Naruto: The Strongest Sage.

Ninjas are assassins, killers, and special troops. In contrast, the Ninja Village is a real violent organization.

Because the strength of ninjas varies greatly, the strong ones naturally occupy more powerful resources. Simply put, the entire Naruto world is still in a state of jungle law where the strong prey on the weak.

This also led to the management of each ninja village being extremely barbaric and backward. One of the reasons why Aoba did not leave Konoha was.

The atmosphere of Konoha was, relatively speaking, the closest to a normal world. The world outside of Konoha, especially those small ninja villages, was filled with naked barbarism and cruelty.

Kusagakure Village is one of them.

Aoba had just entered the Kusagakure Village when he noticed the presence of several chakras nearby.

After Qingye lost an eye, his perception ability was greatly affected. Especially as a close combat ninja, the lack of an eye made his combat a huge weakness.

In order to make up for this weakness, he developed a perception system to assist in combat.

Using his proficient control of wind-type escape techniques, he diffused his chakra into the surrounding air, allowing it to flow slowly with the wind within a certain range.

In this way, any person or object that enters this range can be sensed.

The closer the distance, the clearer the perception. In close combat, it can even be used as a special 360-degree perspective.

At this time, in Qingye's perception, three grass ninjas were rushing in front of him on the right. They seemed to have just returned from a mission.

One of them was injured.

"It's just a minor injury. I can just go back and bite that bitch off."

"That's true. I must bite her a few more times. That bitch even complained to me last week, saying that I bit her on purpose. This time I must bite off a piece of her flesh."

"And her little daughter. The little girl's meat is more tender. You can take a few more bites when the time comes. She treasures her daughter more than herself. As long as you threaten her with the little girl, she won't dare to say anything."

"Really? Then I must try it. Maybe I can do something else."

After hearing this, Qingye couldn't listen any more.

A flash body technique appeared in front of the three Kusanagi ninjas.

"Who is it?" The three of them were on high alert, but when they saw Qingye's forehead protector, they immediately relaxed.

"It's a ninja from Konoha. Hey, this is our Kusanagi's sphere of influence. Why are the ninjas from Konoha showing up?"

Because Konoha and Kusanagi are now in an alliance. And Konoha ninjas are always easy to talk to, so they are not afraid of Konoha ninjas. They are even a little arrogant.

Qingye looked at the faces of the guys and sighed slightly.

"Many people always complain about why there are always wars in this world and why ninjas always have to kill each other. In fact, the reason is very simple, it's because there are too many people like you in this world."

"You..." The three Kusanagi felt something was wrong. But it was too late. Aoba attacked directly from the front. But the speed was still so fast that the three of them could not react at all.

The Kusanagi sword has an extremely good chakra conduction ability. Therefore, Aoba's ninjutsu is more easy to perform.

"Cut the air and flash!"

A half-moon-shaped wind blade appeared in mid-air. In an instant, it cut through the waists of the two ninjas in front. The last one barely avoided it because he was far away, but one of his arms was completely cut off.

"Stop, we are Kusa ninja, allies of Konoha, you..."

The Kusagakure wanted to argue, but Aoba had already rushed in front of him. Only then did the other party want to fight back. But with one hand broken, he didn't know how to make a seal with one hand. He could only take out a kunai and try to resist.

The next second, Aoba appeared behind him, the Kusanagi sword in his hand already sheathed.

On the ground, the two ninjas who were cut in half are still alive. But it is only a matter of time. Unless they are the reincarnation of Hashirama Senju, there is no chance of survival after being cut in half.

Aoba did not continue to finish off the enemy, but passed the two of them and headed towards the direction of the Kusagakure. Behind him, the screams of the two Kusagakure were getting smaller and smaller.

The scale of Kusagakure Village is actually quite large, almost half the size of Konoha. In the entire ninja world, it is already one of the few ninja villages outside of the five major nations.

But the level is just so-so.

Just look at the quality of their ninjas. There is basically no so-called management in this ninja village. The education and training system are almost non-existent.

Although they imitated Konoha and set up their own ninja school, the teachers in charge of teaching, in most cases, treated those children as toys and tortured them at will.

As a force second only to the five major ninja villages, they only sent one group of people to participate in the subsequent Chunin Exam, which shows how backward their training mechanism is.

Moreover, their various backgrounds were completely incomparable to Konoha. The protective barrier around the village was something that even Aoba couldn't defend against.

That night, Qingye sneaked in easily.

Standing in the Kusagakure Village, chakra was released, and the surrounding environment quickly emerged in his mind.

His ability to sense wind was not very useful in the village. Any buildings would obviously affect his perception.

Moreover, if there was a sudden gust of wind inside a building, it would be easily noticed. Therefore, he was more cautious in his exploration.

After spending some time, he finally found his target, and then he rushed over quickly.

In a bungalow, a Kusanagi was whipping a woman with a whip. In the corner of the room, a little girl was huddled in the corner and shivering.

"Waste, bitch, I bit you so many times and you didn't recover, what's the use of you. Well. You bitches of the Uzumaki clan, if it weren't for us Kusanagi taking you in.

You guys are dead in some corner now. How dare you be so ungrateful and look at me like that..."

The Kusanagi cursed and beat him at the same time, like a mad dog.

But suddenly, he noticed something was wrong, because the woman's eyes were not focused on him, but behind him.

As a ninja, he still had the basic qualities. He immediately realized something was wrong and turned around abruptly, only to see a strange ninja standing behind him.

The most important thing is that the forehead protector on the opponent's forehead is not from the Kusagakure Village, but the symbol of Konoha.

How come the ninja from Konoha appeared here?

Oh no, we can't let the Konoha ninja see these two women. This was the last thought in Kusanagi's mind. He didn't even understand what was going on. He saw a flash of cold light in front of his eyes, and then he completely lost consciousness.
