The moment Aoba said this, everyone became excited.
Right now, their biggest problem was that they had never seen the contents of this book. No one had seen it before and only heard a little description from Kaze. However, it was just a little description. It was enough to make them certain that they would definitely like the contents of this book very much.
Even so, they still wanted to see it.
If they could see the first chapter before the book was released, it would be a great benefit for them.
"Aoba, you are really a good person!"
"A Nice man!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! I can't wait any longer!"
"You're too good! I'm so touched!"
"..."
The eyes of these ninjas all lit up. They had read novels of the same type before, but they felt that they were far away from the author, and they did not even know who the author was.
Now, they found out that an author was beside them.
How could they let him go?
Now that they had obtained Aoba's approval, they felt extremely comfortable.
"Senpai, I will go back first. Tomorrow morning, everyone comes to Konohagakure Intelligence Division to find me. I will give you a copy of the first chapter!"
Aoba waved his hand at everyone. Without waiting for these people to respond, he quickly fled this place and did not dare to stay any longer.
Too terrifying!
The desire in their eyes made him feel that these people were not ordinary wolves.
When Aoba first wrote the story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School, he did not expect it to be so popular in Anbu's range.
His original intention was to attract Eaton's attention through this.
Now, he suddenly found that everything had changed.
Wait...
Aoba thought of Eaton.
He immediately thought of the reason why he was looking for Eaton at that time. It was to cast a camouflage on his clone in order to sell explosive tags.
Now...
It was time to buy a batch of blank paper tags.
The blank paper tags in Aoba's hands were still relatively exhausted. He threw all the explosive tags that he had drawn up earlier onto the tree trunk of Kumogakure's envoy group.
It was precisely because of this operation of his. It directly wiped out Kumogakure's envoy group, and can be said that they were all wiped out!
Almost wiped out… After all, Brei had run away.
Then.
Aoba walked in the direction of Konohagakure Intelligence Division without any intention of going anywhere else.
Just like that, he walked slowly.
Gradually.
Time ticked by.
After Aoba had walked for more than ten minutes, he suddenly found an empty alley.
Aoba turned around the corner and then walked out. The entire process only lasted for a split second. However, in this split second. Aoba had already used Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique) and summoned a shadow clone. The paper on the shadow clone flipped around and turned into another person through Kami no Shisha no Jutsu(Paper Person of God Technique).
That person...
It was Yamanaka Kaze, who was currently staying at the root.
At this time, not many people knew about Kaze's promotion, especially not so quickly. Now, he could make use of Kaze's identity.
Just as Aoba was walking toward Konohagakure Intelligence Division. The Kaze that Aoba had transformed into was walking toward the ninja tool store step by step.
Soon.
Aoba's advanced paper clone came to the ninja tool store.
"Boss, I want blank paper tags. I want as many as you can."
Aoba's advanced paper clone said in Kaze's tone. This identity was a one-time use. After using it, he would directly throw it away.
Moreover… this was Aoba's payback to Kaze.
In the mission that Danzo had assigned not long ago, Aoba had revealed a few memories, allowing Kaze to step onto the path of promotion directly.
However, Kaze's performance during this period did not satisfy Aoba. Since that was the case, Aoba would give Kaze a small gift instead.
"You want all the blank paper tags?"
The ninja tool store boss' eyes were filled with confusion. He had seen this youth before. Not only this young man. The boss could be said to know almost all the young men in Konohagakure.
As long as a ninja came to buy things from him. He had an impression of them all.
After all, Konohagakure was big, but there were only a few people inside. As long as they bought a ninja tool, he would have an impression of them.
This ninja who walked in now was even more so. The impression was very deep!
Yamanaka Kaze.
A famous ninja from the Yamanaka clan.
Sometimes, it was often like this. How talented a ninja was might not be known, but a ninja who could not learn complex ninjutsu was easily remembered.
This was how Kaze was remembered.
"Why did you buy blank paper tags?" The store boss asked doubtfully. That kind of paper tag was used by people who could draw various paper tags. It seemed that this ability was not related to Kaze at all.
"Why do you care so much? I'll give you money, and you give me something. Isn't it over?" Aoba's advanced paper clone imitated Kaze's tone. His tone was very direct and a little floating.
"Ah?"
When the store boss heard Aoba's advanced paper clone's words, he was stunned.
He was concerned about Kaze. This was also out of good intentions, and didn't want Kaze to spend money to buy useless things.
The result.
