As Aoba's voice rang out, Fugaku's gaze once again fell on him.
At this moment, Fugaku already believed in his heart that the entire matter was planned and done by Orochimaru.
Sekai died at Orochimaru's hands!
Hari also died the same!
'Wait...'
When Fugaku thought of this, the fourth step of Orochimaru's operation appeared in his mind. Just now, he only thought of three steps, but now it seemed that there was actually a fourth step.
In the fourth step, Orochimaru secretly ordered the people at Root to send Hari's body to this secret room. In the end, Orochimaru would personally deal with it. This way, no other secrets would be exposed.
Thinking of this, Fugaku's eyes narrowed.
He knew that now was not the time to confront Orochimaru head-on. If possible, he hoped to go back and think about it and slowly plan all this.
He can't be too hasty!
Fugaku found that Orochimaru was very precise in everything he did. He acted only after thinking about it and made plans after thinking about everything.
"Aoba now is not the time to talk. Hurry up and look through Hari's memories of Orochimaru and Gasshi. Then look at whether Hari left something on Hokage Rock. Remember, we had to leave quickly." Fugaku began to be a little anxious. He knew that if he met Orochimaru at this time, they would become the targets to be silenced.
Now that he had already obtained Mangekyo Sharingan, Fugaku believed that his strength could quickly rise in the future, and finally reach the peak. But now was not the time. He still had no way to be compared with the dignified Konoha Sannin.
Previously, when Fugaku said that he would protect Aoba, he didn't think that this matter would be so serious. Now, it seemed. This matter was far more serious than he had imagined.
"Okay!"
After hearing Fugaku's words, Aoba immediately understood what Fugaku cared about.
'Looks like...'
'Hari leave behind before he died!'
'I don't know if this thing will be bad for me!'
Aoba's face darkened. He began to secretly blame himself for being too careless. He actually did such a thing and put himself in an awkward situation.
How could he just stare at the invader and ignore such a smart Hari?
Aoba reflected in his heart.
Suddenly, Aoba found the memory fragments of Hari before he died.
Hari was lying face down on the ground above Hokage Rock. His whole body could not move. He had no choice but to use his tongue to write a line on the ground.
"Gasshi is Orochimaru?!"
Aoba instantly opened his eyes wide and suddenly read out those words. He never thought that Hari would give him a helping hand before he died.
Good fellow!
This was no ordinary assist
This was definitely a godly assist!
A godly assist in the godly assists!
A relaxed expression appeared on Aoba's face as the large rock hanging on his chest suddenly fell down.
'Understood!'
'Now, everything was clear!'
Aoba asked Fugaku why he wanted to find him and asked him to read Hari's memories.
Because Fugaku had been searching for the whereabouts of Gasshi and wanted to avenge Sekai, but he had never found Gasshi. Now, he found evidence about Gasshi's identity from the place where Hari died. How could he give up so easily?
Moreover, Aoba understood even more clearly why Fugaku's expression became so exaggerated when he mentioned Orochimaru.
It turned out.
Fugaku had been suspecting Orochimaru from the beginning. However, he did not say a word. Now, everything was clear. Everything on both sides matched up.
Aoba's train of thought immediately widened. He completely knew what to say. There was no difficulty in this at all.
"You saw it?"
When Fugaku heard Aoba's words, the large stone that was hanging in his heart also dropped. He was afraid that he had guessed wrong. Now it seemed that all the evidence pointed to Orochimaru.
'Sure enough, Gasshi was Orochimaru!'
"Brother Fugaku, I have read all the memories. We will talk about the rest when we go back. Now we must leave this place. If we meet Orochimaru, we will be in trouble." Aoba said to Fugaku. As he spoke, a chakra surged from his palm and directly destroyed the memories of Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) matter in Hari's head.
"That's right!" Fugaku nodded as well. Right now, he was also thinking the same thing. They absolutely could not meet Orochimaru.
Then, the two of them looked at each other. They quickly walked in the direction of the stone door, pushed it open, and came to the corridor.
