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

But he didn't expect that when they met again, he had already become a Kage-level strongman, while he was still stuck at the level of elite jonin.

This is talent, which cannot be envied.

The classification of Kage level originated from the works of a great writer. It is widely circulated in the ninja world and has been recognized by all major ninja villages.

The sign of reaching the level of Kage is the transformation of chakra, which will make chakra more active, higher in quality, and more controllable. It is a qualitative change that can only be brought about after the property change has been cultivated and developed to a certain degree, not just an improvement in strength.

I am stuck at the qualitative change of chakra, and it is very difficult to break through that barrier.

Even the disciple of the Sandaime relied on the Three-Tails' chakra to break through.

Fortunately, he became a member of the split jinchūriki plan and would soon be able to break through with the help of the tailed beast's chakra.

Although this method of breakthrough with the help of external forces is not as good as the breakthrough through self-cultivation, it is worse than being stuck.

In today's war period, improving strength is more important.

Especially since the village has decided to take advantage of the support from the Hidden Cloud Village to launch a general attack on Konoha and occupy a piece of land.

"You just need an opportunity."

The team leader Yeyueai bumped fists with Tongcaoyeri, whom he admired very much.

The Tongcao Yebairen smiled, and then looked at the burly young man standing on the left side of Yeyueai.

"This must be the new disciple of the Third Raikage."

They have been paying attention to the intelligence of the Hidden Cloud Village. Some time ago, the Third Raikage suddenly announced that he had accepted a disciple named Thunder God. I think this is the one.

"Thor!"

The god of thunder, holding a hammer, shook hands with the wild bait man under the control of Tamura Hao.

"Tongcaoyebaiman!"

The Tongcao Yebairen also told his name and then looked at Yeyueai.

"Come on, we have arranged accommodation for you."

He was very satisfied with the lineup of the support team for the Hidden Cloud Village this time. Needless to say, Yeyue Ai and the others all possessed Kage-level combat power.

There were also hundreds of Cloud Ninjas following behind them. Although they were all very young, their strength was definitely not bad, and there were definitely quite a few senior ninjas among them.

Everyone followed Tongcao Yebairen to a manor in the Land of Waves, a very large manor.

"This place originally belonged to a wealthy merchant. It has all the necessary facilities and the houses are big enough for you to live in. You can use this open space for your daily training..."

Tongcao Yeiren introduced this manor to the few people. This is the most luxurious manor in the Land of Waves, and they specially vacated it for the support team of the Hidden Cloud Village to live in.

As for the original owner of this manor, he had been killed by the evil Konoha ninja and even his money was looted. It was too cruel. The Hidden Mist Village strongly condemned Konoha's inhumanity.

"I didn't see any ordinary people along the way. Were they all transferred away?"

Tamura Hao asked curiously, all he had seen before were Kirigakure ninjas, and there were no ordinary people.

"This is a frontline base. We are worried that Konoha ninjas will raid here. In order to avoid civilian casualties, we have moved them all to our country."

Tongkusa Noeito nodded. They wanted to build this place into a military base, so naturally they would not allow ordinary people to exist. Otherwise, if they had any connection with Konoha, or if Konoha ninjas sneaked in to steal information or carry out sabotage, it would be troublesome.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, all the people here were transferred away, leaving only the Kirigakure Ninjas, which would be much easier to control.

Moreover, the Land of Waves is surrounded by the sea, which is very suitable for the Kirigakure ninjas to fight, and they don't have to worry about the Konoha ninjas attacking.

"You guys take a rest first. We have prepared a dinner for you. I will come back in the evening. If you need anything, you can tell the ninja on duty outside the manor gate and he will arrange it for you."

After saying this, Tongcao Yeiren hurried away, ready to report his observations of the Kumogakure support team to Gotachibana Yagura.

There is no need to say much about Yeyue Ai and the others, they have detailed intelligence. The hundreds of Cloud Ninjas are the key. Judging from their age, they should have been sent out by the Hidden Cloud Village for training, so their qualifications must be good.

This has to be arranged well so that these people can contribute better on the battlefield while ensuring the safety of the other side.

If the entire army was wiped out by accident, they would have a hard time explaining to the Hidden Cloud Village.

"The Hidden Cloud Village is very sincere!"

After listening to the report and analysis from Togusa Yaito, Gotachibana Yagura was surprised at the level of support from the Hidden Cloud Village.

He originally thought that at most one Kage-level warrior would be sent, but who would have thought that so many would come.

Especially Tamura Hao and Uchiha Hikaru. Just from the intelligence we can see how powerful the two are. They are both absolutely strong among the Kage level.

"They are all very young. It is obvious that the Third Raikage still wants to use this Ninja World War to hone them. Those people will definitely become the pillars of the top leaders of the Hidden Cloud Village in the future."

