The Calm Before the Storm

As soon as Hari finished speaking, the expressions of the staff officer in Kumogakure's envoy group changed drastically.

"What are you doing?"

"What do you mean?"

"What are you going to deal with?"

"Speak clearly!"

"..."

The staff officers once again began to attack Hari with their mouths, causing Hari's head to hurt.

"Hurry up!"

Hari didn't want to hear their words anymore, so he turned around and left.

The ninjas followed closely behind and quickly left this place.

After that.

As Hari and the ninjas left.

The staff officers all looked at the two ninjas who were left here. Their faces were slightly pale, and their eyes were flashing with fear. They had already realized what was going to happen.

Under the gaze of these staff officers.

The two ninjas stretched their hands to their waists and pulled out the swords at their waists. The sharp blades of the swords flashed with a dazzling cold light under the light of the indoor lights.

Then.

The two ninjas looked at each other.

They nodded at each other.

Swish!

The figures of the two flashed at the same time, charging straight at the staff officers.

Swords flashed, and blood flew everywhere.

As the swords in the hands of the two ninjas continuously slashed, the staff officers let out screams one after another.

A few breaths later.

The place quieted down.

Every staff officer was lying in a pool of blood.

Then.

The two ninjas quickly chased after Hari.

The next day, early morning.

Aoba stretched and struggled to wake up from the iron bed. As usual, he went to wash up and prepare for work.

For Konohagakure, the night that had just passed was destined to be a sleepless night.

However, Aoba still slept peacefully for half a night.

After washing up.

Aoba changed into Anbu's ninja outfit, put on the cat face mask, and walked directly towards Konohagakure Intelligence Division.

Not long after.

Aoba arrived at his compartment.

It was still the same as yesterday.

Not a single prisoner was sent over.

The entire Konohagakure Intelligence Division seemed to have been emptied and become very quiet.

For such a situation.

Aoba was also more than happy about this. He sat directly on the small bench, slowly closed his eyes, and began to reread Gasshi's memories.

According to Gasshi's memories.

Gasshi was stronger than Otai, who had died in his hands earlier.

Especially in the aspect of the lightning release body technique.

His attainments were very high!

Aoba carefully examined Gasshi's memories, wanting to obtain some of the lightning release body technique methods and some of his experience.

He didn't have any good feelings toward Kumogakure. However, he still recognized their lightning release body technique - Raiton Chakura Mōdo(Lightning Release Chakra Mode) formed by the lightning chakra covering their entire body. Whether in terms of offense or defense, it was an extremely tyrannical and terrifying technique.

If there was a chance.

Aoba still wanted to learn it!

Just like this.

Time ticked by.

It was almost noon.

No one had been sent over.

Aoba was completely immersed in Gasshi's memories. Those memories were not something that could be finished in a short time.

But for the other interrogator ninjas, waiting in this dark place was an intolerable torment.

Another period of time passed.

Some noisy sounds began to ring outside the compartment.

These interrogator ninjas were too idle.

It's like fishing at work and sleeping in class.

If there was nothing to do at all.

On the contrary, it felt like time had passed very long, and it was also very torturous.

"Everyone, gather in the black room!"

Right at this moment,

A loud and clear voice rang out, instantly tearing apart the silence in the darkness, clearly entering everyone's ears.

"Everyone, gather in the black room!"

"..."

This person did not end after saying it once. Instead, he kept repeating the same words like a recorder. As he walked, he walked to the compartment door one after another.

This person's voice.

It also entered Aoba's ears.

All of a sudden.

Aoba opened his eyes.

"Finally!"

The corners of Aoba's mouth behind the mask curled up slightly. From yesterday's abnormal situation, he felt a sense of the calm before the storm.

That was only the arrival of Kumogakure's envoy group.

After what had happened last night.

It had become a completely different level!

"The main theme of this meeting should be the state of war!"

Aoba slowly got up, tidied up his clothes, then pushed open the door of his compartment and walked out.

Step step step...

Aoba had just walked out when he heard the footsteps around him. The interrogator ninjas here all walked in the direction of the black room.

