Naruto: The Strongest Sage

The two of them were very close.

Aoba didn't really leave. On the contrary, after Naruto left, his figure appeared again by the river. But this time, it was not Naruto who stood in front of him, but Uchiha Sasuke.

At this time, Sasuke was looking at Aoba with red eyes.

In fact, Sasuke himself didn't know why he rushed out. At this time, the night of genocide had just passed. He hadn't even accepted it in his heart.

In most cases, schoolmates would not mention this matter in front of him. Hearing this from a stranger suddenly, the young Sasuke couldn't control his emotions at all.

"You know he..." Sasuke started to get excited again, even though Aoba didn't understand what he was excited about.

Speaking of which, the two protagonists in the Naruto world are really miserable.

They are all the kind of people who have lost their entire families and have deep blood feuds. The only difference is that Sasuke's actions are closer to the three views of normal people. Kill my entire family, and I will kill you.

And Naruto in the later period is more and more outrageous. Just my parents, they are dead, Obito, I forgive you. By the way, I also helped to forgive Neji who had just died less than a day ago...

"In fact, there is no official ninja in Konoha who doesn't know about that."

"Do you know where he is?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know. Uchiha Sasuke, I dare not say that I understand your feelings. In fact, there are not many people in the entire ninja world who dare to say that they understand your feelings. However, as an adult, I can still give you a little warning.

Everything should be planned before action. Uchiha Itachi is a very powerful ninja. All-round powerful. To defeat such a ninja, anger and hatred alone are far from enough.

You can maintain anger and hatred, which will give you motivation. But at the same time, you must also maintain a certain degree of rationality. That will allow you to make the right decision.

Practice climbing trees and treading water with Naruto. Chakra control training will help you regain your rationality."

There is a certain coincidence in contact with these two children, but there is also the factor that Aoba deliberately caters to them.

After all, they are two children of destiny, and Aoba is also prepared to leave a little bond since childhood. One day in the future, it may be used.

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

It's time to go out on the mission. The team for this mission is quite big. Anbu and Root each sent out a team. Including Aoba, there are a total of nine people in the pursuit team.

Whether it is Anbu or Root, they all wear masks, and Aoba can't recognize many of them. The only thing that can be confirmed is that one member of the Anbu team is from the Hyuga family, one is from the Aburame clan, and the other one is carrying a sword. Aoba inferred that it should be Gekko Gale.

Swordsmanship was popular in Konoha for a while. That was the time when Hatake Sakumo became famous. Konoha's White Fang was feared by the five major ninja villages.

At that time, there were many admirers of White Fang who learned to use swordsmanship.

Unfortunately, after White Fang's death, this trend quickly declined. As a result, there are very few people using swords in Konoha now. The famous Three-Day Moon Dance has only been passed down by less than a palm's worth of people.

The guy in front of him who occasionally coughs lightly should be the sickly ghost Gekko Gale later.

In the original plot, he was the examiner of the Chunin Exam when he first appeared. Now it seems that he probably quit the Anbu because his health deteriorated.

In this way, there is a swordsman who attacks, a Hyuga who tracks and senses, an Aburame who assists in traps, and the remaining one should be a ninjutsu-type ninja.

The composition and combat effectiveness of this team are very balanced and strong.

As for the Root, Aoba has no way to judge. After all, those guys in the Root rarely show up. Aoba has no experience in acting with the Root. He doesn't know their configuration, and there are no acquaintances in it.

The person in charge of this operation is the captain of the Root.

"The personnel have arrived, and the action begins."

A group of nine people left Konoha and embarked on the mission of hunting down Orochimaru.

In the original work, there is little description of Orochimaru at this time. Aoba doesn't know where this guy is.

But according to the time, he should have started preparing to build the Sound Village. After all, according to the time, the Chunin Exam will be held in a few years, and the Sound Village has been established for some time.

It takes more than one or two days to build a ninja village. Therefore, it is entirely possible for him to start preparing now.

Aoba has no hope for this mission.

Hope. First of all, from the perspective of combat power.

If the nine of them work together, they will definitely be able to fight against Orochimaru.

And there are at least two kendo masters in the team. This is obviously also prepared for Orochimaru. The cutting damage of swordsmanship obviously has a certain restraining effect on Orochimaru's soft body flow and snake-type ninjutsu.

But Orochimaru knows more than just these conventional ninjutsu. At this time, I don't know if he has completed the Impure World Reincarnation. Even without this forbidden technique, this guy is still proficient in countless ninjutsu of various systems. There are endless trump cards.

If the team is a little bit inconsistent, it is impossible to please him.

But in fact, this is absolutely impossible. First of all, the people of the root are absolutely untrustworthy. Because at this time, Orochimaru and Danzo should have a connection. The Sharingan in Danzo's hand should still be transplanted by Orochimaru.

They are now in a cooperative relationship. So the people of the root are absolutely untrustworthy. And even if they don't have a cooperative relationship, Aoba will not trust the root. Similarly, the Root could not trust him.

Aoba could easily guess that this operation was ostensibly to hunt down Orochimaru. But in fact, it should be a test of his loyalty.

But he could not guess what hidden mission the Root had.

Because the Root had intelligence in advance. So, the group traveled overnight. Along the way, there were almost no obstacles. Aoba was not familiar with everyone and did not communicate much along the way.

In fact, the level of this team, the entire Fire Country really did not have many threats to them.

After leaving the Fire Country, the Root led everyone to the direction of the Taki Country.

"Taki Country is not the Land Country." Aoba thought slightly in his heart. Now it seems that Orochimaru has not yet gone to the Land Country to prepare for the establishment of the Sound Village.

However, the Taki Country has its own ninja village. And Taki Village is the only country with tailed beasts outside the five major countries. Compared with other small countries, this country still has a certain strength.

"Orochimaru's base is in the valley ahead. It has been confirmed that he is in the base. Let's rest here now and start the action at midnight tonight."

The captain of the root gave the order. Then everyone began to rest on the spot.

Qingye found a big tree, leaned against it and closed his eyes. For a while, everyone entered a silent rest state.

But in the air where no one could see, a leaf above Qingye's head suddenly disconnected. Then, it flew lightly into the sky, slowly crossed the hillside, and floated into the valley.
