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

Chapter 156: Multiple Plots
Danzo Shimura, who was in a hidden base far behind the front line, had no idea that he was being targeted again. At this moment, he was staring at the Box of Paradise he got from Kizuna Castle.

I didn't take it seriously at first. After all, it was just a vague piece of information and speculation. Who would have thought that such a thing really existed.

After getting it back, I found that the power contained within it was even more terrifying, much more terrifying than the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

The main reason is that it is too extreme and has unimaginable corrosiveness. No matter what level of ninja is, he will be quickly corroded if he is contaminated by that black energy.

"Master Danzo, it has been basically confirmed that there are no conscious life forms inside. These dark energies are all unconscious and ownerless. It is possible that the original sealed existence inside has disappeared over the long years. We need a new carrier to carry it."

The middle-aged man in charge of researching the Box of Bliss suppressed his inner fear and reported carefully.

"What kind of carrier do you want?"

He spoke coldly, but his one eye was full of passion.

This dark energy is too strong. If I can master it in my hands, I will definitely have power comparable to the first generation teacher.

"A stronger carrier than the tailed beasts."

Swallowing his saliva, the middle-aged man replied with gritted teeth.

The corrosiveness of this dark energy is too strong. Even the chakra of the Three-Tails cannot resist this erosion. It obviously requires a carrier stronger than the tailed beast to carry it.

Although this almost impossible response made Shimura Danzo dissatisfied, he did not scold or refute it.

Because he also saw the terrifying corrosiveness of that dark energy. The Three-Tails Chakra he asked for from his daughter was quickly eroded and devoured, which shows how terrifying that dark energy is.

Even if the real body of the Three-Tailed Fox came, it would probably be quickly corroded and driven out of control by this power, or even assimilated.

As expected, it is something that almost destroyed the world. There are no errors in the ancient books obtained from Ghost Lantern City.

This power must be in our hands!
But what should I find to carry it?
There is no being in the world stronger than the tailed beasts, at least not now.

"I wonder what treasure the tribe on the moon was looking for."

His thoughts turned to the information that the child had sent him. One of the pieces of information recorded that the Hidden Cloud Village was attacked, and a mysterious Otsutsuki clan appeared and was looking for a forbidden treasure.

what is it then?

Can it become the carrier of this dark power?
At the same time, in a secluded desert mountain, Otsutsuki Shari was silently feeling the movement and transformation of his eyes.

The legend is true. The Hyuga's Byakugan is much purer than theirs, and will be transformed after combining with their Otsutsuki's chakra.

Over the past three years, he has been silently sensing the transformation of his eyes, but the pace of change is too slow.

Even if he sneaked into the Hidden Mist Village and stole the corpse of a Kaguya ninja from its laboratory and transplanted it into himself, it was still very slow and not perfect.

"After all, they are not from the main family. If they want to fully master this power, they need a child who is united with the main family's direct descendants."

Looking up at the bright moon in the night sky, Otsutsuki Shari wanted to go back very much. He needed the purest and most noble woman in the main family to help him give birth to a perfect child.

He could feel the terrifying power contained in these eyes. Even though it had not yet been fully developed, it was still terrifying. It consumed his own chakra too quickly.

If this continues, even if he successfully transforms his eyes, he will find it difficult to unleash their power.

He needed a perfect child to carry these eyes and his will.

In addition to this, he also needs the power of the huge reincarnation eye in the family's forbidden land to guide the final transformation of these eyes.

All of these require strong strength to accomplish, strong enough to suppress the power of the clan.

So we need to wait patiently, waiting for these eyes to transform to a certain extent and stabilize.

"Jinchuuriki is also a route, but the level of the tailed beast is too low. You need the legendary Ten Tails to do it. You need to find the stolen Outer Path Demon Statue."

Thinking of the stolen Outer Path Demon Statue, Otsutsuki Shari's eyes became hot.

As a member of the Otsutsuki clan, he naturally knew about the Ninja Clan and the Six Paths Sage, and also understood what the Outer Path Demon Statue was.

It is a taboo, but also a power.

But since the ninja world created by the Six Paths Sage was wrong, it is natural for them to eliminate it, and the Outer Path Demon Statue and the scattered tailed beast power also need to be taken back.

