Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer

Chapter 244: Let Me See Your True Face!

Chapter 244: Let Me See Your True Face!

Orochimaru left the forest.

Until the moment Orochimaru left, he did not see that person again.

"Interesting!"

As Orochimaru left, he recalled the battle of wits and courage with the other party.

"I didn't expect that person to be able to discard my scroll so easily!"

Orochimaru had used this move more than once. Anyone who took his scroll away was equivalent to taking him away.

He had already prepared the summoning seal on the scroll beforehand.

Once the scroll was opened, the summoning seal would be activated, and the transmission seal on it would be opened to summon the big snake.

Then he would use the snake spitting method to complete the purpose of this quick transmission.

Only...

This time, something unexpected happened.

The other party actually reacted so quickly and threw his scroll out. Moreover, there was no aura of anyone around.

"It has been a long time since Konohagakure had such a fun guy!"

Orochimaru sighed and walked back to his laboratory.

...

Under the disguise of Kami no Shisha no Jutsu(Paper Person of God Technique) on the tree trunk.

Aoba watched Orochimaru leave with his own eyes. Through this method, he determined that Orochimaru's last words were just misleading him.

"Orochimaru, you are smart but you are wrong!"

Aoba's face was cold, and his head quickly turned. Everything that happened just now flashed in his mind like a movie.

Just now when he was in the tower.

He really thought that Orochimaru saw his soul through the shadow clone.

Because according to the information he knew.

Hiruzen could use the shadow clone to cast the Demon Consuming Seal Technique.

At that time, Hiruzen used the shadow clone to pull away the souls of the First Hokage Senju Hashirama and the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama.

In addition to what Orochimaru said before.

He did not doubt it too much.

Until he found that the Corpse Dissolving Water that Orochimaru gave him was empty, the scroll was blank, and the summoning seal was also on it.

He immediately realized.

What Orochimaru said about being able to see through the soul was also fake!

Now was the best time to confirm.

If he did not make a certain decision, then when he faced Orochimaru again in the future, he would be restrained.

Of course.

When Aoba was guarding at the side, he had already communicated with the Flying Thunder God Formula with his mind.

Once Orochimaru made any strange movements.

He would immediately use Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) to leave the tree trunk.

It was just as he had predicted.

If Orochimaru could really see his soul, then no matter how he hid it, it would be useless. Sooner or later, he would be discovered by Orochimaru.

Regardless of whether Orochimaru judged the advanced paper clone's problem through his soul or not, he had to verify it!

He would treat this matter very cautiously!

He definitely couldn't let it go just like that!

Otherwise, even if he hid inside Konohagakure Intelligence Division, he would always be worried about being recognized by Orochimaru.

"It seems that none of the words that Orochimaru said to me are true. They are all fake!"

Aoba made a judgment in an instant. After all, there was another sentence in Orochimaru's words that was very easy to ignore and guide problems.

It was that sentence...

"Apart from me, no one else in the entire Konohagakure can see the problem with your clone. Don't worry and use it boldly!"

Aoba recalled this sentence.

It made him realize a problem that really needed his attention.

That was that the advanced paper clone had a flaw!

That flaw was the real reason why he had just revealed that he was a clone!

The reason why Orochimaru had him use it without worry was that he was waiting for him to reveal the problem.

Listen to everything in reverse!

"In that case..."

"Orochimaru can't see through the advanced paper clone at all!"

"He doesn't know who I am!"

"This is also why he gave me the scroll. He wants to come in front of me and see who I am!"

"How sinister!"

The moment Aoba saw Orochimaru leave and after he calmed down, he had already seen through the entire process just now.

Orochimaru used him to obtain information through his clone, and when he opened the scroll and could not react. He would suddenly appear in front of him.

As for what Orochimaru's goal was...

He definitely wasn't taking in a student!

He was taking in a student to make himself careless!

"Wait..."

"I understand!"

"Orochimaru is still a member of Root!"

"I see!"

"I understand everything!"

Aoba suddenly realized that he had neglected the simplest truth and the most important thing in this matter.

That was that the disappearance of the two Root ninjas had been informed to Orochimaru by Danzo.

It was precisely because of this reason.

From the moment Orochimaru saw these two advanced paper clones, he knew that they were fake.

However.

Orochimaru did not directly attack his advanced paper clone.

The most fundamental reason was...

Orochimaru had taken a fancy to his advanced paper clone technique!

Aoba was very clear that at this time, Orochimaru was not only studying immortality but also wanting to grasp all the ninjutsu in the world.

He suddenly encountered such magical ninjutsu.

It was inevitable that he would be tempted!

In that case...

Orochimaru's last sentence should be misleading him, making him feel that the advanced paper clones had no other flaws.

However.

Now, Aoba already knew the advanced paper clones' most fatal flaw.

That was when he simulated other people's identities.

It was likely to be recognized by an insider of the relevant identities.

However, some people did not think too much about it. For example, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen directly believed Aoba's words. They still had a real fantasy about the trust between people.

