Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

"You graduated at ten, and you already had a girlfriend at such a young age?"

Sarah was shocked. Was this bad guy so precocious?

"He started writing those erotic masterpieces when he was five or six years old, so what if he has a girlfriend?"

Tsunade sneered. This brat is quite the pervert. Even Jiraiya, that pervert, pales in comparison.

"How did you guess that, Tsunade-neechan?"

Tamura Hiroshi was puzzled and couldn't understand where the oversight had gone.

"It's nothing much, it's just that the village and Konoha, especially Danzo Shimura, seem to have a pretty good working relationship."

They can claim to the outside world that it was Uncle Tsuchida's timely planning, but we all know how much of his claim to be the wisest ninja in the world is unfounded.

Tsunade answered casually. She had too much information to use here, and when she put it all together, it felt a bit strange, so she made a bold guess.

"There is some tacit understanding between them."

Tamura Hiroshi understood; their cooperation was indeed quite seamless. What could be hidden from outsiders could never be hidden from their own people.

However, it's not a big problem. Danzo and Konoha's schemes are secondary. As long as the Black Zetsu and Kaguya storyline remains unexposed, everything will be fine.

In a few years, Lord Danzo will finish his mission. Once he dies, he can then take over the Root's legacy with the help of Nono, and that will be the end of it.

"You big liar!"

Kushina was still fuming; he was a big liar.

I lied to myself and my grandfather back then, but now I realize I've lied to them even more deeply.

That's outrageous!

"You must have other things on your mind, like Red Moon."

Uchiha Chiri said something that steered the conversation toward Kaguya, who had been watching the drama unfold.

All the women turned to look. They weren't blind; they could see Kaguya's special nature and that the guy's relationship with her seemed strange, definitely not as simple as he had previously claimed.

"You are too weak."

This time, Tamura Hiroshi's expression turned serious. There are some things that can be said, and some things that absolutely cannot be said in advance, so as to eliminate any possibility of exposure.

"I'll surpass you sooner or later!"

Mikoto Uchiha said angrily, but did not ask any further questions.

She can distinguish between different situations and knows how to act appropriately.

Although the women were curious, they could only give up.

Not long after, the boys returned home from school in groups. After having a big family reunion dinner, Tamura Hao spent another shameless night with his wives, especially sending Kushina, who was in the worst mood, to the Western Paradise three times before finally calming down this fiery hot pepper.

Early the next morning, Tamura Hao led the three women to the Raikage Building, while Kaguya and Black Zetsu naturally went into the Origin Sphere to watch the show.

The earth platform has already selected its candidates, including Yazuki Ai and Fukai.

"Didn't the light come?"

Seeing that Uchiha Hikaru wasn't there, Yozuki Ai couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, as she had thought she could reunite the original team.

"She has lost interest in Konoha."

Tamura Hao shrugged. He couldn't make decisions for his wife, who had always been very opinionated.

"If you're going to leave, then leave now and don't disturb my work."

Tu Tai, who was engrossed in his work at his desk, waved his hand without looking up, signaling to leave quickly so as not to get in the way.

Without delay, everyone arrived at the rooftop of the Raikage Building. Tamura Hao used a light-escape shield to envelop everyone and then used the Heavenly Delivery Technique to transform into a silver beam that shot southward.

The speed of the Heavenly Delivery Technique is very fast, especially the Light Release version by Tamura Hao, which arrived at the gates of New Konoha in the blink of an eye.

"Cloud Ninja!"

The Konoha ninja guarding the gate were startled when they saw the headband patterns and quickly contacted the Hokage Building.

Before they could make contact, a golden light flashed and appeared at the entrance; it was Minato Namikaze.

"Minato-kun, it's been a long time!"

Tamura Hiroshi stepped forward and gave Namikaze Minato a bear hug, and punched him a few times with great force, making a loud thud.

After confirming it was someone, Minato Namikaze's face almost turned black.

"What are you doing here?"

Although I was touched by his sincere invitation, he was, after all, an enemy, and I had been cut in half at the waist. It was only two years ago that I was able to regenerate my lower body and soul.

It was all thanks to that immortal talisman back then, otherwise I would have been crippled.

"I heard that Konoha is going to hold the Chunin Exams, so I came to check it out. By the way, your new Konoha looks much smaller than before, and there's no Hokage Cliff anymore. It feels a bit strange..."

As Tamura Hao forcibly put his arm around Minato Namikaze's shoulder and walked into the village, he made comments about Konoha.

