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

Chapter 195: Sage Hanzo
Senju Orange Water made confidential arrangements for the event of Rope Tree awakening Wood Release, but still underestimated the methods of Sarutobi Hiruzen and others. The information was transmitted back to Konoha as soon as possible, and the trio was shocked.

"Huruzen, we can't wait any longer. The Senju has used Wood Release again, and he's the grandson of the first generation teacher. Once the news spreads, we will be in a passive position."

Utane Koharu no longer had her usual composure, and Mito Menen kept wiping her glasses, both showing their inner anxiety.

Hiruzen had expressed his intention to pass down the throne before, and at that time it was more of a conspiracy and inducement, but now a Wood Release master has appeared in the Senju clan, and he is the grandson of the first Hokage.

If this news spreads, the position of Hokage will definitely go to Senju.

Whether it is Senju Orange Water, Tsunade, or Rope Tree, they are all very disadvantageous to them.

The prestige that the first generation teacher left in Konoha was so high that it was unimaginable. Even though they had been trying to eliminate his influence over the years, either openly or secretly, and even gave Sarutobi Hiruzen the title of the strongest Hokage, the results were still minimal.

Even if the faction on their side is likely to collapse, the problem is too serious and the rope tree must be removed as soon as possible.

"I have passed the message to Danzo."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was smoking his pipe and feeling very upset.

Putting aside whether Danzo can get rid of Rope Tree, the subsequent impact of destroying Rope Tree alone is difficult to deal with. For some things, a single suspicion is enough for some people to make judgments.

In fact, he had thought about getting rid of Nawaki a long time ago because the Senju clan proposed to let Nawaki be the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, which he would never allow. He had even made arrangements, but unfortunately Nawaki avoided it that time, and made Tsunade and others alert.

The matter was left unresolved afterwards, but fortunately Lord Mito took the overall situation into consideration and did not seal the Nine-Tailed Fox into Rope Tree's body.

But who would have thought that Rope Tree would actually awaken the Wood Release Technique, which was even more fatal.

Even though Nawaki cannot apply Wood Release to the same level as his first teacher, he still has no problem matching the Nine-Tails, and can even restrain it.

Then there is the meaning of Wood Release itself, which is more difficult to deal with.

"Danzo alone may not be enough."

Mito Kado En spoke up and expressed his concern about Danzo's ability to do things, as the last war in the Whirlpool Country was messed up.

"I have arranged additional personnel."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of smoke. He made arrangements as soon as he received the information. He told the two of them now just to cooperate in eliminating the follow-up impact.

"It's good to have an arrangement."

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, but they were still worried.

Rope Tree, who has awakened Wood Release, will inevitably be protected. It is not easy to eliminate him under the protection of the Senju clan, not to mention that there must be no evidence left.

"What we need to pay more attention to now is the Four Kage Talks being held in the Rain Village by the Hidden Cloud Village, the Hidden Rock Village, the Hidden Sand Village, and the Hidden Mist Village. They must be plotting against us."

Sarutobi Hiruzen changed the topic to another matter. They had previously received information that representatives of the four major ninja villages gathered in the Hidden Rain Village, and even the Third Kazekage and the Third Tsuchikage were present in person, which made him very uneasy.

They had all left at that time, but we received information yesterday that the Third Tsuchikage and the Third Kazekage had set out for the Rain Country again.

At the same time, during this period, the Third Tsuchikage and the Third Kazekage collected special metals in the village, including high-quality ninja tools that had already been made.

These are all too unusual, there must be a secret.

“It’s more like a deal.”

Utane Koharu had some guesses, and those guesses were not good.

"I also guess that it is most likely a magic. The Hidden Cloud Village conquered the three holy places and must have inherited their magic. Other ninja villages will definitely be jealous.

But will the Hidden Cloud Village really trade that kind of power?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was not quite sure. He was well aware of the power of the magic. If he obtained the magic, he would definitely not pass it on, let alone pass it on to other ninja villages.

Moreover, according to the information sent back from the Iwagakure Village and the Sand Village, they are only collecting special metals. Does the Kumogakure Village need these?
"Can it break their deal?"

Mito Kado En looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and thought it would be great if he could disrupt the deal between the four major ninja villages.

"That was in the Hidden Rain Village, and there were four Kage-level warriors gathered there, and there was also Ōnoki's Dust Release, unless we can gather all the manpower together to kill them by force."

Shaking his head, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that was impossible.

