Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 61 True Nature Revealed

Seeing the girl's despair and lifelessness, Tamura Hao tried to persuade her.

"Life is short, only a few decades. The most important thing is to be happy. Don't despair, you have a long road ahead of you, and anything is possible."

"Although you are disfigured, have become a one-eyed person, lost both legs, and your internal organs have been eaten away by poisonous insects to varying degrees, you may be bedridden for the rest of your life..."

Tamura Hiroshi described the girl's current situation and future life, which made the previously numb Karura turn her eyes.

Are you trying to comfort someone?

I am well aware of my situation; you don't need to tell me.

She was quite cute and funny back then!

Seeing that the girl finally reacted, Tamura Hao changed the subject and continued speaking.

"I have read information about the First Hokage of Konoha and found that he has an extremely terrifying self-healing ability. He can recover quickly from any physical injury. Even if his arm is cut off or he is cut in half at the waist, he can recover. He is practically immortal."

In other words, this is the level that chakra and ninjutsu can achieve, but it requires time to study and understand its mysteries.

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of light returned to the girl's previously numb heart. Could she ever recover?

But that light quickly faded, and Garura said hoarsely, "You don't need to comfort me. The power of the First Hokage is just a legend. Even Konoha has never seen that kind of power again, let alone anyone else."

The fact that no one like the First Hokage has appeared in Konoha since shows that such power is just a mythical legend.

It cannot be touched.

"I really don't have a talent for persuasion!"

Seeing the girl become numb and lifeless again, Tamura Hao couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark, and then changed to a wicked and arrogant expression.

"I command you to pull yourself together and start a new life, or I will strip you naked, take pictures, and send the photos to Luo Sha by express delivery."

I wonder what Luo Sha's expression and feelings will be when he sees you like this. I'm really looking forward to it!

And your parents and relatives, they must be feeling very desperate, right?

Right now they know you're dead. But when they find out you're alive and have become this ugly, grotesque creature, they'll experience a second wave of grief and sorrow. They don't know how your parents are doing, whether they can bear it. What if…”

Tamura Hao, with the face of a villainous pervert, fantasized that Master Lu once said the most efficient way to get out of current pain is to create an even greater pain to cover it up, which is much better than painstakingly deceiving people.

This left Garuto wide-eyed, never expecting that someone's style could change so quickly and so drastically.

Has the person been replaced?

After a while, Garuro calmed down a bit and said resolutely, "What do you want from me? I won't tell you the secrets of sand manipulation or the village's secrets."

She didn't know if what this person said was true or false, or even who this person really was, but she dared not gamble.

She didn't want Luo Sha and her parents to know how ugly she looked now, and she didn't want to hurt them.

Tamura was very satisfied with the girl's submission, and at the same time, he was impressed by the superb methods of his old leader, Danzo.

In the future, Lord Danzo used forceful and despicable means to coerce Yakushi Nonou into continuing to work, and now he is imitating him and seeing immediate results.

As expected, I, Tamura, am the one who has truly inherited Danzo's teachings. The future second leader of Root will surely be me, Tamura Hiten!

"We already learned about the Sand Manipulation Technique while you were unconscious using illusion techniques and drugs, and we also learned quite a bit about the secrets of Sunagakure."

As for me, I'd like to open a shop that specializes in making custom-made puppet prosthetics for disabled people. You seem to know a little about puppetry; after you're discharged from the hospital, make yourself a pair of puppet legs first, and then come work at my shop to earn money for me.

He's showing his capitalist side, highlighting that his greatest strength right now is his money, and the more the better.

He wants to get involved in any industry that can make money, and the disabled industry is definitely no exception.

Moreover, the Second Shinobi World War is about to begin, and there will definitely be many wounded and disabled people after the war. These are all high-quality customers!

At the same time, Karura's survival itself changes the plot, which is a kind of destiny for him. It's a win-win situation, isn't it?

