Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 246 Luo Sha's Murderous Intent

Upon arriving at Kikyoyama Castle, Tamura Hao sent a shadow clone to deal with Rasa and the others, while he himself went to the accommodations arranged there to recuperate.

Although he further perfected the Eight Gates after the battle with Might Guy, and his physical abilities also improved during this time, especially with the modification of the Swift Release Fusion, the opening of the Death Gate was still very uncomfortable.

Even with the life force of the little ten-tailed fox and the injection of Grell's energy, it still had to lie down for several days.

"Isn't that a bit too harsh?"

Looking at the two girls who had stripped themselves naked, hung up, and started painting with that special potion, Tamura Hao felt that the previous training had been too lenient.

"That's how ruthless we have to be!"

Kushina Uzumaki's fierce yet adorable bared teeth—she was bullied terribly last time, nearly broken in the illusion.

Even if we don't use spiked clubs this time, we still have to paint this big bad guy all over with little pigs.

"You just wait!"

Tamura Hao could only angrily threaten that once he recovered, he would give those two girls a good beating and give them that kind of illusionary training every day.

"Hurry up and draw, the vanilla is almost here."

Sensing her best friend's chakra rapidly approaching, Kushina Uzumaki urged her on, and she herself formed hand seals to create more than a dozen shadow clones that quickly drew around someone.

Uchiha Hikaru activated his Mangekyou Sharingan and Chidori Speed ​​to enhance his speed, and operated on Tamura Hiro's back.

It was a portrait of a very, very strong woman, the kind with a beard and chest hair, swaying her hips and twisting her waist, very alluring and seductive. Even Uchiha felt that his Mangekyou Sharingan was about to go blind when he looked at it.

"You've gone too far!"

Vanilla Whirlpool rushed over and opened the door to find her owner hanging upside down while painting. She was so angry that her face turned red.

How could you treat your master like this?

"It was just drawing a picture; it didn't hurt him."

Kushina Uzumaki released her shadow clone and was very satisfied with her creation.

But when he turned around and saw the beautiful woman that Uchiha Hikaru had transformed into, he was immediately amazed and realized that he had been too conservative.

"vanilla!"

Tamura Hiroshi was so moved by what he had just been taken off that he almost cried. My little vanilla is so considerate.

"Wow! This was so much fun!"

Ye Yue Ai, who followed in, couldn't help but grin when she saw her junior brother covered in pig images. This whole family seemed to be having a lot of fun.

"hiss!"

As Fauci entered with his student, he looked around at him. When he saw the portrait of a beautiful woman on the student's back, he couldn't help but gasp and quickly looked away to avoid being blinded by her beauty.

"Is there anything more exciting?"

Noticing Fukai's unusual behavior, Yozuki Ai curiously walked over, only to regret it later.

"My soul has been defiled!"

Covering her eyes, Ye Yue Ai wished she could gouge them out.

Why am I so despicable?

"What did you draw on my back?"

Tamura Hiroshi sensed something was wrong and turned to look at Uchiha Hikaru, who was beaming with pride. This girl definitely didn't draw a pig.

"I drew a beautiful woman!"

Uchiha Hikari looked even more pleased. She had been preparing for this day for a long time, and she had paid a high price to get the original portrait.

"Vanilla, bring me the mirror."

Tamura Hiroshi felt even more uneasy. What exactly did that girl draw on his back?

"Master, it's best not to look."

Even Vanilla Whirlpool didn't dare look at that portrait of the beautiful woman; it was just too much of an eyesore, and looking at it too much would surely make her go blind.

"No need to look in the mirror, I have the original artwork here."

Uchiha Hikaru took out the original drawing and placed it in front of Tamura Hiroshi, staring intently at the other's face, waiting for the next facial expression performance.

To her disappointment, Tamura Hiroshi breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the original drawing.

"I thought it was something special, is this all?"

He gave the girl a disdainful look. As a new-era youth with nothing to his name who had traveled from the global village, what kind of scene hadn't he seen?

In my past life, there were countless images on the internet that were even more outrageous than this, and I had seen many similar ones. The Romantic Olympics were even openly displayed on the screen.

In comparison, the world has not yet entered the internet age, and people's imaginations have not yet been unleashed.

"Isn't that enough?"

Uchiha Hikaru was indignant; this wasn't how she should react.

That only proves you lack knowledge.

Tamura Hao's disdain deepened, and he immediately instructed Whirlpool Vanilla to use the remaining potion to cover up the portrait of the beautiful woman behind him.

