Not to mention that in these four months, Kazekaze learned a ton of ninjutsu, trained his body relentlessly, and increased his muscle strength to adapt to the Eight Gates. And during this time, Kazekaze also developed the Rasengan, which is also an S-rank ninjutsu. Even if Kazekaze did nothing else in these four months and spent all his time practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique. So what?
Before the establishment of Konoha, I was always in the Warring States period. At that time, besides fighting others on the battlefield. Every day was spent training hard to increase my strength. I never slacked off for a moment. Even after entering the ninja era, I wasn't living in a fairy tale. The awareness of the crisis of war made Tobirama never dare to relax. In other words, his efforts were at least several times, dozens of times, or even hundreds of times that of Kazekaze! And then, Kazekaze surpassed him in less than four months! This made Tobirama inevitably question the meaning of his hard work. What was it all for? Compared to a monster like Kazekaze, my efforts seem like a joke!
Tobirama held his forehead. This time, he really didn't know what expression to use to face Kazekaze. At this moment, he seemed to understand the feelings of Danzo, Kagami, and Hiruzen. They worked hard for over a decade, only to find that Kazekaze could achieve their accomplishments with ease. This feeling is truly demoralizing!
Thud! Thinking of this, Tobirama simply sat down on the grass, leaned against a big tree, and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.
"Kazekaze, you... you're simply a monster."
Kazekaze: "???"
Suddenly calling me a monster, how's that okay?
"What are you two doing?" Just then, Hashirama's voice echoed through the forest. Tobirama and Kazekaze instinctively turned their heads and saw Hashirama holding Tsunade.
"Big brother? What are you doing here?" Tobirama couldn't help but ask.
Hashirama sighed and revealed the truth. He thought something had happened to Kazekaze, so he came out to check. After asking around, he found out they had come to the training ground. He initially thought Tobirama wanted to train Kazekaze. That's why Hashirama came over to take a look. But what he never dreamed of was... When he found the two of them, Kazekaze seemed fine. Tobirama seemed... Severely affected. He hadn't seen Tobirama show such an expression in a long time. What exactly happened?
"Tobirama? Are you okay?" Hashirama asked, a bit exasperated. But considering Tobirama's naturally competitive nature, Hashirama thought that even if he asked, Tobirama might not say anything. But he was also very worried about his brother Tobirama. So, before Tobirama could answer, Hashirama turned to Kazekaze and asked, "What's going on?"
"Hmm." Kazekaze glanced at the dejected Tobirama, shook his head helplessly, and with a wry smile said, "Maybe... possibly, it's because I learned the Flying Thunder God Technique."
"Flying Thunder God?" Hashirama was taken aback, blinked, and looked Kazekaze up and down, then Tobirama. He suddenly remembered. Tobirama had bragged to him more than once. About how incredibly difficult the Flying Thunder God Technique was. And how powerful the Flying Thunder God Technique was. Even Izuna, who had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, was instantly defeated by him! Now Kazekaze had learned the Flying Thunder God Technique. Isn't that a good thing? Why would Tobirama be upset about this?
But, speaking of which. Kazekaze learning the Flying Thunder God Technique so quickly is indeed quite astonishing. No, it's very astonishing!
"It's not as simple as you think..." Tobirama took a deep breath, and with Hashirama's presence, his mood eased a bit. "Kazekaze improved this technique based on my Flying Thunder God Technique. Not only did the Flying Thunder God mark become a script, but his speed surpasses mine! Do you know what this means? This means... The fastest ninja in Konoha is a seven-year-old kid!"
Tobirama suddenly stood up from the ground. Even though Kazekaze is his grandson, he found it hard to accept this fact. This kind of monstrous talent. Completely overturned Tobirama's understanding of ninjutsu and ninjas! Most importantly! Kazekaze has now become the fastest person in Konoha! Compared to Kazekaze, not just myself. Everyone in Konoha, in terms of speed, has been left in the dust by Kazekaze!
"That includes you, big brother!"
Thud!
Hashirama's mood instantly dropped. And through Tobirama's description, Hashirama realized just how unreasonable Kazekaze had become. Not just his own Wood Release. Tobirama's Water Release, Shadow Clone Technique. Now, Kazekaze has easily learned Tobirama's Flying Thunder God Technique and surpassed him! Looking at it this way. Kazekaze is practically a combination of me and Tobirama! And Kazekaze is only seven years old this year! At just seven, he possesses such terrifying strength. It's hard to imagine when Kazekaze reaches his peak in the future. How powerful his strength will be! I really want to have a match with Kazekaze at that time!
"Not only that." Tobirama interjected again, according to the information Danzo brought back. Kazekaze used the Kagura Mind's Eye when he was in the Land of Waves. This is an ability of the Uzumaki clan, and only a very few in the Uzumaki clan possess it.
"Kazekaze, did you inherit Mito's ability?" Hashirama's eyes widened. He always knew Kazekaze was a genius. And had inherited his excellent genes. But Hashirama never expected. Kazekaze... To be so exceptional! Not only his own best bloodline but also Mito's best bloodline. Kazekaze actually inherited them too!
"No, it's not just the amount of Chakra, Wood Release..." Hashirama took a sharp breath, feeling deeply shocked. Once children reach a certain age, their growth rate accelerates. Kazekaze has been growing steadily over the past few months. He's grown at least five centimeters taller, and his features have become more refined.
"Kazekaze even inherited my handsomeness excellently."
Kazekaze: "???"
Grandpa Hashirama, you're a master of ninjutsu, could you be a bit more serious? Kazekaze couldn't help but complain in his heart. However, Kazekaze didn't refute being called handsome. Mainly because... He couldn't refute it. What others said was the truth, a fact. If he refuted it, wouldn't he be lying? That wouldn't do, that wouldn't do.
"Hahaha!" Hashirama burst into hearty laughter once again, feeling delighted after hearing Tobirama's account. And Tobirama's gaze towards Kazekaze became strange. For some reason, he suddenly had a feeling. A feeling... Could Kazekaze become the first eight-year-old Hokage in Konoha's history?
