Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 232 Dark Spring!

"Oh my god, it's so ugly!"

As soon as Tamura Hiroshi's consciousness entered Shimura Izumi's mental space, he saw a huge, scarlet figure. Although the figure was still blurry, its shape made it clear that it was not human.

"How dare you come in?"

The monster was very surprised to see Tamura Hao enter, and a greedy look appeared in its single eye that was flashing with scarlet light.

If I could devour this damn bastard, I would definitely be able to quickly improve myself and become even stronger.

"It's not in human form; is it because the beastly nature of the little three-tailed fox has taken over?"

Looking at the strange-looking thing, Tamura Hiroshi was slightly disappointed.

I thought that crazy girl's crazy side would be so powerful, but it turns out she didn't even have the upper hand.

Do you deserve the title of Danzo's daughter?

"Now that you've come into my world, stay and let me devour you!"

Blackish-red slime flowed from the monster's hideous mouth, and then it crawled over on its hands and feet, preparing to swallow this feast whole, bite by bite, in order to dispel the obsession of that will and gain complete control.

Unfortunately, before the monster could charge, a golden hand suddenly lashed out, deforming the monster's head.

Then came the second slap, the third, the fourth...

Suddenly, Tamura Hao was enveloped by a golden Guanyin statue. The statue had hundreds of arms behind it, which were wildly slapping at the monster.

That's right, this is the foundation of the Thousand Hands Welcoming Kill that Tamura Hao has been practicing, or rather, the Thousand Hands Welcoming Kill.

This is also a method of cultivating spiritual power. Once mastered, it allows one to draw upon and integrate natural energy to increase physical size and enhance attack power.

Although this is just a basic level, with Tamura Hao's spiritual power, beating up this blurry monster whose body hasn't even fully formed yet would be no problem.

"How could this happen?"

Shimura Izumi's spirit and will manifested, and he was stunned by the sight of the other side of him being brutally beaten.

This is not what I expected.

You have to understand that that damned bastard entered my mental space with his spiritual consciousness, without carrying any chakra. How could he possibly defeat my dark side?

This isn't right!

"And you, you actually dared to tempt me!"

Tamura Hiroshi grabbed Shimura Izumi's consciousness and imprisoned it with the Guanyin Dharma Image, then proceeded to give her a thorough beating.

Here one has to marvel at the wonder of the mental space. It is clearly just an illusory mental consciousness, yet it can still produce a bouncy, tactile sensation and even generate pain.

The pain brought Izumi Shimura back to consciousness, but she did not struggle; she was still confused.

She had endured this humiliation far too many times before and knew that resistance was futile.

What she cared more about was how this bastard was so strong.

"You can't kill me."

The blurry monster, almost turned into a ball, roared angrily. Although it was being beaten passively, it did not suffer any real damage.

"Wow, that's quite a bit of backbone!"

Tamura Hiroshi was delighted and used his sword intent to condense an illusory longsword, which he then slashed down.

The blurry monster, which was originally unable to cause any real damage, was instantly split in two, and let out a shrill scream.

"How could you possibly hurt me?"

The blurry monster was incredulous. This was clearly its own territory, so how could it have been harmed by this damned bastard?

Have you ever heard the saying?

"What?"

"The knife severs the flesh, the heart severs the soul!"

After finishing his sentence, Tamura Hao unleashed a flurry of attacks with his Eight-Slash Flash technique, hacking and slashing wildly at the blurry monster in front of him.

His sword intent differs from others' sword-sword unity realm; it is simpler and more brutal. It is the condensation and sublimation of spiritual will into sword intent, which can also be described as a blade of mental will, naturally capable of harming spiritual will.

Not to mention that he had also studied the Grim Reaper's short sword and gained some insights from it, which he incorporated into his sword intent, making it even more damaging to such spiritual entities.

The blurry monster's shrill screams never stopped, and they kept getting weaker, eventually turning into pleas for mercy.

But Tamura ignored him and continued his frenzied eight-slash attack.

The blurry monster had considered escaping, but it was currently restrained by the palm of the Guanyin image and had no way to escape.

After hacking away for an unknown amount of time, when the blurry monster faded from scarlet to bright red, the sound finally ceased.

"It even fades! What kind of unknown, substandard dye was used?"

Tamura Hao was very surprised, and even kneaded the shrunken, jelly-like bright red thing into a ball and picked it up.

"Stop playing dead. I can sense your presence. If you don't come out, I'll chop you down too."

