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

Chapter 203 Sarutobi's trump card
Tian Cun Hao, who was fighting with a snake immortal, immediately abandoned his opponent and rushed to the side of the white snake immortal, using sealing techniques to seal the space.

The ten tails of Little Tenwei immediately wrapped around it, and opened its bloody mouth to bite and devour it.

Princess Kaguya, standing on the head of the Ten-Tails, also used her own power to suppress the White Snake Sage's spiritual consciousness, making it impossible for him to resist.

"The Goddess of Mao!"

Seeing Kaguya in loli form, the White Snake Sage was terrified, especially with the presence of the Ten-Tails, which made her even more desperate.

This was the shadow of her childhood, an extremely terrifying existence.

She never imagined that the human actually contained the Goddess of the Rabbit and the Ten Tails in his body. Weren't these two sealed by the Six Paths Sage?

what happened?

The White Snake Fairy regretted her decision. If she had known that there was such a terrifying existence here, she would never have come here even if she was beaten to death.

Unfortunately, it was too late to regret now. Not long after, the White Snake Sage was completely devoured by the Ten-Tails. Even his soul was swallowed up and refined by the huge amount of chakra.

Tamura Hao used Kaguya's Byakugan and Sharingan to observe carefully to prevent any little white snakes from separating and escaping into the ground.

The Third Raikage went straight towards the three snake immortals. He was no match for the White Snake Immortal and could only fight with him, but it was not difficult for him to fight against the three snake immortals.

But the three snake immortals were so frightened when they saw the white snake immortal's body was broken by the horrific attack that they dared not continue fighting and chose a direction to escape.

However, their speed was far inferior to that of the Third Raikage, and they were also entangled by Yeyue Ai, Fukai, and a group of powerful Cloud Ninjas, so they could not escape at all.

After completing the inspection on the White Snake Immortal's side and making sure that there was nothing missed, Tian Cun Hao also rushed towards a Snake Immortal without any mercy and swung his sword to chop.

If it was a snake spirit from another world, as long as it was of use he would consider becoming a grass python hero, but forget it about the snake spirits in this world.

Tian Xinshen Ji, who was targeted by Tian Cun Hao, was so angry that she even thought of dying together with him. Unfortunately, the young man was too cunning and did not give her any chance to get involved.

On the other side, the Third Raikage was more efficient. He had already stabbed a snake hermit with two buns. The black lightning of his magic made him twitch. Uzumaki Kushina's Diamond Seal followed up and sealed him temporarily.

These three snake immortals are different from the white snake immortal. They have devoured many ninjas who went to Ryuchi Cave to practice immortal arts, and their bodies have long been eroded by chakra.

Since there is chakra, it can be restrained by the Diamond Seal, at least a short-term seal will not be a problem.

Immediately afterwards, Tamura Hao, with the cooperation of several elite Cloud Ninja jonin, also killed Tian Xin Shen Ji, and directly sealed her into a sealed space to be eaten by the Ten-Tails.

The last snake immortal could not hold on for long and died under Yeyue Ai's Murunqiri, and was sealed and devoured by Tamura Hao.

Xinya, who was not far away, was also chopped off by Uchiha Guang's Susanoo. Even though Xinya entered a rampage state and his strength increased dramatically, he was still unable to withstand the sharpness of the sword of Ame Murakumo.

It was that petrification ability that caused some trouble to Uchiha Hikaru, and part of his Susanoo was petrified.

The Konoha ninjas, who had originally still had some hope, fell into despair again when they saw the two giant snakes being killed by the Hidden Cloud Village, and some even knelt on the ground in surrender.

The Cloud Ninjas showed no mercy to these Konoha ninjas. Even those who knelt down to surrender would have their tendons cut to prevent them from attacking again.

Ye Yue Ai and his companions, who had some free time, were very happy to see the Konoha captives. They were all excellent materials for the evil god ritual... no, they were volunteers.

Although a lot of ninjas were captured from the Sky Ninja Village last time, there were not many Jonins, and the only one at the Kage level was the Sky Ninja leader.

They need more powerful people to perfect the evil god ritual, and now these Konoha ninjas just fill this gap.

In this way, the evil god ritual will surely be perfected to a perfect level, and then it can begin to be popularized in the village to a certain extent.

As for Uchiha Fugaku, he had already fled with Orochimaru.

Orochimaru had already prepared a retreat before coming, and now he was just taking one more person with him.

Hatake Sakumo, who had already run away with a hundred people, looked back at the direction of the battlefield with extremely complicated feelings.

The one hundred Konoha ninjas who followed ran out were even more surviving, their legs were still trembling, and they were gasping for breath.

They were not the elite in the ninja army, but they saw that the men gathered by Lord White Fang were not attacked by the Cloud Ninja, so they followed them, ran all the way out of the battlefield, and saved their lives.

