Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: “Discussion”

How could Pakura not understand the meaning behind Aoki's actions?

If you want to discuss something, just discuss it. Why should you choose to do it outside the office building on the first floor?

And he shouted it in a loud voice, as if he was afraid that others would not be able to hear or see him.

However, it must be said that Aoki's intelligence came in very handy.

Regardless of whether Rikuya agreed or disagreed with this so-called "competition," Aoki's desired outcome was achieved.

Pakura stared at the growing crowd of onlookers, and she continued to glare sharply at the Aoki Jonin.

If looks could kill, he would have killed Aoki several times over.

Even though Pakura wasn't particularly sensitive to politics, the meaning of Chiyo's recent words was so clear that she could naturally understand them.

However, Rikuya is his best friend, and he is the strongest among the younger generation.

In addition, there were reasonable, calm and firm words spoken in the meeting.

Pakura of course agreed with her best friend to become Kazekage.

Then Pakura withdrew her sharp gaze, and she leaned close to Rikuya's ear in an intimate and natural manner, and said with a breath as sweet as an orchid:

"He was not satisfied with what Elder Qiandai said to you at the meeting earlier."

"Don't worry, as your best friend, I support you."

Rikuya looked at Pakura's very beautiful face.

Even from that close, there was no blemish or pore visible on Pakura's face.

Rikuya could also easily tell that Pakura was not wearing any makeup on her face.

However, this bare face is much better than Rikuya's previous online photos that have been edited many times.

After observing carefully for a few seconds, Rikuya's heartbeat accelerated and many chaotic thoughts appeared in his mind.

Rikuya cursed himself inwardly.

To distract himself, he turned his head slightly and looked at Aoki Jonin who was looking at him with fighting spirit on his face.

After hearing Pakura's reminder, Rikuya understood.

This was because they felt they were not strong enough to become Wind Shadows, and they had some ideas of their own.

But he did not dare to openly oppose Chiyo's words, so this drama happened.

According to Rikuya's memories, Rasa in the original work did not immediately become the Fourth Kazekage after the Third Kazekage disappeared.

On the contrary, after the start of the Third Shinobi World War, he performed very well in several battles.

In addition, the position of Kazekage had been vacant for too long, so he was accepted by everyone and was elected as the Fourth Kazekage.

It seems we have no choice but to fight.

If he couldn't defeat Aoki, the veteran jonin.

Even if he was recommended as Kazekage by Chiyo's brother, he might not be able to convince others.

Just like Gaara.

After he became the Fifth Kazekage, for a long period of time, there were continuous assassination attempts against him in Sunagakure Village.

A large number of ninjas also watched with suspicion.

The only ninja Gaara can truly control are those from the Maki faction.

This situation continued until the greatest opposition figure, Fushigi Jonin, committed suicide, and then the situation began to slowly subside.

Although my popularity among the public is definitely much better than Gaara who was hated by everyone in the early days.

But the first opposition that emerged had to be subdued.

Rikuya thought about it before nodding slowly towards jonin Aoki.

When Aoki Jonin saw Rikuya nod, he immediately showed undisguised joy on his face. Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Rikuya:

"Meet at the village gate tomorrow morning."

After Rikuya finished speaking, he said to Pakura with an apologetic expression:

"Sorry, I can't come to your house for dinner tonight. Maybe tomorrow night."

Hearing Rikuya's words, Pakura's beautiful face immediately lit up with a smile, and she shook her head slightly:

"Good."

Pakura of course understood that this was Rikuya's early preparation for the battle tomorrow morning.

After all, Aoki had been a jonin for over 20 years.

He is also one of the famous strong people in Sunagakure Village.

During the Second Shinobi World War, Aoki, who had just become a Jonin, became famous for killing over a dozen Anbu from Kumogakure Village at once with his incredible puppet techniques.

And during the Second Ninja World War which lasted for several years.

Aoki Jonin killed over twenty jonin, including some who nearly became famous. His military achievements were truly extraordinary.

Even Pakura herself didn't have much of a chance of winning against this old veteran who had been famous for a long time.

He thought it would be great if he could last fifty moves in her hands.

In Pakura's impression, even though "Rikuya" was stronger than her, his strength was limited.

In this case, if Rikuya still goes to his house for dinner this evening.

How can I have the time and energy to recharge my batteries for tomorrow morning's battle?

Besides, eating won't be a big problem in a day or two.

Rikuya's idea is simpler.

His most important task now was to stabilize the situation in the village and eliminate any obstacles that dared to stand in his way of becoming the Wind Shadow.

As for other things such as eating and maintaining relationships with other people, they must be postponed until later.

And Rikuya had some dark thoughts in his mind.

I mean, Pakura's favorability rating is only in the twenties right now, so nothing would happen even if I went to her house and had dinner with her.

But if the level of support for him doubles from its current level of around 20 tomorrow, then things will be different.

Aoki Jonin couldn't refuse Rikuya's reasonable request, so he could only nod silently and say:

"Okay, remember to come on time tomorrow!"

