Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 157 The Three Yang Seal

After submitting the proposal, Tamura Hao began to enjoy a comfortable life, taking Uzumaki Vanilla shopping during the day, sometimes with Uzumaki Kushina joining them.

At night, he would cultivate with several women, and even replaced the bed with a larger one to make cultivation easier.

Of course, they also urged the chefs to develop various noodle dishes, which were eventually distributed to the food and entertainment center in Konoha.

During his previous trip to Konoha, he discovered that the people of Konoha loved eating noodles, and even Tsunade, Jiraiya, and the Third Hokage frequented that small noodle shop.

This is a huge business opportunity, worth investing heavily in. Then, we can compete fairly with Ichiraku Ramen, focusing on cost-effectiveness and implementing a strategy of low profit and high volume to capture Konoha's noodle market.

A few days later, Uzumaki Yuye arrived before Tamura Hao with the results of her tireless deductions.

"This is the modified three-tomoe structure. You should build this up on your body first."

He handed over the new three-tomoe structure scroll. Whirlpool Jade Leaf's eyes were bloodshot, but he was very excited, clearly having made great progress in the past few days.

He took the scroll and examined it carefully, listening to the explanation from the whirlpool jade leaf. This new three-tomoe structure was very different from the last one, and even the Yang seal had been changed quite a bit.

"Wasn't the structure of the Six-Tomoe (a type of jade pendant) derived?"

After reading it, I asked, "The three-tomoe structure is a bit too small. We need at least a six-tomoe structure to feel safe on the battlefield."

"We have derived one, but it still needs time to verify further, which will facilitate the expansion of the Nine-Hook Jade architecture."

Currently, it's only confirmed that the three-tomoe structure can perfectly connect to the six-tomoe structure; in the future, it will simply need to be superimposed on the three-tomoe structure.

Speaking of the Whirlpool Jade Leaf, she became even more excited. After research and deduction with her fellow clansmen, the six-tomoe structure was already in place, but it was still unclear whether it could support and connect to the subsequent nine-tomoe structure, or even more layers of structure.

This requires deducing the nine-tomoe structure before it can be preliminarily determined.

"It's right to be cautious, so that we don't have to start all over again if problems arise in the future."

Tamura Hiroshi agreed with this cautious approach. After all, it was a new system and a new way of thinking. This was not an illusion that could be relived indefinitely, so it was natural to be careful.

"Go to the beehive base below, and I'll help you draw the spell array diagram."

"I'll have to go back to sleep after I finish this," said Yu Ye.

After several days and nights of sleepless nights, even a Uzumaki ninja would find it hard to keep up.

"I want to create one too."

Karura suddenly spoke up. Her chakra reserves weren't that high either; she only had the two-card standard set by Haojun. This three-tomoe structure could increase the chakra reserves of three cards, which would be a significant boost to her, not to mention the subsequent upgrade paths.

"Me too!"

Hikaru Uchiha and the other girls followed suit, and even Kushina Uzumaki and Vanilla Uzumaki expressed their need.

Although the chakra reserves of the Uzumaki ninjas are enormous, constantly refining chakra is too taxing on their bodies, especially the instantaneous extraction required for performing advanced ninjutsu. Even they would find it difficult to withstand such a large amount of chakra.

Because Grandma Mito constantly refined chakra to suppress the Nine-Tails, even with the Yin Seal, she could not live a long life.

And the First Hokage, because he extracted too much chakra in the final battle, his body was severely overdrawn, and he passed away a few years later.

Therefore, this kind of sealing technique that can store chakra is very necessary. It allows for the slight extraction and storage of chakra during normal times, minimizing or even eliminating the damage to the body.

Previously, their goal was only the Yin Seal, as the Yang Seal was too small, and even if it was upgraded once, it would still be far inferior to the Yin Seal.

But now that Yang Seal has that combination route, we naturally have to choose this one.

Moreover, there is no conflict between the Yin Seal and the Yang Seal.

"All of you, get out."

Tamura Hao gestured for everyone to follow, and they stepped into the beehive base located inside the mountain through the passage.

He modified the barrier here with the chakra of the Ten-Tails. Even the materials with chakra that Karura brought in were processed to ensure that they did not contain the chakra of the Sage of Six Paths.

Arriving at the most spacious floor, the space here is extremely large, with a diameter of 100 meters, and is supported by a thick welded steel structure above, with no pillars in the middle.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

Whirlpool Jade Leaf used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to create ten shadow clones, which began to inscribe on the ground.

