Konoha's traitor master

The day after the party, Aoba came to the Hyuga clan's mansion.

Among the remaining candidates for the Hokage's bodyguard, he plans to give one of the spots to the Hyuga clan.

When he first persuaded Hinata to send troops, he promised to give Hinata a place as an ANBU member of the Hinata clan. In the general election, Hinata also chose to exclusively support Tsunade very early.

In addition, Aoba also needs to consider checking and balancing Uchiha. Becoming the Hokage's bodyguard means becoming the Hokage's confidant.

There are now two Uchihas in the guard, Shisui and Obito. If Hinata is not there, some bad information will be sent to the caring people in the village.

What's more, the Hyuga clan itself is very suitable to be a bodyguard. With a blind eye open, the risk of being ambushed is basically eliminated.

Qingye hopes that this journey will not be uneventful.

The main reason why only one place is given is that the Hyuga family really does not have a suitable candidate.

It is impossible for the Zong family to serve as a guard, so they can only divide the family. Qingye can only make up for the daily difference.

Although the Hyuga family has many elites, not everyone can be the Hokage's confidant.

If nothing unexpected happens, Hizashi's son Neji will be Aoba's second apprentice.

It can be considered a close relationship.

After entering the door, Nizu still entertained Aoye according to the etiquette of a large family, and after going through the process, he retreated.

However, Aoba stopped Hizashi.

"Hizu, Tsunade-sama needs to leave for the Land of Fire the day after tomorrow. Tsunade-sama ordered me to form two escort teams. Who do you think is more suitable for Hinata?" Aoba asked straight to the point. Compared with Fugaku, Aoba

He talks more casually with Rizu.

It can be said that Hizu is the only person in Konoha who vaguely knows that Aoye has another influence outside the village, and has many private transactions with Aoye.

"Then let's go with Hizashi." Hizu said calmly, Aoba even kept Hizashi, the meaning was very clear.

However, Hizu really hopes that Hizashi will become the Hokage's bodyguard and step out of the prison of Hinata's mansion to take a look.

Rizu doesn't usually show it to others, but he is actually very affectionate towards his younger brother.

At least before his daughter was born, his younger brother Hizashi had a very high status in Hizashi's heart.

As Hizu's bodyguard, Hizashi could only stay with Hizu in the Hinata house except when he went to the battlefield.

Originally, Hizashi was very worried about the treatment of the family division, and Hizashi's elder brother was very worried.

"Then it's Hizashi." Aoye is somewhat curious about Hizashi, the person at the center of the original novel who is full of resentment but ultimately chooses to die for his brother.

Now the fourth Hokage is Tsunade. If the Kingdom of Thunder dares to cause trouble, Tsunade dares to go to war. Her philosophy is completely different from that of the third generation.

There will definitely not be a plot involving Hizashi's death, so what kind of sparks will the two brothers collide with? Aoba is very curious.

Qingye knew that Hizu's secret deal with him was largely for the sake of daily profit.

...

After confirming the manpower of Hizashi, Aoba did not stay in Hinata for a long time and came to Nara's house.

Because he had made an appointment in advance, Aoba successfully met the current patriarch of the Nara family.

The final puzzle piece of the Hokage Guards prepared by Aoba is Ino Shikacho, Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza and Yamanaka Kaiichi. The three of them are currently in their early twenties and are about the same age as Minato. They have already established certain achievements in the three battles and are beginning to gain fame.

Obviously, he is very suitable to serve as Tsunade's guard for a few years.

Kakashi's team is still a bit young, and they were brought in more for the purpose of training and protection.

In this way, Aoba gathered 8 people. Aoba will accompany him on this trip, but he cannot serve as the Hokage's bodyguard for a long time.

And among the 8 people, Rin is a commoner, Kakashi is a small family ninja, Obito and Shisui are Uchiha, Hizashi is Hinata, and Ino Shikacho represents the family ninja. The composition of the members is very reasonable.

There are a few civilian ninjas, but Aoba is from a civilian background.

However, the Ino, Deer, and Butterfly clan are supporters of the third generation and may not easily agree to Aoba's recruitment.

Although none of the three clans are top-notch clans individually, they are connected by the same spirit, and together they are no weaker than Hyuga Uchiha in terms of regular combat power.

