Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 298 Four-Attribute Bloodline

Leaving aside what happened in Konoha, Tamura Hao and Kaguya wandered around the Hidden Cloud Village for a few days before returning to the Summoning World.

In fact, Kumogakure can no longer be called a village; it is now a city, specifically a mountain city.

Even in the planning of the mountain city, Tamura Hao made some suggestions based on the construction style of the mountain city in his previous life, so as to make better use of the mountain terrain of Kumogakure, form a unique style, and make better use of the land area.

The population has reached nearly one million and continues to expand. Even the food and entertainment complex has been expanded several times, and the entire mountain has been excavated.

With more people, it becomes more lively, and there are more fun places to visit.

Of course, Tamura Hao particularly emphasized controlling prices, especially housing prices, so that things don't turn into places where people used to live in tiny, toilet-sized spaces. That would be equivalent to creating a slum, which would seriously affect people's livelihoods and development.

Returning with Kaguya, who had barely had enough fun, Tamura Hiroshi began to fuse the light-elemental techniques of the four elements.

The purpose of the previous trip was to relax and get my mind and body back to their peak.

It's the same laboratory as before, but the equipment that detects detailed bodily data has been upgraded and is now capable of more in-depth monitoring.

"This time, no intubation or medication is needed."

Tamura Hiroshi glared coldly at Tsunade as she pushed in a cart full of medicine.

This woman really needs to be taught a lesson!

"I've carefully prepared this for you these past few days. You can't just say you don't need it; you're not a doctor."

Tsunade retorted that she was the number one medical ninja in the ninja world, and that he, a brat, wanted to compete with her in medical skills.

Tamura Hao, lying on the machine, remained silent for a moment, then flashed with golden light and appeared in front of Tsunade, cutting off her head and handing it to Karura.

"Don't let her cause trouble!"

He didn't want to be intubated by this woman, nor could he be given medication. Last time, he felt like his kidneys were almost ruined, and he even developed some cirrhosis of the liver.

With her head severed and her chakra suppressed by the Eight Thousand Spears mark, Tsunade couldn't even speak; she could only glare angrily.

"I already told you, Hao definitely won't agree."

Looking at Tsunade's head in his hand, Karura made a helpless remark.

She had tried to persuade him before, but he wouldn't listen. Now look what happened, he's been beheaded.

Everyone else couldn't help but shake their heads with amusement at the two of them making a scene. Even Senju Nawaki, the younger brother, didn't say anything. He even thought that his sister was a better match for that bastard.

At least that bastard can keep my older sister in check, and he really wants to marry her off as soon as possible so she won't keep borrowing money from him.

If it were a normal loan, that would be fine, but my sister borrowed money to gamble, and she always loses. The small amount of money she lent out is definitely gone forever.

He's now a Kage-level powerhouse, and he's in charge of greening many harsh places in the Land of Lightning. His annual reward for these missions is over 100 million taels of silver, but unfortunately, he hasn't saved a single tael. His older sister took it all.

Pit!

After dealing with Tsunade, Tamura Hao lay back down on the instrument. After Karura confirmed that all the data monitoring was normal, he raised his left hand and condensed a ball of silver light release chakra, while his right hand condensed a ball of invisible and colorless earth-style chakra.

Because it's a change in properties related to gravity, no physical form appears, but this makes fusion much easier.

Activating the Fusion Eye Technique, the two chakra clusters slowly approached each other under the influence of the immense eye power and chakra, eventually fusing and transforming. The brightness of the silver chakra further increased, clearly indicating a successful fusion.

However, this is only the first step, and the simplest one. The real challenge lies in the fusion and transformation with the body.

It's important to understand that the gap widens as bloodline limits progress. The chakra of a bloodline limit is not significantly different from that of the five common ninjutsu. While ninjas with ninjutsu-type bloodline limits may have an advantage over ordinary ninjas, it is not an overwhelming one.

However, the power of Bloodline Elimination is far beyond that of Bloodline Limit, and they are not even on the same level.

For example, Dust Release can decompose the power of all bloodline limits, and it can even cut and destroy Wood Release. As long as you have enough chakra, you can even fight against Hashirama Senju.

The gap in bloodline elimination is already so huge, let alone the even stronger four-attribute bloodlines. Even if Tamura Hao has honed his body to its current limit, he is not confident that he can succeed on his own.

