Aoba's answer.
Stunned Yuta.
He couldn't say that he was heartless; he was simply indifferent!
No matter what, he was still a Captain!
He was also an elder of the Yamanaka clan!
He had just said that to be polite.
How could he take it seriously!
This was not the first time Yuta had asked someone to help him complete his mission, and it would definitely not be the last time.
In his previous experience, no matter which newcomer he found, they would agree on the spot without hesitation.
Thye even repeatedly expressed their willingness.
Only Aoba rejected him so straightforwardly, and there was no other person.
In the past, the newcomers were eager to seize this opportunity to get closer to him to perform well in Konohagakure Intelligence Division and get promoted as soon as possible.
How could Aoba be like this!
After saying those polite words, Yuta immediately realized that Aoba might not be able to tell that this was a courtesy word.
It was just as he had expected.
He rejected it on the spot!
This was no longer just a matter of the mission, and it made him feel a little embarrassed.
"Aoba, I have to remind you that helping me complete the mission will be very helpful to you in the future!" Yuta said in a low voice. He was still in the stage where he hoped that Aoba would change his mind.
"I see."
Aoba responded with a bit of concern.
"So you really won't help me?" Yuta frowned slightly.
"I won't help you."
Aoba replied firmly. He would not easily change what he had decided on.
Most importantly...
According to what Yuta said, Aoba could feel that this mission was not simple.
It was very likely to put him in a very awkward or dangerous situation.
Although it was possible to read memories or get some reward from Yuta.
But...
In Aoba's opinion, even if this was true.
It was not worth the risk!
Aoba was a very cautious person. During this month of reading memories, he increasingly understood that the Ninja World was not so simple.
Not only were there wars between ninjas.
There were all kinds of things between ordinary people.
This world was not a Utopia.
It was an incomparably realistic and cruel world!
Right now, he had the Mind Reading System to read memories. As long as he quietly read memories in Konohagakure Intelligence Division, he could slowly become strong.
Even if it took a bit more time.
As long as he stabilized and continued to read memories.
There was no need to take risks for such things!
Aoba was more open-minded about these things. Even if this mission could allow him to read a few more ninjas' memories, it doesn't matter.
Sooner or later, there would be more opportunities!
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Yuta cleared his throat to ease the embarrassment of being rejected. Then, he pretended to be profound and said, "Aoba, this is a secret mission. It is a great opportunity for you to train. I think highly of you, so I found you. If I go to find the others in Konohagakure Intelligence Division, they will definitely agree without hesitation!"
"Captain Yuta, thank you for your support. I feel that my strength is not enough to help you, and I think it is better to give this opportunity to those who will agree without hesitation."
Aoba said seriously.
"You really don't want this opportunity?"
Yuta could clearly feel that Aoba was not being polite to him but really did not want to. He could not help but add, "This mission can help you get a better position in Konohagakure Intelligence Division."
"I think this position is quite good now."
Aoba was completely calm.
"So..."
Yuta immediately changed his mind and took out his trump card, "As long as you help me complete this task, I can recommend you to another Anbu Division. You know, Konohagakure Intelligence Division consumed too much energy, and I don't want you to become like me when you get old!"
"Captain Yuta, I like Konohagakure Intelligence Division very much, and I don't want to go to another Division. If I can stay in Konohagakure Intelligence Division for decades like you, it will be a great honor for me." Aoba's words were to avoid the possible troubles and from the bottom of his heart. If he left Konohagakure Intelligence Division, he would not have this kind of natural memory reading paradise.
"You... you... you..."
The expression on Yuta's face suddenly collapsed, and his current feeling right now was not good.
This was his mission, and it was not necessary for Aoba to complete it.
As he said.
He wanted to give Aoba a chance to train. However, he was rejected.
Logically speaking.
After refusing, he would just look for someone else...
Only.
No one liked the feeling of being rejected!
With a feeling of unwillingness, he told Aoba so much.
In the end, he found that there was still no way.
For a moment, he felt a little depressed.
This was like he said many things, but clearly, the opposite did not care so much. But he was very unwilling after being rejected.
In the end, what caused him to care was not the matter itself but the feeling of being rejected.
"Then that's good!"
Yuta pursed his lips, and a wisp of resolution flashed in his eyes, and it seemed as if he'd made a decision.
"Aoba."
"Wait for me to go apply for it with Captain Eaton."
"I want you to complete this mission with me."
"This way."
"This is not my mission alone, but our mission."
Yuta felt that the reason for Aoba's refusal might be that this mission was not Aoba's, and he did not want to make a wedding dress for others.
Of course.
It was not that Aoba was unwilling to help him.
Instead, he did not want to get involved in any troublesome matters.
With his keen sense of smell, Aoba could faintly sense that the mission Yuta had mentioned earlier was not that simple.
As for the reason to find him...
Yuta did not think highly of him, and he simply felt that he was dull and had a closed mouth. He would also say anything.
Otherwise, there would be so many people who he could choose.
It was also a very important secret mission.
There was no need to look for this cutie pie.
Aoba made his own inference in his heart. He was not a victim of paranoia, but there was a basis for it.
His basis was the collective death of the prisoners in Konoha.
Now that he thought about it.
This was probably purely Yuta's task.
He was just a newcomer who was pulled over to help.
The truth of the matter was pointed at Danzo.
In doing this kind of this mission, Aoba was not curious at all. He thought that it might be this cautious way of doing things that Yuta found him again.
"Captain Yuta."
"I haven't been feeling well recently..."
"You know, I have a weak body, and I sometimes do not feel well, listless, and impatient a few days in a month..."
"It's not that I don't want to help you. It's just that my body doesn't allow it!"
Aoba immediately began to act miserably. He knew that if Yuta went to look for Captain Eaton, he would definitely agree, so he had to use his weak body as a reason.
"Is... is that so?"
Yuta raised his eyebrows even higher. He knew that Aoba was not in good health, but why did his words feel that something was wrong?
