Naruto: The Strongest Sage.

Among the five major clans, Kumogakure has the greatest ambition and is constantly challenging Konoha's dominance.

The main reason is that Konoha has been tolerant over the years, making the other party increasingly aware of Konoha's weakness.

After the Uchiha clan was exterminated, the other side was ready to make a move and openly stationed troops on the border.

Konoha also responded by mobilizing a large number of troops to reinforce the front line. The two sides have been in a standoff for some time.

The Yunyin side should also be weighing the strength of both sides and considering whether to start a war.

The two sides had been entangled at the border for several months. Finally, there was a clear trend of war on the side of Kumogakure.

Qingye didn't know what exactly happened in this battle. Maybe his own butterfly effect also had a certain impact.

In the original plot, this battle did not develop into a war between ninja villages. But now it seems that this is not necessarily the case. After all, Konoha is really weak now. Whether to start a war is just a matter of thought of Kumogakure.

"Kamikawa Aoba, you have fought against the ninjas of Kumogakure many times at the border and have extensive experience. This time, I appoint you as the captain of the baggage rhyme team. Go to the front line immediately and deliver a batch of supplies."

"Yes." Qingye accepted the task without any hesitation, but he had already started thinking in his heart.

The transportation of supplies is the most important part of logistics. After all, ninjas are highly agile professions, and things like sneak attacks on the way are too common.

During the Third War that year, the Fourth Hokage relied on Flying Thunder God to break up the enemy into small groups and launch sneak attacks on the enemy's rear, completely wearing down Iwagakure and Kumogakure, and finally won the war.

In a sense, the Fourth Hokage is almost a real-life cheat for Konoha. If the Fourth Hokage hadn't died, even if the Uchiha clan was exterminated, the Hidden Cloud Clan would never dare to start a war lightly.

One Minato Namikaze is enough to intimidate the entire ninja world of this era.

Military operations naturally require the fastest possible speed. The baggage train was ready that day. By nightfall, Aoba had already led the team out of Konoha.

The team had 30 people in total. They carried a large number of seal scrolls. This was also necessary for the transportation of supplies in the Ninja Realm. If they were transported using ordinary methods, one problem would be that it would be too slow, and the other problem would be that the target would be too large. Facing an enemy attack, it would be almost impossible to defend.

When Qingye saw his team, he felt something was wrong because this team was too weak.

In the entire team, there was only one jonin, himself, and a special jonin, Red Bean. The rest were all chunins and genins. And all the ninjas were civilian ninjas. There were almost no ninjas from big families like Ino-Shika-Chou or Hyuga.

This lineup is too obvious. This group of people are 100% a group of baits.

"Hey, Qingye. You've been back for so long, but you didn't even bother to get together with us. You've been away for a few years, don't you recognize your old friends?"

Hongdou is heartless and is still eating meatballs while chatting with Aoba.

Aoba had a good relationship with Anko before. After all, the other party was Orochimaru's disciple, and she was Orochimaru's assistant, so the two met many times.

However, after Qingye was liquidated, the two never met again. Although Hongdou stayed in the village, she was actually marginalized.

In the plot, it was not until several years later that she became an examiner for the Chunin Exam. However, Konoha had already noticed something was wrong with that exam. It is unclear whether Red Bean was appointed as the examiner to make her feel good or to take the blame.

After returning, Aoba did not reconnect with Red Bean because he knew that Red Bean was the resurrection vessel of Orochimaru. The relationship between him and Orochimaru was too complicated, and he instinctively did not want to get close to him.

Unexpectedly, they were assigned to the mission together. Qingye even felt that Konoha was killing two birds with one stone.

Using them as bait not only eliminated the two hidden dangers, but also played a role in the end. This method was obviously the style of Guoying Danzo.

I can only say that the title of Guoying is really not wrong. Qingye originally thought that this guy would not pay attention to him. But he immediately arranged for himself to die.

That's right, in Qingye's opinion, since it was a bait, then this team was obviously going to die. Kumogakure was not a half-baked team like Sandgakure.

Their current strength is actually comparable to Konoha, and they may even have an advantage. And the reckless men of Kumogakure are as powerful as thunder when they strike.

If this team was really a decoy, there was little chance of survival.

"Red Bean, don't you feel that our team is a little too weak? Among thirty people, only two of us have the fighting power of a jonin."

"Is there any problem with this? This is still the Land of Fire. Could it be possible that Kumogakure can penetrate deep into the Land of Fire and kill our team?"

What Hongdou said made sense. But Qingye knew that first, the so-called national border had no meaning to the bandits in Kumogakure.

In the previous life, many people said how united Kumogakure was, and that it would be a good place to go if one defected.

But in fact, after being in this world, you will find a problem. That is, Kumogakure is the worst ninja village in the world.

These beasts always go wherever they want to go in all the countries on this continent. There used to be many small ninja villages and ninja clans around Kumogakure, but now they have all been annexed by them or completely eliminated.

In order to catch up with Konoha, these guys have been collecting all kinds of secret blood limit in recent years. To this end, they have slaughtered countless small ninja villages and ninja clans.

But most people in the ninja world dare not say a word about this, because if you dare to object, the Raikage may come to your house the next day.

Before the Third War, they dared to enter Konoha and kidnap Kushina. Konoha is not a small ninja village. At that time, it was still the strongest of the five major ones. But in their eyes, they can come whenever they want.

The most dangerous thing is that the brainwashing education in Kumogakure is even more cruel than that in Konoha. Those who come to Konoha to carry out missions have no bottom line and will do anything to achieve their goals. If the mission fails, they will die.

To highlight the one who is willing to risk his life to disgust Konoha.

After the Third World War, they were clearly the defeated nation, but the envoys dared to rush into the Hyuga family and snatch Hinata, the little princess of the Hyuga family.

If you fail, bite back on the spot.

The entire style of Kumogakure gave Aoba a strong sense of militarism.

This kind of ninja village is the source of cholera in the ninja world. They don't need any reason, they don't even bother to find an excuse. As long as they can beat you, they want your life as soon as they meet you.

Therefore, when Qingye was at the border, he went on a killing spree. He left no survivors among the Yunyin who fell into his hands.

It is precisely because of this that he and Kumogakure have a deep blood feud. It can only be said that Danzo's decision to use him as bait was a stroke of genius from a strategic point of view.

But for Qingye, all he wants to say now is, I bought a watch last year.
