Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

"Obito, what happened? Why is your eye bleeding? Did Nagato's Chibaku Tensei damage your eye technique dimension?"

Back at the base, Black Zetsu hurriedly inquired with concern, even sounding somewhat anxious.

After all, this is a key piece, and showing eagerness is in line with his public persona.

"It's nothing, just from overusing my eyes. There are still some interstitial cells, so it will recover after a while."

Obito Uchiha recreated a mask using Wood Release and put it on, indifferently indicating that it was all a minor issue.

"That's good!"

Black Zetsu appeared relieved, and then began to talk about the Otsutsuki father and son, who had been taken away by Obito Uchiha.

"What do you plan to do with those three eyes? Without the corresponding constitution, it might be impossible to control them."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

With his crimson three-tomoe Sharingan fixed on Zetsu, Obito Uchiha clearly expressed his dissatisfaction, his powerful eye energy surging within.

"You should rest well during this time. I'll handle Nagato's situation."

Seeing Obito Uchiha's anger, Black Zetsu knew better than to ask any more questions. He disappeared into the ground, his mind preoccupied with the matter of Obito's eyes.

They had many objectives for this plan. One was to seize Hamura's Tenseigan and the relics of Otsutsuki and his son, as well as the Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan. Another objective was to confirm Obito Uchiha's identity.

Previously, they only stole Obito Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan by absorbing the eye technique space. Theoretically speaking, with Obito Uchiha's aptitude, he could awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan a second time. At that time, it would depend on what kind of eye technique it would be.

If Kamui still possesses his own eye technique space, then some things can be confirmed.

Putting aside Black Zetsu's thoughts, Obito Uchiha was feeling somewhat panicked at this moment.

Kamui was his greatest asset. If he lost Kamui, his strength would be reduced by at least 70%, and he wouldn't even dare to stand in front of Nagato Uzumaki anymore.

Even Black Zetsu needs to be guarded against. He was left behind by Madara Uchiha to keep him in check. It was fine before with Kamui, but now that Kamui is gone, it's as if he's lost his usefulness and might be abandoned.

Once abandoned and targeted, it will be impossible to create that world that includes Rin.

What should I do?

Just as he was feeling panicked and anxious, his eyes suddenly regained their senses. His previously unresponsive pupil technique became active again, though it was very blurry, as if it had been injured and could not be activated.

"It's good that it's still there!"

That feeling excited Obito Uchiha, but at the same time, it also made him breathe a sigh of relief.

He was genuinely worried about permanently losing his divine power, which would render him useless, and even acquiring a pair of kaleidoscopes wouldn't be of much use.

Kamui is the most unique and unsolvable kaleidoscope. As long as one possesses Kamui, one can be invincible and dare to face anyone.

"Is this emotional fluctuation a sign that Kamui has recovered?"

Hidden in the shadows, Black Zetsu sensed Obito Uchiha's emotional changes and formed a guess in his mind.

"So, I was just a pawn in your game, Hagoromo!"

He muttered to himself, Black Zetsu having already made up his mind.

At the same time, Tamura Hao's shadow clone, carrying his consciousness, arrived at the Origin Sphere. At this moment, Kaguya, the Ten-Tails, and Black Zetsu were doing their best to suppress Otsutsuki Hamura's golden Tenseigan, eventually disintegrating it. The imprint of Otsutsuki Hamura's will within it became nourishment for the Ten-Tails.

A fully grown Ten-Tails can devour anything, even the Otsutsuki.

Back then, Kaguya Otsutsuki used the Ten-Tails to devour a portion of Isshiki Otsutsuki's remaining body, which allowed her to transform into the Divine Tree and eventually bear fruit.

Hamura Otsutsuki was naturally unable to withstand the devouring power of the Ten-Tails, let alone just one eye.

The power of the Tenseigan was guided by Kaguya and merged into Toneri Otsutsuki's body. Even the Otsutsuki relic was devoured and decomposed by the Ten-Tails, turning into pure power that merged into Toneri Otsutsuki's body. Furthermore, Kaguya injected her own enormous life force to assist Toneri Otsutsuki's body in further transformation.

The quality of the offering determines the level of the Ten-Tails' transformation, so the higher the level, the better.

Otsutsuki Toneri possesses an extraordinary chakra. As the biological son of Otsutsuki Hamura, his chakra is no less powerful than that of Indra and Ashura, and he has exceptional potential.

Once developed, it would be enough to reach a level infinitely close to that of existence.

Now, with Otsutsuki Hamura's eye, Otsutsuki Toneri can undergo a further transformation and improvement.