"Master White Fang, what should we do now?"

A jonin asked in a low voice, and everyone turned their eyes to look at Hatake Sakumo, then at the unconscious Uchiha Mingjing on his back, waiting for orders.

The defeat in this battle made them extremely disappointed in their commander, but their lives were saved by Lord White Fang, so now they can only listen to him.

"Withdraw from the Land of Hot Springs and establish a new line of defense at Fuji River, 500 kilometers outside the border."

White Fang thought for a while and chose a location.

"Master White Fang, this..."

Everyone was shocked. You know, the last line of defense they built was only on the border. Now White Fang wanted to abandon all the current defense lines and retreat 500 kilometers, which was equivalent to handing over 500 kilometers of territory to the Hidden Cloud Village.

"Follow the order, and I will bear all the consequences."

Hatake Sakumo said sternly, indicating that this was an order. Seeing that everyone was still hesitating, he could only helplessly explain: "We only have a hundred people. Even if we gather the people guarding the back lines of defense, there will be no more than three hundred. We can't fight against the Cloud Ninja at all.

This time we launched a surprise attack first, so the Cloud Ninjas will surely be angry and will retaliate and counterattack. We must not confront them head-on.

It is better to have some defense than to lose control completely and be beaten all the way to the village by the Cloud Ninja. Also, be careful not to leak the information of this battle, otherwise you will be punished by military law."

After hearing this, all the Konoha ninjas fell silent, knowing that the battle was not over yet.

They were the ones who started this war, but when it ends is not decided by them, but by the Cloud Ninjas.

I hope the Hidden Cloud Village won’t be too greedy!

The facts were indeed as Hatake Sakumo had expected. The Kumogakure Ninja Army set out to advance at dawn and pushed all the way to the north bank of the Fujino River.

The terrain on both sides of the Fuji River is dangerous, which is very suitable for building fortifications. In addition, the Fuji River itself is wide, making it a very easy to defend and difficult to attack terrain.

This is also the main reason why White Fang chose to establish a new line of defense here. He believed that the Kumogakure ninjas would stop here.

There is no way that the Hidden Cloud Country and the Land of Lightning can conquer Konoha and the Land of Fire. If they really go too far, they will inevitably suffer crazy revenge.

Judging from the performance of the Hidden Cloud Village in this Ninja World War, it will definitely focus on stability.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and others who were in charge of Konoha were shocked when they heard the battle report. They immediately sent people to bring back Uchiha Mingjing, whose eyes had been gouged out, and inquired about the details of the battle.

At the same time, send people from the village to support White Fang. We must not let the Hidden Cloud Village advance any further.

"Our battle plan was leaked, and we were tricked by the Hidden Cloud Village."

Uchiha Mingjing, who was brought back, didn't waste much time and pointed out the main reason for the failure.

From the situation of that battle, it was obvious that the Hidden Cloud Village was waiting for them to attack, and they even used illusions to hold them back and arranged for people to dig out their eyes at the same time, targeting their tactics.

This was obviously caused by the complete leakage of the battle plan. It was impossible for the family to do this, after all, all the senior leaders had their eyes gouged out, even Fugaku, who he had always been wary of, had his eyes gouged out, and was eventually forced to use Wood Release and the power of the Seven-Tails.

So it must be the information leaked by someone else. Not many people can get their combat intelligence, which makes him have to suspect certain people.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other two heard this, the first thing they thought of was that old friend. Why was Danzo still so clumsy in doing things?

The three of them were now in an awkward situation. Last time, it was Shimura Danzo who leaked the detailed information of the Uchiha top leaders. Now another incident happened, which not only killed the Uchiha's elite troops, but also took away thousands of ninja soldiers.

Danzo was really too cruel and didn't consider the overall situation at all.

"Dingjing..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to explain, but Uchiha Mingjing was completely disheartened and just wanted to go home.

"Hokage-sama, I'm tired and want to go back to rest. I don't know about Fugaku's affairs, but maybe the clan leader knows. You can go ask him."

After saying that, without waiting for Sarutobi Hiruzen to respond, he stood up, leaned on a wooden stick and groped his way out of the Hokage's office.

He was really tired, not only because of the betrayal and the loss of his eyes, but also because of the loss of Zhili.

It had been agreed that after this war, I would come back to get married, and even leave my family and village.

But now he is alone, and he feels that all his previous efforts were a joke.

This attitude made Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other two frown, but they didn't say much.

After Uchiha Mingjing left, the three of them were troubled.

"Huruzen, why don't you try to persuade Danzo? He is so blunt in doing things that it's very difficult for us to do anything."

Koharu Utane couldn't help but complain that her old friend had done such a rough job that they didn't know how to end it.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said nothing, just smoked his pipe.

He couldn't say it because it was already agreed upon before.

