“The alliance with Kusakure Village has been reached, which can be regarded as stabilizing the hidden dangers in Takigakure Village.
However, it can be seen from the actions of Takigakure that Iwagakure has recovered from the sneak attack by Kumo ninja, and their hands have slowly begun to extend. It is estimated that there will be many tasks in that direction in the next period of time.
.”
Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly pulled out of what he saw in the crystal ball. With his pipe in his mouth, he once again returned to the wise Third Hokage.
"It's time for those families to become more active. It's time for them to contribute."
Tsunade was not polite in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, so she casually pulled out the chair and sat down.
Toneri was the only one left standing there silently in the entire office.
"Toneri, you should go back first. You have completed the mission very well. Tsunade will share the rewards with you when the time comes."
Sarutobi Hiruzen noticed that Toneri was not in a very high mood.
He nodded, turned around and left the office without saying anything else.
"What's wrong with this kid?"
Tsunade's expression was also slightly helpless, "Maybe it's because I have seen the truly dark and ugly side of this world, and it was hard to accept it for a while.
Everyone has gone through such a process, and weren’t we also confused and lost because of it at the time?”
"Alas - this is a world that cannibalizes people. Just to protect the people around us, we have already used all our strength.
Although this child is a bit cunning and clever, he is indeed a good seedling, but it may take more of your time to guide him so that he can thrive on the right path and become another person who will protect Konoha from the wind and rain in the future.
A towering tree.
Not only him, but also Kushina brought by Shikakoro, and the child named Namikaze Minato, they all have unlimited futures.
What we need to do is to provide them with a relatively stable environment before they grow up and before we completely grow old."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's words were full of hope for the future, but there was also helplessness about his growing age.
"Tell that guy Jiraiya to come back quickly. The situation is not very clear now. With him here, there will be more protection.
Now, not only Sunagakure Village and Iwagakure Village, but even Kumogakure Village, which we have always been friends with, is ready to make a move."
"While we still have some strength, and the three of you have the ability to stand alone, it's time to show the ninja world how powerful and profound our Konoha is, and to shock those hesitant young people. There are some things that should be mentioned.
It’s on the agenda.”
Looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi standing up from his seat, the aura of "who else would he rather me than me" that belonged to a Shinobu hero in him was not at all inferior to that of back then.
Tsunade felt as if she had returned to the time when she had just become a ninja. Her teacher's omnipotent power appeared again in the aging Third Hokage.
The great Ninja Sarutobi Hiruzen has not completely aged yet.
His ambition has not been extinguished.
...
...
This time it really gave Shiren a lot of stimulation.
Although the original owner of his body was a man who had not eaten enough and had experienced hardships, he even thought that the scenes he saw in his memory were a true portrayal of the people at the bottom of the world.
But when I got in touch with Lingxiang, I saw that a girl like her who lost her home had to sell her blood and flesh in order to survive.
Only then did he truly understand that this world was much more cruel than he imagined. The residents of the Country of Grass who were in war were completely incomparable to the residents of a large country like the Country of Thunder that was barely at peace.
Moreover, reading memories is like watching TV. Although it is still shocking, it is far from the trembling that penetrates into the bone marrow and penetrates into the soul when in person.
It is impossible to understand the true cruelty of this world by relying solely on imagination.
To say something that was really hard for him to accept, when he was about to starve to death, it didn't matter what kind of meat he was, even if it was human flesh.
Only by personal experience can you feel the chill that comes from your soul.
Toneri admits that he is not a person with overflowing sympathy. All he can do is to try his best to protect himself, and when he has extra ability, he will worry about his companions and friends around him.
That's all.
This mission also made him understand how heavy the seemingly simple dream he said from Tsunade was.
From that day on, Toneri spent almost all his time on hard work, except for training, which was the dossier recording the ninjutsu given by Orochimaru, or the medical ninjutsu and various cases obtained from Tsunade.
Not only that, in order to stabilize the trump card in his hand, Danzo would also secretly provide some ninjutsu scrolls from time to time.
After that, there was extra time to conduct various experiments.
I learned from Orochimaru his desire for scientific exploration, and Orochimaru would sometimes entrust him with some secret experiments, even experiments that were not visible to the public.
He is like a shriveled sponge, constantly absorbing knowledge and growing rapidly with the support of many parties.
At the same time, Minato and Kushina were gradually rising to prominence with him. The three of them had an increasingly strong sense of presence among their peers, and even gradually became shining stars throughout Konoha.
Time flies so fast, one year has passed in the blink of an eye.
This has been a fulfilling year and a year of rapid growth.
The small-scale friction between the Sand Ninja and the Iwa Ninja and Konoha has never stopped, and has even become more and more intense. Whether openly or secretly, each other has suffered many casualties.
In addition to the friction between big countries, there is even more chaos among small countries supported by several big countries. The situation in the entire ninja world is turbulent on a scale visible to the naked eye.
A team composed of Toneri, Uchiha Yoshinari, and Nara Yoshino once again completed a very difficult B-level mission.
In this year, he is not the only one who has grown up. The progress of Uchiha Yoshinari and Nara Yoshino cannot be ignored, and the three of them have become more and more understanding.
This is the unknown number of tasks the three of them have done.
Because of Tsunade's special status and the tense situation, it was impossible to stay with them all the time.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen is also willing to give them some tasks that are relatively less dangerous, because the strength of the three of them has improved significantly.
Although he still carries the title of genin, he has already achieved the strength of a proper chuunin. He is even considered to be the best among many chunin. If it weren't for his balanced development in all aspects, he could even reach the top.
A special jounin rush.
If we really want to use ninja levels to divide them, it might be like creating a level that is unique to him, the elite chuunin!
A fully developed chuunin may sometimes burst out with more powerful combat power than those with special jounin titles.
This is without counting the two tails in his body.
In order to get Sarutobi Hiruzen to agree to the three genin taking on the B-level mission, in addition to Tsunade's guarantee, Toneri also demonstrated what it means to be a 90% perfect Jinchuuriki!
This was what really impressed Hiruzen Sarutobi and made him feel at ease to accept B-level missions for the three little guys.
In extraordinary times, of course there are extraordinary policies.
In order to make Toneri and his team more convincing, he individually awarded them the first-of-its-kind "Honorary Chuunin" title.
It was also during this time that I had no time to hold the Chunin Exams, otherwise there would be no need to go to such trouble.
But as soon as the special name "Honorary Chuunin" came out, it really blocked the mouths of many caring people, such as Danzo at the root, and the two Hokage advisors who like to worry about nothing.
Of course, in order to make Toneri look less obtrusive, Hiruzen Sarutobi also gave Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina the same title.
Sheren's strength is improving rapidly, and the two of them are not much inferior.
This is equivalent to pre-booking Chunin seats for them.
It was this special title that had a big impact on the entire Konoha, allowing the three of them to stand out among the younger generation for the first time.
