Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer

Chapter 276: This Is My Confidence!

Chapter 276: This Is My Confidence!

At this time.

Kaze was in a state of disappointment.

After searching, he found that there was no brain in this charred skull.

Nothing.

It didn't even have a single neuron.

There was no place where there was even the slightest fragment of memory.

It was not that his ability to read minds was not good, but that there was no way to read this corpse.

Thinking of this.

Kaze was ready to withdraw his chakra and stop searching for memories.

Although he did not find neurons and did not read memories, he was already deeply tired after continuously using chakra for half an hour.

But...

Just as he was about to withdraw his chakra.

A change suddenly occurred.

He felt the existence of a neuron!

"This..."

Kaze's mood suddenly tightened, and a strong sense of joy emerged in his heart. However, this feeling had just appeared, and he still could not believe it was true.

Suddenly.

Kaze began to exert more chakra.

It surged toward the bottom of the skull.

From the feeling of chakra, he didn't find anything. It was still that empty skull.

But from the feeling.

He was very sure that he had detected a little neuron.

He did not have the leisure to think about what was going on. One had to know that this opportunity was fleeting. He had to seize any opportunity to read its memories quickly.

Kaze immediately used the Yamanaka clan mind-reading secret technique. He did not dare to hesitate for a moment. He was afraid that if he hesitated a little, this feeling would disappear, and he would not be able to find it again.

Obviously, this skull was in an unconventional phase.

Maybe after reading it once.

There would be no second chance.

Hum!

Along with the increase in chakra in Kaze's hand, this skull violently trembled.

At this moment.

He saw fragmented memories from its neuron.

This person was Kumogakure Advisor, the leader of Kumogakure's envoy group. His main purpose was to come here to have a peace talk with Konohagakure.

Kaze instantly sensed this bit of information.

This discovery made every cell in his body feel strong excitement.

'The opportunity came!'

'The opportunity to be promoted came!'

After that.

The broken picture changed.

In Kumogakure Advisor's eyes, there was a sealed scroll. This was a secret mission given to him by the Country of Lightning daimyo.

Mission 1: Go to Konohagakure and have a peace talk with them. After completing the peace talk, cooperate with Brei to complete the assassination of the Third Hokage.

Mission 2: Contact Kumogakure Jonin, Gasshi. Let Gasshi save Hari on the surface, but in fact, kill Hari. This person is too much of a threat to the village.

Mission 3:...

Kaze had just seen the first two missions, and the memory fragments suddenly became blurred, and the contents of the latter could not be seen at all.

Then.

The last fragment appeared.

Kumogakure Advisor looked at the wood that Brei brought over. It was covered with an explosive tag.

Then, Brei said something to Kumogakure Advisor.

It was vague.

One could vaguely hear the words "Konohagakure", "Third Hokage", "Seal" and so on.

In an instant.

The memory fragments stopped abruptly.

The entire scene disappeared.

"Phew..."

Kaze suddenly took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. He tried to calm his mood as much as possible. Then, he controlled his chakra again and sent it to the neurons.

"Huh?!"

Behind the mask, Kaze frowned slightly. He felt a very strange feeling.

There was nothing!

The neurons were gone!

It was as if they were utterly destroyed after encountering his chakra!

There was no more reaction!

"No!"

"Not enough!"

"It's not enough at all!"

Kaze suddenly felt anxious in his heart. He seemed to have gone crazy and crazily poured chakra into this charred skull, trying to find other neurons as much as possible.

However.

This was simply a brainless skull.

It was impossible to read any more memories.

Or...

Without Aoba's help, Kaze would not even be able to grasp this bit of memory.

...

In the room.

The Yamanaka Clan ninjas gradually put down their task of reading memories.

Their faces began to calm down.

Unlike Aoba and Kaze, they had taken off their masks to facilitate communication.

Almost everyone experienced the same emotional ups and downs.

From the excitement at the beginning, they gradually became confused and anxious, then finally became calm.

