Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 182 The Perfect Era

"You're wrong. It's not that the village will be finished if something happens to me, but that I'll be finished if something happens to the village. The village is the reason for my existence."

The Third Raikage shook his head with a serious expression, disagreeing with Tsuchikage's words.

"There is no such thing as a smooth road in this world. Since we have already become enemies with that old toad, we must strike first and completely eliminate him."

We already have too many enemies; we must become stronger as quickly as possible to deal with everything.

He had his own considerations; it wasn't a rash, impulsive act. He was forced into it by circumstances.

Their Hidden Cloud Village has already become mortal enemies with the Otsutsuki clan on the moon, and the Otsutsuki clan could attack at any time. Now, they have another Great Toad Sage.

Furthermore, that giant toad sage is also connected to the Sage of Six Paths, and may very well join forces with the Otsutsuki on the moon.

It would be troublesome if the two sides really joined forces, so the only option is to improve themselves as soon as possible, and then strike first to eliminate that old toad.

Seeing that the Third Raikage had said this, Tsuchikage couldn't say anything more.

"Xiao Hao, immediately go and accumulate lightning power. Once I recover, we will storm Mount Myōboku from Mount Lost and uproot it completely."

Looking at the disciple beside him, the Third Raikage's killing intent surged.

Now that the Thunder Sage Mode has been successfully developed and integrated into his own body, the next step is naturally to storm Mount Myōboku. The sooner the better.

Otherwise, it will be troublesome once that old toad recovers.

"I see."

Tamura Hiroshi nodded solemnly, then decisively got up and left.

The Thunder Sage Mode does not require natural energy, but rather the power of thunder.

This is much harder to absorb than natural energy, so it can only be collected and stored in advance during thunderstorms.

This was not difficult for him; he had even discussed it with the Third Raikage long ago and was just waiting for the Thunder Sage Mode to succeed.

Upon returning to Cloud Thunder Gorge, Whirlpool Jade Leaf and the others stayed there, using the Thunder Sealing Seal as a foundation to develop even stronger sealing techniques.

Sealing the power of thunder naturally requires the Thunder Sealing Seal, which is the same sealing technique as the Fire Sealing Seal, specifically designed to target lightning.

However, the Thunder Sealing Seal is not strong enough. This time, it requires drawing in a large amount of thunder power to seal it, so some modifications are needed.

"Is it finished?"

Tamura Hao walked over to the Whirlpool Jade Leaf, who was writing and drawing, and inquired about the progress of perfecting and strengthening the Thunder Sealing Seal.

"Although there are still many problems, it is already usable to a basic extent. The strength of this Six Paths Ninja Tool is not low, and the amount stored in it is definitely not small."

Whirlpool Jade Leaf raised her head and twisted her sore neck, then pointed to the red gourd placed beside her.

They had already modified this red gourd, removing its ability to seal people with words of power, and made it specifically for storing ninja tools.

It can be used in conjunction with sealing techniques to seal people or objects, and energy can also be used.

"Let's begin!"

Without wasting any words, Tamura Hao took out the Masamune sword that contained Futsu no Mitama and pointed it directly at the thundercloud. The chakra of the little Ten-Tails passed through the Masamune sword and transformed into a beam of light that shot into the thundercloud, then turned into lightning that spread rapidly within the thundercloud.

Below, Yu Ye and the others also set up a spell array, with the modified red gourd placed in the center.

After seeing that everything was ready, Tamura Hao used the abilities of Takemikazuchi's Eye Technique and Futsu-no-Mitama Sword to draw down lightning, which was then transferred into the red gourd by the sealing array and sealed away.

A high-pressure environment is created inside the red gourd, compressing the lightning energy into a liquid state and storing it little by little.

Although the power of lightning is domineering, it can only be compressed and transformed into liquid lightning by the seal created by hundreds of Uzumaki ninjas working together, so that more can be stored in the red gourd.

This continuous pulling continued until the red gourd was finally filled five days later, filled entirely with liquid lightning.

After persisting for so long, Uzumaki Yuye and the others were exhausted. Although Tamura Hao was in good condition, it was because he was using the chakra of the Ten-Tails to activate his eye technique and spirit sword power, and his own consumption was not significant.

After three days of recovery, the Third Raikage has fully recovered, and his physical condition has even improved after the ordeal.

