When Aoba heard Fugaku's words, he immediately felt that the latter was simply too noble and upright!
He even told him not to swim in muddy water!
This can be said to be a perfect poking point in Aoba's heart.
"Brother Fugaku, don't worry. I don't know anything. I definitely won't destroy your plan!"
Aoba immediately nodded and said. He could be said to be eager for this kind of thing!
At this time, Gasshi and Orochimaru were already on the same level in Fugaku's heart. No matter what others said, it would be useless.
Not to mention Orochimaru explained himself. Even if Hari got up from the iron shelf to explain to Fugaku, the latter would not believe it. Fugaku had already concluded the case through his perfect reasoning.
In fact, it was not easy. Even Aoba himself did not expect that he would use such a method to remove himself completely.
'Wonderful!'
Aoba praised Fugaku's reasoning in his mind!
Aoba had gone through a lot of ups and downs this day. In the beginning, when Fugaku visited him, he thought that Fugaku had found some evidence pointing at him from the last clues left by Hari, which made him quite nervous.
Now it seems...
Hari was indeed the leader of Kumogakure Anbu!
Whether he really thinks that Gasshi was Orochimaru or wants to drag Orochimaru down along with him...
In short, he had achieved his goal.
Now that Orochimaru had become the target of Fugaku's suspicion, things became even more interesting.
Aoba was not only praising Fugaku in his mind but also praising Hari. He wanted to drag someone down with him before he died and he pull it so reasonably.
"Aoba, thank you for today. If you hadn't taken the risk to take me to the location of Hari's corpse, then I might not have been able to get the truth in my life. In the end, I will live in regret for the rest of my life!" Fugaku said seriously.
"Eh... I don't think so!"
After hearing Fugaku's words, the corners of Aoba's mouth slightly twitched. This Uchiha clan was really a clan that was as emotional as the legends said. They were able to live in regret for the rest of their lives just like that. There was no way to walk out of the haze at all?
This ability to fight was too weak!
However...
Aoba thought about it carefully and found that this was indeed the case!
After the death of his younger brother, Uchiha Madara had never come out of these things. In the end, his heart was still filled with hatred for his younger brother's death.
Uchiha Obito was also like this. In the end, his mind was still thinking about Rin, and he had never come out of these things.
Right now, Fugaku's emotions were only a little more restrained than those two people. He did not express his emotions so clearly, but it did not mean that he had no emotions in his heart at all. He just suppressed them all.
Now that Fugaku knew that Gasshi, the murderer who killed Sekai, was Orochimaru his goal became even more clear. He only needs to target Orochimaru alone.
"You're welcome."
Aoba immediately nodded at Fugaku. He accepted this gratitude happily and did not return the praise.
This was just a small matter of courtesy. There was no need to be too hypocritical.
"Brother Fugaku, if there is nothing else, then I will go back. Today is my rare holiday!" Aoba said to Fugaku with a smile. When he spoke, he looked in the direction of the window. From the angle of sunlight, it was almost afternoon. The two of them had already talked a lot.
"I'll send you off!"
Fugaku immediately stood up. He did not urge Aoba to stay. Just now, he had already finished what he wanted to say. There was no need to talk to Aoba about the rest.
After all, the less Aoba knew; the lower the pace of participation. The corresponding threat would also be less.
In many matters, Fugaku still held onto his bottom line. He did not lose his mind, nor did he lose himself in everything. He was still calm.
Fugaku knew that Sekai's matter was related to Orochimaru. He only needed to find Orochimaru, and there was no need to drag Aoba into this.
"No need, I can go back by myself. If you follow me, it will be too eye-catching."
As Aoba spoke, he was ready to take off the Uchiha clan clothes.
Although he was quite greedy about these clothes. After all, there was the emblem of the Uchiha clan on it. If he wore this set of clothes to stir up trouble. People would instinctively put the angle of suspicion on the Uchiha.
They would never think of anything!
Not everyone could get clothes with the insignia of the Uchiha clan.
However, this piece of clothing. Aoba had to leave it here. He could not take it away.
Then, Aoba got up and took off the clothes he was wearing.
"Brother Fugaku, thank you for your clothes." After taking off his clothes, Aoba folded them and put them together with the cloak and mask on the side.
"En. "
Fugaku nodded in satisfaction. He noticed the details of what Aoba had done. He was a clean freak and liked to do things in a regular manner. Now that Aoba had folded everything, it could be said that he still cared about him.
