Among them, Hatake Kakashi is the most promising, with strong strength, steady style, outstanding reputation, rich experience in leading teams, and was once the captain of the ANBU.
However, personal will is also an important part.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also arranged two trials, but unfortunately, he was able to fight back both times.
Masters at the jounin level can no longer impose orders, especially for things other than necessary tasks.
Who knows, today's Jonin will become a candidate for Hokage in a few years.
In the eyes of the teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi and his seniors, weren't the "Sannin" of those days also children who loved to do mischief?
Later, he still became a master with great achievements in battle and made great contributions to Konoha Village.
Thinking of this, the third-generation old man smoked his pipe a little faster, then sighed slightly and put down Kakashi Hatake's information.
Judging from his performance, it is obvious that he is not willing to waste time playing house with children. Without special reasons, it is impossible for him to be lenient.
Perhaps Sarutobi Hiruzen's personal request could make him reluctantly do it.
However, a ninja combat team will fail if the leader is not very proactive and has difficulty forming a tacit understanding with his subordinates, let alone fetters.
It is impossible for a genius like Bai to repeat a year for this reason.
People like Gu Shan Bu Shui who studied ten sixth grade are not only unprecedented, but also probably will never be seen again in the future.
Yamanaka Haiichi is a good candidate, his strength and qualifications are not a problem, he is experienced and enthusiastic.
Unfortunately, Konoha Village is now in dire straits and needs talents everywhere. It seems a bit wasteful for a generalist like Yamanaka Haiichi to lead a genin team.
The remaining alternatives all have problems of one kind or another, but Baiyun Yeshan is relatively normal. It's not that he has to be the one, but in a short period of time, no one more suitable than him can be found.
The determined Hokage Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately issued the order.
Twenty minutes later, a young ninja with a solemn expression, a medium build and a conspicuous scar at the corner of his mouth arrived.
"Sandaime, are you looking for me?"
"Relax, don't be nervous, I have something to ask you."
Sarutobi Hiruzen blew his pipe, cleared his throat, and said with a smile,
"In the past two years, your students performed well in the Chuunin Exams, and you did a great job. This year, the last one... what is his name?"
"Tobe Masahiko!"
"Yes, Tobe, there is a great chance to be promoted in this year's Chunin exam. In this case, all your students will graduate. Originally, under this situation, it should take a few years before you are considered to lead the next batch of graduates. ,only……"
"Is...is there any reason why I have to do it? If that's the case, then I have no choice but to do it."
"It's not that exaggerated, because you are more suitable."
Said Sarutobi Hiruzen, handed over the information about Haku, Yayoi and Konishi,
"If nothing else happens, these three people will be in the same team after graduation. As for the captain, after much thought, I think it would be better for you to be the captain."
Perseverance, calmness, meticulousness, accurate analysis, rich experience, and excellent command ability are Baiyun Yeshan's advantages.
None of them are top-notch, but each one is excellent. Taken together, it’s terrifying.
As for his strength, there is no doubt that he can become a jounin at this age.
He has a clean background, is loyal and reliable, and has a tough style.
With such a talented person leading the team, it really shows that Konoha Village attaches great importance to him.
In the huge Konoha Village, apart from well-known ninjas such as "Konoha Technician" and "Ino Shikacho", there are no masters.
"Is that Shiro, who is said to be as talented as Kakashi? It's an honor for me to have such a child for me to teach."
"As long as you agree, I'm just letting you know in advance this time. You still have to follow the rules when doing things."
If there really is something wrong with the assessment, or if your temperament does not meet the standards for leading a jounin, and you should be beaten back, don't be polite.
"Understood. I wonder if the Sandaime has any other explanations?"
"That's all. Go and get busy. When you have time, you can go see your future students and make preparations in advance."
"As commanded."
After Baiyun Hayama, who knelt down on one knee and accepted his promise, resigned, Sarutobi Hiruzen also breathed a sigh of relief.
As the old man aged, he felt more and more that his energy was a little weak, his thinking was not as sharp as before, and his strength may have also declined significantly.
The "Doctor of Ninjutsu" who was so powerful back then, I wonder how much strength he still has left.
The old man looked up and stared at the hanging statue of the past Hokage, remembering the original scene. The old man was in a trance when he heard a knock on the door from behind. Before he could say "please come in", the door was pushed open, and a white-faced young man was entering. The bearded Sarutobi Asuma walked in quickly.
