Naruto: The Strongest Sage

The dead body was buried, and the dead body was buried.

"It disappeared. It was some kind of space-time ninjutsu." Kakuzu was experienced and quickly determined what Aoba had done.

Konan landed slowly, but did not express her opinion directly. Just now, she took back the paper plane she had shot. Then she was surprised to find that a message was left on one of the papers.

There were not many words, but the amount of information was huge.

Konan was shocked and had no mood to continue recruiting people.

"Let's go."

On the other side, dozens of miles away, Aoba appeared at the place where the battle was fought during the day with Zabuza and Haku.

Aoba took out a bottle of medicine and held it in his hand.

"Now we can talk."

Half an hour later, Aoba left, leaving only Zabuza and Haku with a thoughtful look on their faces.

In the team, except for Karin, no one knew that Aoba had left last night. And the rest of the time, the team progressed very smoothly.

Zabuza did not appear again. He encountered several bandits along the way, but they were quickly cleared out by the three little ones.

About half a month later, they successfully arrived at the Land of Waves.

"Okay, Mr. Dazna, according to the contract, our escort mission has been completed. Goodbye."

Dazna opened his mouth, but was speechless. Because according to the contract, it was indeed like this. He just hired ninjas to escort him back to the Land of Waves. But it did not include protecting himself to complete the bridge.

In fact, Dazna originally thought that he had impressed these Konoha ninjas along the way enough to let them continue to provide free escort for the Land of Waves.

But along the way, every time he wanted to lead the topic to this aspect. Aoba's cold eyes made him dare not continue.

That jonin was not at the same level as those three innocent kids. Dazna even felt that if he dared to say anything more, that guy would most likely bury him somewhere on the road.

At this time, in the Land of Waves, in Cardo's residence.

Cardo looked at the ninja who suddenly went crazy with horror. At this time, there were basically no living people in his residence.

The ninja warriors he hired at a high price had no power to fight back when facing the rebel ninja of the Hidden Mist.

"You, you, you... You don't keep your word, how can a ninja hurt his employer, you..."

"Don't you understand what a rebel ninja is?" Zabuza's words made Cardo speechless. He also investigated the background of this ninja. What the other party did was indeed a great rebellion compared to traditional ninjas. It seemed that he had too high a requirement for this kind of ninja.

"Don't kill me, I have money, any amount is fine, I'll give it to you now, I..."

"Mr. Cardo, you may have misunderstood me. I'm not here to kill you. On the contrary, I'm here to apply for a new job. From today on, I will be your bodyguard, your only bodyguard, what do you think?"

"..." Cardo looked dazed. He was a businessman, which naturally meant what Zabuza said. The saddest thing was that his proud financial resources were completely useless at this time.

"No problem, I'll give you the highest salary."

"Very good. At the same time, I think Mr. Cardo's business strategy is problematic. Why must the Wave Country be stopped from building a bridge?"

When Aoba read the original work about the Wave Country's mission, he felt a little powerless to complain. He didn't understand why Cardo was afraid of the construction of a bridge.

According to the description in the plot. At that time, Cardo had a repressive force advantage over the people of the Wave Country.

So, why did he stop the bridge from being built? If Qingye was Cardo, he would wait for the people of Wave Country to build the bridge and then occupy it.

Blocking a bridge is not much more cost-effective than blocking the sea. Moreover, giving the people of Wave Country more trade options is equivalent to fattening their own pigs in disguise.

What's the point of squeezing those poor guys every day? Of course, they have to fatten them up before killing them.

Soon the people of Wave Country discovered one thing. Cardo's people no longer interfered with the construction of the bridge. The progress of the project was very fast, but the funds for crowdfunding the bridge soon became insufficient. After all, it was only raised by the lower-class people themselves, and they could not support it financially.

At this time, Cardo appeared again. But this time he did not appear as a violent destroyer. He was a collaborator of Wave Country.

That's right, Cardo was cleaned up. Although it was only in name

. But he did clean up. The people of Wave Country were horrified to find that Cardo had reached an agreement with the Daimyo of Wave Country at some point.

He officially became an investor in the bridge.

Now, the people of Wave Country were confused. They didn't know whether to refuse or accept. If they accepted it, they couldn't let go of what Cardo had done before.

But if they refused... Sorry, I really couldn't refuse. Cardo directly invested a lot of money the day after the official announcement. More equipment, higher wages, better benefits.

This made the already poor people of Wave Country really...

Soon, the first worker who joined Cardo Construction Company appeared. Then the second, and the third.

Within a few days, the group of workers who originally crowdfunded the bridge construction suddenly became workers of Cardo Construction Company.

In response, Daz was furious. Then he joined as an engineer.

There was no way, the family was going to run out of food. If he didn't make money, his little grandson would starve to death.

The Land of Waves is a small country. But since it is called a country, it still has some resources. And now, the country's sea and land transportation are all in the hands of Cardo.

Although he has invested a lot of money, it can be foreseen that in the near future, the money will be doubled back.

Cardo feels that he has opened the door to a new world. The only problem is that he can only be regarded as a black glove of some forces now.

Aoba, who returned to Konoha, started his vacation legitimately. At the same time, he began to expand his own laboratory.

With the financial support of the Cardo Group, Aoba can finally let go and do it. All kinds of high-end instruments are bought at one time. The area of ​​the entire laboratory has been expanded to three times the original size.

At the same time, Sakura's teaching has also been put on the agenda.

"You have to know that Tsunade is the best medical ninja in Konoha. At the same time, her combat power is also top-notch. Medical ninjutsu, combined with sealing techniques, can exert a power that is no worse than any other ninjutsu.

The reason why few people take this path is because it requires some special talents. Excellent chakra control and strong theoretical learning ability.

Among them, medical ninjutsu requires precise chakra control. And sealing techniques require a lot of complex theoretical knowledge support. And you are one of the very few people in Konoha who have both of these conditions."
