Naruto: If I ask you to practice gentle fist, will you drive a Gundam?

The funeral was over and most of the ninjas left, but Neji stayed at the funeral.

It was not because he missed the Third Hokage so much, nor was it because there were any important supplies that could be stockpiled here, but because two senior Konoha executives called him.

"Hinata Neji, I heard everything that happened yesterday."

The person who spoke was an old man wearing glasses. He had a wide scarf around his neck and a few tufts of hair combed upwards, making him look very stubborn and tough.

Neji looked at the other person and recognized him at a glance. It was Konoha's senior management, Mito Kado En.

"I heard that you were commanding everyone to resist the enemy's attack in a panic yesterday?"

An older woman next to Mitomon En spoke next. It was Utane Koharu.

Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu, together with the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, were all disciples of the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama. They once served together as the bodyguard of Senju Tobirama and shined in the First Ninja War.

After that, he managed all the major and minor affairs of Konoha together with Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, and had a considerable say.

Even in the later stages of Boruto, these two advisors still have great decision-making power.

Now, with Sarutobi Hiruzen dead and Shimura Danzo unconscious, the two old men who serve as consultants are the biggest managers of Konoha.

"Yes, yesterday I did summon the living slug by myself, and then I commanded the leaderless Konoha ninjas to successfully resist the joint attack of Sand Village and Sound Ninja."

Neji said with a smile, speaking in a leisurely tone, telling him everything about his glorious performance yesterday.

Because Neji could feel that these two people came to him with a purpose, and if there was a purpose there was the possibility of negotiation.

If we want to negotiate, of course it would be better if we have more bargaining chips on our side!

Listening to Neji calmly recounting his glorious deeds, the two old men had a look of surprise and astonishment on their faces, as if in their minds being low-key was the truth in life.

However, these two people seemed to really need Neji's help and did not show any dissatisfaction.

"Haha, that's fine too. Young people should be more outspoken!"

Mitokado En spoke slowly, his tone exactly the same as the Sandaime and Danzo. Neji even suspected that these people had taken some public speaking class together, as their ways of speaking were so similar.

However, the other party didn't seem to react much to what he said, which was a bit beyond Neji's expectations.

In Neji's memory, Mitokado En and Utane Koharu were the most conservative people after the Sandaime and Danzo. They were very reserved in their style of doing things. Not only were they very slow in accepting new things, they were also extremely conservative when it came to the training of younger generations.

"That's right, Konoha Village needs young and promising talents like Neji now!"

Seeing that Neji didn't respond, Utane Koharu also joined in.

Seeing how attentive the two were, Neji probably guessed that they probably wanted something from him.

Seeing that the two of them were so humble, Neji also tried to show some respect for his elders.

"Thank you for your compliments, elders. If you have anything to say, please speak directly. There is no need to be so polite."

Neji said with a smile, his gestures showing elegance.

"Hehe, to be honest, the village has suffered heavy losses recently, which is seriously related to the long-term inaction of the Konoha Guard."

Mito Menyan said in a deep voice.

The guards are not doing anything? Didn't you, the higher-ups, exterminate the Uchiha clan that was originally in charge of the guards and that's why things are like this? How dare he say that?

Although Neji thought so in his heart, he still had a smile on his face and listened to the other party politely. He was flawless in keeping a calm expression.

"and..."

Utatane Koharu continued:

"Now not only did the Sandaime Hokage sacrifice himself, but even Danzo..."

After saying this, a sad look appeared on the old lady's face, and she seemed to be hesitant to speak.

But Neji noticed that beneath the sad expressions of the two old men, there seemed to be some kind of vigilance hidden, and they were always paying attention to Neji's reaction.

Haha, are you trying to test me and trick me?

"What happened to Grandpa Danzo? Did something happen?!"

Neji wanted to answer like this while pretending to be harmless.

But after thinking about it, I changed my mind.

