Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 206 Purple Reincarnation Eye

"That's it?"

The Third Raikage, who had prepared for a long battle and to endure pain, was a little confused. Was it that fast?

"The fusion is not difficult, the key is that it consumes a lot of energy. If Samehada hadn't swallowed a lot of Sharingan before, and if it didn't have a certain degree of regenerative ability, it would have been impossible to support the fusion of the bloodline elimination."

Tamura Hao withdrew his hand and explained, "Don't be fooled by his relaxed demeanor; the exertion is truly immense."

"How big is it? If it's a fusion of bloodline limits, can it be widely implemented?"

The Third Raikage asked questions while adapting to and controlling the new chakra.

"Fusing a bloodline limit requires consuming all the power of a Mangekyou Sharingan, and the chakra consumption is more than ten chakras. The consumption of fusing a bloodline limit is increased tenfold."

Furthermore, the fusion of bloodline limit is the limit; it cannot go any higher, after all, it's just a Mangekyou Sharingan eye technique.

This consumption is really huge. Obviously, the more attributes are fused, the greater the consumption, and it increases tenfold.

The fusion of dual-attribute bloodline limits requires the power of one Mangekyou Sharingan and ten chakra units, while the elimination of three-attribute bloodline limits requires the power of ten Mangekyou Sharingan and hundreds of chakra units.

Following this calculation, to fuse the seven attributes of the Bloodline Limit, it would require the equivalent of 100,000 Mangekyou Sharingan powers and millions of chakra.

No wonder even Madara Uchiha could only create Truth-Seeking Balls after becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki. Moreover, although Truth-Seeking Balls are a bloodline limit, they are not a complete bloodline limit.

This shows how difficult it is to fuse with a bloodline limit, and this eye technique certainly cannot fuse with a bloodline limit, since it is only a kaleidoscope eye technique and has its limits.

When I first fused with the bloodline limit, my eye technique struggled to convert the immense eye power it used.

To allow it to fuse with the Bloodline Limit, it must be elevated to at least the level of the Rinnegan eye technique, or even the level of the Rinne Sharingan.

"That's enough. I'll have Tsuchida come over later, and you can help him fuse Lava Release. After wiping out the entire Konoha Ninja Army, his bounty at the underground gold exchange will increase again. He'll have to bring several teams of elite Anbu wherever he goes, which is such a waste."

The Third Raikage understood, then briefly mentioned the earthen platform before focusing all his attention on the fusion of the new chakra.

He needs to integrate this new bloodline chakra into his body, triggering a transformation of the chakra bloodline in his cells and genes.

There is no shortcut to this step; it can only be achieved through continuous internal circulation and adaptation until the transformation is complete.

He was a bit annoyed about Tu Tai's situation. He was the one who fought and died on the front lines, but most of the credit went to Tu Tai, and his bounty kept rising. If things continued like this, his bounty might not even be a fraction of Tu Tai's in the future, which would be quite embarrassing.

"The bounty has increased again! As expected of Lord Tsuchikage, the mastermind of Kumogakure!"

Tamura Hao sighed, then observed the Third Raikage's physical condition through the device's display, especially at the cellular level, to ensure that no accidents would occur.

Fortunately, it uses the Third Raikage's own chakra, so there is no rejection; it just needs to be gradually adjusted.

Furthermore, the Third Raikage's chakra was vast enough to sustain him for a long time.

This period of adjustment lasted four days and five nights. Even with the strength of the Third Raikage, he was almost at his limit, especially in terms of mental will.

Fortunately, when the chakra in his body was depleted to less than 10%, the bloodline chakra finally fused perfectly with the cells and was integrated into the bloodline genes.

"Keep an eye on things, I'm going to take a nap."

The Third Raikage uttered a few words and then fell into a deep sleep. He was so exhausted that he was only able to stay awake by sheer willpower.

Tamura Hiroshi continued to use the equipment to observe the Third Raikage's physical condition and recorded the data for others to study.