There was no other way; he not only had to upgrade his bloodline limit, but he also had to raise his earth attribute to become a dominant attribute, which would make the transformation process even more difficult.

This requires the assistance of Black Zetsu and Kaguya's Yin-Yang Release.

Without hesitation, Tamura Hao absorbed the fused chakra into his body and guided the transformation of his chakra bloodline.

The moment it entered his body, a large number of his cells collapsed. His right hand, which was the first to be fused, was reduced to bones. Even his immortal body, which he had cultivated to a minor level, could hardly withstand it.

Black Zetsu in the Origin Sphere hurriedly mobilized the power of Yin-Yang Release to suppress that chakra, reducing its activity to buy time for his younger brother to fuse and transform.

Ignoring his injuries, Tamura Hao focused entirely on manipulating his chakra to help the chakra flow within his body, gradually altering and enhancing his chakra bloodline.

Even so, the damage to the body is still considerable, with large-scale cell breakdown, followed by rapid cell division and repair with the help of powerful life forces, maintaining a balance.

Everyone around witnessed this change and became very nervous, even somewhat anxious.

Time slowly passed, and after almost a whole day, Tamura Hao finally succeeded in transforming his chakra bloodline. As a price, his body had become skin and bones, and his flesh and blood had been disintegrated. Even with the support of life force, there was still a limit to what he could do.

And this is not just cell disintegration, but also the lifespan consumed by cell division and regeneration, the lifespan of the body.

Cell division in living organisms is limited in number. Although Tamura Hao's lifespan was greatly extended due to his cultivation of the Immortal Body, it did not increase the number of cell divisions, but rather extended the cell's lifespan and slowed down the division process.

However, the current large-scale and rapid division is causing a huge loss to lifespan.

Tamura Hiroshi knew this, but didn't take it to heart.

His primary goal is to become stronger and change everything in the Fourth Shinobi World War. If he can't survive the ordeal with the Sage of Six Paths and his brother, there will be no future for him. At that point, no matter how long his lifespan is, it will be meaningless.

"Owner!"

Vanilla Whirlpool, whose face was already streaked with tears, quickly stepped forward to help him up and handed him the high-concentration nutrient solution she had been holding in her arms. This time it had really been too dangerous.

Tamura Hao drank the entire bottle of nutrient solution before he felt a little better. At least his heartbeat and blood circulation returned, and his emaciated body looked a little fuller.

"Did it work?"

Everyone was very much looking forward to it, after all, this was the fusion of four attribute bloodlines, surpassing the elimination of three attribute bloodlines, which was unprecedented.

Once the fusion is successful, their path can take another step forward. Even if they have not yet reached the standard of fusing the four attribute bloodlines, knowing that they can continue on the road ahead will give them more motivation to cultivate.

"It's done."

Tamura Hiroshi nodded. Although this time it was more dangerous, at least it was a success.

As for the dangers involved, he didn't take them to heart.

Look at other fantasy worlds, which of those powerful figures didn't break through by being utterly destroyed, or even completely annihilated, to achieve their transformation?

Compared to that, the damage I just suffered is nothing.

Not to mention that he also has a cultivation plan for the Immortal Body. As long as he completes the second stage, his physique will definitely be greatly improved, and it will be much easier to withstand the fusion of the five attribute bloodlines at that time.

"Leave this brat to me. I'll make sure he recovers as quickly as possible."

Tsunade, who had somehow reattached her head, suddenly appeared beside Tamura Hiroshi. After leaving a few words, she used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave, her smile impossible to conceal.

After waiting for so long, this opportunity has finally come.

Even the prepared medicine was just a disguise to lower that brat's guard.

"Hahaha..."

When taken to the laboratory she had secretly built, Tsunade couldn't help but burst into laughter, a wild and unrestrained laugh that made her ample bosom tremble. Tamura Hiroshi's heart trembled along with her laughter.

"Tsunade-neechan, I really like you. Be my wife!"

Tamura Hiroshi tried his best to appear affectionate, hoping to move the older woman.

"You brat, now you know fear!"

Tsunade's smile was quite sinister. She was naturally not going to fall for it. No matter what this brat said today, she would have to put him on a tube.

