"These people are..."

Aoba couldn't help but take a deep breath. He stood on the wall next to the stone door and checked the memories of these people.

"Sunagakure's ninja!"

Aoba felt that the matter here was getting closer and closer to his guess in his heart.

"Moreover, it's Sunagakure ninja who is well versed in the puppet technique!"

Aoba took a deep breath. According to the memories of these Sunagakure ninjas, he discovered many extraordinary things.

There were a total of seven people here. Originally, it was a team of nine people. There were two more people among them, but their bodies were not here.

In fact, they were not dead. The other two people were this team's leader and the pioneer of Sunagakure's Puppet Technique.

Chiyo and Ebizo.

These people started learning puppet techniques from the Second Kazekage Shamon when Sunagakure was established.

Through their memories, it can be seen that Chiyo at that time was about the same age as Aoba now and was still in the prime of her life.

To use a classic phrase to describe...

It was still very moist!

The time of death of these corpses had to be traced back to about 25 years ago.

At that time, the First Hokage passed away, and Senju Tobirama became the Second Hokage of Konohagakure.

Shamon, at that time, also became the Second Kazekage of Sunagakure.

The corpses lying here now,

They were the first batch of Puppet Masters that Shamon had nurtured, and they were even existences that were entrusted with great responsibility.

Aoba was immersed in their memories, and it was as if he had become a student of the Second Kazekage Shamon through their perspective. He had received many teachings regarding puppet techniques and thoughts.

"This Second Kazekage looks quite something!"

When Aoba looked at the memories, he couldn't help but complain about the green dragon tattoo on the bald head of this Kazekage.

Shamon looks very rough. However, his heart was very meticulous. He also had strong foresight and the ability to judge the situation.

Before he inherited the position of Kazekage, he had started to study the puppet technique. He could also be said to be the founder of the puppet technique in Sunagakure.

The group of people lying here now we're Shamon proudest students. They were also the strongest main force that had invaded the Country of Fire and attacked Konohagakure during the First Ninja World War.

Apart from that, Aoba also found a very special detail in the memories of these people.

This was a detail that no one in the world had noticed.

In addition to the puppet technique that Shamon had developed, he also created the technique to control sand. He was the owner of Magnet Release Bloodline Limit.

"Good fellow..."

Aoba couldn't help but sigh. He silently sorted out the memories of these people in his mind.

At that time, Sunagakure was very messy.

Before Hashirama died, Shamon gathered them together and told them about the seemingly peaceful Ninja World, but the undercurrent was surging.

At that time, few people thought of this.

In addition to the top leaders of the villages, the world was immersed in the comfortable environment brought about by peace. Not many people believed that the Ninja World would return to the chaos of war.

The environment at the time was like the modern world where Aoba was in.

The strength of each country was not completely balanced, but the leaders of each country agreed that there would be no war between them. The various forces developed peacefully, and everyone felt that there should be no war in their own lives.

But...

Since ancient times, the initiative of the war was in the hands of the superior.

If they didn't want to fight, it would be a peaceful and prosperous time. If they wanted to fight, they would turn the world into hell.

When Shamon was still alive in the era of the First Hokage Senju Hashirama, he already had the thought of dying in peace. He knew that this peace was only temporary. The reason why no one in the great countries was rash was completely because Senju Hashirama was powerful and unparalleled in individual strength.

When Shamon followed the First Kazekage to participate in the first Five Kage Summit, he was strongly aware of this important matter.

The pattern of the ninja world at that time. It was in a state where a superpower was in control.

A superpower led several powerful forces, while the rest were medium and weak forces. The whole world could not shake the position of that superpower. In addition, the superpower leader liked peace!

These reasons were piled together. This made it so that no matter if it was the other powerful, middle, and weak forces, not dare to act rashly.

But!

Shamon, after seeing the operation of Senju Hasirama in the Five Kage Summit, knew that the future Ninja World would become a mess.

That was, Hashirama divided the nine Bijuu evenly so that Five Major Ninja Village had his own Bijuu.

The purpose of this action seemed to balance the power, so no one dared to make a move easily. Not only did they have the power to attack the enemy, but they also had the power to protect themselves.

But...

In Shamon's view.

If the nine Bijuu was in Konohagakure's own hands. Konohagakure was still a superpower. As long as Konohagakure wanted to maintain peace and did not want to fight, the other forces would be extremely fearful, even if Senju Hashirama had died.