Aoba glanced at it a few times.

He discovered that there were quite a few people.

There should be about thirty to forty people!

The surging crowd looked just like how it was when school ended.

Aoba was mixed in the crowd.

He was in an inconspicuous corner.

He followed everyone to Konohagakure Intelligence Division's black room.

Another period of time passed.

Almost all of Konohagakure Intelligence Division's ninjas were here.

The atmosphere now became quiet and solemn. No one discussed or spoke at this time.

The people here were not like Aoba, who did not care about anything.

Many of them went to watch the bustle last night and roughly knew that something had happened, but they were not particularly clear about it.

Step step step step...

At this time, steady footsteps sounded. Along with the sound of footsteps, a man in a black trenchcoat walked out under the gaze of everyone and stood at the small table in front of them.

This person was Konohagakure Intelligence Division Captain, Morino Eaton.

Eaton was tall to begin with, and with his height, he could see everyone present.

"Is everyone here?"

Eaton's deep voice rang out. His voice was not loud, but the atmosphere was too quiet. This voice clearly entered everyone's ears and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

As he spoke.

Eaton's gaze swept over everyone.

When he saw Aoba in the corner.

His gaze stayed on Aoba for a second longer and gave him a faint look as if he was greeting Aoba.

Then, he shifted his gaze to the next person.

After all, there were many people here.

It was not good for Eaton to express anything.

"Everyone should be here."

Seeing that no one answered his question, Eaton answered himself.

"Since everyone is here, let's say something important."

Eaton's voice suddenly raised a few decibels, and his tone became more serious than before. This change in volume and tone aroused everyone's attention.

All of a sudden.

Every ninja in Konohagakure Intelligence Division stared at Eaton, waiting for his following words.

"About a year ago, I told you that the Third Ninja World War will descend upon the Ninja World in less than three years."

Eaton's face was very heavy. When talking about war, no one was willing to face it.

However.

He doesn't know.

That Eaton's words.

When Aoba heard it.

It gave him a feeling that the other party had predicted correctly.

A sense of déjà vu.

"The war is coming!"

Eaton's voice continued to ring. As he spoke, he looked around at everyone.

"Some of you may need to change your positions."

"We won't keep so many people to deal with the interrogation work inside the village!"

"We need to use more people to interrogate the prisoners and spies brought back from the front line, as well as spies who sneak into the village at any time."

"I hope you can adapt to the latest work as soon as possible!"

"Let us, Konohagakure Intelligence Division, do the logistics work for the village's battle!"

"If anyone has any problems..."

"You can come to find me!"

Eaton's tone was filled with an unquestionable dominance. This was far more intense than what he usually showed. The aura of being in a high position for a long time was displayed in this instant.

After saying that.

Eaton picked up a scroll.

Under everyone's gaze, he slowly opened it.

In a split second.

Everyone present held their breath, and everyone became nervous.

They were very clear.

This scroll was their latest planned position.

Some people were worried.

Some people were looking forward to it.

Some people didn't care at all.

"The people who I read out their names will work in the compartment. They will be responsible for interrogating the prisoners in the village and maintaining the stability of the village during the war!"

After saying this, Eaton paused for a moment as if he was trying to keep them in suspense before announcing the results.

This position was the one that Aoba currently held.

It belonged to the super salted fish!

There wasn't much trouble every day, but there wasn't much room for improvement.

Especially during this period of war.

It could be said to be very comfortable, and at the same time, there would not be any achievements.

"Yamanaka Aoba!"

Eaton directly read out the first name. It was Aoba's name.

After he finished reading, he glanced in the direction of Aoba.

The look in his eyes seemed to be saying.

"If there are any problems, come find me later!"

At this time.

Aoba also understood why Eaton wanted to see everyone just now.

He wants to tell their position in this war.

The moment Aoba met Eaton's gaze, he slowly nodded, expressing his satisfaction in keeping his current position.

Eaton received the information feedback from Aoba accurately and then began to read the next name.

One name after another came out of Eaton's mouth
