"I've decided!"
After the Third Raikage said those words, his cold eyes looked in the direction of the Country of Fire. His eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he seemed to be ready to go all out.
"I want to attack Konohagakure!"
The Third Raikage tough voice echoed in the Raikage Office, which made the Kumogakure ninja's face black.
The current situation was very confusing. There were many things that had not been completely figured out. If they rashly chose to attack Konohagakure now, it was very likely that Kumogakure would be in a disadvantageous situation.
"Raikage-sa..."
This Kumogakure ninja was just about to say something when he was interrupted by the Third Raikage.
"Don't say anything. I have already made up my mind. I can't let Konohagakure bully people like this anymore!" The Third Raikage said coldly and waved his hand directly, not willing to listen anymore.
After all, they would always say this will not work; that is not right; either it's not the right time, or there was still a problem here.
It was really endless. He let them come up with ideas, but they couldn't give anything useful. No matter what they said, they would always say that there was a problem.
The Third Raikage has had enough of organizing these scrolls during this period of time. He didn't want to continue like this. If he continued like this, his head would explode.
He wanted to break the deadlock and leave this situation that made him unhappy.
"I understand. I will inform the ninjas now."
After hearing the Third Raikage's words, this Kumogakure ninja already understood that it was useless to say anything more.
Since he could not persuade the Third Raikage, then he could only follow the Third Raikage.
Fight for it...
And win this battle!
Instantly, this Kumogakure ninja left the Raikage Office and walked out.
...
The next day.
Early in the morning.
Aoba suddenly felt a headache. He was awakened by a series of information. This information came from the shadow clones in the tower.
Aoba checked this information. However, he did not open his eyes.
Swish!
Right at this moment. A figure directly appeared in his room and looked exactly like Aoba.
It was one of Aoba's shadow clones. He used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) and jumped into this room.
This shadow clone held a stack of books in his hand. After he placed these books on the ground.
Bang!
It disappeared.
Almost at the same time, another piece of information was transmitted into Aoba's mind. It was this shadow clone that had brought the books here.
"As expected, it has been completed."
A smile appeared on Aoba's face. He did not know how useful these things would be to him in the future, but he felt that at least they would not be completely useless.
Suddenly, Aoba got up from the iron bed. He has stacks of papers in his hands.
The paper was covered with densely packed handwriting. It was all the first chapter of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School, which had been copied countless times.
These papers were all torn from the book, and a total of three books were torn apart.
After that, Aoba took the paper and walked out.
He did not walk in the direction of the Konohagakure Intelligence Division compartment. Instead, he walked directly to another room in the Anbu dormitory.
For the location of these Yamanaka ninjas' rooms. Aoba had a little idea in his mind. After all, he had read Eaton's memories before.
It was just that…
Among them, there were some newly arrived Yamanaka clan ninjas. The room where these people lived was unknown.
However, Aoba did not intend to send these things over personally. He already had the most suitable person in mind to do this.
After a while, Aoba took these manuscripts to a room door and knocked on it. The owner of the room was Yamanaka Shinichi, whom he knew before.
Standing at the door, Aoba gently knocked it.
"Who is it?"
Shinichi's angry voice suddenly sounded. It was still a bit early at this time. Even if the Anbu got up very early, this time was still a bit too early.
"It's me, Aoba," Aoba said.
"Just wait!"
Shinichi said in a displeased tone. After a long while, the door of the room slowly opened.
Shinichi's face, which had obviously not been washed, was filled with displeasure.
"Aoba, why are you so early?"
Shinichi's temper was quite good. He had a good relationship with Aoba before, but after that mission, he had no communication with Aoba anymore. He didn't know why Aoba suddenly came to him.
"Brother Shinichi, have you forgotten? This is your first chapter manuscript that I promise."
Aoba directly took out a manuscript and stared at Shinichi with a smile. He didn't care about Shinichi's dissatisfaction at all.
"Ah... This..."
When Shinichi saw the manuscript that Aoba handed over, his eyes immediately widened. He remembered that they had asked Aoba for the book together yesterday.
"You really brought it over!"
"I thought you were joking!"
"Thank you, Aoba!"
Shinichi immediately became embarrassed. He took the manuscript that Aoba handed over and immediately changed his expression. It changed from a gloomy attitude to a smile.
"Don't be polite!"
Aoba nodded to Shinichi and said, "Brother Shinichi, I won't disturb you. I will go and deliver the manuscript to others."
"This..."
Shinichi looked at Aoba and instantly did not know what to say.
'Only an afternoon and a night have passed since his promise.'
'He actually finishes writing it.'
'Doesn't this mean…'
'Aoba started writing when he got back.'
'Wasn't this too much?'
Shinichi's impression of Aoba suddenly changed. He suddenly felt that this person was not so dislikable.
"Oh right, Brother Shinichi, there is one more thing."
Aoba smiled and took out another piece of paper. It was a blank piece of paper, and then he handed it to Shinichi.
"Can you help me write down the room number of the other Yamanaka ninjas? I will send it to them one by one." Aoba said to Shinichi.
"Okay."
Shinichi had no reason to refuse Aoba's request. He immediately took the blank paper from Aoba's hand and took out a pen. Based on his memory, he began to write down the room number.
"I am not very good at socializing, so I only remember Brother Shinichi's room location," Aoba said with an embarrassed smile.
"Eh..."