However, Senju Hashirama forcibly ruined the advantage that should have belonged to Konohagakure at that time.

From that time on.

Everyone on the Five Kage Summit negotiation table was aware of this.

The time limit of peace was the lifespan of the Senju Hasirama. After the Senju Hasirama died, the entire Ninja World would once again be in chaos.

At that time, there would be no deterrence from the superpower. Any powerful force could have its own ideas.

To conquer the land of other forces.

Snatch the resources of other forces.

Even in their hearts, each had an ambition they did not speak of.

That was, after the death of Senju Hasirama, if they could first collect more than half of the Bijuu, then they could develop their own village in the direction of the superpower.

Because of this, after Shamon returned from the Five Kage Summit.

Under the approval of the First Kazekage, he devoted himself to the study of military strength and waited for the First Hokage's death.

Sunagakure was not the only one.

Iwagakure, Kumogakure, Kirigakure, and the other ninja village were all the same.

Under the quiet and peaceful atmosphere on the surface, the whole world was undergoing military training to prepare for the upcoming Ninja World War.

Only Konohagakure...

They truly enjoyed this peaceful atmosphere, and there was not much progress.

"Hu..."

When Aoba saw this memory, it was as if he had traveled to that era. Standing in the perspective of these Sunagakure ninjas and recalled the history of that era.

Because memories were from the first perspective, not from God's perspective. He seemed to be experiencing these things personally.

You have to know...

This was not the first time Aoba had read memories, not to mention how many memories he had read.

But the shock level of this viewing memory was in the first few ranks.

People who often watch movies would know that some movies would leave a deep impression on people and have a good reputation. They would even be regarded as classics. Some movies could only leave endless curses in the end, and even the audience wanted to send the director to prison.

Memories were also the same.

The quality between memories was different!

Memories like Hatake Sakumo were extremely high quality. It made Aoba use Taju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique) to repeatedly view and study it, trying to comprehend the relevant knowledge as much as possible.

The memories of these ninjas from Sunagakure were just memories of great significance to the retrospect of history.

The people at that time were no longer here, and many of the things at that time had been forgotten.

That period of history that belonged to the beginning of the Ninja Village was like the military training secretly carried out by the various villages. It was all sealed in a dark corner, and the world did not know about it.

The people now only know that...

The First Ninja World War happened → The First Ninja World War was very tragic → The First Ninja World War ended.

As for what exactly happened here. Very few people knew, and everyone stood in different perspectives. They could not see the development of the overall situation.

Just like after Senju Hashirama's death. Konohagakure became a group of dragons without a head; they then encountered a sudden attack from the four great ninja villages.

This was not something the four great ninja villages had discussed before.

Rather, everyone was facing the same thing at the same time.

From the perspective of Konohagakure's people, they felt that the people from other forces had agreed to attack Konohagakure and that the fragile peace agreement had already existed in name long ago.

However, for the people of other villages. They had no idea how long they had been plotting.

How much work had they prepared for while waiting for Senju Hashirama's death.

It's like the new king replaced the former king and ascended the throne. People only saw the outer appearance, but they didn't know how many years the new king needed to prepare to defeat how many opponents before he could get out of this bloody path.

Aoba looked back at the history from the perspective of Sunagakure's ninja memories. From another angle, he felt the operation of the Senju Hashirama.

This part...

In the past, Aoba only felt that it was a bit inappropriate, but he did not feel too much about it. After all, what the First Hokage did was similar to what he did not long ago.

Both wanted to make the various forces in the Ninja World reach a wonderful state of balance so that many forces would restrict each other, and no one dared to take the lead.

Only...

There was still a fundamental difference between Aoba and the First Hokage.

The First Hokage hoped that the entire Ninja World would be in peace so that there would be no more fighting in the world and hoped that the people could live together like a family, without any grudge between them.

Aoba was not so noble.

His idea was very simple...

You can fight as you like, but don't fight in front of him, and don't involve him. If you don't hurt him, it has nothing to do with him.

However...

Through these memories, Aoba was deeply aware of one thing. That was when you had nuclear weapons and when nuclear weapons were gathered together.

This deterrence was enough to intimidate the forces and make no forces dare to act rashly, thus allowing the situation to be peaceful.

However, if these nuclear weapons were scattered and each force controlled some of them, then it would be strange if the world was not in chaos.

