"A ninja from the Uzumaki Clan?"
When Eaton heard this, a lot of question marks appeared in his head. This question sounded very strange.
Others did not know the identity of the mysterious ninja.
Didn't he know?
That was Aoba!
Yamanaka Aoba!
He was not a ninja from the Uzumaki Clan!
He was very sure of this!
"No!"
"Definitely not!"
"I can guarantee it!"
Eaton nodded repeatedly. There was no point in hesitation when he said these words. He had never associated Aoba with the Uzumaki Clan. This was something that was impossible to begin with.
"What guarantee do you have?"
When Hiruzen heard Eaton's words, he immediately smiled. He felt that Eaton answered too quickly. There is something wrong with this. In this world, who can guarantee someone?
"I..."
When Eaton heard Hiruzen's words, he was stunned for a moment and did not know how to continue.
Yes!
What guarantee did he have?
Personality?
Or his life?
Now that he couldn't reveal Aoba's identity, there was no way to prove that Aoba had nothing to do with the people of the Uzumaki Clan.
Most importantly...
Eaton had no idea why Aoba was connected to the Uzumaki Clan. Hadn't the Uzumaki Clan disappeared a long time ago?!
"Eaton."
Hiruzen's face turned solemn and serious. He stared at Eaton with burning eyes, he looked powerful and dignified.
"To tell you the truth!"
"The mysterious ninja you brought used a sealing technique that could imprison the soul when treating Danzo!"
"We have never seen such a sealing technique paired with medical ninjutsu!"
"Moreover."
"Only the members of the Uzumaki Clan know this kind of sealing technique!"
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Hiruzen did not say anything else, but it was not vague at all. The purpose of his words was to let Eaton understand it himself, understand such things, and then tell the specific truth.
"Sandaime-sama..."
Eaton took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. He looked at Hiruzen's dignified appearance. If he did not know Aoba's identity, he would really think that he had brought a very dangerous person to the village.
"I can be sure that he is not in any danger to the village, and he is the one who saved Danzo-sama. There is no need to keep pursuing the identity of the other party like this..."
Eaton mustered up the courage to say this. He had always wanted to say this, but he had never said it.
It was precisely because of this matter.
He already had a lot of complaints about the Hiruzen in his heart.
After all.
He felt that Hiruzen frequently asking about Aoba's identity was a little too degrading, and there was really no need.
"You!"
Hiruzen slowly shook his head. Through Eaton's words, he could already confirm that he could not get anything out of him.
The other party did not realize the seriousness of the matter at all.
However, that was also true...
The other party had never experienced the annihilation of the clan of the Uzumaki Clan. It was reasonable that he was not aware of the importance of the matter. Even if he encountered the people of the Uzumaki Clan, he would not think that they would cause any harm to the village.
"Eaton, if you don't want to tell me, I won't force you. Since you know the identity of that person, I hope you will pay more attention. If there is anything wrong, you can report to me at any time!"
At this point, Hiruzen stood up and prepared to leave.
There were still many things waiting for him.
For example, go back and look at the memories of the three Iwagakure ninjas.
And on this matter, what kind of explanation should he give Iwagakure to prevent Konohagakure from getting involved in this Third Ninja World War.
These were all very important things!
"I'm leaving."
Hiruzen immediately stood up and walked out of Eaton's office. He did not continue to waste time here.
After Hiruzen left.
Eaton silently sat on the chair at his desk. He lowered his head to look at the book "Teacher Bai of the Ninja School" on the table and fell into silence.
After a long time.
Eaton sighed deeply and his eyes become complicated.
"Aoba..."
"Who the hell are you?"
"Why do I feel like I don't know you anymore?"
Eaton had thought of this a long time ago, but he had never been so clear about it. Now that he thought about it, he was even more confused.
Physically weak, but has never had any problems in the Konohagakure Intelligence Division.
For no reason, he became Tsunade-sama's disciple.
