On August 10, the results of the Jonin promotion discussion came out and all the candidates were approved!
Konoha added 12 Jonin in one breath, which is almost one-eighth of the existing Jonin.
If Jonin had been promoted on such a large scale before the war broke out, even Hokage wouldn't have been able to do so.
Of course Akaseki is among them, even in the published list----
"Recognized by 47 Jonins? Is this little brat from the Uchiha Clan so popular?"
"This can't be achieved by being popular, right? He has the most approval votes----"
"Could it be Uchiha Clan who threatened them?"
"How is it possible? Didn't you see not a single objection?"
"That might be due to strength, right?"
"He is Uchiha Clan. He can get the most votes like this. Doesn't that mean he is very popular?"
"Tsk, what you said seems to make sense——"
"What are the people over there saying?"
Genin from the police force gave a vicious warning to several villagers who were commenting sharply on the notice board - another day to protect the Konoha ethos.
Akaseki Looking at the results of the discussion, he felt satisfied.
But after thinking about it, it doesn't seem strange - I spend most of my time at Medical Unit----
Isn't it normal for me to be popular as someone who saves people everywhere?
Anyway, Jonin who was rescued here at Akaseki will definitely give Akaseki a vote of approval, plus Uchiha Clan's Jonin----
Hmm? Still not enough?
Akaseki thought about all the Jonin who had cooperated and rescued, plus ten votes from the Uchiha Clan and Tetsukura, but there were still not so many.
In this regard, Akaseki can only be summed up as----
"As expected of Jonin, his eyes are sharp!" Akaseki said with great appreciation.
Ranwu:----
Ranwu on the side rolled his eyes at him - if I had known he had so many votes, I wouldn't have told Third Uncle Fourth Uncle and the others----
"I'm afraid there will be a mission soon - we may not be in the same team by then." Minato guessed at this time.
"Well, you don't have to be discouraged. Jonin and Chunin are all contributing to the village!" Akaseki said with a big wave of his hand.
"If you use the ordinary Chunin to perform tasks, the fault tolerance will be much less. Don't be careless." Ranwu reminded.
After Akaseki is promoted to Jonin, there is a high probability that he will lead ordinary Chunin!
After all, the purpose of promoting Jonin is to improve his leadership skills, and - Ranwu and Minato are nominally Chunin, but everyone knows that their strength is overflowing!
If Akaseki was added before, forming a team of three would already be equivalent to having Jonin in the team by default----
Now that Akaseki is the real Jonin, he definitely needs to lead the "newcomer" - although there are not many Chunin who are younger than Akaseki, but in terms of ninja qualifications, he is the "newcomer".
"Indeed, Akaseki Jonin, from now on Chunin in the team will definitely rely on you more and be more reliable!" Minato also said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I don't know which Chunin is so lucky to come and teach me personally, hahaha----" Akaseki is still very satisfied.
Ranwu, Minato:----
"By the way - are there any rumors recently that Iwagakure is taking action?" Ranwu brought the topic back to the battlefield.
"That old turtle can really endure it!" Akaseki curled his lips.
"Iwagakure is nominally an alliance with us - we have to be cautious before collaborating, but that doesn't mean that after the collegial process is passed, we can reveal our true colors, right?" Ranwu complained at the side.
"Ahem, that Lord Tsuchikage is really cautious." Akaseki changed his words.
A year ago, Konoha, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure were basically determined to dismember Land of Rain, hang up the arrogant Hanzō and beat him----
Soon Sunagakure was the first to sit still - after all, in the previous ten years, Sunagakure had already been in "too few resources" 9
, "Go and grab the explosive troops from Land of Fire", "Fuck, there are not enough resources after the explosive troops", "Why is Konoha so strong? Let's get more explosive troops" - a vicious cycle.
Now it seems I can no longer hold it back——
Konoha sits much more firmly than Sunagakure, but because Kagami Uchiha died, the third generation started the war earlier than expected. Firstly, Jing is also a close comrade of Sarutobi, and he also needs to vent his personal emotions; secondly - Uchiha Clan, Sarutobi needs to explain something.
"It's true to be cautious - we Konoha have been participating in the war for more than half a year, but Iwagakure has just joined the battle. Ranwu agreed at this time.

Even a little too sit-down!
Considering only its own interests, it is too late for Iwagakure to start the war.
If we send troops when Konoha, Sand Ninja, and Rain Ninja enter a stalemate period and become exhausted over time, Iwagakure should be able to sweep Land of Rain more easily.
The stalemate has been too long now, and everyone has recovered somewhat!
"Perhaps it's that Mr. Two Scales who is only good at carrying water, but not good at making decisions!" Akaseki said with some mockery - he is very scheming and decisive, not Hero!
Minato said, "Iwagakure was not completely idle before. He also had some conflicts with Kumogakure in the north, and Iwagakure was said to be making gas masks during this time - of course, I also feel that it was a little late for Mr. Ōnoki to take action."
