Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 76 Hive Base (Twelfth Update)

Tamura Hao was unaware that his eldest nephew had secured another resource for him. At that moment, he was on the ship, asking his teacher, the Third Raikage, about the cultivation of lightning attribute nature transformation.

Although Fukai is not bad either, his mastery of nature transformation is far inferior to that of the Third Raikage.

It's important to know that the Third Raikage underwent a transformation in his nature transformation training, gaining black lightning power that far surpassed the strength of ordinary lightning chakra.

Perhaps only Kakashi's future creation, Purple Lightning, can compare to it.

Even though the Third Raikage couldn't fully understand the nature of Black Lightning's transformation, he grasped many of its mysteries. His words greatly benefited Tamura Hiroshi, and Fukai and the others who were listening also gained a lot.

After sailing for several days, they finally arrived at the Land of Lightning and then went straight back to Kumogakure.

Tamura Hao brought Uchiha Hikaru to his apartment building, just as he had told the Third Raikage.

After learning that his disciple had used Samehada to absorb the girl's Mangekyou Sharingan, the Third Raikage no longer cared about it.

The only Sharingan that would catch his eye is the Mangekyou Sharingan; ordinary tomoe Sharingan are nothing special, especially since the other party is just a young girl.

"This entire building belongs to me. You can choose a unit to live in later, based on your own preferences."

Tamura Hao said something to the girl behind him, then walked to the newly renovated door of the apartment building and knocked.

He had already told the construction team his requirements: a large gate was installed at the entrance to indicate that the entire building was his private property.

The girl behind her glared hatefully at the person in front of her. She had regained consciousness while on the ship and then realized that her Kaleidoscope Eye Technique had been taken away by that shameless villain in front of her.

He even went so far as to plant the mark of eight thousand spears on himself, imprisoning himself for life.

That's outrageous!

"Click!"

Then the door opened, but instead of Karura, whom Tamura had expected, came a little red-haired girl.

What are you doing here?

Looking at the little girl in front of him, Tamura Hao was a little confused.

Why is this girl at home?

"You despicable villain!"

Kushina Uzumaki, who was in a good mood, turned cold the moment she saw who it was. She waved and closed the door, indicating that she did not welcome a certain big bad guy.

Tamura Hiroshi, who was locked out, fell silent, unable to understand what was going on.

A moment later, the door opened again, and this time it was Karura who opened it.

"Hao-jun, welcome back!"

Karura wore a gentle smile, just like when they first met, making people feel very comfortable. She had changed a lot from the cold demeanor she had before she left.

Karura's gentleness and heartfelt goodwill made Tamura Hiro realize that the camera foreshadowing he had left behind should have come into play.

However, he didn't show it. Instead, he looked at Karura with feigned confusion, then stepped inside and was somewhat bewildered by the scene inside.

The apartment building doesn't look much different from the outside, except for the addition of a large door, but the changes inside are dramatic.

The first floor has been transformed into a huge living room, a small bar, and a kitchen.

The staircase has been transformed into a villa-style indoor staircase, with luxurious decorations that clearly cost a lot of money.

Meanwhile, Kushina Uzumaki was having dinner at the dining table. When she saw someone come in, she gave a soft hum and turned her head to the side.

Tamura Hiroshi was led to the dining table by Karura and sat down; it was time for dinner.

"Please wait a moment, Hao Jun. Your dinner will be ready soon."

Karura said apologetically that she did not know that Hao-kun would be returning today, so she only prepared dinner for herself and Kushina.

"Don't rush to make dinner. Tell me what's going on with this house? I remember you only said it was a simple renovation, what's this all about?"

Tamura Hao was a little confused. He had only been gone for a little over a month, so how could such a big change have occurred?

"We felt that Haojun's home renovation plan was not perfect enough, so we made some simple modifications."

Karura glanced at Kushina over there and said that she had only made simple modifications.

Are you sure this is just a simple modification?

Looking at the luxurious decor and completely altered layout of the house, Tamura Hiroshi suspected that this was the girl's revenge.

It's obvious that a lot of money was spent on this.

"Here is the bill. Brother Yeyue Ai will cover the material costs for you first, which is 100 million taels, and the labor costs are 200 million taels."

At this moment, Kushina Uzumaki throws out a bill, indicating that you already owe 300 million ryo.

"How did you manage to come up with three hundred million taels? Even if you had Luo Sha plate this place with gold dust, it wouldn't be this extravagant."

Looking at the bill, Tamura Hiroshi was in a very bad mood.

Even though I have money to protect me, I can't let myself be scammed.

"The renovation above only cost ten million taels of silver. The key was the renovation of the basement below. This basement was carved out, and barriers were set up everywhere, with very high strength."

Gallo handed over a house layout plan, especially the modifications to the basement.

Tamura Hao looked at the layout diagram, then at the two girls, and his face twitched involuntarily.

"This isn't building a basement, it's building a beehive!"

If the data above is correct, this basement has one hundred floors, each ten meters high, totaling one thousand meters in length and one hundred meters in diameter, almost occupying the entire belly of this mountain.

The Hidden Cloud Village is built in the mountains, and the houses are all situated on the mountainside, as is this apartment building.

He originally only wanted to open a basement, but now it has turned into a Hive Base.

I reckon if it weren't for the structural and groundwater issues, those two girls would probably want to drive all the way to the Earth's core.

"Could all of this labor cost be going to the Uzumaki clan?"

Suddenly realizing what was happening, he looked at the red-haired girl with suspicion.

Creating such a large underground space would require Earth Release ninjutsu, and the amount of chakra consumed would be enormous.

The Hidden Cloud Village doesn't have that many Earth Release ninjas, so after thinking about it, the only ones that come to mind are the Uzumaki clan.

Although they mainly practice sealing techniques, the amount of chakra they have is still considerable when they use ninjutsu.

"Shouldn't we give it to them?"

Kushina Uzumaki acted very confidently, saying, "I'm just doing what's best for my clan, so what?"

"How do you intend to convince me? Otherwise, I won't accept this bill."

Tamura Hiroshi crossed his arms, waiting for the two to start their charade.

He, Tian, ​​is not one to be taken advantage of.

Uchiha Hikaru looked at this and then at that, finding it quite interesting.

Karura remained as gentle as ever, explaining, "Based on Haojun's style, we can guess that many more girls like us will be brought here to live in the future. They will all need specific training grounds, as well as some laboratories and workshops."

For example, the production of my puppet prosthetics requires the assistance of various high-precision instruments, and the research and development requires even more, involving three layers.

Kushina needs to conduct research on various sealing techniques and barrier techniques, which also requires three layers…

Tamura Hiroshi frowned upon hearing this. What did he mean by "according to my style"?

Do I look that much like a pervert?

However, this statement did remind me that I could try to steal some of the characters from the storyline in the future.

There are many ways to change the plot, but kidnapping people is the easiest way—it's like cutting off their lifeline.

With the core characters gone, the storyline can no longer unfold.

"I want three floors too!"

After Karura finished speaking, Uchiha Hikaru, who had been silent until now, spoke up, saying that he wanted to take down the third floor and hoped to see this shameless villain lose money.
