Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 265 An eye for an eye

"Look what you've done to that girl!"

Seeing Dark Spring feasting on his food, his mouth dripping with oil, even Gangshou couldn't bear to watch.

This is all the fault of that brat!

No sooner had he finished speaking than Dark Spring's form underwent a transformation. Crimson chakra surged forth, transforming into a ferocious monster form, very similar to the modified Three-Tails, but with a single eye radiating a blood-red light.

Furthermore, it began to actively absorb the surrounding natural energy, and its own chakra was transformed into Sage Chakra. As a result, its body was undergoing profound transformation, evolving into a Sage Body.

This brutal and rapid transformation was extremely painful, but Dark Spring still couldn't bear to part with the remaining food, so it opened its blood-red maw and swallowed the table whole.

This sudden change startled the girls, but they quickly used their internal magical powers to sense that the Dark Spring was frantically absorbing natural energy, and they could also vaguely feel the changes in their bodies.

"Bind her up."

Tsunade immediately spoke, and the Uchiha Mikoto and the other women did not dare to delay. They joined forces to use sealing techniques to form chains of runes that bound the Dark Spring.

Tsunade stepped forward for a careful examination and quickly discovered the changes in Dark Spring's body, which was clearly transforming into that brat's physique.

During her previous treatment, she discovered that the brat's constitution was different; he could absorb natural energy on his own, essentially maintaining a permanent immortal mode, or even a deeper level, similar to the state of the Slug Immortal.

She never expected that her constitution could be transformed, or rather, eroded, in such a way, which gave her a bold idea.

"Koizumi's body is transforming into a physique like his, which is equivalent to a permanent immortal mode, or even a deeper level. It is also relatively safe, not as domineering as my grandfather's cells, so there should be no danger to his life."

After explaining, Tsunade looked at the boy still on the operating table with shining eyes.

Upon hearing this, the girls all looked over with shining eyes.

They would never hesitate to pursue strength, and if it could improve their strength, they wouldn't mind eating the flesh and blood of those villains.

Stared at by those greedy eyes, even someone as strong-willed as Tamura Hiroshi couldn't help but shudder.

Are these crazy women going to eat me whole?

"Don't be afraid, little brother, your big sister will be very gentle."

Picking up a sharp scalpel, Tsunade walked forward with a smile.

Uchiha Mikoto and the other girls also picked up different types of kitchen knives and stepped forward. The most outrageous one was that Natsumi Hoshi actually picked up a cleaver.

Tamura tried to resist, but unfortunately the neural network was still broken and he couldn't move at all.

Half an hour later, Tamura Hiroshi, who had lost ten pounds, was once again lost in his daydreams about how to carry rice.

At this moment, Karura finally arrived. Looking at her boyfriend, who had lost a lot of weight, on the operating table, she felt very sorry for him.

"You've gone too far."

Galuro glared at the group, clearly displeased.

Hao may have bullied you before, but he never harmed your bodies.

"Karura!"

Tamura Hiroshi even showed a wronged little expression; heaven knows how he spent this time.

"His flesh and blood have the ability to help people evolve their bodies, to evolve into a physique like his. Would you like some?"

Tsunade directly recommended that Lagarura join her team.

"Give me one."

After hesitating for a moment, Karura finally whispered that she also longed to improve her strength.

"Karura!"

Tamura Hiroshi looked incredulous. Had his sister Karura changed too?

"You guys!"

Yu Ye, who had followed with the child in her arms, shook her head speechlessly at the scene, but made no attempt to stop it.

Although Xiao Hao had bullied them badly in the past, it also inspired their determination to cultivate. They all trained frantically and their strength improved rapidly, which is a good thing.

Especially his niece Tsunade, who wasn't just a gambler, but an addict.

The eldest daughter of the prestigious Senju clan, a Kage-level ninja, and the most lucrative medical ninja, is almost thirty years old yet has no savings, is heavily in debt, and even frequently steals her younger brother's New Year's money to gamble.

Can you believe this?

No wonder this girl is still single. No man would dare to marry her, no matter how much wealth she has, it would all be squandered.

Now things are much better. I've been focusing on my training and haven't gambled in a long time, at least not for money.

If she could, she would be willing to let Xiao Hao bully her for the rest of her life.

In the end, Tamura Hiroshi was taken back to the villa by Karura to recover from his injuries. As for why he was injured, Karura did not ask since Tamura Hiroshi did not say.

After eating the lovingly prepared meat porridge by Karura, Tamura Hiroshi's consciousness entered the sealed space.

