After Ryota returns home from the meatball shop, he starts to clean the house because he hasn't been back in years and the house is full of dust everywhere
After done cleaning the house, he get ready to go out to shop for daily necessities
Unexpectedly, he just came out of the house.
A figure jumped from the roof of the opposite building and landed in front of him.
"Minato?"
Ryota was slightly surprised to see Minato appear in front of him.
"Ryota, the Third Hokage wants to see you!"
Ryota understood why Minato had appeared in front of him when he said that. He also knows that the Third Hokage received news of his return as soon as he entered the village gate, but he didn't expect the Third Hokage to send Minato to ask to see him so soon.
Because he thought the Third Hokage would at least wait until the next day to send someone.
However, Ryota didn't mind going to see the third Hokage, so he agreed.
"Let's go, don't keep the Third Hokage waiting for too long!"
When Minato saw Ryota's approval, he quickly urged him on, and hurried to the Hokage building.
...
After running for a few minutes, the two finally reach the Hokage building.
Minato knocks on the door outside the Hokage's office, and after receiving a response, Minato enters, Ryota followed him .
"Hokage-sama!"
"Old man, why are you sending someone to see me so soon, don't you know I need some rest after rushing all day to get back to Konoha?"
The first is to greet Minato respectfully after entering the Hokage's office
The second is Ryota's question to Hiruzen Sarutobi with no respect in his tone
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyebrows twitched upon hearing Ryota's tone and the way he addressed him without any respect
But he didn't say anything to him, and it wasn't the first time Ryota had addressed him that way.
He attributes the reason Ryota addressed him that way to both Tsunade and Jiraiya.
Because the two of them also have no respect in their tone when they talk to him.
"Well do you know why Tsunade didn't come back with you?"
So Sarutobi Hiruzen shrugged it off, and asked Ryota why his student Tsunade hadn't returned.
"Well, Sister Tsunade does not intend to return at currently."
As for why he called Tsunade a sister?
That's because she forced him to say that to her
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed when hearing this, but he didn't continue the topic of Tsunade but started the topic that brought Ryota to him so he said, "I have a request for you, so I asked you to come see me."
"What request?"
Ryota asked with a puzzled expression.
In fact, on his way here, Ryota had expected that Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to see him so soon because he had something urgent.
Now, when he heard Sarutobi Hiruzen ask him for a request, he was curious as to what it was that he couldn't wait until tomorrow to ask him.
"I want you to lead a team."
"Hey, old man. Are you kidding me?"
Ryota pointed at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a confused face, knowing that the Third Hokage knows his lazy personality and that he has yet to join a team, and even the missions he has completed before have been solo.
So after hearing what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, he suspected he had heard wrong.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and said, "Well, it's not really a team but just a person."
"Huh, who is he?"
Ryota become curious.
Regarding the person who is qualified to specially put him in his own team or rather create a team for him alone with me
Not because he is arrogant, but because his situation is that he is a direct faction of the Third Hokage, and his strength exists, so not everyone is qualified to create a team with him
"Well it's Hatake Kakashi, son of Hatake Sakumo."
After hearing Kakashi's name, Ryouta understood, but he did not expect that Sarutobi Hiruzen would hand over Hatake Kakashi to him instead of handing him over to Minato.
He also heard about Hatake Sakumo's suicide while traveling, but he was not greatly affected because he did not know him.
Secondly, even if he knew him and tried to tell him something to prevent him from committing suicide, he would still commit suicide
He does not think he has a talent for convincing people, and convincing someone who is determined to commit suicide and even leave his son behind
Therefore, he was not greatly affected when he heard the news of Hatake Sakumo's suicide
As for the comment on Hatake Sakumo? He Don't think are qualified to comment on anyone because everyone has their own choices
"But I'm just a Chūnin, I don't have the qualifications to lead the team."
Although Hatake Kakashi's leadership aroused his interest a little, but even so, Ryouta did not directly agree.
Sarutobi Hiruzen knocked on the pipe in his hand and smiled gently: "In that case, what do you think of Minato recommending you to become a Jōnin?"
"Okay, whatever!"
Ryota spread his hands and sighed and agreed when he saw that Sarutobi Hiruzen was still insisting. For him, rank does not matter, what matters is strength. Look at Naruto and Sasuke at the end of the story.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was pleased after hearing Ryota's approval. Before, he tried to promote Ryota, but he did not agree. Now Ryota agreed and said quickly so as not to regret it: "But despite the availability of Minato's recommendation, you must pass the necessary test."
"Yes, I know"
Ryota answered.
Of course he knew what the necessary tests meant.
Even though you are promoted to Jōnin level, you do not need to pass paper exams like for Chūnin promotion.
However, one of two conditions must also be met to be promoted to Jōnin.
The first is the quantity and quality of tasks, which must be at a high level!
Because those who meet the standard all indicate rich experience and strong strength.
The second is to upgrade through Jōnin recommendation!
A recommended person not only needs to possess jounin power, but also needs to be recognized by the Hokage in order to be promoted.
To him, it is just a spectacle of following the rules because the Third Hokage knows that his strength has reached the Kage level
Even Naruto, in order to become Hokage, completed the tests and followed the regulations, even though his strength reached six paths, but he was also promoted step by step, following the rules.
So not only strong power is required when upgrading
There is also another reason why he agreed to become a Jōnin, which is that he also wants to experience Ultra Instinct and this opportunity to experience it when fighting with someone.
As for the percentage of leading Kakashi and joining his team when he is promoted to Jōnin? In any case, this matter does not make much difference to him, and he also has some interest in Kakashi
