Chapter 106 Nine-Tailed Jinchūriki
Let alone Kushina Uzumaki's resentment, Tamura Hao was taken to the forging room behind the mansion by Ichiro Kusama after breakfast.
Although it is a forging room, it is not small, with a length and width of 50 meters, and a huge furnace in the center.
"From today on, you will follow me to learn forging and hammering in the morning, and learn the recognition and identification of various ores and metals and various smelting methods in the afternoon."
After lighting the huge furnace, Ichiro Kusama took out a huge hammer, which must have weighed hundreds of pounds.
However, it is quite suitable for Ichiro Kusama's burly figure. With the blessing of chakra, it is indeed not comparable to ordinary people.
First, heat a piece of iron ingot that has been smelted initially and burn it red, then put it on the anvil and swing the heavy hammer down.
"Dang!"
A dull sound was stirred, and then when the hammer was lifted, the iron ingot stood up, and then the second hammer fell, landing on different faces.
In this way, while swinging the hammer to forge, the iron ingot is constantly changing its landing point, ensuring that each side can be forged, and not just one side is forged into a piece of iron sheet.
Tamura Hao watched carefully on the side, and used the power of Kaguya's Sharingan and Byakugan to observe in detail, and also activated the understanding improvement of the golden finger to quickly understand the mystery.
At the same time, it was confirmed that yesterday's guess was not wrong. Kusama Ichiro's swordsmanship was indeed related to his own hammer swinging and forging. This is to integrate the hammer method into the swordsmanship, so it is so powerful and heavy, swinging the sword is the same as swinging the hammer.
"Do you understand?"
After the iron ingot was hammered for the first time, Kusama Ichiro put down the hammer and asked.
From yesterday's battle, he could see that this child has an amazing learning ability, and this simple forging is definitely not a problem.
"I understand a little."
After thinking for a while, Tamura Hao nodded.
"Try it!"
Kusama Ichiro smiled and pushed the hammer handle over.
Tiancun Hao didn't hesitate. He took the hammer and waited for the iron ingot in the furnace to heat up again to the same level as last time. Then he took it out and used his super strength skills to enhance his explosive power, swinging the hammer weighing hundreds of pounds and smashing it down.
Bang!
A dull sound was heard. Tiancun Hao raised the hammer and tried to turn the iron ingot over, but failed. He could only extend a chakra thread to turn it over.
He took a deep breath while learning the breathing method of Ichiro Kusama, and then swung the hammer down again.
Only two hammers shocked Ichiro Kusama next to him, because he saw that this disciple had learned his breathing method, and even the hammering had a faint rhythm.
And he hadn't explained it yet. He had understood so much just by watching. It was incredible.
And the following performance surprised him even more. This student was still improving rapidly, and he truly integrated what he had seen before into himself through practice. His breathing frequency became more and more stable, and the rhythm of forging became smoother and smoother.
There was no need to explain it myself!
"You will definitely surpass me!"
When Tiancun Hao finished the first round of forging, Kusama Ichiro was in a complicated mood, but more of a surprise.
If it was just an expectation before, it is now certain.
This child's talent is stronger than he thought.
"It's the teacher who taught well."
Tamura Hao was modest, and it was really not difficult for him to control this type of technique.
First, he had a foundation in various aspects of practice before, second, he had the cooperation of Sharingan and Byakugan, and third, the improvement of his understanding with the golden finger.
For him now, simple learning is not difficult, but the difficulty is to create new methods and practice some basic strength.
For example, the improvement of chakra, the practice of changing chakra properties, the improvement of physical fitness, the improvement of mental strength, etc.
These practices are difficult to cheat, and even if you can cheat, there must be a limit, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
Compared with these foundations that can only be improved bit by bit, that type of learning is really not difficult for him.
Of course, it is limited to the learning of skills and techniques. For example, there is no way for me to directly comprehend and learn the methods with a bit of metaphysics, such as sword Zen, mainly because I don’t have the foundation in that aspect.
Tamura Hao followed Ichiro Kusama to learn forging, from forging techniques to theoretical knowledge, as well as the practice of swordsmanship, and the core of sword Zen.
He even created a sword-drawing slash suitable for himself based on the Iai Slash, which is more extreme and pursues an explosion beyond the limit. It is a special desperate move.
