The next morning, Cold Wind got up early, washed his face, and then ran to the Naruto building to wait for the announcement.
After a while, Gekko, Gekko, Gekko, and Gekko also arrived.
After a simple greeting, the four waited together. After that, more and more genin gathered around. Cold Wind looked around and didn't find Hyuga Shigai, he was a little disappointed.
At seven o 'clock sharp, the Anbu appeared on time and posted the list of Chunin on the bulletin board.
Other people looked for their names from top to bottom, but Cold Wind didn't do that, he directly looked from bottom to top … He didn't need to go up, he was the last one.
"I became a Chunin!"
"I also passed!"
Moonlight Cool Breeze and Moonlight Snow quickly found their own names. They looked at each other, their faces filled with joy.
"I saw Cold Wind's name."
"Why isn't Koyama's name?"
After the two found their names, they looked for Cold Wind and Gekko's names, but unfortunately …
"I failed the promotion." Gekko looked at Cold Wind with some grief and anger.
Cold Wind looked at him and said: "Brother, failure is not terrible, just get used to it."
Gekko was angry: 'What are you talking about?!'
"Cold wind, congratulations on your promotion to Chunin."
Suddenly, a slightly hoarse voice came from behind Cold Wind, he turned around and his heart suddenly stopped.
Danzō Shimura?!
"Danzō -sama."
Cold Wind cursed in his heart, but his face was full of cheerful smile, "Long time no see, Danzō -sama."
Facing Cold Wind's greeting, Danzō just nodded lightly and said: "I have something to say to you, come with me."
Danzō turned around and walked towards the Naruto building, his back was full of sacred and inviolable majesty.
Cold Wind narrowed his eyes and turned to Moonlight and Cool Breeze. He then followed Danzō into the Naruto Building.
The two of them went up to the second floor one after the other and arrived at a small conference room. The conference room was only a dozen square meters in size and had simple furnishings. There were only two sofas and a table.
After Danzō sat down, he motioned for Cold Wind to sit opposite him.
"Lord Danzō, what do you want to talk to me about?" Cold Wind couldn't help but ask as he felt uncomfortable all over after sitting down.
"It's about your choice after you become a Chunin." Danzō lowered his eyebrows and spoke in a deep voice. "I intend to invite you to join Root!"
"Root …"
Cold Wind showed a flash of surprise.
In his previous life, at least eight out of ten detective TV shows would mention this, saying that a person's surprise, shock, disbelief, and other expressions would only appear for a moment. If that person maintained this expression for a long time, there was no doubt that it was fake!
Cold Wind had seen so much, so he naturally wouldn't make a mistake in such a small matter.
"Lord Danzō, what is Root?" Cold Wind asked solemnly.
"Root …"
Danzō raised his eyes and said with a bewitching tone. "If a Wood Leaf is a flourishing tree, then Naruto is a branch bathed in the sun, and Root is the root buried deep in the ground!"
Cold Wind nodded as if he didn't fully understand, then he decisively shook his head: "Fourth Aunt, Lord Danzō, I have already promised my father to join the Anbu!"
Danzō shook his head: "Cold Wind, even if you join the Anbu, you won't be in an important position."
Won't be in an important position?
Cold Wind looked at Danzō suspiciously, he felt that Danzō was trying to fool him, but he also felt that Danzō might know something in advance, in short, this feeling was very uncomfortable.
"What does Danzō -sama mean?" Cold Wind asked.
"Do you still remember the village extermination incident a year ago?" Danzō showed a cold smile. "At the time, Uchiha Fuken was escorting a criminal and was attacked, after that, you and Waterstop went out of the village to investigate, the result …"
As a result, the village that Cold Wind investigated was killed by Danzō.
After Cold Wind and Waterstop came back, Sarutobi originally wanted to investigate, but Danzō stopped him, so this matter was over.
At this moment, Danzō mentioned it again, naturally, he wanted to let Cold Wind understand that because of the village extermination incident, Sarutobi won't put Cold Wind in an important position!
Cold Wind's heart was twisted, but his expression was innocent: "Danzō -sama, that incident wasn't done by me and Waterstop!"
"But Sarutobi won't believe it."
Danzō sighed slightly, and said in a sad tone: "The Sarutobi I know is an idealist, no matter what he does, he strives for perfection, no matter what decision he makes, he must have a good reason! I don't know why Sarutobi wants you to join the Anbu, but the only thing I can be sure of is that as long as the truth of the village extermination incident is not known, you will always be suspected, Sarutobi won't trust you, and you will never be put in an important position! Joining the Anbu will only waste your talent! "
Listening to Danzō's eloquent words, Cold Wind almost believed it!
However, Cold Wind's inner thoughts were perfectly hidden under his handsome body, his face showed a hesitant and confused expression, and finally gritted his teeth: "Danzō -sama, I, I still want to join the Anbu, I believe that Naruto -sama will put me in an important position!"
Danzō looked at him and thought that he had planted a seed of doubt in Cold Wind's heart, so he no longer forced him, he nodded and said: "In that case, I respect your choice, but … if you change your mind, you can come to me at any time."
After that, Danzō got up and left.
Cold Wind sat on the sofa with a sad face, he didn't know if there were any Anbu or Root around, but he had to make such an expression, so that they could 'see' the flaws in his heart.
After a while, Cold Wind took a long breath and left the small conference room.
As soon as he went out, he saw an Anbu wearing a pig mask.
Cold Wind's heart moved: Is your code name Peppa?
"Moonlight Cold Wind, Naruto -sama wants to see you!" Peppa Pig said.
"I know."
Cold Wind took a deep breath and followed the Anbu to Sarutobi's office.
In the office, in addition to Sarutobi, there was another person, wearing an Anbu uniform, carrying a sword, and wearing an eagle mask.
"Naruto -sama."
Cold Wind respectfully asked.
Sarutobi nodded, while smoking his pipe, he looked at Cold Wind, he knew that Danzō went to Cold Wind, but he didn't say anything.
Because of the information about The Abyss, Sarutobi didn't tell Danzō about it, so Danzō has been worried about the defection of Blue Suigetsu on the Three Sun and Moon Island. He wanted to pull Cold Wind into the Root because of this.
"Cold Wind, first of all, congratulations on passing the Chunin exam, officially promoted to Chunin!"
Sarutobi said and took out a ninja certificate and handed it to Cold Wind: "This is your new certificate."
Cold Wind took the brand new ninja certificate and opened it. Nothing else changed, only the ninja level changed from Genin to Chunin.
Cold Wind showed a chuunibyou smile, then handed over the old certificate and said: "Thank you, Naruto -sama, I will continue to work hard!"
Sarutobi nodded, his expression gradually became dignified: "The second thing, I received a letter of recommendation from your father, are you … ready?"
My father's letter of recommendation?
Han Feng nodded tacitly, "Yes, I'm ready! Naruto -sama, I want to join the Anbu!! "
