Aoba could make a simple judgment based on the degree of decay here. According to his understanding of Orochimaru, even if this person looked a bit disgusting, he would not make the place he worked in look messy.

There was no iron shelve in this room.

Then it could be said that those iron shelves were installed by Orochimaru, and the purpose was to extract the internal organs of those corpses and then conduct research on ninjutsu.

But...

Don't these people need to be studied?

A big question mark appeared on Aoba's head. Along with this question mark, he thought of a possibility that even he didn't dare to think too hard.

The identities of these people...

Perhaps it was not that simple!

Aoba walked over to the corpses. He planned to do a simple examination of them.

After all, he was a medical ninja. He had accumulated a lot of practical experience through those prisoners. Moreover, he also had Tsunade's memories. Through studying Tsunade's memories, he gained a lot of medical knowledge.

This knowledge provided him with support, but he never expected he would use medical ninjutsu in such a situation.

Then, Aoba pressed his right hand on the wrist of one of the corpses.

Just as his fingers touched the skin of the corpse, the skin seemed to turn into dust and instantly turned into fine powder. Even flesh disappeared as if it had been weathered.

"Huh?"

Aoba was stunned. He had never thought that such a scene would happen. It was completely like a dried corpse, leaving only eerie white bones.

After that, he raised his finger and poked at the other corpse. The moment his finger touched the corpse, the skin of the corpse instantly turned into dust.

This stunned Aoba.

"Is this weathering?"

The corners of Aoba's mouth twitched. According to normal logic, these people were left in this place all day long without sunlight. Even if they were in a state of decay, it would be impossible for them to become like this. This was a bit too exaggerated.

There was definitely a problem here!

Moreover, this problem. It should be the reason why these people were thrown here.

Aoba looked at the other corpses. This time, he did not make a move. He only checked them with his naked eyes.

These corpses had a normal appearance on their surfaces, but they seemed to be a little dry and had the feeling of turning into dry corpses.

But...

The dried corpses wouldn't collapse with just a touch!

This was obviously still in its original appearance, but its interior was completely weathered.

From the appearance, the internal organs of these corpses hadn't been processed in the later stages.

In other words...

They were thrown here after their deaths. No one ever touches them again. Otherwise, they would have been turned into dust.

"It seems that if I want to know their identities, I have to read their memories."

Aoba slowly breathed a sigh of relief. He originally wanted to try to use the medical ninjutsu he had learned to simply check if the corpses of these people had been treated. He did not expect that, in the end, he still came to a general conclusion in a visual estimation. He still needed to read the memories.

Then, Aoba stretched out his right hand and touched the skull of the skeleton in front of him, whose skin he had punctured.

Hum!

A strange fluctuation suddenly appeared on Aoba's palm, and then a crisp electronic prompt sounded in his head.

"Ding Dong! Memory Reading Succesful! Obtained: Hijutsu: Kikaichu(Secret Technique: Parasitic Insects)!"

Along with the crisp electronic prompt. A secret technique appeared in Aoba's mind.

Only...

This secret technique could not be used directly. He needed to sign a contract with insects and give his own chakra to the insects so that his body could become the insect's nest.

"????"

When Aoba saw the reward given by the system, he was dumbfounded and did not know what to say.

'What the hell is this?!'

'System?!'

'What makes you think I can practice this thing? !'

Aoba never thought that he would obtain such a secret technique. Of course, he definitely would not use this secret technique. The insect itself made him feel extremely disgusted, not to mention transforming his body into a place that could provide the insect with chakra.

'Is this a joke?!'

Aoba did not even think about this technique. He had obtained many ninjutsu through the Mind Reading System. This was just the most insignificant one.

He could completely forget about it!

After that, Aoba did not immediately check this person's memories. Instead, he raised his right hand and touched the other corpses.

Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum!

The skin of every corpse that Aoba had touched would instantly turn into powder, directly shattering into dust. In the end, only the ghastly white bones remained.

There was no exception.

"Ding Dong! Memory Reading Succesful! Obtained: Hijutsu: Mushi Bunshin(Secret Technique: Insect Clone)!"

"Ding Dong! Memory Reading Succesful! Obtained: Hijutsu: Mushiyose(Secret Technique: Insect Gathering)!"

