A certain scientific Naruto

Putting aside Hagoromo's stingy Bala moving plan, the Sandaime Hokage is about to bring Konoha's elite ninjas here.

Because they had suffered a major blow from the Suna Ninja previously, the Konoha Ninja's combat readiness on this defense line has temporarily entered a stage of contraction across the board.

In the previous battle, Konoha's side suffered a large number of casualties. Therefore, the number of ninjas that Konoha can engage in the battle on this defense line has dropped sharply, and the overall strength has also been weakened. They can no longer adopt the three-stage defense mode. .

If we continue to use that method, then Konoha's defense line will be stretched too long. The number of ninjas is insufficient. If we continue to spread our strength like that, it will only give the enemy a chance to defeat them one by one.

Even if it is not to form a sufficient deterrent to the Suna Ninja, just for the safety of her subordinates, Tsunade must concentrate all the remaining power of Konoha.

All Konoha ninjas who were currently facing off on the Suna Ninja front line had withdrawn. Except for the necessary investigators who had been released, the remaining ninjas had all gathered near the original headquarters.

Tsunade knew that the most important thing at the moment was to preserve the effective forces on her side instead of fighting the enemy. Before the arrival of the Hokage and other ninjas, they must avoid a large-scale battle with the Suna Ninja as much as possible.

Fortunately, due to the battle three days ago, Konoha's side suffered heavy casualties, and the Suna ninja's side was also miserable, so the opponent temporarily did not have the strength to launch a second attack.

And not only that, because ninjas were mobilized from the Iwagakure front line for a long-distance attack, the Suna ninja's defense line is now tighter than the defense line against Konoha. Defending Iwagakure is their top priority. , In fact, at this time, if there is no action from Konoha, it is impossible for the Suna Ninja to take the initiative to attack again.

In other words, because their Iwagakure defense line is currently quite tight and the Sand Ninja who have lost a large number of ninjas are simply unable to launch an attack on Konoha.

So now it was originally a situation where the Suna Ninja forced Konoha to cease the war. Now it has become a situation where Konoha wants to defeat the Suna Ninja and then force them to sign a ceasefire treaty.

This is the period when different countries and villages are fighting each other. One wrong step leads to another wrong step.

The Hokage rushed to the battlefield with Konoha's mobile power. It can be said that he made some dangerous moves, and it can also be said that he firmly seized the opportunity to solve one side's war.

After three days and three days while Hagoromo was recovering from his injuries, the Hokage finally arrived.

With all the busyness and war arrangements here, there was naturally nothing to do with Hagoromo, and he was happy to be free. But he didn't expect that when he had just settled down in the afternoon, Lord Hokage summoned him.

Ninjas are killing tools. No matter how much the Hokage emphasizes the will of fire and how much he pays attention to the younger generation of Konoha, in this war-torn era, it is indeed difficult to value the lives of ninjas one by one.

Previously, Hagoromo and Kushina were in danger at the same time. The Hokage's focus was on Kushina, and Hagoromo's attention was on the next level...well, it was on many levels, but this is actually a bit doubtful. None. Even if Fang Yuyi was sitting in the Hokage's position, he would make the same judgment. It is not easy to judge whether an ordinary or even genius ninja is more important than the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. .

Although the probability of a genius ninja being born is low, as long as the war continues, dazzling ninjas will appear one after another, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki will really be gone if it is gone.

But after all, something was a little different about Hagoromo. The battle situation that night was reported to the Hokage in detail, and Hagoromo's explanation was also repeated to him by Tsunade. That's why this summons was called.

Systematically speaking, Hagoromo is a disciple of Kushina, and Kushina herself has a close relationship with Naruto. She is also the future wife of Minato Namikaze, and Minato is a disciple of Jiraiya, and Jiraiya is the third generation. As one of the proud disciples of the Hokage, this roundabout relationship is actually to show that Hagoromo is a direct descendant of the Third Hokage.

Everyone belongs to their own people.

However, when Yuyi heard the news from the Hokage's mouth, he almost burst into tears.

Wait a minute, Sandaime-sama, do you mean to directly promote me to Jonin?!

Is there any problem? Lord Hokage asked.

Of course! From a realistic level, he is just a genin, and from a practical combat power perspective, Hagoromo is very self-aware and believes that when he does not use certain special moves and simply talks about his level as a ninja, his combat power is at best mediocre. Even if he is a chuunin, to put it nicely, he can be an elite chuunin, but he feels that he is not yet a jounin.

Let’s not talk about combat power. As a chuunin or jounin, you must at least have the ability to lead a ninja team. This is not a matter of combat power, but a matter of combat awareness. To put it simply, This is the TEAMWORK that later Kakashi-san always emphasized.

As for Hagoromo's fighting style, to put it bluntly, he is a one-man fighter. He has never tried to cooperate with other ninjas.

If he was really allowed to lead the team, he might as well be given tasks such as infiltration and sabotage, murder and frame-up, intelligence theft, etc.

However, he overthought it. It was impossible for the Hokage to send him to carry out such a high-risk mission. This had nothing to do with whether he was a direct descendant or not. Young ninjas did not have the ability to carry out such A-level or even S-level missions alone.

Well, Hokage-sama, I heard that ninja promotion requires strict assessment. Is it not good for me to open the back door like this?

The main reason is that Hagoromo feels that now he has the title of Shiroyasha on his head, and he may become a big lightbulb on the battlefield. If he adds the title of a young jounin... the enemy will not It would be a shame to prioritize him as a killing target.

Well, you are right, but with your performance that everyone witnessed on the battlefield that day, such achievements still need to be rewarded accordingly. So, let's raise your ninja level to chuunin. ”

Hagoromo was speechless, what does Naruto mean? He became a jounin, but immediately changed back to a chuunin? It wasn't that he couldn't bear the title of Jonin, he wanted it, but he couldn't figure out what the Hokage meant.

However, if you are directly promoted to chuunin, you should still go to the back, right? There are no big or small back doors.

I know what you want to say. Tsunade also told me that the move you used to attack Shukaku that day required a long period of chakra accumulation, but promoting you to chuunin was not just because of this factor. , on the frontline battlefield before this, your ability to kill enemies has been proven, and I have a complete report here... Chuunin, you have no problem.

As he spoke, the Sandaime patted Hagoromo's shoulder. What else could Hagoromo say? The Hokage probably had his own considerations, but as a subordinate, he could only choose to accept it obediently.

If your leader wants to promote you, why would you be reluctant?

…………

Dismissing Yuyi was just a small microcosm of the Hokage's busy day. In the evening, the real high-level meeting began.

The third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tsunade Hime, one of the three ninjas, the golden flash Minato Namikaze, the Konoha General Staff, and the captains and squad leaders of each ninja brigade were all gathered together.

As it should be, Hagoromo had no part in this. Even if he had just become a chuunin, he was just a little chuunin.
