Chapter 70 Promotion, 8-year-old Jonin!
Chapter 70 Promotion, eight-year-old Jonin!
Curse mark!
Jiraiya quickly opened his mouth.
Sure enough, a strange, bizarre curse appeared on the tongue.
The tongue is the seal that eliminates the root cause of disaster.
This is the symbol of the Root organization, but the Root organization has not yet surfaced. It is a force secretly established by Danzo under the name of "Anbu training force."
but.
The people just now did not use Konoha's iconic ninjutsu, so it was impossible to judge the other party's identity based on their abilities.
Jingyan couldn't tell his origins.
Jiraiya turned the other person over and over to check, and suddenly the other person's body trembled, and a trace of black blood flowed out of his mouth.
Jingyan immediately squatted down to investigate.
Extremely poisonous!
Aburame Zhiwei raised her hand, and poison-detoxifying parasites flew out one after another.
Upon seeing this, Jing Yan immediately formed seals and used the Palm Magic Technique to keep the opponent alive, detoxifying the parasitic insects and killing them in large numbers, but the opponent's health did not improve.
"Hopeless."
Aburame Zhiwei called back the remaining detoxifying insects, feeling very distressed.
It is not easy to cultivate detoxifying insects. As a result, many of them died here. We will have to spend time and effort to cultivate them again.
"Ah."
Jingyan nodded.
The toxin is too strong!
Even if he wanted to save people, he couldn't do it.
"What a terrifying means of control. Curses, poisons, and a determination to die. Such a ninja..."
Jiraiya was silent.
It was a strange face, and he didn't look like someone from Konoha at all, at least he had never seen him before.
However, he felt that it was Danzo's man.
A gut feeling.
and.
In the Land of Fire, besides Danzo, who else possesses such abilities?
Besides, last time in the Land of Hot Springs...
Debts pile up one after another, and I can't help but think about it.
There was a fierce gleam in his eyes.
Danzo!
"Master Jiraiya, look..."
"I'll take care of it, you guys take the people back first."
He looked into the cave.
The girl looked at them timidly, her eyes full of fear.
"Let's go back to Konoha first."
Jiraiya took a glance and couldn't help but sigh secretly -
Uzumaki Yuuki and Konoha didn't have much trust in the first place, and this makes things even more difficult. I'm afraid it will take some time for her to adapt.
This guy Danzo is really a troublemaker.
In order to deal with their own people, they sent out more than a dozen jonin and many elites...
How abominable and hateful!
"them"
Aburame Shiwei and Inuzuka Jaguar looked at the unconscious Namikaze Minato and Akimichi Choza and hesitated for a moment.
Although the two of them were not injured and their condition was slightly better, they had also consumed a lot of chakra, so it was not suitable to carry them around.
If we encounter enemies again along the way...
They both looked at Kyohiko and Kakashi.
These two children.
He is very strong, otherwise he would not have become Jiraiya's disciple and be qualified to participate in such an operation. But he is a child after all, and it is difficult for him to carry two adults on his back.
Jiraiya said, "I'll use the summoning beast to carry them."
After saying that, he bit his finger and summoned the Iron-Armed Toad and another strong but small Toad, and carried them one on his back.
"This is the border. The longer you stay here, the more dangerous it will be."
Jiraiya looked serious.
He doesn't have many people he can trust, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Kyohiko and Kakashi for help.
If the enemy comes again, he, Kyohiko and Kakashi will definitely be fine, but the unconscious Namikaze Minato and Akimichi Choza may not be.
"Yes!"
Inuzuka Jaw turned his head and said, "Zhuomaru, can you move? If you can, please lead the way."
"Wang!"
The giant dog barked and then ran outside the cave to wait.
Jiraiya used a sealing scroll to seal the body all the way inside.
Inuzuka Jaw was standing aside, secretly surprised.
He can see...
Some of the bodies were killed by Jiraiya himself, but there were a few that were not. All of them were killed with one blow, and the action was very quick and decisive.
Sword skills!
He glanced over and saw the knife on Kakashi's back.
"Are you White Fang's son?"
"My name is Hatake Kakashi."
Kakashi replied.
Inuzuka Jaw sighed inaudibly, then praised: "Your swordsmanship is very strong!"
"I only killed two. Jing Yan killed the rest."
Kakashi said.
"Kyohiko?"
Inuzuka Jaw looked at the other child.
what?
He could hardly hide his stunned expression and said in disbelief, "You're not a medical ninja?"
"No, I just learned some Palm Immortal Technique as a sideline."
Jingyan answered.
Inuzuka Jaw didn't know how to comment for a moment.
