Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer

Chapter 282: The Hidden Identity Behind the Merchants of the Country of Water

Chapter 282: The Hidden Identity Behind the Merchants of the Country of Water

The white paper fell down.

Seeing such a scene, everyone felt that it was inconceivable. They had no idea what was going on.

What was he doing?

Where did these papers come from?

Was this the cat-faced demon's interrogation method?

Were these papers torture tools?

Question marks came out of their heads. At this moment, none of them knew Aoba's intention. But only Aoba knew what he was doing.

Just a while ago.

He used a special technique to transmit chakra on paper and brought back the chakra that Kaze used to read memories. This allowed Kaze to read Aoba's memories from a distance.

Now, Aoba wanted to try this method.

Could he use it to read the memories of these people?

If he could succeed. This would be a strategic breakthrough!

From then on, Aoba would enter an era where he could read memories from afar!

After all, if he wanted to touch the heads of some people with special identities with his right hand, it was really a bit difficult to touch!

Aoba was not very sure about this method because the seals constructed between these two pieces of paper could only transmit chakra.

Through the paper in his right hand, he could transfer the chakra in his right hand to another piece of paper. In this way, he could use the Mind Reading Secret Technique of the Yamanaka clan, which could be successful, and there were already cases of Kaze succeeding.

But...

Aoba relied on the Mind Reading System to read memories and not chakra.

Every time he read memory, he only needed to touch the other people's heads with his right hand.

Now he doesn't know if this method could make his Mind Reading System also be used to read memories.

And so, he took advantage of the time when he was working in the compartment to test this method.

These pieces of paper that were as dense as raindrops fell on the bodies of everyone present.

Some stopped on top of their heads.

Some stopped on their shoulders.

Some fell to the ground.

Only... no one dared to make any moves easily. After all, the person in front of them was the famous cat-faced demon among Konohagakure and Konohagakure Intelligence Division.

An existence famous for being ruthless!

As these pieces of paper fell on the heads of everyone, Aoba immediately seized this opportunity to control these pieces of paper through chakra.

Hum Hum Hum...

These pieces of paper vibrated one after another, and then a black complex seal pattern appeared on the paper. At the same time, Aoba was holding a piece of paper in his right hand. A black seal pattern appeared on the paper as well.

Hum!

The paper in Aoba's right hand trembled slightly, showing that the technique had been successfully connected.

Now, he can communicate with any piece of paper in these people at any time.

Then, Aoba poured chakra into the paper with his right hand and connected it to the white paper on the head of a prisoner not far away.

"???"

Aoba's chakra passed, but there was no reaction at all.

"I can't?"

Aoba muttered in his heart. Then he immediately controlled this chakra and used Yamanaka's clan's mind reading secret technique.

In a split second, Aoba felt that his chakra had drilled into that person's head and could enter the neurons of the other person's brain to check the other person's memories.

"The technique did not fail!"

When he used the mind-reading technique to read memory, Aoba understood that this method of using paper could not activate the Mind Reading System to read the memory.

"Through the method of chakra transmission, there is no way to use the Mind Reading System. I still need to touch it with my right hand, which means that the paper does not..."

When Aoba thought about the last part, he was stunned.

'That's right!'

'Contact...'

'Isn't contact enough!'

"Why am I so stupid!"

Aoba suddenly shouted, directly giving the prisoner in the compartment a fright. Everyone looked at Aoba's cat-faced mask in confusion.

They didn't know what this person was doing and increasingly felt that there were many strange things in this interrogation compartment.

However.

Under the gazes of these people, Aoba raised his right hand and slowly spread out his five fingers.

Then, he retracted his five fingers bit by bit and made a grabbing motion in the air.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In an instant, the scattered pieces of paper were like puppets, and one after another, they quickly flew towards Aoba's palm like swallows returning to their nest.

These pieces of paper all fell back into Aoba's right hand and then went back into his sleeve as if they had never appeared.

"???"

The question marks on the prisoner's head in the compartment became even more numerous. They had no idea what this torture ninja called cat-faced demon was doing.

Magic?

If it was just magic?

It was pretty good!

It does look pretty good...

But.

They were all waiting to be interrogated. They wouldn't go to the extent of enjoying this torture ninja magic show in this little compartment, would they?

Such a strange scene.

