after one day--
Konoha Village Central Hospital——
It was just after eight o'clock in the morning, and the bright sunlight painted circles of golden and silver halos on the cyan leaves, and slipped in quietly through the transparent glass and thin curtains of the hospital. On the face of Chengye Qingxiu, who frowned tightly.
His arms, shoulders, and knees were all covered with white bandages, but they were just scratches on the flesh.
The trauma that the Land of Waves brought to him this time was mainly mental pain and exhaustion.
Cheng Ye slowly opened his eyes, and after a blur, what came into his eyes was the hospital's pure white ceiling.
Resisting the soreness that came from all over his body, he struggled to sit up, and when he turned his head and kept moving his stiff neck, Chengye saw his mother, Qianshou Hirako.
She was also wearing a johnin vest covered with dust and blood, lying on the foot of Chengye's hospital bed like this, falling asleep quietly.
Seeing her mother's exhausted appearance, Cheng Ye couldn't help but feel a little sore in her nose.
But unconsciously, he would remember all the things he had experienced yesterday, his breathing began to gradually become faster, and his head was aching like a needle stick.
Feeling Cheng Ye's movement, Qianshou Hirako tried her best to lift her heavy eyelids and opened her red eyes.
Seeing Chengye shaking his head from side to side with his eyes closed, Pingzi hurriedly stepped forward, held Chengye's cheek tightly with both hands, and asked anxiously, "Chengye, Chengye! What's the matter with you? "
Cheng Ye, who had endured severe pain, felt the temperature from his mother's palm, and gradually, the pain in his head receded like an ocean tide.
He opened his eyes to look, and looked at his mother's eyes silently.
Seeing his son still had some tender red eyes, Qianshou Hirako's inner guilt welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help saying: "Chengye, yesterday, mother..."
Cheng Ye, who didn't want to recall any more, interrupted her mother's words quickly, and tried her best to smile: "Mom, I'm fine, don't worry about it. I understand what happened yesterday, I understand your situation at that time, I was impulsive... .."
Looking at his son's forced smile, Pingzi put down his hands gently, and was about to say something when there was a hurried knock on the door.
After arranging his face a little, Hirako stood up and said calmly, "Come in."
A short-haired young male ninja walked in, dressed in Tsing Yi, with a branch mark of the Thousand Hands family on his left arm.
When he saw Hirako Qianshou, he immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Lord Hirako, Lord Hokage, please go to his office to report on the Battle of the Land of Waves."
Resisting the exhaustion that came from his body, Hirako replied succinctly, "I see."
Afterwards, she walked to Chengye's bed, lightly took care of her messy green hair, and said softly, "Chengye, rest well, mother is leaving, you know..."
Before Ping Zi finished speaking, Cheng Ye raised his head with a sunny smile and said, "I know, Mom, you've been very busy."
Hearing this sentence, Pingzi stopped the movement of his hand unconsciously, sighed softly, and finally glanced at Chengye, then turned and walked towards the door.
At this time, the short-haired ninja was still there and had no intention of leaving.
"Qianju Jiya, won't you come with me?" Hirako asked strangely.
"Oh, Lord Pingzi, I have to give this to Young Master Chengye." Zhi also quickly took out a set of clothes from behind him.
"Chunin vest! Zhiya, what does this mean?" Pingzi suddenly became nervous.
"That's it, Lord Hokage announced yesterday that Young Master Chengye was promoted to Konoha's Chunin, congratulations to Young Master Chengye." Chijuji also congratulated Chengye with a happy smile.
"Monkey, what the hell are you doing?" As soon as he said angrily, Qianshou Hirako disappeared in Chengye's ward in an instant.
Konoha Village Hokage Office——
A few seconds later, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was stretched out in Hokage's office, suddenly found a figure in his office.
After staring at it, he hurriedly stood up: "Lord Pingzi, your speed is really the same as before. I just sent Zhi to go there, and you will be here in a blink of an eye. You have worked hard, please take a seat."
"No more sitting, Monkey, tell me first, why did you promote Xiao Chengye to the position of Chunin? He's not even twelve years old!" Qianshou Hirako said coldly.
Sarutobi Hiizan unconsciously left a cold sweat on his forehead. His wife's temperament was usually gentle, but when it came to Qianshou Chengye, her temper immediately became abnormally hot.
He immediately explained with a smile: "Lord Hirako, you are also very aware of Chengye's current strength, the level of ninjutsu has already surpassed the C-level, and the tasks of the sub-ninjutsu level are no longer suitable for him. In the country of waves and the previous tasks , Cheng Ye's ninja qualities in other aspects have also been recognized by the village."
Wiping the cold sweat from his temples, he continued: "You know better than me that in this war in the Land of Waves, many of Konoha village's chunin were killed, and it is urgent to promote the ninja to fill the current vacancy of chunin in the village."
"Furthermore, given the current war situation facing the village, there is no extra time to hold the Chunin Examination, so I decided to promote Chengye, Saku Uchiha and others to the position of Chunin by exception."
After a crackling explanation, Hiruzen Sarutobi dried up his throat, and peeking at Chisho Hirako's expression, he hurriedly took a sip of water carefully.
The look on Qianshou Hirako's face changed for a while, and then she sighed slightly. She understood the talent dilemma faced by the village, but as a mother, she was really worried. In the battle, can Chengye guarantee his own safety at this time?
Afterwards, she bowed slightly and said, "Lord Hokage, please forgive your subordinate's rudeness just now, but there is still something unknown to your subordinate."
Sarutobi Hiizan's expression turned solemn, and he asked, "Lord Hirako, is that the order from the Land of Waves?"
Qianshou Hirako's eyes narrowed, and he nodded: "Yes, in that case, the village knew that Konoha's troops in the country of waves were insufficient, why did he order a frontal attack? Can't you consider giving up the country of waves? The lives of ninjas in the village are more important than those in small countries outside the country, and I believe you and I should have the same thoughts."
Senju Hirako will meticulously carry out orders on the battlefield, but this does not mean that as the wife of the second generation and the representative of the Senju family, she will not ask questions after returning to the village.
Hearing the words, Sarutobi Hizan hurriedly said: "When the order to attack was issued, in fact, the village has already received news that Yunyin is about to invade the Land of Water. And our consideration is: if Konoha receives the retreat order before they receive the order. At the time of the attack, it was very aggressive, and Kiriyin would choose to retreat quickly in order to reduce unnecessary casualties and save time."
"In this way, you can save the time you spend on returning to help, and keep the important strategic buffer zone of the Land of Waves." After speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes met the slightly narrowed eyes of Hiirako.
"Then what if the information you have obtained is false, or Kirigakushi chooses not to retreat? More than 40 Konoha ninjas are likely to be buried in the country of waves!" Chiju Hirako continued to question.
"Lord Hirako! Please don't question the village's judgment. I know I'm still very young, but Tobirama-sensei appointed me to sit in this position. At least you should trust his judgment!" Said with a majestic color with a slight anger.
Qianshou Hirako was startled for a moment. After a few seconds of silence, she bowed slightly and said, "Lord Sandaimu, please forgive your subordinate's rudeness just now. Now I will start to report to you the specific battle situation in the country of waves."
Seeing Hirako Senju's anger dissipated, Hiizan Sarutobi dared to sit down slowly and listened carefully to the battle report of the Country of Waves.
