Naruto: The Strongest Sage

The conflict between Konoha and Kumogakure eventually failed to develop.

Qingye didn't know how it all ended in the original history. But this time, he cut off one of the fingers of the Raikage, which was definitely an important reason.

The Raikage needs time to adapt to the fighting style of three fingers. Although Konoha is weak, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and it is not something that Kumogakure can easily control.

A month later, the Kumogakure on the border officially withdrew its troops. Konoha also ushered in the "peace" it wanted.

Of course, the most relaxed is the Kingdom of Soup. They are sandwiched between the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Lightning. The Kumogakure stationing troops on the border is actually stationing troops on their territory. Not only that, the Kingdom of Soup also needs to supply military rations. It was really unbearable, worse than South Korea now.

However, that conflict still triggered a huge debate. The most representative of them was the reputation of Aoba's Wind Chaser Sword, which finally spread in Konoha.

He was not inferior to Raikage in a head-on fight, and even cut off Raikage's finger, gaining the advantage. For a time, Aoba has become the pillar of the new generation of ninjas in the entire Konoha.

He is called the second White Fang of Konoha.

In fact, Aoba's limelight was originally overshadowed by Jiraiya and Danzo. But Jiraiya's final act of letting Raikage go made Aoba stand out again and force a wave of presence.

In this way, his reputation inevitably spread.

The main reason is that Aoba's approach this time is completely different from the controversial White Fang at the beginning. He went to the battle head-on and faced Raikage. Whether it is from the heart or political correctness, it is impeccable.

Even Danzo can't find fault with it.

The most important thing is that after that battle, Danzo had a heart of "loving talents". He recruited Aoba several times to join the root. But Aoba refused every time.

Perhaps it was because Aoba showed a high fighting power at that time. Or maybe it was because Aoba was obviously not as stupid as White Fang.

Danzo was very careful this time. There was no immediate action against Aoba.

During this period, the most uncomfortable person was the Third Hokage. Although he had explained his behavior of letting the Raikage go.

It was nothing more than that the village was in a difficult time, loved peace, and did not want the ninjas of the village to sacrifice.

But how to say it? This kind of explanation after the fact is far less shocking than what he saw with his own eyes that day.

If he had not been in office for these years, he would still have a considerable reputation. I am afraid that the incident would be criticized.

Fortunately, after a period of cold treatment, the people of Konoha have begun to slowly forget the incident.

After all, people are forgetful.

..................

Konoha, the underground laboratory of the Aoba family.

A ball of fire spurted out of Aoba's mouth, burning the half-flesh, half-plant thing in front of him that was twisting and proliferating into ash.

"The seventy-ninth Hashirama cell fusion experiment failed."

Yumi on the side took notes.

"Do you really want to transplant that thing into yourself? It looks so dangerous."

Aoba's previous project was to use his own cells to fuse with Hashirama's cells. But there is no doubt that his cells will be swallowed up instantly. Then gradually the cells began to proliferate wildly.

He tried to use various means to assist this fusion. But the final results were similar.

"Now it seems that it is basically impossible to promote this fusion by biological means alone."

"But you also used chakra as an aid. It didn't succeed either."

In fact, Aoba not only used chakra as an aid. He also used Yang escape chakra as a harmonizer.

His original idea was that Hashirama, as a natural immortal body, should be compatible with Yang attribute chakra. Using Yang attribute chakra might be effective. But the result is that after injecting the Yang attribute chakra, Hashirama's cells became more active. He turned directly into a half-flesh, half-plant monster.

Aoba does not have chakra of all attributes.

However, in this world, it is not that you cannot use this attribute ninjutsu just because you do not have a certain attribute.

As long as you practice, you can actually transform chakra of a certain attribute and perform ninjutsu.

It's just that ninja is a high-agility profession. Transform first, then perform the technique, which basically does not have practicality.

So, not having a certain attribute does not mean that you cannot use this attribute ninjutsu.

This means that this type of chakra cannot be used. It is just that this type of ninjutsu cannot be used in actual combat.

Aoba does not have yang-attribute chakra. But in the laboratory, similar experiments can still be carried out.

So far, he has tried all types of chakra for stimulation. But none of them have achieved the desired effect.

Aoba is a little helpless. Hashirama cells are a cheat in this world. But who can use this cheat still depends on luck and the arrangements of some guys.

Just as Aoba was about to end today's experiment, he suddenly thought of a new direction.

In addition to chakra, he has another type of energy that he has not tried, natural energy.

"Prepare for the 80th experiment."

Yumi never refutes her decisions. She immediately began to prepare. Although she is not a ninja. But she has learned a lot of professional knowledge from Aoba. All kinds of preparations and auxiliary work are done very smoothly.

Aoba drew a little blood from himself and then added Hashirama's cells again.

This time, Aoba gave up all the neutralizers at the biological level. Because Hashirama's cells are too strong. Most of the neutralizers at the biological level will become its nutrients.

So, this time, Qingye directly injected natural energy and then observed the results.

At the first time, Hashirama's cells were still active and began to devour Qingye's cells. But this time, Qingye's cells contained natural energy. Its devouring was not so smooth.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary cells will directly turn into rocks when they come into contact with natural energy. But Hashirama himself is a fairy body. Cells are naturally able to adapt to natural energy. Therefore, the whole process is much smoother than the previous experimental process.

Unfortunately, this state did not last too long. With the exhaustion of natural energy, the previous crazy proliferation appeared again.

After burning the experimental body to ashes again. Qingye was not frustrated, but a little excited. Because this experiment finally had something different.

Although natural energy did not help him complete the experiment. But it obviously had an effect. In the case that White Zetsu has not yet been obtained, this is already the best experimental result.

After the experiment was over. Karin's shout came from above.

"Mom, mom, where are you, I'm starving!"
