Naruto: The Strongest Sage

The two of them were in a state of panic, and the two were in a state of panic.

When Aoba rode Satoru and brought Team 7 and Sakura back to Konoha, Tsunade was also shocked and broke out in a sweat.

Mainly because Satoru's chakra fluctuations were too strong, she thought it was a tailed beast attack.

She almost directly ordered the villagers to start taking shelter.

After a long time, in the Hokage's office, after reading Aoba's report, she still couldn't believe it.

"So, the Kusagakure Village really has a ninja tool from the ancient times, the Six Paths Sage. And it is going to be used against Konoha?"

"You can say that. But in fact, it is just a cover to deal with Konoha. It is just a ninja named Wuwei who wants to open the Box of Bliss and save his child.

And whether that thing is the ninja tool of the Six Paths Sage is still debatable."

"Do you think there is a problem with the Box of Bliss?"

"There is a problem, for sure. But the negative impact is not great. I have already made a contract with Wu. There is basically no danger. I am just very interested in the energy properties of this thing. Don't you think this thing is not the same as the chakra tools in the ninja world?"

"Here you go again. You are going to start another weird experiment, right? Well, just study it yourself. No need to tell me. I have enough headaches now."

"Okay, I will study it slowly after I go back."

"Slow down." Aoba just turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Tsunade.

"Anything else, Hokage?"

"Of course, it's very important."

A few minutes later, Aoba looked at the wine glass in front of him, helpless.

"Is this the important thing you said?"

"Yes, what could be more important than drinking with your Hokage?"

"...Yes, Hokage."

Aoba is not a good drinker. It was the same in his past life. But in this life, Yumi takes care of his life. When he is busy at work, she will warm up sake for him to relieve his fatigue. So, he will drink a little occasionally.

But Tsunade is obviously not Yumi's kind of graceful school. When Aoba was less than half a cup, she had already drunk half a bottle...

"Uh, Hokage, what you drank..."

"That's nothing. You threw all the work to me, and you guarded the laboratory alone and did what you wanted to do. You are not willing to drink with me?"

"...Okay." Aoba took off his coat and put on a gentlemanly look.

"That's good enough. Let's have another drink."

Aoba noticed that Tsunade looked very tired. This is normal.

When Tsunade took over as Hokage, the war had just ended. Whether it was relief, reconstruction, or diplomacy, there were a lot of things to deal with.

Even though Aoba and others worked with her to develop various plans. But Tsunade couldn't avoid the advancement of various plans.

Every day, she didn't know how many engineering documents she needed to review, and how many trivial matters she needed to deal with.

Originally, she was a person who was used to being casual. At that time, under the guidance of the Impure World Reincarnation Dan and Nawaki, she accepted life again. Now it seems a bit sloppy.

"Jiraiya-sama has been..."

Aoba tried to bring up a topic that would interest Tsunade. But Tsunade interrupted him directly.

"Don't mention him to me. Just treat him as dead."

Unexpectedly, Tsunade didn't seem to miss Jiraiya. Since being driven away by Aoba last time. Jiraiya has been investigating the Akatsuki organization in the Ninja World. To this day, except for a few intelligence reports, he has not returned.

Mentioning Jiraiya seemed to make Tsunade's mood worse. She directly picked up the bottle and drank it again.

Aoba helplessly followed suit and drank a glass.

"You guy, aren't you tired of wearing this disguise every day?" Tsunade was drunk. Her tone began to become more and more presumptuous.

"Disguise?"

"Yes, it's a disguise. Don't think that you are the only smart person in the world and everyone else is a fool. You, you have never liked Konoha. But now you pretend to be doing your best for Konoha. What else is it if not a disguise?"

"Whether Hokage believes it or not, I have no ill will towards Konoha."

"Really? Shouldn't you add a sentence at the end, not yet? Or have you added it in your mind now?"

For the first time, Aoba discovered that drunk Tsunade was much more sensitive than in normal state. Or, she just took advantage of being drunk to say some of her inner thoughts.

Obviously, although Aoba always thinks about Konoha. But in the bones

That sense of alienation was still noticed. Unlike Tsunade, who is an orthodox second generation, Aoba's soul is a real outsider.

In addition, in his previous life, when he finished watching Naruto, he was already quite old. He had lost the passionate filter of his childhood. He did not have much yearning and sense of belonging to this world.

So, as Tsunade said, Aoba did have some disguise. This disguise would only be loosened in very rare cases.

"Unlike Hokage, I am a ninja from the bottom of Konoha."

With a bang, Tsunade put the bottle in her hand heavily on the table. She stood up and put her hands on the table, and leaned her upper body in front of Aoba.

Aoba only felt a whiteness rushing towards him. It can only be said that Tsunade's advantage in this aspect is indeed not comparable to Yumi.

"Are you going to say that as a low-level ninja, you have seen too many unfair treatments in Konoha, and even experienced it yourself. So, you don't like Konoha, but because Konoha is your home, you don't want to leave, so you are both alienated and passionate about Konoha?"

"......" Aoba admitted that Tsunade's words had a real lethal effect on Aoba. All along, relying on the secrecy of the plot and the advantages brought by the explosion of information in the previous life, he has been invincible in the level of verbal cannon. Especially for the ninjas of Konoha, it is basically a dimensionality reduction attack.

Unexpectedly, he was confronted by the half-drunk Tsunade today. Because what Tsunade just said was the official reason prepared by Konoha. And now, it is obvious that Tsunade has seen through it.

Aoba must now admit that Tsunade in a drunken state is much more difficult to deal with than in a normal state.

"It seems that Lord Hokage knows me very well."

"Hehe, on the contrary, the person I know least about Konoha is you, Kamikawa Aoba. You are a very strange person. I can feel that you are hiding a huge secret."

Tsunade said as she straightened up suddenly and grabbed the bottle of wine and drank it again. The white on her chest shook for a while, and Aoba's eyes narrowed.

"But it doesn't matter, Kamikawa Aoba, as long as you answer me a question, I can not pursue your secret.

Tell me Kamikawa Aoba, will you hurt Konoha, whether it is now or in the future."

After Tsunade finished speaking, her eyes were fixed on Aoba. That look made Aoba feel a little pressured.

But he did not retreat, but looked into Tsunade's eyes and answered.

"No."

"......Very good, I believe you."

Aoba breathed a sigh of relief. As a result, Tsunade changed the subject and teased in a playful tone.

"Does it look good?"

"It looks good." Aoba answered subconsciously. As soon as I said it, I regretted it.

"I... um..."