At the same time, because the three clans have outstanding military exploits but keep a low profile, they are deeply trusted by all the clan forces.

Of course Aoba is here to poach someone.

"Lord Aoba, what are you doing here?" the head of the Nara family asked, he was a little curious.

He knew that Aoye must be here to poach someone, but if Tsunade could give it, the third generation could give it to him. What conditions would Aoye prepare to impress him?

"I heard that the Nara clan's wisdom is extraordinary and is quite popular in Konoha, so Tsunade-sama has a policy regarding the family's ninjas and would like to consult the Nara clan leader." Aoba said with a very humble compliment.

Here, it’s time for acting again.

"Haha, Aoba-sama's wisdom is amazing." The Nara clan leader said this very sincerely. He is an old fox. As one of the trusted advisors of the third generation, he basically understands Aoba's operations.

He would not underestimate the young man in front of him and said politely: "But since it is Tsunade-sama's order, let's communicate."

"In this war, Konoha was fighting on all sides, and there was a serious shortage of troops. The situation can be said to be very critical." Aoba first started with the situation of the third war, and said very devotedly.

"That's true." The Nara clan leader sighed in a very cooperative manner. As the third generation's core supporter, Ino Shikacho contributed a lot in this battle, but also suffered a lot in the battle.

"Fortunately, the whole village worked together and finally won the victory. The righteous deeds of the family ninjas who stepped forward in times of crisis moved Tsunade-sama deeply." Aoba changed the topic to the family ninjas.

The Nara clan chief has very high intelligence, and he can tell that Aoba is not just trying to poach the third generation.

This is a family ninja who wants to win over the entire Konoha!

He put away his exaggerated acting skills and put on a serious expression: "Aoba-sama, if you have something to say, just say it. What are you going to do, Tsunade-sama?"

"In order to protect the interests of family ninjas who have contributed to the village, Tsunade-sama is planning to establish a department specifically to manage affairs related to family ninjas who are no longer in charge - the Family Affairs Management and Welfare Security Office, referred to as the Family Office." Aoba smiled.

He said his bait.

This is a very tempting bait. Among the several types of ninjas in Konoha, the ANBU has ministers, the root also has leaders, and the ninjas on staff have the jounin squad leader. These three positions are high positions with voting rights for major decisions, so these

The ninja's interests are usually guaranteed.

But there is actually no benefit protection for family ninjas who are not in charge.

In the Ninja World War that just ended, the family ninjas contributed a lot, but whether they can realize the military achievements they sacrificed their lives for will still need some work.

At this point, even civilian ninjas are stronger than family ninjas, because civilian ninjas have no other opportunities to be exposed to ninjutsu and are mainly trained through ninja schools, so civilian ninjas are basically training ninjas.

However, because many family ninjas have not gone through ninja school, and due to the policy of suppressing second and third generations, the channels for obtaining numbers are very limited.

In fact, the reason for this phenomenon can be said to be half and half between Konoha and the family. Konoha has established a strategy to support civilians since the second generation and started a suppressive policy for decades, and the family did not want to change it at first.

Most of them play by themselves.

Tsunade has no prejudice against family ninjas and civilian ninjas. As long as she contributes to Konoha, Tsunade is willing to protect his interests.

And for Aoba and Tsunade, proposing this policy has many benefits. First of all, Tsunade can gain more support from the ninja family.

Secondly, after the family office was established, on the one hand, the interests of the family ninjas were protected, but on the other hand, the village also had a way to directly manage the family ninjas.

To enjoy the rights, of course, you also need to bear obligations.

"What is the level of this department?" The Nara clan leader's eyes shrank, and he was moved.

"Same as the ninja class." Aoba calmly took a sip of tea and took the bait. The level of the ninja class means that the person in charge of the family office has a high-level seat in Konoha.

The most important role of this strategy for Tsunade and Aoba is to add a seat at the decision-making level.

The third generation introduced Orochimaru to the decision-making team, so of course Aoba can also introduce family ninjas into the field.

Although the third generation came from a family, they have always implemented strategies to suppress the family, while Tsunade also came from a big family, but she proposed policies that were beneficial to the family's ninjas.

You can imagine which side the family ninjas will take.
