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

Namikaze Minato was looking for Uchiha Obito, but Uchiha Obito had already run away.

Although the time was short, he had already used the Black and White Zetsu to find the Second Hokage who was controlled by Sarutobi Hiruzen to hide in the dark and monitor him, and used the Yin-Yang Release power left by Uchiha Madara to imprison him and take him away.

In this battle, Uzumaki Nagato's target was the tailed beasts, while his target was the teacher and Uzumaki Kyuubi.

Two bodies to be exact.

He first used the power of his own Hashirama cells to stimulate the Hashirama cell hearts of the other two, activated the remaining chakra inside, and barely repaired his body.

In fact, the focus of the previous distortion was on the neck, which is easy to repair, especially since both of them had Hashirama cells transplanted.

After doing all this, Uchiha Obito created a wooden clone, and the clone's palm turned into a wooden thorn and pierced into the heart, roughly pulling out a pierced heart. Complex spells could be seen flashing on the heart.

Uchiha Obito didn't feel much of such heart-wrenching pain, and even felt a sense of relief.

However, he knew that now was not the time to feel sentimental and he needed to complete the plan as soon as possible.

"Onigaura no Jutsu!"

He placed his hands on the bodies of the two men, and then used the Kidome no Kisara technique. The pitch-black substance wrapped around the two men's bodies, and then wrapped around Uchiha Obito's body as well, and finally merged into one.

Although the two bodies were just corpses without souls, they had just died and their body cells were still active. In addition, the three of them had Hashirama's cells in their bodies and even had the Sharingan, so there was a high degree of compatibility, so the fusion went smoothly.

Even the two remaining Nine-Tails sealed in the two people's bodies were integrated into it. Combined with the Yin-Yang escape power that Uchiha Madara left to Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Obito soon gained his own Yin-Yang escape power.

The missing heart was quickly replaced, it was not known whether it was Minato Namikaze's heart or Kushina Uzumaki's heart, and the wound on the heart was also repaired.

This was his plan, to remove the curse planted on his heart by Uchiha Madara, and at the same time merge with the bodies of his teacher and his wife, breaking free from the restraints while improving his own strength, killing two birds with one stone.

"Is this the power of immortal arts?"

Only when he first sensed the power of the celestial art did Uchiha Obito realize how powerful this power was. No wonder he could get such a huge improvement after achieving the sage mode.

Then nine golden chains extended from behind, which were the Vajra Blockade obtained from Uzumaki Jiupin.

Then a ball of golden light condensed in his hand, which was Namikaze Minato's light escape, and finally it was the Flying Thunder God Technique.

After obtaining these, Uchiha Obito's strength was greatly improved. The most important thing was his pair of Mangekyō Sharingan. It was no longer the previous Kamui pattern, but a new pattern was superimposed, which was Minato Namikaze's Mangekyō.

These are all fused together by the Guiya Luo technique. Although the fusion is still unstable now, it can be maintained with the help of Yin Yang Escape to balance it out. After that, it will only take continuous adjustment with Yin Yang Escape.

"Teacher, I will create a world with you all."

After feeling the new power, Uchiha Obito murmured to himself.

He was actually quite conflicted and hesitant about killing the teacher before. If the teacher hadn't been blocking his way, he really didn't want to do it.

"Uchiha Madara, I will show you who is the chess player among us, and you will stay in the netherworld forever."

When Uchiha Obito thought of Uchiha Madara who had set everything up for him, his heart was filled with hatred.

He is not a fool. He has been thinking about what happened in the past over the years and found something wrong. Lin's death must be related to it.

But none of this matters anymore. I will definitely make it to the end and create a world with Lin.

This real world is too dark and dirty, and there is no need for it to exist. In the new world, everyone will get the life they want, and everyone will be happy and content.

After calming down, Uchiha Obito put his clothes back on and used Kamui to return to a location ten miles away from Konoha. He merged his body into a big tree, hid himself, and watched quietly.

The strength displayed by Konoha was very powerful, but it was impossible to defeat the current Uzumaki Nagato.

Even if that Hinata Hiashi had improved, it would still be impossible.

"Obito, where have you been? I didn't sense you just now."

Black Zetsu popped his head out from the ground, showing a look of confusion, but actually he was quite surprised inside.

He sensed the difference in Uchiha Obito. Even though the other party used Wood Release Chakra to cover his entire body, he was still able to sense it a little and had some guesses in his mind.