"Then I won't send you off!"
"Take care of yourself!"
"After all, we have already seen Orochimaru!"
"I'm not sure if we leave any evidence that can point to our identities."
"It's better to be careful during this period of time!"
Fugaku warned Aoba. He was still very concerned about this matter. In his opinion, Fugaku could kill him to silence him for this matter.
"Understood."
Aoba nodded. In terms of caution, he was above Fugaku. He would definitely not leave any traces behind. Even if he did, he would leave behind something related to the Uchiha clan. It had nothing to do with him.
After all, his shadow clone should have returned to Anbu's dormitory at this time and was beginning to quickly finish the story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School.
While the shadow clone walked over. Many people had already seen it. If Orochimaru were to discover any problems in the future and investigate a little, he would not suspect him.
These were all the foreshadowing that Aoba had made for himself.
Aoba got up and walked out of the house. At this time, Fugaku got up at the same time and walked behind Aoba. His dark eyes stared at Aoba's back.
"I'll send you out."
Fugaku had a very good upbringing in this area. He could not send Aoba back to Konohagakure Intelligence Division, but there was no problem to send Aoba out from his house.
When Aoba heard Fugaku's words, he did not say anything. He just nodded and took the lead to walk out of the house.
Aoba had already been here twice. Moreover, it was within a day. He was already very familiar with the way out.
He walked down the stairs, passed through the corridor, and finally reached the entrance. After that, he turned to look at Fugaku behind him.
"Brother Fugaku, I'm fine here. I'm going back now." Aoba nodded at Fugaku.
"Okay!"
Fugaku smiled and did not say anything else. He turned around and closed the door behind him.
When Aoba saw Fugaku leave, his figure flashed and he jumped into the woods in front of Fugaku's house entrance.
Almost in an instant, Aoba arrived in front of the trunk of a tree. He raised his right hand and touch the tree trunk.
Hum!
With the chakra surging out of Aoba's right hand, he directly imprinted a black circle-shaped Flying Thunder God Formula on the tree trunk, leaving a mark coordinates here.
After that, Aoba immediately used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique).
His figure disappeared in a flash and returned to Anbu's dormitory.
Just after Aoba returned. He immediately saw the shadow clone sitting on the table holding a pen and writing the story of Teacher Bai in the Ninja School.
'It seems...'
'The plan went smoothly.'
The shadow clone indeed returned under the attention of everyone.
"Continue writing."
Aoba nodded at the shadow clone. He was a little tired today and he has already set up the shadow clone.
That kind of fatigue was not physical, but spiritual. His body had no problems at all. This was like high-intensity online gaming. All you encountered were pig-like teammates. The level of brain damage has been upgraded. Even if you were not physically exhausted, you would be mentally exhausted!
This was almost the same feeling that Aoba had right now. Also, as more and more shadow clones were deployed and every time the shadow clones were canceled, it would cause a great burden to his spirit, bringing him a strong sense of exhaustion.
This feeling was not very easy to say...
Often, the more information he received, the more complicated the feeling would be.
However, there were pros and cons to this feeling.
The advantage of this was that when he let the shadow clone carry out training, read memories, or study, he would not personly feel tired. What he would feel was the shadow clone fatigue.
It was no different from doing nothing.
The disadvantage was that after these shadow clones were canceled, all the fatigue accumulated would be stacked on him.
From a certain point of view. This was the reason why Taju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique) was categorized as a forbidden technique.
Aoba had arranged many shadow clones, so it was bound to cause a lot of mental impacts.
"Rest."
Aoba chose to lie on the bed and have a good rest. He was ready to meet the information that might be sent back by the shadow clone in his sleep.
...
Soon.
Half a day and a night have passed.
Aoba had not gotten up since he came back and lay on the bed. It was very chaotic outside now.
Shimura Danzo was injured.
Fugaku was suspecting Orochimaru.
The people in the village were all talking about Kumogakure's ninja invasion.
It could be said that it was extremely chaotic. Going out now was not a wise choice. It was more comfortable to lie in the dormitory.
Early morning.
Before Aoba woke up, he felt a wave of information attack him.
Instantly, Aoba woke up. However, he was still lying on the bed with his eyes closed.
Awake.
But not completely awake yet.
After Aoba received all the information, he slowly opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling and a hint of fatigue flashed through his eyes.
Soon, this tiredness disappeared.
