104: Did I say I was leaving?

"Hokage Half Sleeves..."

Hiruzen and others were startled, not expecting that Jiri would make this request.

You must know that the Hokage Half Sleeve is of great significance. The holder of the Half Sleeve is equivalent to the next generation of Hokage's successor, and even has some rights of the Hokage. He can mobilize departments at all levels, including ANBU, without interfering with the Hokage.

"Does she want to be Hokage?"

Hiruzen judged Jiri's intention to ask for the Hokage's half-sleeve, and his thoughts were complicated.

Hashirama once said that Konoha owed Uchiha a Hokage, but Hiruzen did not think that there was a place for Uchiha in the Hokage, especially at the moment when the relationship between the Uchiha clan and Konoha was tense.

Tsunade is destined to be Hokage, but she is still young after all, and it will take several years before she succeeds as Hokage. However, Jiri is different. Her fame and strength have reached their peak now, and she can take office at any time once she is established.

"Why, can't you give it to me?"

Seeing Hiruzen's face looking troubled and thinking deeply, Jiri frowned in displeasure.

"If you don't give me the Hokage half-sleeve, who else can you give it to? Can't I, the Uchiha clan, be the Hokage?"

The coldness in his tone spread, and the air around him froze slightly.

Bei Liuhu was instantly panicked. He didn't understand why the good atmosphere suddenly became tense. He was afraid that Jiri would flip the table with the top management of Konoha in anger.

Hinata Rei's eyes flashed, and he secretly wanted to be a woman, so he must be as domineering as Mr. Juri! What a caged bird, get out of the way, my fate is up to me!

Watanabe sat aside and remained calm.

It's nothing, I'm not surprised anymore.

He knew Zhili very well and was used to her look of not taking anyone seriously.

Even the Daimyo of the Country of Whirlpool is treated as a younger brother by Jiri, so he can only kneel and stick his butt in front of her. Is there anyone else that she can't ignore?

"Jiri is serious." Hiruzen said with a slight smile, "Hokage is the Hokage of everyone in Konoha. As long as he is capable enough, even a civilian can be the Hokage."

"With your contribution and qualifications to Konoha, you are indeed enough to hold the Hokage Half Sleeve. I will make an announcement in the village about your holding the Hokage Half Sleeve in the next few days."

Hiruzen was forced to make concessions.

He knew that the Uchiha clan really wanted to have a Hokage, and now Jiri had just made great contributions to Konoha. If she insisted on asking for the Hokage's half sleeve, neither Hiruzen nor the senior officials in the village would be able to refuse, otherwise she would probably let Ben

The Uchiha clan members who were dissatisfied with Konoha directly rebelled.

Hiruzen didn't know that the reason why Juri asked for the Hokage half sleeve was not to become Hokage, she had no interest in Hokage.

She just wants to use the Hokage Half Sleeve as a bargaining chip. If her and Watanabe's deeds are exposed in the future, and Mito uses his power to force Watanabe to be removed from her team, she can use the Hokage Half Sleeve to refute Mito's integrity.

Zhili only cares about Watanabe. Everything she does now is for Watanabe. She doesn't allow anyone to let Watanabe leave her, not even Watanabe himself.

After finishing the topic of the Hokage Half Sleeve, Hiruzen did not treat the other three members of the Jiri team badly. He regarded their ambush by the ninjas of Amegakure Village as completing an S-level mission, registered it on their resume files, and paid for it to the village.

They give out S-level rewards.

In addition, Hiruzen also opened promotion channels for three people. Beiliuhu and Hyuga Zero can be promoted to chunin without taking the exam, and Watanabe is promoted to jounin.

"It's actually a Jonin!"

After hearing about Watanabe's promotion level from Hiruzen, Beiliuhu and Hyuga Zero were shocked.

The Jonin is the top-level combat force in the village, and can already lead the new students to perform tasks like Jiri.

The three of them graduated from the ninja school at the same time. Beilihu and Hinata Rei did not expect that only two months had passed, and Watanabe would leave them far behind. The gap between the two sides was really big.

"Thank you, Hokage-senpai, for the promotion." Watanabe said politely.

For Tsunade's sake, he will definitely enter the top ranks of Konoha in the future. Hiruzen directly promoted him to jounin today, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"This is the treatment you deserve." Hiruzen smiled kindly, "Mito-sama told me roughly what happened that night. You played a vital role in the reason why Jiri was able to defeat Sansho Hanzo. You

Today's combat power may even reach the level of elite jounin. If you are still regarded as a genin or chuunin, then Konoha is burying its talents."

Watanabe was very smart. After hearing this, he immediately understood that the person who really promoted him was Mito, and Mito greeted him.

"Now it seems that I made the right decision by confiscating you as my disciple." Hiruzen continued to smile kindly, "If you became my disciple, you would definitely not progress as fast as you do now."

It was okay that Hiruzen didn't mention the matter of accepting a disciple, but he became resentful when he mentioned Watanabe.

If Hiruzen had accepted him that day, he would have sweetly cultivated with Tsunade and wouldn't have been so entangled with Jiri. He didn't know how to face the two of them in the future.

Just when Watanabe was about to be polite to Hiruzen casually——

"Of course, you won't be able to teach me as well as Watanabe." Jiri interrupted abruptly, stating the facts calmly.

Watanabe: "..."

He has too many things to say, so you can touch your conscience and say, as a master, what are the things you teach me?

To be precise, I taught you many postures...

"Haha, maybe you, Chiri, are more suitable to be a teacher than me." Hiruzen's originally kind smile became a little more awkward, and he immediately changed the subject:

"By the way Watanabe, although you have been promoted to Jonin, your experience and qualifications are still shallow. Next, you will continue to perform tasks in the same team with Hinata Rei and Bei Ruhu. After you have gained experience, we will make other arrangements for you.

"

Watanabe had no objection: "Okay."

Hiruzen nodded: "In addition, I have already arranged a new guidance jounin for the three of you. He is serving in the Anbu. Although he is not as good as Jiri, he is also a very good elite jounin..."

"Did I say I was leaving?" Zhili interrupted.

Hiruzen was stunned for a moment, and it took him a moment to realize what she meant.

"The Uchiha clan has been waiting for you, Jiri, to come back and take over as clan leader some time ago." Hiruzen simply explained, "Among the younger generation of Uchiha, you are the only one who can convince the people, Jiri. I know you can no longer serve as Watanabe and the others.

Instruct the Jonin, you don’t need to tell me..."

"You don't have to worry about my affairs."

Jiri always looked cold and scornful, but this time he interrupted Hiruzen before he could finish his words.

"I can still lead Watanabe for a while. When the three of them are taught enough to stand alone, it won't be too late to take over as the clan leader."

As soon as these words came out, except for Watanabe who had been mentally prepared for it, everyone present looked surprised.
