Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 259 Six Paths Yang Seal

"Such beautiful eyes!"

Inside the sealed space, Tamura Hao looked at Kaguya's blue eyes with great delight.

Unlike the Otsutsuki Relics, which were merely from a branch family, these relics had previously devoured a direct descendant of the Otsutsuki main family and also consumed the corpses of branch family members, resulting in a much higher level of Kaguya's bloodline.

After absorbing those purple Tenseigan, Kaguya's Byakugan not only successfully evolved into Tenseigan, but also became an even more advanced blue Tenseigan.

Having absorbed so much Byakugan and chakra from the giant Tenseigan of the Otsutsuki clan on the moon, Kaguya's Tenseigan, like that of Toneri Otsutsuki in the future, still emitted a faint golden light in its central area, the same golden color as the giant Tenseigan.

That was the power of Hamura Otsutsuki's Tenseigan, which also meant that these Tenseigan could evolve into a golden Tenseigan.

"The Rinnegan has different tomoe, which can be considered a level classification. The blank Rinnegan is the basic one. After Hagoromo became the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, he could temporarily upgrade his Rinnegan to six tomoe with the help of the Ten-Tails' eye power, which is second only to his mother's nine-tomoe Rinnegan."

The Tenseigan is largely similar. The previous purple Tenseigan was just the basics, equivalent to the initial Rinnegan. The current blue one is equivalent to the three-tomoe Rinnegan. Hamura's golden Tenseigan is comparable to Hagoromo's six-tomoe Rinnegan. It's unknown whether it can go any further.

The Black Absolute Tenseigan system is still promising. Although it doesn't have much compatibility with the Ten-Tails God Tree, it's not inferior to the Rinnegan system in other aspects.

"According to the fragments of memory left by my mother, that Otsutsuki Isshiki possessed a special evolved form of the Byakugan, with effects comparable to the Rinnegan."

I thought of Otsutsuki Isshiki, a figure even my mother feared.

This is a difference in bloodline level. In the Otsutsuki bloodline, the mother is actually of a lower level. If it weren't for the sneak attack, she wouldn't have been able to hurt Otsutsuki Isshiki at all, let alone obtain a part of his body to allow the Ten-Tails to evolve into the God Tree and bear fruit.

"The power of chakra is indeed miraculous, and only the fusion of bloodline power and chakra can create the most perfect power. Neither can be lacking."

With the help of Kaguya, Tamura Hao gained a deeper understanding of the mysteries of chakra and the Otsutsuki bloodline. This mature bloodline power is indeed incomparable to any esoteric kekkei jutsu.

"Their starting point was very high, but they lacked an understanding of the essence of power. Just like how my mother, despite gaining great power through the fruit of the Divine Tree, was still defeated by Hagoromo and Hamura."

If you can continue down this path, you will definitely surpass Hagoromo and Hamura, and even your mother, and perhaps even surpass Isshiki Otsutsuki and the Otsutsuki clan.

Hei Jue had great confidence in his younger brother, whose talent and comprehension were unparalleled in the past thousand years, far surpassing even Hagoromo, Hamura, and Indra in their time.

The achievements of those three were mostly due to the bloodline passed down from their mother, while this younger brother relied on his own comprehension and cultivation, with external assistance being only secondary.

Even without external help, one can cultivate to this level, at most it will be a little slower.

Once the younger brother cultivates to the level of Bloodline Limit, his combat power will undoubtedly surpass that of Hagoromo and Hamura.

"Their bloodline is both their strength and their weakness. The Otsutsuki bloodline made them who they are, but it also limited them. They will never be able to understand the true essence and mystery of the Otsutsuki bloodline unless they can surpass the source of the Otsutsuki bloodline, which is definitely impossible."

Tamura Hiroshi became increasingly certain of his own path, believing that the Otsutsuki bloodline could not reach its full potential.

The key point lies in the most mysterious imprint in chakra, which exists in ordinary chakra and naturally in the bloodline of the Otsutsuki descendants.

That mark was far stronger than those of Kaguya Otsutsuki and the Sage of Six Paths; they were on completely different levels.

With such a source hidden within the bloodline of all Otsutsuki, how could they possibly surpass it?

After all, the foundation belongs to someone else.

"I'm going to keep an eye on Madara Uchiha and Nagato Uzumaki. Be careful here."

Black Zetsu glanced at his mother one last time, gave his younger brother some final instructions, and then left the sealed space.

