"Huh?!"

Danzo's face, expressionless for tens of thousands of years, suddenly frowned. He looked at Aoba even more fiercely.

Now he was even more certain.

'There was something wrong with this Aoba.'

'It was very likely that the memory that Aoba discovered.'

'Perhaps...'

'It was a very important memory!'

'It was just that Aoba had no intention of telling him!'

'Could it be that...'

'Hiruzen's previous screening of spies did not find Aoba?'

Danzo merely glanced at Aoba, and many things came to his mind. He had already identified Aoba as a very dangerous existence.

"Aoba, I order you to take off your mask and hand over the book!"

Danzo's voice became even more serious, as if Aoba didn't listen, he would attack Aoba.

This tone instantly made the ninja present more serious.

On the other side. Izumi and Shinichi looked at each other. The two of them could see the meaning in each other's eyes.

They had cooperated with Aoba last time. They understood Aoba's character. It was a typical example of not wanting to appear.

They were not surprised if Aoba found something and did not say it. That was what Aoba could do. It was too normal of him!

When the two of them formed a team with Aoba to do the mission last time, they had found a little information, but there was no follow-up discovery, so they could only put it away and did not report it.

These two people more or less understood Aoba's character, which made them understand that if Aoba found some important information, he did not say it because of his personality problem.

Except for these two people. The Yamanaka Clan ninja present all looked at Aoba. No one dared to say anything easily.

If that memory was recorded in the book.

Perhaps...

This Kaze was right!

In a moment.

Everyone's expression when they look at Aoba changes.

"Alright..."

Aoba felt Danzo's determined gaze and understood that the other party might attack him if he did not follow Danzo's instructions.

Now was not the time to lay his cards on the table with Danzo.

There was no other way.

He could only bite the bullet and go.

After Aoba responded, he helplessly took off the cat face mask on his face, revealing his appearance. They then could see a strange expression on his face.

Then. He put his hand into his ninja pouch and took out a red book.

At this time, almost all the eyes in the room were focused on Aoba. Even if the candlelight here was weak, they could see the cover of the red book.

"This..."

Everyone's eyes were wide open. The cover made them speechless, which was really... young and energetic!

Even the book used to record memories was like this!

When Danzo's left eye, which was exposed to the outside, saw the front and back of the book in Aoba's hand. His eyelids twitched violently. He felt his blood move.

"Phew..."

Aoba sighed a long sigh of relief and helplessly handed the book to Danzo. The content of the book was completely unimportant. What he was most worried about was the signature on the book.

Fugaku personally wrote this signature.

This meant that he had a relationship with Fugaku.

As a result.

Danzo would treat him as someone from the Uchiha clan.

It was too dangerous!

Danzo might target him in the future, but there was nothing he could do. If he did not take it out, he would be targeted now.

"Is this the book you recorded memory?" Danzo's expression changed slightly. It became a little strange. He poured all the inexplicable feelings in his heart into this book. He suddenly understood why Aoba was a little strange. It was because of this book.

"This... This is not... This is not a book to record memories..." Aoba felt that his face was a little red. He was born with thin skin and could not stand such a scene. He immediately felt extremely embarrassed.

"It's this book!"

Kaze, who was standing beside him, suddenly said loudly.

He was confident that he had not seen wrongly! At that time, Aoba had written something in this book.

For him to be able to be promoted smoothly. He had already given it his all!

Following Kaze's words, everyone's eyes were focused on the red book. Their eyes were solemn. This book also decided their fate.

If Kaze got promoted smoothly, they would look at Kaze's face in the future.

"This book..."

After Danzo took the red book from Aoba, he took it and looked at it. His eyes fell on the cover.

This cover was the front of fierce beauty, which seems to give people a feeling of breathing difficulties. Especially the deep gully that caught people's eyes. It was enough to arouse people's endless imagination.

Danzo lived in the dark underground all day long and became the root of Konoha. He dedicated his life to Konohagakure, and his mind was full of how to eliminate the existence that could threaten him and Konohagakure.

He had even forgotten how long he had not seen such a book.

This made the throbbing he had been hiding in the depths of his heart for several decades suddenly beat like a renewed heart.

This force was a bit strong!

Danzo hurriedly flipped the book over, not daring to continue looking straight at it.

But after flipping it.

It was even more exciting than the other one.

Danzo only flipped the book over, but it looks like he flipped the fierce beauty on the cover.

The scenery behind her.

