it's been 1 month now and today is birthday of noir hatake but noir was returning from his mission it was intel gathering mission he was with Kakashi offcourse they entered konoha at 7 in morning and went to hokage's office
hokage : " come in , ohh Kakashi noir welcome so did you get any Intel on number of shinobi on suna's border did they increase or are same "
shikaku was also standing beside hokage
Kakashi : " there is no change in suna's border petrol there is no problem everything seems fine "
Hokage : " ok that's good news we also don't want any conflict , so noir i have seen your performance for more than year now , i was always confident in your strength but about your leadership qualities ??, what have you to say kakashi ?"
Kakashi and shikaku understood what hokage was going to do so kakashi said
Kakashi : " there are also no doubt in his leadership skills hokage sama he can be compared to jonin in both aspects i think it will be fine "
now how did Kakashi tested Noir's leadership skills when there are only both of them in team because hokage told Kakashi and noir that he needs to get experience then hokage will promote him to chunin Kakashi used to let noir do all the planning and execution of mission and when he used to lack somewhere Kakashi used to correct him
both shikaku and hokage nodded to kakashi's judgement , noir also knew where this was going
Hokage : " noir hatake from today onwards i sarutobi hiruzen , promote you as chunin with hokage's order , you don't need to participate in chunin exam from today onwards you are chunin of leaf village and happy birthday too , take vacation of 10 days then you can resume your duty as chunin " hokage said with smile
Noir : " thank you old man , but not to sound Ungrateful you could have promoted me into special jonin " noir said with sly smile
Both Kakashi and shikaku were stunned by Noir's boldness but they also knew that he had power to back his claim
Hokage : " well with you missions record and your strength you can be special jonin but i will hold that for now get some experience with solo missions too you have only performed squad mission with Kakashi , a jonins needs to be versatile so get some solo mission and keep you record good i will promote you to special jonin "
noir wanted to argue but then he also saw that hokage was right he never went on solo mission so kept it to himself
Hokage : " you can go noir "
Noir : " thanks old man and yes i will throw small party at yakiniku q you are welcome to come at 8 all my Academy friends will be there with Naruto , you too are welcome Kakashi sensei if you want to see yaa "
Hokage : " i will se if i can make it don't mind if i don't come "
Kakashi : " me too "
noir nodded and left hokage's office after noir left the room
Shikaku : " can't believe that brat is same age as shikamaru , but why did you promise him promotion of special jonin hokage sama , i know he has power to back it up but his body is not fully developed special jonin can take mission till low s rank those mission can easily kill him because of his body disadvantage , even Kakashi became jonin at 12 "
Hokage : " relax shikaku i have not promoted him i just promised him to motivate him to work harder and if he delivers results then what is problem promoting him to special jonin result will tell us if he is capable of handling himself in A rank and low S rank missions we will see about it in future
Kakashi are you going today if you are then we will go together "
Kakashi also nodded to hokage's hokage told him to rest for 10 days too it was 15 days mission so they were given big vacation
On the other side noir went to his home when he entered home Naruto was in main room and jumped on noir and said happy birthday to him
noir : " how did you know it was my birthday Naruto ?" noir asked with confused look because he never told anyone about his birthday other than official documents
Naruto : " ohhh that jiji came to meet me last night here i was preparing dinner for me then i offered him some food he was hesitant frist but after eating one bite he liked it and gave my cooking skill compliment and told me about your birthday " Naruto said with proud look on his face
noir smiled and then both of them talked for hours naruto did not went training that day because guy was out of town noir told Naruto to tell all their friend to come for party at yakiniku q Naruto was jumping with joy and then went to academy with good news to tell his friends
noir was sleeping in his bed when great sage spoke
<< Report second slime clone has arrived to house>>
noir got up from his bed again a ant came on Noir's hand and then vanished a lot of information appeared in noir's mind what happened during slime clone journy
slime absorbed number of corpses during its journey and to noir's suprise when his slime clone was searching orochimaru's hideout he found out place where orochimaru threw all the dead corpse noir's slime absorbed part of all the rotting corpses to not raise suspicion
"hey great sage can part of corps also increased chakra affinity ?"
<< Affermitive >>
" ahhaaa i found jackpot slime clone has atleast absorbed 900 samples , what the hell that psychopath is doing in laboratory killing 1000 peoples "
" so great sage what about hashirama cells can we integrate them with my body without any problem and not like Edo madara head bulging out of chest offf creepy "
<< Affermitive but it will take time >>
