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

The Nine-Tails Rebellion that broke out in Konoha was soon known to all major forces through various channels, especially the four major ninja villages, which were all shocked.

The Tailed Beast Riots have occurred before, but they were basically outside the village. This time, it broke out directly inside the village. This time, the entire Konoha was almost reduced to ruins.

However, to the regret of all the major ninja villages, the Nine-Tails was eventually sealed in Konoha. It is just not known whether it was sealed into the body of the original Tailed Beast Jinchuriki or a new one was found.

This incident made the four major ninja villages ready to take action. Even the Sand Village, Iwagakure Village, and Mist Village, which had already signed a peace treaty with Konoha, had some ideas.

However, Konoha's response was also strong. Jiraiya went north to the Land of Hot Springs to take charge, and Danzo Shimura went to the eastern front.

Tsunade, who had been traveling outside, also appeared at Kikyo Mountain Castle and took charge, confronting the people from the Sand Village.

Even Orochimaru, who had become a rebel ninja, appeared in the Land of Grass, forcing the four major ninja villages to treat him with caution.

In the Mizukage's office in the Hidden Mist Village, the already very old Third Mizukage looked at the latest information he had obtained, his brows furrowed into a knot.

"Don't go to the Fire Nation war zone. Go to the Wind Nation front."

After thinking for a long time, the Third Mizukage finally made a decision.

He originally wanted to take the opportunity to arrange for his disciple Karuta Yagura to go to the Land of Fire to open up a war zone, but who would have thought that the person in charge there was actually Danzo Shimura.

"Teacher, is that Shimura Danzo more powerful than Jiraiya?"

Karutagi Yagura was puzzled. According to his understanding, Danzo Shimura didn't seem to have much presence in Konoha, and he didn't have any impressive battle records.

"His strength is average, but he has a nickname called Shinobi's Darkness."

His fingers stroked the information placed on the table. The Third Mizukage attached great importance to Danzo Shimura.

"Ninja Darkness?"

Karutagi Yagura was stunned. This was the first time he had heard of this name. Mainly because he had not paid much attention to a person like Shimura Danzo before.

"He is a man who will do anything to achieve his goals. He can use any means possible. In some ways, he is more dangerous than Jiraiya.

Moreover, he has a relatively independent organizational root under his command, which is full of cold-blooded and ruthless tools who will also do things by any means necessary.

Konoha is in a desperate situation this time. Even the eldest son of the Third Hokage was killed by us. I am afraid they will release all restrictions on that guy. It is too risky to fight him. "

The Third Mizukage had some knowledge of Danzo Shimura, especially during the Second Ninja World War. According to the intelligence they had obtained, the successive destruction of the Hidden Uzushio Village and the elite of the Senju Clan seemed to have the shadow of that man.

“This defeat in the Fire Nation battlefield has a great impact on us, and it also has a great impact on your succession to my position.

Although the Ninja Clan did not gain much in the Land of Lightning, they did not suffer much loss either.

You need to achieve a breakthrough in the Wind Kingdom battlefield. This battle is very important to you.

If you want to become the fourth generation, you must show a record that will impress the entire village."

The Third Mizukage spoke solemnly as his eyes fell on the disciple in front of him.

He was quite satisfied with this disciple. His character and strength were both very good. It was a pity that his luck was a bit bad this time.

He had already made progress in the Land of Fire, but ended up facing the Fourth Hokage, in which he was defeated miserably and even nearly lost his life.

It’s not that this disciple is not strong enough, but that the Fourth Hokage is too strong and that technique is too unsolvable.

"Disciple understands, and will definitely not let Master down!"

Karuju Yagura nodded solemnly, he also understood that this was his last chance.

"Teacher, I would like to dispatch the Ringo clan to accompany me to the Wind Kingdom battlefield."

After hesitating for a while, Karatachi Yagura applied to transfer the ninjas of the Ringo family.

The ninjas of the Ringo family performed very well on the previous battlefields. It can be said that the two great victories were inseparable from the Ringo ninjas.

First, he cooperated to kill the son of the Third Hokage, and then killed Jiraiya's three powerful summoning beasts. If it weren't for the Ringo family ninjas, he would not have been able to achieve such a great victory there.

Even in the first battle, the Ringo ninjas were the vanguards rushing to the front line, blocking the strongest attack of the Konoha ninjas.

Moreover, Ringo Ninja's armor has strong defensive power and is very suitable for use as a vanguard.