After hearing Aoba's words, Shinichi suddenly felt a burst of warmth in his heart. No matter what, he was the one who was remembered, which made his heart full of gratification.
All of a sudden, An impulse rose in Shinichi's mind. He stared at Aoba and hesitated for a moment. Then a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
"Aoba, if you don't mind, I can hand over the rest of the manuscript to the other Yamanaka clan ninjas so that you can save some energy," Shinichi said seriously.
Actually, he had his own considerations for saying this. After all, handing these manuscripts over to other Yamanaka clan ninjas was a matter that could curry favor with those people.
If Aoba was willing to let him do it. He did not mind helping him and then used these manuscripts to curry favor with other Yamanaka clan members. However, if that happened, Aoba would lose this opportunity. Of course, he did not know that Aoba had no intention of currying favor with those people.
Apart from that, he is really thinking about Aoba. Seeing so many manuscripts in his hands, he immediately realized that Aoba had probably worked all night for these things.
"Really?"
Aoba suddenly opened his eyes wide, his eyes flashing with joy. He smiled and said, "Can I really trouble you, Brother Shinichi?"
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
Shinichi immediately patted his chest and promised Aoba. He had already seen the approval in Aoba's eyes, so he was willing to fight for this opportunity.
This was not just to help Aoba, or it was for him to have a chance to get in touch with those Yamanaka Clan ninjas. It could be said that they each took what they needed.
"Then thank you, Brother Shinichi!"
Aoba directly handed all the manuscripts in his hands to Shinichi, and then after exchanging a few words with Shinichi, he left Shinichi's room.
In fact, Aoba had chosen Shinichi from the very beginning. He had been a teammate with Shinichi before. So he understood that Shinichi was actually a very thoughtful and warm-hearted ninja.
He carried the manuscripts that he worked on overnight just for show so that after Shinichi saw it, he would feel that Aoba should be very tired. In addition, he did not know the other people's rooms.
This way, it could arouse Shinichi's sympathy and urge him to say something to help him.
At this time, Aoba naturally gave this task to Shinichi.
...
After Shinichi accepted this task, Aoba left Shinichi's room. Then he still did not go to Konohagakure Intelligence Division but walked in the direction of the Hokage Building.
Since Danzo gave him a task yesterday. Then if he did not use Danzo… It would be a waste.
Aoba walked all the way to the bottom of the Hokage Building. Just as Aoba was about to go in, he saw a ninja walking out.
This ninja looked to be around forty years old. His silver hair was combed into a ponytail behind his head. He was wearing a standard Konohagakure ninja uniform. On his head was Konohagakure's ninja forehead protector, and on his right hand was a short white sleeve that had red edges.
When Aoba saw this ninja. His eyes moved slightly. He knew this ninja; not only did he know him. He was very familiar with him.
It was Hatake Sakumo who was renowned across the ninja world as Konoha White Fang and the father of Hatake Kakashi, the future Kakashi of the Sharingan.
At this time, Sakumo had just come out of the Hokage Building, and his eyes also fell on Aoba.
"Aren't you that Ramen Ichiraku's young man."
After seeing Aoba, Sakumo immediately greeted him. His tone was amiable and without any arrogance. His impression of Aoba was quite deep.
Ordinary people would not leave such a deep impression on him.
That time when he took his son Kakashi to eat ramen, he became a member and took pictures with this kid.
"Yes, it's me. Hello, Sakumo-sama." Aoba immediately greeted Hatake Sakumo. He never expected that the other party could remember him.
'This person's memory is too strong!'
'This was not a good thing!'
When Sakumo recognized Aoba, his heart tightened. If it were someone else, they would probably be too happy.
Only Aoba would not be happy.
When he was recognized by others, he would feel restless, so much so that his heart was filled with conflicted emotion.
"Why did you come here?" Sakumo asked symbolically. From the expression on his face, it was just a greeting. He did not have any curiosity about Aoba.
"I came to deliver something."
Aoba patted his ninja pouch, indicating that the thing was here. But he did not say what it was specifically, nor who it was for.
Aoba was also very embarrassed about this. What he has to do now is to go to Danzo, and he also has a little idea behind his back.
But no matter what happens, he could not tell Sakumo about these things openly. He could only say vaguely.
Aoba respected Sakumo quite a lot. After all, he had been studying the latter's memories a few days ago and had learned a lot of precious experiences from the latter memories.
"Okay."
Sakumo nodded at Aoba. He then stared at Aoba for a while.
"Go do your work!"
How could Sakumo not understand what Aoba meant? He already understood that there were some things that Aoba could not say.
In fact, he himself did not have any curiosity and just casually asked. He could tell from Aoba's expression that Aoba seemed to have some kind of mission on him. Since that was the case, then he did not want to continue asking.
After saying this, Sakumo shifted his gaze away and left without another word.
Aoba stood silently on the spot and watched Sakumo leave.
He could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
'Fortunately…'
'Fortunately, the other party did not ask for more details.'
In that case, he would have to make up some more lies to deceive Sakumo. He did not really want to do this.
After Hatake Sakumo left. Aoba stepped into the first floor of the Hokage Building. Then, he walked toward the secret door.
He wants to take this opportunity to investigate what was inside this secret door...
Aoba directly imitated Danzo's actions and pushed open the secret door on the Hokage Building's first floor.
It was a dark corridor.
Not long ago, he had just passed by once this dark corridor. It was just that Danzo was leading at that time.
Then, Aoba did not hesitate and walked into the dark corridor.
