A gift before the war!

Konoha Village, Hokage's Office.

  Shuichi Hoshita reported to Sarutobi Hiruzen about the establishment of a secret experimental base with the Daimyo.

  In fact, this was also planned.

  On the surface, the secret experimental base was used by Shuichi Hoshita as a spy to steal the research results of the tailed beasts from Konoha and then use them on the Daimyo's people.

  However, whether it was successful or not, and whether the people involved in the experiment finally obeyed the Daimyo's orders, was under the control of Shuichi Hoshita. Sarutobi

  Hiruzen certainly knew about this.

  But as a subordinate, Shuichi Hoshita should report what he should report in time.

  Sarutobi Hiruzen just nodded to show that he knew, and he was very relieved to leave this matter to Shuichi Hoshita.

  Then Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "Shuichi, the news that you have become a jonin has been announced, and you will go to collect the equipment belonging to the jonin later!"

  Shuichi Hoshita nodded: "Yes, Hokage!"

  ...

  After leaving the Hokage's office, all the staff members they met greeted Shuichi Hoshita or saluted with a smile, and their attitude was different from the past.

  After leaving the Hokage Building, Shuichi Hoshita saw four figures looking at him with smiles.

  "Shuiichi!"

  Chihiro waved and shouted.

  It was Sarutobi Shinnosuke, Chihiro, Nara Satoshi, and Yamanaka Shinichi. No wonder I didn't see Sarutobi Shinnosuke in the Hokage Building just now.

  Shuichi Hoshita stepped forward quickly.

  "Shuiichi, congratulations on becoming the youngest person in Konoha's history to be promoted to Jonin!"

  Nara Satoshi said with a smile. Yamanaka

  Shinichi: "Well, it's rare that you are all free today, let's celebrate together!"

  Sarutobi Shinnosuke continued: "Today, the four of us are treating you, Shuichi, you can eat as much as you want!"

  Shuichi Hoshita immediately said viciously: "Then you can't be polite today, you must empty your wallets!"

  Chihiro and others immediately laughed.

  At the same time, in Orochimaru's experimental base.

  Danzo, who had returned from the Land of Rain, looked at Orochimaru who was busy and leisurely, and said, "The war with Sand Village and Mist Village is inevitable. The commander of the joint forces of Sand Village and Mist Village will be Koharu, but I have already discussed with her that you will be the one to lead the troops."

  "As long as you can win this war, then the position of the next generation of Hokage will be supported by me, Yan, and Koharu, so there will be no surprises!"

  Orochimaru smiled and said, "Thank you, Danzo!"

  "But it may take a long time for the third generation to abdicate."

  Danzo said in a deep voice, "You don't have to worry about this."

  "With Hiruzen's current cowardly policy, he will make mistakes sooner or later."

  Orochimaru nodded and said no more.

  Of course, he knew that Danzo had great ambitions to help him take the position, but he was also confident that he would not be controlled by him after becoming Hokage.

  However, people are sometimes blindly confident!

  Orochimaru chuckled to himself.

  At this time, Danzo asked, "How is the research on the tailed beasts going?"

  "Can we conduct human experiments now?"

  Orochimaru looked up and said, "Can't Danzo wait?"

  "The power of the tailed beasts is not inferior to Hashirama's cells."

  Danzo said in a deep voice, "The war is about to break out, and this is the time when we need combat power the most."

  "Besides, since Shuichi Hoshita can do it, then others can do it too."

  "If it comes to willpower, the ninja from the Root will probably be better than Shuichi Hoshita, right?"

  Orochimaru didn't think so.

  If the ninja from the Root can be compared with Shuichi Hoshita, then it would not be Shuichi Hoshita who became a jonin before the age of 12, but a ninja from the Root.

  However...

  Orochimaru thought about it and nodded, "You can select two people first. The flesh and blood of the four tails that have been cultivated is enough." Danzo

  nodded with satisfaction, "I will let them go tomorrow."

  ...

  After the dinner with Sarutobi Shinnosuke and others, Shuichi Hoshita walked towards the Konoha Hospital, but as soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by Might Guy who suddenly appeared.

  "Shuichi, come with me!"

  "Eh? What's up?"

  Shuichi Hoshita was pulled to a place by Might Guy for no apparent reason.

  Bang!

