Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swordsmen Begins from the Hidden Cloud Village.

"Hiruzen!"

He never expected that his old friend would arrange such a powerful bodyguard for Namikaze Minato, a person he had never paid attention to.

He knew about the forbidden technique of the Eight Gates Ninjutsu and had heard about its horror. If it was practiced to the extreme, the power it would unleash would surpass that of a shadow.

But the access control technique is too difficult to practice and is not cost-effective.

But who would have thought that there are still people practicing it today and even succeeding.

I don’t know if Mighty Dai can open the eighth door. It would be too dangerous if he can even open the eighth door.

You actually hid such a trump card from me. You're really worthy of being me, Hiruzen!

"But the person I trained defeated the one you valued, Minato Namikaze. You must feel bad, Hiruzen!"

With a sinister smile, Shimura Danzo felt cheerful.

He had fought Hiruzen all his life and had never won a proper victory over him, but this time he finally won a small victory.

At this moment, a Root Ninja appeared in an instant and reported: "Master Danzo, the young lady wants to see you."

"Izumi? She's here?"

Danzo Shimura was stunned. Ever since the daughter was brainwashed by the old friend, she had been rejecting him. She even stopped returning to the family and had been living in the old friend's house.

Of course, he also tricked his old friend's eldest son into doing the job, and neither side had much to say about that.

But this time, Quan suddenly returned to his roots, which was very abnormal.

"Bring her here."

Shimura Danzo ordered, wanting to see what the daughter was coming to do.

After a while, Izumi Shimura was brought in, and before Danzo Shimura could ask, Izumi Shimura spoke coldly.

"I want power!"

It would be difficult for him to get further improvement from Uncle Hiruzen, especially rapid improvement in a short period of time. Now he could only turn to his father.

"It takes enlightenment to get power from me."

Looking at his daughter who seemed like a stranger in front of him, Danzo Shimura was puzzled by her growth and changes over the past two years.

Was Shinnosuke's incident such a big blow to him?

"I'm willing to give anything to make me stronger."

Izumi Shimura now has sufficient awareness, or absolute awareness.

"You've finally grown up!"

Seeing his daughter's determination, Shimura Danzo was very pleased and stood up and walked out.

Shimura Izumi followed, and the two of them passed through layers of checkpoints and barriers and arrived at the deepest part of the roots.

"I happen to have a power that suits you, but it is very dangerous to bear this power. You need to be prepared to face death."

Coming in front of a huge nutrient tank, Danzo Shimura looked at the figure inside and said.

There was a strange body inside, with the torso and shell of a turtle, but the head and limbs were human. There were also three huge tails behind it, and it exuded extremely ominous chakra.

Izumi Shimura frowned as he looked at the strange and ugly figure inside. Was he going to turn himself into this?

As a woman, especially a beautiful one, she naturally attaches great importance to her appearance and really doesn't want to become that kind of monster.

However, when he thought of the humiliation that pervert had brought upon him, the hesitation in his heart was instantly wiped out.

As long as I can kill that damn pervert, it doesn't matter what I become.

He was no longer clean, and he said goodbye to Shinnosuke without saying a word. The only thought in his mind now was to kill that pervert.

Shimura Danzo was unaware of his daughter's psychological changes. He looked at the figure in the nutrient tank and explained, "Before the first generation teacher captured the tailed beasts and sold them to other ninja villages, the second generation teacher did research on those tailed beasts.

Many small three-tails were found in the stomach of the three-tailed fish, which are the parts that assist the three-tailed fish in digestion.

The second generation teacher sealed up the largest split research inside, but before he could produce any results, he died in the Land of Thunder.

Although this clone of the Three-Tails is pitifully weak compared to the main body of the Three-Tails, its essence is the same as the Three-Tails and can also be used to create a Tailed Beast Jinchūriki.

If it can absorb the chakra of the Three-Tails from the Hidden Mist Village and become stronger in the future, its potential is not bad.

