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

Chapter 262 Immortal Body
Facts have proved that time can dilute everything. After Tiancun Hao accompanied Ye Cang for five days, the anger in his heart finally subsided to below the safe threshold.

In the end, they agreed to fight to the death after their injuries were healed, and the fight would not stop until one of them died!
Meanwhile, the Sand Village in Kikyoyama Castle finally confirmed the death of Ye Cang and his three teams. Even the Third Kazekage personally led a team to investigate the destroyed and abandoned experimental base.

"There are many tunnels opened by earth escape techniques around here. They are very deep and can use the earth to the greatest extent possible to avoid the perception of the ninjas. There are many footprints in them, and it is estimated that there are hundreds of footprints in total."

Luo Sha led the team around and returned to the Third Kazekage to report the results of the investigation.

“From the traces, there was no fierce fight, and there were no signs of damage from Ye Cang’s Burning Escape.

This place looks like it was blown up with explosive talismans, there are at least thousands of them, is this some kind of trap? Or maybe a space ninjutsu?"

Chiyo squatted in the explosion pit, groping and observing, and became more and more confused.

If Ye Cang was killed here, then the traces here would be too strange. At least he was killed instantly. There are no such strong people in the ninja world at this stage.

Moreover, they have all received targeted training against the Flying Thunder God Technique like Minato Namikaze's, so it is impossible for them to be killed instantly by space ninjutsu.

what is the problem?

"What about the smell?"

The Third Kazekage spoke with a gloomy face, saying that Ye Cang's death was a major blow to the Sand Village, especially during this war.

What worries him even more is that if Ye Cang was really killed by Konoha, then he would most likely be resurrected as that kind of dead, and then turn against their Sand Village, which would be a disaster.

"Lord Yekura, their scent only reaches here and does not continue to move in other directions, not even one of them."

A Sand Ninja with a rat on his head came running over and reported the results of his search.

"This result could have either resulted in Ye Cang being killed instantly by the other party, and then using a sealing scroll to seal his body and take it away, or he was taken away by someone using a space ninjutsu before the action was taken."

After walking out of the big pit, Chiyo was even more confused. Who on earth could have killed Ye Cang and the three senior ninja teams in an instant? If it was a large-scale ninjutsu, it should have left more traces.

what is the problem?

"Go back first!"

After thinking for a while with a gloomy face, the Third Kazekage ordered to return.

Everyone could only return to Jugendshan City with heavy hearts. There were no other clues now, and they didn't know how to investigate even if they wanted to.

Chiyo looked suspiciously at Rasa, whose face was equally gloomy. Although there were no clues at the scene, if one thinks from the perspective of the beneficiaries after Ye Cang's death, in addition to Konoha, there is another person who benefited, and that is Rasa, the disciple of the Kazekage.

If Luo Sha was plotting something secretly, then what happened at the scene could be explained.

With Ye Cang's strength, it is impossible for him to be killed instantly by the enemy, but what if the one who attacked was his own people?
With external enemies outside attracting Ye Cang's attention, it is possible that his own people could take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack and kill Ye Cang instantly, and then use a large number of detonating tags to destroy all the bodies, including Ye Cang's, to prevent them from being used by Konoha.

Of course, this is just a guess and cannot be said out loud.

Not to mention that there is no evidence, even if there is evidence to prove that it was Luo Sha who did it, we cannot say it.

First of all, such a scandal must not be exposed, otherwise it will be a fatal blow to the village, especially at this critical time.

Secondly, Luo Sha is the only strong young man left in the village. Now that Ye Cang has been lost, they cannot lose Luo Sha again.

Thinking of this, Chiyo retracted her gaze, stopped thinking about it, and hurried on her way.

But after Chiyo withdrew her gaze, Luo Sha secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and beads of sweat broke out on his head.

It was because he was covered with a layer of sand armor, otherwise he would have shown something abnormal long ago, and he was also very confused.

According to his understanding of Ye Cang, she was a very ambitious woman who had always been eyeing the position of Wind Shadow, and did not fully explode until the coalition forces arrived here, especially in the last battle.

Such a deep-minded person would definitely not trust anyone. It might be possible to cause serious injuries through a sneak attack, but it would be too difficult to kill him directly.

The thousands of detonating tags he prepared were his second killing move, allowing Haruko to hold Ye Cang tightly and die together, and kill other people in the process.

