Alone and Infinite

Seeing the smile on Li Xia's face, Hyuga Hiashi smiled as well, a hint of arrogance in his eyes:

"Anbu Special Jonin, can be promoted to Jonin at any time as long as the number of missions reaches the target!"

Promoted to Jonin?

Li Xia's eyes lit up!

Chapter 261 Abyss Apostles Invade! (6k-word chapter)

The term "Special Jonin" refers to a special type of person.

Their strength surpasses that of Chunin, and in some aspects, they have reached the level of Jonin.

However, in terms of comprehensiveness, it cannot compare with the Jonin, so the position of Special Jonin was created.

For example, Ebisu and Hayate Gekko, whose names sound like those of the main characters but who are actually just extras, are both special Jonin.

The green vest was even sealed in a plastic bag.

The panel is also quite simple.

【Konoha Vest】

Category: Apparel

[Description: Excellent breathability and high flexibility, but negligible defensive capabilities; a symbol of rank above Chunin]

It probably has no real use; the Temple of Light didn't even bother to mark it as being unable to be taken out of this world.

“Xia, you’ve just arrived in the ninja world, so you might not fully understand the structure of the ninja villages yet.”

Seeing Li Xia's delighted expression as he carefully examined the vest and identity document, Hiashi Hyuga couldn't help but smile as well.

"Let me tell you about it."

After listening to Hiashi Hyuga's brief explanation of the village's structure, he then said:

"This ninja vest is a symbol of identity, but since you are an ANBU member, you don't need to wear it."

If you want to wear it, you can wear it during your rest time or when you don't need to be on duty.

Each member of the Dark Division has their own unique uniform; you will be reporting to the Dark Division shortly.

I've already made arrangements; you won't be assigned any difficult tasks, you'll likely only be assigned village guard duties."

Li Xia nodded and simply tied the headband to her arm. As for the green vest, she handed it over to Aowu.

Seeing Xiaolong make his disguise disappear out of thin air, Hiashi Hyuga's eyes clearly showed amazement and envy.

He had asked Aowu about this during a previous conversation.

It can only be said that the name Otsutsuki is very useful. Li Xia simply and neatly attributed the existence of Aowu to Otsutsuki Hamura, who had been dead for who knows how many years.

The personal space is directly packaged as Aowu's innate ability—the ability to unfold a small space for storing things.

At this moment, besides marveling at how useful the spatial bloodline limit of the Dragon Clan was, Hyuga Hiashi was also...

They could only secretly complain to themselves why their ancestors hadn't left more good things for the Hyuga clan.

"Could the reporting to the Dark Division be postponed for two days?"

Li Xia put away his things, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said.

Seeing Hiashi Hyuga's somewhat puzzled look, he added:

"The initial training phase is crucial. If I were to enter the Dark Division now, what if they assign me a mission?"

As the saying goes, if you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way. Goodwill and trust are built up through the little things in everyday life.

Hiashi Hyuga was somewhat moved, and nodded repeatedly in sudden realization:

"It was indeed my oversight. It's alright. Let's focus on teaching the children first. I'll make arrangements for the Dark Division."

Using the excuse of continuing to teach Neji and Hinata, Li Xia quickly took his leave.

"Boss, this is a great find! A special Jonin from the Anbu!"

Aowu tapped the headband strapped to its arm with its little paws, producing a crisp clanging sound, clearly indicating that it had good protective capabilities.

It was indeed unexpected that Hiashi Hyuga was able to obtain the title of Special Jonin; he must have paid a heavy price.

Although the term "Special Jonin" includes the word "Special," it still means that one has already stepped into the Jonin rank.

Jonin are the core strength of every ninja village, and the number of Jonin directly determines the strength of a ninja village.

According to Hiashi Hyuga, Konoha has barely reached three digits of Jonin, and even including Special Jonin, the number is less than 200.

This is already a strength that surpasses the five great ninja villages.

Of these Jonin, those from Konoha's various clans, large and small, accounted for more than 50%, with the Hyuga clan alone having six Jonin.

The Akimichi, Nara, and Yamanaka clans form a close alliance, and they have a considerable number of Jonin (high-ranking ninja).

The remaining families include Aburame, Inuzuka, and some small, unpopular clans.

Therefore, every special Jonin, and even every Jonin promotion, requires the Hokage's approval.

Li Xia's previous experience was completely blank. In order to obtain the status of a special Jonin, in addition to the strength of the Hyuga clan itself, he must have paid a lot of extra price.

