Naruto: The Strongest Sage.

Deidara and Sasori approached Kumogakure from the sky. As one of the few ninjas in the ninja world who could fly, Deidara was a dimensionality reduction attack for most ninja villages.

Apart from anything else, there are few people in the entire ninja world who can stop him from flying in the sky and dropping bombs.

"It's a bit too quiet down there. It looks like they are already prepared."

"It doesn't matter, we just have to complete our mission, let's get started."

The Hidden Cloud Village had not expected that the first attack would come from the sky. When the explosion sounded, a large number of ninjas had no time to react.

Dozens of Cloud Ninjas were killed or injured by dozens of clay bombs. However, the Cloud Ninjas reacted very quickly and responded immediately after the first wave.

Dozens of lightning bolts shot from the ground to the sky. Caught off guard, Deidara's clay bird's wings were broken, but fortunately he was prepared.

Before landing, the bird was repaired.

"Damn, what is that?"

"It's some kind of chakra weapon, capable of striking high-altitude targets. Be careful, they are more prepared than you think."

Scorpion said as he raised his hand and released a dozen puppets to attack downwards. Deidara was almost tricked just now, and in anger, he threw clay bombs down without any cost.

The Kumo Ninjas below were prepared, so this move didn't kill many people. But people can run away, but buildings can't.

After several rounds, at least seven or eight streets in the Hidden Cloud Village were reduced to ruins.

Just as the Hidden Cloud Village was busy dealing with the attack from the sky, on the ground, Hoshigaki Kisame, Uchiha Itachi, and four Akatsuki members, Nobuyuki and Kakuzu, had already taken advantage of the chaos to enter the Hidden Cloud Village.

"According to our intelligence, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki should be in the center of the village. It's heavily guarded and not that easy to get into."

Kakuzu analyzed the situation, but Kisame saw it differently.

"It doesn't matter. Just force her out."

"Water Style. Great Waterfall Technique." Kisame, known as the Tailed Beast without a Tail, had an extremely high chakra capacity. With his full power, his Water Style directly covered more than a dozen streets.

"How dare you." The Raikage shouted in the water escape. Then the water exploded and the Raikage's tall body appeared in front of Kisame, flashing with lightning.

Shin drew his sword to support Kisame and slashed at the Raikage's arm with the Aerial Sword in his hand.

The Raikage acted as if he hadn't seen it, and his body, which was originally moving at high speed, actually accelerated again. Before the blade touched him, it had already hit Kisame.

With a bang, Kisame's body flew backwards dozens of meters.

Then hundreds of Cloud Ninjas appeared around the four people.

When the Cloud Village War began, Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu also appeared in the Rain Village in a space vortex.

"Although it's a small ninja village, it's managed better than expected. And this rain is some kind of perception ninjutsu."

Madara looked at the ninja village in front of him and commented casually.

"This jutsu is called the Rain Tiger Freedom Jutsu, and it is a perception ninjutsu performed by Nagato with the help of the Samsara Eye. He should have known about our arrival by now, but it doesn't matter. More than half of the members of the Akatsuki organization have been dispatched to attack the Kumogakure Village today. No one in the village can resist us."

"Even if all of them are here, can they stop me?"

Madara was very dissatisfied with Black Zetsu's underestimation of him. The reason why he did not rush over directly to take back the Samsara Eye was because the Samsara Eye's ability could restrain the Impure World Body. Another reason was that the Impure World Body had failed to defeat Aoba before, which made him a little cautious.

But that didn't mean he really looked down on the ninjas of this era.

"Madara-sama is right. According to my information, Nagato's body has been worn down by the Rinnegan. It should be easy for Madara-sama to capture him."

"Hmph. Let's go. He's heading to the beach. It doesn't look like he's going to fight us in the city."

"Haha, this is the difference between mortals and gods. They are always bound by meaningless emotions."

...............

In Konoha, in the laboratory, Tsunade is examining Aoba's eyes.

"The Lightning Nation and the Rain Nation are already at war. Are you sure we won't get involved?"

"In a battle of that level, only Kakashi and I can get close. I'm afraid the others don't even have the qualifications to get close. What's the point of intervening?"

"But what about my great grandfather? Shouldn't he be able to intervene? Ever since he was resurrected, you have been hiding him in Konoha. You didn't even let him take part in the capture of Uchiha Madara?"

"Hehe, Tsunade. Do you really think that I want to capture Uchiha Madara?"

"Isn't it?" Tsunade was also surprised. She had always thought that Aoba's goal was to capture Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu and completely eliminate the danger they brought.

But now it seems that he has other ideas.

"Whether you believe it or not, compared to your great-grandfather, Uchiha Madara's philosophy is closer to mine."

"That's true. You are all the kind of people who want to unify the ninja world. My great grandfather would never do such a thing."

"That's right, your great grandfather is too idealistic. In fact, when Konoha was first established, it was the most perfect time for unification. But he actually stopped. I don't know what he was thinking.

He wanted peace, but looking at the entire ninja world, how many years of true peace have there been since his death?"

"In fact, after learning about the situation of the ninja world after his death, he also regretted it. But according to what you said, Uchiha Madara now wants to unify the ninja world, right?"

"Yes, according to the stone tablet in the Uchiha family shrine. When the holder of the Rinnegan is close to the moon, he can use the reflection of the moon to perform a super illusion called Infinite Tsukuyomi. It will cover the entire ninja world and make everyone fall asleep. Everyone can live the life they want in their dreams."

"this......"

To a time traveler like Aoba, this kind of talk is nonsense. But to the people in the ninja world who have experienced countless wars, there is actually no shortage of people who listen to it.

Kisame in the Akatsuki organization knew the core of the plan and still supported it. It is enough to see that the ninja world is really like hell for many people.

"Why would an Uchiha leave such information behind? Why didn't anyone mention it before?"

"Because the words on that stone tablet can only be seen by the Mangekyō Sharingan. I guess Uchiha Itachi should have seen it too. But that guy is a paranoid person. This kind of personality will not be easily influenced."

"So, Uchiha Madara wants to make the entire ninja world fall into illusion just because of the record on a stone tablet?"

"That's right. And I can tell you for sure that the contents on the stone tablet have been tampered with."
