Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Besides his own training, Tamura Hiroshi's next task is to accompany Nonou.

Spending time with him after get off work, spending time with him on holidays, as if trying to make up for that little bit of guilt from his past life.

The wedding day arrived quickly. Nara Shikaku and others were asked to handle the arrangements, and another round of gifts were received. The couple entered the bridal chamber, and it was already the evening of the next day when Yakushi Nonou woke up again.

"Dinner's ready."

Tamura Hiroshi walked in carrying a large plate of sumptuous dinner, created a bed table with chakra, and then helped Yakushi Nonou sit up.

Compared to Kushina and the others who had been training with him for a long time, Yakushi Nonou was much weaker in terms of physical fitness. Even though she had improved a lot with the help of the Immortal Lotus over the past month, there was still a gap. So she had only just woken up and was still very weak.

Pharmacist Nonou silently ate the sumptuous dinner, and only then did she feel her body regain some strength, but she still had doubts in her heart.

Why?

She has been very happy this past month; this man has been truly good to her.

Kabuto had visited her before and mentioned how much this person valued her, even suggesting that he might groom her for the Seventh Generation, which only deepened her confusion.

"Would you believe me if I said we were husband and wife in our past life?"

Tamura Hao held the beauty in his arms and kissed her tenderly.

The only person he felt indebted to in his previous life was this one.

"It's hard to understand, but I believe it."

After tilting his head and thinking for a moment, Yakushi Nonou finally chose to believe.

She wasn't looking to get to the bottom of this; the important thing was the present.

Not only did he break free from the control of Shimura Danzo and Root, but Kabuto also broke free and was given important responsibilities.

After a month of getting to know him and observing him, she realized that he was sincere, and that was enough.

Moreover, for some reason, she felt a deep sense of familiarity with this person after getting to know him, and the more time she spent with him, the stronger that feeling became.

"Where do you want to go next? I've helped you resign from your position as hospital director and built a super-large orphanage outside the village that can take in and house more than 100,000 orphans. When you come back, you can go there and be the director."

Tamura Hiroshi talked about his upcoming honeymoon plans and his plans for the orphanage.

"I want to go see them all and have some fun."

With a blink of her beautiful eyes, Yakushi Nonou has a big heart and wants to go and see everything.

Although she had been to many places before, especially many ninja villages, she was always on missions and had no time or mood to appreciate the local culture and scenery.

Now that I am free, I will go and see.

"Let's start from Hokage Cliff."

Tamura Hao understood what this person was thinking and set his first target on Hokage Cliff.

Tamura Hiroshi's next task remains the same as before: to train and accompany Yakushi Nonou.

After three months of perfect service, Nono was sent back home, her belly already showing signs of pregnancy.

Nono was also an exceptionally lucky child, having sextuplets in her first pregnancy, a feat rarely seen even in her previous life.

"Am I going to have six more younger siblings?"

Upon hearing that the dean had returned, Kabuto immediately took leave to visit him, and then heard the good news.

I'm going to have six more younger siblings!

"There are six."

Pharmacist Nonou had a happy expression on her face. She had been very happy and relaxed these past few months. She hadn't been this relaxed and happy since her parents passed away, and now she had her own child.

"Are all blond people this prolific?"

Uchiha Chiri, who came to visit with her big pregnant belly, was very puzzled. Tsunade was very prolific; her first pregnancy resulted in quadruplets, and her second pregnancy resulted in quintuplets.

This one is even more ruthless, starting with sextuplets. Are all blondies this fierce?

"If you want it, I can adjust it for you."

Tsunade, who was also heavily pregnant, rolled her eyes. "You think I wanted this?"

"That's an animal."

Kushina still harbors resentment; she was tormented terribly by that bastard back then.

"Where's that bastard?"

Mikoto Uchiha looked around but couldn't find that bastard. She had sensed that he wasn't in the village either.

There was a chakra reaction in the Hokage's office, but she knew it was just a split entity.

"We should go to the Land of Sand or the Land of Mist."

Jingyin replied that Hao had mentioned this before, and she also thought it was a good idea to bring people in.

There was nothing they could do; their husbands were too strong, and they couldn't handle it. They had no choice but to continue searching for comrades.

At the same time, Tamura Hiro was flying towards the Hidden Mist Village, or more precisely, the Hidden Mist Village.

