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

"I just feel that I have a good relationship with Xiaoxie. It reminds me of my past self. In the future, Xiaoxie will become the bond that maintains the friendship between our two villages."

Tamura Hao sighed and showed a nostalgic expression, indicating that he is a man with a story.

As for Scorpion, he is really talented. Not long after obtaining the technology of the Air Ninja Village, he upgraded his fighter jets. Now he has even begun to study Gundam... no, mecha.

If this trend continues, we will definitely be able to develop high-tech products like Mecha Naruto and Mecha Nine-Tails in the future.

The Hidden Cloud Village will never let go of such a rare talent.

"Don't let him go down the path of no return of becoming a human puppet. That path won't make much sense to your Hidden Cloud Village."

After looking at the boy suspiciously for a while, Chiyo could only give him a warning in the end.

Human puppets themselves are not a big secret, not to mention that they have long been deployed on the battlefield on a large scale. For example, a lot of human puppets were made from the corpses of Sarutobi Shimura's elite soldiers sent by the Hidden Cloud Village. They were lost in wars one after another. They must have been secretly taken away by some people.

The secret of the human puppet is bound to be difficult to keep secret. High-level chakra cores are difficult to make, but low-level chakra cores are easy to make.

However, this human puppet is still a system that is only suitable for their Sand Village. Daily maintenance alone requires a lot of medicines. Many of these medicines are specialties unique to their Sand Village and cannot be used in other ninja villages.

Especially now that all major ninja villages are stepping up their research on limb transplants for bloodline ninjas, their Sand Village has also conducted research and has achieved some results, which can allow ordinary ninjas to obtain a certain degree of bloodline power.

This is much more valuable than human puppet technology, and the Hidden Cloud Village must have also conducted research in this area.

"We'll keep an eye on the little scorpion."

Tamura Hao responded solemnly that he would certainly not let Scorpion follow the artistic path in the original work, and it would be fine for him to be a normal scientist.

Chiyo didn't say anything else and turned to go into the city to take charge of logistics affairs.

They waited like this for a while, until the bright moonlight shone down, and seeing that there was still no new movement from Konoha, the coalition of the four villages decided to attack and test the waters.

Tamura Hao pretended to use up a huge amount of chakra to open a space gate that led directly to a location a thousand meters behind the Konoha Ninja Army, and the assault team quickly passed through.

"Hanzo-senpai!"

Tamura Hao first signaled to Hanzo, and Hanzo understood, and immediately raised his hands to form seals and perform the summoning technique.

"Oh!"

A large cloud of mist exploded, revealing a huge creature, which was the summoning beast Salamander that made Hanzo famous.

Compared to the last time I saw it in the Hidden Rain Village, the current Salamander is much larger, no smaller than the original Ten Thousand Snakes. It has an extra layer of pale snake scales on its body, and its entire body looks more like a snake.

This is the result of Hanzo integrating the power of his own magic seal into the body of the salamander, as well as the incorporation of snake venom.

After the hook passed, the salamander opened its mouth wide and spewed out poisonous gas while running quickly, using the poisonous gas to form an isolation zone.

Today's poison gas can not only penetrate the body through breathing, but also through the skin. At most, the efficacy is a little lower, but it is enough to kill a Chunin instantly, and it will be very troublesome if a Jonin is contaminated.

Naturally, this sudden attack was reported immediately by the sensory ninjas of the Konoha Ninja Army, and everyone felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

"Does he want us to fight the Four Villages Alliance first so as to draw out their trump cards? Or does he want to wait until the Third Raikage appears before taking action?"

A thought flashed through Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind, and he realized that there was going to be trouble.

Judging from the number of people, this must be a test by the coalition forces of the four villages. Once the test is over, it will be a large-scale attack, which will be very deadly.

The most important thing is where is the Otsutsuki relic?

Will they act according to the agreement this time?

"teacher."

Jiraiya asked again, with a hint of urgency on his face.

The others also looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, waiting for the Hokage's orders.

Should we fight or should we retreat?

"Deal with them first and make sure the retreat route is open. Minato, keep a close eye on that Uchiha Hikaru. Don't let her have the chance to lead those people to retreat. At least hold everyone back."

After some consideration, Sarutobi Hiruzen decided to fight.

Although the Otsutsuki Shari has his own plans, they now have no way out.

If they retreated back to the camp in disgrace at this moment, not only would their own prestige be severely damaged, but it would also be difficult to deal with the coalition forces of the four villages here, and the overall battle situation would become even more difficult to control.

