Konoha's traitor master

Chapter 93

The atmosphere in the conference room of the Hokage Building finally turned serious.

"Aoba?" Koharu and Mito Monobu were very surprised.

"I'm sorry that I kept hiding this from the two elders, but Qingye's code name at the root is Koala." Qingye took the initiative to explain.

Among the people present, only these two elders were still unclear.

In fact, this is the disadvantage of the fence-sitting faction. It seems that they have both sides, but in fact no party will regard the fence-sitting faction as one of its own.

Mito Monobu and Koharu Kaden are both old foxes, and they immediately figured out the Sandai's plan.

If the third generation proposed that the koala be the root leader, this would undoubtedly be the most suitable candidate.

There is a high probability that the proposal will be passed unanimously.

But if Koala is equal to Aoba, and the third generation is made public at this time, then he has an idea.

This means we need to unite ourselves to cut the roots!

Then the two looked at each other and confirmed each other's plans.

That is the third generation of this wave of stations.

Because Aoba's age is indeed too young.

The way for the two of them to survive at the top is to start from the most conservative perspective and think about the direction that is most beneficial to Konoha.

Support whichever proposal better meets the above conditions.

It will definitely not work for Aoba to take charge at this age. This is not just a matter of qualifications.

"Now that the Sandaime has made the proposal, let's start expressing our opinions on Aoba's appointment as the leader of the Roots." Mito Kabuto pushed up his glasses.

"Let me tell you first, although Aoba's ability is obvious to all, but he is too young. I think Aoba is not able to take on the important responsibility of the root for the time being." Koharu and Mito Monobu sang in harmony and first raised their objections.

Then the two elders and the third generation began to perform together. The third generation argued hard and emphasized Aoba's contribution, but the two elders objected in various ways.

Then the third generation brought the topic to weakening the power of the root and reducing Aoba's pressure, so that Aoba would be more qualified to take up the job.

The two elders also discussed this.

The cooperation between the three of them is very tacit. In the past, the Dove faction in Konoha was very powerful, and the two elders basically sided with the Third Generation.

Danzo was often slapped on the table in high-level meetings because of this attitude of the three of them.

Qingye watched it with gusto, the large-scale reality show was exciting.

Although it was not the first time she had seen him, Tsunade couldn't help but slap the table at this kind of unscrupulous politician behavior.

If they don't slap the table, the three of them can discuss and remove the entire power from the root.

"I am opposed to splitting the power of the root. I believe that Aoba is capable enough to bear the heavy burden of the root." According to the plan, Tsunade began to act as a master who protects the calf.

The third generation finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Tsunade enter the stage. Tsunade is the current Hokage after all. If she doesn't enter the stage, the show won't be able to continue.

Then several people expressed their opinions several times.

When it comes to debate, Tsunade is no opponent, but Tsunade can defend.

"Then as usual, let's vote!" Sandai finally concluded.

"Vote." Tsunade didn't hesitate.

The third generation showed his trademark smile and thought to himself: "Tsunade, you still have a lot to learn on the road to becoming Hokage."

He believed that he would definitely win if he voted.

His and Tsunade's votes canceled each other out.

Two elders means two votes, and Minato has one vote, so it means three votes.

The third generation did not get the commitment of Orochimaru and Jiraiya. These two people have been elusive recently, and the third generation has not found anyone in a short period of time.

However, Tsunade's side has been unable to eliminate these two people outside the village recently, so the overall situation is decided!

But Aoye, who was standing behind Tsunade, smiled in his heart. Although Tsunade was not in Konoha during this period, with the help of Minato's Flying Thunder God, Aoye was not idle in traveling between the two places.

After a short voting process, the final result was a tie as Aoba expected.

Three generations and two elders voted in favor.

Jiraiya abstained from voting. He would never participate in such an incident. He was here today just to prepare to say goodbye, but he ended up running into a meeting.

Tsunade and Orochimaru voted against it.

Qingye has already reached a deal with Uncle Snake, and included in the deal support for him to ascend to the position of leader.

So Uncle Snake chose to side with Qingye this time.

Watergate also voted against it.

"The result of the vote is a tie, so this proposal will be put on hold for the time being as usual." Mito Kadobu said calmly, acting very impartially.

The third generation's expression suddenly became solemn, Orochimaru and Minato were both pawns that he planned to use to contain Tsunade's power.

