Konoha: I refresh a passive skill every month

Chapter 97 Rapid promotion, trying to get rid of the caged bird

It was rare for Orochimaru to make a loss-making transaction, and it was the kind where the wool comes from the sheep, and the feeling was unspeakable.

However, Li Cheye's recent performance has aroused Orochimaru's strong interest, and he has no plans to deal with Li Cheye for the time being.

Li Che naturally knew this, and he thrived under Orochimaru, and he got along increasingly well with the Konoha ninjas around him.

This has a lot to do with the reputation gained previously.

But some people are happy while others are sad. This person is none other than Shimura Danzo, who wants to become the Hokage of Konoha Village.

When he received the battle report from the front line and learned that Li Che had also made a great contribution, single-handedly chasing the Suna ninja army and successfully forcing them back, Shimura Danzo felt bad.

Such a speed in gaining reputation and combat achievements is simply three points better than that of Hatake Sakumo back then!

Shimura Danzo was panicked, but more importantly, he was anxious. Sarutobi Hiruzen refused to give him such a good opportunity.

"Hiruzen!" Danzo Shimura came to the Hokage's office again, "There has been something unusual in the Kingdom of Water, and I must lead my troops to keep an eye on it.

We must know that there is no barrier along our eastern coastline. Once a war breaks out, it will definitely affect the civilians in our country.

Therefore, we must plan early. "

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not answer the question, "On the Suna Ninja battlefield, Toruya performed very well, even better than Sakumo back then."

"Ri Zhan, what do you mean?"

"The world now belongs to young people. It is right to give them more opportunities to exercise." Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a calm voice, but with unquestionable determination, "My plan is still the same as before, to use more young people. , we... are going to retire."

Shimura Danzo is so angry, who retires?
  You can retire after becoming Hokage, but what about me?
  "Hiruzen, what you are doing is cowardly!" Shimura Danzo criticized Sarutobi Hiruzen, "And this kind of behavior is very dangerous. If an accident occurs, you will bear the main responsibility. Don't blame me for not warning you!"

"If something goes wrong, I will take full responsibility for it." Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, "Duanzo, needless to say, unless the battle situation on the front line deteriorates, you will stay in the village and you are not allowed to go anywhere. .”

"You..." Danzo Shimura slammed the table, "You will regret it, Hiruzen!"

"I am Hokage. I naturally have my own decisions. Follow your orders, Danzo."

"You just hope there won't be any problems on the front line, otherwise..." Danzo Shimura turned around and left, "Your Hokage will be finished!"

boom.

The office door was violently closed, and Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but frown.

He can usually tolerate many of Shimura Danzo's little moves, and it's okay to go overboard occasionally, but for the position of Hokage, he doesn't even think about it.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was suppressing Shimura Danzo, and everyone knew this.

Letting Shimura Danzo become the next Hokage of the village was too dangerous, and Sarutobi Hiruzen did not dare to be careless.

After taking a moment to calm down, Sarutobi Hiruzen signed and sealed the promotion order and handed it to the communication ninja to quickly send it to the front line.

"Tetsuya, you didn't disappoint Sakumo, and you didn't disappoint me." Hiruzen Sarutobi found some comfort, "On the day the ninja school started, I knew you had the will of fire. Now it seems that it was a mistake. nothing."

His mood improved a lot. Sarutobi Hiruzen handled a lot of government affairs in one breath. It wasn't until he saw several other documents that his good mood disappeared.

"This... sigh!" He sighed heavily, "The situation is actually so bad. Is the village about to fall into a four-front war?"

The corners of his lips trembled slightly, and Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but light his pipe. The smoke and smoke quickly filled most of the office.

"There is a serious shortage of troops. Are we going to send ninja students who have not yet graduated to the battlefield?" Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned. "If the situation worsens further, we can only choose to take this step."

After thinking about it, Sarutobi Hiruzen sat down at his desk and wrote an order. He hoped that Orochimaru could quickly deal with the Suna ninja troops that threatened the security of the western border.

As long as the Sand Ninja can be eliminated as quickly as possible, the situation will not collapse to the point where the potential for war is squeezed to the limit.

"It's time to call back Tsunade, she is the only one who can cure Chiyo's poison." Hiruzen Sarutobi muttered in his mind, and wrote another order in handwriting, "And with her, the progress of the Sand Ninja battlefield can be faster. I hope I can make it in time.”

