Yuanfei RIzhan and Shimura Danzo were both born in the first five years of Wood Leaf. It was now the 38th year of Wood Leaf. They were both in their early forties. They were in the prime of their lives.
At this time, if there was a younger, stronger subordinate in Wood Leaf Village, who had accumulated enough merits to be Hokage or Elder Consultant, he could replace their position in Wood Leaf Village at any time. If Kato Mitsukaze was the leader, even if they were magnanimous, they would feel that something was wrong.
What, I'm not so old that I can't move, and you want to take over my position?
And Kato Mitsukaze also has a good relationship with Yuanfei RIzhan and Shimura Danzo. Under the influence of the salted fish power in his body, he was not a person who liked trouble so much.
Thinking about Kato Mitsukaze's style of doing things in Spring Base, being late and leaving early was a daily operation.
Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru were all addicted to prostitution, gambling, and drugs. Kato Mikaze wasn't any better. He was lazy, and he wasn't suitable to be a Hokage.
Kato Mitsukaze himself did not have the ambition to be Hokage. Originally, he wanted to push Tsunade to the position of Hokage, but because of his existence in this life, Tsunade's brother Shengshu was still alive and well. Tsunade's obsession with Hokage was not as deep as in the original work. Kato Mitsukaze's idea of pushing Tsunade to the position of Hokage faded a lot.
After the Second Shinobi World War II, the Third Shinobi World War was set off in a few years, and the Kyuubi attacked the village. Kato Mitsukaze had the idea of competing for the position of Hokage. It was better to study with Tsunade on how to quickly have a cute daughter.
By the way, Kato Mitsukaze can train his apprentice and brother-in-law Shengshu. When Shengshu grows up, whether he succeeds Yuanfei RIzhan as the Fourth Hokage, or succeeds Namikaze Minato as the Fifth Hokage, the time and age are just right.
Kato Mitsukaze told Kato Mitsukaze that the Second Shinobi World War II between Wood Leaf and Rock Village was over. In fact, what he didn't say was that the Second Shinobi World War II was basically over as well.
After dealing with the aftermath of the war with the Rock Village, Kato Yukaze wasn't ready to intervene too much in the war between Konoha, the Sand, and the Rain. The only thing left for him to do in the Second Shinobi World War was to help Tsunade deal with the Sand Puppet Master's poison as soon as possible.
A week later, Kato Mitsukaze received a report from his subordinates confirming that the Third Hokage, Onoki, had led the Rock Army out of the Rain Village's border. Only then did he completely relax his vigilance.
After that, Kato Yukaze arranged for his subordinates to rest in the Northwest Stronghold's main camp while he ran back to Wood Leaf Village to report to the Third Hokage, Yuanfei RIzhan.
Yuanfei RIzhan was very satisfied with Kato Mitsukaze's action of reporting to him as soon as he won the war. The two of them talked in detail in the House of Naruto for the entire afternoon. During this time, the Hokage's secretary heard Yuanfei RIzhan's hearty laughter many times.
No one knew what Kato Mitsukaze and Yuanfei RIzhan discussed in detail that afternoon. The next day, Kato Mitsukaze hurried back to the Northwest Stronghold's main camp and officially began his life as a salted fish in the Shinobi World War.
Of course, Kato Mitsukaze did not completely ignore the matters on the battlefield. But without Yuanfei RIzhan's personal order, he would never go to the front lines again.
Three months later, Kato Mitsukaze's three disciples were taking part in an assessment on the drill ground of the Northwest Stronghold's main camp. After years of training on the battlefield, Shengshu, Inuzuka, and Shimi had all made a lot of progress in their strength.
Shengshu and Shimi, who were slightly older, were already at the level of a Chunin. Inuzuka, who was the youngest, was also almost at the level of a Chunin.
In addition, Inuzuka's ninja dog, Kuimaru, had been trained by Kato Mitsukaze from time to time with his Sprite Breeding technique. Although it was still in its infancy, it could already speak the human language. Furthermore, its intelligence level was much higher than in the original work.
With Kuimaru's cooperation, Inuzuka's strength was not any weaker than that of an ordinary Chunin.
However, Shengshu and the other two were still officially Wood Leaf Genin. The promotion of a ninja in war was not as complicated and troublesome as it was in peacetime. In fact, with the military achievements that Shengshu and the other two had accumulated, coupled with Kato Mitsukaze's reputation, they could have been promoted to Chunin a long time ago.
Kato Mitsukaze had always suppressed his three disciples from promoting them to Chunin. There was no other reason other than to protect them.
After becoming a Chunin, they are generally the backbone of Konoha village, and they are the ones who can lead the team to fight in the war.
Today's assessment was the promotion test for Kato Mitsukaze's three disciples. Of course, the ones taking part in the assessment were Kato Mitsukaze's three disciples and other Wood Leaf Genin who had outstanding performances on the battlefield.
The scale of this assessment at the front line was very large and very meaningful.
This was also the reason why Kato Mitsukaze did not stop his three disciples from getting promoted this time.
If someone were to carefully observe these Wood Leaf Genin who were taking part in the Chunin Promotion test, they would realize that most of them were ninjas from the various Wood Leaf ninja clans. There were also commoner Wood Leaf Genin, but there were fewer of them than the ninjas from the ninja clans. However, it was not that small either. The number of ninjas from the clans and commoners was about 40 to 60.
On the rostrum on the drill ground, Yuanfei RIzhan had also personally rushed over from the Wood Leaf Village to participate in the Wood Leaf Chunin Promotion test. At this moment, he was narrowing his eyes and seriously watching the new generation of inheritors of the Will of Fire from the Wood Leaf Village below.
Kato Mitsukaze was also sitting on the rostrum. He was chatting casually with Akimichi Takeshi, the leader of the Northwest Stronghold's main camp, who was next to him. His mind was not on the assessment at all.
In fact, this assessment was just a formality. The Wood Leaf Genin who were taking part in the assessment had enough war merits to be promoted to Wood Leaf Chunin. No matter what the outcome of the assessment was, they would be directly promoted to Wood Leaf Chunin after the assessment.
The significance of this assessment was more to stimulate the morale of the Wood Leaf Ninjas. Since the Second Shinobi World War, Wood Leaf Village had defeated Rock Village and gained the initiative to fight against Sand Village.
But the Wood Leaf Ninjas at the bottom of the hierarchy were about the same.
At this time, a large-scale Chunin Promotion Ceremony in front of the battle could fiercely stimulate the morale of the Wood Leaf Ninjas who were already exhausted.
There was no need to elaborate on the specific assessment process. Everything was rehearsed, and the assessment was completed smoothly. After that, Yuanfei RIzhan personally presided over the Chunin Promotion Ceremony that followed. After that, he gave a speech on the topic of the Will of Fire, which gave the Wood Leaf Ninjas at the bottom of the hierarchy a great boost to the Will of Fire.
Kato Mitsukaze participated in the whole process and seriously accepted the baptism of Wood Leaf Village's Will of Fire. After that, Kato Mitsukaze continued to live his happy life as a fisherman.