Shaking the jelly in his hand, Tamura Hao could sense the fluctuations of fear within it, clearly indicating that there was another consciousness inside, though not the blurry monster from before.

Sure enough, threatened in this way, coupled with the already raised sword intent, a terrified voice came from the jelly.

"don't want!"

As the words fell, the bright red jelly slowly deformed, eventually transforming into a Raleigh version of Izumi Shimura, with all the crimson color converging in his right eye.

"It looks much better this way."

Looking at the one-meter-tall Izumi Rauri in front of him, Tamura Hao was quite satisfied.

I do indeed have a talent for treating mental illnesses.

His expression immediately changed, becoming ferocious and cold.

"So you want to eat me, right?"

This is clearly Ms. Izumi's dark side, and he is very familiar with it.

Everyone has a dark side, just to varying degrees, but few can develop an independent consciousness from it.

A real waterfall can help people bring their dark side to life and inspire independent consciousness.

Yakumo Kurama also unconsciously amplified his dark side using the power of his own bloodline limit, forming that ugly monster.

Miss Izumi is similar, but without the suppression of the beastly consciousness by the little three-tailed fox, she not only woke up but also became much more clear-headed and pure.

"I'm not eating anymore! I'm not eating anymore!"

Dark Spring quickly shook his head, but the greedy hunger in his bright red right eye remained intense.

This is an obsession she separated from herself, and it is also the foundation that supports her own consciousness; it cannot be erased.

Tamura Hao didn't pay much attention to this, but instead began to study the Dark Spring. He even tore off a piece and chewed it, finding it quite chewy.

"The fusion is very stable; we can observe it further."

Having determined the nature of this dark spring, Tamura Hiroshi was quite satisfied. He could continue to observe it, as it was of great research value.

After being released by someone, Dark Spring hurriedly darted behind the main personality, not daring to look at that damned bastard.

"Miss Izumi, as punishment for this, I will prepare a script for you specially tonight."

As his consciousness withdrew from the mental space, Tamura Hao pinched his delicate chin.

Since he made a mistake, he must accept the punishment, and he will specially create a script for him.

"You think I'm afraid of you?"

Staring resentfully, Shimura Izumi had long been used to those so-called scripted illusions, and after being tormented for so long, he was already used to it.

That damn bastard only has so many tricks up his sleeve.

Furthermore, I have no more ties in my heart now, so don't even think about threatening me.

"I like you just the way you are. I hope you don't cry tonight."

Tamura Hiroshi smiled broadly, saying that this would make it even more fun.

At the same time, I was thinking about which horror movie to choose.

That's right, he's not going to use those pornographic masterpieces anymore; he's preparing to stage a horror movie.

There are many things to learn from those horror movies in my past life. I must play with this young lady properly and not stop until she cries.

Without saying another word, he turned and left the room, intending to make himself a cup of tea and think carefully about the script.

After the person left and the Eight Thousand Spears seal stopped suppressing chakra, Shimura Izumi quickly condensed tiny wind blades at his fingertips to cut the binding ropes and regained his freedom.

"How should we eat him?"

At this moment, a blood-red light flashed in her right eye. Dark Spring communicated with her main personality, and her inner greed and hunger drove her to devour that damned bastard.

This is also the meaning of my existence.

"How would I know?"

Shimura Izumi was very frustrated. That damned bastard was not just strong, but strong in every way. He had no weaknesses and was impossible to attack.

"Can it still transform?"

He then asked about transformation, explaining that transforming into the Little Three-Tails would greatly increase one's strength, which would be very useful in future battles.

"Yes, and without the influence of the beastly consciousness of the little three-tailed beast, I can better control the transformed state."

Dark Spring replied that she had now completely merged with the power of the Little Three-Tails and could perfectly control it.

"That's good!"

Izumi Shimura breathed a sigh of relief; at least that trump card was still there.

He then left the room, wandered around the small building, and finally came outside to watch the three Uchiha Hikari girls practicing swordsmanship.

After watching for a while, Izumi Shimura got a little itchy to fight, so he went back to his room, picked up the double-headed naginata that someone had brought back, and joined the battle.

The three Uchiha girls did not refuse, and immediately, the light of their swords flashed continuously, and the crisp sound of their collisions rang out, indicating a very intense battle.

They fought like this until night fell, when the four women, still feeling unsatisfied, returned to the small building to take a shower.

"Where are your rooms?"

Sipping the milk tea prepared by Whirlpool Vanilla, Izumi Shimura couldn't help but ask.

