Master, please become the Hokage

But there is a huge difference in strength between different jonin.

For example...in the official official book, Kurenai Yuhi is the goalkeeper among the Jonin, and her stats are stuck at the lowest limit.

The Jonin with the highest stat cap is Kakashi.

There is a huge gap in the overall values ​​between the two.

No one would think that Kurenai Yuhi could beat Kakashi.

It would be better to say that Kakashi is likely to be able to fight three at once, and it would not be a problem for him to defeat three Kurenai Yuhi alone.

In addition to the Sharingan and the Thunder Blade Fang, these auxiliary tools are all powerful weapons that can greatly enhance a ninja's strength. With Ringo Yuyuri's divine weapon in hand, his strength has greatly increased, and defeating Baiyun Yeshan is a reasonable thing.

"I will promote Sarutobi Ryo and the others to the rank of Jonin. What do you think?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his colleagues.

After a brief discussion, Sarutobi Ryo and his companions naturally obtained the qualification of "Jonin".

Jonin is also the elite of a ninja village.

Most ninjas eventually become chunin. This is evident from the people mocking Might Guy for being a ten-thousand-year-old genin. It's unusual for a practitioner in this world to not become a chunin.

On average, there is only one special jonin among 20 to 30 chunins.

There is only one Jonin among 100 Chunins.

Being a Jonin is not only a proof of qualifications, but also a representation of strength.

Becoming a jonin also means being able to obtain jonin-level resources.

For a genius, being a Jonin... is also the true beginning of the road to becoming a strong person.

In some emergency situations, the Jonin can directly command and mobilize nearby Chunin and Genin, and some Jonin even have the authority to mobilize the Anbu squad to fight.

In some important departments, the minimum rank required was jonin. For example, Yamanaka Hiichi, Yamanaka Hiichi's cousin, worked in the Intelligence Department. Another example was the logistics department, which the Akimichi clan was responsible for.

The importance of Jonin is self-evident, and accordingly, they are regularly sent on dangerous missions, ranging from A-rank to S-rank. Therefore, Jonin is often a rank that is very close to death.

"Thanks to Young Master Liang this time..." Baiyun Yeshan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had completely taken advantage of Sarutobi Liang.

He didn't understand the inside story and didn't know that the top management had actually planned everyone's promotion path long ago.

After Baiyun Yeshan and Hinata Ruri left, the atmosphere in the office changed slightly.

That is the change of light and shadow.

Shimura Danzo, the man sitting in the shadows, immediately spoke: "Tomorrow... have Sarutobi Ryo and Yamanaka Kei report to the Anbu."

He looked at Ryo Sarutobi and Kei Yamanaka, and finally his eyes landed on Ryo Sarutobi.

"However, Hiruzen... even if it is your child, he must go through the Anbu assessment mission issued by me before he is qualified to join..."

In Danzo's opinion, Sarutobi Ryo is too pure and not dark enough, and is not a suitable choice for an Anbu member.

Yamanaka Hui, who was standing aside, had very good qualifications and was very suitable to join the Anbu.

Then, Danzo stood up and left.

Sarutobi Ryo watched him leave... As one of Konoha's high-ranking officials, the Hokage's assistant, and the "Anbu Commander", Danzo was not stripped of his Anbu command authority by his old father Sarutobi Hiruzen until the night of the Uchiha clan's genocide in the original work.

Therefore, in this generation, most Anbu personnel must accept Danzo's command.

The road to darkness began, but Sarutobi Ryo was not too worried about it.

Because...I am not as simple as everyone thinks.

......

When Sarutobi Ryo walked out of the Hokage building, a figure was waiting under the shade of a tree not far away.

Sarutobi Ryo walked over and Hatake Sakumo scratched his hair: "Master Ryo, congratulations."

There was no doubt in Hatake Sakumo's mind that Sarutobi Ryo could become a jonin.

With Sarutobi Ryo's talent, it would be strange if he couldn't become a Jonin.

"I'm going to grill saury today, come sit over here..."

Hatake Sakumo's seemingly casual invitation is actually a reflection of the maintenance of the master-disciple relationship.

As Sarutobi Ryo's swordsmanship teacher, Hatake Sakumo taught Sarutobi Ryo many skills, and the two got along very well.

"it is good."

Sarutobi Ryo smiled and agreed.

Passing through the bustling streets of Konoha, the three of them finally arrived at a bungalow on the edge of Konoha.

This ancient-looking building with a courtyard is the home of Hatake Sakumo.

After entering the house, the three of them sat down and chatted for a while.

Before I knew it, time passed and it was already afternoon.

Hatake Sakumo talked about many interesting things, including Kakashi's experience in the ninja school, the missions he encountered, and the problems he encountered in training.

"It's time to cook, please wait a moment..."

Hatake Sakumo stood up, put on an apron, and walked into the kitchen.

