Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer
Chapter 275: Aoba's Showy Operation!"Yes!"
The Advisor immediately took the scroll handed over by the daimyo and carefully put it away. He did not open it at this time.
He had known the daimyo for a long time.
He was very clear about the daimyo's habits.
If it were a mission that allows others to know, then he would not have given you a sealed scroll. Instead, he would have directly given you the mission and explained the contents of the mission to you.
However, when the daimyo gave you a sealed scroll, it meant that it was a secret mission that he did not want others to see. That was, he did not want you to see it read in front of him, nor did he want others to know about it.
"This time, the envoy group is nominally the messenger of Kumogakure, but in reality, they are all Country of Lightning's people. You have to be clear on this point. I will send three staff officers to follow you as the main force of this negotiation. We will strive to stabilize the situation in the Country of Fire and strive to maximize our benefits!" The daimyo said in a deep voice. His tone was unquestionable and dignified. What he said was completely a command.
"Understood!"
The Kumogakure Advisor immediately nodded. He had already realized the seriousness of this matter.
The entire Kumogakure envoy group was composed of daimyo people, and there was no Kumogakure at all.This could be said to be...
The Country of Lightning daimyo took over this matter!
To a certain extent, it was not only to achieve a deeper goal but because he was disappointed with the Kumogakure envoy group's failure last time.
"Go back and communicate with the Raikage, and then go prepare. I will send someone to find you in a while. As the Kumogakure envoy group leader, go to Konohagakure and negotiate with Konohagakure's Third Hokage!" The daimyo directly ordered.
"Yes!"
The Kumogakure Advisor immediately responded. Then, he bowed and left the meeting room in the Country of Lightning's mansion. Then, he returned to Kumogakure and told the Third Raikage about this matter.
The memory of this matter.
Aoba quickly skipped over this memory.
He accurately found the time when Kumogakure Advisor opened the sealed scroll.
The surrounding scenery was in a room surrounded by mist.
This was Kumogakure Advisor's room.
The Kumogakure Advisor stretched out his hands and began to open the sealed scroll.
Line after line of text was reflected in Aoba's eyes.
[Mission 1: Complete the most basic negotiation mission and ensure that you can negotiate with Konohagakure in peace.
Mission 2: Try to save Hari as much as possible. There is no problem in giving up a portion of the price.
Mission 3: Find the whereabouts of Kumogakure's traitor, Gasshi!
Mission 4: Record the specific location of the Hyuga clan in Konohagakure in detail, and draw an easy-to-understand map.
Mission 5: Confirm the state of Konohagakure's Kyuubi Jinchuriki.
Mission 6: Observe the military situation of the Country of Fire and Konohagakure along the way.]
There were a total of six missions.
They were clearly listed on the scroll.
It was the secret mission that Kumogakure Advisor was going to carry out in Konohagakure this time.
After Aoba finished reading it, he suddenly felt bored.
It was just a few missions to check the location of the Hyuga clan and see the state of Kyuubi Jinchuriki.
Even if it were a temporary armistice.
There was still no change in their goal.
In the future, they would still find Konohagakure if there was a chance.
Although these were secret missions written on the scroll, Aoba was actually very clear about it.
Of course.
This was on the premise that he was someone who had transmigrated over.
He had seen Naruto Anime before!
Moreover.
Aoba still understood why the Country of Lightning daimyo wrote this mission on a scroll.
The mission on this scroll, whether it was observing the Hyuga clan and preparing to steal Byakugan or staring at the Kyuubi Jinchuriki, these things was not something that the Country of Lightning daimyo could get on the table.
Aoba slowly opened his eyes. From Kumogakure Advisor's memories, he had already understood the most direct and simple content.
As for the rest of the things.
That was no longer something he needed to look at now urgently.
As he opened his eyes this time.
Aoba saw that some of the ninjas around were starting to get excited.
One by one, they began to look at the corpses in the hands of the other teams, trying to settle some exchange matters.
After all...
Those corpses were all ordinary Kumogakure ninjas and didn't know anything important.
Aoba simply looked at these people and did not say anything. He silently waited for this mission to end.
As Aoba had predicted.
Right now, the hearts of these ninjas were burning with anxiety.
As time went on.
Every team had already read the corpse memories in their hand for a very long time.
Now, no one knew exactly which group would suddenly appear and say that they had discovered something, thus obtaining the opportunity to be promoted.
The more no one stood out.
The more it made everyone nervous.
All of a sudden.
The entire room was filled with an anxious aura.
Of course.
There were still exceptions.
Aoba was an exception.
Whether it was Aoba or Kaze, who was not far away from him, both of them seemed to have no sense of participation as if the mission here had nothing to do with them.
Another period of time passed.
