Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 233 Hidden Mist Master

"Don't these suit Quan-nee's taste?"

The next morning, Vanilla Whirlpool, who had prepared breakfast, looked at Izumi Shimura, who hadn't touched his chopsticks and whose eyes were vacant, and asked him with concern.

Still thinking about those heartbreaking dumplings you ate yesterday?

That's your own heart, not someone else's. It's not that serious, is it?

"The breakfast was very good, but I'm not hungry."

After regaining her senses, Shimura Izumi glared at someone with resentment before shaking her head to indicate that she wasn't hungry, and then touched her stomach in confusion.

She wasn't hungry at all; in fact, she felt a little full. Moreover, her life force was very strong. Could it be that the bastard had secretly given her a life force last night?

Thinking of this, he glanced at the person who was eating and drinking heartily and snorted softly.

In the future, when I retaliate by ganging up on someone, I can go a little easier on them.

But that bastard is really a pervert, he actually came up with such a terrifying script. She was almost driven crazy last night and encountered a lot of disgusting scenes.

Thinking back to the script I experienced last night, I became angrier and angrier.

Tamura Hiroshi had a very good appetite today. He didn't know why, but he was very hungry, as if he had done some high-intensity exercise before.

After breakfast, Tamura Hiroshi went for a stroll at the construction site.

After such a long period of excavation, the Sanzen-Iwa ninja army's techniques have become increasingly skilled, and their excavation efficiency has also increased. At this rate, it will be completed in a month at most.

Ye Yue Ai, Huang Tu, and others were also patrolling here to prevent any powerful figures from Konoha from launching a surprise attack and causing trouble.

"Haojun, you've finally recovered."

Upon seeing Tamura Hiroshi approach, a smile forced onto his yellow face.

He only learned of the Hidden Cloud Village's plan after the war: Hao Jun would activate the transplanted Mangekyou Sharingan on the distant sea, and Raijin would act as bait to lure Might Guy, who had opened the Gate of Death, to the sea, where he would burn his life away and die.

Even so, both Thor and Tamura Hao suffered severe injuries. Might Guy, who had opened the Gate of Death, was incredibly powerful, and it was difficult to completely dodge his attacks even if one wanted to.

Although they didn't directly face Might Guy's outburst, they could all sense his terrifying power from the side, feeling that it was dozens of times stronger than the power their own father had unleashed.

As expected, he is the number one taijutsu user and the strongest taijutsu user in the ninja world.

"It's only partially healed; he still needs a long period of rest."

Tamura Hiroshi shook his head slightly, revealing a bitter smile.

"It's a miracle that they survived that kind of power."

Huang Tu was still shaken by Matt Dai's outburst back then; it was a power that completely exceeded his comprehension.

Afterwards, he took the medical ninjas from Iwagakure to visit Raijin, actually to examine him, and confirmed that his injuries were very serious, and that it was a miracle that he had survived.

This demonstrates the terrifying power of Might Guy and the Eight Gates, no wonder the Hidden Cloud Village is so wary of Konoha.

"I hope I won't have to face that kind of power again, or I'll really be dead."

Tamura Hao revealed a lingering fear in his expression, subtly suggesting that Konoha might still have someone like Might Guy who had mastered the Eight Gates.

"I also hope we won't face each other again."

Huang Tu shared the same sentiment. This was why, even after learning of the losses in that battle, his father still ordered him to stay here to maintain the four-village alliance and complete the mission entrusted to him by Kirigakure.

The stronger Konoha becomes, the more united the four great ninja villages should be. Only in this way can they cope with Konoha's attacks and take back the Four-Tails that Konoha has taken from them.

The ferocity of this Ninja World War forced Konoha to reveal its true strength, which far exceeded their previous expectations.

If they were to face Konoha alone, Iwagakure would surely be destroyed, even if Father had mastered the Dust Release: Bloodline Limit.

Even now, they can't even take down a front controlled by the Senju clan, which shows Konoha's terrifying strength.

They are simply too strong, on a completely different level from the four great ninja villages.

"It's good that you can recover. The future of the ninja world still needs outstanding young people like you to guide it."

At this moment, Master Yuan walked over, leaning on his cane. He was the current leader of the Kirigakure Ninja Army here, and was also in charge of the river excavation project and the occupation of the peninsula.

As for the young man before him, he couldn't help but marvel at his talent, comparing it to that of the First Hokage and that other one.

