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

Chapter 238: Human-Soldier Integration
"You are opening up new roads for the village, and I am not idle either."

The Third Raikage was even more proud, as this was a result of his research and practice.

"This is the method of human-weapon fusion that I created. It is not only the fusion of spiritual will and weapons, but also the fusion of chakra, body, and even life force..."

Listening to the Third Raikage's story, even Tamura Hao was shocked. This was too similar to the settings in those fantasy novels. In those novels, weapons were stored in the body to be nurtured, mostly in places like the Dantian.

For example, Zhatian next door stored his weapons in the secret realm of Lunhai for nourishment and refinement.

Now the Third Raikage is using sealing techniques to create a space at the navel position of his abdomen, and he seals the Spear of Hell inside just like he sealed the tailed beast, and connects it to its vitality just like the tailed beast.

This allowed for better integration and cultivation. If he didn't know this teacher very well, he would have thought that this was some fantasy master who had traveled through time.

"I had this idea mainly because of your sealing of Samehada. Samehada was originally used as a ninja sword, and after your forging, this famous sword and weapon can be considered a living thing. I tried it, and I didn't expect it to work."

The Third Raikage said with a smile that he had been inspired by his disciple's idea, and then he asked Uzumaki Tamae and others to explore and try, and finally developed this unique method of combining man and instrument.

"Although like the Tailed Beast Jinchūriki, he has the flaw that if the sealed weapon is destroyed he will suffer heavy damage himself, but he can fuse and nourish the weapon to the maximum extent.

Moreover, the Spear of Hell is my strongest point. If there is an enemy that can destroy the Spear of Hell, it would be meaningless for me to be alive. "

He knew that this was a flaw. Although it was not as extreme as the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki, who would die if the Tailed Beast left, it would definitely not be pleasant. However, he still decided to try and go on.

Everything is for the purpose of becoming stronger. Only by becoming stronger can we better protect the village.

"We still have to start with Yin-Yang Dun. According to the records of the Uzumaki and Senju families, Yin Dun creates form from nothing and can create form from the invisible, just like Uchiha's Mangekyō Eye Technique and Susanoo.

Yang Release gives life to form, it can inject life into the body and make dead objects come alive, just like the Wood Release of the First Hokage, which is not simply wood, but living trees.

It is said that those six ninja tools were made by the Six Paths Sage using Yin-Yang escape. If we want to further improve the weapon system, we can only start with Yin-Yang escape."

Tamura Hao knew that Yin-Yang Escape was the most powerful force, which was much higher than the five-attribute escape technique. Theoretically, it could create all things, even life.

Black Zetsu was created by Kaguya Otsutsuki using her Yin-Yang Release power. The tailed beasts were also shaped and bred by the Six Paths Sage using his own Yin-Yang Release power combined with the original power of the Ten Tails.

Including the Six Paths Ninja Tools, if you want to continue to improve the essence of the weapons, you must master the power of Yin and Yang.

"I have already fused the flesh and blood of Sarutobi Hiruzen to complete the chakra attributes. I already have the Yin and Yang attributes, but it is not easy to practice the transformation of the two properties.

By the way, why do you insist on using Sarutobi Hiruzen's flesh and blood to carry out this plan?"

The Third Raikage was puzzled by this. They had previously thought of using the flesh and blood cells of Senju Tobirama to complete the chakra attributes. After all, Senju Tobirama also had talents in all attributes. Although the First Hokage was powerful, he lacked Yin attributes.

If you just want to complete the attributes, Senju Tobirama's cells will be more effective.

But this disciple rejected this proposal at the beginning, and suggested using Orochimaru and Sarutobi Hiruzen's flesh and blood. He obtained some of Sarutobi Hiruzen's flesh and blood during the last Peninsula War and sent it back for cultivation. Then he took part of it and integrated it into the body of the monkey that had integrated the Senjutsu Curse, and used the corrosiveness of the Senjutsu Curse to indirectly fuse with his own body to complete the attributes.

Although this kind of indirect fusion of attributes is not as good as the innate ones and its strength is much worse, it is sufficient for cultivation. It is much easier and faster than forcibly practicing the changes in attributes.

But he didn’t understand why not use Senju Tobirama’s cells?
"The Six Paths Sage is too mysterious. We don't know what secrets his bloodline holds yet, so we shouldn't take any risks."

