Naruto: The Strongest Sage

The first thing is that because you are far away in the frontier, your promotion report to Jonin has been delayed for a long time.

Due to your military exploits over the years, the advisory group and I have unanimously decided that you have all the qualities to become a Konoha Jonin. So, from today on, you will be promoted to Konoha Jonin."

Promotion to Jonin was something Aoba expected. What he cares about now is the second thing.

After receiving the letter of appointment. Yuan Fei Hiruzen continued.

"Since you are a jonin of Konoha, you need to play your due role. I have an S-level mission for you to complete.

Don't worry, I'm not going to let you go alone. For this mission, there will be a jonin team from the Anbu and the Root. This is the detailed arrangement of the mission, you can go back and prepare."

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not directly say what the mission was, but handed him a mission scroll. This is a very formal and high-end mission process.

Aoba took the scroll and then said goodbye.

Leaving the Hokage's office, he opened the scroll and glanced at it.

"Hunting Orochimaru... Interesting."

The mission was a bit unexpected. Mainly because Aoba guessed that the upper echelons of Konoha would not let him stay in the village, so they would definitely arrange a mission for him to go out. He just didn't expect that the mission was to let him hunt Orochimaru.

A serious jonin like him is not just a high-end combat force in the village. Generally speaking, jonin will hold some positions with real power.

However, it seems that the upper echelons have no intention of letting him hold a specific position.

Because it was an S-level mission, he had two days to prepare for the rest. Therefore, Qingye was not in a hurry. Instead, he casually strolled around Konoha.

After all, he hadn't been back to this place for three years.

The Land of Fire can be said to be the chosen country in this world. It occupies the best land resources on this continent. Konoha Village is also the richest and most prosperous of the five major ninja villages.

Even from the perspective of the previous life, this town-level village is still well built.

Walking to a snack bar, Qingye bought a few strings of Konoha's famous snacks, three-color meatballs.

He is not keen on sweets. But after all, he hasn't eaten it for three years. It's no problem to eat something new.

But just after buying it, his hand paused slightly. Because he felt someone was looking at him.

Looking back, he saw a short yellow-haired child standing not far away and looking at him.

Uzumaki Naruto, the absolute protagonist of this world. The future seventh Hokage, the reincarnation of Ashura, the strongest ninja with a mouthful of tricks...

Shaking his head to get rid of all the silly information that appeared in his mind. Aoba walked directly in front of Naruto.

"Do we know each other?"

"Ah, sorry, brother, I just think you are a little strange. Are you a ninja?"

Naruto pointed at the forehead protector on Aoba's head and said.

"Yes, I am Kamikawa Aoba, the new ninja of Konoha."

"Ah, my name is Uzumaki Naruto. I am a student of Konoha Ninja School. Wait and see, brother, I will soon become a ninja like you. And I will become the most powerful ninja, that is, Hokage."

Naruto's painting style is somewhat similar to Kai's. But Kai's is a little more awkward. Naruto, this kid, is a clear stupid style...

Aoba really wants to tell Naruto that Hokage is not the strongest ninja. In the later period, the third generation can't even rank in the top ten. But for Naruto at this time, he is still willing to give some face.

"What a motivated kid, this is for you, just consider it as an early celebration for you becoming Hokage."

"......Ah......"

Naruto suddenly yelled, startling Aoba.

"What's wrong?"

"Brother, do you agree with my dream?"

"Why not? No one has the right to deny other people's dreams."

"That's right. That's right, no one can deny my dream." Naruto had an expression of enlightenment on his face. Aoba was embarrassed. The main reason was that this kid was yelling, which had attracted many people around.

Turned around and asked for two more cups of red bean soup, and handed one to Naruto.

"Okay, we're here to block others."

There were many people in the crowd who were undisguisedly malicious towards Naruto. It was just because of the forehead protector on Aoba's forehead that they didn't dare to speak loudly.

Aoba had hardly seen Uzumaki Naruto. After the death of the fourth generation, Naruto had just become a Jinchūriki. His identity was kept absolutely confidential.

Between Orochimaru and

The fourth generation had a competition for the position of Hokage. As a descendant of Orochimaru, Aoba naturally could not contact Naruto.

Afterwards, Orochimaru completely fell and began to conduct human experiments unscrupulously. Then he was discovered by the village. The third generation Hokage, who had returned to power, personally arrested him, but at the last moment, he let Orochimaru go (the specific time of Orochimaru's defection is controversial, and my setting is the standard here).

Then Aoba had the experience of being exiled. So, strictly speaking, this was the first time Aoba met Uzumaki Naruto.

In fact, the first time he came into contact with Naruto. He could sense that there were four different angles of view around him.

But Aoba didn't care. He even had the intention of going against the wind. He directly bought meatballs and red bean soup for Naruto and ate them while walking.

The four Anbu behind him were so nervous that they almost rushed over. The main reason was that Aoba was the focus of attention as instructed by the higher-ups. Uzumaki Naruto was an absolute taboo.

Aoba seemed to have no feeling. Continue chatting with Naruto.

"Brother, do you know ninjutsu? I'm studying theory all day at the Ninja School, and I can't learn a single ninjutsu."

"Of course I know ninjutsu, just watch." Qingye threw the bamboo stick in his hand, and a moment later. A leaf fell from the branch.

"What? Isn't this just shuriken throwing? Is this also called ninjutsu?"

"Don't worry, just watch." Qingye asked Naruto to be patient.

I saw the leaf lightly falling in front of Qingye. When it fell to the level of his eyes, the leaf suddenly cracked.

It was like being cut by some invisible blade. The leaf turned into more than a dozen pieces and floated in the air.

"Hey... What's going on? You didn't do anything?"

"Hehe, this is ninjutsu. Ninjutsu that belongs to me."

I see. Naruto certainly didn't understand what the scene just now meant. But in his confusion, he still felt that the previous one should be very powerful. After all, this big brother did nothing but let the leaves break.

"Big brother, can you teach me that move just now?"

"Hehe, Naruto. Everyone's ninjutsu is a secret that belongs to them alone. Do you know? Don't ask about other people's ninjutsu easily, it's very impolite."

"Ah, so that's the case." Naruto obviously became a little disappointed.

"However, I can still teach you something. Have you learned to extract chakra?"

"Of course, my chakra extraction is very good."

"That's good, follow me."
