Aoba had been carefully watching everyone's whereabouts. Therefore, when soone looked at the rock wall in that direction and made a surprised sound, his whole body imdiately tensed up. He was worried about being discovered. At the sa ti, his head also began to overload. He was thinking about how to make up for it if he was really discovered.
"What's wrong? What did you find?"
Sure enough, the soft exclamation just now attracted the people's attention next to him.
After hesitating for a mont, the man said, "I think I saw a rock wall fluctuating a few tis like water over there just now..."
"Huh? There's such a thing? Could it be that you were mistaken? How could the rock wall move? Let see..."
"Aiya!"
At this critical mont, a scream was heard!
The craftsn who were attracted by this scream all turned their heads to look. Only then did they realize that Aoba, this kid, had sohow almost fallen off the hanging board. Now, he held the hanging board tightly with both hands, looking extrely dangerous.
"Not good, quickly save him!"
"Inform the people below, quickly put the hanging board down!"
Everyone beca nervous, including the two people who noticed sothing strange.
The two of them did not have the ti to observe the rock wall. Only when Aoba was safely saved did they let out a sigh of relief.
"Let's go. We will go down too. That brat Aoba is really good at causing trouble. He almost caused big trouble!"
"But..."
"I also took a look just now. The rock wall didn't move at all! I think you drank too much last night, so your eyes were blurred."
"... Maybe my eyes were really blurred."
The man looked at the rock wall again and found nothing unusual, so he stopped struggling and finished his work with the people around him and went down.
After seeing this scene, Aoba, who had safely landed, breathed a sigh of relief. It was really dangerous that he almost wasted all his efforts!
However, it was too early for him to be happy!
He had just received the big guy's concern and education when Yamashita, the old man who had rushed over after hearing the news, scolded him.
If anything happened to him, his conscience would be uneasy for the rest of his life!
Aoba also knew that he was in the wrong. Moreover, Yamashita, the old man, was so concerned about Aoba that he did not dare say anything. He just lowered his head and listened quietly.
As he cursed and cursed, Yamashita finally cald down. "Since there's nothing else, you can go back. You don't have to co tomorrow. You just have to practice your skills at ho."
"Ah?"
Aoba was dumbfounded. If he was not allowed to co tomorrow, how could he keep an eye on these guys? Today, he had successfully escaped because of him. If anyone were curious tomorrow, it would be completely exposed.
So he imdiately beca anxious!
"Don't. I won't go up anymore, okay? The curtain will be covered tomorrow. I want to see it."
"Hmph, you can only watch from the bottom. Do you hear ?" Yamashita was still soft-hearted and reluctantly agreed.
On the other hand, Aoba was a little depressed. The sa move might not work again, but if he did not see it with his own eyes, he would not be able to do anything else.
Therefore, this was the only way.
....
The next day, Aoba arrived at the bottom of the HokageRock as usual and watched the craftsn do the final inspection.
The guy who almost made him fail the mission yesterday was the target he was focused on!
Whenever soone approached the smooth rock wall, his heart would imdiately jump up.
Fortunately, yesterday was indeed an exception. No one paid attention to the place he chose. The focus of his observation was on the completed statue of Yondai.
The guy from yesterday seed to really think that he was seeing things. He did not investigate further.
As a result, good luck replaced bad luck. The last inspection passed!
Aoba looked at a huge red curtain covering the statue of Yondai from top to bottom and finally felt relieved.
As for the rest, it would depend on tomorrow's unveiling ceremony!
However, after causing such big trouble, Yamashita and Mikawa should not be able to protect him and could only depend on the mood of the Hokage-Sama.
Speaking of which, Minato should be in a good mood recently. After all, he was soone who was going to be a father, so he would not lower himself to the level of a child.
In the end, the more uneasy Aoba felt, the more he could only comfort himself like this.
...
On this day.
The statue of Minato had already been carved and was covered with a layer of red curtains.
Before the scheduled ti reached ten o'clock, many villagers spontaneously went to the vicinity of the Hokage Rock with warm smiles, ready to witness this glorious mont.
Although they could see it every day during the process of carving, it was the first ti they had seen the complete picture.
And what was important was this atmosphere. This was the spiritual symbol!
Although the number of people who ca this ti was not as many as the last ti Minato took over the Hokage ceremony, there were at least a few hundred people, including so ninjas who happened to have ti to attend the ceremony.
This included the hot-blooded Guy and Mikawa, who had just finished the task and returned yesterday.
In the crowd of civilians, Mikawa also saw Aoba, who was peeking his head and sighing.
As if sensing that soone was staring at him, Aoba could not help but look left and right, and then he saw the serious face of Mikawa.
At the thought of what he was going to do next, Aoba imagined the dark expression on Mikawa's face. Therefore, after forcing a stiff laugh twice, he did not hesitate to shrink his body and directly drilled into the crowd and disappeared.
For so reason, Mikawa suddenly felt a strong sense of foreboding, "Is that bastard going to make trouble again?"
Suddenly, this thought appeared in his mind, and it beca more and more intense, lingering!
"Don't scare yourself! No, it's just an unveiling ceremony. What can that bastard do..."
Mikawa's sudden nervousness imdiately eased a little, but a sense of unease still surrounded him.
"No! I have to keep an eye on him!"
However, just as Mikawa and Jonin had made up their minds to find Aoba and keep an eye on him the entire ti, the ti for the opening happened to arrive.
"Begin!"
Following Yamashita's command, he led the craftsn to pull the veil down!
The huge red cloth instantly fell down, revealing Yondai's statue that was hidden inside!
It had to be said that every generation of Hokage statues could be called art, and it was remarkably lifelike!
Even Mikawa, who was just about to start moving, was attracted by this scene.
