I, a Celestial Dragon!

During the Chunin Exam, eighty percent of the Jonin in Konoha will gather back.

I will take this opportunity to let you serve as the leader of the jonin squad and meet all the jonin in Konoha Village, so that it will be easier for you to take on the next job of becoming Hokage.

Do you think this arrangement is okay?"

Hearing this, Shikaku's body froze. This was... the third generation was so impatient to abdicate.

So, are those so-called legends about our ancestors true?

The third generation chose Gawain not only because he was ridiculously strong, but also because of other reasons?

While Lu Jiu was thinking, Gao Wen smiled slightly and nodded.

"The Sand Ninjas want to jointly host the Chunin Exams? Sure, no problem.

As for the jonin squad, I'll do as you say, Hiruzen.

I’m looking forward to it, haha.”

While joking, Gawain turned to look at the window.

His vision went up high in the distant sky.

I don't know where it fell.

Chapter 678 The So-called Jonin Class

Two weeks later, Kakashi's team and Asuma's team returned successfully, and also suppressed Zabuza and Haku.

Zabuza is actually not weak. His strength is also quite high among the elite jonin. Elite jonin like them, that is, jonin who are particularly outstanding in some aspect, once they break through, they may be able to touch the line of Kage level.

For example, in Konoha Village, there are about 100,000 ninjas on the staff, of which the number of jonin is about 2%, or about 2,000 people.

Among the approximately 2,000 jonin, 60% are actually specially promoted special jonin. Special jonin are just chunins who are particularly outstanding in certain aspects. There is still a gap in their strength compared to real jonin.

In addition to this, elite jonin only account for about 7% of the jonin group, 2,000 jonin, more than 1,200 special jonin, more than 140 elite jonin, and the rest are normal jonin.

Among them, the Jonin are divided into a series of departments such as the action team, Anbu, Root, etc. due to work issues.

There are even special elements like Jiraiya and Tsunade who hold the title of elite jonin but are actually not in the village at all.

In addition, the Root is still under the direct jurisdiction of Danzo for the time being, so there are probably only a few dozen elite jonin who can be directly controlled by the Hokage.

Among these dozens of elite jonin, Kakashi and Asuma are the best among them. Together they lead the Ino-Shika-Chou special forces team, the Uchiha descendants, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and Sakura, who is a drag.

With this kind of lineup, capturing Zabuza and Haku isn't easy, but it won't be particularly difficult either.

Just like that, in the Hokage's office, Kakashi and Asuma dragged Zabuza and Haku, who were tightly tied and sealed, and reported the results of the mission to Gawain, who was sitting in the Hokage's office chair.

On the side, seeing that the Third Hokage was just standing there listening, and the person sitting on the chair handling things was actually a stranger, Zabuza looked at Gawain with surprise.

Carefully examining Gawain's image, Zabuza was very suspicious that Konoha was going to do something big!

Because Konoha is the current largest country in the ninja world, its highest power has actually changed without the knowledge of other villages.

There is definitely a conspiracy here.

And he regarded Gawain as a conspirator.

Gawain said softly as he looked at Zabuza and Haku with a smile.

"It's really hard for you, Zabuza. In order to change the ecology of the Bloody Mist Village in Kirigakure, you had to make a heroic effort to assassinate the Mizukage.

At this point, the Mizukage has changed, but you can only wander the ninja world as a ronin.

It's such a pity for the beheading sword you carry..."

"Humph!"

On the opposite side, Zabuza shook his head disdainfully.

"You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you, so don't waste your breath on me.

Just send me directly to the Anbu, and let me see how the judgment methods of the Konoha Anbu are better than those of the Kirigakure.

You don't think that a ghost like me who came out of the blood mist would join a weird guy like you just because of a few weird words, right? "

Zabuza acted exceptionally arrogant, and this was also his true thought. If elite jonin like them could easily betray him, it would be really underestimating them.

Unless one's strength is so strong that he becomes a genius and an elite jonin.

If other ninjas want to be promoted all the way to the level of elite jonin, the hardships they need to go through are unimaginable to ordinary people.

A mere trial?

Humph.

It would be more convenient to kill them and read their brains directly.

On the side, Kakashi nodded in agreement.

"Assistant Hokage, Zabuza is not someone who can be easily persuaded. We should..."

"When did I plan to convince Zabuza to surrender?"

Gawain raised his hand to interrupt Kakashi, then waved to the Shadow Guards standing guard in the distance.

"Take Zabuza away. Shiro will stay here for now."

"What are you going to do, you are going to..." Zabuza roared with his eyes wide open, why did he leave Bai alone? ! !

Snapped!

Gawain gently pumped the air, and the strong airflow made Zabuza close his mouth.

While watching Zabuza being taken away by the Shadow Guards, Gawain continued the dialogue and stretched out his right hand.

"Hello, Mizunoe Shiro, I'm Takafumi, the temporary assistant Hokage of Konoha. Nice to meet you."

"I understand, sir. You leave me here. No matter what you ask of me, as long as you are willing to let Zabuza-sama continue to live, I will agree to your request.

Although I don't know what a tool like me can do for you, as long as you give me an order, I will try my best to do it.

I only ask that you show some mercy. Apart from the matter of Wave Country, Lord Zabuza has no intention of being hostile to Konoha."