O
Land of Earth, Land of Lightning, and Land of Water have been "enemies" for a long time. Judging from the Konoha version of the map, it seems that the three parties are not next to each other at all, but in fact, if you look at the other side of the planet, the sea routes between the three are not far away!
"But I didn't expect that Kumogakure turned out to be just pretending to be tough. In the end, he didn't even dare to fight Iwagakure, but gave up a lot of benefits." Akaseki said and shook his head - If he had known that Kumogakure was so coward, would it have been better for Konoha to fight him?
The battle in the north has already concluded.
Kumogakure actually gave in and even ceded mission rights to some small countries in the north.
"After all, they just encountered the coup of Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers, and Eight-Tails Rebellion, and now their vitality is severely damaged——" After Ranwu finished speaking, he immediately regretted it, and sure enough——
Akaseki became energetic when he heard this!
"Hey, I only made a small contribution to Tailed Beast's affairs. The main credit is due to captain Orochimaru." Akaseki immediately spoke "humbly".
"No one will misunderstand this at all----" Ranwu complained mercilessly.
"In short, since Iwagakure has participated in the war, I believe that this war will also come to an end for Land of Rain - for the civilians of Land of Rain, it can be considered a good thing." Minato said with emotion at this time.
Although Minato will not be bound by unnecessary emotions when fighting and making decisions, it does not mean that Minato is ruthless. On the contrary, Minato actually cares about these things, but it will not affect rational judgment.
The reason why Iwagakure can sit still is not only because of his strategic determination, but also because of geographical conditions.
From Land of Earth to the territory of Land of Rain, you are basically right in front of Lingering Rain Mountain, not even Rain River is blocking you.
As long as Iwagakure joins the battle, the progress, or the intensity of the battle with Amegakure, will immediately be the same as Konoha and Sunagakure.
Therefore, Minato judged that once Iwagakure joins the war, the battle of Lingering Rain Mountain will officially begin.
However, this time Akaseki rarely has a different view from Minato------
"It really would be that easy." Akaseki said with some worry in his tone.
Seeing Minato looking over in confusion, Akaseki said, "Although Amegakure has continued to suffer losses, the biggest reliance has not changed now - that is Hanzō's personal strength!
Previously, Land of Iron and Hanzō alone broke up Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Team 7---- and a certain Genin, and they didn't dare to fight at all.
Hanzō's so-called "defeats" so far are all due to changes in the battlefield, being led by the nose by the hidden villages----
In other words, Amegakure is too weak!
Hanzō himself has never been defeated.
If you want to completely defeat Amegakure, Hanzō is an obstacle that must be solved.
If the three hidden villages really work together, this will certainly not be a problem, but----
Now let alone Sunagakure, even if it is Iwagakure, Konoha cannot be trusted!
In this way, Hanzō's personal strength becomes apparent.
When Minato heard what Akaseki said, he nodded and said, "Well, it makes sense. Hanzō's strength is not weaker than any shadow." However, the shadows of the hidden villages "will not easily leave the village to fight outside the country."
Among the Konoha established by First Hokage to "protect the children", the three "children" are worried about the war situation in Konoha, and are about to go to the battlefield again.
On August 11, Akaseki was officially promoted to Jonin. Because it was during the war, there was no grand ceremony.
Instead----
Just two days later, on August 13, Akaseki and three others received official dispatch tasks at the same time.
To be precise, most of the Chunin and Jonin who were resting in the village were dispatched!
As Minato had expected, after half a year of stalemate, the battlefield situation has changed dramatically with the addition of Iwagakure.
"Huh? Are you all going to the front line Rain River?" Akaseki looked at Ranwu and Minato in confusion.
Because the confidentiality level of the three people's missions was very low, and there was no requirement to hide anything from the ninjas in the same village, the three of them shared the missions with each other.
None of the three are on the same team.
However, Ranwu and Minato were on their way to report to the command headquarters in front of the Rain River. Rain River is between the Wetlands area and Lingering Rain Mountain, which is the last barrier between the Amegakure and Wetlands areas.
Using the water of the Rain River, Amegakure drives the power of Water Style, and seals similar to Kannabi Bridge and Severed Mountain City are placed here. If Falling Rain Bridge does not occupy the Kawakami node, Supplies will be greatly restricted.
Therefore, now Rain River, especially near Falling Rain Bridge, is the front line.
The mission of Akaseki is exactly the opposite. It is to report to the command branch in the southwest of the Wetlands zone - that is, the area between the Lingering Rain Mountain front line and Land of Fire, which is considered a second-line theater and is the area that ensures forward logistics and retreat.
"Why am I going to the second line----" Akaseki muttered, seeming to have some objections to this arrangement.
"Akaseki Jonin, the first and second lines are all contributing to Konoha!" Ranwu deliberately stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, imitating the way he just said.
