Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Obito Uchiha naturally wouldn't answer this question for Sarutobi Biwako. He went to the side of the unconscious Uzumaki Kyuujin, activated Kamui, and took the Sarutobi ninja who had rushed in after hearing the shouts before they entered, taking with him the Book of Sealing.

It didn't go too far; it just appeared not far outside.

Lifting the clothes of Uzumaki Kyuujin, revealing the seal on his abdomen, Obito Uchiha activated his Kamui in both eyes after observing it for a while, creating a through-space passage that led directly into the sealed space.

This seal was created by the First Hokage's wife, and he was unable to break it. Fortunately, his Kamui eye technique, when activated simultaneously, could create a stable spatial passage, allowing him to bypass the seal and enter the interior.

"Uchiha!"

The Nine-Tails, tightly bound within the seal, sensed that power of the eye, and its eyes instantly became bloodshot, filled with intense hatred.

Then, in the next moment, they are controlled by powerful eye power. This is a major weakness of tailed beasts, as they are completely unable to resist eye power at the level of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Not to mention that Obito Uchiha also inherited Madara Uchiha's legacy and possessed the power of Hashirama's cells amplifying the Mangekyou Sharingan, which enabled him to control the Nine-Tails.

Seeing the Nine-Tails sealed, Obito Uchiha further activated his Kamui eye technique, releasing the Nine-Tails along with the sealed portion.

However, just as the Nine-Tails was about to fully emerge, Obito Uchiha's eyes flickered, and he suddenly released Kamui. The spatial channel instantly contracted, leaving only a small section of the Nine-Tails' tail behind.

With that small piece of tail remaining, the seal on the ninth-rank ninja beast did not collapse, thus saving its life.

After glancing at the still unconscious Uzumaki Kyuubi, Obito Uchiha turned his gaze to the seal behind Kurama. He activated Kamui, using spatial power to forcibly twist and shatter it, freeing Kurama from its confinement.

"roar!"

The Nine-Tails, now free, roared in fury, and then, under Obito Uchiha's control, condensed into a massive Tailed Beast Ball that shot towards the base they had previously encountered.

The people in that base were all ninjas from the Sarutobi clan. He hated the Sarutobi clan ninjas immensely, and they all had to pay with their lives for Rin.

"boom!"

The Nine-Tails' full-force Tailed Beast Ball was extremely terrifying. After landing, it transformed into a huge ball of light, with power comparable to the combined power of the Tailed Beast Balls of the previous four Tailed Beasts.

The underground base was instantly destroyed, and all the Sarutobi ninja inside perished, either killed by the Tailed Beast Ball or crushed by the immense squeezing force.

Faced with such a catastrophic power, humanity is far too insignificant, even ninjas who have mastered this power.

"Did they still make a move?"

Looking at the ball of light bursting in the distance, Tamura Hao knew that it was the power of the Tailed Beast Ball. Now, only the Two-Tails and the Nine-Tails remained of the nine tailed beasts. The Two-Tails could not unleash such a powerful Tailed Beast Ball, and it was also trying to escape.

The only thing that could be unleashed in Konoha was the Nine-Tails, and it's clear that the Nine-Tails was released after all.

"I'll go first."

Tamura Hao said something to the group, then unleashed the chakra he had refined by consuming large amounts of food along the way, using the Flying Thunder God Technique to instantly arrive at the Ino-Shika-Cho clan's territory in Konoha.

This is a technique he set up after learning the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"The consumption is too great."

Taking a breath, feeling the nearly depleted chakra within the Yin Seal, he complained about the consumption of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Previously, we were tens of kilometers away from here, and only by increasing the supply of chakra could we complete the teleportation.

That's how this technique works; the farther the distance, the greater the energy consumption. It's best suited for short-range teleportation combat.

Otherwise, Minato Namikaze wouldn't have had to painstakingly use the Body Flicker Technique to get to the battlefield during the Fourth Shinobi World War in the original story.

Without delay, he flapped his butterfly wings and pushed off with both legs, quickly flying towards the location of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

"This time, I will definitely not be the one to lose."

Turning his gaze to the approaching figure, Obito Uchiha recalled the countless sparring sessions he had had with that guy at Kikyo Mountain Fortress, where he had been sent flying every time.

This time it won't happen!

With a thought, he controlled the Nine-Tailed Fox to turn around and pounce.

Seeing the Nine-Tailed Fox pounce, Tamura Hao's face darkened, and he decisively changed direction to try to lure it away.

"Don't even think about leaving."

With a cold snort, Obito Uchiha controlled the Nine-Tails to continue charging forward; the village was just ahead.

