Chapter 249: The Third Kazekage
Aoba did not immediately leave Konohagakure Intelligence Division's compartment. He sat on the small stool again and slowly closed his eyes, carefully checking the details of what happened in the past.
After passing Danzo's verification, the two advanced paper clones successfully infiltrated the Roots.
After this day of time.
The two of them tried their best to conceal themselves as much as possible, exploring the blank area of Root.
Finally, in a stone room at the bottom of Root Base, he found several Root ninjas guarding it.
Through the faint light.
He could faintly hear some sounds.
From this, he determined that this was the place where Hari was imprisoned.
Of course.
The two also conducted a new round of verification.
One of the advanced paper clones had left a black circle pattern on the wall not far away. It was the Flying Thunder God Formula.
After he was done with the Flying Thunder God Formula, he directly canceled the shadow clone and let out an explosive sound.
"Bang!"
Along with this sound, the guards at the base all looked over.
They just happened to see a person walking toward them.
This person wore a mask and had a thin figure. From his clothes, it was easy to recognize that this was Danzo's new right-hand man, Yamanaka Akira.
"How is he?"
Akira asked indifferently. When he spoke, the eyes from the mask looked in the direction of the stone room. From his appearance, it was obvious that he was asking the person inside.
"He is all right."
One of the Root ninjas immediately replied. He had not figured out why Akira came to ask, but he had instinctively taken Akira's question as Danzo-sama's question.
As soon as this person answered.
Aoba's advanced paper clone understood.
The person imprisoned in this stone room was Hari.
Just this answer alone can confirm it.
However.
Aoba's advanced paper clone felt that it was necessary to further verify it.
Then.
He nodded to this Root ninja.
"Danzo-sama asked me to tell you that Kumogakure's envoy group is coming. We have to strengthen our guard during this period of time!" Aoba's advanced paper clone imitated Akira's tone.
"Yes."
These Root ninjas nodded at the same time.
This time.
Aoba's advanced paper clone was completely certain.
The person imprisoned in this stone room was Hari.
After that.
Aoba's advanced paper clone turned around and left.
In fact.
These few Root ninjas had a little doubt in their hearts.
Didn't Danzo-sama come over yesterday to personally explain?
Why did he send Akira over again?
However.
As a Root ninja.
They had long understood that they should not ask too much.
Just like this.
This matter was over.
The advanced paper clone, who had become Akira, immediately removed the shadow clone after leaving the corridor.
It was at that time.
Aoba, who was in Konohagakure Intelligence Division's compartment, received the two pieces of information that flooded into his mind one after another.
"Now that I have Hari's position, everything has become much simpler."
Aoba walked out of Konohagakure Intelligence Division's compartment and headed back to Anbu's dormitory.
One more day.
It was the time when Kumogakure's envoy group would come to Konohagakure again.
It was the time for the Third Ninja World War to officially break out.
Aoba returned to Anbu's dormitory.
He changed out his Anbu's ninja outfit and took off his cat face mask.
To outsiders, these things seemed to hide their identities, but after his title became famous, it could be said that it exposed his identity.
Aoba changed into a casual outfit.
He did not immediately return to the tower but walked in the direction of Ramen Ichiraku.
There was still a little bit of time until the next step.
He was hungry.
He could also chat with Teuchi.
It was just that...
When Aoba just walked out of Anbu's dormitory, he coincidentally met Eaton who was looking for him.
"Aoba, are you going out?"
Eaton stared at Aoba doubtfully. As he spoke, he quickly walked in front of Aoba.
"Er... I want to eat a bowl of ramen." Aoba did not expect to meet Eaton at this time. Logically speaking, he had already given Eaton enough chapters. There was no reason for him to rush the update so quickly.
"Have you forgotten what I told you?"
Eaton frowned and pretended to be angry. However, he was not really angry. Instead, he walked to Aoba's side and raised his right hand to pat Aoba's shoulder. However, he still took it back when he lifted it into the air.
"Aoba, it is very dangerous outside now. Every village has different thoughts. Things are far more dangerous than you think. If there is nothing else, don't go out during this period of time." Eaton said meaningfully. His tone was like that of an old father.
"Brother Eaton, do you know something?" Aoba stared at Eaton and asked. He vaguely felt that there was something in Eaton's words, but he did not completely explain them.
"Actually, it's fine if I tell you, but you know that you have to promise me in the future. Stay in Konohagakure Intelligence Division for this period of time and don't go anywhere." Eaton said with a serious face. This time, he was not rushing or joking. In his opinion, since Aoba was in Konohagakure Intelligence Division. He had the responsibility to take care of Aoba's safety. If something happened to Aoba, he had no way to explain it to Tsunade-sama.
