Chapter 26

Could there be any good news for the Third Hokage to find him? Did the sun rise from the west, or did Konoha Village stop advocating the Will of Fire and start rewarding people based on merit?

"Although I don't know what it is, I'll just look forward to it."

He smiled brightly, as if he was looking forward to the congratulations from the Anbu. When he arrived at the Hokage's office building and the mission release hall, he found that everyone had been waiting for a long time.

"Minato-sensei, Kakashi-senpai, the Third Hokage and the advisors, what's going on?"When everyone saw Uchiha Kagetsu rushing over, Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed twice, glanced at the three people, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Hanazuki, are now recommended by our mentor, Orochimaru, and Minato Namikaze, to be appointed as jonins of Konoha Village."

Kakashi was prepared when this was said, but Hanazuki was slightly stunned. Konoha jonin? He didn't even take the Chunin exam, but was promoted to jonin directly?

"Wait, I haven't become a Chunin yet, is it really okay to make such an exceptional promotion?"

"It doesn't matter. Now is wartime. The appointment of Chunin and Jonin is entirely up to the village, and you have the ability to serve as a Jonin, Uchiha Kagetsu."

Puffing out smoke, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, put the pipe on the table, looked at the mission reports and ninja evaluations, and nodded slightly.

"Since graduation, he has saved the lives of hundreds of fellow villagers in Konoha Village, defeated the Kazekage advisor Chiyo on the Sand Village side, and preserved the vitality of Konoha in the battle of Kikyo Mountain."

"Just now, you defeated the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist Village. Your ability and broad-mindedness deserve recognition. Even if you don't say it, you are unconsciously acting according to the will of fire in your heart."

Utatane Koharu remained silent, while Namikaze Minato had a gentle expression and expressed his appreciation for Kagetsu's contribution to Konoha.

"Where the leaves of Konoha dance, the fire will also continue. The fire will illuminate the village and let the new shoots grow into towering trees. I hope you can become the fire of the village in the future, illuminating the darkness and protecting the young shoots of Konoha to grow strong."

"He tui......Sorry, I did it on purpose!"

Bang!

After enduring for a long time, Utane Koharu became angry again, pointed at Hanazuki who didn't care, and turned around and roared:

"Sarutobi! We must not let this guy become a jonin, even if he has made some contributions on the battlefield......."

"Calm down, Xiaochun, the so-called will of fire is not just talk, Uchiha Huayue's actions are the true implementer of the will of fire."

"The appointment of Konoha's jonin will be issued in a few days. Congratulations, Uchiha Kagetsu, Hatake Kakashi."

When the two left, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed deeply and looked at the yellow-haired man who had outstanding military exploits and could be called a role model of ninja.

"Minato, I'll leave that child in your care. His talent is unquestionable, and he treats his companions impeccably, but if he stays with Orochimaru, he may be affected by his paranoid thoughts."

"I understand. Huayue is a smart kid. Don't worry. He will definitely become an excellent jonin."

Minato nodded, and Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded imperceptibly, signaling everyone to leave.

Outside the Hokage's office building, Kakashi paused for a moment, his eyes full of doubts.

"why are you laughing?"

"It's nothing. Congratulations, Senior Kakashi. Once the official documents are issued, you will be a Jonin."

"A 12-year-old Konoha jonin, this is really rare, isn't it something worth celebrating?"

Kakashi lowered his eyes and said in a cold tone

"Are you showing off? Uchiha Kagetsu, who is only 10 years old and has just graduated from the Ninja School for a few months, has been promoted to the top of Konoha through the war."

"No, I think if I were Kakashi-senpai's friend, I would have planned a celebration for you, but if it were me, I probably wouldn't."

"After all, I'm not the type who has a lot of friends, right? Hahahaha......"

Seeing Huayue gradually walking away, Kakashi shook his head inexplicably

""Weirdo."

It was wartime, and the streets of Konoha were a little deserted. Huayue, who had nothing to do, was strolling on the street corner. As she turned the corner, a hurried figure bumped into her.

""Sorry! Are you okay?"

The soft voice full of apology and the papers scattered all over the floor made the girl who fell to the ground look a little distressed.

"It's okay, it's okay.......Kakashi was promoted to jonin, what's the secret celebration plan?......"

Turning his head, he looked at the girl who was packing up the celebratory posters, and a trace of memories flashed in his eyes.

"What! It turned out to be Senior Lin! She is really well-informed. She even knew that Senior Kakashi was about to be promoted to Jonin. What an admirable intelligence network!"

"Eh? Uchiha Kagetsu, it's Kagetsu! I'm so sorry, do you want to celebrate together?"

After finishing the cleaning, Nohara Lin smiled sweetly and gently and invited Kagetsu.

"Let’s celebrate together?"

"Okay, if you don't have any other tasks, then I'll be gracious to bother you."

The footsteps in the distance gradually approached, and Obito, wearing goggles and a sports suit, waved excitedly.

"Lynn, I......"

"Obito, come and help too!"

Nohara Rin took the opportunity to pass the celebration poster to Obito, and after hurriedly saying goodbye to Obito, she distributed it to the classmates around him, holding back the words he was about to blurt out. After

Nohara Rin walked away, a familiar voice sounded, which also made Obito slightly stunned.

"Hey, Obito-senpai has also successfully been promoted to Chunin. Congratulations, congratulations. Do you want to go eat dumplings together to celebrate?"

"It turned out to be Kazuki! Why did Kakashi become a jonin? Really, the same goes for Rin. They are all Kakashi's. I will definitely surpass him when I open my Sharingan."

Obito couldn't help but complain. He thought that the fellow student in front of him would only smile and comfort him, but Kazuki nodded repeatedly to show his agreement.

"That's right, if Obito-senpai can open the Sharingan, or even a more advanced eye technique than the Sharingan, it will definitely surpass Kakashi-senpai's."

"To borrow the words of Orochimaru, I have never been wrong in judging people. Your eyes hold the possibility of surpassing Senior Kakashi!"Kagetsu smiled with a look of conviction. Obito was so excited that tears streamed down his face and nodded vigorously.

"I know, I will be able to open the Sharingan successfully and surpass Kakashi. I will not let you down, Kagetsu!" Obito left with confidence, but Kagetsu nodded repeatedly.

‘Mangekyo is like drawing cards. How can N-card-level Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu compare to the SSR-level double Kamuy?’

"Are you here? My lovely disciple......"
