Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer

Aoba stood still.

He looked at Hiruzen.

He did not move.

It was not only because he had no intention of attacking Hiruzen but also because he needed to know Hiruzen's specific plans and what exactly happened to the Uzumaki Clan.

At this time.

Hiruzen seemed to want to let him go.

But it also seemed like he wanted him to leave Danzo's side.

Aoba could feel that Hiruzen was attracting his attention by using the weakness exposed by his body so that he could take him away from Danzo.

'What is his purpose for doing this?'

Aoba's mind began to move quickly, and his thoughts instantly became active. His mind began to judge the situation in a very short time, according to Hiruzen's performance.

There were only a few possibilities for Hiruzen to turn around and leave like this.

The first was done very casually. He trusted this mysterious person very much, and he could entrust his back to this mysterious person, who he did not know the identity of.

This situation was obviously impossible!

Through Danzo's memories, Aoba could tell that Hiruzen was not a simple person. He was a coward and also cherished his life. He wants to occupy more of the dignitaries he has now and would rather pay more bargaining chips than let the war started.

This kind of person obviously wouldn't easily hand his back over to someone else!

At the very least, Aoba didn't think so!

Hiruzen didn't have to do such a thing in front of him!

Then this possibility could be eliminated!

The second possibility was that Hiruzen wanted to use his back to induce him to attack so that he could attack him. In that case, it could be said that there was a reason. The reason was to assassinate the Hokage in the name of treating Danzo.

This possibility was relatively reasonable!

Of course.

Based on this possibility, there could be a deeper meaning: Hiruzen could use the weakness exposed on his body to draw Aoba away from Danzo.

This way, to a certain extent.

It prevents the possibility of Danzo becoming a hostage!

This possibility was the one that Aoba felt was the most likely. From Hiruzen's reaction, it could be seen that he did not have a very good opinion of the Uzumaki Clan.

If possible.

Hiruzen did not want to take the risk.

After all, Danzo was still very important to him.

However, Hiruzen needed Danzo as a reason to lure him over. That was why he had done such a method to ensure that Danzo was not injured. Moreover, he had confirmed that he was a member of the Uzumaki Clan through the seal on Danzo's body.

When Aoba thought of this...

He increasingly felt that this possibility was the highest.

The third, also the last, was that Hiruzen was fishing!

Hiruzen might not be sure what Aoba was thinking, so through this method, he revealed his back and gave a choice to him.

If he did nothing.

Then the matter might pass just like that.

However, if he attacked Hiruzen, then he would be captured or killed in the name of assassinating the Hokage.

In short...

Combined with the above three points.

As long as Hiruzen was not a noob who casually trusted strangers

Then it can be said that Aoba was regarded as an enemy.

Aoba silently made a judgment in his mind. Through his judgment, he could guess that the relationship between Hiruzen and the Uzumaki Clan did not seem so friendly.

From Hiruzen's reaction.

Hiruzen's most immediate impression of the Uzumaki Clan was that the Uzumaki Clan might come here to assassinate him!

If it was based on this judgment.

Then it all makes sense.

Aoba recalled the scene when he was treating Danzo. At that time, he was worried that if there was an accident due to his lack of treatment experience, he could imprison Danzo's soul and use other methods to rescue him.

This method wouldn't directly kill Danzo.

But...

This method revealed that he knew how to use the Uzumaki Clan's seal under Konoha's watchful eyes.

This directly led to Koharu mistakenly thinking he was an Uzumaki Clan member.

Moreover, she told this information to Hiruzen.

This treatment was basically testing whether he was an Uzumaki Clan or not.

Then...

A big question mark appeared in Aoba's mind.

Why?

Why were Konohagakure's higher-ups so nervous about the Uzumaki Clan?

Could it be...

Did Konohagakure do anything against his conscience regarding the Uzumaki Clan's destruction?

Aoba was keenly aware of Hiruzen and the other two Advisor's vigilance and hostility toward him. It seemed that something extraordinary had happened in the Uzumaki Clan's destruction.

Almost in an instant.

Aoba made a judgment and thought.

He silently stood on the chair next to Danzo and put on a posture of treating Danzo as a hostage, following Hiruzen's worries.

"Hokage-sama, have you finished asking all the questions you want to ask me?" Aoba faintly said. His voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it.

As soon as these words came out.

Including Koharu and Homura, they looked at each other.

They could see the surprise in each other's eyes.

The mysterious medical ninja in front of them, who they thought was a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan, was so calm. Not only did he not leave directly, but he also stayed here to chat with Hiruzen.

This kind of thing made them feel terrible.

This youth...

At the very least, in their eyes, he was a young man!

He had a calmness that did not match his age.

They simply could not see such a person.

