CH 289

Fugaku's deep voice rang out and clearly entered Aoba's ears. In a split second, Aoba felt a burning sensation behind him.

"Suiton: Suijinheki(Water Release: Water Formation Wall)!"

Aoba immediately clapped his hands and quickly made hand seals. Because his back was facing Fugaku, the latter did not even look at the simplified hand seals he made.

Water suddenly appeared around Aoba's body. The spinning water directly formed a wall of water. The black flame burned on the water wall and immediately became water vapors.

With the appearance of the water vapor. It directly blocked Fugaku's sight. Aoba's figure also disappeared.

"It really is Amaterasu!"

Aoba stood on a branch. After Fugaku said that this technique was not easy to control, he guessed that it would be Amaterasu. Aoba's gaze then focused on Fugaku's face. He could clearly see two lines of blood tears flowing down from Fugaku's face.

Aoba was very clear.

Amaterasu was known as the highest level of Fire Release, and it was also known as an attack that was absolutely impossible to escape once you were caught.

That was a move that only people who had opened Mangekyo Sharingan could use.

In the place where the vision of Mangekyo Sharingan was focused, there would be black flames, which had extremely high temperatures and destructive power. An ordinary defense could not withstand the attack of this black flame.

This black flame could not be extinguished even by water. As long as the target was not completely burned, it could burn for a full seven days and seven nights.

Not only that.

When using Amaterasu, the pressure generated by the eyes would be a great burden to the body. So when used, the eyes would bleed.

Aoba was very clear about these things. After all, he used to be an old otaku.

When he watched Naruto at that time, he felt that this ninjutsu was very cool; it was a technique that could kill people with just a glare.

But later, he slowly found out. This technique was indeed a technique that could kill people with just a glare, but the damage it caused to the user was far greater than the damage to the opponent.

It was a completely self-destructive technique.

"Interesting!"

Aoba muttered to himself as he lowered his head to look at Fugaku.

"Uchiha Itachi's right eye has Amaterasu, Uchiha Sasuke's left eye has Amaterasu, and their father Uchiha Fugaku has Amaterasu in both of his eyes..."

While Aoba was thinking about this matter. Fugaku, who was standing below, suddenly raised his head. He didn't even care to know how this Kirigakure ninja appeared above. Right now, he just wanted to catch this Kirigakure ninja.

"Amaterasu!"

Fugaku's eyes widened, and he once again displayed Amaterasu, this extremely destructive fire release ninjutsu.

In a split second, a hot feeling once again appeared on Aoba's body.

"Suiton: Suijinheki(Water Release: Water Formation Wall)!"

Aoba quickly formed seals with both hands. He was still using the water wall from before. At the same time, he immediately used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique), allowing him to leave Fugaku's line of sight quickly. This was the method that Aoba had used earlier.

The moment Amaterasu's Black Flame appeared on his body, he used the water current generated by the water formation wall to isolate the black flame from his body, thus preventing him from being harmed. Not only that, Aoba immediately used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique).

When Aoba was running, he would always leave a Flying Thunder God Formula on the tree trunk every few trees. Right now, he was just using it.

"This technique of yours that is not very easy to control can't hit me at all!"

Aoba's voice was suffused with a strong provocation, and it sounded as if he didn't put Fugaku in his eyes.

"Where are you hiding?"

The line of sight in Fugaku's eyes became blurred. For him to use Amaterasu twice in a row, not only did he consume a lot of chakras, but it also made his body bear the backlash and did not have much strength.

He was wrong!

Fugaku now deeply realized that using Amaterasu just now was a wrong choice. Not only did he fail to catch that Kirigakure ninja. On the contrary, he had lost his strength.

Now, it could be said...

As long as that Kirigakure ninja wanted to run away, he would never be able to catch up.

Because of this, he wanted to use words to stimulate this person. After that, he would slowly recover his chakra and would be able to fight again.

After all, he had just obtained Mangekyo Sharingan not long ago, so he didn't have any actual combat experience in using it.

"I have always heard that the endurance of your Uchiha clan is not good, but now it seems that it is true. You only moved a few times, but you already lost your strength; this is not good!"

Aoba's faint voice resounded in the forest, clearly drilling into Fugaku's ears.

These words immediately made Fugaku feel a deep sense of humiliation. But there was nothing he could do. He was indeed tired. Now, his vision had become blurry, his entire mind was dazed, and his eyes were very painful.

"Uchiha Fugaku, we will meet again in the future. I am among Konohagakure. If you have the ability, find me!"

Aoba imitated Satsuma Rentaro's voice and threw down these words.

Just after he finished speaking, he immediately flashed out and disappeared. His speed was extremely fast, and after a few jumps, he disappeared without a trace.

