Naruto from the beginning six eyes to cultivate Lin

With a big wave of his hand.

Sarutobi Hiruzen directly wrote Kakashi's appointment letter as a Chunin.

When he came to Jianyue, he stopped writing and hesitated for a while.

Finally, he changed the place where "Chunnin" should have been written to "Special Jonin".

The so-called "Special Jonin" means that some aspects of ability have reached the Jonin level, but overall they cannot become Jonin, a level between Chunin and Jonin.

But this is the official definition of "Special Jonin" by Konoha.

The reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen appointed Jianyue as a special Jonin is not that he thinks Jianyue's strength is only a special Jonin.

It is because Konoha's ninjas must pass the Jonin exam to be called "Jonin".

Even in wartime, the highest Hokage can only bypass the assessment of special Jonin and directly appoint a ninja.

After all, Jonin is the highest level of ninja on the surface, and can already participate in most important meetings of the village.

Even as the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen is a jonin in terms of rank.

So even if he is the head of Konoha Village, he cannot arbitrarily designate anyone to be a jonin.

His fingertips tapped the table of the Hokage's desk.

An Anbu wearing a dog-faced mask instantly appeared in the office.

"Please."

"Yes, Hokage."

After taking the two appointment letters from Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Anbu stepped back and left instantly.

After dealing with the promotion of Kakashi and Mizuki.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up, walked to the window of the Hokage's office, and thought about other things.

In his opinion, the Sand Village can no longer hold on.

This is not Sarutobi Hiruzen's personal opinion.

It is a fact that is in plain sight.

During the Second Shinobi World War, the Sand Village was defeated by Konoha. Not only did it suffer huge losses, but even the son of the advisor Chiyo died under the knife of Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo.

But soon after that war, the Sand Village tore up the peace treaty signed with Konoha on the grounds that Konoha assassinated the Third Kazekage, and launched another war.

You should know that at this time, even Konoha, as the victorious country, had not fully recovered, let alone the Sand Village with poor land.

Therefore, the Sand Village was completely supported by morale on the battlefield.

The status of the village's shadow is still very high in the minds of ninjas.

With this declining morale, the Sand Village actually fought on par with the scattered Konoha.

But that was a thing of the past.

Now, with the active battlefield of Minato Namikaze and Mizuki Shimizu, the battle line fortifications that Sand Village had finally arranged in the River Country have been completely defeated.

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen can conclude that.

The war with the Sand Village is about to enter the final decisive battle, and in this decisive battle, Konoha is likely to be the winner.

But unlike the barefoot Sand Village, Konoha has always firmly occupied the most fertile land in the ninja world and the position of the first ninja village.

Its enemy has never been just one Sand Village.

Therefore, winning the war with Sand Village is not a problem.

How to win Sand Village at a small enough cost is what Sarutobi Hiruzen has been worrying about recently.

Now Sand Village is like a hungry wolf that is forced into a desperate situation, showing its fierce fangs, just to bite off the hunter's meat in the end.

"Hu~"

Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Call Danzo and the elders."

An Anbu wearing a cat-faced mask instantly appeared in the Hokage's office and answered: "Yes, Hokage-sama."

...

The sun shines through the window on the corridor of the Hokage Building, forming patches of mottled light and shadow. Shimura Danzo, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En, three high-level figures of Konoha, walked side by side.

Finally, they arrived in front of the Hokage's office. Danzo's gloomy eyes swept over the sign on the door, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible sneer. Koharu seemed gentler, but her eyes also revealed firmness and determination. Mitomon En had a serious face, as if he was thinking about something important.

With a "creak", they stepped into this room full of power.

Konoha F4 is assembled!

Danzo walked to the desk first and sat down. He crossed his hands on his chest, leaned back slightly, and looked at the other two with scrutiny.

Koharu and Mitomon En also sat down one by one, and the atmosphere instantly became solemn.

No one spoke, and the whole room fell into silence, with only the occasional slight breathing sound breaking the tranquility.

Mitomon En looked at these people and they didn't move. His old teammates were getting more and more stingy as they got older, and they wanted him to start first.

"Ahem, then, Hiruzen, you suddenly gathered the elders today."Is there something important?"

"It's about the River Country. Recently, the Root has received intelligence that the Sand Village is ready to go all out." Danzo said with narrowed eyes.

"Yes, although I don't know the exact time, it should be before the end of the year." Sarutobi Hiruzen said as he refilled his tobacco.

Utatane Koharu lowered her head and thought, and suddenly said: "Should we send reinforcements to the front line? If it is really a decisive battle, the number of ninjas on the River Country front should not be comparable to the Sand Ninjas who are out in full force. "

After Mitomonen heard Utatane Koharu's analysis, he said with concern: "But now the village does not have enough ninjas. The battle situation in Kirigakure and Iwagakure is not as smooth as that in Sand Country. Once a large number of ninjas are withdrawn to River Country, I am afraid..."

This is true.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is also worried about this. You must know that Konoha is currently fighting on three fronts.

The opponents are Sand Country, Kirigakure and Iwagakure.

Kirigakure is geographically located high overseas. As long as it controls the ports of Water Country, Konoha will have no choice. It is impossible to transport a large number of ninjas over.

On the other hand, due to the fall of the Whirlpool Country, Konoha is like a lion whose eyes have been pecked out.

With brute force, it is unable to effectively block the infiltration of Kirigakure from overseas.

Therefore, the battle line here has been drawn to the coastline of the Land of Fire.

As a result, the high-level combat forces of Kirigakure often directly cross the border defense line and enter the interior of the Land of Fire to wreak havoc.

It is worth mentioning that the battlefield here is fought by the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan as the main combat forces.

Therefore, although the battle situation is not smooth, However, as these two are the two great families of Konoha, the village does not need to worry too much about the problem of military strength on the Kirigakure front.

The situation is more troublesome for Iwagakure, as there are large small countries between the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth.

The area is the largest among the small countries bordering other big countries.

As a war buffer zone, this is an advantage that other fronts do not have.

But because of this, the battlefield between Konoha and Iwagakure has always been the battlefield with the largest number of ninjas.

This front is under the charge of Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas.

Orochimaru's own talent Of course, there is no need to say much about his strength, but Ohnoki, the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, is not a simple character either.

In the Second Ninja World War, he was called "Ohnoki, the Two-Scale" because of his outstanding wisdom and means.

Therefore, although Orochimaru was not defeated in the war with Iwagakure, he was often at a disadvantage.

In two of the three battlefields, he was at a disadvantage.

In this case, Konoha really had no spare energy to send reinforcements to the battlefield of River Country.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know how many times he had refilled his old cigarette today.
