Konoha's traitor master

Chapter 181

Konoha Village

After leaving the Hokage Building, Aoba walked on the street with a relaxed expression, greeting villagers passing by from time to time. This could be regarded as promoting his image of being close to the people.

But he also knew in his heart that these were only small details that were icing on the cake, and could not eliminate Tsunade's disadvantage in competing with the third generation for prestige.

Tsunade has one of the biggest disadvantages in competing with the third generation for reputation, and that is the master-disciple relationship with the third generation.

The support of the third generation is the reason why Tsunade gained an absolute advantage in the general election, and it is also the reason why Tsunade is now losing to the third generation in the prestige competition.

In terms of merit alone, Tsunade's contribution is not inferior to that of the Third Generation. After all, Tsunade has been active on the battlefield for more than ten years, while the Third Generation has not personally conquered the border for a long time.

But the word inheritance has extraordinary meaning.

In general knowledge, all achievements of an apprentice are due to the education of the master.

The greater Tsunade's contribution, the greater the bonus to the reputation of the third generation.

In the eyes of ordinary villagers, the alternation of the position of Hokage between the third generation and Tsunade is a process of inheriting the will of the third generation.

After the election, the villagers of Konoha currently generally support both the Third Generation and Tsunade.

But if we really want to cast a vote between Tsunade and the third generation, or make the voting in the form of first vote and second vote, then the third generation will definitely be the dominant party.

There is only one group that absolutely supports Tsunade, and that is the medical ninja. This is Tsunade's base.

Therefore, the current actions of Aoba and Tsunade can only be based on matters related to medical ninjas.

...

While thinking about it, Aoba had already arrived at the embassy in Iwagakure Village.

According to a prior appointment, he will meet with Huang Tu, the leader of the Yanyin Village mission today, to discuss cooperation in blocking the trade routes of the Kingdom of Thunder.

"As for the suggestions put forward by Konoha, Iwagakure can agree, but in terms of the distribution of orders, I cannot agree to the condition of 70% share of Konoha's war situation." Huangtu's expression was calm, his tone was not like a diplomat, and his sentences were not

Relatively straightforward.

Perhaps because of the similarity, Huangtu is a giant man with a height of more than 2 meters. From this height alone, it is difficult to associate him with the short stature of Onoki.

However, genetic inheritance in the ninja world has always been a mystery, and Aoba knew that the big man in front of him would have a fair-skinned, beautiful and long-legged daughter Kurotsuchi in the future.

Aoba didn't believe her with that appearance, saying she was Onoki's granddaughter.

While expressing some very rude thoughts in his heart, Aoba had a very serious look on his face and replied seriously: "Iwagakure Village is only responsible for the blockade near the coastline, and the task it undertakes is not heavy.

I think 30% is very reasonable."

Aoba also cooperated and adopted a direct attitude. He could see that the son of the Tsuchikage in front of him really had no diplomatic experience.

"Compared to the narrow passages on land, sea routes are the main way for the Kingdom of Thunder's foreign trade. Compared with the rich Kingdom of Fire, the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Wind are the main trading targets of the merchants of the Kingdom of Thunder."

Huang Tu honestly gave out the information he had.

Aoba felt confident, because what Huangtu said was indeed true, and it was obvious that Iwagakure Village had carefully investigated the information related to the trade in the Country of Thunder.

Kumogakure Village developed cross-sea combat technology in order to plan a raid on Iwagakure Village, and in the process used the country of Thunder's transnational trade to cover up.

However, in the end, the information about the cross-sea attack was leaked to Onomu'er.

So Aoba pretended to make a hesitant expression, and then said with a relaxed attitude: "In terms of share, Konoha can make some concessions, but Iwagakure needs to cooperate with Konoha and Sunagakure to give up the communication with Kumogakure.

transaction."

The two discussed for a few more words, and with Qingye's cooperation, they quickly reached a preliminary cooperation intention.

However, the two people had a tacit agreement not to discuss the specific share allocation in detail, but left it to the negotiation team below.

Huang Tu knew that he was not good at this.

Qingye, on the other hand, felt that it would be troublesome for the two of them to talk. If it was Luo Sha, then this kind of transaction would be much easier to talk about.

...

Roots underground base

After the meeting with Huangtu, Aoye returned here non-stop to process the intelligence on the battlefield. His ability to control the intelligence of Kumogakure Village was still a bit poor, so Aoye needed to keep an eye on it.

This matter has been mentioned in the high-level meeting, and Aoba must take it seriously.

The root is Aoba's bottom line, a power that cannot be thrown away no matter what.

In addition, after finishing the root work, he had to go to the embassy in Sunagakure Village to meet with Rasa.

The person in charge of Konoha's reception of the two countries is Aoba, but one is a vest on the surface and the other is a vest on the root.

Aoba himself didn't really want to take charge of this matter. The plan to unite Iwagakure Village and restrict Sunagakure Village was actually very difficult to implement.

Moreover, Aoba has too many things in his hands, and he actually does not want to control too many affairs in his hands to stimulate the mentality of the top management.

The top management is currently trying to find ways to limit his power, and Aoba himself is completely cooperative above the bottom line.

Now is not the time for him to reveal his true intentions.

However, Iwagakure sent Onoki's son Huang Tu, and Konoha had to arrange for a receptionist with equal status, but there was only Aoba, who was Tsunade's disciple.

This actually just exposed the faults in Konoha's high-level inheritance.

During the three generations of rule, it is difficult to evaluate the merits and demerits in education.

In terms of the number of ninjas trained, the Third Generation has undoubtedly done an excellent job. The Konoha Ninja School has produced a large number of ninjas who are loyal to Konoha.

But in terms of cultivating successors for Konoha's top leaders, it was a complete failure.

Among the three generations of people, only the third generation himself has trained three outstanding disciples, and the other high-level officials have no outstanding successors.

Danzo originally thought he had it, but...

Among the Sannin's disciples, Orochimaru is currently the only one who is still a lolita disciple, Anko, and Anko's character as an adult is not suitable for being a high-level person.

Among Jiraiya's four disciples, three were ninjas from the enemy country, and the other was on the battlefield.

Among Tsunade's disciples, Shizune is also a Loli secretary.

After Tsunade succeeds to the throne, the next generation who can be the next successor is currently only Minato and Aoba.

The Third Generation has been in charge of the Jonin Class and ANBU, two places where Konoha's elites gather, for so many years, but not even a single decent talent has been left.

This is why after Tsunade came to power, she was very dissatisfied with the third generation still controlling Konoha's education.

Aoba knows that the third generation may not have intentional thoughts subjectively, but objectively the long-term behavior of him, Danzo and others in power and the excessive suppression of family ninjas are the main reasons for the current talent dilemma.

The Third Generation, who has been vigorously promoting the Will of Fire to cultivate the next generation, has actually caused a talent gap in Konoha. It is indeed quite ironic.

However, except for the third generation Raikage who took the initiative to establish his son as the 'Prince' early on in each village, this problem is common among the Kages in each village.

The most serious one is the village of Iwagakure, where an old man holds power to the point of triggering a crisis for the androids.

Loess is the son of the Tsuchikage, but in Aoba's judgment, Loess still has a long way to go before becoming a qualified Kage.

It is better to look forward to his daughter Kurotsuchi.
