In Naruto, the more harems you have, the stronger you are.

"Besides, the view is very wide, and there are several petrified mountains. Standing on the mountains, we can see the details of our competition clearly. It is very suitable for everyone to watch together. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Aoki's eyes narrowed.

He suddenly felt a little confused about Li Fan.

He even deliberately chose a place suitable for everyone to watch.

Isn't he afraid that he would suffer a crushing defeat and lose face even faster?

Although he was confused, Qingmu did not hesitate at all. He laughed heartily and said:

"Of course, shall we go now?"

After saying this, Aoki stepped forward and made a "please" gesture.

The people around were surprised.

They never expected that Aoki, the senior ninja, would be so particular about etiquette and manners, which gradually changed their views of Aoki.

Perhaps, Aoki's brilliance was previously suppressed by the brilliance of the Third Kazekage?

Just like under the sun, no matter how bright the fire is, it cannot compare to the sun.

But after the sun sets, the neglected brilliant fire shines brightly.

And now, the sun has fallen.

The flame of Qingmu was no longer moderate as before, but began to emit blazing flames?

Aoki felt the change in the way people around him looked at him, and he laughed secretly in his heart, feeling secretly proud of himself.

This is the best solution I came up with after thinking about it all night.

It can show your magnanimity and your composure.

Now it seems that the plan I had thought of so hard was indeed correct!

"Hmph, you're being pretentious!"

In a building not far away, Hongyue, with her arms crossed over her chest, saw Qingmu acting like this. She immediately became dissatisfied and snorted coldly.

Next to Hongyue, Le Man, who had just rushed over from Li Fan and had an eagle mask on her face and a plump figure, heard this and nodded in agreement:

"It's really disgusting. I don't know where Aoki learned these things from. They look weird."

The dozen or so shadow guards around the two of them, all wearing windbreakers and masks of various colors, heard what they said.

They looked at each other, and then remained silent.

"Let's go, they're moving, let's follow them."

"Remember, if Aoki shows any unusual behavior, go together and subdue him right away!"

The ninjas were very fast, especially since the weakest of those present were all Chunins.

It was only a distance of 40 kilometers, but it was reached in less than ten minutes.

Li Fan stood on the sunken desert ground, and Qingmu stood opposite him, with a distance of one hundred meters between them.

The surrounding area is a mixture of sand and stones, with sand dunes rising tens of meters.

The sand dunes were full of people.

Except for the people brought by Li Fan and Qingmu, and the obvious members of the Shadow Guard.

There are also a large number of Chunin and Jonin that Li Fan is familiar or unfamiliar with.

These ninjas stood on the sand dunes, each of them looking at the two people below with a serious expression.

The many ninjas who chose to come here to watch the battle were all aware that the Third Kazekage had mysteriously disappeared for a day and a half.

Under this premise, the winner between the two people below will most likely become the Fourth Kazekage in the near future.

If you look from the sky.

You will find that outside the sand dunes there are a large number of densely packed black spots, at least hundreds of them, moving rapidly towards this side.

These black spots are all Sand Ninjas who only learned the news in the morning and rushed over in a hurry for various reasons.

Aoki crossed his arms over his chest, feeling the dense, complex gazes from the sand dunes above.

He felt extremely satisfied, and then smiled at Li Fan:

"Shall we begin?"

Li Fan also crossed his arms and the breeze blew gently over him.

Li Fan's black robe immediately fluttered in the wind, looking extremely stylish.

"Wait a little longer, there are still many people who haven't come yet."

Qing Mu laughed triumphantly. He raised his head slightly and looked at the dense black shadows above him:

"You are so confident. If you are defeated miserably, you may not even have the chance to become the Fifth Kazekage in twenty years."

Li Fan raised his eyebrows slightly and laughed softly:

"Aoki-sama is so confident that he can defeat me, and that he can safely serve as the Kazekage for more than 20 years?"

"Shut up, you're so arrogant!"

The author says:

Author's note: Fighting is too troublesome. I would rather write about the color directly, but without any foreshadowing, I can't write about the color directly.

Chapter 16 You Don't Deserve It

After saying this, Aoki's eyes widened and his short, thick eyebrows twitched constantly.

It was obvious that Li Fan's words irritated him.

Aoki had been trying hard to avoid this kind of problem before, trying to hypnotize himself that being a Kazekage was much better than being a Jonin.

But now that the day has finally come, facing Li Fan as a competitor.

He suddenly realized that he was actually a little scared!

He was afraid of what would happen if he became the Kazekage.

Just like the first and second generations, they will die in battle against other powerful enemies!

He was even more afraid that one day when he was safely serving as the Wind Shadow, he would be suddenly found and killed by a mysterious enemy.

Just like the third generation, even the body has not been found.

It's as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth, as if this person had never existed in this world!

