"That's good too!"
After hesitating for a moment, Eaton nodded excitedly. He quickly took the book that Aoba handed over. He was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
During this period of time, he was thinking about Teacher Bai's story every day.
He wished that he could tie Aoba and use the whip to urge Aoba to update every day.
This feeling...
He believed many people had it before.
They want to lock the author in a small black room and force him to update every day!
If not for the fact that Aoba had a backer like Tsunade behind him.
Eaton might really do it.
"Brother Eaton, take your time. I'm going to work. I'll find some time to write more in the next few days."
After handing the book to Eaton, Aoba walked directly to the small black room.
Last night, he had assigned a shadow clone to write the story of this Teacher Bai.
Now, he had already written five more chapters.
It was enough for Eaton to use for a period of time.
Then.
Aoba turned around and walked in the direction of his compartment.
He did not stay here for long.
Eaton stared at the direction that Aoba left in and slowly nodded.
"I still have to urge him to update!"
After sighing, Eaton turned around and left, walking directly towards the office.
The small black room was still inconvenient.
Usually, no one else would come to his office.
...
When Aoba returned to his compartment.
There was not a single person inside the compartment.
"There are still three days left before Kumogakure's envoy team arrives. If the Third Hokage successfully avoids this matter, the situation will be different."
Aoba took a deep breath. He originally did not want to care about these things. He just wanted to quietly go to work every day, live a leisurely life, and silently accumulate his strength.
But...
All of this had to be established under a stable situation!
Normally speaking.
Don't stop the Third Ninja World War!
When it was over!
All would suffer some pain!
This way, all the major forces in the Ninja World would be honest, and there would be no more problems.
If not for the Third Ninja World War, Hiruzen wouldn't have passed down the position of Hokage. It wouldn't be long before Minato returned from his sage mode practice. As one of his few friends, he will pave the way for him!
Aoba silently made up his mind. This time, he had stirred up the muddy waters of the world, and the rest would be handed over to Minato.
Step step step...
Right at this time.
The sound of footsteps came from outside the door.
It was the guard leader in charge of sending in and out the prisoners.
The guard leader walked in with seven prisoners waiting to be interrogated. His eyes looked through at Aoba.
"Hey, Cat Face Demon, I brought seven people over for you this time. Yesterday, you went to the Anbu meeting, so there were a lot of people!"
The guard leader specially called Aoba "Cat Face Demon", and emphasized this name to the several prisoners around him.
Sure enough.
When the seven of them heard the name 'Cat Face Demon', they widened their eyes in shock.
This name was already very famous in their circle.
It could be described as ear-piercing!
As long as a criminal entered Konohagakure Intelligence Division and unfortunately enter the cat-faced demon compartment.
Then this person's criminal life could be announced to be over!
Otherwise...
If he had once again entered the cat-faced demon compartment, then his entire life would be gone!
The news of the cat-faced demon had become more and more exaggerated in the small circles at the bottom of Konohagakure.
Some things were spread in different versions and some things that even Aoba himself had never heard of!
For example...
Some criminals who had seen the cat-faced demon had actually become a real cat-faced demon and eat the person who had entered for the second time in front of everyone.
This version was very outrageous.
However, there were still people who believed it.
The seven people who had come here had all heard of this version. Their faces all turned green, afraid to see the cat-faced demon eat people.
"Tie them up!"
The guard leader waved to the guards behind him, and then everyone tied these people to the compartment pillar.
Now the guard leader had learned to be smart.
Those who looked easy to deal with would be sent to other compartments.
Those who came to Konoha's prison that was hard to deal with were all thrown into the compartment of this cat-faced demon.
The evil still needed to be ground by evil!
The guard leader had known this before, but he had never done it. Those habitual criminals were old foxes and were not afraid of him at all.
However.
Those people were now afraid of the cat-faced demon.
This also made the guard leader have a bad taste. As long as he did not like it, he would send it to the cat-faced demon.
Gradually.
The dignity of the guard leader also rose.
After all, it was not random that the prisoners would be sent to a compartment. It was decided by the guard leader.
They were not afraid of the guard leader.
However, they were afraid of being sent to the cat-faced demon's compartment.
After the guards tied the seven prisoners up, they left one after another.
