Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

After Ringo Jasmine arranged accommodations for the three of them, Tamura Hiroshi began examining and treating Uzumaki Vanilla.

Previously, I only observed the situation using medical ninjutsu and the Byakugan; more detailed information will require the assistance of medical equipment.

Kushina Uzumaki and Hinokami Uzumaki also came to watch. One of them had worked in the Senju family, and the other had worked in a laboratory. Both of them had enough medical knowledge to understand the data displayed by the equipment.

After seeing Vanilla's various physical data, both of them were furious.

"Damn Kusagakure."

Kushina wished she could rush to Kusagakure right now and wipe out that hateful and evil village.

"Is it treatable?"

Hinoka noticed that the boy's expression remained calm, and guessed that the situation should not be difficult for him, meaning that it could be treated.

Kushina cast a hopeful glance at him, her heart pounding with anxiety, fearing he might say there was no hope.

"She has simply overdrawn her life force; the number of her body's cells dividing has not been affected. All she needs to do is replenish the overdrawn life force."

As Tamura Hao spoke, he took out three fist-sized Grell Stones from the vault next to him and sealed one of them into the Death Gate of the Vortex Vanilla Heart.

As the Grell Stone entered her body, the slowly released pure life force made Vanilla Whirlpool feel much lighter, as if she had just received rain after a long drought, and her face quickly regained its rosy hue.

"Restoring vitality is only one aspect; nutritional supplementation also needs to keep up. With one or two years of recuperation, he should be fully recovered."

After using the Byakugan to check on Vanilla's recovery and confirming that there were no problems, she turned off the Byakugan and then looked at Kushina and Hinokami.

"This is a crystallization of pure life force, which will be of great benefit to you."

He couldn't possibly trust these three people, so the Grell Stone served as a layer of insurance.

"There must be some control mechanisms inside, right?"

Kushina Uzumaki gave them a disdainful look, knowing that the other party would definitely make a move against them.

"It's good that you know, why say it out loud? You don't want me to be suspicious and wary of you every day from now on, do you?"

Tamura Hiroshi did not deny it, saying that everyone is an adult and there is no need to play those roundabout games.

"bring it on!"

Kushina Uzumaki did not refuse, and pulled open her collar to reveal her chest.

She had anticipated this and was mentally prepared when she came with this kid.

Hinoka hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not refuse. She pulled open her collar to reveal her chest, though her pretty face couldn't help but blush.

Tamura was very satisfied with the cooperation between the two. He sealed the two Grell Stones into the Death Gates of their hearts. The curse seals inside were closely connected to the Death Gates and merged into one.

Having dealt with the three vortexes, Tamura Hao began his next plan: to use the Amber Purification Bottle and the Flying Thunder God Technique to transfer all the Ringo clan members from Kirigakure.

The reason for doing this is twofold. First, the construction of Turtle Island requires a large number of trustworthy people. The hundreds of Ringo ninjas here still need to train and improve their strength, and they cannot be delayed by this matter.

Secondly, some research has made groundbreaking progress, which requires the cooperation of the Lin'ao people.

Of course, after bringing the Ringo people over, they were first identified one by one using illusion magic. Those spies and those who had been bribed were naturally given euthanasia, and the verdicts were announced and executed in public.

The Ringo people had no objection to this; regardless of their group, they all harbored immense hatred for traitors, far exceeding their hatred for enemies.

Not to mention that these people were ordered to steal the secrets of their family's puppet armor, which made it even more intolerable.

The crowd was in a frenzy; if it weren't for the Ringo ninjas holding them back, they would have rushed up and torn the group of traitors to pieces.

After dealing with this group of traitors, Tamura Hiroshi summoned all the clansmen over the age of eighteen.

"You should all have heard of my existence in the village. My aunt also wrote a letter back to the family before."

Perhaps none of you understand why my father-in-law appointed me as the new head of the family before his death.

Now I will tell you about the contributions I have made to the family…”

In a large hall, Tamura Hiroshi looked at the hundreds of Ringo clan members present and recounted the many contributions he had made to his clan.

It was only then that the Ringo people truly understood their new head of the clan, and they were deeply shocked.

They knew about the new head of the family before, but not much. However, they did know about the amazing achievements of the family's ninjas in the past two years, and they never expected that it was all because of this new head of the family.

