Chapter 381: Have You Had Enough Trouble!

Ads by Pubfuture

When Shikaku heard this youth's question, he narrowed his eyes slightly. His eyes contained a sharp glint.

This question.

It was very excessive.

Right now, the Chunin Exams was not over yet!

This young man had stepped over his boundary!

A Genin actually asked about the Hokage's matter, this was overstepping, and there was nothing to say!

"This has nothing to do with you."

Shikaku coldly said. This kind of thing was very outrageous in itself. Whether he was the chief examiner or Hokage's office advisor, when he heard this question, he felt that it was extremely absurd.

"It's better to take care of your own affairs!"

Shikaku stared at the youth and said. In his opinion, this youth was a bit nosy, and the Hokage's matter was not something that anyone should worry about.

As soon as Shikaku said this.

Everyone present nodded in agreement.

Everyone felt that Shikaku's words were very reasonable. Right now, this youth looked like a clown, he doesn't make sense at all

"Hahahahaha..."

However, Aoba laughed loudly at this time, directly attracting everyone's attention, including Shikaku.

"Big Brother Shikaku."

"I think it's better for you to tell him!"

"Otherwise my image in these people's hearts will be that of a braggart!"

"This is the loss you have caused me!"

"You have to help me explain it clearly!"

Aoba's voice faintly sounded. The corners of his mouth slightly curled up, revealing a meaningful smile. He could accept solitary silence, and he could also have no desires, but this youth had already been in contact with him for a long time. If not for Shikaku being here at this time, he would ruthlessly slap this self-righteous youth in the face. He was afraid that in the future, they would think that he was a person who was easy to bully.

"Eh?"

Shikaku was stunned for a moment. After that, he looked at the people in the surrounding and finally landed on the youth.

Almost in an instant.

He immediately understood what was going on.

"So that's how it is!"

Shikaku was an extremely smart person, to begin with. He was only misled by his emotions at this time. Now, he no longer had any prejudice against Aoba in his heart. Moreover, after apologizing to Aoba, he deeply realized his problem.

At this moment.

Shikaku was very clear.

These people probably thought that Aoba had cheated, so they spoke ill of him.

But now, Shikaku already believed that Aoba did not cheat.

Then he naturally could not allow the misunderstanding caused by him to continue.

"I understand..."

Shikaku immediately looked at the youth. His eyes fell on the youth's eyes.

"I asked Aoba for help just now."

When Shikaku said this.

Everyone at the scene immediately gasped.

Even though everyone already had a feeling in their hearts and knew that Aoba might not be lying again, when they heard this, they were still shocked.

"That is to say... the chief examiner wants Aoba to help instead of Hokage-sama asking for Aoba's help. Is my understanding right?"

The youth immediately grasped the main point of Shikaku's words and spoke out once more. His goal was very simple. The previous parts that he had misunderstood Aoba had passed just like that. However, he had not misunderstood Aoba in some part. He had to take it out and explain it clearly. He absolutely could not let Aoba off easy.

All of a sudden.

The expressions of everyone present turned extremely strange.

Everyone was already disgusted with this youth. After all, there was no need to pursue this matter so deeply anymore.

However, this person was already determined to not let go.

Any slight problem in Aoba's speech must be taken out and magnified continuously, and finally, cause some trouble.

"You..."

Shikaku shook his head helplessly. After he shook his head, for some reason, he suddenly laughed.

"I asked Aoba for help..."

"It's to help Hokage-sama!"

"I know you might ask: Then why does Hokage-sama need Aoba's help?"

Shikaku has already learned to answer quickly. Before the youth could speak, he took the initiative to say what the youth wanted to ask. His IQ could crush this youth. To be able to make such a prediction was not difficult for him.

"I might as well tell you all about it!"

"This way, there is no need for you to disturb Aoba anymore!"

"You all know very well what happened in the Forest of Death. The three Iwagakure ninjas have died here. Hokage-sama wants to see the final scene that the three of them witnessed before their deaths. He needs the Sensor Ninjas from the Yamanaka clan to perform the Saiko Denshin(Mind-Reading Secret Technique) on them!"

"But..."

"There are still a few hours before any Yamanaka ninjas arrive here!"

"The longer the corpse's death passes, the fewer memories you can read. So after my suggestion, Hokage-sama decided to ask Aoba for help." The original appearance of this chapter can be found at N0v3l--Biin.

"Do you understand now?"

Shikaku had already spoken very clearly. In fact, he should not have said these words. However, in order to make up for the loss that he had caused to Aoba, he still spoke these words. He hoped that it could alleviate Aoba's troubles.

After hearing Shikaku's words, everyone present nodded. They all understood what was going on.

It seems like...

Aoba really didn't say any lie.

First, he didn't cheat.

Second, the Hokage asked him for help.

These two points seemed ridiculous and out of place; when they knew it, they were amazed. But after understanding the detail, they felt that everything was reasonable.

After hearing Shikaku's words, the youth did not say a word. He was completely silent. Now that this reason was gone, he had nothing to say.

No matter what he said.

It was meaningless!

Wrong!

It was still a mistake!

It was just that...

This youth knew that he had made a mistake, but he did not want to apologize. He did not want to lower his proud head.

...

After Shikaku finished speaking, he no longer paid any attention to the youth. Instead, he turned his gaze back to Aoba.

"Aoba, now that the misunderstanding has been cleared, are you really going to choose to forfeit?" Shikaku could not help but ask again. In his heart, he felt that Aoba's forfeiting was related to him. If he did not ask again, his heart would be uneasy.

"Yes."

Aoba nodded lightly. After that, he waved his hand at Shikaku and said, "Big Brother Shikaku, don't try to persuade me anymore. I have already decided that I will not continue the exam."

"Alright."

Shikaku nodded helplessly. Since he had already said this much and had already given Aoba a lot of steps. Even now, Aoba was still insisting. It could be said that Aoba really thought this way, so there was no need for him to say anything else.

"I'm leaving."

After Shikaku got the answer he wanted to know, there was no need to stay here anymore. He directly turned around and returned to the corridor he had just passed.

Next.

He was going to find the two proctors to confirm.

One was the proctor who stood in front of Aoba in the first round, the one who Aoba used Shintenshin no Jutsu(Mind Body Switch Technique).

The other was the proctor who took Aoba and the others to Entrance No. 19 in the second round.

These two proctors would definitely know something.

If there was nothing wrong with what Aoba said.

Then it could prove that Aoba really did not lie about this matter, and he did not cheat.

...

Everyone's eyes focused on Shikaku as they watched this chief examiner leave.

As Shikaku disappeared from everyone's line of sight.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

At this time.

Everyone looked at Aoba with a huge change in their eyes. They already knew that Aoba did not cheat. They knew that they had misunderstood Aoba earlier, and their impression of Aoba had changed.

But no one spoke.

They fell back into silence.

Aoba sat on the ground again and slowly closed his eyes. This kind of thing would not even cause his heart to fluctuate. He just wanted to prove that he was innocent through this kind of thing. As for other things, it was not so big.

Saki stared fixedly at Aoba. She had just finished cooperating with Shikaku's "performance". However, she had originally thought that Aoba was going to stay for the third round. However, she discovered that Aoba had already chosen to forfeit. This sort of thing was outside of her original expectations.

"Rin, wait for me here."

After hesitating for a moment, Saki said to Rin who was beside her. After she finished speaking, she directly walked over to Aoba who was resting with his eyes closed not far away.

"Aoba, I have something to tell you. Come over for a moment."

Saki walked in front of Aoba, who had his eyes closed, and said coldly. There was a hint of order in her tone.

"There is nothing to talk about," Aoba said indifferently. He did not even move his eyelids and had no intention of speaking to Saki.

In fact.

Originally, he still had some longing for this ninja team.

After all, this was something he did not have.

However, after a simple experience, he found that the experience was not very good. Not only did he lie down the whole time, but he was also slandered by his teammates.

Ever since he heard Saki say those words in the Forest of Death.

He did not have any good feelings for this self-righteous girl anymore.

"Come with me!"

Saki frowned. Her tone revealed some impatience. She felt that Aoba was deliberately challenging her limits by doing this.

This feeling made her very unhappy.

She just thought that Aoba was taking advantage of the situation.

How could he be so cheap?!

"If you want to say it, then say it here. If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. I also don't really want to know. You should prepare for the third round." Aoba said indifferently.

"Good!"

Saki immediately smiled and nodded while smiling.

"I wanted to call you to a place where no one was around to ask you!"

"That would save you some face!"

"This is because you don't want face. Then I will ask you here!"

Saki's voice was not loud, and she even deliberately lowered it a lot. However, this place was too quiet. In addition, after what happened just now, everyone's attention was still on Aoba, and they immediately noticed what happened here.

"????"

Question marks appeared in everyone's heads. In their understanding, Aoba and Saki were clearly teammates. Why did it look like their teammates had already turned against each other? What was going on?

In a split second.

The people on the scene once again turned into a crowd of people who were eating melons.

They had not recovered from the melon just now, and now they were going to eat a new melon here again.

After hearing Saki's words, Aoba did not have any reaction at all. Now he admired the brain circuits of this girl, he could not guess what the girl was thinking in her mind.

"Can you explain the forfeiting matter?"

Saki lowered her head and looked down at Aoba. The angle of her lightly lowered head showed a condescending attitude. Coupled with her questioning tone, it has a very strong sense of déjà vu.

"Explain what?" Aoba was stunned for a moment. He slowly opened his eyes and looked up at Saki. He said, "What is there to explain?"

"In the first round, you gave us two answers. In the second round, you helped us find the Scroll of Heaven. We broke the record two rounds in a row, and there was almost no consumption. In the third round, you directly gave up. Shouldn't you explain it?" Saki said coldly. Her eyes became sharp as she spoke. In just a few words, she found some questions to Aoba's answer earlier. After all, she didn't believe Aoba's answer in her heart.

"Why should I explain it to you?" The corners of Aoba's mouth curled up in disdain. After that, he said, "Moreover, I have just explained it. Didn't you hear it?"

"Aoba!"

After hearing Aoba's words, Saki's face turned extremely ugly. She glared at Aoba with fierce eyes, feeling that she had suffered a great deal of perfunctory.

"Have you had enough trouble!"

Chapter 382: Is It You?

Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer Chapter 382 Was It You?

Saki's voice was very loud, and her tone was full of dissatisfaction. Her words clearly entered everyone's ears, making everyone's expressions become complicated.

All of a sudden.

Everyone realized something very interesting.

It seemed...

This melon was not over yet.

There was a reversal of the situation

Only.

Now that these words came out of Saki's mouth, there was a completely different feeling from what Shikaku said.

From the questioning tone.

People felt an extremely special feeling.

Almost everyone's eyes fell on Aoba at this moment. They stared at him with wide eyes, looking forward to what would happen next.

"I haven't said anything. I just wanted to save face for you, but you are still fighting with me!"

"Do you think I don't know the secret technique of your Yamanaka clan?"

"Through Shintenshin no Jutsu(Mind Body Switch Technique) controlling the proctor, then use Saiko Denshin(Mind Reading Secret Technique) through the proctor, and finally passing the answer to us through Shindenshin no Jutsu(Mind Body Transmission Technique)..."

"After you say such a thing, will you believe it yourself?"

"I didn't want to say anything about you acting together with Big Brother Shikaku, but you look like it's real!"

"You disappoint me too much!"

Saki said one sentence after another. Her tone had become extremely cold. However, when she said it, everyone suddenly widened their eyes, as if they had discovered something else.

"!!!"

The crowd seemed to explode in an instant, and they immediately began to discuss. Everyone's eyes flashed with a strange color.

"Acting?"

"What's going on?"

"The chief examiner is acting?"

"This is what Aoba's teammate said!"

"Oh my god!"

"What is going on?"

"I'm becoming stupid!"

"..."

Voices of discussion sounded. This matter was too shocking, so much so that they could not calm down.

Such a thing was too shocking.

So much so that they all felt that something had changed greatly.

After all...

This girl and Aoba were teammates!

Saki stared coldly at Aoba. When she saw that Aoba did not answer her, the expression on her face became even uglier.

She had always boasted of being smart since she was young.

Many things were easily understood.

Now, she had already seen through everything here. It was only because she was concerned about Shikaku's face that she did not say it out loud. But when she was talking to Aoba just now, she was too angry and blurted it out.

However.

Even if she said it, she did not feel any regret.

This kind of thing.

She naturally knew that Shikaku had a way to get his face back.

Right now, she just wanted to use these words to force Aoba to speak the truth. However, she also thought of it now. The more it was like this, the more Aoba would not tell the truth. Otherwise, he would not be able to continue acting.

So...

He had to deny it.

Or he does not say anything.

He would turn this matter into a mere doubt, without any evidence, and it would slowly dissipate.

Saki felt that she had seen through a lot of things, so she knew that if she did not ask clearly, this matter might have passed just like that.

"You are really smart."

Aoba said lightly. He raised his eyes and looked at Saki. At this time, he regretted not listening to Shikaku.

If he had listened to Shikaku at the beginning.

And directly cheated in the first round then dragged the two girls down.

At most, it would only arouse the dissatisfaction of the two girls. Moreover, the person that these two girls would hate the most was Shikaku.

But now...

He had clearly brought these two girls to the third round.

Yet he had to bear such a big black pot.

It was as if Danzo would shed tears if he knew about it!

"Don't use your thoughts to guess at me. If you don't believe me when I tell you the truth, then why would I need to waste my saliva explaining?"

As Aoba spoke, he slowly stood up and sighed softly.

In the end, he didn't know much about the world of ninjas.

Now that he had this kind of experience.

This could also be considered an experience gain.

At this point.

Aoba understood very well that in the future, he must not be entangled in any fetters.

This would be a very troublesome matter.

For example, right now.

If you can't explain it clearly, your reputation will be ruined. If you explain it clearly, your strength will be exposed.

In comparison, you should just let that boring reputation go with the wind.

"Whatever you think. I don't care. Don't bother me anymore."

Aoba strode toward the tower exit without looking back. He did not care what the people here were talking about. It did not matter no matter what they said.

He explained.

Shikaku also explained.

In that case.

It didn't matter whether they believed it or not.

Aoba walked out step by step without looking back. When he walked to the entrance of the tower, he immediately saw the two ninja guards.

"Aoba?"

When the two saw Aoba, they immediately looked at him. When they were guarding the entrance, the one with the deepest impression was only this youth called Yamanaka Aoba in front of them.

"What are you going to do?"

When the two saw that Aoba was about to walk out, they were stunned for a moment and immediately went up to stop him.

"The chief examiner has ordered that no one is allowed to go out until the end of the exam."

"Aoba, you can't go out now!"

The two stopped Aoba and said seriously. This was their task, and it had nothing to do with whether this person was Aoba or not. No matter who came out of this place, they had to stop them.

"Understood."

Aoba nodded. He directly stood next to the two ninja guards. He did not say a word and quietly stayed here, waiting for the end of the Chunin Exams' second round.

Aoba no longer wanted to return inside.

It was too annoying over there.

...

A few hours later.

Noisy voices rang out.

Under the leadership of the proctors, the exam participant who had not passed the second round followed behind the proctors and walked down together.

"The chief examiner ordered me to bring these exam participants out of the Forest of Death!"

A proctor said to the two ninja guards. After he said this, the two immediately stepped aside and nodded.

Step, step, step, step...

Along with the sound of footsteps, these people walked toward the Forest of Death.

"Aoba, if you really decide to forfeit, then you can also follow!" One of the proctors said. His eyes stared at Aoba, feeling that this matter was very unfortunate. However, the decision was in Aoba's hands, so he had nothing to say.

"En."

Aoba nodded and directly followed. He had no interest in the Chunin Exams and Chunin's title at all. Now that he could finally leave this place that made him feel extremely depressed, he felt very comfortable.

"Sigh..."

The two ninja guards watched Aoba leave and could not help but sigh. They felt a deep sense of regret in their hearts. They did not know why things would become like this. This young man who broke the Chunin Exams record actually left in such a way.

... The original appearance of this chapter can be found at N0v3l--Biin.

Tower, second floor.

Inoichi withdrew his hand and slowly exhaled. At this time, his forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat. He was in a state of extreme fatigue.

Reading the memories.

It was like physical labor.

However, it can't be regarded as rough work, but the kind of rough work with fine details, which was tiring and has to be endured.

Even he didn't know how long it had been since he had used the mind-reading secret technique. After all, when he needed to read memories, he didn't need to do it at all. There were too many people who could replace him.

"Is there any result?"

When Hiruzen saw Inoichi open his eyes, he immediately asked. He had always been looking forward to such a thing, wanting to know what had happened.

"I saw a part of the scene."

Inoichi said slowly. He pressed his fingers on his temples. He had a splitting headache and consumed a lot of energy.

"I saw a Kirigakure ninja attacking these three people. Before killing them, he used Suiro no Jutsu(Water Prison Technique)!"

"What else did that ninja say..."

"The memory points I read are a little blurry, and with the water prison, I can't hear anything clearly."

"It's probably like this."

Inoichi said a bunch of ambiguous things. It was really because he hadn't used the mind-reading secret technique for a long time. When he read the memory, many of the contents were already unclear. He could only vaguely make a rough guess.

"Is it really Kirigakure?" Hiruzen frowned. This was a little different from what he had expected. He thought it was a ninja from the Uzumaki Clan, but even if it was not, he still felt that this was related to the ninjas from the Uzumaki Clan.

"It is confirmed that it is Kirigakure's ninja. However, the specific memories will have to wait until the Sensor Ninjas arrive to be explained in detail. I vaguely feel that what that Kirigakure's ninja said is very important, but I really can't hear it clearly." Inoichi said helplessly. His head was dizzy and he could not muster up any strength. Reading the memories of three corpses that had been dead for a few days in a row was very taxing on him.

"I understand."

Hiruzen nodded and did not say anything more. However, in his heart, he had already begun to think about Kirigakure.

"Shikaku, how long until the Sensor Ninja team arrived?" Hiruzen asked.

"At most half an hour." Shikaku immediately replied.

"When they come, immediately arrange for them to read the corpse's memories!" Hiruzen ordered. After that, he walked towards the door.

"Yes!"

Shikaku nodded. Through Hiruzen's expression, he had already realized the seriousness of the matter.

Hiruzen walked out of the room step by step.

He walked along the corridor to the stairs, then walked up toward the observation deck on the third floor. He then looks at the Forest of Death ahead.

At this moment.

It just so happened that the exam participants who had already failed walked out.

"Kirigakure ninja..."

"What does it have to do with the ninjas of the Uzumaki Clan?"

"Uchiha Kaede said that he was attacked by a Kirigakure ninja."

"The three Iwagakure ninjas were also attacked by a Kirigakure ninja."

"Why is Uchiha Kaede fine?"

"Not only is he not injured, but he is also incapacitated using a seal..."

"Is this seal for me to see?"

"Is it you?"

Hiruzen looked at the trees in the distance. His mind was a mess. This was different from Saki's wild imagination. He could not think of any more possibilities. He felt that everything was full of mysteries and there was an invisible big hand attacking him.

But at this time...

Danzo was injured.

He could only rely on himself to support this place!

"That ninja from the Uzumaki Clan..."

"Where is he now?"

"What kind of identity does he have?"

As Hiruzen was thinking about this, he suddenly widened his eyes. After that, he raised his hand and fiercely slapped his own face.

"Why am I so stupid!"

"Why don't I just ask Eaton about this?"

"If there is someone in the village who knows who that ninja from the Uzumaki Clan is..."

"It's only Morino Eaton!"

Hiruzen immediately turned around and walked down the stairs. He quickly went down to the first floor and then headed straight for the exit of the Forest of Death.

Swish swish swish...

Hiruzen was extremely fast. He shuttled through the forest, turning into afterimages. He found that his mind had been fixed. He could just directly ask Eaton about this matter. There was no need for him to guess so much.

He knew that Eaton would not tell him so easily.

But he was the Hokage.

There was always a way to find a breakthrough.

Suddenly.