Now the alliance of the four major ninja villages has the upper hand and dominance. Konoha is too passive, and their strong men are locked up on the battlefields everywhere.

"Can I get Senjutsu from Jiraiya and Orochimaru?"

Utatane Koharu changed her mindset. Since she couldn't stop it, she decided to find a way to obtain the magic herself.

The only ones who can take action now are Jiraiya and Orochimaru, who are the contractors of Myobokusan and Ryuchido.

"I'll find a chance to talk to Orochimaru."

After a long silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally decided to go find that disciple, at least to try out the fairy seal.

The three of them discussed like this until late at night before they dispersed. Sarutobi Hiruzen came back and came to the basement which was set up with layers of barriers. There, a figure was sealed with sealing chains. It was the Second Tsuchikage, or to be more precise, the Impure World Reincarnation of the Second Tsuchikage.

After receiving the preliminary and perfected Impure World Reincarnation from that disciple last time, he set about summoning the Second Tsuchikage.

As for the flesh and blood of the Second Tsuchikage, it was when the Second Tsuchikage brought Ohnoki to Konoha and was stopped and injured by Uchiha Madara. When the Second Tsuchikage went to investigate, he collected some blood and then sealed it.

The second-generation teacher has collected quite a few similar powerful flesh and blood masters.

After he became Hokage, he obtained this sealed inheritance and did not give it to Danzo, so he attached so much importance to the Impure World Reincarnation.

Unfortunately, the Impure World Reincarnation is not perfect yet. It cannot perfectly restore the original strength, nor can it be perfectly controlled, so it is far behind in actual combat.

The sealed Second Tsuchikage simply glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was walking down, without saying a word, but with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

He has been imprisoned here for more than a month. What the other party wants is the fusion secret technique of Dust Escape, but he will never give it to them.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not say anything, just quietly looked at the sealed and bound Second Tsuchikage.

It is impossible to convince him with words. The only solution now is to use illusion. And ordinary illusion will not work. It must be an illusion blessed by the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Moreover, with a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, he can rely on the powerful power of the Mangekyō to forcibly control the Impure World Reincarnation.

There is no need to control too many, just a few shadow-level strongmen will be enough.

But it is not easy to get a pair of kaleidoscopes, you have to wait patiently.

Mingjing seems to be planning a decisive battle, and perhaps we can find an opportunity at that time, but we will have to wait for a while.

Not to mention Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts, on the other side, Shimura Danzo was also very solemn after receiving the information from his good friend.

Although he had acquired Wood Release and had undergone a significant mutation due to the dark chakra, it was obtained through improper means after all.

Once it is used, it will inevitably be criticized, which will be detrimental to the fight for the position of Hokage.

And Nawaki is the grandson of the first Hokage, so it is legitimate for him to awaken Wood Release. In addition to that identity, he will definitely gain a lot of support in the village once the news spreads.

"We have to let the Iwagakure Village attack first."

After a little thought, Danzo Shimura came up with an idea in his mind. He had to let the ninja army of the Iwagakure Village attack first. This way he could take advantage of the situation to eliminate the target and leave fewer traces.

The last war in the Whirlpool Country put him in a very passive position, and he must not make any mistakes this time.

"Orochimaru must not know."

Thinking of that partner again, Danzo Shimura excluded him immediately.

Orochimaru is not only Nawaki's teacher, but also a friend and teammate who grew up with Tsunade, and they have a deep bond.

Now Orochimaru has only semi-broken with Hiruzen, but his relationship with Tsunade is still good. He will definitely not agree to attack Nawaki, and once he knows about it, he will most likely stop it, or even tell Tsunade.

So we must be on guard.

"Are you trading fairy arts?"

His thoughts turned to the Hidden Rain Village. Naturally, he also obtained information about the Four Kage Summit, and he also knew that the representative of the Hidden Cloud Village was the subordinate he favored the most.

It is just not clear at the moment whether a transaction of fairy arts is taking place. Although he obtained the fairy art seal from Orochimaru, he has not yet obtained the true fairy art inheritance.

The power of magic is very strong, and I must get it myself.

"I heard there's news from the teacher again?"

At this moment, a magnetic voice was heard, and Danzo Shimura knew it was Orochimaru without turning his head.

"He asked us to find out the content of the Four Kage Talks as soon as possible and find an opportunity to disrupt it. That's easy to say."

Danzo Shimura sneered and talked about the Four Kage Summit. As for the plan against Nawaki, he naturally could not tell anyone.

