Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching...

"Hahaha!" Might Guy didn't feel embarrassed and laughed out loud.

"That's of course because I'm looking forward to the next battle with you, my best friend!" Might Guy said to Kakashi with a sharp look in his eyes.

Failure is not scary for Might Guy. After all, he has lost most of his life so far, and won only a few of them.

What he seeks is not an undefeated record, but to learn from failure and then forge future victories, so as to become the strongest.

Since Kakashi has become the leader from a pursuer, he naturally has to surpass Kakashi as soon as possible.

"Let's talk about it after you recover." Kakashi shook his head.

In other words, his body has not recovered yet, otherwise Kakashi would have challenged Shisui to avenge his previous defeat.

When Kakashi defeated Might Guy, Obito, and Shisui in a row, he thought that he must defeat them all after he became stronger. Now that he has finally caught up in strength, Kakashi will not miss such a good opportunity.

After all, Mu Yue’s disciples are too competitive, and Kakashi doesn’t think he can always stay ahead.

If Might Guy could stabilize the Four Gates and the Konoha Dragon God could improve further, he might not be able to win in this transparent world that he has not yet fully mastered.

Kakashi planned to first make the transparent world able to be turned on and off freely. Anyway, he couldn't do any strenuous exercise recently, so he could use all his time to study the transparent world.

"Hey, you guys are here too." Asuma spotted Kakashi and the others and greeted them.

"Akagi, Asuma, have you also been notified to go to the Hokage's office?" Obito asked after responding.

Might Guy and Asuma both nodded.

Seeing this, Obito immediately started thinking and guessing the reason.

"Could it be that our performance is so good that the Third Hokage wants to let us enter some secret department?" Obito said as if he suddenly understood.

Kakashi's mouth twitched, and he had to admit that Obito's thinking was different from that of ordinary people.

If it was just Obito, him, and Might Guy, then it would be possible, but with Nohara Rin and Asuma also among them, that makes it impossible.

"It's probably about the promotion to Chunin." In order to prevent Obito from continuing to imagine strange things, Kakashi directly gave his reliable answer.

"That should be the case, otherwise there would be no need to call me to the Hokage Building." Asuma nodded and said.

"But Kakashi, aren't you already a Chunin?" Obito looked at Kakashi with a puzzled look.

"I also took the Chunin Exam. When we get to the Hokage Building, you will naturally know whose guess is right." Kakashi didn't want to argue too much with Obito on this issue. After all, it was not a good idea for a Chunin to take the Chunin Exam.

When Kakashi arrived at the Hokage Building, he became more certain of his guess because he also saw Nara Yui and Yamashiro Aoba, two other candidates who also took the Chunin Exam.

Everyone entered the Hokage's office together. It was Obito's first time in the Hokage's office, so he looked around curiously, only to find that the Hokage's office was completely different from what he had imagined.

Obito thought that the Hokage's office was filled with scrolls that looked extremely dangerous and contained secrets, and powerful ninja tools were hung on the walls.

The real Hokage's office has a big desk and many windows, and nothing else, not even any extra chairs.

"You all performed very well in the Chunin Exams. Not only the ninjas who scored, but even the officials and clients who came to watch the competition recognized your performance, so I decided to promote all of you to Chunin!" Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say too much nonsense and explained the matter directly.

Nara Yuito, Yamashiro Aoba and Asuma were all eliminated in the first round, but they all played to their level and were included in the promotion list based on their overall performance.

Not to mention Kakashi and the others, they can be said to have embodied the momentum of Konoha, and the strength they displayed is no longer comparable to that of ordinary Chunin.

Kakashi was extremely calm. He automatically ignored Sarutobi Hiruzen's words and just thought of himself as accompanying Obito and the others. He was already a Chunin, so what was the point of promotion?

Asuma's expression was one of relief. It wasn't that he wasn't strong enough, but that Obito, Kakashi and the others were too outrageous.

Nara Yui smiled, thinking that his hard work was worth it. Although he was slightly inferior to Nohara Lin, he finally completed the promotion.

A smile also appeared on Yamashiro Aoba's face. He was originally confident in his own strength, but unfortunately he met Kisame in the first round. He has been worried about the promotion issue these days.

"I'm on the same level as my father now. I'll strive to be promoted to Jonin together with my father as soon as possible!" Might Guy was a little excited.

Since his father was previously ridiculed as a ten-thousand-year-old Genin, Might Guy is a little concerned about the ninja level.

"We passed it together." Nohara Lin thought to herself with a gentle smile on her face.

Before the exam, she was worried that she would fall behind, but after the exam, Nohara Lin no longer felt any pressure, because she had fought with all her strength in the third game, and she could accept any result.

"He really was promoted to Chunin." Obito felt that Kakashi was lucky today, and this was what he guessed right.

