Konoha's traitor master

Chapter 89

When Aoba came to the root hall, the third generation was sitting in the main seat, which was Danzo's original position, and there were many ANBU ninjas standing behind him.

Below are the dark root ninjas. They kneel on one knee, their eyes blank, and they stay quietly below, which seems to be a silent resistance.

With the reputation and skill of the third generation, and the assistance of a large number of Anbu, the underlying chaos naturally calmed down quickly.

But soon Sandai discovered that his reputation didn't seem to be that useful at the root.

Although the root ninjas came to the hall to gather obediently, the third generation could see that these people obviously had no intention of listening to his orders.

"Koala meets the Third Generation." Aoba came to the Third Generation and saluted.

Aoba needed to deal with the unconscious Root Ninja and also notified Fugaku to cooperate, so he spent a lot of time and arrived much later than the third generation.

Aoba is not surprised that the third generation appears here. If the third generation wants to continue to control the power of Konoha, they must continue to have an absolute majority of votes among the top leaders of Konoha.

Danzo is dead, and it is impossible for the third generation to let the roots become a department completely controlled by Tsunade.

And the roots cannot be messed up. With the help of Qingye, the development of the roots is much better than in the original work, so there is more work to do.

"Koala, you came just in time." Sandai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Aoba coming.

Although Aoba is now on Tsunade's side, he is Aoba's old leader after all. Different political views does not mean that cooperation cannot be achieved.

He believes that Qingye is a talented person who understands the general picture.

There are a lot of tasks in Konoha that are undertaken by the roots. In addition to the collection and transmission of internal and external intelligence, part of the village's defense and some obscure affairs are all the work of the roots.

So the first thing to do now is to get the roots back to normal functioning.

But before Sandai could give orders to Aoba, he was interrupted by the root ninja below.

"Meet Koala-sama." After seeing Aoba wearing a root mask, the ninjas in the Roots neatly and respectfully saluted Aoye as if they had found a backbone.

In the eyes of the Root ninjas, Aoba is Danzo's absolute confidant and think tank, and he is also the legendary ace intelligence agent of the Roots. Many orders and tasks are issued from Aoba.

Compared to the third generation, the 'koalas' at the root are the ones they truly trust.

Seeing this scene, Sandai's eyes narrowed, and he had some bad premonitions.

Aoba's face hidden under the mask had a hint of smile.

Genbu Aoba has been planning for so long, how could he let Sandai pick peaches?

In Aoba's plan for the roots, there are two endings for Danzo.

The main idea is to support Tsunade or Minato to come to power, use Danzo's black materials to force the older generation of senior executives to acquiesce in the new Hokage's removal of Danzo's position, and then recommend Aoba to come to power, but Danzo will definitely not be willing to give in.

At this time, Danzo has two different choices corresponding to Danzo's two endings.

One is that Danzo is hiding in Konoha, secretly using his influence over the roots to engage in internal fighting with Aoba. Behind Aoba is Tsunade, but behind Danzo there are also three generations.

Then Aoba will plan to incite public opinion in Konoha, expose the darkness of the root and Danzo's ambition, completely ruin Danzo's reputation, force the third generation and Danzo to separate, and finally the fourth generation Hokage orders the removal of the root.

The root reward, Qingye, has been obtained.

It's a pity, but what Aoba needs is a completely controlled root.

If it can't be used by you, it's better to cancel it.

In the end, Danzo can save his life, but the end result is that he will be burdened with infamy and spend the rest of his life in a quiet place, so Aoba doesn't mind caring for Danzo in his old age.

Because choosing this path means that in the end Danzo has no determination to kill Aoba.

Danzo's other option is to take a desperate risk and kill the Hokage, and leave the village to deal with Tsunade and Aoba.

Aoba actually always felt that this path was more likely to be chosen by Danzo.

This is Danzo's style. He would rather kill the wrong person than let go. Instead of trying to solve the trouble, it is better to directly deal with the person who caused the trouble.

Then Danzo's fate is death. If Danzo has murderous intentions, then Aoba will naturally not be merciful.

But Aoba will choose to preserve part of Danzo and Nebe's reputation.

Because Danzo is dead, Aoba can take over Danzo's legacy and completely control the roots.

Life or reputation, this is the multiple-choice question Aoba left to Danzo.

Of course, Danzo knew that as long as he was still in Konoha, his life would never be in danger, but Danzo was greedy and wanted both his life and reputation, so he chose the path of assassinating Hokage.

He thought he was very stable with hundreds of elites, but in fact Qingye was the face of the flying dragon, and he didn't know how to lose.

"Everyone stand up." Aoba said calmly. As soon as he finished speaking, the root ninjas stood up neatly and stood upright waiting for Aoba's next order.

Danzo's true legacy is the ninjas who were brainwashed by Danzo.

Aoba's "koala" vest has never been lost, and Aoba can use this vest to accept Danzo's legacy.

The only people who knew that Aoba was equal to the 'koala' were the Sandai, the Sannin, and Minato. Even the other two elders of Konoha didn't know the truth.

At the root, Danzo is the only one. Even before falling out, Danzo always believed that he was the only one who knew Aoba's true identity.

Danzo's assassination of the Hokage was an extremely confidential matter, and only the accompanying elites knew about it, and these ninjas had all been controlled by Aoba.

The few remaining elite die-hards who knew the situation were already in chaos and were secretly controlled by Aoba's cronies.

When Aoba didn't fall out with Danzo, Danzo, in order to keep Aoba's credit at the root, vigorously publicized the ability, merit and loyalty of the 'koala' both internally and externally.

After Aoba and Danzo fell out, the Third Generation reversed Aoba's dismissal, and Danzo could not immediately remove Aoba's vest.

However, in Danzo's opinion, as long as the assassination of Aoba is successful, all problems can be solved.

This has led to the fact that now that Danzo is dead, no one knows that the 'koala' is no longer Danzo's confidant.

In the eyes of the Root ninjas, 'Koala' is still the intelligence squad leader who brought brilliant achievements to the Roots in the three wars, and is the successor of the Roots who inherited Danzo's will.

"All departments in the Roots obey orders, disband on the spot, and return to their respective posts." Aoba turned around, faced the ninjas in the Roots, and gave the order loudly.

Then his acting skills exploded, he took a test, and said in a hoarse voice: "I will investigate Danzo-sama's matter to the end. Don't forget the mission of our root ninjas and go to work!"

"I obey." Genbu's eyes regrouped into what looked like a pool of stagnant water, but contained a state of fanaticism.

Ignoring the presence of An and Sandai, he left the hall in an orderly manner and headed to his work station.

From this moment on, their loyalty shifted from the late Danzo to Danzo's successor, the Koala.

The third generation looked at the scene in front of him coldly, with a very cold expression.

Things went beyond his expectation, and the ninjas at his core didn't even have the slightest respect for him, the Third Hokage.

And he also knows who is the person who caused this result.

It was his close friend, the recently deceased leader of the Roots, Danzo!

"Sandaime-sama, all Nebu members have returned to their posts. Do you have any other instructions?" After most of the Nebu ninjas exited the hall, Aoba turned to face the Sandaime and asked respectfully.
