Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 85 Descendants of Hamura (Fifth Update)

"Sunagakure panicked and finally turned those Sarutobi and Shimura ninjas into human puppets."

Inside the Raikage Building, Tamura Hao looked at the intelligence reports from various fronts, especially those from Sunagakure and Konoha, where he finally saw the appearance of human puppets.

They packed up all the corpses of Konoha ninja led by Lord Danzo and sent them to Sunagakure. There were even a few prisoners who were still alive, including the son of the Hokage.

However, after the bodies were sent over, no relevant information was reported. It was thought that Sunagakure would have some bottom line and not intend to use those corpses, but they were suddenly used, catching the Konoha ninja off guard.

In particular, the morale of the Shimura and Sarutobi clan ninjas collapsed, and the Sunagakure ninja army broke through their defenses, almost turning the Kikyoyama Castle into ruins, resulting in heavy losses.

"High-quality human puppets are probably not that easy to make."

Tsuchida pointed out that it wasn't that Sunagakure had principles or a bottom line, but rather that human puppets were difficult to make, especially since Chiyo and Ebizo, the siblings who led the Sunagakure puppeteer lineage, were both half-crippled, which was why it had been delayed until now.

Those corpses held extraordinary significance for the members of the Sarutobi Shimura clan. They were only effective on the first use; if they failed to break through the defenses the first time, the second use would only provoke the wrath of the two clans' ninjas.

"That's true!"

Tamura Hiroshi suddenly realized, and then continued to look at the intelligence.

"A ninja resembling the Hyuga clan has appeared within our territory, but he/she is not wearing a headband?"

After seeing a piece of intelligence, he paused, realizing that it must have been discovered by Black Zetsu and then passed on.

Otherwise, given the abilities of the Otsutsuki clan on the moon, it would be too easy for them to remain undetected.

"They must have come for those eyes. Only a branch family ninja would dare to send someone like that."

Tu Tai casually remarked that he had seen the intelligence report but hadn't paid much attention to it, and had even anticipated it.

He was puzzled that the Hyuga clan had waited so long before sending someone over.

"No, this intelligence report mentions that their clothes have a moon and a dot-shaped mark, which I seem to have seen somewhere before."

Tamura Hiroshi's expression turned serious, and he made a thoughtful gesture.

Tsuchikage and the Third Raikage, who was training, both looked over. Was there something wrong with that information?

"Bring over all the records about the Hyuga clan that belong to the Uzumaki clan."

Tamura Hao thought for a while, then seemed to realize something. His expression became even more serious, and he signaled to the ANBU ninja to fetch the books.

The secret agents here have known Tamura Hao's identity for so long. After he spoke, they did not hesitate and one of them quickly left. A short while later, he came back carrying a large pile of scrolls.

After obtaining those ancient texts from the Uzumaki clan, they immediately categorized and organized them, making them easy to find.

He took the scrolls and quickly flipped through them, but stopped abruptly when he reached one.

Of course, this book is a forgery, created by Black Zetsu himself, and even the text is in ancient script.

"A distinguished guest of the Ninja Clan, the originator of the Hyuga Clan, and the progenitor of Kaguya."

The person on the earthen platform next to him curiously peeked over and read the ancient characters under the pattern. Their expression immediately turned serious.

"This is not a good record."

Tsuchikage felt that a big problem was about to arise. They had confirmed that the Ninja Cult and the Sage of Six Paths had actually existed, and that they were the origin of the current ninja world.

And now there is another distinguished guest from the Ninja Clan, who is also the progenitor of the Hyuga and Kaguya clans.

The Hyuga and Kaguya clans are among the most powerful ninja clans today, so how powerful must their ancestral clans have been?

Meanwhile, where is the other party's ethnic group hiding?

"The origin of Hinata and Kaguya?"

The Third Raikage became interested, as he had always been fascinated by the Byakugan and Shikotsumyaku, two bloodline limits.

"Although we don't know their purpose in coming to our Land of Lightning yet, it's best to be on guard. I suggest adding the Byakugan and Shikotsumyaku chakra cores to the sensory barrier for targeted sensing."

Tamura Hiroshi's solemn proposal was accepted by the Third Raikage and Tsuchida.

While their background might not necessarily make them enemies of Kumogakure, it certainly didn't seem like they could become friends, so it was always good to be on guard.

Tamura Hao and Black Zetsu's plan was not wrong; the Otsutsuki clan was indeed preparing to come to the Five Great Ninja Villages to investigate first.

These are some of the strongest forces in the ninja world today. If we're talking about those with the motive and ability to steal the Gedo Mazo, these ninja villages are naturally the first to come to mind, especially Konoha.

Unfortunately, their first stop was Konoha, where they found nothing. After that, they traveled to several other ninja villages but still couldn't find any trace of the Gedo Mazo. Now they've arrived in the Land of Lightning, with their main target naturally being Kumogakure, one of the Five Great Ninja Villages.

"This village is truly special!"

Gazing at the distant Hidden Cloud Village, Otsutsuki Ryuto, a member of the Otsutsuki main family, remarked that he really enjoyed the feeling of standing atop a mountain overlooking the sea of ​​clouds.

"According to the intelligence we have gathered, this village is the most warlike and the most ambitious among all the ninja villages in the ninja world. It is precisely because there are too many ambitious people like this that wars keep breaking out in the ninja world."

Otsutsuki Shari, a member of the branch family, disliked the ninja world, believing it to be a flawed world.

"Don't be so extreme. There are many reasons for war to break out, and most people are good at heart and yearn for peace."

There are different opinions about Otsutsuki Ryouto. Although the ninja world was constantly in turmoil, there were also many beautiful places and periods of time.

Ōtsutsuki Shari remained silent, but his expression clearly showed that he strongly disagreed with this view.

This flawed world should have been eliminated long ago.

"Don't disturb them. Walk around the perimeter and observe. If you don't find anything, leave immediately."

After giving a few instructions, Otsutsuki Plowshare flew away, with Otsutsuki Rei and the others following closely behind.

A jet-black head suddenly emerged from the shadows, staring at the departing figures; it was Black Jutsu.

"There are also disputes among Hamura's descendants. One of them seems to harbor great malice towards the ninja world."

He had known and followed these five people for a long time, and had listened to their conversations many times. He could clearly see that the two leaders had very conflicting ideas, and the ideas of the Otsutsuki Rei were even more extreme.

This is a piece that can be used!

With a sinister smile, Black Zetsu disappeared into the ground to await the outcome, while preparing to find an opportunity to obtain specific information from the moon.

The Otsutsuki group was unaware that they had been targeted. At this moment, they used their special chakra to become invisible and approach, just as they had done with the Konoha, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure ninjas. They used their Byakugan to observe from a distance and search for the Gedo Mazo.

They originated from their ancestor, Hamura Otsutsuki, and were beings on par with the Sage of Six Paths. Their bloodline and chakra were different from those of the ninja world, and their existence could not be detected using ninja world methods.

However, they miscalculated this time because the Cloud Village used the power of the Byakugan to enhance their perception barrier, and the Hyuga Byakugan originated from the bloodline of Otsutsuki Hamura, so it was natural that it could detect the Otsutsuki clan.

Upon receiving the report, the Third Raikage immediately flew out of the Raikage Building. He had already mastered the Super Light-Heavy Rock Technique and gained the ability to fly.

At the same time, many ANBU ninjas rushed out; they wouldn't let the Kage fight alone.
