Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 269 Golden Light Empress

"Huh? Why is it Kumogakure? Isn't that the Uchiha clan from the Warring States period?"

Tamura Hao looked around at the surrounding environment, especially the huge World Immortal Tree, and was a little confused.

This limited Tsukuyomi is led by Uchiha Hikaru, and it creates the illusion according to his deepest obsessions or desires.

According to his estimation, Uchiha Hikaru's deepest obsession should be the Warring States period, which is where his pain lies. But now this is Kumogakure, which is the era of the ninja village, and the World Tree is also here.

"I don't want to go back to that era! Come with me!"

Uchiha Hikaru glared at him, then grabbed someone by the collar and headed towards a hotel not far away.

"Where are you going?"

"Book a room!"

"what?"

A few minutes later, Tamura Hiroshi, who was pinned to the bed, was in a daze. He looked at the girl who had taken off her clothes and was now subduing him, but he still couldn't come to his senses.

"Wait, wait, what's wrong with you? Besides, you're not even an adult yet, you're still a child."

What's wrong with this girl?

Was she serious about wanting to be her own woman before?

"Now you know I'm not an adult? Why didn't you say so when you were tormenting me in the illusion? Besides, eighteen is the age of adulthood in your time; in our time, it was sixteen."

Uchiha Hikari sneered and then began her grand plan. Today, she would completely suppress this shameless villain above.

"Okay, you're right, but I'm still a child!"

Tamura Hao sighed helplessly. That was the situation during the Warring States period. The average age was less than thirty. Getting to adulthood, getting married, and having children early was essential for the better inheritance of the family line.

And so, Tamura Hao was suppressed, because this was an illusionary world dominated by Uchiha Hikaru, who was the true ruler here, and even Tamura Hao could not resist him.

……

How can I transform my eyes?

After a day of fierce fighting, Uchiha Hikaru leaned against the headboard, contentedly chewing on a lollipop, and asked how to break through.

"This illusionary world has many similarities to the real waterfall. Because you are the master, another version of you will evolve, possessing all your abilities, including the Mangekyou Sharingan. You need to devour it, relying on quantitative change to trigger qualitative change, making your eyes perfect and becoming the perfect Mangekyou Sharingan."

Tamura Hiroshi, who also had a lollipop in his mouth, gave an explanation, while his mind was still replaying the taste from just now.

This wasn't a punishment game he used to force; it was a game that Uchiha Hikaru initiated, and the experience was indescribable.

"So, I'm the protagonist of this world? Just like the protagonists in your novels?"

Uchiha Hikaru's eyes lit up as he had a bold idea.

"You could say that."

Tamura Hiroshi didn't notice the dangerous look in the girl's eyes and casually replied.

"Where is my other self?"

The girl directly asked about the location of her other self; she didn't want this illusionary world to end so soon and wanted to enjoy it to the fullest.

"Keep the change, please."

Just then, a figure burst through the window. It was a young girl with long golden hair, dressed in a pink tuxedo, looking very dashing. She held a long knife pointed directly at the adulterous couple on the bed, her killing intent chilling.

Upon seeing the blonde girl who looked exactly like Uchiha Hikaru, Tamura Hao almost crushed the lollipop in his mouth.

Isn't this Uchiha Hikaru from the ninja game?

Could this be due to the influence of one's own consciousness?

"You've come at the perfect time!"

Seeing another version of himself, Uchiha Hikaru was very happy and activated his Sharingan to communicate with it on a genjutsu level.

It's unclear what the two discussed, but the blond man tilted his head and pondered for a while before finally revealing a wicked smile.

"It's quite fun, but I also need to suppress that shameless villain."

The blade was immediately pointed at someone. She possessed all of Uchiha Hikaru's memories, including the fragments of memories of being humiliated by that shameless villain, and she was equally annoyed and resentful towards him.

Now that we have the opportunity, we should naturally suppress them properly.

"What do you want to do?"

Tamura Hao couldn't help but swallow hard. Was this girl planning to cut him up?

"I'll make you my beloved concubine!"

His wicked smile deepened, and the blond-haired man decisively pounced on him to suppress him, just like when he was punished by that shameless villain in his memory, only now the roles were reversed.

"impossible!"

Upon hearing the term "beloved concubine," Tamura Hiroshi was speechless and decisively refused.

