Chapter 381: Have You Had Enough Trouble!
When Shikaku heard this youth's question, he narrowed his eyes slightly. His eyes contained a sharp glint.
This question.
It was very excessive.
Right now, the Chunin Exams was not over yet!
This young man had stepped over his boundary!
A Genin actually asked about the Hokage's matter, this was overstepping, and there was nothing to say!
"This has nothing to do with you."
Shikaku coldly said. This kind of thing was very outrageous in itself. Whether he was the chief examiner or Hokage's office advisor, when he heard this question, he felt that it was extremely absurd.
"It's better to take care of your own affairs!"
Shikaku stared at the youth and said. In his opinion, this youth was a bit nosy, and the Hokage's matter was not something that anyone should worry about.
As soon as Shikaku said this.
Everyone present nodded in agreement.
Everyone felt that Shikaku's words were very reasonable. Right now, this youth looked like a clown, he doesn't make sense at all
"Hahahahaha..."
However, Aoba laughed loudly at this time, directly attracting everyone's attention, including Shikaku.
"Big Brother Shikaku."
"I think it's better for you to tell him!"
"Otherwise my image in these people's hearts will be that of a braggart!"
"This is the loss you have caused me!"
"You have to help me explain it clearly!"
Aoba's voice faintly sounded. The corners of his mouth slightly curled up, revealing a meaningful smile. He could accept solitary silence, and he could also have no desires, but this youth had already been in contact with him for a long time. If not for Shikaku being here at this time, he would ruthlessly slap this self-righteous youth in the face. He was afraid that in the future, they would think that he was a person who was easy to bully.
"Eh?"
Shikaku was stunned for a moment. After that, he looked at the people in the surrounding and finally landed on the youth.
Almost in an instant.
He immediately understood what was going on.
"So that's how it is!"
Shikaku was an extremely smart person, to begin with. He was only misled by his emotions at this time. Now, he no longer had any prejudice against Aoba in his heart. Moreover, after apologizing to Aoba, he deeply realized his problem.
At this moment.
Shikaku was very clear.
These people probably thought that Aoba had cheated, so they spoke ill of him.
But now, Shikaku already believed that Aoba did not cheat.
Then he naturally could not allow the misunderstanding caused by him to continue.
"I understand..."
Shikaku immediately looked at the youth. His eyes fell on the youth's eyes.
"I asked Aoba for help just now."
When Shikaku said this.
Everyone at the scene immediately gasped.
Even though everyone already had a feeling in their hearts and knew that Aoba might not be lying again, when they heard this, they were still shocked.
"That is to say... the chief examiner wants Aoba to help instead of Hokage-sama asking for Aoba's help. Is my understanding right?"
The youth immediately grasped the main point of Shikaku's words and spoke out once more. His goal was very simple. The previous parts that he had misunderstood Aoba had passed just like that. However, he had not misunderstood Aoba in some part. He had to take it out and explain it clearly. He absolutely could not let Aoba off easy.
All of a sudden.
The expressions of everyone present turned extremely strange.
Everyone was already disgusted with this youth. After all, there was no need to pursue this matter so deeply anymore.
However, this person was already determined to not let go.
Any slight problem in Aoba's speech must be taken out and magnified continuously, and finally, cause some trouble.
"You..."
Shikaku shook his head helplessly. After he shook his head, for some reason, he suddenly laughed.
"I asked Aoba for help..."
"It's to help Hokage-sama!"
"I know you might ask: Then why does Hokage-sama need Aoba's help?"
Shikaku has already learned to answer quickly. Before the youth could speak, he took the initiative to say what the youth wanted to ask. His IQ could crush this youth. To be able to make such a prediction was not difficult for him.
"I might as well tell you all about it!"
"This way, there is no need for you to disturb Aoba anymore!"
"You all know very well what happened in the Forest of Death. The three Iwagakure ninjas have died here. Hokage-sama wants to see the final scene that the three of them witnessed before their deaths. He needs the Sensor Ninjas from the Yamanaka clan to perform the Saiko Denshin(Mind-Reading Secret Technique) on them!"
"But..."
"There are still a few hours before any Yamanaka ninjas arrive here!"
"The longer the corpse's death passes, the fewer memories you can read. So after my suggestion, Hokage-sama decided to ask Aoba for help."
"Do you understand now?"
Shikaku had already spoken very clearly. In fact, he should not have said these words. However, in order to make up for the loss that he had caused to Aoba, he still spoke these words. He hoped that it could alleviate Aoba's troubles.
After hearing Shikaku's words, everyone present nodded. They all understood what was going on.
It seems like...
Aoba really didn't say any lie.
First, he didn't cheat.
Second, the Hokage asked him for help.
These two points seemed ridiculous and out of place; when they knew it, they were amazed. But after understanding the detail, they felt that everything was reasonable.
After hearing Shikaku's words, the youth did not say a word. He was completely silent. Now that this reason was gone, he had nothing to say.
No matter what he said.
It was meaningless!
Wrong!
It was still a mistake!
It was just that...
This youth knew that he had made a mistake, but he did not want to apologize. He did not want to lower his proud head.
...
