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

Chapter 222 Thunder Purgatory
“When will this war end?”

Looking at the bright moon in the night sky, Ye Cang didn't like the war very much because too many people had died.

Although their front line was relatively stable and they had been suppressing Danzo Shimura and Orochimaru, they all knew that the Fire Nation and Konoha would not give up and there would inevitably be a decisive battle, in which more people would die.

It is difficult to say the cause and right or wrong of war, as everyone has their own reasons and beliefs, but it is certain that war will inevitably bring pain and has caused too many deaths and injuries.

He might even die in this battle.

"It's hard to say, maybe it will end in a year or two, or maybe it will continue forever."

Tamura Hao really couldn't say for sure. After all, there were too many factors that affected the war. Even if he had many plans, he could only play a guiding role and could not decide the end of the war.

However, the subsequent demise of the Senju clan will inevitably be a major turning point, and Konoha's true trump card will be revealed.

For example, the Impure World Reincarnation that Sarutobi Hiruzen has high hopes for, and even that old guy may be able to fuse the Dust Release.

It's time for Lord Danzo to reveal his power, and then it's Orochimaru's turn.

It is difficult to determine Orochimaru's position. Tamura Hao has never thought of recruiting such a fickle person because the risk is too great.

Even if Orochimaru's scientific research ability is incredible, he would not choose him.

"If I die on the battlefield, you will take Yashamaru away. I know you have the ability to do so."

After a moment of silence, Ye Cang whispered about Yashamaru.

Yashamaru is still young and has no other relatives in the Sand Village, so it would be better to take him to Karura.

"Ok!"

Tiancun Hao nodded, thinking in his heart how Luo Sha would kill Ye Cang in the future.

If the means are more sophisticated, they will use a borrowed knife to kill someone, for example, as in the original plot, using the Hidden Mist Village to kill Ye Cang.

A less sophisticated method would be to personally lead people to surround and kill him, but no matter what, Ye Cang must die once.

Only by dying once can Ye Cang sever the ties with the Sand Village.

Ye Cang had no idea that the young man next to her was waiting to collect her body. She felt a little confused at the moment.

The banquet slowly ended as the two of them were talking, and Tamura Hao went first to the room where Shimura Izumi was imprisoned.

"Giggle..."

The scarlet single eye shone in the dark room, accompanied by a creepy laugh.

"It's been so long and it's still not getting better."

Tamura Hao walked to the bedside and looked at Shimura Izumi who had a crazy look on his face. He admired the obsession in his heart.

He knew that the key reason why Shimura Izumi refused to surrender was not his obsession with revenge against him, but his love for Sarutobi Shinnosuke, and the hope he still had in his heart.

This is the bond that belongs to Izumi Shimura.

Izumi Shimura looked at the young man in front of him with obsession, and endless hatred surged in his heart. He wished he could eat him up bit by bit.

"The degree of integration with the little three-tail has improved again, but he still maintains his rationality and has not been deeply changed by his animal nature. He is a good little white... volunteer."

After examining Shimomura Izumi's body, Tamura Hao cherished this experimental subject very much.

Izumi Shimura is in a very special state now. He has merged with the transformed three-tailed beast in the sealed space.

It's not just the fusion of chakras, but also the fusion of the physical level. If this trend continues, the two will eventually merge into one and become two sides of the same coin.

This kind of fusion is very dangerous. Once the spiritual will can no longer hold on, it will be completely eroded and devoured by the little three-tail and become a part of that little three-tail.

Fortunately, Miss Quan's obsession is very strong, and she has maintained her consciousness and has not been devoured.

"Ms. Quan, today we are going to have a martial arts version of the script "Crescent Moon Scimitar". You are the granddaughter... no, the daughter of the demon cult leader Shimura Danzo. You are gentle, considerate, and understanding, but you suddenly met the shocking sex demon Ding Peng..."

Tamura Hao patiently explained the script to Miss Izumi and changed the plot of Crescent Moon Scimitar, changing Shimura Izumi from a lady from a wealthy family into a woman of revenge, and even referred to part of Shimojiro's script, allowing Miss Izumi to defeat monsters and level up in the process of hunting down the shocking pervert Ding Peng, becoming the supreme sword demon.

He wanted Shimura Izumi to practice sword Zen and eventually hone his sword skills, so that he could better merge with the Three-Tails and be guided by his own consciousness, so as not to turn into a monster, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to Lord Danzo.

