Konoha: Start with omniscience and omnipotence

Chapter 58 [058] Promotion, Winning and Testing

"Special Jonin, Masaki Aida."

Not long after he returned home from the underground laboratory, Aida Masaki heard an ANBU knocking politely on the glass outside the window.

"Sandaime-sama summoned."

"yes."

He agreed, having some general assumptions about Sarutobi Hiruzen's purpose.

When Aida Masaki arrived at the Hokage's office, he saw the Sandaime sitting on the small sofa next to his desk, making him a cup of tea.

Hot steam rises from the water.

"Third generation sir."

Aida Masaki's attitude in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen was always cautious and respectful, just like most Konoha ninjas did when they saw him.

"It's Jiang Hui, he came so quickly."

Like the most ordinary old man next door, Sarutobi Hiruzen noticed Aida pushing Hui open the door and happily greeted him to come over for tea: "Come, try the dog I got from the land of tea last month."

Dodder tea. This is a tribute from the country of tea, and this is all I have."

"yes."

Aida Masaki nodded and also smiled to accommodate.

The Sandaime was obviously well versed in dealing with people, and the two of them chatted for a while before gradually turning the topic to the main topic.

"First of all, congratulations to you."

"Aida-kun."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and pushed an envelope from the table to Aida Masaki: "You should be only fifteen this year, right?"

"Yes, Third Generation-sama."

"It's been almost six years since I graduated."

Aida Masaki took the envelope, but did not open it immediately: "I wonder what's inside this...?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen always had that kind and kind smile on his face:

"Congratulations, Aida-kun."

"From today on, you are a Jounin of Konoha."

"There are really a lot of geniuses in the village these years, whether it's Minato, Shinya, or you."

"In addition, what surprises me even more is your recommender for Jonin promotion."

After hearing this, Aida Masaki opened the envelope.

[Hereby recommends Aida Masaki for promotion]

【Hatake Sakumo, Uchiha Takashi, Orochimaru】

Seeing the first two people, Aida Masaki had no reaction, but when he saw Orochimaru's name, his brows couldn't help but jump.

Sakumo and Takashi were willing to recommend him to the position because of their friendship and interests respectively.

But Orochimaru

Thinking of the unwavering look on his face when he left a few days ago, Aida Masaki didn't understand what he was thinking.

It is different from the assessment when genin is promoted to chunin.

Jounin and special jounin are the high-end combat power in the village, and the strength of most jonin can barely surpass the latter.

If you really want to say that there is such an insurmountable natural chasm, it really doesn't go beyond this.

However, the two represent a leap in 'identity' level - because if you want to become a jounin, you need other jounin as a guarantee. In serious cases, you may even need to replace those who fail to complete the task.

The elected person wipes his butt.

It is equivalent to a joint responsibility system.

Therefore, this level itself represents a person's connections, identity and abilities.

"That boy Orochimaru seems to value you very much."

"However, I was mistaken."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a sip of tea and said with a wry smile: "Originally, I thought, Shohui-kun, that you only have unique talents in the field of research. I didn't expect that you also have a different kind of talent in the mastery of ninjutsu.

"

"In the past few days, the news has almost gone crazy outside the village."

"Konoha's hidden trump card, the rising star of taijutsu, Aida Masaki, etc. Haha."

Hearing this, Aida Masaki showed just the right amount of shyness belonging to a young man, and said sheepishly: "Third generation sir, I have just developed it. After staying in the village for a few months, I am actually still

Used in actual combat for the first time”

"Haha, I understand, I understand."

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care about his subordinates' little secrets:

"However, your skills have spread to the outside world. Recently, several patrons have even asked you to take charge of tasks. Besides, after becoming a Jonin, the village should no longer trap you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone was so gentle that others might not hear any threat or intimidation at all. His voice was so calm that it was quiet.

"How is it? Mr. Jiang Hui."

"Are you interested in becoming a direct ANBU?"

"In that case, it should be able to help you avoid a lot of tasks that are inconvenient for you to travel far away."

This is already Sarutobi Hiruzen's second invitation.

Become a lackey of the Hokage family, or refuse.

However, unlike the first time, which was only because of the "Tianzhi Zhenxing" jutsu, this time Aida Masaki represents something more - a jounin-level combat ability that surpasses the sealing ability of most sealing class members.

