Aoba's words sounded a bit pessimistic. But Tsunade was speechless because deep down in her heart, she actually agreed with Aoba's statement.
Human nature itself is such a fucked up thing.
And the fact is, even if Konoha didn't say anything, Iwagakure and Kumogakure were definitely aware of Madara Uchiha's existence. But they didn't make any reaction.
Aoba even has no doubt that if possible, they would try to contact Madara Uchiha and try to cooperate.
Whether it is Kumogakure or Iwagakure, they are all this kind of thing.
This is also the reason why Aoba never thought of using this matter to unite Shinobi World from the beginning. He knew it was simply impossible.
At least it is impossible until one hundred thousand White Zetsu Army appears.
Therefore, the best way is to destroy and annex other ninja villages. Since ancient times, if you want to achieve great unification, there is no other way except force.
In fact, both Kumogakure and Iwagakure were aware of Konoha's ambition.
Ōnoki came to Konoha personally to negotiate before, just to buy time. He promised many benefits for showing weakness.
But Konoha knows very well that the other party just wants to buy time.
"According to my information, after Ōnoki returned, he immediately secretly met with Raikage. We don't know the specific content of the meeting. But we can basically guess it. They should have more in-depth cooperation to fight against Konoha."
"It doesn't matter. Just let them practice. That way it can be solved at once and save time."
"But Iwagakure is basically at full status now, and Kumogakure's war potential is also extremely terrifying. We cannot underestimate them if they join forces."
"Believe me, they can't make a difference."
Although the two major ninja villages cooperate in depth, their strength on paper is indeed amazing.
But in Aoba's view, Fourth Raikage lost an arm. Eight-Tails Jinchuriki died. Kumogakure's most high-end combat power has been wiped out.
Although Iwagakure has a strong foundation, Ōnoki is old and has fallen into disrepair. Although Dust Release is dangerous, Flying Thunder God and Aoba can be manipulated at will.
The most important thing is that currently Konoha is hiding four Hokages. Among other things, Hashirama Senju's body was specially cultivated by Aoba.
At least he can exert 70 to 80% of his strength. This level of strength is enough to crush the current Shinobi World.
In fact, Konoha now has the power to sweep Shinobi World. It's just that most people don't know it.
The reason why Aoba did not choose to take action was because Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu reentered the dormant state.
The other is Nagato from Akatsuki.
The current power of Shinobi World is that Konoha and Sand Ninja are on the same side, Iwagakure and Kumogakure are on the same side, Black Zetsu and Kirigakure controlled by Madara are on the same side, and Akatsuki is on the other side.
It can be seen from the entire pattern that Shinobi World has entered the era of fighting between gods ahead of schedule. This is an extremely cruel fact for most of the ninjas in Shinobi World. That is, for the top ninjas of this era, the number of people is no longer a threat.
Aoba himself belongs to the group of people at the top of Shinobi World. But this is not the era he wants to see. Therefore, Black Zetsu and Madara entered a short period of dormancy, and he himself suppressed Konoha's actions.
In his opinion, whether it is Hashirama Senju or Madara Uchiha, his vision is limited by the times and information, and he looks too close.
In fact, the Shinobi World that is closest to the thinking of Aoba should be Otsutsuki Kaguya that is sealed on the moon.
After Kaguya stabbed Isshiki in the back, she knew something was wrong. What she wanted was not to escape, but to gather the power of Shinobi World to fight against Otsutsuki behind her.
It's just that what she wants is to gather the entire power of Shinobi World into herself. And Aoba wants to improve the overall strength of Shinobi World.
Because Eternal Eye underwent fusion surgery, Aoba is still recovering. I cannot test it myself, so I can only listen to Sakura's report.
"Second-Generation Chakra Cloak has begun in vivo experiments. It is expected that actual testing can be carried out within two months."
The first-generation Chakra Cloak technology was suppressed by the Aoba for quite some time. The main reason is that in this world where pedigrees are important, civilian ninjas cannot even catch the technology that hangs in front of their eyes.
In order to prevent further solidification of the class, Aoba suppressed the promotion of Chakra Cloak technology and restricted it to the laboratory.
If it hadn't been for the previous war, he wouldn't have wanted to announce this to the public until the second generation came out.
After a long period of experimental testing, he has basically figured out why Chakra Cloak cannot be effective on civilian ninjas.
If we want to explain this issue clearly, we must start with Kaguya.
Kaguya is the ancestor of chakra. Although it has not spread, the source is him. Later, Sage of Six Paths traveled around the world and founded Ninja Sect, which spread chakra to the whole world.
Therefore, all Shinobi World ninjas who can refine chakra are essentially descendants of Sage of Six Paths and even Kaguya.
The ninja clan was born in war. This is a very important point.
In the early Shinobi World war, countless ninjas fought in melee. A large number of ninjas and ninja clan were eliminated. The remaining ninja clan are the ninja clan we see now.
Most of these ninja clans have their own secret techniques, such as Kekkei Genkai. Of course, there are also ninja clans like Sarutobi Clan who seem to have no special characteristics.
But in fact, Aoba studied the bloodline genes of all the ninja clan Konoha. But the ninja clan that has been passed down to the present is genetically different from civilians and even ordinary ninjas.
In fact, all ninjas have a special commonality. At the genetic level, there is a tendency.
The source of this tendency cannot be seen, but it can be guessed. It must be Sage of Six Paths, or even Kaguya.
Aoba has a theory about this. He believes that all ninjas, and even all ninjas, are essentially descendants of Kaguya.
This kind of descendant is not necessarily produced from the biological level. It is caused from the chakra level. The chakra has a reverse influence on the genes, forming the current ninjas and the ninja clan.
Since they are descendants, they are far and near. Uchiha, Senju, Uzumaki, and Hyuga can be said to be direct descendants.
The other ninja clans are collateral lines. Even those ninja clans who have no secret skills and no Kekkei Genkai. The genes in their bodies are more oriented than ordinary people.
Although it is not very accurate, this tendency can be simply understood as the gene concentration of Otsutsuki. It is a tendency at the genetic level brought about by the reverse influence of chakra on the body.
While each ninja is refining chakra and practicing to strengthen himself, it will also have an impact on his own gene concentration.
This effect is so weak that it is almost impossible to detect. But Aoba had doubts from the beginning. After comparing hundreds of different samples and conducting thousands of tests, he still discovered this hidden phenomenon.
After discovering this phenomenon, Aoba locked himself in the laboratory for a day and night. After that, he returned to normal again and stopped researching on this phenomenon, as if nothing happened.