Previously, it was only to sense the existence of the Otsutsuki Relic, and later it was to assist in guiding the evolution of Mom's eyes. Now that Mom's eyes have completed their evolution, there is naturally no need to keep them any longer.

The plan to save their mother is more important. They absolutely cannot afford to lose either Madara Uchiha or Nagato Uzumaki, especially Nagato's side.

Those eyes are almost mature and stable. After that, the younger brother can come and use the power of the little ten-tailed fox and their mother to extract them, and find their mother's origin space as soon as possible.

Once the mother's Origin Sphere space is integrated, the younger brother's sealing space will be even more perfect. At that time, even if Hamura and Hagoromo appear to observe, they will not be able to discover the little Ten-Tails and their mother hidden inside.

"Rinnegan with tomoe!"

Tamura Hao thought of the future Rinnegan with tomoe, such as Uchiha Sasuke's six-tomoe Rinnegan, and Otsutsuki Urashiki also showed the six-tomoe Rinnegan.

That can be considered an evolutionary system of the Rinnegan. However, he felt that the nine-tomoe Rinnegan was probably not the limit, because the Rinnegan has a total of six thin lines, and the nine tomoe only occupy three lines. Theoretically, the other lines could also be attached to tomoe.

The title of the Sage of Six Paths is also related to the six fine lines of the Rinnegan.

This is also reflected in the Yang Seal series. Uzumaki Tamayo and others could only deduce up to the Nine Yang Seal because of the limitation of their chakra control. However, Tamura Hao's pure chakra could create the Twelve Yang Seals, and it felt like that was not the limit.

"Could it be that it can go up to six times? What would it be called then? Eighteen Yang Seals? Or Six Paths Yang Seals?"

As his consciousness returned to his body, Tamura Hiroshi pressed his chest, pondering the limits of this structure.

According to Black Zetsu, the previous Nine Yang Seal structure was actually very similar to the tomoe structure of the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan. He then improved the Nine Yang Seal according to the tomoe structure of the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan provided by Black Zetsu, and successfully created a circle of three tomoe, upgrading the Nine Yang Seal to the Twelve Yang Seal.

It was an accidental achievement. Initially, he referenced the image of the Rinnegan to suggest improving the Yang Seal and increasing its number, and it actually worked! It also showed great potential.

After thinking for a moment, he got up and walked out of the room. He saw four girls cultivating outside, and Xia Rixing was among them.

"snort!"

Seeing that hateful face, Xia Rixing snorted and turned to face the other side, no longer wanting to look at it and ruin her mood.

But Tamura Hao wouldn't tolerate it.

"Today is a perfect day for an outing. I've heard that the scenery in Hoshigakure is beautiful and perfect for killing people. I might as well go there to relax."

Looking up at the azure sky, Tamura Hao stretched and indicated that he was going to go kill some people to relax.

"Master, I was wrong!"

The girl immediately changed her expression, and in a flash ran to someone's side with a well-behaved look on her face, but in her heart she was cursing this big jerk to death.

That's inhuman! All they do is threaten me with the village.

"What did you do wrong?"

Tamura Hiroshi glanced at him sideways, thinking, "Trying to mess with me? No way."

"This servant shouldn't have given my master such a hard time; it was my fault."

The girl had no choice but to admit her mistake; this big jerk was too petty.

"Since you've made a mistake, you must be punished. Come on, let me show you your talent one more time."

With a gentle expression, Tamura Hao cupped the girl's face and, ignoring her struggles, gave her a headbutt on her fair forehead.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, a red mark appeared on the girl's forehead, followed by a bump. Her eyes welled up with tears from the pain, her mind was buzzing, and she was filled with endless questions.

who am I?

Where am i?

Who's hitting me?

"This looks much better."

Looking at the large bulge, Tamura Hao was very satisfied.

It would be such a shame not to give such a beautiful, fair forehead a perm.

This action drew disdainful looks from Uchiha Hikaru and Uzumaki Kushina; this scoundrel is getting more and more tasteless.

Whirlpool Vanilla skillfully took out ointment from her medical kit and applied it to Xia Rixing, who had regained her senses. She also thoughtfully used her palm magic to help heal the large, protruding bump. Judging from her practiced movements, this was clearly not the first time she had done this.

"Everyone, cultivate diligently!"

After giving a word of advice, Tamura Hao left with light steps, leaving the girl glaring at him with a resentful look.

