Although Ren Sato hadn't noticed it just now.
Pakura clearly saw the complex look in that young female Chunin's eyes.
Yasha Rei quickly noticed Pakura's gaze.
The two women quickly met each other's eyes, both discovering the complex emotions in the other's eyes.
Soon, Yasha Rei avoided Pakura's gaze, turning her head to the side.
Seeing this, the smile lines on Pakura's beautiful face deepened, and she felt inexplicably happy in her heart.
Yasha Rei secretly clenched her pink fists, looking at her figure where she could see her fair toes at a glance.
She felt indignant in her heart. So what if you have a good figure? So what if you're a Jonin?
With my talent, I'll be a Jonin in a few years.
Judging from my sister's figure, in a few more years, my figure will be as good as yours!
Several minutes later, just as Ren Sato walked downstairs and turned his head to say something to Pakura.
A rough male voice interrupted the words he hadn't had time to say:
"Lord Ren Sato, I want to spar with you!"
Hearing this somewhat familiar male voice, Ren Sato immediately turned his head to look at the speaker.
He found that it was a muscular, burly man in his forties with a short beard.
Ren Sato's heart "thumped" a little. He hadn't had time to exchange for anything that could increase his combat power.
Why did someone come to challenge him so quickly?
Ren Sato naturally recognized that the strong man who spoke was Aoki Jonin, who often took the lead at the meeting just now.
He wondered in his heart, "Strange, I didn't say anything to offend him at the meeting."
Although some of my words may have offended him.
But most of them were calmly stating the facts, surely he wouldn't challenge me just for this little thing.
It's not like I have a mocking face.
At this time, Ren Sato was also in a state of confusion.
The words he said at the meeting just now would naturally not offend Aoki Jonin.
But Aoki Jonin was not challenging him for that little thing either.
Pakura, who was only half an arm's distance away from Ren Sato, immediately understood what was going on when she saw Aoki Jonin asking for a spar, from an outsider's perspective.
Pakura also looked around.
It was only a little after four in the afternoon, and a large number of Sand Ninjas were walking around on the first floor of the office building, handling various matters.
Ren Sato, Pakura, and Aoki were all at the top of the Sand Village pyramid.
The fact that the three of them were standing outside the first floor of the office building, as if they were discussing something, naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Some ninjas, after seeing this situation, only glanced at it a few times before continuing to bury themselves in their work.
But a small number of ninjas quietly stopped what they were doing, pricked up their ears, and chose to watch.
Seeing this situation, Pakura glared at Aoki Jonin with dissatisfaction, her red eyes full of anger.
**Author's Words:**
This book is a slow-burn type. The first few chapters introduce the situation and character appearances. I have tried to speed up the pace as much as possible.
**Chapter 5: Sparring**
How could Pakura not understand the meaning behind Aoki's actions?
Sparring is sparring, but why did he have to choose outside the first floor of the office building to ask for a spar?
And he shouted it out so loudly, as if he was afraid that others wouldn't hear or see it.
But it must be said that Aoki's little trick is also very useful.
Regardless of whether Ren Sato agrees or disagrees with this so-called "sparring," Aoki has achieved the result he wanted.
Pakura looked at the growing crowd of onlookers around her. She continued to glare fiercely at Aoki Jonin with her eyes.
If looks could kill, she would have killed Aoki several times over.
Although Pakura wasn't very politically sensitive, the meaning behind Chiyo's words not long ago was so obvious that she could naturally understand it.
However, Ren Sato is her best friend, and he is also the strongest of the younger generation.
In addition, the reasonable and decisive words he spoke at the meeting just now.
Pakura naturally agreed with both hands that her best friend should become the Kazekage.
Afterward, Pakura withdrew her fierce gaze. She leaned close to Ren Sato's ear in a close and natural manner, and said in a breathy voice:
"He is dissatisfied with the words that Elder Chiyo said to you at the meeting just now."
"Don't worry, as your best friend, I support you."
Ren Sato looked at Pakura's stunningly beautiful face at close range.
Even when observing at such close range, Ren Sato couldn't see any blemishes or pores on Pakura's face.
Ren Sato could also easily see that Pakura wasn't wearing any makeup.
Just this bare-faced state far surpassed those countless heavily edited online pictures from Ren Sato's previous life.
After observing at such close range for a few seconds, Ren Sato's heart couldn't help but beat faster, and a lot of messy thoughts popped up in his mind.
Ren Sato cursed himself inwardly.
To divert his attention, he slightly turned his head and looked at Aoki Jonin, who was staring at him with a face full of fighting spirit.
After hearing Pakura's reminder, Ren Sato had already understood.
They felt that he was not strong enough to be the Kazekage, and he had some thoughts about it.