In this way, it was indeed a wise choice for the old patriarch to choose the other party as the new patriarch.

"The death of my father-in-law, the previous head of the family, has been investigated and found to be caused by the Mizukage faction of the village leaking information to Kumogakure."

The village has suffered greatly from the persecution caused by the struggle between the two major factions over the years, and countless compatriots have died as a result…

After recounting his own achievements, Tamura Hiroshi turned to the village's problems, setting the stage for the next topic.

The Ringo clan members present were also very angry. As members of the ninja clan, they knew more or less about what was happening inside the village, but they never expected that one day it would affect them, even causing the clan leader to die in battle and almost wiping out all the Jonin in the clan.

"Among those traitors just now, four of them were ordered by the third generation leader. He also has his eye on our Ringo family's puppet armor and will surely try to seize it by trickery and force."

However, the Puppet Armor is the crucial foundation for our family's future survival and cannot be handed over. Furthermore, the Third Generation might even turn against us and eliminate us after obtaining the manufacturing method, thus seizing the Puppet Armor for himself.

Upon hearing this, all the Ringo tribesmen nodded in agreement. They had long been familiar with the way the third generation leader did things, and the village's Blood Mist policy over the years was the best example of this.

Seeing that all the clansmen agreed with this view, Tamura Hao took a deep breath and said loudly, "So we have no way out. If we want the clan to survive and continue to grow, we can only destroy those two major factions."

Therefore, I have decided to participate in this competition for the Fourth Mizukage's succession, to become the Fourth Mizukage, and to lead the clan to unprecedented glory.

"Become the Water Shadow, and achieve glory!"

Ringo Iwato and the others immediately responded with shouts, their expressions filled with fervor.

They had the deepest appreciation for his talent, which had surpassed that of the former patriarch, and the contributions he had made to the family were unimaginable.

They all firmly believed that under this person's leadership, their Ringo family would reach an unprecedented peak, becoming a top-tier wealthy family, or even surpassing it.

"Become the Water Shadow, and achieve glory!"

The other tribesmen were also swayed by the cheers, their hearts gradually filled with fervor, and they increasingly recognized the importance of their chieftain.

Looking at the enthusiastic shouts of his clansmen, Tamura Hao was very satisfied; this was exactly the effect he wanted.

After waiting a while, he raised his hand and gestured for everyone to quiet down.

"We all know that our ninja clans rule this ninja world. Whether it is a bloodline ninja clan or a secret technique ninja clan, the power we possess is far beyond what ordinary ninjas can compare to."

Furthermore, the power of bloodline ninja clans is superior to that of secret technique ninja clans. Among the ten great clans of the ninja world, only the Hozuki clan and the Yotsuki clan of Kumogakure are secret technique ninja clans, while the other nine are bloodline ninja clans.

Our Ringo clan has two paths to transform into a bloodline ninja clan: either one person fuses with a bloodline limit, or a ninja with a bloodline limit is incorporated into the clan.

I have been researching this and finally broke through the fetal cultivation technology not long ago. It is possible to cultivate a complete fetus using the reproductive cells of one male and one female, which will eventually grow into a healthy baby.

In other words, we can now independently cultivate children with bloodline powers, but what we need are children with the bloodline of our Ringo family.

Therefore, one of the two reproductive cells must come from our Ringo Ninja clan.

At this point, Tamura Hiroshi glanced at everyone present.

"The reason we brought you all out of the village is twofold: first, to prevent those people from harming you, and second, for this plan."

I need your reproductive cells to cultivate the bloodline of our Ringo family. After those children are born, you will need to raise them to adulthood, instill the will of our Ringo family, and nurture them into our clan members both physically and mentally.

We currently have a reserve of reproductive cells from many bloodline ninja clans, including the Senju, Uchiha, Uzumaki, Hyuga, Kaguya, Minazuki, and Kakuzu clans...

All of these allow us to cultivate children with powerful bloodlines. This is not mandatory; it is entirely voluntary. Anyone willing to contribute to the family can apply and choose their child's bloodline.

In conclusion, Tamura Hiroshi stated that it was entirely voluntary, but the child's bloodline could be chosen independently.

This bold and avant-garde plan left the Ringo people looking at each other in bewilderment, unable to make a decision for a while, especially the women.

