Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer

Chapter 371: These Two People Are Acting, Aren't They?

Chapter 371: These Two People Are Acting, Aren't They?

Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer Chapter 371 These Two People Are Not Acting Are They?

When Aoba's clone said that.

Uchiha Kaede and his two teammates beside him were stunned. They did not expect the other party to be so fearless.

"Kaede, let's go back!" Uchiha Kaede's teammate said in a low voice.

"Yeah! Let's not meddle in other people's business! It is more important to finish the Chunin Exams!" Another teammate beside Uchiha Kaede said.

"..."

Uchiha Kaede felt in his heart that the other party was particularly confident and that this person would be more difficult to deal with.

But...

When this thought had just appeared in his mind.

He heard the words of his two teammates.

The emotions in his heart suddenly emerged.

No!

If he retreated now...

Wouldn't he be no different from these two people?

"Do you think I wouldn't catch you just because of those words?"

Uchiha Kaede coldly looked at Aoba's clone, who had spread out his hands. His pair of blood-red magatama eyes revealed a very dissatisfied and angry emotion.

"Now, I will capture you and bring you back!"

"Capture you and then continue my Chunin Exams!"

"Others can't see it..."

"I can see it!"

"You are just bluffing!"

"You can't hide it from my Sharingan!"

Uchiha Kaede's tone became loud again. His voice was still the same way to strengthen his courage.

After he said this.

He immediately jumped out.

He rushed directly in the direction of Aoba's clone.

At the same time.

Shuriken appeared in Uchiha Kaede's hand and threw it toward Aoba's clone. He already looked like he was going to kill Aoba with the shuriken.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh...

One by one, the shuriken directly shot toward Aoba's clone. The speed was very fast, and the sharp blades were almost shining with a cold light.

"Do you only have this level of attack?"

Aoba's clone stared at the shuriken that Uchiha Kaede threw out and said indifferently.

"I don't even bother using ninjutsu with this attack level."

When Aoba's clone said this, the shuriken had already arrived in front of him. As these blades that flickered with cold light were about to pierce into his body.

All of a sudden.

Aoba's clone seemed to turn into a series of afterimages, directly dodging all the shuriken attacks.

The shuriken brushed past the clone's body, shooting into the ground behind him, not even touching his clothes.

After that.

Aoba's clone returned to his original position.

The entire process was extremely fast.

If they had not seen this scene with their own eyes, they might have had the illusion that Aoba had never moved.

"Katon..."

After throwing out those shurikens, Uchiha Kaede quickly formed seals with both hands. He was preparing to use fire-release ninjutsu on Aoba's clone.

Swish!

However.

At this time.

The clone's figure flashed out.

His whole body rushed out like lightning, and he was already in front of Uchiha Kaede in the blink of an eye. He suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Uchiha Kaede in the neck.

In the next moment.

Aoba's right hand directly lifted Uchiha Kaede. Chakra surged out from his right hand, and a special black marking began to spread in Uchiha Kaede's body like an ant.

The whole process was smooth and fast, without giving anyone time to react.

Whether it was Uchiha Kaede or the two teammates who followed Uchiha Kaede, they only realized this when Aoba's clone picked up Uchiha Kaede like he was catching a chicken.

"You... you... you..."

At this point.

An unprecedented feeling of fear arose in Uchiha Kaede's heart. At this time, he truly smelled the scent of death.

He was scared!

He was really scared!

Even his Sharingan was unable to operate normally!

"I gave you a chance."

Aoba's clone said indifferently. His dark eyes stared at Uchiha Kaede. Right now, he had no intention of doing anything to Uchiha Kaede.

In fact.

In a sense...

He like Uchiha Kaede's character to pursue an invading Kirigakure ninja. This was a kind of character that was very beneficial to the village!

However, he lacked some calmness.

To be exact, he was too impulsive!

In this way, not only would he not succeed, but he would also put himself in a dangerous situation. If he really met a Kirigakure ninja, he might already be a dead man.

