Chapter 216
"Uncle Dai, where's Might Guy?" Shiro looked around but didn't see Kai. Generally speaking, Kai would never give up training, so if Dai was here, he should be here too.
"Phew, Might Guy went for a run over there, he should be back soon."
Looking at Dai, who was lying on the ground panting heavily, Shiro said with a smile, "Uncle Dai, you should rest. It would be a loss if you hurt yourself."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
"Come on, when have you ever shown any restraint, except during Might Guy's training?" Shiro could only roll his Byakugan in response to Dai's reply.
"That was before. Now that conditions have improved, we can naturally be more open-minded."
"Heh, just a reminder, Uncle Dai, although you're now Special Jonin, you haven't taken on any missions yet, which means you're still broke."
Upon hearing this, Dai turned gray instantly, standing there frozen like a stone statue.
A moment later.
"Damn it!!!"
Shiro watched Dai pounding the ground with amusement. This was the kind of thing Shiro loved to see, because only at times like this could he truly feel that he was a tycoon!
"I said, Uncle Dai, once you've regained your strength, get up and rest for a while. Don't keep pounding the ground. Get some rest so you can recover quickly and go on your mission sooner."
"Sigh, don't think about it, I don't have any missions for the time being."
"Hmm? Why? Surely the village shouldn't be without tasks? I haven't heard any news about the organizational structure being expanded or reduced."
"It's not the village's problem, it's my problem."
"Uncle Dai, what problems could you possibly have? The village knows your strength; they shouldn't restrict you, right?"
"It's not a restriction. The village's plan is that I'll Special Jonin for a while, and once I've accumulated enough merit, I'll be promoted to Jonin, and then we'll see if I can be promoted to Elite Jonin."
Isn't this a good thing?
"But that means I'll be promoted to Jonin very quickly. However, each squad is basically composed of one Jonin and a few Chunin or Genin, except for special squads."
"There's nothing wrong with that, right? Uncle Dai is strong even without opening the door, so he should be able to convince everyone. If all else fails, we can just take on a higher-intensity battle and let them see what he's capable of."
"That's not the problem. The team leader is also responsible for passing on mission experience to the team members, but you know my situation."
"Uh, this is indeed a difficult problem."
This is indeed a problem. As a Eternal Genin, how could he possibly have the opportunity to participate in any high-level missions? If it weren't for Shiro pulling him along this time, this unpolished gem would still be buried.
Therefore, you can ask him to fight, but as for imparting mission experience, sorry, he's learning it himself.
The village's "one high, two low" model is designed to cultivate more talent for the village.
Some students who show their talent in school, namely the Elite Class, are usually guided by a Jonin leader until they are promoted to Jonin. Only then will the team be disbanded and they will lead a new team of students or a new independent squad.
However, the Ninja Academy is not only for a few geniuses, and it does not exclude the possibility that some people outside the Elite Class may achieve great things later in life. Therefore, this rule was established.
Typically, a Jonin leads two Chunin, and during this process, they gradually impart mission experience to the Chunin, allowing them to learn more and improve their abilities.
What Dai lacks most is precisely mission experience.
He couldn't possibly teach them Taijutsu; they were just teammates, not students.
Therefore, the village is now quite troubled about what to do with Dai. Teaming him Jonin would be a waste, as few missions require such strong combat power.
Let him Chunin, but Chunin's unfair to the two Chunin, because they won't learn anything from it.
Generally speaking, those who can become Chunin have some talent and perseverance, because those who can't persevere would have dropped out long ago Chunin the Genin promotion stage.
Furthermore, now that Dai is such a special case, they are even more cautious in their decisions regarding this type of person. What if there are other talented individuals like Dai among them? Who can say for sure?
Therefore, this directly resulted in Dai being promoted to Special Jonin 6 days, and there is still no news of his teammates.
The village does have a few special units composed of Jonin, but those units themselves have considerable power. Dai's strength is sufficient, but in terms of merit, it is far from enough.
Therefore, even if Dai recovers from his injuries, he probably won't be able to complete the mission, because he needs to be on standby at any time, waiting for the village's notification.
"By the way, Shiro, is there something you need? You shouldn't be here for training at this time, right?"
"Well, I need to talk to Might Guy about something. I'd also like to treat you to a meal. I'll be applying to leave the village for training soon, so it might be a long time before we see each other again."
"Is it because of the rumors circulating in the village lately?"
"Some of them, if they leave temporarily, the situation will calm down faster."
"Yes, that's true. Be careful then."
"Don't worry, Uncle Dai, don't you know me? How could I possibly take such a risk?"
"Haha, that's right. Let's go then. Might Guy should be in that direction. Let's go there and wait for him."
"Um."
It's the same as always, still a barbecue restaurant.
Shiro's favorite foods in Konoha are barbecue and ramen, because these are closest to his eating habits from his previous life. Therefore, any gatherings he organizes are usually held at barbecue restaurants or ramen shops.
However, the atmosphere isn't suitable for a ramen shop right now. Besides, given their appetites, a barbecue restaurant might be a slightly more cost-effective option.
While the barbecue was still cooking, Shiro began to explain some things to Kai.
"Might Guy, have you been able to beat Kakashi lately?"
"Well, the last duel was half a month ago, and I lost. But I've improved a lot since then, and I'm sure I'll win if we fight again!"
"However, Kakashi isn't in great shape right now, so it's not a good time for him. I'll challenge him again once he's recovered!"
"Good attitude, but no need for 'later.' I'm giving you a task: continue challenging Kakashi as before. If you complete it, I can grant you one request."
"The reward doesn't matter, but isn't it a bit inappropriate now? He just went through something like this."
"That's why I'm having you challenge him, to give him something to do. Otherwise, I'm afraid he'll get stuck on something and be taken advantage of. So, can you do it?"
"Sure!" Kai answered confidently, then immediately changed his tune and started negotiating conditions, "Then, Shiro Brother, my request is..."
"Anything but tight-fitting clothes and a watermelon head!"
"..." Immediately, Dai and Kai lowered their heads like wilted eggplants. "This is boring."
Seeing this, Shiro rolled his eyes. Sure enough, the father and son were still thinking about him.
"Is that all you guys are aiming for? But Might Guy, you could use this as a bet with Kakashi. Wouldn't that give you a lot of motivation?"
Shiro's lips curved slightly, revealing a wicked smile like that of a husky.
