Chapter 51

Hokage's Office.

Hiruzen stared thoughtfully at the two cards on the table.

One of them is large and displays the entire mainland, and the other is smaller and displays the land of Grass, along with a small part of the country of Fire on the border.

"Lord Hokage."

Erase entered the office of Hokage.

Hiruzen looked up from the map and looked at Yeruashi: "It looks like you've returned safely, do you have anything to report on the situation in the Grass Country?"

Erase calmly replied: "We encountered a large group of Willow shinobi in the city Of shimotsuki in the Grass Country. The number of the group is at least one hundred people, because of the too large number, it was not possible to conduct a more thorough reconnaissance, the specific goal of the enemy is unknown. "

"This was the advance party of Iwagakure."

Hiruzen was not surprised, the Konoha scouts had already passed this information.

He looked at Erase and he said relieved: "You did a great job and made the right decision by refusing to investigate the situation further. Young shinobi often suffer from excessive carelessness and even lose their lives...."

Speaking of Kakashi and Yeruashi, given this amazing talent, there is no great need to worry about the growth of their strength, most of all you need to worry about their ability to assess the situation and their own strength.

It is extremely difficult to keep track of a huge group consisting of more than a hundred shinobi, because among them there is definitely a considerable number of sensors. A hasty attempt to investigate will inevitably lead to a dangerous situation.

Once surrounded by so many shinobi, not to mention Yeruashi, even his students, Orochimaru or Jiraiya, will find themselves in a very difficult situation.

"...."

Yeruashi knew in advance that the Hokage probably already knows about such a large-scale movement from Iwagakure, and was not surprised by the answer, but realizing that Hiruzen does not seem interested in his mission at all and is not going to ask any questions, Yeruashi thought a little and decided not to raise this topic.

Thinking that Yeruashi's strength has already reached the level of an elite Chuunin, in addition to specializing in speed and being Orochimaru's disciple, Hiruzen nodded and said: "Now you must have some understanding of the area of the Country of Grass, go with Orochimaru to take care of the advanced forces Iwagakure."

Of course, he could not respond to the invasion vanguard Willows in the Country of Grass, yet no news of the invasion of the Fire nation, but sooner or later it will happen, so you need to react to receiving the worst news.

If yeruashi returned a bit later, he would have been included in the subsequent support forces, but since He returned just in time, it would be more appropriate to send him along with Orochimaru.

"This is..."

Erase sighed and said: "Lord Hokage, there is a situation I need to inform you about..."

he briefly described Maito Dai's situation.

Hiruzen was very surprised, suddenly there is a Genin who, by training just one technique, was able to reach the level of a Jounin.

There was no point in yeruashi lying about such things, and he shouldn't have made a big mistake in his assessment of strength, which meant that there was a Genin whose talent hadn't been discovered for many years.

Although in terms of mentality and experience, Dai most likely does not match the level of a Jounin, which will not allow him to become a team leader, but such power is quite valuable in itself!

in any village, the number of Jounins is very small compared to the total number of shinobi, each of them is an elite and forms the backbone of the village.

Kakashi.

He graduated from the Academy at the age of five, advanced to Chuunin at six, but by the age of nine, he still hadn't advanced to Jounin level, and by Minato's estimation, it wouldn't happen any time soon.

Erase even more outstanding genius than Kakashi, but also still not reached the level of Jounin.

"Okay, I understand, ask him to come to my

place."

He was going to chat and carefully evaluate Maito Dai to place it in the best possible way.

"There is."

Erase nodded and left the Hokage's office.

When Erase went down to the Department issuing the missions on the spot Hanbo was already seated Jounin and carefully asked MiTo Daya.

Jounin looked at the descending Yeruashi in surprise, he had already learned from Maito Dai's words that Yeruashi had killed Jounin Iwagakure!

There

is a huge gap between Junin and Chuunin! there are a

huge number of chuunins In each village, usually even more Than Genins, because most Genins are able to reach the level of Chuunin by adulthood.

But out of ten Chuunins, rarely even one can advance to the next rank, but even then, it won't be a Jounin, but a Tokubestu Jounin!

ten-Year-old Yeruashi defeated a Jounin....he would never have believed it if the scroll had not sealed the head of this Jounin as proof ...

it is Necessary to know!

That the youngest shinobi of their village, who had advanced to the rank of Jounin, was fourteen years old! This fourteen-year-old Jounin was called...

...Orochimaru!

Despite all the evidence, Jounin still asked the question of Erase: "Did you really kill Jounin progress of the mission in the Grass Country?"

"..."

Erase sullenly looked at MiTo Daya.

Dai grabbed his hair and said helplessly: "I'm sorry, I'm not very good in such conversations and could not take on your services..."

Erase helplessly shrugged his shoulders and said: "Yes, I killed Jounin."

as he expected, Dai is too honest, he didn't take the credit for it even if it was discussed earlier.

But there's nothing wrong with that.

You just have to be even more careful.

Now, even if he is targeted by a Kage-level shinobi, although victory is impossible, but there should still be an opportunity to escape, in the current world of shinobi, there are already not many people who can take the life of Yeruashi.

By taking most of the merits from this mission, Maito Dai would be able to smoothly advance to Tokubetsu Jounin in accordance with all the rules, but even without these merits, given only personal strength, Hiruzen is able to arrange for him to advance to Tokubetsu Jounin in the shortest possible time.

It just might cause some misunderstanding and criticism from the village.

As for joining the ANBU...this is simply not possible.

Maito Dai's personality and mentality are absolutely not suitable for ANBU, Hiruzen definitely won't make that decision.

Phew...

Hearing the confirmation from the mouth of Erase, Jounin took a deep breath and showed a delighted look.

At this point, his eyes of Erase does not differ from the young White Fang of Konoha!
