Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 19 Tobirama's Remains

Tsuchikage was very efficient. After having in-depth discussions with the person in charge of the laboratory and confirming that there were no easy results and that the solution was feasible, he canceled the clone and sent the memories back to his main body to report to the Third Raikage.

The Third Raikage, who was researching and discussing the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki plan, agreed after a moment's thought. Tsuchida immediately sent a clone to retrieve all the Sharingan eyes that were sealed there and handed them over to Tamura Hao. Then, he took Tamura Hao to the material storage room at the deepest part of the research department.

Arriving at a freezer labeled "Second Hokage," the seal was broken and opened, revealing bottles and jars. Tsuchikage gave a regretful explanation.

"This contains some of the Second Hokage's internal organs. Although the Second Hokage's body was sent back to Konoha to quell the conflict, some of his body tissue was also taken for research."

Although its value is far less than that of the First Hokage, it is still the second strongest member of the Senju clan after the First Hokage, and its body is also beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even after twenty years, it can still maintain a strong vitality under the soaking of nutrient solution.

Unfortunately, we weren't able to gain any significant results from it; this research project was shelved several years ago due to funding issues.

Tamura Hao was very excited as he looked at the body tissues soaking in the nutrient solution, especially the intact heart.

These are the internal organs of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju. Even if they are not as valuable as those of Hashirama Senju, they are still quite valuable.

Without any hesitation, Tamura Hao took out a sealing scroll and sealed all the bottles and jars inside. These were all excellent nutrients for enhancing Kaguya's phantom.

Tsuchikage didn't say much about it, since the Third Raikage had already agreed to it.

Moreover, these things have been sealed here for a long time, so there's not much point in leaving them here any longer.

"Golden Horn and Silver Horn! Are they the two most vicious criminals who murdered the Second Hokage?"

His gaze swept over the many freezers around him, and he soon spotted two freezers with the words "Golden Corner" and "Silver Corner" written on them, which gave him some ideas.

"They belong to them. After the Third Hokage killed them, he brought their bodies back to study them, trying to figure out the secret that they could obtain the power of the Nine-Tails by consuming its flesh and blood, and also to retrieve the Six Paths Ninja Tools that they had sealed away. Unfortunately, he still failed."

As Tu Tai spoke, he walked over and unsealed the two freezers, revealing the bottles and jars inside.

Inside were mainly the bodies of two people, followed by numerous internal organs, and even the blood had been extracted and sealed separately.

"The blood must be kept. In the future, with new technology, we may be able to retrieve the sealed Six Paths Ninja Tools through their blood. You can take the rest for research."

Tsuchikage appeared quite generous. Although the two men's corpses were very valuable, the Raikage had already confirmed the feasibility of the plan to split the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki, which greatly reduced the value of the two men's corpses.

Compared to directly consuming the flesh and blood of the tailed beasts, the method of separating and sealing them is more reliable.

Furthermore, the project to devour the flesh and blood of the tailed beasts has already been halted by the Raikage; the sacrifices would be too great, and it's simply impossible to succeed.

Furthermore, based on their research on the corpses of Kinkaku and Ginkaku, it seems that the two devoured the corpses using their own bloodlines. They even claimed to be descendants of the Sage of Six Paths, which may be the source of the problem.

But that is obviously impossible to replicate and popularize, further reducing its value.

Of course, the most important thing is that the child made a great contribution this time, and these are the rewards for him.

For a ninja village to develop stably and sustainably, a clear system of rewards and punishments is fundamental. Merits must be rewarded to motivate the village's ninjas to work harder and contribute more effectively.

As for the Will of Thunder, of course it's necessary, but that stuff can't be eaten, nor can it make you stronger.

In their Hidden Cloud Village, empty promises and deceptions are not valued; instead, they emphasize tangible rewards and benefits. This is the foundation upon which the Hidden Cloud Village is united and rarely produces rogue ninja.

Tamura Hao naturally didn't stand on ceremony and quickly took out two new sealing rolls to seal the bottles and jars.

He then glanced at the other refrigerators but didn't find anything that interested him.

"Don't rush into trying things, especially experimenting on yourself."

Tu Tai solemnly warned, "Human experimentation is very dangerous."

"I value my life very much!"

With a chuckle, Tamura Hao naturally wouldn't experiment on his own body; these things were merely nourishment for Kaguya's phantom.

"Lord Tsuchidai, do we currently possess any relatively mature tailed beast sealing techniques?"

He immediately inquired, and although he really hoped to obtain the Six Paths Ten-Tails Coffin Seal, it was unrealistic in the short term, and he didn't know when he would have the opportunity to go to Konoha to make plans.

At this stage, we need to devise a sealing technique to encapsulate Kaguya's phantom; she can't remain in the spiritual world indefinitely.

"You want to use the same approach as the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts to utilize those things?"

Tsuchitai suddenly realized that this was indeed a good idea. However, human tissue is different from tailed beasts. Although the idea was good, it would not be easy to implement.

"The idea is good, but it's still very difficult. As for the sealing technique, you can wait. After we take down the Uzumaki clan, they will definitely have higher-level sealing techniques there, or even techniques specifically for sealing tailed beasts."

The plan to conquer the Uzumaki clan had already been laid out, and it was only waiting for Shimura Danzo to find out so that Konoha could cooperate in the operation before it could officially begin.

This time, the entire Hidden Cloud Village has come out in force, even the third generation of the Hidden Cloud Village will be involved, so the gains will definitely be substantial.

"Should we begin our campaign against the Uzumaki clan?"

Tamura Hiroshi understood, and his expression immediately turned serious.

"Sealing techniques are terrifying; even the Nine-Tails can be sealed. The Uzumaki clan must have many powerful killing moves. If we confront them head-on, the losses will be considerable."

Sealing techniques are truly terrifying, and the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan are even more so.

In particular, the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique can even split the Nine-Tailed Fox in two, making it an extreme one-for-one exchange.

"We have considered that we will not confront the Uzumaki clan head-on; our main attack will be on the other three villages."

Tutai also knew how terrifying the sealing technique was, but fortunately their real goal this time was to subdue the Uzumaki clan, so they naturally wouldn't forcibly attack and become enemies with them.

"Your mission is very important. Shimura Danzo's men are not so easy to fool. Don't give yourself away here."

After giving a few words of advice, Tsuchikage was very wary of Nashimura Danzo. Based on the intelligence he had gathered over the years, Danzo was definitely a ruthless character who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals and was capable of anything.

They are also extremely difficult to deal with and not so easy to fool.

"I will be careful."

Tamura Hao nodded seriously. He knew that Guo Ying was not someone to be trifled with, so he decided to use self-hypnosis to disguise himself, which was much more sophisticated than mere acting skills.

Hypnosis is a ninjutsu on par with the basic Three Body Techniques, and can also be considered a genjutsu. Its effects are quite good, especially when combined with certain drugs.

He had been practicing hypnosis for a long time, mainly to recall memories of his past life, which was why he was able to extract those erotic masterpieces.

Therefore, he is very skilled in hypnosis, and after a hypnosis session, he would become Danzo's loyal subordinate.

At the same time, he had built a bond with Root. If he could deepen that bond appropriately, he believed that Danzo would trust him even more if he got the script for Kabuto.