"Isn't this all thanks to you?"

Minato Namikaze said irritably that the reason why Konoha had ended up in this state was due to the self-destructive behavior of its own people, with Kumogakure bearing the brunt of the blame.

"That's not right. Konoha was destroyed by Nagato, it has little to do with our Kumogakure."

Tamura Hao decisively refuted, while Yotsuki Ai and the others happily followed behind into Konoha.

The Konoha Chunin at the entrance all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Minato Namikaze step forward. They really didn't want to deal with the people from Kumogakure, especially since the leaders were the same ones.

Many sensory ninjas in Konoha noticed the anomaly and panicked after confirming that it was someone from Kumogakure. Even someone as strong as Hiashi Hyuga was extremely wary and hurriedly ordered all his clansmen to return to their clan territory.

"Why are you here again?"

Jiraiya walked over wearing a large yukata, glaring at someone with annoyance.

"Kushina misses the Nine-Han, and we also wanted to see how Konoha has recovered over the years, so we took this opportunity to come and see."

We brought ten squads of junior ninjas who just graduated from ninja elementary school to participate in your Chunin Exams. You won't be unhappy with that, will you?

Tamura Hao stated his purpose very frankly, which made him appear very honest.

"If I say you're not welcome, can you leave immediately?"

Jiraiya didn't welcome this kid at all; every time he came over, nothing good ever came of it.

"cannot!"

Tamura Hiroshi answered resolutely, without the slightest hesitation.

"Then why did you ask!"

Jiraiya rolled his eyes at them, then nodded to Yotsuki Ai and Fukai.

Although they were enemies, he admired the fair and square fighting style of the Hidden Cloud Village on the battlefield, which suited his taste. He had fought against Yotsuki Ai and Fukai quite a few times on the battlefield before.

As for the grudges from back then, he had to let them go.

The group chatted as they walked and soon arrived at the new Hokage Building. Tamura Hao handed over his application to participate in the Chunin Exams to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"We welcome the Hidden Cloud Village to participate in the Chunin Exams held by our Leaf Village."

"Shuimen, you arrange their accommodations."

After reading the application, Hiruzen Sarutobi gave the person a deep look and then welcomed them.

Regardless of what the purpose of the Hidden Cloud Village's sending of people this time is, he cannot refuse, and he can also take this opportunity to observe the improvement in the strength of these people.

"No need, we've already made an appointment with Mr. Fugaku. We'll stay at their place after we arrive, just like I did last time."

Tamura Hao said that he had already arranged accommodations with the Uchiha clan, which made Hiruzen Sarutobi's face twitch slightly.

Do you really think I don't know that you're the one who gouged out someone's eyeballs twice?

"You can stay, but don't cause trouble."

Jiraiya glanced at his teacher, then turned and gave him a warning.

I knew this kid had no good intentions coming here.

"I just came to see some acquaintances and catch up. I used to be very close to Mr. Fugaku."

Tamura Hiroshi expressed his innocence.

"You said it yourself, that was in the past."

Jiraiya said irritably, he was 100% sure this kid was here to cause trouble, but there was nothing he could do to stop him, he could only hope it wouldn't get too big of a deal.

"Minato, take them to the Uchiha clan's territory."

Hiruzen Sarutobi had no reason to stop it either, so he could only choose to ignore it.

Please come with me.

After receiving the order, Minato Namikaze gestured for Tamura Hiroshi and the others to follow, and led Hyuga Neji and the others, who were waiting in the hall below, to the Uchiha clan's territory.

He will keep a close watch on these people to prevent them from causing any trouble.

"Senior Hao, I want to move to the Hyuga clan's area."

After leaving the Hokage Building, Hyuga Neji suggested going to the Hyuga clan's territory, something his father had instructed him to do the previous night.

"Minato-kun, are you alright?"

Tamura Hao then turned to look at Namikaze Minato; after all, this was Konoha, and he had to greet him.

"Is this Mr. Hizashi's child from back then?"

Minato Namikaze then took a closer look at the young man before him. He had read the intelligence about Hyuga Hizashi back then and knew that Hyuga Hizashi's change was most likely because his wife was pregnant and he did not want his child to suffer the same fate, so he secretly joined forces with Kumogakure to break away from his clan.

Judging from the child's appearance and age, he is most likely the same child from back then.

"His name is Neji. He is the eldest son of Hizashi-sensei. He was conceived in Konoha, so he can be considered a Konoha person."

