Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 30 The Son of the Hokage

"Something's really not right!"

Looking at his student, Fukai, who was holding a ninja sword, he felt that the student was becoming more and more mysterious. He had even obtained the corpses of Kinkaku and Ginkaku, and had many other unusual behaviors. This was not something that could be obtained simply by having money.

"Some secrets cannot be told."

Ye Yue Ai, standing to the side, shook her head. The matter of firearms was absolutely not to be discussed; the more people who knew, the greater the risk of a leak.

There was also the previous plan to split the tailed beast jinchūriki. Although that junior brother only provided simple ideas, there were still many difficulties to overcome in the specific implementation. But the most difficult thing in some things is that kind of inspiration.

Just like a line from one of my junior brother's erotic masterpieces, true genius is often 99% inspiration and 1% perspiration, which shows the importance of ideas and inspiration.

This short period of time has brought great benefits to the village, and there will certainly be more in the future.

They cherish such talent too much to even think about.

Even this time, he and his older cousin, Frokai, came along to act as bodyguards for their junior brother.

Seeing his cousin say this, Fukai didn't press the matter. Besides, as a ninja, one shouldn't have too much curiosity; one should just focus on doing one's job well.

After a silent and rapid voyage, they arrived at a suitable coastline in the Land of Whirlpools on the second day. Thousands of Cloud Ninjas disembarked with various supplies, set up camp in a suitable location, and awaited the upcoming war.

After changing into the attire of Konoha's Anbu, Tsuchida Tamura and three yellow-skinned Jonin took a detour and headed towards Uzushiogakure.

Because a formal letter of invitation had been sent to the Great Elder of the Whirlpool Clan earlier, someone was waiting at the village entrance to lead the earthen platform directly to the Great Elder.

Elder Uzumaki Aloe is the most opposed to Konoha among the Uzumaki clan members. She is also the most senior member of the Uzumaki clan after Ashina's death, and her influence in the clan even surpasses that of the current clan leader.

As for Tamura Hiroshi and the three ANBU Jonin, they were left at the village entrance. It was a sensitive time, and Uzushiogakure refused entry to all outsiders, especially ninjas.

Tamura Hao didn't see anything wrong with this, and stood quietly at the village entrance with the three Jonin, looking around at the surrounding environment.

Not long after, an awkward thing happened: three figures were escorted out of the village by a Uzumaki ninja who was dressed exactly like them, all in the style of Konoha's Anbu.

However, theirs is clearly genuine, far superior to these temporary imposters.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward and somber.

The two sides stood facing each other at the village entrance, while several Uzumaki ninjas at the entrance observed each other and noticed something amiss.

Tamura Hiroshi's gaze lingered more on the boy whose entire body was covered except for his mouth.

This outfit looks familiar!

Furthermore, judging from their physiques, the three should be quite young. Two men and one woman is a standard combination in Konoha. Two of them are wearing masks, and the third person is completely covered up, with only her mouth showing.

These three people must have come to take Kushina Uzumaki away, but why send three young men and women for such an important matter?

Or is there something special about the three of them?

Tamura Hao guessed the identities of the three. He could roughly guess the identity of the boy who was completely covered up, which was why he dared to conclude that the other party was on the side of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura. However, he could not make a judgment about the other two.

However, judging from their positions, the one from the Aburame family was standing at the back, while the boy was standing at the front, indicating a higher status.

After considering the information about the various ninja clans in Konoha, Tamura Hao had a general idea in mind.

"Go back and tell Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura not to have any ulterior motives. With the Fourth Shinobi World War imminent, we don't want any unpleasant things to happen within the village. You two should also not do anything to upset us, or you will face consequences you cannot bear."

Seeing that the other party was about to make a move, Tamura Hao stepped forward and said coldly, with an air of arrogance, as if he were looking down on the three people opposite him.

Now please call me Thousand Hands Hao!

