Chapter 44 - Locked Or Exiled!

The first thing to do now was to think of a way to reduce the impact!

This was the consensus of many ninjas. After all, the prisoner had been caught, and there was no possibility of escaping. It would be easy to deal with him later.

So they were all busy explaining to the villagers, trying to persuade them to leave here.

At the same time, there were also people who came to the Fire Shadow Rock statue with the red cloth they had taken off earlier, covering the area next to Yondaime's eyes. At the same time, they also covered the 'fifth generationHokage'that made people's eyes spit fire!

Presumably, before completely wiping out that thing, this cloth would not be taken off.

As for Yamashita, the old man, and the craftsmen, they were stunned and stared at Aoba who had done all this!

Especially Yamashita, the old man!

His mood was complicated and sour, it was simply indescribable!

He never thought that the problem would not be the statue of Yondaime, but the 'empty wall' next to it!

Although Aoba had told him before that he would personally carve his head on it, he had regarded it as the dream of a child at that time. He only smiled and did not take it to heart. But who would have thought that not only did this little bastard take it seriously? He actually did it!

Moreover, it had been secretly completed right under their noses!

It was a pity that these people had searched for so many days, yet they had not discovered anything. They had simply lost all face.

And the craftman who had also felt vexed was also the one who had discovered something strange earlier.

It turned out that the rock wall moving was real. He was not seeing things!

.....

At the same time, the major accident that happened here was almost immediately conveyed to Minato.

"What? Someone carved his own portrait on the side and left behind such a sentence? Are you sure?"

Even with Minato's good upbringing, he was stunned at this time, revealing a look of disbelief.

"Yes, but Mikawa Jonin has already caught the criminal, and now others are doing their best to appease the villagers to reduce the negative effects of this incident."

"Shinomiya Aoba... Why is it him again?"

Minato felt a headache coming on at this moment, and even doubted if this name was born to offend him!

From the day he took over as the Hokage, this little bastard gave him a 'show of strength', and then provoked Uchiha. After that, he gave him the medicinal bath formula to redeem a little impression, but now...

"Kakashi, what do you think I should do with him?"

At this time, standing in front of Minato, Kakashi, who was wearing Anbu's mask, said without hesitation, "Committing destruction on the Fireshadow Rock without permission is a serious crime. It is recommended to be directly locked up or exiled."

Kakashi's attitude was very clear, and that was severe punishment!

As for the age of the other party, it was not within his consideration.

Offending the Hokage, just this one, he would never forgive!

When Minato heard this answer, he was no exception. First, it was White Fang's death, then it was the death of Obito and Rin. This series of attacks completely changed Kakashi into another person. He became even more aloof and indifferent, even more merciless. He placed the Ninja Law and the completion of the mission in top position.

It was also to let Kakashi walk out of the shock that Minato arranged for him to enter Anbu and be transferred to his side as a right-hand man, hoping that he could forget this pain.

However, looking at it now, everything was too rushed. Although Kakashi, who entered Anbu's life, had changed a little, the indifference that was unapproachable was still too strong.

"Isn't this punishment too harsh? After all, it is just a child's prank."

"You were responsible for re-investigating his past experiences. You should know that this kind of child who suffered a sudden blow will do many things out of line after coming to a strange environment, but in essence, it is just to seek attention and care to cover up."

"In addition, I think the impact of this matter may not be so bad. The last matter was solved very well, and the villagers did not take it to heart. Instead, there were many good children who shouted to be Hokage."

"Since the beginning of the war, the village has not been so energetic for a long time."

As expected, Minato did not seem to treat this matter as a serious situation. Moreover, the punishment of imprisonment and exile was indeed too cruel for a child who was not yet in school.

As his sensei and the Hokage, Minato had said so. So, what else could Kakashi do? He could only remain silent.

However, how to punish Aoba and appease the anger of the villagers was also a big problem. It was not good to be light or heavy. Therefore, Minato had a headache and could only put it aside first.

"Go, bring the person back. I will deal with this matter myself."

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

....

It didn't take long for the dark-faced Mikawa to carry the nervous Aoba into the Hokage office.

"Hokage-sama, the criminal has been brought here. In addition, please punish me. I have failed to live up to the trust of Sandaime-sama and you, which is why he made such big trouble. I have to take the main responsibility in this matter."

As soon as he entered, Mikawa left Aoba behind and took over half of the responsibility with a serious expression.

Although he was so angry that his heart couldn't stand it, he wouldn't really sit idly by because of his responsibility.

This was a real man!

Meanwhile, Aoba firmly said, "Hokage-sama, the whole thing is my fault. It has nothing to do with Mikawa. In the end, Mikawa tried to stop me. He tried his best."

Even if he could not be a good person, he would not implicate a person who truly cared about him because of him. This was his bottom line.

So, it was fine to plead for him, but it was fine to take the initiative to take responsibility.

In addition, he was confident that his life would not be in danger. As long as his little life could be saved, then this suicide mission was a success!

However, he did not know that his sentence "Mikawa has already tried his best" made Mikawa's face even darker, and he was on the verge of choking him to death at any time!

'You also know that I tried my best to stop you! You know that you will cause a disaster, why do you still do this!' Mikawa roared in his heart!

Moreover, the words 'you have tried your best' were really too hurtful, making him even more depressed.

On the contrary, Minato looked at the two of them with an interesting expression. He really did not take Aoba's disaster seriously. In fact, in his opinion, it was not a big deal. It was not like destroying the statues of the past Hokage.