Hiruzen seemed to have found the answer to this difficult problem. He no longer cared about his identity. He also no longer cares about the promise he said to Aoba not to look for Eaton because of this matter. Now, he wanted to know who that Uzumaki Clan person was.

After all, he and Danzo could not get away with the matters of the Uzumaki Clan. It was very likely that the other party was here for revenge!

After all.

If that descendant of the Uzumaki Clan did not know about the Uzumaki Clan's matter, there was no need for him to hide his identity.

Wasn't the purpose of doing that to hide in the dark?

Even the purpose of saving Danzo might be to investigate the people who knew the truth about what happened back then!

All of a sudden.

Hiruzen broke out in a cold sweat.

He was already starting to get nervous and his running speed become faster.

Chapter 383: Is He a Ninja From the Uzumaki Clan?

Aoba left the Forest of Death with most of the participants and returned to Konohagakure. Along the way, the participants discussed all sorts of strange things with each other. After all, they were all eliminated from the entire group. They were at least a three-man team, so the topic was roughly the same.

Aoba followed behind everyone.

He was like an invisible person.

He wasn't noticed by these people.

He was still as low-key as before, and it could be said that he didn't have any sense of existence.

After Aoba left the Forest of Death, he separated from these people. After that, he came to a place where there was no one. He immediately controlled his mind and determined the location of the abandoned tower in another forest. He directly used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) and his figure flashed and disappeared in an instant.

Swish!

Almost in the blink of an eye.

Aoba arrived at the abandoned tower.

Abandoned tower.

The same first floor.

The difference was that there was no one here. It was very quiet and would not be disturbed at all.

After that.

Aoba raised two fingers in both of his hands and form a cross in front of his chest.

"Taju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique)!"

Aoba said lightly. As his voice fell, one shadow clone after another appeared beside him. Everyone looked exactly the same as him.

"Just do something!"

Aoba waved his hand at these shadow clones. These shadow clones were a part of him, and they possessed his thoughts, so they completely understood what he wanted.

Immediately after.

Aoba used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) again.

He then appeared in a forest that was closer to Konohagakure's bustling area.

At this time.

Because of the Chunin Exams' influence.

Many of his plans stopped. He was not in the mood to continue, but he did not want to laze like this.

So he let these shadow clones do it!

After Aoba walked out of the forest, he did not return to the Anbu dormitory. Instead, he walked toward Ramen Ichiraku.

From the moment he entered the Ninja School classroom to take the Chunin Exams, to when he had just walked out of the Forest of Death, it had already been a full five days.

These five days were neither long nor short. It was enough for too many things to happen.

Now, Aoba had to first understand the current situation.

Regarding the changes that he missed. L1teraryN0v3l hosted the first appearance of this chapter at N0vel.B1n.

In the entire Konohagakure, Teuchi was definitely one of the clearest people. Coming here to find Teuchi was far more efficient than reading other people's memories on the street.

Not long after.

Aoba came to Ramen Ichiraku's entrance and walked straight in.

"Brother Teuchi!"

After entering, Aoba immediately greeted Teuchi who was cooking ramen. It was a little late now. There was no one inside the Noodle House, so it was relatively quiet.

"Aoba, it's you. You came back so quickly?" When Teuchi saw Aoba, he narrowed his eyes and smiled. This person looked very warm.

"It's over."

Aoba shook his head with a smile. He went directly to the long table in front of Teuchi. After that, he said, "Give me a bowl of ramen!"

"Did you get eliminated?" Teuchi narrowed his eyes and stared at Aoba. It was not like he had never watched the Chunin Exams before. It was already over at this point in time. It was obvious that there was no more third round.

"About the same." Aoba smiled.

"It seems that the participants this time are very powerful. Even you were eliminated. I really didn't expect this." Teuchi immediately put the noodles in the pot. From his actions, this time, he increased the amount. He said, "I didn't expect that; I'll give you more to soothe your wounded heart."

"The participant in this year's Chunin Exams are indeed very powerful. I am amazed. I am indeed not their match."

Aoba was not being perfunctory, but he remembered that when he was in the tower, those people looked at him with contempt in their eyes.

"It doesn't matter, try it again next time!" Teuchi said with a smile.

"No, I won't try it in the future. It is useless for anyone to pull me to sign up!" Aoba shook his head. As the saying goes, you learn a lot from a pit, and this time he also understands compassion. He wanted to try what it was like to form a team with others. It was not a very good experience for him.

"Hahahaha..." Teuchi laughed and did not say much on this topic. He felt that Aoba was like a child who had just fallen out of love. He said that he would not fall in love again in the future. In fact, it was a matter in the future. It would be decided in the future and had nothing to do with the present.

"Is Minato back?"

Aoba also did not want to continue the topic. He raised his eyes and stared at Teuchi. This question was the topic he was most concerned about. After all, according to the time, it had been almost a month since Minato went to Mount Myoboku. Perhaps it was almost time for him to return.

"No news."

Teuchi shook his head. The smile on his face disappeared at this moment. He had not seen Minato in this period of time. He missed him very much. He glanced at Aoba and said, "Actually, I wanted to ask you this question."

"That's mean he is still in Mount Myoboku." Aoba nodded.

"What kind of technique does it take Minato to practice for so long?" Teuchi asked doubtfully. He had more or less figured it out in his heart. However, he felt that Minato's talent was very strong. He could learn any ninjutsu immediately. Even Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique), which was extremely difficult to master, was not a problem for Minato. Why did it seem as if he was trapped this time?

"If I'm not wrong, Minato should have learned it, but he hasn't completely mastered it yet. Konohagakure is in a good condition now, and he is not in a hurry to return." Aoba analyzed. Senjutsu was indeed difficult to learn, but Minato's talent was really great. According to the information he knew, according to the original story, Minato had learned Sage Mode, but he had never been proficient in it. He could only maintain it for a few minutes, and there were still many things that needed to be improved.

"Now it is relatively calm. It is good to practice more. Once the flames of war spread to Konohagakure, there will be no free time to practice seriously." Teuchi nodded.

"Minato has his own choice. Before he comes back, we can just wait." Aoba said. He felt that Minato would be back in a few days.

"Don't think too much. Eat the ramen first. The ramen is ready!"

As Teuchi spoke, he fished out the noodles in the pot and put them into a clean empty bowl. After that, he poured soup and pour it on the bowl. Immediately after, the ramen fragrance filled the place.

Teuchi brought over the bowl of ramen that had already been cooked and placed it in front of Aoba. Throughout the entire process, he was all smiles as he stared at Aoba.

"Thank you, Brother Teuchi!"

Aoba nodded at Teuchi. He picked up the fragrant ramen in front of him and immediately began to eat in large mouthfuls.

Slurp~ Slurp~ Slurp~

When the noodles entered his mouth, they left a fragrance on his lips and teeth.

This feeling of satiety immediately made his sense of happiness multiply. One had to know that in the five days, he had been in the Forest of Death, he had not even eaten a proper meal and had always been eating military rations pills.

...

Just as Aoba was eating noodles.

Hiruzen had already arrived at the Konohagakure Intelligence Division entrance.

"Sandaime-sama!"

When the two Anbu guards at Konohagakure Intelligence Division's entrance saw Hiruzen, they immediately bowed to him.

"Is your Captain here?"

Hiruzen casually waved his hand at the two Anbu. He did not care about etiquette at all. The most important thing now was to find Eaton and ask about the matter of the Uzumaki Clan ninja from him.

"Captain is in his office!"

How could these two Anbu dare to hide anything? The one standing in front of them was the village's Hokage.

"Take me there."

Hiruzen said indifferently. He wanted to ask about this matter as soon as possible. Then, he would return to the tower and compare it with the memories of the three Iwagakure ninjas over there to confirm whether the Kirigakure ninja was related to the ninjas of the Uzumaki clan.

"Yes!"

The two Anbu looked at each other. One of them immediately led Hiruzen to Eaton's office.

Soon.

Under the guidance of this Anbu, Hiruzen arrived at the office door of Konohagakure Intelligence Division Captain, Morino Eaton.

"We're here!" The Anbu who brought Hiruzen over said respectfully.

"Thank you for your hard work. You can go back." Hiruzen nodded at this Anbu.

"Yes!" This Anbu immediately responded and turned to leave.

After watching the Anbu leave, Hiruzen raised his hand and knocked on the door of Eaton's office.

"Wait!"

Eaton's voice sounded from inside the office. There was a strong sense of impatience in his voice as if the sound of the door knocking had disturbed something important.

A few minutes later.

The door of the office opened.

Eaton walked out of the door with a frown on his face. Just as he was about to ridicule this person in front of him, he immediately saw this person's appearance.

"San... Sandai... Sandaime-sama..."

Eaton's expression suddenly became incomparably wonderful. His face seemed to have a feeling that something good had been interrupted, but he had no choice but to show respect to this person. The flames of depression in his heart could not be released at all, making him feel very uncomfortable.

"I didn't disturb you, did I?"

Hiruzen said politely. He didn't care what Eaton was doing at all. He didn't even think about it. His thoughts were completely occupied. All he thought about was the identity of the Uzumaki Clan ninja.

"No... no... no... nothing..."

Eaton shook his head repeatedly. He didn't know Hiruzen's real purpose. He thought that Hiruzen had something to say. Suddenly, his face turned red and he couldn't even speak clearly.

"You won't let me in?" Hiruzen looked at Eaton's strange face and asked.

"Please come in!"

Eaton quickly stepped out of the door. After he saw Hiruzen walk in, he immediately closed the door of the office.

Hiruzen had no intention of being polite to Eaton. After entering the office, he sat on the chair in front of Eaton's desk.

Eaton looked at where Hiruzen was sitting.

A bitter smile appeared on his face.

One had to know.

With Hiruzen's status, he could directly walk onto the main seat.

This made him feel awkward.

"Eaton, sit!"

Hiruzen looked at the stunned Eaton and immediately waved to him. His eyes fell on Eaton, trying to control his urgency to make himself seem natural.

"Yes!"

After hearing Hiruzen's words, Eaton no longer dared to decline. He immediately sat on the main seat. From the appearance of his face, he appeared to be cautious.

After Eaton sat down.

He did not dare to speak lightly.

He waited for Hiruzen to speak.

He still didn't know why Hiruzen was here.

"Eaton, I came here to find you because I have something very important to ask you. You have to tell me the truth!" Hiruzen stared at Eaton and said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Eaton immediately nodded.

"The person who came with you to treat Danzo's injuries..." Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and slowly asked, "Who is it?"

"This..."

Eaton did not expect that Hiruzen would ask this question. He instantly fell silent and did not answer Hiruzen.

It was not that he did not know the answer.

It was that he knew too well!

He had already promised Aoba, so he would not betray him that easily!

But...

The person in front of him was the Hokage!

"What? Is it inconvenient to say?" When Hiruzen saw Eaton's embarrassed look, he spoke again, this time with some intimidation.

"Sandaime-sama, didn't you already promise that you wouldn't ask me such a question?" Eaton said with a bitter smile. He had no way to answer this question, so he could only bring the topic to another place.

"It seems that he told you everything!" Hiruzen nodded. He was even more sure that Eaton knew the identity of that Uzumaki Clan ninja. His face darkened and he whispered, "I suspect that he is related to Kirigakure. I need you to tell me his identity."

"Kirigakure?" Eaton was stunned for a moment, then shook his head repeatedly and said, "Impossible!"

"Are you so sure?" Hiruzen asked doubtfully.

"I am very sure that he is not related to Kirigakure!" Eaton patted his chest and promised, "Sandaime-sama, if you are looking for Kirigakure's ninja, then I can guarantee that he is definitely not. I can be sure of this!"

"Oh?"

When Hiruzen heard this, he suddenly laughed.

"Since he is not related to Kirigakure..."

"Then he is a ninja disguised as Kirigakure ninja!"

"Then tell me..."

"Is he a ninja from the Uzumaki Clan?"

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 384: Can I Tell You That I Don't Feel Anything at All?

"A ninja from the Uzumaki Clan?"

When Eaton heard this, a lot of question marks appeared in his head. This question sounded very strange.

Others did not know the identity of the mysterious ninja.

Didn't he know? n(0)vel(b)(j)(n) was the first platform to present this chapter.

That was Aoba!

Yamanaka Aoba!

He was not a ninja from the Uzumaki Clan!

He was very sure of this!

"No!"

"Definitely not!"

"I can guarantee it!"

Eaton nodded repeatedly. There was no point in hesitation when he said these words. He had never associated Aoba with the Uzumaki Clan. This was something that was impossible to begin with.

"What guarantee do you have?"

When Hiruzen heard Eaton's words, he immediately smiled. He felt that Eaton answered too quickly. There is something wrong with this. In this world, who can guarantee someone?

"I..."

When Eaton heard Hiruzen's words, he was stunned for a moment and did not know how to continue.

Yes!

What guarantee did he have?

Personality?

Or his life?

Now that he couldn't reveal Aoba's identity, there was no way to prove that Aoba had nothing to do with the people of the Uzumaki Clan.

Most importantly...

Eaton had no idea why Aoba was connected to the Uzumaki Clan. Hadn't the Uzumaki Clan disappeared a long time ago?!

"Eaton."

Hiruzen's face turned solemn and serious. He stared at Eaton with burning eyes, he looked powerful and dignified.

"To tell you the truth!"

"The mysterious ninja you brought used a sealing technique that could imprison the soul when treating Danzo!"

"We have never seen such a sealing technique paired with medical ninjutsu!"

"Moreover."

"Only the members of the Uzumaki Clan know this kind of sealing technique!"

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Hiruzen did not say anything else, but it was not vague at all. The purpose of his words was to let Eaton understand it himself, understand such things, and then tell the specific truth.

"Sandaime-sama..."

Eaton took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. He looked at Hiruzen's dignified appearance. If he did not know Aoba's identity, he would really think that he had brought a very dangerous person to the village.

"I can be sure that he is not in any danger to the village, and he is the one who saved Danzo-sama. There is no need to keep pursuing the identity of the other party like this..."

Eaton mustered up the courage to say this. He had always wanted to say this, but he had never said it.

It was precisely because of this matter.

He already had a lot of complaints about the Hiruzen in his heart.

After all.

He felt that Hiruzen frequently asking about Aoba's identity was a little too degrading, and there was really no need.

"You!"

Hiruzen slowly shook his head. Through Eaton's words, he could already confirm that he could not get anything out of him.

The other party did not realize the seriousness of the matter at all.

However, that was also true...

The other party had never experienced the annihilation of the clan of the Uzumaki Clan. It was reasonable that he was not aware of the importance of the matter. Even if he encountered the people of the Uzumaki Clan, he would not think that they would cause any harm to the village.

"Eaton, if you don't want to tell me, I won't force you. Since you know the identity of that person, I hope you will pay more attention. If there is anything wrong, you can report to me at any time!"

At this point, Hiruzen stood up and prepared to leave.

There were still many things waiting for him.

For example, go back and look at the memories of the three Iwagakure ninjas.

And on this matter, what kind of explanation should he give Iwagakure to prevent Konohagakure from getting involved in this Third Ninja World War.

These were all very important things!

"I'm leaving."

Hiruzen immediately stood up and walked out of Eaton's office. He did not continue to waste time here.

After Hiruzen left.

Eaton silently sat on the chair at his desk. He lowered his head to look at the book "Teacher Bai of the Ninja School" on the table and fell into silence.

After a long time.

Eaton sighed deeply and his eyes become complicated.

"Aoba..."

"Who the hell are you?"

"Why do I feel like I don't know you anymore?"

Eaton had thought of this a long time ago, but he had never been so clear about it. Now that he thought about it, he was even more confused.

Physically weak, but has never had any problems in the Konohagakure Intelligence Division.

For no reason, he became Tsunade-sama's disciple.

His medical ninjutsu made all of Konohagakure's medical ninjas blush with shame.

Now, Hiruzen suspected that he was a ninja from the Uzumaki Clan.

And...

Such a special identity was hidden very well by Aoba.

He knew.

But no one else knew.

This was not normal in itself.

"Forget it!"

"I don't want to think anymore!"

"I'll ask him directly after his Chunin Exams!"

Eaton shook his head hard and suppressed his messy thoughts. After that, he once again focused his attention on the book in front of him.

The story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School.

Although he had read it countless times.

But every time he read it again, he would still be amazed by it.

...

After Aoba finished eating ramen, he said goodbye to Teuchi and went straight back to Anbu dormitory.

After eating this bowl of ramen.

He felt a lot better.

The dissatisfaction he had felt over the past few days had disappeared with the thick soup.

It had to be said.

This time, Teuchi prepare a big portion of ramen.

It was very, very thick.

It was extremely satisfying.

...

Aoba walks back to the Anbu dormitory. On his way back, he had already been noticed by some people. However, they were no longer as enthusiastic as when they saw Aoba.

Things were different now.

In the past.

They thought that the story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School was written by Aoba.

Thus, they looked at Aoba with a strange gazes.

It was different now.

They had already seen the author of the story "Teacher Bai of the Ninja School." They already understood what was going on.

Fugaku.

Wasn't that Uchiha Fugaku?

Gradually.

The ninjas who knew the truth began to lose their enthusiasm for Aoba.

Of course.

Aoba was also happy.

After Aoba returned to the Anbu dormitory, he immediately took a bath and changed into a clean set of clothes. Just as he was done, he heard a series of knocks on the door.

"Coming!"

Aoba responded and immediately walked toward the door. He was not so surprised that someone knocked on the door. After all, the people here had already seen his return.

The information had already been sent out.

The people who paid attention to him naturally knew about these things.

It was just that...

Aoba didn't know if the first person to arrive was Eaton or Fugaku. Other than these two people, he couldn't think of anyone else.

Aoba walked to the door.

He lifted his hand and unlocked the door.

A figure appeared in front of him.

"Aoba, you didn't expect it to be me, right?"

A crafty voice sounded. This voice made Aoba feel a bit familiar. After seeing the face, he instantly recalled a memory.

This person was neither Eaton nor Fugaku.

Rather, it was Yamanaka Kaze, who was willing to be in the same group as him when he was doing Danzo's mission.

However, the present was different from the past.

Aoba was still the same Aoba.

However, Kaze had already become a member of Root!

"I really didn't expect that."

Aoba nodded. He was telling the truth. He had thought of many people who might come to see him, but he had never thought that Kaze would come.

He and Kaze were not friends.

He didn't even have a good impression of him.

It stands to reason that there would be no more communication between them.

"Aren't you going to invite me in?" Kaze smiled as he looked at Aoba.

"Please come in."

Aoba said lightly. After that, he return back inside and pulled out a chair for Kaze.

"Then I won't be polite."

Although Kaze said this, in fact, he did not mean to be polite at all. He directly stepped into Aoba's room and closed the door with a backhand. Then he entered the room and sat on the chair Aoba had prepared.

"Aoba, do you know why I came here to see you?"

Kaze said as if he was keeping Aoba in suspense. His eyes stared at Aoba meaningfully, and his eyes contained a rich meaning.

Aoba felt bored.

You came to me and you asked me why you came?

What kind of bad taste was this?

Just like before Aoba came to this world, there was one thing he hated the most in the modern world, and that was when answering the phone, the other party asked him who he was?

Please!

Is there a mistake?

Why are you asking me when you are looking for me?

However.

Right now, Aoba just happened to have the slightest bit of interest.

He raised his head and met Kaze's gaze.

"In order to be the first to laugh?"

Aoba saw a trace of ridicule in Kaze's eyes. In addition, their relationship was not that good, so this kind of thing was not difficult to understand.

"No."

Kaze shook his head, and the smile on his face turned a little helpless. He said, "Am I so unbearable in your impression? I did hear that you forfeited in the Chunin Exams, but definitely not to laugh at you, but to chat with you."

"What do we have to talk about?" Aoba asked in confusion.

"You should know that I was on the same team as Saki and Rin in the past. It was me!" Kaze said in a low voice. When he mentioned this matter, his expression did not look so happy.

"I have heard of it." Aoba nodded and did not say much. He always felt that Kaze coming this time was not a simple matter.

