Orochimaru once thought he had found the secret of Aoba.
Why could the other party suddenly become stronger and why could he know so many secrets? That's because Aoba Kamikawa received the inheritance of Sage of Six Paths.
But Aoba's answer is completely the opposite.
Orochimaru was silent for a long time, and then the body with Sasuke's face began to slowly disappear.
"Although there are a lot of things that are still unclear. But I roughly understand what you are doing. I have to say, Mr. Aoba, you are really so different. Compared with you, my pursuit seems a bit insignificant.
But it doesn't matter, it's because of people like you that this world is more interesting to me. It's really interesting, hahahaha."
After a burst of standard Orochimaru laughter, the last sentence of Orochimaru came.
"Tell Sasuke that this is my gift to him."
Sasuke felt like he had a dream. The content in the dream was huge and complicated, and it felt both strange and familiar.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Aoba Sakura and Karin standing by the window.
"Teacher Aoba, what's wrong with me?"
"Feel it for yourself, you should be able to feel it now."
Sasuke closed his eyes after listening and felt his body. There was nothing wrong with his body, and there was no discomfort. On the contrary, he could feel that the chakra in his body had increased.
You can even feel that the previous Cursed Seal chakra has been integrated with your own chakra, making your chakra become extremely powerful.
And that's not all. The biggest change in me is that I have a lot more skills in my mind. Ninjutsu, forbidden arts, swordsmanship, and even combat experience, etc.
"What happened? I feel like I'm different."
"It is indeed different. Cursed Seal's power has been completely integrated with you. And there is no need to worry about Cursed Seal's backlash."
"Why? I don't remember defeating Orochimaru."
"Yes, there was no battle. He gave up part of his spirit and skills to help you."
"You fulfilled me? Why?"
"Haha, you can probably understand it as an early investment."
The skills Orochimaru sealed in Sasuke's body were from the Chunin Ninja Exams period. The combat experience and various ninjutsu were also from that time.
According to the standards of Aoba, it is not very strong. And it is impossible for Sasuke to fully accept it. But after all, he is one of the famous Sannin of that era. A real master of Kage Level.
Even if Sasuke can only receive about half of it, it is definitely enough for him to digest.
There is nothing wrong with Sasuke's talent. What he lacks is time and experience. Now Orochimaru has given him the key link of experience. There will basically be no bottlenecks in his growth in the future.
After checking his own changes, Sasuke was silent for a while, and then he spoke about a situation that surprised Aoba as well.
"Teacher Aoba, I feel like my Sharingan is about to awaken."
"Awakening?"
Aoba was stunned for a moment, and then thought of Orochimaru's gift. After merging with Cursed Seal, Sasuke's body and spirit have been greatly improved.
This may have had an impact on his physical self-perception.
According to Aoba's judgment, the reason why Sharingan of Sasuke cannot awaken Mangekyō. is the body's self-protection, because The awakening of Mangekyō is too heavy a burden on the body. As the reincarnation of Indra, Otsutsuki Genes is stronger. The body's self-regulation ability is stronger. It automatically suppresses the awakening of Mangekyō.
But now, after improving my physical fitness, this inhibition seems to be released.
"This should be a normal phenomenon. But to be on the safe side, you will live in the laboratory during this period and let Sakura monitor your body changes at any time."
"I understand. Sorry to trouble you, Sakura."
Aoba nodded, then handed over the time to a few young people, and left the laboratory.
The news came from Hokage's Office, and Aoba rushed over to attend the meeting.
At this time, the number of Konoha and Hokage is quite large. However, the four resurrected Hokage are quite sensible. By default, they will not interfere in the high-level meeting of Konoha.
Currently, the second generation Tobirama Senju has gone to the research institute and is responsible for the research, development and decryption of Black Zetsu's body. The fourth generation Minato Namikaze has gone to teach his son Naruto.
Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi was incorporated into ANBU's secret team and began to go out to perform tasks. As for Hashirama Senju, this one is one of Konoha's trump cards.
Aoba's requirement for Hashirama is that one of him and Hashirama must always stay at Konoha. This is to prevent Konoha from the possibility of crisis.
Because whether it's Madara, Konoha, or Nagato really comes. If Aoba is not here, only Hashirama can deal with it.
Even though Hashirama is not a complete body, it has 70% to 80% strength, which is enough to deal with any enemy in this time period.
Conference room, Tsunade, Kakashi, Shikaku, and Hiashi are already waiting.
"Now that everyone is here, let's start the meeting now." Tsunade said, throwing a document to Aoba.
"This is the news from ANBU. You should take a look first."
Aoba took the file and opened it for reading. After a few minutes, he put down the file in his hand.
"The content of the file is very simple. Kumogakure was attacked by Akatsuki."
The current Kumogakure can be said to be at its weakest after Third Shinobi World War. Raikage was disabled, Eight-Tails died in battle, and a large number of elites were lost in the previous battle with Konoha. The entire Ninja Village was seriously damaged.
Kumogakure knew that he was weak, so he tried his best to keep a low profile. But unexpectedly, he was still targeted by Akatsuki.
Under normal circumstances, Akatsuki would not list Kumogakure as a target so early. Just like the previous test of Hiruko targeted Sand Ninja.
But now, it is clear that he is going to bully the lost dog.
"A war between Akatsuki and Kumogakure seems to be completely in line with our Konoha interests. And the intelligence shows that Akatsuki has only conducted a test and has not actually started a war. What are we anxious about?"
"It's not us, it's the Daimyo." Tsunade opened his mouth and gave an explanation. At the same time, he handed over another document.
"This is the official order document issued by Land of Fire to us. It requires us to assist Kumogakure and destroy Akatsuki."
Aoba glanced at the document and threw it on the table.
"Has Land of Fire's daimyo been kicked in the head? Land of Lightning and Land of Fire have a hostile relationship, so we are asked to help the enemy?"
"The order seems unreasonable, but if you think about it deeply, it is actually not impossible. I think the daimyo of Land of Fire may be conducting a test on us. Many of Konoha's previous actions ignored or even violated the daimyo's orders.
They should have noticed something. That's why they issued this order to test our obedience."
Shikaku's analysis is still very reasonable. Aoba took the document, read it again, and then threw it away.
"To be honest, if they hadn't done this, I would have almost forgotten that there was such a group of guys. But now that they have jumped out, let's solve this problem first. After all, in order to fight against the outside world, we must first settle down the inside."
