Chapter 63: Cut the Grass from the Root!
Chapter 63: Cut the Grass from the Root!
Aoba would not be foolish enough to leave a corpse floating on the river, waiting for Konohagakure Intelligence Division's Sensory Ninja to search for his memories.
It was okay if he did not
make a move.
Once he made a move, he
would not leave behind any future troubles!
"Captain Yuta, you
said that we are in harmony and no one will provoke each other. That would be
good."
"I really don't like
troublesome things, and I don't like to meddle in other people's business."
"But you keep
looking for trouble for me."
"I forgot to tell
you."
"I don't want to
cause trouble."
"It doesn't mean I'm
afraid of trouble!"
Aoba walked up to Yuta
and took off his coat, and he held the latter's corpse with both hands and
placed it on his clothes.
The whole process lasted
for more than ten minutes.
It was not until he
checked carefully that there was no blood or ashes left in the surroundings.
After that, Aoba tied up
his clothes and held them in his hands.
Then he picked up the
Kunai that Yuta had let go of and held it in his hands.
After doing all of this,
Aoba flashed towards the depths of the dark forest under the gradually bright
moonlight.
Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!
Aoba's figure quickly
shuttled through the forest, jumping between the branches like an elf in the
dark night.
Time ticked by. Even Aoba
did not know how far he had gone and how long he had been running.
In the end, he stopped in
front of a small hill.
"Here it is."
Aoba stopped and put down
his clothes. He held the Kunai in his right hand and used it as a mini shovel.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Swish!
Aoba began to dig the
ground quickly and used Kunai to dig holes.
His movements became
faster and faster.
After a simple fight and
a long-distance run, he did not feel tired at all.
Not long after.
A small hole about half a
meter wide was dug up.
Aoba untied the clothes
that were wrapped around Yuta's bones and poured the burnt bones directly into
it.
"No!"
After Aoba poured Yuta's
bones in, he suddenly frowned and felt that it was not safe.
"Separate!"
Aoba immediately made up
his mind. Anyway, he was on vacation, and even if he did not go back at night,
no one would suspect anything.
These bones could not be
piled together.
What if they were dug out?
The cautiousness in
Aoba's bones would not allow him to deal with the corpses hastily.
Aoba immediately took out
90 of the bones in the deep pit, leaving only a small part behind. Then, he
used his clothes to pick them up again and then filled the pit with soil.
After the pit was filled
up.
Aoba also picked up a few
types of grass and planted them on the topsoil.
Then Aoba's figure
flashed, and he began to search for the next suitable place.
Just like this, Aoba dug
thirteen deep pits in different places far away in the following period of
time.
A small part of Yuta's
bones were buried in each deep pit.
"It's done."
After Aoba finished
everything, he gently patted the soil on his hands and burned the clothes he had
used to carry the bones. Then, he began to return to the dormitory.
...
When Aoba returned to the
dormitory, it was almost dawn. As a small transparent Konohagakure Intelligence
Division member, no one paid attention to his whereabouts.
He was originally
inconspicuous.
In addition, Konohagakure
Intelligence Division was very busy now.
When Aoba returned to the
dormitory, he took a simple shower, changed into a clean set of clothes, and
removed the clothes he was wearing.
"There should be no
problem now."
Aoba sat on the bed,
repeatedly thinking about the process of handling it to ensure that no one
would suspect him.
"Wait..."
As Aoba thought about it,
he suddenly realized a problem. He had just asked Yuta about this question, but
he did not get a definite answer.
"Did he decide for
himself when Yuta came to find me or did Tetsu arrange it?"
"Does Tetsu know
that Yuta came to find me?"
"Now something
happened to Yuta,"
"If Tetsu didn't
know about this, it would be fine. If he knew, he would definitely suspect me!"
"You guys from the
old era are really troublesome!"
As Aoba spoke, the
corners of his mouth curled into a cruel smile, and his eyes became cold.
"Looks like..."
"I can only deal
with you guys!"
"If you want to
blame someone, then blame yourselves for disturbing my quiet life!"
Aoba made a decision in
an instant. After making his decision, he no longer hesitated.
This was his personality.
Caution.
Careful.
Don't want too much
trouble.
He was too lazy to meddle
in other people's business!
However, the situation
was different now.
Aoba could not be sure if
any of the remnants of the old era participated in Yuta's plan to kill him. He
also did not know if anyone knew, much less how many people knew.
Then...
He could only plan
according to everything he knew!
Since they had already
made their move.
In that case, he
absolutely could not hold back.
..........
"I have to plan this
matter properly. I must be fast and accurate and not leave any clues that point
at me!"
Aoba placed his right
hand on his chin and began to think quickly.
Right now, his strength
couldn't be considered strong.
He only relied on Sage
Body and some ninjutsu. To deal with an old, weak, sick, and disabled person
like Yuta, he could still use surprise attacks to complete a desperate
counterattack.
However, among the
remnants, there were still some strong ninjas.
Aoba didn't have any
combat experience.
He also had no way of
crushing them.
He followed the principle
of caution.
Aoba didn't want to risk
himself.
If he failed, he would be
unable to bear the consequences.
Then...
The greatest advantage he
could use was intelligence!
Know yourself and know
your enemy, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles!
Aoba had the memories of
Yuta and Takashi in his hands. With these memories, he could list out a list of
the remnants.
"Tetsu, you thought
that you were secretly scheming about Konohagakure, but you don't know that
compared to me, you are in the light, and I am in the dark."
Aoba's brain worked
quickly, and he looked through the memories of Yuta and Takashi again. He needed
to confirm some details as a breakthrough in this precautionary counterattack.
"Right now, I have
the advantage!"
"My cover is that my
body is weak, and I have no fighting ability. I am quiet, and I have no
ambition."
"Even if Tetsu
realized that something had happened to Yuta, he would not suspect me
immediately. He most likely suspects Danzo."
"Let me think..."
"Is it possible for
me to use Danzo to deal with Tetsu?"
"Watching the battle
between the two sides with a smile."
"I am standing in
the darkness behind the scenes that no one is paying attention to."
"To take advantage
of the situation and reap the benefits!"
Aoba opened his eyes
wide. A plan appeared in his head, but he had not figured out the details yet.
He needed to spend time and energy to carefully calculate these.
He was afraid of trouble.
But when he encountered
trouble.
He did not mind the
trouble in solving it!
