Blacksmith From Hokage

Cangji looked at the purple shadow that was getting further and further away, touched the place where his cheek was kissed, and smiled involuntarily.

This feeling is not bad.

After locking the courtyard door, Cangji walked onto the street.

There are more pedestrians on the road, but they all seem to be in a hurry.

The reconstruction after the war made everyone busy.

However, everyone smiled and said hello after seeing Kuroyoshi.

He used Wood Style to wipe out the enemy as if a god came to the world, and was deeply imprinted in the hearts of every villager.

He is now Konoha's hero.

Kuroyoshi also responded with a smile to everyone, appearing very sensible and polite.

Suddenly, a green figure suddenly stopped in front of him.

"Oh, boy who uses Wood Style, good morning!"

The man gave him a big thumbs up with a big smile, and by the way, he lit the teeth of White Fang, which could pierce the eyes of people and dogs.

"Mr. Guy, what's the matter?"

Kuroyoshi was polite with a slight smile on his face.

"I'm here to thank you."

"Thank me?"

"Yes!" Guy stood upright with his hands on his hips, with a cheerful smile on his face, "You were merciful to my disciple Xiao Li in the previous qualifiers, and you made a timely shot on the battlefield yesterday to help me solve it. Has a big trouble."

"big trouble?"

Kuroyoshi was a little puzzled.

He remembered that Guy’s opponent was Baki. Although he was a very tricky guy, he didn’t deserve to be called a big trouble.

It seems that I can see Kuroyoshi’s doubts and can explain: "In addition to Baki, there was another Otonin named Yu Qi who was besieging me at the time. Although his strength was very good, his ability was very troublesome. He cooperated with Baki to attack. Annoying too much."

After that, he added: "Fortunately, you suddenly emerged from the ground and killed it easily."

"So that's it!" Kuroyoshi suddenly said, "However, there is nothing to be thankful for. Everyone is Konoha's ninja and companions, aren't they?"

"Nevertheless, I still have to thank you very much. This is a thank-you gift."

With that said, Guy took out a bag of things from behind.

Kuroyoshi took a look, and the corner of his eyes jumped unnaturally, "Uh, let's forget it, thank you, this is too far-fetched."

"No, no, this is my intention, please accept it."

"No, no, you are too far off."

After the two hurried, Kuroyoshi finally couldn't match Guy's enthusiasm, and accepted the green tights.

Seeing Kuroyoshi accepting the gift, Guy smiled contentedly, "Then, I'll leave."

"Wait a moment."

"What's wrong?"

"You have something on your head, let me remove it for you."

As he said, Kurayoshi stretched out his hand and tugged on Guy's head, and suddenly pulled a bunch of hair down, and Guy screamed in pain.

Kuroyoshi quickly apologized, "Sorry, I tried too hard."

"It's okay, just a little hair, then, boy, see you next time!"

After that, Guy ran away in a hurry.

Looking at the back of the long dust dragon, Kuraki yelled at him, "My name is Kuraki, and Mr. Guy will call me Kuraki in the future."

"OK!"

Guy replied without looking back, and then disappeared into his field of vision.

"Guy is such an interesting person!"

Kuroyoshi couldn't help but smile, put Guy's hair and clothes away, and continued to walk towards the Hokage building.

No other episodes happened this time.

Kuroyoshi came to the Hokage building smoothly.

Third Hokage sat behind the desk as usual, as if everything was the same as before, except that his face was much haggard.

His body can no longer support Hokage's work intensity, but before the new Hokage is selected, he can only do it for a while.

There are a lot of people in the office.

Various clients and the ninja squad who came to accept the entrustment.

Before, in order to prevent the conspiracy of Otonin and Sand Shinobi, all the returning ninjas stayed behind Konoha. Over the past month, there have been a lot of tasks that no one has done.

Now, the war is over.

The tasks piled up before were also spread out all at once, and there was a serious shortage of manpower.

Kuroyoshi waited for the people in front to finish the matter before going up.

But before the purpose he proposed, Sarutobi preemptively said: "Kurayoshi, your performance on the Chūnin exam is very good, enough to prove that you can stand alone. I now officially appoint you as Chūnin."

"Of course, the village is seriously understaffed, so you can't continue to go back to Class 7 to do chores. Let me see which team you will be transferred to."

With that said, Sarutobi took out the ninja formation sheet and turned it over.

Looking at the busy old man in front of him, Kuroyoshi hesitated, and still said, "Grandpa Hokage, I'm here to apply for a village permit from you."

"Permission to leave the village!?"

Sarutobi was stunned, and asked, "Are you leaving the village?"

"That's right." Kuroyoshi took a deep breath and said, "This war has made me feel my weakness deeply, so I want to go out and practice."

"No." Sarutobi refused without even thinking about it. "Now that the village is so busy, it is precisely when there is a shortage of manpower that you have to choose to leave. Isn't this adding to the chaos?"

"Even if I have one more person, it will not solve the shortage of manpower in the village." Cangji insisted.

Looking at Kurayoshi with a firm gaze, Sarutobi took a deep breath, "Do you have to leave now?"

"Yeah!" Kuroyoshi nodded firmly.

"Huh!" Sarutobi took a big puff of cigarette, and then spit it out fiercely, "To tell you the truth, your performance yesterday was targeted by some unruly guys. I hope you don't leave the village for some time."

"Some crumbs, I can still deal with it." Kuroyoshi said lightly: "Although I feel weak, most people are weaker than me. The Fourth Kazekage, and the subordinate of Orochimaru, were beaten by me a few times. That's it."

"..."

Sarutobi was speechless.

Indeed, in terms of combat power, Kuroyoshi may be the strongest in this village.

However, the victory of a ninja is not only a matter of combat power, but also many other key factors.

"Of course I don't doubt your strength, but many things can't be solved by strength. You need a full range of qualities." Sarutobi said: "If you can prove that you have Jōnin's comprehensive qualities, I will I promise you that you will leave the village to travel and practice."

"Is Chūnin's performance in the exam not enough?"

"Not enough, in addition to your outstanding combat power, other aspects are at best Chūnin-level performance."

Kuroyoshi pondered for a while, and said: "The most direct proof of Jōnin's comprehensive quality is to perform tasks of A-level or above alone, just use task performance to prove it!"

"Do you understand what I mean?" Sarutobi looked serious. "I just want you not to leave the village recently. What's the point if you use tasks to actually test?"

"So, why don't you just let me leave the village?"

"no!"

"I must leave!"
