Chapter 299: The Big Fish Is Starting to Bite!
Aoba looked at Danzo. There was no change in expression on his face. He did not say anything, but he was secretly muttering in his heart.
'Is this human language?'
'Since I don't want the reward, then you won't make things difficult for me?!'
When Aoba heard Danzo's words, he immediately felt all the blood in his body surge up. Even though he really didn't want any reward. But after hearing it, he felt extremely unhappy.
'Sure enough!'
'Whether it was in the modern world or in Naruto world.'
'The boss was the same!'
"Danzo-sama, this is all I have to report. Do you have anything else you want to tell me?"
Aoba hesitated for a moment and slowly said. Now, he had achieved his goal.
Using the black book in his hand, he had a deep exchange with Danzo, allowing him to have a preliminary understanding of the person he had temporarily set up for himself.
"Well, you can go. When the update comes, come to me to get the book. Just pay attention to the details recently." Danzo nodded at Aoba. Now, he had already begun to think about how to investigate the reason why Fugaku had consumed so much energy.
"Okay, Danzo-sama."
Aoba gave Danzo a meaningful look. This gaze contained a particularly strong emotion as if he completely understood what he was thinking.
Danzo was very sharp and caught Aoba's gaze. However, this gaze made him very helpless.
It seemed...
Aoba's attention was still on the novel. The focus was still on the update of the novel.
All of a sudden, Danzo had a bitter smile on his face. He didn't want to change Aoba's opinion of him.
'This is fine!'
'It is already pretty good!'
Danzo felt that the impression he gave Aoba was helpful in winning his trust. After all, they all had the same hobby. This way, they would have a very high level of intimacy.
"Danzo-sama, I'm leaving. I will immediately come to find you when the new chapter is updated!"
Aoba nodded at Danzo, then turned around and left.
Danzo's left eye, which was exposed to the outside, stared at Aoba's back, who turned around and left. His eyes flashed with a faint light, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Until Aoba completely left. Only then did Danzo shake his head helplessly.
"This Aoba is also a very interesting person!"
This was the first time Danzo had seen a ninja talking to him like this. Moreover, he did not feel that he had any problems at all. Although the task was not completed very well, the things he said were still within the framework of the task.
This made Danzo feel a little helpless.
If not for the fact that Aoba had told him something very important about Fugaku in the end. Perhaps he was still feeling depressed right now.
"This person is a little interesting!"
Danzo couldn't even remember when he felt like he was riding a roller coaster the last time. It seemed like it was when he was asking about who to cover the rear when his teacher was still alive.
He had never thought of this. He had been the boss of Root for so many years. It was actually such a young man who dared to speak to him so freely. The others, whether it was Konohagakure's higher-ups or Root ninjas, did not even dare to breathe when they saw him.
Danzo thought about it and smiled again. He lowered his head and looked at the black book in his hand.
Just now, he had only read it roughly. He was mainly looking for information about the Uchiha clan. Now it was confirmed that there was no information about the Uchiha clan.
Then...
It was time to appreciate it.
Danzo immediately raised his hand to open this black book and once again seriously read the story of this Teacher Bai of the Ninja School.
Just a moment ago, his attention was focused on whether there might be any information about the Uchiha clan.
Now there was no pressure. He read this story again. There was a different feeling in his heart. After all, the previous two experiences were not so good.
The first time was in the dark corridor, and he only had one eye. The original environment was very dark, so he could only read it roughly. In addition, the environment at that time did not allow him to appreciate the story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School.
The second time was when he just browsed it. What he wanted to see more was the news of the Uchiha clan. Even if his eyes had read these words, it was still mainly to find information.
At this time, Danzo could finally fully concentrate on reading this Teacher Bai of the Ninja School novel.
Danzo read the magical words in the book, and his whole being entered a Ninja School that he had never come into contact with before.
Gradually, Danzo felt that his soul followed the words in the book and was immersed in the plot.
As if he was the protagonist in the plot.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. The more he looked at it, the more comfortable he felt.
The feeling that had been silent for an unknown number of years began to awaken from his body.
To some extent...
The appearance of this book made Danzo think that he was a man and made him want to be a man again!
...
Aoba left Danzo's building, and there was a faint smile on his lips.
He was quite satisfied with the process just now.
In fact, he was not completely sure how to deal with Danzo's questions and answers.
After all, he could not guess what Danzo was thinking so clearly and what kind of question he would ask him. All he could do was sort out an outline.
After that, he would act according to the questions that Danzo raised.
It was in front of Danzo that he showed the ability to adapt to the situation that Danzo thought Aoba lacked.
This was also the first time Aoba had interacted so deeply with Danzo since coming to the Ninja World.
This made him realize...
Danzo was very shady, but his brain was not as good as he had imagined. Only if the method was used well. He could still ask for a pinch!
Aoba walked directly in the Konohagakure Intelligence Division direction. This time, talking to Danzo had spent too much of his time. It was time to go to work.
Ten minutes later.
Aoba came to his compartment. But before he entered. He heard extremely noisy sounds coming from inside.
'There are people?'
Aoba straightened up the cat-faced mask on his face. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with his appearance, he directly pushed open the compartment door and walked in.
Rumble...
The sound of a door being pushed open suddenly attracted the attention of the people inside.
"Did they send someone over again? There are too many people here. It's so hot!"
"What happened? No one came at all!"
"You guys are so slow!"
"How long are we going to be locked up here?"
"..."
A series of urgent sounds rang out from the compartment. These people were all prisoners tied up in the compartment, waiting to be interrogated.
After Aoba heard these words. He knew that this was sent over by the guard leader.
They must have waited for him for a while. Seeing that he had not arrived yet, they just tied these people here.
Instantly.
The corners of Aoba's mouth slightly curled up behind the mask.
These people simply did not know what kind of person they were about to face!
In a split second, Aoba walked inside step by step. He was directly reflected in the eyes of the prisoners who were tied up. The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B1jn.
Almost in an instant, the compartment becomes quiet. When they were tied up here, they had no idea which torturer ninja was going to interrogate them.
Of course, they did not know any of the torturer ninjas. They had only heard of the terrifying cat-faced demon.
They were all silently praying in their hearts. As long as the person who interrogated them was not the cat-faced demon, then it was fine. Anyone else could do it.
But...
At this time, their eyes were focused on Aoba's cat face mask. They clearly saw the pattern on the mask.
"..."
For a moment, no one spoke a word.
'Isn't this the cat-faced demon?!'
'Finished!'
Everyone's mood instantly fell to the bottom, and they had no mood to speak.
This could be said to be...
What you were afraid of comes!
...
Almost the same time.
In the Country of Earth, Iwagakure, Tsuchikage office.
Dressed in a red and yellow outfit, Onoki sat on the not-so-tall desk that was custom-made for him.
He looked like he was in his early fifties now. His hair and beard had just begun to turn white, and his whole body was still in the prime of his life.
At this moment, Onoki was reading the scroll in his hand. He was dealing with Iwagakure's daily affairs.
Whoosh!
All of a sudden, a figure flashed out of the Tsuchikage office, like a ghost, not making any sound at all.
"Did you find anything?"
Onoki didn't even raise his eyes. His eyes were staring at the scroll in his hand, and his indifferent tone was like asking a very insignificant thing.
"Yes!"
The half-kneeling figure immediately responded, then raised his head and stared at Onoki, who was not far away from him.
"Tsushikage-sama, Sunagakure has made a move." This Iwagakure ninja said. He was a ninja who was responsible for Sunagakure information gathering. He came to report to Onoki the moment he got the information.
"Tell me the details." Onoki was still staring at the scroll in front of him. He was not putting on an act but was really looking at the words on the scroll. At the same time, he was listening to the report of this Iwagakure ninja.
"Yes!"
This Iwagakure ninja immediately nodded. When he spoke, he stared at Onoki's reaction.
"Recently, Sunagakure's movements are bigger than before..." This Iwagakure ninja began to speak.
At this moment, Onoki did not have any reaction. He was still reading the scroll in his hand. It seemed like he did not take Iwagakure's report seriously.
"After Sunagakure was ambushed by Amegakure, they suffered heavy losses. Many people died, and many of their finances were plundered. Through the observation of the scouts, the Third Kazekage was very angry." This Iwagakure ninja said.
"There is no problem in being angry."
Onoki suddenly interrupted; his eyes were still focused on the scroll in his hand, but he didn't delay listening to the report of Sunagakure's situation.
"If I'm not wrong, the Third Kazekage should have been tricked. I don't know what kind of information he got that he dared to lead a team to invade Konohagakure personally!" said Onoki. His eyes moved away from the scroll and focused on the Iwagakure ninja who was not far in front of him.
"It's really funny!"
"He, the dignified Kazekage, actually led a team to launch a sneak attack. If the sneak attack were successful, it would be fine, but it ended in a crushing defeat!"
"The most interesting thing is that when he goes back, he finds that people from Amegakure plunder his village!"
"When this kind of ridiculous news came, I thought it was false information!"
"Sunagakure really repeatedly refreshed my understanding of them!"
Onoki said and laughed. He had received this information for a long time. Every time he thought about it, he felt that it was extremely ridiculous. It could be said that his brain had grown in his crotch.
"Ridiculous."
This Iwagakure ninja agreed and nodded. He had to agree with the Third Tsuchikage's words, but he did not dare to smile like Onoki. That was not something he could do with his status.
"Continue. What did Kazekage do after being angry? Let me guess. did you lead the team that secretly sneaked into Konohagakure to attack Amegakure?" Onoki looked back at the scroll. His words seemed to be very concerned about this matter, but his actions didn't seem that concerned.
"Well..."
After hearing Onoki's words, this Iwagakure ninja suddenly wanted to laugh, but he still didn't dare to laugh. This was not in line with his status, and he couldn't do such a thing in Onoki's office.
"It is indeed like this!"
The Iwagakure ninja nodded. When he got the information, he thought that the Third Kazekage was very fierce and dared to hit Amegakure directly. But after hearing the Third Tsuchikage's words, he suddenly felt that he was not fierce but reckless.
"It seems that this Kazekage will not give up until Sunagakure is destroyed!"
Onoki's mouth slightly curled up. From his expression, it seemed that he had already snorted at Third Kazekage.
"Sunagakure has such a little strength, and if it is attacked by Amegakure, it could be considered as a lesson, but they still wanted to attack Amegakure. It seems that they did not learn his lesson!
Onoki put down the scroll in his hand and looked at the Iwagakure ninja in front of him.
This was the first time that Onoki looked straight at this Iwagakure ninja since he entered his office.
"Sunagakure is an opportunity. I just don't know if Konohagakure can seize this opportunity. But I think they will not; after all, Konohagakure's Hokage is also the same."
"One of these two Kage is ignorant and doesn't make a decision after thinking about things clearly. There is nothing in his head, and the other is cowardly. He can even open his mouth and eat it after being ridiculed by Kumogakure!"
"I don't think Konohagakure will see this opportunity, but even if they see it, they won't attack Sunagakure. Konohagakure's Third Hokage doesn't have the courage."
Onoki almost instantly analyzed Sunagakure and Konohagakure's situations. He scoffed at Third Kazekage and Third Hokage, who were in the same group as him, thinking that these two were not worthy of the Kage reputation.
"Tsuchikage-sama, should we seize this opportunity?" This Iwagakure ninja asked.
"No need!"
Onoki shook his head without any hesitation. His face was extremely decisive.
"If we don't move, it will be the greatest deterrence to the other forces!"
Onoki said in a deep voice. His eyes were shining with wisdom. He was different from the Third Raikage. Not only did he have great strength, but he also had a strong mind. He could easily make judgments and analyze the situation. He was very confident about the current situation.
"Yes!"
This Iwagakureninja immediately responded. He came this time to report Sunagakure's information, thinking that they, Iwagakure, could take the opportunity to attack Sunagakure.
However, these thoughts were dispelled by Tsushikage's words.
"After experiencing Amegakure's matter, they will strengthen their village's defense by a lot. Even if it was an opportunity, it should not be big."
Onoki slowly explained to the Iwagakure ninja. After all, there were some things that could not be completely guessed by his subordinates. He had to tell his subordinates clearly so that they would not feel disappointed.
"Yes!" After hearing Onoki's words, this Iwagakure ninja immediately responded.
"Actually, if we really made a move. The most important issue is still the core issue..." Onoki stared at Iwagakure ninja and slowly said, "What kind of benefits can we get?"
"Yes!" This Iwagakure ninja answered again. He understood that the Tsushikage was giving him a lesson. It was true that there was no profit. He only saw the opportunity, but he did not see the value of the opportunity.
"Sunagakure has just been robbed by Amegakure and has not recovered yet. Even if we successfully hit Sunagakure, what can we rob? The ground full of sand?" Onoki smiled sarcastically, obviously full of contempt for Sunagakure's poverty.
"Yes!" The forehead of this Iwagakure ninja began to sweat. He increasingly felt that the Tsuchikage was very farsighted and saw things clearly.
"The real big fish still depends on Konohagakure and Kumogakure. If one of these two villages can't hold on for long, our chance will come!" Onoki's smile slowly disappeared, and his eyes became sharper. He had already prepared a thunderous strike, but the target of the attack had not appeared yet.
"Yes!" This Iwagakure ninja nodded again. It was just a simple conversation, and he had learned a lot from the Tsushikage.
Step step step step...
However, at this time, a series of rapid footsteps sounded and came to the Tsuchikage office.
After that, the door of the Tsuchikage office was opened. Another Iwagakure ninja walked in and appeared in Onoki's line of sight.
"Tsushikage-sama, Kumogakure frontline urgent report. The Third Raikage personally led a Ninja Army to attack Konohagakure!" The Iwagakure ninja who just ran in said breathlessly. From his posture, it was obvious that he had just received the information and immediately rushed over without any delay.
"Hahahahaha!"
After Onoki heard this information, he immediately raised his head and laughed. His laughter was full of joy.
Then, he looked at the Iwagakure ninja who reported the information about Sunagakure, and his face had become excited.
"Now, the opportunity has come!"
"The real big fish has begun to bite the hook!"
"It's time for us to prepare!"
Onoki's eyes flashed. He kept a low profile and waited for this moment.

Chapter 300: There Are Too Many Things to Do...
A day passed quickly.
Everyone in Konohagakure Intelligence Division's compartment was in their first time. They still didn't know how terrifying the cat-faced demon was.
As a day passed by, the world was filled with darkness. When they were sent back to the hands of the guards. They felt like they had returned to the human world, and the more they thought about it, the more terrifying it became. They did not dare to recall what had just happened. This chapter was first shared on the N0v3l-B1n platform.
...
After leaving the compartment, Aoba slowly walked toward the Anbu dormitory.
'A day has passed again.'
Aoba felt that this day was quite interesting. Not only did he send away all the manuscripts to the people of the Yamanaka clan, but he also had a deep conversation with Danzo. Finally, he stood on the side of justice and punished the prisoners who were waiting for the trial.
The whole process was quite meaningful.
Soon, Aoba returned to his dormitory room. After he closed the room, he used Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique) as his substitute here.
Now, because of the book Teacher Bai of the Ninja School. Aoba didn't know when someone would come to find him.
If someone from the Yamanaka clan made a visit and wanted to ask him for the rest of the manuscripts, if no one answered, then he might be in trouble.
At this time, Aoba increasingly understood the importance of leaving a shadow clone in the Anbu dormitory.
After that, Aoba immediately used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) and went directly to the tower.
He did not choose to go to the underground corridor under the Hokage Building.
The most important reason was that he had already noticed that the things he could see on the surface might not be too big of a secret, but it was just a morgue that stored the bodies for the outside world to see.
But the room next to those rooms. Aoba faintly felt that some secrets were hidden in it, and those secrets might overturn his understanding of Konohagakure.
At this time. Aoba stood on the first floor of the tower.
"There are too many things to do..."
Aoba rubbed his forehead. He had not used Taju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique) to carry out training for a period of time and suddenly felt some fear and resistance to practice.
After all...
He was someone who had crossed over from modern society. He wasn't so keen on this kind of thing that training hard every day.
"I haven't finished learning the water release ninjutsu..."
"I haven't read the memories of those people in Kumogakure..."
"Recently, I've also received detailed teaching of puppet Techniques and sand control ninjutsu..."
"As for Kumogakure's ninjutsu, I only mastered a little bit of basic..."
"There's still a pile of blank paper tags waiting to be drawn..."
"Other than that, there are also books that Minato sent over..."
"..."
Aoba rubbed his forehead, feeling like he was overwhelmed by a lot of homework.
At first, he felt he had plenty of time every day, so he didn't need to worry. He just needed to take it slow. Now that he saw that there were still so many things he hadn't done, he was still not in a hurry at all because he knew that it was useless to be anxious.
"What should I do?"
Aoba took a deep breath. Although there was no time limit to these things, it still gave him a feeling that he had faced a sea of questions and a mountain of books during his school days.
The language teacher said that there was not much homework to do today!
The English teacher said that there was not much homework to do today!
The math teacher said that there was not much homework to do today!
...
Every teacher left a portion. In the end, it was still a lot. After that, every teacher was still very innocent. Especially during the winter and summer vacations.
Aoba rubbed his forehead, and unknowingly, he had returned to the fear of being dominated by homework.
For a moment, Aoba felt his head would explode. He didn't even know where to start.
He didn't know how many times in his heart he wanted to delay and say that he would practice tomorrow...
"Let's look at the memory."
Aoba chose something that was relatively easier to do. He immediately raised his hands. Each of his hands stretched out two fingers and directly crossed them in front of his chest.
"Taju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique)!"
Aoba immediately used Taju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique). In an instant, a thousand shadow clones appeared on the first floor of the tower.
After these shadow clones appeared. Aoba slowly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
Fortunately.
Fortunately, he could use his clone to assist in his training; otherwise, it would be too torturous.
"Now everyone starts to divide the work and read the memory. Some people will read Hari's memory, some will read Kumogakure Advisor's memory, and the rest will check the memory of Sunagakure ninjas in detail." Aoba said to these shadow clones.
"Yes!"
Thousands of shadow clones nodded at the same time, and then they began to carry out their respective task.
Swish!
Aoba suddenly disappeared in a flash.
He directly communicated with the Flying Thunder God Formula that was in the Anbu dormitory and directly returned to his dormitory room.
"Bang!"
The moment Aoba returned to the dormitory, the shadow clone that had substituted Aoba in his room suddenly disappeared.
After that, Aoba fell directly on the iron bed.
In fact, he was not that tired, or it can be said that he was not tired, but training or something was still quite exhausting.
It was always because there were a few days of decadence that he could not muster the energy and just wanted to sleep and fish.
Gradually, Aoba closed his eyes and slept.
...
Country of Water, in a port.
The Country of Water merchants returned to the Country of Water as fast as they could and did not dare to stay in the Country of Fire for too long.
Especially the merchant's leader of the Country of Water merchants. He finally understood what it meant to have a long night and a long dream.
His experience in Konohagakure made him feel like he was in a dream, and it was a nightmare that he didn't want to recall anymore.
It wasn't until they returned to the port of the Country of Water. Every merchant, including the merchant leader, heaved a heavy sigh of relief.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Right at this moment, seven figures flashed out and appeared in front of the merchant leader.
These seven people. It was Kirigakure's Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
"You came back so quickly!"
The leader of the seven people, Biwa Juzo, stared at the merchant leader. He felt that these merchants had come back as soon as they left. Even the usual trade was not so fast. In his heart, he directly recognized this leader as not doing the task seriously at all. He just finished selling the goods and secretly ran back.
"Do you know the price of doing this?"
Next to Biwa Juzo, Suikazan Fuguki said coldly. He was not as tactful as Biwa Juzo. His words were relatively direct. His gaze was fixed on the merchant leader, and it was as if he would swallow the merchant leader alive at any time.
Except for these two people. The others did not say anything. However, they all looked coldly at these merchants.
The meaning they expressed was already very obvious.
They all treated these merchants as deserters and did not think that they would get any information in such a short time.
"No! No! You misunderstood! We got the information!" The merchant leader quickly waved his hands and explained.
"Is there any meaning in saying such things at a time like this?" Biwa Juzo said coldly. Originally, he had not thought of how to deal with these merchants. He felt that what these people did was more or less understandable. After all, Konohagakure was in a war. The situation over there was more or less a bit dangerous.
But...
When he saw the merchant leader was still quibbling with him. He even dared to lie to them that he had gotten the information.
This was simply treating all seven of them as idiots.
Swish!
After Biwa Juzo said this, he suddenly pulled out the extremely overbearing Kubikiribocho from behind.
This Kubikiribocho was swinging in Biwa Juzo's hand, and the cold light on the blade made every merchant present feel a strong sense of oppression and fear.
For a moment, everyone felt an itch on their necks. The skin on their faces was a little painful. It was as if the wind that Kubikiribocho swung out had a blade.
"Really! Really! What I said is true! I really got the information!"
This merchant leader was completely flustered. He used his fastest speed to take off the backpack behind him and took out a notebook from the bag.
This notebook was the one he used to record what Satsuma Rentaro had said in the warehouse.
"Here!"
"I recorded everything here!"
"We met Satsuma Rentaro in Konohagakure!"
"Satsuma Rentaro told me all this information!"
The merchant leader said anxiously. Now, his mood had been completely affected by Kubikiribocho. He was instantly flustered, especially after experiencing the matter of Konohagakure Intelligence Division's cat-faced demon. He understood that many things had to be explained at the very beginning. Otherwise, things would become troublesome.
"Satsuma Rentaro?!"
At this moment, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen all widened their eyes. Everyone's eyes flashed with disbelief. What they wanted the most was news of Satsuma Rentaro. How could these merchants get it so easily?
"How could Satsuma Rentaro be in Konohagakure? Are you kidding me?"
Biwa Juzo was the first to calm down. He still confirmed the words of this merchant leader as a lie.
"When we asked you to find Satsuma Rentaro, you say that you saw Satsuma Rentaro. In your next life, say a more reliable lie. This kind of lie is too poor!"
Biwa Juzo's words directly pulled back the thoughts of the other six people.
That's right!
The Boss is right!
This person must be lying!
How could they find Satsuma Rentaro so easily?
They had been searching so hard in the Country of Fire, but they had never seen Satsuma Rentaro.
"Listen to my explanation..."
The merchant leader was so anxious that his tears were about to burst out. However, at this time, his brain was becoming more and more useless. The more he wanted to say, the more he did not know what to say. His mind went blank, and he was a little confused.
"Speak!"
Biwa Juzo sneered. He did not believe the merchant leader's word, but he still nodded and said, "I want to see what you can explain."
"That... that... that..."
The merchant leader hurriedly opened the notebook in his hand and flipped to the record that he had obtained information from Satsuma Rentaro.
"Right!"
"It's like this!"
"It was when we were unloading the goods in Konohagakure's warehouse..."
"Suddenly, a person wearing a cloak came in."
"That person is Satsuma Rentaro!"
The merchant leader immediately recalled the scene at that time. The memories of that time gradually appeared in his mind. He wished he could quickly tell all of these things. He was afraid that he would cause the seven people to be dissatisfied and directly cut his head off.
Of course, the merchant leader still held back. He ignored the fact that they had entered Konohagakure Intelligence Division.
Firstly, these things were not something to be proud of, and it would not benefit them at all. It might even make them lose face.
Secondly, they were engaged in intelligence scouting work. If they had talked about Konohagakure Intelligence Division, even if they did not tell them anything, they would not believe it.
Because of this, the merchant leader decided to hide these things.
Absolutely not!
Just pretend that nothing happened!
Then, the merchant leader stared at the notebook, which recorded the most important details.
"When Satsuma Rentaro saw me, he knew that it was you who arranged for us to come over. At that time, the first thing he said was that you were too anxious." The merchant leader said.
"I was too anxious?" A big question mark suddenly appeared in Biwa Juzo's mind, and he did not know what it meant.
"That's right. That was what Satsuma Rentaro said back then. He even briefly explained what happened, but he didn't say too many details. It might be inconvenient for him to tell us..."
The merchant leader took a deep breath. Then, his gaze focused on the notebook, and began to speak.
"Satsuma Rentaro said that there was a change in Gasshi's mission. It seems to be the name Gasshi. That was what I heard at that time. He said that Gasshi was no longer going to save Hari but to kill Hari. So they reached a consensus and returned to Konohagakure together."
