Chapter 340

Even if they were not at the scene, they could still feel the danger of the situation. Everyone present knew very well what an elite force of nearly 30 people meant.

Especially Danzo.

At present, the number of elites that Danzo has trained is only about 60 people, and the rest are still in the process of training, so they can't be regarded as elites. That is to say, Danzo can only take out two such elite troops.

Among the major clans, only the Uchiha Clan and the Hyuga Clan have such strength, the other small clans can't even fight against such an elite force.

Even.

Not to mention these small clans, even most of the small shinobi villages in the shinobi world can't gather such an elite force.

"…"

Sarutobi frowned slightly.

In this situation, I'm afraid that Dai's ability was used to reverse the situation. Once Dai's Hachimon Tonkou formation is used, the caster will die without a doubt. Losing such a special ninja and more than a dozen people in exchange for more than half of the Rock ninjas being injured … Although it's still a victory, it can't be considered a great victory.

"The ambush of the elite Rock ninjas put us in a difficult situation, and the casualties rapidly increased. In the critical situation, Hatake Kaede used some kind of self-created Lightning Release forbidden technique, and killed more than 30 Jonin and Jonin of the Rock ninjas, causing the ambush plan to completely fail …"

Speaking up to here.

The voice gradually disappeared.

The entire conference room also fell into silence.

Even Jiraiya, who has an unstable personality, showed a trace of surprise at this time.

Danzo, who has always been very calm, looked at Sarutobi's eyes with a hint of bewilderment, as if he was asking, "What are you talking about?"

"…"

Sarutobi also showed an unexpected look of surprise.

He was holding the intelligence scroll in his hand, and he was so stunned that he couldn't continue reading it. He was stunned until the end of the scroll, and finally saw the statistics of the battle.

33 people!

This is the number of Rock ninjas killed by Kaede!

Among them, there were a total of nine Jonin, including Red Earth and Frigidwinter, two elite Jonin of the Rock village who have a certain reputation in the Shinobi world!

In the silence.

Sarutobi slowly put down the scroll in his hand, and looked at the Anbu ninja who handed over the scroll, and said: "… This information, is it from the frontline?"

"Yes."

The Anbu ninja said in a deep voice: "The scroll was sent by Orochimaru's summon beast."

Then it should be true.

Sarutobi took a deep breath, Orochimaru's summon beast came from the Ryuchi Cave, so it is very difficult to disguise and impersonate it, and there is no point in trying to send such 'fake information'.

It wasn't Matt Dai who used a forbidden technique to reverse the situation, but Hatake Kaede, who is only ten years old, used some kind of forbidden technique to reverse the situation!

Shocking!

Unbelievable!

"… That must be White Fang's son."

Uchiha Fugaku sat on the side with his arms folded in front of him, took a deep breath and slowly opened his mouth, breaking the silence of the room.

Uchiha Fugaku has an impression of Kaede's name, after all, he is a young ninja who has been called a 'genius' recently, but it is only an impression.

The Uchiha Clan has never lacked geniuses.

A young boy who hasn't grown up, even if he carries the title of 'genius', is not worthy of too much attention from the Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan.

But now it is different.

If there is no problem with this information, then it means that Kaede is no longer a genius who hasn't grown up, but a ninja who is qualified to inherit the title of 'Konoha's White Fang'!

A ninja with such strength, even the Uchiha Clan can't ignore and ignore him.

"… Unbelievable, isn't he only in his teens?"

Hyuga Hiashi, who was sitting next to Uchiha Fugaku, couldn't help but take a deep breath and speak with a hint of shock in his voice.

Self-created Forbidden Jutsu!

Killing 33 Rock ninjas, nine of which were Jonin!

Even if there is some exaggeration in this record, and there were other Konoha Shinobi supporting him from the side, and it wasn't a one-on-one battle, it is still shocking enough!

Because for any ninja, this record is enough to make them famous. Konoha's White Fang, who was known as the hero of the past, almost became famous in the Shinobi world with such a battle!

And how old is Kaede?

"Ten years old, less than eleven years old."

Danzo retracted his gaze from Sarutobi Sarutobi, and a faint light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Unexpected!

Too unexpected!

Who would have thought that Kaede would have such strength at the age of less than eleven years old? If he had known earlier, even if he had used a more forceful attitude, he would have recruited Kaede to his roots!

Such a ninja, if carefully nurtured, would be an extremely powerful and handy tool, a trump card. Relying on such a ninja, one could accomplish many things!

What a pity …

Danzo felt a little regret in his heart.

Previously, he didn't pay enough attention to Kaede, so much so that Kaede slipped through his fingers and even became Orochimaru's disciple.

If he had a more forceful attitude and used more means, it wouldn't have been difficult to take Kaede away from Sarutobi Sarutobi, but now it's too late.

'If I can take advantage of the situation of the war, maybe I can … It's just that Orochimaru is a bit tricky, but I can use Sarutobi Sarutobi Sarutobi to solve it, but after the war …'

Danzo closed his eyes, not letting anyone see the change in his gaze, his mind was spinning rapidly.

Sarutobi Sarutobi pondered for a moment.

Raising his head, he looked at the Anbu ninja and said, "Convey my order, promote Kaede to the rank of a Tokubetsu Jonin, directly under Orochimaru, and can participate in the operation independently."

Kaede's strength and achievements are enough to qualify him as a Tokubetsu Jonin, but a Tokubetsu Jonin generally needs leadership, command, and the ability to judge the situation.

These aspects are still unknown to Kaede.

Before there is more information about Kaede's situation, promoting Kaede to the rank of a Tokubetsu Jonin, directly under Orochimaru, is the most appropriate choice.

"Yes."

The Anbu ninja nodded and disappeared from the meeting room.

Sarutobi Sarutobi looked at Jiraiya and the patriarchs of the major clans in the meeting room, and seeing that everyone was still immersed in the shock of the previous information, he paused for a moment and said, "Okay, let's continue to discuss the frontline troops."
