Naruto: The Strongest Sage.

In Karin's mind, there were two other teams approaching this side quickly.

Sasuke immediately gestured and everyone went into hiding again.

Not long after, the person showed up.

"These people are...Iwagakure!"

The Iwagakure ninja went straight into the camp of those wandering ninjas, but was not attacked.

"This camp is too close to Konoha. You will be discovered by Konoha at any time."

"Don't worry. We are all disguised as bandits. Even if Konoha sends people, they are just ordinary Genin teams. They can't pose any threat at all."

"Haha, it's up to you. We just want results. And your results are far from meeting our requirements."

"That's right, it's impossible. Because your money is far from enough for us. We are just a group of wandering ninjas. We get involved in the affairs of your big ninja villages just for money.

After all, if something goes wrong, you can blame each other. But we will lose our heads. So, if we don’t get paid, we won’t finish the work. This is the survival rule for us.”

"Hmph." The Iwa Ninja on the opposite side casually threw a purse to them.

"This is your reward. But you must remember that you have to do your job well after receiving the money. Otherwise..."

"Of course, as long as the money is in place, we can massacre the three villages surrounding Konoha in one night, and by the way, we can also clean up all the refugees in this area who want to join Konoha."

As one of the traditional five troublemakers, Iwagakure is the village that likes to hire ninjas the most. In the original plot, the highest bids for the talented ninjas and key figures in the bounty office of each ninja village were basically from Iwagakure.

This time they used the same trick again. Iwagakure currently did not dare to confront Konoha head-on. But they did not want to see Konoha expand smoothly.

They simply used traditional skills, hired a large number of wandering ninjas, and made trouble around Konoha, hunting civilians and preventing refugees from entering Konoha. This was to slow down Konoha's expansion policy.

Whether the effect is good or not is another matter, but it does take up a lot of Konoha's energy. Therefore, Iwagakure will become more aggressive.

This time, they hired the largest group of wandering ninjas, and prepared to give Konoha a hard blow, completely cutting off Konoha's population expansion plan.

Seeing that the deal between the Iwagakure ninja and the leader of the wandering ninjas was over, Sasuke hadn't figured out what to do yet. Naruto next to him couldn't help himself.

"These guys are enemies of Konoha. We must not let them get away."

He rushed out directly after saying that. This action made Minato slap his head suddenly from a distance. In other words, Naruto is his son, and he is also a direct subordinate of Hokage Assistant Kamikawa Aoba.

In fact, if it was during the war, Naruto's behavior would be directly executed by the captain.

You know, his actions exposed his team to the sight of the wandering ninja team and the two Iwagakure Jonin teams.

According to some emergency regulations, Sasuke and the others could just abandon Naruto and leave. But the actual situation would not be like this.

Although Sasuke and Karin looked helpless, they still followed.

"Naruto, you idiot. I swear when I get back I will beat him so hard that he won't be able to get out of bed for a week."

Sasuke muttered through gritted teeth as he and Karin covered Naruto's wings from both sides.

When Naruto rushed out, he scared the ninjas on the other side. But soon they found that there were only four young Konoha ninjas. They were no longer panicked.

The head of the Iwagakure ninja saw Naruto's face and his expression suddenly changed. As Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Naruto was actually not well-known. After all, he had never fought as a Jinchuriki in the outside world since he was a child.

Konoha did a good job of keeping his identity secret in the early days. But as a subordinate of Kamikawa Aoba in the early days, he was actually quite famous. The main reason was that Aoba was too famous. So the information about him became extremely detailed.

"Could it be that Kamikawa Aoba from Konoha's Team 7 is here?"

Although they were confident in their own strength, the Iwagakure ninjas did not think they could defeat Kamikawa Aoba, who was known as the best in the ninja world.

"No, that's not right. There is no Kamikawa Aoba. The other party's status is not enough to continue to lead such a team. In this case, it seems to be just an ordinary Konoha team."

After rushing over, Naruto also felt that he seemed to have done something stupid. Originally, among the wandering ninjas, only one person reached the level of Jonin.

But the two Iwagakure teams that came later were standard jonin teams. So, they had to face three jonin and a dozen chuunin.

This is actually beyond the ability of Class 7 to cope with.

After all, Naruto is currently unable to use the power of the Nine-Tails, and Yugito is also unable to use the power of the Two-Tails. If they can only use their regular combat power, the combat power ratio between the two sides is actually somewhat unbalanced.

On the Konoha side, Aoba received the news from the scene at the same time.

The situation on the scene aroused Aoba's interest. He immediately sent a message to Minato Namikaze, asking him not to take action.

After taking over Team 7, he monitored Sasuke's physical condition at all times.

Qingye knew clearly that Sasuke's pupil power had not increased for a long time. Even if he tried to synthesize his own reserves, they would eventually be gradually dissipated.

This showed that his pupil power had reached its peak. All that was left was to wait for the right moment to open the kaleidoscope.

According to Aoba's theory, the reason why Sasuke cannot open the Mangekyō is because of his body's self-protection.

However, as time went by, Qingye also realized that this statement might not be entirely complete.

After all, Sasuke is the reincarnation of Indra for who knows how many generations. His bloodline and chakra cannot be exactly the same as the real Indra.

Therefore, minor flaws are inevitable.

This is also the reason why his physical condition has been adjusted to the best and his pupil power has reached the extreme, but he is still unable to open the kaleidoscope.

After all, a little pressure is needed. And a battle with a huge gap in strength is undoubtedly a perfect choice.

Originally, Qingye wanted to set up a fight for him personally. But since Iwagakure came to him, he would just go with the flow and take advantage of this incident.

On the other side, after receiving the notification from Aoba, Minato hesitated for a moment, and finally gave up the idea of ​​taking action.

With him around, it was impossible for anyone in Team 7 to actually die. But if he didn't take action, injuries were inevitable.

As a father, he couldn't bear to see his child get hurt. But as a ninja, he chose to obey orders. And this kind of stressful battle is also a key factor in the growth of Naruto and others.

"Do it."

Sasuke gave the order. Naruto and Karin rushed to attack. Multiple shadow clones surrounded them and blocked their movement.

The other is a direct earth escape and earth formation wall with a very large range.

The four earth walls directly blocked all the ninjas on the field within a limited area.

At the same time, Sasuke and Yukito attacked at the same time.

"Fire Style. Great Fire Extinguishment."

"Fire Style. Fire Rat Jade."
