Chapter 54: The Third Body
Chapter 54: The Third Body
After Aoba walked out of Ramen Ichiraku, he did not go back to the streets to search for people again. Instead, he quickly returned to Anbu's dormitory.
He had already patted a lot of heads today. It's about time to stop.
If he looks for Minato every day. After a long time, people would notice the abnormality.
...
Aoba walked in the corridor in front of Anbu's dormitory when he suddenly heard many hurried footsteps.
After that, Anbu Ninjas wearing masks, passed by him and gathered in the direction of Konohagakure Intelligence Division's small black room.
"Aoba?"
Suddenly.
One of the Anbu Ninjas stopped.
He stared at Aoba through the mask and confusion flashing through his eyes. He asked, "Konohagakure Intelligence Division is holding a regular meeting. Why are you going in the opposite direction?"
"Have you forgotten?"
Aoba slapped the head of Anbu Ninja with a backhand and then said, "I asked for a leave!"
"Who knew you asked for a leave!"
This Anbu Ninja glared at Aoba fiercely, and he was obviously dissatisfied with Aoba's clumsy behavior. His figure flashed and disappeared.
"Ding Dong! Memory Reading Succesful! Obtained, Katon, Endan(Fire Release: Flame Bullet)!"
A crisp electronic prompt sounded in Aoba's mind, and then memories flooded into it.
Humph!
There was something wrong with it!
Do I know you very well?
If you take the initiative to ask about my situation, there was some problem with it.
Aoba turned his head away and strode back to the dormitory. He could not be at a disadvantage when being hit on by a stranger.
After returning to the dormitory, Aoba closed the door and sat on the bed. He slowly closed his eyes and began to read the memories of the Anbu ninja.
The scenes flashed before his eyes like a movie.
This Ninja was a member of the Konohagakure Intelligence Division's team and a member of the Yamanaka Clan.
His name was Yamanaka Takeru.
Aoba had no impression of this name or this person.
However...
He saw himself in Takeru's memory. It turned out that his weak body was already famous in the clan.
Aoba did not care about Takeru's past.
Most of Takeru's memories were spent in Konohagakure Intelligence Division like him.
The most valuable part of memory.
It was something that happened recently.
After the second appearance of a corpse in the river, the investigation power of the missing people case was transferred to Konoha Military Police Force.
After weighing the pros and cons, Konoha Military Police Force was ready to cooperate with Konohagakure Intelligence Division, hoping that Konohagakure Intelligence Division could help read the memory of the dead Daisuke and find the truth.
It was precisely because of this request.
Konohagakure Intelligence Division urgently gathered everyone for a meeting.
"As I expected."
A flash of understanding appeared in Aoba's eyes. He knew that this Daisuke was a chess piece arranged by Yuta.
They were not afraid that Daisuke's memories would be read.
Because Daisuke's memories had been tampered with by Yuta.
Through the secret technique of the Yamanaka clan, coupled with medicine, he could temporarily achieve this.
In addition, Daisuke was already dead.
If they used the mind-reading technique of the Yamanaka clan at this time, the contents of the memories they would see were what Yuta wanted people to see.
Of course.
If Aoba used the Mind Reading System, then the memories he read were the original memories.
It was just that Aoba did not want to participate in this matter at all.
"I already knew that after Konohagakure Intelligence Division read the memories, the conclusion they would obtain definitely point to Danzo."
"In this way..."
Yuta and the others successfully put the conflict between Danzo and Konoha Military Police Force.
"..."
"This will make the fragile relationship between the two forces even more difficult to salvage."
"It's just a pity..."
"One of these two forces will definitely collapse when they clash."
"It would be great if both of them collapse!"
Aoba muttered to himself. Then, he lay directly on the bed. When he was in Ramen Ichiraku Noodle House, he had checked many memories, and he had just checked Takeru's memories. Now, he was a little tired and was ready to rest.
Aoba was different from the other Sensory Ninjas.
He did not use a secret technique to read memories, but rather, he used the Mind Reading System.
So when he read memories, he would not be tired at all. He just needed to gently touch their head.
It was like downloading a movie.
But when he carefully read through these memories and read many of them, he would still be mentally exhausted.
It was like everyone was reviewing the action movies in the folder. They had to analyze the different effects produced by different postures. One hand quickly entered the control progress bar, and the other grasped the rhythm. At that time, they might not feel anything, but they would still feel tired the moment they closed it...
This was how Aoba felt right now.
He had seen too many memories.
He was tired.
He needed to rest.
...
The next day.
Aoba stretched and got up from the bed.
He didn't need to go to work.
For some reason, he felt a little bored.
"It's almost time to exercise."
Aoba moved his neck left and right. He could already be sure that he was not in Yuta's plan.
At this time, almost all of the Division's attention was focused on the missing person case.
No one would care about him, the unknown Konohagakure Intelligence Division Road Man, who had taken a leave.
After a simple wash, Aoba changed into Anbu's ninja clothes. To be safe, he also put on an Anbu mask.
This mask was not the usual cat face mask he wore.
If he met someone familiar with him with that mask, such as Eaton, they would recognize him.
After he was fully equipped, he was all ready to go.
Aoba came out of the dormitory and went straight to the small forest behind Konoha's Prison. He was ready to slowly carry out an intense workout.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
After entering the forest, Aoba suddenly seemed to have changed into a completely different person, as if he was a fish returning to the sea.
He was no longer the sickly person who looked like he was swaying when he walked.
His entire body was as light as a swallow, as quick as a swan, turning into afterimages as he quickly shuttled through the forest, doing physical training.
Aoba had a very clear plan for his training.
It was mainly physical training.
In the Ninja World, his average physical quality was not strong, and he had obtained Sage Body when he first read his memories.
With such a good foundation, it was easier to train the body.
Moreover, Ninjutsu could be obtained through reading memory, so there was no need to waste precious time on Ninjutsu.
People have seen the finale of the superb physique and almost kicked out Madara.
Aoba noticed another point.
The super-strong physical fitness could withstand a kick and make the story not end there!
...
While Aoba was training.
On Konohagakure's river and under the gaze of countless people, the third corpse floated past them.