This kid didn't know how to appreciate people's kindness. Then there was no other way.
The store boss's face changed. He lowered his head slightly and tried his best to keep his eyes from Kaze.
"How many do you want to buy?" The store boss asked coldly. He was a typical good person and didn't like arrogant people. Since the other party didn't give him any good face, then there was no need for him to be polite to Kaze.
"I said I want all of them!"
Aoba's advanced paper clone still imitated Kaze's tone. The tone he used now was the tone that Kaze used after successfully securing the promotion.
Actually, it wasn't that he was trying to create hatred for Kaze.
There was no need to draw hatred. As long as Kaze performed normally, he would be able to make enemies continuously.
Before Aoba gave this opportunity to Kaze, he did not investigate Kaze's character.
Of course, he also disdained to investigate. This kind of thing happened too suddenly. Who knew when Danzo would make such a thing and what kind of people would participate?
This was a matter of random nature.
Aoba casually found Kaze. However, Kaze's subsequent performance made him feel very disappointed. Because of this, Aoba decided to use Kaze again to pave the way for what happened next.
"..."
When the store boss heard Kaze's words, he was extremely unhappy. He raised his eyes and rolled his eyes at Kaze.
"I have 3000 blank paper tags here. I can sell them all to you, but can you pay?" The store boss said snappily.
"Yes, I want all of them." Aoba's advanced paper clone immediately nodded. After a few rounds, he had a lot of funds on hand. What he needed now was more blank paper tags.
"150 ryo per blank paper tags. I have 3000 here, so a total of 450,000 ryo." The store boss said coldly.
"???"
After listening to this sentence, Aoba was completely stunned.
Good fellow.
In the past, when he used his identity to come here, it could be said that blank paper tags were 100 ryo a piece, and if he bought them in bulk, he could give them 80 ryo a piece.
Now, with Kaze's identity. The price directly rose to 150 ryo a piece. It seems...Kaze was really unpopular.
"I can't afford that much."
Aoba's advanced paper clone shook his head. He reached into his ninja pouch and took out a small bag. There was a stack of banknotes inside.
"I have a total of 60,000 ryo here. I'll buy 400."
Aoba's advanced paper clone directly took out the 60,000 ryo of banknotes in the bag. Like a rich young master, he trow the banknotes heavily on the counter.
Snapped!
"???"
The store boss looked at the banknotes that Kaze threw over, and his pupils shrank fiercely. His eyes flashed with anger.
He had never seen such a person!
Didn't you want to buy all of them?
Now that you know the price, you can't afford it?
You dare to say that you want all 3000 blank paper tags?
Who gave you the courage?
The store boss cursed in his heart. Of course, he only said these words in his heart and did not really say them, but it did not stop him from starting to hate Kaze.
If you change it to another customer and he directly takes out 60,000 ryo. The ninja tool shop boss would look up to him.
After all, it was very difficult for ninjas to earn such money. They needed to complete many tasks unless they were lucky enough to find some rich corpses when participating in the Ninja World War.
Otherwise, it would be very difficult to earn that much money!
But now, the store boss did not feel anything when he saw this money. He just wanted this annoying fellow to leave his ninja tool store quickly.
The.
He walked toward the place where the paper tags were stored and directly took out a bag. He then threw in boxes of blank paper tags.
20 pieces for each box, so a total of 20 boxes. He then threw them into the bag without properly arranging them.
Then, the store boss returned to the counter and threw the bag directly at Kaze.
"Your blank paper tags."
After the store boss threw out the blank paper tag boxes, he put away the money on the table.
This could be considered a one-handed transaction.
Aoba's advanced paper clone received the blank paper tags that were thrown over. His goal had been achieved. Then, he glared at the store boss.
"Humph!"
Aoba's advanced paper clone imitated Kaze's tone and coldly snorted. Then, he turned around and left, walking out of the store.
The store boss looked at the shadow that Kaze had left and suddenly pursed his lips, showing a fierce expression.
"What the hell!"
The store boss already felt that there was something wrong with Kaze. This was not just about his strength and talent!
There was something wrong with this person's character!
This person had a problem with his character!
This person gave off an unpleasant aura!
The store boss thought that he was always calm. It had been a long time since he had hated a person like this. Kaze directly drilled into his heart.
...
After leaving the store, Aoba's advanced paper clone quickly went into the small forest to avoid the surrounding gazes as much as possible.
