Naruto: The Strongest Sage.

Gaara is a standard ninjutsu-type ninja. With Shukaku's chakra replenishment, he can perform a variety of large-scale ninjutsu at will.

This is also the reason why he was able to deal with Bei Liuhu. The large area of ​​sand constantly restricted Bei Liuhu's movement, and combined with the attacks of other Sand Ninjas, Bei Liuhu was unable to break through the defense line head-on.

But even so, Hokage's Storm Release still caused huge casualties to the Sand Village.

The bloodline limit formed by the fusion of lightning and water attributes allows the power of lightning to be controlled almost perfectly.

That kind of laser-like Storm Release Ninjutsu cannot be resisted by conventional defensive Ninjutsu.

Those puppets were like paper and were cut into pieces.

"This won't work. Shukaku, I need your strength."

"I can lend you my power. But it's enough to kill this guy. But can you use it?"

Shukaku's words left Gaara speechless. It's not that I don't have the power, but this is Sand Village.

If a large-scale ninjutsu is used to kill Hiruzen, the Sand Village itself will also suffer huge damage.

By then, the damage I caused would be greater than that caused by Beiliuhu, that would be funny.

"We must lure him out of the village before we can take action."

"It's not that simple. You don't have any ninjas who can keep up with the opponent's speed. Therefore, anyone who tries to lure them will die. You need some other tactics."

Gaara certainly knew that he needed some other tactics, but in the end he just couldn't do it.

At this point we can see how big the gap is between Sand Village and Konoha.

Apart from anything else, if it was in Konoha, even without Aoba, there would still be Kakashi who was evenly matched with Kai.

There are also combinations like Pig, Deer and Butterfly, which can be a great combination when working together.

There is also a mystical family like Aburame who usually does not show their true colors, but can make you die without even knowing how you died.

Not to mention the "retired" ninjas from the major families. The Hyuga clan has a deep heritage. At the same time, because of the legacy of the Uzumaki clan, the strength of the Konoha Sealing Class is completely different from that of other villages.

If Akatsuki really attacked Konoha, even if they worked together, they would have to pay an extremely painful price.

Unless Nagato directly carried the rice, they might not be able to conquer Konoha.

But Sand Village is not like that. The previous generation of Kazekage Rasa's magnetic escape blood and Ye Cang's scorching escape blood have no successors. The ultimate successor of puppetry, Scorpion, is a traitor.

The old generation's trump cards are just two old guys in their seventies and eighties who are barely holding the fort. Gaara has good potential, but he is too young.

According to Gaara's current talent and growth rate, if he is given three to five years, he will definitely be at the peak of Kage level. It won't be so difficult for him to fight against Hiruzen.

But the reality is that he didn't have time to grow. He had just taken over the Wind Shadow for less than a year when the enemy came to him.

It can be seen from the attitude of Akatsuki that they don't take Sunagakure seriously at all.

Chiyo had already used the Ten Kinmatsu, but within a few minutes of the fight, three of the ten puppets were destroyed by Storm Release.

Not far away, Aoba, who was hiding in the dark, was observing the current Hiruko. He had previously used Flying Thunder God to bring Team 7 and Konoha's other reinforcements to the outskirts of the Land of Sand.

The chakra consumption was huge, and the dizziness was also very obvious, so it would take some time to recover. So he did not show up immediately, but hid in the dark and observed.

The combat power this guy showed now was much stronger than in the original plot. This was mainly because when he was studying the Kiraya no Ya technique, Shin shared all the progress with Aoba.

And Aoba indirectly gave him a lot of advice through his own laboratory research, which made Beiluhu's research more complete than in the original plot, and his combat power was even more abnormal.

His only weakness now is that he doesn't have the Sharingan, so he can't adapt well to the high-speed movement of Swift Release.

But now he has learned to control his speed, keeping it within a limit that he can adapt to, and thus constantly adapt to the new power.

The current Hiruzen is definitely a Kage-level fighter, and is above Kage-level.

But he still didn't pose much of a threat. Qingye observed the battlefield, calculating the overall combat power comparison in his mind.

The ones coming from Akatsuki were Konan, Kakuzu, Deidara, Sasori, Itachi, Kisame, Obito, Black Zetsu, and Shin.

Among them, Nobu and Itachi are his own people. If they completely fall out, they will be considered as our own fighting force.

Xiaonan and Jiao Jiao are somewhat close friends. Once they start fighting, no one will kill them.

However, the remaining Sasori, Deidara, Kisame, Obito, and Black Zetsu are a bit difficult to deal with.

Among them, Kisame is the purest. He is absolutely loyal to Nagato. But the premise is that Nagato implements the Moon Eye Plan. Because Kisame is a supporter of the Moon Eye Plan.

Moreover, this honest man who likes to make hand seals is much stronger than expected. He can almost be said to be the ultimate among regular ninjas.

In the original story, he single-handedly defeated the Eight-Tails, and his record was amazing. Aoba is probably comparable to the third generation at his peak.

Sasori and Deidara both reached the Kage level. But in the duel between top masters, both of them were just one step short. The only problem was that these two guys were both small soldier killers.

Even though they were not very good at fighting against opponents of the same level, they were extremely lethal against opponents of a lower level. Moreover, both of them were the kind of opponents who were not afraid of being besieged, making them quite difficult to deal with.

The last and most dangerous characters are Obito and Black Zetsu.

Kotoamatsukami in Aoba's left eye has been prepared for Obito for a long time. Once they really fight, he will not hesitate at all.

But Black Zetsu still made him extremely wary of this top-level guy.

You have to know that in the original plot, this guy didn't die until the end. Instead, he was sealed up again.

According to the status of birth, this guy is at the same level as the Six Paths Sage. Although due to the hasty birth, he does not have the same level of combat power as the Six Paths Sage. But his status is incredibly high.

The best proof of this is the fact that Six Paths Madara was killed instantly with one strike. And Aoba has always suspected that this guy is not without fighting power, but in order to revive Kaguya, he will avoid fighting in most cases to save himself.

Because it has an almost eternal life, it does not need to fight to the death with others. It can just hide and wait for the enemy to slowly die of old age.

While thinking, Aoba felt that he had recovered almost completely. He immediately gave the order to prepare to show up. However, at this moment, Karin next to him suddenly gave a signal.

Team 7 had practiced with Karin many times and immediately understood what she meant.

"At your feet!"

Aoba shouted, and then the ground surged, and a large-scale earth-style ninjutsu covered all the Konoha ninjas.