Although the Ninja Kingdom was established, Kirigakure still existed, only now it had become a political center in addition to its former status as a purely military center.

Upon landing at the entrance of Kirigakure Village, Tamura Hao walked in openly and honestly, but his use of Yin power influenced the perception of those around him, causing them to subconsciously ignore him.

After taking a stroll around, I also sampled some of the local delicacies of Kirigakure.

In his previous life, he didn't have the chance to come to Kirigakure to taste its delicacies, mainly because Kirigakure was destroyed by Lord Danzo when he first came here, and he didn't even have time to see what Kirigakure was like.

Mei Terumi, who was working in the Mizukage Building, was unaware that an uninvited guest had arrived at her home. She was handling government affairs in her office and didn't finish processing the day's documents until after midnight. Then, she dragged her tired body home to take a hot bath and go to sleep.

Since becoming the Mizukage, she has been living the same life every day, and she is almost numb to it.

As soon as I stepped outside the bathroom door, I noticed something was wrong. Steam was coming out from the crack in the door, and the temperature inside the bathroom was higher than outside.

I haven't even gone in to turn on the water or heat it up yet, so how could there be hot water?

Despite her wariness and doubts, Mei Terumi was confident in her own abilities, and after thinking for a moment, she pushed open the door and went inside.

"I've already prepared hot water for you, and I've also added our Nara family's latest skin-care herbal soup."

While soaking in the bathtub, Tamura Hiroshi picked up the towel covering his face, revealing his signature gentle smile.

"Doesn't the Hokage feel it's rude to trespass on private property like this?"

As Mei Terumi spoke, she took off her dress, leaving only her underwear, and stepped into the bath, her beautiful eyes fixed on the man.

Why did this guy get here?

"Trespassing is indeed wrong, but it would be perfectly reasonable if it were my wife's house."

Tamura Hao's gentle smile remained unchanged. This was his own wife; it was not only reasonable for him to come over, but also legal and compliant.

"Is the Hokage planning to annex our Hidden Mist Country through a marriage alliance?"

Mei Terumi's eyes turned cold. This bastard is really disregarding Kirigakure.

"Is that not allowed?"

He countered with a question, expressing his complete confidence that the other person would definitely agree.

"The history of the ninja world spans over a thousand years. Starting from the legendary Ninja Clan era, it has been constantly engaged in battles and wars, which led to the chaotic Warring States period."

After that, our First Hokage officially started the era of the ninja village, but war was still not eliminated, and even gave rise to the more massive and brutal Ninja World War.

Now that we've entered the Ninja Kingdom era, another great war would be an even bloodier and more brutal world war. Does the Mizukage want to witness such a war?

"Are you threatening me?"

With her fists clenched tightly underwater, Terumi Meima wished she could kick him.

"You can see it as a threat, but I prefer to call it an objective fact."

After entering the Ninja Kingdom era, all countries were preparing for war with all their might. With the support of the nation's manpower and resources, the ninja villages developed greatly, grew much stronger, and had more material reserves. The outbreak of a world war was inevitable.

What I want to do is to achieve unification before the outbreak of world war. Our Konoha is currently the most powerful ninja nation, with overall strength and high-level capabilities surpassing the combined strength of your four nations. Only Konoha can achieve rapid unification.

Tamura Hiroshi is a very reasonable person, and he knows that this crazy woman is usually quite rational.

"I want the grandest wedding in the entire ninja world."

After a long silence, Mei Terumi made a request, which could be considered as acknowledging someone's statement.

There was nothing she could do; that was the objective reality. Long before, after the failed ambush in the Spirit World, she knew that Kirigakure had no future.

Konoha and that person were simply too strong. Compared to them, Kirigakure was pitifully weak, especially since their strong shinobi were almost wiped out during the Third Shinobi World War. The Fourth Mizukage was not chosen for a long time after that. He only became the Fourth Mizukage after he came of age and broke through to the Kage level.

Given the current state of the village and the situation in the ninja world, if a world war were to break out, it would inevitably be destroyed. Therefore, a marriage alliance with Konoha might not be a bad choice at this time.

As the Mizukage, she was prepared to sacrifice herself for the village, and was definitely not just lusting after that man's body.

This request surprised Tamura Hiroshi for a moment, then he shook his head with amusement. This was really the style of this crazy woman.

