Naruto: The Strongest Sage.

The negotiation with Sunagakure was Konoha's top priority, but Aoba was not specifically involved in this matter.

He had already pointed out the general direction, and the rest was up to Shikaku. In fact, he himself was not good at this kind of thing.

He was able to give a general direction because he had received some basic education in his previous life. But asking him to participate in the specific details was a bit too much. This required extremely high professionalism and the support of various data. Qingye did not have the reserves in this area.

Nara Shikaku is fully capable of this. It's just that he assisted the Third Hokage before. His ability to govern completely wasted the time when Konoha was at its most powerful.

Now, with the addition of Aoba, Kakashi, and Tsunade, Shikaku can be said to have truly begun to exert his ability as Konoha's number one think tank.

The ninja village of Sand Village is actually very special because among the five major villages, Sand Village has the weakest overall strength.

However, the other major ninja villages do not covet Sand Village much. The biggest reason is that Sand Village basically has no resources.

There are deserts everywhere, lack of supplies, and poverty. There is no point in conquering such a place.

Look at Kumogakure and Iwagakure, why are they so obsessed with Konoha? Because the Land of Fire occupies the best land on this continent.

It is rich in resources and has a large population. If you can conquer it, you will get a lot of money and it is possible to dominate the ninja world.

However, in such a barren land, Sand Village is still able to maintain its position as one of the five major ninja villages. Aoba actually admires this very much.

Putting aside other things, if the third generation were to take charge of Sand Village, he would have sold out all of it within twenty years.

The fact that he has been in charge of Konoha for more than 30 years and is still the boss of Konoha shows how strong Konoha's foundation is.

However, as one of the five major villages for many years, Sunagakure still has some foundation. It depends on how much meat Shikaku can bite off from Sunagakure during the negotiations.

In the laboratory, Aoba was facing a pair of Sharingan in front of him with the help of instruments.

This is a pair of the ten Sharingan, from the same person. Aoba transplanted them but didn't transplant them to his body as a resurrection coin. It was mainly because it felt like a waste.

What he hopes more is to use these Sharingans to find out the secret behind the power of the Sharingan.

But after a lot of experiments and analysis, he found that biological measurement alone, or even chakra-level research, could not fully understand the power of pupil power.

Because the most critical part of pupil power is the stimulation of the mental level. However, mental power cannot be directly studied at present.

At least before obtaining the secret techniques of the Yamanaka clan, there was no possibility of going deeper. But Qingye thought of another possibility.

At this moment, the pair of Sharingan he was facing was being activated.

This is one of the most amazing things about the Sharingan. Even if it leaves the body, it can still be successfully activated.

In the plot, Uchiha Itachi once transplanted Shisui's eyes onto a crow.

Now, Qingye's approach was more thorough. He directly used the instrument to link the Sharingan with the chakra, and then activated it when the Sharingan was in an independent state.

Then, Aoba closed his Mangekyō and looked into the Sharingan with his ordinary eyes.

This was a very incredible operation, because the essence of Aoba's action was to use this pair of Sharingan to attack himself.

He had previously tried to use his mental power to connect with the Sharingan, but it didn't work.

In fact, even with his own Sharingan in his right eye, he couldn't achieve a complete mental connection now. This was also the real reason why the transplanter of the Sharingan couldn't completely control the Sharingan.

This thing is not the real thing, and there will always be some kind of spiritual barrier.

In order to break this barrier, Qingye tried his best. But it was useless. He even felt that even the secret technique of the Yamanaka family would not be very effective.

Because the Yamanaka family's secret technique targets the opponent's brain. Qingye couldn't imagine what it would be like to release the mind-shifting technique on a pair of eyes soaked in nutrient solution!

But after countless experiments and after he also had the Sharingan, Qingye actually found a way to establish a mental connection with these Sharingans.

That means being attacked by the other party.

That's right, when the Sharingan uses illusions to attack the enemy, it will produce a certain amount of mental interference and connection.

Qingye didn't understand it before, and thought that the illusion of Sharingan was the pure use of Yin-tun Chakra. It was not until he became proficient in using Sharingan that he realized the subtlety of it.

The main reason is that the Sharingan is not his own. Whether it is manipulation or perception, there is a slight gap. Even if Aoba has the help of Hashirama's cells, this gap cannot be completely eliminated.

However, when attacked by the Sharingan, the mind will create a spiritual connection.

This is also the basis for the power of Sharingan illusion.

Illusion itself is to use chakra to create illusions on the level of sound and vision. A deeper level is to interfere with the opponent's mind, making the opponent fall into hallucinations or fall asleep.

The Sharingan's illusion is at a higher level.

The Naraku-ken technique that Kakashi once used was to attack the opponent's mind and trigger the fear deep in the opponent's heart.

But let's look at Uchiha Itachi's illusion. Not only does he attack the opponent's mind, he can even create a spiritual world to trap the opponent.

Then the most crucial point is that he can interfere with this world at will.

This level of illusion actually involves continuous interference on the mental level.

Other illusions were usually sudden interferences, but the illusions of the Sharingan could interfere continuously.

Aoba completed the experiment based on this principle.

He used his own chakra and the instruments in the laboratory to activate the Sharingan in front of him, and then released a continuous illusion on himself.

The Sharingan naturally cannot have consciousness. However, the pupil power of the Sharingan contains a unique form of spiritual energy. In this way, Qingye's spiritual power is connected to the pupil power of the Sharingan.

According to the procedure of the illusion, the next person should be the user of the Sharingan, who will ravage Aoba in the spiritual world.

But again, the Sharingan has spiritual power, but it does not have a complete consciousness to control it. So, although Qingye was pulled into the spiritual world, the ruler of this world is Qingye.

In this way, Aoba can reach the mental power of the Sharingan more deeply than ever before, and extend it to the pupil power that includes mental power.
