Soon, Sandaime also joined the ranks of sucking the cold air, making the temperature in early spring to rise slightly.
Turning Kirigakure's group of seven into a duo at one time is something that even he can't even imagine.
Looking at Sōseki, Sandaime is extremely satisfied.
'Talent, character, and belief are all perfect!'
In particular, Sōseki's response in this incident made him see the shadow of his teacher in Sōseki.
The Nidaime Hokage used to protect them like this back then!
Orochimaru smiled and said, "Sensei sure is our lucky star. The crisis is resolved as soon as you arrive."
Sandaime smiled and accepted Orochimaru's crazy praise, "Haha, don't put such a high hat on me, this is all the credit of Sōseki and the others."
"Since the crisis is over, then sensei, when do you plan to return to the village?"
"Since I'm already here, I should let my old bones move a little bit too, so as not to let the shameless old guy like Raikage to bully you juniors all the time."
They are not overly optimistic, but knew the impact of this incident on Kirigakure would be big.
It should be known that Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist was promoted as a trump card of Kirigakure. Five of them were killed at one time is equivalent to two Sannin were killed at one time in the eyes of Konoha's Shinobi.
Whether it is in terms of combat power or morale, Kirigakure will decline drastically.
In that case, it is not impossible for Kirigakure to escape directly back to the Land of Water.
Sōseki reminded from the side, "Hokage-sama, the reason we can get such a battle result this time, in addition to our cooperation, it is also thanks to Might Duy-senpai's contribution!"
"Might Duy?" Sandaime nodded with a smile, "After returning to the village this time, I'll get him to be promoted to Tokubetsu Jōnin."
Duy's own flaws are still too great as without using Eight Gates Technique, even Chunin can defeat him.
They can't just let him use the Eight Gates Technique every day, right?
Therefore, it's not a good thing for him to get Jōnin's position.
Sōseki didn't say much. He knew very well that Duy was destined not to be the protagonist in this incident.
Like in the original work, he was obviously the hero who killed four of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, but when Biwa Juzō asked Itachi, he only response that he had never heard of Duy.
The reason is very simple. If it was spread out that an expert like him have become Genin for a lifetime, doesn't it mean that Konoha's higher-ups are useless in finding talents?
Even for ordinary villagers, most of them are reluctant to admit this fact.
After all, many of them have looked down upon the pair of father and son. If they make such a person a hero, doesn't it look like that they are all clowns?
Relatively speaking, it is more in line with Konoha's political correctness to promote young Shinobi like Sōseki, Asuma and Mizuki.
So, the current results are actually pretty good.
Guy thanked twice, and then rushed out with a loud cry, "Dad, your Power of Youth has finally bear fruit, you are now a Tokubetsu Jōnin!"
"What? I'm Tokubetsu Jōnin?" Duy sat up in shock, dying, and then twisted his face, "Ah oh oh!"
The person next to him was speechless upon seeing this, 'As expected, this guy didn't have the aura of an expert.'
In the conference room, Jiraiya rubbed his chin and asked, "The Eight Gates Technique's seventh gate actually can make a Genin show a strength that surpasses that of the Elite Jōnin's. Sensei, should we get more people train in the Eight Gates Technique?"
He knows about the Eight Gates Technique, but in the past, most people only opened up to the fifth gate, so it naturally didn't attract enough attention.
"Do you think that just because Might Duy can train to the seventh gate means that other people can also train to the seventh gate?" Sandaime shook his head slightly, and looked towards Duy with eyes full of amazement, "It will take more than ten years, and it may even not bear fruit, so strong perseverance is needed. Let alone ordinary people, even the few of you may not be able to do it!"
"Even after training for a technique for more than ten years, there is a high probability that I will not be able to successfully train it?" Jiraiya was stunned for a while, 'The price is indeed too high.'
The most important point is that they also know about Duy's performance in this incident. If it were not for being controlled by Sōseki, he might not be able to even kill a Jōnin.
This kind of performance can't arouse much interest in them.
Of course, this is also because they don't know the power of last gate, otherwise they wouldn't be so indifferent.
Orochimaru asked from the side, "Sensei, shall we discuss the distribution of these ninja swords now?"
"Of course, but..." Sandaime smiled and looked towards Sōseki, "Since it is the spoils of war, it's up to the person who brought it back to distribute it!"
Hearing this, the eyes of the surrounding Jōnin looking towards Sōseki suddenly became scorching.
In addition to their own strength, at least one-third of the reputation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist comes from their ninja sword.
If they can get one of the ninja sword, maybe they can be as famous as the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
Sōseki said with a slight smile, "Before that, I hope my teammates can get the priority for two of the ninja swords."
The surrounding Jōnin looked at each other, but none of them made a sound.
Although they think it is too wasteful for Chunin to use the ninja sword, Sōseki still has the right to distribute the ninja sword. Not to mention that the probability of getting the ninja sword is just lower, but if they dare to protest, it will be all gone.
…
Kumogakure's stronghold.
"What did you say?" Raikage asked in disbelief, "Five of the seven idiots were killed by Shimizu Sōseki?"
Dodai smiled bitterly and said, "Although it sounds unbelievable, it's true!"
"Two years… I've waited for two years and didn't do anything! I just want Konoha's people to relax their vigilance!" Raikage cursed, "This is irritating. Konoha will never give us another chance!" After saying that, he cursed again, "It's fine if he didn't kill anyone, but he actually killed five of them. Are they in a hurry to give Shimizu Sōseki their heads?"
"Actually, we underestimated him!" Tutai said in serious expression, "He has been willing to act as a support for the past two years, hiding his brilliance from other people, but even so, he has made a name for himself."
A also showed serious expression, "I have long felt that this guy was not simple. He always looks calm, as if there is nothing he needed to worry about. Maybe, this bastard is still hiding his strength!"
Killer B was confused and asked, "Brother, isn't it just your imagination? Maybe you've been hit too much, and psychological shadow appear in your mind?"
Raikage squinted his eyes and said, "I also always looked calm, so am I also hiding my strength?"
Ai clenched his hands tightly and loudly shouted, "You need to believe me! The most dangerous thing in this battlefield is that kid!"
Dodai asked in doubts, "A-sama, do you have any basis to that?"
A then said confidently, "Of course, it is the intuition of a man and an opponent!"
Hearing this, the corners of Raikage's mouth twitched silently and then he changed the subject, "That little brat will be even harder to deal with now, so there is no need to talk about encircling and kill him in the future."
Dodai then asked, "Then what is our attitude towards Kirigakure?"
"Of course it's revenge!" Raikage said with murderous intent, "They actually dare to snatch things from our Kumogakure, don't they know that things always get in but not out?"
"I had to endure it for cooperation before, but now, they couldn't even do such a small thing like assassination. There is no need to keep this cooperation! "
He does have the confidence to say this. After all, Kumogakure has fought against Konoha for two years, not to mention the losses, they rarely even fall into the losing end.
In contrast, Kirigakure was beaten to the ground in just two days on the battlefield. What qualifications does such a loser have to cooperate with them as the Five Great Shinobi Villages?