Tongcao Yebairen could guess what the Hidden Cloud Village was thinking. It was obvious that the Hidden Cloud Village valued the future more and put a lot of effort into cultivating the younger generation.

"It is beneficial to be on good terms with the Hidden Cloud Village now and for some time to come."

Karutagi Yagura is not opposed to making friends with the Hidden Cloud Village, even though the Hidden Cloud Village had betrayed them, the Hidden Mist Village, in the war in the Land of Whirlpools.

But that was a collaboration between the teacher and the Hidden Cloud Village, which solved the hidden danger of internal strife for their Hidden Mist Village.

Otherwise, if those elite ninjas were still there, they would have suffered heavy losses or even been destroyed once a coup broke out.

I myself was a beneficiary of that war, so naturally I would not veto it.

At the same time, the sincerity shown by the Hidden Cloud Village is really enough, making it impossible for people to be dissatisfied.

"How is the Three-Tails' chakra adapting?"

Turning the topic to the Three-Tails Chakra experiment, Karatachi Yagura wanted to take this opportunity to train his own team.

The plan of splitting the tailed beast into a Jinchūriki had a great impact on him. In addition to splitting the tail of the Three-Tails and weakening the Three-Tails so that he could better control it, there was another option.

He didn't know what the other tailed beasts were like, but there were quite a few small three-tails in the body of the Three-Tail, an extremely exaggerated number, and each contained a lot of chakra.

It is entirely possible to seal it into the body of a ninja and create large numbers of tailed beast jinchūriki.

Even though those small three-tails are not very strong, they can definitely improve the ninja's strength, especially in the water escape technique.

Those larger three-tails should be able to shape the tailed beast coat, which will be a greater improvement.

“It will take some time to get used to it.”

The man with the wild bait replied, feeling very excited.

This is a prerequisite for becoming a Jinchūriki of a split-tailed beast. Only when the chakra of the tailed beast is in harmony to a certain degree can it be carried. Otherwise, if it is sealed rashly, it is likely to get out of control.

"Let's get used to each other as soon as possible. Although their arrival will greatly increase our overall strength, they will also be valued by Konoha, and they will definitely send strong people to support them.

This battle is still not easy to fight."

Turning his eyes to the huge map hanging on the wall, Karuju Yagura attached great importance to this war. He must succeed and must not fail.

"I see!"

Tongcao Yebairen responded solemnly, also understanding the danger of this battle.

Wild beasts are always most dangerous when they are injured. Konoha is now a wounded wild beast, and its counterattack will surely be desperate.

Not to mention that according to the information they had obtained, Konoha was suspected to possess super-standard combat power comparable to the first generation Hokage.

Although they don't know what limitations such means have, it is a huge threat after all, and they, the Mist Ninjas, need to become stronger.

"And Qing and the others, please give us more advice on battlefield experience."

Finally, he talked about the subordinates he had recruited. They all had great potential. Among them, Ao, Biwa Juuzou and Kurochu Raiga would carry the three tails of the Three-Tails to assist him in training and fighting. They would also be members of his shadow guards after he became the fourth generation in the future.

They were all his own team, and the Third Generation Sensei had already promised that after the next Ninja World War, as long as he performed well enough, he would pass on the position of Mizukage to him.

He firmly believed this, mainly because the teacher was too old.

The teacher is a strong man who came from the Warring States Period. He also followed the first generation to participate in the Five Kage Summit. He should have become the second generation, but the position of Mizukage was snatched away by Hozuki Gengetsu and the united ninja clan.

Therefore, the teacher is the oldest among the third generations of the five major ninja villages. He is still at his peak now, but when the next Ninja World War comes, his level will inevitably decline drastically, and passing on the throne is inevitable.

I am the teacher's only disciple, so the teacher naturally wants to pass the position of Mizukage to me. This way, the inheritance can be maintained and a situation like the second generation can be avoided, which would lead to another split in the village.

But I also have to work hard. Not only do I need enough military achievements, but I also need the support of a strong team.

"I will guide them seriously. If possible, I would like to arrange them to the Cloud Ninjas to temper their proud temperaments."

Tongcao Yebairen made a suggestion. He had a headache with those people. Each of them was unruly, bloodthirsty and cruel. Only Qing was relatively normal.

But that's true. After all, they are the last batch of ninjas to emerge from the blood mist policy. It's normal that they are difficult to control.

“It really takes some grinding.”

Thinking back to the personalities of those people, Karatachi Yagura expressed his agreement.

In fact, seriously speaking, if there were other options, he really didn't want to train those people. They were too difficult to tame. This was the drawback of the blood mist policy.

