Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 33 A Bountiful Harvest

After hearing Masahiko Uzumaki's words, Hiroshi Tamura was moved, very moved.

Judging from the other party's words, the Yang Seal is a sealing technique with the same function as the Yin Seal, capable of storing chakra, which is exactly what I currently lack.

Although his talent for chakra quantity is impressive, his refining speed is not slow. He can continuously refine chakra in small amounts outside of combat, storing it up to unleash during battle. In this way, he can make up for his biggest weakness to some extent.

And judging from the old man's appearance, the Yang Seal should be something that someone with his level of chakra could use, making it more suitable for him.

However, to obtain this Yang Seal, one obviously needs to offer something that interests the other party. What do I have that would interest them?

Making a conflicted expression, Tamura Hao finally gritted his teeth and said, "I can give you the cultivation method of the Uzumaki clan's Sage Techniques. Although it is not as powerful as Hashirama's, it can still increase your strength several times over."

However, you need to temporarily hand over all the classic texts and resources of the Hidden Tide Village to me. We will make a copy of all the texts.

The problems in this war in the Land of Whirlpools are far greater than you imagine; the chances of Uzushiogakure being able to hold out are less than 10%.

"Hold those things to us for now; we will use them to rebuild the Uzumaki clan as soon as possible."

Masahiko Uzumaki remained silent for a long while before speaking.

Do you even know how to write the word "shameless"?

I have never seen such a shameless person in my life. "Trying to get something for nothing" is not even an adequate description of your methods.

"With Grandma Mito here, do you think I'm afraid I'll embezzle your wealth? If it weren't for the fact that the Uzumaki clan and we've been related by marriage for generations, do you think I would have risked coming here?"

Tamura Hiroshi rolled his eyes at him without backing down and brought up the name of Uzumaki Mito.

Now that my identity as a direct descendant of the Thousand Hands family has been confirmed, I should naturally make good use of it.

These words made Uzumaki Masahiko fall into deep thought. Although the boy's words were shameless, with his sister in the Senju clan, he figured the boy wouldn't dare to cheat them.

"Is there any hidden story behind the battle in the Land of Whirlpools?"

I asked him a question, and I sensed that there was something more to his words.

With a serious and solemn expression, Tamura Hao earnestly deceived him, saying, "Uchiha Madara is not dead. The perfect Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is the only existence that can make him wary."

He didn't say much, only mentioning the name of Uchiha Madara, leaving the rest for you to figure out.

For an old man who survived from the Warring States period, the name of Uchiha Madara is definitely not intimidating.

As expected, Masahiko Uzumaki's expression changed drastically upon hearing the name of Madara Uchiha.

This is really bad news!

With his brother-in-law gone, Madara Uchiha is now synonymous with invincibility, and it seems that Uzumaki Village is truly doomed this time.

"You wait here!"

After pondering for a while with an uncertain expression, Masahiko Uzumaki said something and quickly left.

Tamura Hao breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the Grim Reaper masks here. After thinking for a moment, he took out a sealing scroll from his backpack and took all the Grim Reaper masks off, packed them together and sealed them away.

He prepared many of these blank sealing scrolls, originally intended for scavenging corpses on the battlefield, but also for sealing other things.

Unfortunately, the sealing techniques in its own armor plates are not high enough to stack and seal the sealing scrolls. Otherwise, it could infinitely fill the sealing scrolls, making itself a mobile arsenal.

Not long after, Masahiko Uzumaki returned carrying two huge sealed scrolls. He couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eye when he saw the empty shelves.

"Take him and get out of here!"

He tossed two huge sealed scrolls from behind his back to the boy, and Masahiko Uzumaki gestured for him to get lost.

I get annoyed just looking at you!

"Is this the person you chose? They don't seem very bright."

Tamura Hiroshi carried the two huge sealed scrolls on his back and looked at the big loli behind Uzumaki Masahiko.

The little girl's eyes were red, and her gaze was filled with reluctance.

"You're the idiot!"

The little girl, who had initially felt reluctant to part with him, became angry and glared resentfully at the white-haired creature.

"He's definitely not very smart!"

Tamura Hao sighed, stepped forward, and under Uzumaki Masahiko's gaze, suddenly knocked the big loli unconscious with a chop to the neck, hoisted her onto his shoulder, and casually brushed her hair, transforming into a black slicked-back hairstyle with a transformation technique.

"I'm taking her with me. I hope to see you in Konoha, otherwise this girl and Grandma Mito will be heartbroken for a long time."

With a wave of his hand, Tamura Hiroshi walked out decisively, leaving behind a furrowed brow and bulging veins on his forehead.

"Hopefully we can pull through!"

Finally, Masahiko Uzumaki sighed, his heart filled with worry.

The ninja armies of the four major ninja villages alone are difficult to deal with. If you add Uchiha Madara, who is hiding in the shadows, there is really no hope. Otherwise, he would not have agreed to such an outrageous request to pack up the clan's foundation and let him take it away. At least it would leave the clan with a way out.

The three Cloud Ninja ANBU who had been squatting outside were even more confused when they saw Tamura Hao carrying two large scrolls and a girl walking out. They didn't understand what had happened inside.

"Walk!"

After saying a few words, Tamura Hiroshi strode forward, and the three ANBU members could only follow quickly.

Leaving aside Tamura Hao's enormous harvest on this side, on the other side of the earthen platform, he met the Great Elder of the Whirlpool.

"Young man, which family are you from?"

As Aloe Vera sized up the young man before him, he could only be certain that the other party was unlikely to be from Konoha. Otherwise, he would have gone to see the clan leader instead of him, the old man who disliked Konoha the most.

"This junior is the Raikage of Kumogakure assisting Tsuchida. This is the battle plan for our four great ninja villages to jointly attack Uzushiogakure. Please take a look, senior."

Tu Tai adopted a very humble posture and handed over a scroll that he had prepared beforehand.

The four major ninja villages had long been in secret contact regarding the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan. Although they had not formed an alliance, they had an agreement not to interfere with each other. What they could obtain from the Uzumaki clan this time depended entirely on their own methods.

In response, they came up with a rough joint operation plan, which is the scroll that has now been taken out.

These words surprised Aloe Vera, who then took the scroll and unfolded it, her face instantly darkening.

Are you threatening me?

Staring sharply at the young man before her, Aloe Vera perceived him as a threat.

Don't think that we, the Uzumaki clan, are afraid of your four great ninja villages.

"It's not a threat, but a sincere invitation for the Uzumaki clan to join our Hidden Cloud Village, and this invitation has always been effective."

Tsuchida's face was full of sincerity, and indeed he was very sincere. He genuinely wanted to invite the Uzumaki clan to join their Hidden Cloud Village and become a member of the village.

Whether it's the plan to create Jinchuriki from Tailed Beasts or the research and mass production of firearms, the assistance of the Uzumaki clan is needed for rapid development.

Whirlpool Aloe stared at the earthen platform for a while before her expression softened, and then her gaze returned to the scroll in her hand.

"Your Hidden Cloud Village doesn't seem to be our best option."

After calming down, he wanted to see how much sincerity this junior and the Hidden Cloud Village still had.

This secret joint operation plan of the four major ninja villages is a decent expression of sincerity, but it's not enough.

After all, what Kumogakure wanted was the Uzumaki clan, not some sealing technique.

It's not that we can't talk about it, but we need to be more sincere.
