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

Chapter 197 Sarutobi Sasuke
In response to Hanzo's question, the three kids fell into deep thought. Yahiko, the leader of the three, thought for a while and then spoke.

"Brother Hao said that the Rain Country is a crying country. I want to change the Rain Country so that it will no longer cry."

This answer surprised Hanzo a little. He could hear the little boy's seriousness from it, and also saw that the child had certain leadership qualities.

Without giving any comment, Hanzo looked at the other two.

"I hope there won't be any more orphans like me."

Konan was the second to speak. Her thoughts were simple, not as big as Yahiko's. She just hoped that there would be no more orphans like her.

Hanzo also remained silent, but there was a hint of relief on his face.

He was actually more optimistic about this little girl, as she possessed the secret art of origami and had also practiced sickle-blade techniques, both of which were exactly what he was good at.

Although he doesn't have the secret art of origami, he is very good at using detonating talismans. This child can just inherit his mantle.

"I don't want my friend to get hurt again."

Uzumaki Nagato finally gave an answer. His idea was simpler, he just didn't want his relatives and friends to be hurt again.

"Remember your words today and never forget them!"

Hanzo still did not give any comment, but seriously reminded the three to remember today's words, because this would be their future ninja way.

As a ninja, you are bound to face many things in the future, including laughter and sadness. If you don't have a ninja way to strengthen yourself, it will be easy to get lost.

"Yes, teacher, we will always remember it."

The three kids were overjoyed and quickly made promises. They knew that they had passed Master Hanzo's test and would be his disciples from now on.

"Brother Hao?"

Sanxiao was just about to turn around and thank Tiancun Hao, but found that he had disappeared without him noticing.

"He left yesterday. He just left behind a shadow clone, but he left a gift for you."

Hanzo spoke, and then took out a sealed scroll from the ninja tool bag and unfolded it, revealing two scrolls and two exquisite sickles.

"This one is part of the Uzumaki Sealing Technique, this one is the Five Elements Ninjutsu and some Genjutsu and Medical Ninjutsu, and these two Soul Separation Hooks are for Konan."

"Brother Hao!"

The three little ones were very touched. Brother Hao was so good to them.

Not to mention Sanxiao, even Hanzo was shocked by this generous gesture.

There is no need to talk about the ninjutsu scroll. Although the highest level is only B, there are a lot of them and they are all very practical. It also records the practice of various changes in the properties of chakra, especially the changes in the properties of lightning.

Their medical ninjutsu and illusion techniques were also very good, and they even had palm techniques, which were exactly what their Hidden Rain Village urgently needed.

The Uzumaki Sealing Technique is even more precious. Even if only a part of it is here, it is enough to make Uzumaki Nagato a powerful sealer. If used well, even the tailed beasts can be suppressed and bound.

Those two sickles were not simple either. They were both top-notch supreme artifacts, better than the one he had before.

With these three gifts, the three little guys will surely achieve greater success in the future, and the future of their Hidden Rain Village will also be better.

Not to mention how things developed here, on the other side, Tamura Hao had already met up with Black Zetsu. Because the Iwagakure Ninja Army suddenly went to war with the Konoha Ninja Army, the opportunity they had been waiting for had come.

He casually sealed the Konoha ninja that Black Zetsu was attached to into a sealed space to be devoured by the Ten-Tails.

Then, with the help of the power of the Ten-Tails, he transformed himself into the other party's appearance, and even his chakra was transformed, which was derived from White Zetsu's camouflage ability.

Black Zetsu then spread over and attached himself to the vest.

Tamura Hao asked as he walked towards the Konoha camp.

"Have you discovered the methods of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo?"

"Shimura Danzo provoked this battle. Sarutobi Hiruzen used a person he bribed from the Senju clan and sent 100,000 detonating tags. He probably wanted to use them to blow up Nawaki."

Hei Zetsu chuckled. He had been keeping a close watch on these people and was well aware of their plans.

"Oh, how cruel!"

Smacking his lips, Tamura Hao thought to himself that Sarutobi Hiruzen was indeed more difficult to deal with, and his methods were more vicious and covert.

"How did he bribe him? Can he do such a thing?"

Under the current situation, that pawn dares to do such a thing?

"It looks like they have caught something."

Hei Jue was not very clear about this, and he was not interested in paying attention to such trivial matters.

"Does Madara know about Uzumaki Nagato's change?"

Tamura Hao didn't care about it and turned to ask Uchiha Madara.

"I asked a White Zetsu to tell him, but Madara didn't care. He was still confident in his own strength, especially after he got the Impure World Reincarnation. He thought it was a backup plan that would allow him to burst out with strength close to his peak, and any accidents could be corrected."

