Chapter 422: Everything Is For Benefit
The meaning in Aoba's words was quite deep. After he came to the ninja world, he had always been inside Konohagakure. It could be said that he was very clear about Hiruzen.
Of course.
He was not the only one who knew about Hiruzen.
There were also those people who competed with Konohagakure.
For example, Onoki.
You can also say that the people in Konohagakure don't know Hiruzen better than people in other villages.
After all, Hiruzen had always maintained a dignified image in Konohagakure.
But for the people of other villages.
It was clear that Hiruzen was a coward.
"You are right."
Onoki nodded. They all knew how timid Hiruzen was. In order to not fight, he could agree to almost any conditions.
But...
Once the war started.
That would be another story.
After all...
Onoki had participated in the Second Ninja World War. At that time, Iwagakure and Sunagakure couldn't hold on, but in order to not lose, Konohagakure directly sent out the Sannin.
This was not a simple matter!
"Kazekage-dono, what you mean is..."
Onoki's face became more serious. He understood what the Third Kazekage meant. This battle was unavoidable. After the war started, Hiruzen would go all out to obtain the final victory.
"What did I just say?"
Aoba deliberately pretended to forget what he had just said. After that, he suddenly showed a look of realization.
"I remember now."
"I said that your ninjas are pretty good."
"Now you prepare munitions for them."
"When they return to the village, let them return to the border."
"At this time..."
"The war has already begun."
"Any slight delay could lead to Konohagakure's victory."
"That's right."
"You have to remember one thing..."
"Using this kind of thing to help you Iwagakure attack Konohagakure."
"Then I won't get any benefits?"
"You are thinking too much!"
Aoba said coldly. He looked at Onoki with disdain. Now he had a new understanding of the Third Generation of Kage in the ninja world.
In his opinion, the Third Generation of Kage in the ninja world was a very successful generation.
However.
Now it seemed.
They were all people who had no vision.
It was a pain in the ass to do anything.
Otherwise...
With Hiruzen's cowardly personality.
Konohagakure had no way to stay in this world for so long.
It was not that Hiruzen was strong.
Or the other Kage were not that powerful.
It was just a matter of giving more benefits.
"I understand what you mean." Onoki didn't get angry after hearing the ridicule. Instead, he felt more at ease. He stared at the Aoba's face, who had turned into the Third Kazekage. He slowly said, "Then how should we divide the benefits you have obtained?"
"Good question!"
When Aoba heard Onoki's words, he immediately began to applaud. They hadn't defeated Konohagakure yet, but he was already thinking about the distribution of benefits.
The most important thing was...
Onoki still wanted to get some benefits from the other side.
Of course.
He didn't have this piece at all.
He wasn't the Third Kazekage.
But this also made him have to admire Onoki's tiny structure.
Perhaps.
Only when the moment of life and death came.
Onoki would release the brilliance of the so-called Will of Earth.
After the applause, the smile on Aoba's face became even wider. He did not answer Onoki's question. Instead, he stared at Onoki and asked another question.
"Then..."
"The benefits that you, Iwagakure, have obtained."
"How should we divide them?"