No one else could help with this kind of experiment, so Tamura Hiroshi didn't ask anyone else to come over; it was just him and the Third Raikage.

Moreover, he doesn't want to reveal this ability for the time being. The more people who know about it, the greater the risk of exposure, which would be very troublesome.

"My chakra bloodline has indeed improved!"

After carefully observing the Third Raikage's body, Tamura Hiroshi made a judgment.

Fusion of bloodlines can indeed enhance chakra bloodlines. According to current data, the amount of chakra after the Third Raikage can increase by at least five times.

This is just a minimum estimate; the actual improvement will only be known later.

"Even bloodline limit elimination can be fused."

Black Zetsu emerged from the ground, quite surprised by the effect of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

I originally thought I could only fuse bloodline limits, but who would have thought I could even fuse bloodline elimination.

"It's a stretch; we'll have to upgrade the Ten-Tails' eyes to the Rinne Sharingan."

Tamura Hao's desire for the power of the Rinnegan grew stronger. He needed a portion of the Rinnegan's power as a catalyst to guide the evolution of the eyes of the Ten-Tails and Kaguya-hime, or rather, to complete them.

The only way to solve this is by examining Nagato's eyes. The Gedo Mazo would also work; those nine closed eyes are the disassembled Rinne Sharingan.

Of course, that was only the Rinne Sharingan at the six-tomoe level, which is the ultimate form of the Ten-Tails. The nine-tomoe Rinne Sharingan belonged to Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Madara Uchiha only activated the Rinnegan after approaching the moon and drawing out the sealed power of Kaguya Otsutsuki.

To be precise, it wasn't Madara Uchiha's, but Kaguya Otsutsuki's. However, the Rinnegan with six tomoe of the Ten-Tails was fundamental and extremely important.

However, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path is currently with Madara Uchiha and connected to him. In addition, the Sage of Six Paths is secretly watching it, making it difficult to obtain for the time being.

"Taking a small amount as a starter shouldn't go unnoticed."

Black Zetsu also felt that extracting a little bit of the eye power wouldn't be a problem, since Madara Uchiha retained a portion of the Rinnegan's eye power.

"What happened now?"

While continuing to observe the Third Raikage's physical condition, Tamura Hao asked questions.

He had noticed Black Zetsu's arrival two days earlier, but at that time he was assisting the Third Raikage in fusing his bloodline chakra.

This person must have come here for a reason.

"The Otsutsuki Relic has reappeared, and it has changed a lot. It should have become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki according to the path we set. Its Byakugan has evolved into Tenseigan, but it is purple and much worse than Hamura's golden Tenseigan back then."

Moreover, the murderous aura emanating from him was extremely strong, indicating he had undoubtedly experienced a major massacre.

Black Zetsu revealed his previous discovery: the reappearance of the Otsutsuki Relic would inevitably lead to revenge against Kumogakure.

"The purple Tenseigan."

Tamura Hao was surprised; he had thought it would be a blue Tenseigan like Otsutsuki Toneri's, but it turned out to be purple.

I remember in Otsutsuki Toneri's flashback, the Otsutsuki branch family seemed to have created a giant, unfinished, purple Tenseigan.

I just don't know how powerful those purple Tenseigan are.

"What is he doing?"

His expression turned serious; this chess piece was not easy to control.

Now that the Otsutsuki Relic has arrived, it should logically come to take revenge immediately, but it hasn't come yet, so there must be something more important.

"He went to Konoha to lie in wait. I suspect he wants to get Hamura's other eye, which is very likely in the hands of the Hyuga clan."

"They're quite cautious. Are they worried that revealing the power of the Tenseigan will be noticed by the Hyuga clan, leading them to take precautions?"

Tamura Hao understood. Otsutsuki Rei probably wanted to obtain his ancestor's Tenseigan first, and then come to Kumogakure to take revenge openly.

This is good, it gives them time to adapt to the bloodline elimination.

