Eaton's eyes were fixed on Aoba, and his face was smiling, as if he was watching students hand in their homework.
"Who do you pick."
Eaton nodded, and eyes were flashing with expectation.
Aoba immediately responded and then pointed out 6 children among the 23 children.
"These 6 people are qualified!"
Aoba made his decision. These 6 people were all people who he gained spiritual power when he reads their memory.
These children have one characteristic in common; they were cautious, and there was no fear in their hearts.
Even Aoba didn't believe it.
These kids had really no fear.
This kind of feeling doesn't feel like you were going to perform a mission as a spy.
It was more like they were just going to play a game!
"Oh?"
The expression on Eaton's face has become richer.
This state has never been revealed in front of Aoba.
"Aoba."
"Can I ask why?"
"There is also..."
"This first child, you just thought he could!"
"Now you think he can't do it!"
"What is the reason for this?"
Eaton narrowed his eyes slightly so that the light in his eyes became restrained, and coupled with the dim environment of the small black room, his whole body seemed to be hidden in the dark.
"Yes."
Aoba responded again, and then his eyes swept over the children lying on the ground unconscious.
"Captain Eaton."
"Each of these 23 children is voluntarily acting as a spy on a mission."
"And no one is absolutely loyal."
"If only loyalty is the standard..."
"These kids can be spies!"
Aoba said in a deep voice. When he said these words, he couldn't help but sigh.
The Ninja World was very cruel.
The major forces were not only fighting on the surface. But was also fighting each other secretly!
The things he has come into contact with right now were not shown in the anime he has seen.
The angle of the animation was warm and cheerful.
The world of Anbu was the opposite of it!
"As for why I chose 6 people in the end..."
Aoba continued to speak and explain his decision.
"There is no fear in their hearts."
"Any trace of fear may cause mistakes to happen."
"For us, this is a task, but for them, they will become part of other villages."
"If you are afraid of living in the village, you might reveal your identity at some point."
"The most important is…."
"The characters of these 6 children are more cautious!"
"They are more suitable to be spies!"
"That's why I removed the first child!"
Aoba explained his reason thoroughly, but he understood that what he said was only a suggestion for reference.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
After Aoba finished saying these words.
Eaton directly clapped his hands and applauded.
The crisp applause echoed in the quiet little black room and appeared even louder.
This sudden applause made Aoba a little dazed.
He looked at Eaton in surprise.
"Aoba."
"As expected, I did not read you wrong!"
"You did a great job!"
Eaton's eyes suddenly burst into deep appreciation.
"Eh?"
Aoba was stunned for a moment, faintly feeling that this seemed to be a test. But from the memories of these children, he did not see any arrangements.
"Before I asked you to check the loyalty of these children..."
Eaton slowly said, "They have been already screened."
"..."
Aoba was speechless for a while. No wonder everyone was very loyal and brave, and he thought this was a necessary attribute for children born in wars.
"These 23 children are the most loyal group selected."
Eaton continued.
"But…"
"Among them, 17 children fluctuate slightly in their mentality."
"Compared to being a spy."
"They are more suitable to go to ninja school."
"They will become very good ninjas, and they will have the determination to die when performing village missions."
"But their overly aggressive character is not suitable for tasks like spies that require calmness."
"So…"
"Before you probe."
"I know who to keep!"
"I just want to see if you can notice the question of what is appropriate!"
"You really did live up to my expectations!"
Eaton showed a rare smile, which was like the encouragement of the older generation to the younger generation.
"So that's it."
Aoba nodded slowly. He understood why he didn't see the trace of the arrangement in their memory.
Because there was no arrangement at all.
None of these children knew they were selected.
After they were influenced by the drugs, their memories stopped, and they didn't know what would happen later.
So, these children did not know that they had been probed.
Aoba was reading the memories of these children and did not get this information.
There was no way for an unconscious person to have external memories!
But it really makes sense if these children have already been probed.
There were a lot of talents in the Konoha Anbu.
The spies sent out in the past would definitely go through this kind of test.
And except for him, the torture division itself has other Yamanaka people who can use mind-reading.
What he didn't expect was...
Captain Eaton would actually use such a thing to evaluate him.
He seems to be more cautious!
He deserves to be the torture expert of Konoha!
He has so many means!
Aoba can be sure that this was the first time Eaton has used this kind of routine because there was no such picture in his past memory.
"Aoba, don't blame me. There are many things you don't know about."
Eaton saw Aoba being silent and began to explain in a low voice.
"In addition to the torture division in Konoha Intelligence Division, there is also an Analysis division!"
"Although you came late and haven't contacted the people of that group, you belong to the Analysis group of Konoha Intelligence Division."
"The leader of the Analysis Division Yamanaka Yuta was about to retire."
"Now we need to find a new team leader to succeed!"
"Among the 11 Perception Ninjas in the Analysis Team..."
"I think you are the most suitable!"
"So."
"I am very optimistic about you!"
"This time, it can be said that it is my test for you."
"And you did a great job!"
After Eaton said this, his tone paused slightly, then the smile on his face was reduced, and he became serious.
"So…"
"The team leader of the Analysis Division of Konoha Intelligence Division will perform more tasks than others and take the responsibility of the group!"
"Because your physical condition is not very good..."
"I decided to ask your opinion."
"Are you ready for a tougher challenge?"
