Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 155 The Immortal Emperor - Danzo

After a long and tiring night, the next morning, Tamura Hao reassembled his Vajra Ruyi Armor and went straight to the Raikage's office.

The Third Raikage and the others who were discussing matters all turned their gazes to the suit of armor, deeply shocked, and then filled with envy, jealousy and hatred.

"When did you forge this suit of armor? How come we didn't know?"

Ye Yue Ai's eyes reddened, and her heart was filled with longing.

When Fukai looked at his student's incredibly gorgeous armor and then at his own Jonin uniform, he instantly lost interest and felt the same longing.

Even the Third Raikage couldn't help but look at his own uniform, and compared to it, it had no prestige whatsoever.

"Wearing this on the battlefield will get you shot."

Tu Tai expressed his sour opinion, disagreeing with this style of armor.

This kid's old light armor was fine, but this one is too conspicuous; it makes him want to punch him.

"Our Hidden Cloud Village ninjas are not afraid of being targeted by the enemy."

Tamura Hao had an air of pride on his face, the pride that belonged to the people of Kumogakure.

Yotsuki A and Fukai wholeheartedly agreed. Their Hidden Cloud Village had a different style of combat than other ninja villages, and they were more adept at frontal assaults, so they weren't afraid of this.

Even though the Third Raikage nodded slightly in agreement, his fighting style was to directly confront the enemy head-on. If he had such a suit of armor, he would definitely have a more Kage-like aura.

I just don't know how well this thing defends itself.

Thinking this way, and doing this, he picked up the Hell Spear leaning against the side, gathered black lightning, and swung it across Tamura Hao's breastplate, leaving a shallow mark.

"good!"

Looking at the faint mark, the Third Raikage approved.

It would take him at least all his strength to break through that defense, and that kid is still as afraid of death as ever.

Startled by the sudden attack, Tamura Hiroshi was taken aback. He quickly looked down and breathed a sigh of relief when he found it was just a shallow mark.

Moreover, the mark is slowly healing. This is due to the slug's magical properties. Although it was well-developed, it also gained some slight self-healing ability.

"This chakra, is it from the Monkey King you extracted yesterday? How can it become so complex?"

The earthen platform also noticed the slowly recovering marks, and was surprised after carefully sensing them.

This armor contains chaotic chakra, but the main body belongs to that monkey demon.

He knew about Enma's information; he could perform ninjutsu by forming hand seals, and his specialty was advanced transformation techniques.

Transforming into the Vajra Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff) and working in conjunction with the Third Hokage is extremely powerful in battle.

I never expected that the Ape Demon could transform into such a complex suit of armor; it's just too outrageous.

"This is my idea and the secret technique for coordination. It's still in its early stages and needs to be perfected through the village's operation."

Tamura Hao handed the prepared scroll to the Third Raikage, which contained the Multiple Split Technique and the Transformation Technique, as well as the overall strategy and requirements.

The Third Raikage quickly reviewed the text, focusing on his subsequent thoughts and needs.

After reading it, he handed it to Tu Tai and pondered it himself.

After carefully examining the boy, Tu Tai began to speculate about his thoughts.

"You've got your eye on the Snow Country's chakra armor project and the ninja tool manufacturing in Takumi Village?"

"We need these, especially the Snow Country's Chakra Armor project. I just don't know if they have a finished product yet."

Nodding, Tamura Hao valued the Snow Country's Chakra Armor Project the most.

According to the information obtained last time, the Snow Country's plan for the chakra armor was still just a general one, and no finished product had appeared yet. It's unknown whether there has been any progress after so much time has passed.

Tsuchikage looked at the Third Raikage, and after seeing him nod, said, "I will take care of this matter."

This armor project is very useful and must be fully supported in its development and improvement so that the village's important figures can be better protected on the battlefield.

"Among the ape race, is strength always better?"

After glancing at the scroll behind the earthen platform, Ye Yue Ai was already thinking about picking out monkeys later.

I never thought that the ape clan could have such a way of operating, but now that I know, I naturally have to pick one quickly.

Judging from the plan, it seems that the foundation is that monkey, which determines the armor's defensive limit. I wonder if it can be improved through training.

"Naturally, the stronger the better. This aspect can be cultivated and improved, and self-cultivation is the best option."

My idea is to fuse it with the Cursed Seal and the Demon Sprout Technique, forming a symbiotic state with myself, using my own chakra to drive the enhancement…”

Tamura Hao explained his thoughts, stating that he was not satisfied with the current level of the Ape Demon and needed to further improve it so that its defensive power could become stronger and stronger.