But after all, it is a tailed beast. No matter how small it is, it is still a tailed beast. The chakra is extremely corrosive. Now this is a failed experimental subject..."

This was the result of an experiment he and Orochimaru had conducted over the past two years. This person was the patriarch of the Kaguya clan. After he used drugs to control the other party and made a woman pregnant, he used her to conduct many experiments.

Including experiments on the first generation cells and the Sharingan, and finally trying the Three-Tails split Jinchūriki plan.

Unfortunately, the other party's consciousness had collapsed in many previous experiments, resulting in the erosion of the chakra of the three-tailed clone, and eventually became what it is today.

Even if it had not been temporarily suppressed by the sealing technique, the entire body would have been devoured by the three-tailed clone.

Although his current appearance is certainly not as good as the real Three-Tailed Fox, it is still dangerous to my daughter.

"I want it!"

Izumi Shimura remains firm and resolute. He is willing to become a monster as long as he can kill the pervert who has brought him endless humiliation.

"Come over after you get your body in good condition."

Shimura Danzo said this and turned to leave. He could see that his daughter was very weak and her walking posture was a little strange.

The sealing capacity of the tailed beasts is extraordinary, and the state must be stabilized at the peak, so the chances of success will be greater.

Not to mention the father and daughter here, in the Hokage's office on the other side, Sarutobi Hiruzen was discussing the third exam in a month with everyone, mainly the issue of pairing for the battle.

Although there are now ten candidates arriving for the third exam, the only ones that need attention are Tamura Hao and Guang from the Hidden Cloud Village, and Might Dai from their Konoha.

"There are four people from the Hidden Cloud Village, and we from Konoha only have one person."

Looking at the list of people who passed, Koharu Utane didn't understand how this was done.

"Both of Dai's teammates were seriously injured and in very bad condition, so I didn't let them play."

Sarutobi Hiruzen explained that although Dai's team was complete at the time, the physical condition of two team members was not very good.

It would be difficult to win even if I go up, so I might as well retreat using the excuse of injury.

Mizuto Menen took off his glasses and wiped them, which was a manifestation of his irritability.

"Now we only have one Might Dai left. What are you going to do with him, Hokage?"

They had wanted to use this Chunin Exam to show the village's potential strength to the ninja world, but in the end only one person made it to the final round.

It couldn't be worse.

"I want to hear your opinions."

After taking a puff of cigarette, Sarutobi Hiruzen was unsure of making a decision for a moment.

Jiraiya, who was standing below, scratched his head, not feeling comfortable with these topics.

After all, their public statement was that the candidates for the competition were randomly paired, but now they are discussing how to arrange it.

It’s so ugly!

"Don't let Dai face those four in the first round. Otherwise, even if he can pass, he won't be able to participate in the second round in a short time due to the side effects of the Eight Gates."

Utane Koharu glanced at Tsunade who was looking impatient below and expressed her thoughts.

The four people from the Hidden Cloud Village are all very troublesome. They don’t dare to target the two from the Uzumaki clan while that one is still alive, because that one will also be there to watch the battle that day.

He had already been displeased by the Uzumaki Village when he tricked them. If he were to target the Uzumaki people again this time, he would be courting death.

That Tamura Hao also has a means of bursting out, which is very troublesome. According to previous intelligence, Might Dai can only suppress him by using the Eight Gates, or even opening the seventh gate.

The side effects of the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu are huge, and they get worse as time goes by. Now Might Guy is lying in the hospital.

We must not let Might Day face Tamura Hao in the first round.

The girl named Guang is not simple either. She possesses a three-magatama Sharingan, and her illusion is the nemesis of Might Guy.

Once he is controlled by the illusion before opening the Eight Gates, he will be unable to fight. Before that, it was Minato Namikaze who helped him break the illusion.

This person also cannot be matched in the first round, so it can only be the other five.

The strength of those five people is relatively average, and Might Guy can handle them even without using the Eight Gates.

