Chapter 26: I Refuse to Help
When Aoba found out that the prisoners in Konohagakure's prison had all died, he was shocked.
He was still very puzzled in his heart!
After all, he had never seen such a scene in the original plot.
Even some of the ordinary ninja's memories did not have such memories.
Konohagakure had always been full of sunshine and bright scenes.
There were almost no criminals.
The people in the village were extremely harmonious.
It was completely an anime version of the world where there was no evil.
However.
When Aoba stayed in Konohagakure Intelligence Division for a while.
He understood.
It was not that Konohagakure had no darkness.
Instead, the darkness was covered by the light.
People only needed to live in the light.
Now, it seems...
Danzo was not only Konohagakure's pot king, but he had also dealt with many things in secret.
Relatively speaking.
Aoba had never heard of the deaths of prisoners, nor had he heard of the release of prisoners.
There was no specific explanation regarding the matter of Konohagakure's prison. He only knew that there was such an organization, but he did not know what kind of prisoners were imprisoned inside.
After this period of time reading the memories of these prisoners in the Konohagakure Intelligence Division.
Aoba gradually had a clearer understanding of the Ninja World.
Although this was only Konohagakure, the other villages should not be too different.
As for Danzo's way of doing things.
He couldn't tell if it were right or wrong.
But.
Now was definitely not the time to provoke Danzo!
Moreover, Aoba did not want to provoke Danzo at all!
...
More than ten minutes later.
The leader of the guards brought his subordinates over to escort another suspect.
During this period of time.
The guard leader was getting familiar with Aoba.
Although the two of them did not know each other's names, while Aoba was still wearing Anbu's mask and did not show his face, they were inexplicably familiar with each other.
The guard leader felt that Aoba was very efficient. Among the interrogator Ninjas, he had come into contact with, it was rare to use such a short time to make the criminal confess.
Aoba was very efficient.
The guard leader's efficiency was also high.
This also made him more willing to send the suspect to the small compartment that Aoba belonged to.
Especially when he felt that the suspect was a stubborn one.
"This person is a stubborn one."
The guard leader motioned his subordinates to tie the suspect, who was escorted over to the wooden stake, then turned around and left with relief.
"Okay."
Aoba nodded. His gaze passed through the hole in the mask and looked at the suspect who was tied up. His dark eyes seemed very indifferent.
He did not know that the guard leader was secretly giving him an "extra meal".
Instinctively, he thought that Konohagakure had a high crime rate!
"Let me see what happened to you."
Aoba walked directly to the person who was tied up and raised his hand to touch the latter's forehead, ready to read his memory.
...
Unconsciously.
A month passed.
During this period of time.
Aoba stayed in Konohagakure Intelligence Division's compartment every day to interrogate the prisoners and read their memories.
He also spent his free time training in the woods behind Konoha's Prison.
After Eaton observed Aoba that day, he had never again observed him.
However.
There was one thing.
That made Aoba a little confused.
For this period of time.
The people assigned to him for interrogation were all ordinary people of Konohagakure. Not a single one of them was a ninja.
Such a data sample.
Was it Konohagakure Intelligence Division higher-ups who arranged for the people sent to him to be ordinary people?
Or was it that the crime rate of ordinary people was higher?
After all, ninjas were not always in the village.
The village would issue a task, and then they would carry out the task. Most of the time, they were in contact with other ninjas.
Another morning.
Aoba first ran around in the small forest to exercise for a while.
His control over his body was getting more and more powerful.
In addition, the people whose memory he read were ordinary people, and because of this, his chakra had increased a lot.
His whole body was full of energy!
Aoba came to the familiar compartment. Before the guard leader came over, he saw a familiar figure.
Yamanaka Yuta.
The old man who had not been here for a month.
Just like this, he suddenly came in front of Aoba.
From the looks of it,
His face looked more like a skeleton.
"Captain Yuta."
Aoba immediately greeted Yuta. He vaguely realized that something had happened. Otherwise, Yuta would not have come here to find him.
"Come with me."
Yuta took a deep look at Aoba and simply said this. Then, he turned around and walked towards the dark corridor.
"Yes."
Aoba responded and quietly followed behind Yuta.
He didn't ask anything along the way.
Until they reached the end of the corridor.
Yuta stopped.
Aoba also stopped.
"Aoba, do you know why I am looking for you?" Yuta asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know." Aoba replied indifferently.
"You definitely don't know!" The corners of Yuta's mouth twitched slightly. This was the way he spoke. He suddenly recalled the simple and direct way of chatting with Aoba. He couldn't help but reorganize his words and say, "What I mean is, aren't you curious about what I'm looking for you for?"
"Not curious." Aoba's tone was still very indifferent. His face was covered by a mask, and he looked like a machine that had no feelings.
"..."
Yuta was suddenly speechless.
This Boy.
He was not interested at all
He doesn't know how to chat!
How am I supposed to talk to you like this!
"Sigh..."
Yuta sighed helplessly. He understood more deeply that he had to speak to Aoba clearly and directly.
"Aoba."
"I have a mission."
"I need your help."
"What I mean is..."
Yuta paused for a moment, then habitually paved the way.
"This task is my task, not yours, so it doesn't matter if you don't help..."
When Yuta said this, he suddenly realized that he had misspoken.
You shouldn't have said so much!
You should have learned your lesson earlier!
This young man did not play according to the rules!
His way of thinking was different from that of a normal person!
Just as he was feeling vexed, Aoba's pair of black eyes, which had no fluctuations at all, met his gaze.
"Then I won't help you."
Aoba directly said the words that Yuta did not want to hear the most.
He still stood where he was, like nothing had happened.
He didn't look uncomfortable at all.
If he just said rejection casually, but he uses this reason to back down?
Such a person!
Yuta had never seen many of them in his life.
"You... really won't help me?" Yuta's eyelids jumped up. Don't be so cruel. At least you should first ask what the mission was!
"I won't help you."
Aoba shook his head and has a determined eye.
He was not joking at all.
