"Brother Teuchi, thank you!"
Aoba thanked Teuchi in front of him. If not for Teuchi's reminder, he would not have discovered these things.
This helped him a lot!
"We are old friends. This is nothing. As long as you are fine!" Teuchi narrowed his eyes and smiled. He only said what he had heard. He did not care about the rest. As an ordinary person, he would not participate in the ninjas' matters.
"Don't worry; nothing will happen to me!" Aoba nodded and promised Teuchi.
The next time.
Aoba chatted with Teuchi about some daily matters of life.
Gradually.
It was late at night.
Aoba got up from his chair.
"Brother Teuchi, it's getting late. I should go back." Aoba said.
"You have to be careful," Teuchi warned again.
"Yes."
Aoba nodded, then directly strode towards the direction of Anbu's dormitory.
After walking out of Ramen Ichiraku Noodle House.
Aoba's thoughts began to move quickly, and his heart was also somewhat puzzled.
'Anbu?'
'What is going on?'
After Aoba read the memory of the ninja named Oman, he went through the memories in detail.
There was no other connection.
This was a Kiri ninja who sneaked into Konohagakure on a mission alone.
In the past, he sent the information personally.
There was no one in the village that he knew.
Otherwise, Aoba would have found that spy in the village long ago.
But...
Teuchi's words were obviously not fabricated. The other party knew his identity and knew that Oman was in his hands.
Moreover, the other party was Anbu.
These conditions were stacked together.
Aoba suddenly realized a problem.
'Inside Anbu.'
'There are spies!'
This could be said to be the most reasonable explanation he could think of.
"Good fellow, it really is all-pervasive. The intrigues between the five villages are really..."
Aoba could not help but smile helplessly. He still remembered when he first arrived at Konohagakure Intelligence Division.
Eaton asked him to check if those children were suitable to be spies.
After he selected a few people.
He never saw those people again.
Right now, they might be slowly growing up as a ninja in other villages.
Or...
They were discovered and killed!
It was not easy to be a spy!
If one was slightly careless and was discovered.
That was the abyss of eternal damnation.
In Aoba's memory.
Whether it was the anime he had seen before or the memories he had read, the most powerful spy among the spies were still the Kabuto.
He was indeed very strong!
Now that Aoba had read through the memories of many spies, he found that none of them could compare to the Kabuto.
There was one main reason.
Those spies no longer had any heart.
To be precise...
The spies had been brainwashed from a young age and became machines to obtain information for the village.
They could sacrifice themselves for the village at any time.
And in their eyes, sacrifice was a great honor.
Once this concept was formed, it was very difficult to change throughout their life.
However, Kabuto was different. It could be said that he was more selfish. Kabuto would constantly be looking for his own way.
"Unexpectedly, the spy industry has been involved!"
Not only did Aoba sigh, he silently made a judgment in his heart.
'If there are no accidents.'
'The two Anbu ninjas who were chatting were Kirigakure's spies.'
'They should be higher-level spies!'
'These two people knew about the existence of Oman, but Oman did not know about their existence.'
'Then...'
'The reason why these two people took the risk to rescue Oman.'
'There is only one reason.'
'Oman had been trapped in his compartment for too long.'
'As a result, the spies that Kirigakure had left in Konohagakure could not sit still. They are afraid that Oman will spit out "something" and that "something" will go wrong.'
"Let me think..."
Aoba rubbed his forehead as he walked, 'Since Oman is not a pawn that could be casually sacrificed, then there must be something in Oman's memory.'
'That thing...'
'It had been overlooked by him!'
'It should be something very important!'
Aoba was now heading in the direction of Anbu's dormitory. He was only thinking about these things and did not immediately search for Oman's memories.
However.
He was a little curious.
'What was Kirigakure thinking about?'
This was something he had not figured out when he was watching Naruto's anime.
'In this Third Ninja World War.'
'What did it have to do with Kirigakure?'
'Why did they send the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to attack Konohagakure?'
'Is it just to act as the background play for Duy to open the Eight Inner Gates Formation?'
'It couldn't be!'
'There is no love for no reason, no hatred for no reason; everything had root.'
'There wouldn't be a sudden attack without purpose.'
'Kumogakure's attack on Konohagakure can be attributed to their desire for Byakugan and Jinchuriki's strength.'
'Then, Kirigakure is willing to cooperate with Kumogakure to sneak attack Konohagakure. Moreover, they had sent out a powerful attack force. They didn't just casually send out a few cannon fodder.'
'It can really be said to have come across the ocean...'
Aoba vaguely felt that these details that he did not notice might be the answer to Kirigakure's sneak attack on Konohagakure.
"Go back and think about it slowly."
"Or..."
"Read the memories of those higher-level spies!"
Aoba couldn't think of the result, so he simply didn't think about it. This thing didn't rely on imagination.
He had a Mind Reading System.
This could be said to be a bug-level intelligence collector.
These questions.
He could slowly find the answer.
After throwing away these distracting thoughts, Aoba quickened his pace and walked in the direction of Anbu's dormitory.
At the same time.
He controlled his own perception.
He sensed the movements around him.
