In order to use Wind Style Rasenshuriken perfectly, super strong control ability is essential.

Without sufficient perception and basic abilities, if one wants to use this S-rank wind-style throwing attack like a normal shuriken, practicing the Sage Mode is the most direct way.

There is nothing more effective than the Sage Mode in improving a ninja's overall quality.

However, the qualifications required to practice the Sage Mode are too high. In order to meet this condition, countless extraordinary people have come up with various methods.

Don't think that Mizuki is the only one who is eyeing natural energy. Over the years, the three major summoning beast sanctuaries have come up with more tricks than Mizuki, but they are not human and cannot target the tailed beasts.

Shuimu had no idea what the Slug Immortal of the Wet Bone Forest was planning, but since the White Snake Immortal of the Longdi Cave had created something like the Curse Seal, he knew it was definitely not without any results.

The most effective one is Mount Myoboku. Through Jiraiya and the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, and so many years of preparation, Uzumaki Naruto's aptitude for practicing Gamasutra is the best among all human beings.

As long as he is given proper instruction, it should not be a problem for Uzumaki Naruto to learn Sage Mode.

Hearing that his training was far from over, Uzumaki Naruto was stunned and frustrated at first, but he quickly cheered up again.

"Kakashi-sensei, what should we do next?"

"Take a rest for a few days. Later, someone else will come to help you practice."

It is too difficult to succeed in practicing the Toad Magic without the Toad Oil from Myoboku Mountain. It also requires a lot of props unique to Myoboku Mountain. It is too dangerous to explore alone without the guidance of an experienced immortal.

But now, Naruto is already exhausted to a certain extent and needs to rest for a few days.

If you don't take good care of your mind, it will be impossible to calm down and sense the natural energy.

In the next few days, Kakashi Hatake did not arrange any more training courses for Naruto, nor did he accept any ninja missions.

On the way back, Uzumaki Naruto suddenly asked a little embarrassedly:

"Teacher Kakashi, there is something I can ask you..."

Being so timid is very different from the usual carefree Naruto.

"If it's not a big deal, I can talk about it!"

"That's it. Look, the others are already Chunin. Sasuke and Neji have been Jonin for a long time, but I'm still a Genin. Isn't this unfair?"

It would be fine if I was at a disadvantage in terms of strength. When I was weak, I could endure a little grievance. But now that I have learned very powerful ninjutsu, it would be too embarrassing if I still had the title of a Genin.

“I see…”

I didn't expect that what Naruto was obsessed with was actually this matter.

"To be promoted as a ninja, you need Lady Tsunade's consent. I can recommend you, but you haven't been in the village for three years, so there is no way you can do any ninja missions. You have too few missions recently, and you haven't been very active. It's a bit difficult to get promoted! If you want to be promoted out of turn, you need to complete the assessment tasks. You will have a lot of training tasks next, so you won't have time to do any missions."

"Hey! Why is that? Grandma Tsunade is so stingy. She won't agree to anything I say. It's ok that she won't let me become a jonin, but she won't even let me become a chuunin. Obviously, I'm no worse than them."

"Then there is nothing we can do. Lord Hokage is the leader of the village. If Lord Tsunade says no, my words don't count!"

A few months ago, when Naruto and Jiraiya had just returned to the village, if they had worked hard, maybe they could have made it in time, but at that time no one cared about trivial matters like Naruto's ninja level.

As for now, no one cares. Is the ninja level of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki that important?

As long as Tsunade is happy, she can immediately give a jonin qualification, and no one will say anything.

Just because others don't care doesn't mean Naruto doesn't take it to heart.

It would be fine if his ninja level is lower than Sasuke, but he is even lower than Sakura, and he is the only Genin among all his companions. How can this be tolerated?

When I was in Ninja School, I was the last one in the class for many years because I was too weak. Now that I’m stronger, how can I still be the last one?

Of course, Naruto had more selfish thoughts.

How can a male Genin compete with a male Jonin for a female Chuunin?

This problem really troubled Naruto.

If Naruto had stayed in Konoha Village, he would almost be a Chunin now, but his situation would definitely be very different.

His ninja foundation would certainly not be as solid as it is now, and his mind would not be as open-minded as it is now. He would probably not be able to learn Wind Style: Rasenshuriken, and he would not be able to use the power of the four tails when he transforms into a tailed beast, let alone have the chance to learn Sage Mode.

Without Jiraiya's teachings, there would be no Uzumaki Naruto who is now able to make further progress.

"Then how can I become a Chunin? Now that my companions have been promoted, it's impossible to find some little guys to form a team and take part in the Chunin exam, right?"

When Naruto thought about playing ninja games with those snot-nosed brats from Konohamaru's army, he felt a chill on his back. He felt that the piercing gazes around him were like knives, mocking him.

"It's not that there is no solution. Being a ninja isn't a very rigid profession..."

Hatake Kakashi said after thinking for a moment.

"If you complete your training and become much stronger, and then perform well in ninja missions or make amazing achievements, Lady Tsunade will not turn a blind eye and will naturally promote you. Maybe you can skip Chunin and become Jonin directly!"

"Really?"

Naruto, who was originally depressed, was suddenly overjoyed.

"So there is such a method. I know it now. Next, I must practice hard, complete the mission well, and make great contributions that will make Sasuke... No, let the whole village speechless! By the way, Kakashi-sensei, if this is the case and everyone recognizes me, can I become the Hokage?"

His originally troubled mind suddenly felt better, and Naruto couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts.

"It should be possible, probably..."

Kakashi Hatake just wanted to cheer Naruto up. Looking at Naruto who was eager to try, he didn't want to discourage him, so he could only agree with him.

“But it’s not easy to do this!”

"I know that!"

Uzumaki Naruto said confidently.

"Mr. Mizuki once told me that it's not becoming a Hokage that makes people accept you, but only those who are accepted by everyone can become Hokage."

This does not conflict with hard training at all, and it also provides an opportunity to surpass Uchiha Sasuke and win Sakura's heart, which certainly should not be missed!