She had previously looked at all the rooms in the building. There were no signs of anyone living in the rooms on the second floor. Only the room on the third floor had some traces, especially the large bed, but that belonged to that bastard.

None of these three live here?

"We sleep with our master at night, and he can help us cultivate and improve our strength faster."

He replied, sipping the vanilla swirl from his milk tea through a straw.

"Can sleeping really help with cultivation?"

Shimura Izumi was taken aback, but then became interested.

She had already witnessed the strength of these three back in the Land of Hot Springs, and today's sparring revealed that their strength had increased dramatically.

Even if the three of them possess powerful bloodlines, this rate of improvement is simply too exaggerated.

However, if there are special methods, that's another story.

"Our owner will continuously infuse our bodies with life energy through skin contact, nourishing our bodies..."

Whirlpool Vanilla made no secret of the true nature of nighttime cultivation.

The life force given by the master is not only enormous but also very pure, allowing it to be perfectly integrated into the body.

It is very beneficial to both the body and the development of bloodline and bloodline, which is the main reason why they can improve so quickly.

"It even has this effect!"

Shimura Izumi's eyes shone even brighter, and bloodshot color even reappeared in her right eye. The dark Izumi was also very tempted.

My idea was right after all; as long as I ate that damned bastard, I could become stronger.

"Kushina, don't you hate me?"

After pondering for a while, Izumi Shimura suddenly looked at Kushina Uzumaki, who was also drinking milk tea, and felt guilty.

Over the years, she has come to understand many things, especially after Shinnosuke's decisive strike, which made her think even more.

Perhaps she was wrong back then, and had many misconceptions. She was just a pawn used by Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shinnosuke Sarutobi.

"I only hate those who hurt our Uzushiogakure. Izumi-neechan didn't mean to hurt us back then; she was just deceived. So naturally, I don't hate her."

But Sister Quan, please don't stop us from taking revenge.

Kushina Uzumaki answered directly. She had also fused with some of the Nine-Tails' chakra and possessed the ability to sense good and evil. She had discovered that Izumi Shimura had no ill intentions towards her back in the Land of Hot Springs.

At that time, she knew that Sister Quan was indeed a good person, but she was just being used by bad people.

"Thanks!"

After a long silence, Shimura Izumi said thank you.

Her biggest regret at this stage is what happened to Uzushiogakure back then. Initially, she unknowingly deceived the Uzumaki clan under the orders of Hiruzen Sarutobi, and later she followed her father to kill the Uzumaki clan's ally, the Cloud Ninja, which indirectly harmed Uzushiogakure.

In particular, the destruction of Uzushiogakure was indirectly related to him. It was his father's men who left behind some tricks when they entered Uzushiogakure, which led to the destruction of Uzushiogakure and the death of countless people.

She felt guilty towards the Uzumaki clan and had always wanted to find an opportunity to atone for her sins.

Having gained Kushina Uzumaki's forgiveness has made her feel much better.

"You have a great talent for kendo."

Suddenly, Uchiha Hikari said that she had seen Shimura Izumi's swordsmanship during the battle in the Land of Hot Springs, and that his foundation was very solid.

In previous battles, it was discovered that the opponent had improved a lot. Although that shameless villain had manipulated the environment, such a significant improvement was enough to prove Shimura Izumi's talent in this area.

"Can I kill him with kendo in the future?"

When Shimura Izumi asked directly, she had not given up on the idea of ​​revenge, and she still couldn't swallow her anger.

"Going it alone is impossible, but we can join forces."

Shaking her head slightly, Uchiha Hikaru had to admit that the shameless villain's talent was improving much faster than theirs.

At first, I was able to suppress it, especially after I awakened the Kaleidoscope again, but it wasn't long before that bad guy caught up with me, and I was even at a disadvantage in the last battle.

With that inhuman growth rate, it's almost impossible to catch up.

"A group beating? Fine!"

Izumi Shimura doesn't mind teaming up with others, as long as they can defeat that damn bastard.

"What changes occurred after Izumi-nee fused with that modified three-tailed beast?"

Vanilla Whirlpool asked curiously, having heard her master describe the process of working on this Izumi sister, which mainly involved guiding the illusion and deeply fusing with the little three-tailed fox.

"I obtained all the bloodline power of the Three-Tails, and my chakra and body underwent a strange transformation. It was a very subtle transformation, and I don't know the specifics, but my skin became much whiter."

