Naruto: The Strongest Sage

After the second wave of pursuers was dealt with, Aoba led the mother and daughter into the territory of the Land of Fire quickly. But then, another group of Kusanagi came after them. That's right, Kusanagi blatantly crossed the border and chased Aoba into the Land of Fire. What does this mean? Konoha, the largest village in the ninja world, seems to have no deterrent power against Kusanagi. Fortunately, a few Kusanagi didn't dare to chase deeper. Because there is a Konoha outpost on the border of the Land of Fire. It doesn't matter if you enter the country without permission and walk around in the uninhabited area. But once you are discovered by the outpost, it is an illegal invasion, and then it will be a real war crisis. It's not that ninjas from other countries can't enter the Land of Fire. It's that ninjas are military units. If you want to come, you have to go through the formal channels. Several grass ninjas entered the Land of Fire but failed to catch up with Aoba. In the end, they did not dare to chase him deeply and could only retreat helplessly.

"Okay, we are safe now."

Aoba put down the mother and daughter. After running a long distance, he killed six grass ninjas in the middle. Aoba was actually quite tired. As I said, he didn't have much chakra. Whether it was traveling or fighting, he needed to be thrifty.

In the wild, he found a cave. After Aoba ate the soldier's grain pill, he recovered most of his chakra.

Then he shot a few grouse and hares and roasted them for dinner.

After a good meal. The tired Karin fell asleep directly in her mother's arms.

Seeing this, Aoba took out a blanket from the seal scroll and handed it to Karin's mother.

"Thank you." She gently put Karin down and covered her with the blanket. After that, Karin's mother stood up and solemnly bowed to Aoba.

"My name is Uzumaki Yumi, thank you for your help, sir."

Aoba stood up and helped her up.

"You don't have to do this. I saved you for my own purpose. In the future, you may all work for me."

Aoba made no secret of his intention to need the two to work for him. Karin's mother was not surprised.

There is no love without reason in this world. The other party took such a big risk to rescue the two of them from the Kusagakure Village, and there must be a purpose.

But at present, it seems that the other party's love for Karin is real. In any case, the other party is definitely a master who is many times better than Kusagakure.

"As long as sir can treat Karin well and let her live a safe life. We are willing to work for you. It's a pity that my body may not last too long."

Aoba lifted the other party's sleeves, looked at the dense scars on it, and sighed.

"Your problem is indeed very serious. Those grass ninjas bit you without restraint, which has seriously damaged your vitality.

But don't be too pessimistic. I won't treat you like the grass ninjas. As long as you don't waste your vitality casually, you will definitely be able to last longer than you think.

The physique of your Uzumaki clan is much stronger than you think. Moreover, I know a way to save you. But it takes time to do it.

So, if you don't want your daughter to become an orphan, if you want to accompany her to grow up, just stick to it. Believe me, I will save you."

Who would be willing to die if they can live? What's more, Yumi has a daughter named Karin.

"Thank you, sir. I will try my best to live. For Karin and for you."

"And for yourself." Aoba added.

After resting for a night, Aoba took the mother and daughter and continued to move towards Konoha.

Because it was a rare free time, Aoba was not in a hurry. After there was no threat of pursuers, he began to travel slowly.

The main thing was that he needed to face a problem now. That is whether to bring Karin and her daughter back to Konoha, or settle them outside Konoha.

If they are brought back to Konoha, should their identities as members of the Uzumaki clan be concealed?

These problems are all about to be faced. Aoba is a little undecided.

After thinking about it, it is absolutely not possible to leave them outside Konoha. At this time, Konoha is facing internal and external troubles, and other major countries are ready to move. In the original plot, although the war did not really start. But various frictions are absolutely inevitable.

Along the way, I even heard that there was news that Kumogakure has stationed troops on the border.

Under such a situation, there are countless spies and bounty hunters around Konoha. This mother and daughter have no ability to protect themselves. Once they are left there and noticed, Aoba will not be able to rescue them in time.

Therefore, it is inevitable to bring them back to Konoha. But it is not absolutely safe in Konoha

. Apart from anything else, if Danzo knew about their abilities, there would definitely be no good results.

In Konoha, Aoba could not fight against Danzo who controlled the entire Root for the time being.

But it was almost impossible to hide his identity. As for the hair problem, he could dye his hair. But as long as Karin went to school, people would definitely find out.

Especially with the old pervert, the Third Generation, who used the telescope technique to look around all day. Danzo's Root was also full of eyeliner.

It was hidden for a while, but it was impossible to hide for a long time. Aoba originally wanted Yumi to make her own decision.

But the other party said. She knew nothing about the situation inside Konoha and could not make a correct judgment at all.

So, in the end, Aoba decided to take them back and not hide their identities.

Because with Danzo's personality, the more he concealed, the more dangerous it would be after he found out. So he didn't conceal it directly, and just treated them as a pair of Uzumaki descendants in distress. It was relatively safer.

But this was not absolutely safe. Aoba still needs to do something to make this matter safer.

When he saw the gate of Konoha, he calculated the time. It had been more than a month since Aoba went on the mission.

At the door, he used his status as a senior ninja to guarantee the two people and passed the review of the two Konoha gate gods.

Before he even got home, he met an Anbu ninja who was delivering a message.

"Kamikawa Aoba, go to the Hokage's office to report immediately."

"Got it."

He said he knew it. But Aoba did not rush directly to the Hokage's office. Instead, he took the mother and daughter to his own home first.

"Well, I live alone. So it's a bit messy. You guys make do with it for now, and I'll come back to clean it up.

Listen, Yumi, this is Konoha. In most cases, it's safe. But I can't guarantee it absolutely. So, don't walk around, stay here, and wait for me to come back. Also, don't forget the countermeasures we discussed."

"I know, sir." Yumi blushed slightly and nodded in agreement.

Yumi said as she carried Karin into the house. The little girl was sleeping again. It might be because she was in Kusagakure Village and was worried all day long and couldn't sleep well.

Following Aoba, she slept in the open air all the way. She slept particularly well. She often fell asleep on Aoba's back.

After simply settling the two of them down, Aoba turned around and rushed towards the Hokage Building.