The merchant leader hurriedly explained. He didn't dare to speak slowly at all for fear that he would be cut down by that Kubikiribocho if he spoke too slowly.
"Did you really meet Satsuma Rentaro?"
After hearing these words, Biwa Juzo frowned slightly. He suddenly felt that this merchant leader word did not seem to be a lie.
Then, he turned around and looked at the other Seven Ninja Swordsmen. They exchanged glances with each other and all saw the same look in their eyes.
Indeed, everyone was thinking the same thing.
The most important reason was that the merchant leader had mentioned a point of information that should not have been known to him.
Gasshi!
Hari!
According to normal logic, this was the first time he had heard of this.
No matter how well-informed these merchants were, they should not have known that Hari had been caught by Konohagakure, let alone the news that Gasshi had taken Satsuma Rentaro away.
The news that Satsuma Rentaro had been taken away by Gasshi was only known to the seven of them.
Other than that, no one in the Country of Water knew. In the process of searching for Satsuma Rentaro, they had asked many Kumogakure ninjas. Even so, those Kumogakure ninjas did not know about this matter.
If this merchant leader made up a story...
Then it was a bit too much of a coincidence.
"We really did meet Satsuma Rentaro!" The merchant leader was on the verge of tears. If they didn't believe it, his head would be cut off.
"Did Satsuma Rentaro say anything else?" Biwa Juzo took a deep breath. In his heart, he began to gradually accept the news that this merchant leader had seen Satsuma Rentaro. The expression on his face also became serious. After searching for a long time, they did not see Satsuma Rentaro. Now it seemed that he was hiding in Konohagakure.
"Yes!"
This merchant leader quickly nodded. Then he flipped the notebook and looked at the records on it.
"Satsuma Rentaro asked me to tell Jozu-sama that he is now doing intelligence work in Konohagakure. He even asked me to report four important points to you!" The merchant leader said.
"Hurry up and tell me!" Biwa Juzo instantly became tense, and when he thought of the information from Satsuma Rentaro, he became very excited.

Chapter 301: Follow Me to Attack Konohagakure!
The eyes of the merchant leader stared at Biwa Juzo in front of him. To be precise, it was Kubikiribocho in Biwa Juzo's hand. He did not dare to be rash at all, and his heart was extremely nervous.
He quickly looked at the notebook in his hand. He then carefully looked at each and every word on it.
Now, this merchant leader felt extremely fortunate. Fortunately, he had the habit of keeping a record.
After all, many things would be forgotten if he was not careful. If he recalls it later, he did not know what would happen if he forgot something.
"The first point is..."
The merchant leader frowned slightly. After carefully looking at the information again, he said seriously.
"Satsuma Rentaro said that Konohagakure already knows that Kirigakure attacked Kumogakure, but Kumogakure has not yet known about this matter..."
"Kirigakure... Hmm..."
"Did we really attack Kumogakure?"
The merchant leader couldn't help but ask. When he heard what Satsuma Rentaro word in Konohagakure, he had a lot of questions in his heart.
When did Kirigakure attack Kumogakure?
Why did this sound like a lie?
But, at this time, he did not dare not to report these things to the seven people in front of him. He could only tell the truth and did not dare to make any changes. He could only believe that the person who gave him the news was the real Satsuma Rentaro so that he had a chance to live.
Right now, he was very clear.
If what he got was fake information. Then what awaited him was that sharp Kubikiribocho.
"Konohagakure actually knows!"
Biwa Juzo suddenly opened his eyes wide. When he heard this sentence, he had already confirmed that what this merchant leader said was not a lie. This person had indeed met Satsuma Rentaro.
Moreover, Satsuma Rentaro did know some information because the people who attacked Kumogakure's outpost were the seven of them.
Although they did not kill all the ninjas in the outpost, they later waited on the path to the Country of Lightning from the Country of Fire. They only blocked Brei and did not see any other Kumogakure ninjas.
From the looks of it, those ninjas did something to Konohagakure.
Biwa Juzo looked at the other Seven Ninja Swordsman and exchanged glances with each of them. He could see the same look in each other's eyes as he had thought.
At this time, everyone believed that the merchant leader had really met Satsuma Rentaro, and the person they had met was the real Satsuma Rentaro.
In fact, none of them knew.
The real Satsuma Rentaro had died a long time ago.
The Satsuma Rentaro they saw from the beginning was no longer the real Satsuma Rentaro but the role that Aoba played.
"What else did he say?" Biwa Juzo asked tensely. Just this point alone had given him a definite confirmation in his heart, allowing him to believe these things.
"Satsuma Rentaro said that you have to make a choice as soon as possible. Either you have to control Konohagakure to prevent someone from passing the information to Kumogakure, or you have to take precautions against Kumogakure. You have to attack Kumogakure before Kumogakure makes a move against Kirigakure." The merchant leader said seriously.
"Did Satsuma Rentaro say all of this?" Biwa Juzo asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, yes, he said all of this. I only conveyed it over and did not add anything of my personal statement." The merchant leader immediately nodded his head violently. Even now, his heart was still filled with fear.
"I understand. Go on, what other information do you have?" Biwa Juzo nodded. He would really take Rentaro's advice as a reference.
This would also require him to report the information to Mizukage before making a decision.
"En... Satsuma Rentaro also said that there was a problem with Kumogakure. Kumogakure Advisor and Gasshi were planning to kill Hari, and Brei wanted to save Hari. In the end, both sides had a conflict. Brei killed Kumogakure Advisor, and now both Gasshi and Brei are missing."
The merchant leader read the contents of his notebook to the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. Among them were the names of Gasshi and Brei. He also read it several times seriously and was sure that he was right. n(0)vel(b)(j)(n)hosted the premiere release of this chapter.
It had to be said.
Kumogakure ninja's name was too hard to say. It was all names that made him feel very strange.
As he finished this sentence. Biwa Juzo nodded again.
"This is a very high-quality piece of information!"
Biwa Juzo's face turned extremely serious. Now he knows a lot of content but could not tell the merchant leader.
Whether these people could keep their mouths or not, none of them could be sure.
However, even if none of them spoke. The seven of them all knew about this matter tacitly.
Brei had already been killed by them.
No wonder they didn't see any other Kumogakure ninjas. It turned out that they were all killed by Brei.
"I really didn't expect that even Kumogakure had internal strife. I don't understand why Gasshi wanted to kill Hari. Wasn't he going to save Hari before? Did Rentaro explain the specific reason?" Biwa Juzo stared at the merchant leader and asked.
"I'm not sure."
The merchant leader immediately shook his head. He really didn't know about this matter, so he didn't dare to speculate carelessly.
Now, he finally managed to convince the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to believe what he said. Then all he needed to do was to say what Rentaro said to him.
There was no need to add anything else.
"Did Rentaro give you any suggestions?" Biwa Juzo asked again.
"I think he did..." The merchant leader immediately looked at the notebook. His eyes finally fixed on a piece of information and said, "Rentaro said that we can use this information to make Kumogakure crack from the inside."
"Erm..."
After hearing this, Biwa Juzo felt that he seemed to understand, but he also did not seem to understand completely. He was in a state of half-understanding.
However, he remembered all of this in his mind.
"Wait!"
When Biwa Juzo thought of this, he suddenly realized something. Even if he had confidence in himself in these details, there was still a possibility of forgetting them. He still could not trust his memories too much.
After all, the information that Satsuma Rentaro said was not just a little bit, but several. Moreover, they were equipped with corresponding solutions. If he forgot something, it was very likely to waste Rentaro's painstaking efforts.
"Can I take your notebook with me later?" Biwa Juzo inserted Kubikiribocho into the ground and pointed to the notebook in the merchant leader's hand.
"Yes, yes, I can give it to you!" How could the merchant leader dare to say no? A notebook was not important to him at all, especially when compared to his life.
As he said that, he directly handed the notebook in his hand to Biwa Juzo and planned to give it to him now.
"Okay."
Biwa Juzo took the book without hesitation. His eyes looked at the notebook, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Are these words?"
Biwa Juzo directly asks. In his opinion, there was no difference between these things and children's doodles; there was nothing to read at all.
"Yes... yes..."
The corner of the merchant leader's mouth twitched slightly. He felt that he had been offended, but he did not dare to argue with Biwa Juzo for fear of causing Biwa Juzo to be angry.
"I'll return the book to you. Later, you will go with us to see Mizukage-sama. But before that, you still need to tell us the remaining two pieces of information first." Biwa Juzo directly threw the notebook back to the merchant leader. He could not read this notebook at all, and it was useless to hold it.
"Ah?!"
The merchant leader was full of black lines. He suddenly felt that the road ahead was full of thorns, and it became even more difficult.
If he had known earlier, he should have properly practiced calligraphy. He never thought that he would be taken away in this way at this time.
This was too difficult!
The merchant leader suddenly felt that he had forgotten his words during this period of time. It could be said that he was unlucky no matter what he did.
"Actually, I don't understand what Rentaro said next at all. Even now, I still don't understand it very well. I'm very confused."
The merchant leader looked at his record in this notebook. He had completely recorded it according to what Satsuma Rentaro had said, but the content made him feel puzzled.
He knew all the words, but it was something that could not be understood when it was formed together.
At this time, he had been staring at the words in the notebook.
There were a lot of question marks in his head. Even when he repeated these words in his head, he didn't know where to start.
"Tell me about it."
Biwa Juzo nodded at the merchant leader. He saw the expression on the latter's face and understood what the other party meant. In the past, he had similar experiences. When he heard Satsuma Rentaro talk about these related things, he would feel confused.
"Satsuma Rentaro said..."
The merchant leader frowned as he stared at his notebook. Even though he had already recorded Satsuma Rentaro's words, he still felt that there was something wrong with the words in the notebook.
"Gasshi ambushed Sunagakure Third Kazekage."
"All forces will target Kumogakure."
"Then let us join forces to deal with Kumogakure?"
"That seems to be it..."
The merchant leader was in a daze and did not know how to describe this matter.
"You can say this to Mizukage-sama again later. Didn't you say there was a fourth one? What is it?" When Biwa Juzo heard about the situation in the Ninja World, his mind became even more confused. He directly waved his hand and chose not to listen. After he knew that Satsuma Rentaro was still alive, the big stone in his heart directly fell.
"I remember the last one very clearly. At that time, Satsuma Rentaro's expression was very serious. He said that it was reliable news. Hari was not dead!" The merchant leader said.
"What happened to Hari?"
A big question mark appeared on Biwa Juzo's head. He now had the feeling of chatting with Satsuma Rentaro at that time, and he began not to understand it.
"I don't know either!" The merchant leader shook his head because he had no idea who Hari was.
"Alright, come with me and report everything to Mizukage-sama!"
Biwa Juzo picked up Kubikiribocho and put it behind his back.
It was just this one move. It instantly caused the merchant leader to break out in cold sweat.
"Yes... yes..."
The merchant leader nodded mechanically. He was truly afraid. At this point, he did not want to lose his life just because of a tiny mistake.
The next moment, the merchant leader was taken away by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. They walked directly in the direction of Kirigakure.
Biwa Juzo originally thought that this merchant group did not bring anything back but escaped before the battle and did not think that they could get the information.
Now that he found out about Satsuma Rentaro, he suddenly felt that everything came too suddenly. It was completely beyond his imagination and beyond the imagination of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
However, Biwa Juzo still decided to listen to what the information was first.
After all, if there was any bad information or some information that should not be said, he could stop him and not report it to the Mizukage.
Now it was confirmed that there was no problem. He decided to bring this merchant leader to report to the Mizukage.
...
On the other side.
The northeast of the Country of Fire.
One voice after another quickly passed through the Country of Fire. These people's attention was all focused on the front, and their speed was very fast.
If they moved forward at their speed and there were no accidents. They could reach Konohagakure before dawn.
All of them had dark skin and were wearing ninja clothing. They were all Kumogakure ninjas. At the front of the troops was a buff shirtless man.
It was Kumogakure Third Raikage Ay.
As Raikage, he was indeed a straightforward man. He could not understand so many strategies and conspiracies, nor could he figure out the situation and traps that were so clear.
But...
If he was just a ninja who could charge and break through the enemy lines. Ay had such enough strength!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
With the rapid charge of these Kumogakure ninja troops, they were getting closer and closer to Konohagakure.
Only...
Konohagakure did not get any information at all.
All the scouts outside who were observing the situation were killed as soon as they found the Kumogakure ninja troops.
No news was successfully sent back to Konohagakure. It could be said that they launched a quick sneak attack with a thunderous momentum.
This was also Third Raikage Ay's custom-made strategy. There weren't that many fancy things, and it was just a simple and crude direct push.
No matter who his opponent was or how many people there were, it was fine to just directly punch them!
Gradually.
Time passed by.
A few hours passed in the blink of an eye.
The Country of Fire was still shrouded in the middle of the night, and it was already the latter half of the night.
The Kumogakure ninja troops had already arrived not far from Konohagakure. At this moment, the ninja troops all stopped. Everyone looked at the Third Raikage Ay.
One of the Kumogakure ninjas, who could be considered to have a decent status, was the Kumogakure ninja, who listened to the arrangement of the Third Raikage Ay in Raikage's office that day. He immediately walked to Ay.
"Raikage-sama, Konohagakure is in front of us. What should we do now?" This Kumogakure ninja asked.
"Rest for half an hour, recover your energy, and then..."
Ay's voice slowly sounded, and his low voice revealed a decisive meaning.
"Follow me to attack Konohagakure!"

Chapter 302: The Third Raikage's Apperance!
BOOM!!!
While Aoba was sleeping, he immediately heard a loud sound coming from the direction of Konohagakure's main entrance, directly startling him from his sleep.
"ENEMY ATTACK!!!"
Aoba immediately heard the shouts from the outside. These sounds were especially loud in the Anbu dormitory, causing everyone to wake up in a flash.
No one knew what had happened.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
At this time, there was an urgent knock on Aoba's room door as if it was going to break his door.
"Don't sleep anymore. Kumogakure has sent ninjas to attack Konohagakure. Now, all of you, go to the battlefield!"
A loud and clear voice came from outside. After saying this, he did not wait for any response from Aoba. He immediately knocked on the others' door and shouted.
"???"
When Aoba heard this sentence, a lot of small question marks appeared in his head.
"What's going on?"
"Kumogakure ninjas?"
"What's going on?"
Aoba suddenly became the person who did not understand the situation. He lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling, completely dumbfounded.
Logically speaking, Kumogakure shouldn't have attacked Konohagakure at this time!
But judging from this level of commotion… This wasn't a simple sneak attack. It was more like a premeditated attack. Moreover, the other side seemed to have quite a few people, not as exaggerated as just a few ninja teams.
After all, not long ago. Sunagakure ninjas had just invaded Konohagakure. At that time, the commotion caused to the village was not as exaggerated as it was now, and of course, it was not that loud.
Suddenly, Aoba immediately made a series of hand seals, controlling the chakra in his body, and used Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique).
Bang!
Aoba's body trembled slightly. A person who looked exactly like him appeared in front of him. It was his shadow clone.
"You take my place and follow everyone. I will go and see what exactly happened."
Aoba gave a simple order to the shadow clone. After he finished speaking, he immediately used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique), and his figure disappeared in a flash.
Almost in an instant, Aoba came out of the tower in the forest and directly controlled the chakra in his body to quickly recall those shadow clones who were checking memories.
Bang bang bang bang...
Along with a series of explosion sounds, these shadow clones were instantly removed and returned to Aoba's body one after another.
Hum!
In an instant, Aoba's brain suddenly trembled. These shadow clones had been working here for a long time. They transmitted the details they had just read into Aoba's mind.
For a moment, Aoba only felt that his brain had received an extremely powerful information attack.
He was completely stunned.
Two to three seconds later only then did Aoba recover from this stun state. At this time, he had already put these shadow clones back into his body and had already recovered to a relatively perfect state.
Crash crash...
Aoba's body turned into pieces of paper.
These flying pieces of paper began to reassemble as if they were reconstructing a body and stacking them into other shapes.
Almost in an instant, Aoba turned into Satsuma Rentaro.
Swish!
Aoba immediately communicated with the Flying Thunder God Formula above the Hokage Rock, and his figure disappeared.
"This..."
Aoba stood on the top of Hokage Rock and looked down at the scene below. He could immediately see the flames of war spreading. Several places were burning, and the silent night was particularly bright.
Many of Konohagakure's outer walls were damaged, and many houses collapsed. Just by standing on the Hokage Rock and looking at it roughly, one could see the tragedy of the war here.
"Damn it!"
Aoba's eyes flashed with anger. He instantly recognized the people who attacked were Kumogakure ninjas. They actually launched a sneak attack on Konohagakure overnight.
This was something he had never thought of.
According to the current situation. Kumogakure was in the state of being surrounded by enemies. Konohagakure was still holding the key that could solve Kumogakure's predicament - Hari.
This situation...
Kumogakure should not have attacked Konohagakure first when they attacked any village!
What kind of stupid decision was this?
Aoba narrowed his eyes slightly. For the Third Ninja World War, the thing he was most worried about was the spread of the flames of war to Konohagakure.
He had done so many things before, and the entire Ninja World had been stirred into a mess. Obviously, the battlefield should not appear in Konohagakure!
Then, a strong sense of confusion appeared in Aoba's mind. He didn't understand many things. This was very different from what he had expected.
His face turned ugly.
However, at this time, a flash of lightning cut through the darkness of Konohagakure, and an extremely strong figure like a tank rushed directly to the Hokage Building.
Whether it was strength, speed, or defense, it could be said to be at the peak of a ninja's strength.
This figure was the Third Raikage Ay.
In front of Konohagakure's people, a scene of lightning shattering the darkness appeared. As Ay rushed over, he directly knocked away all the Konohagakure ninjas blocking his path.
His entire body exuded a terrifying power.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Following the arrival of Third Raikage Ay, many figures appear behind him and directly surround Ay.
These figures were all Konohagakure ninjas.
Among them were Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Konohagakure's Root Boss Shimura Danzo, and Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo.
These ninjas could be said to be Konohagakure's strongest fighting force. Of course, Orochimaru was not included in this.
"This is Kumogakure's Third Raikage. When I went to Kumogakure to do a mission, I had a simple fight with him. The other party's physical fitness is extremely strong. Whether it is speed, strength, or the ability to resist attacks, I have never seen others comparable to him in my life, coupled with the opponent's superb lightning ninjutsu. A top-notch wind release user is needed to deal with it." Hatake Sakumo immediately whispered and reported the information about the Third Raikage to everyone.
"That wind release user should be me!" Danzo stared coldly at the Third Raikage, who was not far away. His face was very cold. He could allow himself to play hard inside Konohagakure, but he could not accept other people coming to attack it.
"I also know a little bit of wind release. Let's deal with him together!" Hiruzen said with a calm face. He also knew the horror of Ay, so his reaction was not too big. In addition, the enemy was invading Konohagakure now. This was a war, not a one-on-one battle.
"Let's deal with him together!" Hatake Sakumo nodded.
All of a sudden, these Konohagakure ninjas were talking openly about Ay openly in front of him.
Only...
Ay did not care about this at all.
He stood in the middle of everyone's encirclement with his head held high. Not only did he not have terrified emotions on his face, but instead, he revealed an excited smile.
"It has been a long time since I had a carefree fight!"
Ay swept his gaze over these Konohagakure ninjas, his eyes flashing with fighting spirit. What he liked the most was fighting, not sitting at the table to negotiate with others.
"I can't let a person like you destroy Konohagakure!"
Danzo suddenly roared. At this time, he was very clear that this was the most difficult time for Konohagakure. The strong ninjas on the other side had already broken into Konohagakure's interior.
In a split second, Danzo began to form hand seals with both hands. The speed of his hand seals was very fast. Judging by the bandaged hand, he hadn't acquired the very disgusting-looking Sharingan arm in the future.
"Futon: Shinkugyoku(Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere)!"
Danzo was the first to attack and began to spray out one blast wave after another at the Third Raikage in front of him. After all, Sakumo had already said that by only using wind release, they could have a chance to fight back with this Third Raikage in front of him.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Air currents rushed toward Third Raikage's body. The speed of these air currents was extremely fast, like bullets.
At this time, Ay's body was covered with lightning. His body was directly covered with a layer of Raiton Chakura Mōdo(Lightning Release Chakra Mode). Then, his figure flashed and dodged Danzo's wind release attack at an extremely fast speed.
"He actually dodged it!"
When Danzo saw this scene, his left eye flashed with a touch of surprise. He was very clear about how fast the air current he spat out just now was, but it did not even touch Ay's body.
"Let's attack together!"
Hiruzen looked in Danzo's direction. He was very clear that now was not the time to be arrogant. If they could attack together, then they should attack together. They had to deal with this Raikage first. Otherwise, things would become more and more troublesome.
...
Aoba stood above the Hokage Rock while looking down at the battle below.
Hiruzen, Danzo, and the other ninjas all quickly formed hand seals and attacked the Raikage with wind release ninjutsu.
However, those wind release ninjutsu that was as fast as wind were like a slow-moving snail in front of Ay. They simply couldn't cause any danger to the latter and were completely dodged by him.
This scene continued for a few minutes. Ay hadn't even attacked yet. He just dodged all the attacks of Konohagakure ninjas.
There was no way to match his speed at all, and there was no way to cause any substantial damage to him in such a situation.
Apart from Ay, there was an all-out war going on in Konohagakure.
One by one, the Konohagakure ninjas were fighting against the Kumogakure ninjas that had intruded.
The scene was very chaotic.
"Phew..."
Aoba took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. He had already guessed that a war would be like this, but seeing this with his own eyes still made him feel very uncomfortable.
This was not the scene he wanted to see at all. It was not something he wanted to happen to Konohagakure.
He had done so much. However, he did not expect that it would still attract the Third Raikage.
Now things were not so easy to deal with...
Aoba's gaze once again fell on the Third Raikage. When he was watching the anime, his impression of this Raikage was completely focused on the Third Raikage that had been resurrected using Edo Tensei.
It had to be said...
This guy was really strong!
Even for Naruto to defeat this Third Raikage was a very difficult matter. In the end, he could only use the Third Raikage method to attack himself.
But...
The current Third Raikage was not in the same state. This was completely his own body. Now, he was able to control his body very well. He wouldn't be slow, and his body was even younger now.
"I have to think of a way..."
Aoba knew that if this continued, then not only would Hiruzen and Danzo be in danger, but the entire Konohagakure would be in danger.
This was something he had never thought of in his plan. The Third Raikage actually came straight over!
"Attack yourself..."
"I got it!"
"I have an idea!" This chapter was first shared on the N0v3l-B1n platform.
Aoba's eyes suddenly lit up. The method he thought of was to attack himself. Not long ago, he had told the Country of Water merchants about this kind of thing.
However, he could not wait for Kirigakure to make a move. Aoba quickly made a series of hand seals. He directly used Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique).
In an instant, he created five shadow clones.
One of the shadow clones maintained Satsuma Rentaro's appearance and directly sat on top of the head of the Hokage Rock. His eyes focused on the village below, staring at what happened to Konohagakure.
The other four shadow clones transformed into Kirigakure's ninjas, but each of them wore a mask on their face, looking like Kirigakure's Anbu.
"Go to the village and fight for a while. Do your best to hurt Kumogakure ninjas, but don't let Konohagakure ninjas think that you are helping them. You have to act like a third party!" Aoba said to the four shadow clones that had transformed into Kirigakure Anbu.
"Yes!" The four shadow clones nodded in unison.
"Don't play for too long. Come over later and cooperate with me to put on a good show." Aoba's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Yes!"
The four shadow clones responded at the same time. After that, they used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) and disappeared immediately. They used different techniques and quickly joined the battle.
As these shadow clones left one after another. The pieces of paper on Aoba's body changed again and directly transformed into the appearance of Kumogakure ninja Gasshi.
Swish!
Aoba also used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique). His figure flashed and directly appeared at the Root Base.
Just after entering the Root Base. Aoba directly controlled his body's perception ability to directly cover the Root Base so that he could clearly sense the Root ninjas' specific position.
"En?"
After Aoba covered the Root Base with his perception ability, he immediately discovered a very special phenomenon.
There was a lot of chakra in Root, and the energy of each chakra was very full. There was no intention of fighting at all.
Good fellow!
This was the same as Konoha Crush and Pain's Assault. Even if this Konohagakure were destroyed, none of the ninjas in Root Base would move.
