There were 12 people in Class 1, Class 12, and Class 17 when they left, but when they returned to Konoha, there were only 8 people left.

“Kuta, Shuichi and I are going to see Hokage-sama. You guys should go and rest first.”

After returning to Konoha, Hatake Sakumo also breathed a sigh of relief

“Teacher Xiuyi, although your injury is not a major problem, it is best to go to the hospital for systematic treatment.”Bai Yu reminded before leaving.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be there.”Oshima Hide nodded.

Then, the three Jonin came to the Hokage building together.

When the three of them walked into the Hokage’s office, they found that except for the third generation , the other three consultants Koharu, Mito Monobu, and Shimura Danzo were all present, and they obviously attached great importance to this incident

“The Third Generation Sir, Advisor Sir.”

The three of them bowed slightly

“Sakumo, Shuichi, and Kouta, you three teams completed this mission very well! The torture department has begun to read the memories of the corpses you have returned. I believe that more weaknesses of the puppet master will be found soon, which will be of great significance to ending the war.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi expressed his high affirmation of the results of this mission

“Yes.”

For the three people who often perform difficult tasks, they have long been accustomed to it

“This mission is upgraded to S level and will be settled with the rewards of two S level missions. In addition, I can give you access to the Sealed Book, and you can choose any ninjutsu from it.”Sarutobi Hiruzen continued.

For ninjas at the Jonin level, monetary rewards are secondary, mainly the accumulation of military exploits and the permission to read the book of seals. This is very important to Konoha. It is very precious to all jounin, and it contains many S-level ninjutsu left by the first and second generations.

Even if they cannot learn it themselves, they can use it as a family ninjutsu in the future. The skill is passed down and will be of great help to improve the family heritage

“Sandaime-sama, I don’t have any credit for this mission. I feel sorry for not being able to save Keita. Regarding the reading permission of the Sealed Book, I want to give it to the members of the team. After all, with my injury, even if I recover, I am afraid I can only take a back seat.”

Hideichi Oshima

“Xiuichi, this matter is due to my negligence as the Hokage. What happened to Keita is not your fault. It was me who misjudged Sunagakure’s determination to continue the war. If I could have sent more manpower earlier, this outcome might not have been the case.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi apologized and took the responsibility on himself.

He was heartbroken by the death of Keita Sarutobi, but Shuichi Oshima, an elite The jounin’s disability is a greater loss to Konoha. The key is that he could not have been injured. He lost his arm to save the talent

“Third generation, please don’t say that.”Oshima Shuichi was a little moved.

” Xiuyi, regarding the arrangements for you and the team, I will give you a complete charter later, so please rest assured.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly

“Sir, please distribute my reward as a pension to the fallen members of the team.”Sakamoto Kouta decided to give up the reward.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had no objection to this. Every jounin in Konoha is the successor of the will of fire. Under the leadership of such a strong will, They will overcome all difficulties

“Shuichi, Kouta, you go back to recuperate first.”

“Yes.”

Kota Sakamoto and Shuichi Oshima left the Hokage’s office

“Sandaime-sama, let me give the reading rights of the Sealed Book to others. You know, I don’t need other ninjutsu.

In addition, everyone performed very well in this mission.

Among them, Yagami Baiyu’s performance is the most outstanding. If he hadn’t helped at the critical moment, I would have been seriously injured by now.

I think based on his performance this time, he should be granted access to read the Sealed Book.”

Hatake Sakumo said.

He only needs to continue to practice Hatake-ryu swordsmanship, and he does not need anything else

“I understand.”Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Sakumo helplessly.

With his military exploits and the number of high-level tasks he completed, it would be enough to read all the contents of the Sealed Book directly..

But he doesn’t need it.

So Sarutobi Hiruzen has nothing to reward him

“Sakumo, I feel it is necessary to know the details of this mission, especially the Uchiha.”Shimura Danzo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said

“Yes.”Sakumo retold the entire mission process.

This included Uchiha Munehito’s heroic battle process and what he said to Keita Sarutobi before his death.

Sakumo neither covered up nor added anything

“The Uchiha people are really incompatible with the village.”Duanzo said coldly.

“Danzo, watch your attitude.”Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly, and then looked at Hatake Sakumo,”Sakumo, you should go back and rest. The village will not arrange any more tasks for you in the next period of time, so you can recover well.”