The instant Aoba stood in the corridor, he began to spread out chakra perception.
"This..."
Aoba suddenly discovered that there were three chakras coming toward them from the secret passage.
One of them had exceptionally powerful chakra.
There was no need to guess.
It was Orochimaru.
"Brother Fugaku, Orochimaru is here. He is right in front, I heard it." Aoba leaned close to Fugaku's ear and said.
"I heard footsteps too!" Fugaku's eyes were solemn. His hands were clenched into fists, ready to fight Orochimaru head-on.
"Brother Fugaku, I don't think there is a need for us to fight. Right now, Orochimaru must be here to deal with Hari's corpse. In other words, he won't continue to walk further here. Now, let's continue going deeper. Maybe there is another way. Even if there isn't, it won't be too late for us to leave after Orochimaru leaves." Aoba slowly said. He didn't want to fight with Orochimaru at this time. It was not a matter of strength, but his own feelings. He didn't want to expose himself like this.
"That makes sense!" Fugaku immediately nodded. He was a little caught up in it just now and did not think too much about it. Now it seemed that this could really be the case. There was no need to insist on going against Orochimaru now. There would be opportunities in the future and he would be more prepared at that time.
"Let's go."
Aoba immediately turned around and walked forward. He then tiptoed forward, trying his best not to make any noise when his feet touched the ground.
Fugaku imitated Aoba's actions and followed him.
Although both had varying degrees of anxiety in their hearts, they were not anxious to that extent. After all, they were very clear that Orochimaru's goal was only to get rid of Hari's corpse. As long as they continued to walk onward, then Orochimaru would not see them. Sauntering like this would instead give them an advantage.
Aoba and Fugaku walked step by step toward the back of the corridor. The two of them did not make any sound at all.
After the two of them walked a distance, the sound of a stone door opening rang out behind them.
...
When Orochimaru and the two attendants were walking the corridor.
"Hmm?"
Orochimaru looked forward with his pale yellow snake eyes. Although he did not see anything, he sensed the existence of two people.
"It seems that there are rats in this secret passage!"
Orochimaru smiled and said to himself. Then he did not say anything. He did not care about the two people at all. He came here to take Hari's body organs back as research materials. As for the rats in this passage, that was Danzo's matter. It had nothing to do with him.
After that, Orochimaru stopped at a stone door. He raised his hand and slowly pushed open the stone door.
Rumble!
As these sounds rang out, Orochimaru directly walked in. The two attendants behind him also quickly followed.
Rumble...
The sounds of a stone door rubbing against the ground rang out again.
The stone door closed.
At this moment, Aoba and Fugaku looked at each other. They both saw affirmation in each other's eyes.
As expected, Orochimaru did not chase after them.
However, right now, they were faced with two choices.
One was to continue walking forward. The advantage of that was that they did not have to take risks for the time being, but they might go deep inside and wait for Orochimaru to leave.
The other one was to return the way they came. The good thing was that they could run away quickly. The problem was Orochimaru might sense them when they walked outside of the room.
Now, these two decisions. It lingered in Fugaku's mind, making him not know how to choose.
"Aoba, what should we do? Should we continue to go deeper or return?"
Fugaku had no way to make a decision by himself. He immediately looked at Aoba, wanting to get an answer from him.
"Let's go out!"
Aoba immediately said. Now that Orochimaru had entered the room, returning immediately was definitely the best opportunity. If they continued to go deeper and once they failed to hide, it would be even more troublesome.
"What if Orochimaru comes out from the stone door to chase us?" Fugaku asked doubtfully. This was also what he was very concerned about. If they could not solve this problem, he felt that the risk was very high.
"It's fine, I have this!"
Aoba immediately reached into his ninja pouch. He took out a paper tag with the word "explode" written on it. It was an explosive tag.
"Are you going to blow up the stone door?" Fugaku's eyes widened in disbelief. Although it was a good idea, he found that Aoba was bold enough.
For a moment, he couldn't figure out Aoba's character. Was this person cautious or bold? Or… Aoba's bold behavior was only because he was very cautious?
