In the next few days, Aoba came to Konohagakure's training place on time every day.

The faces he saw every day were different. But he could see the father and son in green clothes exercising with fatigue and sweating day and night.

Through the rhythm of their training, Aoba roughly understood the process of physical exercise.

After today, he no longer came here. Because he was ready to go back and exercise.

In the past few days, he did not read memories. He was relatively relaxed and did not pay attention to what had happened in the village recently.

Gradually.

A day passed.

As the sunset in the west, the darkness gradually occupied the forest and was about to disperse the last of the warm light.

"Aoba, so this is where you are."

However, a low voice sounded at this time.

After that, a hunchbacked old man appeared tremblingly not far from Aoba.

This old man was Yuta, who had interacted with Aoba several times.

"Captain Yuta, are you looking for me?"

Aoba looked over and focused on Yuta. The expression on his face did not change at all.

"There are indeed some things. Come to my house; I will treat you for a tea." Yuta nodded and said.

"Forget it." Aoba shook his head and refused.

"Aoba, I don't have much time left. Thinking back to the days when I was with Konohagakure Intelligence Division, I thought you were the most special. I couldn't help but want to catch up with you before I left." Yuta continued to insist.

"Forget it." Aoba looked at Yuta for a while and shook his head again.

After that, Aoba got up and walked directly towards the dormitory.

Although the process of leaving was not very polite, for Aoba, he did not want to have too close contact with Yuta.

At this time, the case of the missing people and the river corpse case combined could be said to be a joint operation of five parties.

This was no longer just a matter of the Third Hokage regime and the remnants of the old era. There was also the power of Danzo and Orochimaru, the power of the Konoha Military Police Force of the Uchiha Clan, and the participation of the Konohagakure Intelligence Division.

Each power had its own needs and thoughts, pursuing its own interests in this vortex.

This whirlpool.

Aoba did not want to get involved.

It was too troublesome and was not good for him.

This was also the reason why he did not give Yuta a face. After all, the latter had a special identity. At this time, he did not want to have too much contact with Yuta to avoid unnecessary trouble.

...

Yuta stood in place, watching Aoba leave. The smile on his face suddenly froze, and a vicious look flashed in his eyes.

"Aoba, you forced me to do this. No one is more suitable than you now."

Yuta whispered in his own voice. Then, just as Aoba was about to disappear from his sight, he took a trembling step. It seemed that he was leaving training's field, but the route he took was to follow Aoba.

...

Aoba had just taken a few steps.

He could clearly feel someone watching him from behind.

This feeling was very strong.

It had been a long time since he last felt this.

The last time was when he was warming up in the small forest and being watched by Eaton.

"I hope you won't force me."

Aoba lowered his head slightly, and the expression on his face became extremely serious. Ever since he obtained a Sage Body, his body had been extremely close to nature and was very sensitive to the gazes of others.

There was no need to think to know that the source of the gaze was Yuta.

Aoba was a cautious person.

He was also a person who found it troublesome.

He was completely uninterested in the case that the remnants of the old era had done to overthrow the Third Hokage.

He wanted to understand the ins and outs of the matter through reading memories to avoid these troubles and not let himself get involved.

But...

Aoba was not a coward who would hide and retreat. It was just his attitude. He liked the life of Buddha and was aloof from worldly affairs.

He would not take the initiative to provoke others and would not find trouble with others.

This didn't mean that he had no bottom line and principles.

On this matter, Yuta had come to find him twice.

In order not to get involved. Aoba even used Minato's back door to ask for leave.

But why did he come for him again?

Aoba was already impatient.

"I won't provoke you; if you don't provoke me, then everyone will be at peace. You better be sensible and don't think that I can be bullied just because I find it troublesome."

Aoba muttered to himself. He had already made a decision in his heart.

As for Yuta.

He had given many opportunities for the other party.

Now, this was his last chance.

I hope you cherish it!

Aoba immediately adjusted the frequency of his steps, quickened his pace, and walked towards Anbu's dormitory. At the same time, he paid attention to the feeling of being watched.

But as Aoba accelerated. Yuta also accelerated.

The two of them maintained a distance from each other.

They did not get close and also did not pull apart.

In Yuta's knowledge, he did not know that Aoba had long noticed his existence.

Ten minutes later.

Aoba stopped in his tracks and looked up at the dark sky.

In front of him was the end of the small forest, the empty street in front of Anbu's prison.

Aoba did not walk out. Instead, he turned around and walked into the small forest in the opposite direction.

"Huh?"

When Yuta saw this scene, a hint of doubt flashed through his eyes.

What was going on? Why didn't Aoba go back?

Could it be that Aoba has some secret?

Yuta became even more curious about Aoba!

He continued to maintain the same distance to Aoba. If Aoba accelerated, he would accelerate. If Aoba slowed down, he would slow down and keep staring at Aoba's back.

Just like this, the two of them were in tandem.

They walked for half an hour until they arrived at a deserted area deep in the forest.

All of a sudden, Aoba stopped in his tracks.

He turned his head and looked in Yuta's direction.

In his line of sight, he could not see Yuta. The other side was hiding very well. But he could feel the gaze of the other party on him.

"Captain Yuta, don't hide. Come out."

Aoba slowly said. His voice was not loud, but it could be clearly heard in the quiet forest.

When Yuta heard Aoba's words, a strange smile appeared on his face. His figure flashed and quickly appeared not far from Aoba, and he was about four or five meters away from Aoba.

Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!

A strong sound of hand colliding rang out in the small forest. Yuta couldn't help but clap his hands.

"Aoba, you are indeed the most cautious person I have ever seen. You can actually detect that I am following you!"

A hint of praise flashed through Yuta's eyes, and then he revealed a regretful expression.

"It's just..."

"What a pity."

"You're a pretty good seedling!"