But judging from the traces at the scene, Ye Cang showed no signs of struggling or fighting back, and it seemed that he succeeded with one strike.

Isn't this too easy?
This gave him an uneasy feeling in his heart. Is Ye Cang really dead?

It couldn't be that he was just seriously injured and then captured and taken away by Danzo Shimura. That would be troublesome.

I hope that won't be the case. Otherwise, whether I'm captured and persuaded by Danzo Shimura, or killed and made into that kind of dead, it will be a huge threat to me.

Fortunately, I was very secretive about Haruko's story, and only I knew about it. Even if Ye Cang and Shimura Danzo testified against me, I would have something to say as long as there was no evidence.

After all, Danzo Shimura is an enemy, and the entire ninja world knows about Danzo Shimura's character.

Oonoki and the others soon learned the news that Ye Cang might have died. Although they were surprised and suspicious, they couldn't say anything. They could only be more careful to guard against being ambushed and killed by Konoha's strong men.

However, the situation between the two sides seemed calm afterwards, but the warrior armies of the five countries fought fiercely, and it could almost be said that they were killing and looting like crazy.

All kinds of supplies in the Fire Country were looted, including food, metal materials, cloth, cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, etc., anything that could be used was taken away.

As for people, they were all killed, regardless of gender, age or status, as long as they were seen.

This was a combat order personally issued by the Daimyo of the four great nations. After learning from their own ninja village that Konoha had the ability to perish together with them, they knew that Konoha and the Fire Nation could not be destroyed this time, so they could only inflict maximum damage to them and slow down their post-war recovery.

At one time, the people of the Land of Fire all migrated to the capital and Konoha with their families. All domestic systems collapsed, making it difficult to provide various supplies, especially food, to the front line.

Under such circumstances, farmers simply don't have the courage to go out to farm. Without new grain income, they can't last long relying solely on stored grain.

This is also the second combat intention of the four major countries and the four major ninja villages, to cause complete chaos within the Fire Country and eventually bring it down.

This is war, a war between nations, which is even more brutal and inhumane. Human lives are not even a number at this time because no one will count them.

Tian Cunhao naturally didn't know about these. After knowing that the front line was calm, he stayed in the spiritual world to practice with peace of mind.

This is also the main reason for his return this time. After obtaining Minato Namikaze's eyes last time, he carefully studied the cells inside and discovered the mystery of the deep fusion of fairy energy and the body, and even the transformation of the body.

The transformed body will be more compatible with natural energy, making it easier to enter Sage Mode and maintain it longer.

For example, the two Six Paths Sage brothers can maintain their power forever, and that is why they can fight against Kaguya Ōtsutsuki for several months.

He also discovered that the energy in Minato Namikaze's body was pure fairy energy, not the kind of energy that belonged to the Great Toad Sage, which gave him some guesses.

This pure fairy energy is also easier to integrate deeply into the human body and constantly transform the body. This is also the main reason why Minato Namikaze has improved so quickly in the past two years.

Of course, he had no interest in the improvement of Minato Namikaze. He was interested in the application of this fairy technique and was ready to apply it to himself.

With a reference, it will be much easier to do.

Use the original magic energy to deeply nourish the body's cells, further enhance the cell activity, and then use the magic energy to construct runes and imprint them in the cells.

This is a very time-consuming process and requires meticulous control.

Even Tamura Hao could only rely on the secret medicine of the Akimichi clan and use the positive chakra of the Ten-Tails to help himself grow bigger, so as to enlarge his body cells for better operation.

That’s right, the foundation of that kind of immortal energy to transform the body lies in these immortal runes. He is not unfamiliar with this kind of immortal runes, as that is the structure of the immortal runes.

Obviously, Namikaze Minato integrated the fairy runes of Myoboku Mountain, which allowed his body to complete the transformation, just like when the Six Paths Sage used the Sage's Talisman on Otsutsuki Hamura.

Not only did it repair Otsutsuki Hamura's injuries, but it also allowed him to gain the power of immortal arts, which enabled him to assist the Six Paths Sage in fighting against Otsutsuki Kaguya until they finally defeated the seal.

It took half a year of silent practice like this before all the cells in the body were able to construct the magic runes.