However, Orochimaru's reaction was quite fast. In just an instant, he determined that the two Root ninjas were clones. He instantly realized this and arranged such a series of tricks in seconds.

This was the brain of Orochimaru!

This was the most beloved student of the Third Hokage!

He was also a disciple that the brains of the Third Hokage could not grasp!

"Interesting, interesting, interesting. Then let us see who will take the advantage in the end!"

Aoba had been set up by Orochimaru, so he had to return something.

Since it was confirmed that the other party couldn't recognize the advanced paper clone at all.

It was entirely based on the power of intelligence.

Then...

Return the favor!

With a thought, Aoba quickly made a series of hand seals. Suddenly, a shadow clone appeared beside him.

The moment this shadow clone appeared, the paper on its body rolled up, directly changing into the appearance of another person.

This person was not someone else.

It was precisely Orochimaru who had just left.

In a split second.

The advanced paper clone, who had transformed into Orochimaru, instantly communicated with the Flying Thunder God Formula on the wall of Orochimaru's laboratory.

Swish!

This advanced paper clone flashed and disappeared.

Swish!

At the same time.

Aoba also used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique).

He returned to the second floor of the tower.

Sitting on the table he was sitting on just now, he pressed his hands against his temples and reviewed what had just happened again.

"Danzo had already told Orochimaru the news of the disappearance of the two Root ninjas. In his heart, it was equivalent to thinking that they were killed. Therefore, after seeing the advanced paper clone, he immediately determined that they were fake. In other words, if the two Root ninjas returned, Danzo would explain to Orochimaru again and cancel the missing information."

Aoba's brain quickly worked. In the current situation, he still had two advanced paper clones who had turned into Root ninjas and sneaked into Root.

The two advanced paper clones had not brought back the information.

This meant that Root's side was progressing faster than Orochimaru.

It could be judged that Root was relatively smooth.

Now that there was no news coming back, it was the best news.

In fact.

The matter was similar to Aoba's judgment.

No matter if it were Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Danzo, or even Third Hokage, everyone did not have such a paranoid pursuit in ninjutsu, so they could not think about ninjutsu whenever they encountered a situation.

Only Orochimaru if he saw two identical people. He would think about ninjutsu, and then use something like the soul to cheat.

...

At this time.

Not long after Orochimaru left the forest.

The forest was behind the prison. It was at least ten minutes away from Orochimaru's secret base. If he walked at a normal speed, it would take about thirty minutes.

Swish!

The advanced paper clone, who had turned into Orochimaru, instantly appeared outside the laboratory. His right hand was pressed against the wall, and his palm just happened to press on the circular pattern on the wall, instantly completing Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique)'s transmission.

Suddenly.

The assistant in Orochimaru's laboratory heard the noise outside.

"Who?"

The assistant immediately ran out of the laboratory and immediately saw Orochimaru, who had been transformed by the advanced paper clone technique at the door.

"Orochimaru-sama, didn't you go out? Why are you back so soon?" The assistant was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Are you in charge of my business?"

The fake Orochimaru's expression suddenly changed. He raised his right hand and touched the assistant's head.

The assistant's expression changed drastically when he saw Orochimaru raise his hand. He was so frightened that his neck shrank slightly. He wanted to dodge, but he did not dare.

Tap!

Aoba slapped the assistant on the head with his right hand.

"Ding Dong! Memory Reading Succesful! Obtained: Suiton: Bakusui Sh?ha(Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave)!"

A crisp electronic prompt sounded in Aoba's mind. Then, the memory of this assistant appeared in Aoba's advanced paper clone's mind.

"Your collar is messy."

Aoba's advanced paper clone imitated Orochimaru's tone. However, this tone was very gentle. Then, his right hand moved away from his hair to tidy up the latter's collar.

This action instantly caused the assistant to panic.

Just as Aoba was flipping through the assistant's clothes, a piece of paper appeared in his hand and stuck to the assistant's clothes without leaving a trace.

"Stand at the door and wait for me."

Aoba's advanced paper clone patted the assistant's shoulder and said indifferently. As he spoke, he quickly flipped through the assistant's recent memories.

"By the way."

Aoba's advanced paper clone immediately saw the memories that had just happened. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He turned to stare at the assistant and said with a smile, "There's lightning tonight."

"Yes! Orochimaru-sama!"

When the assistant heard this, he no longer had any doubts in his heart.

Just when Orochimaru had left.

He had specially told him this secret message.

There's lightning tonight.

Orochimaru told this assistant that if he did not say this hidden message, then it was very likely that it was someone else pretending to be him. He had to pay more attention. No matter what the other party asked, he would not answer.

Now, not only did Aoba say the hidden message that the two sides had agreed on, but he also did not ask anything. The assistant no longer had any doubts and directly guarded the door.

On the other hand, Aoba's advanced paper clone directly walked into Orochimaru's laboratory.

Once again, he saw the scene inside.

Aoba suddenly felt a burst of emotion.

The last time the advanced paper clone came, it was only less than half an hour later, but it was two completely different feelings.

