Chapter 396: Feel the Pain...
The voice of Aoba's clone clearly reached Fugaku's ears. At this time, he deliberately provoked Fugaku to increase Satsuma Rentaro's impression.
As long as the people in the village knew his identity.
Then, the people that had already gone to the frontline would be removed from the suspicious target.
"Don't run!"
Fugaku opened his blood-colored Mangekyo Sharingan and stared at Aoba's clone, who was running in front of him disguised as Satsuma Rentaro.
At this time.
Fugaku couldn't wait for his eyes to spit out fire.
Of course.
He could also spit it out.
However, after using it last time, it did not have a very good effect. On the contrary, because it sprayed too much, it caused weakness and ultimately resulted in failure in the chase.
For a moment.
Fugaku decisively learned his lesson from the previous experience. Even though he looked at Satsuma Rentaro's body with hatred, he still forced himself to hold back the urge to spray. He continued to persevere, and then increased the speed of his charge. He wanted to keep up with Satsuma Rentaro's rhythm by speeding up.
However.
It was the same as last time.
Fugaku accelerated, and Aoba's clone accelerated as well.
Fugaku was tired and slowed down a little. Aoba also slowed down a little.
Just like this.
Aoba's clone and Fugaku had always maintained a relatively short distance.
However, this distance seemed to never shorten.
It was a feeling of being close yet so far.
Swish Swish Swish Swish...
At this time, figures appeared from all directions and rushed toward Aoba's clone. Everyone was staring at Aoba. These people were people from Konoha Military Police Force.
After these figures appeared, they quickly blocked the Aoba's path. They had already heard the commotion here. Moreover, when they saw a Kirigakure ninja, everyone realized that there was an enemy attack.
"Hahahahaha!"
Aoba's clone immediately laughed out loud. His laughter resounded in the sky above Konohagakure, causing many sleeping people to open their eyes and be awakened by this laughter involuntarily.
"What's going on?"
"What happened?"
"Why is there laughter?"
"It's too noisy!"
"The enemy is coming?"
"..."
Konohagakure's people were all very confused. Everyone was not in a good mood. After all, they were disturbed when they were sleeping. No one wanted such a thing to happen. Some of the ninjas in their families even put on their ninja uniforms and ran out quickly, wanting to see what happened.
All of a sudden.
Aoba's laughter shocked the entire Konohagakure.
Hiruzen was also awoken; he frowned and realized that something had happened. He immediately got up, put on his armor, and rushed toward the source of the sound.
At this moment.
Aoba's clone knew that the wake-up call service was in place. After a sudden dash, he stepped on the roof of a house and jumped up high. He was now in the air. It could be said that he had soared into the sky.
"This..."
Konoha Military Police Force members who were chasing after Aoba's clone all widened their eyes. Their eyes were full of disbelief. They could not believe what they were seeing.
What was going on?
What hell was going on?!
He could actually fly?!
He directly flew high into the air!
What kind of ninjutsu was this?!
All of a sudden.
The heads of these Uchiha clan members were full of question marks. They were not very clear about how such a thing happened. It could be said that it completely subverted their understanding.
The history of ninja history was not long.
However, there were not many ninjas who could conquer the sky.
Since ancient times.
The number of ninjas who could fly could be counted.
None of them were nameless people.
After all.
Once they occupied the high ground, they would be in an invincible position. They could attack or retreat. Even if they couldn't win, the enemy couldn't stop them if they wanted to leave.
The ninja they were chasing after suddenly soared in the air. Moreover, he hadn't used external forces to float in the sky. This phenomenon greatly exceeded everyone's cognition.
"I can drown Konohagakure once, and I can drown a second time. This is my warning to you. Don't have any ideas about me. You are not my opponent. I just disdain to fight with you!"
Aoba's clone used Satsuma Rentaro's voice to say these words. After he finished speaking, his hands quickly formed hand seals.
One seal after another was formed.
The seals were unpredictable.
It lasted for a full minute.
Hundreds of hand seals were formed.
Such a scene.
Everyone on the scene was dumbfounded. They were numb and did not know what to say.
Not only that.
During the process of Aoba's clone continuously forming hand seals, he was still controlling the chakra within his body and releasing it bit by bit.
Gradually.
Along with the increase in the number of times Aoba made hand seals, the chakra fluctuation on his body become extremely dense. This made people greatly shocked, and they once felt that it was inconceivable.
"Is this person going to use a powerful ninjutsu?"
All the people watching Aoba's clone had this question in their heads. This could already be said to be everyone's thinking. They had never seen ninjutsu that required so many hand seals.
According to standard knowledge, the more complicated the hand seals were, the more powerful this ninjutsu was. Especially when everyone saw Aoba's clone chakra continuously rising to a terrifying degree, they didn't know what to say.
For a moment.
The atmosphere became extremely dull.
Everyone's expression was not very good. They just wanted to know what this person in the air was going to do, but they did not know how to deal with such a technique.
Aoba's clone was still quickly forming seals, and he had no intention of stopping.
"Satsuma Rentaro!"
Just at this time, a stern voice resounded through the horizon. This voice was very thick and magnetic. It was obvious without guessing that the owner of this voice was Konohagakure's Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"What the hell are you doing?"
Hiruzen stood at the entrance of a street and raised his head to stare at Aoba who was in the air. Even he was extremely surprised by this matter. He never expected that Satsuma Rentaro was actually a ninja who could fly.
What was even more unexpected was that this person's chakra actually reached such a terrifying degree.
This could no longer be described with words.
To his knowledge.
The only person with this kind of chakra besides his teacher was the First Hokage Senju Hashirama.
Of course.
The former jinchuriki, Uzumaki Mito, could also do this after entering the Nine-Tails Chakra Mode. Still, she was borrowing the power of a Tailed Beast, not the effect achieved by her Chakra.
Such a phenomenon.
This had already made his heart involuntarily produce despair.
How was he going to fight?
At this time, he was no longer thinking about whether Satsuma Rentaro had anything to do with the Uzumaki Clan. This was an impossible matter!
If that Uzumaki Clan ninja had this ability, then there was no need to hide it. He could use it openly like Satsuma Rentaro. He didn't even need to do anything. Just by relying on this terrifying chakra, he could throw away his helmet, remove his armor, and surrender.
"Feel the pain..."
Aoba's clone suddenly recited a very classic line. After he finished speaking, he clapped his palms together.
This hand seal was the most core hand seal.
Because this ninjutsu only required two hands to slap together. Everything in front was done for fun, like a finger dance for a few minutes.
The purpose of this was to cover up the truth.
The most important thing was...
This technique was a technique that had been modified through Tobirama's scroll. Now, he had already attracted everyone's attention. If he directly made a hand seal and used it, it would inevitably be discovered by others and become inconvenient.
After Aoba learned Tobirama's improved version, he directly overwrote all the previous techniques.
Even if he got this ninjutsu later when reading memory, what was loaded into his consciousness was still the strengthened version.
So...
Aoba could only use this somewhat clumsy method to cover up the fact that this technique has a small number of hand seals.
"Suiton: Dai Bakusui Shōha(Water Release: Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave)!"
Aoba murmured softly and only he can hear his voice. After that, he suddenly took a deep breath causing his chest to swell up sharply.
Just as Aoba's chest expanded to the extreme.
Aoba spat out a mouthful of water
This mouthful of water.
It was extremely vast.
It was as if Aoba's mouth was not a mouth, but a human-shaped faucet. This faucet was connected to the sky, and on the other side was a vast ocean.
Swosh Swosh Swosh...
Aoba quickly sprayed out water and instantly accumulated into a river in Konohagakure and fell down from the sky toward Konohagakure.
"???"
Konohagakure's people were already stunned. They stared at Aoba with wide eyes. They never thought that the big move of this person who could fly in the sky was actually a big spray of water.
However...
This spray of water was very fierce!
No wonder his hands moved so many times.
If not for the fact that his hands were as fast as lightning a few minutes ago, there wouldn't be such a magnificent scene.
They didn't know why.
When everyone saw this scene that was like a waterfall falling from the sky, their first reaction was not fear, but a faint sense of realization, especially the male ninja who watched the whole process.
It seemed.
If you want to spray.
Your hand speed must be in place!
This is an expert!
At this time, everyone gave Aoba a thumbs up in their hearts. They were very surprised by what Aoba had done and they began to gradually worry about such a thick and terrifying chakra. Aoba's mouth was only so big, how long would it take to spray it like this?
The water that Aoba's clone spat out quickly accumulated into a river, flowing toward the place where Konohagakure was in. It was as if it was going to submerge Konohagakure completely.
Aoba's gaze was fixed on Konohagakure's entire view.
He was not going to submerge Konohagakure.
He just wanted to convey a feeling that he wanted to submerge Konohagakure to the people in the village.
Of course.
He was not Aoba here, but Satsuma Rentaro.
...
Aoba sprayed it for a full ten minutes.
Konohagakure had changed from a secluded area with dense jungles to a barren river. The entire place was filled with damp air, which has already soaked the whole place.
He couldn't spray it anymore!
Aoba saw that Konohagakure was about to reach the limit.
If this continued, the village would suffer terribly. For example, the house was washed away by the current, and it was only beginning to fill up. There was a feeling that it was about to flow out. Everything was still within the controllable range.
"I advise you not to disturb me again!"
When Aoba's clone said this, he could not help but speak out his own thoughts. It was to the extent that the image of Satsuma Rentaro he wanted to create suddenly became less tall. Instead, it became a little awkward.
However, none of this was important.
Aoba had achieved his goal.
That was to show off his skills here and let everyone in the village know that this was him, Satsuma Rentaro, and not anyone else could replace him.
Just as Aoba's words fell, he immediately turned into a pool of water. He fell from the sky, dripping onto the surface of the water that had already formed in Konohagakure, creating ripples.
"This is a water clone?"
"It can't be! A water clone has such terrifying chakra?"
"But this is really a water clone!"
"This is too terrifying!"
"What kind of monster is this person?"
"..."
Konohagakure's people all exclaimed in admiration. However, as Aoba's clone disappeared, the exclamations became complaints. After all, their home had been flooded. Although it might not cause much damage, it would not be without losses.
Konohagakure had already been sprayed by Aoba once, and now he sprayed again. It was no longer as difficult to clean up as the previous time.
People were already used to it.
Now everyone knew how to drain the water and clean up Konoha! n(0)vel(b)(j)(n)served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l-B1n.

Chapter 397: Listening to What You Have to Say Is Better Than Listening to What You Have Said!
In Konohagakure, the flood was raging.
Almost everyone in the village knew that the person who sprayed the water this time was a Kirigakure ninja named Satsuma Rentaro.
After all, this person directly sprayed it in front of them!
So in their cognition, there was no one else at all. This matter was done by Satsuma Rentaro alone.
As a result.
The Anbu, including Aoba, who went to the front line, were naturally cleared of suspicion.
At this time.
Although it was a little late and everyone in the village was bathed in the bright moonlight, they were still working on fighting the flood. After all, no one could fall asleep in this state.
On the other side.
Hiruzen stood on the top of a house, his hands constantly forming hand seals one after another. He quickly used Earth Release Ninjutsu, controlling the water in the village to flow in the direction of the forest.
"Is this Satsuma Rentaro the one from the Uzumaki Clan?"
A big question mark appeared on Hiruzen's head. Logically speaking, this possibility had been eliminated. After all, he and everyone had just seen Satsuma Rentaro's figure. It was simply too powerful to be described. His thick chakra was like a tailed beast in human form. He just sprayed a few mouthfuls of water, and Konohagakure became like this. However, there were many things in his mind that he couldn't explain clearly. He still felt that something about Satsuma Rentaro was very similar to the ninja of the Uzumaki Clan who treated Danzo.
...
At the border of Country of Fire.
Inside the tent.
Aoba fell asleep.
He did not have anything to worry about. He had already set up all the arrangements before he left Konohagakure.
What he needed to do now was to carry it out step by step.
After all...
In addition to ABC's three different plans, there was another plan that needed to be carried out, and that was his own task.
What Aoba needed to do now was to sleep peacefully.
That was all.
However.
Aoba was at ease.
The other ninjas in this tent were not so at ease. They could only watch Aoba silently, afraid of missing any details.
Aoba was too relaxed.
This was too strange.
Even Hokage's Anbu could not understand what was going on.
Aoba did not do anything.
However, it made them feel that there was something wrong with Aoba.
Or perhaps...
It was because Aoba was too calm!
Usually, on the first night of their first day on the battlefield, very few people could sleep so soundly. This was a bit beyond their expectations.
...
Gradually.
A night passed.
Aoba moved as if telling the other people here that he was going to wake up.
After that.
His eyelids moved slightly.
He was ready to open his eyes.
During this process, the ninjas staring at Aoba just now seemed to have received a secret signal and began to quickly put on a new posture, as if they had just woken up to make Aoba feel that he was not being monitored.
"Good morning!"
Aoba looked at the other ninjas in the same tent with sleepy eyes. He acted very naturally as if he did not notice their abnormality at all.
Isn't it just acting?
Aoba now knew that these people were acting, but he pretended not to know. Compared with their acting, he was on a higher level.
"Hello, my name is..."
The ninja who introduced himself to Aoba last night immediately opened his mouth, intending to introduce himself to Aoba again, preparing to close the relationship with Aoba in this way. This was also the reason why they were arranged to be in the same tent as Aoba.
Now they were in the same tent.
During this period, they would either be fighting or living together.
Slowly.
Time would pass.
They would definitely become familiar with each other.
This can also be regarded as a comrade-in-arms who has been on the battlefield together. This way, it would be easier to draw closer to each other and discover Aoba's secret through various details.
It was just that...
The ninja had just opened his mouth.
Before he could finish speaking.
He was interrupted by Aoba's words!
"I'm not interested in what your name is."
Aoba indifferently got up. After that, he directly walked out of the tent, and his whole face changed from sleepiness to determination.
"I'll say it again."
"I'm not here to make friends."
"I'm here to fight!"
Aoba's tone was very cold. After he finished speaking, he walked out of the tent, leaving these Hokage's Anbu in silence.
"..."
These Hokage's Anbu were all dumbfounded. They looked at each other and saw the same gaze in each other's eyes.
This youth called Aoba was a bit too awesome!
He could actually reject a person so many times!
This...
However, Aoba's reason made them unable to refute anything. After all, it was a very important matter to focus on the battlefield and not let other things affect their focus.
...
After Aoba left the tent, it was still early and not completely bright yet. There were traces of damp and cold water vapor in the air, which could almost make people feel refreshed.
"Konoha's water is so noisy!"
The corners of Aoba's mouth slightly curled up. While sleeping, he had already been awakened by a piece of information. However, he did not show it. Looking from the outside, he still seemed to be asleep.
He already knew about the flood in Konohagakure.
The clone who had done this, the one who had turned into Satsuma Rentaro, had already removed himself after spraying the water and sent everything he saw and heard to Aoba.
"It won't be long before they call us back!"
"Before the order comes..."
"I have to do something."
"I can't come here for nothing!"
Aoba had already started implementing his plan.
Aoba ignored these Hokage's Anbu, not because these people were monitoring him, nor because they approached him for a purpose, but because it was as he said...
He didn't want to make friends!
Aoba now felt that his friends were enough. The debut release occurred at N-ov3l-B(j)n.
One was Minato.
The other was Teuchi.
As for Fugaku, he could barely be considered third.
There was nothing else.
Aoba had once opened his heart and tried to accept the two young girls when he was at the Chunin Exams without him noticing.
But...
The heavens did not grant his wish!
The actions of the two girls had greatly disappointed him.
Even he did not want to overthink this kind of thing. On the surface, he did not seem to care much, but in his heart, he was unwilling to be framed, especially his teammate.
And...
This kind of teammate did not even listen to your explanation!
After being taught a lesson by the two young girls, Aoba no longer planned to have any interactions with Konohagakure.
As long as they were familiar with each other.
Then there would be trouble finding his head.
It would be better to not have these things.
...
As time went on, the sun gradually covered the earth, bringing warmth to the air here.
The Anbu who had arrived at the front line had all woken up. Now they were all gathered together, looking like they were going to do something.
Aoba was also in the crowd.
Now, he felt more and more deeply about whether these people were sent to their deaths.
Because.
They were only standing here.
Other than standing there, they did not do anything else.
And the Hokage's Anbu Captain, who had called them over, had yet to arrive.
Another ten minutes passed.
Just when the people here were getting impatient, the Hokage's Anbu Captain arrived and came out of everyone's sight.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
This Hokage's Anbu Captain immediately cleared his throat. He wore the mask but his eyes behind the mask revealed an impatient expression as if he was very dissatisfied with the expressions of the people waiting here.
"Now that we have arrived at the front line, the war can start at any time. I hope everyone can be prepared!" This Hokage's Anbu Captain loudly said.
"????"
A lot of question marks appeared in everyone's heads. Now, everyone had no words to say. Because they really did not know what to say.
What did this mean?
Was it a joke?
Why are we preparing?
What are we preparing?
What after that?
Everyone had questions. They stared at this Hokage's Anbu Captain. However, this person did not seem to have anything added. He just stood there simply.
"What are you all still standing there for?"
Hokage's Anbu Captain, swept his gaze over these people, the impatience in his eyes almost overflowing.
"Go and prepare!"
This Hokage's Anbu Captain said in an unquestionable tone as if he was issuing orders to everyone.
"Prepare what?"
At this time, a person in the crowd suddenly spoke. The person who spoke was Eaton wearing sunglasses.
As Konohagakure Intelligence Division's Captain, Eaton wanted to fight at the frontline. He did not complain about going to the frontline as the vanguard. He just felt it was inappropriate to be the vanguard, but he still came.
However.
Now.
He suddenly realized that the situation was not what he had imagined.
At this critical juncture.
This Hokage's Anbu Captain actually couldn't speak clearly, making it hard to understand. Moreover, they didn't know what he wanted to express.
"Didn't I make it clear just now?" This Hokage's Anbu Captain looked at Eaton. His tone was filled with deep dissatisfaction. Everyone didn't know what had happened but it could be seen that he was in a bad mood today. After that, he said coldly, "Prepare to fight with Iwagakure ninjas!"
When Aoba heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
This was really...
Listening to what you have to say is better than listening to what you have said!
It seemed that he had said something, but he didn't say anything, but his attitude and tone were vividly expressed as if he had already said many things.
"When are we going to fight?" Eaton asked coldly.
"I think you should ask Iwagakure's ninjas about this question. Ask them when they will start the war!" This Hokage's Anbu Captain said in a strange tone.
"What battle plan do we have?" Eaton asked coldly again. This time, his tone was even colder than before, and he was also at the critical point of exploding.
"We don't have any plans yet. Our goal is to come to the front line and defend the front line. When Iwagakure's ninjas launch an attack, we have to deal with them immediately!" This Hokage's Anbu Captain said loudly.
"What if Iwagakure doesn't launch an attack?" Eaton frowned even more. What was happening here was different from the battles he had participated in before. He seriously suspected that this Hokage's Anbu Captain had never been on the battlefield.
"Of course, that's for the best. Do you want the war to break out? If Iwagakure's ninjas did not launch an attack and retreat from here, that is the best outcome for this matter!" This Hokage's Anbu Captain replied. He had been by Hiruzen's side for a long time, and he had learned a lot about Hiruzen's ways of life.
"Can't we take the initiative to attack?" Eaton said helplessly. He felt that this way of fighting was too passive. They didn't do anything at all. They just waited here, waiting for the opponent to attack and then defending. Their situation would be in a passive state in an instant.
"I believe that no one here is willing to make a big deal out of this matter. If it doesn't end well, it will be even more troublesome. After all, our goal is to make peace. If the other party did not start a war, that is the situation we want to see the most." This Hokage's Anbu Captain said.
"..."
After asking a few questions, Eaton was completely speechless. He was thinking of attacking Iwagakure ninjas while they were in their most energetic state. They were going to shoot first and gain the upper hand.
But their leader obviously did not mean that.
Then he had nothing to say.
This was not a question of who was right and who was wrong.
This was a matter of philosophy.
The ideals of both sides were different.
After Eaton retreated and stopped talking, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became quiet. No one said anything.
"If you have nothing to say, this meeting will be over." This Hokage's Anbu Captain said coldly as he swept over his gaze at the people at the scene.

Chapter 398: Why Are You So Concerned About Aoba?
The words of this Hokage's Anbu Captain directly stunned everyone. Everyone stared at this Hokage's Anbu Captain in a daze, and the expressions on their faces were wonderful.
These words...
What was the difference between saying and not saying anything?
It was complete nonsense!
He didn't say anything important at all.
The war was about to begin. They had already come to the frontline, but the current situation was that they weren't even clear on how to fight. It could be said that they had no clues at all.
This kind of thing...
It was simply inexplicable!
In fact.
Not only did these Anbu feel strange.
Even Aoba, who was standing with them and waiting, felt strange. Even in TV dramas, he had never seen such a command.
Wasn't this really sending them to their deaths?
This question appeared in Aoba's mind. Now that things had developed to this point, he was almost certain that Hiruzen hadn't made any preparations when he called them out. It was purely because Hiruzen suspected that someone among them was a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan, or rather, a Kirigakure ninja.
This was too child's play!
Aoba silently shook his head. His eyes were filled with helplessness. His impression of Hiruzen was getting worse and worse. In terms of handling many things, he even felt that Hiruzen might not be as good as Danzo.
After Hokage's Anbu Captain finished speaking, he saw that everyone present was confused, but no one said anything, so he directly left.
It was only after Hokage's Anbu Captain left.
Everyone realized.
They had been standing here for a long time. It was clearly an early war meeting, but after the meeting, they still did not know what to do.
"Aoba!"
At this time, Eaton walked towards Aoba. His gaze fell on Aoba and his expression was very ugly. It was obvious that he was still concerned about what had just happened. His mood was not very good.
"Brother Eaton!" Aoba nodded at Eaton.
"There is a problem here. You must be careful!" Eaton said. Although he had a low voice, he did not lower it too much, so many people around him still heard it.
"Hiss..."
Hearing Eaton's words, everyone could not help but suck in cold air. Hearing such words had already made their already suspicious hearts even more suspicious.
This matter was strange to begin with.
In addition, these words came from Eaton's mouth.
This made it even more certain.
After all...
Eaton was Konohagakure Intelligence Division's Captain, who was very good at information. If he said this, it would inevitably make people feel that something was wrong here.
For a moment.
Many people pricked up their ears and paid attention to the sounds here to ensure that they did not miss anything.
Aoba stared at Eaton.
He did not reply.
In this situation, it was not good for him to say anything.
It was better to quietly listen to Eaton finishes the rest of his words.
Under the gazes of many people around, Eaton pursed his lips and slowly spoke.
"There is no deployment here. It looks very strange. I won't say too much. If we just wait for the enemy to attack, it will be too passive. It will make us have many problems. I think we should be more careful and make plans early!"
Eaton noticed that everyone was staring at him. He also thought of this result and did not care too much. However, when he was about to say something, he thought about it and did not say it too clearly. After all, such a thing was not so simple. If he said too much, it might bring many unnecessary troubles. This was something he did not want to appear.
"Yes."
Aoba nodded. His eyes were staring at Eaton and had already seen it. When Eaton said the key point, he suddenly stopped and did not say the following words.
"You will stay by my side later. If there is any problem, I can take care of you better." Eaton said.
"Yes!" Aoba immediately responded.
All of a sudden.
Everyone was staring at Aoba and Eaton. Everyone expressed their doubts about the contents of their conversation. They seemed to understand something, but they did not understand anything.
"Eaton-sama!"
At this time, a ninja stepped forward and walked in front of Eaton. He stared at Eaton with burning eyes, and his entire face was full of doubts.
"Why are you so concerned about Aoba?"
This ninja immediately asked.
When he asked this question.
It just so happened that many of Anbu had this question in their minds. They could also see that Eaton was overly concerned about Aoba.
All of a sudden.
Everyone's eyes fell on Aoba, and there was a look of doubt in their eyes.
Aoba felt everyone's gazes, and the expression on his face did not change at all.
Just now, when this ninja stood up and asked this question, he had already seen that this person was not a simple person. He was among the people who had been watching him on the way here, a Hokage's Anbu.
It was not just this person.
There were many curious eyes on the scene, all of them were Hokage's Anbu.
The mission of these Hokage's Anbu was different from the other Anbu. The other Anbu mission was to come here to fight, and Hokage's Anbu mission was to monitor Eaton and find out who was closer to Eaton.
It was precisely because of this kind of mission. N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l-B1n.
Aoba had been targeted by these Hokage's Anbu.
However.
When Aoba thinks of it.
Aoba felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
If he hadn't prepared a few shadow clones in advance, then he really wouldn't have had the chance to send out his shadow clone right now because he was being closely watched by these ninjas. There really wasn't a suitable opportunity to go to Konohagakure and spray water to clear his suspicion.
This was also clear proof.
In fact, Hiruzen's method was very uncomfortable, and he really did find him, but Aoba used a more sophisticated method to obtain an alibi for himself.
"Because..."
Eaton slowly opened his mouth. After he finished speaking, the ninjas on the scene all focused their eyes on Eaton. The curiosity in their heart became even stronger. This question had also puzzled them. After all, they had never seen Eaton treat anyone so well before.

