Whoosh.
Like seeing a plague source, people near Aoha immediately retreated in panic, afraid they'd be splattered with blood!
The originally crowded area suddenly developed a vacuum zone, with a small figure standing at the centre.
Honestly, being stared at so intently by so many jonin, including two generations of Hokage, saying he wasn't panicking would be a damn lie!
But the arrows shot couldn't return. Doing the mission offered a thread of survival. Not doing it definitely meant certain death with no escape.
For his own life's sake, he could only walk the edge of death-courting, crazily testing boundaries!
So he forced himself to calm down, fearlessly looking toward the Third and Fourth on high.
"What brat is spouting nonsense! Someone, take him..."
"Wait!"
Whoosh! Like teleportation, Minato directly appeared before Aoha and stopped the jonin preparing to act.
Then, Minato showed a warm smile like sunshine, gently asking, "Can you tell me your name?"
"Shinomiya Aoha."
"Aoha? Very nice name. So can you tell me why you object?"
Aoha took a deep breath. He knew he'd bet correctly. What came next would test his acting skills!
He mustered courage and shouted loudly: "Because I'm the one who'll become Hokage!"
Silence!
Deathly silence!
A strange atmosphere suddenly permeated the air!
"Pff! Sorry, I really couldn't hold back."
"Hahaha."
"Interesting brat!"
"I suddenly remembered my troublemaker at home. Every day, he loudly clamours about becoming Hokage in the future, haha."
"Daring to say this on such an occasion, just that courage alone is incredible. This kid's really talented!"
"Right, right. I'm starting to like him."
The originally tense, murderous atmosphere suddenly transformed into a roast session, becoming relaxed and cheerful. Countless people laughed until their sides ached because of a certain brat's brave declaration. Some purely mocked, some teased good-naturedly, but most treated it as innocent childish jokes.
After all, children clamouring to become Hokage were too numerous to count. Just having the courage to shout this before so many people made this brat the first!
Even Minato, who'd personally run down, showed a wry expression, thinking inwardly that if he had children in the future, they absolutely couldn't be like this. Too embarrassing.
"Mm, I believe you'll definitely become Hokage in the future, continuing to protect Konoha's people. But not now. You're still too young."
While saying this helplessly, Minato vengefully rubbed Aoha's head hard.
After hearing the damn system's mission completion notification, the huge stone in Aoha's heart finally fell. So he immediately went with the flow and descended this step, saying somewhat reluctantly: "Fine then. I won't compete with you for now. When I grow up, you must save the Fifth Hokage position for me."
After Aoha's childish words were transmitted again, the laughter in the crowd grew even louder.
A 5-year-old brat wanting to compete with the legendary Yellow Flash for Hokage, even booking the Fifth Hokage seat. Was there anything funnier?
Perhaps within less than a day, the name Shinomiya Aoha would become famous!
Meanwhile, Aoha himself had unspeakable suffering. If he didn't act cute and play innocent, his life would definitely be gone.
So no matter how embarrassing, he had to live on strongly. Tearful.
"Alright, then we've made this promise, future Fifth Hokage."
Looking at Minato's extended pinky finger, black lines flashed across Aoha's forehead, but he still pretended happiness and pinky-promised with Minato. "Of course, Fourth Hokage."
After ending this small interlude, Minato flashed back atop the Hokage building, preparing to continue the unfinished ceremony.
But many people's gazes still frequently glanced toward Aoha, not knowing what they were thinking.
Throughout, Sarutobi Hiruzen calmly waited, probably weighing what impact this farce would bring and what effect it would have on Minato's prestige.
However, from current appearances, Minato's handling method greatly satisfied him, and the results seemed acceptable.
After this matter spread, perhaps it could let more people have a more intuitive understanding of Minato's approachable image.
But even so...
Mikawa!
This old man awaits your explanation!
After imperceptibly glaring at the cold-sweating Mikawa in the crowd, Sarutobi's face again displayed a smile, then handed the Hokage hat symbolising Hokage to Minato.
Naturally, no opposing voices appeared this time. Everything proceeded smoothly.
When Minato began delivering his speech, the restless Aoha finally couldn't help but quietly escape.
Watching him leave, Mikawa bit his teeth and also quietly left early.
Though doing this was somewhat impolite to the Fourth Hokage, he couldn't help but severely discipline that brat!
Finally, Lord Sarutobi's meaningful glance truly made him shiver all over!
He never imagined that on the very first day of being forced to become the other's guardian, that bastard kid would cause such enormous trouble!
If not for Minato-sama's broad mind and not fussing with a small child, his special jonin position would probably end here.
"If I don't beat the shit out of you today, I'll quit being jonin and return to my hometown to farm!"
After viciously swearing inwardly, Mikawa chased Aoha's departing direction and whoosh disappeared.
Meanwhile, Aoha, having avoided the crowd and slipped into a dango shop, began tallying this harvest.
"I paid such a high price. Hope the rewards give me some power!"
Rubbing his hands together, he immediately opened the mission reward's bronze treasure chest.
[You obtained Complete Basic Naval Physical Training Method]
Instantly, lots and lots of poses... ah no, knowledge entered his mind, also letting him immediately understand what this [Complete Basic Naval Physical Training Method] was.
Truly a pillow arriving when drowsy!
He'd been worrying about how to strengthen his stamina. This [Complete Basic Naval Physical Training Method] perfectly filled this gap.
Just following the methods inside for scientific training, his physique could have leaping improvements. Perhaps this reward wasn't the best from bronze chests, but definitely most suitable for him.
Then he examined that Beginner Skill Card. This was also good stuff, used for upgrading skills.
He'd wondered early on how to improve those LV0 abilities. Now he finally knew.
Seemed to become stronger faster, he needed to court death even more crazily!
