Teuchi placed one of the bottles of sake in front of Fugaku and the other one on his side. Then, he sat down.
"Fugaku, let me accompany you to drink a bottle."
Teuchi opened the bottle in front of him and poured the sake out into the cup.
"Hahaha, Brother Teuchi, you're the best!"
Fugaku accepted the sake bottle that Teuchi handed over with satisfaction. He immediately picked it up, opened the bottle, and poured a cup of sake as well.
"Come! Cheers!"
Fugaku picked up the cup and raised it towards Teuchi.
"Cheers!"
Teuchi also picked up the wine cup and raised it towards Fugaku.
Instantly.
The two wine cups collided.
After the ceremony of clinking glasses was completed, the two of them almost drank all the sake in the cup at the same time.
"Wonderful!"
After drinking this cup of sake, Teuchi felt much more comfortable.
During this period of time, even if the war did not spread to Konohagakure.
However, it still affected Konohagakure.
As the boss of Ramen Ichiraku, he disliked this feeling very much. It could be said that it directly affected his business. Now that he heard that the war was likely to end, he was very happy.
Teuchi and Fugaku were on different sides. He is just a ramen cook and does not care about the political things happening between the villages...
In comparison.
He was more concerned about the return of the ninja world to peace.
Teuchi was different from Fugaku and Aoba. He did not think much about the decisions of the Third Hokage. As long as Konohagakure was comfortable and stable, he would be very satisfied.
After Teuchi drank the sake in the cup in his hand.
Fugaku also drank the sake in the cup in one gulp.
The two of them sat together and toasted.
However, he was in a completely different mood.
"I really can't figure it out!"
After drinking the glass of sake, Fugaku continued to express his feelings.
"Kumogakure bullied our Konohagakure like this, but in the end, he still wanted to negotiate about peace..."
Fugaku was still immersed in this matter. It could be said that this was a fuse for him to be completely disappointed in the Third Hokage.
Before this.
Even if he had any opinions about the Third Hokage, he would only think about it in his heart.
He doesn't have such an emotional opinion!
But...
Everything changed at almost the same time when Gasshi ran away and the Third Hokage made a compromise.
For ten days.
Konohagakure and Kumogakure had only been testing each other.
No one had made a move yet.
Instead, they had captured quite a few people from other villages.
For example, Konohagakure Intelligence Division.
They didn't manage to catch Kumogakure's enemy but caught quite a few of Iwagakure's spies.
This led to a very strange phenomenon...
If the Third Hokage really made a compromise in exchange for peace in the end.
Then, in this short battle that completely couldn't be called Ninja World War, only one person died.
That was Fugaku's good friend.
Uchiha Sekai.
This was something that Fugaku could not accept at all.
...
This time, Aoba did not speak. As he ate his ramen, he glanced at Fugaku.
Perhaps...
From this moment on.
The Uchiha clan and the Konohagakure regime governed by the Third Hokage Group had completely broken off.
Regardless of whether the war would continue or not.
Fugaku had already completely lost confidence in the Third Hokage in his extremely cowardly operation.
...
Another period of time passed.
Fugaku couldn't speak anymore. He directly lay on the table, already unconscious.
It was obvious that he was already drunk!
Teuchi silently sipped the sake in his cup. His face did not change at all, not even red. His alcohol tolerance was quite good.
"Brother Teuchi, I have to go back."
Aoba finished the ramen in the bowl. He did not intend to care about Fugaku at all. This was not under his control. He still had many things to do.
"Okay."
Teuchi nodded and directly admitted that he would take care of Fugaku.
After all, he was drunk in his store.
Then.
Aoba walked out of the door.
Before he left, he glanced at Fugaku who was lying on the table.
One had to know that as long as he touched his head, he could read Fugaku's memories.
However, Aoba still gave up this opportunity.
The current Fugaku merely opened his Mangekyo Sharingan, and his strength was still in a state of improvement.
Moreover, Fugaku's filial son was not born yet, and there was still a period time before the mourning period, so it was not that urgent to read Fugaku's memories.
Wait a bit more...
He would slaughter them after they were fattened up.
There was no hurry now!
Aoba silently made up his mind. He knew that some ninjas should not be in a hurry to read their memories and could be raised slowly.
After that.
Aoba directly walked out of Ramen Ichiraku Noodle House and returned to Anbu's dormitory.
If it were before.
He might want to go to a place where there was no one and directly use Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) to go to the tall tower in the distant forest.
But today, he felt that he had to go back to Anbu's dormitory first.
He did not know if there would be any problems when he went back after all these things happened.
About half an hour later.
Aoba returned to the Anbu's dormitory. Before he went in, he saw Eaton waiting at the entrance.