"Tsuchi-kun, I'll remember this debt. I'll try to set Kakashi and Rin up later."

His face darkened even more, and Tamura Hiroshi had no choice but to fly back to stop him.

"Multiply Technique!"

Its body rapidly expanded, transforming in the blink of an eye into a 30-meter-tall giant.

"Earth Release: Light and Heavy Rock Technique!"

Grabbing the Nine-Tails' swung claw, he used its force to twist and swing his body, then used the Light-Heavy Rock Technique to lighten the weight of the Nine-Tails, sending its massive body flying.

This place is too close to the village; a single mishap could cause damage. We must move the battlefield.

With the flapping of its wings and the enhancement of the Light and Heavy Rock Technique, it quickly caught up with the Nine-Tails that had been flung away, preventing it from landing, and sent it flying even further away with a flying kick.

And so, it kept chasing and knocking the Nine-Tails away. Although the Nine-Tails roared repeatedly, its limbs could not touch the ground, so it could not exert its full power.

The human even went so far as to despicably spin himself up by striking, making it even harder for him to maintain his balance.

As for the Tailed Beast Ball, it's impossible to aim at it while it's spinning like that, so even if you launch it, it's useless.

Tamura continued to levitate Kurama by striking and using the Light-Heavy Rock Technique, but as for why he didn't use the more effective Super Light-Heavy Rock Technique...

The main problem is that the consumption is too high.

He had almost exhausted the chakra in the Yin Seal during the previous battle. Although he replenished some chakra by consuming a lot of food on the way here, he had also exhausted it by the super long-range Flying Thunder God Technique just now.

He's currently fighting while refining his chakra, so he has to conserve it, otherwise excessive consumption will drain his body.

As for the Heaven-Opening Axe, enlarging it consumes a lot of energy, and since it's not in its Dharma Form state, it can't break through the Nine-Tailed Fox's defense by swinging it alone, so it's better not to use it.

But this was not the scene Obito Uchiha wanted, so he immediately controlled the Nine-Tails to counterattack.

The nine tails extended and attacked, forming an offensive defensive circle around them to prevent being hit by Tamura Hao again.

This worked as expected; Tamura Hao couldn't get close enough to attack, but the distance was now sufficient.

Nine-Tails landed and immediately steadied itself. The next moment, a fist came flying at it, aimed directly at its vulnerable nose.

The nine-tailed creature swung its claws to meet the attack, its nine tails thrusting forward like spears.

However, Tamura Hao's massive body nimbly spun around to avoid the claws, and the next moment he used his even larger hands to grab the Nine-Tails' mouth, opening his mouth to bite down hard on its black nose.

The intense pain of being bitten in a vital spot caused the nine-tailed fox's ears to stand up instantly, its fur to bristle, and even the Sharingan pattern in its eyes to tremble, almost being pushed away by the pain.

"You're still as despicable as ever!"

After finally managing to stabilize his control over Kurama by increasing his eye power output, Obito Uchiha cursed him for being despicable and always resorting to such underhanded tricks.

"Obito, Kushina Uzumaki and Vanilla Uzumaki are almost here. Their Adamantine Sealing Technique and sealing techniques are very effective against the Nine-Tails."

Black Zetsu spoke at this moment, sensing the chakra of the two vortex ninjas rapidly approaching.

"You win this time!"

With a displeased look at someone in the distance, Obito Uchiha entered the Kamui dimension and, with the help of Madara Uchiha's summoning contract with the Nine-Tails, summoned it into the Kamui dimension.

He had some ideas about the Nine-Tails' power. If he could seal the Nine-Tails into his body and make it a perfect Jinchūriki, he could greatly increase his strength by using the Nine-Tails' chakra, especially the power of his eye techniques.

The presence of Hashirama cells allows him to continuously repair eye damage and restore pupil power; his only weakness now is chakra.

In addition, there is the Susanoo Armor that Madara Uchiha created to contend with the First Hokage at his peak, which he also wants.

Most importantly, that bastard is too strong, and he will inevitably become even stronger in the future. With my current strength, I am no match for him, let alone create that perfect world with Lin.

As for reviving the Ten-Tails, it doesn't necessarily require the complete Nine-Tails. One tail can be left inside the body temporarily to support it, and then the Ten-Tails can be sealed inside the body.

However, the prerequisite is to obtain those eyes, but that's not urgent. First, let's master the power of the Nine-Tails.

Leaving aside Obito Uchiha's thoughts, on the other side, after seeing that Kurama had been summoned away, Tamura Hao quickly flew back to the village, and also grabbed the unconscious Uzumaki Kyuubi and brought him back, landing on Hokage Cliff to observe the surroundings.