At the same time, the war broke out again on the front line between Konoha and Iwagakure Village because of the destruction of the Grass Country. This time, Konoha took the lead.
In their view, the Iwagakure Village dispatched a blasting unit to kill the Grass Village, which must be a preparation for the next war.
At this time, it is the safest to strike first and disrupt the layout of the Iwagakure Village to the greatest extent.
Otherwise, once the Grass Village completes the layout, they will inevitably be more passive.
The Iwagakure Ninja Army was a bit confused. They hadn't figured out how the Kusagakure Village was destroyed before, but now they were attacked by the Konoha Ninja Army again.
You know, it was not long since the truce, and they haven't recovered yet.
As the war on this front resumed, the Sand Village and the Cloud Village also began to attack, but the Cloud Village was more harassing, to contain the Konoha Ninja Army here.
To be honest, the Third Raikage really didn't want to fight the Uchiha-led Ninja Army, because the preservation of the Uchiha's strength would be more helpful in planning for Konoha.
The stronger the Uchiha clan is, the more unstable Konoha will be.
After Sarutobi Hiruzen and others kill the Senju clan, the next target will inevitably be the Uchiha clan.
A Konoha with internal strife is a good Konoha. At that time, they can also get some children from the Uchiha and shape their Uchiha of the Hidden Cloud Village.
The transplanted Sharingan is not as good as the original one.
Even the Hidden Mist Village took the opportunity to send out the ninja army to officially open up the battlefield of the Land of Fire. For a time, Konoha was once again in a mess. The ninjas in the village were sent out one after another, and even the newly graduated students were sent to cooperate in transporting various supplies to the front line.
Fortunately, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire knew the seriousness of the current war situation and gave the greatest support in terms of funds and materials, otherwise Konoha would really not be able to hold on, and at that time it could only ask Uzumaki Mito, the stabilizing force, to fight.
It's just that the current Uzumaki Mito is old. Under normal circumstances, he can barely suppress the Nine-Tails, but if he fights with high-intensity chakra bursts, there may be problems.
Once the Nine-Tails cannot be suppressed, it is likely to release the Tailed Beast Ball to Konoha in the first place, and then it will be a pit.
Therefore, all parties in Konoha are reluctant to use this trump card, which is also the key to suppressing the four major ninja villages.
Because at this time, the four major ninja villages are wary of Uzumaki Mito and have not burst out all their strength to start a war. At least half of the ninja masters are left in the village.
They are afraid that the one who will go berserk will directly descend on the ninja village to release the Tailed Beast Ball. The current war is at most a test.
Even so, Konoha's power has been pushed to the limit, and Sarutobi Hiruzen and others are in pain and happiness.
What is happy is that this can further weaken the power of the major ninja clans, especially the Senju and Uchiha, and the Hyuga.
What is painful is that the Sand Village front they are responsible for is the most difficult and has suffered the greatest losses.
"Why are you calling me back now?"
Appearing from the seal scroll, Shimura Danzo's shadow clone asked coldly.
Before, he received an order from the Anbu ninja, and the old friend asked him to come back.
He had to stay at the front line to command the battle, so he couldn't leave. He could only split a shadow clone and temporarily seal it with a seal scroll for the Anbu ninja to bring back.
"I heard that you found several Uzumaki descendants scattered in the ninja world, one of whom is a girl. The village needs a new Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't waste any words and said the purpose of calling Danzo back.
They need a new Jinchuriki and can't delay any longer.
"Have you planted someone in the root?"
Danzo's shadow clone's eyes turned cold, and he thought of Orochimaru at the first time, but then rejected it.
Now he is cooperating happily with Orochimaru. Orochimaru has made good progress in the fusion research of the first generation cells and the Sharingan, and he seems to be very curious about the Uzumaki clan. It is impossible for him to leak this information and lose the last experimental subject.
It seems to be someone else. We have to check carefully later. We must not leave Hiruzen's eyes and ears in the root, otherwise there will be no secrets, especially his own great fusion plan must not be leaked.
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say anything, and now there is no time to talk nonsense.
"She is not suitable to be the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."
With a gloomy face, Shimura Danzo didn't intend to hand over the person.
