Naruto: The Strongest Sage.

Aoba prepared gifts for Asuma and Hongya.

"Red, look at this."

Aoba said as he handed over a box of... cigars.

"This is a limited edition cigar imported from the Snow Country, made from snow lotus. Not only can it satisfy your craving for cigarettes, but it can also clear your mind and invigorate your spirit.

Most importantly, this cigar does not have the stench of ordinary tobacco. Instead, it leaves a refreshing fragrance in your mouth after smoking it.”

Before Hong could respond, Aoba immediately spoke to Asuma.

"This is for you. I'm not very good at illusion, so I've been trying to use external objects to supplement it. This pair of bracelets is my third generation test product, and it has a little effect.

As long as the two bracelets are injected with chakra and rubbed against each other, they can release a sound wave that makes people dizzy or even nauseous. Of course, the user will be exempted from this effect by the spell on the wristband.

This is an illusion I came up with, using the pervasive effect of sound to perform an illusion attack. Perhaps you can find an expert in illusion to help me see if I can improve this effect."

Although it is entry-level, in fact, this thing has already achieved absolute practical effect.

The effect of this thing against ninjas like Chunin and Genin is very obvious. If you are not careful, you will be stunned. Although the time is very short. But ninjas are assassins, and this short dizziness is often a punishment of life and death.

Against jonin or even elite jonin, this thing is less effective. In actual combat, it is difficult to play a decisive role and can only interfere to a certain extent.

But even so, the value of this thing is quite high. And unlike Kakashi and Gai's gifts, the two gifts from Yuhi Kurenai and Anko are universal.

This thing is also the ninja tool that Qingye is going to launch for takeout. That's right, he is going to make money by selling goods. It is too expensive to do experiments at home.

In less than half a year, all his savings over the years had been spent. This time, he gave out these gifts to ask these people to help bring the goods.

The one that Qingye gave Hong was an integrated version. Qingye was not going to add a self-immunity function to the ones sold to the public. If you want to be unaffected, then go buy the headphones that Hongdou bought.

Of course, this is all later. The official sale will not start until after the New Year. The most important thing today is to watch the fun.

Aoba's previous actions were very obvious. The cigar was clearly for Asuma, but he gave it to Hong. The bracelet was for Hong, but he gave it to Asuma.

Besides the fact that it was a bit inappropriate to give the red bracelet to Asuma in front of him, it was also meant to tease the couple.

Kakashi, Gai, and Red Bean all understood what Aoba was doing. They all looked at the couple with an expression of watching a show.

Asuma turned to look at Yuhi Kurenai and was about to say something when the bracelet in his hand was taken away and replaced with a cigar.

Asuma didn't care that his gift was different from the others. This guy was different from the others. He was the son of the third generation. Although he was against his father, he had no shortage of money and equipment.

Let's talk about his weapons, the pair of flying swallow blades, which are top-notch weapons made of chakra metal. Although they are not as good as divine weapons like Kusanagi sword, they are not much worse.

It's a pity that this guy's use of it is really average.

The party was very lively due to Qingye's leadership.

While Aoba was gathering with a few friends, a special party was also being held in the Uchiha clan's mansion.

The organizer is... Uchiha Sasuke.

Uchiha Sasuke felt that this was the most difficult day in his life. It was much more difficult than learning the Great Fireball Technique for the first time, learning Uchiha Shuriken Throwing for the first time, and learning to climb trees and walk on water for the first time.

He held a party at home and invited his classmates to attend. No matter how you look at it, this behavior has nothing to do with Uchiha Sasuke.

Being a proud and arrogant person, he rarely talked to his classmates on weekdays. To suddenly invite them to a party at home was as difficult as asking Uchiha Sasuke to kill Uchiha Itachi.

But now, Uchiha Sasuke is doing it. Because someone told him that if he can do this and stick to it, he will be taught a ninjutsu that is enough to kill Uchiha Itachi.

Uchiha Sasuke believed it, so he went ahead and did it.

In fact, the most nervous place in the entire Konoha Village was not Uchiha Sasuke, but the Hokage's office.

After learning that Uchiha Sasuke had invited a group of classmates, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately sent out the Anbu to monitor the matter.

Uchiha Sasuke is a very important character. It's not that he is important, but he is the string of Uchiha Itachi's kite. Once Uchiha Sasuke has problems, then Uchiha Itachi's good card will be completely useless.

Therefore, Konoha's attention to Uchiha Sasuke is beyond imagination. They pay attention to his every move and at the same time limit the growth of his strength.

That's right, Uchiha Sasuke's strength is under the strict control of Konoha. As for the reason, it can only be said that some people are too guilty.

However, compared to Uchiha Sasuke's growing strength, his current actions frightened Sarutobi Hiruzen more.

This kid actually started to build his own network. To Sarutobi Hiruzen, this was more frightening than Uchiha Sasuke suddenly awakening his Mangekyō.

So, the old man didn't go home at night. He squatted in front of the crystal ball, staring at the Uchiha mansion.

In the Uchiha mansion, Konoha's twelve young masters were all here. Although they were a little surprised by Uchiha Sasuke's invitation, they all showed up after asking their parents.

Moreover, many parents were very thoughtful and asked their children to bring a lot of snacks.

Preparing a party is very tedious. They expected that Uchiha Sasuke, as a child, might not be able to think too much. So, they prepared for him in advance.

Practice has also proved that Uchiha Sasuke is indeed not good at this.

"Hey Sasuke, I didn't expect your house to be so big. Aren't you scared living alone?"

Naruto is still as carefree as ever. In this world, his relationship with Sasuke is much better than in the original story.

Mainly, he peeked at Aoba while he was teaching. Later, Aoba allowed him to train with Naruto. The two got to know each other and became friends.

Well, although Sasuke disagreed verbally, he could tell from the fact that he brought two lunches from time to time that he actually cherished his friendship with Naruto. He was just a tsundere boy who would never admit defeat verbally.

"What's there to be afraid of? Even though there are wronged souls everywhere, they won't harm me."