But they didn't dare to openly oppose what Chiyo said, so this scene was staged.
Ren Sato remembered that in the original story, Rasa didn't immediately become the Fourth Kazekage after the Third Kazekage disappeared.
Instead, he performed extremely well in several battles after the start of the Third Ninja World War.
In addition, the position of Kazekage had been vacant for too long, so he was accepted and elected as the Fourth Kazekage.
In this case, a fight is inevitable.
If he couldn't defeat Aoki, a veteran Jonin.
Then even if he was recommended as Kazekage by Chiyo and her brother, he probably wouldn't be able to convince the public.
Just like Gaara.
After he became the Fifth Kazekage, for a long time, various assassinations against him within the Sand Village continued to rise and fall.
A large number of ninjas were also in a state of suspicion and watching.
The only ninjas that Gaara could really control were those of the Maki faction.
This situation continued until the suicide of Fuyo Jonin, the largest opposition faction, before it slowly subsided.
Although his popularity was definitely much better than Gaara, who was hated by everyone in the early stages.
But he must also subdue the first opposition party that jumps out.
These thoughts flashed through Ren Sato's mind, and then he nodded slowly to Aoki Jonin.
When Aoki Jonin saw Ren Sato nodding, an undisguised look of joy immediately appeared on his face. He was about to say something, but was interrupted by Ren Sato:
"Meet at the village entrance tomorrow morning."
After Ren Sato said this, he said apologetically to Pakura:
"Sorry, I can't go to your house for dinner tonight, how about tomorrow night?"
Hearing Ren Sato's words, Pakura's beautiful face was immediately filled with smiles, and she shook her head gently:
"It's okay."
Pakura naturally knew that Ren Sato was preparing for the battle tomorrow morning.
After all, Aoki Jonin had been a Jonin for more than twenty years.
He was also one of the well-known powerhouses in Sand Village.
In the Second Ninja World War, Aoki, who had just become a Jonin, became famous for single-handedly killing more than a dozen Cloud Village Anbu with his exquisite puppet techniques.
And in the Second Ninja World War, which lasted for several years.
Aoki Jonin killed as many as twenty Jonin, including many promising Jonin, which can be described as a glorious achievement.
Even Pakura herself didn't have much chance of winning against this long-established senior.
She believed that she would be doing well if she could withstand fifty moves in his hands.
In Pakura's impression, "Ren Sato" was stronger than herself, but only to a limited extent.
In this case, if Ren Sato still went to her house for dinner this afternoon.
Then how would he have the time and energy to recharge for the battle tomorrow morning?
Besides, there's no rush for dinner.
Ren Sato was thinking of something even simpler.
Now his most important task was to stabilize the situation in the village and clear all the stumbling blocks that dared to jump out to prevent him from becoming the Kazekage.
As for other things like eating and building relationships, they would have to wait.
Moreover, Ren Sato still had a little bit of dark thoughts in his heart.
That is, Pakura only has twenty-odd favorability points now. Even if he goes to her house and eats with her, nothing is likely to happen.
But if he waits until tomorrow, and her favorability doubles on the basis of the existing twenty-odd favorability points, then it will be different.
Aoki Jonin couldn't refuse Ren Sato's reasonable request. He had no choice but to nod sullenly:
"Okay, remember to be on time tomorrow!"
After saying this, Aoki Jonin walked away without looking back.
At the thought that he would soon become the Kazekage.
Aoki's blood couldn't help but flow faster.
In the past, it was because he was suppressed by the Third Kazekage, the strongest Kazekage.
Aoki originally thought that he would live under the shadow of the Third Kazekage for the rest of his life.
But he didn't expect that the Third Kazekage would suddenly disappear mysteriously, and it was very likely that he was no longer in this world!
With the death of the Third Kazekage, apart from Elder Chiyo and her brother, two old men.
Although there were still two or three guys in the village whose strength was similar to his.
But when it came down to it, Aoki believed that he would be the one to win if those guys really fought to the death with him.
So as long as he took the lead in defeating Ren Sato, the strongest of the younger generation, and made a name for himself first.
Then his chances of winning the Fourth Kazekage in the future would be very high!
At the thought of this, Aoki imagined what he would look like as Kazekage in the future, his rough face filled with a hearty smile.
Although Sand Village is the poorest of the five major villages.
The Kazekage doesn't have the same power as the Kage of other ninja villages.
The Kazekage is largely bound by the Daimyo of the Land of Wind economically, and suppressed by the elders of the village in terms of power.
Moreover, the first three Kazekage didn't have good endings, so it can be said that being the Kazekage is a high-risk profession.
But no matter how Aoki thought about it, he felt that.
It was a countless times better than being a Jonin now!