That tool naturally can't be handed over, and the girl is also a good backup.
"The village needs a new Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, which is also what you promised at the beginning. For this, we can help you cover up the experiments you secretly did on the front line."
Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that this old friend would not agree easily, so he was prepared.
"You threaten me!"
His face was even gloomier. How could Danzo's shadow clone not see that this was a threat.
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say anything, which was considered as tacit agreement.
He really needed a new Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and he couldn't delay it any longer, otherwise he would not have time to establish a bond and control it in his hands.
That child will graduate in another year!
"Huruzen, you will regret it!"
Staring at his old friend, Danzo's shadow clone was really angry.
I fought hard on the front line, but you stabbed me in the back. Do you really think that Danzo Shimura has no temper?
"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and burst out with powerful chakra.
He was able to sit on the position of Hokage because of his hard power.
Even though he is no longer assisted by Sarutobi, his own strength has been reduced a lot, but he is still stronger than Danzo Shimura, and is the strongest in their small group.
Feeling the chakra oppression of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo's shadow clone glared fiercely and took the initiative to release it, and transmitted this memory back to the original body.
I am just a shadow clone and can't do this kind of thing. The original body must come.
"Huruzen, will this..."
Mito Kado En looked worried, and Utane Koharu was also a little worried and guilty.
Since they became the village's top leaders, they have never left the village. Most of the time, it was Danzo and the other two who fought outside. As a result, Jing died young, Tofu was seriously injured and stayed at home to recuperate, and Danzo also lost one eye.
The last mission in the Whirlpool Country made Danzo lose an arm, and he has been fighting on the front line for a year.
Now they are doing this, which is really not very authentic.
Of course, what they are really worried about is that Danzo will be furious, causing a rift in their group, and even affecting the next plan, which would be bad.
"I don't want to ask him for people like this, but I really can't delay it."
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled bitterly. He didn't know that forcing Danzo like this would definitely make the old friends angry and cause rifts in their small group.
I really have no choice!
The new generation of Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki must be in his hands. This is the foundation of everything, otherwise it will be difficult to sleep peacefully in the future.
For the sake of the stability of Konoha, Danzo can only suffer.
At the same time, Shimura Danzo on the front line received the memory fragments sent back by the shadow clone, and his face instantly darkened.
"Since you are so ruthless, don't blame me for being unjust!"
With a stern whisper, Danzo Shimura left a shadow clone to continue presiding over the front affairs, and headed to Orochimaru's newly established research base.
They had lost the front line at Mount Kikyo and retreated to the Fire Country to rely on the second line of defense to resist the attack of the Sunagakure Village Ninja Army. Naturally, the research base was also moved.
"End all the experiments on the child, remove all scars on the body, and erase the memory. Hiruzen will send someone to pick him up later."
He came behind Orochimaru who was conducting anatomy research on a corpse and said, although he was very annoyed, he could only hand the person over now.
"Teacher, can't you wait?"
With a movement in his hand, Orochimaru made a guess.
"That child is eleven years old this year. He will have to graduate until he is twelve at most. Before that, he must establish a bond with the new generation of Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki. He has no time."
Danzo Shimura snorted coldly, confirming that guess even more.
Sure enough, Hiruzen chose that child.
"The other kid is great, too."
Orochimaru talked about another child. He knew very well about the Uzumaki descendants he had collected. There were still two children, both of whom had stronger bloodlines.
"He's my tool."
Shimura Danzo decisively refused. He still needed that tool for his grand fusion plan, but he couldn't let Orochimaru have access to it, so as not to leave behind any back-up tools.
"But without the Uzumaki clan, my research will not be able to continue."
Orochimaru put down the blood-stained scalpel and turned around to stare at Shimura Danzo seriously.
His experiments cannot be stopped no matter what.
"My people found a target suspected of being belonging to the Uzumaki clan in the Country of Rain, but the Country of Rain belongs to that person, so it is difficult to take action for the time being."
Shimura Danzo said another option. He also attached great importance to Orochimaru's research and could help him perfect the art of Oni Meiluo.
"Demigod!"
Orochimaru understood and was relatively satisfied, as long as the experiment didn't stop.
"I ordered a special ninja sword and a batch of ninja tools that can resist the magnetic power of the Third Kazekage in the Iron Kingdom. To prevent any accidents, you should go there in person."