While leaving, Tamura Hao followed the Thunder God clone to guide the Cloud Ninja in their training. At the same time, he secretly fused with the chakra of the Ten-Tails to create a shadow clone, used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave, and after several transfers, finally used the Transformation Technique to transform into the appearance of a Root ninja and enter the Konoha camp.

He infiltrated openly and honestly, knowing all the codes and gestures. Besides, he, Tamura Hitomi, was a legitimate Root member and Danzo's most outstanding subordinate. Who dared to stop him!

The Senju Ninja Army has arrived at this camp and set up camp. The camp has not only been rebuilt, but it is also bustling with people. Some of the training grounds that have been opened up around the camp have also been occupied, either for rigorous self-training or for training tactics against the fighting methods of the Four Villages Alliance.

After wandering around for a while, Tamura Hao quickly found the location of Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kyuuhou. The young couple occupied a training ground to cultivate, both of them transforming into small golden figures and creating numerous shadow clones to cultivate nature transformation. It looked like the ground was densely packed with people.

Uzumaki Kyuuhou is training in water and earth attribute nature transformations, while Namikaze Minato is training in fire and lightning attribute nature transformations. Even the one who seems to be the original form is using the Rasengan to fuse the three nature transformations.

"Bloodline fusion? Or a three-attribute bloodline elimination!"

Tamura was quite surprised to see what Minato Namikaze was doing; it looked like he was fusing a bloodline limit.

Minato Namikaze's primary attribute used to be wind, and he had already reached the Kage level during the Peninsula War. He went even further in the last war.

He now focuses on the nature transformations of lightning and fire attributes, with a preference for sharp attacks. If this were to be fused into a bloodline limit change, it would undoubtedly be a power similar to the Raikage's Transcendental Release, or even stronger.

Because Raikage's Transcendent Release is a fusion of the three attributes of lightning, fire, and earth, while Minato Namikaze possesses five attributes: yin, yang, wind, fire, and lightning. Among them, wind, fire, and lightning are all powerful offensive attributes, so the resulting Kekkei Tota would inevitably have extremely strong offensive power.

"It should be able to fuse successfully!"

Looking at Minato Namikaze who was merging, Tamura Hao felt that this little sun should be able to merge successfully.

When it comes to talent in the Naruto world, Minato Namikaze is definitely among the top.

He learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, developed the Rasengan with unlimited potential, mastered Sage Mode, and quickly fused with the Nine-Tails, unlocking Kurama Mode.

This speed of improvement is even faster than Naruto Uzumaki, who has all sorts of cheat codes; it's more like the protagonist's speed.

If he hadn't lacked the Otsutsuki bloodline and hadn't had a relatively large amount of chakra, he definitely wouldn't have died during the Nine-Tails' rampage.

Now that Minato Namikaze is about to fuse with the Kekkei Tota, Tamura Hao thinks the chances of success are very high, not to mention that Minato is much stronger now than he was in the original work.

"Did Danzo Shimura also believe that Minato could successfully merge with Minato?"

Just then, a voice rang out, and Tamura Hiroshi turned his head to see that it was Jiraiya.

Tamura Hao hadn't deliberately concealed his presence, so it wasn't surprising that he was discovered. In fact, he had even been glanced at by Namikaze Minato when he arrived, so he had obviously been spotted long ago.

"Minato Namikaze is the strongest genius of our generation. Even Danzo praised his talent. Unfortunately, he was brainwashed by Jiraiya and the Third Hokage, which made him too conservative and unable to lead the village to its peak and usher in a new era. Konoha's future still depends on Danzo."

Tamura spoke in a cold, emotionless tone, though his words conveyed a sense of disdain.

"What's wrong with being conservative?"

Jiraiya disagreed with this view. In his opinion, Danzo Shimura was too radical. If he were allowed to act recklessly, the entire ninja world would be thrown into chaos.

"Now that we're in the Second Shinobi World War, Jiraiya-sama, guess when the Third Shinobi World War will break out?"

Guess when the Fourth Shinobi World War was? Then the Fifth, the Sixth, the Seventh, and so on, endlessly.

How many of our compatriots die each time? How many families are torn apart? Parents lose their sons, children lose their parents, wives lose their husbands, husbands lose their wives—the pain is unbearable…

Oh, I almost forgot, Jiraiya-sama has been an orphan since childhood and is still single. He doesn't understand this aspect very well, so he definitely won't care.

"Moreover, you are so powerful that you are unlikely to die on the battlefield and can continue indefinitely, unlike us low-ranking ninjas who will only be recorded as numbers after we die."

After saying that, Tamura Hao turned and left, worried that he would be exposed if he didn't leave.

