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

The information about the village being raided soon reached the front line. Huang Tu was very angry after reading it, but he finally held it in and called everyone to a meeting to discuss the matter.

"Damn Konoha!"

After seeing this, the hot-tempered Iron Hercules smashed the table in front of him with one punch, and he couldn't wait to rush over there and start killing people.

"It has been confirmed that Tamura Hao has arrived in our war zone, and we will definitely see him on the battlefield next time.

Senior Zi, I'm afraid he will become your opponent, are you sure?"

Huang Tu looked at Zi. He attached great importance to Tamura Hao, who was equivalent to a tailed beast jinchūriki.

"Based on the information from the Sand Village and the methods he demonstrated in the raid on our village this time, I will not be able to break through his blockade in a short period of time on the battlefield.

But I am sure that he should be the one who lured me out of the village and ambushed me with the detonating talisman. He also has the ability to condense the Tailed Beast Ball, but he is just slower and smaller. He is a very dangerous person.

I suggest sending Feidiao over. The Five-Tails in him should be willing to deal with Konoha and that Tamura Hao, and take back the stolen power."

Zi gave his own suggestion. He and Fei were from the same period and became the Jinchūriki of the Tailed Beasts almost at the same time. He sealed the Four Tails and Fei sealed the Five Tails, but Fei has always been a little worse than the others.

But now, under the stimulation of the life-and-death crisis, he has entered a complete tailed beast state. His use of the power of the Five Tails will inevitably be greatly improved, just like what he did in the beginning. This time, sending Fei here will definitely be able to show strength beyond his limits, and even fully transform into a tailed beast again.

"Let it boil."

Huang Tu thought about it and felt that this plan was very risky because the village still needed the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki to assist his father and guard against the Hidden Cloud Village, especially the surprise attack from the Third Raikage.

They suffered heavy losses last time, and even the Five-Tails Jinchuriki was almost killed by the Hell's Spear of the Third Raikage.

Although my father's Dust Release was powerful, the Third Raikage was too fast, and he had to be restrained head-on by a strong man. That was why the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, who was better at physical combat, was left in the village to assist my father.

"I agree with Yukari's proposal. The advice given by the Sand Village is very clear. During the negotiation, they will hold back the strong men on the front line of Konoha, especially Tsunade who has the ability to fly quickly.

Once the peace talks are over, Tsunade will definitely be dispatched here, and there's even the possibility that the Ino, Deer, and Chou clans will be dispatched here as well. At that time, no one of us will be able to fight Tsunade in the air, and I'm afraid we'll have to ask the Tsuchikage-sama to come over, which will be even more troublesome."

Bakuton Karu agreed with Zi's suggestion and thought about more.

Now there is only Tamura Hao who has stolen the power of the tailed beast and is considered a pseudo-jinchūriki. The one who will come later is Tsunade.

That is a powerful existence that can fight against the complete form of Seven-Tails. It even cut off Seven-Tails' horns and has super-fast flying ability. It is too tricky.

At this stage in their Iwagakure Village, only the Tsuchikage-sama can compete with him in the air, and it is difficult for others to keep up with that speed.

"I will write a letter later to request that Fei be transferred over. Well, to be on the safe side, Han should be transferred over as well."

Huangtu finally agreed. Now they were racing against time. They had to defeat the Konoha Ninja Army here and penetrate into the Land of Fire before the Sand Village and Konoha completed the peace talks.

Otherwise, once the Konoha strongmen from the River Country front arrive, it will be difficult for them to fight.

But to be on the safe side, Fei's son had to be brought along.

Fei's talent and strength are inferior to Zi's, and he is always one step slower in developing the power of the Five-Tails. He was almost seriously injured by the Third Raikage when he surrounded and killed him last time, so he must be well prepared this time.

If Fei is seriously injured and difficult to treat, the Five Tails will be transferred to Han's body.

After all, Konoha has a record of killing the One-Tailed Jinchuriki, and he was killed in the desert.

You have to know that the One-Tailed Jinchuriki is almost perfect. He can enter the complete tailed beast state independently and his strength is extremely terrifying.

But such a strong man was still killed by Konoha's strong men, and even One-Tail was killed.

This time, he even broke one of Wuwei's horns, forcing people to be on guard.

Of course, they also made a backup plan for Zi, just in case.

