Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 271 Silver Light Escape

Tamura Hao studied Minato Namikaze's Light Release technique and roughly determined the opponent's Light Release tendencies, which were all based on the fusion of offensive nature transformations.

For example, the cutting nature of wind attribute, the high temperature nature of fire attribute, and the sharpness nature of lightning attribute—the light escape characteristic formed by the fusion of these three attributes is, as you can imagine, a laser.

That makes sense, though. Minato Namikaze has enough mobility with the Flying Thunder God Technique; what he lacks is attack power.

While the Rasengan has enormous potential, it requires an unlimited supply of chakra to use effectively. It's purely about brute force with chakra, which makes its chakra utilization inefficient. It's only suitable for super chakra users like Naruto Uzumaki.

While Minato Namikaze's chakra reserves weren't bad, they weren't particularly outstanding either, let alone compared to the likes of Uzumaki Senju. Even activating the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode required the Yin Seal's chakra to assist him, making him far inferior to the future Naruto Uzumaki in this aspect.

Clearly, the Rasengan route is not suitable for Minato Namikaze; researching and fusing a Light Release technique as the main attack would be much better.

The inspiration probably came from the Thunder God Sword, which the Second Hokage often used. At that time, Tobirama Senju did not have a hand seal-less ninjutsu like the Rasengan to fight in conjunction with the Flying Thunder God Technique, but he did have the Thunder God Sword, and the Lightning Release lightsaber formed by Lightning Release chakra was not bad either.

Minato Namikaze's current Light Release attack power is undoubtedly stronger. In terms of attack power alone, it has probably surpassed the Raikage's Piercing Release. However, the Raikage has the Hell Spear, which greatly increases the power of Piercing Release.

With the addition of Thunder Sage Mode, its power will surge even further.

However, they should not be underestimated. The combination of Light Escape and Flying Thunder God Technique is still very terrifying, enough to make them a top-tier assassin. If one is not careful, they may be beheaded.

Just as he was studying, he suddenly felt something strange in his arms.

"woke up."

Looking at the girl in his arms who had opened her eyes, Tamura Hao couldn't help but feel smug.

The day before yesterday was truly exhilarating. The attack power was terrifying, leaving the girl completely exhausted and unconscious for two whole days. It's clear how intense that play was.

"Shameless villain!"

Seeing the smug look on someone's face, Uchiha Hikaru angrily bit his chin hard.

Although she had been tormented in illusions before, it was never as intense as the real experience. She felt like she was really going to die, and that she had died many times.

"Have some lollipops to replenish your energy first, then we'll cook dinner when it gets light."

Tamura Hao grabbed a handful of lollipops that he had prepared beforehand. Uchiha Hikaru loved lollipops and had all kinds of flavors, so he had a lot of them.

Sugar is also an excellent food for replenishing energy, and it is an indispensable snack for Uchiha Hikaru, who has been doing high-intensity training.

In any case, a piece of bone from the Corpse Bone Vein was transplanted into its body, allowing it to obtain a weak Corpse Bone Vein. Although it cannot directly extract bones to use as weapons in battle like the Kaguya clan, it is not a problem to use them to strengthen and renew the skeleton. Teeth are also a type of bone, so there is no need to worry about tooth decay.

Uchiha Hikaru immediately tore open a lollipop and stuffed it into his mouth, while his hand touched his lower abdomen.

"Will there be children?"

If I count the days, it should be around these next few days.

"Um?"

Tamura Hao was taken aback, then used Kaguya's Tenseigan power to make a detailed observation, and then his eye twitched involuntarily.

"Don't participate in the final battle in a few days."

I hadn't noticed it before, but now I see a large cell has implanted. Am I going to be a dad?

I'm still a child, at least physically.

"Are you having a baby?"

Kushina Uzumaki, who was sleeping, suddenly raised her head and leaned over to press it against Hikaru Uchiha's lower abdomen. On the other side, Vanilla Uzumaki also raised her little head, her eyes looking even more resentful.

"It's only just implanted, what can you possibly hear?"

Tamura Hiroshi rolled his eyes. "Your belly isn't even showing yet, what can you hear?"

"Hikari-neechan, how could you give in to that big bad guy?"

Raising her head, Kushina Uzumaki was still very angry, feeling that Hikaru had betrayed her.

"What else can I do? I've reached my limit in every aspect. Even if I fuse with Swift Escape, I can't surpass him. Staying stagnant is not what I want."

