CH 235

After Aoba heard the words of this white-robed Anbu, he already understood the Anbu's arrangements.

It was just as Eaton had warned him.

This matter might require him to participate in it, but the prerequisite was that he had to first go through the inspection of the other members of the Yamanaka clan.

Perhaps...

In Eaton's eyes.

There was nothing that Aoba should hide.

Perhaps the only secret was Tsunade's student!

In an instant.

Aoba silently made preparations in his heart.

He felt that this might be an important node that he in Konohagakure had encountered.

If not handled well.

Something bad might happen.

"Seniors of the Yamanaka Clan, you may begin."

The white-robed Anbu nodded towards the people of the Yamanaka Clan who were waiting over there.

These people were people that the Third Hokage had personally selected and were completely trustworthy.

As long as they confirmed that there were no problems with the clansmen of the Yamanaka Clan in the Anbu, then they could have these people accompany them to inspect the others.

This time, the examination had to be done from a memory level.

It could be said that they had taken a great risk!

This also showed that the Third Hokage had made a great determination!

None of Anbu had special privileges.

Everyone had to be checked.

Normally speaking.

Using the Mind-Reading Secret Technique to conduct a memory check. Whether it was the user or the person being investigated, this kind of work had a certain degree of damage.

This was also why the Third Hokage had never dared to make this decision so easily.

This kind of large-scale screening.

Not only would it shake the confidence of those innocent people in the village, but it might also damage their brains.

This matter actually gave the Third Hokage a chance as well.

The chance to remove the tumor from the Anbu!

"Yes!"

The people of the Yamanaka clan all nodded to the white-robed Anbu. They were already clear about the process of the matter. They also knew that the words of this white-robed Anbu represented the words of the Third Hokage.

Immediately.

The people of the Yamanaka clan chose one person to stand in front of them.

Standing in front of Aoba was a middle-aged man who was over thirty years old.

There was a calm look on his face.

"Try to cooperate with me. It will reduce the pain between us." The middle-aged man nodded to Aoba. They were all from the Yamanaka clan. He did not doubt Aoba at all.

"Yes."

Aoba nodded. He only nodded. If he really wanted to cooperate, he wouldn't dare!

The next moment.

The middle-aged man raised his hand and pressed it on Aoba's head.

The whole action was under the gaze of Hokage's Anbu Captain. No one could avoid or cheat.

"Phew..."

Aoba took a deep breath. He sat in front of this Yamanaka middle-aged man. He felt the other person's hands on his head and slowly closed his eyes.

"Relax."

The middle-aged man of the Yamanaka clan closed his eyes. He controlled the chakra in his body and used a secret technique to search through Aoba's brain.

At this moment.

Aoba felt a stream of chakra flowing through the fingertips of the middle-aged man towards his brain.

Hum!

In an instant.

Aoba's consciousness trembled slightly.

"Ding Dong! The system has detected the invasion of external forces. The automatic protection program has been activated. Part of the host's memory fragments has entered an isolation state!"

A crisp electronic prompt sounded in Aoba's mind.

Then.

He felt a very special feeling in his consciousness.

This feeling was hard to describe.

But he could clearly feel that the other party was preparing to read his memories.

Scenes after images appeared.

They appeared in Aoba's consciousness.

He could choose any memory fragment to display to the middle-aged man reading his memories.

Whether it was his own or someone else's, as long as he wanted it, it would all be from the first-person perspective.

Other than that.

The memories that he did not want to show, including the memories related to the system, would not be read.

'Sure enough!'

A big stone that was hanging in Aoba's heart suddenly dropped.

The Mind Reading System really had the ability to protect his memory.

There was no need to worry about his memories being discovered by others.

And...

It seemed that he could also forge memories!

Aoba did not attempt to forge memories and display other people's memories. After all, this was still a relatively dangerous moment. Everything had to be steady.

Aoba's goal was to overcome the current crisis and not try anything at this critical juncture.

Now, he could easily control his memories.

He directly presented the part he wanted to present to the middle-aged man bit by bit.

He was like a video editing master.

He began to piece together his memory fragments.

Every morning, after waking up, he would go to work for Konohagakure Intelligence Division. He would let the prisoner write a confession letter for the whole day. After work, he would directly go back to the dormitory. Then he would start over, again and again.

The fragments of head touching, reading, medical ninjutsu, training, and him using advanced paper clones to do all kinds of things were edited, and it was impossible to see.

The memory he presented was very simple.

It was a very ordinary office worker.

Don't be late or leave early.

He didn't think too much and didn't ask.

He had never complained about how hard it was.

He had not even taken the initiative to inquire about what had happened in the village recently. He had no curiosity at all about things he should not know.

He had completely stuck to his job.

"Alright."