Chapter 399: A Person Who Could Write a Story Like Teacher Bai, What Bad Intentions Can He Have?
For a moment.
The surrounding Anbu all perked up their ears. Everyone wanted to know the relationship between these two people.
Eaton looked at everyone's eyes and the corners of his mouth curled up. How could he not know what these people were thinking? Before he left Konohagakure, he had already thought of how to deal with such a problem.
If he hadn't thought about it.
He would never take such a risk.
How could he not know that Hiruzen suspected that the person who treated Danzo's injuries was a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan? But he knew that Aoba had nothing to do with the Uzumaki Clan!
He believed in Aoba!
A person who could write a story like Teacher Bai, what bad intentions can he have?
"Because Aoba and Fugaku are good friends!"
Eaton said his answer. Not to mention the people at the scene were confused, even Aoba himself did not react at first moment. What kind of logic was this?
"???"
The question marks on everyone's heads increased, and the confusion in their eyes became even stronger.
"Hahahahaha!"
When Eaton saw how confused everyone was, he immediately laughed out loud in satisfaction. This kind of effect was completely within his expectations, but the results really made him very satisfied.
"Let me explain it to you!"
"I think many of you have already read the book - Teacher Bai of the Ninja School!"
"The author of this book is our Konohagakure's Uchiha Fugaku!"
"Aoba is Fugaku's good friend."
"He can get first-hand manuscripts and read them in advance before they are published."
"I'm afraid you don't know yet..."
"Fugaku's new book is too wonderful!"
"That's why I have to protect Aoba. This way, Aoba can help me get Fugaku's manuscript. That way, I can see more new books in advance."
Eaton said one sentence after another. He had already attributed all the fetters between him and Aoba to the books.
However.
This was not a lie.
It was the truth.
His impression of Aoba originated from Tsunade at the very beginning. However, it gradually fell into Aoba's talent. He felt that the story Aoba wrote was very impressive. It would definitely shock the world.
"This..."
"Ah?"
"What..."
"Ah, this..."
"..."
The people who were listening attentively to Eaton were all stunned and did not know how to describe their feelings.
This was too strange!
It was actually such a reason!
It's too... sloppy!
However...
One thing to say...
Teacher Bai's story was indeed beautiful!
Almost all of Anbu here had already read this book and had given great praise to the content of the book.
"Hehe..."
Aoba grinned. He was very satisfied with Eaton's explanation. It should be like this. As long as the final result led to the book, then there would be no problem.
All of a sudden.
Hokage's Anbu and the other ninjas looked at each other. What Eaton said was not the result they wanted, but it seemed to be reasonable. It did not sound like there was any problem.
"Let's go."
Eaton saw that everyone had stopped talking. He did not want to explain anything to everyone, especially about Aoba. He knew that the more he said, the more mistakes he made. Now that he said this, it was already a lot.
After saying this.
Eaton walked toward Aoba.
"Aoba, come with me."
The meaning of Eaton's expression was very clear. He wanted to take Aoba with him to prevent the possible attacks of Iwagakure ninjas.
"Okay!"
Aoba nodded. Just as he was walking toward Eaton, he suddenly covered his stomach.
"That..."
"Brother Eaton."
"I need to go and relieve some stress."
"I'm a little anxious!"
When Aoba said the last sentence, his face had turned pale. It could be seen that a storm had been brewing in his stomach, and it could erupt at any time like a volcano.
"..."
The people on the scene had not yet dispersed. After hearing Aoba's words, for some reason, they suddenly wanted to laugh a little.
However, this was an emergency.
No matter how powerful the ninja was.
It still needed to be solved.
"Go quickly! Be careful!" Eaton didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect Aoba to suddenly say such words.
"Yes!"
Aoba immediately lowered his head and went into the small tree in the forest. His steps were very fast and very urgent, but also seemed to be very panicked, as if he was afraid that a big movement would have too much impact.
After Aoba entered the forest and crouch down.
He immediately pressed his hand down on the ground.
Hum!
A Flying Thunder God Formula suddenly appeared on the ground.
After this Flying Thunder God Formula appeared, Aoba's figure flashed and disappeared. He directly used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) and disappeared, instantly appearing on his secret base in Konohagakure's tower.
The tower's hall was incomparably empty.
Aoba immediately made hand seals, and dense chakra surged out from his body.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique)!"
After Aoba used Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique), a shadow clone instantly appeared beside him.
Right after this shadow clone appeared.
Aoba's figure flashed and disappeared.
Swish! The debut release occurred at N-ov3l-B(j)n.
Aoba directly returned to the location where he was earlier.
After that.
Aoba directly went back to the camp.
When he just walked out, the Anbu gathered here had not completely dispersed. Their eyes immediately focused on Aoba.
"So fast?!"
At this moment.
This question appeared in everyone's mind.
In their consciousness.
Aoba seemed to have come out as soon as he entered.
It didn't even take more than three minutes.
Such a speed was probably abnormal.
"Brother Eaton, I'm done!"
Aoba scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly. He didn't care what these people thought of him at all. He only needed to know that what he wanted to do was done. Then there would be no problem.
"Come with me!"
Eaton nodded. He decided to bring Aoba to a relatively safe place to protect Aoba better.
"Yes!" Aoba moved and followed Eaton.
...
In the forest.
Not long after Aoba left.
A figure appeared in a flash.
This person's face could not be seen clearly. It was obviously a disguise. It was the shadow clone that Aoba had just released. This shadow clone had returned to this place through Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) after waiting for a while.
Now...
Aoba was going to make a mess at the front lines!

Chapter 400: Damn Konoha Ninja
After Aoba left with Eaton, the Anbu on the scene also dispersed one after another, including Hokage's Anbu who were observing the relationship between Aoba and Eaton.
In the ninja world of this period, the transmission of information was not so fast, and everything was not so developed.
There was no way to transmit information too quickly.
Sunagakure's carrier bird seems to be relatively fast here.
The matter of Konohagakure being flooded had not yet been spread to the front line. Not only was the village far from the front line, but Hiruzen and the others were also busy draining the water. They did not have time and energy to think about the situation at the front line and did not send this information out.
Because of this.
The Hokage's Anbu here was still executing the previous orders. They did not know that Aoba had been cleared of suspicion.
Gradually.
The ninjas at the gathering point had already dispersed.
According to Hokage's Anbu Captain, they did not need to take the initiative to attack. Instead, they just needed to wait here for Iwagakure to attack.
This was also in line with Hiruzen's character.
Others might not know, would not understand, and would not know why they were doing this.
Aoba was still clear.
He knew that Hiruzen was doing this to find a turning point. Once a war could be avoided, even if he had to pay a price, Hiruzen would be willing to do such a thing.
So...
Hiruzen was finding this opportunity.
Let go of the opportunity to attack first in the war, put the ninjas on the front line in a passive defensive position, and not take the initiative to attack.
Thinking of this.
The corners of Aoba's mouth slightly curled up.
"Since you don't want to start a war, then I will help you!"
Aoba silently muttered this, but his body was still following Eaton, without making any changes.
...
In the forest.
Aoba's shadow clone slowly walked out.
As Aoba's shadow clone walked, the sound of paper flipping came from his body.
As these sounds rang out.
The skin of Aoba's shadow clone became paper and flipped.
After these pieces of paper flipped, his body began to transform. From his height to his clothes, it completely changed.
After these pieces of paper flipped.
The body of Aoba's shadow clone had already become another person.
This person was the white-robed Anbu who had just spoken.
After Aoba's shadow clone completed its transformation, his figure flashed and quickly shuttle into the forest, disappearing without a trace.
After Aoba's clone entered the forest, he immediately moved like a dragon returning to the sea. In a flash, he had already passed through the border between the Country of Fire and the Country of Earth and entered the Country of Earth territory.
At this time.
There were many tents near the border of the Country of Earth.
These tents were of uniform specifications and were spaced at almost the same distance. Each tent looks neat. It can be seen that the ninjas here abide by the corresponding rules and regulations, and it has probably adhered strictly.
Such a scene.
It did not shock Aoba much.
After all, he is also someone who has seen a military parade.
Compared to the modern army, these ninjas were simply incomparable. But they have a certain advantage over the ninjas in Konohagakure.
Of course.
This was also a big advantage.
"Who!"
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded. The person who made the sound was a ninja of Iwagakure. His eyes were staring at Aoba's clone, and his eyes were focused on the symbol of Konohagakure on Aoba's clone.
"Konoha Ninja!"
The ninja suddenly roared. He had already discovered the problem, and every cell in his whole body became active.
"Enemy!"
"Enemy attack!"
"Quick, meet the enemy!"
The voice of this ninja was almost coming out of his throat. It could be said to be hoarse, but it was also very effective. It directly attracted the attention of Iwagakure ninjas here.
"Damn it!"
The corners of Aoba's mouth slightly curled up. Although he said this, he was very satisfied. But he did not show it at all.
"I was discovered by you so easily."
As Aoba spoke, he raised his hands and quickly formed hand seals.
"Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu(Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique)!"
After Aoba formed the hand seals, he suddenly took a deep breath. After that, his chest quickly swelled up, and then he spat out. The entire process was smooth, without the slightest obstruction.
A huge fireball directly shot toward Iwagakure's tent.
This fireball was extremely huge.
It was far more powerful than normal fireball techniques.
It almost covered Iwagakure's camp.
Just as Aoba's clone spat out the flames, Iwagakure's ninjas jumped out one by one and quickly used different methods to dodge, avoiding being burned by the fireball.
Only...
People could dodge.
The camp could not dodge.
There were many tents in the camp, and inside the tents were the daily necessities that Iwagakure ninjas needed, as well as many personal items.
This time, Aoba launched a sudden attack on Iwagakure camp at the front line of Country of Earth not to attack people at all, but for these supplies.
There were clothes, food, and everything they need to support here.
Now, he wanted to burn all of them.
As a result.
The ninjas on Iwagakure's front line had to face a cruel choice.
Either retreat immediately. This chapter was originally shared via N0v3l_Bi(j)n.
Or crazily attack Konohagakure.
In short.
There was no longer a stalemate.
Such a small action was enough to break Hiruzen's plan, break this fragile tranquility, and let the war arrive sooner.
The fireball that Aoba's clone shot out burned the tent. These tents were all made of wood and cloth. Their materials were flammable, and when they encountered flames, they instantly burned.
"Not good!"
"It's on fire!"
"Damn Konoha ninja!"
"Quickly put out the fire!"
"Our things are still in the tent!"
"..."
Among the Iwagakure ninjas, there were urgent voices. Their eyes turned red when they saw the billowing black smoke and fire from the camp tents.

Chapter 401: The Meaning of Konohagakure Higher-up
These Iwagakure ninjas were about to go crazy!
Their hearts were bleeding!
The tents in front of them were burning fiercely. Their supplies were inside the tents. Now that all these things had been burned, their hearts were filled with intense anger.
Some of the Iwagakure ninjas had already started to clench their fists.
Because they had used too much strength, their joints had even started to turn white. Everyone felt an indescribable sense of grievance in their hearts.
They had come here to fight with Konohagakure!
They could clearly see that Konohagakure was a coward!
In addition, they had just fought with Kumogakure ninja not long ago, and they found that Kumogakure ninja was just so-so, which added a lot of fighting spirit to them.
To be honest.
When they came here.
They did not put Konohagakure ninjas in their eyes.
According to the intelligence brought back by the scouts at the front line, Konohagakure ninjas were just a group of mobs. There was nothing to be afraid of, they could not make any waves.
But...
None of them had expected this.
Konohagakure would actually launch a sneak attack in broad daylight.
Still an open fire!
This was simply insulting!
"This Konohagakure is too much of a bully!"
"A sneak attack! A sneak attack!"
"They are deliberately showing weakness, letting us relax our vigilance, and then launching a sneak attack on us!"
"These people are too sinister!"
"Fortunately, we are fine, but our supplies are all gone, how can we still be stationed here?"
"..."
Iwagakure ninjas looked at the tent that was emitting black smoke. The food storage they brought was also here. Now that such a thing had happened, they definitely did not have any food to eat.
And because everyone was angry.
Their hearts resonated with each other.
Everyone held this kind of emotion and attitude, and they were extremely angry with Konohagakure. They wanted to kill Konohagakure ninjas right now and teach the person who came up with this idea a lesson.
After all...
This kind of fire was not so easy to extinguish for Iwagakure. They could only use some relatively stupid methods, but those methods could not extinguish the fire in a short time, and could not easily avoid the losses here.
"Hahahaha!"
After Aoba's clone finished spitting out the fireball, he immediately laughed out loud. After that, his figure flashed, and he directly used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique). His entire person had already disappeared.
Not far away.
In the tree forest.
Aoba's clone suddenly appeared, and the instant he appeared, he removed himself.
Bang!
Along with an explosive sound, Aoba's clone turned into smoke. In the end, this smoke quickly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
...
Konohagakure Camp.
Inside a tent.
Aoba had just followed Eaton into the tent when he suddenly felt his head shake. Waves of memories drilled into his head.
'It had been completed!'
Aoba smoothly received the information from the clone. The corners of his mouth curled up even higher. This was good news for him. As long as this matter was completed, then Iwagakure had to choose whether to charge immediately or prepare to retreat.
"Aoba, I have some doubts. Is Sandaime-sama targeting us?" In the tent with only the two of them, Eaton said something that he could not say earlier. It was not that he was afraid of Hiruzen, but he felt that saying this in the public was not really good.
Now that he had said these words, he felt more comfortable.
He just felt that there was something fishy about this matter.
Ever since Konohagakure Intelligence Division was established, they had participated in many small wars. However, this was the first time that they appear as the vanguard. After all, they were all sensory ninjas, not combat ninjas.
"Hmm..." Aoba deliberately dragged out his voice a little longer. He had already guessed this matter, but he did not expect that Eaton also had the same idea.
"Aoba, we must be careful. I faintly feel that something big is going to happen to Konohagakure." Eaton said in a deep voice. Even he could not tell what kind of feeling it was. He always had such an ominous feeling.
"What is it?" Aoba asked curiously.
"I think that Konohagakure might change its regime. It would be better if this happened after the war." Eaton shook his head helplessly. He had already seen through some clues. Hiruzen was working so hard to find the descendant of the Uzumaki Clan. This meant that the matters of the Uzumaki Clan were not as simple as they appeared on the surface.
It was just that...
He knew that the so-called descendant of the Uzumaki Clan he was finding was Aoba.
Therefore, there was no descendant of the Uzumaki Clan at all.
Then.
A question came.
Eaton knew that when Hiruzen asked him, he expressed that he felt that the descendant of the Uzumaki Clan might have pretended to be a Kirigakure ninja.
He was sure that Aoba was not a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan, and there was no such thing as a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan. This meant that Kirigakure ninjas were real.
Things were getting more and more chaotic!
After Eaton let out this sigh, Aoba had already taken in the changes in Eaton's expression. He knew that Eaton was already thinking about the matter at the back.
"It can't be..."
Aoba put on a look of disbelief as if he had just known about this matter. His entire face was filled with shock.
"Aoba, ah, Konohagakure has changed."
Eaton shook his head. Even he could not say why, nor could he tell when it started. He felt that Konohagakure was no longer the Konohagakure of the past. The familiar scene became strange.
"What is this smell?"
Eaton suddenly frowned. He took a deep sniff and found that there was a burnt smell in the air.
"Something burning?" The inception of this chapter's publication is linked to n(o)vel(b)(i)(n).
Eaton immediately got up and ran out of the tent. It had to be known that the Country of Fire territory was lush trees. Once a fire breaks out, it will cause great losses. It was very difficult for the trees that had been burned to rise back to this level. It would take several years or even decades of care. The trees were also the biggest advantage of the Country of Fire, so they attached great importance to them.
Aoba followed behind Eaton and immediately got out of the tent.
At this moment.
A large number of Konoha ninjas were looking in the direction of the flames.
"That is the direction of Iwagakure's camp!"
"Iwagakure's camp is on fire!"
"Doesn't this mean that heaven is helping us!"
"We should kill our way there!"
"This is definitely the best chance!"
"..."
These ninjas were discussing among themselves. Just as they were eager to try, a cold voice suddenly sounded.
"None of you are allowed to go over!"
The owner of the voice.
It was the Hokage's Anbu Captain.
"It was Iwagakure's problem. We won't give them an excuse as long as we don't go over!" Hokage's Anbu Captain carried out Hiruzen's philosophy very clearly.
"..."
For a moment.
Everyone was speechless.
Even people who were slow and stupid to react can understand the meaning of the village's higher-up.

Chapter 402: No One Bullies Like This!
The higher-ups had never wanted to start a war!
Everyone present was no fool!
Moreover...
This situation was so obvious that even a fool can see it!
There was an inexplicable fire in Iwagakure's front-line ninja camp. In this case, it was definitely the best time to take the initiative to attack.
If they seized this opportunity!
It was very likely that they would defeat the Iwagakure's front-line troops in one fell swoop and end this battle. After all, as long as the Iwagakure ninja here dies, Iwagakure would definitely choose to retreat and recuperate. They would not launch any more wars in the next few years.
However.
Now. This chapter was originally shared via N0v3l_Bi(j)n.
The meaning that Hokage's Anbu Captain expressed was very clear.
No one was allowed to start a war.
Konohagakure had to wait passively!
The initiative would be handed over to Iwagakure's ninjas and they could only wait passively for them to attack.
For a moment.
The ninjas' feelings toward Konohagakure's higher-ups had already changed.
They were a little disheartened.
...
Aoba stood in the crowd, silently watching everything that was happening here. He knew better than anyone else what was going on with Iwagakure.
The Konohagakure ninjas here were all upset. They felt that they had missed a very good opportunity to defeat Iwagakure. However, only Aoba knew that at this time, it was impossible to defeat Iwagakure.
At this moment.
Iwagakure's camp was burning with a thick fire.
However, there were no casualties. What was lost were only food, clothes, and others. It had no effect on Iwagakure's ninjas' combat strength. There was even a portion of anger added to their mood.
With the support of these emotions, Iwagakure's ninjas seemed to have a buff for a short period of time, which was enough to burst out with more powerful fighting strength.
If they were to clash head-on with Iwagakure's ninjas, with the strength of these Anbu here, it would be no different than striking a stone with an egg.
However...
There was no difference.
According to Aoba's judgment, Iwagakure's ninjas would definitely not be able to swallow this anger, and they would most likely attack them soon.
Therefore, regardless of whether Konohagakure's ninjas took the initiative to attack or passively face the enemy, this battle was already inevitable!
The role of this fire was still very big!
Not only did it facilitate the occurrence of the war, but it also allowed more people here to see Konohagakure's higher-ups' attitude.
After a while.
The Hokage's Anbu Captain left, leaving behind a group of indignant ninjas. Everyone's emotions were not very right.
Aoba glanced at Eaton who was not far away from him. He found that Eaton's face had become extremely gloomy. His entire person was in a fit of extreme anger. He was so angry that he could not speak.
Swish! Swish! Swish!...
Just when everyone was upset that they had missed the opportunity.
A series of sounds reached everyone's ears. The people here were all ninjas, so they could easily determine what kind of sound it was.
People!
Many people!
Iwagakure Ninjas!
In an instant.
Everyone realized that Iwagakure's ninjas were about to arrive!
Iwagakure's ninjas were about to attack them!
Only...
Because of the fire in Iwagakure's camp and their frustration just now, they did not maintain a highly concentrated defensive posture.
As a result, they instantly fell into a passive state.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!...
The sound of wind breaking rang out. It was kunai and shuriken being thrown out one by one. These ninja tools, which were shining with a cold light, were heading toward Konohagakure's ninjas at an extremely fast speed like a dense rain.
"This..."
"Despicable!"
"They actually used this method to attract our attention!"
"How dare you launch a sneak attack in broad daylight!"
"You, Iwagakure, are too much!"
"..."
Angry voices came out from the mouth of Konohagakure ninjas. At this time, when they saw the attacking Iwagakure ninjas, they were full of energy and knew that they had been fooled. Iwagakure ninja had launched a sneak attack.
"Damn Iwa Ninja!"
Eaton cursed. He immediately picked up two kunai and stared at Iwagakure ninjas who were rushing over like a flood. Ten thousand alpacas were already galloping wildly in his heart.
"Meet the enemy!"
Hokage's Anbu Captain's voice suddenly sounded. His voice was no longer as strong as before. The current situation made him realize the danger of this matter.
''Damn it!
He cursed in his mind. The Iwagakure's ninjas were stronger, to begin with, and there were even more of them. They could clearly fight face-to-face, but they chose a sneak attack method. This was not giving them a chance to live!
"How dare you, Konoha Ninjas!"
An extremely angry voice roared out from Iwagakure's ninjas' side. The owner of the voice was Iwagakure front line troop captain, who was in charge of everything on the front line. Now, the front-line camp had been burned by a fire. He had no way to explain it to the Tsuchikage.
"I won't let you off!"
This Iwagakure's Captain stared fixedly at Hokage's Anbu Captain, who had just shouted the word "meet the enemy" in Konohagakure's camp.
Just a few minutes ago.
It was this person who burned down Iwagakure's camp.
This caused them to fall into the current situation. According to Tsuchikage's instructions, what they needed to do at this stage was not to fight, but to give Konohagakure enough pressure and make Konohagakure give up huge benefits.
It was all messed up now!
"????"
This Hokage's Anbu Captain looked at Iwagakure's Captain, who was rushing over not far away. Question marks popped up in his head, and he had no idea what the other party was talking about.
Do we know each other?
What the hell is going on?
And...
Now that Iwagakure's ninjas had started a war, even if the other party let him go, he would not let them go.
"Have you, Iwagakure, thought it through?" The Hokage's Anbu Captain said coldly. At this time, he had to remain calm so that he would not mess up his judgment. After that, he said, "Are you sure you want to become enemies with us, Konohagakure?"
"Is there something wrong with your brain?" The corners of Iwagakure's Captain mouth curled into a sneer. He looked at Hokage's Anbu Captain with an incomparably cold gaze, as if he was going to kill someone.
No one bullies like this!
You came to our Iwagakure camp to set fire.
Now, it was as if nothing had happened?
If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought that this person had not done anything at all. His acting was simply too realistic.
However...
Who do you take for a fool?!