At this moment, Black Zetsu was still guiding the power of Kaguya and the Ten-Tails to promote the fusion of the Origin Space and the Sealed Space, or rather, to integrate the seal of the Sealed Space into the Origin Space.

There's no way around it; the primordial space is simply too vast, and it's impossible to devour it using the sealed space.

Moreover, the sealed space is not an open space; it is merely a piece of the real space that has been cut off and sealed. Its foundation is still the real space, and it does not have the ability to expand.

Now, the sealing techniques are being transferred to the Origin Sphere Space, replacing the foundational space of the sealing space with the Origin Sphere Space.

This is a delicate task. Although Kaguya-hime has gained consciousness, she is far less adept at using her power than Black Zetsu, who inherited some of Kaguya Otsutsuki's memories and power.

In particular, Black Zetsu also has the memory inheritance of the Otsutsuki's use of the Ame no Minaka eye technique, which can be used for this purpose.

"What's the deal with those other spaces, sister?"

Tamura Hiroshi inquired about Kaguya Otsutsuki's five alternate dimensions, expressing curiosity about their attributes.

"That was the battlefield that Mother opened up to deal with those people. In those different dimensions, Mother could unleash even greater power and also divide her opponents to defeat them one by one."

Even if they also have the ability to teleport, they can't find it in a short time without coordinates, and that time is enough for Mom to defeat them.

Furthermore, Mother also shaped Hagoromo and Hamura; with their assistance, the chances of success would be much greater. Unfortunately, they betrayed Mother, and the arrival of the Otsutsuki was only a matter of time.

Speaking of Black Zetsu fills me with hatred. As his mother's sons, those two betrayed her for outsiders, showing no understanding of her good intentions.

Those two were unaware of the terror of the Otsutsuki clan. Did they really think that Mom was the pinnacle of the Otsutsuki clan?

Once those powerful Otsutsuki warriors descend and slaughter all life on the planet, those two will regret it.

"Perhaps we can renovate this space."

Tamura Hao surveyed the enormous primordial space. Although the space was inherently very high, it was far too monotonous.

"How do you want to change it?"

Black Zetsu became interested; he greatly admired his younger brother's talent and imagination.

"Chakra has seven basic attributes: Yin, Yang, Wind, Fire, Lightning, Water, and Earth. We can incorporate these seven attributes."

Yin and Yang shaped the sun and moon, while wind, fire, thunder, water, and earth blended into this space.

We happen to have the Kaleidoscope Eye Technique, which controls the five elements of wind, fire, thunder, water, and earth. We can use it as a foundation and rely on sealing techniques to integrate into this space…”

Tamura Hiroshi shared his thoughts, or rather, the imaginative ideas from those novels in his past life.

This kind of idea has been thoroughly explored in fantasy and prehistoric novels from the past. The earliest example is the Tomb of the Gods by the Red-Haired Old Monster, where the inner world route is quite complete.

There are also many applications of the Primordial Era style, and even various rare and precious materials, especially those innate spiritual roots, are transplanted into it.

There are also those who use things like the Chaos Pearl and the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl to create the heavens and prove their Dao; they all follow this path.

Although we don't have those conditions, we can still draw inspiration from them.

Back on the battlefield in the Land of Hot Water, he acquired four types of eye techniques that control the five major attributes, including Kagutsuchi. Later, through experiments with those Uchiha prisoners, he activated the Mangekyou Sharingan and acquired a water-style eye technique, thus completing his collection of eye techniques that control the five major attributes.

After careful consideration, Black Zetsu gave his advice: "We should use the Banana Fan made by Hagoromo as the core of energy circulation. It would be best to find a Mangekyou Sharingan with the Yata Mirror, which also has the property of the five major attributes."

The Uchiha clan had used a Mangekyou Sharingan in the past, but unfortunately that was a long time ago.

The Yin and Yang aspects cannot be resolved using the Mangekyou Sharingan's eye techniques; you need to condense the power of Yin and Yang. However, the Moon can be temporarily represented by the Sake-Kari Tachi, while the Sun can only be addressed with Scorch Release at this stage.

"The Yata Mirror!"

Tamura Hao immediately thought of the future Uchiha Itachi, whose Susanoo had evolved into the Yata Mirror.

"You first transfer a portion of the World Immortal Tree in, and I will guide you through the initial modifications."

Black Zetsu also felt that his mother's primordial space was too monotonous. His mother didn't stay here often before, but instead built a palace in the ice and snow space to live in.

