Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer Chapter 515 The Prelude to Konohagakure Revolution

"This..."

When Eaton heard Aoba's words, he immediately fell into deep thought. This kind of thing really made his scalp numb.

He was not such a deceitful person.

Now that he's placed in such a situation, he doesn't know how to determine the relationship.

"Isn't it Sandaime-sama?"

Eaton asked tentatively. His logic was very simple. According to common sense, whoever has the greatest loss if something happens will have the greatest benefit if nothing happens.

Risks and profits must be matched!

One person cannot bear the risk while another person reaps the profits.

Moreover.

Hiruzen was the Hokage of the village.

Since Hiruzen would bear the losses, then he would be the one who would reap the profits.

However.

He faintly felt.

The answer was not as simple as he imagined.

Otherwise, Aoba would not have asked him this kind of question.

After Eaton finished speaking, he kept staring at Aoba. He was waiting for Aoba to give him an answer.

Although he was still not very clear about how this answer was related to the Anbu thing that he didn't understand, he was still very curious and wanted to know the answer.

"It was not Sandaime."

Aoba shook his head. He met Eaton's gaze and patiently explained. After all, he was just a shadow clone, and there was nothing else he could do other than draw. It was not a bad thing to be able to sort out Konohagakure's current interests with Eaton.

As he spoke.

A smile appeared on Aoba's face again.

"I understand your way of thinking. If under Sandaime's leadership, we obtained victory in the war and prevented Konohagakure from falling into an awkward situation, then Sandaime would be the one who would gain the most. However, Sandaime did not do anything and just sat in the Hokage's office..."

What Aoba said was not to belittle Hiruzen, but what he said was indeed the truth.

Normally, the Kage of each village should stay in the village and stabilize the overall situation, so that the village would not be in chaos because of the war. However, Hiruzen not only did not help the village but also thought about how to control Hatake Sakumo's achievements, so as not to pose a threat to his position as the Hokage.

It was because of such a thing.

Hiruzen continuously made a suffocating operation.

First, the Anbu ninjas were asked to rush to the front line, which not only resulted in great losses but also missed good opportunities.

Even if Hatake Sakumo became the commander of Konohagakure's Ninja Army, by that time, it was already too late. It was already difficult for Konohagakure to resist Iwagakure.

So...

Not only did Hiruzen not contribute to this battle, but he also made a very serious mistake. These mistakes could cause Konohagakure to fall into an abyss of eternal damnation.

"So..."

"The person who gained the most benefits this time."

"Actually, it was the person who reversed the situation."

"It was precisely because of his existence that Konohagakure avoided falling into an awkward situation because of his appearance..."

"Now, do you know who can get the biggest?"

Aoba said with a smile. At present, all the plans are going according to his pre-planned plan. After he said what he wanted to say, he began to look at Eaton.

"In that case..."

Eaton's eyes suddenly widened. He did not know that Aoba was controlling all of this behind his back. He did not know how much Aoba knew about these things. In his opinion, the news of Minato's return was told by him. Aoba was just analyzing the specific reasons according to what he said.

"Namikaze Minato!"

"Only Minato can bear this glory!"

"If not for Minato's appearance..."

"Konohagakure's Ninja Army might have already been defeated!"

"Even Konoha White Fang, Hatake Sakumo, can't reverse this situation!"

"That's right!"

"It's Namikaze Minato!"

Eaton said one sentence after another. His eyes flashed with realization. After Aoba's reminder, he had already understood where the specific problem was.

Now that he had thought it thoroughly and very clearly.

It was indeed like this!

No one could be more shocking than the performance of Minato in the Third Ninja World War.

After all, Minato's appearance directly saved Konohagakure, which was in extreme danger. Otherwise, Konohagakure would have fallen into another situation.

"Wait..."

"I seem to have understood something!"

"Now our Konohagakure's Ninja Army has won!"

"Minato will obtain the greatest glory, which is the biggest winner of this ninja war. At least, he will be the biggest winner in Konohagakure!"

"When he returns to Konohagakure, what awaits him will be the praise of countless people. Then his momentum will instantly reach the peak, and it is even possible to suppress Sandaime-sama."

"Not only that, Sandaime-sama made a few wrong decisions during the war. But Sandaime-sama was required to preside over the overall situation during the war, so those decisions can be temporarily neglected."