As long as the power of the Ten Tails is restored and sealed within the body using a seal technique, he can become a Ten Tails Jinchūriki like the Six Paths Sage. With the power of the Ten Tails, he can definitely carry these eyes perfectly.

The more he thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and Otsutsuki Shari couldn't help but smile.

The future of this world will definitely belong to him. He will become an existence like the Sage of Six Paths and open up a new era.

"Cloud Hidden Village!"

His thoughts suddenly turned and he turned to look in the direction of the Hidden Cloud Village. He had not forgotten the disastrous defeat and humiliation he had suffered.

Being defeated by the reptiles of the ninja world and having to flee in panic is my greatest humiliation and the biggest stain in my life, and it must be erased.

What Otsutsuki Shari didn't know was that his every move and even his thoughts were being monitored by an existence.

"His ideas are dangerous."

In the Pure Land of the Underworld, Otsutsuki Hamura doesn't like this descendant very much.

If we really let it grow, I'm afraid the entire race will be destroyed.

Although those descendants have been passed down for countless generations and he no longer has any feelings for them, they are still his descendants after all.

"The time is almost up. According to the records left by our mother, her people are coming to harvest the fruits. We need an open force to fight against them and test their methods. It would be best if we can kill them and study their power.

Before that, you and I must not take action, lest we attract the attention of my mother's tribesmen, or even attract the arrival of powerful beings from within too early."

The Six Paths Sage spoke indifferently, not because he was cold-hearted, but because he had seen too many things of this kind over the past thousands of years. Even his two sons had broken up and fought each other, which lasted for thousands of years.

He had always wanted to guide the two to unite, but unfortunately, the existence left by his mother secretly guided him, and he ultimately failed.

Now I can only hope for the next reincarnation.

"Why don't you destroy that tree?"

Otsutsuki Hamura sighed and turned the topic to the tree.

"The essence of that tree is not high. I have paid attention to it before. It is impossible for it to grow into a sacred tree. There is no need to worry."

The Six Paths Sage did not care about this. He had noticed the sacred tree earlier when it was growing, and sensed it, discovering that it was grown from a piece of the remains of a sacred tree.

However, the size of that piece of wreckage was too small, and the original power it contained was pitifully scarce, so it was not sensed when he was alive at that time.

Even if it grows into a tree on this basis, it will definitely not be able to become a sacred tree. At most, it can be regarded as a wood-style creature.

It itself is not a cause for concern, and it doesn't matter who gets it, whether it is the former Takigakure Village or the current Kumogakure Village.

Those who cannot reach that level of strength are all ants. The essence of that kind of existence is not something that ants can understand.

It would be better to let the tree grow now, so that it can serve as a backup force in the plan.

Seeing his brother say this, Otsutsuki Hamura did not refute, he just mentioned it briefly before.

"That bliss box was a little weird back then."

Turning the topic to the Box of Bliss, he felt the extreme dark power, too extreme.

"It's just some residual struggle."

The Six Paths Sage still didn't take it to heart. With his level of power, the only people he could care about were his mother's tribesmen.

"When are you going to let their chakra attach to reincarnation again?"

Otsutsuki Hamura didn't care much and talked about the chakras of his two nephews.

"Wait until Indra of this life completes his plan and passes away. Otherwise, once we get close, we will most likely sense Indra's chakra, and there will inevitably be more twists and turns."

The Sage of Six Paths did not intend to guide the chakra reincarnation of his two sons immediately, mainly because the reincarnation of Indra in this life was still there and had awakened the Rinnegan.

Even if the Rinnegan is transplanted today, it still retains some of its pupil power, and its perception is not weak, not to mention that it is a power that it once was extremely familiar with.

If they encounter a new reincarnation, they will definitely be able to sense it, which will be detrimental to their plans.

However, this generation of Indra will not last for a few more years, so it will not affect the plan.

"I don't know how my mother is doing."

Otsutsuki Hamura also thought of their plan and felt complicated. After all, she was their mother after all.

"If Mother can change and is willing to share her power to help us break through, I will not seal her. But if she remains the same as before, I will have no choice but to continue sealing her."

The Six Paths Sage comforted him and said that the plan must be carried out.

The power of him and Hamura has accumulated to a limit, the limit of their own bloodline, and if they want to make another breakthrough, they can only seek opportunities from their mother. Their mother is the pure Otsutsuki, and the two brothers are just bred by their mother using Yin-Yang escape combined with her own flesh and blood, which is not pure enough.

