Naruto: The Strongest Sage.

Aoba opened the scroll in his hand. Inside was the detailed information of each member of Akatsuki. It seemed that Itachi had not done nothing in these years.

Aoba remembered that in the original plot, Itachi was also considered a member of Konoha. But apart from his brother Sasuke, he actually did not do much for Konoha.

In the original plot, he returned to Konoha more to see how Sasuke was doing and to warn the Konoha leaders not to do anything to Sasuke.

But this time, his actions changed. He actually gave a lot of information. Although this information was of little significance to Aoba, it was still of great value to Konoha.

It seems that Tsunade's early promotion and Aoba's reforms have changed Itachi's mind. He is unsure of the attitude of the new generation of Konoha's leadership towards Sasuke. In addition, Tsunade and Aoba are both extremely strong leaders.

Itachi was worried that Sasuke would be treated unfairly, so he came back to take a look. At the same time, in order to add a layer of insurance for Sasuke, he also brought a letter of surrender.

With this pledge of allegiance, it was only natural for Aoba to let the other party go. Even Tsunade couldn't say anything.

After all, according to Itachi's intelligence, Akatsuki is an extremely dangerous organization.

"Jiraiya has given me some information about this organization before. But it's not as comprehensive as this. Uchiha Itachi's information is very valuable.

But despite this, his crimes cannot be ignored. Konoha can cooperate with him to a limited extent. But he can never be truly trusted. "

"clear."

Tsunade's order was reasonable. After all, normal leaders would not trust Uchiha Itachi after what he did.

Even if he surrendered, it would not redeem the crimes he committed.

"By the way, how are Sasuke and Naruto?"

"Naruto is fine. The boy has thick skin and tough muscles. He will be fine after some rest. Sasuke's condition is a bit serious. He is still in a coma."

"Fell into Uchiha Itachi's illusion?"

"Right. Probably showed him something very cruel."

After hearing Aoba's answer, Tsunade was silent for a moment.

"Is it for the Sharingan?"

“Should it be like this?”

"No matter what, this is still too cruel for Sasuke. You need to be more considerate. Pay attention to guiding Sasuke's mental health. With such a heavy burden and such stimulation, I'm afraid he will go astray."

"I know. In fact, I have made some preparations before this. But this kind of thing ultimately depends on Sasuke himself."

After leaving the Hokage's office, Aoba came to Konoha Hospital.

Karin, Sakura, Ino and other classmates are visiting Sasuke in the hospital.

Seeing Aoba coming, the group of kids quickly made way. Aoba's strength and status were extremely high in Konoha. These newly graduated kids were inevitably a little restrained when they saw him. Only Karin and Sakura were better.

"Aoba-sensei. Will Sasuke be okay?"

The one asking the question was Ino. Although under Sakura's introversion, the romance between these little brats has decreased a lot.

But the friendship between classmates still exists. The worries of a group of children are almost beyond words.

"You are all ninjas now. So, I will not lie to you. Sasuke has suffered very serious injuries. It is mental, so the situation is still uncertain for the time being."

"But that guy just glanced at him. It was only a few seconds, how could it be so serious?"

Naruto was a little bit unbelievable. He and Sasuke teamed up to fight the enemy. Although they lost, it showed that the enemy was indeed strong. But in his opinion, Sasuke was only captured for a few seconds and no one hurt him, how could it be so serious?

As a Jinchūriki with zero talent for illusion, Naruto really couldn't imagine what level of illusion Uchiha Itachi was at.

"That's not an ordinary genjutsu. If I go into detail, you may not understand it. To us, it may have only been a few seconds. But for Sasuke, he may have been in the spirit world for an unknown amount of time."

When Aoba said this, his eyes narrowed slightly. Because on the hospital bed, Sasuke's aura changed.

"All of you, get out right now. Sakura, be my assistant. Shikamaru, go find the Hokage."

"......clear."

The children were stunned for a moment, and then left the ward obediently. When they left, they could already see that Sasuke began to emit a cold and evil chakra.

"Teacher, what's going on?"

"It's the curse seal. The curse seal that Orochimaru left on Sasuke broke the seal. It should be the strong fluctuations in Sasuke's spiritual world that triggered the power of the curse seal, causing the evil seal to be broken. Now you should prepare the evil seal again."

"Yes."

Sasuke is still in a coma, but Qingye can feel that the concentration of chakra in his body is getting higher and higher, and these chakras clearly have traces of fairy chakra.

This degraded version of the Senjutsu Chakra is the manifestation of the power of Orochimaru's curse seal.

It is unknown what happened to Sasuke in his coma. It seems that the effect of Uchiha Itachi's illusion is still there, and his mental world is extremely chaotic and manic. This is also an important reason why the curse seal is out of control.

Aoba reached out and opened Sasuke's eyelids. As expected, Sasuke's eyes had turned into a pair of three-magatama Sharingan. It was obvious that the chakra in his body was in a violent state of rampage.

Qingye lifted the forehead protector on his eyes, revealing his right Sharingan. When their eyes met.

Aoba's body appeared in a familiar yet strange place.

I say familiar because Qingye knows that this is the home of the Uchiha clan. I say strange because this place is a little different from reality.

Most of the buildings were new and clearly occupied, completely different from the shabby ones I had imagined.

What is even more different is that the entire Uchiha clan territory has been covered in death and blood.

This is the night when the Uchiha clan was destroyed.

I don't know if it's because Uchiha Itachi was too cruel this time. Sasuke, who was in a coma, was still immersed in this nightmare and couldn't extricate himself.

Qingye walked into the Uchiha clan's territory. There were corpses everywhere on the streets, at the gates, and in the courtyards.

Ninjas wearing forehead protectors, women in casual clothes, and underage children were lying or sprawled all over the clan's territory.

Aoba simply couldn't imagine what kind of idiot would do this to his own family. He couldn't even imagine what Sasuke felt when facing all this.

Passing by the blood and corpses, Aoba approached the largest house of the Uchiha clan.

Walking into the yard, a young Sasuke was crying while holding his parents' bodies. The older Sasuke was curled up helplessly in the corner, his eyes dull...
