In the Land of Water, the original Gato's palace had long since been rebuilt and had become even more luxurious.
After shocking the entire Ninja World, Aoba stayed here and enjoyed a life like 'The King of the Air'.
The backup plan that he had left behind made it so that he didn't need to hide around Obito and could start a new life.
As for the little fatty from back then, he had now become a big fatty.
However, he had changed a lot. Not only did he have an imposing aura of a superior, but his eyes were also full of wisdom and cunning.
It was likely that Gato would never have thought that the trash son that he had looked down on the most was actually the one who looked the most like him.
Even Aoba almost thought that it was Gato who had crawled out of hell when he saw me again after a long time.
However, it was obvious that Gato had died a long time ago, and the grass on his grave was several meters tall.
Although he was ambitious, I still didn't have the courage of his father to betray Aoba.
Of course, this was all thanks to Zabuza and Haku.
All these years, no matter how many threats and promises he made to Zabuza and Haku., or even secretly finding a group of fugitives to assassinate them, in fact, he wanted to get rid of these two people, but he failed in the end.
Instead, he was seen through and warned again, which immediately made this guy a lot more honest.
When he heard that Zabuza told him all the little tricks that Gato's son secretly did, Aoba smiled without saying anything.
Do you really think that the Sword of Damocles he prepared for me can be removed so easily?
Perhaps the little fatty from back then was already a mature businessman, but this guy would never understand the real Ninja World.
Therefore, with this guy's gaze and thinking, he couldn't understand why Zabuza and Haku would be so 'loyal' to that person.
The reason was naturally the difference in strength between the two sides!
Only strength was the most important thing for Ninja World!
And the 'loyalty' that he didn't cut was actually just loyalty to strength.
Because Aoba easily defeated him, and needed him and Haku to stay, he stayed.
But one day, Aoba lost to others.
This fear was broken, and this 'loyalty' would immediately disappear.
So in this aspect, an ordinary person like Gato's som, who is nothing but rich, will never get the loyalty of such a person in my life.
What he despised the most was this kind of person.
Then, with his arrogance, how could he, a true powerhouse, follow a trash that even he looked down upon?
Moreover, he no longer had much ambition. Escaping from Kirigakure and living with Zabuza and Haku was what he cared most about the most.
And this kind of protection is something that Gato's son can't give him at all.
Then the question was, could Aoba do it?
In the past, he would not be able to confirm it even if he did not cut it. The reason why he stayed behind to agree to Aoba's conditions was because he had no other choice. In addition, he also had Haku's persuasion.
But if it was now, he would not doubt it anymore!
Because the person who had once defeated him was the 5th Hokage of Konoha!
Aoba had caused such a big commotion, and even a relatively isolated country like the Land of Water had heard a lot of news.
The youngest Hokage was also the youngest Hokage!
During the ceremony, he had betrayed the village in front of everyone and then escaped unscathed!
These experiences were simply legends among legends!
After hearing this, almost every rebel saw Shinomiya Aoba as their idol!
Rebels? Which one of them wasn't dejected when they left the village? Everyone shouted for them to kill and then hid in all directions. They were afraid that Anbu would cut off their heads the moment they opened their eyes.
But Shinomiya Aoba was different!
Who had seen a shadow of their own village defect?
Moreover, he gave up the position of Hokage in front of everyone and chose to be a rebel.
This move was really too awesome!
It made countless betrayals yearn for it, and their blood boiled. They wished they could immediately bow and worship their idol. They will present the mountain of swords under the sea of fire, born into the death, the eyebrow does not blink a bit!
It could be said that Aoba did not know that he had accidentally become a pawn that was sincerely recognized by all rebellions.
This was really a beautiful misunderstanding.
But even if he didn't cut him, his attitude towards him was completely different.
Moreover, everyone was now rebelling, so if he didn't cut him, he wouldn't have to worry about Aoba selling him off.
As for me Gato's son, as long as this guy want to lives, he won't dare to do anything anymore.
...
Sitting in a chair, Aoba, who was holding a glass of red wine in one hand and a cigar in the other, was looking at the sea through the French window.
Behind him was Haku who was training furiously, as well as Zabuza who was supervising Haku training.
When Aoba appeared again, Zabuza also made a choice.
Therefore, he brought him back to the Land of Water
He also ate a Curry of Life at Karashi's place, which almost made him cry. However, he still failed to trigger the mission, which made him feel pity.
After careful calculation, it had been about two months since he put down the position of Hokage and chose to be a rebel.
During this time, Obito had not come to him.
At that time, after Obito took him away from Konoha, he originally wanted to arrange him into Akatsuki and replace Orochimaru with the identity of.
However, he refused.
He already had a side account that had infiltrated deeply into Akatsuki, and if he also took his identity in, wouldn't it increase the risk of exposing himself for no reason?
Moreover, after he entered Akatsuki, he definitely wouldn't have any special privileges. All day long, he went to complete those dangerous missions, what was he planning?
No matter what, it was too much of a loss.
Therefore, Aoba parted ways with Obito on the grounds that he still had his own plans.
Of course, when he left, he also told Obito that he had secretly controlled the Land of Water. If he needed his help, he could look for him at any time.
Aoba was indeed qualified to talk to Obito on equal terms now, and he was not afraid of Obito turning hostile.
After all, Aoba had clearly expressed that he would stand on his side and help him complete that great plan.
As a qualified helper, and knowing the truth, Obito also believed that Aoba would not easily betray him.
Otherwise, why would he give up the position of Hokage?
Wouldn't it be nice to have another dock and enjoy a stable life?
Although Obito hoped that Aoba would continue to be the Hokage and work for him as the Hokage.
But since things had come to this, there was no need to regret it anymore.
Therefore, Obito agreed with Aoba's statement and regarded it as his backup plan.
In this way, if something happened to Akatsuki, he could continue the plan.
After all, even Aoba, who gave up on the Hokage, had no reason to lie to him.