Tamura Hao glanced at Ringo Iwato and the others. He had anticipated that this would be difficult to accept, so he had arranged for shills in advance.

Ringo Iwato and the others understood and immediately stepped forward to express their support.

"I am willing to contribute to my family!"

"I'd like to too!"

"I want the Uchiha bloodline limit."

"I want the Thousand Hands."

……

With someone taking the lead, and a considerable number of people doing so, the Linqie people quickly overcame their initial hurdle and expressed their willingness to contribute in this regard.

Thus, Tamura Hiroshi's deception plan was a complete success, and he obtained a batch of reproductive cells, which he would continue to obtain in the future.

After obtaining that batch of germ cells, they began the process of pairing them with corresponding germ cells according to their wishes to form embryos.

Of course, not all can be paired at will, because some only have parthenogenetic cells. For example, the bloodline cells of the Uzumaki clan originated from Uzumaki Mito and Uzumaki Kyuhin, and only contain eggs.

However, this is not a major problem; he can artificially induce the formation of twin structures for conception.

Moreover, this is the first generation; once the next generation that was educated grows up, they can get married and have children on their own.

"Is there anything you'd like to ask?"

After completing the pairing of two germ cells, Tamura Hao looked away from the microscope, twisted his sore neck, and looked at the chubby girl beside him.

"Where did you get your whorl germ cells?"

Kushina Uzumaki stared wide-eyed. Their Uzumaki clan had been wiped out long ago, so how could there possibly be any reproductive cells left behind?

Could it have been collected from those three women?

"Originated from the Root base. Back then, Danzo Shimura led the Root ninjas to obtain a lot of materials from your Uzushiogakure for research, but unfortunately, a lot of them were used up. I only managed to get two sets from the Root base."

Tamura Hao decisively shifted the blame to Shimura Danzo, since in the Naruto world, there was no one who couldn't take the blame.

"Damn Konoha!"

Kushina stared at the person suspiciously for a while before finally cursing angrily.

That Konoha deserves to die!

"When are you taking me to slaughter those old dogs?"

She desperately wanted to rush to Konoha and grind those old bastards to dust.

"That depends on when Konoha shows a weakness, after all, it is a major ninja village, and the most powerful one at that."

"And you need to lose weight too. You're so out of breath after just a few steps; you might not be able to catch up and let Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura escape."

Tamura Hao didn't actually want to kill Hiruzen Sarutobi. After all, he wasn't a Konoha resident. With Hiruzen Sarutobi and others around, Konoha's potential could be suppressed, preventing those ninja clans from developing too quickly.

Before Hiruzen Sarutobi died, the entire Hidden Leaf Village was lifeless. Even Orochimaru couldn't stand it anymore and personally came to urge the windmill of Hidden Leaf Village to start turning again.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi was killed, the other ninja clans immediately jumped out and beat the Sand Ninja and Sound Ninja to a pulp.

Too many people died in Konoha during Hiruzen Sarutobi's tenure. Not to mention Sakumo Hatake who committed suicide, even the Senju clan, one of the two founding clans, was wiped out, and the Uchiha clan was about to be wiped out as well. This shows how strong those people were in combat.

Therefore, someone like Hiruzen Sarutobi genuinely hoped to live to be a hundred years old.

"I'll lose weight, you don't need to worry about it."

When her figure was mentioned, Kushina immediately bristled, glared at someone resentfully, and quickly left this unpleasant place.

However, he really needs to cut back. When he was imprisoned, he basically gave up on himself, but now that he has regained his freedom, has the opportunity for revenge, and has his clansmen back, as the new patriarch of the Uzumaki clan, he must pull himself together.

"Wait, what are you doing with my sword?"

Suddenly sensing something was wrong, he called out to the chubby girl who was about to leave the laboratory. She was carrying a two-handed greatsword on her back, which was none other than his Chi You sword.

"This is my Whirlpool Sword."

Kushina Uzumaki said something without turning her head, but then threw out a scroll.

Tamura Hiroshi raised his hand to catch the puzzled expression, and then smiled.

This is a very special sealing technique called the Vajra Transfer Seal. It can seal the Vajra Lock of the Uzumaki clan onto another person, just like the Uchiha clan's Transcription Seal. The difference is that this seal is permanent. As long as the seal is still there, the recipient can inject chakra to create the Vajra Lock.

