Chapter 138 - Is This Natural Energy?

After chatting with Teuchi, Aoba roughly understood the situation of Uchiha’s clan in Konohagakure.

There was no need to think about it.

It must be that Danzo had a pillow talk with the Third Hokage.

As a result, Third Hokage and Konohagakure’s higher-ups decided to increase Uchiha’s clan’s Konoha Military Police Force’s law enforcement authority.

As such.

Regardless of whether it was Third Hokage or Konohagakure’s higher-ups.

All of them look at Danzo differently.

On the other side, Akaru was constantly looking for opportunities to attack Danzo, while on the other side, Danzo directly spoke up for Konoha Military Police Force.

What kind of operation was this!

It was simply noble and bright!

Konohagakure’s higher-ups should be like this, disregarding personal gains and losses emphasizing the overall situation!

Everyone should learn the outstanding qualities of Danzo-sama!

Wait a minute…

Aoba’s brain made up many remarks about the Third Hokage’s words of praise for Danzo when they held a meeting.

Of course.

These weren’t just empty imaginations.

But based on the many memories he had read, he knew that this was not the first time that the Third Hokage had done such a thing.

If Danzo had done something good, it would be a great compliment.

If Danzo had done something terrible, then the big thing would be reduced to a small matter, and he would try to settle the issue at the most nominal price.

The old bastard with a double standard!

Aoba didn’t need to think too much to know that the promotion of the Konoha Military Police Force in Uchiha’s clan was absolutely related to Danzo.

Perhaps from the current perspective.

Many people didn’t understand why Danzo would do this.

The matter of the conflict between Danzo and Uchiha’s clan was not a secret among Konohagakure’s higher-ups. Anyone who paid a little attention to it would know about this matter.

According to normal logic.

Danzo should use his own power to suppress Uchiha’s clan continuously.

However.

Not only did Danzo not do so, he even continuously spoke up for Konoha Military Police Force, helping Konoha Military Police Force increase its power.

This was…

Did he admit defeat?

The corners of Aoba’s mouth curled up slightly. As a person who knew about the future Uchiha’s genocide, it was very clear that Danzo was playing a big game of chess.

This was a person who really did great things and did vicious things!

They had to make him go crazy first if they wanted to kill him!

Danzo continuously increased the power of Uchiha’s clan. This was in itself a role to numb Uchiha’s clan. It made them think that Danzo was not deliberately targeting them.

This would allow the Uchiha clan to be complacent and gradually develop feelings of arrogance.

Gradually.

Konoha Military Police Force originally did not have a good reputation in the village.

It would cause people to complain even more.

As a result, they would gradually lose the hearts of the people.

Danzo did not personally end the Uchiha clan, but he used this method to destroy the Uchiha clan slowly.

This made Aoba think of an apologue.

Boil the frog in warm water!

(TL note: The boiling frog is an apologue describing a frog being slowly boiled alive. The premise is that if a frog is put suddenly into boiling water, it will jump out, but if the frog is put in tepid water which is then brought to a boil slowly, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death alive.)

As one of the few people who had seen through things, Aoba would not expose this matter.

He did not want to meddle in other people’s business.

Moreover.

He couldn’t care less about this matter.

Konoha Military Police Force was like the sun in the sky in the village and had an extremely high status. At this time, those proud Uchiha couldn’t listen to any unpleasant words at all.

If you tell the truth and point out the problem.

They won’t understand you at all. Instead, they would think that you were targeting them.

But if you compliment them vigorously and lick them.

On the contrary, they will treat you as their best friend!

This was the most typical reaction. No one could avoid it, let alone the Uchiha clan, who held the authority.

…

After Aoba returned to Anbu’s dormitory, he lay directly on his iron bed. After analyzing the matters of the Uchiha clan, he understood that the ninja world had entered a relatively vacuum period.

Whether it was Konohagakure or the other villages, they were all in a temporary state of tranquility.

This kind of tranquility completely presented the illusion of peace.

It was the calm before the storm.

After experiencing the baptism of war and stable development, all the villages had new ideas about the division of the current territory.

This unstable situation.

A fuse was needed.

Perhaps.

It won’t be long.

An unforeseen event will happen!

“If I remember correctly, the fuse for the Third Ninja World War was the disappearance of Sunagakure Third Kazekage, who instantly caused Sunagakure’s strength to tilt and made those forces stare at the territory of the Country of Wind unable to hold back the war footsteps.”

Aoba lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling. He was in this period of history and seemed to be like traveling outside of history.

“I wonder if there will be a new fuse after I come here?”

This thought appeared in Aoba’s mind for no reason. Even he did not know why, but he vaguely felt that something would happen ahead of time. However, this was just a hunch, and there were no signs for the time being.

Not long after.

Aoba stopped thinking about it.

He closed his eyes and fell asleep.

…

The next morning.

Aoba felt the impact of the information, which directly woke him up from his sleep state.

A thousand shadow clones returned.

These shadow clones fully excavated Tsunade’s memory, bringing a lot of precious experience and knowledge.

The books that Tsunade brought him were just the simplest and most basic medical theories.

Now, he had already finished reading all of them.

Normally speaking.