Although I don't think that portrait is anything extraordinary, I still feel uneasy having it on me.

This medicine binds very deeply to the proteins in the skin; unless you peel off that layer of skin, you can only wait for it to gradually fade away.

This isn't a big deal in itself. Just like the little pigs that Kushina drew, there's no need to hide them. Even if someone sees them, it doesn't matter. Besides, Yotsuki Ai and Fukai have already seen them anyway.

Last time, Huang Tu and a few others saw it, but now there are just more of them.

Ultimately, she's still just a young girl, and her thinking isn't mature enough.

"Who are they going to deal with this time?"

When Ye Yue Ai got down to business, she mentioned that the previous letter contained very little information and did not specify who she was dealing with.

The junior brother's current appearance is very similar to that after he opened the Eight Gates last time, so he must have opened the Eight Gates Formation again.

What kind of enemy could force Junior Brother to open the Death Gate to deal with it?

"He's the one who escaped from the five Otsutsuki warriors who attacked our Hidden Cloud Village. He's become even stronger. He was one of the people we fought in the Valley of the End."

Fortunately, this time it was dealt a heavy blow, and it won't be able to cause trouble for a long time to come.

This time we obtained his eye, and its pupil magic ability is very strong…”

Tamura Hao explained the Tenseigan's abilities in detail. Although the previous battle was so intense that Otsutsuki Shari didn't have a chance to use his eye techniques, he only released a repulsive force.

But he had already obtained those eyes, so it was reasonable for him to reveal the information about the pupil technique within them.

I wonder what the situation is like with Hiashi Hyuga. But after Hiruzen Sarutobi's scheme, he will definitely hide like Fugaku. The following plot will definitely be very interesting.

The more complex the situation within Konoha, the more advantageous it is for them. A Konoha plagued by constant internal strife and chaos is exactly the kind of Konoha they want to see.

"Has anyone seen this?"

Fukai asked gravely, "If people see the fighting strength that their Hidden Cloud Village has displayed, the Four Villages Alliance will probably be difficult to maintain stability."

The main reason why the Four Villages Alliance has been able to form and maintain itself to this day is that it has a common enemy, Konoha.

The depth of Konoha's strength is far beyond that of other ninja villages.

If their Hidden Cloud Village were to reveal their ability to kill such a powerful figure, they would inevitably be feared by the other three great ninja villages, and the alliance would be difficult to sustain.

"I didn't sense it. Our appearance and actions were very brief, less than half a minute. We even sprayed a special solution to eliminate the smell before leaving."

Tamura Hao also valued this point, and the reason he waited until Hyuga Hiashi's chakra had disappeared before using the Heavenly Delivery Technique to attack was also to minimize the chances of something going wrong.

They can perfectly surround and kill one person quickly and decisively, but they are less confident when facing two people.

It's good that the Otsutsuki Relic escaped, since the opponent was only one person and their base was still on the moon. But Hiashi Hyuga is from Konoha, so he will inevitably leak their information, which would be troublesome.

"That's good!"

The group breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the information wasn't leaked, they could continue to guide the Four Villages Alliance against Konoha.

"Konoha is very strong now. According to my senses, the Otsutsuki Relic seemed to have gone to attack the Hyuga clan leader, Hyuga Hiashi, and the Hyuga clan leader's chakra was not much weaker than his."

There's also Uchiha Fugaku and Shimura Danzo, who have been hiding in the shadows all along; Jiraiya, who has mastered Sage Mode and Lava Release; Orochimaru, who gave me a very strange feeling last time; Senju Tokisui from the Senju clan; and Minato Namikaze, who has also grown up. None of them are simple beings.

After taking stock of the strong individuals Konoha currently possesses, Tamura Hao no longer believes that Kumogakure is stronger than Konoha.

The main problem is that my rise to power has been too short, and the changes I've brought to Cloud Village haven't been profound enough. I still need to continue to develop stealthily.

Konoha's foundation is too strong. The Hashirama cells and the Mangekyou Sharingan alone are enough for those people to play with in a variety of ways, not to mention the Hyuga Byakugan.

In addition to the Impure World Reincarnation technique of the Undead Legion, they also have many other methods, so even after years of trouble caused by the Konoha F4, they can still become the protagonists in the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Even the villains are connected to Konoha; they are either rogue ninjas who left Konoha or have ties to Konoha.

Look at the Akatsuki organization: Pain (Yahiko), the eldest brother, Nagato, and Konan were all disciples of Jiraiya.