This sealing technique must be a top secret of the Uzumaki clan, something that cannot be taught to anyone outside the direct lineage. Even among the many books he obtained from the Thousand Hands Wood Tower, there was none, not even a record of it.

"We'll have to forge another weapon."

After reading the document on the Vajra Transformation, Tamura Hao decisively abandoned the Chi You Sword that he had meticulously crafted for himself.

Ultimately, it's just a weapon. In terms of value, it can't compare to this Kongo Seal. With this, he can seal Mito Uzumaki's Kongo Seal onto his body, increasing the compatibility. This will allow him to unleash more Kongo Seals, significantly boosting his combat power.

Especially the upcoming battle for the position of Water Shadow.

There was another reason why the clansmen were brought out on this adventure: the Three-Tailed Fox had been resurrected, a piece of information the clan had obtained from the village.

After receiving the information, he went to check the place where the Three-Tails had been resurrected, but he did not sense the presence of the Three-Tails.

At that time, he realized that the Three-Tails might have been sealed inside Yagura's body and was most likely controlled by Obito Uchiha.

In other words, Obito Uchiha is about to officially begin his revenge against Kirigakure. He will use Yagura Karatachi to carry out an even more brutal Blood Mist policy in Kirigakure, and a battle will be inevitable if he wants to compete for the position of Mizukage.

This makes Mito's Vortex Lockdown very important.

Even with Kushina and the other two around, he couldn't relax. He felt most at ease only after obtaining sufficient Adamantine Sealing Technique.

The Vajra Lock is a manifestation of Yin Escape creating form from nothingness, which is beneficial for one's own understanding and cultivation of Yin attributes, and can be said to have many advantages.

After thinking for a moment, Tamura Hiroshi went to a secret room on the side of the laboratory, where a knife was sealed, a knife that had been made long ago.

It was a huge scythe, two meters long, with a blade shaped like a giant crescent moon, sharpened at both ends and on both sides.

It was pure white with a faint hint of pale gray, and contained the energy separated from the Kaguya clan leader, which was why it was covered with cracks.

The Kaguya clan's Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse) is like that; the higher the level of development, the greater the damage to the body. Kimimaro died from this bloodline disease in the future.

This is similar to the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan. The Mangekyou Sharingan has a limited number of uses and will eventually lead to complete blindness. At the same time, using Susanoo will also drain the body's life force, which is what killed Itachi Uchiha.

However, this type of bloodline power is a double-edged sword. While it can harm the user, it is also more powerful than ordinary bloodlines. This is the case with the Corpse Bone Pulse.

After Tamura Hiroshi separated this power using Hashirama's cells, he conducted numerous tests. This power was indeed related to Kaguya Otsutsuki's All-Killing Ash Bones, capable of destroying cells and disintegrating chakra.

However, its effect is far inferior to that of the All-Killing Ash Bones, making it a super low-end version.

The wound inflicted by this knife cannot heal because the surrounding cells have been killed. The only way to cure it is to remove the entire piece of flesh.

This is a rather dangerous knife.

However, this power also brings some problems. This energy can kill not only the cells of others, but also the bone cells of the Corpse Bone Vein. Yet, this energy can only reside in the cells of the Corpse Bone Vein.

This has become a deadlock. The cracks on the scythe are caused by that energy, making it very fragile and unable to withstand the impact of battle. That's why he didn't bring the scythe with him in the last battle.

After Bone Demon perfected it, he also created a new blade for it, but even after transferring the power of the Corpse Bone Vein, it was still damaged into this state.

This is undoubtedly the strongest weapon he currently possesses, but unfortunately, he can't use it.

First, we need to find a way to enhance the weapon's strength and withstand the damage from the Corpse Bone Vein's power. This requires incorporating some top-tier materials, but unfortunately, we don't have any materials of that caliber at the moment.

Another aspect is enhancing the cells in the corpse's veins. He has some ideas in this regard, but it will take time to refine them.

"What a pity!"

With a sigh of regret, Tamura Hiroshi left and resealed the barrier around the gate.

The power emanating from that scythe of bones was too dangerous; even a slight touch would result in death or serious injury, so it had to be sealed away.

The main concern is to guard against that ill-mannered child bride; that girl can be quite reckless at times.
