Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 315 Five Kage Summit

"What? Lord Danzo stole the Nine-Tails' Yang form, and the Nine-Tails now possesses Lord Danzo's dark power? Even Ashura's chakra has appeared? What did Lord Danzo do with the Nine-Tails?"

Upon receiving the latest intelligence from Black Zetsu, Tamura Hao was completely bewildered. What the hell was going on?

"I didn't see it with my own eyes. I only heard that they were plotting to seize the Nine-Tails, so I went to Konoha and staked out outside Minato Namikaze's house to keep watch."

Uzumaki Kyu-san entered the house, and about four hours later Jiraiya hurriedly went in, then carried the unconscious Uzumaki Kyu-san out. He could vaguely sense Danzo's dark chakra and Ashura chakra within her body.

To avoid being discovered, I didn't get too close; that's all I found.

Blackie doesn't know much about this; the information sent back from the other side is so rudimentary that many things are uncertain.

"So, does that mean the new generation of Asura might be my brother-in-law?"

Tamura Hiroshi pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling that this was a lot of information.

Although Lord Danzo is not such an evil person, it is possible that the Sage of Six Paths is secretly influencing him.

Moreover, during the previous battle, he used Kaguya's Reincarnation Eye to see that Uzumaki Kyuujin was still a virgin, had not broken through to the next level with Namikaze Minato, and was not pregnant.

Now that Ashura's chakra has possessed him, there are only two possibilities: either Uzumaki Ninja saw how miserable Minato Namikaze was and offered to use Minato's cells to create an embryo for pregnancy, or Danzo made a contribution.

Regardless of the possibility, Ashura's chakra has already been reincarnated. Now it's just a matter of whether the newborn Naruto will have blond hair or black hair.

If he has black hair, then he really is his brother-in-law.

"A new generation of Indra and Asuras has emerged. Our time is running out. The final battle will break out in at most thirty years."

Black Zetsu solemnly reminded him that the appearance of the new generation of Ashura and Indra signified that Hagoromo had officially begun this game of chess.

Based on the growth rate of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, the new generation should reach their peak at the age of thirty, which means they only have thirty years left.

"Time isn't calculated that way."

Tamura Hao said quietly, "He doesn't know that there are really no thirty years. Those two cheaters were upgraded to the extreme when they were seventeen years old. Especially when they were blessed with Yin and Yang power, they were definitely at the Six Paths level."

In particular, Naruto Uzumaki gained the recognition of the nine tailed beasts, integrated their chakra into his body, becoming equivalent to a smaller version of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, and mastered all the bloodline powers of the tailed beasts.

"How so?"

Black Zetsu looked even more serious. Had his younger brother figured something out?

"In the information you gave me last time, Fugaku-kun's eldest son was said to have exceptional talent. At what age do you think he would awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan?"

When Tamura Hao mentioned Uchiha Itachi, he said that Black Zetsu needed to be properly guided in this regard, so that he could neither reveal his true nature of knowing the future nor give him enough warning.

Black Zetsu remained silent, as it was truly difficult to say for sure. After all, unlocking the Mangekyou Sharingan required not only talent and potential but also sufficient external opportunities, or rather, stimulation.

However, given Itachi Uchiha's talent, he should be able to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan before the age of twenty.

As for being the reincarnation of Indra, it must have been before the age of twenty.

The fusion of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan itself doesn't take very long, so if we calculate it that way...

"Less than twenty years?"

"But how will he handle Asura's side? The development of a physique requires years of arduous training; it can't be developed as quickly as the Kaleidoscope."

The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan can undergo rapid transformation through fusion, but physical cultivation is not so easy.

"There are too many existing conditions: Hashirama cells, tailed beast chakra, sage power—which one can't be developed faster? Not to mention the Sage of Six Paths hiding in the shadows. If he wants to seal my sister again, he will definitely use the power of Yin and Yang."

If he doesn't do it himself, then it will inevitably be passed on to the new generation of Indra and Ashura. With the stimulation of Yin and Yang power, they will soon reach the level of the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura's battle with his sister.

Therefore, the time left for us will only be shorter. The key moment lies in Indra awakening his kaleidoscope. Once he awakens his kaleidoscope, then it will be quick.

Tamura Hao gave a serious analysis, which made Black Zetsu's eyebrows twitch. Finally, he asked a question.

"Is there enough time?"

Both he and his mother had relatively average fighting talents, so if they wanted to fight against Hagoromo and Hamura, they would have to rely on their younger brother. Fusing a bloodline limit was the most basic requirement.

"Once the Thundercloud Ninja Kingdom is established, we should be able to begin fusing the bloodlines of the five elements."

