Konoha's traitor master

Chapter 215

Konoha Village, Embassy of the Country of Rain

Yahiko and Aoba sat in the reception room with calm expressions.

Yahiko was very calm about being stabbed in the back by his 'fellow disciple'. After all, he had a special experience of being stabbed in the back by the leader of his own country.

So after receiving the letter from Luo Sha about canceling the cooperation, Yahiko has been thinking about whether his plan this time is still a bit naive.

Then he realized a very important thing. Even if there was Jiraiya in Konoha, the hostile relationship between the two countries would not change.

It is impossible for Konoha to sit back and watch the rapid development of Amegakure Village, let alone proactively provide support.

During this time, both he and Rasa misjudged the importance Konoha attached to the war.

After thinking about it, Yahiko became calmer.

But that doesn't mean he gave up on his plans.

This is the reason why he is sitting calmly talking to Aoba in the reception room.

"I wonder what the purpose of Aoba-sama's visit this time is?" Yahiko's tone was very calm, without any emotion such as anger.

Aoba actually admires Yahiko's performance very much.

In fact, Aoba doesn't have any favorable impression of the character Yahiko, and of course he doesn't have any bad feelings.

The scene that night was not really meant to trick Yahiko. Regardless of whether he met Yahiko or not, the cooperation between the two countries could not succeed.

Sunagakure Village currently has no real power to resist in front of Konoha.

Luo Sha himself knew this very well.

"Of course we are discussing a cooperation that is closely related to the livelihood of the Country of Rain." Qingye showed a kind smile. He was indeed here to cooperate with the Country of Rain.

Rejecting the cooperation between Sunagakure Village and Rain Country does not mean that this plan is really useless.

After all, Shisui's infiltration into the Akatsuki organization represented Aoba's will, and Aoba was also indirectly involved in Yahiko's plan.

But Aoba's plan is of course different from Yahiko's.

Making Yahiko think of a similar plan through Shisui is just one part of Aoba's overall plan.

After hearing Aoba's words, Yahiko almost lost his expression.

After finally holding it in, he asked, "Master Aoba, please explain in detail."

"Since the establishment of the Ninja Alliance, a large number of trade agreements have been reached between various countries. Konoha is preparing a proposal to be put forward in the alliance. I hope the Country of Rain can agree and participate." Aoba is here to canvass votes.

From Yahiko's plan and execution, Aoba clearly realized a problem, that is, Yahiko had misunderstood the phrase "the future of a small country lies in the Ninja Alliance".

After the establishment of the Ninja Alliance, the greatest value of a small country has always been the vote, not some geographical advantages or anything else.

Aoba is the person in the entire ninja world who most hopes to expand the influence of the Ninja Alliance, so taking advantage of this opportunity, Aoba decisively canvassed for votes and taught in person.

The early morning of the Ninja Alliance Business District Investment Promotion Meeting

In the conference room of the Hokage Building, a group of senior executives held their morning meeting as usual.

After everyone arrived, Qingye knew that nothing would happen today.

The reason is very simple. People in this room are all from the same family behind closed doors, so if something happens, it will be easily reflected in the atmosphere.

The atmosphere in the conference room today is very harmonious.

After the regular reporting process, the third generation asked with great concern: "Aoye, are you ready for the investment meeting later?"

Everyone present was very concerned about this matter.

The huge profits brought by the family-run business circle are an eye-opener for Konoha ninjas who have relied on missions as their economic pillar for thousands of years.

"Of course, this is a project that has been prepared for a long time." Aoba expressed confidence.

"There has been no movement in Yunyin Village. We still need to be on guard." Sandai reminded. In fact, this sentence was what he said to himself. Regarding the monitoring of the Yunyin Village mission, the ANBU of Sandai was in charge.

"Senior Fengfeng, we will later recruit a group of people from the family office as a reserve force to handle emergencies, and the normal mission remuneration will be paid from the Hokage Building." Tsunade added that she was the most sensitive to money issues.

After all, the current pressure of Konoha's huge loan is on her.

"No problem." Akimichi Tifeng nodded and returned. The expansion of the power of the family office did not seem to change anything for him, and his attitude was still silent.

When everyone in the room was paying attention to the benefits that the investment fair would bring, the consultant elder Mito Kadeni frowned and said: "The increase in the village's income is indeed a good thing, but the daimyo's recent attitude seems to be

Something is starting to change.”

Xiaochun, who was sleeping next to him, also echoed: "On the issue of next year's funding, the daimyo's attitude is obviously not as straightforward as in the past."

It is undoubtedly inappropriate to say such words at this time, but these two people believe that this is their duty as top advisers.

Under the one-country-one-village system, although the Daming Palace and the Ninja Village are two different systems, nominally the Ninja Village is an institution belonging to the state, and for the sake of money, Konoha still needs to report to the Daimyo on a regular basis.

Some work.

The people responsible for this matter are the two highest elders belonging to the administrative department.

"Don't worry about the daimyo's attitude for the time being. During the Chinese New Year, I will pay a special visit." Tsunade was interrupted and couldn't help but curl her lips, but after thinking about it seriously, she decided to make money first and make repairs later.

A decision on the relationship with the daimyo.

The system of one country, one village cannot be broken at present.

But there was no reason for Tsunade not to earn the money she received, and this actually did not touch the bottom line between the Ninja Village and the Daimyo.

That is tax. Of course, merchants in Konoha Village also have to pay tax, not to Konoha, but to the daimyo.

It is the state's right to collect taxes from the citizens of the Fire Nation.

The way family offices and ninja alliance business districts make money is by collecting rents, not taxes.

Strictly speaking, the real estate in Konoha is owned by the village. Even the territories of various clans in Konoha and the Hokage Building can be adjusted at will when necessary.

It can only be said to be a primitive business practice, and it does not even break the ninja rule of not doing production.

"Since Tsunade has decided, let's do this for now." The two elders did not object.

Because they really have no reason to object, this is just a reminder.

"Aoba, how are you preparing for the new proposal of the Ninja Alliance?" Tsunade changed the subject and asked about another item that could make money.

"Having received two-thirds of the votes, there is no problem in passing the proposal." Aoba was still confident.

In the past few days, he has met with almost all national lawmakers who have begun looking for trade opportunities.

Successfully locked in the approval of new proposals.

At the same time, it successfully reminded the missions of various countries what is their most valuable thing.