The middle-aged man withdrew his hands and stared at Aoba.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Aoba slowly opened his eyes. He was very clear about what the middle-aged man had just seen. He was no longer worried about what had happened.

As Aoba opened his eyes.

The middle-aged man and Aoba looked at each other.

"You are very good!"

The middle-aged man nodded to Aoba and then said nothing more. His deep eyes stayed on Aoba as if he wanted to remember Aoba's appearance in his heart.

In fact.

Aoba did not know.

This middle-aged man was an elder of the Yamanaka Clan, a middle-level member of the Yamanaka Clan.

After he saw Aoba's memories, he had an idea about Aoba.

He planned to discuss with the clan head if he could transfer Aoba back to the Yamanaka clan after completing this mission.

This kind of diligent and honest person...

It was such a pity to hand him over to Konohagakure Intelligence Division!

After that.

The middle-aged man from the Yamanaka clan beckoned to Anbu Captain, who was not far away.

"Pass."

The middle-aged man said in a deep tone when the white-robed Anbu looked over.

"So fast?"

The white-robed Anbu looked at Aoba. Right now, Aoba and the others were the first to complete the examination. The other seniors of the Yamanaka clan were all silently examining him.

"Aoba's life is very simple. Every day, he either goes to work or rests in the dormitory. His memory is very simple." The middle-aged man of the Yamanaka clan said.

"Got it."

After the white-robed Anbu heard the middle-aged man's words from the Yamanaka clan, he turned to look at Aoba again. His gaze lingered on Aoba for a while longer.

"I remember you!"

The white-robed Anbu suddenly spoke. Then, he praised Aoba, "Your dormitory is very clean."

"Thank you," Aoba said indifferently.

"Now, you also stand on the side of the senior of the Yamanaka Clan. Help them check the rest of the people together." The white-robed Anbu said in a commanding tone. After he finished speaking, he no longer looked at Aoba.

It was strange.

He checked almost all the dormitories of Anbu yesterday.

Only his impression of Aoba's dormitory was the deepest.

It could be said that it was the cleanest dormitory in the entire Anbu.

After all...

There was not much in the dormitory at all!

"Yes."

Aoba responded softly. After he had overcome this crisis, there were no more problems here.

Now, he was already on the white list.

Not only was there nothing to be suspected and because his memory had been read. It had proved from the other side that he had nothing to do with anything that had happened recently.

Whether it was the series of events that had happened to Konohagakure recently or the two Root ninjas who had died.

Aoba had already been indirectly proven in the process of being read.

Right now, he could calmly face everything that had happened before this time node, and no one would doubt that those things had anything to do with him.

"Pass!"

"Pass!"

"Pass!"

"..."

After Aoba went ashore, the other seniors of the Yamanaka clan had already finished reading the memories of the ninjas of the Yamanaka clan who were assigned to them to read.

Complete a person.

Then, they would signal to Hokage's Anbu Captain.

After that, more people would be recorded on the white list.

About half an hour later.

The first batch of people who had their memories read by the Mind-Reading Secret Technique had completed their search for their memories.

There was no problem with anyone.

"Very good."

Hokage's Anbu Captain nodded to Aoba and the others. Then, he nodded to a Hokage's Anbu team member next to him.

Instantly.

The figure of the person beside him flashed.

He disappeared without a trace.

He took the first batch of information and reported it to the Third Hokage, who was waiting inside.

"As expected of the Yamanaka clan of Konohagakure. You have not disappointed the village!"

The Hokage's Anbu Captain said a high-sounding sentence. If it were before they read their memories, he would not say such words. After all, at that time, nothing was confirmed.

These words could only be said after they were confirmed.

When Aoba heard what Hokage's Anbu Captain word, there were no waves in his heart. He even wanted to laugh.

Swish!

At this time.

The Anbu sent out by Hokage's Anbu Captain just came back.

He whispered a few words beside Hokage's Anbu Captain.

"Now it's time to enter the next stage. Those who are selected by me will go forward to be checked!"

After Hokage's Anbu Captain received the Third Hokage's instructions, they began the following steps. He arranged for the Anbu of the Yamanaka clan, who had already entered the white list, to stand in a row with the seniors of the Yamanaka clan who had been here.

There was Aoba in this row.

Now, Aoba had changed from a person who had been examined to a person who would inspect.

Although there were no problems during this process, he knew that he could not be careless.

He still had to be cautious.

In this place, any subtle change in expression could be noticed by the Hokage's Anbu.

After Aoba and the others stood up.

The Hokage's Anbu, who was wearing a white robe, began to go down to pick people.

In a split second.

An Anbu was assigned in front of Aoba.

Right now, neither of them was wearing a mask.

Both of them could see each other's faces.

