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

Chapter 277 Asking Father-in-law to Ascend to Heaven

In the Uchiha clan's territory, the clan leader's mansion, Uchiha Lieyang's cloudy eyes looked at a family portrait in his hand.

He knew that he didn't have much time left, and could only live for one or two years at most. If he encountered any setback, it was possible that he would die immediately.

Then I can go down and accompany my wife and those sons who died tragically, but I just want to see Mikoto again.

Although there was an element of transaction at the beginning, as a father, he naturally hopes that his daughter can have a happy future.

"father!"

Just when he was missing his daughter, a familiar call came, which made Uchiha Lieyang stunned. He thought he was hallucinating.

The next moment, a figure threw himself into his arms, and a familiar voice sounded again.

"Dad, Mikoto is here to see you."

Throwing herself into her father's arms, Uchiha Mikoto could no longer hold back her tears.

Dad looks much older now than he did before, and he must have had a hard time in the past few years.

"Is the war over?"

After confirming that it was really his daughter who returned, Uchiha Lieyang looked at the young man who walked in and had some guesses in his mind.

"It just ended. Sarutobi Hiruzen controlled the Impure World Reincarnation and blew up the Thousand Hand Ninja. I came here this time with Sister Tsunade to persuade the tribe members to leave.

Mikoto said that you, father-in-law, are about to die, so she came to see you and see if she can persuade some more Uchiha people to come to our Hidden Cloud Village."

Tamura Haoying's clone sat cross-legged opposite Uchiha Lieyang, picked up the teapot on the low table and poured himself a cup.

Maybe because of his philosophy back then, the old father-in-law seemed to like plain tea rather than the mushy tea he used to have.

"Can't you just speak properly?"

Uchiha Mikoto, who was feeling sad, couldn't help but turn her head and roll her eyes, but after this, the sadness in her heart was alleviated a lot.

Uchiha Lieyang didn't care much about what his son-in-law said. He was more concerned about the changes in his daughter.

Although he is old and his physical functions have declined significantly, his perception ability is not bad. He can feel the huge energy in his daughter's body, and the power in her eyes is also huge, definitely kaleidoscope-level eyes, even stronger than his own back then.

"Mikoto, have you activated your Mangekyo?"

Uchiha Lieyang was very excited that his daughter could actually awaken the Mangekyō.

"Well, I opened the Kaleidoscope and learned the magic..."

Nodding, Uchiha Mikoto briefly explained the power she had learned, which shocked Uchiha Lieyang but also made him feel relieved and happy.

"It was indeed the right decision to let you leave with him."

I am becoming more and more convinced of my original choice, and even feel fortunate.

The fact that that boy was able to allow Mikoto to gain so much power was enough to prove that he was sincere to Mikoto, so she didn't have to worry about it anymore.

"How is Fugaku?"

He immediately asked about the nephew, who represented another path for the family.

“He was rescued by Hyuga Hiashi, but I dug out his eyes. I also chopped Uchiha Mingjing to death.

I'm not saying anything bad, father-in-law, your education is really a failure. How come they all targeted me? I can't even hold back."

Tamura Hao told the truth and couldn't help but complain while speaking.

Not to mention that Uchiha Mingjing, who was openly coming to deal with him. Although Fugaku-kun was afraid of him, the murderous intent in his heart was also extremely strong.

The murderous intent directed at him was like a light bulb in the dark, making it difficult for him not to notice it.

"Don't you know why they are staring at you?"

Uchiha Lieyang glared at him and said, "Don't you have any idea what's going on when people are staring at you like that?"
You kidnapped Mikoto in the first place, and then not only defeated Ming Jing in the battlefield of Hot Spring Country, but also kidnapped his fiancée. It would be strange if they didn't keep an eye on you.

"But you can persuade them, father-in-law. You are the head of the Uchiha family. That is your responsibility. Although I have hurt them many times, as long as you persuade them well..."

Tamura Hao believes that his old father-in-law is a failure as the patriarch of the Uchiha family. He can't even handle such a small matter. No wonder the Uchiha family has not yet produced a Hokage.

Not to mention Uchiha Reiyang, even Uchiha Mikoto couldn't help but roll her eyes at these words.

Can't you speak some human language?
"I'll go pick someone for you."

Glaring at his cheap son-in-law unhappily, Uchiha Lieyang raised his hands, formed a seal, and created three shadow clones and left.