"I will hold the grandest wedding in the world for you. On that day, I will come to Kirigakure to marry you riding on a seven-colored cloud."

His expression turned solemn, and he solemnly made a promise.

The purpose of this marriage proposal is not only to obtain this wife, but also to take over the Kingdom of Mist.

Taking over the Land of Mist is not so simple. The two sides have accumulated too much enmity, so it is not easy to take it over. Even with Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami eye technique, it is still not easy.

This needs to be planned gradually, and it requires the cooperation of Terumi Mei.

Mei Terumi was very satisfied with the man's seriousness and immediately got up and walked over.

"Isn't it too fast?"

Seeing Mei Terumi forcefully suppress her shyness and enter celestial mode, Tamura Hiroshi was taken aback.

Shouldn't they break through on their wedding night?

"Who knows if you're lying to me? I'll get pregnant with your child first, and if you deny it later, I'll jump into the sea with the baby."

Mei Terumi wouldn't be easily fooled by a few words; she had to get insurance.

The opponent is too strong, and ordinary methods are ineffective in restraining them, so this is the only option.

"Not here, I'll carry you to your room."

Seeing his neuroticism, Tamura Hao sighed, got up, picked him up, and carried him to the room.

The first time should be done carefully to show sincerity and avoid making this crazy woman suspicious later.

"How did you build those muscles? They're so firm and strong."

Mei Terumi gently stroked his angular pectoral muscles, feeling the firm muscles beneath the supple skin.

"You'll soon find out how to train."

Tamura Hao returned a mysterious smile, then began preparations for battle. Ten minutes later, he activated war mode, and three hours later, he sent Terumi Mei to the Western Paradise to worship Buddha and seek scriptures.

After covering himself with the blanket, Tamura Hao returned to the bathroom for a quick wash, then, wearing a yukata, went to the residence of the current eldest master of Kirigakure.

Using the power of Yin to deceive everyone, he walked in openly and eventually arrived at Master Yuan's bedroom, where he took out the tea set he had brought and began to boil water and brew tea.

Yuan Shi was, after all, an excellent ninja. Even though he was old, he still maintained the habits and vigilance of a ninja. He woke up quickly upon hearing the noise and instinctively took out a kunai from under his pillow.

"Senior Master Yuan, this is the best tea in our Konoha Ninja Country. It is a celestial tea tree brought from the three holy lands, and it has the effect of calming the mind and nourishing the spirit."

Hearing the noise, Tamura Hiroshi invited him to have some tea without even looking up.

"Naruto!"

After seeing the person's figure and appearance clearly, Master Yuan was silent for a moment, put the kunai back under his pillow, got out of bed, walked over and knelt down.

"Excellent tea!"

I picked up the teacup and took a sniff. My mind cleared up quickly, and I felt much more energetic. I couldn't help but admire it.

It is indeed a fine tea!

He blew on the tea, took a sip and felt even more refreshed. He then put down the teacup and looked at the dashing young man opposite him.

"Has the Hokage come here to take over our Land of Mist?"

He had actually anticipated that the other party would come. He had heard about the changes in Konoha's preparations over the years and had also studied the working style of this new generation Hokage.

"Right now, all five great ninja nations are preparing for war with all their might. The Fourth Shinobi World War will break out in at most twenty years. At that time, it will not be the Shinobi World War, but a more brutal world war, and even more people will die."

"Konoha and I possess the power to unify the world, so we should act quickly to prevent the outbreak of a world war; this would benefit both of us."

Tamura Hiroshi did not deny that, regardless of whether he had his own ambitions or was doing it for the sake of the world, he would do it.

"How do you plan to unify them?"

After a moment of silence, Master Yuan asked.

This is not just a fact, it's reality: the current ninja world and the world can no longer accommodate Kirigakure.

"I have already persuaded the Mizukage on the Kirigakure side. With the cooperation of my seniors, we can slowly transform Kirigakure from within. When the time is right, we can guide Kirigakure to integrate into Konoha."

After the unification of the world is completed, the name Konoha will be abolished, and the new empire will be named the Sage Ninja Empire, with "Sage" for Sage Arts and "Ninja" for Ninja.

Tamura Hao briefly explained his plans for Kirigakure, without specifying any detailed plans, leaving it to Mei Terumi and Genji to figure out as they saw fit.

"Have you already been to Xiaoming's place?"