“Ringo Bairen will not agree to this. He applied to go to the Thunder Country battlefield just to avoid being transferred to the Wind Country battlefield.

Although he applied to go to the north, he did not join the battlefield, nor did he come into contact with the people from the three families of Gui Deng. He kept floating on the sea, which was a way of hiding.

They probably won't come back until a new Mizukage appears."

The Third Mizukage understood the Ringo family's approach very well. He believed that avoiding the fight between the two major factions and maintaining a neutral position was the best option.

"Permanent neutrality?"

Goji Yagura suddenly realized, and then felt regretful.

If he had the assistance of the Ringo family ninjas, he would definitely be able to quickly turn the situation around in the Wind Kingdom.

Moreover, given Ringo Hyakuren's physical condition, it is impossible for him to compete with him for the position of Mizukage, so he is the most useful subordinate.

Unfortunately, the other party has a clear attitude and does not intend to take a stand. Although it is highly likely that the Ringo family will not be reused once a new Mizukage appears, they will not suppress it either.

This is a relatively conservative way of inheritance, but he can understand it. After all, given the fatal flaws of the Ringo family's secret technique, it is good enough to ensure family inheritance.

"Do you have more information on those armors of the Ringo family?"

The Third Mizukage was somewhat interested in the armor mentioned in the intelligence. It has good defensive capabilities and can also assist in combat.

"It should be a variant application of puppetry. Previously, the Ringo family had deployed personnel in the Wind Country. It is said that they unexpectedly encountered the genius of the Sand Village, Scorpion, and almost surrounded and killed him. It is possible that they obtained the core inheritance of puppetry during that time, and then created that kind of puppet armor.

I also saw Ringo Ninja practicing the chakra line technique of the puppet master in the Fire Country camp."

Goju Yagura was also very interested in the puppet armor before. Although he couldn't ask, he asked people to observe it and collect some information.

It gave him the feeling that he was wearing a puppet on his body, using puppetry to control those limbs to assist in combat. It was like a combination of the Sand Village puppeteer and a normal ninja.

There are even some people in the Sand Village who hide their entire bodies inside large puppets to control the battle and use the puppets to protect themselves.

Now the Ringo family has simply transformed on this path to focus mainly on the ninjas themselves, with puppets as a supplement.

"A variant application of puppetry?"

The Third Mizukage seemed to be thinking about something. If that was the case, then the value would be greatly reduced. After all, the most powerful things about the puppeteers of the Sand Village were the mechanisms and poisons installed on the puppets. It seemed that those mechanisms could not be installed on that kind of puppet armor, and it could only simply assist in close combat.

Moreover, the cost of that thing seems to be not low. The Ringo family even sold off their properties in the village some time ago. Even the scrolls containing some ninjutsu, secret techniques and sealing techniques were sold to civilian ninjas at low prices in exchange for money, which was obviously spent on those puppet armors.

The investment is too huge, it is obviously impossible to popularize it, and there is not much point in taking it.

Moreover, the Ringo family still maintains a neutral attitude, and it is not good to take other people's achievements. Otherwise, once they are angered and turn to the ninja faction, it will be troublesome.

Ringo Bairen didn't know yet that he was being targeted. At this moment, he was floating on the sea with his fleet.

It was called a fleet, but in fact it was just three ships. After all, there were only a little over a hundred members of their tribe who went into battle this time.

A shadow-level person, Ringo has a hundred swords.

One elite jonin, Ringo Jasmine.

Especially the nine jonin, the nine who were the first to get the puppet armor.

The rest were all middle-level Chunins.

This is already a standard large clan in the Hidden Mist Village. Even the three major clans, such as Kaguya Hozuki and Mizunotsuki, have at most 20 to 30 jonin each, and 300 to 400 chuunin.

With this fleet of hundreds of people, Ringo Bairen appeared many times near the coastline of the Land of Lightning, expressing his participation in the war here. Only in this way could he give an explanation to the village. Otherwise, he would inevitably be suspected if he kept disappearing on the sea.

Aware of the presence of the Ringo family ninjas here, the Hidden Cloud Village had to arrange ninjas to come and keep an eye on them.

Tian Cun Hao naturally ignored all this. He stayed in the cabin and devoted himself to practice and research.

There is no need to talk about his own cultivation. The main thing is to eat the flesh and blood of the three big toads. That stuff must be eaten as soon as possible. Even if it is sealed with sealing techniques and freezing, it will not last too long.

The research is another upgrade of the puppet armor. The last time, titanium alloy was used to strengthen Kaguya's skeleton and further increase the difference from the original Kaguya skeleton.

