"Thank you!"
Aoba immediately thanked Teuchi, then raised his hand to grab the big box.
Wait...
Aoba immediately realized that something was wrong.
He placed his hand on the box.
However, he did not lift the box up. Instead, he looked at Fugaku and Sekai.
"Brother Teuchi, I have decided. Please give me a bowl of ramen. I will leave after I finish eating." Aoba smiled and said. Then, he patted the big box and said, "Put this box back first."
"Are you playing with me?" Teuchi glared at Aoba fiercely. However, this person was Aoba. He provided him with the membership model, but he also made him gain huge profit through this membership.
"Just you wait!"
Teuchi shook his head helplessly. He raised his hand and put down the heavy box filled with books. Then, he turned around and began to cook ramen for Aoba.
"Thank you, Brother Teuchi!"
Aoba thanked Teuchi. Then, he turned his gaze back to Fugaku and Sekai.
After that.
He strode towards the two of them.
"Brother Fugaku, Brother Sekai, I feel that we are quite fated. I'm sitting over here."
Aoba squeezed out a smile. On the contrary, he loved now to see that when talking to Uchiha, the other party would not feel embarrassed as long as he did not feel embarrassed.
"Great!"
An excited expression immediately appeared on Fugaku's face. He then flipped through his ninja pouch and search for something.
After flipping through it for a while.
Fugaku took out a book.
On the cover of the book was a woman dressed in revealing clothes. She looked a little like "Mai Shiranui".
All of a sudden.
The corner of Aoba's mouth twitched.
He could not help but look at Fugaku's face, his eyes flashing with doubt.
This Uchiha Fugaku who likes to put on airs.
Why did he like this kind of thing?
It was really...
"Aoba, the last time we met, you told me you wanted an autograph, but I never had anything. After that, I specially bought a book and prepared to give it to you after I signed it." Fugaku said with a smile.
"???" Aoba was stunned for a moment. He never thought that he was just casually making an excuse. Who would have thought that the other party actually took it seriously?
"I specially picked this book for you. I think it will be very suitable for your hobby. I guessed it right!" Fugaku winked at Aoba and said as if he understood her expression. Then he took out a pen and wrote the words "Uchiha Fugaku" on the book.
"????" The question mark on Aoba's head suddenly became bigger.
My hobby?
What the hell?
The cover of this book...
Aoba cried out in injustice!
This was simply to use your exp to speculate on my hobbies!
"Here, Aoba, this is for you. No need to be polite!"
After Fugaku finished writing the signature on the book, he handed it directly to Aoba with a meaningful smile on his face.
"..."
Aoba was completely speechless throughout the whole process.
He looked at the book that Fugaku handed over.
He really wanted to complain.
Can't you just give it to me privately?
"Phew..."
Aoba took a deep breath again. He slowly raised his trembling hand as he reached for the book.
This was no longer something he felt awkward about.
This was simply sending him to his death.
All of a sudden.
Aoba looked at Sekai from the corner of his eyes.
He immediately saw that Sekai's gaze was completely focused on the book's cover. His eyes were full of envy, and he was about to cry.
Good fellow!
Aoba called him a good guy!
In the huge Uchiha clan, besides Fugaku and Obito, there was another person who was interested in women.
This was not like an Uchiha at all!
Aoba even had the urge to give this book to Sekai.
Suddenly.
Aoba took the book shakily.
He slowly placed the book on the table.
He looked at the fierce girl in red on the cover and felt awkward.
"The ramen is ready!"
Right at this moment.
Teuchi's voice sounded in Aoba's ears.
Instantly.
Aoba's heart tightened.
If this thing were to be seen by Teuchi, he would simply lose face in the future and die completely.
The moment Teuchi came over with the ramen.
Aoba came up with an idea in a hurry.
He flipped over the book in front of him and turned the front of the book to the table, letting the back of the book face up.
Aoba had just finished the operation, and before he could heave a sigh of relief, he saw the scenery behind the book.
Good fellow...
Aoba was about to go blind.
The book's front cover was the front of the girl in red, and the book's back cover was the back of the girl in red.
The clean back and two red and white tassels at the back containing orbs of the opposite colors were matched with the high slits...
It could be said.
The back was more interesting than the front.
"Are you surprised? Are you surprised? I thought you wouldn't find the key point of this book so quickly. I didn't expect you to know so much!" The expression on Fugaku's face instantly became even more interesting.
"..." Aoba's face darkened. What is this? There was actually such a book.
Damn!
At this moment.
Teuchi placed the steaming hot ramen on Aoba's table. His narrowed eyes stared at the back of the book on the table.
"I was wondering why you suddenly stopped leaving. So you were attracted by this thing!" Teuchi's face revealed an expression of 'I understand you' as if he had seen through Aoba's true nature.
"I'm not..." Aoba hurriedly explained.
"It doesn't matter. There's no need to explain anything. This is normal. When I was your age, my thoughts were the same as yours." Teuchi blinked his eyes and said.
"..."
'You were wronged!'
Aoba was completely speechless.
'You bunch of bastard!'
'It's fine if you have this kind of hobby!'
'Yet you still think that I'm the same type of person as you!'
'This is too much!'
Aoba raised his eyes and looked at Teuchi. He met Teuchi's gaze and immediately felt the other party's expression of 'I understand you'.
