After recovering from my injury for two months, I finally recovered and was discharged from the hospital. I took off my hospital gown, put on my own clothes, and held Xiaoxue's hand. I felt indescribably comfortable.

It was really uncomfortable for me to lie in the hospital bed for so long. After all, the food in the hospital was really not complimentary. Xiaoxue became very haggard in order to take care of me. So I quickly took Xiaoxue to the place where we had been.

The most expensive restaurant in Konoha.

I was a regular customer of that store, and the money and wages I earned from doing tasks were basically spent on their family. The owner of that store was very happy when he saw me, and greeted me with a smile: "Hatake Kurone, long time no see."

Ah, I heard that you killed the Fourth Mizukage in this battle, tsk tsk tsk..."

"Well, that's right. I've just recovered from my injury and I'm greedy. Come here for a meal. Is there a discount? I'm a regular customer." I said shamelessly.

"You are now the hero of Konoha. Doesn't that mean you are giving me a discount? This meal is my treat. If you come later, you will get 50% off." The boss said cheerfully.

"Then I'll be disrespectful, thank you."

So Xiaoxue and I ate all sorts of things, taking things in and out, and finally left with satisfaction. The boss didn’t say anything, after all, I’m famous now, and eating in his restaurant is equivalent to doing a lot of publicity, so it’s not a loss.

.

About a week after being discharged from the hospital, the Third Hokage finally announced the promotion of a group of new jounin, including me, Koyuki and Shisui.

Since several of the new jounin were the heroes of this war, this ceremony was very grand.

The Third Hokage stood on the Hokage Building. The square and streets below were full of people. They were all talking about anything. After all, Konoha was not involved in this war, but took the initiative to send troops. Many

People don't understand.

"Some people may ask me why Sunagakure and Iwagakure are fighting. We have to go through this muddy water. Now I tell you, if Sunagakure is destroyed, then the next step is for Iwagakure and Kirigakure to join forces to attack Mu

Ye, where will we go? Will Kumogakure support us? Obviously not." The Third Hokage said silently, "So, we send troops not only to rescue Sunagakure, but also for the future of Konoha!"

After listening to Sandai's words, many people below lowered their heads and began to reflect. They probably felt that what Sandai said was very reasonable, and they all nodded in agreement.

"So, are the ninjas who shed their lives and blood for this war our heroes of Konoha?" asked the Third Hokage.

"Yes!" everyone below shouted unanimously.

"Some heroes have died, and they will be engraved on memorial tablets and will be remembered by us forever, but those heroes who are alive deserve our praise!" The Third Hokage continued, "Just like the dozen or so people standing behind me.

Excellent ninjas may only be chuunin or special jounin when they join the battle, but due to their outstanding performance in the battle, I decided to promote them to jounin."

With that said, the Third Hokage took out a piece of paper and started reading.

"Mazar Akimichi, a former chunin, performed well in the war and fought bravely, and was promoted to jounin."

"Hyugaya, the former chunin, during the war..."

…………

"Uchiha Shisui, a former chunin, completed the mission for the cover team during the war. He single-handedly dealt with two Kirigakure seven and defeated them. He performed very well and was promoted to jounin."

"Uchiha Kasuki, a former special jounin, has rich mission experience. During the war, he assisted captain Hatake Kurone to successfully destroy the supply line of Kirigakure's troops, and killed the fourth generation Mizukage Kuraya. He had outstanding achievements and was promoted to jounin.

"

"Hatake Kurone."

When Sandai called me, he paused, raised his head and looked at me with a smile.

"Yes." I looked serious and stood at attention immediately.

"Former special jounin, deputy captain of the sixth ANBU team. In this battle, he led his team to break through the enemy's many interceptions, and finally attacked the supply line of Kirigakure's troops alone, killing four of Kirigakure's seven people, using a trick

He killed the Fourth Mizukage and successfully destroyed the supply line of the Kirigakure troops, which laid the foundation for reversing the unfavorable situation and allowing the large forces to achieve final victory. He was indispensable for his contribution. He was promoted to Jonin and served as the captain of the sixth ANBU detachment. Due to the

The members of Team 6 have all been lost, and Hatake Kurone has been specially approved to select new members in Konoha."

"Okay, the announcement is over." The Third Hokage put the paper into his pocket, took out his cigarette and took a puff.

There was thunderous applause from below.

I puffed up my chest very proudly and looked at the gazes of countless people in the audience. There was admiration, envy, and worship. It can be said that this time, the names of Konoha's Black Lightning and Hatake Kurone are known to everyone.

, no one knows it.

There are advantages and disadvantages, so many people will focus on me, let alone Danzo, Orochimaru, and Obito. I can't deal with these two guys now. If they become interested in me, it will be really difficult.

.

Forget it, let’s take it one step at a time.

"Now, let our hero say a few words and talk about his feelings." The Third Hokage stepped back and gave up the stage to us.

One by one, everyone went up and said a few words nervously. Some expressed joy, some commemorated the fallen comrades, some expressed determination, some thanked their companions and the village, and some were nervous and hemmed and hawed and could not speak.

Both Shisui and Koyuki said they would continue to fight for the village and their companions, and constantly improve their strength, etc.

Finally, it was my turn to speak, and I slowly stepped forward.

Countless eyes below looked at me closely, making my heart beat fast.

I took a deep breath and said with a smile: "I can be considered an outsider. I have only been in Konoha for five short years, but I have completely integrated into the village. I love Konoha, and Konoha is a place full of love.

It taught me the will of fire. Ninjas are not cold machines. Ninjas also have their own beliefs and things that they must protect even if they risk their lives. My tribemate Kakashi told me that people who do not follow the rules may be called

Trash, but those who don’t value their companions are not as good as trash. I will try my best to guard Konoha, protect my companions, and become a leaf on the big tree of Konoha."

As I said that, I made a fist with my right hand and raised it.

The crowd was boiling and there was thunderous applause.

"Hatake Kurone, well done!"

"Hero of Konoha!"

"Long live Konoha!"

There was a lot of shouting below.

"In addition, I want to announce something in front of everyone." I raised a strange arc in the corner of my mouth, "In the past five years, I have not only gained the friendship of many companions, but also gained my own love. I and a girl

Fall in love, fall in love, today, I feel I am qualified to marry her."

I suddenly turned around, took three steps and two steps at a time, ran to Xiaoxue, knelt down alone, and took out a shining ring.

"Uchiha Huixue, I love you, marry me!" (To be continued)