Unfortunately, that alternate dimension has most likely been found by Hagoromo and Hamura. Going there now would be like walking into a trap. Otherwise, obtaining the many things their mother left behind there would definitely help their younger brother grow up faster.

However, the primordial space can be modified; at the very least, a forest can be created here using the divine tree, adding more vitality.

As for the sun, let's use "scorching escape" as a substitute for it.

"I'll have to wait a bit, my body is still paralyzed."

Tamura Hao was helpless. The damage from the previous spatial distortion was too great. Even with his physical strength, it would take him several days to recover.

"No rush, I need a little more time to integrate the sealing technique into the primordial space and make it perfectly blend with you."

"Once the seal is fully stabilized after the fusion, and with the transplantation of the World Tree, even if your mother and the little Ten-Tails leave your body again, it won't affect the seal."

Black Zetsu knew very well that his younger brother was simply using the power of the Ten-Tails to aid his training, just as Hagoromo had done back then. So in the end, he extracted the power of the Ten-Tails and used Yin-Yang Release to create the nine tailed beasts. The Ten-Tails' body was also transformed into the Gedo Mazo and sealed on the moon.

Looking back now, I realize that Yu Yi was probably already plotting against herself and her mother back then.

With Hagoromo and Hamura's strength back then, they were absolutely capable of destroying the Ten-Tails or the Gedo Mazo, but the two of them preserved it, which was obviously for ulterior motives. I didn't even realize it before.

"That's better."

Tamura Hao agreed with this point. The last time the little Ten-Tails and Kaguya broke away, he suffered a backlash, with his chakra and life force continuously draining away.

This is a major weakness that must be addressed.

"The five major attributes alone are not enough to form a complete world; the integration of many bloodlines is also needed. You need to work even harder."

Black Zetsu offered a reminder that shaping the primordial space into a complete world was no easy feat, especially since it wasn't even in planetary form and required even more.

"Take your time!"

Tamura Hao wasn't in a hurry. Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki hadn't been born yet, the Fourth Shinobi World War was still a long way off, and the arrival of Momoshiki Otsutsuki and others was even further away. Isshiki Otsutsuki was still lying low, waiting for the perfect vessel to appear. So, this was a relatively safe period, perfect for developing his strength in a sneaky way.

"There's also natural energy. Once things stabilize here, absorb more of it in the spirit world."

Finally, I mentioned natural energy. If the younger brother wants to further evolve the primordial space, natural energy is something he cannot avoid.

"The spirit world stores a lot of natural energy, enough to fill the primordial sphere."

Tamura Hao was prepared for this, because with the destruction of the three holy lands, there are not many species in the spirit world that can directly absorb natural energy for cultivation, let alone absorb and refine it as quickly as the creatures of the three holy lands.

Meanwhile, the giant vortex portal had been rapidly absorbing natural energy from the outside world, and the absorption speed was greatly accelerated with the help of the World Immortal Tree.

The concentration of natural energy in the spiritual world today is several times greater than it was back then, so extracting a little bit won't make a difference.

Fortunately, the natural energy in this world is not static. The energy mainly comes from the radiation of sunlight, which is absorbed and transformed by various organisms to form various forms of energy, and finally evolves into natural energy.

It is a sustainable form of energy; as long as it is controlled properly, it can be inexhaustible.

Over the next few days, Tamura Hao discussed and deduced the improvement of the Origin Sphere Space with Black Zetsu. After recovering his body a few days later, he immediately shaped a seed from the main body of the World Immortal Tree and planted it in the very center of the Origin Sphere Space, then watered it with the life water produced by the World Immortal Tree.

With the nourishment of the water of life, the seed quickly took root and sprouted, and in a short time it grew into a towering tree comparable to a mountain.

After the life-giving water had been used up, Tamura Hao did not continue to water and urge it to grow, but instead let the immortal tree grow naturally.

They even collected a lot of mud and river water from outside and brought it in.

Plants need not only energy to grow, but also material support, especially water, which is an important source of life activities.

"Looks much better!"

Looking at the growing World Immortal Tree, Tamura Hao found it much more pleasing to the eye.

"We also need seeds of other plants. Once the plants are cultivated, we can move some animals in. After that, I will bring in a batch of white zeppelins to manage them."

He knows a bit about the ecological cycle theory of nature. Plants alone are not enough to support the cycle of a world; animals also need to participate.

"I've already asked the village to send people to collect them."

Tamura Hiroshi nodded; he could naturally have thought of that.

