Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 389 Tailed Beast Dharma Form

During dinner, all four girls, including Jingyin, gave me resentful looks.

They've really been through a lot lately, and the three of them, including Shikaku, have been strictly following that guy's suggestions.

I'm your girlfriend!

"Are you angry?"

Tamura Hao pulled his girlfriend into his arms, kissed her deeply, and then showed off a delicate, silky touch.

"snort!"

Being kissed so deeply, especially with three close friends watching, made Jingyin's fair face turn red instantly, but she still let out a soft hum, indicating that she wasn't so easily coaxed.

"You know that Tsunade developed hemophobia because of the tragic death of her loved ones. I don't want to go through the same thing as Tsunade. All I can do is harden my heart and improve your strength."

I want to marry you, have a hundred children, and grow old together.

Tamura sighed and said that he really meant well, so that one day he wouldn't have to go to your grave to pay his respects.

"Who would want to marry you and have a hundred kids? Do you think I'm a pig?"

She retorted silently, but her shyness only deepened, which made Tamura Hao realize that his girlfriend's anger had been mostly dispelled.

"It's too late if you disagree now. Once you're an adult, I'll carry you back to my family home to warm your bed."

He exudes a domineering CEO vibe, and Tamura Hao is quite satisfied with his girlfriend, not to mention that they've been together for several years.

Although his initial approach to Jingyin was to scheme to make her his teacher, Tian was not the kind of scumbag who would use someone and then discard them; naturally, he had to see things through to the end.

"I'm not going to warm your bed!"

That domineering manner made Jingyin even more shy and sweet, and she said things that were not what she really meant.

The three girls, who were preparing to eat rice, suddenly felt less hungry when they saw that scene. They exchanged glances, decisively took the grilled fish from the fire, and ran away to eat it somewhere else.

I'll let you two, you shameless bastards, starve to death!

"My fish!"

Jingyin realized what was happening and immediately shouted that she was hungry.

"Stop chasing them, let's go eat at Kai's place."

Tamura Hao did not give chase, but instead brought his girlfriend to Nara Shikaku and his group of four.

"Just wait a little longer, it'll be ready soon."

Nara Shikaku said with a smile, using his shadow to flip the grilled fish on the grill.

The fish in the sea are huge; you can easily catch a fish several meters long, and one is enough for them to eat.

Might Guy and Akimichi Choza stared intently at the grilled fish. As body cultivators, their cultivation was already very taxing, so food was essential for replenishing their energy.

Once the surface of the fish was grilled, the group took turns cutting it off by hand. Tamura Hiroaki, Dojo, and Might Guy even made a basin.

After cutting off the outer layer of meat, Nara Shikaku manipulated his shadow to brush the sauce onto the inner layer of fish meat again, then flipped and grilled it.

His mouth wasn't idle either; Yingzi rolled up slices of meat and ate them one by one.

After such a long period of study and hard work, although I haven't yet created a human-shaped shadow, or even formed a living entity, I have greatly improved my control over the shadow.

Especially after incorporating the energy of the stars, the shadow can be slightly freed from its constraints and manifest itself, allowing it to perform more actions.

"Haven't you found a breakthrough opportunity yet?"

After they had destroyed the fish and left only its skeleton, Tamura Hao inquired about the three of them breaking through to the next level.

"That breakthrough wasn't easy."

Shan Zhonghai is not in a hurry, because there's no use in being in a hurry.

Breaking through to that level is not so simple. Not only do you need sufficient qualifications and accumulation, but you also need sufficient opportunities and even a catalyst.

There are at least a thousand Jonin in the vast ninja world, but no more than fifty are Kage-level ninjas, which shows how difficult it is.

"We're not geniuses like Minato-kun; it'll be enough if we can break through before the end of this Shinobi World War."

Nara Shikaku also maintained a stable mindset. Since opportunities were hard to find, he could only continue to deepen his experience and accumulate knowledge.

Theoretically speaking, as long as you accumulate enough knowledge, you can make a breakthrough.

"Minato-senpai's talent is indeed rare."

Tamura Hao greatly admired Minato Namikaze's talent, considering him to be the pinnacle of talent among those without the Otsutsuki bloodline.

The group chatted for a while before going back to rest. The next morning, they set off on the Ninja Hawk.

However, they did not proceed in a straight line, but instead took a detour, finding a deserted island in the bay between the Land of Tea and the Land of Wind to drop off Tamura Hao, while the others rode the Ninja Hawk back to Kikyo Mountain Fortress.

The next afternoon, the ninja hawk flew in, carrying two more people.

"Kid, is this the place you've dug for your own burial?"

