Naruto: The Strongest Sage.

After dealing with the second wave of pursuers, Qingye led the mother and daughter to quickly enter the territory of the Land of Fire.

But then, another group of Grass Ninjas actually chased after them.

That's right, the Kusanagi blatantly crossed the border and entered the Land of Fire to hunt down Aoba. What does this mean? Konoha, the largest village in the ninja world, seems to have no deterrent power against the Kusanagi.

Fortunately, the few grass ninjas did not dare to pursue further, because there was a Konoha outpost on the border of the Land of Fire.

It doesn't matter if you enter the country without permission and wander around in the no-man's land. But if you are discovered by the outpost, it will be an illegal invasion, and then it will really be a war crisis.

It's not that ninjas from other countries can't enter the Land of Fire. It's that ninjas are military units. If you want to come, you have to go through formal channels. Several grass ninjas entered the Land of Fire but failed to catch up with Aoba. In the end, they didn't dare to chase him too far and could only retreat helplessly.

"Okay, we're safe now."

Qingye put the mother and daughter down. After a long journey, he killed six grass ninjas in a row. Qingye was actually quite tired. As I said before, he didn't have much chakra. Whether traveling or fighting, he needed to be careful.

In the wild, they found a cave, and after Qingye ate the Bingliang Pill, he recovered most of his chakra.

Then we shot some grouse and hares and roasted them for dinner.

After a delicious meal, Karin fell asleep in her mother's arms.

Seeing this, Aoba took out a blanket from the sealing scroll and handed it to Karin's mother.

"Thank you." She gently put Karin down and covered her with a blanket. After that, Karin's mother stood up and bowed solemnly to Aoba.

"My name is Uzumaki Yumi, thank you for your help sir."

Qingye stood up and helped her up.

"You don't have to do this. I saved you for my own reasons. In the future, you may all work for me."

Aoba made no secret of his intention to have the two of them work for him, and Karin's mother was not surprised at all.

There is no love without reason in this world. The other party took such a big risk to rescue the two of them from the Kusagakure Village, there must be a purpose.

But at present, it seems that the other party really cares about Karin. No matter what, the other party is definitely a master who is many times better than Kusanagi.

"As long as you can treat Karin well and let her live out her life safely, we are willing to work for you. Unfortunately, my body may not be able to hold on for much longer."

Qingye lifted the other person's sleeve, looked at the dense scars on it, and sighed.

"Your problem is indeed serious. Those Grass Ninjas bit you without restraint, and have already seriously damaged your vitality.

But don't be too pessimistic. I won't treat you like the Kusagakure. As long as you don't waste your vitality carelessly, you will definitely be able to last longer than you think.

The physique of your Uzumaki clan is much stronger than you think. Moreover, I know a way to save you. But it will take time to implement it.

So, if you don’t want your daughter to become an orphan, if you want to accompany her to grow up, just stick with it. Believe me, I will save you. ”

Who would want to die if they can live? Moreover, Yumi has a daughter named Karin.

"Thank you, sir. I will try my best to live. For Karin, for sir."

"And for your own sake." Aoba added.

After resting for a night, Aoba took the mother and daughter and continued towards Konoha.

Since it was a rare free time, Qingye was not in a hurry. After there was no threat of pursuit, he began to travel slowly.

The main thing was that he now had to face a problem, which was whether to bring Karin and her daughter back to Konoha, or to place them outside of Konoha.

If we bring them back to Konoha, should we hide their identity as members of the Uzumaki clan?

These are the problems that will be faced soon. Qingye is a little undecided.

After much thought, it is absolutely impossible to leave it outside Konoha. At this time, Konoha is in internal and external troubles, and other major countries are ready to make a move. In the original plot, although the war did not really start, various frictions are definitely inevitable.

Along the way, I even heard news that Yunyin had already stationed troops on the border.

Under such circumstances, there were countless spies and bounty hunters around Konoha. This mother and daughter had no ability to protect themselves. If they were noticed, Aoba would not be able to rescue them in time.

Therefore, it was inevitable to bring them back to Konoha. But they were not absolutely safe in Konoha. Apart from anything else, if Danzo knew about their abilities, there would definitely be no good results.

In Konoha, Aoba is temporarily unable to fight against Danzo who controls the entire Root.

But it is almost impossible to hide her identity. As for the hair problem, she can dye it. But as long as Karin goes to school, people will definitely find out.

Especially the old pervert from the third generation, who used the telescope technique to look around all day. Danzo's roots were also covered with eyeliner.

It was possible to hide for a while, but it was impossible to hide forever. Qingye originally wanted to let Yumi make her own decision.

But the other party said that she knew nothing about the situation inside Konoha and could not make a correct judgment at all.

So, in the end, Qingye decided to take them back without hiding his identity.

Because with Danzo's personality, the more he tried to hide it, the more dangerous it would be if he found out. So it would be relatively safer to just not hide it and just treat it as a pair of Uzumaki descendants in distress.

But this is not absolutely safe. Qingye still needs to do something to make this matter more safe.

By the time I saw the main gate of Konoha, I calculated the time. It had been more than a month since Aoba went on the mission.

At the door, he used his status as a senior ninja to vouch for the two of them, and after passing the review of the two Konoha gate gods.

Before he even reached home, he ran into an ANBU ninja who was delivering a message.

"Kamikawa Aoba, report to the Hokage's office immediately."

"understood."

Although he said he understood, Qingye did not rush to the Hokage's office directly. Instead, he took the mother and daughter to his home first.

"Well, I live alone, so it's a bit messy. You guys just make do with it for now, and I'll clean it up when I get back.

Listen, Yumi, this is Konoha. In most cases, it is safe. But I can't guarantee it. So, don't wander around, stay here and wait for me to come back. Also, don't forget the countermeasures we discussed. "

"I understand, sir." Yumi blushed slightly and nodded in agreement.

Yumi said as she carried Karin into the house. The little girl was sleeping again. It was probably because she was in Kusagakure Village and was worried all day long that she couldn't sleep well.

Following Qingye, they slept in the open air all the way. She slept particularly well, often sleeping soundly on Qingye's back.

After simply settling the two of them down, Aoba turned and headed towards the Hokage Building.