Although the Tenseigan is powerful, it is only comparable to the Rinnegan. Moreover, even if there are remnants of the Gedo Mazo on the moon, the Ten-Tails created based on them would not be much stronger.

They definitely can't reach the Six Paths level. As long as they're not at the Six Paths level, they can fight even without the Seeking the Dao Jade.

Not to mention they also possess sage techniques, which are among the few powers capable of countering the Otsutsuki.

"Can my sister use his eye power to evolve her Byakugan?"

Tamura Hao suddenly asked a question. He didn't have the Otsutsuki bloodline, but Kaguya did, and it was the original bloodline in the ninja world.

The Tenseigan evolved from the Byakugan. Kaguya's Byakugan is definitely not as good as the Tenseigan, but we can try to evolve it. There's also the Byakugan of the Ten-Tails.

"Theoretically, it is possible."

Black Zetsu thought about it for a moment and decided it was worth a try.

"Then we'll gouge out his eyes. The Tenseigan from Hiashi Hyuga's side is enough."

A surge of boundless greed welled up in Tamura Hao's heart. That was the most powerful force in the ninja world at this stage, and it was of great research value.

"The Tenseigan is not easy to deal with, especially since he also has a fragment of the Ten-Tails and a giant Tenseigan inside him, and the core is one of Hamura's eyes."

Black Zetsu reminded him that those eyes were really difficult to deal with.

Even if he's not as good as Hamura back then, he's very close to that level.

"We'll see when he gets here."

Tamura Hao also knew that the Tenseigan was not easy to deal with, and now he just had to wait and see when Otsutsuki Shari would come to take revenge.

If they arrive soon, they're out of luck; at best, they can force them to retreat. But if it's a year from now, then they can start making plans.

By then, not only will the Third Raikage be able to better control the fused Kekkei Tota and maximize his combat power, but I myself should also have fused Swift Release by then, further enhancing my strength.

Not to mention the scheme to obtain Madara Uchiha's eyes, which should be enough to allow Hikaru Uchiha to advance even further.

The three of them working together, they were sure they could kill one of the Otsutsuki Toneri.

"Where is that giant Tenseigan?"

Black Zetsu asked a question. Back then, he had looked at the memories of those descendants of Hamura, especially that member of the main family, and knew about the existence of that giant Tenseigan. That was a great treasure.

"Hamura won't let us get it, at least not the core eye, but we should be able to take down the Byakugan on the outside."

"And that space tunnel on the moon, guide someone there to take a look and confirm the situation."

Tamura Hiroshi also coveted Otsutsuki Hamura's eyes, but he knew very well that he couldn't get them.

After all, Hamura Otsutsuki wasn't dead yet; he even came back to life like the Sage of Six Paths.

Moreover, once you reach that level of strength, you are not easy to die. Even if your body ages, your soul will never decay.

After all, even tailed beasts can exist for a long time, and the existence of Black Zetsu itself proves the power of the Otsutsuki clan. Even the two sons of the Sage of Six Paths can be reincarnated continuously.

Before you have the strength to go toe-to-toe with the Sage of Six Paths and his brother, it's best not to provoke them too much. Even if letting them know about Isshiki Otsutsuki's existence makes them more cautious in their actions, there are limits.

"I'll arrange it."

Hei Jue understood perfectly, and his figure disappeared into the ground and left.

"Otsutsuki Toneri, please don't show your face again."

Tamura Hao thought of the future Otsutsuki Toneri. Now that he thought about it, Otsutsuki Shari should have already wiped out the main family on the moon. As for the branch family members, it was hard to say for the time being.

Even if Otsutsuki Rei goes berserk, he will definitely try to leave behind his bloodline, which is very likely to be the future Otsutsuki Toneri.

In order to change the plot and gain the power of destiny, it would be better for that person to disappear, since they're not exactly a main character anyway.