"I heard that the representative sent by the Hidden Mist Village this time is likely to be the Three-Tails Jinchuriki. Don't you plan to take it away?"

Orochimaru licked his lips, showing some interest in the tailed beasts.

According to his investigations, the tailed beasts seemed to have some connection with the Six Paths Sage, so he wanted to catch one of them to study. "Don't do it now. The eastern front is the most stable among all the fronts. If the Hidden Mist Village is provoked, they will definitely send more troops to attack. Once the front over there is breached, we won't be in a good situation here either."

Danzo Shimura was also somewhat tempted, but ultimately rejected the idea.

What he wanted was to become Hokage. Only by becoming Hokage could he make more plans, even destroy all the ninja villages and unify the ninja world.

But his real confidence comes from the dark power of the Box of Bliss and the Sage Bloodline Fusion Plan. Once successful, he will have power that surpasses the first generation teacher.

At that time, no one in the entire ninja world would be able to resist me, so now I have to focus on stability.

Not to mention the plans outside, in the Hidden Cloud Village, Tamura Hao continued to adapt to the ability to float in the air and integrated it into his own combat system, and his speed was indeed greatly improved.

Of course, just movement speed.

On the appointed day, he carved out a complicated spell formation in an empty room.

Hanzo, whose injuries had been initially healed, walked in and sat in the center. Following Tamura Hao's instructions, he used chakra to circulate imprints on the ritual formation diagram, creating his own ritual formation diagram, and then wrapped the blood as a medium and sealed it in his abdomen at the navel position.

This is the best place to seal the immortal spell. The future Orochi Kabuto will be like this. Then a white snake will extend from his abdomen to help him maintain the immortal mode for a long time.

Not long after the magic spell was sealed, it began to work and began to corrode Hanzo's body. At the same time, a white-scaled snake grew out of his abdomen.

The cold fairy chakra flowed through his body, and white snake scales also covered Hanzo's body, greatly improving his physical fitness.

Although this alienation reaction cannot amplify ninjutsu, it greatly increases physical skills, and is no less effective than the perfect Sage Mode.

Even the previous injuries were further recovered. After all, the fairy chakra itself can activate the body's cells, and all aspects of the function will be improved, including recovery ability.

The erosion process was naturally not very friendly. Even with Hanzo's willpower, he almost couldn't help but scream out loud. He felt as if every cell in his body was being torn and crushed.

But even so, he still followed the boy's instructions to refine chakra to resist the erosion of the fairy seal, and integrated his own chakra into it to gain a certain degree of control.

This lasted for more than an hour before the power of the magic seal stabilized. Hanzo seemed to be pulled out of the water, his pants were soaked with sweat, but there was a strong look in his eyes, and he obviously felt the improvement of the magic seal.

"It's worthy of being called a magic technique!"

Hanzo couldn't help but sigh, and was even more excited.

I finally obtained the power of immortal arts. Although it is only a semi-finished product, it is enough to get started.

Moreover, the change of this magic spell gave him an idea, which was to take out the salamander poison sac in his body and transplant it into the body of the white snake with the magic spell. In this way, he would not have to worry about self-poisoning.

"The erosion of the Immortal Art Curse Seal is continuous. When Senior Hanzo is maintaining the Immortal Art Curse Seal, he must maintain strong enough chakra to resist the deep erosion of the transplant. Otherwise, once his own chakra is suppressed by the power of the Immortal Art Curse Seal, it will be troublesome.

Only by truly cultivating into the Sage Mode can one avoid this alienated erosion. The original intention of creating this Sage Art Curse was to replace the medium of Longdi Cave for practicing Sage Arts. Combat is only secondary. "

Tamura Hao reminded that this alienated improvement is a double-edged sword and must be controlled well.

"It's normal for shortcuts to have hidden dangers."

Hanzo said he could understand, as this had been mentioned before.

Moreover, compared with the life-threatening training medium of Longdi Cave in the immortal arts inheritance, this immortal arts curse is much milder.

Furthermore, with the help of this magic spell, he could indeed sense the existence of natural energy, which was the basis of practicing magic.

In the past, I couldn't even sense it, let alone attract, absorb and fuse it into fairy chakra.

"This is a special metal I prepared, many of which are spoils of war I obtained previously."

After confirming that there was no problem with the magic seal, Hanzo took out a sealing scroll he had brought with him. Inside was a total of half a cubic meter of special metal, most of which were finished, high-quality ninja tools.

Ninja tools are generally made of steel, but high-quality ninja tools are mixed with special metals to increase their hardness and sharpness.

