Naruto: Releasing Chakra Limits at the Start

Before Yoru could react, Kakashi laughed and said, "I also think Yoru should be promoted to Chunin."

Not all Chunin need to pass the Chunin Exams.

In reality, most of the Chunin or Jonin in each major ninja village do not undergo the Chunin Exams.

After all, given the elimination mechanism of the Chunin Exams, it would be impossible for each village to field that many ninjas during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Therefore, most Chunin and Jonin are promoted by completing a certain number of missions and reaching the required level of strength.

Of course, Yoru only carried out a few missions, and they were all low-level missions. Even if you include the mission in the Land of Waves, he only carried out one B-rank mission.

The number of tasks executed is far below the required level.

However, the Hokage has the authority to directly promote a ninja to Chunin or Jonin.

After all, the Hokage are among the strongest in Konoha.

He knows best how strong a ninja is.

Naturally, no one would doubt his strength and ability in promoting Chunin and Jonin.

Or rather, to be personally promoted by the Hokage is a great honor.

This means the Hokage thinks highly of you, and it also means that other factions in the village will realize who is backing you.

Minato Namikaze did the same thing back then.

A commoner ninja was able to marry Kushina Uzumaki, become Jiraiya's disciple, and be chosen by the Third Hokage to be the Fourth Hokage.

Besides his exceptional talent, Minato Namikaze was originally from the Third Hokage's lineage.

Of course, neither Yoru nor Kakashi cared about this.

Yoru didn't care who considered him one of their own, while Kakashi didn't care whether the Third Hokage regarded Yoru as part of his faction.

Kakashi himself was a member of the Third Hokage's faction.

He was a disciple of Minato Namikaze and had been part of the Third Hokage's faction from the very beginning.

He naturally agreed with the Third Generation's attempt to win over Yoru.

The Third Hokage initially intended to train Yoru as a second Minato Namikaze.

After all, Yoru and Minato Namikaze's situations are very similar.

He has extremely high talent, a very clean background, and is also Kakashi's disciple.

But now Ye Yu's growth has exceeded his expectations.

He was somewhat troubled about how to arrange things for Ye Yu.

After much deliberation, the only option left was to promote him to Chunin, making it easier for him to participate in Konoha's affairs later.

The third generation is now in his sixties, and by the time Ye Yu is twenty, he will be in his seventies.

At that time, he didn't want to retire, but his health wouldn't allow it.

After all, he doesn't have the physical attributes of the Senju clan. Even if he was very strong when he was young, his strength would decline drastically when he got old.

He had actually planned to step down before.

However, Konoha simply couldn't find anyone who could take over his position.

Jiraiya was unwilling, and their personalities weren't compatible.

Tsunade also has various problems.

Orochimaru was originally the most suitable candidate, but after he chose Minato Namikaze, Orochimaru was completely abandoned.

Furthermore, Orochimaru also defected from the village.

Should it be given to Danzo?

Putting aside the fact that Danzo was about the same age as him, the Third Hokage would never have allowed Danzo to become Hokage, given his ideology alone.

As for having even two advisors, that's even more impossible.

If these two hadn't been disciples of the Second Hokage, they wouldn't have been qualified to become Hokage advisors at all; their strength was completely inadequate.

There's only one left that's still somewhat possible: Kakashi.

However, after Kakashi's previous decline, his strength did not increase much. He was already relatively inexperienced, and without absolute strength as a backing, no one would respect him.

This is also the predicament that the third generation is facing now.

Even if he wanted to step down, he couldn't find anyone to take over.

But now when he sees Yoru, it's like seeing Minato Namikaze back then.

However, Yoru's experience is indeed very limited right now, far less than Kakashi's.

Since his seniority cannot be improved in a short time, the only way is to make his strength enough to overwhelm everyone.

First, we must raise his ninja rank so that he can participate in village affairs.

Yoru was unaware of what the Third Hokage was thinking; he simply assumed that the Third Hokage wanted to make him his slave as soon as possible.

However, Ye Yu was quite happy. He had originally planned to improve his ninja level so that he could take on more advanced missions, earn more money, and accumulate more practical experience.

If the Third Hokage knew what Yoru was thinking, he'd probably be furious.

He thought about it for a long time before deciding to train Ye Yu, intending for him to take over his job.

Yoru just thought that he could earn more money after being promoted to Chunin.

Yoru was stunned for a moment, then saw the Third Hokage looking at him.

Yoru asked, "But I've only completed a few missions, so I shouldn't be qualified to be promoted to Chunin yet, right?"

The Third Hokage smiled and said, "Indeed, but you possess the leadership skills and strength required to be a Chunin."

"Naturally, he can be promoted to Chunin."

No more doubts remained, and Ye Yu nodded, "Thank you, Hokage-sama."

The Third Generation was very satisfied after Yoru accepted the offer.

"Why are you thanking me? You should have been promoted to Chunin by now. In fact, if you hadn't graduated from the Ninja Academy less than a year ago, you should have been promoted to Jonin."

Yoru quickly waved his hand, "It's not that bad. It's already quite an achievement to be promoted to Chunin."

The Third Hokage looked at Kakashi and said, "Your teacher became a Chunin at the age of six. You should learn from him."

Kakashi quickly explained, "Back then, it was during wartime, and the circumstances were special."

"But only you have achieved this. Both you and your apprentice have extremely high ninja skills."

"I trust Kakashi to teach you, and the future of Konoha depends on you."

After the third generation finished speaking, Yoru felt speechless.

That was too harsh a statement. Ye Yu thought the Third Hokage was just being polite, but he felt that the politeness was too much.

Yoru said, "Lord Hokage, you flatter me. I can only do my duty."

Of course, Ye Yu meant it sincerely.

After being promoted to Chunin, he only planned to do what he needed to do, earn what he could earn, and live the life he could live.

He didn't want to get involved in other matters in Konoha.

Kakashi knew that the Third Hokage wouldn't let Yoru stay out of it.

Kakashi had already discerned the implied meaning in the Third Hokage's words.

Although I'm happy, I'm also a little worried.

Ye Yu is too young; involving him in high-level power struggles will not do him any good.

Even Kakashi himself was unwilling to get involved.

But he also knew very well that Yoru was different now. He had completely caught the Third Hokage's eye, and in Kakashi's eyes, Yoru's strength had reached the level of a Hokage.

Even if he didn't want to get involved, he couldn't possibly do it.

Kakashi sighed inwardly, "It seems I have no choice but to get involved."

In the past, Kakashi would naturally not have wanted to get involved in the power struggles of Konoha, but now that Yoru has been dragged into it by the Third Hokage, Kakashi has no choice but to follow suit.