"Now you also feel Saki and Rin's character. It must be very hard to be teammates with them. Now you also understand why I must enter the Anbu and rely on my own strength to climb up." Kaze spread his hands and said helplessly.

"I understand. You are here to complain..." When Aoba saw Kaze's appearance, he immediately understood. This guy must have had many unspeakable encounters with the two girls. He had a stomach full of bitterness. Now, he finally found someone who could sympathize with him.

"About the same!"

Kaze nodded. The moment he knew that Aoba had taken over his position and joined Saki and Rin to participate in the Chunin Exam, he wanted to come over and talk to Aoba.

However...

At that time, he felt that if he talked too much, he would be chewing his tongue instead.

It would be better to wait until Aoba come back.

Now was the best time.

"If I'm not wrong..."

The corners of Kaze's mouth curled up again, revealing a disdainful arc. However, this expression was not directed at Aoba, but toward Saki and Rin.

"I'm afraid you've been misunderstood by her, right?"

The moment Kaze said this.

Aoba immediately understood.

It seemed.

Saki was the king of brain supplementation.

She must have done this kind of thing many times before.

Kaze may have suffered a lot from this aspect.

"Hahahahaha..."

Aoba suddenly laughed. He didn't say a word. He just laugh, and everything was clearly expressed.

Saki and Rin were simply two big clowns.

It was just that ordinary people really couldn't hold on.

One is the king of brain supplementation.

The other was mainly based on intuition.

Many things were useless even if he explains them!

"It seems like that is indeed the case." Kaze sighed helplessly.

"You didn't look for me just to complain, did you?"

Aoba saw that Kaze didn't say anything specific. There was only helplessness on his face, and he didn't hate that level of negative emotions.

No matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem like he come here just to complain.

He keeps feeling that there were other things here.

"Complaining is only a part of it, but not the most important part. I have already received a mission to read your memory to make sure that you did not cheat in the Chunin Exams!"

Kaze's face suddenly changed. The smiling face just now disappeared, replaced by a stern look.

"I know you won't let me read your memory easily!"

"So I prepared an anesthetic beforehand!"

"By the way..."

"I have a good relationship with Saki and Rin!"

"I came here to complain just to arouse your resonance to let you relax your vigilance!"

In front of Aoba, Kaze performed a dramatic change in expression. Just now, he had been smiling helplessly at his fellow sufferers, but now, he had revealed his fangs.

"I see."

Aoba did not show any surprise, as if he had already seen through all of this. He was extremely indifferent and had no reaction at all.

"Hmm?"

Kaze stared at Aoba closely. He could already see that Aoba had not changed at all. He could not help but reveal a puzzled expression.

"Strange."

"Why haven't you fallen yet?"

"It doesn't make sense."

"Is the dosage not right?"

Kaze stared at Aoba and muttered to himself. He had prepared a large amount of anesthetic that was enough to make Aoba unconscious. But now, it seemed that it had no effect at all.

"Can I tell you that I don't feel anything at all?"

Aoba said indifferently. He looked at Kaze's puzzled and slightly panicked eyes. He felt that this person was really a villain. He actually directly used drugs in front of him.

However.

These drugs were completely useless to him.

His Sage Body could be said to be immune to poison and had no reaction at all. If Kaze did not take the initiative to say it, he would not have noticed this matter.

Chapter 385: This Place Is Full of Aoba!

"What?!"

Kaze immediately stood up. His eyes were wide open as he stared at Aoba in a daze. There were many things he wanted to say, but all of them circled around his mouth, not saying a word.

'Don't feel anything?'

'What was going on?'

'Could it be that the dosage of the anesthetic was too little?'

'That can't be!'

'Being dizzy a little bit should still be acceptable!'

"Surprised?"

Aoba looked at Kaze with deep meaning. When he first saw Kaze earlier, he felt that this person was strange. However, he did not think of a specific reason at that time. Now, he understood everything.

'It turned out that it was for Saki and Rin!'

Aoba thought of this.

He couldn't help but feel that Saki had gone a little overboard.

He had already explained everything clearly, and he had already withdrawn from the Chunin Exams. It was obvious that he didn't want to participate in their matters anymore, but he didn't expect that she would still have to send Kaze over to read his memories.

Such a thing...

In Aoba's eyes.

It could be said that it was extremely excessive!

"What...what's the matter with you?"

A hint of panic flashed through Kaze's eyes. After that, he immediately returned to his normal state. The corners of his mouth slightly curled up, revealing a smile.

"What a pity!"

"Since you already know!"

"Then this kind of thing can't be done without making a sound!"

"I'll move fast!"

"Just bear with it for a bit!"

Kaze stared at Aoba with a cold glint in his eyes. He was no longer the Kaze of the past. Now, he was by Danzo's side, a ninja of Root. Although Danzo was injured and affected the operation of Root, his position at Root was already stable, and the impact was not too big.

Now that he had such an identity.

The way Kaze looked at the others had already changed.

Especially the people of the Nara clan who looked down on him before.

There was a hint of undisguised complacency.

To put it simply.

Kaze had already drifted away.

He had used drugs on Aoba this time because of Saki's instruction not to be too rude to Aoba.

Now that he had revealed his cards, it didn't matter anymore.

"Interesting."

Aoba smiled meaningfully. He still sat on the chair and looked at Kaze who had already stood up. He slowly shook his head.

"You are not as calm as before."

"Before you were sure you could succeed."

"You actually leaked the mission."

"And after the obvious failure of the mission, even greater losses will be forced."

"How can such a Root person do this kind of thing?"

Aoba saw through Kaze's style at a glance. If he wanted to make an organization like Root in the future, he would definitely not use someone like Kaze. This was definitely a mission-destroying tool.

"Hahaha, Aoba, don't you think too highly of yourself? I will forcibly read your memories right now, what can you do?!"

Hearing Aoba says so much, Kaze only felt that a fly was making noises in his ears, which made him very agitated.

After that.

He took a step forward and grabbed Aoba.

From his posture.

From his posture, it was as if he was about to press Aoba down and forcibly read his memories.

"Wait..."

Aoba raised his right hand and pointed his palm at Kaze. He made a stop gesture, which stunned Kaze.

Kaze suddenly stopped.

He did not attack again.

He stared at Aoba suspiciously, not knowing what Aoba meant.

"Have you thought it through?"

Kaze narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "As long as you cooperate with me to read your memories and know what happened in the Chunin Exams, you can also reduce some physical pain. With your ability, you are still not my opponent."

"Kaze, I have a question." Aoba seemed to have not heard Kaze's words and asked.

"What question?" Kaze was stunned. He vaguely felt that Aoba was buying time, but he also wanted to know what Aoba's question was.

"You come to my dormitory so blatantly, aren't you afraid that others will know?" Aoba did not ask directly. Instead, he used a relatively obscure statement. After all, he could not ask if someone had seen him coming over.

"Hahahaha!" After hearing Aoba's words, Kaze immediately laughed out loud and said, "No one knows that I'm here, and not many people know that you're back. I wanted to knock you out and read your memories silently. Now, if you don't want to cooperate, I can only knock you out!"

"That's good. It's good that no one knows. It won't bring me too much trouble." Aoba nodded silently. After that, he muttered, "You have considered it very carefully, and you really need to control your voice, otherwise it would be bad to disturb other people."

"Are you sleep-talking?" After hearing Aoba's words, Kaze frowned slightly and felt puzzled. This person was not stupid enough to not see the situation clearly.

"Then I will send you to my tower." Aoba seemed to have made a decision. He looked up at Kaze in front of him and grinned, "You have to cherish this feeling. After that, I will erase your memories. In the future, you won't be able to remember it."

"What are you talking about?" Kaze was confused. He felt that Aoba seemed to be daydreaming. Everything he said was just a dream. There was no logic at all. It gave him a feeling of confusion.

"Go."

Under Kaze's gaze, Aoba slowly stood up. He raised his hand and directly slapped Kaze.

Such an action.

It immediately attracted Kaze's attention.

"This is your resistance?!"

Kaze had thought that Aoba would resist, but he never thought that he would resist in such a simple way.

Directly attack with his hand?

Was this person become stupid after going to Chunin Exams?

Who doesn't know that Aoba's body is weak?

What's the use of using such an attack method with almost no strength?

It's just a joke!

A deep disdain flashed in the depths of Kaze's eyes. He did not put Aoba's seemingly gentle action in his eyes at all.

Almost in an instant.

He took out a kunai.

He aimed the kunai blade at Aoba's throat and controlled Aoba's movements. He could then knock Aoba unconscious and read his memories.

Hum!

But.

Right at this time.

Aoba's right hand suddenly trembled slightly.

A thick amount of chakra rose from the center of Aoba's right palm. Moreover, a small black dot appeared on his palm. This small dot was his Flying Thunder God Formula.

"Hiraishin: Dorai(Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder)."

Aoba indifferently said these few words. As these words were spoken, Aoba's palm directly slapped Kaze's body.

Hum!

Kaze's body suddenly trembled.

Immediately after.

He felt an incomparably terrifying chakra that contained spacial energy wrapping around him, making him unable to move at all.

This kind of feeling.

It was unprecedented.

It shook his heart with extremely strong momentum.

Swish!

Almost in an instant.

He felt the world spin around him, and he suddenly appeared in another place.

This was a large hall.

There were people all around him.

"What is this place?"

A big question mark appeared on Kaze's head. His heart was now in a state of extreme fear. At this moment, he realized many things in his mind. These things were things he had never thought of before.

"This is a space-time ninjutsu!"

"Aoba is not that simple!"

"I underestimated Aoba!"

One thought after another emerged in Kaze's mind. Right now, he did not know who was around him. Those blurry figures made him unable to see clearly at all. He could only faintly feel that they were all staring at him.

This scene made him feel incomparably shocked.

He didn't know who the owner of these stares was, whether there was any danger, or what he was about to face.

It was only less than a second.

But in Kaze's eyes, it seemed like a long time had passed.

Gradually.

His vision became clearer.

The figures around him also became clearer.

"This... this is..."

When Kaze saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but suck in cold air. This was no longer a matter of shock, but fear, as if he had seen great horror.

This place was full of people.

Hundreds to thousands of people.

Moreover.

Everyone...

Was Aoba!

Aoba surrounded him!

Such a picture was something that he would never think of him in his dream.

"???"

Aoba's shadow clones, who didn't know anything and were training, were all staring at this unexpected guest with puzzled faces.

They didn't know why Kaze came.

Although they were all part of Aoba, their information was not shared. This was precisely the difference between the shadow clones and the six-paths clones.

Swish!

Just as these shadow clones were puzzled.

A figure suddenly appeared.

Another shadow clone.

This was a new shadow clone.

"Let's take good care of him together!"

This new shadow clone did not speak too clearly. However, the shadow clones present were all Aoba's shadow clones. There was no need to be so clear about this. After all, they all had to return to Aoba's body. As long as they knew what to do, it was enough.

A simple sentence.

All the shadow clones understood.

"Hehehe..."

Aoba's shadow clones were all rubbing their hands together. They stared at Kaze who was still in shock. Their eyes flashed with eagerness as if they wanted to go all out against Kaze. It was an intense multiplayer exercise.

"What... What... What are you guys going to do?"

Kaze took a deep breath. He looked at Aoba, who was gathered around him. All of them had the same expression, but there were some differences. He suddenly felt his anus tighten, and an ominous feeling arose in his heart.

"Don't come over!"

Kaze suddenly roared. He immediately looked around, and his gaze immediately fixed on the hall exit on the tower's first floor.

The door was tightly shut.

However, that was the only exit he had discovered at the moment.

Moreover.

There were fewer shadow clones in that direction.

It just so happened that it could be a breakthrough.

Kaze had never participated in Chunin Exams. He had never seen the tower's first floor. He did not know where this place was. However, he thought that since there was a door here, there might be people outside.

"Help!"

Kaze immediately shouted. His voice was very loud and directly spread out from the tower. If there were people around the tower, they could really hear it.

However.

What a pity.

In this Forest of Death.

Let alone humans...

There weren't even many animals.

Even if Kaze shouted until his throat was broken, no one would be able to save him.

Kaze did not dare to stay here for a moment. He directly ran in the exit direction. Moreover, he was not idle. As he ran, he did not forget to shout.

"Save me!"

"Can you hear me!"

"Who can save me!"

"This place is too scary!"

"This place is full of Aoba!"

It was not that Kaze had never seen a ninja's shadow clone, but after suddenly experiencing such space-time ninjutsu and being transferred to another place, then seeing so many ninjas who were exactly the same as Aoba, he was extremely nervous and could no longer tell if this was a real or a clone.

If it was really a shadow clone...

That was too much!

But if not a shadow clone...

Could it be a group of people who looked exactly the same?

Kaze's heart was beating wildly. His mood had already fallen to the bottom. He felt that the ups and downs of life were nothing more than this. Originally, he thought that he was a hunter who went to find Aoba with an anesthetic. Now, no matter how he looked at it, he was the prey.

"Shout!"

"Shout louder!"

"The louder you shout, the more exciting it is!"

"Kaze, did you eat?"

"Hurry up and run!"

"You're running too slowly!"

"It would be so boring if someone caught you by accident!"

"..."

Voices came from all of Kaze's directions. These sounds seemed to have magic power, constantly drilling into Kaze's ears.

These sounds seemed messy.

However, when Kaze heard them, he could clearly hear every sentence. The primary upload of this chapter happened on N0v3l--B1n.

Kaze felt that he had received an extremely strong mental impact.

Originally, one sentence from one person was enough to make people feel like they were going to collapse, but these people were all Aoba.

Their voices were the same.

Their tone was the same.

This was simply more depressing than a genjutsu.

After all...

The genjutsu was fake.

This was real!

"Who can save me!"

The thousands of words in Kaze's heart finally converged into this sentence. He could no longer say anything else. Only this sentence suited his mood the most.

Chapter 386: When Did You Learn the Sealing Technique of the Uzumaki Clan?

"Even if you shout until your throat breaks, no one will come to save you!"

"I think you can speak louder!"

"Exactly! That's right! Your voice is too soft!"

"Come on!"

"Others can't be blamed if they can't come here!"

"..."

Aoba's shadow clones said one sentence after another. These words were what Aoba wanted to say. It just so happened that there were too many people here to talk. Every time they said a few words, the meaning they wanted to express was expressed.

However...

Whether Kaze could understand the meaning was Kaze's problem.

"HELP..."

Kaze's mouth kept shouting, and he talk the most, but his voice was suppressed by the voices of Aoba's shadow clones behind him.

Every shadow clone only had one or two sentences to say.

However, there were too many of them!

The overall momentum was enough to crush Kaze to death!

...

Not long after.

Kaze had already run to the tower's first-floor exit.

Outside the door was a forest.

At this moment.

In Kaze's eyes, this door was no longer a simple door. Instead, it was a path to escape.

Inside, it was a hell full of Aoba.

Outside, there was a vast sea, a fish leaping into the sky, and a bird flying freely, so there was no need to worry about his problems.

However.

Just as Kaze arrived at the door.

Aoba's figure instantly appeared in front of him. With a playful smile on his face, he blocked the door.

"Get lost!"

Kaze's eyes were wide open. His eyes were bloodshot. He had not recovered from his shock. This person had always been in extreme fear. He immediately takes out a pile of shurikens from his ninja pouch and throws them directly at Aoba.

"Is this all you can do?"

"Are you still in an era of throwing shuriken?"

"There is no point in playing like this!"

"I don't want to play anymore! I don't want to play anymore!"

"..."

Aoba's voice rang out one after another. As these voices entered Kaze's ears, his body suddenly shook. His movements of running forward stopped. He felt that several hands had grabbed onto him. The strength of each hand was extremely great.

Immediately after.

Kaze's body was pulled away like a toy.

The shuriken, which he had thrown out, continued to shoot toward Aoba's shadow clone at the door. However, they did not hit at all and were all dodged by Aoba's shadow clone.

Ding! Ding! Ding!...

The shurikens collided one by one at the door, making crisp sounds. However, these sounds did not change Kaze's situation.

"Let go of me!"

Kaze shouted loudly. He struggled with all his might, trying to break free from this state. However, just as he was struggling with all his might, black lines appeared on his body.

In just an instant.

These lines spread throughout Kaze's entire body, causing all the nerves in his body to be severed. Not only was he unable to move, but he also found that his chakra had become blocked and could not be used.

This situation greatly exceeded Kaze's understanding.

"..."

Kaze wanted to cry out in alarm, but he couldn't speak. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make a single sound.

'This...'

'What the hell is this?!'

'What did he do?'

'I can't even scream?'

Kaze was greatly shocked. He had never thought that one day, he would see Aoba with such strength. It made him not know how to describe his feelings. It was simply too uncomfortable.

"Hehehe..."

Countless Aoba surrounded Kaze.

Every Aoba smirked at Kaze. When such laughter entered Kaze's ears, Kaze felt his hair stand. He could not even tremble.

...

Knock! Knock! Knock!...

Less than three minutes after Aoba send Kaze away, there was another knock on the door of his room.

"Coming!"

A bigger question popped up in Aoba's head.

'Who?'

'Why come to my room for no reason?'

'I had never encountered such a thing before!'

'Since when did Anbu's dormitory become so lively?'

Aoba immediately walked toward the door. He was not afraid of who was outside, no matter who it was, it was not too big of a deal.

Creak...

Along with the sound of a door frame rubbing, the door of Aoba's room opened.

What came into view was a tall man dressed in black. This man wore sunglasses and looked very calm.

"Brother Eaton!"

Aoba immediately recognized the identity of the man in black in front of him. It was Konohagakure Intelligence Division's Captain, Morino Eaton.

"Why are you here?"

Aoba asked doubtfully. He didn't know what day it was today, but they all came one by one.

However, compared to Kaze.

Eaton's arrival could be explained.

It could be said that after learning that Aoba forfeited in the Chunin Exams, he came over to ask why. This kind of thing was normal.

"Let's talk inside."

Eaton's expression was grave. He quickly looked around and confirmed that no one had seen him enter Aoba's room. Only then did he immediately step in. After that, he quickly closed the door and directly entered Aoba's room.

"???"

Many question marks appeared on Aoba's head. Logically speaking, Eaton did not need to be so alert. It seemed like there was something particularly important.

"Brother Eaton, what happened?" Aoba asked tentatively.

"Something very important!" Eaton nodded and sat down on the chair. He took off his sunglasses and put them aside. He stared at Aoba with a serious look in his eyes.

"What is it?" Aoba asked in a daze.

"When did you learn the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Technique?" Eaton narrowed his eyes and stared at Aoba in confusion. If Hiruzen had not told him about these things, he would not have known that Aoba had learned the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Technique. No wonder Hiruzen suspected him.

"What do you mean?" Aoba still looked stunned. There was no change in his expression, but he was thinking in his heart. He understood what went wrong but didn't realize which part of it was.

"Hokage-sama just looked for me. He said that he suspected that you were a member of the Uzumaki Clan. I have already clarified this for you. Others might not know about you, but I do. I am just curious how you learned the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Technique. You did not tell me about such a big thing. At least let me be mentally prepared!" There was a hint of helplessness in Eaton's tone. He did not blame Aoba, but when he said these words, he felt a little uncomfortable about being kept in the dark.

"You are talking about the Soul Imprisonment Seal I used when I was treating Danzo-sama, right?" Aoba suddenly put on an expression of realization. He immediately analyzed the part of the problem from the information that Eaton revealed.

"I don't know what the seal is. Why don't you tell me what happened?" Eaton said rather helplessly. Now that he was sandwiched in the middle, he felt very distressed. On one hand, he represented the future of the village, Aoba, and on the other, he represented the current Hokage of the village, Hiruzen. If he didn't think that Hiruzen couldn't sit in the position of the Hokage for a long time and side with a team in advance, he would have already said it when Hiruzen asked.