Even the best of Konohagakure's younger generation, Namikaze Minato, had only made them look at him in a new light regarding ninjutsu. However, they only partially agreed with his handling of some matters and his work's steadiness.

Especially a while ago.

Just as Kumogakure's ninjas were about to arrive.

Minato actually proposed to them that Konohagakure should unite with Sunagakure, which was simply impossible for them, but Minato said so.

Naive!

Young!

Idealism!

This was the label they had given to Minato.

One had to know...

The feeling Hiruzen presented to outsiders was quite idealistic, but that was just for everyone to see.

It was not really like this!

All of a sudden.

Homura and Koharu looked at Hiruzen one after another. They both wanted to know how Hiruzen would deal with this situation.

After all.

The choice that the person in front of them made was completely different from what they had expected.

He didn't run away directly!

He also didn't assassinate Hiruzen!

Instead, he stayed here to chat with Hiruzen!

This scene made them feel like they didn't know how to describe it, so much so that they were deeply astonished.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't answer?" Hiruzen said with a smile. It seemed that the answer was no longer important to him. There was nothing much to say about the current situation.

In fact.

At this time.

Hiruzen had already decided in his heart that this mysterious medical ninja was the descendant of the Uzumaki Clan.

Regardless of whether Aoba admitted it or not.

He had already decided in his heart that it was like this.

Because of this.

Regarding the latter part, he did not ask at all. Even if he asked, he would only get the denial of the person in front of him.

So.

For him.

There was no difference between asking or not.

There was no difference.

However.

Because of Aoba's following word.

Hiruzen looked at Aoba with a strange look in his eyes. It seemed that he was more interested in Aoba.

Even he did not know.

Why did he take the initiative to bring up such a topic?

"Then let me ask you a few questions now." Aoba suddenly spoke. The eyes that were revealed from his mask and eyes stared fixedly at Hiruzen, and there was a faint smile in his eyes.

At this time.

He had no time to see what exactly happened between the Uzumaki Clan and Konohagakure.

Therefore, before he figured out Hiruzen's position, he always had to keep his guard up. He just stays next to Danzo. Even if Danzo was not a hostage, he was now a hostage.

As soon as this was said.

Aoba directly changed his mind.

The original situation where Hiruzen and the others call Aoba over to confirm his identity and leave a trap for Aoba to enter the net by himself has changed to Aoba sitting firmly on the fishing platform, watching how Hiruzen responds indifferently.

Near the door of the room.

The faces of the two advisors slightly changed.

They had imagined countless possibilities before but never thought that things would develop into the mysterious medical ninja of the Uzumaki clan in front of them asking Hiruzen.

This made them seem a little unprepared.

In addition, this mysterious medical ninja obviously had no intention of leaving Danzo's side.

This made them faintly realize...

What was about to happen next?

It was very likely that it was beyond their expectations.

The uncertainty became even more abundant.

It made the two advisors' eyes even more serious.

"Oh?"

Hiruzen looked at Aoba with deep meaning.

From the expression on his face, he probably didn't expect that this mysterious medical ninja from the Uzumaki Clan in front of him would actually ask him a question.

Hiruzen hesitated for a moment.

After that, he smiled calmly.

He looked as if he had no psychological burden at all.

He nodded directly at Aoba.

"Sure, go ahead and ask!" There was a trace of kindness in Hiruzen's smile. In an instant, he gave off the feeling of an elder. Right now, he was curious about what kind of question this mysterious medical ninja from the Uzumaki Clan would ask him.

"If I didn't come, how would you treat Brother Eaton?" Aoba said straightforwardly. This was also what he was very curious about. He wanted to know what Hiruzen was thinking. Moreover, in his opinion, such a question was also very suitable to be an opening statement. At least, he had to first test Hiruzen's thoughts and see to what extent Hiruzen could explain.

"Oh?"

After hearing Aoba's words, the smile on Hiruzen's face became even more meaningful. He stared at Aoba for a while and did not immediately answer this question.

Including Koharu and Homura, a strange look flashed in their eyes.

This question was completely different from what they had expected.

He was not asking about the Uzumaki Clan issue.

He was not asking about Konohagakure either.

Instead, he was asking about Eaton, who seemed to have nothing to do with the Uzumaki Clan and Konohagakure.

However...

From another point of view.

If they returned to the issues of treating Danzo's injuries.

As the middleman who connected the village to this mysterious medical ninja, Eaton had a lot of connections.

That was to say...

The mysterious medical ninja from the Uzumaki Clan once again brought the topic back to treating Danzo.

Hiruzen stared at Aoba for a while, then shook his head with a smile.

Immediately after.

His lips moved slightly.

