Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 92 Showdown with Uchiha Hikaru (Second Update)

Tamura Hao wanted to continue developing his character in a safe and underhanded manner, but some people didn't want things to be this peaceful.

"Ding!"

Inside the underground beehive, Tamura Hiroshi was trying to develop Chidori when he suddenly seemed to sense something and raised his hand to block, deflecting a kunai with his arm guard.

Looking up, he saw a girl with a knife walking towards him, her eyes bloodshot – it was Uchiha Hikaru.

"Has your vision recovered?"

Sensing the girl's intense malice, Tamura Hao knew that she had finally decided to take revenge.

As Master Lu from my past life said, women are indeed vengeful creatures.

Ever since this girl was brought back, the malice in her has never dissipated.

Now that he finally couldn't hold back and made a move, it seems that his Sharingan was repaired by the chakra from Tobirama Senju's heart, which restored his vision.

While the Mangekyou Sharingan's eye techniques are powerful, they also cause significant damage to the eyes; in fact, Itachi Uchiha nearly went blind in the future.

Uchiha Hikaru's eyes once held four Mangekyou Sharingan techniques, so the consumption of those eyes was unimaginable, and he had long since become nearsighted.

For the past few months, he has been relying on the chakra extracted from Tobirama Senju's heart to nourish and recover, so his ability to fight now must mean that he has recovered.

Tamura Hao dared not take this lightly. Even though Uchiha Hikaru was only two years older than him, she still possessed the Sharingan with three tomoe, and her strength was already comparable to that of a Jonin.

As the ultimate weapon of the Uchiha clan during the Warring States period, it naturally underwent rigorous training.

He is proficient in taijutsu, ninjutsu, swordsmanship, and genjutsu, and his fire-style ninjutsu is especially well-versed in the true teachings of the Uchiha clan.

This is genuine Jonin-level strength.

Uchiha Hikaru is a ruthless person who doesn't talk much, especially when facing this shameless villain.

Without a word, he charged forward with his ninja sword, unleashing monstrous strength techniques with his superior chakra control, amplifying his burst speed and power, enhanced by the power of his Sharingan.

Knowing there was no way to retreat, Tamura Hao decisively took out Big Meow and Little Meow from the sealing technique on his arm guard. He also used his superb chakra control to unleash his super strength technique to enhance his explosive power and clashed with his sword.

"Clang!"

The sound of the blades clashing was surprisingly deep, indicating the immense force exerted by both sides.

The physical abilities of ninjas are far beyond those of ordinary people, especially with the enhancement of chakra and even ninjutsu.

After this hard-fought battle, Uchiha Hikaru realized that someone's physical abilities, or rather, brute strength, far surpassed his own.

This is an advantage brought by his physical fitness and physique. Tamura Hao has been training his body diligently since childhood, and later he also had the training methods and secret medicines of the Yotsuki clan to help him. His current physical fitness is no weaker than Rock Lee's when he will participate in the Chunin Exams in Sunagakure in the future.

Although Uchiha Hikari was two years older, she was still a girl and was much smaller in stature, and she was not a taijutsu specialist.

The Uchiha's fighting style also emphasizes technique and speed.

Having gained an understanding of Tamura Hao's power, Uchiha Hikaru glanced at the chipped edge on the blade with his Sharingan and decided not to fight that shameless villain head-on.

Using the Sharingan's superior dynamic vision, they bypassed the opponent's blade and launched a rapid and precise attack.

Although her kaleidoscope eye technique was taken away by that shameless villain, her eye power remained, so her insight was still at the kaleidoscope level, which could further assist her in performing her physical skills.

During this time, she even copied a lot of taijutsu and swordsmanship techniques in Kumogakure, which gave her the confidence to defeat this shameless villain and make him pay the price for his shameless behavior.

Tamura Hao accepted all of Uchiha Hikaru's tactics and engaged him in a high-speed clash of combat skills with his twin swords.

He even developed a burst of speed from lightning-attribute chakra stimulating his muscles and bones, resulting in a faster attack speed.

The Sharingan obtained through fusion with Kaguya-hime provides perfect assistance in terms of dynamic vision.

Although he hasn't developed Chidori yet, he has made some progress during this period. One of these is using lightning-attribute chakra to stimulate the body's explosive speed, which is an enhancement and improvement based on the Swift Lightning Flash Technique.

The Swift Lightning Flash technique can only be used for a brief burst of power, and he maintained this state.

