Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 199 Clear Mind

"Ah Hao's strength has improved again!"

Upon arriving at lightning speed, Ye Yue Ai watched the two fighting on the sea and marveled at the extraordinary talent of her junior brother.

It hasn't been long since they last met, but the speed has increased dramatically, to the point that even they can hardly see it clearly.

"It's not just the increase in speed; the whirlwind around his body has also become finer."

Fukai values ​​the whirlwind surrounding Tamura Hiroshi more.

He is also studying wind-attribute nature transformation in order to improve his movement speed and the sharpness of his dual swords.

Compared to what I saw last time, the student's trench coat was spinning faster and more finely, which allowed it to perfectly push away the air in front of him and eliminate air resistance.

The next step is to turn the wind into a driving force to increase speed.

This cultivation speed is truly superhuman.

"In terms of combat strength, he is no less than the Kage of other ninja villages, and he is no worse than my father was before."

Ye Yue Ai gave it a very high rating, saying it was absolutely top-tier among the Kage-level.

As for his own father, he has already surpassed the level of a Kage, or even long ago.

And Ah Hao will inevitably surpass his father in the future, perhaps even reaching the level of the First Hokage.

Kushina and Vanilla Uzumaki stood on the backs of flying birds in the sky, watching the battle, both with their Sharingan activated.

Although their Sharingan is still only one tomoe, it provides powerful dynamic vision. Combined with the activation of Sage Chakra, the effect is no less than that of the three-tomoe Sharingan.

Even so, it was still difficult to see the speed of the two people's movements; they could only catch a glimpse of each other at the moment of their clash.

"You've definitely become much faster!"

After a fierce battle, seeing that he still couldn't hurt his opponent, Uchiha Hikaru flashed out a hundred meters away.

The combination of eye techniques and the Flying Thunder God Technique is indeed very fast, but that shameless villain's reaction speed is also very fast, and he can block it in the first place. Continuing to fight like that will not achieve any results.

The only option left is to use another tactic!

The second eye technique erupted, attempting to turn the knife around.

But they discovered that it wasn't just the authentic sword that had been turned around, but also a figure.

Sensing something was wrong, Uchiha Hikaru hurriedly tried to escape using the Flying Thunder God Technique, but a pair of scarlet eyes came into view. The next moment, his consciousness appeared in a genjutsu space, and his body was bound into a shameful position.

Then my body was lifted up and pressed down, followed by a familiar pain.

Startled for a moment, Uchiha Hikaru was filled with shame and indignation and wanted to fight back.

However, this is the Tsukuyomi space, which has a stronger suppression on the target's mental will. In addition, with Kaguya and the Ten-Tails as backup, even Uchiha Hikaru's eye power is difficult to shake.

Tamura Hao even used his mind to create thousands of copies of the two people's spirits and wills, so that they could carry out the education of love together.

After three days and three nights of this, when the deadline arrived, Tamura Hao took the second step of his revenge, wielding his Masamune sword to shave the girl's head until it was completely bald.

"Indeed, not holding grudges is the most comfortable state."

Looking at that shiny bald head, and even touching it, Tamura Hao felt instantly at ease.

I've always held onto that grudge, and it's always bothered me. Now that I've gotten my revenge, I feel much better.

Indeed, one should be more magnanimous and not hold grudges.

Supported by Kushina Uzumaki and the other woman, Hikaru Uchiha was so angry that he almost ground his teeth to powder. How could this bastard be so vengeful? He still remembers it after all this time.

Moreover, how could that shameless villain do such a thing within the Tsukuyomi illusion, and do it for three days and three nights straight?

The pain accumulated until she lost sensation in her lower body.

This is not a physical injury, but a shock to the mind and will; it will take quite a while to recover.

"Your eye technique is not invincible; be careful when using it in the future."

After giving him a verbal lecture, Tamura Hao left with a satisfied smile.

As for Yoruichi and Fukai, they decisively retreated the moment someone started having sex.

Some kinds of entertainment are best avoided, especially women's entertainment, otherwise you'll definitely be targeted and made things difficult for others.

"Shameless villain!"

The girl was trembling with anger, inwardly cursing her carelessness.

Knowing full well that the bastard also knew the Flying Thunder God Technique, he still used that eye technique.

But how come he's using the Flying Thunder God Technique so well now, without even forming hand seals?

"Hikari-neechan, how about we get a wig?"

Collecting the strands of hair that had fallen onto the water's surface, Whirlpool Vanilla asked cautiously.

Hikari's expression is so scary, it's terrifying.

"No!"

Looking at that wet, glistening hair, Uchiha Hikaru almost ground his back teeth to powder.