Tamura Hao briefly mentioned the hidden dangers of those bloodlines. The Third Raikage is his big thick leg, so no problems can be allowed to occur.

For some things, you should be prepared for the worst.

Moreover, it is only used to assist in training. It is enough to complete the attributes. There is no need to use Senju Tobirama's.

"Too."

The Third Raikage understood. Although he noticed that his disciple did not seem to have finished his words, he did not care. Anyway, this kid would not harm him.

Moreover, I haven't seen this guy fuse other people's cells into himself. He just relies on the shark muscle to temporarily gain that kind of power.

"How confident are you that you can use the transformation of bloodline fusion to gain new attributes?"

When asked about bloodline fusion, they had discussed this idea last time. For this purpose, they specially made ultra-high precision chakra test paper to confirm that hypothesis.

The chakra of these ninjas does have all attributes, but some attributes are strong and can be tested, while some attributes are too weak and difficult to be tested, and it is also very difficult to practice.

Because of this, some ninjas, even if they do not possess that attribute, can cultivate the corresponding property changes through acquired efforts. At most, the power of the ninjutsu using that attribute will be much smaller and the consumption will be much greater.

Since those attributes exist, as long as we find a way to improve them, they can be the same as the explicit attributes.

They have two ideas about this. One is to use cell transplantation to practice and use the cultivated chakra to stimulate nourishment.

The other is the bloodline fusion route proposed by this kid, which uses bloodline fusion to transform the body to strengthen hidden attributes.

This kid has already cultivated some of the property changes of lightning and yin attributes to the limit. The next step is the fusion of bloodline limits. Whether this idea can be successful depends on the other party's fusion.

"At least 80%!"

Tamura Hao is full of confidence. As his strength increases, his understanding of chakra becomes deeper and deeper, and he increasingly agrees with Black Zetsu's original proposal.

Chakra is the root of everything. Even as the core of the Otsutsuki, chakra is still the most important thing, and bloodline is just a by-product of chakra.

As long as you cultivate chakra, especially the yin and yang attributes, you can completely transform yourself and shape your bloodline. This is probably how the Otsutsuki bloodline came about.

What I have to do is to use chakra as the foundation, learn from the Otsutsuki bloodline to shape my own bloodline in the future, and reopen a bloodline system.

This aspect has actually existed in the ninja world for a long time, such as the bloodline limit of the escape technique type, and even the bloodline elimination.

That person does not rely on the Otsutsuki bloodline, but only relies on the training of chakra. He just needs to continue on this path.

"It seems that I have to continue on the path of blood inheritance. A teleportation alone is not enough."

The Third Raikage was happy and emotional. If this path could really be paved, the limits of ninjas would definitely be greatly improved, and he would be able to benefit from it at that time.

"If you just want to complete the attributes, a dual-attribute bloodline limit is enough. The reason why the bloodline power of the Thunder God's clone is in conflict and can only use two types of bloodline chakra at the same time is probably because it comes from external forces rather than its own fusion.

If it is a self-fused bloodline limit, the chakras all come from the same source, so they should be able to blend and coexist."

Tamura Hao believes that bloodline chakra can coexist. The future Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi is a ninja with dual bloodline, and can even combine the two bloodline powers for use.

For example, the Art of Misty Air is a fusion of the steam from boiling escape and the acid from dissolving escape.

As the Thunder God's clone continued to stimulate the potential of those bloodlines, he gradually understood the essence of them.

Although he had tried his best to integrate those clones, the cells came from other people after all. Even if they were fused into one and transformed with the chakra of the Ten-Tails, he still could not completely eliminate the mark of the original owner. This created repulsion, making it difficult for the chakras of the bloodline limits to blend perfectly with each other.

However, the mark of the original owner is a major foundation of the bloodline limit. Once it is erased with the help of the ten-tail, the bloodline will collapse. This becomes an unsolvable problem.

If the bloodline limit is formed by the fusion of itself, it must be perfectly compatible, unless the bloodline limit is mutually opposed and restrained.

"That's a lot easier. Once the attributes are completed with the help of bloodline fusion, we can separate Sarutobi Hiruzen's cells. It always feels awkward to fuse the cells of that villain."

The Third Raikage nodded. It would be best if he could rely on his own practice to improve his latent attributes. Cell transplantation was only a stopgap measure. He could better practice the changes in the properties of those attributes.