There's still half a chakra left in the Yang Seal, enough to sustain it for a long time.

Not long after, two figures arrived one after the other. It was Karura, who had finished making dinner and was calling people to eat. Then Kushina Uzumaki also came down.

"Truly worthy of being called Lord Hao!"

Seeing that he was already able to fight on par with Uchiha Hikaru, Karura couldn't help but marvel.

She had witnessed Tamura Hiroshi's growth over the past few months, and the speed of his improvement had astonished her.

It can be said that apart from the weakness of chakra quantity, he is a genius in all other aspects, and even I am far inferior to him.

If it weren't for the limitations of his chakra reserves, his achievements would have been absolutely astonishing to the entire ninja world.

"That despicable villain has gotten stronger again!"

Kushina Uzumaki was very unhappy; she still wanted to defeat that despicable villain.

During this period, he has been diligently training in sealing techniques and ninjutsu, and his strength has improved significantly.

But that despicable villain is also improving rapidly. At this rate, when will we be able to defeat him?

Besides these two spectators, there was another small group of spectators in the shadows, who were none other than the Black Zetsu clone that had been monitoring Tamura Hao.

"My younger brother is getting stronger and stronger, especially in close combat."

Black Zetsu was very satisfied with his younger brother's improvement and achievements, and believed that if things continued this way, his future achievements would certainly be remarkable.

Most importantly, he was able to sense through the seal that his mother's power had been fully restored. Clearly, the last time he devoured that descendant of the Hamura main lineage had a significant effect, allowing his mother's power to be replenished.

That mother's potential is also not low; at least it won't be worse than before she devoured the Chakra Fruit, enough to become a powerful backup plan.

Tamura Hao was unaware that the three spectators on the periphery were all focused on Uchiha Hikaru; such a perfect opponent was hard to find.

At the same time, he was very confident of winning this battle. In terms of physical fitness and endurance, Uchiha Hikari, being a woman, was no match for him.

Furthermore, he possesses a cheat-like ability to enhance his comprehension, allowing him to learn the strengths of his opponents to the maximum extent during battles, thereby improving himself and becoming stronger with each fight.

Hikaru Uchiha realized this as well. He knew he was finding it difficult to defeat this shameless villain in taijutsu and swordsmanship, and the villain seemed to be improving. He couldn't let things continue like this...

"Lightning Release: Lightning Serpent Fang!"

He leaped back a short distance, and Uchiha Hikaru rapidly formed hand seals. Two long lightning snakes flew out from his hands and shot towards Tamura Hao at incredible speed.

This is a B-rank ninjutsu that she copied in Kumogakure some time ago. Although its attack power is a bit weak, it has tracking ability. Combined with her dynamic vision, she can definitely catch it.

"You're cheating!"

Tamura Hao wanted to curse as he watched the lightning snakes hurtling towards him. Instead of wasting his energy dodging, he raised his lightning chakra to its maximum and spread it throughout his body to withstand the two lightning snakes head-on.

Lightning is not so easy to dodge. Even though the speed of lightning ninjutsu is much slower than that of natural lightning, it is still very fast.

At this point, the only option is to tough it out. Distributing lightning chakra throughout the body can effectively reduce the damage from other lightning ninjutsu.

Two electric snakes struck Tamura Hao almost simultaneously. Intense electric light erupted within his body, instantly revealing his skeletal image and causing his hair to explode and turn to ash.

The same applies to eyebrows and hair on other parts of the body, such as leg hair and...

The electric shock lasted for a full three seconds before dissipating, and then Tamura Hiroshi collapsed to the ground cleanly, his body still twitching.

"You shameless scoundrel, you've lost this time!"

He stepped forward, lifted his small feet encased in tall ninja boots, and stomped on someone's face, Uchiha Hikaru's face filled with satisfaction and arrogance.

Last time, she was so badly shocked by this shameless scoundrel that she couldn't help but hold back, feeling utterly ashamed and indignant.

Fortunately, I had just climbed out of the river and was soaking wet, so it wasn't too noticeable; otherwise, I would have been mortified.

But she had always remembered this debt, and today she finally paid for it.

"Blue...blue!"

Tamura Hao, whose face was being stepped on, managed to say something with difficulty. At first, Uchiha Hikaru didn't understand, but when she saw someone's gaze fall on her, her fair face instantly turned red.

Half of her feelings were embarrassment, and the other half were anger.