If this was said in Danzo's words, it was to preserve the power of Root, leaving a possibility for Konohagakure in the future.
Too ruthless!
Aoba felt that Danzo was really ruthless!
After realizing this, he did not think Danzo would let these Root members go out to fight.
For Danzo to stand outside at this time. It could only be said as an accident.
Whether it was when Hiruzen died or when Konohagakure was directly level down, Danzo and his Roots had never appeared. They were hiding in the underground Root Base, quietly waiting for the incident to pass.
In fact, things were just as Aoba had thought. It was just that this time, Kumogakure's intruder had arrived late at night.
Normally speaking, Danzo would be at the root at this time. If something happened, he would not come out, and he would not help.
Now it could be said to be an accident. An accident that even Danzo did not expect.
Tonight.
Danzo did not return to Root Base, and Hiruzen also did not return to his home. The two of them had already agreed to do some secret things in the Hokage Office.
That was the black book in Danzo's hand!
The Teacher Bai of the Ninja School story!
After Danzo got this book, he couldn't help but want to share the feelings in his heart. Finally, he contacted Hiruzen, who was his best friend.
After the two made an agreement, they decided to read the story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School in the Hokage Office all night.
When Kumogakure ninjas invaded, Danzo and Hiruzen just happened to be in the mood. Both of them were particularly excited and immersed in the story of Teacher Bai in the Ninja School.
Then Kumogakure ninja attack came too suddenly. It was to the point that Danzo and Hiruzen were not prepared. Moreover, there was also a very unpleasant feeling of being interrupted.
Danzo had no way to turn around and hide in front of everyone. After the enemy invaders came to Konohagakure, he had to bite the bullet and block them.
This formed the scene of Danzo and everyone attacking the Third Raikage together.
"Since I have seen these idle Root ninjas, then let me give everyone an order!"
The pieces of paper on Aoba's body flew up and changed again. This time, he directly became Shimura Danzo's right-hand man, Orochimaru.
Now at this time node. Although Orochimaru was one of the Konoha Sannin, he was also a member of Root.
The next moment, Aoba walked out with Orochimaru's appearance and shouted at the Root ninjas.
"Danzo-sama's order, don't just stand here, now all of you go to the village to kill the enemy!"
Aoba immediately shouted at the crowd. He had seen Orochimaru countless times, and he was very familiar with Orochimaru's tones and actions. The entire process was imitated perfectly.
"Yes!"
When Root ninjas saw Orochimaru(Aoba), they immediately felt that it was Danzo who asked Orochimaru to pass the message. They immediately responded and walked out.
Everyone at Root knew Orochimaru. Although he rarely came to Root Base, Orochimaru had a very high status in Root and could be said to be second only to Danzo.
Now, Orochimaru had issued an order. No one dared to refuse.
All of a sudden, These Root ninjas who were hiding underground all started to move and ran toward the exit, ready to join Konohagakure's battlefield.

Chapter 303: The Secret Room at the Root Base
These Root ninjas did not doubt Orochimaru(Aoba)'s words. After all, since its establishment. Root had only been invaded once.
That was the matter of Gasshi's invasion not long ago, and the specific reason for the invasion had not been investigated.
However, this did not stop them from thinking that Root Base was a very safe place. Other than the people from Root, no other ninjas from other areas could come in.
Not to mention that Aoba had come in with Orochimaru's appearance.
Based on the preconceived concept. Everyone in Root believed that Orochimaru, who commanded them, was the real Orochimaru. No one in Root had ever guessed that he was fake, let alone questioned his authenticity.
Basically, no one would say it out loud.
Although it seemed like the operation was very simple, and there seemed to be a lot of loopholes, none of the Root ninjas standing here dared to question Orochimaru.
Who didn't know how terrifying Orochimaru was?
If they were even a little careless, they might be sent to become a human specimen for human experiments.
In an instant, these Root ninjas rushed out from the Root Base exit. They also fought with the invading Kumogakure ninjas.
Kumogakure ninja tended to have a melee style as a whole. In addition, the number of people was not particularly large, and they were very tired after a long journey. Their combat strength was relatively not at its peak.
If they were only dealing with Konohagakure ordinary ninjas, they could still feel that they were evenly matched.
But now, the battlefield was in chaos.
Not only did a few Kirigakure ninjas who were constantly spraying water appear and turn the battle into a mess, but many Root ninjas wearing masks also appeared.
It had to be known that the Root ninjas' strength was not weaker than Anbu, and it could be said that Danzo had painstakingly cultivated his private army.
Whether it was Orochimaru or Pain invading Konohagakure, Danzo was not willing to take out this private army and just left them in Root Base to find an opportunity to seize the position of Hokage in the future.
Now, all the accumulated power was controlled by Aoba, even if he made some contributions to the village. These benefits would be put on Danzo's head.
Aoba was such a good person!
Doing good deeds without leaving his name behind.
After everything was settled, he hid his skills and fame.
Aoba felt the mass of chakra was quickly moving out of Root Base, and he even thought that the Root Base was slowly being hollowed out.
He did not know if Danzo, outside, noticed this phenomenon.
However, he was not worried at all. Even if he was discovered by Danzo.
Danzo, who was currently in the midst of Third Raikage's battle, had no way to withdraw from watching what was happening at Root Base, so he could only focus on the current situation.
Suddenly, Aoba began to walk around the Root Base in relief.
He had his eyes on the Hokage Rock, watching the situation on the surface. If something happened to Hiruzen and the others, he would remove the shadow clone and bring the information to him.
But before anything happened to Hiruzen and the others.
Just think of it as Raikage helping him to restrain Konoha's higher-ups.
Aoba still had a lot of things he wanted to do, but he never had the chance to do them. Now, the opportunity had come.
At this time, after Aoba sent out four shadow clones transformed into Kirigakure ninjas and Root ninjas, he was no longer so worried about Konohagakure.
He was very clear that Konohagakure's situation had stabilized with this power, and they would not fall into a disadvantageous position.
After all, there were so many powerful clans in Konohagakure.
Whether it was the Konoha Crash when Orochimaru invaded Konohagakure or the incident of selling rice to Konohagakure when Pain came to catch Kyuubi. At that time, Konohagakure did not have the Uchiha clan.
The current Konohagakure could still be considered the time when Hiruzen was relatively at his peak.
They had Konoha White Fang.
They had top clans like the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan.
They also had the Sarutobi clan, Nara clan, Yamanaka clan, and Akimichi clan.
In addition, there were also the Inuzuka and Aburame clans, which were relatively small but not weak.
The ninjas of these clans were sleeping, and they had yet to react to Kumogakure's invasion.
Konohagakure's situation would quickly stabilize as the ninjas of these clans came out one after another to participate in the battle.
Aoba does not like fighting to happen in Konohagakure. Still, it doesn't mean he worried about Konohagakure's ability to fight. It was never the overall fight that could cause damage to Konohagakure but the crushing of the top combat power.
Compared to those who were worried about Konohagakure.
Aoba was even more worried about Hiruzen.
Now was not the time for Hiruzen to abdicate. Minato still needed to accumulate some experience. He needed to gain more battle achievements in battle and get the love of more people. The best time to become the Fourth Hokage of Konohagakure was not like Tsunade, who was arranged to take the position of Hokage because of the death of the Third Hokage.
Although they were both in the same position, there was a fundamental difference.
When Minato became the Fourth Hokage, no one could shake his position. Even Hiruzen had no way to take back the position. Danzo had no thoughts at all. Orochimaru was also a loser in the competition for the position of Hokage.
However, the two advisors often restricted Tsunade when she became the Fifth Hokage. They often relied on their seniority to teach Tsunade how to do things. Moreover, after being invaded, Danzo also came out to fight for the position of Hokage. Generally speaking, when Tsunade issued all kinds of orders, she had to overcome many difficulties to achieve the effect she wanted.
Aoba did not want Minato to become the Fourth Hokage in a hurry. In this way, Minato would be constrained in many things, so Minato needed to accumulate some popularity.
Because of this, relying on his selfishness for Minato. For the time being, Aoba would not let anything happen to Hiruzen.
All of a sudden, Aoba locked on the three mass of chakra at Root Base, one of which was particularly weak. It was located in a secret room on the second floor, close to his current position.
"That person should be Hari."
Aoba immediately made a judgment. After that, he quickly walked in the direction of Hari. He maintained Orochimaru's appearance, even though only three people were left at Root Base.
After a while, Aoba arrived outside the stone room. But before he entered, he raised his hand and pressed it against the wall beside the door.
The moment his palm made contact with the wall, chakra immediately surged, leaving a black circle on the wall.
Then, Aoba immediately pushed open the stone door and stepped in, his eyes focused on a figure lying on the bed.
Sure enough!
This figure was none other than Hari. However, the latter had suffered severe injuries and was already paralyzed. There was no feeling from his chest down to his feet.
"Who is it?"
Hari's weak voice sounded. He was initially sleeping, but he was awakened by the sound of the movement of the Root ninjas outside. Then he heard someone enter his room.
"Who's here?"
Hari asked again. His eyes looked in the direction of the door. But because of his angle, it was still not clear.
Aoba did not answer Hari. He walked up to Hari step by step, looking down at the disabled Kumogakure Anbu Leader.
The day before, Aoba had arranged many shadow clones, and some of them were reading and extracting Hari's memories.
This made Aoba understand a lot about Hari. Since the Second Raikage died. Hari began to assist the Third Raikage officially. Not only did he propose many constructive suggestions for the development of the village, but he also paved the way for Kumogakure in the Ninja World.
Among them was the decision to pull the Third Raikage back.
The Third Raikage was not allowed to participate in the Second Ninja World War.
According to Hari's memory, this decision was really very hard. After all, the Third Raikage was a real militant. At that time, the whole Ninja World was at war, and he wanted to intervene.
However, Hari told the Third Raikage a story of change and growth with reason and emotion.
During the First Ninja World War, the main battlefield was in Kumogakure, and Kumogakure consumed a lot of energy.
If, during the Second Ninja World War, Kumogakure could sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight instead of participating in this war and silently accumulate military strength. This way, after the other forces were significantly weakened, Kumogakure's power would jump to the peak of the Ninja World.
In addition to these things, Hari also led the matter of uniting with Kirigakure. He then gradually played Kirigakure in the palm of his hand.
No matter what happens, they could order Kirigakure to go ahead and explore the way for Kumogakure.
It was precisely because Kumogakure had a character like Hari that the entire village was organized in an orderly manner. The internal affairs of the village were handled very well, causing the village to become rich and powerful gradually. The goal of making diplomatic relations with the outside world was clear, contributing progressively to Kumogakure's current situation.
It was just that...
Hari definitely would not have thought of it. The career that he had been working hard on all his life. It was going to be ruined by the reckless Third Raikage.
And it wouldn't be long before Kumogakure would instantly return to the past, standing shoulder to shoulder with Sunagakure in backwardness.
Aoba's gaze fell on Hari's face. He had already recognized this person in his heart. It could indeed be called Kumogakure's brain. The things he had done over the years could be said to have cemented Kumogakure's position today.
However, it was precisely because Aoba recognized Hari's talent.
This dangerous person would not be able to see tomorrow's sun alive, even though he could not see the sun at Root Base.
"Orochimaru-sama!"
When Hari saw Aoba's appearance, he immediately revealed a smile. Then, he asked curiously, "Orochimaru-sama said that you wanted to find me a new body so I could stand up again. How long do I have to wait? I have had enough of my paralyzed body."
"Today." Aoba nodded at Hari. After thinking for a while, he added, "You will be able to get rid of this broken body from today on."
"Orochimaru-sama, thank you!" A bright smile appeared on Hari's face. He looked delighted as if he did not realize that this person in front of him was not the Orochimaru he knew but someone disguised. The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B1jn.
"You're welcome."
Aoba said indifferently. He said that he could get rid of this broken body, which meant that Hari could enter the Pure Land with his soul. He didn't need to be tortured like this anymore.
Through Hari's words, Aoba still keenly captured some information points.
Orochimaru had promised to change Hari's body; would it be a preliminary experiment for Edo Tensei?
However, no matter what the specific situation was. Orochimaru no longer had this chance. Hari's end was already here.
Aoba stretched out his hands to Hari.
"What are you doing?"
The smile on Hari's face gradually froze. He was now paralyzed and had no strength to resist any power from the outside world. He could only watch as Orochimaru placed his hand on his body.
"It's fine now. After tonight, everything will be over. I'll bring you to see your most respected Third Raikage-sama."
Aoba's indifferent voice slowly rang out. A strong spatial fluctuation appeared on his hands, and he instantly used Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique).
Hum!
In an instant, Hari's body, lying on the stone bed, trembled slightly and then disappeared.
On the other side.
On the Hokage Rock.
Hari's body appears at the top of the Hokage Rock. His eyes looked at the bright stars in the sky, and he heard the sound of fighting.
"Where is this place?" Hari asked doubtfully.
"Konohagakure." Aoba's advanced paper clone, who had transformed into Satsuma Rentaro, answered softly.
"Why would I suddenly appear here?" Hari asked again.
"You only have one chance to ask a question. Now that you have used it up, you should quietly enjoy the last moments of your life." Aoba's advanced paper clone, who had transformed into Satsuma Rentaro, said indifferently.
"..."
Hari was speechless. After that, he closed his mouth. His eyes stared at the starry sky, but his attention was focused on his ears. He listened to the sound outside and tried to find a way to break the situation.
Only...
He could not think of any good strategy. After all, his current physical condition was really too poor.
...
At Root Base.
After Aoba sent Hari away, he stood still in the same place.
There were still two chakras fluctuation left. For the time being, Aoba did not know the identity of these two people.
After a slight hesitation, Aoba decided not to take the risk for the time being. Who these two people were was not that important to him.
He just wanted to go and take a look at the location between the basement level and the Hokage Building.
Was there really a secret door that could lead to those secret rooms?
Aoba determined that there were secret rooms in the dark corridor before. He felt there must be some secret hidden in those secret rooms, and the entrances of those rooms were most likely in Root Base.
Now, Danzo was busy with the Third Raikage. There was no way to return here. The Root ninjas were sent away by him to fight. The current Root Base could be said to be its emptiest time since its establishment.
There would definitely be no more suitable opportunity than this. If he missed it and wants to enter those future secret rooms. It might require a violent demolition method.
Unless it were absolutely necessary, Aoba still wouldn't choose that way.
Afterward, Aoba left Hari's stone room and walked toward the basement. Not long after, Aoba climbed back to the basement level.
Right at this moment, Aoba immediately went to perceive the location of the Flying Thunder God Formula.
In an instant, he determined the coordinates of the Flying Thunder God Formula on the dark corridor he had left before.
After sensing the Flying Thunder God Formula, Aoba did not directly use them as Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique)'s coordinates. Instead, he treated them as the coordinates to search for those rooms.
A few minutes later.
Aoba stopped on the empty ground that resembled a square. Then, he raised his head to look up.
Right now, he was very certain that the space above his position was the room where the people of Yamanaka's clan had gone to read memories that day.
When Aoba saw this, he was stunned. He suddenly felt that he had overlooked something. At that time, he knocked on the walls in all directions. But he forgot to knock on the ground below.
"There must be an entrance to the secret room here!"
Aoba's eyes became determined. He looked around and began searching for the secret room entrance.

Chapter 304: Isn't This More Fragrant Than Acupuncture!
Konohagakure was in a war at this time, and almost every ninja was fighting on the front line. Almost everyone was unprepared for this sudden war, but Konohagakure ninjas adapted quickly.
On Konohagakure's battlefield, the Jonins were fighting with all their might.
Aoba was in the Root Base underground of Hokage Building and was looking for the entrance to the secret room.
Through the Flying Thunder God Formula, he could clearly confirm that the room where Kumogakure's corpse was stored above his head.
Then the location around the secret room was the secret room that could not be entered from that side of the corridor. This chapter was first shared on the N0v3l-B1n platform.
"Something is wrong here."
After searching for a while, Aoba frowned slightly. He discovered a very important thing. It was that this place looked like a plaza without support at all. Usually, there should be a heavy pillar every once in a while to support the roof of this place.
But...
There was nothing. It was completely empty. It looked like the place where Root ninjas train.
"Could it be..."
Aoba looked up at the top of his head. He did not know much about architecture. He only learned prior knowledge and knew that static objects had a balance of force. Then this top was the ground above. If he did not need any support, it should be a lot of tension.
A light flashed in his mind. According to the location provided by the Flying Thunder God Formula, as well as his memories of the shape of the corridor, he walked down the corridor toward the depths.
Walking and walking...
Aoba arrived at the furthest distance he had reached before but didn't go any further.
"Why am I so stupid!"
Aoba suddenly slapped his head. He had been locking on to the Flying Thunder God Formula just now, but wasn't the Flying Thunder God Formula just above his head!
Instantly, Aoba's hands began to form seals quickly. The hand seals he formed were precisely the shadow clone technique.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique)!"
Aoba muttered in a low voice. As he said this, a person who looked exactly the same as him suddenly appeared beside him. It was his shadow clone.
Crash crash...
After this shadow clone appeared, the pieces of paper on his body flew over. They began to change, directly changing into the appearance of Orochimaru.
Now, Aoba felt that it was good to become Orochimaru. Not only did Orochimaru have a very high position at Root, but even if he were found, he would not be suspected. Moreover, Orochimaru might also be participating in the battle at this time. He did not think that he would coincidentally encounter Orochimaru's actual body.
"You go up."
Aoba nodded at the advanced paper clone who had turned into Orochimaru.
"Understood!"
The advanced paper clone responded to Aoba. Then, he immediately communicated with the Flying Thunder God Formula above his head in his mind. He then used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique), and his figure disappeared in a flash.
In a split second, the advanced paper clone, who had become Orochimaru, directly appeared above his head.
The advanced paper clone came out of the last room that Aoba had explored. He walked toward the stone door and prepared to leave from here.
Rumble...
The advanced paper clone opened the stone door and saw a dark corridor.
At this time, there was no one walking in this corridor. It was a dark night in itself, and Kumogakure ninjas were invading.
Aoba's advanced paper clone stood in the corridor. With a flip of his wrist, a piece of paper appeared in his palm. On the paper, there was the Flying Thunder God Formula.
After this piece of paper with the Flying Thunder God Formula appeared.
Aoba, who was at the bottom, suddenly sensed the Flying Thunder God Formula in his mind. And as the advanced paper clone moved, it was like a lamp, guiding him into the corridor.
...
Aoba's advanced paper clone was extremely fast, constantly walking toward the end of the corridor. Along the way, he met another room but did not go in to check.
Right now, his goal was very simple. He wanted to go straight to the end and see what was at the end of the corridor.
Aoba had a faint suspicion.
The end of the corridor was where one could enter the secret room. Since the design of the room could be reversed. Then the design of the corridor could also be reversed.
Instantly.
Aoba quickly chased after the Flying Thunder God Formula in the advanced paper clone's hand.
He walked toward the end of the path at an extremely fast speed.
Just like that, the two of them walked for about three minutes.
The advanced paper clone could still walk forward, but a wall appeared in front of Aoba.
There was no path ahead. Although the square could give Root ninjas a large training space, there was no way to cover the bottom of those secret rooms completely.
Aoba stretched out his hand, clenched it into a fist, and knocked it against the wall.
The feeling of knocking was very heavy. It was a completely solid wall. There was no gap in it.
According to the memories of the three Root ninjas he read, the location was almost the border of the Root Base.
However, the advanced paper clone was still moving forward like a navigation system.
"There must be a secret passage here."
Aoba began to check around the wall. He constantly knocked on the wall to sense the structure inside. He always felt that there was something in this place. Otherwise, there was no way to explain this.
At this moment, the Flying Thunder God Formula that the advanced paper clone was carrying stopped.
He was already at the end of the corridor and passed by a few rooms along the way.
He didn't enter, but the place beside the door was already marked with the Flying Thunder God Formula.
The end of the corridor was already a solid wall, and it was obvious that it had only been excavated to this extent.
This could be considered a one-way corridor.
He could only enter through the entrance, and he could only leave through the entrance unless he mastered space-time ninjutsu.
Aoba's advanced paper clone stood at the end of the corridor, raised his right hand, and pressed down on the wall at the end of the corridor. At the same time, he controlled his chakra to surge out.
Hum!
The chakra in Aoba's palm changed slightly and then directly formed a mark of the Flying Thunder God Formula on the wall.
After the coordinates of the last position were placed. The rough shape and position of the entire corridor could be checked at any time.
"My mission is complete."
Aoba's advanced paper clone muttered to himself and disappeared.
As advanced paper clones disappeared. Aoba, knocking on the wall, suddenly felt a wave of information pouring into his brain.
It was all brought by that advanced paper clone just now.
"The corridor is a dead end."
"There are no forks."
"The layout of each room is the same."
"The location between these rooms is the secret room."
"Then where else can the entrance to the secret room be?"
Aoba was a little puzzled. He searched here for a while and found nothing special. Either there was no way to the secret room, or he had not discovered the way.
His mood was more inclined to the second point. He had yet to discover it. After all, those rooms can only be entered from the dark corridor.
If there was no entrance...
Then there might be a second-long corridor. The corridor Aoba had walked through had a parallel design, trapping the rows of rooms in the middle.
Several rooms were open to the right, the rooms that could be entered on the dark corridor. The other rooms were opened to the left, and they needed to be in another corridor to enter.
"If that's the case..."
Aoba looked to the left side of the place, likely to be where the corridor was.
But...
What he saw was a solid wall.
'If the entrance wasn't at the Root Base, it was just like the long corridor. In other words...'
Thinking of this, Aoba became nervous. He suddenly realized something very important that he had neglected.
"If the corridor was on the left and moved upwards, wouldn't that be Danzo's office?"
Aoba widened his eyes, and his pupils contracted. He vaguely realized that he had found the wrong direction.
Things might be simple. Two long corridors appeared parallel. One was under the Hokage Building, and the other was under Danzo's office.
There were rooms built between the two corridors. However, some rooms were open to the right and could enter through the corridor under the Hokage Building. Some rooms were open to the left, and the corridor under Danzo's office could be entered.
"Why didn't I think of this before?"
Aoba felt that his thoughts on this matter were a little complicated. Thinking of the underground, he directly thought of Root Base. Perhaps this corridor had nothing to do with Root.
Aoba immediately used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) and directly appeared behind the Hokage Building.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The instant Aoba appeared all kinds of sounds of collision could be heard. Powerful chakra unceasingly collided. Even if he did not see it, he could feel it. At this time, Konohagakure was in a very chaotic stage.
Aoba did not leave behind any Flying Thunder God Formula in Danzo's office. When he came, he did not dare to do anything there. After all, Danzo was there. If he was not careful, he might be discovered.
After all, Danzo was a student of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama. He was familiar with Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique).
Aoba was very clear that if he was seen by others when he used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique), maybe that person did not know what was going on. But if Danzo saw it, he would be recognized instantly.
At that time, even Danzo didn't know his identity at all. But he would remember Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique).
If one day, Aoba used his own identity to display Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique), then his identity would immediately be exposed and associated with what he had done in the past.
This was a very terrible thing!
Aoba understood the importance of Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique). In the entire history of the Ninja World, there were not only two people who could use Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) independently.
One was the Second Hokage that created Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique), and the other was the Fourth Hokage, Minato, who had brought Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) to fame.
Apart from that, no one could. This kind of label was too apparent on one's body.
Crash crash...
The pieces of paper on Aoba's body flew up and down, and his appearance changed again.
At this time, he wasn't at Root. Then he didn't need to worry so much.
Aoba transformed into Kumogakure's ninja Gasshi. He looked powerful, just like the Third Raikage, but was a few times smaller and had explosive muscles all over his body.
After transforming into Gasshi, Aoba no longer had so many worries. He directly walked toward Danzo's office, which he had just visited not long ago.
"Stop!"
Just as Aoba stepped in, he was immediately stopped by a voice.
It was a ninja wearing a mask. It was the person who had stopped him when Aoba first came because the pattern on the mask was the same.
"He actually still holds his post."
Aoba sneered. He found that when Danzo encountered this kind of thing, he really cherished his subordinates. No one was allowed to go.
What was the use of staying here at this time?
There was no one inside.
...
Lightning chakra appeared on Aoba's body. This lightning chakra seemed to have turned into armor, directly wrapping around his body.
At the same time, all the cells in Aoba's body were filled with this lightning chakra, and they became active.