His medical ninjutsu made all of Konohagakure's medical ninjas blush with shame.
Now, Hiruzen suspected that he was a ninja from the Uzumaki Clan.
And...
Such a special identity was hidden very well by Aoba.
He knew.
But no one else knew.
This was not normal in itself.
"Forget it!"
"I don't want to think anymore!"
"I'll ask him directly after his Chunin Exams!"
Eaton shook his head hard and suppressed his messy thoughts. After that, he once again focused his attention on the book in front of him.
The story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School.
Although he had read it countless times.
But every time he read it again, he would still be amazed by it.
...
After Aoba finished eating ramen, he said goodbye to Teuchi and went straight back to Anbu dormitory.
After eating this bowl of ramen.
He felt a lot better.
The dissatisfaction he had felt over the past few days had disappeared with the thick soup.
It had to be said.
This time, Teuchi prepare a big portion of ramen.
It was very, very thick.
It was extremely satisfying.
...
Aoba walks back to the Anbu dormitory. On his way back, he had already been noticed by some people. However, they were no longer as enthusiastic as when they saw Aoba.
Things were different now.
In the past.
They thought that the story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School was written by Aoba.
Thus, they looked at Aoba with a strange gazes.
It was different now.
They had already seen the author of the story "Teacher Bai of the Ninja School." They already understood what was going on.
Fugaku.
Wasn't that Uchiha Fugaku?
Gradually.
The ninjas who knew the truth began to lose their enthusiasm for Aoba.
Of course.
Aoba was also happy.
After Aoba returned to the Anbu dormitory, he immediately took a bath and changed into a clean set of clothes. Just as he was done, he heard a series of knocks on the door.
"Coming!"
Aoba responded and immediately walked toward the door. He was not so surprised that someone knocked on the door. After all, the people here had already seen his return.
The information had already been sent out.
The people who paid attention to him naturally knew about these things.
It was just that...
Aoba didn't know if the first person to arrive was Eaton or Fugaku. Other than these two people, he couldn't think of anyone else.
Aoba walked to the door.
He lifted his hand and unlocked the door.
A figure appeared in front of him.
"Aoba, you didn't expect it to be me, right?"
A crafty voice sounded. This voice made Aoba feel a bit familiar. After seeing the face, he instantly recalled a memory.
This person was neither Eaton nor Fugaku.
Rather, it was Yamanaka Kaze, who was willing to be in the same group as him when he was doing Danzo's mission.
However, the present was different from the past.
Aoba was still the same Aoba.
However, Kaze had already become a member of Root!
"I really didn't expect that."
Aoba nodded. He was telling the truth. He had thought of many people who might come to see him, but he had never thought that Kaze would come.
He and Kaze were not friends.
He didn't even have a good impression of him.
It stands to reason that there would be no more communication between them.
"Aren't you going to invite me in?" Kaze smiled as he looked at Aoba.
"Please come in."
Aoba said lightly. After that, he return back inside and pulled out a chair for Kaze.
"Then I won't be polite."
Although Kaze said this, in fact, he did not mean to be polite at all. He directly stepped into Aoba's room and closed the door with a backhand. Then he entered the room and sat on the chair Aoba had prepared.
"Aoba, do you know why I came here to see you?"
Kaze said as if he was keeping Aoba in suspense. His eyes stared at Aoba meaningfully, and his eyes contained a rich meaning.
Aoba felt bored.
You came to me and you asked me why you came?
What kind of bad taste was this?
Just like before Aoba came to this world, there was one thing he hated the most in the modern world, and that was when answering the phone, the other party asked him who he was?
Please!
Is there a mistake?
Why are you asking me when you are looking for me?
However.
Right now, Aoba just happened to have the slightest bit of interest.
He raised his head and met Kaze's gaze.
"In order to be the first to laugh?"
Aoba saw a trace of ridicule in Kaze's eyes. In addition, their relationship was not that good, so this kind of thing was not difficult to understand.