With the comprehensive formation of the fairy runes, the activity of all cells in the body is further enhanced, and at the same time, it autonomously absorbs natural energy from the outside world to nourish the cells.

In this state, Tamura Hao does not need to deliberately control it. He only needs to refine the chakra to directly refine it into fairy chakra, which is a permanent sage mode.

This is the same as the tribes in the three holy places. Those toads and snakes are in a permanent sage mode state, with sage chakra always in their bodies, which allows them to use it all the time.

"This is the real immortal body!"

Feeling the changes in his body, Tiancun Hao was very satisfied. The saying of the Thousand Hands family as an immortal body was actually not quite right. It was more about the blood physique inherited from the Six Paths Sage, and it was not possible to cultivate into the immortal mode on its own. It was necessary to go to the three holy places to cultivate with the help of a medium.

A true immortal body should be a system for cultivating the natural energy of immortal arts, while the bloodline constitution of the Thousand Hands clan is only reflected in the chakra system. It should be more accurately called a divine body.

Because the Otsutsuki clan called themselves gods, and Kaguya Otsutsuki was once known as the Goddess of the Rabbit, the bloodline inherited by the Senju clan is essentially the bloodline of the Otsutsuki.

Today, Tian Cun Hao's body is truly an immortal. This state can allow body cells to integrate with natural energy, constantly nourishing and increasing body lifespan. This is how the immortals in the three holy places have survived for so long.

This also caused Tiancun Hao to have new doubts.

"Logically speaking, this state is enough for the Six Paths Sage to survive for hundreds of years. How could it be possible that it would age like an ordinary person's body?"

Even those beasts in the three holy places could survive for so long with the help of fairy arts training. There was no reason why the bodies of the Six Paths Sage and Otsutsuki Hamura, who also mastered perfect fairy arts, would age so quickly that they could not even see their great-grandchildren.

"Perhaps you can only know the answer to this question by going to the Pure Land of Hell."

Black Zetsu gave a direction and had some guesses in his mind.

"Are you saying that they overexerted their chakra and damaged their body foundation, causing their bodies to age quickly?"

Tamura Hao thought of the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, who died very early. The cause of death was that he over-extracted chakra in the battle at the Valley of the End, which damaged the foundation of his body. He died within a few years. It can be said that he died young.

With Hashirama Senju's enormous life force and chakra, he can certainly live to be eighty or ninety, even if he doesn't live to be a hundred years old.

After all, even Tsunade lived to see Boruto, and she would be at least seventy years old by then. It looks like she could live for a few more decades.

"What Tobirama Senju said about the Uchiha is correct. The spirit of any Uchiha who awakens the Sharingan will gradually move towards extremes. The higher the level of the Sharingan, the more extreme the thoughts.

When Yui awakened the Sharingan, Mangekyō and Samsaragan in a short period of time, it must have had some impact on her thinking. Even if it is not visible on the surface, it must have changed deep down in her heart, leading to some decisions being made."

On this point, Black Zetsu agrees with Senju Tobirama's understanding of the Sharingan and Uchiha, that the eyes of that system are indeed cursed.

“There really are no normal people.”

Tamura Hao deeply agreed with this. Even though the future Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi were not quite right in their brains, their thoughts had become extreme to some extent.

This subtle change was even more fatal. Then Uchiha Itachi destroyed his family for the village and his younger brother, and killed his parents with his own hands.

How cruel!
"Forget about them. How are we going to practice next? This level of transformation probably won't satisfy you."

Black Zetsu is more concerned about his brother's future training direction. As for the Yellow Spring Pure Land where Hagoromo Hamura is located, they will naturally not enter it. The two have been planning there for thousands of years, and have absorbed the chakras and souls of countless ninjas in the ninja world for thousands of years. The extent of the transformation must be extremely terrifying.

I guess even if my mother goes in, she will be in great danger. I should lure Otsutsuki Isshiki over there to explore the way later.

Or guide my mother's tribesmen to come down and fight with Yuyi and the others.

"Pure natural energy is not enough, and there should be no natural energy in the universe, or very little. I need to refine other energies, and the best choice is the sun.

But that is too extreme and too far away, before that I want to try the power of lightning and fire."

Next, Tamura Hao wants to try lightning and fire, and integrate them into the magic runes in the cells in his body.

As for solar energy, he didn't want to try it for the time being. He had used the Rinnegan to create an energy absorption ball before and absorbed solar energy just like Otsutsuki Toneri.