Concurrent studies? ! !
Among so many ninjas in Konoha, only a few are capable of being medical ninjas, and even fewer have learned the art of palm magic.
result.
The child is only eight years old, but he has mastered it so skillfully.
He looked like he had seen a ghost.
Jiraiya laughed, "Hahaha, Jingyan's best skill is the instant body movement technique, and he did learn medical ninjutsu by the way, but it came in handy this time."
“Young people today are really amazing!”
Aburame Shiwei sighed suddenly.
Jiraiya was so scared that he immediately turned his head and noticed that there was someone on the other side of him. This guy was wearing black clothes and even the mask only revealed his facial features. He was completely unnoticeable in the dark.
The weird face is so scary!
"You are only about ten years older than them, right?"
Inuzuka Jaw turned around and complained.
Aburame Shizue nodded slightly, "That's true, but compared to the two of them... I feel a little old."
Eight years old.
How could he have such strength when he was eight years old!
In comparison, Kakashi is already a Chunin, and is quite formidable among Chunins. As for the other one named Kyohiko, judging from the traces at the scene and his performance just now, he might be a Jonin.
They are truly one more powerful than the other.
They sighed.
With more people around, especially with the presence of the great god Jiraiya, the journey back felt a little easier.
Minato woke up halfway through.
He wasn't injured, but was unconscious due to excessive chakra consumption.
After some conversation, Jingyan listened in and understood the general situation.
To avoid conflict, they took a detour back to the Fire Nation.
Along the way, they encountered some Grass Ninja and Rock Ninja blockades, but they avoided them all. However, after entering the Land of Fire, they were blocked by another group of people.
The other party's target was Yuki Uzumaki.
From beginning to end, Uzumaki Yuki remained silent and didn't say a word.
We were almost at Konoha, so we sat down and rested.
Yuuki Uzumaki's face flushed red and she looked around, and Kakashi immediately became alert.
Jingyan quietly released his chakra and sensed the fluctuations on the other party's body through the morning mist. Then he roughly understood the situation and made a secret gesture of "relax" to Kakashi.
Kakashi was obedient and immediately let go of the knife.
Jing Yan said: "Teacher, I will take her to solve some problems."
"what?"
Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and nodded, "Go ahead, but don't go too far."
"Yes."
Jingyan stood up and Uzumaki Yuki followed behind with her head down.
After walking for a while, they came to a dense bush near the river. Jing Yan said, "Let's go here. We can't go any further. Otherwise, it will be unsafe."
Then he handed over some papers.
Although it is not special toilet paper, it is much better than leaves.
"Thank you."
Uzumaki Yuki's face turned red, and after taking it, she immediately jumped into the forest.
A hoarse voice isn't very pleasant to hear, but it could also be because she hasn't had any water for too long.
After a while, she walked out slowly.
On the way back, Jingyan asked, "Your name is Uzumaki Yuki?"
The girl glanced at him and still said nothing.
"Perhaps you have some misunderstandings about Konoha, or there are circumstances that we don't understand. But at the moment, if you stay in the Kusagakure Village, with your physical condition and abilities, you may not survive for more than a few years. Once the war comes... you may not even be able to raise your child alive."
Jing Yan said slowly, "Including your child. If she inherits your physique, then her life will be like this."
When he said this, the girl finally looked up.
"What do you want to say?"
Are you willing to communicate?
That's good.
Jing Yan said: "I want to say that Konoha may not be the best, but it is definitely not the worst for you. At least there are a group of people here who will protect you, and there are your own people. You are not alone and helpless."
The girl was silent again.
no way!
If the other party is determined not to communicate, no matter how good the words or reasons are, they will be of no use.
take it easy.
Jingyan prepared to move on.
At this time, the girl suddenly said: "There is no difference."
"Ok?"
"Konoha, you'll die just as soon as you come."
She shrank her head and whispered.
Maybe because Jingyan was the only child here, she was not so resistant, but it might also be because he helped to rescue her, so she was willing to speak.
"why?"
Jingyan was shocked and couldn't help but stop.
At the same time, he heard the rustling of leaves in the dark.
It should be Jiraiya.
He hid in the direction he came from.
If an accident happens here, we can rush to help quickly.
The girl shook her head: "I don't know, the elder said so."
Elder?
Jingyan was surprised and immediately unable to answer.
He really couldn't imagine what role Konoha played in the destruction of Uzushio Village.
The credibility of the Third Generation and Danzo is almost zero in his eyes. If someone says that it has nothing to do with them, Jingyan really doesn't believe it. The specific truth of that year is probably only known by the parties involved.
