Chapter 390: I'm Thinking About What to Write!
Another three days passed.
During this period of time, Aoba did not go anywhere. Many shadow clones were practicing puppet techniques in the tower, and the story of Teacher Hou was written in the dormitory by the shadow clone.
Early in the morning.
Aoba got up from the iron bed. He did not continue to repeat what happened a few days ago. Instead, he walked out of Anbu's dormitory with his original identity.
He wanted to see Konohagakure's situation.
It had been a while since Chunin Exams' second round was held. There was a time interval between the second and third rounds of the exam. Now it was in this time interval.
Aoba felt that it was a little too quiet recently.
The death of three Iwagakure ninjas should have been received by Iwagakure. But until now, there was not much of a problem. This was very strange.
Aoba walked in the direction of Ramen Ichiraku.
The place where he could get the most information was Ramen Ichiraku Noodle House. The reason why he came back after a few days was to give this matter some time to develop. Now, he felt that it was about time.
If Iwagakure doesn't say anything...
Then it means that he failed in causing trouble.
He has to think of another opportunity.
But he didn't think it would be the case. Whether it was his feeling at the beginning or the things that appeared in Iwagakure ninja's memory, they all showed some problems. Iwagakure took the initiative to come to Konohagakure to cause trouble.
Aoba needed to involve Konohagakure in the Ninja World War. Coincidentally Iwagakure appeared and sent people to participate in Konohagakure's Chunin Exams. Moreover, Iwagakure also had many plans in their mind. This was an opportunity for Aoba.
So.
Aoba killed the three Iwagakure ninjas and hung them on the tower where Chunin Exams were held.
This made Iwagakure reason to trouble Konohagakure become even better.
This also gave Iwagakure an opportunity.
In this matter.
Aoba and Iwagakure could be said to be helping each other to get what they needed.
Therefore.
Aoba felt that Iwagakure would not let go of this opportunity. After waiting for a few days, there would definitely be news.
Not long after.
Aoba arrive at Ramen Ichiraku, lifted the curtain, and walked in. It was still early at this time, and there was no guest inside the Noodle House.
"Brother Teuchi!"
After entering the door, Aoba directly greeted Teuchi, and a smile appeared on his face.
Aoba's gaze fell on Teuchi. Teuchi was currently kneading dough. After hearing Aoba's voice, he immediately turned to look at Aoba.
Instantly.
The corners of Teuchi's mouth slightly curled up, revealing a smile. His eyes also narrowed into a slit.
"Aoba, you're here. Don't be idle. Help me knead the dough."
Teuchi was not polite to Aoba at all. He directly called Aoba over. After all, this was not the first time that he let Aoba knead the dough.
As the saying goes!
There would always be a second time!
"Okay!"
Aoba did not care about this at all. He directly rolled up his sleeves, went to the basin to wash his hands, put on the apron Teuchi handed over, and walked over.
"Brother Teuchi, has something happened in the village recently?"
Aoba was already beginning to knead the dough. When he was kneading the dough, he seemed to be chatting and asked casually.
As soon as he said this.
Teuchi immediately looked at Aoba.
He just stared straight at Aoba for a few seconds.
A meaningful smile appeared on his face. After that, he shook his head and said, "Nothing has happened in the village recently."
After hearing Teuchi's words, Aoba immediately fell silent. This was not the answer he wanted, but he believed that Teuchi would never lie to him on such a matter.
He simply did not say anything more.
"But..."
At this time, Teuchi's tone changed, and the smile on his face became even more intense.
"Many things have happened outside the village."
Teuchi looked at Aoba with a smile. He had just secretly played a word game. Something had indeed happened, but it was not in the village, but outside the village.
"What is it?" Aoba was stunned for a moment. After that, he instantly reacted and immediately realized that Teuchi had already learned bad things.
"Iwagakure has declared war on Konohagakure." When Teuchi said this, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared. A small figure like him hated wars the most. Once there was a war, it would inevitably affect his ramen business.
"Is it finally here?" Aoba sighed deeply. He seemed to feel sorry, but in fact, he was relieved.
"I don't need to explain the cause of this matter. You participated in the Chunin Exams, so you should know more clearly. I don't know what exactly happened. I just heard that Iwagakure's Tsuchikage was furious because of what happened to those three participants. Now, Iwagakure's ninja has already set up an outpost at the border. The war is going to start in just a few days." Teuchi said slowly. As he spoke, he looked at Aoba. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Tsuchikage-sama actually values those three participants so much. This is really interesting!" Aoba said with a sneer. Although he knew that Onoki would definitely attack Konohagakure, this excuse was too lame. No one would think it was an excuse. However, what Iwagakure wanted from the beginning was just a reason.
"I don't know when this battle will end." Teuchi shook his head. According to his experience, this kind of world war involving many villages would continue for a few years, and it would be almost impossible to calm down.
"When Minato returns, the war will end, but I hope that we can fight a little longer before the war ends. Only then will the Ninja World realize how powerful Minato is!" Aoba said indifferently. He was very confident in Minato, not only because Minato was his good friend, but also because he had seen Minato's genius figure in anime. Unfortunately, this kind of Minato could only live in memories.
"You have so much confidence in Minato?" Teuchi looked at Aoba in surprise. He also had confidence in Minato, but after all, he was not Aoba, and he was not very clear whether the so-called Mount Myoboku was really as powerful as Aoba described. This was why there were many questions in his heart.
"Very confident!"
Aoba nodded, and a smile appeared on his face. He did not look at Teuchi, but stared at the dough in front of him that was constantly being kneaded by him, and his eyes seemed to be looking forward to the future.
