Konoha's Prayer for Yuan Aoki

Aoki learned that Miroku and Minato had sealed the body and soul of the demon on a scroll respectively, and these two scrolls had been handed over to the Daimyo of the Demon Country by Miroku at this time.

The Daimyo of Oni Country listened to Maitreya's suggestion and placed one scroll in an underground palace in Oni Country, while the other was stored in Numa Country, which was also plundered by the ghost army.

The four Minatos had completed their mission this time, so they bid farewell to the reluctant miko Maitreya and embarked on their way back to Konoha Village.

On the way back to Konoha Village, because nothing urgent happened, I didn't do what I did when I came to the Ghost Country, I just headed towards the Fire Country at a neither fast nor slow speed.

Unlike the last mission to the Country of Whirlpool, which required crossing the sea, there was land between the Country of Oni and Konoha Village, so the four of Aoki spent about four or five days returning to Konoha Village.

Entering Konoha Village, Minato led Aoki and the three of them straight to the Hokage Building without stopping.

After knocking on the door, I heard Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice coming from inside: "Come in!"

Minato opened the door and walked into the office, followed closely by Aoki and others.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting at his desk. When he saw that it was Minato and his team who came in, his eyes suddenly froze, and then he stood up and said: "Minato, it turns out you are back! I got information about the ghost army that invaded the borders of various countries. , suddenly stopped moving strangely a few days ago, and did not respond when attacked. I think you have successfully completed this mission to the Kingdom of Ghosts!"

"Yes, Sandaime-sama, but..." Minato responded, but then pondered for a moment.

Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that Minato's demeanor was a little abnormal at this time, so he took a breath and continued to ask: "But what?"

Minato said with relief: "This time the ghost army stopped moving because the monsters behind them were sealed, but it is not our fault. It was Maitreya, the witch from the country of ghosts, who used the special sealing technique of the witch clan to seal it... "

"Hey, the price of this sealing technique is to consume the witch's life force...then the witch Maitreya is indeed worthy of respect."

After listening to Minato's story, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly. Then he turned his gaze to Aoki behind Minato, and then showed a kind smile and said: "Aoki, this mission is very important to you. Experience. Successfully completing the mission means that you are qualified to hold the title of Chunin."

Aoki didn't react when he heard this, but Akimichi Dingzao on the side quickly spoke to Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Sandaime-sama, Aoki's performance this time is much better than you expected..."

Akimichi Dingza talked eloquently, telling Aoki alone against two ninjas with wind and earth attributes, and using the Rasengan to defeat the powerful Shura, both of which were told in detail.

After listening to Akimichi Dingza's story, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes flashed unobtrusively, and then he nodded in agreement and said to Aoki beside him: "Well, I did a very good job this time. From what Ding Zuo said, it can be seen that you are better than I expected, but... you can't be proud, after all, you are still young!"

"Then...Sandaime-sama, since I have completed this mission so beautifully, is there any reward, such as randomly selecting a few ninjutsu from the book of seals? Hehe!"

Aoki looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with sharp eyes, and suddenly spoke at this moment.

Sarutobi Hiruzen rarely showed his dead fish eyes. He was thinking in his heart whether he had done it too rashly last time when he asked Aoki to choose three ninjutsu from the book of seals. Looking at Aoki's current appearance, it's simply... He was thinking about the ninjutsu in the Sealed Book.

"cough!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed and said: "Okay, that's it for today. You go and deliver the mission first, and then take a good rest. After all, you must be exhausted these days."

Aoki originally saw Sarutobi Hiruzen talking, and although he knew in his heart that he would never let him choose ninjutsu from the book of seals again, he never expected that he would issue an order to expel him so shamelessly.

How about dealing with a child like yourself?

"teacher!"

Just when Aoki was very unhappy, a somewhat feminine voice came from outside the office door behind him.

The four Minatos turned their heads, and what they saw was a Konoha ninja with pale skin and long hair, and his eyes were shining with golden vertical pupils that were very different from ordinary people.

Minato's eyes met with this ninja, and he quickly showed respect and said: "Lord Orochimaru!"

Aoki stood aside, his heart skipping a beat, and then driven by curiosity, he raised his gaze and looked at Orochimaru in front of him.

Orochimaru was not yet aware of the aging of his body at this time. Although he was often doing research on many ninjutsu, he had not yet gotten involved in human experiments.

So the current image of Orochimaru is still that of a great hero in World War II, the most prestigious ninja among the three ninjas of Konoha, and an outstanding disciple of the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The name of Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas of Konoha, was also well known to Akimichi Choza and the other two, so when they saw the true form of Orochimaru in front of them, they showed the same respectful expression as Minato.

After listening to Minato's words, Orochimaru showed a slightly sinister smile and said: "It turns out to be Minato, it's been a long time! That guy Jiraiya is not a competent teacher. He only knows that he is happy all day long, but he doesn't Spend some time teaching your students well. How about... Minato, you should also become my teacher!"

