Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 266 Plucking Hair to Relieve Stress

Tsunade and the others used wide-range attacks to deal with Tamura Hao's super speed. Tsunade herself used a super-sized air cannon with each punch, while Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Chiri controlled Susanoo to swing their swords wildly.

Yekura pursued him with an oversized Rasengan, her body fused with someone's cells, granting her some of the power of Swift Release and significantly increasing her speed.

Most importantly, the Swift Release chakra, when applied to the eyes, can maximize cell activation, thereby enhancing dynamic vision and allowing one to barely see someone's figure and thus launch an attack.

Thousand Hands Rope Tree was manipulating a wooden puppet and a wooden dragon to attack, which was the limit of what he could unleash at this stage, and it was difficult to sustain.

Both consume an extremely terrifying amount of chakra, even though he could only unleash them by activating the chakra within the Yin Seal and the Nine Yang Seal.

Faced with these attacks, Tamura Hao was not just scratching the surface; whether it was Eight-Sword Flash or Crescent Moon Heavenly Slash, he achieved good results.

In this battle, he did not use the Muten Buddha Statue for Gundam group battles, mainly because the Muten Buddha Statue did not contain much of his own power; it was constructed by relying on the power of Susanoo, which was created by the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

He doesn't really like external forces; they're fine as an aid, but not as his main fighting method.

Moreover, such a large size is basically useless in future battles between strong individuals; Sasuke Uchiha's Susanoo was kicked to pieces by someone else.

Unless he can be like the Buddha's form in Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, which is larger than the entire Earth, then he can perform miracles.

Therefore, he regarded this battle as a test, a test of his own skills and swordsmanship.

Although both are single-handed swords, the ends of the handles are connected to the elbows with chains, just like when using the Big Meow and Little Meow swords, to enhance the cutting power.

This is a matter of lever principle. The faster the speed, the stronger the cutting force, and the greater the reaction force. In addition, the chain can make good use of the force.

The Twelve Yang Seals provide him with enough chakra to unleash his power. In addition, he can recover his own pure chakra, and the method simply enhances his own abilities, allowing him to sustain this for a long time.

Everyone noticed the person's extraordinary stamina, but they could only grit their teeth and persevere while secretly making preparations.

They don't just fight with strength, they fight with their brains too.

"Now!"

Tsunade and Nawaki seized the opportunity and unleashed their attacks simultaneously, while Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Chiri also attacked at the same time.

"Uchiha Flame Formation!"

Scorching flames erupted from the earth, quickly forming a square cage of fire, much like the Four Purple Flame Array and the Four Crimson Sun Array.

Furthermore, it is imbued with magical power, making it even stronger and hotter.

However, the real killing move came from Tsunade and Senju Nawaki, who simultaneously unleashed a ninjutsu.

"Sage Art: Earth Release: Super Heavy Rock Technique!"

That wasn't all. The siblings' chakra merged, forming a massive jutsu array using sealing techniques. This not only spread the Super-Heavy Rock Technique but also further amplified gravity.

The force of gravity, dozens of times greater than normal, was so strong that even with Tamura Hiroshi's physique, he was forced to stop moving. The main problem was that the blood in his body was suppressed and stopped flowing, gathering in his lower body, and his blood vessels were almost bursting.

His body was transformed into an immortal body through the magic of immortality; otherwise, he would have been crushed into a lump long ago.

That wasn't the end of it. Yekura, who had somehow appeared in the sky, was slammed down by the Rasengan under the influence of gravity. Because Tsunade had given her chakra boost before she arrived, the effect of gravity on her body could be weakened to some extent, so she was able to withstand it.

The massive Rasengan slammed into Tamura Hiroshi, pressing him deep into the ground.

And this was just the beginning. Uchiha Chiri and Uchiha Mikoto pressed down with the palms of their Susanoo, infusing their own chakra into the Rasengan to further enhance its power.

This is a killer move they've been practicing for a long time, and it's also a further development of the Rasengan.

The Rasengan has a strong carrying capacity and can incorporate chakra of almost any attribute, even bloodline limits.

At the same time, Yekura's Scorching Release is of the Wind and Fire attribute, and they are both proficient in Wind Release and Fire Release, so they can be perfectly integrated into the mix.

In addition, they also possessed the same source of immortal magic power and meteorite energy, which further enhanced their compatibility, enabling them to successfully fuse.

While infusing chakra to enhance the power of the Rasengan, Susanoo was also used to continue pressing downwards.

