Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

After a night of fierce fighting, the three women didn't wake up until the next evening. Even Kushina, who had been knocked out in the first half of the night, woke up around the same time as the other two. She cried, but no tears came out because she had already run out of tears.

"Liars! They're all liars! Big liars!"

Kushina Uzumaki felt that she had been deceived, that everyone had deceived her.

"Let's share a room with Tsunade from now on."

Vanilla Whirlpool weakly suggested, "I really was on the verge of death before, and that feeling is indescribable."

This was only because Hao treated her gently; if he had been more aggressive, it would have definitely broken.

I thought it would be a battle of attrition, but Kushina has been sleeping until now and only just woke up, as have the other two.

No wonder Tsunade and the others insisted on recruiting them; things would really go wrong if they didn't bring people in.

Hao was not only powerful, but his combat skills were also beyond their imagination. They were on completely different levels, and from the very beginning, they were completely overwhelmed.

Just then, footsteps came from outside the door, and Kushina, who had been crying silently, instantly changed her expression, transforming into a cool and aloof goddess.

She would never expose her weakness to that brat. Last night was purely a mistake; she wasn't prepared, and it was her first time. It was reasonable that her fighting strength and willpower were lacking. She would definitely get her revenge next time.

"Get up and eat."

Tamura Hao pushed a small cart made of solidified chakra into the room, then manipulated the cart to transform into a three-meter-long bed table, on which were placed thirty dishes, each in a small portion, but absolutely abundant.

"snort!"

Kushina Uzumaki sat up and snorted, preparing to maintain her aloof persona. Then she noticed that her two best friends had already started eating, and they looked as if they wanted to devour their own portion as well.

"Disloyal!"

He cursed under his breath and hurriedly moved forward to get to work.

This is indeed my favorite food, very salty, so that little rascal put in some effort.

Tamura Hao watched from the side, his eyes filled with tenderness.

After all, they've been married for a long time.

"I plan to visit the Land of Whirlpools in a few days."

After the three finished eating, Tamura Hao explained the next part of the itinerary.

Now that they're married, they should go on their honeymoon. Since all three are from the Uzumaki clan, they should naturally go to the Land of Whirlpools first.

In any case, for my current cultivation, unless it is a specific type of cultivation, there are no requirements for the location or environment for ordinary cultivation.

"The Land of Whirlpools!"

Kushina couldn't help but think back to her childhood, when Uzushiogakure was still there, her grandfather, father, and mother were still there, everyone was still there, but afterwards she was all alone.

Grandma Mito said that people had been sent to bury everyone afterward, but she hadn't gone to pay her respects yet.

Vanilla and Hinokami also wanted to visit the Land of Whirlpools, which was their hometown and ancestral land.

Tamura Hao took the empty dishes downstairs to wash them. Although he hadn't done it in a long time, he certainly wouldn't lose his skill in housework. Anyway, it was just a matter of remotely controlling some chakra threads to tinker with, while he could just sit on the side and drink tea.

Five days after Uchiha Chiri and Uchiha Mikoto gave birth, the four of them set off for the Land of Whirlpools. They did not return until more than a month later, mainly because all three of them experienced varying degrees of morning sickness, with Kushina's being the most severe, and she had to return to recuperate.

At this point, it's not advisable to use medication; you can only endure it.

After the three women recovered, Tamura Hao decisively attacked Fat Sheep Teacher and the others. After fighting for nearly half a month, he confirmed that all four of them were pregnant again before he went to do his work with a sense of satisfaction.

"We were wrong; we should have separated them and let them get married."

On the same bed, Tsunade clutched her lower abdomen, on the verge of tears.

She only had two months of peace before she got pregnant again and was bullied for half a month.

If I had known this would happen, I would have let Kushina and the other two get married separately. That way, each of them could have a honeymoon of one or two months, which would add up to half a year.

"This can't go on any longer."

Uchiha Chiri was also getting fed up and even regretted her impulsive actions.

Why did you provoke that little man?

Mikoto Uchiha and Shizune were too weak to speak. For the past two weeks, they had been in a terrible state, sleeping during the day and being tormented at night. They had hardly ever left the house.

Even if they run away, they'll be caught and bullied at night.

