Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer Chapter 516 The Goddess of the Ninja World!
"Maintain the status quo!"
Aoba said something that Eaton did not quite understand.
So, Eaton looked at Aoba in a daze.
His eyes flickered with doubt.
"What do you mean?"
Eaton asked in confusion. After what happened just now, he thought that he already had the ability to analyze things. However, when he heard Aoba's words, he found that he did not understand them.
He did not know what Aoba meant at all.
Thus, he could only quietly look at Aoba, hoping to get some answers and explanations from what Aoba said.
"Isn't Sandaime-sama trying to show you goodwill? Then just accept it calmly. Perhaps, you can express the feeling that you are on his side. That way, Sandaime-sama will trust you more." Aoba said with a smile.
"Hiss..."
When Eaton heard this, he immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. He instantly understood what Aoba meant.
Too ruthless.
It was really too ruthless.
He was going to play Hiruzen to death!
Eaton had already foreseen what kind of scene it would be. Hiruzen treated him as one of his own and placed him in a key position.
As a result.
When Hiruzen needed him the most, he stabbed him in the back...
Too ruthless!
Just thinking about it made Eaton feel cold!
Although he supported Minato to become the Fourth Hokage, he had never participated in any power struggle before. This method could be said to be simple and efficient, but it made him a little uncomfortable.
"Aoba, are we really going to do this to Sandaime-sama? Actually, we don't have any enmity with him..."
Eaton took a deep breath and said.
He had spent his entire life in Anbu. He was indeed a very influential ninja in the Anbu, but in many matters, he was still a little immature.
Of course.
Eaton's experience was not immature.
He had interrogated and tortured many people, heard many complicated and outrageous stories, and knew the dark side of the ninja world. However, he was in such a circle, but he still had his bottom line. There were some things that he was unwilling to do.
"What are we going to do with him?"
Aoba was stunned by Eaton's words. He looked at Eaton in surprise and found that the latter looked very concerned.
His expression was very obvious.
There were some things he wanted to say, but he was too embarrassed to say. He was afraid that if he said it, it would affect the relationship between the two of them.
"Do you have any misunderstandings about my words?"
The corners of Aoba's mouth slightly curled up. He just stared at Eaton and then remembered what he had just said. He gradually guessed what Eaton was referring to.
"Eh?!"
Eaton and Aoba looked at each other. He saw that Aoba had a smile that was not a smile, and he felt even more dizzy.
No way...
Could it be that he had misunderstood?
A big question mark popped up in Eaton's head.
"Aoba."
"What you said just now..."
"Didn't you want me to cheat Sandaime-sama of his trust..."
"And then turn against Sandaime-sama at the critical moment?"
Eaton immediately voiced the doubts in his heart. This was how he understood, and he felt that this was what Aoba meant.
But...
He also felt that this did not seem to be what it meant based on Aoba's expression.
What was going on?
Eaton was completely confused.
He felt that he had become smart, but now it seemed that he had become stupid.
"Of course not..."
Aoba smiled and shook his head. He did not expect that Eaton would think about this. At least when he said these words, he did not think of it. Only when he saw Eaton's expression did he realize that what he had just said could easily cause people to misunderstand.
"I did not mean that at all!"
"You don't need to do that!"
"Brother Eaton."
"You misunderstood!"
A helpless and bitter smile appeared on Aoba's face. He shook his head at the stunned Eaton, indicating that the latter was thinking too much.
This was not a temporary change in Aoba's mind after seeing the change in Eaton's expression, but he really did not have such a plan.
There were many ways to overthrow Hiruzen.
There were also many ways to help Minato become the Hokage.
But no matter what method was used.
Eaton defecting won't affect anything...
This was not because Aoba cared about Eaton's emotion, but because Eaton was not that powerful.
What was the use of defecting...
"Then what you mean is..."
Eaton asked in confusion. He had already vaguely realized that he had been thinking too much about this matter. However, even now, he did not know what to do. He did not have a better answer in his mind.
"I mean it literally. There is no need to over-interpret it. I really just want you to accept what Sandaime-sama gave, this will allow you to start rebuilding the Anbu..."
Aoba immediately explained.
"If you go now and say that you want to support Minato, then before he becomes the Hokage, don't expect Sandaime-sama to help rebuild the Anbu."
"Even if you have a status like the leader of Anbu, there is a possibility that something important will still happen!"
"No one will nurture a person who is not loyal to him."
"That is why I let you accept Sandaime-sama's goodwill. You can even give a little response."
"That's all."
Aoba explained to Eaton. However, his explanation was completely chaotic in Eaton's mind, as if there was no explanation.
"And then?"
Eaton asked with a strange expression. He was still puzzled in his heart. Wasn't he doing this to backstab Hiruzen at the critical moment?
He couldn't think of any other reason.
He didn't know what Aoba was thinking.
He just felt that it was very strange.
For a moment.
The question mark on his head became bigger.
"Hahahahaha!"
