"Why don't you have any reaction at all?"
After saying this, Eaton kept his eyes on Aoba. He did not see the kind of result he wanted from Aoba.
"What kind of reaction do you expect from me?"
Aoba pursed his lips helplessly. The position of Konohagakure Intelligence Division Captain was not important to him at all. He had never cared about this at all, much less expected it. It could be said that he did not care at all.
What's more...
Now, only he and Eaton remained in Konohagakure Intelligence Division.
If Eaton was promoted...
He would be alone in Konohagakure Intelligence Division.
In that case.
Does it matter if he becomes the Konohagakure Intelligence Division's Captain?
Aoba did not feel that this matter was attractive at all. On the contrary, it would make him appear in the eyes of more people. Overall, it was not necessarily a good thing.
However.
He was also clear.
Since Eaton had specifically come for this matter.
In that case, that was basically it.
"Um... that... if it was Konohagakure Intelligence Division Captain, you should be more or less happy!"
When Eaton saw that Aoba was not interested in his current seat, he felt a sense of loss for no reason.
It made him a little depressed.
It seemed that his Konohagakure Intelligence Division Captain was not so valuable.
"Brother Eaton, let's talk about the next topic. Is there any other news?" Aoba directly changed the topic.
"..."
The corners of Eaton's mouth twitched slightly. Before he had said this to Aoba, he had thought that Aoba might not like the position of Konohagakure Intelligence Division Captain. However, he had not expected that Aoba would disregard this position to such an extent. It was simply inconceivable.
"Next topic..."
"Hmm..."
"That's right!"
"I still have something to ask you!"
"I want to ask you..."
"How strong are you now?"
Eaton asked the question that had been accumulating in his heart all this time. This question had been bothering him for a long time, and he had not gotten an answer once.
Not long ago.
Aoba was a teenager who needed to be taken care of in his eyes.
However.
After the battle with Iwagakure.
His opinion of Aoba had undergone a huge change. Now, he felt that there was a big problem. Aoba was not as weak as he imagined.
This person was very low-key!
If he hadn't forced himself to ask Aoba whether it was possible to treat Danzo's injuries, Aoba might not have made a move, and Aoba had only made a simple move and cured Danzo's injuries.
If not for the fact that Hiruzen wanted them to go to the battlefield, he wouldn't have known that Aoba could take out such a powerful barrier, and he wouldn't have known that he also have an extremely complicated space-time ability.
And about the thing above...
It was not something that could be easily learned by simply reading a book.
There was a very big problem here.
Eaton was very clear. Aoba definitely had something to hide. He originally didn't want to ask, but he couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart.
"Brother Eaton, are you sure you want to know?"
When Aoba said this, his face became serious. His eyes stared at Eaton, revealing a very serious look.
"I want to know." Eaton nodded.
"Brother Eaton, I have to advise you one more time. The less you know, the better it is for you. You know a lot now. If you want to know more things, I am afraid you will have to pay the price. I hope you can think about this more clearly." Aoba said slowly.
"Price?" Eaton was stunned for a moment.
He did not know what price there was that he could not bear. What he could not understand was what price Aoba could make him pay. After that, he said, "I still want to know. As long as you are willing to say it, I want to listen."
"I understand."
Aoba nodded. He understood that Eaton was already prepared, so he did not say anything else.
Suddenly.
Aoba's figure flashed and appeared in front of Eaton at an extremely fast speed.
This kind of speed was beyond Eaton's expectations.
Not to mention dodging.
Even his eyes could not keep up.
His body's instinctive reaction was too late to make any movements.
Slap!
Aoba slapped Eaton's shoulder, making a crisp sound. His hand strength was not strong, and there was no other characteristic.
This power seemed to have magical power.
There was no pain.
However, it made Eaton freeze in place and unable to move.
"..."
Eaton found that he could not move at all. Not only could he not move his body, but he also could not even mobilize his chakra. He could not even speak. He could only quietly look at Aoba in front of him. A lot of question marks appeared in his head.
Was this price he had to pay?
Eaton gradually understood what Aoba meant, but he was not very clear about what Aoba was planning to do.
"Brother Eaton."
At this time, Aoba slowly spoke. His eyes stared at Eaton, and there was a little complicated emotion in his eyes.
"During this period of time..."
"You have always taken care of me."
"This makes me very touched."
"So even though you know a lot of my secrets."
"But I choose to believe that you won't tell anyone!"
"I didn't use any means to interfere."
"Now that you want to know more, I have to control your words. Otherwise, I will be in a very troublesome situation."
Aoba said one sentence after another. His tone was very flat, without any fierce words. It seemed like he was speaking ordinary words.
However.
After hearing these words.
Eaton suddenly realized.
Aoba seemed to be going to lay his cards on the table with him.
He might also know more secrets.
For a moment.
He couldn't help but look forward to it even more.
"Actually..."
Aoba's voice sounded again, clearly transmitted into Eaton's ears. It was still the same steady tone as before.
"I originally planned to change a part of your memories. That way, you wouldn't realize it and would appear very natural."
"In the end, I still couldn't bear to."
"After all, Brother Eaton, you really treat me very well!"
"So..."
"I can only seal your mouth!"
"Sorry..."
"Excuse me!"
After Aoba finished his last sentence, his figure flashed again, directly appearing in front of Eaton, raising his hand to slap Eaton's neck.