Since Fugaku has failed again, he has to make further choices.

Everything is for the family inheritance!

"Also, father-in-law, you'd better pass away today. I will take your ashes away and bury them in the Hidden Cloud Village. It will be more convenient for Mikoto to pay tribute to you in the future."

Tamura Hao stated a request and used Wood Release to make an exquisite urn on the spot, which made Uchiha Lieyang frown.

"roll!"

This brat is such a disgrace!

Uchiha Mikoto also glared. She came to visit her father, not to ask you to see my father off.

Not to mention that you are forcing him to give it to her. Is there any son-in-law like you?
Of course Tamura Haoying's clone will not leave, he will stay to monitor Miss Mikoto.

To prevent that girl from being fooled by that old guy Uchiha Lieyang into revealing the village secrets.

Not to mention the reunited father and daughter, on the other side, Uchiha Zhili came to Mingjing's house and met Mingjing's wife Uchiha Yue. It was Uchiha Lieyang who acted as the matchmaker and arranged the marriage.

"Sister Zhili, why did you return to the village? And your forehead protector!"

Uchiha Yue was very surprised when he saw Uchiha Zhili coming, especially when he saw the Kumogakure forehead protector on his forehead.

Has Sister Zhili already defected to the Hidden Cloud Village?
"Itsuki, you and Mingjing-kun are married, that's great."

Looking at Uchiha Yue who has dressed like a woman, Uchiha Zhili feels quite emotional. The little girl back then is now a wife and a mother.

"It was the clan leader who negotiated the peace. At that time, you, Chiri-sister, were captured by the Hidden Cloud Village..."

Uchiha Yue hurriedly explained, even feeling a little weak, that he had taken advantage of the opportunity.

The most important thing is that Sister Zhili used to be very good to me and always guided me in my cultivation. I always feel sorry for Sister Zhili by doing this.

"No need to explain, you are Mingjing-kun's wife. My fate with Mingjing-kun has long ended. I am now a member of the Hidden Cloud Village, no longer a Konoha ninja, and this time I came here..."

Uchiha Zhili tried to comfort him softly, but he couldn't continue speaking halfway through, not knowing how to tell Mingjing-kun the news of his death.

"Did Mingjing have an accident?"

Looking at the change in Uchiha Zhili's expression, Uchiha Yue had a bad feeling.

In fact, she had felt uneasy as early as when she saw Uchiha Zhili and Natamura Hao coming to visit. It was not a good thing for these two people to appear in Konoha at this time.

"I'm sorry, Mingjing-kun and Namikaze Minato teamed up to kill me, but I killed them instead."

Tiancun Haoying's clone spoke on his behalf. This was not a secret in itself and people would know it later.

Upon hearing the news, Uchiha Yue staggered and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately he was supported by Uchiha Zhili.

"You're so direct!"

Rolling his eyes at the young man who was following him, Uchiha Zhili took out a small bottle of nutrient solution that he carried with him and gave it to Uchiha Yue to drink. The pure life force in it flowed throughout his body, making Uchiha Yue feel better.

“I have seen you several times during the Chunin Exams and watched your battle in the Chunin Exams, and you are a dazzling genius.

Mingjing has also talked about you many times. Although he felt regretful and blamed himself for losing that battle, he also acknowledged your excellence and strength. If it weren't for your opposing positions, you should have become good friends.

You didn't kill Mingjing in the Land of Hot Springs because of Sister Zhili, right?"

Restraining the grief in his heart, Uchiha Yue looked at the familiar boy.

She had always stayed in the family and had seen the young man many times, but had never communicated with him.

"We in the Hidden Cloud Village really need a master of illusion like Miss Zhili. We considered whether to recruit Mingjing-kun or Miss Zhili. After some analysis, we finally felt that the chances of recruiting Miss Zhili would be greater. As a price, we would let Mingjing-kun survive.

I thought Mingjing would be disheartened and retire, but who would have thought that he would go to the front again. I saw his inner torment and his desire to die, so I could only help him and let him be liberated. "

Tian Cun Hao lied with a sad face, saying that he and Ming Jing Jun had long been friends with each other, and that killing him this time was an act of helplessness, and it was also a relief for Ming Jing Jun.

Even Uchiha Zhili didn't notice anything wrong with this deception, because that was the Mingjing she knew.

The lives of hundreds of clan members and thousands of village ninjas were too heavy a burden.