Although he had altered his chakra by using the chakra of the Ten-Tails, it's better to be safe than sorry, and it's always better to be cautious.

"Hey, who are you calling a single dog?"

Jiraiya retorted angrily, "What's it to you if I'm single?"

However, he did not pursue them. Although the other party's tone was cold and ruthless, typical of the Root, his words were realistic and truthful.

Although he had high hopes for Minato, he also understood that the disciple's inability to end the endless cycle of the Ninja World War was not only due to insufficient strength, but also to a problem with his ideology.

Simply protecting the village won't prevent the outbreak of the Ninja World War.

"Great Sage, could the chosen one you're talking about be Minato?"

He sighed, no longer certain about the great sage's prophecy.

"Teacher, what did he just say that made you so angry?"

Minato Namikaze walked over. He had noticed the figure earlier and recognized the Root ninja's attire, but he didn't sense any strong malice from him, so he ignored him.

It is not advisable for internal conflicts to occur now, so even if the other party is sent by Shimura Danzo to monitor them, he will not pay attention to them as long as they do not go too far.

"It's nothing."

Jiraiya shook his head, not uttering the man's words, but his impression of Danzo Nashimura changed somewhat.

The other party is indeed very radical, but it seems that it is not simply for power. That old guy is also pursuing peace, but his methods are too radical. If he is not careful, it could lead to the destruction of the entire Konoha, or even the entire ninja world.

"Don't rush to fuse with the Bloodline Elimination. You can start with the Bloodline Limit first. The Bloodline Elimination is too difficult and more dangerous. Your attributes are not yet suitable for cultivating Dust Release, so it can only be used as a reference. You must not rush it."

You're still young, don't put too much pressure on yourself. This isn't your time yet. We can still hold on and protect the growth of you, the new generation.

His expression shifted, and he offered words of comfort with concern.

He could also tell that this disciple was trying to fuse the bloodline limit. He had previously taught Minato the secret technique of Dust Release. Although Minato did not have the earth attribute and could not fuse Dust Release, it could still serve as a reference. In the future, Minato could also use this to fuse his own bloodline limit.

He had great confidence in his disciple's talent and future, but that was only the future. Minato was still too young and lacked sufficient resources, so he couldn't rush into taking risks.

"But there is no bloodline limit that suits my fighting style right now."

Minato Namikaze knew he was being too hasty. Starting with bloodline limits would be safer, but there were no suitable bloodline limits for him among the current ninja techniques.

His five elements are wind, fire, and thunder. He has almost reached the limit in cultivating the cutting properties of the wind attribute, followed by the cutting properties of the thunder attribute, while the progress in cultivating the fire attribute is the lowest.

If you want to fuse bloodline limits, the first choice is the wind and lightning attributes. The fusion bloodline limit of these two attributes is the Swift Release of Sunagakure.

However, for someone who already possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique, the speed boost from Swift Escape is rather useless. It would be better to spend that time practicing Super Strength Technique, which would allow him to throw the Flying Thunder God Kunai faster and farther.

What he lacks now is ultimate single-target attack power, not the Rasengan type, but a sharp type of attack to break through the opponent's defenses and weapons.

In the previous battle, he had been constantly suppressed by Uchiha Hikaru. In addition to his better use of spatial techniques, the opponent also had a long sword that could even cut through space.

No matter what kind of Rasengan he condenses, it will be annihilated by the opponent in one strike.

In addition, the opponent's Susanoo has a very strong defense, and it will be difficult to break through unless he is given time to create the maximum Tailed Beast Ball.

There are many similar opponents. The Third Kazekage's iron sand defense is very strong, the Third Tsuchikage's Earth Release: Hardening Technique is also amazing, not to mention the Third Raikage's.

The people from Kumogakure also have amazing defenses; there's no way to fight them.

That's why he's so obsessed with bloodline fusion. If he could fuse a bloodline like Dust Release, the battle would be much easier.

"If you don't have one now, then go and create one. With your qualifications, you can definitely do it."

Jiraiya encouraged them, still full of confidence in his disciple.

It's just creating a bloodline limit that's never been seen before. If predecessors could create those bloodline limits, Minato certainly could too.

"Your wind attribute training is almost complete. You can consult Senior Sakumo for guidance on the lightning attribute."

Jiraiya himself felt he couldn't instruct his disciples on the nature transformation of lightning. Although he possessed six chakra natures, he lacked lightning, so he had to find someone else to help him with that.
