Finding ways to reduce the impact now is the first priority!
This is the consensus of many ninjas. After all, the prisoner has been caught and there is no possibility of escaping. What he wants to do with him later is just a matter of words.
So they were all busy explaining to the villagers and trying to persuade them to leave.
At the same time, someone came to the Hokage Rock statue with the red cloth that had been removed before, like flying over the wall, covering all the places next to the Yondaime, and also covering the 'Fifth Generation Statue' that made the eyes spit fire. !
Presumably, this fig leaf will not be removed until the place is completely smoothed.
The old man Yamashita and other craftsmen were stunned, blowing their beards and staring at Qingyu who had done all this!
Especially Mr. Yamashita!
It’s hard to mention how complicated and sour the mood was!
He never thought that the problem was not with the Yondaime statue, but with the 'empty' rock wall next to it!
Although Qingyu had told him before that he would carve his own head on it, at that time he regarded it as a child's longing and dream, and he just smiled and didn't take it to heart.
But who would have thought that this little bastard not only took it seriously, but actually did it!
And it was done secretly under their noses!
It's a pity that these people have been checking for so many days, but they haven't found anything yet. They are really embarrassed.
Also feeling annoyed was the craftsman who had discovered something strange before.
It turned out that it was true that the rock wall moved, and he was not dazzled!
But even he didn't realize that there was actually a fake rock wall glued with cloth...
Maybe this is the charm of art.
. . . . . . . . . .
At the same time, the major accident that happened here was conveyed to Minato's ears by the ANBU almost immediately.
"What? Someone secretly carved his own head next to it and left such a sentence? Are you sure?"
Even though Minato was well-educated, he was also stunned at this moment, showing an expression of disbelief.
"Yes, but Mikawa Jonin has captured the criminal, and now others are trying their best to appease the villagers and reduce the negative impact of this incident."
"Shinomiya Qingyu...why is it him again?"
Minato felt that he had a severe headache at the moment, and he even wondered if this name was incompatible with him!
From the day he took over as Hokage, this little bastard gave himself a 'power-up', and then provoked the Uchiha, and then offered the medicinal bath formula to regain some impression points, but now...
"Kakashi, what do you think I should do with him?"
Standing in front of Minato at this time, Kakashi, wearing an ANBU mask, said without hesitation: "It is a felony to privately destroy Hokage Rock. It is recommended that you be imprisoned or exiled directly."
Kakashi's attitude is very clear, that is, severe punishment without mercy!
As for the other party's age, it was not within his consideration at all.
If you offend the Hokage, he will never forgive you for this alone!
When Minato heard this answer, he didn't think it was an exception at all. First, the death of White Fang, and then the deaths of Obito and Lin. This series of blows completely made Kakashi become a different person, even more... He is withdrawn and indifferent, even more ruthless, and puts the ninja code and completing tasks in an absolute position.
It was also in order for Kakashi to get over the blow again that he arranged for him to join the ANBU, and transferred him to his side, training him as his right-hand man, hoping that he could forget these pains.
But looking at it now, everything was too hasty. Although Kakashi had changed a little when he entered the ANBU life, his indifference of not being near strangers was still too strong.
"Is this punishment too severe? After all, it's just a prank played by a child. You were responsible for re-investigating his past experience. You should know that children who have been hit by sudden changes will do many things after coming to a strange environment. Something out of the ordinary, but essentially just a cover-up to seek attention and love.”
"In addition, I think the impact of this incident may not be that bad. The last incident was solved very well. The villagers didn't take it to heart. Instead, there were many more people who shouted loudly that they wanted to be Hokage. Good boy."
"The village hasn't been this vibrant for a long time, since the war started."
As expected, Minato didn't seem to take the matter as serious as it was.
Moreover, the punishment of imprisonment and exile is indeed a bit too cruel for a child who is not yet at school age.
As a teacher + Hokage, Minato said so, what else could Kakashi do but remain silent.
But how to punish Qingyu and calm the anger of the villagers is also a big problem. It won't work if it's too light, and it won't work if it's too heavy. Therefore, Minato has a headache and can only let it go first.
"Go and bring the people back. I will handle this matter myself."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
It didn't take long for the dark-faced Mikawa Jonin to carry the anxious Aoba all the way into the Hokage's office.
"Hokage-sama, the culprit has been brought. In addition, please be punished by Hokage-sama. I betrayed the trust of the Sandaime-sama and you, and that is why he got into such a big trouble. I have to bear the main responsibility for this matter."
As soon as he entered the door, Mikawa Jounin abandoned Aoyu and took over most of the responsibilities with a serious look.
Although his heart couldn't bear the anger, he would not really sit idly by and ignore it out of responsibility.
This is a real man!
Qingyu said firmly: "Hokage-sama, the whole thing is my fault alone and has nothing to do with Mikawa Jonin. In the end, Mikawa Jonin tried to stop me. He tried his best."
Even if he is not a good person, he will not do anything so bad as to implicate a person who truly cares about him for his own sake. This is his bottom line.
So it's okay to plead for him, just take the responsibility.
In addition, he is quite sure that his life will not be in danger. As long as his life can be saved, then this attempt to commit suicide will be a success!
But he didn't know that his words, "Mikawa Jonin has tried his best," only made Mikawa Jonin's face darker, and he was on the verge of irritation that could strangle him to death at any time!
"You damn well know that I tried my best to stop you! Why do you do this when you know it will cause big trouble!" Mikawa roared loudly in his heart!
And the words 'you've tried your best' sounded really heartbreaking, making him even more depressed.
Minato, on the other hand, looked at the two men performing 'father's kindness and son's filial piety' with a very interested expression. He really didn't take Qingyu's trouble this time seriously. In his opinion, it was not a big deal. Yeah, it's not like destroying the statues of past Hokage, that would be called a big accident!
