Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 171 Jonin Status Acquired

"call."

Jin gently held the teacup in both hands and blew on the steam rising from it.

Looking at the blue sky, white clouds, green grass, and clear water in the courtyard outside.

It was as if all fatigue had left him.

All that hard work and risking his life has made him enjoy his current feelings even more.

"What a relaxing day."

"Don't you think so, Qing?"

Jin looked at Hyuga Kiyoshi, who was sitting upright next to the table.

Nowadays, Hinata Kiyoshi frequently visits Kin's home, and the two appear to be good friends to the public.

Actually.

In response to Jin's question, Hyuga Kiyoshi solemnly replied, "The flames of war have now ceased. Apart from the ongoing battles in places unseen by ordinary people, there is nothing else that can affect Lord Jin."

"You've gone a bit off track, Qing."

"My apologies, sir."

Hyuga Kiyoshi respectfully admitted his mistake, deeply understood it, and continued to correct it.

This attitude left Jin speechless as he stared at the ceiling; he didn't really like people who were so proper.

The other party's rules, on the contrary, make him feel suppressed.

It ruins this relaxed atmosphere.

Jin hesitated for a moment before offering his suggestion.

"Actually, Qing, don't be so reserved when you're with me."

"This is my way of showing respect to adults."

pity.

Hyuga Kiyoshi remained unmoved.

For him, rules are the guiding principles of life. No matter what happened in the past, he now strictly adheres to his own rules.

"All right."

"As long as you're happy," Jin sighed and took a small sip of tea.

He didn't want to say much about Hinata Kiyoshi's attitude towards life.

Everyone has their own ideas.

He understands and respects it.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.

"You're really taking it easy, Kim."

With a "bang," a cloud of smoke billowed out, and Orochimaru appeared in front of Gin, sitting down at the table.

Jin calmly poured Orochimaru a cup of tea and handed it to him.

It was as if they had anticipated Orochimaru's appearance.

"Lord Orochimaru."

Hinata Kiyoshi greeted him respectfully.

Orochimaru nodded at him in a friendly manner, but glanced at Hyuga Kiyoshi a few more times out of curiosity.

Ever since obtaining Might Guy from Kinsho, the human trafficker Orochimaru has been trying to kidnap a few more ninjas comparable to Might Guy.

Even if he's a little weaker, it doesn't matter; he's willing to trade Might Guy for him.

"What brings Orochimaru-sensei to my place?"

Jin asked with a smile on his face.

"I'm here to bring you your Jonin certificate. Your ninja number has been added to the Jonin file."

Orochimaru took out a certificate from his sleeve and handed it to Kim.

"From today onwards, you are a formal Jonin."

"They have the right to form teams, the right to freely choose missions, and the right to follow elite Jonin."

Jonin is the pinnacle of the ninja profession; the next step up is the Hokage.

Theoretically speaking.

Jin is now on par with Orochimaru.

After all, "elite" is just a title, while "Jonin" is the real identity.

"Squad."

Jin stroked his chin and pondered for a moment.

Jonin do indeed have this authority, but this authority falls within the ranks of Genin and Chunin.

Students from the Ninja Academy are not included; their enrollment is arranged by the village.

In reality, Jonin would still carry out missions in their original teams or wait for the village's assignments to be carried out individually, and rarely would they actually carry out this order.

Because powerful ninjas don't need teammates, while weak ninjas want to find a big brother.

Nobody wants a group of weak people to hold them back.

After all, the missions carried out by Jonin are extremely dangerous.

"Then Qing, you can join my team. We'll find someone else for the rest."

Jin stroked his chin. Ninjas usually work in teams of three. A team of four Jonin is called a team leader.

"Thank you, Lord Jin."

Hinata Kiyoshi thanked him respectfully.

"So, has King-kun considered relying on any elite Jonin?"

Konoha Village actually has quite a few elite Jonin, including the Legendary Sannin, White Fang, the heads of several major clans, two advisors, and Danzo.

The Hokage does not belong to this category, because the entire Hidden Leaf Village belongs to the Hokage, except for the Root of the Hidden Leaf Village.

"Does Orochimaru-sensei have any suggestions?"

Jin already understood Orochimaru's purpose, but still tentatively inquired.

"Kin-kun has a good talent for ninjutsu research." Orochimaru licked his lips with his long, narrow tongue. "I wonder if Kin-kun would be willing to be my experimental assistant."

Jin took a sip of tea, a smile on his face.

"Didn't I call you Orochimaru-sensei?"

He has already given his answer.

After all, doing research with Orochimaru is far better than going out and risking your life on missions.

Moreover, Orochimaru wouldn't betray him like White Fang did.

After all, to some extent.

Kin is Orochimaru's successor, but he never uses most of Orochimaru's ninjutsu.

Why use something worse when there's something better available?

"King Jin, that was really refreshing."

Orochimaru also revealed a knowing smile.

If only Rope Tree were as intelligent as Gold.

How good.

It's that barbecue restaurant again.

The barbecue restaurant owner had a beaming smile on his face. Although the once desolate commercial street had recently become bustling again because of Konoha's victory.

But it still can't compare to the three Gods of Wealth who come here to eat.

After all, the cost of one meal for them is enough to cover a month's revenue.

The three of them sat at a table in the corner.

Kushina looked grief-stricken and indignant as she frantically stuffed meat into her mouth.

That's like they hate meat.

What's wrong with you?

"Before you show concern for me, can you please stop trying to steal my meat?!"

Kushina glared at Kin with a huff.

That despicable Uchiha.

Jin's hand moved like a blur, snatching away the pieces of meat even faster than Kushina, leaving Kushina with nothing left to eat.

"Whose fault is it if you can't get it!"

Jin was righteous and confident.

"It seems I have to teach you a lesson today." Kushina raised her chopsticks to block Kin's chopsticks.

Their faces began to show sharp angles, and an invisible aura emanated from them.

Minato Namikaze looked left and right, then unexpectedly picked up a slice of meat with his chopsticks.

The next moment, two pairs of chopsticks blocked his chopsticks at the same time.

Minato Namikaze's face also began to show sharp features, and an imposing aura began to emanate from him.

Now, Minato Namikaze has been successfully led astray by the two of them.

"Barbecue is the battlefield."

Minato Namikaze's chilling declaration.

"In the battle for barbecue, I stand in the heavens."

Jin's face was filled with arrogance.

"Mom, those three people are so scary."

The little girl eating barbecue next to them looked at the three of them with a horrified expression, as if she had seen a prehistoric monster.

The three of them quickly returned to normal and lowered their heads.

"Feel sorry."

"I'm so sorry."

"I made a mistake."

All three of them broke their spells at the same time.

The marks on the little girl's face became more defined the moment she turned around.

"A bunch of trash."

She broke down his defenses with just one sentence.

"Red, why did you change your art style?!"

The little girl quickly returned to normal, looking at her parents with an innocent expression.

"What art style?"
