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

"Don't do this ritual until it's perfected."

Glancing at Uzumaki Kushina and Uzumaki Vanilla beside him, Uchiha Hikaru denied this evil god ritual.

It was not only because the two were too young, but also because their physical fitness was not good enough. Even when he had performed the evil god ritual before, he was very reluctant and had torn countless muscles and blood vessels.

"What Guang said is correct, and the side effects of heightened senses also need to be adapted to, otherwise it will only have a counterproductive effect."

Tamura Hao also disagreed with performing the evil god ritual on the two women. Their main fighting power at this stage was to use the Diamond Blockade to carry out long-range attacks with the Rasengan. There was no need to immediately perform the evil god ritual to gain immortality.

It’s not too late to do it after it is perfected in the future.

"OK then!"

Uzumaki Kushina breathed a sigh of relief, but she felt a little scared when she saw the three people performing the ceremony.

Uzumaki Vanilla was disappointed. She was also aware of the need to become stronger so that she could better help her master.

But she couldn't go against her master's will, so she could only wait.

"Ah Hao, is there a limit on the number of people who can participate in this ceremony?"

Ye Yueai, who had been resting and adapting on the side, asked, this kind of power must naturally be obtained by more people, so that their Hidden Cloud Village can become stronger.

"Samehada has already devoured and integrated the original power of the evil god. As long as it continues to devour the souls of others, the evil god's power will grow stronger. In theory, it can support the ritual indefinitely."

Tamura Hao gave a positive response. The evil god itself has the ability to devour the souls and vitality of living beings in order to enhance its own strength.

Therefore, as long as there is enough supplement and transformation, the power of the evil god will be inexhaustible.

“How perfect this ritual can be.”

Fukai on the other side asked, still feeling scared about the previous ceremony. It was a double test of body and will, and most people couldn't endure it.

"The pain will not be eliminated or reduced, but the damage in various aspects will be eliminated, especially the damage at the soul level. The requirements on the body can also be reduced. It should eventually be popularized at the jonin level."

Tamura Hao believes that pain is a good test, and this kind of power cannot be promoted everywhere. The minimum standard must be a senior ninja.

"Just right, Jonin."

Yeyue Ai and the others nodded, agreeing with this.

Naturally, this kind of power cannot be spread everywhere. Not only must the physical aspects meet the standards, but the mind must also undergo layers of tests to ensure absolute loyalty to the village, and the identity and family background must be carefully investigated.

Then you have to have enough merits, only then will you cherish this hard-earned power more.

"Why don't you do the ritual transformation?"

Uchiha Hikaru suddenly asked, the bad guy hasn't performed the evil ritual yet.

I really want to see this bad guy being tortured.

"I have too many curse seals on my body, and I need a lot of experiments to verify that it will not cause any impact."

He replied casually that Tiancun Hao would not easily tinker with himself, especially with his soul, unless he was 100% sure.

Moreover, he did not have much need for immortality. Whether it was the second eye technique obtained from Uchiha Hikaru, or sufficient Gray's energy, or Izanagi, they were all enough to save his life.

"Hurry up and go back to rest. There will be battles waiting for us tomorrow."

After saying the last sentence, Tian Cun Hao put the evil god altar into the sealing scroll and left. He wanted to think carefully about the many experimental data he had obtained before, especially those obtained from Ye Yue Ai and the other two.

"We have to adjust the battle order tomorrow, from weak to strong."

Fukai stood up, still not used to the current heightened senses of his body, especially the pain.

Even scratching your palm with your fingernails feels like being cut by a knife. If you don't get used to it, even holding a knife will be difficult.

"Then put it off until the afternoon."

Yeyue Ai also knew that it would take time to adapt. Not to mention completely adapting, but at least he had to make sure it didn't affect the battle.

Not to mention the discussion between Yeyue Ai and Fukai, on the other side, Tamura Hao, who had returned to his residence, had not been thinking for long before he was informed that the Iron Country General Mifune had arrived, and he hurried out to greet him.

"I didn't expect that you, Lord Mifune, would come here in person."

Tamura Hao was very surprised by Mifune's personal arrival. After he decided to use the samurai's fighting tradition, he wrote a letter to his teacher Ichiro Kusama, hoping to invite a powerful samurai to come as a witness and referee, but he did not expect that this person would be the one who came.

"This is the first time that you ninjas have used this tradition to wage war. It can also greatly reduce the casualties of the war, which is of great significance. Moreover, this is a war between two great countries and two great ninja villages. You cannot just send people here to witness it."

