As for Rikuya, although both siblings were very optimistic about Rikuya's talent.
But based on Rikuya's previous appearance, plus the fact that he is only 23 years old.
It might take a few more years for him to become one of the top five people in the village.
So their idea at that time was to postpone the coming war as long as possible.
It would be better to wait until Rikuya's strength grew another year or two before letting him become the fourth Kazekage.
But now it seems that Rikuya was so reckless in agreeing to Aoki's request to compete.
No matter how Rikuya didn't see the meaning of winning or losing behind this competition request.
Or maybe he saw it, but still accepted it because of his pride.
This all means that Rikuya may not be qualified enough to become Kazekage.
At this point, Ebizo sighed slightly:
"Besides, Rikuya is still young, 23 years old. He has lived in the village for most of the year and has not been on many missions."
Chiyo was silent for a moment, then raised her head slightly and looked at the woman standing still in the middle of the room:
"Benizuki, go and watch their match tomorrow. Once the results are out, let us know immediately."
The graceful woman wearing a rabbit mask, Benizuki, heard it.
Even though he was wearing a mask, his dark eyes revealed doubt.
Seeing him hesitate to move, Chiyo immediately understood what was going on and said in a soft voice:
"Don't worry, we two old men won't die. I can't say anything else, but we can still protect ourselves in the village. Besides, the person who killed the Third Kazekage must have escaped long ago."
"As the vice-commander of the Shadow Guard who is directly under the Kazekage, it is time for you to go and meet the future commander of the Shadow Guard."
Hearing this, Benizuki, the deputy commander of the Shadow Guard, nodded silently.
He nodded slightly to the two old men in front of him, then disappeared in the blink of an eye.
As shadow guards directly under the Kazekage, they always obey the Kazekage's orders.
But now the Third Kazekage has mysteriously disappeared for a day and has most likely been killed.
Since the Fourth Kazekage had yet to be chosen, the Shadow Guard would naturally obey Chiyo and Ebizo's orders for the time being.
But even so, he was the vice commander of the personal guard who was directly under the Kazekage.
When Benizuki met and said goodbye to Chiyo and Ebizo, he only had to nod slightly. This was one of the privileges of the Kazekage Guard.
After Benizuki left, the room fell into silence.
Less than half an hour later a conversation was heard in the room.
"Brother, although Aoki likes to play tricks and has a bad temper, he doesn't have an overall view, let alone foresight."
"But war is coming soon. I think it would be better if someone stronger became Kazekage."
Then, Chiyo's words echoed in the room:
"Hey, why didn't Rikuya refuse the sparring match? At least there was still hope to salvage the situation."
"Let's put it this way. If Rikuya can hold out against Aoki for ten minutes, then we must leave the Kazekage position empty for a year, even if it means sacrificing our reputation."
"Sis, if it's ten minutes, I can't do fifty moves."
"Then, let Aoki become the Fourth Kazekage. As for that child, let him become an advisor. He is still young and has plenty of time."
"Besides, Aoki isn't the only one who wants to become Jonin Kazekage."
"But he was the first to dare to jump out and compete with Rikuya and slap us in the face. From this point of view, Aoki is quite brave and resourceful."
Meanwhile, the Third Kazekage has been missing for a day.
And there was a good chance he had been killed.
The news had mysteriously spread to the ears of all the senior Chunin and above ninja in the village.
Before the ninjas could feel shocked and sad.
Not long after, news that Rikuya would be competing with Jonin Aoki reached their ears.
When these two things happen together, any ninja who isn't too stupid will understand the meaning behind it.
In an instant, a large number of Chunin who wanted to make progress had either purchased or were preparing to have someone send gifts to Jonin Aoki's house.
A large number of special Jonin also prepared gifts and rushed to Jonin Aoki's house in person.
The remaining official Jonin, except for those on good terms with Aoki, remained silent.
For these senior ninjas, they certainly know Aoki's weaknesses.
Even if Aoki does become Kazekage, he will probably only serve as a transitional figure for a few years.
What about Rikuya?
Most of the Sunagakure ninjas were pessimistic and thought that Rikuya was no match for Aoki.
They also realized Rikuya's potential, and perhaps in a few years Rikuya would surpass Aoki.
But currently, Rikuya, who is only 23 years old, is clearly no match for Aoki, a veteran Jonin and famous in the ninja world.
Rikuya walked slowly towards the house.
He nodded in response to the ninjas and civilians who greeted him out of basic courtesy.
The reactions of the ninjas and civilians around him were as if they were molded from the same mold; at first they were shocked, then flattered, and finally moved.
It's no wonder they made such a fuss.
The class divisions in Sunagakure Village are clear, and Sunagakure Ninja generally have a hot-tempered nature.
Very few people could be like Rikuya, nodding and returning greetings to everyone regardless of their status.
Ten minutes later, Rikuya returned to a house that looked both familiar and foreign.