Fugaku stood on the ground and panted heavily.

The backlash from using Amaterasu twice in a row had not completely subsided yet. This made him feel as if his body had been hollowed out. He felt an indescribable feeling of exhaustion all over his body.

For a moment, he felt that even moving was very tiring. He could not catch up with Aoba's footsteps and could only watch as Aoba disappeared in front of him.

"Damn it!"

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't use Amaterasu!"

"I actually let him run away in front of me!"

Fugaku suddenly slapped his thigh. He felt extremely vexed. If he hadn't used Amaterasu and if he had used any other fire release ninjutsu, he would have been able to cause a certain degree of trouble for this Kirigakure ninja in front of him. Moreover, he wouldn't look so tired.

"There's no other way."

Fugaku supported his waist with his right hand. He felt his waist was extremely sore. His left hand gently wiped the blood tears on his face. Because of the huge consumption of his body, he felt a little hungry.

"Go to Ramen Ichiraku!"

Fugaku helplessly took a step forward and walked in the direction of Ramen Ichiraku.

After the last time he complained about the Third Hokage, Fugaku was much closer to Ramen Ichiraku's boss, Teuchi. He even applied for Ramen Ichiraku's membership through internal channels and often went to Ramen Ichiraku to eat ramen.

He always chose to come to this shop at night. At that time, it was already the dead of night, and not many people were in the shop. As a result, Fugaku could complain to Teuchi about his recent troubles, which eased his depression to a certain extent.

Thinking of this, Fugaku quickly walked in the direction of Ramen Ichiraku.

Not only did he want to recover his physical strength through the thick noodle soup, but he also wanted to complain about what had just happened to Uncle Teuchi.

...

After Aoba quickly ran into the depths of the forest, the pieces of paper continuously flipped all over his body.

Swish swish...

Aoba's appearance changed drastically. From the appearance of Satsuma Rentaro just now, he directly changed back to his original appearance. He was dressed in casual clothes. It seemed that both his appearance and temperament had changed drastically.

Swish!

Aoba's mind moved.

He immediately used his chakra to communicate with the Flying Thunder God Formula on the other side of the forest. His figure disappeared in a flash. The next moment, Aoba walked out of the edge of another forest.

Aoba then walked out of the forest and walked toward Ramen Ichiraku. He had wanted to go to Ramen Ichiraku. After all, he hadn't been here for a while. The last time was when Fugaku complained about the Third Hokage.

Aoba originally wanted to try his luck and see if he could meet Fugaku in Ramen Ichiraku.

However, Aoba knew that this was an impossible matter. Because he had actually met Fugaku outside the Country of Water merchant warehouse. This was something he had never expected before.

'Fortunately…'

Aoba suddenly felt a burst of joy in his heart.

Fortunately, he went to the Country of Water merchants to hand over the information and lead Fugaku away, which should have been watching them.

If he had gone a little earlier, or perhaps a little later. In that case, he would miss Fugaku or meet Fugaku ahead of time, and the story would be another ending.

Now, Aoba wants to come to Ramen Ichiraku purely to eat a bowl of ramen and catch up with Teuchi. He had never thought that Fugaku would come today.

It was simply impossible for him to come.

Fugaku used Amaterasu twice in a row, directly overdrawing his body. There was no reason for him to come to Ramen Ichiraku now.

…

Aoba lifted the curtain and walked inside Ramen Ichiraku.

"Brother Teuchi, give me a bowl of ramen!"

When Aoba entered, the sky had already darkened slightly. The lights in the shop had already been turned on.

Judging from the steaming hot air in the room. A group of people had eaten ramen and had just left. There was no one in the shop now.

"Alright!"

When Teuchi saw Aoba, he narrowed his eyes and smiled. He immediately nodded at Aoba and then began kneed noodles. He did not greet Aoba anymore.

After all, Aoba was an old acquaintance. There was no need for so much nonsense.

Aoba did not go to the corner seat he had been to before. Instead, he went directly to Teuchi and sat in the middle of the long table.

"Brother Teuchi, how's the business recently? I'm trapped in Konohagakure Intelligence Division. I can't get out at all." Aoba immediately talks to Teuchi. He deliberately said these words to Teuchi. In the future, even if someone asked Teuchi about it, they would know that even if he did not come here, Teuchi knew that he had been staying with Konohagakure Intelligence Division.

"It has been a little warmer in the past few days. Everyone has already regarded the war as normal. They are no longer as nervous as they were at the beginning. Moreover, it seems that the war in the other village is more intense now. There is no movement in Konohagakure, and even Kumogakure doesn't seem to want to fight anymore." Teuchi said with a smile. He could hear a lot of rumors. The more peaceful Konohagakure was, the better it was for a person like him who operated a Noodle House.