Speaking of a mission, he had fought against the Third Kazekage many times. That kind of magnetic escape was very difficult, especially on a large-scale battlefield.
Anyone who is touched by the opponent's iron sand containing chakra will control all the iron ninja tools, causing them to suffer a lot and causing them heavy losses.
For this reason, he specially ordered someone to go to the Kingdom of Iron to customize a special ninja sword and a special ninja tool, and prepared to carry out a killing plan against the Third Kazekage.
Even if it cannot be killed, it must be severely damaged, otherwise the losses will be too great if it continues like this.
Even the Daming Prefecture directly sent envoys to the front line to reprimand themselves for losing the first line of defense and allowing the Ninja Army from Sunagakure Village to invade the Land of Fire.
If he wants to become Hokage, he needs the support of the Daming Mansion, but he can't let those people hate him.
"Are you going to take action against the Third Kazekage?"
Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. Orochimaru was very interested in the magnetic release of the Third Kazekage.
"We'll start after the batch of ninja tools arrives."
Shimura Danzo did not hide this combat plan, and Orochimaru would still need help when the time comes.
"I will set off after I have processed the child's physical traces and memories."
Orochimaru was impatient. He had experienced the magnetic escape of the Third Kazekage, and even if he and Danzo Shimura joined forces, it would be difficult for him to take advantage.
Fortunately, the war in the Whirlpool Kingdom caused heavy losses to Sunagakure Village, and the Chiyo siblings are still lying down, so Sunagakure Village cannot dispatch too many strong men.
At this stage, there is only one third-generation Kazekage who can surpass the strength of a Jonin. If there is another strong man who surpasses the Jonin, it will be troublesome.
However, according to the information they received, the Chiyo siblings seemed to have generally recovered. The Third Kazekage must be eliminated before the two go to the battlefield, or at least be seriously injured.
Otherwise, the sacrifices will be greater in the future, and the defense line may even fall.
"How's the new arm going?"
Danzo turned the topic to his arm. This teleportation arm was reaching its limit and could not last long.
"The arm is ready, I just don't know if you dare to use it."
Orochimaru smiled. For him, Danzo Shimura was a good experimental subject. There were not many experimental subjects whose strength exceeded that of a Jonin, and there were not many who could actively cooperate.
He cherishes it very much!
In response to this, he specially prepared an arm, which was considered a good work, but he didn't know if Danzo Shimura would dare to use it.
"You succeeded?"
Danzo Shimura was surprised when he saw the man wearing a breathing mask soaked in the nutrition tube.
He knew that this man was an elite jounin of the Senju clan. He had sent people to secretly sneak into the battlefield in the Country of Grass and used the cover of the war to get him.
This man was already dying when he was brought there, and was then handed over to Orochimaru for treatment. He didn't expect that he would have changed so much now.
Dozens of wooden thorns were seen extending from his body, and dozens of three-magatama Sharingan were inlaid on his right arm. The skin of his arm was abnormally pale.
At the same time, there was a golden chain wrapped around that arm, which was the Vajra Blockade of the Uzumaki clan.
“It’s not considered a success, it’s just that the three powers barely reached a balanced state.
The main reason is that the Sharingan and Uzumaki materials are so poor that at least a Mangekyo-level Sharingan is needed to barely compete with the first-generation Cell.
Nowadays, it can only be resisted through numbers, but it is possible to use the power of all three at the same time. "
Orochimaru is not very satisfied with this work, mainly because the material is too poor, especially the Sharingan and Uzumaki Bloodline, which are much worse than the original cells.
"Wait until the new Jinchuuriki is born before transplanting!"
His eyes flickered, Danzo Shimura was still very afraid of that person, and he must not touch the bottom line before his death.
"It just so happens that that arm still needs time to adjust to the chakra that swallowed him. It would be even more perfect if it comes with some chakra from the Uzumaki clan."
Orochimaru was not surprised, that person's intimidation was still very strong, and this work had not yet been truly perfected.
Although the three powers of that arm are balanced, they are not very strong. It is not a great improvement for a strong man like Shimura Danzo who surpasses the Jonin.
If it can be cultivated for another year or two, the effect will definitely be greatly improved.