The more he experienced war, the more he feared it. Aoki originally thought that he would move forward courageously, but now he found that he was afraid of the upcoming war!

Li Fan looked at Qingmu expressionlessly.

He shook his head slowly. This Aoki did not have enough awareness to take on the role of Kazekage.

Even the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, who has the worst reputation among Naruto fans, is willing to give everything for the Sand Village.

Whether it's sacrificing Ye Cang, or transplanting the One-Tail into Gaara's body, or taking the risk personally to launch the Konoha collapse plan with little chance of success.

Although the results were not very good.

But the original intention was also for the Sand Village.

As for Aoki in front of him, Li Fan could not see the kind of awareness of sacrificing everything for the Sand Village.

Even though Li Fan himself couldn't do that.

But at the very least, he will serve the Sand Village wholeheartedly, and he is confident that he can do dozens of times better than Aoki!

Thinking of this, Li Fan looked directly into Qingmu's eyes and spoke word by word:

"It seems that you simply want power, but you are not aware enough to take on the responsibility of the Kazekage."

"You are not worthy of being the Kazekage."

"What nonsense are you talking about? How dare you, a little brat who has never experienced war, question my awareness and qualifications?!"

Hearing this, Aoki's anger and fear, which he had tried hard to suppress, were instantly overwhelmed by greater anger and pride.

He stretched out his rough left hand and patted his chest hard.

"At the end of World War I, I went to the battlefield myself, braving the stench and various risks to collect the bodies of my compatriots. I was only five years old at the time, and you were not even born yet!"

"When World War II just started, I personally led a team deep behind enemy lines and personally cut off their retreat, killing ten Chunins and two Jonins!"

At this point, Aoki raised his head and stretched out his arms, looking at the people on the surrounding sand dunes, and said in a hoarse voice:

"That's why I was personally awarded the title of Jonin by the then Second Kazekage. I was only seventeen years old at that time! You were not even born at that time!"

"You who were born in the late stages of World War II, tell me, am I qualified to take on the responsibility of Kazekage, am I qualified to lead the Sand Village?!"

There was silence on the dunes.

A large number of young ninjas stared at Aoki with a ferocious expression with wide eyes, as if this was the first time they knew Aoki, a senior ninja.

The older middle and jonin who had experienced World War II looked at Aoki with wide eyes and excited expressions.

They seemed to see a new sun!

Then they couldn't wait to look at Li Fan, wanting to see if this young man's face was filled with shame, or if he would even say that he would voluntarily withdraw!

But unfortunately, they only saw that Li Fan had a calm expression.

Li Fan had a trace of helplessness on his face, and he shook his head slowly:

"So what? At the end of World War I, there were already very few men in the Sand Village. I've seen the documents. The Second Kazekage had just taken office at that time, and he ordered all boys over the age of five to go to the battlefield to collect corpses."

This is an order, yet you imply that you are going there voluntarily."

"Of course it may be a long time ago, and you may have misremembered it, but I remember that there are still several copies of the documents from that time in the document room, and the originals are also preserved."

Hearing this, the ninjas on the sand dunes were all stunned.

They never imagined that the truth behind what Aoki said so passionately would be like this!

But since Li Fan said this, it should be true.

Because they can go to the document room at any time to find information to verify Li Fan's statement.

Aoki was stunned.

Originally, he was bragging like that because several decades had passed and there weren't many ninjas left who had participated in World War I.

Even for the ninjas who have survived to this day, their memories are already somewhat blurred, and they will not speak out their doubts directly.

But he never expected that Li Fan had actually gone to the document room to look through the information at that time.

He thought these young people would not like going to the document room.

Of course Li Fan had never been to the document room.

But all these things were noted in the Aoki information that Hongyue presented yesterday.

Everything that Aoki has done from his childhood to the present, as long as their Shadow Guard can find out, is recorded in it.

Hongyue also wrote down her own opinions at the back.

Just as Qing Mu was about to continue speaking, Li Fan spoke first:

"I admit that you did go deep behind enemy lines during World War II and personally cut off their retreat and killed two jonin, but are you the only one who has such a record?"

"Besides, I wasn't born at that time. If the Third World War were to come right now, I could also do this, and I would be several times better than you!"

All his inner thoughts were exposed, and Aoki couldn't think of any way to refute them for a moment.

He suddenly became furious and roared so loudly that the sound could be heard several kilometers away!

"You bastard! How dare you insult me like this!!"

"Do you think you can defeat me by deliberately provoking me and making me angry?"

Aoki didn't care whether the crowd had gathered or not. He pulled his left hand behind him, and all the scrolls on his back floated into the air!

With a "bang", thick fog floated out from the scroll.

In less than half a second, the scroll in the air and Aoki himself all disappeared in the thick smoke!

Li Fan looked at the thick fog in front of him. He moved his left hand slightly, but then immediately let go.