They did consider joining forces to fight the enemy, and they even thought about tactics like a war of attrition, but it was just wishful thinking. Each of them could only hold out for one round, and then they would fall into a deep sleep the next day, like dead pigs, and no matter how much they were called, they couldn't be woken up.

It wasn't just physical exhaustion, but also mental exhaustion.

Leaving aside the resentment of the four women, on the other side, Tamura Hao was looking at a blonde older sister, who was the current director of Konoha's First Hospital.

"Lord Hokage, it is very impolite to look at a woman like that."

Yakushi Nonou's expression turned serious as she pondered the reason for his sudden appearance today.

"It is indeed impolite to stare at a woman like that, but it would be fine if it were my wife."

Tamura Hao was still admiring the girl in front of him. In his previous life, he hadn't been able to spend enough time with her because of his many schemes, so he would make up for it in this life.

"Does your philandering wife know that you're such a womanizer?"

After a moment of stunned silence, Yakushi Nonou found herself increasingly unable to fathom what the other was thinking.

"They probably all wish I would find a few more."

Tamura Hao is very certain of this, and his confidence stems from his own formidable strength.

There was a reason why he came over after dealing with Teacher Feiyang and his group: only by uniting the group could he gather more wives.

Conquering numerous women through time management and sweet talk is merely the act of a playboy; defeating the combined strength of many women through absolute power is the true act of a sea god.

Therefore, everything was harmonious after his death in his previous life.

"I'm sorry, I don't like sharing my feelings and marriage with other women. Hokage-sama, you wouldn't force me to marry you, would you?"

Her eyes flickered, and Yakushi Nonou decisively refused, but she felt uneasy. She felt that this person was targeting her, and so suddenly. Had her identity been exposed?

"Of course not, but I'll ask Danzo-sama's opinion, and Kabuto's as well."

With a gentle expression, Tamura Hao naturally wouldn't force his wife; he's always been a reasonable person.

These two names made Yakushi Nono freeze, especially when she heard the name Kabuto, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

How did this person know?

I hid it very well; there wasn't a single flaw.

Kabuto is also a rare genius, and they have never made any contact during the years they have been in Konoha. Kabuto doesn't even know of his existence, so how could the other party know?

When are you getting married?

After a moment of silence, Yakushi Nonou took off her glasses, resigning herself to her fate.

Having already revealed his greatest secret to the other party, and knowing of Kabuto's existence, he had no choice but to accept his fate.

You set the time.

Tamura Hiroshi's smile remained unchanged.

"The sixth of next month is an auspicious day."

After thinking it over, Yakushi Nonou set a date.

Actually, thinking about it, it's not such a bad thing. At least I don't have to live in constant fear anymore.

She was indifferent to her own safety, having been prepared for it since the day she became a tool of the Root, but she was only worried about Kabuto's safety.

Kabuto has now infiltrated Orochimaru's experimental base, but Orochimaru is no ordinary person. It would be too difficult and too dangerous to spy on him and spread the information.

Once exposed, the outcome is predictable; death is the easiest outcome, the worst is being unable to die even if you want to.

"I'll pick you up after you get off work. There are a few good movies showing right now, let's go see them."

After saying a few words, Tamura Hiroshi got up and left.

"Where exactly did things go wrong? Was it on Lord Danzo's side?"

Pharmacist Nonou still couldn't understand what went wrong. She had done everything perfectly these past few years, and her identity in the village was verifiable.

Even within the very core of the organization, very few people know his true identity. How could he have been exposed so suddenly?

Moreover, the Hokage's eyes were also strange, revealing a gentleness and kindness. Could it be that he really has taken a liking to me?

That shouldn't be the case; he's not the kind of person who lacks women.

What exactly happened?

Leaving aside the brainstorming session between Pharmacist Nono, Tamura Hiroshi wandered over to Orochimaru's experimental base.

The current experimental base has been moved out of Konoha, mainly because the Spear of Heaven is too big to fit in Konoha, so a new underground base has to be built outside.

"Are you willing to leave your cozy nest?"

Orochimaru, who was reviewing the reported data, glanced sideways at the person who walked in. He knew something about what had happened to this person recently.

Just a few days ago, I wanted to ask Tsunade for help with some research, but I found out that she had captured me and was giving birth to my child.