"What? Are you not satisfied with being promoted to Chunin? You still have a long way to go if you want to be promoted to Jonin. Keep working hard like Mu Yue and Minato." Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile.

"Hehe, not really, but all members of our team are Chunin now, so can we take on high-level missions?" Obito replied with a smile.

Obito was naturally very happy to be promoted to Chunin. After all, Kakashi had always used his Chunin status to suppress him before. Now that everyone was a Chunin, Kakashi no longer had to use his status to suppress him.

"Theoretically, there should be no problem if it's below level A, but for level A, it depends on Minato's arrangement." Sarutobi Hiruzen said, stroking his beard.

Now Obito and the others can take on missions on their own without Minato, because they are already three Chunins and have no problem taking on B-level missions on their own.

But that won't work for A-level. A-level must have at least one special jonin, and S-level must be led by an experienced formal jonin.

"A-level is not bad." Obito smiled excitedly and chose to ignore the last few words of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Although Obito has A-level and S-level missions in his mission history, these were changed later. Obito has not yet officially accepted an A-level mission.

"These are your promotion forms and Chunin vests. From now on, you are Chunin of Konoha. You need to take on more responsibilities and will receive more dangerous missions!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said seriously, then stood up and distributed the corresponding promotion forms to several people. As for the vests, they were all the same, so they took them themselves.

Becoming a Chunin not only brings more rights, but also requires taking on more responsibilities.

Except for extremely important missions, generally not all Jonins are dispatched, and the main force is Chunin.

"As long as we can protect Konoha, no matter how dangerous the mission is, it doesn't matter." Obito said that he is not afraid of danger.

Seeing Obito's words that reflected the will of fire, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, thinking that Obito might become the next Uchiha Kagami.

Sarutobi Hiruzen really had nothing to ask them, so everyone except Asuma quickly left the Hokage's office.

"Xiao Lin, I told you that we are all fine." Obito said to Nohara Lin while turning the Chunin vest left and right.

"Yeah, you're right, Obito." Nohara Rin responded with a soft smile.

As the voices of his companions faded away, Asuma asked Sarutobi Hiruzen directly, "Anything else? It's fine, I need to go train."

He was about to leave when he was stopped by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"The aura of your Vacuum Jade is too scattered, otherwise it would be able to penetrate the Phoenix Fire. There is also a problem with your practice of the Great Flame Technique. The flame temperature is too low." Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up his pipe and talked about Asuma's problems with the Chunin Exam.

"Tsk, you know so much." Asuma turned and left with a dark face.

Just as Asuma opened the door to the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke again.

"But the last combined ninjutsu was alright, so the overall performance was acceptable."

I wanted to write more, but I have a slight fever today. It's not serious, but it makes it hard to write because my brain is hot. I hope I'll feel better tomorrow.

Chapter 333: Disciples Explode Gold Coins

Asuma paused, wondering for a moment if he had heard it wrong.

Although it's not a compliment like "I'm proud of you" or "I'm awesome", this is a comment Asuma has never received before.

When he first achieved first place in actual combat in the Ninja School, he returned home excitedly and told Sarutobi Hiruzen.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't react much, he just hummed calmly, as if something insignificant had happened.

At first, he hoped to hear Sarutobi Hiruzen say "I am proud of you". At that time, Asuma still admired his father, the Hokage, very much. This was the Hokage, the Hokage that everyone admired and respected.

No matter what achievements Asuma made in the Ninja School, he could not get the recognition of Sarutobi Hiruzen. His expectations gradually decreased. He initially hoped to get Sarutobi Hiruzen's praise, but later Asuma would be satisfied even if Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded to him.

But no, Sarutobi Hiruzen never nodded in appreciation of his achievements. In Asuma's memory, Sarutobi Hiruzen only preached to him, asking him to learn from his calm elder brother and to be like Orochimaru during his time at the ninja school.

"Do you need to tell me this? This was taught by Teacher Mu Yue." Asuma said with a pout.

Although Asuma still did not have a good expression towards Sarutobi Hiruzen, it could be seen that the atmosphere had eased a lot.

"You can ask me if you don't understand something. I have quite a bit of experience in combination ninjutsu." Sarutobi Hiruzen said while spitting out white mist.

"Can you teach me well?" Asuma was very skeptical.

He did not doubt Sarutobi Hiruzen's understanding of combination ninjutsu and his own strength. After all, Naruto was still very valuable, but whether he could teach well was another matter.

"Then I'll teach Mu Yue first and then let him teach you?" Sarutobi Hiruzen said speechlessly when he saw that his teaching level was questioned again.

The only person in Konoha who dared to question his ability so blatantly was Asuma.

"I think this is quite reliable." Asuma's eyes lit up, feeling that this might be better than Sarutobi Hiruzen teaching him directly.

