In the Hokage's office, Minato closed his eyes alone. No one knew what he was thinking about.
After a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes and called for his assistant.
"Inform the two consultants and Danzo to have a meeting in an hour. Also, send a small team of Anbu's people to investigate the destruction of the Orange Village. Do not let any doubts go."
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
After the assistant left, Minato turned around and looked out of the window. He muttered to himself, "I hope I was too worried."
Obviously, the sudden appearance of the medicinal bath formula had aroused his suspicion.
Although he was not a suspicious person, for the sake of the safety of the village, he still had to be more cautious.
...…
On the other side, after leaving the Hokage building, Aoba was leisurely strolling around the village after bidding farewell to Mikawa.
Obviously, today's harvest made him in a good mood.
As he walked, he passed through the busy streets and unknowingly arrived near the Hokage Rock. He raised his head to look at the huge and lifelike statues of the past Hokage, as well as the statue of Yondaime, which had just been completed two days ago. He could not help but feel a little strange.
This was Konoha's iconic building, and at the same time, it was also spiritual sustenance.
For the people in the village, it seemed that as long as they raised their heads and looked at this place, they would have great motivation.
Although he was not the real Konoha, and even came here with other purposes, every time he stood below, he would sigh repeatedly.
If not for the opening of hell and the addition of the dog system to cheat him, perhaps one day, he could also carve his appearance on it for future generations to admire!
Just thinking about it made him feel very excited
It was unknown if it were because it felt his mood at this moment, but the dog system that would occasionally fake corpses would once again run out to add to the chaos!
Ding!

'F*CK'
'I was f*cking daydreaming!'
Aoba never thought that he was just a little envious, and the dog system actually issued him such a death-seeking task!
It was a great crime to secretly smear carving on the Hokage Rock!
Although Naruto was fine in the original work, it was because he was the son of the dead Yondaime! That was because Sarutobi protected him!
Otherwise, how could the punishment be so light, just wiping his own 'work' clean?
It was simply a joke!
If it were for someone else, try it!
You can even wear it at the bottom of the prison!
And this was not the most troublesome thing for Aoba. After all, he had just offered the medicinal bath formula and had made a great contribution to the village. In addition, he was young. With Minato's character, he would definitely be gentle. He would just treat it as a child's prank. The least he could do would be released in a few days.
But the most serious problem was... carving!
How was he going to carve his appearance in front of everyone?
Even if he only carved one 1:1, it would be impossible for him!
Every day, the village patrol would patrol the Hokage Rock. After all, this was Konoha's landmark building, and they could not afford to lose it.
If it were for just a painting, maybe he could still do it…, but if it were for carved... it would be taken away in minutes!
What was even worse was that this time, the dog system actually increased the mission time limit
He needed to secretly hide from everyone on the Hokage Rock in seven days, carve his appearance on it, and then write the pure and greasy declaration, and also attract at least a hundred people to watch. Seeing this scene...
"I'm probably crazy!"
After feeling the difficulty of this mission, Aoba scratched his head in frustration!
What exactly should he do?
Just as he was about to vomit blood in frustration, a familiar voice sounded from behind him. "Isn't this Little Aoba? Why, are you looking for work again? You came too late. Lord Yondaime's sculpture has already been carved. Just wait for the last few days to stabilize it. If you want to find work, you came to the wrong place."
An old man dressed in plain clothes, carrying a toolbox in his hand, greeted Aoba with a smile.
"Grandpa Yamashita? I'm not here to look for work. I just happened to pass by here. Hehe, I'm just passing by..." Aoba replied with a bit of embarrassment.
And this Grandpa Yamashita was actually the supervisor of the craftsman who allowed him to clean up the gravel here, so he was very respectful to this kind and warm grandpa.
However, his mind was in a mess right now, and his mind was filled with thoughts of how to steal a beam and cross the sea, so he seemed a little absent-minded.
"Since it's just passing by, then that's good. What do you think of the completion of Yondaime's statue? Don't say beautiful words, speak truthfully." Grandpa Yamashita was like a child who had received a new toy, asking with a little flaunting.
What else could Aoba say? Of course, he gave a thumbs-up and praised with all his might, "It's perfect! Great! No matter if it's the layout or some details, it's impeccable. It's simply a work of art!"
"Aiya, you're saying beautiful words to make this old man happy again. Alright, it's time for me to go back. Remember to come and see an old man like me when you have time. I don't dare to say anything else. One more pair of chopsticks, and it's no problem for me to introduce you to a part-time job that can earn living expenses."
"Yes, I will remember. Grandpa Yamashita, if I have time, I will definitely go."
Looking at the back of the old man who left in a hurry, Aoba could not help but laugh. He clearly loved to hear others praise his skills and his works, but he always pretended not to care. He deliberately put on a straight face but could not hide the satisfaction and comfort in his eyes at all. What an awkward old man!
But combined with what the old man Yamashita said just now, he could not help but feel a little more urgent.
Perhaps there was not even seven days left for him...
This was because when the finishing work ended, the ropes hanging on the Hokage Rock would all be removed.
Therefore, he had to make the best use of this time to complete the task before the finishing work was completed!
In addition, he had some inspiration on how to complete this seemingly impossible task.
It seemed that Yamashita still had to go!