Chapter 403: Did the Captain Do This Thing?
"You..."
Hokage's Anbu Captain instinctively wanted to say, "Why are you still cursing?" but he took it back when these words came to his lips.
The other side had come to start a war.
What was the point of cursing?
This was not important at all!
"I understand!"
"Since you, Iwagakure, are determined to start a war!"
"Then I have nothing to say!"
"We, Konohagakure, will accompany you to the end!"
"Prepare to fight the enemy!"
Hokage's Anbu Captain shouted. Along with his words, the ninjas on the scene roared out one after another. The momentum of Konohagakure's ninja side instantly rose.
It had to be said.
At this time, Konoha's ninjas had already suppressed all their dissatisfaction toward the Hokage's Anbu Captain and the higher-ups.
After all, these things were Konohagakure's own matters.
It had nothing to do with Iwagakure.
Now that Iwagakure ninjas came over, they are their unanimous enemies. There was nothing to discuss with the enemy, just kill them and it's over.
"Great!"
When Iwagakure's Captain saw this scene, he was so angry that he laughed. He did not want to argue with Hokage's Anbu Captain, but now he suddenly wanted to argue.
Sometimes it was like this.
He was holding his anger in here.
It wouldn't be good if he didn't spit it out.
Now, he felt that he could kill Hokage's Anbu Captain at any time. Of course, this was just his feeling, not the actual situation.
Considering that he felt that he could kill the other party and that the other party did not understand after being killed, he would feel very uncomfortable.
"You attacked us, Iwagakure, and now you are still acting as if nothing has happened. You are so self-righteous as to question us, Iwagakure. You can't bully people like this, right? You are going too far!" Iwagakure's Captain said coldly.
As soon as these words came out.
Regardless of whether it was Konohagakure or Iwagakure, their gazes were all on Hokage's Anbu Captain.
Iwagakure ninja's eyes were filled with anger. They were extremely dissatisfied with this Hokage's Anbu Captain, and they wished that they could chop this person into eight pieces.
As for Konohagakure ninjas, they were extremely puzzled. They did not know what this Iwagakure ninja was talking about, and they even felt that it was a little strange.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand. If your decision is still to start a war after these words are said, then I think there is no need to say such nonsense."
The Hokage's Anbu Captain's tone became impatient.
At this time, he had just mobilized Konohagakure ninjas' emotions. It will definitely produce better results in this battle, and maybe the situation of the battle will change.
But if this person talked for a while longer.
The momentum of Konohagakure ninjas might weaken. At that time, the battle would be one-sided.
In fact.
In Hokage's Anbu Captain's heart, he faintly felt that this Iwagakure's Captain was doing it on purpose. He deliberately used this method to exhaust Konohagakure ninjas fighting spirit.
After all, the other party just set a fire and burned themselves directly to make them lower their guard. In the end, they suddenly attacked, which led to the current unexpected sneak attack situation.
"Hahahahaha..."
When Iwagakure's Captain heard the Hokage's Anbu Captain's words, he laughed as if he heard something funny.
"You despicable Konoha Ninja, how dare you sneak attack our Iwagakure's camp and burn our camp. How dare you say that our Iwagakure wants to start a war? Your words are really interesting!"
The Iwagakure's Captain stared into Hokage's Anbu Captain's eyes. The latter was wearing a mask, so he could not see his expression clearly. However, he felt that this person was trying to hide it.
Eh?!
When the Iwagakure's Captain said that.
All Konohagakure's ninjas cried out in alarm.
"Captain went to ambush Iwagakure's camp?"
"Captain set this fire?"
"No wonder Captain disappeared just now!"
"Wait... This means that we have wrongly blamed Captain. It's not that he doesn't want us to attack, but he needs a better opportunity!"
"As expected of Captain!"
"..."
While Konohagakure's ninjas were surprised, their impression of Hokage's Anbu Captain changed greatly.
After all, they felt that the fire in Iwagakure's camp was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. However, if this opportunity was created by Hokage's Anbu Captain, then the acceptance in their hearts would be very high.
Once, there would be a second time!
As long as nothing happened to their captain, then they still have a chance. Compared with the opponent captain, the ninjas of Konohagakure began to look at the Hokage's Anbu Captain with admiration, also discarded some doubts left over from before, and understood that they were standing in the same camp.
"What are you talking about!"
There was a deep coldness in the Hokage's Anbu Captain's eyes. Now he was also angry.
"Are all the ninjas in Iwagakure dogs?"
"Indiscriminately clinging to someone and biting them wildly?"
"When did I sneak attack you?" This chapter was originally shared via N0v3l_Bi(j)n.
"I want to give you a piece of advice here. Don't think that I'm easy to bully. You want to attack our Konohagakure, and you want to throw the blame on us. How can there be such a cheap thing in this world!"
In his heart, the Hokage's Anbu Captain already felt that this was a scam carefully planned by Iwagakure's Captain.
The purpose was to constantly consume their energy.
"Everyone, don't believe this person's words!"
"This person is splashing dirty water on me!"
"I have never done anything to burn down Iwagakure's camp!"
"He is just using this as a reason to make things difficult for us!"
The Hokage's Anbu Captain said coldly. Now, he could already be sure that this was the Iwagakure's Captain's trick to attack Konohagakure's camp by destroying their camp.
"This..."
The Konohagakure ninjas looked at each other in dismay. They could see confusion in each other's eyes.
What was going on?
Was this matter done by the captain?
How did it become so confusing?
Until now, they still hadn't figured out whether it was the captain who did this.
If it was...
Why didn't the captain admit it?
But...
If not...
Then who could it be?
For a moment.
Everyone was in a mess.

Konohagakure ninjas were not very sure about this matter. It was not because they did not believe the Hokage's Anbu Captain's words, but because they subconsciously hoped that this was done by Hokage's Anbu Captain!
A fire burned down Iwagakure's camp!
Even if the final result was that they all died here.
That was also a glorious death!
After all, this kind of thing was really satisfying. Dealing with Iwagakure's ninjas, they could not be merciful. When it was time to take action, they had to take action!
In addition...
The Konohagakure ninjas at the scene hoped that this matter was done by the Hokage's Anbu Captain. This also showed Konohagakure's attitude. It was not just what they imagined, they could not be so cowardly.
This could also give them a little bit of comfort in their hearts.
It was precisely because of these special emotions.
The Konohagakure ninjas here could not accurately make a judgment. They don't know whether the Hokage's Anbu Captain had done this, but they did not say anything and did not do anything.
After all, this was also reasonable!
If the Hokage's Anbu Captain admitted that he had done such a thing, then Iwagakure ninjas would have an extremely sufficient reason to attack them. However, as long as they stubbornly refused to admit it, and even if they were to remain in a stalemate for some time, Iwagakure ninjas could retreat.
After all, the Iwagakure's camp had already been burned, and there is no room for any supplies. It was only at this time that their momentum was at its peak. After some time, everything was uncertain.
"Hahahaha, you coward, you dare to do something that you do not dare to say. Since you are such a waste, then I am too lazy to talk nonsense with you. Brothers, kill these Konohagakure dogs for me and make them pay the price for their wrong actions!"
The Iwagakure's Captain raised his hand and pointed his finger at Hokage's Anbu Captain. He clearly expressed his meaning, and that was to destroy the ninjas that Konohagakure has stationed here.
"Yes!"
The Iwagakure ninjas immediately roared out and the waves of sound gathered together, drowning the place as if it had become a sea of Iwagakure ninjas.
Almost in an instant.
The aura of Iwagakure's ninjas had completely suppressed the aura of Konohagakure's ninjas.
The Hokage's Anbu Captain had a very ugly expression on his face behind the mask. Now, he was also confused. He looked at Iwagakure's Captain appearance and felt that the other party was not slandering him.
It should not be that realistic!
He noticed the expression on the face of the Iwagakure ninjas who followed him. It was genuine anger!
This kind of anger could be fake...
However, there were more than a hundred people here. Every single one of them could express their emotions in such a precise manner. Moreover, they had reached an emotional resonance with the Iwagakure Captain's words. This did not seem like acting. It was more like something that they had truly experienced.
'Could it be that someone had done something here?!'
At this moment, the Hokage's Anbu Captain thought of many things, including this one. Moreover, he felt that this was not a random guess. It was still very close to the truth.
But...
Iwagakure had already attacked.
There was no time to explain.
They could only face the enemy first!
"Fight!"
The Hokage's Anbu Captain suddenly shouted angrily. Not only did he gather the attention of all of the Konohagakure ninjas, but he also took the initiative to form hand seals, putting on the posture of using ninjutsu to fight.
...
"Aoba, follow behind me, try not to leave!" Eaton warned in a deep voice. His face was extremely cold. At this time, he was very clear about the seriousness of the matter.
"Yes." Aoba immediately responded. After that, he hid behind Eaton. No one knew that this seemingly weak youth had ignited the fuse that ignited this war.
"As long as I am alive, I will definitely protect you!" Eaton said firmly. He was very clear about the gap between the enemy and them. Just the difference in numbers was difficult to make up for. Not to mention that Iwagakure ninjas looked very discipline when they worked together. They had extremely good established standards.
"Yes." Aoba nodded silently. He stared at Eaton's back and felt quite moved. It could be said that this was a moment of life and death. Konohagakure was in this situation that could be said to be overwhelmed and outnumbered. However, Eaton was still willing to protect him. This was not a simple Tsunade's student or a novel author. This attitude made his heart feel warm.
After all...
Even between husband and wife, there was still a saying that they will fly separately when a disaster was imminent, let alone that they were not so familiar with each other.
Of course.
Aoba did address Eaton as Brother Eaton, but this was just a form of address. He did not really treat this person as his brother.
However...
These days passed.
Aoba could clearly feel that Eaton was really taking care of him as his big brother.
This made him deeply touched.
After all.
Once he died.
What Tsunade's student, what novel author, all of these were not important anymore.
"Brother Eaton, thank you!"
As Aoba thought about it, he still opened his mouth to express his emotions. At this time, he could be said to be the most relaxed person in the audience.
The rest of the people, whether it was Iwagakure ninjas or Konohagakure ninjas, were all in fierce confrontations. Everyone's spirit was tense. They knew very well that if they were careless, they might lose their lives.
However. N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l-B1n.
Aoba was fine.
He was like the invisible hand behind these people, controlling the situation here.
For him.
Everything was within the scope of control.
The only problem was...
Did he want to control it?
"Don't let your imagination run wild. Focus your attention and be careful of the ninja tools that fly past you at any time. Don't be affected by some large-scale ninjutsu. Our current situation is not very good." Eaton said in a deep voice. His eyes revealed a deep sense of vigilance. Everything that happened here was within the scope of his attention.
"Understood."
Aoba nodded. He said this not because he really paid attention to this matter, but because he wanted Eaton to devote himself to fighting as much as possible.
This was a war.
If there was war, there would be casualties!
If there were casualties, there would be a pain!
The accumulation of these pains can only cause the village to cry out. This was an inevitable process!
In Aoba's eyes, it was not a war he started, but this war was already here. He was just a catalyst for the outbreak of war.
Right now, among the Konohagakure ninjas here.
Except for Eaton.
Everyone could be transformed into pain!

Chapter 405: Something Is Wrong!
Chapter 405 Something Is Wrong!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
In almost an instant, Iwagakure and Konohagakure ninjas began to fight. All kinds of ninjutsu began to collide.
This was the first time Aoba had seen such a scene.
Many ninjas spat out ninjutsu at each other. Konohagakure's ninja was mainly spitting fire while many of Iwagakure's ninjas were spitting out mud.
The scene was exceptionally gorgeous.
When Aoba was watching Naruto anime, he had seen the Fourth Ninja World War. However, at that time, the five major village ninjas were already in a ninja alliance, and there was no confrontation of ninjutsu at all.
After all, the opponent was White Zetsu's army which did not know any ninjutsu.
The Edo Tensei army mainly focused on strength, and their numbers were not enough. The only one who played ninjutsu everywhere was Madara, but he was only one person.
At this time.
Aoba finally saw a medium-sized ninja battle.
Fighting each other with ninjutsu has expanded the entire battlefield into a terrifying multiplayer sport. The strength of these ninjas was not much different. It was not a battle that one or two people could control. Each person was like a small boat drifting in the flood, and no one knew where the boat would drift to.
Aoba stood behind Eaton.
He looked rather indifferent.
However...
At this time
No one felt that this was the self-confidence brought by Aoba's strength, but it was attributed to Eaton's protection.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The collision of ninjutsu continuously sounded, and Eaton also used earth-release ninjutsu one after another to resist the opponent's earth-release ninjutsu.
Whoosh!
All of a sudden.
A kunai flew toward Aoba's neck, and the blade of the kunai flashed with a cold light as if it wanted to directly pierce through Aoba's neck.
"Not good!"
Eaton was secretly surprised. He wanted to use ninjutsu, but it was too late to stop. Moreover, he felt with Aoba's appearance, it seemed that he did not notice this kunai.
Such a scene.
Eaton immediately broke out in a cold sweat. N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l-B1n.
An ominous premonition arose in his heart.
But...
Just as the kunai flew not far from Aoba, Aoba seemed to have suddenly thought of something and directly squatted on the ground.
"Brother Eaton, I thought of a sealing technique. It was from the book Minato gave me. I will use it now!"
Aoba squatted down and untied his ninja pouch. He picked up a paper tag. The whole action was smooth and there was no trace of acting at all. His acting skills had been perfected after coming to the ninja world.
"Phew..."
When Eaton saw this scene, he slowly let out a sigh of relief. Thinking back to the scene just now, he still felt scared.
If not for Aoba just thinking of using some sealing technique...
I'm afraid he is already dead!
This kid...
What good luck!
...
On the other side.
In Iwagakure's camp.
One of the Iwagakure ninjas had a malicious look and could not believe his eyes.
That kunai.
He was the one who threw it out.
"His luck is so good?!"
This Iwagakure ninja had been staring at Aoba for some time. From Aoba's stance and Eaton's care for Aoba, he could tell that Aoba was the weakest persimmon on the entire battlefield.
This Iwagakure ninja looked at Aoba with a bit of envy.
He wanted to take kill him.
And so.
He accurately caught the time when Eaton was going to release ninjutsu and suddenly throw a kunai at Aoba.
The moment he threw the kunai, he felt that Aoba will die, but he never thought that he did not see the scene of Aoba's neck being pierced by the kunai, but saw Aoba squat down and avoid it by accident.
"You can dodge it once."
"Can you dodge it a second time?"
"I don't believe that your luck is so good every time!"
"See if I don't shoot you to death!"
This Iwagakure ninja stared at Aoba. He had already regarded Aoba as his prey. He took out a kunai that flashed with a cold light again in his hand, ready to find the next time when Eaton would not be able to take care of Aoba.
Only...
This Iwagakure ninja did not know.
He thought that he was properly concealed and was staring at Aoba. But for Aoba, the opponent's gaze was like two searchlights were shining on him.
It was too obvious.
He completely exposed his concealed body.
"What seal are you going to make?" Eaton immediately asked. His mouth was asking questions, but his movements did not stop at all. He continued to defend.
"A small barrier seal that resists some attacks. This will secure our safety more." Aoba said indifferently.
"Barrier?" Eaton was stunned for a moment. In his knowledge, the upper limit of this kind of thing was very high, the lower limit was very low, and there was no fixed strength. Everything depended on the level of the user. It was not that he looked down on Aoba, but according to his understanding of Aoba, he felt that Aoba's strength could not support the barrier at all.
"That's right!" Aoba nodded. He took out a piece of white paper and placed it on the left rear of his left heel. Then, he took out a piece of white paper and placed it on the right rear end of his right heel. It looked like he had put two pieces of paper on the ground.
"Pay attention to the ninjas around you!" Eaton only took a glance at it. After he roughly understood what was going on, he retracted his attention and no longer cared about Aoba.
"Alright!"
The moment Eaton withdrew his attention, Aoba accurately grasped this opportunity.
"Eh?"
"Why is there a kunai here?"
"It blocked my seal!"
"Threw it away then!"
Aoba muttered in a voice that Eaton could hear. After he finished speaking, he directly reached out his hand to pull out the kunai on the ground and casually threw it to the side.
This action.
It did not arouse any suspicion from Eaton.
Of course.
Eaton also did not say that this kunai almost took Aoba's life. In this situation, there was no need to use it to scare Aoba.
Swish!
However.
Just when the kunai was about to fall to the ground.
Suddenly it floated against gravity and the sharp blade flashed with a cold light accurately pointed at Iwagakure ninja who was staring at Aoba.
Magnet Release.
At this time, Aoba used Magnet Release Bloodline Limit.
He controlled the kunai that he had just thrown out silently. It rapidly soared and instantly flashed a ray of cold light, shooting toward the throat of the Iwagakure ninja.
"Something is wrong!"
The Iwagakure ninja suddenly widened his eyes. He found that things had changed. He hid here to kill Aoba, but why was it that he was shot back by Aoba? Moreover, he could not dodge at all. He was going to be pierced!

Chapter 406: It Really Stopped It?
Swish!
The kunai quickly flew over and directly flew toward Iwagakure ninja's heart. Its speed was extremely fast and wasn't easy to dodge.
Almost in an instant.
This kunai entered this ninja's body.
It directly pierced through his heart.
This Iwagakure ninja widened his eyes. His pupils contracted slightly, and his eyes were filled with shock. He was in a state of extreme confusion.
Immediately after.
This person's consciousness began to slowly dissipate.
The ninja's vitality was rapidly dissipating at a terrifying speed; finally, nothing was left.
At this point.
This Iwagakure ninja was already dead!
Moreover, even at the moment of his death, he still couldn't figure out how he died.
Why did the kunai that his prey casually threw out seem to have eyes, directly piercing his heart at a speed he couldn't react to, wiping away his vitality?
After that.
This Iwagakure ninja's body lost balance and fell directly from the tree branch toward the ground.
The appearance of this dead person did not attract the attention of the people fighting around him. At this time, everyone's attention was still on the living people, and they had no time to pay attention to the dead people.
...
The corners of Aoba's mouth slightly curled up, and he withdrew the chakra that controlled the kunai. Just now, he didn't use too much chakra. In addition, his movement was to set up a seal here, so he would definitely use chakra. Therefore, he didn't attract much attention and perfectly dealt with the Iwagakure's ninja.
In the process of controlling the kunai, the movements of Aoba's hands didn't stop at all. He still continuously took out pieces of paper and scattered these around Eaton.
Eaton didn't have much energy to pay attention to Aoba, so he still focused more on Iwagakure's ninja.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of ninjutsu collisions continued to ring out in the forest, and from time to time, the sound of ninja tool collisions could be heard.
Every once in a while.
Someone would die.
It could be Iwagakure's ninja, or it could be Konohagakure's ninja.
At this point in time.
Both sides' gazes had already turned red with killing intent.
It was no longer important who make the first move. What was important was that the other party's hands were filled with the blood of their own people. This was already an unforgettable pain.
"Success!"
Aoba stared at the paper on the ground. There were black special lines on the paper, and each of the lines was emitting strong chakra fluctuation, which showed a very strange feeling.
"What kind of seal is this?"
Eaton asked a question in a very face-saving way. He was really not curious in his heart, and he did not want to know. It was purely because he had watched Aoba set it up for a long time. He wanted to save some face for Aoba, so he asked this appropriately.
"Hehehe..."
After hearing Eaton's question, Aoba did not say anything else. He only revealed an evil laugh.
"It's just a small seal."
Aoba did not directly say the name of the seal. Instead, he put on a mysterious feeling, obviously trying to keep Eaton in suspense.
"..."
Eaton was speechless.
'What the hell is this!'
'I already give you some face!'
'But you still won't say it...'
'Aren't you just...'
'Making some trouble!'
Eaton didn't really care about this matter. He only asked because he was giving Aoba face. Now that Aoba didn't want to say it, he wouldn't force him.
It was just a small seal!
Perhaps it would have a little effect!
However, it was not important!
Eaton didn't have any great expectations in the seal that Aoba had prepared because he did not think that Aoba could use a powerful sealing technique at all.
Aoba did not say anything else. He stood in the middle of the four intersecting points. His hands immediately formed hand seals after another. With a very fast speed, he completed the hand seals.
"Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation)!"
Aoba lowered his voice very, very low. Only Eaton could hear this.
Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum!
As Aoba finished speaking, the paper began to emit a vibrating sound.
After these sounds rang out.
Those four corners seemed to be burning with flames, forming four pillars of fire over two meters high.
Four pillars of fire rose from the ground.
After reaching the highest point, it then immediately extended out to the surroundings, enclosing Eaton and Aoba inside.
"This..."
Eaton was stunned. He did not expect Aoba to really get the seal out, and he had heard of the name of his sealing technique, the Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation).
It was said that this was used jointly by four ninjas, and it could resist the attack of Kage-level ninjas.
He wasn't sure if the area of this barrier was the Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation) or if it was different from the Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation) he knew of.
Swish!
Right at this moment.
It was as if it wanted to confirm Eaton's guess.
A piercing sound rang out, followed by a flash of cold light. A kunai directly flew over from the distance, its target was Aoba standing inside the Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation).
"Be careful."
Eaton felt the kunai's arrival and immediately become tense.
"It's okay!"
Aoba smiled and did not dodge. He knew very well how powerful the defensive ability of the Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation) he used was.
If not for the fact that he was trying to hide his strength.
He could directly lay it out casually.
He just did not want to attract too much attention and suspicion, so he controlled all the risks to the minimum.
"I believe in my sealing technique!"
Aoba said these words with extreme confidence. His words were not deliberately provoking Eaton, but he really believed that the sealing technique he used was not an ordinary seal.
Unless the Third Tsuchikage personally came here, it was impossible to break the Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation) that he used with just this Iwagakure's ninja. This chapter was originally shared via N0v3l_Bi(j)n.
"You..."
Eaton's face immediately became ugly. He had been a little crazy when it came to Aoba. If Aoba wanted to avoid it just now, there was still time. Now that the kunai had already reached the edge of the Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation), he wanted to rush over quickly.
Puff!
Just as the kunai stabbed into the Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation), a stream of high-temperature refined water vapor rose into the air and disappeared.
"It really stopped it?!"
Eaton's heart immediately stirred. Just now, he clearly felt that the kunai disappeared in the flames.

