Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 40 Samehada (Great Sword)

The young man fought with increasing frenzy, and blood vessels kept appearing in his eyes.

He could sense that the short man's chakra was being rapidly depleted and he wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.

Moreover, judging from the fact that the other party possessed such a high-quality ninja sword, their status in Kumogakure must have been quite high, making it the perfect weapon to accompany me in death.

Indeed, Tamura Hao's current chakra reserves are still too low.

Even though the Night Moon Elixir had enhanced his vitality and increased his chakra reserves, his chakra aptitude was still too poor, and the improvement was not significant.

"Die!"

With a swing of his bone blade, he knocked the longsword away, and the young man laughed wildly as he lunged forward, ready to kill him on the spot.

However, in the face of this attack, Tamura Hao leaped backward, and at the same time used chakra threads to stuff a roll of high-quality explosive tags into his arms from the opponent's blind spot.

"No!"

Realizing something had entered his clothes, the young man roared in frustration, trying to tear his clothes to remove the explosive tag, but it was too late.

"Bang!"

With a deafening roar, the young man was engulfed in flames, and when the flames subsided, only his charred corpse, blown in two, remained.

"Who told you that my strongest skill right now is swordsmanship?"

Steadying himself, Tamura Hao looked at the two mutilated corpses and sneered before stepping forward to touch the bodies.

His greatest strength right now is his financial power; he brought over a thousand explosive tags with him this time.

Seeing that Tamura Hao finally defeated his opponent with an explosive tag, Yozuki Ai and Fukai shook their heads with smiles and didn't say anything more.

People have a limited amount of chakra, so we can't expect too much.

They had all witnessed the battle and could tell that if it weren't for the limitation on chakra levels, Tamura Hao would definitely have been able to defeat that Kaguya youth.

Samehada!

Having absorbed the remaining chakra within Kaguya's body, Tamura Hao stood up and surveyed the few remaining Kirigakure ninjas on the battlefield. He was quickly drawn to a chubby figure, or more precisely, to the strange large sword in the other's hand.

That was Samehada, the foremost of the Seven Great Ninja Swords of Kirigakure, and the sword that Tamura Hao desired most at this stage.

"Is it the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon?"

Turning his gaze to the fat man wielding a large sword and fighting desperately with his flowing hair, Tamura Hao realized that this must be Suigetsu Hozuki, the future Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

At present, Kirigakure should not have gathered all seven Ninja Swordsmen yet; they will have to wait until the Third Shinobi World War.

"Teacher, I want that knife. I'll trade it for the knife you have."

Tamura Hao decisively approached Fukai, who was also collecting corpses nearby, and asked for the Samehada.

"Is that knife very powerful?"

Following Tamura Hiroshi's gaze, Fukai became interested in the strange large sword.

"It seems to be able to absorb ninjutsu; is it a ninja sword that absorbs chakra?"

Ye Yue Ai flashed over and looked at the fat boy wielding the sword, seeing that some ninjutsu was being absorbed by the sword.

"His chakra seems to be plentiful even after all this fighting. Is he absorbing the chakra of his opponent's ninjutsu to replenish himself?"

Fauci also figured out what was going on and understood the student's thoughts.

"That knife suits you perfectly!"

"Let's go, chop him up!"

With a ferocious twist of her neck, Ye Yue Ai's body crackled with electricity as she charged toward the fat man.

Be careful here!

Fukai first looked around to make sure there was no danger, then gave Tamura Hao some instructions and sent a lightning bolt to keep watch before charging at the fat man with his ninja sword.

Tamura Hao dared not be careless. He stopped paying attention to the battle and swallowed a soldier's ration pill to recover his strength while keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings. His sense of good and evil was always on.

He didn't want to end up like Senju Nawaki, dying on the battlefield. With only one-tenth of his chakra remaining, he couldn't afford to act rashly.

Despite his formidable strength, Suigetsu Hozuki, aided by Samehada, was quickly defeated by the combined attack of Yozuki Ai and Fukai.

Within a minute, his arms were severed and he was knocked unconscious. Fukai was very interested in the fat man's hair manipulation ninjutsu.