After Aoba's clone finished speaking, the chakra on the right hand became more violent, and each symbol was like ants crawling over Kaede Uchiha's body, completely controlling the latter.

After these seals' appearance.

It directly locked Uchiha Kaede's body.

He couldn't move at all.

This was the first time Uchiha Kaede had come into contact with this situation. He had no idea what was going on. Although he was a ninja of the Uchiha clan, his knowledge of the sealing techniques was still not so profound. This was in his blind area.

Because of this.

Uchiha Kaede's heart became incomparably flustered!

At this time.

He had no idea what had happened to him, nor did he know what the ninja in front of him was planning.

A strong and terrifying feeling enveloped him.

"Are you two going to capture me too?"

Aoba's clone looked at Uchiha Kaede's two teammates. Now, he placed pressure on the two teammates beside Uchiha Kaede. This sudden question directly stunned the two people.

"No... no... no..."

"I don't dare..."

Uchiha Kaede's two teammates shook their heads. After what happened to Uchiha Kaede, how could they dare to provoke Aoba's clone?

One had to know...

Their combined strength could not compare to Uchiha Kaede.

Now that even Uchiha Kaede had been defeated so easily, it was still unclear whether he would be alive or dead. They were very clear about this situation.

"If you don't want to die..."

The clone's eyes lit up slightly. He thought of a very interesting method. He stared at Uchiha Kaede's two teammates.

"Then get out of here!"

The clone's voice was extremely indifferent, showing a great sense of oppression toward these two people and putting them in such a state of fear.

"This..."

Uchiha Kaede's two teammates looked at each other at this time. They could see the emotions in each other's eyes.

At this time.

Both of them were in a dilemma.

If they left directly, they were sure that Uchiha Kaede would die here. They had no way to explain to the Uchiha clan. Even if they escaped, more terrible things would await them.

But if they didn't run now, they wouldn't even be able to see the more terrible things behind them. They would die here directly.

These two choices were placed in front of the two.

All of a sudden.

Both of them were in a dilemma.

Running was death.

Not running was also death.

The lesser of two evils...

The two of them hesitated for a moment before deciding in their hearts. They nodded at each other. They had already realized the importance of this matter and had already decided in each other's hearts.

That was running!

Instantly.

The two immediately turned around and ran toward the other side of the forest.

Right after, the two of them left.

The hand that Aoba's clone grabbed Uchiha Kaede changed to his left hand. He then used his right hand to touch Uchiha Kaede's head.

Hum!

Aoba's palm trembled slightly.

"Ding Dong! Memory Reading Succesful! Obtained: Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu(Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique)!"

After the clear electronic prompt rang out in Aoba's mind, a stream of memories flooded into his mind.

It was Uchiha Kaede's memories!

After that.

Aoba's clone changed the left hand that was holding Uchiha Kaede to his right hand, revealing the exact same posture as before.

If the two from earlier were to look over at them now

They would definitely not discover any abnormalities!

"Wait."

However.

Right at this moment.

Aoba's voice sounded faintly.

His voice was not loud.

But it could clearly be heard by the two from before.

Almost at the same time.

The two ninjas suddenly stopped running. The two people seemed to have pressed the pause button and stopped. No one dared to run anymore.

Aoba's voice seemed to come from hell to these two people...

No one dared to not listen.

They had just witnessed Aoba's speed.

If they pretended not to hear, then none of them could escape. Uchiha Kaede's present might be their future.

The two ninjas followed Aoba's instructions and stopped. However, neither of them said a word. They all silently waited for Aoba's words. No one dared to act rashly.

At this time.

Their hearts were filled with fear. Now that such a thing had happened, what they did not want to hear the most was the other person's clear voice.

Most importantly...

They were already stopped.

What was going to happen next was not very clear to them. The two of them forced themselves to endure so that their bodies would not tremble so much.

What was going on now?

A big question mark appeared in the minds of the two people.

"Take him away."

Aoba's clone said indifferently. After he said this, he threw Uchiha Kaede in his hand like a chicken.

Uchiha Kaede's body drew a gorgeous parabola in the air and heavily fell on the ground in front of the two people.

