CH 246

Aoba was reading the memory of Orochimaru's assistant. When he was reading the memory, his other two advanced paper clones had already begun to carry out their own tasks.

These two advanced paper clones had both turned into Root ninjas.

It just happened to correspond to the two Root ninjas he imprisoned in the tower.

These two advanced paper clones arrived near the Hokage Building, found the special secret door to Root, and walked down the stairs.

The mission this time was very clear.

It was mainly to find out information about Hari, find out his specific location, and his current situation.

However...

He must first reinstate their identity.

If he couldn't do it, then he would remove his shadow clone.

The two of them had just entered the Root Base, and they immediately saw many Root ninjas wearing masks.

There were several people standing guard at every distance.

Aoba was not surprised by this situation.

He had already read the memories of the three Root ninjas.

He was very clear about the process of returning after completing the mission.

For a moment.

These two advanced paper clones, who had transformed into the two Root ninjas, did not say a word and quietly walked forward.

After walking down several floors, the two of them arrived at a platform.

There was a man wearing a dark green robe with half of his face wrapped in bandages.

This person was the Root Leader, Shimura Danzo.

"Danzo-sama."

Aoba's two advanced paper clones had completely put themself into the role.

They began to enter the acting mode.

"Why did you come back so late?"

Danzo's exposed eyes glanced at the two of them and slowly said, "How is the completion of the mission?"

"Reporting to Danzo-sama, the mission has been successfully completed. Fujieda Yoshino has been killed and dealt with very cleanly. No one will find any traces." Among the two Root ninjas that Aoba imitated, the older one said.

"The mission is very smooth. Why did you waste a day?" Danzo's tone was very deep and cold, giving people a very oppressive feeling.

"Reporting to Danzo-sama, while we were chasing Fujieda Yoshino, she constantly circled around various different areas and delayed the chase. However, the overall process of the mission was smooth." The older Root ninja continued.

"I see." Danzo gave the two advanced paper clones a meaningful look, then waved his hand and said, "You must be tired. Stay here and rest for a while. Don't go anywhere."

"Yes!"

Aoba's two advanced paper clones responded. They could feel that Danzo did not really believe their words. He was already mentally prepared to remove the shadow clone at any time.

After Danzo finished giving instructions to these two people, he beckoned to the darkness.

Almost in an instant.

A black shadow flashed out and appeared beside Danzo.

Danzo whispered a few words into the black shadow's ear.

After saying that.

The black shadow disappeared.

Just like that, another ten minutes passed.

A tall and thin ninja wearing a mask walked over from the other side and walked in front of Danzo.

"Danzo-sama, are you looking for me?"

When this lanky ninja walked in front of Danzo, he directly half-kneeled and salutes Danzo. Whether it was his form or tone, it could be seen that he was very respectful toward Danzo.

"Akira, come and see if they are lying."

Danzo said to the lanky ninja wearing a mask.

This Root ninja was called Yamanaka Akira.

He was a ninja responsible for reading memories.

He was highly valued by Danzo.

At that time, when the remnants of the old era broke out, Akira was the one who was responsible for reading Tetsu's memories.

"Yes."

Akira turned to look at Aoba's two advanced paper clones. His dark pupils fell on the two advanced paper clones through the mask peepholes and then he stepped toward the two advanced paper clones.

Such a scene.

Aoba's advanced paper clone had both seen and heard it.

He was going to read his memories!

If it were in the past, he might have been afraid, but now there was no problem at all.

To be able to prove his words through this method was simply the most suitable.

Aoba was afraid that Danzo would directly attack his two advanced paper clones. If the attack exceeded the shadow clone limit could bear, it would be directly canceled the technique. At that time, there would be no possibility of continuing to pretend.

Under the gaze of Danzo.

Akira took the lead to walk in front of the Root ninja who was acting as the elder among Aoba's advanced paper clone.

"Excuse me."

Akira's voice sounded faint. He only said this, but he didn't care at all.

Whether it was him or the two Root ninjas in front of him, they all belonged to Root, serving Danzo-sama. As long as they obeyed orders, everything else was useless.

"En."

This advanced paper clone of Aoba nodded. He didn't resist at all. Instead, he closed his eyes and presented his brain to Akira.

This scene fell into the eyes of Danzo, making his vision less sharp.

Perhaps.

These two people really had no problem.

Akira raised his hands and touched the head of the eldest Root ninja disguised by Aoba. Then he immediately used the secret technique of the Yamanaka clan, controlling the chakra to rush towards the brain of Aoba's advanced paper clone.

At this moment.

Aoba's advanced paper clone did not resist this chakra at all. He was in a state where his brain was completely open.