Once the warrior armies of the four major countries enter the Fire Nation and start to divide it up, everything will be over.

We cannot retreat from this battle, we must fight.

He also believed that Otsutsuki Shari would definitely not miss this opportunity.

Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen giving the order, everyone decisively attacked to the rear.

Whether fighting or retreating, the retreat route must be guaranteed and must not be cut off by the opponent.

Jiraiya, the most active one, took action first. After entering the Sage Mode, he transformed himself into a lava giant and ran forward to launch a brutal charge.

A ninjutsu creation of this size does not require any skills or tricks, just rush forward.

Although his lava giant does not have the ability to absorb chakra like Wood Release, the high temperature of the lava is also terrifying.

"Your opponent is still Namikaze Minato, and I will take care of Jiraiya."

Looking at the lava giant rushing towards him, Tamura Hao said something to Uchiha Guang, and then quickly created a statue of Mutan Buddha, with two long swords appearing in his hands.

There was no way. His physical condition had not recovered yet, making it difficult for him to fight personally. He could only temporarily switch to being a Gundam pilot.

Because it is a pure energy form, coupled with the levitation ability obtained from the Longdi Cave Snake Immortal, the speed of the Wujitian Buddha statue is very fast.

This also allowed Tamura Hao to demonstrate amazing flexibility in controlling the Wu Tian Buddha statue, which helped to unleash his swordsmanship.

He took a step forward, and when he was about to collide with the lava giant, he leaned his body and ran close to the ground, and the two swords in his hands slashed at the lava giant's legs one after another.

The lava giant's thick legs were instantly cut off by the double swords, but Jiraiya had already prepared for it. He quickly extended new lava calves from the knees to continue supporting the lava giant's inertia, then he braked suddenly, turned around and raised his hands to block the double swords.

The two behemoths fought like this. Jiraiya relied on his powerful fairy chakra and fought hard without hesitation, without any reservation.

The others also faced their respective opponents, but Ye Cang went to find Orochimaru first. Not only were they old rivals, Ye Cang also had murderous intent towards Orochimaru.

It has been confirmed that Danzo Shimura and Orochimaru used the ninjas from their Sand Village for experiments, and no one knows how many of their compatriots died tragically at their hands.

This beast must pay with blood!

Orochimaru also felt Ye Cang's murderous intent, but did not take it to heart.

There are so many people who want to kill him, not just one.

Moreover, he can do a better job against this woman, mainly because he is familiar enough with her methods and can deal with them better.

Everyone else was engaged in a fierce battle, except Sarutobi Hiruzen and Thor who was holding Thor's hammer, who did not take action. The two just stared at each other from a distance.

They are the commanders of the two teams, so naturally they won't act rashly.

Of course, the main reason why the Thunder God clone did not take the initiative to attack was that Sarutobi Hiruzen was too far away. Now Tamura Hao can perfectly control the Thunder God clone to fight within 150 meters. Once it exceeds this distance, the control will drop rapidly.

Even if he could seal a shadow clone in advance and control it remotely, the ability of the shadow clone is still far behind his own, and he would not be able to fully unleash the strength of the Thor clone.

So it is better to confront them like this, and Tamura Hao does not want to deal with these people immediately. The stalemate will be more helpful for the Third Kazekage and others to observe and decide.

Once he sees through Sarutobi Hiruzen's confidence, he will definitely lead his army to attack. Then it will be a melee and the casualties will be difficult to stop.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had no idea what the person opposite him was thinking, and he became more and more anxious.

The battle has already begun, but the Otsutsuki Shari, whom he had high hopes for, still has not appeared. Could it be that he didn't come?

Thinking of this, his old face instantly turned dark. He was actually stood up.

If you think about it carefully, it is not impossible. After all, everything before was just my guess, and I have no way to contact the Otsutsuki Shari. I couldn't communicate before, so who knows whether the other party has come.

"Was he injured in the fierce battle with Hyuga Hiashi, or is he still chasing Hyuga Hiashi?"

His mind was racing, and Sarutobi Hiruzen was becoming more and more annoyed.

If Otsutsuki Shari didn't come, we would be in trouble.

Moreover, we have already clashed with those people. The main force of the four-village coalition forces on the mountain city behind us may attack us at any time to launch a siege. The situation is extremely critical. If we are not careful, all the people we brought with us will be wiped out.

The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, but Sarutobi Hiruzen did not show it. On the surface, he still appeared very calm, as if he had everything under control.