Aoba's advanced paper clone's eyes swept through Orochimaru's laboratory. He could still see that there were people inside the cylinders filled with green nutrient fluids.

These people were now in a state of unconsciousness.

It could be seen that all of them still had breath, and none of them were dead.

However, they were not far from death.

If there was no accident, these people have been injected with the First Hokage cells, in order to cultivate the wood release ninja.

Aoba was not in the mood to care about these people at all. In the assistant memory, he had already seen where Corpse Dissolving Water was.

Suddenly.

Aoba quickly ran to the experiment table.

He pulled open the drawer under the drawer that Orochimaru had opened.

One bottle after another appears in front of him.

Aoba did not hesitate to directly put all of these Corpse Dissolving Water into his ninja bag. There were nearly twenty bottles.

Not a single bottle was left for Orochimaru.

After taking all of them.

Aoba took out a piece of paper from the ninja bag.

He immediately wrote a line of words on it in Yuta's handwriting.

After writing it down.

Aoba's advanced paper clone directly placed this piece of paper into the drawer where the Corpse Dissolving Water was previously stored.

The next moment.

Aoba's advanced paper clone immediately used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) and disappeared.

...

Tower, second floor.

Aoba sat on his desk, thinking about all the problems that had just happened.

All of a sudden.

A figure appeared behind him.

It was the advanced paper clone who had transformed into Orochimaru.

"I have completed the mission and obtained a memory. Check it yourself."

The advanced paper clone instantly removed his shadow clone state and let out an explosive sound before completely disappearing.

Hum!

Aoba's head trembled slightly.

In an instant, images of scenes appeared in his mind.

It was the memory of the assistant in Orochimaru's laboratory.

This assistant had participated in many of Orochimaru's experimental projects. Some of them even participated in the whole process. This assistant had left behind many precious images and information in his memory. It was still very valuable.

"Hahahahaha!"

Aoba seemed to have thought of Orochimaru's defeated look. He could not help but laugh out loud. Then, his gaze fell on the twenty bottles of Corpse Dissolving Water on the desk.

"Orochimaru-sama, didn't I still get these little things? But that's not the main point. I have learned a lot from you!"

Aoba was not mocking him. He really thought this way. Just now, Orochimaru had taught him a lesson, allowing him to learn a lot of experience. In the future, when facing such things, he would be calmer.

After all, people all improved!

Aoba felt that as a person who came from the modern world to the ninja world. After more than a year, he can gradually keep up with the pace of the ninja world, which was not easy.

...

Konohagakure, somewhere in the forest, Orochimaru's secret base.

Orochimaru, who had just left through the summoning seal, returned to the entrance of the secret base after confirming that he had gained nothing.

Orochimaru easily pushed the stone door open and walked in.

Rumble...

The sound of the stone door immediately attracted the attention of the assistant in the base.

The assistant glanced at the door of the laboratory next to him and found that there was no movement inside. He guessed that Orochimaru might be busy.

After that, he quickly went to the door.

Just as he rushed to the door.

He saw a figure walking down the dark stairs. It was Orochimaru.

"Huh?"

When the assistant saw the real Orochimaru, a puzzled look flashed across his eyes.

'Something is wrong!'

'There is a problem here!'

'Orochimaru-sama is clearly in the laboratory.'

'He had not come out at all.'

'Moreover, that Orochimaru-sama had spoken the secret code.'

'That was the real Orochimaru-sama!'

'Then...'

'Who is the person in front of him now?'

The assistant fixed his eyes on Orochimaru. He thought of what Orochimaru had told him before he left.

If someone who looked like him appeared.

If that person did not say the secret message.

Then it was fake!

"Who are you?"

The assistant's voice became cold. He used the elimination method to confirm that the real Orochimaru in front of him could not say the secret massage.

"Your alertness is not bad!" Orochimaru was stunned. After seeing the assistant's expression, he immediately thought of his arrangements when he left and praised the assistant.

"How dare you disguise yourself as Orochimaru-sama in front of me!" The assistant snapped.

He acted as if he had not heard Orochimaru's praise.

He stared coldly at Orochimaru.

Then, he took out a kunai.

He aimed the kunai at Orochimaru.

He assumed a fighting appearance.

The entire process, as well as the expression between his eyebrows, completely regarded Orochimaru as an enemy.

"Your alertness seems to be a bit too high. You can first ask me for the secret message. After confirming my identity, you can act like this. Now, it is a bit too hasty." Orochimaru said with a smile. Now he felt that this child was not so cautious. He was more reckless and a little inconsiderate.

"Continue to act!"

The assistant waited for Orochimaru's eyes to blink and directly stabbed the kunai at Orochimaru's face.

"Let me see your true face!"

The assistant immediately roared and attacked quickly without mercy. From this bitter angle, it seemed like he was going to cut off Orochimaru's face.

"Are you crazy?"

Orochimaru suddenly widened his snake-like eyes. He looked at the assistant in front of him who had changed into a different person and suddenly wondered if this assistant had been transformed by someone else...