"As expected, older people are harder to fool!"

Seeing that Tsunade hadn't fallen for his trick, Tamura Hao sighed and lay down.

Do whatever you want, I'll just retaliate twice as hard later.

Tsunade hummed a cheerful tune as she inserted the prepared IV needles into her veins. Her emaciated state had its advantages; at least the veins were easier to access.

Of course, a urinary catheter is essential, since so much medication injected needs to be metabolized.

Tsunade inserted it very carefully, all the way into her bladder.

After working for more than half an hour, Tamura Hao finally stopped, feeling refreshed. At this moment, his whole body was covered with IV drips, nearly a hundred in total.

As for Tamura Hao's consciousness, it arrived at the Origin Sphere Space, bringing with it a portion of chakra, the latest version of Light Release chakra.

"Once all the earth-attribute properties are incorporated in the future, the speed should be able to reach twenty times the speed of sound."

Sensing that chakra, Tamura Hiroshi was filled with confidence for the future.

This fusion involves changes in the properties of gravity, which can not only increase gravity, but also decrease gravity, and even perform anti-gravity operations.

This will undoubtedly greatly improve speed, not to mention the incorporation of other earth-related properties.

For example, hardening properties can enhance the strength of body cells, thus enabling them to withstand stronger bursts of power, and also providing an increase in strength and defense.

This will be a major turning point for his bloodline system, and his combat power will double.

"The effect will be even better once you transform gravity into gravitational repulsion."

Black Zetsu was also happy for his brother's success. With his brother becoming stronger, the plan to save their mother would be more secure.

Finally, even after Hagoromo and Isshiki were forced out, it was the younger brother who had to step in and kill them.

"We really need to hurry up and grasp the transformation of gravitational repulsion."

Tamura Hiroya has been keeping an eye on the forces of attraction and repulsion. These two forces are essentially the same, just applied in reverse.

Just like the applications of gravity and antigravity, they are two sides of the same coin.

"The powers of thunder, wind, and fire are difficult to transform. How did the Sage of Six Paths and the others transform their Yin and Yang powers back then?"

Speaking of the transformation of gravity and repulsion, Tamura Hao thought of his previous training in the three attributes of wind, thunder, and fire.

For example, with the lightning attribute, he has fused the three transformed lightning techniques into one, but he just can't form the lightning power he envisioned.

The same applies to cultivating wind and fire attributes, which greatly troubles him.

"At present, we can only speculate that it is related to the cultivation of immortal arts. Hagoromo obtained the power of yang after mastering immortal arts, while Hamura obtained the power of yin at the same time after being resurrected by the Immortal Talisman."

Black can only speculate on this, after all, even his mother didn't have the so-called Yin and Yang powers back then, and Hagoromo and Hamura didn't leave any records of those two powers, nor did they pass them down.

Perhaps they had been preparing for this all along, intending to use the power of Yin and Yang to seal their mother once again.

If they don't understand the so-called Yin-Yang power, it will always be a huge threat to them.

"The Yin and Yang attributes are not easy to cultivate for the time being, so I can only work hard on cultivating the power of lightning."

Tamura Hao also knew that he could only find a breakthrough from natural energy. At present, the most suitable thing for him was to integrate and cultivate the power of thunder, so as to drive the transformation of his immortal body.

It has been proven before that simply changing the nature of lightning cannot obtain the power of lightning; therefore, the only option is to go further and try to fuse with the power of lightning.

It's a fusion, not a mixture like the Thunder Sage Mode.

Regardless of the type of immortal mode, they are essentially just a mixture, not a deep fusion.

He needs to completely integrate the power of lightning into his body, making it a part of himself like the natural energy he knows today, and perfectly fuse it with his chakra. Then he can see if he can transform into the lightning power he envisions.

Leaving aside the exchange between Tamura Hao and Black Zetsu, the women returned home and went about their own business. Although they knew that Tsunade would take the opportunity to retaliate against their men, they also understood that Tsunade was the strongest medical ninja, and with her looking after them, there would be no problem.

Meanwhile, Garuro carefully studied the monitoring data and compared it with the monitoring data that had been merged before, trying to find a pattern to help Hao to be more relaxed and safer in the next fusion.

"Is there anything you'd like to ask?"

