Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 31 A Crippled Scam

"I'd only ever heard of big breasts and no brains before, I never imagined that people without breasts also lack brains."

Tamura Hao looked the girl up and down with an expression as if she were an idiot, especially noticing her not-so-curvy chest.

These words really stung the young girl; no woman could tolerate such sarcasm.

"Clang!"

"Kid, I've put up with you for far too long!"

The girl brandished her ninja sword from behind, pointing it directly at the masked boy opposite her, and gritted her teeth in hatred.

Even the best temper can't withstand this kind of stimulation.

"Sako!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke quickly grabbed the girl's wrist; they couldn't fight here.

Their mission is to take away the next generation of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. They have already discussed this with the Uzumaki clan chief, who will later send someone to bring his granddaughter to Konoha.

This is a crucial moment that cannot be messed up, as the other party is an important figure in the Senju clan, and the Senju and Uzumaki clans are related by marriage and are essentially one entity.

Fighting a direct descendant of the Senju clan in Uzumaki Village is tantamount to slapping the face of the Uzumaki clan, which is a serious matter.

Our top priority now is to find a new generation of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki; we must not cause any unforeseen complications.

Tamura Hiroshi crossed his arms, completely unconcerned about the girl's anger.

I am now a direct descendant of the Senju clan of the Forest. This is the ancestral home of the Uzumaki clan, who have been related to us by marriage for generations. Do you dare to make a move?

"You said that none of the major ninja clans in the village want the Senju clan to produce another Hokage. Do you think the Sarutobi Shimura clan would be willing to do so?"

Your families have risen to the top in the village, controlling many important departments and positions. Would you be willing to give up the power and benefits you have gained?

Even if you were willing, would the Ino-Shika-Cho and other ninja clans who have long been with you agree?

Based on our understanding of Hiruzen Sarutobi, he will most likely find a talented, unattached commoner and train him to become the Fourth Hokage, making him his puppet to continue maintaining your group's interests.

Jiraiya and Orochimaru had a higher chance of becoming the Fourth Hokage than Tsunade.

No, Orochimaru's abilities and personality are too strong; he couldn't possibly be a qualified puppet. He should be an idiot like Jiraiya, or one of his disciples. There's no way he could be Tsunade's puppet.

If Tsunade wants to rise to power, she'll have to wait until Hiruzen Sarutobi dies first.

You just said you wanted Tsunade to rise to power. Is your brain as flat as your chest, or are you trying to insult my intelligence?

Tamura Hao made no attempt to hide his hostility towards Hiruzen Sarutobi and the three people opposite him; this was the stance of the Senju clan.

The Uzumaki ninjas at the village entrance were a bit bewildered, not expecting to witness such a spectacle, and the situation in Konoha seemed quite complicated.

"you……"

The girl's chest heaved violently with anger, making her not-so-curved bosom look more attractive.

"Sako, once they've formed their minds, they can't be persuaded. We can only use time to prove their prejudices wrong."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke sighed, speaking in a helpless tone, but inwardly he was filled with murderous intent towards the brat opposite him.

"Let's go!"

Without saying anything more, Sarutobi Shinnosuke glanced at the wretched brat and then led the two away.

Before leaving, the girl still glared at the man hatefully, looking as if she wanted to skin him alive.

Tamura Hao then defiantly puffed out his chest, which made the girl even angrier.

If it weren't for Sarutobi Shinnosuke holding him back, he would have drawn his sword and slashed at the enemy.

I've never seen such a nasty brat!

Watching the three leave, Tamura Hao turned to the Uzumaki ninjas who were monitoring them, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"Why was Hiruzen Sarutobi's son allowed to enter Uzumaki Village, while we, as representatives of the Senju clan, were barred from entering? Could it be that the Uzumaki clan, seeing that the Senju clan has lost its Hokage, wants to abandon the old and form a new marriage alliance with the Sarutobi clan?"

Originally, he simply wanted to disguise himself as a member of the Konoha Anbu to conceal his identity, but now he can only disguise himself as a member of the Senju clan of the Forest.

