Chapter 185 New Appointment
Chapter 185 New Appointment
It is already autumn and the weather is starting to get cooler.
Especially in a place like the Kirigakure Village, which is shrouded in thick mist all year round, the climate seems particularly gloomy and cold.
In addition, as the Great Ninja War continued for a long time, the number of people receiving various commissions and coming to the Kirigakure Village to do business decreased significantly.
In broad daylight, there were few pedestrians on the street.
The whole village seems to have a more solemn atmosphere.
However, the Mizukage Building, as the absolute center of the Kirigakure Village, is as busy as before and there haven't been many changes.
"Boom boom boom~"
"Enter."
The door to the Mizukage's office was pushed open, and an ANBU member quickly walked up to the desk of the Third Mizukage.
"Third Mizukage-sama, battle report from the front line."
Upon hearing this, the Third Mizukage put down his work and took the battle report.
After opening it and reading it quickly, a long-lost smile appeared on the old face of the Third Mizukage.
Elder Genji asked upon seeing this.
"Good news?"
"That's right."
The Third Mizukage smiled and threw the scroll in his hand to the elder Genji. The expression on his face was good and could be seen with the naked eye. He also spoke.
"That Yagura kid did a good job this time."
Upon hearing this, the elder Genji also knew that the flying unit's first battle was probably very effective, otherwise the usually calm Third Mizukage would not have started praising Yagura before he had even finished reading the intelligence.
Then Elder Genji quickly glanced through the scroll and also smiled.
"I'm afraid Konoha will have a hard time this time."
The Third Mizukage nodded slightly.
"The flying unit played a very useful role this time. Inform the equipment department to connect with Daimyo as soon as possible. The aircraft carrier cannot be rushed, but the gliders must be produced as soon as possible and sent to the front line as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
After Elder Genji finished speaking, he paused for a moment and spoke with a sigh.
"It's a pity that we were unable to kill Tsunade this time, and the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were also..."
The Third Mizukage's expression calmed down a bit after hearing this, but he still made arrangements.
"The Twin Blades: Hiramekarei and the Blunt Blade: Kabutowari will be held by Kisame and Isaburo first, and they will temporarily fill the position of ninja Swordsmen. A suitable successor will also be selected from among the active jonin as soon as possible for The Great Blade: Samehada."
"As for the Explosive Blade: Shibuki, humph, Konoha will spit it out sooner or later."
"What about their identities as members of the Anbu?" Elder Genji added.
"For now, the two will retain their status as ANBU and will be under the direct jurisdiction of the front-line command center. Kisame will be promoted to Jonin."
Having said that, the Third Mizukage seemed to remember something. He tapped the table lightly with his fingers, put a smile on his face again, and looked at the elder Genji.
"Oh, and there's that medical Kid. Haha, this time both Yagura and Kushimaru mentioned him prominently in the information they sent back."
"Indeed, that boy Kaito has performed well this time. I was thinking of transferring him to the flying unit to gain some experience after he returns. Now it seems that this is a bit of a waste of his talent."
In fact, when the village had just formed a flying unit, Elder Genji had specifically looked for Kaito, wanting to find out whether his flying ability could be promoted.
After all, if it is a ninjutsu, even if it is difficult to learn, as long as a few flying unit commanders master this ninjutsu, the overall strength can be greatly improved.
Of course, the Kirigakure Village has not yet reached the point where it can seize the ninjutsu of the ninjas in the village by force, so there must be an exchange of interests.
It's a pity that Kaito's "Gale Wings" is not a ninjutsu at all, but an Ability.
Perhaps in the future Kaito might be able to study the principles of the 'Gale Wings' and transform it into a ninjutsu to teach others, but it is obviously not possible now.
After demonstrating it, the elder Genji attributed this ability to a bloodline limit ability that this kid had developed by arbitrarily developing ninjutsu. It was too random and not universal.
Kaito didn't know about the flying unit at that time, so he didn't take it seriously.
Of course, what Elder Genji said now about Kaito being unsuitable for flying unit was not because of this reason.
It was because of the powerful medical capabilities that Kaito demonstrated in this mission.
"The several medical ninjutsu used by Kaito kid during this mission were all excellent, and I guess these were new ninjutsu that the boy researched himself."
Upon hearing this, the Third Mizukage also agreed with what the elder Genji said.
"Well, judging from Kushimaru's description, it could be one or two S-rank medical ninjutsu."
Having said this, the Third Mizukage and the Elder Genji fell silent at the same time.
Kaito is only eleven years old now. Other ninjas at this age may still be just Genin who are scratching their heads and struggling to learn a C-rank ninjutsu.
This kid is actually able to independently develop his own S-rank ninjutsu.
"The young are really formidable." Elder Genji couldn't help but sigh.
Considering his age, it can be said that he has witnessed countless geniuses.
It can even be said that among those who can become jonin, which one of them is not a genius?
However, Elder Genji had never seen someone like Kaito before in his life.
The Third Mizukage was actually the one who least wanted to admit that "the young are to be feared", but in the end he still nodded, agreeing with what the elder Genji said.
"Elder Genji, how is the plan for the reorganization of the medical department and the integration of medical ninjas into management that I mentioned to you earlier going?"
After the Third Mizukage asked this, the elder Genji's face fell.
"Mizukage-sama, let's postpone the reorganization of the medical department. The two existing batches of medical ninjas have all been assigned to various teams. Rearranging the direct changes during the war will also cause unnecessary chaos."
"Besides, the main medical personnel on the front line are still those in the hospital. Keiko is managing it pretty well, so there is no need to make major adjustments for the time being."
In fact, what the Third Mizukage wanted to say was that the level of Kaito's medical ninjutsu was already so high that it was a little incomprehensible.
Should we take advantage of the reorganization of the medical team to let him be the director of the medical department? After all, the negative impact of Kaito's age problem in the logistics department will be smaller.
The elder Genji naturally understood the hidden meaning of the Third Mizukage's words.
However, this kind of wartime reorganization was not easy to do, and it also involved the subordinate relationship between medical ninjas and ordinary doctors.
If they are not careful, it may cause chaos and affect the operation of the front line. Elder Genji actually does not agree with this.
Moreover, Elder Genji knows more about Kaito and is also aware of his relationship with Nakamura Keiko. That kid may not want to take the position of director of the medical department.
Elder Genji was almost speaking directly.
"Keiko is doing a good job, why should we replace her?"
After thinking for a while, Elder Genji added another sentence.
"Besides, Kaito-chan is only 11 years old. It may not be a good thing for him to sit in the position of director directly."
The Third Mizukage also sighed.
"He is still too young."
Finally, the Third Mizukage no longer hesitated and made the decision directly.
"Transfer Kaito to the flying unit and promote him to jonin. As the squad leader of the aerial tactical special forces."
"Harusame will be also transferred out of the Anbu and will take on the position of Head of the flying unit."
Harusame is Fuku's real name. He is also a ninja who has the ability to fly, and he has a good relationship with Kaito. The Third Mizukage has good intentions.
Elder Genji had no more objections to this.
Given the character of the Third Mizukage, he wouldn't carefully protect a genius who appeared in the village. To be able to do this already showed that the Third Mizukage attached great importance to him.
After all the personnel appointments were discussed, the Third Mizukage finally spoke slowly.
"Yakura should have finished resting, right?"
Elder Genji did not answer.
Because the last line of the intelligence scroll clearly stated.
'The frontline headquarters plans to launch a general attack on the Konoha frontline camp immediately before Konoha's support arrives!'