The five people, including Nara Shikaku, who arrived in the black car, also landed.

"Someone took advantage of the situation to break Sister Jiupin's seal and took away the Nine-Tailed Fox. Brother Hai, you guys need to stabilize the village as soon as possible."

Tamura Hao briefly explained the previous events to the group and signaled to Nara Shikaku to stabilize the situation in the village as soon as possible and not give certain people an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

"I will immediately contact Lord Orochimaru's men and the Senju clan members who have scattered into the village."

Nara Shikaku nodded, his chakra wings unfurling behind him, and he flew with Yamanaka Inoichi toward their clan. There, a device could amplify the power of mental techniques, allowing them to directly contact many people.

Moreover, Lady Tsunade had previously given him a list of Senju clan members who had been dispersed and integrated into the village.

Although the Senju clan's elite forces were wiped out on the battlefield in the Land of Grass, many clan members still remain in their clan territory.

Afterwards, these people assimilated into the village, and even the name of the Thousand Hands was hidden.

Although these people did not have much strength and their potential was not as great as those direct descendants who were wiped out, their numbers were considerable, and at this time they were a force to be reckoned with.

Furthermore, there were some people Orochimaru brought back from the front lines, who were settled in the village. These people were all trusted confidants personally trained by Orochimaru.

Then there's the Uchiha clan, another force that can be utilized. There are many similar forces, and even the Hyuga clan has arrangements made by Lord Orochimaru.

They don't need to start a war; they just need to stabilize the situation in the village and prevent Hiruzen Sarutobi and his group from taking advantage of the situation.

Actually, the people in the village really don't dare to cause any trouble now.

First, the Nine-Tails appeared and released its terrifying Tailed Beast Ball, and then Tamura Hao knocked the Nine-Tails away one after another.

Now that Tamura Hiroshi has returned safely, given his past ruthless record, anyone with a sound mind wouldn't cause trouble.

This is also why Tamura Hao landed on Hokage Cliff—to let everyone see that Tamura Hao has returned, so that none of them would dare to come looking for death.

After sensing the area and confirming that no one in the village was unleashing their chakra, Tamura Hao finally deactivated the Expansion Technique, his face turning somewhat pale.

Although the battle with the Nine-Tails was short, it took a lot of energy.

The Expansion Technique was secondary; the key was the enhancement of the Steel Release Chakra Mode, and then the repeated application of the Light-Heavy Rock Technique to the Nine-Tails.

Although it hasn't reached the point of overworking my body, it's not easy either.

"Is Kushina planning to kill someone and steal my husband?"

Turning his head to look at Kushina, who was staring intently at the ninth rank of the vortex, Tamura Hao sensed that this woman might be in danger.

"Kill you my foot! If I were to kill anyone, it would be you!"

Kushina glared at them resentfully, then cooperated with Uzumaki Herb to complete the seal on Uzumaki Rank 9.

The seal has been damaged to some extent, and if it is not repaired as soon as possible, it will collapse soon.

Not long after, a figure suddenly appeared beside Uzumaki Kyuuhou; it was none other than Namikaze Minato.

"Ninth rank!"

Seeing his fiancée unconscious, Minato Namikaze's eyes were bloodshot.

"She's alright. Although the Nine-Tails was extracted, a little bit was left, which is enough to stabilize the seal."

However, she had been injected with a large amount of anesthetic, which needed to dissipate slowly.

Whirlpool Vanilla offered a reassuring remark, indicating that the person was alright.

Hearing that his fiancée was alright, Minato Namikaze finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to pant heavily.

After breaking free from the Great Toad Sage's suppression, he immediately deactivated his Reverse Summoning state and returned to the Land of Grass. After learning about the situation from Senior Torifu, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport back to the village.

The journey here has been quite taxing, and my body has been partially exhausted once again.

Fortunately, his fiancée was unharmed, and the village was also safe.

"What happened before? Did something go wrong at the three holy lands?"

Tamura asked about what had happened before, and also wanted to see how this person would choose to proceed in this matter.

Minato Namikaze fell silent, then looked at his fiancée's expression before finally speaking in a somber tone.

"The Great Toad Sage said that you would become the one who destroys the ninja world. That previous battle was the only chance to eliminate you. We were sent back in reverse to prevent you from interfering in the battle there."

"Jiraiya-sensei and I were both suppressed by the Great Toad Sage's Sage Mode power and couldn't mobilize our chakra. It wasn't until a toad returned to report that the battle was over that the Great Toad Sage released us."