When Aoba saw Eaton like this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. He found that when Eaton became serious, it was also quite interesting. It was completely different from the cold and aloof image he had in the past.
"Brother Eaton, have you forgotten your purpose? Don't you just want to rebuild the Anbu?" Aoba said with a smile.
"That's right." Eaton nodded mechanically.
"That's the goal!" Aoba still had a smile on his face.
"Eh?!" Eaton was stunned.
"I'm not wrong, right? If you want to lay your cards on the table with Sandaime-sama, then he won't help you rebuild the Anbu. Then if you want to rebuild the Anbu, then you have to wait until Minato becomes the Hokage. Moreover, this matter is not fixed. If the Hokage is not Minato in the end, then all of your efforts will be wasted." Aoba said.
"Wait, you mean..." Eaton suddenly realized that he might have misunderstood Aoba. Aoba did not seem to have arranged him into a political conspiracy. Instead, he understood that this was a political conspiracy and took advantage of it.
"Of course, you have to take advantage of this opportunity to rebuild the Anbu. I told you from the beginning that we should not interfere in these disputes and use this dispute to rebuild the Anbu. No matter who becomes the Hokage, it has nothing to do with us. We just need to focus on the Anbu." Aoba said lightly. He knew that Minato would definitely become the Hokage, but he had no way to tell Eaton. It was meaningless to say it. No matter what, Anbu needed to be rebuilt. It was better to start rebuilding now. After all, after Minato became the Hokage, there would be a lot of mess. If Anbu could help, he would leave it to Eaton.
"Ah... this..." Eaton instantly understood what Aoba meant. He suddenly knew that he had misunderstood a lot. He immediately blushed and said, "I misunderstood you. I thought that you would do some backhanded means to help Minato fight for the Hokage position..."
"Of course, we should focus on Anbu. Now, there are only the two of us. It is enough to have such a supportive tendency in our hearts. Don't take yourself out. It will not do us any good." Aoba waved his hand. He really did not want Eaton to be too obvious. That way, Minato might notice some clues. As long as it was still in his plan, it was enough. He had already made arrangements for Anbu.
"I understand. Now I really understand. I will not make my position clear and accept all friendly expressions that may help Anbu rebuild. No matter what Konohagakure becomes, Anbu will always be needed." Eaton nodded heavily. After Aoba's reminder, he had already figured it out and completely understood the problem.
"Brother Eaton, now you understand the doubts in your heart, right?" Aoba still had a smile on his face. It could be said that he was helping Eaton sort out the clues bit by bit.
Now, Eaton already knew that the future Hokage might be Minato, and he had accepted the fact that the Hokage was Minato.
But now, there was no need for him to do anything.
As long as the Anbu was rebuilt, it would be fine.
Aoba also didn't want Minato to become the Hokage and find that he didn't even have Anbu left, which would become extremely troublesome.
As for Root.
He could take over in the near future by controlling Danzo's body so that all the dark side forces in Konohagakure would be under Aoba's control.
"I don't have any questions."
Eaton calmly looked at Aoba. He had already figured out all the doubts he had now. Whether his understanding was correct or not, he already had his own understanding of these questions.
This trip.
This trip was not in vain.
It made him understand many things he had never thought of before.
It even carved a perfect opening for his future career as the leader of Anbu.
"Aoba, thank you for helping me analyze the current situation. I already know what to do. There's nothing else. I'm leaving."
Eaton felt much more relaxed. During this process, his mood could be said to be full of twists and turns, as if he had discovered a new continent.
In the beginning, he was excited.
He slowly participated in it and found that it was not so simple. This place was filled with darkness and was completely different from his original imagination.
Finally...
He knew that he had drifted out and should not participate in it. He should do his Anbu's business in peace and his whole body relaxed.
Rebuild the Anbu.
This was the reason why he was looking for Hiruzen.
It was what he wanted to do the most.
After circling around, he returned to his original heart.
He realized what he really wanted to do in his heart.
It was still to rebuild the Anbu.
This made his heart clear and satisfied. He did not have to bother to participate in those intrigues. It was enough to understand these things.
"Wait!"
At this time, Aoba suddenly called out to Eaton. He still had a smile on his face, but the smile became even more strange, revealing an indescribable feeling. That smile seemed to be saying something good was coming.
"Hmm?"
Eaton turned around and immediately met Aoba's gaze. After he saw Aoba's smile, his eyes suddenly widened, and a bright light shot out from his eyes.
"There's a new work?"
"Is that so?"
"Let me take a look!"
Eaton instantly understood the smile on Aoba's face. He changed his attitude and winked at Aoba as if he become a different person.
However.
Aoba understood.
The current Eaton was the real Eaton.
He removed all the disguises.
"To be precise, it's not a new work, but a manga that I drew," Aoba explained.
"Manga?" Eaton was stunned again.
"Don't worry about it for now. You will know after seeing it." Aoba waved at Eaton and immediately called him back.
"Okay!" Eaton instantly smiled. He would not leave so easily after encountering such a good thing. Of course, he had to see what was going on first.
