CH 108

For the next period of time, Aoba carefully worked in Konohagakure Intelligence Division every day and stopped training at night.

He was not in a hurry to train, to begin with!

From the day he came to the ninja world, he had decided to slowly develop in a wretched way. He did not like fighting and killing. He hoped to be able to stay in his quiet little world.

Whether it was the learning of ninjutsu or physical exercises, you should practice again when you can practice. If the timing was not appropriate, you should still hide your strength.

Aoba did not want to go to the small forest to train his physical skills under the danger of being discovered by Tsunade or Danzo at this time.

Time flew.

Unknowingly, the Ninja School was about to start.

Dong dong dong~

Just as Aoba returned to his room, there was a knock on his room door, so Aoba raised his hand to open the door. 

Eaton, who was wearing a black trench coat, appeared in his line of sight.

“Captain Eaton!”

Aoba immediately greeted him. There was no change in his expression. After coming to Konohagakure Intelligence Division for more than half a year, his mind gradually calmed down.

“Aren’t you going to invite me in?” Eaton revealed a rare smile. It looked completely different from his usual serious appearance.

“Please come in.”

Aoba immediately took a step back and made way for Eaton.

Eaton walked in without hesitation and closed the door with a backhand. Only Aoba and Eaton were left in the room.

“Your room environment is a little shabby!”

Eaton looked around, like an old cadre inspecting, and finally pulled out a chair and sat down directly.

“It’s not bad.” Aoba said seriously, “The dormitory is a place to sleep. Most of the time, it is all spent in Konohagakure Intelligence Division.”

“You!” Eaton immediately laughed.

He pointed at Aoba and said, “I like your working attitude. In the past, I thought that you were sent by the Yamanaka clan to just hang around. Now, after a long time, I find that you are more dedicated than any of Konohagakure Intelligence Division’s members!”

“This is all thanks to Captain Eaton. After coming to Konohagakure Intelligence Division, I have always taken you as a model. The current me is not even one-tenth of what you did back then.” Aoba’s bootlicking skills had already reached the level where he could do whatever he wanted.

“You… what you said… makes sense!”

Eaton’s eyelids twitched violently. He looked at Aoba’s face, and after he said those words, his face turned a little red.

This kid…

His little mouth was getting sweeter and sweeter!

His words were also getting better and better!

Eaton felt extremely comfortable!

“Aoba, I came to see you this time. I have been here for a long time. As Konohagakure Intelligence Division Captain, I am concerned about the lives of my subordinates.”

Eaton said a reason that could not be any more fake. Perhaps he did not realize it himself.

“Thank you for your concern, Captain Eaton!” Aoba bowed and thanked him.

“Cough cough… cough cough cough…”

Eaton choked on his own saliva, and even he was a little unable to continue.

“That…”

“Aoba!”

“I eat lunch at Ramen Ichiraku today…”

“I heard that there will be a membership system the day after tomorrow. You must know about this!”

“Teuchi also ask me to give you a day off. He asked you to help him!”

“When did you become so close?”

Eaton asked what he was most concerned about. He tried to control his tone as much as possible. It did not seem like he was interrogating, but he still felt this way.

“I know a little about this membership system. It probably means that you can save money from the members by storing money and getting free vouchers. Not only will you get free food, but it will also be very convenient to use it.” Aoba explained. This was not something that could not be said. So he did not care too much about it.

“Well… do you have an internal channel?” Eaton asked in a low voice.

“What do you mean?” Aoba was stunned for a moment. He didn’t understand. What kind of internal channel was needed for this? He couldn’t help but ask.

“I just consulted with Teuchi. There is a limit to the membership card. There are only 100 members in the first batch. If you can’t get it, not only is there no free voucher, you can’t even store your money. You also know the nature of our work. There is no time for me to line up!” Eaton said with a wry smile.

“There’s actually such a thing!”

Aoba widened his eyes and was stunned for a moment. Then, a faint light flashed in his eyes.

Good fellow!

Big Brother Teuchi was awesome!

He actually set a restriction on this. As a result, Ramen Ichiraku’s membership would instead become something rare!

This was something that even he did not expect. It could be said that it instantly solved the problem of people’s hesitation.

First come, first served!

Moreover, it could also effectively promote people’s thoughts of snatching preferential treatment!

“Yes! It has already been publicized today. I saw that many people were eager to try. I felt that I might not be able to grab it, so I came over to ask you.” Eaton accidentally revealed the real purpose of visiting Aoba.

“Does Captain Eaton like to eat Ramen Ichiraku?” Aoba asked curiously.

“It’s not that I like to eat; it’s the little one in my family who likes to eat. The day after tomorrow, Ibiki will go to the Ninja School to report. I think I should give him a Ramen Ichiraku membership card. In the future, he can go there whenever he wants to eat. He doesn’t need to come to me often to ask for money, nor does he have to worry about forgetting to bring money. It will be much more convenient like this!” Eaton sighed. As Konohagakure Intelligence Division’s Captain, he had dedicated most of his life to the village, so he had not been able to give Ibiki too much company.

“I see.”

Aoba nodded. It was only now that he knew Ibiki was also in this year’s Ninja School.

“Captain Eaton, don’t worry. I will definitely get you a membership. If I can’t get it internally, I have to get it for you even if I queue up!” Aoba immediately patted his chest and promised.

“You… are very considerate.”

Eaton took a deep look at Aoba. He had originally intended to give it a try, but he did not expect this subordinate to be so attentive.

Then he thought back to when he helped Aoba fight for a holiday…

Eaton suddenly felt that helping Aoba was worth it.

This young man.

He knew how to be grateful.

It was worth nurturing!

“How about this…”

“Teuchi told me that he wanted your help.”

“I’ll give you three days off.”

“Go to Ramen Ichiraku and help me keep an eye on it. Try to get me a membership card.”

The lines on Eaton’s face became softer.

If it were only him who liked to eat ramen, he would not care so much. After all, just a single voucher was not that tempting for him.

The key was the limited membership!

This thing can be given to his son, Ibiki, so he doesn’t need to take his pocket money to eat ramen.

More importantly…

Eaton was worried that other students in the class had it, but his son did not, which would lead to a sense of loss.

This was his deep love for his son as a father!