My father's prediction was right. This chess piece was unwilling to be just a chess piece. It wanted to break away from its identity as a chess piece and become a chess player.

Uchiha Obito did not answer, but asked: "What's going on with that Hyuga Hiashi? Why did his strength suddenly improve?"

That Hyuga Hiashi was the biggest variable in their plan this time. If it weren't for that Hyuga Hiashi, those few people alone would never be able to contend against Nagato who was exerting his full strength.

"I don't know. You know, the insight of the Byakugan is beyond the Sharingan. The Samsara Eye is the evolution of the Byakugan, and its insight is even stronger. White Zetsu and I dare not get close to it."

Black Zetsu showed his helplessness, thinking that the other party was too restrained towards them.

But he knew in his heart that it must be the work of Hamura secretly guiding, and perhaps Hamura planned to train Hinata Hiashi into a new body for his coming.

At that time, the bodies of Yuyi and Hamura aged and decayed, and only their eyes were preserved.

It is unclear what the pair of Rinnegan that belonged to Hagoromo were, but Hamura's Rinnegan was passed down to his son and daughter, thus forming two giant Rinnegan.

One is used to maintain the barrier ecology inside the moon, and the other is used to maintain the caged bird seal of the Hyuga clan.

Now that Otsutsuki Toneri has been captured and devoured by them, and Hyuga Hinata has also been taken away, Hamura must choose a new carrier, and Hyuga Hiashi is the only choice now.

"It seems that we won't be able to get the Nine-Tailed Fox this time. Have you locked down the location of the Thousand Hands Orange Water?"

Looking at the Konoha Village in the distance, Uchiha Obito asked about the whereabouts of Senju Orange Water.

At this stage, it is necessary to improve Uzumaki Nagato's strength so that he can defeat Konoha, Shimura Danzo, and the unfathomable Kumogakure Village.

Therefore, those tailed beasts that are wandering around must be captured as soon as possible.

"It's in a strange continent hidden overseas. There are no ninjas there, and they don't even know chakra."

Black Zetsu replied, this is quite a coincidence, the continent where Thousand Hands Orange Water is hiding is the place where the Book of Grayer was discovered that year, and no one knows how Thousand Hands Orange Water found that place.

"A continent where ninjas don't exist?"

Uchiha Obito wondered, is there such a place in the world?

"It can't really be called a continent. It's not that big, about the same size as the Tea Kingdom. It's just that the surrounding sea environment is very harsh, and ordinary ships can't pass through it."

"It's a good place to hide, but unfortunately this world is too small."

Uchiha Obito didn't care much and continued to pay attention to Konoha.

Nagato is quite paranoid and will definitely not give up until the very end. He also has the Outer Path Demon Statue in his body and he swallowed the Seven-Tails before, so he has plenty of chakra and can hold on for a long time.

After this battle, Konoha will once again become a ruin.

I have to say that Konoha is really evil. It has been destroyed again and again, and no one knows when it will be destroyed again.

The battle situation in Konoha was indeed at a stalemate. The fighting was fierce, but no one could do anything to anyone.

Uzumaki Nagato is too powerful, especially after activating the Rinnegan chakra mode, he becomes even stronger than before.

But Orochimaru and the others cooperated very well, especially with the powerful Hyuga Hiashi as the main attacker, even Uzumaki Nagato found it difficult to find any opportunities.

In addition, when Minato Namikaze saw that he could not sense the existence hidden in the dark, he took decisive action.

Although he is dead, he was resurrected by a clone, so his condition is infinitely close to that when he was alive. Coupled with his almost infinite chakra, the combat power he displayed is even more powerful than when he was alive.

Even Black Zetsu, who was hiding in the dark and watching, had to wonder if it was Hagoromo who secretly manipulated Obito to kill Namikaze Minato, so that he could be resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation and show stronger combat power. This in turn enhanced Konoha's strength and could better protect the growth of Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke.

With the blessing of infinite chakra, the performance of Uzumaki Kyuubi is also very powerful, comparable to the state of having the Nine-Tailed Fox on his body. Although he no longer has the Tailed Beast Ball, he has the Rasengan.

This is not over yet. Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi also rushed to join the battle, and both of them activated Susanoo to attack.

They only have divine power like Susanoo that can join that level of battle, and the eye techniques are ineffective against Uzumaki Nagato who possesses the Rinnegan and the Outer Path Demon Statue.