"No."
Kaze shook his head, and the smile on his face turned a little helpless. He said, "Am I so unbearable in your impression? I did hear that you forfeited in the Chunin Exams, but definitely not to laugh at you, but to chat with you."
"What do we have to talk about?" Aoba asked in confusion.
"You should know that I was on the same team as Saki and Rin in the past. It was me!" Kaze said in a low voice. When he mentioned this matter, his expression did not look so happy.
"I have heard of it." Aoba nodded and did not say much. He always felt that Kaze coming this time was not a simple matter.
"Now you also feel Saki and Rin's character. It must be very hard to be teammates with them. Now you also understand why I must enter the Anbu and rely on my own strength to climb up." Kaze spread his hands and said helplessly.
"I understand. You are here to complain..." When Aoba saw Kaze's appearance, he immediately understood. This guy must have had many unspeakable encounters with the two girls. He had a stomach full of bitterness. Now, he finally found someone who could sympathize with him.
"About the same!"
Kaze nodded. The moment he knew that Aoba had taken over his position and joined Saki and Rin to participate in the Chunin Exam, he wanted to come over and talk to Aoba.
However...
At that time, he felt that if he talked too much, he would be chewing his tongue instead.
It would be better to wait until Aoba come back.
Now was the best time.
"If I'm not wrong..."
The corners of Kaze's mouth curled up again, revealing a disdainful arc. However, this expression was not directed at Aoba, but toward Saki and Rin.
"I'm afraid you've been misunderstood by her, right?"
The moment Kaze said this.
Aoba immediately understood.
It seemed.
Saki was the king of brain supplementation.
She must have done this kind of thing many times before.
Kaze may have suffered a lot from this aspect.
"Hahahahaha..."
Aoba suddenly laughed. He didn't say a word. He just laugh, and everything was clearly expressed.
Saki and Rin were simply two big clowns.
It was just that ordinary people really couldn't hold on.
One is the king of brain supplementation.
The other was mainly based on intuition.
Many things were useless even if he explains them!
"It seems like that is indeed the case." Kaze sighed helplessly.
"You didn't look for me just to complain, did you?"
Aoba saw that Kaze didn't say anything specific. There was only helplessness on his face, and he didn't hate that level of negative emotions.
No matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem like he come here just to complain.
He keeps feeling that there were other things here.
"Complaining is only a part of it, but not the most important part. I have already received a mission to read your memory to make sure that you did not cheat in the Chunin Exams!"
Kaze's face suddenly changed. The smiling face just now disappeared, replaced by a stern look.
"I know you won't let me read your memory easily!"
"So I prepared an anesthetic beforehand!"
"By the way..."
"I have a good relationship with Saki and Rin!"
"I came here to complain just to arouse your resonance to let you relax your vigilance!"
In front of Aoba, Kaze performed a dramatic change in expression. Just now, he had been smiling helplessly at his fellow sufferers, but now, he had revealed his fangs.
"I see."
Aoba did not show any surprise, as if he had already seen through all of this. He was extremely indifferent and had no reaction at all.
"Hmm?"
Kaze stared at Aoba closely. He could already see that Aoba had not changed at all. He could not help but reveal a puzzled expression.
"Strange."
"Why haven't you fallen yet?"
"It doesn't make sense."
"Is the dosage not right?"
Kaze stared at Aoba and muttered to himself. He had prepared a large amount of anesthetic that was enough to make Aoba unconscious. But now, it seemed that it had no effect at all.
"Can I tell you that I don't feel anything at all?"
Aoba said indifferently. He looked at Kaze's puzzled and slightly panicked eyes. He felt that this person was really a villain. He actually directly used drugs in front of him.
However.
These drugs were completely useless to him.
His Sage Body could be said to be immune to poison and had no reaction at all. If Kaze did not take the initiative to say it, he would not have noticed this matter.
