Naruto: Climbing Ranks to Rule the Ninja World! - Chapter 16
Chapter 16 Jōnin Class Meeting
When Hatake Kakashi is serious, he is very reliable. You can trust him as a companion or a friend.
But the problem is that he is very indecent most of the time.
From time to time, I fall into an emo state.
There’s no way around it, what happened to him was truly tragic.
“By the way…” Kakashi suddenly put his arm around Naraku’s shoulder and asked in a low voice, “The treatment of other people in Anbu has been improved, but what about me? Why am I the only one who remains the same?”
“You are the Anbu Captain!”
“If you want a raise, go find the Third Hokage yourself!”
Naraku pretended not to hear and simply waved his hand, telling Kakashi to go find the Hokage and not to talk to him.
“Hey, I’m also a member of Anbu.”
Hatake Kakashi took out “Intimate Paradise” again to show off and watched it seriously.
“I forgot to congratulate you, Kakashi. You will soon be the vice-class representative of Jōnin Class…”
This time Naraku and Kakashi go to the Jōnin class for a meeting, and in addition to the usual routine, they will announce that Kakashi will become the vice-class leader of the Jōnin class.
The Jōnin Class is an organization that is mainly responsible for helping the Hokage manage the Jōnin in the village. After all, the Jōnin are the top force in the village, and decisions on all matters are very important.
Just like Sarutobi Hiruzen served as Hokage for a long time, Nara Shikaku has also been the leader of the Jōnin squad for a long time, and the Jōnin of Konoha Village also recognize and are satisfied with Nara Shikaku’s work.
“Shikaku-senpai did a great job, I’m just a figurehead.”
Kakashi himself didn’t really care, but Naraku thought about it a little more.
Shihouin Naraku is the vice-captain of Anbu, but manages two agencies of the Medical Department and has a high reputation in the Medical Department.
Hatake Kakashi is the general captain of Anbu, but now he also serves as the vice-captain of Jōnin class.
What is the Third Hokage thinking?
Naraku himself didn’t figure it out, but he vaguely felt that Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to want to choose one person between him and Kakashi to do something?
At this time, Naraku has not figured out that this is a decision about the Hokage candidate.
But it’s not his fault, because Shihouin Naraku knew the plot, and the Fifth Hokage of Konohagakure was succeeded by his teacher Tsunade.
So under this premise, he ignored the current situation of Konoha Village.
In the situation where the Third Hokage has not died yet and Jiraiya and Tsunade have not returned to the village, Naraku and Kakashi, as people from the Hokage lineage, are indeed very suitable candidates for Hokage on the surface.
……
Shihouin Naraku and Hatake Kakashi chatted and soon arrived at the meeting place of the Jōnin class.
“Hey…”
As the two stepped into the meeting room, a green figure jumped over and almost knocked Naraku and Kakashi down.
“Let’s burn together! Today’s youth!”
Might Guy, who was always excited, jumped out.
Naraku quickly left him to Kakashi and went to greet his other friends.
Kakashi wanted to leave with him, but was entangled by Might Guy. He had no choice but to stare at Might Guy with dead fish eyes.
“My eternal rival, Hatake Kakashi, are you ready for a long-awaited fight?”
“don’t want!”
Hatake Kakashi simply waved his hand to refuse. He had no intention of fighting with Might Guy.
After a fierce battle, Kakashi had back pain for several days, but he didn’t want to suffer any more.
“Naraku——”
Naraku, who had just finished greeting his companions and friends, was about to sit down on a chair, but before he could sit still, a figure bumped into him, causing him to almost stumble and fall.
“What again, Anko.”
Naraku turned his head and found Mitarashi Anko close to him.
Don’t be like that. Although Mao Yue Yugao hasn’t arrived yet, she will appear at any time.
“Don’t get too close to me. Sit still. The meeting will start soon.”
“cut!”
Mitarashi Anko sat up straight, bit off the last meatball, and chewed it. “Those guys are so slow. It’s still too early for the meeting to start.”
