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

"Is this why you asked us to search for information about the Tsuchigumo clan?"

Ringo Jasmine seemed to be thinking about something. Her niece-in-law had previously asked them to collect information about the Tsuchigumo clan.

According to the information she had read, the Tsuchigumo clan seemed to have a secret technique for absorbing external energy, which might be related to fairy magic.

"The secret technique of the Tsuchigumo clan can absorb natural energy and then explode it, with a power no less powerful than the Tailed Beast Ball.

If that kind of secret technique could be integrated into the Bone Demon's body, it would be able to absorb natural energy on its own, and perhaps stimulate the magical power from the three toads.

Moreover, the explosive power of that secret technique is very strong, and it may be able to increase the power of our chakra cannon. We must get that secret technique."

Tamura Hao is determined to obtain the secret techniques of the Tsuchigumo clan, which is also a way to improve his strength.

"I'll send more people to search."

Ringo Jasmine realized that she must obtain the secret technique.

"The plan will be complete only after we obtain those two bone demons. Then we can transplant them into the island turtle."

Tamura Hao's final idea was to merge the Bone Demon with the Island Turtle. The Island Turtle is very large in size. Although it rarely eats, the amount it eats each time is very large, and it is also a carnivore.

The bones of those creatures are the best raw materials for the Bone Demons to make bone materials. At that time, they only need to feed them the required alloy materials.

It can also be used to replace the tortoise's shell and internal bones, which will greatly increase its strength.

That's perfect!

"How is the current Ninja War going?"

Tamura Hao turned the topic to the Ninja World War, which was far from over.

Especially on the side of their Kirigakure Village, Uchiha Shisui became famous by trampling on their Kirigakure on the battlefield, and Uchiha Shisui was probably the same age as him, not even eleven years old, so it was impossible for him to be too strong.

So there is still a fight to be fought at this stage, but it is unclear when the village will engage in another exchange of fire with Konoha. After all, the plot has changed a lot because of his actions, especially the Nine-Tails Rebellion which caused Konoha to suffer even greater losses and also made the major ninja villages more concerned.

“The Iwagakure Village has basically given up on the battlefield in the Land of Grass and is focusing its main efforts on the Sand Village and the Cloud Village.

The Sand Village was fighting against our Kirigakure and Iwagakure villages at the same time.

At this stage, Konoha is mainly fighting with the Hidden Cloud Village, but it still needs to be on guard against other directions, which is still not easy.

The Hidden Cloud Village is fighting on three fronts, facing the Hidden Cloud Village, Konoha, and our Hidden Mist Village.

Our village is at war with the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Sand Village, and has formed an alliance with the Hidden Rock Village against the Hidden Cloud Village."

Ringo Jasmine briefly explained the current war situation, which was quite chaotic.

"We form an alliance with the Iwagakure Village? Which party proposed the alliance?"

Tamura Hao was stunned. The Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Iwagakure Village were mortal enemies. The second generation Kage of the two major ninja villages died together. The hatred was planted as early as the First Ninja World War.

"The Sandaime proposed."

Ringo Jasmine was also quite helpless and naturally understood that there was a problem here.

"This is disgusting to the three major families."

Tamura Hao couldn't help but complain, it was obvious that the Third Mizukage was disgusting the three major ninja clans.

You have to know that it was the three major ninja clans that supported the second generation to take the position and suppressed the current third generation. The second generation was from the Hozuki family.

Now the three major families are leading the war against the Hidden Cloud Village, but the Third Mizukage has formed an alliance with the Hidden Cloud Village to target the Hidden Cloud Village. This doesn't seem right no matter how you look at it.

"Keep paying attention to this piece of intelligence. Something will definitely happen. That may be an opportunity for us to go to war with the Hidden Rock Village."

After some thought, Tiancun Hao felt that this aspect could be utilized.

Since the Third Mizukage has formed an alliance with the Iwagakure Village at this stage, he cannot rashly kill the people of the Iwagakure Village, not to mention that the other party is a Kage-level strongman and is fighting on the front line.

If they really take action, the Iwagakure Village will definitely hold the Kirigakure Village accountable, which will undoubtedly be a slap in the face of the Third Mizukage, and their Ringo family will be targeted next.

Therefore, this alliance must be broken first, so that they have an excuse to take action.

This requires patience.

"I'll arrange for someone to keep an eye on it."

Ringo Jasmine nodded and also felt that this would be an opportunity.

