Konoha's traitor master

Chapter 78

The night is getting darker, and in Qingye's home, the tea sets have been removed and replaced with wine glasses and snacks.

The third generation took off his royal robe, held a pipe in his mouth, drank wine, and chatted with Aoba.

Sandai, who thought he had figured out the truth behind the loan, relaxed his mind that had been tense for a few days and regained his trust in Aoba.

The third generation is very clear that Aoba's existence is too important to the current Konoha.

So he stayed and drank some wine with Qingye to repair the relationship.

As for the conflict between nobles and ninjas, the third generation has made it very clear that the gap in power is too big to imagine.

"Qingye, you know how to enjoy yourself, this wine is good." After going through a process of 'repairing misunderstandings', the third generation became much closer to Qingye.

"Haha, this is a limited edition. It's a waste of effort. If it wasn't to entertain you, I wouldn't take it out!" Qingye laughed. Drinks are a hugely profitable industry. The Chamber of Commerce calls them limited editions. As the boss behind the scenes, he

Of course there will be no shortage.

Sandai gave Aoba a look.

"Two bottles, no more." Aoba said cooperatively. He knew that Sandai didn't really want Aoba's wine, but was using this method to express his closeness.

The two of them drank until midnight, and Aoba helped Sandai walk to the door.

In fact, with their shadow-level physiques, drinking Japanese sake is not much different from drinking water. They are just tipsy at this time.

This is also Aoba's way of expressing intimacy.

"Okay, no need to send it off." Sandai stood up straight and patted Aoye's hand, took a slow step forward, turned his back to Aoye and said slowly: "Today's young people are really amazing.

?”

"I'm not as old as you." Aoye didn't understand what Sandai meant for a while, so he returned respectfully.

"Young people have very good ideas. I will support you from behind." After the third generation said that, he put on the Hokage's hat and walked forward along the street, full of momentum.

From nowhere, several ANBU teleported to a short distance from the third generation, and protected him from leaving.

After the figure disappeared, Qingye returned to the room.

"It turns out it's a declaration of war." Aoba shook his head. During the entire process when the third generation came to visit, neither of them mentioned the fourth generation's election, but the third generation's appearance in front of Aoye meant that the third generation had decided to abdicate.

But it is obvious that the third generation does not intend to completely delegate power to Tsunade.

The last appearance of the Third Generation is for Aoba to see. Recently, all the forces in Konoha have become active under Aoba's methods.

But only one of Konoha's most important forces has remained silent.

That is the ANBU directly under the Third Generation. These ANBU ninjas are the most elite group of ninjas in Konoha, and they are also die-hard loyalists of the Third Generation.

Even if the third generation abdicates, as long as the third generation does not relent, no one can take away the command of this ANBU.

The third generation recognized Aoba's methods and could see that Tsunade's ascendancy was the general trend. In fact, he also hoped to see Tsunade take over as Hokage.

So after confirming that Aoba would not harm Konoha, the third generation was ready to abdicate.

Abdicating does not mean delegating power!

The third generation now regards Aoba and Tsunade as rivals in the political arena. Many of the policies formulated by Aoba and Tsunade are contrary to the third generation's policies.

His meaning is very clear, I will support you with the Anbu behind you, but if I feel that you are doing something wrong, I also have the ability to object.

If you want power, find a way to defeat me. If you win, it will be yours. If you can't defeat me, it means you young people are not good enough.

.....

Early in the morning, Tsunade's office at Konoha Hospital.

"Huh? This old man!" Tsunade, who was still looking down on her aunt, said with an unhappy look on her face, just like her daughter who didn't get her pocket money.

Aoba just finished telling Tsunade about the Third Generation's visit yesterday, focusing on describing how the Third Generation declared war. To be honest, he was pretended by the Third Generation's gesture, and Aoba was a little unhappy, so he shared it with Tsunade.

This move is called pressure transfer.

