Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 191 Insidious Inducement

"I will bring that piece of evidence to you, Haojun, as soon as possible."

Having heard the detailed intelligence, Hanzo was full of confidence.

It's just a beast; taking it down won't be difficult.

"Then I'll wait for Hanzo-senpai's good news."

Tamura Hao smiled broadly. Because of his relationship with Lord Danzo and Orochimaru, he couldn't directly go and target that front, but it wouldn't matter if he sent Hanzo, a demigod, over there.

"By the way, if you encounter the hermits of Ryuchi Cave there, Hanzo-senpai can also try to obtain their flesh and blood cells."

Their level of cultivation in immortal arts is higher than Xin Ya's, so using their flesh and blood as the initial medium for cultivating immortal arts will be more effective.

Finally, he added that the White Snake Immortal and the three Snake Immortals were all of great research value, but unfortunately they slipped away too quickly and decisively last time, and he couldn't catch them.

It's unlikely we'll run into each other there, but what if we do?

"The Snake Sage".

Hanzo was very interested in this. As a strong person, he would not hesitate to pursue strength. If there was a better medium, that would be the best.

"Does the cultivation of immortal arts require their flesh and blood as a foundation?"

He asked out of curiosity, still not understanding the cultivation of immortal arts.

"It requires a medium. The three holy lands each have their own medium. Mount Myōboku uses toad oil, Ryūchi Cave uses the snake venom of the White Snake Sage, and Shikkotsu Forest uses the acid of the Slug Sage. They are all very dangerous and require an extremely large amount of chakra to resist the erosion of those medium powers, otherwise they will be completely mutated and lose their lives."

Although Lord Hanzo's chakra is vast, it is not enough to walk that path. He needs to increase it at least three times to be qualified to enter the field.

In response, we developed a magical incantation that can control that mutation to some extent, thereby aiding in cultivation.

Tamura Hao did not hide anything and revealed the basics of cultivating immortal techniques.

"Three times the chakra, and that's just the starting point!"

Hanzo was shocked, but then he understood when he thought of the First Hokage's inhuman chakra reserves.

If immortal arts were so easy to cultivate, they would have been commonplace long ago. It's normal for them to have such high requirements.

Even now, no one in the Senju clan seems to be using Sage Mode, which shows how difficult, and even dangerous, it is.

The two chatted until late at night before Hanzo personally escorted Tamura Hiroshi back to his room, further deepening their intimacy.

After Hanzo left, Tamura Hiroshi went to the bathroom to wash himself, especially brushing his teeth and washing his face, even brushing his tongue thoroughly.

The hot pot I just ate was too spicy, so I need to wash it thoroughly, since I'm going to find a pillow to sleep on later.

After taking a shower, Tamura Hao took out a sealing scroll, unfolded it, and activated it with chakra. A barrier expanded and enveloped the room to prevent anyone from sensing anything amiss.

He dug under the bed and, using the chakra of the Ten-Tails, disappeared underground, sneaking towards Pakura's room.

This is a type of Earth Release ninjutsu. It's not anything special in itself; it simply softens the surrounding soil to make it easier to move forward, much like swimming. It doesn't involve changing your body to merge with the earth.

To put it simply, it's about digging a hole underground.

Arriving directly below Yekura, Tamura Hao floated up and began to pry open the floorboards one by one.

This is a flaw in Earth Release ninjutsu; it can only move underground, and it can't move through other materials, such as wood.

He crawled out from under the bed, but before he could even stand up, a kunai was pressed against the back of his neck.

"Stop fooling around!"

Unconcerned, Tamura straightened up, turned around, ignored the young lady's threat, hugged her in his arms, and then fell onto the bed, pressing his cheek against her smooth, snowy back.

While Ms. Yekura's chest may not be quite as full as Ms. Karura's, her snowy back is truly stunning; she deserves the title of the most beautiful back in Naruto.

After struggling for a moment, Ye Cang glared at the person with dissatisfaction, realizing that she couldn't break free from their brute force.

"What are you doing here?"

"I can't sleep alone, so I came to sleep with Sister Yecang."

Tamura Hiroshi's performance at this moment truly resembled that of a thirteen-year-old boy, even capturing a touch of childlike innocence.

I'm still a child. What's wrong with me having an older sister keep me company at night?

"You've gotten used to sleeping with a beautiful woman in your arms at night, haven't you!"

Ye Cang sneered. She had been keeping an eye on this lecherous brat. She couldn't get detailed information, but she knew the general situation.

That brat has never lacked women around him, never has.

Last time in Konoha, she even managed to abduct the young lady of the Uchiha clan, and she still had a fiancé.