Every cell was very excited, and it made him feel like he had been charged.
Just as the lightning radiance on Aoba's body formed, the Root ninja, who stopped him, instantly took out many shurikens and threw them directly at Aoba.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!
The shurikens were dense and precise and directly flew toward Aoba's body. They densely blocked all the surrounding positions, leaving no space at all.
"Too slow."
Aoba stood in place and did not even move. His eyes were filled with lightning chakra. Through the lightning chakra, he stimulated his cells. Even his optic nerves had reached an exceptionally keen level.
At this time, the shurikens seemed to slow down.
"So that's how it is."
Aoba stared ahead with his eyes wide open. He suddenly thought of the scene when the Third Raikage dodged Danzo's attack.
Danzo's attack speed was far faster than the shuriken thrown by the Root ninja in front of him.
However, Danzo's attack could not even touch the Third Raikage's clothes.
Not only because the Third Raikage was faster but also because after injecting the lightning chakra into the eye, it could stimulate the visual nerves and increase the speed at which the eye passes information to the brain.
This feels like a high frame rate mode was directly turned on.
However. even if the eyes of ordinary people were poured with lightning chakra, the amount of improvement it could bring was still limited.
It still belonged to the situation where the eyes could not keep up with the body.
Visually, there would be a limit to the performance.
The more Aoba used the Lightning Chakra Mode, the more he would clearly realize his desire for Byakugan in this mode.
If such lightning chakra was injected into Byakugan...
What kind of effect would that be?
This question immediately popped up in Aoba's head. After all, he was someone who had personally experienced it. He was more or less curious about the benefits that could be brought about by this kind of thing.
As he used more lightning release ninjutsu.
Of course, they were all used when making trouble. Aoba had already understood why Kumogakure ninjas often targeted the people from the Hyuga clan.
However, he only understood this matter. It did not mean that he could accept it. It didn't mean that he felt that there was no problem.
On the contrary, Aoba felt that there was a very big problem.
"Then can we think about it from a different perspective? Since you, Kumogakure, want to use Byakugan to upgrade this lightning release body technique, can our Hyuga clan use your lightning release body technique to upgrade Byakugan?"
At this moment, Aoba was thinking about many questions. He didn't know it was because the lightning chakra entered his brain, which made his thinking sharp.
Regarding the Hyuga clan (Gentle Fist), their only use was to seal all the chakra pathways in the body.
When they touched someone who had a bit of a cheat. In a few minutes, the sealed chakra pathways would be released.
Those Juken(Gentle Fist) techniques.
To Aoba's knowledge, it was simply a flashy but impractical thing. Their only biggest use was when sparring with each other inside the clan and the village.
Apart from that, if they have the time to grind and click those chakra pathways.
They might as well take out a handful of Kunai. It would be enough to turn people into sieves. Unless there was a crushing situation. Otherwise, if one's strengths were similar to or weaker than the opponent's, there would be almost no chance of continuous attack.
A single touch could decide life and death in a fight between experts.
Just like Senju Tobirama killed Uchiha Izuna.
If the Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) had turned into Rokujuyon Sho Hiraishin no Jutsu(Sixty-Four Palms Flying Thunder God Technique), then Tobirama would have been killed before he could finish his technique.
Aoba always felt that the Hyuga clan attack was lacking and gave his opponent a chance. Perhaps this was also why the Hyuga clan did not have any famous experts.
"In the future, I will find a chance to teach the Hyuga clan the lightning release body technique. Look at the overbearing feeling of Raikage's fist hitting flesh. Perhaps at that time, the Hyuga clan will be able to receive the most substantial improvement!"
At this moment, Aoba had already begun to imagine the Byakugan with 360-degree vision using the Lightning Release Chakra Mode to rampage through the enemy formation.
Any clan needed to improve!
Even a powerful family such as the Hyuga clan cannot remain complacent. Introducing the old and bringing forth the new will make people progress.
Aoba felt that the Hyuga clan was somewhat constrained by the Juken(Gentle Fist) created by their ancestors.
One must know that...
Ninjutsu in the Ninja World was also constantly changing. Nowadays, people stand on the shoulders of their ancestors to develop and create.
At least in Aoba's eyes...
Juken(Gentle Fist) was no longer so practical!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!
Just as Aoba was thinking, the shurikens thrown over by the Root ninja quickly flew in front of Aoba.
The lightning on Aoba's body surged. In an instant, his entire body flashed through the gaps between these dense shurikens, easily dodging them.
These dense shurikens did not even touch a single hair on Aoba's body. They were completely useless.
"You..."
The eyes of the Root ninja with the mask were wide open, and he could not believe that this was an action that a human could do.
The shuriken that he threw out was just for probing. He did not expect these things to hurt the Kumogakure ninja in front of him.
But in his knowledge. If he wanted to destroy this concentrated attack. At least get something out. Even if it was to block, there must be something!
But he hadn't expected that he would be able to dodge it so easily.
This thing was too fast!
This Root ninja was stunned for a moment.
It was just...
Just as he was stunned, Aoba had already appeared before him. His speed was so fast that this Root ninja could not react.
Snap!
Aoba slapped his palm on the head of this Root ninja, and there was a paper tag in his hand, and the word "sleep" was written on the paper tag.
Thud!
This Root ninja directly lost consciousness and fell to the ground. Not only could he not use chakra, but he could not even wake up.
"Isn't this better than acupuncture!"

Chapter 305: A Place Where Orochimaru Has Never Entered
Aoba muttered to himself in a low voice.
For this method of directly sealing a ninja, he still has a lot of knowledge. He had learned all of these from the books Minato had given him.
Because of this, he felt more and more that the Hyuga clan needed to undergo another evolution.
Other than Byakugan, they were born with nothing.
Those Juken(Gentle Fist) techniques were also created by their ancestors. It was just that their ancestors could only create such things at that time.
However, the lighting release body technique was at least created by the Second Raikage.
Based on the level, the Second Raikage was a Kage.
Aoba now increasingly felt that the chakra pathway blocking method of Juken(Gentle Fist) could be said to have extremely strong control over the enemy, but the same effect was too replaceable.
And also...
When a Hyuga ninja was fighting using Juken(Gentle Fist), it was a one-on-one fight. In that extremely fair environment, it can be said to be effective.
But if it was a free-for-all fight. It requires multiple ninjas from the Hyuga clan to fight together.
When they were using Juken(Gentle Fist), the attack style was as fine as rain. Although they could control the opponent before they finished the whole set of techniques, making it difficult for the opponent to counter. They also control themselves. After all, before they finished the whole set, the people of the Hyuga clan could not do anything else.
In Aoba's mind, the plan for the Hyuga clan was born for a moment. Of course. these plans should only be realized after Minato became the Hokage.
"Ding Dong! Memory Reading Succesful! Obtained: Katon: Karyu Endan(Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet)!"
The crisp electronic prompt rang out in Aoba's mind again. Just as he pasted the talisman paper on the Root ninja's head, he just happened to read his memory.
In a split second, Fragments of memories flooded into Aoba's mind.
Aoba's figure flashed, sticking to the wall, and then quickly searched through the memory of Root ninja about Danzo's office.
A moment later, Aoba's eyes lit up.
Sure enough!
Although the first floor of this building was where Hokage's Anbu lived. However, right below Danzo's office was a locked forbidden room.
No one was allowed to enter there!
In Aoba's opinion...
It should be the entrance to the underground corridor.
Aoba quickly walked towards the forbidden room on the first floor. After a while, he arrived at the door of the forbidden room, which was firmly locked. The lock was already rusty and covered with a thick layer of dust.
This place should not have been opened for a long time. At least five years. Aoba even felt that he might have said too little.
Then...
If he wanted to enter the secret corridor, he would need other methods.
Suddenly, Aoba looked up at Danzo's office on the second floor. Thinking of this, he quickly climbed up to the second floor.
He had been to Danzo's office once, so even without the Root ninja's memories, he could accurately find the location of Danzo's office.
A few breaths later, Aoba stood at the door of Danzo's office.
The door was tightly closed. However, it was not locked. As long as he twisted the door, he could open the door here.
Aoba did not know if Danzo had never had the habit of locking the door to the office, or he believed in the Root ninjas guarding the door outside, or he had forgotten to lock the door in a hurry.
Anyway...
No matter what the reason was. Aoba directly unlocked the door and walked in. After Aoba entered the office. He found that the office was particularly empty.
There was only a desk and a chair. The desk was extremely clean, and the bare surface of the desk could almost reflect light. There were no documents.
This kind of scene was expected by Aoba. He was not here to look for those documents. If he was looking for those things, the most likely place to appear was in Root.
In Aoba's opinion, Danzo was not stupid enough to casually place such important documents in an office without locks.
Aoba walked to the desk.
He looked at the chair.
He looked at the desk again.
He opened the drawer in turn.
There were only a few pens and a few blank scrolls inside.
"Hehehe."
When Aoba saw this scene, he sneered. If someone didn't know the situation and saw Danzo's office, they would probably label him as "clean and honest".
However...
Think about it carefully. This wasn't too excessive. At the very least, Danzo really didn't use his position to get money.
He was just killing people!
...
Aoba swept his gaze across the empty office and finally fixed his gaze on the bookshelf at the back.
This bookshelf wasn't big, and it was absolutely symmetrical and not small. The bookshelf was filled with all sorts of books, and it seemed like there was nothing wrong with it. However, Aoba had already realized the problem with the bookshelf.
Instantly, Aoba walked to the front of the bookshelf. He carefully looked at the bookshelves.
The books on the shelves were very neat. Looking at the paper from the side, it was slightly yellow. It could be seen that it had been bought for some years, but there were no signs of flipping it through.
This was very problematic, Danzo did not even leave a scroll here, but he arranged so many books and did not read much.
Suddenly, Aoba squatted on the ground and looked at the surface of the ground. Immediately, he saw some subtle traces of dragging on the wooden floor.
These traces were not obvious. Unless one looked carefully, it was difficult to find them.
However, in the entire Konohagakure. There were a few people who dared to squat on the ground under the bookshelf in front of Danzo and carefully observe if there were scratches on the floor.
If so, I'm afraid that they would disappear into thin air in a few minutes.
Aoba had seized the perfect opportunity using the Kumogakure ninja invasion.
From a certain point of view...
The Third Raikage helped him achieve his goal. He played the role of attracting attention for his actions. It could be said that he made a wedding dress for him.
This was the reckless Third Raikage. After losing a brain like Hari, he didn't think much about doing things, which gave him a lot of opportunities.
Aoba seized this opportunity. Otherwise, he didn't know how long he would have to wait before he could come to Danzo's office in such a carefree manner.
"Judging from the scratches on the base, it should be pushed directly from left to right..."
Aoba felt the sliding lines on the ground. It seemed that there was no mechanism on the bookshelf, but it needed to be pushed in a simple and crude way.
Instantly, Aoba came to the side where there was no trace on the ground of the bookshelf. Then he suddenly exerted force and pushed the bookshelf to the side.
Rumble...
The lower end of the bookshelf rubbed against the floor, creating a loud noise. This bookshelf was directly pushed away by Aoba using brute force.
In a split second, a secret door appeared in Aoba's line of sight.
The design of this secret door was exactly the same as the secret door on the 1st floor of the Hokage Building.
"I found it!"
A hint of joy flashed in Aoba's eyes. He was more and more looking forward to what was in the secret room. Since it was hidden very carefully, then it could be said that it contained important things.
Aoba immediately made his move. There weren't many opportunities like this. If he missed out on this opportunity, he wouldn't be able to do it again. It was very difficult for the Third Raikage to do it a second time.
Aoba slapped his palm on the secret door and instantly opened it, revealing a dark expanse.
It was already night. The surroundings were completely dark. The inside of the secret passage was extremely dark. He could not see his fingers when he stretched out his hand. He could not see anything at all.
Without any hesitation, Aoba walked into the secret passage. When he stood at the entrance of the secret passage. His hands dragged the bookshelf back to its former position, sealing his exit.
He could leave through Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique).
There was no need for him to return through the same route. This allowed him to enter without any pressure after encountering some secret places.
It was impossible to trap him!
After Aoba entered the secret passage, he immediately canceled the lightning chakra in his body and controlled the chakra in his body to gather it in his eyes.
In a split second, the vision in front of Aoba became much clearer. He was more accustomed to the dark environment than others, which could not cause him any trouble.
In front of him was a staircase. It was no different from the stairs when he just came up to the second floor.
Aoba walked down the stairs. After he turned a corner, a sealed door appeared in front of him.
This secret door was like an escape tunnel. It was between the stairs. This staircase could still continue down, and it was far from the end. The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B1jn.
"If I'm not wrong, this secret door should be that forbidden room's door on the first floor. The reason for closing the forbidden room might not be just because the forbidden room would lead underground, but also because it would lead to Danzo's office."
Aoba silently analyzed. He found that the architectural style here was unified. The building materials belonged to the same batch. Moreover, from the architecture, it was difficult to dig and upgrade. It should have been designed like this since the construction of this building.
Now that he thinks about it...
The secret passage below the Hokage Building should have been there since its establishment.
In other words...
These two secret passages should have been created by the First Hokage Senju Hasirama.
Well...
No!
It could also have been created by Tobirama!
Aoba's head was quickly thinking. No matter who built it, it should have been built when Konohagakure was built. Perhaps the specific situation could only be carefully checked after going in.
"So it really has nothing to do with Root."
A helpless smile appeared on Aoba's face. He was reflecting on his way of thinking. He was indeed a little too sensitive. As long as he thought of the underground, he would directly think of Root. But in fact, the past Hokage had the possibility of creating this secret passage.
Aoba continued to go down the stairs until he reached the bottom. He immediately saw a dark corridor.
Only...
This corridor was different from what Aoba had imagined.
It directly extended toward the direction of the Hokage Building. If there was no change in the direction behind… It could be said that this corridor was connected to the corridor in the Hokage Building.
The two corridors intersected vertically, but they did not collide at all. They were both single-way corridors.
"Interesting!"
The corners of Aoba's mouth curled up slightly. He was even more eager to see what was about to happen. His curiosity was completely stirred up by this long corridor.
However, Aoba did not immediately move forward. Instead, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the stairs. He then walked to the side of the stairs.
He raised his right hand and directly released his chakra from his right hand.
Hum!
As Aoba's palm trembled slightly. A Flying Thunder God Formula was engraved on the stairs, hidden in the darkness.
Aoba left a coordinate here.
He knew very well that it would not be so easy to come here again. It was impossible for him to come in through Danzo's office again, so he left a Flying Thunder God Formula here. It might be useful in the future.
"It's done."
Aoba nodded in satisfaction. Then, he looked in the dark long corridor. At a glance, there was endless darkness. There was no end to it at all.
This time, there was no more hesitation. Aoba took a step forward and walked along the dark corridor.
This long dark corridor was not really that long. It was only a few hundred meters long.
As such, when Aoba reached the end of the long corridor, he did not see any stone doors along the way.
However, at the end of the corridor, Aoba was pleasantly surprised.
There was another staircase. This time, it was not going up but down. It could be determined by the stairs' direction that this would sink into the ground again.
The place to go was even lower than the ground here.
Of course, it was still the same old rule. Aoba did not go down immediately. Instead, he raised his right hand and pressed down on the wall by the stairs.
Hum!
A stream of chakra surged out from his right hand and directly imprinted a Flying Thunder God Formula on the wall.
After Aoba imprinted the Flying Thunder God Formula on the wall, he placed a Flying Thunder God Formula on both ends of the corridor. Now he could come to both sides at any time.
Although this corridor was a straight line, as long as there was a Flying Thunder God Formula, he could go to both sides of the corridor.
After leaving a Flying Thunder God Formula, Aoba began to walk down the stairs in front of him.
Soon, he reached the bottom.
There was still a corridor below, and he was in the middle. One could see the other side at a glance.
"I understand!"
Aoba's eyes widened. He already knew where he was. Right now, he was trying to determine the location based on the Flying Thunder God Formula he sensed.
At this time, it was as if he was in a long corridor with a "U' shape.
His position was at the bottom of the "U'.
In other words...
The "U" shaped corridor that Aoba was in was just beside the corridor behind the secret door on the first floor of the Hokage Building. The middle of the "U" was where he found those corpses.
At this moment, Aoba looked toward the corridor on the left.
"The corridor on the left should be the corridor for those rooms in between those rooms with corpses."
Then, Aoba looked to the right again.
"The corridor on the right should be behind the straight corridor wall with candle sticks opposite the rooms with corpses. I just don't know if it's a long corridor or a big room."
Aoba quickly thought about it. Combined with the Flying Thunder God Formula he had set up, he roughly determined his current location, as well as the location of the corridor behind the secret door of the first floor in the Hokage Building.
"Then..."
Aoba turned his head to the corridor on the left, and his eyes became determined. He directly strode in that direction.
"Let's start with the corridor on the left!"
Aoba quickly walked over. He still had greater expectations for the secret rooms, so he was ready to uncover the secrets in the secret room first.
Aoba turned to the corridor on the left. The feeling of this corridor was the same as when he was at the secret door of the Hokage Building.
The same style.
The same material.
It was just like a mirror image.
The corridor behind the door of the Hokage Building had a stone door on the left and candlesticks on the right.
This corridor had candlesticks on the left, and some stone doors could be seen on the right.
"So this is the place!"
Aoba's eyes flashed with excitement. He took a step forward and directly walked into the corridor. As he walked, he knocked on the wall on the left.
After the wall on the left was knocked. The sound of the feedback was very dull. He could completely feel that it was a solid structure. He can confirm that there was no more space on the left side.
This corridor with the shape of a "U". There were no more outer layer settings. After Aoba confirmed these details, he had already walked to the first stone door.
This stone door was no different from the stone door he had seen in the Hokage Building.
Aoba stretched out his hand to push the stone door.
Rumble...
The stone door made a sound and was directly opened. Suddenly, a smell of decay came out from the stone room.
It was very pungent.
Compared to the preservative treatment in the stone room behind the secret door in the Hokage Building. It could be said to be heaven and earth.
The smell here was like entering a garbage dump, and it made Aoba unable to open his eyes.
"This smell is too fierce!"
Aoba felt a surge of nausea in his stomach, and he did not feel very well. He instantly controlled the chakra in his body and condensed it on his nose and mouth in an extremely gentle manner, sealing his sense of smell and taste.
After completing this operation, only then did Aoba feel a little better.
This kind of room. He didn't even want to imprint a Flying Thunder God Formula inside.
Then. Aoba looked inside the room.
There were more than a dozen corpses piled up on the ground. There were no iron shelves like in the secret door on the Hokage Building.
"I think I understand what is going on..."
Aoba instantly made a judgment in his heart. When he entered the corridor behind the secret door in the Hokage Building, he thought that he had entered the Root, so he did not think too much about it.
When he entered the place where Kumogakure's ninja body was stored, he found that the corpses had been processed, and their internal organs had been hollowed out. Obviously, it was the work of Orochimaru.
Then the iron shelves in the room should also be made by Orochimaru.
However, right now, these stone rooms…
Perhaps they were places that Orochimaru had never entered before!
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 306: Outlier and Mainstream
Aoba could make a simple judgment based on the degree of decay here. According to his understanding of Orochimaru, even if this person looked a bit disgusting, he would not make the place he worked in look messy.
There was no iron shelve in this room.
Then it could be said that those iron shelves were installed by Orochimaru, and the purpose was to extract the internal organs of those corpses and then conduct research on ninjutsu. The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B1jn.
But...
Don't these people need to be studied?
A big question mark appeared on Aoba's head. Along with this question mark, he thought of a possibility that even he didn't dare to think too hard.
The identities of these people...
Perhaps it was not that simple!
Aoba walked over to the corpses. He planned to do a simple examination of them.
After all, he was a medical ninja. He had accumulated a lot of practical experience through those prisoners. Moreover, he also had Tsunade's memories. Through studying Tsunade's memories, he gained a lot of medical knowledge.
This knowledge provided him with support, but he never expected he would use medical ninjutsu in such a situation.
Then, Aoba pressed his right hand on the wrist of one of the corpses.
Just as his fingers touched the skin of the corpse, the skin seemed to turn into dust and instantly turned into fine powder. Even flesh disappeared as if it had been weathered.
"Huh?"
Aoba was stunned. He had never thought that such a scene would happen. It was completely like a dried corpse, leaving only eerie white bones.
After that, he raised his finger and poked at the other corpse. The moment his finger touched the corpse, the skin of the corpse instantly turned into dust.
This stunned Aoba.
"Is this weathering?"
The corners of Aoba's mouth twitched. According to normal logic, these people were left in this place all day long without sunlight. Even if they were in a state of decay, it would be impossible for them to become like this. This was a bit too exaggerated.
There was definitely a problem here!
Moreover, this problem. It should be the reason why these people were thrown here.
Aoba looked at the other corpses. This time, he did not make a move. He only checked them with his naked eyes.
These corpses had a normal appearance on their surfaces, but they seemed to be a little dry and had the feeling of turning into dry corpses.
But...
The dried corpses wouldn't collapse with just a touch!
This was obviously still in its original appearance, but its interior was completely weathered.
From the appearance, the internal organs of these corpses hadn't been processed in the later stages.
In other words...
They were thrown here after their deaths. No one ever touches them again. Otherwise, they would have been turned into dust.
"It seems that if I want to know their identities, I have to read their memories."
Aoba slowly breathed a sigh of relief. He originally wanted to try to use the medical ninjutsu he had learned to simply check if the corpses of these people had been treated. He did not expect that, in the end, he still came to a general conclusion in a visual estimation. He still needed to read the memories.
Then, Aoba stretched out his right hand and touched the skull of the skeleton in front of him, whose skin he had punctured.
Hum!
A strange fluctuation suddenly appeared on Aoba's palm, and then a crisp electronic prompt sounded in his head.
"Ding Dong! Memory Reading Succesful! Obtained: Hijutsu: Kikaichu(Secret Technique: Parasitic Insects)!"
Along with the crisp electronic prompt. A secret technique appeared in Aoba's mind.
Only...
This secret technique could not be used directly. He needed to sign a contract with insects and give his own chakra to the insects so that his body could become the insect's nest.
"????"
When Aoba saw the reward given by the system, he was dumbfounded and did not know what to say.
'What the hell is this?!'
'System?!'
'What makes you think I can practice this thing? !'
Aoba never thought that he would obtain such a secret technique. Of course, he definitely would not use this secret technique. The insect itself made him feel extremely disgusted, not to mention transforming his body into a place that could provide the insect with chakra.
'Is this a joke?!'
Aoba did not even think about this technique. He had obtained many ninjutsu through the Mind Reading System. This was just the most insignificant one.
He could completely forget about it!
After that, Aoba did not immediately check this person's memories. Instead, he raised his right hand and touched the other corpses.
Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum!
The skin of every corpse that Aoba had touched would instantly turn into powder, directly shattering into dust. In the end, only the ghastly white bones remained.
There was no exception.
"Ding Dong! Memory Reading Succesful! Obtained: Hijutsu: Mushi Bunshin(Secret Technique: Insect Clone)!"
"Ding Dong! Memory Reading Succesful! Obtained: Hijutsu: Mushiyose(Secret Technique: Insect Gathering)!"
"Ding Dong! Memory Reading Succesful! Obtained: Hijutsu: Mushidama(Secret Technique: Insect Sphere)!"
"Ding Dong! Memory Reading Succesful! Acquired: Hijutsu: Mushiheki(Secret Technique: Insect Wall)!"
"..."
The system prompt rang out one after another. They were all secret techniques related to the insect from the Aburame clan.
"Good fellow."
When Aoba heard these electronic prompts, he was completely dumbfounded. He did not want to listen to these prompts anymore and directly walked out of the stone door.
Right now, there might be a lot of bacterial things in this stone room.
Although Aoba's current physique was not afraid of these things, it did not mean that he could accept being in this kind of environment.
Soon, Aoba walked out of this stone room.
He closed the stone door again and leaned against the stone wall with his back. He raised his hands and pressed them against his temples. He immediately began to check the memories of the people he had read just now.
Memories flooded into Aoba's mind one after another, showing the memories of the time of the village creation era.
These people were all ninjas of the Aburame clan.
It was precisely because they were all ninjas that practiced Insect Secret Technique that their bodies had tiny holes. After they died, their bodies became hollow. Many years later, Aoba touched them slightly and caused the bodies of these Aburame clan ninjas to collapse instantly.
"Hu..."