Kaze saw that Aoba had woken up.
After a little hesitation, he slowly moved toward Aoba and came to his side.
"Aoba, who do you think will get the chance to be promoted?" Kaze walked to Aoba's side and asked.
As soon as this was said.
Aoba was stunned for a moment.
He didn't do anything.
It was as if he hadn't heard anything.
He ignored Kaze's question.
When Kaze saw this scene, he couldn't help but blink his eyes. At first, he was waiting for Aoba to give him an answer. After confirming that he had been ignored by Aoba, he was immediately extremely dissatisfied.
No matter what was said.
In the Anbu.
In the Yamanaka clan.
He was only the second-ranked trash!
He was not the most useless person in the clan!
But...
The most useless person in the clan actually ignored him!
It looked as if he hadn't seen him!
This made his heart unable to bear it at all!
"Aoba, who do you think will be promoted?" Kaze asked Aoba again. He didn't want to know the answer. He didn't even want to chat with Aoba. He just wanted to see if Aoba would answer him.
This time.
Aoba turned his face slightly.
The pair of pitch-black eyes looked through the peephole of the cat face mask and directly focused on Kaze's body.
"What does this have to do with me?" Aoba said indifferently.
"You..."
When Kaze heard Aoba say such words again, he was extremely unhappy and wanted to say something unpleasant.
However.
Right at this time.
He suddenly thought of what Yamanaka clan senior, Akira, had told him not far away.
[There can be no disputes and so on here.]
Right now, he really did not intend to read memories, nor did he intend to take this opportunity to be promoted. However, he really could not disturb others. After all, others still wanted this opportunity!
"Hu..."
Kaze immediately adjusted his breathing and took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
"Aoba, actually, I am a little confused. Don't you want to be promoted?" Kaze was too bored waiting here and wanted to chat with Aoba. After all, the only person who could chat with him was Aoba.
"What does it have to do with you?"
Aoba once again used these kinds of words to retort back at Kaze, and then he did not even look at Kaze, completely like a stranger who did not want to get close.
These two sentences were learned by Aoba in the modern world.
It could be said that it was something that could be used to deal with others.
One was "what does it have to do with you", and the other was "what does it have to do with me", which could be used in any place that could trigger a verbal attack.
No matter what the other party said.
As long as he did not want to continue talking to him.
He could say that!
After Aoba said this, he did not pay any more attention to Kaze.
...
Gradually.
A few hours passed.
Almost all the ninjas in the room stopped reading memories and began to exchange corpses with each other.
Now they had no harvest.
They wanted to exchange for other people's corpses to see if there were any other discoveries.
Of course.
The entire process.
There wasn't a single team that came to exchange Aoba's corpse.
Aoba also did not say a word to Kaze.
During this period of time.
Aoba sat in the corner of the room, and Kaze sat next to the corner of the room. The two of them were incompatible with the surrounding environment.
Aoba sat in the corner.
There was no problem when it was early.
But now, it made him feel more and more bored.
If he had known this earlier, he would have set up a shadow clone in advance before coming out.
When he thought about it.
Aoba suddenly took out a book from his ninja pouch.
It was the book that Fugaku had given him.
He quickly opened the book to the middle part. He had already finished half of the book, and the content of the book had reached an extremely wonderful part.
"En..."
Aoba looked at this book. It was currently recording the story of Teacher Bai in the Ninja School. Now that there was nothing to do, he was free and idle. He could write a little more.
He had a faint premonition.
Eaton would surely find and urge him to update when he returned from this matter.
Then.
Aoba took out a pen and started writing on the book under the faint candlelight.
Kaze had been observing Aoba from the side.
When he saw that Aoba was writing, his eyes flashed with doubt.
What was Aoba writing?
A question popped up in Kaze's head. His instinctive reaction was that Aoba was writing something clues he obtained.
But this black skull.
Can you really read and retrieve memories from it?
It can't be...
When Kaze saw Aoba's appearance, suspicion rose in his heart again.
He wanted to go over and see what Aoba was writing.
However, he was afraid that Aoba would scold him again.
He was still not that shameless!
It was fine if he was scolded by others, but if even a famous sickly person like Aoba scolded him, he really could not accept it!
Kaze hesitated for a moment, but he still did not do anything. He chose to continue his salted fish state.
Gradually.
Another hour passed.
Aoba had completely entered the state of writing. The pen in his hand continued to brush across the book. Under the candlelight, the tip of the pen shone with rays of light. It looked like an elf jumping on paper.
In this hour.
Kaze kept staring at Aoba and became a little sleepy.
At this moment.
Kaze shook his head fiercely.
"Could it be that Aoba discovered something on this skull? That's why he ignored me and didn't answer my question about the promotion? Could it be..."
