"No!"

Aoba immediately imitated Satsuma Rentaro's voice and stopped Biwa Jūzō who was about to barge in.

"Why not?"

Jūzō did not barge in. He stood outside the barrier and stared at Aoba.

Jūzō was not a brainless person.

Otherwise, he would not have become the leader of the seven ninja swordsmen.

As for Konohagakure.

He was not very familiar with it.

However, he knew that this Satsuma Rentaro in front of him was familiar with it. After all, he had already infiltrated Konohagakure for many years.

"That's because..."

Aoba stared at Jūzō. He deliberately dragged out his words, affecting the latter's mood, and then took out the words he had prepared beforehand.

Now that he saw this person at a relatively close distance, Aoba suddenly felt that it was quite cute.

It was different from what he had imagined.

He thought that this person would look very terrifying.

"After Kumogakure's spy attacked me, I already saw his appearance and knew his plan," Aoba said with a serious face.

"What is his plan?" Jūzō followed Aoba's words and asked.

"He will leave Konohagakure tonight and take the scroll to the direction of Kumogakure's battlefield. Then he will return to Kumogakure." Aoba said in a low voice. As long as they were willing to listen to his story, things would be in his rhythm.

"Why?"

Jūzō frowned. He stared at Aoba in confusion and asked, "That thing is useless to Kumogakure."

After asking this question, Jūzō suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He immediately stared at Aoba.

His eyes were filled with doubt.

Just like this.

Jūzō stared at Aoba suspiciously for a full ten seconds.

"Satsuma Rentaro, you're not lying to me, are you?"

Jūzō stared at Aoba. Right now, he could not easily enter Konohagakure's barrier. There was no way to verify the identity of this Satsuma Rentaro in front of him.

He immediately became cautious.

He was the leader of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

He absolutely can't be fooled so easily!

"Jūzō-sama, how could I lie to you?" Aoba was obviously stunned for a moment, then revealed a bitter smile and said, "How about this, you can first confirm my identity so that the next topic can be easier."

"Who sent you here?" Jūzō asked directly. Through this question, he could judge half of it.

"Gen-sama," Aoba answered without hesitation. After he said this, Jūzō no longer doubted Aoba's identity.

"What is the secret code?" Jūzō asked again; since he had already asked. He has to go through the process, and he has to ask the last half clearly.

"Snake Head," Aoba replied without hesitation. After he finished speaking, all seven of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen nodded, and they had already determined that Aoba was Satsuma Rentaro.

"You know that it is a scroll. Do you know what is recorded in it?" Jūzō asked again. When he asked this question, his eyes changed slightly because he did not know what was inside. He was just taking the opportunity to get some information out of it.

"The Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu from the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama," Aoba said firmly. He knew that Jūzō didn't know anything. He wanted to use this method to ask what this thing was. He also wanted to tell these seven people.

"Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu!"

The seven ninjas exclaimed. As Kirigakure's ninjas, they almost all knew that the one who played the best in water release was not Kirigakure's ninjas, but Konohagakure's Second Hokage.

"Is it really the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu?" Suikazan Fuguki exclaimed loudly. He couldn't even believe his ears. His eyes were wide open, and his entire person was in a state of shock.

"I had previously guessed that Elder Gen had his eyes on the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu. It seems that my guess was correct!" Kuriarare Kushimaru looked as if I had already guessed it.

"Elder Gen is a member of the Hozuki clan. Their Hydrification technique and the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu can perfectly fit together. Now that I think about it, it's not too much." Akebino Jinin nodded silently. He revealed a secret that even Aoba did not know about.

"Damn it! The Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu was actually taken away by Kumogakure!" On the other hand, Munashi Jinpachi was showing signs of anger.

"I don't understand. Why does Kumogakure want the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu?" Kurosuki Raiga asked in confusion.

These people chimed in one after another.

Everyone looked toward Aoba.

They wanted to get an answer from Aoba.

"Satsuma Rentaro, hurry up and tell me what happened," Jūzō asked Aoba.

"It's like this..."

Aoba slowly opened his mouth, preparing to tell the seven of them a new version of the story with his superb screenwriting skills.

