Naruto: Can't learn ninjutsu? I'll just practice immortality!

"Teacher Orochimaru."

After exchanging pleasantries with several teammates, Asakawa Naoki looked at Orochimaru in front of them.

Orochimaru also looked at Asakawa Naoki, his eyes full of satisfaction. No matter from which aspect, Asakawa Naoki was his most satisfied disciple.

"Are you okay?" Orochimaru asked with concern.

Orochimaru was referring to the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Asakawa Naoki becoming the second Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was Konoha's top secret information.

But Orochimaru, as Asakawa Naoki's teacher and the disciple of the Third Hokage, naturally knew about this.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Asakawa Naoki shook his head and smiled.

"Since it's your choice, as a teacher, I can only believe you." Orochimaru said helplessly:

"If you have any problems, remember to tell me, I will help you find a solution."

"Naoki boy, you can also come to me if Orochimaru can't solve it!" Jiraiya smiled.

"Don't trust Jiraiya, he's unreliable," Tsunade interrupted unceremoniously, "If you have any problems with Kushina, remember to come to me."

"I know, teacher." Asakawa Naoki smiled.

It feels good to be taken care of by someone. It was indeed the right choice to become a disciple of Orochimaru.

It would be great if the relationship between the three ninjas could continue like this.

"By the way, teacher Orochimaru, your Kusanagi sword."

Asakawa Naoki presented the handleless straight sword on his back with both hands. In a sense, the Kusanagi sword is indeed a divine weapon. It is not only indestructible and extremely sharp, but also has a good transmission of chakra.

Even without the tempering of the Samadhi True Fire, the strength of the Kusanagi sword itself can be comparable to his two flying swords.

If it is tempered again, I am afraid that the strength and sharpness can be improved.

"Didn't I say before that I'll give you this Kusanagi sword?"

Orochimaru took the Kusanagi sword with a smile, formed a seal with one hand and then pressed it on the Kusanagi sword, and after removing a certain connection, he put the Kusanagi sword back in Asakawa Naoki's hand.

"I have removed the ninjutsu on the Kusanagi sword, and this sword will belong to you from now on."

"Didn't Orochimaru teacher say that he would give it to me when I'm promoted to Jonin?" Asakawa Naoki took the Kusanagi sword with some doubts.

"What do you think this commendation meeting is for?" Jiraiya smiled and patted Asakawa Naoki on the shoulder and said:

"You may be the youngest Jonin in Konoha."

As soon as Jiraiya finished speaking, the crowd around him suddenly became quiet, but the excitement in people's eyes could not be suppressed at all. Needless to say, Nawaki was excited, and even Namikaze Minato, who had always been very calm, looked expectantly at the position of the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen on the stage.

"Next, congratulations to these ninjas who have made great contributions to Konoha in the process of defending Konoha for being promoted to Jonin!" Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice fell, and the atmosphere on the scene became tense and warm.

Konoha's Jonin does not have strict standards or exams. Often, after the ninja's strength and mission experience are similar, the guiding ninja or the elders of the ninja clan think that they are qualified to become Jonin and recommend them to the Hokage's office.

Finally, based on their performance, the Hokage will decide whether they can be promoted to Jonin.

Therefore, even if the strength or mission experience has reached the standard, it is not necessarily 100% possible to become a Jonin. It depends on the opinion of the third generation Hokage.

At present, because of the war, many ninjas have accumulated enough mission experience to become Jonin, but they are still a little nervous about their own strength, so they are so nervous.

"First, Tokugawa Daisuke. During the war, he completed seven S-level missions and sixteen A-level missions, and rescued his companions from the hands of the Rain Ninja several times. He has a calm personality and strong strength. He was promoted to the Jonin who protects Konoha, and he deserves it."

After Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, a burly middle-aged man slowly walked out of the crowd. Although his steps were steady, the excitement in his eyes betrayed his excitement.

"Thank you, Lord Hokage! I will definitely protect Konoha well!" Tokugawa Daisuke said seriously.

"Well, come on."

Sarutobi Hiruzen patted Tokugawa Daisuke on the shoulder to encourage him, and then handed a green vest representing Konoha Jonin to Tokugawa Daisuke. The audience burst into thunderous applause, and many people cheered for him.

"Next, Oishi, he had accumulated a lot of mission experience before this war. In the war with the Sand Ninja, he made great achievements, completed six S-level missions and twenty-six A-level missions, and thwarted the Sand Ninja's conspiracy many times. He is powerful and alert. Now he has been promoted to Konoha Jonin, and he deserves the title."

"Thank you, Hokage. I will definitely protect Konoha well!"

A tall and thin man walked out slowly and said slowly, looking like a monkey.

"Come on."

Sarutobi Hiruzen also patted Oishi's shoulder to encourage him, and handed a green vest to Oishi, and the audience applauded again.

It must be said that Sarutobi Hiruzen did a good job in this regard, not only satisfying the vanity of the promoted, but also planting a seed in the hearts of other ninjas and the people, enhancing their collective sense of honor.

"Next, Nara Shikakai, in the battle against the Sand Ninja, he came up with many ingenious plans and completed eight S-level tasks and twenty A-level tasks..."

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen proudly promoted 19 ninjas to Jonin, but except for the former Two of them were civilian ninjas, and the remaining 17 were all ninjas from the ninja clan.

Naoki Asakawa was not surprised by this.

After all, this world is a world where blood and secret techniques are supreme. Genius civilian ninjas like Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru are few and far between.

However, as the number of people promoted to jonin gradually increased, it was still not Naoki Asakawa's turn. His teammates were a little anxious, especially the straightforward Rope Tree and Kushina. What they thought seemed to be written on their faces. It was not until Sarutobi Hiruzen said the name of the last jonin that they turned from worry to joy.

"The last ninja promoted to jonin." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked through the crowd and smiled at Naoki Asakawa and the others.

"He is not very old, but his strength is not weak. He has completed difficult tasks many times in the Sand Ninja battlefield and led his teammates to defeat the Sand Ninja's jonin. ”

“In addition, when he encountered the "demigod" Hanzo of the Salamander in the Land of Rain, he lured Hanzo away alone in order to buy time for his teammates, and successfully escaped from the Land of Rain alive. ”

“Although he graduated from the Ninja School less than a year ago, he has completed nine S-level tasks, sixteen A-level tasks, and twelve B-level tasks. ”

“When I learned about his mission experience, I was a little hesitant about whether to promote him to Jonin. ”

“Because he is too young, he has just become a Chunin for less than a year. I am afraid that many ninjas are dissatisfied with his promotion speed. ”

“But in the end, I decided to promote him to Jonin, because Konoha will not suppress such a talented ninja. ”

“He is, Naoki Asakawa!”

As soon as Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice fell, there was thunderous applause around him, and the cheers were far more enthusiastic than any previous promotion of Jonin.