Aoba heaved a sigh of relief again. He had discovered many secrets from the Aburame clan ninjas.
Before Konohagakure was established. The Ninja World was in the Warring States Period.
Each clan became a group, and the ninjas fought for the clan. At that time, there was no village that could gather everyone.
Aburame clan was one of the most mysterious clans.
They signed a contract with the parasitic insect when they were born so that the insect could stay in their bodies and fight side by side with the bugs. Because of this, the Aburame clan rarely gets along with people from other clans. In itself, they were very mysterious.
Their characters were very reclusive. Their relationship with any clan was ordinary. However, their strength was abnormally strong. They were typically unremarkable but not to be trifled clan.
According to the memories of these Aburame.
At that time, the two most powerful clans, Senju and Uchiha, had turned to friendship. The heads of the two clans had decided to set up a village together, gathering the people of the big clan in the village. After that, the people in the village were the family. They opened their hearts to each other to form a bond to protect each other.
When such news spread to the Aburame clan, it immediately set off a huge storm.
Everyone in the Warring States Era knew how powerful the Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara were. They could imagine how terrifying the combination of the two would become. It was simply an unstoppable combination.
At that time, the news that a village was going to be established immediately caused a fierce discussion among the Aburame clan.
One of the branch members did not want Aburame to join Konohagakure. They felt that the Aburame clan should still maintain their original mystery. They did not need to become teammates with others. Everyone had different personalities and different fighting styles. They could not cooperate with each other at all.
These people who Aoba had read memories. It was the people who insisted on opposing the Aburame clan from joining Konohagakure.
Only...
The majority of the people in the clan wanted to join the village jointly established by Hashirama and Madara.
It must be known that these two people were not a small force; they had the strength to unify the world.
In the past, when the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan were constantly fighting, the other small clans could still have some space to live.
After all, these two powerful existences restrained each other. But after they joined hands, the whole world knew that no miracle could happen.
That being the case, the thoughts of the Aburame clan were very simple. If they couldn't beat them, they would join them.
This way, the Aburame clan would be able to receive the protection of the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan, while their clan could continue to be passed down.
At that time, there were many clans who had such thoughts.
It was precisely because of this.
During the era of village creation, Konohagakure directly jumped into the strongest village in the ninja world. Many big clans of the Warring States Era gathered there. Under the leadership of the Senju clan and Uchiha clan, they built a glorious Konohagakure together.
Through the memories of these people. It can be very clear and serious. There was absolutely no need for any modesty.
At the time when Konohagakure was first established, the Konohagakure at that time could be described as dominating an era.
In any period of later history, the Konohagakure of that era would be its most prosperous period.
But the only pity was...
The First Hokage Senju Hashirama only wanted to establish a village to protect his family, brothers, and protect the people in the village. He did not have the intention to fight for domination. Otherwise, the Ninja World would have been unified as a whole.
Aoba found from the memories of these corpses. Their thoughts were not much different from the other forces.
That was...
If they were to join the village of Hashirama and Madara, then they could accept it. After all, these two people were really too powerful.
But if it was just the Senju clan or the Uchiha clan. They were not too convinced.
Because of this, after joining Konohagakure, they did not change their minds. They only suppressed these thoughts. The deadline was, of course, the lifespan of Hashirama and Madara.
It was not until after the battle between Hashirama and Madara in the Valley of the End.
After a while, Senju Hashirama passed away. The thoughts of these Aburame clan ninjas began to become active. They began to plan to separate the Aburame clan from Konohagakure.
Gradually, these voices became louder and louder among the Aburame clan. Of course, it also became more and more ear-piercing!
Most of the people in the Aburame clan had already established a bond with the people in the village. They recognized Konohagakure very much and hated those who wanted to separate the Aburame clan from Konohagakure.
In the end, the Aburame clan couldn't help but report the names of these people to the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.
At that time, Tobirama had just taken over the position of Hokage and became Konohagakure's Second Hokage. Because he was the younger brother of Senju Hashirama, his foundation was still very stable, but the situation in the Ninja World had become very complicated.
Konohagakure was directly involved in the chaos of war.
After obtaining the news of internal strife reported by the Aburame clan, he decided to settle it down first so that they would have internal conflicts when they went out to fight.
So...
These Aburame all died at the hands of the Second Hokage. Moreover, their bodies were thrown into this secret room, and there were not many people in the Aburame clan who knew this thing.
Moreover, they all regarded this matter as a disgrace, so no one was willing to mention it.
At that time, it was precisely because of the people of the Aburame clan's heroic act of righteousness.
They were encouraged by the Second Hokage to contribute to the peace and development of Konohagakure. They were the ones who pushed the will of fire and also the practitioners and inheritors of the will of fire...
"Good fellow."
After checking the memories of these people, Aoba didn't know what to say for a moment.
Whether it was the people of the Aburame clan who were still alive or the people who had been killed as "traitors", they were essentially all for the sake of the Aburame clan to become better, hoping that the Aburame clan could develop better.
It was just that their standpoints were different. Of course, there was also a difference in the number of people.
Aoba saw the shadow of some other events in this incident.
Not to mention whether the minority obeyed the majority or not, or whether the truth was really in the hands of the minority, but Aoba could be sure of one thing. That was when the people thought that one thing was right, then even if he were not right, he would become right and vice versa.
Those who had objections were always the minority.
They will be called outliers.
Because when they become the majority, they will not be outliers but will directly become mainstream!
This was a very simple principle. When a clan wanted to stay in the village steadily, those who wanted to be stable were the mainstream, and those who wanted the clan to be divided were the outliers.
When a clan wanted to revolt and rise up to fight for the village regime, the will to revolt became the mainstream, and those who wanted a stable life and did not want to cause trouble became the outliers.
Just like Aoba had seen in Naruto Anime about Uchiha Itachi.
When the matter of killing the whole clan was weighed and collided with the position of the village.
What kind of choice would he really make?
It could be said that it all depended on his heart.
After making this choice, whether he hugged everyone or was aloof from then on depended on the group of people who had the same thoughts as him.
...
After checking the memories of these Aburame, Aoba suddenly felt very emotional. He saw the scene of Tobirama resolutely waving his sword at them.
Politics...
Who could say right or wrong?
This in itself was a collision of positions, and making decisions from their respective positions was in itself a different outlook on life, worldview, and values.
After that, Aoba shook his head, not letting himself think about these memories anymore. Instead, he continued to walk forward in the direction of the next stone door.
He vaguely realized that the reason why the room here was hidden in the dark was the simplest reason.
The simplest reason was that it could not be exposed to light.
However, what kind of corpse could be hidden from the light?
If it was a corpse left behind after killing the enemy, not only would it not be hidden from the light, but it could also be exposed and publicized. This was a very glorious thing.
Then...
What was stored here was not the enemy's corpse...
Instead...
The Konohagakure people's corpse!
When Aoba thought of this, his pupils shrank. Just as he was thinking, he had already arrived in front of the second stone door.
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 307: The First Generation of Darkness in Konohagakure!
Aoba slowly pushed open the stone door in front of him.
Rumble...
The sound of the stone door rubbing against the ground slowly rang out. Suddenly, the smell of a rotting corpse appeared again behind the stone door.
However, this time, the smell was not as dense as the one in the previous room.
In a split second, Aoba once again controlled his chakra to surge toward his nose, directly sealing off his sense of smell and taste so that he would not be affected by this rotting corpse stench.
Although the smell was filtered out, this feeling still made Aoba somewhat uncomfortable.
There were not many corpses in this room. There were only three of them.
This time, Aoba did not check their bodies. He directly walked in front of them and raised his right hand to touch their heads. He began to read their memories.
"Ding Dong! Memory Reading Succesful! Obtained: Fire Release..."
"..."
Three consecutive electronic prompts rang out. All of the ninjutsu given to Aoba was fire-release ninjutsu. Moreover, they were all fire-release ninjutsu that Aoba had already obtained.
To a certain extent, Aoba felt that he had already mastered almost all of the fire-release ninjutsu. Of course, except for the fire-release ninjutsu that required the use of Mangekyo Sharingan.
After Aoba read the memories of these people, he directly walked out and closed the stone door again. He leaned against the wall and pressed his hands on his temples, then began to check the memories of these people bit by bit.
"Hiss..."
Aoba suddenly took a cold breath because when he checked it, he was shocked. These three were all members of the Nara clan. At the same time when Konohagakure was established, the Nara clan led the Akimichi clan and Yamanaka clan to join Konohagakure together.
Of course, there was also the powerful Sarutobi clan that had come with them.
It was just that...
These three corpses were all high-level members of the Nara clan. After joining Konohagakure, they had planned to fight for a higher position for the Nara clan in the village.
They proposed to let the people of the Nara clan become the adviser of the Hokage so that the intelligence of the Nara clan could give full play to their advantages in the most suitable position.
But at that time, the one who was the adviser of the First Hokage was Tobirama.
After several consultations, Tobirama found out that the real purpose of these three people from the Nara clan was not to make the village better but to seek benefits for the Nara clan.
This concept was contrary to Tobirama's philosophy.
It was because of this reason that Senju Tobirama, who does not rub the sand in his eyes, decided to make these three people from the Nara clan disappear from the world.
"The Second Hokage is really capable!"
After checking the last memories of these three people, Aoba couldn't help but sigh. Before they died, they were all invited out by Tobirama and killed mercilessly on the spot.
At this time, Aoba looked at the memories from the two rooms. Then, he realized something that he had not thought of before.
These secret rooms were not built by Danzo, but they existed when Konohagakure was just established.
From the looks of it, almost all of the people who died here died because of the village, but the person who did it was Tobirama.
Some things were done during the First Hokage era, and some things were done after he inherited the Hokage position.
In other words...
Aoba thought of Hokage's Anbu building next to the Hokage Building.
The first floor of this building was where Hokage's Anbu lived, and the second floor was Danzo's office.
Then...
Before Danzo became the boss of Root, who did this place belong to?
When Aoba thought of this, the answer in his heart was clear.
The Second Hokage Senju Tobirama!
"Sigh..."
Aoba took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled. His brain was working quickly, and based on what he knew, he deduced something that he had never thought of before.
"If I'm not wrong..."
"When Konohagakure was just established, Senju Hashirama from the Senju clan became the First Hokage of Konohagakure. At that time, the First Hokage was soft-hearted, and his style of handling things was mostly gentle, so he needed an iron-blooded helper to be his advisor..."
"As the younger brother of the First Hokage, not only did he set up the Ninja School, he also set up the Anbu department. As the person who set up the Anbu department, it would not be an exaggeration to become the first leader of Konohagakure Anbu!"
"In other words..."
"The office Danzo currently uses is Senju Tobirama's!"
"The one who threw the corpses here is Senju Tobirama!"
"Senju Tobirama is the first generation of darkness in Konohagakure!"
"Before he became the Hokage, he was Shimura Danzo of Senju Hasirama. The light of the outside world was borne by Senju Hasirama, and Senju Tobirama silently did those shady things..."
When Aoba thought of this, he instantly understood. No wonder he chose Hiruzen to become the Hokage. It was not because Hiruzen was very suitable for the Hokage position but because he found that Danzo was more suitable for Anbu!
The person who admired Tobirama the most was indeed Danzo.
It was precisely because Tobirama felt that Danzo really wanted to become like him that he chose Hiruzen to become the Third Hokage.
As more and more details were discovered by Aoba, a secret that had been hidden for a long time, as well as a secret of Konohagakure that cannot be known to the world, gradually appeared in front of him.
Where there was light, there was darkness.
Where there was Konoha, there was Root.
Hokage must maintain a strong image, so there must be people with ruthless skills to do some shameful things.
Hiruzen and Danzo were also the same.
If not for Danzo's assistance and constantly helping Hiruzen eradicate his dissidents, Hiruzen definitely wouldn't have a stable position today.
In the same logic, although the powerful Senju Hashirama did not need to use any means to eliminate his competitors, there would always be some sinister people. This was something that could not be avoided.
There were so many people in such a large village; how could they be united as one?
This was something that was impossible. Even clansmen in a clan would not have the same thought. When the forest was big, there would be all kinds of birds, let alone the hearts of people.
Then...
There needed to be someone who secretly eliminated those who had a different heart.
"This means that Senju Tobirama can't beat Uchiha Madara. Otherwise, the Uchiha clan would have been long gone. However, what he did was a classic "Boiling Frog". By the time the Uchiha realized it, it was already beyond cure. This is like a malignant tumor. It has to be removed to save your life!"
Aoba sighed silently. Coincidentally, when he crossed over, his birthplace was in Anbu, and he could see the Ninja World from another angle.
Whether it was the Modern World or the Ninja world, behind the bright and beautiful scenery, there were often ugly things that people could not see. This was like some famous big cities. Some special streets would make people feel that they lived in another world, but there were many dirty things in the world that could not be seen by people living in the light.
After Aoba arrived at the Ninja World, he was shocked at every moment when witnessing the filth of the Ninja World.
Even though Konohagakure looked like the most peaceful village among the Five Major Ninja Villages. Various incidents of theft and robbery were constantly being staged every day, and the village was full of spies who were constantly placed in by other forces.
It was just like what Aoba had seen in the past.
Now, the warm sunlight that Konohagakure's ninjas felt was because many people who lived in the dark have endured another part of the darkness for them.
Aoba can't really comment on Tobirama and Danzo's approach if it was right or wrong. However, if he formed a fetter, whether it was for his friends or for the village, and encounters those threatening existences. If it were him, he would also get rid of them and eliminate future troubles.
Then, Aoba stepped forward again and walked toward the next secret room.
There were more or less corpses in each stone room, and they gave off an uncomfortable stench.
Aoba did not let any of them go and read the memories of these ninjas in turn.
Just as he had guessed, these people were all people who had joined Konohagakure. Almost every clan had them, and they all had a common characteristic, which was that they all had some ideas for Konohagakure.
"The things that Senju Tobirama did..."
Aoba suddenly took a deep breath, and his pupils contracted slightly. A strange thought emerged in his mind.
"Does the First Hokage know?"
This question instantly lingered in his head and could also refer to Hiruzen.
'Does Hiruzen know what Danzo had done?'
'No way!'
Aoba slowly shook his head. The appearance of the First Hokage Senju Hashirama appeared in his mind, the one who was very warm and loved by everyone.
No matter how gentle he was...
In the end, Hashirama was a leader who had killed his way out of the Warring States Era.
Aoba absolutely did not believe that any leader of a generation would be a merciful person. After all, even if he was facing his good friend, he could still stab his heart from behind, and he could also do the same thing.
Moreover...
Hashirama should know that Tobirama had developed such a heaven-defying forbidden technique as Edo Tensei.
Developing such a technique. I'm afraid that there will be more living sacrifices than Orochimaru learning this technique!
Aoba's original perception of Hokage has undergone some changes all of a sudden.
'Sure enough!'
'A person who could sit in the position of Hokage.'
'Who could be a real innocent little cutie?'
As Aoba pondered, he had already walked to the last room at the end of the corridor.
The few rooms in front were already empty.
Of course, Aoba did not find any corpses related to Hiruzen and Danzo. Obviously, these corpses had nothing to do with Danzo. But it was still rare to find something that had nothing to do with Danzo.
"This is the last room."
Aoba raised his hand and pushed open the stone door in front of him.
After the stone door opened. This room was even more spacious than the previous one. There was a huge box in the middle of the room, and there were taut ropes on the outside of the box.
"This is..."
Aoba widened his eyes. He suddenly had a familiar feeling. This was the feeling he had never seen in the few rooms earlier. But now, this room had it.
He had seen a room like this before.
He had also seen the boxes in this room.
To be precise...
It was a coffin!
"It turns out that the place Black Zetsu said at that time is here!"
Aoba pursed his lips and became nervous, but he still walked quickly to the coffin.
Standing next to the coffin, he could clearly see that it was covered with a thick layer of dust.
"This is an empty coffin..."
Aoba's breathing became hurried. He felt that if this was an empty coffin, his guess was correct, but if there was someone inside, then he was wrong.
Suddenly, Aoba held his breath. His hands touched the edge of the coffin lid.
He immediately used Chokeijugan no Jutsu(Ultralight-Weight Rock Technique) and directly changed the weight of the coffin lid. In an instant, the coffin lid seemed to have no weight, and he gently lifted it up.
All of a sudden, the contents of the coffin suddenly appeared.
Aoba immediately looked into the coffin.
"Sigh..."
Aoba immediately heaved a heavy sigh of relief. As he expected, this coffin was empty.
"This is the coffin that used to hold Uchiha Madara's corpse!"
Aoba could not help but sigh, and then he closed the lid of the coffin again. When he was watching Naruto before, he saw Black Zetsu explain what happened to Madara in the past.
This was something he had learned early on.
Before he died, Madara predicted that Tobirama would not dispose of his corpse and would use his body to study the secrets of Sharingan, so he had Izanagi in his right eye in advance and let him successfully dodge the fatal blow.
That was exactly what Senju Tobirama likes - doing human experiments.
Well... n(0)vel(b)(j)(n)hosted the premiere release of this chapter.
In fact, he already had a deep understanding of Uchiha's Sharingan ability.
Who knows how many Uchiha clan members he had studied?
However, those corpses were not discarded here.
Aoba did not leave the secret room directly. He walked toward the door and raised his right hand to press down on the wall.
Hum!
Aoba's chakra flowed into the wall through his palm. After that, a black circle appeared on the wall. It was Aoba's Flying Thunder God Formula.
Aoba placed a coordinate mark here. In the future, as long as he wanted to, he could come here at any time.
"Wait..."
Aoba thought of something strange again. Suddenly, his face changed slightly. He suddenly turned his head and stared at the coffin that had nothing inside.
"Uchiha Madara's body disappeared. Did the First and Second Hokage not suspect that Uchiha Madara was not dead?"
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 308: Raikage-sama, Hari Is Dead; Mission Complete!
Aoba looked at the empty coffin that used to hold Madara, and he was stunned.
Whether it was the First Hokage or the Second Hokage, they were not fools, especially the Second Hokage. He did not immediately deal with Madara's corpse, just to study it.
Then he found that the corpse was gone.
Did he not have any doubts?
A big question mark appeared on Aoba's head. Now, he couldn't figure out exactly what had happened in the past. What kind of reaction would he have when he saw Madara's corpse disappear? What kind of decision would he make?
These questions came out of his mind one by one, making him very curious about what had happened in the past.
"If only I had the chance to touch Tobirama's head!"
Aoba muttered silently, then pushed open the stone door again, stepped out of the room, and returned to the corridor.
"I don't know what's going on outside, but the shadow clone above the Hokage Rock still hasn't given me a hint, which means that the village can still hold on for now."
The shadow clone that Aoba placed above the Hokage Rock was especially used to monitor the battle. Once there was a situation where Hiruzen couldn't stand it anymore, the shadow clone would remove himself and tell Aoba about these things.
At that time, it was time for Aoba to show his acting skills. Now was not the right time, so he could take advantage of this time to go to the opposite corridor to take a look.
In fact, Aoba's heart was already filled with expectations for the opposite corridor.
He already knew what this secret room was used for, and now he was not so curious anymore. It was equivalent to strolling around before waiting for the right time.
Gradually, he returned to the bottom of the U-shaped corridor. He once again saw the stairs that he had walked through when he came and directly walked in the opposite direction.
"Huh?"
Aoba directly went to the right side of the U-shaped corridor. When he walked this way, he felt a little different. He hadn't advanced, yet he stopped and just stared at the ground beneath his feet.
"This place is very old."
Aoba said to himself. Then he looked at the corridor behind him. It was the corridor that he had just walked through.
"But it's quite new compared to there."
Aoba instantly made a judgment. The corridor on the right was not created when Konohagakure was just established but was newly excavated about ten years ago.
The stone materials used on both sides were completely different from wood materials. Even the lamps were of different styles, and they were all on both sides.
Aoba vaguely realized all of a sudden. This place was no longer under Senju Tobirama. Judging from the time of the renovation, the long corridor here should have been something that happened after Senju Tobirama died.
"This place was done by Danzo, right?"
Aoba's face suddenly became serious. He felt that there might be a real big secret hidden here.
"If Danzo found the secret door in the Hokage Building after inheriting this room and entered it to find the secret inside..."
"Then it is very likely that Danzo will copy his teacher and build a secret room on the other side."
"In this way."
"Danzo can do the same thing as Tobirama!"
"Then..."
Aoba looked at the corridor on the right again. He felt that the secret of Hiruzen's era might be hidden in the corridor on the right.
On the left was the first generation of darkness, and on the right was the second generation of darkness in Konohagakure.
If Danzo really imitated the Tobirama style, then it was entirely possible that he would also throw the corpses he had dealt with inside.
After all...
Danzo did not destroy Tobirama's treasure.
Thinking of this, Aoba immediately stepped into the corridor on the right. This side was a long corridor, and there were lamps and candlesticks on both sides, but there were no candles on it.
When Aoba walked forward, he knocked his hand to the left. He suddenly felt that the left side was empty. It was the secret room in the Hokage Building.
Then he knocked on the wall on the right side. This time, the feeling was different. It was completely solid. There was no open space at all.
"Something is wrong!"
Aoba frowned slightly. He found that he was wrong. The truth was different from what he imagined. There was no room in this corridor. It was just a corridor.
Aoba walked toward the end of the corridor with doubts in his heart, slowly walking further and further.
This corridor was very long.
This made him increasingly feel that Danzo would not randomly dig out such a long corridor. There would definitely be a use for it.
A few minutes later, Aoba walked to the end of this long corridor, and there was a door there.
"There is indeed something!"
The corners of Aoba's mouth curled up slightly as he stared at the stone door. He had already begun to guess what was behind the stone door. His eyes were fixed on the stone door as he raised his hands, preparing to push it open.
Hum!
In a split second, Aoba's head was suddenly shaken by a piece of information. The shadow clone he had placed on top of the Hokage Rock had been removed.
Scenes of information flooded into Aoba's mind in an instant.
The Third Raikage fought against Konohagakure many times by himself, and even after fighting for a long time, they were unable to break through his defense.
Danzo's chest was heavily poked by Jigokuzuki: Yonhon Nukite(Hell Stab: Four Fingered Assault), and his entire chest caved in. Many of his chest bones were broken, and he had lost his fighting strength.
Konoha White Fang, Hatake Sakumo's chakra knife, was cut off by Third Raikage's hand knife.
Only the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was still struggling to hold on. Wind release, earth release, and fire release were continuously used. He had already stood out from the crowd of ninjas. He was indeed the most powerful one, and he had also summoned his summoned beast Monkey King: Enma.
"This won't do. If I don't go back now, it will be dangerous. I'll come back here next time!"
Aoba suddenly pressed his right hand on the wall next to the stone door. He controlled the chakra in his body and instantly imprinted a Flying Thunder God Formula on the wall.
Hum!
A Flying Thunder God Formula suddenly appeared. That small black circle, in the incomparably dark corridor, was already very difficult to find.
Swish!
The next moment, Aoba immediately used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) and instantly connected to the Flying Thunder God Formula above the Hokage Rock. He then instantly appeared and maintained the appearance of Gasshi.
"Jigokuzuki: Ippon Nukite(Hell Stab: One Fingered Assault)!"
The Third Raikage suddenly roared. His voice was full of excitement. From the fight earlier to now, it made him feel very good, and his mood was extremely good.
Especially the feeling of who could beat me, which made Third Raikage feel very good.
Now that his body was in the near-perfect state of Lightning Chakra Mode, not only was his speed very fast, even his defense had reached its peak.
By this state, even the Hachibi: Gyuki, would be stuffed into an amber bottle by him. This chapter was first shared on the N0v3l-B1n platform.
Not to mention this weak Konohagakure.
Right now, his left hand had already turned into an index finger. The impact of this finger was extremely strong. It directly stabbed toward Hiruzen's body as if it wanted to pierce through Hiruzen.
BOOM!!!
Along with an explosion, the earth wall in front of Hiruzen was like paper. It was broken by Raikage's finger and instantly exploded into small pieces of soil.
Aoba stood on the Hokage Rock and saw this scene. He immediately understood that it was his turn to perform. He turned to look at Hari, who was lying beside him.
"Hari-sama, do you still remember me?"
Aoba imitated Gasshi's appearance and grinned at Hari. That smile looked very simple and brilliant. Only when this smile was reflected in Hari's eyes. His eyes seemed to be burning. They were filled with deep resentment and anger.
