Chapter 34: Shadow Clone
"Ah?"
After hearing what Aoba said, Eaton was stunned, and he stared at Aoba with a strange look in his eyes.
A hundred years?
Do you want to struggle for a hundred years?
Then you would live more than a hundred plus years old?
What kind of joke was this!
Eaton automatically ignored Aoba's last words and felt that those words were completely unrealistic and had no practical meaning at all.
However.
Vacation...
It had been such a long time.
It was not very consistent with Konohagakure Intelligence Division's rules!
"Aoba, Konohagakure Intelligence Division personnel can't take a long vacation. As you know, the ninja world is not peaceful now, and there is a high possibility that there will be a war. At this stage, it is in a very special period."
Eaton stared at Aoba. There was no fluctuation in his pupils, giving people a very deep feeling.
"Captain Eaton, it is precisely because the war is about to begin that I want to rest for a period of time before the war begins. In order to cultivate better essence, energy, and spirit, I want to deal with all kinds of situations that may happen in the future."
Aoba replied.
"I can understand your thoughts, but Anbu's long vacation is not so easy to give. Generally speaking, it is only when the female ninja is pregnant and about to give birth..."
Eaton said meaningfully. Then, he waved his hand and said, "How about this, Aoba? I'll give you a week of rest time. Is that okay?"
"Yes."
Aoba nodded. He knew very well that he did not have any status in Konohagakure Intelligence Division. It was already very difficult for him to get a week of vacation. However, this was still very different from his goal.
One week.
It was far from enough.
Not to mention whether Yuta and the others would immediately start committing the crime.
Just those deployments alone would take a lot of effort.
In the end, it was very likely that this week's vacation had just passed, and he had returned the case would happen.
He had to think of another way!
"Aoba, since you are here, you have to take a vacation anyway. I will let you handle this person!"
Eaton raised his hand and pointed at the man who had been tied to the wooden stake. It was obvious that he had been interrogated and had not confessed.
"Okay."
Aoba nodded without hesitation. Reading memories was a good thing for him.
If it were any other ninja, he would have been killed. He might feel a headache.
He was on leave and had to work overtime on the day before the holiday!
There was no way! No matter who loses, the boss can't lose!
But Aoba didn't care at all.
All he wanted was to spend the whole holiday reading memory.
However, he couldn't be too hasty.
There were people outside who opposed the Third Hokage, like Yuta, who wanted to use him like a gun.
He had to temporarily avoid the sharp edge!
He only wanted to slowly read memories in Konohagakure Intelligence Division. He wanted to develop in a wretched way and stabilize himself.
Aoba walked to the front of this ninja and swept his gaze over him.
Although blood dyed the latter's skin red, it could still be seen that the color of this person's skin was darker than that of a normal person.
He was not from the Country of Fire!
With just a glance, Aoba made a judgment in his heart. Now, his experience had reached a terrifying level because of people's memories added to his mind.
"This person is a secret spy of Kumogakure."
Eaton slowly opened his mouth and told Aoba about the background identity of the man who had been beaten to the point that his flesh was split open.
"Three days ago."
"The village's barrier team sensed this person outside the village's barrier."
"We suspect that he is using a special method to crack Konohagakure's barrier."
"But no matter how I interrogate him, he won't say anything."
"If you didn't come..."
"I will also call the Sensory Ninjas to search his memories."
Eaton told this ninja's background story in a low voice.
To be interrogated to this extent.
He already had the idea of calling Analysis Division ninja to come.
But coincidentally, Aoba was here!
Of course, when he knew that Aoba was here, he did not intend to let Aoba search for his memories.
However, when he learned that Aoba was going to take a leave of absence.
His thoughts changed!
Since it's a holiday, it wouldn't be a problem for him to work a little more.
After all, there was a week of rest!
"Okay."
After hearing Eaton's explanation, Aoba had a general impression of him and understood what was happening with this ninja.
He was a ninja from Kumogakure.
He was secretly studying Konohagakure's barrier.
Just based on these two points and in addition to the degree of familiarity Aoba had with the events that followed.
He immediately had a rough conclusion in his heart.
If he was not wrong.
This ninja was sent to study Konohagakure's barrier. His goal was to secretly invade Konohagakure and then kidnap a child from the Hyuga clan who had Byakugan.
Thinking of this.
Aoba could not help but be puzzled.
Why?
Why was Kumogakure so obsessed with Byakugan?
Wasn't it good to change it to the Sharingan?
But they always stared at them!
...
Aoba raised his right hand, and his palm slowly landed on the ninja's head.
In an instant, Aoba's palm touched the ninja.
Hum!
Aoba's body slightly trembled, and then scenes of memories flooded into his mind.
"Ding Dong! Memory Reading Succesful! Obtained, Shadow Clone Technique!"
A clear electronic prompt echoed in Aoba's mind.
This...
Aoba was stunned for a moment, and he tried his best to suppress the joy in his heart.
B-class ninjutsu!
He actually got B-class ninjutsu!
This means...
Aoba stared at the man in front of him who had been beaten to a pulp.
This person was at least at the level of a superior Ninja!
Or...
It was already very close to being a superior Ninja!
This time reward for reading the memories was even higher than the Fireball Technique of Eaton, who was a special Jonin Ninja!
For Aoba, the ninjutsu he obtained this time was already the best and most practical reward other than the first time he read the memories.
"Careful! Low profile! Calm down! Steady!"
Aoba immediately kept reminding himself in his heart that now was not the time to be happy. Captain Eaton was still staring at him from behind, waiting for the result of searching his memories.
In an instant, Aoba mobilized the chakra in his body.
While circulating his chakra, he used the secret mind-reading technique of the Yamanaka clan.
It's just that...
This secret technique was just for show. After all, the Mind Reading System had already transmitted the memories to him.
Just like this, Aoba maintained this posture for a full fifteen minutes.
"Phew~"
Aoba heaved a heavy sigh of relief. He withdrew his right hand and opened his eyes. A trace of exhaustion flashed in his eyes.
"Captain Eaton, the searching was over."
