"Hiss..."

When Fugaku saw this scene, he immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. He never thought that this book would actually fall into Teuchi's hands.

The most important thing was...

Teuchi thought that he had written it!

At this time, he had already promised Aoba to admit that he had written this story. After all, he had received copyright fees as a benefit. There was no way to explain it even if he wanted to.

"That's right, Brother Teuchi. This is a new book that Brother Fugaku wrote. It will be published in a few days. Look at how Brother Fugaku wrote it!" Aoba immediately smiled and said, directly fixing this matter.

"..."

After hearing Aoba's words, Fugaku's face was full of helplessness. He knew that this book would accompany him in the future, and there was no way to explain it.

"Okay!"

Teuchi nodded and flipped through the book. He stood in front of the long table where the two of them were, squinting at the words on the book.

In a split second, the story of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School brought Teuchi into a ninja school in a different sense.

"This..."

Teuchi's brows slightly twitched. He immediately felt that this story was not ordinary. Then, he felt a little awkward standing there reading a book. He immediately pulled a chair to sit and slowly read it.

"Fugaku, you wrote quite well!"

Teuchi's eyes were focused on the words in the book. These words seemed to have magic power, directly pulling him into it and completely immersed in it.

All of a sudden, the Ramen Ichiraku Noodle House fell silent Teuchi silently looked at the story in this book. It was as if he had opened the door to a new world and found something new that he had never noticed before.

Aoba silently watched all of this. He was thinking about the follow-up plan in his heart, but he was very satisfied with the current situation change.

The current situation was already under his control.

Fugaku was in a very awkward situation. The quieter the surroundings were, the more complicated his heart was. Especially when Teuchi was reading this book in front of him, and it was written by him. This made him not know how to deal with this feeling. He could only bury his face in the bowl of ramen and eat the noodles in it quietly.

However, when he was eating noodles. He still pricked up his ears and listened to the movements of Teuchi in front of him.

Now, he paid extra attention to Teuchi's possible reactions.

...

Ten minutes later.

Teuchi read the last chapter and slowly closed the book. He didn't say a word and just quietly recalled the plot that had just appeared in his mind.

A moment later, Teuchi raised his eyes and looked at Fugaku.

"Fugaku, you wrote very well. The only regret is that the story has not been finished. I will wait for you to finish writing these and publish them. They will definitely be sold!" Teuchi said in all seriousness.

"Thank... thank you!"

Fugaku's expression turned strange. At this moment, an indescribable awkwardness appeared in his heart. He did not know how to respond to Teuchi's blessing.

"All the best!"

Teuchi made a fist gesture at Fugaku, then placed the book back on the table.

"Thank... thank you..."

Fugaku thanked Teuchi again, then quickly picked up the book on the table and stuffed it into Aoba's hand.

"Brother Fugaku, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first. I still have to hurry up and contact the publisher for you." Aoba shook the book in front of Fugaku, then got up and was about to leave.

"Are you finished?" Fugaku was stunned. He suddenly felt that Aoba seemed to have found him to make him the author of this book, and then he left after completing his goal.

"Yes, I am finished. Brother Fugaku, I think you are quite tired. Go back and have a good rest. I won't disturb you anymore!" Aoba stood up and walked out. He even waved at Teuchi and said, "Brother Teuchi, I will come to see you in a while."

"Okay!"

Teuchi also waved his hand at Aoba. He was the owner of the ramen shop. He watched the people coming and going out of the shop every day. He had long been used to these things and had no special feelings at all.

"..."

Fugaku suddenly felt a headache. He felt like he had been tricked, but he also felt like he had earned something.

It was a very complicated feeling.

It seemed like...

He was tricked again!

At the same time, he also earned!

...

After Aoba left Ramen Ichiraku, the sky was already very dark. He did not directly return to Anbu's dormitory. Instead, he walked toward the ninja tool store that was still open.

"Boss!"

Aoba pushed open the door and saw the store owner, whom he had often interacted with.

When the store owner saw Aoba, he instantly recognized him. This young man was the one who had come to him to buy the blank paper tags.

It was said that he wanted to sell explosive tags. However, he did not succeed even once. It had been quite some time since this person bought the blank paper tags.

In the eyes of the store owner...

Aoba had already given up on the matter of creating explosive tags.

"Hehehe, it's you. You haven't returned so late. Do you want to buy something?" The store owner asked with a smile. His voice was still very gentle. After all, he was a person with a good personality.

"I want to buy some blank books," Aoba said to the store owner.

