CH 182

Aoba took the umbrella that Kami no Shisha no Jutsu(Paper Person of God Technique) had turned into and walked towards Anbu's dormitory. He clearly felt two people staring at him and knew that these two people were Fugaku and Sekai.

The moment Teuchi took out the box, he felt Sekai's gaze.

He had read Sekai's memories.

He was very clear about what kind of person Sekai was.

This person's observation was relatively sharp, but his reaction was slightly slow, and his ability to follow up was lacking.

He was the type with outstanding advantages and disadvantages.

Because of this, Sekai would occasionally be used by Akaru, but he would not always be used.

Just as Aoba's hand touched the box filled with books that Minato had brought over, he already knew that if he had directly left with the box at that time, he would have been chased by Sekai and be questioned.

At that time.

He would really be exposed.

If he used Chōkeijūgan no Jutsu(Ultralight-Weight Rock Technique) at that time, there would be a great contrast and flaws.

Aoba was keenly aware of Sekai's attention and immediately retracted his hand, not continuing his previous action.

It was only then that there was the matter of waiting for Sekai and Fugaku to leave before leaving.

Aoba took a few steps.

He gradually felt the gaze on him disappear.

However.

He did not lower his guard.

He knew very well that Sekai had begun to suspect him.

No matter what the other party suspected.

In short, he had been noticed.

This was not difficult to judge. After all, Sekai was the one who went to Konohagakure Intelligence Division to find him. It was just that he had not seen him at that time.

Aoba strode directly towards Anbu's dormitory.

He did not go to the small forest as he had planned beforehand. He needed to disguise himself temporarily.

Just like this.

Aoba returned to Anbu's dormitory.

The moment he closed the dormitory door, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

...

The next morning.

Aoba had been woken up by the bombardment of messages a long time ago. It was even more effective than an alarm clock.

"I've finished drawing the explosive tags!"

Aoba slowly opened his eyes and stretched on the bed. He stretched his body and muscles. Even though he had just slept for a night, after the bombardment of messages just now, he still felt a wave of exhaustion in his mind.

"It's time to go and arrange it."

Aoba shook his head and removed these thoughts. After all, it was just a message from more than forty clones. It would have some impact on him, but the impact would not be that strong.

Aoba got up from the bed and simply washed up. Then he changed into Anbu's clothes.

After everything was ready, he picked up an umbrella leaning against the corner of the dormitory.

This umbrella was the box filled with books disguised by Kami no Shisha no Jutsu(Paper Person of God Technique).

Aoba picked up the umbrella.

He got up and walked out of Anbu's dormitory.

He stood at the entrance of Anbu's dormitory and instantly spread out all his perceptions. Then, with his body as the center, a large net spread out and enveloped the surrounding area.

No one was paying attention to him!

Aoba instantly confirmed this point.

Then.

He walked towards the forest.

A few minutes later.

Aoba came to the forest that he had set up yesterday. Just as he walked there, a tree in front of him suddenly changed.

Swish Swish Swish...

As pieces of paper flew, the whole tree turned into paper and merged into a figure.

This figure looked exactly the same as Aoba. It was the shadow clone of Aoba.

Now, only one shadow clone remains here to maintain Kami no Shisha no Jutsu(Paper Person of God Technique). The other shadow clones had already been removed and returned the information to Aoba's body.

Aoba's shadow clone walked in front of Aoba and raised his right hand. There was a stack of explosion tags on his palm.

Aoba immediately took the explosion tags.

These two identical people only made a move and did not say anything.

"Bang!"

Along with the sound of an explosion, Aoba's shadow clone was instantly dispelled, and then another piece of information was transmitted into Aoba's mind.

"45 blank explosive tags. A total of 37 have succeeded, and the other eight have been ruined."

"The success rate has exceeded 80!"

"It's still acceptable!"

The corners of Aoba's mouth curled up slightly. He held the 37 explosive tags in his hand. Then, he took out a bag from his ninja pouch and put all the explosive tags into the bag.

Swish Swish Swish...

Another burst of paper flew into the air.

The piece of paper covering the box suddenly disappeared. Kami no Shisha no Jutsu(Paper Person of God Technique) had been removed by Aoba, and the umbrella returned to its original form.

Then.

Aoba raised his hands and crossed his fingers to form a hand seal.

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

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Along with the "bang" sounds, Aoba's clones appeared in the forest, instantly occupying all the surrounding space.

"Take these books and study them. You can clearly divide the work."

Aoba said indifferently.

In fact, he did not need to give an explanation at all.

Everyone here.

They were all his clones.

They all understood what he was thinking.

"Yes!"

These shadow clones replied in unison. Then, one of the shadow clones walked over in the direction of Aoba and directly lifted his hand to carry the box away.

Swish Swish...

Almost instantly, pieces of paper flew up the surroundings and formed an ocean of paper.

These pieces of paper circled around the surrounding space like a tornado and gradually turned into a small hill full of green plants.

Under the camouflage of the small hill.

There were hundreds of Aoba's shadow clones inside.

All of this was almost done in an instant.

However.

There was still a shadow clone beside Aoba.

Suddenly.

Aoba lowered his head and picked up the bag on the ground.

The bag contained 37 explosive tags that had just been drawn.

"I'll leave it to you."

Aoba handed the bag to another Aoba's shadow clone.

"Understood."

After Aoba took the bag containing the explosive tags, the pieces of paper on his body began to turn as if they were shuffling cards.

As the pieces of paper flipped.

Aoba's shadow clone directly transformed into another person.

He was tall.

He wore a black windbreaker.

He wore a hat on his head.

Then, he put on the hood of his trench coat.

There was also a dark sunglass on his face.

It instantly gave people a very cold feeling.