Chapter 407: Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation)
Eaton first thought that Aoba just started to lay the sealing technique just now because he had nothing to do under his protection and was rather bored.
But now it seemed.
This was not a casual action.
He really knew how to use the sealing technique!
Eaton did not know how powerful this sealing technique was. He was indeed looking forward to it, but he did not dare to think too much about it.
After all, the Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation) that he knew required four ninjas to maintain it together. Moreover, the requirements for the chakra control of the four ninjas were very high.
It was because of this reason.
The use of the Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation) was extremely difficult and not that simple to release it. Just the step of four ninja cooperation increased the threshold for this sealing technique.
However.
Aoba actually made it by himself.
And with just four pieces of paper!
Just thinking about it made him feel that this was ridiculous. Those four pieces of paper could actually support a barrier-type sealing technique?
Wasn't this a bit too exaggerated?
Eaton pondered in his heart. He did not know exactly what was going on. This was only a guess he made based on the fact that the kunai was directly burned to ashes.
Of course.
Eaton did not know.
The four pieces of paper that maintained this Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation) was not simple piece of paper, but Aoba's shadow clone.
The paper that Aoba's shadow clone had turned into was constantly releasing chakra to support this barrier.
Because of this.
Aoba easily used the Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation).
"Brother Eaton, now we can rest easy. I think they will retreat soon." Aoba said with a smile.
"Do they not care about us?" Eaton was stunned for a moment. He never thought that the end would be so abrupt.
"No, don't worry!" Aoba nodded. He has full of confidence in his Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation) and it was not that Iwagakure's ninjas did not want to attack his barrier, but they could not break it at all. It might even cause danger to their lives.
"Alright." Eaton nodded doubtfully. He didn't understand the logic behind Aoba's words. Why would Iwagakure's ninjas let them go? They obviously wouldn't let them go, but Aoba still said that he could be at ease. How could he be at ease? However, he didn't say anything this time.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The war on the outside was still going on. Under the constant collisions of ninjutsu, corpses fell one after another.
This situation was extremely tragic.
Eaton stood inside the barrier and looked at the situation outside. His eyes were red. If he was a member of the Uchiha clan, then presumably the level of his Sharingan would undergo a transformation at this moment.
"Aoba, is there any way for me to attack them?" Eaton asked in a low voice. Now, he was standing inside the barrier like a spectator. He could only see the scene in front of him, but he couldn't attack. This made him rather anxious in his heart. He wanted to go to the battlefield and heroically kill the enemy.
"No."
Aoba shook his head. The inception of this chapter's publication is linked to n(o)vel(b)(i)(n).
In fact.
He could control it.
However, he did not want to do such a thing.
This was not a good operation.
Once he moves like this, it will not end well in the future. His excuse has already been thought out, so it will be more secure.
"Brother Eaton!"
"Once this barrier is released, it will only end when the chakra is exhausted."
"There is no way to open it."
"This barrier is not opened by my ability, but by the sealing formula and chakra contain on those pieces of paper."
"As you can see, I'm doing nothing!"
When Aoba spoke, he spread out his hands and let Eaton see his clean palm. It was like telling Eaton with his body that he was not controlling it.
"It's actually possible to do this?!" After hearing Aoba's words, Eaton suddenly felt that the door to the new world had been opened. He had never known such a thing before. Items could actually be used to deploy barriers instead of people. This method was too strange.
However.
The truth was in front of his eyes.
Standing inside, he could see the four corners of the barrier. The pieces of paper were releasing the chakra needed to support the barrier. It was not controlled by Aoba at all.
"Is this a sealing technique of the Uzumaki Clan?!"
Eaton could not help but sigh. He knew that Aoba was not a member of the Uzumaki Clan, but he could guess how powerful the Uzumaki Clan was through Aoba's operation.
You should know...
Almost a year ago.
Aoba was still a young man without the strength to restrain a chicken.
Now he could actually use such a powerful sealing technique.
Even if the strength of these seals was not very strong, to be able to achieve such a degree was enough to show that the sealing technique of the Uzumaki Clan was very powerful.
This was Aoba using it.
Then what would happen if it was cast by those from the Uzumaki Clan who were well-versed in the sealing technique?
Question marks popped up in Eaton's head. Even if he was on the battlefield now, he had changed from a person who participated in the battle to a bystander, giving him more room to think.
Especially when Aoba said that this sealing technique could not be released halfway, he stopped thinking about joining the battle and knew that there was also no way to get the others in.
He could only silently watch the development inside.
Moreover.
He could gradually understand why Hiruzen was so persistent in finding the descendants of the Uzumaki Clan. If even Aoba was like this, how powerful would the people of the Uzumaki Clan be?
Of course.
What he didn't know was that Hiruzen was feeling a strong sense of fear from this Uzumaki Clan.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just as Eaton was thinking, a series of kunai shot out and stabbed into the Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation).
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
As long as these kunai hit the flame wall, they would be directly burned into gas, unable to touch the bodies of Aoba and Eaton.
Seeing this scene again.
Eaton was no longer that surprised.
He knew that the Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation) that Aoba used could block the kunai like this, but he just didn't know if it could block any ninjutsu, so after a short period of thinking, he pulled back his attention.
Puff!
All of a sudden.
A figure collided with the Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation).
This was an Iwagakure's ninja. When the ninja collided, Eaton wasn't quite sure whether he collided by accident or rushed over on his own initiative.
However, when this person came into contact with the flame wall, he instantly evaporated!

Chapter 408: Why Kill the Ninja From the Uzumaki Clan?
"Hiss..."
When Eaton saw the power of this Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation), he could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
He never thought that things would develop to this extent.
The power of this barrier was a bit too strong!
For a moment.
Eaton looked at Aoba out of the corner of his eye. He did not know what to say. Once such a barrier appeared, there were probably not many people here who could break it.
As a result.
The caster was almost invincible.
However.
There was also another drawback.
That was the caster had no way to continue participating in the battle and could only watch as the situation developed.
"Um..."
Eaton wanted to ask Aoba, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say them.
Don't you, the person who deploys this barrier, know the power of this barrier?
A big question mark appeared in Eaton's head. No matter how Aoba answered, he felt that this matter was a bit difficult to understand.
No wonder...
He already understood why Hiruzen suspected that Aoba was a ninja from the Uzumaki Clan.
If he didn't know Aoba, he would probably have the same thought.
These types of sealing techniques were simply not something that ordinary people could master. This was no longer a matter of difficulty, but rather that they cannot be learned at all.
But in his opinion.
Aoba had this kind of talent.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to grasp the Sealing Technique of the Uzumaki Clan like this.
This was not a matter of Minato giving one or two books at all. There were many sealing techniques on it, and even if it was Minato himself, he would not learn and use them.
This involved a problem of talent!
Eaton did not expect Aoba, who was just a weak and sickly person from the Yamanaka Clan. Because of his encounters with Tsunade, and after becoming Tsunade's student, he obtained the opportunity to change his fate.
But now it seems...
On the contrary, he felt that Tsunade's vision was very strong!
Otherwise, how could she accept a weak and sickly Aoba as her student?
At that time, when Tsunade accepted Aoba as her student, he had a faint feeling that there was something wrong. After all, at that time, Aoba and Tsunade had almost no interaction. In the end, they became teachers and students. Then, Aoba would definitely have something that Tsunade admired.
Now he understood!
Talent!
Aoba had a talent that no one had discovered!
However.
This talent.
Tsunade discovered it!
"Sigh..."
Eaton couldn't help but sigh. This Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation), who had an extremely strong defense, gave him a chance to let his imagination run wild. However, he still wasn't sure how long this Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation) could last so he didn't dare to relax at all.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Outside the barrier, the sounds of all kinds of ninjutsu and ninja tools colliding were still ringing in their ears. The battle had already reached its climax. The number of casualties was constantly increasing. Almost everyone's eyes were red from killing.
"Aoba, we might lose!"
Eaton's attention returned to the battlefield. At this time, he could only be a spectator, just like a spectator watching the battle from a close distance, but there was no way to participate.
When he said this, his heart was filled with deep helplessness.
There was also an indescribable sigh.
There was only a barrier between them.
It was as if they were in two different worlds.
"Aren't these people here just sacrificial pawns that are going to be sacrificed?" Aoba said indifferently. He also saw Konohagakure's ninjas die one after another, especially those who were watching him along the way. He didn't even need to make a move. Iwagakure's ninjas had already done all of this.
"You..."
Eaton was stunned. This chapter was originally shared via N0v3l_Bi(j)n.
He understood Aoba's words.
He also thought of this.
But now, Aoba directly said it in such a flat tone.
He was still a little speechless.
After all...
After being Konohagakure Intelligence Division Captain for so many years, he still hoped that the village would not have any problems and would not betray any of them.
"Brother Eaton, I only realized the problem after hearing your words. Look at the Iwagakure ninjas' number and level of discipline. Not to mention us, even the ninjas in the village who are responsible for fighting are uncertain whether they can win or not. The purpose of sending us here is to die!"
The corners of Aoba's mouth curled up slightly. It wasn't that he was thinking randomly, nor was it that he wasn't smart. He felt that most of the people present here had already sensed it.
However.
These ninjas.
Most of them had their own ideological awareness.
They could sacrifice their bodies at any time.
As long as Konohagakure needed them, even if it was a suicide mission, they would go!
After all.
This could bring hope to others.
This was the will of fire!
"Sigh..."
When Eaton heard Aoba's words, he could not help but sigh. How could he not understand what Aoba meant? It was just that the current situation was really hard for him to accept.
"Brother Eaton, do you know why Sandaime-sama asked us to come here and die?" Aoba asked with a smile. His attitude was different from before. He was full of confidence and wisdom.
"Why?!"
Eaton suddenly looked up at Aoba. He was also constantly asking himself this question.
Why?
Why was such a task given to Anbu's Sensor Ninjas?
All of the Konohagakure Intelligence Division's members were present.
It looked like there were quite a few people.
In fact, after entering the battlefield, ten people could not compare to Iwagakure's ninjas.
Moreover, they were still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.
Why did he send them?
Not someone else.
This question also troubled Eaton.
"If I'm not wrong..."
The smile on Aoba's face slowly disappeared and he looked a lot more serious.
"It's because of me!"
Aoba continued to say the following words. Now that he had said so much to Eaton, he felt that some things could be said appropriately.
"!!!"
Eaton suddenly widened his eyes, his eyes filled with horror. He had also vaguely guessed the answer.
The only problem that Aoba had with Hiruzen was his identity. He was mistaken as a ninja of the Uzumaki Clan.
But...
A problem came!
Why kill a ninja from the Uzumaki Clan?
What kind of logic was this?

Chapter 409: Space-Time Seal!
When Eaton thought of this, his pupils contracted slightly. His pitch-black eyes revealed deep shock.
"It can't be..."
Eaton's breathing became hurried. He had already faintly realized something.
About Hiruzen.
About the matter of the Uzumaki Clan ninjas.
Now it seems...
Hiruzen concern for the Uzumaki Clan's ninjas has already exceeded a bit to the point that he was concerned about the life and death of the Uzumaki Clan.
Only...
Hiruzen didn't seem to want to find the Uzumaki Clan ninja and also didn't want to protect him. Instead, it was more like he wanted to destroy the Uzumaki Clan's bloodline.
This was not a simple problem!
This was a big problem!
Eaton could no longer tell what Hiruzen's goal was. If he wanted to help the ninjas of the Uzumaki Clan, then there was no need to be in such a hurry. But now, this feeling of urgency made him unable to tell what his goal was.
It seemed... The debut release occurred at N-ov3l-B(j)n.
The fact that the news of ninjas from the Uzumaki Clan was still alive.
What brought Hiruzen was not joy, but pressure. It was so great pressure that he could sacrifice an entire Anbu division.
"Sigh..."
Eaton sighed, he suddenly felt that this was not a trivial matter and behind this matter, a big secret was hidden.
This secret was related to the Uzumaki Clan!
Even...
It was also related to Hiruzen!
"Brother Eaton, keep an eye on this place. I feel that the village's ninjas can no longer hold on. I need to create another barrier."
Aoba directly threw down this sentence and then immediately squatted down.
He took out a piece of white paper from his ninja pouch and put it on the ground. After that, he injected chakra into it.
Hum, Hum, Hum, Hum, Hum...
After the white paper was injected with chakra, a series of buzzing sounds rang out. This kind of operation was seen by Eaton. He really wanted to see how Aoba operated, but he couldn't completely focus on Aoba. He had to pay attention to the situation outside that could happen at any time.
For a moment.
Eaton felt that many ninjutsu was sprayed toward his body.
Earth Release Technique.
Fire Release Technique.
There was also Water Release Technique.
When these techniques hit Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation), although they did not break through Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation) they caused waves one after another.
Because Konohagakure's ninjas died one after another
There were only a few ninjas left who rushed to the front line, and almost all of them were dead.
At this time.
Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation) had already attracted the attention of Iwagakure's ninja.
The ninjutsu that burst out from the bodies of these people collided with Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation) one by one but they were all repeatedly stopped.
"Hahahaha, there is actually a turtle shell here!"
"Konohagakure's ninjas all deserve to die!"
"Now we can't let him leave directly..."
"This barrier is quite powerful!"
"If we exert our strength together now, we can break this barrier!"
"..."
The sounds of Iwagakure's ninja discussions were heard clearly by Aoba because they did not even bother to cover it up.
This also meant that...
Konohagakure's ninjas could no longer pose any threat to Iwagakure's ninjas.
Immediately after.
These Iwagakure's ninjas immediately gathered toward Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation). They wanted to break the barrier here in one go and then kill the two people inside.
"This barrier was made by that youth!"
"For us, such a person will be a big trouble!"
"We must do our best to kill him!"
"That's right!"
"Now, let's work together to break this barrier!"
"..."
The voices of these Iwagakure ninjas had already become determined. They were very determined to not let Aoba leave here. Otherwise, when they continued to fight with Konohagakure's ninjas in the future, this barrier method might become a danger to them.
Done speaking!
These Iwagakure ninjas did not hesitate at all.
They quickly launched an attack at Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation), and the sound of collision became even heavier.
"It's almost done!"
Aoba immediately felt like he was using this sealing technique for the first time, making Eaton, who was beside him, stunned.
"Give me a few more minutes!"
Aoba quickly picked up the pieces of paper and looked at Eaton, who was also inside the barrier.
"Brother Eaton, I will leave this place to you. I feel that Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation) might be broken!"
Aoba said these words very eagerly.
In fact.
Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation) would not be broken by these people!
This type of extremely high-level sealing technique, not to mention Iwagakure's ninjas, even when Aoba was watching anime in the past, was a barrier that could even trap Hiruzen.
No matter how hard these people tried, it was impossible to break the barrier.
However.
Aoba still acted, pretending that he was not that powerful, so as not to directly expose his strength.
"No problem!"
Eaton immediately nodded. When he spoke, even he did not notice that his tone of speaking to Aoba had gradually changed.
It seemed that it was not him who was the senior.
It was Aoba who was the senior!
Then.
Eaton had practically focused all of his attention on the barrier. The continuous attacks from Iwagakure ninjas, as well as the words that Aoba had just said, made him think that Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation) was about to break apart.
Of course.
This kind of illusion was deliberately created by Aoba.
He wanted to give Eaton such a sense of oppression that he had no time to pay attention to him and think of some unnecessary things at this time.
Gradually.
Time passed by.
Eaton stood here for ten minutes. Iwagakure had been attacking outside for ten minutes. However, there was still no problem with the barrier. There was not even a trace of it being broken. It was still operating normally.
"This defensive barrier is really powerful!"
Eaton stood inside and stared for more than ten minutes. He gradually relaxed a little. His mind began to wander again in Aoba and Uzumaki Clan's direction.
However.
At this time.
Aoba placed the last piece of paper at the edge of the barrier.
"Brother Eaton, I succeeded. We can leave this place immediately!" Aoba smiled and said, "This is a space-time seal!"
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 410: Konohagakure Is My Home
Space-time seal?!
When Eaton heard Aoba's words, he couldn't help but be stunned. His head was muddled and he couldn't believe his ears.
He didn't know much about the sealing technique, so he didn't know what level this Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation) was at, so he keeps being surprised in different ways.
But...
For space-time ninjutsu.
He still has some concepts in his mind!
Space-time ninjutsu was not a simple thing. The most famous one was the Second Hokage's Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique)
He doesn't know how much this space-time seal has to do with space-time ninjutsu, but he understands that if it was linked to the three words "space and time", then many things would not be so simple.
"I'm going to start!"
Aoba's voice sounded again, clearly transmitted into Eaton's ears. It directly causes Eaton to widen his eyes and pull him back from his messy thoughts.
Immediately after.
Hum!!!
The inside of Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation) was filled with a surging vibration feeling, and mysterious space-time energy rolled out, surging toward Aoba and Eaton, directly wrapping them up.
"This..."
Eaton had never felt this way before, and his body inside the barrier began to move along with the surrounding chakra.
Hum!
The barrier suddenly trembled. A wave of energy surged out and instantly disappeared with Aoba and Eaton.
...
The Iwagakure ninjas were all dumbfounded.
Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in a daze. This was still the same Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation) from before, but the people inside had disappeared, as if they had disappeared into thin air.
As this happened.
All the Iwagakure ninjas were stunned.
"Where are they?"
"Wasn't they here just now?"
"Why did they suddenly disappear?"
"What happened?"
"What just happened?"
"..."
One question after another popped up in the minds of Iwagakure's ninjas. This kind of thing was beyond their knowledge and completely beyond their comprehension.
At this moment.
This place.
There were corpses everywhere.
There were Iwagakure's people and Konohagakure's people among these corpses but Konohagakure people were the majority, including Hokage's Anbu Captain. They all died in this place.
"Damn it!"
The Iwagakure Captain glared at the still-burning Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation). His right arm had been broken, and blood was flowing out of the corner of his mouth. After the battle with Hokage's Anbu Captain, he lost the ability to fight.
"Two people actually ran away!"
The Iwagakure Captain was very dissatisfied with such a thing, but he had no other way. After all, the people inside Shishienjin(Four Violet Flames Formation) had already run away. Even if he wanted to chase them now, he did not know where to chase them. There was no way to chase.
"Forget it!"
"Clean it up now."
"People who are not seriously injured deal with the wounded first!"
"The rest deal with the bodies."
"The seriously wounded are the priority!"
The Iwagakure Captain rubbed his forehead. The place where his arm was broken still felt very painful. Now, it was a little numb. The most important thing that made him decide to focus on the wounded because their Iwagakure's camp had been burned down. The tools to deal with the corpses were no longer there. There was no way to do anything about it.
What they could do now was to identify which body parts belong to them.
Then, these corpses or body parts would be moved together and dealt with further. However, he was very clear in his heart that there was no other way to deal with it except for burning it.
"Yes!"
After hearing Captain's words, the Iwagakure ninjas on the scene responded one after another. After that, they dispersed and began to carry out different operations.
...
On the other side.
It was not far from here.
This was where Aoba had used his shadow clone previously.
There was a Flying Thunder God Formula left behind here.
The space-time seal that Aoba had mentioned earlier was to use a special sealing technique to pack the Flying Thunder God Technique within, thus achieving the effect of spacial transfer.
Hum!
When Aoba had just cast the space-time seal, the two people, Aoba and Eaton, in the coverage had directly appeared here.
"This..."
Eaton widened his eyes. He was still in shock and had not completely recovered.
A completed teleportation!
Although the setup was a little longer, the effect was done very well.
"Shh..."
Aoba placed a finger in front of Eaton. At this time, he motioned for the latter to not make a sound.
"We haven't gone far!" Aoba said in a low voice. He raised his eyes and signaled for Eaton to look ahead.
"Huh?"
Eaton immediately looked in the direction that Aoba indicated. Almost in an instant, his eyes passed through the gaps in the trees and saw the figure of a moving Iwagakure ninja. This chapter's initial release occurred on the N0v3l--Biin site.
"This..."
Eaton thought that they had left a long distance away, but he did not expect that they were actually still here. They only changed their location slightly.
"Brother Eaton."
Aoba immediately patted Eaton's shoulder. His expression was extremely serious as he said, "We can't stay here for long. What we need to do now is to hurry back to Konohagakure."
"Return to Konohagakure?" Eaton was stunned again. He thought that after what Aoba said before, he would not want to return to Konohagakure. After all, he and Aoba had already guessed that it was Hiruzen who wanted to harm them. That was why he was like this.
"Why not go back!"
Aoba narrowed his eyes slightly. An imperceptible cold light flashed in his eyes. Now, it was Hiruzen who had attacked him. This kind of thing was not so easy to let go of.
"Konohagakure is my home."
"Of course, I have to go home!"
"Besides..."
"Since Sandaime-sama wants to kill me..."
"Then I decided to leave the village because of this, then it is just a chance for him to define us as traitors?"
"The more he wants to kill me!"
"The more I want to go back!"
"He can't kill me so easily in the village, can he?"
Aoba said one sentence after another, and he said something that shocked Eaton greatly.
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 411: An Old Actor!
Eaton didn't know what words to use to describe his feelings!
According to his understanding as well as the methods of most ninjas in this world.
Being wronged like this.
They would definitely choose to become a traitor in a fit of anger!
No one could stand it!
No one could bear it!
But...
Aoba actually wanted to go back.
Wasn't this knowing that there were tigers in the mountain and yet you still going to the mountain?
All of a sudden.
Eaton's impression of Aoba changed greatly, and the way he looked at Aoba also changed.
Especially the series of remarks that Aoba had just made.
He now felt that it was incredible and shocking, but it was still quite reasonable. After all, even if Hiruzen wanted to harm them again after returning to Konohagakure, there was no such big excuse and reason.
"This time, our frontline army was defeated, and the two of us escaped and smoothly brought precious information to Konohagakure. This itself is a matter of contribution to the village, so we don't have to worry too much." Aoba said slowly.
"En..."
Eaton nodded.
He understood the reasoning.
But who could actually do such a thing?
Very few people could endure such grievances.
But...
Aoba wanted to do this.
Eaton suddenly felt that Aoba was very terrifying. Ordinary people would not have this kind of forbearance and it was also very difficult to maintain a low profile and humility when possessing such sealing strength.
After all...
If not for the fact that Danzo was injured and he went to find Aoba, then the fact that Aoba had mastered medical ninjutsu and was able to execute it so perfectly might still be hidden until now.
This was a bit too powerful!
As for the sealing techniques and barriers that Aoba had never displayed before, they had far surpassed his understanding to a certain extent.
"Are we going back now?"
Eaton could not help but ask. He still felt that this matter was a little too outrageous. At least, if he was lucky enough to survive the battlefield, then he would not return to Konohagakure and start a new life somewhere.
"Yes, we will go back immediately. There may be Iwagakure's ninjas outside at any time. This way, it will be very dangerous for us!"
Aoba immediately nodded. After that, he pointed to the forest in front of them.
That was the direction of Konohagakure.
At the same time, it is also the direction away from the battlefield.
"Now, let's walk lightly!"
Aoba said to Eaton. After he said these words, he began to tiptoe forward. From his posture, it seemed that he did not want people to notice him. The debut release occurred at N-ov3l-B(j)n.
"En!"
Eaton nodded. Even he himself did not feel it. Now, their roles had changed.
Now, it was no longer Aoba who listened to him.
It had already become him listening to Aoba.
Immediately after.
Eaton followed behind Aoba. The two of them quietly left the forest and began to return to Konohagakure.
...
After Iwagakure's ninjas had cleaned up the corpses, they were waiting for the captain's orders.
Among them.
An Iwagakure ninja was returning at an extremely fast speed.
This ninja had just gone to ask their captain.
The order he received was to burn all the corpses here.
Iwagakure's corpse must be destroyed and could not be left outside. As for Konohagakure's corpse, logically speaking, it should be brought back for research. However, there were quite a few injured people this time. Moreover, Iwagakure's camp had been burned down, so there was no more equipment left.
He was helpless.
He could only order to burn the corpse.
Swish!
Just as the Iwagakure ninja was heading back into the corpse pile direction, a stream of light suddenly shot out from the side.
This stream of light was too fast.
It was so fast that the ninja didn't even have time to react to what was going on. He had already lost his life and fallen to the ground, devoid of any signs of life.
Swish!
Another stream of light appeared behind this stream of light.
It was Aoba's shadow clone.
It turned out.
The thing that had just flown out was the kunai that Aoba threw out.
The throw was extremely precise.
The Iwagakure ninja did not even have time to react before he died here. Until he died, he still did not know what had happened.
Aoba pressed his right hand on the head of this Iwagakure ninja and instantly read this person's memory. He also received the ninjutsu reward.
"Go!"
Aoba's right hand took advantage of the momentum and pushed this corpse into the grass. There was hardly any abnormality visible from the outside.
After that.
Aoba walked in the direction of the pile of corpses according to the memory of this Iwagakure ninja.
As he walked.
The paper on his body flew up.
He instantly changed his appearance, making him look exactly the same as the Iwagakure ninja just now. Even the movements were perfectly imitated, and there was no problem at all.
He was an old actor!
Aoba's clone quickly returned to the place where Iwagakure's ninja piled up the corpses. Looking at Iwagakure's ninjas standing guard here, he nodded at them.
"All of you, come here."
"I will explain to the captain's order."
"Walk a little closer."
Aoba said to the Iwagakure ninjas present. He did not want to make any big movements. Of course, he could still do such a thing with his current strength. However, it was not efficient.
The Iwagakure's ninjas walked over in a daze. Each of them had a question mark on their head.
"How should we deal with it?"
"Is it burning?"
"Just say it!"
"What's there to keep us in suspense?"
"What's going on?"
"..."
These Iwagakure ninjas were very dissatisfied with Aoba's way of speaking, but they still came over and pricked up their ears to listen to what Aoba wanted to say.
"Captain's order is..."
Aoba deliberately dragged out his voice. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile. Only he knew what this smile meant.
In a split second.
Silver light flashed.
Blood splattered everywhere.
All of them opened their eyes wide. Before they knew what was going on, they died just like that.
"The order is..."
"To let you all lie down here together."
"It's just that..."
"This is not an order from your Captain."
"But my order!"
Chapter 412: Add Another Fire
Aoba's voice had changed from imitating the Iwagakure ninja to his original voice. This was also the last voice that these Iwagakure ninjas heard in their last moments.
After that.
Everyone's vitality dissipated.
Everyone was so dead that they couldn't die anymore!
What was left in front of Aoba was a pile of corpses.
Most of them were the corpses of Konohagakure ninjas, followed by the corpses of Iwagakure ninjas. Almost every corpse was a bloody mess. It could be seen that they had experienced a relatively heavy battle before their death.
"You can go with peace of mind!"
"I'm here to take care of your funeral!"
"No one will be able to disturb your peace after your deaths!"
Aoba said coldly. The meaning he expressed was very clear. The personal information and materials of these people would all be clear. No one would have the chance to be resurrected.
Even if it was Edo Tensei.
It required human tissues.
Now, none of these things will be left behind.
Aoba raised his hands and controlled the chakra on his body.
Accurately speaking, this was Aoba's shadow clone.
Bang! Bang! Bang!...
One shadow clone after another appeared in front of this mountain of corpses. These were shadow clones. Along with the appearance of these shadow clones, they all raised their right hand and touched the heads of these corpses.
At this time.
What these shadow clones needed to do was to read the memories of these dead people.
This would allow him to grasp more information.
Of course.
He could also obtain more ninjutsu.
Even if this ninjutsu might be repeated in the end, it was still better than nothing. No matter how small the mosquito leg was, it was still meat.
Aoba would not ignore these things because the rewards of reading these people's memories were not particularly important to him anymore.
Aoba's clones quickly read the corpse's memories.
A series of memories flooded into their brain.
The crisp electronic prompt kept ringing, constantly reminding Aoba's clone of what kind of ninjutsu he had obtained.
Gradually.
Half an hour passed.
Bang! Bang! Bang!...
Aoba's clones all release themselves after completing the mission. Only Aoba's first shadow clone remained here.
"Today, you guys are lucky. I'll give you guys some Corpse Dissolving Water. If it was anyone else, they wouldn't be treated like this!"
Aoba took out a bottle of Corpse Dissolving Water from his ninja pouch.
Recently, he had not used Corpse Dissolving Water. Last time, he had gotten a lot of Corpse Dissolving Water from Orochimaru. Now, his supply was still very rich.
Aoba opened Corpse Dissolving Water's bottle and dripped the liquid onto the pile of corpses.
Sizzle~ Sizzle~ Sizzle~ Sizzle~ ...
As the Corpse Dissolving Water landed on the corpses, the corpses immediately emitted white smoke. After that, it quickly melted at a speed visible to the naked eye. The entire process was very fast.
"Goodbye."
Aoba's clone watched as the corpses quickly melted under the effects of Corpse Dissolving Water. After that, he release himself and returned to Aoba's body together with the memories he had read from here.
...
Hum!
Aoba, who was running, suddenly felt his head shake. After that, it quickly disappeared. During this process, his expression did not change at all, as if nothing had happened.
'It was done!'
Aoba understood in his heart that Iwagakure's corpse had already been dealt with, and he also knew Iwagakure's attitude.
This war would definitely be continued!
But because he had burned down Iwagakure's camp!
The remaining Iwagakure ninjas would not be able to stay at the border, so they could only return to Iwagakure to replenish their supplies. To a certain extent, it also bought Konohagakure time.
...
As time passed.
Three days passed.
Aoba and Eaton had already arrived not too far away from Konohagakure.
"Aoba, are you sure you really want to go back? It's not too late for us to regret it now. After all, we don't know what Sandaime-sama is thinking."
Eaton said cautiously.
He didn't have as much information as Aoba, so he didn't know about this matter, especially about the matter of the Uzumaki Clan ninja.
Right now, he knew very little.
The most direct thing was that Hiruzen harm them by sending them to the battlefield and not stabbing them directly.
It was precisely because he know little information.
It caused him to feel great fear of the future and unknown things. The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became.
"Brother Eaton, what are you afraid of? We didn't do anything wrong. The one who did something wrong was Sandaime-sama. Moreover..."
Aoba looked at Eaton. When he said this, his tone paused slightly and immediately attracted Eaton's attention.
After that, he continued.
"Moreover, your wife and son are still with Konohagakure. If you give up at this time, how will they live in the future?"
It could be said that Aoba directly used his trump card.
Eaton was a very family-oriented person. During his free time at work, he often played interactive games with his wife. He changes different tricks almost every day. It could be said that he was very diligent, and the same was true for his son.
He had just experienced the baptism on the battlefield and was mentally prepared to not go back, so he forgot this matter for a moment.
Now, after Aoba's reminder.
He immediately realized.
He wanted to go back.
He had to go back!
"Is it really okay for us to go back?" Eaton still couldn't help but ask. He didn't know how big an impact these things had on him. What kind of things would he have to face when he went back? There was a lot of confusion in his mind.
"Trust me, it would be no problem. Not only will Sandaime-sama not harm us again, but he will also welcome our return!" This chapter's initial release occurred on the N0v3l--Biin site.
Aoba nodded and said.
There was a basis for what he said.
It was just that this basis could not be told to Eaton.
The reason was simple.
That was, there was a flood in Konohagakure.
This flood was sprayed by his advanced paper clone disguised as Satsuma Rentaro.
This could be said to directly void the connection and relationship between them.
At this time.
Hiruzen should have changed his strategy. As for what it had become, he needed to go back and take a good look.
Moreover.
With Aoba's control over the situation.
He needs to add another fire to this battle.
Otherwise, who knew when this long and drawn-out battle would completely erupt to the point where everyone's eyes would turn red from killing each other?
He had to create an opportunity for Minato to harvest!
Aoba silently pondered. With the current situation, he was very clear that Minato might return at any time. If he was not prepared, then it would be another story.
It may end up being a wedding dress for Hiruzen!

Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer #Chapter 413: Return to Konohagakure - Read Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer Chapter 413: Return to Konohagakure Online - All Page - Novel Bin
Chapter 413: Return to Konohagakure
It could be said that no one knew the current situation better than Aoba.
After all, Aoba was someone who had transmigrated.
Before he came to the ninja world, he had watched Naruto and knew what had happened in the follow-up plot.
He was very clear about this Third Ninja World War.
He knew it very well.
Now, he had become the mastermind behind the Third Ninja World War. From the start of the conflict to the current situation, he could be said to have pushed it all along.
After all, if he did not push it, then there were still a few more years before the Third Ninja World War broke out.
Except when the war started and now at this point in time.
He can't be said to be well aware of what's going on around him, but he can be said to be the one with the most information in the ninja world.
Even the Kage of the various villages did not have rich information like Aoba had.
With powerful information as support.
There was a very large information gap between Aoba and the others, and this information gap helps him to think and judge to a certain extent.
"We're here!"
Aoba looked at the Konohagakure's main entrance in front of him. This time, he did not come out for long. It was as if he had gone out to play. There was almost no sense of unfamiliarity.
After all, he had not left completely when he had left.
His shadow clone still remained here and sprayed a lot of water.
Moreover, there were other shadow clones watching every move here, preparing to carry out different strategies at any time to deal with all kinds of things that might happen.
"..."
Eaton sucked in a breath of cold air. His thoughts were completely different from Aoba's. He wasn't that relaxed, nor was he that open-minded. Right now, he was still extremely nervous.
As for when he saw Konohagakure...
He felt as if he had been in a different world.
It was as if he had been walking for a very, very long time. He couldn't even remember how long he had been walking, but in fact, it didn't take long. This sudden battle caused a completely different change in his inner emotions.
"Let's go back."
Aoba glanced at Eaton once again. Then, he strode directly toward Konohagakure's main entrance. There was no fear on his face at all. It was as if he was completely not worried about such a thing.

"Alright!"
Eaton was in a heavy mood. He followed behind Aoba mechanically. He looked a little depressed. It seemed that he had something in his heart and was not completely relieved. This directly led to his current state.
The two of them entered one after another.
They walked slowly.
Soon, they arrived at the main entrance.
At this time, the ninjas guarding the entrance were already standing at the entrance. They saw Aoba and Eaton from a distance.
"Eaton-sama!"
The ninjas guarding the entrance had no intention of stopping them. They immediately bowed to Eaton with respect in their eyes.
After all, this was Konohagakure Intelligence Division's Captain!
Such a person.
They could not afford to offend him.
As for Aoba...
He had been completely ignored by them.
"En."
Eaton nodded at these people. When he met these people, he had already returned to his usual appearance. Other than being unsmiling, he looked very serious.
"We are going to see Sandaime-sama." This chapter was first shared on the N0v3l-B1n platform.
Eaton spoke and glance at them. When he said these words, a very complicated feeling arose in his heart. However, he still restrained it and did not express it too strongly.
"Yes!"
After hearing Eaton's words, the ninjas guarding the entrance opened up a path. They all knew that this was Konohagakure's ninja. There was no need to stop him. Moreover, no one wanted to make things difficult for someone like Eaton.
After that.
Aoba and Eaton stepped into Konohagakure and walked toward the Hokage Building.
...
At this moment.
In the Hokage's office.
Hiruzen could be said to be very busy these days because of everything that had popped out. Not only did it affect his judgment, but it also made him a little unsure of how to proceed.
Ads by Pubfuture
Danzo was still recuperating.
At this point, it was still not good to trouble Danzo.
But he himself already felt that it was difficult to survive alone.
"That Satsuma Rentaro should not be an Uzumaki Clan ninja, but who is that ninja from the Uzumaki Clan?"
In the past few days, Hiruzen had been repeatedly thinking about this question. After all, there were too many things involved in the Uzumaki Clan's matter. If he was even a little careless, it would affect his position as the Hokage.
This was something he did not want to see.
"If I had known earlier I would not let Eaton go out, at least Eaton would have been able to contact that ninja from the Uzumaki Clan. Now, even if I wanted to contact that ninja, there would be no way..."
Hiruzen raised his hand to rub his temples. He felt that things were getting more and more complicated. He was not sure if that ninja from the Uzumaki Clan had followed Eaton to the front line, which made the identification mission go into a blind spot.
Knock Knock Knock...
At this time, the sound of knocking sounded.
"Come in."
Hiruzen put away the hand that was rubbing his temple. He did not want people to think that he was very tired recently. It did not match the Hokage image. When the Hokage handled matters, he had to be at ease. He had to be very calm and indifferent.
Creak!
The door of the Hokage's office opened.
The person who came in was the Hokage's office advisor, Nara Shikaku.
"Hokage-sama!"
After entering the office, Shikaku immediately bowed to Hiruzen. After a period of adaptation, he was no longer as impatient as before.
"Why are you here?" Hiruzen asked lightly.
"Yes." Shikaku nodded. He was silent for a moment as if he was organizing his words. After that, he slowly said, "Morino Eaton is back."
"What?!"
After hearing this, Hiruzen suddenly widened his eyes. He was just thinking about Eaton, but now he heard Eaton was back.
This was too much of a coincidence!
"Quick, let him in!"
Hiruzen was not in a hurry to think about why Eaton had returned at this time. However, he wanted to see Eaton immediately and ask the latter if there was any way to let the mysterious medical ninja come out again.
Let him see Danzo again?!
Was it possible for him to conduct another round of medical treatment?
After all...
He found that he was not so proficient in doing things without Danzo. He still needed Danzo's powerful assistance!

Chapter 414: All Dead!
Hiruzen had no time to think about why Eaton had returned to Konohagakure. Now, he found that the situation was gradually out of his control. He was a little confused.
"Yes."
Shikaku nodded. After that, he left the office and walked out. His face was slightly complicated. Even he did not know why these two people suddenly came back.
According to the calculations at this time!
Shouldn't they have just arrived at the front line not long ago?
Did something happen at the front?
Question marks popped up on Shikaku's head. He did not say these questions, but he was already thinking about these questions in his mind.
After all...
This involved something that he found strange.
...
At this moment.
Aoba and Eaton were waiting outside the Hokage Building.
Aoba's face was indifferent, and there were almost no emotional fluctuations. He looked like an emotionless ninja.
As for Eaton...
He was not as calm as Aoba.
Although he came here in name to see Hiruzen, he was extremely nervous and did not know how to face Hiruzen.
After all.
He had already decided that Hiruzen wanted to kill them in his heart. The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B1(j)n.
Step, step, step, step...
Along with a series of footsteps, Shikaku walked out quickly. He first glanced at Eaton and then quickly looked at Aoba. Then, he turned his attention back to Eaton.
"Eaton-sama, please follow me!"
Shikaku said to Eaton. After that, he raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
"En!"
Eaton took a deep breath.
At this point in time.
The cannon was at the entrance of the cave, so he had no choice but to enter. Otherwise, wouldn't he become a cowardly turtle?
He threw out all the fear he had, treating himself as a living dead man. After all, he had crawled out of the battlefield, and only he and Aoba were the survivors.
Aoba followed behind Eaton, not saying a word and maintaining his silence.
On the way back.
Aoba could say all kinds of opinions.
He could lead Eaton toward Konohagakure.
However.
After entering Konohagakure.
Eaton was his superior.
He still had to follow behind Eaton and hide, not revealing any problems at all.
Soon.
Shikaku brought Eaton and Aoba to the second floor of the building.
Eaton looked at the door of the office in front of him. He had already made up his mind. This time, he was very determined and did not have any other thoughts. He directly raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Knock Knock Knock...
A series of knocks sounded.
"Come in."
Hiruzen's low and magnetic voice passed through the door of the Hokage's office, clearly transmitted into the corridor and into Eaton's ears.
Eaton's heart was now calm.
It could be said that he was not afraid of anything.
Creak!
Eaton directly pushed open the door and walked in. In an instant, he met Hiruzen's gaze. At this time, his heart was no longer so reverent when he saw Hiruzen.
Hiruzen was the Hokage of Konohagakure.
All decisions in the village were decided by this person!
In the past...
He felt that the Hokage was right in everything.
Even if he were to order to die immediately, he would be a very professional ninja who would do something like sacrificing his body.
However.
Everything had changed.
He found that Hiruzen was becoming less and less like a Hokage.
Ever since he asked Aoba to save Danzo and was followed, he had discovered that things here were becoming more and more complicated. He gradually began to doubt Hiruzen's philosophy and was no longer so trusting.
People were often like this!
When things that he had always trusted found out that he was not the same as he had imagined, and even began to collapse, then it would often be accompanied by the collapse of his beliefs.
"Sandaime-sama."
Eaton stared at Hiruzen indifferently. The fear that he was imagining now, from the moment he saw Hiruzen here, he had not felt so much. Now, he could even look at the person in front of him calmly.
"Eaton, why did you suddenly come back? Did something happen at the front line?" Hiruzen immediately asked. Just as Shikaku went to invite Eaton in, he suddenly realized that Eaton had already gone to the front line. Now that he suddenly came back, he felt that things were not so simple.
Eaton did not answer Hiruzen's question immediately. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and stared at Hiruzen.
He did not know why.
He felt that Hiruzen's question was very hypocritical.
After all, they had gone to the front line, so he should probably have a little idea why they had come back!
But...
Now it seemed.
Hiruzen seemed to know nothing.
To him, this was extremely hypocritical. He had a strong prejudice against Hiruzen in the first place, so no matter what Hiruzen did now, he felt that there was something wrong with Hiruzen.
"Sigh..."
After a while, Eaton slowly let out a sigh of relief.
His gaze was still fixed on Hiruzen.
The whole process seemed to be very complicated.
"What exactly happened?"
Hiruzen looked at Eaton's appearance, and question marks appeared on his face. Until now, he still did not know what Eaton wanted to express.
It wasn't just Hiruzen.
Even Shikaku, who was standing at the side, widened his eyes. His eyes were filled with doubt. In his impression, Eaton was not such a person!
"All dead."
Eaton indifferently said this sentence. His words did not seem to have any emotions, but in fact, they contained extremely deep grief.
Those who died on the front lines.
All of them were Konohagakure Intelligence Division's people whom he got along with day and night.
Now, apart from Aoba, none of these people came back. These were all thanks to this Third Hokage in front of him.
Moreover.
If not for the strange sealing technique that Aoba made.
He might not even have the chance to run back.
After all, Iwagakure had so many ninjas left. Even if he had three heads and six arms, he could not completely block them. In the end, he would still be submerged in the sea of people.
"What?!"
Hiruzen suddenly stood up. He did not understand what Eaton meant, but he had an extremely bad premonition in his heart. This made him seem to realize something.

Chapter 415: Hiruzen's Shock
Hiruzen stared at Eaton. He wanted to see some clues from Eaton's expression and he already had an extremely bad feeling in his heart.
On the other side.
Shikaku stared at Eaton. His reaction was faster. He looked at Aoba, who was standing on the side, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
"It's like this..."
Eaton stared coldly at Hiruzen. He did not feel that this person's shock was real at all. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed like he was cooperating with him to act.
It could only be said that his acting was really good!
It was clearly he who sent them, sensor ninjas, to the battlefield.
But now he looked very innocent.
It was as if he did not know anything.
This kind of thing.
He could not accept it in his heart.
"When we arrived at the front line, we had already set up our tents. At that time, our Captain, who is the Hokage's Anbu Captain, told us to wait for Iwagakure to attack!"
Eaton said what he was angry about.
When he said these words.
He also stared at Hiruzen coldly.
He believed that the Hokage's Anbu Captain's decision was Hiruzen's decision. There would not be any accidents. He definitely had not wronged Hiruzen.
As a result, there was a trace of aggressiveness in his tone.
When Hiruzen heard this, his face also calmed down. He knew that this was what he said, and he did not feel that there was any problem.
He could not declare war against Iwagakure in advance.
In that way, they still have some chances to recover, and the war would not start!
Only if there was no war.
Then, as the Hokage, he would not have any bad political achievements. Even if he did not make any contributions but he must not make any mistakes, so he could continue to sit firmly in the Hokage position.
"We are just like this in the tent, waiting for Iwagakure to attack. Sandaime-sama, do you know what the funniest thing is?" When Eaton spoke of his emotions, his tone was already filled with dissatisfaction. Moreover, he no longer had that much respect for Hiruzen, so he did not care about his tone at all.
"What?" Hiruzen seemed to have been led by Eaton's nose as he directly asked without thinking.
"That is, we really did wait for Iwagakure's surprise attack!"
Eaton widened his eyes as he spoke.
His eyes were filled with anger.
Right now, he felt that Hiruzen's "broad view" was to send them to their deaths.
"Hiss..."
Shikaku sucked in a breath of cold air. There was already a picture in his head. He had already guessed what kind of scene this was. A group of Konohagakure ninjas who were usually in charge of collecting information was attacked by Iwagakure's combat ninjas.
This must be extremely painful!
Together with the words 'All dead' that Eaton had just said.
Now he probably knew what was going on here.
"We were attacked by extremely powerful firepower. The number of Iwagakure ninjas is at least four or five times that of us. Moreover, they were well-trained combat troops. It is not something that we, who usually read memories and collect information, can compare with!" Eaton said coldly.
"When you said all dead, could it be..." Hiruzen suddenly widened his eyes, and panic flashed in his eyes. At this time, he was a little afraid in his heart and realized the seriousness of the matter. He did not expect Iwagakure did not even negotiate and directly launched an attack. This did not conform to common sense at all!
It was completely out of his expectations.
Based on his understanding of Onoki.
Before the war, there was time to meet, negotiate, and bargain.
He had even prepared himself for Onoki to open his mouth like a lion. If he could solve the problem with compensation, it would not be a problem.
There was no such thing as compensation.
Then he would lower his head.
This was not a problem for him.
As long as he could keep his position as the Hokage, it would be fine. This chapter was first shared on the N0v3l-B1n platform.
But...
He had never expected this.
Onoki didn't even negotiate and directly launched a sneak attack.
"This is starting a war!"
Hiruzen said coldly. He already understood why Eaton had come back this time. He also understood why there was resentment in Eaton's tone of voice.
It was clear that he was blaming his decision-making mistakes.
However.
This was indeed his mistake.
Hiruzen was very clear.
He was responsible.
"Sandaime-sama, you are right. They are going to start a war, and they are going to start a war from the very beginning. You know that Iwagakure is coming to us to start a war and many ninjas can be sent out, but why do you let us sensor ninjas take the lead?" Eaton gritted his teeth and asked.
As soon as this question came out.
Hiruzen immediately fell silent.
He did not speak.
After all, there was really no way to say what he was thinking.
On the other side.
Shikaku stared at Eaton doubtfully. He has the same question in his head. Why didn't Hiruzen send out some more powerful people?
He did not understand this decision at that time.
However, he did not ask Hiruzen.
Now that Eaton had asked this question, he followed along and listened. He had to know the answer here.
"Sandaime-sama!"
Seeing that Hiruzen did not speak, Eaton was even more certain of the latter's guilty conscience. His tone immediately became unfriendly as he stared fixedly at Hiruzen's face.
"Don't tell me you want to sacrifice us?"
Eaton directly asked what he wanted to ask. He didn't mind the matter of tearing his face apart anymore. Now that he had returned to Konohagakure, he had already realized that this realization was completely different from what Aoba had said.
"How is this possible!"
Hiruzen immediately shook his head. He did have this kind of thought in his heart, but it was impossible to admit it under such circumstances. As long as he admitted it, he would have a problem.
"There is no such thing!"
Hiruzen denied again. After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath and said, "This situation is really beyond my expectations. I really did not expect that Iwagakure would suddenly launch a sneak attack..."
Aoba looked at Hiruzen silently, as if he was an outsider, not saying a word.
Indeed.
Hiruzen's judgment was right.
Normally speaking.
Onoki was here to negotiate.
However.
Aoba catalyzed the process. He took the lead in attacking Iwagakure as a Konoha ninja. This also allowed the story to quickly enter this stage.