Unfortunately, in this illusory world, Uchiha Hikaru is the absolute protagonist, and can even influence the setting of this illusory world with his own consciousness, such as erasing some of Tamura Hiro's power.

Especially when the two Uchiha Hikaru reach an agreement, the impact on the world will be even greater. Tamura Hiroshi will be suppressed to the point of being an ordinary person, unable to resist at all.

……

After another absurd day, the blond-haired Hikaru, with a lollipop in his mouth, discussed the next game with Uchiha Hikaru. Tamura Hiroshi was sandwiched between the two, and although he was surrounded by women on both sides, he was in a very bad mood and regretted it.

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done this limited-time Tsukuyomi. I never expected it would backfire so badly.

"My beloved consort, we are about to embark on a grand undertaking to unify the ninja world and become its empress. Shouldn't you offer us your advice and strategies?"

The blond man still wore that wicked smile, and even stuffed the lollipop in his mouth into someone else's mouth.

On the other side, Uchiha Hikaru also looked at Tamura Hao, thinking that this shameless villain was still better at scheming and plotting.

Although this is an illusionary world, according to the previous observations revealed by the other side, this world is not much different from the real world. All the characters have their own thoughts and are no different from real people.

This makes it difficult to unify this illusionary world; they need a capable helper.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After a moment of silence, Tamura Hiroshi finally chose to give in.

As Master Lu said, life is like that; if you can't resist it, then just enjoy it.

The three immediately began to discuss the great cause of unification. The first step was to force the Third Raikage, who had a stoic and lecherous personality, to step down and become the Raikage, with Uchiha Hikaru and the blond Hikaru becoming the two Raikages.

The combined power of the two main protagonists was unimaginable; the brooding Third Hokage was defeated in a single exchange by their Mangekyou Sharingan genjutsu.

That's right, some of the characters in this illusionary world have also changed, and are different from those in the real world.

For example, the Third Raikage was a supreme literary master who, like Hiruzen Sarutobi, liked to use crystal balls to spy and used this as material to write countless erotic masterpieces. He could be said to be a fusion of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya, and an enhanced version at that.

Yotsuki Ai didn't fare any better either, as he was responsible for the illustrations in those epic erotic works, and even often drew himself in them. He was an unparalleled literary master, second only to the Third Raikage.

After conquering Kumogakure, the two women unleashed their newly developed firearms and vigorously trained a firearms-wielding ninja army. After ten years of dedicated effort, they launched a war of unification at the end of the Third Shinobi World War, sweeping through the four great ninja villages and the four great nations with overwhelming force, and unifying the entire world.

The two women, like Valkyries, danced and roamed the battlefield in Gundams, even defeating Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, who were resurrected through Edo Tensei, by working together.

Ultimately, the two ended the era of the Ninja Village and ushered in the era of the Ninja Kingdom, establishing the Empire of Light. One was known as the Golden Light Empress, and the other as the Black Light Empress. Tamura Hao was humiliatingly crowned as the Haotian Empress, ruling the world as the mother of the nation, struggling to survive between the two.

……

"Have you guys had enough fun?"

In the ninety-year cycle of the Ninja Kingdom, Tamura Hao, who had been suppressed by the two women once again, said helplessly, "It's been a hundred years, haven't you had enough fun yet?"

"Not enough, even another hundred years wouldn't be enough!"

The blonde, who had evolved into a mature and elegant woman, gracefully sipped her iced cola from a stemmed glass.

On the other side, Uchiha Hikaru was still happily sucking on a lollipop, clearly not done playing yet, and didn't even want to leave.

Only in this illusionary world that I control can I deal with that shameless villain. Once I return to reality, I can't do anything about it, and I will definitely be humiliated and punished again.

She really wished this was the real world!

"But this world has its limits. It's already very unstable. If it continues like this, I can't say what the consequences will be if it collapses."

Tamura Hao said helplessly, "This is only a limited Tsukuyomi, not an infinite Tsukuyomi. It has a limit and cannot continue indefinitely like an infinite Tsukuyomi."

For example, the consciousness of those White Zetsu has been immersed in the Infinite Tsukuyomi and has been completely wiped out.

Limited Tsukuyomi is still far inferior to Infinite Tsukuyomi. Rather than letting this illusionary world collapse under its strain, he still wanted the two to merge as planned and release the illusion on their own.