Fugaku took a deep look at Aoba. He felt that if this person was not in poor health, he might be even more terrifying than Danzo and Orochimaru.
"I will stick an explosive tag to the place where the stone door turns. As long as the stone door does not turn, the explosive tag will not be triggered. Once the stone door turns, then the explosive tag will be triggered." Aoba nodded at Fugaku and added, "This is the best way I can think of. Otherwise, once we are found, the future will be bleak."
"Good! Then let's do it!" Fugaku's eyes suddenly narrowed and he made up his mind. It should be known that not long ago, he had been prepared to fight Orochimaru head-on. Now, it was just sticking an explosive tag. There was no problem at all.
"Then let's go."
Aoba began to sneak back the way he came from and walked directly toward the stone door.
Fugaku followed behind Aoba.
Gradually, the two of them slowly walked to the vicinity of the stone door. Fugaku's breathing also became rapid, and he was extremely nervous.
He said that he was not afraid of Orochimaru because he had obtained Mangekyo Sharingan, and his strength had greatly improved. After all, that was Orochimaru, one of Konoha Sannin.
Fugaku did not doubt that with Orochimaru's strength, even if it was to fight with a Kage of various villages, he will not fall into a disadvantage.
Aoba walked in front, but his heart was not flustered at all. It was far from the degree of panic that Fugaku had.
He knew exactly what the paper tag in his hand was. This was a little toy he had specially made. It was not an explosive tag at all. It was just that after the paper tag was finished, he wrote the word "explode" on it, making it look like an explosive tag.
Aoba walked to the side of the stone door step by step, then raised his hand and quickly pasted the paper tag in his hand on the gap of the stone door.
After that, Aoba suddenly looked at Fugaku behind him and nodded at him, indicating for the two to leave quickly. Then Aoba quickly walked forward the corridor. Fugaku quickly followed Aoba. His heart was far more panicked than Aoba's. After a while, the two of them arrived at the end of the corridor.
"Run!"
Aoba whispered to Fugaku. He immediately exerted strength in his legs and climbed up the circular step. This gave him the feeling of climbing a mountain. At the same time, Fugaku also quickly climbed up. Both of them were very fast. They didn't want to stay here for even half a minute.
...
Two minutes ago.
Orochimaru led the two attendants to the room. He walked directly to the iron shelve where Aoba and Fugaku were before and saw Hari's body.
"If those two rats come over, you two go and kill them."
Orochimaru's face turned ugly. He faintly felt that Hari's body had been touched. This made him feel like he had lost something, but it was hard to say what exactly he had lost.
"Yes!"
The two attendants immediately nodded. They did not know who they were going to face, but from Orochimaru's appearance, they did not seem to be a difficult person to deal with.
After that, the two people walked toward the stone door and stood still.
Only...
The two of them had no idea at all.
The movements of the two of them had already been seen through by Aoba. Through his powerful perception, Aoba had already determined from their positions that they were going to attack them.
Because of this, Aoba decides to go out at this time. Otherwise, when Orochimaru finished dealing with Hari's corpse, he would definitely go deep into the corridor to find them.
Snapped!
Aoba stuck the paper tag on his palm on the stone door. However, he did not paste the "explode" side facing up like a normal explosive tag should be but directly pasted the "explode" side down to the stone door.
On the other side, the word "seal" appeared.
After Aoba pasted this paper tag on the stone door, he immediately injected chakra into it. Along with the injection of this chakra, this paper tag with the word "seal" suddenly trembled.
Just when Aoba and Fugaku ran past this stone door.
The paper tag on the stone door suddenly showed its effect. A transparent barrier directly appeared on the stone door and instantly seemed to add a wall on the outside of the stone door.
Just after the barrier was formed.
Orochimaru's two attendants in the stone door began to push forward the stone door. They were shocked to find that no matter how much strength they used, they could not open the stone door.
"What's going on? The stone door can't move!"
