JST Chapter 27: The Day Tobirama Flunked
🕑 Added 2024-08-26 19:53:15 +0000 UTCSenju Tobirama remained silent. He did not doubt what Kazuki said about Tsunade's life experience.
The shinobi world is such a world.
After everyone has different goals, former friends and partners will become strangers, and even kill each other.
Bonds, friendships, teachers and students, killing each other to achieve goals is the norm.
But this is not the key.
The key is that when Senju Tobirama saw Tsunade's disdain for 'being a Hokage' and the uncontrollable sadness in her eyes, he really felt sad.
Konoha was a village built to protect everyone, but it didn't even protect the Hokage's closest people.
"Tsunade..." Senju Tobirama shook his head, and he suddenly panicked about the future of Konoha.
Even if there are various reasons, even the granddaughter of two generations of Hokage disdains becoming a Hokage. Will the future of this village really be good?
What is Konoha like now under the governance of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo?
Is it Tsunade's personal tragedy, or has the whole village had problems...
Senju Tobirama pondered, and his complex emotions entangled his heart.
Kazuki has different ideas.
There are many ways to enter the master-disciple inheritance of the Hokage line.
In a broad sense, any blood or master-disciple connection to a Hokage could be considered as such.
Kazuki is the descendant of Uchiha Kagami, and in the master-disciple inheritance, the only ones in front of Kazuki now are Orochimaru, Tsunade and Namikaze Minato, and the possibility of Jiraiya accepting a disciple is very small.
Originally, Kazuki planned to take over Uchiha Obito's position and become Namikaze Minato's disciple, but in fact, it would be a better choice if he could become Tsunade's disciple.
After all, Minato's abilities weren't much different from Tobirama's; even if Kazuki linked him as a target, there would be redundancies.
But Tsunade was different. The blood of Hashirama and Uzumaki Mito ran through her veins, with a natural talent for sealing techniques...
And her figure, appearance, etc. are all quite to Kazuki's taste.
Sometimes, to become Hokage, you have to first become the Hokage's man...
"Tobirama, this is why I summoned your soul into my body. The current hidden village system cannot bring peace to Konoha and the shinobi world." Kazuki said, looking up at the blue sky, sharing his perspective with Tobirama's. "This is not your fault, but it still needs someone to solve it."
"Maybe the shinobi world will usher in real peace one day, but during this period, there will be many people who will experience what Tsunade has experienced, or ten thousand times more tragic than her. I don't want to wait that long."
Senju Tobirama nodded slowly. If there is anyone who can judge the situation in the shinobi world most clearly and thoroughly, it can only be him.
In this regard, Uchiha Madara is not good enough, and Senju Hashirama is even worse.
But Kazuki's next words temporarily made him forget the sadness brought by Tsunade.
"Although I wanted to borrow your wisdom, I found that you are useless. I have to do it myself..."
[From the target Senju Tobirama: Kenjutsu (Uchiha Izuna-Senju Tobirama Analysis Version)!]
"Kazuki brat!" Senju Tobirama gritted his teeth and was about to refute, when he heard Kazuki continue leisurely.
"Hush, the test paper of the Will of Fire will be released tomorrow. I suggest you take a look at the score before refutation, respected Second Hokage."
"Ridiculous, if I can't beat you in the test, there is no need to carve my statue on the Hokage Rock, just replace it with yours!" Senju Tobirama waved his hand, his expression was very firm and confident.
Kazuki shrugged, Senju Tobirama might be a good Hokage and a good teacher, but he is definitely not a good student.
No matter how good the answers were, if they started with sermons and criticism, the evaluator would hardly give them a high grade.
The Will of Fire test tests obedience, not your true understanding of the Will of Fire...
...
The next day.
Ninja school.
Kazuki looked at the full-marked test paper in his hand and Sarutobi Hiruzen's careful comments and nodded casually.
For him, this was no different from writing an elementary school composition.
And when he saw Kazuki's full score, Senju Tobirama had already sensed something was wrong, and was still stubbornly saying: "It's nothing more than a tie!"
