Konoha's traitor master

Chapter 132

Konoha Village, the lonely sled dog izakaya

Aoba and Minato got together for a drink after a long time. There were not many people there, only Aoba and Minato were there.

Minato had just completed a mission out of the village and had just returned.

"Has the wedding date been decided?" Qingye asked enthusiastically.

Minato and Kushina were both his friends, so of course he was very happy when they got married.

"Middle of next month." Minato had a happy smile on his face.

"There are still 35 days." Kushina blurted out.

"Can't wait to come in?" Aoba teased, earning a look from Kushina.

Shrugging, he smiled and raised glasses with Minato.

The three of them joked and drank with each other all night long. Although they were stuffed with dog food, Qingye felt very good.

...

Late at night, it was still the original private room.

After sending Kushina home, Minato came here again.

"Aoba, is there something urgent?" During the party, Minato received Aoba's hint.

"Tell me something you've been curious about." Aoba's expression was a little playful, but his tone was not joking.

"Haha, then I'm all ears." Minato was slightly startled and understood what Aoba meant.

He has indeed been curious about the fact that Qingye has been trying to save his life for a long time.

"Then let's start with the origin of ninjas." Aoba picked up the wine glass and moistened his mouth.

Minato and Kushina's marriage is a big event.

As a close friend, Aoba would definitely not want to see Minato's tragedy.

Although he has done a lot of work secretly, such as preventing Obito from turning black, depriving Minato of his position as the Fourth Hokage, and using the power of the root to hide Kushina's jinchuriki identity.

There is also a guaranteed resurrection spell.

But we still need to communicate with Minato again.

After all, Kyuubi is still in Kushina's belly.

The spies sent by Aoba have been following Nagato and the three for a long time, but they still haven't found any trace of Black Zetsu.

He will not underestimate this LYB who has been hidden in the ninja world for thousands of years.

It’s not a spoiler, because the ninja world has long been a stranger.

Aoba has also passed the early accumulation stage, and now there is no pressure to tell Minato this.

Why should we go alone when we can obviously be in a group?

In addition, Aoba's future plans still require Minato's cooperation.

Aoba was ready to completely lure Minato to his side.

...

Early the next morning, the Hokage Building

Minato attended the morning meeting wearing the uniform of an ANBU minister.

"Minato, how is the progress of clearing traps on the Water Kingdom battlefield?" Tsunade asked, dragging her chin.

This is the reason why Minato has been absent from the village recently, and it is also a relatively important issue.

The high-level officials present were very concerned, especially Mito Kadobu and Koharu Koharu, who were in charge of liaising with the Daimyos of the Land of Fire.

Before the war, the border had basically been temporarily moved inland in order to build up depth to resist Kirigakure's troops.

After the war, there were traps everywhere, making it impossible to survive.

As a result, a large number of border residents became homeless and stayed near the capital.

"According to the plan, we have planned the order of clearing traps based on the distance from the capital to each city."

"Currently, the trap zones near the four cities closest to the capital have been cleared."

The progress was faster than expected, but Minato's voice was heavier than the last time he reported.

"Is there any special situation?" Tsunade heard the question in Minato's tone and asked.

"The number of traps cannot be verified." Minato's explanation was simple, but the senior officials present understood what it meant.

"Does that mean there are still dangers after these cities are cleaned up?" Tsunade asked with a frown.

"Yes, the number of traps currently recovered in several cities is far less than the amount deployed at that time. Among the recovered traps, there are still a small number of specifications that are inconsistent with the traps used by Konoha." Minato's tone revealed helplessness.

It is unknown how many of these unrecovered traps have been triggered, how many ninjas from Kirigakure Village have placed them in place, and how many were missed during the investigation.

After the density of traps is reduced, the danger to ninjas may be very small, but it will be a disaster for local residents.

A trap tape that had only been cleaned once was not safe, as he had seen with his own eyes.

Everyone cast their eyes vaguely on Qingye, but of course there was no special meaning in their eyes.

Aoba also stood calmly behind Tsunade without any expression.

When proposing this tactic, the pros and cons were clearly explained.

It was a time for Konoha's survival, and winning the war was the key.

Although Konoha won the battle in the Kingdom of Water, the disadvantages of trap tactics began to show.

Qingye also sighed in his heart, he actually did a lot of work secretly.

What he can do is try his best to ensure that these relocated civilians have basic supplies to survive this winter.

"Expand the size of the trap dismantling force. The task can be assigned at the family office, and each place should be inspected at least three times." Tsunade thought for a while and gave the order.

Sandai frowned when he heard this, but he still held it back.

He felt that it was inappropriate to issue the task to the family, but under the current situation, he could not stand up to object.

The task of clearing traps is, strictly speaking, a war-type task.

According to the default rules, it should be released in the Hokage Building.

However, each team performing the task is already working overtime at full capacity, and there is simply no manpower available to carry out such a long-term task.

Dismantling the trap is urgent.

Because the land area occupied by the battlefield of the Kingdom of Water is too large.

If this piece of land still has no output in the coming year, it will inevitably affect domestic prices.

"I obey." Seeing that no one present raised any objections, Minato nodded in agreement.

"The family office will provide full assistance." Qiu Daochengfeng also expressed his position.

After the recruitment meeting, there were still a large number of family ninjas wandering around the construction site inquiring about job opportunities.

In addition to the stalls that have not been demolished, the family-run construction site has become a lively place in Konoha.

Akimichi Qifeng also has his own ambitions for the development of family offices.

...

In the country of Kawawa, Yahiko and the others are observing a special team.

This is a team of ninjas wearing Sunagakure Village costumes and a group of ordinary people.

All the troops in Sand Hidden Village are puppet masters, controlling some tattered puppets that can barely move.

They control the puppets to actively explore areas such as grass and other areas where traps can be conveniently placed.

Once safety is confirmed or traps are eliminated, ordinary people behind follow to mark and collect materials.

The two parties cooperated very well, but the eyes of these ordinary people were very familiar to Nagato and others.

It was a look that carefully concealed hatred.

The trap was set by Konoha, but it was Sunagakure Village that started the war.

Although the daimyo of Kawa no Kuni chose to cooperate with Sunagakure Village, in the eyes of ordinary civilians in Kawa no Kuni, there is no difference between the two countries.

The reason why the daimyo of Kawanoguni chose Sunagakure Village is also very realistic.

Konoha's demand was too high, and Kawanoguni couldn't afford it, so it switched to Sunagakure Village.

Konoha acquiesced to this matter due to cost considerations.

After observing quietly for a while, the three of them turned and left.

"Next, let's go to Sunagakure Village."
