"What? I am the son of Fourth Hokage. So I am not a descendant of a hero? Wow wow wow... I am a descendant of a hero!!!"
Naruto shouted excitedly. Kakashi looked at him helplessly. None of the things he prepared in advance were used.
Originally, I wanted to explain that what happened to you was caused by the decisions of the previous generation. But in the end, Naruto, an idiot, didn't think about those problems at all. He was immersed in his new identity and couldn't extricate himself.
On the training ground, Aoba is sparring with Shirakumo Hayama and Gekko Hayate.
The arrival of Obito made Aoba a lot more urgent. He began to promote his plan more actively.
The first is to cultivate your own strength.
Now Aoba already has a very high say in Konoha. Although Tsunade doesn't really like him, he still trusts him in terms of leadership. He has a lot of real power in his hands.
But it is far from enough. What Aoba wants is to completely integrate the resources of the entire Konoha. This plan is too huge.
For several dead Hokage, it may not be acceptable for a while. The reason why he let Tsunade come on stage instead of directly doing Hokage himself.
It's because he needs time to transition. It takes time for the villagers of Konoha to adapt to the new era.
Shirakumo Hayama and Gekko Hayate are Konoha's few ninjas who use swords now. Aoba has given all his knowledge of swordsmanship over the years to these two.
At the same time, he would personally train with the two of them every once in a while. One was to help the two improve their strength, and the other was to conduct an assessment on the two.
Cultivating your own team is not a simple matter. Aoba requires not only combat effectiveness, but also loyalty and execution ability.
After a few rounds, Aoba had a clear understanding of the strength of the two.
"Okay, that's it for today. You each still have tasks, so don't consume too much chakra."
According to the standard of Aoba, both of them already have the combat power of Senior Jonin. However, according to Elite Jonin, there is still a slight gap.
Both of them have some talent, but they are not very strong.
And anyone who can become Elite Jonin is a genius, and must be extremely talented in at least one aspect.
To become Kage Level, there are higher requirements for talent, hard work, and background.
The most important goal of Aoba's reform is to break the control of ninja resources by the ninja clan. Cultivate more civilian ninjas and enrich Konoha's ninja team.
Ninja Academy has achieved quite good results so far. The level of Genin in Konoha has been raised to a higher level. But it is still far from enough.
These superficial improvements are just the beginning. For a large number of civilian ninjas, a few more Five Element Ninjutsus are not enough to break the ninja clan's monopoly.
The first step for Aoba is to integrate existing resources and promote a ninja system that has no bloodline requirements, can be practiced by everyone, and has a sufficient upper limit.
There is actually an example in this regard, that is Eight Gates of Guy. This thing is essentially very close to what Aoba needs.
But it's a pity that Eight Gates's qualification requirements are too high. Don't think that ninjas like Rock Lee who don't know ninjutsu can practice it. It proves that this thing does not need to rely on talent, just hard work.
In fact, the talent requirements for cultivating Eight Gates are higher than those for outsiders to control Sharingan. Just look at Kakashi and you will know.
As a rare genius of Konoha, in the later stage, he was even able to use Mangekyō Kamui. However, Eight Gates could only try it briefly.
Therefore, it is not that Eight Gates does not need talent. What it needs is a special high-level talent. Currently, among all Konoha, only Guy and Rock Lee have this talent.
Aoba has also tried it, even if he now has False Sage Body. But Eight Gates can only open to the fourth door at most.
It's not that the back can't be opened. But if he wants to open the four doors at the back, he needs a long time of practice and training. This process may take more than ten years. However, he doesn't have that much time.
Shinobi World Ninety-nine percent of ninjas don't have this kind of time.
Therefore, Aoba finally chose swordsmanship. This is a path that all ninjas can practice. However, it is not easy to reach the level of Elite Jonin in swordsmanship.
Currently Konoha, Shirakumo Hayama and Gekko Hayate are the two best swordsmen besides Aoba. However, their swordsmanship cannot meet Aoba's needs.
Especially Gekko Hayate and Dance of the Crescent Moon. This set of swordsmanship is actually very suitable for ninjas. Unfortunately, it is a bit difficult to practice.
Aoba combined the swordsmanship of the three people and developed a brand new swordsmanship. Of course, it is only a prototype at the moment. It needs to be continuously improved in the future.
But he has started to promote it in schools for free. At the same time, Nature Transformation's training method has also begun to be promoted in Advanced Ninja School.
It's not like no one realized what Aoba was doing. It's just that Aoba's identity and strength are not something ordinary ninjas can easily manipulate.
At the same time, what is more important is that the Hokage lineage is on the side of Aoba. At least that is the case with Tsunade.
Shikaku is from the ninja clan, but his vision is far beyond that of ordinary ninjas. He knows that there is only one way to stop Aoba now, and that is to kill Aoba.
They even had to kill Kakashi and even Tsunade. Because Tsunade was obviously very interested in Aoba's plan and gave him huge support.
But doing so would be tantamount to killing the wood industry. Therefore, Shikaku chose a smarter approach.
Bet in advance so that when change comes, their family can still take the initiative.
If Shikaku comes closer, Ino-Shika-Cho will no longer be a threat. However, Konoha still has many ninja villages.
After Aoba finished today's training, he returned home and saw a messenger from Hyuga.
"Aoba, please excuse me. My master has prepared a dinner. I hope you can enjoy it tonight."
Hyuga The messenger's attitude is very sincere, Aoba naturally will not deny face.
"I know. I will come on time."
The messenger of Hyuga retreated. Only Aoba was left holding the invitation thoughtfully.
He didn't expect that besides Ino-Shika-Cho, the first one to show kindness to him was Hyuga. Because Hyuga has always been known as the first wealthy family in Konoha. His attitude towards the outside world is actually very arrogant.
Aoba originally thought that Sarutobi or Shimura would come to the door first. He also made a plan for these two groups. But what he didn't expect was Hyuga.
But this is actually a good thing, because the influence of Hyuga is greater than that of Sarutobi Shimura families. If he can win Hyuga, his plan will definitely go smoother.
