Aoba's eyes were focused on the character relationship diagram in the paper.
Although he had not checked the latter of Danzo's memories, it was only from the information he had so far.
The reason why Danzo could come out of the mountain to be the Hokage Assistant was significantly related to Hiruzen's polite invitation.
Even...
Even if Hiruzen knew that Danzo's actions were wrong when he heard what he said, he had no other way.
Just like in the official plot, the Uchiha clan genocide. Things had already come to that point. If he did not do it, he would fall into a passive position.
Then...
It would be better to take the initiative to attack!
"Danzo's sword can be said to be a double-edged sword. Hiruzen needs Danzo's help to sit firmly in the Hokage position, but he has to be wary of whether Danzo will usurp and seize the Hokage position."
"But think about it..."
"Hiruzen has no choice but to hold this sword to grasp the Hokage position firmly!"
Aoba muttered to himself. Now he understood why Hiruzen was so greedy for power.
Everything was hard to come by!
Hiruzen had already paid too much for the Hokage position!
How could he give up the Hokage position so easily?
"It seems that if Minato wants to inherit the Hokage position, just the credit alone is not enough!"
Aoba rubbed his forehead, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes. Then he directly tore off the page in the book.
Aoba gently pointed at this piece of paper.
Rip! Rip! Rip!
This three people's relationship diagram was instantly ripped into pieces of paper.
Immediately after, these papers were rolled up and folded. They turned into different shapes. This was like a pair of invisible hands playing origami in the air.
As these papers changed into different appearances, they gathered together and turned back into blank paper. The content on the paper had disappeared after being ripped apart several times.
After Aoba took the paper, the paper directly merged into his palm as if it had never appeared before.
The entire process only happened in the blink of an eye.
After Aoba had dealt with the paper, he walked toward the office door, opened the door, and walked into the dark corridor.
"OH~"
"AH~"
"GAH~"
A series of screams faintly entered his ears. These voices came from different compartments. The interrogation works were in progress.
Aoba did not stay at the door of these compartments for too long. Instead, he walked directly toward the compartment that he was initially at.
Just as he walked to the door of the familiar compartment. The sound of intense whipping continued to sound inside.
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
These sounds were fierce and full of a certain rhythm, and with the screams of the tortured people, it was like a picture of interrogation scenes in Aoba's mind.
Aoba could feel the intensity inside through the compartment's door, and he nodded silently.
"You did a great job!"
Aoba silently gave Shinichi a thumbs-up in his heart. As he expected, there was a demon in everyone's heart, but it was just that it had not awakened.
The title of the cat-faced demon was entirely reserved for any ninja in the Konohagakure Intelligence Division.
Just told them that they could do whatever they wanted to the prisoners to be interrogated, make them fear the Konohagakure Intelligence Division, and finally dare not commit crimes again, which was an important method for Konohagakure to reduce the crime rate.
Aoba no longer specifically looked at how Shinichi played the cat-faced demon. None of this was important. It would be fine if everyone were playing the role of the cat-faced demon.
This way, the cat-faced demon's identity would become a public identity. No matter what happened to the cat-faced demon, it was impossible to investigate one person.
After knowing that Shinichi had entered the state, Aoba directly turned around and left, returning to his office.
...
Unconsciously.
An entire day passed just like that.
Aoba didn't do anything. He just went through Danzo's memories in his office. He saw that Danzo was starting to go all out.
Constantly accumulating strength every day. This period lasted three years. If Aoba played it too quickly, he might miss some details. But just looking at it a little bit was too troublesome.
However...
Aoba still decided to check it slowly. He wanted to see with his own eyes how Danzo had done it for so many years. He was like an intern sitting in the back row of an old driver. How did the old driver do the extreme operation in the curve? Not only could he observe the other person's process, but he could also learn some skills!
After leaving the office, Aoba walked directly toward the dormitory and returned to his room.
After closing his room door. Aoba immediately formed a hand seal and created a shadow clone to stay in the dormitory.
"You are here in place of me."
Aoba said to the shadow clone. Then, he immediately used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) and disappeared. He appeared directly on the first floor of the tower.
In an instant.
Scenes appeared in front of him. Those things that were still wooden blocks in his previous memory have now been completely pieced together into puppets.