The essence of the summoning beast enhancement of the Monkey King lies in the use of natural energy and earth-attribute chakra, and the foundation of the enhancement lies in its own bloodline ability. Only the combination of the two can create that indestructible body.

He planned to assist the ape demon in perfectly devouring and fusing the immortal powers of the three holy lands, using the immortal techniques of the three holy lands as a foundation to propel the ape demon into an immortal form, or even to cultivate into an immortal mode like the immortals of the three holy lands.

In addition, there is Grell energy and the bio-modification technology recorded in the Book of Grell, which can also be applied to the ape demon.

Once they have mastered these techniques, they will use the World Tree to create an Eternal Well and develop this technology in the village.

"I'm going to choose a monkey."

Ye Yue Ai couldn't hold back any longer and immediately walked outside.

After bowing to the Third Raikage and Tsuchikage, Fukai quickly followed.

"Whether it is powerful or not is secondary; the key is compatibility and potential."

Tamura Hao called out to remind the two how to choose. He himself had no such concerns and could simply use the chakra of the Ten-Tails to cleanse and purify it. With the help of the Ten-Tails, he could achieve a good compatibility with Enma.

But others don't have this kind of advantage, so you have to be more careful when choosing someone, focusing on compatibility and potential.

"Large-scale cultivation is required, which will be another expense."

Looking at the scroll on his desk, and then at the dazzlingly ornate armor of someone else, Tsuchida knew it was time to start an ape breeding program.

By artificially breeding new monkeys, whether through cloning or other methods, the goal is to increase their numbers and supply them to the village's ninjas.

In the future, it should at least be popularized to the Jonin level, so that missions can be carried out more safely.

This research will certainly be very costly. Although the village has had considerable income over the years, especially with the entertainment city project providing a lot of money, the expenses are also significant. Each project requires a large investment of money, and now another one has been added.

"You should be able to withstand the Heavenly Delivery Technique now."

The Third Raikage suddenly asked, "This kid's physical strength is not bad. This time, he used the Real Waterfall to train and broke through to the Kage level. He can train the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, which should be enough to withstand the load of the Heavenly Delivery Technique."

"It is necessary to activate the Immortal Magic Seal to ensure that it remains intact."

Tamura Hao nodded. He could indeed now bear the Heavenly Gift Technique, and was even learning it.

The Heavenly Gift Technique is a secret technique, not a bloodline limit. Theoretically, it can be learned, but it is extremely difficult.

Even though there are only two people in the Hidden Cloud Village who know the Heavenly Delivery Technique, they have bloodline inheritance and their chakra is somewhat special.

However, he has already absorbed some of the two people's chakra, which he can simulate using the Ten-Tails.

Once one masters the Heavenly Gift Technique, one will have another means of saving one's life.

Moreover, in his view, the Heavenly Gift Technique is the ultimate Thunder Instantaneous Body Technique. If one were to cultivate the Thunder Instantaneous Body Technique to that level, one would be virtually invincible.

Then I, Tamura Hitomi, will have another title—The Flash!

"Some time ago, a group of mysterious people attacked Hell Valley and kidnapped some members of the Blood Pond Clan. The Uchiha ninja guarding the valley were also kidnapped."

The lord was furious and ordered us to hunt down the Blood Pool Clan members who had escaped. We secretly protected those Blood Pool Clan members who managed to escape in the chaos.

I discussed this with the Third Raikage, and after the Third Shinobi World War, we'll arrange for some of the Blood Pool Clan members to wipe out the Daimyo's residence under the guise of revenge.

Tu Tai rolled up the scroll and brought up another matter, wanting to hear the kid's thoughts on it.

This kid is an outstanding talent cultivated by Shimura Danzo. His ideas are all incredibly insidious, and perhaps he can provide some unique inspiration.

"Why do we have to clean up the Daimyo's prefecture? Couldn't we just ask Lord Danzo to do it?"

Tamura Hao asked in surprise, "Isn't Lord Danzo's reputation as the scapegoat enough?"

Why don't you guys include Lord Danzo in your party?

These words silenced Tsuchida, and the Third Raikage cast a puzzled look at him.

Would Danzo Shimura do such a thing?

Tamura Hiroshi continued to recount the script he had written for Lord Danzo, saying it was time to bring it out.

"Long ago, there were not many countries on the continent. The highest ruler of each country was called the Son of Heaven. Afterwards, the continent experienced endless wars, and various forces carved up their own territories, eventually gradually forming the current situation dominated by five major powers."