Mifune said seriously, but with a hint of smile on his face.

Although they, the samurai, reject ninjas, the world is now dominated by ninjas after all, and they, the samurai, can only find ways to maintain their own influence.

The holding of the Five Kage Tournament back then was an opportunity, and it is also an opportunity today.

Of course, another major reason why he could come here in person was that the Takigakure Village and Nanao in the neighboring Taki Country were gone, so they in the Iron Country could breathe a sigh of relief and he would not have to stay in charge any longer.

"I am here just to say hello to you. To be fair, I cannot enter your camp and will live near the battlefield you choose."

Since he was invited to be a witness and referee of the fight, he naturally had to maintain his own fairness and justice and not be biased towards any side.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Mifune. You can ask for anything you want and we will do our best to meet your needs."

Tamura Hao expressed his understanding and said that this approach is indeed better.

"We had made sufficient preparations when we came here, and the public security in the Kingdom of Tang was well maintained by you. It was not damaged by the war, so we can stay here for a long time."

Mifune shook his head slightly, then looked at the young man in front of him, and asked in confusion and shock: "Have you realized the unity of man and sword?"

As a swordsman who has realized the unity of man and sword, he is very clear about this power and can vaguely sense it in the young man in front of him.

Although it feels a bit weird, it is essentially the same.

It’s just that the cultivation is too fast, and the child is only thirteen years old this year.

It was hard to believe that a thirteen-year-old swordsman was alive.

"With the help of some external forces and opportunities, I was lucky enough to realize that realm."

Tamura Hao nodded with a smile, not hiding anything about it.

Anyway, Mifune will be able to see it during the battle tomorrow.

This affirmative response left Mifune speechless for a long time. Before, it was just an uncertain guess, but who would have thought it was true.

"I look forward to your performance tomorrow."

After saying this, Mifune turned and left, but with a relieved and happy smile on his face.

The appearance and achievements of that child made him see the future of their samurai. Perhaps the seeds of samurai could blossom and bear fruit in the ninja system.

He ran quickly in such a happy mood and soon arrived at the camp on the Konoha front. He had someone send a visiting card before.

At this time, Uchiha Zhili was waiting outside the camp. After confirming Mifune's identity, he brought him to Uchiha Mingjing.

"Yunyin asks you to be a witness of the fight."

Uchiha Mingjing was surprised and puzzled. This man's identity was not ordinary. He was the general of the Iron Country, and his status was equal to the Kage of their five major ninja villages. He was also a veteran and powerful man who participated in the First Ninja World War.

"It is an honor for me to be a witness to this battle. I promise to judge this battle fairly and impartially and will not favor any party."

Mifune expressed his opinion in a deep voice, his expression extremely serious.

"We trust the reputation of Lord Mifune. We will trouble you with the next fight."

Uchiha Mingjing nodded in approval. Although he didn't know what the Hidden Cloud Village was up to, he was very clear about the Iron Kingdom's position. It was indeed unlikely that they would directly join either side in the Ninja World War.

"In order to maintain fairness, I cannot stay any longer. Goodbye!"

Mifune didn't stay long and stood up to say goodbye.

Uchiha Zhili sent him out of the camp, and when he returned, he saw Uchiha Mingjing in deep thought.

“No need to overthink it.”

He spoke a word of comfort and at the same time raised his hand and used the Palm Fairy Technique to continue to relieve the pressure on Uchiha Mingjing's eyes.

They are too passive now and have limited intelligence, so it is useless to think more.

"It will take some time to delay. The integration of pupil power is more difficult than expected."

Feeling the pupil power surging in his eyes, Uchiha Mingjing sighed helplessly.

The transplant of pupil skills went smoothly, but it was difficult to use it, especially the integration with his father's pupil power, which required a long time to adjust.

"Perhaps the Hidden Cloud Village still wants to prolong the war in order to deal with other ninja villages."

Uchiha Zhili made a relatively optimistic guess.

They had a tacit understanding with the Hidden Cloud Village before. Although many conflicts broke out between them, they were all restrained and the casualties were small. They only consumed a large number of ninja tools and detonating tags.

It is obvious that the Hidden Cloud Village does not really want to go to war with them, and this time it was just the other three ninja villages that strongly requested it.

"I hope so!"

Uchiha Mingjing also hopes so, it would be much easier that way.