Bang!

Uchiha Kaede's body hitting the ground clearly transmitted into the ears of the two people.

"This..."

The two of them were stunned. They looked at the motionless body of Uchiha Kaede on the ground. The latter had numerous seals on his body, so they did not dare to touch him easily.

"Take him away!"

Aoba's clone said indifferently. After that, his figure flashed and disappeared, completely disappearing from the two sights.

At this time.

The two ninjas stared at the motionless Uchiha Kaede on the ground.

"What... what should we do?" Uchiha Kaede's teammate asked.

"I don't know either!" Uchiha Kaede's other teammate said helplessly.

"There must be a seal on Kaede's body. If we touch his body, will we also be sealed?" Uchiha Kaede's teammate, asked again.

"I don't know sealing technique..." Uchiha Kaede's other teammate was even more helpless. He spread out his hands and did not know what to do.

"I... um... Then can we... still continue the Chunin Exams?" Uchiha Kaede's teammate was like a headless chicken, completely unaware of what to do next.

"You still want to take the Chunin Exams..." Uchiha Kaede's other teammate looked like he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He shook his head and said, "Now that we are in this place and Uchiha Kaede is sealed, it is already very difficult for him to last until the 5th day of the exam. If we leave, Uchiha Kaede might be eaten by wild beasts!"

"That's true..." Uchiha Kaede's teammate nodded.

...

After Aoba's clone left the two ninjas' line of sight, he immediately turned into paper and disappeared into thin air.

At the same time.

In the tower in the center.

Aoba sat on the ground and suddenly felt a wave of information rushing into his mind.

This information was sent back by his clone.

Hum!

Aoba suddenly felt a shock in his head. In just a moment, what the clone had done during this period appeared in his mind.

The Iwagakure ninjas were all dead.

Uchiha Kaede and Hyuga Hanamichi both lost their ability to fight.

The second round of this year's Chunin Exams had returned to its original appearance. Those who had not signed up originally and had come later because of the people Iwagakure had joined. Whether it was the Iwagakure, Uchiha, or Hyuga, they all have been dealt with...

Not only that.

There were a few more memories in Aoba's mind.

These were all read by the clone just now. With the return of this shadow clone, all the memories returned to Aoba.

"Interesting."

The corners of Aoba's mouth curled up slightly. After receiving the clone's memories, he discovered some interesting things. Now, there was nothing much to do. There was still an unknown amount of time before other teams arrived at the tower.

He was also idle.

He could take advantage of this time to read those Iwagakure's memories.

Step step step step...

However.

Just as Aoba closed his eyes.

Hurried footsteps came from the distance towards the direction of the first floor of the tall tower, clearly entering everyone's ears.

Aoba was not the only one who could hear it clearly.

Even Saki and Rin could hear it clearly.

All of a sudden.

The two girls looked toward the direction of the entrance. The two of them were not too old. It was already very boring for them to stay on this floor and not do anything.

Now they heard the sound of footsteps.

Based on the preconceived notion that the person who would enter should be a new team that passed, they immediately focused their gazes over and their eyes filled with curiosity.

Step step step step...

As these footsteps approached, one ninja after another appeared in the sight of the two girls. The two people walking at the front were Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi.

"???"

When Saki and Rin saw the people coming over, many question marks appeared on their heads.

What was going on?

Why wasn't it a team?

It was actually Brother Shikaku and the others...

Saki and Rin were stunned. They had never expected to meet Shikaku and Inoichi here. As for Choza, who was behind these two people, he was the chief examiner for the second round. It was normal for him to be here now.

Behind the three people were people wearing the proctor's uniform.

After Shikaku and Inoichi entered, they immediately looked at the people inside. The first people they saw were Saki and Rin, who was looking at them.

In just an instant.

The two looked past Saki and Rin and landed on Aoba, sitting on the ground with his eyes closed.

"Aoba!"

Shikaku and Inoichi spoke at almost the same time. Under the gazes of everyone, Inoichi and Shikaku walked directly toward Aoba.

