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

"The village gave Lady Tsunade this mission."

After looking at the mission scroll brought by Tamura Hao, Nara Shikaku instantly realized that it was not easy.

"Did those people see something and want to use this to attack me?"

Maybe those people saw the problem and deliberately created such a task.

"Tsunade-sensei has now given us the task. If we want to go there, we must at least pass through the Rain Country, or enter the territory of the Earth Country and the Wind Country."

Tamura Hao showed a slightly depressed expression. Although he had some ideas about the Star Ninja Village in the Bear Country, it was not easy to get there safely.

Not to mention that there is also a son of the Tsuchikage over there, who is a Kage-level strongman.

"We can only take the route to the Land of Grass and the Land of Earth. Something is wrong with the Sand Village recently, causing the Rain Village to be on full alert. It is impossible for us to get through with our strength."

Nara Shikaku rejected the two routes of River Country, Wind Country and Rain Country, and could only go to Grass Country and then pass through Earth Country.

"Well, Ding Zuo Haiyi and I will go with you."

After some thought, Nara Shikaku finally decided to go there in person.

This was a mission assigned by the Hokage and others, and there was no way they could refuse. Tsunade had a special status and could be shirked, but they had no choice but to do it.

But Xiao Hao himself is very important to them. He is the key point to contact Tsunade, and the future of their three tribes of Ino, Deer and Chou. He cannot be lost.

"Thank you so much, Lu Jiu brother."

Tian Cun Hao was overjoyed. With these three bodyguards, his safety was guaranteed. As long as he didn't encounter any too strong opponents, it would not be difficult to save his life.

"We are all family, there is no need to thank them."

Nara Shikaku smiled heartily. Although he was a person who didn't like trouble, it depended on who the person was.

He would definitely not refuse this kid's request as it brings so many benefits.

The scrolls copied back from the Thousand Hands Clan these days have dazzled my dad. He even slept in the secret vault. The old seniors in the clan are also squatting there to study.

"Wait a minute. I'll send a signal for Ding Zuo and Hai Yi to come over."

After saying this, Nara Shikaku found a special flare and shot it into the sky. Not long after, Yamanaka Inoichi came rushing over and immediately agreed after listening to Nara Shikaku's explanation.

"Brother Haiyi doesn't look too well. Is there something troubling you?"

As soon as Yamanaka Haiyi sat down, Tiancun Hao asked curiously.

"Alas, bad luck. I haven't found the secret technique that can help me break through."

With a sigh, Yamanaka Haidao found the crux of the problem. Their Yamanaka family mainly practiced the secret art of spiritual energy, which is Yin Dun, but the Senju family preferred Yang Dun, and there were very few people who practiced Yin Dun, so their Yamanaka family and Nara family gained less from this opportunity.

Of course, the gains themselves were huge, but no one had found the secret method to break through to the shadow level.

"Yin Dun is the most difficult to practice, and it is even more difficult to break through that step."

Nara Shikaku couldn't help but sigh, it was indeed too difficult.

"As for the secret arts of the spirit, I do know a way, but I don't know if you, Brother Haiyi, can make the decision."

Tian Cun Hao's mind moved and he had an idea.

"As long as we can break through that step, there is nothing we can't control."

Yamanaka Inoichi immediately became alert. During this period, he further understood this person's brain and did many things that shocked him.

This means there must be a way. As long as we can obtain the inheritance to break through that step, there will be no problem in doing anything, and the family will definitely fully support us.

"Brother Haiyi should know my teammate Shizune. Her uncle is Tsunade-sensei's boyfriend, Kato Dan. You should be familiar with him."

What Tamura Hao thought of was Kato Dan's spiritual transformation technique, and he had already asked Shizune, and there were indeed scrolls left by Kato Dan, including training notes.

"You mean the art of spiritualization?"

Shan Zhonghai reacted in an instant. As they were from the same spiritual secret art family and lived in the same village, he naturally knew the art of spiritualization. It was the secret art that was most compatible with their family's secret art, and it was at a higher level and involved the cultivation of the soul.

“Not only the Spiritualization Technique, but also the training notes left by Senior Kato Dan are now in Shizune’s hands.

However, the art of spiritualization is a secret art listed separately. It is difficult to practice it without a sufficient foundation. It is even more difficult to practice with Jingyin's talent. But if you have the secret art inheritance of the Yamanaka family as a foundation, you can improve step by step, and it will definitely be much easier to practice.