Fortunately, the tailed beasts hated being captured and sold by the first Hokage, and they were very proactive in fighting against Konoha. For such a long time, the Four Tails have performed very stably on the front line and have never gone berserk.

I think the same goes for the Five-Tails, not to mention that its power was stolen this time. The Five-Tails must want to take that power back.

They continued to discuss the next battle, and then Huangtu wrote a letter back as soon as possible. Ohnoki, who was furious in the Iwagakure Village, agreed after a little thought.

Although they still need to be on guard against the Third Raikage, he doesn't think that the Third Raikage will come again. They almost trapped the opponent to death last time, so they will definitely not take risks easily again.

Moreover, with me here, even if the Third Raikage comes, he will not be able to break through the village’s defenses. At most, he will not be able to surround and kill him, but he can still drive him away.

Now the battlefield in the Land of Grass is the critical point. They have already spent too much time there. Coupled with the defense of the Sand Village, they must break the defense line there before the two sides complete the peace talks.

It's worth taking a risk.

Tamura Hao had no idea about the plan of the Iwagakure Village. He was currently concentrating on eating and drinking in order to quickly refine the chakra and store it in the Yin Seal. He even upgraded the Yin Seal.

The strength and size of the Yin Seal depend on the cultivation of the Yin and Yang attributes. The stronger the Yin and Yang attributes, the larger and stronger the Yin Seal space will be, and the more chakra it can store.

Before this, Tamura Hao's Yang attribute was at the level of a Jonin. Even though he had both Yin and Yang, the Yin seal he created was far inferior to Tsunade's.

This time the Yang Release has broken through to the Kage level, so naturally it must be used to rebuild and upgrade the Yin Seal. At the same time, the Yang Release Chakra refined now is also at the Kage level, which is much stronger than the chakra refined before, and it will be more efficient to use.

If he could fill up the current Yin Seal, he had the confidence that he could be a real man for three minutes and maintain the superposition state of the tailed beast power for more than three minutes.

Of course, in addition to this, he is also familiar with the power of the Five-Tails, mainly the application of the Boiling Release, which is a key point of his fusion method.

"Xiao Hao, the steel skeleton you want has been made."

Just as he was getting familiar with the situation, Minato Namikaze's voice was heard outside the door.

“Is it ready so soon?”

Tian Cun Hao walked out of the room, surprised at the speed here.

What he wanted was a high-strength alloy frame, not ordinary steel.

"It's not that difficult actually. A lot of ninja tools have been damaged in the war so far. Those broken ninja tools have been collected and stored, and will be brought back to the village to be recast later.

With the help of Xiao Hei, I traveled around the Hot Spring Country Front and the Eastern Front and brought back all the broken ninja tools they had accumulated. Together with what you brought from Kikyo Castle and what we have here, it was just enough."

Minato Namikaze said as he led the way forward.

He had seen Xiao Hao in the state of superimposed power of the tailed beasts last time, and he was very clear about the combat effectiveness of that state, which was especially suitable for fighting against the tailed beast jinchūriki.

So after Tamura Hao proposed to build a steel skeleton as the foundation to support the fusion state, he took action and made a special trip to the Hot Spring Country Front and the Eastern Front to fetch the broken ninja tools they had stored, melted them and cast a fifty-meter-high steel skeleton.

Fortunately, the materials of Konoha's ninja tools are similar, so after fusion there will be no material confusion and resulting in reduced strength.

This is also to facilitate recycling, so the cast steel skeleton is stable in material and has high strength.

The two soon arrived at the construction site, where Jiraiya was also.

"Xiao Haozi, come and see if this skeleton works."

Jiraiya greeted excitedly, this alloy skeleton was melted and cast by him personally using Fire Style, and he even used Toad Oil to increase the temperature of the flame.

Tamura Hao walked forward and scratched the steel frame with a fine kunai, but found only a shallow mark.

"Because it is cast instead of forged, its toughness is a little worse, but its strength is not bad. After applying the barrier, its hardness will be further improved."

Namikaze Minato explained that in order to create this steel skeleton, they specially invited an old blacksmith to direct the work and also made a preliminary screening of the ninja tools.

"The barrier technique is the key. The temperature when it explodes will be astonishing. We can't let this skeleton melt."

