Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 16 Plotting the Sharingan

Tamura Hiroshi entered a private bathhouse and paid for a body scrub service. Soon after, an ordinary-looking body scrubber came in.

Tamura Hao naturally stepped out of the pool and lay down on the wooden bed next to it to enjoy the bathing service.

"Danzo's men have come looking for you?"

Using his transformation technique to disguise himself as a bathhouse attendant, Tsuchida asked in a low voice, explaining that this was their original agreement: if Tamura Hao came here, it meant that Danzo was making a move.

They couldn't meet openly, so they had to do it secretly to avoid being detected by the other side's spies.

"He wanted information about the village's plans for the upcoming war and the progress of their use of the tailed beasts, so I offered to obtain the Thunder God Sword."

Tamura Hao simply said that there was no need for excessive words in this matter, and that Tsuchida's intelligence would certainly allow him to fully understand.

As expected, Tu Tai fell into deep thought.

He was not surprised by Shimura Danzo's intentions; in fact, he had anticipated them. After all, even he wanted to know Konoha's plans for the upcoming war, something that all five great ninja villages wanted to know.

"Given your current status and Fukai's position, you certainly can't know too much. I'll give you some basic, indirect information, enough for Shimura Danzo's side to analyze something..."

After thinking for a while, Tsuchida revealed some scattered information that Tamura Hiroshi could currently obtain under his identity.

After saying that, Tsuchida gave Tamura Hiroshi some advice.

"You can give them the village's war plans first. You can use information about the tailed beasts, including their plans for the Land of Whirlpools, as a trump card to exchange for the Thunder God Sword."

However, as far as I know, the Thunder God's Sword requires a massive amount of chakra to wield effectively, so it won't be of much use to you.

He had heard of the Thunder God Sword. The Second Hokage used it in conjunction with the Flying Thunder God Technique, which was quite deadly to any ninja. It was said that Kinkaku and Ginkaku only managed to withstand it because of their Tailed Beast Cloaks, otherwise they would have been killed by the Second Hokage long ago.

"I want to use the Thunder God Sword to aid in the training of lightning-attribute nature transformation, not for combat. After I'm done using it, I'll hand it over to the village to see if it can be used as a foundation to create large-scale ninja tools so that more people can use them to aid in their lightning-attribute training. That should be quite an achievement, right?"

Tamura Hao had more ideas about this. Although the lightsaber form of the Thunder God Sword was very strong, it required a lot of chakra to support it. Without enough chakra, the Thunder God Sword could not unleash its power, and it was shattered in the original story.

What he lacks is chakra, so the Thunder God Sword is more of an aid to his training; in battle, Big Meow and Little Meow are enough.

Since that's the case, keeping Thor's sword is useless; it's better to hand it over to the village to obtain other resources.

"That's a good idea!"

Tu Tai was taken aback for a moment, then pondered it and agreed with the suggestion.

He immediately thought of the Six Paths Ninja Tools that Kinkaku and Ginkaku had sealed away before their deaths, and there seemed to be a fan among them that could transform into five different attributes.

If we could get it out, it could completely assist in the cultivation of the five attributes' nature changes.

Previously, I only thought about using these ninja tools in battle, but I overlooked the fact that they could be used to assist in training.

"In the end, we are not as quick-witted as you young people."

Tu Tai was both moved and excited.

If this plan succeeds, their village will be able to quickly acquire a group of Jonin.

It's important to know that chakra nature transformation is a sign of being promoted to Jonin, and it greatly enhances one's strength.

However, cultivating the nature of change is much more difficult than cultivating the form, and many people get stuck at this step.

"Once you get your hands on the Thor's Sword, that'll count as an S-rank achievement. Add that to the achievements from the two intelligence reports you already had, that'll be three. Is there anything you want?"

Tu Tai appeared very generous and showed increasing approval for the child.

They're truly a lucky star for Kumogakure!

"Are there any Sharingan users in the village? I heard that Sharingan can improve the dynamic vision of the eyes. I want to go for a speed-based style in the future, so I really need to improve my dynamic vision to help me unleash my speed."

Another issue is increasing chakra reserves. My aptitude in this area is too poor, which severely restricts my ability to improve.

Tamura Hao stated his requirements: he wanted to follow the future Uchiha Sasuke's Chidori route, which required strong dynamic vision support. Training alone was far from enough; he needed to use a cheat code!

Just like the last sparring session with Fukai, Fukai could easily block his attacks, and even the most tricky sword techniques were useless.

Faced with Fokai's lightning-fast slashes, he could barely see them, let alone defend against them.

That was far from Fukai's true strength; with the addition of Lightning Release Ninja Taijutsu, his burst speed would definitely increase further.

He didn't even have a chance to react when facing such a powerful opponent.

Therefore, improving dynamic vision is crucial, and the Sharingan has the strongest dynamic vision in the ninja world.

Given the style of the Hidden Cloud Village, they should have seized and collected Sharingan. The Uchiha clan doesn't have the Caged Bird Seal to destroy Sharingan before they die, so they could use this opportunity to get one for research.

"I do have Sharingan. I acquired some from fighting with Uchiha clan ninjas before. The Sharingan, a bloodline limit, can be transplanted. However, non-Uchiha clan members cannot close the Sharingan after transplantation, and it will continuously consume chakra, so it is not suitable for you."

Tsuchikage did not agree with the idea of ​​transplanting Sharingan. They had tried it before, but unfortunately, they all failed.

Even the Third Raikage's chakra reserves couldn't withstand that kind of continuous depletion, and this child's chakra reserves were far too meager, making it even less suitable.

"I don't want a transplant; I just want to study the principles behind improving dynamic vision and gain some inspiration from it."

Tamura Hao knew about the problems with transplanting Sharingan. Even a genius like Kakashi Hatake, who was a Jonin at the age of twelve, was dragged down to become a Hollow Man, let alone his small body.

Tsuchida understood, then pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go back and report to the Third Hokage. I'll take you to the research department, where they conduct research on bloodline limits and the Eight-Tails' flesh and blood. You might be able to offer some insights there."

It has to be admitted that this child is really smart; he can always think of points that ordinary people wouldn't. Perhaps having him in the past could provide some good ideas.

"Thank you, Lord Tsuchidai!"

Tamura Hao was excited; he was eager to study the flesh and blood of the tailed beasts.

Others may not be able to refine the flesh and blood of the Tailed Beasts, but I have a cheat code that can erase the marks of those big shots in the chakra, so the Tailed Beast chakra will definitely not be a problem.

If one could fuse with the power of the Tailed Beasts, their chakra reserves would definitely increase rapidly.

He even had many ideas that required sufficient foundational resources to implement, and joining the research department of the Hidden Cloud Village would be the perfect fit.

"Both the Third Hokage and I have high hopes for you. After the Third Hokage retires, you can take over my position and assist the Fourth Hokage."

Tsuchita expressed his appreciation, noting that while their Hidden Cloud Village was not lacking in strong individuals, it lacked wise ones.

This child is very intelligent and can become the right-hand man for the next four generations.

"I will definitely not let Lord Tsuchidae and Lord Raikage down."

Tamura Hao quickly expressed his opinion, as there was no time to hesitate at this moment, and he did indeed need to improve his status in Kumogakure.

Only those with higher status are less likely to become cannon fodder and have more access to resources.