The Uchiha brothers Itachi and Sasuke, as well as Orochimaru, were all rogue ninjas who left Konoha. Kabuto Yakushi also counts, Obito Uchiha was a hero of Konoha, and Madara Uchiha was one of the two founders of Konoha.

The Fourth Shinobi World War was practically an internal conflict within Konoha; the villains, heroes, protagonists, and bosses were all Konoha's people—it was unwatchable.

Compared to them, the four great ninja villages were far inferior, and in the end, they didn't even qualify to be bystanders.

Therefore, we cannot afford to be reckless; we need to continue to develop cautiously and cautiously. We can wait until the next Shinobi World War to attempt to destroy Konoha.

"There's still a long way to go."

The group deeply agreed, noting that Konoha's foundation was far too profound, far surpassing that of other ninja villages, not even the current Hidden Cloud Village.

However, their Hidden Cloud Village has greater potential. As long as they continue to develop, it's only a matter of time before they surpass Konoha.

"By the way, I also vaguely sensed Fugaku Uchiha's chakra earlier. He should also be hiding in this war zone. We must be one of his targets."

When asked about Uchiha Fugaku, Tamura Hao offered a reminder.

"Did we nerf the Uchiha clan too harshly? Should we allow some of the Uchiha ninja to be redeemed after the Fourth Shinobi World War?"

Fukai thought of the Uchiha clan. A weakened Uchiha clan was not what they wanted. The reason they attacked so ruthlessly back then was because they had no other choice. The Uchiha had taken the initiative to attack and broke the original alliance.

"No need. Fugaku-kun's power is far greater than we anticipated. One Fugaku-kun is enough to rival many Double Mangekyou Sharingan users."

Tamura Hao was well aware of Uchiha Fugaku's current potential, which had already surpassed that of the future Uchiha Obito. He had mastered some Yin-Yang Release and Sage Mode, and with the reawakened Mangekyou Sharingan, the Seven-Tails, and Wood Release, his strength had already exceeded the Kage level.

Such a Fugaku Uchiha is enough to ensure the strength of the Uchiha clan and to make Hiruzen Sarutobi and others wary, which is enough for their Hidden Cloud Village.

The group understood that if Fugaku Uchiha displayed even greater strength than before, it would indeed be enough to ensure that the Uchiha clan would not be wiped out by Hiruzen Sarutobi and his group, or at least to deter Hiruzen Sarutobi and his group.

"The reinforcements led by Hiruzen Sarutobi will arrive at the camp tomorrow. I wonder when they will launch the final battle."

When Yoruichi mentioned the Konoha reinforcements, he realized that the decisive battle was imminent.

Because Konoha is currently very weak, almost completely depleted, this is a desperate attempt by Hiruzen Sarutobi and his team to provide support, and they cannot stay on the front lines for too long.

Regardless of the outcome of the decisive battle, those people must return to Konoha as soon as possible, so it won't be long before they attack.

"It'll be in the next few days. Do you have any intelligence on the enemy camp? The last night raid must have had quite an impact on them."

Tamura asked about the situation at the opposite camp, wondering if there was anything interesting going on.

"After that battle, Jiraiya rushed over alone to try to rescue Tsunade, who had been captured by you, but before he could get there, he was taken away by Minato Namikaze. He must have had a tough time during that period, either feeling depressed or preparing for battle with resentment in his heart."

Fukai brought up something, and Jiraiya was also a key target of their attention.

"Jiraiya, it's a pity that we couldn't win him over."

Tamura Hao felt regretful. He did admire Jiraiya to some extent, but unfortunately, Jiraiya was a die-hard fan of Konoha, his own bonds were with Konoha, and he had a deep affection for Konoha, so there was no way to win him over.

Even with Tsunade's involvement, it's impossible.

"What did you do to Tsunade?"

Kushina suddenly asked, "I was terrified when I saw Tsunade's limbs being cut off by this big bad guy last time. He must have bullied Tsunade a lot this time when he returned to the village."

"What can I do to her?"

Rolling his eyes at her, Tamura Hao explained, "I fought her. She activated the Death Gate of the Eight Inner Gates to amplify her power, and she's still soaking in the Water of Life. She'll need at least a month to recover."

"She'd open the Death Gate and fight you? Is she really that hot-tempered?"

The group was shocked; he was fighting desperately, which was unusual.

"You must have bullied Tsunade again."

Kushina Uzumaki was 100% certain that this big bad guy had bullied Tsunade again, otherwise he wouldn't have fought so desperately.

"She bullied me first, and then when I took the opportunity to help her with her treatment, she inserted several tubes."