Tamura Hao plans to fuse the five elemental bloodlines after the establishment of the Thundercloud Ninja Country. At that time, he will be able to maximize the activation of the World Immortal Tree and spread it throughout the Land of Lightning and the Land of Fire, thus absorbing more natural energy.

By connecting the World Tree and the Ten-Tails together, the power of Yin-Yang Release should be maximized, which would then facilitate the fusion of the five elemental bloodlines.

"The five-attribute bloodline is different from the previous fusion; it can contend with the ultimate Yin-Yang Release, and it will be very difficult to suppress it."

Black Zetsu solemnly reminded him that all he could do while his younger brother was fusing with his bloodline limit was to use the power of Yin-Yang Release to suppress the bloodline limit chakra and buy time for his brother to fuse. Ultimately, it depended on his younger brother himself.

"Although the risks are high, it has to be done."

Tamura Hao doesn't mind taking some risks, and many of his guesses need to be tested after fusing the five elemental bloodlines, including the transformation of the five elemental powers.

He had been trying to transform into a power like Yin and Yang, but he failed. He eventually guessed that it was because the quality of his chakra had not yet reached the required level.

Since four-attribute bloodline limits aren't enough, let's go for five-attribute bloodline limits.

The quality of the five-attribute bloodline formed by fusing the five major attributes of wind, thunder, earth, water, and fire is no less than that of Yin-Yang Release. The Sage of Six Paths and Hamura Otsutsuki were able to transform into Yin-Yang power by using Yin-Yang Release and Sage Mode, so I can definitely do it too.

Just then, Princess Kaguya suddenly emerged from the Origin Sphere and sat in Tamura Hiroshi's lap, pressing her cheek against his chest.

"I can have a child with you, and use the child's bloodline as a bridge to maximize the power of my Yin-Yang Release within you."

She has matured a lot during this time and understands the man's dedication and efforts, and she is willing to do the same.

Hearing his mother's bold idea, Black Zetsu's eyebrows twitched, but he ultimately said nothing.

His clone had always followed his mother, so he naturally knew that this mother was different from his original mother, and he developed feelings for this younger brother.

He didn't know what to say about his mother's situation; although he felt it was strange, it wasn't a big deal.

After all, the younger brother doesn't have the mother's bloodline, so there are no restrictions on loving each other, not to mention that the younger brother is so outstanding.

At worst, I'll stop calling him "brother" and start calling him "dad."

As long as Mom is happy.

"Um!"

He kissed the fair forehead of the beauty in his arms. Tamura Hao did not refuse this kindness; every little bit that could increase the success rate was worthwhile.

Tamura Hao remained at the front-line camp until the appointed time when everyone once again boarded Rasa's sandbag and flew to the Land of Iron to begin the Five Kage Summit.

"You brat, you've gone too far!"

Jiraiya, representing Konoha, gritted his teeth in anger the moment he saw a certain person; this kid was too ruthless.

"Judging from your expression, Minato is rejecting my offer again?"

Tamura Hiroshi, with a medical bandage covering his left eye, wore a disappointed expression, showing no surprise at Minato Namikaze's choice.

That's how magical bonds are; and if Minato Namikaze were to give in, he wouldn't be the Yellow Flash.

"You meant well?"

Jiraiya was even more displeased, but he also confirmed Minato's guess: this kid had indeed deliberately severed Minato's body and soul and taken them away, just to force Minato to submit, otherwise Minato would be crippled.

However, he believes that Minato will eventually pull through.

"Otherwise what? I could have killed him, but I only chose to cut him in half. I gave him two chances, but he didn't choose either. What am I supposed to do?"

Do you think that only you are right to kill and injure others, while anyone who hurts you is wrong?

"You're such a grown-up, why are you still so childish?"

As he spoke, he gave Jiraiya an undisguised look of disdain, which made Jiraiya so angry that his hair almost stood on end.

"Jiraiya!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was not far away, shouted, indicating that the Five Kage Summit was about to begin.

Jiraiya glared angrily at someone and strode into the meeting hall.

"It was actually his real body. It seems he did indeed have the Second Hokage's cells transplanted and mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique."

Tamura Hao glanced at the carpet where Hiruzen Sarutobi had walked and could clearly see the imprints, proving that it was the real body, not a shadow clone.

Black Zetsu was also monitoring Hiruzen Sarutobi's side, and knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi had always wanted to cultivate the Second Hokage's cells in order to master the Flying Thunder God Technique.

However, the number of second-generation cells remaining was too small, and there was a lack of sufficient technology, which slowed down the progress of the experiment.

