Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer

Chapter 38: God Assists from Teuchi!

"You seem to be very tired?"

Minato sat next to Aoba, his blue pupils staring at Aoba's pale face, his eyes flashing with concern.

Just as Minato sat down, Kushina also sat down.

"What a coincidence!"

A smile appeared on Kushina's face, and she said to Aoba, "We were just thinking about whether we would meet you on the way here!"

"What a coincidence!"

Aoba grinned, his smile full of fatigue. Just the image he showed gave people a feeling of vicissitudes.

Of course, these were all demonstrated by the superb acting skills condensed after reading countless memories.

As the saying goes, art comes from life.

Many old artists needed to be closer to life when they tempered their acting skills, felt life and acted out their true feelings.

Aoba, on the other hand, was experienced and knowledgeable. Through these memories, he had accumulated a lot of experience.

What a coincidence!

If Minato did not arrive on the last day of his holiday, Aoba would carry out Plan B!

"Did something happen?"

Minato frowned slightly. Just by looking at Aoba, he felt that something seemed to have happened to him.

"It's fine."

Aoba waved his hand, squeezed out a forced smile, and said, "Nothing happened."

"Cough cough... cough cough cough..."

As Aoba finished speaking, Teuchi, who accidentally heard Aoba speak, choked on his saliva and hurriedly coughed twice.

After that, Teuchi immediately began to calm down and pretended not to hear anything.

At the same time, Minato and Kushina looked at each other and could see the doubt in each other's eyes.

"Aoba, are you hiding something from me?"

Minato asked.

"Aoba, you can believe us. Minato has been thinking about you all this time, and he wants to go to Anbu Division to see you several times."

Kushina said.

"I'm really fine..."

Aoba waved his hand again, his eyes fluttered, looking left and right, not daring to look directly into Minato's eyes, showing a feeling of hiding something.

"Aoba, do you not treat me as a friend?"

Minato's face suddenly became serious. He was very enthusiastic, and Aoba was his friend in the Ninja School; he was very concerned about his friends.

"Yes! Yes! Do you not treat us as friends?"

Kushina put her hands on her waist, and the atmosphere became tense.

"This..."

Aoba pursed his lips and looked troubled. He slowly raised his eyelids and focused his gaze on Minato's blue eyes.

When their gazes only met for a moment, Aoba immediately shifted his gaze away and also lowered his head slightly.

"Ha~..."

Aoba breathed a heavy sigh of relief as if he was having a mental struggle.

Minato and Kushina looked at each other again and could see each other's thoughts from each other's eyes.

They were absolutely right!

Aoba was in trouble!

It was just...

Aoba did not say anything!

The two of them looked at each other. Minato looked at Aoba seriously. He did not continue to ask and decided to give Aoba some time. But his heart was even more determined to help his friend solve the problem!

"Actually..."

Aoba finally heaved a sigh of relief and looked down at the dark yellow wooden table.

"It's nothing."

"It's just that I didn't live up to my expectations!"

"Minato."

"You know that."

"I'm not in good health."

"And..."

"Recently..."

"I'm very tired."

Aoba said intermittently, and his tone was full of fatigue. When he finished the last sentence, he looked up at Minato, and his eyes flashed with relief as if he was relieved after saying these words.

"This won't do!"

Minato's face was grave. He knew very well that Aoba was not in good health. After all, the latter had dropped out of school because of this reason.

"It's okay, and I just need to adjust it. So thank you for your concern!"

Aoba forced a smile.

"No! This is not the way to solve the problem! How about I find a way to get you out of Anbu!"

Minato said in a deep voice, his eyes flashing with worry. He smelled danger from Aoba's tired posture. If this continued, maybe he would die of overwork.

"No, no, I like Anbu's work very much. I found the value of my existence there, and I don't want to leave Anbu."

Aoba shook his head again and again and suddenly became serious. Through this change in demeanor, he told Minato that he was not joking. Then he continued, "I'm really fine. You don't have to worry too much, and you don't have to go through so much trouble. I'm... fine now!"

"Then... this..."

Minato was stunned, not knowing what to say, and the situation suddenly froze.

"The noodles are ready!"

Just as Minato was thinking about what to say, Teuchi held the plate and faced them. There were three bowls of noodles on the plate.

Then, Teuchi placed three bowls of noodles in front of the three of them.

"Minato!"

"Let me tell you..."

"I saw with my own eyes how tired this kid is!"

"He can't even eat noodles without regulating his breathing."

"You have to help this friend of yours!"

Teuchi said with a smile. After that, he glanced at Aoba and winked at him.

"I want to help, but I don't know how? You heard it; he doesn't want to leave Anbu..."

Minato said with a wry smile.

"Isn't that simple?"

Teuchi smiled and said, "I'm also getting exhausted when I cooked noodles for a day and closed the shop at the end of the day. But if I rested and did not open the Noodle House even once, I would be sad. But if you help me for a day and let me rest, I might recover. What he needs is not to leave Anbu but more time to rest!"

"I see!"

Minato's eyes suddenly lit up. He slapped his forehead and said, "Why didn't I think of it!"

At this moment, Aoba widened his eyes.

He could not believe his ears.

No way...

He had pretty much paved the way and was just about to find a suitable opportunity to say this. But he had never expected this!

Teuchi actually gave him God-like assist!

This was simply too great!

The surprise in Aoba's eyes disappeared in an instant, and then it turned into thinking as if he was thinking about what Teuchi had just said to rest.

"Aoba, I think Brother Teuchi is right. You are too tired and need to rest for a while. Why don't you take a day off to rest?"

Minato said seriously to Aoba. He was really concerned about Aoba, and he did not want Aoba to have any accidents because he was too tired.

"But... my vacation is finished!"

Aoba said awkwardly.

"Anbu's vacation is indeed very strict..."

Minato nodded. He knew the operation of the village very well. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly made a decision. He patted his chest and made a promise.

"Aoba, leave this matter to me. I will apply for a holiday for you, but you must promise me that you must rest well. Work is important, but health is more important!"