"Orochimaru-sama, we can't open the stone door at all. We are sealed here!"
The two attendants immediately cried out in alarm. They had never encountered such a scene before. Their expressions were filled with nervousness, and they did not know how to deal with such a scene.
"The two of you are making such a big fuss. The stone door is covered with a barrier. It won't last long before it disappears on its own. Now, even if you smash the stone door, you won't be able to get out. There is no need to chase anymore!"
Orochimaru began to undo the clothes on Hari. He took out a metal scalpel from his backpack and all kinds of bottles and jars filled with nutrient fluids. He then began to dissect Hari's body and remove his organs.
"It seems that these two rats are not simple rats!"
Orochimaru muttered to himself. However, his attention was completely focused on Hari. After all, these organs were the freshest when a person had just died. The longer the time passed, the more likely there would have some problems. He had just finished his experiments and immediately came over. In fact, he had already been delayed by a lot of things. He did not have the mood to care about the two rats outside.
"Yes!"
Orochimaru's two attendants helplessly responded after hearing his words. None of them had expected to encounter a barrier in this kind of place.
The sealing tag just now. It was the variant sealing tag that Aoba had drawn. Although there was the word "seal" written on it, the technique drawn on it was a barrier type, and the more suitable word should be "barrier".
...
Aoba took Fugaku and ran wildly all the way. Finally, they went back to the secret door. Aoba stood behind the secret door and felt the chakra outside. He found that the two guards had already awakened.
"Brother Fugaku now is the last door. We don't know who is behind the secret door. Do you have any plans?"
Aoba did not tell Fugaku who was behind the secret door. He said this just to fill Fugaku's heart with tension. This way, there would not be any omissions.
If Fugaky felt that everything was so smooth, then problems would appear, and this was not what Aoba wanted.
"Aoba, I will go out first to attract attention, and then you will wait for an opportunity to slip away. We will meet later." Fugaku said firmly. He knew that he should be the one to stand up for such a thing. He couldn't let Aoba continue to work for him.
This matter was originally raised by Fugaku. He was the one who called Aoba out. Aoba had helped Fugaku a lot along the way. This made Fugaku extremely satisfied in his heart.
Fugaku was very clear in his heart. If not for Aoba bringing him into this secret passage and with their Konoha Military Police Force's ability, they might not be able to find where Hari's corpse was stored.
Not to mention successfully reading Hari's memories and obtaining extremely crucial information.
Now, Fugaku understood that he absolutely could not let anything happen to Aoba.
"Okay."
The corners of Aoba's mouth slightly curled up behind the mask. He wanted an answer like this from Fugaku. As long as Fugaku drew the attention, then the news that Fugaku had been here may leak out.
At that time Fugaku would represent the Uchiha clan and completely stand on the opposite side of Danzo and Orochimaru.
This kind of thing seemed to be very exciting just thinking about it.
Then, Aoba pushed open the secret door. Fugaku directly rushed out. His eyes which were covered by the cloak hood had already turned into a pair of three tomoe Sharingan.
…
On the first floor of the Hokage Building.
When the two guards woke up, they felt their heads were heavy. They could not remember what had just happened. They felt as if they saw something red and then fell asleep.
When they woke up, they thought they were drowsy. However, they still had a slight impression of that red thing. But, no one dared to report this matter to the Hokage. They were all afraid of being reprimanded by him.
"Hey!"
Just at this time, a voice sounded from behind them, which made the two ninjas guarding the entrance turn their heads without hesitation.
The two of them had just turned their heads and saw a pair of blood-colored three tomoe Sharingan.
In a split second, the consciousness of the two suddenly received a strong chakra impact. They directly fell into a coma and fell again.
Fugaku immediately walked toward the entrance and did not see anyone. Aoba quickly followed behind Fugaku. When he used his perception ability, he already knew how many people there were in the building.
What made him feel very lucky was...
The Third Hokage was not here at the moment. In comparison, the Hokage Building was empty and did not attract too much attention.