This was their meticulously prepared, deadly strike. If this attack still couldn't cripple that guy...

Everyone stared intently at the collapsed ground, awaiting the final outcome.

"Sword Thirty-Six - Crescent Moon Sky Strike!"

A clear shout rang out, and thirty-six crescent-shaped sword energies slashed out from the depths of the earth, not only shattering Yekura's Rasengan but also severing the arm of the Susanoo pressing down on it.

Then, the sword energy shot out, slicing the two enormous Susanoo into pieces. That sword energy was too fast and too sharp, and even space itself rippled wherever it passed. If it were any stronger, it might even be able to cut through space itself.

"I really like your gifts. Now, please accept my return gift!"

Emerging from the deep pit, Tamura Hao looked at the two women who wanted to restore Susanoo, his smile growing even gentler.

He was in a truly sorry state. Most of his armor was shattered, his head was bald, and he had lost his hair and eyebrows. Many of his wounds were healing rapidly, indicating that he had suffered a considerable loss in the previous attack.

At that moment, Nawaki's chakra was exhausted, and the sealing array that was maintaining it collapsed. The super gravity that was supporting Tamura Hiroshi was released, and Tsunade alone could not maintain this power.

"It's not over yet!"

Tsunade suddenly appeared above, wielding the massive First Generation Greatsword and slashing down wildly. All her power was concentrated on the sword, distorting the space in its path.

Faced with such a ferocious attack, Tamura Hiroshi did not want to take it head-on. He relied on his super speed to cut Tsunade in half at the waist and then severed her arms.

The super gravity just now was indeed amazing, but now there is no gravity to limit my speed.

After defeating Tsunade, Tamura Hiroshi flashed through the air, severing the limbs of Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Chiri before Susanoo could reassemble.

Next came Nawaki and Natsumi, who were still looking bewildered and hadn't reacted yet, and Tamura Hiroshi showed no mercy.

"Next comes my big gift to you!"

Holding the blood-dripping twin swords, Tamura Hao wore a look of pleasure, quite satisfied with the battle he had just fought; that was the kind of real combat he wanted.

With the group and the pile of severed limbs, Tamura Hao arrived at Garura's research area and began to reattach their arms and legs, but sealed their bodies with the Eight Thousand Spears mark. He also forcibly sealed Tsunade's Death Gate.

They took out the evil god altar that hadn't been used for a long time and placed Tsunade, who was the leader of the group, on it first.

"What do you think you're doing, you brat?"

Tsunade was shocked; this brat was clearly up to no good.

Isn't this time intubation?

"Right, we shouldn't start with Tsunade-neechan, we should start with Nawaki."

After glancing at the women present and then at Senju Nawaki, the only male prisoner, Tamura Hiroshi immediately put her on and undressed.

"Sister! Help! I don't want to be intubated!"

Rope Tree cried and regretted it; he didn't want to be intubated.

"This time it's not intubation!"

The noodles twitched involuntarily. Tamura Hao didn't want to insert a tube into a man; it would leave him with psychological trauma.

Without much talk, he performed the evil god ritual on Rope Tree despite its struggles.

The pain of the evil god ritual is quite intense. From the very beginning, Rope Tree was screaming incessantly, with snot and tears streaming down his face.

Tsunade watched with heartache and tried to stop them, but it was no use. Moreover, she herself was currently unable to move, as her chakra was suppressed by the seal.

Although that brat doesn't use seals to suppress their chakra during battle, he completely suppresses it afterward.

After an unknown amount of time, when Rope Tree felt on the verge of collapse, the ritual transformation was finally completed.

Before she could even catch her breath, she saw someone smiling as they came over with a large roll of tape. She wanted to ask what they were going to do, but she was too weak to speak and could only watch helplessly as the bastard covered her entire body with tape.

"Rope Tree, remember this day. This is the most important transformation in your life."

With a gentle smile, Tamura Hiroshi said something to Nawaki, then grabbed a piece of tape from his chest and ripped it off forcefully.

The fine hairs on that area were all ripped out, and Rope Tree's face instantly contorted.

Normally, the pain of plucking hair wouldn't have been a big deal for him, given his ninja training, but after undergoing the evil god's ritual, his sense of touch and pain was heightened to the extreme.

Plucking the hair at this time is an experience that is indescribably intense.