As he spoke, Uchiha Hikaru peeled a lollipop and put it into Kushina's mouth.

It wasn't an impulsive act on her part, but rather the result of rational thought.

She knew that this shameless villain possessed a great deal of power; among the women, Karura had actually acquired the most and was the strongest.

Although Gallo didn't write much about this in her letters, and most of them were words of self-consolation, she could still discern some of it.

She used to be able to quickly improve her strength through cultivation, which made her feel very secure. However, in the past month, her improvement speed has slowed down, and she has obviously reached the limit of her bloodline potential.

If we want to improve further and quickly, we can only start with this shameless villain.

Moreover, after spending so much time together, apart from being a bit annoying at times, things have been pretty good most of the time.

So they naturally established a relationship, but the pregnancy was not something she had expected.

But it doesn't matter. They've spent a hundred years in that illusion, and they've already had all the romance they could have. They're practically an old married couple now. One of their regrets is not being able to have a child in the illusion. It's good that they have one now.

Chewing on an orange-flavored lollipop, Kushina Uzumaki couldn't say anything more.

"Don't rush to fuse with Swift Release, the baby can't handle it. Besides, I've been researching a stronger Bloodline Elimination Light Release these past few days, which is very suitable for you. During this pregnancy, further cultivate the nature changes of both wind and fire attributes, especially the wind attribute."

"You should also practice Yang Release more; it can provide assistance when your bloodline chakra fuses and transforms your body."

When Tamura Hao talked about Light Release, he said that his previous research on the scroll had given him a deep understanding of the fusion of the three attributes of wind, fire, and lightning. He realized that the fusion of these three attributes would inevitably result in Light Release, at most with different tendencies.

Just like molten escape, there are lime-type molten escape, magma-type molten escape, and rubber-type molten escape, all caused by different properties.

The same applies to Light Release. Because Minato Namikaze uses offensive nature transformations, the Light Release he creates is a laser-type attack.

If there is this type of light-escape technique, there will naturally be other types of light-escape techniques, such as the Pika Pika no Mi (Glint-Glint Fruit) of the pirates next door, which can also enhance speed bursts to form light-speed kicks, and can also be launched to form long-range attacks.

If possible, a defensive type of Light Escape technique can also be developed. This depends on the cultivation of the nature changes of the basic attributes. As long as you can cultivate and integrate it, you can continuously improve your Light Escape.

This is the most perfect light escape he envisioned. He had already had this idea for a long time, and he even thought about the third attribute to cultivate, which was fire. Then he would fuse it to create scorching escape, and then find a way to make it into the kind of light escape he wanted.

However, I'm not very confident because there's no precedent to refer to. Although I guess it's highly likely that I can fuse it using both lightning and fire attributes, I'm not very sure.

Minato Namikaze's use of light-escape technique gave him direction and confirmed some of his previous guesses.

"Um!"

Uchiha Hikaru nodded obediently. As long as it could improve his strength, waiting a little longer wouldn't matter.

Not to mention that this is paving the way for future cultivation and transformation.

As for Swift Escape, she was already very familiar with it in the illusion and could easily fuse with it on her own. However, the second step of fusing and transforming her body and bloodline was a bit difficult, and it was even more difficult to undergo the transformation during pregnancy, so she had to wait.

As for the final battle to come, she experienced even more great battles in the illusion, especially against the reanimated Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama. Even when she teamed up with another version of herself and used Swift Release, she still won with great difficulty.

She no longer needs to go through the trials of war to improve herself.

"Are you going to deal with Minato Namikaze?"

Kushina suddenly asked, "Since Hikari can't participate in the upcoming final battle, then Minato Namikaze will have to be dealt with by that big bad guy."

"Although my Flying Thunder God Technique can't evade Minato Namikaze, I won't be lacking in speed."

Tamura Hao was very confident in his speed, not to mention that he was already prepared to fuse with Light Release, and his training in fire attribute nature transformation was sufficient.

Once the Light Escape is successfully fused, one's speed will increase even further.

As for the Flying Thunder God Technique, he can only use the chakra of the Ten-Tails to perform it, which adds a layer of complexity. It's fine for traveling, but it's not very useful for combat.

Especially when fighting against a master like Minato Namikaze who uses the Flying Thunder God Technique, being even a little slower is enough to be countered.