"But when the war ends, it will be the time for the liquidation!"

"Sandaime-sama will become the biggest loser in this ninja war!"

"So... so... so..."

Eaton's breathing became hurried, and his eyes flashed with deep shock. At this time, he deeply realized how sensitive Konohagakure's political power currently was.

"Konohagakure's Hokage is going to change!"

Eaton said this sentence. Even he did not expect himself to say it. If it was in the past, he would not have such a keen sense of smell. But after a few words of warning from Aoba, he suddenly realized the undercurrent surging inside.

"Namikaze Minato is in the limelight!"

"Sandaime-sama has suffered a serious setback!"

"So..."

"in this war, when someone will be going to pay a certain price, then someone will enjoy a certain amount of glory!"

"The Hokage will change, right?"

"Aoba!"

"Tell me!"

"Do you think so too?"

"Oh my god!"

"I can't believe I only reacted now!"

Eaton had a look of disbelief on his face. He felt a trace of annoyance at his dullness.

At the same time.

He thought of something else.

That was, he always thought that the Fourth Hokage would appear in the Konoha Sannin and the first candidate would be Tsunade, followed by Jiraiya...

However.

Looking at it now.

The Konoha Sannin simply did not have the qualifications to inherit the Hokage position.

The reason was very simple.

In the moment of Konohagakure's life and death, not a single one of Konoha Sannin rushed to the front line. In the hearts of the people, this could be regarded as a disregard for the village, thus losing a lot of support.

Of course.

This was not the main reason.

The most fundamental reason was that a younger generation of Konohagakure had already risen. At this time, Minato stood up and took over the scepter of Konohagakure's new era.

It changed!

Everything had changed now!

It was different from what he had imagined!

"You are right."

Aoba nodded. He found that Eaton was still quite smart, but he did not put his mind to these things. Moreover, his sense of smell was not very keen. However, after being reminded, he could immediately make an analysis closer to the truth.

"If there are no accidents, Minato will become the Fourth Hokage, but the premise is that if there is no accident," Aoba added.

"You mean..." The more Eaton thought about it, the deeper he went. Suddenly, it was as if a new world had opened up. Many things that he didn't understand in the past were also understood. Many things that he didn't understand were also gradually understood. So, he then said, "Sandaime-sama might go and create this accident!"

"That's right!" Aoba nodded again.

"Aoba, where is your position?" Eaton immediately realized that it was now time to take sides. He had long been on Aoba's side, so Aoba's position would determine his position and what he would do in the future.

"Minato and I are very good friends," Aoba said lightly. He did not directly answer Eaton's question, but after this sentence, Eaton immediately understood.

"I understand." Eaton nodded heavily, and his face became solemn. When Hiruzen orders Anbu to follow him and Aoba, and the posture when Hiruzen asks him about the medical ninja's identity, really disheartened him. It made him not willing to stand on Hiruzen's side. Now, after hearing Aoba's clear answer, he was even more confident so he said, "I know what I should do."

"I think you still don't understand. Do you understand why Hiruzen approved of your Anbu transfer order?" Aoba smiled and stared at Eaton. He was already happy to guide Eaton and had obtained a very good effect.

"This..."

Eaton suddenly realized that he had come here to ask Aoba about this most fundamental question. He had not yet gotten an answer, but had learned a lot of extra things.

It was these extra things.

On the contrary, it allowed him to see the current situation more clearly, and he could look back at his own problem.

"Let me think about it."

Eaton immediately took a deep breath. His brain began to spin rapidly. If it was in the past, he would definitely not want to think about such things. It would just be a waste of brain cells.

But now it was different.

He had already accepted his identity as the boss of Anbu.

Since he was the boss of Anbu.

In that case, he would also be Konohagakure's higher-ups in the future.

He manages the Anbu, but he is not limited to the Anbu. He is an Anbu who can jump out of the Anbu. He can now be regarded as one of Konohagakure's higher-ups, but he does not have any real power yet.

Because of this.

He now began to think about it.

"Sandaime-sama's change in attitude toward me is not for me personally, but for the Anbu!"

"Now I am the only one who can lead the Anbu. He has no other choice but to trust me!"