"I'm used to it; it feels strange to sleep alone."

Tamura Hao did not deny it; he, Tamura Hao, was indeed that kind of benevolent.

In his view, being philanthropic is nothing special, as long as one doesn't start something and then abandon it. He believes he can afford to support as many people as he wants with his own assets, and he is confident he can keep them in check.

"Let go! What do you take me for?"

Seeing the boy shamelessly admit it, Ye Cang became even more furious and scolded him to let go.

I'll treat you like my girlfriend!

"And I've already said I'd bring you back to the village to be my wife, Yecang. Whether you agree or not is irrelevant. I'll give the Kazekage and the others a dowry that will satisfy them, and I think they'll be happy to marry you off to our Kumogakure."

Tamura Hiroshi spoke naturally, without the slightest affectation.

He's a man destined to become the god of the sea, not some mere sea king.

Aquaman relies on deception and skill, but Poseidon achieves miracles through sheer power, suppressing all enemies with absolute strength.

"you……"

Ye Cang was so angry that she couldn't speak, and she felt even more uncomfortable after feeling that hot and hard touch.

"How is Little Scorpion now?"

After taking several deep breaths, Yecang calmed down a bit and then asked about Scorpion's situation.

"He's having a great time, focusing all his energy on puppet research, and his mindset has improved a lot. This is his letter; give it to Chiyo when you get back."

Tamura Hao took out the letter he had brought. It was a letter written by Sasori to Chiyo and her brother. He had specifically asked Sasori to write it.

The little boy is now completely immersed in the ocean of science, to the point of true self-forgetfulness, and doesn't want to pay attention to anyone.

As for his grandmother and great-uncle, he probably forgot about them long ago.

"What exactly are you after Little Scorpion?"

Ye Cang felt increasingly uneasy; it was no accident that this lecherous brat had tricked Xiao Xie away.

There was a ulterior motive, but she couldn't understand what the other party was plotting.

Although Sasori is a puppeteer and has received the true teachings of Elder Chiyo, and can even design and make puppets on his own, puppetry is not compatible with the fighting style of the Hidden Cloud Village, and it also requires some special materials from their Land of Wind to make.

What exactly is this bastard plotting against Little Scorpion?

"It was Xiao Xie's choice to come with us. He wanted to explore new puppet paths, but none of you supported him, so he had no choice but to come to us."

"Don't worry, it won't hurt Little Scorpion. Besides, Sister Carol is watching over there, so everything will be fine."

Tamura Hao revealed Karura's existence, and the second phase of his plan against this young lady could begin.

"Galura isn't dead? He's still in your Hidden Cloud Village?"

Yecang was taken aback, then overjoyed and excited.

She had a good relationship with Gallo, and she was heartbroken for a long time when he died in battle.

"It was almost like death. When I found her, she was in a terrible state. She had extensive burns and both her legs had been blown off."

She was suicidal after waking up, and it took a lot of persuasion to get her to pull through. She's been staying at my house ever since. If you ever come to Kumogakure, you can visit Karura-neechan.

"It's good that you're alive!"

Yekura understood why Karura was still alive but hadn't returned to the village, and hadn't even sent any letters.

He suffered extensive burns and lost both legs; if it were me, I definitely wouldn't dare go back.

You can face it with family, but what about your lover?

"Karu-neechan doesn't want anyone else to know that she's still alive, especially Rasa-kun. Yokura-neechan, you have to keep this a secret."

Tamura Hiroshi offered a reminder, but also expressed his belief that the person would keep it a secret.

Anyway, it doesn't need to be kept secret for too long, a year is enough.

"Don't call me that so intimately, I don't know you at all!"

Despite his earlier retort, Ye Cang was still angry inside.

They made it sound so good at first, and she was even a little tempted, only to find out later that this lecherous brat was a womanizer.

So annoying!

"What are you doing?"

Suddenly, Ye Cang felt a burning heat behind him, as if a branding iron had been placed on him. He turned around and glared.

What is that lecherous brat up to now?

"Don't move, just feel it with your heart!"

By imprinting the Eight Thousand Spears mark on Yekura through contact, Tamura Hao indicated that he should carefully sense the changes in his body.

Although she was annoyed by the lecherous brat's actions, Yekura still went to sense the changes within herself.

All that could be seen was his own chakra rapidly converging towards the previously scorching spot, being quickly absorbed by it.

In the end, its own chakra fluctuated slightly, as if in resistance, but was ultimately completely absorbed.

Just as he was wondering what was going on, a familiar yet unfamiliar chakra flowed back into his body. It was his own chakra, but it was different.

"What happened?"

A dim, scorching fireball condensed in his palm, then split into five. Ye Cang was puzzled and wondered what was going on.