But Sarutobi Hiruzen still made the quickest plan. The third order was to order the ninja school to speed up the training of ninjas in order to prepare for the explosion.
-
  In just a few days, Sarutobi Hiruzen's order reached Orochimaru.

Looking at the promotion documents and the latest orders written by Sarutobi Hiruzen, Orochimaru couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips and smiled coldly.

Now that I know I'm anxious, why didn't Hatake Sakumo make such a decisive move before he died?

But in an instant, Orochimaru returned to his normal state, looked around, and frowned again unconsciously.

"Where's Li Che?" There was dissatisfaction in his voice.

"Lord Orochimaru, I'm right in front of you." Li Cheye's voice sounded, "Well, it's three meters to your left. The one standing at the front is me."

Following Li Cheye's voice, Orochimaru frowned deeper, "When did you sneak in?"

"I've always been here, you just didn't realize it." Li Cheye said with helplessness in his voice.

Orochimaru looked around and saw confusion on everyone's faces.

Not bothering to expose Richeya's little trick, Orochimaru read out the promotion documents.

"Special Jounin Lee Tetsuya, because of his outstanding military exploits and outstanding performance in strength, he is hereby promoted to Jounin, and Orochimaru is directly responsible for the position of captain of the ninja brigade."

After Orochimaru read out the promotion order, warm applause erupted from the surrounding area.

Although Li Che will be ten years old in two months, he is still nine years old now.

He became a Jonin at the age of nine, which was the first time in the history of Konoha. What's more, Li Che also currently serves as the captain of the ninja brigade, and in terms of real power, he is unrivaled among his peers in Konoha.

This is indeed the glory of this war, but without the diamond, Li Che would naturally not have the opportunity to be promoted quickly.

Opportunities are everywhere in the war years, as long as you seize them firmly and survive until the end of the war.

Obviously, Li Che also caught it, and had a high probability of surviving until the end of the war, and gaining a higher status and real power in the village.

But when the applause ended, Orochimaru suddenly dropped the promotion order in his hand at his feet, "Li Cheye! Where did you go again!"

Logically speaking, Orochimaru shouldn't be so irritable, it doesn't fit with his behavior. But with so many ninjas in front of him, he had to maintain his majesty as a commander and could not act calmly.

If you don't get a little more violent, how can you lead this team?
  "That...I've always been there." Li Che also became more helpless, "I've really always been there."

After taking a few deep breaths, Orochimaru ignored Li Cheye and allowed him to walk over by himself, bending down to pick up the promotion documents from the ground.

In fact, Li Che also felt very bitter.

This month’s passive skills are also a bit too weird.

Although it is quite powerful in terms of characteristics, this passive skill has seriously affected Li Cheye's daily life.

[Passive skill: Ranked sixth]

[Skill description: During the skill enhancement period, your presence will be reduced to the minimum, the backstab damage bonus will be increased by [-]%, and a critical hit will occur with a multiplier of [-]%.

Note: Once you make a sound, look at the opponent for a long time, attack, or make violent movements, the reduced sense of presence will return to the normal level]

[Skill duration: 30 days]     【Message: You sneak attack! I was careless and didn't dodge, otherwise I would kill you, the old man! 】

A very powerful passive skill, whether it is a sneak attack or a shady trick, it can be regarded as invincible to a certain extent.

For a ninja with Orochimaru's strength, Li Che was also three meters away from him. As long as he didn't make any movement, Orochimaru couldn't find him at all.

Plus the critical hit attribute of backstab.

Orochimaru can be killed with one strike!

Even if it doesn't work, it can still seriously injure him. Even if he exposes himself during the attack and allows Orochimaru to react in time, Li Che can still scare him half to death.

But Li Che, the sunny boy, also said that he could barely accept the assassination. It would be better if he could not expose himself when taking action.

With this in mind, Orochimaru finally finished the meeting and dismissed everyone in the tent.

"Lord Orochimaru, I still..."

Before Li Cheye finished speaking, Orochimaru's snake eyes suddenly shrank, and when he turned back suddenly, the killing intent on his body unconsciously enveloped Li Cheye.

The feeling of being locked made Li Che a little out of breath. Without the passive skill [Strengthen when strong, unknown strength], Li Che also felt a little less confident.

"When?" Orochimaru quickly calmed down his aura and warned, "Tetsuya-kun, what you just did was very dangerous."

Of course I know this.

Li Che also curled his lips in his heart, but still apologized, "I'm sorry, Orochimaru-sama, I haven't been in the right state these past few days, and I've caused you trouble."

