Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

After exchanging words with Orochimaru, Tamura Hao returned home to his house in the Senju clan's territory.

As for the original Thousand Hands Casino, it was strongly suggested by a certain undetermined whirlpool spirit to be relocated. Another undetermined whirlpool spirit, who was willing to reveal his name but whose identity was forcibly concealed, used earth-style ninjutsu to move it to the side of Hokage Cliff.

That area is a newly developed urban area, which has already begun to take shape.

After the Thousand Hands Casino was moved, the Thousand Hands clan's territory was left empty. It was then rebuilt by a Uzumaki ghost who still refused to reveal his name, who asked the Thousand Hands ghost to use Wood Release ninjutsu as a dowry for his granddaughter.

Upon arriving at the specially opened basement, Tamura Hao used his own chakra to activate the barrier.

Next, he needs to further adjust himself and the Saint Seiya Dharma Body Susanoo, and most importantly, create two Otsutsuki bodies. All of this must be kept strictly confidential.

At the same time, the split entities that were separated on the way back began to make arrangements, looking for suitable targets to make the Sage of Six Paths notice them.

This split body was created quickly with a drop of blood by Tamura Hiroshi using a modified version of the splitting technique, and it can be maintained for a long time.

As for plotting against the Sage of Six Paths and Isshiki Otsutsuki, it's not difficult. After all, they did it in their previous life, and this time they're just finding another pawn to repeat the same move.

Leaving aside the actions of his clone, Tamura Hao, on the other hand, began to improve himself in various aspects, starting with his body.

There are no problems with the Gold Release bloodline limit; only some minor adjustments are needed. Furthermore, the Gold Release chakra mode can be further improved to more efficiently unleash the power of Gold Release.

Then came the improvement by external forces, including the Dharma images in the Twelve Hours Seal and the Heaven-Opening Axe of the Eastern Emperor Bell.

That was something I painstakingly perfected before, but after awakening all my memories, it looks very rough when I look at it again. These things need to be adjusted slowly.

The Eastern Emperor Bell is the key point and the core of the upcoming attack on the three holy lands.

He guessed that this battle would definitely not be easy, and the three holy lands would certainly be on guard, so he needed to prepare more methods.

After transferring the Obito clone out of the Great Eight Trigrams Seal, Tamura Hao took out some cells that he had previously brought from Orochimaru's experimental base and used Yin-Yang Release to fuse them.

Although his physical strength has declined significantly, he is quite good at cultivating Yang Release and Yin Release, especially Yang Release.

In addition, the presence of the power of the nine tailed beasts allows him to use Yin-Yang Release to a certain extent, which is the basis for fusing the Otsutsuki bloodline.

The cells obtained from Orochimaru were cells from the Kaguya family, the Uzumaki family, and the Hyuga family, including Hiashi and Ginkaku.

As for Hashirama cells and Madara Uchiha cells, he has them all. At present, apart from the Otsutsuki clan cells on the moon, he has gathered all the main bloodlines left by the Sage of Six Paths and Otsutsuki Hamura, which is enough to fuse them into a complete Otsutsuki bloodline.

It's impossible for Obito's clones alone to fuse and awaken the Rinnegan, even with the Rinnegan's eye power guidance, unless they have the help of the complete Ten-Tails.

However, there is another path: to fuse with the Otsutsuki bloodline, using it to transform and enhance the Sharingan's bloodline power. Combined with the Rinnegan power obtained from Madara Uchiha's soul, this would be enough to create a pair of Rinnegan.

In his previous life, he had thoroughly researched the Otsutsuki bloodline, the Byakugan, Sharingan, Rinnegan, and Tenseigan, and knew how to obtain them.

With the blessing of Yin-Yang Release, those cells merged into the Obito clone and expanded rapidly, quickly fusing with the Obito clone's cells. The special gene fragments inside broke down and recombined, removing the gene fragments belonging to humans one by one.

This requires extremely precise control, but fortunately, Tamura Hao has now awakened all his memories, so he has no shortage of precise control skills.

Moreover, compared to the energy cultivation of all cells and genes in the body, this kind of substantial gene recombination is much simpler.

After several days, Obito's clone underwent a dramatic change. His skin turned pale, two bony horns grew on his head, and his eyes turned into purple Rinnegan.

After pondering for a while, Tamura Hao manipulated the Obito clone to gouge out its eyes and fuse them with the power of the nine tailed beasts to create a small version of the God Tree Fruit, which the Obito clone then swallowed.

The Otsutsuki clan needs to use the fruit of the Divine Tree to awaken the vertical eye between their eyebrows, which is usually the Rinnegan. The higher the bloodline level, the higher the level of the Rinnegan that they will awaken.