And so, in that incredibly stress-relieving tearing, Rope Tree was torn to shreds by the excruciating pain, fainting from the agony multiple times, only to be jolted back to reality by the pain each time, until finally, he felt as if he had been completely ruined.

"Forget about those."

After tearing off all the tape, Tamura looked at the boy's last remaining pair of shorts, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to do it.

"Ugh!"

Karura, who had arrived sometime earlier and had been watching from the sidelines, sighed and stepped forward to take Nawaki away.

Hopefully, this child will learn his lesson!

"Sizzle!"

"Tsunade-neechan, it's your turn next!"

Tearing off the tape, Tamura Hiroshi looked at Tsunade with a gentle smile.

Even with Tsunade's strong will, she couldn't help but tremble when she was being stared at.

"Good brother, I was wrong, please forgive me this once!"

Tsunade readily gave in and put on a pitiful expression.

Although I haven't tried it myself yet, just looking at my brother's miserable state, I can understand how exhilarating it must be.

Although it's not as humiliating as intubation, it's still very uncomfortable.

"It's good that you know you made a mistake; just don't repeat it!"

While maintaining his signature gentle smile, Tamura Hao lifted Tsunade onto the altar.

Forgiving you is something Grandma Mito has to do. What I need to do now is take you to see Grandma Mito.

Ignoring his older sister's resistance, Tamura Hao decisively began the evil god ritual, deeply modifying Tsunade's body.

Then came the plucking stage. This time, Tamura had no scruples and removed the last layer of cloth, covering the entire body with tape, and even shaving its head bald at the end.

"Tsunade-neechan, I'm going to start!"

He rubbed his hands together, feeling excited, and then grabbed one end of the tape and ripped it off forcefully, relieving his stress to the extreme.

Just like Nawaki before her, Tsunade's delicate face contorted instantly, her pearly teeth almost grinding to powder.

The girls, including Yecang, who were lying on the ground nearby, were trembling with fear and couldn't help but feel remorse.

That little rascal is a real psychopath!

Karura, having done some preliminary work on the rope tree, returned and couldn't help but facepalm at the scene inside.

Well, a new round of hatred is about to begin, and it'll never end.

After working so hard for most of the day, Tamura Hao finally finished his stress-relieving game with satisfaction, and even ate three extra bowls of rice when he got home that night.

"Hao, this can't go on like this."

Karura served her another bowl of rice and offered a word of advice.

If this cycle of revenge continues, when will it ever end?

"If I don't do this, my thoughts won't be clear, and it will affect my cultivation."

Tamura Hao didn't think much of it; everything was about strength. If I failed, you could do whatever you wanted; if you failed, don't complain.

"I think this is great; everyone is very energetic."

Whirlpool Jade Leaf walked in, tossing a bunch of keys with her fingers, looking relaxed and cheerful, clearly in a good mood.

Behind him followed Tutai, who was holding a baby and acting as a stay-at-home dad. You could tell from his expression that he was definitely going to be a doting father to his daughter in the future.

"What's good about it?"

Galuro was speechless. "Are you blind?"

Whirlpool Jade Leaf skillfully ladled two bowls of rice from the rice cooker in the kitchen and came over, one for herself and one for her husband.

Even while eating, Tu Tai couldn't bear to put down the child in his arms.

The little guy seemed very energetic, his big, blinking eyes looking at Tamura Hiroshi with great curiosity about this unfamiliar adult.

"Galuro's skills are getting better and better."

Whirlpool Jade Leaf ate with great pleasure, constantly praising Karura's culinary skills.

Their family often comes here to eat, mainly because Jialuo's food is so delicious. It's perfect in terms of color, aroma, and taste, even better than the top chefs at the food and entertainment center.

That makes sense, after all, Garuda is now a Kage-level powerhouse, and he has better control over things like fire control and swordsmanship.

However, the food and entertainment center can't find a super-powerful expert to be their head chef; that's a difference in strength.

"Eat more if you like it."

Tamura Hiroshi laughed and said that he really liked the lively atmosphere, probably because he had been too lonely in the past and lacked the company of his family.

"Are these prepared for Tsunade and the others?"

After eating and drinking her fill, Yu Ye looked at the thermos in the kitchen, which contained a large pot of meat porridge.

"Yes, I was just about to deliver it to them."

Nodding, Karura, who had been in charge of cooking for everyone, also enjoyed the process.

"I'll go see them too."

After glancing at her husband, Uzumaki Tamayori picked up the thermos and went out with Karura. Karura took the little guy and played with him as they walked, leaving only Tamura Hiroshi and Tsuchida at home.