"Next, you will take charge of the island turtle side, and I will go to the Hidden Cloud Village and Konoha."

Tian Cun Hao wanted to go out for a walk. During this period of time, he was either practicing or doing research, or he went to the Real Waterfall once a day to be beaten by the dark side. He couldn't help feeling a little restless inside and needed to go out for a walk and get some fresh air.

"Be careful."

Ringo Jasmine was stunned for a moment, but in the end she didn't ask any more questions and just said be careful.

This man is not only his nephew-in-law, but also the head of the Ringo family. He must respect him.

Moreover, his current strength is already very strong, and he can retreat even if he cannot defeat a shadow-level strongman.

After explaining some things to this cheap aunt, Tamura Hao decisively set off on his Ninja Hawk and headed first to the nearby Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning.

They first went to the main road leading to the Hidden Cloud Village and waited. Not long after, they saw a team of three Cloud Ninjas heading towards the Hidden Cloud Village. Tamura Hao used magnetic escape to control a piece of talisman paper rolled with some iron sand and put it into the pocket of a Cloud Ninja.

Then he took out the Cloud Ninja vest he had prepared earlier and put it on, and finally put on a Cloud Ninja forehead protector, and even painted his skin the same dark color as the Hidden Cloud Village.

After doing all this, he walked along the main road to the Hidden Cloud Village, but did not enter through the gate. Instead, he turned into the woods a short distance away, looking like he was about to pee.

In fact, he was sensing the talisman before. After a while, he sensed that the talisman was no longer moving, so he decisively used the Flying Thunder God Technique.

That's right, he learned the Flying Thunder God Technique.

He had not expected that he would have a talent in space. He had just taken the scroll of Flying Thunder God Technique out of curiosity. After trying it, he found that he could really sense the shaping technique, and then he learned it.

Although it is difficult to teleport too far due to the amount of chakra, and hand seals are required to cast the spell, making it difficult to apply in actual combat, it is sufficient for sneaking in.

There must be perceptive ninjas in the Hidden Cloud Village, but it is impossible for them to keep their perception open 24 hours a day.

Moreover, there are not many people with delicate perception. In addition, we are currently in a war period, and the perception ninjas are basically on the front lines assisting in the war, so there are not many of them in the ninja village.

Back then, Orochimaru sneaked into the Hidden Cloud Village and killed the previous generation of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

The perception ninjas here should be using the village's barrier to sense things. That barrier can only sense people who have passed through or come into contact with it. Someone who teleports directly into it using something like the Flying Thunder God Technique can perfectly avoid that type of perception.

With a wave of his hand, he knocked out the Cloud Ninja who was taking the talisman home to take a shower. Tamura Hao took a quick look and found that this was a single dormitory with one bedroom and one living room. Judging from the messy condition, the person should be single, which was convenient for him. At least he didn't have to kill the whole family.

The Cloud Ninja was dealt with and his body was sealed in a sealing scroll.

Then he took off his forehead guard, vest and other equipment, changed into a set of casual clothes of the Land of Lightning, and walked out openly in the Hidden Cloud Village. He soon came to a hotel, booked a private room, and while tasting the famous steak of the Land of Lightning, he looked through the hotel wall at a hill in the distance with his white eyes.

The environment of the Hidden Cloud Village is very unique, with many steep mountains. The village is built on those steep mountains, and the Raikage Building is directly located on the highest mountain.

Many important departments are hidden in these mountains. This time, he is targeting the research department of the Hidden Cloud Village, which may contain something that interests him.

It was afternoon and it was getting dark, and people were getting off work. Not long after, many figures came out from the exit of the mountain. After observing for a while, Tian Cun Hao locked onto an old man from Guangmingding who seemed to have a very high status.

After memorizing the other party's chakra, Tamura Hao enjoyed his steak with peace of mind.

After eating and drinking, he returned to the dormitory of the Cloud Ninja to sleep. He got up at dawn the next day and went out to have breakfast on a street where the old man passed by yesterday. Not long after, he saw the old man he had targeted yesterday walking by. He used the same trick again and put a talisman rolled with iron sand into the other's pocket.

After breakfast, he returned to the dormitory to continue resting. One hour before the end of get off work, he performed the Flying Thunder God Technique and went over there.

He immediately shot out his finger knife and killed several people around him. At the same time, he stretched out his hand to grab the old man's neck and cut his hand and foot tendons with the finger knife.

Only then did he have time to look around. This was a laboratory, and the few people just killed were the experimenters here.