When the First Hokage was still alive, he himself was a nuclear weapon. At that time, the Bijuu power that the various villages possessed was meaningless.

But after the First Hokage died.

Because every village had Bijuu's power, plus these villages had been premeditated for a long time and had successively changed into ambitious second-generation, they had long lost the reverence they had for Konohagakure at that time.

The times had changed!

Aoba had a similar impression of the Second Kazekage Shamon through the Sunagakure ninja's memories.

This was a person with ambition!

But he was also a person who knew how to advance and retreat!

In the First Ninja World War, Konohagakure and Kumogakure had gone to war. The Second Hokage Senju Tobirama personally went to the battlefield. Not only did he show the brilliant Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) to the world, but he also showed the Edo Tensei(Impure World Reincarnation) to the world for the first time.

With Kumogakure's defeat.

The Second Raikage decided to sign a peace treaty with Konohagakure and didn't want to continue fighting.

The people of various forces gradually realized that they were still not Konohagakure's match.

However, Iwagakure and Kirigakure's ninjas seized this timing. When Konohagakure just ended his fight with another village, his internal strength was extremely weak.

It could be used as a breakthrough point!

Right at that time, Iwagakure and Kirigakure's ninjas quickly rushed into Konohagakure. They wanted to take advantage of the situation, but because they wanted to snatch the spoils of war, the two sides fought first.

Shamon saw all these scenes.

He immediately understood that if Sunagakure also joined, it would be disadvantageous to the village. He immediately ordered his troops to return.

But it was just too late...

Just as these ninjas of Sunagakure were about to retreat, they encountered Hiruzen, who was not yet a Hokage and had an extremely strong fighting strength.

All of them fell. This also allowed Aoba to see some of the memories of Sunagakure during that time.

"Amazing!"

Aoba silently praised the Second Kazekage Shamon in his heart.

It seems that...

The praise for the Third Kazekage was a little too high. He even carried the name of the strongest Kazekage in history.

Now it seemed that this was a joke.

The Second Kazekage was not only not inferior to the Third Kazekage but also far surpassed the Third Kazekage.

Whether it was strategy, courage, judgment, and the most important individual strength.

When the First Kazekage was still alive, Shamon began to imitate the Tobirama and carried out drastic reforms in Sunagakure by establishing a ninja school and relevant organizations like Anbu.

Apart from that, Shamon deeply realized the problem of Sunagakure's unique climate conditions and lack of manpower.

This was an extremely serious problem in both offense and defense.

In order to be able to solve the problem of Sunagakure may not have had enough strength when the First Hokage Senju Hashirama's died. Shamon had researched the Puppet Technique so that they could use the puppet to replace Sunagakure manpower on the battlefield.

From the ordinary puppets that use as fodder at the beginning to the mechanical puppets that were equipped with all kinds of weapons, and finally to the ninja that could use Puppet Techniques.

Shamon's research on the Puppet Technique had reached the peak of perfection.

Not only did he develop a higher level of Puppet Technique in controlling the puppet fighting behavior, but he also did a lot of research on puppet making.

The research on the Puppet Technique will continue to affect Sunagakure in the future.

The Sunagakure's ninjas were lying here. It could be said that they were the first batch of ninjas trained by Shamon to perform the Puppet Technique.

Each of them was able to control nearly ten puppets, and when they were combined together, their combat strength would exceed a hundred.

If they had not been intercepted by Hiruzen at his peak at that time and they had all returned, Sunagakure would not instantly decline.

Out of these nine people. Only Chiyo and Ebizo successfully ran back.

This was also thanks to Chiyo's poison and medical skills, allowing her to avoid danger as much as possible in an extremely bad environment and striving for the greatest chance of survival for herself.

This belongs to the improvement made by the Second Kazekage on Sunagakure's offensive side so that Sunagakure, which is at a disadvantage in numbers, would not be disadvantaged in battle because of the number of people.

From a certain point of view...

This could also be considered to have grasped some of the power of science and technology!

The Second Kazekage also concealed the fact that he had Magnet Release Bloodline Limit and silently studied ninjutsu that could control sand.

It was precisely because Sunagakure was in the middle of the desert, there was flying sand everywhere, and the environment was extremely bad.

