CH 225

When Aoba said that.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

As long as there was a way.

Then there was a possibility of saving Kirigakure's future.

As long as there was even a glimmer of hope.

They would not give up so easily!

Aoba looked around at the seven people, and then his eyes fell on Jūzō.

"I just said that Kumogakure's spy will come out from the front of Konohagakure tomorrow morning with the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu and rush toward Kumogakure's camp. We can use this opportunity to snatch the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu back."

Aoba's eyes flashed with a bright light. Now, after his provocation, the seven had already shifted their attention to Kumogakure. This would no longer pose any threat to Konohagakure.

Not only that.

With the participation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

It would change the situation of the entire Third Ninja World War.

This allowed the Ninja World to enter a completely new pattern!

"It makes a lot of sense."

Jūzō nodded. He understood what Aoba meant. The root of everything was the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu. Everything would be fine as long as they obtained the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu.

"Is it that simple?"

Suikazan Fuguki was stunned for a moment. He had thought that this Rentaro in front of him had a better way. He had never thought that they would directly rob it.

The other people were also staring at Aoba in a daze. They never thought that he would say such a simple and crude method.

All of a sudden.

These people were all dumbfounded.

"Hahahahaha! Of course!"

Aoba suddenly laughed, 'If I don't let you steal it, how can you have a conflict with Kumogakure? Can I give it to you for free?'

"But..."

Aoba put away the smile on his face, and his expression instantly became serious. The change in his expression once again affected the hearts of the seven people.

"Even if we rob them directly, we must have a strategy. We can't blindly attack!"

As Aoba spoke, he took out a notebook from his pocket and show it to the seven people.

Then.

Aoba took out a pen.

This action immediately made all seven of them look confused.

Their minds were full of question marks.

They had no idea what Aoba was going to do.

Under the puzzled gazes of these seven people, Aoba lifted the book, took the pen, and drew a half circle on it.

"This is Konohagakure's map..."

Aoba had only drawn a half-circle, and there was not even an extra detail. Compared to those painters on the Internet, it could be said that there was not even a soul.

It was completely an extremely simple map.

After that.

Aoba drew a vertical line at the back of the half-circle and then drew a small square in the middle of the corresponding half-circle of the vertical line.

"This line is Konohagakure's Hokage Rock. This is Konohagakure's Entrance. Tomorrow morning, Kumogakure's spy will walk out from this entrance. Then I will follow behind him and send a signal to you when he goes out."

Aoba held the drawing in his hand and gestured to the seven people, giving them no idea what kind of expression to put on.

'What kind of drawing is this...'

'There was no detailed at all!'

'To put it nicely, it was called Konohagakure's map. But to put it bluntly, it was only a semi-circle.'

'Could this also be called a map?'

Jūzō silently cursed in his heart, but he did not say it out. After all, he could see that this Rentaro was doing his best and could not break the other party's confidence.

'Only...'

'This drawing...'

'Forget it.'

Jūzō gave up on continuing to look at this drawing in his heart. Even if he had never entered Konohagakure, he could still find Konohagakure's entrance. This drawing could be said to have no soul at all.

"You guys will hide around here..."

Aoba picked up the pen and drew the line at the front of Konohagakure's entrance. It just so happened that there was a forest outside the main road, so there was a place to hide.

"When I send the signal tomorrow, let's go together and capture that Kumogakure spy. Get the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu and then go back to Kirigakure together!"

Aoba arranged the whole thing. Everything he did was according to his plan. This plan would unfold according to his script.

Aoba's idea was very simple.

Since it was because of his arrival, this little butterfly that had accidentally entered the Ninja World caused the history of the Ninja World to change after flapping its wings, allowing the Third Ninja World War to arrive early in such a way. Then, he did not mind adding another piece of material to the Third Ninja World War, making this battle more complicated and intense.

He could not let Kumogakure alone make a profit.

It was best to pull all the villages in.

Both sides would greatly consume their strength.

No one will have a good time.

When everyone was injured, they would stop.

Then everyone began to heal their injuries in peace and entered the relatively peaceful new era of the Ninja World.

"Rentaro, I don't quite understand. Isn't he just a Kumogakure spy? In terms of strength, he is at most Chunin. Do you need us to set up an ambush and attack him together?" Jūzō asked in confusion. As Kirigakure's elite Jonin, he had his own pride. He did not want to treat such a person with a conspiracy and siege.