"Then how did you get to the Land of Grass?"
"I held onto the board and drifted to the shore. Later I realized that it was the Land of Hot Springs. I then wandered all the way to the Land of Grass and was captured by the people of the Grass Village."
Uzumaki Yuki answered.
Jingyan thought about it.
Among the Uzumaki clan back then, none of the remaining survivors fled to Konoha. Perhaps it has something to do with this elder?
The genocide of Uzushio Village...
Konoha, the other ninja villages in the ninja world, and Madara, what roles did they play in this disaster?
Jingyan frowned.
This is a troublesome matter!
"I don't know what happened in Uzushio Village, but I think Sister Tsunade and Senior Kushina will protect you. You can stay in Konoha without worrying about being caught to treat others..."
Jingyan tried to comfort her, but the girl didn't respond and just followed him.
Maybe she accepted her fate.
In the early morning, the sun is warm and shines through the hazy leaves.
We are on the road again.
Jiraiya discovered that although Uzumaki Yuki did not communicate, she was relatively cooperative and was diligent in eating and traveling.
At her pace, it would probably take her two hours, but in the end she only walked for one hour.
The physique of the Uzumaki clan is indeed much stronger than that of ordinary people!
In the distance, the gate of Konoha appeared.
Jingyan pointed into the distance.
"That's our Konoha Village."
"Konoha."
A complicated look appeared on Uzumaki Yuki's face.
When they arrived at the door, Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato each represented the registration and registered everyone one by one.
Jiraiya smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Leave the follow-up matters to me. You can go back and have a rest."
"Teacher, let me go with you."
Namikaze water gate.
Jiraiya shook his head, "No, you can take Yuki home and let her meet and talk with Kushina."
As he said this, he walked closer and patted Minato on the shoulder.
"You may have to work hard for a while."
"will not."
Minato was about to speak when suddenly, an Anbu ninja appeared in an instant.
He shut up immediately.
The other party's voice was low.
"Jiraiya, Ryoumine Kyouhiko, the Third-generation Master wants to see you."
"what?"
Jiraiya was stunned and looked at Kyohiko.
And Jingyan?
What is the old man going to do?
He frowned.
Jing Yan, however, took a step forward and immediately asked, "Now?"
Kakashi followed him.
"Yes."
The ANBU ninja nodded.
Jiraiya couldn't refuse, so he nodded, "We'll be there right away."
"Yes!"
The other party bowed slightly, and then disappeared in an instant.
Jiraiya was helpless.
Originally he wanted to handle this matter alone, but it seemed that the old man was not very happy about it.
"Sensei, maybe the results of the Chunin Exams are in."
Jingyan comforted.
Jiraiya has been confronted with the Third Hokage too many times recently, and he seems to be overly nervous.
"Well, who knows, starting today, you might be a Chunin, hahaha."
Jiraiya laughed a few times, then asked Minato to make proper arrangements for Uzumaki Yuki. After thinking for a while, he pulled Namikaze Minato aside and whispered some things to him.
According to Kyouhiko's "eavesdropping", part of it is related to Uzumaki Yuki, and the other part is to ask Minato to help guide Kakashi.
He then took Kyohiko to the Hokage's office.
……
In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen leaned back in his chair, holding an intelligence scroll in his hand.
"Boom boom boom!"
There's a knock on the door.
His face relaxed, and he said to the outside: "Come in, the door is not locked."
Pushing open the door, Jiraiya led Kyohiko in.
"teacher."
"Lord Hokage!"
Jingyan bowed gently.
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and said, "Ryomine Kyohiko, this is the second time we have met face to face."
"Hokage-sama, it's my pleasure."
Jingyan was very respectful.
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and pointed at two chairs in the distance.
"Sit down, Jiraiya, relax. This is a good thing."
He knew some of Jiraiya's habits.
Jiraiya's whole body was tense now, like a beast protecting its calf, which was scary to look at.
Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled and said, "First is the Chunin Exam. After unanimous discussion and evaluation, Kyohiko, your strength and overall quality have reached the level of Jonin, so you will be designated as Jonin."
"what?"
Jiraiya had just sat down when he stood up upon hearing this.
Jonin?
He couldn't believe it.
Although Jingyan is indeed very strong, he is too young. How can he become a jonin directly?
Isn't this a grill?
"Kyohiko's performance in the Chunin Exam was so good that not only our village, but also people from other villages praised him highly, saying that he could already be a jonin. Even the daimyo wrote to praise him..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen explained, with a lot of helplessness in his tone.
Even his name is known?
