Chapter 473 Unexpected Frankness (5th Update, Please Subscribe, Please Vote!)

Jiraiya also thought about making such a decision for a long time and felt it was necessary, so he did it.

Since Shinomiya Aoba was so 'persistent' in wanting to become Hokage, he simply fulfilled his wish and stayed by his side as Hokage's assistant.

If his intuition was correct and the other party really had other purposes to become Hokage, then under his surveillance, nothing would be hidden.

At that time, there is still no time to stop everything, and he can even clean the portal directly!

It's better to lose some face than regret.

But if it turned out that he was overthinking, and that he was a young man who regarded Naruto as his dream, then the position of Hokage would be his compensation.

As long as the other party has the ability to be a good Hokage, then he can leave with peace of mind.

This way, he would neither wrongfully accuse innocent people nor leave a ticking time bomb in the village.

Jiraiya thought it over very comprehensively, but what he didn't expect was that the person he suspected actually had a more serious problem than he thought.

If he could have noticed it earlier, he might not have made such a choice.

The daimyo looked at Jiraiya thoughtfully, then at Qingyu, and suddenly felt that things had become more interesting.

"Then it's decided that Shinomiya Aoba will serve as the Fifth Hokage. However, considering that the new Hokage is still young, Jiraiya will serve as the Hokage's assistant, working with two advisors and two elders to help the Hokage handle the situation. Affairs until the Fifth Hokage can stand alone."

Mito Kado and Koharu, who had transferred to the dormitory, were already unable to jump up and down, but the daimyo's words ignited their hopes again.

This is because they are worried that the new Hokage will not be able to do well, so they delegate the power of Hokage to them, the senior officials of Konoha!

If they could instigate Uchiha Fugaku and Hinata Hizashi to rebel again, maybe they could completely defeat Naruto.

What a cruel move!

Even Qingyu found that he seemed to have underestimated this great name of the Fire Country, and he was very good at balancing!

After Jiraiya expressed his unwillingness to be Hokage and wanted the position of Hokage's assistant, he was able to come up with such a solution immediately, and it also made it impossible for him to say "no". It was indeed amazing.

After all, his age is a flaw. Considering that there is no other suitable candidate, he can only be selected. With Jiraiya to 'assist' him, two advisers and two elders share the power in his hands, so that he can be the best choice. The fast speed stabilized Konoha.

Even if someone criticized his age, for Jiraiya's sake they couldn't say anything.

With Jiraiya checking in, what are you worried about?

Qingyu estimated that if he wanted to issue some relatively 'foolish' orders, he might not even be able to spread them to the Hokage's office.

He was stuck directly at Jiraiya, and then there were two eager elders waiting to cause trouble for him.

What kind of Hokage is this?

It’s just a decoration!

Moreover, the statement ‘until you can stand alone’ is also very interesting. This is simply a false proposition.

What does it mean to be able to stand alone?

What are the criteria for judging?

If you don't give him a chance, how can you stand alone?

Interesting, really interesting!

Qingyu didn't raise any objections, as if he acquiesced, but his face suddenly turned cold.

"You want me to be the puppet Hokage for a few years? It depends on whether you have the ability!"

In the absence of any objection from both parties, the Fire Country Daimyo quickly stamped the appointment document, and the matter was considered finalized.

When leaving, Qingyu and Jiraiya walked side by side, "What is this? Give charity to my Hokage? And then let me just be a puppet who can only handle files?"

Jiraiya seemed stunned for a moment, "Why do you think so? In fact, I think you do have the qualifications to become Hokage. But what I can't figure out is, why are you so anxious? You are obviously still so young, even if you are ten I can’t afford to wait for twenty years.”

"You know, you give me the feeling right now that you want to sit in the position of Hokage at all costs. Can you tell me why?"

Why?

Of course it was released for the dog system...

Qingyu suddenly froze on the spot, and after a long time, a look of deep exhaustion appeared in his eyes.

Maybe the mission reward is indeed what he wants, but the real reason why he is so eager to take action is not this.

But... fear.

Yes, afraid.

He was afraid of sinking deeper into himself.

Because he is a spy, sooner or later his identity will be exposed, and then he is afraid that he will continue to give up.

If he stayed in Konoha for another ten or twenty years, everything would fall into place.

He was afraid that he would be in even more pain by then.

Therefore, completing this undercover mission as soon as possible and getting out while you can is the wisest choice.

Maybe if he was a cold-blooded person, he wouldn't have these troubles.

Qingyu sighed, "So is this why you doubt me?"

Jiraiya, who had been waiting quietly aside, didn't seem very sure and said, "Maybe. Under normal circumstances, I shouldn't doubt you, but my intuition tells me that you are not as usual. So simple.”

"I believe you must have a reason for becoming the Fifth Hokage, but whether this reason is good or bad for Konoha is still unknown."

"So I will keep an eye on you for the next period of time. If your selfish desires outweigh your responsibilities, then I will personally take back your title of Hokage."

"To be honest, I hope I am wrong. As long as you can prove this, I will sincerely apologize to you."

Qingyu suddenly said seriously, "Has anyone ever told you that your intuition is terrible?"

"Are you willing to tell me the reason?" Jiraiya was a little surprised.

"You'll know, but not now."

"I bloom in the darkness, like flowers in the dawn..."

"Time will tell and I hope you won't regret the decision you made today."

Qingyu turned around and left without giving Jiraiya a chance to continue asking.

As for what he just said, it doesn't matter if Jiraiya can't understand it now, but sooner or later, Jiraiya will know the meaning of these words.

But by then things must have changed.

The warrior who slays the dragon will eventually turn into a dragon. Who knows whether the person who kisses the princess is a dragon or a warrior?

Jiraiya stood there and frowned, thinking about the last few words Qingyu said to him. He always felt like he was reminding him of something, but he couldn't understand it.

"Maybe I should take some time to go back to Miaomu Mountain and ask the Great Toad Immortal for advice. I don't know why, after hearing these words, the uneasiness in my heart became even stronger..."

"Shinomiya Aoha...what exactly are you going to do?"
