Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Tamura Hiroshi didn't say much, picked up the notebook and left to study quietly at home.

He didn't want to leave the chakra mutated by star energy inside his body. Although his physique and recovery ability could withstand the erosion, it was still not good. Sealing it in the external curse seal would be perfect.

Because he had previously studied the original cursed seal technique given to him by Orochimaru, he learned the modified cursed seal technique very quickly. On the fourth day, Tamura Hao condensed a purple butterfly-shaped cursed seal on his vest.

This is the cursed seal form of the Butterfly Chakra after it has been mutated by star energy. At the same time, this cursed seal also incorporates the Yin Seal and has its own sealing space that can store a lot of chakra.

To create an armor form in the future, a large amount of chakra will be needed, and a huge storage space is required for better solidification. This is especially true for someone like Tamura Hao, who uses the Expansion Technique as his main combat method. It won't be easy to create a suit of armor for his Expansion state.

Then comes the learning of sealing techniques that seal life force. This only requires inscribing the technique's array on one's body to form a close-fitting sealing barrier that blocks the perception of ninjutsu.

Of course, it can't block the white eyes' ability to see through.

Fortunately, there are no Hyuga ninjas here. I heard that the Hyuga ninjas have been dispatched to the eastern battlefield to defend against the Kirigakure ninjas, and that is where the battle line is the longest.

As Sunagakure declared war on Konoha, the other three major ninja villages also joined the fray.

The first to appear was Iwagakure, and they deployed their troops on the border of Kusagakure, in good agreement with Sunagakure.

Then there's the Hidden Cloud Village, which is a martial arts faction. The Hidden Mist Village hasn't made any moves yet, but it's likely to soon.

This is the current situation in the ninja world. The Ninja World War has begun, but it is currently in the initial probing phase. It remains to be seen who will make a full-scale attack first.

Tamura Hao paid little attention to these things and continued to cultivate diligently to improve his strength.

This training lasted for nearly a year, and the Sand Village ninja army only came to test the waters a few times.

However, the probing period is clearly almost over. Everyone has a good understanding of each other's strengths and weaknesses, and the decisive battle will follow.

Meanwhile, some uninvited guests also arrived.

"Hao Jun?"

Nohara Rin was quite surprised to see the burly figure wielding a giant iron hammer while shirtless.

Although Haojun was the tallest in his class when he was in school, he has grown too fast now.

He's already 1.8 meters tall, I think he's even a bit taller than Minato-sensei.

"It's Rin, and also Tsuchi-kun and Nishi-kun."

Upon hearing the voice, Tamura Hiroshi put down the giant hammer he had been tossing and turned to see a familiar face.

Although it had been almost two years since they last met, their appearances hadn't changed much, especially Kakashi, whose mask and white hair made him very recognizable.

"It's Obito!"

Obito Uchiha expressed his dissatisfaction: "My name is Obito, not Obito."

"Don't be angry. I just thought it sounded better that way, since Lin is a single name."

Tamura Hao stepped forward with a smile. This explanation made Uchiha Obito instantly agree, and even gain more favor towards him. He also secretly glanced at the goddess beside him.

Tamura Hao saw all of this and sighed, "He truly deserves to be called the strongest simp in the Naruto world."

Kakashi didn't care about the title and went over to try to pick up the big iron hammer. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't lift the hammer; it just wobbled slightly.

"Is that hammer solid?"

Rin Nohara noticed Kakashi's actions and was very curious about the giant iron hammer that was even bigger than herself.

"Of course it's solid; I use it to train my strength."

Tamura Hao naturally wouldn't use a hollow giant hammer to show off; although it wasn't solid iron, it was filled with gold.

It was something that the family's elite had seized from Luo Sha during previous battles. They had acquired quite a lot of it and stored it in the warehouse. Then he got this big iron hammer.

"That must be four thousand kilograms, right?"

Nohara Rin estimated that the hammerhead was about half a cubic meter in size.

Obito Uchiha went over and tried it, but no matter how hard he tried, it was no use; he couldn't even budge it.

"It should weigh ten tons, and it's not made of iron."

Kakashi spoke, though he was quite surprised, he was confident in his own judgment.

It must weigh at least ten tons, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to lift the hammer handle so little.

"Ten tons? You were just swinging something that heavy?"

Obito Uchiha was dumbfounded. How could this be?

"It weighs about ten tons and is filled with gold. I use this to train my superhuman strength."