At the same time, this is also a very good research topic, not only the fusion case of Shimura Izumi and Kozobi, but also the feasibility of using illusion to assist in sword practice.

After finishing the explanation, Tamura Hao held Miss Izumi's smooth cheek, looked into her eyes, and activated the Tsukuyomi eye technique, creating an illusion of the script in her mind, and even used the resonance of the Eight Thousand Spears Imprint to assist.

After working like this until late at night, Tamura Hao took a shower in the bathroom of Miss Quan's room before leaving tiredly.

However, he did not return to his room, but used the Flying Thunder God Technique to come to Miss Yecang's room.

She climbed onto the bed skillfully, got into the quilt, hugged the human-shaped pillow from behind, and rubbed her cheek against the smooth and beautiful back.

I haven't had it for a long time, I miss it.

Ye Cang, who had not slept all the time, saw that the lecherous boy was really bold and came again. He slapped away the claws pressing on his chest, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

She had become accustomed to being hugged by this pervert while sleeping. She even couldn't sleep at night for a long time after returning from the Rain Country. She was not used to it.

He slept like this until dawn, and after saying good morning to the young lady, Tamura Hao used the Flying Thunder God Technique and left.

"Pervert!"

After mumbling something, Ye Cang continued to sleep.

Her spirit had been tense during this period on the front line, and the relaxed atmosphere here made her relax.

Especially with that perverted kid here, it must be safe here and I can sleep in without any worries.

Not to mention the deployment of the four-village coalition forces, on the other side, after receiving the report from his own disciples, Jiraiya ordered the ninja army to set off without any hesitation.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and his men from Konoha once again sent some men to support, and even Might Dai, the killer, was sent over.

"Trouble!"

Looking at the map hanging on the wall, Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked irritably, feeling a little regretful in his heart.

If he had agreed to Mito Kado En's proposal at the beginning and gathered strong men to defeat the Sand Village Ninja Army and regain the defense line of Kawa no Niku, he would not be so passive.

Now three places have been lost on the four fronts. The Daimyo will definitely not allow this. The next step will be a death order. Once the Mist Village completely occupies that peninsula, I am afraid that the title of Hokage will be stripped by the Daimyo.

Unfortunately, it's too late to regret now.

"Hiruzen, can you still keep it stable with the means at your disposal?"

Mizuto Menyan asked tiredly. He had no choice but to face this situation.

It all depends on whether the old friend has prepared enough cards. If he can't hold back...

"It can be stabilized, but now is not the time to use it, otherwise all the previous plans will be in vain."

Sarutobi Hiruzen gave a positive answer and was very confident about it.

The first generation cells are very compatible with the Mangekyō Sharingan, and the power of the first generation cells can even enhance the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

This made his control over the Impure World Reincarnation even more handy, and the number of Kage-level warriors under his control reached ten.

As for the ancestors of their Sarutobi family who died in the past, there was no need to control them. As long as they had the strength to reach the level of a jonin, they would be resurrected by him.

Then came some powerful ninjas who joined them, and they formed an Impure World Army that they could perfectly control.

Although he cannot unleash his peak strength before birth due to the sacrifice, he is already very close. Coupled with the infinite chakra of the Impure World Reincarnation, his combat power is very strong.

At the same time, his progress in integrating Dust Release was also good, especially after swallowing and absorbing part of the chakra of the Second Tsuchikage, his progress was even more gratifying.

But it will take some time for the transformation, and these two trump cards cannot be exposed for the time being.

"Just keep it steady!"

After receiving a positive response, Mitomon En and Utane Koharu both breathed a sigh of relief.

"The envoys from the Daimyo Prefecture must be on their way. We must convince them once again and be prepared to give up that peninsula. After the Thousand Hands are destroyed and the Third Raikage and the elite Kumogakure are killed, we will unleash our strength to take it all back."

Sarutobi Hiruzen believes that internal problems are more serious than external problems and need to be solved first.

Only in this way can the village's strength be united and function together. Otherwise, if the intrigues and struggles continue, both sides will suffer losses in the end, and foreign enemies will take advantage of them.

Neither he nor the Thousand Hands faction could give in, so one side could only fall.

Moreover, while plotting against the Senju clan, they can also lure the Kumogakure into the game. Given the greed of the Kumogakure, they will definitely target the women and children of the Senju clan, and they will serve as bait.

That would be the best time to use the Impure World Reincarnation army to annihilate the elite of Kumogakure in one fell swoop, and if you're lucky, you could even kill the Third Raikage.