Most of them had already resigned themselves to their fate!

Looks like...

The blessing of fate this time was not on them.

They had already searched for memories to the extreme, but there was no luck.

None of these corpses seemed to have important memories.

Even if some corpses were exchanged, they already know it.

These corpses were all Kumogakure ninjas. They were not members of the envoy group at all. According to their memories, they had a rough idea of what had happened before they came to Konohagakure. However, there was not much substantial information.

For a moment.

Everyone fell into silence.

Just at this time.

They saw Kaze crazily injecting chakra into the skull.

Each of them had a very wonderful expression on their face.

"Another crazy one!"

They could not help but shake their heads. They were all people who had chosen corpses in turn. From the first team to the last team, everyone had experienced the process of picking corpses. Everyone had seen this skull.

There was no brain in this skull.

It was impossible to get memories.

It was completely placed here to fill in the numbers.

When they were picking the corpses, they had already discovered the problem with this skull.

It was precisely because of this.

No one had chosen this corpse just now.

When everyone saw Kaze's appearance, they couldn't help but laugh.

"To use a mind reading secret technique on a brainless corpse, this Kaze is really interesting!"

"Is he still thinking of finding any information?"

"Don't joke around; there is no information at all!"

"This place is full of Kumogakure ninjas. Their experiences are almost the same; there is nothing!"

"That's right..."

"They were all killed by explosive tags. The broken limbs may not even belong to the same person."

"..."

They discussed among themselves. They had been reading memories for a long time, and everyone was tired. Now, they had gradually accepted reality. They knew that they could not get any important information, so they simply stopped struggling.

"Silence!"

Akira, who was overseeing the place, saw the state of everyone and roughly understood what it meant.

He was also a member of the Yamanaka clan.

What he usually did at Root was to read memories.

Now that he saw the other clansmen in such a loose state, they no longer had the excitement they had when they first came here. It was obvious that they had already suffered a setback.

This meant that there was no useful information among these corpses.

Even if it were a cake.

It was just an empty cake.

You can't eat it at all.

As a Sensor Ninja at Root, it was normal for Akira not to be able to get effective information after the memory reading.

...

As soon as Akira said this.

The scene fell into silence again.

At this time.

Everyone knew that they could not seize this opportunity to be promoted.

But they were not uncomfortable.

After all.

They could not grasp it, and others could not.

Everyone was still the same!

This way, there would be no problem!

As long as everyone does not get this opportunity for promotion and everyone maintains a rare consistency, they can all achieve spiritual comfort.

"Do you all still want to continue completing the mission?"

Akira's gaze swept over everyone, and his eyes flickered with a questioning light. He wanted to know the true thoughts of these clansmen and determine if it were time to look for Danzo.

As soon as these words came out.

Complete silence.

No one chose to answer Akira's question.

After all.

No one had any way to obtain any useful information.

Even if they continued to stay in this place, It was completely useless.

It was better to give up on the mission and leave.

But.

These kinds of words.

No one dared to say it.

After all, it was a mission issued by Danzo.

"I understand."

When Akira saw everyone's attitude, he already understood what they meant. Then, he looked at Yamanaka Midori, who was beside him.

"Inform Danzo-sama." Akira nodded at Midori.

"Yes."

Midori immediately responded. He turned around and walked toward the stone door, and disappeared.

Suddenly.

Everyone became nervous.

They knew that no one had read any effective information. Logically speaking, they would not receive any punishment. However, the person who issue was Shimura Danzo. This made their hearts filled with fear.

Gradually.

Time slowly passed.

In this state.

These ninjas were all in a relatively nervous state.

No one dared to make a sound.

They silently waited for Danzo to arrive.

Every second passed.

It was like a year had passed.

Even though they didn't know how long they had been waiting, they felt that a very, very long time had passed.

Suddenly.

Footsteps sounded outside the stone door.

Everyone was extremely nervous.

Rumble!

At this moment, the stone door was opened. A man wearing a dark green robe with a bandage on his head walked in.