The smile on his face disappeared, and he looked much more serious!

"I will not do anything to Eaton!"

"And not only will I not hurt him, but I will also reward him!"

"After all, he found you and successfully saved Danzo!"

"He made a great contribution to Konohagakure!"

"I will never do anything bad to a great contributor!"

"You can rest assured about this!"

Hiruzen said in a righteous tone. It was clear that these words had been repeated in his heart several times.

He insisted on presenting the sunniest image to the people of Konohagakure.

If he punished a deserving subject.

Then it could be said to be a big failure.

However.

Hiruzen's words still had some meaning.

He didn't mention anything about Aoba.

People who didn't know might think that Eaton used medical ninjutsu to save Danzo!

"As expected of Third Hokage-sama!" After hearing Hiruzen's words, Aoba slowly nodded and gave Hiruzen a thumbs up.

As long as there was this sentence.

At the very least, it wouldn't have much of an impact on Eaton.

In fact.

This was similar to what he had expected!

He also felt that Hiruzen wouldn't blame Eaton for such a thing.

But he couldn't gamble!

If he lost the bet...

Eaton might lose his position as Konohagakure Intelligence Division Captain!

This price was too high!

Aoba didn't care whether Hiruzen was telling the truth or not. Now that Hiruzen had said this, he could rest easy that Eaton would have no problems.

After hearing Aoba's praise, a smile appeared on Hiruzen's face again. He stared at Aoba with a meaningful gaze.

He had not expected that this mysterious medical ninja would ask him questions!

What was even more unexpected was...

The question was actually a question related to Eaton!

This was far beyond his expectations.

"Are there any other questions?"

Hiruzen stared at Aoba and asked. He still had an indescribable feeling of anticipation in his heart. He hoped that this mysterious medical ninja in front of him could ask some questions that excited him.

"In this matter, you won't make things difficult for Brother Eaton in the future, right?" Aoba asked again. The question he asked was still related to Eaton.

It was intentional!

This was definitely intentional!

Both Hiruzen and Konohagakure's two advisors had this thought after hearing Aoba's words.

"I will definitely not make things difficult for him!" Hiruzen immediately said with certainty.

This wasn't just a guarantee for Aoba.

This was what he was thinking in his heart.

The problem Hiruzen was facing now was that he still hadn't thought of how to treat this Uzumaki Clan descendant in front of him...

However, he was very clear that he would absolutely not punish Eaton because of Eaton's previous recklessness.

In his opinion, there was no problem at all with those things.

Moreover, Eaton was the one who helped Danzo treat his injury after all. It was very helpful to him, and his character image could not support him to do such a thing.

In fact.

Eaton's position was very stable!

Hiruzen always needed to maintain his bright image. Even if Danzo brought people to assassinate him, he would be forgiven. This was his foundation in the village.

As for those shady things.

Just leave it to Danzo!

But...

It was different this time!

Eaton could be considered to be Danzo's real savior.

Unless he had done something very serious.

Otherwise, Hiruzen would not let Danzo attack his savior so easily. He had to be more or less cautious about this.

After hearing Hiruzen's promise, Aoba nodded silently.

Through these two questions.

He knew what to do.

He knew that Eaton would not encounter any more difficulties.

This was for him.

This was to put down this layer of worry and concern.

There was no need to think about anything else.

Otherwise, no matter what Aoba did in the future, he would still consider Eaton's situation. Would he offend the higher-ups of the village because of his previous actions or words that he should not have said?

Instantly.

Aoba's eyes were fixed on Hiruzen's eyes.

There was a faint glow in his eyes.

"If I hadn't come here today, would you have continued to look for me?" Aoba obviously had no intention of letting Hiruzen off just like that and asked him. This question could be said to have been directly spoken out in the open. It seemed as if he had laid down his cards on the table.

As soon as this was said.

Konohagakure's two advisors, Koharu and Homura, looked at each other again.

The eyes of the two flashed with the same shock.

This young man...

Was he speaking so directly?

It was a little unbearable!

After all, they were all hypocritical people. They would always beat around the bush to express their hidden meaning. There was almost no time for them to be so direct.

"I will."

Hiruzen stared at Aoba and nodded calmly. Since Aoba was already telling him the truth, then he might as well say it directly.

Such a straightforward Hiruzen made Koharu and Homura a little anxious. They could no longer remember when Hiruzen was like this last time.

It seemed they hadn't seen Hiruzen speak like this for a long time.

"After I leave this time, will you still look for me?" The corners of Aoba's mouth behind the mask slightly curled up, and he immediately asked the question more directly, without any intention of letting Hiruzen go.

At the same time.

The two advisors pricked up their ears and listened to Aoba's even more direct question.

The expression on his face became even richer.