"The Soul Imprisonment Seal is the seal of the Uzumaki clan. I learned it from the book about seals that Minato gave me. This seal can imprison the souls in an area for a period of time. Even if the person died, the soul will not immediately go to the Pure Land. I was worried that something might happen while treating Danzo-sama's injuries, so I used this Soul Imprisonment Seal. The purpose is to add a layer of insurance to Danzo-sama." Aoba answered truthfully. These words were true. They were not deliberately arranged. They were all true.

"So that's how it is!" Eaton understood Aoba's words. After that, he asked another question, "Aoba, you said that Minato gave you a book about seals, how could he have it?"

"Brother Eaton, are you stupid? Minato's girlfriend, Kushina, is a member of the Uzumaki Clan. Is it strange that he has the Uzumaki Clan's book about seals?" Aoba said with a smile.

"It's not strange! It's not strange at all! So it's like this! I knew you were fine!" Eaton slowly let out a sigh of relief. Although he came here to find an explanation and wanted to ask Aoba what was going on, it would be a lie if he said that he was not worried at all. After seeing Hiruzen's appearance, it was difficult for his heart to not waver a bit. Now, he could finally relax his hanging heart.

"Brother Eaton, did you come to find me for this matter?" Aoba stared at Eaton. He had already realized that Eaton was a breakthrough in his identity as a mysterious ninja. He did not say it today, but he might not say it in the future. Even if he did not take the initiative to say it, once he was caught, they might read his memories because interrogation was not enough, and it would be a problem.

"Um... No... No... There is something else..."

Eaton hesitated for a moment. He also felt that it couldn't end just like this. Otherwise, it would appear that he didn't trust Aoba too much.

For a moment.

He immediately put away his mood.

The expression on his face changed from helpless to serious.

"I heard that you forfeited from the Chunin Exams. Can you give me an explanation?" Eaton entered the state of Konohagakure Intelligence Division Captain in one second. Just one question, and he had the feeling of being interrogated.

"Hahahahaha..."

After hearing Eaton's words, Aoba immediately laughed out loud. He knew that Eaton would ask this question, and he also knew that Fugaku would also ask this. It was just that Eaton asked it earlier.

As a result...

He had already prepared an answer.

He was waiting for Eaton to ask this.

"Brother Eaton, listen to me. I have never told them the real reason and I will never tell anyone else in the future. Only you will know the real reason."

Before Aoba get to the point, he flattered him first. After all, it was always necessary to make people happy before fooling around in such a matter.

Sure enough.

The lines on Eaton's face became much softer.

Aoba knew it!

Eaton cared a lot about being first!

And he also cared about the "only" feeling.

After Aoba had paved the way here, he was ready to get to the point. He immediately took out a notebook from the ninja pouch at his waist and handed it to Eaton.

"Brother Eaton, to tell you the truth, I was waiting for the end of Chunin Exams in the Forest of Death for a few days. I stood at the entrance of the tower and looked at the different states and expressions of the participant participating in the exam. I was inspired and thought about how to write the new story!" Aoba said seriously.

"A new story?" Eaton widened his eyes. He loved books. Recently, he had read almost only Teacher Bai's stories. He was already a little tired of it and wanted to see more new stories. However, these stories were not so easy to come out. Even the authors needed inspiration. It was not as easy as farming.

"Brother Eaton, you can take a look. This is the beginning of the new story. This time, my inspiration was very profound. After I came back, I wrote it directly. I thought that if I continue to participate in Chunin Exams, I might miss this inspiration." Aoba said seriously. The explanation he gave Eaton was to start from the new book. Eaton was a person who liked books, so this explanation must be very reasonable.

"This... This... Aoba, you gave up on the Chunin Exams in order to write a new story!" Eaton suddenly felt his nose sour, and he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He immediately felt that the notebook in his hand was heavy.

"The Chunin Exams is held every year. If I miss out on this inspiration, I won't be able to get it back. This is not the Teenager Binbin's story you saw before. I will finish writing that story in the near future. This is a different story. The background of the story is a future world that I imagined, and I predict it can be written into a long novel, enough for you to read for a long time!" Aoba stared at Eaton with a smile. He knew that once this story was taken out, it would become a super killer weapon. It was enough to make Eaton loyal to him. Of course, this did not mean that he would not make any preventive measures.

"I will read it now!"

Eaton took a deep breath. He suddenly realized that he had underestimated Aoba's determination to write stories. The person who could give up on the Chunin Exams to write a book was definitely unprecedented in the whole world.

Suddenly.

Eaton carefully opened the notebook in his hand and looked at the words on the title page.

"Is this title of the book?"

"So long?"

"Golden Carp Won't Stay in a Pond Forever!"

"What does this mean?" L1teraryN0v3l hosted the first appearance of this chapter at N0vel.B1n.

Eaton looked at the title and felt an unfathomable feeling in his heart. However, he did not know what it meant. He did not know what it meant at all.

Chapter 387: It's Over Without Feeling a Little Bit?

"You'll know when you take a look. As for what it means, you can only understand it when you look at it. Otherwise, it will be meaningless!"

Aoba casually waved his hand. He was still very confident in this masterpiece. After all, this was a rare long masterpiece.

Thinking back to the time when he was still in school.

Aoba had a friend who bought a thick copy of this story, then split it into many scattered pages and shared it with his classmates. This allowed him to read a few pages and immediately opened the door to a new world.

It was precisely because of the masterpiece that Aoba found a direction in the future and accumulated rich knowledge reserves. This also paved the way for him to be able to display his literary talent in the Ninja World.

Even now.

Aoba was still benefiting from the golden carp.

It could be said that he had been taught to clear up his doubts.

"Let me see..."

Eaton frowned slightly. He had seen the front part of Binbin's story that Aoba had written and felt that it was not as good as Teacher Bai's. From then on, he felt that Aoba's peak had already passed. It might be difficult to write a work like Teacher Bai in the future.

But...

This time.

Aoba's words were too profound.

He even forfeited in the Chunin Exams.

The reason was only that he was inspired and wanted to write a masterpiece. He admired such an attitude. Because of this, he still had some expectations.

Eaton sat on the chair and began to look through the notebook in his hand. He could tell from the ink that it was indeed just written not long ago, maybe just a few hours ago.

It was fresh and hot!

'Could it be that inspiration really came?'

Eaton put away his thoughts and focused his attention on the notebook. He stared at the words in the notebook and slowly read them.

Boom!!

Almost in an instant.

Eaton's head exploded. He immediately saw a new noun, airplane.

He instinctively wanted to ask Aoba what the airplane meant.

But he saw a very clear explanation behind it. It was a transportation tool that could carry people in the sky in the future world.

"Oh my god!"

Eaton couldn't help but exclaim when he saw this. He was already very shocked. What kind of imagination was this? People were flying in the sky with tools. It was unbelievable.

Immediately after.

He saw the main character of the story.

Teacher Hou, who had returned from another continent.

After that, it slowly entered the main topic.

Eaton didn't even dare to breathe. He stared at the notebook with his eyes wide open. His heart was beating wildly. Just by reading a chapter, he had already regarded it as a masterpiece that surpassed Teacher Bai.

"Aoba!"

"How did you come up with this?"

"Is Teacher Hou also the teacher of the ninja school?"

"Or does she have a more special background?"

"Who is she before that?"

Eaton could not help but ask Aoba. Sometimes, reading books was like this. An old bookworm like Eaton could already guess that this book would definitely become popular just by reading this opening chapter. There was no need to read anything else. It was a feeling of confidence.

"Don't worry, don't worry. Brother Eaton, it will be boring if I tell you the story. I will write it slowly and you can read it slowly." Aoba said with a smile.

"Aoba, you are really a genius!" Eaton couldn't help but give Aoba a thumbs up. He was sincerely impressed. To be able to write Teacher Bai, he could already become a god. Now, he wrote a Teacher Hou. How could other authors live?

"Hehehe, Brother Eaton, now you understand me. I can't stop the inspiration when it comes. I will finish writing this story as soon as possible. Don't bother me with the Chunin Exams." Aoba said to Eaton with a smile.

Now, he felt that this reason had already been established. If there were no more problems, then everything would become even simpler.

"It's worth it! It's worth it! Aoba, you are right! Chunin Exams were held every year, but if you miss this inspiration, there will be no more. You can work hard and write. I won't disturb you anymore. Leave the rest to me!" Eaton immediately stood up. He stared at the notebook in his hand and wanted to take it. However, he couldn't open his mouth. After all, the story was too short. Fortunately, Teacher Bai's story was not so greasy now, and it could still be used for a period of time.

"Goodbye, Brother Eaton." Aoba got up to send Eaton off. After living in the ninja world during this period, whether it was his own personal experience or his memory reading, he benefited a lot. He understood the importance of sticking to what he liked. Eaton liked this kind of book, so this kind of book would be regarded as a divine work by the other party. In addition to the environment of the ninja world, there is no such taboo about the things described in the book and even felt very excited after reading it.

"Don't send me, hurry up and write. I am waiting for your new update!"

Eaton made a gesture to Aoba to stop. After that, he quickly walked out of Aoba's room, closed the door with a backhand, and left the place. The primary upload of this chapter happened on N0v3l--B1n.

No one saw Eaton along the way.

After all, most of the people were still working in their respective positions. Among them, the people who were good at reading memories had been transferred away by Hiruzen. They would not come out of this place at all.

A few minutes later.

Eaton returned to his office.

He had to use Teacher Bai's story to calm himself down.

Following Eaton's long sigh of relief a few minutes later, he had already calmed down from the suffocating feeling and became abnormally calm.

"Aoba has improved again!"

"This kind of writing talent is too terrifying!"

"When he wrote Teacher Bai, it was based on the background of the ninja world. It mainly allowed us readers to focus on the plot."

"Now, Teacher Hou's background become the future world. This way, not only does he have to take into account the plot, but he also has to make up a vast future world. This is really too difficult, too difficult."

"Amazing!"

"Too Amazing!"

Eaton was not stingy with his praise for Aoba. Ever since he had seen Teacher Bai, he had thought that he would never see such a beautiful book again. Now, he had actually seen it so quickly. This speed was simply unimaginable.

It was just that...

Aoba did not hear Eaton's praise.

If he knew.

Then he would silently say in his heart that writing the "Future World" background was much simpler for him. He could take it out without any processing. The so-called ninja world background was that he had to rearrange the original story and put it under the background of the ninja world. It was more difficult.

...

After sending Eaton out, the smile on Aoba's face suddenly disappeared, and his eyes became much more serious.

"Hiruzen actually came over."

"Looks like I need to find a way."

"Mm..."

"If there really isn't a way to solve the problem..."

"Then I can only deal with the person who caused the accident!"

At this moment, Aoba thought quickly. He thought of a very useful method. In fact, there were many choices. He still had to see what kind of scene he would really encounter.

"It's time to go and see Kaze."

Aoba immediately made a series of hand seals. His fingers moved too fast and left afterimages in the air.

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique)!"

Aoba immediately used Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique). This was not Taju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique), but the most common shadow clone. There was only one, and it appeared in front of Aoba.

"I'll leave this to you."

"Write the golden carp story completely!"

"If you someone come, just do as you see fit."

"In any case, our thinking is the same."

Aoba very casually explained to this shadow clone. After that, he once again made a series of hand seals. This time, it was not the shadow clone's hand seal, but Flying Thunder God's hand seal. The moment he finished making the hand seals, his entire body was wrapped up by the chakra that contained spatial energy.

Swish!

Aoba disappeared in a flash.

At this point.

There was only Aoba's shadow clone left in his room. He picked up a pen and began to write in the book. He slightly modified the masterpiece by presenting it in the ninja world with another look.

...

The tower, first floor.

This was not the hall where the Chunin Exams were held, but the secret base that Aoba used.

At this moment.

There were thousands of Aoba's shadow clones here and they surround a person. That person had dense black lines on his body. It was a sealing technique.

"All of you, come back."

Aoba nodded to the shadow clones at the scene. He did not want to explain too much to the shadow clones here, so he simply let them return. This way, they would naturally know what exactly happened.

"Yes!"

The shadow clones on the scene all responded in unison. After that, one by one, let out "bang" sounds and disappeared.

Now, only Kaze and Aoba were left here.

Kaze widened his eyes. Right now, the only thing he could move was his eyes. It was only now that he was certain that the people here were all Aoba's clones and not people who looked very similar to Aoba.

After learning of this news.

Kaze didn't know whether he should be happy or not.

However, he still couldn't say a word. He lay on the ground and couldn't move. He was like a piece of meat on a chopping board. His fate was not in his hands at all.

This Aoba...

Something was wrong!

He must have hidden a lot of things!

Whether it was space-time ninjutsu or the shadow clone, they were not something that could be learned so easily.

Even a genius would find it difficult to master them.

Moreover, the impression that Aoba had left on everyone was that he had always been a piece of trash with a weak body.

All of a sudden.

Kaze had already started to re-examine Aoba.

"Kaze, I know that you have a lot of curiosity in your heart. However, you can continue to be curious. I have no intention of telling you these things."

Aoba walked toward Kaze step by step. In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of Kaze. He no longer had that smiling expression from before. He looked extremely serious.

"You don't need to say anything."

"You can't say anything."

"Even if you know about me, you will soon forget it. So whether you know or not is meaningless to you!"

"Besides, I am not someone who will satisfy your curiosity."

"Of course, you don't need to tell me about your matters. I will read your memories directly. Memories won't lie..."

When Aoba said the last sentence, he silently added in his heart.

'It's not people, it's the system. Memories can deceive people, but they can't deceive the Mind Reading System. This is the most awesome thing!'

What Aoba needed to do now was to tamper with Kaze's memories. This way, anyone who read Kaze's memories would only see the appearance of Aoba. This was also Kaze's modified memories.

This kind of modification was like putting a layer of membrane on the original memory.

Many people saw the membrane and did not know if it was real or if it was added by someone. They felt that what they saw was real.

In fact...

Anything was possible.

But the Mind Reading System was able to pierce through this membrane and directly display the most real thing inside for Aoba to see.

Instantly.

Aoba raised his hand to touch Kaze's head. His movements were not fast, but Kaze's body could not move at all. He could only let Aoba touch his head.

This was also the reason why Aoba did not need Kaze to explain anything.

In front of memories, everything was pale.

Aoba didn't want to know what Kaze was thinking. He just wanted to see why Kaze did it. After personally reading his memories, he would naturally understand what had happened.

Aoba touched Kaze's head.

Hum!

Aoba suddenly felt a special mysterious power in his hand.

A series of memories directly entered Aoba's mind, and the system's clear electronic prompt rang in his brain. It was another ninjutsu he had obtained before, and it was repeatedly added to his memory.

After that.

Aoba withdrew his hand and directly sat down in front of Kaze. He slowly closed his eyes and said, "Wait for me to take a look at your memories, then we can talk about the rest."

"???"

After hearing Aoba's words, a lot of question marks appeared on Kaze's head.

'This was memory reading?'

'Why is it so fast?'

'I hadn't even felt anything!'

'It's over without feeling a little?'

This wasn't the case in Kaze's memory. He still remembered that when he worked in Root, it would still take some time.

Chapter 388: The Experiment of Implanting Memory

There were many question marks on Kaze's head. His eyes were filled with confusion as he looked at Aoba. However, his body had been sealed, and he could not even speak at all. Even though he was puzzled, he still could not help but think about it.

Aoba stood in front of him.

His eyes were tightly shut.

It was impossible to tell what he was doing.

As time passed, after about ten minutes, Aoba slowly opened his eyes, and a clear light flashed.

"So that's how it is."

Aoba nodded silently. According to Kaze's memories, it was not that this person was unwilling to be together with Saki and Rin, but he really wanted to be with these two people.

If he was not wrong

This was Saki's big lapdog.

He licked until he had nothing.

Although Kaze knew all of Saki's shortcomings, he still didn't think much of it. He even felt that she had a very special characteristic.

Not long ago.

When Kaze learned that he was going to form a team with Saki and Rin to participate in the Chunin Exams, there was a period of time when he was incomparably upset.

He was not strong.

He was only good at reading memories.

He was not good in other aspects.

He was not sure that he could pass the exam with Saki and Rin.

But because he was already a Root ninja, he did not need to participate in the Chunin Exams. As long as he completed Root's mission, everything was fine. The rest of the things were not important. He had once made up his mind to only put Saki in his heart.

However.

The change came very quickly.

The boss of Root, Shimura Danzo, was injured and could not return to Root for a short period of time. For a moment, the operation of Root stopped.

One had to know.

Almost all the orders from Root come to Danzo.

Without Danzo's orders, these Root ninjas were equivalent to headless chickens, running around completely without any order at all.

This was the advantage of Root, and also the weakness of Root.

The advantage was that the power was concentrated entirely in Danzo's hands. This private army belonged to Danzo, but it was excessively concentrated, causing Root to become idle without Danzo's instructions.

In the first few days, Orochimaru was in charge of Root. Although there was nothing much to do, it was not that idle.

Not long after.

Orochimaru was transferred by Hiruzen to take charge of the Chunin Exams' third round.

As a result.

Root could be said to be a group of dragons without a leader and no longer had anything to look at. Because of this, Kaze once again placed his attention on Saki. Half a day ago, he received a letter from Saki to check Aoba's memory.

And then there was this scene.

After reading Kaze's recent memories, Aoba had already seen the development of this kind of thing very clearly.

"So it was Saki's letter brought back by an eliminated participant. You are really willing to take risks for a woman. This is not good quality."

Aoba said indifferently.

He looked down at Kaze, who had been sealed by him and could not move at all. His eyes had changed slightly.

"Kaze."

"Do you know?"

"I would rather it be you are dissatisfied with me."

"But you are actually doing it for a woman."

"Throughout the ages, there have been very few people who fall because of women."

Aoba shook his head indifferently. In his opinion, this was something that was not worth it. He was not to say that it was not good to be angry for women, but his principle would not let him break his style of doing things because of these messy things.

Just like this Kaze in front of him.

If Saki was bullied and he went to find an explanation, then at least he could be considered a man.

But being used as a gun by a woman

And he was willing to endure it.

This was a big problem.

It was very easy to get himself into a lot of unnecessary trouble. Just like Kaze's current situation, he could have avoided this.

"I know you must have something to refute me. You can also say many reasons, but I won't come to discuss them with you. You still have no right to speak. In the end, I just want to say that even if you read my memory, Saki will not look at you differently. Instead, you would be placed in an awkward situation because of this matter."

After Aoba finished speaking, he reached out again and gently patted Kaze on the head.

Hum!

A stream of chakra surged out from Aoba's hand and directly rushed into Kaze's brain. Instantly, a mysterious power controlled Kaze's brain.

In a split second.

Kaze widened his eyes.

His gaze was fixed on the picture in front of him. After that, his consciousness dissipated and he directly fainted. n(0)vel(b)(j)(n) was the first platform to present this chapter.

"Sleep well. After you wake up, don't be a lapdog anymore. Just stay in Root in peace."

Aoba said indifferently.

As Aoba's voice rang out.

A series of memory images began to appear in his mind.

These images were weaved by him.

Now, he wanted to implant these memories into Kaze's brain and make him believe that this was true.

Not long ago, Aoba felt that he had grasped such an ability. It was just that he had not had the time to practice it. Now that Kaze had come to his door, he could try it out.

All of a sudden.

One scene after another began to play in Kaze's head, replacing the original memories.

In these memories.

Kaze successfully stun Aoba and began to read Aoba's memories.

He found out that there was no secret here.

When Aoba entered the first round of Chunin Exams, he went there with the answer.

This was shown in Aoba's memory.

There would definitely be no problem!

In the second round, after Saki's reminder, they found the Scroll of Heaven and smoothly headed toward the tower.

Such a memory.

It was completely in line with the letter that Saki gave him.

However.

There was more information here.

Before Chunin Exams, Saki found the owner of this memory, Aoba. He took a paper full of answers and gave it to Aoba.

"Aoba, this is the answer to the Chunin Exam's first round, written exam. Now you memorize it and take it as you found it through the Yamanaka clan's secret technique. Then pass the answer to Rin and me through the Yamanaka clan's secret technique." Saki said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry." Aoba nodded and took the paper.

The memory of another place appeared.

