Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 55 Minato Namikaze

"Got it!"

Yotsuki Ai nodded and said, "There's not much to say about Iwagakure. The Third Tsuchikage's policies emphasize collective strength. Only his son, Kyoto, is somewhat acceptable. Then there's the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Shiki, whose strength surpasses the Jonin level. He came here to participate in the battle before."

The three people from Sunagakure are the same ones who came to the village last time.

There are many geniuses in Kirigakure. According to the intelligence we obtained, they are forming a team of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. The fat guy we captured earlier and his ninja sword are part of that team.

Konoha has too many geniuses. They are all members of various major ninja clans. With their bloodline limits and secret techniques, they are far stronger than ordinary ninjas. They are basically all geniuses.

When Konoha was mentioned, Yotsuki Ai's expression was not good. Compared to Konoha, their Kumogakure was far inferior.

Konoha has a plethora of clans with bloodline limits, numerous clans with secret techniques, and an abundance of geniuses.

After thinking for a moment, Tamura Hao asked, "Are there any outstanding ordinary geniuses?"

"There's a guy named Minato Namikaze, who's about your age and still studying at the Ninja Academy. He has a record of defeating Uchiha, Senju, and Hyuga clan classmates, and he may now have strength close to that of a Special Jonin."

I heard that he applied to graduate at the age of eight, but was not approved. Also, it seems that Jiraiya, a disciple of the Third Hokage, has taken him as a student, and he has demonstrated many ninjutsu techniques at the Ninja Academy.

Speaking of a certain person, Ye Yue Ai was quite interested in that wave of Minato Namikaze.

It is quite rare for a child of commoner origin to defeat a ninja child of the same age.

"That's too outstanding. He's probably not a true commoner. He might have an extraordinary background, like the two disciples of the Third Hokage. His future achievements will definitely be remarkable, and he will surely be a great enemy of our Hidden Cloud Village."

Tamura Hao did not believe that Minato Namikaze was of commoner origin, but at most a descendant of a fallen ninja clan.

In the Naruto world, where bloodlines are highly valued, it's impossible to become a strong person without a good bloodline.

Minato Namikaze's performance was outstanding, incredibly strong, almost like he was using a cheat code; he was even more powerful than Kakashi.

Moreover, he remembered that Minato Namikaze had five chakra natures, which was not a talent that ordinary people could have. In addition, the amount of chakra he possessed was completely unrelated to the word "ordinary people".

Orochimaru and Jiraiya are the same; they are definitely not ordinary people, especially Orochimaru's innate snake eyes, which are something that ordinary people cannot possess.

"That's true."

Yozuki Ai agreed with this, and besides, Minato Namikaze had a surname, while commoners didn't.

A true commoner ninja should have physical attributes like Ah Hao's. His pitiful amount of chakra is the standard for a commoner ninja. Even if he were given powerful ninjutsu, he wouldn't be able to use it.

Fortunately, Ahao has high comprehension, which can make up for his lack of talent to some extent.

Unfortunately, becoming a Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast requires an immense chakra talent in order to contend with and fuse with the chakra of the Tailed Beast, something that A-Hao is not suited for.

Otherwise, sealing one of the Eight-Tails' tentacles and making it a Jinchuriki of a Tailed Beast would definitely boost its strength.

"They've almost finished packing. We need to leave as soon as possible. Father and the others are having their final discussion. Come with me and listen in."

Ye Yue Ai greeted them, after all, this was not the Land of Thunder, it was not safe to stay here, and the village could not be without her father for a long time.

Tamura Hao quickly followed, also wanting to return to Kumogakure as soon as possible to continue his clandestine development and learn Lightning Release ninjutsu. It would be even better if he could develop Chidori.

It's not that he has any obsession with Chidori, but rather that Chidori has great potential. Like Sasuke Uchiha, he could use Chidori as a foundation to evolve and extend its applications, forming a system, and could even extend it into two S-rank ninjutsu, Raikiri and Kirin.

In particular, the Kirin draws upon the lightning attacks of nature, which consumes far less chakra, making it the most suitable for him.

This way, you can deal with all kinds of opponents without wasting time learning many unrelated ninjutsu.

Of course, there were also some Lightning Release ninjutsu from Kumogakure that he valued, namely the Lightning Release Armor, the Third Raikage's Hell Thrust, and the Ultrasonic Lightning Release Blade used by Killer Bee in the future.

Teacher Fukai knows that ninjutsu, which can greatly enhance the sharpness of the ninja sword, giving it penetrating and cutting power that surpasses even Wind Release, making it virtually indestructible. Once you learn it, it will definitely be incredibly satisfying to use it with your own twin swords.

Meanwhile, the Supersonic Lightning Blade is a type of empowerment ninjutsu, so it doesn't consume much energy, much less than those that release energy, making it very suitable for a ninja like myself with limited chakra to train.

If you increase your chakra tenfold from your current level, you can learn to use it.

That's right, it's ten times.

There's nothing we can do; his chakra talent is just too pathetic, and coupled with the limitations of his age and body, it's simply unbearable to watch.

The two quickly entered a large tent, where many people had gathered. The Third Raikage was naturally seated in the main seat.

Seeing his son and disciple enter, the Third Raikage smiled, especially at the disciple.

That brain of theirs is really useful!

Tamura Hao and Yozuki Ai didn't say much, but silently came to the back of the earthen platform and listened to the discussion.

There were many things to discuss, including the resettlement of the Uzumaki clan after they entered Kumogakure, the intentions for the upcoming Shinobi World War, and the capture of the Hokage's son, Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

"I propose sending the Hokage's son to Sunagakure. His identity is very special, and we cannot kill him ourselves."

It just so happens that Konoha has positioned the Sarutobi and Shimura clans on the front lines against Sunagakure, and I believe Sunagakure will make good use of this.

Furthermore, since we have annihilated the elite forces of the Shimura and Sarutobi clans, Sunagakure might be able to break through their defenses and penetrate into the Land of Fire, drawing away Konoha's main force.

In addition, according to the information we obtained from the mind of a Sunagakure puppeteer, the Second Kazekage seems to have created a forbidden technique for making human puppets, which involves turning people into puppets and making them even stronger in combat.

Sending the corpses of the Konoha ninjas there together would definitely cause even greater damage to Konoha during the battle.

Tsuchitai suggested sending Sarutobi Shinnosuke to Sunagakure as a way to divert trouble.

"I think it would be better to send them to Iwagakure. Konoha sent members of the Senju clan there, which would be a good opportunity to deepen the conflict between the Third Hokage's faction and the Senju clan..."

Some people raised different opinions, believing that it would be more appropriate to send them to Iwagakure Village.

After some deliberation, the Third Raikage made a decision, saying, "Send it to Sunagakure. The Land of Earth is closer to us, and Onoki is a cunning old fox. It's better for Sunagakure to benefit from this than for Iwagakure to benefit."

Of course, this is just the official statement. In reality, what he wanted was not to deepen the conflict between the Senju clan and the Third Hokage's lineage, but to have the Senju clan wiped out in this Shinobi World War.

He didn't want the Senju clan to produce another First Hokage, and he would naturally kill them if given the chance.

Tamura Hiroshi had some ulterior motives. Since Sarutobi Shinnosuke was still alive, even if he was sent to Sunagakure, he might not actually be killed. It would be better if he were sent back to Konoha through some kind of deal.

Although it's difficult to kill him, cutting off a part of him shouldn't be a problem, at least it can completely prevent Sarutobi Konohamaru from appearing.