"But I also put a lot of thought and effort into it."

Li Xia breathed a sigh of relief. Since entering the Naruto world, he hadn't experienced many battles, and even when he did, they were all crushing defeats.

But he used his brain far more than usual, whether it was the deal with Orochimaru or disguising himself as an Otsutsuki to gain the Hyuga's approval.

Each step may seem easy, but in reality, it is the result of long-term thinking and careful consideration.

The story begins with a fight with Kimimaro, followed by repeated back-and-forth conversations, which builds a profile of the underprivileged and subtly showcases the protagonist's value.

Then, by using the Baguazhang (Eight Trigrams Palm) of the same name to make up for the shortcomings of the Soft Fist, and through detailed Q&A, they built goodwill.

This led to a natural progression, culminating in a perfect start to the first round of main quests.

Dual identities are possible!

Li Xia even dared to say that even if he made a detailed strategy, no apostle of the same rank could replicate it!

"Hey, boss!"

Suddenly remembering something, Aowu asked in the team chat:

"That hidden identity... I just can't figure it out no matter how hard I try."

Li Xia smiled; he knew what Aowu was talking about.

From the moment they deduced their hidden identities, the two began to ponder what the purpose of concealing their identities would be.

And how to trigger a hidden identity.

At first, Li Xia himself had no clue, but as time went by, and he gradually gained a deeper understanding of the structure of the ninja village.

He had already made his judgment.

"We had previously deduced that the hidden identity was an ANBU spy from the Hidden Cloud Village, but the Hall did not provide any clues."

At this point, there are only two possibilities.

Awoo immediately continued:

"I've taken that into consideration."

Firstly, our inference is incorrect.

The second view is that the Hall of Light believes that directly granting identity verification would lead to us gaining an advantage too early or too much.

Therefore, we must verify this further.

Li Xia nodded, Aowu's analysis was spot on.

The first possibility is that the inference is wrong. This is similar to solving a problem; you must place the clues to the solution in the question stem.

Otherwise, this question would be meaningless, and the rules of the Hall of Light would become a joke.

Therefore, Li Xia was certain that his deduction about the identity was correct.

"But I can't imagine the advantages of the second one, and the existing clues are not enough."

"Really? I'm afraid you never even considered that possibility?"

Li Xia said with a hint of sarcasm:

"The first round is about identity, and the second round, at this point in time, is almost a no-brainer; it's definitely related to the Chunin Exams."

so----"

Aowu's eyes slowly widened, and it looked at Li Xia hesitantly, its thoughts opening up:

"Boss, you mean...hiss—"

Li Xia nodded slowly, a smile appearing on her face:

"As mentioned before, if we have to make it a big event..."

He looked up at the boundless blue sky:

"What could be bigger than turning the Chunin Exams into the Fourth Shinobi World War?"

If someone were an ANBU spy, they could inform Kumogakure of the existence of the 'Konoha Crush Plan'.

What will the Hidden Cloud Village, which has been eagerly anticipating this, do?

Even a fool could figure that out!

Is this an advantage? Absolutely!

"Ow"

"Ok?"

What do you think is the greatest use of hiding one's identity?

Before Aowu could answer, Li Xia leisurely said:

"Faction Shop!"

The faction shop is a wonderful thing; you can exchange for many great items there.

You don't need to gamble on probabilities, open treasure chests, or even rely on luck.

As long as you have enough contribution points or credits, you can buy whatever you want.

Just like Aowu said, the hall won't block everyone's way.

Any type of apostle can find a path suitable for their development within the temple.

The faction shop system was originally designed for those who don't have enough luck.

Countless apostles have obtained the right items for themselves through the faction shop, soaring to great heights and defying fate.

But for Li Xia right now, the faction shop is just extra income!

If things go well, their identity in Konoha won't be exposed, and they'll be able to succeed during the Chunin Exams.

He most likely owns two faction shops at the same time!

This is not impossible; it was accomplished during the first-tier joint war trial when I first entered the Hall of Light.

Through negotiations with the Elf King and the Dwarf King Thorin, a three-way alliance was reached.

They shared each other's faction shops.

Li Xia narrowed his eyes, his gaze seemingly fixed on Neji and Hinata, who were repeatedly throwing punches in the arena.

In reality, however, he was thinking—

This increases the difficulty of proving one's hidden identity, but it also makes it highly likely that the faction shop will be opened.

This is the way of balance, or compensation, of the temple?