"Everyone rest for a day, we'll go into battle the day after tomorrow."

Looking at the red gourd that was already full, the Third Raikage was very satisfied and told Uzumaki Tamayo and the others to go back and rest as soon as possible.

We will need the help of these Uzumaki ninjas to take over Mount Myōboku.

According to the memories of the two toads, the Spirit World where Mount Myōboku is located is a semi-independent alternate dimension. Its boundaries are all spell arrays. It was probably opened up by spell barriers or separated from the real world, and it is still attached to the real world.

The entrance is located at Lost Mountain, and the rich natural energy of the Spirit World is also absorbed from the real world through Lost Mountain.

That is the connection point between the spirit world and the real world; currently, the only way to break in is from there.

Hearing that they could finally rest, Uzumaki Yuye and the others all headed to the dormitory not far away, took a quick shower, and went straight to sleep.

As a Uzumaki ninja, physical fatigue is nothing, but mental exhaustion can only be recovered through sleep.

"What are you thinking about?"

The Third Raikage noticed his disciple staring blankly at the World Tree in the village and couldn't help but ask a question.

"Uchiha Retsuyo's Mangekyou Sharingan is a technique that opens spatial portals, and Susanoo's spiritual artifact is the Heavenly Stone Gate, which is a spatial portal that can be used in conjunction with the eye technique to open ultra-long-range spatial channels."

I'm thinking about whether I could open a remote portal to the Spirit Realm, then manipulate the World Tree to extend a root there and take over the entire Spirit Realm.

With the World Immortal Tree to devour, we can sweep away everything except the three great immortals of the three holy lands, thus avoiding casualties.

If possible, I would like to try to transfer the entrance to the Spirit World from Lost Mountain to Cloud Thunder Gorge via a spatial gate, thus making the Spirit World the private property of our Hidden Cloud Village.

He revealed his own thoughts, stating that the Third Raikage's idea was to lead his men directly in and attack, with the Third Raikage dealing with the Great Toad Sage and the others blasting away the other toads.

But Tamura had a better option: to use a portal to bring the World Tree into the battle.

That big guy can use Wood Release. Once it enters the Spirit World and spreads out, it's equivalent to a super-large-scale Tree World Advent, or even a Flower Tree World Advent.

Moreover, the beings of the three holy lands all possess chakra, making them the best source of nourishment for the spread of Wood Release, without requiring much consumption.

Once the spirit world is completely occupied, we can try to turn the entrance around and occupy it permanently.

Upon hearing this insane idea, even the Third Raikage, with his strong will, couldn't help but fall silent.

"Do as you say."

After a while, the Third Raikage agreed to the proposal. Such a good tactical suggestion could not be refused.

The master and apprentice then expanded on this tactical proposal, discussing it for over an hour before the Third Raikage finally told Tamura Hiroshi to go back and rest as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Ye Yue Ai and the others secretly returned to the village to prepare for the battle the day after tomorrow.

"I want to join the war."

After dinner, Uchiha Mikoto suddenly spoke up, wanting to participate in the battle.

She lacks practical experience and needs real life-or-death battles to hone her skills.

"no problem."

Tamura Hiroshi did not refuse.

"Mount Myoboku, what a pity!"

Garuda sighed, "One of the three holy sites is about to disappear."

Of course, she only felt a little regretful. Although she thought it was cruel, she would not try to persuade her otherwise.

Who told Mount Miaoboku to actively become their enemy? They even went so far as to kill Haojun. This is a recipe for disaster.

This is fundamentally different from the War of the Land of Whirlpools back then.

"You big bad guy, who exactly is this 'Child of Destiny' that old toad keeps talking about? Does such a 'Child of Destiny' really exist? Is it that Minato Namikaze?"

Kushina Uzumaki was thinking about something else. She had learned from the memories of the three giant toads that the old toad had prophesied about the Child of Destiny, and that Jiraiya would also be the Child of Destiny's teacher.

According to the intelligence, Jiraiya currently only has one disciple, Minato Namikaze. Is it that pretty boy?

"How would I know?"

Looking at the girl with her head tilted to the side, Tamura Hao said he didn't know.

If I hadn't interfered, then the so-called chosen one would have been your child.

"It's all a lie. They say he's the child of destiny, but he's more likely the child of power. Only absolute power can change the ninja world."

