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

This is also the main reason why White Fang chose to establish a new line of defense here. He believed that the Kumogakure ninjas would stop here.

There is no way that the Hidden Cloud Country and the Land of Lightning can conquer Konoha and the Land of Fire. If they really go too far, they will inevitably suffer crazy revenge.

Judging from the performance of the Hidden Cloud Village in this Ninja World War, it will definitely focus on stability.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and others who were in charge of Konoha were shocked when they heard the battle report. They immediately sent people to bring back Uchiha Mingjing, whose eyes had been gouged out, and inquired about the details of the battle.

At the same time, send people from the village to support White Fang. We must not let the Hidden Cloud Village advance any further.

"Our battle plan was leaked, and we were tricked by the Hidden Cloud Village."

Uchiha Mingjing, who was brought back, didn't waste much time and pointed out the main reason for the failure.

From the situation of that battle, it was obvious that the Hidden Cloud Village was waiting for them to attack, and they even used illusions to hold them back and arranged for people to dig out their eyes at the same time, targeting their tactics.

This was obviously caused by the complete leakage of the battle plan. It was impossible for the family to do this, after all, all the senior leaders had their eyes gouged out, even Fugaku, who he had always been wary of, had his eyes gouged out, and was eventually forced to use Wood Release and the power of the Seven-Tails.

So it must be the information leaked by someone else. Not many people can get their combat intelligence, which makes him have to suspect certain people.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other two heard this, the first thing they thought of was that old friend. Why was Danzo still so clumsy in doing things?

The three of them were now in an awkward situation. Last time, it was Shimura Danzo who leaked the detailed information of the Uchiha top leaders. Now another incident happened, which not only killed the Uchiha's elite troops, but also took away thousands of ninja soldiers.

Danzo was really too cruel and didn't consider the overall situation at all.

"Dingjing..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to explain, but Uchiha Mingjing was completely disheartened and just wanted to go home.

"Hokage-sama, I'm tired and want to go back to rest. I don't know about Fugaku's affairs, but maybe the clan leader knows. You can go ask him."

After saying that, without waiting for Sarutobi Hiruzen to respond, he stood up, leaned on a wooden stick and groped his way out of the Hokage's office.

He was really tired, not only because of the betrayal and the loss of his eyes, but also because of the loss of Zhili.

It had been agreed that after this war, I would come back to get married, and even leave my family and village.

But now he is alone, and he feels that all his previous efforts were a joke.

This attitude made Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other two frown, but they didn't say much.

After Uchiha Mingjing left, the three of them were troubled.

"Huruzen, why don't you try to persuade Danzo? He is so blunt in doing things that it's very difficult for us to do anything."

Koharu Utane couldn't help but complain that her old friend had done such a rough job that they didn't know how to end it.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said nothing, just smoked his pipe.

He couldn't say it because it was already agreed upon before.

Danzo specializes in doing those dirty things that cannot be seen in public, and they are responsible for cleaning up the aftermath.

Although Danzo was a bit cruel this time, he did wipe out all the elite Uchiha troops.

It is unrealistic to expect others to do everything perfectly. After all, the conditions are what they are and you can't ask for too much.

Moreover, this time they didn't leave any clear evidence. Even Uchiha Mingjing was just suspicious but had no concrete evidence.

Mitomon En knew that he couldn't blame Shimura Danzo for this kind of thing, so he changed the subject.

"What about Uchiha Fugaku?"

He had been shocked when he read the letter sent back by Hatake Sakumo. He never expected that Uchiha Fugaku had obtained the cells of the first generation and acquired the Wood Release. Even the one who destroyed the Takigakure Village and stole the Seven-Tails was Uchiha Fugaku.

Hidden too deeply.

If Danzo had not planned against Uchiha in advance this time, it is unknown how long Uchiha Fugaku would have hidden. He would definitely give them a ruthless blow at the critical moment.

"The Uchiha cannot come into contact with the cells of the first Sensei. The problem should be with Orochimaru and Danzo. It is also possible that the Senju side is also the problem."

After taking a puff of cigarette, Sarutobi Hiruzen had a worse guess.

There are only three parties who possess the first generation cells, Orochimaru and Danzo, and there must be some survivors on the Senju side. All three parties are likely to trade with Uchiha Fugaku.

"Fortunately, the Hidden Cloud Village dug out Uchiha Fugaku's eyes. His strength will definitely be greatly reduced, and the threat to us will be much smaller."

Utane Koharu was quite thankful, as he was more wary and cautious of the Uchiha compared to the Hidden Cloud Village.

"According to the intelligence sent back by our people there, Hatake Sakumo's strength is much stronger than we know, and his chakra capacity is also extremely large. He must have ulterior motives in hiding his strength, and he is not as simple as he usually appears."

