Chapter 46: The Holidays have Begun
Half a day later.
There was a knock on the door of Aoba's dormitory.
The person who came this time was not an ordinary ninja.
He was not an ordinary Anbu ninja, and it was Konohagakure Intelligence Division's Captain, Eaton.
"Captain Eaton, why are you here?"
The moment Aoba opened the door, he saw Eaton standing at the door. His eyes flashed with surprise and doubt as if he had not expected Eaton to come here personally.
"I can't come?"
Eaton smiled and looked at Aoba with a relaxed smile.
"Of course, you can. Come in quickly!"
Aoba immediately stepped aside and motioned for Eaton to enter the dormitory.
"Yes."
Eaton nodded and walked into Aoba's dormitory. After looking around, he found that this dormitory was very simple, and there were only necessities needed for the simplest life. Other than that, there was nothing else.
"You must already know why I came to find you, right?"
Eaton asked meaningfully.
"I guessed it."
Aoba nodded.
"Tell me about it?"
Eaton said with a deeper meaning.
"Have you caught the suspect who escaped a few days ago?"
Aoba knew that Eaton wanted to talk about the holiday, but he would never take the initiative to say such things. Thus, he deliberately pretended to be stupid and talked about the suspect that day. It seemed that he was very concerned about his work.
"Hahaha!"
After hearing Aoba's words, Eaton immediately raised his head and laughed.
"Of course, I caught it!"
"But."
"It's all thanks to you!"
"After the follow-up interrogation, I found out that the real identity of the suspect was Sunagakure's spy."
"He sneaked into Konoha's hospital not to steal medicine, but to pass Konohagakure's ability to detoxify poison back to Sunagakure to prepare for the follow-up war."
"You have done a great job this time!"
Eaton stared at Aoba as he said this. He wanted to know what Aoba was thinking.
After all, this topic had just been brought up again by Aoba.
"Captain Eaton, this is the result of your interrogation. How can I have any credit? You don't blame me for almost letting this Sunagakure spy go, and I am already very grateful."
Aoba said with a smile.
"You..."
A gratified expression appeared on Eaton's face. He had already guessed that Aoba would say this, but he was still very happy when Aoba really said it.
He clearly knew that it was flattery. However, he liked this flattery.
"How have you been resting for the past few days?"
Eaton's gaze once again fell on Aoba, his tone filled with inquiry and concern.
"I've already rested, and I can return to my post at any time!"
Aoba immediately stood up straight, showing the determination to fight for the Konohagakure Intelligence Division cause.
Of course, that was what he should say!
According to his judgment, now that Eaton could come to his dormitory, it already showed that something was obvious.
That was... contemporary romance
His vacation had arrived!
So, no matter what was said, it won't hinder his holiday, but it was still better to put it in a better way.
"You..."
Eaton took a deep look at Aoba, and there was a complicated expression on his face.
There was appreciation. But when you look at it carefully. There was also a trace of doubt.
"Your vacation has been applied. From now on, you can enjoy the holiday time. As for when the holiday will end..."
When Eaton said this, he paused for a moment and stared at Aoba.
"Theoretically, you can take a break until the war begins."
"But..."
"I think you don't need to rest for that long."
"Come back when you feel that you have rested enough!"
After saying this, Eaton instinctively raised his right hand to pat Aoba on the shoulder.
Just as he raised his hand, he suddenly remembered Aoba's body and immediately retracted his hand.
"Thank you, Captain Eaton. I will be back soon."
A satisfied smile appeared on Aoba's face.
"Okay."
Eaton nodded. After a moment of silence, he said, "That's it, I will be going now because I still have things to do. Come find me when you want to come back."
After saying that, Eaton turned around and walked towards the entrance of the dormitory.
"Yes!"
Aoba replied, feeling very happy in his heart. It didn't matter whether he was overthinking or not. This holiday had come.
Then, it wouldn't have anything to do with the missing people case that had caused such an uproar in the village.
Avoid these dangers. Then, you could continue to live in peace.
"Right."
When Eaton reached the door, he stopped and turned his back to Aoba. He slowly turned his head and said, "Don't forget to exercise during this period of time. When the war begins, the workload will be huge."
"Yes!"
Aoba responded again. This kind of thing did not need Eaton to remind him because he would make good use of this period of time.
"Um."
Eaton directly left Aoba's dormitory and closed the door behind him. He had no intention of letting Aoba send him off.
"What a strange kid!"
After closing the door, Eaton couldn't help but shake his head and walk back to the small black room.
In the morning, he went to the Hokage's office. After reporting to Third Hokage Hiruzen about his work, he mentioned that he wanted to apply for Aoba a holiday.
He initially thought that this matter would be somewhat difficult.
He did not expect that the Third Hokage would agree at that time.
Moreover, he seemed to know Aoba's name.
If he was not mistaken, with his many years of experience in interrogation, Eaton vaguely felt that there was something wrong with this. But he did not think too much about it and did not ask much.
...
After getting the holiday, Aoba felt much more relaxed.
"Let's go train..."
Aoba immediately thought of going to the woods to train and left Anbu's dormitory.
He had just walked out of the dark underground. He heard the crowd outside discussing something.
"Huh?"
Aoba keenly caught a special message from these people's chat.
Danzo?
What happened?
Could it be...
Aoba did not take the initiative to inquire about it. Instead, he pretended to be idle as he walked towards these people who were discussing. He secretly listened to their conversation.
All of a sudden.
Aoba seemed to have discovered a new world.
After these people finished speaking.
Not far away, there was still a group of people discussing.
He walked over to those people.
After listening to the contents of their discussion, he heard other people discussing the same thing too.
And just like that, Aoba heard it all his way on Konohagakure's most bustling core area.
He even heard more than ten versions.
Some people said that Danzo was the reincarnation of a tengu who could eat people, and the missing people were all eaten by him.
Some people said that the floating corpses on the river were imprisoned by Danzo, and when he escaped unsuccessfully, he was killed.
Some people said...
These versions were almost all related to Danzo.
"Good fellow!"
After listening for a while, a playful smile appeared on Aoba's face.
"As expected, it has begun."
"Since that's the case..."
"I won't talk about training for now."
Aoba was very cautious. After all, where he trained was a deserted forest. Once he was framed, it would be impossible to explain it clearly.
During this period of time, in the bustling area, he would eat melons seeds and watch the show.
Aoba immediately made a decision.
Of course, he was not idle either.
He directly walked towards a young man not far away and raised his hand to slap the latter head...