"After that Kumogakure spy attacked me, I set my eyes on him. I just happened to find out their secrets."

As Aoba said this, he looked at the seven people in front of him, his eyes flashing with confidence.

"I don't know what Kumogakure told us. What benefits did he give us, or what he promised..."

Aoba deliberately added this sentence.

Because according to Satsuma Rentaro's memory, he had been sent to Konohagakure a long time ago, and he had no chance to know about this kind of thing.

Therefore, it was right to not know.

If he knew, there would be a problem.

Jūzō after hearing Aoba's word. He turned to look at Suikazan Fuguki next to him and nodded at the same time.

"Kumogakure said that they attracted all the power of Konohagakure to the front battlefield. The back of the village is in a state of emptiness. If we launch a sneak attack now, there is a high chance of killing the Third Hokage and taking the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu!" Suikazan Fuguki said in a deep voice. In his mouth, the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu was already theirs.

"This is the problem!"

Aoba immediately nodded. This was what he had been waiting for. It was no different from what he had guessed. It was that Kumogakure had used Kirigakure.

Kumogakure did not betray his allies.

The word of Suikazan Fuguki was completely correct.

Aoba was inside Konohagakure.

He was very clear about the things in the village.

It was like this now.

Konohagakure was extremely empty inside. The Jonins, who basically had the strength to fight, had all gone to the frontline to fight with Kumogakure.

If the Seven Ninjas Swordsmen really rushed in and fought against the Third Hokage for three hundred rounds, even if there were casualties, they might really be able to kill the Third Hokage.

This was a matter with a high probability of success!

"Things are not what Kumogakure said at all!"

Aoba began to display his full acting skill. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes flashed with wisdom.

"I have always been in Konohagakure. I am very familiar with the situation inside the village..."

Aoba first told them that he knew Konohagakure's environment to make the seven people believe his words.

With this foreshadowing,

The seven people nodded their heads. They understood what Aoba meant. None of them had been to Konohagakure before. They were indeed not as familiar as this Satsuma Rentaro in front of them.

"Ever since Kumogakure's envoy group was attacked by the Third Hokage."

Aoba continued after seeing that the seven were listening to him.

"Kumogakure Anbu Leader, Hari, was directly caught!"

"It is because of this reason that Kumogakure did not attack Konohagakure too strongly. They have always been holding back!"

"Moreover, Kumogakure is still looking for a chance to negotiate. They want to ensure Hari's life!"

Aoba began to trick them one by one. The contents of his words were clearly transmitted to the ears of the seven ninjas. They immediately fell silent.

"Then why did Kumogakure let us come to Konohagakure?" Jūzō asked in a deep voice. He had already vaguely guessed the answer in his heart, but he just wanted to hear Aoba say it himself so that he would know that he had guessed wrong.

"This matter is like this..."

Aoba was not afraid of them asking, nor was he afraid of asking even though they knew the answer. He was afraid that they would not ask.

If they did not ask.

It was hard to continue.

Suddenly.

Aoba slowly opened his mouth and said a series of words that made the seven people angry.

"Kumogakure asked us, Kirigakure, to sneak attack. In the name of it, they attracted all the main forces away. In fact, they wanted us to be the cannon fodder!"

"Konohagakure's elite forces are all in the village right now. They haven't been sent out at all. They are guarding Kumogakure Anbu Leader, Hari, in the village."

"Now, everyone in Konohagakure knows that Kumogakure will come to save Hari, so they set up a solid defense, waiting for the people who save Hari to come."

"The reason why Kumogakure sent us, Kirigakure, is obviously to attract Konohagakure's firepower and exhaust their elite ninjas' strength. Then, they will follow closely behind and rescue Hari in one fell swoop."

Aoba directly combined the matter of Kumogakure's envoy group with the current situation. After several times of editing, this matter indeed sounded like this.

"How ruthless!"

After listening to Aoba's words, Jūzō suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

He had never thought that Kumogakure was actually so sinister and cunning!

They were using such a disgusting method to make use of them and even pretended to be in an alliance with them.

"If Konohagakure's arrangement was indeed to guard Hari, after the seven of us entered, even if we could come out alive, we might not all come out..."