"GAS! SHI!"
Hari gritted his teeth as he spoke. His voice seemed to squeeze out of his throat as he stared at Aoba's face. His eyes looked like they were about to spit fire, and his anger reached its peak at this moment.
He had thought of when he might meet Gasshi again one day, but he had never expected that it would be like this.
"Hahahaha, it seems that you still remember me. Last time, you were lucky enough to survive. This time, it won't be so easy!"
Aoba suddenly took a step forward and almost instantly appeared beside Hari.
Instantly, Aoba grabbed Hari by the collar like he was holding a chick.
"What are you doing?!"
Hari's expression suddenly changed greatly. He suddenly felt dizzy. Right now, his entire body was in a paralyzed state. Only his arm could move a little, but there was no possibility of struggling at all.
This time, Aoba didn't answer Hari's question. Instead, he directly jumped down from the Hokage Rock.
The moment Aoba jumped down, his whole body was wrapped with lightning chakra. He directly used Raiton Chakura Modo(Lightning Release Chakra Mode), forming an extremely strong defense around his body. He looked like a war god wrapped in lightning but completely smaller than the Third Raikage.
"Raikage-sama!"
Aoba gathered lightning chakra in his throat. Not only did it greatly increase his volume, but it also produced some electrical sound effects.
Following the sound of this voice. Almost all the people in the middle of the battle could hear Gasshi(Aoba)'s voice. At this time, the hearts of every Konohagakure ninjas all skipped a beat.
Another one came!
It was a Kumogakure ninja who also knew Raiton Chakura Mōdo(Lightning Release Chakra Mode)!
BANG!
Aoba's body slammed heavily on the ground, and a violent tremor instantly sounded.
At this moment, the ground under Aoba's feet had already exploded from the impact of his fall. The gravel on the ground flew up, and one of the stones flew back to Hari's face and smashed at him heavily.
Aoba falling created a great deal of dust and made people only see a figure flashing with lightning in it.
"Gasshi?"
Sure enough, the Third Raikage was also affected by Gasshi(Aoba)'s words. He instantly stopped his hand movement and let go of Hiruzen, who was about to be unable to continue dodging and turned to look in Gasshi(Aoba)'s direction.
At this time, everyone looked at the man who had come out of the dust and knew that the appearance of this person might directly change the situation.
Gradually.
Gasshi, who had transformed into Aoba, walked out of the smoke. His figure gradually became clear and directly appeared in everyone's sight.
At the same time, Aoba was still holding the paralyzed Hari in his hand.
"I already got Hari!"
Aoba imitated Gasshi's voice and shouted at the Third Raikage. His voice was loud and clear and could be clearly transmitted to the ears of every Kumogakure ninja.
The distance between him and the Third Raikage was not far. Normally, there was no need to shout at the top of his voice like this. However, this was what he said deliberately. He wanted everyone in the village to hear him.
All of a sudden, All Kumogakure ninjas were extremely excited. It was as if they had received a buff. Even their strength had become even stronger.
In the hearts of these Kumogakure ninjas, Hari had become a type of mental support. As long as Hari was here, everything would become orderly.
However, before they could be happy. Gasshi's voice sounded in their ears again.
"Should I kill him now?"
Aoba imitated Gasshi's voice, letting this voice echo in Konohagakure's night sky.
Whether it was Konohagakure ninja or Kumogakure ninja, question marks appeared on their head.
What is going on?
Who did he say to kill?
Did he just say kill Hari?
Wasn't he supposed to be rescued?
At this time, everyone was dumbfounded. They did not understand what Aoba meant.
Only Danzo knew that Gasshi had assassinated Hari once, but he did not succeed. However, he did not know how Gasshi found Hari.
"Kill what?"
The Third Raikage was confused. He did not know what Gasshi meant by these words. He was just about to praise Gasshi for saving Hari, but before he could praise her, Gasshi said something that made him feel strange.
"Should I kill him now?!"
Gasshi's voice was still extremely loud as if he was talking about this matter to the entire Ninja Village.
"So it really was Raikage-sama who wanted to kill me!" A miserable smile appeared on Hari's face. At this moment, his belief collapsed. This was Kumogakure, who he had risked his entire life for, and they actually wanted to do this to him in the end.
"Alright, it's time to send you on your way. Didn't I tell you that you won't have this kind of trouble in the future?"
Aoba looked at Hari, then turned Hari's body around, and without hesitation, he broke the latter's head.
"Raikage-sama, Hari is dead; mission complete!"
Aoba said loudly. He focused his chakra on his throat, and his voice was like a loudspeaker so that everyone could clearly hear it.
"AHH!"
In an instant, Konohagakure seemed to have exploded. Everyone could not believe their ears.
What on earth happened?
The Third Raikage actually sent people to kill Kumogakure Anbu Leader Hari.
What kind of operation was this?!
Question marks appeared on everyone's heads, and their eyes were full of confusion. Especially those Kumogakure ninjas, they had no desire to continue fighting.

Chapter 309: Such a Crazy Water Spray Is Simply Outrageous!
"What happened?"
"Hari-sama is dead?"
"Did Third Raikage-sama really order to kill Hari-sama?"
"What exactly is going on?"
"Wasn't it Gasshi that killed Hari-sama?"
"Just now, Gasshi seemed to have said that he was ordered by Raikage-sama."
"..."
In the crowd, the Kumogakure ninjas could not help but discuss among themselves. They were very puzzled in their hearts. They did not know what had just happened. It could be said that they were completely confused.
All of a sudden, these Kumogakure ninjas all lost the will to continue the battle. After they got the news of Hari's death, their beliefs collapsed. They did not know why to fight and how to fight.
In front of the crowd.
The Third Raikage was suddenly splashed with dirty water by Gasshi(Aoba), and his face was full of displeasure. He stared at Gasshi(Aoba), raised his left hand, and pointed at him.
"Gasshi, don't talk nonsense!" The Third Raikage said loudly. He was a rash person and had a one-track mind. When he was suddenly slandered by Gasshi(Aoba), his first reaction was to clarify this matter.
But...
This was exactly what Aoba wanted to do. Aoba was waiting for the Third Raikage to explain himself.
In this kind of matter, how could a rash person like the Third Raikage be a match for Aoba? It could be said that Aoba would be led him by the nose.
"I understand!"
Aoba suddenly shouted. He still used the method of condensing chakra in his throat, allowing his voice to reach every corner of Konohagakure, clearly drilling into the ears of all the ninjas present.
At this time, Kumogakure ninjas were at the moment when their beliefs were about to collapse.
Everyone did not know what was going on. Now that they heard Gasshi's voice again, they immediately perked up their ears, waiting for the explanation.
"As Raikage-sama said it!"
Just as everyone was looking forward to it, Aoba spoke loudly. His voice was so loud that everyone present could hear it clearly.
As his voice rang out. The nerves of the Kumogakure ninjas all tensed up. Everyone held their breath and was looking forward to what Gasshi would say next.
Only...
In the forest where no one had noticed. The four shadow clones who had transformed into Kirigakure ninja form were quickly heading toward them.
"This matter has nothing to do with Raikage-sama. I, Gasshi, did it on my own. It was my personal wish to kill Hari. You must not misunderstand Raikage-sama!"
Aoba directly explained this matter in a way that wanted to cover up this matter.
In a split second, the scene was once again in an uproar.
"Why does Gasshi sound so strange? Is he being threatened by Raikage-sama?"
"I think so too. I feel that Gasshi is about to become a traitor. He can't go back to Kumogakure."
"Is this a mission or not?"
"Why do I feel that Gasshi is still carrying out Raikage-sama's mission!"
"I also feel the same, but I feel like Gasshi silently shouldered everything and became Raikage-sama's scapegoat!"
"..."
The Kumogakure ninjas in Konohagakure began to discuss. They no longer attacked Konohagakure. Instead, they quickly gathered together and formed a small team.
Kumogakure ninjas stopped attacking; Konohagakure ninjas also took a break. They were all confused.
What was going on?
Strange things happen every year, especially this year!
Why did they suddenly turn into eating melons and watching a show in the middle of a battle?!
Big question marks appeared in the minds of every Konohagakure ninjas.
They just felt that this matter was inexplicable and completely out of line with what they imagined about Kumogakure ninjas.
Near the Hokage Building.
The Third Raikage stared blankly at Gasshi, who was not far away from him. His brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes flickered with intense doubt.
Why did he feel that something was wrong?
But...
From Gasshi's words, Gasshi was obviously trying to defend him. However, he just felt that there was something strange about it.
"Gasshi, what is the meaning of this? Who told you to attack Hari?" The Third Raikage seemed to have forgotten that he was still on the battlefield. He directly looked at Gasshi and coldly asked this question.
Just as the Third Raikage said this, the Kumogakure ninjas had already arrived near the Hokage Building one after another. They just happened to hear the Third Raikage questioning Gasshi.
But...
They couldn't explain why. When these Kumogakure ninjas heard these words, they suddenly felt as if he was just acting. Even the slightly higher-level ninjas in Kumogakure stared at the Third Raikage suspiciously, not knowing how things would develop in the end.
Just at this time, Aoba saw these Kumogakure ninjas rushing over.
This was just as he had expected. He had read the memories of Hari and Gasshi. Including Gasshi, every Kumogakure ninjas were extremely respectful of Hari.
Hari was indeed just thinking about Kumogakure. He did not have any selfish motives and also did not have any personal forces. Of course, the one-track-minded Raikage had never doubted Hari at all.
However, this was originally a peaceful situation, and just like that, it was easily broken by Aoba.
When Aoba played the role of Gasshi to stir up trouble, Kumogakure's tragic ending was already doomed.
Now, Kumogakure's ninjas began to doubt their Third Raikage. Gradually, they realized that it might be because the Third Raikage felt that Hari's achievements were too outstanding, so he used this method to deal with Hari.
As these Kumogakure ninjas heard the Third Raikage's words, they all looked at Gasshi(Aoba). However, they did not know that this person was Aoba. Instead, they thought that Aoba was Gasshi.
Sensing the gazes of the surrounding people, the corners of Aoba's mouth curled up slightly, revealing an evil smile.
"The matter of killing Hari was all done by me. It has nothing to do with Third Raikage-sama. However, I advise Third Raikage-sama to return to Kumogakure quickly. Otherwise, Kumogakure might be captured by Kirigakure."
Aoba fiercely threw out this sentence. First, he acted as if he was taking responsibility for the Third Raikage. Then, he told the Third Raikage about Kirigakure. It looked like he was reporting to Third Raikage about the information he had found.
All of a sudden, all Kumogakure ninjas revealed expressions of not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Now, everyone had a very clear feeling. That was, Gasshi was concerned about Kumogakure.
Just to carry out this special mission, he had to bear the weight that he shouldn't have.
After Gasshi finished speaking, his figure flashed and quickly disappeared, preparing to leave this place.
"Don't go!"
"Make it clear!"
"You can't go yet!"
The Third Raikage stared at Gasshi, who had run away and immediately roared. Then, he assumed a chasing posture. However, he didn't chase after him directly. Instead, he suddenly stopped and stood in place.
When this scene fell into the eyes of Kumogakure ninjas, it immediately brought them a very disillusioned feeling. It was as if the Third Raikage was showing them very clumsy acting.
Only...
The Third Raikage himself knew what had happened. Just when he was about to chase after Gasshi. He suddenly felt four very strong chakras coming out from above the Hokage Rock, and they had already locked onto his position.
If it were only this, then it would not surprise him too much. The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B1jn.
The fundamental reason why he stopped chasing after him was that Gasshi did not leave by himself. Instead, he directly entered the lineup of the four Kirigakure ninjas and then suddenly disappeared.
This scene, it directly made the Third Raikage fall into deep thought.
"Sh*t!"
"I fell into a trap!"
"This is a trap!"
The Third Raikage suddenly realized that Gasshi did not come here by chance. Instead, he seized this opportunity to appear in front of him and kill Hari.
Then...
Were Gasshi's words trustworthy?
Had Kumogakure been attacked by Kirigakure?
Now...
Should he go back?
The Third Raikage's head suddenly became a little messy. He hated this kind of thing the most. If they had the ability, they should fight it out fair and square!
Why do they have to play these so-called conspiracies?
Of course, he did not know. The reason why Aoba played tricks on him was that he was in Konohagakure.
If his strength was exposed in this place. Then many things would become extremely troublesome in the future.
Instead...
If it was outside of Konohagakure. It was not certain who would win and who would lose!
...
At this time, the Third Raikage's eyes were focused on the top of the Hokage Rock. He could see four shadows. Judging from the style of their clothing, they were Kirigakure ninjas.
All of a sudden, the four Kirigakure ninjas began to make hand seals together. Their hand seals weren't too fast, but they weren't slow either. As a whole, they were orderly, showing a meticulous feeling.
The movements of the four people were uniform, and it looked like one person was doing it. The rhythm was completely the same.
"Suiton: Dai Bakusui Shoha(Water Release: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave)!"
The voices of the four Kirigakure ninjas rang out at the same time, clearly transmitting into the ears of everyone present.
Everyone here, including Kumogakure ninjas and Konohagakure ninjas, heard the same words.
After that, under the gazes of many people below the Hokage Rock. The four Kirigakure ninjas took a deep breath at the same time, causing their chests to bulge as if they had been filled up.
In an instant, the four Kirigakure ninjas sprayed water at the ground beneath the Hokage Rock, and a surging stream of water gushed out from their mouths.
The water from the four Kirigakure ninjas rushed down and suddenly felt like the Hokage Rock had turned into a waterfall.
This strong stream of water instantly poured into the village, and the first thing that it hit was the Third Raikage and Kumogakure ninjas.
The great exploding water colliding wave that Aoba used did not have any special uses. It was just spraying water and using the water that he spat out to scatter all the ninjas outside of Konohagakure.
As the water flowed down from the sky like a waterfall, it directly wrapped up the Konohagakure and Kumogakure's ninjas, causing them to flutter along with the water flow.
"Damn Kirigakure ninja!"
The Third Raikage's face became ugly. In fact, water could not be said to be the weakness of lightning chakra mode, but it could weaken his lightning chakra armor to a certain extent. In addition, the resistance and buoyancy of the water made him very uncomfortable fighting.
Not only the Third Raikage. The other Kumogakure ninjas were also in the same situation. They were more suitable to fight on the ground.
Once they were caught in the water, their overall combat ability would fall sharply.
Of course, Konohagakure ninjas were also not in good condition. However, they were not weakened that much compared to Kumogakure ninjas. They still had the strength to fight.
However, among these people. The one with the greatest weakening was none other than the Uchiha.
Their overall attack was mainly fire-release ninjutsu. Now, under the impact of this waterfall, it was not easy for them to spit out sparks.
"Is this really a ninjutsu?"
"Can water-release ninjutsu be used like this?"
"There's not even water here, but the waterfall can be sprayed out to the ground!"
"This water spraying technique is too strong!"
"Are they Kirigakure ninja?"
"..."
Whether it was Konohagakure ninjas or Kumogakure ninjas, they were all convinced by Aoba's water spraying skill. They had never seen such a capable ninja.
When they encounter such a violent current. On the contrary, they did not know how to respond.
Above the Hokage Rock.
Aoba's four advanced paper clones had no intention of stopping. According to Aoba's plan, he wanted to use all the chakra of these four advanced paper clones before ending it.
These water currents can be said to be the waters of truce!
As these people flooded into Konohagakure, it could be said that Konohagakure instantly entered the state of flood, making them have a feeling of fighting in Kirigakure.
This kind of crazy water spray was simply outrageous!
Of course, the spray this time also made Konohagakure and Kumogakure ninjas realize how terrifying Kirigakure was.
Now both sides no longer had the desire to continue fighting.
Originally, the Third Raikage was still very eager to fight. He held the idea that if he did not defeat them, he would not return. But he never expected that he would encounter such a thing. Kirigakure was now here to interfere.
The four Kirigakure ninjas sprayed water so fiercely that they directly drowned Konohagakure. There was no way to fight anymore. Now, they could only retreat.
"Retreat!"
The Third Raikage said helplessly. He was really depressed in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. Now he began to worry a little. If it were as Gasshi said that Kumogakure was attacked by Kirigakure, then things would really become dangerous.
In his original impression. He had always thought that Kirigakure was their subordinate and had no strength at all. He did not expect that there would be so many strong ninjas when he was not paying attention.
This instantly refreshed his understanding of Kirigakure. It also made him really pay attention to Kirigakure.
He was even more unwilling to stay longer in Konohagakure, afraid that Kirigakure would take the opportunity to attack Kumogakure.
"Yes!"
When these Kumogakure ninjas heard the Third Raikage's order, they immediately responded. After knowing that Hari was dead, they were a little confused and suspected their Third Raikage.
But at this moment. They understood that it was meaningless to be tangled with this thing. No matter what, Hari was already dead.
They were Kumogakure ninjas. Who dared to question the Third Raikage?
At least they did not dare!
Apart from this, the Konohagakure ninjas also began to change their views on Kirigakure ninjas. All of them began to pay attention to them again.
This was also Aoba's goal.
He made an indiscriminate attack on Konohagakure.
However, it was a relatively less destructive water-release ninjutsu. Even if it could cause some economic losses, it would not cause any personnel damage.
Through this method, he wanted Konohagakure people to wake up.
The Third Ninja World War...
It had already erupted!
...
When Aoba returned to the top of the Hokage Rock, he used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) in front of everyone's blind spot and directly returned to the stone door.
He looked at the stone door, slowly raised his hands, and pushed it open.
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 310: The Secret of Senju Clan Disappearance!
Rumble!
Accompanied by the sound of the stone door rubbing against the ground. Aoba pushed open the stone door in front of him.
At this time, Danzo was already seriously injured. The outside was also flooded with water. No one would enter this secret room. He could be at ease and boldly check the contents inside.
He did not know if there would be such an opportunity in the future. However, he did not want to leave everything behind in the future. Now that he had discovered that there was a secret here.
Moreover, he still had a chance to check this secret. Then he was ready to check it out.
Aoba walked into the secret room.
Hum!
Just at this time, In Aoba's mind, a piece of information was transmitted back, all of which came from the four advanced paper clones who had transformed into Kirigakure ninjas.
After transforming all the chakra in their bodies into a large water current, they crazily poured out. After all the chakra was used, the shadow clones were released, and the information was sent to his mind.
"Kumogakure really retreated!"
The corners of Aoba's mouth slightly curled up, revealing a satisfied smile. He was very satisfied with this result.
After all, his goal was to let Kumogakure ninjas withdraw from Konohagakure. He did not want to end the Third Ninja World War.
Therefore, as long as the main battlefield was not Konohagakure. Then everything had nothing to do with him.
But...
If they came under his eyes. Then he was naturally unwilling!
Aoba felt that after the water current formed by the water release had directly turned Konohagakure into a water city, it would be best for Kumogakure and Konohagakure to stop fighting temporarily.
But before that, he had to get rid of Hari. That person could not be an aide behind Danzo.
Aoba had read Hari's memories, and it was very clear that that person was full of tricks and had many things in his mind.
Now it seemed that Danzo was using Hari.
But in fact...
It was hard to tell who was using who.
If this person was under Danzo's command, it was equivalent to adding remote control to a ticking time bomb. In an instant, it caused the uncertainty to double. This was not an outcome that Aoba could accept.
Of course, the reason why Aoba used the identity of Kirigakure ninja was that he wanted to pull Kirigakure into the muddy water directly.
This way, not only could Kumogakure and Kirigakure, who were originally in the state of alliance, fall apart and instantly become hostile. But he could also ring a police bell for Konohagakure, who were in a state of fantasy about peace.
The Third Ninja World War was coming.
This was not something that could be reconciled as long as you wanted to reconcile.
As for Konohagakure, there was no way they could live in peace during the World War.
This was one of the reasons why Aoba did not want Hiruzen to die here. If Hiruzen died now, he would instead become the Hokage who died for the village. He would be loved by people, just like the Fourth Hokage in the original plot.
If he passed the Hokage position to Minato through this method, then Minato would have to bear the pressure of the Third Ninja World War. There was no merit get, but if he lost, he would have to bear a huge responsibility.
No.
It didn't matter if he lost or won. He would have to bear a huge responsibility. This was not what Aoba wanted to see.
As a friend of Minato.
He hoped that Minato could become Konohagakure's Fourth Hokage under the best arrangement.
Now that Kumogakure had retreated, it did not mean that they would not come. Although he had used Kirigakure ninjas to attack, it did not mean that Kirigakure ninjas would not attack again. These were all things that were uncertain. No one dared to make any guarantees. These things could give Konohagakure a reminder to let them know the seriousness of the matter.
Then, Aoba entered the room.
This room was very vast. He could see coffins placed side by side. From their current condition, he couldn't tell if there were corpses inside the coffins.
"Good fellow!"
Aoba couldn't help but sigh. Through the things in front of him, he discovered that Danzo was following his teacher.
He didn't even need to guess to know that the coffins here were probably souvenirs left behind by Danzo after he eradicated his dissidents.
If it had developed according to normal historical curves...
It was impossible for others to know about these things.
But...
Now, Aoba had come here by accident and entered this secret area that belonged to Danzo. Moreover, he also had the Mind Reading System. He could completely read the memories of these people and know what had happened to them when they were alive.
Then, Aoba walked toward the first coffin on the far left. This coffin was different from the other coffins. n(0)vel(b)(j)(n)hosted the premiere release of this chapter.
The coffins piled up here were all made of solid wood, and only the leftmost one was made of metal. Through the material of the coffin. It was enough to see the uniqueness of this coffin.
"I want to see who can be specially treated by Danzo."
Aoba walked directly to the side of the metal coffin. He raised his right hand and touched the coffin. He immediately used Chokeijugan no Jutsu(Ultralight-Weight Rock Technique) to remove the weight of the coffin lid.
Then, Aoba opened the lid of the metal coffin.
A woman could be seen.
She looked to be in her forties and was lying quietly in the coffin. Her body was obviously been embalmed because all the internal organs of her body had been removed.
"Is this made by Orochimaru?"
Aoba saw that this person's embalming was similar to the one in the corridor behind the secret door in the Hokage Building. However, this body looked a little bit green. It was obviously an early work of Orochimaru.
"Who are you?"
Aoba looked at the ninja's face, but he could not identify this person through her appearance. This was someone he had never seen in the Naruto Anime.
Aoba slowly raised his right hand and touched the woman's head.
He was very clear. If he wanted to know the identity of this woman and the things she had done in her life, or even why she had died here.
These things could be obtained through the Mind Reading System. Of course, it could only be done through the Mind Reading System. If it were any other person, it would be useless.
Right at this time, Aoba's right hand came into contact with the head of the woman in the coffin. Suddenly, a clear and crisp electronic prompt rang out in his mind.
"Ding Dong! Memory Reading Succesful! Obtained: Genjutsu: Kokuangyo no Jutsu(Illusion Technique: Bringer-of-Darkness Technique)!"
Suddenly, Aoba widened his eyes.
He knew about this ninjutsu.
It had once appeared in Konoha Crash.
Through this illusion, the user could create a dark environment and take away all the light of the other party. Only he and his teammates could see the other party clearly.
Of course, this was also the first genjutsu that Aoba had obtained.
"After obtaining so many ninjutsu, I have finally obtained a genjutsu. Now let me see who this person is!"
Aoba was very satisfied with the system reward he had obtained this time. After all, after he has read the memory more often, the ninjutsu the system rewards him has become more and more repetitive, and similar ninjutsu appears constantly.
This situation continued to appear.
The significance of the Mind Reading System to Aoba has gradually changed from a system that gives abilities to a system that gives intelligence. The overall strategic significance had changed.
At this time, Aoba was still mainly reading memories. He wanted to find out the memories of the person in the coffin through the Mind Reading System.
However, if he could obtain some special benefits during the process of reading memories, it would also be a good thing for him.
Suddenly, Aoba leaned slightly toward the corner of the wall.
He slowly closed his eyes, mainly to allow himself to be immersed in the picture of memory. He then touched the temple with both hands, ready to start checking the memory of this woman.
"Senju Momoka."
"A kunoichi(female ninja) from the Senju clan."
"The trusted aide of the First Hokage."
"She is extremely good at using genjutsu."
"Her reputation in the Senju clan is no less than Senju Tobirama!"
Aoba only saw some of this person's most basic information in the memories, and his heart was shocked. He already realized that he was about to discover a very shocking secret.
