"Jonin?" All three Advisors were startled, finding the Third Hokage's decision incredible. Since Konoha's founding, no one had ever become a Jonin at this age.
"Isn't it too rash to make Uchiha Yefeng a Jonin just like that?" Shimura Danzō was the first to object. If Ye Feng were only a Chunin, it would not be too serious if Shimura Danzō moved against him in the future. But becoming a Jonin changed things. He would be a valuable fighting asset to the village and could even influence decisions on important matters. Shimura Danzō could not act against someone like that at will.
"It's settled. Your Jonin appointment and credentials will be sent over later, but there won't be a Jonin uniform for now. Konoha hasn't prepared Jonin uniforms for someone your age, and you're still growing. You'd outgrow them too quickly. That's all for now. Ye Feng, go home and rest." The Third Hokage ignored Shimura Danzō's words and made the decision final.
Since the Third Hokage had dismissed him, Ye Feng had even less desire to stay. He immediately said goodbye to the Third Hokage and left.
The moment Ye Feng left the Hokage Office, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura eagerly voiced their objections, so loudly that even Ye Feng heard them.
"Jonin only earn their promotions after completing countless missions. Doesn't this break the rules?"
Ye Feng did not care whether he was a Jonin. He would not be going out on missions in the days ahead anyway. To him, Chunin and Jonin were merely different titles.
The Third Hokage interrupted Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura before they could continue and said:
"You've all seen what happened during these Chunin Ninja Exams. Two of Kumogakure's participants were at least at the Jonin level. And then there's Killer B.