Leaving aside Tamura Hao's thoughts, on the other side, Black Zetsu quickly sneaked underground and soon arrived at Konoha, hiding in a ninja clan's territory some distance from the Hyuga clan's territory to keep watch.

Hiashi Hyuga has probably already awakened the Tenseigan. He might not be able to hide from those eyes, so it's better to stay away.

Anyway, it's just general surveillance; knowing when the two will fight is enough.

In addition, he needs to find a member of the Hyuga clan and arrange for them to go through the space passage that connects to the moon, cross over to the interior of the moon, and check on the situation of Hamura's descendants.

That's Hamura's territory. If he went there directly, he would likely be discovered. This is the only way he can investigate indirectly.

After observing Konoha for several days, they finally found a suitable candidate: a Hyuga branch family ninja who had recently retired from the battlefield to recuperate from his injuries. He was an elite Jonin and one of the few elites from the Hyuga clan who could be sent out on missions.

After the candidate was chosen, Black Zetsu left Konoha and began working to get intelligence delivered to the Konoha leadership.

"A mysterious ninja has appeared in this area."

Looking at the point marked on the map, Hiruzen Sarutobi took this information very seriously.

Although it was a deserted area with no inhabitants, it was still within the Land of Fire, and it was currently a time of war. The presence of unidentified ninjas there was definitely suspicious.

"Three squads were sacrificed, along with a special Jonin."

Mitokado Homura, who had read the intelligence, also looked grave, which proved that the other side had a Jonin.

"Hiruzen, we can't be careless during this time period; we must investigate thoroughly."

Koharu Utatane also valued this intelligence. The battles on all four fronts were already very difficult, and the Land of Fire could not afford any more problems.

Regardless of which ninja village the other party is from, they must be eliminated, and their activities investigated.

"Who are the Jonin-level sensory ninjas that the village can currently deploy?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi also felt that he should send someone to check, and that their strength should not be too low.

"There aren't many Jonin-level sensory ninjas left. Apart from those who have to stay behind to guard the village, only Hyuga Genka from the Hyuga clan remains. He withdrew from the battlefield last month to recuperate, and he should have almost fully recovered by now."

Mitokado Yan thought for a moment and quickly came up with a suitable candidate.

"Arrange for another Chunin from the Inuzuka clan to form an investigation team. Does the Yamanaka clan have any Jonin who can be deployed? It would be best to determine the other party's identity and intentions on the spot."

Hiruzen Sarutobi mentioned the Yamanaka clan, whose secret techniques are well-suited for interrogating people and can directly access their memories.

"No, but I suggest that you send Yuhi Shinku there. Things there are probably not simple."

Mitokado Homura recommended Yuhi Maku, who has been in the village for a long time and could go out and show her value.

"Then let Shinku go."

After some consideration, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally agreed.

Upon receiving the order, Yuhi Shinku immediately found two other people and set off to search the target area.

After Yuhi Kurenai left, Black Zetsu began the second step of his plan, luring Hyuga Hiashi to fight against Otsutsuki Rei and keeping him occupied, while simultaneously arranging for Shimura Danzo's men to keep an eye on the three who had left.

Leaving aside Black Zetsu's schemes and operations, on the other side, Kurenai Yuhi led her team on a rapid journey, finally arriving at the target area the afternoon of the following day.

"Mysterious Fire, blazing! Search for traces of the target as quickly as possible."

After confirming that the location was correct, Yuhi Shinku signaled to her two teammates to begin the search.

The two did not speak and began their search.

Retsu Inuzuka and his ninja dog worked together to search for human scent. This place was sparsely populated and there was hardly anyone around, but if there was a human scent, it definitely meant someone with a problem.

Hyuga Genka also activated his Byakugan to carefully search for any suspicious traces, especially traps.

The two worked together to search quickly, and after one night they made a discovery, eventually arriving at a cave by following the trail.

"Does the glowing water contain some special substance?"

Looking at the water deep inside the cave that emitted a faint glow, Kurenai Yuhi could only guess that it was a special liquid containing some kind of substance.