In this respect, he couldn't compete; he could only rely on pure speed to fight against Minato Namikaze.

The four chatted for a while before going to sleep. The next day, after breakfast, Tamura Hiroshi went to Raikage-sensei's residence.

Yotsuki Ai and Fukai had arrived long ago. Yesterday, Tamura Hao had mentioned that they would be fusing the Kekkei Tota Light Release today, so the two of them naturally came to watch.

Originally, Tamura Hao's plan for bloodline limit fusion wasn't going to be this fast. However, his limited Tsukuyomi journey with Uchiha Hikaru allowed him to train the three nature transformations of fire attribute to their limit. In addition, he obtained Namikaze Minato's light release fusion record, so he prepared to fuse ahead of schedule.

"Guang girl, what kind of look is that?"

Looking at Uchiha Hikaru's instinctive look of disdain and disgust, the Third Raikage was somewhat puzzled.

Have I offended that girl?

Night Moon Ai and Fukai were also very confused, as they hadn't offended this girl.

"Ahem...it's a slight side effect of the illusion."

With a dry cough, Tamura Hiroshi awkwardly indicated that it was just a minor side effect.

"What kind of bizarre illusion have you created this time?"

The Third Raikage's face darkened. He felt that he might also be in the other party's illusion, and that his character must be terrible, otherwise Hikaru wouldn't have shown that kind of look when she saw him.

"Teacher, it's better if you don't know."

I turned my head away, not daring to meet the teacher's gaze, feeling very uneasy.

"Sometimes I really want to get rid of you."

His old face grew increasingly dark, even contorted with rage. The Third Raikage knew that his illustrious reputation would one day be ruined by this wicked disciple.

"Could our reputation be affected too?"

Night Moon Ai and Fukai's eyes were also very unfriendly. What kind of monsters have you made us into that makes Hikari so contemptuous and disgusted?

"I'm starting to fuse with Light Release."

Tamura Hao quickly changed the subject, then raised his hands, his left hand gathering a ball of Swift Release chakra and his right hand gathering a ball of Fire Release chakra with explosive properties, and then activated the Fusion Eye Technique to fuse them.

As the Ten-Tails' eyes evolved, its Mangekyou Sharingan techniques were also upgraded, becoming Rinnegan-level techniques with greatly enhanced effects.

Tamura Hao estimated that he was now able to fuse four-attribute bloodlines, and the fusion of attributes that were eliminated by three-attribute bloodlines was a piece of cake.

Under the influence of the Fusion Eye Technique, the two chakra clusters successfully fused, primarily driven by the stronger Swift Release chakra, transforming into a new, bright silver chakra.

"Isn't it gold?"

Tamura Hao was puzzled. According to the records, Minato Namikaze's Light Release was golden, so why was his silver?

While there might be differences due to variations in the nature of the chakra used, surely the differences shouldn't be this significant?

Is it because of the influence of Swift Release chakra?

Although he didn't particularly like the silver color, Tamura Hao had no choice but to accept it in the end. After making preparations, he absorbed the bright silver light chakra into his body and guided the chakra bloodline to undergo another transformation.

Black Zetsu, who had been staying in the Origin Sphere, once again used the power of Yin-Yang Release to secretly assist his younger brother in fusion and transformation, reducing the destructive power of Light Release chakra while further stabilizing him to prevent him from going berserk.

The light chakra fused using the fusion eye technique was much more stable than the fusion forced by Minato Namikaze using the Rasengan. In addition, with Tamura Hao's absolutely pure chakra control, there was no berserk situation, and the fusion was even much smoother than that of the Third Raikage.

Of course, this smoothness is relative.

After all, this is a transformation at the genetic level, and no matter how gentle it is, it will still damage the cells. Even the pores on Tamura's body surface were constantly seeping bloody sweat.

The group was very nervous, but they could only watch quietly from the sidelines.

They couldn't help with this level of cultivation.

After a full day of this, Tamura Hao, who was almost exhausted, finally completed his fusion and transformation, and his abilities improved dramatically in all aspects.

"Owner!"

Vanilla Whirlpool, who had been anxiously waiting on the side, quickly handed over a large bottle of nutrient solution she was carrying. This was the village's latest research, using diluted life water as the main ingredient, which could effectively replenish the body's needs and consumption.

Uchiha Hikaru and Uzumaki Kushina used wet towels to wipe the blood off his face.

