Naruto: Opening Eye Variation Kaleidoscope

"You can study it carefully when you go back and see if there is any possibility of improvement. Even if the swordsmanship is less powerful, it doesn't matter. The important thing is to let others practice it."

Faced with Sarutobi Hiruzen's "hard-spoken and sincere" teachings, Gintoki nodded his head in agreement.

"Okay, enough of the small talk, let's get down to business."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat back in his seat, crossed his hands, and couldn't see his face clearly amid the smoke.

"The reason for calling you back to the village this time is for three things. The first one is that you played an important role in the earth and fire battlefield and killed Loess, the supreme commander of Iwagakure. Your military exploits were huge. You are hereby promoted to the rank of Jonin. "

Gintoki pretended to be surprised, and then nodded with some surprise: "Yes, thank you, Hokage-sama."

Being promoted from special jounin to jounin does not mean that Gintoki is a jounin in the eyes of Sarutobi Hiruzen, but it should be classified as an elite jonin level as Orochimaru said.

It's just that strength is strength. Konoha does not have the title of elite jounin, so jounin is already the highest.

"Don't rush to write, it's not finished yet."

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand: "I see that you are extremely talented in swordsmanship. In the past few years, we in Konoha Village also had a strong man who was particularly famous for his swordsmanship. During World War II, he was even horrified by the enemy. By Konoha White Fang."

Gintoki raised his eyebrows, somewhat confused as to what Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to do.

Gintoki has also heard of Konoha White Fang's nickname, because strictly speaking, this Third Ninja War has more or less something to do with him.

Konoha White Teeth's real name is Hatake Sakumo. During the Second Ninja World War, he made his reputation with a ninja sword on the Wind and Fire battlefield. He is an absolute shadow-level powerhouse. It is said that he was also awarded the Hokage Half Sleeve. , has an unparalleled reputation.

But not long ago, because during a mission, Konoha White Fang gave priority to his teammates over the mission, and as a result, he was swallowed up by Konoha's public opinion.

Under all kinds of accusations and abuses, Konoha White Fang committed suicide at home.

According to Orochimaru, if he was still alive, Sunagakure Village might not dare to take the initiative to cause trouble this time.

As for why Orochimaru mentioned Konoha White Fang to Gintoki, he had to mention Gintoki's current reputation.

Silver Sword Demon, this was originally just a nickname given to Gintoki by the ninjas of Iwagakure Village.

But as Gintoki killed more and more ninjas, his reputation grew bigger and bigger, and even spread to other battlefields. Under this nickname, another voice gradually appeared.

That is, the successor of Konoha White Fang.

They are also good at using swords, they are also famous for fighting in ninja battles, and they even have white hair!

Don't ask Gintoki why white and silver can be confused, just like he doesn't know why swords and swords can replace each other.

All in all, just after White Fang died in Konoha, the Silver Sword Demon appeared. This coincidence made this gossip intensify.

Obviously one of them has reached the Kage level just by relying on swordsmanship, while the other is only at the jounin level just by relying on swordsmanship. How can these be compared?

Gintoki was actually a little depressed, because he always felt that there was a hint of flattery in it.

Besides, it is not a good thing to be misunderstood about your strength. If you are underestimated, you can pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger. If you are overestimated, you may be troubled at any time.

"White Fang once improved and enhanced the flag wood sword technique inherited from his family to a certain extent, which gave him the name White Fang. This sword technique is now also called White Fang Knife Technique. Looking back, I Someone will give it to you, you can refer to it."

Hearing this, Gintoki felt a little surprised, and then suddenly realized.

This is giving yourself a sweet spot.

Originally, it was good enough for Hiruzen Sarutobi to give Gintoki the rank of Jonin based on his military merits. Now he gave him an additional sword skill, wasn't he just trying to win over Gintoki and give him a good impression?

Furthermore, Gintoki is a Konoha ninja anyway. If he really wants to practice something, it may be too late for Sarutobi Hiruzen to be happy.

However, he originally had such a gimmick as the successor of Konoha White Fang, and then he practiced the opponent's sword skills. Could it be that Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to confirm this matter?

Gintoki showed some gratitude in response: "Thank you, Hokage-sama!"

"Ah."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said the third thing: "Finally, join ANBU, Gintoki."

Anbu?

Gintoki was stunned. What is this? Why haven't I heard of it?

"Anbu, the full name is the special assassination tactics unit."

Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to have noticed Gintoki's doubts, and started the popular science time: "Anbu is a special department established when the second generation Hokage teacher took control of Konoha, and is directly commanded by the Hokage."

"Our Anbu in Konoha is the first spy organization among the five major countries. Its members are all outstanding ninjas selected from the village. They are mainly responsible for protecting the Hokage and preventing foreign enemies from invading the Konoha ninja village."

"Anbu ninjas often have to have excellent ninja qualities in addition to their strength. They wear masks on weekdays and call each other by code names. They are not allowed to reveal their identities."

Gintoki rubbed the back of his head and roughly understood what Sarutobi Hiruzen meant. He was nothing more than a "personal bodyguard" who stayed anonymous and only did dirty work.