Aoba followed behind Fugaku, and the two left the building one after the other. They walked along the path in the direction of the Uchiha Clan.
"Hahahahaha! We're out!" Fugaku couldn't help but laugh out loud. He looked very comfortable. He didn't feel any confusion because of this matter at all. Even the way he looked at Aoba had changed. In his heart, their friendship had evolved into that of carrying a spear on the battlefield together.
"Yes! It's really too dangerous! I never thought that Gasshi would actually be Orochimaru!" Aoba immediately began to talk about Orochimaru. Previously, he didn't talk much because he was afraid that they would encounter Orochimaru. Now, he was completely out of Orochimaru's range and everything he said was told to Fugaku alone. In the future, if there was any sound in the village, it would be Fugaku.
"Let's go back and talk about this matter. It's not safe to talk here. Let's go to my house now!" The smile on Fugaku's face suddenly disappeared. He only smiled for a while, and then he could no longer smile. His mood, which had just relaxed a little, was not very good because of the information he had received.
"Okay!" Aoba nodded. This time, even if Fugaku did not want to bring him to his house, he would still go to his door and meet him. He had to make things clear about Orochimaru. Such a natural script, if he did not make a second composition, it would be unfair to an excellent actor and screenwriter like him.
"You follow me. Let's speed up. The Uchiha clan is not so peaceful. There are many eyes staring at us. Do not look at anyone." Fugaku said to Aoba. After he said this, he immediately took Aoba toward the direction of the Uchiha clan.
"Okay." Aoba nodded again, and then followed Fugaku without saying a word.
...
Half an hour later.
Under Fugaku's lead, Aoba returned to Fugaku's house. The two entered the gate. Through the entrance, they bypass the garden adorned with rockery potted plants and arrived at the house.
This was not the first time Aoba had entered this place. It was the second time now. It was no longer so fresh and was even more familiar.
Aoba followed behind Fugaku and went directly to the second floor and entered Fugaku's room together.
"Aoba, wait a moment. I'll go make another pot of tea."
Fugaku only relaxed a lot when he returned to his home. He knew that even if Orochimaru had extraordinary abilities, it was impossible for him to barge into their Uchiha clan. This was undoubtedly courting death.
Aoba's mood was also completely different from before. At that time, he was still somewhat nervous. He did not know what kind of clue Hari had released, and he also did not know what kind of discovery Fugaku had.
Unknown things were often the most terrifying!
Now that Aoba knew exactly what was going on, he was at the stage where he knew himself and his enemy. He could completely rely on the information gap he had to crush them.
I have to say…
Aoba was once again grateful for Hari's godly assist!
This assist was simply too fragrant and it actually matched everything directly!
Aoba didn't even dare to write a novel like this. How could there be such a coincidence? Even if it was purely a coincidence, there shouldn't be too many coincidences!
It just so happened that Hari's mood, who had experienced those encounters, has become distorted. There was only one purpose for him to live in the world, and that was to find the person who made him like this.
Because of this, when Hari looked at the world again, his eyes were filled with suspicion. He suspected anyone who tried to get close to him.
When Aoba got close to Hari with his identity as Orochimaru and used Hiraishin: Dorai(Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder)'s method to send Hari to the top of the Hokage Rock. At that time, Hari had already determined that Orochimaru was the one who harmed him.
Aoba quickly summed up how to find a bridge between Orochimaru and Gasshi. No matter what was said. Orochimaru was definitely going to take the blame!
It was Orochimaru's return gift for scaring him that day!
Aoba took off the black mask. The corners of the mouth behind the mask curled up slightly and he looked very excited.
He just didn't know how to deal with Gasshi's matter. There were too many bugs in this identity. He didn't know what identity to use when he was doing things, so he would bring Gasshi out. It could be said that he would use Gasshi when something happened.
Just as Aoba was deep in thought. Fugaku walked over with the brewed tea.
At this time, Fugaku was in a good mood. It was completely because he had already confirmed the true identity of the murderer who killed Sekai.
This was a very big breakthrough!
