Chapter 128: Showmanship
After saying goodbye to Junmaro, Conan ran all the way out of the village.
Soon Conan saw the ninja army team of Konoha returning to the village, and saw that the team of hundreds of people was lined up in an orderly long line, slowly marching.
According to the meaning of the three generations, today this team needs to go around Konoha in a whole circle, in order to boost the morale of the villagers and cover up the sadness caused by the war.
"Conan, you're finally here, and I said if I want the team to stop and wait for you." Jiraiya, who was at the front of the line, laughed and said.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiraiya, I've been delayed for something."
"It's okay, you're just in time." Jiraiya glanced back at the orderly team and continued, "Since you're here, it's time for me to leave too." ”
"Huh? Teacher Jiraiya, what are you doing here? ”
"Haha, don't you understand, a large part of today's ceremony is actually prepared for you, I've heard the teacher say that you are about to become the fifth Hokage, hahaha, I can't be proud of the thought of having taught two Hokage from under my hands."
"But" Conan always felt a little uncomfortable, because he had given up the honor that should have belonged to him
"Let's go with you, even if you are there, it won't be in the way, it makes no difference."
Zilai also waved his hand: "How can it be the same, I am with you not only to share your aura, but there may also be people who use my qualifications to interfere with your popularity, I am already past the age of chasing these false names, these things are a drag on me." ”
"Jiraiya-sensei" Conan behaved a little lowly.
"Don't be embarrassed Conan, the credit you have made is obvious to everyone, and it is expected that you will lead the team, and besides, I have experienced this scene I don't know how many times I have experienced World War II, and I have gone all the way through World War III without feeling"
Speaking of this, Jilai also fell into memories: "Time flies so fast, at that time the teacher was still young, and Orochimaru had not become bad yet, and Tsunade, I still remember the way he beat me before departure, haha and Shuimen, he also had the same expression as you back then, and he had to pull me with him in life and death, and I remember that I said a word to him at the beginning, and now I will pass this sentence to you." ”
Jiraiya lowered his head and looked at Conan's eyes seriously: "Don't feel that you have taken away the glory that should belong to me, you know, for a teacher, the thing that can make him feel the glory the most is undoubtedly to cultivate an excellent disciple, as my disciple, Conan, every glory you have achieved is also my glory, do you understand?" ”
"Jiraiya-sensei" Conan's heart swelled with emotion.
"Work hard, Conan, the future of Konoha is up to you, and you must become an amazing Hokage." Jiraiya smiled and gave a thumbs up.
"I won't let you down, Mr. Jiraiya." Conan also responded firmly to Jiraiya.
"Well, Conan, I believe in you, go ahead, hold your head high, show your handsome side, and smesmerize those beautiful girls to the ground."
"This"
When he walked to the front of the village, Conan suddenly stopped, he had always been fearless, he was inexplicably nervous at the moment, and it was not ordinary nervousness, Conan put his hand on his chest, he could clearly feel his heart beating violently, this feeling
After a moment of silence, Conan stepped forward resolutely.
"Since you have chosen to be this hero, then I will definitely take on this responsibility, Mr. Jiraiya, I will not let you down."
"Hum-" As Conan led the team into Konoha as he poured water into a boiling oil pot, the entire village boiled.
"Look, look, the one at the front is Lord Conan!"
"Is that Lord Conan, he is younger than the children I added, I didn't expect him to be such a powerful character."
"I could tell Conan when he was a kid that he was going to have such a day."
"Conan-senpai I love you"
Conan had a gentle smile on his face, constantly greeting the people on both sides of the road, and occasionally gently giving a few words of encouragement to the children who adored him, but it didn't take long for Conan to find that this was not a good errand, and soon Conan's smiling face stiffened.
"Bastard, that guy wouldn't have expected such a scene, would he?"
In the crowd, Naruto was pouting with envy on his face, staring at Conan who was walking in the front.
"Boss, this is too showy, such a thing is not even called me."
Speaking of this, Naruto looked at Iruka unhappily: "Iruka-sensei, why didn't the three generations of old men let me participate, obviously I also went to the battlefield, and I also fought with the Thunder Shadow, but I didn't let me participate, it's too unfair." ”
Iruka looked at Conan in the crowd with a smile on his face, and casually explained to Naruto: "Because the people who participate in this ceremony must make a meritorious contribution, you are a little shinobi, of course it will not be your turn." ”
"What, I almost lost my life on the battlefield, isn't there any credit for this?"
Looking at Naruto's envious expression, Iruka sighed silently, originally Naruto could also participate, but he was not arranged to play because he was worried that he would be excluded by the villagers, in case he interfered with Conan because of something else, it would be even worse, if he wanted to get honor, it would be much more difficult than ordinary people.
"Naruto, redouble your efforts, when you can stand at the front of the crowd when you do something as great as Conan."
"Hmph, you don't need to say that I will, I will definitely surpass the boss, and when the time comes, I must impress everyone with me."
"Well, I believe in you, teacher, I'll encourage you by inviting you to eat ramen later."
"Oh! Thank you, Iruka-sensei. ”
In front of the Hokage Building, the three generations are waiting for the return of the heroes with everyone.
Seeing Conan's unusual popularity from a distance, the three generations couldn't help but smile, everything was as planned, so that Conan's matter of being the Hokage would be even more expected, and age would no longer be a problem.
Tuan Zang lowered his head gloomily, such a scene was what he dreamed of, but unfortunately, he was the root that could only survive in the dark, thinking of this, Tuan Zang's eyes were full of killing intent.