Tamura Hiroshi nodded. This was a tool he had specially created to train his superhuman strength.

They either swing it around in circles to perfect the "Axe and Shield Dance," or they toss it into the air and catch it. Although it's exaggerated, it's not difficult to do with the help of superhuman strength.

Actually, this size is nothing in the ninja world. Many ninjutsu can do it. For example, the fat guy from the Sound Five in the future can lift a super-sized rock, which is definitely thousands of tons in size.

Of course, those Earth Release ninjutsu usually have the effect of reducing weight, which can be regarded as a one-time Light-Weight Rock Technique. The weight borne by the user is only a small part, but that is still quite exaggerated.

"Is that Lady Tsunade's superhuman strength technique?"

Nohara Rin knew this, after all, he was her idol.

"Yes, Tsunade-sensei's super strength technique suits me very well."

Nodding, Tamura Hao placed great importance on superhuman strength, or rather, on physical skills.

Currently, ninjutsu reigns supreme in the ninja world, but once the Otsutsuki emerge, ninjutsu will become useless. Genjutsu will also be ineffective against Otsutsuki who possess the Byakugan or Rinnegan, leaving them with only taijutsu to fight.

Therefore, physical skills are the most promising, and they remain effective even in the Boruto era.

"Come on, I'll take you to find Shizune and the others."

He quickly rinsed himself with water from the water tank next to him, then shook off the water droplets on his body with force. Tamura Hao signaled the three of them to follow.

First, go to the lab and find Silent, then find Might Guy who is training by poking bees with a long stick.

"Kai, look who's here."

Tamura Hao greeted him. Ever since he told Might Guy about that idea, Might Guy had gone completely mad. He could think of cultivation in everything he saw, and right now he was playing with those bees.

Not only do you have to hit the target precisely, but you also have to avoid harming the bee. It really tests your eyesight and your control over your strength.

"Kakashi, have you come to visit me?"

Turning around at the sound, Might Guy was so excited by Kakashi's classic pose that he burst into tears and rushed over to give him a warm hug.

He and Kakashi were very close when they were young, but unfortunately Kakashi graduated and left the academy early and has been doing missions ever since, so they rarely met. This is the first time they have met since graduation.

"You brought the bees with you."

Seeing the swarm of bees that followed Might Guy, Obito Uchiha's face turned almost green, and he hurriedly grabbed Rin Nohara and tried to run away.

If you don't run away quickly, you'll definitely get stung until your head turns into a pig's head.

"It's fine."

Tamura Hao offered a word of comfort, then swung his hand, creating a gust of wind that blew the swarm of bees back.

Kakashi had already raised his hand and pressed it against Might Guy's face, which was full of passion and tears; he didn't want to hug him.

Unfortunately, he was too weak and was forcibly held in Might Guy's arms. The scene was so intensely homoerotic that even Tamura Hiroshi found it a bit cringeworthy.

Kakashi was astonished; Might Guy's power was too great, and this was just pure physical strength, without any chakra enhancement to his explosive power.

Has Kai improved that much?

After a while, the three of them arrived at a small river not far away, where they caught and grilled fish, chatting and laughing.

"How come you all grow up so fast?"

Obito Uchiha was quite frustrated. All three of them had grown up too fast. The tallest, Tamura Hiroshi, was already 1.8 meters tall, Might Guy was 1.7 meters tall, and even Shizune, who was a girl, looked to be 1.6 meters tall, all taller than him.

We're all only eleven years old, so why are you all growing up so fast?

Did you take hormones?

"We all practice Yang Release and medical ninjutsu, which stimulates our bodily functions to speed up our growth and development."

Tamura Hao revealed the secret: the reason he grew so fast in school, a head taller than his peers, was because the training in Yang Release stimulated his physical development.

Of course, the main reason for its rapid growth over the past year is its abundant life force.

Silent and Mighty also grew and developed quickly because of the support of life force.

"I also want to grow up quickly."

Nohara Rin was very envious of Shizune's current figure; compared to her, she was completely flat-chested.

"Growing too fast isn't good either; it will put pressure on Kakashi and Obito."

Jingyin, who was brushing sauce onto the grilled fish, laughed. She didn't need to worry because Haojun was growing very fast and was already over 1.8 meters tall. Even if she grew another 10 centimeters, she would still look short standing next to him.

"It's good to grow slowly."

Obito Uchiha was a little nervous, fearing that Rin might learn that method to accelerate her growth, which would put real pressure on him.