"If anyone from the front line becomes the boss of Anbu, then I am almost certain that the person who is more inclined to be put in that position is Minato!"

"It is not an exaggeration to say..."

"Ninjas who come back from the front line will treat him as their savior!"

"Because of that relationship, Sandaime-sama won't use the people who come back from the front line, so he will find a way to stabilize my position as the boss of Anbu and show me his goodwill!"

"I was wondering why he smiled so horribly when he looked at me!"

Eaton quickly analyzed. He had a general idea of what was going on, so he had an answer in his heart for many things he wanted to ask Aoba just now.

"If it's like that..."

"Then Sandaime-sama is not planning to give up the position of Hokage?"

"He wants to compete with Namikaze Minato?"

Eaton thought of this result. After all, no matter how he looked at it, he did not see any intention of Hiruzen stepping down.

He was still doing things as the Hokage.

What Hiruzen did was not a short-term matter, but clearly had implications for the future, including the words he casually said when explaining to him: Come to him anytime if you have any questions, etc...

"You are right!"

Aoba nodded. He patiently listened to all of Eaton's analysis. He silently praised Eaton's explosive analysis ability, and began to add on these things.

"Hiruzen really did not intend to give up on the position of Hokage, so from what I heard, what you encountered was not a simple issue of Anbu transfer order, but a political conspiracy."

"From the looks of it, Konohagakure's Ninja Army has already defeated Iwagakure's Ninja Army. It won't be long before they return. It seems that the days of crisis have passed, and the village is about to enter peace..."

"But..."

"This is not the end, but just the beginning."

"Konohagakure will experience a very strong internal strife. After this internal strife, it will enter the next peaceful period of development."

"However, many people in the village might not know what is going on. But the undercurrent flowing inside Konohagakure has already begun!"

Aoba said to Eaton. His words made Eaton nod repeatedly. Now he could understand these things.

All of a sudden.

Eaton looked very serious.

He had already realized the seriousness of the problem.

Moreover, he was still thinking about these things in a more orderly manner. He wanted to accurately determine his position in this vortex, determine his identity, and what kind of ability he had.

"No wonder Sandaime-sama wanted to see Orochimaru-sama again and again. This should be a preparation. It seems that it is not easy for Minato to become a Hokage!" Eaton sighed.

"Of course not!"

Aoba agreed. No one knew better than him how firm Hiruzen's Hokage position was. In any village, after the disappearance of the Fourth Kage, the Fifth Kage would take over. Only Konohagakure, after the Fourth Kage died, the Third Kage could still come back. If there was no other way out, how could Hiruzen give his Hokage position?

"But Minato still has us!"

"It all depends on human effort."

"We will find a solution!"

Aoba suddenly grinned and said. Although Eaton had a Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal, Aoba did not tell Eaton everything. In Eaton's opinion, Aoba was just a little more powerful than he imagined, but not to an incomprehensible level.

"Well... what you said makes sense... It all depends on human effort!"

Eaton immediately nodded his head. He suddenly had a very strong sense of participation, as if he had transformed into a part of Konohagakure's revolution, and he became excited.

He was on Aoba's side.

He did not have a good impression of Hiruzen.

Aoba stood on Minato's side and just met all of his needs for this revolution.

There was almost no dissatisfaction in the depths of his heart, and there was even some expectation. He immediately concentrated on it.

Thinking about it now.

It seemed that it was not something that could not be done.

Aoba was willing to support Minato.

That meant that Tsunade, who was behind Aoba, was also supporting Minato.

There was also Jiraiya standing behind Minato.

This was an incredible power.

Adding on the returning front line ninjas, and Hatake Sakumo who was the commander of the Ninja Army...

He thought about it carefully.

There wasn't really much of a problem.

"I understand!"

Eaton suddenly cried out in alarm. His tone was as if he had suddenly realized something. His eyes were wide open as he stared fixedly at Aoba. When he thought of what he had just thought of, his scalp couldn't help but tingle.

"I know what happened!"

"I know why Sandaime-sama approved it so quickly!"

"Aoba!"

"You are right!"

"This is a political conspiracy within Konohagakure!"

Eaton was very excited. He never thought that he could figure out this truth himself and felt very satisfied.

"Tell me about it," Aoba said with a smile that was not a smile.