"It seems that those things are quite difficult to deal with!"
Aoba muttered silently, then looked at the shadow clone who was still writing at the side.
In order to finish the story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School in one go, this shadow clone had been writing for an entire night.
"Continue writing for a while longer. I'll go to the tower."
Aoba said to the shadow clone that could be said to have accumulated a large amount of fatigue. After he finished speaking, he directly used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) and disappeared in a flash. He directly appeared on the first floor of the tower.
At this time, there was a wooden square on the ground in the middle, and were different in size. It looked like a large factory.
"The efficiency is not bad."
Aoba swept his gaze over the wood on the ground. Everything that the previously removed shadow clones had done had been completely transmitted into his mind.
Instantly, Aoba raised his hands and crossed his two fingers in front of his chest, forming a hand seal.
"Taju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique)!"
Aoba immediately used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, causing thousands of Aoba who looked exactly like him to appear on the ground in front of him.
Swish!
Aoba's figure flashed once again. He directly used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) and returned to Anbu's dormitory. He did not stay on the first floor for too long. Now, all the shadow clones on the first floor knew what to do.
As Aoba's figure disappeared.
The shadow clones on the first floor began to work one after another. Each of them had different tasks on their hands. They all operated on the wood squares on the ground that were processed from the trees. There was no obstruction at all, and they quickly began to move.
In the Anbu dormitory.
Aoba's figure had just disappeared when he came back again. It only took him a few seconds.
"Up to where you write it?" Aoba asked the shadow clone who was writing the story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School.
"It's almost finished. It should be another two or three hours!" The shadow clone replied. He still looked very energetic and was not completely exhausted.
"You continue to write here. If someone comes, remove yourself. If no one comes, you can finish writing and then remove yourself. I am going to work in the compartment." Aoba nodded at the shadow clone. Then he quickly walked to the wardrobe and picked up Anbu's ninja clothes. He was ready to go to work in the compartment again.
"Understood." The shadow clone nodded. As he spoke, his eyes were still focused on the red book. His hand did not stop and he wrote on the book one by one.
Aoba did not say anything else. He was the one who wrote the story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School.
Most of the time, he wrote it personally. Only a few times, he used the shadow clone to write it and finally sent the information back.
However, the shadow clone also had the same consciousness as Aoba. The content to write was also what Aoba was thinking. Because of this, Aoba knew how much he would need to write in two or three hours.
The speed of writing was very slow. Especially here, he had to write with a pen. The speed was even slower.
Aoba was not in a hurry. After he changed into Anbu's ninja clothes, he put on the cat face mask and walked out of Anbu's dormitory.
Aoba walked out of Anbu's dormitory and went straight to Konohagakure Intelligence Division's compartment.
Now, the compartment still felt a little damp inside. After all, he had just released a lot of water yesterday, and Konohagakure Intelligence Division was in a low terrain. It was normal for water to enter.
Not long after.
The sound of footsteps coming from outside the compartment sounded. The guard leader led a large group of prisoners toward Aoba's compartment.
"Hi!"
After the guard leader saw Aoba, he immediately waved at Aoba. Right now, the first priority for punishing these waiting prisoners was to send these people to Aoba and teach them a lesson.
"Bring them in!"
The guard leader ordered the guards around him. As soon as he spoke, the guards began to send over a dozen of them.
Before coming here, these prisoners had already heard that the person they were going to meet was the famous cat-faced demon in this period of time. They had already made preparations in their hearts.
When they saw Aoba, who was wearing a cat-faced mask, they were stunned. They were still extremely shocked. Everyone looked at Aoba in horror, not daring to make a sound.
Aoba had long established his own reputation among Konohagakure Intelligence Division, and the title of cat-faced demon had become a nightmare in the hearts of many prisoners.
"So many?"
Aoba swept his gaze over the prisoners who were being escorted in. The pillars here were not enough, and there were two or three prisoners tied to the same pillar. The scene was very crowded.
"Hehehe, yes, I met some dishonest people and tough bones. I sent them all to you!" The guard leader said with a smile. However, he had a helmet on his head, so Aoba couldn't see his face clearly. He didn't know what kind of smile it was.
"En, alright."
Aoba nodded. He didn't have any objections to these things. For him, no matter who he interrogated, it was the same process. He had already formed his own routine and habits.
If the person who came here for the first time contributed his memories and increased his strength, then he would give them a chance. After all, Konohagakure Intelligence Division's core goal was to make the other party confess, not to punish them fiercely.
