Chapter 43: The Road is Wider!
Chapter 43: The Road is Wider!
"Aoba, how are you?"
After sending out the ninjas, Eaton walked towards Aoba with concern in his eyes.
"I'm fine..."
Aoba said weakly.
"I'll take you to the hospital."
Eaton raised his hand and was about to help Aoba up.
"No... no need..."
Aoba immediately waved his hand. Then, he took off the mask on his face with his right hand and immediately revealed a pale face, and it gave people a fragile look as if he was trying to hold on.
"Why are you still trying to be strong at a time like this?"
Eaton's tone seemed to be blaming him, but it was filled with praise for Aoba.
"Captain Eaton, I'm really fine. I was just frightened. These bloodstains are not mine."
Aoba shook his head and said this.
"It's not yours?"
Eaton immediately re-examined Aoba and found that the latter was lying on the ground. Other than some blood on his body, he was not injured anywhere. He could not help but ask doubtfully, "What exactly is going on?"
"It's like this..."
Aoba told Eaton.
"When I was interrogating that person, I found that he was very tight-lipped. He was very strict and didn't say anything. Then I planned to use the soldering iron to scare him."
As Aoba spoke, he glanced at the iron rod on the ground on his right hand, indicating that this was the soldering iron he was talking about.
"I just wanted to scare him. I didn't intend to warm and use the soldering iron at all. I didn't expect him to suddenly break free from the rope and then try to kill me with a Kunai..."
With his superb acting skills, Aoba began to compile the wonderful stories that had happened in this little compartment.
"And then?"
Eaton was stunned and even more puzzled. He asked, "Why aren't you injured? Is he injured?"
"What a coincidence..."
Aoba slowly got up. It looked like he had used a lot of effort to point at the chains and pincers on the ground.
"I don't know if it's because it's too dark here or because he's too nervous."
Just as he was about to stab me with Kunai, he was entangled by the chains on the ground, and it just so happened to hit the pincers and cut open his face.
"At that time, I was frightened and shouted. Maybe because I scared him, he immediately got up and ran away."
"Then you came..."
Aoba explained in a hurry. The moment he threw these props on the ground, he had already started to lay out the scene of the crime.
He did not know what speed the nearby ninjas would come after he shouted.
He definitely could not wait for the middle-aged man to run away before setting it up.
Although he knew that there were loopholes.
But as long as there was a reasonable reason.
In addition, the middle-aged man was Sunagakure's spy.
No one would doubt that he, the victim, was lying.
"Just like that?"
The corners of Eaton's mouth twitched. This was the result?
"Yes, that's it."
Aoba nodded.
"Alright!"
Eaton raised his hand out of habit, wanting to pat Aoba on the shoulder.
But, at the moment when his palm was suspended in the air.
He thought of this kid's weak constitution.
His palm swayed once in the air before withdrawing.
"That..."
Eaton scratched the back of his head to avoid the embarrassment of making a move in vain. He glanced at Aoba and said, "Since you have nothing to do, I won't accompany you. I suggest you go to the hospital to have a check-up and then go back to rest. You did well today."
"Well... I suspect... that person might be a ninja."
Aoba pursed his lips as if he had hesitated for a long time before he spoke his judgment.
"There's no doubt about that. That person must be a ninja.
He's a spy sent by a certain village. For you to find a spy this time, it can be said that you've made a great contribution. "Eaton said in a deep voice.
"No, I didn't make any contributions, and I didn't do a good job and let that person escape."
Aoba shook his head repeatedly.
"He can't escape!"
Eaton said confidently.
"Thanks to Captain Eaton's timely judgment of that person's identity, the village caught another spy. This is all thanks to Captain Eaton!" Aoba immediately gave a flattering at this time.
"Oh?"
Eaton took a deep look at Aoba and smiled.
This subordinate of his was pretty cute!
He was not greedy at all and even gave this credit to him!
He had to say that this was very useful to him!
He was in the position of Konohagakure Intelligence Division Captain. This time, in front of so many people, he found a spy and almost hurt his subordinates.
If this matter was not handled well, he was likely to be criticized!
But, after learning about the situation from Aoba. Eaton found out. Not only was Aoba not injured, but he also helped him find a spy and gave him credit for discovering the spy.
This made the bad things he was worried about just now directly turn into good things.
He didn't say anything else and stood up directly.
Then, he walked out of the little compartment's room.
When he reached the door. He paused for a moment.
"Aoba, go back and have a good rest. I will try my best to apply for a holiday for you."
After saying that, Eaton disappeared into the darkness.
...
All of a sudden.
Aoba was the only one left in the dark little compartment.
"The road is wider!"
Aoba moved his neck left and right, maintaining the posture of falling to the ground just now. His neck was a little sore.
Sure enough, flattery was useful at any time!
Aoba didn't want any credit in the first place and just wanted to stay quietly in Konohagakure Intelligence Division. This matter might become the topic of conversation for the Konohagakure Intelligence Division in the future.
He didn't want his name to be spread.
Instead of finding a spy in such a funny way, it was better to package himself as a victim and won't be affected by this incident.
It allowed Konohagakure Intelligence Division Captain Eaton, with his unique wisdom, to discover that the escaped prisoner was Sunagakure's spy, and thus achieved the effect of eliminating harm for the people.
"The vacation this time should be stable."
Aoba slowly got up from the pool of blood, simply wiped the blood on his palm, and returned to the dormitory.
At the same time, there were many people gathered around the river in the center of Konohagakure.
These people pointed at the river with different expressions on their faces, and their eyes were slightly nervous and flustered.
"Konoha Military Police Force!"
At this time, a serious voice rang out, followed by a group of guards wearing Konohagakure's ninja clothes walking through the crowd.
These guards looked towards the river and immediately saw a floating corpse.
"This person..."
A young man in his early twenties in the Police Force said in a deep voice, "Isn't he the one who disappeared a few days ago?"