"If you live a new life in hiding and don't cause Konohagakure trouble, I won't make things difficult for you." Hiruzen nodded and said. His words revealed a lot of information.

Hiding.

Not causing trouble.

This could be seen to a certain extent.

Hiruzen was still very wary of the Uzumaki Clan!

This just confirmed part of Aoba's guess.

"I still have one last question." Aoba looked deeply at Hiruzen in front of him, then turned his gaze to the two advisors, Koharu and Homura, standing guard not far away. He said meaningfully, "Can I trust your words?"

"! ! !"

Hiruzen was shocked. However, he concealed his inner thoughts with deep shrewdness and did not show it on his face. He still maintained his previous posture and did not seem to have changed at all.

Homura and Koharu's eyes changed one after another, and their gaze immediately became dangerous.

This youth from the Uzumaki Clan...

Not simple!

No wonder he was able to survive the events of that year!

Just a few simple questions had already made them feel that this youth was different from others.

"Of course..."

Hiruzen hesitated for a moment. Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Aoba.

"I don't want to ask this question anymore!"

"This question is no longer interesting!"

"I thought of an even more interesting question!"

Through this method, Aoba had made Hiruzen's previously steady mood less smooth. After that, he spoke again, "Hokage-sama, do you think my words are credible?"

"..."

After hearing the last question that Aoba changed, Hiruzen suddenly became silent. He did not know what to say. Aoba trapped him.

How to answer this question?

Say you don't believe him?

Then didn't those words just now all go to waste?

Say you believe him?

How could he possibly believe the remaining descendants of the Uzumaki Clan?

"Actually..."

Hiruzen had just sorted out his words and wanted to answer Aoba's words patiently, but when he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Aoba again.

"Well, well, I understand what you mean. Hokage-sama, let's stop acting. I hope you don't make things difficult for Brother Eaton. He doesn't know my identity at all. We will meet again in the future. See you next time!"

As Aoba spoke, his mind suddenly moved, and a special chakra emerged from his body.

At the same time.

The scroll in Eaton's house that had been opened released some scarp papers like confetti. This scene made Eaton, who was pacing back and forth in the living room and waiting for Aoba to return, dumbfounded.

"What's going on?"

Eaton stared blankly at the flying scraps of paper on the scroll. His eyes widened. He had never seen such a scene before.

The flying scraps of paper spun quickly.

After that, it merged back into the scroll.

After the changes.

There was a slight change in the reverse summoning seal on the scroll, with a black circle added.

This circle was very inconspicuous in the reverse summoning seal.

It was Aoba's Flying Thunder God Formula!

Hum!

The moment the Flying Thunder God Formula was completed.

The scroll suddenly trembled, and the reverse summoning seal on the top began to burn as if it had been activated.

On the other side.

In Danzo's room.

Aoba's body seemed to be pulled by spatial fluctuations and suddenly disappeared under the gaze of Hiruzen and the two advisors.

Swish!

Aoba disappeared in a flash and appeared in Eaton's house. His right hand was pressed against the Flying Thunder God Formula on the scroll.

It looked like he was coming out of a scroll.

Such a scene.

It fell into Eaton's eyes.

It caused Eaton to be incomparably shocked.

'So that was the case!'

Eaton had already understood in his heart.

He knew how Aoba had entered his house before.

He had used this method!

It seemed...

It was still not easy to enter his house out of thin air. He could not help but feel relieved.

In Danzo's room.

Hiruzen and the two advisors watched Aoba leave, but there was nothing they could do.

When they discovered the spatial fluctuations, it was already too late.

"Reverse Summoning!"

Koharu immediately exclaimed. After she said this, she stared at Hiruzen and said helplessly, "This person came prepared, so I said we shouldn't let him go!"

"It won't be easy to find him in the future." Homura also said. His face revealed a helpless expression. Just now, he also felt Hiruzen was a little too weak in dealing with this matter. He should not have said so much to that person just now. Moreover, he should have given that person less time to prepare.

"I am not sure what his goal is. It is not good for us to act rashly!"

Hiruzen shook his head and said. Initially, it was somewhat reasonable at first. However, after he said those words to Aoba, he was even more unclear about what had happened.

"Danzo is fine!"

Hiruzen's gaze fell on Danzo. He could see that the mysterious medical ninja from the Uzumaki Clan just now had relatively high attainment in medical ninjutsu.

At the very least, if it were anyone else, they wouldn't be able to use Shosen Jutsu(Mystical Palm Technique) to remove the Body Sealing Seal!

"After Danzo slowly recovers, let's think about it. I have an intuition that I don't know how to describe. I feel that this youth from the Uzumaki Clan seems different from those from the Uzumaki Clan. We will still have to fight again!