As a result, not to mention him, even the bodies of the Juubi and Kaguya were almost set on fire.

That attempt proved that solar energy can be absorbed, but it requires a strong foundation to carry it. Not only does it require strong physical fitness, but the intensity of the energy in the body must also meet the standard, at least to be at the level of bloodline network.

This is just like the practice of Sage Mode. If the chakra and physical level are not high enough, one will not be able to resist the erosion of natural energy and will eventually be completely assimilated by natural energy and lose his life.

However, solar energy is much more powerful than natural energy, and the threshold for absorption and refining is higher.

Of course, as long as the absorption is successful, the benefits will definitely be huge, and there will be no shortage of energy to roam the universe in the future.

Even Tamura Hao wanted to see if he could cultivate himself into a superman-like being.

"Lightning and fire are the few natural energies with attributes. They are widely present in clouds and underground magma and are easy to absorb and utilize."

Black Zetsu agreed, saying that these two energies were indeed easier to find and absorb in large quantities, and that the properties of these two energies were similar to those of solar energy, and could serve as the foundation for absorbing and refining solar energy in the future.

And at this stage, the Hidden Cloud Village already has the Thunder Sage Mode created by the Third Raikage based on the Lightning Chakra Mode and the Sage Mode.

It should not be difficult to create the Flame Sage Mode next. You can even refer to the Melt Release Chakra Mode of the previous Four-Tails Jinchuriki.

With these as a foundation, it is only a matter of time to cultivate the magic runes of both.

"It's time to take back my sister's starting space."

Standing up, Tamura Hao stretched, and then he was going to plan the starting space for Kaguya Otsutsuki.

"Those eyes are already very mature."

Black Zetsu was also very much looking forward to it. Uzumaki Nagato's eyes had become completely stable and mature a month ago, and even manifested on their own.

He also came here a month ago, but his younger brother was practicing and transforming at that time, so he has been waiting until now.

"I'm going to take a shower and change my clothes first!"

Tian Cun Hao was not in a hurry to go there. He planned to go back to the villa built in the spiritual world to rest for a few days and adjust his physical and mental state to the best before going there.

After returning home, I took a shower first, and then went to soak in the hot spring pool located on the side of the room on the rooftop.

This is a three-story villa. The top floor has its own bedroom, which has a standard king-size round bed. The other half is an artificial hot spring pool connected to the bedroom.

Although it is artificial, except for the artificial heating method, all other aspects simulate the formation factors of hot springs to the greatest extent possible, and even a lot of rocks were transported from the Land of Hot Springs, so it is no different from a natural hot spring.

"You little pervert, you finally came out!"

Not long after soaking in the water, a tall figure came flying down with a pair of purple-black flame wings. It was Ye Cang.

She had recovered long ago, and had received limbs grown with her own cells. She had been training very hard in the past few months, just to have a decisive battle with this pervert.

It was just that this little lecher had been practicing in seclusion there for the past few months, and she couldn't go over and disturb him, so she had been able to endure it until now.

Today I finally don't have to endure it anymore.

And she's not fighting alone.

"You have integrated the energy of the meteorite?"

Looking at the purple-black flaming wings, Tian Cun Hao was slightly surprised and sensed the energy of the meteorite from them.

"Sister Ye Cang, beat him up!"

At this time, a girl wrapped in purple bird-shaped chakra flew over and landed, cheering for Ye Cang and glaring at the big bastard fiercely. Needless to say, it was naturally Xia Rixing.

She was also brought here last time and has been practicing here, and her strength has improved rapidly.

"Have you integrated the Peacock Magic?"

Tiancun Hao suddenly realized that Ye Cang must have practiced the Peacock Magic with the help of Xia Rixing. The Peacock Magic is indeed excellent in terms of form change, which can make up for the shortcomings of Scorch Escape.

Although Scorch Release is powerful, its strength lies entirely in its destructive power. It is much weaker in other aspects and can only be used to create a fireball.

Now combined with the Peacock Magic, it is no exaggeration to say that it is like adding wings to a tiger.

Moreover, Ye Cang has also cultivated the Sage Mode and mastered it proficiently. Even with the Sage Energy that he had given him at the beginning, it is amazing that he can use it to this extent.

It can be seen that he has been practicing hard over the past six months.