Mizuto Menyan spoke of another piece of information with a serious expression. This act of hiding one's strength made them very alert.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen looked more solemn and even fearful.

Hatake Sakumo was already very strong, and he used to be able to suppress the enemy with the cooperation of Ono-ma. But after losing Ono-ma, he no longer had the confidence to suppress him, and he might even be defeated if he was approached by him.

And Hatake Sakumo has hidden his strength. If he unleashes all of it, I will definitely not be his opponent.

These young people are so patient and so good at hiding. If Danzo hadn't done this, they wouldn't have known it.

“Don’t worry about Sakumo for now, his strength is still needed on the northern front.

The key now is to deal with the Kumo Ninja who have invaded the country. The envoys from the Daimyo Prefecture should have already set out."

The last time the Sand Village invaded the country, the Daimyo Prefecture almost exploded, and condemnations and threats came one after another.

Now the Hidden Cloud Village has attacked again, and it seems that they are also aiming to occupy land. Not only has it occupied the Land of Hot Springs, but it has also occupied 500 kilometers of the Land of Fire.

It is conceivable that Daming Prefecture’s reaction this time will be even greater.

It is not easy to take back the territory occupied by the Cloud Ninja, mainly because they cannot spare more troops and strong men to go there.

Even if all the people left in the village went there, they would not be able to defeat the Hidden Cloud Village.

First of all, the strength displayed by the Third Raikage was terrifying. In addition, according to Hatake Sakumo's report, the Hidden Cloud Village seemed to have a weapon that could attack at a super long range, and even a strong man like the White Snake Sage was crippled by one blow.

There is no way to fight!

Both Mitomon En and Utane Koharu were troubled by this and had no good way to deal with it for a while.

The three of them discussed until dark before they had to disperse. After Sarutobi Hiruzen returned home, he came to the basement again, where the resurrected Sarutobi Sasuke had been staying.

"This operation is very dangerous. Even Tobirama Senju seems unable to perform it."

Sarutobi Sasuke, who was studying some information, looked up at his son who was approaching, and was very worried.

"For the sake of the family and the village, it's worth taking some risks."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said this with a determined look on his face as he took off his shirt, revealing his lean upper body.

Although he has a lean body, his muscles are well-defined. His physical skills are not bad, so his physique is naturally strong.

Sarutobi Sasuke didn't try to persuade him any further and injected a syringe of primary cell tissue fluid into his son's subcutaneous tissue at the heart.

At the same time, he took out the pair of Mangekyō Sharingan that he had seized and prepared for transplantation.

The primary cells are very corrosive. The small bag supported by the cell tissue fluid began to move like a mouse and grew rapidly.

The first thing to be devoured was the skin, which turned pale and transformed into the shape of a human face.

Sarutobi Hiruzen mobilized his own powerful chakra to suppress the first generation cells, slowing down their erosion and expansion.

He knew that transplanting primary cells was very dangerous, and even he himself would be in danger of death. Even with the idea of ​​the second-generation teacher, there was still a huge risk.

But he has no choice now. He must master the forbidden technique of Impure World Reincarnation as soon as possible, otherwise the situation will likely collapse.

The first generation of cells eroded very quickly, and the face was formed in a short time, but the erosion did not stop, and even became faster and faster.

Sarutobi Sasuke was waiting for this moment. At the moment when the first generation's face took shape, he transplanted the two Mangekyō Sharingan into the eye sockets.

The two opposing forces immediately collided with each other, and the power of the first generation cells was also attracted by the Mangekyō Sharingan, greatly weakening the erosion of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not hesitate at all. He refined a large amount of chakra and integrated it into the face of the first generation, trying to link and fuse the two to gain a certain degree of control.

This is an idea left by the second generation teacher, to use the Mangekyō Sharingan to suppress the first generation cells, so that the two can check and balance each other, so as to gain time and opportunity to fuse with the first generation cells.

The reason why it is transplanted to the heart is that a vascular connection can be established with the heart from here, which allows for better integration and makes it easier to control.

Moreover, he possesses chakra with all attributes, which is compatible with the chakra attributes of the first generation teacher, so the chance of fusion will be much greater.

But at the same time, the risks are also greater. If the transplant is done on the limbs, if the patient loses control and has the limbs cut off, the patient can still save his life, but this is not the case for the heart.

This is a gamble, and Sarutobi Hiruzen's bet is his own life.

The idea of ​​Tobirama Senju is good, but Hashirama Senju's power has far exceeded the Mangekyō, and Uchiha Naka's pair of Mangekyō is not enough to form a balance with Hashirama's cells.

But at least Sarutobi Hiruzen established a connection with those eyes, and could control them to a certain extent and mobilize the power within them.