"The Impure World Reincarnation of Uchiha Madara is indeed not to be underestimated."

Tamura Hao deeply agrees with this. After the Impure World Reincarnation, Uchiha Madara can not only use the power of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, but also the power of the Rinnegan. Coupled with the infinite chakra of the Impure World Reincarnation, he is still invincible in today's ninja world.

"You gave the senjutsu to Shimura Danzo?"

Black Zetsu suddenly asked about the plan against Shimura Danzo, who was also an important chess piece.

"The trust of Danzo-sama must be maintained."

Nodding, after completing the transaction with Ohnoki and the others, Tamura Hao took the opportunity to summon the immortal arts inheritance with the original blood and sent it to Lord Danzo.

We can't wait for Lord Danzo to send someone to ask for it. We have to deliver it over on our own initiative. This is the only way to demonstrate our loyalty.

"I wonder if Shimura Danzo will be so angry that he will come back to life after knowing your true feelings in the future."

Black Zetsu couldn't help but feel a little pity for Shimura Danzo. The Hidden Cloud Village was plotting against Shimura Danzo, and his own brother was also plotting against them, and his plot was even more cruel and profound.

"That won't happen. Your soul will be devoured by the Black Lotus of Destruction, and you won't even have a chance to be reborn."

Tamura Hao had a determined look on his face. This was the ending he had set for Lord Danzo. It was enough to destroy Lord Danzo's body and soul, without leaving even a trace of him.

Then, he, Tamura Hiten, will use the world-destroying black lotus created by Lord Danzo to unify the world and fulfill Lord Danzo's last wish.

"By the way, how is the cultivation of the World-Destroying Black Lotus going?"

He then asked about the cultivation of the World-Destroying Black Lotus, which was also a major focus.

"It has blossomed and is absorbing the power of the wreckage, but its potential is limited. It needs to devour some of the Outer Path Demon Statue and the Tailed Beast Chakra to reach the level of bearing the evil of this world. It also needs the assistance of the Samsara Eye to complete the final transformation."

Black Zetsu attached equal importance to that, and after getting the lotus seeds from the Fire Temple, he took them over to cultivate, but a lot of planning was still needed to complete the final transformation.

Tamura Hao jumped and ran between the trees while communicating with Black Zetsu, and finally arrived at the Konoha camp.

Because he gained the other party's memory during the devouring process and was able to match various secret codes, he was able to sneak into the Konoha camp very smoothly.

Instead of going to the central area where the rope tree was, he found a place to hide and waited quietly for Sarutobi Hiruzen, the chess piece, to make his move.

The Eight Thousand Spear Seal that was made for Senju Nawaki was not simple. It also contained a Flying Thunder God technique, which could use the chakra of the Eight Thousand Spear Seal to stimulate teleportation, and the location was right here.

As long as the Senju Rope Tree suffers severe damage, the power in the imprint will be triggered, and then the Flying Thunder God technique will be activated for teleportation.

Not to mention teleporting the Thousand Hands Rope Tree intact, at least his head can be saved.

Anyway, the more seriously injured Rope Tree is this time, the more devastated Tsunade will be when she sees it in the future, and the more she will hate the Third Hokage and Konoha.

Even if the First and Second Hokage were resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation in the future, it would be impossible to persuade them.

Not to mention Mr. Tian who was hiding here, on the other side, Senju Huangshui, who was secretly threatened and bribed by Sarutobi Hiruzen, used the transformation technique to change into the appearance of another tribe member, carrying a big lunch box, and finally came to the location of the rope tree.

Although Senju Orange Water and Tsunade led the main force of the ninja army in the camp to the front line to fight with the Iwagakure ninja army, they still made arrangements and equipped Rope Tree with two senior ninja teams and a Kage-level elder for protection.

With such a lineup, even if a Kage-level expert came to launch a sneak attack, he would not be able to hurt Rope Tree.

At the same time, the clan elder Senju Goma was also responsible for teaching Nawashu Wood Release, because he was the cousin of the First Hokage, and had followed the First Hokage in battles, so he was very familiar with Wood Release and could just guide Nawashu in practicing Wood Release, but his progress in practice was not ideal.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with this Wood Release? How can one seal release so many ninjutsu?"

Rope Tree was going crazy. His grandfather's Wood Release Ninjutsu was too weird. All the Wood Release Ninjutsu were the same seal. He just clasped his hands together and shouted and used the Wood Release Ninjutsu.

Although the chakra's flow through the body's meridians is coordinated, this method of forming seals is really weird and incomprehensible.

"That's how your grandfather used Wood Release."

Senju Goma could understand why Rope Tree was so mad. He was also quite confused about this matter back then and really couldn't understand the way his cousin made hand seals.