After chatting with the Third Raikage for a night, Tamura Hao set off for Turtle Island the next day to use the real waterfall there to further practice wind-attributed swordsmanship.

"friend!"

Sensing Tamura Hao's arrival, the island turtle seemed very excited, and the snake head formed by its tail immediately rose from the sea.

"You've grown bigger again."

Looking at the island turtle that had almost doubled in size, Tamura Hao was very amazed at this creature. The original island turtle was no smaller than the Ten-Tailed Fox, and even the Eight-Tailed Fox was just a tiny thing in front of it.

Last time, a large amount of Grayl energy was injected into the island turtle, which greatly increased its size. Now it has grown so much bigger. I really don’t know what the limit of this kind of existence is.

Could it be possible that it could grow into a giant star beast like those in novels and anime?
If this is true, we will be able to ride this big guy to travel through the starry sky in the future.

"I didn't grow to my full size last time, so I ate a lot of food to grow this big."

The island turtle replied proudly, and Tiancun Hao understood and could comprehend the problem.

Energy alone is not enough for physical growth, even pure life force like Grayer's is not enough. It also needs necessary nutrients to support it. The last rapid growth should have called on the original body reserves of the island turtle.

But the growth rate was too great, and even the island turtles' reserves were far from enough, so they continued to grow after being supplemented with food, reaching their current level.

"Is this your limit? Can you continue to grow?"

Tamura Hao asked, it would be great if it could continue to grow.

"That kind of power can no longer stimulate my body's growth, but the chakra you gave me should be able to do it. That one has greater potential."

The island turtle replied that he had indeed reached his limit, the limit of what his life force could stimulate, and his body had not grown any more in the past two months.

If you want to continue to improve, you can only start with that kind of chakra.

"Then you should first practice the changes in the properties of wind and water. When you have practiced to the limit, I will help you integrate the ice escape."

Tamura Hao also thought so. The Otsutsuki clan could roam the interstellar space with the help of chakra, which was far beyond the reach of local forces.

So when he let the island turtle obtain chakra, he explained to it the practice of changing the properties of wind and earth attributes in preparation for the fusion of ice escape.

Ice Escape is the most suitable for the Island Turtle at this stage. Once it has mastered the Ice Escape, the Island Turtle can create an ice shell to completely wrap itself, and then dive into the sea to hide better.

The ice shell can also protect the ecology on its back and the Cloud Ninjas who are training for survival.

For this purpose, they will also send some members of the Mizunotsuki tribe who have passed the test of loyalty here to assist the island turtle in his training. Even now, the island turtle is on the edge of the North Pole of the planet, where the temperature is below zero, which is very suitable for the practice of ice escape.

After chatting with the island turtle for a long time, Tiancun Hao came to the real waterfall to practice.

Because of the influence of his own consciousness, the dark side that was condensed this time was Ichigo Kurosaki, the god of death next door, holding the Zangetsu.

"Why not Blue?"

He was very unhappy with the dark side that was revealed, and he wanted to be Aizen, the king of kings, rather than Kurosaki Ichigo.

You have to know that he is the most powerful villain in the two-dimensional world. All his quotes are full of power and philosophy. Only the philosopher Pluto in the Ultra Beast Armor can be compared with him.

"Because I created Zangetsu."

Tamura Hao complained helplessly, why is it that his dark side is so unique?

"Then why don't you make me a native of the motherland, and I'll give you a crescent moon sky rush."

The dark side is still very unhappy.

"Stop talking nonsense and start fighting!"

Tamura Hao didn't want to waste any more time talking, so he held up the condensed Zangetsu and looked over.

The dark side muttered and swung his sword to meet the attack. Both sides used wind-attributed sword techniques, and the style was completely different from that of the dark side last time.

At the same time, this dark side has become even stronger due to the improvement of Tamura Hao, and he can easily use powerful moves such as Eight Swords Flash.

Not to mention Mr. Tian who was training here, the morale in the Konoha Southwest Front camp was very low. Not only because they were raided by the coalition forces of four villages, but also because their commander, Lord Danzo Shimura, was killed.

Even Lady Tsunade who just arrived was captured, and she is probably in danger.

One of them was their commander-in-chief, and the other was the strongest medical ninja. Their loss cast a shadow over everyone's heart, and they couldn't help but despair about this war.

Can we hold on to the end?

Even the older generation of ninjas couldn't help but doubt it, let alone the younger ones.

