Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 43 Killing a Kage-Level Rank

Leaving aside the battle at Uzushiogakure, on the other side, at the former Kirigakure ninja base, Kumogakure ninja were consuming ration pills to recover their strength and were also cleaning up the battlefield.

Tamura Hiroshi and Yotsuki Evkai stayed together, studying the Samehada sword. All three of them were very curious about this type of biological ninja sword.

Samehada struggles and resists, wanting to return to its original owner's side.

"It even has a bond with its master!"

Yotsuki Ai clicked his tongue in amazement, it was truly incredible that Kirigakure could produce such a unique ninja sword.

Fukai was also very surprised, as it was the first time he had seen a creature that could devour chakra, even chakra ninjutsu that could undergo nature transformation.

Tamura Hao was also watching, but suddenly his expression changed. He kicked Yozuki Ai and Fukai away, and at the same time threw out a roll of explosive tags. Each roll contained ten tags, and he threw out ten rolls, a total of one hundred high-quality explosive tags.

At the same time, a barrage of water bullets shot towards the three people's original positions, mainly focusing on Ye Yue Ai's location, clearly aimed at killing Ye Yue Ai.

"Boom boom boom..."

The rolls of explosive tags exploded rapidly, creating a large area of ​​fire.

Sensing the commotion, the nearby Cloud Ninja immediately gathered around, realizing that enemies might have appeared.

As the firelight faded, a disheveled figure was revealed; it was none other than Hozuki Jagetsu, the commander of the Kirigakure ninja army.

"hateful!"

Watching Yozuki Ai being kicked away and dodging the killing blow, Hozuki Jagetsu gritted his teeth and glared at the masked dwarf, wishing he could devour him alive.

They suffered a huge loss this time. He had planned to kill the son of the Third Raikage to avenge himself, but at the last moment, he failed and was hit by so many explosive tags, and was blown out of the ground.

He glared hatefully at the little guy, then turned into a stream of water to escape into the ground. Unfortunately, the previous explosion had already cost him the best time to escape.

A ninja sword crackling with electricity flew in and pinned him to the ground, while the lightning chakra interrupted his water transformation technique.

Then came another ten high-quality explosive tags, bombarding him without giving him a chance to react.

And so, Hozuki Jagetsu, who was already severely injured in the previous war and whose chakra was almost exhausted, died in a very tragic manner, without even leaving behind a complete corpse.

Ninjas are just that fragile, and they become even more vulnerable without chakra. Even a powerful ninja like Madara Uchiha could be killed by a single ninja sword.

"It seems to be the commander of the Hidden Mist Ninja Army; he's still alive."

Picking up the ninja sword that had been blown away, Fukai recognized the other party's identity.

He knew something was wrong the moment he was kicked away by the student. He immediately unleashed his chakra, and after seeing the enemy clearly, he channeled his lightning chakra into his ninja sword and swung it out.

Fortunately, the ninja sword incorporated chakra-conducting metal, allowing it to maintain its lightning chakra even after being released, thus interfering with the opponent's water transformation technique; otherwise, it would have been difficult to keep it.

"Brother, you saved my life!"

Realizing what had happened, Ye Yue Ai stepped forward, feeling both grateful and horrified.

The sneak attack was too sudden; he couldn't react at all. Without the Lightning Release Armor, he couldn't have blocked those water bullets and would definitely have been killed by them.

This is a life-saving grace!

Nodding to Yotsuki Ai and Fukai, Tamura Hao walked into the bombed crater and dug around for a while, quickly finding a hole about the thickness of a wrist.

"This is a damn rat hole!"

Looking at the hole leading deep into the earth, Tamura Hiroshi couldn't understand the Hozuki clan's water transformation technique.

I just discovered this person's lurking presence through my perception of good and evil; their intense malice was too obvious.

At that moment, he knew they were the enemy and were about to launch a sneak attack.

So he immediately kicked Yotsuki A and Fukai away, and at the same time used the recoil to fly backward and get out of the opponent's attack range, and threw out explosive tags to bombard the opponent and prevent further ninjutsu attacks.

"It is indeed Hozuki Jagetsu, the strongest member of the Hozuki family, said to be able to rival the Mizukage."

Tsuchikatsu calmed the gathered ninjas down, then walked over, picked up the broken head, and confirmed its identity.

He had noticed earlier that the commander of the Hidden Mist Ninja Army was missing. He had assumed that the commander had escaped using a secret technique, but who would have thought that he would be lying in wait here to launch a sneak attack.

That's insane!

However, it is indeed very dangerous. Judging from the situation just now, the other party may have succeeded. If the Raikage's son is killed, it will be a fatal blow to their Hidden Cloud Village.

"Killing a powerhouse comparable to a Shadow Realm expert, you're going to become famous."

Tsuchida looked at Tamura Hiroshi, feeling increasingly gratified.

This was not only about killing a powerful enemy, but also about saving the Raikage's son, especially the latter, thus averting a great crisis for their Hidden Cloud Village.

"I don't want to be famous yet."

Tamura Hao complained that what he needed most at this stage was to develop his strength in a sneaky way, which was why he was wearing a mask for this expedition.

Although his armor and dual swords were still somewhat conspicuous, they at least concealed his age, making him appear as a dwarf rather than a child, which made him seem much more ordinary.

Once our strength improves in the future, it won't be a problem.

How did you sense it?

Tu Tai smiled and then inquired about the boy's sensory methods.

So many of them failed to notice Hozuki Jagetsu's infiltration and ambush, but this kid did. Something's definitely fishy.

"This is an ability I gained after deeply refining and fusing the chakra of Kinkaku and Ginkaku. It allows me to sense the thoughts of others within a ten-meter range, and the sense is strongest for those who have a sense of good and evil towards me."

Tamura Hiroshi did not hide anything and took the opportunity to reveal this ability.

He still needs the Hidden Cloud Village to help him obtain more Nine-Tails chakra to enhance this ability. Judging by the time, the First Hokage's wife probably won't last more than a few years. When she transfers the Nine-Tails, her chakra will definitely be released, and that will be their opportunity.

If we could even find out the time and place of its relocation, it wouldn't be impossible to launch a Nine-Tails attack and capture the entire Nine-Tails.

I definitely can't do this on my own; I need to get the Hidden Cloud Village to do it.

Furthermore, we need to find a way to improve the strength of the Third Raikage. The Third Raikage's combat power is only comparable to that of the Eight-Tails, and he is definitely far inferior to the Nine-Tails.

It's important to know that during the Fourth Shinobi World War, even half of the Nine-Tails was able to overpower the other tailed beasts; they were not even in the same league.

"Does their chakra have this ability?"

Night Moon Ai was surprised. He had read the information about Golden Horn and Silver Horn, and it seemed that they did not have this ability.

"It should be the power of the Nine-Tails. Gold and Silver Horns once devoured the flesh and blood of the Nine-Tails and obtained its power. There must be some residue in its corpse."

However, this ability wasn't mentioned in their intelligence files; it was likely a special ability that was activated after Ahao fused with the Nine-Tails' chakra.

Fukai had a guess, and as one of the candidates for Jinchūriki of the Tailed Beasts, he was well aware of this.

"The power of the Nine-Tails?"

Tu Tai's eyes flickered, and he had some ideas.

"How do you possess the abilities of an old lady?"

Just then, a red-haired girl peeked out from behind a rock, staring intently at a despicable villain.

"Why wasn't she tied up?"

Looking at the red-haired girl, Tamura Hao was displeased.

These important hostages should be tied up like dumplings and hung up for strict guard, but now they can roam freely and even hide in the shadows to eavesdrop on secrets.