Although these puppets were not complicated and there were no mechanisms, they were puppets that could be controlled entirely.
"Cancel it!"
After Aoba arrived, his gaze fell on these shadow clones. He felt that he should gather the experience of these shadow clones. This way, after summarizing it in his mind, the shadow clones he created again would become even more skillful.
"Yes!"
These shadow clones responded in unison. Just as they finished speaking, a series of explosions rang out, and after that, memories poured into Aoba's mind.
These memories were all the memories brought over by the shadow clones just now, causing Aoba's head to shake.
Hum!
Aoba felt a pain in his head.
"Using shadow clones in training is really not something that ordinary people can use!"
Aoba could not help but sigh. Every time he used the shadow clone in his training, his brain would be hit by an extremely strong impact. One had to know that he has Sage Body and extremely strong resilience. Even this would be affected, let alone an ordinary person.
Naruto was able to use this method to shorten his training. Not only was it related to Naruto's dense chakra but also to Naruto's powerful body recovery ability.
If it was an ordinary person...
After a few times of Taju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique)'s training, he would probably be unable to deal with the information, causing his brain to collapse.
A moment later, Aoba recovered and after a brand-new summary. He already had quite a bit of experience in puppet production.
Of course, he was still stuck on the most basic puppet creation.
Compared to those stronger puppet masters. There was still no way to compare them, at most, he was a beginner!
As for why he wanted to learn the puppet technique...
Aoba felt that the Second Kazekage's thinking was correct. Sometimes, one person could not become an army.
He could indeed use Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique).
However, after reading the Second Kazekage's theory about puppet creation, he felt that there were many things that the main body could not do.
For example...
Aoba could make a contract with the parasite and put it into the puppet so that the puppet could replace the ninja and use the secret technique of the Aburame clan.
Ever since Aoba saw the Second Kazekage's knowledge teaching about puppets in the memories of those ninjas in the Sunagakure, he has been making puppets silently.
"It is indeed quite troublesome."
Aoba discovered that the production of these puppets was like that of a precise artisan. Not only did he have to consider the intensity, but he also had to consider the flexibility. He did not feel anything when he had not personally made them. Now that he had been doing them for a few days, he realized it was more challenging than he had imagined.
Instantly, Aoba raised his hands and quickly made a series of seals. He crossed his two fingers and made a cross in front of his chest, which was exactly the Taju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique)'s hand seals.
"Taju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique)!"
With a thought, all the chakra in his body surged, and hundreds of shadow clones appeared in front of him in an instant.
"Now, each of you takes a puppet and fills up the parts where the puppet is not finished, and then start the puppet control technique training," Aoba said to these shadow clones.
"Yes!"
These shadow clones immediately responded, and then their figures flashed out one after another, quickly landing in front of each puppet and beginning to enter their own work.
When Aoba saw this scene, he silently nodded.
These puppets might have had some special effects during the Third Ninja World War. He was looking forward to it.
Aoba walked toward the watchtower on the third floor of the tower. He stood on the watchtower and looked down at the trees in front of him. His thoughts began to wander quickly.
"I wonder how far Minato has reached in the Sage Mode. Can he last for three minutes? This father is much faster than his son!"
Aoba could not help but complain. In his most intuitive feeling, Minato's Sage Mode seemed shorter and weaker than Naruto's.
"Is it possible for Kushina to learn Sage Mode?"
Aoba thought about Kushina again. He didn't know much about her. Everything he knew about her was either in the memories of when he watched anime before or in the outside world.
This made him not very clear about what her real ability was.
How powerful was she?
How much potential did she have?
Was it possible for her to become a perfect Kyuubi jinchuriki and enter the Kurama Chakra Mode?
If she could learn Mt. Myoboku Sage Mode. In the future, she might be able to unlock Sage Kyuubi Mode.
This kind of Kushina. Her strength might be better than Naruto's!
After all, Kushina was a real Uzumaki clan member, a natural red hair and a complete Kyuubi in her body. In terms of her current starting point, she was a bit higher than Naruto.
"How far has the Third Ninja World War developed?"
Aoba frowned slightly. Recently, he had lost all information about the outside world. Since Kumogakure launched a surprise attack on Konohagakure, Konohagakure seemed to have been isolated from the outside world.