With the power and adjustments provided by Kaguya and the Ten-Tails, it's only a matter of time before they transform into true Otsutsuki.

Tamura Hao watched quietly from the side. After an unknown amount of time, Otsutsuki Toneri's body finally changed. A bony horn grew from between his eyebrows, and his long blue-white hair turned pure white. This was the mark of a true Otsutsuki.

Even Otsutsuki Toneri could only temporarily manifest a horn when he activated the Tenseigan Chakra Mode and unleashed his bloodline potential; now, however, it was a complete transformation.

The Tenseigan, which was originally blue, has now turned into a pure golden yellow, reaching the same level as Hamura Otsutsuki back then.

That wasn't all. Tamura Hiroshi stepped forward and placed his palm on Otsutsuki Toneri's chest, injecting his own Yin-Yang and Five Elements power to form a Yin-Yang and Five Elements diagram that merged into Otsutsuki Toneri's body, driving further transformation of his body.

Princess Kaguya controlled Otsutsuki Toneri's body, activating the Tenseigan chakra mode and actively fusing with that Yin-Yang and Five Elements power.

This is a perfect fusion of Sage Mode and Chakra, which can further drive the evolution of the body.

Meanwhile, Otsutsuki Toneri's consciousness was completely suppressed by Kaguya's eye power, leaving him unable to resist and only able to watch helplessly as his body was continuously modified by her.

This is definitely not a good thing. He has already recognized the woman's identity, which is exactly the same as the one recorded in the ancient books. And that Ten-Tails is the real Ten-Tails, far superior to the incomplete Ten-Tails created by his father.

He wanted to rebel, he couldn't die, he wanted to destroy the wrong ninja world and create a new era, how could he die here?

No matter how unwilling he was to face the combined power of Princess Kaguya and the Ten-Tails, he was still powerless to resist.

After an unknown amount of time, Otsutsuki Toneri's body perfectly fused with Tamura Hiroshi's Yin-Yang and Five Elements power. With the guidance of the golden Tenseigan and the blessing of the Otsutsuki bloodline, he finally obtained the Kekkei Kyoukai, allowing his body to undergo a complete transformation.

This was exactly what Princess Kaguya and Tamura Hao wanted. The Ten-Tails, which had been waiting impatiently, swallowed and digested the transformed Otsutsuki Toneri in one gulp.

It inherently possesses the characteristic of sacrifice, so it is refined very quickly. The small ten-tailed fox, which had already accumulated enough, finally broke through its limit and reached a completely new form.

It is a colossal creature resembling a rabbit, the very same Jade Rabbit form created by Kaguya Otsutsuki, capable of propelling the Eye of the Moon to a higher level, reaching the Nine-Tomoe level.

Princess Kaguya, who fused with the Ten-Tails, also underwent a transformation. The six-tomoe Rinnegan between her eyebrows evolved once again, becoming a nine-tomoe Rinnegan.

At the same time, the chakra attributes within the body are also rapidly merging, using Yin-Yang Release as the foundation to fuse with the other five basic attributes, ultimately evolving into the seven-attribute Bloodline Limit.

That wasn't all. The Yin-Yang power and the Five Elements power he had cultivated in the past were also brought together and fused, propelling him to further improvement.

"Hao, we did it!"

The moment she completed her transformation, Princess Kaguya left the starting sphere and rushed into her little man's arms, giving him a sweet kiss.

After planning for so long, the final transformation has finally been completed.

She is now no weaker than her original self, and her combat power is even greater.

"congratulations!"

Tamura Hao was also very happy. Kaguya's improvement would be of great help to him, and he would need her assistance in his next training in spatial power.

"How is the evolution of the Divine Power Eye Technique progressing?"

The next focus will be on inquiring about the evolution of the Divine Power Eye Technique.

"It has already been guided to evolve into Ame no Minaka and is currently merging the Kamui Space and the Origin Sphere Space. Once the fusion is complete, that space will completely belong to me."

Princess Kaguya also valued that eye technique very much, and her first priority in evolving was to upgrade that eye technique, eventually becoming Amenominaka.

She possesses the legacy of her original body, especially after absorbing the chakra left behind by her original body in the Origin Sphere Space. As long as there is a similar eye technique, she can guide its evolution after absorbing and fusing it.

Kamui was the closest to Amenominaka and successfully evolved into Amenominaka through this transformation.

In this way, the primordial space can be completely refined and made into one's own private space, which even the original body cannot control upon its birth.

This is important because the original body will eventually be rescued, and then the two will merge into one. Whoever controls more and stronger power will take the lead. At the same time, the fusion may also drive the Eye of the Moon to further transform.