Aoba heard the voices of these two people.

However.

He did not open his eyes.

He looked as if he had not heard anything.

"Aoba, tell me, who gave you the answer?" Shikaku's cold voice suddenly sounded.

"Aoba, don't be afraid. Just tell the truth!" Inoichi's tone eased a lot. In his opinion, what Shikaku asked just now was deliberately threatening Aoba, so he used a very calm tone. This was just to let Aoba be able to speak in peace.

"What?!"

Saki and Rin widened their eyes at the same time. After hearing what Shikaku and Inoichi said, they both looked at Aoba, their eyes filled with doubt and a kind of indescribable clarity.

Sure enough!

There was indeed something wrong with Aoba!

This record was the result of someone revealing the answer!

When Saki stared at Aoba, her eyes had already changed. Now, she was completely sure in her heart that Aoba had gotten the answer.

This was exactly the same as her guess!

When she got the Scroll of Heaven and went to the tower smoothly, she faintly felt something was wrong. She thought she was smart and thoughtful, but she had a weak point that she knew very well; that was, her on-the-spot reaction ability was slightly weak.

It was precisely because of this.

After the first round, she felt something was wrong, but she did not react. It was only after they got the Scroll of Heaven and charged toward the tower that she really discovered the problem here.

At that time, she had doubts about such a thing.

Now, because of the questions asked by Shikaku and Inoichi, she directly confirmed this in her heart.

Only...

There was more or less a little doubt in her heart.

This little doubt was...

Why did Shikaku and Inoichi ask Aoba about this matter together? Could it be that they didn't know who leaked the answer to Aoba?

This was impossible, wasn't it?

It couldn't be...

These two were deliberately acting in front of her!

This thought suddenly emerged in Saki's mind. She liked to think randomly about some things, and now she even played this matter to the extreme.

"Aoba, speak!"

At this time, Shikaku's voice sounded again. His tone became even more stern and even a little angry.

How could he be happy about such a thing?

He originally thought that he wanted Aoba to drag Saki and Rin down until they could not pass the exam!

But...

He never thought...

Their exam had actually become a record-breaking exam.

At this time.

Saki and Rin had already become the most popular existences in this year's Chunin Exams.

As soon as Shikaku said this, the eyes of everyone present focused on Aoba. As if sensing this, Aoba slowly opened his eyes.

Aoba's eyes revealed calmness.

There was not the slightest bit of panic.

It looks like a person who closed his eyes and rested his mind. He just recovered his spirits, and then opened his eyes, showing a full of energy and reserved posture.

"So noisy."

Aoba said indifferently.

Although he had already opened his eyes, he did not shift his gaze. He did not look at anyone who had come here.

"Aoba, right now I just want to ask a question, the person who leaked the answer to you, is it Shikaku?" Inoichi immediately asked loudly. His tone was still more gentle than Shikaku's. However, that was only compared to Shikaku.

"Bullshit!" Shikaku shouted coldly. After that, he said, "You were the one who leaked the answer!"

"Are you two done talking?"

At this time, Aoba's indifferent voice sounded again. As he spoke, he turned his face slightly and focused his eyes on Shikaku.

"Brother Shikaku."

"I have a question for you."

"Can we count as passing the second round now?"

Aoba's tone was very calm. It was almost impossible to hear any emotional fluctuations. This gave off an extremely strange feeling. It was as if the person sitting here talking was not a person but a person without a soul.

"Hu..."

Shikaku helplessly took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. He tried to calm himself down. After that, he looked at Saki and Rin. Finally, he focused his gaze on Aoba again. He controlled his tone and tried his best to make himself less angry.

"Yes!"

"You have successfully passed the second round!"

"No matter what the process is..."

"The result is already decided!"

"So..."

"You can tell me who gave you the answer!"

Shikaku did not tell Aoba the truth directly. According to the rules of the Chunin Exams, the results could still be regarded as invalid if there was a sign of cheating.

Now he only suspected that Aoba had cheated.

There was no concrete evidence.

However.

In his heart, he had already decided.

