Chapter 439: The Commander of Konohagakure Ninja Army!
Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer Chapter 439 The Commander of Konohagakure Ninja Army!
After saying this, Aoba no longer cared about these things and had no intention of continuing on this topic.
Teuchi looked at Aoba, who was eating ramen not far away, and nodded silently. He seemed to understand some of the reasons.
"Aoba, I have another question. You have to answer me..."
Teuchi did not continue to dwell on the previous topic.
"Will Minato really come back after the war breaks out?"
Teuchi asked doubtfully. He shifted the topic to Minato. This was what he was most concerned about at the moment, and also the most important thing for him to find Aoba.
In his heart, he believed Aoba's words.
He understood that as long as Minato appear on the battlefield, the battle would end.
But...
The problem was very obvious.
When would Minato return?
This was a very important question that Teuchi was concerned about.
"Brother Teuchi, I have a very strong feeling that it won't be long before Minato returns. He will definitely come back before the war ends!"
Aoba said slowly.
He was still very confident in Minato.
After all, in the original story, Minato had already learned the Sage Mode, but he was not so proficient in it. In terms of battery life, it was not very good.
But...
Even if the battery life was not enough and it was not durable enough, the short burst was still there!
Aoba vaguely felt that Minato had already mastered the Sage Mode, but the turmoil in the ninja world was not so strong that Minato was not in a hurry to come out, and still continued to practice in Mount Myoboku.
Because of this.
Aoba judged that Minato was still practicing in Mount Myoboku, waiting for the war to break out at any time. As long as the war began, Minato would return and come to the battlefield.
That was why Aoba wanted to do his best to stir up trouble so that the war could develop quickly and become more and more intense.
"I am relieved that you are sure." Teuchi nodded. He said that he was relieved, but it seemed that he was still a little worried. He was not in a good mood.
"Brother Teuchi, don't worry. This war won't affect our Konohagakure much. The war won't spread to the village," Aoba comforted Teuchi.
"I know." Teuchi nodded heavily.
After the two of them chatted for a while, Aoba finished the ramen in front of him.
"Aoba, there's nothing else. I'll go back first. Come and eat ramen when you have nothing to do."
After giving a reminder, Teuchi left Aoba's dormitory, restoring peace to the place.
"Looks like the war is about to begin!"
Aoba sighed silently. These past few days, he had already felt a sense of impending doom. Coupled with the work he had done earlier, this made him very clear that it was basically just one or two days at most.
This was in line with his expectations.
The development of the war he had hoped for was like this.
Everything went smoothly.
After that.
Aoba laid back on the iron bed and slowly closed his eyes. He did not want to go out during this period of time. He just waited here silently for the war to begin.
Gradually.
Aoba fell asleep.
After all, it was dark here and he had nothing to do, so it was easy for him to fall asleep.
Dong Dong Dong...
After an unknown period of time.
There was another knock on the door.
"???"
Aoba slowly opened his sleepy eyes and looked in the direction of the dormitory door.
What happened these days?!
In the past, no one would come to his room, but recently, there had been many people coming over.
These few days, there seemed to be more people coming than he had stayed in his dormitory room.
"Coming."
Aoba did not know who was knocking on the door, but he still quickly walked toward the door.
Creak...
Along with the friction of the door and door frame, the room door was opened. What entered Aoba's eyes were two young girls.
These two young girls were Saki and Rin.
"Why are you here?"
When Aoba saw the two girls, he could not hide his frown. His gaze fell on the two of them. After what happened earlier, his impression of the two girls was not good, and he was not willing to have more in-depth communication with them.
"Aoba, we have thought about it for a long time. There are still some things we want to say to you..." Saki took a step forward. She looked at Aoba with a complicated expression, and her voice was solemn.
"You better not say anything more."
Aoba directly shook his head and interrupted Saki. Since the Chunin Exams ended, he had no more good feelings for these two girls, Nara Saki and Akimichi Rin.
"For me, the Chunin Exams have already ended, and there will be no more intersection between us. What you think of me is your own business. It has nothing to do with me."
Aoba's tone was indifferent. He did not want to talk to them at all, especially when the two girls sent Kaze to read his memories. These things had touched the part that he was unhappy about.
It was those prejudice that made him deeply aware of the special arrogant feeling produced in a clan like Ino-Shika-Cho.
Now, he had already left the scope of the Chunin Exams.
Then, he no longer cared about this sort of thing.
However, he also didn't want to have any more interactions with the two girls. To him, this was something completely meaningless.
"You..."
When Saki heard Aoba's cold words, the expression of guilt on her face suddenly changed. She originally felt that she had wronged Aoba and wanted to apologize to him. However, after Aoba said that, she suddenly felt a sense of anger.
"You look fine!"
"We heard that you went to the battlefield. We were quite worried. We were afraid that something would happen to you!"
"But thinking about it..."
"Since you can come back, it means that you are fine!"
"It seems that we are worried too much!"
Saki said in a bad mood. Even she did not know why she became like this while talking. She had originally come to care about Aoba, but her mood suddenly rose. She could not control it at all.
Rin, who was standing at the side, saw the change in Saki's mood. Her eyes flashed with worry.
At this moment, she suddenly discovered that Saki was actually a knife mouth tofu heart.
She was very clear about this point!
Although Rin did not say anything and usually did not express any opinions, completely focusing on Saki's opinion, it did not mean that she did not have the ability to think. She still saw many things.
For example, they came here to look for Aoba.
It was completely Saki's idea.