Fortunately, both of them have transplanted Hashirama's cells and Uzumaki's cells to complete their bloodlines. Although they are still unable to activate Susanoo to its complete form, they are very close. Coupled with the blessing of fairy arts, their power is not weak.

In the end, even Danzo Shimura came. Although the Black Lotus of Destruction was destroyed, it could still supply enough dark chakra, and the combat power he displayed was equally strong.

The battle lasted until nightfall, and Nagato Uzumaki was unable to defeat them and had no choice but to retreat. The main reason was that Hyuga Hiashi was too strong and his strength was not much worse than his own.

Especially since the opponent's chakra was very different from the chakra of other people in the ninja world, his own Rinnegan could not absorb it.

Seeing that Uzumaki Nagato finally retreated, several people breathed a sigh of relief. However, looking at Konoha which had become a ruin and the surrounding terrain that had been changed on a large scale, they all felt extremely heavy.

This time was different from the last time when they were prepared to deal with the Otsutsuki relic. This time they were really attacked by surprise and there was no time to evacuate everyone.

At least half of the villagers died in this battle, which was undoubtedly a further blow to Konoha, which had already suffered considerable losses.

Especially since Minato Namikaze and Uzumaki Kyupin died in a battle once, and now they can only exist in the state of Impure World Reincarnation, this is an immeasurable loss.

"Danzo, aren't you going to explain the matter of Uzumaki Nagato?"

The exhausted Jiraiya was also very annoyed. Uzumaki Nagato came for revenge. It was Shimura Danzo who destroyed the Hidden Rain Village and killed Hanzo of the Salamander. This made Uzumaki Nagato hate their Konoha so much. This was the third time he attacked Konoha, and no one knew when the next time would be.

With such a powerful enemy around, does the village still have a future?
"What explanation do you want? Is it the identity of Uzumaki Nagato and the Uzumaki clan? Or is it the identity of the disciple of Hanzo, the leader of the Hidden Rain Village?
If you want to explain, you should go to your good teacher, he is the Hokage."

Shimura Danzo sneered, then turned and flew away.

They had been enemies of Uzumaki Nagato for a long time, and they were hostile to each other in terms of stance. It was not wrong for him to strike first back then.

It’s a pity that too many things happened and he failed to snatch Uzumaki Nagato’s eyes, otherwise he would have accomplished his great goal long ago.

"Jiraiya-sensei!"

Minato Namikaze came over and comforted him, but looking at his disciple's reincarnated appearance, Jiraiya became even more annoyed and guilty.

Perhaps it was really himself who dragged down Minato and the village. If it weren't for himself, Minato might have already become the village's Hokage and would definitely have brought changes to the village.

Soon more bad news came. An Anbu ninja rushed over and whispered something in Jiraiya's ear, which made Jiraiya's face change drastically.

"what happened?"

Several people looked over there, realizing that something big might have happened again.

"The Second Hokage was snatched away by the other side."

Jiraiya scratched his head, feeling very troubled by this. It was obvious that the other party's purpose in coming here was not just to get the Seven-Tailed Fox and the Nine-Tailed Fox.

"Thousand Hands Orange Water!"

Orochimaru understood and realized that Uzumaki Nagato must have set his sights on Senju Orange Water. If he wanted to find Senju Orange Water, he would have to rely on the Second Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique. If he wanted to restrain her, he would also need the Second Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique.

Senju Orange Water's Flying Thunder God Technique was obtained by fusing the second generation's cells, and only the second generation Hokage can suppress it.

Senju Orange Water has the Eight-Tails in his hands, and he also snatched the Six-Tails in that battle. It is normal for him to be targeted by Uzumaki Nagato.

"Lord Orochimaru, do you know the whereabouts of the Senju Orange Water?"

Minato Namikaze also guessed this and turned to look at Orochimaru.

"Qian Shou Cheng Shui was very wary of me back then, even repulsive. We didn't interact much, and I don't know where I am now."

Orochimaru really didn't know the whereabouts of Senju Orange Water, and they didn't have much contact.

"That's troublesome. The next time that person comes, he will definitely be even more powerful."

Uchiha Shisui, who was also tired, had a headache. The strength displayed by that person this time was so terrifying that they all went into battle but failed to defeat him.

If he can digest the Seven-Tailed Fox and then take down the Six-Tailed Fox and the Eight-Tailed Fox, his strength will definitely increase further. Next time he comes, he won't know how to fight.

"This is not the way to go."

Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru, hoping that his good friend could come up with a solution.