Chapter 416: Third Kazekage
Facing Eaton's question, Hiruzen was already a little confused. This situation was completely out of his expectations. Even now, he still felt that it was a bit inconceivable. He never thought of it at all.
This matter had happened too suddenly!
Iwagakure actually went directly to sneak attack without saying a word.
This kind of thing actually happened to the greedy Onoki.
All of this did not make sense.
It was not what Hiruzen had expected.
However.
This was exactly what happened.
After hearing Eaton's question, Hiruzen understood that there was a mistake in his decision, but there was no way to explain it.
"I really never think this would happen!"
Hiruzen shook his head. His face turned pale. Although he sent out these people this time, he was a little selfish and wanted to see if he could find out who was the ninja from the Uzumaki Clan. But he never expected that it would end up like this.
"Sandaime-sama..."
Eaton looked at Hiruzen, and the anger in his heart dissipated a lot. He did not want to be too aggressive. After all, this was still Konohagakure, and Hiruzen had the final say.
Of course.
His anger dissipated.
It was only because he had become calm.
It had nothing to do with Hiruzen's attitude.
At this time.
In his eyes.
Hiruzen could be said to be synonymous with hypocrisy!
"Iwagakure launched a surprise attack on us. In the end, under a very coincidental situation, only the two of us came back alive. Now, Iwagakure's ninja army will probably march straight into the Country of Fire territory. I think we have to send capable people to guard the border!"
Eaton told Hiruzen his opinion.
No matter what.
He was after all a Konohagakure's people.
Right now, he did have a problem with Hiruzen, but he would not affect the rise and fall of the village because of his own personal opinion. This was not something that he, as Konohagakure Intelligence Division Captain, could do.
"I understand!" The debut release of this chapter happened at N0v3l--B1n.
Hiruzen immediately nodded. After that, he walked toward Eaton and patted his shoulder with both hands.
"Eaton!"
"It's great that you can come back!"
"Fortunately, you brought back such important information!"
"You stay here and wait..."
"I have something else to say to you!"
After saying that.
Hiruzen turned to look at Aoba. He did not care how Aoba survived. What was important was that he knew that Aoba's identity had nothing to do with the people he was searching for.
"Aoba, are you tired? You can go back and rest!"
Hiruzen gave the order to leave. He did not care much about Aoba's opinion. After all, to him, Aoba was just a small character.
"Yes."
Aoba nodded. He did not intend to stay here. After he exchanged a look with Eaton, he immediately left.
When Aoba left.
Shikaku also left.
He left this place to Eaton.
As Hokage Building Advisor. He understood that the most important thing was to assess the situation. Now, it was obvious that Hiruzen wanted to talk to Eaton about some more private topics. At this time, he should leave this place wisely.
...
Aoba walked in front.
Shikaku followed behind.
The two of them maintained a stable distance, one in front and one behind.
Soon.
Aoba went down the stairs and walked toward the entrance of the building. Just as he reached the entrance, a voice sounded from behind him.
"Aoba, there is something I am very curious about. Since you escaped from the front line, why is there no trace of injury on your body?"
Shikaku's voice slowly sounded.
There was a questioning tone in his voice.
Suddenly.
Aoba stopped in his tracks.
He stood at the building entrance and slowly turned his head around. He stared at Shikaku who was not far behind him, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up into a wicked smile.
"Make a guess!"
Aoba's tone was slightly mischievous as if he was joking with an acquaintance. After he finished speaking, the corners of his mouth curled up even higher, and he no longer cared about Shikaku.
"Be more serious." Shikaku immediately frowned. He was now a Hokage Building Advisor, not an ordinary person. Knowing that he was an official, Aoba could not casually talk to him like this.
"Brother Shikaku, your imagination has always been very rich. You can even guess that I cheated on the exam. Then why am I not injured? Can't you guess?"
Aoba smiled and shook his head. Then, he did not explain anything and walked away.
Shikaku did not chase after him.
He watched Aoba disappear from his sight seriously.
He knew.
When Aoba does not want to say it.
Then he definitely wouldn't say it.
It was useless to chase after him.
He was just asking to be humiliated.
"What is the reason?"
Shikaku pinched his chin and thought. He had a very strong feeling that something was going on here. However, he couldn't tell what was wrong. The doubts in his heart became even stronger.
...
After Aoba left the building, he directly walked in the direction of Anbu's dormitory.
He did not explain anything to Shikaku.
The reason was very simple.
There was nothing to say.
He couldn't use the truth to explain, and he couldn't say that he used space-time ninjutsu. It was fine if Eaton knew about it, but Shikaku couldn't.
So...
He could only tell lies.
However.
No matter what kind of lies he said, or even if he told the truth, in Shikaku's eyes, this could be a lie and then he will speculate.
Rather than this.
It was better to let Shikaku directly speculate!
This way, he was also happy to be idle.
...
Aoba soon returned to Anbu's dormitory. After creating a shadow clone in his room, the shadow clone figure suddenly flashed away.
Swish.
Aoba's clone used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) and appear in a forest. This was not a place in Konohagakure, but a place close to the front line.
It was also the place where he left with Eaton not long ago.
The pieces of paper on the clone's body flew up. At this time, he had already become another person. This person was Sunagakure's Third Kazekage.
After Aoba's clone changed into the Third Kazekage's appearance, he controlled the chakra in his hand and slapped it toward the ground.
The magnet release chakra started to draw out the iron matter on the ground, forming black particles. These particles were iron sand.
Immediately after.
The shape of the iron sand changed.
It directly turned into a disk.
He stepped on the disk and instantly rose into the air, feeling as if he had become Green Goblin.

Chapter 417: Sabaku Soso(Sand Burial)!
Aoba clone's flying speed in the air was fast.
Such a scene.
If Third Kazekage saw it, he would be extremely shocked.
This kind of speed was something that the Third Kazekage had never had before.
Aoba stood on the pitch-black iron disk and quickly flew in Iwagakure's direction. He did not see any ninjas in his sight.
This was a very normal thing.
Iwagakure's camp had already been burned down. Even if they won, they would not continue to stay here. They would definitely return to the village.
However.
Their speed of returning to the village was definitely not as fast as Aoba and Eaton, who were in light clothing.
After all.
Aoba and Eaton were not injured.
The two speeded up their journey a lot.
The time they took to return to Konohagakure was extremely short.
On the other hand, on Iwagakure's side.
There were a lot of people.
This was not good for traveling at a fast speed.
In addition, there were many injured people in Iwagakure's camp, and these injured people had to be supported, so naturally, they would slow down by a lot.
What Aoba needed to do now.
It was to imitate the Third Kazekage and catch up with these people.
As for why he only started chasing now...
Aoba had to at least make an illusion that the Third Kazekage had chased after them after he found out what was going on. This chapter was first shared on the N0v3l-B1n platform.
Otherwise, when they had just left and the Third Kazekage have come. That was too fake. It would make Iwagakure think that the Third Kazekage has some relation with Konohagakure.
Gradually.
Aoba increased his speed.
He had to catch up.
It would be awkward if he could not catch up.
...
Half a day later.
Aoba, who had turned into the Third Kazekage, saw people at the end of the barren stone field not far away.
Those people were all Iwagakure's ninjas.
'Found it!'
Aoba's eyes lit up slightly. He immediately began to speed up. Like a stream of light, he quickly chased after the Iwagakure ninjas.
This kind of change.
It immediately attracted Iwagakure's attention.
"There is a situation!"
"There is someone behind!"
"Someone is coming!"
"What's going on?"
"How can this person fly?"
"..."
Voices of surprise and bewilderment rang out. Among Iwagakure's ninjas, everyone looked at the figure that quickly appeared behind them in confusion. A big question mark appeared in their heads.
They had never seen such a scene before.
Now they were even more confused.
In their knowledge, the ninjas who could fly were their Third Tsuchikage Onoki.
Under the gaze of these Iwagakure ninjas.
Aoba's arrived and quickly jumped down.
Boom!
Along with the sound of an object falling, a figure stepped on the rocky ground and his whole body was exposed in front of the Iwagakure ninjas.
"The Third Kazekage!"
When the Iwagakure ninjas saw Aoba's appearance clearly, they all widened their eyes. They had already recognized this person's identity.
"Kazekage-sama has personally come. I wonder what is the matter?"
Iwagakure's Captain immediately stood up. He was the highest commander here. In this situation, he had to come out.
However.
Before he came out.
He had already arranged for a ninja to quickly rush to Iwagakure to report to their Tsuchikage-sama.
There was still quite a distance between them and Iwagakure.
If a person ran at the speed of a ninja, it would still take about thirty minutes. But even so, they still had to inform their Tsuchikage-sama.
"Kill."
Aoba's said indifferently. As he spoke, he immediately raised his right hand. His actions were not the same as the Third Kazekage's, but more like Gaara's when he was controlling the sand.
The black iron sand on the ground immediately attacked Iwagakure Captain. It was extremely fast and did not give him any space to think. It directly tied this person up.
"You..."
This Iwagakure's Captain opened his eyes wide. His eyes were filled with shock. He didn't even know what was going on. However, just as he was about to speak, iron sand directly blocked his mouth and fiercely stuffed it into his mouth. It was stuffed very deeply, filled to the brim, and directly stabbed into the depths of his throat.
"Wuuu..."
This Iwagakure's Captain found that he could no longer say a word. This situation made him incomparably painful, and the doubts in his heart became deeper. Why did the Third Kazekage directly target him when he went up to talk to him?
"Sabaku Soso(Sand Burial)!"
Aoba silently spat out this word. This was a word that Gaara often said. Before Aoba transmigrated to the ninja world, he was infatuated with this phrase when he watch Naruto.
Bang!!!!!!
As Aoba finished speaking, the iron sand surrounding the Iwagakure Captain immediately compress forcefully. The pressure that erupted instantly caused a loud explosion.
Puchi!
Under the impact of the iron sand compression.
The Iwagakure Captain's body was instantly crushed into minced meat. Along with the splash of blood, many pieces of debris fell on the faces of Iwagakure ninjas.
At this time.
The Iwagakure ninjas opened their eyes wide.
There are bloody things on their faces that even they themselves don't know what it was.
This made everyone feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Run!"
It was unknown who among the crowd said this sentence, but it directly hit everyone's heart. They were not timid people, but when they encountered such a battle that was impossible to win, their hearts were like the Iwagakure Captain, who had been completely crushed by the iron sand.
Everyone here knew.
The Third Kazekage in front of them was known as the strongest Kazekage in history.
Their strength was not comparable at all.
Any one of them.
Neither of them was a match for the other.
If they continued to stay here, they would not be able to escape.
Then there was only death left.
Instantly.
Everyone wanted to run.
However.
Just at this time.
They found that their feet had been bound by the iron sand on the ground.
The iron sand had not yet crossed the ankles of these Iwagakure ninjas, but it was as if they were buried in the ground. They could not be pulled out and could not move at all.
"You want to leave..."
The corners of Aoba's mouth curled up into an evil smile. After that, he said, "It's already too late!"
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 418: How About Going to Your Tsuchikage Office?
"This..."
Every single one of Iwagakure's ninjas at the scene widened their eyes, and their eyes were filled with surprise.
Just as they were about to run away.
These black iron sands appeared on their feet, making them unable to move at all.
Now they couldn't move.
They couldn't run.
For a moment.
A deep sense of fear appeared on the faces of these Iwagakure ninjas.
After two rounds of fighting, they clearly understood the Third Kazekage's strength. This was not something they could deal with.
Perhaps...
Only their Tsuchikage-sama could do it.
At this moment, the black iron sand that wrapped around the bodies of these Iwagakure ninjas began to gradually increase. It climbed up their ankles and onto their knees, directly locking them in place.
The scene immediately became incomparably quiet.
No one dared to risk their lives.
Moreover, everyone smelled the scent of death at this time. L1terary-N0v3l hosted the first appearance of this chapter at N0vel.B1n.
They had just seen how their captain died. That scene was still echoing in their minds, and they would never forget it for the rest of their lives.
Now, they saw that they were also wrapped in the same black iron sand.
It was inevitable that they would think of the same thing.
Gradually.
Everyone's face became gloomy.
The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.
Aoba's clone silently looked at these Iwagakure ninjas. He was oppressing these people psychologically. After he finished what he said just now, he didn't say anything.
When Aoba's clone did not speak.
These Iwagakure ninjas were even more afraid to speak.
The atmosphere became even more oppressive.
Most importantly...
These people felt that the black iron sand that was constantly surging toward the top of their bodies had an indescribable feeling. They felt that this thing compresses along with their body at any time, making them unable to relax.
This was like the blade of a guillotine hanging above their head.
No one knew when would it fall and chopped down their heads.
...
Time slowly passed.
The hearts of these Iwagakure ninjas were already on the verge of collapse.
This kind of silent oppression made them feel seconds were like a year.
But there was no way.
They thought about it many times and wanted to shout, "Hurry up! Give me a quick death!"
However.
When the words reached their mouth, no one was able to say them out loud. In the end, they could only endure it.
But since this was not something that they endure alone and was something that every Iwagakure ninjas present endured together. This imperceptibly increased each other's strength.
After all, it will not be them alone if they give up, but a group of them.
The other party hadn't made a move yet.
Then there was still hope.
If they really couldn't keep their cool and said what they shouldn't have said.
Forcing the other party to make a move.
That would be an even greater loss.
...
Aoba's clone silently watched everything that was happening in front of him. He didn't say anything, nor did he do anything. It wasn't that he didn't dare to do anything, but that he didn't want to.
If he wanted to.
All of the ninjas here would be dead.
As a result.
Konohagakure's enemies were gone.
Hiruzen would be able to rest easy.
He could not do this.
He came this time.
That was to make Hiruzen some enemies.
So.
He didn't kill these people and deliberately kept them, so as to lure the emergence of the Third Tsuchikage Onoki.
...
Slowly.
Another ten minutes passed.
A short figure quickly streaked across the sky and rushed over. It was the Third Tsuchikage Onoki.
Onoki was still very young.
He was not the little old man he saw in anime.
Even his hair was still black.
"Kazekage-dono, isn't it a bit unreasonable for you to act so directly? Is there anything that you can't talk about?"
Onoki's voice slowly came from afar. He had already seen his ninjas, and they were under the opponent's hands.
In other words.
These people were all the opponent's hostages.
For Onoki.
He didn't dare to say anything tough. These ninjas could be said to be the village's backbone. If all of them died here, not to mention fighting with Konohagakure or Kumogakure, even defending against foreign enemies would become more difficult.
However.
At this moment.
Onoki had many questions in his head.
When did the Third Kazekage become so strong?
According to the information he got...
Wasn't this person injured after fighting with Hanzo?
Could it be that the information was fake?
Onoki slowly approached Aoba's clone while thinking quickly. After getting close to a safe distance, he did not move forward again. Instead, he stared coldly at Aoba's clone disguised as the Third Kazekage.
This was not a simple matter!
The other party directly attacked.
He even restrained his ninjas.
Onoki was not a fool.
He could faintly feel it.
The other party was coming for him.
The purpose was to lure him out.
Therefore, he became even more careful.
"Tsuchikage-dono, there is something I want to talk to you about. I want to talk to you about Konohagakure, I wonder if you are interested?" Aoba's clone, who had transformed into the Third Kazekage, asked. He kept staring at Onoki while talking.
At this time.
Onoki floated in front of him.
The two of them looked at each other.
However, the feeling they gave off was completely different.
Aoba was very calm.
Onoki was even more hesitant about these things precisely because of Aoba's calmness. He was not sure what Aoba's goal was.
"What do you want to talk about?"
Onoki narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice. He vaguely felt that what the other party wanted to say might not be what the people present should listen to.
"Why don't we talk somewhere else?" Aoba smiled and said, "How about going to your Tsuchikage office?"
"You dare to come?" Onoki was stunned. Even if the other party was known as the strongest Kazekage, he was only a Kazekage. There was still a big gap between their strength.
"Why wouldn't I dare to come?"
Aoba shook his head lightly. Then he waved his hand, and the black iron sand on the ground instantly gathered around him, forming a black circle under his feet.
With the departure of the iron sand.
The Iwagakure ninja present suddenly felt their feet loosen, they had regained their freedom and regained their ability to move.
"You actually dare to let them go?!" Onoki couldn't help but admire the courage of this Third Kazekage in front of him. Everything he did was beyond his imagination.

Chapter 419: I Also Want to Attack Konohagakure
"What is there to be afraid of!"
Aoba's clone laughed again. His smile became incomparably brilliant, and his entire person looked extremely relaxed. There was no feeling of deliberately pretending.
"I stop them..."
"It's not to restrict you."
"It's just to let you out."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Aoba's clone said with a smile. The light in his eyes made Onoki extremely puzzled.
"What do you mean?"
Onoki frowned. He felt that his comprehension ability was already very strong, but he still didn't understand what the person in front of him want to express.
"You just want me to come out?"
Onoki felt a bit unbelievable. This reason was either not valid or a bit far-fetched. No, it was too far-fetched. Was this something a normal person could do?
Absolutely not!
Not to mention the person was still a village Kage!
Onoki felt that the person in front of him had other requests, but he didn't say them out loud.
"If I didn't trap them, would you be so nervous to run out immediately? I believe you already have an answer." Aoba said lightly.
"Since you want to go to my Tsuchikage office, you can come directly to Iwagakure. Do you not know the way?" Onoki was still puzzled.
"Absurd!"
Aoba immediately stopped Onoki, the smile on his face immediately disappeared, and his expression became very serious.
"I am a dignified Kazekage. How can I come to you personally? I must let you come out to greet me!"
When Aoba said this.
Not only Onoki's face turned ugly.
Even the faces of Iwagakure ninjas present became ugly.
At this time.
They all clearly realized that they had been used. The person who used them was the Third Kazekage in front of them. This made them feel very uncomfortable. It was even worse than death because they had humiliated their Tsuchikage-sama.
"Is that all you want?"
Onoki's impression of this Third Kazekage had formed a huge jump rope from just now, and it could even be said that it had fallen.
He had never seen such a thing. L1terary-N0v3l hosted the first appearance of this chapter at N0vel.B1n.
It was like a kid's joke.
Unreasonable!
If Onoki had not opened up the two battlefields in Konohagakure and Kumogakure, he would have attacked Sunagakure and made this brainless Third Kazekage pay the price for his frivolous behavior.
"Hahahahaha..."
When Aoba saw the change in Onoki's expression, he clearly understood that Onoki was angry, but Onoki didn't say it out loud. He was holding it in, and it should be very uncomfortable.
After all.
Iwagakure could no longer open up a new battlefield.
This was the reason why he used Kazekage's identity here. In the ninja world, his biggest golden finger was not the memory reading reward, but the intelligence that he obtained from reading the memory itself.
Intelligence was power!
Aoba could do many things based on this information.
For example.
Now.
He had already learned about Iwagakure's current situation through the memories of the dead Iwagakure ninjas.
"What are you laughing at?"
Onoki frowned even more. He felt that this Third Kazekage was looking down on people, but he had no choice. He could only let this happen. After all, he was limited by the current situation and had no other way.
He could only tolerate this person.
He hoped that things would go smoothly.
Onoki didn't know if this Third Kazekage find it or if he had gotten a bit of information. In short, this matter was stuck in his Achilles' heel, so he couldn't say anything too excessive to Third Kazekage. After all, Iwagakure couldn't fight three villages at the same time.
"Tsuchikage-dono!"
Aoba's voice sounded again. He stared at Onoki almost contemptuously. It seemed that he looked down on Onoki's IQ.
"I'm laughing at how cute you are."
"Do you think I don't know your current situation?"
"You are not only enemies with Kumogakure."
"You are also enemies with Konohagakure."
"In such a situation, are you still going to be enemies with our Sunagakure?"
"No matter what I say or do, you have no choice but to endure it. I asked you to come out to pick me up. Do you think this matter has wronged you?"
"Of course."
"The most important thing is..."
"If you and our Sunagakure form an alliance..."
"The ninja world will take on a new appearance."
"What do you think?"
A smile reappeared on Aoba's face. Through the information difference, he had clearly seen Iwagakure's current situation.
Just as Hiruzen had expected.
Onoki was a very greedy person.
The purpose of his attack on Konohagakure was to get benefits.
But now that the benefits had not come, and the war had really started, there was only one way to get benefits, and that was to win the war.
But winning was not that simple.
"What do you want?"
Onoki coldly stared at Aoba's clone. He felt more and more that this person was not kind. But since he was already here and said it to this place, he could only make it clear.
After all.
The current Iwagakure really could not afford to have another opponent.
"You will know in the future."
"For now, our interests are the same."
"You want to attack Konohagakure."
"I also want to attack Konohagakure."
"Then do you think we can sit down and have a good chat?"
Aoba said in a deep voice. After he said this sentence, his whole body emitted a powerful chakra fluctuation.
The purpose of this was very simple.
It was to show off to Onoki.
"Come with me!"
Onoki took a deep breath, he understood that there was no other choice but to compromise.
Now, the person in front of him led him by the nose.
"Hahahaha!"
When Aoba heard Onoki's compromise, his heart felt refreshed. He immediately controlled the iron sand under his feet and quickly flew in the Iwagakure's direction.

Chapter 420: I Can't Do It!
Aoba's clone was now using the Third Kazekage's identity. After all, it was not his own identity, so he did things without any scruples.
This was also where he feels happier.
He used his shadow clone to do all kinds of things.
As long as he felt danger.
He could retreat at any time.
The shadow clone could even directly remove himself, so he didn't have to worry about any other trouble. It could be said that he could come and go as he pleased.
Now, Aoba liked to use the shadow clone more and more to stir up trouble. It was because he had these advantages to support him, and to a certain extent, it was even more convenient than his main body.
"Onoki, hurry up, you're not old yet!"
Aoba's clone looked at Onoki as they slowly flew through the air. He immediately said this to Onoki.
Right now, he felt very good.
If not for him being a shadow clone, he would not tease Onoki like this.
After all.
If he appeared as the main body, then he would no longer be able to keep a low profile. In the future, matters and troubles would find him one by one.
This was not what he wanted to see at all.
Right now, he was still very satisfied with his state. L1terary-N0v3l hosted the first appearance of this chapter at N0vel.B1n.
He was just an ordinary member of the Konohagakure Intelligence Division]. Even his passing a Chunin Exams would be considered cheating, so would not be associated with the title of strong at all. He was very low-key.
"You..."
Onoki felt helpless after hearing Aoba's words.
"Do you think I don't want to hurry up?"
"I want to!"
"But I can't do it!"
Onoki said discontentedly. He could fly in the air because of Chokeijugan no Jutsu(Ultralight-Weight Rock Technique).
Aoba also knew this ninjutsu.
He had also used it several times.
The biggest use of this ninjutsu was to adjust the weight of the object, which could make the object very light.
This was the principle behind Onoki's flight.
By using Chokeijugan no Jutsu(Ultralight-Weight Rock Technique) to make his body very light, his weight could be ignored, so that he could fly in the sky.
But this kind of flight is an adjustment in the vertical field
To put it simply...
That was to control the weight of his body.
Onoki could flexibly adjust his flying height, but things like flying forward could only be done after he was proficient. To fly faster, he needs extra power to generate propulsion.
Because of this.
Onoki could only think about it in his heart.
There was simply no way to fly fast.
After hearing Aoba's ridicule, he felt helpless and didn't explain much, but he was still very unhappy.
Of course.
What Onoki doesn't know...
Aoba knew Chokeijugan no Jutsu(Ultralight-Weight Rock Technique)'s characteristics. He was not urging Onoki but said so on purpose.
For a moment.
Aoba's mood became much more comfortable.
It was not that he built happiness on the suffering of others.
Standing in his perspective.
Even if he did not completely put Konohagakure's life and death on his shoulders and did not have the intention to sacrifice his body for the village, Konohagakure was still the place he lived.
In his heart, he still did not want anything big to happen to Konohagakure.
Just like Kumogakure.
Iwagakure had always been eyeing Konohagakure covetously, always wanting to attack Konohagakure, which was related to Onoki's greed.
In the end, their positions were still different.
Aoba did not look at this ninja world from the perspective of God. He could not interfere with many things about Konohagakure, but he thought that he was still leaning more on Konohagakure's side.
Onoki.
In the end, he was still the enemy.
It made the enemy uncomfortable.
He was happy.
There was no problem with this!
At least Aoba did not think that he was up to no good. If he did not want to leave a mess for Minato, he would not have to play with Onoki like this.
...
Half an hour later.
Aoba followed behind Onoki and came to Iwagakure. Now he understood why he had waited for Onoki for so long, and why Onoki still needed Akatsuchi as a means of transportation despite the fact that he could fly.
It was too slow!
It made people anxious!
Of course.
Onoki was even more anxious and his forehead was full of sweat.
...
When Aoba followed Onoki to the sky above Iwagakure, the ninjas inside Iwagakure raised their heads and looked at Aoba and Onoki, their eyes full of doubts.
"What's going on?"
"Tsuchikage-sama..."
"Who is that man in black?"
"Why does he look like Sunagakure's Kazekage?"
"Why is the Kazekage here?"
"What the hell is going on?"
"..."
Iwagakure's ninjas started to discuss. There was a big question mark in their heads. They did not understand what was going on. They did not know the outside situation.
Onoki had noticed the doubts of Iwagakure's ninjas.
He wanted to explain.
But he didn't know how to explain it.
Because he didn't know what was going on either.
Right now, there were a lot of questions in his head that had not been solved.
"Kazekage-dono, let's go down. This is the Tsuchikage Building."
The Tsuchikage Building was a round, earthen-yellow building with the word "earth" written on it. It just so happened that the Tsuchikage Office has an open-air rooftop where they could land. It looks like Onoki's helipad, where he can take off and land at any time.
"Okay."
Aoba nodded. Through Magnet Release Bloodline Limit, he controlled the iron sand under his feet to bring him down calmly.
In fact, he didn't need to be so calm.
He could do it wilder.
However...
There was no need for that.
His current landing posture made him look very elegant.
Since he had borrowed the Third Kazekage's reputation to act, then he should not discredit the Third Kazekage's image. After all, he would still need it in the future.
Right after Onoki landed, Aoba slowly landed on the ground and steadily stepped on the ground.
Immediately after.
The iron sand under his feet began to change.
It directly formed a black iron gourd.
After the appearance of the iron sand gourd, the iron sand scattered around the surroundings surged toward the gourd, filling the iron sand gourd to the brim, and storing it all in preparation for using the magnet release later.
"Kazekage-dono, this move of yours is not bad." Onoki saw how the gourd was created and the iron sand storing process. He silently nodded. This way, there was no need to specially search for iron sand.

