Konoha's Strongest Technician

In the afternoon, Kakashi, who had filled out the application form, came to the Hokage's office under the leadership of Minato.

"Hokage-sama, I brought Kakashi."

"Kakashi, come here quickly and salute Lord Hokage."

After Minato saluted the Third Hokage, he turned to Kakashi behind him and warned him.

"Hello, Hokage-sama."

Kakashi bowed and said hello respectfully, looking extremely sensible.

"Haha, he is such a polite boy."

The Third Hokage looked at Kakashi and smiled kindly.

"Kakashi, actually I have been paying attention to you since we last met."

"Judging from your performance on the battlefield, like Sakumo, you are an outstanding ninja who has inherited the will of fire."

"I think even Sakumo's spirit in heaven would be proud of you when he sees you growing up so vigorously!"

Speaking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to remember the past, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes.

Hatake Sakumo, what a wonderful subordinate!

He's very capable and obedient, but it's a pity...

"Thank you for the compliment, Hokage-sama."

"In the future, I will definitely be like my father, dedicated to the Hokage and the village until my death!"

Kakashi looked flattered and talked nonsense seriously.

The emotion in his voice and the sincerity in his eyes made him almost believe it!

On, the actor’s self-cultivation!

"I have dedicated myself to the best of my ability and died..."

The Third Hokage recited it twice, his eyes brightening the more he recited it!

Isn't this the will of fire he has been preaching in the village?

"Hahaha, good, he is indeed Sakumo's son!"

Listen to Kakashi's sincere words and look at his clear and bright eyes.

All the doubts that the Third Hokage had because Kakashi never took the initiative to find him disappeared.

Yes, the previous Kakashi must have stayed in the shadow of White Fang's death.

That's why I put on a thick protective shell for myself, showing a cautious and careful side.

Now being carefully taught by Minato, who also inherited the will of fire, it seems that he has untied the knot in his heart and gradually opened up his inner feelings for the village and himself?

Thinking of this, the third generation looked at Kakashi with more and more satisfaction.

"Haha, it's great if you have such a heart."

"Wherever the leaves are flying, the fire will continue to grow. The fire will continue to illuminate the village and make new leaves sprout."

"And you are the new shoot of Konoha that needs to thrive."

"It's better to leave things like dying to an old man like me!"

The Third Hokage chuckled, his tone filled with pride.

Kakashi couldn't help but want to applaud him!

If he remembered correctly, in the original work, the living Hiruzen Sarutobi never went on a frontal battlefield after he succeeded to the position of Hokage!

Of course, it makes sense to say that the Hokage must sit in the rear and arrange his troops.

If the Third Raikage hadn't been there to cover the retreat of his subordinates, and one person could have resisted ten thousand people, Juyu would have been there.

Speaking of which, the shadow of the five major villages.

After excluding Goju Yagura, who was controlled by the Sharingan and eventually died of frustration, and the two Kazekages who were assassinated by Scorpion and Orochimaru respectively.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is the only one who has always sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, right?

People, once they have held power for a long time, are accustomed to using various political means to achieve their own goals in a roundabout way.

It is easy to lose the hard-headedness and gradually become conservative and weak.

Otherwise, in the original work, under the pretext of peace talks with Kumoyin Village, the so-called envoys kidnapped Hinata in the Konoha Ninja Village, plotting to slap Hinata in the face.

How could Sarutobi Hiruzen, in order to settle the matter, hint to the Hyuga clan to hand over the murderer of the Kumogakure envoy to quell the anger of the Kumogakure village?

So much so that it forced Hyuga Hizashi to commit suicide for his brother, causing Neji to lose his father when he was young!

Of course, even though he was cursing in his heart, Kakashi's performance on the surface did not stop.

"I, Kakashi, will live up to your expectations!"

"Haha, okay! By the way, Minato must have told you everything about being promoted to Jonin."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up from his seat as he spoke.

"Yes Hokage-sama."

Kakashi replied respectfully.

"Then just follow me."

"According to convention, a young boy like you who wants to be promoted to Jonin needs to pass a practical test."

"It's mainly so that you can gain recognition from other jounin faster."

"After all, most of the tasks you are involved in are confidential. Only a few people can know about it, and it is inconvenient to publicize it to the outside world."

As he spoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen walked out of the Hokage's office.

Minato and Kakashi saw this and followed closely behind.

Soon, the three of them arrived at Konoha's training ground No.1.

This is where the ANBU training directly under the Hokage usually takes place, and is not open to the public.

At this time, Danzo and two Hokage advisors also arrived at the scene in advance.

"Kakashi, these two are the Hokage's advisors, Mito Kaden-sama and Koharu-sama."

"As for this person, he is the leader of the Roots, Lord Shimura Danzo."

When they arrived, Minato introduced Kakashi one by one.

He had been away on missions for a long time, but he didn't know that Kakashi had already met all the members of Konoha F4.

Hearing this, Kakashi also showed respect and bowed to the three of them.

Mito Kadeni and Koharu, who moved to bed, nodded slightly, and were quite impressed with Kakashi's attitude.

Danzo, on the other hand, remained expressionless. He really couldn't like this boy who had refused to join the Roots.

Of course, it was not Kakashi who rejected him verbally, but Tsunade.

But in the face of his own direct invitation, Kakashi was not flattered, and took the initiative to express his willingness to join the root.

In his opinion, it is disrespectful!

"Okay, don't waste time."

Danzo said coldly, his tone full of impatience.

Sarutobi Hiruzen understood the temper of his old partner and shook his head helplessly.

Then with a move of his right hand, a man wearing ANBU attire and a cat-face mask walked out.

"He is the elite of ANBU. As long as you can hold on in his hands for half an hour, you will pass the test."

"However, since it is a Jonin test, he will take action with all his strength."

"I understand, Hokage-sama."

Kakashi nodded, his tone serious.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took Minato to the viewing platform and stood side by side with Konoha F4.

The rest of the Anbu also exited the venue and watched from a distance, leaving only one person to act as the referee.

"Then, let's get started."

Sarutobi Hiruzen gave instructions to the ANBU who acted as the referee.

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

"fighting........"

The referee flew back to avoid being affected.

Kakashi and the cat-faced ANBU formed seals on their right hands at the same time to show respect.

"start!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kakashi disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Since you don’t know the opponent’s abilities, strike first!