Although those trained are the elite among the elites, they all have some problems with their mental awareness. It is also a test for the teacher to assign those people to himself.

Twenty years of blood mist policy has changed many people. If he can't even control the younger generation, let alone those predecessors.

This time, I can use the Hidden Cloud Village to temper the temperaments of those people and let them know what a true genius is.

Not to mention what was happening here, Konoha soon received information that the Hidden Cloud Village was supporting the Hidden Mist Village, and learned the support lineup, and everyone was shocked.

Hinata Hiashi immediately went to the Hokage building and submitted an application for withdrawal. He didn't really want to retreat, but just wanted to retreat to advance and use this as a way to allow the Hokage faction to send out people.

The northern front was completely destroyed by the Hidden Cloud Village, and the Uchiha elite were almost wiped out. The Hyuga people did not want to end up like the Uchiha.

Moreover, those in the Hokage faction also need to be vigilant and on guard. The battle on the northern front revealed too many strange things, and the spearheads were vaguely pointing at the Hokage faction, so they have to be on guard.

"hateful!"

After Hinata Hiashi left, Utane Koharu slapped the table, very annoyed.

This is a threat, a naked threat.

"The support from the Hidden Cloud Village is indeed very strong. Those people are all real Kage-level warriors. Even the two Uzumaki girls can burst out with Kage-level combat power when they join forces."

Mizuto Menen took off her glasses and wiped them. She did not expect that the Hidden Cloud Village would suddenly support the Hidden Mist Village, and the support would be so strong. It can be said that all the outstanding ninjas of the younger generation were sent out, and even the son of the Raikage was leading the team.

Needless to say, with the presence of the Raikage's son, the Third Raikage will surely come to provide support at any time, and the battlefield over there will be in chaos.

"We cannot retreat from the eastern battlefield."

Taking a puff of his cigarette irritably, Sarutobi Hiruzen set the tone.

Although I had thought of making Hinata suffer before, the problem now is too big.

If the eastern battlefield gets out of control and retreats, resulting in the loss of national territory, Daming Prefecture will definitely be furious again.

They had tried their best to persuade the envoy from Daming Prefecture and they didn't want to face him again.

Moreover, the daimyo and the daimyo's palace were already very dissatisfied with them. If they proposed to replace the Hokage, he would be forced to abdicate.

Therefore, the Eastern Front must not be retreated and must be maintained at all costs.

"Who should we send?"

Utane Koharu suppressed her anger and asked about the candidates who were to be dispatched.

"Jiraiya should be almost done with his training, let him go over there and take charge."

Sarutobi Hiruzen talked about his disciple. After the battle in the Land of Hot Springs, Jiraiya had been practicing fairy arts seriously, and even integrated the Lava Release, truly mastering the Lava Release, which greatly improved his strength.

That disciple's strength has surpassed mine, but fortunately their relationship is still maintained. Plus with that kind of personality, I don't have to worry about being on guard.

This time, Jiraiya would be sent to the eastern battlefield to take charge and take control of the front line there.

"Jiraiya's strength is fine, but his thinking is not mature enough."

Mitokado En pointed out Jiraiya's shortcomings. His strength was definitely enough, but he was far lacking in other aspects. He was not enough to lead an army alone, let alone fight against the entire Mist Village and Cloud Village.

Coupled with the previous grudge with the Hidden Cloud Village, he was worried that Jiraiya would not be able to withstand the stimulation and make irrational judgments, thus falling into the trap of the Hidden Cloud Village.

"Let Zhenhong and Zixiao go with them, and Minato can also go with them to gain some experience."

After naming three candidates, Sarutobi Hiruzen was also worried that the disciple would get carried away and fall into someone else's scheme.

"Might Guy is almost recovered. Do you want to make some arrangements? It's time to retake the front line in River Country. Danzo has urged us to do this many times."

Utane Koharu mentioned another thing, that they had no way to retake the northern front, after all, the Hidden Cloud Village was too strong now, especially the Third Raikage who seemed to have mastered the Sage Mode.

The only thing they can consider now is the battle line of Kawanokuni, which is what they promised to the Daimyo Prefecture before.

Before sending out Jiraiya and the other two, they should first gather enough strength to defeat the Sand Village and retake the River Country front. Then the entire battle situation will be much more stable.

"No, Might Dai must stay in the village to deal with the powerful person who might appear. The village cannot afford to lose."

Sarutobi Hiruzen decisively rejected it. If it were in the past, he would naturally support his old friend first. However, after knowing that his old friend might possess a Susanoo of the same level as Uchiha Madara, some things had to change.

Despite having such strength, Danzo still wrote letters urging them to go over for support, which clearly showed that he had ulterior motives.

You must be on guard against that old friend, perhaps he is your biggest threat.