In this way, the Hidden Cloud Village can be severely damaged. As long as the Hidden Cloud Village is crippled, the remaining Hidden Mist Village, Hidden Sand Village, and Hidden Rock Village will no longer be a concern.

This is his strategic plan in this battle!
"We will try our best to convince them, but we must take back those territories in the end." Utane Koharu nodded solemnly. They were now on the same boat and must advance and retreat together.

Once Sarutobi Hiruzen falls, they will not have a good ending either.

No matter who among those people succeeds to the throne, it will be difficult for them to tolerate them and the clansmen they have placed in important departments over the years.

A new round of confrontation between the old and new forces will inevitably begin, and they will fall into the same situation as Qianshou.

But they don't have the strength and prestige of Qianshou, so they can't last that long.

"In addition to private bribes, we also need to have overt benefits. In the promise to take back the territory, we can include the surrounding small countries to stimulate the ambitions of the daimyo to expand their territory..."

Mitomon Yan calmly analyzed and suggested that private bribery alone would not work, and that it would also be necessary to use public reasons to convince others, that is, to paint a rosy picture.

As long as the drawing is good and big enough, keeping that side steady shouldn't be a problem.

The three of them then had a detailed discussion on this point, while Jiraiya and the others led their troops south.

Maintaining a certain speed while being alert and vigilant, it took three days to finally reach the connection point between the mainland and the peninsula.

But when Jiraiya and others arrived, they looked at the solid fortifications on the opposite side and the rainy weather here, and their hearts sank.

Instead of attacking immediately, they found a suitable place to quickly station and rest.

"According to the latest intelligence, the Sand Village has also sent a support team, led by the Scorch Release Master Ye Cang, with a team of over a hundred people.

What we are facing now is the coalition of the four major ninja villages, and it is the rainy season here. The rain is abundant, which is very suitable for the performance of the Kirigakure ninjas. The rain clouds can also be transformed into thunder clouds, which is suitable for the performance of the Kumogakure ninjas..."

Yutarai Zixiao first told the information he had, and everyone present looked unhappy.

This battle is going to be difficult.

But we have to fight no matter how difficult it is. This is not only a death order from the village, but the order from Daming Prefecture will definitely come soon.

Nara Shikaku, who was sitting in the corner, did not participate in the discussion here. He was thinking seriously about the map in his hand, his brows furrowed more and more.

"Shikaku, what did you think of?"

Minato Namikaze, who was standing beside him and looked tired, saw Nara Shikaku's expression and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"I wonder why they took a long detour to land from the west. There must be some secret hidden here."

Nara Shikaku took out a piece of tea leaf and put it in his mouth, chewing it to refresh himself, his eyes never leaving the map in his hand.

He could see that there was something wrong, but he didn't know what it was.

This is actually a difference in perspective. As a time traveler, Tian Cun Hao has seen and heard of too many super projects in his previous life. Even in ancient times, there were large projects like the Grand Canal.

Although people in this world possess extraordinary powers, they use them in fighting and killing, and rarely in daily life and production, let alone those major projects that change the world.

So it is difficult for people here to think to that extent, it is a cognitive limitation.

Even though Nara Shikaku has a good brain, his cognition is based on the experience summary of his predecessors, and it is impossible for him to surpass the wisdom of his predecessors.

Seeing Nara Shikaku lost in thought, Namikaze Minato did not disturb him, but he felt very uneasy.

Although they knew about Kirigakure's plan here in advance, they did not know the specific details.

The sooner you know about this, the better, otherwise you will be passive.

Just at this moment, everyone's expression changed drastically.

The next moment a huge long sword chopped down, splitting the entire tent in two and tearing it into pieces.

Fortunately, everyone reacted in time and rushed out to avoid it at the first moment, otherwise they would have been torn to pieces. As for Nara Shikaku, who had been in deep thought, he was still brought out by Namikaze Minato.

"Susanoo! Uchiha Hikaru!"

Seeing the fifty-meter-high Susanoo outside, everyone gnashed their teeth in hatred.

That’s right, the one who came to attack was Uchiha Hikari who was riding the Susanoo, and he teleported over directly using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Susanoo's speed is a bit slow after all."

Looking at Jiraiya and the others who were dodging, Tamura Hao, who was standing on the shoulder of Susanoo, sighed.

However, the gains from this strike were not small. The entire camp was split into two, and at least hundreds of Konoha ninjas were killed.

"Chidori: Thunder Purgatory!"

