Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Following the guidance of the swirling vanilla, the ninja hawk flew directly above that location.

Then, ten Akimichi clan ninjas followed Akimichi Torifu and jumped down, plummeting rapidly downwards.

The ninjas from the Nara and Yamanaka clans also huddled together and jumped down quickly, only opening their parachutes when they were almost at the ground.

Although the landing distance was short, because the ground below was soft sand, coupled with the strong physique of a ninja, the boost from chakra, and the impact of the landing motion, he was not injured.

"war!"

Having activated his butterfly transformation mode and used the super-expansion technique to transform into a fifty-meter-tall giant, Akimichi Torifu roared and swung his massive naginata at the hidden stronghold.

It was built beneath the desert, covered with a layer of yellow sand. You couldn't tell it was a base with the naked eye, but your senses would never be wrong.

The ten members of Akimichi Choza also used the Super Multiplication Technique to transform into giants thirty meters tall, swinging their enormous weapons at once.

With the eleven massive weapons crashing down, the hidden underground stronghold collapsed instantly, killing the Sand Ninja inside.

However, Akimichi Torifu and the others knew that this kind of attack could not kill the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, so they continued their attack, swinging their huge weapons and smashing them wildly.

With the sensory positioning abilities of the mountain clan ninjas, they are not afraid of missing their targets.

"roar!"

After a while of this, a roar suddenly came from underground, followed by sand gushing out like a volcanic eruption, sweeping away Akimichi Torifu and the others, and then a huge creature crawled out from underground.

It was a fat, round monster with an extremely large body. Even with its front paws on the ground, its height was comparable to Akimichi Torifu in its super-expanded state. If it stood upright, it would be at least seventy meters tall, and with its tail, its length would be over a hundred meters.

Its sheer size is terrifying, not to mention its combat power.

"Truly worthy of being called a tailed beast!"

Looking at the enormous One-Tailed Beast and the oppressive feeling brought by its massive chakra, Tamura Hao couldn't help but sigh.

If the single tail is so terrifying, it's hard to imagine how powerful the nine-tailed beast is, let alone the ten-tailed beast, which is a collection of tailed beasts.

"Is that a tailed beast?"

Shizune and Might Guy, who came down with them, were shocked. The oppressive feeling of that chakra was too strong, much stronger than the demigod of Amegakure back then.

"That's the One-Tailed Beast, one of the nine tailed beasts."

Tamura Hiroshi did not join the attack, because that was not his mission this time. The mission of the three of them was to protect Nara Shikaku and the others who were performing the joint spell.

At this moment, Nara Shikaku was standing with nine clansmen. Behind them was a powerful flashlight, which cast a huge shadow on Ichio, merging with the shadow. Then, he used his full power to fix it in place using a secret technique.

One person's shadow technique alone is far from enough to shake One-Tail, but ten people working together is quite powerful, not to mention that they did not freeze One-Tail's entire body, but only its tail.

Meanwhile, the ten members of Yamanaka Inoichi's group also joined forces to use a mysterious technique to interfere with the One-Tailed Beast and the One-Tailed Jinchuriki within it.

"cut!"

Seizing the opportunity, Akimichi Torifu swung his massive naginata down, channeling all of his Butterfly Transformation Chakra into the blade.

At the same time, all ten members of Akimichi Choza also attacked, swinging their massive weapons and smashing them against the back of the naginata.

The combined strength of the eleven people forcefully severed the tail.

But that wasn't all. Suddenly, five golden chains appeared, pulling away the severed tail and sealing it in a jar. It was Vanilla Whirlpool who had made the move.

Her body was indeed severely depleted before, but Tamura Hao had long since replenished it with his life force, and even greatly improved it, now able to use five of the Vajra Sealing Techniques.

"roar!"

The pain of losing its tail drove the One-Tailed Beast into a frenzy, but Akimichi Torifu and the others were no pushovers either. They wielded their weapons and worked together in perfect harmony to gang up on the One-Tailed Beast.

Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi used their magic to assist from the outside, completely overwhelming the One-Tailed Beast.

Most importantly, he is not yet in his complete form. Nearly half of his strength is bound by the Jinchūriki's sealing techniques. Moreover, his Jinchūriki is old and his body cannot withstand his full power. Otherwise, he would not be so frustrated.

However, Akimichi Torifu and the others were also in a bad situation. Although they severely injured the One-Tailed Beast, they were unable to kill it.

The One-Tailed Beast's defense is already among the best of the nine tailed beasts, not to mention that this is a desert, making it extremely difficult to kill it here.

Fortunately, their real target was not the One-Tailed Beast, but its jinchūriki.

If the Jinchūriki is killed, the One-Tailed Beast can be indirectly killed by sealing the tailed beast in the form that binds their lives together.

