Chapter 434: Meritorious Service Rewards

Chapter 434: Battle Merit Rewards

“I think this battle can be highly publicized, just like the last time Namikaze Minato drew with AB combination.” Shimura Danzo was the first to express his thoughts.

“It will not only make the ninjas in the village more confident about the future of war, but also deter our hostile ninja villages.”

Mu Yue is a ninja at heart. Danzo Shimura believes that it is more beneficial for Mu Yue to gain a greater reputation and gain a higher status and more rights in Konoha.

 After all, he is the leader of the root organization that Mu Yue respects most, so Mu Yue can refuse the arrangement he ordered.

"It is true that it can increase morale, but can these increases in morale really compare to Hanyu Mozuki's role as a surprise soldier?" Koharu, who moved to bed, raised a different opinion.

"You have to know that this time he killed four of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen and also killed Minazuki Han. With a few more such results, Konoha will not be able to win the war."

  After returning to bed, Koharu believes that Konoha not only cannot help Mu Yue spread the record, but also has to let the ninjas below keep the secret and let Mu Yue act as a hidden killer.

"Have you not been on the battlefield for too long? Such results cannot be achieved with strength." Shimura Danzo said unceremoniously.

Although they are both quarrels, Shimura Danzo's quarrel with Koharu is somewhat different from his quarrel with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The main reason Danzo Shimura attacked Hiruzen Sarutobi was because he was unhappy with Hiruzen Sarutobi's suppression of him.

 The fact is just as he thought, after becoming the top leaders of Konoha, Mito Kado and Koharu Tenden rarely had their own opinions.

Like him, Koharu Koharu is a ninja who is dedicated to Konoha. As long as the starting point is towards Konoha or the final result is beneficial to Konoha, Koharu Koharu will not care about small details.

Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the current Hokage, has the absolute right to choose the next Hokage, he cannot ignore the voices within Konoha.

If the identities were reversed, then Koharu and Mito Kazuo would be his yes-men.

 Because this means that he is alone during high-level meetings.

Jiraiya was ahead of all other candidates when he won a great victory on the battlefield of Kusano Country, but as Orochimaru made great achievements on the battlefield of Yuno Country, he gradually caught up with Jiraiya.

 Because the first Hokage was elected by all Konoha ninjas, if Hiruzen Sarutobi chooses a person who is not recognized by everyone to become Hokage, this may cause some damage to the nobility of Hokage.

Looking at Koharu's reaction, Shimura Danzo nodded silently in his mind. Defeating Koharu, who had transferred to the dormitory, was equivalent to defeating the Mito Gate inflammation. The two of them usually advanced and retreated together.

Shimura Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen who didn't speak.

 In fact, Shimura Danzo did not think highly of the two of them. Although everyone could be regarded as a disciple of the Second Hokage, Shimura Danzo only had Sarutobi Hiruzen in his eyes, and believed that Sarutobi Hiruzen was a ninja at the same level as him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not speak immediately after feeling Shimura Danzo's gaze. Instead, he picked up his pipe and took a deep breath before exhaling wisps of white smoke.

Of course, Hiruzen Sarutobi is not a person who does not know the importance of importance. If he thinks that the person with the highest voice is not suitable to be the Hokage, he will appoint the person in his heart who is suitable for the Hokage even if he loses the nobility of the Hokage.

 The weakest one at present is Tsunade who did not go to the front line to join the battle, while Orochimaru and Jiraiya are currently evenly matched.

The reason why I moved to sleep with Koharu was because Danzo Shimura knew this old classmate too well.

With the characters of Koharu Koharu and Mito Kaden, even if they acquiesce at this moment, as long as Hiruzen Sarutobi comes up with a logical objection, they will immediately support Hiruzen Sarutobi, so Hiruzen Sarutobi's Opinions matter.

His more intense words made it easier for Koharu to understand his sincerity towards Konoha.

The question of whether to publicize achievements is not worth thinking about for too long for Hiruzen Sarutobi. He is thinking about other issues, one of which is the strength of the current Hokage candidates in Konoha.

However, Danzo Shimura knew that this was not because he was incompetent, but because Hiruzen Sarutobi was the third Hokage, and he was only the Hokage's assistant.

If they just don't have their own opinions, that's it. They are still the echoers of Hiruzen Sarutobi, which makes Danzo Shimura very unhappy.

  After all, she was promoted to a high-level official in Konoha after Hiruzen Sarutobi became Hokage. A powerful ninja village like Konoha rarely needs high-level personnel.

  She thought about it carefully before going to bed. Koharu did not refute Shimura Danzo's words. She had indeed not been on the battlefield for a long time.

