To pay off the debt, become Hokage!

Before he could finish his words, Jiraiya interrupted Uchiha Shigeka.

He handed Uchiha Shigeka a scroll and said, "Your task can be handed over to someone else. Shigeka, go back to Konoha. The old man wants to see you."

"You killed the Third Kazekage's disciple. The old man is very happy. I will definitely reward you when I call you back this time."

Jiraiya smiled and said, "In wartime, rewards are given based on military merit. With your achievements, if the old man makes an exception, I might be able to meet the youngest jonin since the founding of Konoha!"

......

Chapter 74: Return to the Village

[Host, how long has it been? You are about to become a jonin! ]

The system's voice was still dull and full of mechanical texture, but Uchiha Shigeka could feel its cheers.

[By becoming a jonin, the host can get the last draw of the loan. I don't know what kind of character card I will get. 】

"Just don't be some passerby."

Uchiha Shigeka said this silently, recalling the painful experience of drawing the Kirigakure Passerby A.

"Jounin..."

Uchiha Shigeka murmured to himself, with a hint of anticipation rising in his heart.

With the example of Kakashi Hatake becoming a jonin at the age of twelve, the promotion of ninja levels is not so difficult and can be operated more flexibly.

Considering his achievements and strength, there is no obstacle for him to become a jonin.

Just like Senior Jiraiya said, if the Hokage makes an exception, he can become a Jonin!

As for whether Naruto will make an exception...

Uchiha Shigeka was a little hesitant when thinking about the favor he had gained from Sarutobi Hiruzen over the years.

He really couldn't guarantee that.

......

Seeing Uchiha Shigeka walking out of the camp, Sheng Shu approached him and said, "Shigeka, what does the lecherous uncle want from you?"

"Be careful, Jiraiya-senpai will hear you and beat you up."

Because of Jiraiya's lustful nature, Nawaki despised him and usually called him "lecherous uncle".

Jiraiya certainly didn't want Nawaki to call him that, especially in front of Tsunade.

He tried to bribe and curry favor with Shengshu in private, but it was of no use.

The upright Nawaki despises Jiraiya's lustful behavior, and he will never go along with him just for the sake of sugar-coated bullets!

Sheng Shu put his hands on his hips and snorted, "I'm not afraid! If he wants to beat me up, I'll let my sister beat him up!"

"So, what does the lecherous uncle want with you?"

Uchiha Shigeka glanced at him and said, "Aren't you afraid that this is some secret mission?"

He pretended to be gloomy and said, "If Sheng Shu wants to hear it, I can tell you, but if irrelevant people hear the content of the confidential mission, it is equivalent to leaking the secret."

Snapped!

Uchiha Shigeka patted Nawaki's shoulders with both hands: "This is a leak, Nawaki, you don't want to become a traitor because of what I said."

"If you become a traitor, then I will only be able to..."

Uchiha Shigeka's voice became deeper and deeper, and Naoki looked at him with dead fish eyes.

Seeing Rope Tree like this, Uchiha Shigeka couldn't continue. He smiled awkwardly, coughed, and said seriously: "It's not a big deal. The Hokage-sama wants to see me for something. I plan to hand over the mission and prepare to return to the village."

"You want to go back to the village?"

Sheng Shu was surprised, and then envious.

"That's great. You can go back to the village."

Snapped!

Rope Tree slapped a stack of banknotes into Uchiha Shigeka's hand.

"The glutinous rice dumplings from the snack street, please."

Uchiha Shigeka looked at Nawaki speechlessly: "It's not certain what Lord Hokage wants me to do. If I am sent somewhere else and don't come back, I won't be able to bring back the glutinous rice balls you want."

Shengshu chuckled and said, "If you can't bring anything back, just buy whatever you want to eat. Uncle Shengshu will treat you."

"You boy."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shigeka laughed and cursed, then punched him.

......

When the news spread that Uchiha Shigeka was returning to the village, the injured people he had treated before immediately came over with embarrassed looks on their faces.

"Murakami, what can I do for you?"

The Konoha ninja named Murakami asked in surprise, "Master Chonghua knows me?"

Then he waved his hands repeatedly: "Just call me Murakami."

Lord Chonghua is an important person, but he dare not let people call him brother.

Uchiha Shigeka readily agreed: "Okay, then I'll call you Murakami. Judging from your appearance, is there something bothering you?"

Upon hearing this, Murakami took a deep breath, took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Uchiha Shigeka.

"Master Chonghua, I heard that you were going back to the village. This is the letter I wrote overnight. Could you please give it to my parents?"

Uchiha Shigeka held Murakami's letter and readily agreed.

"I will keep it carefully and bring the letter to your parents."

Murakami felt relieved and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you very much."

With Murakami's example, at the end of the day, Uchiha Shigeka received many letters from home, as well as some spoils obtained by Konoha ninjas from the battlefield.

