This ninja is obviously not strong but he goes too far to seek death.

Shinomiya Aoba, who was carefully cleaning up the house, thought that one thousand taels was a lot, but for ninjas, even the lowest genin was just pocket money given casually.

Because the reward for an ordinary D-level mission, that is, a simple mission that does not require combat and does not involve any danger, is between 5,000 and 50,000 taels...

The minimum reward for an S-level mission is more than one million taels!

Therefore, the living expenses of one thousand taels are nothing to Mikawa, who is already a special jounin. If it weren't for Aoyu's young age, a casual payment of tens of thousands taels would be nothing more than the reward for a few D-level tasks. .

Of course, it's been a long time since Mikawa took on a D-level junk mission.

. . . . . . . . . .

In the Hokage's office, the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was looking at the young man in front of him gently and felt very pleased.

After Orochimaru defected and Jiraiya and Tsunade ran away one after another, he was very fortunate that there were more outstanding people who shined, and one of them became a person who was frightened by the enemy and always reminded him of Sakumo. ...

Minato, are you ready for your speech tomorrow? I know you don't like this kind of formality, but the inauguration ceremony of the next generation of Hokage is not only a matter of face, but also an important move for Konoha to show its strength to other major countries. Presumably those guys who are hiding in the dark and ready to take action will not dare to do anything after seeing the famous 'Golden Flash' taking over as Hokage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen deliberately teased in a teasing tone, making Namikaze Minato who was standing in front of him very embarrassed.

But there was another reason he didn't say out loud, and that was that he was eager to abdicate and make way for the wise. In addition to feeling deeply incompetent, he also wanted to use this method to give an explanation to the many people who had sacrificed in Konoha and several other major countries, so that this situation could end as soon as possible. A war that swept the entire ninja world.

Seeing that all his teachers had said this, Minato couldn't refute anymore, so he nodded and said that he would prepare carefully and not discredit Konoha.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

Minato took this opportunity to say goodbye, Then I'll go back and prepare.

Well, say hello to Kushina for me. It's been so long and she hasn't come to see this bad old man like me.

Minato laughed awkwardly, and then disappeared with a Flying Thunder God Jutsu.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a melancholy look on his face. The Uzumaki clan had always been a thorn in his heart. Although he had rescued Kushina, it was an indisputable fact that he betrayed his allies and failed to help each other.

Even though this matter has long been buried by insiders like them, so that no one knows the so-called truth, but every time he sees the iconic red hair, his guilt will increase. Maybe he really doesn't Suitable for being a Hokage.

Come in!

As he regained his composure and regained his usual dignity, the people waiting for the report outside also opened the door and walked in. It was Mikawa's special jounin who had left Qingyu not long ago.

Hokage-sama.

Oh, it's Mikawa. How is that kid settling in?

Mikawa hesitated for a moment, but gritted his teeth and chose to report truthfully, I'm sorry, Hokage-sama...

After listening to Mikawa's narration, Sarutobi fell into deep thought. His original intention was to use the love of his family to subtly change the other person, and then cultivate him into an outstanding talent who would give everything to Konoha in the future.

This was also the best plan he came up with after confirming the authenticity and innocence of his identity.

After all, judging from the surveillance reports reported during this period, after experiencing all these, the other party's immature mind has undergone a huge deflection. Not only does he have violent tendencies, but he also has a naughty personality and will retaliate. This is not In line with the so-called 'will of fire'.

I just didn’t expect that not only did this little devil have his own ideas, but even the ‘mission person’ he sent started to have his own opinions.

Mikawa, you can't treat this matter as a task. The war is only temporarily suspended, and the Kumo ninja's attitude is still unclear. Don't you want to continue the family?

After mentioning the continuation of the family, Mikawa's face suddenly showed a sad look, but it was quickly replaced by strength.

I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, Mikawa disappoints you.

Hearing Mikawa still say that, Sarutobi knew he couldn't force the matter any longer, so he could only sigh.

You go back, I will make arrangements for others regarding Shinomiya Aoyu.

this...

What, is there anything else?

Mikawa, who had achieved his goal, could have said no more, but after hesitating, he still said for Qingyu, I think it's better not to force this matter. I can see that, that child Being so repulsive about being adopted may actually be self-defeating.”

Sarutobi is not a person who insists on having his own way. It is better to say that he has a softer ear. Otherwise, he would not have allowed Danzo to make trouble many times, let alone be constrained by the so-called high-level advisors of Konoha. You must know that the two people before him The Dai Hokage always kept his word, and no one dared to make irresponsible remarks in front of them.

This is both an advantage and a huge disadvantage.

After thinking about it carefully, Sarutobi also felt that what Mikawa said made some sense, but the bad character shown by Shinomiya Aoha really did not reassure him.

So he pondered for a moment and said: Well, I can agree to let him live alone, but you need to be his guardian. Once he causes any trouble, you will be responsible for solving it. In addition, the village's financial situation has recently The situation is not very good, so the subsidy is gone. You have to figure out how to deal with food and accommodation on your own, but when he reaches 6 years old, the tuition and miscellaneous fees at the ninja school will be waived. What do you think of this method?

Mikawa's long face suddenly fell down!

What is the difference between this so-called guardianship and adoption?

In addition to not having to worry about discipline on weekdays, he needs to pay for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and he has to be responsible for troubles. This is just another way of saying it!

As for the tuition and fees waived...

Thank you so much, you are so generous!

Mikawa can guarantee that even if that kid doesn't have a dime, Hokage-sama will let him go to school. Otherwise, wouldn't all the previous energy be in vain?

After he shows his talents, everyone who loves Konoha will hope that he will become an independent ninja in the future to repay the village for cultivating him.

So does he fall into a trap?

Hokage-sama really gets better and better as he gets older...

A series of disrespectful words were buried deep in Mikawa's heart.

Gan!

Old fox!
