Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

"I can't sense anything anymore. What happened there?"

Realizing he had lost contact with the Rinnegan, Madara Uchiha stared at the large tree in the distance, not understanding what had happened.

"Kaguya, she dares to show her face again!"

Momoshiki Otsutsuki, who had been secretly observing the battle, saw through the true nature of the situation: Kaguya was about to be unsealed and resurrected.

The appearance of that nine-tomoe Rinnegan, in particular, must be Kaguya's power.

The fruit of the sacred tree, which was borne as a sacrifice, was indeed excellent.

It's a pity it's incomplete; otherwise, it would likely have been a golden Rinnegan, which has even greater potential.

The Sage of Six Paths, hidden in the Pure Land of the Underworld, also sensed his mother's chakra appearing, but it was different from what he had anticipated and planned.

According to his calculations, his mother should be resurrected with the help of Uchiha Madara, and he even went to great lengths to modify Uchiha Madara's soul for this purpose.

Who would have thought that the mother chose Orochimaru, but upon closer inspection, Orochimaru really does seem more suitable.

Firstly, her bloodline has been fully restored; secondly, she has undergone multiple transformations under the power of the Ten-Tails and is now an Otsutsuki; and thirdly, her female body is more suitable to bear the burden of her mother.

However, since I didn't prepare any backup plans for Orochimaru, there will be more variables going to happen next.

"Kaguya!"

Meanwhile, Isshiki Otsutsuki, who was hiding in the shadows, sensed Kaguya Otsutsuki's chakra and gritted his teeth in hatred.

He had suffered severe chakra depletion and a significant loss of strength due to his long-distance traversal to this world, which allowed Kaguya to ambush him. If he hadn't used his eye technique to escape his main body, he would have been killed by that bitch.

The injuries sustained back then have never fully healed, and can only be temporarily suppressed with the help of the Ten-Tails' power.

He must reclaim the part of his body and power that Kaguya took from him and restore himself to his original form.

"Such terrifying chakra... Could it be that the woman the Six Paths Elder spoke of has been resurrected?"

As Naruto sensed the terrifying chakra emanating from the treetop, a sense of fear and oppression welled up within him.

That chakra was enormous, far surpassing even the Ten-Tails' power.

"We cannot bring her back to life."

Sasuke Uchiha once again condensed Susanoo and swung his sword towards the top of the tree.

Naruto Uzumaki followed closely, channeling his own power into Susanoo and using Wood Release to create a framework within it. He also infused his Steel Release chakra into Susanoo to amplify its defense and power.

Hiashi Hyuga did not make a move, but instead silently recovered his chakra.

His chakra has been depleted to a dangerous level by now, and he should not fight any longer.

However, one cannot escape, for there is no way to escape. If the person recorded in the ancient text is resurrected, one will inevitably be killed.

There's no turning back; I must recover my chakra and rejoin the battle as soon as possible.

"Eighty Gods Air Strike!"

Countless chakra fists erupted, shattering Susanoo before it could swipe down, and Orochimaru's body was completely transformed into something else entirely.

It was Kaguya Otsutsuki who had been resurrected. After her resurrection, Kaguya Otsutsuki frowned slightly and separated the Dark Ten-Tails from her body.

"Is it contaminated?"

This Ten-Tails is so different from what it used to be. How did it become like this?

"Mom, the Ten-Tails has devoured many excellent offerings and has reached the standard to become a divine tree again. The world is developing very quickly now, enough to bear a new fruit."

Black Zetsu suggested, hiding in Kaguya Otsutsuki's sleeve.

"The nursery has become much more lush."

Kaguya Otsutsuki sensed it and found that there were indeed many sources of chakra, some of which were quite good.

After confirming that the nursery was thriving, Kaguya Otsutsuki manipulated the Dark Ten-Tails to transform into a divine tree. The tree's roots merged with the surrounding divine tree world, absorbing chakra to produce fruit.

He even separated Orochimaru's soul and his equally corrupted Rinnegan from within the Divine Tree, merging them into its nourishment to strengthen its foundation and make the fruits it bore even better.

After doing all this, he turned his gaze to the two people who had been blasted away earlier and sensed a familiar power.

"Is it Hagoromo and Hamura... no, is it Indra and Ashura? Hagoromo inherited his power and wants to seal me away again?"

Using the Byakugan, he saw the power within the two individuals and realized it was the inheritance of the Feather Robe.