The current challenge is finding the Jinchuriki whose body is hidden by the One-Tailed Beast. After sealing the One-Tailed Beast's tail into a ninja tool that had been prepared beforehand, Uzumaki Vanilla is focusing all her efforts on sensing it, but it will still take some time.

Time passed quickly. Suddenly, Tamura Hao turned his head to look behind him and sensed two streams of chakra a thousand meters away, which were moving rapidly toward him. One of the chakra streams was very strong, no weaker than that of Toriyama and Minato Namikaze.

He is clearly a Kage-level expert.

"Is it Rasa? Or the Chiyo siblings?"

Having considered the current Kage-level shinobi of Sunagakure, Tamura Hao couldn't be certain for a moment, but since he was already here, he had to face the challenge.

"There are enemies coming from behind. I'll go and hold them off. You guys continue to guard."

After saying something to his two teammates, Tamura Hao leaped backward, preparing to stop the opponent from a hundred meters away so as not to interfere with Shikaku and the others who were performing the spell.

At the same time, it enters butterfly mode, and the butterfly transformation seal on its back is activated, unfolding a pair of purple butterfly wings.

That wasn't all. The Yin Seal between his eyebrows opened, and the massive chakra further enhanced his physical activity. At the same time, the Butterfly Transformation Chakra he was empowered to expand rapidly, enveloping his entire body like flames.

Once he reached a hundred meters away, he decisively used the Multiply Technique, transforming into a ten-meter-tall giant.

The psychic scroll unfolded, revealing a new generation of giant axe and shield.

To accommodate the current scale of the multiplication technique, both the giant axe and shield have been upgraded, now measuring nine meters in length and becoming significantly heavier.

"Iron Sand? The Third Kazekage? Sasori of the Red Sand? Are they also eyeing the One-Tailed Jinchuriki? Do they want to use the One-Tailed's chakra to strengthen the Third Kazekage's puppet?"

Seeing the figure flying in using a cloud of black matter, Tamura Hao immediately thought of the Third Kazekage and the Iron Sand Magnet Release, and then Sasori of the Red Sand.

"The Technique of Multiplication".

Seeing the giant blocking his way, Sasori recognized it as Konoha's Expansion Technique, meaning it was indeed someone from Konoha who had come, and that the opponent had attacked the One-Tailed Beast.

Ignoring it further, he continued to control the Third Kazekage puppet, manipulating the sand iron to fly, but flew even higher, not intending to waste time here.

Before they could even fly over, a deafening roar erupted, sending countless pieces of metal flying across a vast area, making it impossible to dodge.

Most importantly, it was too sudden; Sasori of the Red Sand hadn't expected his opponent to have such a method.

The sand mat formed by the iron sand was shattered, and Sasori of the Red Sand could only lie on the back of the Third Kazekage puppet, but he also had many cuts on his body, and many pieces of iron were embedded in his body.

That wasn't the end of it; the second wave of attacks followed, still consisting of a wide-ranging barrage of metal fragments.

This was the broadsword mine that Tamura Hao unleashed with the help of his shield. Although it was a bit far away, it was enough to stop Sasori of the Red Sand.

This time, Sasori of the Red Sand was prepared and used the Third Kazekage's puppet to defend himself.

Countless black iron filings emerged from the Third Kazekage's body, forming a steel wall that blocked the iron fragments.

"Magnetic Release: Iron Sand Rain!"

The massive amount of iron sand formed countless fine needles that shot out, but unfortunately, they were all buffered and blocked by the butterfly-shaped chakra on Tamura Hao's body, not to mention the shield and a set of heavy armor inside.

"Magnetic Release: Giant Iron Sand Needle!"

The iron sand deformed again, forming an even larger spear that shot out.

The sand-iron spear carried even greater power, eventually piercing through the outer layer of butterfly chakra and reaching the inner armor, but that was all.

"The ability to cause trouble."

Sasori of the Red Sand, having injected several doses of antidote into his body, had a gloomy expression, but could only continue fighting by controlling the Third Kazekage puppet.

"Magnetic Release: Iron Sand Colossus!"

A massive surge of iron sand enveloped the two, shaping a 20-meter-tall steel colossus, which then formed a sharp-horned giant hammer in its hand.

The opponent's weak defensive tactics are ineffective; only this powerful offensive method can be used.

However, he didn't know that this was exactly what Tamura Hiroshi wanted, as he was now best at dealing with such big guys.

"The Dance of Shield and Axe!"

He spun rapidly and swung his giant axe and shield down.

At the same time, the powerful chakra unleashed by the Yin Seal, combined with the surge of Butterfly Transformation Chakra, caused the air to form an even larger whirlwind.