After Shikaku finished speaking, he no longer paid any attention to the youth. Instead, he turned his gaze back to Aoba.
"Aoba, now that the misunderstanding has been cleared, are you really going to choose to forfeit?" Shikaku could not help but ask again. In his heart, he felt that Aoba's forfeiting was related to him. If he did not ask again, his heart would be uneasy.
"Yes."
Aoba nodded lightly. After that, he waved his hand at Shikaku and said, "Big Brother Shikaku, don't try to persuade me anymore. I have already decided that I will not continue the exam."
"Alright."
Shikaku nodded helplessly. Since he had already said this much and had already given Aoba a lot of steps. Even now, Aoba was still insisting. It could be said that Aoba really thought this way, so there was no need for him to say anything else.
"I'm leaving."
After Shikaku got the answer he wanted to know, there was no need to stay here anymore. He directly turned around and returned to the corridor he had just passed.
Next.
He was going to find the two proctors to confirm.
One was the proctor who stood in front of Aoba in the first round, the one who Aoba used Shintenshin no Jutsu(Mind Body Switch Technique).
The other was the proctor who took Aoba and the others to Entrance No. 19 in the second round.
These two proctors would definitely know something.
If there was nothing wrong with what Aoba said.
Then it could prove that Aoba really did not lie about this matter, and he did not cheat.
...
Everyone's eyes focused on Shikaku as they watched this chief examiner leave.
As Shikaku disappeared from everyone's line of sight.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
At this time.
Everyone looked at Aoba with a huge change in their eyes. They already knew that Aoba did not cheat. They knew that they had misunderstood Aoba earlier, and their impression of Aoba had changed.
But no one spoke.
They fell back into silence.
Aoba sat on the ground again and slowly closed his eyes. This kind of thing would not even cause his heart to fluctuate. He just wanted to prove that he was innocent through this kind of thing. As for other things, it was not so big.
Saki stared fixedly at Aoba. She had just finished cooperating with Shikaku's "performance". However, she had originally thought that Aoba was going to stay for the third round. However, she discovered that Aoba had already chosen to forfeit. This sort of thing was outside of her original expectations.
"Rin, wait for me here."
After hesitating for a moment, Saki said to Rin who was beside her. After she finished speaking, she directly walked over to Aoba who was resting with his eyes closed not far away.
"Aoba, I have something to tell you. Come over for a moment."
Saki walked in front of Aoba, who had his eyes closed, and said coldly. There was a hint of order in her tone.
"There is nothing to talk about," Aoba said indifferently. He did not even move his eyelids and had no intention of speaking to Saki.
In fact.
Originally, he still had some longing for this ninja team.
After all, this was something he did not have.
However, after a simple experience, he found that the experience was not very good. Not only did he lie down the whole time, but he was also slandered by his teammates.
Ever since he heard Saki say those words in the Forest of Death.
He did not have any good feelings for this self-righteous girl anymore.
"Come with me!"
Saki frowned. Her tone revealed some impatience. She felt that Aoba was deliberately challenging her limits by doing this.
This feeling made her very unhappy.
She just thought that Aoba was taking advantage of the situation.
How could he be so cheap?!
"If you want to say it, then say it here. If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. I also don't really want to know. You should prepare for the third round." Aoba said indifferently.
"Good!"
Saki immediately smiled and nodded while smiling.
"I wanted to call you to a place where no one was around to ask you!"
"That would save you some face!"
"This is because you don't want face. Then I will ask you here!"
Saki's voice was not loud, and she even deliberately lowered it a lot. However, this place was too quiet. In addition, after what happened just now, everyone's attention was still on Aoba, and they immediately noticed what happened here.
"????"
Question marks appeared in everyone's heads. In their understanding, Aoba and Saki were clearly teammates. Why did it look like their teammates had already turned against each other? What was going on?
In a split second.
The people on the scene once again turned into a crowd of people who were eating melons.
They had not recovered from the melon just now, and now they were going to eat a new melon here again.
After hearing Saki's words, Aoba did not have any reaction at all. Now he admired the brain circuits of this girl, he could not guess what the girl was thinking in her mind.
"Can you explain the forfeiting matter?"
Saki lowered her head and looked down at Aoba. The angle of her lightly lowered head showed a condescending attitude. Coupled with her questioning tone, it has a very strong sense of déjà vu.
"Explain what?" Aoba was stunned for a moment. He slowly opened his eyes and looked up at Saki. He said, "What is there to explain?"
"In the first round, you gave us two answers. In the second round, you helped us find the Scroll of Heaven. We broke the record two rounds in a row, and there was almost no consumption. In the third round, you directly gave up. Shouldn't you explain it?" Saki said coldly. Her eyes became sharp as she spoke. In just a few words, she found some questions to Aoba's answer earlier. After all, she didn't believe Aoba's answer in her heart.
"Why should I explain it to you?" The corners of Aoba's mouth curled up in disdain. After that, he said, "Moreover, I have just explained it. Didn't you hear it?"
"Aoba!"
After hearing Aoba's words, Saki's face turned extremely ugly. She glared at Aoba with fierce eyes, feeling that she had suffered a great deal of perfunctory.
"Have you had enough trouble!"