"This isn't water; it doesn't smell of moisture, and the surrounding area is very dry."

Retsu Inuzuka walked to the side and sniffed, denying the presence of water.

He even reached out and touched the surface of the water, which confirmed that it was not water.

"Mysterious Fire, have you discovered anything?"

Yuhi Shinku turned to look at Hyuga Genka, who had been observing the pool with his Byakugan activated.

"Baiyan's vision was distorted, but it doesn't seem like there's an ambush."

After careful observation, Hyuga Genka made a judgment that it could be roughly determined that there was no ambush inside, or at least no living beings.

"Let's go down and take a look."

After observing it for a while, and even picking up the strange liquid to take a look, Kurenai Yuhi finally decided to go in and take a look.

Without hesitation, the three jumped down and swam quickly into the depths.

Not long after the three entered the spatial passage, a small flying insect flew in. The insect circled once and stopped in front of a stone wall with writing on it. After looking at the ancient writing and the strange moon pattern, it flew over the pool of water once before flying away.

At the same time, Hiashi Hyuga, having been discovered by his clansmen, used the Tenseigan's spatial eye technique to secretly leave the village and arrive at the Valley of the End.

Upon arriving at the Valley of the End, Hiashi Hyuga immediately sensed a resonance in his eyes, as if there were other beings of the same kind around him.

"You really came!"

Sensing that clear resonance, Hiashi Hyuga felt a surge of murderous intent.

He had felt this way some time ago, and at that time he realized something was wrong, so he asked his clansmen to investigate the area around the village.

Finally, they discovered something unusual at the Valley of the End, and upon closer inspection, they found that there was indeed a problem.

My father had suspected that the clan was trying to steal their Byakugan to complete their bloodline and gain the power of their ancestors. Now it seems that was indeed the case, and they have set their sights on the Hyuga clan again.

Let me see just how much power you've gained!

Similarly, Otsutsuki Shari sensed Hyuga Hiashi's Tenseigan and realized that he had been discovered.

"The Tenseigan? Hyuga actually awakened the Tenseigan?"

Inside a secluded cave near the Valley of the End, Otsutsuki Shari was furious. He had previously discovered that someone in the Hyuga clan seemed to have awakened the Tenseigan, which was why he hadn't infiltrated Konoha but had instead observed and waited from the outside.

And needless to say, the other party's Tenseigan is definitely related to the arm that was severed from his back then.

He initially sought to steal Hyuga's Byakugan, but unexpectedly, Hyuga also stole his arm, thus gathering the power of both Otsutsuki and Hyuga and awakening the Tenseigan.

At the time, I still had a glimmer of hope, but now that we're so close, it's practically confirmed.

Although it seems that the opponent's chakra is not as strong as mine, probably because he was not sealed with the remains of the Gedo Mazo to become a Jinchūriki, the final transformation of the Tenseigan must have relied on the power of his ancestors.

His Tenseigan only completed its final fetal movement and became the complete Tenseigan after obtaining the power of the giant Tenseigan.

Originally, they wanted to find the ancestral eye that Hyuga might have sealed away, but unexpectedly, the other party also possessed the Tenseigan. Needless to say, the ancestral eye was in the other party's hands.

It's even possible that the opponent also possesses a giant Tenseigan, since the Caged Bird Seal of the Hyuga branch family is made from Tenseigan chakra.

The branch family system and the Caged Bird Seal have persisted in the Hyuga family for over a thousand years, and the Byakugan power they have accumulated is certainly considerable.

The opponent possesses a pair of Tenseigan, which allows them to guide and control the power of the giant Tenseigan. Obtaining the Ancestral Eye will likely be very difficult.

"The eyes of our ancestors will surely be mine, and your eyes will also be mine."

The Ōtsutsuki Rei's face grew increasingly ferocious, with a hint of greed in it.

Although the opponent is strong, I am stronger, and I will inevitably be the one to win in the end.