It was the boss of Root, Shimura Danzo!

Everyone's heart was in a nervous state. No one dared to speak, not even daring to look up at Danzo's eyes. There was only one thing they were thinking about now, and that was to finish this mission quickly and return safely.

At this moment.

Their mood was completely different from when they first came in.

At that time, they were in high spirits and wanted to go all out. Now they just felt physically and mentally exhausted and wanted to escape this place quickly.

"How is the mission going?"

After Danzo entered the room, his gaze swept over the bodies of the Yamanaka Clan's ninjas. His tone was indifferent, and there was no emotion in it, but it made people feel pressured.

Suddenly.

The room became even quieter.

This kind of extremely quiet state allowed everyone to hear their own heartbeat.

No one dared to speak.

Because they did not have any valuable information.

As for the experiences of Kumogakure ninjas, they were attacked by Kirigakure ninjas and were killed by explosive tags explosions at Konohagakure's main entrance...

This kind of information.

It was definitely not something that could be revealed.

They knew with their toes that Danzo definitely knew all of this.

When Danzo first issued the mission, they already knew that the goal of this mission was to dig deep into the memories of these people.

"Didn't you find anything?"

Danzo felt the state of these people and immediately had a rough guess in his heart.

It could be seen very clearly through their expressions.

Everyone lowered their heads.

If there were any discoveries.

It was likely that they would immediately report to him the moment he entered.

"It doesn't matter. This is the mission. It's good that you did your best."

Danzo did not blame them, nor did he say any harsh words. He could see that the ninjas here had already gone all out.

These people now.

They were like warriors who bravely rushed into the battlefield.

Even if the battle failed.

But it should not all be their responsibility!

During this period of time, Danzo would communicate with Hari if he had little time.

Hari, who has Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal implanted, had already become a member of Root. Because his body was paralyzed and he could not move, he no longer had any ambitions. He completely became Danzo's advisor and helped Danzo plan.

Hari only had one final request!

That was to find the person who had harmed him!

And to use Konohagakure's power to get rid of the person who had harmed him!

Danzo shook his head. It seemed that this group of people did not know anything. There was nothing in their memories. After such a deep digging, they did not find anything. Then they definitely did not know anything.

"Then... let the mission end!"

Danzo let out a sigh of relief. He didn't have much of an emotional fluctuation. From the beginning, he only had the attitude of trying. He wanted to see if he could find some clues through this method.

Compared to Danzo.

These Yamanaka Clan ninjas were even more disappointed.

They all felt that they had lost a precious opportunity to be promoted.

At this moment.

Kaze, who was standing next to the iron shelf where the charred skull was located, suddenly had a bright look in his eyes.

Not long ago.

He clearly felt that these Yamanaka ninjas in the room were looking at him with disdain and ridicule.

They even started to mock him without any disguise.

The reason for the mockery.

Because he poured a large amount of chakra into this charred skull.

In the eyes of those people.

It was impossible for him to get memories from this charred skull.

Indeed, he had not been able to find any more traces after using a large amount of chakra.

But.

He had previously read a few pieces of memories.

Although he did not know that those memories were something that Aoba wanted to show him, he clearly knew that he had gotten something.

As Danzo walked into the room.

He understood that his opportunity had come.

However, he did not stand out from the beginning. Instead, he waited here. He needed an excellent opportunity to show off his talents that no one appreciated.

He saw the anticipation in Danzo's left eye that was exposed outside. As everyone fell silent, it gradually turned into helplessness. Finally, there was a faint sense of disappointment.

'Sure enough!'

'None of these people had discovered anything!'

Kaze felt that his gamble had succeeded!

The moment he was waiting for had arrived!

Now was the best moment!

Everyone present did not have any information. Even Danzo was about to leave in disappointment. Only he could bring out crucial information!

'Wait a minute...'

All of a sudden.

Kaze immediately realized.

He had overlooked someone.

Instantly.

