This person's voice was slightly old.
As soon as his voice came out.
Eaton's gaze also focused on Aoba.
"Yes."
Aoba nodded and immediately became cautious. He knew that the test waiting for him was coming.
"Come with me."
The masked Anbu Ninja did not say any unnecessary thing. He directly turned around and walked out of the small black room.
"Yes."
Aoba responded and followed behind the Anbu.
The two of them were one in front and one behind.
No one spoke along the way.
They walked for about three minutes.
And arrived at another room.
It was quite spacious.
He could see two cold iron beds, which looked like the bed in a morgue.
"Welcome to Analysis Division of Konohagakure Intelligence Division!"
After this Anbu Ninja spoke, he raised his right hand. He could see many wrinkles and old age spots on his exposed hand skin.
His right hand grabbed onto his mask.
Then, he removed the mask.
Immediately after that.
An old face entered Aoba's line of sight.
"Let me introduce myself."
"I am Konohagakure Intelligence Division, Analysis Division's Captain."
"Yamanaka Yuta."
"Whether it is in Yamanaka clan or in Konohagakure Intelligence Division, I am your elder."
"Of course..."
"Seniority is seniority, position is position."
"You can just call me Captain Yuta!"
Yamanaka Yuta said with a serious expression. His tone was not as strict as his expression. It was still a little friendly. Perhaps it was due to the prestige of being in a high position for a long time that he was not angry when facing the younger generation.
"Captain Yuta!"
Aoba immediately called out. He was very clear that the person in front of him was his direct superior.
Aoba sized up Yamanaka Yuta from head to toe.
This person looked to be over 50 years old.
His hair and eyebrows were already white.
His cheeks were so thin that they were directly wrapped around his bones, making him look like a skeleton.
"You must be very curious why I brought you here, right?" Yamanaka Yuta said.
"I'm not curious." Aoba shook his head.
"Oh?" Yamanaka Yuta was stunned for a moment. He obviously did not expect Aoba to answer like this. This made him a little curious. He could not help but ask, "Why?"
"I accept any task assigned to me!" Aoba replied.
"Very good!"
Yamanaka Yuta's eyes suddenly lit up.
The young man in front of him looked ordinary and simple.
He didn't have much thought.
It didn't seem very clever!
But.
This was exactly the person that Konohagakure Intelligence Division needed!
Whatever task I arranged for you, you will accept!
And then carefully carry out the task!
Don't ask anything!
You don't need to know why I want you to do this kind of task!
This was the basic quality that Konohagakure Intelligence Division's subordinates should have.
After all.
In Konohagakure Intelligence Division.
Even the subordinates with the lowest status.
They also hold very important and secret information.
"Now I will tell you about the future work arrangements."
"You will work in this room with me."
"You will be responsible for reading the memories of the corpse that just died!"
Yamanaka Yuta paused for a moment and then looked at Aoba deeply.
"Logically speaking..."
"This kind of mission should not be done by a newcomer like you."
"It is not that easy to read the memories of the corpse."
But.
"..."
"Captain Eaton thinks very highly of you."
"I hope you won't let him down."
"I worked for Konohagakure Intelligence Division for nearly 40 years. I was here before Captain Eaton came. I have never seen anyone like him."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Yamanaka Yuta's face suddenly became serious. He stared at Aoba with burning eyes, wanting to see the feedback from the expression on Aoba's face.
"Understood."
Aoba nodded. There was no change in his expression, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Fortunately...
At the current stage, he was dealing with corpses.
He did not directly read the memories of the real person.
There was no need to act too deeply!
For other Sensory Ninjas, searching for the memories of a real person was far easier than in corpses.
After all, it was a living person.
However.
Aoba was different.
He used the Mind Reading System to read memories, not the secret technique of the Yamanaka clan.
Even if it were for a dead person.
He could still read memories.
Moreover, he would receive a reward after reading memories.
Compared to reading a living person's sample that could produce spiritual energy backlash.
The dead people were dead people, they're nothing to worry about.
"Aoba, aren't you curious why Captain Eaton threw you here?"
Yamanaka Yuta stared at Aoba's face, completely unable to read anything.
This made him a little confused.
Was this young man proud or stiff?
Did he understand the meaning behind it?
"I'm not curious."
Aoba shook his head again.
Even though he kept telling himself to be careful and cautious.
However, this was not one of his curiosity.
There was no need to suppress his character.
He completely did not care where Eaton arranged him.
As long as he could read memories, it would be fine.
The difference between different working places was nothing more than the different growth rates.
Aoba did not want to be fast.
He only wanted to be steady.
This was also why he would rather be bored and wait in the dormitory than do any training.
Slow but steady.
One step at a time.
Even if he did not take a step forward.
But he definitely would not take a wrong step!
This was what Aoba was thinking right now. He would rather not improve than make mistakes and not put himself in a dangerous situation.
"What an interesting young man!"
A smile appeared on Yamanaka Yuta's skeleton-like face, but it did not look good.
"Let me tell you."
"Captain Eaton feels that war is coming soon."
"The state of war is different from that of peace."
"We don't have that many opportunities to capture ninja alive."
"Some things are often captured alive, which means that we have to pay a greater price."
"This requires our special Sensory Ninjas."
"We have to get information on the dead as much as possible!"
Yamanaka Yuta explained to Aoba. He originally planned to tell Aoba, but Aoba was not curious at all. He did not intend to keep these words in his heart.
"I understand." Aoba nodded and felt that what Eaton said was very reasonable.
"Then the problem is..." The look in Yamanaka Yuta's eyes changed again. He stared at Aoba and asked, "Do you think there will be a war in three years?"
"I don't know."
Aoba shook his head without hesitation. Even if he knew what would happen in the future and some news about the third Ninja War, he won't say anything.
No matter what he said.
Right.
Or something wrong.
It would all represent his judgment!
He would not easily say anything that could make people think that it was his subjective judgment.
Aoba's idea was very simple.
He just wanted to quietly read memory in Konohagakure Intelligence Division.
Other things.
Even if it were for war.
It had nothing to do with him.