"You guys keep going, I'm going to stretch my arms and legs."

After speaking to Black Zetsu and Kaguya, Tamura Hao's consciousness returned to his body. He attached the two dragons that were guarding him to his back, and quickly put on the Vajra Ruyi Dragon Armor.

He no longer needs the Immortal Technique Seal, mainly because his own body has been enhanced to a sufficient level. The strength of his skin alone is stronger than the snake scales of the Immortal Technique Seal, and also stronger than the indestructible body of the Ape Demon.

In fact, that indestructible body is not absolute; there is a limit. Even if Tamura Hao used immortal techniques to enhance the ape demon, there is still a limit.

The indestructible body he now obtains through the Inuzuka-ryu transformation technique is relatively useless to him; it would be better for him to transform into his armor form.

The armor form is the strongest, and most importantly, it looks cool!

In addition, he completely unleashed the magic seal, granting the two dragons some intelligence to serve as battle pets and as guardians when he was resting and recovering.

As for the ape demon, it had long been completely integrated into the twin dragons' bodies, its soul and brain completely digested and erased to prevent it from becoming some kind of melodramatic hidden danger.

Once the Vajra Ruyi Dragon Armor was fully donned, Tamura Hao flashed to the open space where he had sparred with the Raikage before, and used the Eight Thousand Spears Inscription to notify Tsunade and the others to come and fight to the death.

Tamura Hiroshi is not someone to be trifled with.

"You brat, we're not the same people we used to be. Are you sure you want to fight?"

Tsunade brought everyone over using the Flying Thunder God Technique, hands on her hips, looking very confident.

Mikoto Uchiha and the others also looked confident; they were sure they wouldn't lose this time.

They haven't been idle these past few days. They've used that flesh and blood to complete their physical evolution. Although they're still not as good as that brat, they're very close. They can maintain Sage Mode for a long time, and the activity of their body cells has been maximized.

"Rope Tree, you're getting involved too?"

After glancing at the people opposite him, Tamura Hao's gaze fell on Senju Nawaki.

It's clear that Senju Nawaki has also improved significantly, obviously using his own flesh and blood.

I never imagined that my flesh and blood would one day receive the same treatment as Hashirama's cells.

"This time I will definitely defeat you!"

"Senju Nawaki shouted angrily, he hadn't forgotten what that bastard had done to him."

He used to bully me a lot back in Konoha, and last time he even killed me. He also humiliated my sister like this. I won't let that bastard get away with it.

"Very well, today we will determine both victory and defeat, and life and death!"

His smile grew even gentler, and lightning crackled around Tamura Hao as he charged forward, wielding two swords.

Everyone was at their peak fighting spirit, with Tsunade even opening the Gate of Death again, unleashing her full power as she swung her grandfather's greatsword to meet the attack.

Having experienced the Eight Gates Formation once before, she further refined it. Combined with her current physical evolution and transformation, she can not only unleash her power for a longer period, but also reduce some of the side effects.

Although it will still feel very uncomfortable, it will only take some time to recover.

It's all worth it as long as we can defeat that brat.

In addition, she also gained a certain degree of speed by using that brat's flesh and blood cells, which greatly improved her speed. This was also a major reason why she dared to face that brat head-on.

This time, Tamura Hao showed no mercy, even using Zangetsu and Masamune, unlike the previous attack that involved dislocating tendons and bones.

Anyway, given their current physical vitality, severing limbs is nothing, especially since Tsunade's body is truly immortal. I reckon even if her head is cut off, she won't die for a while.

In this way, Tamura Hiroshi could confidently use his full power.

However, Tsunade and the others have indeed improved significantly, making it impossible for Tamura Hao to defeat them instantly.

Mikoto Uchiha and Chiri Uchiha simultaneously activated Susanoo, reaching near-complete form. They remained inside Susanoo to prevent being instantly killed by its extreme speed.

Shimura Izumi also merged with Dark Spring, transforming into a one-eyed monster whose bone spikes were powerful in both melee and ranged combat.

Yekura created a colossal Sage Art: Scorching Release: Rasengan, completely enveloping herself within it, combining offense and defense. With the assistance of the Peacock Mystic Art, she also gained the ability to fly, and at a considerable speed.

The last of the summer stars stood beside Senju Nawaki, protecting him with the Peacock Technique. Senju Nawaki clasped his hands together, focusing on casting Wood Release ninjutsu. He activated the Yin Seal between his eyebrows and the Nine Yang Seal on his chest, releasing a massive amount of Sage Chakra to assist him.