"Ding Dong! Memory Reading Succesful! Obtained: Hijutsu: Mushidama(Secret Technique: Insect Sphere)!"

"Ding Dong! Memory Reading Succesful! Acquired: Hijutsu: Mushiheki(Secret Technique: Insect Wall)!"

"..."

The system prompt rang out one after another. They were all secret techniques related to the insect from the Aburame clan.

"Good fellow."

When Aoba heard these electronic prompts, he was completely dumbfounded. He did not want to listen to these prompts anymore and directly walked out of the stone door.

Right now, there might be a lot of bacterial things in this stone room.

Although Aoba's current physique was not afraid of these things, it did not mean that he could accept being in this kind of environment.

Soon, Aoba walked out of this stone room.

He closed the stone door again and leaned against the stone wall with his back. He raised his hands and pressed them against his temples. He immediately began to check the memories of the people he had read just now.

Memories flooded into Aoba's mind one after another, showing the memories of the time of the village creation era.

These people were all ninjas of the Aburame clan.

It was precisely because they were all ninjas that practiced Insect Secret Technique that their bodies had tiny holes. After they died, their bodies became hollow. Many years later, Aoba touched them slightly and caused the bodies of these Aburame clan ninjas to collapse instantly.

"Hu..."

Aoba heaved a sigh of relief again. He had discovered many secrets from the Aburame clan ninjas.

Before Konohagakure was established. The Ninja World was in the Warring States Period.

Each clan became a group, and the ninjas fought for the clan. At that time, there was no village that could gather everyone.

Aburame clan was one of the most mysterious clans.

They signed a contract with the parasitic insect when they were born so that the insect could stay in their bodies and fight side by side with the bugs. Because of this, the Aburame clan rarely gets along with people from other clans. In itself, they were very mysterious.

Their characters were very reclusive. Their relationship with any clan was ordinary. However, their strength was abnormally strong. They were typically unremarkable but not to be trifled clan.

According to the memories of these Aburame.

At that time, the two most powerful clans, Senju and Uchiha, had turned to friendship. The heads of the two clans had decided to set up a village together, gathering the people of the big clan in the village. After that, the people in the village were the family. They opened their hearts to each other to form a bond to protect each other.

When such news spread to the Aburame clan, it immediately set off a huge storm.

Everyone in the Warring States Era knew how powerful the Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara were. They could imagine how terrifying the combination of the two would become. It was simply an unstoppable combination.

At that time, the news that a village was going to be established immediately caused a fierce discussion among the Aburame clan.

One of the branch members did not want Aburame to join Konohagakure. They felt that the Aburame clan should still maintain their original mystery. They did not need to become teammates with others. Everyone had different personalities and different fighting styles. They could not cooperate with each other at all.

These people who Aoba had read memories. It was the people who insisted on opposing the Aburame clan from joining Konohagakure.

Only...

The majority of the people in the clan wanted to join the village jointly established by Hashirama and Madara.

It must be known that these two people were not a small force; they had the strength to unify the world.

In the past, when the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan were constantly fighting, the other small clans could still have some space to live.

After all, these two powerful existences restrained each other. But after they joined hands, the whole world knew that no miracle could happen.

That being the case, the thoughts of the Aburame clan were very simple. If they couldn't beat them, they would join them.

This way, the Aburame clan would be able to receive the protection of the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan, while their clan could continue to be passed down.

At that time, there were many clans who had such thoughts.

It was precisely because of this.

During the era of village creation, Konohagakure directly jumped into the strongest village in the ninja world. Many big clans of the Warring States Era gathered there. Under the leadership of the Senju clan and Uchiha clan, they built a glorious Konohagakure together.

Through the memories of these people. It can be very clear and serious. There was absolutely no need for any modesty.

At the time when Konohagakure was first established, the Konohagakure at that time could be described as dominating an era.

In any period of later history, the Konohagakure of that era would be its most prosperous period.

But the only pity was...

The First Hokage Senju Hashirama only wanted to establish a village to protect his family, brothers, and protect the people in the village. He did not have the intention to fight for domination. Otherwise, the Ninja World would have been unified as a whole.