  Streamers fell from the top of his head, and then Shizune, Kurenai Yuhi, Rin Nohara, Kakashi, Obito Uchiha, Ebisu, Genma Shiranui and others appeared one after another.

  "Shuichi, congratulations on becoming a jonin!"     Shizune handed over a bouquet of flowers.

  Shuichi Hoshita took it and smiled at everyone: "Thank you, everyone, it's a great surprise!"

  Ebisu, who was wearing sunglasses, said: "Shuichi, you are the first among our peers to become a jonin, and no one should be able to break your age record!"

  Shuichi Hoshita looked at Kakashi and smiled: "Kakashi still has a chance."

  Kakashi is younger than him!

  Moreover, he is less than a month away from turning 12.

  Kakashi shook his head and said: "The workload of jonin is too high, and it is difficult to complete in a short time."

  Yuhi Kurenai smiled and said: "Anyway, it's only a matter of time for you to become a jonin, Kakashi."

  "But let's celebrate Shuichi today. Here, Shuichi, this is my gift!"

  Shuichi Hoshita quickly took it: "Thank you!"

  Others also gave gifts.

  Shuichi Hoshita took it and opened it on the spot, thanking them one by one.

  Nohara Rin's homemade medical kit, Kakashi's Lightning Release experience, Ebisu's sunglasses, Shiranui Genma's special Senbon, Yamashiro Aoba's homemade crow feed, Uchiha Obito's goggles are the same as his own...

  The most outrageous thing is that Might Guy is wearing the same green tights as himself.

  And Shizune's is a specially customized silk scarf with a white background and a gold-rimmed fire lotus pattern. Hoshita Shuichi directly asked Shizune to tie it on him.

  "It's rare that so many people are gathered together, let's have dinner together tonight!"

  "For now, how about finding a snack bar first?"

  Hoshita Shuichi suggested with a smile. Yuhi

  Kurenai was the first to agree, and the others had no objections, so a group of people moved to a snack bar and ate and talked.

  Unconsciously, they talked about Sarutobi Asuma who didn't show up first.

  Kurenai Yuhi said with a little worry: "Asuma is still in the daimyo's mansion."

  Shizune immediately comforted: "It should be safer if he is with the daimyo!"

  Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said: "Don't worry, Kurenai, Asuma's ability is not bad at all."

  "Besides, he will return to the village sooner or later."

  Kurenai Yuhi nodded.

  The topic shifted and unconsciously talked about the ongoing sandstone and sand fog war.

  Uchiha Obito and others who were talking about it, almost didn't realize that the pace of war was approaching them rapidly.

  ...

  After the dinner in the evening, after sending Shizune home, Shuichi Hoshita came to the experimental base.

  Tsunade was still busy here. When Shuichi Hoshita appeared, she raised her head slightly and said: "Congratulations, you have become a jonin!"

  "You are the first jonin under the age of 12!"

  Shuichi Hoshita walked to Tsunade and stretched out his right hand.

  Tsunade looked up at him in confusion.

  Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said, "Since we are congratulating you, shouldn't we prepare gifts?"

  "Shizune and the others have prepared gifts."

  Tsunade turned around, looked at Hoshita Shuichi seriously, and asked, "Is the war going to start?"

  Hoshita Shuichi nodded, "Yes, the Sand Village and the Mist Village have formed an alliance, and the next step is to attack us."

  "Once the war starts, the Rock Ninja and the Cloud Ninja may also get involved."

  Tsunade was silent for a moment, then untied the necklace around her neck and put it on Hoshita Shuichi: "This is what my grandfather left me... kid, don't die in the war!"

  "A dead genius is useless!"

  Hoshita Shuichi was stunned.

  This necklace... I'm a little scared, what should I do?

  Tsunade has been busy.

  Hoshita Shuichi looked at her profile, then smiled and said, "Don't forget, I have mastered the Flying Thunder God."

  Tsunade said without raising her head, "Second Grandfather also has this technique!" Hoshita

  Shuichi was speechless for a moment.

  Qi Kexiu, do you have to be so stubborn!

  Tsunade continued: "Anything can happen on the battlefield."

  "Don't be impulsive, don't be careless, at any time!"

  "Don't think that your strength is enough to dominate, you must have awe of war."

  Xingxia Shuichi became serious and nodded: "Tsunade, don't worry, I will come back safely, after all, our research is not over yet!"