The initial dyeing was to ensure that people would not be able to tell that it was the bones of Kaguya Ninja, and the subsequent fusion with titanium alloy was to ensure that people would not associate it with bones.

Now it is further required to be worn, carried and nourished. Before, it was maintained by soaking in nutrient solution, which is very expensive and cannot be used for long.

This defect must be resolved, and this is also a strong request from my father-in-law.

The last step is to practice perception ninjutsu, using the fleet's drifting on the sea to sense the Turtle Island that is hidden somewhere unknown.

He didn't know whether the island turtle itself had chakra, but the Cloud Ninja on it definitely had chakra, and they had also set up a perception barrier.

The basis of sensing the barrier is chakra. Anyone with a keen sense of perception can sense it, especially for someone with strong control like Tamura Hao.

After wandering for half a year, Tiancun Hao finally reaped some rewards.

"Is there a chakra reaction in that direction?"

After receiving the report from his cheap son-in-law, Ringo Bairen looked in the direction he pointed.

"Three jonins, nine chuunins, about twenty kilometers away, moving toward the northeast." Tamura Hao explained the number of people and the distance.

"You can sense twenty kilometers now?"

Ringo Jasmine was surprised that this little guy was making rapid progress.

“Small progress!”

Tamura Hao was humble.

Ringo Bairen felt even more relieved, but then he became confused.

"The people who can appear in this place must be Cloud Ninja, but that direction is not the Land of Earth. What are they doing there?"

Their current location is the northeastern waters of the Land of Thunder, and further northeast is the Ice Sea.

It is extremely cold there, and icebergs often float there, making it almost a forbidden area for humans.

"Just chase after them and see for yourself."

Ringo Jasmine suggested that they go over and take a look. They were just sitting around doing nothing anyway and everyone was getting familiar with the use of the puppet armor. It was time to go out and move around.

"Send the order to turn and pursue. Xiaohao, keep your senses and guide the direction."

Ringo Bairen agreed without giving it much thought. He was quite free now, so he might as well go over and take a look.

As the order was given, the sails were twisted and the course changed accordingly.

In today's ninja world, the ships of the Water Country are the most advanced. After all, it is an island country that depends on the sea for its survival. It will be difficult for them to survive without becoming developed.

So the fleet caught up easily and kept it steady at a distance of 20 kilometers.

After sailing for four days, we entered the ice sea and could already see some floating ice on the sea. It was said that if we continued to move forward, we would encounter icebergs, which would be a nightmare for any sea ship.

"The fleet can't move forward any further."

Ringo Bairen came to the deck and did not intend to continue sailing, but the pursuit had to continue.

Fortunately, they still have a means of transportation, which is the original Ninja Eagle. After feeding a large amount of toad meat, the Ninja Eagle has grown to a wingspan of 30 meters, and its speed and load capacity have been greatly improved.

After selecting thirty people, everyone set off on the Ninja Hawk to continue the pursuit.

The Cloud Ninjas on that ship had almost reached their limit of sailing, and stopped after advancing for hundreds of kilometers. Tamura Hao, who was following far behind at high altitude, immediately sensed it.

"A new chakra source appeared 20 kilometers ahead, with seven jonin and more than a hundred chuunins."

"There is indeed a problem."

Upon hearing his son-in-law's latest discovery, Ringo Bairen revealed a sinister smile on his face.

I had noticed before that the direction of those dozen or so Cloud Ninjas was not right. There really was a problem. I should be able to gain a lot.

The Ninja Hawk continued to fly, and soon an island appeared in everyone's sight.

The island is not small and everyone can see it.

"Something's wrong. That island is moving. It's a floating... No, it's a turtle."

Tamura Hao, who was observing with the help of the latest version of the Byakuyan telescope, suddenly spoke with shock and disbelief on his face.

This Byakugan telescope was made by him using the Byakugan that was sealed under the Senju wooden building. It was powered by a chakra core made from the corpse of a Hyuga ninja, and can use chakra to connect to the visual nerves to stimulate observation.

This technique is derived from the Sand Eye, a secret technique of sand manipulation in the Sand Village. An eye is made of sand, and then it is connected to the optic nerve with chakra, so that observation can be carried out.

Tamura Hao modified it so that he could use chakra to connect with the Byakugan and gain the Byakugan's vision, which is much more real than what he sees through a telescope.

"Turtle? A turtle that big?"

Everyone was amazed and surprised. Although they hadn't gone down yet, the turtle was really big. It was like an island.

