Konoha's traitor master

Chapter 48

In the evening, Aoba came to the home of the Third Hokage wearing casual clothes and bringing gifts.

Shortly after Aoba returned home from the office, he received a message from a servant of the Sarutobi family. The third generation invited Aoba to visit his home this evening.

This was a family banquet, which meant that the third generation had officially recognized Aoba's disciple's identity.

In fact, logically speaking, Aoba should have taken the initiative to visit the third generation when he officially started to take on the banner of Tsunade's disciple.

However, it was during the war recently, so it was delayed.

"Come Aoye, sit down and try my tea ceremony." Sandai sat in the tea room and greeted Aoye very affectionately.

Sandai had just arrived home, and he had given himself an hour's leave to go home early to prepare to entertain Aoye. It was still early for the planned 8 o'clock dinner, so he set up a tea room so that he could chat in advance.

"Then I have to look forward to it." Aoye replied with a smile. Since it was a family banquet, Aoye was not the subordinate of the third generation at this time, but a disciple. Acting too seriously would ruin the atmosphere.

However, after entering the tea room, a serious attitude changed. The Japanese tea ceremony pays more attention to the sense of ritual and has a strict process. There are a set of rules for those who perform the tea ceremony, as well as those who watch and taste it.

Qingye has been here for so long, and the merchant has been traveling as a big businessman for a long time, so naturally he has come into contact with a lot.

After the process was completed, the two relaxed and talked about some interesting stories about the Sannin. Mainly, the Sandai told about all the deeds of the Sannin when they were students.

The atmosphere was just right, and Sandai asked the question he was most concerned about: "How confident are you and Minato's plan?"

The Third Generation knew that Minato's Flying Thunder God was very powerful, but he had followed the Second Generation for many years and had never seen the Flying Thunder God's actual combat performance.

"Minato and I once played a game where we randomly released a group of sparrows in a forest. The rules of the game were that Minato had to catch the sparrows harmlessly before they flew out of the woods. Minato's best result was to release 2,000 sparrows.

"Sparrows, 1,937 of them were recovered." Aoba cited a scene from Minato's training to illustrate Minato's combat effectiveness.

Aoba was shocked when he said this. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Aoba would never believe that this was possible for humans.

The difficulty of this training is not speed, but reaction speed, as well as the ability to analyze and judge in complex battlefields, or the ability to adapt.

Even if this is the unscientific ninja world, it is extremely unbelievable. Minato is powerful not only because he is a flying thunder god, but also because of his reaction speed, combat intelligence, and adaptability. His combat talents are powerful.

This is also the reason why Aoba lost interest in Flying Thunder God. Without Minato's fighting talent, even if he learned Flying Thunder God, it would be a Flying Thunder God Slash that was posed in advance, which would be of little significance.

The third generation silently calculated the difficulty of this game and began to have a new understanding of Minato's strength.

Then he relaxed his frown. This was different from the second-generation Flying Thunder God. He thought with relief that there was someone to succeed Konoha.

Since Minato was mentioned, the Third Generation took the opportunity to bring the topic to the candidate of the next Hokage. The situation of the Third War gradually became clearer, and the Third Generation also began to consider the issue of the successor. The Third Generation was very clear-headed, and his age was not suitable to continue to be the Hokage.

"Aoba, who do you think is the most suitable person to inherit the fourth generation's position in Konoha currently?" The third generation asked non-seriously, holding a cigarette in his mouth.

Aoba did not answer immediately, but considered it for a moment.

"Don't make fun of my old friend Danzo!" Sandai said again, obviously still remembering Aoba's prevarication at that time.

"I think from any point of view, Tsunade-sensei is the most suitable person to succeed the 4th generation Hokage." Aoba expressed his true thoughts. There is nothing that cannot be said. Regarding the topic of Naruto, Aoba is now

Regardless of their strength, status, or merit, they are all qualified to express their opinions.

"Tsunade, your master is indeed the most suitable, but it's a pity that she is unwilling." The third generation sighed. Tsunade was of course the best choice. The third generation asked Tsunade's opinion more than once, but was rejected every time.

Sandai's expression at this time was not that of a village ruler, but that of an old father who was worried about his children.

He has raised the Sannin since they were young, and emotionally they are master and disciple, more like father and son than father and daughter.

Regarding Tsunade, the third generation still had some guilt in his heart, so he was unwilling to do anything to force Tsunade.

"Actually, I think Tsunade-sensei has already decided in her heart that she wants to succeed Hokage, but maybe she hasn't realized it yet."

Aoba thought that the Third Hokage was careless, otherwise he would have been able to see clearly. After some hesitation, he decided to point out the matter. The Fourth Hokage must be Tsunade. From the time Tsunade actually cooperated with Orochimaru to develop the resurrection technique,

This outcome is determined.

"Well, how do you say this?" Sandai still couldn't figure out his thoughts for a while.

"Only those who are recognized by everyone can become Hokage." Aoba used a famous saying to tactfully remind him.

"Huh?" Sandai thought thoughtfully.

