As Aoba gradually adapted to the darkness in front of him, a coffin appeared in front of his eyes.
This was the secret room at the end of the corridor behind Danzo's office. The coffin inside was the coffin that once had Madara's "corpse".
Now, this place was already empty. No one will come at all.
Aoba's gaze fell on the coffin in front of him. He felt this was the most suitable place to store his items.
This room could be said that very few people in the village knew about it.
It was almost Danzo's thing.
Danzo had recently been injured, and there was a possibility that he would be paralyzed. Now, he had to lie in bed and recuperate. There was no way he would run over here to see if there was anyone inside.
It was impossible for anyone to come here.
And finally...
Aoba would put these items in Madara's coffin and then put the lid on. At the very least, even if someone came here, they wouldn't open the coffin lid!
Even if they really opened it. They would probably only treat these things as burial items!
Then, Aoba used Chokeijugan no Jutsu(Ultralight-Weight Rock Technique) to open the coffin lid in front of him.
He then began to throw his items one by one into the coffin.
For this, Aoba has no shyness at all. If Madara's corpse were lying in the coffin, he would not do anything disrespectful to the corpse.
At most, he would just touch the head of Madara's corpse. He would not throw the corpse out to free the coffin and use it as a container for the items.
Madara was still alive...
He was still relying on Gedo Statue to live. There was no pressure in his heart when he uses this coffin.
"Hmm?"
Aoba suddenly realized a very strange problem. He raised his head and looked at the coffin lid.
"Right now, Madara is still relying on the Gedo Statue to survive and has not found the tool person who will help him carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan, which is Obito."
"Then..."
"If I protect Obito."
"Does Madara still have a backup plan?"
"Once he fails to find the person who can replace him, and Nagato started to use his Rinnegan..."
"Will Nagato also pull out the old Madara when he's summoned the Gedo Statue?"
Aoba himself didn't know why he thought of such a question, but this question made him feel very interested.
The only pity was that Nagato was in the Country of Rain. It was too far away from him. If this really happened, he wouldn't be able to see such a scene even if Nagato summoned the Gedo Statue.
The more Aoba thought about it, the more he found it interesting. The only problem was that it was too troublesome to operate.
After a while, Aoba put all of his things into the coffin. These things are placed along the side of the coffin, not completely neatly stacked here.
After the things were placed, Aoba raised his right hand and touched the surface inside the coffin lid.
Hum!
Just as Aoba's right hand collided with the coffin's surface, his palm trembled. What he did was leave behind a Flying Thunder God Formula within the coffin lid.
After that, Aoba raised his hand and covered the coffin lid again.
"It's too dark here..."
Aoba looked around the room and began to install candlesticks on it.
He felt that he could buy a few more candlesticks and install them in Madara's room to make the place brighter.
The secret room at the end of the corridor behind Danzo's office was more fragrant than the one on the tower.
Thinking of this, the corners of Aoba's mouth slightly curled up. A large number of plans to remodel this place had already appeared in his mind, and then his figure disappeared in a flash.
Swish!
Aoba returned to the Anbu dormitory, but he did not remove the shadow clone that was writing but lay quietly on the bed.
It was a rare time to rest. It was better to have a good rest. Aoba did not intend to make himself too tired.
...
In the tall tower.
On the first floor.
Aoba's shadow clones had already returned. They were holding the trees they had just cut down and piled them up on the ground.
With the appearance of these trees. The first floor became a lot more crowded.
The hands of Aoba's shadow clones emerged one after another, and they began to slash at the bodies of these trees, dividing them into large and small pieces of wood.
After completing these things. The shadow clones began to create some things that people could not understand.
...
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Just as Aoba was sleeping in a daze on the bed, the sound of knocking came from outside his room door.
"Bang!"
Almost at the same time. Aoba's shadow clone made a sound and directly pulled him out of his dream.
A message suddenly appeared in his head. This information was sent back by the shadow clone next to him.
All the information was about the writing progress of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School. There was nothing else. However, because there was a knock on the door outside, the shadow clone immediately took the initiative to remove himself. Not only did it give Aoba a hint, but it also avoided embarrassing things.
"Aoba, are you there?"
A dignified voice sounded outside the door. The owner of the voice was the Fugaku he was familiar with.
"I'm here~"
Aoba replied lazily. When he spoke, he even yawned, giving off a very tired feeling. Then, Aoba got up from the iron bed and walked directly in the direction of his room door.
He was puzzled as he walked.
'What was going on?'
'Why had Fugaku suddenly come here to look for him?'
'Could it be that something special had happened?'
Aoba was a little worried.
He knew that if Fugaku was bored, he would not come to find him.
Fugaku only came to Konohagakure Intelligence Division once to find him. At that time, he was still investigating the news of Kenji's disappearance.
Even if it was the death of Sekai. Fugaku did not come here to look for him.
Yesterday, Kumogakure invaded Konohagakure and a real war happened. In the end, Fugaku came to find him?
There was no change on Aoba's face, but in his mind, he had already begun to think about what was going on. After all, there was nothing to do that needed him. He felt that Fugaku had come with something.