Although she was sealed away, she still had some awareness of the outside world, especially since she had communicated with Hamura when he was still alive. So she knew some things, such as those two grandsons.

"Mom, they are the reincarnations of Indra and Ashura's chakra, and they also inherited the power of Hagoromo. To be on the safe side, it's best to fight in Mom's space."

Black Zetsu suggested that this had been planned long ago.

Kaguya Otsutsuki didn't say anything. With a thought, she shifted the surrounding space, bringing Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki to an unfamiliar space. Hiashi Hyuga, who was silently recovering his chakra, and Minato Namikaze, who was hiding and waiting for an opportunity, were also brought in.

"Watergate!"

Before Minato Namikaze could figure out what was going on, a figure suddenly appeared beside him—his wife, Kyuhin.

"Ninth rank!"

Upon seeing his wife, Minato Namikaze breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could even finish exhaling, his body was bound by his wife's Vajra Lock, and all nine of them were inside him.

Before he could figure out what was happening, a huge mouth came over and swallowed him whole.

His chakra was suppressed and sealed by his wife's Adamantine Sealing Technique, making it impossible for him to escape using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

On the other side, Hiashi Hyuga was targeted by Kaguya, who slashed down with her scythe of death. The speed and power of the scythe far exceeded Hiashi Hyuga's limits, and even his Truth-Seeking Balls were shattered.

Before he could react, his body was split in two, and the Tenseigan between his eyebrows, which had just turned golden, was also cut open. The Tenseigan in the sealed space in his abdomen was also cut open, and the chakra belonging to Hamura Otsutsuki was pulled out.

Then the Jade Rabbit's gaping maw appeared and swallowed Hyuga Hiashi whole, along with his soul.

On the other side, Tsunade and the others were also besieging Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki, and separating the two.

Although the two were caught off guard, they were still able to hold on and were not instantly killed.

But it only lasted a few seconds before Sasuke Uchiha's left hand and Naruto Uzumaki's right hand were severed one after the other.

Having lost their right and left hands, which served as carriers of Yin and Yang power, the two's strength plummeted instantly, leading to their suppression and severe injuries by Tsunade and others. They were then devoured by the Jade Rabbit, controlled by Princess Kaguya.

A short while later, the Jade Rabbit spat out Naruto and Sasuke, who had been drained of their power and purified, as well as Minato Namikaze, and then took Kaguya into its body to undergo its final transformation.

This time, with the addition of the powers of the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura Otsutsuki, Princess Kaguya's power is now completely complete.

Moreover, Kaguya Otsutsuki was previously swallowed by the Jade Rabbit, and the power within her body is currently merging and transforming with Kaguya-hime. Once this transformation is completed, she will surely be able to advance even further.

That's right, this is Tamura Hao's entire plan: to use Kaguya Otsutsuki to transfer the group into the Origin Sphere, and then use the perfect isolation of the Origin Sphere to capture them, so that even the Sage of Six Paths would have difficulty sensing it in a short period of time.

"Ninth rank!"

The purified Minato Namikaze looked at his wife, not understanding what had happened and why Kyu-han would suddenly target him.

"My arms have grown back!"

Naruto Uzumaki stared in astonishment at his restored right hand. It had just been severed, but now it was back to normal, though the Yang energy mark on it was gone, and the chakra within his body was also gone.

Fortunately, the Steel Release bloodline he had cultivated was still intact, and his chakra could be refined again.

"So strong!"

Sasuke Uchiha stared intently at the people around him, and his heart sank when he saw the Truth-Seeking Balls in their hands.

The previous battle was too hasty and too fast. He didn't even have time to see these people clearly before he was attacked one after another and then swallowed up. His own power was also completely devoured, and even the power of his Rinnegan with six tomoe was swallowed up, leaving only the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Sasuke!"

A pink-haired girl rushed over, ready to throw herself into Uchiha Sasuke's arms, but was kicked away.

Sasuke Uchiha stared warily at the somewhat familiar girl. At this moment, he dared not be careless in the slightest, nor did he dare to let anyone get close to him.

"Sasuke!"

Sakura Haruno, having regained her balance, looked aggrieved, but she was quickly stunned, staring blankly at Sasuke Uchiha's magnanimity.

She was just attacking Naruto's group because she didn't want to fight Sasuke, and she didn't want Sasuke to see her violent fighting style, so she didn't really see Sasuke clearly.

The previous live stream was shot from a distance, so the view wasn't very clear, but now that we've seen it up close, we can see that something is wrong with Sasuke.

