Kenji's questioning voice clearly entered everyone's ear in Ramen Ichiraku Noodle House.
This made Aoba, the mastermind behind this matter, call him an expert.
Not bad!
As expected of Konoha Military Police Force's people!
His sense of smell was very sensitive!
He immediately discovered the most important problem!
Aoba used this opportunity to go out and buy Dango to kill Otai.
However, this kind of thing.
He didn't think there was any need to hide it.
Anyway, he didn't go out for a few minutes.
Of course.
He couldn't hide it either!
The more he hid it, the easier it was for others to suspect him.
Suddenly.
Aoba said slowly.
"I bought the Dango," Aoba said indifferently.
"Oh? Then why didn't you say it just now? Aren't all of you never been out?" Kenji immediately grasped the handle.
"We have indeed never gone out." Aoba nodded and said.
"Are you kidding me?" Kenji's tone suddenly became impatient. He then said coldly, "You said that you haven't gone out. Then how did you buy the Dango? Did a ghost buy it for you?"
"I was the first to arrive in the shop. I ordered a bowl of ramen, and then Minato and Kushina came. At that time, the three of us were in the shop, and Brother Teuchi could testify." Aoba said.
"What does that have to do with you not going out?" Kenji became even more impatient.
"You have to listen to me."
Aoba's tone was still very calm, and he spoke very slowly. His gaze was fixed on Kenji, and there was no expression on his face.
"When the three of us are ready to eat, Brother Fugaku and Mikoto arrive."
"Mikoto said that she wants to eat Dango."
"So I went to buy the Dango."
"After I bought the Dango, the five of us didn't go out until we heard screams outside.
"May I ask?"
"Have we ever gone out..."
"Any questions?"
Aoba's tone was indifferent as if he had no emotional fluctuations, but when it entered Kenji's ears, his impression of Aoba changed.
This youth...
The logical rules were very clear.
In an instant, he solved his argument.
He was immediately rendered speechless.
If he says it like this, it really means that they haven't gone out. After all, when this young man went out, these five people hadn't gathered together yet.
Kenji understood that this wave of suppression of Fugaku had ended.
He had never doubted Fugaku from the beginning.
Moreover, he had never doubted the people in this room.
Except for the unknown youth who had just spoken.
The others.
Among them was Mikoto from the Uchiha clan.
There was also Jiraya's student, Minato.
And Minato's girlfriend, Kushina.
These people were not suspicious at all.
He had never doubted them at all.
Now the investigation was over.
But Kenji did not want to leave with his tail between his legs. With a thought, he found a way out and looked at Aoba.
"How long did it take you to buy the Dango?" Kenji asked casually, showing that he was still investigating.
"Five minutes," Aoba replied indifferently. After that, he looked up at Kenji and said, "You don't think that I can take advantage of the time when I buy the Dango to kill him, do you?"
"Of course not, of course not..."
Kenji waved his hand repeatedly. His aggressive face revealed a smile, and he said, "I just asked for a routine procedure. It's fine now. You guys continue to eat. I'm leaving."
Immediately.
Kenji took his people and left Ramen Ichiraku Noodle House.
"How unlucky!"
Fugaku snorted coldly. Anyone else could give him face, but this Kenji had been fighting against him since he was young.
"If there is nothing else, I will go first."
Aoba's voice rang clearly in everyone's ears, and then he added, "I'm full and very tired, so I won't stay here."
"Aoba, let me send you back. There has just been a murder case outside, and I'm worried about you leaving alone." Fugaku immediately said.
The reason he said was just one of the reasons.
During this period of time.
He had always wanted to find a chance to thank Aoba.
As a loyal fan of his.
Not only did he constantly help in the matter of him chasing after Mikoto, he even bought Dango for him.
It was reasonable.
He was an idol.
He should give Aoba some time alone and leave an autograph or something.
When Fugaku said this.
Apart from Teuchi, the remaining four had different feelings.
Minato nodded silently, agreeing with Fugaku's decision.
Something had just happened outside.
Aoba was not in good health either.
If Fugaku could send Aoba off.
Then there would be no accidents.
Kushina's mouth twitched. She automatically translated this sentence using her brain translator when she heard this sentence.
Fugaku took the initiative to send Aoba home!
It was a tryst in the night
The key was to say it in front of everyone!
Was this the same as confirming it to everyone?
Kushina couldn't help but take a deep breath. She looked at Mikoto and immediately saw the worried expression on her face. She couldn't help but feel more distressed for Mikoto.
Immediately after.
She turned to look at Minato next to her.
She immediately noticed that Minato looked as if it were a matter of course.
She didn't feel anything wrong.
One could even see the approval in Minato's eyes.
