When Sarutobi arrived with an anxious and gloomy face, the second exam had already ended early.
"Shinomiya Aoba! Where is he? Get this bastard to come and see me immediately!"
"Hokage-sama, over there."
Sarutobi looked over and found that Aoba was lying on a chair with a face full of doubt.
It was only when Sarutobi's wrinkled old face was right in front of his eyes that he was startled. He almost punched out and said, "Hey, what kind of monster are you?"
"Lord Sarutobi, why are you here? Oh, are you worried about the results of the exam? Don't worry, I'm done!"
"All done?"
Sarutobi turned pale with fright, his tone even becoming higher.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Seeing Sarutobi so 'surprised', Aoba was secretly happy in his heart. At the same time, he also put on a 'humble' expression that said, "It's not worth making a fuss about. Just a few words of praise is enough."
"Eh? Lord Sarutobi, what are you doing forming seals?"
"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!"
Boom!
"Old man, are you crazy"
Activating all of his defensive abilities, Aoba, who had fled out of the sea of flames in a sorry state, began to curse angrily!
What answered him was....
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
"Fuck!"
It seemed like the old man had either lost his mind or had dementia!
Aoba cursed in his heart as he ran outside in a panic.
Not only was he dumbfounded, but everyone present was also dumbfounded. Then, they scattered in all directions in a panic to escape.
All that was left was a smell, a sorry figure, and a very weak body. The examinees who had passed the second exam looked at this scene with a 'calm' expression.
Compared to the hell they had experienced before, wasn't it just the Hokage personally releasing a few Fire Release Ninjutsu to chase after others? What was there to be surprised about?
At this time, the one who stood in the middle was the husky maiden who was holding a golden bell tightly in her hand. She had yet to figure out the situation and had a blank expression on her face.
"Old man, that's enough! If you continue to fight, I'm going to fight back!"
"Hehe!"
"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"
"Fuck, are you serious I will remember this grudge. Damn old man, just you wait!"
Aoba saw that Sarutobi even used more ninjutsu, so he could only say two harsh words and then escape.
He was very suspicious whether his undercover identity was exposed, so that Sarutobi was so crazy to chase him!
But thinking carefully, he felt that it was unlikely, because once his undercover identity was exposed, what awaited him should be Anbu, not Sarutobi himself.
Or was it that his importance was almost the same as Orochimaru's?
He really couldn't figure it out!
Aoba slipped away, ran away quickly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After that, Sarutobi snorted and stopped.
I really can't accept being old. I just released a few ninjutsu, and I actually feel a bit tired.
Sarutobi rubbed his old waist, and then called back all the people who ran away. With a tangled face, he gnashed his teeth and wanted to kill someone directly. He asked, "Is it really over? All eliminated?"
"The end is indeed over in advance, but... what does it mean by all eliminated?"
Sarutobi was stunned for a moment. Was there an unexpected surprise?
"Someone passed? How many people passed?" He asked impatiently.
The examiner who was asked had to speak truthfully, "A total of 14 people passed, reaching a 20 pass rate. Among them, there are 7 Konoha, 3 Suna, 2 Kiri and 2 Komu."
"So many people passed?"
After experiencing great sorrow and joy, Sarutobi immediately blurted out. Then, under the strange gazes of the surrounding people, he raised his hand and coughed twice.
Then, at this moment, the man whispered, "Actually, there weren't that many people who could pass. However, the four palace officials felt that if this continued, all the people would be eliminated. So they deliberately let the examinees snatch his golden bell and directly ended the exam ahead of time."
After listening to the whole story, Sarutobi realized that he had misunderstood that stinky brat!
This made him very embarrassed, especially when he had just kissed in front of so many people.
Of course, this was not the reason that the stinky brat could scold him.
Sarutobi immediately cast a death gaze at the anxious assistant who had provided the wrong information.
If not for this guy crying so sadly and swearing that Aoba was going to eliminate all the candidates, he wouldn't have come to a conclusion without even asking!
So to sum it up, the Hokage was right, it was this bastard's fault!
"What else do you have to say?"
"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama. I was wrong. It was all a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding? Since it is a misunderstanding, then you should go to the four palaces and ask for forgiveness. No matter what method you use, I will see him in the office tomorrow morning. If he doesn't want to come, you can clean the public toilet in the next year."
After Sarutobi said this, he immediately turned around and left with his hands behind his back.
As a superior, it would be easy to throw the blame to others.
Who is that? The deputy cried out in grievance. It was fine if he was not worthy of his name, but now he had to take the blame. The heavens were really unfair!
Swish!
Boom!
Lightning suddenly flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky, scaring him to hurriedly cover his mouth.
Then the heavy rain fell.
...
Aoba was still cursing on the way home, clearly not happy.
Fortunately, after returning home, Karin did not continue to anger him and prepared a sumptuous dinner in advance.
However, the good mood did not last long. Soon, a drenched chicken came to the door and hesitantly explained the matter.
Aoba immediately revealed a sneer of realization, "In other words, after I left, it was you who went to the Hokage to sue me?"
Who is that? The deputy immediately began to apologize, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood Jonin Aoba. Please forgive me."
"Forgive you? That's fine, then let's settle the bill."
When the deputy heard this, he immediately took out an exquisite little abacus from his body. He didn't know why he had to carry this thing with him.
"Medical fees, mental damage compensation, reputation damage compensation, and work cost. It's a total of 1.78 million, 3.4 million. If the change is erased, it will be 1.8 million. Thank you for your patronage"
After calculating the small abacus, the deputy immediately confidently pushed up his glasses.
Aoba couldn't help but look at him with admiration, sighing that his education was really good.
On the other hand, the deputy was confused. How did he pay 1.78 million or even 3.4 million? Why did he have to pay more money after removing the zero?
However, under the threatening gaze of someone, he felt that if he dared to raise an objection or say no, he would have to sit in a wheelchair and clean up the toilet in the future.
He felt wronged and wanted to cry.
"Hold it back!" Aoba shouted.
