"Did Tsunade tell the story about me awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan? So she feels guilty? She doesn't dare to look at me?"

Because of Tsunade's "escape" and the current situation in the Hokage's office, Uchiha Akino instinctively had such an idea in his mind.

After all, with Tsunade's carefree personality, it would be absolutely impossible for her not to dare to look at him unless something serious happened.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Akino felt a little uncomfortable inside.

He told Tsunade about his awakening of the Mangekyo Sharingan on the premise of trusting Tsunade, and Tsunade personally promised to keep his secret.

If Tsunade really told Sarutobi Hiruzen about the incident immediately after promising him to keep it a secret, he would never treat it like nothing happened in two days.

Even if Tsunade asks him to "come out once", it won't work, because this is his principle and bottom line.

Of course, if he misunderstood Tsunade, then he would be twice as kind to Tsunade in the future to make up for his previous distrust of Tsunade.

But even if he misunderstood, Tsunade's completely abnormal behavior was still at fault.

"The Third Hokage." Uchiha Akino kept a calm face and approached Sarutobi Hiruzen, saluted and said.

"You have grown so tall." Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his head, looked at Uchiha Akino and said with a smile, his tone was like that of Uchiha Akino's elder.

Uchiha Akino didn't know what purpose Hiruzen Sarutobi had in saying this. He could only raise the corners of his mouth slightly and squeeze out a smile towards Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"I still remember that you just graduated from the ninja school four years ago. When I awarded you the ninja forehead protector, you were just a child. In just a few years, you have become a ninja who can stand alone in the village." Sarutobi Hiruzen took a long puff of cigarette and continued to speak to Uchiha Akino in an elder's tone.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had a good habit. Ever since he became Hokage, he would personally issue ninja forehead protectors to the genin children who graduated from the ninja school every year, and personally issue them with the first task of becoming ninjas, instilling in them the belonging to Konoha. The Will of Fire in the Village.

Uchiha Akino, as a genin who graduated four years ago, was naturally awarded the ninja forehead protector by Sarutobi Hiruzen himself. With the memory in his mind, Uchiha Akino still remembered the excitement of Inuzuka Tobi and Momonogi Kanagawa at that time. .

"Hokage-sama, I'm not as good as you said. I still have a long way to go on my own as you said." Uchiha Akino didn't know that Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke so gently for various purposes. It was like bombarding him with sugar-coated bullets created by words, but he didn't think too much at this time and answered instinctively and humbly.

Humility is one of the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. This is an instinct that Uchiha Akino cannot change even if he travels to the world of Naruto.

After Uchiha Akino finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment. Apparently, the tone and content of Uchiha Akino's words were somewhat beyond his expectations.

As the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally knows the Uchiha clan, the largest clan in Konoha, very well.

In his opinion, all the ninjas of the Uchiha clan are very arrogant at heart. The more powerful and talented the Uchiha clan is, the more arrogant they are.

Therefore, most of the ninjas of the Uchiha clan showed humility when facing him, and they were just pretending.

But the humble attitude of the Uchiha Akino he just saw was very real, a reality that the teenage Uchiha Akino could never fake.

"Akino, you don't have to be modest. I heard what Tsunade said about your performance on the front line of the battlefield this time." Hiruzen Sarutobi continued to praise Uchiha Akino without changing his expression, and by the way, Tsunade who was waiting quietly aside He was also brought in as a piggyback.

After hearing these words, Uchiha Akino turned his head to look at Tsunade, burying his head deeper.

"It seems that Tsunade really said it all..."

Facing Tsunade's "second avoidance", Uchiha Akino almost confirmed his previous guess, and his mood suddenly became extremely disappointing.

Of course, Uchiha Akino was not worried that the top management of Konoha, headed by Sarutobi Hiruzen, would find ways to seize his Mangekyō Sharingan.

After all, it is only the thirty-fourth year of Konoha. Although there are barriers between Konoha Village and the Uchiha clan, they are far from incompatible. Taking away his Mangekyou Sharingan can be said to push the entire Uchiha clan to the opposite side.

For Konoha, which was still in the midst of the Second Ninja War, this was a very unworthy act.

Because of the loss in his heart, Uchiha Akino did not want to have any more conflicts with Sarutobi Hiruzenkyu, so he directly asked: "Hokage-sama, why did you call me here this time?"

"As long as there are leaves flying, fire will burn, and the shadow of the fire will illuminate the village and make new leaves sprout."

Facing Uchiha Akino's direct theme, Sarutobi Hiruzen first spoke "The Will of Fire" chicken soup, and then continued to look at Uchiha Akino and said: "Akino, you are now a powerful ninja. Combined with your outstanding performance on the battlefield, as the Third Hokage, I will make an exception and promote you to Jonin."

"Huh?" Uchiha Akino was a little confused, because Sarutobi Hiruzen's words were completely different from what he imagined.

How is this going?

Didn't Tsunade tell Sarutobi Hiruzen about my Mangekyou Sharingan?

But since I didn't say anything, why didn't Tsunade dare to face me?

Uchiha Akino couldn't help but turn his head to look at Tsunade, wanting to get information from Tsunade.

At this time, Tsunade still buried her head...

Uchiha Akino had no choice but to turn his head and salute Hiruzen Sarutobi and say thank you: "Thank you, Hokage-sama."

Because of doubts, Uchiha Akino still couldn't smile.

This point made Sarutobi Hiruzen also have doubts.

You know, for a ninja, being promoted to Jonin is definitely a great honor and something worth celebrating. Moreover, in the current Konoha Village, there are only three to four hundred apparent jounin + special jounin.

Uchiha Akino was promoted to Jonin when he was only fourteen years old, which was extremely rare among the five major ninja villages in the entire ninja world. From Sarutobi Hiruzen's point of view, Uchiha Akino should theoretically be very happy at this time.

Of course, questions remain questions and will not affect the next action.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up, picked up a jounin vest, walked to Uchiha Akino, and solemnly handed it to Uchiha Akino: "I now grant you the jounin vest. From now on, you are a member of Konoha." Named Jonin, your words and deeds represent the image of Konoha Village."

"Yes, Hokage-sama." Uchiha Akino took the Jonin vest with both hands and put it directly on the outside of the Uchiha uniform.
