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

"The Fourth Hokage went into battle, and the remaining six members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were all killed, and their ninja swords were taken away by the enemy."

Ringo Jasmine still looked shocked. She was also shocked when she heard the news before.

The Fourth Hokage was too powerful, far surpassing the previous Jiraiya.

"The Fourth Hokage!"

Tiancun Hao suddenly realized that if that person took action, the battle could indeed be resolved quickly. The Flying Thunder God Technique was quite unstoppable, especially when no information about the Flying Thunder God Technique was known.

"When did this happen?"

"The news just came back from the front line an hour ago."

Ringo Mari still couldn't understand how the Six Ninja Swordsmen were killed instantly by the Fourth Hokage. You have to know that those six were at least elite jonin, and when the six of them worked together, they could surround and kill even a Kage-level strongman, and they almost killed Jiraiya last time.

"An hour ago?"

Tamura Hao was stunned for a moment, then he estimated the distance between the front line and here, and quickly raised his hands to form seals and perform perception ninjutsu.

After this period of training, his Yin attributes have greatly improved, and his perception range has reached two thousand meters.

"Send a signal, the Fourth Hokage is coming in."

His expression changed slightly, and after saying something to Ringo Jasmine, Tamura Hao quickly rushed out of the underground laboratory.

He had never sensed Minato Namikaze's chakra, but he knew that the other party was a Kage-level warrior. There was only one Kage-level warrior in the camp now, and that was his old father-in-law, Ringo Hyakuren.

But there was one more person at this moment, and the ninjas in the camp had no warning at all. It was estimated that he teleported in directly using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

He rushed out of the basement, picked up Yu Yuli who was sleeping on the bed, and ran towards his father-in-law's residence.

He sensed that Minato Namikaze was moving not far away, and guessed that he was searching for something in secret, perhaps trying to recover the corpses of the three toads.

It's no longer safe here now, we have to go to my father-in-law.

Ringo Jasmine also reacted, rushed out and immediately released the flare she carried with her.

This is not a warning flare, but we can't care about that now. The right thing to do is to make the people in the camp alert to avoid being ambushed by the Fourth Hokage.

"Have you been discovered? Perception ninja?"

In the camp, Minato Namikaze transformed himself into a Mist Ninja by performing a transformation technique. He looked up at the exploding signal fireworks and realized that he must have been discovered.

However, it is not easy to discover oneself using perception ninjutsu. Ordinary perception ninjas can only vaguely sense the chakra of others. If the distance is not too close, it is difficult to sense the intensity, especially when the other party does not perform high-level ninjutsu.

This proves that the Hidden Mist Village has a very powerful perception ninja here.

"We can only attack with force. I hope it won't be too difficult."

Namikaze Minato cancelled his transformation technique and used the instant body movement technique to rush towards the location where the signal fireworks were shot.

On the one hand, he came here to avenge Bunta and the others, and on the other hand, he wanted to capture the other side's key figures and force them to hand over the bodies of Bunta and the others, so that he could give an explanation to Myoboku Mountain.

Finally, we got the strange armor from the Hidden Mist Village. This was suggested by the Third Generation and others.

They needed to know how that strange armor was made, how much it cost, and whether it was possible for the Hidden Mist Village to arm itself on a large scale.

It would be troublesome if they could arm themselves on a large scale.

It’s a pity that I haven’t found those people with strange armor yet.

Now I can only attack by force and lure those people out by force. I don’t know if my Rasengan can break their armor.

On the other side, Ringo Bairen and others immediately became alert after discovering the flare. They realized that it was a flare unique to their Ringo family, and it must have been fired by someone from their family, proving that something had happened.

Those who were not wearing armor took out the armor soaked in nutrient solution and put it on quickly, then rushed out of the room and gathered together. Tamura Hao also arrived, followed by Ringo Jasmine who had already put on her clothes.

"Father-in-law, the Fourth Hokage has sneaked in and is heading towards us very quickly."

While maintaining the perception ninjutsu, Tamura Hao spoke at a rapid speed, and he had also completed the armor coverage.

"The Fourth Hokage!"

Ringo Bairen followed his son-in-law's gaze and soon saw a yellow-haired young man running towards him quickly.

The yellow hair and handsome face are indeed consistent with the intelligence.

"Ringo Family!"

Looking at those armored men, murderous intent and anger rose in Minato Namikaze's heart.

