This Ninja Is Obviously Not Strong but Really Hard to Kill

With inspiration, the basic conditions for completing the task must be confirmed as soon as possible!

Therefore, he did not have time to go home. Aoba ran back with the help money left by Mikawa before he left.

First, he found a shop selling dye. After communicating with the boss for a long time, he finally finalized the first business deal with satisfaction. Then, he went to buy strong glue, fabric, and other miscellaneous items. Only then did he hang everything on his body and return home.

When he reached home, before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, his stomach began to rumble.

Only then did he remember that after being busy all day, he had not even eaten anything!

Thus, he had to put away the things first, go out and eat some ready-made food, and then store a lot of food.

After he was done with these things, he took out the miscellaneous things he had bought before and began to struggle desperately...

....

The next day, after Aoba finished his breakfast and stretched his muscles, he went straight to the place where Grandpa Yamashita worked.

Not far from the Hokage Rock, there was a place especially for artisans to store tools and temporary rest.

Sure enough, Grandpa Yamashita was sitting inside drinking tea and relaxing.

A trivial matter like cleaning up the mess did not require him, the head of the craftsmen, to personally do it.

Of course, if there really was a problem that required him to return to work, then he naturally would not let it go!

"Grandpa Yamashita, I'm here to see you."

"Oh, it's little Aoba. Come and sit down and have a cup of tea. This is a good thing that the Hokage sama has bestowed upon you, consider yourself lucky!"

When the old man Yamashita saw that Aoba really came to find him, he was stunned for a moment and then greeted him happily.

People like him who were old liked to be lively and especially liked children. It seemed that when he saw these young and inexperienced seedlings, it was as if he saw himself in the past.

Aoba was not an outsider. There was no need to be polite. When interacting with an old man, he needed to be more at ease. Moreover, the more casual he was, the happier the old man would be.

In short, it was just one sentence, let eat, drink, and patiently listen to the other person's words. It was a hundred tries!

Sure enough, the more Yamashita looked at Aoba, the more he liked him. Not only did he take out a lot of delicious food to entertain him, but he also opened the chatbox and boasted about his past experiences.

Aoba was not in a hurry to express his purpose as soon as he came up. He was patient to talk to the old man, and most of the time he was a quiet listener or a quiet foodie.

Soon, an hour passed.

Aoba also felt that it was about time, so he took advantage of the time when Yamashita was tired and drinking tea to express his interest in carving and wanted to ask for some skills.

Yamashita didn't think that he was there. Instead, his face was red and he looked at him with admiration. Then, he took the initiative to take a few stones and a full set of tools that he usually used to practice. He was ready to teach him a lesson.

After all, it was rare to meet a child who was interested in his craft. Moreover, he also liked Aoba very much, so he naturally didn't mind being a Sensei.

If Aoba, this child, showed talent in carving, he wanted to take him as a disciple and nurture him well.

Just like this, one was teaching seriously, and the other was studying seriously.

Soon, Aoba mastered a certain trick and became a beginner. He also carved out a small person under the guidance of Yamashita's old man, although it was a bit too horrible to look at.

"It's okay. diligence can make up for the loss. Just practice more. As a beginner, you have already done very well."

As if seeing that Aoba was a little depressed, Yamashita's old man could not help but gently comfort him.

At the same time, the old man sighed in his heart. It was rare to have such a good child who was interested in carving. Unfortunately, his talent was really ordinary.

Although it was a pity, the old man gave up on the idea of taking him in as a disciple.

"Grandpa Yamashita, can you lend me some tools? I want to try it a few more times when I go home." Aoba, who quickly walked out of the 'depression', said stubbornly.

Seeing this scene, the old man Yamashita nodded in comfort and agreed very readily, "No problem. I have a lot of tools here. I will arrange a set for you in a while. When you leave, take it back. Remember to practice well."

"Thank you, Grandpa Yamashita. That..."

"If you have any other questions, say them all at once."

Therefore, under the encouraging eyes of the old man Yamashita, Aoba looked forward to it and said with some embarrassment, "Can I go to the Hokage Rock these few days to see what everyone is doing?"

Yamashita was stunned for a moment as if he did not expect Aoba to make such a request.

Although it was not troublesome if there was an accident...

"The work of carving has already ended. Even if you go up now, you won't see anything. Moreover, our line of work hates to bite off more than you can chew. It won't be too late for you to study such a large carving after you have built a foundation." Old man Yamashita earnestly advised.

"I am not aiming too high... I just want to see it and broaden my horizons. One day, I will personally carve my appearance on it. I am the future 5th generation Hokage that even the Hokage-sama has acknowledged!"

Holding back the feeling of wanting to vomit, Aoba was especially excited, his little face flushed red.

Of course, it might also be because of shame...

In order to complete the mission issued by the dog system, was it easy for him?

However, this melodramatic declaration still had a proper effect. At least, the way the old man Yamashita looked at him had changed.

The old man Yamashita seriously pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "It's not impossible, but you have to promise to follow the rules, and be obedient. You can do whatever you want you to do, but you can't touch things you can't touch. If you can do it, I can let you go up."

'Success!'

Aoba held back his excitement and nodded fiercely.

Up until now, everything had gone smoothly!

Not only had he learned the basic knowledge of carving, but he had also obtained the carving tool. He had also successfully left behind the seed of 'I want to personally carve myself on the Hokage Rock'. After the mission was successful, Yamashita's grandfather's testimony was very important and could help him relieve a lot of pressure.

In the end, he had successfully convinced Yamashita's grandfather to allow him to openly ascend the Fire Shadow Rock.

With this layer of identity as a cover, the success rate of the mission increased by a large margin!

Combined with the preparations he had made before...

Aoba could not help but have a flash in his eyes. He seemed to have seen victory waving at him.

Of course, he could not be happy too early, let alone in a hurry. He had to act obediently for two days so that everyone would get used to his existence first!
