Naruto: The Strongest Sage.

When Aoba gave this answer, Orochimaru's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that the secret of the Samsara Eye was right in front of him.

"I think there must be some special conditions involved, right? After all, the Uchiha haven't had a pair of Samsara eyes in all these years. Wait, Sharingan, Uchiha. Are you saying that the leader behind the Akatsuki organization is an Uchiha?"

"No, I don't know. I can only say that in theory it is true."

"Interesting, I'm beginning to feel that this ninja world is much more interesting than I thought. Aoba-kun, this is all thanks to your intelligence. Tell me, what do you want from this news?"

Qingye thought for a while, then spoke.

"I need a sample of the first generation of cells. And a set of equipment. Equipment for human experiments."

The first generation of cells is a bug-level plug-in in the Naruto world. However, there are not many people who can withstand this plug-in.

Konoha has been experimenting for so many years, and only Yamato succeeded. It takes ten Sharingans to suppress Danzo with one hand. All these show that the cells of the first generation are extremely dangerous.

Orochimaru was also obsessed with the cells of the first generation. But later he found that he really couldn't bear it, and finally turned to the Sharingan. Now that Aoba spoke, he couldn't help but think a lot.

"Has Aoba found a way to safely transplant primary cells?"

"If that's the case, I wouldn't need to make a deal with Orochimaru. Konoha is also conducting the same experiment now."

"Then do you know what it means to transplant the first generation of cells?"

"Of course I know. But Lord Orochimaru, have you forgotten something?"

"what?"

"I am just a civilian ninja. I don't have a Hokage as my teacher, no family secrets, no bloodline limit. In this world, no matter how hard I try, my limit is limited.

Over the years, I have practiced and extracted chakra every day. But my total chakra is less than one tenth of that of Lord Orochimaru. This is the tragedy of us civilian ninjas.

I got this information by chance. What I have to do now is to turn this information into my strength."

"I see, Aoba-kun is also a person who pursues power. I feel more and more that you should come to my place. Aoba-kun, my place is the best place for you to perform."

"Thank you very much for your appreciation, Lord Orochimaru. I will seriously consider this option."

"That's good. I'm very optimistic about you, Qingye."

"In that case, let's end this transaction here, Lord Orochimaru. You can't stay here for too long. There may be ANBU surveillance around my house."

"Haha, the third generation is still the same. Well, that's it. I will send you what you need later."

After Orochimaru finished speaking, he turned into a ball of mud. The white snake also turned into white smoke and disappeared.

Qingye also breathed a sigh of relief and wiped his sweaty forehead.

Every transaction with Orochimaru was a spiritual battle. He knew that if he showed any flaws, Orochimaru would eat him up completely.

In every transaction, he revealed a lot of real and effective information. But at the same time, it was incomplete. This was to prevent Orochimaru from defaulting on his debts, and it was also a means to keep his information valuable.

Orochimaru was also very clear that Aoba had not told him everything, but every time he had some substantial gains, he could barely hold back from taking action.

But this peaceful transaction will not last long. Aoba needs too many things, and Orochimaru's appetite will only grow. One day, Orochimaru will completely turn against him and want to get all the information in his mind at once.

Before that day comes, Aoba needs to ensure that he grows to the point where he can have a peaceful conversation with Orochimaru, or even have the ability to suppress Orochimaru.

To this end, he made a series of plans for himself.

The cultivation of immortal arts comes first. His affinity with natural energy has reached a very high level. After absorbing a certain amount of natural energy, he can hardly feel the stiffness.

At this rate, he felt that in another two months, he would be able to make a preliminary attempt to complete his Sage Mode.

Once you complete the Sage Mode training, your strength will be able to reach a whole new level immediately. At that time, you will at least be an elite jonin, between the level of Kage.

The reason why he couldn't reach the level of Kage was that Aoba's total chakra was too little. Sage Mode didn't use natural energy directly. At least in the early stages, it used a mixture of natural energy, chakra, and mental power.

The addition of natural energy is equivalent to increasing a portion of the chakra and at the same time increasing the power of ninjutsu. However, if the total amount of chakra is too small, this increase is actually limited.

This is a classic barrel theory. Chakra is the shortest piece of wood in the barrel of Aoba. As long as this problem is not solved, its upper limit will always be limited.

The solution that Aoba thought of was to transplant Hashirama's cells, but the specific operation would still require time and a lot of experiments.

Secondly, Aoba has another weakness, that is, as a ninja born from a civilian background, his reserves in the three aspects of ninja body illusion are too few.

When he traveled through time, he was in the Ninja School. But as everyone knows, the Ninja School in Konoha only teaches the Three Body Techniques. Although he studied very hard and achieved excellent results in various theoretical courses, it was still useless.

In addition to the Three Body Techniques, he only inherited a D-level ninjutsu called Wind Style: Wind Scythe from his deceased parents.

That's right, besides the Three Body Techniques, he only knows this one ninjutsu. Based on this wind escape ninjutsu, he developed the Sky Slash, a ninjutsu.

After that, they fought against Kumogakure for three years at the border. They gradually developed other supporting ninjutsu. At the same time, they also had the electromagnetic cannon as a killer move.

But that was all. He knew some medical ninjutsu. He learned it when he was working as an experimental assistant under Orochimaru. Including the palm technique, these were all the fighting methods he mastered.

Look at Kakashi in the original work, who knows thousands of ninjutsu. Jiraiya, Uchiha Itachi, all kinds of strange ninjutsu, all kinds of magical weapons, emerge in an endless stream. These are the foundation of a ninja, and also the upper limit of a ninja.

And Qingye didn't have any of these. Therefore, his first goal was to increase his total chakra amount.

The second goal is to accumulate and reserve your own foundation.