After a quick scan, he looked at the old man whose neck was strangled, took out the Sharingan chakra core, and used it to amplify the illusion to check the old man's memory, mainly searching for the many experimental projects and layouts of the research department.

This old man has a high status in the research department and is familiar with many of the projects being researched here. This is also the main reason why Tamura Hao chose him.

After getting what they wanted, they dealt with it decisively and sealed the corpses into the Sealing Scroll.

The bodies of the researchers who were killed were also collected.

Because the wound caused by the finger knife was not big, the amount of bleeding was not much, and there was not much bloody smell left.

After dealing with these, Tamura Hao took out the Byakugan Chakra Core and used his perspective ability to observe everything around him. First, he compared it with the layout of the research department in the old man's memory, and second, he determined whether anyone had discovered any abnormalities here, such as sensing ninjas. Fortunately, the defense of the research department in the Hidden Cloud Village was mainly outside, and they had never thought that someone would use space ninjutsu to invade, so they did not have many means of defense inside.

After making further confirmation, Tamura Hao walked out of the laboratory and headed quickly towards the designated target points. He had changed into the Anbu suit of the Hidden Cloud Village before coming.

Coupled with his anxious look, it was obvious that it was an important matter, so no one doubted it.

The main reason was that no one thought that enemies would sneak into the village, or even into the heavily guarded research department.

Tamura Hao first came to the laboratory where the chakra cannon was being researched, cleared out all the people inside, took the information and the semi-finished chakra cannon and left. He then looted several laboratories using the same method, and finally came to the warehouse on the bottom floor.

There are many things sealed in this warehouse, even the body of the Third Raikage is sealed here.

The corpses of ninjas are of great research value. The stronger they are, the more precious they are, especially those bloodline ninjas.

Although the Third Raikage did not have a bloodline, he possessed black lightning that was comparable to a bloodline, and this power was stored in his corpse.

However, as such an important place is naturally heavily guarded, Tamura Hao had previously dealt with three teams of ninjas, including three senior ninjas.

In addition, a sealing barrier has been set up here, which cannot be opened without corresponding means.

Even if Tamura Hao has mastered Konoha's foundation, it will take some time to break it.

"Rumble..."

Just as the code was being cracked, a series of rumbling sounds suddenly came from above, and the surroundings were also shaking continuously, as if a mountain was collapsing.

This was indeed a mountain collapse. Tiancun Hao had posted a lot of detonating tags on the way here, and it was obvious that someone had triggered it.

"Have you finally discovered it?"

He whispered and continued to concentrate on breaking the sealing barrier.

This place is different from other places. The mountain has been blown up by him. It will take a long time for the people from the Hidden Cloud Village to break in. This period of time is enough...

Unfortunately, he was quickly slapped in the face. A head suddenly popped out from the rear passage. It came in using the earth escape ninjutsu. To be able to come in so quickly, he must be a Jonin.

Unfortunately, as soon as he showed his head, a finger knife that had been waiting on the side pierced through his eyes and into his brain, killing him instantly.

According to Tamura Hao's perception, it was impossible to approach quietly.

Moreover, after this period of training, his strength has improved rapidly, and the control range of his finger knife has reached one hundred meters.

This is a rather terrifying distance, beyond the attack range of almost all ninjutsu.

There are not many ninjas in the Hidden Cloud Village who are proficient in earth escape, not to mention that it is during this war period, and the elite are basically on the front lines, even the Fourth Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki are on the front lines.

It took nearly ten minutes for Tiancun Hao to break the seal on the gate and open it.

"What a great harvest!"

Looking at everything displayed inside, the corners of his mouth were almost grinning to his ears.

He immediately used his Byakugan's ability to see through things to determine whether there were any traps inside, then unfolded the sealing scroll he had brought with him and sealed the items inside one by one.

There aren’t many things here, but they are all fine products, even the amber bottles are there. It is the most important treasure house of the Hidden Cloud Village.

After looting everything, he scattered a large area of ​​detonating talismans, then walked to the passage, pulled out the body of the Cloud Ninja and sealed it into a sealing scroll, then he used the Flying Thunder God Technique and left.

The next moment after leaving, the flames engulfed everything.

Tamura Hao, who arrived at the dormitory first, took a look at the chaotic scene outside, then cast a spell again and ran away from the Hidden Cloud Village.

He is not qualified to fight against a big ninja village now. Even if the main force of the Hidden Cloud Village is outside, he cannot fight against it. Catching a wave of them is already his limit.

