Chapter 799 Promotion and Arrangement

A war that broke out hastily ended so suddenly.

It seems a bit of a joke, but in fact, it fits the situation of ninjas in this world: ninja battles rarely last too long, especially in such large-scale chaotic battles, each ninja will do his best in the shortest time Kill the enemy or be killed by the enemy.

The result of unreserved moves is that most ninjas are unable to fight for a long time: Chakra simply cannot allow ninjas to fight for a long time.

Therefore, if Konoha's ninjas cannot be completely killed or defeated within a certain period of time, the result of this war has already come out.

The sound ninja and the sand ninja have already broken through and evacuated. At present, only some of the enemies who are too deep or trapped in the siege have not been completely eliminated. After the remaining part of the Konoha ninjas have carried out some appropriate pursuits, they have turned to support other companions. .

As the battle situation became clearer, Konoha's Junin no longer needed to travel frequently on various battlefields, but concentrated on Hokage's side.

It's just a little different from their original idea: I thought it was necessary to gather most of the elite, break the barrier and then support Naruto to kill Orochimaru.

Unexpectedly, when most of the people arrived, the battle between the third Hokage-sama and Orochimaru had already come to an end: Orochimaru was wounded and escaped, but Hokage-sama was safe and sound.

"Sure enough, you are worthy of the third Hokage-sama!"

The latecomers didn't know the situation, and thought that Hokage-sama's sword was not old, and no matter how strong Orochimaru was, he still couldn't beat his teacher.

But the Jonin who arrived first and the Anbu who had been around for a long time knew that Orochimaru was not forced to retreat by the third Hokage-sama, and even the third-generation master just played soy sauce gorgeously in this battle and became a audience.

In the whole battle, except for the release of two ninjutsu at the beginning, the three generations of Naruto occupied the best viewing seats in the audience, and witnessed how Orochimaru was deflated and forced to escape.

"It's just a submissive!"

Almost all Jonin expressed such emotion in their hearts, and at the same time gave Ethan the same evaluation at the same time.

"What a monster!"

This is not a negative evaluation, but an absolutely positive compliment. They all feel that Ethan must have a place in Konoha's future.

The facts seemed to prove everyone's guess. When the war situation subsided and Konoha turned to the aftermath, the first thing to do was Ethan's promotion.

"Promotion?"

The promotion came so suddenly that he was a little confused. Although he saved the life of the third Hokage, isn't it too simple and straightforward for you to return the third Hokage? Shouldn't we discuss in private what rewards should be appropriate? After all, I am just a newcomer who has not graduated for a long time.

"The Chunin Exam was originally designed to select outstanding Genin. When you advanced to the main competition, you were considered as a Chunin backup, and in the subsequent war that broke out, you also showed good strength. It is only natural to be promoted. of."

The one who explained for Ethan was Aoba Yamashiro, who came here specially to summon him. Before the Chunin exam, Aoba Yamashiro was still Ethan's instructor, but this name probably only lasted until today.

The strength Ethan showed was already astonishing, and Aoba Yamashiro had no way to give him any guidance.

In his mind, Hokage-sama decided to promote Ethan directly, probably because of special training.

"Is anyone else promoted besides me?"

"If it's a normal promotion, there are still a few; if you want to ask the same class as you...or other people who took the Chunin exam this time, then there is still one who will be promoted to the Chunin."

"who is it?"

"The one from the Nara family."

"It's Shikamaru!"

Ethan thought that he had snatched Shikamaru's promotion opportunity, but he didn't expect that although he didn't have the opportunity to show himself in the game, he showed his extraordinary mind vividly in the support battle later, and the desire to clean up a group of sound ninja Death - without the confrontation with Temari, Nara Shikamaru's Chakra is very sufficient, which allows him to calmly carry out the layout.

Because of this wonderful performance, Shikamaru still got the chance to be promoted. After all, Nara Shikamaru has reached the standard of Chunin in terms of brains, leadership and actual combat effectiveness. It can be regarded as having made enough credit, and promotion is not something that is incomprehensible.

However, even though both were promoted, the situation of the two is still a little different.

Ethan finalized his promotion almost immediately, but Shikamaru may have to wait for a while, after Konoha's reconstruction work is on the right track, it will start to announce.

Before that, Konoha has to do a lot of aftermath work, such as counting casualties and holding funerals for the many ninjas who died defending Konoha, and then repairing the damaged areas and buildings in the real world.

After all the work was done, Ethan went to the registration office to change the information, and when he came out again, he was already a Chunin who could wear a vest—of course, Konoha did not have strict requirements for the daily attire of the ninjas Except for special circumstances, ninjas can freely choose their favorite clothes, only the forehead that symbolizes the Konoha ninja must be worn in a conspicuous place.