"It's you, what's the emergency?"
"I want to ask you to borrow some money."
"Um?"
The third-generation old man was stunned. Ever since he ran away from home, his son had never asked his father, who was the Hokage, for personal matters. He even dared not even think about borrowing money.
"Have you used up all your commissions over the years? Could it be that you have picked up some bad habits..."
The gloomy Orochimaru, Jiraiya who was so lustful that he peeped at the open-air bath, and Tsunade, the "big fat sheep" who was both good and fun-loving, were the eternal pain in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart.
If they had not contracted those bad habits, their fate would have been very different!
"Nothing. I have saved most of the money. As for consumption, smoking is more expensive, and occasionally I go to have a few big meals with friends..."
"Then what do you want the money for?"
The old man is not without money. After all, the Sarutobi family took the lead in responding to the call of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara and formed the founder of Konoha Village. He still has a lot of savings, and the family can also dig out some.
"Buy a house! To the southeast of the village's main road, there are a number of 'one-family houses' that are about to be pre-sold. I want to take advantage of the discounts and buy one in advance."
"Why did you buy that? There is still a place for you in the family mansion! Those 'one-family houses' are prepared for new independent families and outsiders who immigrate to Konoha Village."
Sarutobi Asuma blushed and hesitated to speak.
As a father, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his son's face and understood instantly.
This is because I hate living with my family, it’s a bit in the way!
Young people all have this time!
Nowadays, it is no longer the time when various families live together in groups to stay warm and exclude foreigners.
When you are in a relationship, it is so uncomfortable to have other people watch your every move.
"Do you have any clues about the matter between you and Hong?"
"not yet."
"snort!"
Pouring his lips in dissatisfaction, the old father couldn't help but worry about his son's stupidity.
It’s human nature to know and admire Shaoai! Emotional entanglements and troubles between young people are normal, but my son's performance was too poor.
Of course, this is no wonder to the young family governor Gushan. The girl is willing to marry a married man with four children, but is unwilling to accept Asma's love. Who is to blame?
"Buying 'one house' is a method you think is useful?"
"I think it's at least more convenient than living in an old house."
"Fine."
Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a moment and agreed.
Konoha Village's land area is extremely limited, land prices remain high, and the price of houses has naturally increased.
Kosugi Fusui's original idea was to build a large number of high-rise residential buildings and sell a few more houses. When the "Konoha Collapse Plan" happened, he could cut all the leeks.
Later, I investigated the current level of construction and found that it would take at least half a year to build a reinforced concrete skyscraper, excluding the adobe house that could be built quickly using ninjutsu.
This is still with the help of ninjas, and just relying on ordinary people to knock on it, two years may not be enough.
Taking into account the house sales cycle of more than half a year, it is estimated that soon after a large number of people move in, the house will be blown up by the sound ninja and the sand ninja.
The food looks too ugly, somewhat unattractive, arouses too many people's anger, and somewhat unwise.
However, after living in it for more than two years, the house was destroyed by the war. It is impossible to blame the Gushan family.
Just a man who worked hard to build and sell houses, but also thoughtfully provided low-interest loans to families who might not be able to afford a house for a while. No matter how you look at it, he is also a victim.
Of course, even if the house is gone, the loan still has to be repaid.
Considering everyone's actual needs, the Gushan family can also help with repairs for a fee. If you have no money, you can continue to take out loans.
Based on the current population of Konoha Village and the actuary's evaluation, after calculating the "one-household construction" plan that maximized profits, Kosugi Bosui asked his cousin Ji Ji to build it as quickly as possible, starting before it was completely completed. Pre-sale, release preferential information, and provide mortgage loans.
There were not just one or two Konoha villagers who were attracted like Sarutobi Asuma.
In short, through a series of financial methods that are not complicated but not well understood by ordinary people, the white money flowed around and returned to the Gushan family's bank. Many villagers in Konoha Village have carried relatively large amounts of money. , but the price of the loan, which was barely affordable, was exchanged for a "one-family home" that was about to be moved into.
Regardless of whether it is ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, five thousand years ago, or the past and present, settling down and starting a family are the lifelong goals of most ordinary people.