For example, the Rinnegan awakened by Momoshiki Otsutsuki is the highest level of gold, and its growth potential and power are also higher.

Therefore, even though Kaguya Otsutsuki had activated the crimson Rinnegan, she was still afraid of Momoshiki and the others.

The reason why Momoshiki Otsutsuki appeared so weak in the original story was mainly because his chakra was consumed excessively due to traveling through space over extremely long distances, which led to a sharp decline in his strength.

However, the type of Rinnegan one can awaken depends primarily on one's bloodline level and the level of offerings used to the Divine Tree.

The purple Rinnegan of the Sage of Six Paths is the lowest level, with limited potential, reaching at most the level of six tomoe.

Kaguya Otsutsuki's Crimson Rinnegan is of a higher level, mainly because she used Isshiki Otsutsuki as a sacrifice, but it can only reach the level of twelve tomoe at most. In her previous life, after absorbing Momoshiki Otsutsuki and others, she had already raised it to its limit.

To advance further, one must cultivate a higher level of Rinnegan. The highest level of Rinnegan known at this stage is the golden Rinnegan awakened by Momoshiki Otsutsuki and Urashiki Otsutsuki.

Although they are all without the magatama, they still possess immense power.

Of course, Urashiki Otsutsuki was too weak. It was probably due to the way he activated it, and most importantly, he didn't have enough chakra to support the power of those eyes.

However, although Urashiki Otsutsuki was weak, he did awaken the golden Rinnegan, which he did by absorbing it himself, proving that his bloodline level was not low.

Fortunately, in his previous life, after consuming Urashiki Otsutsuki, he shared his genetic map with Princess Kaguya, and he was confident that he could replicate it.

The fruit of the Divine Tree and the clone of Obito were the carriers through which he replicated them.

After another period of work, the Divine Tree Fruit was initially successfully modified, but it was still far from enough to evolve into the golden Rinnegan.

"It's time to go see that adopted son."

Looking at the low-end version of the Divine Tree Fruit in his hand, Tamura Hao activated his inner power, distorting the surrounding space and quickly traversing through the spatial layers, soon arriving at the location he sensed.

Although both are Kamui, his own, having undergone multiple upgrades and combined with his mastery of spatial power, is many times stronger than the one used by Obito Uchiha.

The waiting split-off didn't say much, turning into a drop of blood that merged into Tamura Hao's body, bringing with it fragments of memories from the past half month.

The existence of Otsutsuki Isshiki has already been revealed to the Sage of Six Paths. This is easy to handle, mainly because the outer members of the Kara organization have been secretly marked with cursed seals in their brains, which were placed using Otsutsuki Isshiki's chakra, all for the purpose of secrecy.

Not only can secrets not be revealed during one's lifetime, but the soul will also be taken away by the curse after death and will not enter the Pure Land of the Underworld.

After carefully examining the memory fragments brought back by the split entity and confirming that there were no omissions, he used chakra to simulate Kaguya Otsutsuki's chakra and create subtle fluctuations.

This subtle fluctuation is difficult for others to detect, but as a remnant of Kaguya Otsutsuki's power, Black Zetsu could definitely sense it.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before Tamura Hao sensed something. He stepped out to a large tree, reached into the trunk, and pulled out something with two sides, black and white. It was Black Zetsu and the White Zetsu it was attached to.

By channeling the power of time to empower Black Zetsu, Tamura Hao also used the power of destiny to activate his cheat ability, connecting the collapsed timeline and establishing a brief link.

He needs a reliable helper to assist in his plans, and Black Zetsu is the best choice.

By using that power of time and the cheat code to connect with that collapsed timeline, certain consciousnesses are transmitted over.

Although it will consume 10% of your time and energy, it is worth it.

Compared to the power of time, the power to drastically alter the plot and reap the rewards of fate is far more important.

Black Zetsu never expected that his concealment would be seen through so quickly, and that the other party would even capture him.

But the next moment, countless memories surfaced in his mind, and a consciousness perfectly merged with his own.

"Dad, you've transcended time!"

Once their consciousnesses merged, Black Zetsu instantly understood everything, his eyes widening in excitement.

He thought everything was over, but unexpectedly, his father transcended time and started anew.

Although it's ten years later than the previous life, with my father's strength, surpassing the previous life is only a matter of time.

"It's just a trick; I've only scratched the surface of the power of time."

He remarked that Tamura Hao held the power of time in great awe, and that mastering that power was extremely difficult, far more so than cultivating the power of space.

"What should we do now?"

Black Zetsu inquired about the next plan, feeling immense fear towards Isshiki Otsutsuki. If he were to unleash that power again, it would still be unsolvable for them.