Master Yuan understood. It seemed that Xiao Ming had agreed, and indeed he had no way to refuse. Otherwise, this one person alone would be enough to destroy the entire Hidden Mist Village.

"Simply relying on words is not enough to convince me to cooperate with the Hokage's plan."

The murky gaze fell on the young man opposite him again. Yuan Shi knew he couldn't refuse, but he wouldn't cooperate unconditionally, or even betray some people in the village.

Tamura Hao didn't say much. He took out a celestial seed that he had prepared beforehand, condensed a Bagua seal, and sealed it into Yuan Shi's body.

Yuan Shi quickly experienced the effects of the Immortal Seed on his body. The most obvious change was in his chakra, which seemed to have been freed from some kind of constraint, making him much more agile.

"This is the foundation of our cultivation of immortal arts, just like the mediums used by the three holy lands to cultivate immortal modes. However, ours is not a temporary immortal mode, but rather a direct absorption and refinement of natural energy, just like the spirit beasts of the three holy lands themselves."

"Cultivating to a high level allows one to extend their lifespan like them, and also to possess a bloodline limit..."

After Master Yuan had a slight understanding of the benefits of the Immortal Seed, Tamura Hao began to explain the various functions of the Immortal Seed.

"Konoha is indeed far beyond our capabilities."

After listening, Master Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

Although it was only the other party's side of the story, he didn't believe that such a person would deceive him; the Hidden Mist Village was far inferior to the Hidden Leaf Village.

What will happen after we integrate into Konoha?

After calming his mind, Master Yuan inquired about the outcome. Only by knowing the result could he shape the process of submission, mainly by controlling the degree of submission within it.

"We welcome those who genuinely submit and will provide them with the same benefits and treatment as us."

However, there will be a three-year observation period, which will be stricter, but as long as you don't do anything wrong, you'll be fine.

"Senior, you must keep a close watch on things and prevent a small minority from harming the majority. I believe that most people in Kirigakure also yearn for peace."

Tamura Hiroshi gave a standard: he had done this kind of thing in his previous life, but he did it much more ruthlessly.

In this life, he doesn't have that much time to plan slowly, so he needs these insiders to cooperate.

"Is that all?"

Master Yuan was surprised; he had expected the punishment to be harsh, but the master was surprisingly lenient, even merciful.

"What I see is the whole world and the future."

Tamura Hao appeared very calm, and even exuded an unparalleled domineering aura.

"It's truly enviable that Konoha has someone like you."

After staring at it for a while, Master Yuan sighed, even feeling a bit envious and jealous.

Konoha first had the First Hokage, and now it has an even more outstanding and powerful Fifth Hokage, both of whom are beyond their imagination and possess invincible charisma.

With such a being as a Kage, it's no wonder that Konoha unified the world.

"I know how to proceed, and I will certainly deliver a satisfactory result to the Hokage."

After some deliberation, Master Yuan gave his response.

Since they've been so open about it, he naturally can't let them look down on him.

Moreover, this is the only option at present. Otherwise, if they choose to start a war, Kirigakure will inevitably be destroyed, and this person could even destroy Kirigakure right now.

The other three major ninja villages are in the same boat; none of them possess the strength to resist this person.

He learned this after the last battle in the spirit world: as the weak, one must be aware of one's weakness, otherwise it will inevitably end in tragedy.

Sometimes you have to be pragmatic in your dealings with people and things. Don't blindly rush headlong into things, or you'll only end up hurting yourself.

"We don't need to go too far. Those who are unwilling to submit to us can break away. There's no need to kill them outright. At least you don't have to lift a finger."

Tamura Hiroshi didn't want to push things too far, as that would cause a lot of trouble.

Once those people are separated, there will be plenty of opportunities to eliminate them. When the real Fourth War begins, those people will all be cannon fodder.

This applies not only to Kirigakure, but also to Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure.

In short, I will give you the opportunity; whether you want to seize it is up to you. If you give it up, don't complain in the end.

Of course, he wouldn't let the Ten-Tails appear. In his previous life, he had too many people to deal with, and his own top-tier experts were limited, so he could only develop in a sneaky manner.

This time it's different. Without the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki appearing, Princess Kaguya can draw Kaguya Otsutsuki's consciousness and original power out of the moon seal.

Just focus on Isshiki Otsutsuki; once you've mastered the power of time, you can start the battle. (End of Chapter)