Tamura Hao nodded. Hyuga Neji was born much earlier than in the original story, probably because Hyuga Hizashi got married earlier.

"Since you are Mr. Hizashi's child, you should indeed go to the Hyuga clan. Do you need me to show you the way?"

Minato Namikaze nodded. It was perfectly fine for the child to go to the Hyuga clan, after all, they had an uncle there.

Even though things turned sour back then, so many years have passed.

"No need, I can sense the power of the Byakugan."

Hyuga Neji looked in a certain direction. As soon as he arrived in Konoha, he sensed the power of the Byakugan. There were many Byakugan gathered in that direction, which should be the Hyuga clan.

"Dad, I also want to live in the Hyuga clan's territory."

Kimimaro then spoke, looking at his father, Yotsuki Ai.

His mother told him that the Hyuga clan and the Kaguya clan had always been on good terms and were even related by blood. Since Neji was going to the Hyuga clan's territory, he also wanted to go and take a look.

Go!

Yozuki Ai did not refuse, and immediately turned to explain to Namikaze Minato, "Kimimaro's mother came from the former Kaguya clan."

"The Kaguya clan!"

Minato Namikaze was aware of the situation; he had heard about the relationship between the Kaguya and Hyuga clans.

After the two left, the group continued on their way and soon arrived at the Uchiha clan's territory.

Upon receiving the news, Fugaku Uchiha personally went to the entrance of the clan's territory to wait. When he saw that it was indeed someone leading the team, his face darkened.

That guy stole my eyes twice, leaving me with a three-tomoe Sharingan.

"Fugaku-kun, it's been a long time. We've come to participate in the Chunin Exams held by Konoha, and we'll need to stay with your Uchiha clan for a while. I'm sure Fugaku-kun won't mind."

Tamura Hiroshi stepped forward and gave Uchiha Fugaku a warm hug, then asked to stay at his place.

"I want to say that I mind it very much."

Fugaku Uchiha was very unhappy. The last time this guy came to the Uchiha clan, his fiancée went to Kumogakure, making him the laughingstock of the entire clan and village.

Although it was Mikoto's choice for the sake of her family, and also because of the rumors spread by Hiruzen Sarutobi and others, she still had a knot in her heart.

"Don't be so petty. I only gouged out your eyes twice, and look, you have your eyes back now."

Tamura Hao put his arm around Uchiha Fugaku's shoulder and forced his way into the Uchiha clan's territory while chatting with him.

Upon hearing those words, Fugaku Uchiha couldn't help but have three tomoe appear in his eyes.

That's a kaleidoscope, is it something to be stingy about?

"He's still as shameless as ever."

Seeing that Fugaku Uchiha was indeed unaware of the situation, Minato Namikaze couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

Although Haojun is sincere most of the time, he can also be despicable and shameless at times.

"Everyone has flaws, that's normal. For example, Minato-kun, you accepted Hao's gift of a whole set of yellow-themed masterpieces to study back then."

Yozuki Ai grinned, causing Namikaze Minato's face to twitch.

"He forced it on me!"

He quickly corrected himself, saying that it was that guy who forced it on him back then, and if he had known it was something like that, Minato Namikaze would never have accepted it.

"We're all adults, there's nothing to hide. I've been watching all along, and I even discuss it with my wives."

Ye Yue Ai spoke with the air of someone who had been through it all. That stuff was indeed bad for minors, but for adults like them, it was simply a teaching material. Not only did he read it himself, but his three wives at home also read it, and they would even discuss and study it together.

There's no need for couples to be so serious; there needs to be some romance and smooth sailing.

"Master Jiuchongtian's recently published novel, 'The Empress of Female Ninja Rules,' is very well written. The content is quite taboo. If you don't have it, Minato-kun, I'll give you this copy."

Fukai even took out a thick book, which he had been reading for nine days and ten nights straight and was deeply moved by.

Bai, who was behind, covered his face when he saw his father's posture. He really didn't want to admit that it was his own father.

The ten teams of Cloud Ninja boys and girls following behind also lowered their heads, feeling very ashamed.

Kurenai Yuhi and Kushina Uzumaki even gave them disdainful looks.

Leaving aside the group's accommodation at the Uchiha clan's place, on the other side, Hyuga Neji, along with Yotsuki Kimimaro, followed their senses and went straight to the Hyuga clan's territory.

"Give this to your patriarch and tell him that Hyuga Neji, son of Hyuga Hizashi, has come to visit."

