My ninjutsu is not right

Chapter 125 S-level mission

A week later, in the Hokage's office.

"Sandaime-sama."

Link walked in and bowed slightly to show respect. As for the two advisors on his left and right—

Strictly speaking, the two advisors were only jonin, almost on the same level as him, so there was no need for them to salute. He saluted the Sandaime not because he was the Hokage, but out of pure respect. He had never had any interaction with the two advisors before, so he couldn't say they were close.

Naturally, there was not even any eye contact to communicate.

The Sandaime Hokage smiled and said, "Link, the village has a mission for you."

"Please go ahead." Link listened attentively.

Although he served in the medical team, his promotion to Special Jonin did not rely on medical ninjutsu, and he actually had no ability to refuse the missions assigned by the village.

"This is an S-rank mission." The Sandaime Hokage paused, "The village has decided to let you take care of the Jinchūriki of the Sand Village."

Is it because I single-handedly suppressed Gaara and the other three during the Chunin Exam?
Link nodded and said, "In what form?"

This is more important as it concerns his identity. We can't let him join the Anbu directly now.

"Special Jonin Link, from today on, you are no longer a member of the medical team." Utane Koharu said, "As a new special Jonin, you are qualified to become a guiding Jonin and lead a team of Genin sent by the Sand Village."

No way... I'm only ten years old?

Link's expression didn't change at all. He had already guessed the village's arrangement. Let him lead Gaara and the other three to carry out the mission?

He first thought that his training would be interrupted, and the Sand Village sending the Genin here was part of the new treaty. He had never thought that he would lead the Sand Village team before. This was not as simple as being a nanny. There were certain political considerations as well. After all, it was also a means to subtly influence the new generation of the Sand Village to lean towards Konoha.

Regardless of age, qualifications, or——

Wait, it seems like bringing Gaara along is a good thing. It allows for sustainable utilization of the tailed beasts, and also gives me a very powerful meat shield.

"You can go to the Ninja School to meet them now." The Sandaime Hokage smiled, "Your subordinates are waiting for you in Room 201 of the Ninja School."

Mitomon En suddenly said, "Link, you are a special jonin. You must remember that your identity is not only a guiding jonin, but also a supervisor."

"The village has re-arranged the seal on the Jinchūriki." Utatane Koharu took over the conversation, "If necessary, you can directly eliminate the Jinchūriki."

This is much more explicit.

The Sandaime Hokage was obviously a little dissatisfied. His smile disappeared and he frowned slightly, but he did not refute them in front of his two old friends.

"Yes." Link responded and left with a calm expression.

"Koharu, Yan..." the Sandaime Hokage said, "You are going too far."

"Come on, Hiruzen." Utane Koharu looked over, "He is different from the other little guys. We have already decided to make him a special jonin. Do we still want him to live in a naive world?"

Mitomon Yan shook his head and said, "That rejuvenation technique..."

"We must have enough trust in the younger generations of the village." The Sandaime Hokage interrupted his old friend.

This was not the first time they had talked about or argued about Link's affairs. Whether it was communicating with the dead, destroying barriers, or the art of rejuvenation, these were all techniques that could truly change a war.

Such a technique is in the hands of a ten-year-old child... Even if it is a bloodline limit, it should be recorded, preserved, and even protected.

Even though they blocked the news after the Chunin Exams, there was still no consensus within the village.

"I agree that we should trust the younger generations of the village." Utane Koharu stood up, "But the Jinchūriki should be controlled directly instead of sending someone to supervise them."

She didn't specifically point out any Jinchūriki, and directly AOE'd the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki Uzumaki Naruto who was allowed to leave.

Mitomon En also stood up and said, "The old man Ebizo from the Sand Village took the initiative to propose that Link be the supervisor. Maybe he is coveting the village's bloodline limit."

It has directly changed from Link's Kekkei Genkai to the 'village's' Kekkei Genkai.

"That's enough." The Sandaime Hokage knocked on the table and said, "I believe Link will become the bond between the village and the Sand Village."

After he, as the Hokage, finalized the nature of the matter, the two advisors left without saying anything more, just as the interview with Link had been repeatedly postponed.

Sitting in the empty Hokage's office, he took off his hat, stood up and walked to the terrace, looking at the bustling village outside.

He had met with Uchiha Sasuke. The silent child who was full of hatred had been completely changed. The darkness in his eyes was no longer filled. Although he still had grudges against the village, he did not go to extremes...

Link is gradually making up for the wrongs he and the village have done, and his trust is valuable.

Xiaochun and Yan will never understand this, and perhaps no one can understand his trust in that child, but it doesn't matter.

The meaning of the Will of Fire was that the elders sacrificed themselves for the children, and he was glad that he didn't start another war, or let the children sacrifice themselves for the village, but that he was finally shouldering some of the responsibility.

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his head, looked at the warm sun in the blue sky, and smiled.
-
Shimura House.

"The Daimyo is very pleased with your plan..."

The Fire Nation minister who came to participate in the talks sat opposite and said, "Follow your plan, Danzo."

"If everything goes well, we will support you to become the new Hokage."

"Thank you very much." Shimura Danzo had a humble smile on his face, without any trace of the dark side of the ninja world.

"Then it's time to say goodbye." The minister stood up and said, "I wish you all the best."

"I wish you all the best." Shimura Danzo sent the person out the door, stood at the door, thought a lot, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Hiruzen's weakness allowed him to climb out of the ditch, and the new daimyo, who was full of vigor and ambition, was just as ambitious as he was.

He needs a chance to become Hokage, and the new daimyo also needs a chance to secure his position and show that he is different from his father...

The economic lifeline of the Sand Village, its Jinchūriki, and high-level ninjas were all in their hands, but in the end, they gave them up so easily.

Whether it is a punishment for betraying the allies or obtaining sufficient benefits, the newly signed treaty is bound to fail to satisfy most people.

Link, Jinchūriki, treaty, he retreated again and again, and never directly refuted the Hokage's ideas, so he could win the approval of more people...

[Hiruzen, it looks like I'm finally going to beat you for once]