Soon, Aoba walked to the door of his room. He opened the door and immediately saw Fugaku standing behind the door.
At this moment, Fugaku's expression was exceptionally grave. It felt as if something major had happened.
"Come in and sit?"
Aoba opened the door and gestured for Fugaku to come in. However, before he could turn around, Fugaku reached out and grabbed his wrist.
"I'm not sitting."
Fugaku shook his head. His expression was still heavy. It was not that he wanted to show this face, but because he was not happy at all.
"What happened?" Aoba asked in a low voice.
Just as Fugaku reached out his hand to grab his wrist. He almost instinctively dodged it. In his mind, he had been wondering if he had made a mistake and let Fugaku discover something wrong.
"Come with me. I'll take you to my house. I have something very important to tell you."
Fugaku's tone was firm, like a domineering president directly pulling Aoba out.
"O... okay..."
Aoba was quite helpless in his heart, but since the last time he ask Fugaku permission to use his name for the novel, he vaguely felt that his relationship with Fugaku had changed a little more, so he did not say anything.
After Aoba was pulled out of his room by Fugaku, he directly closed the door with his backhand.
At this time, there was no need to place a shadow clone in the dormitory.
Now that he had gone out with Fugaku. It could prove that he had done something in a reasonable time.
As long as he kept showing everyone his harmless side, no one would think that he had any problems.
All of a sudden, Fugaku pulled Aoba out of Anbu's dormitory and then walked in the direction of the Uchiha clan.
"That... Brother Fugaku... You should let me go... I'm so tired of walking like this..."
Aoba said in a helpless tone.
In fact, It was not that he was tired. He could totally keep up with Fugaku's speed, but the feeling of being dragged by Fugaku on the street was too strange.
He did not want to be misunderstood!
"Okay."
Fugaku immediately let go of his hand and quickly led Aoba in the direction of the Uchiha clan.
"Brother Fugaku, what happened?"
Aoba asked Fugaku in a daze. There were many big question marks in his head. He did not know why Fugaku came to him in such a hurry. It seemed that there was no smile on his face.
"This is not the place to talk."
Fugaku shook his head and did not answer Aoba. Instead, he still walked in the direction of the Uchiha clan with a gloomy face and added, "Let's talk about it when we arrive at my house."
"Alright..."
Although Aoba felt helpless in his heart, he had never seen Fugaku in this state. He could not help but be more curious.
What exactly happened?
To actually be able to make Fugaku this nervous?
Wasn't he too careful?
...
Fugaku brought Aoba all the way through Konohagakure's alley.
This allowed Aoba to see what Konohagakure was like after experiencing a great deal of water disaster.
'Recovery is pretty quick.'
Although some buildings were washed away by the flood and looked slightly damaged, overall, there were no major problems.
After half a night of water drainage work.
Not only did it make the civilian of Konohagakure realize that the ninja world was not peaceful and was still full of danger. It also made them feel the power of unity in the process of water drainage.
This made Aoba very satisfied.
After almost half an hour, Aoba was led by Fugaku to the Uchiha clan district. As he just stepped into it, people's gazes fell on him.
Those eyes were full of questions and doubts, and there was a trace of caution and resistance.
Aoba could say with great certainty. If Fugaku hadn't brought him here, he was sure that he would be greatly rejected by the Uchiha.
This was a very xenophobic place.
This point was not as simple as seeing it. Aoba had already felt it. These Uchiha clan people looked at him as if he steal an Uchiha clan's things.
Their eyes were faintly filled with hostility.
The Uchiha clan was relatively large, and Aoba followed Fugaku through the alley, surrounded by houses of the Uchiha clan.
The Uchiha clan at this time. The place where they live was still the place that originally belonged to their clan.
Just like the Senju clan.
These two clans originally lived in the position of Konohagakure and had been fighting for years.
It could also be said that the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan were put into the Konohagakure.
Or it was better to say that from the surrounding territory of the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan, a large circle was drawn, and the circled area becomes Konohagakure.
Aoba didn't look around too wantonly. After all, if he didn't handle it properly, the Uchiha might completely treat him as a problematic person.
However, he still sizing up the situation from the corner of his eyes. It could be confirmed that the life of the Uchiha clan was very rich.
The Uchiha clan at this time. They had not been bullied by Danzo and moved home after the Kyuubi Rampage
They still live in the area that originally belonged to them.
Although this was not the most central area of Konohagakure, it could be considered a quasi-center. This was something that Aoba had seen in Senju Momoka's memory.
Senju Hashirama once wanted to bring the Uchiha clan to the center of Konohagakure to create a village but was unanimously opposed by the big clans. In the end, he chose the Hokage Rock between the two clans as the center of the village, drawing a semi-circular and covering the surrounding area.
The territory of the Uchiha clan was not the center. However, it was very close to the core area. Moreover, there was only one clan in this area, and the rest of the clans were not allowed to come.
"This is my home!"
Fugaku pointed to a very impressive two-story building in front of him.