Recently, Fugaku had been investigating this matter. It could be said that he had no clue at all. Now, there was finally progress. No, it should be said that it was a leap forward in progress.
How could such a leap make him unhappy?
"Sit!"
Fugaku nodded at Aoba, indicating for him to sit on the futon. Then he placed the tray on the table in turn and sat on the futon himself.
Aoba did not like this kind of kneeling posture. He felt that it was very unfriendly to his knees. But since he had come to Fugaku's house, he should follow the way that Fugaku was used to.
Instantly, Aoba also knelt down and sat down. The two people sat opposite and their eyes staring at each other. They could see the smile in each other's eyes.
"Aoba, I really have to thank you today. If not for your help, everything I found yesterday would be useless. Moreover, Gasshi's identity might become a permanent mystery."
Fugaku picked up the steaming teapot on the table and poured out the hot tea into Aoba's teacup. After he finished pouring Aoba's tea cup, he began to pour it into his own tea cup.
"You are welcome, Brother Fugaku. You have helped me so much. This is what I should do. Moreover, this is not my credit. If not for Brother Fugaku's intelligence, meticulous observation, and courage, I wouldn't have been able to do it. I was completely following Brother Fugaku's instructions. This is all Brother Fugaku's credit!" Aoba directly began to do his old job.
You dare to praise me?
I'm sorry!
A rainbow fart directly smoked you to death!
Aoba had never liked praise. He always felt that when he was praised, the other party was implying to him or flattering him. At the very least, it was poisonous milk.
Low profile!
No matter what, he had to keep a low profile!
This was Aoba's only thought. It was precisely because of this. Every time Aoba encountered praise, he would not gladly accept it. Instead, it was as if he was being scolded, and he instinctively wanted to rebound these praises back.
"Eh..."
Fugaku's eyelids twitched violently. Just as he finished speaking, he heard Aoba praise him back. Moreover, his expression looked very sincere, and he almost believed what he said.
It can't be!
This Aoba...
He was too good at it!
"Aoba, tell me the truth. Are you still just a small subordinate in Konohagakure Intelligence Division?" Fugaku asked suspiciously. It was the first time he had seen Aoba return all the compliments and doubled them.
"Yes!" Aoba nodded. There was nothing to hide.
"Amazing!"
"It's really amazing!"
"Is Eaton so impartial?"
"If you were in our Konoha Military Police Force, based on your reaction just now, you would definitely be the Vice Captain in less than two years!"
Fugaku praised Aoba from the bottom of his heart. He then raised his hand and gave Aoba a thumbs-up.
Fugaku had seen flattery in Konoha Military Police Force before. However, those were all too clumsy. It was not as natural as Aoba. It was simply the same as real...
"What do you mean?" Aoba frowned for a moment, then as if he suddenly realized something, his face immediately showed a dissatisfied expression, and immediately asked, "Brother Fugaku, do you think I am flattering you?"
"What else?" Fugaku smiled. Now, he was in a very good mood. He was very relaxed. Talking to Aoba made his mood even more comfortable.
"Brother Fugaku, you are boring. I am not in the mood to praise you. I have only been telling the truth since I was a child. What I said just now was just the truth from the bottom of my heart. In fact, I also silently gave a discount in my heart. I did not say all the truth because I was afraid that you would be too proud when you heard it!" Aoba waved his hand and said.
In a split second, Fugaku's eyes widened. He was stunned by Aoba's actions. He stared at Aoba foolishly and raised his hands to give Aoba a thumbs up.
"High!"
"It's really high!"
"I misjudged you just now!"
"If you were in Konoha Military Police Force, you wouldn't need two years at all!"
"I think you can become a Vice Captain in half a year!"
"You may not know how much Akaru-sama will enjoy if you use this method on him!"
Fugaku sighed from the bottom of his heart. For so many years, he hadn't been treated too impartially in Konoha Military Police Force. First, it was because Akaru himself was suppressing him, putting on an appearance of wanting him to inherit the Uchiha clan, but not really wanting him to inherit the Uchiha clan.
