Konoha's traitor master

Chapter 69

At the underground base at the root, Aoba looked thoughtful.

To build momentum for Uncle Snake?

Aoba did not expect that Danzo would entrust such an errand to him. After all, Aoba's official identity was Tsunade's disciple.

However, after thinking about it carefully, I realized that there is nothing wrong with it. Tsunade is a dove, which does not mean that Aoba, as a disciple, must be a dove. Most of the time, matters such as stance have nothing to do with personal relationships.

Aoba has mentioned many times in front of Danzo that Konoha should be forge ahead, so it is normal for Danzo to think that he is a hawk.

After the joint was repaired, Aoba thought for a while and put forward his own suggestion: "I think we can first publicize the losses of various countries in this war."

"Huh?" Danzo motioned to Aoba to explain in detail.

"After the Third Ninja War, all countries suffered heavy losses and were unable to initiate foreign wars for at least 10 years."

"But Konoha's losses are within the tolerable range, which means that Konoha has the ability and qualifications to launch a foreign war." Aoba followed the thoughts of the hawks and introduced the current situation in the ninja world.

"Indeed." Danzo nodded. Of course he could see the current situation clearly, so he hoped that the hawkish Orochimaru could become the Hokage.

"So our purpose of publicizing the situation of various countries is to guide the villagers to realize that Konoha is now stronger than other countries." Aoba paused, and then said gloomily: "Then we will guide the villagers to have the desire for war."

Danzo unconsciously shrank his pupils, he already somewhat understood the core of Aoba's plan to build momentum.

Among the three ninjas, Orochimaru is the one with a special stance, because of Orochimaru's behavior and the fact that Orochimaru is a hawk.

However, LYB continued to calmly let Aoba continue talking.

"The second step of the plan is to make Konoha's current financial situation public, with the purpose of making the villagers feel anxious after the war." Aoba maintained a gloomy tone.

Danzo's eyes showed an attitude of satisfaction, and Aoba no longer needed to continue talking about the rest of the plan.

When the villagers of Konoha became anxious because Konoha had taken on a huge loan.

The negotiations between Konoha and the Sunagakure Village mission must have been completed, and by then the Sunagakure Village's war reparations agreement will be made public.

Danzo could imagine how many villagers would burst out with a desire for war.

And who brought this thirst-quenching reparation agreement?

It is none other than Orochimaru, the commander of the battlefield in the Kingdom of Wind!

"Well, in the early stages, we should also promote Orochimaru's ambition and cruelty." Danzo added in a calm tone.

"Your Excellency, you must have considered it carefully." Aoba flattered him unabashedly, although this was originally a step that Aoba left to Danzo to supplement.

Aoba often does this kind of thing, and Danzo is good at it.

The words ambition and cruelty are not derogatory terms when used for ninjas, but are even more complimentary for a hawkish character.

"Then let's do it like this." Danzo calmly accepted the flattery.

...

After Aoba left, Danzo was thinking about Aoba's plan.

It can be seen that this plan will help Tsunade to a certain extent.

But the fundamental reason for Danzo to agree to the plan is that as long as this plan is implemented, some ninjas will definitely change their minds and join the hawks.

This can be seen as a hawkish recruitment plan.

In Danzo's view, if the third generation does not want to give up, then the struggle for the fourth generation Hokage's position will be a protracted battle, and it is not Orochimaru and Tsunade's personal reputation that ultimately determines the outcome.

It's the hawks and doves, which faction can dominate Konoha.

Tsunade's invincible reputation is based on the fact that Konoha's dove faction is in an absolutely dominant position.

Only if the hawks can truly rise can Orochimaru have the possibility of winning.

So the remaining question is, why would Aoba propose such a plan to himself that is obviously beneficial to Tsunade?

Danzo did not immediately suspect Aoba's rebellion, because in Danzo's impression, Aoba was always flawless in his work.

He has great confidence in Qingye's ability. If Qingye really wants to rebel, he will do it in a flawless manner.

However, Aoba always likes to leave half of his work, Danzo thought, although Danzo likes the parts that Aoba deliberately left for himself to supplement, he still knows it in his heart.

Danzo thought carefully about whether there was anything else in Aoba's plan that he didn't see.

Then he took a deep breath, and he finally thought of Aoba's next move!

.......

The night breeze was blowing, and Aoba was walking while reviewing his conversation with Danzo.

He focused on reviewing the plan he had improvised to build momentum for Orochimaru.

Aoba added some private goods to this plan, and it can actually be linked to the plan to build momentum for Tsunade.

The first step is to publicize the losses of other countries, let the villagers actively care about the losses of Konoha, and guide the villagers through the gap between the losses between the enemy and ourselves.

Regarding the issue of medical ninjas, Aoba can be inserted into this process without leaving any trace.

As for the follow-up promotion of the Wind Country's war reparations, while promoting Orochimaru, Tsunade could also gain an increase in reputation from it.

After all, Tsunade's contribution to the battlefield of Kawanoguni cannot be erased by anyone.

With Aoba here, no one will ignore Tsunade's contribution.

"I wonder which level Danzo saw?" Aoba muttered. He never underestimated Danzo's intelligence.

So he was sure that Danzo would definitely find out that this plan was beneficial to Tsunade.

But Aoba knows that Danzo is suspicious by nature and will definitely figure out his own hidden meaning.

Then through the clues left by Aoba, Danzo will notice an idea that Aoba wants to convey to Danzo - to pull Tsunade into the Hawks Faction.

Aoba guided Tsunade to make the Sunagakure Village sign an unequal treaty first.

Danzo could easily have the idea that Aoba's actions were pulling Tsunade into the hawk sect.

And it’s not impossible to succeed!

Among the Sannin, it seems that Jiraiya and Tsunade are both doves, but this is just a dovish stance made by the two of them for the sake of the stability of Konoha.

In fact, none of the Sannin truly inherited the dovish will of the third generation.

Jiraiya is loyal to Konoha, but he is mainly superstitious in his thinking, believing that only the son of prophecy can save the world.

Needless to say, Orochimaru is definitely a hawk.

And Tsunade is actually not a dove. With Tsunade's explosive temper, what kind of dove is she? A fighting dove?

As long as Danzo thinks of this, he will definitely not block Aoba's actions, and may even cooperate secretly.

Even if Tsunade and Danzo are not against each other, as long as Tsunade becomes a member of the same faction, Danzo is not unable to accept compromise with Tsunade.

But Danzo never imagined that the real purpose of everything Aoba planned was to establish Danzo as the root leader.
