Chapter 268 Aoi

"Ryoma?"

After leaving the Hokage Building, Aburame Ryoma followed behind his boss, walking lightly and trying not to make any noise to avoid attracting Danzo's attention.

Even though he was so careful, he still heard his boss's call.

"Here! What are your orders?"

As soon as he heard his boss's voice, Ryoma was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat.

However, he responded to his boss immediately. The other party was angry and he did not dare to show any slightness.

"Is it the ANBU team that 'protects' the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki?"

It is said to be protection, but in fact, with Kushina's strength, there is no need for ANBU protection. If there is really danger, we don't know who is protecting whom.

Just another word for surveillance.

Hearing Shimura Danzo's question, Aburame Ryoma's body tensed up instantly. He understood the other party's methods of doing things.

The Anbu who were asking at this time were obviously trying to find out the current situation of Kushina Uzumaki.

As for what to do...

"Well...what are you hesitating about?"

When there was no response for a long time, Danzo Shimura stared at Aburame Ryoma quietly with his one eye, his tone was gentle, and nothing unusual could be heard.

But Ryoma Aburame knew that this was a sign before her boss exploded. Every time the other party talks to his subordinates like this, if the subordinates cannot respond to his satisfaction, the result will be quite miserable.

It's just...as a Konoha ninja, he really doesn't know how to deal with his boss's questions.

He knew the answer to the question, but Uzumaki Kushina's identity made him hesitate. But compared to this, his boss's expression became more and more wrong, making it impossible for him to remain silent any longer.

"It's...Team 11."

Seeing that his boss's expression did not improve at all, Aburame Ryoma continued, "Aoi...is in this team."

At this time, he couldn't control so much. If he still hesitated, his boss would probably write him down in the notebook.

"Remember! Gen can't have emotions, and there can't be any hesitation in following my orders."

The other party's abilities were pretty good and valuable, so Danzo just gave him a gentle warning.

Otherwise, based on the other party's performance just now, there are many dangerous tasks waiting for people to perform.

"Let Aoi focus on the little girl named Nohara Lin."

After saying these words, Danzo continued walking towards his home base, the location of his 'roots'.

After hearing Danzo's instructions, Aburame Ryoma relaxed his tense nerves and breathed a sigh of relief.

His boss doesn't just want to target Uzumaki Kushina, but as for Nohara Rin, it doesn't matter to him.

But...has his boss changed his temper this time? You lost such a big face and let it go so gently?

…

"Kushina, you are too impulsive this time. How can you treat those elders like this? Danzo will not talk about it. I have transferred to Koharu and Elder Mitomon En and they are still worthy of our respect!"

As soon as they returned to their home, Namikaze Minato began to exhort Kushina earnestly.

"Hi! Hi!!"

"Next time I will pay attention!"

Although she was somewhat disapproving of her boyfriend's words, she still listened carefully, but her tone was still somewhat perfunctory.

These old men and women really annoyed her.

Not only did they restrict her movements all day long, but they also sent some three-legged cat ninjas to monitor her. She had long wanted to 'teach' these people a lesson.

I just haven't found the right opportunity.

"It was Danzo, the old man, who came up with such a bad idea. He actually wanted to...how could I not hold back from getting angry?"

When she talked about this, she became angry. If she followed the other party's method, wouldn't Lin have no hope of survival?

Those elders, one or two, were very willing to give it a try, and they really didn't take their jinchūriki's lives seriously.

"Don't worry, the Sandaime won't let this happen!"

Regarding this, Namikaze Minato is quite confident. At this point in time, the main issue that the Sandaime Hokage is concerned about is how to completely end this war.

"Rather than dwell on this matter, why not talk about it, what are you going to do about Lin's matter?"

Compared to these things, Kushina is obviously more concerned about Lin's things.

If the other person could stay in Konoha, she would have a similar person. Although Minato is very good, he is too busy. Every day he is either performing tasks or being called over by three generations of old men to discuss matters.

She stayed at home alone and felt lonely.

It would be best if there was someone like Lin.

"Lin's matter..."

When he talked about this, he was a little confused. This kind of thing still depends on the attitude of the Mist Ninja. It is really not something that he or Konoha can decide unilaterally.

"Minato-sensei, Kushina-san, thank you for everything you have done for me, but I am ready."

"If this can end this war early, I can..."

She didn't say what it was, but the meaning was self-evident.

After experiencing the scene that happened in the conference room today, she was smart and realized that her ending might not be too good.

However, for the sake of the village and her companions, she was willing to be the victim in exchange for the safety of more of her companions. She had already had this realization a long time ago, but the arrival of senior Toshiro delayed the time.

While speaking, Nohara Lin showed a peaceful smile to the two of them, as if she didn't care at all about what she meant by saying this.

"Lin!!"

Seeing Nohara Rin being so sensible, Kushina could no longer control her emotions, and hugged her into her arms tightly.

At the same time, a sad emotion also surged into her heart.

There is another way of saying the so-called Jinchūriki.

It means placing a living person in a pit and pouring sand into it bit by bit, from the feet to the calves, to the chest, abdomen and neck.

Until finally, the whole person was buried in the mud, causing him to suffocate to death.

This method is so cruel to a living person. While inside, I watched the sand and stones cover my mouth and nose little by little, reaching the top of my head.

That kind of feeling of approaching death a little bit, and the pressure on it, is simply not something that an ordinary person can understand.

And Nohara Lin, like her, involuntarily shouldered the pressure that they should not have to bear at such a young age.
