Naruto: The Strongest Sage

The old man was so angry that he was forced to leave.

Orochimaru once thought he had found Aoba's secret.

Why did the other party suddenly become stronger and know so many secrets? That's because Kamikawa Aoba got the inheritance of the Six Paths Sage.

But Aoba's answer was completely the opposite.

Orochimaru was silent for a long time, and then the body with Sasuke's face began to slowly disappear.

"Although there are still many things that are unclear. But I roughly understand what you are doing. I have to say, Aoba-kun. You are really different. Compared with you, my pursuit seems a little insignificant.

But it doesn't matter, it's because of people like you. This world makes me more interested. It's really interesting, hahahaha."

After a standard Orochimaru-style laugh. The last words of Orochimaru's instructions came.

"Tell Sasuke that this is a gift from me."

Sasuke felt that he had a dream. The content of the dream was huge and complicated, with a feeling that was both strange and familiar.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Aoba Sakura and Karin standing by the window.

"Teacher Aoba, what's wrong with me?"

"Feel it yourself, you should be able to feel it now."

After hearing this, Sasuke closed his eyes and felt his body. There was nothing wrong with his body, and there was no discomfort. On the contrary, he could feel that the chakra in his body had increased.

He could even feel that the previous cursed chakra had merged with his own chakra. It made his chakra extremely powerful.

And this is not all. The biggest change in himself is that there are a lot of skills in his mind. Ninjutsu, forbidden techniques, swordsmanship, and even combat experience, etc.

"What happened? I feel like I'm different."

"It's true. The power of the seal has completely merged with you. And you don't have to worry about the backlash of the seal."

"Why? I don't remember defeating Orochimaru."

"That's right, there was no fight. He gave up this part of his spirit and skills and made you perfect."

"Made me perfect? ​​Why?"

"Hehe, you can probably think of it as an early investment."

The skills that Orochimaru sealed in Sasuke's body were during the Chunin Exam. The combat experience and various ninjutsu were also from that time.

According to Aoba's standards, it's not that strong. And Sasuke can't accept it all. But he was one of the famous three ninjas of that era. A real Kage-level master.

Even if Sasuke can only accept about half, it is definitely enough for him to digest.

There is nothing wrong with Sasuke's talent. What he lacks is time and experience. Now Orochimaru has made up for him with the key link of experience. There is basically no bottleneck in his growth in the future.

After checking his changes, Sasuke was silent for a while, and then he spoke about a situation that surprised Aoba.

"Teacher Aoba, I feel like my Sharingan is about to awaken."

"Awaken?"

Aoba was stunned for a moment, and then thought of Orochimaru's gift. After fusing with the curse seal, Sasuke's body and spirit have been greatly improved.

This may have had an impact on his body's self-awareness.

According to Aoba's judgment, the reason why Sasuke's Sharingan cannot awaken the Mangekyō is the body's self-protection, because the awakening of the Mangekyō is too much of a burden on the body. As the reincarnation of Indra, he has a stronger Otsutsuki gene. The body's self-regulation ability is stronger. Automatically suppressing the awakening of the Mangekyō.

And now, after the improvement of physical fitness, this suppression seems to be released.

"This should be normal. But for the sake of safety, you should live in the laboratory during this period, and let Sakura monitor your body changes at any time."

"I understand. Thank you, Sakura."

Aoba nodded, then handed the time to a few young people, and left the laboratory.

News came from the Hokage's office, and Aoba rushed to attend the meeting.

At this time, Konoha had a lot of Hokage. But the four resurrected Hokage were more sensible. They defaulted to not interfering in Konoha's high-level meetings.

Currently, the second generation Senju Tobirama went to the research institute to work on the research and development and decryption of Black Zetsu's body. The fourth generation Namikaze Minato went to teach his son Naruto.

The third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was incorporated into the secret team of the Anbu and began to go out on missions. As for Senju Hashirama, he is one of Konoha's trump cards.

Aoba vs. Hashirama

Aoba's request was that one of him and Hashirama must always stay in Konoha. This was to prevent Konoha from being in crisis.

Because no matter if it was Madara, Konoha, or Nagato who really attacked. If Aoba was not there, only Hashirama could deal with it.

Even if Hashirama was not in his perfect form, 70% to 80% of his strength was enough to deal with any enemy during this time period.

In the meeting room, Tsunade, Kakashi, Shikaku, and Hiashi were already waiting.

"Since everyone is here, let's start the meeting now." Tsunade said, throwing a document to Aoba.

"This is the news from the Anbu. Take a look first."

Aoba took the document and opened it to read. After a few minutes, he put down the document in his hand.

"The content of the document is very simple. The Hidden Cloud Village was attacked by the Akatsuki organization."

The Hidden Cloud Village is now the weakest after the three wars. The Raikage was disabled, the Eight-Tails died in the battle, and a large number of elites were lost in the previous battle with Konoha. The entire ninja village was seriously injured.

Kumogakure knew that they were weak, so they tried their best to keep a low profile. But they still didn't expect to be targeted by Akatsuki.

Under normal circumstances, Akatsuki would not target Kumogakure so early. Just like the previous test by Hiruko was aimed at Sand Village.

But now, it is clear that they are bullying the drowning dog.

"The war between Akatsuki and Kumogakure seems to be completely in the interests of our Konoha. And the intelligence shows that Akatsuki has only conducted a test and has not really started the war. Why are we in a hurry?"

"It's not us, it's the daimyo." Tsunade gave an explanation. At the same time, she handed over another document.

"This is the official order document issued to us by the daimyo of the Land of Fire. It requires us to assist Kumogakure and wipe out Akatsuki."

Aoba glanced at the document and threw it on the table.

"Did the Daimyo of the Land of Fire get kicked in the head by a donkey? The Land of Lightning and the Land of Fire are enemies, and they want us to help the enemy?"

"The order seems unreasonable, but if you think about it deeply, it is not impossible. I think the Daimyo of the Land of Fire may be testing us. Many of Konoha's previous actions ignored or even violated the Daimyo's orders.

They should have noticed something. That's why they issued this order. It is to test our obedience."

Shikaku's analysis is still reasonable. Qingye took the document, read it again, and then threw it away.

"To be honest, if they didn't do this, I would have almost forgotten that there was such a group of guys. But since they jumped out, let's solve this problem first. After all, we must first stabilize the country before we can resist foreign aggression."