The new Three-Tomoe Yang Seal structure is extremely complex. Not only has the structure itself been greatly improved, but the Yang Seal itself has also been modified in many ways. It contains more than 100,000 spell characters, and it is in the form of an array, so there can be no mistakes.

Ten shadow clones quickly recorded the data, while Yu Ye checked it to ensure there were no omissions or errors.

This process continued for more than two hours before the massive spell array was finally completely inscribed.

Even after injecting chakra to activate it, and confirming that there were no problems with its operation, he finally let out a long breath, his face showing even more weariness.

Tamura Hao used the Vajra Lock to bind the ten shadow clones and drag them into the sealed space for the little ten-tailed fox to swallow, so that the memories would not return and aggravate the fatigue of Uzumaki Yuye.

Seeing this, Yu Ye smiled and retreated to the edge of the open space, indicating that he should step forward to create the Three-Hook Jade Yang Seal.

Without wasting any words, Tamura Hao walked to the center of the jutsu array, first releasing the Yang seal and injecting the chakra within into the array below. However, the chakra from one katak only filled less than 10% of the jutsu array.

Tamura Hao had anticipated this, and his emotions remained completely calm as he calmly disintegrated the Yang Seal on his chest, separating the chakra from the Yang Seal structure and injecting it into the jutsu array below.

Then, he took out several sealing scrolls, released the chakra that had been refined and stored inside over the past few days, and guided it into the spell array.

Once the chakra has completely filled the technique array, the array is officially activated, and the technique array imprinted with chakra slowly floats up off the ground.

This is where chakra control is put to the test. Fortunately, Tamura Hao's years of training have paid off, and with the activation of his comprehension cheat, his control has been further enhanced.

Under his precise manipulation, the spell array slowly merged, forming three enormous magatama, and a spell chain linked the three together.

At the center point, there is a hub from which three magical chains branch off, connecting the three tomoe respectively. This is the biggest difference from the previous three-tomoe structure, and it is also the key to future superpositions such as the six-tomoe and nine-tomoe structures.

Once the structure stabilized, Tamura Hao took a deep breath and then guided it to slowly shrink, eventually imprinting it on his chest as a small three-tomoe circle, about the same size as the three-tomoe pattern of the Sharingan, and very inconspicuous.

"It's too difficult to operate."

Tamura Hiroshi breathed a sigh of relief after completing all of this, with a layer of sweat on his forehead.

Don't be fooled by how smoothly things went before; that's because my chakra control was strong enough to make it work.

Even so, they were all exhausted, which shows how complex it was.

Fortunately, the three Yang seals have the same structure, which reduced the difficulty considerably; otherwise, he would have had to prepare more chakra.

Whirlpool Vanilla immediately stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, and wiped away her sweat with a towel.

"Is it that difficult?"

The women frowned, knowing full well how strong Tamura Hao's chakra control was; even Uchiha Hikaru, who possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan, was no match for him in this regard.

If even Tamura Hiroshi is struggling so much, it's unlikely they will succeed.

"Hao-jun has limited chakra and can only perform precise control. As long as his chakra is injected ten times more, the formation of the technique array will be much more stable."

Uzumaki Yuye explained that this aspect can be simplified by increasing the amount of chakra injected.

He could even say that what he said was the correct method. Hao Jun's method was a refined version, which minimized the chakra requirement and naturally put more pressure on his control.

"That's good!"

The girls suddenly realized what was happening and breathed a sigh of relief. Then, Uchiha Hikaru, the strongest of them all, walked to the center of the array and raised her hand to form a hand seal to release the Yin seal between her eyebrows.

A massive amount of chakra surged forth and poured into the jutsu array below, repeating Tamura Hao's previous actions.

Tamura Hao, who had come to the side, looked at Uchiha Hikaru, who had activated the Yin Seal, and felt a deep sense of envy.

That's a Yin seal.

Unfortunately, I don't have Yin and Yang attributes. I need to have innate Yin and Yang attributes as a foundation. The Yin and Yang attributes cultivated later in life cannot change their nature.

With the support of a large amount of chakra, Uchiha Hikari successfully created the Three Tomoe Yang Seal, but the location of her mark was not on her heart, but on her back.

After all, there are great treasures in front of us. A little mark is nothing, but it would be too unsightly if it spreads to the mountains in the future. So we can only put it on the back.

As for the Sage Art seal, it can be sealed in the chest area. Anyway, the Sage Art chakra formed by that new medium is not strong, and the mutation reaction is very low. At most, a small patch of skin will turn white.