“After the meeting is over, do you want to go eat meatballs? It’s your treat.”
Naraku turned his head and looked Mitarashi Anko up and down. At this moment, she was young, beautiful and had a good figure.
“I’m telling you, if you keep eating like this, you’ll become a fat girl sooner or later!”
Mitarashi Anko has a huge sweet tooth, and most of the time when she sees him, she’ll have a skewer of glutinous rice balls in her mouth.
That is to say, as a ninja, he has to be very active, otherwise Anko would have become extremely fat.
“You must be joking…”
Anko didn’t care about Naraku’s reminder at all.
However, from this conversation, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is good.
The main reason is that both of them have been taught by Orochimaru. Since Orochimaru’s defection, Anko has encountered a lot of troubles because of her identity as Orochimaru’s student.
Naraku is different. He is indeed Tsunade’s student. He just learned knowledge from Orochimaru and was not affected. He also helped Anko several times, which made the relationship between the two very good.
There were many people around chatting like Naraku and Anko, and everyone was chatting with their familiar and close friends.
As time passed, the members of the Jōnin class gradually gathered. Except for a few who could not come due to very urgent missions, all the other Jōnin in Konoha Village were present.
Nara Shikaku also arrived and began to preside over the meeting.
Hatake Kakashi, who tried to cheer himself up, was also called up, and after being announced as the vice-class leader of the Jōnin class, the meeting continued.
Some important matters were quickly resolved through meetings.
By the second half of the meeting, all that was left were trivial troubles.
The Jōnins began to go their separate ways and busy themselves with their own affairs.
Nara Shikaku was also helpless. Some of the Jōnin sitting below had more seniority than him, so what could he say?
Naraku was equally bored, his mind already wandering as he thought about his plans.
It was a long time before the Jōnin class meeting ended.
Because of the mission, many Jōnin hadn’t seen each other for a long time, so everyone decided to go out for dinner.
Shihouin Naraku, Hatake Kakashi, Might Guy, Sarutobi Asuma and several others came to the hotel together.
Among them, Naraku is followed by Uzuki Yugao and Mitarashi Anko. Uzuki Yugao is his girlfriend and Anko is his fan.
Tenzo (Yamato) followed Hatake Kakashi, still looking a little reserved.
Sarutobi Asuma was chatting quietly with Kurenai Yuhi. From Kurenai Yuhi’s red face, it could be seen that Asuma was doing something dirty.
Might Guy was alone, also jumping happily.
Not long after everyone sat down in the restaurant, Morino Ibiki, Yamashiro Aoba, Shiranui Genma and others also arrived, and everyone started to have dinner together.
These Jōnin before him occupied the middle and high levels of Konohagakure, and even the Third Hokage sometimes couldn’t ignore their opinions.
Of course, some people here are not qualified to participate because of their strength or qualifications.
For example, Anko and Uzuki Yugao have good qualifications, but they lack strength.
Tian Zang has enough strength, but his qualifications are very poor.
As for Yuhi Kurenai, she has only been a Jōnin for a short time, her strength is barely acceptable, and her qualifications are almost non-existent.
Without the leadership of Naraku, Kakashi and Asuma, these people would not be able to enter the decision-making level of Konoha Village in a short time.
……
After the party, Naraku directly drove away Mitarashi Anko, who didn’t show any tact and wanted to join in the fun, and took Uzuki Yugao to go shopping under the moonlight.
Watching a group of young men laughing and playing as they ran past the two of them, Naraku looked at Uzuki Yugao and said:
“Xiyan, do you want to become a mentor and lead the Genin class?”
“Ah? Why so sudden?”
A look of surprise appeared on Uzuki Yugao’s pretty face. She seemed to be having a good time in Anbu.
Because the Twelve Young Warriors of Konoha are about to graduate.
No, the Genin team led by Might Guy graduated last year, but they didn’t take the Chūnin exam just to be safe.