Fortunately, he does not possess a powerful bloodline limit, especially not a special bloodline limit like that of the Senju or Uchiha, so there is no need to worry about him growing to that level.

Compared to the Hidden Cloud Village, which is full of talented people, their Hidden Mist Village is far inferior. They finally had some young people, but they all perished in the last tragic battle, leaving not a single one behind.

Furthermore, they lost the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, which was even more fatal.

"That's just the future. The current ninja world still needs someone like you, Master Yuan, to steer it. We are all too young, lacking enough experience, and our methods of doing things are also lacking."

Tamura Hao and Yuan Shi exchanged compliments, showing that he would not underestimate this person in the slightest.

This person was of the same generation as the First Mizukage, and he lived a long life, surviving until the Fourth Shinobi World War. He orchestrated a coup and dealt with Obito Uchiha's pawns in Kirigakure, including the controlled Yagura Karatachi.

Finally, he handed the straw hat, representing the position of Mizukage, to Mei Terumi, making her the Fifth Mizukage.

Upon seeing Tamura Hao arrive, Yotsuki Evkai also rushed over. Not far away, Yekura, who was instructing the Sand Village ninja on their training, hesitated for a moment and then walked over as well.

I've missed that lecherous brat so much; I wonder how his injuries are healing.

"Are we going to the Land of Rivers next?"

After glancing at Ye Cang who was approaching, Master Yuan inquired about the next steps of the Hidden Cloud Village.

Regardless of what the Hidden Cloud Village might be thinking, their support this time was truly impressive and showed great sincerity.

Not only are there many powerful supporters, but even after being severely damaged in the last war, they did not retreat. Instead, they stayed with them, stationed here in Kirigakure, and firmly occupied this place.

They also contributed significantly to that major battle, and could even be considered the main force in the fighting, especially in terms of high-level combat capabilities.

However, these people from Kumogakure will definitely not stay here forever. They will probably head to the Land of Rivers to support Sunagakure, and there may be a fierce battle.

"We'll set off once the river channel is finished; we've been here too long."

Nodding, Tamura Hiroshi knew he wouldn't stay here long.

Lord Danzo even secretly sent a letter, asking me to cooperate in staging a play to severely injure Lord Danzo. Then, Lord Danzo would take the opportunity to temporarily withdraw from the southwestern front, allowing Hiruzen Sarutobi to take over the front and face their four-village alliance again.

He would naturally not refuse Danzo's orders, and would carry them out perfectly.

This is also a test for Lord Danzo, who wants to personally see the strength of his prospective son-in-law and see if he is worthy of Miss Izumi.

Of course, we must go all out for this, and we can also use this opportunity to further distance ourselves from Lord Danzo, so as not to be suspected of having any relationship with him.

For example, Hiruzen Sarutobi has been investigating the identity of Danzo's spy planted in Kumogakure; he's still up to no good.

Even without finding anything, the information Danzo could obtain was enough to deduce that the spy's identity was not low-level.

We must prepare in advance. For example, we can kill Lord Danzo this time. Anyway, Lord Danzo has Izanagi to protect him, so he won't die.

"There will inevitably be another fierce battle there. Our Kirigakure's ability to support them is limited. At most, we can send an elite team of a hundred men to go with you."

Master Yuan sighed. Although their Hidden Mist Village had gained a lot from this battle and even launched a grand strategy for future territorial expansion, they had also suffered considerable losses.

The coup and rebellion of that year severely damaged the village, and this time it has lost even more of its younger generation and nearly four thousand ninja soldiers. It is unknown how many years it will take to recover.

He couldn't say what the gains and losses were, but he hoped things would get better in the future.

Of course, the most important thing is to further cripple Konoha, so that they will have no time to interfere with or stop their expansion plans here in the future.

Therefore, it is necessary to send people to provide support and completely defeat, or even destroy, Konoha.

"We are very grateful for and in need of the support from Kirigakure. The terrain of the Land of Rivers is very suitable for the Kirigakure ninja to make their mark."

Yekura expressed her gratitude, explaining that the ninjas from Sunagakure were not well-adapted to the Land of Rivers, where there were too many rivers, swamps, and lakes, a terrain very different from the Land of Wind, which would greatly affect their ability to fight there.

They paid a considerable price to break through the Kikyo Mountain defense line occupied by Konoha.

If war were to break out in the Land of Rivers in the future, having a group of elite Kirigakure warriors to assist would make things much easier.

