Hokage that started as a commoner ninja

Chapter 28 Awarded for meritorious service
Kato off woke up the next morning.

On a lawn near Konoha Hospital, Kato Duan was exercising his body.Not far away, Mu En and Tsunade watched helplessly, and the persuasion was useless.

I have to admire the strength of the ninja's vitality and the magic of medical ninjutsu.He had just woken up, and Kato Duan was already able to move normally. It was hard to believe that this was a person who had been lying in a coma for more than ten days and did not wake up until yesterday.

"Duan, let's stop here today! You haven't recovered yet, you still need to rest more now, and you will have time in the future." Tsunade walked over and said with concern while Kato Duan stopped.

"I feel that my body is the same as before, except that the consumption of Chakra is a bit more." Kato Duan thought for a while and then said, "I don't know what will happen if I use the Spiritualization Technique?"

"Teacher Duan, I still need to clarify some things to you." Mu En ignored Tsunade and glared at her, and continued, "Your body cannot be the same as before. In essence, your kidneys are just simulated by my chakra, and they are still very different from solid organs."

"The biggest difference is that it is unstable. A slightly larger impact like my eyes may cause the kidney to disappear. Unless my wife and I have another operation by your side, you will definitely die." Mu En continued with a serious expression.

"Of course, you need to experience the effect of the spirit transformation technique yourself, but it's best if both my wife and I are present. After all, no one knows what the consequences will be."

"Oh, that's it. It's a pity, my Hokage dream seems to be hard to come true!" Kato Dan seemed to have expected it, and he was not as disappointed as Tsunade imagined. Instead, he continued optimistically, "Compared to those compatriots who died in the war, I am already very lucky. What is there to be dissatisfied with?"

"Look, Mistress, I just said that Teacher Duan is not that fragile and can bear it." Mu En looked at Tsunade and said with a smile.

Originally, according to Tsunade's intention, I was afraid that Kato would not be able to accept it, so I had to hide it first, and then explain it slowly later.

"Haha... Don't worry, after dying once, some things will be taken lightly." Kato Duan laughed, and continued: "While you two are here, why don't you try the spirit transformation technique now?"

"Don't do this, off. You have to wait until your body recovers." Tsunade quickly refused.

"Mr. Duan, let's wait until the condition is better. The results measured at this moment are not normal, and have no reference value." Mu En didn't want to accompany Kato Duan, so he had to dissuade him.

Saying that, without waiting for Kato Dan to say anything else, he cooperated with Tsunade to frame Kato Dan into the ward.

Also this afternoon, the three generations of Naruto Sarutobi Hirzen, Shimura Danzo and others all returned to the village one after another, heralding the complete end of the war.

That night, Konoha executives, represented by the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, discussed the issue of post-war meritorious service awards.

Little shrimps like Mu En and Minato have nothing to say, and they won’t have any objections; Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade were promoted to the elite Jōnin to become Konoha’s top management, and they were able to pass because of their amazing performance in the Land of Rain, the spread of the name "Sannin" and the support of the three generations.However, there were differences in the commendation of Hatake Sakumo and Kato Duan.

"Hizun, I will never agree. No matter what kind of credit, it is too much to reward Naruto with half sleeves." Shimura Danzo said excitedly: "Do you know what Naruto's half sleeves mean?"

Shimura Danzo was jealous and dissatisfied with Hiruzaru Sarutobi's successor to the third Hokage, but this was also the price of his hesitation at the critical moment. It was the choice of the second Hokage, and he could not blame others.Now it is completely unacceptable to have two young people in front of him.

"Hokage-sama, Hokage half-sleeves are of great significance. I don't think I can take on this responsibility for the time being." As an elite Jonin, Hatake Sakumo also participated in this meeting.

"Sakumo, don't underestimate yourself. You deserve it." The Third Hokage took a breath and looked around the audience with sharp eyes. "My proposal to award Hatake Sakumo and Kato Duan Hokage half-sleeves is after careful consideration."

"What do you need to be a Hokage? Combat power, prestige, or credit? These are certain, but they are not necessary."

"What's more important is the spirit of sacrifice at the critical moment, the will to put your companions before your own life. The sacrifice of the second generation of Hokage is for this, and it is also the benchmark of Hokage."

"Hatake Sakumo and Kato Dan have indeed made great contributions. The end of the war is due to both of them. But the real reason why I awarded them the Hokage half-sleeve is that they were under the siege of Sand Hidden. In the most difficult situation, the first thing they thought of was the safety of their compatriots, not their own lives."

"Under such difficult circumstances, all members of the two mission teams have returned. This reflects the will of Hokage, and it is worthy of entrusting Hokage half-sleeved."

The impassioned voice of the third Hokage infected everyone present at the meeting, except Shimura Danzo, whose face was getting darker and darker.

"Okay, let's award Hatake Sakumo and Kato the half-sleeve breaking of Hokage, let's vote with a show of hands!" Third Hokage's expression was firm and could not be changed.

"Hatake Sakumo and Kato Dan are Konoha's heroes who can end this war, and they also have a high reputation in the village. It is well deserved to award Hokage a half-sleeved sleeve." Feeling the will of the third Hokage, Tatsumi Koharu immediately raised his hand to agree with the proposal.

"I agree!"

"I agree too!"

……

Immediately, voices of approval resounded through the meeting room.Seeing this, Danzo Shimura could only raise his hands in agreement with a gloomy expression.

"Okay, if that's the case, I'll report it to the daimyo right away." The award of Naruto's half-sleeved sleeves is second only to the succession of Hokage in Ninja Village, and of course the daimyo's consent is required.

In this way, all post-war work was quickly arranged under the auspices of the Third Hokage.The three generations of Hokage have gained supreme authority in the war, and finally mastered the power of the entire Konoha.

After the meeting, Sandai Hokage returned to Hokage's office, took out a letter from Jiraiya, and after reading it, he stood up and walked to the window, looking at the people who were still celebrating the end of the war in the dark, with a relaxed smile on his face.

"Namikaze Minato, super fast neural response speed? Can you really learn that ninjutsu? Can you really control it? Teacher, bless Konoha, the junior ninja will use your ninjutsu to protect Konoha."

It turned out to be a letter from Jiraiya recommending Namikaze Minato to practice new ninjutsu.Although there is nothing he can do about Zilai's inconspicuous personality, Sandai still trusts his disciple's vision.