First, because of the diplomatic incident in the Hidden Cloud Village in the early years, Neji, who was forced to lose his father, was also one of the victims. He should not have a good impression of the Hokage, Danzo and the Konoha high-level officials, so being too intimate would easily reveal flaws;

Secondly, I was asked to call Danzo "grandpa", which I really couldn't say. It was really disgusting.

Having said that, Neji couldn't show too much disgust. After all, no matter how bad Danzo was, he still had a strong sense of friendship and comradeship in the hearts of these two old men.

"Oh? What happened?"

In the end, Neji took a more neutral answer.

Hearing Neji's reply, the two old men's eyes twitched, and they confirmed each other with expressions that were difficult for ordinary people to notice, but it did not escape Neji's insightful eyes.

The two old men nodded, seemingly approving of Neji's reaction.

"Nothing, Danzo has been feeling unwell lately and is recuperating. I'm afraid he won't be able to show up in the short term..."

Mito Menyan said in a deep voice.

Feeling unwell? Does that mean turning into a vegetable? It would be really uncomfortable to need someone to take care of my eating, drinking, defecating and urinating every day. Neji thought.

"Cough cough!"

Mitomon En coughed twice, trying to end this embarrassing topic.

"So, now the village's decisions are basically made by Xiaochun and I, and in order to prevent things like yesterday from happening again, we decided to reactivate the Konoha Guard."

"After a series of considerations, we decided to give this position to..."

"I reject!"

Before the two old men could finish their words, Neji stopped them.

"I know, I know. Let me tell you the detailed rules first... Wait, what did you say?"

Mitomon En didn't react for a moment and thought Neci agreed.

"I said, I refuse."

Neji said with a smile.

"Why! This is the security team! They manage the public security of the entire village of Konoha. Becoming the captain of the security team will greatly facilitate your promotion in the future!"

Utane Koharu also spoke with great confusion, as if in their eyes, Neji was very abnormal and had a problem with his brain for being able to reject the opportunity to join the government so easily.

"You two may have forgotten that the results of the Chunin Exam have not yet come out, and I am still just a Genin!"

Neji said with a smile.

For him, the real purpose of this Chunin Exam has always been to be promoted to Chunin and thus unlock the restrictions of the attribute panel.

Although I have gained a lot of other things along the way, they are just extras and are secondary.

After hearing what Neji said, the two old men looked at each other and laughed at the same time:

"Hahaha, it's my fault, it's my fault! How could I have forgotten about this?"

Mitokado En said this, taking out something like a certificate from his arms and handing it to Neji.

Ningci took it and looked at it. There were only some simple Konoha village emblems printed on it, and a line of small words written below:

Congratulations to Hyuga Neji for his successful promotion to Chunin of Konoha Village. He will enjoy Chunin salary and related rights and interests, effective immediately!

The last signature of this line of small words is the Hokage's Office of Konoha Village.

Looking at this certificate which couldn't be simpler, Ningji was speechless. Except for the handwritten name, all other text was photocopied, just like a certificate for being a model student.

“Is this thing really reliable?”

Neji couldn't help but grumble inwardly.

But the next second, the system gave him a positive answer:

[The mission to be promoted to Chunin has been completed! The attribute panel and all skills have unlocked Kage-level strength and proficiency! ]

Seeing the system prompt, Ningci's previous doubts immediately disappeared. He directly entered the system space and added all those accumulated attribute points!

"Hehe, we filled out this certificate last night. In view of your outstanding performance in this exam, we can actually make an exception and promote you to Jonin!"

Utane Koharu said with a smile.

But Ningji, who was busy adding points in the system space, ignored her words.

At this time, a new prompt popped up in the system, which was a task, and it seemed to be a follow-up task for the previous promotion to Chunin.

[New mission! Promoted to Jonin! Mission Reward: You can break through the character's attributes and all skills to super shadow strength, with no upper limit! ]

Seeing this, Ningci suddenly turned his head and said to the old lady:

"You just said that you can make an exception and promote me to Jonin. Does that still count?"