"That was a form of self-cultivation for me."

Tamura Hao decisively emphasized that it was cultivation, and it really was cultivation.

It's not just about helping Teacher Fei Yang and the others cultivate immortal bodies; it's also about using the immortal lotus within their bodies to promote the enhancement of his own creation immortal lotus.

He pioneered many types of dual cultivation methods in this area, which can be continuously improved and even broken through in battle.

Orochimaru, too lazy to argue with them, turned to look at the virtual Heavenly Spear in the center of the laboratory and said...

"The main structure has been designed. After the simulation, we will start fine-tuning and then modify and build it. The resources of Konoha Ninja Kingdom alone are far from enough."

Although Konoha is rich in resources, that mainly refers to resources suitable for ordinary people, especially arable land.

This plan requires various mineral resources, especially chakra conduction metals, in which the Land of Fire does not have an advantage.

The resources needed to complete the modification of the Heavenly Spear and finally fuse it with Wood Release to form the Fusang Divine Tree are enormous.

Exploring deep underground is too inefficient and takes too long. It's best to look for open-pit mines, which requires a vast territory to search.

"Unification is expected to be completed within five years."

Tamura revealed the outcome of the initial discussions: he would complete unification during his term, and then leave the matter of the grand integration to others.

"That's alright."

Orochimaru was very satisfied with this answer, and predicted that the Fusang Divine Tree could be created within ten years.

"Find a trustworthy person to take over here as soon as possible; I have other research to do."

Orochimaru didn't want to be locked up here forever. After working with the Second Hokage to complete the main structural design of the Spear of Heaven and the Fusang Divine Tree, he lost interest in it.

The next steps are nothing more than some tedious verification and fine-tuning work, as well as modification and setup, which don't require him to stay here and supervise.

Most importantly, he made new discoveries about the bodies of the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha, requiring him to devote himself entirely to the study of the past.

"How is the child?"

Tamura Hiroshi looked at a bespectacled boy not far from the laboratory. Although the boy was facing away from them, he was observing them through the reflection on the inside of his glasses.

You mean pocket?

Orochimaru turned his head to look, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

"He has a familiar scent about him, the kind that only people from that place have. But he's quite capable and mature beyond his years, somewhat like you, Haojun, back then."

He had actually noticed the child's abnormality long ago, but since the child was indeed very outstanding, he had let it go. He never expected that Haojun would also notice the abnormality in the other party.

Kabuto, who had been reading the two's lips through the reflection of his glasses, froze completely, and his vest was soaked with cold sweat.

"Snake Uncle has a very high opinion of him."

Tamura Hao wasn't surprised by Orochimaru's assessment, after all, Kabuto Yakushi was truly outstanding, both in terms of intellect and aptitude.

If he hadn't been fooled by Danzo Shimura and Orochimaru one after the other, he wouldn't have lost himself.

Do you think he has a chance of becoming the seventh generation?

"Does Haojun want to mentor him?"

Orochimaru was surprised. Although the child had some abilities, it shouldn't be worth so much from this person.

"There are some things I need to plan ahead of time. According to the current plan, Shisui will become the sixth generation without much problem, but there won't be many outstanding talents after him."

Although Itachi's intelligence and talent are no less than Shisui's, and his future achievements are not low, it is not advisable for the Hokage to be held by the same surname for two consecutive terms. It is enough for the Uchiha to produce one Hokage to prove that the position is valid.

It wouldn't be appropriate to find someone older than Shisui, as that would make it seem like Konoha has no one left.

I've been looking for candidates for a while now, and I've found a few, but none of them are perfect. Some have great minds but lack aptitude, while others have good aptitude but aren't mentally sharp enough.

That kid must be pretty good to have earned your praise, Uncle Snake.

Does Snake have any intention of taking someone on as a disciple?

Tamura Hiroshi had the idea of ​​training Kabuto Yakushi. One reason was that Kabuto was indeed excellent, as evidenced by his ability to use Sage Mode in the bathhouse on his own in the original story, and that it was a permanent Sage Mode.

His aptitude, especially in immortal arts, makes him well-suited to lead the upcoming Fusang Divine Tree Project.

