Aoba passed through the dark forest and slowly walked towards the direction where Konohagakure's people were flourishing.
He was cautious with every step.
He made sure that no one would see him.
Just as he reached the edge of the forest, he could already faintly hear the sounds of fighting and killing.
Through the gaps in the woods, Aoba could see a glimmer of light in the distant night sky.
This glimmer was in the direction of Hiruzen's residence.
"They set it on fire!"
When Aoba looked from afar, he could roughly guess something. Then, he walked in the opposite direction, along the dark streets, towards Anbu's dormitory.
Those suicide soldiers who had been brainwashed by Tetsu would definitely go crazy and attack Third Hokage Hiruzen at all costs.
After all, the strength of these suicide soldiers was limited.
Even if they were caught unprepared, it would only cause a certain degree of damage to Third Hokage's residence.
However, it was simply impossible to harm Third Hokage!
In the end, None of these people would survive!
This kind of extremely bad attack on Third Hokage, coupled with the fact that the attacker did not give up, would definitely be killed on the spot.
"In Third Hokage's era, there is no ship that can carry the remnants of the old era."
Aoba circled and finally returned to Anbu's dormitory under the night sky that no one noticed.
...
The next day, early morning.
Aoba woke up early, changed into Anbu's ninja suit, put on the cat face mask that belonged to him, and set off for work again.
"Life has finally returned to normal."
Aoba was in a very good mood. His inner desires were satiated because he liked this quiet and simple life. He did not like to participate in disputes, and he did not like to be disturbed.
Although he had not gone to work for Konohagakure Intelligence Division for a period of time, he still arrived at his little compartment with ease.
When he had just arrived here. He heard a lot of noise.
It was like a market.
This made a small question mark appear in Aoba's mind. When did the atmosphere in Konohagakure Intelligence Division become so lively?
"You are back."
At this time, the stranger who was very familiar with Aoba came over. It was the guard captain responsible for escorting the suspect.
Two guards followed behind him, holding a man who looked to be in his forties.
"I'll leave this man to you."
As the guard captain spoke, the two guards tied the man to the wooden pillar.
"Okay."
Aoba nodded.
He already had work to do as soon as he came back.
How happy it was!
For Aoba, who had already been on leave for a while, couldn't wait anymore.
"This person stole something during the chaos last night and was caught by Konoha Military Police Force's people. There shouldn't be anything too difficult about it, and I will send someone over later. What happened yesterday was too messy." The guard captain complained.
"What is it?" Aoba asked, despite knowing the answer.
"You still don't know?"
The guard captain was stunned for a moment, then explained, "Yesterday, Third Hokage was attacked by some extremists and made a big noise, attracting the attention of many people, which made many thieves in the village come out!"
"So that's how it is." Aoba was suddenly enlightened.
"I'll leave this person to you, and I'll send someone else off. I'll be busy for the next few days." The guard captain waved his hand and turned to leave. He was familiar with Aoba, so he just said a few words.
Aoba watched the guard captain leave and did not say anything. After the latter disappeared from his sight, he turned to look at the middle-aged man.
"Taking advantage of the situation!"
Aoba suddenly felt that this word was particularly appropriate to describe. It was the literal meaning.
"Humph!"
The middle-aged man snorted. There was no sign of repentance on his face, and he just felt that he was very unlucky.
Except for him, There were also quite a few colleagues.
Not only had they not been caught, but they had also escaped unscathed.
This made him feel depressed.
"I know you won't say it."
Aoba pulled out a small stool, sat down directly, and then took out the melon seeds he had prepared beforehand from the ninja bag and began to crack them.
Crack - crack - -
Aoba didn't look at the man, didn't ask anything, just sat on the small stool and began to eat melon seeds.
"?"
When the middle-aged man saw Aoba's relaxed look, he was stunned.
What does this mean?
Weren't you going to interrogate me?
He originally wanted to delay for some time before the interrogation.
And struggled a little.
But it was definitely impossible to change his crime. After all, he was caught on the spot.
But...
Why didn't this man ask?
Crack... Crack...
As time passed, the sound of cracking melon seeds in a little compartment could be heard.
The reverse quietness in this noisy environment brings great psychological pressure to middle-aged men.
Every minute that passed felt like a year.
His whole body felt itchy and uncomfortable.
Finally, after waiting for more than half an hour, the middle-aged man lost his cool.
"Are you going to ask or not?" The middle-aged man said snappily.
He was bound on the pillar.
He couldn't move.
And felt uncomfortable.
After a long time, he couldn't feel any strength.
He couldn't even change his posture!
If this ninja big brother in front of him gave him some violent whiplash, it could still divert his attention.
His ears were filled with hazy interrogation sounds, but the compartment was so quiet that it seemed fake. However, there was also the sound of cracking melon seeds that rang at a fixed frequency.
This feeling...
It was unspeakably uncomfortable!
"Are you going to confess?"
Aoba looked up at the middle-aged man. He did not stop cracking melon seeds, as if he did not care whether the other party would confess or not.
"I..."
Of course, the middle-aged man did not want to confess, but he did not want to continue to waste time like this. As time went on, the pressure in his heart grew stronger and stronger, and he felt like he was going crazy.
As a thief, he was a very active person, to begin with.
He was not afraid of being ravaged by explosions.
However, he could not take this kind of interrogation anymore.
"I confess."
The middle-aged man said helplessly. After saying this, he suddenly became extremely tired, as if he had used up all his strength. At the same time, he felt a trace of relief in his heart.
He could finally leave this place.
The prison was more comfortable than this.
"Okay."
Aoba put down the melon seed in his hand and slowly got up. He took out the confession book and walked towards the middle-aged man.
"You should have cooperated so early."
Aoba walked to the man and raised his hand to rub the latter's head. Then, he untied the latter's tied hands.
"Write it yourself."
Aoba handed the note to the middle-aged man. Just as he made his move, a clear electronic prompt sounded in his head.
"Ding Dong! Memory Reading Succesful! Obtained: Chakra Increase!"
Along with this voice, the memory of this middle-aged man poured into Aoba's mind.
Aoba did this on purpose.
After the incident with the remnants of the old era, he became more cautious.
In the previous interrogation, he read memories directly, wrote down the confession letter, and let the other party sign.
There were loopholes in this.
After a long time, it was easy to find the flaws.
This time, he had to come back and had to improve.
After all, he had learned so many interrogation methods.
He wanted to complete his work through interrogation when he was bored and touch their head to improve his strength.
However, Just as the middle-aged man was writing the confession letter.
The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside of the compartment.
The footsteps stopped directly at the door of Aoba's compartment and then directly opened the door, revealing the face of an Anbu wearing a mask.
"Are you from Analysis Division?" The other party asked directly.
"Ah... yes." Aoba thought for a moment and nodded with certainty.
"Immediately gather at Konohagakure Intelligence Division meeting place."
After that, the Anbu directly left.
He walked towards the next compartment.
Judging from this action.
It seemed like he was going to call all of Analysis Division's Ninjas back.