"Kakashi, using Lightning Release to electrocute fish is shameful."

Just then, Matt Kai's wailing came from the other side of the river. The four of them turned around and saw a large number of fish floating in the river, all of them stunned by the electric shock.

The two had just had a fish-catching contest, and then Kakashi cheated.

"Knowing Lightning Release is my skill, why can't I use it?"

Kakashi spoke with righteous indignation: "If you think it's unfair, go learn Lightning Release yourself."

"That's true!"

Might Guy, who was still grumbling, thought it made sense and immediately raised his hand, extending a chakra thread to pull the long stick stuck in the riverbank over.

After twirling the staff in his hand, he slammed it into the river with a powerful strike, the force of which rippled through the water, stunning all the fish in his path, which then floated to the surface.

Might Guy immediately switched to two kunai and used them to lift the floating fish into the air. He then scaled, gutted, and removed the gills in one go. Finally, he threw the processed fish into a bucket on the shore, where Uchiha Obito washed it and Tamura Hao marinated it.

Kakashi was very surprised to see this. It wasn't just about speed; it also required a high level of precision. Guy had improved a lot in the past two years.

Despite the alarm, Kakashi remained calm and drew his White Fang short sword, using the Hatake sword technique to quickly deal with the floating fish, even employing Lightning Release to further enhance his hand speed.

Of course, the two of them still had principles, only dealing with the big fish and letting the small fish go.

"Slow down, I can't keep up with the washing."

Obito Uchiha was so angry he was about to activate his Sharingan. Couldn't those two bastards have slowed down a bit?

In a friendly atmosphere, the six people ate to their hearts' content.

"Kakashi, I've heard that your Hatake family's ancestors were a samurai family."

While sipping his tea brewed in silence, Tamura Hiroshi suddenly asked a question.

The Hatake family's tradition is swordsmanship, which evolved from samurai swordsmanship.

"Um!"

Kakashi nodded; this was no secret.

"I want to learn your family's swordsmanship to perfect my axe technique. I now possess the Light and Heavy Rock Technique, which I obtained from Iwagakure. It can reduce the weight of myself and others. If I train it to its limit, I can even achieve anti-gravity flight and maintain it for a long time."

You seem to be playing a speed-based style; this should help you.

Tamura Hiroshi longed to learn pure swordsmanship, the kind of swordsmanship that could unleash sword energy like that of Mifune, the Admiral of the Land of Iron.

"good!"

Kakashi thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement. The technique that could reduce one's own weight was indeed very suitable for him, as it would make him faster and greatly improve his combat power.

Not to mention that those who cultivate to the extreme can even fly, which can save their lives in critical moments.

There are not many ninjas in the ninja world who can fly, and gaining the ability to fly is equivalent to gaining the initiative in battle.

I won't lose out on this deal!

Obito Uchiha, standing nearby, was filled with envy, but no matter how much he envied, it was useless; he had no leverage to make a deal with them.

"Tsuchi-kun, do you want this kind of ninjutsu?"

Noticing Obito Uchiha's envy, Tamura Hao turned his head and revealed a gentle smile.

"I want to, but I have nothing to exchange with you."

Obito Uchiha scratched his head. He really longed for that kind of ninjutsu, but unfortunately, he didn't have one to trade.

We can't just take it for free!

"Actually, you have something of equal value; it just depends on whether you're willing to give it up."

Tamura Hiroshi's smile gradually took on a mysterious air.

"I have?"

Obito Uchiha was stunned. He looked down at himself and realized he had nothing.

Kidneys?

"They are your eyes!"

Tamura Hao's expression changed suddenly. He drew the White Fang short sword from Kakashi's back and swung it. Nohara Rin, who was sitting next to Shizune, coughed up blood from her neck. Then he slit Kakashi's throat as well, and blood splattered onto Uchiha Obito's face.

The death of his best friend and his beloved left Obito Uchiha stunned, followed by endless resentment. This intense resentment stimulated his brain and blood, generating a massive surge of ocular power into his eyes, instantly turning them blood red, with the three tomoe slowly rotating.

Meanwhile, Tamura Hao had already flashed over and placed his palm on Uchiha Obito's eyes, sensing the process of the eye power merging with the eyes, as well as the generation of that eye power.

"If you want to provoke that idiot, don't use me as a prop."

At this moment, Kakashi, whose neck was spurting blood, sat up straight and made a comment, then took back the White Fang sword and shook off the fish blood on it.