"When Minato comes back, the ninja world will recognize this super genius again. Not only can you see the shadow of the Second Hokage, but you can also see some of the elegance of the First Hokage!"
Aoba's tone was very slow, and there was strong confidence in it.
This was his confidence in Minato.
Looking at the things in the comics he knew, many times in retrospect, he felt that they belonged to plot killings.
After all.
With Minato's strength.
The superb Flying Thunder God combined with the Rasengan he developed.
No matter what kind of battle, no matter how powerful the opponent was, even if he didn't want to fight, there was absolutely no problem in running.
In other words...
Whether it was Tobirama or Minato, they used the Flying Thunder God to coordinate their attacks to defeat the enemy. Only Aoba used this thing as a means of transportation, and most of the time, it was to be able to hold on and not expose his true strength.
According to the original historical trajectory.
Minato was already very powerful.
If he could perfectly grasp the Sage Mode now and control it.
In that case, his strength would rise to a new level!
According to the current ninja world, disregarding those unique existences, he was definitely an expert that could shake the ninja world.
"If you say so, then I have confidence. Then I won't panic. I just need to silently wait for Minato to return and harvest the battlefield." Teuchi still had the same questioning smile on his face. During the entire conversation, his expression did not change, and there was no panic at all.
"Don't worry, Minato will be fine." Aoba nodded. In fact, according to the current development trajectory, the Third Ninja World War had already deviated from the original historical track.
After all.
There was still a period of time before the Third Ninja World War on the original track.
At that time, the situation of the various villages was different.
The recuperation was over.
Many thoughts arose in the hearts of the various villages.
Coincidentally, the Third Kazekage mysteriously disappeared at that time, and Sunagakure was a group of dragons without a leader. This directly gave the various villages a great opportunity.
It was precisely for this reason.
Five Major Ninja Village's balance was directly broken.
However, it was different now.
The Third Kazekage was still alive. After the battle with Amegakure, both sides stopped at the same time. No one suffered too much loss. After all, there were other forces eyeing them covetously. No one dared to take the risk easily.
Except for this side.
Iwagakure and Kumogakure did not fight too fiercely.
All of them were still within the acceptable range.
Only Kirigakure was willing to risk their lives. Thinking about it, it was a clear stream in this great war. If everyone did not take it seriously, then what was the point of fighting?
Overall.
There was a very important reason.
That was balance.
Now that the forces of the ninja world were in a relatively balanced situation, all the friction was a small conflict with scruples, and no one could go all out.
This also ignited the flames of the so-called Third Ninja World War. Still, it failed to arouse substantial repercussions resulting in not many people dying in each village, and the lives of the people in the villages were relatively comfortable.
...
Half a day later.
One after another, guests began to enter Ramen Ichiraku's store.
Aoba also finished a bowl of ramen before leaving the Noodle House.
Although he didn't pay for this bowl of ramen, he didn't feel like he had paid for nothing. Instead, he felt like he had come here to work, and the reward was just a bowl of ramen.
This was a loss!
Aoba laughed at himself jokingly.
However.
This thought quickly disappeared.
Aoba slowly walked toward the direction of Anbu's dormitory. Right now, he had already begun to plan how to muddy the waters of this ninja world in his mind.
As the saying goes!
Heroes appear in troubled times!
If it was a peaceful era, then there was no way that kind of destined person would appear. The current ninja world was not chaotic enough, and the situation was still under the control of the Kage of the various villages.
These battles have not reached the level of bone-shattering at all.
Now, even if Minato returned, what awaited him wasn't a battlefield that was about to harvest. Especially if these matters were resolved through negotiations and other forms, then the final outcome would become meaningless.
Right now, Aoba was very clear about it.
If he wanted to let Minato have the qualifications to fight for the Hokage position at this time, then he had to do something.
He had been waiting for this opportunity all this time, and now Onoki came with this opportunity.
"Let me think about it..."
Aoba pinched his chin, constantly thinking about how to completely dismantle the forces in the ninja world.
This was not a situation that could be done casually.
He could also not make it so that when Minato came out in the end, he would not be able to end it. That would be even more embarrassing.
"Aoba!"
At this time, a voice sounded, and the tone was obviously much heavier, pulling Aoba out of his thoughts.
"Ah?!"
Aoba was stunned for a moment. Just now, he entered a more immersed state. He did not hear this person's words at all. From this tone, it seemed that it was not the first time he called him.
Immediately.
Aoba stopped in his tracks.
He looked in the direction of the voice.
When he looked over.
A man walked over. He was dressed in Konoha Military Police Force's attire. It was Uchiha Fugaku.
"Brother Fugaku!"
After seeing Fugaku, Aoba immediately greeted the latter. However, he did not have any intention of being too close to him. After the Chunin Exams matter, he felt that Fugaku was a big pit.
No wonder the Second Hokage had such a big prejudice against the Uchiha!
As long as the people of this clan opened their Mangekyo Sharingan, their thinking could not be inferred with common sense. There was almost no normal person.
Aoba originally thought that Fugaku was a bit more normal, but when he re-examined him, it was still very abnormal.
"What are you thinking about? I called you a few times, but you didn't respond. What's wrong? Is there something on your mind?" Fugaku was extremely enthusiastic which was the Uchiha clan characteristic of those they deem important.
"No..."
"I am... um..."
"How should I put it..."
Aoba's mind quickly turned, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He stared at the Fugaku and slowly spoke.
"I'm thinking about what to write!"