At the same time, the Thunder God's clone on the other side, under his control, raised the Thor's hammer and shouted, and the Kenmyou Thunder God's Eye Technique worked on him. The rain clouds in the sky soon started to thunder, and the next moment, bolts of lightning were drawn down and struck the Konoha camp.

This is exactly the Chidori Kirin he developed. It has two forms. One is to gather together and fall down, just like the one that Jisuke will use in the future. The other is to disperse and attack, which is more suitable for killing soldiers.

Faced with this kind of lightning attack, even a Jonin would be in serious trouble if struck by it, and a Chunin would be instantly killed.

"Cloud Ninja!"

After dodging a bolt of lightning, Jiraiya roared in anger and immediately entered the Sage Mode with the help of the magic power of the Great Toad Sage, creating a lava giant to fight against Susanoo.

Others also rushed over to meet Ye Yueai and his gang who were charging over.

That’s right, this time it was just a surprise attack by Tamura Hao and a few other Kage-level strongmen, who used Uchiha Hikaru’s Flying Thunder God Technique to perform ultra-long-range teleportation and caught the opponent off guard.

As for the Flying Thunder God technique, Uchiha Hikaru had already arranged for shadow clones to be set up here, and also in the surrounding areas.

Tamura Hao could sense Namikaze Minato's Flying Thunder God technique, but Namikaze Minato could not sense Uchiha Hikaru, so he naturally could not guard against it or clear it in advance, which gave them the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

"Senior Might Dai, now is not the time to fight. If they can attack us suddenly, they can leave in an instant. It will be useless even if you open the death door."

Nara Shikaku immediately ran to the side of Might Dai who was trying desperately to open the death door and gave a calm explanation.

Lord Jiraiya had told me about Might Guy, and I had also heard from my father before that he was a ninja who could unleash terrifying power.

But we can't fight to the death now, this is their camp, if they can't beat us they can retreat calmly, and that kind of space ninjutsu is difficult to block and pursue.

If Might Guy used the Eight Gates but the other person ran away, wouldn't it be a waste of his time?

So this time I have to be patient and not be impulsive.

"Can……"

Might Dai knew that what the boy said made sense, but the current situation also made him anxious and annoyed.

"I believe that Master Jiraiya and the others will be able to drive the enemy out."

Nara Shikamaru has great confidence in Jiraiya and others. Although the opponent is strong, it is just a small team's raid after all, and there is no large force coming. As long as they can withstand the initial wave of attacks, they can fight back.

But will things be so simple?

Two black spheres were seen shooting rapidly from the south, and everyone's expression changed.

"It's the Tailed Beast Ball, everyone run."

Someone shouted, and the already stunned Konoha ninjas ran out one after another.

The power of the Tailed Beast Ball is not something they can contend with, if they don't run away they will die.

But Jiraiya did not run away. Despite being cut in half by Susanoo, he controlled the remaining half of the Lava Giant to jump up on one leg to catch a Tailed Beast Ball that was shot at him. He then used all his remaining strength to push the Tailed Beast Ball slightly to change its direction and shoot it out of the camp.

At the same time, Minato Namikaze also released the Yin Seal's chakra and fused it with the Nine-Tails' chakra, transforming into a little golden man. He came to the front of another Tailed Beast Ball and raised his hand to quickly form seals.

"The Flying Thunder God Guides Thunder!"

A huge ritual formation expanded, quickly swallowing the Tailed Beast Ball, and using the Flying Thunder God Technique to transfer it outside the camp.

Although the distance was not far, at least I got out.

"boom!"

Two huge balls of light exploded and expanded rapidly, shattering everything in their paths. Nothing could withstand such power.

However, this was not the end. The violent airflow generated by the explosion of the Tailed Beast Ball caused the clouds in the sky to roll and rub violently, generating more electric currents, which were then pulled down by the Thunder God's clone, turning the entire Konoha camp into a sea of ​​thunder and lightning.

Yeyue Ai and others were also dealing with the fierce attack from Yute Xi Zixiao and others to prevent them from coming over to interfere with the Thunder God's lightning induction.

Even if Might Day opened the seventh gate and rushed over, it would still be difficult to break through the defense line.

And with the little Ten-Tails supplying chakra, the Thunder God clone can be maintained almost indefinitely.

This made everyone despair. Are they going to die here?

The opponent was too strong, and he had the power of lightning. There were also two tailed beast jinchuriki in the distance launching tailed beast balls. They were simply not able to contend with him.
