Naruto: The Strongest Sage.

In the woods by the river, Sasuke finished his training again, panting. He was a little unwilling because he still hadn't completed the instantaneous chakra attribute change.

Although Aoba-sensei has already stressed that even many jonin would find it difficult to complete this kind of training within this amount of time.

But he still felt unwilling to give up, because he always had a feeling that if it was that person, he would definitely be able to do it.

Yes, even though Sasuke hated Itachi to the core, he had to admit that Uchiha Itachi was a very scary enemy. He had followed Uchiha Itachi since he was a child, and he knew very well how terrifying this brother's abilities were.

Now think about it, since he was very young, Uchiha Itachi has been fully developed in the three aspects of ninja, body and illusion. And each of them is impeccable top level.

If it were him, he would definitely be able to complete this training faster.

Sasuke looked at his shaking right hand and once again secretly hated his own incompetence. He really wanted to learn the ninjutsu called Lightning Release Flash.

Qingye had demonstrated the effect of that move to him before. Extremely high speed and penetrating power. This was an impeccable and powerful ninjutsu.

As long as he made a move, he even thought that this ninjutsu was almost impossible to dodge. The indescribable ultra-high-speed trajectory gave him hope of killing Uchiha Itachi.

It's just that this technique is too difficult. So difficult that he hasn't even gotten started yet.

"Hey, Sasuke, are you still practicing here? Tomorrow is the weekend, and I have an appointment with Shikamaru and the others to eat grilled fish together. It's right by the river, and we can catch the fish ourselves."

Naruto's voice is always so full of energy.

In this timeline, Aoba taught Naruto some simple ninja skills in advance, which greatly improved his combat ability.

Apart from anything else, Naruto's physical strength is amazing. His chakra capacity can be described as tons of chakra. As long as he learns to use this, it will be difficult for these school brats to defeat him in actual combat.

But a poor student is still a poor student. This guy's theory and ninjutsu are still as bad as ever. He still can't learn the three-body technique.

The graduation exam for Konoha's Ninja School is the Three Body Techniques. You will randomly choose one. The ridiculous thing is that Naruto is not proficient in any of the three.

If the plot continues like this, Aoba estimates that the scene at the beginning of Naruto will still be indispensable.

To be honest, Konoha's plan to let Naruto learn the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique was a brilliant move.

No one is more suitable for this ninjutsu than Naruto. With more chakra, he can bear more clones. With thick nerves, he can withstand more mental feedback.

There is no doubt that the multiple shadow clones should be the result of research by Konoha's top leaders. This shows that they are still very concerned about Naruto.

This is also the reason why Aoba rarely contacted Naruto later. Contacting Sasuke was barely acceptable, but contacting Naruto was a bit too irritating to those old guys.

After several attempts, Aoba, who had no intention of turning against Konoha, finally chose to take a step back and just concentrate on training Sasuke.

Of course, his original target was Sasuke. After all, Naruto's style was totally incompatible with his own. There was no way Naruto could learn his style.

Aoba family's laboratory. Five months after Hashirama's cell transplant.

"The 41st test begins."

Aoba once again conducted a comprehensive examination of his body.

Since the transplant of Hashirama's cells, the fusion process was unusually slow. Aoba did not dare to take it lightly and conducted a comprehensive examination of his body every now and then.

But the feedback has been positive. My body is improving across the board.

Muscle strength, cell activity, chakra, all attributes are rapidly improving. As the official plug-in of Naruto, the effect of Hashirama's cells is really immediate.

Yumi and Kakashi worked together to give Aoba a detailed examination and finally came to a conclusion.

"Aoba, according to this result, your body has completely merged with Hashirama's cells. And judging from the current results, your body has not shown any adverse rejection or any abnormal mutation. This is a perfect fusion process. How do you feel now?"

"very good."

Qingye stretched out his right hand, and a ball of lightning gathered in his hand. This was the prerequisite for releasing a flash. According to his previous chakra, he could only use this move three times in a row.

If you squeeze it hard, it can be used about five times.

And now, he felt that he could use it about... a hundred times. In other words, the amount of chakra alone had increased by more than twenty times.

This was just a test after the fusion. In fact, as he continued to practice and extract, the total amount of chakra would increase. It was estimated that it would eventually stay at 40 to 50 times the original amount.

How should I put it? This amount of chakra is enough to deal with regular battles in the ninja world, or even wars.

But for Aoba, this level is just barely usable. Yes, just barely usable. It is still a long way from the tailed beast level chakra that Aoba wants.

But this is only the first step of the plan. It can be considered a successful completion.

Besides chakra, his physical changes were the biggest.

It is no exaggeration to say that Aoba now has a physique comparable to that of the Uzumaki clan. The reason why the Senju clan is not mentioned is because, except for Hashirama, the rest of the Senju clan is incomparable.

He could feel that his pure strength had increased by about twice, and his endurance had increased by more than three times. This was also considered the unique physique of the Uzumaki clan.

With the overall improvement of his strength and physical chakra, combined with the acceleration effect of his wind escape technique, Qingye's speed also increased sharply.

A more intuitive description is that if he encounters the Raikage now, he doesn't need to enter the Sage Mode to keep up with the opponent's speed. And there is no need to pursue a quick victory like before.

The abundant chakra and endurance allowed him to fight the Raikage for a long time. Under this premise, if he entered the Sage Mode, he would have a 70% chance of defeating or even killing the Raikage head-on.

To be frank, after this operation, Aoba has truly become a Kage-level fighter.

The only thing that made Aoba a little regretful was that although he had completed the fusion of Hashirama's cells, for some reason, he had not yet discovered the potential of Wood Release.

Fortunately, he had no particular interest in Wood Release, so he didn't really care. Kakashi, on the other hand, looked a little disappointed.

As a native of Konoha, Kakashi's feelings towards Wood Release are obviously higher than those of Aoba.

However, Qingye soon discovered another change in himself. And this change was even more important to Qingye than Wood Release.

Because he found that after fusing with Hashirama's cells, the properties of his new body were basically completed.

That's right, Qingye now has the five conventional attributes of earth, fire, wind, water, and thunder, as well as the Yang attribute. The only thing that is not complete is the Yin attribute.