After all, in his opinion, Aoba couldn't pass these Chunin Exams. This was not something Aoba's strength could reach, let alone break the record in such a ridiculous way.

"If I understand correctly, the third round is a one-on-one battle. As for what I have decided and what I have said, it has nothing to do with the two of them, right?" Aoba stared at Shikaku and asked.

As Aoba spoke, he did not pay any attention to Inoichi and Choza. To his knowledge, this three-man team was led by Shikaku.

Then it was enough to explain it to one person.

There was no need to explain such a thing repeatedly.

"You are right!"

After hearing Aoba's words, Shikaku immediately nodded. What he needed to do now was to stabilize Aoba's mood and let Aoba tell him who he got the answer from, and then use cheating to determine that the overall results of Aoba's team were invalid.

However, he could not express it himself.

Otherwise, no one would believe such a thing.

He had to agree first.

As long as he got the evidence.

Then Aoba's results would be deemed invalid, and his goal would be achieved.

"Now, whether it is you, Saki, or Rin, you have successfully advanced to the third round. The results of the second round have been recorded. So no matter what you do, it will not affect the results of Saki and Rin. You have to speak boldly. I can guarantee that even if you directly quit the Chunin Exams, the two of them will not be affected by you." Shikaku immediately promised. He understood that only by letting Aoba have no worries in his heart could he tell the truth.

As long as Aoba told the truth.

Then he would get the handle.

He could deal with Aoba and his team.

At this moment, Shikaku immediately decided and found a way to deal with Aoba's team.

Even at this time.

Shikaku had not given up on dragging Saki and Rin away from Chunin Exams and achieved the goal of not letting these two girls become chunin.

"I understand."

Aoba slowly nodded. After that, he said a sentence that shocked everyone present. Everyone was dumbfounded.

"I forfeit!"

Aoba's voice was not loud, but the atmosphere was so quiet, and everyone could hear him clearly.

All of a sudden.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Especially Shikaku...

This was not the answer he wanted to hear at all. The forfeit he mentioned was just an example. He had no intention of directly asking Aoba to forfeit.

"Aoba, this kind of joke is not funny at all."

Shikaku shook his head. He did not think that Aoba would make this decision. After all, if this decision was so easy to make, he would not repeatedly look for Aoba. In the end, there was no result.

Of course.

Shikaku did not know.

If he did not look for Aoba...

Perhaps they would not meet here at all.

It was because Aoba might have forfeited during the first round.

"Oh?"

After hearing Shikaku's words, the corners of Aoba's mouth curled up into a smile. He looked back and forth meaningfully at Shikaku.

"Why are you looking at me?" Shikaku frowned. He could feel the contempt in Aoba's eyes, making him uncomfortable.

"En!"

Aoba nodded with a smile. After that, he withdrew his smile and returned to his previous appearance, completely unconcerned.

"I just want to look at you. You are clearly a very smart person. Why you suddenly mistook my words for a joke."

Aoba paused for a moment but did not give Shikaku a chance to speak. He continued.

"On this matter..."

"I am not joking."

"I choose to give up on the third round!"

"It's a one-on-one battle after all...."

"I understand my own strength."

"I am already very happy to be able to come here!"

Aoba said one sentence at a time. Although he said he was happy, his face had no joy. He had come here and brought Saki and Rin here. It could be said that he had completed the task that Eaton had given him.

Now that things had come to this point.

It was enough.

There was no need to do anything else.

Instantly.

Aoba slowly stood up and walked out of the tower as if he was about to leave.

Now he understood.

His forfeit.

It would not affect Saki and Rin in any way.

In that case, he could be considered to have completed the final explanation for these two girls. In the future, there would be no more interactions between them.

"Wait a minute!"

After hearing Aoba's words, Shikaku's expression changed slightly. He asked Aoba in confusion, "Since you chose to forfeit now, why didn't you give up in the beginning? Didn't you know when you signed up that the third round was a one-on-one battle, and you will face the participant who took the Chunin Exams together?"