Upon hearing Tamura Hao's words, the three people opposite him had a flicker in their eyes and finally dispersed the chakra they had gathered.

From their words, they roughly guessed that they were sent by the Senju clan. The Anbu was proposed and established by the Second Hokage, and its initial core members were from the Senju clan.

Even though there are quite a few Senju members in the Anbu now, it's not surprising that these four people would appear.

They were indeed worried about their father, but unfortunately, the outcome was already decided!

Tamura Hao pretended to look him over carefully, then seemed to recognize the boy in the lead and sneered.

"So it was you. He actually sent you to the Land of Whirlpools. Isn't he afraid you'll die here and he'll have to bury his child?"

Although the other party's identity cannot be confirmed yet, judging from his physique, he is most likely a young man, which proves that he is of high status. Otherwise, he would not be qualified to represent Konoha on a mission to Uzushiogakure. In this way, we can use words to trick him.

Seeing that his identity had been exposed, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who was in charge, sighed and said, "You Senju people have a deep misunderstanding of my father. The Second Hokage had his own reasons for passing the Hokage position to my father. You should not go against the Second Hokage's will."

"If it really is just a misunderstanding, why would our family's elite troops be sent to the front lines in the Land of Earth at this time? It's too far from the Land of Whirlpools, and they can't come to our aid in time."

Tamura Hao sneered, indicating that he was now a member of the Mori no Senju, and inwardly thought, "I knew it."

That last sentence was just a test to lure the other party into revealing their identity. Now it seems that they are indeed the son of the Hokage. This identity is indeed qualified to represent Uzushiogakure.

Although the three Cloud Village Anbu members behind them were confused, they still took their positions in coordination, their eyes fierce, and they all had kunai swords in their hands, looking ready to fight.

"You have a deep misunderstanding of the Hokage. No matter what the Hokage does, you will always misunderstand him."

The girl couldn't help but speak, expressing her dissatisfaction with Tamura Hao's words.

"You have misunderstood Hiruzen Sarutobi. The Hiruzen Sarutobi of twenty years ago is not the same as the Hiruzen Sarutobi of today. The poison of power is the most terrible poison in the world, capable of corrupting anyone's will."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's Will of Fire has become corrupted. Under his leadership, Konoha will only continue to decline and eventually lose its power and status over other ninja villages.

With his usual cold smile, Tamura Hiroshi is becoming increasingly engrossed in his work.

Commonly known as, getting into character!

At the same time, he was guessing the identity of the girl. The girl had looked at Sarutobi Shinnosuke several times before, and her eyes were not quite right, which proved that their relationship was not ordinary. Were they a couple?

Or perhaps, in other words, Sarutobi Konohamaru's future mother?

Who was Sarutobi Konohamaru's mother again?

I tried to recall the Naruto series I watched in my previous life, but I didn't remember much. It seemed like only one character was Hiruzen Sarutobi's right-hand man, a high-ranking member of the Anbu. That was all.

He even learned about Sarutobi Shinnosuke's title from Tsuchidai. He had learned about the important figures of the five great ninja villages from Tsuchidai, and the title of Hokage's son was naturally of utmost importance.

"You are the ones who have been corrupted!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke firmly denied it, and was also quite dissatisfied with this person's act of calling his father by his name, while at the same time guessing the other person's identity.

It must be a member of the Senju clan, and of a very high status, but none of the people I knew could be matched up.

Is he a hidden member of the Senju clan?

The girl was equally dissatisfied, but she couldn't get angry. She could only explain seriously: "The Senju clan has already produced two Hokage. If three more Hokage appear in succession, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the major ninja clans in the village. If things go wrong, it could cause Konoha to fall apart."

It was for this reason that the Second Hokage passed the position to the Third Hokage.

Furthermore, the Third Hokage has already taken Tsunade as his disciple. Given the Senju clan's prestige in the village, the Fourth Hokage will undoubtedly be Tsunade. Why are you in such a hurry?
