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

The liver that is not his own is definitely not a good liver. Even with the help of medication, the rejection reaction still makes Tian Cun Hao feel uncomfortable. He feels as if his body has been hollowed out.

However, in order to become Hokage in the future, he gritted his teeth and endured it.

After all, he is still too young to become the Fourth Hokage. He can only push the fat sheep teacher to take the position of the Fourth Hokage, so that he can smoothly take the position of the Fifth Hokage in the future.

Otherwise, if Minato Namikaze became the Fourth Hokage, it would take him an unknown amount of time to become the Fifth Hokage.

What worries him most is that he won’t be able to wait until then, which would be a big deal.

He lay in bed for half a month, and finally could not lie still any longer, so he went to the laboratory to study the body cells of the ape demon.

As early as when he was sealed in the pyramid, Yamanaka Inoichi had already searched out the memory of the Monkey King, and then Tamura Hao sealed him with sand and suffocated him to death. His psychic state was sealed by the power of the One-Tail.

Afterwards, out of concern, they added another layer of contract seal to preserve its body.

At that time, Yamanaka Haiyi shared the memory fragments about cultivation with him. He has been thinking about this for the past half month.

The monkey clan is considered a large clan in the spiritual world, second only to the three holy places. They also have their own secret technique of absorbing natural energy for cultivation.

However, the monkey clan's cultivation and application of natural energy is far inferior to that of the three holy places. They are unable to integrate it into fairy chakra, and can only slowly integrate it into the body to strengthen the body and cultivate the kind of indestructible body.

Of course, this is also due to blood talent, but acquired training is also indispensable.

Even if you don't have blood talent, as long as you can practice that kind of secret technique, you can greatly strengthen your body.

With the help of the golden finger, Tian Cun Hao has almost comprehended that method of cultivation in the past half month. Now he needs to cooperate with the body of the ape demon to further comprehend it and see if he can modify it so that he can practice it himself.

After studying like this for more than ten days, someone suddenly came to visit.

"It's really a monkey demon."

A sigh came from behind him. Tian Cun Hao turned his head and saw a middle-aged man with white hair.

"Jiraiya-senpai."

Tamura Hao stood up and greeted the visitor, who turned out to be Jiraiya.

"Don't get up. Sit still. You are still injured."

Jiraiya pushed the boy back into his chair and fixed his gaze on the boy.

"I didn't expect Tsunade to be able to teach such an outstanding disciple."

He had heard from Minato about this kid, and he was indeed very good, even better than Minato in some aspects.

And with the support of the Ino, Deer and Butterfly families and the Senju family, future achievements will definitely be higher.

Moreover, this child is able to sacrifice himself to save others. He is indeed the best among the younger generation, and no one can match him. It is most appropriate for him to become the Fifth Hokage.

Unfortunately……

"Can't I teach such an excellent disciple?"

A figure walked in and expressed his dissatisfaction.

It was Tsunade who returned.

This period was not easy for her. She had to take care of the laboratory and participate in the war. It can be said that she was running on both ends.

Especially the Sand Village Ninja Army's continuous attacks like crazy, which made her extremely annoyed.

"You heard me wrong. I meant that only you can teach such an outstanding disciple."

Jiraiya changed his words decisively. He didn't dare to talk back to this person. He was almost traumatized by the beating he received before.

Not to mention that she came here for a purpose this time, and this violent woman was still angry.

After glaring at someone, Tsunade walked over to observe the liver in the nutrient tank.

Although the traitor's life force was added to assist, after all, it was regenerated using only a few liver cells, so there would inevitably be deviations, and careful guidance was needed.

"Is that the liver that was cultivated for you?"

Jiraiya watched for a while and asked, Minato told him the details of what happened at that time, and even asked Yamanaka Inoichi for his memory fragments after he woke up, and knew that the child had been robbed of his liver by his teacher's summoning beast.

That's an important organ. The child looks so sick now, I guess it's a liver problem.

"Well, it was cultured using my liver cells. The original liver can no longer be repaired."

Tian Cun Hao nodded, with a hint of resentment in his words.

Jiraiya naturally heard this hint of resentment, and scratched his head, feeling very troubled.

