--------------------------------
Early the next morning, Mikawa-jonin came looking for Aoha with a black face. "From now on, you'll live here. At the beginning of each month, I'll collect two thousand ryo in relief funds for you. Additionally, next year you'll be arranged to attend school. So during this time, behave yourself. If you cause any trouble, don't blame me for being impolite!"
After threatening him with a black face, he didn't even look at the completely bewildered Aoha before turning and leaving without any hesitation.
Aoha had no idea where he'd offended him, or maybe menopause had arrived. Why did his temper suddenly become so terrible?
However, he still happily accepted the two thousand ryo in pocket money Mikawa left before departing.
Then he silently calculated in his mind: two thousand ryo equalled about twenty thousand yen, roughly equivalent to over twelve hundred RMB, with similar purchasing power.
Without needing to pay rent, one thousand two hundred in monthly living expenses wasn't affluent, but he shouldn't starve either.
"Looks like I need to find ways to earn money. Otherwise, if I eat freely, this money might not be enough. Plus, there's about a year until I turn six and attend ninja academy. Better not waste this time."
After thinking, he put two hundred ryo into his wallet, then divided the remaining money into several portions and hid them in different places before locking the door and leaving.
Honestly, since arriving at Konoha, he hadn't properly explored yet, so he decided to walk around and familiarise himself with the environment.
Though Konoha was the largest, most prosperous village, in the eyes of this modern person, it was just so-so, somewhat difficult to adapt to its backwardness.
However, public security was quite good. Probably nobody dared cause trouble in the village at this critical juncture.
So he walked and stopped along the way, looking at the scenery everywhere. Nothing dramatic happened until he saw a crowd gathered ahead.
"Hmm? Why so many people?"
Aoha curiously squeezed to the front and finally understood why so many people surrounded this place.
Only because ahead stood a notice board with shocking news written on it!
"From this day forward, current Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen will resign from the Hokage position, to be succeeded by Namikaze Minato as the Fourth Hokage."
Aoha slowly read out the announcement above, a flash of surprise crossing his face.
Today was actually the big day when Naruto's dad succeeded as Hokage!
He carefully recalled that when Minato became Hokage, Rin had already died. Kakashi even specially went to the cemetery to tell this good news to the deceased Rin and Obito.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Seemed his small butterfly's influence hadn't yet manifested. Everything still followed the original plot development.
"Should I go watch the excitement? Being able to personally experience such a commemorative scene seems quite tempting."
Just as he felt somewhat moved, the damn system that had been silent for several days came online again.
Ding!
[Bronze-level Death-Courting Mission Released!]
[Mission Name: The Centre of All Attention]
[Content Description: At the Fourth Hokage's inauguration ceremony, voice opposition and shout the slogan 'I want to become Hokage!']
(How could these mortals possibly understand your great ideals? Let them tremble!)
[Mission Reward: Bronze Treasure Chest X1, Beginner Skill Card X1]
[Mission Failure: Live gloriously, die greatly. Just go in peace.]
I'll lead you all!
Damn it all!
After reading this mission, Aoha almost instantly shouted every colourful greeting method in his heart!
Damn system, if you think I'm not dying fast enough, just say so!
Imaginably, on such an important day, if someone suddenly jumped out to cause trouble and opposed Minato assuming the Hokage position, what enormous chaos it would cause. Probably nine lives wouldn't be enough to die!
Moreover, what was even more infuriating was that such a death-courting mission was only rated bronze level by the system??
Only one level higher than ordinary missions?
Did this damn system have some misunderstanding about death-courting difficulty?
Bronze-level death-courting missions were already this terrifying. Wouldn't higher difficulty ones require directly confronting Tailed Beasts and beating up Otsutsuki?
Forget it, better first think about how to write the final words.
Aoha lowered his head, extremely dejected, like a walking corpse heading toward the Hokage building.
At this point, there was no other solution. His age, plus the partial talents he'd deliberately revealed, were his greatest protective charms.
They said children's words were innocent. With the Fourth's personality, he shouldn't directly kill him.
Damn it, sooner or later, this damn system will get me killed!
At 12 PM noon, countless people converged around the Hokage building.
Sarutobi and other Konoha higher-ups all stood atop the Hokage building, waiting for the ceremony to begin. Below in front stood Kakashi and many other ninjas, with civilians coming to observe behind them.
Having arrived relatively early, Aoha's position wasn't bad, sandwiched between the two groups.
He also finally saw the 'idiot Kakashi' Obito constantly obsessed over, and of course, that 'Blue Beast' Emperor Gai, who almost kicked out the finale with one leg.
That familiar attire made Aoha somewhat excited, but thinking about the 'foolish thing' he'd soon do, he immediately couldn't laugh anymore, his whole being shrouded by a 'halo of despair.'
"Silence!"
The clamour in the crowd quickly disappeared.
Then an unfamiliar person began loudly reciting Namikaze Minato's glorious achievements and contributions to the village. Aoha knew this was building momentum for Minato, letting everyone know the soon-to-succeed Fourth Hokage wasn't some incompetent but was completely qualified for this position.
Additionally, this opportunity was used to suppress opposing voices in the village, and finally to deter external enemies!
Though Aoha already knew how awesome the Fourth was, personally experiencing this and hearing the 'Yellow Flash's' great and small remarkable achievements still couldn't help making his blood boil, much less those ninjas already close to Minato and those civilians.
After the recitation finished, Minato's prestige momentarily reached a peak.
At this moment, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruze,n solemnly removed the Hokage hat from his head, then walked before Minato.
"From this day forward, the new Hokage will be succeeded by Namikaze Minato..."
"Wait, I object!"
Suddenly, a childish voice rang out in this quiet environment!
Who?
Gone crazy?
Even Danzo didn't dare jump out to object at this moment. Yet someone dared obstruct the ceremony's progress in front of so many people. Had they lived long enough?
After the initial shock, countless people immediately began frantically searching for the person who voiced opposition.
Even the Third and Fourth, preparing for the handover ceremony, cast curious gazes toward the crowd.