Having said that, Mizunotsuki Bai knelt down tactfully.

Gawain took Zabuza away and left Haku behind. It was obvious that he wanted to use Zabuza to threaten Haku.

And what about Bai.

As long as Lord Zabuza is alive, it doesn't matter if he is threatened or not. I am just a tool anyway.

Seeing Bai being so sensible, Gao Wen nodded with satisfaction.

“Okay, you stay with me first and get familiar with the life inside Konoha.

As long as you do your job well, Zabuza will treat it as a vacation in Konoha Prison. Not only will you not be tortured, you can even buy him a drink occasionally.

The rest of Zabuza's life depends on you."

"Yes, my lord."

Bai nodded in understanding. This was how the ninja world was. It was the greatest luck for a loser to survive.

As for working for Konoha, it is absolutely impossible for Zabuza to do so. Although he is a traitor to Kirigakure, in fact, his loyalty to Kirigakure is far beyond the reach of ordinary Kirigakure ninjas.

He betrayed the village out of disappointment with Kirigakure, and assassinated the Mizukage in order to end the brutal blood mist policy.

But what if he were asked to seek refuge in another village?

Haha, that would be easier than just letting him die.

But Bai is different from him. Bai has no feelings for the Hidden Mist Village.

The only thing Bai cares about is his Lord Zabuza.

Seeing that Bai agreed with what he said, Gawain turned to Hiruzen beside him and nodded slightly.

“After becoming Hokage, I will also need to set up a Shadow Guard.

I've read your previous records. The Shadow Guard is probably the Hokage's habit of selecting a few young people who are worth training and cultivating some talents for the village as non-disciples.

But in today's Konoha, haha, I can't pick out any suitable geniuses among the people of the right age, who can stand out at first glance.

The young people aged sixteen or seventeen or eighteen in Konoha in the past two years look really ordinary.

So, I recruited some members of the Shadow Guard myself, for example, this Bai is pretty good.

Mizunotsuki is the descendant of the Kirigakure family who has the Ice Style Bloodline Genkai, and he is also a handsome boy. He can have many branches and leaves in Konoha, giving Konoha another bloodline family, and at the same time impact the status of the old ninja families and give those ninja clans something to do.

In addition to Bai, I also have my eyes on a few other people, such as Kimimaro, who is under Orochimaru.

Don't worry about loyalty, I will keep them by my side and educate them personally.

Back then, I was able to educate a Six Paths Sage like Yuyi, let alone a few children now.

Hiruzen, what do you think?"

On the side, hearing Gawain's question, what could Hiruzen do.

He actually didn't like Gawain's approach. Although Konoha was in a period of transition now, it wouldn't be possible to allow traitors from the ninja world to become members of the Shadow Guard, right?

However, Gawain's approach was at least a way to strengthen Konoha, so Hiruzen finally nodded.

"Senior, since you have made a decision, I will definitely follow your lead.

However, compared with the assessment of the Shadow Guard members, what is more important now is to hold a meeting of the Jonin Squad as soon as possible and confirm you as the squad leader, thus laying the foundation for you to become the Hokage.

In addition, it is time to start the preliminary preparations for the Chunin Examination.

This time, we will hold the Chunin Examination together with the Sand Village, and provide individual places and opportunities for a series of small ninja villages such as the Sound Village and the Rain Village.

There is still work to do, Senior."

After saying this, Hiruzen exhaled and sat back in his seat.

At this time, Kakashi and Asuma remained in the office and had not left yet...

Kakashi's expression was relatively normal. Even if it was abnormal, it couldn't be seen because he was wearing a mask.

As for Asuma...

Asuma immediately frowned in displeasure.

The old man didn't even bother to talk to anyone and directly started discussing the next Hokage!

Damn it, even if this guy is mysterious and powerful at the same time, even the old man and Senior Jiraiya have to treat him with caution.

But there is no need to be so anxious, right?

only……

Still dissatisfied, but here the old man himself was.

The current Hokage himself has no objection, so what opinion could he, an elite jonin, have?

So, Asuma didn't say anything after all, but silently took out a few forms from his arms.

"Ahem, regarding the Chunin Exam, our class is planning to participate in it. I think they are qualified enough!"

After he finished speaking, Asuma placed the Ino-Shika-Choosing Form on Gawain's desk.

Hiruzen glanced at the table from a distance, his face low with some worry.

"Asuma, aren't you being too impulsive? Those children are still too young."

"We've all seen blood, so why would it be too early? When I was their age, I had killed hundreds of people.

Besides, this is the Chunin Examination held by our own Konoha. We can at least control the situation and prevent them from participating this year. Do we have to wait until the Kumogakure Ninja holds the examination in a few years to let them participate?

Even if they are older by then, their situation will be even more dangerous!"

Asuma immediately rejected the Sandai's statement.

Indeed, Zhu, Lu, and Die are now only twelve and a half years old.

But don’t forget that these twelve-year-old kids can already run on trees at the speed of sound, and can even kill hundreds of bandits easily!

These children are not children at all, but natural born killing machines.

The development of chakra has already turned them into inhumans. If such children are forced to grow up under protection and progress slowly like ordinary children, it will be suppression and harm to them.

Just after Asuma said this, Kakashi slowly took out the registration form of Naruto and the other two from his ninja bag.