Bunta and his companions were killed by the ninjas of this family. They were skinned and their bones were eaten. It was truly hateful.

Without any further ado, he threw out six Flying Thunder God Kunai, and after the kunai flew into the crowd, he performed the Flying Thunder God Technique, and at the same time, he condensed a Rasengan in his right hand.

His figure disappeared in an instant, and the next moment he appeared behind a Ringo member, with the Rasengan in his hand hitting him right in the vest.

The rapidly rotating chakra of the Rasengan cut and rubbed against the armor, but could not break through its defense.

The Ringo ninja next to him reacted and attacked immediately, but his attack missed. The next moment, Namikaze Minato appeared behind another Ringo ninja and tried with the Rasengan again, but unfortunately he still couldn't break the armor's defense.

Without any pause, Namikaze Minato used the Flying Thunder God Kunai he had thrown out earlier to teleport continuously, preparing to try to attack those armors from all angles.

However, when he teleported for the fourth time, his expression suddenly changed slightly, and he decisively gave up the Flying Thunder God Kunai that he had just grasped.

Unfortunately, it was too late. A piercing pain came from the palm of my hand and quickly spread through my arm.

Something entered my body!

He didn't dare to delay and used the Flying Thunder God Technique again to teleport to twenty meters away. However, he found that the thing was still passing through his arm, so he could only teleport farther away again.

He had just left some Flying Thunder God Seals on the way here, just in case of emergency, but he didn't expect to actually use them.

"Magnetic Escape!"

It was not until he teleported forty meters away that Minato Namikaze felt the little thing wreaking havoc in his arm stop. He quickly determined that it was the Magnetic Release Bloodline.

"poison!"

Looking at the green blood flowing from the wound on his palm, Minato Namikaze's expression changed slightly, realizing that the little thing that pierced his body was poisonous.

Not daring to delay, he used the Flying Thunder God Kunai to cut his forearm and picked out something that looked like a nail. It was pitch black, as if it was made of iron, and had a dark green luster.

"Your technique is not unsolvable. It is similar to spiritualism and requires a medium to guide it. These kunai techniques are the medium for you to cast the spell.

You can only move to these kunai, or more precisely, to the locations of these spells. As long as you keep an eye on these spells, they can turn around and target you."

A low voice came from the opposite side. Because the Ringo ninjas on the opposite side were all wearing armor, their heads were covered by helmets, and the distance was close, Namikaze Minato could not be sure who was speaking for a moment.

These words made Minato Namikaze's heart sink. This was indeed the flaw in the Flying Thunder God Technique. Although it could move quickly, it required the technique as a coordinate. The opponent saw through this and used the sharp blade of his fingernail to stick to a Flying Thunder God Kunai, injuring himself.

These words made the Ringo ninjas, who were horrified by Namikaze Minato's elusive methods, feel relieved. As long as it was not unsolvable, it would be fine.

Realizing that his Flying Thunder God Technique had been seen through, and that he had also been poisoned by an unknown poison, Namikaze Minato, although unwilling, had no choice but to perform the technique and leave.

The most important thing to do now is to return and detoxify as soon as possible, otherwise this arm will be crippled.

At the same time, the threat posed by the Hidden Mist Village needs to be re-evaluated. The opponent's armor has a strong defensive power and even the Rasengan cannot break it. Perhaps Kakashi's Chidori, which focuses on stabbing, can do it.

Furthermore, the opponent has a ninja who can control magnetic escape. His power may not be as good as the two generations of Kage of the Sand Village, but he is more concealed, and even he did not notice it.

Or maybe he was just careless, and the previous annihilation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen had made him a little complacent.

"Finally gone."

Only after confirming that Minato Namikaze had left did Tamura Hao breathe a sigh of relief, and everyone else also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Three people form a group and take turns to be on guard. Don't take off your armor."

Ringo Bairen looked at his son-in-law with satisfaction and immediately gave orders to his tribesmen.

The Fourth Hokage is injured and poisoned. He probably won't be here again in the short term, but we still need to remain vigilant.

Tamura Hao walked to the place where Namikaze Minato was last staying and collected the blood that was splashed when he drew out the finger knife.

"Father-in-law, ask those who were just attacked by the Fourth Hokage to take off their armor so I can check it."

Returning to his father-in-law's side, Tian Cun Hao whispered.

"Go back to your lab, the armor will be delivered to you later."