Besides, it's just hair. She's seen those hair-related secret techniques before, and all she needs to do is let it grow back quickly.

However, Miss has made a note of this!

Instead of going back immediately, Tamura Hiroshi found a hot spring bathhouse to soak in, achieving both physical and mental relaxation.

"Guang must hate you to death right now."

After entering the hot spring pool, Ye Yue Ai and Fukai breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but complain.

"Let him hate me if he wants."

Tamura Hao didn't care. Anyway, he would never be a simp or a nice guy. Countless tragedies in his past life had already proven that simps and nice guys rarely had good outcomes.

If you're going to do something, be a domineering CEO. Not to mention, he's a man destined to become the Sea God, so he can't be soft-hearted. He must show absolute toughness and a vengeful nature.

"Just do it!"

Fukai muttered to himself, "This student always has a lot of twisted logic."

"How did the talks go?"

Yotsuki A inquired about the Four Kage Summit, which was no small matter. The other three great ninja villages would definitely make adjustments to the war.

"It was a success. We informed them that Konoha was secretly conducting Wood Release experiments. Once the Edo Tensei incident comes to light, the three great ninja villages will definitely be furious, and maintaining the four-village alliance will not be difficult."

Tamura Hao briefly explained that the key point of this Four Kage Summit was intelligence sharing and increasing the threat posed by Konoha; the deal was secondary.

Because Konoha will definitely try every means, at any cost, to destroy the alliance of the four villages, thus causing the four great ninja villages to fight each other.

If things go wrong, the blame could be shifted to Kumogakure, given their significant improvement over the past few years, which would certainly make the other three great ninja villages envious.

Therefore, we must find a way to maintain the relationship between the four villages, and it would be best to keep it going forever.

Just then, Onoki proposed a meeting, and they took this opportunity to make their plans.

"Konoha's potential is indeed terrifying."

Fukai sighed, noting that Konoha's foundation was far superior to that of their four great ninja villages. They could even hold out for so long against four opponents, and who knew what trump cards they had up their sleeves.

"Konoha's potential is indeed terrifying."

Tamura Hao deeply agreed, but he knew that the truly terrifying aspect of Konoha was that it could give birth to the reincarnations of Indra and Ashura, who were destined to become extraordinary powerhouses.

It can be said that Konoha is the core of this world, the core chosen by the Sage of Six Paths, and everything else is just an accessory.

Leaving aside the three people exchanging words here, on the other side, Senju Shiki and Tsunade led the ninja army to finally repel the attack from Iwagakure. However, upon returning, they learned that the camp had been attacked by a mysterious person, and Nawaki and the clan elders had died in battle.

"Rope Tree!"

Seeing the nearly melted headband handed to her, Tsunade swayed and knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

Why was the younger brother murdered?

Why?

"It must have been Hiruzen Sarutobi and his group who did it."

After inquiring about the investigation results, Senju Toki immediately guessed that it must have been Hiruzen Sarutobi and others who were behind it, and even the sudden attack by the Iwagakure army seemed suspicious.

This is clearly an attempt to lure them out of the camp and then send someone to ambush and kill Rope Tree and the others.

Too ruthless, too vicious!

Tsunade gripped her headband tightly without saying a word; she couldn't help but suspect the teacher.

First of all, they had kept the news of Rope Tree's awakening of Wood Release a secret, so it was impossible for outsiders to know, especially the Iwa ninja on the other side.

Furthermore, it wouldn't be easy to assassinate Nawaki, who is protected by clan elders and others. It couldn't have been an Iwa ninja; it must have been someone from within the clan.

Adding to the issue of motive, the only people capable of taking action are the teacher and the Uchiha clan, with the teacher being the more suspicious.

Was Rope Tree really murdered by the teacher?

"Tsunade, pull yourself together. Go and treat the wounded first. I'll handle everything else."

After glancing at Tsunade's condition, Senju Orange Water offered a word of comfort, then left quickly with a gloomy face.

It has now been further proven that Hiruzen Sarutobi and his group wanted to kill them, and they have no bottom line whatsoever.

They must prepare for the worst and use some radical methods.

He also needs to quickly integrate the two types of transplanted cells and master the three powers of Wood Release: Sage Mode and Flying Thunder God.

At the same time, Shimura Danzo on the other side also received news that Nawaki had been attacked and killed by a mysterious person, and immediately realized that it was his old friend who had made the move.

"Lord Danzo, Nawaki is dead."

Orochimaru also obtained the information and immediately went to Shimura Danzo, expressing his suspicions about the letter his teacher had sent him last time.