"According to Sandaime-sama's attitude towards me, he wants me to be on his side. That way, Anbu will be on his side."

"Not everyone in Konohagakure understands the struggle between Sandaime-sama and Minato, or perhaps Minato himself has not thought that far. Now, it should be Sandaime-sama's preventive strategy."

"In this way..."

"As long as Sandaime-sama arranges all the returning elite ninjas to Anbu..."

"These ninjas have no ability to support Minato because they became Anbu. Moreover, Anbu is still in my hands. If I support Sandaime-sama, then these people could also be considered supporting Sandaime-sama."

"Such a simple strategy can directly turn Minato's supporters into Sandaime-sama's own strength. Not only will it weaken Minato, but it will also stabilize his strength!"

"As expected of Sandaime-sama!"

"Too shrewd!"

Eaton couldn't help but sigh. It was only now that he completely saw through this matter and understood why Hiruzen supported the Anbu transfer so much.

"So have you thought of what to do?"

Aoba nodded. He tacitly agreed with Eaton's words. Although Eaton only thought of one part of it and did not analyze everything completely, he unexpectedly dug deep into it.

Aoba had reason to believe...

The strategy of turning enemies into friends that Iton Morino just thought of was something that even the third generation himself had not thought of.

If he was not wrong...

Hiruzen should be planning to deal with Hatake Sakumo. After all, he had planned to use Danzo's identity to throw out Hatake Sakumo's matter and let Hiruzen deal with Hatake Sakumo.

Aoba still had a little bit of thought in this.

If Hiruzen targets Hatake Sakumo and exposes it without doing anything, it will be considered an attempt at most and will not cause substantial pressure. At most, Hiruzen's character will collapse in people's hearts, and the rest will still be fine.

Therefore, he had to expose what Hiruzen had done after Hiruzen had done it.

As a result.

The evidence was conclusive!

Moreover.

At the same time, Aoba used Hiruzen's hand to weaken Hatake Sakumo's prestige. This was an existence that was most likely to become Minato's competitor on the path of becoming the Hokage.

Aoba was thinking about far-reaching things.

He did not bother to chase Hiruzen down.

Hiruzen's resignation could only mean that the Hokage position was vacant, and it does not mean that the vacant Hokage position belongs to Minato. It may also be taken by other competitors.

Since Aoba had decided to help Minato become the Hokage and change the original historical trajectory, he would do everything he could do. At least, he would escort him all the way to avoid accidents.

Aoba was very clear about Minato's character.

If he said to Minato that he would help him, then Minato would definitely not agree to it.

Minato really wanted to become the Hokage.

But he was also a proud person.

He hoped to strive for the Hokage position through his own efforts.

So.

The matter of Aoba helping Minato would not be known to anyone, including Minato.

Similarly.

If Aoba did not succeed at the critical moment and let Hatake Sakumo become the Hokage, he believed that with Minato's pride, he would not fight for the Hokage position in a short period of time. At that time, the Fifth Hokage might be another person.

Aoba had no opinion about Hatake Sakumo.

After all, he had Hatake Sakumo's memories and knew this person's character. He understood that he was indeed a good person.

But compared to Minato.

Aoba's relationship with Minato was obviously better, and Minato was also more suitable to be the Hokage.

If he could help, the he would help.

This was Aoba's style of doing things.

In this ninja world, how could there be so many reasons?

Not to mention that Hatake Sakumo had some problems with his own psychological quality. In addition, he had met Hatake Sakumo several times in the past, and he could feel that this man exuded a certain coldness that would repel people thousands of miles away.

Perhaps it was not intentional.

But it existed.

Minato did not have this feeling at all. It was like a warm sun shining on this already ruined world.

"How to do it?"

Eaton was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed, he found that Aoba's words always hit the key points.

He could tell what was going on.

But what exactly should he do?

He really hadn't thought it through.

"Anbu really needs people. I can't refuse the opportunity Sandaime-sama gave me..."

Eaton took a deep breath. When he was considering this issue, he based it on what would be good for the Anbu division. It could only be said that the Anbu division was really important to him.

"Mm..."

"Aoba."

"Do you have any ideas?"

Eaton thought about it and still felt like asking for Aoba's opinion. Not only was he unable to think of what to do, but he also felt that Aoba already had a plan.