It was even more exciting.

"Pfft..."

Danzo's body shook slightly. He felt that his nose was moving a little. Like a dead tree that had not changed all year round, his body began to rise in temperature.

"This book of yours..."

Danzo shook his head helplessly. He didn't want to look at it anymore. He immediately opened the book. From the degree of wear of the paper, he could tell that this book was often used. It might be opened several times a day.

There was no need to look through it deliberately.

He just flipped it gently.

He turned to the last page recorded in the book.

This happens to be a whole chapter.

Well...

There was no problem with that.

The chapter was complete.

But the story was not complete.

It just happened to stop at a perfect point, making it difficult for people to control themselves.

After summarizing the experience of modern society, Aoba came to the Ninja World to write stories and became a cliffhanger dog.

"This... this... this..."

Danzo suddenly widened his eyes. He looked at the words on the paper, and his breathing became rapid.

Something was wrong!

Something was wrong with this book!

Why did these words form with such magical power, as if they could appear before him?

Suddenly.

Danzo flipped to the front page.

After finding the entry point of a plot, he looked down at the latest page.

At this time.

Danzo felt that he had been dragged into the Ninja School.

He became the headmaster of the Ninja School.

He was instantly immersed in the plot.

All of a sudden.

Everyone at the scene saw Danzo's shocking appearance.

No one dared to make a sound.

They were all afraid of disturbing Danzo.

Only...

Everyone's mood fell to the bottom at this moment. They all realized that there was information in Aoba's book.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Danzo to look at it with such relish.

The crowd did not know how to accommodate their feelings. They were completely dumbfounded. It was very uncomfortable for them to reverse the situation.

Kaze looked at Danzo's immersed posture. He felt that the content that Danzo saw was the memory he read. He could not help but smile, and his face showed a proud look.

If not for the fact that Danzo was still immersed in that state.

He wanted to laugh out loud.

He won!

He succeeded!

Everything would be different in the future! Under everyone's gaze. Danzo looked at the latest page of the book seriously.

Then, he said nothing. He immediately turned back to the first page of the book.

Suddenly. He saw the words "Uchiha Fugaku" on the title page. His heart skipped a beat.

But he didn't care too much about it. He immediately turned to the next page.

He saw the first chapter of the Teacher Bai of Ninja School. He immediately began to read from the first chapter. He also knew that it was not the time to read these things. Maybe Kaze had some key clues.

But, he just couldn't control himself. He didn't want to stop just like this. We can talk about the clues later.

But if he returned this book to Aoba. Then it might be very difficult for him to see the book's contents in his life.

Gradually. Time ticked by. Danzo looked at it for more than half an hour. Until he saw the latest page in the red book.

No one dared to disturb Danzo during the whole process. However, everyone began to believe more that some important secret was recorded in Aoba's book.

Otherwise, it would not have been able to make Danzo stare at it for so long.

This kind of thing was simply impossible to happen in the past!

"Phew..."

After reading it, Danzo let out a long sigh of relief. When he read the book's contents, he felt the long-lost youth again.

"Hmm..."

Danzo originally wanted to hand the book directly to Aoba, but he suddenly discovered that there was something strange about his body. There seemed to be a small tent on his dark green robe.

Fortunately, this place was relatively dark. He turned his back to the crowd.

No one had discovered it.

Hmm...

Except...

Aoba, who was not far in front of him!

Danzo held the book in his hand and slightly bent his body to hide his embarrassment. Then, he turned his left eye to look at Kaze.

"Kaze, I will give you one last chance. Have you thought it through? Have you read the memory?" Danzo asked coldly. Although the content of this book had given him an unexpected harvest, it was not what he wanted.

"I'm sure!"

At this time, Kaze did not hesitate at all. His eyes were determined, and his face was full of excitement. He seemed confident of victory as if he had already been promoted.

"Come with me for a moment."

Danzo did not return the book in his hand to Aoba. Instead, he took the book and walked toward the stone door.

At this time.

After his words just now and the loss of the excitement of Teacher Bai's plot.

Danzo had returned to his normal state.

He strode out of the room, leaving everyone with a mysterious back view.

"Yes!"

Kaze immediately responded. He quickly followed. Every cell in his body was filled with pride.

Instantly. The two of them left the room one after another. The stone door closed. It sealed the room again.

Whoosh!

The moment the stone door closed.

It felt like the class teacher in the classroom had left.

