CH 128

After Aoba left Tsunade’s room, he directly walked toward Konohagakure Intelligence Division.

From the time he saw Tsunade until now, the whole process only lasted for two hours.

He did not stay too long.

Although both sides wanted to open their hearts, there was still a lot of probing each other.

After all, no one was an innocent fool.

Just saying a few nice words could move him to the heart.

In the Ninja World.

He had to be cautious!

On the way back to Anbu’s dormitory, Aoba kept thinking about his conversation with Tsunade.

Recalling Tsunade’s expression and words, he wondered if there was something that he did not notice at that time.

Not only that.

He was still thinking about whether there was any problem with his words.

Was there any loophole?

After confirming that there was nothing inappropriate, he began to think about how to continue his peaceful life as Tsunade’s student.

“I need to find Captain Eaton!”

Aoba immediately made a judgment. The only person who knew that he was Tsunade’s student was Konohagakure Intelligence Division Captain Morino Eaton.

He told Tsunade that he did not want to expose his identity, and she agreed. However, from her movements, it seemed that she would have to wait until tomorrow to inform Eaton.

It was too long!

Aoba could not wait that long.

It was a long night.

If he was not careful, this kind of thing might become big news and spread throughout Konohagakure.

…

Aoba returned to Konohagakure Intelligence Division. When he went to Konohagakure Intelligence Division’s black room, he did not see Eaton.

He then simply asked a few people.

The response he received was that Captain Eaton had yet to return.

“Could it be…”

A look of disbelief flashed across Aoba’s eyes.

He immediately walked over to his compartment.

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

Before Aoba reached the place, he heard the sound of a whip whipping and suddenly realized something.

It can’t be!

Could it be that Captain Eaton was still ravaging that little thief?

Wasn’t this a bit too exaggerated!

Aoba immediately quickened his pace and quickly arrived outside his compartment’s door. He could already confirm that the sound came from inside.

Instantly.

Aoba pushed the compartment door open.

The moment he opened the door.

The sound of whipping immediately became louder.

“Who?”

When Eaton heard the sound of the door opening, he immediately stopped what he was doing and turned to look in the door direction.

“Captain Eaton, it’s me, Aoba,” Aoba said.

“Aoba, why are you back? Don’t worry, leave your vacation to me.” A smile appeared on Eaton’s face, and his tone became much gentler. It was completely different from the tone just now.

“It’s not about the holiday…”

After Aoba confirmed that Eaton had not gone out, the big stone in his heart fell down, and then he looked at the little thief on the wooden pillar.

At this moment.

The little thief was covered in blood.

He was unconscious and passed out.

Only his body was still trembling uncontrollably from the constant beating.

“What is it?” Eaton asked in confusion.

“Captain Eaton, the matter is like this. I believe you already know that I am now Tsunade-sensei’s student. However, Tsunade-sensei will be leaving Konohagakure soon, so I hope that you can help me keep my identity a secret.” Aoba said.

“No problem!” Eaton said without hesitation. He knew very well that the Aoba standing in front of him now was no longer the Aoba of the past. And also, this small request could be easily satisfied.

“Thank you, Captain Eaton.” Aoba thanked him.

“Aoba, I have a question. I hope you can tell me frankly.” Eaton stared at Aoba and asked.

“What’s the problem?” Aoba said.

“Now that you are Tsunade-sama’s student, you are likely to become a medical ninja in the future. Will you never return to Konohagakure Intelligence Division again?” Eaton asked in a deep voice. He already had a hunch in his heart.

In fact, he had already guessed Aoba’s decision.

After all.

If it were him.

He knew what to choose even if he thought with his toes.

The praise and status that a medical ninja could receive were far greater than that of Konohagakure Intelligence Division’s Sensory Ninjas.

“So that’s the case.”

Aoba smiled and said, “Captain Eaton, I will do a special training with Tsunade-sensei during this period of time. When Tsunade-sensei leaves Konohagakure, I will return to Konohagakure Intelligence Division. I still have to work for Konohagakure Intelligence Division for 120 years!”

“???”

When Eaton heard Aoba’s words, a lot of question marks appeared in his head.

What the hell was this?

He actually would come back?

Don’t you have any plans for your future?

But…

When he heard about work for 120 years, he couldn’t help but feel a little touched.

As Konohagakure Intelligence Division Captain, he knew very well that not everyone was sincerely willing to work for Konohagakure Intelligence Division.

Just from the way he often tested the members of the division.

Many people could not resist the temptation.

