Negotiations with Sand Ninja are Konoha's top priority. However, Aoba has not been specifically involved in this matter.
He has pointed out the general direction, and Shikaku can do the rest. In fact, he himself is not good at this kind of thing.
He is able to give broad directions because he received some basic education in his previous life. But it is a bit difficult for him to participate in specific details. This requires extremely high professionalism and the support of various data. Aoba does not have the reserves in this area.
Shikaku Nara is fully capable of this. However, he was assisting Third Hokage in the past. His ability to govern completely wasted the period when Konoha was most powerful.
Now, with the addition of Aoba, Kakashi, and Tsunade. In a sense, Shikaku can be said to have really begun to exert his ability as the first think tank of Konoha.
The Ninja Village of Sand Ninja is actually very special. Because among Five Great Villages, Sand Ninja has the weakest overall strength.
However, the other major ninja villages don't covet Sand Ninja much. The biggest reason is that Sand Ninja basically has no resources.
There are deserts everywhere, lack of supplies, and economic poverty. There is no use in conquering a place like this.
Look at Kumogakure and Iwagakure, why are you staring at Konoha? Because Land of Fire occupies the best land on this continent.
It is rich in products and has a large population. If it can be conquered, it will be a direct wave of fertilizer, and it is possible to dominate Shinobi World.
However, in such a barren land, Sand Ninja is still able to stick to its position as Five Great Ninja Villages. In fact, Aoba admires this very much.
Apart from anything else, if the third generation is allowed to take charge of Sand Ninja, Sand Ninja will be sold out by him within twenty years.
And he has been in charge of Konoha for more than 30 years, and Konoha is still the boss. It can be seen how strong Konoha's foundation is.
However, Sand Ninja, one of Five Great Villages who has been working for many years, still has some background. It depends on how much meat Shikaku can bite off Sand Ninja during the negotiation.
In the laboratory, Aoba is facing a pair of Sharingan with the help of instruments.
This is one pair of the ten Sharingan, from the same person. Aoba was not transplanted to the body to make Revival Coin. Mainly because it felt too wasteful.
What he hopes more is to use these Sharingan to find out the secret behind Sharingan Ocular Power.
However, after a lot of experiments and analysis, he found that it was impossible to thoroughly understand the power of Ocular Power by relying solely on biological testing or even research on the chakra level.
Because the most critical part of Ocular Power is the mental stimulation. But Mental Power cannot be directly studied at present.
At least until I got Yamanaka's secret technique, there was no possibility of going deeper. But Aoba thought of another possibility.
At this time, the pair of Sharingan he faced was being activated.
This is also one of the most magical things about Sharingan. Even if it leaves the body, it can still be successfully activated.
In the plot, Itachi Uchiha once transplanted Shisui's eyes into Crow.
But now, Aoba's approach is even more thorough. He directly uses instruments and chakra to link this Sharingan, and then activates Sharingan in its independent state.
Then, Aoba closed his own Mangekyō and looked at this Sharingan with his normal eyes.
This is a very incredible operation, because the essence of Aoba's approach is to use the pair of Sharingan to attack itself.
He previously tried to use Mental Power to connect to the pair of Sharingan. But it didn't work.
In fact, even with Sharingan in his own right eye, he is currently unable to achieve a complete spiritual link. This is also the real reason why the transplanter of Sharingan cannot completely control Sharingan.
This thing is not the real thing, and there is always some kind of spiritual barrier.
In order to break this barrier, Aoba tried his best, but it was of no use. He even felt that even Yamanaka Clan's secret technique would not have much effect.
Because Yamanaka Clan's secret technique targets the opponent's brain. Aoba can't imagine what it would be like to release Mind Transfer Technique on a pair of eyes soaked in nutrient solution!
But after countless experiments, and after having Sharingan himself, Aoba actually found a way to create a spiritual connection with these Sharingan.
That is being attacked by the opponent.
Yes, when Sharingan uses Genjutsu to attack the enemy, there will be a certain amount of spiritual interference and linkage.
Aoba didn't understand it before, thinking that Genjutsu of Sharingan was a pure application of Yin Release Chakra. It wasn't until I became proficient in using Sharingan that I realized the subtleties.
The main reason is that Sharingan is not his own. Whether it is manipulation or perception, there is a slight gap. Even if Aoba has the assistance of Hashirama Cells, this gap cannot be completely eliminated.
But when being attacked by Sharingan, the spirit will create a spiritual link.
This is also the fundamental reason why Sharingan Genjutsu is powerful.
Genjutsu itself uses chakra to create illusions on the levels of sound and vision. What goes deeper is to interfere with the other party's spirit, causing the other party to fall into hallucinations or fall into a deep sleep.
Sharingan and Genjutsu are a higher level.
Kakashi used Hell Viewing Technique to attack the opponent's spirit and trigger fear deep in the opponent's heart.
But look at Itachi Uchiha's Genjutsu. Not only does it attack the opponent's spirit, it can even create a Mindscape to trap the opponent.
Then there is the most critical point, he himself can interfere in the world at will.
This level of Genjutsu actually involves continuous interference on the spiritual level.
Other Genjutsu usually interfere once unexpectedly. But Genjutsu of Sharingan can interfere continuously.
Aoba completed the current experiment based on this principle.
He used his own chakra and cooperated with the laboratory equipment to activate Sharingan in front of him, and then released a continuous Genjutsu on himself.
Sharingan naturally cannot have consciousness. But Ocular Power of Sharingan contains a unique form of spiritual energy. In this way, Mental Power of Aoba is connected to Ocular Power of Sharingan.
Following the procedure of Genjutsu, the user of Sharingan should be next, ravaging Aoba in Mindscape.
But again, Sharingan has Mental Power. But there is no complete consciousness to control it. Therefore, although Aoba is pulled into Mindscape, the ruler of this world is Aoba.
In this way, Aoba can touch the Mental Power of this pair of Sharingan more deeply than ever before, and then extend to Ocular Power including Mental Power.
