CH 287

After Aoba completed his disguise, he directly strode toward the location of the Country of Water merchants. At this time, they were still discussing and talking about the cat-faced demon.

"Shh!"

At this time, there was a shushing sound. The owner of the voice was the leader of the Country of Water merchant. Just that shushing was enough to reveal his dissatisfaction.

"Can you guys pay attention to what you are saying? We are still in Konohagakure. If people hear it and arrest us, If you want to come out, it will not be so easy."

The merchant leader said coldly. His tone was filled with deep dissatisfaction and helplessness.

As the saying goes, disaster comes from the mouth.

Now he felt it too obvious. In the past, these merchants who followed him liked to talk.

They liked to say irrelevant words. At that time, he didn't stop them, which led to today's tragedy.

They could have walked out of Konohagakure Intelligence Division unscathed, but they were caught back ridiculously.

He really can't take it anymore!

The merchant leader didn't want this to happen again.

As the merchant leader finished speaking, the other merchants all shut their mouths. They all knew that the leader was right.

Back then, they wanted to cry but had no tears.

It turned out that it was so easy to go out. It seems that the cat-faced demon was right. He really let them go, but they just stood there and didn't leave.

Not only the problem of not leaving. They even stood in front of the compartment's door and scolded the cat-faced demon. In the end, the result was… their first time was gone!

Right now, most of them have only suffered superficial injuries. These injuries were not big, but the process of getting these injuries was extremely horrifying, making them unable to see the hope of leaving alive.

The mental pressure they suffered was extremely great.

Thinking back now, it was especially terrifying. Their minds were filled with memories that terrified them.

Among these Country of Water merchants, the one who suffered the most serious injuries was the one whose hand had been cut off. Other than that person, everyone else only had superficial wounds.

"You guys still dare to come!"

At this moment, a low voice rang out, clearly transmitted into the ears of these merchants.

These Country of Water merchants looked over almost in an instant. Their gazes were fixed on a person wearing a cloak, and the expressions of these merchants all changed.

They all looked at the person wearing the cloak and hood.

"Who are you?"

The merchant leader said in a deep voice. After the matter with Konohagakure Intelligence Division's compartment, he had become much more cautious.

The person who was watched by these merchants was Aoba, who had just transformed into Satsuma Rentaro through Kami no Shisha no Jutsu(Paper Person of God Technique)'s transformation.

"It's me."

Aoba slowly opened his mouth. As he spoke, he lifted the hood on his head, revealing his entire face in front of everyone.

"Rentaro?!"

Everyone, including the merchant leader, stared with their eyes wide open full of disbelief.

For so many years, these merchants had often worked together with the few Kirigakure spies remaining in Konohagakure.

Those Kirigakure spies told the information they had gathered to the Country of Water merchants. Then these Country of Water merchants would send the information back.

Among these spies, there was Satsuma Rentaro.

Aoba had once seen this method of transmission in Satsuma Rentaro's memory. He wanted to go fishing and pass the wrong information to the Country of Water, just like how he passed the wrong information to the Third Kazekage.

However, the other party did not give him a chance at all. This was the first time that the Country of Water merchant had come here again ever since Satsuma Rentaro was killed by him.

The main reason why these merchants had come here was to gather information if Konohagakure had any news about Satsuma Rentaro.

They had not even started yet. Satsuma Rentaro had appeared in front of them by himself.

Wasn't this too easy...

All of a sudden, everyone had a very strange thought in their hearts. They faintly felt that something was wrong. After all, things that happen too easily could always be fake.

However, they experience it not too long ago. The cat-faced demon released them in a very simple manner.

If they were to look back at it. Perhaps it really wasn't much. It was possible that some things had happened so coincidentally.

"What are you guys doing!"

Aoba imitated Satsuma Rentaro's tone. He had already imitated this person countless times and had already gained experience.

"You were actually arrested and sent to Konohagakure Intelligence Division. Fortunately, nothing happened. Otherwise, the problem would be serious!"

Aoba's indifferent voice revealed a tone of reproach, and it seemed that he was very dissatisfied with the performance of these Country of Water merchants.

This kind of preconceived blame. All the merchants present fell silent.