"You can now proceed with the final fusion."

Sitting in the little man's lap, Princess Kaguya was very attached to him.

"Okay! Keep an eye on things for me."

Tamura Hao kissed Kaguya's snow-white hair, then turned Black Zetsu out, nodded to him, and guided the Yin-Yang Release and Five Elements Release within his body to undergo a final fusion and transformation.

In fact, he had almost merged the two a month ago, but he kept it under wraps so that Kaguya could complete her transformation first and then assist him in his own transformation.

Princess Kaguya not only possesses the bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan, but also inherits the legacy of the original body, so there is little risk in her transformation.

Because it's not a transformation in essence, but more like restoring power, restoring the power of one's former peak, so the risk is naturally much smaller.

Tamura Hao, on the other hand, was purely pioneering and innovative. Without the backing of the Otsutsuki bloodline, there would naturally be some risks involved.

Of course, there are only some risks. After all, this is a gradual process of integration and fusion, rather than the brutal bloodline fusion of the past. Although there are risks, they will not be fatal.

Even if Otsutsuki Toneri and his son hadn't appeared this time, he would have still performed the final fusion in a few months.

As expected, the fusion and transformation of the Bloodline Limit caused considerable damage to the body. Although not fatal, it inevitably depleted the body's potential.

Kaguya and Black Zetsu worked together to minimize the damage, keeping it within Tamura Hao's tolerance range, and ultimately the transformation was successful.

Before Tamura Hao could even savor the changes after his transformation, a pair of hot, red lips sealed his lips with hers, and he didn't refuse...

Seeing that his mother had important business to attend to, Black Zetsu tactfully left the Myoboku-san temple, only to wait for her to emerge the next day.

"What's the situation now?"

Tamura Hiroshi, rubbing his lower back, asked a question, inwardly marveling at Kaguya's ferocity. She was indeed difficult to deal with at her peak; even with his fighting prowess, he felt as if he had been completely drained.

It seems that the cultivation and integration of spatial power is imperative, only in this way can we continue to maintain our advantage.

"Just as we expected, Yu Yi and the others did not expose themselves and chose to remain hidden and observe from the shadows."

Obito Uchiha may have regained the Kamui eye technique, and Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha fused their bloodline limit a few days ago with Orochimaru's help.

Naruto Uzumaki's is Steel Release, while Sasuke Uchiha fused Yin and Lightning Release to create a purplish-black Lightning Release bloodline limit, capable of attacking not only the body but also the mind, will, and even the soul.

The main pieces of information have been extracted. Currently, Black Zetsu isn't attracting much attention; it's just a few people.

Those are all key points, through which one can indirectly gain insight into Yu Yi and her group's plans.

"It must be the Sage of Six Paths increasing his stakes. Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha will definitely surpass Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha back then."

Tamura Hao was not surprised by this. If he were the Sage of Six Paths, he would definitely improve the strength of the chess pieces while continuing to hide himself.

At least until the hidden Otsutsuki Isshiki is found, those two will most likely not show themselves, otherwise they will lose their biggest advantage of being hidden in the dark.

At that point, the enemy will be in the dark while we are in the light, which will put us at a great disadvantage and allow Otsutsuki Isshiki to hide even more deeply.

With the Otsutsuki clan potentially descending at any moment, the Sage of Six Paths and his allies will undoubtedly prioritize targeting Isshiki Otsutsuki, who has been hiding for millennia.

As the saying goes, "To fight external enemies, one must first secure internal stability." Only by resolving internal problems can we better address external ones.

Otherwise, if internal and external problems erupt simultaneously, or even if there is a coordinated attack from within and without, we could be caught in a trap.

This is the human instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm; it's easy to guess.

All those arrangements were made to let the Sage of Six Paths know and believe in the existence of Otsutsuki Isshiki, and to make him understand his power, so that he would be more vigilant and less likely to show himself.

What followed was their golden age.

"It's time to make a move on Sunagakure and Iwagakure as well."

Black Zetsu mentioned Sunagakure and Iwagakure, saying that the next period would be the golden time for them to plan and lay out their schemes. As long as they didn't touch Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, Hagoromo and the others would never show up to interfere with the ninja world.

In this way, we can conquer the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth, and then plant the Immortal Trees to strengthen their foundation.

"Wait a while longer. Lord Danzo's world-destroying black lotus has just devoured the incomplete Ten-Tails of Otsutsuki Toneri, and it will take some time to adapt."

By the way, how's things going with Lord Danzo?