In addition, most of the Uchiha were very arrogant in their hearts. They disdained doing those flattering things, which was not in line with their character.
But...
There were all kinds of birds in the forest!
Even the Uchiha clan would have people who liked to flatter and be flatter. Of course, even in the united Uchiha clan, wouldn't there still be an Uchiha Itachi with a double spy's identity?
However, the flattery of the Uchiha clan members was rather stiff. It was not as smooth as Aoba's. Sometimes, one could clearly see that the other party was very deliberate!
It was not like flattery!
It even directly hit the horse's leg!
But...
Akaru still felt very comfortable with these actions. The higher the level of the people, the more they liked to hear other people's praise Otherwise… Why climb so high up?
Could it be that they were already in the Hokage position, and they still wanted to listen to the cursing of the village ninjas? That was definitely impossible!
After Fugaku said these words, his eyes stared at Aoba. He felt more and more that Aoba should not be a small subordinate in Konohagakure Intelligence Division.
Then there was only one reason he could think of. That was that Eaton was an impartial and incorruptible man, and he did not take this trick at all. This was definitely a deformed character that had been developed in Konohagakure Intelligence Division!
Fugaku thought this in his heart.
"Brother Fugaku, I'm really not bragging about you. It all came from the bottom of my heart..." Aoba said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He quickly picked up the teacup on the table and took a small sip to ease his embarrassment.
In fact, Aoba did not feel that he was flattering Fugaku. He was more willing to see this as a credit transfer.
If the boss praised you, it would be absolutely right for you to return it to the boss!
The reward that should belong to you was still yours anyway!
The rewards that originally don't belong to you might become yours too!
The most important thing was...
Good days were coming and all of this would happen just by moving your mouth, then why not!
"Alright, Aoba, let's not talk about this anymore. Just treat it as if what you said is true. Anyway, I feel quite comfortable listening to it!" Fugaku said with a smile. Even he did not expect that he would one day enjoy flattery like this. This was something he never expected at all.
Suddenly, Fugaku realized. He's just an ordinary person. Only ordinary people will encounter this kind of thing. The reason why when someone flattered him in the past and made him unhappy was simply because that person was not good at flattery.
If they can flatter well… Then it really can be added points!
At least, the way Fugaku looked at Aoba now had changed. After all, whether what Aoba said was true or false, he loved to hear it.
That was enough!
"Let's talk about Hari's memory!"
Fugaku's eyes were very serious. His eyes were focused on Aoba. When they were in the secret passage, there was still a memory that Aoba had not finished talking about, but they had to leave at that time.
Looking at it now. This decision was not wrong. If they had not left at that time, the two of them would have been blocked by Orochimaru inside the stone door.
Now, when Fugaku recalled what had happened at that time, he felt that it was extremely dangerous.
"Okay!"
Aoba nodded. He did not intend to flatter Fugaku. He felt that the reason why he was not annoying was very simple. He never took the initiative to flatter and never deliberately flattered. He had never made the other party feel embarrassed because of the flattery.
Aoba has always just doing flattery rebound. As long as you praise me. Then I will take the opportunity to praise you back!
This was just like when he was in school, as long as his grades in that subject improved a little and the teacher came to praise him, he would reply with a smile and say "It's because the teacher teaches well!"
Such a way of speaking. Not only did it make Aoba very low-key. The relationship between him and his superiors was handled very well.
No matter where he went, whether it was in school, working part-time in society, or in the ninja world, it could be said that he was always successful. Even if Fugaku felt that Aoba was flattering him. He still felt very comfortable.
"Brother Fugaku, before we left, I saw a dialogue between Hari and Orochimaru. I'll tell you now."
Aoba's expression suddenly changed. Just now, he only had a business exchange with Fugaku. Now, it was the most important thing.
"When Hari met Orochimaru, he said to Orochimaru: 'Orochimaru-sama, you said that you would give me a new body so that I could stand up again. How long would I have to wait, I've had enough of my crippled body.'"