Just like the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha, they used absolute power to suppress everything, thus ushering in the era of the ninja villages.

Uchiha Hikaru had a different opinion. He didn't believe in that kind of destiny theory. He thought that the old toad's so-called prophecy was about the birth of a person with extraordinary talent, or perhaps the birth of a person who would grow into an invincible powerhouse like the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara.

Only with invincible power can one change the ninja world; that is the essence.

"That's what I think too."

Tamura Hao wholeheartedly agreed, stating that for those two overpowered protagonists, the limit of their growth was determined by their external advantages, especially the Indra chakra and Ashura chakra.

"Get some rest, everyone. Tomorrow will be a tough battle."

Gallo glanced at the clock and gestured for everyone to go back to their rooms and sleep as soon as possible to conserve their energy for the great battle the next day.

"I was just thinking of getting a good night's sleep."

Yawning, Kushina Uzumaki got up and headed to someone's room on the top floor. Vanilla and Hikaru Uchiha were also very tired, so they followed her up to wash up and go to sleep.

They had just finished a duel yesterday and rushed back overnight. They only managed to catch a nap on the train, so they weren't in very good condition.

The girls washed and groomed themselves in the spacious bathroom, rubbed each other's backs, and played in the water.

Then they wrap themselves in a bath towel or wear pajamas to prepare for rest.

"Haojun, aren't you asleep yet?"

After the girls fell asleep, Karura suddenly opened her eyes. From the pulse in the clenched hand, she could tell that the boy was not asleep. Was he thinking about something?

"There are some things I haven't figured out yet."

He replied softly, "Tamura Hao has many things on his mind and too many people to scheme against."

Will there truly be lasting peace in the future?

After a moment of silence, Karura suddenly asked a question.

She disliked war and death, and longed for true peace to come.

"It will definitely happen. Once unification is achieved, and we suppress it with absolute power, establish perfect laws and regulations, then lasting peace will come."

Tamura Hiroshi is full of confidence in this, and he himself wants to strive to create a perfect new era, a perfect era that is better than the previous one.

The world in my previous life wasn't great either; the whole world was constantly at war, and the war never stopped.

These tragedies are mostly caused by a few individuals acting in their own self-interest.

He deeply understands this and has suffered greatly from it.

Now that I've come to this world with a cultivation civilization, and I have the potential to become an invincible powerhouse, I should naturally have some fun.

This is much more exciting than those games.

Only a peaceful society with a reasonable structure can achieve long-term development.

Otherwise, the accumulated resentment would eventually explode. In their previous lives, these corporate slaves were powerless to stop it even if they wanted to, but in this world with a cultivation civilization, where people can cultivate into humanoid missiles or even humanoid nuclear bombs, such an explosion would be too deadly. They might end up being carried off by someone else.

He wouldn't risk his own interests for the sake of a small minority, so some things must be dealt with severely.

This requires enhancing one's own status and influence, and the girls around him are his support team.

Of course, the most important thing is that such idealistic social visions are easier to fool people. The stronger a person is, the more idealistic they tend to be. For example, Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha were so idealistic that they had to escape reality.

Compared to that, reality is really cruel. For example, in Boruto, Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha, the two saviors and super strong people, are still burdened with a mortgage. Moreover, the house doesn't look very luxurious and isn't very big. Sakura Haruno actually fainted from the shock of the house collapsing. Can you believe that?

If it were me, I would have gone to carry rice long ago.

Therefore, it is important to create a vision of a perfect era, so as to attract more talented people to come and work hard.

Has your skin recovered yet?

Tamura Hao changed the subject, feeling the softness and smoothness of the bare hand in his hand, without any sand covering it.

"Thanks to Hao Jun's life energy."

When this topic came up, Gallo was filled with gratitude.

Although the legs and feet have not regenerated, the scars on the skin have healed and the hair has grown back.

Now, apart from his legs, all other injuries have healed.

"It's a pity your legs were completely blown apart back then, otherwise they would be fully healed by now."

Tamura Hao lamented that the loss of both legs had significantly reduced Karura's chakra reserves, since nearly half of a person's weight is in their legs, especially for women.

Body cells are related to the refinement of chakra, and the loss of legs has a significant impact.

"I only lost my legs in that battle, which is much better than those who lost their lives."

Gallo didn't regret her own injuries; what she truly regretted was those who had fallen forever.