"Is Kumogakure not going to fight?" Aoba asked, pretending not to know. He needed a way to know the information. The more reasonable one was Ramen Ichiraku.

"I think they are not going to fight." Teuchi nodded. While cooking the noodles, he turned to look at Aoba. After a deep look at Aoba, he said, "Haven't you heard of this news in Konohagakure Intelligence Division? Sunagakure's Third Kazekage ambushed our Konohagakure. Right now, we have Kumogakure in front of us and Sunagakure behind us. We are in a very serious situation, so the best way to deal with this is to not fight with Kumogakure!"

"Isn't Kumogakure also attacking us?"

Aoba asked again. He understood from Teuchi's answer that the most discussed in the village was the matter of Sunagakure's attack on Konohagakure.

The people in the village did not have many sources. Moreover, the people who ate melons were most worried about eating melons by themselves. They would often think of their own side.

Because of this, ordinary people among Konohagakure would often only be able to see Konohagakure being attacked from both sides.

There was Kumogakure in front.

There was Sunagakure in the back.

Between the front and back, there was endless danger.

However, they did not know that Kumogakure was facing an even more serious situation.

Under Aoba's series of operations. Kumogakure had successfully offended Konohagakure, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure. Moreover, there was Iwagakure, who had been eyeing them covetously, and they could be said to be the public enemy of the entire ninja world.

Moreover, Sunagakure had offended Konohagakure because of their sneak attack. On the way back, they had been attacked by Kumogakure. When they returned to the village, they saw the scene where their village had been attacked by Amegakure.

The people in the Konohagakure only thought that Kumogakure and Sunagakure were attacking them.

But what they did not know was...

These two villages were already in trouble, and the state they were in was not as stable as Konohagakure.

That was why Aoba felt that this matter was very interesting. People always thought about things from their own perspective, not from a higher perspective.

Of course, this problem could not be completely blamed on ordinary people.

Because the information that ordinary people could obtain was limited, not everyone could obtain the information from the other villages.

If Aoba did not have a Mind Reading System, it would be difficult for him to have too detailed information. He could only make more specific judgments based on the information.

"Who knows about Kumogakure's side? They just sent an envoy group not long ago, but who would have thought that there was a problem with the envoy group, and they directly disappeared!"

Teuchi smiled helplessly. When he said these words, he also shook his head.

"But..."

Teuchi's tone suddenly changed. His slightly narrowed eyes flashed with a pondering gaze.

"I don't think Kumogakure will attack us again!"

Teuchi immediately stated his conclusion.

"After all, we still have Hari, the Anbu leader of Kumogakure, in our hands."

"Kumogakure must be thinking about how to save Hari first."

"If I'm not wrong..."

"Kumogakure should send another envoy group!"

Teuchi said one sentence after another. When he was cooking noodles, he had heard many people discussing this matter.

The words he said just now were all his thoughts and the words that the people eating ramen in the Noodle House said.

It was just that when he listened to these words, it made perfect sense. Now, when Aoba was chatting with him, he picked up these words again.

After hearing Teuchi's analysis, Aoba nodded silently.

It was indeed very reasonable. However, this is still from Konohagakure's side. But, there was still something that surprised Aoba, which was the news that Hari was in Konohagakure...

It has already reached a level that everyone knows!

However, such an analysis. It won't take long for it to become so easy to establish.

When the Country of Water merchants spread the news that Hari had become Danzo's advisor.

At that time, both Konohagakure and the Ninja World would become even more chaotic. After all, Almost everyone knew what it meant for Hari to become Danzo's subordinate.

"Actually, I think the biggest problem now is not with Kumogakure but on Sunagakure's side. I wonder if they will attack our Konohagakure again." Teuchi said with a sigh.

During this time, he heard customers talking about the sudden attack of Sunagakure. He once thought it was fake news. Later, he heard more and gradually understood.

It turned out that this was real news.

The Third Kazekage had actually barged into Konohagakure in such a careless manner. This was truly a bit like a tiger which made him feel deeply surprised.

It was not something that a person with a brain would do.

"Right now, Sunagakure's leader's brain is not very normal. No matter what they do, I will not be surprised!"

Teuchi shook his head and said.

At this time, the Third Kazekage and mentally disabled people have been equated in his heart.

After all...

Anyone with a slightly normal mind. They wouldn't have brought such a small team to Konohagakure so brazenly. Wasn't this just giving away their heads?

If not for the fact that Kumogakure's envoy group had come at that time. The Third Kazekage may be left in Konohagakure forever.