“Yes.”Hatake Sakumo bowed slightly and exited the Hokage’s office.

After turning to bed, Koharu suddenly sighed:”Among this generation of ninjas, Sakumo is the best. As a candidate for the Fourth Hokage, It’s quite suitable”

“Indeed, the Sannin are all pretty good, but compared to Sakumo, they are still a little inferior.”Mito Kadoyan on the side agreed:”He has made so many military exploits, I think it is appropriate to promote him to the squad leader of the Jonin class.”

“I agree.”Xiaoharu nodded as he went to bed.

There are hundreds of jounin in Konoha. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for all tasks to be issued directly by the Hokage, and other jounin who do not have tasks cannot work all day long. Staying in the Hokage building, so most jounin will go to the special department of the jounin class to”check in”.

If there is an important task, the squad leader of the jounin class will directly convey orders to the Hokage. a> Danzo noticed Sarutobi Hiruzen’s expression and added:”In terms of popularity, character, strength, and the battle achievements accumulated over the years, Sakumo clearly surpasses the Sannin. , but Sakumo is really not good at management Regarding the two people’s suggestions, Sarutobi Hiruzen fell silent, and then said:”With Sakumo’s ability, let him be a permanent resident of the ninja class. His talents were wasted.” When Hiruzen Sarutobi was young, he was appointed as the jounin squad leader by the second generation, which gave him great authority in the village. The ninja also accumulated some connections.

The jounin squad leader has no real power, but it is of great significance.

“A lot of things have to be learned slowly. Mito Menyan said:”But what you said is right.””

“Hiruzen, among these juniors, who is your favorite candidate for the fourth generation?”Xiaochun couldn’t help but ask after going to bed.

“The time has not come yet. I can at least stick to this position for a few more years and give the next generation more time to grow.”Sarutobi Hiruzen did not give a clear answer.

“That’s true. If you say it, if you continue to be Hokage for more than ten years, everyone will also recognize it.”Mito Katoyan nodded.

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled,”Fifty years old is almost enough. We should also give more opportunities to young people. ”

” Hiruzen, how do you plan to arrange these teams?” Danzo changed the topic.

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly. It seemed that Danzo still refused to give up on Bai Yu.

After pondering for a moment, he did Decision made:

“Uchiha Zonghito was promoted to Chunin, and I hope he can become more responsible following Sakumo.

As for the members of Class 12……Let Orochimaru lead them for a while.”

After they went to bed, Koharu and Mito Kadoen exchanged glances. It seemed that Hiruzen didn’t say anything, but his favorite candidate was Orochimaru.

Letting the Uchiha and Hinata tribesmen follow Orochimaru is obviously to let Orochimaru imitate their teacher, the Second Hokage.

And Bai Yu, as a genius in medical ninjutsu, is also a civilian. , if you follow Orochimaru, you can also improve his reputation in the future.

Otherwise, you can let Bai Yu follow Tsunade. After all, Tsunade has the highest reputation among the three ninjas

” Bai Yu has no problem, but by letting Uchiha and Hinata follow Orochimaru, aren’t you afraid that they will have thoughts they shouldn’t have?” Danzo said with a hint.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly:”Hinata and Uchiha are also part of the village!

Although the teacher was wary of Uchiha at first, he also recognized Uchiha.

Have you forgotten the mirror? Any ninja who has inherited the will of fire has this qualification.”

Hearing him mention the Uchiha mirror, Danzo’s eyes showed a strange color.

Koharu and Mito Kadoen, who were transferred to bed, agreed with him. According to the statement, Uchiha Kage undoubtedly has the tools to become Hokage. The only pity is that he died young, otherwise the trust between the village and Uchiha would be higher now.

As for Uchiha and Hinata Whether they will unite is simply impossible. The conflict between the two ninja clans has lasted for hundreds of years from the Warring States Period to the present.

Just like Uchiha has always been hostile to the Senju clan, how could it be possible because Several genin united.

Wanting to become Hokage without the support of everyone is simply a dream.

Especially now Hiruzen’s prestige in the village , as long as he does not support Uchiha in actual actions, Uchiha will never be able to touch the position of Hokage.

And with them suppressing them, they cannot change the sky.