Ringo Bairen looked thoughtfully at the kunai he had just picked up, and signaled his son-in-law to go back to the laboratory and wait.

He understood what his son-in-law meant, and he really had to be on guard. Tamura Hao returned to the laboratory with the three Flying Thunder God Kunai left behind by Minato Namikaze, and soon Ringo Marie came over with three puppet armors sealed in the Sealing Scroll.

When Minato Namikaze's blood was smeared on the attacked area, words indeed appeared. Those were words formed by countless spells, which were the Sword of Ninja Love, and were exactly the same as the spell on the Flying Thunder God Kunai.

"Sure enough!"

Looking at the emerging technique, Ringo Jasmine was still feeling frightened.

Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise it would be troublesome to face the Fourth Hokage in the future.

"Do you want to destroy the Flying Thunder God Technique above?"

After confirming that it was indeed there, Tamura Hao asked whether to destroy it.

Just now he tried it with the spell talisman stuck on a Flying Thunder God kunai. After tearing off the talisman paper, the Flying Thunder God spell on it would be destroyed. It was simple and crude.

Similarly, he only needs to use the corpse bone vein to control the change of the bone structure of this piece of armor to destroy the Flying Thunder God technique imprinted on it.

But the existence of this technique is not necessarily a bad thing. If used properly, it can be used to defeat the Fourth Hokage.

"Our Ringo family has performed brilliantly enough in this war."

Ringo Jasmine shook her head slightly. She had told her brother about this speculation before coming here, and she also thought of a reverse calculation, but she denied it in the end.

Given the current situation in the village, it would be inappropriate for the Ringo family to show too much, otherwise they would likely be targeted.

For those in a higher position, whether or not they have the intention is secondary. The key is whether they have the ability. Once they have the ability, it is a sin.

So even if they had a chance to kill the Fourth Hokage, they couldn't do it, otherwise it would be a disaster rather than a blessing for them.

Tamura Hao didn't say much. He used the power of the Corpse Bone Vein Chakra Core to change the bone structure of that piece of armor, and then the Flying Thunder God technique imprinted on it shattered.

Then, changes were made to the other two sets of armor as well, destroying the Flying Thunder God technique imprinted on them.

"Can the magnetic escape you obtained with the help of that chakra core directly control the Fourth Hokage's kunai?"

After taking a look at her nephew's husband's manicure, Ringo Jasmine asked about the control of the magnetic escape technique.

"No, magnetic jutsu can only control metals that have been infected by chakra. The magnetic jutsu of the Third Kazekage is most effective against iron."

He shook his head slightly. Magnetic escape also has its limitations. It can only be controlled by metal materials that have been infected and nurtured by chakra. Iron is the medium with the strongest controllability. Metal ninja tools that have not been infected and nurtured by chakra cannot be controlled, otherwise they would be too invincible.

"How much of an effect could that poison have on the Fourth Hokage?"

Ringo Jasmine was slightly disappointed and immediately asked about the poison used before.

“That’s a nerve-damaging toxin with a very strong effect, but it hasn’t been tested on strong men of that level, so the specific effect cannot be determined. But even if the toxin can be detoxified in time, his arm will not be very flexible in the future.

But there is a medical expert in Konoha. If he treats me, I might be able to recover."

Tamura Hao did not apply any powerful poison on the finger knife, mainly because he had no such poison in stock. Even the poison he is using now was seized from the Sand Village puppeteer on the battlefield in the Wind Country.

Although the toxicity is strong, it also requires a certain dosage. It is meaningless to talk about toxicity without considering the dosage.

The effect of smear-type poisons is limited due to dosage issues, so only some special toxins can be used, such as neurotoxins, which have the fastest onset effect.

"That person is not in Konoha and has not been back for many years."

A smile appeared on her face, and Ringo Jasmine liked this result very much.

They have been collecting intelligence on Konoha during this period. They have interrogated some Konoha prisoners in previous wars, and even several ninjas from the Sarutobi family, and learned a lot of intelligence.

"Next, Konoha will probably take the initiative to propose a ceasefire. With the loss of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and the severe damage to Karatachi Yagura, a withdrawal is inevitable.

Later we will apply to join the Thunder Country battlefield, sail in the surrounding seas on a ship, and wait for the opportunity, so you should be prepared. "

Talking about the next itinerary, now it is less than two months away from October, they have to prepare for that plan.

I came here mainly to talk about this matter, but my nephew-in-law quickly sensed the arrival of Minato Namikaze and got delayed, and only now did I find the opportunity to say it.

