Chapter 152 Promotion to Jonin and Meeting

Just when Qingming was practicing swordsmanship seriously, a figure suddenly came from afar and rushed over.

Seeing the person coming, Qingming stopped practicing swordsmanship in advance. When the person came closer, he bowed slightly and shouted, "Uncle!"

That’s right, the person who came was none other than the Uchiha Jonin who had confronted him twice.

The other party looked Qing Ming up and down, nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "I have read your mission report, and it was completed well."

Qing Ming did not respond and waited for him to continue.

Sure enough, he continued, "After three days of verification by the headquarters, we have confirmed that what you mentioned in your report is true.

Considering the difficulty of this mission and your experience, the command believes that you already possess all the qualities required of a jonin.

Therefore, in principle, I have agreed to your promotion to Jonin."

Hearing this, Qing Ming showed a hint of excitement on his face, although he was extremely calm inside.

Qingming knew very well that the so-called Jonin was just a title, and what really determined whether he could survive was his own strength.

As long as he has enough strength, it doesn’t matter if he is a Genin, can’t he still survive well?
Of course, being promoted to a jonin is not without its benefits. At least the tasks you perform are more flexible.

At the same time, there is also an opportunity to participate in the decision-making of major events.

After all, no matter which ninja village it is, the Jonin are the backbone.

Therefore, even if it is the Kage, if he wants to implement a certain policy, he must consider the opinions of the majority of the jonin.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through my mind, and I heard the Uchiha Jonin in front of me continue to say: "Get ready, tomorrow morning, the command center will hold a meeting to officially announce your promotion to Jonin.

At that time, all the jonin who don't have any missions will participate. This will give you a chance to get to know other jonin, and at the same time, it will also allow other jonin to get to know you."

"I understand, uncle!"

Qingming replied.

The Uchiha Jonin glanced at the surrounding land and trees covered with sword marks, and said, "From the looks of you, you are practicing, so I won't disturb you."

After that, he was about to leave.

Qing Ming hurriedly said: "Thank you, uncle. Take care!"

"Ah."

The Uchiha Jonin responded, and then with a 'flash body technique', he 'disappeared'.

"Meeting?"

Qingming looked at the back of the Uchiha Jonin as he left and murmured softly.

Standing there and thinking quietly for a while, Qing Ming stopped thinking about it, drew the dagger at his waist and continued his practice.

Time passes minute by minute.

In the blink of an eye, one day passed.

During this day, Qingming not only gained 134 points of proficiency in the 'Art of Reflecting the Heart', which also increased the evolution of the Sharingan by 134 points, but also gained more than 50 points to nearly 60 points of proficiency in 'Swordsmanship'.

Looking at the full harvest on the panel, Qingming closed his eyes with satisfaction.

Silent all night.

······
The next day.

morning.

Command.

In the conference room.

Qingming looked at the group of Konoha's senior ninjas, analyzing whether they were family ninjas or civilian ninjas, and also estimating their strength.

Although this unfounded speculation was meaningless, Qing Ming still did it.

There’s no other reason. I can’t just sit here and do nothing, right?
However, he did not get no information at all.

At the very least, he could see that most of the jonin in the field were family ninjas, and civilian jonin accounted for less than 40%.

Qing Ming was not surprised by this. The civilian ninjas had no inheritance and no resources, and it was too difficult for them to be promoted to jonin. If the number of civilian ninjas was not so large, they probably wouldn't even account for more than 30%.

However, what does this have to do with him? Qing Ming shook his head secretly and continued to observe everyone.

And while he was observing these Konoha jonin, these people were also observing him, watching him, the latest rising Uchiha genius.

There was calmness, curiosity, appreciation, fear, and so on in their eyes.

Qing Ming ignored their gazes and just sat there quietly.

A moment later, Orochimaru, the host of the meeting and Konoha's frontline commander in the Rain Country battlefield, walked into the tent.

His gaze lingered on Qingming for a moment, but he did not show too much surprise.

Qingming had anticipated this.

The current Orochimaru has not yet failed in the competition for the Fourth Hokage, nor has he been "instantly killed" by Uchiha Itachi's Sharingan, so he does not have such a deep obsession with the Sharingan.

Therefore, Qingming was not worried that Orochimaru would do something bad to him.

Sitting in the first seat, Orochimaru coughed lightly and announced the start of the meeting.

He only said: "There are two things in today's meeting. The first thing is that Uchiha Qingming has passed the assessment, and the village has decided to officially grant him the position of Jonin."

Bang bang bang~
A round of applause broke out, and all the jonin in the field applauded, whether they wanted to or not.

Orochimaru did not ask Uchiha Qingming to introduce himself or anything like that, because Qingming's basic information had already been sent to a group of senior ninjas, so there was no need to do that.

Likewise, he did not let other jonin introduce themselves, because that was something the Uchiha clan should do themselves.

After the meeting, the Uchiha clan's senior ninja will introduce these people to Qingming.

After the applause died down, Orochimaru continued, "The second thing is whether we should launch a counterattack against the Iwagakure Village.

I believe everyone has seen the relevant information.

Although the attack by the Hidden Cloud Village on the Hidden Rock Village ended in failure and the Third Raikage was killed in the battle, the loss of the Hidden Rock Village was also not small. "

Having said that, Orochimaru glanced at Qingming. Seeing this, the other Konoha jonin also glanced at Qingming who was sitting at the table.

Obviously, everyone knew where this information came from.

Qing Ming did not react at all to everyone's gazes. He just sat there quietly, as if he was in a daze?

That’s right, Qing Ming was indeed in a daze.

For some reason, as soon as the meeting started, he thought of some unpleasant experiences in his previous life, which made him lose interest at all.

If it wasn't inappropriate to leave now, Qingming would have wanted to go back and practice his "swordsmanship".

"So, should we take this opportunity to launch a counterattack against the Iwagakure Village?"

Orochimaru's voice continued to be heard, and everyone withdrew their gazes and began to speak in an orderly manner, some supporting and some opposing.

Those who support it believe that the Iwagakure Village’s front line is now empty, and they can take this opportunity to launch a counterattack and eliminate the Iwagakure Village’s manpower.

Those who oppose it believe that the overall military strength of the Iwagakure Village is still superior, and that they have just won a great victory, so their momentum is at its highest point.

Once their attack is blocked and support from the Iwagakure Village arrives, they will most likely end up losing more than they gain.

In short, whether you support it or not, both sides have their own reasons.

In the end, it is still Orochimaru, the commander-in-chief, who has to make the decision.

Orochimaru tapped the table with his fingers, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "I decide to attack!"

Hearing this, everyone had different expressions, but no one said much.

Orochimaru still has a very high prestige in everyone's mind. Once he makes a decision, others can only obey.

So everyone started discussing the attack again.

The meeting lasted nearly two hours, and only after basically everything was settled did Orochimaru announce the end of the meeting.

Then, he left the meeting room first.