Without any hesitation, he used the flesh and blood on Uchiha Naka's head as a medium and a person who had been prepared long ago as a sacrifice to perform the Impure World Reincarnation, and brought Uchiha Naka's soul out of the Yellow Spring Pure Land.

Without giving the other party a chance to speak, he guided the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan and forcibly controlled it, allowing Uchiha Naka to inject the power of the soul into the Mangekyō, followed by the injection of chakra, to enhance the Mangekyō Sharingan.

With the continuous infusion of chakra, the two kaleidoscopes finally resisted the erosion of the first generation cells and reached a relatively stable balance.

Noticing the changes in the two, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Sarutobi Sasuke both breathed a sigh of relief.

"How much do you control?"

Sarutobi Sasuke couldn't help but ask, feeling a little nervous and hopeful.

After all, it was the Wood Release that pacified the turmoil of the Warring States Period, and the Mangekyō Sharingan.

“It will take time to adjust.”

After sensing it, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

The power of Wood Release and Mangekyō are not so easy to control. Now he can only simply mobilize some Wood Release chakra. It is not enough to use it to perform Wood Release ninjutsu, otherwise the first generation cells may go berserk if he is not careful.

The same goes for the Kaleidoscope, which can only simply mobilize the lower pupil power and cannot activate the inner pupil technique.

But that's true. After all, it has just been transplanted and he doesn't have the blood of either family. It would undoubtedly be more difficult to control it.

"Once you have mastered the technique, control the Second Tsuchikage to reveal the secret of Dust Release Fusion. If you can fuse Dust Release, with the help of the chakra eliminated by the bloodline, you should be able to control Wood Release Chakra and Mangekyō."

Sarutobi Sasuke placed his hope on Dust Release Fusion. As long as he could get the secret technique of Dust Release Fusion from the Second Tsuchikage, there was a high probability that his son would be able to fuse it with his qualifications.

Wood Release and Mangekyō Sharingan are not easy to be seen in public, but Dust Release can be used. Even if there is a problem, it will only be the Iwagakure Village that is dissatisfied. There is no possibility that Konoha will have any objection to this.

"No, first use up the Wood Release Chakra in the First Generation's cells. I only need to use the First Generation's cells to carry these two Mangekyō to control the Impure World Reincarnation."

Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't think much of Wood Release, at least the simple transplanted cells he has are not enough, so the power of Wood Release he can use must be limited.

What he valued was the ability of the first generation cells to check and balance the Sharingan, thereby carrying the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Although the Sharingan does not have the terrible corrosiveness of the first generation cells, it consumes a lot of energy to use, especially the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Even the Uchiha ninjas find it difficult to carry the Mangekyo, let alone outsiders.

The continuous consumption that cannot be turned off is enough to drag him down. He is not the kind of ninja with huge chakra.

But it is different with the first generation cells. You only need to consume the Wood Release Chakra in the first generation cells, and you can perfectly carry these two Mangekyo and become the foundation for controlling the Impure World Reincarnation.

When it comes to improving his own strength, he places more emphasis on Dust Escape.

Chapter 204: The Bonds Are Broken

Not to mention what Sarutobi Hiruzen was doing, Orochimaru controlled a small white snake to sneak into the camp of the Hidden Cloud Village again and found a man named Tian who was counting the harvest alone.

Sensing the presence of the little white snake, Tian Cun Hao calmly turned his eyes to look around, and then ejected a rolled-up note.

The little white snake opened its mouth nimbly and bit it, then swam away silently.

I went to a deserted place and unfolded the note, and found it was a simple map.

After looking at the map, the little white snake swallowed the note and then swam to the location marked on the map.

It was discovered that it was an underground laboratory with many Cloud Ninjas guarding outside and many researchers busy working inside the laboratory.

After observing for a while, it found a hidden ventilation duct according to the map and swam into it. It opened its mouth and spewed out a colorless and odorless poisonous gas that spread out.

The researchers inside were all stiff and unable to move.

This is a neurotoxin that can paralyze the nerves, and then make the body stiff through the nerves, making it difficult to move for a short period of time, and even chakra cannot be refined.

After controlling all the researchers inside, they began to search for Uchiha Mingjing's Mangekyō Sharingan.

Soon they found a freezer, inside which were pairs of Sharingan sealed in glass bottles. The top few were Mangekyo ones, with the patterns on them still visible.

However, there are sealing techniques and perception barriers on it, and once they are broken, they will definitely be sensed by the caster.

"It won't be that simple!"

Orochimaru, who was controlling the little white snake, was not surprised. After all, this was the Mangekyō Sharingan. How could the Hidden Cloud Village not be on guard?
