Chapter 13

"This Jonin meeting has nominated a total of five quotas for promotion to Jonin."

"Still the same old way, three for me, one for Hozuki, one for Maeda."

"Next, let everyone vote; those who have opinions can bring them up."

Mizunuki Taki looked at all the Jonin present with a smile, his aura as kind as usual.

To become a formal Jonin, besides having one's achievements and strength recognized, one must also get the approval of more than one-third of the participating Jonin at the Jonin meeting.

"Cough, cough."

"Maeda, read the names."

After coughing low, Mizunuki Taki said to the Jonin Class Leader Maeda beside him.

Although the stance of this Jonin Class Leader had always been wavering, he would not go against the Mizukage's face in such a small matter.

"Miyake Daishi, Kato Ichiro, Hara Hideyori, Jiang Zhishu, and Mizunuki Ryosuke."

"Now start voting separately; those who have opinions on the above quotas can bring them up."

Maeda Yuanshi said in a dignified voice.

When they heard the name Mizunuki Ryosuke, a flash of essence flashed in the eyes of all the Jonin present.

This was not because Mizunuki Ryosuke was famous within the Hidden Mist.

But one could think with their butt that they knew the relationship between Mizunuki Ryosuke and the Third Mizukage.

"Hehe."

"Start quickly; there are still many things waiting for me at the Anbu."

On the side, Anbu Minister Hozuki Suigetsu seemed to have a bad impression of Maeda Yuanshi and urged impatiently.

Seeing Hozuki Suigetsu's attitude, Maeda Yuanshi was not angry but started the voting process.

Mizunuki Ryosuke was ranked fifth, so he was not in a hurry, but observed the form on the field while secretly making "preparations."

Long before coming, he had inquired about the process of promoting to Jonin.

Getting nominated is only the first step; the next is the vote of all Jonin.

There is also the most important third step, which is the strength test.

The Jonin participating in the meeting will be randomly selected to compete with the ninjas being promoted to Jonin.

The Mizukage, Anbu Minister, and Jonin Class Leader will watch from the sidelines.

On one hand, it is to see if the selected Jonin has "let water" too much, and on the other hand, it is to see if the strength of the ninja being promoted to Jonin is up to standard.

As long as one can maintain "invincibility" during the competition, the promotion to Jonin will be completed.

And once defeated in the competition...

Come back next year.

And what Mizunuki Ryosuke is waiting for is this "competition."

Jonin?

Whoever wants to be one can be one.

Can you beat Otsutsuki Kaguya? Can you fight Uchiha Madara? Can you handle Senju Hashirama?

At worst, do you have the strength to force a draw with Hatake Kakashi?

You want to be a Jonin with this? You're far from it.

"Jiang Zhishu, final thirty-seven votes!"

"Passed."

Soon, the vote counting for the four Chunin to be promoted ended.

Except for the civilian ninja named Miyake Daishi, the remaining three ninjas all had their own backgrounds, and without exception, they passed the Jonin voting session.

At this time, the major ninja villages had not been established for long, and the ninja schools open to civilians had just been founded.

The world of ninjas is still the world of family-style ninjas.

So the world of ninjas is actually not all about fighting and killing, but about human relationships.

Finally, it was Mizunuki Ryosuke's turn.
