Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer

Chapter 96: Konoha White Fang’s Genius Son

When Mikoto heard Aoba's words, she was stunned on the spot, and she was completely dumbfounded.

What the hell was this!

Interested?

What kind of joke was this!

Just as Mikoto was about to express her displeasure, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Wait...

Mikoto immediately fell silent. Her mind quickly worked, recalling the scene she saw after entering Ramen Ichiraku.

At first, when she sized up this youth, he did not have any particular emotions, and he was very silent all the time.

But just now.

It suddenly seemed to have changed.

Suspicious!

Very suspicious!

Mikoto increasingly felt that this young man was very similar to the spies that her family elders had mentioned.

Even she herself did not know why, but she had a great doubt about Aoba's identity for some reason. Moreover, it was getting more and more intense, and she even had a rebellious mentality.

That feeling was like...

The more it looked like there was no problem, the more she felt that there was a problem!

"No..."

Mikoto was just about to open her mouth to explain, indicating that she did not have any other thoughts.

The words came to her mouth.

She suddenly felt that this explanation was too gentle and too weak.

She thought of those seniors of the Konoha Military Police Force and immediately changed the topic, trying to make herself appear as strong as possible.

"Why do you think I will be interested in a stranger I just met?"

Mikoto frowned, trying to make herself less delicate.

"Oh."

Aoba nodded, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared. He looked extremely serious.

"Then why are you asking me so many questions? If you don't have any interest in me, then you have thought about Ramen Ichiraku Noodle House?" Aoba changed from the one who was asked to the one who asked.

"What thoughts can I have about Ramen Ichiraku?" Mikoto widened her eyes. She was dumbfounded and was led away by Aoba.

"That means you have thoughts about Konohagakure..." Aoba's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he asked, "Are you a spy sent by the other village?"

"What... what did you say?"

A trace of surprise flashed through Mikoto's beautiful eyes. She could not believe her ears.

This person actually treats her as a spy!

"I told you from the very beginning; my name is Uchiha Mikoto. I am someone who will enter Konoha Military Police Force in the future. How can I be a spy? On the contrary, you have a problem. I have never seen you before. Your identity is unknown!" After being asked by Aoba, Mikoto instantly panicked a little. After all, she was still a young girl, so she was suddenly confused.

"I said my name is Yamanaka Aoba.

I am a member of the Yamanaka clan. As for why you have never seen me before, maybe it is because you haven't opened your Sharingan. "Aoba casually waved his hand.

"How do you know that I haven't opened my Sharingan?" Mikoto was even more puzzled. She just felt that there was something wrong with Aoba.

"Genetics."

Aoba shifted his gaze away from Mikoto and slightly raised his head to look at the menu hanging above Ramen Ichiraku's shop.

"Some people can only open their Sharingan after their entire family is killed. Your life is so smooth; it's normal that you don't have those eyes." Aoba said something that Mikoto found strange.

"What the hell?" A big question mark appeared on Mikoto's head.

"What are you two talking about? It's so lively..."

At this time, Teuchi carried a pot of wine and a bowl of hot ramen and placed them next to Mikoto.

"Mikoto, why didn't you eat? Is the ramen not to your liking?" When Teuchi saw that Mikoto's ramen was about to become a lump, his expression changed slightly.

"Ah!"

Mikoto was stunned for a moment, and then she realized it.

She was too busy wondering about Aoba's identity and forgot to eat the ramen in front of her.

She immediately picked up the chopsticks and began to eat. She did not ask anything else, but she was still thinking about Aoba's identity in her heart.

"Mikoto, is it okay for you not to go home so late?" Teuchi picked up the wine glass in his hand, poured two cups of steaming hot shochu, and handed one to Aoba. (TL note: Shōchū is a Japanese distilled beverage. It is typically distilled from rice, barley, sweet potatoes, buckwheat, or brown sugar, though it is sometimes produced from other ingredients such as chestnut, sesame seeds, potatoes, or even carrots.)

"Big Brother Teuchi, I am a ninja. What problem can there be?" Mikoto said with a wry smile. She knew that this was the concern of Brother Teuchi, but she still felt that she had been underestimated.

"Hehehe, I am just worried about you." Teuchi narrowed his eyes and smiled. Then, he focused his gaze on Aoba and said directly, "Aoba, I have decided to use the membership system you mentioned to me last time. There are a few questions that I haven't thought through clearly."

"Go ahead." Aoba took the wine glass that Teuchi handed over and took a sip. A hot and spicy feeling instantly rose in his throat.

When Mikoto, who was eating noodles, heard the two of them talk about the words "membership card" that she had never heard before, she immediately perked up her ears and became even more curious.

"Konohagakure is a Ninja Village. Ninjas often go out to do missions, and they can't avoid the situation of being killed. How can we persuade them to store the money on the membership card? If they died, how can we deal with the membership card?" Teuchi asked seriously. After speaking, he directly drank a big mouthful of shochu in his cup.

"This problem is actually very easy to solve. The people who apply for the card can allow their family to use the membership card together, or they can specify a certain person that can use their membership card." Aoba replied.

"Just like how you designated Minato to be able to use your membership card?" Teuchi pondered.

Minato?

Mikoto, who was eating noodles, immediately caught this familiar name.

Wasn't that her best friend Kushina's boyfriend?

Could it be that Minato and Aoba were friends?

Thinking of this, Mikoto gradually realized that her imagination was too excessive.

He was a friend of Minato.

He couldn't be a spy!

"Yes, that's what I meant." Aoba nodded.

"Then, if Minato wants to treat us, can he also use your membership card?" Teuchi continued to ask.

Aoba nodded. "Yes."

"In that case, will there be a loophole? For example, you applied for a card that has a discount, and you treat everyone using this card. Then everything they eat will be discounted. So will there be someone who will store a large amount of money and then open a shop-in-shop?" Teuchi raised his other question.

"This is a good question!"

Aoba's expression became serious. He had already realized that Teuchi had really thought about many related questions.

He was even considering the problem of scalper.

"Let me think about it..."

A thoughtful look flashed through Aoba's eyes, and he paused for a moment.

"How about this."

"Let's change the discount method for membership cards."

"We won't give a discount on the storage value anymore."

"Change it to the method of giving free voucher. Such as storing a certain amount, a free voucher can be given for them to eat a free meal. The free voucher is only for personal use."

"This way, we can avoid the phenomenon of reselling."

Aoba used his modern thinking to think about it and planned a membership system for Teuchi.

"This is feasible."

The smile on Teuchi's face became even more kind. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip, feeling much better.

"Aoba, I plan to implement the membership system in three months. It will be on the day the new students of the Ninja School enter the school. At that time, it will attract a group of students' parents to apply for cards." Teuchi said with a smile.

"Big Brother Teuchi, I didn't expect you to be so good at finding opportunities!" Aoba nodded. Wasn't this the same as a big bargain sale for the start of school? Thinking of the new students entering the school, he couldn't help but think of his previous life when he was in school. He couldn't help but sigh, "When new students enter the school, there were a lot of people!"

"This year's new students are amazing. I heard that the genius son of Konoha's White Fang is really something to look forward to!" As Ramen Ichiraku's store owner, Teuchi's information was very accurate. He looked at Aoba and said, "Come and help me when the time comes. I'm afraid there will be too many people, and it will be very busy."

The genius son of Konoha's White Fang?

Wasn't that Kakashi!

Interesting!

Of course...

Aoba was more concerned about Konoha's White Fang!

If he could find an opportunity to pat Konoha's White Fang's head, that kind of harvest should be terrifying!
