Although the ninja school sounded very high and mighty, it was actually just teaching some basic knowledge. After all, Sensei who came to teach was generally only Gennin.
Sensei, who was in charge of Aoba and Itachi's class, also did not have anything special, whether it was appearance or level.
In fact, it was normal to think about it. Ninjas with great prospects naturally would not come to teach a group of brats, talking about chakra cultivation, three body techniques, and other basic things.
Moreover, the real growth stage of a ninja was actually the period when they became a Genin after graduation and formed teams to do missions.
But it did not mean that learning in school was not important. For most people, it was very necessary to lay a good foundation in the school.
However, the things that Sensei talked about on the stage were really too boring for Itachi and Aoba at this moment.
Especially that guy Itachi. He was obviously not interested at all, but he still pretended to listen seriously. But in fact, Aoba had long discovered that this guy was not listening at all, but cultivating in horse stance...
It was no wonder that Itachi, who did not like to show off in the original work, was so anxious to graduate. He probably felt that it was a waste of time and... annoying.
In this regard, Aoba had the same opinion.
With the dog system as a golden finger, he did not need to think to know that it was impossible to walk the path of a proper ninja in the future.
Therefore, he was not very interested in the things taught in the school.
If he had the time, he might as well have another fight with Itachi!
In addition, although he could stay in the school for at least six years, for Aoba, who had changed a lot, it was completely meaningless.
It was not easy to become a Hokage!
Not only did he need to make a great reputation, but he also needed to have a matching strength and make enough contributions!
None of these three could be missing!
Only with these three qualifications would he be able to obtain an admission ticket to the position of Hokage.
That's right, it was just an admission ticket. Whether he could become a Hokage required the support of the power behind him.
The reason why Minato, who came from a civilian background, could ignore the objections of the higher-ups and become Yondaime's Hokage was because of Sarutobi's support!
In addition, Minato was also a disciple of a Sannin, Jiraiya. So, he barely managed to become the Hokage. Otherwise, he would not be able to pass the level of Konoha's higher-ups. No matter how much contribution he made, no matter how great his reputation was, it would be useless!
Did he really think that anyone could sit in the position of Hokage?
It was just a lie to a child.
Therefore, Aoba was prepared to graduate from the Ninja School as soon as possible and strive to break a record with Itachi, and then increase his reputation as a 'genius'.
Then, he would honestly do more tasks, paying off his debts while making his own calendar look better.
If not, after Akatsuki developed, he could still use Akatsuki's intelligence and power to furiously farm contribution points!
But even if he did this, it was still far from enough. His biggest problem now was actually his identity.
If a civilian wanted to become a Hokage, it was already hell-level difficulty, but what about him?
A war orphan brought back from the outside!
Just the last four words were enough to explain everything!
For Konoha, he could not be considered the most trustworthy 'people on Konoha's side'.
It was not a problem for him to be Jonin, and it was even a small matter for him to enter Anbu, but to become a Hokage?
It was estimated that even Sarutobi would mutter and would not agree!
After all, not everyone had the heart of Minato.
And what was even more coincidental was that the biggest problem of holding him back from becoming the Hokage was also the boulder in front of Itachi!
Uchiha!
Just these three words were enough!
Even if Itachi single-handedly destroyed the other four great countries, it was estimated that Konoha would not have the right to make the decision.
At that time, Senju Hashirama wanted to give Shoudai Hokage to Madara, but he was stopped. It could be seen how great the resistance was!
One day, if he and Itachi were to be put together and must choose a person to be the Hokage, Aoba believed that his chance was even greater than Itachi!
This was the cruel reality.
At the same time, it also confirmed how awkward Uchiha was in Konoha's position!
However, if he and Itachi joined hands after they grew up, maybe he could really give it a try.
....
As soon as it was lunchtime, Itachi was bored and went over just like that. When Itachi was resting, Aoba was just about to rub Itachi's lunchbox with a shy face.
As a result, a female student who did not deserve to be named ran over with a red face and then invited Itachi to enjoy the lunchbox together.
The sinful hand was about to reach Itachi's lunchbox, and Aoba immediately gave him a crazy look, making Itachi agree.
Because in this way, he could enjoy Itachi's lunchbox alone.
There was no other way, Aoba was alone at home, and since no one made him a lunchbox, he was too lazy to waste his energy on such things.
The remaining two rice balls from last night had been wiped out by him on the way to the ninja school.
Therefore, Aoba thought very well. Itachi went to eat the soft rice of a female classmate, and then he ate Itachi's soft... bah! It was him who helped to save food, so as not to waste it.
However, under his expectant gaze, Itachi refused in a very ambiguous way, "Sorry, I am used to eating lunch alone."
After saying that, he directly took the lunchbox and went out, looking like he was going to find a quiet place to eat slowly.
Of course, before he left, he did not forget to send a look to Aoba. The meaning of that gaze was probably saying, "If you want to eat, come over..."
Aoba, who had grabbed empty air, had a disappointed look on his face. However, compared to the female student who was ruthlessly rejected by Itachi, he felt that he was not that miserable.
At this time, the female student No. 1, who was holding back her tears, whispered again, "Aoba, do you... want to eat?"
Aoba subconsciously wanted to nod. Although he had no interest or thoughts about this young girl, food was innocent!
With such a big lunchbox, he knew that the little girl in front of him could not eat this much.
'Instead of throwing it away, it would be better to let me bear this sin.'
'No wonder the fortune-teller always said that my stomach was not good and was suitable to eat soft rice every time he saw me before I transmigrated... I originally thought that the old blind man was making fun of me, but now it seems that I have wrongly blamed him.'
Aoba seemed to have convinced himself, and he reached out his evil hand again uncontrollably. However, just as he was about to take the lunchbox, a figure suddenly blocked in front of him, and it was none other than Itachi who had returned!
"Come out with me for a while."
After leaving this sentence, before Aoba could react, Itachi, that bastard, grabbed him out.
Seeing the tempting bento in the girl's hand fly away, Aoba immediately felt bad all over!
'You don't want to eat soft rice yourself, why don't you let me try!'
'I have never eaten a soft rice before in my life!'
'Gan!'
Aoba wanted to cry but had no tears.