"The first round will be arranged like this. In the second round, Might Day will eliminate Tamura Hao, and the rest will be randomly drawn."

After some discussion, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally made a decision.

Compared to Guang who has the Sharingan, Tamura Hao who is only good at close combat is more stable.

"Tsunade, can Dai recover?"

He had some understanding of Might Guy's situation. His physical condition was not able to bring out the full power of the Eight Gates. If he could take good care of his body, his strength would definitely be greatly improved.

At that time, maybe we only need to open the fifth gate to defeat the guy. The load of the fifth gate is much smaller than that of the sixth gate, so we can still continue the competition and fighting afterwards.

"His training was too chaotic, and he had hidden injuries all over his body, especially when he activated the Eight Gates, which had a greater impact on his body.

With the current means, it will take at least a year to recover."

Tsunade replied. She had briefly checked Might Dai's body before and found it to be in a rather bad condition.

"Try to recuperate as much as possible!"

After taking a puff of smoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen could only place his hopes on Might Guy.

Originally, he didn't want to use Mighty's trump card, but who would have thought that such a genius would appear in the Hidden Cloud Village, so he had to activate this trump card in advance.

Hope everything goes well. As long as Might Dai can win first place, Konoha will still be valued by those big forces and big figures, and they will have a guarantee for future missions.

There is no other way. The military budget provided by the daimyo is limited and cannot support too many ninjas. In order to expand the village, they can only take private jobs, the more the better.

"What's up with that Hikari's Sharingan? It doesn't look like a transplant."

When Utane Koharu brought up another topic, everyone's expressions became serious.

"I'm not sure. I'll visit Chief Lieyang later."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was also confused about this, so he could only ask Uchiha about this question.

"Uchiha!"

Putting on his glasses, Mizutomon En started talking about another topic.

"The four major ninja villages have formed an alliance against our Konoha. The next war will inevitably be more difficult and dangerous. We must make new plans."

This is the biggest thing today and also the worst thing.

"The source is in the Hidden Cloud Village."

Utane Koharu added, feeling very annoyed with the Hidden Cloud Village.

During the war in the Land of Whirlpools, their plan was exposed due to the interference of the Hidden Cloud Village, which in turn caused a series of problems.

Now it is the Hidden Cloud Village that is taking the lead in linking up the other three large ninja villages to form an alliance and target Konoha together.

So insidious!

"It's also because the Uchiha are too strong, the Hidden Cloud Village doesn't dare to start a real war there."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed. He could guess some of what the Hidden Cloud Village was thinking.

The Uchiha clan is really too strong, in some ways even stronger than the Senju clan.

If the Senju clan had not won over several ninja clans to target the Uchiha clans, and if Uchiha Madara had not been defeated by the first generation teacher, it is likely that the ninja village system would not have appeared for many years.

The same thing happened after Konoha was established. The second generation teacher won over several of their ninja clans to further put pressure on the Uchiha clan, and even isolated them. With the help of that person, they were able to suppress them all the time.

He has been very wary and fearful of the Uchiha over the years, and now it is the turn of the Hidden Cloud Village to face the Uchiha. Even a strong man like the Third Raikage does not dare to face those pairs of Mangekyōs directly.

Faced with such a lineup, it is normal for the Hidden Cloud Village to find another way.

He even regretted sending the Uchiha to the front line of the Land of Hot Springs.

"What should we do now? It's not going to work if we keep wasting time like this, especially on the front line in Kawanokuni. The Daimyo has urged us to stop several times."

Utane Koharu was very troubled by this and couldn't think of a solution for a while.

Their Konoha is very powerful, much stronger than any other ninja village, especially in high-end combat power.

But they could at most fight against two ninja villages at the same time, but now four ninja villages are targeting them at the same time and even formed an alliance.

It’s going to cost me my life!

"This is also the purpose of Mito-sama's proposal to organize this Chunin Exam. Unfortunately, we failed to control it well, and it has had a counterproductive effect at this stage."