[Ding! 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 a state of isolation! ]

Along with the system's prompt.

Aoba's advanced paper clone entered the same state as the last time when his memory was read. He could freely choose the memory fragments for Akira to check.

Suddenly.

Aoba's advanced paper clone took out all the memories of the Root ninja he transformed into and presented them to Akira.

Except for the last memory before his death.

Everything else was directly and perfectly restored.

As for the last memory.

Aoba did some tricks to magnify the chase process between them and Fujieda Yoshino infinitely, showing a feeling that Fujieda Yoshino was very good at running.

"Well..."

When Akira read Aoba's advanced paper clone memory, he easily got the memory of the Root ninja into his mind.

The missions he had done over the years.

The mission he had just executed.

The process of the mission.

The scene was very clear.

This was much easier than when he was reading other people's memories.

It even gave him the illusion that his mental strength had increased.

This person...

Must have a good memory!

"Phew..."

Akira breathed a sigh of relief. He moved his hands away from Aoba's advanced paper clone's head and turned to look at Danzo.

His eyes met Danzo's one-eyed eyes and he shook his head slowly.

"Danzo-sama, there is no problem."

After saying that.

Akira walked in any direction of the other Root ninja.

He came in front of the young Root ninja. His dark pupils looked through the mask peepholes.

"Excuse me."

Akira said the same thing. After he finished speaking, he raised his hands and touched the head of Aoba's advanced paper clone.

In a split second.

A stream of chakra poured into the mind of Aoba's advanced paper clone.

[Ding! 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 a state of isolation! ]

The crisp sound of the system prompt once again sounded in Aoba's mind.

Aoba's advanced paper clone also had Aoba's memories and experiences. He did not panic at all and sent the memory of this Root ninja to Akira's secret technique.

One scene after another.

It was all the memories of the young Root ninja.

The memories were also just some changes in the last part.

He did not stare at the tower curiously.

In fact, there was no tall tower in their memories.

After completing the mission.

This Root ninja was mischievous and wanted to go shopping in the village.

This kind of thing was not allowed.

However, he wanted to take advantage of the convenience of completing the task and let them take a look around.

The older Root ninja couldn't resist him, so he simply went with him. As a result, they found two sneaky people on the street.

The appearance of the two people.

It was the appearance of Sunagakure's spy.

They even said something similar to Third Kazekage and Mani.

However, this ninja did not know what it meant.

"Phew..."

Akira took a deep breath. He let go of his hands and turned to walk in Danzo's direction. The expression behind the mask had changed slightly.

"Danzo-sama, I found something."

Akira immediately reported to Danzo. He was the typical type of person when found something, he had to go to the leader to take credit for it. He definitely did not hide anything and did not play the low-key trick.

This kind of character might not be very popular among colleagues.

But inside Root.

On the level of reading memories.

Danzo was very satisfied with this characteristic of Akira.

He needed people who could help him find the details.

"They have problems?"

Danzo's face instantly became cold, and his body was already surrounded by a faint killing intent.

"No, no, it's not them..."

Akira waved his hand repeatedly. He did not want these two Root ninjas who had no problems to be threatened by death for no reason because of his question.

"Danzo-sama, I found something else. Listen to me slowly..."

Akira stared at Danzo with a serious look in his eyes, and then slowly said.

"These two have no problems. They just happened to bump into two ninjas after they finished their mission. The two ninjas did not notice their existence and said something special."

Akira did not continue to speak halfway. He began to keep him in suspense, waiting for Danzo to take the initiative to ask him questions.

"What are you talking about?" Danzo immediately asked, giving Akira enough face.

"The two people they met were all talking about Sunagakure, Third Kazekage, and Anbu's spy Mani. They seemed to be saying that they wanted to sneak attack the village, but they did not hear the specific time and situation." Akira immediately said.

"There is actually such a thing!" Danzo nodded and praised Akira, "You are very careful and found something very important. Now, lead a Root team to capture those two people for me. I suspect that they are Sunagakure's spies."

"Yes!"

Akira was originally going to pass the appearance of these two people to Danzo through the Mind Body Transmission Technique.

However, when he thought about it, he knew that this was impossible.

Danzo-sama would not easily extend his head to any member of the Yamanaka clan.

It contains the big secret of Konohagakure.

"You two have worked hard. Go and rest."

Danzo waved his hand at Aoba's advanced paper clone. With Akira reading their memories, he no longer had any doubts. After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"Yes."

Aoba's two advanced paper clones responded at the same time. They understood that they had already gotten away with it and sneaked into the Root. The next thing to do was to find the specific location of Hari.

After that.