"Back then, Shinnosuke actually acted on his own initiative. The old man didn't know about it. After he found out, he immediately labeled Shinnosuke a traitor."

Although he didn't want to speak, Jiraiya still opened his mouth to explain.

"If you're here to lobby for that old man, get out."

Tsunade's voice grew colder, not wanting to hear about that old guy again.

This reaction immediately made Jiraiya look bitter. He knew this would happen.

After all, the deaths of Rope Tree and Dan were problematic, causing Tsunade to leave the village for several years. Now that something like this has happened again, it's normal for her to feel angry.

"Senior Jiraiya, you just got here. You haven't eaten yet, right? I'll take you to our cafeteria. The food here is very good."

Tian Cun Hao stood up and invited him. Since this person came, he would naturally have to fool him well.

"Then I have to try it carefully. The dishes that your Qiu Dao family has introduced in the restaurant over the years are so famous. It's a pity that I have never had the chance to taste them."

Jiraiya touched his belly and naturally would not refuse.

The two left the laboratory and came to the cafeteria. Although it was not meal time, the cafeteria was open 24 hours a day, so the dishes were not as rich as those at meal time.

There was no one in the cafeteria. The two of them ordered two large plates and went to a corner to eat and chat.

"The old man really had no involvement in that incident. He only found out about it afterwards."

After chatting for a while, Jiraiya brought up the matter again. There was nothing Tsunade could say, so now all they could do was leave it to this kid.

Tsunade thinks highly of this little guy.

"Is there a difference?"

Tamura Hao asked back, leaving Jiraiya stunned.

"If the Hokage really wants to apologize, he should not come to us with a casually written wanted poster, but send us Sarutobi Shinnosuke's head.

All we want now is to see Sarutobi Shinnosuke's head. Either he sends it to us, or our people find Sarutobi Shinnosuke and chop him off.

But I don't think we can find him. After all, with the Hokage helping to cover up, how could we possibly find him? He might even be hiding in the village right now."

Tamura Hao was very determined, and his resentment became more and more intense.

"Sarutobi Shinnosuke is definitely not in the village. I can guarantee that."

Jiraiya said helplessly that he had returned to the village before and Sarutobi Shinnosuke had indeed been kicked out by the teacher.

"Jiraiya-senpai, are you pretending not to know, or do you really not know?"

Tamura Hao put on a mocking expression.

"I am their main target because I want to become the Fifth Hokage and have the potential to become the Fifth Hokage. With the support of Sensei Tsunade and my family, plus my talent and strength, my hope is great.

But this is not what some people want. They may have already reserved the Fifth Hokage for him, just as they have now reserved the Fourth Hokage for Minato-senpai.

Maybe the Fifth Hokage was Sarutobi Shinnosuke, or Asuma, or their children, so they could not tolerate other competitors and killed them to persecute them.

Just like Tsunade’s brother and boyfriend, they all died inexplicably, and even Nawaki died under the nose of Senior Orochimaru.

And what happened to Senior Bai Ya in the past. Now it’s just my turn, and I don’t know who will be the next one.

Even if Senior Minato is not obedient enough, he might be the next one.

The village can't go on like this, otherwise it will be completely swallowed up by the darkness. Something must change.

As long as Senior Minato is determined, we will fully support him, even if it means starting a war in the village."

Tiancun Hao made a firm statement, saying that he would be irreconcilable with those people. This is also the current attitude of their three tribes of Pig, Deer and Butterfly.

Jiraiya felt even more headache after hearing these words and attitude. He felt that this kid was even harder to convince than Tsunade.

Tsunade didn't give the kid a chance to speak, and there was no way to convince him.

"Let's get back to Shinnosuke's matter."

“Shinnosuke must die, because if he wants to return to the village, he must destroy our three tribes of Ino, Deer, and Chow. Only in this way can we turn things around and finally make a big thing small, and a small thing nothing.

Letting him die is not only for revenge, but also for the future of our three clans. We don't want to be stared at by them all the time." This time, Tamura Hao did not speak, but Nara Shikaku who came over answered.

“Does it have to go that far?”

Jiraiya sighed, how did it turn out like this?
"We just want to make sure that something like this doesn't happen again. Or maybe Jiraiya-sama will give a promise. Can you give a promise?"

