Chapter 5 The most important thing to becoming Hokage is...
"What are you doing?" Lan Wu looked at Chi Shi with a puzzled expression, feeling that this guy was not quite normal.
She had deliberately added "things she disliked" to mock this arrogant guy, but he didn't seem to notice at all, and...
His reaction after hearing that his grandfather was Tobirama Senju was a bit too exaggerated.
If it were just ordinary "dislike," it would confirm that those Uchiha clan members had often spoken ill of Grandpa, but now...
Akaishi's "terror" was a bit too exaggerated. His pupils were trembling, and it seemed that his still unstable Sharingan was about to be scared out of its wits.
As for Akaishi...
Is she the granddaughter of the Thousand-Handed Demon?
[Could it be... just like our Uchiha clan's predecessors, who could store their eye techniques within their eyes for future generations to use, that she was actually the one who used genjutsu on me?]
[They even deliberately put me in the same group as her; this must be a conspiracy by the three generations of gorillas!]
[Wait... judging from her reaction, she doesn't seem like she just used an illusion on me...]
However, since she's the granddaughter of that old devil with a thousand hands, we can't let our guard down!
"Uchiha Akaishi, it's your turn. Just speak normally." Jiraiya was also puzzled by Akaishi's reaction and urged him on.
"My name is Uchiha Akaishi, I come from the Uchiha clan, and my favorite person is... the Second Hokage!" Akaishi said righteously.
Jiraiya, Namikaze, Ranmai: ...
"My dream... is to inherit the will of the Second Hokage!" Akaishi said firmly, like a die-hard fan of the Second Hokage.
Lan Wu's lips twitched slightly as she asked, "Oh, what do you think my grandfather's will is?"
Akaishi:……
In my memory, Senju no Kami's will was to oppose our Uchiha clan!
but……
Of course, Akaishi couldn't tell the truth. After hesitating for a while, he finally blurted out, "Hmm... take good care of your granddaughter?"
Upon hearing that Akaishi was suspected of taking advantage of her, Lan Wu's forehead veins bulged out, and she smiled through gritted teeth, saying, "If you can't use words, I've also practiced martial arts with my cousin for a few days..."
Not only Akaishi, but even Jiraiya shuddered. After all, although Jiraiya wasn't familiar with Lanwu, he knew her cousin very well... At this moment, he interrupted, "Ahem, alright... Minato wants to become Hokage, and Lanwu and Akaishi... well, they also said they want to learn from the Second Hokage. So, do you know what the most important thing is to become Hokage?"
Jiraiya planned to take this opportunity to give them another lesson on the meaning of Hokage.
Minato and Ranma were silent for a moment, even looking somewhat puzzled—the topic was too broad and general, and they didn't know how to begin.
Akaishi, on the other hand, seemed to have thought of something and showed a hesitant expression.
Seeing this, Jiraiya took the initiative to suggest, "Akaishi, you tell us."
"Ahem, first of all, I don't want to become Hokage, but... if we want to become Hokage, the most important thing is of course... that you, Jiraiya-sama, become Hokage first!" Akaishi felt that he had guessed Jiraiya's meaning.
Besides...
The Third Hokage was a student of the Second Hokage, and Jiraiya was a student of the Third Hokage. As Jiraiya's students, how can you become Hokage? Isn't it obvious?
Although the Second Hokage claimed to be "democratic" when deciding on the First Hokage, we have all seen how "democratic" it was.
Jiraiya, Minato, Ranmai: ...
When Jiraiya heard what Akaishi said, he felt that the kid was being sarcastic!
"Of course... no! To become Hokage, you need to... gain everyone's approval!" Jiraiya forced a smile as he corrected Akaishi.
Akaashi:? ? ?
Does Naruto really need everyone's approval?
Akaishi was taken aback at first, then immediately chimed in, "That's right! Our Uchiha clan has always held Tobirama-sama and Sarutobi-sama in the highest regard!"
Jiraiya: ...
Jiraiya was feeling a bit weary.
"You might not understand what I'm saying now, so let's stop here for today... Meet at the third training ground at eight o'clock tomorrow morning!"
"Eh? Jiraiya-sama, don't you have any missions today?" Namikaze asked in surprise—he thought that becoming a ninja would make him busier.
"A mission? You're still a long way off." Jiraiya suddenly became serious. "Besides... to be precise, you're not 'waiting to be granted your title,' you're more like 'about to face the assessment for being granted your title.' Prepare well!"
"Huh? It is..."
The three were surprised to hear this, but as ninjas, they readily agreed.
"Today is our first day as a team. How about I treat you to Ichiraku Ramen afterwards? It's super delicious!" Namikaze said with a bright smile to his two teammates.
Ranma, who was a year older than Bofeng, blushed slightly and was about to agree...
"Ramen? That kind of common food... Don't you like gourmet food? I'll treat you to Matsushiro!" Akaishi said with a wave of his hand.
Upon hearing this, Lan Wu immediately showed a look of disgust and curled her lip, saying, "Of course the young master of the Uchiha clan wouldn't be used to ramen... Minato, let's go!"
Chishi was instantly embarrassed, but he didn't dare to provoke Lanwu, so he stood frozen in place...
Fortunately, just then, Minato seemed to notice his predicament and said, "I'm also somewhat interested in Matsukuro. Let's go there together!"
Hearing what Minato said, Lanwu finally agreed.
Akaishi finally breathed a sigh of relief, having escaped from his awkward situation...
Akaishi looked at Minato with emotion and patted him on the shoulder—"You, a commoner, are not without merit!"
However, when they reached the first floor, Minato turned to look in the direction of the graduation classroom and said, "Um... wait a moment, there's something I want to confirm."
Lan Wu was puzzled when Chi Shi's eyes lit up and he said, "Hahaha, I know... It's about the class assignments of the girl you like, right?"
"Hmm? By the way, speaking of that girl from the Uzumaki clan, isn't she in the same grade as you?" Lan Wu suddenly remembered.
"I'm just a little concerned." Minato smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying, speaking calmly with a hint of shyness.
"But by now, the class assignments should have already been completed," Akaishi said, but still walked back with Minato.
The three of them immediately returned to the classroom, and sure enough, the class assignments had already been completed, and the Third Hokage and the others were long gone, but...
Kushina Uzumaki, with her long red hair, was looking at the kind old lady with a tearful, aggrieved yet stubborn expression.
"Who is that...?" Akashi felt that the old lady looked familiar.
"Grandma? What brings you here?" Lan Wu recognized her immediately.
That's right, this person is none other than the wife of the First Hokage—Senju Mito, whose original name was Uzumaki Mito, and she was also the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha!
After Hashirama's death, Mito aged considerably. Her body was already frail, and with Hashirama gone, the Nine-Tails within her was no longer absolutely safe. As a result, she became reclusive. Akaishi, who was born after Hashirama's era, had only seen her a few times.
However, at this moment, under the protection of several ANBU members, Mito Uzumaki actually came to the Ninja Academy in person?