After saying this, Aoki Jonin left without looking back.

The thought that I would soon become Kazekage.

The blood in Aoki's body couldn't help but flow faster.

In the past, he was suppressed by the Third Kazekage, the strongest Kazekage.

Initially, Aoki thought that he would live under the shadow of the Third Kazekage for the rest of his life.

But no one expected that the Third Kazekage would suddenly disappear mysteriously, and most likely he is no longer alive!

After the death of the Third Kazekage, there were only two old men and women left, except for Chiyo's older sister and brother.

Although there are still two or three people in this village who are as strong as me.

But to be honest, if those people really fought to the death with me.

Aoki thought that it was likely that he would be the one to win in the end.

Therefore, all he had to do was defeat Rikuya, the strongest of the younger generation, and become famous first.

Then your chances of winning the Fourth Kazekage battle will be very high!

Thinking about this, Aoki imagined himself becoming the Kazekage in the future, with a wide smile on his rough face.

Although Sunagakure Village is the poorest among the five great villages.

The Kazekage does not have as much power as the Kage from other ninja villages.

The Kazekage was largely economically restricted by the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, and his power was suppressed by the combined efforts of the village elders.

Moreover, the first three generations of Kazekage did not have a good ending, so it can be said that being a Kazekage is a high-risk job.

But no matter how Aoki thought about it, he felt it.

No matter what, being a jonin now is much better than being a jonin!

Being a Kazekage was dangerous, but isn't it less dangerous now that I've become a Jonin?

Rikuya stared silently at Aoki Jonin's back and shook his head.

I don't see any trace of this Jonin Aoki in the original work.

Then there is only one possibility.

It is likely that Jonin Aoki died in the Third Great Ninja War.

And he doesn't have any relatives or friends who are related to the main character, so his actions are not visible.

Rikuya noticed more and more ninjas gathering around him.

He turned and greeted Pakura, then walked towards his house.

My current skill value is only 370 points, so there is no need to think about that high-level combat equipment.

But this person was Aoki, based on the information he obtained from his memories.

This guy was at least a top-level jonin, even stronger than Maki a dozen years later.

But Rikuya wasn't too worried.

Because I have a system, although I am embarrassed to say it, it is certainly part of my strength.

Once I get back, I will immediately convert all my skill values into favored items and try my best to increase other people's favorability.

Considering the two day time difference between tonight and tomorrow, I will be able to gain several thousand skill points tomorrow.

Although a few thousand skill points couldn't be exchanged for something on the level of the Eternal Mangekyo or Rinnegan.

But whatever happens, you can exchange it for something else good.

After all, I only saw the first page of the exchange system with 100 exchange items.

There are still 900 billion pages and 90 trillion redeemable items to flip through.

"Let's have a match. Aoki has always been eyeing the Kazekage position, and now he finally gets his chance."

Located in the middle of Sunagakure Village, in a seemingly ordinary room.

Chiyo said expressionlessly while sitting on the chair.

"Haha, my little brother, Qingmu always likes to use his clever tricks."

"This is also the reason why he was unable to make further progress in terms of strength even though his talent was excellent."

Ebizo, who was sitting next to Chiyo, had a faint smile on his face.

But if you look closely, there is no smile at all in his cloudy eyes.

After all, the two brothers had explained Rikuya's status before.

No one present at the time objected.

But after that meeting, Aoki immediately challenged Rikuya.

This kind of clever behavior is tantamount to challenging the authority of a sibling.

"Then, gentlemen, would you like me to warn Aoki Jonin?"

Suddenly, a soft female voice appeared in the room.

The person speaking was wearing a black windbreaker and a rabbit mask.

Even though she was wearing a black windbreaker that could cover her curves, from her curves, we could still tell that she definitely had a very good body shape.

She was wearing black half-heel shoes and was 1.7 meters tall.

The back of her legs, which were half exposed because of her high heels, were snow white and smooth, with no visible veins.

The skin on the back of the feet was so white and soft that it gave off a faint glow even in a slightly dim room.

Her ankles were rounder than snow, small and exquisite, and looked very delicate.

Except for some exposed legs, many facial wrinkles can be seen on the exposed white and soft neck.

This proves that he is a puppeteer, and his level is quite high.

This woman is wearing a black windbreaker and a rabbit mask.

It was the woman who had been watching in the upper corner of the office.

Chiyo pondered for a moment, and finally shook her head:

"No, the debate Aoki proposed was reasonable, and Rikuya also agreed with it."

"In this case, we have no reason to interrupt them. Besides, even if we interrupt them, it will be in vain. Those who are dissatisfied will remain dissatisfied."

Ebizo also followed up:

"If Rikuya didn't agree at that time, we would have had enough reason to help him, but he agreed right away."

At this point, Ebizo shook his head slightly, as if he felt sorry for Rikuya.

Even though he is the shadow of the village, he doesn't necessarily have to be the strongest person in the entire village.

But no matter how weak his strength was, he should at least be ranked first in the competition for a village's shadow, and it would be reasonable to be among the top five or six in the entire village at that time.