These merchants were all brought into this mood. Although they were a little confused and did not know why Satsuma Rentaro suddenly appeared in front of them. After all, this was not consistent with the information they had obtained.

But...

This kind of feeling was completely like someone else was playing, which was a very strange feeling.

In a split second, the eyes of these merchants were all focused on Aoba, and their gazes were all different.

However, they already understood. Before you figure out what exactly happened, don't talk nonsense; otherwise, it might cause a bad result.

Aoba felt the gazes of these people, and his expression did not change. However, he felt that it was quite interesting.

These Country of Water merchants would never have thought that the Satsuma Rentaro standing in front of them right now was the cat-faced demon who had just ravaged and tortured them not long ago.

"This is not the place to talk. Take me to a quiet place." After looking around the crowd, Aoba finally landed on the merchant leader and nodded at him.

"Come with me."

The merchant leader also felt that this matter was a little strange, but he did not completely feel that there was something wrong with Satsuma Rentaro, so he could only bring this person to the warehouse that they were temporarily using.

These warehouses were temporarily rented by the Country of Water merchants, where they stored the seafood goods they transported here.

The warehouse was extremely damp, and the surrounding air was filled with the smell of the sea. It was very quiet, and there were no people hanging around. It can be said that it was a place where you could talk.

As the Country of Water merchants entered one after another, Aoba followed behind them and finally stopped in a quiet corner.

"I don't know why you came to Konohagakure at this time. However, if I am not wrong, you should want to investigate my information, right?" Aoba looked around at these Country of Water merchants. Although he said that he was guessing, he had already read the memories of these people. If they were playing card games. The key was not his own cards, but his opponent's cards were clear.

"Yes."

The merchant leader hesitated for a moment before slowly nodding his head. After hearing Aoba say these words according to Satsuma Rentaro's tone, he became more and more convinced in his heart that this person was Satsuma Rentaro.

Not only this merchant leader but also the other merchants all nodded their heads repeatedly, expressing their agreement with what Aoba had just said.

"You guys are indeed here to look for me!"

Aoba suddenly had a feeling that he had guessed correctly. Then, his gaze changed slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. He raised his head slightly, allowing everyone to see his face even more clearly.

"Biwa Juzo-sama sent you here, right?"

Aoba slowly said. It was as if he had made a very casual guess. Right now, he did not need any special guesses and wisdom at all. Just by relying on the huge advantage brought about by the lack of information, he was able to crush these Country of Water merchants to death.

"Yes!"

Everyone, including the merchant leader, nodded at Aoba. They now completely believed Aoba's words. After all, not many people in the Country of Water knew about this, let alone Satsuma Rentaro, who was far away from Konohagakure.

"Biwa Juzo-sama is still too anxious!" Aoba sighed.

"Rentaro, why are you in Konohagakure? According to Jozu-sama, you should have been captured by Gasshi!" The merchant leader immediately asked Aoba. There were many question marks in his head, but he still chose a key point. After all, according to the information he got, Satsuma Rentaro was taken away by Gasshi after leaving Konohagakure.

"It's a long story. I don't want to explain too much to you about what happened here. You just need to know that Gasshi's follow-up mission has changed. He is no longer going to save Hari but killing Hari. Then, we reached a consensus. That's all." Aoba waved his hand at these merchants. He especially used a special way of speaking "He didn't want to explain to you, but what he did was still an explanation".

This would bring some hints to these merchants. There seemed to be a lot of things here, but this was just an insignificant matter.

However, they would send this matter back to Kirigakure and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

"Konohagakure is not at peace right now. If you have nothing else to do, you should hurry back. And I have something to tell you to tell Biwa Juzo-sama." Aoba said coldly.

"Yes!"

The merchants responded in unison. They had completely believed Aoba's words and regarded him as Satsuma Rentaro. They then looked at Aoba with even deeper doubts, and everyone wanted to know.

What news would Rentaro want to send back?

Although their normal profession was a merchant, they would still be very curious about what information they would send.

It could be said that...

Not only were they sending information, but they were also satisfying their own gossipy hearts.

"Tell Biwa Juzo-sama that I am still in Konohagakure, and I am still doing spying work."

Under the gazes of these people, Aoba slowly opened his mouth. His eyes flashed with a bright light, and he began to say the words he had prepared in his mind to these Country of Water merchants.