Danzo was responsible for doing the dirty work that could not be seen in public, and they were responsible for cleaning up the mess. Although Danzo was a bit cruel this time, he did wipe out all the elite troops of the Uchiha.

It is unrealistic to expect others to do everything perfectly. After all, the conditions are what they are and you can't ask for too much.

Moreover, this time they didn't leave any clear evidence. Even Uchiha Mingjing was just suspicious but had no concrete evidence.

Mitomon En knew that he couldn't blame Shimura Danzo for this kind of thing, so he changed the subject.

"What about Uchiha Fugaku?"

He had been shocked when he read the letter sent back by Hatake Sakumo. He never expected that Uchiha Fugaku had obtained the cells of the first generation and acquired the Wood Release. Even the one who destroyed the Takigakure Village and stole the Seven-Tails was Uchiha Fugaku.

Hidden too deeply.

If Danzo had not planned against Uchiha in advance this time, it is unknown how long Uchiha Fugaku would have hidden. He would definitely give them a ruthless blow at the critical moment.

"The Uchiha cannot come into contact with the cells of the first Sensei. The problem should be with Orochimaru and Danzo. It is also possible that the Senju side is also the problem."

After taking a puff of cigarette, Sarutobi Hiruzen had a worse guess.

There are only three parties who possess the first generation cells, Orochimaru and Danzo, and there must be some survivors on the Senju side. All three parties are likely to trade with Uchiha Fugaku.

"Fortunately, the Hidden Cloud Village dug out Uchiha Fugaku's eyes. His strength will definitely be greatly reduced, and the threat to us will be much smaller."

Utane Koharu was quite thankful, as he was more wary and cautious of the Uchiha compared to the Hidden Cloud Village.

"According to the intelligence sent back by our people there, Hatake Sakumo's strength is much stronger than we know, and his chakra capacity is also extremely large. He must have ulterior motives in hiding his strength, and he is not as simple as he usually appears."

Mizuto Menyan spoke of another piece of information with a serious expression. This act of hiding one's strength made them very alert.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen looked more solemn and even fearful.

Hatake Sakumo was already very strong, and he used to be able to suppress the enemy with the cooperation of Ono-ma. But after losing Ono-ma, he no longer had the confidence to suppress him, and he might even be defeated if he was approached by him.

And Hatake Sakumo has hidden his strength. If he unleashes all of it, I will definitely not be his opponent.

These young people are so patient and so good at hiding. If Danzo hadn't done this, they wouldn't have known it.

“Don’t worry about Sakumo for now, his strength is still needed on the northern front.

The key now is to deal with the Kumo Ninja who have invaded the country. The envoys from the Daimyo Prefecture should have already set out."

The last time the Sand Village invaded the country, the Daimyo Prefecture almost exploded, and condemnations and threats came one after another.

Now the Hidden Cloud Village has attacked again, and it seems that they are also aiming to occupy land. Not only has it occupied the Land of Hot Springs, but it has also occupied 500 kilometers of the Land of Fire.

It is conceivable that Daming Prefecture’s reaction this time will be even greater.

It is not easy to take back the territory occupied by the Cloud Ninja, mainly because they cannot spare more troops and strong men to go there.

Even if all the people left in the village went there, they would not be able to defeat the Hidden Cloud Village.

First of all, the strength displayed by the Third Raikage was terrifying. In addition, according to Hatake Sakumo's report, the Hidden Cloud Village seemed to have a weapon that could attack at a super long range, and even a strong man like the White Snake Sage was crippled by one blow.

There is no way to fight!
Both Mitomon En and Utane Koharu were troubled by this and had no good way to deal with it for a while.

The three of them discussed until dark before they had to disperse. After Sarutobi Hiruzen returned home, he came to the basement again, where the resurrected Sarutobi Sasuke had been staying.

"This operation is very dangerous. Even Tobirama Senju seems unable to perform it."

Sarutobi Sasuke, who was studying some information, looked up at his son who was approaching, and was very worried.

"For the sake of the family and the village, it's worth taking some risks."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said this with a determined look on his face as he took off his shirt, revealing his lean upper body.

Although he has a lean body, his muscles are well-defined. His physical skills are not bad, so his physique is naturally strong.

Sarutobi Sasuke didn't try to persuade him any further and injected a syringe of primary cell tissue fluid into his son's subcutaneous tissue at the heart.

At the same time, he took out the pair of Mangekyō Sharingan that he had seized and prepared for transplantation.

The primary cells are very corrosive. The small bag supported by the cell tissue fluid began to move like a mouse and grew rapidly.

The first thing to be devoured was the skin, which turned pale and transformed into the shape of a human face.

Sarutobi Hiruzen mobilized his own powerful chakra to suppress the first generation cells, slowing down their erosion and expansion.

He knew that transplanting primary cells was very dangerous, and even he himself would be in danger of death. Even with the idea of ​​the second-generation teacher, there was still a huge risk.