Tamura Hao didn't think he was wrong. He always believed in repaying kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge. No one could bully him and then get away with it.

"How many were inserted?"

Fukai and Yeyue Ai had a strange look on their faces. They thought of the erotic novel he had written, which seemed to contain similar plots. They wondered how ruthless he was.

"They're all inserted."

Tamura Hao appeared quite composed. He, Tamura Hao, had always acted with integrity and had nothing to hide.

"No wonder they're willing to fight you to the death!"

The two of them looked even more bizarre. You really know how to cause trouble.

"You despicable villain!"

Kushina Uzumaki was furious. This big bad guy was so despicable; all he did was bully girls like them.

Uchiha Hikaru cast a disdainful glance at him; this shameless villain was getting more and more shameless.

Only Vanilla Whirlpool wholeheartedly stood by her master, believing that everything her master did was right.

"You've mastered Swiftness?"

Uchiha Hikari suddenly asked a question. The battle to kill that Otsutsuki relic hadn't lasted long, but she could tell that this shameless villain's chakra was different.

The wind-style chakra is much stronger, and there is also a special chakra that surpasses ordinary chakra.

She was certain that it was chakra from a bloodline limit. The Sharingan could see chakra to a certain extent, and she had encountered many bloodline limit ninjas before. She would never mistake that kind of chakra.

Moreover, this shameless villain's outburst was much faster than before, especially the moment before he opened the Death Gate, which startled even her.

"You succeeded?"

The group was both surprised and delighted. They hadn't expected that they would actually fuse their bloodline limits so quickly, as they had thought it would take some time.

"We succeeded by sheer luck!"

After a moment of modesty, Tamura Hao was quite satisfied with the Swift Release technique he had created. Not only did it greatly increase speed, but it could also be combined with other techniques, such as the Eight Gates Formation to open the Gate of Death.

Last time when I fought Might Guy, I could only unleash Sword Twenty-One, but now I can unleash Sword Twenty-One simply by using Swift Release.

When combined with the Eight Gates Formation that opens the Gate of Death, it can unleash even more of the Thirty-Six Blades.

This proves that choosing Swift Release as the first bloodline limit was quite the right decision.

In the face of a Kage-level powerhouse, bloodline limits are really not that great. Unless it's a Sage bloodline like the Wood Release Sharingan, ordinary ninjutsu bloodlines are really quite ordinary, only one level stronger than the Five Elements ninjutsu.

The support-type bloodline limit of Swift Escape can perfectly complement one's own combat methods, achieving a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts.

Upon receiving a definite response, Uchiha Hikaru was shocked, but also felt disappointed and resentful.

This shameless villain is getting stronger and stronger, and my hope of defeating him is becoming increasingly slim. Now, even catching up with him is very difficult.

This feeling and situation made her, with her proud nature, very unhappy.

Kushina Uzumaki shared the same thought: this villain was getting stronger and stronger, and even if she developed the Uzumaki bloodline to its limit and mastered all the sealing techniques, she definitely wouldn't be able to defeat him.

Am I really going to be bullied by this big bad guy for the rest of my life?

Leaving aside the people exchanging words on this side, Luo Sha on the other side was troubled, his expression growing increasingly grim.

Yekura's performance in the last surprise attack was too outstanding. She killed Shimura Danzo with a single blow, and that blow also gave him a great sense of terror.

If he were to actually face that move, he would definitely not be able to withstand it. Ye Cang has actually grown to this level.

His achievement of killing Shimura Danzo earned him extremely high prestige and reputation within the ninja army. It should be noted that Shimura Danzo was not only the supreme commander of the Konoha front, but he had also previously ordered the capture of many of their ninjas, who were then used for experiments, which was extremely cruel.

The Sand Village ninjas all harbored extreme hatred for Shimura Danzo, wishing they could eat his flesh and drink his blood.

Pakura killed Shimura Danzo, and all the ninjas who lost their comrades and loved ones were grateful to her. Now, Pakura's reputation has surpassed that of her own disciple, the Kazekage.

If things continue like this, I will be unable to compete with him. Even if I am the disciple of the third generation, I cannot directly become the fourth generation. I still need to go through the village's election.

"Ye Cang, are you really going to compete with me?"

Muttering to himself in a chilling tone, Luo Sha felt a surge of murderous intent.

No one can stop him from becoming the Fourth Kazekage; anyone who dares to stand in his way will die!

"I hope you die on the battlefield, at least then you'll earn the title of hero, otherwise..."