The two carried their tea to the sofa in the living room and sat down. After taking a sip, Tsuchida asked, "Did you find anything?"

A while ago, this kid applied to use the portal to the spirit world, and it lasted for a long time. When he came back, he was in a terrible state. Today, the portal was finally restored, so he came to check on him immediately.

"I vaguely sense that there are several other dimensions around our world, all of which are relatively independent and do not have a fixed connection point with our world."

Tamura Hao mentioned a previous discovery, which was made by Black Zetsu.

While the initial sphere space is difficult to sense, the five accompanying alternate dimensions are relatively easier to sense.

If they weren't worried about being targeted by the Sage of Six Paths, they could have simply opened a portal and gone inside.

I was trying to find the alternate dimension that Otsutsuki Isshiki opened up, but unfortunately I couldn't find it.

The Pure Land of the Underworld, where the Sage of Six Paths resides, is also very mysterious and difficult to sense.

"Several, exactly how many?"

Tu Tai put down his teacup, his brows furrowing into a deep frown.

The Spirit Realm is a different dimension, containing three super-powerful beings like great immortals. If we hadn't used a scheme, it would have been impossible to defeat them.

Even when he later killed the White Snake Sage, it was only by using the chakra cannon that had been laid in ambush that he was only severely injured.

If there were such super-strong individuals in those alternate dimensions, it would be too dangerous.

"I clearly perceived five, but I'm not sure about the ones I couldn't perceive."

Tamura Hiroshi really wanted to find the alternate dimension of Otsutsuki Isshiki and then break into it.

At this stage, Otsutsuki Isshiki is at his weakest. Without a perfect vessel, he cannot unleash much power with Jigen alone.

If we can find the Ten-Tails in advance and prevent Isshiki Otsutsuki from absorbing its chakra, its power will be more limited. With my current strength and the help of the Raikage and others, I have a high chance of killing it.

Once they kill Isshiki Otsutsuki, his accumulated resources and the foundation of his Shell organization will be theirs, especially the complete Ten-Tails.

Unfortunately, Otsutsuki Isshiki was too well hidden. Even Otsutsuki Kaguya couldn't find him back then, and the Sage of Six Paths probably hasn't found him either, and might not even know of Otsutsuki Isshiki's existence.

Clearly, the other side's alternate dimension is completely independent, just like the Origin Sphere Dimension. Without coordinates or corresponding chakra, it would be extremely difficult to find.

The only option now is to lure the Sage of Six Paths into confronting him and searching for him.

"What a hassle!"

Tu Tai took a deep breath, realizing that there were likely super strong individuals in those alternate dimensions, and even if the Sage of Six Paths was not dead, he might be hiding there.

Not to mention the undiscovered alternate dimensions, which pose a threat to their Hidden Cloud Village.

The great cause of unifying the ninja world is becoming increasingly difficult, and it is unknown whether their generation can accomplish it.

"What about the battlefield? Are both sides ready?"

Tamura asked about the battlefield, saying that after such a long delay, the decisive battle should be coming soon.

"It's almost done. I'm not too sure about the situation in Konoha, but the Four Villages Alliance has improved a lot. The three Jinchuriki have all mastered the firing of Tailed Beast Balls and Tailed Beast Cannons, and the three Kage have all mastered Sage Mode to varying degrees. Their strength has increased significantly, and they are already preparing to launch a general offensive."

"Different degrees?"

Tamura raised an eyebrow. This word is quite meaningful.

"They further perfected the power of the Sage Art Seal. Although their bodies were deeply mutated, they did condense their own Sage Art Chakra."

Tutai couldn't help but admire the ruthlessness and decisiveness of those three shadows; even if it meant becoming monsters, they were determined to gain power.

"They are all shadows, and they all have considerable awareness."

Tamura Hao also sighed, while being curious about the changes in the others. He wondered what they had become after being transformed by the Immortal Art Curse Seal. He was really looking forward to it.

When are you going over there?

Tu Tai inquired, saying that the war was difficult to control and that he needed to send this young man over to devise a plan.

"I'll go after a few days of rest."

Touching his newly grown hair, Tamura Hao felt he needed to rest for a few days to allow his flowing long hair to grow back.

It concerns one's own reputation, so one absolutely cannot be careless.

"I will inform the third generation."

Tu Tai nodded. With this kid going there, things would be much more stable, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