Jiraiya sat down, silent for a long time.
Jingyan stood up and said, "Thank you, Lord Daimyo and Lord Hokage, for your recognition. I will continue to work hard."
"Hahaha, if the jonin works harder, he'll be the Hokage!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed.
Jingyan answered calmly: "Every ninja in Konoha should want to be the Hokage."
"Oh?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen paused and asked curiously, "Why?"
"Hokage is a leader elected by Konoha ninjas to help everyone govern the village. He represents the trust and recognition of the villagers. The First-generation, the Second-generation, and you are all such people."
Jingyan answered.
"Hahahaha!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed so hard that he could hardly hold the scroll in his hand.
After laughing for a while, he sighed.
"It's really rare! I thought you young people would look down on us old guys..."
He glanced at Jiraiya.
No one dared to respond.
Kyouhiko and Jiraiya pretended to be dead in tacit agreement.
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not force them to answer, but continued: "Kyouhiko, becoming a jonin at your age is both an honor and a danger, because the tasks of a jonin are more difficult and more dangerous. Do you understand?"
"I am certain."
Jingyan nodded.
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, then said, "I heard that you also got the information about the Uzumaki clan this time?"
"Yes."
Jingyan reported truthfully.
Sarutobi Hiruzen listened carefully, and then he asked: "Did you fight against the Two-Tails Jinchuriki in this Chunin Exam?"
"I don't know much about Jinchūriki, but the two Yugitos seem to be able to use the chakra of the tailed beasts to form a special chakra coat. In this state, their speed and strength will be enhanced..."
Although he didn't know why the Sandai asked, Jingyan still described the situation in detail.
"I heard that our village's Jinchūriki usually uses sealing techniques to control the tailed beasts?"
"Ah."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.
As a jonin, Kyouhiko was qualified enough to know some things, so he didn't avoid the question.
Most importantly, he needed Jingyan's first impression.
Then he threw the information in his hand over.
"Look at this."
"Yes!"
Jingyan took it.
Written on it is some information about the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee and the Two-Tails Jinchuriki Yumujin.
He read it over and passed it to Jiraiya.
Jiraiya finished reading it.
"Teacher, who is Kirabi's partner?"
"The son of the Third Raikage."
Sarutobi Hiruzen replied.
Jingyan waited for a long time before saying, "Hokage-sama, I feel that their plan and ideas for dealing with Jinchūriki may be different from ours. They may be trying to make further use of the tailed beasts."
"Is that so?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen took back the information scroll.
"I have the same guess in this regard, so, in your opinion, should we also try it?"
"The situation is different. The Nine-Tails and Eight-Tails are far more powerful than the Two-Tails. We must not try to do what they are doing."
Jingyan didn't hesitate.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment, then put away the scroll.
"I see."
He paused for a moment.
"Tell me about what happened this time."
Jiraiya hesitated slightly, but still told the truth about what happened.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned at first, and then his brows furrowed.
Finally, his face became calm.
"I understand. Thank you for your hard work. Go back and have a rest."
"Yes."
Jingyan stood up.
Jiraiya had no intention of leaving, but he gave him a look and Kyōhiko didn't stay.
Wait for Jingyan to leave.
"Old man, what are you going to do with Jing Yan?"
An 8-year-old jonin, unprecedented.
How to distribute and get along?
If things go wrong, Jingyan will face a similar dilemma as Kakashi.
"Don't worry, I won't treat your disciples unfairly, and your team was going to be split anyway."
"why?"
"Yuhi Kurenai has officially been accepted as Tsunade's apprentice. She will need to study with Tsunade for the next period of time. How can she have the time to accompany you on your mission?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen threw him an application.
This is the application submitted by Tsunade regarding the temporary transfer of Kurenai Yuhi.
"what?"
Jiraiya was confused.
He really didn't know this news!
Tsunade really accepted Hong as her disciple?
"Minato is very capable, but he has no experience in coaching or leading a team. My current idea is to have Kyouhiko, Kakashi, Might Guy, and Minato form an elite team and carry out A-rank missions together."
Sarutobi Hiruzen still knows the bottom line.
"Metkay?"
Jiraiya frowned, "Isn't it too early for this kid?"
He admitted that Kay was talented.
but.
Compared to Minato, Kyohiko and others, Might Guy's ability and strength are slightly weak, and he may not be able to survive high-difficulty missions above A-level.
"He's a hard-working kid. With Minato and Kyōhiko's support, there won't be much problem in carrying out A-rank missions. And Kyōhiko knows how to guide others. They can learn and grow from each other together."
"Okay, I have no objection then."