Because of this, their bodies aged back then, and even becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki could not change that.

According to the records left by the mother, the best way is to swallow a fruit of the sacred tree, use the power of the fruit of the sacred tree to perfect oneself, and become a real Otsutsuki.

However, a sacred tree can only produce one fruit, and the power of the sacred fruit lies in the mother. Even if they obtain the ten-tailed beast that has degenerated from the sacred tree, it will be difficult for them to obtain a sacred fruit.

Over the years, he could only accumulate chakra and tap into the potential of his bloodline.

The potential of the bloodline has now been tapped to its limit. If one wants to go further, he can only obtain the power of the fruit of the sacred tree from his mother.

This is the only way. They need to become stronger to fight against their mother's tribesmen. A thousand years is already the limit and they can't wait any longer.

This was also the main reason why they did not kill the legacy left by their mother after they discovered it, and it just happened to become a part of their plan.

“I hope my mother can change.”

Otsutsuki Hamura understood what his brother meant. Now he could only hope that after thousands of years of sealing, his mother's mind would change. They did not want to seal their mother again.

But my mother's thoughts are too extreme and her power is too strong. If she doesn't change, she will have to remain sealed.

"Let the things in this world develop as they are. We can't take any action. Otherwise, if the legacy of our mother finds out, it will be difficult to carry out the follow-up plan."

After giving the reminder, the Sage of Six Paths continued to guide the chakra to perfect the Pure Land of the Underworld, while waiting for the arrival of the soul of Indra's reincarnation in this life.

That was a sacrifice to liberate his mother. He needed to make a deep transformation on her soul so that he could check and balance her after her resurrection and seal her better.

This seal is different from the last one. It is a brand new seal that he has been perfecting for thousands of years. With the help of Uchiha Madara and the nine tailed beasts, it can perfectly extract the power of his mother.

As long as the mother absorbs the power of the nine tailed beasts, she will be able to access the core of their power.

Everything is planned!
……

Uchiha Madara, who was far away in an underground space, had no idea that he had been targeted by many parties. He had just woken up at this moment.

His physical condition had already reached its limit. Years of fighting with the power of Hashirama's cells had exhausted his vitality. The final awakening of the Rinnegan had further strained his body. If he had not summoned the Gaiden Statue in time and borrowed its life energy to sustain himself, he would have died of old age.

Even so, it is still necessary to sleep for a long time to reduce consumption and allow oneself to survive longer.

"Mito is dead too."

After listening to White Zetsu's report, Uchiha Madara sighed. Another old friend left.

"Master Ban, do you want to poop after sleeping for so long? Pee is also okay?"

Bai Zetsu suddenly asked eagerly, wanting to know what it felt like to poop and pee.

"After all, they are defective products and are not worth much use."

After staring at White Zetsu for a while, Uchiha Madara sighed helplessly.

This was cultivated by him with the help of the life force of the Outer Path Statue and Hashirama's cells, and was used to collect intelligence about the ninja world for himself, especially to find suitable chess pieces.

His body is in bad shape and he is barely alive. He needs a successor to help him complete the plan and finally guide Uzumaki Nagato to use the Rinnegan to resurrect himself perfectly.

"Is there any suitable candidate among the Uchiha now?"

He asked, he needed a younger Uchiha to complete the plan, an Uchiha with the potential to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.

"This is the list of Uchiha clan members who have awakened the Sharingan. There is no one who meets Master Ban's requirements."

A White Zetsu handed a thick booklet to Uchiha Madara. This was what they had investigated by infiltrating Konoha and the Land of Hot Springs. It recorded the information of every Uchiha who had awakened the Sharingan.

Uchiha Madara took the thick booklet and read it carefully. The records on it were very sloppy and messy. After all, things like White Zetsu did not have a high IQ, so one could not expect too much from them.

"It's too late to realize the conspiracy of Senju Tobirama now."

After reading it, Uchiha Madara threw the booklet aside with a sneer of disdain.

That booklet not only recorded the basic information of the Kaiyan Uchiha, but also some situations within the Uchiha family.

Now all the clan members are thinking about how to fight against the Senju faction and the Hokage faction, or even become Hokage through a coup.

What a bunch of idiots!
After seeing through the calculations of the sinister villain Senju Tobirama and the future of Konoha, he knew that his choice was wrong and Hashirama had betrayed his trust.