Kaze had a flash of inspiration in his mind at this moment, and this thought suddenly appeared in his mind. As this thought appeared, the feeling in his heart became more and more obvious.
'It can't be!'
'It can't be!'
'Could there really be some secret in this black skull?!'
Thinking of this.
Kaze could no longer suppress the curiosity in his heart. He glanced at Aoba from the corner of his eye and took advantage of the time when Aoba was not paying attention to walk directly toward the corpse on the iron shelf platform.
Soon.
He came to the edge of the iron shelf.
He stood there.
He looked at Aoba again.
After making sure that Aoba did not notice him, he slowly stretched out his hands.
This time.
He discarded all his prejudices.
The face behind the mask suddenly became serious. The thumbs of both hands pressed on the temples of this black skull.
This was not the end.
He placed the remaining four fingers on the skull's cheek.
He put on a different posture compared to the conventional mind-reading secret technique.
This was the key to Kaze being able to enter the Anbu.
He was a member of the Yamanaka clan. Other than the most basic ninjutsu, he could not learn any other ninjutsu. Moreover, in the secret techniques of the entire Yamanaka clan, he could only learn the mind-reading secret technique. He did not even know any other secret technique.
Although he was called trash like Aoba in the clan, his name was still above Aoba. The most important thing was that he had achieved some mastery in the mind-reading secret technique.
For mind reading secret technique.
It was the skill that Kaze was best at.
He could very accurately control the chakra to pour into the brain of the other party, find some parts that others could not find, and then read some key information.
Such a thing.
Kaze had never told anyone about it.
In the past.
He thought everyone was like this.
He was just the most ordinary one among them.
There was even a period of time when he was unable to learn even the easier ninjutsu, causing him to doubt himself. He even thought that he was inferior to the others when it came to reading memories.
Until one day.
Kaze suddenly discovered.
Not everyone was like this.
It turned out that he also had strong points!
He could read the memories to the greatest extent under extremely harsh conditions!
"Let me try!"
Kaze immediately closed his eyes and began to draw extremely detailed chakra from his ten fingers. He began to try to find the contents of the skull carefully.
Originally, he didn't have any expectations.
But.
When he saw that Aoba was writing non-stop, he couldn't help but think.
'Could it be that Aoba was not a complete piece of trash but was hiding some other outstanding ability under his weak body?'
It was precisely because of this.
Kaze decided to give it a try.
If there really was some important information on this black skull, he couldn't let Aoba enjoy this promotion.
Moreover.
Kaze thought he was different from Aoba.
Just now, when they were forming a team, he had already taken in everyone's actions.
Who was the one who was eager to strive for a promotion opportunity?
Who had a deeper desire in their eyes?
Who was betting on their luck just to try?
He looked at every ninja present. He had been trying to get a chance to enter any team.
But...
No team chose him at all.
After the last team formed, he had wondered if he should form a team with the remaining one.
However, when he saw that the remaining person was Aoba, who was completely salted and didn't go to any team at all.
He immediately gave up on this idea.
Forming a team with Aoba.
It was better to be on a team by himself.
There might even be a chance of success!
However.
All of his fantasies.
All of them were broken after seeing the black skull.
Boring!
This mission was boring!
There was no way to be promoted at all!
In fact.
Kaze cherished this opportunity to be promoted.
He wanted to get some help from it.
He had a relatively special ability to read minds. He needed a bigger space to display his talent.
But...
After some time.
He slowly found that things did not seem to be so desperate.
Right now, none of the people who formed the team in the room had obtained any critical information. They had already begun to exchange corpses with each other.
You have to know...
Each team decided to exchange the corpse after digging deep into the corpse's brain.
In that case...
Now that it had come to the step of exchanging corpses.
It meant that there was no more valuable information in those corpses!
But...
Danzo gathered them here.
It couldn't be that there was no problem at all.
If there weren't anything they wanted to discover, it would be impossible to make such a big fuss.
In addition, it was unknown what Aoba was writing over there.
After these things were stacked together.
Kaze was immediately tempted.
He suddenly realized.
Was the opportunity coming?
He absolutely could not let Aoba take this opportunity away from him. Otherwise, he would be very upset.
He also thought that Aoba was very bad and must have discovered something, but he did not say anything.
He absolutely could not let Aoba succeed!
With such a feeling in his heart, Kaze began to pour his chakra into this black skull bit by bit.
He immediately used the Mind-Reading Secret Technique.
He carefully searched for parts of the skull that might have memories.
Gradually.
Kaze began to enter a state of exploration.
This black skull was empty. The hot flames that erupted from the explosive tags directly evaporated Kumogakure Advisor's brain, leaving only a hollowed skull.