Therefore, not only should the ninja world be unified, but all countries should also be unified. The person who accomplishes this unprecedented feat should be called the Emperor, surpassing the emperors of ancient times.

Lord Danzo must have such ambitions. We should assist Lord Danzo in eliminating the first obstacle, namely the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, so that Lord Danzo can establish the first ninja country, call himself Emperor, and usher in the era of ninja countries.

At that time, the daimyo and daimyo prefectures of various countries will surely be terrified and drive our ninja villages to besiege the Land of Fire and prevent the arrival of the Ninja Era.

Lord Danzo anticipated this and struck first, sending men to wipe out the daimyo prefectures of the major countries, plunging them into chaos and preventing them from immediately organizing forces to besiege them.

However, some people from various daimyo prefectures escaped thanks to the desperate protection of our ninja village, and then immediately gathered all the resources of their respective countries to assist our ninja village in attacking Konoha.

Everyone knows that our Hidden Cloud Village has the best relationship with the Daimyo's Mansion, and we were the first to respond to the call, sending out all our elite forces to attack the Hidden Leaf Village.

Other ninja villages also joined the attack, severely damaging Konoha. Even when Lord Danzo used the Impure World Reincarnation to resurrect the army of the dead, he failed, and those armies of the dead were eventually sealed away.

Left with no other choice, Lord Danzo led his remaining forces to flee overseas. After the war, the daimyo no longer trusted our ninja village and plotted to destroy us. Forced into a corner, we had no choice but to rebel, establish the second ninja nation in the world, and march into the chaotic Land of Fire, conquer it, and establish the Raiyun Ninja ...

Lord Raikage considered himself inferior to Lord Danzo, who had ushered in the era of the Ninja Kingdom. To express his respect for Lord Danzo, he avoided the title of Emperor and instead adopted the title of Heavenly Emperor, calling himself the Thunder Emperor. Thus, the era of the Ninja Kingdom and the rule of the Heavenly Emperor truly began.

The latter part is not fixed and depends on the situation. For example, if the Raikage secretly poisons the Daimyo and is critically injured, Aegis will go berserk and kill the Daimyo, slaughter all the nobles in the country, confiscate their property, establish the Raiun Ninja Kingdom and develop it vigorously, and then naturally start the firearms plan.

Ai-ge was younger and more radical in his thinking. He led the ninja army to swallow up the Land of Fire and many small countries around it in one fell swoop, and even parts of the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind. He occupied the most advantageous terrain and built the Great Wall defense line...

Tamura Hiroshi believes the script is quite perfect and its allure is definitely not small.

Although the daimyo is now the highest ruler of a country, the word daimyo itself simply means lord, so the rulers of smaller countries also hold the title of daimyo.

This is similar to those feudal lords in ancient times, who could not be considered emperors. The title of Emperor would definitely be a great temptation for Lord Danzo.

He even had a specific title in mind: the Immortal Emperor, which corresponds to Izanagi, a technique that Lord Danzo was skilled at using, and that is true immortality.

Afterwards, we'll forge an immortal sword for Lord Danzo, so that his beautiful swordsmanship won't be wasted.

Upon hearing the script, Tsuchida's face contorted in shock, and for a moment he was at a loss for words.

The Third Raikage's face twitched, but thinking of the title "Thunder Emperor," he felt it was clearly more prestigious than the current Raikage's title.

"It's quite difficult to operate."

After a long while, Tu Tai finally managed to smooth out his distorted expression, pinched the bridge of his nose, and admitted that the plan was much better than the one he had devised before.

The creation of the Ninja Kingdom system was no small matter and would inevitably face enormous pressure. His original idea was to rely on the powerful legion cultivated by the firearms project and many other plans to sweep everything aside. Although there would definitely be considerable losses in the end, it was still acceptable.

But the script this kid provided was on a much higher level, completely different from the others, so it goes without saying how to choose.

By then, after the Third Shinobi World War and the Konoha Ninja War, the other ninja villages will be mostly crippled, and there will be much less resistance when they take action.

However, it is too difficult to implement and requires careful planning.

"Lord Tsuchidai, you are known as the greatest sage of our Hidden Cloud Village. This little plan is certainly no challenge for you."

Tamura Hao changed his tune and flattered him, saying that he was willing to provide ideas, but not the details of the operation, which should be handled by professionals.

"roll!"

