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

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

Ningci's question undoubtedly interrupted the two old men's thoughts. Yan and Xiaochun both stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say.

If it was just a simple courtesy, they could just laugh it off, but the most fatal thing was that they actually thought about the extraordinary promotion of jonin.

After all, yesterday's battle was seen by many people in Konoha Village. Being able to summon a summoning beast of the Sannin level and command and deploy a large number of ninjas to successfully resist foreign enemies was definitely enough for Neji, who should have been promoted to Chunin, to be promoted to Jonin.

But they were also afraid that if Neji was promoted too quickly, it would cause dissatisfaction among others, thus causing trouble in Konoha, which was already not united enough.

At this moment, Ningci had already completed the upgrade of his attribute points and skill proficiency, and the system spoke again:

[Host: Hyuga Neji, current attributes:]

[Ninjutsu: 1495]

[Illusion: 1488]

[Physical Skills: 1604]

【Strength: 1550】

【Speed: 1525】

【Intelligence: 1580】

[Seal: 1600]

[Chakra: 1585]

Ningji divided the remaining attribute points equally among the eight attributes, cultivating them in the direction of the bucket number.

At this time, Ningji already possessed the strength of a Kage, but the actual strength of each Kage varied greatly.

Senju Hashirama and the Yondaime Kazekage are both at the Kage level. Can you say that they are at the same level?

In the later stage, even if Impure World Madara is not in full condition, he can still easily fight one against five, and beating the five Kage is like torturing a dog!

Because of this, the "Kage level" alone is still not enough to define the truly strong people in the Naruto world.

This is why there is a level of strength called “Super Shadow”.

At this time, after Ningci completed the skill points and skill proficiency improvement, the system prompt came again:

[The shadow-level strength has been achieved! The system will be upgraded! Please select the upgrade time~]

Then the system pops up two options:

[Upgrade Now] and [Upgrade at Night]

Looking at the system prompt, Neji asked vigilantly in his mind:

“What are the side effects of system upgrades?”

Because according to his past memory, although this system upgrade will bring powerful new features, it may also create huge weaknesses during the upgrade.

In response, the system replied:

[During the upgrade period, the host's strength will be limited to the level of Chunin, and it will not be restored to full strength until one week later! ]

"Chunin level? And for a whole week? The price is a bit high..."

Ningji looked at the system prompt message and thought that this was a huge weakness. If the enemy took advantage of this moment, wouldn't he be doomed?

Moreover, many plots will unfold in the near future. First, there will be a visit to Tsunade and the battle between the three ninjas, then Sasuke will escape and fight against the Sound Four, and then there will be the first duel between Naruto and Sasuke.

Neji shuddered at the thought of so many battle scenes and the dangers that would be encountered.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just the incident with the Four, in the original work, Ningji almost died.

Therefore, Ningji looked at the two options "Upgrade Now" and "Upgrade at Night" on the system interface and did not take any action.

On the other hand, Utane Koharu and Mitokado En seemed to be still considering whether or not to promote Neji to the rank of Jonin right now.

After all, in the war years of the past, there were many examples of people being promoted to jonin at a young age.

"I see!"

Mitomon En finally made up his mind and said.

"We agree to promote Jonin!"

Mizuto Menyan said in a deep voice, as if he had made a great decision.

"what?"

Neji was just asking casually just now, but he didn't expect the other party to actually agree.

"but..."

Just when Neji was about to thank him, Utane Koharu interrupted him.

"But only after you take over the Konoha Guard."

"That's right. It's obviously not enough for you to manage such a large guard team with your status as a Chunin. For this reason, we have a reason to give you an exceptional promotion!"

Well, so he's waiting for me here, Neji thought.

But even if I have excellent grades and outstanding performance, I can't let a thirteen-year-old child take over such an important position, right?

Ningci also directly asked the question in his heart:

"I wonder why the two advisors think so highly of Neji that they want to give me this position?"

Hearing this, Mizuto Kado En and Utane Koharu looked at each other, as if they had something to hide. After some thought, Mizuto Kado En finally spoke.

"Indeed, this position is not something that anyone can take up. In addition to outstanding personal strength and strong command and deployment capabilities, the family's ability, personal qualifications, and prestige in the village are all indispensable."

Neji waited patiently for the other person to finish speaking.

"To be honest, the person we first looked for was Lord Hyuga Hiashi, because the Hyuga family is currently the most powerful family in Konoha, and the position of the guard is a position closely related to the family."

After hearing this, Neji became even more confused. Since he was looking for Hizashi, why did he come to him again?

As if she had sensed Neji's doubts, Utane Koharu said calmly:

"It was Lord Hizu who recommended you to us. He said that he is no longer as glorious as he once was and should be slowly pushed behind the scenes, leaving the stage to young people like you."

Hearing this, Neji suddenly realized.

Previously, when Neji saw Hiruzen say with certainty that he would help him overthrow the elders of the main family, he was still wondering how he would help him.

It wasn't until today that Neji finally understood what Hizashi meant.

It seems that Hiashi wants Neji to build up his own connections and relationships through the Konoha Guard, and of course private armed forces are indispensable. With these powerful backings and the support of the villagers, there will be no worries even if he breaks off with the elders of the main clan.

Thinking of this, Neji couldn't help but feel touched. On the one hand, it was Hiashi's foresight, and on the other hand, it was Hiashi's sincerity.

However, this also proves from another perspective how powerful Izanami's brainwashing effect is.

At this time, the two old men had already confessed all their backgrounds and were eagerly waiting for Neji's answer.

After some thought, Ningci finally spoke:

"Well, now that it's come to this, I'll take it! Konoha Guard!"