This was the forest where Chunin Exams were held.

It was the place where Saki stopped to question Aoba. Her expression changed, her tone changed, and the content also changed.

"Aoba, if we reach the tower now, we will break the Chunin Exams second round record. Will it be too high-profile?" Saki asked hypocritically. From her expression, it could be seen that she wanted to break the record, but she did not want to be discovered.

"Yes, a little." Aoba nodded.

"Do you have any ideas?" Saki asked again.

"Why don't we go in later?" Aoba gave an answer that Saki did not want to get.

"Forget it, let me think about it. Let's just go in directly. If Big Brother Shikaku and the others ask about it, you can directly forfeit and take all the responsibilities. I will also try my best to push it on you, but I would have wronged you." Saki said with a pitiful look.

"I won't feel wrong. I won't feel wrong at all. After I forfeit, just give me a few bags of tea leaves." Aoba waved his hands and put on a look of willingness.

At this point.

This memory was over.

Aoba was not worried that this memory would be suspected by Kaze. Even if anyone in the ninja world thought it was fake, Kaze would not think so because that was what Kaze got by himself.

Aoba took reference from Kaze's expression and posture in the memories he got, which was enough to give Kaze a very strong sense of replacement.

After all these memories were processed.

Aoba withdrew his hand. His forehead was covered with sweat. This process consumed a lot of chakras so even he felt that the consumption was a bit big. Fortunately, he recovered very quickly, and it would not cause too much of an impact.

"Now, let's check it."

After Aoba stopped, he raised his right hand again and touched Kaze's forehead. However, this time, he was not using the Mind Reading System to read his memories, but using Yamanaka Clan's secret technique.

He wanted to personally test the effect of implanting memories.

After all, he had only implanted a little idea in the past, and there was not a complete picture.

If this experiment was successful

That would be an extremely powerful genjutsu.

However, the way this genjutsu was released was different from normal genjutsu. This was not only to deceive the five senses but also to create memories.

Suddenly.

A chakra fluctuation appeared on Aoba's hand. He had already started to use the Yamanaka clan's mind-reading secret technique.

Soon.

The scene appeared.

It was the memory that Aoba had planted in Kaze's brain.

"There is no problem with the mind-reading secret technique!"

Aoba nodded. If there was no problem, it was enough to make it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake. It could be announced that the experiment was successful.

"We should go back."

Aoba knew that he could not play with Kaze for too long. After all, Kaze would have a big problem getting used to it. After that, he grabbed Kaze's shoulder and instantly used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) to teleport into the Anbu's dormitory. The two figures flashed and disappeared directly.

Swish! Swish!

Two figures appeared at the same time in Aoba's room.

Bang!

When Aoba's shadow clone saw that Aoba's main body had returned with Kaze, he directly put down the pen in his hand. After that, he let out an explosive sound and directly disappeared, returning to Aoba's body.

Aoba first arranged Kaze in a position pretending to be in an accidental coma, and then he followed suit on the ground.

After Aoba laid down.

His mind moved and Kaze's restrain was released.

The two of them lay on the ground together and lasted for more than ten minutes.

"Huh?"

Kaze was the first to make whisper. He slowly opened his eyes and immediately saw Aoba lying on the ground not far away. His pupils slightly shrank.

"Fortunately, it was a dream."

Kaze muttered to himself with lingering fear. He had a nightmare just now. He dreamed that there was Aoba everywhere, densely packed. Those Aoba wanted to surround him to do multi-player exercises, causing him to hold his chrysanthemum tightly when he was dreaming. He did not dare to relax at all, afraid that it would give Aoba an opportunity to take advantage of him.

Kaze took a deep breath. As he inhaled, he immediately smelled the scent of the medicine in the air. It was the anesthetic that he had brought to deal with Aoba.

"I was thinking about how I could fall asleep when I read my memories. I didn't have much work recently, so I didn't consume that much energy. So it was the drug!"

"But."

"This drug is so good!"

"Hehehe!"

Kaze looked at Aoba, who was lying on the ground, unable to move and at the mercy of others. A few ideas that could still be considered punishments suddenly appeared in his mind. However, he gave up on it in a second. After all, if he did such a thing to Aoba, their clan would not let him go.

"Wait."

"This memory..."

"Does Saki want me to be a tool man?"

After a while, Kaze thought of the memory he had read, and his mind became chaotic. He looked at Aoba with a much more complicated gaze.

At this time.

He felt a lot closer to Aoba.

He felt that maybe it was because they were all tools to Saki and had a feeling of empathy. Of course, it was definitely not because of the "nightmare" earlier.

"Is this a living example?"

Even Kaze himself did not know why the obsession in his heart had become extremely loose at this time. Thinking of Saki's face, he also felt dull.

He looked at Aoba's dazed and ignorant appearance lying on the ground and didn't even know that he had been calculated as if he had met himself.

"Perhaps..."

"I am now helping Saki to confirm Aoba's matter."

"Soon, Saki will find someone else to confirm my matter."

"So many of us are sacrificing ourselves for her."

"But she only cares about herself."

"Too selfish!"

Kaze shook his head indifferently. At this moment, Saki's position in his heart had plummeted to a freezing point. This also made his face turn cold.

After that.

Kaze stood up directly.

He was about to leave Aoba's room.

Just as he reached the door of Aoba's room, he stopped. He turned around helplessly and came to Aoba, who was lying on the ground.

"Aoba, promise me, don't be a lapdog in the future!"

Kaze looked at Aoba with a hint of distress in his eyes. It was unknown whether it was Aoba or his past self. He move Aoba on the iron bed from the ground and then walked away again.

With the sound of the door closing.

Kaze had already left Aoba's room. He did not find any abnormalities in his memory. Everything was like what he had experienced personally.

Chapter 389: Onoki's Doubts

A few minutes before Kaze left, Aoba was almost certain that the former would not return, so he got up from the iron bed.

"Looks like the experiment was very successful!"

A satisfied look appeared on Aoba's face. Although he looked like he was in a coma with his eyes closed just now, his mind was completely alert and he could clearly feel all of Kaze's movements just now.

Through these actions.

Aoba could get the answer very clearly.

That was that Kaze had already completely taken what had just happened as something he had personally experienced. He did not have the feeling of having his memories tampered with at all.

This was also where Aoba feels successful.

By implanting or tampering with memories without being discovered, he could do more things in the future, turning many of the original impossible into possibilities.

For a moment.

Aoba couldn't help but look forward to it in his heart.

...

In the tower of the Forest of Death where Chunin Exams were held.

Hiruzen returned to this place at an extremely fast speed. He knew that get some results in reading the memories of the three dead Iwagakure ninjas while Eaton was obviously not someone who could be eaten in a short period of time. Thus, he chose to return here first.

"Sandaime-sama!"

When Hiruzen just walked to the entrance of the tower, he saw the two ninjas responsible for guarding the entrance. They did not leave even if the exam has ended. They still stayed here, waiting for the development of the matter.

"Has the Sensor Ninjas from the Yamanaka clan arrived?" Hiruzen looked at the two guards and asked indifferently.

"They have been in for a while." The two nodded and said.

"Okay."

Hiruzen did not say anything more. He directly walked into the tower. From the outside, it was almost impossible to see any change in his expression. However, he was very clear in his heart that he was very angry about Eaton's matter.

One must know...

He was the Hokage!

The person with the highest authority in the whole Konohagakure!

Whether it was the First Hokage Senju Hashirama, who founded the village and was loved by others, or Senju Tobirana, who was powerful but had been in power for a short time, the two Hokages in front of him had a good time, but why he be in such a sorry state?

The position of Hokage handed down by the Second Hokage to him has to be snatched, otherwise, it may be taken away by Uchiha Kagami.

Now, he had been in position for more than ten years.

However, various divisions or departments, large and small, still did not fully listen to his orders.

In addition, Hatake Sakumo and Namikaze Minato, who had risen to fame, had gradually gained the hearts of some people in the village and had indirectly shaken his position as the Hokage.

After entering the tower, Hiruzen directly walked to the second floor. In this empty corridor, he slowly clenched his fists tightly.

Just as Hiruzen entered the second floor, a familiar figure appeared in his sight.

It was also at this time.

Hiruzen loosened his tightly clenched hand.

His entire image had returned to normal.

"Shikaku, how is it inside?" Hiruzen looked at the person in front of him. It was his newest Hokage Building Advisor, Nara Shikaku.

"It has been a while. The result should be coming out soon." Shikaku said in a low voice. He had been staying here to preside over the overall situation. Just half an hour ago, the Sensory Ninjas from the Yamanaka clan had arrived and began to read the memories of the three dead Iwagakure ninjas.

"Tell me after the results are out."

Hiruzen appeared as calm as ever, but in his heart, he was already very anxious. After all, these things were not so simple. The person who did this, regardless of whether he was a ninja from the Uzumaki Clan or not, at least showed the intention of dragging Konohagakure into the water.

According to common sense.

Entering Chunin Exams' second round venue.

This meant that he had already signed the consent form. In the Forest of Death, life and death were handed to fate, and even if you died, you would not be able to say anything.

But...

However, these three Iwagakure ninjas died in a very bizarre method.

In front of almost all the participants, they were hung up in an exaggerated manner.

The impact was too bad.

It was so bad that it was enough for Iwagakure to pursue this matter.

Creak~

At this time, the door of the room was pushed open. Inoichi, whose face was full of exhaustion, looked out. He first saw Shikaku, and then noticed Hiruzen not far away.

"Sandaime-sama!"

When Inoichi saw Hiruzen, he immediately stood up straight and bowed deeply. After that, he said, "The memory has been read!"

Inoichi originally wanted to inform Shikaku about this matter, but he did not expect that Hiruzen had already come, so he directly reported it to Hiruzen.

"Good!"

Hiruzen did not hesitate to enter the room directly. He could not wait to know what was going on.

...

Aoba still stayed in the Anbu's dormitory. He did not go out directly. He waited here for a while, but still did not see Kaze return. He was completely sure that the matter of implanting the memory was complete.

After that.

Aoba formed a hand seal and used Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique). He directly left a shadow clone in the room to squat here in his place.

"Continue writing."

Aoba said to the shadow clone. After he finished speaking, his consciousness immediately connected to the Flying Thunder God Formula in the tower, and he disappeared in a flash.

After Aoba arrive at the tower, he immediately made another hand seal.

"Taju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique)!"

With a thought, dense chakra surged up from his body, and then a thousand shadow clones directly appeared in the tower.

"Puppet Technique."

Aoba lightly spat out these words, clearly expressing the project he wanted to train. Now, the Third Ninja World War had completely erupted. If there was no accident, then what happened in the Chunin Exams was enough to involve Konohagakure.

Now, the puppet technique had become much more important.

"Yes!"

These shadow clones responded in unison. After that, each picked up the puppets on the ground and began to enter the training state.

After everything settled down here, Aoba's figure flashed again and disappeared directly.

...

Seven days later. n(0)vel(b)(j)(n) was the first platform to present this chapter.

Iwagakure.

In the Tsuchikage Office.

Onoki looked at the words written on the scroll and his face turned cold, but there were traces of a smile on his lips.

"Interesting!"

"Really interesting!"

"I haven't done anything yet..."

"Sarutobi Hiruzen, you are the first to strike!"

"But..."

"This will give me a better reason!"

Oniki immediately put away the smile on his face, slowly cleared his throat, and then shouted in the direction of the door.

"Someone come!"

Onoki's voice was full of anger as if he had encountered something extremely dissatisfying.

Step, step, step, step...

Along with the sound of footsteps, Iwagakure's ninjas came over. They all half-knelt here, no one dared to look up at Onoki's face. After all, they could tell from his tone that he was angry. They had not seen him so angry for a long time.

"I just received a report from the front line. At the same time, I received an apology letter from the Hokage. Our Iwagakure team that joined Konohagakure to participate in the Chunin Exams died and was hung up high in front of all the participants!"

Onoki finished his words in a very angry tone. When he said this, his tone obviously paused, and he did not show anything at all.

Only...

The Iwagakure ninjas here lowered their heads even deeper.

They didn't dare to bear their Tsushikage's anger, so it was better to just stay quiet.

"If I endure this kind of thing, then our Iwagakure's position in the ninja world will be gone. Now, we will immediately gather a ninja troop and attack Konohagakure!"

Onoki said to these Iwagakure ninjas.

He had wanted to issue this order for a long time.

It was just that there had never been such a chance.

At the beginning of the Third Ninja World War, he and his Iwagakure looked at this matter from the perspective of a bystander. They did not participate in this matter at first moment but wanted to see the situation here more deeply.

Only...

The situation slowly changed.

Even he could not explain why.

The original situation was that Kumogakure and Sunagakure attacked Konohagakure together. Kirigakure stood behind Kumogakure. This was originally a situation where Konohagakure was surrounded by enemies.

But...

Things had changed too quickly.

After Sunagakure retreated, they found that their village had been attacked by Amegakure. Then, they did not care about Konohagakure. Instead, they fought with Amegakure.

Kumogakure's matter was even more strange. Even the Raikage had personally gone to the battlefield, but the matter was simply outrageous.

Not only did it not cause a lose-lose situation, but it could also be said that it had ended hastily. And after returning, Kumogakure encountered Kirigakure's sudden betrayal.

It was precisely because of this change.

Onoki decided to attack Kumogakure and tried his best to get as much benefit as possible.

However.

After fighting for a while.

Onoki found something strange.

The beginning of the Third Ninja World War and the trigger of everything, Konohagakure, was as if nothing had happened. They were not affected by the war at all. It was like an invisible hand was controlling the situation, blurring everything.

It was precisely because of this reason.

Onoki decided to drag Konohagakure into the water.

The Four Major Ninja Village was fighting, and even Amegakure was pulled in. Why was Konohagakure so quiet as if nothing happened?

Since the other villages were busy with their own affairs, there was no reason and no free time to attack Konohagakure, then this heavy responsibility would be handed over to Iwagakure.

Onoki had been looking for a reason to attack Konohagakure recently, which was why there was the Chunin Exams matter. However, he did not expect that before he arrived to make trouble, something happened to the Iwagakure ninjas he sent.

This was simply a gift from heaven!

Onoki didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment. Of course, he had to show his anger.

"Yes!"

The Iwagakure ninjas here all responded. They already knew that if Tsushikage said so, then they must get ready to attack Konohagakure.

"Tsuchikage-sama, we are currently fighting with Kumogakure now. If we attack Konohagakure now, will the battlefield become too broad?" One of Iwagakure's ninjas asked in confusion.

"It will not be a problem." Onoki shook his head and said, "Kumogakure has Kirigakure there. They won't be able to spare some energy for a while. You just have to do as I say."

"Yes!"

The ninjas responded again. After that, they retreated one by one, getting ready to attack Konohagakure.

After a while.

Onoki was the only one left in the office.

Onoki's feet rose into the air and floated to the office window. Looking out through the window, he saw that Iwagakure's ninjas were already getting busy.

"But the Kirigakure that I just mentioned is a bit strange..."

Onoki muttered to himself. He had discovered such a problem a long time ago, which made him a little confused, but he couldn't help but think about it.

"Kirigakure has always been like Kumogakure's vassal and has a close relationship with Kumogakure. Logically speaking, such a Ninja War should have been fought side by side with Kumogakure. Why did they suddenly fight with Kumogakure?"

"It's not just a problem..."

"Kirigakure seems to have a deep hatred for Kumogakure..."

"Kirigakure was really using their main force in the Kumogakure-Kirkigakure's war!"

Onoki sighed. He had seen too many reports from Kumogakure-Kirkigakure's war. Kirigakure had used almost all their strength to fight with Kumogakure. Kirigakure was not testing them or pulling them. They were fighting desperately.

Especially the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, who were active on the battlefields. Ordinary Jonin was not their match at all.

"I don't know if there is such a person behind it..."

Onoki muttered silently. He was standing from the Tsuchikage's perspective and saw things from a higher position. Others saw that Kirigakure attacked Kumogakure, but in his eyes, Kumogakure and Kirigakure were like two people.

One of them has been following the other, and the relationship seemed very close and good.

But...

It was this kind of person stab you behind your back.

"I have to be on guard!"

Onoki was also a relatively cautious person. He learned a lot of principles and experience from the matter between Kumogakure and Kirigakure.

"It seems that I need to be cautious in forming an alliance in the future. Kirigakure may not be sincere in forming an alliance with Kumogakure from the beginning but is always preparing for a backstab!"

Chapter 390: I'm Thinking About What to Write!

Another three days passed.

During this period of time, Aoba did not go anywhere. Many shadow clones were practicing puppet techniques in the tower, and the story of Teacher Hou was written in the dormitory by the shadow clone.

Early in the morning.

Aoba got up from the iron bed. He did not continue to repeat what happened a few days ago. Instead, he walked out of Anbu's dormitory with his original identity.

He wanted to see Konohagakure's situation.

It had been a while since Chunin Exams' second round was held. There was a time interval between the second and third rounds of the exam. Now it was in this time interval.

Aoba felt that it was a little too quiet recently.

The death of three Iwagakure ninjas should have been received by Iwagakure. But until now, there was not much of a problem. This was very strange.

Aoba walked in the direction of Ramen Ichiraku.

The place where he could get the most information was Ramen Ichiraku Noodle House. The reason why he came back after a few days was to give this matter some time to develop. Now, he felt that it was about time.

If Iwagakure doesn't say anything...

Then it means that he failed in causing trouble.

He has to think of another opportunity.

But he didn't think it would be the case. Whether it was his feeling at the beginning or the things that appeared in Iwagakure ninja's memory, they all showed some problems. Iwagakure took the initiative to come to Konohagakure to cause trouble.

Aoba needed to involve Konohagakure in the Ninja World War. Coincidentally Iwagakure appeared and sent people to participate in Konohagakure's Chunin Exams. Moreover, Iwagakure also had many plans in their mind. This was an opportunity for Aoba.

So.

Aoba killed the three Iwagakure ninjas and hung them on the tower where Chunin Exams were held.

This made Iwagakure reason to trouble Konohagakure become even better.

This also gave Iwagakure an opportunity.

In this matter.

Aoba and Iwagakure could be said to be helping each other to get what they needed.

Therefore.

Aoba felt that Iwagakure would not let go of this opportunity. After waiting for a few days, there would definitely be news.

Not long after.

Aoba arrive at Ramen Ichiraku, lifted the curtain, and walked in. It was still early at this time, and there was no guest inside the Noodle House.

"Brother Teuchi!"

After entering the door, Aoba directly greeted Teuchi, and a smile appeared on his face.

Aoba's gaze fell on Teuchi. Teuchi was currently kneading dough. After hearing Aoba's voice, he immediately turned to look at Aoba.

Instantly.

The corners of Teuchi's mouth slightly curled up, revealing a smile. His eyes also narrowed into a slit.

"Aoba, you're here. Don't be idle. Help me knead the dough."

Teuchi was not polite to Aoba at all. He directly called Aoba over. After all, this was not the first time that he let Aoba knead the dough.

As the saying goes!

There would always be a second time!

"Okay!"

Aoba did not care about this at all. He directly rolled up his sleeves, went to the basin to wash his hands, put on the apron Teuchi handed over, and walked over.

"Brother Teuchi, has something happened in the village recently?"

Aoba was already beginning to knead the dough. When he was kneading the dough, he seemed to be chatting and asked casually.

As soon as he said this.

Teuchi immediately looked at Aoba.

He just stared straight at Aoba for a few seconds.

A meaningful smile appeared on his face. After that, he shook his head and said, "Nothing has happened in the village recently."

After hearing Teuchi's words, Aoba immediately fell silent. This was not the answer he wanted, but he believed that Teuchi would never lie to him on such a matter.

He simply did not say anything more.

"But..."

At this time, Teuchi's tone changed, and the smile on his face became even more intense.

"Many things have happened outside the village."

Teuchi looked at Aoba with a smile. He had just secretly played a word game. Something had indeed happened, but it was not in the village, but outside the village.