Although I was initially stunned, I knew that the guy was faking it when I didn't feel any pain.

"Haojun, please don't make jokes like that again."

Nohara Rin was also full of resentment, wiping the fish blood off her neck with the towel that Shizune handed her. Shizune was still holding a blood-stained syringe in her hand; it was this thing that had just sprayed blood.

Upon hearing the goddess's voice, Obito Uchiha, filled with resentment, finally realized what was happening, but he was still filled with rage.

"Tamura Hiroshi, I challenge you to a duel!"

Obito Uchiha slapped away the hand that was pressing on his eyes, gritting his teeth in anger.

"I accept your challenge."

Tamura Hao was in a good mood after obtaining the data. He accepted Uchiha Obito's challenge, took out the golden hammer from the sealing scroll, and slammed it heavily on the ground, causing the surrounding ground to tremble.

The ground tremors calmed Obito Uchiha down a little, but he was still furious.

"Obito, congratulations on opening your Sharingan!"

Nohara Rin, who was standing nearby, kindly offered a way out and also sincerely congratulated her teammate on finally awakening his Sharingan, and on the very first try, he had three tomoe.

"I'll beat you to a pulp someday."

Obito sat down angrily, his goodwill towards that bastard completely gone; he was an absolute and utter scoundrel.

The boy's anger made Tamura Hiroshi raise an eyebrow, and then he began to analyze the situation seriously.

"I killed Rin first. At that time, you hadn't awakened your Sharingan yet, but you awakened it immediately after killing Nishi. According to the theory that the Sharingan needs strong stimulation to awaken, Nishi was obviously more important to you."

So, is Xijun your true love?

"you……"

Obito Uchiha was so angry he almost vomited blood. "I just said something harsh, why are you digging this hole for me?"

Shameless!

"I told you not to drag me into this."

Kakashi was also very frustrated.

"Huh? Tsuchi-kun, your eyes seem different."

Might Guy then realized that Obito's eyes had changed.

"Tsuchi-kun, you were the one who secretly told me you were willing to give everything to protect Rin. Now that I've opened your eyes, why are you blaming me?"

Tamura Hao believes that Uchiha Obito lacks a sense of contract, having secretly asked him for the secret to becoming stronger while dealing with fish, and even saying he was willing to pay any price.

Now you're full of resentment towards yourself, which is not good, not good at all.

"I didn't say that!"

Obito Uchiha instinctively retorted, glancing cautiously at his beloved beside him as he spoke.

"I know a little illusion magic. I can send you all some past memories. Would you like me to send them?"

Tamura Hiroshi wouldn't tolerate this kind of young punk.

"you……"

Obito Uchiha was so angry that he couldn't speak again. How could this person be so annoying?

"Tsunade-sensei said that the Uchiha clan's Sharingan has an even higher level than the three-tomoe Sharingan, the Mangekyou Sharingan, which is an eye that only awakens when a loved one dies."

This time, Rin's death only caused Tsuchi-kun to awaken the third tomoe, but not the Mangekyou Sharingan. This shows that Tsuchi-kun did not regard Rin as a close and beloved person...

"Haojun, it's my fault, it's all my fault, please stop!"

Obito Uchiha's face turned almost green. He promptly knelt down and surrendered. How could he possibly win Rin's heart if he kept talking?

"That's more like it!"

Seeing the boy give in, Tamura Hao finally showed a relieved expression, but it made Kakashi and Nohara Rin roll their eyes, realizing for the first time how shameless this classmate was.

He was a good student in school and received praise from teachers many times. He was a model student and everyone else's child. How did he change like this after graduation?

I've heard that Lady Tsunade has a rather volatile temper and is a gambler. Could it be that I've been influenced by Lady Tsunade?

"Obito-kun, congratulations on awakening the three-tomoe Sharingan."

Shizune congratulated Obito Uchiha and handed him her small mirror so he could see for himself.

After taking the mirror and looking at the three-tomoe Sharingan, Obito Uchiha's mood improved, and he even grinned foolishly.

I, Obito Uchiha, am truly a genius. Not only did I awaken my Sharingan at the age of eleven, but I also awakened it with three tomoe. My future is absolutely limitless.

From then on, he could punch Kakashi, kick Tamura Hiroshi, become invincible in Konoha, become Hokage, marry Rin, and reach the pinnacle of life! (End of Chapter)