At this point.
There were only eight people left in the compartment.
Apart from Aoba.
The seven prisoners were already shivering.
All of a sudden.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Aoba.
It was the same as what they had imagined.
On the mask, there was a very good-looking cat face.
If there was no previous foreshadowing.
They would think that this cat's face was very cute.
But now...
They felt that this was a face from hell.
"Is this your second time here?"
Aoba's indifferent voice echoed in this quiet compartment and made them feel uncomfortable.
For a moment.
There was no sound at all.
No one dared to speak at this time.
Of course.
It was their first time!
No one had experience facing a cat-faced demon. Everything came from the rumors outside.
"Is it all the first time?" Aoba looked at the seven prisoners, then shook his head and said, "Then we can only randomly choose one lucky person!"
Suddenly.
Aoba took a step and walked toward the first prisoner.
Just after Aoba moved.
The expressions of these prisoners all changed drastically.
Everyone's eyes shone with fear.
Fear!
Deep fear!
These people did not even dare to look into Aoba's eyes.
...
In the following period of time.
Aoba touched the heads of every prisoner who came into his compartment.
He confirmed that no one came here for the second time.
Then he turned his attention to a young man with white hair.
This person was a repeat offender!
Through the memory of this white-haired youth, Aoba found that the latter did all things that harmed others to please oneself.
For example, when he was bored, he would cut off the legs of the chair on the side of the street and watch people fall later when they sat on it.
There was also something like smearing glue on the door handle of Konoha's hospital. Then, when the medical ninja opened the door, the hand and the doorknob were glued together.
This white-haired youth also sprinkled some nails on Konohagakure main road so that when the carriage passed by, it would be stuck on the horse's hoof.
There were countless such things.
Even Aoba thought it was very exciting after seeing it.
This white-haired youth's parents had died since he was a child. He had a very reclusive and lacking in love characteristic, but he was different from Naruto. He did these things not to attract the attention of others but to make his heart feel happy.
This kind of thing could not be put in his head most of the time. After all, many people did not know who did it.
But, over time.
Walking by the river often, how could he not wet his shoes!
The last time he was caught was when this white-haired youth smeared soap in the bathroom floor of the Ninja School, and then secretly watched the students slip on the floor tiles.
This process was discovered by the teachers of the Ninja School, so he was caught.
Only...
Everything that this white-haired youth did could be said to be a small matter, a very small matter.
It would not bring much punishment.
Even when he was waiting in Konoha's prison to go to Konohagakure Intelligence Division, he was still very arrogant and did not take the words of the guard leader to heart.
Now the retribution came...
The guard leader directly sent him to Aoba's compartment.
Aoba could also sense the guard leader's intentions from this white-haired youth's memories.
Although the guard leader did not know that Aoba would read everyone's memories and then punish some people who had more serious crimes based on their memories. He always wanted to teach this person a lesson so that he could restrain himself in the future and not bring too much trouble to the village.
"It's you!"
Aoba raised his hand and pointed at the white-haired youth. There was an unquestionable determination in his tone.
Since what this person did was basically disgusting and there was no way to make too much of a punishment. Then as a member of the Konohagakure Intelligence Division, Aoba had to use his method to help the village.
"Me?"
The white-haired youth instantly widened his eyes. He never thought that among the seven people, he would be chosen.
In a split second.
His face turned as pale as his hair.
He had no strength left in his body and was about to collapse.
When Aoba pointed at the white-haired youth.
The other six heaved a sigh of relief. They understood that they had temporarily overcome this crisis.
Under everyone's gaze.
Aoba walked towards the white-haired youth step by step.
Soon.
Aoba walked up to the white-haired youth and untied the rope around him.
"Come over here!"
Aoba grabbed the collar of the white-haired youth and pulled him over like a chicken. Then, he threw him forward.
Bang!
The white-haired youth fell heavily to the ground.
"Ouch..."
The white-haired youth held his waist with his right hand and cried out in pain. After this fall, his whole body was not feeling good.
After the white-haired youth was thrown out.
The remaining six prisoners all stared at Aoba in surprise.
This...
Was it really interrogation?
They gradually understood why this interrogator ninja wearing a cat face mask in front of them was called a cat-faced demon.