It overturned everyone's understanding of the Konohagakure Intelligence Division. They had no idea what this cat-faced demon in front of them was doing.

As the paper returned to Aoba's sleeve, his eyes lit up. His left hand grabbed at his right hand.

It looked like he was going to snap his right hand.

Such a scene immediately attracted everyone's attention. They all stared at Aoba's right hand as if they were waiting for something to happen.

In an instant.

Aoba's left hand suddenly exerted force. The left hand that was holding his right wrist suddenly clenched tightly.

This scene looked very strange. It was as if he had crushed his right hand.

In an instant, everyone present widened their eyes. At this time, they already understood that this cat-faced demon was playing magic for them.

Just as this thought emerged in everyone's mind.

Pieces of paper flew out from the sleeve of Aoba's right hand that had been snapped. The paper seemed to have intelligence and flew toward everyone's heads.

These waiting prisoners stared at Aoba with complicated gazes, and all felt that it was a little strange.

Could it be that cat-faced demon wanted to express that he could turn his right hand into paper?

It can't be!

Does he think everyone was a fool?

Under everyone's puzzled gaze. The pieces of paper fell on their heads, which gave them a very strange feeling as if their heads were touched by a hand.

"Ding Dong! Memory Reading Succesful! Received: Chakra Increase!"

"Ding Dong! Memory Reading Succesful! Received: Chakra Increase!"

"Ding Dong! Memory Reading Succesful! Received: Chakra Increase!"

"Ding Dong! Memory...

Almost at this moment, the system notifications rang out in Aoba's brain one after another. Then, memories were quickly sent into his brain, waiting to be checked.

A long time passed.

Every sound was the same. It proved that these people were ordinary people.

"Success!"

Aoba's eyes suddenly lit up. Through the test just now, he successfully separated his right hand to read memories.

Hmm...

Actually, it was not completely like this.

The operation that Aoba was using now was essentially still his right hand touching other people's heads. These scattered pieces of paper were all his transformed right hand.

To be precise…

These papers were all part of Aoba's right hand.

"Good fellow."

"It's actually that simple."

"Just now, I thought complicated things!"

"Just touching it is enough."

"As long as the paper is a part of my right hand, there is no need to waste so much time passing the chakra over."

Aoba quickly thought in his heart. Now, he had obtained the memories of everyone here and obtained the corresponding reward from reading memories.

Of course.

These were not the most important things.

The most important thing was that Aoba could now use more methods to read memories, and he could also read them remotely.

"Not bad! Not bad! Not bad!"

Aoba said "not bad" three times in a row. This was not only to say that he had upgraded the memory reading method of the Mind Reading System but also to say that everyone at the scene was indeed their first time coming to his compartment.

Then.

Aoba immediately opened the memories of these Country of Water merchants and quickly browsed through it.

"Huh?"

Aoba had just taken a look at the memories, and he immediately frowned. He instantly realized the seriousness of the matter.

These Country of Water merchants was indeed a merchant. However, they were not really merchants.

The merchant was just their identity on the surface, but their secret identity was Kirigakure's spy.

It could be seen from the memories of these people that they were all ordinary people selected by Elder Genji.

Genji had a very high right to speak in the Country of Water.

Because the Country of Water was located in the island country, if they wanted to obtain information about the ninja world, there was an inherent distance disadvantage.

For the Country of Water.

Country of Lightning and the Country of Fire was somewhat closer.

If they wanted to obtain information about the Country of Wind and the Country of Earth, it would be too difficult. Even if they succeeded in obtaining the information, it would be too late by the time the information was sent back. They couldn't be able to wait that long.

But...

They couldn't possibly set up spies because of such a problem!

Due to this reason.

Kirigakure's elder Genji proposed a very important suggestion, which was to let ordinary merchants be spies and replace the Kirigakure's ninja.

After all...

If they used Genin. It was very likely that they had already been caught before they could gather any information.

Chunin's resources were limited, and it could be said that it was a complete waste to use them to gather information.

This was even more so for Jonin.

On the other hand, using merchants as spies has a greater advantage. They were doing business and often going back and forth between various forces for decades.

Generally speaking, they would not be easily suspected, and they wouldn't admit these things even if they were found out.

"En..."

In the memories of these merchants, Aoba saw that Genji had found them and proposed to let them become spies and inquire about the intelligence of various forces.

