What Tsunade did not see, however, was the look of contemplation flickering in the eyes of the departing Nara Dan.

As expected. The Life Magnetic Field can also be applied to the field of genjutsu.

It can influence other human emotions.

And fear is merely one of them.

Indeed, my application of the Life Magnetic Field cannot remain so crude.

Nara Dan was naturally aware of whether Tsunade was truly drunk or merely feigning it; under the perception of his Life Energy, everything was laid bare.

Clearly, the incident just now was no accident.

It was something Nara Dan had guided with his Life Magnetic Field.

The so-called thunder and dew are all the grace of the sovereign.

As long as I am powerful enough, I can easily influence the emotions of inferior beings.

I can even influence the changes in the natural world through those emotions.

In legends, when Zeus was enraged, the world was filled with wild thunder.

When God was enraged, mountains collapsed and tsunamis rose, drowning everything and forming the Great Flood that destroyed the world.

A trace of ambition flashed in Nara Dan's eyes.

Sooner or later, he would reach that very realm.

Although so many thoughts raced through Nara Dan's mind, it all happened in a mere instant.

Immediately, the voice of the Third sounded from within.

"Is that you, Dan? Come in quickly."

Nara Dan walked through the door, and the familiar scent of tobacco rushed to meet him.

But unlike in the past, He had now achieved God-Seeing Indestructibility, having gathered and constrained every single one of his cells.

The impurities in the air could not penetrate his body by even a fraction.

"Lord Third."

Nara Dan asked, "I wonder why you have summoned me?"

The Third took out a document and said, "Your promotion to Jonin has been approved."

"From this moment on, you are a officially registered Jonin of Konoha."

Nara Dan took the document with a relaxed expression, not at all surprised.

No matter how slow Konoha's procedures were, they could not delay the approval of a Jonin.

His eyes swept over it lightly, and he noticed that the document did not state the originally intended Special Jonin, But rather a full Jonin.

Nara Dan gave the Third a meaningful look, though he did not expose the old fox's little trick.

He knew this was the Third's remedial measure, as Nara Dan had relied on the Eight Inner Gates to improve, which had nothing to do with the Third.

This was a measure taken to prevent Nara Dan from harboring resentment.

It must be said that the scale of this remedy was quite significant.

One must know that although a Special Jonin is also a Jonin, there is still a considerable distance between them and a full Jonin.

Most intuitively, beyond the difference in benefits, only ninjas of full Jonin rank or higher were eligible to participate in the village's Jonin Council.

In contrast, a Special Jonin merely received a slightly higher allowance than Genin or Chunin.

Only a full Jonin could enter the political core and even the decision-making layer of Konoha.

On the other hand, many positions of real power could only be held by full Jonin.

For example, the head of the Anbu, the head of the Military Police Force, the head of the Medical Department, and so on.

Even the position of battlefield commander.

Wait.

Nara Dan looked at the Third, deep in thought, seemingly realizing what he was planning.

Sure enough, the Third asked, "First of all, congratulations on your promotion to Jonin."

"And likewise, congratulations to you."

"For breaking through your Taijutsu to a brand new realm."

The Third looked at Nara Dan's vibrant, life-filled body and could not help but sigh in admiration.

"The human body is truly a marvelous thing."

Nara Dan smiled noncommittally.

"It is all thanks to the cultivation of the Third."

If not for your 'cultivation', I would have reached this realm long ago.

Nara Dan secretly grumbled to himself.

Although the Third did not hear Nara Dan's inner thoughts, he knew that Nara Dan harbored some level of dissatisfaction.

"I hear you have been getting along well with Kakashi and the others?"

"It is good to be young."

"Unlike me, I am already old."

As he spoke, the Third rubbed his aching lower back, his aged face showing signs of fatigue.

This was not just polite talk; at his age, the decline in physical condition was felt with particular clarity.

"In that case—"

"Does the Third have a suitable candidate in mind?"

"For the next Hokage, that is."

Nara Dan dropped the bombshell without hesitation.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Hearing this, the Third was immediately sent into a coughing fit by his tobacco.

The Third had not expected Nara Dan to be so blunt; he had merely been making small talk.

But looking at Nara Dan's innocent expression and recalling his "naive" nature, solely focused on his cultivation, he found it somewhat understandable.

"I would very much like to retire as well."

"But the current situation is dire; I cannot leave the next generation to clean up this mess."

The Third was a seasoned politician, easily steering the conversation back to the main topic.

"For this war, I intend to appoint you as the commander of the Land of Wind front."

"Dan, tell me the truth."

"After stepping into this new realm."

"What level has your strength reached now?"

Although Konoha's high-level combat power usually far exceeded that of any single great ninja village, this war involved being besieged from multiple sides.

Every potential high-level combatant was a decisive factor in the outcome of the war.

The Third had to be this cautious, even going so far as to directly ask about the progress of Nara Dan's cultivation.

Nara Dan pondered for a moment, carefully choosing his words.

"If we use the White Fang as a benchmark,"

"I am confident I can achieve what the White Fang did on the Land of Wind battlefield,"

"Perhaps even better."

The Third's expression relaxed upon hearing this; that was good.

Back then, the White Fang had practically carved a path through the entire Land of Wind battlefield; those flashy puppets were nearly defenseless against his high-precision Kenjutsu and Lightning Release.

This was not just a matter of raw strength, but also of elemental counters between ninjas.

Just as the demigod Hanzo could do nothing against the Sand Ninja on the battlefield, his pride and joy, the Salamander's poison, was neutralized by Chiyo in mere minutes.

Yet, before the White Fang, those seemingly sturdy puppets were nothing more than things to be severed in a single strike, and the slow, limited Taijutsu of the puppeteers made them look like lambs to the slaughter.

But as for who would win between Hanzo and the White Fang?

No one could say for sure; they would have to fight to find out.

However, at this level, one possesses immense stamina, numerous trump cards, and very few obvious weaknesses.

Unless there is a severe elemental disadvantage, most cannot do much to the other.

And as Chiyo and Ebizo had noted, Nara Dan was actually on the same path as the White Fang.

High burst, high mobility, but Nara Dan even possessed high defense, making him even more troublesome on the battlefield than the White Fang.

In truth, having entered the God-Seeing Realm, Nara Dan might not match the chakra reserves of those "cheaters" who could reincarnate via chakra.

But with his essence, energy, and spirit unified, his quality was in no way inferior—in fact, it was even superior.

Saying he was "no less than the White Fang" was merely a conservative statement to appease the Third.

If he were to tell the truth—I could crush you right now without any trouble—how would that make the Third feel?!

In reality, for the current Nara Dan, dealing with ordinary Kage Level powerhouses, even in multiples, was merely a matter of cost and time.

It's on the recommendation list, and it passed the PK promotion!