Tamura Hao attaches great importance to the barrier technique. A skeleton made of this alloy alone cannot withstand an explosion of that magnitude, so it must be enhanced with the barrier technique. At the same time, the barrier technique is also needed to isolate the high temperature to a certain extent.

In addition, he will use earth-style ninjutsu and the power of the three-tail to further strengthen the strength of the steel skeleton, especially the joints.

"I've already asked people to set it up, but the effect once activated won't last too long." Jiraiya replied. He really took this seriously, as it was the key to the next battle.

According to Nara Shikaku's analysis, the Iwagakure Ninja Army will definitely fight with all their strength next, and may even let the Five-Tails Jinchuriki or the Third Tsuchikage come to join the battle.

The next battle is crucial. As long as they can hold on until peace talks with the Sand Village are completed, Tsunade and others can be dispatched over, and then they can try to fight back.

"I really want to see the power of the Uchiha."

Minato Namikaze looked at the steel skeleton and thought of the Susanoo that Xiao Hao had mentioned before.

The concept of this steel skeleton was based on the Uchiha family's Susanoo. According to Xiao Hao, the Susanoo created by the legendary Uchiha Madara was even higher than a hundred meters, taller than the Nine-Tailed Fox when standing upright.

In comparison, the current steel frame, which is only fifty meters high, is far inferior.

"That kind of power is great, but it comes at a price."

Jiraiya sighed. He had witnessed the glory of the Uchiha in the last Ninja World War, when five pairs of Mangekyō were displayed on the battlefield.

Unfortunately, the price of that kind of power was too high, and they even started killing each other, which was also the key point of the Uchiha's disastrous defeat in that battle.

In comparison, Xiao Hao's method is much better. It only consumes chakra, and there is the Yin Seal to reserve it in advance without overdrawing the body. It is the most perfect application of power.

"How is the construction of the steam warehouse going?"

Tamura Hao asked about another component, which was also a key to the next battle.

Boiling Escape has a very strong explosive power, and he needs to use it to increase the strength and speed of this thing. Only by improving it can he show powerful combat effectiveness.

"It's being made. Your requirements are much higher. It needs to be forged, and the materials required are also very troublesome. But it will be ready the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Jiraiya replied that he had listened to the child's idea before and agreed with it, so he came over to supervise the construction in person and even used fire jutsu to help melt the metal.

After communicating here for a while and providing some suggestions for modifications, Tamura Hao went back to continue eating and drinking, integrating life force to the maximum extent to refine the Yangtun Chakra.

The next battle will be crucial. It is very likely that two tailed beast Jinchuriki will join the battle, and they must be stopped.

If possible, it would be best to kill one.

In addition, he also set his sights on the Steel Warrior, who also possessed Steel Release and was a Kage-level warrior, making him more valuable than the Steel Release Jonin he captured last time.

I believe Teacher Feiyang will also like that gift.

At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen and others who were far away in Konoha had already received detailed battle reports of several people's surprise attack on the Iwagakure Village, which they obtained through spies planted in the Iwagakure Village.

"Huruzen, we can't let that brat grow any further."

After reading the intelligence, Utane Koharu was the first one who couldn't sit still. She was already planning to take over the Ino, Deer, and Butterfly tribes, but such a monster appeared among them.

Using the power of a single tailed beast is already amazing, and now he can even stack the power of four tailed beasts.

Moreover, they had no idea that the other party had obtained the power of the Three-Tail and the Four-Tail. If it weren't for this outbreak, they would still be kept in the dark.

Furthermore, the opponent has obtained the power of the Five Tails this time, and will definitely become even more powerful.

In the last battle in the Land of Hot Springs, Tsunade cut off the horns of the Seven-Tails. Needless to say, she has also obtained the power of the Seven-Tails.

If it were to gain the power of the Six-Tailed Fox, the Eight-Tailed Fox, and the Nine-Tailed Fox, I can’t imagine how powerful it would become.

"I reckon he may have gained the power of all the tailed beasts if Orochimaru has come into contact with Ino-Shika-Chou."

Mizuto Menen took off his glasses and wiped them, his brows furrowed into a frown.

He had received information before that when Orochimaru was fighting against the Six-Tails Jinchuriki from the Hidden Mist Village on the battlefield, he sealed some of the opponent's chakra.

Now it seems that they may want to give it to Zhu Lu Die as a bargaining chip in order to gain Zhu Lu Die's support.