Hiruzen had his hands behind his back. He maintained this posture, exposing his weakness to that mysterious medical ninja.

However.

The other party had no intention of attacking him at all.

This made Hiruzen wonder what the other party's goal was.

He was a little unsure.

In addition, Danzo was lying there. It was definitely not a good choice to take action rashly. In the end, he fell silent and watched the mysterious medical ninja leave.

"I'll leave this place to you."

Hiruzen took out his smoking pipe from his bosom and directly put it in his mouth. However, he did not light it. Instead, he walked out first.

It seems he doesn't want the room where Danzo rests full of smoke!

"Sigh..."

Koharu and Homura looked at each other after Hiruzen left. They could see the helplessness in each other's eyes and sighed one after another.

However...

They had no choice.

This was Hiruzen's old problem!

They were very clear about this.

And when encountering some more critical things, you will suffer from hesitation.

On the other side.

In Eaton's house.

Aoba directly took off the white mask on his face.

"Brother Eaton, thank you. I might have been trapped there if you hadn't understood what I meant!" Aoba smiled at Eaton.

"You scared me to death!"

Eaton said in a bad mood. In that situation, he was powerless even if he wanted to help Aoba. There was no way at all.

"How is Danzo-sama?"

After calming down, Eaton immediately asked Aoba. At least he was really concerned about Danzo's injury.

"It's all right." Aoba shook his head casually and did not say anything else.

"Is it Kuharu-sama?" Eaton immediately asked in a low voice. In his heart, he still wanted to know the truth of this matter. He took Aoba to the Hokage Building, so he tried to figure out what was going on.

"Brother Eaton, don't worry about this matter in the future. Hokage-sama has already promised that he will no longer use this matter to threaten you. Moreover, he will reward you after Danzo-sama recovers, so it is unsuitable for you to participate too much." Aoba put away the smile on his face. When he said this, he became a lot more serious.

"What do you mean..." Eaton frowned. He faintly smelled something special from Aoba's words. However, he was still unable to confirm it completely. The eyes that were staring at Aoba were flashing with an inquiry.

"Danzo-sama's condition has already passed. Now that this matter is over, no higher-ups in the village will come to find you for such a reason in the future. They will no longer need me to appear as a medical ninja, let alone come directly to your house through that reverse summoning scroll." Aoba explained to Eaton.

"What did you do?"

Eaton immediately realized that there might be something that he did not know. It might be a very serious matter. After all, when he left, everyone in the room, including Third Hokage, had a solemn expression.

"I only healed Danzo-sama's injuries!" Aoba said with a smile. He did not lie. Other than breaking the seal on Danzo, he did not do anything else.

"That's all?" Eaton narrowed his eyes and asked in confusion.

"That's all!"

Aoba nodded.

After that.

Aoba changed the topic.

He no longer wanted to continue this topic.

"Brother Eaton, I am very tired today. I'm going to back and rest. Let's stop talking about Danzo-sama here!" Aoba waved his hand and said, looking tired.

"Okay."

Eaton hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Since Danzo was fine, and the two of them were no longer under the special care of the village, then this matter could be said to have passed.

"By the way, Aoba, have you adapted to your new post?" Eaton hurriedly asked.

"It's okay; it's quite idle." Aoba nodded and said. The only problem was that he lacked a channel to read memory and increase his chakra. However, this problem was not extensive. There was still a long way to go before he could solve anything.

"If you have nothing to do..." Eaton immediately squeezed out a meaningful smile.

"Brother Eaton, I understand what you mean. Soon, I will officially start writing a new novel."

Aoba said with a smile.

As soon as Eaton spoke, he understood what the latter wanted to say.

After that.

Under Eaton's satisfied gaze, Aoba walked toward the door of Eaton's house.

"Wait!"

All of a sudden.

Eaton's expression changed drastically.

He hurriedly called out to Aoba.

At this time, he rushed to Aoba with an arrow step and opened his hands to block the door.

"Aoba, there are eyes outside," Eaton said in a low voice. When he came, he felt the Hokage's Anbu following him. Those people were watching him come here. Obviously, they were probably still outside and did not leave.

"I will use the Summoning Scroll," Aoba said with a smile. In fact, he knew that there were people from Anbu outside. Even if Eaton did not stop him, he would still stop at the door. However, he still had to do this.

Suddenly.

Aoba took out a scroll from his bosom.

He opened the scroll before Eaton and presented the content on the top.

Just like that, black chakra lines appeared in Eaton's line of sight. These lines were very complicated. After Eaton finished looking at them, he simply did not know what the content on the surface actually meant.

