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

Chapter 111 Shouzaki Lizard
"Senior, please give me some advice!"

Tiancun Hao took a deep breath, put the big cat into the sealing ritual, took out the small cat again, and also took out the matching scabbard.

"Don't die!"

He said this seriously, Mifune slightly bent his legs and placed his right hand on the hilt of the knife.

Tamura Hao saw that this was a standard Iai Slash posture, also known as Tachiai Slash, used in head-on confrontation, and the key point was speed.

Without delay, he also slightly bent his legs, placed his right hand on the hilt of the sword, and stared closely at Mifune opposite him, or to be more precise, at the opponent's sword.

The dynamic vision of the Sharingan and the perspective ability of the Byakugan were stimulated to the extreme, and with the blessing of the understanding of the golden finger, he tried his best to observe Mifune's physical explosion this time.

This is Mifune's strongest killer move. He used it to defeat Hanzo of the Salamander during the Fourth War, and even Hanzo of the Salamander's sickle was cut off.

Facing such a deadly sword technique, you must give it your all.

The electric light on his body gathered towards his right arm, stimulating his muscles and bones to an extreme.

Seeing that Tamura Hao was ready, Mifune no longer waited, his figure disappeared in an instant, and when he appeared again, he was already behind Tamura Hao.

At the same time, Tian Cun Hao had drawn his sword without knowing when, but only half of the blade was left, and the other half flew out in a spiral and finally stuck in the ground.

Then the half blade in his hand fell to the ground, his right arm hung limply, and blood flowed from his sleeve.

The breastplate was also cut open, and part of the sternum was cut from the right side of the abdomen to the left shoulder.

It was only because his bones were strong enough, otherwise his entire chest would have been cut open.

With great difficulty, he took out a bottle of spray medicine from a sealing ritual and sprayed it on the wound. It turned into a gelatinous form and temporarily glued the wound together. Then Tiancun Hao looked at the broken knife on the ground.

“Is this the unity of man and sword?”

The Little Meowth is a supreme weapon of the same level as Mifune's Kurosawa, and both were created by their teacher Ichiro Kusama.

But now it was cut off by Mifune's Kurosawa, just like Mifune cut off Salamander Hanzo's sickle in the future four wars.

He was also severely injured by the knife and his chest was almost cut open.

And this is definitely not Mifune's full strength, at least he has not yet erupted with murderous intent and murderous aura.

Compared to ninjas, the murderous aura of samurai is more condensed, and when integrated into swordsmanship, it is more powerful.

In the future, Orochimaru was able to shock Jisuke with his own murderous aura alone, and Zabuza Momochi even used the murderous aura to change his own chakra. Both of them were uses of murderous aura.

The warrior's murderous aura is even more fierce and concentrated.

"This is the perfect fusion of man and sword, which allows the power of both parties to be transformed, and the edge of the sword exceeds the limit of its own material, so that nothing can be cut through."

Mifune sheathed the Kurosawa and turned around to look at the young man in front of him with even greater admiration.

Not only does this child have an unparalleled talent in sword-making, his talent in swordsmanship is even more amazing.

The flash of three swords before made his eyes light up, and the Iai Slash he just used was even faster and more powerful, and it actually kept up with his own speed.

Only if I realize that man and sword are one, I can cut through anything. Otherwise, I would have gained little.

"The Iai Slash you just used is a little different."

He asked again. He could see that the Iai Slash used by the child was not right. It seemed to be more extreme. His right arm hung down limply, and blood was flowing from his sleeve.

Obviously, the explosion just now far exceeded the bearing limit of the arm.

"That's the sword-drawing slash I developed based on the Iai Slash. It's more extreme, focusing on unleashing all of one's own strength, and calculating and even predicting the opponent's attack angle, speed, strength, etc. It's either you die or I die.

It is suitable for bursting out in desperate situations. The idea is that the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. It is used with all your strength to cut through everything in front of you. At present, it seems too immature. "

Tamura Hao still did not hide anything and explained the concept behind the previous attack.

He created this sword-drawing and slashing move by referring to the idea of ​​the Crescent Moon Scimitar and Divine Sword Slashing. For this reason, he practiced sword-drawing before going to bed every day, and on average he did so hundreds of times a day in a year.

Even though hundreds of times may not seem like a lot, they were all bursts of his full strength, which consumed a lot of energy and might even injure his arm muscles if he wasn't careful.

At the same time, precise calculations are required, which consumes a lot of mental energy. He can now only make ten strikes at most every night.