Aoba found from the memories of these corpses. Their thoughts were not much different from the other forces.

That was...

If they were to join the village of Hashirama and Madara, then they could accept it. After all, these two people were really too powerful.

But if it was just the Senju clan or the Uchiha clan. They were not too convinced.

Because of this, after joining Konohagakure, they did not change their minds. They only suppressed these thoughts. The deadline was, of course, the lifespan of Hashirama and Madara.

It was not until after the battle between Hashirama and Madara in the Valley of the End.

After a while, Senju Hashirama passed away. The thoughts of these Aburame clan ninjas began to become active. They began to plan to separate the Aburame clan from Konohagakure.

Gradually, these voices became louder and louder among the Aburame clan. Of course, it also became more and more ear-piercing!

Most of the people in the Aburame clan had already established a bond with the people in the village. They recognized Konohagakure very much and hated those who wanted to separate the Aburame clan from Konohagakure.

In the end, the Aburame clan couldn't help but report the names of these people to the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.

At that time, Tobirama had just taken over the position of Hokage and became Konohagakure's Second Hokage. Because he was the younger brother of Senju Hashirama, his foundation was still very stable, but the situation in the Ninja World had become very complicated.

Konohagakure was directly involved in the chaos of war.

After obtaining the news of internal strife reported by the Aburame clan, he decided to settle it down first so that they would have internal conflicts when they went out to fight.

So...

These Aburame all died at the hands of the Second Hokage. Moreover, their bodies were thrown into this secret room, and there were not many people in the Aburame clan who knew this thing.

Moreover, they all regarded this matter as a disgrace, so no one was willing to mention it.

At that time, it was precisely because of the people of the Aburame clan's heroic act of righteousness.

They were encouraged by the Second Hokage to contribute to the peace and development of Konohagakure. They were the ones who pushed the will of fire and also the practitioners and inheritors of the will of fire...

"Good fellow."

After checking the memories of these people, Aoba didn't know what to say for a moment.

Whether it was the people of the Aburame clan who were still alive or the people who had been killed as "traitors", they were essentially all for the sake of the Aburame clan to become better, hoping that the Aburame clan could develop better.

It was just that their standpoints were different. Of course, there was also a difference in the number of people.

Aoba saw the shadow of some other events in this incident.

Not to mention whether the minority obeyed the majority or not, or whether the truth was really in the hands of the minority, but Aoba could be sure of one thing. That was when the people thought that one thing was right, then even if he were not right, he would become right and vice versa.

Those who had objections were always the minority.

They will be called outliers.

Because when they become the majority, they will not be outliers but will directly become mainstream!

This was a very simple principle. When a clan wanted to stay in the village steadily, those who wanted to be stable were the mainstream, and those who wanted the clan to be divided were the outliers.

When a clan wanted to revolt and rise up to fight for the village regime, the will to revolt became the mainstream, and those who wanted a stable life and did not want to cause trouble became the outliers.

Just like Aoba had seen in Naruto Anime about Uchiha Itachi.

When the matter of killing the whole clan was weighed and collided with the position of the village.

What kind of choice would he really make?

It could be said that it all depended on his heart.

After making this choice, whether he hugged everyone or was aloof from then on depended on the group of people who had the same thoughts as him.

...

After checking the memories of these Aburame, Aoba suddenly felt very emotional. He saw the scene of Tobirama resolutely waving his sword at them.

Politics...

Who could say right or wrong?

This in itself was a collision of positions, and making decisions from their respective positions was in itself a different outlook on life, worldview, and values.

After that, Aoba shook his head, not letting himself think about these memories anymore. Instead, he continued to walk forward in the direction of the next stone door.

He vaguely realized that the reason why the room here was hidden in the dark was the simplest reason.

The simplest reason was that it could not be exposed to light.

However, what kind of corpse could be hidden from the light?

If it was a corpse left behind after killing the enemy, not only would it not be hidden from the light, but it could also be exposed and publicized. This was a very glorious thing.

Then...

What was stored here was not the enemy's corpse...

Instead...

The Konohagakure people's corpse!

When Aoba thought of this, his pupils shrank. Just as he was thinking, he had already arrived in front of the second stone door.