He quickly looked at Aoba, who was in the corner from the corner of his eye.

He saw that Aoba had already stood up. His dark eyes were staring at Danzo, and his eyes were shining with pride.

That's right!

It was pride!

It was as if something very satisfying had happened!

This was completely different from the depression of the others!

"Did he discover something?"

Kaze suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his heart. He understood that the current competition could only be between the two of them.

Then he had to take a step forward and seize the initiative.

Whoever speaks first will be the first to reap the best opportunity to suppress Danzo's emotions.

This way, he could win the attention of more people and become the focus of the entire room.

Of course.

Kaze had no idea.

Aoba did not want to be the center of attention at all.

It was precisely because Aoba did not want to be the center of attention that he pushed him out to be at the center of attention.

"Danzo-sama!"

At this moment, Kaze immediately raised his right hand and shouted at Danzo. As he spoke, his left hand grabbed at the mask and directly took it off, revealing an extremely delicate face.

Swish!

All of a sudden.

Everyone's eyes focused on Kaze.

Everyone was attracted by Kaze's words, and their eyes were full of confusion as they looked at Kaze.

What is this kid trying to do?

A big question mark popped up in everyone's heads. None of them thought that Kaze would be able to get some key information. After all, Kaze had only obtained a charred skull.

"Have you found anything?"

Danzo looked over, and his gaze stopped on Kaze's face. He instantly learned of Kaze's information through his face.

This was not to say that Danzo had some special ability.

Rather, as the boss of Root, Danzo had some understanding of the intelligence of every ninja in the village.

Who is what.

He knew better than anyone else.

After all.

He had to be responsible for Konohagakure's safety.

He had to bear the darkness of Konoha.

To stifle a possible crisis in the cradle, he must not threaten the status of him and the Third Hokage.

'Yamanaka Kaze!'

'Other than some extremely simple ninjutsu, he could not learn any other techniques.'

'As a ninja of the Yamanaka clan.'

'He only knew the Mind-Reading Secret Technique of the Yamanaka Clan!'

'Besides that, he could not learn any of the other secret techniques!'

'For the Yamanaka clan...'

'He could be considered half a piece of trash!'

'It wasn't of much use!'

'Could it be...'

'Did such a person discover any information?'

Danzo's left eye, which was exposed to the outside, stared closely at Kaze. Hope once again appeared in the depths of his eyes.

The change in Danzo's eyes.

It fell into the eyes of the ninjas present.

Immediately, the corners of their mouths began to rise, and they couldn't help but reveal mocking expressions.

This Kaze was simply a retard!

This was the most direct thought of everyone.

This mission had already failed!

Everyone had failed!

Then he might as well just admit it!

Danzo-sama had already given up on pursuing this matter, but you had to jump out on your own.

Now, it had already attracted Danzo-sama's anticipation.

If he could not satisfy Danzo-sama.

Then it won't end so well.

At this moment.

Kaze felt everyone's gaze.

This made him fully feel the gaze he had never felt before.

This feeling made him intoxicated!

This made his entire body surged with electricity, making him feel especially excited!

"That's right!"

Kaze immediately nodded. His voice was very loud and clear, and it could clearly echo throughout the entire room, allowing every ninja present to hear it clearly.

"Danzo-sama!"

Kaze stared at Danzo. His slightly immature face was filled with determination, and his eyes flashed with unprecedented confidence.

"I found an important piece of information!" Kaze immediately shouted.

Oh!

As Kaze said this, all the Yamanaka Clan's ninjas present were stunned

Everyone couldn't believe their ears.

Wasn't this an exaggeration?

That's not true, right?!

With that charred skull?!

Everyone was all dumbfounded.

But none of them spoke.

After all, Danzo was here.

No one dared to do anything sarcastic in front of Danzo.

"Did you really find something?"

Danzo's eyes, which were exposed to the outside, suddenly lit up. Even he felt a sense of reversal. Originally, he no longer had any expectations. Now, after hearing Kaze's words, his expectation was instantly filled.