For a moment, Aoba wandered around in Senju Momoka's memories.
It was as if he had entered Senju Momoka's perspective, following this famous kunoichi to watch the last part of her life.
Time passed by.
Aoba slowly opened his eyes and removed his hands from his temples. His dark eyes flashed with shock.
"Sigh..."
Aoba let out a long sigh of relief. His gaze looked toward the other coffins, and he was already speechless.
"So that's how it is!"
"It's actually like this!"
"This really makes me feel like it's very funny!"
"How could it be like this!"
Aoba could not help but sigh in shock. The memories he had seen just now had greatly subverted his understanding.
At this moment, Aoba once again looked toward the coffins beside him.
The people there, even if he did not open the coffin. He knew who they were.
Because...
These coffins were covered by Senju Momoka herself!
Each person's face.
Each person's name.
He saw them all from her memories.
These people...
They were all from the Senju clan!
The true Senju clan!
Apart from the clansmen who had already married off, the entire Senju clan was piled up in this secret room.
"So..."
"This is the secret of the Senju clan disappearance!"
"It is not something that they had been integrated into the village!"
"It is not something that they no longer carry the surname Senju!"
"The real truth is..."
"The Senju clan took the clan emblem with them! "
The more Aoba thought about it, the more amazed he felt. The more he thought about it, the more terrified he felt. When he thought of Tsunade's memories, he suddenly felt that the whole thing had become clear.
For a moment, Aoba did not know how to describe his feelings. He also did not know where to start.
Aoba had once read Tsunade's memories. He had seen it in Tsunade's memories. From the moment Tsunade was born, she was called Tsunade. She did not have the surname Senju.
Of course, it was also the same with Nawaki.
In Tsunade's memory, she had seen many people from the Senju clan, including Senju Momoka lying in the coffin.
It was just that these memories were buried too deeply. Sometimes, even she could not remember them.
Aoba returned his attention to Senju Momoka. Through Senju Momoka's memories, he discovered something that Senju Momoka and Senju Tobirama had conspired together.
That was...
[Hashirama's Cell Transplantation!]
Aoba would never have thought that this project was actually proposed by Tobirama, and he told this project to his student Hiruzen and Danzo.
"If you want to suppress the Kyuubi in the village, there are only two ways. One is to possess Wood Release Blood Limit, and the other is to possess Mangekyo Sharingan."
In Momoka's line of sight, Senju Tobirama said this in front of her, Hiruzen and Danzo.
Tobirama did not trust Uchiha. He felt that if Konohagakure did not have a wood-release ninja for a long time, the Kyuubi would sooner or later be controlled by Uchiha.
At that time, Konohagakure would be in danger.
Therefore, Tobirama made a decision and proposed another very bold project at that time.
Extracting the cells of his big brother Senju Hasirama to conduct human experiments and try to cultivate a ninja who can use wood-release ninjutsu.
Because Senju Hashirama was a ninja from the Senju clan. Therefore, in the selection of human experimental subjects, the first choice was to choose the people of the Senju clan to carry out the experiment, and the experimental project was handed over to Senju Momoka.
In this decision, Tobirama had a certain responsibility and also certain selfishness.
The probability of failure in human experiments was far greater than the probability of success, or the probability of success was infinitely close to zero.
Under such circumstances. Let the volunteers of the Senju clan become experimental subjects.
Not only can the mission be carried out secretly and not be discovered by people in other villages, but it can also avoid unnecessary sacrifices from other clans in Konohagakure.
Because of Tobirama's selfishness, he made a decision that the experiment should be related by blood. He hoped that the next wood-release ninja would still appear in the hands of the Senju clan. This way, the Senju clan could continue to suppress the Uchiha clan, which had the Sharingan.
After this project was officially opened. Senju Momoka began to select volunteers from the Senju clan. However, she did not expect the feedback to be surprisingly good!
Many ninjas from the Senju clan regarded Senju Hashirama as their idol, hoping to become a ninja like Senju Hashirama.
When they heard that they would be injected with Hashirama cells, which would help them activate the unawakened wood-release bloodline limit in their bodies, everyone was eager to try. It was not a problem that they could not find people, but the people of the Senju clan were afraid that they would not be selected.
Wealth was sought in danger.
Take a gamble and change the bike into a motorcycle!
These people of the Senju clan were very clear that if they had the chance to have the wood-release bloodline limit, they would be able to have the elegance of the First Hokage Senju Hashirama, which was extremely tempting for them.

Chapter 311: Hashirama Cell Transplantation Project!
After Aoba saw the memory of Senju Momoka, he finally understood that the operation to transplant the cells of the First Hokage was not started after Hiruzen became the Hokage but began after the First Hokage died.
The person who really wanted to do this was the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama.
It was just that...
Senju Tobirama died too early!
Otherwise, he might really be able to research it!
After all, Tobirama was someone who had even researched Edo Tensei. Even if the First Hokage Senju Hashirama died, he could still bring his big brother to the battlefield. It was just that his ability would be weakened to a certain extent.
Aoba immersed his own perspective into Senju Momoka's memory. Not long after this kunoichi received the Hashirama Cell Transplantation Project, the First Ninja World War completely broke out.
She led the clansmen of the Senju clan to the battlefield and fought the enemy head-on. She established outstanding military achievements and was deeply loved by the Senju clan.
With the end of the First Ninja World War.
The Second Hokage Senju Tobirama died in the Country of Lightning's territory.
Konohagakure's Hokage was replaced by Hiruzen.
Senju Momoka did not know if the experiment should continue. At that time, Shimura Danzo, who took over the village's Anbu, found her and told her that he wanted to continue Hashirama's Cell Transplantation Project.
Because of this, Momoka and Danzo began the Hashirama Cell Transplantation Project. Together, they transplanted Hashirama's cell to the people of the Senju clans.
It's just a pity...
Even the people from the Senju clan were unable to withstand Hashirama's cell, and in the end, they all exploded and died.
But, even if the people of the Senju clan died one after another. They did not stop their plan. It was precisely because they had done their best and done so many things that they did not want to put this plan on hold.
Not only did Momoka and Danzo not want to, but even the people of the Senju clan also did not want those seniors to die in vain.
Gradually, the Senju clan lost their rationality during the Hashirama Cell Transplantation Project.
More and more people died. L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on N0vel-B1n.
More and more people participated in the project.
There were even some twisted hearts among them, which were that Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama were already dead, so they had nothing to rely on to live. They could either become a powerful ninja like Senju Hasirama and lead the village forward, or they might as well die!
Time passed.
In the next few years after Hiruzen took over as the Hokage. The people of the Senju clan became fewer and fewer, and they were all immersed in the Hashirama Cell Transplantation Project.
Although Senju Momoka did not achieve any success, in her eyes, she had accumulated a lot of experience.
Several years after Hiruzen took over. There were not many Senju clansmen left.
It was unknown whether it was because Senju Hashirama had a premonition of which why Tsunade and Nawaki did not have Senju surnames and did not carry the Senju clan badge. So, they were not affected by the people of the Senju clan and did not fall into madness.
Just when there were only thirty or forty people left in the Senju clan. Senju Momoka really panicked. She felt that if this continued, then the Senju clan would very likely disappear in the long river of history.
Finally, she decided to stop the project. She would no longer conduct experiments related to the Hashirama Cell Transplantation Project.
The experiences and files will be permanently sealed. In the future, they will not let other people in the village do experiments on this thing. After all, if even the people of the Senju clan can't withstand the First Hokage cells...
Then who can bear it?
Senju Momoka could no longer imagine anyone else who could successfully transplant Hashirama's cells.
Her entire body was filled with despair, as if she was the one who had destroyed the Senju clan. She had become the eternal sinner of the Senju clan.
"Sigh..."
Aoba took a deep breath and slowly spat it out. His eyes fell on Senju Momoka, who was lying in the coffin.
"If you knew..."
"A few years before you conducted the experiment."
"Madara has successfully transplanted Hashirama's cells."
"I wonder what your mood will be like..."
Aoba could not help but sigh. Perhaps in the entire Ninja World, the first person to successfully transplant Hashirama's cell was Madara.
However, who would have thought of this?
Aoba continued to flip through Senju Momoka's memories. He stood on Senju Momoka's perspective and looked at the history again.
Just as Senju Momoka was about to let it go, Danzo found her again and introduced a powerful helper to her. He hoped that the two of them could study it together and continue this project.
That person.
It was Orochimaru.
At that time, Orochimaru was still very young. He was in the early stages of scientific research. He has talent but lacked experience. Many things were new, and he could only increase his knowledge by accumulating experience.
Senju Momoka originally rejected it. However, after experiencing some twists and turns in the process. In the end, she agreed.
Moreover, before the Second Ninja World War began, she successfully destroyed the Senju clan.
The last experimental subject from the Senju clan to participate in the Hashirama Cell Transplantation Project was the Senju Momoka herself.
She had no interest in Hashirama's cell. However, she wanted to feel what the Senju clansmen experienced who died because of her.
What was the feeling before she died?
The person who had performed the experiment for her.
It was Orochimaru!
This operation failed unexpectedly. Senju Momoka felt that the Hashirama's cells in her body were filled with extremely strong vitality, but they had extremely strong rejection.
Hashirama's cells were different from normal cells. After entering her body, they began to proliferate and destroy the normal cells in her body quickly. In front of Hashirama's cells, her own cells were completely vulnerable.
Moreover, Senju Momoka discovered. These cells would quickly spread to the other organs of the body and grow rapidly, squeezing the cells in the original organs to other places, finally causing the function of the organs to decline.
After experiencing the cell transplant, Senju Momoka deeply felt the horror of Hashirama's cells. Moreover, in the confrontation with Hashirama's cells, she finally loses her life.
As for how she was hollowed out and put into the coffin, these were things that happened after Senju Momoka died. She herself did not know.
"Hashirama's cells..."
A complicated smile appeared on Aoba's face. Through Senju Momoka's memory, he saw a summary of the research in this area, as well as the relevant experience gained through experiments when she was researching it with Orochimaru.
But through these descriptions...
Aoba doesn't know why his first thought of it was cancer cells. The only difference was that cancer cells were mutated from their own cells, and Hashirama's cells were transplanted.
"Ordinary people really can't handle Hashirama's cells."
Aoba couldn't help but sigh. He had a lot of say in this regard. From the moment he had just come to the Ninja World, he had received Sage Body's big gift.
From that time on, he felt that his entire body was full of cancer cells.
However...
It can't be quite the metaphor.
It's just that the cells in his body will not age because of the division, and they will not be limited by the number of times of division, and they can also undergo an extremely exaggerated division.
Simply put...
When he was in his normal state, he was no different from a normal person. But if he were stabbed, then the cells in the cut part would quickly heal and regenerate, and his body will return to its normal state.
However, if there were any deficiencies in his body, such as if his arm was directly cut off, then the nearby cells would begin to divide rapidly, completing the regrowth part of his arm.
Only...
According to the degree of division and regeneration of the cells in the body, the level of energy consumption was also different.
If he wanted to complete it in seconds or in a near-immortal state, he needed a continuous supply of chakra.
This point, whether it was Senju Hashirama or the current Aoba. There was no problem.
At this time, Aoba was still staring at Senju Momoka, and a very strange and special idea came to his mind.
"If..."
"I simulate the operation."
"Put my cells into the enemy's body."
"Doesn't that mean it's even more powerful than the most powerful poison in this world?"
"..."
Aoba himself was shocked by his own strange brain circuit. He found that he was also a genius and thought of something that made him feel incredible.
After that, Aoba shook his head. He now knew what was going on here and turned to look at the other coffins. He couldn't come here for nothing so he had to read the memories of these people and also get some rewards, in case there were any good rewards.
After that, Aoba began to open the lids of these coffins one by one. From these coffins, he could see the ninjas from the Senju clan in various miserable conditions.
Most people had their internal organs hollowed out.
A very small number of people had their heads chopped off, so there was no way for people like them to read their memories.
Some of them could clearly be seen that they were not hollowed out but exploded from the inside of their bodies after experiencing great pressure.
These were the tragic results that would happen after transplanting Hashirama's cells.
Aoba had seen it in Senju Momoka's memories.
Different situations happened to different people, and they were all recorded accordingly.
"Why do I feel like I can do the Hashirama Cell Transplantation..."
Aoba could clearly see the experimental processes and final results of each experiment recorded in Senju Momoka's memory.
But even so, she also needed to communicate with the experimental subject about the specific feelings of the body.
But Aoba was different; he could directly read the memories of these dead Senju white mice that had been used as experimental subjects. Standing from the perspective of the experimental subject, he felt the changes in the body.
This was just like how he understood the feelings of the latter after checking Senju Momoka's memories.
Now, he could directly sense the changes in the body state of these Senju clansmen through reading their memories.
For a time, Aoba touched the heads of these Senju clansmen. Every time his right hand touched these people's heads, he would feel a chill in his heart.
The crisp electronic prompt rang out in his brain. Every time, he would obtain ninjutsu. However, these Senju clansmen were no different from other ninjas. They were all common ninjutsu, and there was no other special ninjutsu.
It seems...
It was still necessary to read someone with a special identity.
As for the Aburame ninjutsu. Aoba categorized them as this clan was really too special, and even the system has undergone a little change.
After Aoba touched the heads of these Senju clansmen, he understood that there were not all of the Senju.
The people in the early days of the experiment. The corpses had already been disposed of, and they were not here.
This was because after Danzo inherited this place, he followed the example of creating another secret passageway and built a secret room. Only then did he manage to leave some of the Senju clan's corpses behind.
As for the person that Danzo assassinated and dealt with...
There were no clues left behind!
Hum!
Just as Aoba finished reading the memories of these Senju clansmen, his head trembled slightly as a stream of information poured into his brain.
"It's time to go back!"
The shadow clone that Aoba had left behind on the Anbu side had already been removed and transmitted back to what had happened during the battle just now.
The moment the enemy attack occurred. Eaton found him and protected him. He did not suffer any injuries throughout the entire process.
It was only until the water was poured into the entire Konohagakure. The battle between Konohagakure and Kumogakure had come to an end, and everyone returned one after another.
Now, everyone was doing the drainage work.
There was water everywhere in Konohagakure.
The lower the terrain, the more accumulated the water, and Konohagakure Intelligence Division has become the hardest hit area.
Aoba's shadow clone used the name of returning to the dormitory to change his clothes. The shadow clone quickly returned to the dormitory and removed himself, preparing to call back Aoba's real body.
Suddenly, Aoba understood the whole process of the battle. He immediately used the fastest speed to cover all the coffins here again, and then his right hand slapped the ground.
Hum!
Aoba left a Flying Thunder God Formula on the ground, then controlled his chakra and directly used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) to instantly returned to the Anbu dormitory.
Crash crash crash...
After returning to the Anbu dormitory, the pieces of paper on Aoba's body move and release the transformation state revealing his original appearance.
The Anbu dormitory was now filled with water.
Aoba had already thought that the great exploding water colliding wave he spat out would spread to Konohagakure Intelligence Division. This was originally within his expectations, and he was not too surprised.
This was also a signal between him and the shadow clone.
The role of the shadow clone on the Hokage Rock was to observe. When he found that Hiruzen was in a difficult situation, the shadow clone would release himself and pass the information to Aoba, and Aoba's real body would immediately appear.
Aoba's real body turned into Gasshi, and then he shouted out that he had killed Hari and completed the mission. This was not only to paralyze Kumogakure's combat strength but also a message to the advanced paper clones, who had been spread in the village as Kirigakure ninjas.
After the four shadow clones transformed into Kirigakure ninjas and received the secret signal from Aoba, they immediately returned to the top of the Hokage Rock. They did not use Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique), not only to prevent others from discovering their identities but also to confirm the specific location of all Kumogakure ninjas along the way.
After pouring water into Konohagakure, the shadow clone who had stayed behind to assume Aoba's identity received the news and returned to the Anbu dormitory to replace Aoba.
After the entire process was completed.
Aoba could act as if he had never left the entire time.
Moreover, there was a pleasant surprise - after following Eaton, he had completely obtained an alibi, so no one would suspect him.
"Now it's time to help with the flood!"
Aoba quickly changed his clothes into Anbu ninja clothes and put on the cat-faced mask.

Chapter 312: Danzo's bad luck!
After Aoba changed his clothes, he quickly walked out of the Anbu dormitory and returned to Anbu's queue without any sense of incongruity.
At this time, Konohagakure Intelligence Division's ninjas were all holding various props. The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B1jn.
Some were holding basins.
Some people were holding pots.
There were also tools like spades, wood planks, and so on.
They were all standing still, waiting for Eaton's orders.
"Right now, Konohagakure is flooded. Our Konohagakure Intelligence Division is on a low terrain and is in the hardest-hit area. Now we need to drain the water here as much as possible so that Konohagakure Intelligence Division can return to its normal state!"
Eaton said loudly. After he finished speaking, he did not say anything else. There was the simplest and most direct reason here, and that was that he did not know how to drain the water in this place.
This place was a low-lying area. Even if they drain the water that flows inside Konohagakure Intelligence Division. The water outside would still flow in.
So this place was about to become a swimming pool!
"Yes!"
The ninjas in Konohagakure Intelligence Division collectively responded. They seemed to understand, but they did not completely understand. In any case, the core meaning was just to drain the water here, and it seems that they were free to do anything they wanted as long as the water was drained.
Aoba stood at the corner, his feet dripping with water. He looked at Eaton, who was arranging these things for everyone in a daze. He felt that it was a group of people who dared to speak out, dared to listen, and arranged a strategy with no real arrangements.
However, he didn't want to say anything more. This time, he was the one who gave Konohagakure water.
His purpose was to increase Konohagakure's sense of crisis. Now, a sense of crisis had arrived. Then, he wouldn't make a move.
"Now, hurry up and do it!"
Eaton nodded at the crowd, then added, "No matter what method you use, you have to clear out the water here. If any of you find a good method, pass this method to everyone and let everyone use this method together."
"Yes!"
All the Konohagakure Intelligence Division ninjas responded together again. Then everyone scattered and followed their own methods to drain the water in the Konohagakure Intelligence Division area. However, the methods were too primitive and did not have much use. The efficiency was extremely low.
When Aoba saw this, he felt a little helpless, but he did not say anything. He was ready to find some group and join them to drain the water.
"Aoba."
At this moment, Eaton called out to Aoba in a low voice. Aoba immediately stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Eaton.
"Captain Eaton, what's the matter?"
Aoba immediately answered. This was a public place, and there were many of Konohagakure Intelligence Division's ninjas outside. At this time, it was inappropriate to call Eaton Brother Eaton. It was better to call him Captain Eaton.
"Aoba, you have other tasks." Eaton nodded at Aoba. He knew why Aoba did not call him Brother Eaton. They had a tacit understanding of this point.
"Yes!"
Aoba immediately nodded and walked toward Eaton. In fact, he did not want to drain the water here. After all, he had sprayed out all the water. He felt that something was wrong if he did it himself.
"Aoba, this is the key to my office. Go to my office and transfer all the books to my office. Separate the already wet books from the dry ones, and sundry the wet books after the sun come out!" Eaton handed a key to Aoba. He stared at Aoba and said again, "This is a very, very important task!"
"Okay."
Aoba nodded. To him, this task was quite easy. Moreover, it wouldn't make him so reluctant. But he had never thought of this matter before.
Looks like...
Some of Eaton's books were about to be washed away by water!
"Aoba, I gave you this task not only because I believe in you but also because your health is not too good. I don't want you to do too tiring physical work. Can you understand my good intentions?" Eaton said seriously.
"Understood, understood, completely understood!" Aoba repeatedly nodded at Eaton. He knew that Eaton was reluctant to part with those treasures. He hoped that he could take them out quickly so that the treasure would not be damaged.
"Then you should go quickly!" Eaton handed the key to Aoba.
"Yes!"
Aoba responded and immediately took the key from Eaton. Then he walked quickly to Eaton's office.
"En."
Eaton looked at Aoba's back and nodded silently. In fact, it was not that he trusted Aoba, but he really had no one else to trust. There were not many people who knew that he liked reading.
He really wanted to share this kind of thing. However, there was no way to say it.
It was hard to tell his superiors and subordinates, and finding someone of the same generation was even harder.
Aoba's appearance just filled the gap and deficiency of his side.
Especially after Aoba became Tsunade's disciple, he now knew some of Aoba's secrets. This gave him the confidence to share his secret.
What surprised him even more was...
Aoba could actually write novels, and he could write so well!
Even at this time, when he thought the story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School was about to be published, he felt very excited and did not know how to describe his feelings.
...
Aoba took Eaton's key and walked toward the latter's office. In fact, he had already thought that the book on the bookshelf was about to be soaked.
When he arrived at the door of Eaton's office, the water in the corridor was still rising very fast. The feeling was like a sinking passenger ship. In the past, he had this feeling when he watched the Titanic.
The current situation was like this: If the door was not opened. There might be water seeping inside, but there might not be much; but if the door was opened directly now, it might let the water flow directly into Eaton's office, causing unnecessary damage to the books that had not been soaked.
"Forget it."
"I'll help you drain the water!"
"But..."
"I can't let you guys have a good time, can I!"
The corners of Aoba's mouth slightly curled up. He stretched out his hands and quickly made a series of seals. Suddenly, chakra surrounded his hands.
At this time, no one noticed his existence at all. Everyone was trying their best to drain the water in Konohagakure Intelligence Division.
Even Konohagakure Intelligence Division's captain, Morino Eaton, was fighting on the front line and had no time to deal with his own books. Only then did he find Aoba and let him deal with these things.
"Place!"
Aoba silently spat out a word. After that, two invisible barriers formed on both sides of the corridor, cutting off the flowing water.
At this time, the water flowing outside Eaton's office was directly intercepted. It was as if it had suddenly been put into a water tank. First, it maintained the momentum of charging forward and hitting the barrier. Then, it rushed back.
After a few twists and turns, the surface of the water calmed down.
Aoba raised his hands, and a paper tag appeared in his hands. There was a black circle pattern on it. It was a paper tag with the Flying Thunder God Formula.
Then, Aoba directly slapped the paper tags on the ground.
"Hiraishin: Dorai(Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder)!"
Aoba said in a low voice. As he spoke, a massive chakra surged out from both of his hands and directly converged on the paper tag with the Flying Thunder God Formula.
Hum!
The paper tag in Aoba's hand suddenly trembled.
After that, the water that was already in a state of stillness moved.
At this time, a strange phenomenon appeared outside Eaton's office, which was that the current on both sides was flowing toward the middle. It was like someone opened a drain.
After that, Aoba held the key and opened the door of Eaton's office. In an instant, a stream of water flowed backward and directly flowed out of Eaton's office.
This was the water that sipped into the office through the corridor, but there was not much water. After it flowed out, it caused the water's surface to drop.
As the water flowed out of Eaton's office, Aoba walked in and directly entered Eaton's office. After entering. Then, he closed the door.
Bang!
The heavy sound of the door closing suddenly rang out.
Aoba stood behind the door, his hands forming seals again. The order of the seals was exactly the same as before.
"Place!"
Aoba silently spat out this word. As he finished speaking, a barrier appeared on the office door behind him. It was the same barrier that had cut off the flow of water in the corridor.
After this barrier appeared, it blocked Eaton's office from the inside.
"Release!"
Aoba's mind moved again. The two barriers outside the door suddenly disappeared, and the water flowed again. The water instantly burst out, stirring up angry waves. It was as if they were venting the dissatisfaction in their hearts for being cut off just now.
Only...
The water outside did not flow into Eaton's office again. The reason why Aoba did this was very simple. He found that Eaton was really good to him.
Although Eaton had very obvious selfishness, these were not important. As long as he does it, he was eligible to win the part that belongs to him.
Aoba felt that this was just to help Eaton protect these books!
He had already seen it from Eaton's memory. The latter had an almost infatuated love for these books. It was a love from the bottom of his heart. In this case, he will help him.
When Aoba thought of this, he looked at the bookshelf. The situation here was better than he had expected.
It had not been immersed to half a degree. It had only reached a quarter. It seemed that the door on Anbu's side was still good at water drainage. It had been holding on for a long time.
After all, we can't expect this kind of door to be completely sealed so that even a little bit of water can't enter.
That would be unrealistic...
"Let's start collecting these books for Brother Eaton now!"
Aoba walked over to a place near the bookshelf, and his eyes focused on Eaton's desk.