 "Jiraiya, why don't you want to be Hokage so much?" Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed inwardly.

If Jiraiya was willing to become Hokage, then he wouldn't have to think so much. He had already arranged the way for Jiraiya, but in the end, Jiraiya didn't want to leave.

From Sarutobi Hiruzen's perspective, it was difficult for him to understand Jiraiya's choice.

 This is the position of Hokage in Konoha, with supreme power.

Although Naruto is nominally one level lower than the daimyo of the Fire Country, in fact the two are on an equal footing. The daimyo of the Fire Country cannot order Naruto to do something he doesn't want to do.

 Then Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of Muyue. If Muyue had been born five or six years earlier, Sarutobi Hiruzen would have accepted Muyue as his disciple without hesitation, and then trained Muyue in the direction of Hokage.

Mu Yue is the ideal disciple of Hiruzen Sarutobi. Like him, he has a talent for Ninjutsu far beyond ordinary people. He is gentle and humble and has a deep understanding of the will of fire. He even has unparalleled teaching ability. He is simply an enhanced version of youth. time of him.

Thinking about Mu Yue's character, and then thinking about the characters of his three disciples, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that it was really irritating that people were more powerful than others.

Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled white smoke and took down the pipe, "Even if it is to conceal information, it is difficult to replicate such a record, and there are still two ninja swords and seven people have escaped. Kirigakure will soon know about this." , there is no point in deliberately concealing it in this case, let’s use our strength to promote this victory.”

Mu Yue's results on the battlefield have far exceeded Sarutobi Hiruzen's expectations. When he fought with the hero of Sunagakure, Ye Cang, he asked Mu Yue to hide it once because he was concerned about the face of Sunagakure Village. This time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not prepared. I feel wronged to Mu Yue again.

 Mu Yue’s current fame is too incompatible with his strength.

　　After Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke, Koharu and Mito Monoharu also agreed, and Shimura Danzo showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"How should we reward this Matt Dai and let him be promoted to Jonin? But he doesn't seem to know Ninjutsu. It seems a bit against the rules to let a person who doesn't know Ninjutsu become a Jonin." Mito Kadoyan glanced at his hand. The information said.

  Konoha is very strict in the selection of jounin. In peacetime, jounin must not only have merit that satisfies promotion, but must also take various examinations to complete the promotion. Those who fail must continue to study until they pass the test before they can be promoted.

Although it was not so strict during the war, Matt Dai was not a partial subject, but only knew one subject. This had no precedent in Konoha, so Mitomon said it was against the rules.

"Then let's make him a special jounin. Anyway, he is only good at taijutsu, and it hasn't been long since he was promoted to a chunin. This is already considered a special promotion." After going to bed, Koharu looked at Matt Dai's information and said.

 That is to say, the credit this time is really not small, otherwise Xiaochun would not want to give Matt Dai a promotion. Although he clearly mastered such a powerful forbidden technique, he never used it for a long time and pretended to be a ten thousand year genin. She saw that he was a ninja without the will of fire.

Shimura Danzo closed his mouth and did not speak. It was none of his business what Matt Dai was promoted to.

"Rules are dead. Konoha has not changed its rules from the beginning to now. Whether it is ninjutsu, taijutsu or illusion, they are all part of the strength of ninjas. Matt Dai is capable of fighting two ninja swordsmen and seven people. , this kind of strength is enough to become a jounin." Sarutobi Hiruzen put forward the opposite opinion.

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew Matt Dai and had a brief fight with Matt Dai once, so Sarutobi Hiruzen roughly knew what kind of person Matt Dai was.

　　He believed that there was absolutely no problem in becoming a Jounin of Konoha with the character shown by Matt Dai.

Moreover, Matt Dai did make a great contribution this time. If Matt Dai had not provided timely support, then Kakashi and the others would not have been able to repel the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, nor would they have been able to persist until Mu Yue's arrival, and there would have been no chance of this success. Big win.

 "What you said makes sense, Hiruzen. Sometimes you really can't follow the rules rigidly." Mito Kaden showed a look of agreement.

 “Then let’s be promoted to Jonin.” Koharu also changed his mind when he went to bed.

Shimura Danzo couldn't help but have a look of disdain in his eyes. If Sarutobi Hiruzen had refuted his opinion, he would have had a few words with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

“Since Matt Dai has been promoted to Jonin, how will Hatake Kakashi and Met Kai deal with them?” Mito Kadoyan said again.

“Among them, except Hatake Kakashi, most of them were promoted to chunin in the past two years. Among them, Shiranui Genma, Ebisu, and Uchiha Shisui were promoted to chunin this year.”