Some top-level ninja tools also incorporate chakra-conducting metals, such as his own sickle.

I have fought countless battles, big and small, along the way, so naturally there is a lot of spoils.

"Happy Trading!"

Taking the scroll, Tamura Hao smiled.

"I still need to go back and adapt to the power of this immortal spell."

Hanzo didn't stay long and got up to leave, wanting to immediately experiment with the power of this magical seal.

At least understand the detailed improvement so that you can better control it when using it in battle in the future.

Don't rush directly into the opponent's kunai because you don't have perfect control and burst out too much. That would be ridiculous.

In addition, we must try to develop the power of the blood medium to see if we can obtain the ability to levitate and become invisible, as well as the toxin that can create illusion effects.

These all require exploration and experimentation.

While walking, he suddenly glanced at a puddle on the ground and the side. Hanzo didn't care and left quickly.

After Hanzo left, a head popped out from the puddle. It was none other than the wild bait man.

A head also poked out from the land next to it, and it was made of yellow earth.

"He found us!"

The wild bait man was incredible. As far as he knew, Hanzo seemed to have no perception ability. Plus, the distance was so far that it was impossible for him to be discovered.

"That seems to be the immortal spell seal mentioned in the intelligence. Hanzo really made a deal with him."

Huangtu paid more attention to the big white snake that just came out of Hanzo's stomach. Although it was in the wrong position and the number was not large, it was obviously also a kind of fairy spell.

The fact that Hanzo was able to discover them hiding just now may be related to the immortal curse seal he obtained.

"Where is Ye Cang hiding?"

Tongcao Yebairen looked around but didn't see Ye Cang, which made him quite confused.

The three of them were left with the same mission, and they had even communicated with each other before. It must be no simple matter that Hanzo suddenly came to find that person this time. Logically, Ye Cang should have noticed it.

"That woman has been acting strangely these days. I don't know what she is doing in the room."

Huang Tu muttered something, and then his head sank into the ground.

Since it has been confirmed that Hanzo has obtained the immortal seal from that person, there is naturally no need to stay any longer. Besides, his father will arrive tomorrow, which is also the agreed transaction time.

Tongcao Yebairen did not stay for long, and at the same time he was thinking about how to tell the information to Gotachibana Yagura who was coming tomorrow.

Although Karutagi Yagura is young, he is a genius and the Three-Tails Jinchuriki. He is now a real Kage-level powerhouse and a disciple of the Sandaime. That's why he became the representative of the Four Kage Summit this time. He is the one in charge of this meeting and he is just an assistant.

What the two of them didn't know was that Ye Cang did notice Hanzo's unusual behavior, but ignored it. She was now concentrating on practicing the Rasengan.

This Unmarried Ninjutsu must be perfectly mastered before that pervert leaves. As for the intelligence gathering, just ask that pervert at night. There is no need to waste time and take risks on this.

"The Fire Style Rasengan is still easier to master."

Looking at the Fire Style Rasengan in his hand, Ye Cang was quite troubled by the Wind Style Rasengan.

Although Wind Style is most suitable for Rasengan and has the strongest power, it is also the most difficult to control.

The wind-attribute chakra was rotated to that extent, and even the owner of the chakra could hardly avoid being cut.

It's not just an external injury, but it acts on the cellular level and may even damage the meridians and acupoints. If you're not careful, your arm may be disabled.

In comparison, the Fire Style Rasengan is less powerful, but it is much easier to control.

Even so, the power of this Fire Style Rasengan has reached the level of S-level ninjutsu. It is only this powerful after the fusion of his five Scorch Style fireballs.

Moreover, this Rasengan can increase its size by increasing the injection of chakra, thereby improving its power, and its potential is much higher.

"It consumes too much energy. I'm afraid only people like the Uzumaki clan can use it well."

Feeling that one third of the chakra in his body had been consumed, Ye Cang was quite depressed.

This ninjutsu is very powerful, but it also consumes a lot of energy. I am not a ninja with huge chakra, so it is very difficult for me to use it.

Fortunately, this kind of unmarked ninjutsu can be maintained all the time, and the energy consumption is not too high. It is also good to use chakra lines to control the battle.

"Give up, you little pervert!"

As he thought about it, Ye Cang couldn't help but think of that perverted kid, and he snorted.

She will use this Ninja World War to become a high-ranking official in the village. Don't think of using sinister schemes to make me surrender.

I will never go to the Hidden Cloud Village with you. It would be better if you were the one to marry into my family.
