Naruto: Starting from Tsunade-san

A few days later, in the morning.

The hanging sun adds a bit of warmth to the cold winter.

Hokage's office.

"The above is the specific situation of this mission..."

Orochimaru is neither humble nor arrogant, and reports his work in a clear and logical manner.

After hearing the work report, Sarutobi Hiruzen became more satisfied with Orochimaru the more he looked at him, thinking that he had really gained a good disciple.

The master's partiality overflowed from his eyes, Jiraiya saw it, put his hands behind the back of his head, snorted in dissatisfaction, and turned his head away, thinking that he would definitely win against Orochimaru in the future and make his master disgraced. look.

After the mission report was over, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked sideways at the two men and one woman beside him. The traces of time had left obvious dents on their faces.

Looking at them is like looking at my own lost youth.

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked: "What do you think of Orochimaru?"

Danzo said without emotion: "He is a finished product."

This is a very high evaluation, indicating that Orochimaru has all the characteristics of an excellent ninja.

Danzo is not a flatterer, and this sentence is a very objective evaluation of Orochimaru's current state.

As Danzo expressed his stance at the end, Koharu and Mito Kadeni expressed their stance one after another, and the content was similar to the previous ones.

Danzo squinted at the two of them, showing disdain.

When they were young, these two people were okay, but as time went by, these two people became more and more independent.

The so-called advisor has become an attachment to him and Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked his pipe, puffed out smoke, thought for a while, and then said: "I plan to promote him to a Jonin, what do you think?"

ps: The original work didn’t say it clearly, so I’m going to make a second guess. With Orochimaru’s qualifications, it shouldn’t be too much.

Hearing this, the other three people widened their eyes and were very surprised.

Jōnin?

They thought their ears had misheard.

How old is Orochimaru?

I'm only thirteen now.

Thinking about the age at which they became Jonin, and then thinking about the age at which Orochimaru became Jonin, it's really infuriating that people are more powerful than others.

Moreover, they became jounin at a relatively young age.

Of course, this is related to the factors of the times. After all, their time was much more peaceful.

At that time, Konoha still had the God of Ninja sitting in Konoha, and all countries were honest and did not dare to make mistakes.

It's not like now where a little friction happens every now and then.

Thinking of this, the three of them lamented how time passed so quickly. In the blink of an eye, they had transformed from the young boys into middle-aged people.

"The decision is yours."

Danzo looked deeply at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

What is the relationship between Orochimaru and Sarutobi Hiruzen? He is too ignorant.

Although with Orochimaru's ability, he does have this qualification.

But Danzo would not be so stupid to believe that Orochimaru would be promoted to Jonin for this reason alone.

He is no longer the political idiot he once was.

"What you said makes me sound like a dictator."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled: "If you have any opinions, you might as well speak up and we can discuss it further. Konoha is not my Konoha, this is everyone's Konoha.

If Qing Zhi were here, he would definitely be complaining crazily in his heart. This scene is very similar to some upright and awe-inspiring leaders in previous lives.

Mito Kadoyan and Koharu who went to bed looked at each other.

It was Koharu En who was transferred to the next room who spoke first: "Orochimaru is too young. Isn't it too early to become a Jonin?"

Mito Kadoen said: "Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from boys. I think there is nothing wrong with Orochimaru. Everyone has seen his usual performance. I don't think everyone will mind."

After turning to bed, Koharu said worriedly: "But Orochimaru is a disciple of the Hokage after all. Will anyone gossip?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen interjected: "What Koharu said makes sense, but I didn't think it through well, so let's forget about it."

Mito Menyan persuaded: "Hey, you should not avoid relatives when promoting talents. You also know that the world is not peaceful recently, and capable people are emerging in large numbers. For example, Hanzo, the Sanshou Fish in the Land of Rain, has been in the limelight for a while.

"As a village in Konoha, one of the five largest countries in the world, we cannot fall into the trap of being conventional. We must use extraordinary means in extraordinary times.

"I think there is no problem in promoting Orochimaru as a chuunin. If you continue to let Orochimaru be a chuunin, it will delay his development.

"Hiruzhan, please stop making excuses."

Watching these people singing along, Danzo, as a traditional ninja, felt very disdainful.

Use extraordinary means in extraordinary times, haha...

Precisely because those in power have the authority to define when an emergency period is, they should not abuse their power.

However, this is the beauty of rights.

He can turn white into white and black into white.

The rights represent the right of final interpretation.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slightly and said calmly: "Danzo, if you have any other opinions, you might as well mention two more points. Democracy..."

Danzo closed his eyes and said, "I have no objection."

The two of them had finished talking about both the good and the bad, so what else could he say?

Sarutobi Hiruzen half-heartedly said: "I have fully listened to and considered your opinions. So in that case, Orochimaru is qualified for the position of Jonin. However, this is temporary, and we will look at recent performance. If he is not suitable, let him go first." I will change from the position of Jonin, practice and practice, and if it suits me, I will continue to stay. What do you think?"

Danzo sneered inwardly.

Temporarily...

Ha ha……

When he was young, he still couldn't see how powerful his friend was, but as he got older and gained more knowledge, he became more and more convinced that he was powerful, especially in terms of speaking, he was really impeccable.

There is almost no difference between the so-called temporary rights and the formal rights. The only difference lies in the name.

With Hiruzen Sarutobi's final words, the other three people had no objections.

In this way, Orochimaru's appointment as Jonin was officially finalized in this small cabinet.

However, as Orochimaru became a senior ninja, a new question soon arose, that is, who would form a new team with Orochimaru.

Mito Menyan raised this issue.

Regarding this, Sarutobi Hiruzen had an idea and said fluently: "Tsunade and Jiraiya..."

Hearing this, the three of them nodded. These two people and Orochimaru were both members of Hiruzen Sarutobi's sect, so there was nothing wrong with rearranging the three of them together.

"But the problem is that there is still one person left." Someone continued to ask.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded: "Yes, do you have any suggestions?"

These three people have a close relationship. Hiruzen Sarutobi arranged them together. He obviously had his own plans. At this time, they should not add trouble to the leader. They all expressed that they had no suggestions and hoped that he would make a decision.

Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that the three of them were so well-informed and reasonable, and he randomly expressed his opinion: "Since no one has any ideas, I happen to have one, what do you think?"

"Who?"

The three of them were curious and thought about who was chosen by Hiruzen Sarutobi and specially placed in this team.

Under the curious glances of the three people, Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly read a name: "Aoji, Uchiha Aoji..."