"A blank book?"

The store owner was stunned for a moment. He thought that Aoba was going to talk about blank paper tags. How did it change to a blank book now?

After a little hesitation, the store owner couldn't help but remind him.

"The paper in the blank book can't be used to draw tags. If you want to draw tags, you have to use the blank paper tags that can store chakra." The store owner said.

"I won't draw paper tags. I will buy blank books to copy some things. It is the most normal basic use." Aoba nodded and said. He had a good impression of the store owner. After all, he had greeted the store owner with many identities. It could be said that he understood the store owner from different angles.

"Hahaha, this is good too!"

The store owner heard the idea of giving up on making tags from Aoba and immediately put down the worry in his heart.

After all, if he did not have the talent to make tags.

In that case, no matter how much blank paper tags he bought, there was no way he could make a single explosive tag. In the end, he could only say that it was a waste of money, and he could not take back the original capital.

This was not a simple lottery ticket. It required great talent and hard work.

Now, the store owner saw that Aoba seemed to have given up on these things. He felt that this young man was still relatively clear about the situation. After knowing that he did not have a talent for making tags, he decisively gave up.

"The blank books are all here; you can choose them yourself."

The store owner raised his hand and pointed at the shelves over there. There were blank books, notebooks, and pens on them. Most of these things were sold to the students of the Ninja School.

"Okay."

Aoba walked directly to the front of the shelf and looked at the books on the top. He first picked a dark book and then took a large pile of books. There were a total of thirty or forty books.

He didn't know the exact number either. Then, he took these books and walked directly toward the store owner.

"Boss, this is all I want. How much is the total?" Aoba put all the blank books on the counter and then stared at the boss and asked. These blank books were quite important to him now.

"Do you need so many books?"

The store boss frowned slightly. He stared at Aoba deeply. He found that this child liked to buy a lot of things.

"Yes." Aoba nodded.

"Alright!"

The store owner asked and calculated the price of the blank books.

After Aoba paid the bill. Then, he left the store and strode directly toward the direction of Anbu's dormitory.

Ten minutes later.

Aoba returned to his room in the Anbu dormitory. After that, Aoba immediately used Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique).

After leaving a shadow clone in the dormitory.

He immediately communicated with the Flying Thunder God Formula on the tower and then used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique).

His figure flashed and disappeared.

...

On the first floor of the tall tower.

Aoba raised his hands and made a cross.

"Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique)!"

Aoba immediately used Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique) and created thirty or so clones that looked exactly like Aoba to appear around him.

"Your mission is very simple."

Aoba's gaze fell on these shadow clones. Right now, he had no plans to carry out his training plan wantonly. He had to first deal with the matter in front of him.

"You will be responsible for copying the entire book and writing it all down on the dark book that will be given to Danzo." Aoba pointed to the shadow clones closest to him and said. These were all randomly chosen. After all, each shadow clone was himself, and the effects were the same.

"The rest of you will tear the pages of the book. Each of you will write down the first chapter. This is for those Yamanaka Clan ninjas." Aoba said to the other shadow clones.

Even if he did not say this, these shadow clones all knew it in their mind. After all, they were all Aoba's physical clones. They belonged to a part of Aoba's body's chakra and would inherit Aoba's will.

Thus, they would have the same thoughts as Aoba. However, Aoba still felt that it would be better to explain these tasks properly.

"Yes!"

After hearing Aoba's words, these shadow clones immediately responded in unison. Then, everyone began to busy themselves with their own matters.

Aoba nodded at these shadow clones. Then with a thought, he communicated with the Flying Thunder God Formula in his room in the Anbu dormitory.

In a flash, he disappeared.

After Aoba returned to his room in the Anbu dormitory, he then took back the shadow clone that was currently in his room. Then, Aoba lay on the iron bed and was ready to sleep.

...

Country of Lightning, Kumogakure.

Raikage Office.

Although it was already night, the Third Raikage was still looking at the scrolls that made him anxious.

There was no other reason.

Hari was gone.

Kumogakure Advisor was also gone.

Even the staff officers who could help him handle these things were gone.

He was the only one who could handle these things.

The Third Raikage was not someone who took the intellectual route. He was more like a fighting maniac who was immersed in training every day.

He was able to become Raikage because he was extremely strong. He could play the role of the leader of the village. However, he was not good at managing the village. Just by looking at the scrolls, he felt his head swell.

"Raikage-sama!"

However, at this time, a dark-skinned Kumogakure ninja quickly ran into Raikage's office. From this person's expression, it seems to be urgent.