"I knew. When Fugaku-kun came to persuade Ming Jing, I knew this day would come."

Uchiha Yue said this dejectedly. She had expected this day. Ming Jing said sorry to her when she left. Those three words made her understand everything.

Mingjing really couldn't let it go, and it was indeed difficult to let it go.

“We came to Uchiha this time to select some clan members to bring to our Cloud Village for resettlement, and Mikoto is here too.

Second, Zhili and I want to come and see your child with Mingjing-kun. We have two options. One is to take you and the child to the Hidden Cloud Village. Zhili will be the child's teacher and pass on everything about Mingjing-jun to him.

Another option is for you and the child to stay in Konoha, and we will leave behind the legacy of Mingjing-kun."

Tiancun Hao continued to speak, stating two options. "Aren't you afraid that your child will seek revenge on you when he grows up?"

Uchiha Yue asked after a moment of silence, feeling a little confused.

"I don't think it's hatred, and Mingjing Jun doesn't think it's hatred either. His children will definitely inherit his will."

Tamura Hao was very serious about his deception and even hypnotized himself.

Mingjingjun is my best friend and a confidant with whom I understand each other. How could we become my enemy?

"It's not unfair that he lost to you!"

Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Uchiha Yue understood that this might be the bond between men.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I can't leave. Shisui also carries Mingjing's wish."

In the end, she rejected their invitation. She knew that as long as she followed them to the Hidden Cloud Village, Sister Zhili would definitely take good care of them and their child. However, she and her child carried Ming Jing's will, and Shisui would do what Ming Jing had not completed in the future.

In fact, she had liked Mingjing for a long time. That was why she agreed without hesitation when the clan leader came to propose marriage to her.

She will help Mingjing complete what she has not done.

"I understand, but Madam Yue, please teach Shisui well in the future and don't let him repeat the mistakes of Mingjing-kun. The dark side of this village is too scary."

Tamura Haoying's clone gave a kind reminder, and then handed the scroll prepared by Uchiha Zhili to Uchiha Yue's arms.

He had checked this scroll on the way here and was sure that there was no problem with it. It only recorded Uchiha Zhili's experience in practicing illusions and some illusions.

"Thanks for the reminder, I will teach Shisui well."

Uchiha Yue nodded. She naturally knew this. This was also the main reason why Ming Jing suffered a disastrous defeat in the battle of Yu Country.

They were not defeated by the Hidden Cloud Village, but by the people in the village.

"Then I won't bother you anymore!"

After looking at Uchiha Zhili who was staring at him, Tamura Hao said goodbye to Uchiha Yue.

People have already seen it, so there is no need to keep it.

Moreover, Miss Zhili also has to convince some people she is familiar with. Although she is a woman, she has a high prestige in the Uchiha family, especially among women.

The Hidden Cloud Village will not refuse any outstanding female ninjas and will accept as many as possible.

There is no way. No matter which world it is, men have the advantage in martial arts. There are not many female ninjas in the ninja world, accounting for only 10%.

It's not so bad on Konoha's side, they can roughly achieve a ratio of two to one, but their Hidden Cloud Village is much worse, the ratio of male to female ninjas is five to one.

The situation in Iwagakure is even worse, with the ratio of male to female ninjas reaching ten to one, and the situation in Sand Village is not much better.

Although they have introduced policies to encourage ninjas to marry and have children with ordinary people in order to speed up the spread of chakra bloodline and facilitate the training of more ninjas in the future.

But high-level ninjas are not short of those welfare benefits. They hope to marry female ninjas as their wives so that their offspring will be more outstanding, especially female ninjas who have inherited blood or secret techniques.

Uchiha is the top ninja clan in the ninja world and is the best choice.

Besides, so many Uchiha men died on the front line, and now the gender ratio in the clan is unbalanced. I think the old father-in-law is also worried about this.

"How many of the things you said are true?"

After leaving Uchiha Mingjing's mansion and walking for a while, Uchiha Zhili suddenly asked.

I didn't notice it at first, but the more this kid talked, the more outrageous it became. There must be something wrong with what he said.

"Is that important?"

Tiancun Hao asked back, he did lie, but it was a white lie.

I can't let Uchiha Shisui become an Avenger in the future and then be killed by myself.

"Isn't it important?"

Uchiha Zhili asked back, realizing that the brat was indeed a liar.

"Is it important?"

"Isn't it important?"

"Is it important?"

"Isn't it important?"