"Don't talk nonsense. We Uzumaki clan have extraordinary sensory abilities and can sense the chakra of others. Your chakra is not the chakra of the Senju of the Forest at all."

A middle-aged ninja said coldly, "This is the main reason why I chose to keep the four of them out."

Although the previous scenes were good, chakra doesn't lie, especially the chakra of the Senju clan, which he would never mistake.

"It seems you guys are really outdated; you don't even understand the techniques of chakra disguise."

Tamura Hao spoke with a disappointed tone, then connected with the phantom of Kaguya, using it to simulate the chakra originating from Tobirama Senju.

This is an ability he developed from Kaguya's phantom over this period of time. It's similar to the disguise technique of White Zetsu, which absorbs the chakra of others to create a perfect simulation that is difficult to distinguish.

Although the connection between chakra and the spiritual world makes it less convenient and less effective, it is still useful for confusing the perceptions of others.

As expected, the middle-aged ninja from the Uzumaki clan changed his expression after simulating Tobirama Senju's chakra.

He was very familiar with the Senju clan's chakra, which was also very special, possessing astonishing vitality; this feeling was unmistakable.

"Sorry, I didn't notice before. Please come with me!"

After confirming the situation several times, the middle-aged ninja apologized and invited Tamura Hao and his companions to enter the village.

Since they are from the Senju clan, then there's no problem.

"This is my first time visiting Uzushiogakure. I was just thinking of taking a look around. I've heard Grandma Mito talk about Uzushiogakure a lot before."

As Tamura Hiroshi walked into the village, he kept making up stories, claiming that he was a junior of Uzumaki Mito.

Sure enough, after hearing Tamura Hao mention Uzumaki Mito, the Uzumaki ninjas became much closer to him.

The three Anbu Cloud Ninjas exchanged bewildered glances before silently following, paying even more attention to the brat brought by Lord Tsuchidai.

Although that kid is weak, he does have some redeeming qualities, no wonder Lord Tsuchidae values ​​him.

In this way, Tamura Hao successfully infiltrated Uzushiogakure and was taken around the village. He even entered the village's shrine dedicated to the Grim Reaper, where many hideous Grim Reaper masks were displayed on the walls.

Of course, the three ANBU ninjas were not allowed to enter such a sensitive area and waited outside.

"Which branch of the Senju family are you from?"

At this moment, an old man walked in and looked at the boy who was looking at the Grim Reaper masks.

"Chieftain!"

The middle-aged man who brought Tamura Hao in quickly bowed. The newcomers were none other than their clan chief and village chief, Uzumaki Masahiko.

Masahiko Uzumaki waved his hand, signaling him to leave, but his gaze never left the boy.

He had just heard the report, including the verbal exchange between the two sides at the village entrance, which revealed a great deal of information, but he still had doubts about the child's identity.

Moreover, my sister's letter didn't mention sending anyone from the Senju family.

"Seriously speaking, I should be considered part of the Tobirama lineage."

As he spoke, Tamura Hiroshi removed his mask and ran his hand through his hair.

His short, originally black hair turned white, and at the same time, he once again simulated Tobirama Senju's chakra.

Now that I have a head of white hair, I should make good use of it. I only made some changes using the transformation technique to hide my identity before.

This is a sophisticated application of the Transformation Technique. The initial Transformation Technique requires a complete change of the whole body, but if one has sufficient chakra control, one can perform a partial transformation, which not only consumes less energy but is also less likely to be detected.

For example, you can change only the visible face, while the clothes can be replaced with real ones.

"How do you possess Tobirama's chakra?"

Sensing that familiar chakra, Masahiko Uzumaki felt even more puzzled.

Everyone's chakra is different, not just because of its attribute, but also because of deeper reasons.

Even the chakra of fathers, sons, and brothers can be different. He was familiar with Tobirama Senju's chakra and would never be mistaken in his perception.

Who exactly is this person?