Orochimaru came back to his senses, "Your sense of presence...suddenly..."

As he spoke, Orochimaru's eyes brightened, and he immediately told him, "Tetsuya-kun, stand still and don't move. I want to take a look."

There is nothing else Li Che can do, just do it.

Staring in the direction where Li Cheya was, less than a minute passed before Orochimaru suddenly fell into a trance.

He could see that Li Che was clearly in front of him, but he subconsciously ignored it for a moment.

If he hadn't been staring into Li Cheye's eyes, he might have completely ignored it and left his back to Li Cheye without any defense.

This is a taboo for ninjas, no matter who they are.

"Cheya-kun, can you tell me what happened to you?" Orochimaru calmed down and asked Li Cheya the specific reason.

"It's the sequelae of the last time I used the forbidden technique." Li Che could only find this reason. "The overdraft was a bit serious, which reduced my sense of existence to a very touching level."

"You call this a sequelae?" Orochimaru raised his eyebrows, "This is the state that all ninjas dream of during an assassination mission."

"I know, but this is indeed a sequelae."

Hearing Li Che speak so confidently, Orochimaru seemed to have some realization, "What you overdraw is the combined power of your life force and soul?"

See, this is the charm of scientists, they find the answer themselves.

Li Che also nodded repeatedly, "That's it, otherwise the sense of existence wouldn't be so low, as if it doesn't exist."

"Is there any chance of things getting better?"

Orochimaru's heart tightened. He had planned to regard Li Che as the 'wind' that stirred up the meaning of life, but he only moved a few times, so he might have died.

"It is expected to improve next month."

"That's good." Orochimaru nodded, but still said uneasily, "If nothing else happens, Tsunade will be here in a few days, and then you can ask her to check your body."

This is not necessary.

Li Che also resisted in his heart, and immediately shook his head and refused, "I know my health well. As long as I don't use that trick again, my health will get better next month."

Orochimaru said nothing more, and while letting Li Che leave the camp, he also said uneasily, "Cheya-kun, you'd better not appear behind me so quietly, I'm worried that you can't control me." Own."

"I understand." Li Che also nodded with a grimace, turned and left.

Back in his own tent, Li Che also watched Shiranui Genma being silly with his promotion order, and couldn't bear to tease him.

He patted Shiranui Genma's shoulder.

"what!"

Shiranui Genma was so frightened that he dropped the thousand books in his mouth and jumped forward suddenly in a defensive posture.

"Captain Tetsuya, you are scaring people to death..." Seeing clearly that the person behind him was Li Tetsuya, Shiranui Genma breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest hard, "I almost jumped out of here just now."

"Haha, my vigilance needs to be improved, but my reaction is pretty good."

Li Che also smiled unscrupulously and said, "Congratulations to you, squad leader Xuanjian. Your position matches your strength."

Shiranui Genma, Ebisu, and Metkai have all been promoted. From class members to the leading ninjas of the class, they now have three soldiers under their command.

Moreover, Li Cheye's old subordinates have also been promoted to one level and turned into team captains. Otherwise, how could they match Li Cheye's status as team leader.

In addition, after Li Che was promoted to captain, the staff had to be expanded. Many ninjas in other teams were demoted voluntarily and joined the ninja team led by Li Che.

No one is a fool. They have already seen a bright future in Li Cheye, so it is right to follow him.

Among them is Hinata Rin, a member of the Hyuga branch.

"Captain Tetsuya, congratulations on your promotion." Hyuga Rin opened the tent curtain and walked in, "And I am very lucky to continue to be a member of the captain's team."

Li Che also nodded, but the smile on his face was not obvious.

"Rin, come out with me. I think you have something to say to me."

Hinata Rin was stunned and immediately followed him out.

When there were only two people around, Hinata Rin smiled bitterly and said, "Captain Tetsuya is really sharp. When did you find out?"

"While you keep staring at the shadow." Li Che also looked into Hinata Rin's eyes, already having a guess in his heart.

"So it's called Shadow?" Hinata Rin muttered, then said in a haphazard manner, "Captain Tetsuya, do you believe in fate?"

"Believe in fate, but don't accept it." Li Che also gave the answer directly.

Hinata Rin froze in place for a long time, and her voice became hoarse, "I don't want to accept my fate, but the restraint is always there, and I can't break free..."

Looking at Hinata Rin, Li Che also spoke slowly, "You can tell me, maybe... I can help you think of a solution."