It even felt like my cousin could use Wood Release Ninjutsu without even making any hand seals, which was completely beyond common sense.

Fortunately, cousin Tobirama analyzed the Wood Release Ninjutsu. Although the strange hand seal could not be changed, the internal chakra circulation could be understood.

"Brother Huang Shui, why are you the one delivering food today? Where is Brother Cheng?"

Sheng Shu, who was going crazy, heard the noise, turned his head and found that it was his cousin Qianshou Huangshui. He was stunned when he saw the familiar food box in the other's hand.

Before, I had been delivering meals to Senju Castle. Ever since I awakened Wood Release, I had been arranged to stay here by my brother and sister Orange Water. I had to eat, drink, defecate and urinate here and was not allowed to go out. All meals were delivered to me.

"Iwagakure suddenly attacked us, and Cheng and the main force went to the front line. I was left behind because my arm injury had not yet recovered."

Senju Huangshui, who had released his transformation jutsu when he arrived, said this while placing the food box on the table.

When everyone looked, they found that Qianshou Huangshui's arms were wrapped in medical bandages, with a faint smell of medicine, and there was a bandage hanging around his neck.

An arm injury is indeed very serious for a ninja, as it means that he cannot cast a seal to release a ninjutsu. No one thought much about this, and Senju Huangshui is a direct descendant of the family, so there is no way he will have any problems.

The two teams on guard also came over, took out the food from the lunch boxes, put it on the table, and picked up the chopsticks to eat.

Qianshou Huangshui also sat down and clumsily picked up the chopsticks with his left hand to eat, looking very natural.

Everyone ate very quickly and the food was gone before long, but someone soon noticed something was wrong.

"Stop, there's something wrong with this food."

The most powerful Senju Goma suddenly spoke, and everyone else was stunned.

At the same time, Qianshou Huangshui took out the sealing scroll he brought with the help of the table and unfolded it, gushing out countless detonating talismans, which he ignited and activated immediately.

Before anyone could react, the horrific explosion and flames swept through everything, engulfing everyone.

Even Senju Goma, who was the first to react, wanted to refine chakra and perform ninjutsu to resist, but he was unable to do so. This was mainly because he was affected by the poison and his body was paralyzed. It was very difficult for him to refine chakra, and his body was instantly engulfed by flames.

It’s not that they are not strong enough, but it was too sudden and unexpected.

They didn't expect that someone from the same tribe would suddenly kill them, and they were completely unprepared.

Coupled with the influence of the poison, his reaction was a little slow, which led to his death.

On the other side, Qianshou Huangshui, who was dealing with the corpse of Qianshou Cheng, looked at the flames of the explosion and also received the memories sent back by the shadow clone. He felt very complicated.

"Don't blame me, I was forced to do it."

Muttering to himself, Qianshou Huangshui continued to deal with the scene.

He killed Qianshou Cheng who had been delivering food there, and took advantage of this battle to replace them, took the opportunity to get close, used his own identity to poison them, and then killed everything with an explosive talisman.

Now all we need to do is deal with the bodies in Qianshou City and erase all traces here, and no one will think of ourselves.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen now has another handle on me, and I have to be careful that the old guy might kill me to silence me.

While thinking about this, his body suddenly stiffened. Senju Huangshui looked at the tip of the ninja sword sticking out from his heart and turned his head in disbelief to see who had done it.

He could guess that it must be Sarutobi Hiruzen who sent people to kill and silence the witnesses, but he didn't expect that the other party would act so quickly and so ruthlessly.

But before he could turn his head, an ice-cold kunai pierced his eye socket into his brain, killing him instantly.

The visitor said nothing as he dealt with the corpse and sealed it in a sealing scroll.

Then a coffin emerged from behind him. He stepped back into the coffin and was carried into the ground by the coffin, leaving no trace.

When he was summoned out again, he was in a basement, and opposite him was Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Father!"

Looking at his father walking out of the coffin, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression was solemn.

That's right, he resurrected his father Sarutobi Sasuke through the Impure World Reincarnation to help him complete his plan.

This is the only person he can trust and who is strong enough. He also uses an elite jonin as a sacrifice carrier so that his father can exert strength close to that of his lifetime.

"This incident is bound to anger the Thousand Hands. You must be prepared."

Sarutobi Sasuke handed the scroll that sealed the corpse to his son. Since it was for the sake of his family and his own descendants, he would not hesitate at all to do these things.

But what I have done is far from enough, more planning is needed.

"I'll plan it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took the scroll and nodded solemnly.

"I'm going to the battlefield of Yu no Kuni to keep an eye on the Uchiha."

After saying this, Sarutobi Sasuke walked towards a passage at the side to prepare the Mangekyō Sharingan for his son.