But he has no choice now. He must master the forbidden technique of Impure World Reincarnation as soon as possible, otherwise the situation will likely collapse.

The first generation of cells eroded very quickly, and the face was formed in a short time, but the erosion did not stop, and even became faster and faster.

Sarutobi Sasuke was waiting for this moment. At the moment when the first generation's face took shape, he transplanted the two Mangekyō Sharingan into the eye sockets.

The two opposing forces immediately collided with each other, and the power of the first generation cells was also attracted by the Mangekyō Sharingan, greatly weakening the erosion of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not hesitate at all. He refined a large amount of chakra and integrated it into the face of the first generation, trying to link and fuse the two to gain a certain degree of control.

This is an idea left by the second generation teacher, to use the Mangekyō Sharingan to suppress the first generation cells, so that the two can check and balance each other, so as to gain time and opportunity to fuse with the first generation cells.

The reason why it is transplanted to the heart is that a vascular connection can be established with the heart from here, which allows for better integration and makes it easier to control.

Moreover, he possesses chakra with all attributes, which is compatible with the chakra attributes of the first generation teacher, so the chance of fusion will be much greater.

But at the same time, the risks are also greater. If the transplant is done on the limbs, if the patient loses control and has the limbs cut off, the patient can still save his life, but this is not the case for the heart.

This is a gamble, and Sarutobi Hiruzen's bet is his own life.

The idea of ​​Tobirama Senju is good, but Hashirama Senju's power has far exceeded the Mangekyō, and Uchiha Naka's pair of Mangekyō is not enough to form a balance with Hashirama's cells.

But at least Sarutobi Hiruzen established a connection with those eyes, and could control them to a certain extent and mobilize the power within them.

Without any hesitation, he used the flesh and blood on Uchiha Naka's head as a medium and a person who had been prepared long ago as a sacrifice to perform the Impure World Reincarnation, and brought Uchiha Naka's soul out of the Yellow Spring Pure Land.

Without giving the other party a chance to speak, he guided the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan and forcibly controlled it, allowing Uchiha Naka to inject the power of the soul into the Mangekyō, followed by the injection of chakra, to enhance the Mangekyō Sharingan.

With the continuous infusion of chakra, the two kaleidoscopes finally resisted the erosion of the first generation cells and reached a relatively stable balance.

Noticing the changes in the two, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Sarutobi Sasuke both breathed a sigh of relief.

"How much do you control?"

Sarutobi Sasuke couldn't help but ask, feeling a little nervous and hopeful.

After all, it was the Wood Release that pacified the turmoil of the Warring States Period, and the Mangekyō Sharingan.

“It will take time to adjust.”

After sensing it, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

The power of Wood Release and Mangekyō are not so easy to control. Now he can only simply mobilize some Wood Release chakra. It is not enough to use it to perform Wood Release ninjutsu, otherwise the first generation cells may go berserk if he is not careful.

The same goes for the Kaleidoscope, which can only simply mobilize the lower pupil power and cannot activate the inner pupil technique.

But that's true. After all, it has just been transplanted and he doesn't have the blood of either family. It would undoubtedly be more difficult to control it.

"Once you have mastered the technique, control the Second Tsuchikage to reveal the secret of Dust Release Fusion. If you can fuse Dust Release, with the help of the chakra eliminated by the bloodline, you should be able to control Wood Release Chakra and Mangekyō."

Sarutobi Sasuke placed his hope on Dust Release Fusion. As long as he could get the secret technique of Dust Release Fusion from the Second Tsuchikage, there was a high probability that his son would be able to fuse it with his qualifications.

Wood Release and Mangekyō Sharingan are not easy to be seen in public, but Dust Release can be used. Even if there is a problem, it will only be the Iwagakure Village that is dissatisfied. There is no possibility that Konoha will have any objection to this.

"No, first use up the Wood Release Chakra in the First Generation's cells. I only need to use the First Generation's cells to carry these two Mangekyō to control the Impure World Reincarnation."

Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't think much of Wood Release, at least the simple transplanted cells he has are not enough, so the power of Wood Release he can use must be limited.

What he valued was the ability of the first generation cells to check and balance the Sharingan, thereby carrying the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Although the Sharingan does not have the terrible corrosiveness of the first generation cells, it consumes a lot of energy to use, especially the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Even the Uchiha ninjas find it difficult to carry the Mangekyo, let alone outsiders.

The continuous consumption that cannot be turned off is enough to drag him down. He is not the kind of ninja with huge chakra.

But it is different with the first generation cells. You only need to consume the Wood Release Chakra in the first generation cells, and you can perfectly carry these two Mangekyo and become the foundation for controlling the Impure World Reincarnation.

When it comes to improving his own strength, he places more emphasis on Dust Escape.