Before the ninja hawk could land, Tsunade leaped down first, her chakra wings unfurling as she floated to the ground, glaring fiercely at the traitorous disciple.

"Tsunade-sensei used a weapon?"

Tamura Hao's gaze fell on the greatsword that Fat Sheep Teacher was carrying. He had seen that sword in the Senju clan's secret vault. It was left behind by the First Hokage, and he had even used it to fight against Uchiha Madara. It was quite heavy, weighing at least 300 pounds.

The reason he was waiting here was because he knew that he had to fight this fat sheep teacher to vent his anger. At the same time, he also wanted to use this battle to see how far he was from those top experts.

"It was specifically taken out to kill you."

Tsunade took the greatsword off her back; she had made a special trip back to the village to retrieve it.

There was no other way; it would be too disadvantageous to catch that kid's axe with my fists. My great-grandfather's greatsword paired with his superhuman strength technique would be the perfect match.

Today, I'll use this sword to clean house!

"The students don't want to die yet."

Tamura Hao activated the Yin Seal and Butterfly Transformation Mode, then used the Multiplying Technique to transform into a 15-meter-tall giant, with a giant axe and shield appearing, and swung the axe down.

Tsunade also activated the Star Seal, and purple chakra quickly condensed into a suit of armor.

He swung the first greatsword to meet the attack, and the two weapons, vastly different in size, clashed.

"Clang!"

With a loud bang, Tsunade herself was unharmed, but the ground beneath her feet shattered and caved in, demonstrating the immense force of the impact.

That wasn't all. Tamura Hiroshi swung his shield down with his left hand, aiming to smash it onto the axe to increase the force.

"He's using this trick again!"

Seeing the massive shield crashing down, Tsunade couldn't help but recall the time she was tricked by this brat during her trial.

With a sudden burst of strength, he swung his greatsword, sending the giant axe flying, before dodging and preparing to launch a counterattack.

Tamura Hao, who had been locking onto Fat Sheep Teacher's chakra, reacted quickly, turning the giant shield that was swinging towards the giant axe around and smashing it into the ground to intercept it.

The two engaged in fierce combat, while Nara Shikaku and the others watched from the back of the Ninja Hawk. Akimichi Torifu also arrived.

"Can Tsunade kill him?"

Kushina Uzumaki immediately inquired about the outcome of the battle, expressing her strong desire for Tsunade to chop that wretched brat to pieces.

"Killing him is certainly possible, but today we'll cripple him at most."

Vanilla Uzumaki glanced at Kushina and knew that although Tsunade was still angry, most of it had subsided after seeing Kushina being rescued. This time, she would at most teach that guy a lesson.

"Xiao Hao's mastery of the Multiplying Technique is far superior to yours, Ding Zuo."

Akimichi Torifu looked down at the two fighting below, quite satisfied.

Don't be fooled by the fact that that little guy only used the Multiply Technique to a height of fifteen meters; he was able to control it perfectly, and the speed of the burst was not slow at all.

This is a drawback of the Multiplying Technique: while increasing size can enhance strength, it also slows down reaction time, which is due to the slower transmission speed of nerve signals.

While it can be enhanced to some extent by using chakra, that requires extremely high control.

That kid was very talented in this area, directly integrating chakra threads into his nerves, and with the addition of yin attribute, the nerve conduction speed was no worse than in his original state.

This is the most perfect display of combat power.

"It's too difficult to reach Xiao Hao's level."

Choza Akimichi scratched his head. This was really difficult; it wasn't something that could be achieved simply by trying hard.

"Therefore, you need to learn to anticipate your opponent's fighting methods in battle, and even lure your opponent into your fighting rhythm, in order to make up for your slow reaction time."

Akimichi Tokifu gave him a cheerful pointer. He knew that Xiao Hao's path was difficult, but the Akimichi family had their own set of fighting methods passed down for many years.

Besides relying on the cooperation of the Nara and Yamanaka clan ninjas, they are also capable of making changes on their own.

The reason I didn't teach Choza before was because Choza was too young and needed more attention to physical training and chakra improvement.

Now that I've reached a bottleneck, it's the perfect time to start practicing in this area.

Everyone watched the battle below intently, listening to Akimichi Torifu's occasional pointers.

"The Dance of Shield and Axe!"

After a warm-up, Tamura Hao decisively unleashed his strongest combat technique, the Dance of Shield and Axe.

Its massive body spun rapidly, creating a whirlwind tens of meters high, and the force carried by the heavy giant axe and shield continued to increase.

He leaned forward, swinging his giant axe and shield at the fat teacher.