Then the women stepped forward one by one, and even Garura took the opportunity to create her own three-tomoe yang seal, with the marks on her back.

Although the storage capacity of the Three-Tomoe Yang Seal is still far less than that of the Yin Seal, its advantage lies in its ability to be used at any time without the many restrictions of the Yin Seal, making it more practical.

"The pericardiums I've been cultivating for you are almost ready, so I'll finish making the celestial magic seals today as well."

The final Karura adapted to the Lower Three-Tomoe Yang Seal and spoke of the cultivation of the pericardium.

"Organ cloning is already possible?"

Tamura was surprised, as he had previously discussed the proposals for White Zetsu heart cloning and giantification with Garura.

Simply put, it involves using white Zetsu cells to clone a gigantic heart as a medium to create a sage seal, which can then be used to store blood to sustain the seven-day breathing technique.

I just didn't expect it to succeed so quickly, it's too fast.

Does this technology already exist?

Even if they obtained the Senju family's resources last time, it shouldn't have been this fast, right?

"It's just a simple pericardium, or rather a blood bag, not a real heart."

Garuro explained the situation and led the group to his laboratory.

There were several more huge nutrient tanks there than last time, each containing a fleshy ball two meters in diameter, which was the pericardium that Garuro had cultured using white Zetsu cells.

"This is a cell induced and cultured from the white cells that engulfed the cells of three kinds of sacred land spirit beasts. It has a structure similar to a myocardial cell, which is empty inside and the cell structure is relatively stable."

The heart is divided into two chambers connected by a diaphragm. The diaphragm is very resilient and can adhere to both sides of the heart wall, facilitating the flow and storage of new and old blood.

The corrosive nature of those white cells has stabilized considerably after they devoured the three types of cells, and with the suppression of the sealing technique, they won't erode your bodies outwards.

Standing to the side, Gallo gave a brief explanation of the pericardium.

She is currently unable to induce cloning of a heart organ, but it is not difficult to clone such a simple structure.

"That's enough!"

After observing, Tamura Hiroshi nodded in approval.

Although its size is far from comparable to the original Manda's Heart, it is enough for the girls to use.

After all, war is cruel, but it doesn't have to be fought from morning till night. Their Hidden Cloud Village is not the weaker party, and they are unlikely to be in dire straits.

"Hikari-neechan, I'll go first this time!"

Kushina Uzumaki suddenly spoke up, saying that she should first create a Sage Art Seal, since she was a specialist in sealing techniques and would be more confident in her ability to deal with any unexpected situations.

Seeing this, Uchiha Hikaru took a step forward without saying anything, while Karura had already drawn the spell pattern of the Sage Art Seal on the side.

Kushina Uzumaki used the Adamantine Sealing Technique to retrieve a pericardium, walked to the center of the jutsu array, injected chakra to shape the array, then wrapped the pericardium and finally sealed it into her chest, located at the upper end of her sternum.

Karura stepped forward and used a chakra scalpel to perform vascular reconnection surgery on Kushina Uzumaki, connecting the pericardial blood vessels to Kushina's heart and lung blood vessels.

Afterwards, Kushina only needs to accelerate her hematopoietic function and continuously inject the produced blood to fill the gap.

The group kept their eyes fixed on Kushina Uzumaki, while Tamaki Yuba mobilized his chakra, ready to strike at any moment.

The structure of the immortal spell seal is already very mature and stable, and there are basically no problems. However, those white cells are very strange, and they have extremely strong corrosive properties.

Although it is performing very steadily now, there is no guarantee that it will break out at any time, so we must be on guard.

"It's very stable. After that pericardium absorbed my chakra, it indeed simulated my chakra, and the compatibility improved a lot."

The sage chakra I refined was very weak and couldn't amplify my power, but it was enough to sense and absorb natural energy!

After closing her eyes and sensing for a while, Kushina Uzumaki said happily.

Although she couldn't use the Sage Art Seal to gain Sage Chakra to amplify her strength, she didn't really want that anyway; what she truly valued was a stronger Sage Mode.

With Kushina Uzumaki's confirmation, the girls finally felt relieved and then took turns creating Sage Art Seals.

Vanilla Uzumaki, Hikaru Uchiha, Mikoto Uchiha, and Karura all created Sage Mode seals.

Whirlpool Jade Leaf naturally didn't miss out either, and followed suit by selecting a pericardium seal to become a celestial magic seal.