Of course, there were also people who did not give up, and even worked harder to practice and improve themselves, such as Hatake Sakumo and Namikaze Minato.

The two men engaged in a fierce fight in an open space behind the camp. Although neither of them activated the Yin Seal, they used all the other means they could.

Namikaze Minato continued to use the Flying Thunder God Technique, as if he had transformed into dozens of figures besieging Hatake Sakumo.

Hatake Sakumo even carried a Flying Thunder God Kunai with him so that Minato Namikaze could perform spells better.

Both of them were undergoing targeted training. Hatake Sakumo needed to adapt to this super-fast attack. Last time he was suppressed by the young man's super-fast speed.

Minato Namikaze had to deal with that kind of swift and sharp swordsmanship. He had been suppressed by Uchiha Hikaru's swordsmanship many times before, so he was very passive.

The two fought fiercely for more than ten minutes before they stopped panting. Although it was only more than ten minutes, the physical strength and energy consumed were beyond the imagination of outsiders.

At that super-fast combat frequency, if you react a little slower you will be hit, and if you don't die you will be crippled.

"You hit me too hard."

Yutarai Shishao and Yuhi Hong, who were watching the battle and supporting the team on the sidelines, sighed that the two were engaging in the most realistic combat and neither of them held back at all.

"It's still a bit worse."

Hatake Sakumo was not very satisfied. Compared to the boy's outburst last time, the intensity of their battle was still much lower.

It's not just because he hasn't burst out with his full strength yet, there are also gaps in other aspects.

Minato Namikaze felt the same way.

"Don't push yourself too hard, that kid is not a human being."

Yuhi Shinku comforted her, still finding it hard to understand the talent of the young man from the Hidden Cloud Village.

He didn't take that brat seriously when he first saw him two years ago, but the strength he showed in the subsequent Chunin Exams forced him to take it seriously, especially the final match against Might Dai.

Who would have thought that was just the beginning. The young man's strength became stronger and stronger. The speed of his growth was so terrifying that it was beyond their comprehension.

Namikaze Minato is already very outstanding, and his talent is definitely not worse than that of the second generation. With the Nine-Tails and the sealing techniques he has learned, it is very likely that he will reach the level of the first generation in the future.

However, there is still a huge gap in his growth rate compared to that young man. If the two of them were to face off, Namikaze Minato could only rely on the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape and would not be able to confront him head-on.

"Sakumo-senpai, can I learn swordsmanship from you?"

Namikaze Minato suddenly asked, appearing very serious and sincere.

He used to think that after learning the Flying Thunder God Technique and adding the Rasengan, he was invincible in close combat. However, after facing Uchiha Hikaru and Tamura Hao on the battlefield, he found out how naive he was.

The Flying Thunder God Technique is not invincible. If I really fight those two people in close combat, I will definitely lose.

Although Uchiha Hikaru's swordsmanship is much inferior to that of Tamura Hao, he possesses a spatial eye technique that can suppress his own, and can use it frequently, as if it does not require the consumption of eye power.

Tian Cun Hao's swordsmanship had reached an inhuman level, and coupled with his super-fast speed, he was also unable to resist.

So he wanted to learn the sword technique. Currently, the person with the best sword technique in the village was Senior White Fang.

"You're studying too many different subjects. I don't recommend you to be distracted any further."

Hatake Sakumo persuaded him that at this stage, Minato Namikaze had learned a lot of different things, including Sealing Technique, Flying Thunder God Technique, Rasengan, etc.

Each of these requires a great deal of energy to study and research, and it is amazing that Minato Namikaze can cultivate to this level.

If I learn swordsmanship again, the pressure will be too great, and it may even slow down the practice in other aspects, which would not be worth it.

"Sakumo's swordplay requires more concentration, which is not suitable for you."

Mitarai Shixiao also advised that the Hatake family evolved from a samurai family, and the swordsmanship they inherited was essentially the same as that of the samurai, but it was integrated with ninjutsu and was better at head-on combat. It was different from the fighting style of Namikaze Minato.

"If you really want to learn swordsmanship, you can follow the path of the Nidaime. The Nidaime is also a strong swordsman. The Uchiha style of swordsmanship is also suitable for you."

Yuhi Shinku gave a suggestion that although Namikaze Minato was slightly inferior to the young man, he was already the strongest of the younger generation of their Konoha and the future of the village. It would be best if he could become even stronger.