It would be a bit scary if Kakashi and the others were also promoted to Jonin. There would be several younger Jonin in Konoha, and Shisui was only eight years old this year.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked thoughtful and then said: "Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Obito, and Metkai will conduct jonin inspections after returning to the village. After passing the exam, they can be promoted to jonin. Nohara Lin will be directly promoted to special jonin. , the rest remain unchanged for the time being.”

It is simple that Ebisu and Shiranui Genma are not on the promotion list. Although they have tried hard, they are basically just soy sauce in the battle and do not have the strength to be promoted to Jonin.

It is a terrible thing for a ninja whose strength does not match his ninja level. It will not only affect the reputation of the ninja village, but also make the ninja more likely to die in the mission.

Although Uchiha Shisui is strong enough, his achievements are not good. He does too few tasks and cannot meet the requirements of a Jonin.

Treating Nohara Rin and Obito differently is also a matter of strength. Nohara Rin's current strength is not enough to serve as a jounin, but her outstanding medical ability and merit are enough to be directly promoted to a special jounin.

 Mito Kadoen and Koharu, who had gone to bed, both showed expressions of approval. Sarutobi Hiruzen had considered every aspect.

 …

 After the meeting, Mu Yue visited the injured disciples.

Every disciple was injured this time, it was just a matter of severity.

 “Teacher Muyue!” Obito waved happily after seeing Muyue.

Shisui, who was not as passionate as Obito, also sat up and said hello to Muyue.

Kakashi sat up slightly and greeted Mu Yue softly.

Mitkai could only raise his head slightly to find Mu Yue's position because he was too seriously injured, and then greeted Mu Yue in a weak voice.

 “Is everything okay?” Mu Yue smiled warmly, then walked to the side of the disciples to check their bodies again.

This time Mu Yue used her transformation to become Tsunade to examine a few people. After the examination, she treated the disciples some more.

Because he was wearing black-rimmed glasses, none of the disciples noticed Mu Yue's changes. They only felt that his body had recovered a little under Mu Yue's treatment.

“Teacher Muyue’s medical ninjutsu has made great progress.” Kakashi was a little surprised after receiving treatment.

As the disciples become stronger and stronger, it is inevitable to get injured while practicing fighting. Most of the time, Mu Yue comes to treat them, and Nohara Rin is only responsible for assisting, so Kakashi is also aware of Mu Yue's medical ninjutsu level. .

 At a certain period of time, Mu Yue's medical ninjutsu advanced by leaps and bounds. According to Mu Yue himself, it was the result of learning from Tsunade.

Mu Yue has made obvious progress this time, and even a ninja like Kakashi who doesn't know medical ninjutsu can detect it.

“Teacher Muyue is indeed a genius who developed the Armed Color and Breathing Techniques.” Kakashi attributed the progress to Muyue’s talent and hard work.

He did not deny that Tsunade's contribution was involved, but he believed that the main reason was that Mu Yue was good enough. Otherwise, if Tsunade opened a medical ninja training class, wouldn't it be possible to train a bunch of medical ninjas at the level of little Tsunade.

“Teacher Muyue, when can we recover?” Obito couldn’t help but ask.

Although he showed his strength against the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, it was the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon that he cooperated with Kakashi to kill. Obito wanted to overwhelm Kakashi, so he wanted to recover as soon as possible and then Continue to fight.

"You, Shisui and Xiaolin can recover in ten days, Kakashi in three weeks, and Akai in one and a half months." Mu Yue thought for a while and replied.

Although Tsunade's medical ability is very strong, in order to avoid leaving hidden dangers to the disciples' bodies, Mu Yue is still prepared to let them rest for more time.

 “It actually takes so long!” Metkai’s eyes widened.

“You can start rehabilitation exercises after half a month of rest. Just don’t go too far.” Mu Yue added.

Metkai breathed a sigh of relief. It would be really uncomfortable for him if he couldn't practice for such a long time. It would be even more uncomfortable if Kakashi and the others took the opportunity to surpass him at this time.

"The battle on the battlefield will become more intense next. I am going to send you, Akai, back to Konoha. Do any of you want to go back with Akai?" Mu Yue looked at several other disciples.

After all, Kirigakure has invaded the Fire Country itself. As long as Kirigakure does not retreat, Orochimaru will definitely lead his ninja troops to fight Kirigakure to death.

Mu Yue has created such a good opportunity for Orochimaru. Orochimaru will definitely not let this opportunity go. The intensity of the war on the east coast battlefield will continue to increase.