"bring it on!"

After downing the iced cola in his goblet, the blond-haired Hikaru extended his palm, and Uchiha Hikaru also extended his palm. Their palms met, their fingers interlocked, and they fused their chakra and eye power. Their bodies also slowly merged, eventually transforming into a figure radiating a blood-red light.

Then the world before them slowly became illusory and eventually disappeared, and their consciousness returned to reality.

When he opened his eyes again, he found that it was already daylight, the sun was high in the sky. Uchiha Hikaru was still in the riding posture, the Mangekyou Sharingan pattern in his eyes spinning rapidly. When it reached its peak, it suddenly stopped.

The pattern remained unchanged, but a much larger amount of eye power and chakra emerged, doubling in size, and there was also a qualitative change.

"Is this the real world? It doesn't feel any different!"

Uchiha Hikaru looked up at the scenery outside the window and felt that it wasn't much different from the genjutsu world.

That's right, the one currently occupying the body is the blonde Hikari. She hasn't disappeared; instead, she has merged into Uchiha Hikari's spiritual world as an independent personality, and the two have become two sides of the same coin.

Having lived in the illusionary world for a full hundred years, they had long since become true sisters. Neither of them wanted the other to disappear, so they devised this method.

"Since it was originally an illusionary world built based on our understanding, there shouldn't be much difference."

Unfortunately, the cultivation within is based on our understanding, making it impossible to cultivate new power.

Uchiha Hikaru felt quite sorry, as a hundred years is a very long time, and they had devoted the vast majority of their time to training.

Unfortunately, they can only cultivate the powers they already know and cannot cultivate new powers, such as other chakra nature transformations. Some things they just haven't grasped, and cannot be mastered simply by relying on written records.

Fortunately, their understanding inside was shared, not only their own, but also that of the shameless villain.

In the illusionary world, they successfully fused with Swift Escape, further enhancing their strength. They also cultivated in other areas, so the gains were quite substantial.

"I wonder what the third generation is like in the real world. Could they be the kind of repressed, brooding big shots?"

Upon sensing the hard, scorching heat, both the blond-haired Hikaru and Uchiha Hikaru panicked. They pretended to be nonchalant and prepared to get up and leave, but were immediately overturned and suppressed, and a ferocious face came into view.

"Your Majesty, I have come to serve you so that you may ascend to the Pure Land soon."

Tamura Hao spoke almost word by word, his resentment, which had been building up for a century, finally erupting at this moment.

If I had a pair of Sharingan, I think I could have unlocked the Rinnegan all the way. Do you know how I got through those hundred years?

"Don't do anything reckless. We're still children, and you're still a child too."

Uchiha Hikaru panicked even more. In the past, the punishment was only in the illusion, but this time it seemed that they were going to really do it.

"You're saying that in your time, you were already an adult."

"Besides, the time you were sealed and the previous hundred years in the illusion add up to almost two hundred years old. What kind of children are you?"

Tamura Hao's face turned even more ferocious. He was determined to execute these two girls on the spot today, making them wish they were dead.

"don't want……"

The two women were terrified, but unfortunately, they had already been suppressed by the eight thousand spears imprinted on them. They were powerless to resist someone in their prime and could only suffer suppression, truly evolving from girls into women.

Tamura Hao was truly enraged this time. He not only used Lightning Release Chakra Mode but also Swift Release to amplify his speed, routing the two and causing them to flee in disarray, crying out for mercy and fainting several times.

The terrifying noise made Kushina Uzumaki curse under her breath, and she had no choice but to create a soundproof barrier to isolate the entire building so that outsiders wouldn't hear it.

The battle continued until late the next day, when Tamura Hiroshi finally emerged, looking refreshed and munching on a lollipop.

"Owner!"

Vanilla Whirlpool, who had already prepared lunch, looked at her owner as he came down, her eyes practically overflowing with resentment.

"Don't rush, you're still young, grow up in three more years."

Tamura Hao comforted her, saying that Uchiha Hikaru was really old, almost a hundred years old including the time she was sealed, plus the hundred years she spent in the genjutsu, making her a nearly two-hundred-year-old woman, so a breakthrough was nothing.

I've lived to be over thirty in my two lifetimes combined, so breaking through that barrier isn't a big deal.

But Xiangcao is still young, only fifteen years old this year. She'll be ready in about three more years.