Similarly, the art of spiritualization can also drive the sublimation of the mountain's secret arts, especially the training notes of senior Kato Dan will definitely be of great help to Brother Haiyi.

If Brother Hai agrees, I can help you make the connection and complete this deal."

Resources must be used flexibly and their strengths must be leveraged to make up for their weaknesses in order to maximize their effectiveness, especially resources such as knowledge that can be infinitely replicated.

Yamanaka Inoichi seemed very excited. If he could really obtain the spiritualization technique and the training notes of senior Kato Dan, he would be confident that he could break through that step and become the first strong man in the history of the Yamanaka family to set foot in that field.

"Xiao Hao, will you marry Jingyin in the future?"

Nara Shikaku suddenly asked, the inheritance of secret techniques is the foundation of their three major families. Although the spiritualization technique is very tempting, some things still need to be seriously considered.

"Of course, I won't give up my position to anyone else."

Tiancun Hao answered decisively. This was something he had worked hard to cultivate over many years, so of course he had to marry her.

"That's no problem."

Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi looked at each other and smiled. It would be perfect if Shizue would become Xiaohao's wife in the future.

There are many intermarriages among the three families, and Shizune marrying into the Akimichi family is no different from marrying into the Yamanaka family.

"I'll leave this matter to you, Xiaohao."

Yamanaka Inoichi was even happier, this thing must be done.

"We are family and we don't have to talk about our own business. Brother Haiyi, your business is my business."

Tamura Hao also smiled. This way, they could further win over Yamanaka Inoichi and the Yamanaka family, making future plans more stable.

"It's a pity that it's hard to find a secret technique that's compatible with me. Otherwise, I could ask you, Xiao Hao, to help me with the planning."

Nara Shikaku sighed. The paths for Ding Zuo and Hai Yi were solved, but he himself had not found a way yet.

Tamura Hao thought for a moment and said, "The Nara family is indeed the only family in the entire ninja world that has shadow-type secrets, but there is also a reference. I heard from Grandpa Feng that the Uchiha family's Sharingan has a stronger form above the three magatama, which can materialize chakra into a huge war god.

During this period of time, I have read many secret inheritances of the Senju family. There is a saying that Yin Dun uses the Yin power that is sourced from the spiritual energy that controls imagination to create form from nothing.

Yang Dun is the power of Yang that takes the energy of the body that controls life as its source and gives life to form.

In other words, Yin Dun is more of a test of imagination. The Nara family's shadow secret technique has been developed to its limit. If you want to go further, I think you need to achieve a qualitative change."

"Qualitative change?"

Nara Shikaku became serious. Does this kid have any good ideas again?

"It further elevates the shadow's form change to something more complex, and further materializes it, breaking away from the limitation of needing to be attached to matter.

For example, by transforming into a human form and infusing it with thoughts, the shadow clone technique has complete intelligence. Can the shadow clone be integrated with the shadow secret technique to form a shadow secret clone that belongs exclusively to the Nara family?

Or maybe you can integrate the soul into the shadow, it can be the soul of an animal, it can also be the soul of a human, especially the soul of a ninja, it seems that there are sealing techniques that can seal the soul, it should be able to help..."

Tamura Hao talked about his creative ideas one by one, which were mainly inspired by some settings in the animated films of his previous life, such as the Black Shadow Corps in Jackie Chan Adventures, which was a setting that fit in well with the secret techniques of the Nara family.

Even in the next door One Piece, there is a character who plays with shadow. There are too many similar abilities, not to mention some characters in the game.

Nara Shikaku fell into deep thought, pondering the feasibility of those ideas.

Not long after, heavy footsteps were heard and Qiu Daodingzuo came running in, sweating profusely. As soon as he came in, he picked up the teapot on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

"What happened?"

After drinking a pot of tea, Qiu Daodingzuo felt alive again and immediately asked what had happened.

He had been working in the Death Forest before, and when he saw the specific flare here, he hurried back.

"The village gave us this mission, and Teacher Tsunade threw it to us."

Tamura Hao handed the mission scroll to Akimichi Choza and explained it briefly.

“To go somewhere so far away.”

He took the scroll, unfolded it and looked at it, his brows instantly frowned.

