Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer - Chapter 661
After saying this, Aoba’s figure flashed and disappeared.
He directly used the Flying Thunder God Technique, disappearing in front of these people and returning to his own house.
After Aoba left.
Including the Akatsuki organization brought by Konan, the three of them stared blankly ahead, feeling a strange sense of loss in their hearts.
At this moment, everyone’s hearts were different from before. They were no longer nervous like they were before seeing Aoba. Their hearts had recovered from the anxiety, and they seemed to see hope for the future.
Seeing Aoba again, Konan’s mood was pleased. During this time, he had dreamed of seeing Aoba, and now that he had finally met this person, his wish had finally come true. For a while, his mood was indescribably joyful.
Nagato completely believed in his identity as a member of the Otsutsuki clan. After confirming this, he no longer had any unique feelings for his parents as he knew them, nor did he have any love or hatred for Konoha. The reason he still wanted to stay in Konoha was Aoba. So, in this world, besides lovers, there was no one else he cared about so much.
Yahiko had a different feeling. He originally had a sunny disposition and was the strongest of Jiraiya’s three disciples, at least the strongest at the moment. He originally had the love of Konan for him and the ambition of the Akatsuki organization. All of this was shattered by Aoba’s appearance as if everything had disappeared.
The three members of the Akatsuki organization showed three different thoughts, each with their ideas. But because of Aoba’s appearance, they had all changed, and they were willing to move to live in Konoha. They were willing to listen to Aoba’s advice to support their senior brother, Minato Namikaze.
At this moment, each of them found a new meaning in their lives.
The three of them didn’t speak now, but they all had the same decision in their hearts, which was to rest in this wooden house temporarily and formally enter Konoha after the end of the wooden house’s technique.
Aoba returned to his residence, which was the place of the Konoha ANBU Black Ops. Now, there was only him in the ANBU Black Ops.
After all, the other members of the ANBU Black Ops were already dead, and Itachi was helping with some other matters.
Aoba’s body was covered in flying paper, quickly transforming into the appearance of another person, the one known as Orochimaru among the three of Konoha.
“I should go meet our Third Hokage face to face!”
Aoba’s lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile. He had already met the Third Hokage as Danzo, and now he needed another identity, and Orochimaru’s identity came in handy.
As the saying goes, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter, and when the wall falls, everyone pushes.
Now, it was time to push.
He wanted the Third Hokage to know what it felt like to be on the edge, to realize that no matter how hard he tried or struggled, it was useless. This way, the Third Hokage could be mentally prepared for the storm that was coming next.
Immediately.
Aoba left his dormitory and headed towards the Hokage’s office, but now his identity had changed to Orochimaru.
The art of the Shinobi Paper Clone technique made his transformation impossible to see through.
Unless he encountered someone with chakra stronger than his.
But…
There was no such person in the ninja world now.
No one could be compared with him in chakra, not even a tailed beast, as he had obtained the Sage Mode from the beginning and continuously increased his chakra during his training.
At this point.
He could quickly transform into anyone’s appearance without being discovered, which was one of his unique abilities.
As Orochimaru, Aoba quickly arrived at the door of the Hokage’s office. When the guards saw Aoba’s Orochimaru identity, they all bowed respectfully without any obstruction.
“Lord Orochimaru!”
After bowing, they even addressed him with a respectful title.
After all, Orochimaru was the most challenging person among the three of Konoha, bringing the most mysterious aura and making it difficult for people to approach him.
Of course.
Aoba didn’t pay attention to these people at all and directly walked towards the sofa in the Hokage’s office. After passing through a staircase and a corner, he came to the door of the Hokage’s office.
Knock! Knock! Knock…
Aoba slowly knocked on the door of the Hokage’s office. He didn’t remember how many times he had come to the door of the Hokage’s office, but almost every time he came, he used a different identity. His true identity as Aoba had never come here, or perhaps he had come, but he couldn’t remember.
These things didn’t matter anymore. This office would soon be occupied by another person, his good friend, Minato Namikaze.
“Come in.”
The voice of the Third Hokage came through the door of the Hokage’s office. Through this voice, one could hear that the Third Hokage’s mood had not ultimately settled down yet. His heart was still somewhat uneasy, and the events that had just happened still put tremendous pressure on him.
Creak!
With the sound of the door opening, Aoba opened the door of the Hokage’s office and walked in slowly, presenting himself in front of the Third Hokage.
Aoba needed to learn how many times he had faced the Third Hokage formally.
Every time he faced him, his mood was different.
This time, he came here with a completely different mentality.
“Orochimaru, why are you here?”
The Third Hokage’s eyes slightly narrowed when he saw Aoba and a look of doubt flashed in his eyes. He was not very clear why Orochimaru suddenly came here, but he knew that Orochimaru wouldn’t come here for no reason.
After all, Orochimaru was not a boring person. Since Orochimaru was willing to come here, there must be a reason for him to be here. Now he was in a hazardous situation, and any small thing could help him achieve a different victory; just like when he met Danzo during the danger of the Hokage position, he did not rule out the possibility that Orochimaru could help him now, even though Orochimaru was his disciple.
Precisely because of this, his gaze towards Orochimaru changed again.
“What’s the matter?”
The Third Hokage asked again. Seeing that Orochimaru didn’t speak, he felt even more puzzled. He simply spoke directly first, staring at Aoba’s face with a cold gaze.
“Now you’re very clear about the current situation, aren’t you?”
Aoba spoke directly; his tone was very indifferent, with a hint of strangeness, using Orochimaru’s tone. There was even a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
As soon as Aoba said this, the Third Hokage’s face changed drastically.
It was straightforward to hear from the tone of Aoba’s voice that Orochimaru was not here to help but to cause trouble. The Third Hokage was very sensitive to the current situation, and he didn’t want to mention too much about the things here.
Everyone knew what the current situation in Konoha was like.
There was no need to come here and say such nonsense.
The Third Hokage’s face immediately became ugly, and his eyes showed impatience. He didn’t bother to answer Aoba’s words.
“How do you view the change in the Hokage position?”
Aoba obviously should have let the Third Hokage off so quickly. He continued to stare at the Third Hokage and asked, starting with the more critical questions.
These questions were enough to make the Third Hokage’s temper unpleasant.
The Third Hokage’s face became even more unsightly.
“Orochimaru, what do you mean by this?”
The Third Hokage stared at Orochimaru with cold eyes. He had always known that his disciples had some opinions on him at many times, but now was not the time to try to salvage those images. There was a better time to discuss life philosophy with Orochimaru. He was wholly occupied with the crucial moment of the Hokage position. He had no intention of dealing with other matters.
“I just want to chat with you.”
Aoba’s smile on his face became even brighter, and his tone became even more eerie. Facing the Third Hokage’s fiery gaze, his amber eyes flickered with a different light.
