The next day, Wood Leaf, High Level Meeting Room.
This was a small room, the design of the room was very strange, there were no windows, so the sun couldn't shine in, only the dim light kept the room bright.
But at this moment, in this room, there were four people sitting around a wooden table, three men and one woman, all of them were middle-aged people around forty years old.
Two of them, one was wearing a Naruto robe, there was a natural majesty in his eyes, he was the third Naruto, Sarutobi.
There was also a man, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, his face was particularly gloomy, he was one of the leaders of Wood Leaf.
The remaining two middle-aged people, the middle-aged man was wearing a pair of glasses, and the woman had her hair in a bun, both of them were obviously in a high position.
These two people were the other two elders of Wood Leaf, they were also the leaders of the village, Mitokado Homura and Koharu Utatane.
At this time, Sandaime stared sharply at the remaining three people, he was obviously angry, he kept talking about the recent situation of Wood Leaf's forces.
The focus was on the two battles with the Rock and the Sand.
When Sandaime talked about all the details of the war, his eyes were full of anger, and the remaining three people of Wood Leaf naturally understood the meaning behind it.
It wasn't difficult to determine that the ambush of the Sand on Wood Leaf's reinforcements was caused by the leak of information.
And this information, in addition to Sandaime Naruto, only the other three leaders of Wood Leaf, including Sarutobi, who was the leader of the reinforcements, knew about it.
"Sarutobi, you mean that there is a traitor among us, this is impossible!"
Koharu said as she patted the wooden table in front of her. Together with the Third Hokage, they were once close subordinates of the Second Hokage. It was because of this that they reached their current position step by step.
As the leaders of Wood Leaf, they have done a lot for the village, how could they do something that would harm the interests of the village and harm the Ninjas of Wood Leaf?
Mitokado Homura pushed his glasses and said: "Naturally, it's impossible that there is a problem among the leaders, maybe the dead Sarutobi betrayed the village, or maybe he leaked the information to the Sand spies in the reinforcements …"
His words were full of Wood Leaf's leaders, it was impossible for there to be a traitor among them.
Sandaime just listened to them quietly and didn't say much. When the two finished, Sandaime's eyes fell on the silent Danzo and asked: "Danzo, don't you have anything to say?"
Danzo's eyes didn't change, as usual, he looked at Sandaime and said: "Since you are the third Naruto, you are responsible for the war, and since there was a leak of information, of course, you are also responsible. Do you want to put the blame on the three of us?"
His words made Homura Mitokado and Koharu Koharu break out in cold sweat.
But the Sandaime was extremely calm as he said, "I will naturally shoulder my responsibility, but I hope that something like this will not happen a second time. As for who leaked this information, I will personally investigate!"
Sandaime's words sank, and his eyes swept over the three elders. Under his gaze, the three of them were defeated and nodded.
"In addition, do you have any objections to my plan to reward the Wood Leaf Army?" Sandaime continued with today's meeting.
Danzo said again: "That kid called Minato Watergate graduated from the Ninja Academy less than half a year ago, and you want to promote him to a Tokubetsu Jonin, isn't this a bit unreasonable?"
Mitokado Homura and Koharu also agreed. After all, Watergate is too young, and although a Tokubetsu Jonin isn't a Jonin, it's still higher than a Chunin. In the history of Wood Leaf, there has never been a case of promoting a Tokubetsu Jonin to a Tokubetsu Jonin.
"Elder Danzo, I want to correct you. Although Watergate did graduate from the Ninja Academy six months ago, he became a Genin a year ago. This was personally requested by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. You all know this, right?"
After the Tang No Guk mission, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire personally visited the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and asked for a reward for helping the Yukinomura to defeat the Jashin Shinobi during the Tang No Guk mission. The Daimyo of the Land of Fire personally visited the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and asked to reward the Wood Leaf Shinobi who helped the Yukinomura defeat the Jashin Shinobi.
Especially Watergate, because of his performance, they successfully killed the scourge of Kuriyama Shinzo, so the Daimyo of the Land of Fire personally ordered the promotion of the nine-year-old Watergate to a Wood Leaf Genin.
"Even so, a Genin and a Tokubetsu Jonin are two completely different concepts. A boy who is less than eleven years old is taking on this position, isn't it difficult to convince the other ninjas?" Danzo continued to say, and the reason is that Watergate is still too young.
However, hearing his words, Sandaime smiled and said, "In two battles, he killed a total of six Jonin and nineteen Chunin, and helped Sho Sho and Orochimaru to force Elder Chiyo of the Sunagakure to retreat. This kind of achievement is difficult to achieve, but since it was done by a boy who is less than eleven years old, why can't he be a Tokubetsu Jonin of the Wood Leaf Shinobi?"
"In the world of ninja, strength is everything. Even if he is only seven years old today, Watergate's achievements are enough to support his promotion to a Tokubetsu Jonin."
"As for the feelings of the other ninjas, you don't have to worry at all. This is the joint request of Hatake Sho Sho, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and several other representatives of Wood Leaf Shinobi. It's not my decision."
Sandaime said, and the anger in his heart calmed down a little. Watergate's performance on the battlefield is far beyond his previous expectations.
No one could have imagined that this little fellow would actually grow so quickly.
"In that case, we have no objection."
Koharu and Homura had nothing to say. If this boy did all these things, regardless of his age, he is indeed worthy of the position of a Tokubetsu Jonin.
After all, without him, Wood Leaf will not only lose reinforcements and Sho Sho, but also the entire frontline force.
The implications of what he had done were too great.
Seeing that the other two agreed, Danzo didn't agree, but it was useless.
The decision making ratio of three to one among the four elders was more than enough.
"I agree."
Danzo gritted his teeth and said, and at the same time, he began to pay attention to this boy who was not much of a threat to him.
Because if he didn't mess things up, my plan might have succeeded …