The two of them walked toward the place where they lived in their memories.

Neither of the two advanced paper clones spoke.

However, they were thinking of the same thing at this time.

That was the map of the Root Base.

Based on their strength and authority, they could reach two-thirds of the area where Root ninja was active.

The rest of the area was their blind spot.

Hari was locked in the blind spot.

Right now, the two advanced paper clones were quickly calculating the blind spots in their mind and preparing to find an opportunity to sneak into the blind spot to check.

But no matter what...

The two of them had successfully infiltrated.

...

Konohagakure, tall tower.

Aoba slowly opened his eyes. He had already read a large portion of Orochimaru's assistant's memories.

It was worth mentioning that...

He saw the Corpse Dissolving Water formula from the memories of Orochimaru's assistant.

Of course.

Not only was there only Corpse Dissolving Water formula.

There were also many strange things.

Orochimaru was very busy with experiments every day. Some unimportant experiments were handed over to this assistant to complete.

"It seems that it is necessary to choose a room on the second floor of the tower to set up a laboratory."

Aoba silently planned in his heart. After reading Orochimaru's assistant's memories, it was almost the same as reading a tenth of the laboratory version of Orochimaru's memories.

At the very least, there were still some things that could be done.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

However, right at this moment.

On the first floor of the tall tower, there was a series of explosions.

A series of memories poured into his mind.

These shadow clones had already used up all their chakra after practicing the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu for an entire day.

After all, each shadow clone only had one-thousandth of his chakra, and they continuously consumed it.

In a split second.

A sense of exhaustion surged into Aoba's consciousness. The exhaustion of these shadow clones would also be transmitted to him.

This situation lasted for almost three minutes.

Only then did Aoba slowly react.

"Very good!"

A smile appeared on Aoba's face. These shadow clones had made great progress in learning water release ninjutsu and were already able to grasp several advanced water release ninjutsu.

With Aoba's current attainments in water release, Kirigakure's ordinary ninja would not be able to compare with him.

"Tomorrow, I will practice for another day, and I will be able to use it!"

Aoba's eyes flashed with confidence. These water release ninjutsu would provide him with great help, allowing him to use them perfectly in the future.

"Now it's time to go back and rest."

Aoba did not immediately set up Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique). He had just experienced a lot of consumption, and now he needed to make up for the consumption of his body through rest.

That way, he could put his full mental state into a new day of work and training.

In fact.

With his strong physical fitness, Aoba was able to make it so that he wouldn't need rest at all.

But...

There was no need to do that!

Aoba just wanted to stir up some trouble and let this chaotic ninja world vent its suppressed emotions.

He was not going to fight on the battlefield.

Now, the hypocritical peace of various forces was like a fragile piece of paper that could be torn apart at any time.

Rather than that, it was unknown when Konohagakure would be attacked.

It would be better to directly ignite the flames of war.

Then, he would let Minato break this situation and become the Hokage.

...

Konohagakure, Konoha Military Police Force, in the office.

Now, two people were sitting opposite each other with a table between them.

These two people were the current Konoha Military Police Force Captain, Uchiha Akaru, and Uchiha Fugaku, who was sitting opposite him.

"Fugaku, don't get too excited. Kumogakure's envoy group will be here in two days. We can wait and see what the effect of the final negotiation is. Don't be in a hurry to directly attack Kumogakure's envoy group. That will not benefit our Uchiha clan!" Akaru said in a low voice.

He changed his radical approach from the past and became conservative instead.

This made Fugaku, who was sitting opposite Akaru, silent.

"Fugaku, do you understand what I mean?" Akaru opened his mouth again and said seriously, "What we have to do is to protect Konohagakure, not to start a war. This thing must not go wrong!"

"I understand."

Fugaku nodded indifferently, then got up and walked out. As he walked, he said, "Akaru-sama, I am tired. Give me a few days off."

"It is good for you to rest." Akaru nodded without hesitation and directly gave Fugaku a holiday.

"Thank you, Akaru-sama."

After saying this, Fugaku directly left Konoha Military Police Force's office.

After he came out.

Facing the moonlight in the streets and alleys.

He walked in the direction of the Uchiha clan.

"Now, Captain is starting to fear me..."

Fugaku said to himself. He could already feel that when Akaru was talking to him, it was a completely different feeling from before.

This feeling was especially obvious after Sekai's death.

It seemed...

He threatened Akaru's current position.

"Hehe."

Fugaku sneered. He suddenly felt that the entire world was different from before.

All of a sudden.

A word flashed through his mind.

Before, he was seriously researching something, but it was shelved because of Sekai's death.

The Uchiha stone tablet!