When the chakra is exhausted with one strike of the sword, and one's own mind and energy are also exhausted, it means that one has achieved great success.

That is the true ultimate explosion of one's own, just like the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu, it is a desperate killing move, either you die or I die.

Although it is very fierce, when you are really in a desperate situation, you must fight hard without any hesitation, otherwise you will have no chance to fight.

"Meet the brave to win on the narrow road!"

As he repeated those words, Mifune appreciated it even more.

This child truly possesses the spirit of a samurai, and is not one of those weird and vicious ninjas.

Perhaps this really is the future of their warriors.

"Okisuke!"

Mifune called out to a young man who was watching the battle from the outside, saying that he had prepared a gift for the kid before, and now it seemed that the gift was very suitable and the kid was qualified to take it.

The young man walked over quickly, holding a scroll in his hand.

"I have heard from Senior Ichiro about your swordplay ideas. This gift should be able to help you. I hope you can follow the path you envisioned."

Mifune was very optimistic about this child. At least the idea of ​​swordsmanship that used changes in the nature of chakra was feasible. Even some of their samurai had tried this.

However, there is no accumulation of this aspect in their warrior system, and the results are minimal.

But this child comes from the Hidden Cloud Village, and with his natural talent and understanding, he can definitely succeed on this path.

Such an outstanding junior is worthy of investment.

"Thank you for the gift, Senior. I will not let you down."

Tamura Hao didn't act pretentiously and took the scroll with a determined look on his face.

He is quite determined on the path of physical skills and swordsmanship, as he will rely on this to fight against the Otsutsuki clan in the future.

"If you meet that demigod one day in the future, compete with him on my behalf."

Mifune expressed his obsession. He is now a general of the Iron Country and cannot act at will. He is afraid that he will never be able to fight that person again in this life.

But this child is a ninja from the Hidden Cloud Village and will not have such concerns as he does. This is also one of the main reasons why he gave this gift.

"Junior has taken note of it!"

Tamura Hao nodded solemnly in agreement. This was not a difficult task for him, and he had already thought about going to the Rain Country.

I don't know whether Uchiha Madara transplanted the Rinnegan into Uzumaki Nagato's body.

Uzumaki Nagato should still be in the Land of Rain. At least, among the children brought out from the Uzushiogakure Village, there is no name Uzumaki Nagato, and there is no record of him in the family tree. His parents should have left the Uzushiogakure Village and settled outside.

After exchanging some kendo ideas with Mifune, Tamura Hao did not stay long. He left the general's residence with Kusayama Ichiro and met up with Uzumaki Kushina and the others who were waiting outside.

"Teacher, I'm leaving!"

Tamura Hao said goodbye to Ichiro Kusama. They needed to take a detour to another place and time was tight, so they had to leave as soon as possible.

"Safe travels!"

Ichiro Kusama glanced at his disciple's right arm which was no longer bleeding and nodded, his heart full of longing for the future.

I cannot forge a famous sword that will be passed down from generation to generation, but my disciples can certainly do it.

Tian Cun Hao didn't say anything else. He turned around and left with the others. Uzumaki Yuye walked while using the palm magic to heal Tian Cun Hao's hanging right arm.

The last slash with the sword caused great damage to the muscles and tendons. Now they are very sore.

"Don't mess around like this anymore."

Retracting the Palm Immortal Technique, Uzumaki Yuye gave a warning.

Through chakra sensing, she saw that the injury on the child's arm was very serious, and even an ordinary person would be crippled.

"That's a desperate measure. I don't think you'll need it very often in the future."

Tiancun Hao also didn't want to use such a desperate method. If he didn't want to further realize the state of unity between man and sword today, he would not have used the sword-drawing slash.

"I don't need your blood."

Pushing away the small hand that was handed to him, Tamura Hao glared at Uzumaki Vanilla.

The blood of Uzumaki Vanilla is indeed magical, but after fusing Kaguya and the Ten-Tails' chakra, she also has a certain self-healing ability, especially the ability of the Corpse Bone Vein, which can quickly repair bone injuries. This kind of injury can be healed in a few days.

However, the girl still stretched out her hand, appearing very stubborn.

"Snapped!"

"Be good, I don't like people who don't listen."

Tiancun Hao decisively slapped the girl in the face, causing her pretty face to blush and she covered her back with her hands, and she no longer insisted.

This scene made Uzumaki Kushina on the side so angry that her teeth were itching, and Uchiha Hikaru also cast an unfriendly look.