Although Ethan has a vest, he usually keeps it at home. It is still the jacket that everyone is most familiar with. In addition, Ethan's promotion has not been publicized, so his classmates don't know that Ethan has become a Chunin.

Although he was promoted to Zhongnin, the higher-ups have not decided how to arrange Ethan, whether to let him lead a few ninjas to form a new team, directly supplement the existing combat team, or simply deploy as a separate combat unit. Without a clear instruction, Ethan has been in an idle state, and there is no way to pick up the task alone.

At present, all Konoha's energy is focused on negotiating with Sand Shinobi, because Sand Shinobi found Kazekage's body and confirmed that Kazekage had died a few days before the Chunin exam, indicating that Sand Shinobi will join this time The war is all because of the conspiracy of Orochimaru:

He pretended to be Kazekage and involved Sand Ninja Village in this war, so everything was not Sand Ninja Village's fault, but Orochimaru's problem.

In the original book, because Konoha Village lost Hokage, there was not much entanglement in this matter, and this conflict was quickly put aside, and all attention was shifted to choosing a new Hokage.

It’s different now, the third Hokage not only didn’t die, he didn’t even suffer any fur injuries, and sat in Konoha well, Sha Nin Village’s evasive remarks couldn’t get Konoha’s approval, so the negotiations fell into a stalemate.

Of course, with the style of the third generation, he will not be entangled in this matter endlessly, so it is an inevitable trend for Konoha and Sand Shinobi to get back together, but it has only been delayed for a few days.

As for the choice of the new Hokage, the third generation has already made arrangements.

Compared to the two advisors who proposed that Jiraiya take over the position of Hokage, the third generation who knew his disciple better did not immediately agree, but talked with Jiraiya himself once, and then Jilai took Naruto and left Hokage Ye Cun, went out to look for Tsunade.

It wasn't until this time that Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was Hokage, called Ethan to his office in person.

"Things have happened one after another during this period, and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Ethan took a look, there were not only the three generations of Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi in the office, but also the two consultants, Koharu and Mitomon Yan.

"So the three generations of adults have recruited subordinates, do you have any tasks to order?"

"I just want to chat with you..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi lit his pipe, took off the bamboo hat symbolizing Hokage and put it aside: "This time I can survive because of you. I’m really sorry to thank you personally.”

"This is the responsibility of being a Konoha ninja."

Ethan was a little confused, not understanding what the old man was doing? Is it really just playing with yourself?

Before he came, he had several guesses. The worst thing was that he was surrounded by a large group of elite ninjas and a large number of Anbu just after entering the door.

After coming in, seeing someone else, he wondered if that old ghost of Danzo was planning to make trouble secretly? Did you kill him yourself? Or kill him? Or kill his whole family?

When Hiruzaru Sarutobi casually chatted with him, he wondered if the other party was deliberately paralyzing him, just waiting for the time to throw a cup as a sign... There was no water cup on the table, but the cigarette pouch seemed to be okay?

He was thinking wildly here, but on the surface he perfectly dealt with all kinds of homely words of the three generations of Hokage, but in the end, the old Hokage didn't drop the cigarette pouch on the ground, on the contrary, he cherished it very carefully, even reluctant to touch it.

At the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen mentioned Ethan's recent situation.

"The post-war reconstruction work is still going on. Due to the large number of casualties, many teams need to be adjusted. This is one of the reasons why you have not been assigned recently."

"One of the?"

"Hmm!" Hiruzaru Sarutobi said so clearly, it's not surprising that the other party would realize: "There is another reason, I need to ask your personal thoughts."

"Is it related to my arrangement?"

Ethan thought about it, Chunin is qualified to be the team leader, but the team headed by Chunin is cannon fodder in wartime, although it is the main force to perform various tasks and earn rewards for the village in peacetime, its status is really inferior. High, performing mostly low-level tasks.

Given his current situation, it was impossible for Hiruzaru Sarutobi to arrange him in this way, and if he had to ask him his personal thoughts, the answer would be very clear.

"Are you interested in joining Anbe?"

"Anbu..."

As expected, Sarutobi Hiruzen never arranged for Ethan's whereabouts, and he really wanted him to enter Anbu.

Many elite ninjas in Konoha, including Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi, have been trained in Anbu, and entering Anbu is tantamount to becoming a direct confidant of Hokage, which also proves that Hiruzaru Sarutobi valued Ethan.

Unfortunately, Ethan has no interest in Anbu at all.

"Not interested in!"