Thinking of his father-in-law, Tamura Hao was looking forward to seeing what the other party would do next.

"Many clones were cultivated using Hashirama cells and some cells from the Uchiha clan. They were all sealed with Dark Lotus Seeds and could use Dark Wood Release. The number of clones reached as many as 100,000."

Several capable Uchiha clones awakened their Mangekyou Sharingan with the stimulation of dark chakra. Shimura Danzo transplanted a Mangekyou Sharingan with space-time jutsu, which he used to assassinate Otsutsuki Toneri, thus defeating him.

Black Zetsu explained the preparations made by Danzo Shimura, and what followed was a major drama centered around Danzo Shimura.

The ninja world will never be peaceful!

"One hundred thousand ninja troops are enough to wipe out Sunagakure and Iwagakure."

Tamura Hao was very satisfied with the wealth his father-in-law had accumulated. He planned to go and receive the inheritance after his father-in-law was beaten to death.

The Root organization still has a lot of resources, and they can still make a splash even in Boruto.

Meanwhile, Shimura Danzo was unaware that he had been targeted. After devouring the incomplete Ten-Tails, he returned to his lair and silently guided the World-Destroying Black Lotus to refine the incomplete Ten-Tails and half of the Five-Tails within it.

Having learned from his previous failure, he is now much more cautious. He must thoroughly refine and integrate the power he has absorbed, especially the power of the tailed beasts, which he cannot afford to be careless about.

He didn't want to fall in the same place again.

After more than three months of this adjustment period, a piece of intelligence suddenly arrived.

"The Ninja Kingdom Alliance wants to cooperate with Hiruzen to eliminate me?"

After reading the intelligence report, Danzo Shimura's eyes narrowed slightly.

It seems that the information about his obtaining the incomplete Ten-Tails has been known to the Ninja Alliance, making them even more wary of him, which is why they decided to use this method.

If it were anyone else, whether it were Jiraiya, Orochimaru, or even Hiashi Hyuga and Fugaku Uchiha, it would be highly unlikely that they would join forces with the Shinobi Kingdom Alliance to target him.

After all, he didn't have any deep grudges against those people, but it was hard to say what would happen if it were that old friend.

He had never forgotten that half-minute of hesitation his old buddy had during the battle of Konoha.

If we were to name the person in Konoha who most wants to get rid of him right now, it would probably be that old buddy.

He sneered and burned the intelligence report to ashes. Then he picked up a family photo that had been sent with it. Compared to the last family photo, there were four more babies, and the total number of people was an astonishing seventy-four, not even counting the young couple.

"Haven't you had anything worthwhile to do all these years?"

Looking at so many grandchildren, Shimura Danzo's usually stern face softened with a rare gentle smile, which he then burned to ashes with his dark fire before picking up another photograph.

It was a black-haired boy who looked adorably silly.

"You don't look like an old man at all."

After watching for a while, Shimura Danzo shook his head.

Although he didn't really approve of the child, he was still his own flesh and blood and had always paid attention to him.

Unfortunately, that child became the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, destined to be his enemy, and he also had to obtain the Nine-Tails.

Of course, the prerequisite is obtaining the Rinnegan.

He felt the pressure when the Black Lotus of Annihilation devoured so many tailed beasts during that great battle.

Even though the Black Lotus of Annihilation itself has no intelligence, it is still not easy to control.

According to his estimation, he could only swallow the One-Tailed Beast and half of the Five-Tailed Beast inside Onoki before reaching the limit of control and the limit of his capacity.

To further devour the tailed beasts, we must devour the Gedo Mazo and obtain the two Rinnegan.

This is a necessary condition.

"Two months, at most two months, and we can launch our attack."

Having thought of the One-Tailed Beast from Sunagakure and half of the Five-Tailed Beast from Iwagakure, Danzo Shimura set it as his next target.

Furthermore, it's not just about devouring the tailed beasts; it's also about consuming all the ninjas that the two great ninja villages have developed over the years, turning them into nourishment for the Box of Bliss and the Black Lotus of Annihilation, further enhancing them and preparing for the upcoming great war.

He must elevate the Black Lotus of Annihilation and himself to their ultimate potential in order to defeat all powerful enemies, unify the ninja world, and become the Ninja Emperor who surpasses the Fire Emperor, standing alongside, or even surpassing, the legendary Sage of Six Paths.

Thinking of this, Danzo Shimura's blood boiled with excitement.

That was his lifelong pursuit, and he was determined to achieve it no matter the cost.

Anyone who dares to stop me will be killed! (End of Chapter)