Chapter 421: You Losing and Him Losing Are Different!
Onoki vaguely felt some inspiration from the gourd, but it was the kind of invisible and intangible, and there was no way to feel it too deeply, and there was no way to transform it into his own.
"Yes..."
When Aoba heard Onoki, he smiled and shook his head, "I learned it from a child." The debut release of this chapter happened at N0v3l--B1n.
"Who is it?"
Onoki's eyes widened. He caught a lot of substantial information in Aoba's words.
A child.
This meant that there was a child with good talent.
Learned it.
This meant that the child should also have mastered Magnet Release Bloodline Limit.
Looks like...
Sunagakure had a successor!
This point.
It could be said that Onoki's heart was aching.
As he grew older, he began to look for the new Tsuchikage candidates. He had already realized that it was time to abdicate.
But...
He discovered a great tragedy.
There wasn't a single ninja that could do it in Iwagakure!
Not a single one!
Even the Jinchuriki's strength was only average!
It could only be that he, who possessed the Dust Release Bloodline Limit, continued to bitterly endure!
He couldn't even find a second dust release user.
This made him very worried about Iwagakure's future, so much so that he always wanted to expand as much as possible when he was still alive and contribute to Iwagakure's future.
He was different from Hiruzen.
There were countless potential newcomers behind Hiruzen.
It was just that Hiruzen was unwilling to give up his authority.
Because of this reason, Konohagakure changed from the age of geniuses to an age where talents withered.
If Hiruzen were to rule the Iwagakure, he would be very happy. That way, he could continue to occupy the Kage position without caring about any possible undercurrents.
Aoba looked at Onokii n a daze.
He didn't expect it.
He casually answer it yet the other party actually asked.
But he couldn't say it was Gaara!
"Gourd Baby."
Aoba said casually. He was now a mature old actor. He could enter the scene in a second. There was no need for too many emotions to brew. He can start the show without any ambiguity.
Making up information was such a thing.
For him.
It was even simpler than eating.
"Gourd Baby?"
Onoki's eyes widened. When he first heard this name, he felt that it was very funny. It was very childish to have such a sloppy name. But slowly, the more he thought about it, the more shocked he became.
What kind of child was this?
Named after the gourd.
It absolutely could not be underestimated.
It seems...
Sunagakure was not as simple as he thought.
For a moment.
Onoki immediately fell into silence.
He didn't know what to say.
"Let's go!"
Aoba looked at Onoki, who was shocked by the Gourd Baby's name. He waved his hand and urged, "You are the master of this place. You can't let me go in to welcome you!"
"Come in with me."
Onoki shook his head helplessly. He looked at Aoba with a touch of envy in his eyes. Now, even this Kazekage had a qualified successor. Only he could not see when a junior could make him retire at ease.
After that.
Onoki walked toward his office.
Aoba followed behind Onoki. He didn't know that Onoki was thinking about the future, but he could see that Onoki was very worried and thought that it was because he was next to him that Onoki felt conflicted.
A few minutes later.
Aoba sat on the chair in Onoki's office, and Onoki was sitting opposite him.
"Kazekage-dono, now we have sat down. There is no one here except you and me. You can tell me what you mean." Onoki said. He was completely pulled in.
"Work with me to attack Konoha," Aoba said casually.
"How do we work together?" Onoki saw that the other party was going straight to the point, so he didn't need to probe. After all, this Kazekage had already talked about it. Some vague words were meaningless.
"Tsuchikage-dono, I think the ninjas that were trapped by me were pretty good. Why did they retreat back?" Aoba asked with a smile.
"Retreat back..." Onoki frowned. After that, he shook his head helplessly and said: "I just got the information from the front line. Our camp was burned by a Konohagakure ninja. There was no way to stay there, so they could only helplessly retreat."
"When will you go there again?" Aoba asked directly, he has already started to lead Onoki by the nose.
"Um..." Onoki frowned even more. He really didn't want to answer Aoba's question, but now he couldn't easily offend Aoba, so he had to say it. He couldn't help but feel even more unhappy but he still said, "We need to have a meeting to study this."
"How about this..."
Aoba raised a finger and gently knocked on the table in front of him. The knocking had a strong rhythm.
"I'll arrange it with you."
"These ninjas will immediately prepare their needed equipment when they come back."
"Then go back to the front line immediately."
Aoba said one sentence after another. After he finished speaking, Onoki's face was full of black lines.
"I'm afraid this is not good." Onoki didn't think this matter was not good, but he felt that listening to Kazekage's arrangements was not good, so he found an excuse and said, "I have to let these ninjas rest for a few days."
"The war situation is changing rapidly. Right now, your pressure on Konohagakure is still there. Konohagakure will definitely send ninjas to the front line as soon as possible. When your ninja goes, the situation has changed." Aoba shook his head and said.
"Even if Konohagakure ninjas arrived first, they will not start a war. That old fox Hiruzen does not want a war to happen." Onoki also shook his head.
"What if the war has already happened?" The corners of Aoba's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a sneer. He understood why Iwagakure lose when they had gained a firm advantage in the early stage. The Kage on this side was also not a hard thing. So he added, "Hiruzen does not want the war to happen. Have you ever thought that once the war can not be avoided, would he wants to win more or lose?"
"How can there be someone who wants to lose?" Onoki said helplessly.
"No."
Aoba shook his finger at Onoki and said, "You losing and him losing are different!"
"What do you mean?" Onoki was stunned.
"If you lose, you are still the Tsuchikage. If he loses, he won't be the Hokage anymore. So... what do you think?" The corners of Aoba's mouth curved even higher.

Chapter 422: Everything Is For Benefit
The meaning in Aoba's words was quite deep. After he came to the ninja world, he had always been inside Konohagakure. It could be said that he was very clear about Hiruzen.
Of course.
He was not the only one who knew about Hiruzen.
There were also those people who competed with Konohagakure.
For example, Onoki.
You can also say that the people in Konohagakure don't know Hiruzen better than people in other villages.
After all, Hiruzen had always maintained a dignified image in Konohagakure.
But for the people of other villages.
It was clear that Hiruzen was a coward.
"You are right."
Onoki nodded. They all knew how timid Hiruzen was. In order to not fight, he could agree to almost any conditions.
But...
Once the war started.
That would be another story.
After all...
Onoki had participated in the Second Ninja World War. At that time, Iwagakure and Sunagakure couldn't hold on, but in order to not lose, Konohagakure directly sent out the Sannin.
This was not a simple matter!
"Kazekage-dono, what you mean is..."
Onoki's face became more serious. He understood what the Third Kazekage meant. This battle was unavoidable. After the war started, Hiruzen would go all out to obtain the final victory.
"What did I just say?" This chapter was first shared on the N0v3l-B1n platform.
Aoba deliberately pretended to forget what he had just said. After that, he suddenly showed a look of realization.
"I remember now."
"I said that your ninjas are pretty good."
"Now you prepare munitions for them."
"When they return to the village, let them return to the border."
"At this time..."
"The war has already begun."
"Any slight delay could lead to Konohagakure's victory."
"That's right."
"You have to remember one thing..."
"The people that Konohagakure would send this time are not the kind of sensor ninjas from last time.
Aoba said one sentence after another, and almost every sentence hit the point, causing Onoki to open his eyes wide.
"You... you..."
Onoki's mouth slightly twitched. He quickly digested Aoba's words because he thought that Aoba's words made a lot of sense.
"What is the purpose of you helping me make plans?"
Onoki stared at Aoba suspiciously. After he sorted out these words, he found that there was nothing good for the other party. It was like an advisor helping him to defeat Konohagakure.
For a moment.
Onoki was a little confused.
He was very clear.
There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
Now that this person came here and said so much, he must have his own purpose. Otherwise, he would definitely not do his best.
"I said from the beginning that we have a common enemy. I also want to attack Konohagakure." Aoba shook his head and said.
"If you want to attack Konohagakure, you don't have to help me, right?" Ohnoki asked stubbornly. At this point in time, the Kage in each village doesn't know how to change things, just like what Aoba said to Minato at that time.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend," Aoba said lightly.
"I don't agree." Onoki shook his head without hesitation. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Aoba, "The enemy of my enemy might still be my enemy."
"That depends on how you understand. If you insist on an explanation, then you can also say for benefit. Your Iwagakure's pressure on Konohagakure is too bad, causing us to have no time to attack Konohagakure. This should be fine, right?" Aoba said indifferently.
"As expected!"
Onoki smiled evilly as if Aoba's words hit his heart as if it was what he was thinking.
There was no mistake.
Everything was for benefit.
This Kazekage wanted Iwagakure's ninjas to attract Konohagakure's firepower.
As long as the pressure Iwagakure gave was strong enough.
Then Konohagakure's elite ninjas would be transferred to the front lines as much as possible.
This result was that the rear was empty.
It just gave Sunagakure the opportunity.
At this point.
Onoki felt that he already understood what this Kazekage was thinking. This person came here to say these words, not for Iwagakure's betterment, but for Sunagakure.
Everything was for benefit.
"Or else..."
Aoba sneered. He felt that Onoki was a bit naive, even a little cute.
"Do you think I'm here to do charity?"
"Using this kind of thing to help you Iwagakure attack Konohagakure."
"Then I won't get any benefits?"
"You are thinking too much!"
Aoba said coldly. He looked at Onoki with disdain. Now he had a new understanding of the Third Generation of Kage in the ninja world.
In his opinion, the Third Generation of Kage in the ninja world was a very successful generation.
However.
Now it seemed.
They were all people who had no vision.
It was a pain in the ass to do anything.
Otherwise...
With Hiruzen's cowardly personality.
Konohagakure had no way to stay in this world for so long.
It was not that Hiruzen was strong.
Or the other Kage were not that powerful.
It was just a matter of giving more benefits.
"I understand what you mean." Onoki didn't get angry after hearing the ridicule. Instead, he felt more at ease. He stared at the Aoba's face, who had turned into the Third Kazekage. He slowly said, "Then how should we divide the benefits you have obtained?"
"Good question!"
When Aoba heard Onoki's words, he immediately began to applaud. They hadn't defeated Konohagakure yet, but he was already thinking about the distribution of benefits.
The most important thing was...
Onoki still wanted to get some benefits from the other side.
Of course.
He didn't have this piece at all.
He wasn't the Third Kazekage.
But this also made him have to admire Onoki's tiny structure.
Perhaps.
Only when the moment of life and death came.
Onoki would release the brilliance of the so-called Will of Earth.
After the applause, the smile on Aoba's face became even wider. He did not answer Onoki's question. Instead, he stared at Onoki and asked another question.
"Then..."
"The benefits that you, Iwagakure, have obtained."
"How should we divide them?"
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 423: Who Was the More Critical and Important Part?
Aoba directly asked the question that Onoki had asked.
In fact, he did not need to say this.
After all, his purpose was not to fight for Sunagakure's benefits but to keep Iwagakure pressure Konohagakure, and even be in a more advantageous state during the war.
But...
Onoki's question really hit him.
It was ridiculous!
Aoba finally understood why the alliance agreement of the various villages in the ninja world was so fragile.
Not only was there no basic trust.
It also involved a very clear distribution of benefits.
These problems have caused the alliance itself to be not of one mind and make a huge rift.
For a moment.
After Aoba asked this question, he felt as if the conversation was about to collapse.
However.
He did not care about this.
After all, he was not the real Third Kazekage.
Even if Iwagakure and Sunagakure fought, it would not affect him at all.
"Kazekage-dono, this question of yours is not appropriate, right?"
Onoki squinted his eyes and tried his best to restrain his anger. He was really on the verge of erupting. This person really made him angry.
It was useless to be hard.
But with just a gentle press.
This person immediately bounced up.
"Oh?"
Aoba looked at Onoki with a smile.
"Tell me."
"What is wrong?"
"Why don't I feel it?"
Aoba deliberately said that. Of course, he knew what Onoki meant, but he just didn't say it. This made him feel like he was playing around, which greatly satisfied the sense of accomplishment in his heart.
"We, Iwagakure, used our ninjas to attack Konohagakure. Why should we allocate the benefits we obtained to you?" Onoki said unhappily. He was already using the best state he could control to talk. After all, what happened here really made him uncomfortable.
"I understand."
After hearing this, Aoba nodded without hesitation. His smile gradually changed from a deep meaning to a cold one.
"Then the benefits that we, Sunagakure, obtained were also won by our Sunagakure's ninjas. What does it have to do with you, Iwagakure? Why should we distribute it to you?"
Aoba imitated Onoki's words again.
In fact.
He didn't have to do this.
It was not a reasonable choice to start a conflict with Onoki.
However.
He just felt that the pattern of this person was not good enough.
What he said.
What he did.
If he was really the Third Kazekage...
He should be angry.
As an Oscar-winning actor, he had already entered the role the moment he changed, and his understanding of the character was very high.
"The reason why you, Sunagakure, can launch a sneak attack on Konohagakure is because of the situation that we, Iwagakure, have contributed. If not for our ninjas who attracted such a large amount of firepower from Konohagakure, would you have succeeded?" Onoki argued strongly. Other things were easy to deal with, but things like benefits could not be given away.
"Hahahahaha..." This chapter was first shared on the N0v3l-B1n platform.
When Aoba heard Onoki's words, he immediately laughed, as if he had heard a super funny joke. He laughed and shook his head.
"Is it that funny?" Onoki frowned. He could no longer remember how many times the other party had laughed at him like this. He felt that this was a humiliation to him.
"Yes."
Aoba nodded, still smiling.
"Onoki."
"I don't know what to say."
"You are too naive."
"You are so naive that you haven't seen the current situation clearly."
"Then let me tell you!"
When Aoba said this, his tone paused. He didn't finish his words but gave Onoki some space to calm down.
"Do you think that we, Sunagakure, are using your power to attack Konohagakure?"
"Have you ever thought about just relying only on you, Iwagakure..."
"Is it really possible to defeat Konohagakure?"
"Just the Uchiha clan, you already can't deal with it, let alone other ninjas!"
Aoba words were a bit unpleasant, but they were the truth. After all, he was a person who had transmigrated. In the Third Ninja World War, Iwagakure had the advantage in the beginning, but later, they gradually collapsed in the hands of the Fourth Hokage, Minato.
At that time, Iwagakure was not defeated. Instead, they negotiated and Hiruzen even gave compensation.
But if they really wanted to fight head-on, it would be impossible.
Iwagakure might not be a match for Konohagakure.
"You... you... you..."
Onoki pointed at Aoba. The veins on his forehead were bulging and his blood pressure was high. In fact, he had never attacked Konohagakure wantonly because he was afraid of the Uchiha clan.
For this clan.
Onoki had a natural sense of rejection and fear in his heart.
Because of what happened in the past.
Now, as long as he saw the Sharingan, he would think of Uchiha Madara, the one who played him.
Even if Madara was dead now.
He didn't dare to attack Konohagakure too deeply.
He was afraid that the Uchiha clan would send out another proud son of heaven, and fiercely press Iwagakure to the ground.
This wave of Aoba.
It was like opening a scar.
"So..."
"Onoki."
"Think about it."
"We, Sunagakure, ambushed Konohagakure."
"Then win the war."
"Who is the more critical and important part?"
"Who is it..."
"Are we relying on the other party?"
Aoba's successive questions almost made Onoki limp.
"This... This... This..." Onoki didn't know what to say. He felt something was wrong, but his brain didn't turn around. He didn't understand where the wrong part was.
"If I say this and you still don't know who is more important..." Aoba deliberately dragged his voice out, attracting Onoki's attention. After that, he said, "Then I will change the perspective!"
"What I mean is..."
"If."
"I won't cooperate with you anymore."
"I will help Konohagakure sneak attack your Iwagakure."
"What do you think?"
"Will Hiruzen be grateful enough to offer me a generous gift of thanks?"

Chapter 424: Let Me Think About It
When Aoba's voice entered Onoki's ears, he was stunned.
He couldn't say a word.
His eyes were wide open.
He was completely dumbfounded!
"What kind of logic is this..."
Onoki murmured in his heart. It was clearly the Third Kazekage who wanted to take advantage of Iwagakure to attract the attention of Konohagakure's main force and then sneak attack Konohagakure to gain a very good profit.
But...
He didn't think of it.
Third Kazekage actually became the factor to change the situation of the battle.
This meant that.
Even if he didn't want to agree, he had to agree.
As long as this Third Kazekage in front of him had a bit of unhappiness in his heart, this person would go to talk about cooperation with Konohagakure.
Hiruzen was a very timid person!
Now, the war had already begun.
In order to be able to win the war more steadily, it is not difficult for Hiruzen to be wronged.
"You are more important..."
Onoki forced himself to say this. He really didn't want to say this, but he also understood that if he didn't answer, then Third Kazekage might really join forces with Konohagakure. At that time, Konohagakure wouldn't be so easy to deal with.
"Now you understand!"
Aoba revealed a smile. He fooled Onoki and made him lame.
"Then let's talk about the division of benefits!"
Aoba was not pretending to say it. Instead, he asked it very seriously. This directly caused Onoki, who heard this sentence, to almost lose his breath.
Onoki was quite interested in the benefit part. Now that he had to give up this benefit, he didn't even have the enthusiasm to fight.
However.
He had to agree to Aoba's request.
Otherwise, this person would directly run to the opposite side and become his enemy.
"What ratio do you think is better..." Onoki's face was full of black lines. He knew that no matter what he said, Aoba would achieve his goal, so he might as well take the initiative to say it and try to gain the upper hand.
"9:1!"
Aoba said casually.
He did have the intention of deliberately making things difficult for Onoki.
However, this ratio had nothing to do with him. After he separated from Onoki, he would immediately cancel the shadow clone and stop using it.
Because of this.
What Aoba thought of was a high-proportion method.
Why not choose a number he was familiar with - 9:1?
"This..."
Onoki stared at Aoba hesitantly. He was ready to give up nearly half of the benefit, but he didn't expect that the other party would ask for so little. This ten percent was acceptable.
After all, when he heard that Aoba wanted to take part in the spoils, his heart was very confused. He didn't want to experience such a thing.
What he expected was to reach 40%.
However, to be able to receive Sunagakure's powerful help was still considered worthwhile. It was just that he had not expected it to be so little.
"Kazekage-dono, thank you!"
"Actually, you don't have to feel so wronged!"
"We can still change it to 8:2."
"Give more..."
Before Onoki could finish his words, he was interrupted by Aoba.
Aoba waved his hand at Onoki.
"No," Aoba said with a serious face.
"You are a noble and honorable man!" Onoki looked at Aoba and his impression of Third Kazekage completely changed.
"Huh?" Aoba saw Onoki's smile and immediately realized something. After that, his face tightened, and said, "Onoki, I think there is a misunderstanding here. I have to explain it again."
"What misunderstanding?" Onoki asked.
"I said 9:1. I will take 9, you take 1, do you understand?" Aoba said coldly. He wanted to give Onoki a sense of oppression, making him unhappy. He needs to find the critical point that Onoki could not bear and finally burst out all his anger, making him bring more pressure on Konohagakure on the battlefield.
"What did you say?!"
Onoki's expression changed after hearing Aoba's words. His face was full of horror, and his eyes were as wide as copper bells. He couldn't believe his ears.
"You really dare to take it!"
Onoki's mouth twitched. He thought he got 9, but now he found it was 1.
What made him feel the most exaggerated was...
The other party actually opened his mouth like a lion!
It was like a joke.
How could there be such a thing?
"Are you kidding me?"
Onoki stood up from his chair, but even if he stood up, he still looked up at Aoba. If he didn't use Chokeijugan no Jutsu(Ultralight-Weight Rock Technique) to fly, he still couldn't look down at Aoba.
"Do I look like I'm joking?"
Aoba didn't answer Onoki directly, but his face turned serious.
The fundamental purpose of this negotiation had been achieved.
No matter what the final result was, Onoki would send out the elite Iwagakure ninja to attack Konohagakure.
This was enough to give Konohagakure a sense of oppression.
The rest was not important.
No matter whether their negotiations went smoothly or not, there was no effect.
Because Aoba was not the Third Kazekage in the first place.
Because of this.
Aoba did not care about these things at all.
So. This chapter was first shared on the N0v3l-B1n platform.
He was looking for Onoki's bottom line.
He wanted to see how deep Onoki could bear.
This way, he would be able to understand Onoki's bottom line, and he would be able to communicate with Onoki more easily with other identities.
After all.
Know yourself, know your enemy, and you win every fight.
Since Aoba came to the ninja world, he has always occupied the information gap. For him, this part still has a lot of sweetness.
"You..."
Onoki's breathing became intense, his chest kept rising and falling, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he was in an extremely uncomfortable state.
Even so.
Onoki still maintained his rationality.
He didn't burst out.
He started to adjust his emotions so that he didn't look so anxious.
"Let me think about it."

