Naruto: The Strongest Sage.

The New Year of Konoha finally arrived, and the whole of Konoha was filled with a joyful atmosphere. After all, this year was another year of peace without war.

Karin had a rare vacation and started to have fun with her friends.

But Aoba actually knew that although Karin said she was out playing, she often went to Naruto's place to bring him some delicious food.

Perhaps because she had experienced the life of being displaced with her mother, Karin was very concerned about this fellow tribesman from Konoha. She often found various excuses to bring him some delicious food.

In fact, even if she asked directly, Aoba and Yumi would not refuse. It's just that the little girl may regard this as an interesting ninja game. She often steals food for Naruto under Aoba's nose. Aoba pretends not to see it, and Yumi often turns a blind eye after knowing that there is such a fan.

"Come to think of it, I knew Kushina back then. But she was the little princess of the Uzumaki clan, and I was just a commoner. We didn't have much in common. From what I remember, she was a very cheerful and kind girl."

"Yes, everyone in Konoha thinks Kushina is a very good person. It's a pity that good people in this world don't always get rewarded."

"Kushina...how did she die?"

Yumi suddenly asked this question, which made Aoba look at her in awe.

"I'm not a ninja. But if possible, I'd like to do something for our Uzumaki clan. I've heard that the child named Naruto is not living well in the village.

But I don’t understand, isn’t he the child of Kushina and the previous Hokage? Why is he…”

"This is a very complicated question. It basically represents the darkest and dirtiest side of Konoha. The kind that cannot be washed away by any excuse."

"Really?" Yumi was silent for a while, then suddenly said.

"What would happen if the primary cell fusion experiment you mentioned was successful?"

"It will make me very powerful. Strong vitality, huge chakra, and I may even be able to awaken the first generation's Wood Release Bloodline Limit."

"So, if you succeed, it will make you very powerful?"

"Yes."

"Then I can do it too."

Aoba finally understood what Yumi meant.

"Do you want to be a ninja?"

"Yes, although I'm a little old. But if possible, I hope to become a ninja."

"why?"

Aoba was a little hesitant, because before this, Yumi had not shown this tendency. She seemed to be very satisfied with her current life, as if all she needed to do was watch Karin grow up healthily. But now...

"I just saw and thought a lot during these days in Konoha. This world is not safe, even in Konoha. You are already so powerful. But you still practice desperately every day and conduct such dangerous experiments.

Although you didn't say anything, I can sense that you are worried about something. Will we face some kind of danger in the future?"

Yumi's sharp insight made Qingye stunned for a while. He thought about it and did not hide it.

"Yes, in the future, we will experience some great danger. With my current strength, it is far from enough to protect myself, let alone you."

"Really? Is that why you train Karin so harshly?"

"That's right. Karin has enormous potential, and I need her to develop it as quickly as possible. Only then will we have a chance of winning in the future."

To be honest, even if Qingye is a time traveler, in this world, without bloodline or cheats, he will still feel anxious about the future.

Those enemies hiding in the dark, Uchiha Obito, Nagato, Uchiha Madara, even Black Zetsu, Otsutsuki Kaguya, and those guys on the moon.

Each of these enemies is extremely powerful. Obito has the strongest Mangekyō in the entire story. Nagato is not a bad person, but he is an idealist. This thing is, in a sense, more dangerous than evil.

Uchiha Madara, the most charming villain in Naruto, gave Aoba a strong sense of oppression. Now that Aoba can fight with the Raikage, he is already a great master in everyone's mind.

But he knew clearly that in the later period, Uchiha Madara beat the five Kage together by himself. That kind of oppressive feeling and the all-round and invincible combat power of Ninja Body Illusion made all those who faced him despair.

The most important thing is that he hadn't gotten his Samsara Eye back at that time. When he got it back and achieved the Six Paths Body, Qingye didn't even want to think about that scene.

As for Kaguya Ōtsutsuki who came later, Aoba didn't even consider the issue of that clan for the time being.

Thinking about the future of this world, he could only say that he was still a long way from where he was now. Too far.

"Let me help you? Teach me to be a ninja." Yumi said firmly.

"It's not impossible. But not now. Your body is overdrawn too much. And extracting chakra will overdraw your body again. If that happens, you won't be able to wait for anything and will die."

"Then let me start accepting that kind of experiment. Didn't you say that the physique of our Uzumaki clan would have a higher success rate?"

"That's right. According to my research, the Uzumaki clan and the Senju clan are probably close relatives. The possibility of your cells fusion is indeed very high. But as you can see, the experiment has not been successful yet.

How about this, you start learning the theory first. In addition to fighting, there is actually another type of ninja, the medical ninja. And to become a medical ninja, you need a lot of theoretical knowledge. After all, not all injuries and diseases can be treated with chakra. "

"Medical ninja? I see. Give me the information and I'll get started."

Yumi was very serious, so Qingye would naturally agree. But after thinking about it, he still spoke.

"Yumi, you can learn these things. But I want you to promise me one thing. Never use your special physique to save others. Really, not even once. Human hearts..."

"I know that human hearts are terrible. Once I open a gap, it will be irreversible. I understand what you mean, Qingye. But I refuse."

"you......"

"Listen to me, I won't let anyone bite my body. But you are an exception. Aoba, Karin and I can be your assistants. Even if I can't become a ninja. But I hope I can still help you. Please don't refuse, this is one of the few things I can do for you."

"...Mom, Mom..." Karin's voice interrupted the two.

"Hey, what are you two doing?"

"..."