Despite receiving the promise, Vanilla remained resentful.

Kushina Uzumaki, who was eating her meal nearby, was also full of resentment. She was supposed to be that despicable villain's first fiancée, so how did someone else beat her to it?

And you, you despicable villain, have such a weak will.

After lunch, Tamura Hao sent a shadow clone to the Konoha camp, transforming back into his Root ninja attire, attempting to infiltrate the camp. Then, things got awkward.

"Has the code been changed?"

Tamura Hao was a little confused as he looked at the several Konoha ninjas surrounding him.

When did they change the code? How come I didn't know?

"Everyone, step back. He is a Root ninja who went out on a long mission earlier and is unaware of our changed coded hand signals."

Just as Tamura Hao was pondering whether to retreat, a figure approached – it was Orochimaru.

"Hokage-sama!"

Several Konoha ninjas quickly bowed and then withdrew.

The Hokage himself has vouched for it, so there's definitely no problem.

Welcome back!

Licking his lips, Orochimaru enjoyed communicating with this person, as he always gained a lot from it.

He was also curious whether this person had gained anything after obtaining Minato Namikaze's eyes last time.

This person also has top-notch talent in cultivation.

"Lord Orochimaru has been having a great time lately!"

Tamura Hao remarked with emotion that, thanks to the butterfly effect he had created, this character was doing much better than in the original storyline.

However, this is exactly what he guided: rather than letting Madara Uchiha become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and a sacrifice for the resurrection of Kaguya, it would be better to give it to Lord Orochimaru.

This change will inevitably bring in a considerable amount of Destiny Power. As for Madara Uchiha, he should just continue being a ghost.

"The real body is waiting for you."

Orochimaru didn't say much, but gestured for Tamura Hiroshi to follow, saying this wasn't the place to talk.

He was merely a shadow clone; his true self was conducting an experiment and could not be separated.

Tamura Hao followed Orochimaru's shadow clone and soon arrived at an underground base, where he saw Orochimaru conducting an experiment, and the test subject was an old acquaintance, Yuhi Shinku.

"This kind of eye power!"

Looking at Kurenai Yuhi's blood-red eyes, Tamura Hiro immediately thought of Izumi Shimura, whose three-tailed fox had originally been transplanted with a combination of Sharingan and Blood Dragon Eyes, a product of Orochimaru's experiments.

While Yuhi Shinku's eyes still appear to be her own, they possess ocular power—a power derived from a combination of the Sharingan and the Blood Dragon Eye.

Those eyes had turned completely blood red, radiating a scarlet light that looked quite eerie.

"The number of Sharingan transplant slots given by Fugaku-kun is limited, so we can only choose to use the eye power extracted from Shinku-kun. We thought that by using the eye power inside to fuse with the eye, we could see if we could create a new eye, but the result was not ideal."

Orochimaru continued his work while explaining the techniques.

Lying on the operating table, Kurenai Yuhi turned her eyes to look at the Root ninja who had been brought in. Although she did not know his true identity, anyone Orochimaru spoke to in such a tone was definitely not simple.

"Has your pupil power been purified?"

After observing for a while, Tamura Hiroshi asked.

"It has been purified, which has reduced the rejection rate considerably, but it still exists."

Orochimaru was quite troubled. This was one of his research projects, and if it succeeded, it would verify many of his conjectures. Moreover, it was very difficult to find a Kage-level genjutsu master like him. He cherished this test subject and dared not try many of his bold ideas for fear of ruining it.

"Is it just about enhancing your illusion magic?"

After thinking it over, Tamura Hiroshi came up with a plan.

"Do you have a solution?"

Orochimaru paused in his movements, looked up, and seemed quite interested.

"Lord Orochimaru, have you ever heard of the Uchiha clan's Transfer Seal?"

"But that can only temporarily seal the power and techniques of the eyes, and it will disappear after use, rather than the fusion I need."

Orochimaru knew about the Rewriting Seal, and he had also resurrected many of the Uchiha clan's ancestors using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, so he had long mastered its inheritance and naturally knew what the Rewriting Seal was.

It is a special sealing technique that can seal eye techniques into one's own or another person's eyes. It will be triggered when the conditions are met, and it can even seal the eye techniques of the Kaleidoscope.

But that was only a one-time use, and it wasn't integrated with the eye.