……

The two of them kept asking back like this, as if they were being stubborn.

Just at this moment, a slight vibration was felt, and both of them looked towards the Thousand Hands tribe's land.

"Is that Tsunade? Are they fighting?"

Uchiha Zhili was stunned and immediately thought of Tsunade, but how did they start fighting?

"I knew Sister Tsunade wasn't good at persuading people."

Tiancun Haoying's clone complained, not surprised by this, after all, the older sister was known for her bad temper.

At the same time, on the other side, Tamura Hao's real body was communicating with Orochimaru.

That's right, Orochimaru returned to Konoha. He was sent back by Sarutobi Hiruzen using the Senju Tobirama. It was obvious that he was worried about this place.

"The Kaleidoscope of the Lieyang Clan leader was actually used by Hao Jun to this extent."

Looking at the space passage, Orochimaru couldn't help but sigh.

As early as when he saw this person using the space gate to send people to attack, he guessed that it was Uchiha Lieyang's eyes.

Combined with the fairy magic seal on Uchiha Fugaku, it is easy to guess what happened.

They also collected information about the Uchiha, including Uchiha Reiyang's Mangekyō pupil technique.

But as far as they knew, Uchiha Lieyang's pair of Mangekyō had long reached its limit, and now it seemed that Haojun had repaired those eyes.

"Samehada really likes special bloodlines like the Sharingan. This kind of bloodline is also very suitable for Samehada. After the pupil power is purified and fused, it can in turn bless every pupil technique. Unfortunately, it still cannot break through that limit."

Tian Cun Hao said with a regretful expression, saying that he still couldn't break through that limit.

"Miss Guang seems to have broken through that limit. Has she completely integrated the transplanted pupil technique?"

Orochimaru asked humbly. When he saw the Susanoo before, he knew that Uchiha Hikaru's eyes had broken through and reached the same level as Uchiha Madara. It was obvious that he had integrated the eye technique.

According to the information left by the second generation, Uchiha Madara seemed to have merged the eyes of his younger brother Uchiha Izuna, and the final kaleidoscope pattern was also a fusion of the two kaleidoscope patterns.

Obviously, the key to transformation lies in fusion. My current eyes are the product of pupil transplantation. Can I achieve that?
“It can’t be said to be a breakthrough, it’s more like a completion, just like the kaleidoscope itself is an incomplete power, so there are so many side effects.

I don’t know how the light completed its own kaleidoscope, and it became a perfect kaleidoscope, but the pattern did not change. ”

Tamura Hao selectively said one thing.

"Complete, the pattern remains the same, a perfect kaleidoscope."

Orochimaru seemed to be thinking about something as he repeated those three key points.

If the eye pattern has not changed, it is indeed different from the evolution direction of Uchiha Madara, but it is obviously also an improvement, much more powerful than the ordinary Mangekyō.

Whenever he sneaked into the mountain city battlefield before, he could feel the oppression from the eyes. They must be more advanced eyes.

"It seems that the way that Mingjing-kun's eyes blend is different from the way that light blends."

Looking at the overlapping patterns in Orochimaru's eyes, Tamura Hao was very clear about the difference.

Because Uchiha Hikaru's pupil technique transplant was secretly guided by Black Zetsu, the external pupil technique and pupil power were integrated into the original eyes, with Uchiha Hikaru's pupil technique and pupil power as the main ones.

Therefore, Uchiha Hikaru's kaleidoscope pattern is not overlapping, but its own pattern.

But Uchiha Mingjing's was just a pure transplant and coexistence, and there was no big boss like Black Zetsu to secretly guide the fusion, so it became the overlapping state it is now.

"It is indeed different, and it is definitely the wrong way to go. The improvement is not obvious, and there is no sign of integration and transformation."

Orochimaru felt regretful and distressed.

I had high hopes for this pair of eyes, but who would have thought that the result would be like this. It did not meet my expectations, let alone fusion and transformation.

"I have an idea here. If Lord Orochimaru is interested, you can try it."

Tamura Hao had an idea, which was inspired by the structure of the Magatama Samsara Eye.

"Please speak, Haojun!"

Licking his lips, Orochimaru was intrigued.

He highly recognized this person's ability and brain. The operation he performed on Yuhi Shinku last time was very good, and Yuhi Shinku's feedback was also ideal, reaching the level he had envisioned.

Now that I have a new idea, I will definitely not let myself down.
