Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer

Chapter 29: Case of Missing Persons in Konoha!

This meaningful word clearly entered Aoba's ears.

The owner of the voice was Yuta, whom he had not seen for half a year.

In a split second, Aoba's gaze focused on Yuta.

"Captain Yuta."

Aoba could clearly feel that Yuta had become thinner. The vitality of his body was already feeble, as if he could die at any time.

Aoba did not expect this kind of change. In just half a year, he had actually grown so old.

However, think about it carefully. It was not a surprise.

After all, Yuta had been using the Mind-Reading Secret Technique of the Yamanaka clan, which consumed a lot of his body and mind energy.

This burden was already painful for young ninjas.

Not to mention, Yuta who was already an old man.

"I came here to ask for your help."

Yuta went straight to the point and no longer beat around the bush. He stared at Aoba and said seriously, "I hope you can help me."

"What is it?"

There was no expression on Aoba's face behind the mask. This time, he did not directly refuse. Instead, he asked.

He did not know why when he saw Yuta.

He faintly felt that the other party did not have much time left.

Plus...

It was different from half a year ago.

In this half a year, Aoba trained his body, and his physical fitness was constantly rising. Moreover, the memory reading reward that he obtained increased his chakra countless times, and it was no longer the same as before.

However, Aoba didn't have any plans to make a fool of himself.

Right now, he was just asking. If it were a troublesome matter, he would still not help.

"I am investigating the case of people's disappearance in Konoha."

Yuta said very frankly. This time, he did not hide anything. In his heart, he believed that even if Aoba did not help, he would not tell anyone about it.

"In the past month."

"People are constantly disappearing in the village."

"It's like disappearing into thin air."

"There is no trace at all."

"I suspect that there is a conspiracy behind this."

"This is not a mission."

"I just want to find out what is going on and contribute the last of my strength to the village!"

Yuta clenched his fists tightly. His fists trembled slightly, showing that his body was not as good as before.

Good fellow!

The people in the village went missing for no reason...

He knew about this!

Wasn't that Orochimaru's human experiment?

He was either studying Hashirama Cell or studying the Living Corpse Reincarnation.

First, it was Danzo.

Next, it was Orochimaru.

They were really the two most dangerous existences in Konohagakure!

"Captain Yuta, I can't help you."

Aoba directly shook his head and refused.

What kind of joke was this?

Orochimaru, who was in this period, had just obtained the reputation of a Sannin and has a Kage level strength!

He could not afford him to provoke!

Absolutely not!

If it were a small matter that was not a big problem, Aoba might have helped out, but this was not a small matter at all.

"Are you still feeling unwell?"

Yuta was stunned for a moment. When he heard Aoba ask what it was, he thought that Aoba was willing to help. But he didn't expect that he would still refuse so straightforwardly.

"It's not a problem with the body."

""..." Foll𝑜ow current novÊls on nov3lb((in).(com)

Aoba shook his head. Then, he took a deep breath and stared deeply into Yuta's eyes through the hole in the mask.

"Captain Yuta."

"This case..."

"It's better not to investigate!"

Aoba could not help but advise.

This was not a matter of justice or philosophy.

The final result of this case was Orochimaru.

Looking at the present Konohagakure.

Who could fight with Orochimaru?

With Yuta's strength, he was like an egg hitting a rock.

Perhaps he hadn't found the result, yet he had already been killed by Danzo!

You should know...

All the human experiments that Orochimaru conducted in Konohagakure Danzo supported it all.

This was already not just the problem of facing Orochimaru!

"You know about this case?"

The look in Yuta's eyes became doubtful. He heard a trace of a different feeling from Aoba's words.

It seemed...

Aoba knew something.

"I don't know."

Aoba shook his head and immediately said, "Because Captain Yuta said that this is not your task, so I think you should stop investigating."

"It's that simple?"

Yuta could not believe it, and he still felt that Aoba was hiding something.

"It's that simple."

Aoba nodded and continued, "We, Anbu, have to focus on our task. Since it's not your task, then don't do anything unnecessary."

"This..."

Yuta was stunned again. He didn't expect Aoba to say this.

To his knowledge, Aoba didn't like doing missions. Otherwise, he wouldn't have rejected it last time.

Wait a minute...

Yuta suddenly felt that he was wrong.

Aoba clearly carried out the task strictly. Every time Eaton gave Aoba a task, he would do his best to complete it.

The last time was his mission, and it had nothing to do with Aoba. He did not even apply to Eaton to let Aoba join the mission, so he really did not join.

That's right.

It was all like this.

This boy did not say anything nonsense.

Indeed, as an Anbu, you should focus on your given mission.

"Ha~..."

Yuta could not help but sigh and shake his head helplessly.

"This matter."

"If I report it to Captain Eaton."

"He definitely won't let me investigate it!"

"So..."

"He won't approve this mission!"

"This is why I have to secretly investigate the truth!"

Yuta and Eaton had known each other for many years, and he knew very well what kind of character the latter had.

The disappearance of village people.

This matter had caused a sensation in the entire village. And it had caused a huge negative impact.

The higher-ups of the village even personally intervened in the investigation.

Under the orders of Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, this case was fully handed to Root for them to investigate it!

It had nothing to do with Konohagakure Intelligence Division.

If he wanted to investigate.

He could only do it on his own.

"Aoba, I think there is an inside story about this case. If you help me, we might be able to find the truth of this matter."

Yuta said in a deep voice.

"Captain Yuta, let me ask you something first. How many cases have you investigated over the years without any inside story?"

Aoba asked.

"This... ha~.."

Yuta sighed. When he thought of this, he felt very uncomfortable, and he felt that Konohagakure Intelligence Division's career was a little depressing. He knew a lot of things, but in the end, he could only let them go.

"I just want to solve this case before my life ends."

Yuta said unwillingly.

"Don't worry. This case will be solved soon enough, but it should not be solved by you."

Aoba said indifferently. He secretly complained in his heart, you were already dying, and yet you care about this kind of thing. He was still young, so he didn't want to follow along like this...
