Chapter 9: For the Sake of the Village, Someone Must Always Move Forward!

"I understand."

Minato nodded and did not force it. He added, "If you get bored in the Anbu, just tell me anytime, and I will help you."

"Thanks."

Aoba nodded, pursing his lips and smiling slightly.

Minato's words made him feel the warmth of the ninja world.

He has been working in the torture division since he passed through.

Whether it's the environment or reading memory, they were all biased towards the dark side. And he was entangled with these negative emotions all day long.

Even the most strong-minded person would be subtly affected.

Aoba was not an exception!

It's like, people who originally had positive personalities will gradually change in a negative environment.

The appearance of Minato seemed to bring a ray of light to Aoba and made him realize.

Ninja World has not only a dark side but also has a bright side.

"Why are you being so polite to me?" Minato said with a smile.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time after all." Aoba also laughed. He gradually accepted Minato's friendship and recognized him in his heart.

"Where do you live now? I will often visit you in the future." Minato asked.

"I live in the Anbu's dormitory."

Aoba thought for a while and said, "Because of my Anbu's work, you should stop looking for me. When I can come out, I'll have ramen. Let's meet if there's a chance."

"This..." The corner of Minato's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't expect Aoba to propose such a way of meeting that was extremely demanding in luck, but he accepted it and nodded, "Okay."

"I will go back first."

Aoba got up immediately. He had been out of Anbu for too long.

Following Captain Eaton's request, he came out to eat.

Since he finished now.

It was not good for him to continue to stay.

After all, he was engaged in torture and interrogation work.

A lot of information will be obtained while reading the memory.

As the captain of the torture division, Eaton would definitely consider whether his subordinates would spread the information outside.

"I'll pay the bill."

Aoba took out the small black bag and poured out the coins in it. He didn't know what its face value meant, and he pushed them all directly in front.

"It doesn't take so much..." Teuchi smiled and stared at the coins on the table and took four coins from it.

"Both of them should be counted." Aoba has almost twenty coins in his hand. Based on the four coins taken just now, he has enough to invite Minato and Kushina to have a meal.

"Okay." Teuchi took another three coins from it.

"Aoba, you..." Minato did not expect Aoba to take the initiative to pay the bill.

"It's hard for me to come out, so let me pay."

Aoba smiled at Minato. When he watched "Naruto" anime, he had a good impression of the Fourth Hokage.

Now that he came to the ninja world and had the opportunity to become friends with Minato. So, inviting a friend to have a meal was nothing at all.

What's more, even Aoba doesn't know when he can come out again next time.

According to the future information he knows, neither Minato nor Kushina has any security problems in the short term.

So he has nothing to worry about.

Aoba put the remaining coins into the small black bag, turned around, and left.

Just as he passed Minato, he paused for a while.

"Minato, you have a good vision, and your girlfriend is very beautiful."

Aoba lowered his voice slightly so that only Minato and Kushina could hear it.

"What?!"

When Kushina suddenly heard such words and her cheeks blushed.

"Of course!"

Minato proudly said.

After that, Aoba immediately left Ramen Ichiraku noodle shop directly, leaving the two of them and gradually blending into the dark night.

...

Ramen Ichiraku noodle shop.

"What are you laughing at?"

Kushina's voice was filled with sullen anger, like a volcano that might erupt at any time, and the combed red hair had a faint tendency to float upwards.

"No...no...I'm not laughing..."

Minato suddenly put away the smile on his face and stood upright in an instant. He didn't dare make Kushina angry.

"Humph!"

Kushina snorted coldly, alleviating the embarrassment just now.

"Minato."

"What's the matter with that Aoba?"

"Why do I feel that he has a gloomy breath on him..."

Kushina stared at Minato and said her doubts.

She saw Aoba for the first time and this boy who looked about her age

should have been a young and energetic person.

But there was a gloomy feeling everywhere, and he seemed to have a calmness that didn't match his age.

Minato looked deeply at where Aoba's direction left. The expression on his face was a little helpless.

"An Anbu ninjas had to take the weight they shouldn't bear, and they've been burdened with pains they shouldn't bear. They always walk on the edge of darkness, and over time, they will have this feeling. The other Anbu ninjas I've seen were also like this." Minato explained.

"Then why do you want to be an Anbu Ninja?" Kushina showed an innocent expression on her face.

"For the sake of the village, someone must always move forward!" Minato exclaimed. Now he has begun to think about problems like a Hokage.

"Then why did you propose to transfer Aoba out of Anbu?" Kushina was a little confused.

"Aoba is a good friend of mine, and I still hope that the person who bears these things is not him. However, I didn't expect Aoba to have such mindset." Minato said frankly.

"Perhaps, this is Aoba's way of life. Everyone has a mission to shoulder, and no one is an exception." Kushina's eyes dimmed slightly, and she inexplicably thought of herself as a new Kyuubi Jinchuriki. Where will her fate go, even she herself doesn't know.

...

Aoba returned to the Anbu dormitory.

And on his way back, he could faintly feel the seemingly nonexistent gaze in several places. As if someone was following him.

But, he was not sure and did not dare confirm it.

After returning to the dormitory, this feeling disappeared.

"If I guessed correctly, the person watching me should have been Captain Eaton's arrangement."

Aoba thought secretly in his heart. He did not hate Eaton for this but very much agreed with Eaton's approach.

As the torture division captain, he must ensure that there were no problems in his torture division.

Aoba has seen these images from Eaton's memory.

Everyone in the torture division had to undergo multiple screenings, and Aoba was not afraid of being investigated.

The more you check, the more he can prove that he has no problems.

This would make it safer for him to stay in the torture division.

But, a special thought came up in Aoba's heart.

The memory that he read and the system...

Would they be seen when they read his memory?