"Before, I was worried about finding a place to live, and now I'm here."

After the shock, Ringo Bairen smiled.

I was still worrying about how to put the harvest, and couldn't think of an absolutely safe place. Who would have thought that I would find it so soon.

"Confirm once again whether there are any strong people who surpass the jonin, and then determine their specific distribution."

He looked at his son-in-law with a stern expression, signaling him to sense it again.

"no!"

Tamura Hao once again formed hand seals and performed sensing spells, and finally confirmed that there was no Kage-level strongman present. He then used his palm to replace the turtle island and pointed out the location of the sensed chakra.

Most of those Cloud Ninjas gathered in one area, and the rest were more scattered.

"Attack and kill all the Kumo Ninja."

Ringo Bairen gave the order decisively and was the first to jump down.

The others also jumped down, and various types of puppet armor covered the entire area immediately.

Tamura Haoya and Yu Yuli followed suit and jumped down. The eight spider legs quickly spread out in the air, and finally, with the help of the elastic force of the spider legs to unload the force, they landed steadily on the spiky coral.

The place where everyone landed was exactly the area where the Cloud Ninjas were mainly concentrated, and they started killing as soon as they landed.

At the same time, an alarm sounded on the Yunyin side, and they had obviously discovered the intruders. After all, a sensing barrier had been set up here.

Although the Ringo ninjas do not have an advantage in numbers, their close combat strength is comparable to that of the jonins due to the support of their puppet armor.

Thirty fighters with the strength equivalent to that of jonin rushed in, and it was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

Not to mention that there are nine special jonins in it, whose combat power is comparable to that of elite jonins with the support of puppet armor.

Elite jonin like Ringo Marie can become even stronger with the help of armor.

Although he is not yet strong enough to fight against a Kage-level warrior, he is much stronger than the average elite jonin.

The most terrifying thing is Ringo Bairen, who is a powerful Kage-level warrior himself. Although the puppet armor does not improve his strength much, its ability to absorb blood and increase physical strength can allow him to maintain his physical condition.

As long as you don't make an extreme burst, injuries will not be caused.

In addition, it was a surprise attack, and the Cloud Ninjas here were stunned at the first sight.

Tamura Hao himself transformed into a sword immortal, using the chakra core of the Third Kazekage to control his finger swords for long-range attacks. His current magnetic escape power can already extend to forty meters.

Within a range of forty meters, he could use magnetic escape to control his finger blades to kill anyone who was not a Kage-level warrior.

"And there are those who run away. That's not in line with the style of the Kumo-nin."

Tamura Hao, who had been maintaining his perception, smiled and controlled his spider legs to bounce away from Turtle Island.

I just sensed a stream of chakra from a senior ninja leaving Turtle Island, and he was obviously preparing to run away.

When I reached the surface of the sea, I looked back and saw the little girl Yu Yuli chasing after me.

"Did anyone escape?"

Yu Yuli seemed very excited, guessing that someone must have run away, which was why this pervert chased after him.

"That's an elite jonin who is no weaker than my aunt, don't mess around."

After giving the reminder, Tian Cun Hao retracted his spider legs and ran on the sea. His target was a large iceberg not far away. The other party was hiding behind the iceberg and had obviously discovered their tracking.

Yu Yuli also retracted his spider legs and followed closely behind excitedly, full of fighting spirit.

The past six months at sea have been very boring. I haven't had any opponents, and I can't enjoy sparring with my tribesmen. But if I fight with that pervert, I will be bullied by his magnetic escape technique.

She had just killed three Chunins, and this time she was going to face an elite Jonin. How could she not be excited?

She likes this kind of exciting thing.

At the same time, the Cloud Ninja hiding behind the iceberg stopped forming seals and looked grim.

He is the perception ninja of Turtle Island and also the strongest person.

After sensing that his companions were being slaughtered swiftly and that the other side had a Kage-level warrior, he knew that he could not win and had to escape.

It was not only to escape, but also to pass the news back to the village.

But he didn't expect that he would be discovered by the other party and chased after him.

Without hesitation, he took out a scroll, bit his finger, quickly wrote a few secret codes, and finally rolled it up and threw it to a dolphin.

He has been targeted and there is a high probability that he cannot escape. Now this is the only way to pass the message back.

At least let the village know that it was the Kirigakure ninja who captured Turtle Island.

But before the dolphin could swim away, its body suddenly began to twitch, and soon it stopped moving. (End of this chapter)
