Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Chapter 351 The Distortion of Cognition

The surviving Kirigakure ninjas surrounded Yagura's corpse, bowing their heads in silence.

"Farewell, Fourth Generation Lord."

Mei Terumi looked at Yagura's corpse, her heart filled with complex emotions and reflections.

Kirigakure ultimately lost two tailed beasts.

Although the Three-Tails temporarily perished due to Yagura's suicide and did not fall into the hands of the enemy, the Six-Tails was indeed taken away.

This was undoubtedly adding insult to injury for the already weakened Mist Shadow.

Just then, Master Yuan walked over slowly.

The elder, who has assisted the First Mizukage to this day, now had a face full of fatigue.

"Master Yuanshi!"

Yuan Shi looked up at Terumi Mei, his tone more serious than ever before.

Mei Terumi.

"exist."

"The fourth generation has already sacrificed himself for the village."

"From this day forward, you will represent Kirigakure at the upcoming Five Kage Summit as the Fifth Mizukage."

Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi's body trembled slightly.

Looking into Master Yuan's eyes, he finally nodded heavily.

"Yes! I will not let Kirigakure be disgraced!"

Konoha, Hokage's office.

boom!

White smoke exploded, and Qingye's figure reappeared.

As soon as I landed, I noticed that there were many more people in the office.

Besides Tsunade and Dan, Jiraiya and Minato, who had been missing for a long time, were also present.

"Wow, it's getting lively here?"

Aoba was somewhat surprised. His gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Jiraiya. "This whole setup, is everyone waiting for me?"

"Stop talking nonsense and get to the point!"

Tsunade glared at him, annoyed. "What's the situation in Kirigakure?"

Aoba didn't keep them in suspense, "The situation isn't very good."

"The Six-Tails has been taken by Toneri."

"Not only that, the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, chose to commit suicide to prevent the Three-Tails from falling into enemy hands, taking the Three-Tails with him."

"hiss----"

A brief silence fell over the office.

Is the Fourth Mizukage dead?

It's important to know that the death of any one of the five great ninja villages is a major event that shakes the ninja world.

Even though Yagura Karatachi had long been sidelined by Kirigakure and most of the power was in the hands of Genji, the title of Fourth Mizukage still remained.

His death represents far more than just the sacrifice of one person.

Kato Dan spoke in a deep voice: "Now that the Fourth Kazekage Rasa is seriously injured, and the Fourth Mizukage Yagura Karatachi is dead, Toneri is no longer..."

He's just an ordinary terrorist.

"His existence has already posed a great threat to the entire ninja world."

Tsunade frowned. "First it was Sunagakure, then Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and now Kirigakure. That means Toneri has already captured five tailed beasts."

"The balance of the five great ninja villages has been completely broken."

Just then, Jiraiya, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

"So, that guy named Toneri is the so-called Ōtsutsuki clan you mentioned before?"

Aoba nodded and said frankly, "That's right, he is Otsutsuki, and he's not even a member of the main clan."

After receiving confirmation, Jiraiya's expression became even more serious.

Aoba twitched her nose and chuckled softly.

"Lord Jiraiya, the smell of toad oil on you has faded a lot, but it hasn't completely disappeared."

"Looks like you've been going to see Gamamaru again lately?"

Jiraiya did not deny it, but looked at Aoba with a complicated expression.

"I don't deny that I was indeed influenced by the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, but even the Toad Sage's prophecy is not without its limitations."

I only learned some information about the future through fleeting fantasies in my dreams.

"But you're different. How do you know so much information about the future?"

"I learned from Minato that you had contact with Konoha ninjas from the future, and thus learned some things about the future."

"However, information about a single future ninja is simply insufficient for you to know such detailed information, even information concerning the future of the entire ninja world!"

"The Otsutsuki clan, the Rinnegan, the Ten-Tails—these things are simply beyond the reach of an ordinary Konoha ninja!"

"The origins of the Otsutsuki clan, the secrets of the Tailed Beasts, the abilities of the Rinnegan, the existence of the Tenseigan —"

"This intelligence has far exceeded the normal scope."

Jiraiya's tone became more serious.

"So I want to ask, who exactly are you?"

"Jiraiya! That's enough!"

Tsunade slammed her hand on the table and glared at Jiraiya.

"Aoba is a Konoha ninja, a comrade we can absolutely trust! Are you doubting him?!"

Jiraiya did not back down in the face of Tsunade's anger.

He gave a wry smile and shook his head.

"Tsunade, don't get agitated. I didn't say he wasn't trustworthy."

"If I didn't trust him, I wouldn't be standing here discussing these things with you."

"I just want to know the truth."

"The situation in the ninja world is now in complete chaos. There are unknown powerful enemies, lost tailed beasts, and even the Kage are getting into trouble one after another."

"As a Konoha ninja, I must figure out what kind of enemy we are facing, and what kind of trump card the person leading us to deal with all of this has."

Upon hearing Jiraiya's words, Tsunade fell silent.

Actually, it wasn't just Jiraiya.

She and Kato Dan, too, noticed the abnormality in Aoba.

Aoba's foresight and his endless stream of methods far exceeded the scope of a normal ninja.

He was like a chess player standing high above, overlooking the entire ninja world, knowing everyone's fate and trump cards perfectly.

Palm.

However, Tsunade and Dan chose to remain silent.

Because they knew that everything Aoba did was for Konoha and for the ninja world.

So they have been silently supporting him from behind, covering for him, and bearing all the pressure for him.

Aoba looked at Tsunade, who was standing in front of him, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

He gently patted Tsunade's shoulder, indicating that she didn't need to be nervous, and then stood up from the sofa.

"In fact, because of my appearance and interference, the course of this world has already deviated slightly."

"However, so far the results are good; at least the tragedy has been averted to some extent."

Aoba said in a relaxed tone.

Jiraiya frowned, clearly not understanding what Aoba meant.

"Deviate? What does that mean?"

Aoba looked at Jiraiya, who had a puzzled expression, and then at Tsunade, Dan, and Minato, who also had curious expressions.

He sighed helplessly and crossed his arms.

"Fine, since we've come this far, I won't pretend anymore."

"I'm coming clean."

Aoba took a deep breath and glanced at everyone present.

"Actually, I'm a time traveler."

"In my original world, you—including everyone in this ninja world—were just two-dimensional characters in an anime."

Everyone: ? ? ?

Aoba sighed, "It's the same as always. As long as you reveal your understanding, it gets distorted!"