The Butterfly Chakra itself can directly enhance attacks, and after being transformed by star energy, its strength is even greater, giving the resulting whirlwind a powerful tearing force.

However, the most powerful attack is still the physical giant axe and shield. The massive amount of chakra sealed by Yin allows Tamura Hao to unleash the maximum explosive power of the Super Strength Technique in its multiplied state, and the combined power is unimaginable.

The Iron Sand Colossus swung its horned hammer down, but it was smashed open by the rapidly spinning giant axe and shield, and even shattered some of its parts.

The shattered iron sand was torn apart by the storm brought about by the dance of the shield and axe, and became uncontrollably infected.

Before the iron sand hammer could strike again, Tamura Hao's whirlwind of the Axe and Shield Dance had already made contact with the iron sand colossus, rapidly striking its body.

The ever-increasing inertia made the giant axe and shield carry even greater force, and in no time they shattered the legs of the Iron Sand Colossus. The iron sand was shredded by the whirlwind and lost control.

Then came the torso, which fell down and still couldn't escape being smashed and shredded. However, even after the torso was shredded, Sasori of the Red Sand and the Third Kazekage puppet were still not found.

Tamura Hao was not surprised by this, and the next moment he used the centrifugal force of the rotation to throw out the giant axe and the giant shield one after the other.

"Bang!"

"Clang!"

The giant axe first smashed into a patch of sand, embedding itself deeply, and then the giant shield struck, precisely hitting the axe and driving it further into the sand.

Tamura Hiroshi had his sensory abilities active the whole time, and he sensed Sasori's escape from the underground sands using the Third Kazekage's puppet.

Although the attack did not hit the Red Sand Scorpion beneath the sand, the immense squeezing force further damaged it.

He rushed over, grabbed the giant axe and shield, and slammed them down again in the direction he sensed. Even if he couldn't directly hit the opponent, the enormous impact and squeezing force would be enough to further injure them.

The most important thing is to stall him. His Claymore mine fragments are all contaminated with poisonous ore. It is not a biological toxin and will not change due to the high temperature of the explosion, so it can still be effective and cannot be neutralized with an antidote.

Sasori of the Red Sand won't last long.

Sure enough, after several minutes of this pursuit, Tamura Hao sensed that Sasori's chakra had finally stopped moving and was rapidly weakening.

He remained unfazed and continued to slam his giant axe and shield down for two or three minutes until Sasori's chakra was almost completely depleted before he stopped.

They crouched down and dug through the sand, eventually unearthing the two deformed bodies.

The Third Kazekage's puppet body was nearly shattered, and Sasori of the Red Sand was also in bad shape, with his limbs twisted and his torso collapsed, clearly indicating that he was not going to survive.

"Fortunately, he hasn't gone down the path of art yet, otherwise this method wouldn't have been able to kill him."

Looking at Sasori's inhuman body, Tamura Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

Sasori of the Red Sand at this stage is far from being as powerful as he is in the future. Not only is he still only at the Jonin level, but his body has not been transformed into a human puppet form.

That's why he was injured by his broadsword mines; otherwise, it wouldn't have been easy to take him down.

"The human body is indeed too fragile."

Sasori of the Red Sand, bleeding from his mouth and nose, was extremely unwilling. His artistic path had not yet reached its limit, and the Third Kazekage's puppet technique had not yet been fully developed. How could he die here?

Ignoring Sasori's resentment, Tamura Hao grabbed him and quickly ran back.

This is a powerful figure with a lineage; we must quickly read his memories while they are still fresh.

"Silence, read his memories."

He gestured for Shizune to quickly access the memories. Although Tamura Hao had also practiced the secret techniques of the mountains, he used them more to cultivate the Yin attribute.

In comparison, Silence is more accomplished in terms of the secret techniques of the mountains themselves.

Without the slightest hesitation, Shizune took out a syringe from her ninja tool bag and inserted it into a blood vessel in the nasal cavity, injecting the medicine directly into Sasori's brain, in conjunction with this drug to read Sasori's memories.

Knowing her boyfriend's personality and with limited time, she didn't search for information-related memories, but only those related to cultivation.

Tamura Hiroshi and Might Guy continued to guard the side, vigilantly watching everything around them, including the air.

Leaving aside the battle that had already ended, the situation on the other side, where everyone was ganging up on the One-Tailed Beast, finally changed.

"The jinchūriki is located at the neck."

Vanilla Uzumaki finally sensed the chakra belonging to the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, right in the neck area of ​​the One-Tailed.

Having been locked onto by the Whirlpool Herb, Yamanaka Inoichi immediately used the Spirit Transformation Technique to send his soul rushing towards the neck of the one-tailed creature.