The cooperation between the Furusugi family and the Leaf Village has allowed many people who are still accumulating family assets to live a comfortable life in advance, and it has really won a lot of favor. Even the top management of the Leaf Village feels that this step is indeed the right one.
To the southeast of Konoha Village, Katsura Haruki, wearing a bright yellow safety helmet, walked in and out among a group of craftsmen wearing white safety helmets, coordinating various matters and busy working on the residential area that was about to be completed.
It wasn't until the evening that the middle-aged man returned to his apartment and dragged his tired body to the sofa to take a rest.
The man, who was too tired to move, was just about to take a nap. The image of his gentle and virtuous wife appeared in his mind. He thought about the child who was about to be born, and his whole body suddenly became energetic again.
He sat up and took out the mail from the drawer and read it.
Gui Meiqin just sent peace and blessings.
Gu Shan Bu Shui's explanation is a bit long.
The core content is probably that he will not come to Konoha Village to watch the Chunin Examination this year, and the daimyo will not come due to busy schedules. Only Liangshige's cousin will be present as a representative.
At that time, cousin Haruji and Togakushi Hinode will need to arrange the daimyo heir's itinerary to protect his safety.
Gu Shan Bu Shui is not here this year, not because he doesn’t pay enough attention, but because he has other things to do and needs to go to the Bear Country?
Speaking of this country, Gui Zhiji couldn't think of anything important for his cousin to go to such a place.
Is the puppet he supports - the Star Ninja Village so important?
The Country of Rivers and the Country of Winds, facing each other across the sea, are also barren places. Bandits are rampant on the sea and there are reefs everywhere. It is really not a good place.
In fact, Gu Shan Bu Shui had no choice but to go there.
Although the "Akatsuki" organization is still dormant, and there are still two or three years before the official operation to capture the tailed beasts, its official members are not good men and women, and they are running around throughout the entire ninja continent, causing a lot of trouble.
Not long ago, the Konoha ninjas united with the underground bounty house and wiped out several stray ninja lairs. However, they somehow provoked the revenge of the Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara. After causing some killings, their footsteps also We arrived at the junction of the Land of Fire and the Land of Sichuan, not far from Kakuzu and Hidan's activity area.
It just so happened that the area where Furugi Fusui told Kaguya Kimimaro, Kusanagi Kyo, Toudo Kasumi and Ranmaru to support the "Zagazuna" to stabilize their territory was not too far away.
In this way, as long as the movement is too loud, it will most likely attract the attention of the "Akatsuki" organization.
Do we need to contact the "Xiao" organization in advance, or give them a warning?
If Nagato, who possesses the Rinnegan Eye, is not around, Kosugi Bosui is actually not that afraid of conflict with those S-level rebellious ninjas.
It is definitely impossible to fight alone against a strong team of two.
The advantage of the Gushan family is that there is strength in numbers.
There may not be a strong person who can match the "Five Kages", but there are people at the chuunin and quasi-jounin level who can cause great damage.
The Iwa Ninja can use tens of thousands of cannon fodder to kill the Raikage, and Kosugi Bushui can even send out more.
Of course, there is no special need. You definitely can’t do this to Gu Shan Bu Shui.
What's more, relying solely on human lives to pile up would be too much of a loss.
The steel fleet that Gushan Bu Shui spent so much money to build, as well as a large number of "hand-made" high-destructive thermal weapons, plus scientific ninja tools that are barely usable, it's time to test the actual combat effectiveness.
Whether they will really have a conflict with Kakuzu, Hidan, the Red Sand Scorpion, Deidara and others has not yet been decided.
On the sea, with the assistance of the mermaid troops, Gu Shan Bu Shui can be invincible. If he cannot win, the vast sea is an escape route, and he is not afraid of being intercepted at all.
It was precisely because it was on the coast of Kawanoguni that Gusugi Bosui decided to go there in person.
Gu Shan Bu Shui, who had not had a real fight with a strong enemy for a long time, also needed a battle to test the results of these years.
It has been several months since the "wedge" was implanted, and the unfreezing progress is slow. In addition to qualification issues, it is also not neglected in actual combat and lacks good opportunities for breakthroughs.
Fuma Arashi and Lin Yuri are not very adaptable to the "wedge", but they often fight, and their defrosting speed is really enviable by Fusugi Bosui.