The idea of ​​promoting this aspect was to send that bottle of water of life last time. Only by providing the Third Hokage with sufficient means of survival can he dare to risk everything to continue to sit firmly on the Hokage throne and continue to suppress the development of Konoha.

"Haojun's eyes are quite damaged. Do you need me to take a look?"

Orochimaru walked over slowly, curiously examining the person's left eye, which was covered by a medical bandage.

He had asked Minato before, and Minato said that Hao Jun had used a Mangekyou Sharingan technique, which slowed his reaction by half a beat, giving him the opportunity to severely injure him.

Moreover, judging from the bleeding in his left eye that day, the damage was quite significant.

He greatly admired this person, who had grown from the lowest physical aptitude to the pinnacle of the ninja world. Even if his path was a bit extreme, it was still a kind of power.

If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to do that.

Compared to that, Minato is far inferior.

"It's just a minor issue; there's no need for Lord Orochimaru to intervene."

Tamura Hao naturally wouldn't let Orochimaru examine his body, but he wasn't afraid of being discovered. Before coming, he had Black Zetsu use Yin-Yang Release to alter his left eye, making it appear as if he had forcibly used a dojutsu and suffered a backlash. Even if Orochimaru observed with his Byakugan, he wouldn't be able to see any flaws.

Orochimaru did indeed observe it with his Byakugan, because his body was the one with the Otsutsuki bloodline, which inherently possessed the Byakugan.

"The little guy you had your eye on that day died in battle, his body blown to bits."

After confirming the extent of the injury, Orochimaru brought up something.

After that day, he still valued Obito Uchiha quite a bit. Unfortunately, a few days ago, he accidentally fell into a trap and died while trying to rescue his captured teammates. In the end, he only brought back one leg.

That's such a pity.

Tamura Hao felt regretful upon hearing this, but he knew in his heart that it must have been Uchiha Madara who had orchestrated this. Right now, that Tsuchi-kun should be undergoing a transformation in Uchiha Madara's base.

Obito's natural talent might have been lacking, but after fusing with White Zetsu and Hashirama's cells, his bloodline underwent a transformation. As long as there was a sufficiently strong emotional stimulus, awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan would be a natural progression.

Furthermore, with both eyes intact, it would be even more unsolvable. If it were to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, it would be even more inhuman.

The fact that Obito Uchiha was able to awaken a space-time jutsu like Kamui proves that he has spatial talent and can learn the Flying Thunder God Technique.

When the Flying Thunder God Technique and Kamui are combined, it sounds incredibly powerful.

Next came the plan to kill Nohara Rin. That little girl was quite cute; it would be a shame if she died.

"Was Hao-jun's decision to severely injure Minato at such a cost ordered by Danzo?"

Orochimaru suddenly asked in a low voice, and even casually created an invisible soundproof barrier.

"Will Lord Orochimaru stop Lord Danzo?"

Tamura Hiroshi asked a question in return, which could be considered a tacit agreement.

"Of course not, I would love to see some new changes happen in the village and the ninja world."

With a smile playing on his lips, Orochimaru removed the barrier.

He just wanted to confirm some guesses. When Shimura Danzo suddenly came and took away the Nine-Tails from Uzumaki Kyuhou, he guessed that the old guy was definitely going to make a big move, and he was happy to see that.

Even if Shimura Danzo becomes Hokage, it would be better than letting that old guy continue to hold the position. At least Shimura Danzo now has greater strength.

Tamura Hao spoke with Orochimaru outside for a while, and not long after, the doors to the conference hall opened.

"Wow, that was fast!"

Orochimaru couldn't help but sigh. Jiraiya, that idiot, had told him about this before, and now that he was experiencing it firsthand, he realized just how fast it was.

"Our enemy is Konoha, not the strongest Hokage, so there's no need to make things difficult for him."

Tamura Hiroshi shrugged, indicating that they could distinguish right from wrong.

"The Strongest Hokage!"

Orochimaru chuckled softly, "It's truly pathetic that Naruto has turned out like this."

As before, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya left the Land of Iron immediately without lingering.

The Third Raikage and others stayed in the Land of Iron for a few days, and even ordered a batch of ninja tools there.

The Third Raikage and several other older members of the family gathered together for drinks and conversation, while Tamura Hao interacted with the younger generation, including Rasa, Kyoto, and Mei Terumi, the daughter of the Fourth Mizukage.

Although the girl was only thirteen years old, she was already a Jonin and had awakened two bloodline limits.

Mei Terumi would steal glances at someone from time to time, showing great curiosity about them.

"Are your eyes alright?"

Looking at the person's left eye wrapped in medical bandages, Luo Sha was quite surprised and also wary of this person who could suddenly severely injure Namikaze Minato.

