Konoha's traitor master

Chapter 144

Konoha Village, the lonely sled dog izakaya

For the first time, more than 10 people were crammed into the private room, including Aoba, Tsunade, Shizune and Tsunade's eight bodyguards.

Tsunade's core team is undergoing its first team building.

"You have worked hard during this time!" Tsunade said, holding the wine bowl. She took off her coat to expose her arms, and drank the wine in the bowl boldly.

"Thank you for your hard work, sir." Everyone cooperated and drank the wine in their glasses.

Tsunade put down the wine bowl with a satisfied look.

This group of guards has initially gained Tsunade's trust.

Just because the roots surrendered the power to monitor the village, it does not mean that Konoha's top management has completely lifted their monitoring of the village.

This matter is currently being done by ANBU, and both the Third Generation and Tsunade have some manpower involved.

The test has already begun in secret, and several people here have passed the test.

The sign that this test has been passed is that the third generation still does not know the details of Danzo's death.

In other words, all members of the capital tour group kept the secret and did not reveal any details of the journey to the Fire Country to others.

Given the degree of control the third generation has over the village, as long as one person leaks the secret, the third generation will receive some information.

Being able to keep secrets is a very important quality.

So Tsunade also began to make some moves to further win over people's hearts.

For example, before carrying out a large-scale mission, a team-building dinner is held in Aoba's izakaya.

Tsunade is now in her thirties, with a young appearance and a bold personality, and her subordinates are also young people.

Therefore, the most suitable way to build a relationship is to go to the wine table, rather than the heart-to-heart communication of three generations.

Tsunade invited her subordinate Aoba to pay for the banquet. This was a routine operation. After all, Aoba was his apprentice.

The atmosphere at the wine table was intense, and even Hizashi, who had always been serious about his words, looked a little drunk.

"Shikaku, the next task of escorting the Kumogakure Village caravan will be left to your command." After drinking for three rounds, Tsunade talked about the upcoming Kumogakure Village escort mission.

Talking about business during team building and doing team building during holidays are two common operations of team building.

The escort team that declared entry to Kumogakure Village was luxuriously equipped, including the two Jinchuriki and Yukito.

Konoha also sent out a team of comparable strength, and the commander Tsunade assigned to this team was Shikaku.

Shikaku made a "no problem" gesture, his expression looked like he was troubled.

Tsunade didn't take it seriously either. Although she was talking about business, this was not a formal occasion after all, so it didn't hurt to be casual.

Moreover, Shikaku has helped Tsunade take on so many blames recently, and Tsunade is already used to that attitude.

He kept saying it was troublesome, but he did things beautifully.

After Aoba's appraisal, Shikaku is a true sister-in-law, and Tsunade is his ideal type.

Tsunade then gave instructions to the rest of the people, and the bowl of water was level.

Aoba quietly watched Tsunade operate from the side, occasionally chiming in a few words.

I was thinking about the details of the mission in my mind. This trip to the Land of Rain must be very lively.

Ninjas from Sand Hidden Village, Kumo Hidden Village, and Konoha Village are all gathered at the border of Rain Country. There are many people and there are many high-end combat capabilities.

In addition to the huge amount of money involved, with just a little spark, it will probably turn into a war.

Presumably Hanzo must have had trouble sleeping and eating during this period.

The third generation's original idea was to bring Minato back to lead the team and add the elite ANBU, but Tsunade took over the entire task.

In the end, in addition to the regular ninja team, the escort group sent by Konoha was headed by Tsunade's eight great guards.

The three members of Kakashi's team are in the dark as the root, while the remaining five people join the guard group in the dark.

It is equivalent to using this task to test the abilities of Tsunade's direct team.

The identity of the Hokage Guard is very special.

.....

After instructing the store manager to write down the order in Tsunade's hand, even if Tsunade has no intention of returning it, she still has to remember what should be written down! This is a matter of principle.

Then Aoba took Shisui and Kakashi and the three of them had another scene.

It is equivalent to department team building after the company team building is completed.

The purpose is of course to tell the truth.

"Shisui, after sending the team to the border, you will take the opportunity to sneak into the Kingdom of Rain. The specific tasks are in the scroll, and be ready to receive my instructions at any time." Aoba handed a scroll to Shisui.

Counting the time, it was time for the three people who were traveling under Akatsuki's organization to return to the village. No matter what the final decision of Nagato and the others was, Aoba would need to arrange for a powerful person to take care of them in the Land of Rain.

For example, to avoid the situation where Aoba arranged a circle of Yahiko and still died in the hands of Hanzo.

Yahiko and Konan are equivalent to the fuse of Nagato's explosive barrel, and Aoba doesn't want these two people to have problems for the time being.

"Yes!" Shisui replied very loudly and with a firm attitude.

After learning the information about Uchiha Madara, he took the matter of Samsara Eye very seriously.

Aoba nodded. It seemed that the previous actions were not in vain. Shisui's attitude was very positive at first glance.

"Kakashi, you are the captain of the two teams this time, and you have a heavy responsibility." Aoba hinted that this task is a very important task, in order to mobilize Kakashi's enthusiasm.

Of course, this is also the reason why Yunyin Village has a bad track record in engaging in small tricks.

"Leave it to me." Kakashi's eyes under the mask instantly became sharp.

Life is very fulfilling now, but he is always thinking about the deal with Aoba.

After establishing deep friendships with more and more people, I added Aoba’s overt and covert reminders.

Kakashi slowly began to understand his father's choice at that time, and he wanted to pursue the truth of the year even more.

"Kakashi, we will help you!" Obito smiled and put his hand on Kakashi's shoulder, looking very loyal.

Lin also silently put her hand on Kakashi's other shoulder.

Kakashi's eyes showed gratitude.

The atmosphere in the private room also became a little warm.

Aoba patted Shisui on the shoulder. The top leader in Konoha's guard group was Shisui.

Although he is not a commander, he still has the heaviest responsibility.

...

On the other side, the three Nagatos carefully avoided the ninjas on the border of the Land of Thunder and embarked on the road back to the Land of Rain.

After arriving in the Land of Thunder, the three of them conducted an investigation and unexpectedly obtained information that the two villages of Kumogakure and Konoha would trade with the Sunagakure Village in the Land of Rain.

So the three people immediately decided to end their trip and return to the Kingdom of Rain.

It can be said that the three kingdoms are returning home as quickly as possible, and the three kingdoms gather in the Kingdom of Rain. If one mistake is made, it will bring huge disaster to the citizens of the Kingdom of Rain.

And after hearing about this wave of requests for help from Sunagakure Village, Yahiko finally understood the meaning of Jiraiya's words.

The future of the small country lies in the Ninja Alliance.

When the Ninja Alliance was established, although the small country was represented, according to the rules, the leader of the small country also had a seat as an ordinary member and had voting rights.

With the effect of this vote, small countries are qualified to use the platform of the Ninja Alliance to communicate with big countries and make their own voices heard.

However, the qualification to participate in the Ninja Alliance lies with the officially recognized leader.

"We must reach a reconciliation with Hanzo." Yahiko said firmly.

"But we must be fully prepared." Nagato did not object anymore, but emphasized that he should beware of Hanzo.

After all, Hanzo's last temporary betrayal was still fresh in his mind. If someone hadn't revealed the information to Akatsuki in advance, the consequences would have been disastrous.

"I won't be impulsive." Yahiko reassured.