'Elder Genji probably would never have dreamed that they would be found out in such a way…' Aoba thought silently in his heart.

He felt that if it weren't for his habit of checking every prisoner who came in for interrogation. Then it was impossible to find such a thing!

It was the Mind Reading System that was able to help him find the contact details between the merchants of the Country of Water and their boss in the memories of these people.

If there was no Mind Reading System. It was impossible for Aoba to read memories so recklessly.

No one would be bored enough to use the mind-reading secret technique to read the memories of ordinary people.

This identity as the Country of Water merchant directly became the most advantageous protective umbrella for these spies.

When Aoba read their memories, he found a very important task. These spies had come here under the fire of war, mainly because they had several tasks to do.

The first one was to find out information about Satsuma Rentaro.

They wanted to know if Satsuma Rentaro was still in Konohagakure and according to the information brought back by the Seven Ninja Swordsman.

There was no information about Gasshi and Rentaro in the Country of Fire. Those two seemed to have evaporated into thin air.

On the other side.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen also did not find any information about Gasshi in the Country of Lightning's territory. Even the Kumogakure did not know where Gasshi was.

Because of this, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen had sufficient reason to suspect that Gasshi might be hiding in Konohagakure right now.

Although Gasshi had killed Uchiha Sekai and had also obtained Sekai's Sharingan, this was not a secret in the Ninja World. The normal thinking was that they would always stay away from Konohagakure because all the people there wanted to kill him. However, it was precisely because everyone thought this way that the strength of searching Gasshi inside Konohagakure was not that great.

After this speculation.

Seven Ninja Swordsmen decided to find these merchants for help and let them go to Konohagakure to find out if there were any clues about Gasshi.

It was just that...

The moment these merchants entered Konohagakure, they were stopped by Fugaku, who was patrolling. Fugaku instantly gave the order to capture them.

The reason he gave was very simple.

From the day the Third Ninja World War broke out until the day before he returned to Konohagakure, Kirigakure's merchants never came again.

This was obviously to avoid the war, and it was human nature to avoid harm. But at this critical juncture. These people came again.

In that case, Fugaku immediately determined that the other party had come with a purpose. They might even carry some special missions with them.

Just like that.

These Country of Water merchants had yet to start their investigation task had already been captured.

"Interesting!"

After a brief silence, Aoba walked toward the brother, who was the leader among the merchants of the Country of Water.

"You were brought here should be because of a misunderstanding. I will explain it clearly to them, and then you can leave."

Aoba walked to the front of the leader of the Country of Water merchants and gently patted his shoulder.

As he raised his hand. A black circle appeared where he had just been patted. It was his Flying Thunder God Formula, and then the circle disappeared in the blink of an eye as if it had never been there.

Once a Flying Thunder God Formula was imprinted on a person's body. Then it would be a mark that would always exist.

It could be said that Aoba had planted an eye on this person. This way, it would become more convenient in the future.

"Ah?!"

The merchant leader was stunned for a moment, completely unable to react to what was going on.

Why did he suddenly release them?

Wasn't they still being interrogated?

Something was wrong!

There was something wrong here!

"Why?"

The merchant leader immediately asked. His voice was full of curiosity and was full of confusion about this matter.

"You haven't asked us anything. You don't even know what we are doing here. Why do you let us go like this?" The merchant leader asked in confusion.

"So you want me not to let you go?" Aoba asked directly.

"No... No..." The merchant leade instantly woke up. Now was not the time to satisfy his curiosity. As long as they could leave, it would be better than not being able to leave.

It was not only him who thought this way. Even the other merchants who had been brought along had looks of joy on their faces.

These people were continuously winking at their leader. They indicated that the other party should agree.

"I have my own interrogation style. As long as you come to me for the first time, I will give you a chance. But if you come here for the second time, then the problem is not so simple..."

Aoba pushed this reason to his second time rule.

In fact.

After he saw the memories of these merchants. He understood their situation.

They were simply here to gather information. After collecting the information, they would leave with the information and would not stay here at all.

But...

Aoba felt that this kind of thing was two-sided.

He could get rid of these spies. But this thing was like a fly. It was impossible to kill them all. After these spies had problems, Genji would definitely send new spies. At that time, it would not be so easy to find them.

Because of this.

Aoba decided to play along with the plan. He used these merchants to send back the information that he wanted to pass to Kirigakure.