Tamura Hao took the large bottle of nutrient solution and gulped it down in one go, until his stomach was bloated.

His stomach began to absorb quickly, replenishing the lost water first, and Tamura Hao's pale cheeks gradually regained some color.

"I was too hasty. Next time I need to push my body to its limits."

He let out a long sigh of relief, still shaken.

The fusion just now was very dangerous. If it weren't for Black Zetsu's secret help and Kaguya's transformation into the Rinnegan with six tomoe, which greatly enhanced her Yin-Yang Release power, my body would definitely have collapsed after fusing with Light Release chakra.

Without the Otsutsuki bloodline as a foundation, it is too difficult and too dangerous to rely solely on one's own fusion and transformation of chakra bloodline.

Especially since he doesn't have a visible fire attribute, the transformation is more difficult and dangerous, much more dangerous than the Raikage's fusion transformation.

If the elimination of bloodline limits with only three attributes is already so dangerous and difficult, then the fusion and transformation of bloodline limits with four, five, or even seven attributes will certainly be even more dangerous.

I was too hasty. If I had further refined and perfected my immortal body, and then permanently opened the Eight Gates, it would have been much safer to fuse and transform into a bloodline limit.

Fortunately, it was a success. The new Light Release chakra not only enhances speed like Swift Release, but also possesses an explosive power as a propulsion, making the burst speed even faster.

His previous speed was three times the speed of sound, but now he is confident that he can unleash four times the speed of sound. If he can permanently open the eight gates, he should be able to reach five times the speed of sound.

This is a rather terrifying improvement.

"It's good that it succeeded!"

Seeing his disciple complete the fusion, the Third Raikage breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Hao, can you get it done for me now?"

Once Tamura Hao's condition improved slightly, Yozuki Ai couldn't wait to ask him.

He also had the idea of ​​fusing his bloodline limit this time, and they had even discussed it last time. He had a direction and had been adjusting his state these past few days.

"The chakra fusion doesn't consume me, it consumes Samehada within me. My condition doesn't affect the effectiveness of the fusion eye technique. But are you really determined to fuse those two natures?"

Tamura Hao asked earnestly, "Yozuki Ai's best skill is lightning attribute, and she has even transformed into black lightning and golden lightning. She is only missing purple lightning."

Secondly, there is the Earth attribute, which specializes in changes to gravity, primarily for practicing Light and Heavy Rock Techniques and Ultra Light and Heavy Rock Techniques.

Because of his specialization, coupled with his frequent exchanges with Huang Tu about earth-attribute cultivation, he has cultivated this skill to its limit, reaching the standard for fusion with bloodline limits.

However, the fusion of bloodlines is extraordinary, especially the first bloodline, which almost determines the direction of future cultivation.

Moreover, this is a completely new direction of integration, and there are currently no examples in the ninja world to refer to, so there is a lot of uncertainty.

"This is it!"

Ye Yue Ai was quite certain that this was the bloodline route she needed.

Moreover, with the decisive battle imminent, it's always good to improve one's strength.

Even if he gained immortality through the evil god's ritual, he was not truly immortal. Once his head was smashed, he would still die. At most, Xiao Hao could preserve his soul.

He didn't want that.

Seeing that Yotsuki Ai was so determined, Tamura Hao said nothing more, his gaze falling on the two balls of chakra in her hand, and he activated the Fusion Eye Technique on them.

The two chakra fusions successfully transformed into a new chakra, which was then transferred into Aya's body. Aya sat cross-legged on the ground and silently guided her own chakra to facilitate the transformation.

"My turn!"

Fukai stepped forward, gathering wind and lightning chakra in his hands.

His integration direction is better, which is Swift Escape, because he has both wind and thunder attributes, and he has been working towards Swift Escape in the past. He has also had more exchanges with that student, so he has accumulated enough experience.

Tamura Hao didn't say much, but helped Fukai fuse the two chakras into Swift Release chakra, and then integrated it into his body just like Yotsuki Aina.

The Third Raikage watched silently from the sidelines, without uttering a word, even though his son had fused with a completely new bloodline limit.

Firstly, I have enough confidence in that disciple and my son; secondly, this was my son's own choice.

The child has grown up and is entitled to decide his own future path; as a father, he can only choose to support him.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Hikaru kept watching Uzumaki Kushina and Uzumaki Vanilla, and an idea gradually formed in his mind.

Although I am leaving the battlefield, I am not incapable of contributing.