"It's not a big problem, you'll be fine after some rest."

Tamura Hiroshi shook his head, then took out three small bottles.

"This was agreed upon before. Minato Namikaze has once again refused our offer. You should take these three pieces of flesh back to a sensory ninja with both Yin and Yang attributes to transplant them into, so that you can sense his Flying Thunder God Technique and thus defend against it."

However, this only applies to the Flying Thunder God Technique; his eye technique transcends the limitations of mere techniques.

That was the flesh and blood of Minato Namikaze. The reason for giving it away was to boost the confidence of the three great ninja villages. After all, they had suffered considerable losses this time. To maintain the alliance of the four villages and ensure their cooperation in the next Shinobi World War, this was a must.

"I told you before, Minato Namikaze would never leave Konoha."

Huang Tu picked up a bottle, reflecting on Minato Namikaze's achievements and his current fate.

"At least we're not so passive anymore."

Luo Sha also picked up a bottle, looked at the chunks of meat soaking in the nutrient solution inside, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Minato Namikaze has always been a dagger hanging over their heads, and they fear that one day he might suddenly use the Flying Thunder God Technique to deliver a Tailed Beast Ball to their village.

Now that we have this piece of flesh, after transplantation, we can sense the other party's Flying Thunder God Technique. As long as we prevent the Flying Thunder God Technique from entering the village, there won't be any problems.

"Hao-jun visited the Land of Bears and the Land of Demons before?"

Luo Sha suddenly brought up something. He had received information that this person had appeared in the Land of Bears and the Land of Demons.

Upon hearing about these two countries, Huang Tu immediately became alert, as those two countries were adjacent to their own Tu Kingdom.

Tamura Hao glanced at Rasa and said, "It was the priestess of the Land of Demons who entrusted us to help destroy the demons that they had sealed away for generations, as well as a mysterious organization that wanted to unseal the demons to gain power. In the end, the priestess, like her predecessors, sacrificed herself to completely seal the demons."

"We went to the Land of Bears because of the Star Ninja Village. That girl, Natsumi Hoshino, comes from the Star Ninja Village. Since our Cloud Ninja Village has an exchange program, we invited some of their children to our village's ninja academy for an exchange program."

He did not hide this fact. He, Tamura Hiroshi, has always been upright and honest in his dealings and has never done anything shady. He can withstand any investigation.

This is also the main reason why he always lets the Ten-Tails devour the corpse and soul of the victim every time he kills someone, so that even if he uses the Impure World Reincarnation, he will never be able to find the victim or the eyewitness.

"I heard that your Hidden Cloud Village's ninja academy is divided into several, with some higher-level academies."

Mei Terumi couldn't help but ask. Kirigakure had always kept an eye on Kumogakure and even had frequent exchanges with them. She was very curious about Kumogakure.

Loess and sand were also very curious about this.

"It was proposed by Lord Tsuchidai. He believed that the ninja academies taught too little in the past, which made it difficult to promote the lifelong training and improvement of ninjas. On this basis, he took the lead in establishing the Junior Ninja Academy, the Intermediate Ninja Academy, and the Senior Ninja Academy, each of which is a six-year program."

The former ninja academy was renamed Ninja Elementary School, and the curriculum was further subdivided...

Tamura Hiroshi remained very candid, recounting the details of the matter in detail, which was hardly a secret.

"Can I go to your Hidden Cloud Village's Ninja Academy for an exchange program?"

After hearing this, Mei Terumi became even more interested and really wanted to visit Kumogakure.

"Our Hidden Cloud Village welcomes anyone with good intentions to come and exchange ideas and learn from us."

Tamura Hao would not refuse, but in his heart he was thinking that Lord Danzo should be making a move against Kirigakure soon.

There was no other reason than that there was still a tailed beast in Kirigakure, and the Land of Water was located overseas, in a remote and isolated environment, making it even more difficult for news to get out after something happened.

After destroying Kirigakure, Konoha and the Land of Fire will only need to face the north and west, and will no longer be attacked from both sides, which will make things much easier.

"That's settled then. I'll go to Kumogakure with you this time."

Mei Terumi was very happy. After making preparations, she told her father and then went to Kumogakure.

She was already tired of staying in Kirigakure, so she decided to go and have some fun in Kumogakure.

Luo Sha and Huang Tu were pondering whether they should also send a team over to exchange and learn from each other.

During the last Shinobi World War, the individual combat strength of the ninja from Kumogakure was the strongest among the four major ninja villages, especially in taijutsu and swordsmanship.

The gap was even greater in this Ninja World War, all of which demonstrates the strength of the Hidden Cloud Village's educational system. It would be good to send someone there to learn from their experience.