She felt that her control over this chakra had increased significantly, and her control over the Scorching Release had also greatly improved.

The improvement is enormous!

Previously, I could only barely control four Scorching Release fireballs, but now I feel like I can control five at the same time.

It's important to know that each additional Scorching Release Fireball not only makes tactical applications more flexible, but also doubles in power after fusion.

Similarly, the difficulty of operation will also double.

I only recently broke through the Jonin limit with the help of that black flame, which is why I was able to control four Scorching Release fireballs.

How did this double his chakra control?

There are some things you can't know right now.

As he casually remarked, Tamura Hao raised his hand and grasped the five small Scorching Release fireballs, then used Amaterasu and Kagutsuchi to deeply integrate the Amaterasu flames into the Scorching Release fireballs.

The small fireball, which was originally just a dim light, turned black at a visible speed, and its temperature also rose rapidly.

In fact, to be precise, Amaterasu Flame can be seen as a transformation of fire attribute nature change, just like Black Lightning and Purple Lightning, both of which are existences that transcend ordinary nature change.

This kind of change in nature can naturally be fused, but it is very difficult. However, with Kagutsuchi, a special eye technique that controls fire, it is not difficult.

Of course, the reason why it was possible to fuse and improve so easily was mainly because Yecang had laid a good foundation and integrated that small wisp of Amaterasu flame into his own Scorching Release.

Although the strength wasn't very high, at least there was a foundation; otherwise, even if Tamura Hao wanted to use Kagutsuchi to control the fusion, it would be difficult for him to succeed.

That wasn't all. After fully integrating the Amaterasu flames, Tamura Hao incorporated the Ten-Tails' chakra into it, guiding the creation of a Rasengan.

Amaterasu's Rasengan!

Although it was small, only the size of a fist, the power it contained greatly shocked Yekura.

If such a chakra ball were to be thrown, even the Kazekage would likely find it difficult to withstand.

"This is called the Rasengan, did you learn it?"

Resting his chin on that smooth shoulder, Tamura Hiroshi asked.

"What do you want to do?"

Ye Cang was very wary. This lecherous brat was no good person, and he was exceptionally intelligent, a master of scheming.

Doing that clearly indicates ill intentions.

"We have gathered some information that Danzo Shimura and Orochimaru, who are confronting you, seem to be conducting Wood Release experiments in an attempt to recreate the Wood Release of the First Hokage."

Besides these, there are some dangerous experiments. Once they're ready, a fierce battle is bound to break out. I hope you don't get hurt then; it would break my heart.

Tamura Hao earnestly tried to deceive her, saying that he was simply giving the young lady some additional means of survival.

"Who needs your pity!"

Ye Cang rolled her eyes, but her anger subsided considerably.

This lecherous brat may be a womanizer, but he's also very willing to make sacrifices.

He was able to break through so quickly before thanks to that black flame, and now he has improved a lot again.

For ninjas, strength is life itself, especially during the current war.

Tamura Hao noticed the change in her tone and realized that this young lady had indeed succumbed to the allure of true fragrance.

"Why isn't Rasa-kun accompanying the Third Kazekage this time?"

Changing the subject, Tamura Hiroshi was curious about what the gold miner was doing.

"He is currently undergoing a breakthrough in his cultivation."

Yecang simply said that this was not a secret on the front lines.

"Then we'll help him break through as soon as possible."

Tamura Hao smiled. It was clear that Rasa had been stimulated by Yekura's breakthrough, which was exactly the result of his plan.

Yekura and Rasa's training progress is about the same. During the last Chunin Exams in Konoha, the two of them reached the level of elite Jonin.

That's why he gave Yekura a portion of Amaterasu Flame to try and fuse with, thereby accelerating the transformation of her chakra and enabling her to become a Kage-level powerhouse.

As expected, Yekura did not disappoint him, and even broke through to the Kage level first, so the pressure on Rasa was unimaginable.

In reality, it is very difficult for a normal ninja to break through to the Kage level before the age of twenty. The gap between Jonin and Kage level is huge and extremely difficult to overcome.

Only those overpowered individuals can break through to become a Kage-level expert in their teens.

Although Yekura is a bloodline ninja, it is still very difficult for her to break through before the age of twenty.

But things have changed now, and Luo Sha-kun must be very anxious right now.

Now that Amaterasu Flame has been completely integrated into Scorch Release, and with the aid of Rasengan, Pakura's strength has increased further. Even if Rasa breaks through to Kage level, he will be suppressed.

Once on the battlefield, the difference in skill level becomes apparent, especially when facing stronger opponents.

