Naruto: The Strongest Sage.

Before today, I had never imagined that the situation in the ninja world would be divided between Kirigakure and Konoha.

The rise of Kirigakure is completely different from Konoha. Although Kamikawa Aoba is domineering, Tsunade and Konoha still have to maintain their dignity.

But Kirigakure is different. No one could have imagined that Kirigakure would be controlled by a ninja legend who had been dead for decades.

No one could have imagined that Uchiha Madara was so unethical. On the third day after making up his mind, he directly attacked the Land of Lightning.

The Kumogakure was in a state of chaos at this time. The Fourth Raikage died so hastily that the Kumogakure was completely unprepared.

The most important thing is that the Cloud Ninja has lost the three strongest masters, the Raikage, the Eight-Tails, and the Two-Tails. There are also a large number of elite masters. If it weren't for the remaining power, the Cloud Ninja would have directly become second-rate.

However, the Cloud Ninjas still have a backup of their secret techniques and ninjutsu heritage. As long as they have time, they will eventually be able to rise again.

The prerequisite is that someone among them can stabilize the situation, defend the country, and then develop slowly.

According to the original plot, Darui should have taken over as the Fifth Raikage.

But at that time, it was the Fourth Raikage who paved the way for him, allowing him to successfully ascend to the throne.

Now that the Fourth Raikage has died suddenly, although Darui has some reputation, his position is just the Raikage's bodyguard. How can he win the support of the people?

And just when the Cloud Ninja was in internal strife, Uchiha Madara suddenly took action.

How could the Kumo Ninja, who had lost most of their elites, resist the current Uchiha Madara? Even without the Mangekyō or even the Samsara Eye, with only a pair of three magatama, Uchiha Madara was still the pinnacle of regular ninjas.

In less than a day, the Cloud Ninja fell.

A large number of Cloud Ninjas died in the battle, some fled and became wandering ninjas, and some surrendered directly to Uchiha Madara.

After all, he is Madara. In the Cloud Ninja who advocates the use of force, losing to Madara or even following him is understandable.

This wave of personal action directly made up for the weakness of Kirigakure. At the same time, it also increased Kirigakure's ninjutsu and secret technique reserves, which immediately improved the strength of the entire Kirigakure.

In Konoha, Aoba looked at the information sent by the Anbu and smiled softly.

Tsunade next to him glanced at him.

"The Kirigakure has annexed the Kumogakure and its strength has greatly increased. Don't you have any sense of crisis?"

"Haha, Uchiha Madara still uses the old-fashioned approach. Expand through war. But the training of ninjas is not something that can be done overnight. Even Uchiha cannot train a group of elite ninjas overnight.

Once Uchiha Madara is defeated or dies, everything under his command will collapse immediately. How can I feel any sense of crisis when I see such a powerful person? The more he is like this, the less we need to worry.

For now, our attention should be on Obito. We can't relax until this guy shows up."

Aoba is indeed not worried about Uchiha Madara now. As soon as Madara started to build in Kirigakure, he understood what he meant. This arrogant guy wanted to surpass him in this aspect.

In fact, if Uchiha Madara took back his Rinnegan, Aoba would really not be his match now.

According to the original plot, even Naruto, who has obtained the power of the Six Paths, can only barely sense the Chakravartin in Sage Mode. Without an equal or higher level Samsara Eye, the Chakravartin cannot be broken.

As for Obito, he doesn't look as threatening as Uchiha Madara. After all, he is not the original owner of the Rinnegan, and he was also seriously injured during the battle that day.

But Aoba's regard for Obito has reached the highest level, because Aoba vaguely guessed that there was some more hidden reason why Obito was able to have the last laugh that day.

This factor did not appear in the original plot. It was only because of my intrusion that a hint of it appeared.

If Qingye's guess is correct, then this is the biggest butterfly effect he has caused, and also the most dangerous variable. The kind that can be shattered into pieces if you are not careful.

The best way to confirm all this is to find Obito and take back the Samsara Eye. But this is not an easy task.

With Konoha's current strength and the Anbu's full efforts, they still couldn't find any trace of Obito. This was really not a good sign.

The progress of his Eternal Kaleidoscope fusion was still slow. He could feel that the progress bar was moving forward, but it seemed to be suppressed to the slowest by some force.

Qingye knew that he couldn't rush the problem of the Eternal Eye, so he focused on another kind of practice.

In the deepest part of Konoha Prison, in a simple room, Yukito was lying on the bed, bored and daydreaming.

She had been captured by Konoha for a while. She had expected to be tortured, or even have her tailed beasts pulled out. But after being imprisoned, no one paid any attention to her.

If three meals a day were not delivered on time, she would feel like she was forgotten.

She tried to escape from here. But the fact is that the level of Konoha's Sealing Class is completely different from that of the Cloud Ninja. She can't mobilize any chakra at all now, let alone connect with the tailed beast in her body.

This left You Mu Ren waiting in prison every day.

Until this day, the nightmare of the Cloud Ninja, Kamikawa Aoba, appeared in front of her.

"Are you here to kill me?"

"Why do you say that? Do you feel any possibility of being killed here?"

"Haha, I'm a Jinchūriki. You don't kill me, and you don't attack the tailed beasts. What do you want to do?"

Yukito noticed that Aoba came alone. If he wanted to attack the tailed beast, it would be impossible for him to do it alone. Therefore, she concluded that Kamikawa Aoba was not here to kill her.

"Whether you believe it or not, I have no intention of killing you. In fact, I came here today mainly to tell you a piece of news. The Hidden Cloud Village has been destroyed."

"!!!"

Yu Muren was silent for a while, then suddenly jumped up to grab Qingye.

"You are lying to me, aren't you? It's impossible. Even if Konoha is stronger than Kumogakure, you can't destroy Kumogakure in such a short time. It's impossible, absolutely impossible."

"There's no need for me to lie to you about this. Also, let me correct you, it wasn't us in Konoha who destroyed Kumogakure, it was Kirigakure who did it."

"Kirigakure? That's even more impossible. Kirigakure is no match for Kumogakure."

Although Yukito is a Jinchūriki, her status in Kumogakure is completely incomparable to that of Killer Bee, the younger brother of the Raikage.

Killer Bee is also a high-ranking official in the village. However, according to the wooden figure, he is a war weapon. The two are incomparable.

"Everyone who knows me knows that I never make jokes like this."

Yukito was stunned. In fact, when Qingye opened his mouth, she already knew the answer. She just didn't want to believe it deep down.

After a long time, Yu Mu finally raised his head with difficulty.

"Now, with Kumogakure destroyed, what do you want me to do? Become a weapon of war for your Konoha?"

"Haha, little girl, you may not believe it, but the current Konoha really doesn't value the power of the tailed beast in your body. But after all, you still have some value, come with me."