At present, what he knew was that Kirigakure was likely to ambush Kumogakure and fight with them. However, it was unknown whether these things had happened or not.
In addition, Sunagakure should have attacked Amegakure, but the ending of this was easy to guess. Sunagakure should have returned in failure.
As for Iwagakure...
Aoba could not guess what choice Onoki, that bad old man, would make. This force was a bystander. But it might affect the future of the war.
Hum!
Right at this moment.
Aoba's head suddenly shook. It was the shadow clone that was guarding his room that had been canceled and brought a piece of information to Aoba.
"Danzo's injury relapsed?!"
Aoba frowned. His shadow clone had just been in the dormitory, waiting in his place in the room. But just now, Eaton had found him and told him that Danzo's injury had relapsed. He needed to come out and treat it.
When Aoba's shadow clone heard Eaton's words, he immediately reacted.
He quickly replied and asked Eaton to knock on the Anbu's door in the dormitory one by one. In name, he would conduct a check-up and put on a relatively heavy expression to not show any problems. Then, he and Eaton would meet at the latter's house.
When Aoba's shadow clone said this. Eaton was stunned on the spot. Why did it feel like he could enter his house as he pleased?
However, he had no time to think about it at this time. After all, Koharu-sama had already found him and told him there was a problem with Danzo-sama's injury. If he could not get treatment in time, he might die.
Because of this, after Eaton heard Aoba's answer. He immediately went to Anbu's room to knock on the door and used this method to cover up the fact that he had found Aoba.
After Eaton left, Aoba's shadow clone was removed and returned to Aoba with this information.
"Hiruzen, this is the method you think of!"
Aoba stared at the forest in front of him. When he read Danzo's memories, he had already seen through some of Hiruzen's strategies.
This was indeed something that Hiruzen could do.
After Aoba treated Danzo through a mysterious identity, he decided he would not use this identity for some time in the future. Presumably, Hiruzen could also guess this matter. Then, he would be very clear. It would be very difficult to find this mysterious medical ninja if he did not use any means.
Now was the time to use some means!
"But..."
There was a trace of confusion between Aoba's eyebrows. Whether he stood on Konohagakure's side or from Hiruzen's perspective, why did he have to find him?
"What's the point of doing this?"
Aoba felt that he used a special identity to treat Danzo. Moreover, he hid his skills and name. He didn't show it in front of them at all. Wouldn't it be better just quietly to go over it like this?
"Forget it; let's go take a look. What if Danzo's injury really relapsed!"
Aoba sighed helplessly. He knew that with such a situation, Hiruzen and the other higher-ups had already found Eaton. If he refused to go, Eaton would be under a lot of pressure for a time, and he might even be forced to reveal his identity in the end.
It seems...
Hiruzen had already discovered it accurately.
Eaton was the link that connected them. There was no need to go to the crowd to find him. He just needed to use methods to get Eaton to come to see him.
Suddenly, Aoba controlled his chakra and connected it to Madara's coffin.
Whoosh!
Aoba immediately used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique). His figure flashed and disappeared; he directly arrived at the black coffin.
He touched the coffin lid with both hands and used his chakra to remove the weight of the coffin lid directly. Then he lifted the coffin and took out the medical ninja's clothes and mask.
Aoba did not directly put the clothes in like before.
Instead, he prepared an Anbu's clothes and put those clothes on the side of the coffin and did not cover the lid of the coffin.
The next moment, Aoba took out a short piece of wood from the coffin. This was something he had prepared beforehand.
"Just in case, change your image!"
As Aoba spoke, the pieces of paper on his body began to fly randomly. In an instant, he used Shikigami no Mai(Dance of the Shikigami) and Kami no Shisha no Jutsu(Paper Person of God Technique) with the Henge no Jutsu(Transformation Technique). His entire body directly changed into another appearance. It was Satsuma Rentaro's appearance.
Recently, it had been easier for him to use this appearance.
"No!"
Just as Aoba was about to take action, he suddenly felt something was wrong with this image. If Hiruzen came prepared and forced him to reveal his appearance, then the matter of him being Satsuma Rentaro would be known by Eaton. Moreover, it would also cause Eaton to be implicated by colluding with Kirigakure's ninja.