, imaginative research talent, and business ability.

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't even care about using this slightly obscene method of coercion.

You know, Aida Masaki is now carrying a bounty of at least 60 million taels. Who knows how long he can survive after leaving the village?

He must be left in our hands.

However, in the next second, Aida Masaki suddenly raised his head, his eyes seemed to light up like a torch:

"Sandaime-sama!"

"As a ninja of Konoha, I have long felt very guilty for not being able to contribute to the village for so long!"

"Please be sure to let me continue to participate in team missions!"

"As for matters directly under ANBU, please don't mention it again. If I remember correctly, there should be an article in the ninja manual that ANBU cannot do business, right?"

As he said that, Aida Masaki scratched his face in embarrassment: "Actually, I am still a little short of money due to a lot of research."

"Hmm"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was startled when he heard this and almost forgot the rules he had set.

He just calmed down and looked at the cheerful, sunny boy in front of him with a gentle smile - he seemed completely unaware of the malice and threat in his words just now.

It seems that I only understood the literal meaning.

How sincere?!

This contrast inexplicably made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel a slight sense of uneasiness and guilt in his heart.

This child is just like Jiraiya back then.

Innocent and romantic.

Completely careless.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that few people who are interested in research can guess the tenor of other people's words.

"If that's the case, then that's it!"

In the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and completely gave up on the child in front of him.

Relatively speaking, Minato's child is indeed more mature in mind!

A naive fool will not survive long in this ninja world.

Thinking of this, as if thinking of his original intention, Sarutobi Hiruzen let out a long sigh.

"well"

Aida Masaki always had that gentle and warm smile, and seemed completely unaware of the twists and turns in his words just now.

There was a sarcastic light in his eyes.

After that, Sarutobi Hiruzen actually proposed to order lunch ingredients from Aida Co., Ltd. and supply the first batch to the ninja school.

Because it was a business matter and approved by the Ministry of Finance, Sarutobi Hiruzen took out 8 million taels in one go as the first installment.

Originally, Masaki Aida wanted to include the on-campus physical examination in order to obtain data on the growth of physical functions.

As a result, they learned that this matter was within the functional supervision scope of Konoha Hospital.

Obviously, the third generation still maintained a high degree of defensiveness against him and did not relax easily.

"By the way, Third Generation-sama."

"Um?"

Before leaving, Aida Masaki seemed to have remembered something, turned his head and asked: "How much is the quota for death row prisoners this year? An experiment I conducted may require more preparation."

"Human experiments?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and thought for a while: "The number of death row prisoners is limited every year."

"However, there are quite a few abandoned experimental bodies."

"I wonder, Mr. Jianghui, what kind of experiment are you doing? You have to submit a written application before you can receive the materials. I won't go easy on you."

Aida Masaki smiled kindly: "It's a human puppet."

"After fighting the Sunagakure ninja, I was thinking about whether I could create a human puppet with self-awareness and automatic fighting capabilities."

"oh?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen held his pipe in his mouth and was a little surprised: "There are already signs? Human puppets are one of Sunagakure's top secrets."

"Besides, maybe even Sunagakure doesn't have the type you're talking about, right?"

"ah?"

Aida Masaki said frankly: "Is it difficult? If it is just a theory, it should be considered very mature."

"What is needed now is just to complete the experiment on death row prisoners."

"hiss--"

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep drag on his pipe and stared intently at the child in front of him.

‘Jiang Hui-jun’s research ability seems to be stronger than I imagined’

And from the perspective of Aida Masaki.

【Project: Clever Girl】

[Progress: 100%]

[Completion: 47.2%]

Seeing the high level of completion brought to him by Sarutobi Hiruzen, Aida Masaki secretly took a breath in his heart.

You know, when he tested Bei Liuhu in the laboratory, he barely got a completion rate of [6.5%].

Unexpectedly, here at the Sandaime, it doubled seven times in one breath.

'This old man seems to be stronger than I thought?'

Similar thoughts flashed through their minds, but neither showed any strange expressions on the surface.

After the greetings, Aida Masaki left the office.

No matter what the outcome is, at least the stop order is completely lifted.
