Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 49 Dying with Unresolved Feelings

"Don't worry, those inherited treasures will be included in the village. As long as you contribute enough and your loyalty is not an issue, you can go and cultivate."

Tamura Hao made a guarantee, storing the tile into the sealing spell of one of the armor plates.

The two felt a little better after receiving Tamura's assurance, but looking at the village in ruins still made them very sad.

"The village ultimately couldn't be saved!"

"Damn Konoha!"

Seeing the village's tragic state and being reminded of the culprit behind it all, Masahiko Uzumaki felt even more guilty.

Those three were the ones he allowed to enter the village; who would have thought they would cause such a great disaster?

"Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura will not have a good ending."

Whirlpool Aloe was filled with resentment; he would wait for those two down below.

Masahiko Uzumaki didn't say anything more. The chakra he maintained was slowly dissipating; he had reached the end.

"grandfather!"

Kushina cried even harder, realizing that her grandfather was nearing the end of his life and that she was about to lose him.

However, she didn't cry for long before Tamura Hao stepped forward and knocked the girl unconscious with a karate chop.

"You wretched brat!"

Seeing his granddaughter being treated like this, Masahiko Uzumaki, who was about to close his eyes, stared wide-eyed, as if he were dying with his eyes wide open, but a smile was on his lips.

This way, Kushina will be less heartbroken.

"We, the Hidden Cloud Village, absolutely cannot allow this situation to occur."

As Ye Yue and Ai approached, their resolve hardened as they looked at the two deceased elders.

The tragedy and devastation of Uzushiogakure must be remembered, and such a thing must never be allowed to happen in Kumogakure.

"Definitely not!"

Tamura Hao was also very determined. Kumogakure was his base, and he would not allow others to destroy it.

At this moment, cries rang out. The Whirlpool Clan members who had been relocated earlier had returned. Looking at the village reduced to ruins and the countless severed limbs of their clansmen, they were filled with immense grief.

In an instant, the entire village of Uzushiogakure was filled with weeping, and the whole village was shrouded in grief.

At the same time, there was hatred, hatred for Konoha.

They were allies, yet they were betrayed by their own ally; one can only imagine the hatred they felt.

"A huge village disappeared in the blink of an eye."

Tamura Hao sighed with emotion, realizing that ninja warfare was truly terrifying, especially in its unpredictable nature; a slight misstep could lead to total defeat.

Just like in the future Third Shinobi World War, when the strongest team from Kirigakure stormed into the Land of Fire, only to have Might Guy suddenly appear and kick them into the dust, turning them into a trio of misfortunes. The three survivors all fell into depravity with shattered hearts.

At the heart of all this is that young man from the Aburame clan, who is a strategic figure.

"So, Aburame Shiguro, the father of Aburame Torune, also became Danzo's henchman?"

He had a rough idea of ​​who it was. Aburame Torune hadn't been born yet, so it could only be the other person's father, and judging by the age, it was about right.

"Ninja warfare is unpredictable, ever-changing, and terrifying!"

Looking at the severed limbs scattered all over the ground, Tamura Hiroshi was still shaken.

This is also the main reason why he specially crafted a long sword to keep his distance from enemies during combat; he didn't want to get too close to this type of enemy, as it would be too dangerous.

"Our Cloud Village ninjas are less adept at using unorthodox methods compared to other ninja villages, which sometimes puts us at a disadvantage."

Fukai also lamented that the ninjas of their Hidden Cloud Village were better at direct combat and lacked a way to deal with such strange methods, which would put them at a disadvantage if they faced them.

"We need to acquire more to make up for our shortcomings, not just the Uzumaki clan."

Yotsuki Ai was well aware of the strengths and weaknesses of their Hidden Cloud Village. The strengths had to be further developed, but the weaknesses also needed to be addressed. The best way to do this was to learn from the outside world.

This is the plan against the Uzumaki clan, but it's not the end; they need more.

While chatting with the two, Tamura Hao led Samehada to devour the remaining chakra in the corpses, especially the corpses of Uzumaki clan ninjas.