In an instant, the previously quiet environment became noisy. The Yamanaka Clan ninjas could not help but discuss among themselves. The topics they talked about were all related to Aoba.

"Could Aoba and Kaze be the big hidden shots?"

"It can't be! Can they read the memories of that skull?"

"This is too scary!"

"Guess how many things are recorded in Aoba's book?"

"..."

The Yamanaka Clan ninjas all began to discuss. They were all convinced by Danzo that there was something very important in Aoba's book.

At this time.

Everyone looked at Aoba differently.

No one dared to say anything too exaggerated.

In their eyes, half of Aoba's foot had already stepped into the level of promotion.

It was not a wise choice to provoke Aoba now.

Because of this.

An extremely strange scene appeared.

The room was very noisy. Everyone was discussing Aoba, but the corner where Aoba was unusually quiet.

Aoba looked at the people talking about him and felt he was incompatible with this scene.

Really...

When Aoba saw them, he felt like laughing. He does know a lot of information. It was so much that it made one's hair stand on end.

It was even comparable to Black Zetsu.

But...

The information was in Aoba's head, and no one could read it. It was not recorded in the red book.

As for the content of the book...

It was the story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School!

Aoba never thought that Danzo would like Teacher Bai's story so much. He read the last chapter from the first chapter on the spot and even took his book away.

However. He was too lazy to explain. It didn't matter how these people looked at him. As long as they didn't disturb him, it was fine.

The most important now was Danzo.

He still had doubts about what Danzo was thinking, and he was not clear about it, especially about the signature in the book.

This made Aoba more cautious.

Outside the stone door.

Danzo stood in the corridor with his back to Kaze. He instantly gave Kaze a very dignified feeling.

"Tell me what memories you have seen." Danzo got straight to the point. He called Kaze out to hear what Kaze had obtained. In his heart, he was still inclined to believe that what Kaze said was true. It was just that there might be more people in the room who might hear it.

"Yes!"

Kaze's expression immediately became serious. He knew very well that he was at the most crucial time in his life. This was his most important moment, deciding what his future would be like.

"Danzo-sama, when I read Kumogakure Advisor's memories. What I got was about a secret mission!"

Kaze immediately began to tell Danzo. When he said this, all his essence, energy, and spirit directly reached their peak state, and his entire person seemed to be burning.

"I saw a scroll in Kumogakure Advisor's hand. The scroll was filled with missions, but unfortunately, the memory was fleeting. I only saw two missions." Kaze's eyes flashed with light, and he was extremely serious.

"What mission?" Danzo immediately asked.

"The first mission is to go to Konohagakure and have a peace talk. After completing the peace talk, cooperate with Brei to complete the assassination of the Third Hokage!"

Kaze tried to make the memory fragments he had read reappear in front of his eyes. The words modified by Aoba appeared in front of his eyes. It looked like there was no problem at all.

"The second mission is to contact Kumogakure Jonin Gasshi. On the surface, Gasshi will save Hari; but he will kill Hari. This person is too much of a threat to the village!"

Kaze said the second mission.

After he finished speaking.

He stared at Danzo's back.

"There are still a few more missions behind, but they are too blurry. I can't see them clearly at all."

Kaze hurriedly explained. After explaining, he did not wait for Danzo to speak. He quickly continued to say what he saw to prevent Danzo from thinking that the memories he said were fabricated.

"In the end, I saw a picture. It was a Kumogakure ninja. His body was very muscular. He held a tree trunk in his hand covered with explosive tags. Then he said something about Konohagakure and Third Hokage. I didn't hear the specific words!"

Kaze still had the most basic professional conduct: he only said the memories he read and did not make up any memories.

"So you read the memories?"

Danzo turned around. The left eye exposed outside looked deeply at Kaze. A strange color flashed in his eyes. Could it be that the skull could be read and retrieve the memories even when it was like that?

However.

The content that Kaze mentioned.

It was just what he wanted to know.

Gasshi was secretly harming Hari.

Only Hari knew about this.

Even other ninjas would think that Gasshi was saving Hari.

Just this point alone.

It could almost prove that what Kaze said was true!

In addition, Brei wanted to assassinate the Third Hokage...

Although Brei had already escaped, it was not hard to tell that this was a possible mission.

The only problem now was...

Who arranged the tree trunk that was filled with explosive tags?

Kaze did not say it clearly.

However, according to the memories obtained from the other Kumogakure ninjas, they were indeed left behind by Kirigakure ninjas.

