Chapter 335: Back to the Village to Make Up Stories

After leaving Land of Earth, at this point, the mission could be considered to have been completed perfectly.

Aoba was also prepared to take his leave. After all, this trip had already taken up quite a bit of time, and Konoha still had important matters waiting for him to deal with.

As for the excuse that he had already used, such as 'traveling and training', although Konan had some unspoken criticism, because the strength that Yasuo displayed was becoming more and more shocking, he did not probe further.

In this world, the strong would naturally have more privileges.

Just like how Nagato did not show up all year round, all the tasks were handed over to others to do, and no one would provoke Pain, saying that he was not worthy of being Akatsuki's leader.

Because strength was there, those who were unconvinced had to prepare their own bone ash boxes in advance.

Even Orochimaru, who had always been greedy for Pain, did not dare to completely shed all pretense of cordiality without his assurance.

Therefore, he would occasionally show up, but if he did not leave the organization, it was not a big problem.

After going back this time, Konan decided to have a good talk with Nagato about Yasuo so as not to make things unpleasant.

As for the personal feelings from before, the selfless Konan was willing to put it aside for the time being.

She just didn't know why, but her back always ached.

After separating with Konan and Deidara, Aoba directly rushed back to Land of Fire's territory. After all, he came out to do a mission openly this time. For the sake of safety, it was necessary to leave some traces of.

Especially when he returned to his old place and came to the small town where he met Tsunade, he also specially went to the wine house to eat something.

However, after a long time, things had already changed, and he could no longer meet Tsunade and Shizune's little maid.

Even Jiraiya, who had been traveling around to collect materials, did not hear any related news.

Thinking about it carefully, it was also true that if it was anyone else, they would not use their own big vest to ruin their reputation.

Aoba really wanted to communicate with Jiraiya about his writing experience.

As time passed, (The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi) book had already become popular. Not only did it spread to Konoha, it also began to gradually spread to the entire Land of Fire.

In the end, Kurosuki Raiga was killed by him first, so Akatsuki's people chased after him to find trouble.

Moreover, in the report, he also made up his alt account, describing it as a super expert who liked to collect ninja swords.

It was not against the law to throw the black pot to his alt account!

His words were simply perfect and flawless, not afraid of any investigation.

Even if Sarutobi dared to confront the people who dared to look for Akatsuki, the answer he would get would be what he said.

Almost every member of Akatsuki knew that Yasuo was searching for Kirigakure's Seven Ninja Swords, and only Kiba and Samehada were missing.

It was perfectly reasonable to hear the traces of Kurosuki Raiga and take action to rob him.

Besides, no one knew where Yasuo was during the mission, so there was no possibility of exposing himself.

In order to complete the task perfectly, Aoba really put in a lot of effort.

However, his actions could only be said to be done for the blind, because Sarutobi had no need to doubt him on such a small matter.

Although he had a moment of thought, he felt that the sword would not be hidden by Aoba.

But when he thought about it carefully, he felt that it was impossible.

Because if Aoba left the ninja sword, it would definitely be for his own use. But once it was used, it would mean that he was exposed. So what was the point of lying now?

As for just collecting it, he never thought of taking it out. Even a fool would not believe it, so Sarutobi naturally would not think in this direction.

So after putting down the mission report, Sarutobi said with great satisfaction, "You've worked hard for this mission. Although you failed to save the missing people, at least you have an explanation."

"When you leave later, remember to give Kurosuki Raiga's body to the people outside. No matter what, this is Kirigakure's rebel. It is necessary to return it to Kirigakure."

Aoba nodded to show that he had no objection.

Sarutobi did this because Kurosuki Raiga's body had no value. Without Kekkei Genkai, he would not be able to get any information after dying for so long. At most, he could only exchange it for some money.