That level of power is too high.

"I stole the Ten-Tails that I impersonated Hagoromo from Isshiki Otsutsuki. I need to use that Ten-Tails to nurture this fruit to perfection."

Tamura Hao raised his hand and manifested the fruit of the Divine Tree that he had sculpted. This was only a semi-finished product at the moment; it would need the help of the Ten-Tails to complete.

"Should we attack Otsutsuki Isshiki now?"

Black Zetsu hesitated, worried that it might cause more complications, especially by prematurely guiding Momoshiki and his two companions to arrive.

"Without the power of the Ten-Tails, Isshiki Otsutsuki cannot open the portal. It would take a huge amount of chakra for Momoshiki and the other two to descend."

Without sufficient chakra support, they're nothing more than fish on a chopping board.

Tamura Hiroshi wasn't worried about the Otsutsuki Momoshiki trio because those three didn't have any trump cards up their sleeves.

On the other hand, we need to be careful with Isshiki Otsutsuki, but as long as we take down his Ten-Tails, he will be unable to recover temporarily, and there won't be any problems in the short term.

He urgently needs to enhance his spatial and temporal powers, especially his temporal powers.

It's too difficult for him to comprehend it on his own. Even with the power of time from the plow, it's still not enough. He can only indirectly comprehend it by relying on the power of the Otsutsuki.

After saying that, he turned out the Obito clone. The moment Black Zetsu saw the body, he knew what to do.

He separated half of his body and merged it into the clone, then modified it.

His appearance quickly changed, and he became the Sage of Six Paths.

This clone contains three Otsutsuki gene maps, which belong to Otsutsuki Urashiki, the Sage of Rokudo, and Otsutsuki Hamura.

Urashiki Otsutsuki's genetic map was simulated by him, while the genetic maps of the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura Otsutsuki were obtained by fusing the bloodlines of those families and reverting to their ancestral forms. Although neither was perfect, they were enough to scare people.

With Black Zetsu guiding them, deceiving Isshiki Otsutsuki wouldn't be a problem.

Tamura Hao raised his hand and created a sealed space in the abdomen of the clone, hiding inside. He then used his divine power eye technique, which controlled the half-finished divine tree fruit, to enter the space's interlayer.

Using the spatial coordinates obtained from his previous life, he quickly located the hidden Otsutsuki Isshiki alternate dimension, directly using Kamui to shatter the barrier of the alternate dimension and storm in, heading straight for the place where the Ten-Tails was imprisoned.

He had been here in his previous life and swallowed it whole, so he knew this place very well and knew where the Ten-Tails was imprisoned.

As for why they didn't sneak in quietly, that's unrealistic.

After all, this alternate dimension was opened up by Otsutsuki Isshiki, who has absolute control over it, and it's impossible for him to sneak in unnoticed.

Indeed, the moment the alternate dimension was breached, it awakened Isshiki Otsutsuki, who was sleeping inside Jigen. He immediately took control of Jigen's body and opened a portal to travel through the dimension.

Unfortunately, it was too late. In the end, all he saw was his Ten-Tails, which he had painstakingly nurtured for thousands of years, being taken away by a figure using spatial power.

"Otsutsuki Hagoromo, you really didn't die."

With a gloomy expression, Jigen looked at the place where the Ten-Tails was imprisoned and recognized the person as Kaguya's eldest son.

He was familiar with Kaguya's two children, especially the eldest son, who was known as the Sage of Six Paths and the founder of the Ninjutsu school. At that time, he had seen the eldest son from afar while residing in Jigen's body.

He had witnessed the great battle between Kaguya and Kaguya, and now that Kaguya had reappeared and taken away his Ten-Tails.

He wasn't surprised that Kaguya's child was still alive, after all, the lifespan of an Otsutsuki was much longer than that of lowly mortals.

In particular, Kaguya's eldest son sealed the Ten-Tails, so living for several hundred years with the Ten-Tails' power wouldn't be a problem.

Not to mention that the two of them also cultivated the immortal arts of this world, which also helped to extend their lifespan.

But the result was that Kaguya's eldest son died of old age, not even a hundred years old, just like an ordinary person. At that time, he suspected there was a problem, so he has been hiding for thousands of years, waiting for the perfect vessel to appear.

As expected, the other party has reappeared, and not only has it found the alternate dimension that I created, but it has also taken away my Ten-Tails.

Moreover, things certainly won't end like this; the other party will inevitably have other means to target us.

Thinking of this, Otsutsuki Isshiki gritted his teeth, turned around, and prepared to slaughter everyone in the alternate dimension, reclaim their chakra to maximize his own power, and then abandon this alternate dimension.