"You must pass the following information to Biwa Juzo-sama accurately. and ask him to report it to the Mizukage-sama."

Aoba's tone became serious as if he was warning these merchants. His voice became even more serious.

"First, the attack of Kirigakure against Kumogakure has already been known by Konohagakure's people, but it should not be transmitted to Kumogakure now. Therefore, you have to make them make a choice as soon as possible. Either you hold Konohagakure and prevent anyone from reporting this matter to Kumogakure at any time, or you have to take precautions against Kumogakure. You have to make a move against Kumogakure before they could react." Aoba directly mentioned the first point and gave them the solution to this matter.

Then, these Country of Water merchants nodded repeatedly. They could understand what Aoba meant, and they could understand these words even more.

However, if they were to think about it themselves, they would not be able to think of these things. This was the difference in ability.

The merchant leader immediately took out a notebook and began to record the information that Aoba had mentioned.

When he was ready to go back, he would personally report it to Biwa Juzo.

Right now, he does not dare to let his subordinates record it. If there were any more problems, he really could not bear it.

"Second point, according to my investigation, there are some problems within Kumogakure. There are two different objectives in Kumogakure's envoy group. Kumogakure Advisor and Gasshi's goal is to kill Hari and ensure that the war goes on; Brei, on the other hand, intends to rescue Hari. Because of this, there was a conflict between the two sides, and in the end, Brei killed the Kumogakure Advisor. Now that Brei and Gasshi have gone missing, if we want to deal with Kumogakure, we might as well use these things to put on an act. It may also cause cracks from the inside." Aoba raised his second finger and said.

After hearing Aoba's words, the Country of Water merchants no longer had any doubts. This method of intelligence and judgment. Not just anyone could do it.

Not only did they have to ensure the importance of the information, but they also had to have a great view of the situation, and their minds needed to be particularly clear.

To be able to say such content and insight. That was definitely not something that anyone could do.

At this point in time, these merchants had already understood why the Seven Ninja Swordsmen cared so much about the existence of Satsuma Rentaro.

The merchant leader quickly recorded Aoba's words. These contents could completely prove Rentaro's identity.

"At three o'clock, when I was following Gasshi, I found a piece of information. Now, it is not completely confirmed. There is a seventy to eighty percent chance that it is true. That is, Gasshi launched a sneak attack on Sunagakure's Third Kazekage. This kind of action will inevitably offend the Country of Wind and Sunagakure. In addition, Iwagakure, who had been watching from the side, and Konohagakure, who was fighting with Kumogakure, it can be said that Kumogakure is now in a phase of being attacked from all sides. If it can be done, try to unite with the other villages and take this wonderful opportunity to attack Kumogakure together!"

Aoba directly gave the third point.

As a whole, All three points were pointed at Kumogakure. In any case, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen had already attacked Kumogakure, so he might as well start a war between Kumogakure and Kirigakure.

The fragile agreement between the two villages had long existed in name.

Aoba intends to use this method to guide Kirigakure to attack Kumogakure when the merchants pass the information.

This way, it would be difficult for Kumogakure to send more ninjas.

After that, the entire world would fall into a tense atmosphere, and finally, this Third World Ninja War that was about to happen became particularly chaotic.

"Yes!"

The merchant leader immediately responded. He quickly recorded it in the notebook in his hand.

For a moment, the eyes of the merchants at the scene had subtly changed when they looked at Aoba.

'Too awesome!'

'He actually had so much information.'

'It was simply unimaginable.'

They could not believe it. There were so many things happening between Kumogakure and Kirigakure. The most important thing was… These Country of Water merchants all received a very important piece of information.

That was, Kirigakure wanted to fight with Kumogakure.

"There's one last point!"

At this time, Aoba's voice slowly rang out, once again focusing the attention of these merchants on him.

"According to the reliable information I obtained, Hari is currently not dead. Instead, he remains by Danzo's side in a crippled state. It is very likely that he has become Danzo's subordinate. Regarding this matter, spread the news and let Kumogakure know about it. This will allow them to have internal strife and finally obtain unexpected gains."

After Aoba finished speaking, the corners of his mouth curled up even higher. Right now, he was using Kirigakure as a spear to stab Kumogakure!
