Hokage’s Strongest Insect Master

After eating breakfast, Zhizhen burped contentedly.

The three of them were chatting, a black shadow flashed in front of them, and a figure appeared in front of them.

"Jijin-kun, Hokage-sama, please." The person here is Anbu from Third Generation.

When Zhizhen heard this, he saw the Anbu, Third Generation news quickly. He knew his situation within half an hour after he was discharged from the hospital and sent someone to look for him.

However, Zhizhen didn't know it. From the time he was hospitalized, Third Generation sent two Anbus to guard him around the hospital to protect his safety and also to guard against Danzo's troubles.

Although Danzo didn't show up during this period, Third Generation knew that he had to guard against him as an old friend.

Zhizhen offended Danzo once because of Yakumo. With Danzo's flaws, Third Generation was afraid that he would take this opportunity to attack Zhizhen, so he made such an arrangement.

Fortunately, Danzo didn't have any changes, and the week passed smoothly.

"Well, I was going to see Master Hokage after breakfast." Zhizhen got up, paid for the meal, and smiled and said to the Anbu, "Thank you."

Anbu bowed slightly, then disappeared. His task was to inform Zhizhen.

Now that Zhizhen has recovered, he and the other Anbu will return to Third Generation first.

"How are you two? Come with me?" Shima asked Zaemon and Uemon.

Uemon glanced at Shishin, "Is this still necessary?"

Zaemon also nodded, and said, "Naturally, I will be with Mr. Shizhen."

"Okay, let's go." Zhizhen responded with a smile.

After all, the three rushed to Hokage's office building and knocked gently on the office door.

"Come in." Third Generation's gentle voice sounded.

Pushing the door and entering, there is no difference in the office. Third Generation has a thin body, still sitting behind the desk, working with documents.

"Hokage-sama." Zhizhen and the three met in a salute.

Third Generation smiled slightly, finished processing the document in hand, put down the pen, smiled and looked at Xiang Zhizhen: "How is it, is your body recovered?"

"Yes, my lord, I have recovered." Zhizhen answered with a smile.

Third Generation nodded when he heard the words, and said, "This time, your performance Kakashi and Asuma have told me that they are doing well, Shima."

I don’t know if it’s because of Hokage. The praise from Third Generation is very exciting, and the feeling of being recognized fills my heart.

"Thank you, my lord, this is my duty." Although Zhizhen was happy, he was humble.

Third Generation chuckled and didn't say much. He knew Zhizhen's ability, and he believed that Zhizhen was really fine.

Afterwards, he threw out a certificate to Zhizhen.

Zhizhen took it suspiciously and took a closer look. It was his ninja card, with his photo, name, and ninja level on it.

Aburame Shima, Konoha special Jōnin.

Special Jōnin! ? Zhizhen widened his eyes and looked at Third Generation: "My lord, what is this?"

"This is a reward for you. You have been a Chūnin for three years, right?" Third Generation smiled and said, "You performed well in these two missions. According to Kakashi and Asuma, you already have the qualities for promotion. So, promote you to special Jōnin."

Ahhhhh, I got a promotion!

Zaemon and Uemon were also a little surprised at Zhizhen's promotion. Is this a special Jōnin?

But it is also true that Zhizhen currently has more strength than the average Chūnin. Although he cannot reach the elite Jōnin, he can indeed be rated as a special Jōnin.

In Konoha's ninja level, there are two types of Jōnin, one is the elite Jōnin like Kakashi, and the other is the special Jōnin promoted by Shima.

The former is the upright Jōnin. To become such a Jōnin requires high and rigid requirements in all aspects.

In particular, Jōnin is not as good as Jōnin, not as high in gold as Jōnin, and not as good as Jōnin.

But to be rated as a special Jōnin, there is also a hard requirement, that is, a ninja with unique skills, special talents and development in a certain aspect.

Such as research, education, espionage... and so on.

For example, Neji three years later, Shiranui Genma and Yamashiro Aoba, who worked with Shizhen this time, and Konohamaru's teacher, Ebisu, and so on.

They are Konoha's special Jōnin.

And Zhizhen, obviously also meets the conditions of becoming a special Jōnin.

This made Zhizhen very happy. Although it was only a special Jōnin, it was Jōnin anyway.

Speaking out, compared to Chūnin, it feels that it is much higher grade!

When introducing himself in the future, Shima felt that he could speak a little louder, and said: "I am Noginoha, Jōnin, Aburame Shima!"

Is it much better than Konoha Chūnin and Aburame Shima?

This time the promotion made Zhizhen so happy because this special Jōnin was the result of Zhizhen's own efforts.

The one in my heart is happy, let him thank you again and again towards Third Generation: "Thank you Lord Hokage! Thank you so much!"

However, Zhizhen didn't realize that this was Third Generation's routine.

He didn't realize that, in particular, Jōnin has a higher status than Chūnin, but at the same time the corresponding responsibility has become greater!

Third Generation looked at Zhizhen as happy as a child of more than a hundred catties, and also showed a look of love. His heart gave Zhizhen a special grade of Jōnin that was extremely correct.

After being happy for a while, Zhizhen asked, "Master Hokage, are there any other rewards?"

Third Generation didn’t get annoyed when he heard the words, and asked, "What else do you want?"

"A new technique!" Happy to joy, Zhizhen is not fainted either. What needs to be done is to work hard, and the improvement of strength can't be left behind.

"I am now a master of the unburnt technique, and the fire dragon fire ball is also very good, so don't you think?" Zhizhen looked at Third Generation expectantly.

"Oh? That's not bad." Third Generation praised, Zhizhen was delighted when he heard that, and Xindao was about to get a new technique!

However, the next sentence of Third Generation made Zhizhen unable to laugh.

"What about Earth Style?"

"Uh." Zhizhen suddenly lost his speech and said helplessly: "No progress."

"Then practice your Earth Style. It's rare that you now have two Chakra attributes. If you don't use them well, it's a waste." Third Generation said with a smile.

Zhizhen was speechless, and Third Generation had said so, so he couldn't force it.

But fortunately, this time the fate was not in vain. At any rate, I got a special Jōnin level, which is not bad. At least it saves the trouble of exams.

Zhizhen puts the ninja testimony in Kabuto, healed his thoughts, and was about to start talking about business.

"My lord, I have something serious to report!" Zhizhen said in an irritating tone.

"On business?" Third Generation didn't pay attention to Zhizhen's intentions, and still smiled and asked, "What business?"

"About Akatsuki!"

Hearing this, Third Generation gradually reduced his smile, got serious, and asked, "What do you know?"

After hearing this, Zhizhen looked at Third Generation and said: "It's a big matter, and I ask the adults to take measures to keep it secret."

Third Generation nodded when he heard this. He believed that Zhizhen would not make a joke about it, so he said without hesitation: "Then, Zaemon, Uemon, you should avoid it first."

Zaemon and Uemon nodded and said yes. Although they were curious about how Shima would know Akatsuki, they were both faithful to Third Generation and would not violate Third Generation's orders.

They won’t ask about things that shouldn’t be asked.

"Then Shima-sama, Uemon and I are waiting for you at the door." Zaemon said.

"Well, trouble you guys." Zhizhen nodded.

After that, Zhizhen was ready to start talking, but Third Generation continued: "Set a barrier."

"Yes." Several voices sounded at the same time, and then a faint white light suddenly flashed in Third Generation's office.

His office has been wrapped in a barrier, blocking all information from the outside world.

"Okay, you can start talking. Zhizhen." Third Generation said intently.

Zhizhen nodded his head sensibly, and told Third Generation about him and Itachi in Nami country.