Sure enough!
When Aoba saw Eaton, he immediately understood that his choice was right.
There was indeed a problem with Anbu's dormitory.
He knew that Eaton was waiting for him here.
"Brother Eaton!"
Aoba immediately walked towards the entrance of Anbu's dormitory and wave at Eaton as he walked.
When Aoba greeted Eaton, Eaton's gaze also fell on Aoba.
At this moment.
Their gazes collided.
"Aoba, why did you come back so late? I have been waiting for you here for a long time!"
When Eaton saw Aoba, he immediately stepped forward to meet Aoba and sized him up.
"Are you alright?"
After seeing that Aoba was completely unharmed, Eaton felt relieved. From his expression, he seemed to have been very nervous just now.
"Brother Eaton, what's wrong?"
Aoba was stunned for a moment. He was still a little puzzled by Eaton's reaction.
"This is not the place to talk. Go to your dormitory!"
Eaton nodded at Aoba, then turned around and walked into Anbu's dormitory. It looked like he was returning to his own dormitory.
"Eh..."
Aoba was stunned for a moment, but he still followed behind Eaton. He looked at Eaton's back and vaguely felt that there seemed to be something, but nothing seemed to have happened.
This feeling was strange.
It seemed to be deliberately made.
Not long after.
Aoba and Eaton came to the door of Aoba's dormitory.
"Brother Eaton, come in."
Aoba opened the door and let Eaton enter the roo first. Then he followed and walked up.
"Your dormitory is really clean!"
It was not the first time that Eaton had entered Aoba's dormitory. Last time, he had this feeling. But this time, it was more real.
It seemed...
The things in this dormitory were even less than last time!
"Brother Eaton, just now you said you were looking for me. What happened?" Aoba could not help but ask.
"Didn't you find a Sunagakure spy today? His name is Mani!"
Eaton nodded. His expression instantly returned to normal. His eyes stared at Aoba, and his eyes flashed with a dignified light.
"No..."
Aoba quickly shook his head and explained.
"That Sunagakure spy was not discovered by me. It was discovered by our Yamanaka clan's senior. I made a major mistake at that time and almost let that spy escape."
Aoba did not take any credit. Instead, he threw the credit out. In his opinion, any credit here was a negative buff.
He did not need to use these contributions to embellish himself and attract the attention of more people.
Low profile.
As soon as Aoba said this, the lines on Eaton's face became softer.
It was this smell!
This was what Eaton was most optimistic about!
Eaton could not tell if Aoba really thought so. Everything was out of instinct or deliberate.
In short.
This made him feel very comfortable when he was working with Aoba.
"I came to you this time to remind you of this matter. Sunagakure's spy, Mani, is not alone!" Eaton said with a serious expression.
"Is he not human?"
Aoba was stunned for a moment. He felt that something was wrong. He had already read Mani's memories and had even looked through them. However, he did not check the details in detail.
'Wait...'
'Something is wrong.'
'Could it be that Brother Eaton is referring to...'
'Mani was a minotaur?'
"Aoba, you misunderstood what I meant. I am talking about Sunagakure's spy. Not only Mani but there are other Sunagakure spies in the village!"
Eaton's expression was extremely serious. He had specially come here to wait for Aoba after learning this information.
He thought that Aoba had already returned to Anbu's dormitory.
He did not expect that he would have to wait for so long.
Just now, he was worried that something would happen to Aoba.
"The other spies of Sunagakure are not among Anbu. If I am not wrong, they already know your name. It would be best to try not to leave Konohagakure Intelligence Division recently. Be careful!" Eaton said to Aoba.
"Do they have the guts to deal with me in Konohagakure?" Aoba was stunned for a moment.
"Before Anbu gathered, Mani took nerve-disturbing drugs, so that village could not find his identity as a spy in Mani's memory. There were other Sunagakure spies in the village, but who were those people..."
Eaton paused for a moment, then shook his head.
"We don't know their name yet!"
As Eaton said this, Aoba immediately understood what Eaton was worried about.
The spy was originally in the dark.
They still don't know their names.
It would be very difficult to find them like this.
Because of this.
Eaton was very worried about him!
"Thank you, Brother Eaton!"
Aoba immediately thanked Eaton. He found that having a good relationship with Eaton would have a very good effect. That was, if there was any sign of trouble, Eaton would immediately tell him and remind him.
These reminders seemed to be a very small thing.
But most of the time, it could make Aoba mentally prepared.
For example, the gathering of Anbu this time.
"During this period of time, I won't go anywhere. I will just stay in Konohagakure Intelligence Division!"
Aoba guaranteed to Eaton.
Of course.
He was just saying this to Eaton, but not really doing it.