" Jūzō is right. Kumogakure's spy will definitely not surpass Chunin. We can deal with him by ourselves. There is nothing to worry about it. Moreover, what is the point of hiding and waiting for the signal? Tell us his location. We will directly break into Konohagakure tonight and take him down!" Suikazan Fuguki said disdainfully. He was holding the Samehada used by future Hoshigaki Kisame.

"That's right, I think so too!"

"There's no need to carry out any more schemes, right?"

"It's just Chunin."

"..."

The rest of the seven people also nodded. They all agreed with Jūzō; that was, there was no need to use a siege posture at all. As long as they made a move with their fingers, they could solve it easily.

"I think you shouldn't underestimate the enemy!"

Aoba's voice suddenly became serious. His eyes stared at the seven people seriously, and he was in a very serious state.

"If I am not wrong, there is someone behind Kumogakure's spy. That person will go with him tomorrow. I don't know that person's identity for the time being, but I am sure that he definitely has above Jonin's strength."

Aoba's gaze once again swept over the seven people, and finally fell on Jūzō.

"Jūzō-sama, we are ninjas. What we need to do is to complete the mission given by the village. We are not here to start a war. Although you are all important figures of Kirigakure, and I am just a small spy. In this situation, I, as a spy, can see more clearly. After all, we were doing it for the big picture of Kirigakure!"

Aoba's eyes flashed. He had already put himself into the role of Rentaro. He did not make these up, nor were they made up feelings. They were completely obtained from Rentaro's memory.

Only those who had truly experienced the life of a spy could experience the most dangerous things that a spy would experience.

Every decision and action must be careful, or they may be discovered at any time, thus sacrificing their lives for the village.

Actually...

For the spies.

Death was still a small matter.

There would be no problem if he could die smoothly and take some medicine to disturb his nerves before he died.

He was afraid that if he were a little careless and did not die, he would face a long period of torture that was worse than death. It was very cruel and cold.

They all had one common characteristic, whether it was Kirigakure's spies or the spies of other villages.

They were all thinking about the village.

The big picture was the most important.

No one was selfish and only thinks about themselves.

If that was the case.

It would be very difficult to survive in the career of a spy.

Even if Kabuto were as strong as he was when he was a spy, he would suppress those thoughts at the bottom of his heart and do his best for his current master to complete all the tasks his master had proposed.

When Aoba said this.

The seven ninjas including Jūzō all fell silent.

The way they looked at Aoba suddenly became different.

They became respectful.

In the past, they did not care about spies at all.

Now they suddenly realized that spies were the same ninja as them, just that their respective roles were different, and they even understood the spirit of sacrifice better than them.

Thinking of this.

Jūzō took a deep breath.

"Rentaro, I'm sorry. It was our fault just now. We shouldn't have underestimated the enemy." Jūzō said seriously. This person was quite cute. He was someone who could afford to let go, not someone who only insisted on his own opinion.

Aoba glanced at Jūzō and nodded. He needed to vent some emotions to let these people stand on his side. He believed that they were in the same camp for the same goal.

"My lords, listen to me. Our goal is the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu. We will complete the mission as long as we get the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu and bring it back to Kirigakure safely. We will be the heroes of the village." Aoba stared at the seven people and said seriously. His tone and attitude were very honest, and he looked like an honest man who could not tell lies.

"That's right!"

Jūzō nodded.

The other members of Seven Ninja Swordsmen also nodded.

They all felt that what Aoba said was very reasonable.

"We can fight at any time, but now is the best time for Kirigakure to undergo a transformation from his creation. We absolutely can't pull our legs at this time."

Aoba began to explain the importance of this task to the seven of them.

Determined the enemy.

Determined the importance of it.

After these extremely important things were built up in their heart.

He has subtly raised the importance of the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu to Seven Ninja Swordsmen to a terrifying level.

At this time.

In the hearts of the seven people.

The Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu was already on par with Kirigakure's future.

For the sake of Kirigakure's future.

They could pay any price.

Even if they had to sacrifice their lives!

"If we rashly break into Konohagakure at this time, no matter whether it poses a threat to Konohagakure or not, we will become Konohagakure's mortal enemy!"

Aoba continued to explain. He already had the right to speak here, and every word he said was recognized by the seven people.

"Right now, the most important thing for us, Kirigakure, is to develop. What we need to grasp is not the gains and losses of a small matter, but the future of the entire village."

When Aoba said this, the seven ninjas nodded.

The more they listened, the more they felt that it was very reasonable.

