Chapter 10 - Special Jōnin

"The next day in the backyard, our protagonist was sat alone with sweaty, holding a tree leaf in his palm.

"I'm going to make it!" Says Nori while strengthening his concentration and used a small amount of chakra on leaf.

Before stopping abruptly, with a slight smile while fixing the slight cut to the edge of the sheet.

"If I continue at this rate, I should be able to cut the leaf in half in a few days."

He had been training with his clones for eighteen hours, so since he didn't need sleep, he didn't stop training once.

But it was worth it because he had finally managed to make a slight cut on the leaf.

"But I must admit that this method is extremely difficult." He whispered as he went into the bathroom.

If we did the math, it took him eighteen hours, but with his thirty clones it was more than 22 days almost 23 days of training (18×30÷24=22.5 days).

Forget 22 days, how many ninja could afford to train 24 hours a day for so many consecutive hours without missing chakra or sleeping, at most he could train 5 hours a day, maybe a little more if he had a lot of free time, it made Nori understand how difficult this method was, making him even more determined to learn chakra transformation.

After taking a nice bath and changing again, Nori suddenly wanted to eat, although he no longer felt hungry with his plug-in, it didn't mean he didn't like to eat anymore.

He took about 1,000 Ryo from his savings and put on his shoes, but when he wanted to go out, a young woman with purple hair, in combat clothing wearing a white monkey mask appeared in front of him.

Then with a cold, calm voice said :

"Under the order of the Hokage, please follow me."

Upon hearing this, Nori frowned slightly, but finally chose not to speak.

he followed the young woman for about ten minutes before arriving in front of the Hokage's office, but instead of entering the office, the young woman took him to a large room with several chairs on which the Hokage was sitting in the centre, two people of quite advanced age on his right, a man wearing many bandages with a scar on his chin, on his left.

After accompanying him, the kunoichi with purple hair left silently, leaving Nori standing.

All four of them stared at Nori for a moment, before the Hokage spoke.

"Genin, Nori Hisamatsu, in connection with your recent contributions, your incredible feats on the battlefield, I the third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, grant you the rank of Special Jōnin of the hidden village of Konoha, congratulations!" Says the third Hokage with a slight smile.

Nori who originally thought he had been called by the Hokage to receive some congratulations was completely speechless.

Although he expected to receive some rewards for the damage he had caused to the enemy ninja, but he had never expected him to jump directly from Genin to Jōnin, it was just crazy.

But what Nori didn't know was that his performance had even made the hokage and Konoha's senior executives completely speechless!

Don't be mad at them! Even the person who had written the information had hesitated for a long time before transmitting it to them for fear of being mistaken for a traitor!

Don't be mad at them!

Even the Anbu's members, who had written the information had hesitated for a long time before transmitting it to them for fear of being mistaken for traitors!

The ninjas sent by the Hokage arrived quickly at the border and after a great battle and investigation lasting about fifteen hours, sent all the information collected to Konoha.

They discovered that Konoha's ninja, Nori Hisamatsu, killed 68 Iwa's ninja including 24 Chunin, 41 Genin, 2 Special Jōnin and 1 Jōnin.

Who wouldn't be surprised?

And after a long discussion with the two elders of konoha and Danzō Shimura, it was finally decided to grant him the rank of special Jōnin.

Seeing Nori surprised, the hokage couldn't help but laugh slightly before saying:

"You can go now to get your tactical vest and reward for your contribution."

Hearing for the hokage's voice bowed slightly and said

"Thank you Hokage-Sama." Then went for the exit.

"Wait, young man, do you want to join the Root?" Asked the man with a scar on his chin called Danzo, looking at Nori fervently.

Nori turned around and saw Danzo's eyes and could not help but feel chills onhisback, while thinking

"Does this guy have any special hobbies?"

Thinking about it, Nori tightenedhisanus and without answering, quickly fled through the door, seeing that, Sarutobi could not stop laughing and even the two elders although they tried to hide it giggled in a low voice looking at Danzo who had a face that couldn't hide his desire to strangle Nori.

"I have to get away from this guy in the future!" Thought Nori in the hallway before heading towards the administration.

"Nori Hisamatsu, I'm here to pick up my tactical vest, doc.u.ments attesting to my promotion and mission reward."

The the young woman behind a desk, slowly placed a packaged green vest and an envelope containing doc.u.ments bearing the Hokage seal.

"You are required to choose at least two or three Genins who will be under your command, but before that, the administration grants you a week off."

"Would you like to recover the full rewards?" Asked she.

"Yes!" Says Nori without hesitation thinking ofhispoor economies.

"Murder of several enemy ninja including chunin and Jōnin."

"Possession high-value information."

"You have successfully completed two missions of rank S."

Then, under the amazed eyes of our protagonist, she placed five large envelopes filled to the maximum in front him.

"Sign here, please!" Says the young woman.

Nori quickly signed a scroll, before taking his new possession and quickly returned home, still surprised by all the events that took place.