Aoba looked at Anbu in front of him and could clearly feel the calmness in his eyes.

It was a feeling of having a clear conscience and being fearless.

Reading memories was just a process.

It wouldn't affect him at all.

This feeling.

It was very clear.

Aoba did not need to read his memories to know that the person in front of him was definitely not a spy.

"Let's begin."

This Anbu nodded at Aoba. He was obviously much older than Aoba. He looked at Aoba as if he was looking at a little brother.

"En."

Aoba directly raised his hands and touched the head of this Anbu.

This time, it could not just be an act.

Now, all of Konohagakure's Anbu were gathered here.

Even the slightest mistake could easily lead to the collapse of the situation.

When Aoba's right hand touched the head of this Anbu, a crisp alert sound rang out in his consciousness.

"Ding Dong! Memory Reading Succesful! Obtained: Suiton: Suiben(Water Release: Water Whip)!"

Along with this crisp electronic prompt, this ninjutsu seemed to be engraved in Aoba's soul and could be used at any time without any obstruction.

At the same time.

The memory of this Anbu poured into Aoba's mind.

Immediately after.

Aoba pressed his hands against the temple of this Anbu.

He immediately mobilized the chakra in his body and used the Mind Reading Secret Technique of the Yamanaka clan.

Aoba carefully controlled the chakra and attached it to the brain neurons of the latter, capturing the memory fragments in the latter's head.

According to this person's memory.

He was a member of the assassination team who was responsible for going out to carry out the assassination mission.

Usually, they were either trying to assassinate or on the way.

Just as Aoba had guessed, he was not a spy at all.

However...

He did not immediately announce that the other party had passed.

He couldn't check faster than other people of the Yamanaka clan.

He needs to wait for them for a while.

Aoba controlled his chakra and made the chakra searching more gentle. Disguisedly, he gave the Anbu a spa massage to the brain.

About ten minutes later.

Along with the other ninjas of the Yamanaka clan, they all ended the task of searching through memories.

Aoba slowly put away the chakra in his hand. The whole process was still very gentle. He also did not want to cause any damage to the brain of the ninja in front of him.

"Pass."

Aoba waved his hand at the white-robed Anbu, who was not far away, and said this indifferently.

"Yes."

The white-robed Anbu responded, indicating that he had received the message. After that, the inspection work of this batch of Anbu was completed.

"The next batch of people I have selected will be checked in turn!"

The white-robed Anbu said coldly. After he said these words, the Anbu Captain look at the ninja beside him.

Suddenly, this Anbu Ninja disappeared in a flash. It was obvious that he was reporting to the Third Hokage again.

On Aoba's side.

The Anbu, who had just received a brain spa felt that his brain was very clear.

This state was like a very full and comfortable sleep.

Full of energy and high spirits.

He didn't have the usual feeling of being drowsy.

"Thank you."

This Anbu directly said to Aoba. He knew that the Yamanaka clan in front of him did this.

Even though he did not know if the other party was intentionally helping him relieve his fatigue, or if it were due to the effect of using the secret technique.

At least...

This swept away the exhaustion accumulated in his brain from his frequent assassination career.

Aoba smiled and shook his head. He did not speak. From the expression in his eyes, it meant that it was a simple matter.

Then.

This Anbu left.

Another group of Anbu came here.

These were the people called by the white-robed Anbu to be the third group of people to be examined.

This time.

Standing in front of Aoba was a man who was less than thirty years old.

This tall man had a square face, and there were red tattoos on his cheeks as if they had been painted.

His eyebrows were in the shape of an inverted figure.

The sharp corners of his eyes reflected an extremely sharp and cold gaze.

After this person arrived in front of Aoba, his eyes no longer stared at Aoba. Instead, they looked in other directions.

But...

Aoba could clearly feel the gaze of this person in front of him.

The other party was not looking at him.

But he was paying attention to him.

This feeling was very strange...

It was often like this.

The more he acted like he didn't care, the more he actually cared!

There was something wrong with this person!

Aoba immediately realized that the person in front of him looked indifferent on the surface but actually revealed everything. It was very likely that he was a spy planted by other villages in Konohagakure or the kind that had already mixed into the Anbu.

'Good fellow!'

Aoba silently sighed in his heart.

A row of sensory ninjas stood here, and it just so happened that he caught a spy.

The trouble really came!

"You guys start."

At this time, the voice of Hokage's Anbu Captain rang clearly in everyone's ears.

"Yes!"

Everyone, including Aoba, who was ready to cast the Mind Reading, responded in unison.

After that.

Aoba raised his hands and touched the head of the man in front of him.

At this time.

The man suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Aoba.

His dark pupils were like the fierce eyes of a wild beast, and there was deep caution in his eyes as if he was ready to eat people at any time.