She didn't think much of the high ponytail; quite a few men wear ponytails.

But what about that broad-mindedness?

Looking at Sasuke Uchiha's magnanimity and then at her own, Sakura Haruno was even more bewildered and felt somewhat inferior.

Why does Sasuke have breasts, even bigger than his own?

Why?

"Wasn't Sasuke supposed to be a boy?"

Mikoto Uchiha looked at Izumi Uchiha in astonishment. She had asked Izumi about the situation of her clan before, including Fugaku's youngest son.

He's clearly a boy, so why does he look like a girl now?

Uchiha Izumi shook her head, also somewhat bewildered.

"Meiyin!"

Mikoto Uchiha looked at Mion Uchiha who was rushing over from a distance. This was the message that Black Zetsu had sent to persuade Sasuke Uchiha.

"Sasuke!"

Uchiha Mion used her Body Flicker Technique to finally reach her daughter, embracing her tightly in her arms. Only when she saw that her daughter was unharmed did she feel relieved, as she had been worried that these people might have gone too far.

"Mother!"

Uchiha Sasuke was very puzzled and didn't understand what was going on.

"It's a long story, I'll use illusion magic to transmit it to you."

Knowing she had to persuade her daughter as soon as possible, Uchiha Mion used genjutsu to transmit fragments of what she had heard after being brought there.

She acknowledged these things and hoped that her daughter could break free from being a pawn, and didn't want her to take any more risks.

Getting married, having children, and living a good life is the most practical thing to do.

"Mom, do you choose to believe them?"

After reviewing that memory fragment and looking around at the people around him, Sasuke Uchiha finally understood his mother's choice.

"I don't want you to take any more risks."

Gently stroking her daughter's cheek, Uchiha Mion truly didn't want her daughter to go on any more risky battles.

She had seen the previous live stream footage; her daughter had narrowly escaped death several times, not to mention that her daughter was a pawn of the Sage of Six Paths.

Even if the Sage of Six Paths was their ancestor, that was countless generations ago, and they had no connection anymore.

She didn't want her daughter to work for that old ancestor, especially since her daughter had no chance of winning here, and those people's patience and kindness had their limits.

"I see!"

Seeing his mother's hope, Uchiha Sasuke finally put down the Kusanagi sword in his hand.

"Sasuke, why? Why did you become like this?"

Sakura Haruno, who had just come to her senses, was very puzzled and couldn't understand why her idol had turned into a goddess.

What exactly happened in the past few years?

However, Sasuke Uchiha had no interest in her; he had never been interested in any woman since he was a child.

Especially after experiencing that man's betrayal of his family when he was seven years old, all he had in his heart was a thirst for power.

Seeing Sakura Haruno's state, Naruto Uzumaki instinctively wanted to go over and comfort her, but looking at Sasuke beside him, he ultimately didn't move.

"Ninth Rank, what's going on with them?"

Kushina came over curiously to ask, and noticed something was amiss.

Naruto, that simp, didn't comfort Sakura; instead, he kept glancing at Sasuke. That's not normal.

"Hao-jun taught Naruto a secret technique that allowed him to change his gender, and then Naruto turned Sasuke into a girl, and then it seems that they developed a little relationship."

Whirlpool Ninth Rank, who had just finished explaining to her husband, sighed. She didn't know how to talk about this kind of thing anymore.

Meiyin was quite happy and agreeable, but she felt something was off.

Fortunately, Sasuke is quite pretty after turning into a girl. Hopefully, he will be able to have children, then there won't be any problems.

Although he lowered his voice, everyone present was quite capable and naturally heard him.

"Naruto Uzumaki!"

Just as she was in despair, Sakura Haruno heard that the culprit was Naruto Uzumaki. Her despair instantly turned into boundless rage. With a powerful stomp of her slender foot encased in her combat boots, she shot out like a cannonball and swung her fist down.

Naruto Uzumaki quickly activated his Steel Release to strengthen his body and raised his hand to block.

After a short while, he had already refined some chakra.

"Clang!"

The fists encased in gauntlets collided with his arms, producing a heavy sound, and at the same time, the ground beneath Naruto's feet shattered instantly.

Naruto, in his Steel Release form, was also forced to break free. Only then did he realize that Sakura's body had also turned black like her Steel Release form, clearly indicating that she also possessed Steel Release, and at a higher level than his own.