Yeyue Ai and Fukai were full of envy. Look at how many beauties there are, and they are still single.

When I return to the village this time, I must find a beautiful girlfriend.

After Uzumaki Tamae wrapped Tamura Hao's arm with a medical bandage and hung it around his neck, the group quickened their journey.

A few days later, they arrived at the location of Shuzaki Ridge, the former capital of the Shu Kingdom.

"This should be the Suzaki Ridge, but according to intelligence, the Kingdom of the First was destroyed more than 20 years ago, the castle where the capital was located was also destroyed, and their royal family, the Suzaki clan, was also massacred. It is impossible for anyone to survive."

After taking out the map and observing it carefully, Yeyueai felt that this trip was not very reliable.

“But there are strange rumors here, and many people have disappeared here, so there must be something wrong.

The strange rumors are most likely some illusion or secret technique, and according to our intelligence, the last daimyo of the Shuzaki clan seems to have a summoning beast with the power of illusion.

Now, either the remaining members of the Shuzaki clan are here to scare people and prevent others from getting close to carry out some kind of conspiracy, or it is some kind of mysterious summoned beast.

It's rare to find a spirit beast with the power of illusion, so it's worth the trip."

Tian Cun Hao looked at the mountains stretching in front of him. He came here just for the big lizard.

"You're targeting that kind of psychic beast!"

Several people suddenly realized that they had not asked much questions before. They thought that they were looking for the remaining members of the Shuqi clan, but who would have thought that the real target was the summoning beast.

"A summoning beast that is proficient in illusion!"

Uchiha Hikaru became interested. She had a good talent for illusion, and if she could have an illusion summoning beast to cooperate with her, the effect would definitely be better.

"Aunt Yuye!"

Tamura Hao signaled to Uzumaki Tamaba that if there really were summoned beasts or other ninjas, this person would have to sense them.

The Kagura Heart Eye with a range of thirty kilometers is most suitable for this.

Uzumaki Tamae didn't say much, and soon she reaped the rewards of using Kagura's Mind Eye.

"Over there, there is a strong chakra fluctuation."

Pointing to the highest mountain, there was a chakra reaction there, with a high intensity.

Without any delay, they ran towards there and soon arrived in front of a castle.

Yeyue Ai and the others hadn't figured out anything yet, but Uchiha Hikaru and Tamura Hao, who had borrowed Kaguya's eye power, saw that it was not a castle, but a giant lizard coiled there, a very huge lizard.

The big lizard seemed to have discovered that its illusion disguise had been seen through, and it stared at the people below with vigilance.

"It's really a psychic beast!"

Tiancun Hao said "as expected", then looked at the others and asked, "Who among you is interested in this giant lizard?"

He didn't have any feelings towards this spiritual beast, and it wasn't of much help to him.

He would also consider it if it was a spiritual beast with magical powers like those from the three holy places, or one like the monkey clan with the indestructible ability.

Of course, the most important thing is that he is somewhat resistant to spiritualism.

In the past, I have used psychic arts to trick too many opponents, and I am worried about the consequences of karma, and I will be tricked by psychic arts in the future.

"too ugly!"

Uchiha Guang lost interest and even looked a little disgusted.

"My illusion ability doesn't work with me!"

Yeyueai shook his head. He wanted a spiritual beast with super jumping ability. It would be more fun to ride it and chop people with a sword. Forget about the illusion type.

Fukai also shook his head, saying it was inconsistent with his fighting style.

"Give it to Vanilla!"

Uzumaki Kushina suggested that among them, Vanilla's strength was the weakest at the moment, mainly because she started practicing too late, and they would feel more at ease if they had a summoned beast to protect them.

Moreover, it is not difficult to summon such a large summoning beast with Vanilla's chakra amount, it is enough.

Uzumaki Vanilla looked at Tamura Hao, knowing that her master's will was her own will.

"I know you can understand human language. If you agree to become my companion's spiritual beast, I will give you one portion of this life energy every month. You can also make other requests. If you agree, I will send you the spiritual contract."

Tamura Hao raised his hand and condensed a ball of pure life force and wrapped it in chakra, which came from the life force of the little Ten-Tails.

He had no interest in going into the giant lizard's mouth to play the dungeon, so he just bribed it directly.

Sure enough, as soon as the ball of pure life force appeared, the big lizard stared at it, hesitated for a long time, and finally dispelled the illusion disguise, stretched out its long tongue, caught the life force wrapped in chakra and swallowed it into its mouth.