"What is it?" Aoba was stunned for a moment. After that, he instantly reacted and immediately realized that Teuchi had already learned bad things.

"Iwagakure has declared war on Konohagakure." When Teuchi said this, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared. A small figure like him hated wars the most. Once there was a war, it would inevitably affect his ramen business.

"Is it finally here?" Aoba sighed deeply. He seemed to feel sorry, but in fact, he was relieved.

"I don't need to explain the cause of this matter. You participated in the Chunin Exams, so you should know more clearly. I don't know what exactly happened. I just heard that Iwagakure's Tsuchikage was furious because of what happened to those three participants. Now, Iwagakure's ninja has already set up an outpost at the border. The war is going to start in just a few days." Teuchi said slowly. As he spoke, he looked at Aoba. No one knew what he was thinking.

"Tsuchikage-sama actually values those three participants so much. This is really interesting!" Aoba said with a sneer. Although he knew that Onoki would definitely attack Konohagakure, this excuse was too lame. No one would think it was an excuse. However, what Iwagakure wanted from the beginning was just a reason.

"I don't know when this battle will end." Teuchi shook his head. According to his experience, this kind of world war involving many villages would continue for a few years, and it would be almost impossible to calm down.

"When Minato returns, the war will end, but I hope that we can fight a little longer before the war ends. Only then will the Ninja World realize how powerful Minato is!" Aoba said indifferently. He was very confident in Minato, not only because Minato was his good friend, but also because he had seen Minato's genius figure in anime. Unfortunately, this kind of Minato could only live in memories.

"You have so much confidence in Minato?" Teuchi looked at Aoba in surprise. He also had confidence in Minato, but after all, he was not Aoba, and he was not very clear whether the so-called Mount Myoboku was really as powerful as Aoba described. This was why there were many questions in his heart.

"Very confident!"

Aoba nodded, and a smile appeared on his face. He did not look at Teuchi, but stared at the dough in front of him that was constantly being kneaded by him, and his eyes seemed to be looking forward to the future.

"When Minato comes back, the ninja world will recognize this super genius again. Not only can you see the shadow of the Second Hokage, but you can also see some of the elegance of the First Hokage!"

Aoba's tone was very slow, and there was strong confidence in it. The original appearance of this chapter can be found at N0v3l--Biin.

This was his confidence in Minato.

Looking at the things in the comics he knew, many times in retrospect, he felt that they belonged to plot killings.

After all.

With Minato's strength.

The superb Flying Thunder God combined with the Rasengan he developed.

No matter what kind of battle, no matter how powerful the opponent was, even if he didn't want to fight, there was absolutely no problem in running.

In other words...

Whether it was Tobirama or Minato, they used the Flying Thunder God to coordinate their attacks to defeat the enemy. Only Aoba used this thing as a means of transportation, and most of the time, it was to be able to hold on and not expose his true strength.

According to the original historical trajectory.

Minato was already very powerful.

If he could perfectly grasp the Sage Mode now and control it.

In that case, his strength would rise to a new level!

According to the current ninja world, disregarding those unique existences, he was definitely an expert that could shake the ninja world.

"If you say so, then I have confidence. Then I won't panic. I just need to silently wait for Minato to return and harvest the battlefield." Teuchi still had the same questioning smile on his face. During the entire conversation, his expression did not change, and there was no panic at all.

"Don't worry, Minato will be fine." Aoba nodded. In fact, according to the current development trajectory, the Third Ninja World War had already deviated from the original historical track.

After all.

There was still a period of time before the Third Ninja World War on the original track.

At that time, the situation of the various villages was different.

The recuperation was over.

Many thoughts arose in the hearts of the various villages.

Coincidentally, the Third Kazekage mysteriously disappeared at that time, and Sunagakure was a group of dragons without a leader. This directly gave the various villages a great opportunity.

It was precisely for this reason.

Five Major Ninja Village's balance was directly broken.

However, it was different now.

The Third Kazekage was still alive. After the battle with Amegakure, both sides stopped at the same time. No one suffered too much loss. After all, there were other forces eyeing them covetously. No one dared to take the risk easily.

Except for this side.

Iwagakure and Kumogakure did not fight too fiercely.

All of them were still within the acceptable range.

Only Kirigakure was willing to risk their lives. Thinking about it, it was a clear stream in this great war. If everyone did not take it seriously, then what was the point of fighting?

Overall.

There was a very important reason.

That was balance.

Now that the forces of the ninja world were in a relatively balanced situation, all the friction was a small conflict with scruples, and no one could go all out.

This also ignited the flames of the so-called Third Ninja World War. Still, it failed to arouse substantial repercussions resulting in not many people dying in each village, and the lives of the people in the villages were relatively comfortable.

...

Half a day later.

One after another, guests began to enter Ramen Ichiraku's store.

Aoba also finished a bowl of ramen before leaving the Noodle House.

Although he didn't pay for this bowl of ramen, he didn't feel like he had paid for nothing. Instead, he felt like he had come here to work, and the reward was just a bowl of ramen.

This was a loss!

Aoba laughed at himself jokingly.

However.

This thought quickly disappeared.

Aoba slowly walked toward the direction of Anbu's dormitory. Right now, he had already begun to plan how to muddy the waters of this ninja world in his mind.

As the saying goes!

Heroes appear in troubled times!

If it was a peaceful era, then there was no way that kind of destined person would appear. The current ninja world was not chaotic enough, and the situation was still under the control of the Kage of the various villages.

These battles have not reached the level of bone-shattering at all.

Now, even if Minato returned, what awaited him wasn't a battlefield that was about to harvest. Especially if these matters were resolved through negotiations and other forms, then the final outcome would become meaningless.

Right now, Aoba was very clear about it.

If he wanted to let Minato have the qualifications to fight for the Hokage position at this time, then he had to do something.

He had been waiting for this opportunity all this time, and now Onoki came with this opportunity.

"Let me think about it..."

Aoba pinched his chin, constantly thinking about how to completely dismantle the forces in the ninja world.

This was not a situation that could be done casually.

He could also not make it so that when Minato came out in the end, he would not be able to end it. That would be even more embarrassing.

"Aoba!"

At this time, a voice sounded, and the tone was obviously much heavier, pulling Aoba out of his thoughts.

"Ah?!"

Aoba was stunned for a moment. Just now, he entered a more immersed state. He did not hear this person's words at all. From this tone, it seemed that it was not the first time he called him.

Immediately.

Aoba stopped in his tracks.

He looked in the direction of the voice.

When he looked over.

A man walked over. He was dressed in Konoha Military Police Force's attire. It was Uchiha Fugaku.

"Brother Fugaku!"

After seeing Fugaku, Aoba immediately greeted the latter. However, he did not have any intention of being too close to him. After the Chunin Exams matter, he felt that Fugaku was a big pit.

No wonder the Second Hokage had such a big prejudice against the Uchiha!

As long as the people of this clan opened their Mangekyo Sharingan, their thinking could not be inferred with common sense. There was almost no normal person.

Aoba originally thought that Fugaku was a bit more normal, but when he re-examined him, it was still very abnormal.

"What are you thinking about? I called you a few times, but you didn't respond. What's wrong? Is there something on your mind?" Fugaku was extremely enthusiastic which was the Uchiha clan characteristic of those they deem important.

"No..."

"I am... um..."

"How should I put it..."

Aoba's mind quickly turned, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He stared at the Fugaku and slowly spoke.

"I'm thinking about what to write!"

Chapter 391: Because Inspiration Come!

"???"

When Fugaku heard Aoba's words, he immediately slowed down. The corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably, and his expression instantly became ugly.

He actually still wants to write!

Just thinking about it made Fugaku feel a headache.

In the past few days, people kept coming to him and asking about "Teacher Bai of the Ninja School". This made him feel an indescribable feeling. He didn't know whether he should be happy or sad, but it was quite awkward.

After all...

When these people came to ask him, they all winked at him.

They seemed to have said something, but they did not say anything. Overall, it made him feel strange.

He had initially thought that this matter would slowly pass, so he just needed to endure it for a while. But after hearing Aoba's words, he immediately understood this was just the beginning. In the future, the changes in his heart will become more subtle after such a long time.

"You... still want to write?"

Fugaku took a deep breath. He tried to control his expression as much as possible so that he would not look too strange. Moreover, he made his tone as probing as possible.

Aoba took in the changes in Fugaku's eyes in that instant, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up into an imperceptible arc.

'Sure enough.'

'This move was indeed useful!'

Talking about writing books now, it was effective for Eaton and Fugaku, but the effects on the two were completely opposite.

Eaton was looking forward to him writing a book, raising the matter to a very high position, so much so that sometimes it was above most things.

Fugaku, on the other hand, was completely different. In his heart, he was more afraid of him writing a book. After all, there was an author naming problem.

"Of course, I have to write!"

Aoba smiled and said, "I have already thought of the plot. The rest is to write it out. It won't be long before a new book can be published again."

For him.

It was easy to produce a novel in Ninja World

It was as if he had a treasure trove on him. Although there were subtle differences in the specific words he wrote, it did not hinder those classic works from attacking this barren Ninja World.

In the modern world, these classic works were absolutely impossible to be published. Even the authors were anonymous. But in the ninja world, it was different. The popularity of this kind of work was extremely high, and it could even become a top best-selling work.

In such an environment, Aoba also wanted to move those classic works over so that they could shine and heat up here.

"Brother Fugaku, after the new book is published, I will get you a book first..."

"Oh... no..."

"Ten books!"

"I'll give you a little more so that you can give it to someone else!"

"You can expect a storm!"

Aoba's smile was very innocent as if he had not seen through Fugaku's predicament, and there was a faint feeling of sharing with Fugaku.

"I... I thank you!"

Fugaku's face clearly darkened a lot. There were already 10,000 alpacas galloping in his heart.

'What the hell was this?!'

'I shouldn't have agreed to such an outrageous request!'

He really didn't expect that the book Aoba wrote would be so popular that he would become a celebrity. In the past, when he was on patrol in Konohagakure street, he didn't have much of a presence. Now, there were people asking for autographs.

He originally thought that this kind of thing would be diluted over time. But now, it seemed that there would be new books that would soon join up. Who can stand this?

"You're welcome. This is what I should do. By the way, Brother Fugaku, is there anything you need from me?"

Aoba asked with a smile.

He had deliberately changed the topic just now so that he could take the lead. He said what he wanted to say first, and then he could lead Fugaku by the nose.

In this way.

Fugaku would not care so much about what he would say.

It was just as Aoba expected.

The question that he say just now...

Fugaku really didn't care that much. Right now, his mind was full of Aoba writing a new book. It might be published soon. How should he live in the future? This was a big problem, a more serious problem than the one he wanted to ask.

"Hmm..."

"That..."

"I wanted to ask just now..."

"That is, you have passed the second round of the Chunin Exams!"

"But why didn't I see your name on the third round participant list?"

"Is there a problem?"

Fugaku did not directly ask why Aoba forfeited. Instead, he changed the angle and made his words more euphemistic.

If it was before.

He would not think so much. If there were any questions, he would ask directly.

But now.

He had already regarded Aoba as a friend.

The matter of abstaining from the Chunin Exams was a very serious matter to Fugaku. There must be a reason for making such a decision. He wanted to know what the reason was, but he was afraid that asking would hurt Aoba. So he changed the way he spoke.

This roundabout way of speaking could greatly take care of Aoba's feelings.

Of course.

Aoba instantly understands the meaning of those words

After all.

Fugaku's expression was already very obvious.

"It's like this. I have already forfeited so I won't be on the third round participant list." Aoba patiently explained to Fugaku. He knew that what Fugaku wanted to hear was that he had personally said that he had forfeited. After all, it was Fugaku who arranged for him to participate in the Chunin Exams. It was reasonable for him to care about his Chunin Exams.

"You actually forfeited." Fugaku had an extremely surprised expression on his face. It was as if he had just learned about this matter. As he spoke, he stared at Aoba's expression. Seeing that Aoba did not respond, he asked in a low voice, "Why?"

After asking.

Fugaku thought for a moment.

He raised his hand.

The expression on his face also became serious.

"Aoba, if it's not convenient for you to say it, it's fine if you don't say it..." Fugaku added another sentence.

"There's nothing inconvenient to say."

Aoba smiled and shook his head. His words and actions had already attracted Fugaku over.

However.

When Aoba continued.

It caused Fugaku's heart to almost collapse.

"Because inspiration came!"

Aoba still had a smile on his face. As he spoke, he kept staring into Fugaku's eyes, as if he was talking about something to be proud of.

For a moment.

Fugaku's face changed even more strangely.

He vaguely guessed something.

But he didn't dare to confirm it.

He also looked at Aoba, but his heart became even more complicated at this moment.

"That..."

"I don't quite understand..."

"What inspiration?"

The corner of Fugaku's mouth twitched, and a bitter smile appeared on his face. He had to clarify this matter so as not to have a sleepless night.

"It's the inspiration for writing a story!" Aoba said indifferently, "During the Chunin Exams, I thought of what the new story I was going to write. If I didn't hurry up and written it out, I might have forgotten about it. That would be a loss outweighs the gain. Even if I continue participating in the Chunin Exam, I might not be able to pass smoothly and become a Chunin."

"..."

After hearing Aoba's words, Fugaku suddenly fell silent. His mind go blank for a moment, and it took a full minute to recover.

This...

This was simply like a dream for Fugaku.

It was simply outrageous!

To give up on Chunin Exams just to write a book...

Was this something a normal person would do?!

The most important thing was...

If he is a bystander, and furthermore, a friend, a reader, then forget it, but the author's name would be his!

Didn't this mean that his reputation was going to rise again?

But Fugaku understood that becoming famous too quickly was not a good thing. It was not a matter of vanity. He felt more troubled about these things.

"Wait..."

"You mean..."

"In order to write this book..."

"He gave up on the Chunin Exams?!"

Fugaku couldn't help but confirm the reason again. He wanted to make sure that he did not understand it wrong. This kind of thing was really beyond his expectations.

"That's right!"

Aoba nodded without hesitation.

Now, he felt that this reason for his forfeiting could be said to be very perfect.

It was especially useful!

"Did you tell Eaton-sama that you forfeited?" Fugaku tried hard to control his voice not to fluctuate too much.

"I have already said it. He is very supportive of it." Aoba nodded and said.

"..."

Fugaku was even more speechless. He suddenly had a very strange feeling in his heart. That was, the times had changed.

People could go crazy over a book!

He did not go to the bookstore to buy the popular "Teacher Bai of the Ninja School". It was not because he had already gotten a copy before it was published, but because he was not interested in these things at all.

However, his fans who asked him for autographs learned that the book was sold out on the day it was sold in the bookstore. Although the publishing house worked overtime to print it, the supply was still short. As soon as the book arrived, it was sold out.

He didn't know when was the last time such a sensational work was sold.

However...

This book was indeed very popular.

After Fugaku went back, he deliberately took out Teacher Bai's story and read it. Even he felt that it was very good.

You should know...

Most of the novels in the ninja world were Jiraiya's style.

It was a straightforward description.

It was a competition of who wrote more meticulously, whose posture had more patterns, and there were not too many plot parts, just like those small movies on the hard drive.

However, the books that Aoba wrote were related to the plot, and the plot was used to promote the key points. The feeling brought by this was better than being so direct.

By analogy.

A movie with a plot.

Naturally, it was more popular.

"That... I have nothing else to ask... I still have to go patrol..."

Fugaku could no longer continue to chat. If they continued to chat, he would only feel even more awkward. Rather than that, it would be better to leave it at this for the time being.

"Let's talk another day!"

After Fugaku finished speaking, he did not wait for Aoba to tell and immediately left. He did not want to talk about books anymore, but Aoba's mind was obviously filled with those books.

"Goodbye, Brother Fugaku!"

Aoba waved his hand at Fugaku, and the smile on his face became even more intense. He then walked in the direction of Anbu's dormitory with satisfaction.

He was a bit speechless about Fugaku's affairs. After the Uchiha clan opened the Mangekyo Sharingan, their style of doing things became their way.

As long as they thought it was right.

Even if it was distorted.

But as long as there was little reason to support their decision.

Then everything doesn't matter.

Almost every member of the Uchiha clan who had opened Mangekyo Sharingan was like this.

In fact.

There were a few questions in Aoba's mind that wanted to ask Fugaku, but he could not say them out loud. Overall, it was strange. He felt that it was not good for him to ask it.

Therefore, he could only keep these words in his mind.

He did not say them out.

What he wanted to ask was...

It was about Orochimaru!

According to their previous "inferred" results, Orochimaru was the "true culprit" who killed Fugaku's best friend.

From Fugaku's expression, he felt that Fugaku was quite angry, but at this time, he did not see any action from Fugaku.

What was going on?

If it was before, Aoba would think that Fugaku might be busy with a lot of things. After all, Konoha Military Police Force had a lot of things to do and needed some time to make arrangements.

But now...

Fugaku was still quite idle!

He did not plan to deal with Orochimaru. In comparison, he was more concerned about his participation in Chunin Exams.

Wasn't his focus a little bit misplaced?

Aoba wanted to ask this question, but he felt that it was not good to ask it out of his mouth. However, he felt that it was time to use some methods to help Fugaku remember. After all, the Uchiha treated pain rather extremely.

After a while.

Aoba returned to Anbu's dormitory.

This period of time was still counted as his holiday. He had nothing to do, so he picked up a pen to write something. The content was some of Iwagakure's plans and arrangements... L1teraryN0v3l hosted the first appearance of this chapter at N0vel.B1n.

Chapter 392: It Was Time to Go to the Battlefield

Unknowingly, seven days had passed.

During this period of time.

Aoba had always kept a shadow clone in the Anbu's dormitory, writing Teacher Hou's story. His main body and some other shadow clones were in the tower carrying training.

For the past few days, Eaton had not come to look for him. He did not know if it was because he was afraid of disturbing his rest, but it gave him a lot of free time. He did not have to go to work and enjoyed a rare leisure time.

One day, early morning.

Knock Knock Knock...

A series of knocks sounded at the door of Aoba's room, causing Aoba's shadow clone, who was writing inside, to stop what he was doing.

"Coming!"

Aoba's shadow clone immediately replied. He put down the pen, walked toward the door, and opened it.

As the door opened.

Aoba's shadow clone immediately saw Eaton standing at the door waiting for him, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Brother Eaton, why are you here? Come in quickly!"

Aoba's shadow clone immediately opened up a path. He still had a smile on his face as he gestured for Eaton to come in.

Eaton nodded and walked in. He did not say anything during the entire process, but his expression was very silent.

Aoba's shadow clone immediately poured a cup of water for Eaton and placed it in front of him. From Eaton's expression, he could tell that there was something wrong.

"Brother Eaton, you came a little early. If it was one more night, this new book might have already been finished." Aoba said with a smile.

Now he had found a way to chat with Eaton.

If something happened!

As long as he talks about the book.

Then this matter would most likely not be a problem.

When Aoba was speaking, he had been staring into Eaton's eyes. He wanted to see some clues from the latter's expression and eyes.

Eaton glanced at Aoba and did not say anything. He suddenly picked up the water that was placed on the table, lifted it up, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Aoba!"

"You haven't gone out during this period of time. You probably don't know yet!"

"Iwagakure is calling!"

"Now we are in a bit of trouble!"

"Even if we are Konohagakure Intelligence Division's ninjas, we might have to go to the battlefield. I came here to tell you this because I hope that you will be mentally prepared..."

Eaton had been worrying about this matter for the past few days. It was not a big deal for him to go to the battlefield. After all, this was not his first time going to the battlefield, and it would definitely not be the last time.

But...

There was a very important problem here!

That was Aoba!

Although Aoba's body had already been cured by Tsunade, to Eaton, he was still not that strong.

If he went to the battlefield, he would be in danger of death.

If something unexpected happened.

Not only was he unable to explain to Tsunade, but he was also afraid that there would be no novels to read in the future.

"This matter..."

Aoba nodded silently. He was indeed unwilling to go to the battlefield. This had nothing to do with strength. He could fight, but he was more willing to fight for himself, not for the village.