At the same time, Nara Shikaku and the others used all their skills to freeze the One-Tailed Beast for a second, and Akimichi Torifu and the others attacked together again with great coordination, cutting the One-Tailed Beast's neck in half.

Yamanaka Inoichi's soul rushed into the One-Tailed Jinchuriki's mental space through the opening, forcibly awakening his consciousness.

They had already investigated the Tailed Beasts, especially since he had used the Spirit Transformation Technique to infiltrate the mental spaces of some high-ranking members of Sunagakure multiple times to search for intelligence, thus learning about the weaknesses of Sunagakure's Tailed Beast Sealing Technique.

Once the dormant consciousness of the One-Tailed Jinchuriki is awakened, the One-Tailed's chakra will be suppressed by the sealing technique.

"Damn humans!"

Sensing that its chakra was being sealed and suppressed, the One-Tailed Beast roared in resentment.

No matter how unwilling he was, he was still unable to resist the power of the sealing technique. His massive body eventually disappeared into the Jinchūriki's body, revealing the old man who was being protected inside.

The old man was quite resolute; before the One-Tailed Beast could fully retract its body, he used sand to crush himself and commit suicide, lest Konoha take the One-Tailed Beast away.

Although this would cause the One-Tailed Beast to die, the Tailed Beast would not actually be killed. In a few years, the One-Tailed Beast would be reborn in the desert, and the village would only need to capture it again to create a new Tailed Beast Jinchuriki.

The Tailed Beasts are crucial to the balance between the five great ninja villages and are an important force for the villages, which cannot be lost.

"That's decisive!"

Seeing the One-Tailed Jinchuriki decisively commit suicide, Akimichi Torifu could only sigh at the other party's ruthlessness and decisiveness.

However, they didn't intend to capture a single one this time, otherwise the subsequent problems would be very troublesome, and some people in the village would definitely have their own ideas.

Dispelling the Hyper-Magnification Technique and Butterfly Mode both consume a significant amount of energy, especially in high-intensity battles.

Choza Akimichi and the others also came out of their trances, having lost weight and slimmed down considerably.

Seeing that the battle was over, Tamura Hao, holding a flashlight, waved it towards the night sky, and the ninja hawks circling high in the sky understood and quickly flew down.

Without delay, everyone used their Body Flicker Technique to jump onto the ninja hawk's back as it flew down and swept past.

"Is the battle over?"

Looking at the lights shining from the night sky, Minato Namikaze, who was burying explosive tags in the desert, was stunned. The battle was over in less than ten minutes?

Despite his shock, Minato Namikaze immediately sensed the Flying Thunder God kunai that Shikaku Nara had handed over and used a technique to teleport there.

"Did they kill the One-Tailed Beast?"

Seeing everyone's disheveled appearance, especially the thinner Akimichi Torifu and the others, Minato Namikaze knew that a fierce battle must have taken place.

After everyone else went down, he used the Flying Thunder God Kunai that had fallen earlier to bury explosive tags in the area that was the only way from the Sand Ninja camp to the battlefield, and he was unaware of the battle situation there.

"We only managed to severely injure the Jinchuriki by surprise. With our strength, we couldn't kill the Tailed Beast. In the end, the One-Tailed Jinchuriki was too badly injured and committed suicide. Otherwise, if we had captured him alive, the war here could have ended earlier."

Who knows how many more will fall on the battlefield next.

Nara Shikaku sighed, indicating that the predetermined goal had not been achieved.

"Tailed beasts are indeed difficult to deal with."

Minato Namikaze wholeheartedly agreed. He had come into contact with the Nine-Tails inside the Nine-Tails and knew very well how terrifying the Tailed Beasts were. Apart from sealing techniques, the only person in the ninja world capable of killing a Tailed Beast was probably the legendary First Hokage.

The mission itself was to severely injure the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, and ideally capture him alive, but unfortunately the latter was far too difficult.

According to intelligence, he was a Jinchūriki who had almost mastered the power of the One-Tailed Beast, and the strength he could unleash was even greater than that of a current Ninth-Rank Jinchūriki.

"At least the One-Tailed Beast Jinchuriki died, which will make the upcoming battle a little easier. At least we won't have to worry about being bombarded by Tailed Beast Balls."

Yamanaka Ino smiled, his face pale. He had been exhausted this time and had almost capsized.

That Jinchūriki's spiritual consciousness was too strong, even stronger than my own spiritualized soul. I was forcibly blasted out just by awakening its spiritual consciousness. No wonder it was born a monk.

Watching the three people talking over there, Tamura Hao kept a low profile while blocking the view of Vortex Vanilla behind him.

The harvested tail must never be known to outsiders.
