Naruto: The Strongest Sage

The last time you asked me, I was very happy.

"Why do you say that?"

"Last time you gave me very important information. I want to know, is that information true?"

"Of course, I never joke about this kind of thing."

"In that case, our Akatsuki organization owes you a favor. Tell me what you want?" Konan couldn't see through Kamikawa Aoba, so she didn't want to owe him a favor.

"I really want to tell you that this information is free. However, since you've asked, you may not feel at ease if I don't make some requests.

You should know the guy who defected from Konoha a few days ago?"

"Are you talking about the guy who knows Wood Release and has the Sharingan?"

It was Kakuzu who spoke, and it sounded like he had fought with Hidan. But he probably didn't recognize him.

The main reason is that Aoba did not let him continue to use the iconic March sickle. Instead, he gave another Kusanagi sword he got from Orochimaru, the Sky Sword, to Hidan.

It can be said that the current Hidan is a brand new ninja.

"Yes, it seems that you have met."

"Who is that guy?" Kakuzu looked a little unhappy, obviously at a disadvantage.

In fact, there are not many people in the ninja world who can beat Hidan now. Taijutsu, ninjutsu, and illusion are all-round and have no dead angles. At the same time, there is an immortal body and a killer weapon like Wood Release. The combat power is definitely at the level of Kage. Kakuzu, a Kage-level floor tile, is indeed a little bit worse.

"His name is Hidan, and he is the product of Konoha's Wood Release experiment. But he is my man now. My request is that he joins Akatsuki."

"You want me to accept one of your spies?" Konan's tone was a little incredible.

"Haha, let me be frank. There is nothing worth exploring inside Akatsuki. I know more about Akatsuki than you do. I sent Hidan there for another purpose."

Konan wanted to refute. But thinking of the information given by Aoba, she couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

"Okay, I agree. And, is the masked man really not Uchiha Madara?"

"This question is a bit complicated. He is not Uchiha Madara, but he has a close relationship with Uchiha Madara. You can understand that he is Uchiha Madara's pawn."

"Then what about Nagato?"

"Same."

"..." Hearing Aoba's affirmative answer, Konan lost the last bit of luck in her heart. These days, she actually did a lot of investigations in secret. Although she failed to really prove it. But she still couldn't control her associations.

But for Konan, the most painful thing is not these internal hidden dangers of Akatsuki organization. But he can't convince Nagato.

Of course, Aoba had expected this a long time ago. Nagato is the best villain in the story of Naruto. From origin, to experience, to purpose, to execution, it is perfect.

Later, Uchiha Madara was more oppressive. But the details were not as rich as Nagato.

But again, Nagato is an idealist. The death of his friend Yahiko made Nagato fall into a state of guilt, pain, anger, and even madness.

He actually wanted a more thorough revenge, even to destroy the world. But Yahiko's ideas were deeply imprinted in his mind.

The two ideas made Nagato live in mental pain, and the Samsara Eye made his body painful. It can be said that Nagato is now under unimaginable pressure in both spirit and body.

If he was not a member of the Uzumaki clan, I am afraid that the whole person would have completely collapsed.

In this case, what helped him support himself was probably his identity as the child of destiny. He who awakened the Samsara Eye was destined to change the world.

This idea is now Nagato's motivation.

In the original plot, Konan believed that the Samsara Eye belonged to Nagato until his death. But in this life, Qingye opened this window paper in advance. Let Xiaonan realize that the entire Akatsuki organization is in a huge conspiracy.

Qingye did not reveal more.

As a time traveler, he came to this world to change the plot. But he can't change it casually. What he needs is that the world line develops according to his will. Let the so-called plot always be in his hands.

At present, he has changed the original plot in a lot of details. But the overall plot direction is always under his control.

But Qingye knows that this control is not permanent. As he changes more and more things, one day, the plot will be completely out of control.

What he has to do is, as much as possible.

Improve yourself as much as possible. Before that day comes, gain the power to crush the whole field.

In addition, he also began to try to train his own people. Whether it is strength or momentum, it must be impeccable.

Xiaonan wanted to ask something else, but hesitated for a while and finally did not continue to speak. Kakuzu, on the other hand, was very interested in Aoba.

Kakuzu, an old guy who has lived from World War I to the present. In fact, he is very valuable here in Aoba. But now is not the time to recruit Kakuzu.

After Xiaonan and Jiaozu left. Aoba also quickly rushed back to Konoha, mainly because Konoha had a big event today. It is not possible not to show up.

This is a funeral.

Konoha has not held this event for a long time. The whole Konoha is immersed in a sad atmosphere.

Of course, this is not just because of the death of the third generation. More of that war, Konoha died too many people.

In a village, everyone is either related or neighbors. Almost everyone has relatives or acquaintances who have passed away.

Therefore, this funeral is not only the funeral of the Hokage. It is also the collective funeral of countless victims.

This concept was proposed by Aoba last night. Then the village added it urgently. Kamikawa Aoba does not hold any actual position now. But what he said is still the most important in Konoha.

There was a drizzle in the sky. It added a touch of sadness to this funeral.

Aoba stood in the crowd and felt like a villain. Because he could have stopped it all. But in the end he chose to let it go.

He found that he had miscalculated one thing. With the help of Orochimaru, cleansing Konoha is essentially to avoid the moral level of himself.

But in fact, morality and conscience are essentially a kind of talent. If you have it, you have it, and if you don’t, you don’t have it.

You can’t wake up a person without conscience. Most of the time, they don’t deserve to be awakened. But you can’t eliminate the guilt in the heart of a person with conscience. Because conscience will not disappear.

With this trace of guilt, Aoba placed the flowers in his hand in front of the memorial.

In the sky, a sharp eagle cry interrupted the funeral below.

"The patrolling ninja in the northeast of Konoha encountered a large number of cloud ninjas and sent out a distress signal."

"Very good."

Aoba turned around and signaled to Kakashi. Then he disappeared into the crowd.
