Konoha's traitor master

Chapter 107

In the newly built laboratory of Konoha Hospital.

The laboratory is a very large space, with bright lights, rows of instruments and equipment, and white coats coming and going. It has a full sense of technology, and it seems inconsistent with the style of the ninja world.

Tsunade sat bored behind her desk, where she was waiting for Orochimaru and Aoba.

Research on resurrection techniques has not been carried out smoothly since the end of the war.

But this time Orochimaru returned to the village, and the two of them were preparing to thoroughly study the resurrection technique.

Tsunade is relatively free during this time.

Although she has a comprehensive plan, but three generations are stuck, so there is not much movement.

However, Konoha's financial situation is indeed a problem.

If the steps are too big, the eggs may be pulled, and the whole project will end up being unfinished.

Aoba also has the same view. The problem of the third generation is on the one hand, and the financial problem is the fundamental reason that restricts the advancement of the plan.

The Land of Fire is very wealthy, Konoha Village is extremely prosperous, and the major families in Konoha are also very wealthy.

But the economic strength of the Konoha village government is actually not strong.

After all, Konoha is a village born from the gathering of families, and most of the interests do not fall on the village government.

In terms of the economic strength of the village government alone, Yunying Village is the strongest.

Konoha's real strength lies in its population. The cultivation of ninja cannot be separated from the supply of materials, but it does not rely on the accumulation of resources.

With a large population, the output of talented ninjas is high.

"You are too slow!" Looking at Aoba and Orochimaru entering the office one after another, Tsunade casually expressed her dissatisfaction.

"Sorry, sorry, there's something going on at the root." Qingye explained casually.

Of course, Orochimaru was interested in getting involved in the Rinnegan's plan, so the two of them chatted about the details for a while.

Tsunade has a bold personality, so Aoba doesn't need to be too cautious about her words and deeds in unofficial situations.

In this laboratory, it is an unofficial occasion.

The research on the resurrection technique is not an official project of Konoha, but a private matter of the three of them.

The funds, equipment, etc. for the entire experiment were paid for by Qingye.

It was established in Konoha Hospital just for convenience.

Aoba signed a venue rental and personnel employment agreement with Konoha Hospital very rigorously.

The money was given very well, including the favors given by Aoba including the little secretary Shizune.

It is the word Qingye signed by both parties A and B of the agreement.

These are all trivial matters, not worth mentioning.

"Stop talking nonsense and get started!" Tsunade wasn't really angry.

After all, the root work is also working for her, the Hokage.

…

In the evening, Aoba left the laboratory alone. Aoba would not come often in the future.

After the experiment was on track, he had no intention of following the experiment all the time. Aoba's job was to ensure the logistics of the laboratory.

To put it simply, it’s just two words, make money!

In fact, what he can do in the laboratory is very limited.

He already possesses Tsunade's medical ninjutsu, but when it comes to developing forbidden techniques, Aoba still lacks the relevant research talent.

You can only be an executor and a tool person.

With Tsunade completing the extremely demanding part of the experiment in medical ninjutsu, Aoba can only be regarded as an efficient follower.

There is no shortage of researchers at Konoha Hospital, so there is no need for Aoba to come, it is just a matter of adding some salary expenses.

Professional things are done by professional people, Qingye is not lazy!

So after arriving, Aoba got off work on time and ended his day's work.

Nothing to do tonight, Qingye is going to send his apprentice home and take a stroll in the commercial street.

Itachi is currently studying at Konoha Hospital according to the study plan formulated by Tsunade.

When in doubt, he can freely enter and leave Tsunade and Aoba's offices, including the one on the top floor of the Hokage Building. He is currently the most popular person in Uchiha.

"Master, do I really want to stay in ninja school for 4 years?" Itachi didn't want to stay in school. He had no interest in playing with children.

"Oh, Fugaku has already told you." Aoba touched Itachi's head, and then said: "The Chunin Examination in four years is very important."

"I understand." Itachi accepted Aoba's explanation, but was still a little disappointed.

"Alas, although you can't graduate early, you can skip classes and be more flexible in your thinking." Qingye said with hatred.

Itachi suddenly had a black line on his face and his expression twisted together.

On the one hand, he was quite happy to find out that he didn't have to waste time in the classroom.

But I understand the truth. Is it what a master should do to teach his disciples to skip classes?

"Hahaha~" Looking at Itachi's expression, Aoba laughed heartily.

"Let's eat barbecue today!" Aoba said deliberately.

"I hate barbecue."

"Then tell me what to eat! Except for the three-color meatballs. Eating them every day is not good for your teeth."

"Master, take your leave. Mother is waiting for me to have dinner at home."

…

In the end, Itachi, who was teased by Aoba, ate the meatballs before going home.

Aoba invested a lot of time, material, educational resources, and emotions in cultivating Itachi.

…

The next day's high-level morning meeting still broke up unhappy.

"This damn old man!" Tsunade did not vent her anger loudly this time, and her tone was filled with real anger.

In the quarrels again and again, the rift between Tsunade and the third generation will only grow wider.

Aoba is happy to see this happen, because Aoba has been planning to completely oust the third generation.

It's just that the time isn't ripe yet.

Tsunade and the third generation have completely fallen out, and then Aoba will have even more methods at his disposal.

"The things that the family is doing can be started." Qingye reminded.

"Then what are you waiting for?" Tsunade ordered with narrowed eyes, she couldn't wait any longer.

The main reason why the Third Generation has been able to suppress Tsunade recently is that he has an advantage in high-level voting.

In terms of their attitude toward the new policies, Mito, Mito Kabuto, and Koharu Koharu are all staunch conservatives.

An attitude of complete resistance.

Tsunade and Aoba belong to the reformist faction.

But the number of votes is at a disadvantage, so it is currently suppressed.

This was also within Aoba's expectation.

Just because things are going smoothly for the root leader does not mean that the Tsunade Party has taken control of the situation.

The key to success lies in Aoba's personal network resources.

Orochimaru needs a partner, while Minato recognizes that Aoba can take care of the roots.

Among the other high-level officials in Konoha who rarely appear in public at present, Orochimaru will not take the voting seat without a suitable interest deal, Jiraiya has left the village, and Minato has been assigned a huge amount of work by the third generation, basically staggering the voting occasions.

Moreover, Minato did not fully agree with Aoba and Tsunade's policies.

Therefore, the vote to introduce the person in charge of the family office is very important. At least there is a tie first.

The third generation is also very aware of this, so they have been opposing the advancement of the family office.

The official explanation is that a family-run institution like this that serves family ninjas is inconsistent with Konoha's long-standing policy of supporting civilian ninjas.

But there is a word called vested interest groups.

Most of the interests of Konoha Village are in the hands of the ninja family.

But no one thinks that there will be a fair and just distribution of benefits between families, right?

The biggest problem in Konoha right now besides the economy is that the third generation has been in power for too long.

Qingye shook his head and left the office.

Normally, major issues in the village are decided by high-level votes, but in emergencies, the current Hokage can also directly make the decision.

The key to Aoba's defeat is public opinion.

When public opinion boils and the people want it, it becomes the general trend, just like Tsunade coming to power is the general trend.

This is the job of manipulating public opinion, and it comes back to what Aoba is good at.