Hyuga Neji handed the visiting card his father had written the night before to the old man guarding the entrance to the Hyuga clan compound.

"You are the son of the head of the Hizashi family!"

The old man was shocked, followed by delight.

"Come, I'll take you to see the head of the family."

The old man was very hospitable. He accepted the visiting card and led the two into the clan's territory.

Although the incident caused quite a stir back then, so many years have passed that it has largely faded away.

As the old man walked, he took the initiative to chat with Hyuga Neji, mostly talking about the changes in his family over the years.

The main change is that only the head of the main family remains; the rest of the main family members mysteriously disappeared during the Second Shinobi World War, their whereabouts unknown.

With less pressure from the main family, the internal relationships within the family have actually improved considerably.

Of course, the head of the family's will remains inviolable; otherwise, he will be severely punished.

Not long after, the two were taken to Hiashi Hyuga, who was teaching his two daughters Gentle Fist.

Although the second daughter, Hyuga Hanabi, is young, she has shown great talent and was able to fight Hinata Hyuga to a draw.

The old man stepped forward and whispered something, then presented the visiting card.

Looking at the familiar handwriting on the visiting card, Hyuga Hiashi's expression was complicated.

He had long since come to terms with what happened back then. Neither he nor Hizashi made the wrong choices; they simply had different philosophies.

"Hinata! Hanabi! That's enough for today's training. Come to the main hall in a bit!"

After glancing at Hyuga Neji and his companion, Hyuga Hiashi said something to his two daughters who were sparring, then got up and walked outside.

Hinata and her sister curiously observed the two strangers, especially Neji Hyuga's Byakugan, which piqued their curiosity.

I've never seen this person before.

Looking at his two cousins, a smile involuntarily appeared on Hyuga Neji's usually cold face.

"My name is Hyuga Neji, and I'm your cousin. I'll be staying here for the next few days, so feel free to come visit me anytime."

After saying a few gentle words, Hyuga Neji left with Kimimaro, who maintained his aloof and god-like demeanor, and followed Hyuga Hiashi to the hall.

Hinata and her sister Hinata were even more curious, so they quickly took a bath, changed their clothes, and came to the hall, where they knelt down behind their father.

"How is your father doing?"

After the tea was brewed, Hyuga Hiashi finally spoke.

"He was doing very well. His mother arranged two wives for him, and he gave me thirty-three younger brothers and sisters."

Hyuga Neji replied, indicating that his father was living a very comfortable life, but Hyuga Hiashi almost couldn't keep his serious expression.

So all you've been doing all these years in Kumogakure has been making babies?

"Where are the tribesmen?"

After taking a sip of tea to suppress his frustration, Hyuga Hiashi asked about the clansmen from the past.

"The clansmen are all doing well and have completely integrated into Kumogakure. The population exceeded 10,000 six months ago, and 3,163 of them have awakened the Byakugan."

Neji Hyuga still didn't hide it. Although they didn't have a clan there, his father had always been concerned about the lives of the clan members.

Their tribe places greater emphasis on bloodline continuity, and both men and women try to reproduce as much as possible to increase the tribe's population.

Those two numbers silenced Hiashi Hyuga. Compared to his own situation, there was simply no comparison.

He now understood that Hizashi had sent this kid over to show off, absolutely.

"Having had so many children, I wonder how well he's raised you?"

Hiashi Hyuga opened his Reincarnation Eye and scrutinized his nephew before him, clearly displeased.

"Fortunately, I have already awakened the Tenseigan, and my four younger siblings are showing signs of awakening as well."

Neji Hyuga activated his Tenseigan and stared at Hiashi Hyuga's Tenseigan. The main body of Neji's Tenseigan was purple, with a faint blue hue in the central area.

This is the Tenseigan that he was guided to awaken, the eye he obtained after fully activating his bloodline potential. It is also an evolved form of the Byakugan, possessing immense power.

Furthermore, because it was awakened and transformed from within, it is a more perfect match than external eyes like those of Hiashi Hyuga and the Otsutsuki Rei, allowing control over every bit of the eye power within.

Hiashi Hyuga was silenced once again. He hadn't expected that his nephew would also possess the Tenseigan, and judging from the looks of it, he was about to advance again, with his own blue Tenseigan coming next.

Furthermore, his words just now indicated that four of his younger siblings were also showing signs of awakening the Tenseigan. Is the Tenseigan about to become rampant in Kumogakure? (End of Chapter)