"A prosthetic limb that's just for convenience is fine!"

After a long silence, Gallo finally gave in.

Although she wasn't a puppeteer, she had some knowledge of puppetry and knew that it wouldn't be difficult for her to make some simple prosthetics to make life easier.

Suddenly realizing something was wrong, she blinked her eyes blankly as she looked at the person who had already finished a bowl of fragrant hot porridge.

Isn't this hot porridge for me?

"This eight-treasure porridge is starting to taste more and more like home."

After finishing a bowl of eight-treasure porridge, Tamura Hao savored the taste and then took out a glass bottle filled with thick, dark red blood.

"The Uzumaki clan has a special constitution; their blood contains astonishing vitality that can help others recover from injuries. This is what I extracted from a mutilated corpse; I've already removed the poisonous insects inside."

While the effect isn't as good as fresh blood, the quantity is substantial and should be enough for your quick recovery.

This is one of the good things I found in Uzushiogakure village before, and it's very effective.

Furthermore, after returning to the village, they had it checked by designated personnel to ensure there were no problems before bringing it back.

"I won't drink it!"

Looking at the thick, blackish-red blood, Gallo felt a strong sense of resistance.

That's dead people's blood, it's disgusting.

"Your severe burns all over your body and the fact that your internal organs have been eaten away by poisonous insects won't heal easily. Be good, open your mouth."

Tamura Hao offered a few words of advice, then reached out and pinched the girl's cheek, prying open her mouth. Ignoring her resistance and struggle, he forcibly poured the foul-smelling blood into her mouth, even channeling his chakra into it.

This is for Karura's own good. The burns on his body surface are not so bad; at most, he will become a mummy like the Second Tsuchikage. However, his internal organs, which have been eaten by poisonous insects, are not so easy to recover from. Even if he manages to recover, he will be left with lasting health problems.

This kind of injury can only be resolved with cheat codes at this stage.

The blood of the Uzumaki clan was indeed powerful. Not long after drinking it, Garu's injuries recovered. Except for the inability of his legs to regenerate, his other injuries recovered very well. Even his burned skin recovered to a certain extent, at least without the twisted mutation.

"vomit!"

Upon recovering, Karura immediately rolled over and vomited into the trash can beside the bed, expelling the foul-smelling blood that had been drained of its life force.

Tamura Hiroshi was not surprised by this, which was the main reason he didn't bring dinner for Karura; even if she ate it, she would just throw it up anyway.

And I believe this person will not have an appetite again for some time.

After vomiting for quite a while, until she had expelled all the acid, Garuro collapsed onto the hospital bed with a look of utter despair.

Tamura then removed the bandages from his head, revealing his bald head and face. Although the recovery was fairly good, it still looked very unnatural.

"This injury will probably require cultivating Yang energy to recover."

Looking at the girl's skin, Tamura Hao thought of Naruto Uzumaki in the future, who would be able to recover from his injuries, save Might Guy, and even recreate an eye for Kakashi Hatake.

Unfortunately, the Sage of Six Paths was too stingy and withdrew the Yang power in the end. Otherwise, with the support of the Yang power, Naruto Uzumaki would have been able to regenerate the arm that Sasuke had broken off in the later stages of the game.

The structure of the eye is much more complex than that of the arm. If the eye can regenerate, then regenerating the arm is naturally not difficult.

Similarly, the only way to help Karura recover is to focus on the power of Yang.

"Rinse your mouth, then I'll take you to complete the discharge procedures."

He handed over a cup of hot water; Tamura Hao had no intention of staying there any longer.

"You're such a good faker!"

glaring at the wretched brat, Karura angrily took the water glass and rinsed her mouth.

Back in Kumogakure, I actually had a good impression of this kid, but who would have thought he was so evil and despicable.

"Thank you for the compliment!"

Tamura expressed his gratitude, then went over and opened the window to let the foul smell dissipate, before picking up the trash can and heading to the bathroom to clean it.