Aoki was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't think Orochimaru was joking. It seemed that Brother Minato's qualifications were really good.

However... Brother Minato will become the Fourth Hokage in the future. Orochimaru's importance as one of the three ninjas seems to be incomparable to him.

When Minato heard Orochimaru's words, he quickly showed an embarrassed smile, then scratched his head and said sheepishly: "Haha... Orochimaru-sama, you are joking, the teacher is not as outrageous as you said."

"Well, that's a shame."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, and then deliberately said with a pity look.

Then, Orochimaru turned his gaze and looked around Minato. After a while, he actually stopped his gaze on Aoki, who was behind the three Minatos.

Aoki looked at Orochimaru carefully before, and after taking in Orochimaru's appearance, he deliberately lowered his head, not wanting him to notice his presence.

After all, Orochimaru will be a very dangerous person in the future, and his current aptitude is quite good. If he is targeted by him and accidentally leaves a curse mark or something, then he will be led by the neck. .

But it happened contrary to expectations. Soon after Aoki lowered his head, he realized that someone seemed to be looking at him, so he tentatively raised his head slowly, and then he met Orochimaru's gaze.

The two looked at each other for a while, Aoki's heart trembled, and Orochimaru looked at Aoki and said: "Well, who is this ninja? It looks like he is very young!"

As a disciple of the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen, Orochimaru had repeatedly performed extraordinary feats in World War II and had extraordinary abilities in all aspects. Therefore, he also held important positions in high-level positions in Konoha Village during non-war times.

He naturally knew that the four Minatos were on a mission to the Kingdom of Ghosts this time, and when he thought of the ghost legions and monsters that caused headaches to all the countries in the west, he couldn't help but have feelings for Minato who led the team to complete this mission. some interest.

But now when I saw the four people on the mission, I found that Aoki among the four was so young. The previous interest in Minato couldn't help but transfer to Aoki in front of me.

When Minato saw Orochimaru looking at Aoki, he didn't have any strange feeling in his heart. Then he said to Aoki who was a little at a loss: "Aoki, the person in front of you is Orochimaru-sama, one of the three ninjas of Konoha. You can't be rude. !”

Hearing this, Aoki glanced at Minato, and after seeing the gentle look on his face, his somewhat tense mood slowly relaxed.

Then he thought that Orochimaru could not do anything to him now, so he looked at Orochimaru without fear and said: "Oh, it turns out to be Orochimaru-sama, I have admired him for a long time!"

Orochimaru's eyes were sharp and he noticed something was wrong with Aoki just now, but he didn't say anything. He just showed a sinister smile again and responded: "Your name is Aoki, right! Aoki, the thick roots penetrate into the ground, and the leaves grow from them. , what a good name!”

Aoki was also startled when he heard this. He had never noticed that his name had such a meaning, and Orochimaru seemed to have something in his words, so he couldn't help but think in his mind: "The thick roots penetrate into the ground, and the fingers are everywhere." Is it Danzo's root tissue, from which Konoha grows, referring to Konoha Village. So does Orochimaru mean that he is a wallflower, or does it have other meanings?"

Although there were some doubts in his heart, Aoki would definitely not ask what Orochimaru wanted to say, so he could only laugh and said: "Haha... Orochimaru-sama has given me the prize. Your name is not bad, no! It's much better than mine!"

Orochimaru looked at Aoki's appearance and wanted to say something, but after hearing what he just said, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression suddenly changed, and then interrupted him at this time: "Okay, Orochimaru Maru, you must have something very important coming here, and you need to report to me! Minato and the others have just come back, and the mission of the Kingdom of Demons has not been delivered, so you'd better not waste their time!"

Aoki, who was standing aside, nodded in agreement after listening to Sarutobi Hiruzen's words.

He didn't want to talk to Orochimaru anymore, because talking to Orochimaru made him feel weird, and he also felt like he was being forced to strip off his clothes and take nude photos, which made him physically and mentally uncomfortable.

Hearing this, Orochimaru smiled nonchalantly, then nodded slightly to Aoki in front of him and said, "Okay! Aoki-kun! What a pity! We couldn't have a good chat!"

Aoki's pupils reflected the sharp teeth on both sides of Orochimaru's mouth, and his heart suddenly shuddered. Then he showed a dead fish eye and smiled: "Hehehe..."

After a while, Aoki and his team of four finished delivering the mission to the Kingdom of Ghosts, then walked out of the Hokage Building and came to the streets of Konoha Village.

Minato looked at the crowds coming and going on the street, then turned to look at the three Aoki people behind him, and said with a smile: "Aoki, Dingzao, Zhiwei, this mission can only be completed successfully if we all work together. As a I am really grateful to you, captain! By the way! Do you have any other plans today! If not, I would like to invite you to have a meal with me at my house!" See more!