"Aoba, where did you learn these strange things?" Eaton could not help but ask. If Aoba knew medical ninjutsu, he was not surprised about it, but to say that he had mastered all these messy things, he could be said to be a genius.

"Hehehe, Brother Eaton, my physical fitness is not good, so I chose some secret techniques and some more obscure techniques to study. Not many techniques are suitable for me to learn, but the reverse summoning technique is one of them!" Aoba explained to Eaton. This explanation was a bit far-fetched, but it still came up with a reason.

"Is that so?"

Eaton was puzzled in his heart. Aoba said that his physical fitness was not good. He knew this was a problem, but because his physical fitness was not good, he picked to learn such complex techniques. Was this talent good or not?

Eaton stared at Aoba. As he gradually got to know Aoba better, he found that he couldn't understand this young man more and more. It really brought him too many surprises.

Under Eaton's gaze.

After Aoba opened the scroll, he patted it with his right hand and injected his chakra into it.

Hum!

The scroll suddenly moved.

Soon after, the black lines on the scroll began to jump up and down, changing into different shapes. After that, they formed even more special lines and were suffused with a strange spatial power.

"Brother Eaton, I'm going back to the dormitory. Goodbye!"

Aoba smiled at Eaton. His left hand picked up the mask that had fallen to the ground. Then, under cover of these lines, he directly used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique). His target was the Flying Thunder God Formula in the secret room where the Madara coffin was located.

Whoosh!

Aoba disappeared in a flash, leaving Eaton standing there silently.

"This..."

When Eaton saw this scene, he was stunned.

"Is this really the Aoba that everyone usually sees as weak and barely able to become a ninja?"

Eaton muttered to himself.

At this point in time.

In his heart, he already believed that after Aoba met Tsunade, he had been treated by her!

"It's still Tsunade-sama who taught him well!"

Eaton couldn't help but sigh again. Now that Danzo's injury had been healed, he felt relieved. A big stone directly fell from his chest, which made him less uncomfortable.

...

Aoba's figure appears where Madara's coffin was located. It was dark here. When Aoba first came here, he could hardly see anything.

"It really is a trap!"

Aoba quickly took off his clothes and placed them in Madara's coffin. This place made him very comfortable, and no one would have thought he would come here.

After that.

Aoba once again used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique). This time, the target was the tower in the forest. His figure flashed, and he appeared on the first floor of the building.

At this time.

The shadow clones Aoba had just created were still practicing the puppet technique, and they immediately stopped.

"Remove."

Aoba said indifferently. After he finished speaking, all the shadow clones in the audience stopped what they were doing and made the same hand seals with their hands. Then, with the sound of explosions, they disappeared one after another.

The intelligence reports came as these shadow clones returned to Aoba's body.

"I haven't made much progress in this period."

Aoba nodded silently, mainly because he didn't stay in the Hokage Building long. These shadow clones were primarily used to repair the puppets here. Only a few shadow clones began to learn how to control the puppets.

However.

Now, his mind was no longer on practicing puppet techniques.

He had more important things to do.

In a split second.

Aoba made a hand seal for Taju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique), and all the chakra in his body surged.

"Taju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique)!"

Aoba said indifferently. As his voice fell, one shadow clone after another appeared. There were thousands of them, almost filling up the entire place.

"You all understand, right?" Aoba's gaze swept over the dense shadow clones here, and he slowly spoke.

"Understood!"

The shadow clone at the scene immediately nodded. Each of them was Aoba and had a part of his consciousness. When he used the shadow clone, all the memories were Aoba's.

"Now, you divide into ten groups!"

"100 people in one group."

"Everyone, figure out your group number."

"Then go through Danzo's memories according to the plan!"

"Once someone finds out about the annihilation of the Uzumaki Clan, immediately use Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique) to inform me!"

Aoba said to these shadow clones one after another. What he wanted most now was to figure out what had happened to Uzumaki Clan.

"Yes!"

These shadow clones responded one after another. Then, they began to search for their positions and split into different groups quickly. According to the information in their memories, the timeline of each group to read memories was different. They quickly searched for information about the Uzumaki Clan in each timeline.

When Aoba saw the orderly appearance of these shadow clones, he nodded in satisfaction. Then, he used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) again and disappeared.

Swish!

Aoba directly appeared in Anbu's dormitory and directly lay on the familiar iron bed.

"This day is really too tiring!"

Aoba lay on his back while his eyes stared at the dim ceiling. His eyes were a little daze. He was not looking at the thing in front of him but thinking about other things.

His two thumbs were constantly rubbing on his temples, promoting the cerebral cortex's blood circulation, and boosting his brain's metabolism.

For a moment.

Aoba's body began to recover quickly, but this still made him feel very tired. He had used up too much energy in the process just now.

