Naruto: The Strongest Sage

The two of them were very close.

"Lord Aoba, we are all very clear about one thing. Konoha's transformation was completed under your leadership. The rest of Konoha is just the executor. So, we need your help."

The current Mei Terumi does not have the strong aura of the later Mizukage. But her sisterly demeanor has been initially revealed.

She is loyal to Kirigakure. Even at this point, she is still trying her best to save Kirigakure. She even took the initiative to find Aoba to seek help.

"Then tell me first, what do you or you want?"

Aoba's directness made Mei Terumi pause. They really want Konoha's help. But the resources needed to rebuild Kirigakure are not something that can be obtained by just opening your mouth.

And they need more than just actual resources. In fact, what Kirigakure needs now is political and even military protection.

In the previous war, Iwagakure was cautious and protected itself. Although it was damaged, its vitality was not damaged. But Kumogakure was really damaged.

It is said that not only the advance army was wiped out. Even the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki is unknown. Kumogakure is negotiating with Konoha, hoping to exchange the Eight-Tails. This matter is currently being argued.

As the biggest winner, Konoha naturally doesn't care. They are now the most powerful ninja in the ninja world. But Kirigakure is now in trouble.

According to Mei Terumi's estimation. The foundation left in Kirigakure is probably not even as good as that of Kusagakure.

After many years of blood mist, plus the previous civil war, plus the death of the Mizukage, plus the loss of the tailed beast. Most of the most important resources of the village have been lost. The entire Kirigakure has become second-rate or even third-rate.

In this case, you can't rebuild it just because you want to. Will those small ninja villages that were previously oppressed and plundered by Kirigakure have any ideas?

Will Kumogakure, who just suffered a big loss, have any ideas? Will Iwagakure, who always wants to take advantage, have any ideas?

Kirigakure has declined. But the resources such as ninjutsu secrets stored in the village still exist. These things are now like a piece of fat meat. They are emitting tempting fragrance to the surroundings.

Terumi Mei couldn't imagine what the result of Kirigakure would be if it continued to develop like this. It is likely to be the next Whirlpool Country.

"We need Konoha's protection to protect us in rebuilding Kirigakure. In return, we are willing to sign a military alliance treaty like Sand Village."

This means that we are willing to be a younger brother. But you have to protect us.

"Haha, interesting. Mei Terumi, take a look at what this is?"

Aoba said, handing Mei Terumi a document. Mei Terumi took it and looked at it, and the whole person was stunned on the spot.

"......"

The document came from Kirigakure. And it was a document in the official capacity of Kirigakure requesting to re-establish diplomatic relations with Konoha.

Obviously, there are some wise people among the remaining foundation of Kirigakure. Knowing that their situation is not good, they must immediately hold on to the thickest thigh of the ninja world in order to survive. But in this way, what Terumi Mei said before became a little ridiculous.

After all, her words are not enough, and they sent official documents.

"You see, I am a little confused. Who among you is the real representative of Kirigakure?"

Aoba's words made Terumi Mei almost desperate. But then she vaguely understood something.

Kamikawa Aoba did not directly refuse, which means that there is still a chance for this matter. It's just that the other party's intention is obviously to want more.

"Kamikawa Aoba, what do you want?"

This time, it was Terumi Mei who asked this question.

"Haha, it depends on what you can give? Terumi Mei, before all this happened, have you ever thought that Kirigakure would fall to this point? Or, have you ever thought that one day, the ninja world will become what it is now?"

After Aoba finished speaking, he turned around and left without giving her time to respond. Mei Terumi was left with a thoughtful look.

Mei Terumi was able to rise to the top in the original plot, so her intelligence level was naturally not bad. After a little thought, she understood what Kamikawa Aoba meant.

At this time, her followers came forward.

"What does this guy mean? Will he help or not?"

Most people didn't understand, but Mei Terumi had already vaguely guessed what Aoba meant. Unfortunately, she didn't like this result.

In the Hokage's office, Aoba was drinking with Tsunade. Tsunade has been in high spirits recently, and she would ask Aoba to drink with her from time to time.

The main reason is that Shizune is now hot with Kakashi. No one is watching her, and she is becoming more and more unscrupulous.

.

"Tsk tsk, I thought you would eat up those Kirigakure people with skin and flesh. I didn't expect you to be so patient. This is unlike you before."

Tsunade complained while staring at Aoba. Given this guy's poor character. She had every reason to doubt what Aoba thought of Meimei.

"Don't think of me as so dirty. I admire from the bottom of my heart a group of people who risk everything to save their homeland. So, I gave them some time to think about it."

"Hehe, your thinking about it is just to let them discover the cruel truth by themselves. Isn't this more cruel?"

"But this way they are more likely to accept it. The demise of Kirigakure is inevitable. Not only Kirigakure, but all other ninja villages except Konoha will inevitably face inevitable weakening and even disappearance."

This is the ultimate goal of Aoba's plan.

He doesn't want to eliminate the profession of ninja. But he is ready to eliminate the ninja village system. This is also inevitable to integrate the power of the ninja world.

This process is destined to be long. Even actively filled with war and blood. But under his layout and promotion, all this has become the trend of history, the kind that cannot be resisted.

"So, as long as I can continue to be the Hokage, one day I will become the first Hokage to unify the five major villages?"

Tsunade carried the bottle of wine and sat directly on Aoba's legs, whispering in his ear.

"According to my plan, it's almost like this."

"Really? Then I'm curious, why don't you want to be a Hokage? Now you, as long as you want, no power can stop you from becoming a Hokage."

"There's no special reason, it just feels a bit troublesome."

"Really? I thought you just like to play with the Hokage. I heard that women with special identities will make you men more excited? You're not doing this for this, are you?"

Tsunade, who was drunk, always spoke without restraint. Aoba didn't indulge her and directly blocked her mouth.

"Wait a minute, there's news from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Ohnoki is coming soon and wants to meet us in person."

"Tell him to wait." Aoba responded impatiently, and then pressed Tsunade to the floor.