Then, Aoba looked at Sekai again and met the other party's extremely envious gaze.
Speechless.
He was completely speechless.
Aoba felt that he could no longer explain it clearly.
"Thank... thank you..."
Aoba said to Teuchi. He was thanking Teuchi for bringing him the ramen.
It was just his words.
He was directly misunderstood by Fugaku.
"Hahaha, you're welcome. I'll give you a few more next time if you like them. Ordinary people can't buy this kind of book. I have a channel!"
Fugaku raised his eyebrows at Aoba, and the smile on his face became more meaningful.
Just as Fugaku finished his words.
Teuchi leaned over and stared at Fugaku's face.
"The next time you come to eat ramen, bring me a few books. I'll give you a free order!" Teuchi said.
"No problem!"
Fugaku patted his chest and promised. He exchanged a look with Teuchi, and then both of their faces revealed the same smile.
"..."
Aoba immediately saw how those LSP exchanged experiences when they were in school in their hearts.
Forget it.
Aoba immediately stopped explaining and lowered his head to eat his ramen.
Right now, all he wanted was to finish it quickly.
That was not right!
Even if he finished it quickly, it still wouldn't work!
The reason he deliberately stayed here was to wait for these two Uchiha to leave.
After that.
Aoba's speed of eating ramen began to slow down. He no longer cared about the people around him.
The appearance of Teuchi successfully diverted Fugaku's attention.
After some time.
Fugaku realized that Aoba was already silently eating ramen at the side.
"Aiya, Aoba, we talked too deeply just now. I forgot about you..."
Fugaku patted his head in annoyance. He originally wanted to talk more with Aoba, but he also understood that he could not ask Aoba questions now.
"It's... It's alright..." Aoba shook his head.
"Aoba, we still have a patrolling mission, so we won't stay here for long. When there is a chance, I want to talk to you alone." Fugaku put away the smile on his face, and his face suddenly became serious, as if saying, 'You know what I want to talk to you about'.
"Okay."
Aoba nodded and didn't say anything. He just waited for the two people from Uchiha's clan to leave.
Then.
Fugaku and Sekai looked at each other.
The two of them did not stay for long.
They walked out directly.
"Phew..."
Aoba slowly let out a sigh of relief and finally sent the two of them away.
"Brother Teuchi, give me the things. I am going back." Aoba immediately stood up, glanced at the book on the table, picked it up, and walked to Teuchi.
"This time you are not playing with me, right?" Teuchi joked.
"No, no, hehehe..." Aoba smiled.
"Wait a minute."
Teuchi bowed slightly. He lowered his head and took back the heavy box from under the counter, and placed it on the table.
"Aoba, can you carry it?"
Teuchi narrowed his eyes and stared at Aoba. His eyes seemed to see through something but also seemed to know nothing.
"Yes."
Aoba raised his right hand and grabbed the box. In an instant, he lifted the box up as if it were weightless.
Then.
Aoba left with the box.
His body was not so weak. In front of Teuchi, it was not a secret.
Moreover.
He was not afraid that Teuchi would find out.
However, the two people from the Uchiha Clan were different.
Right now, he still had to maintain his frail body in front of the people of the Uchiha clan.
Aoba carried the box and walked out of Ramen Ichiraku Noodle House.
Just as he was about to exit the entrance.
The paper in his hand flew up and stick to the box, instantly turning the box into an umbrella.
Aoba made an umbrella carrying gesture and lifted the box in his hand that had been disguised as an umbrella by Kami no Shisha no Jutsu(Paper Person of God Technique).
The moment Aoba held the box, he had already placed Chōkeijūgan no Jutsu(Ultralight-Weight Rock Technique) on the box, making it as light as a feather.
Then.
Aoba walked toward Anbu's dormitory with an umbrella.
He had just walked out of a street.
He felt two pairs of eyes staring at him.
But Aoba seemed to feel nothing as he slowly and leisurely walked away.
...
On the other side of the street.
"Sekai, I already said that you are thinking too much. The thing inside the box is this umbrella. You are too sensitive!" Fugaku said helplessly.
"It doesn't make sense!" Sekai frowned and said.
"Ever since Akaru-sama asked you to look for Aoba, you have been suspecting him. I think you are worrying too much. You are definitely thinking too much!" Fugaku shook his head and said. He still trusted Aoba very much in his heart.
"According to the information I got, Aoba's health is not good. The box that Boss Teuchi took out was so heavy. Logically speaking, Aoba should not be able to carry it. If he took it out, it means that there is something wrong with him..." Sekai analyzed.
"What you said is right, but Aoba did not take it out. He only took an umbrella!" Fugaku shook his head and said.
"Do you think it is normal to use an umbrella on a sunny day?" Sekai could not help but ask.
"Maybe this is Aoba's hobby..." Fugaku didn't really understand, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong here, so he continued, "I think carrying an umbrella on sunny days can be some special hobbies."
"What about that box? Isn't it a bit too heavy? Even Boss Teuchi can't lift it up!" Sekai asked doubtfully.
"Sekai, you also saw Teuchi's hobbies. He likes that kind of book. It's normal for his body to be weak. Moreover, I think we Konoha Military Police Force's people shouldn't be so overly suspicious." Fugaku shook his head and added, "Let's go patrol!"
