through cloning, I use Sage Art Seals to increase it.

The immortal magic seal was used to erode the ape demon's body, and then the immortal magic seal was used as a medium to fuse with it.

Immortal spells and seals are merely a transitional thing; once one cultivates to Immortal Mode, they become useless.

However, it cannot be abandoned. Firstly, the sealed heart of the ten thousand serpents is still useful to me, serving as the foundation for the Seven-Day Breathing Technique.

Secondly, the twin dragon forms on its back can greatly assist in combat and have a high level of sophistication, so it would be a shame to give them up.

Therefore, he wanted to transform it into armor and then perfect it with immortal magic seals so that he could quickly put it on by simply activating the immortal magic seals in the future.

At the same time, by using the Ghost Sprout Technique to fuse with the Monkey Demon, the Cursed Seal Twin Dragons can also obtain that indestructible characteristic, so there is no need to worry about them being cut off.

For example, the Black Dragon Heaven next door was quite pathetic, as he actually had one of his dragon heads chopped off by a greatsword master who was much weaker than him.

While its arrogance led to its misbehavior, the Black Dragon's insufficient defense also played a role.

I can't repeat the same mistake; I must upgrade the defense of the twin dragons.

"I've seen the Ghost Sprout Technique before, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Karura pondered for a moment and nodded. Her current status in the village was not low, and she had participated in many medical-related research experiments.

The village that holds the secret technique of Oni-Garuru has an independent research group that she participated in, mainly responsible for cellular-level compatibility research, and she has some knowledge of that secret technique.

With the aid of immortal magic seals, plus the cellular characteristics of that white body and Haojun's Eight Thousand Spears Pupil Technique, there shouldn't be any major problems.

After all, it wasn't Haojun himself who was fusing, but rather the fusion of the immortal spell seal. Essentially, it was a fusion between the cells of those spirit beasts. Coincidentally, all four of them had natural energy, which was a good point of convergence.

"Is this a way to transfer the side effects of the cursed seal's corrosive effects onto the armor?"

Kushina Uzumaki saw another layer of intention: this was to transfer the side effects of the Sage Art Seal's corrosive and mutated nature.

The amplification from the Immortal Art Seal is indeed very strong, but at a deeper level it will cause the body to undergo a mutated reaction, and may even eventually lead to a complete mutation.

One aspect is the threat to life, and the other is that it's too ugly; the deeper the alienation, the uglier it becomes.

But if it's transformed into that kind of armor, it doesn't matter, and it can even form exquisite patterns.

So cool!

"We have this idea, but it still needs further research and refinement."

Tamura Hiroshi nodded; he did indeed want to do that.

Although the mutation of the Immortal Art Seal greatly enhances physical attributes, it still has its limits, far inferior to the true Immortal Mode, and is not very stable.

But it would be a waste to abandon it like that, so the solution he came up with was to fuse the armor together, thereby enhancing the armor's functions and performance.

This requires support from multiple parties. For example, we could incorporate the chakra armor technology from the Land of Snow, which would enhance the wearer's strength. Also, the ninja tool forging technology from the Craftsman Village is quite interesting.

"My armor needs to be sculpted to be even more beautiful."

Uchiha Hikaru declared that she was determined to have this armor, and she was willing to sleep with it for a few more nights.

Anyway, I've already slept with him, and I even got life force from that shameless scoundrel, so it's not a bad deal.

"I want one too."

Uchiha Mikoto also spoke up, saying, "You've slept with me so many times, you have to design a perfect suit of armor for me."

"Come to my room tonight to help me measure your body data."

Tamura Hao spoke with a straight face, but the girls couldn't help but roll their eyes at him; he was too shameless.