Nara Shikaku asked back, leaving Jiraiya silent. This was really hard to guarantee, and there was no way to guarantee it.

Just as he didn't know that Sarutobi Shinnosuke would do such a thing, God knows what Sarutobi Shinnosuke will do in the future.

It is even hard to say how many similar characters there are in the Sarutobi family.

"Senior Jiraiya, Konoha belongs to everyone. It is not the private property of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Sarutobi family, or certain people. I hope you understand this."

Tamura Hao followed up with this, causing Jiraiya to fall silent once again.

"I'm really not suited to doing this kind of thing. Eat, eat, eat. The food here is much better than ours."

Finally he chose to give up and Jiraiya continued eating.

Since I can't complete the task given by the teacher, then just don't do it. He can't take care of things at this level. I came here just to give it a try.

"We brought these chefs from the Qiu Dao family. Their cooking skills are beyond reproach."

Nara Shikaku smiled, as long as this immortal stood on that side, it would be fine.

After finishing the meal, Jiraiya followed the two of them and strolled around the castle, talking about their mission.

“The village has stretched its battle lines too far. The Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Mist Village have also launched an all-out attack. Although they are fighting on multiple fronts, the main forces are all here.

If we continue like this, we will definitely be dragged down. We must first solve the problem along the way. Taking all factors into consideration, the Sand Village is the easiest to solve."

The village is now fighting on four fronts, which is too much pressure. The Iwagakure Village and the Sand Village seem to have formed an alliance, and no war has broken out between them. This makes it very difficult to deal with.

"It's very easy to end the war here. All we have to do is kill Luo Sha."

Nara Shikaku also believed that their front line was the easiest to end. The key point lay with Rasa, who was also the initiator of this Ninja World War.

The other party wants to use the war to become the Fourth Kazekage, and will not stop fighting until his goal is achieved.

"Minato told me about that Luo Sha. I came here this time to help you surround and kill that man."

Jiraiya's expression became more serious. This was his main mission this time, and lobbying was just a side job.

"We were also thinking of counterattacking. We originally wanted to wait until Xiao Hao recovered from his injuries before taking action. Now with the participation of Lord Jiraiya, our chances of winning will be even greater."

Nara Shikaku also wanted to end the war here as soon as possible so that they would have an excuse to support other fronts and gain achievements.

The three of them walked forward while talking, and soon arrived at Akimichi Toukou's dormitory.

"Senior Qufeng."

After coming in, Jiraiya saluted respectfully. This man was his teacher's classmate and teammate, truly his predecessor.

"Isn't Minato coming?"

Akimichi Tofu, who was looking at the map, looked up and was slightly disappointed to see that only Jiraiya came.

"Minato is in charge of the Grass Country, and he can't do without people there either."

"Has he thought about what I said? If he still can't make a decision, we can only contact your teammate. The time has come for the village to change.

I must do these things well while I am alive, otherwise I will not be able to face my two teachers after I die."

Qiu Dao Qu Feng expressed his attitude in a very serious and even solemn manner.

"Orochimaru is not a good choice."

Jiraiya was shocked. If the Ino, Shika, and Chou clans supported Orochimaru, it would be even more difficult for Minato to compete to become the fourth generation.

"Orochimaru is indeed not a perfect choice, but Namikaze Minato is not perfect either, and Orochimaru is at least decisive enough.

The village needs a Hokage who can be independent, not a puppet of certain people to protect their own interests.

And the darkness in the village must be eradicated, otherwise the future will be disastrous."

Akimichi Nofu has also been thinking about this matter for the past month. He has not discussed this matter with Shikaku and others, but just thinks in his own way. In this way, he can perfectly cover up the plans of Shikaku and others and deceive Hiruzen and others.

"Does it have to be like this?"

Jiraiya was worried that if this continued, the village would be flooded with blood.

“Because they have changed. They did it sincerely for the village back then, but now it has become an excuse for them to do anything with a clear conscience.

Haven’t there been many people who have been murdered by them over the years?
The big tree of Konoha has been corroded and decayed a lot. If the rotten parts are not cut off, the whole tree will collapse.

