Aoba felt the suspicious gazes of the people around him.
He was already a little embarrassed, and now, he felt even more embarrassed.
Especially, the stares of those people were gradually changing, and it was as if they were looking at a fool...
At this moment, Aoba suddenly understood the words that he had not taken seriously in the past.
Social Death!
If he had known earlier, he would constantly change the name and not keep looking for Minato.
But...
Aoba was also very helpless!
He didn't know many people in the Ninja World, and he couldn't just randomly make up a name to look for them. It had to be someone who existed!
Besides, he was looking for Minato just now.
He couldn't immediately turn into looking for someone else.
He miscalculated!
He never expected a naughty child would bring Minato here!
"Aoba, I heard that you were looking for me all over the street. Did something happen?"
Minato enthusiastically walked towards Aoba. The opening speech made Aoba feel even more embarrassed.
"No... no... let's talk somewhere else!"
Just as Aoba was about to say that it was nothing, he suddenly felt that it was even more inappropriate. He could only take the initiative to change the topic and quickly walk towards Minato, pulling Minato's elbow and dragging him away.
"Why didn't you pat his head?"
All of a sudden.
Someone's voice sounded from the crowd.
His tone was full of doubt.
"Yeah! Why aren't you doing it?"
"Didn't you take a good shot just now?"
"I seriously suspect that you are deliberately looking for trouble!"
"Can't you recognize yellow hair and black hair?"
"Kid, don't let me see you again!"
"..."
Voices of protest erupted from the crowd. These people had all been slapped in the head by Aoba. Now, when they saw the real Minato with yellow hair, their defenses were slightly broken.
Aoba lowered his head and didn't speak. He just quickly pulled Minato and ran.
This place was too dangerous for them to stay for long!
Pa!
Right at this moment, Aoba felt his head being slapped.
The person who patted his head was Minato.
"What are they talking about? Is it like that?"
Minato asked, puzzled.
"About the same..."
Aoba said casually.
"Then why didn't you pat me?"
Minato continued to ask.
"Didn't I already recognize you?"
Aoba smiled awkwardly.
"It doesn't matter if you recognize!"
Minato turned his head slightly and said with a smile, "If you just pat me, they won't be angry."
"No, no, absolutely not."
Aoba shook his head repeatedly and refused without hesitation.
"Why?"
Minato was suddenly curious.
"It's not time yet."
Aoba pulled Minato hard and left the chaotic crowd. The surrounding atmosphere suddenly became much quieter.
"When will it be?"
Minato obviously did not intend to let this matter pass and continued to ask.
"Minato, how about this. When you become the 4th Hokage, I will personally come and touch your head!"
Aoba said with a serious face. He kept telling himself in his heart that he could not use the wrong method to admit mistakes again. This method was not suitable, and he almost overturned the car.
"Then why did you pat their head when you mistook them for me?" Minato was still puzzled.
"Shh!"
Aoba raised his right index finger and placed it before his lips, making a gesture of silence.
The moment this posture appeared.
Minato's curiosity was immediately piqued to the extreme.
"Minato."
"Listen to my explanation."
"I'm on a secret mission."
"I'm looking for spies in the village."
"So I'm just using your name as a cover for my mistake."
"Do you really think I'm stupid?"
"How can I mistake your yellow hair to such an exaggerated extent?"
Aoba quickly used these words to make things clear. Fortunately, he had a haft-year foundation of reading memories in the Konohagakure Intelligence Division. Through various methods of lying and making up lies, he learned some ideas.
"So that's how it is..."
Minato was suddenly enlightened. He was still confused just now, and it wasn't like he hadn't seen Aoba for many years. How could he possibly admit his mistakes everywhere? He even thought that there was something wrong with Aoba's body and that it was connected to his head, resulting in a problem with his vision and brain.
"So..."
"Why are you looking for me?"
"Wrong!"
"Should I say that you are not looking for me at all?"
Minato was stunned for a moment, and a helpless look flashed through his blue eyes.
The clown was actually me!
The curiosity that had just emerged from Minato instantly collapsed.
"Thank you for helping me apply for a holiday."
Aoba said with a serious face. Since he had already met Minato, he still had to thank him.
Although he did not know the details of his vacation application, he believed that Minato must have said it. Otherwise, Eaton would not have given him such a long vacation so easily.
"You are too polite."
A sunny smile appeared on Minato's face, but it suddenly disappeared halfway.
"If you didn't mention the holiday, I would have forgotten!"
"Didn't we agree for you to have a good rest during the holiday?"
"Why did you come out on a mission?"
"Can't we let other people do this kind of task?"
"What the hell is going on with you in Konohagakure Intelligence Division?"
"Can't they let people rest?"
Minato's face showed dissatisfaction. When he applied for leave with the Third Hokage, he specifically emphasized letting Aoba have a good rest. Why was it that he had to carry out a secret mission during the holiday now? Could he still rest?
"Shh!"
Aoba once again made a silencing gesture. He moved a little closer to Minato and whispered, "Secret mission. This is a secret mission."
"Secret mission is also not good!"
There was a deep dissatisfaction on Minato's face. He stared at Aoba helplessly and said, "I know that you love the village deeply, but you have to take care of yourself, and it is not a good thing for you to carry out a mission like this."
"I know, I know..."
Aoba could feel that Minato was really concerned about him.
"Aoba, I know many things have happened in the past few days. I hope you don't care about these things. Rest well and let yourself relax for a while. Don't be so stubborn and listen to my advice."
Minato grabbed Aoba's shoulders with both hands and said in a tough tone.
"Okay... okay..."
Aoba nodded, and he did not have any mission at all. Moreover, he knew that Minato had already reached this emotional point, and he still wanted to maintain this friendship with Minato.
Naturally, he would not go against Minato's intentions.
"That's more like it!"
When Minato saw Aoba agree, a sunny smile appeared on his face again.
"I don't have a mission today."
"You just happen to be on vacation."
"Let's go eat in Ramen Ichiraku!"
"Right."
"It's your treat!"
Minato suddenly changed back to his child-like appearance, completely ignoring Aoba's opinion, and directly strode towards Ramen Ichiraku.