He walked straight to the kitchen, then disappeared into the kitchen.
Currently, Rikuya is in a secret room seven meters underground.
He sat cross-legged on the stone bed and shook his head.
Rikuya really had no idea that this person, Rasa, was actually a patient with paranoid delusions.
In order to practice in peace, he deliberately bought a house with a secret underground room to live in.
Obviously, in the original storyline, he didn't see Rasa as having such tendencies towards paranoia.
However, when Rikuya thought about Rasa's supporting role in the original storyline, he felt relieved.
With such a short screen time, even if he had paranoid delusions, he didn't have time to show them.
Originally, Rikuya didn't need to bother deliberately entering this secret room, but he thought about it and felt that it was better to be careful just in case.
After Rikuya called the system, he said in his heart:
"Exchange for ten high-quality favorability fruits."
"Are you sure you want to spend thirty skill points to exchange for ten top-level favorability fruits?"
"Confirmation."
"Exchange successful, remaining 340 skill points."
Rikuya thought for a moment and said in his heart:
"Use two high-level favorability fruits on Tsunade!"
If you ask Rikuya who is the most impressive beautiful woman in the Naruto world.
That must be Tsunade.
Not only because she has more scenes in the storyline than other beautiful ninjas, but also because her breasts are too big.
When he thought of the two basketballs hanging from Tsunade's chest.
Rikuya, who was still a virgin, felt a little uneasy.
He had dreamed about Tsunade many times before and had tried many different positions, but he didn't expect it to come true this time.
He also didn't know about Tsunade's watermelon being bigger than her head in the anime.
How amazing it would be if you saw it in real life.
Before marriage, Rikuya was an honest man who silently endured the exploitation of the people's businessmen.
But he is not honest in his heart and has read all kinds of Hentai books.
As Rikuya was imagining how he would manipulate Tsunade in various positions in the future, the cold mechanical voice of the system interrupted his fantasy.
"Ding, use failed. This system does not work on characters that the user has never seen in the real world!"
Hearing the sound of failure and the sound of orders in his head.
Rikuya frowned slightly, and at the same time he immediately clenched his right hand and slapped his thigh hard!
Rikuya never expected this system to have such limitations!
That's what Rikuya thought.
The plan to increase the support of all high-ranking officials in the other four great ninja villages to the maximum had to be regrettably cancelled.
Initially, he planned to use this method to quickly pass through the five major ninja villages.
Of course, Rikuya would never admit it. What made him most angry was when his fantasy of remotely controlling Tsunade and having her come a thousand miles away to deliver him a gift was shattered.
After venting his emotions by punching his thigh, Rikuya continued to read silently:
"System, tell me all the limitations."
Two minutes later, Rikuya nodded slowly.
There are two main restrictions on all fruits exchanged in this system.
The first point is:
Rikuya cannot use the fruit if he has never seen the person in person.
For example, Tsunade, even though Rikuya knows Tsunade's name and appearance.
But he had never met Tsunade in person, so he couldn't use it on her.
But when they met in the real world, even though Rikuya was hundreds of meters away, he could only look at her from a distance.
Or if Tsunade just glanced at Rikuya, she could immediately use the fruit.
In other words, just one meeting is enough.
The second point is:
All the fruits produced by this system cannot work on men, nor can they work on women who appear to be over 40 years old.
For example, a woman whose actual age is forty-five.
But he looks like he's in his twenties or thirties, so it would suit him.
But that wouldn't work if he looked over forty.
After reading these terms, Rikuya heaved a sigh of relief.
The conditions for using this fruit were much looser than he had imagined, and the first point was very easy to solve.
As long as you increase your strength to a certain level, you can meet the woman at the place you want to put the fruit from a distance, although it is a bit troublesome.
The second point is no longer even an issue.
Rikuya himself is also a person who cares about appearance, and he also considers himself a very vulgar commoner.
She has no interest in getting the fruit of favorability from any man.
Instead, he became less interested in giving fruit to the aunties who looked like him.
Now that all the boundaries are clear, who are we going to spend these ten fruits on next?
Rikuya thought about it for a moment, but couldn't think of which woman he should use in real life, so he simply said to the system:
"System, do you have a complete list of all the women who meet the requirements for me to use this fruit?"
"User request detected, list is being created."
A few seconds later, a list immediately appeared in Rikuya's mind:
* Pakura, 21 years old, favorability 29
* Rei Yasha, 16 years old, favorability rating 18
* Wan, 17 years old, favorability 11
* ...
* ...
* Benizuki, 26 years old, favorability rating 10
* ...
* ...
* Le Man, 18 years old, favorability rating 7
* Jialuo, 20 years old, favorability rating 3
Seeing the ten short names, Rikuya's mouth twitched slightly. This list was too short.
Logically speaking, there were thousands of ninja in Sunagakure Village, and although there were fewer female ninja, there must be at least a thousand or several hundred.