After all, this is mainly a matter between the two generations of Hokage, and what does it have to do with Aoba, the future root leader.

"How sure are you of defeating that old man Danzo?" Tsunade quickly calmed down and looked at Aoba with a dangerous look.

Tsunade is not as naive as Minato. She comes from a wealthy family like Senju, and her two grandfathers are both Hokages. Tsunade has enough understanding of politics.

In the original book, Minato's acceptance of the 4th Hokage at that point in time was really a naive thing to the extreme.

Konoha's power can be divided into just a few areas: Anbu, Roots, Clan, and Common People.

The Anbu is in the hands of the third generation, and the roots are in the hands of Danzo. The family ninjas have a large number and complex relationships, which are difficult to integrate and utilize. The civilian ninjas are weak and have no say.

After Minato came to power, it was difficult to achieve anything without the support of powerful forces.

For the current Tsunade, the situation will of course be much better. First of all, as a medical ninja, although she has a complicated background, she will basically support Tsunade unconditionally. As for the family ninja, Tsunade relies on the political legacy left by the Senju clan and the experience she has accumulated over the years.

Thanks to the favor, and now the support of Hinata and Uchiha, it can be said that he controls most of the family's ninja power.

With Aoba on the civilian ninja side, there are ways to win over them.

However, these forces together do not account for more than half of the forces, because the ninjas of these forces exist in the form of small teams during non-war times. Although there are many people, they are not organized, and they do not hold too many functional positions.

The two forces with the greatest say in Konoha are the Anbu and the Roots. These two forces have fixed numbers and hold a lot of power.

Looking at the third generation, even if the third generation abdicates, he can still control the ANBU. Secondly, a large part of the family ninjas are still die-hards of the third generation. Although they will support Tsunade as the fourth generation Hokage, it does not mean that in the conflict between Tsunade and the third generation.

I will always be on Tsunade's side.

In addition, Danzo and Tsunade don't get along at all, but they are good friends of the third generation, and they will definitely stand on the third generation's side when making decisions.

The final result is that it is still difficult for Tsunade to resist the will of the third generation.

Therefore, Tsunade is in great need of an elite force that will absolutely support her direct lineage.

The Anbu of the Third Generation were not easy to attack, so they naturally focused on Danzo's roots.

Tsunade knew that Aoba was the dark child planted by the Third Generation in the Roots, and also knew that Aoye had the ambition to replace Danzo, so the best way she thought of to check and balance the Third Generation was to make Aoye the leader of the Roots.

If you add the roots, Tsunade also controls most of Konoha's power, and has the ability to compete with the third generation.

"If Tsunade-sama can cooperate, 100%" Aoba immediately became energetic when he said this, patting his chest and said.

"Tell me about your plan." Tsunade said calmly, her cold aunt's face was quite lethal.

Qingye did not answer directly, but first channeled a scroll.

"Tsunade-sama, please take a look at this information first." Aoye's tone was a little heavy, and he handed the scroll to Tsunade. This is Danzo's black material that Aoba has collected since his debut.

What stands out about the root's action pattern is that he is decisive in killing, and would rather kill the wrong one than let it go.

Aoba cannot count the number of unjust, false and wrongful convictions.

Therefore, Aoba has always been certain that as long as Tsunade is in power, she will find a way to get Danzo. Tsunade's core idea of ​​​​ruling is to protect her companions.

And Danzo would kill him directly if he had any suspicion.

The two people's ideas are completely opposite and it is impossible to reconcile them.

"These two damn old men!" Tsunade slammed the table hard, and the entire solid wood desk was smashed to pieces.

Why two? Because based on Aoba's information, Tsunade can easily draw a conclusion - Danzo's unscrupulousness and the third generation's connivance must bear at least half of the blame!

Seeing Tsunade's murderous eyes, Aoba felt very happy.

How can the power struggle between two generations of Hokage make the master-disciple relationship so deep that it doesn’t smell like fire?
