Reborn Naruto, I rolled my eyes to the sky

After dealing with the affairs on the front line of the Wind Country, Sarutobi Hiruzen cast his eyes on me again: "With your current strength, it will be no problem for you to be promoted to a jonin. You may even be the youngest jonin in Konoha."

Kakashi Hatake, who was later known as the genius of Konoha, was also promoted to Jonin at the age of twelve. He was already a genius that most ninjas had to look up to, but I am not even twelve years old yet.

"I was just promoted to Chunin not long ago. Is it appropriate to be promoted to Jonin now?" I was a little confused.

"Haha, the will of fire is burning like this, and the endless ninja way has nothing to do with your age. Since your strength and achievements are enough to be called a jonin, how can the village become an obstacle for you?" Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed loudly.

Generally speaking, becoming a jonin requires an assessment, the number and quality of tasks performed, and the joint recommendation of at least three jonin. After all, the jonin are the backbone of the ninja village and have the status to influence the overall decision-making of the village. This is the case with Konoha's jonin meeting.

And I naturally don't need such a complicated process. As the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen has the right to recommend jonin. As long as the strength and merits of the recommended person are recognized by more than half of the jonin in the village, there will no longer be any rigid requirements such as tasks and assessments.

Even the Hokage can forcibly grant a ninja the status of a jonin, but as the saying goes, rights and responsibilities are relative, and becoming a jonin is not necessarily a good thing without the corresponding strength, and Sarutobi Hiruzen will not use this right indiscriminately.

For me, although I am still young and have just graduated from the Ninja School, and there are only a handful of senior ninjas who know me, but with the two major battles at the border of the Rain Country and the front line of the Wind Country, my reputation has become unique among young ninjas, and I even have a place among the outstanding ninjas of the younger generation.

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a while and said, "In addition to you, there are many ninjas who have proved their strength and achievements in this Ninja World War. The village can hold a joint ninja promotion event."

I was moved. After I completed the Twelve Earthly Branches Fundamental Seals through the Four Symbols Seal, Minato and Shinichi's strength did not grow as fast as mine. However, as genius ninjas in Konoha, with the Sharingan and Flying Thunder God Jutsu, they still had the strength of a Jonin.

Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that I was deep in thought and guessed what I was thinking: "Jiraiya is lucky. All of you disciples are very good. Namikaze Minato follows Danzo and I heard that he has never suffered any loss in the conflict with the Kumo Ninja."

"The kid from the Uchiha family is even more amazing. He opened the Three-magatama Sharingan at the border of the Water Country. His talent is even more amazing than that of his grandfather Kagami." As the bodyguard of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Kagami is one of the few Uchiha clan members who can gain the trust of Senju Tobirama. He is also a teammate of Sarutobi Hiruzen. No wonder Sarutobi Hiruzen looks at Shinichi with admiration.

"Although there is no large-scale war in Konoha at present, the borders of the Rain Country, Wind Country, and Lightning Country all need ninjas to guard. The war is not over yet, so the activities for promotion to Jonin still need to be prepared."

Sarutobi Hiruzen continued, "After the process is completed, the Jonin forehead protector will be given to you first. Your treatment and rights will be in accordance with the Jonin standards. The promotion ceremony will be held together with other ninjas after the war is over."

"Thank you for your cultivation, Hokage." For now, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen treats me as the future of Konoha and the inheritor of the will of fire. I don't say that I must sacrifice my life for him, but I will not refuse to contribute to Konoha in my journey to the top of the ninja world.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction, and said to the ANBU ninja standing beside him: "Submit the jonin promotion order for Hyuga Kumoyu that I proposed to him to the jonin meeting room for approval. After that, hand over the jonin forehead protector and corresponding equipment to Kumoyu."

"Yes, Lord Hokage." As the Hokage's personal Anbu ninja, it was rare to see Sarutobi Hiruzen attach so much importance to a young ninja. After receiving the order, the Anbu ninja couldn't help but look at me a few more times.

Most of the Anbu ninjas come from the powerful families in Konoha, and those who can become the personal guards of the Hokage are the elite among them and are believers in the will of fire who have been tested.

In fact, there are not many ninjas with firm beliefs in the ninja way in the ninja world. Most ninjas are muddle-headed and are pitiful people who are trapped in missions, families and villages all their lives.

Although the Will of Fire is not necessarily a ninja way suitable for all ninjas, at least it has no appeal to me who pursues the sublimation and transcendence of life, but for too many ninjas who do not have their own ninja way, it can also be regarded as a spiritual sustenance.

I admire such ninjas. Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya can be considered such ninjas. Although the Anbu ninja in front of me is not as strong and as well-known as the former two, the ninja ways they practice are the same, so I nodded to him in a friendly manner.