The second point is that the other party is Nono's adopted son. He felt sorry for Nono in the previous life, so he wants to make it up to her in this life.

"You want him to make up for my regrets from back then?"

Orochimaru was moved. He truly regretted what happened back then, and it would be great if he could train a Hokage.

"If he were to lead the Fusang Divine Tree Project and make it a success, that achievement would be enough to make him the seventh generation."

According to my plan, each Hokage has set specific goals during their term of office.

Tsunade's mission was to stabilize the domestic and village situation, disband the ninja clan, accumulate strength, and prepare for the unification of the world.

My goal is to achieve unification and completely eliminate war.

The sixth generation's goal is to further stabilize the situation, complete the great integration, and form a truly unified empire.

The seventh generation's goal was to use the Fusang Divine Tree Project as a foundation to rapidly enhance the empire's strength, so the seventh generation could only leave from here.

I just don't know if that child has the potential in that area.

Tamura Hiroshi set a five-year plan for each generation, which had to be completed. Moreover, in this world with a cultivation civilization, some things could be accelerated artificially, which could greatly increase the speed of development.

"pocket!"

After thinking for a while, Orochimaru waved to Kabuto Yakushi.

Kabuto, who was already sweating profusely, hesitated for a moment, but eventually came over.

"Hokage-sama! Orochimaru-sama!"

He bowed respectfully to the two of them. Although he was extremely nervous, he still managed to read their lips and understand what they were saying.

Although it felt surreal and confusing, he had no choice but to comply, as he had no other option, and it was a great thing for him.

"Kabuto, I'll be staying here for three years. During these three years, you'll learn from me. After three years, are you confident you can take charge of the project here?"

Orochimaru asked directly, admitting that he did indeed need a disciple to carry on his legacy.

Although we have a daughter named Hongdou, that girl's intelligence is limited, and she can't inherit much from her. This purse is indeed quite suitable.

"have!"

Taking a deep breath, Kabuto looked up and replied earnestly.

At this point, you have to have confidence even if you don't, otherwise you might be destroyed by humane means.

"He's a good boy!"

Orochimaru was very pleased with this confidence and seriousness, and then offered a word of comfort.

"Although I don't know how that old guy controlled you, it's not a problem here. They're just a bunch of stray dogs, not worth mentioning."

However, there's no need to sever ties with them. You can use this opportunity to send them some special intelligence to guide their advances; the degree of intervention is up to you.

This is quite a test for the child.

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru, I understand."

The pharmacist breathed a sigh of relief. Although he still had doubts, it didn't seem like a bad thing at the moment.

"Hokage-sama, why did you choose me?"

He hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at the dashing young man. He didn't understand why this man would choose him, a spy.

"Go visit your mother when you have time; she's now the director of Konoha's First Hospital."

Also, remember to come to my and your mother's wedding on the 6th of next month.

Tamura Hao explained the reason, but it made Orochimaru's expression turn strange.

"Kabuto is the adopted son of Nono. You may not be familiar with the name Nono, but she has a title: the Walking Shrine Maiden."

Seeing Snake's strange expression, Tamura Hao helplessly explained, lest the man imagine some melodramatic plot.

Because of his existence, many things changed. Orochimaru did not meet Yakushi Nono with Shimura Danzo, nor did he know of Kabuto's existence; otherwise, he would have seen through it long ago.

"It's her!"

Orochimaru understood the title; he had heard of it before. It referred to the most outstanding spy in Root who had brought back a lot of valuable intelligence.

However, no one has ever seen the other's true face; this has always been a secret, and even within the Root organization, very few have seen it.

He still couldn't understand how the two of them got together. Hao Jun didn't seem like the type to be seduced by a honey trap.

Is there some hidden story behind this?

"The Dean?"

Kabuto was stunned. He really didn't expect the reason to be with the headmaster, and that the headmaster was going to marry the Hokage.

What kind of operation is this?

Could it be that the Dean used his beauty to win over the Hokage, capturing his heart so that even if his identity was exposed, it wouldn't matter, and he could even get the Hokage to train him to become the Seventh Hokage?

With his mind racing, Kabuto quickly conjured up a series of high-energy spy dramas in his mind and was filled with admiration for the dean.

The dean truly deserves to be called the best spy; I am still far inferior to him.
