CH 213

A week later.

Early morning.

Aoba walked towards the small forest behind Konoha's prison, carrying a seemingly weightless box in his hand.

Now the matter of Kumogakure's intruder had passed.

The village gradually returned to peace.

The people continued to live their normal lives.

About the war.

They were no longer as nervous as they were at the beginning.

Aoba walked into the depths of the forest and formed a seal with his hands and use Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique).

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

In an instant.

One shadow clone after another that looked exactly like Aoba appeared in the forest.

There were more than a thousand of them.

"Let's start now!"

Aoba nodded at the clones. They immediately split into several groups. Everyone went to the boxes and took out a book, ready to enter the state of reading.

Swish...

Paper after piece of paper flew around, instantly simulating Kami no Shisha no Jutsu(Paper Person of God Technique) and covering everything around him, forming a natural barrier.

After a while.

All the shadow clones here were hidden.

After that.

Aoba took a step forward.

He walked in the direction of the Konohagakure Intelligence Division.

During this period of time, he had not trained and completely avoided the current limelight of Konohagakure.

After so many days.

Konoha Military Police Force did not find any traces of Kumogakure's ninjas.

In addition, the war was approaching.

All the fighting forces in the village focused on the war.

They no longer wasted their time and energy searching the forest.

...

Konohagakure Intelligence Division compartment.

As usual, Aoba pushed the door open and walked in. His gaze fell on the Kirigakure ninja on the wooden pillar.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

Aoba's puzzled voice entered the ears of this Kirigakure ninja. It immediately made this Kirigakure ninja shudder, and his body trembled instinctively.

When he heard Aoba's voice, he already had a physiological reaction.

This person was too devilish!

He had been here for nearly ten days!

Even he himself did not know how he managed to hold on!

If it were willpower...

It would have collapsed long ago!

But if it were about the body...

He was still being taken care of by this interrogator ninja in front of him every day.

There was no way he could die even if he wanted to.

Begging for life, seeking death but not being able to!

Such words could not be more appropriate to describe him.

"You... you... When... when will you let me go?" This Kirigakure ninja felt that he was no longer a human being.

"I never intended to let you go."

Aoba said indifferently and then ignored this Kirigakure ninja.

After this period of medical research every day.

Aoba understood that this Kirigakure ninja was very tight-lipped.

But he couldn't say that he did a secret mind-reading technique in him.

Moreover, even if this person was a spy sent by Kirigakure, this person's actual value and information were not much.

Compared to the reward of reporting this person's identity.

It was far lower than him being exposed.

Then...

Aoba decided to tie him up and ask slowly!

Anyway, stealing military ration pills during the war was not a small matter.

He slowly interrogated.

The prison did not urge him.

Aoba was already prepared to treat this Kirigakure ninja as his compartment's mascot.

No matter who came in.

Take this Kirigakure ninja and stimulate him.

He can also make this guy show some residual heat!

...

Not long after.

The prison guards sent people in again.

Aoba once again returned to his normal life.

...

Konohagakure, the Hokage office.

At this time, a group of Jonin gathered in the Hokage office. They were all wearing Konohagakure's ninja uniform, and their expressions were particularly serious.

"Today, I have gathered you here. I think you all know what is going on."

Hiruzen stood in front of these people and swept his eyes over them. His deep voice echoed in everyone's ears.

As he spoke.

These ninjas did not respond.

No one spoke.

They still maintained their original posture.

"That's right!"

When Hiruzen saw that no one responded to him, he simply nodded his head.

"According to the information from the scouts in front, Kumogakure ninjas have entered the territory of the Country of Fire and are heading straight to Konohagakure!"

"There is no need for me to say anything. You all know what this means, right?"

"The war is coming!"

At this point, Hiruzen couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In the end, they still couldn't avoid this war.

"Sakumo." Hiruzen immediately looked at Konoha's White Fang and called out the latter's name.

"Yes."

Sakumo immediately responded and was ready to receive orders at any time.

"I appoint you as the chief Captain of Konohagakure's elite team, leading the elite team to meet Kumogakure Ninjas. You must stop them outside the village, and absolutely can not let them break into Konohagakure!" Said Hiruzen in a deep voice. At this time, he found that the only person he could rely on was Konoha's White Fang Sakumo.

"Yes!"

Sakumo immediately responded. His face was very serious, and he knew what this position meant. He suddenly felt that the list on his shoulder was even heavier.

"Later, you can choose your own members to fight. The Jonin is the main, and the Chunin is the auxiliary. There is no need for Genin to fight for the time being." Hiruzen explained.

"Yes!"

Everyone, including Sakumo, responded. They all understood the meaning of their Third Hokage.

Jonin and Chunin were the village's main fighting forces.

They could directly go to the battlefield to face the enemy!

Even in the unfortunate event of death...

At the very least, it will make the enemy suffer.

Genin represents the future of the village.

Usually, students who had just graduated from the Ninja School would directly be promoted to Genin.

It's very dangerous for them to go on the battlefield.

Unless the war reaches a forced stage, the resulting manpower consumption needs to let Genin also go to the battlefield to kill the enemy to protect the village.

Otherwise.

Most of the time.

Genin mainly focused on training and accumulating experience.

They would not easily let them participate in the mission of the vile nature.

This was also the reason why the ninjas were divided into levels when they received their missions.

