Naruto: The Strongest Sage.

Aoba's words sounded a bit pessimistic. But Tsunade was speechless because deep down in her heart, she actually agreed with Aoba's words.

Human nature itself is such a fucked up thing.

And the fact is, even if Konoha didn't say it, the current Iwagakure and Kumogakure definitely noticed the existence of Uchiha Madara, but they didn't react at all.

Aoba even had no doubt that if possible, they would try to contact Uchiha Madara and try to cooperate.

Whether it’s Kumogakure or Iwagakure, they’re all like this.

This is also the reason why Qingye never thought of using this matter to unite the ninja world from the beginning. He knew it was impossible.

At least it is impossible before the 100,000-strong White Zetsu Army appears.

Therefore, the best way is to destroy and annex other ninja villages. Since ancient times, there has been no other way to achieve great unification except by force.

In fact, both Kumogakure and Iwagakure were aware of Konoha's ambitions.

Ohnoki had come to Konoha to negotiate in person in order to buy time, and he promised many benefits of showing weakness.

But Konoha was very clear that the other party just wanted to buy time.

"According to my intelligence, after Ōnoki returned, he immediately met with the Raikage in secret. We don't know the specific content of the meeting, but we can basically guess it. They should have more in-depth cooperation to fight against Konoha."

"It doesn't matter. Just let them practice. That way we can solve it all at once and save time."

"But Iwagakure is basically at full strength now, and Kumogakure's war potential is also extremely terrifying. If they join forces, we can't underestimate them."

"Believe me, they won't amount to anything."

Despite the deep cooperation between the two ninja villages, their strength on paper is indeed amazing.

But in Aoba's opinion, the Fourth Raikage lost an arm. The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki died. The top fighting force of the Hidden Cloud Village was dead and disabled.

Although Iwagakure has a strong foundation, Ōnoki is old and weak. Although the Dust Release is dangerous, Aoba has the Flying Thunder God and can easily defeat the opponent.

The most important thing is that Konoha currently has four Hokages. Apart from anything else, Hashirama Senju's body was specially cultivated by Aoba.

At least he could exert 70% to 80% of his strength. This level of strength was enough to crush the current ninja world.

In fact, Konoha now has the strength to sweep across the ninja world, but most people don't know it.

The reason why Aoba did not choose to take action was because Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu had returned to dormant state.

The other is Nagato of Akatsuki.

Currently, the forces in the entire ninja world are: Konoha and Sunagakure on one side, Iwagakure and Kumogakure on one side, Black Zetsu and the Mist Village controlled by Madara on one side, and Akatsuki on one side.

The whole situation can be seen. The ninja world has already entered the era of fighting between gods. This is an extremely cruel fact for most ninjas in the ninja world. That is, for the top ninjas of this era, numbers are no longer a threat.

Aoba himself was one of the top people in the ninja world. But this was not the era he wanted to see. Therefore, Black Zetsu and Madara entered a short dormant period, and he also suppressed Konoha's actions.

In his opinion, whether it was Hashirama Senju or Madara Uchiha, their vision was limited by the times and information, and they looked too close.

In fact, the person in the entire ninja world who is closest to Aoba's thinking should be Kaguya Otsutsuki, who is sealed on the moon.

After Kaguya was stabbed in the back, she knew that things were not going well. She did not want to escape, but to gather the power of the ninja world to fight against the Otsutsuki behind her.

But what she wanted was to gather the power of the entire ninja world to herself, while Qingye wanted to improve the overall strength of the ninja world.

Because of the Eternal Eye fusion surgery, Aoba is still recovering and cannot test it himself, so he can only listen to Sakura's report.

"The second generation of chakra coat has begun conducting live experiments. It is expected that actual testing can be carried out within two months."

The first generation of Chakra Coat technology was suppressed by Aoba for quite a long time. Mainly because in this world where bloodline is everything, civilian ninjas can't even catch it when it's placed in front of them.

In order to prevent the further solidification of classes, Aoba suppressed the promotion of the Chakra Coat technology and restricted it to the laboratory.

If it weren't for the previous war, he wouldn't want to announce this matter to the public before the second generation came out.

After a long period of experimental testing, he had basically figured out why the chakra coat could not be effective on civilian ninjas.

If we want to clarify this issue, we have to start with Kaguya.

Kaguya is the originator of Chakra. Although it has not been spread, it is his origin. Later, the Six Paths Sage traveled around the world and founded the Ninja Sect. Chakra was spread to the whole world.

Therefore, all ninjas in the ninja world who are able to refine chakra are essentially descendants of the Six Paths Sage or even Kaguya.

The ninja clan was born in war. This is a very important point.

In the early years of the Ninja World War, countless ninjas fought each other. A large number of ninjas and ninja clans were eliminated. The remaining ones are the ninja clans we see now.

Most of these ninja clans have their own secret techniques, bloodline limits, etc. Of course, there are also ninja clans like the Sarutobi clan that don't seem to have any special features.

But in fact, Qingye studied the blood genes of all the ninjas in Konoha. All the ninjas that have been passed down to the present day are different from civilians and even ordinary ninjas in terms of genes.

In fact, all ninjas have a special commonality. At the genetic level, there is a tendency.

The source of this tendency is naturally invisible, but it can be guessed. It must be the Six Paths Sage, or even Kaguya.

Aoba has a theory about this. He believes that all ninja clans, and even all ninjas, are essentially descendants of Kaguya.

This kind of offspring is not necessarily produced at the biological level, but is caused at the chakra level. Chakra affects genes in reverse, forming the current ninjas and ninja clans.

Since they are descendants, there are distant and near ones. The Uchiha, Senju, Uzumaki, and Hyuga clans can be said to be direct descendants.

The other ninja clans are collateral branches. Even those ninja clans that don't have secret techniques or bloodline limits have genes that are more prone to certain traits than ordinary people.

Although it is not very accurate, this tendency can be simply understood as the genetic concentration of the Otsutsuki. The reverse influence of chakra on the body brings about a genetic tendency.

While every ninja is refining chakra and strengthening himself, it will actually affect his own gene concentration.

This effect was so weak that it was almost unnoticeable. But Qingye had his suspicions from the beginning. After comparing hundreds of different samples and conducting thousands of tests, he still discovered this hidden phenomenon.

After discovering this phenomenon, Qingye locked himself in the laboratory for a day and a night. Afterwards, he returned to normal and stopped researching this phenomenon, as if nothing had happened.