Then are there those two Root ninjas?

No one has found such a memory fragment. Is it difficult to read these corpses to such an extent after they were blown up and mutilated?

After thinking for a while, Danzo stared at Kaze with his left eye exposed.

"I read it. Everything I just said is true!" Kaze said with certainty. After that, he pointed at the book in Danzo's hand and said, "The content I said should be similar to the contents written in Aoba's book!"

"Okay! I believe in you!"

Danzo nodded at Kaze. When he first heard Kaze speak, he felt the determination in this person's eyes. It did not seem like he was lying at all.

"Thank you, Danzo-sama!"

After hearing this, Kaze almost burst into tears.

He had never been recognized like this ever since he was young!

Now, he was directly told by Danzo that he believed in him!

And under the premise that so many people said he was lying...

This made Kaze suddenly feel that he had found a confidant in his heart. He felt that Danzo was his confidant.

"Kaze, take a rest. When we get back, I still need you to help me look at the remaining bodies. I believe you have the ability to find the details that they can't find." Danzo directly raised Kaze's height. His superior immediately encouraged Kaze to feel like he was full of chicken blood.

"Yes! Don't worry, Danzo-sama! I will find more details!" Kaze immediately stood up straight and guaranteed. At this time, his confidence in his ability had reached an unprecedented peak. He even felt that those people could not get some key clues because of their lack of strength, and it was not that there was special about those Kumogakure ninjas.

"Hahaha, good!"

When Danzo saw Kaze's appearance, he laughed heartily. He was very satisfied. Then, he picked up the red book and waved it in front of Kaze. He asked, "Do you want to know what is written in this book?"

"Yes!"

Kaze nodded repeatedly. He was very curious about the book. He wanted to know if Aoba was like him, who had the special ability to read memories and could find the most intricate parts in the book.

If not for Aoba's red book, which gave him a lot of inspiration. He wouldn't have been motivated, and he couldn't stand here right now.

"Take this and take a look."

Danzo directly handed the red book in his hand to Kaze. This was the reason why he took the red book out.

During this period, he had learned a lot of ways from Hari, including what he was doing now.

According to the prior agreement.

This person named Kaze would become Danzo's subordinate.

Danzo still liked this kind of talented ninja who could even dig out a charred skull's memories.

Then...

He had to increase his confidence. Kaze took the book from Danzo. He carefully read the contents of the book.

In a split second. The words reflected in his eyes. His face turned red. He didn't know what to say.

He was dumbfounded!

"This... this is..."

The corners of Kaze's mouth twitched. He never thought that Aoba was writing about such a thing. His face immediately became even redder. Not only because he saw these things but also because he felt he had made a big deal. He was extremely embarrassed.

"Now, let me ask you another question. You saw Aoba holding this book. Is he looking at it or writing?" Danzo raised his eyes and stared at Kaze. This question was quite important to him. He wanted to know whether it was the content that Aoba wrote in this book or the content that Fugaku wrote in this book.

"This... I... I can't explain it clearly..."

Kaze immediately recalled the scene at that time. He seemed to have seen Aoba writing with a pen, but when Danzo asked, he felt it was not like this. After all, he was unsure if it was something he had imagined in his anxiety.

It was dark at that time.

He was not sure if Aoba was holding a pen or if he was just reading.

For a moment, he did not know how to answer.

"It's okay."

Danzo walked over to Kaze. He raised his left hand and gently patted Kaze on the shoulder. He nodded at Kaze. When he retracted his hand, he took back the red book in Kaze's hand and held it in his hand.

"You performed very well. Go in and call Aoba out. I have some questions to ask him, and then you will report to Akira. When this is over, you will go with me!" Danzo said to Kaze.

"Yes!"

Kaze shouted excitedly. His face was filled with intense excitement. Every cell in his body was screaming happily. He was extremely excited.

Success!

He had succeeded!

Now, he had obtained the opportunity to be promoted!

Moreover, he had confirmed that Aoba was no match for him. He was the only one who had succeeded!

This feeling made his heart burst into a strong sense of satisfaction, and his vanity was greatly satisfied.

Suddenly.

Kaze walked toward the stone door.

Now he wanted to call Aoba over.

In his opinion, the problem with Aoba was not small. After all, it was a mission period. Whether it was writing or reading such things, there would not be any good results.

Rumble!

The stone door opened.

Kaze walked in under the gazes of the people in the room.