Shamon then thought of a method to turn waste into treasure. Similar to Kirigakure using seawater conditions to expand the power of water release ninjutsu, he used magnet release to control the sand, allowing him to form an absolute defense through the sand.

This kind of defense power could not only defend his own body, but it could also use the sand around Sunagakure to carry out a comprehensive defense against Sunagakure.

It was precisely because of this ninjutsu that could control sand. As long as the past generations of Kazekage stayed in Sunagakure. The village would not be in too much danger.

Moreover, when Shamon was studying the ninjutsu to control sand, he thought that this sand could also be effective against Puppet Techniques.

This would prevent the village's Puppet Master from wanting to rebel after becoming stronger.

It was just that...

Shamon might not have thought of it even before he died.

His next generation Kazekage.

The Third Kazekage who was known as the most powerful Kazekage in history.

The Third Kazekage who had the Magnet Release Bloodline Limit and could control iron sand.

The Third Kazekage who had the ability to restrain the Puppet Technique perfectly.

Just like that, he died under the Puppet Technique without a sound. In the end, he was also made into a puppet...

When Aoba thought of Third Kazekage's title of "Strongest Kazekage", he instantly thought of Hiruzen, who was now called "strongest" by people in Konohagakure.

He did not know why this "Strongest" title. On the contrary, it gave Aoba a feeling of irony.

The unable to make ends meet Third Hokage. His little carelessness ruins the village's future.

Konohagakure was like this.

Sunagakure was like this.

Kirigakure was the same.

On the other hand, Kumogakure and Iwagakure, who possessed tyrannical strength, were constantly strengthening their strength.

Through the memories of these Sunagakure ninjas, Aoba discovered that apart from formally including the Puppet Technique in Sunagakure's compulsory course and combining it with Magnet Release Bloodline Limit's ninjutsu to control the sand.

The Second Shamen also did a very advanced thing...

That was, ever since Sunagakure obtained Shukaku distributed by the First Hokage, he had been dedicated to researching how to use Bijuu's ability to fight.

"Without the Shamon, there would be no Sunagakure!"

Aoba sighed silently in his heart. As he obtained more and more memories, he discovered that the first generation was often the founder of the village; the second generation increased the height of the village, while the third generation weakened it.

"Konohagakure's Second Hokage has developed many forbidden techniques such as Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique), Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique), and Edo Tensei(Impure World Reincarnation), and so on. These forbidden techniques will play a role until the end of the story!"

"Kumogakure Second Raikage developed the thunder release ninjutsu, combining thunder release ninjutsu with taijutsu, and created Raiton Chakura Mōdo(Lightning Release Chakra Mode)!"

"Sunagakure Second Kazekage developed the Puppet Technique and the ninjutsu to control the sand, solved the problem of the lack of manpower in the village, and turned the bad environment into a battle advantage!"

"Iwagakure Second Tsuchikage has developed the Dust Release Bloodline Limit that surpasses all bloodline limits and has also upgraded and revised the Keijugan no Jutsu(Light-Weight Rock Technique) and Kajugan no Jutsu(Added-Weight Rock Technique) into an original native ninjutsu so that every Iwa ninja battle style greatly improved!"

"En..."

"Among these second generations, only the Second Mizukage is slightly weaker. He himself has the Suika no Jutsu(Hydrification Technique) of the Hozuki clan, and it will become extremely terrifying when combined with the water release technique. "

"It's just a pity..."

"The Second Mizukage doesn't have a brain. He simply doesn't know how to improve the water release technique. He can only think of ways to steal the Second Hokage water release technique."

Aoba thought about the second generation of each village in his mind and found that the Second Hokage had taken the path of the Second Mizukage. If those powerful water release ninjutsu were developed by the Second Mizukage, then this second generation would lead to an unprecedented age.

As for the third generation… Aoba did not want to mention it!

Aoba then stretched out his hand and pressed down on the wall, leaving behind a Flying Thunder God Formula on the wall.

After completing all of this, Aoba walked in the direction of the stone door. Since no one had discovered him yet. Then he will continue to take a look at every room.

At this time, he was not without any gains. He knew a lot of information, perfected the history that he had never seen in anime, and even obtained the Puppet Technique and the method to control the sand.

Not long ago, Aoba had just obtained Magnet Release Bloodline Limit.

Now, he learns how to control sand.

In the future, even if he were to go to the Country of Wind's desert, who knows who would be more advantageous in this terrain...