We can't stay here any longer, otherwise it will be difficult to escape when the enemy attacks again.

Furthermore, the Ten-Tails needs an Otsutsuki as a sacrifice to transform into the Divine Tree. Back then, Kaguya ambushed him and took part of his body as a sacrifice. He didn't want the rest of his body to be used as a sacrifice by Kaguya's son, because that would truly mean his death.

Leaving aside Otsutsuki Isshiki, who was slaughtering and reclaiming power, Tamura Hao, after leaving, used the Ten-Tails to nurture a half-finished Devil Fruit.

The Ten-Tails struggled frantically, but it was still unable to stop its own source power from being devoured by the fruit, and was even guided by the fruit to transform into the form of the Divine Tree.

The previous pair of Rinnegan were already a sacrifice, and the genetic blueprints of the three Otsutsuki were enough to transform the Ten-Tails into a divine tree.

After taking the form of a divine tree, the fruit grew and matured rapidly, and the power within it was also being nurtured. Tamura Hao even invested the time power that was temporarily integrated into the Eastern Emperor Bell into it.

He hoped to obtain a supreme Rinnegan with the power of time and space. Moreover, the Rinnegan awakened by Urashiki Otsutsuki possessed the power of time, so the compatibility between his genetic map and the power of time was not low, and the probability of awakening a time-based eye technique was naturally not low.

Meanwhile, he wasn't idle either. He led Black Zetsu through the spatial interlayers and quickly arrived at the coordinates of the Origin Sphere, entering it smoothly.

In his previous life, he obtained the coordinates of the primordial space, but he swallowed the primordial space after that, so the coordinates became useless. This time, they come in handy.

Upon arriving here, Tamura Hao retrieved another Otsutsuki clone, cultivated using the genes of the two brothers of the Sage of Six Paths, but it was a female body.

"Mother!"

Upon seeing the body's appearance, Black Zetsu was extremely excited.

It immediately detached from its current body, wriggled over, and crawled into its mother's sleeve, guiding the gathering of its mother's chakra within the primordial space.

Tamura Hao assisted from the side, filtering and purifying the gathered Kaguya Otsutsuki chakra before injecting it into the clone's body.

After absorbing, transforming, and injecting all of this chakra, he immediately used the power of time and his cheat ability to connect with the broken timeline, drawing Kaguya's consciousness to descend.

Although this will consume another 10% of the power of time, Kaguya still needs to consume the fruit of the Divine Tree to awaken the perfect Rinnegan and Time Eye Technique. Only in this way can she better comprehend the power of time.

"Hao!"

Upon opening her eyes, Princess Kaguya immediately showered him with a sweet kiss, so excited that she couldn't wait for a passionate lovemaking session.

"Adapt to your current body first."

Grasping the delicate hand that had slipped inside his collar, Tamura Hao gestured for him to adjust to his body first.

"Um!"

Princess Kaguya obediently responded, then closed her eyes to adjust to the body.

Compared to her original body, this cloned body is far inferior, and even has many flaws, making it difficult to improve.

She brought only consciousness and memories with her; she didn't bring any power with her, so she needs to start her training all over again.

Fortunately, with consciousness and memory, improvement will be much faster.

After spending some time fine-tuning, Princess Kaguya modified her body's genes according to the genetic blueprint she had long abandoned in her previous life.

The genetic map is only applicable to Otsutsuki who has not yet fully energized, which is also the key to Otsutsuki's ability to use the Kiki.

Once the body is fully energized, the genetic map becomes largely useless.

In her previous life, she reached that level, but now this body is too weak, so she can only try the discarded genetic map again.

This way, the improvement will be much faster, and most importantly, it will allow us to continue to tap into the potential of the Otsutsuki bloodline, thus better helping Hao.

Tamura Hao was responsible for guiding the growth of the Divine Tree's fruit, mainly by guiding the fusion of the time power within it, thus laying the groundwork for creating the Time Eye Technique.

The creation of Rinnegan eye techniques is similar to that of Mangekyou Sharingan eye techniques, depending on both innate talent and strong inner desire.

The strong desire is easy to solve; the key is the relevant talent inclination. For example, Obito Uchiha, who has spatial talent, was able to awaken the Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Obito Uchiha didn't demonstrate his spatial talent before; that's because space-time ninjutsu is so rare that it's difficult to showcase his spatial abilities without it.

Therefore, Kamui is not simply a manifestation of a strong inner desire; it is based on innate talent and cannot be created out of nothing.

After Kaguya completed her genetic transformation, she also came to assist in the gestation of the Divine Tree's fruit, offering up the genetic blueprints of Momoshiki, Kinshiki, and even herself and Isshiki as sacrifices. (End of Chapter)