"This is the progress of the times. Konoha has stagnated and should have been eliminated long ago. The fact that it has been able to hold on until now is already its limit.

Just like when the first generation opened the Ninja Village era, all the ninja clans that did not join the Ninja Village would wither and die, even the Uzushio Village was destroyed, and now it is just Konoha's turn."

Orochimaru had no way to deal with this. It was a gap in hard power, and it could not be reversed by relying on strategy.

Although he has some plans of his own, he won't tell them out.

"How can you say that so callously?"

Jiraiya was dissatisfied, this is the village where you were born and raised.

Orochimaru was too lazy to argue with that idiot and turned away.

The destruction of the village this time would not have much impact on him. His own laboratory was not in the village anyway, and how many people died in the village was not something he should care about. Even if Konoha was really destroyed, it would not affect him.

He was more concerned about the progress of Danzo Shimura and Nagato Uzumaki in capturing the tailed beasts. Danzo Shimura now possesses four tailed beasts, and the chakras of the nine tailed beasts should have been gathered.

Uzumaki Nagato possessed two tailed beasts, and the Four Tailed Beast must have been inside that thing for a long time.

Now that he has obtained the Impure World Reincarnation of the Second Hokage, it is only a matter of time before he finds and captures the Senju Orange Water, and in this way he will also possess the four tailed beasts.

Add to that the largest village, the Hidden Cloud Village, and the next few years will inevitably be a battle between these three parties. In particular, there will inevitably be a battle between Danzo Shimura and Nagato Uzumaki, and only one of them will survive.

He was very interested in the rivalry between the two and had some plans for it.

Hinata Hiashi, who had always had a cold face, looked at Jiraiya coldly and turned and left.

He was also very annoyed with Jiraiya, who kept saying that he was doing it for the village, but in fact, in his heart, his teacher's kindness came before the village.

It is precisely because of Jiraiya's existence that their group is not perfect. Otherwise, they would have eliminated that old man Sarutobi Hiruzen and taken charge of Konoha long ago, and there wouldn't be so many troubles now.

Now, the village was destroyed again, Fugaku-kun died in the battle, and their group was weakened again. However, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not participate in the war, and did not even arrange for the Impure World Reincarnation army to come, and still maintained its prime condition.

However, what gave him the most headache were Danzo Shimura and Nagato Uzumaki. Even the Hidden Cloud Village was not as threatening as those two.

From the memories of his deceased wife Otsutsuki Miyu, he learned many secrets, including the nature of the Rinnegan and the Samsara Eye, and the origins of the Ten Tails and the Nine Tailed Beasts.

Now Danzo Shimura and Nagato Uzumaki are both collecting the tailed beasts. Even Nagato Uzumaki has a pair of Rinnegan. Danzo Shimura's dark chakra is also terrifying.

If one of these two were to gather all the tailed beasts, revive the Ten Tails, and become the Ten Tails' Jinchūriki, no one in the Ninja World would be able to resist. Not even the Hidden Cloud Village, which has the strongest overall strength, would be able to resist.

Although the Hidden Cloud Village appears to be strong nowadays, it has a fatal weakness, which is those world fairy trees.

He knew very well what the nature of those sacred trees was. As long as someone became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, he could control those sacred trees in turn and destroy the Hidden Cloud Village easily.

So the most dangerous ones are Danzo Shimura and Nagato Uzumaki, especially Nagato Uzumaki.

"Is Konoha really going to be eliminated?"

Jiraiya was also very disappointed. After working so hard for so long, was the village finally unable to hold on?

"There will always be a way."

Namikaze Minato comforted him, but he was very distressed in his heart.

The current situation is extremely unfavorable for them. Not only does the Ninja Alliance hate them, but Danzo Shimura and Nagato Uzumaki are also hiding in the dark and eyeing them covetously.

This is a dead end with no solution!
"Shimura Danzo's condition seemed to be a little off. He wasn't as strong as last time. And Uzumaki Nagato came to attack at this time. Maybe something big happened that we don't know about."

Uzumaki Jiupin suddenly spoke up and revealed a discovery.

Her perception was much stronger than her husband's, and coupled with her hatred for Danzo Shimura, she had paid more attention to him before and made the unusual discovery.

"Something is indeed wrong. Perhaps Shimura Danzo has done something again."

Minato Namikaze turned his head and looked towards the northwest, which was the direction of the continent. He guessed that the incident might have happened there.