This...
Kushina's mood became complicated.
Mikoto was thinking in another direction. She thought that Fugaku meant to send Aoba off was he wanted to fight with Aoba.
After these two people left their line of sight, they might do something.
They might fight to the death for her!
For a moment.
Mikoto felt that it was even more difficult for her to be stuck in the middle.
...
Only Aoba.
His heart was helpless.
What the hell was this!
He wanted to avoid any Uchiha!
How would he dare to let the future Uchiha clan head send him home!
If someone saw this, they would think that we were friends.
They would treat it as if we were in the same camp.
Wouldn't that be troublesome?
"No need. I can go back by myself. That murderer caused such a big commotion, so I'm sure he won't attack again."
Aoba said indifferently.
What kind of joke was this?
The murderer was himself.
Was there a need for him to be afraid of him?
Now, people were in a panic because of the dead person matter, but the only person who knew what was going on was Aoba, who had done all this.
With Aoba's refusal.
Their expressions instantly changed again.
The things that made their imagination run wild increased by a step.
In Mikoto's opinion, Aoba did not want to have any conflict with Fugaku, but she felt that he was just angry and jealous.
In Kushina's opinion, Aoba was jealous of Mikoto because Fugaku and Mikoto were close and wanted to give Fugaku the cold shoulder.
Aoba did not know the thoughts of these two girls.
If he knew, he would be shocked.
Good fellow.
Mikoto gave him Fugaku brand vinegar, and Kushina gave him Mikoto brand vinegar.
For a long time, Aoba did not expect that he was already a sour chicken in their eyes.
"Eh... alright..."
Fugaku was stunned for a moment. After a moment of hesitation, he did not continue to insist and decided to respect Aoba's decision.
This reminded Minato of something.
Minato did not know why Aoba rejected Fugaku. But he vaguely guessed that because these two people were not familiar with each other was the reason.
"Aoba, the person outside is indeed very dangerous. Don't try to be brave. I'll send you back." Minato suddenly said.
Swish!
All of a sudden.
The faces of Kushina, Mikoto, Fugaku all changed.
"Minato, what about me? I'll go by myself?" Kushina's mentality collapsed.
"Kushina, wait for me here. I'll come back to pick you up after I send Aoba back." Minato made the arrangements.
"?"
Kushina almost broke the defense at this moment.
Ten-thousand defense.
Still not protected?
She couldn't help but shift her gaze to Aoba, hoping to hear the answer that Aoba denied.
"Alright."
Aoba nodded and agreed to Minato's request. He felt that since Fugaku raised it first, and now Minato raised it again.
It was fine if he rejected once.
If he continuously refused.
Then it seemed as if he had a guilty conscience and did not dare to let people go with him.
Besides.
Minato also had good intentions.
He also had something to say to Minato.
It just so happened that this was also an opportunity.
"Let's go."
Minato immediately got up. With a warm smile on his face, he took the lead and walked towards the entrance.
Aoba followed closely behind.
The two of them left Ramen Ichiraku Noodle House one after another.
"?????"
Kushina watched the two leave, especially when Minato left without saying anything.
What the hell was this?
She looked at the thoughtful Mikoto and then looked at Fugaku, whose face had recovered.
She felt sorry for her best friend for half a day...
The clown was actually her!
...
Minato and Aoba left Ramen Ichiraku together and walked toward the Anbu's dormitory.
At this moment.
There were not that many people gathered outside.
After walking for a while, no one was in the surrounding streets.
"Aoba, I have a question I always wanted to ask you, but I couldn't find an opportunity," Minato said as he walked.
"What question?" Aoba asked.
"What do you mean by the membership you saved for me?" Minato had been puzzled about this matter for a long time.
"Oh, regarding this matter, didn't I say that I would be treating you last time? This is considered treating you," Aoba said casually.
"Will you continue to deposit into my membership card in the future?" Minato asked the question that he was most concerned about.
"I think so," Aoba answered ambiguously. He did not tell Minato that he had just deposited again.
"That's great!"
Minato jumped up in excitement. When he thought about how he could eat ramen without spending his own money, he was so happy that he flew up.
"Aoba, please increase your efforts; I can eat as much as you save!"
Minato said with a serious face.
During this period of time, he had a great time eating ramen.
He did not need to spend his own money at all.
Although Teuchi did not tell him why his membership card value was a lot, he knew that it was Aoba who charged it.
Because of this.
He was not polite when he used it.
As long as there was no mission, he would come to Ramen Ichiraku to eat.
He could eat whatever he wanted.
"By the way, there is one more thing..." Minato scratched his head and stared at Aoba. He asked curiously, "Did Tsunade-sama look for you?"