This is the mistake of our generation, and I must put an end to it, so as not to pass on the disaster to you, the new generation."

Thinking back to the time when they were together, Qiu Dao Qu Feng couldn't help but feel sad.

What a change!
"I can still hold on for another year or two. You still have time to think about it. Give me the answer as soon as possible."

After the final reminder, Akimichi Toukou continued to look at the map, thinking about the war.

Jiraiya bowed silently and then left the room. Tamura Hao and Nara Shikaku also followed suit.

“These are all headaches.”

Walking out of the dormitory, Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that it would not be easy since he came here.

"The current situation is very clear. Our three tribes, Ino, Deer and Butterfly, will not support a puppet. Now only Uncle Qufeng still advocates supporting Minato-kun. Deep down in his heart, he still wants to seek stability and change the village with the least sacrifice."

Nara Shikaku understood that person's thoughts very well, and he also understood that the old man wanted to use this to cover for them.

Lady Tsunade's clue cannot be exposed for the time being, so as to avoid being targeted by those people in advance.

Let Minato Namikaze and Orochimaru take the lead and attract those people's attention.

"Senior Jiraiya, based on your understanding of Senior Minato, would he really be willing to be a puppet and be controlled by those people?
Given the physical condition of those people, it would not be a problem for them to live another 20 to 30 years, which means that they will definitely suppress Senior Minato for the next 20 to 30 years.

Moreover, Senior Minato is almost a lone man, and there is no one he can trust in the village, so even if he wants to do something, he can't do it.

Would Minato-senpai really be willing to do this?

Besides, facing the dark side of the village, can he really turn a blind eye and ignore it?
Based on my understanding of Senior Minato, he will definitely not accept this and will certainly seek external assistance. The only external assistance he can find is from the major ninja clans, the Hyuga and the Uchiha. This will definitely not be allowed by those people, so Senior Minato will be in great danger at that time.

Those people are willing to kill a child like me for the sake of their own interests in the next twenty or thirty years. It is not impossible for them to kill Minato-senpai as well.

The Third Kazekage of the Sand Village was murdered by his own people and turned into a human puppet. Senior Minato may be the next one."

Tamura Hao said this with a serious face, which made Jiraiya's expression serious as well.

Although this statement is gloomy, it does make sense. After all, there are vivid examples right in front of us.

Back then, they had only suspicions about the matter of Sheng Shu and Duan, but no evidence. But now there is real evidence about this child's matter, and even the teacher's summoning beast, the Ape Demon, is lying in the laboratory.

He can trust his teacher, but he has to consider his own disciples. In some cases, one should be prepared for the worst.

"I'll talk to Minato when we get back."

Scratching his head, Jiraiya could only write down these words and talk to Minato about them when he returned to see what choice Minato would make.

There are some things he doesn't want to face, but he has to face them.

"Oh, by the way, I brought you some supplements this time. These herbs are all grown in Myoboku Mountain. They are much better than those outside. There is also a magical medicine in it."

Suddenly remembering something, Jiraiya took out a sealing scroll from the ninja tool bag behind him.

"Thank you, Jiraiya-senpai."

Tamura Hao did not act pretentiously and took the sealing scroll. At the same time, he was very interested in the medicinal herbs produced in Myoboku Mountain.

I wonder how it compares to the fairy lotus seeds from the Fire Temple.

He already knew that the fairy lotus in the Fire Temple was a medicinal herb that possessed very strong life energy. That was why it had to be infused with life force in order to allow it to take root and sprout.

He had always wanted to study the medicinal plants of the three holy places, but unfortunately, no vegetation grew in the Wet Bone Forest due to the acid of the Slug Immortal.

Now that we have obtained the medicinal herbs from Myōboku Mountain, we naturally have to study them carefully, and even turn them into nutrients for the fairy lotus to see if we can enhance the efficiency of absorbing natural energy.

"Take good care of your injuries. The future of the village belongs to you young people."

Jiraiya is very optimistic about this young man. When he grows up, he will definitely not be weaker than Minato in the future, and may even be stronger.

Seeing these young people continue to show their talents, he feels very happy and relieved. This is how the village can be passed down from generation to generation.