Tsunade did not dodge, but swung her greatsword to meet the attack head-on.

He unleashed his superhuman strength to its fullest extent, using the sharpness of the first greatsword to shatter the giant axe and shield that were being swung around into pieces.

After less than thirty seconds of this exchange, Tamura Hao had to retreat, looking at the axe handle and the giant shield handle in his hands, feeling utterly helpless.

There's no way around it; the sheer size requires a lot of materials, making it even more expensive. We simply can't afford to use top-tier materials for casting, especially that chakra-conducting metal.

The giant axe and shield had been deformed by Fat Sheep Teacher's fists before, so it's not surprising that they were shattered when they used the first generation greatsword.

"Kid, use whatever other tricks you have up your sleeve, or I'll have to slice you into pieces."

With the First Generation Greatsword slung over her shoulder, Tsunade wore a smug expression.

"There's one more move, Tsunade-sensei, get ready."

Tamura Hao released the Expansion Technique and used the Sage Clan's talent, which he had only recently learned, to fuse Yin-attribute chakra and Butterfly Transformation chakra, thereby drawing in natural energy to merge, and finally incorporating the Four-Tails' chakra.

A ten-meter-tall, four-tailed energy being appeared, radiating intense heat that melted the sand beneath its feet into magma, which then slowly expanded.

This is similar to the Nine-Tails energy that Naruto manifests; it's not a physical entity, but it's just as powerful.

This is a killing move formed by Tamura Hao by fusing natural energy, butterfly chakra, yin attribute chakra, and four-tailed chakra.

The Butterfly Chakra was modified by star energy and was naturally adept at using this form change.

The talents of the Immortal Clan do not necessarily have to cultivate into the form of the Thousand-Armed Guanyin; that mainly depends on personal preference. In addition, with the presence of the Tailed Beast Chakra, Tamura Hao transformed into the Tailed Beast form.

That wasn't all. He guided the magma formed from the melting sand beneath his feet into the Four-Tailed Dharma Form, creating a substantial magma body with even greater strength and power.

"We've obtained the Four-Tails' chakra!"

Tsunade was surprised. She could naturally tell that it was the Four-Tails form, and that it really had chakra and the Lava Release technique.

"Hound of the Underworld!"

Without wasting any words, Tamura Hao controlled the Four-Tails Dharma Form to swing out its right fist, and its right arm quickly extended to strike.

Tsunade was not afraid. She swung her greatsword to meet the attack, and even added star chakra to it, expanding it into a purple giant sword more than three meters long.

The greatsword slashed through, cleaving the incoming fist in two.

Undeterred, Tamura Hao followed up with a left punch, while simultaneously retracting his right arm to form another fist and continue striking, absorbing the lava beneath his feet to replenish his strength.

That's right, he borrowed this technique from Admiral Sakazuki Akainu from One Piece, but unfortunately, he only managed to create a knock-off version called "Ghost Dog".

The subsequent Great Fireball was undoubtedly more powerful, and could be considered an upgraded version of the Hound of the Underworld. Unfortunately, it took time to explore and create, and subsequent versions were equally difficult.

"He actually did it."

Akimichi Torifu, riding on the back of the Ninja Hawk, couldn't stop smiling. He naturally knew about the little guy's plan to obtain the power of the Tailed Beasts. He didn't have much hope, after all, it was the power of the Tailed Beasts.

I just didn't expect it to actually happen, and so quickly.

Nara Shikaku and the others were equally surprised and delighted. Although they knew that he had been cultivating and pondering this before, they did not expect that he would succeed so quickly.

This is already at the Kage level of combat power.

"It's pretty good, but not enough!"

Tsunade charged forward, enduring the rapid onslaught of magma fists. When she was about ten meters away, she suddenly swung her greatsword.

The purple lightsaber, originally three meters long, instantly extended, severing the four-tailed dharma form at the waist.

Since it's not a real four-tailed beast, this level of difficulty is no challenge for her.

The four-tailed dharma form was cut in half at the waist, its body collapsing and turning into magma that merged into the magma pool below.

Tsunade looked at the lava and knew that the brat hadn't lost yet, and he hadn't even used up the One-Tailed Beast's chakra.

Furthermore, the attack just now wasn't strong enough to destroy the Four-Tails' chakra. Perhaps the energy form of the Four-Tails can be reformed, since it is an energy form.

Then the magma in the magma pool suddenly surged out, crashing towards Tsunade like a tidal wave.

"open!"

Tsunade, who was prepared, swung her sword and cut through the magma, but found a large sphere that was rapidly spinning and rolling toward her.