It could also become a cover for him.
In the future.
No matter what happened.
He had never left Konohagakure Intelligence Division.
For him...
Eaton was the person who provided him with the alibi.
"Hahahahaha, that's right!"
When Eaton heard Aoba's words, he immediately relaxed. He instinctively raised his right hand, wanting to pat Aoba's shoulder.
However, just as he raised his hand, he immediately realized that Aoba's body was weak and could not withstand such a slap.
He hurriedly retracted his extended right hand.
"Cough cough..."
Eaton cleared his throat to ease the awkwardness from before. Then, he stared at Aoba with a meaningful look in his eyes.
"It hasn't been peaceful outside recently. If you can't go out, then don't go out. Konohagakure Intelligence Division is still very safe!" Eaton said.
"Yes!" Aoba immediately responded.
"Especially this time, after the Anbu went through a large screening, there were no spies. It could be said that there were no enemies inside, so you could stay here at ease." Eaton said again.
"Yes!" Aoba responded again. He vaguely had a feeling that Eaton was circling around in a circle as if this person had something to say.
"But..."
Eaton's tone suddenly changed. He stared at Aoba, his eyes flashing with excitement.
"This period of time can give you a quiet time to compose. You can quietly write novels in the dormitory after finishing Konohagakure Intelligence Division's work every day..."
After Eaton said this, Aoba's face suddenly became black.
'Good fellow!'
'I thought you were genuinely concerned about me!'
'So you are only concerned about Teacher Bai!'
'No wonder you were so worried that I would be targeted by Sunagakure's spy...'
'I felt that something is wrong just now!'
'How could a spy have the guts to stare at Konohagakure Intelligence Division's ninja? Don't they want to live?'
'It turned out that this is all Eaton's imagination.'
'Or...'
'It is an excuse specially made for Aoba to quickly write!'
"I understand!"
Aoba nodded helplessly. He looked meaningfully at Eaton. He finally understood. This LSP Captain was not afraid of his death at all. Instead, he was afraid that the story of Teacher Bai would disappear if he died.
"That's right! It's good that you understand! I'm just here to remind you. I'm relieved that you're fine. Then I won't disturb your creation anymore. Hurry up!"
Eaton winked at Aoba and said. He had been reading Teacher Bai's old manuscript for many days.
There was no novelty in this!
Now he wanted to know what the later story was!
After saying this.
Eaton left Aoba's dormitory...
"Is Teacher Bai's charm that strong?"
Aoba looked at the dormitory door that Eaton closed and muttered silently. He was experienced and knowledgeable in the modern world. He only remembered the plot and did not feel much.
He originally did not want to become a professional author in the ninja world. At that time, the purpose of writing Teacher Bai was to attract Eaton's attention.
Who would have thought that Eaton would actually think of it like this?
Really...
Aoba felt that Eaton already had the feeling that those netizens on the Internet were asking for resources.
"It's time to get down to business!"
Aoba immediately controlled his chakra and communicated with the Flying Thunder God Formula at the tower. He instantly used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique).
Swish!
Aoba's body flashed in the dormitory and disappeared.
Almost at the same time.
Aoba appeared on the third floor of the tower in the middle of the forest.
At this time.
On the third floor of the tower stood another Aoba. It was Aoba's shadow clone.
Other than that.
There were also two Root ninjas who the paper seal had suppressed.
These two were both in a state of sleep and had not woken up.
Aoba nodded at the shadow clone.
"Bang!"
The shadow clone returned to Aoba's body and transmitted everything that happened in the tower that day to him.
Now that Aoba had mastered Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique), he could already skillfully use the various BUG operations of the shadow clone.
Let the shadow clone help with training.
Let the shadow clone help him read books.
Let the shadow clone act.
Let the shadow clone help monitor the tower.
The shadow clone can do many things, thereby freeing his body and allowing him to do whatever he wants.
After Aoba took back the shadow clone, he walked from the third floor of the tower to the first floor.
When he arrived at the dojo, he immediately formed a seal with his hands.
He used Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique).
One shadow clone after another appeared on the field, filling it up.
"Memories the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu!"
Aoba gave this order again. He felt that after this night, this Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu could be imprinted in his mind.
As his voice fell.
These shadow clones began their own work.
Among them.
Two shadow clones did not memories the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu content.
One went to the third floor of the tower to keep watch and stared at the two Root ninjas.
The other one uses Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) to return to Anbu's dormitory, guard the dormitory in place of Aoba, and write Teacher Bai's next story.
After Aoba finished everything.
He sat directly on the ground of the dojo and slowly closed his eyes.
"I want to see who the Sunagakure spies in Mani's memory are!"