He squinted his eyes and felt the comfort of the life force spreading and merging in his body. After a while, he opened his eyes and spoke in human language.

"My tribe needs meat, tens of thousands of pounds of meat every day."

Their own tribe needs a large amount of meat to grow and reproduce, at least tens of thousands of pounds a day.

"How about fish? If you're not picky, you can have as much as you want."

Tian Cun Hao asked, it is not difficult to cook tens of thousands of kilograms of meat, and it is even easier if you are not picky about food.

The village has reached an agreement with the Daming Prefecture and has started the railway and ship plans. In particular, once the large ships are manufactured, they will have the ability to sail in the deep sea, and then they will be able to go fishing in the deep sea areas.

Not to mention ten thousand kilograms, even ten thousand tons is not a problem. For him, it is just a small expense.

Even if we directly invest in manufacturing fishing boats, the overall cost can be further reduced.

The lizard clan is obviously a tribe. This kind of psychic beast that tends to be illusion-type is also worth cultivating. He will give as much as he can eat.

"Sure, my name is Tadayoshimaru!"

After giving a simple reply, the giant lizard Churyomaru spat out a scroll of spiritual contract from his mouth.

"It's Kishimoto, is it just a coincidence that they have the same name?"

Unfolding the spiritual scroll and looking at the second to last name inside, Tian Cun Hao wondered about that person's background.

Vanilla Uzumaki happily pierced her palm with a knife, wrote her name on it with blood, and then used chakra to activate the brand to complete the signing of the contract.

Seeing that the contract was completed, Zhongliangmaru stuck out his tongue, stuck to the contract scroll and put it into his mouth, then exploded into a cloud of mist and returned to the spiritual world.

In fact, it has been staying here for more than 20 years because it is waiting for a new psychic.

Otherwise, without a psychic, they would not be able to leave the psychic world on their own initiative, and the psychic contract of their lineage would be invalid.

Don’t think that being a psychic beast means being a slave. In fact, most of the time, they are paid for selflessly helping psychics, especially for high-level psychic beasts like them in the psychic world.

The biggest reward is food. It is not easy to feed a tribe, and it is unrealistic to rely solely on the small amount of land in the spiritual world.

He used to rely on the Shuzaki clan for support, but now that he has such a generous and powerful being, he is very satisfied.

"We need to go to a port with a developed fishing industry first. We should have enough time!"

Tiancun Hao was already thinking about catching fish, so he used his money to get a batch first.

"The nearest large port is here. If we travel at full speed, we can arrive in two days and then turn to Konoha."

Fukai opened the map and searched, eventually locking onto a port mark.

Unlike Ye Yue Ai, who is the son of the Raikage, he often goes out on missions, including overseas missions, and knows more about the outside world.

"Then go full speed ahead, Vanilla!"

Tamura Hao also looked at the marks and routes on the map, squatted down and motioned Uzumaki Vanilla to lie on his back.

Vanilla Uzumaki had never received ninja training before. She only started practicing after arriving in the Iron Kingdom. Her foundation is relatively poor, especially in her physical condition.

The main reason was that he had been sucked too hard by those people from the Grass Village before, which damaged his foundation and made his body very weak. It took him this year to recover.

The previous few days of traveling were already the limit. If we speed up again, this girl won’t be able to bear it.

Uzumaki Vanilla knew that she couldn't go fast enough, so she just lay on her owner's back with a look of happiness on her little face.

It’s great to be close to the master.

Without any delay, they headed quickly towards the port.

While running, Tamura Hao recalled the scroll given to him by Mifune, which recorded Mifune's experience in swordsmanship training, including several killing moves, among which were Iai Slash and Sky Removal.

As a super-powerful samurai who has realized the state of unity between man and sword, or a swordsman, Mifune's understanding of kendo is unmatched by other samurai, and Tamura Hao has benefited a lot from it.

Then there is a footwork called Shunpo, which is similar to the Shunshinjutsu and is also a basic footwork of the Iai Slash. It can burst out with super fast speed in an instant to assist the Iai Slash.

There are rumors nowadays that the ninja's ninjutsu is ineffective against Mifune because the ninja has no time to form hand seals in front of Mifune.

The focus is on this instant step, which is a type of physical technique, but it is more sophisticated and has a faster burst speed.

Tamura Hao attached great importance to this instant step, as he happened to have a move that required it. His previous idea was to use the instant body technique and the lightning instant body technique to assist it, but now with this instant step, it would be even better.
