Chapter 54: The Hokage's Son! Is That All?
Being directly called ants, although angry,
looking at Aoyama Ryūun like this, not a single person dared to say more.
"Tch!"
Aoyama Ryūun became even more disdainful.
"Ryūun! You..."
Hatake Sakumo was a bit hesitant, after all, a ninja attacking civilians,
was not allowed in any ninja village.
But in the current situation, Hatake Sakumo felt as if he had no right to speak.
"Sakumo, you're too much of a coward!"
Aoyama Ryūun didn't care.
He said this directly to Hatake Sakumo.
Pointing the club in his hand at the surrounding villagers, he said,
"A bunch of idiots. If anyone dares to say one more word of gossip, just attack them. The great Konoha White Fang, are you afraid of a bunch of idiots!"
Being directly called idiots,
the surrounding villagers were all filled with indignation.
But looking at the street that had just been blasted into ruins,
they all cowered.
Encountering someone who really dared to attack, they didn't dare to gossip.
The nature of villagers, they clearly don't understand, yet they have to chime in.
When they really encounter trouble, they are scared to death.
"I..."
Hatake Sakumo felt helpless.
If it was really about strength, he wouldn't fear these ordinary people.
It's just that, due to his status as a ninja, Hatake Sakumo couldn't easily attack.
After all, not everyone was like Aoyama Ryūun,
unbridled and reckless.
Aoyama Ryūun didn't say more, just snorted contemptuously.
Then he looked to the other side, towards a certain direction in the crowd.
"Hey, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, where is that dog thing preparing to go?"
Seen by Aoyama Ryūun's gaze, those villagers moved away, clearing a path.
Only then did everyone notice,
Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who had been sent flying by Aoyama Ryūun earlier,
had gotten back on his feet at some unknown time.
He was leaning against the wall, preparing to slip away quietly.
Although he hated Aoyama Ryūun and Hatake Sakumo, Sarutobi Shinnosuke was not stupid.
Hatake Sakumo was fine, because Hatake Sakumo wouldn't really attack.
But with Aoyama Ryūun, the situation was different.
This guy, when he attacked, he really didn't hold back.
He had intended to slip away quietly while no one was paying attention.
But he didn't expect to be discovered.
"You... what are you doing? I am the Hokage's son!"
Being watched by Aoyama Ryūun's gaze,
Sarutobi Shinnosuke was instinctively afraid. While talking, he couldn't help but step back.
"Tch! Look at that cowardly appearance. Also the Hokage's son?"
Seeing Sarutobi Shinnosuke like this, Aoyama Ryūun sneered directly.
Even the villagers on the side, looking at Sarutobi Shinnosuke like this,
their gazes became strange.
This person, wasn't he the one shouting the loudest earlier?
"I..."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke naturally noticed the piercing gazes from those around him.
The reputation he had just built up was probably destroyed.
"Hatake Sakumo failed the mission! Can't I say it?"
Anyway, since it's already like this,
Sarutobi Shinnosuke insisted.
"Then I fail missions every day. Why don't you say anything about me?"
"You..."
Of course it's because you're afraid I'll beat you!
Aoyama Ryūun often failed missions, and the reasons for failure were mostly Aoyama Ryūun's fault.
There were people in Konoha who knew about this.
But no one dared to say it.
Why? Of course, because Aoyama Ryūun was strong enough.
Reckless enough, Aoyama Ryūun even dared to beat up the Konoha elders. Who would dare say a word?
"You dog thing, you're pissing me off!"
As he spoke, Aoyama Ryūun appeared directly in front of Sarutobi Shinnosuke.
He grabbed Sarutobi Shinnosuke by the hair and threw him in front of Hatake Sakumo.
"Sakumo's mission failed, wasn't it to save you? You dog thing, what right do you have to shout?"
"So what? He could have chosen not to save me!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke yelled.
In Sarutobi Shinnosuke's view, he definitely wouldn't be in trouble in the end.
That persona must be maintained.
"Heh!"
Aoyama Ryūun laughed.
"Go die!"
Since you're asking for death, then don't blame me.
Noticing Aoyama Ryūun's ferocious smile and the motion of grabbing his club,
Sarutobi Shinnosuke started to panic.
"You... what are you doing!"
Those villagers who originally supported Sarutobi Shinnosuke,
at this moment, couldn't help but frown.
The Hokage's son? He's too much of a coward!
"Didn't you want to die? I'll satisfy you!"
"Wait! You can't attack me! I am the Hokage's son!"
Seeing Aoyama Ryūun's stance, ready to attack, Sarutobi Shinnosuke immediately chickened out.
Especially when the shadow of the club appeared over Sarutobi Shinnosuke's head.
At this moment, reputation and all that, Sarutobi Shinnosuke didn't want it anymore.
He only hoped to live.
*Bang!*
Under Sarutobi Shinnosuke's terrified gaze,
the club came down.
Only, it didn't smash onto Sarutobi Shinnosuke's body, but smashed onto the ground beside him.
The ground cracked.
It wasn't hard to imagine, if that had hit Sarutobi Shinnosuke's body,
he would probably be dead beyond dead.
"!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke, having survived the disaster, felt like his soul was about to ascend.
"Yo! You pissed yourself!"
Aoyama Ryūun, shouldering his club again,
said with a smile, as if he just noticed.
That's right, Sarutobi Shinnosuke had pissed himself in fear.
This scene, the surrounding crowd also saw it very clearly.
"I..."
He didn't know what to say.
Compared to being embarrassed, Sarutobi Shinnosuke wanted to live even more.
"What exactly are you doing!"
At this moment, Sarutobi Shinnosuke's fear of Aoyama Ryūun was mixed with deep jealousy and hatred.
This brute in front of him really dared to attack.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke just wanted to quickly get away from this place of trouble.
If he had known, he wouldn't have come.