Minato Namikaze didn't really believe in the Great Toad Sage's mystical explanations, and the incident was too sudden, especially since Jiraiya had told him earlier that day that the two sages had personally invited Hao Jun to Mount Myōboku to train in sage techniques.

All of this proves that there is something wrong with this incident, something serious, and it is by no means as simple as the Great Toad Immortal said.

"It can suppress your chakra."

Tamura Hiroshi narrowed his eyes slightly, confirming his guess.

"I also think there's something wrong with that. It's not just because the Great Toad Sage is so powerful; there's also something wrong with my body, probably because I've been practicing the Sage Techniques of Mount Myōboku."

Minato Namikaze guessed that the problem lay in his Sage Mode training. He himself had also trained in the Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku and mastered it, but he just didn't use it much.

"If it's like this at Mount Myōboku, it should be similar at Ryūchi Cave and Shikkotsu Forest. They probably want to kill me because I've cultivated an independent Sage Mode power and they're afraid I'll spread that power."

Tamura Hao revealed a murderous intent. Since the three holy lands made their move first, then he couldn't be blamed.

"Minato-kun, you may have to make another choice. Will you hesitate again this time?"

Turning his gaze to Minato Namikaze, Tamura was eager to see if he could demonstrate decisiveness this time.

"I have sealed myself with a contract seal."

Minato Namikaze looked at his fiancée and revealed his choice.

After suspecting that Mount Myōboku was problematic and might become an enemy in the future, he started thinking about the future.

Seeing his fiancée in danger only fueled his anger, as did the battle in the Land of Grass.

If Hao Jun hadn't unleashed his power beyond his limits, all those people would have died, and even the entire comrades in the frontline camps would have been slaughtered.

Faced with the power of the Tailed Beast Ball, the number of people is meaningless.

If that were to happen, he would never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life, and I imagine the same would be true for Jiraiya-sensei.

If Mount Myōboku truly intends to be their enemy, he might not oppose Mount Myōboku, but he would never help them again.

His actions at Myobokusan broke his heart.

Tamura was very satisfied with Minato Namikaze's determination. Compared to Jiraiya, who was a naive idealist, Minato Namikaze was better; at least he was salvageable.

The group continued to wait there. As the sun rose, Tsunade flew over with Orochimaru and Uchiha Chiri.

"Is something wrong with the Nine-Tails?"

Tsunade looked at Uzumaki Kyuuban, who was still unconscious, and frowned.

She flew here as fast as she could after leaving Shikkotsu Forest. She had just seen a huge crater on the edge of the village from the air. Only a Tailed Beast Ball could create a crater of that size.

Given the current state of the Ninth Rank, it's clear that something is wrong with the Nine-Tailed Fox.

"Jiupin was injected with a large amount of anesthetic drugs, the seal was also destroyed, and the nine tails inside were extracted. Only a small section of the tail was left to maintain the operation of the seal and save his life."

Vanilla Whirlpool explained again that Ninth Grader is much better now. Most of the anesthetic drugs in her body have been separated out, and she should wake up tomorrow.

"Damn old man."

Tsunade gritted her teeth in anger, realizing that the Ninth-Rank enemy must have been drugged by that old man; otherwise, with his strength, the enemy wouldn't have been so easily defeated in the village.

"Tsunade, take over. The village needs a Hokage to make changes."

Orochimaru spoke up, saying he also wanted Tsunade to become Hokage.

"Why do you want me to be Hokage? Isn't that lecherous brat very strong?"

Tsunade resolutely refused; she had no intention of becoming Hokage.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a bright red hat landed on his head, followed by a Hokage-exclusive divine robe draped over his body.

Tamura Hiroshi had already instructed Nara Shikaku to prepare this set of equipment, which was made at the same time as the God of Gamblers robe, and the style was extremely similar.

"Orochimaru, perhaps Tsunade-sensei needs some guidance. I think if we resurrect the First Hokage, the Second Hokage, and also Kato Dan and Nawaki Senpai using Edo Tensei to persuade her, that should make Tsunade-sensei think..."

While dressing Fatty Sheep in the Naruto outfit, Tamura Hao offered suggestions to Orochimaru.

Before he could finish speaking, a fist came flying at him, landing squarely on his chest, sending him flying like a cannonball.

"I should have killed you a long time ago."

Tsunade gritted her teeth in anger, wondering how she could have accepted such a rebellious disciple in the first place.

"Should we meet with them?"

Orochimaru thought the suggestion was pretty good; with those four people appearing, they would definitely be able to persuade Tsunade.

"I'll do it, don't disturb their sleep."

She glared at him irritably, and Tsunade could only helplessly accept it, hoping that the job of Hokage wouldn't be too boring.
