Just as Kato Mitsukaze and Tsunade were kissing passionately again because they were going to take up their post at the Northwest Stronghold's stronghold.
Around the same time, in the Fire Nation's Northwest Stronghold's stronghold, the camp's ninja leaders were having their daily meeting in a rather large conference room.
At this moment, the camp's leader, the veteran Wood Leaf Village Jounin Akimichi Takeshi, was sitting at the head of the conference room and giving a concluding speech.
"… In a few days, the camp's new deputy leader and second staff officer, Kato Mitsukaze, will officially take up his post."
When he mentioned the deputy leader and Kato Mitsukaze's names, Akimichi Takeshi looked up at the white-haired ninja sitting in the corner of the conference room.
"Prepare everything that needs to be prepared. Go ahead and purchase whatever you need. Just follow my standards of remuneration. If you don't have enough funds, come to me for approval."
The camp's Minister of Interior answered, "Yes, Leader."
"That's all for now. If there are no other questions, the meeting is adjourned. You can all go about your own business."
Akimichi Takeshi took one last look at his subordinates in the conference room before adjourning the meeting.
"Yes, Leader."
Instantly, the conference room was filled with the responses of the Wood Leaf ninjas from the various camps. Then there was the sound of chairs scraping against the floor.
Hatsuki Shigeru, who was sitting alone in the corner, got up and left his seat when he heard Akimichi Takeshi adjourn the meeting. He carried his white saber that had never left his hand and walked to the door of the conference room alone.
Hatsuki Shigeru was preparing to take a look around his own district. He was a little worried about the safety of his district. The situation near the camp had not been peaceful recently, so Hatsuki Shigeru would not feel at ease if he did not personally visit his district every day.
"Hatsuki, wait a moment. I have something to say to you."
Akimichi Takeshi, who was sitting at the head of the conference room, called out to Hatsuki Shigeru, who was about to walk out of the conference room.
When the other Shinobu Kiba in the conference room saw that their leader was obviously going to speak to Hatsuki Shigeru in private, they hurriedly left the conference room and got ready to go about their own business.
When some of the Wood Leaf ninjas left, they secretly looked sympathetically at Hatsuki Shigeru, who was standing by the door of the conference room.
It was not because they were sympathetic for him, but because they felt sorry for Hatsuki Shigeru.
During the regular Jounin meeting just now, everyone had heard from Konoha's higher-ups about the appointment of personnel to the Northwest Stronghold's stronghold headquarters from Akimichi Otsumi.
Hatake Sakumo's chance to be promoted on the spot was gone.
. and's colleagues's's's.. Hatsuki Shigeru's's''s's was's's'. was Taka Taku ''s's' ''s was his his was. his''s'
Hatsuki Shigeru turned a blind eye to the sympathetic gazes of his colleagues. After the other Shinobu Kiba left, he walked back to his seat in the corner.
"Sir, do you have any other orders for me?"
"Qimu, there's only the two of us here now. You don't have to address me as' sir 'so rigidly. Just call me' senior 'will do." Akimichi Takeshi looked at his rigid subordinate and felt a headache coming on. "Also, you don't have to sit so far away from me. It's not like there aren't any seats here. Come closer."
"Sir, etiquette is important."
When Hatsuki Shigeru heard that, he moved to a seat closer to the front. However, he still addressed him as' sir '.
He could change his seat in private, but to Hatsuki Shigeru, addressing his superior as a form of respect was a matter of principle.
"Alright, you can address me however you like." Akimichi Takeshi couldn't do anything to the rigid Hatsuki Shigeru. "It's not about the mission. It's about your promotion this time. I want to talk to you about it."
Akimichi Takeshi had nothing to say to Hatsuki Shigeru, a junior under his command.
Apart from his personality, Akimichi Takeshi was very optimistic about Hatsuki Shigeru in terms of strength, conduct, work, and other aspects.
This time, Hatsuki Shigeru had the opportunity to be promoted. Akimichi Takeshi had strongly recommended Hatsuki Shigeru. Unfortunately, he still couldn't pass the test of the Wood Leaf senior advisory elders.
In Akimichi Takeshi's eyes, Hatsuki Shigeru was a classic Wood Leaf ninja. With proper training, he would definitely grow into a new pillar of support for the Wood Leaf Village.
"… Because of your personality, the village elder strongly opposed the proposal to promote you, so it didn't pass."
Akimichi Takeshi looked at the junior opposite him and finished talking about the news he heard from the Wood Leaf Village advisory elders' meeting through his family's channels.
It wasn't that Akimichi Takeshi was a gossipy person, so he wanted to inquire about the gossip in the meeting. He had to find a way to know the specific reason why his nomination was rejected by the superiors.
The rejection of the nomination was a small matter, but if the superiors had a problem with him, it would be a big deal.
Fortunately, Akimichi Takeshi heard that the nomination was rejected, and it wasn't because of him. But after knowing the specific reason why his nomination was rejected, he also felt a little helpless.
Hatsuki Shigeru's personality was flawed, and Akimichi Takeshi knew it.
Hatsuki Shigeru didn't have a good relationship with the other colleagues in the camp, so Akimichi Takeshi didn't think it was a big problem. But if the superiors really wanted to hold on to this problem, Akimichi Takeshi couldn't say much to refute.
The superiors refuted that Hatsuki Shigeru's personality was problematic, and that he didn't have a good relationship with others. After all, it was a fact, and the higher the position, the higher the position, the more helpless it was.
This was why Akimichi Takeshi had a private conversation with Hatsuki Shigeru. In addition to comforting Hatsuki Shigeru, Akimichi Takeshi wanted to persuade his subordinates to change their interpersonal relationships as much as possible.
After Akimichi Takeshi told Hatsuki Shigeru the reason why his nomination was rejected, he began to earnestly persuade Hatsuki Shigeru to change his personality.
In order to persuade Hatsuki Shigeru, Akimichi Takeshi also used Kato Mitsukaze as an example.
Kato Mitsukaze and Hatsuki Shigeru were born in the same year. They were both young, strong, and promising.
Kato Mitsukaze was promoted to Jonin more than half a year before Hatsuki Shigeru. Now, in the promotion competition for the same position, Kato Mitsukaze won over Hatsuki Shigeru.
Akimichi Takeshi didn't have any opinion about Kato Mitsukaze, but he felt that it was a pity that Hatsuki Shigeru missed this promotion opportunity. After missing it, he didn't know how long he would have to wait for such a good opportunity.
Hatsuki Shigeru sat there, listening to his direct superior's earnest persuasion on the surface, but in reality, his mind had already run to his own jurisdiction.
Compared to these persuasion, Hatsuki Shigeru was more concerned about the safety of his own jurisdiction, similar to Akimichi Takeshi's persuasion. He had heard it countless times, and most of the time, he heard it from the same person, and that person was Kato Mitsukaze.
Listening to Akimichi Takeshi mention Kato Mitsukaze's name, Hatsuki Shigeru recovered a little. In his eyes, Akimichi Takeshi, who was persuading him, turned into Kato Mitsukaze.
In Hatsuki Shigeru's impression, Kato Mitsukaze seemed to have persuaded him like this before.