If Konohagakure Intelligence Division's people were to see this, they would definitely be shocked.

Aoba's shadow clone had transformed into Konohagakure Intelligence Division Captain Morino Eaton through Kami no Shisha no Jutsu(Paper Person of God Technique).

Aoba nodded at the shadow clone. Then, he turned around and returned to Konohagakure Intelligence Division. He did not say anything more.

The shadow clone that had transformed into Eaton stuffed the bag with the explosive tags and walked towards the other side of the forest. He did not say anything because he was Aoba's clone, so their thoughts were completely the same.

A few minutes later.

Aoba returned to Konohagakure Intelligence Division.

He walked directly in the direction of Konohagakure Intelligence Division's black room.

"Captain Eaton!"

As soon as Aoba arrived at Konohagakure Intelligence Division's black room, he saw Eaton dressed exactly like his shadow clone. His eyes immediately lit up and greeted Eaton.

"Still Captain Eaton!"

Eaton looked at Aoba and frowned. His stiff face looked a little angry.

"Aoba, how many times have I told you? When there are no outsiders, you can call me Brother Eaton!" Eaton said.

"Hahaha, okay, Brother Eaton!" Aoba suddenly laughed. He could clearly feel Eaton's flattery.

"That's right!"

A smile immediately appeared on Eaton's face. Then, he stared at Aoba with a puzzled look in his eyes.

"Aoba, why are you looking for me so early? Is there something you need?" Eaton asked, a little puzzled.

This was not his fault.

According to normal circumstances.

Aoba would not come looking for him casually.

It was only when there really was a special situation that he would find him.

This made him faintly feel that this was an excellent opportunity to win over Aoba.

"Brother Eaton, I have a few questions and want to talk to you. Do you have time now?" Aoba asked hesitantly.

"Yes! Of course! This is not the place to talk. Come with me!" Eaton nodded repeatedly and led Aoba to his office.

"Okay." Aoba followed him directly.

A moment later.

Eaton brought Aoba into his office.

This office did not look simple. There was a large bookshelf at the back of the office. The bookshelf was full of books, but most of them were novels. They were not related to Konohagakure Intelligence Division.

Aoba had seen this in Eaton's memory and understood what Eaton was thinking.

It was because Konohagakure Intelligence Division's work was a very tiring job.

As Konohagakure Intelligence Division's Captain, Eaton had to find a way to vent his emotions. Still, he had to maintain the image of a leader and could not easily vent his anger on his subordinates.

Gradually.

Eaton found that reading novels was very relieving.

Only then did he gradually fall in love with novels.

Only.

What made him feel pity was...

The Ninja World was in chaos all year round, and people had not even solved the problem of eating. There was not much place for spiritual pursuit.

This made the Ninja World temporarily lack target buyers for authors.

After all, their readers were only a small part.

Moreover, they did not have enough financial income to support their lives.

This made it so that there were not many novels that could relieve his stress.

All the books on the bookshelf in Eaton's office could be said to be all the existing novels in the Ninja World.

"Brother Eaton, do you like reading novels?"

Aoba looked up at the books on the bookshelf behind Eaton.

He was here to find a topic.

Just now, he was thinking about what kind of topic to talk about with Eaton.

Now, he saw these novels.

He suddenly had a feeling in his heart.

"Aoba, you read novels too?" Eaton was stunned. He did not expect Aoba to have the same hobby as him. Wasn't this a common topic?

"I don't read much. I also want to use this method to relieve stress. Do you have any recommendations?" Aoba immediately nodded and asked. His eyes flashed with doubt. His intention was very simple, to find a topic which he could often find Eaton.

Of course.

Eaton was also looking for such a topic!

However, he did not know that Aoba was deliberately giving him this opportunity. He thought that he had found this opportunity.

All of a sudden.

Eaton's eyes began to shine.

"Aoba, I just finished reading a particularly good novel recently. It's a pity that the author updated too slowly. Now I only have the first volume, and I haven't gotten the second volume." When Eaton said this, his face revealed deep regret.

"What book?" Aoba put on a curious look.

In fact, he was not curious at all.

He just wanted to stall Eaton so that no one in the world except him would see Eaton.

This way, there would not be two Eaton!

His plan could proceed very smoothly!

"I'll get it for you!"

Eaton immediately got up and took out a book with a red cover on the right side of the bookshelf.

When he took out the book.

He looked at the book with eyes full of cherishing.

It seemed to be full of reluctance.

"Aoba, I can lend this book to you, but you must return it to me after you finish reading it!"

"Although there is only one volume of this book, it has been out of print because of its high sales, and it is no longer available on the market."

"You have to take good care of it!"

"I want to collect this series!"

Eaton held the book in his hand and stared at Aoba. He looked like if Aoba did not agree, he would never give the book to him.

"Okay... okay..."

Aoba nodded. He couldn't help but feel a little curious. What kind of book could make Eaton treasure it like this?

He had never seen such a book in Eaton's memory.

Obviously.

This was published after he read his memories!

Eaton stared deeply at Aoba for a while. After confirming that Aoba had agreed, the expression on his face was rather complicated.

He was full of anticipation and reluctance!

This was a very complicated emotion.

Eaton wanted to share the book he liked to read with Aoba, but he was afraid that Aoba would not know how to cherish his book.

He was afraid that Aoba would not return it to him.

He was also afraid that Aoba would destroy the book.

Not to mention destroying it, even just dirtying it, his heart would feel very uncomfortable.

"You must take good care of it!"

Eaton seemed to have gone through a series of complicated internal struggles, then placed the book in front of Aoba.

Right at this moment.

Aoba's gaze fell on the cover of the book.

He instantly saw the book's title - "Icha Icha Paradise".

Author: Jiraiya!