"Well, I won't go out. Brother Eaton, you can say it." Aoba nodded. He knew it when he saw Eaton's expression. No matter what he said or whether he listened, Eaton would not allow him to go out. There was no need to go against Eaton's words at this critical moment.
Eaton stared at Aoba, his eyes flashing with relief.
Very good, very good!
The reason why he had always liked Aoba was because Aoba was very obedient.
Right now, he was only revealing a little bit of information.
This was nothing at all.
In a few days, Aoba would naturally know.
In addition, Aoba had promised him that he would not leave Konohagakure Intelligence Division, and Aoba had always been very tight-lipped, so there was no need to worry about the possibility of revealing the information.
"Aoba, the matter is like this. The day after tomorrow, Kumogakure's envoy group will come to our Konohagakure again. The purpose of this visit is to carry out a peaceful negotiation."
Eaton told Aoba what Aoba already knew.
Speaking of this.
His voice was slightly slow.
His tone paused for a moment.
"According to the intelligence obtained by Konohagakure Intelligence Division, many forces in the ninja world do not wish for us, Konohagakure, to successfully negotiate with Kumogakure. Therefore, in the recent period of time, Konohagakure will become the focus of the entire ninja world. Not only will there be people from other villages sneaking into Konohagakure to do some things, but the spies in the village have already begun to stir. Relatively speaking, it is still very dangerous. We need to face it carefully!"
Eaton said in a low voice. As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Aoba. He wanted to see a reaction on Aoba's face.
Only...
Aoba's expression did not change much.
This was not something that could be faked.
All along.
Aoba always acted like this in front of Eaton.
"Brother Eaton, I understand. I won't go out for this period of time. If I have nothing to do, I will update the book quietly." Aoba suddenly grinned. He stared at Eaton and asked, "When will you be able to return my book to me?"
"Hehehe, what a coincidence. I brought it over for you." Eaton smiled as well. Then, he reached into his bosom and took out a book. It was the book that Fugaku had given Aoba.
After that.
Eaton handed the book to Aoba.
"If you have any inspiration during this period of time, you can write more."
Eaton said meaningfully. Anyway, he just didn't want to say that the number was not good enough.
"Okay."
Aoba took the book that Eaton handed over and nodded at Eaton.
He could feel it.
Eaton was indeed worried that something would happen to him.
Even though he did not think that the spies from Sunagakure would attack him.
However, it was always a good thing to take precautions.
Eaton did not know Aoba's true strength. To be able to do this was already very good.
"Brother Eaton, I understand everything you told me. If there is nothing else, I will go back to the dormitory to write." Aoba said to Eaton.
"Go quickly!"
Eaton waved at Aoba with a smile on his face. He was obviously very supportive of Aoba going back to the dormitory to write.
Then.
Aoba turned back.
This time, he understood that something had already happened.
The village had already realized that there might be a crisis.
At the very least, people at the level of Eaton had already realized this matter.
Aoba returned to the dormitory and closed the door. He understood that it was almost impossible for him to leave with his identity.
"Then wait here for the news."
Aoba sat at the table in the dormitory. He opened the book he had just picked up and found the part where he had written the latest chapter. He first looked back at the content in front of him and then began to write the story behind with a pen.
Sha sha sha...
The sound of the pen tip rubbing against paper kept ringing in the room.
Gradually.
Time ticked by.
All of a sudden.
The pen in Aoba's hand stopped.
At this moment, he was in a trance.
Then, he quickly returned to normal.
"Everything is ready!"
Aoba clearly felt that at this moment, all the shadow clones he sent out to carry out the mission had returned to his body.
First, there were two shadow clones that had turned into Sunagakure's spy to buy things, then two shadow clones turned into Root ninja to find Hari at Root Base, and then two shadow clones turned into Root Ninja to find Orochimaru for the Corpse Dissolving Water.
Apart from this.
There were only four people left.
Three of them turned into Root ninjas and went to the Country of Rain to find Hanzo.
The last clone has now come back into his body.
Then.
Aoba made a series of hand seals.
He immediately cast Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique).
A person who looked exactly like him directly appeared in Anbu's dormitory.
"Continue writing here."
After Aoba instructed the shadow clone, he used his perception to communicate with the Flying Thunder God Formula on the tower. Then, he used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) and instantly appeared on the third level of the tower.
At this moment.
On the third level of the tower, there were two Root ninjas and a shadow clone monitoring this place.
"Come back."
Aoba said to the shadow clone. After that's shadow clone made an explosion sound, and it directly turned into pieces of information, drilling into his body.