But...
If it was a person who came here for the second time!
Not only did it prove that he had no value in using the Mind Reading System, but it also made it clear that this person was a repeat offender.
Almost nothing!
In that case, Aoba was going to punish them severely. He wanted them to not dare to commit crimes in the future!
After all, Konohagakure's law was still very light. As long as they have a good attitude toward confessing their crimes and were only petty theft, they would be locked in Konoha Prison for a few days. They would not suffer any abuse. In the hearts of those criminals, they did not treat Konoha Prison as a big deal. They did not even feel threatened in their hearts.
However, such a problem was solved by Aoba.
The cat-faced demon that Aoba had transformed into could interrogate to a certain extent under the permission of Konohagakure Intelligence Division's rules with the purpose of obtaining information from the mouths of these prisoners.
This was the point that Aoba made the prisoners feel the most desperate in their hearts. Sometimes, he did not ask for information at all and only tortured them.
This caused these prisoners to be stuck in Konohagakure Intelligence Division, completely restricting them!
"By the way..."
The guard leader's gaze fell on Aoba. He looked deeply at Aoba's mask, and a thought that he had been thinking about for a long time appeared in his mind.
"Do you want to apply for a larger working room?"
"If you don't feel comfortable speaking..."
"I can say it for you!"
"It's obviously a little crowded here. It's not enough. If we can change it to a bigger one, we can stuff more people inside!" The guard leader immediately suggested.
He had long wanted to let Aoba switch to a large working room. This compartment was really too small.
It was no longer enough to satisfy his need to send prisoners to the cat-faced demon.
The guard leader had gotten a lot of benefits from Aoba during this period of time. If he sent these prisoners to Aoba, he would be able to get the confession letter. The efficiency was very high. No matter how stubborn the prisoners were, they were like weak little sheep here.
As the guard leader who had allocated all of these prisoners, he could choose whose prisoners to send to Aoba, making them quickly lose their first time. When they came back, they would already be people with a stain.
Those who had a stain would beg him!
If it can give him some benefits, then he would send them to the other compartment. Otherwise, he would send them to Aoba.
There were even some rich people among them and they would often spend money to bribe him. This way, they would never come to the cat-faced demon's compartment.
These things allowed the guard leader to secretly gain a lot of benefits. However, he could not tell Aoba, nor did he dare to tell Aoba. He was also afraid that he would be interrogated by Aoba.
However, the guard leader did not know. Aoba did not care who he sent over.
He only needed to ensure that the people standing in his compartment were following his rhythm. That was enough. He was just an ordinary office worker, not a great hero who wanted to save the world.
"No."
Aoba shook his head directly. What kind of joke was this? If it was a big place, wouldn't that increase his workload?
At that time, more prisoners or suspects would be sent to him!
Other interrogator ninjas could laze around and get their money every day, and he needs to be very serious and busy. How could there be such a reason?
Aoba did not approve of such a thing!
"Why?"
The guard leader stared at Aoba in surprise. He thought that Aoba would gladly accept it, but he did not expect that Aoba would directly refuse it.
Was there anyone who would refuse to be promoted?
One had to know that changing to a larger working room meant being promoted. The words of a guard leader were more or less useful. It could tell Konohagakure Intelligence Division's bosses who had more efficient work and more development in the future.
The guard leader had always obtained money for him to put in good words!
If he hadn't gotten a lot of benefits from Aoba...
No.
It should be said that...
He had gained a lot of benefits from Aoba..
Now his thinking was very simple, that was, if he earned it, he would at least give some to Aoba and he couldn't eat it all by himself.
"I'm used to this place. It's pretty good, I don't want to change it." Aoba shook his head and said.
"Ah?!"
When the guard leader heard Aoba's words, he was stunned and did not know how to respond.
Was this a reason?
What kind of reason was this?
Used to it?
This...
At this moment, the guard leader was speechless. He did not know what to say.
Not only was he surprised. Even the surrounding prisoners who were tied up and listening to the two of them were staring at Aoba in confusion.
"It's too crowded here. If we change it to a bigger compartment, the prisoners will be more scattered. You can also relax a little!" The voice of the guard leader sounded again.
"It's warmer if you squeeze it," Aoba replied indifferently. As he spoke, he directly made the people here not know what to say.
However, one of the impatient prisoners said to Aoba.
