Chapter 107 Return to the Village

Konoha.

On a depressed street.

King and White Fang walked into the village.

There were not many pedestrians on the road.

Except for the guard at the door who shouted respectfully.

"Hello, Lord White Fang."

outside.

Without the warm reception last time, even the roads in Konoha were much deserted than before.

"Your popularity is short-lived."

Jin sighed beside him.

Last time, if he hadn't run fast, he would have been easily trampled.

The enthusiastic residents frightened him.

But the difference between now and the past is too big.

"After all, this is not the time to celebrate."

White Fang shook his head. He didn't care about this.

Last time the enthusiasm needed to be inspiring.

The battle report was notified to the village residents first.

After all, most of the ninjas in the village have withdrawn, which makes the residents of the village uneasy and affects the stability of Konoha.

Naturally, a publicity of military exploits is needed.

Even the higher-ups don’t want to.

Looking at the Hokage's office building in the distance.

"I remember Hiruzen Sarutobi said that it is not to be recognized by others after becoming Hokage, but to be recognized by everyone to become Hokage."

"Lord White Fang, do you want to become Hokage?"

Jin's voice was calm but bewitching.

White Fang looked towards the desolate village.

There is a renovated small building in the distance, but there are more dilapidated cabins with signs of time.

I heard that before the war, the Hokage wanted to repair Konoha's buildings.

But after the war broke out, there was no news.

He remembered that when he was a child, the streets of Konoha were so busy with people coming and going.

A few scattered people on the now-depressed streets were walking quickly, wrapped in clothes.

The smile on his face is gone.

This is because of the war.

But during the First World War, the village had never seen such a scene.

He knew very well that these were more or less related to the current Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

But he believed that he could not be better than Hiruzen Sarutobi.

So is he really qualified to be Hokage?

No one in the village wanted to be Hokage, and he was no exception.

only.

White Fang smiled and shook his head, but there was a rare gentleness on his face.

"I just want to protect the village, and forget what the Hokage says."

At this moment, his face looked lost.

He gave no reason.

Jin watched the wind blowing through the fallen leaves in the distance.

Raise your hand.

A snowflake fell on my hand.

"Snowing."

The reason no longer matters.

Because the winter is bitterly cold.

Hokage's office.

"Hokage-sama."

White Fang knelt on one knee, and Sarutobi Hiruzen sat on a chair, smoking a cigarette, and slowly blew out a puff of smoke.

The superiors and subordinates respect each other in an orderly manner.

It's just that there are always people who won't abide by this kind of respect.

"Old guy! Hurry up!"

Uchiha's golden hand slapped hard on the table.

"Ahem." Sarutobi Hiruzen was choked and coughed repeatedly, looking at Jin helplessly.

In all her years as Hokage, Tsunade was the only one who dared to be so rude.

Now there is another Uchiha Jin.

How dare he.

Although he wouldn't do anything to Uchiha Jin for this.

Sarutobi Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief.

Jin Ze didn't care, he didn't think about keeping anything superficial.

Pointless and tiring.

No matter how good he is, he is an Uchiha, and these people will not stop targeting him.

What they did was bad, and they couldn't treat the Uchiha clan any worse.

So why bother to maintain it so hard.

If it weren't for the fact that he and White Fang were on a mission this time, and that he was indispensable for the report, he would have gone home long ago.

"You did a good job on this mission. If you have completed the S-level mission, Uchiha Jin, you can prepare for the jounin exam."

This made Sarutobi Hiruzen have to sigh, it is easy for geniuses to appear in Uchiha.

"The Jonin exam."

Jin scratched his head.

If you want to become a Jonin, you still need to take an exam even if the conditions for promotion are lowered during the war.

To become a Jonin at this time, you need to meet two conditions. The first is to have military exploits, and the second is to pass the Jonin written examination.

The content of the competition is extremely complex.

"I understand." Jin waved his hand perfunctorily.

He didn't think he could pass the Jonin exam. He knew the scope of the Jonin exam.

Ninjutsu knowledge occupies one-third, combat command, intelligence collection and transmission, torture and inquiry, the will of fire occupies one-third, and the last part is various intelligence about other villages.

He was confident of getting full marks in Ninjutsu, but he didn't learn much about other things at all, so he only focused on his own strength.

"I will add your mission to your ninja file. If you have nothing to do, you can leave first."

Sarutobi Hiruzen only wanted to play for gold, and he became irritated when he saw Jin's attitude towards him.

He rubbed his eyebrows and couldn't hold on to the smile on his face.

"Then I'll go back first."

Jinko didn't want to care what Sarutobi Hiruzen thought.

He walked out of the Hokage's office with steps that he didn't recognize.

Looking at Uchiha Jin leaving, Sarutobi Hiruzen's smile could not be maintained after all, and his face turned cold, looking at White Fang who lowered his head and remained silent.

"What do you think of Uchiha Jin?"

White Fang continued to choose silence.

He couldn't comment yet on what happened to Uchiha Jin.

Many things, if spoken out, will develop in the worst direction.

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, there was nothing he could do about White Fang's taciturn character.

"You did a good job in Yun Ninja Village this time."

He didn't expect that Yun Ninja Village, which had not yet recovered, would actually dare to join the war.

Fortunately, White Fang temporarily repelled the first wave of troops sent by the opponent.

And he's still a jinchuriki.

That could bring a lot of trouble to the village.

"The last time Iwagakure Village attacked the battle line, many ninjas rushed into the Land of Fire, causing considerable losses. Although Suna Ninja Village's attack was not strong, it made it impossible for Tsunade to escape. The situation in Mist Ninja Village was even more difficult to describe. .”

Looking at these battle reports, Sarutobi was so shocked that he was beheaded.

Konoha always has the upper hand on the battlefield, so there is no need to worry too much about the possibility of losing on the front line.

But the Iwa ninja who are wreaking havoc within the Fire Country are in trouble.

There are also Kumo ninja who are ready to join the war.

The biggest problem facing Konoha Village now.

There is no one left.

Everyone who can be sent out has been sent out.

There is still a lot of top-level combat power, including him, Danzo and White Fang in front of them.

But without a ninja team, they could easily be beaten to death by them.

"Can you stop Kumo-nin?"

"Shamao."

White Fang looked up at Sarutobi Hiruzen, whose face was covered by smoke.