Gradually.

Aoba's consciousness began to dissipate, ready to fall asleep.

...

Dong! Dong! Dong!

There were heavy knocks on the door.

Along with the knocks, there were low shouts.

"Aoba, wake up!"

This voice wasn't loud, and it wasn't even as loud as the sound of knocking. It was clear that it worried it would affect the rest of the people inside.

"? ? ?"

A large number of question marks suddenly appeared in Aoba's mind. He never thought that what woke him up was not the memories transmitted by the shadow clones but the sound of knocking on the door outside.

"Who is it?"

Aoba muttered unhappily. He usually didn't have any social circles, so how could anyone knock on his door in the middle of the night?

This was very strange!

Aoba got up from the bed in a daze and walked toward the door.

He raised his hand.

Open the door.

Suddenly, a ninja wearing Konoha Military Police Force's uniform came into view.

Aoba narrowed his eyes and scanned this person. He confirmed that this person was the Uchiha Fugaku he knew.

"Brother Fugaku, it's you. What did I do?"

When Aoba saw Fugaku, he was no longer sleepy, but he pretended to be very tired because he did not know why Fugaku came to find him.

"Aoba, you are fine. I have something to do. I have a case in my hand, and I want you to help me." Fugaku immediately smiled and said. Since Aoba helped him find the real murderer who killed Sekai last time, the distance between him and Aoba had become much closer, and he had already regarded Aoba as a friend.

"A case?"

Aoba rubbed his eyes and shook his head as he spoke. He had no interest and said, "I'm not an expert in solving cases. It's useless for you to look for me for this kind of thing..."

"No, you are useful. You are very useful. Listen to me!"

Fugaku directly pushed open the door of Aoba's dormitory and went straight in. He closed the door of Aoba's dormitory with a backhand and sat down on Aoba's bed without any politeness. He did not treat himself as an outsider at all.

"? ? ?" When Aoba saw Fugaku like this, he immediately became even more spirited. However, he showed that he was even more sleepy and confused.

"In the past few days, several murders have happened in Konohagakure in succession. The people who died had no contact with each other, and the methods of killing were different. This left me with no clue. I need you to help me," Fugaku said in a deep voice. His face was full of seriousness, and he had no intention of joking at all.

"No..."

The corner of Aoba's mouth twitched slightly. He did not expect that Fugaku would find him this time. He was not Conan. How could he have experience in solving cases?

"I am not Konoha Military Police Force's person. I also want to help you, but I can't do it!" Aoba spread out his hands and said helplessly.

"As long as you want it!"

A smile appeared on Fugaku's worried face.

"As long as you are willing to help me, this case will be much easier. Listen to me carefully. The complexity of this case..."

Fugaku paused for a moment, his eyes focused on Aoba. Looking at Aoba, who was still standing, he immediately pointed to the chair by the bed.

"Aoba, sit down. Don't stand there!" Fugaku said very casually. From his state, it was as if this was his room.

"Okay... okay..."

Aoba smiled helplessly. He had never agreed to it and never intended to come into contact with such things. However, Fugaku, who had suddenly barged in, did not seem to care about what he was thinking at all. He walked in his own rhythm completely.

"It's like this..."

Fugaku's eyes became deep. In fact, there were not many cases that Konoha Military Police Force could not solve. In the Ninja World, very few cases need to be investigated. After all, it was very normal for people to die.

However, this matter made Fugaku feel very troublesome and angry.

"Up until today, four people have already died. There is no intersection between them, and the way they die is different. However, I think the same person should have done it, and that person should be a ninja!"

When Fugaku said this, he directly raised his right hand. There were four fingers on it, and then he put them away.

Then.

Fugaku raised the first finger.

"The first person is a Genin. His age is similar to yours, and he seems to be someone of the same age group as you. His name is Ishida Yamato. He is just an ordinary Genin, and he is usually very popular. He has many friends, and he does not have any enemies on the surface. He was found dead in the intersection in front of the Ninja School. He was tied to a tree, and the cause of his death was that his head was hit continuously by a blunt weapon, causing him to die of intracranial hemorrhage." Fugaku slowly introduced. The contents of his words were clearly transmitted into Aoba's mind.

"Does he really not have any enemies?"

After hearing Fugaku's introduction, black lines immediately appeared on Aoba's face.

Does this look like he did not have any enemies?

A blunt weapon continuously hit his head to the point of bleeding.

This was complete torture to death!