She also has a head of flowing hair, which is perfect for practicing this special ninjutsu.

The alliance between Kumogakure and the Uzumaki clan caught everyone off guard. No one expected that the Uzumaki clan would choose to take the initiative to attack when they were surrounded.

What shocked them even more was that the Hidden Cloud Village had joined forces with the Uzumaki clan to attack the Hidden Mist Ninja Army.

Even the Third Raikage personally descended upon the battlefield, which was a massacre for the Hidden Mist Village's ninja army.

Even if the Hidden Mist Village's ninja army gathered the elites of major ninja clans such as the Hozuki, Minazuki, and Kaguya clans, it wouldn't be enough. The Third Raikage alone was enough to sweep them away and disrupt their battle formation. In addition, Lightning Release is very effective against Water Release, especially against the Hozuki clan, which is even more deadly.

Besieged on all sides and outnumbered, the nearly one thousand ninja soldiers of Kirigakure were wiped out in just ten minutes.

The ninja armies of several ninja villages had sent people to monitor each other. They received news of the actions taken by Uzushio Village and Kumogakure Village as soon as they were announced, and knew that something was wrong.

The Sand Village Ninja Army commanders, Chiyo and her brother, and the Iwa Village Ninja Army commander, Nishi Shijin, immediately ordered each other to move closer together, preparing to unite against the Uzumaki clan and the Cloud Village Ninja Army alliance.

The current situation is not good. They must put aside their past prejudices and unite, otherwise they will be defeated one by one by the allied forces of the Uzumaki Cloud Ninja.

Especially with the existence of the Third Raikage, no one on their side could contend with them; it was too dangerous.

Meanwhile, Shimura Danzo, who had been hiding in the shadows, frowned as he observed the situation, which was far from what he had expected.

"The Uzumaki clan actually joined forces with Kumogakure first, and even the Third Raikage made a move. What price did they pay? Or did they simply submit to Kumogakure?"

Muttering to himself, Danzo Shimura couldn't make a judgment for the time being.

However, neither the former nor the latter is what he and Konoha want to see.

There aren't many members of the Uzumaki clan who have the leverage to get the Third Raikage to personally intervene.

"Uncle Danzo, what should we do next?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke inquired, expressing his anxiety about the current situation.

On the issue of the Uzumaki clan, his attitude was the same as Danzo Shimura's: to exterminate and eliminate them.

However, the Uzumaki clan has now secretly colluded with the Hidden Cloud Village, and even the Third Raikage has personally descended to participate in the battle.

That's a top-tier expert; even my father wouldn't have much of a chance against him.

"Ding Yi, go and inform the commanders of the ninja forces in Iwagakure and Sunagakure that I am going to surround and kill the Third Raikage. Tell them not to disturb us, otherwise I will treat them as enemies and surround and kill them together."

After thinking for a moment, Shimura Danzo gave an order to a Root ninja behind him.

The Root ninja didn't say much, and used the Body Flicker Technique to quickly leave, heading to the ninja army camps of Sunagakure and Iwagakure.

"Jia San, go and carry out your mission!"

Then, looking at his trusted subordinates on his left, Danzo Shimura realized that he had already prepared a backup plan.

In the morning, Kazusa accompanied Sarutobi Shinnosuke on a mission to Uzushiogakure. At that time, he left something in Uzushiogakure, something that was enough to destroy Uzushiogakure.

"Yes, Lord Danzo!"

Jia San leaped towards the Hidden Village of Whirlpools, intending to trigger the secret treasure at close range and cause the poisonous insects inside to spread.

"Let's go! Follow me to meet the strongest Raikage of all time!"

Shimura Danzo drew his ninja sword from his back and used the Body Flicker Technique to rush out of the forest where he was hiding.

If it were the Third Raikage at his peak, he would definitely have a hard time against him. However, having just gone through a major battle, the Third Raikage must have been quite exhausted. In addition, since Wind Release can counter Lightning Release, he is confident that he can fight against him. Under the right conditions, it is not impossible for him to be killed.