"I see."

He nodded to show that he understood. Tamura Hao was very eager to get Konoha's Sealing Book. For this purpose, the Ringo family also collected many precious materials for him to make a large sealing scroll.

The sealing technique of the Sealing Scroll itself is not difficult, especially for someone like me who possesses yin and yang attributes.

The difficulty lies in the material of the scroll itself. The higher the material, the larger the sealing spell that can be drawn, and the more things that can be sealed.

Fortunately, they had previously obtained the toad skins of three giant toads, which contained a lot of ingredients that could be used to make scrolls. Combined with other precious materials, they were enough to make a large number of super-large sealing scrolls.

After giving some instructions, Ringo Jasmine left and prepared for retreat.

They need to prepare a reasonable excuse for the villagers to stay on the battlefield instead of returning to the village. This matter must be done well so as not to arouse the suspicion of the villagers.

Fortunately, there is a good excuse at this stage, and that is the inheritance of the Mizukage.

Although the Sandaime Mizukage is the Third Hokage, he should actually be the Second Hokage. However, the position of Mizukage was forcibly taken away by the Second Hokage, and he succeeded as the Sandaime Mizukage after the Second Hokage died in battle.

However, it has always been hostile to the ninja forces left by the Second Mizukage, which led to the development of the Blood Mist Policy.

Now that the Third Mizukage is old, we must decide who will be the Fourth Mizukage.

The Ninja faction and the Mizukage faction had a huge fight over this, and they just used this as an excuse to avoid suspicion and not return to the village, and it could also further strengthen their neutral stance.

As long as you maintain a stable neutral attitude, the two major factions will basically not take the initiative to target you.

Of course, they cannot show too much strength, otherwise it will make the two major factions wary.

The way of thinking of those people in the village is very strange and difficult to understand.

Not to mention the plan here, on the other side, Minato Namikaze teleported out and sucked the wound first, sucking out most of the poisonous blood, and then quickly returned to the village to clean up the remaining poison.

Upon hearing that Minato Namikaze was injured and poisoned, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya rushed over immediately.

The medical ninja gave Minato Namikaze a detailed examination and tested the poisonous blood, then frowned.

“Is the poison difficult?

Looking at the medical ninja's expression, Jiraiya became even more worried and anxious.

The medical ninja hesitated for a moment, then explained, "This is a neurotoxin commonly used by Sand Ninja puppeteers. It can damage nerves. Although the harm is not too great due to the dosage, it will cause irreversible damage to the neural network.

So even though we have the antidote formula left by Lady Tsunade, we cannot restore the nerves that have been damaged by the toxin.

Given the Yondaime's current condition, there may be some sequelae after recovery, such as slow perception and reaction in the arms.

If you want to completely heal me, I'm afraid you'll have to ask Tsunade-sama to come back."

Damage to neural networks is the most difficult to heal, and it is difficult to restore to their previous state.

He couldn't do this, and I'm afraid only if that person came back could he be completely cured.

"I'm going to find Tsunade."

Jiraiya breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that, and immediately prepared to go find that old friend immediately.

"Maybe after a while. She won't come back now, and she won't see you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly spoke. He didn't want that disciple to come back, especially now that Minato's myth of invincibility was shattered and Shinnosuke made mistakes that resulted in the death and injury of a large number of ninjas. It was inevitable that some people would have some concerns. If Tsunade came back at this time, something might happen.

"After the Hidden Mist Village signs a peace agreement, I will continue to look for Orochimaru and Tsunade."

After a moment of silence, Jiraiya turned and left.

He knew what was happening in the village and why Tsunade didn't want to come back. Those were things he didn't want to face.

Minato Namikaze remained silent, thinking mainly about how to deal with the Hidden Mist Village.

The heritage of the Hidden Mist Village was much deeper than he had expected, especially the Ringo family who were too restrained towards him.

First, he saw through the key points of his Flying Thunder God Technique in an instant, and then he used Magnetic Escape to attack him, almost crippling him.

Furthermore, the defensive power of that armor is incredibly strong. I'm afraid I can only break it by transforming the nature of my chakra and incorporating it into the Rasengan.

"Minato, who hurt you?"

After Jiraiya left, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with a serious expression.

He didn't expect that Minato Namikaze would be injured and poisoned, and almost died. Are there still such strong people in the Hidden Mist Village?