"Tsunade-sama and Orochimaru-sama have not yet completed their research on the resurrection technique." Aoba didn't say much, he believed that the third generation could figure it out.

"That's right!" Sandai suddenly realized that this qualified politician figured it out in an instant after getting enough hints.

Tsunade is now bent on researching the resurrection technique, so she needs Konoha's resource support.

Therefore, if the resurrection technique is not developed, Tsunade will not leave Konoha, and if the resurrection technique is developed, Tsunade will not leave Konoha, and if Tsunade does not leave Konoha, she must take over the position of Hokage.

The interior of Konoha is actually very chaotic. There are many internal factions and forces, and the relationships are complicated. Many forces will spontaneously move closer to some powerful people for their own benefit.

It can be said that every candidate for Hokage represents the interests of some groups in Konoha. Among them, Tsunade, the granddaughter of the first generation, a disciple of the third generation, the founder of the medical ninja system, and a Sannin with outstanding military exploits, has the largest interest group behind him.

Huge and most complex.

Only those who are recognized by everyone can become Hokage. To put it another way, after gaining everyone's recognition, whether you want to be Hokage or not is not decided by your own will.

If Tsunade insists on leaving Konoha, then these people can only accept it, but with Tsunade in Konoha, these people absolutely cannot accept that the position of Hokage falls to someone else.

Aoba believes that this is one of the reasons why the three ninjas left Konoha one after another in the original work. As a close friend of Minato, Aoba is very clear that there is no power to invest in Minato at this stage, but they are long-term investments and are optimistic about Minato's future. They are truly determined.

There are only a few supporters behind Minato. Maybe after achieving great achievements, more people will move closer to Minato, but compared to the Sannin, Minato's foundation is still too shallow.

In the original work, the Sannin cannot leave, so after Minato comes to power, Konoha will be in chaos. The forces behind the Sannin will coerce the Sannin and Minato, who was forcibly brought to power by the third generation, to form a confrontation. Then the internal struggle in Konoha will be out of control.

.

"Hahaha." After figuring out the joint, Sandai laughed happily. He felt that the decision to convince Tsunade by letting Aoba become Tsunade's disciple was really the right decision.

At this time, the third generation knew that with Tsunade's wisdom, she must have figured out the key. Even if Tsunade was as obsessed with authority as herself, Orochimaru would remind her.

The third generation of Tsunade is also very clear about Tsunade's character. Tsunade's rejection is probably because she is still a little uncomfortable psychologically and needs others to give her a step up, or to give her a reason to regain her dream of becoming a Hokage.

The three generations have already thought about this reason. "Do you think Dan and Naoki want to see a Tsunade who has given up on her dream of becoming a Hokage, or Tsunade, the fourth generation Hokage of Konoha?"

Aoba also believes that Tsunade herself has always wanted to be Hokage. In the original book, Naruto just said a few words and Tsunade returned to the village to become the fifth generation Hokage. Now she has a suitable reason and there is no problem in becoming the fourth generation Hokage.

Konoha's subsequent struggle over the successor of the Fourth Hokage dissipated at this moment.

The Third Generation didn't mention Minato again, and neither did Aoba. Originally, Aoba and the Third Generation were on the same side when it came to helping Minato ascend.

But now that Tsunade is a more suitable choice, the third generation will naturally not force Minato to be promoted. In the end, forcing Minato to be promoted is really a helpless move.

The Hokage, who is in his early 20s and comes from a commoner background, is too forced to do so. It can be said that he is trying to make things worse.

Tsunade was born in the 13th year of Konoha and is now almost 40. Tsunade has been the Hokage for more than ten years. When Minato truly grows up, he will inherit the position of the Fifth Hokage. This is the perfect inheritance of the Will of Fire.

As for Aoba, Tsunade's rise to the top is only good for him.

Aoba is Tsunade's disciple and adjutant. With Tsunade's hands-off style of acting as a boss, shouldn't some second-five Aoba have the final say in Konoha in the future?

Aoba very much recognized the major decisions made by a little emperor in the basketball world in his previous life, studied them frequently, and fully absorbed the spirit behind them.

At first, Aoba's plan was to star in a script with Minato about brothers coming together to create a prosperous age of Konoha. However, the brothers had their own ideas, and Aoba had no choice but to give up.

So Aoba redesigned the script of having a deep relationship with Tsunade's master and apprentice and creating a glorious Konoha.

And he has prepared the script to renew his relationship with the Watergate brothers after more than ten years.

This is a reference to the idea of ​​​​determining 1, brother basketball, and 2, hometown basketball.

Don’t be shabby for the sake of the championship.

It's a joke, that's what it means anyway.

As for Minato's Hokage dream?

Aoba could only say regretfully: "Minato, you are outstanding, the future is yours!"

Anyway, Aoba was definitely not caring about Minato's behavior of betraying himself in front of the third generation.

I, Aoba, am not the kind of person who cares about every detail.

After figuring out the most troublesome issue of the heir, Sandai was in a good mood. He and Aoba had tea instead of wine, and the ensuing dinner was a great time for both the guests and the host.

But the two of them didn't drink because there was an old man waiting for Aoba to deal with later.