"Three tails?"

The appearance of that large sphere startled Tsunade, leaving her no choice but to swing her sword again.

However, the Three-Tailed Dharma Form's defensive power is much higher than that of the Four-Tailed Dharma Form, especially in its current spinning state.

The three-tailed dharma form was not cut open, only one-third of it was cut in, which did not affect the dharma form's spinning attack.

The rapidly spinning Three-Tails Dharma Form crushed down, and Tsunade could only block it with her greatsword, but her body was slowly pressed into the ground.

This move was originally possessed by the Three-Tails, but Tamura Hao used it based on the Akimichi family's Human Bomber Tank Secret Technique, and the effect was similar.

"Tsunade-sensei, you should use the Yin Seal. You'll lose if you rely on this level alone."

Tamura Hao's voice rang out, revealing that his goal for today's battle was to force Tsunade to use the Yin Seal.

"That alone is not enough."

Tsunade, who was just about to use the Yin Seal, immediately became stubborn.

The chakra flow unleashed the super-powerful burst of the Super Strength Technique, and with a slash of the sword, it forcefully severed the rapidly spinning Three-Tails Dharma Image.

Before she could even catch her breath, the severed Three-Tails form collapsed, quickly transforming into a large cat burning with blue flames. It opened its mouth wide and unleashed a Fire Release: Rasengan burning with blue flames, directly slamming Tsunade deep into the ground.

The Flame Release: Rasengan burned and destroyed the star chakra armor on Tsunade's body, which was the Two-Tails' Dharma Image created by Tamura Hao.

This thing only requires replacing the chakra of the tailed beast, which is one of its core components, so it's very simple for him.

Moreover, because they were sealed in sequence, the chakra of the four tailed beasts not only did not conflict, but also got along very well, making the conversion very easy.

"break!"

A purple blade of energy slashed out, simultaneously cutting through the Flame Release: Rasengan and the Two-Tails Technique. Immediately afterwards, Tsunade flapped her chakra wings and soared into the sky, no longer intending to engage in close combat with that traitor.

That's a huge loss!

Before it could even take off, several sand arms shot out from the beach in pursuit.

Tamura Hao had transformed into the One-Tailed Dharma Form at some point, and the One-Tailed Dharma Form could exert even greater combat power here, because the beach had no shortage of sand, and even the aggregated form was larger.

Controlling his sand arm to pursue from a distance, Tamura Hao used his sensory ninjutsu to lock onto it firmly.

Faced with the sand arms that were chasing after her, Tsunade could only use her chakra wings to fly and dodge. The two overloaded bursts had already damaged her body's muscles and bones, especially her arms, which were now sore and weak.

She needs time to recover, so she can only hide for now.

Of course, she didn't fly too far, staying within a hundred meters.

As the original God of Gamblers, she has her own pride!

"That big bad guy is that strong?"

Xia Rixing was very surprised. She had also cultivated with that big bad guy, but she really found it hard to believe that he had already improved to this level.

"It's just an explosion fueled by external forces."

Kushina Uzumaki felt a pang of jealousy. She was no stranger to the Tailed Beasts; after being brought to Konoha, she had been taught a great deal about the Tailed Beasts and Jinchuriki by Grandma Mito, and she was well aware of the immense power of the Tailed Beasts.

As long as one can borrow the power of the Tailed Beasts, the minimum level of combat power is Kage-level. A single Tailed Beast Cloak can make one immune to attacks from ninjas below Kage level.

How could that brat control so many tailed beast powers?

How exactly did they do it?

Silently watching, but with sparkling eyes, she was very proud of the strength her boyfriend... no, her fiancé was showing.

"My youth was indeed not as fiery as Haojun's; I need to cultivate even harder."

Mitekai was even more excited, wishing he could join in, and he also decided to work even harder in his cultivation afterward.

I won't say I can surpass Hao Jun, but at least I can't be left behind.

He's grown up!

Akimichi Torifu was even more gratified; the little guy from back then had grown up and was now a strong one.

Although it was said that external forces were borrowed, being able to borrow external forces in the ninja world is a skill in itself.

Currently, the Akimichi family, including themselves, already has two members with combat power surpassing Jonin. Once Choza and the other two break through, there will be five.

Such a lineup could only be found in top-tier clans like the Senju and Uchiha. However, the Senju clan has now been destroyed, and the Uchiha suffered heavy losses in the last Shinobi World War; otherwise, they wouldn't have been suppressed by Hiruzen and his allies.

Next comes the rise of the three races: pig, deer, and butterfly. In the future, they have a better chance of creating an era that belongs to them!