At that time, he wanted to lead the Uchiha to leave Konoha and find the true path to peace, otherwise the Uchiha would inevitably slowly die out in Konoha in the future.

Unfortunately, those idiots placed their hopes on the kid named Kagami, thinking that if Tobirama Senju accepted him as his disciple, he would become Hokage in the future.

As a result, Tobirama Senju passed the position of Hokage to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Kagami-chan also died not long after.

Now those people are getting anxious and want to seize the position of Hokage through a coup.

The fish is already in the net, but it still wants to jump out and bite the fisherman. How ridiculous.

"These people are worthless. Pay more attention to those Uchiha who haven't opened their eyes in the future, especially those who are kind-hearted. The younger the better."

After giving the order, Uchiha Madara didn't take the people recorded in the book seriously.

Even those younger generations who have awakened the Kaleidoscope look very outstanding, but they cannot last long.

Moreover, there are differences between the Mangekyō, and it depends on the person who uses it. Among all the Mangekyō Uchiha currently, only Uchiha Chiri is worthy of his attention.

The Uchiha no longer has any chance, the ending has already been determined, Konoha is the Uchiha's grave.

"Kind-hearted?"

Several White Zetsu were puzzled. What was this requirement?
"You don't understand Uchiha. Uchiha's power needs to be exchanged with love. The stronger the love, the stronger the power gained after the collapse."

He spoke quietly. As the Uchiha with the highest achievement in Sharingan, he knew the nature of Sharingan very well and knew what kind of people could awaken the Mangekyō, or even the powerful Mangekyō eye technique.

Being young means that their thoughts are not mature and stable enough, which is the best stage for guidance. If they are adult ninjas, it will be difficult to teach them, and they may even develop thoughts that they shouldn't have.

He needs an obedient Uchiha!
"Did anything else happen while I was asleep?"

Uchiha Madara has never stopped paying attention to the ninja world, especially now that we are still in the period of the Ninja World War, there will definitely be many interesting things happening.

"There was one. The Takigakure Village was massacred by a mysterious person and the Seven-Tails was snatched away. Afterwards, the Kumogakure Village transplanted a very large tree from the Takigakure Village back to the village. The tree was bigger than a mountain, and they set up a barrier with the power of Wood Release."

When a White Zetsu spoke of his discoveries in the Hidden Cloud Village, there was an even greater sense of fear.

The devouring power of that tree is too strong. Once they get close to it, they will be devoured actively. Several of their companions have already been devoured.

In front of that tree, their hiding was useless, it completely restrained their existence.

“I have some impression of that tree.”

Uchiha Madara knew what was being talked about. After leaving Konoha, he traveled around the ninja world and visited many places, including Takigakure Village.

At the time, I was also amazed by the size of the tree. I didn't expect it could carry the power of Wood Release.

As for how the Hidden Cloud Village obtained the power of Wood Release, he didn't care. It didn't matter.

Although Wood Release is powerful, the only one he takes seriously is Hashirama's Wood Release. Others' Wood Release is nothing but a joke.

Even the Wood Release he obtained with the help of Hashirama's cells was still far inferior to Hashirama's.

As for the Seven-Tails that was stolen, that is not important. The other party who stole the Seven-Tails must have set his eyes on the Seven-Tails' power and will use it sooner or later. It does not conflict with his own plan.

As long as I resurrect myself, all resistance will be a joke.

"The Third Hokage's disciple, Orochimaru, is conducting research on the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, hoping to revive the dead to fight."

Another White Zetsu reported an information that the Impure World Reincarnation is a very scary forbidden technique, especially for Konoha, which has had many powerful people.

"Resurrecting the dead? Is it the same technique as the Reincarnation Technique?"

Uchiha Madara became interested. The Reincarnation Technique was the foundation of his plan. It was used to resurrect himself to his peak state.

"No, it is just a temporary resurrection. It brings the soul of the deceased out from the netherworld and attaches it to the sacrifice, so that it can perform the ninjutsu before birth and possess unlimited chakra."

"Boring!"

Hearing that it was not a real resurrection, Uchiha Madara lost interest.

"Find a suitable target as soon as possible, and don't disturb me unless something serious happens."

After giving this instruction, Uchiha Madara fell into sleep again.

He needs this to extend his life until he finds a suitable successor.