Perhaps...

This was the biggest difference between him and the ninjas in the village!

The will of fire had never brainwashed him. His thoughts were still very selfish. He was not a ninja world resident and did not have a strong sense of belonging. Therefore, he was not that keen on fighting for the village.

"Does Brother Eaton have any ideas?"

Aoba asked lightly. He did not seem to be too flustered. This kind of thing would not cause him to panic. After all, other than Eaton, there was another bigger person behind him. That was Shimura Danzo, who had been controlled by him.

Right now, he was just asking and wanted to let Eaton a chance to show off.

After saying this.

Aoba stared at Eaton.

He wanted to hear what this person was thinking.

After all, for Eaton to come here to look for him, it was not like he had no idea at all and just directly came over to say that he might go to the battlefield.

That was completely unnecessary.

Eaton did not need to come here alone. He could just directly announce it to Konohagakure Intelligence Division.

"Sigh..."

Eaton sighed heavily. His face was gloomy and filled with helplessness.

"Aoba, you understand what I mean. In the previous battlefield, I did not bring you along. Instead, I transferred you to interrogate the people in the village. This also contributed to the appearance of a person like the cat-faced demon. Therefore, you know my position and attitude."

Eaton expressed his opinion helplessly. After he said this, Aoba already roughly understood what Eaton meant.

That was...

There was no way! The original appearance of this chapter can be found at N0v3l--Biin.

Eaton really came here to tell him that he had no way at all. This was also quite interesting.

"I understand." Aoba nodded and said.

"Aoba, we, Konohagakure Intelligence Division, may all go this time. I will arrange for you to stay by my side. This way, I will personally protect your safety." Eaton said in a deep voice.

"If all of Konohagakure Intelligence Division goes, how can we maintain the normal operation of the village?" Aoba was stunned for a moment and asked. Moreover, from Eaton's words, he understood that Iwagakure's lineup this time should be quite big, so much so that even Konohagakure Intelligence Division's ninjas were used.

"This time, it is unusual. Sandaime-sama means that we should first overcome the crisis that comes from Iwagakure. We will talk about the village later. Otherwise, once we lose the war, even if we maintain the operation of the village, it will be meaningless." Eaton explained. These words were not made up by him but by Hiruzen himself.

"I understand." Aoba nodded again. He could hear that this was indeed something that Hiruzen could do. It could be said to be a sign of extreme performance.

Hiruzen didn't want to lose.

He didn't want to lose his Hokage position.

Therefore.

If he could avoid war through compromise, he would not hesitate to choose to avoid it.

But...

Once the war was inevitable.

Then Hiruzen would go all out and send out all the power he could mobilize. No matter who died in the war, it would be no problem for him as long as it was not him.

It was just like in the Third Ninja World War in the original history.

Ninjas who had just graduated from the Ninja School, no matter how old they were, would immediately go to the battlefield and contribute their strength and lives to the village.

"Aoba, I came here today to inform you in advance. I tried my best to fight for it, but it didn't have any effect. I hope you don't misunderstand." Eaton explained to Aoba. He had indeed tried his best to fight for it, but Hiruzen's intention was obvious. That was, all of the Konohagakure Intelligence Division personnel had to fight, so he had no other way.

"I understand." Aoba nodded and said.

"I'm relieved that you can understand. I hope you don't misunderstand. If you can't write a book, just put it aside. When we go to the front line, we need to put all our energy into the field. Otherwise, if we are not careful, we may lose our lives." Eaton warned. He did not want anything to happen to Aoba, not only because of Tsunade but also because of the novels that Aoba would write in the future.

"I understand." Aoba nodded repeatedly, indicating that he understood such a thing.

"Then there is nothing else. I will go first. You should be mentally prepared. The matter has not been decided yet, but it is basically very difficult to turn the situation around." After Eaton finished speaking, he got up and walked toward the door. He had already said what he should not say. Now, Aoba had already expressed his understanding. Whether it was true understanding from the bottom of his heart or the courtesy from his mouth, at least such words have been said.

"Brother Eaton, take care!"

Aoba sent Eaton to the door, then slowly closed the door.

After closing the door.

He stay still for a period of time before he moved.

It was because he was afraid that Eaton would come back.

About five minutes later.

Aoba's shadow clone was almost sure that Eaton would not come back so he immediately removed himself and disappeared.

On the other side.

Aoba was sitting on the watchtower. He was looking at the scene of the wind blowing through the trees. He seemed to be in a daze. It was unknown what he was thinking.

Suddenly.

A thought appeared in his mind.

It was the shadow clone in the dormitory who brought back what he had experienced after canceling himself and sending the information about the recent matter.

A moment later.

Aoba slowly let out a sigh of relief.

"Looks like Iwagakure's goal isn't small!"

Aoba's gaze was still fixed on the trees in front of him. His expression didn't change at all, as if he had already realized what had happened.

"It really is similar to what I expected."

"Sunagakure is entangled with Amegakure. Both sides are restricting each other. But no one has any intention of fighting with all their strength."

"The battle between Kumogakure and Kirigakure is a bit more bitter in comparison. However, Kumogakure is strong enough. When fighting with Kirigakure, they still have other energy."

"Right now, the forces on both sides have been restricted."

"On the contrary, it has paved the way for Iwagakure to ruthlessly attack Konohagakure."

"At this time..."

"There shouldn't be anyone who would dare to attack Iwagakure!"

The corners of Aoba's mouth curled up slightly. He had this thought, but it was definitely not now. After all, if he immediately attacked now, then the battle between Iwagakure and Konohagakure would end in an instant.

The battle had ended before it even started.

In that case, Hiruzen's Hokage position would be even more secure.

One must know...

Hiruzen was someone who can sit down and grow old directly, and doesn't care if he has been in power for too long.

Now, an unavoidable war was finally had been triggered.

If it was settled just like that, it would be too much of a waste.

"Should I go to the front line to take a look?"

A question mark popped up in Aoba's head. With his current strength, even if he were to go to the front line, there would be no problem for him to protect himself.

Would it be better for him to stay in Konohagakure or to go to the battlefield?

"Hmm..."

Aoba held his chin with his right hand. The answer in his mind had begun to change.

"It seems that going to the battlefield is not bad..."

"Since I came to the ninja world, I have not left Konohagakure. Now it is a chance to travel."

"And..."

"If I am at the front line, I should be able to better control the situation over there, enough to continue the war and wait for Minato to return."

"The most important thing is..."

"As long as I leave the Flying Thunder God Formula on the front line, I can return to the village from the front line at any time, and then go from the village to the front line, which is very convenient."

Aoba silently analyzed. The scale in his heart had changed. In fact, for him, who had been working in Konohagakure Intelligence Division all the time, the chance of being able to go to the battlefield was far lower than other ninjas.

If he did not go this time.

There would be no chance even if he wanted to go in the future.

Instantly.

Aoba immediately got up and walked down the tower. He knew that Eaton had come to find him. It meant that he was about to announce it. There was not much time left for him.

Not long after.

Aoba arrived at the hall on the first floor of the tower. There were thousands of shadow clones carrying out their respective training in an orderly manner.

Each of these training shadow clones was Aoba's cheat, which could improve his strength by leaps and bounds, and let him handle anything with ease.

"Return."

Aoba lightly spat out a single word.

Following the appearance of this word.

The shadow clones at the scene seemed to have sensed something, and one after another, a series of explosions rang out. Along with these sounds, these shadow clones carried strands of memories and merged into Aoba's mind.

Hum, Hum, Hum, Hum...

Aoba's brain trembled continuously because there were too many shadow clones. The amount of information brought by canceling together was too much.

This kind of thing was very outrageous.

He needed to endure it a little.

However, it was not the type that could not be endured!

After a while, Aoba slowly opened his eyes and digested all the information.

Immediately after.

Aoba quickly formed a hand seal. It was Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique).

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Two figures appeared in front of him. These three figures looked exactly the same as Aoba. They were Aoba's shadow clones.

"All of you are my clones. You all know what my arrangements are."

Aoba's gaze swept over the three shadow clones. They were all his own people, so there was no need to be polite.

"You do plan A!" Aoba pointed to the leftmost shadow clone.

"You do plan B!" Aoba pointed at the shadow clone in the middle.

"You do plan C!" Aoba's gaze finally landed on the last shadow clone.

This was the experience he had gained from his previous plans. After arranging these shadow clones into numbers/letters, they would know what they were going to do to prevent any chaos from occurring.

"Now..."

After Aoba finished arranging everything, his eyes lit up slightly. He knew Eaton would be coming over soon, so he immediately used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique).

"I am going back to Anbu's dormitory!"

Chapter 393: As Long As Konohagakure Perform Normally, They Will Definitely Lose This Battle!

When Aoba used shadow clones before, he found that it would be easy to mess up as long as there were more shadow clones. Even he himself would mess up. This also explains why Naruto sometimes messes up when there were many shadow clones.

The root of this was that there were no proper arrangements.

It was the same for Naruto.

If it was an extremely simple task, such as hundreds and thousands of shadow clones dealing with a target and continuously attacking, then it would be okay.

However, if it was a relatively more complicated tactical attack, then the more shadow clones there were, the harder it would be to control them.

There was a very simple principle here.

When each shadow clone appeared, what each shadow clone thought was the same. They did know the plan, and also knew where the shadow clone was needed, but they were not clear on which part of the shadow clone was needed.

If the number of clones was relatively small, he could freely distribute them, but there would always be some trouble if there were more.

Because of this.

Aoba found a way to improve it.

When he was planning the task, he used the method of dividing the plan and marked out which part was Plan A and which part was Plan B, in turn.

This way, after using the shadow clone.

Although these shadow clones all knew the overall plan, they could use different types of plans to determine the parts they were going to complete. To a large extent, they would avoid being flustered. This way, when the shadow clone completed the plan, it would be more efficient.

After Aoba arranged the three shadow clones assignment.

He immediately used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) and returned to Anbu's dormitory.

There was no one in his room now.

There was also a half-written book on the table.

Aoba walked over, buckled the book, put it in his pocket, and then pushed the door open and walked out of the dormitory.

Just after he walked out.

He immediately saw Anbu standing in the corridor outside the dormitory. These Anbu were not wearing masks, and their expressions were different.

Some were excited.

Some were depressed.

Obviously.

The news that they were about to go to the battlefield had already spread out. Although it had not been officially announced, everyone had already had different reactions to this matter.

Aoba did not care too much about these people.

He directly left Anbu's dormitory and walked in the direction of Ramen Ichiraku. Now he planned to chat with Teuchi and say goodbye. After all, war was relatively cruel. He had to greet the few acquaintances and friends in the village.

Aoba strolled along Konohagakure's streets.

Overall.

This place once again showed a lonely and desolate appearance.

This situation was similar to when the Third Ninja World War first erupted a few months ago. However, the flames of war did not spread to Konohagakure. The villagers gradually became less worried.

Now the situation had changed again.

The people in the village returned to their usual nervous state, afraid that the battle would reach the village.

Aoba walked all the way.

He saw the state of the villagers.

He couldn't help but sigh.

Even though Hiruzen had been in power for ten years and had done many actions to love and protect people, he had successfully bought over a large portion of the people's hearts, but it didn't make them feel completely at ease with him. Their current state was very typical of having no sense of security.

To a certain extent.

This was also Hiruzen's failure!

Soon.

Aoba arrived at Ramen Ichiraku Noodle House.

He directly lifted the curtain and walked in. After that, he sat on the right side of the seat. There was no one here now. It seemed that they were affected by the outbreak of war.

"Aoba, why are you here?" When Teuchi saw Aoba, his eyes obviously froze for a moment. Obviously, he did not expect to see Aoba at this time, which made him feel a little surprised.

"Brother Teuchi, I am here to tell you something. In the future, I will go to the battlefield." Aoba said lightly. When he said these words, he was quite emotional. He had been in the ninja world for more than a year. Now he could calmly face the matter of going to the battlefield. However, he was not willing to reveal his strength. This trip was just a trip.

"You want to go to the battlefield?" After hearing Aoba's words, Teuchi looked at Aoba deeply, and his eyes flashed with a strange light.

"Actually, it was not me who wanted to go, but the order came, and I had to go." Aoba stared at Teuchi and explained.

"In that case, is Minato coming back soon?" Teuchi had been staring at Aoba. He vaguely felt that it was not a bad thing for Aoba to go to the battlefield.

"It should be soon." Aoba nodded. He also wanted to do this. He had to give Minato a mess that no one else could clean up when he returned.

"Aoba, you have to be careful and pay attention to your safety. I don't have anything to give you, so I'll treat you to a bowl of ramen." Teuchi told Aoba.

"Thank you." Aoba nodded. He could feel the rare care from Teuchi, which made him feel that even if this was the ninja world, it was still very warm.

"Wait a moment." Teuchi looked at the boiling pot in front of him and began to prepare the ramen.

A few minutes later.

Teuchi fished out the cooked noodles, placed them in the bowl, poured the soup and other ingredients, and then handed them to Aoba.

"I added a sausage and two eggs to this bowl of ramen. I hope you can have a good meal before you leave. When you arrive at the battlefield, you have to be careful at all times and have a sense of propriety. Don't fall into the gutter!"

Teuchi handed the ramen in his hand to Aoba. After he placed it on the table, the aroma of the hot ramen spread out and instantly filled the Noodle House.

"I understand."

Aoba directly picked up the chopsticks and sent the noodles into his mouth. I have to say that the food in the ninja world was still very pleasant

Aoba casually chatted with Teuchi for a while.

After saying his goodbye, Aoba left Ramen Ichiraku and returned to the direction of Anbu's dormitory.

Just as Aoba returned to Anbu's dormitory, the ninjas there had already started to gather up.

"Aoba, hurry up. You're not here just now at the roll call!"

At this time, a ninja waved to Aoba. Aoba did not know this person, but many of the ninjas here knew his name because of Teacher Bai's story. They "mistakenly" thought that the author was Aoba, and only later found out that it was Fugaku.

"Okay."

Aoba immediately stood up. They all stood at the entrance of Anbu's dormitory, looking like they were waiting for someone to give orders.

A while later.

The white-robed Anbu appeared in everyone's sight.

This Anbu was Hokage's Anbu Captain.

Including Aoba.

Everyone was very surprised by the appearance of this person. No one had thought that this person would personally lead the team. If this person left, then what about Hokage's Anbu?

However...

Obviously, this problem was not something they should consider.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The white-robed Anbu cleared his throat and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Now that everyone is gathered here, there is a very important matter to tell you. Presumably, many of you have already received the news and are mentally prepared!" The white-robed Anbu's voice slowly sounded. His voice was not loud, but it was quiet enough to let everyone clearly hear every word he said.

For a moment.

The scene was silent.

Everyone's gaze fell on this white-robed Anbu.

"At this time, Iwagakure's army is pressing down on the border, and the ninja army has already arrived at the border of the Country of Fire!"

"Now the border is in a critical state and needs immediate support."

"I am honored to tell you..."

"We will be the first batch of ninjas to go to the battlefield!"

The white-robed Anbu paused for a moment after he said this. He seemed to want to hear the answer of the people here. After all, from what he said, being able to become the first batch of ninjas to go to the battlefield was a very lucky thing. Otherwise, you will not be able to go if you want to.

"..."

Everyone at the scene fell silent.

Even though many of them were mentally prepared to go to the battlefield, they still felt that something was wrong after hearing this.

"So..." n(0)vel(b)(j)(n) was the first platform to present this chapter.

The white-robed Anbu did not wait for the result he wanted. He immediately opened his mouth and broke the awkwardness. He looked around the crowd and continued to speak.

"Time is of the essence. Every minute is very important. I will give you twenty minutes to prepare your things. We are about to set off for the frontline."

The white-robed Anbu said to everyone in an unquestionable tone. After he finished speaking, his figure disappeared in a flash.

"Sigh..."

"Only ten minutes!"

"This is too rushed!"

"I didn't expect it!"

"Don't talk about it. Hurry up and prepare! Don't be late!"

"Okay!"

"..."

Whispers sounded and then everyone scattered. Only Aoba was still standing in place, neither fast nor slow.

He had nothing to pack.

There was almost nothing in his room.

The rest were in Madara's coffin.

It could be said that...

Aoba was a person who could leave directly.

At this time, when Aoba listened to the discussion of these people, he realized that even in the ninja world, not everyone could immediately make sacrifices at any time. There will still be some criticism before going to the battlefield.

Of course.

There was still a reason for it.

That was that the white-robed Anbu had not done his mobilization work well.

When Aoba had been in school, he always listened to the speech given by the headmaster at the opening ceremony, which was more exciting than what this white-robed Anbu had said just now.

...

Ten minutes passed quickly.

Almost everyone who had just left had returned. The white-robed Anbu was also here.

"Set off!"

The white-robed Anbu nodded to the crowd. He did not explain the specific plan and the location of the destination clearly. He only told everyone to set off, so most of the people present were in a state of confusion.

Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish...

One figure after another followed behind the white-robed Anbu, leaping toward the direction of Konohagakure's main entrance.

Aoba followed the crowd.

He silently sized up this group of people.

He did not see Eaton's figure among them. Presumably, he was on another team. The team he was in now had a total of thirty people. When it comes to specific battles, it can be divided into more than ten teams.

"No wonder Konohagakure could not withstand Iwagakure's attack!"

When Aoba saw Konohagakure ninjas rushing to the front line chaotically following behind the white-robed Anbu like dumplings, he already understood that after Hiruzen became the Hokage, he did not pay attention to military preparation.

Not to mention the modern world, just comparing the level of orderliness of the ninjas sent by the other villages in the Fourth Ninja World War, it could be seen that Konohagakure ninjas who rushed to the front line could be described as a mob.

The leader, the white robe Anbu, was not capable enough. He did not have enough experience and skills and did not establish sufficient prestige to convince his subordinates. Especially to let Hokage's Anbu Captain lead an army. This operation was like sending an inexperienced leader to the frontline to lead. It simply explains the practice of shaking the morale of the army.

Aoba did not know much about the art of war.

This was not what he was good at.

However, he had seen enough TV dramas. Even if they were just acting, they were definitely not like this.

"It seems that I am thinking too much..."

"As long as Konohagakure plays normally, we will definitely lose this battle!"

"It is inevitable for Minato to rise up in the Third Ninja World War!"

"And now I believe even more..."

"If I don't let Minato die in the Kyuubi Rampage and let Hiruzen sit on the Hokage position, Konohagakure will not become this soft and weak again!"

Aoba's line of sight swept over the ninjas. He had seen the appearance of Iwagakure ninjas in the memories of the three ninjas who participated in the Chunin Exams. At least in terms of discipline, they were well-trained!

Chapter 394: The Outrageous Third Hokage

After a while.

Aoba followed the group to Konohagakure's main entrance.

In addition to these Anbu, there was also a group of people waiting there. Among them was Eaton, who had just looked for Aoba not long ago.

"Eaton-sama!"

When Aoba saw Eaton, he immediately greeted the latter. After all, Eaton had specially come to warn him about this matter, and also said that he would accompany him and protect his safety. Therefore, in Aoba's opinion, it was necessary to say his greetings. However, he did not call Brother Eaton, but Eaton-sama. It was because he had an agreement with Eaton that he would call him brother only in private.

"Follow me. Be careful on the road. After you come out of the village, you may be in danger every moment!" Eaton said with a serious face. No matter what, he was a special Jonin. His strength was still very good, but they were about to face a Ninja War. This was not a matter of individual strength. If they were not careful, they might die here.

"Alright!"

Aoba nodded. He thought the same in his heart. He followed Eaton. If Eaton encountered any danger, he could secretly help. After all, the war was fierce. He had no confidence in these people in front of him. It could be said that they were extremely undisciplined.

These people did not look like they were going to the battlefield at all.

Judging from the expressions of everyone...

Everyone had yet to adjust their spirits because it had happened too suddenly.

All of a sudden.

Question marks popped up in Aoba's head. He was extremely puzzled by Hiruzen's arrangements.

Since they were the first troop to enter the battlefield.