The group briefly discussed the upcoming war, and Yuan Shi didn't say much before continuing to observe the river excavation work.

Furthermore, he is not suited to interacting with young people, as their perspectives and understandings differ greatly.

After Master Yuan left, Tamura Hao suddenly felt a pain in his cheek, as Yekura had tapped him with a kunai.

"Bang!"

A cloud of mist dissipated, revealing its true form.

"laugh!"

Seeing the three little pigs drawn on someone's face, Yekura couldn't help but laugh.

She had vaguely sensed something was wrong, so she tried it out and found that the brat had indeed used a transformation spell.

I never expected it to turn out like this, it's quite cute.

Tamura Hao, who was talking to Huang Tu, realized what was happening and quickly formed hand seals to cast the transformation spell again, covering up the pig drawing on his face. Then he glared at the young lady with dissatisfaction.

I'll come over and deal with you tonight!

Although Tamura Hao reacted quickly, Huang Tu still noticed the abnormality on the boy's face and was momentarily stunned.

Finally, the dough twitched slightly, said nothing, and pretended not to have seen anything.

He does have that much emotional intelligence.

However, it's clear that Haojun didn't have a very comfortable time during his recovery period, otherwise he wouldn't have been tormented like this.

"Is Thor still unable to get out of bed?"

They then inquired about the situation of the Thor, who had been more severely injured, and wondered how well he had recovered after so much time.

"His injuries are more serious and he will need to recover for a long time, but it's only a matter of time."

When Ye Yue Ai answered this question, her expression revealed a sense of solemnity.

What do you think of the person from Konoha who plotted against Yukari back then?

Huang Tu shifted the topic to the person who broke the seal and captured the Four-Tails. This person must be from Konoha. First, the person was wearing Konoha ANBU uniforms, and second, the Konoha ninjas covered the person's retreat at the time, so they must have been Konoha ninjas.

He wasn't surprised that the other party could easily break the seal on the tailed beast of the purple beast. After all, the wife of the First Hokage was a direct descendant of the Uzumaki clan, and the Uzumaki clan leader back then had a close relationship with Konoha. It was even said that the barrier of Konoha was set up by the Uzumaki clan leader himself.

Therefore, Konoha must have inherited some of the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan, so it is normal that they were able to break the seal on Yukari so easily, and even easily sealed the escaped Four-Tails afterwards.

This person is someone we must be wary of!

"I saw with my own eyes that Zi pierced through his body, but the other party was not injured. Afterwards, he sealed the Four-Tails and took it away. When he left, the hole in his chest seemed to be repairing rapidly, which is very abnormal."

He wanted to discuss this matter when he visited Haojun, but Haojun was in a coma and seriously injured, and Ye Yueai and the others were also receiving treatment, so he couldn't ask.

Now that Haojun has come out, we certainly can't miss it.

The Hidden Cloud Village has the most information about the Hidden Leaf Village, so they might know something.

"It could be a bloodline limit, or a secret technique. For example, the Hozuki clan's water transformation technique can liquefy the body and make it largely immune to damage. However, the most threatening thing about that person is his sealing technique. Not just anyone can quickly break the seal on Senior Murasaki's tailed beast."

Tamura Hao maintained a serious expression and offered his guess. He naturally knew what was going on and even guessed the other party's identity, but he couldn't say it yet.

"I also guessed that way, but I don't know how many people like that are left in Konoha."

Yekura expressed concern, saying that such a person posed too great a threat to the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts. Once the seal on the Tailed Beasts was broken, the Tailed Beasts that escaped would attack them immediately.

The Four-Tails, which escaped last time, was preparing to attack the four Iwa ninja who were assisting Purple. It was only because that mysterious person acted quickly enough that he successfully sealed and took the Four-Tails away. Otherwise, who knows how much damage it would have caused, or even if they had won that battle.

"And next time we will likely face new Three-Tails Jinchuriki and Four-Tails Jinchuriki."

Fokai also had a serious expression. Although he knew what was going on, he had to act seriously and not show the slightest flaw.

During this time, he even kept hypnotizing himself, just because he was worried that someone might accidentally see something from his facial expressions.

Never underestimate a ninja's reconnaissance and analytical abilities; they can glean a lot from just a change in expression.

The group didn't leave; they continued to exchange ideas and discuss things, and even ate their meals there.

