CH 300

A day passed quickly.

Everyone in Konohagakure Intelligence Division's compartment was in their first time. They still didn't know how terrifying the cat-faced demon was.

As a day passed by, the world was filled with darkness. When they were sent back to the hands of the guards. They felt like they had returned to the human world, and the more they thought about it, the more terrifying it became. They did not dare to recall what had just happened.

...

After leaving the compartment, Aoba slowly walked toward the Anbu dormitory.

'A day has passed again.'

Aoba felt that this day was quite interesting. Not only did he send away all the manuscripts to the people of the Yamanaka clan, but he also had a deep conversation with Danzo. Finally, he stood on the side of justice and punished the prisoners who were waiting for the trial.

The whole process was quite meaningful.

Soon, Aoba returned to his dormitory room. After he closed the room, he used Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique) as his substitute here.

Now, because of the book Teacher Bai of the Ninja School. Aoba didn't know when someone would come to find him.

If someone from the Yamanaka clan made a visit and wanted to ask him for the rest of the manuscripts, if no one answered, then he might be in trouble.

At this time, Aoba increasingly understood the importance of leaving a shadow clone in the Anbu dormitory.

After that, Aoba immediately used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) and went directly to the tower.

He did not choose to go to the underground corridor under the Hokage Building.

The most important reason was that he had already noticed that the things he could see on the surface might not be too big of a secret, but it was just a morgue that stored the bodies for the outside world to see.

But the room next to those rooms. Aoba faintly felt that some secrets were hidden in it, and those secrets might overturn his understanding of Konohagakure.

At this time. Aoba stood on the first floor of the tower.

"There are too many things to do..."

Aoba rubbed his forehead. He had not used Taju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique) to carry out training for a period of time and suddenly felt some fear and resistance to practice.

After all...

He was someone who had crossed over from modern society. He wasn't so keen on this kind of thing that training hard every day.

"I haven't finished learning the water release ninjutsu..."

"I haven't read the memories of those people in Kumogakure..."

"Recently, I've also received detailed teaching of puppet Techniques and sand control ninjutsu..."

"As for Kumogakure's ninjutsu, I only mastered a little bit of basic..."

"There's still a pile of blank paper tags waiting to be drawn..."

"Other than that, there are also books that Minato sent over..."

"..."

Aoba rubbed his forehead, feeling like he was overwhelmed by a lot of homework.

At first, he felt he had plenty of time every day, so he didn't need to worry. He just needed to take it slow. Now that he saw that there were still so many things he hadn't done, he was still not in a hurry at all because he knew that it was useless to be anxious.

"What should I do?"

Aoba took a deep breath. Although there was no time limit to these things, it still gave him a feeling that he had faced a sea of questions and a mountain of books during his school days.

The language teacher said that there was not much homework to do today!

The English teacher said that there was not much homework to do today!

The math teacher said that there was not much homework to do today!

...

Every teacher left a portion. In the end, it was still a lot. After that, every teacher was still very innocent. Especially during the winter and summer vacations.

Aoba rubbed his forehead, and unknowingly, he had returned to the fear of being dominated by homework.

For a moment, Aoba felt his head would explode. He didn't even know where to start.

He didn't know how many times in his heart he wanted to delay and say that he would practice tomorrow...

"Let's look at the memory."

Aoba chose something that was relatively easier to do. He immediately raised his hands. Each of his hands stretched out two fingers and directly crossed them in front of his chest.

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

Aoba immediately used Taju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique). In an instant, a thousand shadow clones appeared on the first floor of the tower.

After these shadow clones appeared. Aoba slowly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

Fortunately.

Fortunately, he could use his clone to assist in his training; otherwise, it would be too torturous.

"Now everyone starts to divide the work and read the memory. Some people will read Hari's memory, some will read Kumogakure Advisor's memory, and the rest will check the memory of Sunagakure ninjas in detail." Aoba said to these shadow clones.

"Yes!"

Thousands of shadow clones nodded at the same time, and then they began to carry out their respective task.

Swish!

Aoba suddenly disappeared in a flash.

He directly communicated with the Flying Thunder God Formula that was in the Anbu dormitory and directly returned to his dormitory room.