Then they could be said to be the vanguard in this war!

As the saying goes.

The opening shot was vital!

Victory in the first battle can bring good news to the rear, give confidence to other ninjas participating in the battle, and give confidence to those waiting in the village.

But...

Now it looked like.

This was a bit like child's play!

"Brother Eaton..."

Aoba leaned close to Eaton's ear and lowered his voice. He said slowly in a voice that only Eaton could hear, "I don't understand why they sent us to be the vanguard. Is there no one left in the village?"

Aoba asked.

It was not because he was afraid of death.

It was because he felt that this arrangement was unreasonable.

Although it looks like an overall Anbu army, most were not for combat duties. For example, most of the Konohagakure Intelligence Division were sensor ninjas. Such ninjas were more suitable for the rear. You can't let the auxiliary support be a meat shield.

The Jonin in these ninjas were Special Jonin who stood out in some places. However, it was inevitable that their prominent part was not their combat ability. Otherwise, they would not be Special Jonin but Elite Jonin.

In Aoba's eyes, this vanguard army composed of mostly non-combat ninjas did not seem to be rushing for victory but more like rushing to die. N0v3l--B1nnn hosted the first appearance of this chapter at N0vel.B1n.

"Didn't I tell you when I was in your room?" Eaton looked around to ensure no one was staring at them before whispering.

"You didn't say it!" Aoba said with certainty. Moreover, when he was in the dormitory, he did not know that things were like this. It was completely different from the ninja war he had imagined.

"Maybe I forgot to tell you. Too many things have happened in the past few days. Listen to my explanation..." Eaton saw that there was still a little time. His face turned extremely serious. As he spoke, he still looked around and said, "Sandaime-sama suspects that a Kirigakure's spy has infiltrated the Anbu but did not find the spy, so he wants the Anbu to fight the vanguard!"

"What?!"

Aoba's eyelids trembled slightly. He roughly understood what was happening when he heard about Kirigakure's spy. According to the information that Eaton had brought over last time, it could be said that Hiruzen had already suspected him(the person who treated Danzo's injuries) as a member of the Uzumaki Clan. After reading the memories of the three Iwagakure ninjas, Satsuma Rentaro, a Kirigakure ninja, was suspected of having a connection to him.

However, there was nothing wrong with this. After all, no matter if it was the so-called member of the Uzumaki Clan or Kirigakure's Satsuma Rentaro, they were all him. Hiruzen suspicions were correct.

But...

Judging from the current situation.

Aoba could easily deduce that Hiruzen suspected that Satsuma Rentaro was a member of the Uzumaki Clan in disguise. This member of the Uzumaki Clan was someone that Eaton knew and thus deduced that it might have something to do with the Anbu.

Theoretically, there was no problem with these deductions.

The problem was...

There was no need to mobilize so many Anbu, right?!

This thing...

Aoba felt like cursing in his heart. He had originally thought it was Danzo's exclusive right to kill by mistake rather than let go, but now it seemed that Hiruzen was even worse!

This kind of decision of suspecting that there was a member of the Uzumaki Clan in Anbu, and pushing the entire Anbu to death, made Aoba speechless. Hiruzen was much more sinister than he had imagined. This was directly borrowing a knife to kill. Whether it was to achieve the final goal or not, Hiruzen's image in people's hearts was still bright and brilliant.

"Can such a decision be passed?"

Aoba's voice was very low. In his heart, he was very surprised and angry. In the past, when he watch Naruto, he did not have much feelings for Hiruzen. Until the Konoha's F4 Edo Tensei come out, Hiruzen was silent in front of the other three Hokage, thinking deeply and guilty. It could be seen that there was something wrong with his heart.

At that time, Aoba only treated these as jokes that were made by the Hokage fans.

Now he was in it.

He felt it even more clearly.

After discovering the problem here, his understanding of Hiruzen became even deeper. At the same time, he also understood why Hiruzen's three disciples, Konoha Sannin, left Konohagakure one after another.

You will see a person's true heart after being with them for a long time!

Anyone with a normal brain would naturally find something fishy about what Hiruzen had done if they stayed with him for a long time.

"Shh!"

When Eaton heard Aoba's words, he immediately raised a finger, indicating that Aoba should not speak nonsense and lower his voice again.

Aoba looked at Eaton's cautious appearance, and his face became serious. He did not despise his cautiousness at all. On the contrary, he felt that caution was an outstanding quality.

Caution can let a ship sail for ten thousand years!

Eaton repeatedly looked around, and after confirming that no one was listening to them, he lowered his voice even more.

"Of course, there are people who object!"

"The first to raise a different opinion is Konoha White Fang, Hatake Sakumo-sama!"

"But..."

"Sandaime-sama said..."

"Anbu is more suitable to test the opponent's strength in this battle!"

Eaton said one sentence after another. Every sentence he said was meager, and he kept staring at the surroundings as he spoke.

Just as Eaton finished speaking.

The voice of the white-robed Anbu rang out. He gathered everyone and arranged for the ninjas here to run forward.

"Aoba, let's not talk about it for now. Just follow me. You must focus on the road and not relax at all. As long as you leave Konohagakure, there is no place where you can be considered safe!" Eaton hurriedly instructed. After that, his figure quickly ran to the front. He wanted to stand in the position of special Jonin.

Aoba looked at Eaton's back.

He didn't say a word.

Aoba already had a rough idea of what would happen in this war. The handling of this vanguard army could be said to be very sloppy and irresponsible.

It was like child's play!

Aoba finally understood why Konohagakure, who was so prosperous after Hiruzen took over, was played like that.

If you fight like this.

If Konohagakure did not lose, who would?

Aoba now feels that Konohagakure does not deserve to win at all!

"Let's go!"

At this time, a ninja patted Aoba on the shoulder. Aoba did not know this person, but he could be sure he was an Anbu member.

"En."

Aoba immediately jumped out, following the team to the battlefield, leaving Konohagakure's main entrance.

Swish Swish Swish Swish...

After everyone left the gate, everyone jumped up and jumped continuously on the tree. Their speed was very fast.

"Huh?"

Aoba was jumping and running with everyone. He suddenly felt that someone was looking at him. Since the moment he came to the ninja world and got Sage Body. As time went on, he mastered it more and more.

As long as someone's eyes were fixed on him, if the eyes were not very natural, he would immediately feel it.

'This gaze was not normal.'

'Who?'

A question mark popped up in Aoba's head, but he could not turn his head right now. Otherwise, if they looked at each other, it would be easy to alert the enemy.

The current situation was that the other party thought he was in the dark, and Aoba was in the open.

In reality.

Aoba was in the dark, and that person was in the open.

A moment later.

Aoba felt the gaze move away and no longer looked at him. He immediately pretended that there was something on his body and looked at that person.

A Hokage Anbu.

Aoba had never seen the appearance of this person. The people here were not wearing masks, but that feeling was definitely not wrong.

Suddenly.

Aoba looked around.

He found many Hokage Anbu.

These people were scattered in the team, with leaders in the front, rear-guards in the back, and scouts on the left and right, who seemed to be escorting them but were actually monitoring them.

To make sure they were all here?

Check if they do anything special?

This wasn't a simple battle, but internal strife mixed in during the war.

The hearts of the people weren't together!

Aoba sighed in his heart. He suddenly thought of a sentence.

To resist foreign aggression, we must first secure the interior!

This sentence was somewhat reasonable. Now that he was in the ninja world, he was different from other ninjas who were ready to sacrifice themselves at any time. He was a person with independent thinking and did not want to be the chess piece of others, especially when the person playing chess was a rotten chess player.

The more he knew.

The more he found out that this place was not simple.

How would other villages be better if Konohagakure had such a story under someone like Hiruzen?

Every family has their own difficulties!

The same goes for the village!

Aoba knew that all the villages would have such problems, but to directly use the first battle to eliminate the dissidents, this behavior was unique to Hiruzen.

Right at this moment.

Another gaze looked over.

This was another person.

Aoba felt the sizing and staring from this person's eyes.

Looks like...

He had already been listed as a target of suspicion!

Aoba didn't know if Eaton had sensed the Hokage's Anbu, but he was almost certain that these people had already noticed him when he was talking to Eaton just now.

If he was Hiruzen, he would definitely instruct these ninjas to focus on monitoring the people who had contact with Eaton.

He had chatted with Eaton at the beginning.

It was inevitable that he would be noticed!

Thinking of this.

The corners of Aoba's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a cruel smile. Since everyone was in the vanguard army and may die at any moment, then they should not return alive.

These Hokage's Anbu were all Hiruzen's absolute supporters. They all belonged to Hiruzen's forces and could be said to be Hiruzen's bodyguards.

Even when Hiruzen handed over his authority and Minato became the Hokage, this group would still be Hokage's Anbu.

Then it would be equivalent to the change of the Emperor, but the imperial guards were still in the hands of the old Emperor. This was like a sharp sword on the throat.

No matter how strong Minato was, he might be unable to constantly prevent sneak attacks and assassinations—at the very least, sending out information to kill people with a borrowed knife.

All of a sudden.

Aoba had already decided.

Since he had already decided that Minato was Konohagakure's Fourth Hokage, he would let Minato choose his Hokage's Anbu. That way, there would not be so many constraints.

As for Hiruzen's wings.

It just so happened that he was going to the battlefield this time.

What a rare opportunity!

"Since you want to find me in this way, then it is impolite not to reciprocate. I will also use the same method to cut off your wings!"

A bold idea for other ninjas came to Aoba's mind. However, he did not receive the education of ninjas from a young age, nor had he been brainwashed by the will of fire. What he thought was beneficial to him. It was something he felt right about.

When Aoba had just made up his mind.

Another gaze landed on his body. This was another different ninja.

"Good!"

Aoba thought to himself, silently remembering the owner of these gazes.

"All of you look over and reveal your identities!"

Chapter 395: Satsuma Rentaro in Konohagakure

Five days later.

Aoba followed the team to the border between the Country of Fire and the Country of Earth.

There were many ninjas gathered here.

Except for the ninjas stationed at the border of Konohagakure, the rest were Iwagakure's ninjas.

"Aoba!"

Eaton called out to Aoba. After that, he looked around, and finally walked to Aoba's side and whispered, "In a while, you can choose the tents that are closer to me."

"It's okay." Aoba waved and said, "Brother Eaton, there are so many people here. I will have no problem. There won't be any accidents."

"You'd better listen to me. Try to get closer to me." Eaton said worriedly. Aoba was very important to him, and it completely touched his heartstrings. If Aoba had not come to the border, he would have nothing to worry about. There was nothing to be afraid of.

"I understand!"

Aoba nodded. As he spoke, he felt another gaze looking at him. It was obvious that someone was watching him.

"Brother Eaton, I'm going back. You have to be careful during this time!"

Aoba did not want to stay here for long. The current situation was different from when Eaton looked for him. Even Eaton himself had not discovered that he was being monitored.

After saying that.

Aoba directly turned around and left.

He walked toward the crowd's direction and looked at the tents that were set up one by one. He did not show any signs of impatience.

According to the requirements of the white-robed Anbu, five people should live in each tent and the spot can be freely distributed, and the remaining people could gather together.

However.

Aoba and the others were ordinary tents, and they could not mix with the Elite Jonin. Otherwise, Eaton would definitely drag him into his tent.

Aoba stood there.

His gaze fell on the tent.

In his heart, he was recalling the gazes that had landed on him along the way. He already had a very clear understanding of these people's identities.

What was left was the problem of how to act.

Another period of time passed.

Aoba slowly walked toward the tent that was left for him. Just as he had expected, the people in this tent were almost all Hokage's Anbu. They were the people who had monitored him all the way.

Was it a coincidence?

Aoba did not think so!

In his opinion.

For such a situation to occur, these Hokage's Anbu did it on purpose. The purpose was very simple, and that was to monitor him.

However. n(0)vel(b)(j)(n) was the first platform to present this chapter.

Aoba did not care at all.

His gaze only swept over these people once, then immediately took a step forward and walked toward the tent where these people were.

"I will live here."

Aoba said indifferently. As he spoke, he walked toward one of the tents.

Actually, he had no choice!

There were only two tents left here...

There were four people in each tent, so both has only one person missing. However, the eight people were all Hokage's Anbu. Every one of them had once monitored Aoba on the way here.

It could be said.

This was a trap that these few Hokage's Anbu had especially left for Aoba.

After Aoba walked into one of the tents, he immediately saw all the positions near the tent entrance were occupied, leaving only the innermost place.

It was very obvious.

This was also planned beforehand.

Aoba believed that the other tent was also like this. The position left behind was also the innermost place, so if he made even the slightest movement, he would not be able to escape the eyes of these people.

"Interesting."

Aoba thought to himself. It seemed that these people had already decided that he was someone who had something to do with Eaton.

However.

Aoba was certain.

These people were only following orders to monitor such matters.

They didn't know the specific situation here, nor did they know the reason why Hiruzen had arranged this. It was even more impossible for them to know that it might be an Uzumaki clan matter.

Aoba walked to the remaining place in the tent. He sat down and slowly closed his eyes, putting on a posture of not wanting to talk to strangers.

Just after Aoba entered.

The other people walked into the tent one after another. Their eyes all fell on Aoba. After seeing Aoba's appearance, everyone had a question mark on their heads.

Was this person so cold?

While monitoring Aoba, these Hokage Anbu found that the young man under their surveillance had almost no friends. Other than saying a few words to Eaton after arriving at the border, he had not spoken to anyone.

That indifferent appearance.

Even these Hokage's Anbu were very surprised. They had never seen such a person before.

All of a sudden.

The four of them looked and nodded at each other.

"Hello, my name is Harano. What is your name?" One of the Hokage's Anbu took the initiative to greet Aoba. The atmosphere was too heavy right now, and it was not what they wanted.

After all.

The reason they had attracted Aoba here was not just to sleep.

If they sleep and don't do something else, wouldn't it be a waste of such a good opportunity?

After the ninja spoke, there was no more sound.

Aoba still had his eyes closed and did not say a word. He looked as if he had not heard anything. He was extremely indifferent during the entire process.

"..."

The four Hokage's Anbu looked at each other and could see the helplessness in each other's eyes.

To be honest.

They had never seen such a person.

After that.

The ninja who spoke just now pursed his lips and looked at Aoba again. He said, "Hello, my name is Harano. What's your name?"

The voice of this ninja was a little louder than before, and it was obvious that he was talking to Aoba.

A moment later.

Aoba's eyelashes moved slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes. The light in his eyes was still indifferent.

"I'm sorry."

"I'm here to participate in the battle."

"I'm not here to make friends."

After Aoba finished speaking, he closed his eyes again and did not say anything else.

"???"

The four Hokage's Anbu were stunned again. This situation was completely different from what they had imagined.

The other person directly said that he was here to participate in the battle.

What else could they say?

It completely blocked the words that everyone wanted to say.

For a moment.

The inside of the tent fell into silence, and everyone did not speak again.

...

After sitting quietly in the tent for a period of time, Aoba directly lay down to sleep. He was really sleeping, not the kind of camouflage.

Logically speaking, there was no need to sleep too soundly in the tents on the front line. In addition, most people were nervous because of the upcoming war, so sleeping was not so easy. Most importantly, these ninjas had just arrived at the front line. On the first night, when the tents were distributed, 90% of the ninjas were chatting.

Aoba did not care about this.

Since these four Hokage's Anbu were monitoring him, he did not need to do anything. These people would handle things here.

After all, surveillance was not an assassination.

There was no need to worry about safety at all.

It was even equivalent to him having four night watchers by his side, helping him do the night watch work, and there was no need to panic when he encountered anything.

...

On the other side.

Konohagakure.

Under the moonlight, a figure stood on the rock and looked mysterious.

This person was wearing Kirigakure's ninja clothes. It was Satsuma Rentaro who appeared in the Forest of Death during the Chunin Exams.

Of course.

This was not the real Satsuma Rentaro.

Instead, it was Aoba's shadow clone.

Before leaving Konohagakure for the frontline battlefield, Aoba had left three shadow clones behind to complete his plan.

Although Aoba could use Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) and teleport back to Konohagakure instantly, he decided to leave his shadow clone in advance, considering the many variables on the battlefield.

Looking at it now.

It was the right choice.

There were many eyes staring at him. Not to mention using Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique), even the slightest movement would fall into the eyes of those people. There was no way to escape.

Now, the role of the reserved shadow clones was revealed.

With the support of Shikigami no Mai(Dance of the Shikigami) and Kami no Shisha no Jutsu(Paper Person of God Technique), one of Aoba's shadow clones changed into the appearance of a Kirigakure ninja, Satsuma Rentaro, and now appeared above Konohagakure.

"The plan begins!"

The corners of Aoba clone's mouth slightly curled up. The plan was very simple. It was to attract the attention of the Konohagakure people through various things so that Konohagakure's people knew that Satsuma Rentaro, who had killed the three Iwagakure ninjas, was still in the village.

As a result.

Aoba, who followed Konohagakure Intelligence Division to the front line, was no longer a suspect.

In this way, he personally handed Hiruzen an alibi.

Swish!

Aoba's clone suddenly jumped out, his whole person quickly shuttling through the night-shrouded Konohagakure.

He ran while looking for someone.

If other people sneaked into Konohagakure, the first thing they had to do was to hide and avoid being discovered by others.

Now, Aoba's clone was the opposite. He did not hide from people at all. Instead, he was still looking for people. He needed to be seen by more people, and it was best to cause some public commotion.

Aoba didn't know how much the name Satsuma Rentaro was worth to Kirigakure and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

However, he decided to try it and squeeze out this identity.

Swish Swish Swish...

As Aoba's clone was shuttling back and forth, his eyes immediately lit up. He locked onto a target, and after his figure continuously rose and fell, he swept past the head of this figure.

"Who!"

All of a sudden.

A cry of alarm sounded.

That person was none other than Uchiha Fugaku, whom Aoba was very familiar with.

At this time.

Fugaku was on a routine night patrol.

Not long after he walked out, he saw a figure pass on top of his head. And after hearing him, the figure speed became even faster.

There was something wrong with this person!

Fugaku immediately determined that there was something wrong with this person. Without any hesitation, he directly jumped out and chased after Aoba's clone.

Hum!

When Fugaku was quickly running, his eyes trembled slightly and immediately changed. From the black eyeball, it turned into three tomoe Sharingan.

Along with the appearance of Sharingan.

Fugaku saw everything in front of him more clearly and instantly saw the figure running not far away from him.

"It's you!"

The moment Fugaku saw Aoba's clone, he immediately recognized the identity of the latter.

It was the person he had seen in the warehouse of the Country of Water merchant.

At that time, he had chased him all the way to the forest, but in the end, he had not been able to catch up. However, at that time, he had found his weakness. That was when he chased someone; he did not need to use Mangekyo Sharingan's ability immediately. That would consume too much energy, and it would be easy for his body not to be able to keep up.

"This time, don't even think about running away!"

Fugaku immediately roared. His roar directly tore through the sky, tearing apart the quiet atmosphere of the night. It was so much so that many people in the village were awakened, and there were even children crying in panic.

"Last time, I let you run away, which led to tragedy!"

"Don't think of getting away this time!"

"The tragedy in the Chunin Exams was your handiwork, right?"

"Satsuma Rentaro!"

Fugaku shouted out one sentence after another. He was using this method to inform the other Konoha Military Police Force ninjas who were still on patrol in the village to let everyone go and surround this person in front of him.

Satsuma Rentaro.

Konoha Military Police Force had been searching for this person for several days.

The sensor ninjas who Hiruzen ordered to search for clues had obtained very crucial information in their memories about the person who killed them.

The person who did this was a Kirigakure ninja named Satsuma Rentaro.

It was precisely because of this.

When Fugaku saw the back of Aoba's clone, he immediately knew that this person was Satsuma Rentaro. In an instant, he connected everything together.

"Tsk!"

Aoba's clone let out a sneer. He turned slightly and stared sideways as if he had just seen Fugaku.

"It's you!"

"You were no match for me last time!"

"So..."

"You still won't be able to catch me this time!"
