Naruto: The Strongest Sage

The battle was a battle, but the battle was over.

In the Land of Rain, Beiluhu was conducting his first actual combat training after the Demon Bud Technique.

The person he was practicing with was Shin. At this time, he had unlocked the second gate of the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu. His speed was greatly improved.

But he still couldn't keep up with Beiluhu's movements. However, he had the dynamic vision of the Sharingan, plus strong physical strength and recovery ability. He could kill Beiluhu with exhaustion.

If he used Wood Release with all his strength without disguising it, Beiluhu's current level of Swift Release would still not be enough.

Swift Release, as the name suggests, is a high-speed escape technique. This is the first sample of Kekkei Genkai that Beiluhu requested himself.

Beiluhu's talent is mediocre. But this so-called average refers to the comparison with Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru in those days.

In fact, Hiruko himself has the strength of a jonin. Otherwise, he would not have been able to defect for so many years.

He is not a relative like Orochimaru, and the Anbu who is tracking him will not hold back. This guy has been able to evade Konoha's pursuit for so many years, and he must have some strength.

It's just that he is too ambitious and always wants to compete with Orochimaru.

Ninja is a profession that requires extreme talent. If you don't have talent, you can rely on hard work. But the difficulty rises sharply. And it also requires a considerable degree of opportunity and special methods.

Apart from other things, most people are born with only one or two chakra attributes. And the transformation of attributes can be cultivated after birth.

But look at the entire ninja world. How many ninjas can have all five attributes?

In fact, except for a few ninjas in Konoha. Most ninjas in ninja villages are only proficient in one or two attributes. This is the case for the shadows of each village, not to mention other ninjas.

But look at Konoha, the Third Hokage, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Kakashi, all of them are ninjas with all five attributes.

Although it is not clearly stated. But the Second Hokage should also be. Otherwise, it is impossible to conduct various complex research.

Before Aoba mastered the transformation of Yang escape and Yin escape chakra. It was also very difficult to study Hashirama's cells.

Mastering all the five elements of chakra and being able to use them flexibly. The upper limit is definitely the level of Kage.

This is a path that anyone can do in theory. But in reality, it is almost impossible to do.

The training of ninjas requires money and time. But most ninjas don't have time. Missions, battles, rest, family, these things will consume all the energy of a civilian ninja.

Most people don't have the time and energy to complete this complex training. The final achievement is still based on talent.

This world has never been fair. Because some people can master it just by practicing casually. And they can also develop more deeply and walk their own way.

Here is the third generation. The third generation of the ruling level can be called a mess. However, as a Hokage who does not use blood limit or secret technique.

His path is actually the hope of an ordinary civilian ninja.

Of course, most civilian ninjas did not notice it. Although Sarutobi Hiruzen seems to have no secret technique and blood limit. But he is not a civilian. The Sarutobi clan is the top clan of Konoha.

However, when Sarutobi Hiruzen was in power, he deliberately controlled the information of the Sarutobi clan. As a result, most people knew about the Sarutobi clan. But they just thought that the other party was a small ninja clan.

The Sarutobi clan is also very low-key. The number of ninjas registered in the village is only the number of medium-sized ninjas.

However, Aoba knows the foundation of the Sarutobi clan. Although this clan has no secret technique and blood limit. But as a Hokage, Sarutobi naturally uses all kinds of ninjutsu resources at will.

In fact, the current Sarutobi clan has developed into a large ninja clan with fire escape ninjutsu as the main method. The number of real ninjas inside far exceeds that of traditional Konoha clans such as Hyuga and Ino-Shika-Chou.

Such a huge force is hidden in a family, which is a huge waste of resources. The key is that your family grew up by sucking the blood of Konoha. Isn't it natural to contribute to Konoha?

Aoba had determined the plan for the Sarutobi clan a long time ago. But Tsunade held back. She had some concerns about this. After all, she had just taken office, and targeting the family of the previous Hokage would inevitably cause a blow to her reputation.

Aoba also agreed to postpone it. But soon, Tsunade brought up the matter herself.

When Aoba received the news and went to the meeting, he was also confused.

Force.

"I thought you would wait for a while."

"That's true in theory. But Konoha doesn't have enough manpower now. I need more manpower."

"Not enough? Are there so many tasks in the village recently?" Aoba was also surprised. He didn't notice how many tasks Konoha had before. He is the assistant of the Hokage. If there is such a phenomenon, he can't be unaware of it.

"...It's not a task problem. It's...the shipping business that Cardo cooperated with us delivered the first income three days ago."

"A lot?" Aoba began to realize something.

"Well, there are a full 20 million taels."

20 million taels is not a lot for Aoba. You have to know that the Cardo Group is controlled by him behind the scenes. Although he didn't intervene directly.

But there is Zabuza watching over there. At the same time, he has a Mangekyo. A large number of senior executives of companies around Cardo are under Aoba's control. Therefore, he is very clear about the size of the entire Cardo Group.

For the current Cardo Group, a business of 20 million taels is not actually big.

He originally estimated that it would be at least 40 million ryo. It seems that Tsunade was conservative before.

"So, Lord Hokage wants to strengthen cooperation?"

"That's right. The village is too short of money. The damage caused by the previous war, as well as various new policies and the introduction of new benefits, all require large expenditures. It is far from enough to rely solely on the funding from the daimyo. We need more income.

But Kado needs a lot of manpower. If I transfer a large number of people to him, the tasks on the village side will be affected. This will cause a certain blow to Konoha's reputation.

So, I need to take care of both sides at the same time. In this way, a large number of people are needed. And it is Enough elite personnel. "

"It's not a big problem. All the major ninja clans have their own personnel. At present, more than one ninja clan is willing to approach us.

As long as we share a little benefit, we can get their support, and there is no problem with manpower. But the Sarutobi clan has always been low-key. I guess they won't say anything. "

"I know. But how to say it? The Sarutobi clan is only low-key on the surface. These days, I have collected some intelligence on the Sarutobi clan, you can take a look. "

Tsunade said, handing a stack of information to Aoba.

Aoba opened the information and glanced at it, and a surprised expression appeared on his face.