"That's right!"

Kaze directly picked up the charred skull on the iron shelf in front of him. Under the gaze of countless people, he raised his hand and pointed at the skull. The entire action looked extremely confident. It did not seem like he was lying at all. Instead, he was really confident.

"This is the corpse that I read!"

Kaze's voice slowly sounded. His tone was sonorous and forceful as if he was venting the dissatisfaction that he had been looked down upon for so many years.

"No one dared to choose this corpse because he was in the center of the explosion when he was alive. It could be said that he was swallowed by the flames in an instant. His brain was completely melted and then evaporated by the high temperature, leaving only a skull!" Kaze did not directly say his results but first laid down how harsh its conditions were. Since the opportunity was so difficult, he had to grasp it firmly.

Suddenly.

Danzo's eyes lit up.

He saw the skull in Kaze's hand.

His heart was filled with anticipation.

No one knew better than him who this skull was.

After all, he was there at the time.

Moreover, he sent people to collect the corpses.

This was the leader of Kumogakure's envoy group, that Kumogakure Advisor.

It was just that...

Just as Kaze had said.

The skull's brain had been completely melted and then evaporated, and there was no way to read its memories.

Even Akira couldn't do anything about it!

However.

He still placed the skull here.

He hoped that someone would be able to pry out Kumogakure Advisor's memories.

He was very clear.

The memories inside were the most important among these people!

"Kaze, can you read the memory of this skull?" Danzo immediately asked Kaze.

"I did it!"

Kaze nodded firmly. When he heard Danzo directly call out his name, a warm feeling immediately surged in his heart.

It should be known that not many of his Anbu colleagues knew his name, and they did not even look him in the eye.

The dignified Danzo-sama actually directly called out his name.

This made him feel like he was being valued.

Immediately, the feeling of a scholar dying for a confidant arose.

"I found a neuron that still had memories in this skull. That neuron was instantly destroyed, but before the neuron was destroyed, I read several important memory fragments!" Kaze immediately said loudly. He said this because he wanted to get everyone's approval. This was also what he always wanted.

"Oh?"

This time.

Including Akira.

All of the Yamanaka Clan's ninjas present were puzzled.

"Kaze, you can't be making up a false memory, right? How can a person who has been burnt to such a state have neurons in his head?"

"Yes! You are making it up, right?"

"According to what you said, you are the only one who can read it. Others can't read it. There is no way to prove that what you said is true!"

"You don't have to lie to Danzo-sama for the promotion, do you?"

"..."

Voices of doubt sounded in the room. These Yamanaka Clan ninjas had no time to care whether Danzo was here or not.

They were not bickering.

Instead, they were making a judgment based on their knowledge of reading memories.

This skull did not even have skin.

It was impossible for it to have a single neuron left.

It just so happened that there were also memories inside.

How could there be such a coincidence?

After hearing what everyone said, Danzo's face started to turn ugly.

"Kaze, I hope you can tell the truth. If you can't read the memory, don't make it up. This is the basic quality of a ninja!" Danzo said in a low voice, and there was a hint of disapproval in his tone.

"I didn't make up the memory and didn't lie. I really read it!"

Kaze's voice raised a few decibels again, and his tender face showed some anxiety. After all, this was the first time he had encountered such a scene that was questioned by so many people. He had no experience and was a little flustered.

"I have been different from a normal person since I was young!"

"I can't learn complicated ninjutsu. I can't even learn the complicated secret technique of my clan!"

"But I also have my own strong points!"

Kaze's mood instantly reached its highest point. He had been waiting for this opportunity to vent his suppressed emotions.

"I can read more and more detailed memories!"

"In the field of the Mind-Reading Secret Technique, even the senior of the clan may not be my match!"

"This is my confidence!"

At this point, Kaze raised the charred skull in his hands and said something that shocked everyone.

"According to the memories I read, this person is the leader of Kumogakure's envoy group, and he is also the Kumogakure Advisor!"