"Will Hao-jun go to the front lines in the Land of Rivers?"

She suddenly asked a question, indicating that she had some thoughts.

"Can't you let go of your family?"

Tamura Hao understood what Karura wanted to say; the other party still had ties with Sunagakure.

For example, that younger brother who can cause trouble for others after dressing as a woman.

As for Rasa, she has already found someone new, Sasori said so himself, and that person is Karura's best friend, a classmate.

It has to be said that Gold Miner is really outstanding. He has no parents, no ties, is rich at a young age, and is the village chief's personal disciple. He is very likely to become the village chief of Sunagakure in the future. He is definitely a diamond bachelor and a young CEO.

Only Gallo was good enough and strong enough to hold on in the past. Now that Gallo has died in battle, those people will naturally seize the opportunity to make their move. You can't blame Rasa for that.

"If possible, please bring my parents and younger brother here. I will persuade them to join Kumogakure."

Karura has seen through it all and is very confident about the future of Kumogakure.

If things continue to develop this way, the probability of Kumogakure unifying the ninja world in the future is very high.

In the war of unification, Sunagakure will certainly not yield, and war is unavoidable.

She couldn't stop the war; the only thing she could do was bring her family over to avoid them dying in the war in the future.

"Your younger brother can come, but your parents probably can't."

Tamura Hiroshi agreed to pick up Yashamaru, but it could only be Yashamaru.

Karura remained silent for a moment before asking in a trembling voice.

"Has something happened to my parents?"

"We received intelligence that your parents died on the front lines, and your younger brother, Yashamaru, was adopted by Yekura and placed in her home."

He revealed this information, but in fact, he had already seen it in the Raikage's office.

Their Hidden Cloud Village had spies planted in all the major ninja villages. Important intelligence was hard to obtain, but ordinary intelligence was not difficult to get.

I just didn't know how to tell Karura this information before, but now that she mentioned family, I have no choice but to tell her.

After a long silence, Karura finally spoke, her voice still trembling.

"Hao Jun, please be sure to bring my younger brother here."

She was deeply saddened by the passing of her parents, and she was determined that nothing could ever happen to her younger brother.

"I'll bring him here, I promise."

Tamura Hiroshi responded firmly, indicating that he had already made plans there.

While plotting against Yekura, you can bring Yashamaru along as well. Bringing Yashamaru along will also allow Karura to further integrate into Kumogakure and sever all ties with Sunagakure.

"Thanks!"

The firmness in his tone reassured Gallo, who thanked him gratefully.

"Could you bring my father along?"

At that moment, Uchiha Mikoto, who should have been asleep, suddenly opened her eyes, missing her father.

"You're trying to make Senior Lieyang betray the Uchiha! That's shameful! Senior Lieyang was already prepared to sacrifice himself for the Uchiha. We should support him; it's the Uchiha's honor!"

Tamura Hao decisively refused. Yashamaru was still young, and with his older sister Karura guiding him to integrate into Kumogakure, there would be no problem.

Yekura is a woman, so as long as I use my good looks to my advantage, it won't be difficult to win her over. If we can even have a baby together in the future, it will be even more secure.

But that old guy Uchiha Retsuyo can't be guided or changed; such a person should naturally die sooner rather than later.

Even after that old guy died, he planned to use those eyes as a medium to summon his soul through the Impure World Reincarnation technique so that the Ten-Tails could devour it, lest someone in the future use the Impure World Reincarnation technique to play the emotional card and influence Miss Mikoto.

"You big bastard!"

These words angered the girl, and she turned away, ignoring the despicable and shameless bastard.

Tamura Hiroshi completely ignored the girl's anger; this was a matter of principle, and he would never make an exception for anyone.

This is also why, when targeting those ninja clans in the past, they only wanted young women and children. Only this type could better and faster integrate into Kumogakure and reduce the occurrence of certain dramatic incidents.

Even her previous interactions with Gallo were mainly based on the fact that she already knew his parents had died in battle; otherwise, she would not have agreed.

Don't underestimate the brainwashing abilities of ninja villages. Just look at Konoha's Will of Fire; even the Uchiha gang of lunatics were brainwashed.

Other ninja villages are similar; ninjas are strictly controlled in terms of thought management, and it is extremely difficult to change the mind of an adult ninja, even with the help of Kotoamatsukami.