"Teacher, I'm sorry, I have no choice!"

Looking at the scroll in his hand, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, then turned and left.

Not to mention Sarutobi Hiruzen who had completed the murder and silenced the witness, on the other side Tamura Hao was performing surgery on Rope Tree.

The end of Rope Tree was more miserable than expected. It was originally thought that at most his limbs and internal organs would be blown off, leaving only the torso. However, who would have thought that in the end, only a head was sent by Flying Thunder God, most of his face was severely burned, and one of his eyes was burned.

Fortunately, a large amount of vitality was injected into its body at the beginning, so that its brain cells remain active. In addition, some methods obtained from the Evil God Cult were used to stabilize Rope Tree's soul.

As for the head, it is temporarily grafted onto the body of a spore White Zetsu, just like the future Uchiha Obito, to save his life.

Although Rope Tree's injuries were much more serious than Uchiha Obito's, fortunately he was a member of the Senju clan and had awakened Wood Release, which made him more compatible with Spore White Zetsu and allowed them to fusion better.

Plus with the sufficient blessing of Grayl's energy, it is enough to save his life.

Of course, the previous explosion caused a concussion, and Rope Tree is now in a coma.

After making sure that Rope Tree was in a stable condition, Tamura Hao sensed the Flying Thunder God technique left outside and used the chakra of the Ten-Tails to cast the technique and leave.

All we need to do next is wait for the right opportunity. When Sarutobi Hiruzen attacks the Senju clan, we can come and poach people.

Instead of taking the land route, they headed north through the Iron Kingdom and out to the sea, then rushed across the sea straight to the Hot Spring Kingdom front camp.

He first returned to his residence to take out the rope tree soaked in the nutrient tank and handed it over to Uzumaki Kushina and Uzumaki Vanilla for care.

"Why did Brother Shengshu become like this?"

Seeing the miserable state of Sheng Shu, both women were very angry and worried.

Although I didn't have much contact with Nawaki in Konoha at the beginning, I had a good impression of this silly little brother.

And now Brother Shengshu has been injured like this, who did it?
Tamura Hao did not answer immediately. He used the chakra of the Ten-Tails to stimulate the Eight Thousand Spear Seal to awaken Nawaki's consciousness.

"It hurts!"

When Senju Shengshu woke up, his face was distorted with pain, mainly on his face, and he seemed to have no feeling in his body.

"Wake up, can you see anyone?"

Tian Cun Hao Tian Cun Hao waved his hand in front of the boy. He had no idea about the boy's current situation.

"You despicable bastard!"

After recovering a little, Sheng Shu saw that hideous face and was instantly annoyed and frightened.

Back then, I was severely bullied by this bastard in the clan territory using training, and my sister didn't help me.

How abominable!

"It seems that he is conscious."

Tian Cun Hao breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he was conscious.

"Why are you in our camp? Kushina and Vanilla are here too, but where's your sister?"

Nawaki saw Kushina and Vanilla beside him and was very confused, not understanding why the three of them were here.

The relationship between Konoha and the Hidden Cloud Village is hostile.

"Don't you have any recollection of what happened before?"

Tamura Hao asked, guiding Nawaki to recall what happened before he fell into a coma.

He only knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen sent people to assassinate him, but he had no idea how he did it specifically, so he had to remember it himself.

"It was Huang Shui. He poisoned us and used an explosive talisman to harm us."

Sheng Shu was stunned for a moment, then recalled what happened before he fell into a coma.

It was Qianshou Huangshui who harmed himself, but why did he do that?
“It’s so simple, but so effective.”

Tiancun Hao understood, and immediately walked to the bathroom, took down the mirror and placed it in front of Nawaki.

"When I found you, only your head was left. Then I gave you emergency treatment to save your life for the time being."

"this is me?"

Looking at the image in the mirror, Sheng Shu was stunned.

I saw my head reflected in the mirror. Most of the skin was burned and covered with some kind of ointment. Below the neck was a pale lump of flesh, only slightly larger than my head.

Is this you?

"You planned this, didn't you?"

Uzumaki Kushina realized that this must be the plan of the big villain.

"I used the First Hokage's chakra to help you awaken Wood Release before. At that time, I knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others would not be able to sit still and would definitely look for a chance to assassinate you.

Then you hide in the dark and wait, until the other party finally takes action and brings back your head.

Don't worry, our medical skills are very advanced, and we are currently researching the cloning and regeneration of limbs and organs. It won't be long before we can cultivate a body for you."

Tamura Hao did not deny it and comforted the dazed boy.

Uchiha Guang couldn't help but roll his eyes after hearing this. This bad guy is not behaving like a human being again.
