In Obito's opinion, even if he gives the Kirigakure swords to Aoba, it would just be a waste. And there's no way Aoba could explain the origin of the ninja sword, and then he would be hunted by Kirigakure's people. In the end, he might even be killed.
These were not alarmist talk but real and likely things that would happen!
Therefore, Obito refused Aoba's request without hesitation, and then the questioning made him speechless.
Although Aoba really wanted to say that he was here to collect it and would not reveal it in front of outsiders, it was contradictory to what he had said before.
Moreover, the bullshit reason of 'collecting' did not make sense!
If he really said that, Obito would knock his head open and see if it was filled with miso!
Aoba was instantly depressed. He originally thought that this special task was not difficult. After all, he had a big and thick leg like Obito.
However, it was obvious that Big Thick Legs was not so easy to hug, especially when his lame excuse was not convincing at all.
If he continued to persist, it might arouse Obito's suspicion.
He had no choice but to give up on Obito temporarily.
However, what he never expected was that he had actually been robbed of his chance by his own alternate account.
Not long, Obito left.
Only Aoba was left alone, frowning and thinking about how to deal with the situation if something unexpected happened tomorrow.
The next morning, Aoba went straight to Gekkou's house.
He wasn't sure how much influence the person who had disappeared last night would have, but for the sake of safety, it was better to leave this place first.
His caution was right!
Because not long after he left, the Root members who had come to change shifts had already discovered that someone had lost contact, and after finding no results, they decisively reported it to Danzo.
Then, the others began to monitor Shinomiya Aoba again.
However, this time, the person responsible for monitoring Shinomiya Aoba was obviously more vigilant!
Before they were sure of the real reason for the disappearance of the member, their first suspicion was, of course, Shinomiya Aoba!
They thought that they would not repeat the same mistakes, so they all raised their cautious to 120%
In this regard, although Aoba was ignorant of any of this, he had also started to be on guard.
…..
After casually giving Gekkou Hayate a few pointers, Aoba, who had finished his entire day of training, hesitated for a bit but still chose to leave.
The safest course of action was naturally to take advantage of the opportunity to stay at Hayate's house.
But if he did this, it would undoubtedly bring trouble. Moreover, he had just had an accident last night, and he did not dare to go back to his house today. Wouldn't it just prove that he hid something?
So even if he knew that there would be a danger, he could only wait for the time being and try to muddle through.
However, he still overestimated the integrity of some people.
Under the reflection of the moonlight, Aoba was walking alone in the alley. His shadow was elongated by the moonlight.
Suddenly, two masked figures sandwiched him in the middle.
"Shinomiya Aoba, Lord Danzo invites you over to ask questions."
Hehe, Danzoreally can't wait!
The corners of Aoba's mouth curled up slightly, and a trace of ridicule appeared on his face.
The matter that he wasn't 100% sure about before could now be said to be solid!
All of this was indeed done by Danzo in secret!
"It's already so late. Why did Lord Danzo summon me?" Aoba pretended to be confused.
"When you meet Danzo-sama, you will naturally know everything. Let's go with us." The root member with the blue pattern mask on his face said. He seemed not to put Aoba in his eyes at all. After all, he was just a little Genin. How could he dare to disobey Lord Danzo's orders?
In fact, Aoba really dared!
"Sorry, I'm already very tired after practicing for a day. So if it's not a serious matter, I'll talk about it after I go to see Lord Hokage tomorrow."
The two members of Root were secretly angry, "This is not up to you! Just last night, a member of Root went missing near your home. It is very likely that he has been killed! We suspect that this matter is related to you. If you refuse to cooperate, we have the right to arrest you on the spot and kill you!"
"Huo! What is this? You have no proof! With your empty words, you can pin such a big accusation on me, a little Genin. If I don't cooperate, you will kill me? Is this how you do things? Do you not even care about Hokage-sama?"
Aoba said in a mocking tone.
At the same time, through [Eye Of Perception]'s feedback, he already knew the number of enemies he had.
In addition to the two in front of him, there were two hidden nearby. They were probably prepared to act directly if these two people failed.
Four Root members surrounding and killing a Genin was probably a very easy thing to do in Danzo's eyes.
This was also considering the possible changes that might occur. In order to prepare for the two kills in one strike, he had to fight quickly and not cause any disturbance!
However, Danzo, who did not know much about Aoba's true strength, still underestimated him too much.
The remaining two intermediate-level skill cards were immediately used on [Busoshoku Haki], instantly upgrading it to Level 6!
F*ck!
Do you want to kill me?
With Level 8 [Hardening]and Level 6 [Busoshoku Haki], let me see you try!
Aoba was already prepared to explode at any time!
"It seems that you are ready to fight to the end. But it doesn't matter; it is the same as handing over your body to Danzo-sama, do it!"
Before he finished speaking, countless insects drilled out of his body and immediately flew towards Aoba.
"Aburame Clan"
Aoba was shocked and did not dare to be careless. He immediately transformed into Flesh Escape Ninja and used [Hardening] and [Busoshoku Haki] to protect himself.
"It's useless. We are already familiar with your information. Although this Kekkei Genkai of yours is indeed outstanding in defense, any defense is useless against my iron devouring bug!"
The bug of Aburame's clan was not simply released to disgust people!
One had to know that the core of the parasite was to cultivate it!
The direction of cultivation was different, and there would be different types of bugs.
Some of the members of Aburame's clan were good at using poisonous insects, some were good at controlling the bugs to destroy the body, some were good at swallowing chakra, and some were good at investigating.
The root members of Aburame's clan had cultivated the bug's devouring ability to an extremely terrifying level!
The bugs that fed all kinds of metals all year round could devour all the hard materials in front of them in just a few seconds!
It was also the main reason why Danzo sent him to lead the team to complete this mission!