"Do I need to use the Impure World Reincarnation here?"

He was thinking about how to break the impasse. If the Otsutsuki Shariu did not come, he could only use the Impure World Reincarnation to defeat these people, and even severely damage or even destroy the coalition of the four villages.

However, once the Impure World Reincarnation is used, it will bring about a series of problems and the future situation will become even more difficult.

However, if we don't use it, this level will be difficult to overcome. Once the people we brought here are destroyed, the situation in the future will become even more difficult.

Chapter 249 The Impure Earth Army is here!

"You don't need to come out yet. Are you luring the enemy deeper?"

On top of Kikyoyama Castle, the Third Kazekage and others watched the battle at the foot of the mountain, guessing Konoha's true intentions.

War is no joke, let alone the other side is so confident that they come straight at us.

You have to know that they are not only the ones defending the city, they also have the advantage in military strength and many powerful people. No matter how you look at it, the Konoha Ninja Army has no chance of winning.

The other party must have other means to come here in this way. The reason why they don't come out now is probably because they want to lure the enemy deep into the city and lead them out of the city to encircle and kill them.

That way they would lose the advantage of wall defense.

I can only say that he is worthy of being the Third Hokage, he is bold and courageous.

But what exactly is the other party’s trump card?

Is this really the forbidden technique that can resurrect the dead that was rumored some time ago?

Does that kind of forbidden technique really exist?

Or maybe there is also a strong physical warrior who practices the Eight Gates Ninjutsu?

"Lord Kazekage, the Thunder God of the Hidden Cloud Village has requested that the Ninja Army go into battle and use the Detonating Talisman to attack from a distance to contain the Konoha Ninja Army and prevent them from interfering with their battle.

In addition, the poison gas defense line of Yuyin leader Hanzo-sama has been initially arranged and is currently being reinforced."

At this time, a Sand Ninja came quickly to report that this was the latest information from the front line.

"Execute the fifth set of tactics. After you have cast half of the detonating talismans, do not linger in the fight and retreat immediately."

The Third Kazekage thought for a moment and then decisively ordered the battle.

The main force of this exploration team is the Cloud Ninja. If they really try to drag their feet and use tricks to make them angry and leave, then only the Sand Village will be left to face the Konoha Ninja Army, and they will definitely be unable to defeat them.

Now it's a war, and Konoha is the first target.

After receiving the order, thousands of ninjas quickly jumped down from the city wall and rushed to the edge of the forest a thousand meters away. Among them, the hundreds of protected ninjas took off the huge scroll on their backs and unfolded it, then raised their hands to make hand seals to release the sealing spell on it.

With a muffled bang, a number of large crossbows appeared.

The Sand Village ninjas acted quickly, loading arrows with explosive tags, activating their crossbows and shooting them towards the forest battlefield ahead.

"Boom boom boom..."

Huge detonating arrows were thrown down and exploded, and flames instantly covered the forest, igniting the relatively dry leaves on the ground into a huge fire.

The Sand Village assault team did not stop and continued to load arrows and bombard.

Anyway, it's just launching detonating tags, and there's no need to fight with the Konoha ninjas at close range. There's no danger, so it doesn't matter how you launch it.

That’s not all. Some arrows are also added with poison that can burn and produce poisonous smoke.

The ninjas of the Sand Village are good at using poison, so poison is naturally indispensable in war.

The Konoha ninjas in the forest were in a miserable state. The explosive arrows with such a high density were too powerful. Even the shock wave from the explosion was enough to make a person vomit blood.

In addition, it was dark and the woods made it difficult to detect the arrow's landing point in the first place.

"Hokage, the Sand Ninja has launched a large number of explosive arrows into our area, which has set the woods on fire and produced a large amount of poisonous smoke. Our gas masks will not last long."

An Anbu ninja quickly came to Sarutobi Hiruzen to report, his tone filled with anxiety.

What kind of trump cards does Lord Hokage have that he has not used yet?

Use it quickly!

Everyone was waiting for Sarutobi Hiruzen's trump card, otherwise they would be wiped out.

It was like when it rains it pours, and the next moment more bad news came.

"Hokage-sama, we have found the traces of Hanzo, the leader of Amegakure. He is spraying poison gas with salamanders a thousand meters behind our army. A defense line has been formed. It is currently determined that the poison gas can penetrate the body through the skin. The enemy is still widening the poison gas defense line."

An Anbu ninja rushed over to report, this time he was really panicked.