Instantly.
Eaton returned to his seat and sat down again. He stared at Aoba, his eyes flashing.
"This is a work I haven't finished yet. Take a look at it first and then help me contact the publishing house. Or you can take a look at the money I made before. How about we open a publishing house ourselves in the Anbu!"
Aoba took out the manga that he had drawn. He felt that it was a good idea for Anbu to open a publishing house. It would be like buying a printer for yourself. It would be very convenient for anything.
"Okay!"
Eaton nodded repeatedly. He already had some thoughts of opening a publishing house, but he had no way to implement it.
A while ago, when he submitted Aoba's new work to the publishing house, he was forced to line up because the publishing house wanted to squish Teacher Bai for more money.
Now, he was already the leader of Anbu.
He had absolute authority over Anbu's construction.
It wasn't difficult for him to set up a publishing house under Anbu's name, and he could even collect funds from Hiruzen.
Eaton had already thought that when he owned a publishing house, he wouldn't need to share the earnings with the previous publishing house. He could get all the money from publishing Aoba's work.
"Let me see what you got this time."
After Eaton temporarily set aside the publishing house matter in his mind, he immediately picked up the book that Aoba handed over and carefully opened it to the first page.
He had endless expectations for the book that Aoba had given him.
He really had endless expectations.
He had never seen someone as talented as Aoba.
He could actually write so many super exciting plots that make you don't want to stop reading and craving for more.
"Hu..."
The moment Eaton opened the book, he took a deep breath. His eyes immediately focused on the drawing.
This was the image of a female teacher.
There were also words in the surroundings.
One could faintly see that this was a conversation scene.
"Why is this conversation so familiar..."
Eaton was keenly aware that the dialogue on this drawing was exactly the same as the story of Teacher Bai that he had flipped through countless times.
"Could it be..."
"Is she Teacher Bai?"
"Oh my god!"
"Aoba!"
"You are a genius!"
Eaton widened his eyes in surprise. He didn't know what words to use to describe his current mood.
In the past, when he read Teacher Bai's story, it was just a paragraph of text. He then relied on the text to imagine the scenes.
It could be said that the appearance of Teacher Bai which everyone imagined was different.
It was just like a famous saying in the ninja world.
In the eyes of a thousand people, there were a thousand Teacher Bai!
This was the advantage of Teacher Bai's story. Aoba focused on the feeling instead of the specific details.
But.
One or two times was fine.
After a long time.
Some die-hard readers, including Eaton, who frequently read it over and over to satisfy some of their needs, gradually found that they started to feel bored when looking at the text.
At this time, they thought of Jiraiya's work.
He described it in detail.
It was as if they were in a telescope.
What they saw was what they got.
They could use the words to see the scenery that Jiraiya had picked up.
However.
The words were actually words.
No matter how detailed the text was, it could not be regarded as a picture.
However, at this time.
The characters that had already been drawn were so vivid in Eaton's sight. Together with the plot that left him with endless aftertaste, it instantly brought him a new version of the unique experience.
Eaton impatiently flipped to the back.
It was like watching a movie and he couldn't help but want to enter the key point.
But...
He couldn't bear to do so.
He didn't want to waste the perfect foreshadowing in front of him.
The most important thing was...
From the appearance of this book.
There wasn't much content.
The progress bar couldn't hold on!
This made Eaton feel very conflicted. He wanted to hurry up and see the main plot, but he didn't want to miss any of the scenery in the process.
Just like this.
Eaton slowly flipped through the story.
The principal of the ninja school had already stretched out his flexible demonic claw.
But at this time.
The scene came to an abrupt end.
What left him was an endless blank sheet of paper.
"Aoba..."
Eaton's expression changed very strangely. He felt that he was just a little bit short, just a little bit more, but he was suddenly stuck here.
He couldn't go up or down either, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
For a moment.
He felt bad all over.
"Oh, about the latter part, because I haven't been drawing for a long time. I just got here and haven't finished it yet." Aoba explained.
"Then why don't you let me see it after you finish drawing!" Eaton had a strange expression on his face. He looked very uncomfortable.
"I do think so, but it just so happens that Brother Eaton you're here, and you have always liked to watch it first. In addition to this idea, I want Brother Eaton to give some advice. Is it feasible? " Aoba asked with a smile. His smile seemed harmless. In fact, he had already seen the change in Eaton's expression. He had completely grasped it.
"Hu..."
Eaton took a deep breath again. He tried his best to keep his attention here and not think about the missing scene in his mind.
"Yes!"
"Very good!"
"Aoba, hurry up and draw!"
"This manga of yours will make Teacher Bai famous in the ninja world again!"
"People in the ninja world will recognize Teacher Bai as a goddess!"
"Teacher Bai, the goddess of the ninja world!"
Eaton said excitedly. His appetite was really aroused. He wanted to see the content of the following page right now, but he still had to wait for Aoba to update it. This kind of feeling was really too uncomfortable.
