Chapter 806: Chapter 732 Aftermath Chapter 806: Chapter 732 Aftermath “Please recount the attack process again.”

Gendo Ikari sat in his office, looking at Tao Yu, Misato, and Shinji before him, showing no joy at reuniting with his son whom he had not seen for three years.

His expression was as calm as ever, even indifferent.

He seemed like a machine just completing a mission.

“Yes!”

Although Misato had already reported by phone, she now started from the beginning again.

As for Tao Yu’s performance, besides Shinji still being in shock,

no one else seemed too surprised.

Coming from Takigakure Village, it seemed like basic training.

Earlier, when Tao Yu had been hopping around in the hangar, he hadn’t hidden his combat skills at all, and his performance on the highway had shown precise shooting and good driving.

…

To them, this was all clear.

“Did you precisely determine your location…”

“Alright, you may leave now.

Stay active within the city, and try to minimize going out.

Also, don’t go to school for a while.”

Gendo Ikari did not completely stop their activities but instead asked them not to go to school for the time being, then paused before continuing,

“The Qualified will temporarily be your responsibility; take him to Ritsuko for testing later.”

Gendo Ikari’s indifferent demeanor also caused Shinji to feel a wave of disappointment; he very much wanted to scream and throw a tantrum.

But after looking at Tao Yu, he didn’t want to embarrass himself in front of a peer.

Since the arrangements were such, it seemed not too bad to accept them.

Qualified?

He had no idea what that was…

Shinji was naturally somewhat timid and easygoing.

Having seen Tao Yu’s example, he more calmly accepted the situation.

After all, although meeting his father this time wasn’t pleasant, it wasn’t like being forced by Angel into a corner to pilot Unit-01.

There was no excitement like before.

After the three left, Gendo Ikari then looked toward Kozo Fuyutsuki,

“Apart from us, only SEELE knew about Misato picking Shinji up.”

Gendo Ikari didn’t need to report every little thing; he actually had quite a lot of autonomy.

But because Tao Yu’s piloting of Unit-01 was too spectacular, he wanted to let Shinji try again, this was still his son, yet he now faced inquiries and had to respond.

“So, SEELE wants to stop the third Qualified?

They only want Minato Namikaze to be the Pilot?”

Kozo Fuyutsuki also delved deeper.

Minato Namikaze was Airi Suzuki’s cousin, and Airi Suzuki had likely come with a mission, so it seemed possible that Minato Namikaze was the same…

“I arranged for him to come over exactly because I had these concerns.”

“Recently, SEELE seems to be in contact with some new force, but we still lack information.”

“They have nearly managed to control the World, what could make them act this way…”

Kozo Fuyutsuki and Gendo Ikari both knew how influential SEELE was.

The fact that they could easily deflect blame for such a major disaster as the Second Impact and directly manipulate the UN demonstrated their potential power.

“Perhaps, it’s something from outside…”

Gendo Ikari’s words visibly startled Kozo Fuyutsuki, who then grew serious.

Indeed, it was currently confirmed that the surrounding worlds were sealed off, but who could guarantee that nothing could come in?

If that were the case, then indeed, everything would make sense!

SEELE’s influence is strong, but it only extends to their own territory for now.

Kozo Fuyutsuki had also looked at Gendo Ikari, truly a man deserving of his reputation, eerily calm, making judgments and responses with swiftest speed.

“What should we do then?”

“Do nothing.

If SEELE can have contact, we naturally can too.

Since they want to capture alive, they likely want to understand our ultimate armed strength.”

“So, you didn’t restrict their movements?

Just told them to stay indoors as much as possible?”

“Correct, because of Minato Namikaze’s situation, I was able to bring in a few experts from Takigakure Village, they will handle it well…”

…

“Ninja, huh… Brought by Airi Suzuki?

Or did NERV bring them to protect me?”

Tao Yu, Misato, and Shinji rode the orbital car back to the surface, Tao Yu also felt some discreet glances.

At first, he thought they were again Pioneers, but then made a new judgment based on some details and habits.

Ninja!

And likely ninja of notable strength in the past.

“Actually, the name Minato Namikaze itself gives away a lot of information.

Airi Suzuki perhaps didn’t recognize it due to her young age back then, but some of the older generations in Takigakure Village surely would have noticed something amiss.

They just didn’t communicate it to Airi Suzuki, so they came themselves…”

Tao Yu was not sure whether it was their own personal action or something hired by NERV.

However, the result seemed to bear no difference.

“Seven-Tails is still in the village, just suppressed, causing the Jinchuriki to fall into slumber.

Exactly where, however, requires someone in the know to lead the way…”

Communicating with Takigakure Village wasn’t a bad thing; Airi Suzuki simply knew too little about it.

Tao Yu pondered a bit but, considering the Pioneers previously encountered, didn’t immediately step forward.

The exact situation of the Pioneers was still unclear, not even knowing which side they represented.

Let the locals make some contact and clash first, then observe; it seemed appropriate.

“These few from Takigakure Village should be secretly protecting me, maybe they want to use me as bait, well, that’s fine…”

Tao Yu didn’t mind if his judgment was wrong.

Even if they were here to capture him, a mistaken judgment was just that.

Surely they wouldn’t actually capture him…

He casually did a divination, plain~

Probably no substantial benefit, but then again, what could some ordinary ninjas and a Senior Partner squeeze out?

But information-wise, they might gain something…

…

“Although it’s not a big problem inside the city, still, be cautious about safety, Minato, you are the expert in this area.

We are relying on you.”

Misato Katsuragi had absolutely no psychological burden, shoving her companion firearm into Tao Yu’s chest.

Previously, she might have been half-doubtful of what Ritsuko said about Takigakure Village, but after experiencing it firsthand on the road, she realized how exaggerated this guy was.

At this moment, she would only exaggerate that notion further.

She believed the other adults in Takigakure Village would only be stronger!

“Okay.”

Tao Yu accepted the gun without refusal.

Then the trio arrived at a large supermarket, the largest in the third New Tokyo, where all items were fully stocked.

But after entering the supermarket, they also noticed that there weren’t many people inside.

The few who were there hurriedly shopped, mostly buying emergency supplies like food and canned goods.

The previous attacks by the Water Angels and the UN military, even the impact of the N2 mine explosions.

Even if they hid in shelters, they could still feel the tremors.

At this moment, they were still in the panic from the previous battles, and fleeing residents of New Tokyo were not few…
