Kazekaze became a Special Jonin ?
This news was like a bomb, shocking Hiruzen and the others. Although they already knew Kazekaze was extraordinary, his growth rate once again shattered their understanding.
"Kazekaze is only seven years old, right?" Koharu stood there dumbfounded, unable to resist asking those around her. Could it be that her understanding was flawed? A seven-year-old Special Jonin. And their captain? Such news was truly unbelievable. Koharu even seriously doubted whether she was still dreaming. Or perhaps Lord Tobirama was playing a joke on them.
However, no matter how they looked at it, Lord Tobirama's expression was serious, and his tone was very solemn. This was no joke. It was a fact. Lord Tobirama even gave them an opportunity. A chance to challenge Kazekaze. If they won, it would prove that Kazekaze indeed wasn't qualified to be their captain. At that time, he would appoint a new captain to lead this ninja unit.
"I actually think that Young Master Kazekaze is fully capable of leading this unit, and there's no need for any challenge." Suddenly, Uchiha Kagami voiced his thoughts loudly. The people gathered around him were all geniuses from various clans. Their strength was not to be underestimated. But no matter how strong they were, they couldn't change one fact. That was, they couldn't compare to Kazekaze.
Perhaps in the future, Sarutobi Hiruzen would become a ninja more formidable than Kinkaku and Ginkaku. But as of now, his strength was far inferior to Kinkaku. Not to mention the others. In Kagami's view, such a unit was no match for Kazekaze. Moreover, he was originally Kazekaze's subordinate. Having witnessed such leadership and intellect, Kagami had long been convinced by Kazekaze. Having him lead this ninja unit was simply perfect.
Everyone's gaze focused on Kagami, looking at him with an expression of disbelief. Was this man before them really the Uchiha clan's genius? He actually thought Kazekaze was the most suitable choice! Even though he was only seven years old! What exactly happened at the border of the Land of Fire? That would cause such a significant change in Kagami.
"Of course, since there's a chance to challenge Kazekaze, I don't intend to give it up." Immediately, Uchiha Kagami added another sentence, expressing his determination to Tobirama. He was determined to use this month to train hard and improve his strength. Hiruzen and the others exchanged glances. No matter what, they and Kagami were ninjas who graduated at the same time and spent the most time together. Their relationship was the best. No one dared to underestimate Uchiha Kagami's strength.
But seeing his attitude, Hiruzen and the others couldn't help but feel emotional. Just how strong was Kazekaze now?
"However, with Kagami saying that, I can't wait to spar with Young Master Kazekaze." Hiruzen took a deep breath and expressed his determination to Tobirama. "A month, huh? Looks like I'll have to ask my father to help me improve my strength. No matter what, I don't want to lose to Kazekaze."
In fact, it wasn't just Hiruzen's thought. It was everyone's thought. No one wanted to lose to Kazekaze. Even if he was an astonishing genius! A ninja as strong as a monster. A monster who became a Special Jonin at seven years old! They still didn't want to lose to him! Especially when they faced Kazekaze together!
The idea of Lord Tobirama's elite disciples losing to a seven-year-old child. If word got out, it would really be... Awkward!
Especially Danzo. When Tobirama mentioned this, images of sparring with Kazekaze involuntarily surfaced in his mind. Even now, he still remembered the punch Kazekaze threw. Everything... Was vivid in his memory. So clear. So real. By slightly closing his eyes, he could clearly see Kazekaze's fist. In an instant! Danzo involuntarily shuddered.
The person he least wanted to spar with again was Kazekaze! Could he not participate? He had no opinion on who would be the captain. As long as... He didn't have to spar with Kazekaze! Even Danzo didn't expect Kazekaze to leave such a huge psychological shadow on him.
But... Seeing his eager companions around him. Even Koharu looked eager to spar with Kazekaze. Danzo really couldn't bring himself to refuse!
"Very well." Tobirama watched everyone's reactions, feeling very gratified. These were exactly the seeds he envisioned. "Konoha will surely reach its peak under your hands." Tobirama couldn't help but feel emotional.
Then, they agreed on the time and place for their sparring. And over the next month, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others didn't gather for tactical training. Instead, they asked their clan elders to help them improve their strength. Although they found Tobirama's decision incredible, Kazekaze's strength was indeed not to be underestimated. They needed greater strength to face Kazekaze!
As for Kazekaze, he naturally wouldn't waste his time. He now had the goal of becoming the Third Hokage. Moreover, he still couldn't fully master the Gate of View state. So Kazekaze spent this time on physical training, crazily improving his level. The only regret was that he soon reached his muscle limit.
"It seems that at this stage, I can only train my muscles to this extent. Damn, if only I could grow five more years."
In fact, Kazekaze didn't have high demands for himself. He felt that if he could reach 1.5 meters, he could increase his current strength three or four times. However, no matter how much he ate, he hadn't grown taller during this time. For the first time, he felt resentment towards his height.
"Before I transmigrated, I was a handsome guy standing at 1.83 meters." Kazekaze sat in front of the mirror, sighed deeply, and worried about his height.
However... Kazekaze's gaze was quickly drawn to the person in the mirror. He carefully examined the reflection. Although still young, his features were already very refined. "So handsome." After a moment of silence, Kazekaze couldn't help but exclaim. He had never seen someone so handsome.
"Luckily, I never attended the ninja academy, otherwise, wouldn't the girls in Konoha fight over me?" Once this body ages a few more years, it might just be... A prodigy. "The youngest and most handsome Hokage in history." Sigh. I never thought I'd surpass one of the few advantages of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.
"Oh well." Kazekaze shook his head and prepared to set off. Today was the day he would take on the challenge from Hiruzen and the others! Yes. The one-month deadline had arrived! During this time, he checked in once again. And he acquired the skill [Wood Release: Clone].
