When Aoba returned to Konoha with the letter of appointment from the Land of Fire, the entire Konoha was in an uproar!
Even the people who had imagined and fantasized about it were at a loss and couldn't believe it!
The 5th Hokage of Konoha actually chose Shinomiya Aoba who was only 15 years old!
This was definitely the first time in the whole world!
Maybe those small villages had similar situations in the war, but how could they compare to Konoha of the five big villages?
What this appointment meant was something that outsiders couldn't imagine even if they racked their brains.
Of course, there were people who cheered, and naturally there were people who questioned it.
No matter how dazzling the achievements of Aoba in the Ninja Era were, whether he could be the Hokage and lead Konoha to a brighter future, it would still be a question.
After all, the younger one was, the easier it was to be looked down upon. This kind of prejudice was not something that could be easily explained with just a few words.
But soon after, there was a second message.
Jiraya-san took the initiative to apply to be the Hokage, to cooperate with the other two consultants and two elders to help the 5th Hokage handle all the affairs.
This time, the voice of doubt became much smaller.
Even if Aoba really lacked experience as the Hokage, with the help of Jiraya and the others, was this still a problem?
Moreover, it was said that Jiraya-san took the initiative to withdraw from the competition. Did this mean that Jiraya -an approved of Aoba's ability, so he decided to escort him?
Otherwise, why would Jiraya not let him go and instead become the Hokage?
This way, even those supporters of him couldn't say anything, because he was the one who gave up.
After some people analyzed it, they found that perhaps this decision was the most perfect plan.
To have the strength and reputation of Aoba to be the Hokage, there was really nothing to be picky about other than age.
And after Jiraya chose to be the Hokage, the last bit of worry disappeared.
It also made the age disadvantage of Aoba to become a real advantage!
It was hard to imagine what it would be like for their 5th Hokage to reach his peak in ten years!
Just thinking about it made them excited!
Objection?
Was there a need to object?
Could it be that he could find a more suitable candidate to be the Hokage?
Moreover, even if he opposed it now, it would be useless, because the letter of appointment had already been issued. Just one month later, the Hokage inauguration ceremony would be over, and Aoba would truly become the 5th Hokage of Konoha!
Do you know what the most awesome thing is?
That is to turn all of the bull that was blown away into reality!
Who would have thought that 8 years ago, in front of countless people, he would shout at the 4th Hokage ceremony, "I will become the 5th Hokage!" The children would be completely realized by the laughter of the crowd.
Such an unreal 'reality' really made people sigh and find it hard to believe.
However, no matter what was said, Konoha became lively again.
......
"You don't have to be so anxious, do you?"
"What do you know? Cut the crap, raise your head and stick out your chest." The old man at the foot of the mountain had a very hot temper as he scolded the 5th Hokage, and then he kept measuring the data of his upper body.
Looking at the old man's excited appearance, the 5th Hokage Aoba decided not to lower himself to his level.
Originally, the carving of the Hokage was not urgent, and it was the same slowly.
However, when he heard that the brat who had almost become his disciple and learned carving from him had actually become a fire actress, the old man who had originally chosen to retire immediately rushed over to start work.
Who dared to fight with him, who would he be anxious with!
It was estimated that when Aoba learned carving from him, the old man could brag to others for a lifetime.
"It's a pity. If you were willing to worship me as your master, maybe you could really carve your own head on the Hokage Rock."
Perhaps recalling the past, the old man at the foot of the mountain suddenly laughed.
"Forget it, you know, I don't have the talent of this side. And even if I really want to do it myself, you can't agree."
The old man at the foot of the mountain immediately began to blow his beard and stare, "With your skills, don't take it out to embarrass yourself!"
"Do you know what my first reaction was when you secretly carved your own head on the Hokage Rock?"
"Disgrace! It is simply a disgrace!"
"Such an ugly thing, you want to show it to everyone? At that time, I really wanted to run over and strangle you to death!"
Speaking of the embarrassing things from before, Aoba was somewhat embarrassed.
However, the old man was really getting more and more energetic as he lived. It had already been so long, yet he still remembered so clearly. More importantly, his body was excellent, and he could even drink two small mouthfuls of wine when he had nothing to do.
Otherwise, even if the old man insisted on coming out of the mountain, he would not be at ease.
Soon, after the data was confirmed, the old man at the foot of the mountain picked up the sketch and squeezed it under his arm before leaving in a hurry.
When he left, he did not forget to say a few more words to someone.
"One month later, when the ceremony begins, wipe your eyes clean for me to see. What? What the fuck, it's called, art! Let's go!"
The old man's temper was really too hot, making Aoba, the pseudo-flame, feel no sense of accomplishment at all.
I am the Hokage, can you give me some face and stop cursing?
However, after the old man left, Aoba immediately sighed.
Alright, it could be considered a dream.
He just didn't know if the next Hokage would send someone to smash his head on the first day of his appointment.
When he thought of this, he lit a cigar for himself and looked out the window at the scenery. For a moment, his eyes were a bit blurred.
Three years.... In the end, he was still undercover and became a Hokage.
This was a bit ironic!
What made him even more uneasy was that the level of the death-seeking mission finally made a move, and it became even more 'brutal'.
At the same time that he could not adapt to it, he seriously suspected that he would probably spend the rest of his life being hunted down.
He was even more uncertain if he would still be willing to take another one after he finished this death-seeking mission that made people extremely speechless but could not help it.
"System, system, sooner or later, I will be tricked to death by you!"
"If that day really comes, we will self-destruct together. We can be considered companions on the road to the Yellow Springs."
After smiling bitterly, Aoba's eyes gradually became firm.
Before the violent storm came, he still needed to make some preparations.