This desk was quite high. The flowing water had not reached this height yet. The things on the table did not receive any threat at all.
Including the one that was placed on the table and ready to be read at any time. It was Eaton's book of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School.
"Just put these wet books on the table!"
With a thought, Aoba began to take out the books under the bookshelf and put them on Eaton's desk. As for the books on the top of the bookshelf, he did not even move it. The books on the top were even taller than the desk, so it would be dangerous to take them off.
...
Just when Aoba used Hiraishin: Dorai(Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder) earlier, he did not drain all the water directly. After all, he was the one who caused this flood.
He couldn't drain the water himself. If he did drain it himself. That would be so embarrassing!
Because of this, when Aoba uses Hiraishin: Dorai(Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder), he does not throw it into the remote forest but chooses the secret door on the first floor of the Hokage Building.
At that time.
On the first floor of the Hokage Building.
Hiruzen and Sakumo carried Danzo, who was almost in a coma.
"Medical Ninja!"
Hiruzen suddenly shouted. In the battle just now, Danzo's chest was heavily stabbed by Third Raikage, and his body was seriously injured.
"They are already on their way here!"
When the ninjas in the Hokage Building heard Hiruzen's roar, they immediately responded.
"Let me take a look first."
Konohagakure's Advisor Koharu quickly walked toward Danzo. She squatted beside Danzo, who was lying flat on the ground and quickly checked his injuries.
"Danzo's injuries are very serious!"
A trace of worry flashed in Koharu's eyes. She casually pressed her hands toward Danzo's chest, and gentle chakra appeared on her palms. She immediately used Shosen Jutsu(Mystical Palm Technique) to heal Danzo's injuries.
As Shosen Jutsu(Mystical Palm Technique)'s gentle chakra poured into the location of Danzo's injuries, it immediately began to stop the bleeding from Danzo's exposed wound.
Koharu had not used any ninjutsu for a long time. So, she was already not familiar with this feeling.
At this time, Danzo slowly opened his eyes. His vision was very blurry, and he couldn't see what the ninja who was treating him looked like.
Right now, he just felt that. His chest felt warm, and the pain had subsided a lot. It was an indescribable feeling of caring.
It made him feel a gentleness that he had not felt for a long time.
"Teacher Bai?"
Danzo stared at Koharu in a daze. His lips moved slightly, and he said something that made people feel strange. However, he did not care at all and completely enjoyed this feeling.
He didn't know how long it had been since he had felt this kind of gentle touch.
He had been brave for most of his life.
Now he found that he was actually just a fragile boy who needed some love from his Teacher Bai.
In front of him, Koharu's blurred figure allowed him to perfectly match up with the image of Teacher Bai in Danzo's mind unconsciously.
Only...
His thoughts, no one could have guessed it. Everyone's attention was focused on Danzo's treatment!
Rumble!
However, at this time, something unexpected happened. On the first floor of the building.
The medical ninja had not arrived yet. A stream of water arrived first.
They surged out from behind them and rushed directly toward Danzo.
"Not good!"
Koharu's face changed. She had just stabilized Danzo's situation. Not only did she stop Danzo's wound from bleeding, but she also felt that Danzo's mood had become calm.
But at this time.
Why did the water flow in?
A big question mark appeared in everyone's head.
However, the culprit of all this water current didn't expect that it would sweep Danzo away. If Aoba knew about this matter, he would definitely sigh.

Chapter 313: Gasshi Is Orochimaru?
On the first floor of the Hokage Building.
People still didn't know what was going on.
The surging water rushed over from behind and directly hit Danzo, who was under treatment.
"Hiss..."
The cold water instantly made Danzo suck in a breath of cold air. Under the impact of the cold water, the wound caused his internal organs to twitch. The intense discomfort that emerged from his body instantly pulled him from his half-awake and hazy state.
In a split second, Danzo woke up. The scene in front of him instantly became incomparably clear. Teacher Bai was gone. What replaced was Koharu's worried face.
"..."
Danzo's pupils fiercely contracted. It wasn't that there was anything wrong with Koharu. A certain position that had been restless just now suddenly collapsed and couldn't stand up again in a short time.
The water was no longer important.
The injuries were no longer important.
Danzo wanted to return to his half-awake and hazy state as if seeing Teacher Bai.
But he could not return!
Everything could not be returned!
Danzo knew that state just now would not happen a second time. It was completely washed away by that stream of water!
All of a sudden, Danzo felt a sense of loss in his heart, and there was even an indescribable feeling of discomfort in his heart.
...
In Konohagakure Intelligence Division, Eaton Office.
After Aoba placed the soaked books on the table, he sat down on the chair and stared straight ahead, deep in thought.
There was no sun, and it was not dawn yet. Moreover, he felt that there was no need to use other methods to dry these books. That would be too fake.
This was good for now.
As for the next thing...
Aoba propped up his chin with both hands and began to flip through the Senju clansmen's memories. In any case, he was idle now, so he didn't want to go out after this matter was done. He was in a slacking state.
According to his experience.
Things should never be rushed. The faster you do it; the more things await you.
So, Aoba immersed himself in the memories of the Senju clansmen. Through these memories, he had a deeper understanding of the Senju clan.
Moreover, he wanted to understand more about the feelings after being transplanted with Hashirama's cells.
...
At this moment.
On the Hokage Rock.
Fugaku walked on the Hokage Rock with a gloomy face. His eyes had already turned red, and he lowered his head to observe the traces on the ground.
"Recently, many people have been moving above the Hokage Rock."
Fugaku squatted on the ground and pinched the soil of the Hokage Rock. He also saw some footprints and traces of Hari lying here.
When he was fighting just now, he was entangled and couldn't pull away at all. However, he could clearly hear that the voice that resounded through Konohagakure was from Gasshi.
He never thought of it.
The Gasshi who killed Sekai actually dared to come back, which was simply outrageous!
At that time, he was not able to catch up with Gasshi. Now, he was investigating Gasshi's tracks on the Hokage Rock.
As these details were presented in front of his eyes, he could already be sure that the traces on the Hokage Rock were caused by Gasshi.
Now he had a very good reason to suspect that Gasshi was still in Konohagakure. After all, Gasshi had just killed Hari, so how could he leave with Kumogakure ninjas?
"Damn it!"
"Where exactly is he hiding?"
"It really makes me feel uncomfortable!"
Fugaku clenched his fists. Just as he was about to leave, his Sharingan instantly focused on the traces not far away.
It was where Hari was lying. He had already checked it just now.
It was just...
He had discovered something that he had not noticed earlier.
Instantly, Fugaku moved closer, looking like he was going to lie on the ground.
"This..."
Fugaku could vaguely see some distorted words. It was slightly wet, and some of the soil was sticking together.
"This should be written with a tongue..."
According to the traces in this place, Fugaku immediately guessed that Hari might have been lying on the ground at that time, and his body might have been tied up.
Of course, he had no idea that Hari was already in a paralyzed state and couldn't move at all.
The words were twisted and crooked; it was not very clear.
This kind of phenomenon made Fugaku a little confused. He frowned and carefully looked at the handwriting on the ground through the Sharingan and reflected it in his brain.
Then, with his strong brain. He began to put it together, remove the thing that covered it, then make up the coherent stroke.
All of a sudden, a series of distorted words appeared in his mind again.
"Ga, shi, is..."
Fugaku frowned. Even the restored text is still not the same as the normal text. It was obvious that he could not use too much strength when writing, and it was not very convenient. In the end, it could only become like this.
"Oro, chi, maru!"
Fugaku's eyes widened as he spoke. The black pupils in his blood-red eyes shrank as if he had found out a huge secret.
Orochimaru!
Konoha Sannin! L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on N0vel-B1n.
This name should not appear here!
Instantly, Fugaku looked at the words again and removed the place that had been rubbed off. He tried to fill in the strokes again.
After filling it up again, he looked at the words.
It was still the same words, Orochimaru.
For a moment, Fugaku realized that this matter seemed to be different from what he had imagined.
Fugaku merely frowned. He half-squatted on the ground, his eyes staring at the words left behind by Hari. His right hand pinched his chin, and his pair of bright red eyes revealed a pondering gaze.
"What exactly is going on?"
"Why did Hari say that Gasshi is Orochimaru? Could it be that he discovered some secret?"
"Or is it just Hari's guess?"
"Of course, it is also possible that Hari is misleading us!"
"But..."
"Is Gasshi really related to Orochimaru?"
Fugaku's face turned extremely gloomy. His mind was already beginning to become chaotic.
He was very clear that these words left behind by Hari. It can't be used as evidence and could only be used as a reference because there was no credibility at all.
However, in his mind, he could not help but think about this matter.
This was the information left behind by Hari before he died. Either he discovered something before he died and wanted to leave this secret behind for the people who came here to see, or he wanted to frame Orochimaru...
There were only two possibilities!
Fugaku was very clear that not many people could see this thing. If he had not carefully checked and used his Sharingan, then it was possible that no one would have seen these words.
So deep in his heart. He was more inclined to believe that Hari had left this message to guide them to get close to the truth of the matter.
This could also be considered Hari's revenge.
Fugaku had been paying attention to Gasshi because Gasshi was the murderer who had killed Sekai.
However, he did not receive any news about Gasshi from the outside world.
This person seemed to have vanished into thin air. He gave off a feeling that he did not exist at all.
Fugaku once suspected that Gasshi was still in Konohagakure, but this speculation did not have any support at all, so he did not know how to continue investigating.
"If Gasshi had not left Konohagakure and not been found by Konoha Military Police Force, then it meant that someone with a higher status had protected Gasshi, or maybe Gasshi had another identity..."
"Could it be..."
"Is Gasshi really Orochimaru?"
"Is Hari trying to express that Orochimaru is pretending to be Gasshi?"
"Or is there a deeper meaning?"
The more Fugaku thought about it, the more confused he became.
Orochimaru's figure appeared in his mind. The one who would reveal an evil smile and lick his tongue whenever he saw him.
In fact, Fugaku had already felt that Orochimaru was coveting his Sharingan a long time ago.
However, he had no evidence at all.
It was just a feeling. After all, he could feel the greed in Orochimaru's eyes every time they met.
"Is it really Orochimaru?"
The more Fugaku thought about it, the more he felt that Orochimaru was suspicious. After he got some clues, he first felt that it was unrealistic. But when he thought about it subjectively, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the problem was very big.
"I remember that Orochimaru didn't appear on the battlefield."
Fugaku's thoughts started to move. He gradually realized that he didn't see Orochimaru in the battle just now. He didn't know where Orochimaru was.
In addition to the words left behind by Hari. Then it seemed to be able to match.
"If Orochimaru disguised as Gasshi, then everything makes sense. I remember that Orochimaru had a very powerful camouflage technique. He pretends to be Gasshi and then kills Hari!"
Fugaku had already begun to make inferences. Although there was no evidence to support it, he felt that what he said was quite reasonable and completely reasonable.
"Then..."
"If Gasshi is Orochimaru in disguise."
"It makes sense why Gasshi did not attack ordinary people in Konohagakure."
"He only attacked Sekai!"
"The most important thing is..."
"Sekai's eyes were taken away!"
Fugaku's eyes flashed with anger. Now, people had forgotten that Gasshi had taken Sekai's eyes. Only he still remembered because he was an Uchiha, and they valued the Sharingan very much.
Except for him, others only know that Gasshi killed Uchiha Sekai. In addition, they had entered the Third Ninja World War; it was normal for ninjas to fight and die.
Gradually.
The anger that people felt toward Gasshi had already begun to fade.
Fugaku could clearly feel this. Sometimes, he would feel anger, but most of it was deep helplessness. People were forgetful. As long as it doesn't happen to them, it will pass after a period of time.
No one would always remember who the enemy who had killed Sekai was!
No one would think that Gasshi had killed Sekai when they saw him. The Ninja World was fighting and killing every day. People were killing people every day.
But…
If Gasshi was Orochimaru in disguise, his goal from beginning to end was to steal Sekai's eyes.
Or…
If Sekai hadn't rushed so fast!
He might be the one who died there, and his eyes were stolen!
The more Fugaku thought about it, the more he felt that this matter had something to do with Orochimaru. Especially after Sekai died, his eyes were casually taken away, and he had not even looked at the things on his body.
This made things feel very obvious all of a sudden. The other party was coming for the Sharingan. Regardless of whether it was Gasshi or Orochimaru, they had already regarded Sekai's Sharingan as their most precious asset.
There was no doubt about this!
Fugaku stood on the Hokage Rock, his mind filled with many things. Finally, he began to point all the clues to Orochimaru, and his face was getting darker and darker.
Gradually, he felt that the situation here was getting more and more complicated.
After that, Fugaku repeatedly searched the area above Hokage Rock. In the end, he confirmed that he would not find any other clues.
Then, he left this place.
Apart from Fugaku, no one else had discovered anything, and no one knew what had happened.
This was something that Aoba had never imagined and was completely out of his expectations. At that time, his advanced paper clone was right beside Hari, but his attention was all on the Third Raikage below. He had not expected that the paralyzed Hari would use his tongue to write.
Who would have thought?
Aoba had never expected that Hari's tongue would be so skilled. He also did not expect that Hari would connect Gasshi and Orochimaru together. He thought that they were the same person.
When Aoba transformed into Orochimaru, it was entirely because this identity was more convenient to walk inside the Root Base, and he did not think about framing Orochimaru at all.
Now, it was a coincidence that made this happen.

Chapter 314: Is Your Medical Ninjutsu Attainment Comparable to Tsunade-Sama?
After an unknown period of time, Aoba felt that there was no longer any sound outside Eaton's office. With a thought, he removed the barrier at the door.
When the barrier disappeared. Streams of water began to seep in through the cracks of the door. However, there was not much water. It was just a simple leak. No threat to the office at all.
"Those people are doing well."
Aoba nodded at the water flow in the direction of the door. The speed at which the ninjas drained the water was faster than he had imagined. It could be said that it was completely beyond his expectations.
The sky should already be bright. After a night of emergency treatment, the problem should no longer be too big with the appearance of the sun.
After all, Konohagakure was mainly dominated by trees.
This kind of place that was full of trees, generally speaking, would not be flooded with too much water. The soil on the ground could completely absorb the water, and a night's time was enough to make the water disappear.
Step step step step...
At this time, footsteps sounded outside Eaton's office. It was the sound of feet stepping on water.
There was no need to think about it to know that it was Eaton.
Knock knock...
After that, someone knocked on the door.
"Aoba, open the door. It's Brother Eaton."
Eaton's voice came from outside the door and clearly reached Aoba's ears.
"Okay."
Aoba immediately got up and walked toward the door. After entering earlier, he locked the door, preventing Eaton from suddenly hitting the barrier if he had the spare key.
After Aoba opened the door to Eaton's office, a small stream of water rushed in. However, it was not big. It was just because the elevation of the office was too low.
"There is so little water here?!"
When Eaton saw that there was not much water in his office, his eyes lit up. His eyes immediately looked in the direction of the bookshelf.
"This..."
The flames of passion that had just ignited in Eaton's heart instantly subsided at this moment. Looking at the books on the table that had obviously been soaked in water, his heart instantly turned cold.
"My treasure..."
After Eaton, a valiant man encountered such a situation, his eyes were filled with tears, and he almost cried out.
Judging from the books on the table. There were about twenty to thirty books.
This was simply a number that made him despair.
One had to know that these books were all his treasures. Losing any one of them would make him feel incomparably distressed. Now, his little heart was already somewhat unable to bear it.
"Brother Eaton..."
When Aoba saw Eaton's appearance, he suddenly felt a little apologetic. After all, he was the one who spat out the water and directly wet Eaton's book. This made him feel a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry!"
Aoba thought about it and still apologized to Eaton. Regardless of whether Eaton could understand what he meant, he still planned to say these words to Eaton.
"Aoba, this can't be blamed on you. This is all because of the water. If you didn't help me get them out of the water, I don't know what they would have become. Moreover, if you didn't help in time, those books that haven't been soaked may also get wet. In the end, I still have to thank you." Eaton said to Aoba. His eyes stared at Aoba, and his eyes were full of sincerity. It could be seen that his words were not to reassure Aoba, but that was what he himself thought.
"Brother Eaton..."
When Aoba saw Eaton say this, he felt a little sorry. He had read Eaton's memories and knew how much the latter cherished these books. It was completely on another level. He was almost obsessed with them.
Many of these books were no longer available on the market. They belonged to the Out-of-Print books.
Because of this, after the books were soaked. Eaton felt even more uncomfortable in his heart. He felt that the loss had become even greater.
"Sigh..."
Aoba took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. He tried to calm himself down. In fact, when Eaton had said a few words to him, he feel a little better. However, he could not tell Eaton that these books had become like this because of him.
"How about this!"
Aoba raised his head and looked at Eaton, his eyes flashing with a bright light. He had already thought of a way to deal with it.
"Brother Eaton, I will write a few more books and let you collect them again. It will be compensation for the books you lost. Do you think this is okay?" Aoba asked Eaton. Strictly speaking, he was not asking for the forgiveness of the latter but making his heart feel a little better.
After all, Eaton had been very good to him during this period of time.
He and Eaton would not be the kind of sincere friends, and their relationship would not improve to such an exaggerated extent.
However.
For Aoba, such a big brother boss who can take care of himself on weekdays. It allowed him to get many benefits and help in Konohagakure Intelligence Division.
The most important thing was...
If these books were drenched by water sprayed by someone else, or if he drenched someone else's books, then he wouldn't care so much.
Since he was the one who did this.
Then...
He'll do it just do it like this!
"Really?"
Eaton's eyes suddenly widened and were filled with extreme joy. The sadness he felt just now was instantly swept away.
Those books were nothing more than a collection.
It wasn't that these books were good, but that he only had these things.
It was like some people put some relatively inferior resources in their favorites resource and when they don't have any new resources, they could use them occasionally. For them, it would still be a pity if they deleted them by mistake.
However, if they could instantly obtain the best quality resources they were most satisfied with, those inferior resources would immediately become tasteless.
Eaton was like this right now.
He had read all the books that had been soaked by water, and there was no substantial content. The reason why he still kept these things was that he was reluctant to part with them.
He just wanted to keep it as a collection.
Since he had read the story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School, the past books he had collected were no longer fragrant.
Now he would rather read Teacher Bai's story a few more times every day than read the past books. The description of the environment and mood of those books was far worse than that of Aoba. It could be said that it was not easy to use.
When Aoba saw that the expression on Eaton's face had returned to normal and was even a little happy, the big stone hanging in his heart also fell down.
It was nothing more than writing a few more books. He had a lot of reserves in his mind, enough to complete the mass production. Moreover, he did not say when he was going to start writing.
This kind of thing.
There was no pressure at all.
"Aoba, you have to be careful during this period of time. Don't leave Konohagakure Intelligence Division easily. Yesterday, Kumogakure invaded. Tomorrow, there might be other villages invading. The current situation in the ninja world is not optimistic. Inside Konohagakure Intelligence Division is still safe." Eaton said to Aoba earnestly. Yesterday, he was frightened. He did not dare to let anything happen to Aoba. Otherwise, when Tsunade came back, he would not be able to explain it.
"I understand. Don't worry. I will write in the dormitory when I have nothing to do." Aoba smiled and said to Eaton.
"Right, right, right, isn't that right!" When Eaton heard Aoba's words, he immediately smiled in satisfaction. He was not afraid that Aoba would update too quickly, but he was afraid that Aoba would not update.
"Brother Eaton, yesterday's situation was too chaotic. Are there any casualties?" Aoba immediately asked. It was not that he had nothing to say, but he was really concerned about this matter. Whether it was his main body or his shadow clone, they did not notice the casualties. After all, Kumogakure made a sneak attack!
"Sigh..."
When Eaton heard this, he couldn't help but sigh. The smile on his face disappeared and was covered with a layer of haze.
"There are quite a few casualties this time. Kumogakure's ninjas came too suddenly, and there was no news at all. There was no warning, not to mention that they all came after midnight. Most of them were sleeping and dreaming. It was difficult to control the casualties at this time." Eaton had a sad expression on his face. He really felt uncomfortable with the situation in Konohagakure.
"Do you have a rough figure?" Aoba asked in a low voice. The matter of Kumogakure's ninja invasion made him feel very angry. He had done so many things and pointed so many spears at Kumogakure. However, he never expected that all of this would be directed at them in the end.
"No."
Eaton shook his head. He stared at Aoba and explained, "The war hasn't ended yet, and there is also a flood in the village. Many injured people haven't been rescued. Moreover, because of this flood, it is very difficult to calculate the number of casualties."
"I see."
Aoba slowly nodded. He silently noted down this debt in his heart. If there were a chance in the future, he would return it to Kumogakure a hundred times over.
"However, the one who was the most injured this time was DanzoManyw, many elite medical ninjas in the village have gone to see him. Even though Danzo-sama's injury was severe, his life is saved. However, it will take some time to recover from walking."
Eaton pursed his lips. His expression turned even uglier. His thoughts were very simple. No matter how much resentment he had towards Danzo, he was still one of Konohagakure's people. He had to stand with Konohagakure's people at this time.
"Danzo-sama was so seriously injured?"
Aoba was stunned. He saw the Third Raikage stab Danzo in the chest from the information sent back by the shadow clone.
At that time, Raikage had used four fingers hell stab. The destructive and penetrating power was very strong. It was not any weaker than Chidori.
After Danzo was stabbed by this move, he would definitely be severely injured. However, Aoba did not expect that it would be as severe as Eaton described.
Hearing Eaton's description. It made Aoba feel that Danzo might be crippled.
"I am not very clear about the specific situation. It does not seem very optimistic based on the information sent back from the medical team. Moreover, I heard rumors that after our Advisor, Koharu-sama, saw Danzo-sama's condition, she judged that after Third Raikage's hand broke Danzo-sama's sternum, the aftershock caused Danzo-sama's spine to dislocate. The person who can treat this kind of injury...
Eaton paused slightly and stared at Aoba meaningfully. The corners of his mouth moved slightly as if he was hesitating to say it.
However, Eaton still said it.
"There is only one person in Konohagakure, your teacher Tsunade-sama!"
When Eaton said this. Aoba secretly nodded in his heart.
Fortunately. L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on N0vel-B1n.
Fortunately, he did not reveal his identity as Tsunade's student. Otherwise, trouble would come to him.
"Brother Eaton, don't tell anyone about my identity!" Aoba immediately warned. Even if Aoba did not say anything, it was possible that Eaton might tell everyone that he was Tsunade's student in order to treat Danzo.
"Don't worry; I won't tell anyone." Eaton nodded. After he said this, he looked at Aoba and asked, "Speaking of which, Aoba, do you know where Tsunade-sama is?"
"I don't know." Aoba shook his head and said without thinking. He really didn't know. He didn't ask about Tsunade's whereabouts at all.
"Then..."
Eaton paused for a moment. He took a deep breath and stared at Aoba with a questioning look in his eyes. He then asked, "How much of your medical ninjutsu is comparable to your Tsunade-sama's?"
"I don't know medical ninjutsu..." Aoba said without any hesitation again.
Only...
Right after he said this. He immediately felt Eaton's meaningful gaze.
"Is that so?"
Eaton stared at Aoba with a smile that was not a smile. His eyes seemed to see through Aoba.
"That... Brother Eaton, do you really want to save Danzo-sama?" Aoba vaguely felt something. After all, his medical experience was accumulated in Konohagakure Intelligence Division. Every time he attacked those prisoners and healed them. If such a thing happens occasionally, it could still be concealed. But it often occurs and has not been brought up yet. It should be Eaton who wiped his ass for him.
"Yes, Danzo-sama has been kind to me. If possible, I hope to save his life and let him stand up again. After all, the present Konohagakure can not live without him!" Eaton stared at Aoba with burning eyes. Even if Aoba did not ask these things, he would still come to ask Aoba.
"Eh... this... maybe Tsunade-sensei will come back after he finds out that Konohagakure was attacked!"
Aoba directly said some extremely self-deceiving words. No one knew better than him that it was impossible for Tsunade to return to Konohagakure at this time.
For Tsunade.
Konohagakure could be described as a sad place. Moreover, Tsunade's hemophobia had not been cured yet, so it was impossible for her to do surgery.
Most importantly...
Danzo was still the one who killed Kato Dan and Nawaki. Even if someone fooled Tsunade and asked her to treat Danzo, Aoba would not allow this to happen.