Tu Tai responded with a "get lost," and the thought of the increased bounty on his head caused by this brat made him want to kill someone.

Moreover, after the immortal tree from that world was transplanted here, his bounty increased again, reaching 500 million taels.

Is there any justice in this world?

"Okay!"

Tamura Hao readily agreed and quickly left the Raikage's office, as the voices of the former three Raikages echoed from behind.

Design an armor like that for me too.

The Third Raikage was also envious of that magnificent armor. Although he possessed the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, which provided formidable defense, he was not invincible. It wouldn't hurt to enhance his defense.

Not to mention that it's such magnificent armor; once worn, it will definitely make one the most dazzling presence on the entire battlefield.

Of course, he wasn't doing this to show off; he simply wanted to attract the enemy's attention and relieve some of the pressure on the village's ninjas.

This is his resolve as the Raikage, truly!

"Shimura Danzo was a good person, and a capable one at that."

Looking at the closed office door, the Third Raikage smiled, feeling very fortunate to have taken this disciple as his disciple, as he had brought about so many changes and improvements to the village.

Otherwise, if that kid becomes an enemy, he will definitely be a nightmare for the village.

Danzo Shimura was a truly great man; he nurtured such talent and sent him to Kumogakure.

"He's a menace; none of the people Shimura Danzo trained are good."

Tu Tai grumbled gloomily, lamenting that he had been thoroughly screwed over by that kid.

"Your strength should also be improved. According to the current research on cursed seals, you can integrate the flesh and blood of bloodline ninjas into it as a special medium to obtain the chakra of bloodline limits."

We also have the corpses of Lava Release ninjas; that kind of Lava Release is far more powerful than your rubber stuff.

When the Third Raikage mentioned Tsuchikage's improved strength, he said that as his assistant, Tsuchikage's strength couldn't be low.

Furthermore, the bounty offered by the Earth God in the underground gold exchange is higher than his own, which is quite dangerous. Improving his strength is of utmost urgency.

There is a shortcut in this regard. The product of Earth Platform's Lava Release is rubber, while the most powerful Lava Release is in the form of lava. This type of Lava Release exists in Iwagakure, and they have already obtained a specimen.

Both are melting elements with similar properties, so they should be able to blend well and guide the rubber melting transformation of the soil platform. Ideally, both melting elements should be present simultaneously.

"After I finish what I'm doing, I'll get the Lava Release seal implanted."

Tu Tai also attaches great importance to improving his own strength, lest one day someone cut off his head and put a bounty on his head.

"We can explore the Shimura Danzo storyline further. You can figure it out yourself. If necessary, I can step in and help out."

The conversation then turned to Danzo Shimura. After listening to the script, he realized that he hadn't paid enough attention to Danzo Shimura's storyline before, as it had great potential to be explored.

"Yes, Lord Raikage, I will make the arrangements."

Tu Tai received the order and took it equally seriously.

That plan was good, but it required a lot of groundwork beforehand, at least to allow Shimura Danzo to wield more power in Konoha, and even become Hokage.

"The waters of the ninja world are still too deep. Taking over the Land of Fire and the surrounding small countries is already the limit of the patience of those forces and super-powerful beings. They still need to accumulate more strength."

The Third Raikage looked up at the map hanging on the wall, longing to unify the entire world in one fell swoop, as no other ninja village could stand against them.

Unfortunately, other powerful forces are also hidden in the shadows of this world. The Otsutsuki clan on the moon is a mysterious force that studies technology. Not only is the force itself powerful, but it also has super strong individuals.

Not to mention the Sage of Six Paths, who has been hidden for thousands of years. The Sage of Six Paths is a legendary being with the power to change the world.

The chakra that the ninjas refined and used over the past thousand years was most likely taken away by the other side. The accumulation over a thousand years is unimaginable and is something they could never contend with.

"Taking down the most prosperous Land of Fire and the surrounding small countries is enough. After the Ninja Era begins, we will have the most and best resources to develop ourselves, and our speed of improvement will be unmatched by other ninja villages."

Not to mention, we made preparations early on, so development will be even faster.

The Earth Emperor was relatively optimistic. They thought that taking over the Land of Fire was good enough, and their initial goal was even just to take over the Land of Lightning.

Only by establishing the Ninja Kingdom could they mobilize the resources of the entire country to develop themselves, a feat far beyond what is currently possible.

At present, they face too many constraints. Many research projects can only be carried out in secret, and even the various metals needed for the firearms program can only be intercepted in secret. They are too passive.