"Bang!"

The moment Aoba returned to the dormitory, the shadow clone that had substituted Aoba in his room suddenly disappeared.

After that, Aoba fell directly on the iron bed.

In fact, he was not that tired, or it can be said that he was not tired, but training or something was still quite exhausting.

It was always because there were a few days of decadence that he could not muster the energy and just wanted to sleep and fish.

Gradually, Aoba closed his eyes and slept.

...

Country of Water, in a port.

The Country of Water merchants returned to the Country of Water as fast as they could and did not dare to stay in the Country of Fire for too long.

Especially the merchant's leader of the Country of Water merchants. He finally understood what it meant to have a long night and a long dream.

His experience in Konohagakure made him feel like he was in a dream, and it was a nightmare that he didn't want to recall anymore.

It wasn't until they returned to the port of the Country of Water. Every merchant, including the merchant leader, heaved a heavy sigh of relief.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

Right at this moment, seven figures flashed out and appeared in front of the merchant leader.

These seven people. It was Kirigakure's Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

"You came back so quickly!"

The leader of the seven people, Biwa Juzo, stared at the merchant leader. He felt that these merchants had come back as soon as they left. Even the usual trade was not so fast. In his heart, he directly recognized this leader as not doing the task seriously at all. He just finished selling the goods and secretly ran back.

"Do you know the price of doing this?"

Next to Biwa Juzo, Suikazan Fuguki said coldly. He was not as tactful as Biwa Juzo. His words were relatively direct. His gaze was fixed on the merchant leader, and it was as if he would swallow the merchant leader alive at any time.

Except for these two people. The others did not say anything. However, they all looked coldly at these merchants.

The meaning they expressed was already very obvious.

They all treated these merchants as deserters and did not think that they would get any information in such a short time.

"No! No! You misunderstood! We got the information!" The merchant leader quickly waved his hands and explained.

"Is there any meaning in saying such things at a time like this?" Biwa Juzo said coldly. Originally, he had not thought of how to deal with these merchants. He felt that what these people did was more or less understandable. After all, Konohagakure was in a war. The situation over there was more or less a bit dangerous.

But...

When he saw the merchant leader was still quibbling with him. He even dared to lie to them that he had gotten the information.

This was simply treating all seven of them as idiots.

Swish!

After Biwa Juzo said this, he suddenly pulled out the extremely overbearing Kubikiribocho from behind.

This Kubikiribocho was swinging in Biwa Juzo's hand, and the cold light on the blade made every merchant present feel a strong sense of oppression and fear.

For a moment, everyone felt an itch on their necks. The skin on their faces was a little painful. It was as if the wind that Kubikiribocho swung out had a blade.

"Really! Really! What I said is true! I really got the information!"

This merchant leader was completely flustered. He used his fastest speed to take off the backpack behind him and took out a notebook from the bag.

This notebook was the one he used to record what Satsuma Rentaro had said in the warehouse.

"Here!"

"I recorded everything here!"

"We met Satsuma Rentaro in Konohagakure!"

"Satsuma Rentaro told me all this information!"

The merchant leader said anxiously. Now, his mood had been completely affected by Kubikiribocho. He was instantly flustered, especially after experiencing the matter of Konohagakure Intelligence Division's cat-faced demon. He understood that many things had to be explained at the very beginning. Otherwise, things would become troublesome.

"Satsuma Rentaro?!"

At this moment, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen all widened their eyes. Everyone's eyes flashed with disbelief. What they wanted the most was news of Satsuma Rentaro. How could these merchants get it so easily?

"How could Satsuma Rentaro be in Konohagakure? Are you kidding me?"

Biwa Juzo was the first to calm down. He still confirmed the words of this merchant leader as a lie.

"When we asked you to find Satsuma Rentaro, you say that you saw Satsuma Rentaro. In your next life, say a more reliable lie. This kind of lie is too poor!"

Biwa Juzo's words directly pulled back the thoughts of the other six people.

That's right!

The Boss is right!

This person must be lying!

How could they find Satsuma Rentaro so easily?

They had been searching so hard in the Country of Fire, but they had never seen Satsuma Rentaro.

"Listen to my explanation..."

