Infinity: The main god space starting from Naruto

Chapter 31 Pressure from Public Opinion

At this moment, the heavy metal door suddenly made a roar and slowly slid open to both sides. The officer from before came in pushing a cart filled with all kinds of food, and the aroma was fragrant.

The officer carefully placed the food on the table in front of Uchiha Fugaku, and then said respectfully: "Please enjoy. I don't know your taste preferences, so I have prepared some different types of food, I hope it suits your appetite."

Fugaku nodded slightly, thanking the officer for his thoughtful service. His eyes passed from the food to the officer.

"When will General Stark arrive?" Fugaku asked, his tone calm but with a hint of unquestionable tone.

The officer bowed slightly and responded respectfully: "The general has some important matters to deal with, but he will be with you soon. Please be patient and wait."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku said calmly: "By the way, I have finished reading these books, I want some new books."

"What?" The officer stopped in his tracks, turned around in shock, and looked at Fugaku in disbelief. His eyes quickly swept over the empty pile of books on the table, and the expression on his face changed from confusion to shock.

According to common sense, if a normal person wants to finish reading these dozens of books, it will take at least several months or even a year. But the other party actually finished reading them all in such a short time?
Seeing that the officer did not respond for a long time, Uchiha Fugaku raised his eyebrows slightly and asked calmly: "Why, is there any problem?"

The officer quickly came back to his senses, forced a smile, and coughed to cover up his gaffe. "No problem." He responded in a slightly flustered tone, "I will prepare new books for you as soon as possible. Please, please be patient."

Uchiha Fugaku picked up a few books from the table, flipped through them, and handed them to the officer. "I am interested in the contents of these books. I hope you can help me find more books with similar themes."

The officer raised his head and met Fugaku's unfathomable black eyes, and suddenly felt an inexplicable palpitation.

The man in front of me seemed easy-going and calm, but his every move revealed an indescribable majesty and oppression, like a dormant beast, which made people shudder.

"I understand." The officer managed to remain calm, but his voice was trembling. "I will find it for you as soon as possible. Please, please wait a moment."

After saying that, the officer quickly walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.

The moment the door closed, Uchiha Fugaku gently put the book in his hand back on the table, his eyes swept over the dazzling array of food on the cart beside him, and his brows frowned slightly.

Although the aroma of the food was tempting, years of experience on the battlefield told him that it was always better to be cautious in such an environment.

Fugaku reached into his arms and pulled out a ration pill from his ninja bag. This was his standard equipment when he went on a mission. It was light, convenient, and rich in nutrition. It was a regular food for ninjas.

He put the Bingliang Wan into his mouth, chewed it a few times and quickly swallowed it. It tasted a bit bitter and the texture was not very good, but Fugaku didn't care at all. For him, replenishing his physical strength and maintaining his combat effectiveness were the most important things.

At this time the other side

General Stark stood in front of a huge screen, staring at the picture on the screen intently.

In the picture, Uchiha Fugaku was sitting at the table, holding a thick book in his hands and reading attentively.

"He has been reading a book?" Stark asked with a hint of curiosity in his tone.

"Yes," the intelligence officer beside him replied respectfully, "since we sent those books, he has been reading them and has hardly stopped. And..."

The intelligence officer paused, pointed to the list of books on the screen, and continued: "From the list he selected, he seems to be particularly interested in our history. Most of them are works about major events in our planet's past, social changes, etc."

General Stark nodded slightly, his eyes still fixed on the screen. His brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something. "Why is he so interested in our history?" Stark muttered to himself, his voice low and hoarse.

At this moment, the entire command room was silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the big screen in front of them.

The next second, he stretched out his finger and lightly swiped across the screen, and the picture immediately switched to a news report.

"Mysterious Hero Appears! The Truth Behind the City Wall Collapse"

On the screen, Casey stood in the middle of the crowd, holding a banner with the words "Truth! We want the truth!" in both hands, with a firm look in his eyes.

She looked around and shouted: "The collapse of the city wall has buried countless innocent lives under the ruins. The government must give us an explanation! Where is the mysterious hero? Who is he? We have the right to know the truth!"

Waves of echoing slogans broke out from the crowd, and flags rose and fell in the sea of ​​people, rolling like waves.

"He saved all of our lives." Casey said to a young man beside him, his tone full of admiration, "We can't let his contribution be buried like this. He deserves everyone's respect and praise."

General Stark looked at the news report on the screen with a frown on his face. He tapped the table with his fingers, as if thinking about something.

"It seems that the people are very concerned about the collapse of the city wall and the mysterious man," he said in a deep voice, "the situation is more intense than we expected."

"Sir, do you want to consider issuing some public statements?" the assistant beside him suggested cautiously, "Perhaps we can reveal some information appropriately to calm the public's emotions."

Stark snorted coldly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"Let those high-ranking gentlemen worry about it. They cut our budget and insisted on building the wall, and now they are finally reaping the consequences."

At this moment, an adjutant walked quickly into the command room, came in front of Stark, stood at attention and saluted.

"Report to the general, the two monster experts have arrived." said the adjutant respectfully.

Stark heard this and nodded slightly.

"Tell them to wait a moment, I have more important things to deal with."

After saying that, he stood up and strode towards the door: "Let's go and meet this mysterious man."

The intelligence officer was stunned for a second, then hurriedly caught up, jogging a few steps to walk side by side with Stark: "Sir, is it really appropriate for us to go to see him rashly like this? We still have very limited understanding of him."

"Understand?" Stark stopped and turned around. "He has shown us his strength and goodwill. Now, it's our turn to show sincerity."

He reached out and patted the intelligence officer on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Sometimes, to understand a person, you can't just rely on intelligence and data. What's more important is direct exchange and communication."

"But." The intelligence officer wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Stark.

"Let's go," Stark patted his shoulder, his tone firm, "Let's go meet our guests."
