Naruto: The Strongest Sage

The battle was a big success.

After the alliance between Sand Village and Konoha, the entire ninja world entered a state of high alert.

Especially Sand Village and Kumogakure. These two places were the most nervous because of their own bad intentions.

According to their intelligence, although the war caused Konoha to suffer heavy damage. But it was not to the extent of breaking bones.

Moreover, after the war, Sand Village gave a large amount of compensation. At the same time, the two sides also signed a military mutual assistance treaty.

This made the other two villages even more nervous. They even stopped the idea of ​​tripping each other up and made every effort to guard against Konoha's counterattack.

They knew one thing very well. Tsunade was different from Sarutobi Hiruzen. This woman had a hot temper and her ambition was not comparable to Sarutobi Hiruzen. Her promotion is not a good thing for the surrounding ninja villages.

But the failure of the Raikage last time made Kumogakure and Iwagakure dare not act rashly.

The bounty of Kamikawa Aoba of Konoha has reached 200 million taels in the gold exchange. But so far no one has been able to get it. Even few people dare to take it.

I don’t know anything else. The last time the Raikage fought with him, he not only lost an arm. He also directly buried hundreds of elites. It is said that his trusted subordinate Xi died in that battle.

And after that battle, Konoha also made a decision that the entire ninja world could not believe.

They collected the bodies of all the Kumogakure ninjas, and then exchanged those with bounties on the gold exchange for money.

This operation completely subverted the image of Konoha as a good old man during the reign of Sarutobi Hiruzen. He put on an arrogant and domineering attitude.

Although Konoha has been the boss for many years, it is not that he has not been domineering. But in the late period of Sarutobi Hiruzen’s rule. He already looked like a good guy through and through.

But that operation directly deterred all the surrounding forces that were ready to make a move. Konoha may have declined, but that was relative to the previous Konoha. They are still the strongest force in the ninja world.

Of course, the most important feedback from this incident is that Kumogakure acted as a "good guy". They didn't say a word about their provocation to Konoha.

There was no way, the Raikage knew it very well. This time, Kamikawa Aoba didn't take any shortcuts. The opponent defeated him head-on.

From tactics to strength, he had absolutely suppressed himself. The broken left arm caused him to suffer a heavy blow.

If it weren't for the two Jinchuriki in Kumogakure, Ohnoki might have come to Kumogakure to make money.

Although the Raikage was reckless, he was not stupid. He knew that Konoha couldn't bite it for the time being. And it's not just a matter of not being able to bite it. After Tsunade came to power, Konoha's ruling style had obviously changed dramatically. He now needs to beware of Konoha's revenge.

Not only him, Ohnoki also had the same idea. Both ninja villages were on full alert. But in the end, nothing came.

There was no revenge, nor any foreign policy. Although Konoha's style changed greatly under Tsunade's rule, it had no intention of expanding outward.

On the contrary, Konoha entered a state of focusing on development and construction.

..............

Konoha Research Institute.

This is a new department established in Konoha in recent months. Kamikawa Aoba, one of the Hokage's assistants, serves as the deputy director here, and the Hokage himself is the nominal director.

In fact, scientific research is unfamiliar to most people in the ninja world. Even most ninjas can't get involved.

This is caused by the lack of cultural education in the ninja world.

Look at their cultural courses in the Chunin exam. The requirement is to examine cheating methods.

For a ninja, this is understandable. After all, this is a means of collecting intelligence. But under this education system, it is impossible to produce the scientific researchers that Aoba wants.

In this entire class, there is only one Haruno Sakura, who is qualified. The rest are trained as war weapons.

In fact, only the children of a very small number of big families can receive enough cultural education. It is already very difficult for civilian ninjas to learn the courses of ninja schools.

If Orochimaru was not a disciple of the Third Hokage, he would never have achieved his current achievements. In this era, you can't research all kinds of forbidden techniques out of thin air.

Even the Senju Tobirama did not create all kinds of ninjutsu out of thin air. Don't forget that they have experienced the Warring States Period.

The Senju family has destroyed countless ninja villages and clans. They have accumulated countless different ninjutsu materials.

Senju Tobirama is in the situation of integrating countless different materials

Only by doing so can one make up for his own deficiencies and then create his own forbidden techniques.

Ordinary people can never access these resources. Orochimaru can only get more information after becoming a disciple of the Hokage, complete his original knowledge reserves, and lay the foundation for his later development of forbidden techniques.

Similar information is also available in those big families. However, civilian ninjas who want to learn the Five Elements Ninjutsu have to exchange points for tasks.

Don't even think about these materials.

Therefore, after getting the support of Tsunade, Aoba made a lot of reforms to Konoha.

Reform is never an easy thing. However, the resistance Aoba encountered was not as great as imagined.

First of all, Konoha is very rich.

The Land of Fire occupies the best land on this continent, and Konoha is at the core of the main transportation route. Various task commissions, as well as various resources controlled by Konoha. Can bring a steady stream of cash flow to Konoha.

With money, many obstacles are no longer obstacles.

Secondly, Aoba is very strong. As the first master of Konoha. That's right, now most of Konoha's ninjas believe that Kamikawa Aoba is already the strongest ninja in Konoha.

Even Tsunade, the Hokage, may not be his opponent.

Of course, Tsunade's position in Konoha is unshakable. Again, as the strongest medical ninja in Konoha. In the previous war, the accumulated connections were too strong. Coupled with the advantage of her identity, the position of Hokage is as stable as Mount Tai.

And this Hokage, who is as stable as Mount Tai, is a supporter of Kamikawa Aoba, which makes it easier for Aoba to advance various plans.

In fact, the first new department created by Aoba was not the Konoha Research Institute. It was a school that taught cultural courses.

Not everyone has the qualifications to be a ninja. It can even be said that only a few can become ninjas. Most people in this world can only be ordinary people. And ordinary people theoretically have no chance to go to school.

These children are the source of Aoba's students.

At the same time, Konoha has a large number of students who cannot graduate every year. Most of them will return to school to repeat their studies. But there are also many students with particularly poor qualifications who will choose to leave school. After all, going to school is also a burden for ordinary families.

Kamikawa Aoba sorted out a group of children who could not become ninjas, and then arranged a series of assessments.

That's right, he did not teach without distinction. Instead, he screened them from the beginning.

This is a very helpless fact. That is, the cultural school implements a free system. Although Konoha is rich, it cannot support all children to go to school for free.

Aoba's ultimate goal is universal education. But this can only be a long-term goal. The current political, economic, and cultural comprehensive environment of the entire ninja world does not support this operation.

Therefore, he can only screen in advance. Select the best children and enter the cultural school.

These children actually cannot play any role in a short period of time. But they are the cornerstone of Aoba's change of the world.