Even so.
Kaze still hadn't given up.
Bit by bit, he searched the upper edge of the skull for possible traces.
After all...
Even if the brain was evaporated, maybe there was a trace of neurons left in some place.
This way, he could find some of his memory.
From there, he could obtain a bit of information.
Gradually.
Kaze was immersed in the state of reading memories.
His forehead began to be covered with fine beads of sweat. The sweat soaked the mask and dripped down the bottom of the mask.
At this moment.
Kaze's state attracted Aoba, who was writing a book in the corner.
"Huh?"
Aoba's gaze fell on Kaze. When he saw that Kaze was trying his best to read Kumogakure Advisor's memories, the corner of his mouth behind the mask curled up slightly.
'It's a little interesting.'
'It seemed that this person could still be used!'
Aoba had been waiting for this moment.
Now it was finally here.
He was very sure that the black skull could not provide any memories at all because the brain tissue was completely gone.
However.
He could lend Kaze a hand.
After all, there was still a need for someone to discover some information and provide it to Danzo before the mission here could be completed.
Instantly.
Aoba's wrist shook.
He still maintained the posture of writing, but a black piece of paper floated down from his fingertips.
In fact.
This was not a colored piece of paper.
Instead, it was a piece of paper covered in black seals.
This was a special sealing technique that was able to transmit chakra between the two seals to complete a special communication.
However, this kind of technique had to be closer.
The principle was just like how the voice was transmitted to a certain person's head during the Fourth Ninja World War.
It was just that Aoba's seal was a little crude.
This black piece of paper did not only have this one sealing technique, but there were also a bunch of useless seals that covered the entire piece of paper.
The purpose was very simple.
That was to hide the color of this piece of paper.
It was so that people would not notice.
After the black paper floated out, it immediately began to change shape and turned into a small paper crane.
The moment the paper crane took shape, it flew toward the iron shelf in an extremely fast manner and stuck to the bottom of the iron shelf.
After that.
The paper crane began to adjust its position.
It continued to move under the iron frame until it stopped at the edge of the charred skull.
At the same time.
The paper crane began to break down.
It changed back to the appearance of paper again, sticking to the bottom of the iron frame, waiting silently.
Time ticked by.
Unconsciously.
Kaze had been entangled with the skull for more than half an hour.
His sweat had soaked his clothes.
There was no discovery at all.
The skull's head was completely empty, without even the slightest bit of neurons. No matter how profound his mind-reading secret technique was, there was no way to make any breakthroughs on it.
"Damn it!"
Kaze cursed in his heart. He had gradually begun to realize that this skull could not provide memories. This opportunity was going to be missed by him.
However...
At this time.
Because of the fluctuation in his mood, the chakra on his fingertips also fluctuated.
He couldn't help but probe the bottom of the black skull.
In a split second.
Kaze's mind reading technique's chakra in the black skull collides with the iron frame's surface, just enough for the paper below to receive it.
Such a scene.
This made Aoba's eyes brighten.
This was the moment he had been waiting for.
Suddenly.
Aoba raised his hands and pressed them on his temples. He controlled the chakra on his fingertips to completely protect his brain, leaving only a nerve.
Then.
He communicated with the seal under the iron frame.
He drew out Kaze's chakra.
In an instant.
Kaze's chakra attacked the only nerve he had revealed.
"Ding Dong! The system has detected the invasion of external forces. The automatic protection program has been activated. Part of the host's memory fragments has entered a state of isolation!"
A crisp electronic prompt immediately sounded in Aoba's mind.
At the same time.
His brain entered a special state.
It could display any memory fragment to the person who reads his memories. That was Kaze, who was about to fall into a state of self-doubt.
"So it could really be done like this!"
A hint of excitement appeared on Aoba's face behind the mask. When he saw this sealing technique, he had thought of this kind of operation. However, it was only at the stage of theory. He was not sure if he could really do it.
Now, it was a good time to try it out.
It was a success base on the system notification!
It proved his previous assumption.
Then...
Aoba suddenly had an even more exciting idea. Could he read other people's memories using reverse operation?
For example...
Putting a piece of paper in someone else's hat.
Aoba decided to find an opportunity in the future to try this method, connecting the chakra in the right hand to the paper on the opposite head. If the memory reading can be completed, then there was no need to repeat the action of him raising his hand and slapping a person's head in the future.
However, this was something that he would slowly try in the future.
As for now...
Aoba directly played a wonderful memory fragment of Kumogakure Advisor to Kaze.
Of course.
This was not the original complete memory.
It was the memory that had been edited and processed by Aoba.
The purpose was to reveal what he wanted to reveal to Kaze and then use Kaze's mouth to tell Danzo!