"I have no comment on this..." Aoba shook his head and suddenly thought of a modern world vocabulary. After that, he directly took it out and said, "I just want to be happy!"

"Aoba, you forfeited. We won't stop you, but you have to tell me who gave you the answer to the exam!" Shikaku still asked. At this time, in his heart, he has already sentenced Aoba. He thought that this Aoba could lead Saki and Rin's team to this stage and break the record repeatedly because he knew the answer in advance.

"That's right, Aoba, don't be afraid. Tell that person's name boldly!" Inoichi quickly said. Just now, when Shikaku talked to Aoba continuously, he did not interrupt. He listened and guessed whether Shikaku might have deliberately given Aoba some hint.

"No one gives me the answer."

Aoba shook his head. His expression was still as calm as ever. Facing the gazes of almost everyone present, he still maintained his indifferent attitude. He did not show any signs of stage fright at all.

Saying this.

Aoba took a step forward.

In just a few steps, he arrived in front of Shikaku.

His pair of pitch-black eyes stared into Shikaku's eyes. The expression on his face still did not change, but his entire person seemed to have given off a special aura.

"Brother Shikaku."

"Did you give me the answer?"

"You know this very well in your heart."

"I also know it very well."

"Why do you keep bothering me!"

After Aoba said this, he did not give Shikaku any time to reply. He turned directly to look at Inoichi beside them.

"Brother Inoichi."

"Did you give me the answer?"

"You know it very well in your heart."

"Since you know it very well, why ask me?"

"I don't know anything about this matter."

Aoba shook his head and spread out his hands, taking himself out.

After that.

Aoba directly took a step away from Shikaku and Inoichi. He then left this place and walked toward the corridor where they came in.

"????"

When everyone heard Aoba's words, their heads were filled with question marks. All of their attention had been focused on Aoba. They had all heard what Aoba had said.

Only...

These words made them confused.

They seemed to have heard something.

They also seemed to have heard nothing.

This feeling was very strange, so much so that they didn't even know if Aoba cheated or didn't cheat and who was the person who gave Aoba the answer if he cheated.

However.

After being disturbed by Aoba...

Shikaku and Inoichi looked at each other. Their eyes were sharp as if they had seen through each other.

"Stop acting. It's you. I understand what Aoba said. If it's not me, it's you. If I know it's not me, then it's you!" Shikaku said coldly. Now that Aoba had given up, this step was something he had not expected. He had been caught off guard and let Aoba go. Now, he did not know how to end it. He could only go back to arguing with Inoichi.

"Hahahahaha!" When Inoichi heard Shikaku's words, he immediately burst into laughter. After that, he extended his right hand, raised a thumb, and made a gesture of praise. He gestured at Shikaku and said, "Amazing! It's really amazing! How did you go against your conscience and throw this big black pot on me?"

"Stop pretending." A cold smile hung on Shikaku's face. Through Aoba's hint, others did not understand, but he did. The person who gave the answer to Aoba would only be him and Inoichi. He did not give the answer, so it was Inoichi who gave the answer. He now felt that Inoichi was acting with him. After that, he said, "This is not throwing a big black pot, but you did it yourself!"

"You pushed it so cleanly!" Inoichi was also sure in his heart that it was Shikaku who gave the answer to Aoba. After all, with Shikaku's ability, he could do it, let alone with Aoba's last words.

"You..."

After witnessing this sudden scene, Saki had a much clearer idea.

Shikaku and Inoichi came in such a hurry.

It was to ask Aoba where the answer came from!

Combined with Aoba's reaction of choosing to abstain directly without sophistry.

She could already be sure.

Aoba knew the answer beforehand!

"The person who gave Aoba the answer was Brother Shikaku, right?"

Saki immediately got this answer. At this time, she was quickly analyzing this matter in her mind. As the chief examiner of the first round, there was no need for Shikaku to come to the Forest of Death at this time.

Combined with the several confrontations between Shikaku and Aoba.

"These two people are acting, aren't they?"

Saki suddenly realized that maybe Aoba and Shikaku were in the same group, and they were using this method to whitewash.