He ran for more than ten kilometers before he called the ninja eagle circling in the sky to fly away. This was the main reason why he chose to do it when he was about to get off work. When he came out, it was night and he could run better under the cover of darkness.

Not to mention the chaos in the Hidden Cloud Village, Tamura Hao rode on the Ninja Hawk and headed south, arriving at Konoha which was being rebuilt.

Konoha had been hit so badly before, especially by the explosion of the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball, which completely destroyed the mountain where the Hokage Cliff was located.

A big hole was blown out in Konoha Village, no worse than the one blown by the future Gandō Pain.

Konoha was rebuilt on the original site and they didn't even plan to fill the big hole.

“It’s not here.”

He first came to the cemetery outside the village, and used his Byakugan to look through the graves of Minato Namikaze and his wife, and found that the coffin below was empty.

He had expected this. In fact, the last time he went to the Senju family, he went to see the graves of the first generation Hokage and found that the coffins were also empty, proving that someone had stolen the bodies of these people.

There aren't many people in Konoha who have the courage and ability to do this.

"Shimura Danzo is still in the Eastern Theater with the Root Ninjas. There shouldn't be many people left in the Root base."

After muttering something, Tamura Hao went straight to the root base.

Last time, we obtained a lot of intelligence records in the Hokage Building, including those of the Root Base, and even the layout and structure of the Root Base, which were extremely detailed. I guess Yamato’s contribution was indispensable.

The Root base is outside Konoha and was not affected by the Nine-Tails Rebellion. In addition, after that battle, Danzo Shimura led the elite Root to the eastern war zone, so there should be no time and no need to move the base.

Still without any further ado, Tamura Hao, wearing the Konoha Anbu uniform, rushed in directly.

The perception ability and the power of the Byakugan combined with the Magnetic Finger Blade are almost unstoppable. With such a rapid advance, the Root Ninjas didn't even have time to trigger the alarm, and the corpses were packed up by Tamura Hao in the first place.

Of course, the main reason is that there are too few ninjas left in the root base, and there are no strong ones, so they can't stop Tamura Hao, who is a cheater.

They fought their way in like this and soon arrived at the experimental area at the root, where various studies were being conducted.

They packed up everything they liked and took them away one by one. After they had packed up all nine experimental areas, they sensed a powerful chakra coming quickly from Konoha.

"It's pretty fast."

With a light chuckle, Tian Cun Hao quickened his pace.

He knew that the chakra he sensed belonged to the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, and that the other party already knew that the Root base had been attacked.

However, he still had time, because the Root Base was surrounded by multiple barriers, and it was impossible to enter using earth-style ninjutsu. He could only enter through regular passages, and he had already placed a huge number of detonating tags in those passages.

Quickening their pace, they soon found the bodies of those who had been sealed for research. They were all soaked in nutrient solution, even the bodies of two generations of Jinchūriki.

Naturally, Tian Cun Hao packed up these and took them away immediately, then scattered a large area of ​​detonating talismans and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave.

It was still the same old routine, running for dozens of kilometers first, and then summoning the ninja eagle hovering in the sky to fly away.

"Who is it?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who came out of the Root Base, was covered in dust and dirt. He was very annoyed and confused. He still didn't understand the identity of the enemy.

There are too many barriers inside the root base, and it is impossible to perceive it.

The opponent's strength was also very strong. Although the elite Root were not in the base, there were still several Jonin and hundreds of Chunin left behind, but they were quickly broken through by the opponent.

The seals and barriers along the way were unable to stop it and were quickly broken.

When did such a figure appear in the ninja world?
Another thing is that the other party seems to be extremely familiar with the root base, and their routes are purposeful.

"is it you?"

He quickly thought of a person, that was his most proud disciple, but unfortunately he had fallen.

The other party had worked with Danzo Shimura before and even joined the Root, so it was normal for him to be familiar with the Root.

"Lord Hokage!"

Several Anbu ninjas appeared and knelt on one knee on the ground waiting for the Hokage's order.

"This is the Root's business. You don't need to interfere. Inform Danzo at the front and ask him to send someone back to deal with it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted his thoughts and gave orders calmly, not wanting these Anbu ninjas to enter the Root base.

There are too many things and events that cannot be seen in public, and not all the people in the Anbu are his confidants, so it is not appropriate to let them see those things.

As for this incident at the Root, it would be better to let Danzo handle it.
