It's not just Konoha that has changed, but everyone at Konoha.
Even Tsunade, who had always been lazy, felt the pressure and began to turn inward. Aoba knew that the era he wanted was coming soon.
Of course, it's not just Konoha that has changed. Kirigakure is also undergoing huge changes quietly.
Taking advantage of Kumogakure being leaderless, Madara Uchiha annexed Kumogakure.
I have to say here that Aoba Kamikawa's actions against the daimyo are a good start for the major ninja villages.
At present, although they have not publicly announced their separation from the daimyo, it is obvious that the major ninja villages have refused to listen to the announcement. The daimyo's rule over the ninja villages has existed in name only.
Among them, Kirigakure was the most direct. After Madara Uchiha took control of Kirigakure, under the stimulation of Konoha, he directly killed all Land of Water's names and forcibly took over all the power of Land of Water.
But this is just the beginning. Because I have seen the power of Konoha's new generation of ninja troops. Although Madara Uchiha does not think that those stereotyped ninjutsu armies can pose any threat to themselves.
But it can also be felt that the ninja army of Kirigakure is far inferior to Konoha.
Madara Uchiha failed to take advantage of Aoba several times. This made him eager to win. Not only did he want to defeat Aoba in terms of personal force, but he also wanted to build Kirigakure into a powerful ninja village that surpassed Konoha.
In this way, after annexing Kumogakure, he immediately went to the scene personally and carefully selected from the large amount of loot.
Then he personally trained them. It took him more than half a year to train and train an elite ninja army.
It's just that the civil strife before Kirigakure really damaged our vitality. It's impossible for an elite ninja army to sustain it alone.
Therefore, he backhandedly destroyed the Daimyo and completely controlled Land of Water. Then he mobilized the entire resources of Land of Water, selected outstanding seedlings, and started cultivating them from scratch.
Although Madara Uchiha is proud, he is not completely ignorant of the facts. He knows one thing very well, that is, if a ninja village wants to be strong, talent is the most important thing.
Kirigakure lost too many talents before, and now he wants to make up for this loophole.
This is not a simple matter. Fortunately, Naruto World's children mature early. They start killing people at the age of seven or eight and become famous in their teens.
Therefore, in theory, a group of mid-level combat forces can be trained in three to five years.
But Konoha cannot rely on this alone. And training new people requires a lot of resources. So Madara Uchiha also followed Konoha and took all the various minerals within the scope of Kumogakure and Kirigakure into the ownership of Kirigakure.
Then make money by mining in various ways and work hard to build Kirigakure.
But after all this came to light, Madara Uchiha realized a key problem. That is, reviving a large ninja village is much more difficult than fighting Hashirama Senju.
Back then, in order to face Hashirama Senju, he made countless preparations in advance and thought of at least dozens of various tactical countermeasures.
But now he discovered that the construction of a ninja village was a hundred times and a thousand times more complicated than the most difficult battle he had ever encountered.
Every day, he is troubled by countless uncomfortable little things that seem trivial to him, but are difficult to deal with and make people stuck.
This left him no time to improve himself.
There are naturally other Sharingans in Madara's hands. Although there is no Mangekyō, there is also Three Tomoe that has been developed to the extreme.
It's just that it's not your own eyes, and it's not an easy thing to reactivate it as Mangekyō.
Sometimes Madara Uchiha can't help but think about how Aoba Kamikawa managed to improve itself and keep pace with the development of the village.
Konoha and Aoba actually face similar problems.
Fortunately, Konoha has many people who can help him, so that his work will not be as difficult as Madara's.
But Aoba is not without its worries.
So far, his Eternal Eye fusion is still as slow as ever. The key is, he doesn't know what the reason is.
He checked himself countless times. The final result was that everything was normal. The completion of Eternal Eye was in progress. The only problem was that the speed was unbearably slow.
He knew that Sasuke in the original plot did not take three months at most. But it had already been half a year and he hadn't even completed 10% of the progress.
He knew very well that that guy must have done something wrong. But he didn't understand that the other party blocked his Eternal Eye fusion without having any direct contact with him.
Now Aoba has transferred his practice to the fusion of Tailed Beast Chakra.
Now he already has the chakras of One-Tail and Eight-Tails in his body. As long as he wants, he can get more Tailed Beast Chakra at any time.
But he has not done so for the time being. The main reason is that it is not easy to completely master the chakra of Tailed Beast.
After this period of training, he has been able to successfully mobilize the Eight-Tails and One-Tail chakra in his body for fighting.
But they still don't belong to themselves.
To put it simply, these two kinds of chakra are like two independent power furnaces in his body.
It's under his control, but it's essentially external. It doesn't exactly match his body.
The goal of Aoba has not been to become a brand new Ten-Tails Jinchuriki. It is to become Ten-Tails itself.
Therefore, he needs to integrate the chakra of Tailed Beast with his own. In his expectation, this process should be much more difficult than the fusion of Eternal Eye.
But in fact, the fusion of Eternal Eye was stuck. But the fusion of Tailed Beast Chakra was actually smoother than expected.
The One-Tail chakra that was first obtained, after a long period of absorption and refining, has gradually begun to integrate with his body.
Of course, this does not make Aoba really become Tailed Beast. In fact, the Tailed Beast brand carried by Tailed Beast Chakra has long been worn away by Aoba. What is left is pure original chakra.
Theoretically, Aoba can shape it into any form. However, he is a human and has no special hobby for transforming into a monster.
As the last trace of One-Tail's chakra completely merged with Aoba's body, Aoba Kamikawa felt some subtle changes taking place in his body.
But Aoba doesn't have time to experience those changes for the time being. All his attention is now attracted by another thing.
That is, after he completely fused the One-Tail chakra, his Eternal Eye fusion progress seemed to speed up a bit.
"Hmm!!"