He really was a demon!
"Congratulations, you have been chosen. Now I will give you some simple punishment!"
Aoba's indifferent voice echoed in the compartment. As he walked toward the white-haired youth, everyone's heart was in their throats.
"If you come here for the second time..."
Aoba paused, his pitch-black eyes shining through the mask.
"You will be able to experience the harsh punishment!"
After saying that.
Aoba walked to the front of the white-haired youth, stretched out his left hand, and grabbed the white-haired youth's neck.
Then, he lifted the white-haired youth up again.
The entire movement was completed in one breath.
There was no obstruction at all.
Aoba held the white-haired youth and reached into the ninja bag with his right hand, taking out a kunai.
Under the faint light of the compartment, the sharp blade flashed with a different kind of cold light.
"You... You... What are you going to do?"
When the white-haired youth saw the kunai in Aoba's hand. His eyes instantly widened and were in a state of extreme horror.
"Didn't I say it just now..."
Aoba's indifferent voice sounded again. This was not only for the white-haired youth but also for the rest of the people present.
"I want to give you a simple punishment!"
After that.
Aoba took the kunai and press it over the white-haired youth.
Even though it had yet to pierce through this youth's skin.
However, the feeling of metal and skin pressing against each other had already caused the white-haired youth's hair to stand on end, and his heart was in extreme terror.
...
Time flew.
The day passed quickly.
On this day, Aoba sent out more than thirty people from the compartment.
However, only the white-haired youth was especially taken care of.
It was not until the last batch of prisoners finished writing the confession that the white-haired youth followed them out.
The guard leader was wearing a mask.
This made Aoba unable to see his expression.
However, Aoba could feel the satisfaction in the guard leader's heart.
It was time to get off work.
Aoba walked out of Konohagakure Intelligence Division's compartment and walked directly to his own dormitory.
This time.
He did not meet Eaton again.
It was obvious that this update was enough for Eaton to use for a period of time.
Not long after.
Aoba smoothly returned to Konohagakure Intelligence Division's dormitory. He took off Anbu's clothes and changed into casual clothes.
Then.
Aoba used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) and went directly to the top of the tower.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
With the arrival of Aoba.
All the shadow clones in the tower let out explosive sounds, and then a stream of information was transmitted into his mind.
It was the information about training's water release.
This made Aoba slow down for more than ten minutes.
"Phew..."
Aoba let out a long sigh of relief. Then, his figure flashed, and he used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) to appear on the dojo on the first floor of the tower.
The dojo was wet!
He could clearly see the traces left behind by the battle of over a thousand people.
This was still the shadow clone deliberately controlling their strength.
It didn't cause too much water to flow here.
Otherwise, the water sprayed out from the tower would probably be able to irrigate the surrounding forest.
In a split second.
Aoba crossed his hands and formed a hand seal with his fingers crossed.
"Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique)!"
Aoba said in a calm voice. Then, thousands of shadow clones appeared on the dojo again.
"You all understand what I mean, right?"
The corners of Aoba's mouth slightly curled up. He discovered that Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique) was really bug-level ninjutsu.
Every shadow clone was a physical body.
Every shadow clone had a part of his chakra and had the same consciousness as him.
Moreover, these shadow clones could also transmit everything they had experienced back to the main body.
This was too much of a bug!
Aoba had already found more and more ways to use the shadow clones.
"Understood!"
Thousands of shadow clones answered in unison.
After that.
These shadow clones all entered into a different division of work.
Some shadow clones began to train water-release ninjutsu from the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu.
Some shadow clones went upstairs to monitor the two Root ninjas.
Some shadow clones returned to Aoba's dormitory and stay in the dormitory.
Other than that.
There were still more than a dozen shadow clones that had not moved.
They stayed on Aoba's side.
They knew very well themselves.
There were even more special missions on them.
"Come with me!"
Aoba brought the shadow clones to the second floor.
There were rooms one after another on the second floor.
Aoba randomly chose one. After bringing the shadow clones in, his gaze swept over the room.
"This place can be set up as a study in the future, but there are some tables and chairs missing."
Aoba muttered silently in his heart. Then, he turned to look at the two shadow clones behind him.