If he finished reading all the books in this section, he would need to look at some more profound books.

However.

Aoba felt that there was no need to do so.

Those medical books were all read by Tsunade.

He only needed to extract the knowledge from Tsunade’s memory constantly.

Besides.

As the best medical ninja in the ninja world.

Most of the medical theories that Tsunade grasped were not in books.

This was the most precious treasure!

Apart from that.

Through Tsunade’s memory, Aoba roughly understood why Tsunade taught him the Kochiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique) and Sōzō Saisei(Creation Rebirth).

The Kochiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique) needed blood to sign a contract. After suffering from hemophobia, she did not use the Kochiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique) again. This was ninjutsu that she was not willing to touch for the time being.

As for Sōzō Saisei(Creation Rebirth)…

Currently, Tsunade could not use it too freely, mainly because she did not have enough chakra reserves. She needed to use the yin seal to store chakra constantly.

If he used this method.

In the next few years, he would not be able to use Chakra.

Only after he filled the Yin Seal would he be able to use Ninjutsu like normal Ninjas.

This was one of the reasons why Tsunade chose to leave the village.

In the Second Ninja World War, her Yin Seal had been unlocked. When they met, there was no mark on Tsunade’s forehead.

If she continued to stay in the village.

There was no chance to reform the seal.

In the future, there might be all sorts of things to face.

Not only did Tsunade choose to leave Konohagakure, but she also needed to use this method to fill up the chakra in the seal so that she could always be in the state of being able to unlock a big move.

“Now it seems…”

“Sakura is still very talented!”

“When she stored chakra in Yin seal, she could still leave a small part for daily use.”

“Her chakra control is very strong!”

“I just don’t know if I still need to make a yin seal?”

Aoba silently thought in his heart. He already knew how to use the yin seal from Tsunade’s memory.

Thinking about it now, he felt that it was terrifying.

With Tsunade’s strength, she had to save up her Chakra every day to complete the yin seal, which would take two or three years.

What a huge amount of chakra!

However.

That terrifying chakra.

It was just to use Sōzō Saisei(Creation Rebirth).

“Forget it; I feel that there is no need for me to do this. It is easy to attract attention by leaving a mark. It is better to focus on developing my Sage Body. It is the right way to open this big move.”

After a simple analysis of Tsunade’s memory, Aoba immediately decided in his heart. He stretched, got up from the bed, changed into Anbu’s ninja clothes, put on his cat face mask, and walked out of Anbu’s dormitory.

After Aoba left Anbu’s dormitory, he ran straight into the woods behind the prison.

No one noticed him along the way.

When he reached the depths of the woods and found a good position, he immediately made a hand seal.

“Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique)!”

Aoba immediately used Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique). A thousand shadow clones appeared in front of him. They began to divide into groups skillfully. In the end, they were covered up by a piece of paper. They looked very natural and almost could not be found.

Now, these shadow clones began to divide the work.

A part of them learned the medical knowledge in Tsunade’s memory.

A part of them analyzed the mission experience in Sakumo’s memory.

A part of them studied Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) in Sakumo’s memory.

The last part was trying to draw an explosive tag.

Because of Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique), the cheating training device, Aoba could completely do multi-line research.

He would sow seeds every morning and gain experience the next day.

There was no need for his main body to do anything else. He could still go to Konohagakure Intelligence Division to do his daily work, read memories, and gain some benefits.

Gradually.

Aoba’s training was on the right track.

He only needed to maintain this state, and it would not be long before he could make up for his cautiousness in the early stage of the Ninja World without training.

After sowing these one thousand shadow clones, Aoba walked in the Konohagakure prison direction.

Along with the morning sunlight shining through the gaps between the trees and leaves on his body, his whole body seemed to be breathing, and he was able to feel the energy of nature fully.

In an instant.

Aoba clearly felt that the chakra within his body that had been weakened by a thousand times was recovering at a terrifying speed.

“What… what’s going on?”

Aoba was obviously stunned for a moment. He had experienced rapid chakra recovery before, but he didn’t care too much about it, and it was far less outstanding than this time.

“Is this natural energy?”

Aoba carefully thought for a moment and immediately thought of Sage Mode.

Sage Mode can absorb natural energy and convert the chakra in the body into Sage chakra, which will allow the user strength to be improved in all aspects.

“I want to study this carefully. I remember that the Sage of the Six Path learned Sage Mode from the Great Toad Sage. I also have Sage Body. It should not be so difficult to learn and use Sage Mode. But I don’t have any direction right now, so I don’t know where to start… “

Aoba pinched his chin and thought.

The Sage of the Six Path did not learn it by himself out of thin air. The Great Toad Sage taught it.

It was not that simple to practice the Sage Mode.

If he was even a little careless.

Perhaps there would be an accident.

For this.

Aoba was still very cautious.

He had always held on to the idea of slow farming and wretched development. He would rather learn a little slower. This was fine. He had plenty of time.

But he must be steady!

The more anxious he was.

The easier it was to make mistakes.

…

While he was thinking.

Aoba had already returned to Konohagakure prison. He walked down the entrance and headed in the direction of the Konohagakure Intelligence Division.