He also suspected that the teacher was behind it, as both the ability and the motive were the most likely to fit the description.

Teachers usually hand over such dirty work to Danzo Shimura to handle, which makes him suspect that Danzo Shimura was behind it.

"I didn't order the rope tree to be killed."

Danzo Shimura replied indifferently, this time speaking from the heart.

He had only just begun to provoke the war and hadn't even figured out how to take advantage of the situation to attack Nawaki when the news arrived.

Orochimaru remained silent, staring intently at Shimura Danzo, who met his gaze without flinching.

After watching for a while, Orochimaru smiled, turned around and left, but paused just before he was about to walk out.

"Lord Danzo advised me to stay away from my teacher back then. I'm giving you that advice today: you'll never become Hokage if you follow your teacher."

After saying that, Orochimaru strode away.

This time he was truly enraged. Firstly, Nawaki was his student, and secondly, Tsunade was his partner. He cherished these two bonds.

But now Rope Tree has been murdered, and in such a cruel way.

Needless to say, Tsunade will definitely come to hate him as well, and he doesn't know how to face Tsunade anymore.

"Hiruzen, you're still the same as ever, unwilling to get your hands dirty."

After Orochimaru left, Shimura Danzo muttered to himself, his words tinged with mockery.

Needless to say, this matter will definitely be pinned on me again.

However, these frustrating days will soon be over, and then I will become the Hokage!

Leaving aside the undercurrents in Konoha, the fighting on the front lines in the Land of Hot Springs remains the same, with Izumi Shimura participating again, though he's much more excited today.

Because that damned bastard has appeared, the day for my revenge has arrived.

"Damn bastard, I'll finally get to taste your filthy blood. It'll taste delicious."

Staring intently at the figure opposite him, Izumi Shimura couldn't help but show a dazed expression, wishing he could slice it into pieces and eat it bite by bite.

Seeing this, the Uchiha around them couldn't help but move away a bit. They knew who this person was, but they were more concerned about his mental state than his identity.

Something just doesn't look right; it has a creepy feel to it.

Tamura Hao naturally noticed that strange look in her eyes, further confirming that the girl seemed to have a mental problem, but he didn't know if she was crazy or insane.

"Be careful, or she might try to take you down with her."

Fauci whispered a reminder that the girl's mental state was very strange.

"I will be careful."

Tamura Hiroshi nodded; he naturally wouldn't give Shimura Izumi the chance to die together.

He then turned his gaze to the three unfamiliar faces in the front row, who should be the three who had awakened the Kaleidoscope.

He coveted the Mangekyou Sharingan of these people and had to get his hands on it, especially Uchiha Myōkyō's pair of Mangekyou.

Last time, because I wanted to subdue Uchiha Hikaru, I only extracted his eye technique and didn't gouge out his eyes. But I didn't have as many concerns when facing Uchiha Myōkyō. I took it away after he had mastered his eye power.

With the addition of Madara Uchiha's Eternal Eyes, he didn't believe he couldn't create a pair of Eternal Eyes.

At worst, we can wait until Uchiha Shisui awakens Kotoamatsukami in the future and then incorporate his Mangekyou Sharingan into it.

Three pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan from the same bloodline, plus Madara Uchiha's eye power guidance, should be enough.

If all else fails, we can wait until Uchiha Sasuke is born in the future and then do some Indra chakra fusion.

As Tamura Hao's greed surged, the battle continued, and soon the rounds of Jonin were over, and it was time for the battles of Kage-level powerhouses.

Yotsuki A was the first to enter the arena, followed by Uchiha Fugaku.

Tamura Hao watched intently, especially the battle between the three new Mangekyou Sharingan Uchiha, attempting to further analyze their Mangekyou Sharingan abilities.

After everyone had taken their turn, Tamura Hao stepped out of the battle line carrying Zangetsu.

That's right, he didn't use Masamune because he knew that Shimura Izumi would definitely participate in the battle. Shimura Izumi was good at using the wind attribute and was also skilled in swordsmanship, making him a perfect candidate for sparring with wind attribute swordsmanship.

Sure enough, seeing Tamura Hao finally take to the field, Shimura Izumi, who had been impatiently waiting, stepped forward, carrying his three-section sword with a foolish smile, and charged forward without uttering a single word.

"Clang!"

The three-section sword and the Zangetsu clashed, and their eyes met. Shimura Izumi's eye flashed with a scarlet light, and a scarlet tailed beast cloak appeared on his body.

This was using the power of the little three-tailed beast within her. She knew that this damned bastard was very strong, and without using the power of the little three-tailed beast, she was no match for him. She had to unleash her full power to cut him into mincemeat.