Uchiha Shigeka was very friendly and accepted all their requests.

For a moment, the Konoha ninjas looked at him with gratitude and recognition.

Uchiha Shigeka's reputation? +1+1+1+1...

......

With the speed of a ninja's legs, Uchiha Shigeka quickly returned to Konoha.

He immediately went to the Hokage's office to meet Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had already received the news that Uchiha Shigeka had returned.

I heard a knock on the door and said, "Come in."

Uchiha Shigeka walked in, looking exhausted.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at him with relief: "Chonghua, welcome back, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

"Hokage-sama, I'm back."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and smiled, "I have been paying attention to everything you do on the front line. Chonghua, I heard that you have opened the Three Magatama Sharingan?"

Uchiha Shigeka nodded, and his ink-black pupils suddenly turned blood-red.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and walked in front of Uchiha Shigeka, carefully observing the pair of Sharingan.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard to believe that you had a three-magatama Sharingan the moment you opened your eyes."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed. In his life so far, he had seen a few people who could directly reach the second magatama after opening their eyes, but he had never seen anyone with three magatama.

Now I have gained more knowledge.

"Hokage-sama, don't you suspect that I'm hiding something by opening my eyes so early?"

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the Three-magatama Sharingan. Such news would naturally arouse some people's suspicion.

Especially the members of the Uchiha clan, who knew the Sharingan best, were shocked to see that Uchiha Shigeka had a three-magatama Sharingan as soon as he opened his eyes.

——Can Uchiha open his eyes and directly open the three-magatama Sharingan?

Sarutobi Hiruzen patted Uchiha Shigeka's arm and said firmly: "I believe you."

True belief or false belief?

Uchiha Shigeka observed Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression, but couldn't see anything.

No matter what, the show must go on.

"Hokage-sama called me back to the village. Is there something important you want me to do?"

Uchiha Shigeka patted his chest and said, "As long as the Hokage gives the order, no matter how difficult it is, I will definitely do it!"

"Nothing important." Sarutobi Hiruzen teased, "Jiraiya must have told you why I recruited you."

"Could it be that what Jiraiya-senpai said is true?"

Uchiha Shigeka showed an expression of disbelief.

"Will I become a jonin? Senior Jiraiya said that I will become the youngest jonin since the founding of Konoha."

He said excitedly: "This...this is my honor!"

Uchiha Shigeka’s excitement was real. If he really became a Jonin, he would have the chance to draw cards!

......

Chapter 75: The youngest jonin!

Sarutobi Hiruzen returned to the Hokage's desk and picked up a file bag from the desktop.

He said to Uchiha Shigeka: "This is your ninja file, Shigeka, come and fill out the form."

Sarutobi Hiruzen joked: "From today on, you are the youngest Jonin since the establishment of Konoha!"

Uchiha Shigeka took the form excitedly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen actually made an exception, and the goodwill he had gained over the years was not in vain.

This also gave Uchiha Shigeka a new understanding of Sarutobi Hiruzen's favorability.

——Sarutobi Hiruzen really trusts him and thinks highly of him.

"Fill out the form quickly. I know you are very excited." Sarutobi Hiruzen handed over a pen and said with a smile, "I am also excited. I am very proud that such a young Jonin can appear under my rule. I am proud of you."

In order to allow Uchiha Shigeka to become a jonin at such a young age, Sarutobi Hiruzen put in a lot of effort in private.

The main purpose is to make Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu relax.

As for Danzo Shimura... he is in the Rain Country doing things, the journey is too long, and there is not enough time to notify him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen got a headache when he thought of Shimura Danzo, so he decided to kill first and report later.

If it was a child from other clans or civilians, it would be fine, but a child from the Uchiha clan must be awarded the title of the youngest jonin.

This will definitely make the Uchiha clan go crazy! ?

The Uchiha clan will shine if given a little sunshine. This is the general view of the Konoha high-level officials towards the Uchiha clan, and Sarutobi Hiruzen is no exception.

It is conceivable how much of a sensation the news that Uchiha Shigeka became a Jonin would cause when it spread to the Uchiha clan.

But in the end he decided to give Uchiha Shigeka the title of the youngest jonin.

Shigeka's achievements and strength are enough to become a jonin, the only obstacle is that he is too young.

However, isn't a genius of the Uchiha clan who is loyal to the Hokage and obeys his orders worthy of Sarutobi Hiruzen's attention and investment?

Of course it’s worth it!

As soon as he opened his eyes, he had a three-magatama Sharingan. Sarutobi Hiruzen had never seen such a talent before.

Maybe, Chonghua will be able to open the Mangekyō Sharingan in the future.

He has been observing Uchiha Shigeka for many years and is extremely confident in his judgment.

Uchiha Shigeka completely leaned towards the Hokage lineage, and his heart and eyes were completely focused on him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Uchiha Shigeka with deep eyes, and an immature thought arose in his heart...