In fact.
When Aoba rushed to the frontline battlefield together with the other Anbu, the two of them had come here to find Aoba.
At that time, the two of them did not know Aoba's specific room.
Of course.
It was useless even if he knew.
Because Anbu's dormitory was already empty.
There was no trace of Aoba at all.
After that.
They also went to Ramen Ichiraku, chatted about Aoba with Teuchi, and talked with Fugaku about Aoba.
At that time.
Rin knew that Saki had been looking for a time to apologize.
Yet they could only wait for Aoba to return from the battlefield.
But...
Good times did not last long.
Just a few days ago.
The two of them heard a piece of bad news.
That was, the Sensory Ninjas that went to Iwagakure's battlefield were almost completely wiped out!
One had to know that among these Sensory Ninjas, there were many ninjas from their three major clans, especially Yamanaka's.
At that time.
They thought that all the ninjas Aoba went with died on the battlefield.
Their mood had been very low.
However.
It didn't take long for their mood to turn around.
The two of them were shocked to find that Aoba was one of the two people who had survived the battle.
Such a thing shocked Saki greatly. After struggling in her heart for a few days, she decided to come here and see Aoba personally. She wanted to apologize to Aoba for what had happened earlier and shared the story of them becoming Chunin with Aoba.
But...
After seeing Aoba's cold and indifferent appearance, Saki thought of the worries she had for Aoba in the past few days. She immediately felt that her kindness was ill-intended, so she was very unhappy.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
The more she thought about it, the more unbalanced she felt.
In the end, she couldn't help but say a lot of rude words.
Rin heard all of this. She was very clear about the matter with Saki. At the same time, she also knows that what Saki said was not really what she had in her heart. However, she couldn't explain why things ended up like this.
"I'm fine."
Aoba nodded indifferently. His entire body gave off a feeling of being a thousand miles away. Right now, he simply didn't want to have any more interactions with these two girls.
"If there is nothing else, you can leave. I need to rest."
Aoba directly issued the order to evict the guest. After the previous contact with these two girls, he understood that as long as he had a relationship with the two of them, he would be contaminated with much karma that should not have appeared. He would attract the attention of even more people.
This was not what he wanted!
"You..."
Saki did not expect Aoba to be so heartless. She came here personally to show her concern. However, before she could say anything, she was coldly rejected. How could she endure this?
"Don't go too far!"
"We came here especially to see you!"
"I'm not here to see your face!"
"How can you not know what's good and what's wrong?"
Saki's face turned red. She shook her hands and put her hands on her hips. She looked like she was really angry. After that, she suddenly grabbed Rin beside her and pulled her toward the exit.
"Rin, let's go. He is not worthy for us to care about him!"
Saki was angry, but after she pulled Rin over, she found that Aoba did not stop her.
If she wanted to turn back now, she had to lower her proud head.
But she was not willing to do so!
Now that she had already walked out, she was in a state where she had no choice but to release the arrow. She braced herself and continued to walk out, completely ignoring Aoba.
Gradually.
Saki pulled Rin away.
Bang!
Just as the two of them walked a few steps, they heard the heavy door close. It was as if a door had been welded to death. It could be seen that the other party did not want them to go back.
"Humph!"
Saki snorted again. Her heart which had been hesitating just now suddenly became even angrier. Her footsteps became faster and she directly walked out of the Anbu dormitory.
"Saki..."
Rin looked at Saki and felt a little distressed for no reason. She knew that Saki did not want this to happen, but after things had reached this point, it had developed toward the wrong place.
...
After Aoba closed the door again, he shook his head silently. He knew that he was a bit ruthless in doing this, but if he did not do it, it might bring a little hope to the two girls.
He did not mind them apologizing.
He didn't mind forgiving them.
But after what happened earlier, he didn't want to have any more interactions with these two girls.
After that.
Aoba returned to his original state.
This time, he was not disturbed again.
...
At the same time.
Konohagakure.
During this period of time, the village had been in a state of tranquility, but this kind of tranquility did not make people feel comfortable but uneasy.
Hokage Building.
Konohagakure's Jonin and some of the Chunin had already gathered here. They were all dressed in Konohagakure's ninja clothes and looked quite imposing.
In front of these ninjas.
Standing was the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was wearing the Hokage robe.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Hiruzen cleared his throat and pulled everyone's attention to him. After that, he swept his gaze over every ninja.
"Today, I have gathered everyone here. I think you have already guessed what is going on!"
"That's right!"
"It's the war with Iwagakure!"
"Not long ago, Iwagakure suddenly attacked the border. Our Anbu ninja team was almost completely wiped out!"
"This kind of thing is simply intolerable!"
"Right now, Iwagakure ninjas are still restless. They are expected to arrive at the border soon. We must give a strong counterattack!"
Hiruzen paused and his gaze fell on a silver-haired man wearing a half-sleeve Hokage robe.
"Hatake Sakumo!" Hiruzen immediately called out to Hatake Sakumo.
"Yes!" Hatake Sakumo immediately replied.
"Now, as the Hokage, I order you to become the commander of Konohagakure's ninja army. You will lead Konohagakure ninjas in a full-scale war with Iwagakure. We must achieve a comprehensive victory in this war!" Hiruzen said seriously. He had already thought it through. Instead of worrying about Hatake Sakumo, he should worry about the current situation first and deal with the crisis outside.
"Yes!" Hatake Sakumo immediately nodded. His face was full of strong confidence, and his eyes were flashing with determination.