"The two of you changed into the appearances of Sunagakure spies. Go and buy some things and come back. You should know exactly how to do it!"
Aoba still explained little by little. Even though his shadow clone clearly knew what he was thinking.
"Remember, you must try to expose your faces as much as possible. But you can't let people follow you, and you can't bump into other Sunagakure's spies!" Aoba reminded them again.
"Understood!"
The two clones nodded, and instantly, pieces of paper appeared on their bodies. These pieces of paper were like poker cards emitting clattering sounds.
After these pieces of paper flipped over, they finally changed into the appearance of the other two people.
It was the appearance of two of Sunagakure's spies in Mani's memory.
After completing this change.
The two shadow clones looked at each other and immediately used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) to communicate with the Flying Thunder God Formula on a tree in the forest. Their entire bodies instantly disappeared.
"Now, let's do something else..."
Aoba looked at the other clones beside him and finally landed on the two.
"The two of you transform into the appearances of these two Root ninjas. Go back and report to Danzo that the mission has been completed. Although it delayed a little, the problem is not too big!" Aoba said to the other two clones.
"Understood!"
The two shadow clones nodded as well. Then, the paper on their bodies rolled up and turned into the appearance of the two Root ninjas tied up.
"The main purpose of your trip to Root is to find information about Hari!"
Aoba calmly explained. He wanted to clearly tell every task to these shadow clones.
Even if they knew.
However, if he didn't say it once, he would feel uneasy. He had to be careful no matter what he did!
"If you can find information about Hari, you have to remove the shadow clone and send the information back!"
"If there is a possibility of being exposed, then it depends on the situation. You have to remove the shadow clone before it you are exposed, but you can't let others know that you are shadow clones!"
"If the opportunity allows..."
Aoba said three 'ifs' in a row, taking care of every possibility as much as possible. He had a very detailed plan in his mind, but the plan could never keep up with the changes.
In the process of carrying out the mission.
No one could guarantee that the mission would go according to their expectations and without any accidents.
So it should be explained.
"After obtaining Hari's information, you can disguise yourself as Kumogakure's intruder and make a simple ruckus at the Root before leaving..."
After Aoba finished speaking, he felt that this effect was too extreme.
However, as long as it could be completed.
That would be even better!
After all, on the issue of Hari, there were still some differences between Hiruzen and Danzo!
Danzo was a typical eagle faction, and his methods were more radical. When he encountered such a thing, he would definitely not easily negotiate with Kumogakure.
"Yes!"
The two shadow clones nodded heavily. They all received the message that Aoba had sent over. Then, their figures flashed and disappeared.
After Aoba had instructed them, there were only six shadow clones left on the scene.
"The two of you will also transform into the appearances of these two Root ninjas and go to Orochimaru's secret base. In the name of Danzo, you will ask Orochimaru about the Corpse Dissolving Water. In the entire process, once there is a problem with the mission, you will immediately remove the shadow clone." Aoba directly said to the two shadow clones in front of him.
"Yes!"
After the two clones received the order, their bodies emitted a crashing sound. Pieces of paper began to flip over their bodies. Finally, through Kami no Shisha no Jutsu(Paper Person of God Technique), they formed a disguise on their bodies and directly transformed into the appearance of the two Root ninjas.
After the entire transformation process ended.
The figures of advanced paper clones, who had transformed into Root Ninjas, suddenly disappeared.
"Your mission is more important!"
Aoba stared at the four people and explained something to them. Then the four people left the place one after another.
After arranging all these people.
Aoba looked at the forest outside through the window of the second floor.
"Everything is ready now. It won't be long before the entire Konohagakure, even the Ninja World, will be in chaos..."
Aoba knew very well what he was doing. He was not trying to disturb the world but to make all the factors that could cause the world to be in chaos explode in this chaos.
This way, he would be able to solve these problems bit by bit in the follow-up matters, and then allow the Ninja World to return to peace.
"What about now..."
The corners of Aoba's mouth curled up into a meaningful smile. His mind was still quickly plotting his plans. After being influenced by Konohagakure Intelligence Division during this period of time. He had gradually become more and more proficient in how to deal with things to ensure his own stability.
"It's time to drag Sunagakure into the water!"
