Naruto: The Strongest Sage

The old man was very angry.

Jiraiya was once again broken by Aoba's "nonsense". But Jiraiya, who was usually eloquent, could not find a point to fight back.

Obviously, the other party was slandering the dead teacher. But Jiraiya could not refute it.

"What do you want to say?"

"Nothing special. I just want to prove that Orochimaru's killing of the Third Hokage may not affect his friendship with Tsunade."

Aoba did not mention Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation card. Because in his opinion, Orochimaru's playing this card is a trump card on the surface, but it may not have any effect. It may even be the kind of counter-effect that the leopard was killed by the second, third, and fifth.

Because for many years, although Tsunade missed her, she should have accepted the death of Rope Tree and Dan.

If Orochimaru dared to use this as a bargaining chip, it might only anger Tsunade.

"So, the mission is to bring back Tsunade and capture Orochimaru by the way?"

"No, it is to protect Tsunade and bring her back. I will make other arrangements to capture Orochimaru."

"It may be difficult for me to convince her."

"I have given you enough reasons to convince her. After all, if she doesn't come back, I will become the Hokage. You must not want to see that situation, Master Jiraiya."

"......"

Jiraiya left in silence. After he became famous, he may never be so powerless again. But no matter what, he is still loyal to Konoha.

It's just that this process makes Aoba feel like a villain.

Konoha Building. Kakashi and Shikaku have already started to make arrangements for the next stage.

"Moonlight Gale, Mitarashi Red Bean, Shiranui Genma, Yamashiro Aoba, Bizu Leidou, Morino Ibiki, Inuzuka Tale, Yuhi Kurenai, Baiyun Zaojian.

The above special jonins will be promoted to jonins immediately. From today on, each of you will lead a team to patrol the vicinity of Konoha.

Remember, although the Sand Village and Sound Ninja have retreated. But Konoha is still in a state of war. In the previous war, Konoha's walls and barriers were severely damaged. Now Konoha, in the eyes of the surrounding major ninja villages, is a delicious cake. Everyone wants to come up and take a bite.

So, this alert patrol Mission, all teams will enter the highest level of alert. Any non-village ninja who approaches Konoha without official channels will be killed without mercy. Sarutobi Asuma, Kai, your team will also join in. "

"Yes."

"Now everyone step forward to receive the mission scroll. In addition, Maruboshi Kosuke senior. Now is a critical moment for Konoha. We need you to stand up again and lead those young ninjas."

"Devote for Konoha, it is our duty."

"Very good, seniors can form teams freely and join the above mission."

After all the teams received the mission. Kakashi and Shikaku continued to squat in the office with a headache.

"Konoha can still hold on. But too many ninjas stationed outside were transferred back before. We still need to strengthen prevention at the border of the Land of Fire.

Otherwise, if too many residents of the Land of Fire are robbed, it will affect the Daimyo's view of us. We are currently in urgent need of funding from the Daimyo."

This matter was discussed secretly by Kakashi and Shikaku before. In the case of insufficient manpower, the private forces of the major ninja clans are needed to help.

"I have persuaded most of the clans. At this moment, the ninja clan of Konoha will not be dragged down. But according to convention, we still need to give some... exchanges."

Kakashi sighed. Once the matter involves the ninja clan, it will be much more complicated.

"Let's delay it for now, and let the next Hokage solve it after he takes office. Now we need to solve another problem as soon as possible. The funeral of the Hokage."

Aoba finally did not choose to publish those materials. This means that the third generation died in the name of the Hokage. In this case, the funeral of the Hokage is indispensable.

And this kind of thing must be done early. After all, it is not so easy to delay it.

"Two days later. We still need to prepare."

"That's it for now. In addition, should the negotiation with Sand Village be put on the agenda?"

"No, we will not do anything about this matter."

Kakashi directly rejected Shikaku's proposal. The main reason is that Konoha now has an absolute advantage over Sand Ninja in terms of morality, strength, and even leverage.

Both sides have lost their shadows. But Konoha still has a lot of people who can be used. But on the Sand Ninja side, except for a few old guys, there are really

It's not going to be a big deal.

In addition, three important hostages of Sand Village, Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara, are in Konoha's hands. In addition, Konoha has also captured a large number of Sand Village ninjas.

With so many trump cards in hand, for Sand Village, Konoha can delay, but Sand Village can't afford it.

Apart from anything else, if the Jinchuriki doesn't go back for a day, Sand Village will lack the most important strategic weapon. Therefore, there is no need for Konoha to take action. Sand Village will naturally lose patience.

In Konoha's temporary hospital, Haruno Sakura and Yumi, who had rested for half a day, continued to treat the wounded.

And Aoba returned to the underground laboratory alone.

After his laboratory was defended by multiple barriers, this battle was almost unscathed.

Aoba returned to the laboratory and took out a scroll. What was sealed inside was the original chakra extracted from the one-tailed beast. Logically speaking, this should actually be part of the ten-tailed chakra.

It's just that the Six Paths Sage seemed to have done something when dividing the chakra. Only when the chakras of the nine tailed beasts gather together, will they converge into the real ten-tailed chakra.

However, Qingye was mentally prepared for this. He was not disappointed.

Instead, he directly unsealed some chakras and tried to absorb them into his body.

The chakras of the tailed beasts are more violent and dangerous than those of humans. In other words, the chakras of the tailed beasts are more primitive.

After comparison, Qingye found that human chakras have a very special characteristic. They seem to be domesticated.

This should be the work of the Six Paths Sage. When he passed down the power of chakra, he should have made some improvements to the physical characteristics of humans.

The chakras of the tailed beasts are in a more primitive state. And after comparison, it was found that this primitive chakra is closer to natural energy.

The power of chakra did not exist in this world originally. It was after Kaguya ate the fruit of the sacred tree that she first obtained this power.

But don't forget that the energy of the chakra fruit is actually the chakra transformed by the sacred tree absorbing the original power of this world.

According to this concept. Chakra and natural energy are essentially one and the same. It's just that the chakra has been transformed by the sacred tree and turned into the tailed beast chakra form.

The tailed beast chakra has been transformed by the Six Paths Sage and turned into the chakra used by ninjas today.