"Orochimaru replied: 'You can get rid of this crippled body from today on.'"
"After hearing Orochimaru's words, Hari said: 'Orochimaru-sama, thank you!'"
"Orochimaru replied: 'You're welcome!'"
"After the two of them finished speaking, Orochimaru immediately walked over to Hari and picked him up."
"Hari asked in horror: 'What are you doing?'"
"Orochimaru replied: 'It's fine. After tonight, everything will be over. I will take you to see your most respected Third Raikage-sama!'"
"There's no more memories up to here..."
Aoba repeated the conversation between Orochimaru and Hari to Fugaku. He did not make any changes to these words and all of them could be found in Hari's memory.
Aoba was even thinking about whether he should restrain himself a little. Otherwise, wouldn't this point be too clear? It gave people a feeling that he was deliberately guiding it to Orochimaru.
"Isn't this Orochimaru?"
When Fugaku heard this, he suddenly raised his hand and wanted to slap the table. However, there were teapot and teacups on the table. So he changed his direction halfway and directly slapped his thigh.
This slap was quite painful and caused Fugaku to grimace!
The dialogue just now was very obvious. The person that led Hari to see the Third Raigake.
It was...
It was a Kumogakure ninja named Gasshi.
From a certain point of view. Wasn't it that Gasshi was equal to Orochimaru?
Fugaku did not doubt Aoba's words at all. After all, there was no reason for Aoba to put this kind of shit on Orochimaru's head. Now, it could be said that this was the case.
"Aoba, do you know how Orochimaru brought Hari to Hokage Rock? And also what Orochimaru did on Hokage Rock. Can you see Orochimaru disguised as Gasshi?" Fugaku asked Aoba. His heart was filled with curiosity, and the emotions in his heart had been raised to the extreme.
"I don't know."
Aoba immediately shook his head. He had already thought of what he should know and what he shouldn't know.
This part was what he shouldn't know. There was no other reason. It was completely because it was too difficult to make up.
"I didn't read this memory. I only saw Orochimaru carry Hari up, and then the words he said and there was nothing..."
After Aoba finished speaking, his eyes turned, as if he had just thought of something. He turned to look at Fugaku and slowly said.
"Oh right, I also saw a scene. That is, while Hari was on the ground. I don't know where he is, but he is lying on the ground. He can't move at all. He wrote a line of words on the soil with his tongue!" Aoba said in a deep voice. His expression was particularly nervous.
"What word?" Fugaku asked despite knowing the answer. He was very clear about what Aoba was talking about. However, he discovered this matter from the follow-up investigation while Aoba had found this thing in Hari's memory. These two points were completely different.
"Gasshi was Orochimaru!"
Aoba said slowly and word by word. When he said these words, his expression was extremely serious and solemn. His expression seemed as if he had discovered something big. It simply gave people a terrifying feeling.
After saying this, Aoba did not forget to add.
"The only pity is..."
"When Hari finished writing this line of words."
"He has no strength left."
"So when his body drops to the ground."
"He wiped out the words."
"I don't think we can find out even if we want to. It's such a pity. Otherwise, we can be even more sure of this!"
Aoba deliberately said this. He had already felt that Fugaku had already grasped this information. Or, it could be said that after Fugaku found this information, he found Aoba and asked him to help check Hari's memories.
Thinking of this, Aoba could not help but sigh again in his heart about Hari's magic.
Too awesome!
All the evidence provided was crucial!
He directly pointed the clues to Orochimaru!
What else could he say?
Awesome!
Aoba only had this thought now. He could see that when he went to find Hari as Orochimaru, Hari did not regard Orochimaru as Gasshi at that time. After all, it was not Orochimaru who did these things!
Orochimaru had even kindly offered to change Hari's body. It was no surprise that he had taken a fancy to Hari's brain and wanted Hari to continue being an aide at Root.
However, just as Aoba was about to Hiraishin: Dorai(Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder) to Hari and said that he would bring him to see the Third Raikage.
Hari had already decided that Orochimaru was Gasshi!