"Hurry up and get ready."

Hiruzen waved his hand at everyone, indicating that they could go down.

Then.

The Jonins left the office one after another.

In their hearts, they had almost thought of a companion they wanted to partner up with.

Either their student.

Or in the same period.

Those who knew each other's strength and could entrust their backs to each other were the companions they would choose when they went to the battlefield.

...

At night.

Aoba completed the day's work.

Another day when he tortures the Kirigakure ninja.

This Kirigakure ninja no longer had any resistance and was completely flat. His nerves were stabbed by Aoba so that he didn't fall asleep deeply.

Aoba left Konohagakure Intelligence Division and walked into the forest. Soon, he arrived at the place where he arranged Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique).

Then.

Aoba reached out his hand and passed through Kami no Shisha no Jutsu(Paper Person of God Technique), instantly removing the barrier that blocked his vision.

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

After that.

The sound of explosions rang out.

The shadow clones returned to Aoba's body.

Almost at the same time.

The vast knowledge of information was quickly stuffed into his brain, so much so that he became absent-minded for a moment.

Aoba eased for almost five minutes and recovered from this feeling. After taking a few deep breaths, he put the scattered books into the box and returned to Anbu's dormitory.

After putting the big box back in Anbu's dormitory, Aoba changed his ninja clothes and walked towards Ramen Ichiraku Noodle House.

He hasn't been to Ramen Ichiraku for a while.

Aoba planned to go over and take a look.

He couldn't let Teuchi appear too lonely.

Ten minutes later.

Aoba came to Ramen Ichiraku Noodle House.

He pulled open the curtain and walked in.

The first thing he saw was two people wearing green tracksuits.

They were Duy and Guy.

The father and son were currently eating ramen. The two of them were extremely abnormal. They did not eat as quickly as they usually did. Instead, they slowly tasted the noodles and did not speak to each other.

Such a scene...

Aoba was immediately confused.

'What was going on?'

'This doesn't seem like the normal appearance of this father and son!'

Aoba keenly caught the abnormality of the two, but he did not say anything. He directly walked in and came in front of Teuchi.

"Brother Teuchi, give me a bowl of ramen!" Aoba said.

"Okay!"

When Teuchi saw Aoba walking in, he immediately narrowed his eyes and smiled. He warmly chatted with Aoba and said, "Today is the day that the village's Jonin and Chunin set off. Those heroes have all gone to the battlefield, and the shop has become a lot quieter."

"So that's how it is."

When Aoba heard Teuchi's words, he immediately understood what was going on.

He knew that Teuchi was not explaining why Duy and Guy were here.

He was just chatting with him.

But the content of the chat.

It just so happened to explain his doubts.

"Actually, I think it's good for Minato to go to Mount Myoboku. Otherwise, Minato will go to the battlefield now!" Teuchi continued to chat with Aoba with a smile.

"Who says it is not!"

Aoba chatted idly with Teuchi. He looked in the direction of Duy from the corner of his eyes.

Looks like...

Duy, a ten-thousand-year-old Genin, was not invited to participate in the battle.

From the expression on the father and son's faces.

It was obvious that he was upset about not being able to contribute to the village.

What kind of enlightenment was this!

Aoba looked at Duy. He thought about how the other party felt uncomfortable because he could not go to the battlefield. In contrast, he was avoiding the opportunity to go to the battlefield.

Sure enough, the ideological awareness was different!

Step step step step step step step step step step step...

However, at this time, there was a series of fine footsteps outside Ramen Ichiraku's entrance.

One by one, children around the age of Guy ran over.

Most of them were freshmen of the Ninja School.

In the Ninja School, there were many people who ridiculed Guy. After all, this kind of ninja who did not know ninjutsu was quite rare.

"It's them, father and son!"

"That's right; I heard that Guy's father wanted to fight. But in the end, they did not want him!"

"He's too weak. It's safer to stay in the village. He'll only be throwing his life away if he goes out!"

"He's just a Genin. He doesn't even know what he's thinking. He thought he could fight the Third Ninja World War!"

"Hahaha, hahaha."

The mocking voices of children the same age as Guy came from the entrance of Ramen Ichiraku.

As they spoke.

He even made faces at Duy and Guy.

After saying that.

The group of children quickly ran away.

All of a sudden.

The father and son pair, Duy and Guy, ate at a slower pace, and the atmosphere became even more oppressive.

Drip Drip!

Drip Drip!

All of a sudden.

There was the sound of water dripping.

Guy pursed his lips, and silent tears flowed down his cheeks to his chin, dripping into the soup.

"They are wrong."

However, at this time, a faint voice sounded. The owner of the voice was Aoba.

Aoba's voice immediately stunned Duy and Guy.

Especially Guy.

He turned his head and looked at Aoba.

He ignored the tears that flowed down his face.

He opened his mouth which still had noodles in it.

"What did they say wrong?"

Guy's voice was filled with unwillingness and helplessness. What made him feel the most helpless was that he could fight with them, but deep in his heart, he felt that what those children said was the truth.

"The Genin did not participate in the war. It is not that Genin is the weakest, but it is the opposite, because..."

Aoba smiled and looked at Guy. Facing the latter's puzzled gaze, he said a sentence that shook his ninja concept.

"Konohagakure's Genin is the strongest!"