At this time, a bad cry sounded from the front.
"Wuwuwuwu! What did I write? Why did I answer such a thing!" Inada Kojiro burst into tears, crying bitterly at the harsh comments of the Third Hokage.
Tobirama was completely petrified.
"Hey, Tobirama, look at what you wrote, it made the kid cry..."
The classmates around him all looked at Kojiro Inada with strange eyes.
It's really hard to get a high score in the course of Will of Fire, but it's basically easy to get a pass. As long as you don't curse the Hokage, you can basically get a pass.
Even though Uchiha Obito gave such a rebellious answer, Sarutobi Hiruzen gave him a 60 out of consideration.
In the entire ninja school, apart from Uchiha Obito who felt that he was being targeted, only Sarutobi Asuma and Kojiro Inada were unhappy.
"Impossible, maybe my answer was too good, and the high score surprised the kid too much..." Senju Tobirama felt bad, but he was still very stubborn.
Kazuki shrugged, walked over slowly, sat next to Inada Kojiro, and comforted him softly.
At the same time, Kazuki picked up his test paper and almost laughed out loud in a very impolite manner.
The gigantic red number on the exam paper had a devastating impact: a huge zero, accompanied by an angry exclamation mark.
And below that zero, there was an even more extensive note than the one Kazuki had received.
[Ambitious but shallow, impatient and impulsive. The Will of Fire is not just theory, learn to be a ninja first. That's what you must do!]
Kazuki didn't hold back and entered the space where Tobirama was and let out a crazy laugh characteristic of an Uchiha.
At that moment, Kazuki forgot his role and just wanted to mock the Hokage in front of him, laughing so hard that he almost sounded like a pig.
The condescending tone between the words, combined with the unusual difficulty of this set of test papers, Kazuki was almost certain that everything from setting the questions to grading the papers was definitely written by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Tobirama stood still, staring at Hiruzen's note, but he was turning red with embarrassment and rage, as if he was about to explode.
Unlike Kazuki, Tobirama didn't need to analyze much; he recognized Hiruzen's handwriting instantly.
Tobirama really didn't expect his disciple Hiruzen to give his answer a zero... And on top of that, with such a harsh criticism.
"Okay, okay, okay!" Senju Tobirama muttered to himself: "You'd better not let me get the chance, monkey..."
"Let me think about it, what did a certain Hokage say?" Kazuki smiled and counted on his fingers: "The score is too high to surprise people, writing a perfect test paper is also a teaching, if the score is not as high as mine, someone's Hokage Rock will be replaced with my avatar..."
"What else, or can you help me think about it? After all, it's all your own words, you must remember it better than me."
"Hey, this is another kind of full score, there is no score, it's a reverse full score..."
Senju Tobirama gnashed his teeth silently. This is because he died, otherwise he would have rushed into the Hokage Residence with a belt, and Sarutobi Hiruzen must know who is the master.
[From the target Senju Tobirama: You get Ninjutsu: Chakra Enhanced Strength!]
Kazuki couldn't help but laugh. This reward seemed to be quite in line with Senju Tobirama's mood at the moment. Did he want to punch Sarutobi Hiruzen in the head?
"Okay, Tobirama, Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't know that it was you who answered the test paper. Who told you to be so direct?"
"That won't work either! What I said were all good advice to criticize the current situation. Why does he dare to say that to me?" Senju Tobirama waved his hand and said in a faint tone: "Monkey, you'd better manage the village flawlessly, otherwise you'd better pray that you don't have the chance to see me..."
"Little boy, do me a favor." Senju Tobirama gradually cooled down, looked at the very sad Inada Kojiro, and whispered: "Help comfort that kid. Although I didn't know that the exam was done by the monkey, but this kind of scolding is too harsh."
"After all, this was my fault."
Kazuki nodded. This old man still had some heart, but he didn't answer, just nodded at him.
Seeing this, Senju Tobirama sighed helplessly: "I know, I know, I will teach you a few ninjutsu, I won't regret it."
"But don't get me wrong, it's just a casual teaching, not a master-disciple relationship!"
