Naruto: The Strongest Sage

The news of the three major ninja villages was immediately received by Konoha. Aoba was alert. He knew before that the plot had completely collapsed. He no longer had the advantage of foresight. However, he quickly determined that this phenomenon must have been caused by Black Zetsu. In the original plot, Black Zetsu carried out the old six to the end. He always guided and took shortcuts, rarely showed his combat power directly, or directly plotted. But this time, after being forced by Aoba to appear in the world ahead of time, this guy quickly showed a different operation from the original plot. Since he couldn't hide in the dark to make trouble, this guy directly used the influence of the Mizukage controlled by Obito. He began to contact Kumogakure and Iwagakure. Aoba knew without saying anything that they must be discussing a plan to unite against Konoha.

Aoba thought that other ninja villages might unite. But he didn't take it to heart. Because he knew that due to various historical issues, even if the major ninja villages had this idea, it would definitely not be possible to truly unite in a day or two.

In the original plot, the five major ninja villages were able to unite quickly because of the appearance of the White Zetsu Army. The world war was about to break out.

Although Konoha is strong now, it has not taken any military action. According to Aoba's understanding of the Raikage and the Tsuchikage, they have deep grievances and it is impossible to unite in a short time.

But if Black Zetsu mediates in the name of the Mizukage, all this may not be certain.

Konoha now almost dominates most of the surrounding shipping business. One of the most important factors is the seclusion of Kirigakure.

After all, Kirigakure's ninjas are the best at water combat. The shipping business should have been dominated by them.

It's just that Kirigakure is tossed around by Obito. They have no intention to fight for the hegemony of the sea. That's why Konoha got the upper hand.

Obito's goal is to torture Kirigakure. But Kuro is not like that. What it wants is to provoke a great war in the ninja world and create an opportunity for Kaguya's resurrection.

Therefore, it doesn't care whether Kirigakure is weakened or not.

Another result of Kirigakure's seclusion in recent years is that the major ninja villages don't know much about Kirigakure.

But no matter what, Kirigakure is still one of the five greats. As a perfect Jinchūriki, Mizukage Kuraya is definitely a top master.

As soon as he showed up, the Raikage and the Tsuchikage both gave him some face. It is indeed possible for the three major ninja villages to reach an agreement.

This result is what Aoba doesn't want to see. Although Konoha and Sand Village are now two to three, he is also confident of winning.

But the price is too high.

Once a full-scale war breaks out, the power of the entire ninja world will be weakened. Now Aoba has drawn the power of other ninja villages to his own plate. If the damage can be reduced, it should be reduced.

Once the three villages unite, there will be huge changes in both strength and mentality. This may cause them to have some thoughts that they shouldn't have.

The purpose of Black Zetsu's move is to provoke a ninja world war. And this is exactly what Aoba wants to avoid.

Konoha's top leaders also immediately held an emergency meeting. This time, not only the decision-making level, but all the senior ninjas in the village who were not on a mission attended the meeting.

"So, we are now facing the Fourth Ninja World War. And will we face a joint attack from three ninja villages?"

"It's not certain yet, but this is the final possible result. Konoha's foreign policy has begun to alert other ninja villages. The Fourth Ninja World War is already at hand."

Shikaku saw it very accurately, standing on the standpoint of the three ninja villages of Thunder, Earth, and Water. Before Konoha completely rises, completely strangling it is the best way.

Therefore, their best approach is to take the initiative and work together to completely destroy Konoha. At least they should also restrain Konoha's expansion plan this time. In this way, they can have a chance to breathe.

"The three major ninja villages have been grudges for a long time. Can they really unite in a short time?"

Hinata Hiashi has some doubts about this. After all, everything happened too suddenly.

After hearing this, Aoba took over the topic.

"What I am going to say next involves some secrets of Konoha. However, due to the previous mission in Sand Village, a lot of information has been leaked. And now Konoha is facing a war. I follow the order of the Hokage to decrypt the following secret information.

According to the intelligence of the Anbu. Mizukage Kuraya has been controlled by someone using some method. In other words, the current decision of Kirigakure does not represent the real Kirigakure."

"Being controlled by someone, what does it mean? Kuraya is a perfect Jinchūriki, who can control him?

”

The biggest difference between a perfect Jinchūriki and an ordinary ninja is that they are almost never controlled by illusions. Because the tailed beast in their body can remove illusions at any time.

But Obito is an Uchiha. Uchiha's Mangekyō has its own illusions, and it is specifically used to counter tailed beasts. Kuraya was restrained by the attribute this time.

"It means literally that he was controlled by someone using illusions. And the person who controlled him was an Uchiha."

At this moment, Hyuga Hiashi immediately understood.

"It's that person, the mysterious Uchiha who appeared on the night of the Nine-tailed Fox?"

"Yes, it's him. The mysterious man wearing a vortex mask in the Akatsuki organization is also him."

"Is that so." Hyuga Hiashi is now the Hokage's advisor, so he naturally knows the details of the previous Sand Village support mission. He knows that Aoba fought with the masked man.

"Is that why you fought him at that time?"

"Yes, I used the power of the Sharingan first to control him. But the guy named Jue beside him controlled his brain at the last moment and took him away by force.

Based on the previous performance, I infer that it should now completely inherit the ability of the masked man. "

In this way, the whole situation becomes very clear.

"So, our enemy is actually the mysterious guy named Jue? Now it is he who controls the Mizukage Kuraya and tries to push the three villages to unite against Konoha?"

"That's right."

"Then the question is, who is this guy called Jue? Who is the Uchiha controlled by him? Why do they have to target Konoha? "

Not only Hinata Hiashi, Nara Shikaku was also looking at Aoba. With Shikaku's wisdom, it was not difficult to see that Aoba was holding back.

Aoba glanced at Kakashi who was silent, but he didn't speak in the end. In the last battle, although Kakashi didn't fight Obito directly. But at that distance, Obito used Kamui, and Kakashi was very likely to have noticed something.

Now Obito's identity is actually not very meaningful. The threat comes from Black Zetsu. This is a much more dangerous character than Obito.

"At present, we are still investigating the information about the other party. But the most urgent thing is that we need to stop the alliance of the three villages. For this, I have a plan. "