The Uzumaki clan's chakra is not only vast, but also contains astonishing vitality. Samehada is very fond of this high-quality chakra and happily devours and absorbs it.

As Ye Yue Ai and Fu Kai looked at the corpses scattered on the ground, their fear grew.

The fact that the vast Uzushiogakure village and two thousand Sand and Rock ninja were wiped out by Konoha without a sound is truly terrifying.

Compared to Konoha's method, their previous battle in which Kumogakure annihilated the Kirigakure army is insignificant.

It's no wonder they're the strongest ninja village!

Tamura Hao was also amazed by Konoha's strength, noting the sheer number of ninja clans within, all of the highest quality, far surpassing any other ninja village.

While the other four major ninja villages have a considerable number of ninjas, they lack top-tier experts. Konoha, on the other hand, is able to mass-produce strong ninjas, even those at the Kage level.

Even with the Konoha F4's constant self-destructive infighting that led to the demise of the two founding clans, Konoha still became the strongest ninja village in the end. The Fourth Shinobi World War became a one-man show for Konoha, and its profound foundation is the envy of many.

"what?"

Suddenly, Fukai looked up at the sky. Tamura Hiro and Yozuki Ai noticed the abnormality and looked over as well, discovering a figure rising into the sky and leaving in the distance.

However, his movements were unsteady, indicating that he was not in good condition.

"It's the commander of the Iwagakure ninja army!"

Tamura Hao took out a pair of binoculars and immediately recognized the other party as the Iwa Ninja Army commander who had verbally humiliated them during the previous meeting.

Was it because you weren't in good condition before and didn't retreat immediately, that you only managed to escape now with chakra?

"Brother Ai, I think he needs your help. Don't let him fall to his death."

Tamura Hao saw this as an opportunity to kick a man when he was down. He, Tamura Hao, never held grudges and always sought revenge quickly.

These words drew a puzzled look from Ai Yozuki. What does the death of the Iwa ninja have to do with me?

He'd love for more Iwa ninja to die.

Tamura Hao explained earnestly, "I remember that you and the Third Hokage both have Earth Release. If you were to acquire the kind of gravity-reducing ninjutsu that Iwagakure has, or even flight techniques, your speed would be even faster, which would undoubtedly increase your combat power even more."

In the future Fourth Shinobi World War, the Third Tsuchikage and the Fourth Raikage fought together. The Third Tsuchikage used the Super Light Rock Technique on the Fourth Raikage to reduce his weight, thus increasing his speed.

For the Raikage, who is skilled in Lightning Release ninjutsu and taijutsu, increased speed means increased combat power.

If the Fourth Raikage could be upgraded, the even stronger Third Raikage would certainly be able to be upgraded as well, since both of them happen to have earth attributes.

"Damn it, don't die!"

Night Moon Ai was shocked and anxious. She quickly used her Lightning Release Armor to increase her speed and chased after him, fearing that the person would not be able to hold on and would fall to his death.

Although I can't fly, I can tell from the way the other person is swaying that they're not in good shape and won't last long.

"Hey!"

Seeing his cousin impulsively chase after him, Fokai felt quite helpless.

"Teacher, you should also go and take a look. While you're at it, create a clone to inform Lord Tsuchidae and the others, and have them send a genjutsu ninja over. The other party is poisoned by insects and definitely won't last long. We need to get that kind of earth-style ninjutsu as soon as possible."

"Now that everyone in Uzushiogakure is on our side, I'll be fine."

Tamura Hao said to Fukai that he also didn't want Yozuki Ai to have any accidents while chasing.

"Be careful. If anything goes wrong, use the explosive tag to call for help immediately."

Fukai gave a few instructions, then used his lightning clone to inform Lord Tsuchikatsu, while he himself chased after his cousin.

Tamura continued to use Samehada to touch the corpse, and Samehada seemed quite pleased with this, growing larger and larger.

But after walking for a short while, Tamura Hao suddenly sensed something was wrong. He grabbed the massive Samehada and held it in front of him as a shield, while a pair of explosive tags appeared in his hand, and he stared intently at a house nearby.

"Who goes there? Come out! If you don't come out, I'm throwing explosive tags."