As for the power of the Nine-Tails, it is not only possessed by their Konoha. He had seen it in the Hidden Cloud Village back then. And Orochimaru seemed to have also studied that forbidden technique. If he succeeds, he can also obtain the power of the Nine-Tails.

In addition, Orochimaru also carried out the mission of assassinating the previous generation of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, so it is possible that he would not get some of the power of the Eight-Tails for research.

If these were used to make a deal, Ino-Shika-Chou would have the power of the nine tailed beasts. That child's strength would be truly unimaginable.

"Look at the attitudes of Qufeng and Ino-Shikacho. If they really disregard the overall interests of the village and support Orochimaru with Danzo, we will have to abandon them for the sake of the village's stability."

Sarutobi Hiruzen also realized the terrifying potential of that child. Although he had only stolen a little bit of the power of the nine tailed beasts, when combined, it was terrifying and beyond his control.

The most important thing is that the Ino, Deer, and Chou clans may side with Orochimaru. If they are allowed to support Orochimaru, many of his plans will be destroyed.

For the stability of the village, he had to make a choice.

Not to mention Sarutobi Hiruzen's decision, Danzo Shimura on the other side also obtained information about the battle in Iwagakure Village, and obtained it earlier, because he himself was an intelligence officer, and even planted an excellent person in Iwagakure Village.

"The teacher can't sit still anymore."

Orochimaru looked at the information handed over by Shimura Danzo, and after glancing at it, a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

The greater the talent and ability that the child displayed, the more intolerant the teacher became.

Konoha has long been unable to accommodate geniuses and strong people, unless they have established a position.

After all, even a top warrior like White Fang was forced to death. It was not as simple as a rumor back then. Moreover, it is impossible for a person like White Fang to be unable to bear a little rumor. The reason why he committed suicide was more to protect his children and family. It was a helpless, sad and desperate choice.

There are too many similar things, such as the tragic death of Nawaki under his nose, the death of Kato Dan not far from Tsunade, and even the destruction of the Senju family, all of which indicate the problems within the village.

He even felt that the Uchiha clan would not last long and must be on the elimination list. At least the An Ninja in front of him wanted to destroy the Uchiha clan and seize their Sharingan.

"The more Hiruzen and the others do, the more they will anger Qufeng and Ino-Shikacho. Although Qufeng is a calm person, he can become very scary when he is pushed into a corner."

Danzo Shimura also had a mocking smile on his face, he was a teammate of Akimichi Norifuge and knew his temperament best, he was usually smiling and easy to get along with, but when he got really angry he would become very terrifying, no one could stop his will and he would not consider the consequences and would only charge towards the enemy he had identified.

He really hoped that Hiruzen and Qufeng could confront each other. Even if Qufeng could not defeat Hiruzen's side, he could at least severely injure them.

I can also take this opportunity to find something to hold against him, and then the next plan will be much easier.

"Teacher should be able to make that move. He has already tricked a Thousand Hands, so he will definitely not feel any psychological burden if he tricks another Pig-Deer-Cute."

Orochimaru smiled even more. Some things are only different between zero times and countless times. Once you do it for the first time, the second time will be much easier, and then the third time, the fourth time...

"You seem to be looking forward to Hiruzen making a move on you?"

Danzo Shimura was puzzled and felt that there was something wrong with this collaborator.

"There are some ties that I have always wanted to break. They have become my bondage and make me uncomfortable."

Orochimaru did not deny that the reason he wanted to compete for the position of Hokage with all his strength this time, in addition to fulfilling his ridiculous childhood dream, was more importantly to force and lure the teacher to personally sever the bond between them.

Only in this way can you gain true freedom and do whatever you want without any constraints.

After squinting his one eye for a while, Shimura Danzo talked about another thing.

"When will the transplantation plan for the Sharingan and Wood Release begin?"

He is in great need of strength now. He is not enough to fight against Hiruzen on his own. Only by surpassing Hiruzen in strength can he truly fight for the position of Hokage.

"We have found a good material. He can carry any foreign organ, including the Sharingan and the first generation of cells. However, he is still too young. It will take a few more years for him to become the opportunity for you to obtain the Sharingan and the power of Wood Release."

Orochimaru thought of that special material and was quite satisfied with it. (End of this chapter)