It's not a good place to stay there, mainly because it's far from the Fire Country. If you're targeted, it's hard to ask for help. It's quite dangerous, not to mention that it's a sensitive period, even the son of the Tsuchikage has gone to the border over there. "Those guys should have seen something."

Yamanaka Haiyi said that he also noticed some problems.

The demise of the Senju family caused a lot of problems back then, so the return of that person would naturally make some people feel uneasy.

Hearing this, Qiu Dao Ding Zuo sat down silently and took out the dried meat he brought with him and started to eat it.

"Okay, Xiaohao, if you can find a way through this, my brother's life will be yours from now on."

Suddenly, Nara Shikaku shouted excitedly, with a burning look in his eyes.

“Did I miss something?”

Qiu Daodingzuo was stunned. Did he miss something just now?

“You missed the big thing!”

Yamanaka Hai smiled and said that now the future paths for the three families had been resolved.

"I'm just offering some ideas. It's hard to say whether they will work or not. It's up to you guys, Lu Jiu, to figure it out."

Tamura Hao smiled modestly, and Nara Shikaku and the Nara family were considered stable.

"This is the kind of good idea we lack. If we had this kind of idea before, we wouldn't have to look at the Sarutobi family's faces all the time."

Nara Shikaku couldn't help but sigh. Even though the Ino, Shika, and Chou clans had always followed the Sarutobi clan, they were just lackeys in the eyes of the Sarutobi clan.

Especially during the Warring States Period, not only did they have to deliver a large amount of resources to the Sarutobi family, but they also had to go first when going into battle, and they suffered heavy losses every time.

The problem was that none of their three clans had strong people of that level. It was only because of Uncle Feng's breakthrough that their three clans were able to become slightly independent. Even this caused dissatisfaction among the Third Hokage.

This was also the reason why Uncle Qufeng resigned from the position of Hokage's advisor.

And now, their three major families of Ino, Shika and Chou finally have the hope of rising. Even if they cannot become top families like the Senju and Uchiha, they can at least be on par with big families like the Sarutobi and Shimura. In addition, their three families are of the same blood, which is enough for them to occupy a place in Konoha and the ninja world.

"Ding Zuo, Hai Yi, you don't have to go to work today. Have a good rest. We will accompany Xiao Hao and the others tomorrow.

I'll go and arrange the things on hand."

After saying that, Nara Shikaku left in a hurry. Yamanaka Inoue nodded to the two of them and also left in a hurry to find someone to hand over the matters in his hands.

It's not that they can't find people to accompany Xiaohao and the others to carry out this mission, but only the three of them and Uncle Qufeng know about Xiaohao's potential and importance, so this needs to be kept absolutely confidential.

There are too many people who don't want to see the rise of the Pig, Deer and Butterfly tribes. The fewer people who know about it, the better before Xiao Hao grows up.

They even excluded Xiao Hao from the Senshou Casino incident, showing that it was a collaboration between the three tribes of Ino, Deer and Butterfly and Lady Tsunade.

Qiu Daodingzuo also returned home, ready to have a big meal to make up for the weight he had lost in the past few days.

Naturally, Tamura Hao returned to the Senju clan's land. Now 90% of the Senju clan's land has become a construction site, and only the piece near the Hokage Cliff remains.

He called over Shizune and Might Guy who were training and told them about the mission.

"Great, this kind of person will definitely make my youth burn even more fiercely."

After hearing that the mission was to go abroad, Might Guy showed his two rows of white teeth and was very excited.

Shizune was worried, after all, it was a mission abroad, and the mission was to investigate the son of the Tsuchikage, so it was obviously dangerous.

"Tsunade-sensei isn't going with us?"

"Tsunade-sensei is busy right now, but I've asked Choza-san and the others to help. They are all elite jonin, and together they can fight against a Kage-level warrior without any problem."

Tiancun Hao comforted her, and then said seriously: "Jingyin, do you really want to practice the art of spiritualization?"

"I wonder what's the use. That's too difficult."

Speaking of Jingyin, she felt very depressed. Her uncle's secret inheritance had always been in her hands, and she had even memorized it a long time ago, but she couldn't practice it.

It is not enough to just have Yin attributes, but also requires sufficient talent and understanding.

He had some talent in medical ninjutsu, but not in Yin attributes.

“You should know that among the three of us, the Shanzhong family, Pig, Deer and Butterfly, is good at spiritual secret arts, and is highly compatible with the spiritualization technique. If you can practice the spiritual secret arts of the Shanzhong family first, it will definitely be much easier to practice the spiritualization technique in the future.

