Chapter 22: There Is a Little Dangerous Work
When Mikawa walked out of the office of the Hokage, he was still a little dizzy. He never thought that his disrespectful actions would be so easily let go of by Yondaime. Moreover, he even lowered his posture so low, frequently asking for advice from him.
To be honest, although he was no longer a child who relied on righteousness, he was still convinced by the performance of Yondaime.
"It's really Konoha's fortune to have such a Hokage!"
When Mikawa left the Hokage building, he subconsciously looked up. Unknowingly, Minato had another hardcore supporter!
....
In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi, who had witnessed everything, could not help but sigh. It seemed that choosing Minato as the Hokage was probably one of the most correct things he had done in his life.
"Sarutobi-sensei, shall we begin?"
"No, I don't have anything to teach you anymore, because you will be an even more outstanding Hokage than me, Lord Yondaime."
Sarutobi shook his head and revealed a gratified smile. Then, he left without any reluctance.
Only Minato, who had a face full of despair and was still unable to figure out what was going on, was left there, smiling bitterly.
....
In the next few days, everything was calm and peaceful.
No enemies dared to cause trouble in Konoha, or it was difficult for the civilians living in Konoha to come into contact with this information.
And Mikawa did not take him to apologize like they had agreed, and did not even show up. This made Aoba very suspicious, wondering if this guy was making a fool of himself.
In addition, in anticipation, the situation of Itachi inviting him to eat Three-color dango did not appear. He did not know if it were because Itachi had forgotten about this matter or because of some other reason that he could not come.
However, Aoba did not waste these few days. He spent most of his savings to buy some equipment needed to train his body.
It had to be said that compared to food, the price of this kind of item was more expensive.
If not for his sweet mouth and the fact that there was a little ghost challenging Yondaime to become a Hokage in the past few days, the news of him becoming an "H celebrity" that people talked about after tea had spread throughout the streets, allowing him to obtain some "discount". Otherwise, he would really have to eat dirt in the next half month!
Therefore, the next thing he needed to do was to work and earn money!
...
Hokage Rock, which usually didn't have many people to visit, had recently become busy again because of the appointment of Lord Minato.
A large number of craftsmen were gathered to carve the image of Yondaime next to the first generation, second generation, and Sandaime's statue.
Aoba, who came to work, naturally did not have the ability to participate, but there were always some chores that needed people to do.
For example, cleaning the falling stones under the Hokage Rock...
This was a relatively dangerous job, but the danger was limited. Because Aoba's work needed to wait for the craftsman to finish his work in the day, he was only responsible for cleaning up all the gravel that fell on the ground.
Although he was a little tired, it did not delay his daytime training. As for the occasional falling gravel, it was just enough to train his reaction ability.
Even if he couldn't avoid it, he still had [Poor Quality Self Healing Body] and [Hardening] to save his life. A small injury would be good very quickly.
Therefore, after a day of trial, his performance successfully convinced the person in charge here and agreed to let him come here to work.
As for the salary, it was a daily salary, two hundred taels a day, and no food and shelter.
In other words, about one hundred and two cents a day was already a lot for a five-year-old child.
If not for the fact that this job was somewhat dangerous and it wasn't worthwhile to issue missions and ask the ninjas to deal with it, he wouldn't have been able to get this money.
"Two hundred taels a day, six thousand taels a month! It would be great if this job could continue on."
Aoba, who was selling his strength and pushing a small cart, and constantly transporting stones, couldn't help but think.
After all, as an adult's soul, it was quite shameful to receive a rescue fund or something. It was naturally best to be self-reliant.
But it was obvious that this job would not last long, and those craftsmen should be finished in a month.
However, maybe he would be able to find an easier and more profitable job at that time.
It was not his character to think too far ahead. Let's take it one step at a time.