"What's wrong?"

The Third Raikage frowned slightly. Right now, what he did not want to hear the most was this kind of shouting.

Either something was wrong here, or something was wrong there. Which was so annoying for him.

The Third Raikage found that these people would not worry about the Raikage at all. None of them came here to solve the trouble for the Raikage, but they all came here to trouble him.

Now, the Third Raikage would rather go to the battlefield to meet the enemy than to see these mountains of scrolls.

"We have lost contact with the scouts on the front line!" Kumogakure said.

"Lost contact again?"

The Third Raikage frowned tightly, and his heart was full of displeasure. This was not the first time their scouts had lost contact.

Ever since their Kumogakure envoy group had entered the borders of the Country of Fire, there had been no news of them.

Whether it was Kumogakure Advisor or the outpost leader, Brei. No one had sent any news back. This made the Third Raikage feel that something might have gone wrong.

This phenomenon was absolutely abnormal. Then, he began to send out scouts to check the situation.

Including the group that was said to have lost contact. Kumogakure sent a total of three batches of scouts, but none of them brought back any news. After these scouts entered the Country of Fire territory, it was like entering an abyss, and none of them returned.

"Is the Country of Fire eating people?"

The Third Raikage suddenly rolled up his sleeves, and a dissatisfied expression appeared on his face. He stared at the Kumogakure ninja, who came over to deliver the message.

"Why can't they even gather information!" The Third Raikage said angrily.

"Maybe... they were killed!" The Kumogakure ninja said in a low voice. He did not dare to speak too loudly.

"How weak!" The Third Raikage shook his head helplessly and said, "Why are the ninjas in the village unable to even complete the most basic and simple task? Do you want me to go out to gather information personally?"

"We don't dare! We don't dare! We have already sent out the fourth batch! This time, they will definitely bring the information back!" This Kumogakure ninja immediately lowered his head and did not dare to speak loudly.

"In fact, it doesn't matter even if we send scouts to gather information or not." After saying these words, the Third Raikage shook his head helplessly and continued, "Judging from the current situation, they are probably all dead. Moreover, they all died in the Country of Fire. It should be Konohagakure who did it. The other party is watching us, so as many people go in, as many people die. There is no meaning of sending scout at all."

"Raikage-sama means..." This Kumogakure ninja revealed a puzzled expression. He vaguely felt that the Third Raikage seemed to have thought of something.

"Arrange a ninja team and gather at the square tomorrow. I will personally lead them to the battlefield in the Country of Fire to attack Konohagakure." The Third Raikage said coldly. Now he had blamed everything on Konohagakure.

"Raikage-sama, this matter is a bit strange. It is very likely that it was not Konohagakure who did it, but the other villages who stirred up trouble!" This Kumogakure ninja immediately advised, "Besides, if you leave Kumogakure. Then the power of our Village will be emptied immediately, which will be very disadvantageous to us!"

"I don't care. Konohagakure is too much. I have already said that we don't need any negotiations. Just fight them directly. Hari insisted on negotiating. Now, this is what happens. If he just follows according to what I said. The bigger fist in this world has the last say!" The Third Raikage said coldly.

In his heart...

He was rather disdainful of those schemes and plots. He was more willing to solve the problem in the simplest and crudest way.

In his mind, strength was everything!

In the face of absolute strength, schemes and plots were futile. This was the most appropriate feeling he had when he fought with the Hachibi. Any scheme would be useless against the Hachibi.

The only thing that could compete with the Hachibi was his fist!

"Raikage-sama, I suspect that this matter is not that simple. There might be some other power behind this. It may not be Konohagakure who did it. Because I can feel that the Third Hokage really wants to solve this problem peacefully." This Kumogakure ninja immediately said. If the Third Raikage did a careless action, things might become out of control.

"If he wants to solve the problem peacefully, he should release Hari!" The Third Raikage said coldly.

When he said these words, his entire face was full of dissatisfaction and ridicule.

"Now, not only did he not release Hari, but he also swallowed us, Kumogakure, one by one. Isn't this provoking us?"

The more the Third Raikage thought about it, the angrier he became. He had already immersed himself in his own logic and was unable to extricate himself. He had determined that all of this was done by Konohagakure. In his heart, it had already formed a prejudice, and this could not be easily changed.

"If I continue to tolerate Konohagakure, wouldn't it make the people of the entire world laugh at me? They will think that we, Kumogakure, are easy to bully and think that I, the Third Raikage, am easy to bully!"