"Miss Izumi, this knife seems to be of good quality; it's quite difficult to cut through."

Tamura Hao spoke jokingly, this set of three-section swords was much stronger than the last one, and it did not produce a notch when it clashed with his own Zanpakuto.

It is evident that a large sum of money was spent to have it built.

"I'll kill you! I'll kill you..."

Izumi Shimura still displayed a madman-like demeanor, muttering "I'll kill you" as he wildly slashed with his three-section sword. The fusion of tailed beast chakra and wind release chakra not only greatly enhanced the strength of the sword but also increased its sharpness.

Even the extended air blades left fine marks on the surrounding ground, demonstrating Shimura Izumi's current power.

Besides improving his sword, Shimura Izumi's physical attributes have also greatly improved. The power and speed that burst forth from his petite body have forced Tamura Hiroshi to take him seriously.

This is not only the power of the Three-Tails, but also the many bloodline cells that Orochimaru has incorporated, especially the body of Kaguya, the clan leader.

Facing such a powerful opponent, Tamura Hao was not surprised but delighted. He needed such a strong opponent to hone his wind attribute swordsmanship.

Izumi Shimura possessed the strengths of both the Shimura and Sarutobi families, and his physical and sword skills were perfectly suited for Tamura Hiroshi to learn from.

After exchanging blows for several minutes, seeing that he still couldn't defeat that damned bastard, Shimura Izumi changed his fighting style, connecting the three sections of his sword together to form a double-headed naginata. His swordsmanship became more expansive and aggressive, revealing a kind of madness, as if he wanted to take Tamura Hiroshi down with him.

And that's exactly what Shimura Izumi was thinking; he wanted to die together with someone.

Moreover, with the Tailed Beast Cloak, it is difficult for ordinary attacks to break through her defenses, allowing her to attack to her heart's content.

This style of play put considerable pressure on Tamura Hiroshi, but it was exactly what he wanted.

Pressure is what drives progress!

The battle remained deadlocked for half an hour without stopping, and Shimura Izumi finally unleashed his ultimate move.

"roar!"

After a furious roar, a three-meter-tall monster appeared, looking like a turtle, but its body was covered with bone spikes, and its four claws were also very long.

"I'll eat you, I'll eat you..."

Shimura Izumi's slogan changed from "kill you" to "eat you," and his one eye became even more bloodshot.

Then, its massive form coiled up and spun at high speed, crushing towards Tamura Hao. The bone spikes on its body and tortoise shell extended further, transforming into sharp longswords, each imbued with powerful wind-attribute chakra, making it look like a meat grinder.

"What a scoundrel!"

After making a comment, Tamura Hiroshi fought and retreated, rapidly swinging his sword with incredible speed, all the while marveling at Orochimaru's amazing modification technology and Shimura Izumi's ruthless decisiveness.

This is truly inhuman!

The battle then entered a stalemate, lasting from sunset until nightfall, with neither side able to gain the upper hand.

Shimura Izumi tried several times to use the million explosive tags he carried to perish together with others, but Tamura Hiroshi retreated immediately each time, not giving him the chance to detonate them.

They even managed to steal the sealed scroll containing the explosive tags at the end.

Seeing his strongest move stolen, Shimura Izumi gritted his teeth in anger, but he also knew that he couldn't kill that damned bastard right now.

"I will definitely kill you!"

Seeing the boy retreat to a distance of thirty meters, Shimura Izumi, who had reverted to his three-tailed form, gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with a fierce look.

"Welcome to try again next time. This is for you."

Tamura Hiroshi's smile remained gentle as he tossed over a specially prepared photograph.

He reached out and caught the photo. Looking at the horrific scene on it, Shimura Izumi's delicate face became even more ferocious.

Wind-attribute chakra flowed through his palm, shredding the photograph into tiny pieces.

"I'll eat you up!"

Shimura Izumi glared at someone resentfully before turning back.

She was going to leave. Since her current strength was still insufficient to kill that damned bastard, she would go and increase her strength.

My father once pointed out a path to improvement that suited me: to devour the Three-Tails' chakra, and ideally, to devour the entire Three-Tails, at which point I would become the Three-Tails' jinchūriki.

If I could master the Tailed Beast Ball, I could definitely blast that damned bastard to smithereens.

Shimura Izumi's reaction made Tamura Hiro realize that the girl wasn't crazy or insane, or at least not to a very high degree.

Sending out that photo was just a test, and the result was pretty good. Otherwise, it would have been troublesome if he really went crazy.

If we were to lose Lord Danzo's trust, and consequently affect our future right to inherit his estate, we would suffer a huge loss.