After all, the other party already knew his name and could take advantage of this opportunity to launch a sneak attack on him.
However...
At this time, the people around him were not paying attention to him.
"How do I find them?"
A question mark popped up in his head. He was now being targeted.
This was not a problem!
He was not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves thinking.
Aoba disliked the feeling of being secretly observed.
"I got it!"
Aoba suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a good solution.
"I don't know who they are!"
"But they know who I am!"
"As long as they come to me..."
"High-end hunters often appear in the form of prey!"
After thinking about it, Aoba immediately had a plan in his heart. He continued to walk calmly in the direction of Anbu's dormitory.
...
The road was extremely quiet.
Until Aoba returned to Anbu's dormitory.
He didn't even feel like he was being watched!
Obviously.
The spies hidden in the Anbu were very cautious and would not be easily exposed.
At this time.
Aoba sat at the table in Anbu's dormitory.
He took out the notebook that Fugaku had given him and then took out a pen.
He opened it to the second chapter page.
He quickly started writing.
Rustle rustle...
The sound of writing continuously rang out in the room. These sounds were especially clear in the quiet environment.
As time passed.
Aoba wrote two chapters of the story.
The entire process was very focused.
He was very satisfied with the content.
He closed the book in satisfaction.
His hands began to form hand seals.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique)!"
Aoba directly used Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique). In an instant, three shadow clones appeared in the room. Including Aoba's main body, there were a total of four people.
The four Aoba all lay down.
Among them, Aoba's main body lay on the bed, and the remaining three lay on the ground.
Almost at the same time.
All four Aoba closed their eyes and began to flip through the memories of the ninja named Oman.
Scene after scene appeared in the minds of four Aoba.
Including Aoba himself, the division of labor was very clear. Each of them flipped through the memories of different periods of time.
...
The next day, early in the morning.
Accompanied by three explosions, Aoba slowly opened his eyes. His pitch-black pupils flashed with a hint of understanding.
"I really almost missed something important!"
Aoba had only roughly read the memory of that Kirigakure ninja named Oman to find if there were any other spies, but he didn't think so clearly about other things.
After reading it again.
Aoba found a very hard-to-find detail.
This Oman was actually a spy with light and dark lines.
From the surface.
He was the spy that Kirigakure had arranged to enter Konohagakure.
But in the dark.
This Oman was a secret spy of Gen, a Kirigakure higher-up in the Country of Water.
From beginning to end.
Oman had never seen Gen before.
He had only seen the mission Gen left for him in the scroll.
This has been a thing in Oman since he was very young.
As for the mission...
It was actually a relay mission.
Even Oman himself did not know what the mission was. He just asked him to go to the woods behind the Hokage Building to take something inside a trunk.
There was a mark outside the trunk.
It looked like a small snake.
This small snake was not Orochimaru's small snake, but the appearance of the snake staff in Gen's hand.
"Good!"
Aoba was curious about that thing. In addition, he knew more about this matter in his heart, and he already knew what to do.
"This time..."
"Just treat it as a gift for Minato in advance!"
"After all, after Minato returns from Mount Myoboku, he can officially take over the position of Hokage."
The corners of Aoba's mouth slightly curled up, and his eyes flashed with the light of scheme.
Even he himself did not know.
Was it because he had read too many memories?
He was often in this kind of environment.
Compared to fighting openly.
He liked to trick people more.
That kind of feeling of sneak attacking in secret.
It was really too cool!
Especially the feeling of torturing people to death. Before the other party died, he did not know how he died. He also did not know who killed him. The completely inexplicable feeling would bring Aoba a great sense of accomplishment.
"Let me see how many spies Kirigakure has taken root here!"
Aoba got up from the iron bed and quickly washed up. Then he changed into Anbu's clothes, put on the cat face mask, and walked out of Anbu's dormitory.
Aoba did not go to his compartment.
Instead, he walked directly in the direction of Konohagakure Intelligence Division's black room.
He needed an alibi for what would happen later.
Not long after.
Aoba arrived at the door of the black room.
Dong Dong Dong...
Aoba gently knocked on the door, then pushed it open and walked in.
At this time.
Eaton, who was wearing a black trenchcoat, stood in the black room.
There was an iron square fence in front of him.
It was Eaton's Kuchiyose: Gōmon Heya(Summoning: Torture Chamber).
In this torture chamber.
There was a ninja locked up.
From the clothes and signs on his body.
This was a ninja of Iwagakure!
Sure enough.
Iwagakure still wanted to attack Konohagakure!
Aoba only glanced at this Iwagakure spy and had a general answer in his heart.
"Aoba, why are you here?"
Eaton looked at Aoba in confusion. He had just warmed up and was ready to interrogate this spy.
"En..."
Aoba saw this scene.
He suddenly realized that he had been reckless.
It was now the time of war.
Konohagakure Intelligence Division also got busy.
He didn't go to the other side of the war, so he didn't really feel the cruelty of the battlefield.
"That..."
"Brother Eaton."
"I'd better come back at a different time!"
After Aoba finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. Just as he took a step, Eaton's eyes suddenly lit up as he realized something very important.
"Wait!"
"Could it be..."
"It had been updated?"
