Chapter 65
Even without being present, they could sense the danger of this situation. Everyone present was well aware of what such an elite squad was like.
Especially Danzo.
Currently, he managed to "grow" for the Root no more than sixty elite shinobi, and many continue to grow and still can not be considered an elite, that is, right now, his Root can only put up two such units.
Of all the Konoha clans, only the Uchiha and Hyuga clans can handle this, the other clans are not able to resist such a force.
Even.
Not to mention these clans, even if you take the average small village of the shinobi world, gathering all their strength, it probably won't be able to form such an elite squad.
"..."
Hiruzen frowned.
In this situation, I'm afraid they had to rely on Maito Dai's full strength to reverse the situation. After using the eight Gate release Array, the death of the Eight Gate user is inevitable, losing so special a shinobi and a total of a dozen shinobi, in exchange for destroying half of Willow's forces...although it can still be considered a victory, but no more.
"The ambush of an elite squad of Willow put our party in a very difficult position, the number of victims quickly grew, but at a critical moment of Hatake Erase used some homemade taboo litonjua, and killed at least thirty shinobi Iwagakure, which included how Chuunin and Jonny that led to the destruction of the idea Iwagakure..."
When Hiruzen read it, other sounds gradually disappeared.
The room was completely silent.
Even Jiraiya, who usually acts flippant, showed a dazed look.
The always calm Danzo slowly turned his head and looked at hiruzen questioningly, doubting His words.
" ... "
at this moment, Hiruzen himself was also stunned, he didn't even continue reading any further, but just ran his eyes over the scroll and read the final battle statistics indicated at the very end.
Thirty-three!
This is the number of shinobi killed by Yeruashi!
including more than ten Jounins, including Honku and Dontu, two Elite Iwagakure Jounins who have a certain fame in the world of shinobi!
in silence.
Hiruzen slowly lowered the hand holding the scroll and looked at ANBU:".... is this information definitely coming from the front?
"
: "The scroll was delivered by the contract beast Orochimaru."
in that case, it shouldn't be a fake.
Hiruzen took a deep breath, Orochimaru uses the serpent of The Ryuichi Cave, this call is quite rare and not so easy to fake, in addition, there is no point in spending so much effort to send such misinformation.
It's not that Maito Dai opened the eighth gate and changed the situation, but a ten-year-old teenager Yeruashi used some forbidden technique and completely turned the tide of the battle!
Amazing!
Incredible!
"... this is the son of White Fang. "
Uchiha Fugaku took a deep breath, folded his arms, and slowly said in silence.
He had some impression of Yeruashi, after all, this is a young shinobi who has been talked about a lot lately and called a genius, but it is nothing more than a simple impression.
The Uchiha clan has never lacked for geniuses.
A young teenager, even if he holds the title of unsurpassed genius, does not deserve attention from the head of the Uchiha clan.
But now everything is different.
If the information received is true, then the Hatake Erase no longer young genius, who has yet to grow and grow, and a skilled shinobi, who has the right to inherit the title of the White Fang of Konoha!
Even the Uchiha clan can not ignore the shinobi possessing such power.
"...incredible, wasn't he a teenager?"
The Hyuga Hiashi sitting next to Fugaku, sighed, and shocked asked.
Your own forbidden ninjutsu!
Killed thirty-three elite shinobi Willow, twelve of which Jonny!
Even if the report has some superficial innuendo about what sort of distraction and assistance from the other shinobi of Konoha, and these thirty-three shinobi were killed not only by the force of Erase, it's still awesome!
Similar enough to glorify any shinobi, the White Fang of Konoha was shocked by the whole shinobi world is about the same achievements!
And how many years of Erwache!
Danzo turned away from Hiruzen, a deep light flashing in the depths of his eyes.
Unexpected!
Too unexpected!
Who would have thought that Erase show such strength at the age of less than eleven years?! If he knew about this earlier, he would have used the toughest and most decisive methods to take it to the Root!
If you properly grow such a shinobi, it will become an extremely strong and convenient tool, a trump card, relying on which you can do many things!
unfortunately...
in the heart of Danzo appeared regret.
Previously not paying enough attention to Erase, Danzo allowed this guy to escape from their hands, and even become the apprentice of Orochimaru.
If he had acted decisively and taken some tough measures, it wouldn't have been so difficult to force Hiruzen to send Yeruashi to the Root, but it's too late now.
"Orochimaru will be difficult to deal with, but I can use Hiruzen to solve this problem after the war..."
Danzo closed his eyes, hiding his emotions from others, and fell into a reverie.
Hiruzen was also thinking.
Soon he raised his head and looked at shinobi ANBU: "Pass on my instructions. To raise the rank of Hatake Erase to Tokubetsu Jounin reporting directly to Orochimaru."
Yeruashi's merits and strength are undoubtedly in line with the rank of a Jounin, but a Jounin must be a good commander and leader, able to assess the situation correctly and give the right orders.
About these qualities of Erase while it is difficult to judge.
In this situation, the best choice is to promote him to Tokubestu Junin, who does not have his own team and reports directly to Orochimaru.
Shinobi ANBU nodded and left the room.
Hiruzen looked at Jiraiya and the clan leaders who were still in a state of shock, paused for a moment, and said:
Hearing Hiruzen's words, the clan leaders, Jiraiya and the rest of the Elite Jounins looked at each other, took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in their hearts, and continued to discuss the issue of forming a front-line force to deal with Suna's full-scale offensive.