After watching for a while, Karura drank a cup of hot tea and turned to look at Natsumi Hoshi, who had brought the tea over.

"Does he always train this hard?"

Xia Rixing hesitated for a moment before asking. In the past, she had always hated and been annoyed by that big jerk, but seeing his crazy cultivation this time had left her with a deep feeling and some doubts.

It's just cultivation, do you really have to work that hard?

She couldn't understand it.

"You knew before that using meteorites for cultivation would damage you, even cost you your life, so why did you persist?"

Galuro countered with a question.

"We are doing this to better protect the village and the people we want to protect."

Xia Rixing answered without hesitation, saying that this was something she didn't need to consider, and it was also her old way of ninja.

"Like you, Hao also wants to better protect the village and the people he wants to protect, including us."

Karura smiled; this was the main reason why she gradually became infatuated with Hao.

Like Luo Sha, they were both wholeheartedly devoted to the village, but Luo Sha's motivation was largely driven by his own ambition, while Hao's desire to protect was more pure.

"His strength is already the strongest in the ninja world, what's the point of him desperately trying to break through?"

Xia Rixing still didn't understand; this was her biggest question.

"That's because you know too little. The ninja world is not as simple as you think. There are extremely terrifying experts hiding in the shadows. Even Hao's current strength is like an ant in front of such experts."

The burden he carried was far heavier than we imagined.

Karura reluctantly revealed a secret: she still finds it hard to believe that the moon was actually created by humans. That power was terrifying, truly the power to create and destroy the world.

Compared to those powerful figures, they are all too weak now, far inferior to the entire Hidden Cloud Village combined.

Therefore, they need to become stronger. Not only Hao Jun, but also themselves and others must follow in Hao's footsteps.

"How is that possible? Even the legendary First Hokage didn't have that kind of power, did he?"

Xia Rixing also couldn't imagine it. The strongest person she knew was the First Hokage, who ended the war and opened up the era of ninja villages. He was even revered as the God of Shinobi, a god-like existence.

"How should I put it? Let me give you an example using bloodline limits!"

After thinking about it, Karura felt that using the bloodline route as an example would make it easier to understand.

"You know that chakra has seven attributes. The fusion of two attributes can create a bloodline limit, and the fusion of three attributes can create a bloodline elimination. Hao has already completed the fusion of four attributes."

Later on, there were fusions of five, six, and even seven attributes.

Furthermore, the further the integration progresses, the greater the gap will become.

This is just a pure chakra attribute fusion. In addition to these, there are also special bloodlines in the ninja world, such as the Senju Uchiha Uzumaki, which would be even more terrifying when combined.

The ninja world has existed for over a thousand years, and no one knows how many powerful figures have been born there.

Moreover, lifespan is difficult to determine. For example, the immortals of the original three holy lands could live for hundreds or thousands of years, and the strong ninjas could also live for that long.

Can you imagine hundreds or even thousands of years of cultivation and accumulation?

Although these are all just speculations, Karura thinks it's very likely. At the very least, the legendary Sage of Six Paths, the progenitor of the ninja world, must have possessed unimaginable power. He might have fused seven chakra natures, and with the legendary Rinnegan he possessed, his strength was truly unimaginable.

"Hao carries the hopes and future of all of us on his shoulders. That burden is very heavy. You should try to take the initiative to understand him."

Once you get to know him, you'll realize he's actually a pretty good person.

Galura hopes that Xia Rixing can take the initiative to understand Hao and then join their camp to share the pressure.

There was no other way; they had been bullied too badly at night and were no match for Hao. They desperately needed allies to join them.

Xia Rixing looks pretty good; you can tell from her figure that she's good at bearing children.

Actually, she hoped Tsunade would join them, since she had the best figure and the strongest physique among them, and could definitely withstand a lot of firepower.

Unfortunately, Tsunade is too stubborn, so now we can only try to get Xia Rixing into the fandom.

Why should I know him?

Xia Rixing was upset; she had been bullied terribly by that jerk before.

"Hao is actually a very good person, but he is sometimes impatient and his methods are a bit too aggressive."

Gallo comforted her, saying that he had come through the same thing.

I was tormented by Hao back then, and it took me a long time to realize that it was Hao's intention. That was indeed very efficient, helping me get through the most desperate period.