All that's left is for Rasa-kun to lose his temper and secretly do something underhanded, then I can win the beauty's heart and carry her back to Kumogakure.

Although it's simple and crude, it never fails.

The previous sealing of Hatake Sakumo's Yin was also a scheme of this kind. For those in power, the most intolerable thing is something beyond their control.

In that situation, being powerful is a sin!

"This Rasengan is a secret ninjutsu of your Hidden Cloud Village, and you just passed it on to me like this."

Using her own chakra to maintain the Rasengan, Pakura felt it was wrong to acquire this ninjutsu.

"The essence of the Rasengan is very simple: it is to make chakra spin at high speed in your hand. Once you understand this principle and have enough control over your chakra, you can use it."

Minato Namikaze of Konoha has already developed a replica of it. You saw the Rasengan during the Chunin Exams, so it's perfectly reasonable for you to figure out how to use it. However, it can't be revealed to outsiders.

Tamura Hiroshi offered an explanation, stating that Namikaze Minato had indeed created a replica of the Rasengan, a fact known from the memories of those toads.

The Rasengan itself was created by Minato Namikaze in the future. He had seen the form of the Rasengan during the Chunin Exams and then developed it based on it, so it's not surprising.

That's how ninjutsu is; countless people imitate and copy it.

For example, the Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall Technique is essentially the same, but it will differ in form and strength. For instance, the dog heads on Kakashi's Earth Flow Wall.

"Those two girls are your girlfriends too, right?"

Ye Cang suddenly sneered. At that moment, she realized that the relationship between the two girls and this lecherous brat was not simple.

This sudden change left Tamura Hiroshi stunned. How could things have changed so suddenly?

"Yes, Kushina is from Uzushiogakure..."

He readily admitted it, and then recounted the experiences and backgrounds of the two women.

Of course, regarding Vanilla Uzumaki, he only said that she was captured and had her blood sucked, without mentioning that it was the Grass Ninja Village.

The destruction of Kusagakure still needs to be kept secret for a while longer.

Hearing about the two girls' backgrounds, Ye Cang fell silent, feeling a mixture of sympathy and even guilt.

She felt reluctant when they attacked Uzushiogakure, since it was Sunagakure's invasion, and they had no prior grudges against Uzushiogakure; the war was purely driven by greed.

Although he wasn't as naive as Gallo's ideas, he still had a sense of right and wrong.

Right is right, and wrong is wrong!

Although my mission at the time was to guard against the hidden forces of Sunagakure and Konoha, and I did not fight against the Uzumaki ninja, I did participate in that war.

"I also participated in that war. If I really go to Kumogakure with you, aren't you afraid we'll start fighting?"

Suddenly, Ye Cang asked a question. He didn't want to face those two little girls, nor did he want to confront the Uzumaki ninja.

"So, Yekura-neechan agrees to come back to the village with me?"

Tamura Hao smiled broadly; the young lady was indeed smitten.

"I mean, hypothetically!"

Yekura corrected him impatiently, wondering what this lecherous brat was going to do.

"If Sister Yekura has killed people from Uzumaki Village, it would indeed be difficult to handle, but according to Sister Karura, you didn't target the Uzumaki ninjas in that battle..."

Tamura Hiroshi had already thought of a solution to this problem, so it shouldn't be a big issue.

"Forget about it. I won't go to Kumogakure with you, not even if it kills me!"

Yecang didn't want to leave the village and go to Kumogakure instead.

Not to mention that this lecherous brat has so many girls around him, she's even less likely to go over there.

Moreover, I will achieve great merit on the battlefield and then become a high-ranking official in the village, just like Lady Chiyo, who can veto your deals with the village.

However, what Yecang didn't know was that this idea of ​​hers was actually deliberately induced by the boy. Only if she performed well enough on the battlefield could she pose a sufficient threat to Luo Sha and the others, thereby forcing them to resort to underhanded tactics, so that they could perfectly poach her.

"The future is unpredictable."

With a grin, Tamura Hao fell silent, his cheek pressed against that smooth, beautiful back as he went to sleep.

Yekura, however, did not fall asleep. She suppressed her chaotic thoughts and focused on comprehending and mastering the Rasengan in her hands.

This Rasengan was created by that lecherous brat. She needs to understand its essential structure and create it herself to truly master it.

She took the information the lecherous brat had revealed very seriously, and she was certain that Konoha would retake the battlefront in the Land of Rivers.

There will inevitably be a decisive battle between the two sides. Only those with great strength will survive, minimize the village's losses, and then improve their status and position within the village.

Only insignificant people are likely to be sent away by the village. Once you become a high-ranking member of the village, no one can decide your future.

This power must be firmly grasped by oneself.
