Chapter 3: Wretched Development, Never Waver!

"Hai~" Aoba sighed heavily and slowly opened his eyes. After reviewing all of the memories, he combined them with the memories he had read on Furai. "It is the 36th year of Konoha Calendar, and the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was in power. The Second Ninja War has just ended, so the third Ninja War has not yet begun, and it is in a short period of peace." "However, this is only superficial peace. Undercurrents are surging between the various villages. There are spies from other villages in Konoha, and naturally, there are Konoha spies in other villages. During the war, everywhere is dangerous!" "Although I got the Sage Body, it only changed his physical weakness. Without long and arduous training, I couldn't exert the Sage Body's true power at all. But he currently can't reveal any abnormality!" "People who know me that as long as there are no changes in my body, I will not be sent to the battlefield because of my health. This Anbu's torture division is a very safe place instead!" Aoba carefully sorted out the timeline and the current environmental background in his memory. Ninja World was a very cruel world. It was far from being as passionate and idealistic as it seems in anime. A ninja would be sacrificed for the mission at any time. "I don't want to be the victim at that time, and I also have the mind-reading system, so I have to plan carefully!" Aoba moved his thoughts to the system. When he crossed over, he thought about whether he would get a system. He also looked forward to it for a while, but he didn't expect it to really come. "I can read Furai's memory, which the system read for me. But earlier, I can infer that the mind-reading system can only read the memory of the same person once!" "The biggest problem now is..." "The Safe body I got just now was because I read the memory for the first time. So next time I read the memory, will there be another reward?" Aoba pinched his eyebrows and kept thinking. The system came suddenly, and there was no manual. Aoba didn't even know the specific rules of use and could only slowly explore them. "Never mind." "I'll just wait for the next mission." "When I read memory again later, I will eventually find out." After Aoba thought for a while, he couldn't help but want to read the memory again. He didn't even think of going out and staying still in this room. He was worried about what to do if he was called away to read memory earlier, but now he started looking forward to it. His change in life was so sudden! ... Aoba looked forward to it for three days. It feels like when he just touched a certain game and got addicted to it. But he was forcibly banned from using the Internet for three days. He spent every day struggling... During these three days, he thought about secretly exercising, but he was afraid that there were eyes on him and discovered his abnormal behavior. Based on the principle of being cautious. Aoba decided not to do any risky things until he had completely figured out the situation and still maintained a sickly appearance. ... Konoha Torture and Interrogation Force. In the dim environment, only candlelight brings a trace of light. Eaton still wore that black trench coat, and his whole body looked extremely majestic. "Aoba, you are here." Eaton looked in Aoba's direction, and when his gaze fell on Aoba, the lines on his face became much softer. "Captain Eaton!" Aoba said his greetings. "Look at this person..." Eaton cast a look not far in front of him. The wooden cross frame in front of them has a person tied on it. Judging from its aura, he doesn't look like a ninja. "This man claimed to be a vendor in Yu no Kuni (Land of Hot Water). When he left the village, he looked panicked when a ninja guard stopped him, and from his luggage, the guard found a piece of information to be passed in Kirigakure." "We have every reason to suspect that he is the person who comes to Konoha to spy some information." "But no matter how we interrogated, he insisted that he didn't know anything. Even if he was threatened with death, he would still not admit it." "The most important is…." Eaton bowed his head slightly, leaned to Aoba's ear, and said in a voice that only Aoba could hear. "According to my years of interrogation experience, I don't think he was lying. He was likely caught in a Genjutsu or some other way, which caused him to be regarded as a pigeon without even knowing it himself!" "I know you haven't rested enough yet, but this person is an ordinary person, not a ninja, and shouldn't be too tortured much!" "I want to know what he has experienced during his time in Konoha!" "Is he lying or someone using him secretly!" "I'll give it all to you!" After Eaton finished speaking, he patted Aoba on the shoulder again to show that he had handed the burden to him. Aoba hurriedly grinned his teeth, showing a painful expression. The change in his physical fitness must not be easily exposed. He wanted to stay in the torture division because it was the safest place. "Ah, sorry!" Eaton saw Aoba's appearance and suddenly realized that his hand seemed to hit too heavy, so he should pay attention to it in the future. Hais… He couldn't help sighing inwardly. This kid was actually quite nice. It's just his body was too fragile! "Captain Eaton, I'll see what I can do!" Aoba cautiously rubbed his shoulders, showing a painful posture, and walked to the bound person. He raised his right hand and began to mobilize his chakra while showing the appearance of using the secret arts of the Yamanaka clan. Hum! The moment his right hand touched the top of the person's head, his body trembled slightly, and memory fragments appeared in his mind. "Ding Dong! Successfully read the memory! Obtained, Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique)!" The crisp electronic sound rang in Aoba's mind, which immediately confirmed his thoughts, causing a burst of ecstasy in his heart. As expected! You can get rewards every time you read the memory! "Huh..." Aoba took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and showed as much as possible the complex emotions generated in reading the memory. Now he understands how the mind-reading system works. As long as you read the memory, you can get rewards! If he wanted to become stronger, he had to read as much memory as possible. If it were outside the torture division, no one would let him read their memory so easily. When you look at it like this... The torture division was the perfect place! After a while. Aoba made up his mind. He would stay in this Torture Division and quietly read the memories of the interrogated people while improving his strength. He will absolutely not waver in this kind of wretched development!