They came to Konohagakure Intelligence Division mostly because they had no choice. As long as there was a better choice and a way out, they would rush to it.

Only Aoba…

This young man didn’t seem to have any great merits or shortcomings.

Yet, he always stuck to Konohagakure Intelligence Division.

If it said that, he might have been just pretending during the test.

But now, Aoba was already Tsunade’s student and could completely control his own fate, but he still chose Konohagakure Intelligence Division.

What did this mean?

Eaton immediately realized that this was Aoba’s deep love for Konohagakure Intelligence Division.

This was true love from the bottom of his heart.

“Good!”

Eaton raised his hand, wanting to pat Aoba on the shoulder.

Just as he raised his hand, he thought of the matter of Aoba’s health being poor, and then he quickly retracted his hand.

“Aoba, you have to work hard in your training. Konohagakure Intelligence Division’s future still depends on you. I will not tell anyone about you being Tsunade-sama’s student. If you change your mind in the future and do not want to return to Konohagakure Intelligence Division, just say hello to me. But if you still want to come back, Konohagakure Intelligence Division’s door will always be open to you.” Eaton said affectionately.

When he said this.

He had already decided in his heart.

If Aoba really returned to Konohagakure Intelligence Division.

In that case, he would seriously consider the candidate for Konohagakure Intelligence Division Captain in the future.

After all…

The identity of Aoba as Tsunade’s student was really too high.

Even if he did not give a face to Aoba, he had to give Tsunade face.

“Thank you, Captain Eaton.”

Aoba expressed his gratitude to Eaton. Then, the two of them exchanged a few more words. Then, Aoba turned around and left the compartment.

For him.

The one he liked more was still Konohagakure Intelligence Division in his heart.

This place was underground of Konohagakure. The entire environment was dark and cold, but it made him feel very comfortable.

Here, he could slowly accumulate strength and not be easily noticed.

Most importantly…

He did not need to go to the battlefield!

However.

Medical Ninjas were different.

If Aoba chose to enter the ranks of medical ninjas, then it was very likely that he would join the medical team instead of Konoha hospital.

After all, he was not a professional but just halfway through, and his medical knowledge was not solid.

At that time, he had to come into contact with the wounded every day. In addition, he had to use Shōsen Jutsu(Mystical Palm Technique) constantly. It was neither too much nor too little. It was very difficult to control.

How could he be more comfortable than Konohagakure Intelligence Division?

When he had nothing to do, he would fish for a while, browse some memories, simulate Sakumo’s mission, and increase his experience in carrying out missions.

At night, he could exercise his body and increase his physical skills.

What’s more, Konohagakure Intelligence Division Captain, Morino Eaton, could already be considered “his own people”.

How good was this?

Aoba did not think too much between Konohagakure Intelligence Division and the medical team. This was a very easy choice to make.

Not long after.

Aoba returned to Anbu’s dormitory.

He did not take a rest.

Instead, he changed his Anbu clothes into exercise clothes.

Tsunade now knew that he was the one in the small forest that day. Moreover, she knew that his body was not as weak as the external information.

Since Tsunade already knew.

Then he could continue with his training.

The main reason why Aoba didn’t go to the forest was that he was worried about being discovered by Tsunade.

Now he didn’t have this concern.

After Aoba changed into his exercise clothes, he took out a brand new mask and put it on his face. When the sun set, he quickly drilled into the small forest.

“The most important way to practice is self-discipline so that you can squeeze your potential and complete a breakthrough in strength.”

Duy’s words echoed in Aoba’s mind.

Before reading Duy’s memories.

Aoba had always been casual with training. He went back after sweating a little. He did not force out his limits like Duy and Guy did.

“Let me try too!”

Aoba took a deep breath. He imitated Duy and Guy’s way and set a goal for himself.

“Run 500 laps around the forest. If you complete it, run another 1000 laps. If you fail to complete it, do 500 squats!”

After Aoba gave himself a goal, he immediately began to sprint.

Swish, swish, swish…

The sound of wind constantly rang in Aoba’s ears. He ran with all his strength, causing every inch of his muscles to be trained, fully achieving the goal of training.

As time passed…

Aoba ran around the small forest one round after another, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

At this moment of running, Aoba relaxed his mind, letting himself not think about anything. He forgets about the troubles in the near future and even ignores the memories he had experienced. He devoted himself to feeling nature.

Gradually.

As Aoba sprinted, he suddenly felt the natural aura around him.

He seemed to be able to hear the breathing of the trees around him. When he stepped on the ground, he could feel the veins of the earth.

As the breeze blew, he could faintly feel natural energy within.