Meanwhile, Tamura's near-complete recovery also relieved Huang Tu, Ye Cang, and the others. This was their top combat force, enough to deal with any strong opponent.

When Thor and Tamura were seriously injured, they were worried that Konoha would suddenly attack again, especially by a strong person.

Fortunately, the Land of Fire and Konoha were in a state of turmoil during this period, especially with the death of the Fire Daimyo from a serious illness and the rise of a new Daimyo, which led to a series of troubles, preventing Konoha from focusing its energy on planning here.

But that couldn't last long. Now that Tamura Hiroshi has largely recovered, they finally have some confidence.

They continued their conversation until evening before dispersing. Yecang returned to his lodgings there to take a shower and prepare for rest.

But as soon as she entered the bathroom, she realized something was wrong; her body was being embraced.

Feeling the familiar muscle contours and the intimate embrace, Yekura slapped away the hand that was trying to grasp her.

"Did you rush over here to give me a back rub?"

In the past, I would come over after I had finished showering and was lying in bed, almost falling asleep, but now I come so early.

"I'm here to give you a back rub, Yecang-neechan. You can rub mine too."

Tamura Hao replied with a grin, then picked up the soap and rubbed it in his hands before pressing his palm against that smooth, beautiful back to create more lather.

Ye Cang didn't refuse. She had been held in his arms and slept with him so many times. Apart from not being able to break through to the next step, she had done almost everything else.

Most importantly, this lecherous brat is too strong and too domineering; he simply cannot resist him.

At the same time, she didn't want others to know about their relationship, so she could only let it be.

Yekura also picked up the soap and rubbed it in her hands, then turned around to apply it to someone, without any shyness.

I especially wanted to laugh when I saw the nine little pig patterns on the boy's face, chest, and waist, and I even saw the two little pig patterns on that bad thing.

"Serves you right for being a womanizer."

She could guess that it must have been drawn by Uchiha Hikaru or Uzumaki Kushina. Only those two girls, who harbored deep resentment towards that lecherous brat, might have done something like this.

"They got their comeuppance, but I also made them pay a heavy price, forcing them to mature a bit earlier."

This topic made Tamura Hiroshi look rather unwell. Using that special potion to paint piglets is nothing serious; at most, it will be eliminated through normal cell division and metabolism in a few months.

But that spiked club really hurt, a pain I'll never forget.

However, he also retaliated. The sex was secondary; the key was the illusionary script.

He always guided the two of them to transform their mental states into adulthood so that they could act without restraint and engage in countless acts of cruelty.

As for why it took so much effort to transform those two crazy girls into adult forms, it's mainly because the two girls aren't mature enough yet, and they're not the voluptuous type like Miss Mikoto; they just don't look quite the same.

Although he is only a fourteen-year-old boy, his mental age is already over thirty. Naturally, he prefers mature figures and has no interest in flat-chested girls.

"Serves you right!"

Ye Cang laughed, thinking that this lecherous brat needed to be taught a lesson, but then he became worried.

"How is your injury healing?"

When she saw the pitiful state of that lecherous brat, she was so worried that she couldn't eat or sleep for several days.

Although the lecherous brat briefly mentioned the recovery status of his injuries, Huang Tu and Yuan Shi were outsiders at the time, so the brat would definitely have held back some of his words.

She wanted to know his true physical condition, and hoped he wouldn't be forcing himself to stay in bed.

"Is Sister Yekura concerned about me?"

Tamura Hao pulled that tall figure into his arms, a mischievous smile on his face.

The young lady finally fell for him; her charm offensive had proven quite effective.

"I'm worried that if you die, the Hidden Cloud Village will stop supporting us."

She rolled her eyes at him and raised her hand to push him away.

"Get away, how can I scrub your back when we're this close?"

"You can rub it without using your hands."

Tamura Hiroshi didn't loosen his grip; in fact, he hugged her even tighter and showed the young lady his hands-free bathing technique.

"Shameless!"

Ye Cang couldn't hold back any longer and muttered "shameless."

"I love being Hakura-neechan's shameless bastard!"

Tamura Hiroshi was not ashamed, but rather proud, and his smile became even more radiant.

If he weren't still a minor, he would have wanted to execute her on the spot, then carry her back to Kumogakure to have a baby, so that he could better integrate into Kumogakure and become a proud Kumogakure resident.

Of course, haste makes waste. Before becoming a glorious member of the Cloud Village, one must sever ties with the Sand Village to avoid any messy, lingering problems.