The merchant leader was so anxious that his tears were about to burst out. However, at this time, his brain was becoming more and more useless. The more he wanted to say, the more he did not know what to say. His mind went blank, and he was a little confused.

"Speak!"

Biwa Juzo sneered. He did not believe the merchant leader's word, but he still nodded and said, "I want to see what you can explain."

"That... that... that..."

The merchant leader hurriedly opened the notebook in his hand and flipped to the record that he had obtained information from Satsuma Rentaro.

"Right!"

"It's like this!"

"It was when we were unloading the goods in Konohagakure's warehouse..."

"Suddenly, a person wearing a cloak came in."

"That person is Satsuma Rentaro!"

The merchant leader immediately recalled the scene at that time. The memories of that time gradually appeared in his mind. He wished he could quickly tell all of these things. He was afraid that he would cause the seven people to be dissatisfied and directly cut his head off.

Of course, the merchant leader still held back. He ignored the fact that they had entered Konohagakure Intelligence Division.

Firstly, these things were not something to be proud of, and it would not benefit them at all. It might even make them lose face.

Secondly, they were engaged in intelligence scouting work. If they had talked about Konohagakure Intelligence Division, even if they did not tell them anything, they would not believe it.

Because of this, the merchant leader decided to hide these things.

Absolutely not!

Just pretend that nothing happened!

Then, the merchant leader stared at the notebook, which recorded the most important details.

"When Satsuma Rentaro saw me, he knew that it was you who arranged for us to come over. At that time, the first thing he said was that you were too anxious." The merchant leader said.

"I was too anxious?" A big question mark suddenly appeared in Biwa Juzo's mind, and he did not know what it meant.

"That's right. That was what Satsuma Rentaro said back then. He even briefly explained what happened, but he didn't say too many details. It might be inconvenient for him to tell us..."

The merchant leader took a deep breath. Then, his gaze focused on the notebook, and began to speak.

"Satsuma Rentaro said that there was a change in Gasshi's mission. It seems to be the name Gasshi. That was what I heard at that time. He said that Gasshi was no longer going to save Hari but to kill Hari. So they reached a consensus and returned to Konohagakure together."

The merchant leader hurriedly explained. He didn't dare to speak slowly at all for fear that he would be cut down by that Kubikiribocho if he spoke too slowly.

"Did you really meet Satsuma Rentaro?"

After hearing these words, Biwa Juzo frowned slightly. He suddenly felt that this merchant leader word did not seem to be a lie.

Then, he turned around and looked at the other Seven Ninja Swordsmen. They exchanged glances with each other and all saw the same look in their eyes.

Indeed, everyone was thinking the same thing.

The most important reason was that the merchant leader had mentioned a point of information that should not have been known to him.

Gasshi!

Hari!

According to normal logic, this was the first time he had heard of this.

No matter how well-informed these merchants were, they should not have known that Hari had been caught by Konohagakure, let alone the news that Gasshi had taken Satsuma Rentaro away.

The news that Satsuma Rentaro had been taken away by Gasshi was only known to the seven of them.

Other than that, no one in the Country of Water knew. In the process of searching for Satsuma Rentaro, they had asked many Kumogakure ninjas. Even so, those Kumogakure ninjas did not know about this matter.

If this merchant leader made up a story...

Then it was a bit too much of a coincidence.

"We really did meet Satsuma Rentaro!" The merchant leader was on the verge of tears. If they didn't believe it, his head would be cut off.

"Did Satsuma Rentaro say anything else?" Biwa Juzo took a deep breath. In his heart, he began to gradually accept the news that this merchant leader had seen Satsuma Rentaro. The expression on his face also became serious. After searching for a long time, they did not see Satsuma Rentaro. Now it seemed that he was hiding in Konohagakure.

"Yes!"

This merchant leader quickly nodded. Then he flipped the notebook and looked at the records on it.

"Satsuma Rentaro asked me to tell Jozu-sama that he is now doing intelligence work in Konohagakure. He even asked me to report four important points to you!" The merchant leader said.

"Hurry up and tell me!" Biwa Juzo instantly became tense, and when he thought of the information from Satsuma Rentaro, he became very excited.