"Go and practice quickly." Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his forehead and told Asuma to leave quickly. This kid was really a worry.

Asuma hummed a little tune and walked out of the Hokage's office. He was in a very good mood and even closed the office door gently.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and continued to deal with official business.

After a while, the office door was opened again and Danzo Shimura walked in.

"Huruzen..." Shimura Danzo was about to say something when he was interrupted by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Why don't you knock on the door? And you have to use your job title during working hours." Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a stern face.

Danzo Shimura was a little confused. He was usually like this, and Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say anything. Why did he act like he had eaten a detonating tag today?

"Hiruzhan, you..."

"It's working time now." Sarutobi Hiruzen emphasized again.

Danzo Shimura didn't know what was wrong with Sarutobi Hiruzen today, but since a higher-ranking official can crush someone more powerful, Danzo Shimura could only reluctantly call out the Third Hokage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression finally softened and he asked, "Tell me what you want to say."

"I need Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Obito to join the Root." Danzo Shimura said directly.

"Your Root organization is still short of two Chunins?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was not prepared to agree to Danzo's request.

"They are Chunin now, but they have great potential and the Root organization needs such ninjas." Danzo continued.

"Forget about this. The Root Organization cannot expand any further. If I find out that the Root Organization is secretly developing illegal members again, I will cut the Root Organization's funding." Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a warning tone.

He knew that Danzo was not an honest man, and even if he rejected Danzo, he might do something in secret, so he warned him in advance.

"We can do without Hatake Kakashi, but Uchiha Obito must join the Root. An Uchiha like him is too dangerous. We must be highly vigilant to prevent the next Uchiha Madara from appearing." Danzo stated his true purpose.

What he really wanted was Obito, and he brought Kakashi with him just to pave the way for this sentence.

Danzo Shimura always kept in mind the teachings of his teacher Tobirama Senju, that Uchiha clans are inherently evil and that one must remain vigilant against them at all times.

If it was an ordinary Uchiha, it would be fine, but Uchiha Obito already had dual magatama Sharingan at the age of nine, and also mastered excellent fire escape technique, which made Shimura Danzo very uneasy.

Although he was secretly training a Wood Release Ninja, that Wood Release Ninja was much younger than Obito. It would be troublesome if Obito rebelled like Uchiha Madara before the Wood Release Ninja grew up.

"Obito is an Uchiha with the will of fire. He is not dangerous. I believe that under Minato's guidance, Obito will become the next Kagami." Sarutobi Hiruzen put the pipe in his mouth, took a puff and said.

Based on Obito's current performance, Sarutobi Hiruzen does not think that Obito is dangerous. On the contrary, he is very optimistic about Obito. Having Minato lead Obito is undoubtedly much more reliable than Danzo Shimura.

"Huruzen, have you forgotten your teacher's teachings?" Danzo said dissatisfiedly.

"Those Uchiha are too dangerous. The village has been so kind to them, yet they still want to rebel."

Danzo tried to use the hawkish Uchiha coup during the reign of Senju Tobirama to make Sarutobi Hiruzen understand the danger of the Uchiha.

"The teacher also said that the Uchiha should be properly guided." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head.

"Instead of these, you should focus more on obtaining intelligence on the enemy country." Sarutobi Hiruzen completely rejected Danzo's proposal.

Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen had no intention of giving in, and considering Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude at the beginning, Danzo was burning with anger.

"Huruzen, you will regret this!" Danzo said coldly and slammed the door of the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to handle his official business with a calm expression and felt much more at ease.

If I can’t do anything to my son, I can’t do anything to you, Danzo?

Sarutobi Hiruzen will not allow the roots to continue expanding. If the root tissue becomes stronger, it will become too big to be controlled.

The Root Organization is a department established by Danzo Shimura under the guise of cultivating Anbu. At the beginning, it was just a small affiliated organization of Anbu, but with the efforts of Danzo Shimura, its influence has continued to expand, and now it has the momentum to become the Anbu among the Anbu.

Sarutobi Hiruzen would naturally not let this happen. If the Root organization really surpassed the Anbu in strength, it would be a disaster.

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt relieved in the office, but Danzo became more and more angry when he walked out of the office.

When he was young, he was no worse than Sarutobi Hiruzen, but now he is completely suppressed by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"If the teacher had chosen me, Konoha would be even stronger now!" Danzo Shimura thought indignantly.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen is slightly stronger than him, he is indecisive and cannot compare with him in handling affairs.

Danzo Shimura wanted to improve so much that he really wanted to tell Sarutobi Hiruzen one day that he was the Hokage.

At this moment, Danzo Shimura suddenly thought of his subordinate who was no longer a member of the Root.

It seems that Mu Yue is Uchiha Obito's trainee teacher, and he respects Mu Yue very much, so Mu Yue should have enough understanding of Uchiha Obito.