All the information about the third floor this day appeared in Aoba's head.
"Tomorrow night is the time for you to climb up."
Aoba's gaze fell on the two Root ninjas who were suppressed by the seal. The breathing of these two people was still balanced, but the energy of their bodies was obviously extremely insufficient.
The past few days had passed.
Even though the two of them were in a state of sleep, they still consumed a lot of energy.
After all, they had not eaten for a long time.
However.
Aoba had no intention of giving them food at all.
They were all dead anyway.
Even if they starved to death, it was nothing.
Then.
Aoba walked toward the dojo on the first floor of the tower.
When he arrived at the dojo on the first floor.
The shadow clone inside was currently practicing water release ninjutsu from the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu.
His control over water release ninjutsu had reached a very high level.
Apart from those extremely difficult water release ninjutsu, he had more or less mastered the rest.
This was not only because the system had helped Aoba increase his body's innate talent, but also because of Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique)'s continuous practice to shorten the time.
Most importantly, the records on Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu were too detailed.
This was simply a guidebook for idiots.
Tobirama was afraid that the person who got the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu would not be able to learn these things.
Aoba could understand Tobirama's feelings. It was like a scientist invented something and still hoped to pass it on to future generations.
Of course.
All copyrights.
It was still necessary to mark it as an original of Senju Tobirama!
"Come back."
Aoba nodded at these shadow clones. Although these shadow clones had not completely learned all the water release ninjutsu on the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu, they had already mastered the basics.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
All of a sudden.
A series of explosions rang out.
Accompanied by these sounds.
The shadow clones on the first floor of the tower all disappeared and returned to Aoba's body one after another.
At this time.
Only Aoba was left in the dojo.
The memories of water release ninjutsu flooded into Aoba's soul.
"I won't practice anymore!"
After Aoba took back all these shadow clones, he immediately made up his mind. He raised his hands, crossed his fingers in front of him, and made a hand seal gesture of Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique).
"Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique)."
Aoba's faint voice sounded, and one shadow clone after another appeared in front of him.
"Everyone, draw up an explosive tag for me now. You have to draw as many as you can. The more, the better. Draw it overnight until I take you back tomorrow!"
Aoba said to these shadow clones.
In fact.
He didn't need to take back those shadow clones just now.
If he let those shadow clones continue to draw an explosive tag, they could still do it.
However, Aoba needed to take back the information first, bring the water release ninjutsu that they had already mastered into his memory, and then arrange the shadow clone which was full of chakra.
"Yes!"
These shadow clones responded at the same time. Blank paper tags appeared in their hands, and they began to make explosive tags.
Aoba nodded with satisfaction.
Then.
He used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique).
His figure disappeared in a flash.
He directly returned to Anbu's dormitory.
...
The long and quiet night passed just like that.
The entire Konohagakure was in peace.
Except for a small number of people.
Most of the people in the village did not know what the current situation was like.
Only...
Compared to Konohagakure's peace.
The other villages in the ninja world seemed to be in a hurry.
...
Country of Wind, Sunagakure.
The Third Kazekage personally led Sunagakure's elite ninja team and quietly moved toward the borders of the Country of Fire.
These people passed through the edge of the desert at an extremely fast speed and entered the lush forest.
"This is the border of the Country of Fire. Please stop!"
Suddenly.
Four ninjas with Konohagakure's forehead protector on their heads suddenly appeared.
They stood on the branches and looked coldly at Sunagakure ninjas in front of them. An ominous premonition appeared on their faces.
"We are in charge of stopping them. Quickly report to the station!" The captain, who was among Konoha ninjas, whispered to the ninja beside him.
"Yes!" The Konoha ninja nodded and prepared to leave.
"It's too late!"
However, at this time, a low voice sounded.
At the same time.
The forest shook gently.
Black iron sand flew out like a swarm of bees, sweeping through the woods where the four Konoha ninjas were.
"None of you will get out alive."
The black iron sand became denser and denser, forming sharp needles in the air. The direction of the needles was all aimed at the four Konoha ninjas.
"Not good!"
"This is iron sand..."
"Magnet Release Bloodline Limit..."
The captain of Konoha's ninja team suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the man who was covered in black iron sand on Sunagakure's side.
The man was wearing a white cloak with a blue robe inside. The color was similar to his blue hair, and his pupils were filled with indifference.
"This is..."
The breathing of Konoha's ninja team captain suddenly became rapid. He had already realized what level of opponent they were facing.
"Third Kazekage!"
As the team captain cried out in alarm, the expressions of the other three people on the team became ugly. They all understood that the current situation could be said to be ominous for them.
