ninja bandits

Nearly 200 people were already seated in the spacious and bright hall.

Most of the people were wearing the same style of ninja uniforms as Kaguya Kyū, and they were divided into two groups and sat in two areas on the left and right of the gate. The faces of these people generally looked more mature than Kaguya Kyū's group. Their backs were straight and their eyes were straight. He only used his peripheral vision to look at the people who had just arrived in this hall.

After entering the door, there is an aisle that can accommodate four people walking side by side, covered with red carpet, and leads directly to the square stone platform at the deepest part of the hall.

There is a long brown table placed on the square stone platform. Behind the table are five middle-aged and elderly men of different shapes who are not angry or intimidating, facing Kaguya and his party.

The familiar scene made Kaguya feel like he was in another world, as if he was not in the murderous Mizukage Building, but in the university's conference hall specially used for holding grade meetings.

After the ANBU ninja's voice sounded, the tall middle-aged man with long black hair, wearing a Mizukage hat, and squinting eyes at the center of the long table stood up from his seat and said so energetically: " Please lead all the heroes to the stage."

"Yes, Shuiying-sama."

After receiving the order, the ANBU ninja turned to the slightly nervous people behind him and whispered: "Everyone, follow what was rehearsed yesterday."

During the march, Kaguya tilted his head slightly and turned his attention to the tall man to the left of the Third Mizukage. He was wearing a loose gray robe, with two buns on both sides of his head, and two scarlet smeared on his eyebrows. On a middle-aged man with small polka dots.

That was Kaguya Musashi, the leader of their Kaguya clan, the strongest person in the Kaguya clan and one of the four elders of Kirigakure Village.

Feeling the gaze on the clan member's back, Kaguya Musashi nodded slightly, indicating that he didn't have to worry about the Mizukage group making things difficult and that everything would be done according to his orders.

After everyone was led by ANBU ninjas to leave a space in front of the stone platform, the third Mizukage cleared his throat, put his arms behind his back, and moved to the front of the stone platform, looking down at the people in the audience with a smile on his face. A smile of relief: "Five years ago, Konoha raided our area..."

The Third Mizukage looked at the stage above and talked about the glorious achievements of Kirigakure Village under his leadership for more than ten minutes, confusing right and wrong, and insisting that the war caused by the Kingdom of Water's active invasion of the Kingdom of Fire was defined as a self-defense counterattack by the Kingdom of Water. Night break was quite speechless.

Why is it that no matter whether it is the previous life or the ninja world, these leaders talk nonsense for so long without stopping to talk.

"...I feel that you all have fought bravely and bravely in the war, and have made great contributions to the village and the Kingdom of Water. Today, I will award you with the rewards you deserve on behalf of the Daimyo."

Taking a brown-red certificate from the ANBU ninja who appeared beside him at an unknown time, the third Mizukage looked solemn and recounted the words of a ninja: "Black Hoe Raiga, completed 42 D-level missions, C-level missions 87 missions, 101 B-level missions, 121 A-level missions, and a total of 36 enemy ninjas were killed during the war. I am hereby awarded the title of Junjonin. I hope you..."

Hearing the Third Mizukage read his name, a handsome man with long dark green hair and dark eye shadow walked quickly from the nearby stairs to the stage.

Filled with excitement and excitement, he automatically ignored the series of nonsense behind the Third Mizukage.

From today on, he, Black Hoe Raiga, is a jounin!

In the ninja world, jounin is the backbone of a ninja village.

Except for a few exceptions, jounin has no obvious weaknesses in terms of ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, strategic vision, leadership, and command abilities.

The number of jounin in a ninja village can directly reflect the strength and confidence of a village.

The most important thing is that after becoming a jounin, you have the power to vote on important decisions of the village, which can be regarded as officially entering the rights system of a ninja village.

Moreover, the strength gap between Jonin is huge, second only to the gap between Konoha Genin.

Strong ones such as Hatake [-] Kai and Kai Huang, the strongest taijutsu certified by Madara himself.

The weakest one is the role-playing jounin in various TV originals, who was directly beaten by the Twelve Little Strong who were just starting out.

But no matter how weak the jounin is, he is still a jounin, belonging to the upper level of the ninja pyramid, and has one foot in the ruling class.

"Black Hoe Jōnin, this is your Jōnin certificate, please keep it."

Tremblingly, he took the jounin certificate containing his information from the hands of the Third Mizukage. Black Hoe Raiga bowed deeply, with a hint of excitement in his nervous tone: "Yes, thank you Mizukage-sama for your cultivation." , I will do my best for the village and Mizukage-sama until my death."

"Yes, Not Bad."

Hearing the other party's words, the Third Mizukage smiled and nodded with satisfaction. He once again took a certificate from the ANBU ninja next to him and recited the resume of the next ninja.

……

……

When there were fewer and fewer people around him, Kaguya gradually had a bad feeling in his heart.

In terms of merit, his name should have been read long ago and he should have been on stage to accept the title. Unexpectedly, the Third Mizukage never read his name until he was the only one left in the original team.

"Kaguya Kyū, you have completed 22 D-level missions, 37 C-level missions, 11 B-level missions, and 5 A-level missions. During the war, you killed a total of 8 enemy ninjas. You are hereby awarded the title of special jounin. I hope you……"

As soon as the Third Mizukage's words came out, Kaguya's worries instantly turned into reality.

What he was awarded was actually a special jounin!

Although special jonins are nominally jonins, they do not have the same voting rights as ordinary jonins in important decisions of the village.

With his achievements in saving hundreds of ninjas from his village, becoming a jounin was more than enough.

Sure enough, once the external pressure disappears, internal contradictions will become prominent.

The war had just ended, and the seemingly broad-minded third generation Mizukage couldn't wait to start suppressing their blood successor family.

He is likely to be the first victim in this political struggle.

Kaguya's eyes flashed, and in an instant he analyzed the reason why he was targeted by the Third Mizukage.

"Specially for ninja!"

With a 'bang' slap on the wooden table, Kaguya Musashi, the leader of the Kaguya clan, suddenly stood up from his seat, shouted his name angrily, and sternly asked the third Mizukage: "Mizumori Kota, why are other people They are all jounin, but Kaguya Kyū is the special jounin!"

Among the 27 people in this investiture ceremony, only Kaguya Kyū was a special jounin. Wasn't this a slap in the face to Kaguya Musashi and the Kaguya clan in public?

It’s tolerable, it’s unbearable!

"Yes, yes, with Kyū-kun's achievements, if he is not qualified to become a jounin, then I am afraid there will not be many people here who are qualified to become a jounin."

Below, there are also ninjas who have been treated by Kaguya Hugh to fight for him.

"Mizukage-sama..." The ninja was about to say something, but his companion quickly covered his mouth.

The other party's expression was heavy, and the meaning conveyed in his eyes was clear: "The water is too deep here, and if you can't control it, don't get involved."

It was not a secret in the village that the Third Mizukage was biased against blood successor ninjas.
