After Sarutobi left, Tsunade came in.
"What did the old man say to you?"
As soon as Tsunade came in, she directly called Sarutobi an old man.
Maples smiled and said: "It's nothing, I'm going to the Rain Country in a few days."
"You didn't mention anything about the Cloud?"
Tsunade hesitated for a moment.
Maples smiled and said: "Are you talking about the peace terms of the Cloud? That was mentioned, but I'm not an idiot, how can I give the initiative to the Cloud, haha."
Tsunade was slightly relieved.
Ever since she experienced the death of her younger brother during World War II, she believed that sacrificing herself for the village was something only a fool would do.
She was worried that Maples would suddenly agree to the terms of the Cloud in order to end the war. Although he will be remembered as a hero by countless people, what's the point of that?
What's more, it's a war now, the Cloud can't be trusted at all, and if the other side immediately goes back on their words, there's no way to stop it.
"Yes, the Cloud can't be trusted, and even if they can be trusted, using death in exchange for peace is a fool's thing."
Tsunade said with a hint of sarcasm.
After a few seconds of silence, she looked at Maples and said: "When are you going to leave for the Rain Country?"
"In a few days."
Maples thought for a moment and said: "It doesn't make sense to rush there, Orochimaru sensei has already evacuated the original camp, even if the Rain and the Rock joined forces, they won't go deep into the Fire Country for a while."
Tsunade nodded and said: "I can't accompany you to the Rain Country, you have to be careful, Hanzo is very dangerous."
"Even if you win against Sandaime Raikage, you can't be careless against that guy, even a monster like Sandaime Raikage won't be able to win against Hanzo!"
Tsunade reminded him solemnly.
As someone who has fought against Hanzo the Salamander before, she is very clear about the strength of Hanzo the Salamander. He was called a demi-god in the Shinobi World. During the Second World War, he single-handedly defended the Rain Village from the three great Shinobi Villages.
"Don't worry."
Maples smiled slightly.
If the Raikage meets Hanzo, it's not certain who will die. After all, the Raikage is good at physical defense, while Hanzo the Salamander is a master of poison, and he will die if he breathes it.
But Sandaime Raikage won't be able to win against Hanzo, and he won't put Hanzo in his eyes.
He knows almost all of Hanzo's methods, the most powerful poison hidden in his body, but poison is basically no threat to him, the time reversal is the strongest antidote!
"Both of you come in."
After reminding Kaede of Hanzo's ability, Tsunade rushed to the entrance of the tent.
Shizune and Kurenai walked in together. Kurenai lowered her head slightly, still nervous in front of Tsunade.
Tsunade glanced at Kurenai, and then glanced at Kaede. This kid is good in every way, and his character is good, but he's a little too popular.
But Kaede was still young, so it was okay to play around. Moreover, compared to Jiraiya, he was much better.
"Tsunade-sama's momentum is still very scary."
Seeing Tsunade leave, Kurenai whispered in relief. She put one hand on her chest and said, "If they find out that we're playing cards here, they'll definitely scold us."
"Kurenai, you may not know what Tsunade-sensei's name is." Maples looked at Kurenai and smiled.
Kurenai was a little confused, "Huh?"
Maples smiled and said, "Her name is … The Legendary Fat Sheep!"
"When it comes to playing cards, you're far behind her. Of course, I'm talking about the ability to lose money."
Kurenai was stunned and looked at Shizune with some disbelief. Seeing Shizune nodding, she suddenly felt that Tsunade's image in her heart collapsed.
…
Three days later.
Because of the merit of killing Sandaime Raikage, Sarutobi officially approved the promotion of Maples from Jonin to Elite Jonin.
There are a lot of Jonins in Konoha, but Elite Jonins account for less than one-fifth of them.
In the original story, Kakashi was an Elite Jonin during the Chunin Exam, while Kurenai, Asuma, and others were just ordinary Jonins, and there was a big difference in strength between them.
The so-called Elite Jonins are actually Captain Jonin.
Gathering an elite team of Jonins, the captain must be an elite Jonin.
In fact, Elite Jonins generally have other specific positions, such as Captain of the Intelligence Unit, Captain of the Guard, Anbu Captain, Deputy Captain, etc.
However, Maples didn't have other positions.
Sarutobi still didn't want to give Maples real power, because with Maples' prestige and strength, once he's in charge of a department, he will soon become like Danzo's root, almost like a private army.
Moreover, there are no vacancies for Captain positions in various departments, and Maples is too young, so it's reasonable for him to only serve as an Elite Jonin.
For this appointment, Konoha's ninjas, from top to bottom, didn't have any objection.
Maples is a ninja of the Hatake Clan.
Moreover, he had outstanding achievements and strength.
Even if he's still young, these are enough for him to serve as an Elite Jonin.
After promoting Maples to Elite Jonin, Maples also left the front line camp and went to the Rain Country.
…
A few days later.
Maples arrived at Konoha's camp.
"In a short time, you have reached this level, I didn't expect that I would be surpassed by my disciple, hahaha."
Orochimaru looked at Maples who walked into the tent with an evil smile, and there was a trace of emotion in his eyes.
Despite his expectations, Maples' growth speed was completely beyond his expectations, after leaving, he soared to the sky and killed Chiyo and Sandaime Raikage.
Chiyo was okay.
Sandaime Raikage, according to the information he knew, was a monster-level ninja. Being able to kill Sandaime Raikage, undoubtedly means that Maples' strength has reached the peak of the ninja world!
Only the legendary Uchiha Macula and the first Hokage Hashirama can surpass Maples.
"Without Sensei's guidance, I wouldn't be able to reach this level so quickly."
Maples walked to the side and looked at the map placed in the center of the tent and said: "What's the situation here now?"
"The situation is a bit difficult …"
Although he was in a difficult situation, Orochimaru didn't show any worry on his face, he still had an evil smile on his face as he said: "Hanzo and the Third Tsuchikage are both very dangerous people, I almost couldn't get away from them."
"But Maples, it's good that you came, with your strength, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to contain one of them, I and Danzo can deal with the other one."
