Aoba had never thought of this.
He would know in this way about the collective death of the prisoners.
"Don't say these words anymore."
Aoba stared at the man who was tied up with his dark eyes and said meaningfully.
"I was really not lying!" The man shouted, unwilling to give up.
"I said this for your own good. Don't be stubborn later and openly admit the slander. Your crime is not big. You will go out in a few days." Aoba said lightly.
"You... you... Is this how you interrogate?" The man's face showed dissatisfaction, and he did not ask anything and directly came to a conclusion. He immediately felt that this Konohagakure Intelligence Division ninja was too hasty.
"I know everything about you." Aoba's tone was still very light. He took a step forward and whispered to the man, "What you see and hear, you know best. The problem now is that you won't get any benefits if you continue like this, and you might even die!"
"I... I..." The man's eyelids jumped. After hearing the word ''die'' from Aoba, his heart suddenly trembled, and he calmed down. His emotions were not so excited anymore.
"Understanding the identity of the other party and knowing your own ability is the best choice for you." Aoba said lightly. After speaking, he spread out the scroll and picked up a pen to write on it.
Rustle rustle...
As the tip of the pen touched it, lines of text fluttered on the scroll.
"Sign it."
Aoba handed the scroll to the man, and the latter's "crime" was written on it simply and crudely.
Slander Konohagakure's higher-ups!
It was a simple line of words.
Although it seemed to make the man feel wronged, it was the best solution that Aoba could think of.
"This..."
The man stared blankly at his crime on the scroll. The expression on his face changed from unwillingness to loneliness. In the end, it turned into deep helplessness.
"I can sign it, but I have a question. You have to answer me."
The man did not move the pen. Instead, he raised his head and stared at Aoba with a solemn gaze. His eyes flashed with determination.
It seemed that if Aoba did not answer his question.
He would not sign!
Aoba nodded, "Tell me."
"You really know what I saw?" The man was still skeptical.
"I read your memories." Aoba nodded again.
"Then..." The man took a deep breath and became nervous. He said, "Do you know that I am innocent?"
"If you say something, you will not be innocent." Aoba shook his head and handed over the scroll in his hand. He said, "Sign it."
"Should I pretend that I didn't hear it?" The man asked helplessly.
"Your strength doesn't match that person's status." Aoba said lightly.
"I understand."
The man immediately wilted. In fact, when he was caught, he more or less had an idea in his heart.
It was just that he still wanted to attract the attention of the Anbu Ninjas by making a fuss to clear his name.
But now, he understood something.
In reality.
He was so helpless...
There were things that could not be said easily!
The man took the pen that Aoba handed over, signed the scroll, and admitted the crime of slander.
After that.
The man was taken away by the guard in the cell.
Aoba's gaze passed through the hole in the mask and watched the man leave.
"I'm sorry."
Aoba said in a low voice that only he could hear.
Right now, his identity was that of Konohagakure Intelligence Division, a newbie who had no sense of presence.
He had to keep a low profile.
The scene that the man saw.
He could not say it out.
Suddenly.
Aoba looked at the man's memory in his mind as if he was watching a movie.
Ten days ago.
This man was taking a walk in the woods behind Konohagakure's cell.
It had been a long time.
He felt sleepy.
The man sat directly under a tree and fell asleep.
After an unknown period of time.
A weak voice entered his ears.
"This is the list of people who are about to be released from prison. The crimes they have committed should not allow them to see the light again. However, according to Konohagakure's laws, they will be released soon. This is a scene I do not want to see."
His voice was low and slightly hoarse, revealing a cold and gloomy feeling.
"I would rather kill wrongly than let them go. You know what to do, right?"
When the man heard this.
He immediately realized that something was wrong.
He moved slightly.
His line of sight went around the tree trunk and looked not far behind.
He immediately saw a person wearing a green robe with bandages tied around his body.
This person...
Aoba recognized it at a glance.
Zhicun Danzo!
The Konohagakure Root Organization Leader!
The person standing opposite Danzo was the warden of Konohagakure's prison.
"Understood."
The warden nodded and disappeared in a flash.
It was just a few short sentences.
It was enough to determine the death of these prisoners.
...
"Haa~"
Aoba gently breathed a sigh of relief. No wonder he did not see any signs from the memories of these prisoners.
They did not provoke anyone.
There was no special contact with anyone.
They were suddenly poisoned to death.
So these things were done by the warden!
He instructed the warden.
Shimura Danzo!
The one who used his own methods to maintain Konohagakure's stability.
"No wonder Konohagakure Intelligence Division stopped investigating. Maybe it received an order from his superior!"
Aoba never thought that he would be able to see the so-called bureaucracy in this dark Konohagakure Intelligence Division in the Ninja World.
Even though he knew that what the man had just said was not a lie, that man would be in danger if these continued.
Be it Danzo or the Warden.
None of them were people that civilians could afford to offend!
This was also why Aoba chose not to seek justice for this man.
You have to know...
Danzo was someone who would be forgiven even if he sent someone to assassinate the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen!
Moreover, he had only killed a few prisoners!
This kind of thing.
Even if Aoba managed to convince others, he wouldn't be able to do anything as long as the Third Hokage was in position.
It wouldn't have any effect.
Moreover, it would bring even more trouble to this man.
Not only that.
As a person who spoke for this man, Aoba would also be implicated.
Aoba only wanted to quietly read the memories inside Konohagakure Intelligence Division.
As for what happened to those people, he did not care at all!
After all, he was not God.
It was impossible for him to feel injustice for everyone!
Next, there would be a third ninja war in the Ninja World. Countless deaths and injuries would occur.
He couldn't always act like a saint!
After Aoba found out the cause of the prisoner's death, the confusion in his heart was completely solved.
So it was Danzo's fault.
Then everything made sense!
