Pa!
Aoba gently patted Tesaki on the head.
"I'll leave it to you."
After that, Aoba turned around and left and left a mysterious background for Tesaki.
"Ding Dong! Memory Reading Succesful! Obtained, Doton, Kōka Jutsu (Earth Release: Hardening Technique)!"
Accompanied by a crisp electronic prompt, memories once again loaded in Aoba's mind.
However, he did not look at them now but quickly left.
Aoba turned into a dark corridor and instantly tore off his cloak. He took off his gloves and the mask on his face and placed them into a bag.
He carried the bag and left Anbu. He walked into the small forest and then burned it.
"Now I can wait patiently."
Aoba did not return to Anbu's dormitory. Instead, he walked towards the small forest where Konohagakure provided training to the ninjas. Now, he needed to reappear in the eyes of some people.
Not long after.
Aoba came to the venue where he had observed the young father and son training and sat on a familiar bench.
He had just sat there and saw two green figures running past him, sweating profusely.
"This is the genius of hard work."
Aoba couldn't help but sigh. Recently, he had been able to see Duy and Guy together every day.
This kind of training that he had seen with his own eyes breaking through the limit was far more shocking than the memories from watching anime.
He could clearly feel the encouragement and expectations Duy had for his son as a father, and he could also feel the ideals and beliefs in Guy's heart that had become stronger.
...
Konohagakure, Root Base.
Danzo was wearing a green robe, and his body was wrapped in white bandages. He looked deep and gloomy.
Sou!
All of a sudden.
A figure flashed out and appeared behind Danzo, half kneeling.
"Kyo, you are here."
Danzo's left eye exposed outside the bandage stared at the female ninja wearing a mask.
This female ninja was from Root. It was just that she would usually work at Konohagakure Intelligence Division.
She was mainly responsible for contacting Eaton and sending out some shady information.
"Danzo-sama, this is a secret letter from Eaton-sama."
Kyo raised her hands and raised the sealed scroll in her hand, putting on a gesture of handing it over.
"Okay."
Danzo looked at the scroll, which was the standard letter that Eaton usually wrote to him.
In addition, it was sent by Kyo. There was no doubt about it.
He had already believed that this was information that Eaton had sent over.
After all...
They had been doing this for a long time!
Danzo picked up the scroll.
He checked if it had not been open, and without hesitation, he opened the scroll and read the word written in Eaton's handwriting.
[Danzo-sama,
Through searching the memories of the two deceased, Taichi and Daisuke, we found traces of tampering. I can be sure that their memories have been tampered with.
The tampered memories pointed the murderer to Danzo-sama, and it is not difficult to see that the mastermind behind the scenes is planning to blame Danzo-sama.
The restoration of their memories was very difficult, and after a few days of hard work, we found a name that was suspected to be the mastermind behind the scenes.
Yamanaka Yuta.
Nara Tetsu.
Takashi.
...
Tesaki.
And...
Kyo, who is in charge of the information communication between us!
The above report is from the results of the investigation.
Later, another result will be presented to you on the surface, which is a memory that has been tampered with.
Morino Eaton]
Aoba wrote this secret letter.
In the list of this letter, he wrote in detail all the names of the remnants of the old era that he had obtained from Yuta and Takashi's memories.
However, he also added two names inside.
Kyo.
Tesaki.
These two people originally had nothing to do with this matter and had nothing to do with Aoba.
However, these two people had seen Aoba before.
Even though they had seen Aoba in a cloak and a mask, something may happen unexpectedly after all.
From the moment Aoba chose them, their fates were already in Danzo's hands.
This was equivalent to directly giving the two of them a death sentence!
After all, with Danzo's character. Aoba was very clear about it.
He would rather kill wrongly than let it go! Especially when it came to this matter of extremely vile nature of being framed.
Danzo carefully read the scroll and memorized the names on it.
Then he burned the scroll to ashes.
Danzo was cautious and decisive. Every time he accepted or sent a secret message, he would destroy it without leaving any evidence.
"Kyo, thank you for your hard work."
Danzo stared at Kyo, who was half kneeling in front of him.
"It's not hard."
Kyo still kept her head down and did not raise her head or get up.
"No wonder I always felt that someone was spying on me and spreading my information. How did you escape the Root curse seal?" he asked calmly.
"What... what do you mean?" Kyo's pupils suddenly shrank, and an ominous premonition emerged in her heart.
"Forget it."
Danzo lowered his head and stared at Kyo, his left eye exposed on the outside, emitting strong killing intent.
"I think you won't admit it."
Pfft!
Just as Danzo finished speaking, a piercing sound rang out.
Kyo opened her eyes wide and was filled with deep confusion that flickered in the depths of her pupils.
Kyo's heart had been pierced and was killed in one blow!
Until the moment of her death, she still did not know what had happened.
"Tetsu, that ridiculous person is still alive. I should have killed you back then, and it was all because of that bastard Hiruzen!"
When Danzo saw that Tetsu was on the list, he already knew the authenticity of the list.
He turned and walked toward the office in the darkness.
Just after he left, two black shadows flashed out and took away Kyo's body to deal with the aftermath.
"Tatsuma."
Danzo said indifferently from his office chair.
Sou!
A man wearing a cloak appeared in front of Danzo. He was not wearing a mask, and he was wearing a standard Konoha forehead protector. He had a pair of sunglasses and a black tattoo on the right side of his face.
"Danzo-sama."
The face of this man called Tatsuma was cold and stern as if he was paralyzed. There was no change in his mood.
"The people on the list..."
Danzo took out a white paper, spread it out on the table, and then took up a pen and wrote several names on it.
After writing it down, he folded the paper and pushed it forward.
"You know what to do."
Danzo handed the paper full of names to Tatsuma. He thought highly of this subordinate.
Because of this, when there were assassination missions.
They were all handed over to Tatsuma to do.
"Yes."
Tatsuma picked up the paper and put it away. Then, he turned around and left Danzo's office.