That's right, Sakura Haruno chose the Steel Release bloodline path, and under the guidance of Tamura Hiroshi, she fused all seven attributes to form the Bloodline Net, which is a level stronger than Naruto Uzumaki's six attributes Steel Release.

Naruto Uzumaki, who had been forced into his Steel Release form, turned pale and was filled with fear.

Sakura's punches are getting more and more terrifying!

Just as Haruno Sakura was about to throw her second punch, a purple blade flashed past, slashing Haruno Sakura back several steps.

"Sasuke!"

Sakura Haruno froze, stunned, as she watched Sasuke Uchiha stab her. She was also heartbroken.

Why?

Why did it turn out like this?

All these years of hard training were for the sake of being able to be with Sasuke, so why did it end up like this?

This is not the ending I wanted!

She could accept losing to another woman, after all, Sasuke is so handsome, but how could she accept losing to a man?

Sasuke Uchiha maintained his aloof goddess demeanor, offering no explanation, but his will to protect Naruto Uzumaki remained unwavering.

In this world, only I can beat that idiot; no one else can.

Just then, a golden light sword fell, slashing straight at Uchiha Sasuke; it was Hinata Hyuga who had made her move.

She had just overheard Aunt Jiupin's words; that Uchiha Sasuke was the obstacle preventing her from being with Naruto.

It must be erased!

But before the golden light sword could even strike, it was blasted apart. It was Sakura Haruno who made her move, unleashing her full power to shatter Hinata Hyuga's attack.

Among that generation, Sakura Haruno was the only one who could rival Hinata Hyuga, because Sakura Haruno was the most dedicated to training and eventually fused together a Truth-Seeking Ball.

"You mustn't hurt Sasuke!"

Even though Sasuke has become a goddess and has a new love, she is still someone she once loved, and she will never allow him to be killed.

"This is so complicated!"

While munching on sunflower seeds, Ziyuan watched the melodramatic scene unfold, finding the whole situation rather confusing.

"It is indeed very complicated, but Master Lu is right: a simp, a bootlicker, will end up with nothing!"

Tamura Hao's shadow clone nodded in agreement; those guys really know how to play.

"How dare you say that!"

Tsunade, standing nearby, gave her a disdainful look, then reached into Shion's pocket, grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds, and started eating them too.

Watching a melodramatic soap opera before the final battle is a great way to relieve stress.

The women also took out various snacks from Ziyuan's pockets, eating them while watching the show.

This scene made Minato Namikaze, who was standing nearby, twitch his face, and the tense atmosphere from before instantly collapsed.

"Why hasn't Hiashi-kun come out?"

Seeing that another fight was about to break out, Minato Namikaze had no choice but to change the subject.

Sure enough, upon hearing her father's name, Hinata Hyuga realized that her father had been swallowed and had not come out.

Where is my dad?

After glancing at the enormous jade rabbit, Hinata Hyuga turned her gaze to someone else, feeling even more uneasy.

"It's already been digested!"

Tamura Hao's shadow clone confessed frankly, and then the girl raised her hand and once again condensed a golden light sword to slash down.

"Go to hell, you bastard!"

That's a damn bastard!

However, the golden lightsaber ultimately failed to strike, because Tamura Hiroki's clone used a young girl as a shield.

"firework!"

Upon seeing her younger sister, Hinata Hyuga quickly dispelled her Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, leaped over, snatched her sister into her hands, and glared at someone hatefully.

"Think about your mother. You don't really believe she died of illness, do you? I can extract fragments of Hiashi-kun's memories related to that. Do you want to see them?"

Ignoring the girl's resentful gaze, Tamura Hao revealed another trump card.

Back then, Hiashi Hyuga sneaked into the moon and stole Miyu Otsutsuki, who was Toneri Otsutsuki's mother. In the end, perhaps in order to create a perfect bloodline, he conceived Hinata and Hanabi with her.

Miyu Otsutsuki died of illness when Hanabi was three years old. At least, that's the official story. But there was no burial, and she was never seen alive or dead.

"I won't watch!"

After a moment of silence, the girl glared at someone again with resentment, then left with her younger sister in her arms, tears streaming down her face.

That guy was a big bad guy who ruined everything he had.

"You bastard, die!"

At this moment, Sakura Haruno also turned her gaze to someone, leaped forward, and punched him to pieces.

Although it's just a shadow clone, at least it can vent its anger.

No one had any objections. That bastard often did inhuman things, so it was good to teach him a lesson, even if it was just a shadow clone.