"Cat-faced demon, he wants to speak up for you. He wants to push you and help you get promoted!"
The reason why this prisoner helped the guard leader explain was very simple. He wanted to use this opportunity to make the cat-faced demon and the guard leader have some impression of him.
Maybe the cat-faced demon would be a little gentler and let him go so that he could safely get out of Konohagakure Intelligence Division.
As for the guard leader.
The meaning of this was much greater!
Whether or not he would come here in the future would all depend on the arrangement of the guard leader. As long as the guard leader was willing to give him a certain degree of water, there would be no problem in accepting the interrogation. It would be fine as long as he did not accept the cat-faced demon's interrogation again.
After the prisoner made a simple and easy explanation, the guard leader looked at this person meaningfully and nodded silently.
That gaze seemed to be saying...
Boy!
You did something good!
Well done!
After the explanation of this prisoner was spread out, the other prisoners were upset. Why didn't they think of such a thing? Someone directly took the initiative. Now they could only watch that person get great benefits, and they could only be envious.
"I am not interested in promotion."
Aoba's indifferent voice slowly sounded. His tone was very flat and there was almost no fluctuation of emotion. It felt like he was talking about an extremely ordinary thing.
"..."
Everyone present, whether it was the prison guard on the side or the prisoners who were tied up for interrogation, were all speechless after hearing Aoba's words.
It was the first time that they had seen such a strange person.
"Hahahahaha, as expected of the cat-faced demon!"
The guard leader immediately laughed to cover up the awkward situation. Then, he waved to the prison guards beside him.
"Let's go out. Don't disturb the cat-faced demon!"
After the guard leader finished speaking, he took the lead and walked out. When the prison guards heard him, they immediately followed him. No one said anything else.
At that moment just now. The guard leader felt that Aoba was a little unappreciative. However, he could still count on Aoba to gain some benefits, so he did not say too harsh words to Aoba.
Since you don't want to be promoted. Then you will stay in this dark place for the rest of your life!
After the guard leader left. Aoba's gaze fell on the prisoners who were waiting to be interrogated. His eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, and his aura instantly changed, causing the temperature here to drop a lot.
"Is this your first time?"
Aoba's voice echoed in the compartment, clearly drilling into everyone's ears.
For a moment, the expression of these prisoners changed greatly, and their eyes were filled with terror.
...
Unconsciously.
A day passed.
Aoba handed over the room full of prisoners and their confession letters to the prison guards outside.
He then ended his day's work.
It was the first time that these prisoners had come to his compartment.
However, he still chose some "lucky" prisoners and gave them a whip that would make them remember him. It was enough to make them not dare to do anything illegal in the future.
The reason why Aoba did this was because when Kumogakure's ninjas invaded Konohagakure, and when Konohagakure was flooded, they took advantage of the chaos and steal.
These people were only a small part of them and most of them were not caught.
However, since these people appeared in his compartment, Aoba would not let them go easily.
Soon, Aoba returned to Anbu's dormitory and looked at the red book on the table.
It was almost noon.
Aoba had already received the news that the shadow clone had been canceled.
The story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School was finished.
Aoba raised his hand and picked up the red book. Then he walked toward the door. Just as he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped.
"No!"
Aoba quickly thought about it in his mind. Then, he began to retreat and returned to the seat next to the table.
"Now is not the best time to ask Eaton to publish this book."
Aoba narrowed his eyes slightly. With a thought, his hands immediately formed a seal and summoned another shadow clone.
After the shadow clone appeared, it stood in front of Aoba and stared at him.
"Write all the contents of this book on this black book. The faster you copy, the better. When you finish, cancel yourself to inform me."
As Aoba spoke, he quickly took out a black book.
"Yes!"
After the shadow clone heard Aoba's words, he immediately raised his hand to take the dark book. Then, he sat on the chair and quickly opened the book, searching for the location of the latest page.
Then, he flipped the red book that he had already written to the corresponding location of the plot.
He picked up the pen and began to write quickly.
"You can write slowly. I'll go eat ramen!"
Aoba nodded at the shadow clone. Then, he took a step and left the Anbu dormitory. When he walked out, he met several people along the way. They all nodded at him. There was even one person who raised his hand and greeted Aoba.
Aoba had seen these people before. However, he couldn't remember their names.
These people were the same as him who had participated in reading Kumogakure's ninja memories. They were the Anbu from the Yamanaka Clan.