Sitting in the living room, Yamanaka Hui filled Sarutobi Ryo's cup with tea and whispered, "Master, Mr. Sakumo is such a good man..."

There was something in her words.

"Good people like this will be suppressed by the higher-ups in the future. Who knows what their fate will be..."

Yamanaka Hui is not optimistic about the fact that Kakashi Hatake, the son of Konoha White Fang, will join Team 7.

A good-natured person who dreams of living a carefree life, but falls into the hands of Konoha's high-level officials, he will probably be completely taken advantage of.

"If I were alone, it would be fine. At worst, I could become a traitor, but... Mr. Sakumo has a weak spot now..."

The weak spot refers to Kakashi.

"If it were me, I wouldn't have children unless Konoha changed its face one day."

Yamanaka Hui said that she would not marry or have children to ensure her safety.

In a Konoha like this, one more child is equivalent to one more cannon fodder, slave and leek.

"..."

Sarutobi Ryo looked at the girl, a strange look in his eyes.

In the original work, the two are clearly the same age as Minato Namikaze, Kushina and others.

Konohamaru was born 4 or 5 years later than Uzumaki Naruto.

So that's the reason?

Afraid of having weaknesses?

"What's wrong, young master?" Shan Zhonghui couldn't help but blink when he realized that the young master was staring at him.

Just when Sarutobi Ryo was about to say something, a very angry voice sounded from outside: "I'm back."

Soon, a little kid with a mask on, dead eyes, and the same silver hair as Hatake Sakumo walked in from outside in a very arrogant manner.

Chapter 17. First Infusion of the Will of Fire

The proud silver-haired frizzy kid is none other than Hatake Kakashi, the son of Hatake Sakumo.

Kakashi, known as a genius boy, is still studying at the Ninja School.

However, he will take the graduation exam next week, and then he will become the youngest Genin in Konoha's history.

Kakashi, who is unanimously praised by the teachers of the ninja school, has become more and more proud recently.

While his classmates were still playing in the mud, he was already on his way to becoming a real ninja.

Given the mentality of a child and the gentle manner in which Hatake Sakumo educates him, Kakashi's proud behavior at this time is very understandable.

"Master Liang?"

When Kakashi saw Sarutobi Ryo and Yamanaka Kei, he was stunned at first, but then he immediately noticed.

"You two...are coming to my house for free meals again!"

Kakashi was surprised and was especially wary of Yamanaka Hui.

"Hey, isn't this Kakashi? I haven't seen you for a few days. You look more handsome. Come, let me see you..."

Yamanaka Hui showed a devilish smile.

Seeing this expression, Kakashi's forehead began to sweat quickly, and he immediately ran away, obviously scared by Yamanaka Kei.

Shan Zhonghui stood up and chased after him without mercy.

Soon, Kakashi's screams were heard outside.

“Despicable~~!”

"You she-devil!"

"you are not human!"

By the time the obedient child Kakashi walked in from outside, he had become listless.

Like a dying old man, Kakashi, who had been teased by Yamanaka Kei, sat down at the table with a dejected look on his face.

Yamanaka Hui stretched out his hand and kept touching Kakashi's head.

Kakashi was like a tumbler and could only allow Yamanaka Hui to harm him.

"Master Liang, you don't even take care of your followers." Kakashi raised his head and looked at Sarutobi Ryo with sad and angry eyes.

"Ahui, this is for your own good." Sarutobi Ryo's light words contained a very profound meaning.

Kakashi opened his mouth to retort, but he also noticed the change in the atmosphere.

"The world we live in is a cruel world..."

Sarutobi Ryo held the teacup and took a sip slowly.

Kakashi also fell into deep thought because of the heaviness contained in these words.

But given his age and experience, he still couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

Not long after, Hatake Sakumo prepared a sumptuous meal.

The four of them enjoyed a delicious meal happily.

After dinner, Yamanaka Hui went to bully the naughty kid again, and Kakashi's wailing continued to sound in the yard.

Inside the living room, Hatake Sakumo seemed unaware.

"Master Liang, I heard from the Hokage that... you will be assigned to the Anbu..."

Although Hatake Sakumo is a small figure and does not hold any important position, he has countless experiences of working with the Anbu.

In the dark.

In addition to the regular Anbu, there is also a team called "Root".

Gen was Danzo's private soldier, but Danzo formed a huge team under the pretext of "training talents for the Anbu".

"Master Liang, if possible, you still have to work harder and strive to be transferred to the Anbu team directly under the command of the Hokage..."

Each Anbu class has different functions, and sometimes they are mixed.

But there is a very special Anbu team, called "Anbu Team Directly Under the Hokage".

This Anbu team is only responsible to the Hokage, and even Danzo has no power to transfer them.

Hatake Sakumo was afraid that Sarutobi Ryo would be harmed by Danzo, so he kindly gave him a reminder.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Sakumo."

Sarutobi nodded.

It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

"But there are some things that you can't avoid just by wanting to avoid them..."