A moment later, Aoba's advanced paper clone found a place where there was no one. After that, he immediately used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique). His perception then locked onto the Flying Thunder God Formula on the second floor of the tower.
Swish!
Aoba's advanced paper clone flashed and disappeared in an instant. Almost in an instant, Aoba's advanced paper clone appeared on the second floor of the tower.
He threw the blank paper tags on the table, then clapped his hands together.
"Bang!"
At this moment, Aoba had just returned to Konohagakure Intelligence Division's compartment. Before he could sit down. Information flooded into his brain.
The corners of Aoba's mouth curled up. It seemed that the arrangement was quite perfect. It successfully made the store boss hate Kaze. This could be said to have laid a foundation for a part of his plan.
In fact.
When Aoba faced the blank paper tags that had already increased the price. There was no dissatisfaction. He just treat it as a bonus to this store boss who was very good to him.
It was just that it wasn't him who made this store boss angry. It was clearly Kaze who provoked him!
...
Step step step step step...
Just as Aoba had just received the information that the shadow clone had brought back, the guard leader brought a group of people over.
"Wow!"
After the guard leader pushed open the compartment's door, his gaze focused on Aoba. His gaze swept over the cat face mask on Aoba's face and deliberately made a relatively exaggerated sound.
"Cat-faced demon, you're back!"
The guard leader seemed to be greeting Aoba, but in fact, he was talking to the people who were about to be brought in.
"You have been away for half a day. I have brought a lot of people here, and now they are all handed over to you!"
The guard leader said with a smile. He waved to the guards beside him, indicating that they could bring these people in.
All of a sudden, these people all looked at Aoba. Especially when they saw the cat face mask on Aoba's face, all the cells in their body were filled with fear, and even their breathing became rapid.
Terrifying!
They had just arrived at Konohagakure Intelligence Division. They saw the legendary cat-faced demon.
In a split second, the guards tied them up. After tying them up. The guard leader waved to the guards outside the door.
After that, another group of people was brought in. After this group of people entered, the compartment instantly became crowded.
"So many?"
Aoba looked at them in a daze. He had thought that there might be some prisoners, but he had not expected that there would be so many people.
"The first batch of people sent in were all Konohagakure people and the surrounding areas. Because the war had temporarily stopped, they all had some thoughts." The guard leader explained.
After that, he pointed at the people who had just been sent in.
"The second batch is the merchants from the Country of Water. They transported seafood from the Country of Water and sold it to the Country of Fire. After they came to Konohagakure, something happened, and they were caught by Konoha Military Police Force. As for what exactly happened, you can slowly investigate!"
The guard leader also felt that the matter was quite troublesome, especially when it involved other villages, so he directly threw this kind of trouble to the cat-faced demon. He knew that cat-faced demon was most capable of dealing with troublesome matters.
"I'm leaving."
After the guard leader said this, he directly turned around and left. As he left, the guards also left.
At this point, the compartment became a crowded place for Aoba and these prisoners. This compartment was obviously not enough. The merchants from the Country of Water were not even tied up. After all, they were just ordinary people, not ninjas.
"Is there anyone among you who came for the second time?"
Aoba asked indifferently. There were a lot of people here now, so he could only symbolically ask.
As he spoke, there was no response from anyone at all. After all… Even the people who came here for the second time would not admit it so directly. If they did, they would only be tortured.
They had to stay silent for a bit. What if this cat-faced demon didn't find out?
"No, right?"
Aoba slowly nodded. Based on the principle of mutual trust between people, he believed these people for the first time for the time being.
"Then let's start with the people from outside the village."
Aoba's gaze fell on the merchants from the Country of Water. He had worked for Konohagakure Intelligence Division for more than a year, so there were not many opportunities to get in touch with the people from outside the village.
If he met one, most of them were the spies hidden in the village. Now, facing these merchants from the Country of Water, his eyes became serious.
He always felt that there was something wrong with these people from the outside village.
Why did they come to Konohagakure at this time?
This was during the quasi-war period!
Even Konohagakure's business had been affected.
Not to mention the fact that they had traveled thousands of miles to deliver seafood from the Country of Water. Aoba felt that there was something wrong.
Of course, even if there were no problems, he felt that there would be other problems if the people from other villages could be sent to him after coming to Konohagakure.
Then, Aoba raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.
A piece of white paper in the shape of a square flew out of his sleeve and directly flew into the middle of the room. Then, as if performing magic, it suddenly turned into pieces of white paper.
These white papers fell down like a goddess scattered flowers...
