Konoha's traitor master

Chapter 170

Hokage building top floor office

The Ministry of Education proposal put forward by Jiraiya was passed very smoothly. The Third Generation and Tsunade reached a private deal, and the entire voting process went without any disturbance.

After the meeting, Aoba came to Tsunade's office.

"The compilation of genin textbooks has begun and is expected to be completed before the admissions season next year." Aoba first reported to Tsunade the medical school-related matters as usual, which was what Tsunade was most concerned about.

"Well, keep up the progress." Tsunade nodded. She knew that this was not in a hurry, so she asked with concern: "How is the situation at the family office?"

"The first arbitration will be held tomorrow." Aoba's tone was very confident.

The land dispute between the two families was not a particularly complicated case. It was just that no one took care of it before, so the two families got into trouble.

This is actually the dereliction of duty of the Uchiha Police Department and the Hokage Building. Konoha is currently ruled by people and there is no systematic law.

Both of them have always focused on military and criminal cases, and have been inactive on civil and civil issues.

Only when civil disputes escalate to the point of violating Konoha's rules will they be handled.

In fact, according to the current authority of the Hokage Building, as long as an authority makes a judgment, the villagers below, whether they are families or civilians, will not disobey.

"Report the results to me after you're done." Tsunade didn't ask in detail, acting very trusting.

"Okay, then Tsunade-sama, I will take my leave first." Aoba agreed and then said goodbye.

After Tsunade took office, her main internal direction was medical care and family affairs. Currently, it is medical school and family affairs, so Aoba only needs to report on the progress of these two tasks.

As for the plan to completely oust the third generation, the time has not come yet, so the two did not discuss it frequently.

...

Fire Nation Frontier

The troops of Konoha and Kumogakure arrived at the predetermined battlefield at the same time with a "tacit understanding", and Kumogakure stationed itself in a small country on the border of the Land of Fire.

Minato led the troops to stop at the border of the Land of Fire.

In the Konoha commander's camp, Minato frowned and discussed with Nara Shikaku how to set up defenses.

Under Aoba's 'care', Nara Shikaku became the chief of staff of this force as the ANBU representative under Tsunade.

"We cannot passively defend." Nara Shikaku said after thinking for a while.

The Country of Fire can be said to be the center of the entire continent, bordering the other three large countries separated by a large number of small countries. This is also the reason why the Country of Fire has been besieged several times.

The most troublesome aspect of the war between Konoha and Kumogakure is the long border of the Land of Fire.

With the high mobility of ninjas, the ninjas of Cloud Hidden Village can break into the Fire Country from small countries such as Tian Country and Frost Country, and go around to the rear of Konoha's army to destroy it.

"Yes, Shikaku, what do you think?" Minato asked, his tone very trusting. He had a very good relationship with Nara Shikaku, and Aoba highly respected Shikaku's wisdom.

Minato knew that the key to this war was to build momentum, and passive defense was too frustrating.

"We took the initiative and deployed defenses at the border of Tianno Country." Nara Shikaku pointed at the map and said.

The Kingdom of Thunder is a protruding peninsula relative to the mainland, and the part connected to the mainland is two small countries. Currently, the troops of Yunyin Village are stationed in the small country between the Kingdom of Tian and the Kingdom of Iron.

"The Kingdom of Iron is a neutral country with strong strength. The troops in Kumogakure Village will not follow the route of the Kingdom of Iron." Shikaku Nara gestured on the map.

"So as long as we guard this section of the border of Fire Country and the border of Tian Country, we can lock Kumogakure Village in place." Nara Shikaku showed a confident expression after saying this.

"That's true, then let's do it." Minato made a decision quickly, because that was actually his plan.

When Minato went on an expedition, Aoba must have helped Minato plan something, and there was a very important thing that Aoba needed Minato's cooperation for.

That was an act of revenge against Yunyin Village.

If Konoha and Kumogakure are playing on the border of the Land of Fire, then this war will not have much impact on Kumogakure.

But it's different if the border of Tian Country is locked.

In terms of the geographical location of Kumogakure Village, Konoha is equivalent to locking Kumogakure Village on the peninsula of the Kingdom of Thunder, which means that Kumogakure Village has lost the opportunity to communicate with other countries.

For example, the deal with Sand Hidden Village is definitely dead, and the caravan cannot leave the Kingdom of Thunder.

Aoba's revenge on Kumogakure Village has two points. One is economic revenge. Sunagakure Village is now an important material exporter to various countries. After Aoba blocks the trade road, even if the trade road to the Country of Grass is open, Yun Ye will

Even the Hidden Village cannot reach the Country of Fields.

Another point is to alienate the relationship between Yunyin Village and the aristocratic class of the Kingdom of Thunder. Blockade of Tian Country will not only affect Yunyin Village, but also the foreign trade of the entire Kingdom of Thunder.

The good economy of Yunyin Village has always been based on the support of domestic daimyo and nobles.

Once the war in Yunyin Village damages the interests of domestic merchants, Yunyin Village will be under pressure from within the country.

The two of them quickly worked out the specific arrangements.

...

In Sunagakure Village, which is far away from the battlefield, in the Kazekage Building, the senior management of Sunagakure Village are discussing the war.

After the official war between Konoha and Kumogakure Village, Sunagakure Village quickly received the news.

After Sunagakure Village suffered a big loss in intelligence during the Third Ninja War, Yekura began to reorganize and develop the intelligence department of Sunagakure Village's ANBU after taking office.

At the same time, it also gave Luo Sha the authority to establish an intelligence agency.

However, not much results have been produced yet, but the expeditions of Konoha and Kumogakure were carried out with great fanfare, so Sunagakure Village has already received certain news.

"This time we will not participate in the war." Ye Cang first set the tone for the meeting. This meeting was not to discuss whether to start a war or not, but to discuss whether Sunagakure Village could obtain some benefits from it.

Although she is the one who wants revenge on Konoha the most among the senior officials of Sunagakure Village here, she knows that Sunagakure Village is not eligible to participate in the war now.

"I agree, because there is a high probability that Konoha and Cloud Hidden Village will be a 'fake fight' this time." Luo Sha said calmly after thinking for a while.

No one was particularly surprised. Konoha and Kumogakure had a fake fight in the Third Ninja War. This was also one of the reasons why the two countries maintained a large amount of combat power after the war.

Ye Cang frowned, she could also think of this, but in this case, the war between the two countries might become a long-term battle.

"Luo Sha, how much impact do you think the war between the two countries will have on next year's material trade?" Ye Cang asked. What she is most concerned about now is material trade.

This is the key to her negotiation with the daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind.

At present, several big transactions in Sunagakure Village have put the village and the daimyo of the Land of Wind into a state of confrontation.

But under the one-country-one-village system, one side must bow to the other between Sunagakure Village and the daimyo.

The key to the problem is whether Sunagakure Village can obtain a stable source of supplies.

If it can, then it means that Sand Hidden Village has the ability to get rid of the control of the Kingdom of Wind, and then the daimyo will bow his head immediately.

If not, then Sunagakure Village must bow to the daimyo for supplies.

Or change to an obedient name, but if you take this step, there will be endless troubles.
