My ninjutsu is not right

Chapter 108 Promotion and Trouble

The next day, the Hokage's office.

"This year's Chunin Exam..."

The jonin had gathered together, with the Sandaime Hokage and two advisors sitting behind their desks, discussing all the next matters of the village.

This is the secret discussion time among Konoha's top leaders.

Link, a Chunin, sat in the back, feeling a bit awkward, as those present were either special jonin or jonin. He was young, inexperienced, and even more so a Chunin, so he received many strange looks from the jonin in the middle.

"Regarding the transfer of the Fourth Kazekage..."

"Defense of the border..."

"Compensation for the dead and injured ninjas..."

"Reconstruction of collapsed buildings..."

"Daimyo and the nobles..."

The meeting proceeded in an orderly manner. There were many things, big and small, that were dealt with. After all, they had experienced a small-scale war, and there were many troubles afterwards.

The Sand Village might be condemned for the death of its nobles, but can the Konoha Village escape?

As the organizer, such a serious incident will definitely affect its reputation. The Sand Village has decided to go for broke. There are not many missions anyway, and Konoha was originally thriving and recovering.

Moreover, casualties and building reconstruction are expenses, and the finances will also be under considerable pressure. Once the Konoha collapse plan is implemented, the casualties are not large at present, but the other losses are not small.

Normally, it is possible to recover health by exploiting the defeated party, but the Sand Village...

They are so poor that they have to rely on the Fourth Kazekage to dig gold for a living. However, the gold cannot be directly exchanged for money and depends on market demand.

Originally, Konoha had never thought that the Sand Village could be so poor. After receiving the prisoners and getting to know the situation a little, they found that everyone from the Hokage to the advisors to the senior ninjas had a headache.

No money, no resources, no tasks, extremely poor geographical environment, and lack of talent.

This was the third meeting in one day, first the Hokage and the advisors, then the Hokage and a few jonin, and now they were holding a general meeting to pool their wisdom and try to find the most appropriate solution.

The key is not to kill the prisoners.

We can only discuss using gold to pay for the war reparations, and also the use of manpower. Konoha Village has many tasks, so we can borrow some ninjas from the Sand Village...

On the surface, it is to enhance friendship, but in reality it is to influence the other party subtly and find ways to get free labor.

Also, in terms of ninjutsu, some ninjutsu that Konoha Village does not possess can also be appropriately "exchanged".

The Sand Village had no other choice. After their last-ditch effort failed, they were at the mercy of others. The only reason they were not annexed was purely because of the reaction of the other three major countries.

In the end, the meeting, which lasted more than two hours, ended before lunch, but no one left.

"One last thing."

The Sandaime Hokage took off his bamboo hat with a smile, and changed from being a Hokage back to being an old man who loved the village. He looked at Link in the last row and said:

"Congratulations, Link, special jonin."

Nara Shikaku, who was sitting in the front row, smiled and gave his disciples an encouraging look. Hatake Kakashi, Yuhi Kurenai, Asuma, Might Guy...

Oh, by the way, there was also Mitarashi Anko who suddenly rushed over to hug him and shouted congratulations.

Link slowly exhaled, looked at everyone's welcoming eyes, actions and words, and slowly smiled.

After traveling through ten and a half years, working hard day and night, and growing little by little... he finally entered the upper echelons of Konoha Village.

Even if it was just a special jonin, he still got a ticket.

No longer a Genin or Chunin who was commanded at will, but a Jonin with command and decision-making power. Link pushed away the increasingly annoying Mitarashi Anko, stood up, and thanked the Sandaime Hokage.

[It feels... not bad.]
-
In the afternoon, the seventh training ground.

"Great!"

Iris cheered loudly, the boss's promotion to special jonin made him look super excited.

Xia also said happily: "Let's go downstairs and have barbecue later, it's my treat!"

Link smiled and looked at Uchiha Sasuke next to him, and said: "I am the one who has been promoted, of course I will treat you..."

Uchiha Sasuke turned his face away and said, "I will go."

It still feels awkward.

Link's smile widened, he didn't ask Sasuke to immediately congratulate him with a happy face, that would not be like an awkward Uchiha.

"By the way, Boss, we are going to carry out the mission out of the village tomorrow..." said Iris.

The more wars Konoha experiences, the more it wants to complete tasks better and faster in order to show its muscles to the outside world.

The reconstruction of many buildings and walls in the village also requires a lot of labor, which can be converted into tasks and assigned to the Genin.

Listening, Uchiha Sasuke also spoke up: "Me too, Team 7 will be going on a mission soon."

"Well, today is the day when our collective training will temporarily come to an end." Link looked at the three people's faces.

After getting busy, I don’t have time to come here to practice every day. Even if I come here occasionally, I will most likely miss the time.

The next Chunin Exam will be in a year, so there is definitely no way we can all get together in a short period of time.

The same goes for him. After becoming a special jonin, he has too many tasks to complete. Don't think that there is no threshold to becoming a jonin, just be promoted.

Both the Neji in the comics and the current Neji were promoted directly after they became capable enough, but in reality, a normal jonin would basically perform no less than a hundred high-level missions.

There are fewer jonin in particular, but not too many.

As a special jonin like him who has only completed a single-digit number of high-level missions, he is expected to face a large wave of missions.

Iris and Kasumi were silent, but Uchiha Sasuke spoke up: "I will be promoted to Chunin as soon as possible."

He actually doesn't care about levels like Genin or Chunin, as long as he can become stronger. However, only when he is promoted to Chunin will he have enough free time.

Otherwise, as a Genin, you must follow your superiors to carry out various missions.

As a ninja, you can't always decide what to do.

"Me too!" Iris and Kasumi said in unison, "I will definitely be promoted in next year's Chunin Exam, Boss."

"Don't think too much." Link smiled and patted Iris' back, then pressed Uchiha Sasuke's shoulders and said, "Let's go, today's training ends here, let's go eat barbecue."

After he finished the meeting, he was dragged by a group of senior ninjas to have lunch together, and then spent the whole afternoon with Nara Shikaku. It was almost evening when he arrived at the training ground.

Uchiha Sasuke, the struggler, did not refute, and followed him out of the training ground and walked on the empty street.

"Isn't it a bit too quiet?" Xia keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Link stopped and looked at the two figures in the distance wearing black robes with red clouds, and sighed silently.

This is trouble.