Chapter 425: You Are Quite Smart!
Onoki's face was extremely gloomy. Since he was educated by Madara, he had never suffered such grievances.
At this time.
He was in an extremely bad mood.
However.
This phenomenon did not affect his rationality.
He was very clear about the current situation.
Iwagakure was already facing the fronts of two villages at the same time. Not only they were starting a war with Konohagakure, but they were also fighting with Kumogakure before.
If there was one more Sunagakure...
Then it was really a little unbearable!
In this way, among the four other major ninja villages, Iwagakure would face three of them. This was very difficult for him.
After all.
Onoki knew that he did not have the strength of the First Hokage Senju Hashirama.
It was impossible to rely on his own strength to intimidate the ninja world.
Therefore.
Now, the choice of Third Kazekage in front of him would directly decide the future direction of the ninja world.
Including their situation.
After all, it was impossible for them to face so many unexpected situations.
It was to the extent that even though he knew that the other party's demands were extremely harsh, he had no choice but to accept them, and there was no room for maneuvering at all.
As Onoki pondered, he raised his eyes and looked at Aoba disguised as the Third Kazekage, his eyes flashing with a complicated light.
He knew that the other party was taking advantage of the situation...
However.
He had to admit.
The other party's ability to seize opportunities was too strong!
He had simply found a perfect opportunity, making it impossible for him to deal with such a situation.
"Have you considered it?"
Aoba took in the changes in Onoki's expression. He could feel the changes in Onoki's mind. He understood that Onoki's bottom line had begun to lower. This is something that cannot be helped. He had to lower it even if he don't want to.
Because of this.
Aoba began to exert pressure on Onoki.
He didn't want Onoki to live so easily.
Moreover...
He was very clear in his heart.
How much he pressed Onoki now, how much Onoki will vent his emotions to Konohagakure.
After all.
Onoki could only vent his anger on Konohagakure.
"'8:2."
Onoki said in a deep voice. His face was extremely dark. Now the situation was too passive. He could only try to fight for a favorable situation as much as possible. As for the benefits, it was difficult to choose.
"No!"
After hearing Onoki's words, Aoba shook his head without hesitation and said, "I like 9:1, I think 9:1 is very good!"
"You..."
Onoki's face was very ugly. The other side did not give him a chance to think about it and just said it.
No.
In fact, strictly speaking.
It gave him a chance to consider.
What was considered was not other ratios, but whether 9:1 can be accepted.
"Kazekage-dono."
"It's not like you don't know about war."
"We, Iwagakure, will also have ninjas to consume!"
"You only leave ten percent for us..."
"Isn't it a bit too much!"
Onoki's voice was getting lower and lower. He was already on the verge of erupting, but he still endure. He had not lost his most basic sense of reason.
"Too much?" Aoba shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't think so. I also thought that Iwagakure would consume ninjas, so I left 10% for you. Is there a problem?"
"..."
Onoki was speechless. Since Madara, he had never been bullied like this.
"I'm too lazy to talk too much about this. I'll give you the last three minutes, and you can answer whether you agree!" Aoba said coldly. His tone was especially cold. He had already issued his final ultimatum, "If you agree, we, Sunagakure, will cooperate with you to sneak attack Konohagakure. If you don't cooperate, I will immediately go to the Third Hokage!"
"I agree."
When Onoki said these words, he almost used all his strength. After he finished speaking, he looked much older.
This was something he had no choice but to do.
Now, he was already being held here.
He couldn't go up or down.
He was in an extremely awkward situation.
It just so happened that this Third Kazekage found such an opportunity.
Otherwise...
He would rather not go to war than accept such a compromise.
The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt.
But he had to swallow this grievance.
Onoki felt the sorriest to Iwagakure's ninja. After this battle with Konohagakure, who knows how many people would die? In the end, only 10% of the benefits were obtained. This kind of thing could not even be stopped. This chapter was first shared on the N0v3l-B1n platform.
"Alright!"
Aoba nodded with satisfaction. After that, he walked toward Onoki step by step. He raised his left hand and made a handshake gesture.
"Happy cooperation!"
Aoba's hand was suspended in the air, waiting for Onoki to reach over.
When Onoki saw the Third Kazekage's action his eyes flashed with doubt.
"You..."
"You actually dare to be so close to me!"
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
Onoki was quite puzzled. In his knowledge, a Magnet Release Ninja's ability was biased toward long-range assault, especially when it came to fighting one against many, but the weakness was obvious, and that was the lack of close combat ability.
Now, the other party could be said to have directly exposed his weakness to him.
"You can give it a try."
The corners of Aoba's mouth slightly curled up, brimming with a confident smile. He waved his hand and said again, "Since I dare to reach out my hand, it means that you can't kill me. Moreover, the one who doesn't dare to shake hands now is you."
"Interesting." Onoki suddenly found that he couldn't understand this Third Kazekage. He immediately raised his hand and shook hands with Aoba. He was not afraid, he was more confident in his strength.
The two people shook hands.
Onoki felt like his palm was being grabbed by a pair of iron pliers.
Can't move at all.
"This..."
Onoki immediately understood the source of Kazekage's confidence. The second person he could think of with such physical strength was Kumogakure's Raikage.
"You hid it so well!"
Onoki suddenly realized that the Third Kazekage, who was recognized in the ninja world as being incapable of close combat, was actually using the magnet release to hide his powerful body strength to make people underestimate him.
"Hahahaha..."
After hearing Onoki's words, Aoba immediately laughed. After that, he pulled Onoki's body with his left hand and directly pulled it towards him. His right hand rubbed Onoki's head, showing an appreciative gesture.
"You are quite smart!"
Chapter 426: Dust Release
"Ding Dong! Successfully Read Tsuchikage's Memory For The First Time! Obtained: Dust Release Bloodline Limit!"
The crisp electronic prompt rang in Aoba's mind, causing him to be stunned for a moment, unable to believe his ears.
Good fellow!
This was the Dust Release Bloodline Limit!
In fact, Aoba didn't have any expectations for high-end ninjutsu. After all, everything he had now was enough.
Many of them were not very useful in ordinary times.
However.
What he didn't expect was...
He actually directly obtained the Dust Release Technique.
This was good stuff!
Aoba had seen Naruto anime. The reason why Onoki was so powerful was because of this dust release.
Now he had the dust release.
This was simply too powerful in a strategic sense.
Not only could it directly improve his strength, but he could also play more tricks in playing the game.
At least now it looks like... L1terary-N0v3l hosted the first appearance of this chapter at N0vel.B1n.
He could disguise himself as Onoki.
"What are you doing..."
Onoki felt Aoba's hand on his head, which made him feel extremely humiliated.
It had been a long time since he had felt this way.
The key point was...
You just need to touch it!
Why do you keep your hands there and not take them off...
This was too much!
Onoki's face turned dark. He couldn't wait to kill this Third Kazekage, but he found that the gap between their strength was too big. He couldn't do such a thing.
"Hahahahaha..."
Aoba immediately let go of Onoki and moved his right hand away from Onoki's head. After this, he was in a good mood and didn't want to continue to fight Onoki.
He had said everything that needed to be said.
He had done everything that needed to be done.
It was time to go back now.
"Onoki, I'm leaving. Remember the agreement between us. I will ask for it from you!"
After Aoba said this, his figure flashed and he disappeared.
Onoki was the only one left in the Tsuchikage Office.
"Damn it!" Onoki said fiercely.
He hadn't felt so powerless for a long time.
He was in a bad mood.
"Someone come!"
Onoki immediately shouted toward the door. Along with his voice, several ninjas came in from outside the office. Everyone lowered their heads so the expression on their face couldn't be seen.
"Pass on my order, gather the ninjas, and prepare to attack Konohagakure!"
Onoki was greatly wronged. He had no other way to vent, so he had to blame everything on Konohagakure and just wanted to attack them.
He had agreed to 9:1 but that was just verbal agreement.
Even if they had signed an official document.
In this chaotic era, it was also very fragile. If one did not want to carry it out, then one would not carry it out. It almost did not have any binding power.
The only thing that could create restrictions...
It was powerful strength!
Just like the First Hokage Senju Hashirama. As long as this person was still alive, no matter if there was any treaty, it could make the experts of various countries fear him.
But...
He couldn't even deal with a Kazekage.
Not to mention the First Hokage.
Onoki only felt that he was in a difficult spot, but he was not completely desperate. He vaguely felt that this attack on Konohagakure was an opportunity for him.
Perhaps he could gain more benefits from the battle with Konohagakure and reverse the situation between him and the Third Kazekage.
...
Konohagakure, Anbu's dormitory.
Aoba lay on the bed with his eyes closed. He was in a relaxed state. Now he was very satisfied with his low-profile life. Hiruzen did not even ask about his coming back alive. Instead, he ignored him directly.
Hum!
All of a sudden.
Aoba's body suddenly shook. At the same time, memory fragments poured into Aoba's brain and into his consciousness.
These fragments had the scenes that the shadow clone had experienced.
It also had Onoki's memories that the shadow clone read.
What shocked him the most was the dust release he had obtained.
"This is too cool!"
Aoba couldn't help but exclaim. He could clearly feel that the dust release had already been engraved into his body. As long as he wanted to, he could use it at any time. There was no difficulty at all.
"Let me try."
With a thought, Aoba raised his hands, and the chakra in his body transformed into dust-release chakra, surging toward his palm.
"Jinton(Dust Release)!"
At the place where Aoba's palm met, a transparent cube immediately appeared. Overall, it was white. In the place where the cube was covered, there were many changes. A small sphere appeared, enough to turn everything that came into contact into dust particles.
Following the change in Aoba's mind.
The shape of the cube in his palm also changed.
From a cube to a sphere, then from a sphere to a triangular cone, changing into various types of geometric bodies. In the middle of each geometric body, there was a small sphere.
"So that's how it is!"
Aoba controlled the dust-release geometric body in his hand, keeping it in his hand and constantly changing.
"The geometric body was the scope of dust release and the small sphere in the inner part is the true core of the dust release."
"I didn't expect dust release to have so many rules."
"Now that I have mastered dust release, the identity that I can use can be further improved."
"At least..."
"I can play Onoki's identity!"
When Aoba spoke up to here, his eyes flickered with a sharp light. At this time, it could be said that what he lacked the most was identity.
For him to be able to become a variety of people through the advanced paper clone technique meant that he had many identities. This was something that no one else could do.
But...
He did not have an overly high-end identity among them.
Small fights were fine.
However, it was difficult to reach the height of the ninja world. Kazekage was one of them, but he was almost the only one.
It was different now.
Now that he had mastered the dust release, he could use Onoki's identity.
With a thought, Aoba made a series of hand seals and controlling the chakra within his body, two shadow clones that looked exactly the same as Aoba appeared.
Immediately after.
Pieces of paper flew up and down on the bodies of these two shadow clones. They quickly changed into Onoki's appearance!
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 427: This Is Going to Be Mine in the Future!
The two Onoki appear before Aoba.
These two people look exactly the same, even acquaintances may not be able to tell them apart. Moreover, there was also the Dust Escape Bloodline Limit which was a symbol of identity
It can be completely faked.
"You guys can go."
Aoba faintly said, his gaze sweeping over the two advanced paper clones who turned into Onoki.
The two clones used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) at the same time and instantly disappeared.
"Let's continue waiting for the news."
Aoba lay on the bed again and enjoyed the treatment as if he was on vacation. He had nothing to do every day.
...
Country of Wind, Sunagakure.
A very short figure suddenly appeared at the edge of the jungle. This was the place where a Flying Thunder God Formula Aoba had placed before.
This figure was Aoba's advanced paper clone, who had already turned into Onoki.
Aoba's clone used Chokeijugan no Jutsu(Ultralight-Weight Rock Technique) and his body seemed to have lost its weight and floated up.
Aoba flew above Sunagakure.
Aoba did not hide at all. When he flew toward Sunagakure, he was already noticed by the sentry on the wall.
"There's a situation!"
"Enemy can fly!"
"Enemy attack!"
"Attention!"
"..."
The ninjas on the wall spread the news in all directions. Everyone would pay attention to such a thing.
There was a very simple reason here.
That was to fly!
One must know...
In the entire ninja world, it was extremely rare for ninjas who could fly.
Just based on this alone.
It was easy to determine that Aoba, who had flown over, was definitely an expert.
However...
Aoba did not think too much about it. He only had one purpose for coming here now, and that was to meet the Third Kazekage.
"So it's Tsuchikage-dono!"
At this time, a voice sounded from below. The owner of the voice was standing on the roof of a building. His face was calm and indifferent without any fear. It was Sunagakure's Third Kazekage.
"Kazekage-dono, how have you been?" Aoba said with a smile.
"I wonder what Tsuchikage-dono is doing here?" Third Kazekage asked coldly. He didn't have a good impression of Tsuchikage, so his tone was not friendly.
"Let's go to your office and talk."
When Aoba finished speaking, he began to control Chokeijugan no Jutsu(Ultralight-Weight Rock Technique) and began to fall toward the Third Kazekage.
The next moment.
Under the gazes of the Sunagakure people, Aoba landed beside the Third Kazekage. After that, he nodded at Third Kazekage.
"Let's go!"
After Aoba finished speaking, he took the lead and walked toward Kazekage Building.
He had read the Third Kazekage's memories before.
Although the follow-up memories could not be refreshed, just by relying on the previous memories, he was familiar with Kazekage Building.
For a moment.
The Third Kazekage stared blankly at Aoba disguised as Onoki as he walked toward the Kazekage Building. A bunch of question marks appeared in his head. He did not know why the other party was so familiar with this place as if this was the back garden of the other party's home.
"Isn't this too much!"
The Third Kazekage was already caught unprepared by the sudden appearance of Onoki. He was not ready to let Onoki enter Kazekage Building. This was simply breaking his bottom line.
However.
Although he was very angry, he still did not say it.
Not long after. L1terary-N0v3l hosted the first appearance of this chapter at N0vel.B1n.
Third Kazekage followed Aoba to the Kazekage Building and stared directly at Aoba, who was familiar with the road as if this was the other party's place.
"Tsuchikage-dono, I didn't expect you to have such deep information about my Sunagakure. You can actually find my office area so skillfully. Should I praise you?" The Third Kazekage said in a strange tone. In his heart, he was very disdainful of Onoki.
"Yes!"
Aoba slowly nodded. He found that the Third Kazekage character was really not different from Onoki.
He was able to fool Onoki by playing the Third Kazekage, and now it seems that there was still a lot of luck
"This place will belong to me in the future!"
"Of course, I want to come and take a look!"
"This way, I will know how to plan out Sunagakure's area!"
Aoba's tone was light as if he was speaking very casually. However, his words made the Third Kazekage, who was beside him, start to be stunned.
"You want to annex Sunagakure?" The Third Kazekage immediately asked.
"That's right." Aoba disguised as Onoki nodded.
"Tsuchikage-dono, as far as I know, you are already fighting with Konohagakure and Iwagakure at the same time. Do you want Sunagakure to join and let us join forces to deal with you?" The Third Kazekage felt that this kind of thing sounded strange. He could not help but add, "Isn't your appetite a little too big?"
"Hahahahaha..."
Aoba immediately raised his head and laughed, as if he had heard something particularly funny.
"Kazekage-dono, that's enough. With your little village, what can you compare with Konohagakure and Kumogakure!"
"I alone can easily destroy your Sunagakure!"
"I will find you now..."
"Then it means that there are still things we can talk about!"
"This concerns the life and death of your Sunagakure. You have to think carefully!"
Aoba said one sentence after another. His tone revealed an unquestionable determination. This attitude was different from Onoki's. However, he felt that there was no big problem. When it was time to have an attitude, he had to have an attitude.
"Tsuchikage-dono, if I understand what you just said correctly, you mean that if I do not make an agreement with you, you will personally destroy Sunagakure. Is there a problem with my understanding?" The expression on Third Kazekage's face was full of disdain and indifference.
"You can understand it this way."
Aoba nodded. His gaze had always been focused on the Third Kazekage. The reason why he could bully the Third Kazekage like this was that even if this Third Kazekage was known as the strongest Kazekage and his strength should not be underestimated. However, it was still not enough in his eyes.
"If you don't agree, then things will be troublesome."
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 428: This Old Man Is Full of Evil Tricks!
After hearing Aoba's words, the Third Kazekage's face suddenly turned cold and his eyes were filled with anger.
For Sunagakure...
This was not a good time at the moment.
They had just engaged in a bitter battle with Amegakure. The ninjas in the village were either dead or injured. Now was the time to recuperate.
Whether it was to deal with Iwagakure or to attack Konohagakure.
Now was not the time to continue fighting.
The Third Kazekage originally thought that things would pass just like this, maintaining the relative peace between Sunagakure and other ninja villages, and no longer participated in the follow-up battles of the Third Ninja World War.
But...
The heavens didn't grant his wish.
They didn't want to start a battle, but if someone wanted to start a battle, trouble would directly find them, and they couldn't stay out of it at all.
"Tsuchikage-dono, do you mean that we, Sunagakure, must fight?" The color of Third Kazekage's face became increasingly ugly.
"That's right!" Aoba disguised as Onoki nodded with a smile on his face. He said, "You, Sunagakure, must fight. Either fight with us or fight with us against Konohagakure. There is no other choice."
"Are you sure you want to force me like this?" The Third Kazekage narrowed his eyes slightly, and his body emitted a dangerous aura as if he was about to fight.
"That's right," Aoba said with an aggressive smile.
"You..."
The Third Kazekage stared at Aoba but his eyes reflected Onoki's appearance. He knew his own strength. Facing Onoki, it was almost impossible to win.
Since things had come to this.
There was no other way but to face it.
Thinking of this.
The sharpness in Third Kazekage's eyes decreased a lot.
"If we, Sunagakure, agree to sneak attack Konohagakure, what benefits can we get?" The Third Kazekage asked in a deep voice.
"You can take away 90% of the spoils from our Iwagakure!" Aoba said with a smile.
"What did you say?!"
The Third Kazekage immediately widened his eyes, his eyes filled with disbelief. He could not believe his ears.
"You want to give 90% to me?"
"Did I hear it wrong?"
"What you want to say is that you take 90%, right?"
"Tsuchikage-dono."
"It's better to say something like this clearly!"
"Don't try to challenge my weak spot!"
Third Kazekage felt that either he had heard wrongly or this Tsuchikage in front of him had said something wrong. How could the other party give 90% so easily? How could this kind of pie fall from the sky appear? Even if it did appear, it would not be his turn.
"You did not hear wrongly."
Aoba still had a smile on his face, looking harmless.
"I will give you ninety percent."
"We are not attacking Konohagakure for benefits."
"We are attacking to show off our strength!"
"So as long as you are willing to help me!"
"Then 90% of the benefits will be yours!"
"I have made it clear enough!"
Aoba said one sentence after another. He did not want this Third Kazekage to believe him, but to make the other party not believe him.
Only if you don't believe it, the following things will be easier to do.
After Aoba said this.
The Third Kazekage became silent.
The atmosphere in Kazekage Office suddenly became strange.
A moment later.
The Third Kazekage slowly nodded.
"Since Tsuchikage-dono is so sincere, then I will accept it. Don't worry, when your Iwagakure attack Konohagakure, we will launch a sneak attack on Konohagakure. We will ensure that the attack will succeed and not leave any future troubles!" The Third Kazekage immediately patted his chest and nodded at Aoba.
"Then it's a deal!"
Aoba imitated Onoki's posture, his feet slowly left the ground, and he flew out.
"I'll go back and prepare to attack. You better keep up with me, otherwise, I don't mind my Iwagakure ninjas rushing to your Sunagakure!"
Aoba's voice was not loud, but it was not small. It would not let the whole village hear it, but at least the people around the Kazekage Office could hear it.
After he finished speaking.
Aoba slowly flew away from Sunagakure.
He came quickly and left quickly. He did not get a promise in the strict sense, let alone talked happily with the Third Kazekage, everything was mainly to make the Third Kazekage feel uncomfortable.
As long as the Third Kazekage was unhappy.
Then his goal had been achieved.
Aoba's clone, who had transformed into Onoki, suddenly disappeared after flying a distance away from Sunagakure. The shadow clone technique had already been removed.
Sunagakure, Kazekage Office.
The Third Kazekage looked in the direction that Aoba had left in. His face turned ferocious. He picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it on the ground.
Kacha!
Along with the sound of a collision, the teacup directly shattered into pieces.
"This old man is full of evil tricks!"
"I don't believe a single punctuation mark he says!"
"You want to give 90% to me!"
"Only an idiot will believe it!"
"Who in the whole ninja world doesn't know that you, Onoki, are extremely greedy!"
"Can anything good come out of your mouth?"
"It's just a joke!"
The Third Kazekage could not help but complain. He had a deep resentment towards Onoki, and now he felt that Onoki was a despicable villain.
If not for the fact that Sunagakure was greatly injured, there was no need to suffer such grievances here.
Now, if he close his eyes Onoki's cheap appearance would appear in front of him.
But the anger in his heart couldn't be vented.
"If I believe you, If Konohagakure is gone, it will be our Sunagakure turn!"
The Third Kazekage silently analyzed in his mind. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that Onoki had no good intentions. This time, it seemed that he was looking for Sunagakure to help him, but it could be said that he was not sincere. He could easily use force to force Sunagakure to stand on Iwagakure's side.
Of course.
He didn't think that 9:1 was sincere.
At least...
In the eyes of Third Kazekage... The debut release of this chapter happened at N0v3l--B1n.
The things that entered Onoki's mouth would not be spat out so easily!
"It seems that I have to do many plans!"
The Third Kazekage had already realized that the ninja world was different now, and the situation was beginning to become chaotic.

Chapter 429: Fourth Raikage
Country of Lightning, Kumogakure.
Aoba's other advanced paper clone came here.
It also has Onoki's appearance.
However, compared to the advanced paper clone that went to Sunagakure, this one was a little slower. After all, Aoba did not have Kumogakure's specific coordinates and could not directly use Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique).
When Aoba arrived at Kumogakure.
The advanced paper clone on Sunagakure's side had already completed his own task.
Not long after.
Aoba's clone appeared in front of Kumogakure's main entrance. He did not use his flying posture but instead walked over.
That slightly stooped figure formed a sharp contrast with Kumogakure's muscular and dark skin ninja guarding the entrance.
"Stop!"
The two ninjas guarding the entrance immediately saw Aoba's clone walking toward them. When they saw Aoba's short stature, their eyes revealed a hint of disdain.
"So it's Iwagakure's ninja!"
"You actually dare to come to our Kumogakure!"
"Get lost before we get angry!"
Kumogakure's ninja said coldly. They didn't have any good feelings for Iwagakure now. The reason was very simple. Not long ago, while Kirigakure and Kumogakure were fighting, Iwagakure took advantage of the situation and launched an attack on Kumogakure's base camp.
It was already very good that he could still talk to the other party and not capture him directly.
"Please inform your Raikage that I want to see him," Aoba said lightly. He did not care about Kumogakure's attitude at all. After all, these people were not targeting him, but Onoki he was impersonating.
"Did you make a mistake?"
"Are we not clear?"
"We told you to get lost!"
"Get lost immediately!"
The eyes of the two Kumogakure ninjas flashed with deep disgust. They hated Iwagakure ninjas very much and did not want to see this kind of forehead protector again. But from the perspective of a gatekeeper, they could not take the initiative to attack.
The most important thing was...
They had heard and understood the ninja world's current situation.
They understood that Iwagakure and Kumogakure had temporarily stopped fighting.
Such a situation.
If the two ninjas guarding the entrance were to act rashly.
It might cause a second war between the two villages. This was something that Kumogakure did not want to see. After fighting for so long, they were also a little tired and wanted to rest.
"Please inform."
Aoba said lightly. He did not feel any dissatisfaction because of the disgust of these two people. This was the benefit of using his identity. He knew that this identity was not his, and he also knew that this ridicule was not for him. Even if he lost face, he would lose Onoki's face.
"Are you still unwilling to leave?"
"Who do you think you are?"
"You can see Raikage-sama just because you want to?"
"Stop dreaming!"
The two Kumogakure ninjas felt like they had heard a joke. It had been a long time since they had heard such an interesting thing. A little old man from a hostile village actually wanted to see their Kumogakure, Raikage-sama. L1terary-N0v3l hosted the first appearance of this chapter at N0vel.B1n.
If a Raikage could be easily seen by anyone.
Then wouldn't their Raikage-sama be so busy?
Now, the two of them felt that there was something wrong with this person's head because this person ran to the enemy camp to do such a stupid thing.
"I am Iwagakure's Tsuchikage, Onoki of Both Scales!"
Aoba directly reported Onoki's name and title. He originally wanted to enter Kumogakure in a low profile. After all, his other clone had just appeared in Sunagakure not long ago. If two Onoki were to appear at the same time and with such a long distance, it would be difficult to explain it no matter how he thought about it.
However.
Right now, he couldn't care less.
The top priority was to settle this matter.
'Sigh...'
Originally, he wanted to keep a low profile and get along with these Kumogakure people.
What he got in return were indifference and alienation.
Now, he directly stopped pretending and revealed his cards. He was Onoki.
"Ah?!"
After hearing Aoba's words, the two ninjas guarding the entrance were both stunned, and their eyes revealed strong doubts and confusion.
"Tsuchikage?"
"You are the Tsuchikage?"
"How could the Tsuchikage come in person?"
"Is there something wrong with your head?"
The two ninjas guarding the entrance did not believe Aoba's words at all. This was completely illogical. There was no village Kage who was idle enough to run to the village of an enemy force without even bringing a guard. How could such a person be so reckless?
The thinking of normal people was not like this!
However...
Before they could think clearly.
Aoba's clone, who looked exactly like Onoki, slowly left the ground. After that, he directly flew up.
Such a scene reflected in the eyes of the two ninjas guarding the entrance, deeply shocking the young and helpless hearts of these two people.
"He can fly?!"
"Could he really be the Tsuchikage?"
"Oh my god!"
"..."
When the two ninjas saw Aoba directly rise into the air, they could not help but feel a strong shock.
There were not many ninjas in the ninja world who could fly.
Among them was the Third Tsuchikage.
Now, this person directly flew in front of them.
This characteristic coincided with the Third Tsuchikage.
All of a sudden.
The two Kumogakure gatekeepers seemed to realize that they had wrongly blamed the other party. This short old man seemed to really be the Third Tsuchikage.
After Aoba flew up, he immediately attracted the attention of many people. He did not feel much about this. He did not say a word and quickly floated in the direction of the Raikage Building.
Chi Chi Chi Chi...
Aoba had just flown for a moment when he heard the sound of lightning being released. After that, someone suddenly appear and raised his hand to chop at Aoba's chest.
"Lightning Chakra Mode!"
The moment Aoba saw this person, he couldn't see his appearance at all. He could only see the vague blue lightning arc and understood that this person used Lightning Chakra Mode.
Swish!
All of a sudden.
The hand knife in front of him slid down.
It was as if it was going to slash Aoba's chest.
"Is this all you can do?"
Aoba said indifferently. He clearly knew that the person in front of him was not the Third Raikage. He had seen the Third Raikage in Konohagakure, and the deterrent force of the lightning chakra mode was not like this.
Before Aoba could see the face of that person clearly, he directly stretched out his right hand like lightning and grabbed the wrist of the other party.
All of a sudden.
That figure came to a sudden halt.
The entire person was caught by Aoba.
Then Aoba looked over.
It was the future Fourth Raikage!