Two people stabbing each other in the back at the same time is something that Sandai would never have imagined.

Especially Minato, this is his designated heir!

Qingye was very happy about this, and his thoughts couldn't help but return to that morning.

Recently, he takes Minato's Flying Thunder God to work every day.

Well, wherever I go, I have to work.

Therefore, the two of them communicated more.

In the early morning of the third day after Danzo's death, Aoba finished the work on the roots early.

It was still early, so the two chatted for a while in the early morning woods.

"Congratulations on finally taking the position of the root." Minato always thought that Aoba could be the Hokage, but Aoba always insisted on being the leader of the root.

It is also called Roots and Leaves 2.0.

"Hey, it's just a mess like this, who else could I do?" Qingye said it was easy, but in reality it was not that easy. The work of the Roots was actually not easy to carry out. They were a bunch of brainwashed ninjas.

"I believe in your ability." Minato has always been by the third generation's side, so he understands the complexity of the underlying situation, but he does trust Aoba.

"You should officially take office when the fourth generation returns to the village, right? A 17-year-old Konoha high-level executive." Minato sighed with emotion. This was even more exaggerated than his 22-year-old ANBU minister.

"It's probably not that easy." Aoba sighed and briefly introduced the Third Generation's ideas to Minato.

"Don't worry, I will stand by your side. I also have the right to vote!" Minato immediately made a promise to vote.

When it comes to Aoba controlling the roots, Minato showed his support for Aoba because he believed in Aoba's ability and was optimistic that Aoba would bring good changes to the roots.

"Ha, you actually don't side with the third generation? Be careful of your position." Although Aoba was very grateful for Minato's support, he still reminded Minato, and by the way, he mocked Minato for betraying his brothers because of his stance.

"Hahaha." Minato let out a hearty laugh: "You are still thinking about what happened last time."

Minato then explained why he reported the "three battle strategies" provided by Aoba to the third generation.

In fact, Minato's idea was simple, or a little naive.

If Aoba's plan is followed, it will be the best solution for Minato to lead directly to the throne of Hokage.

But according to Minato's own judgment, if the information is given to the village, the Sannin can be saved.

By maximizing the use of this information, the village's losses in the war will be minimized.

Minato's dream of becoming Hokage is very firm, but if giving up his chance to become Hokage can reduce Konoha's sacrifices, Minato would rather not be the Hokage.

As for the impact of this on Aoba, Minato believes that Aoba's ability can handle it well.

Just like in the original work, Minato chose to seal the Nine-Tails into Naruto because he believed that Namikaze Minato's son could overcome the negative effects of becoming a Jinchuriki.

This is different from the third generation's nature of asking others to sacrifice. Minato never thought of sacrificing Naruto's childhood. The darkness of Naruto's childhood was created by the top management of Konoha.

Looking back, Minato revealed that Aoba's plan would not actually bring any bad results to Aoba.

This will only make the top management of Konoha pay more attention to Aoba. The third generation actually accepted Aoba into the Hokage lineage and hinted that Tsunade's acceptance of the disciple happened after Minato informed Aoba of his plan.

From the beginning to the end, Minato never asked Aoba to sacrifice anything.

Listening to Minato's explanation, Aoba gradually understood Minato's thoughts.

Although Minato was greatly influenced by the thoughts of the Third Generation, he was not without his own judgment.

In other words, Minato recognized the will of fire that accepted the "sacrifice" advocated by the third generation as its core.

So most of the time I stand on the side of the third generation.

But he didn't have Sandai's idea of ​​"as long as I think it is beneficial to the village, then you can sacrifice yourself as a member of the village!"

Minato is a very pure "true sacrifice".

He can sacrifice himself at any time to protect his companions and the village.

This is Minato's will.

The third generation talked about the will of fire and then became a pure politician.

But Minato, who received his education in the will of fire, only absorbed the positive thoughts and became a hero.

So Aoba knew that the Third Generation used Minato as a means to check and balance Tsunade, but it was actually a bad move.

Because Minato can understand the situation and has his own judgment and thinking.

Just like now he chooses to support Qingye.

For the sake of the village, he could even give up his plan to reach the Hokage position.

Just being the head of ANBU cannot influence Minato's thoughts.

Returning to the conference room, he looked at the solemn expression on the third generation.

Aoba really wanted to say to the third generation personally: "Sir, times have changed!"

...

...

...

In the end, he became the top three
