Crash...
As if seeing the plague source, the people near Aoba immediately retreated in panic, afraid that they would be splashed with blood!
A vacuum zone suddenly appeared in the originally crowded area, and in the center stood a young figure.
To be honest, being stared at by so many Jonin and the two Hokage, it would be a lie to say that he did not panic!
However, there was no turning back arrow when he drew the bow. There was still a chance of survival if he did not do it. If he did not do it, he would definitely die.
For the sake of his own life, he could only walk on the edge of death and crazily test!
Therefore, he forced himself to calm down and looked fearlessly at Sandaime and Yondaime who were high up in the sky.
"Where did this child come from? Someone come, get him..."
"Wait a minute!"
With a whoosh, Minato appeared in front of Aoba as if he had teleported and stopped Jonin, who was about to attack.
Then, Minato revealed a warm smile and asked gently, "Can you tell me your name?"
"Shinomiya Aoba."
"Aoba? What a nice name. Can you tell me why you are against it?"
Aoba took a deep breath. He knew that he had made the right bet, and next was the time to test his acting skills!
He summoned his courage and shouted, "Because I am the one who will become the Hokage!"
Silence!
A deathly silence!
A strange atmosphere suddenly filled the air!
"Pfft! Sorry, I really couldn't hold it in."
"Hahaha..."
"Interesting little brat!"
"I suddenly thought of that brat from my family. Every day, he would shout loudly that he will become the Hokage, haha."
"To dare to say it on such an occasion, just this courage is amazing. This brat is really a talent!"
"That's right, that's right, I'm starting to like him."
....
The originally tense atmosphere suddenly changed into a ridiculing conference. It became relaxed and cheerful. Countless people were laughing back and forth because of a certain little brat's courageous declaration. Some were purely mocking, some were friendly jokes, and most of them were just jokes made by children.
After all, there were too many children who were clamoring to become the Hokage, but this little brat was the first one who had the courage to shout out in front of so many people!
Even Minato, who personally ran down, revealed an expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry. In his heart, he thought that if he had a child in the future, he could not be like this. It was too shameful. ( —oh, little did Minato know. I am sorry, Minato, but uhhh- your son would be… quite, ehh…)
"Well, I believe that you will definitely become the Hokage in the future and continue to protect Konoha. But not now, you are still too young." Minato said helplessly as he rubbed Aoba's head.
When Aoba heard the notification of the completion of the dog system mission, he finally felt relieved. Therefore, he immediately took advantage of this step and said reluctantly, "Alright, I won't fight with you for now. When I grow up, you must keep the position of the fifth-Hokage for me."
When Aoba's tender words came out again, the laughter in the crowd became louder.
A five-year-old kid wanted to compete with the legendary Yellow Flash for the position of Hokage, and he even reserved a seat for the 5th generation. Was there anything more funny than this?
Perhaps in less than a day, the name Shinomiya Aoba was going to be famous!
And Aoba himself also had a bitterness that he could not say. If he did not act cute and pretend to be tender, his little life would be dead.
So, no matter how humiliating it was, he had to stay strong and live on with tears.
"Good, then let's make an agreement, the future 5th Hokage."
Looking at the little finger that Minato stretched out, a trace of black lines flashed across Aoba's forehead, but he still pretended to be happy.
"Of course, Yondaime."
After ending this small episode, Minato returned to the top of the Hokage building in a flash, ready to continue the unfinished ceremony.
However, there were still many people who kept looking at Aoba. No one knew what they were thinking in their hearts.
...
From beginning to end, Sarutobi and Hiruzen waited calmly. They were probably weighing the impact of this farce and what effect it would have on Minato's reputation.
However, from the looks of it, Minato's method of handling it was very satisfactory, and the result seemed acceptable.
After this matter spread, perhaps more people would have a more intuitive understanding of the image of Minato's relatives.
But even so...
'Mikawa!'
'I will wait for you to give me an explanation!'
After secretly staring at Mikawa who was sweating in the crowd, Sarutobi put on a smile again, and then handed the bamboo hat representing the Hokage to Minato.
This time, there was naturally no objection. Everything went smoothly.
....
When Minato began to express his opinion, Aoba, who was restless, finally could not help but quietly run away.
Seeing him leave, Mikawa gritted his teeth and quietly left.
Although this was somewhat impolite to the Hokage-sama, he could not help but teach that little devil a lesson!
In the end, that meaningful glance from Lord Sarutobi really made him feel a chill all over his body! He never thought that on the first day he was forced to become the other side's guardian, that bastard brat would make such a big mess for him!
If not for Lord Minato being broad-minded and not lowering himself to the same level as a child, he, this special Jonin, would probably be at the end of his life.
"If I don't beat your sh*t out today, I, this Jonin, will quit and go back to my hometown to the farm!"
After fiercely swearing in his heart, Mikawa chased after the direction that Aoba left and disappeared with a whoosh.
......
On the other side, Aoba, who avoided the crowd and entered a dumpling shop, began to count the harvest this time.
"This young master has paid such a great price. I hope you can give me some strength in return!"
Rubbing his hands, he immediately opened the bronze treasure chest reward.
[You have obtained: The Navy Training Body Technique - Basic chapter. ]
In an instant, many postures... ah, ah, it was the knowledge that entered his mind. It also made him immediately understand what this [Navy Training Body Technique - Basic chapter]was.
He really had a pillow when he was sleepy!
He was just worrying about how to strengthen his physical strength. This [Navy Training Body Technique - Basic chapter]just made up for his lack in this aspect.
As long as he followed the scientific method here, his body would be able to improve rapidly. Perhaps this reward was not the best in the bronze treasure chest, but it was the most suitable for him.
Then he checked the beginner skill card. It was also a good thing to be used to upgrade skills.
He had been wondering how to upgrade those Level 0 abilities a long time ago, and now he finally knew.
It seemed that if he wanted to become stronger quickly, he had to be even crazier and do more suicidal missions!
Aoba: *crying*