There was no need to care about that at all.

This made them admire Aoba even more.

To be precise, they admired Rentaro.

When they looked at Aoba, who was disguised as Rentaro, they thought of a word.

'Layout.'

This was a difference in the layout but a different vision.

"If we offend Konohagakure now, Konohagakure might attack Kirigakure after this period of time. That way, our Kirigakure's development will stagnate, and our strength will weaken, resulting in extremely unnecessary casualties. And that's just because we're unwilling to ambush, but did impulsive actions..."

Aoba's words were like sharp knives that directly pierced into the hearts of the seven people, especially Suikazan Fuguki, who just wanted to fight.

For a moment.

The faces of the seven people showed guilt.

The flames of impulse in their hearts.

All of them were also extinguished.

Each and every one of them showed unprecedented calmness.

They began to listen to Aoba talk about the plan seriously, then calmly and seriously analyze it.

"This is also why I said that we should launch a sneak attack. We can't offend Konohagakure, and we can't offend Kumogakure. Tomorrow, after you deal with that Kumogakure spy, I will forge the scene as Konohagakure's ninja. That way, we will achieve our goal of taking away the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu and also blame the crime of stealing the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu on Kumogakure, then let Konohagakure bear the crime of killing Kumogakure's ninja. This way, we, Kirigakure, can withdraw and get the greatest benefits, bear the lowest price, embrace the future, and develop steadily."

Aoba said one sentence after another. From his words, he had already arranged for the Kirigakure finale.

These words directly stunned the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

Everyone stared at Aoba with wide eyes.

They were amazed by Aoba's words.

Their brains were not particularly smart. They would not have thought of these things themselves, but after you told them, they could understand it.

"Wonderful!"

Jūzō took the lead and applauded. The way he looked at Aoba changed again and again. He finally understood why this spy named Rentaro could become an Anbu ninja.

This talent was overflowing!

With such wisdom, no matter where he was, he could shine.

Jūzō couldn't help but start to rejoice. He thought that Kirigakure had such a person. It was simply the luck of the village.

"Rentaro, you are really amazing. I have never seen anyone's wisdom reach your level. You have wisdom and a layout. You can understand the situation and be the calmest in carrying out missions. I really think you should return to Kirigakure!"

He had already seen the shadow of Elder Gen on Aoba.

Perhaps...

A few years later.

The spy in front of him was called Rentaro.

It was very likely that he could become the new generation of higher-ups in Kirigakure.

With such a person overseeing Kirigakure.

Why would he worry that Kirigakure would not have a bright future?

Now, Jūzō felt that it was a waste for Rentaro to continue being a spy. Kirigakure, who had obtained the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu, needed this kind of talent to come back and develop. There was enough room for development there.

"This is all taught well by Gen-sama!"

Aoba instinctively threw out the benefits and maintained a humble posture.

This was a habit that Aoba brought over from modern society.

Since ancient times, anyone liked to listen to nice words, which was the eternal truth.

Aoba had no interpersonal communication ability, nor was he an EQ master. Whether it was in modern society or in the Ninja World, he only had one or two friends and guarded his own small circle. But he was rarely hated and got many opportunities because he had mastered a core password --- flattery.

If there were a chance, Aoba would shoot, and he will never raise the bar if he can say something good.

Of course.

This point.

Except for when he was online.

Although Aoba and many people were just acquaintances, especially when it came to working, he was definitely a subordinate that higher-ups and bosses liked very much.

For Aoba.

He didn't mind saying something nice at all.

He could make others feel good just by moving his mouth, and others could make him feel comfortable when they felt good, so why not?

After Aoba skillfully transferred Jūzō's praise to Gen, his expression became serious again.

"Listen to me..."

"Tomorrow's mission must be extremely fast and accurate."

"If you can ambush and win, you must not fight head-on!"

"If you can kill him in one hit, you must not leave the opponent any time to breathe."

"Take away the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu and retreat immediately."

"Do your best not to expose your identity."

"Everything is for Kirigakure!"

Aoba clenched his fists and instilled his theory into the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. After these people heard it, they couldn't help but nod their heads, feeling that it was very reasonable.

"Tomorrow, I will come out with that Kumogakure spy. When I feel that the time is right, I will call out..."

When Aoba said this, his voice suddenly paused. He wanted to find a suitable special secret signal, but he did not think of anything at the moment.

Aoba felt the gazes of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and immediately blurted out.

"Za Warudo!"