She valued Sage Chakra, but the cells from the Sage Land's summoning beasts were too corrosive and would cause severe mutations in her body, which is why she couldn't use them.

But now that we have this new medium that has been cultivated, we naturally have to give it a try.

Only by personally experiencing this Sage Art power can they begin to perfect the Sage Art power suitable for their Uzumaki ninjas.

According to the Sage Technique information obtained from the memories of those summoned beasts, the amount of chakra is an important foundation for cultivating Sage Techniques, and the larger the amount of chakra a person has, the easier it is for them to master it.

The most obvious example is that uncle. His chakra was terrifying, even more than that of the Nine-Tails, and he easily mastered Sage Mode.

One of the talents of the Uzumaki ninjas is their massive chakra reserves, which gives them an advantage over other ninjas when training in Sage Mode.

"I'm going back to sleep now. I won't see you off when you set off. Be careful, especially Kushina. You must listen to Hao-kun on the battlefield."

After giving a serious warning, Uzumaki Yuye yawned and left.

All she wants now is to have a good night's sleep, a three-day, three-night sleep.

After sending the Vortex Jade Leaf away, everyone sat on the living room sofa, sensing the Three-Tomoe Jade Yang Seal structure and the Immortal Technique Seal.

"What does this chakra simulation effect have to do with your Samehada ability?"

Mikoto Uchiha asked in confusion, "This pericardium also has the effect of simulating chakra. Even I can't distinguish the difference inside, which is really strange."

The girls also looked over, equally puzzled.

"That thing's simulation ability is stronger and more perfect. Combined with its own transformation technique, I didn't even realize it. If I didn't have a sense of good and evil, I would have been killed in the Forest of Death."

Afterwards, I used Samehada to absorb some of his flesh and chakra, thus enhancing that simulation ability somewhat.

Tamura Hao spoke with a solemn expression, his words half-true and half-false. At least, the ability to simulate chakra was indeed enhanced by absorbing a White Zetsu.

"They've actually progressed to that level with the transplantation of primary cells."

Mikoto Uchiha was worried. That strange white body was clearly a product of the First Hokage's cells. Although it wasn't very successful, it had at least fused with the First Hokage's cells.

This is a significant step forward, far better than the Second Hokage's experimental progress with the Thousand Hands Forbidden Scroll.

It's still unknown to what extent those people have researched the first generation of cells.

We don't want countless Wood Release ninjas to appear in the future. Even if their strength is far inferior to that of the First Hokage, Wood Release is still Wood Release, which is far superior to other bloodline limits.

It's still unknown whether it was a product of the Senju clan's research or the Hokage faction's, but both of those factions are enemies of the Uchiha.

The family is facing difficulties in the future.

"Don't overthink it, Hao-jun will arrange a way out for the Uchiha."

Karura, standing to the side, held Uchiha Mikoto's hand and comforted her, glancing at the boy with absolute trust in him.

Although Haojun's methods are sometimes a bit extreme, his heart is definitely good.

The Uzumaki clan survived under his arrangement, and the current Uchiha clan will certainly have a similar chance of survival.

Moreover, the village's development requires talents in many areas, especially geniuses who can become strong. The Uchiha clan members are all quite talented, which is exactly what the village needs, so they will definitely keep an eye on them.

"he?"

"I think he harbors the most malice towards our Uchiha clan."

Mikoto Uchiha glared angrily at someone, showing her deep distrust.

Whether it was intuition or something else, she had a feeling that this bastard had ill intentions towards the Uchiha clan.

Unfortunately, I have no choice but to accept my current situation. Fortunately, that bastard hasn't bullied me since I came here, so he still has some principles.

Tamura Hao sensed that Uchiha Mikoto's animosity had lessened slightly, and he was somewhat satisfied.

Girls with good tempers like this are easy to train. They are naturally submissive and can easily accept new situations.

Compared to when she first arrived in Kumogakure, Mikoto Uchiha has changed a lot, much faster than Hikaru Uchiha and Kushina Uzumaki did back then.

Uchiha Hikaru and Uzumaki Kushina truly held a grudge, and it wasn't until now that they've turned their backs on each other; at least their malice has decreased significantly compared to before.

In this way, their small group becomes stable and united.

Of course, Galuro contributed a lot during this period, repeatedly persuading the two. It was absolutely right of them to devise a plan to deceive Galuro in the first place.

It's like planting a spy on the other side, which is much better than trying to deceive them yourself.
