Naruto: The Strongest Sage.

Aoba also participated in some work, cleaning up the examination room for the second exam and capturing several Iwagakure spies.

Among the five villages, Konoha and Kumogakure are the strongest on paper, while Sandagakure is the weakest. Kirigakure is a secluded village, while Iwagakure is a pure troublemaker.

Currently, most of the bounties offered on the black market for outstanding newcomers from the major ninja villages are made by the Iwagakure.

Rock Ninjas rarely initiate all-out wars, but as soon as they get a chance, these guys will come up and take a bite.

The Cloud Ninja has been very arrogant these years, but they never dare to start a full-scale war easily. This is because as long as the Cloud Ninja fights Konoha, the Iwagakure will definitely stab it in the back.

Ohnoki is an old man who has become very cunning. As long as he can take advantage of others, his face doesn't matter at all.

Iwagakure did not participate in this Chunin Exam, but there were more spies than candidates from all the major ninja villages.

The point is, they are not just here to gather intelligence. They are actually planning to poison the examinees from the major ninja villages, wanting to kill a few of them, damage Konoha's reputation, and at the same time provoke conflicts between Konoha and other ninja villages.

The properties of a troublemaker can be said to have been brought to the extreme.

Fortunately, Konoha was well prepared and no major disaster occurred.

In order to prepare for the Chunin Exam, Aoba also conducted targeted practical training for the three little ones.

The three children were all extremely talented. The brief fight with Zabuza had made them realize their own shortcomings. These days, they have been repeatedly practicing various coordinated tactics.

However, the Chunin Exam cannot be passed by cooperation alone.

In the third round, when it was one-on-one, he still had to have his own trump card to get enough points.

Among the three, Naruto is the simplest. His trump card is his endless chakra and amazing physical strength.

After Aoba returned from the Wave Country mission, he began to teach him the Rasengan. However, the difficulty of this move is really high. Naruto is still unable to use it in actual combat.

But under Aoba's training, Naruto's physical skills have made great progress and he has begun to have his own style.

Naruto is a different guy from others. It is difficult for him to grow through pure training.

He is a practical ninja. This is why Aoba complained about him cheating before. Let's not talk about anything else, just the scene in the plot, when he fought against Neji in the Chunin Exam.

He was hit by Neji so many times. If Neji had stabbed him with the kunai in his hand a few times, Naruto would have died long ago.

In the original plot, this is very outrageous. Anyone who fights with Naruto hits him with fists or kicks. No matter how many times they can hit Naruto, those people will not use sharp weapons to hit his vital points, which is really beyond reproach.

Reality is not a cartoon, and Aoba would never take such a risk. When sparring with Naruto, he beat him up countless times.

In the plot, when Naruto was training, he would let his shadow clones fight by themselves. This kind of actual combat training was most suitable for his characteristics.

After being brutally beaten every day, this kid's actual combat ability has become much stronger than in the original plot.

Qingye didn't like the kind of explosive comeback under extreme conditions. If possible, he hoped that every battle would be a crushing victory, and to reduce the variables to the minimum.

Sasuke's style is different from Naruto's. He is more aggressive and more ruthless. Based on his characteristics, Aoba asked him to assist in the practice of swordsmanship.

Although he couldn't master Aoba's wind-based ninjutsu, he was very skilled in lightning-based chakra transformation. This technique, when applied to swordsmanship, would become a weakened version of the Thunder Blade or the Thunder Blade.

However, the latter two require extremely compressed high-energy lightning. Sasuke can do it, but he is not proficient enough. It is still a little bit lacking in actual combat application.

As for Karin, it goes without saying that because of the relationship with Yumi, Aoba can be said to treat Karin as his own daughter.

Her attributes are earth and water. Her talents are somewhat similar to Naruto's, with an astonishing amount of chakra.

Therefore, the development direction that Qingye customized for her was to be a ninjutsu-type map cannon ninja. Her special training content was to release these two attributes of ninjutsu as quickly as possible and try to combine attack and defense.

At the same time, she was able to initially manipulate the Uzumaki clan's Diamond Blockade. This was considered her last trump card.

Sakura did not sign up for the Chunin Exam because she did not form a team. She has just finished the initial theoretical learning stage and is still far from being able to practice. For Sakura, this Chunin Exam is both dangerous and a waste of time.

Ninja promotion is not just about taking exams. As long as her strength is up, Aoba has plenty of ways to help her get promoted.

In fact, Sakura has always had a doubt in her heart.

Teacher Aoba and I were both civilian ninjas, but the information he brought out and the various valuable equipment in the laboratory far exceeded the upper limit of civilian ninjas.

This teacher of mine seems to have some huge secret.

Qingye naturally knew Xiaoying's doubts. But he did not take the initiative to explain them to her. Some things were better for her to see for herself.

During this time, another achievement of Aoba's laboratory was finally completed. Because of Sakura's joining, Aoba built another small laboratory to house Hidan.

And now, Feiduan has finally completed the fusion of the first generation cells.

Hidan, who was originally immortal, had reached a level of physical perfection that was difficult to describe after completing the first generation of cell fusion.

The amount of chakra increased dramatically, and Wood Release was successfully awakened. Hidan, who originally only knew how to use physical skills, now made up for his weakness in ninjutsu.

This guy is different from Yumi who has not received any ninjutsu training. Hidan has a lot of practical experience. So he is much faster than Yumi in adapting to the new body and Wood Release.

Moreover, under Aoba's order, Feidan desperately learned various wood-style ninjutsu. The effect of Kotoamatsukami was incredibly strong.

Hidan's learning ability was not strong. But as long as Aoba spoke, he would take it as an oracle. Relying on his immortal body and the recovery ability of Hashirama's cells, he studied hard day and night.

Qingye sometimes thought that maybe this was the true use of Kotoamatsukami. As long as he fired Kotoamatsukami, he could directly create a hardworking genius.

If I had had the same learning attitude as Hidan in my previous life, I wouldn't have ended up in such a mess.

But Aoba's requirements for Hidan were far from over. After completing the physical skills and ninjutsu, Aoba also wanted to make up for the last shortcoming of Hidan, illusion.

As for how to make up for it, Aoba had already prepared it. The only intact Sharingan in his hand was prepared for Hidan.