After these Anbus got the manuscript of the first chapter of Teacher Bai of the Ninja Academy that Aoba had written, they all praised the brilliance of this story. They had privately discussed the plot that might appear in the future, but they could not think of what kind of surprise awaited them.
In a few short days.
These Anbus were looking forward to the story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School.
Some of the manuscripts even passed out inadvertently.
Of course, everyone did not mention these things in public.
It was just like how the students would not shout out the topic of asking for resources or discussing related resources in the classroom. However, when they were privately chatting on QQ, it was uncertain. Perhaps some packages and resource links were already on the way. (TLN: Tencent QQ, also known as QQ, is an instant messaging software service and web portal developed by the Chinese tech giant Tencent. QQ offers services that provide online social games, music, shopping, microblogging, movies, and group and voice chat software.)
It was precisely because of this batch of manuscripts that after they were spread out, it caused a lot of repercussions in Konohagakure's ninja circle.
Almost every ninja who graduates from the ninja school has the most basic understanding of the structure of the ninja school, and it was very easy to substitute into it. In addition, Kumogakure had just attacked Konohagakure, so they needed some ways to vent at this time node.
Unconsciously, the story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School was already regarded as a godly piece of art in the hearts of many ninjas by virtue of the first chapter manuscript.
So...
Many children who were still in the Ninja School found that their fathers picked them up from school at a high frequency.
These were all subtle influences.
However, there was some regret in the hearts of the ninjas. That was that they did not know who the author of this manuscript was. The people who spread it did not say anything about this side at all.
For a moment.
'Who wrote the story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School?' become a topic of discussion in the ninja circle. They could not imagine who was so talented, but one thing they could be sure of was that the author was Konohagakure's ninja, because the background was in Konohagakure!
Of course, Aoba himself did not know about this matter.
At this time.
He walked all the way out of Anbu's dormitory and met many Anbu from Yamanaka Clan greeting him. These people all knew that the author was Aoba, but they did not say it out loud. They only silently regarded Aoba as the god who wrote the book in their hearts.
"It can't be. Didn't I just give them a manuscript? Is there a need to change their character so much?"
After Aoba walked out of Anbu's dormitory, he was still confused. He was not very clear why these Anbu changed so obviously.
You have to know...
When they were on their last mission.
These people were afraid of Aoba, afraid that he would be on the same team as them and delay their promotion.
...
Aoba didn't think too much about it. After coming out, he directly walked toward Ramen Ichiraku.
After the Kumogakure invasion incident and the flood incident, as one of Teuchi's few friends, he had to go and greet him.
After a while, Aoba walked to the entrance of Ramen Ichiraku. He lifted the curtain and walked in.
"Brother Teuchi, give me a bowl of ramen!" Aoba said to Teuchi.
At this time, there were not many people in the shop.
Once again, it returned to the desolate state when the Third Ninja World War had just erupted. People hoarded food and hid at home, and very few people came out to eat ramen.
"Alright!"
When Teuchi saw Aoba, he immediately narrowed his eyes and smiled. You could see the joy on his face.
"Aoba, why are you free to come today? Aren't you Konohagakure Intelligence Division very busy?"
As Teuchi spoke, he directly picked up the kitchen knife and cut the noodles that had been kneaded on the board, preparing to cut them into strands of noodles.
"I'm here to see you!" Aoba stared at Teuchi and said. When he saw that Ramen Ichiraku had not suffered any damage, he felt much more at ease. After all, when he was spraying water, it could be considered a type of attack. He did not deliberately show any mercy.
"You're the best kid!" Teuchi immediately gave Aoba a thumbs-up. Then, he retracted his finger and continued to prepare the noodles. He said, "Wait a moment. I will cook your ramen and then have a good chat with you!"
"Okay."
Aoba nodded. He could clearly see that Teuchi knead the dough and cut it on the spot.
The reason was very simple.
There were fewer customers!
Step, step, step...
Just at this time, footsteps sounded outside the entrance. As the footsteps got closer and closer. The curtain at Ramen Ichiraku was lifted.
After that, three people walked in.
They stood at the door and looked for a seat. Finally, their eyes instantly focused on Aoba and their eyes instantly lit up.
"Aoba, you are indeed here. We have been looking for you for half a day. Now we finally found you!"
In a split second, the one in the middle of the three spoke.
The meaning of this sentence was very clear.
They were here specifically for Aoba!
