Naruto: The Strongest Sage

The battle was over, but the enemy was still alive.

Aoba never used his full strength. In fact, he entered the Sage Mode, which was enough to kill the group of Cloud Ninjas in front of him.

Under the Sage Mode, the attack power of his moves doubled, which was not something that ordinary ninjas could contend with. It can be said that he was the nemesis of the reckless Cloud Ninjas.

But in fact, he didn't dare to do it at all.

Just like what he said to Hongdou. Their mission has been completed in excess. However, it was not a mission to transport supplies, but a bait mission.

With the help of the perception of the wind escape, Aoba could clearly perceive that there were two enemies in the woods in the distance who had not yet taken action.

One of the two guys, Aoba was very familiar with him. Because that guy was the Fourth Raikage. As for the other one, Aoba didn't see his face. But the identity of the other party was confirmed from a distance.

That was a chakra reaction as huge as a volcano. That guy was the Eight-tailed Jinchūriki.

Compared with the Kages of other villages, the Raikage can be said to be the Kage who likes to fight in person the most. This guy has practiced the Lightning Release Body Forging Technique to a very deep level. He is extremely energetic and is a complete fighting maniac.

Compared with the third generation of Konoha, unless he is trapped in a cage, he will never make a move casually...

Aoba is not afraid of the Raikage now. This guy is powerful, and he may not be much weaker than him when he enters the Sage Mode. And even if he can't beat him, he has the confidence to escape from the opponent.

What he is really worried about is the Eight-tailed Jinchūriki.

This guy is a perfect Jinchūriki. The kind that can mobilize the power of the tailed beasts at will. The key is that Aoba remembers that the tailed beasts can sense natural energy.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, Aoba does not want to expose the trump card of his sage technique. Therefore, he has not used the Sage Mode.

He is waiting, waiting for the reinforcements of Konoha to arrive. The third generation guy is bad at everything, but there is one thing that is useful at certain times. That is, he usually has a little bit of face.

This is completely different from Danzo. Danzo is a shameless guy.

Konoha's resistance is very difficult. Except for Aoba and Hongdou who can handle it with ease. The rest of the people have been in a tough battle.

Five minutes after the start of the battle, nearly half of the 30-man team had been killed or wounded.

The remaining people gathered together and used combined ninjutsu to barely block the attack of the Cloud Ninja. But chakra is limited. At most five minutes, they will completely lose their resistance.

Hongdou has even begun to despair.

"How is it possible? This is the heartland of the Land of Fire. The absolute control of the Wood Industry, why do we encounter such an attack in such a place?"

"Because this is our mission."

Aoba named Hongdou in one sentence. Hongdou was stunned for a moment. Then she seemed to realize something.

"If we are bait, then the support from the Anbu should have arrived by now."

Aoba looked back at the way they came. He had actually sensed the approach of a large number of ninjas. But they did not attack directly. They just stood by.

It seems that there are still many people in Konoha who want to take this opportunity to eliminate Orochimaru's network of relationships.

But at this time, Aoba suddenly felt that the crowd behind him was in turmoil.

Because his perception was only with the help of the wind, sensing the chakra within a certain range. It was far inferior to the Byakugan and Kagura's heart's eye. Therefore, he didn't know what happened behind him. He just felt that someone had activated the chakra and rushed over.

From a distance, he could see a conspicuous white-haired ninja coming to support at high speed.

It was Kakashi. Aoba smiled. Judging from this situation, Kakashi should have disobeyed orders and forced reinforcements to come.

The two killed through the blockade of the Cloud Ninja and joined together.

"What's going on? Are you the only one?"

"No, the situation is not good. We expected the enemy to attack. But we didn't expect that the enemy's combat power exceeded our ability to deal with it. So, the rear decided to wait for reinforcements."

"...So, the reason for no reinforcements is that the reinforcements are waiting for reinforcements?"

"...Almost."

Aoba understood that the reinforcements of the Anbu should have noticed the existence of the Raikage. After all, the reinforcements must have a perception team. It is normal to detect the other party.

This is the embarrassing part. They may have prepared a large number of elite ninjas to serve as reinforcements. But the Hokage is unlikely to come in person. Therefore, no one in the army can

The existence of the level of the Raikage.

So, the commander ordered to continue waiting. The consequence was that they watched Aoba and his people die in battle.

"Konoha still has the existence of the Raikage, are you waiting for the Hokage?"

"......Hokage did not go to battle. But Jiraiya has arrived."

"Jiraiya, that's okay."

Aoba was not relaxed in his heart. Jiraiya is indeed strong, if he enters the Sage Mode. In the current ninja world, there are not many people who can beat him at this time.

But he can't fight against the Raikage and the Eight-tailed Jinchuriki at the same time. At this time, Konoha's Jinchuriki has not formed a fighting force.

Apart from anything else, once the war is exciting. The Eight-tailed Jinchuriki directly fired a Tailed Beast Ball at everyone. That would be a complete disaster.

Under normal circumstances, the major ninja villages will regard the Tailed Beasts as strategic weapons. The Tailed Beast Balls will not be used easily. Because the consequences of this thing are devastating. It's almost like a nuclear weapon.

Everyone used one, and the others used it. After a few Tailed Beast Balls, the five ninja villages turned into five basins.

But this thing has no effect in front of Kumogakure. These mad dogs really dare to use it if they have the chance. So, Aoba is not very optimistic about the current situation.

To put it bluntly, Konoha is still too weak. There are too few masters who can stand alone.

Kakashi's arrival forced the reinforcements in the rear to join the battle in advance. At this time, the Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki who had been hiding finally showed up.

This so-called bait operation is actually two-way.

Konoha deliberately released the news that this team of ninjas was escorting important supplies. At the same time, there was Aoba, the mortal enemy of Kumogakure. Attract Kumogakure to send out elite troops for a sneak attack.

At the same time, Konoha assembled a large force, ready to come up with a yellow bird behind. Eat up this elite force of Kumogakure in one breath.

And the result is that the fish was caught. But the size is a bit too big, and the fishing line can't hold it.

Aoba glanced at the reinforcements.

Kakashi, Might Guy, and a large number of elite troops from the Anbu and the Root. Among them, some recognizable characters include Gekko Gale, Bianzu Leitong, and so on.

When he saw Might Guy, Aoba was relieved. With him here, there shouldn't be a big problem today.

But he also felt a little regretful. If Jiraiya couldn't arrive in time. Today's Might Guy might become a swan song.