As she spoke, she raised her palm, revealing that the skin on the back of her hand was much whiter, even somewhat pale.

"That big bad guy must know something and is making some kind of attempt."

Kushina Uzumaki finished her milk tea and muttered to herself, knowing that the big bad guy must know some big secret, but he just wouldn't say it.

They always keep things mysterious and tantalizing.

Kushina Uzumaki was right; Tamura Hiroshi was indeed making some attempts.

"Deeply fusing with the tailed beast and combining it with chakra can indeed allow the body to evolve towards the Ōtsutsuki clan. However, the tailed beast alone is not enough. It is also necessary to transplant many Ōtsutsuki bloodlines onto it in order to achieve fusion and reversion to the ancestral form."

By observing and sensing Shimura Izumi's body cells, Tamura Hiroshi confirmed his previous guess.

After discovering that Shimura Izumi had merged with the small three-tailed beast sealed within his body, he had this idea in mind and then guided it to a deeper level of fusion.

As expected, it caused Shimura Izumi's body to evolve, a fusion evolution based on chakra bloodline, giving him the bloodline of the Otsutsuki, and in a very complete form.

Besides the fact that the small three-tailed one originated from the three-tailed one, and the three-tailed one originated from the ten-tailed one, the more important thing is that Orochimaru once transplanted a lot of bloodline limits into that small three-tailed one, all of which were Otsutsuki bloodlines passed down by the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura Otsutsuki.

Now, thanks to this opportunity, a regression to ancestral traits has occurred. Although they are still far from being true Otsutsuki, they have already laid a foundation and are no less than the descendants of Hamura on the moon.

This is because Shimura Izumi himself did not have the bloodline of the Otsutsuki system; he was simply a descendant of the Ninjutsu sect, inheriting only a pure chakra bloodline.

If Izumi Shimura possessed bloodlines similar to Kaguya Senju or Kaguya Hyuga, the magnitude of his improvement would undoubtedly be even greater.

"We can use the Ten-Tails to create some clones to evolve and integrate into the Sage Bloodline ninjas in the village. This will definitely allow us to quickly cultivate a large number of powerful individuals."

Tamura Hao thought this method could be used to train Uchiha Uzumaki Kaguya and Hyuga ninjas who joined Kumogakure. As long as they passed the loyalty test, they could participate in this bloodline reversion plan.

A ninja's training prioritizes bloodline, with the Otsutsuki bloodline being the highest level. Furthermore, the higher the bloodline level, the faster the training and the greater the limits that can be reached.

This will allow the village to quickly cultivate a large number of strong individuals. Six Paths level is difficult, but those at the level of Hashirama Senju should be able to compete. As for Kage level, they can be mass-produced.

This kind of atavism is essentially the same as Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha evolving with the help of the Ten-Tails, but that evolution is at a higher level.

Just as he was pondering, the door opened and four figures walked in; they were the four Uchiha Hikari women.

Tamura Hiroshi glanced at the clock and realized it was time to go to bed.

Without saying much, she skillfully untied the bathrobe she had put on after showering and lay down on the bed, still lost in thought.

The three Uchiha girls naturally lay down, resting their heads on someone's arm, receiving that life power through skin contact, and covered themselves with a large blanket.

After hesitating for a moment, Shimura Izumi also lay down, but only grabbed someone's wrist, and soon became unhappy.

"Why don't you give me the power of life?"

She glared at him with dissatisfaction. "I've been humiliated by you so many times, and you've even experimented on me. Can't you give me some life force?"

"You're still in the probationary period!"

Upon hearing this, Tamura Hao glanced sideways, then activated his eye technique to pull the four women's consciousnesses into an illusion space to create an illusion, especially targeting a certain crazy woman.

However, Tamura Hiroshi subconsciously overlooked the other personality within Shimura Izumi.

After the main personality was pulled into the illusion, Dark Spring immediately took control of the body. Its blood-red right eye was filled with greed, and it felt an extreme hunger in its heart.

She desperately wanted to devour that damned bastard, but a deeper fear gripped her. Reason told her that if she really tried, not only would she fail, but she would also be shredded into pieces and utterly destroyed by that bastard.

He hesitated for a long time between greed, hunger, and fear, but still couldn't make a decision. It wasn't until the moonlight shining through the window and he saw the tent on the thin blanket that some images flashed through his mind. They were the many illusionary scenarios that bastard had created for him in the past.

It doesn't seem like it's inedible, it just requires some effort.