If you are willing, I can help you make a deal with the Yamanaka family."

Tiancun Hao said it very bluntly. He had raised this little Loli for so many years and confessed his feelings to her at school. She was his girlfriend and there was no need to beat around the bush.

"Is it really possible?"

Jingyin was pleasantly surprised. If she could obtain the secret technique of the Yamanaka family as a foundation, she would definitely be able to cultivate the spiritual technique in the future.

"This is a mutually beneficial exchange. Once you break through to that level, these secret techniques will be meaningless."

"Great!"

Shizue was very happy and even kissed her boyfriend on the face excitedly. Then she reacted and her pretty fair face turned red. She quickly retracted her face and lowered her head.

"Then it's settled. I'll let Brother Haiyi teach you the secret techniques of the mountains while we're on this mission."

Tamura Hao has settled the matter, so Shizune will be able to break through to the Kage level in the future. Together with Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Ino, Ichiaki Doza and the Ino-Shika-Chou clans, who dares to compete with me for the Fifth Hokage!
"Hao Jun, I have discussed with my father and would like to give you the Eight Gates of Dunjia as a reward for your teaching of the secret technique."

Might Guy remembered something and solemnly told his decision to his father.

During this period of time, he practiced the secret technique taught by Hao Jun, and his strength improved significantly.

Moreover, when Haojun was practicing in the past, he would also receive a portion of the Qiu Dao family's secret medicine for his own use. He has always remembered these favors.

"Since it's a return gift, I won't thank you. I just hope that we will never need to use the latter part of the forbidden technique."

Tamura Hao did not try to refuse in a pretentious manner. There was no need to refuse to accept the offer with a straightforward person like Might Guy, otherwise it would probably be very awkward.

He immediately started to learn the Eight Gates from Might Guy. With his physical fitness, it was not a problem for him to open the first three gates, and with his high level of comprehension, it was not difficult for him to master it.

They studied like this until late at night and after a good night's sleep, the three of them left the village early the next morning and headed for the Death Forest. Nara Shikaku and the other two were already waiting for them.

After the two sides met and nodded, they set off silently. They did not move very fast, trying to reduce consumption as much as possible. After all, they were still in the territory of the Fire Country at this stage and there would be basically no danger. They would have to be vigilant once they entered the Earth Country.

After walking for a day, the six people found a forest to rest when night fell. After seeing Yamanaka Inoichi using the secret perception technique to sense the surroundings, Tamura Hao began to guide the two people to trade.

"Senior Haiyi, this is the scroll left by my uncle. It also contains his training notes. I hope it can be helpful to you."

Jingyin took out a sealing scroll, which contained the inheritance left by her uncle.

In fact, there are not many, mainly the spiritualization technique, which is too high a level for her, and she may not be able to use it in her lifetime.

It might be good to use it for trading nowadays, and even Teacher Tsunade used her family inheritance to trade. Compared with the scale of Teacher Tsunade's transactions, mine is really nothing.

What Haojun said is very right, only strength is the most real. If you can't reach that level, it will be useless even if you preserve this inheritance.

"Don't call me senior, just call me Brother Haiyi. We are all family from now on."

Yamanaka Haiyi smiled kindly, then took out a sealed scroll and handed it to Shizune.

"Write down the secret techniques as soon as possible and burn them later. If you have any questions about cultivation in the future, you can come and ask me."

"Brother Haiyi!"

Jingyin heard the hidden meaning in the words and her pretty fair face immediately turned red, but she still called him brother.

"Call me brother from now on. If you have any problems, just come to me."

Nara Shikaku also showed a friendly smile, and Akimichi Choza even handed over a large bag of snacks.

Since this is Xiaohao's future wife, she is truly one of ours.

"Shikaku-nii-san! Choza-nii-san!"

Jingyin called him brother twice with a blushing face, but she felt sweet in her heart.

She already had a good impression of Haojun, and they were already boyfriend and girlfriend. It was inevitable that she would become his wife in the future, so these people would naturally be her relatives.

Tamura Hao was also in a good mood, and he gave half of the big bag of snacks that Akimichi Choza handed over to him to Might Guy.

This person is also a person with great potential, and behind him there is an old father who can open eight gates, who can save his life at the critical moment. (End of this chapter)
