Konoha's traitor master

Chapter 65

Kawa no Kuni, Konoha Camp.

In Orochimaru's camp, Orochimaru and Tsunade rarely stayed in the laboratory, but sat neatly together with Aoba for a meeting.

In the past, Aoba, as a junior, could only stand on one side, but now he is recognized as a strong man.

The reason that prompted Orochimaru and Tsunade to leave the laboratory was that Sunagakure Village submitted an application for peace talks.

"The Godaime Kazekage hopes for peace talks as soon as he comes to power?" Orochimaru said with great interest, but his eyes fell on Aoba.

The Shadow of a Village was forced to voluntarily abdicate. This was the first time that Orochimaru had seen this happen in the ninja world in decades.

Of course, Aoba doesn't find it strange, after all, the fourth generation Mizukage abdicated in this way in the original work.

"Aoye, what do you think?" Tsunade did not express her opinion directly, but instead asked Aoye for his opinion. She is on the dove side, of course not the almost cowardly attitude of the third generation in her later years, but she will not go for ambition.

Take the initiative to start a war.

Konoha has won this battle, and Sagakure has taken the initiative to withdraw, so peace talks are not unacceptable.

But she wanted to see Qingye's thoughts. After all, she planned to use Qingye as her secretary later.

"Peace talks are possible, but..." Qingye paused.

Orochimaru also turned his attention to Aoba, he felt that Aoba probably wouldn't say those words that would make him feel bored.

Orochimaru is the only hawk among the high-ranking people from the Hokage lineage, the other is Danzo.

That's why Danzo chose to invest in Orochimaru's candidacy for Hokage.

"However, Sunagakure Village must agree to three conditions: surrender, apology, and compensation." Aoba slowly uttered the following words.

After listening, Orochimaru's eyes burst out with strong interest. In his opinion, Aoba's conditions were insulting Sunagakure Village and forcing Sunagakure Village to give up the peace talks with Konoha.

After all, although Sunagakure Village suffered heavy losses and retreated, it was not completely incapable of fighting, and Konoha was actually not sure about fighting in the Land of Wind.

"Tell me your reasons." Tsunade said noncommittally.

"First of all, Sunagakure Village is an invader, and the war was initiated by Sunagakure Village. Secondly, Sunagakure Village cannot afford to delay it. Konoha has ceased war on all battlefields. The Country of Fire is rich and its logistics capabilities can fully support a large number of troops on the border.

Garrison, but Sand Hidden Village can be towed

I can't afford it. So surrender, apology, and compensation must not be less than a single condition." Aoye explained calmly that in Aoye's heart, Konoha is also an important asset to him, and he cannot help but attack Sunagakure Village if he wants to, or if he doesn't want to.

A truce can be reached without paying any conditions.

Although all countries have ceased war at present, except for the Kirigakure Village, which is isolated overseas and can directly escape by boat, the troops of other countries are still stationed at the border.

Unless a formal peace treaty is signed, countries will not dare to completely withdraw their troops.

If Konoha does not leave Kawa no Kuni for a day, the army of Sunagakure Village will have to stay at the border.

"Okay, you're quite a bit bloody." Tsunade finally showed a satisfied smile, she was about to become Hokage.

So you, Sunagakure Village, can touch my Konoha?

Tsunade has such a bad temper.

"It's interesting." Orochimaru touched his chin. He already agreed with Aoba's analysis. According to the current situation, it is indeed unlikely that the Kingdom of Wind will continue to drag on, which means that no matter how harsh the conditions are, Sunagakure Village

All may be accepted.

Interestingly, for Orochimaru, if Sunagakure Village agrees to Aoba's three conditions, then the peace talks will be completely acceptable even to him, a hawk.

Although Orochimaru is a hawk, Uncle Snake's idea is to use all means, including war, to obtain more resources to develop Konoha.

It's not the extreme idea of ​​starting a war, destroying the four countries, and unifying the ninja world.

By following Aoba's conditions, Konoha already has a good reputation, so what else does he need for a bicycle?

"Then let's reply to Sunagakure Village like this. Aoba, you will do the operation, in the name of Orochimaru." Tsunade made the decision. The specific matter was impossible for Tsunade to do. There was not enough time to do the experiment.

What does Aoba do as an apprentice?

As for using Orochimaru's name, of course it's because Orochimaru is currently the commander of the Kawa no Kuni battlefield.

"Okay, Aoye, go ahead and do it, I'm looking forward to it." Orochimaru also smiled.

After getting down to business, the two people who came out to have some fun returned to the laboratory.

In fact, the key reason why the two of them delegated power to Aoba was that they could not completely make the decision regarding the peace talks.

Aoba shrugged and turned around to think about how to get Sandai, an extreme dove, to agree to his plan.

Although Tsunade is about to become Hokage, she has not really taken office yet. On the major matter of peace talks, both Tsunade and Orochimaru can make suggestions, but only the third generation can make the final decision.

.......

On the top floor of Konoha's Hokage Building, Sarutobi came to the office in a happy mood early in the morning to work.

The war was calmed down and Konoha won a great victory. This will become another glorious chapter in the career of the third Hokage.

Although the third generation did not go to the battlefield, the commanders on every battlefield were his apprentices or disciples.

The third generation believed that his Hokage career was almost complete, as long as he finally found an heir who fully inherited his will.

Then my life can be considered worthy of the previous Hokage.

But this mood disappeared instantly when the third generation opened the first stack of files.

It was a pile of interest payment notices from a loan agreement, although the interest alone was not a figure that Konoha could not afford.

But the principal of the loan and the due date of the principal are thoughtfully written on it.

A competent financial statistician also calculated the total amount of principal and interest and wrote it at the front of the document.

This is of course Aoba's operation. In order to allow Konoha to borrow more, Aoba very considerately provided a repayment method of interest first and principal later.

When Konoha needed a loan, Aoba quickly realized that this was an excellent opportunity.

Although ninjas are powerful, they cannot do without daily necessities. Ninjas do not produce, and most of their supplies are purchased with money.

The first of the three taboos of ninjas is money, but as the leader of a village, he has to deal with money. It is generally difficult to be tough on creditors, especially creditors who cannot default on their debts.

The funds Aoba provided to Konoha were all from the noble background of the Fire Country. As long as Konoha relied on the daimyo to provide funds, Konoha would not dare to default on the debt.

Aoba's purpose is to secretly control Konoha, so adding the identity of a creditor to himself will undoubtedly have huge benefits.

Taking advantage of this, Aoba can influence Konoha's decision-making through some operations at many times.

For example, regarding the conditions for peace talks in Sunagakure Village.

"Hiss~~~" Sandai gasped. This number was certainly familiar to him. He signed the loan contract himself.

But at that time, he only thought that I was going to retire soon anyway, and it was Tsunade who had to worry.

But he didn't expect that the interest bill would already come before Tsunade took office.