Once this kind of hat was put on. Then it would be very difficult to take it off.
Aoba was almost instantly aware of this matter.
"The current transformation technique is not to stir up trouble but to conceal my identity, so I can't change into the appearance of an outsider. In that case... "
The corners of Aoba's mouth slightly curled up. He thought of an excellent image and immediately controlled the pieces of paper on his body to fly up again, and finally, a new appearance appeared.
He wore blue armor with a distinctive white fur collar over a simple black suit.
Silver hair and red eyes.
He wore an happuri(face armor) on his face.
There were red lines on each of his cheeks and chin.
The happuri that he was wearing had the symbol of Konohagakure.
The whole body's image was exactly Hiruzen's teacher, the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama.
Aoba knows Tobirama's image through Danzo's memory.
"If Hiruzen took off my mask, I wonder what kind of wonderful expression Hiruzen would have," Aoba said with a smile.
When he was looking through Danzo's memories, he had already seen the possibility of Tobirama's identity returning to the Ninja World.
According to Danzo's memories, since they escaped from Country of Lightning, they had never seen Tobirama. The only information that Country of Lightning sent was that Senju Tobirama had already died. Moreover, the Kinkaku Force, who was chasing after Senju Tobirama, also died.
But...
Hiruzen and Danzo did not see Tobirama's corpse. When Aoba saw Danzo's memory, he found a blind spot, which was just enough to use.
And according to his guess.
Orochimaru was able to summon Tobirama through Edo Tensei(Edo Tensei) in the Chunin Exam. It was not Tobima's body that he found, but Tobirama's personal information material that was initially kept in the village.
"I personally hope that I won't be exposed this time. After all, Eaton is still by the side. Tobirama's identity should be left to be used at an even more interesting time!"
Aoba felt that Tobirama's identity could be used at a more important time to stir up trouble. He had already mastered Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique), Taju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique), Gojo Kibaku Fuda(Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags), as well as many modified water release ninjutsu. Coupled with his abundant chakra, he could completely simulate Tobirama.
If the Second Hokage suddenly appeared in the current Ninja World, it should be able to produce a fascinating effect. At least, the deterrent force would exist. The Third Generation Kage could not be compared to Tobirama. Not to mention that Tobirama was the younger brother of Hashirama. In many people's hearts, Tobirama was also a legend.
After that, Aoba began to put on the white medical ninja outfit. From the appearance, it was no different from when he went to treat Danzo.
Aoba reached his right hand and picked up the white mask on the ground. He put the mask on his face. Combined with the medical ninja protective suit. He perfectly wrapped himself in it.
At this point, Aoba no longer had to worry about being exposed. He had added several layers of insurance to his identity. Even if his mask was torn off, there was still a cover layer. Even if they suspected the cover was fake, they would definitely not suspect him.
When Aoba had completely changed his clothes. He controlled his perception to determine the Flying Thunder God Formula in the basement of Eaton's house.
Swish!
Aoba's figure flashed and disappeared, directly appearing in the basement of Eaton's house.
"At this time, Eaton should not be back yet."
Aoba asked Eaton to check each room in Anbu's dormitory, not only to cover up the fact that Eaton had been to his room but also to provide him some time.
"Huh?"
Just as Aoba was about to walk out of the basement, he saw all kinds of props, leather belts, handcuffs, maces, and wax stains on the ground that had not been cleaned yet.
"You played quite well!"
Aoba nodded with a smile. He only swept his gaze over it once before directly going up the stairs in the basement. He did not stay here for too long.
When Aoba walked to the top of the stairs, he pushed open the door and directly came out of the basement. He had already determined through his perception that there was no one here.
Therefore, he was not afraid of meeting anyone. He swaggered to the sofa in the living room of Eaton's house and sat on it. His eyes looked straight ahead, and his mind thought about why Hiruzen was looking for him.
Time passed by.
Ten minutes later.
A series of rapid footsteps sounded and finally stopped at the door, then the sound of keys being inserted into the keyhole.
Click!
The door was unlocked.
Eaton quickly opened the door and leaned in. His eyes were fixed on Aoba, who was sitting on the sofa. His pupils shrank fiercely, and his eyes were full of shock.