"According to the information sent by the Sandaime, the Hidden Cloud Village seems to have been attacked by a mysterious person and suffered heavy losses. That's why they are so conservative."

This is the information sent by the Third Generation some time ago, allowing them to take the opportunity to severely damage the Kumogakure Ninja Army on the front line.

It is too difficult to inflict heavy damage on the tens of thousands of Kumogakure Ninja Army, especially since their Jinchūriki has mastered the powerful Tailed Beast Ball.

Their Mangekyō is very powerful, but it is still useless against the forbidden killing move like the Tailed Beast Ball.

The worst thing is that the Mangekyō has restrictions on its use. If you use it too much, you will go blind, but the Tailed Beast Balls of the Tailed Beast Jinchūriki can fire continuously.

There is no way to fight!

Unless he can upgrade his eyes to the level of Uchiha Madara and push Susanoo to its complete form.

That kind of power could suppress even a real tailed beast, let alone a tailed beast jinchūriki.

Unfortunately, no one knows how Uchiha Madara improved his eyes to that level. Even his body was sealed by the First and Second Hokage, and his eyes inevitably fell into the hands of the Senju clan.

Even my father didn't find any clues about this.

Not only Uchiha Mingjing was worried about tomorrow's battle, but Sarutobi Hiruzen and others who received the news from Konoha were also shocked and confused.

"The Jinchūriki of the Hidden Cloud Village has actually mastered the Tailed Beast Ball."

Utatane Koharu looked very unhappy. The Tailed Beast Ball was the most powerful killing move of the Tailed Beasts and the Jinchūriki, and it was also the power that they feared the most.

Although it is not a fatal blow to the top strong ones, it is fatal to ninjas below the level of Kage.

If a Tailed Beast Ball were released into Konoha, the entire village would be wiped out.

"I had some guesses when I first obtained the Uzumaki clan's inheritance in the Hidden Cloud Village, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon."

Mizuto Menen wiped his glasses and was also troubled by this.

The Hidden Cloud Village, which possesses the perfect Tailed Beast Jinchuriki, has already taken the initiative, and the next war will be difficult to fight.

Fortunately, it is the Uchiha who is leading the battle line over there, so it would be beneficial for them to weaken the Uchiha.

"The Third Raikage still did not take action this time, and it was even his son who led the war. It is very likely that the Hidden Cloud Village still does not want a decisive battle."

Sarutobi Hiruzen pointed out a key point, although it was just a guess, it was almost correct.

Obviously, the Hidden Cloud Village's attitude towards the war is still perfunctory, and the village's truly strong men have still not been sent to the battlefield, especially the Third Raikage.

You should know that during the last Ninja World War, the Third Raikage was the leader on the front line and always fought in the front line.

But most of the time during this Ninja World War, they stayed in the Hidden Cloud Village. Is that mysterious force really that scary?

These words made the two men feel depressed. They really hoped that the Uchiha would suffer a heavy blow, otherwise, after they overthrew the Senju faction, the Uchiha would most likely jump out to attack.

That would be too dangerous. The Uchiha must be weakened before dealing with the Senju faction. It would be best if they could be destroyed.

"We need to slow down our plans a bit. We can make plans after we survive this Ninja World War. We will be more relaxed then."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said this indifferently and did not want to take action against the Senju faction immediately.

The main reason is that the current war situation is too unfavorable to Konoha. The four major ninja villages have formed an alliance to target Konoha. In addition, the death of Lord Mito and the leakage of news have made the four major ninja villages no longer have any scruples.

The next war will only be more difficult. We cannot deal with the Senju faction at this stage. Otherwise, if the battlefield in the Land of Grass gets out of control and the Iwagakure Village attacks us, we will be in trouble.

"Then deal with the Uchiha first."

Utatane Koharu agreed with the proposal. The current situation was indeed very bad, but the Uchiha clan must be weakened first before plotting against the Senju clan.

"The Hidden Cloud Village also needs to be on guard. We can't let what happened to the Hidden Mist Village and the Uzushiogakure happen here."

Mito Kado En attaches more importance to the Hidden Cloud Village. That kind of long-range delivery secret technique is too difficult to solve. To some extent, it is more difficult to deal with than Tobirama's Flying Thunder God Technique.

Last time, the Third Raikage and his men directly sent them to the Hokage Building to start a battle, catching them off guard.

It would be a disaster if the Hidden Cloud Village intervened again and took away the remnants of the two clans when they were plotting against the Uchiha and Senju clans.