"I suspect he has enemies, but I haven't investigated it yet. He was found at the intersection in front of the Ninja School when the students went to school in the morning. According to the reply given by the medical ninja, from the mark on his body, he had been tied there the night before and was beaten on the head many times. The massive intracranial hemorrhage was not caused by a few heavy blows but by continuous heavy blows overnight. From this action, it is obvious that the suspect is venting the anger in his heart!" Fugaku said with a gloomy face. He had been in Konoha Military Police Force for many years and had not encountered such things. Perhaps only the Missing People Case and the River Floating Corpse Case could be compared to this.

"Continuously hit by a blunt weapon for a whole night and bleeds to death at the end. It seems that the blunt weapon is not that hard, and the person who did this has controlled the strength very well." Aoba said slowly. After hearing what Fugaku said, he had already been thinking silently in his heart. According to the information he had, he really did not know about this matter.

"Yes, you may not believe it even if I tell you. Ishida Yamato's skull was cracked, but his brain was intact. This is completely a revenge killing!" Fugaku immediately confirmed the nature of this case.

"The brain is intact..." Aoba narrowed his eyes and immediately guessed the meaning of Fugaku looking for him.

"Hehehe, I'll continue..."

Fugaku immediately smiled. He could tell that Aoba had already guessed his thoughts, but he just didn't say anything. It was as if he hadn't felt it at all.

"The second person was a clerk at a bookstore in the village. This clerk had worked in the bookstore for 12 years. He worked diligently every day. He had seldom had a dispute with anyone. Moreover, he was just an ordinary person who hadn't passed through the Ninja School. But it was such a person who was hacked to death by a card on the way home the day after the first person died!" Fugaku took a deep breath and said. He felt that these things were very outrageous.

"He was hacked to death by a card?" Aoba was stunned for a moment. He did not understand what Fugaku meant. He had no idea what the "card" meant.

"When I heard this information, my reaction was the same as yours. I don't know what happened, but I was shocked when I saw it with my own eyes!"

Fugaku immediately explained to Aoba.

"The murder weapon used by the perpetrator was the membership card the clerk carried with him. He used the corner of the membership card as a blade to cut the clerk's body one after another. After a full 233 cuts, the artery on the neck was cut at the end, causing the clerk to die from excessive blood loss."

After Fugaku said this, he raised his eyes and stared at Aoba. The smile on his face completely disappeared, and he looked extremely serious.

"Aoba, you didn't hear wrong. The only connection between these two people might be that they lost too much blood, but I can see the appearance of violence between them, so I guess the same person did it!" Fugaku said in a deep voice.

"There is indeed such a possibility." Aoba nodded. He never thought he would have to burn his brain like this after crossing over to Naruto's world.

"Now is a special time. A world war has already begun, but the war has not erupted in Konohagakure for a short time. The appearance of such a thing makes me especially angry!" Fugaku clenched his fists tightly as he spoke, and white lines appeared between his joints because he used too much force. His voice seemed to be squeezed out between his teeth as he continued, "In troubled times, there are daily deaths and sacrifices. This kind of thing is not rare, but the death of anyone must have value. I can accept being killed on the battlefield by the enemy, but I can't accept being killed by the people in the village. This is a very serious matter. I must find this person!"

"I understand."

Aoba nodded as well. He could faintly hear the hidden meaning behind Fugaku's words. It was about Sekai's death.

If Sekai had really been killed by Gasshi, perhaps Fugaku would have felt better and put his energy into fighting Kumogakure.

But now, Fugaku realized.

The person who killed Sekai was not Gasshi but Orochimaru, one of Konoha Sannin. This could be said to have subverted his concept.

"Aoba, if I didn't find this person, I will feel sorry for Sekai, who was also killed by people in the village, so I hope you can help me. Now, I will tell you the situation of the third person..." Fugaku said coldly. He hates the person who killed his fellow villager.

Hum!

Right at this moment.

Aoba's head trembled a little.

"Wait!"

Aoba immediately pressed his head with both hands and accepted the information sent by the shadow clones. His head seemed to explode in an instant.

"Aoba, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Fugaku saw that Aoba's face was not very good and immediately stopped talking. He took a step forward and asked with concern.

"I'm fine..."

Aoba still maintained his present posture. The information kept drilling into his brain, and his brain felt very tired.

"Headache... Let me rest for a while... I'll be fine..."

To prevent Fugaku from overthinking, Aoba quickly devised an excuse. After he finished speaking, the information brought back by the thousands of shadow clones was completely stuffed into his brain.

A moment later.

Aoba took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, trying to calm himself down.

'Found it!'

He had found the memories about the Uzumaki Clan!

After Fugaku left, he could investigate. Aoba was now very curious about what had happened to the Uzumaki Clan.

"Brother Fugaku, please continue. I'm fine now..."

Aoba removed his hands from his head and raised his head to look at Fugaku again. What he needed to do now was to see what had happened to the Uzumaki Clan after Fugaku had left.
