The Eight-Year-Old Me Became Hokage

Chapter 32: Chapter 32:Tobirama Observing in Secret



The clash of kunai against kunai sparked metallic flames. Danzo and Sarutobi exchanged a glance and immediately leaped back, separating from each other. During their retreat, both of them formed hand seals simultaneously.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"

"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"

A sharp wind, similar to the Kamaitachi, was expelled from the mouths of both Danzo and Sarutobi, flying forward.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Several wind blades collided, erupting with a series of loud explosions, generating a strong wind pressure that spread in all directions. Danzo and Sarutobi landed simultaneously.

"You've gotten stronger, Danzo," Sarutobi said, releasing his combat stance and praising Danzo's performance.

"Tch," Danzo scoffed, putting his kunai back into his ninja tool pouch, "You deliberately used the same jutsu as me. You're still as cunning as ever."

Different chakra natures counter each other. If Sarutobi had used a Fire Release just now, his situation would have become very dangerous.

'Am I still a step behind Sarutobi in terms of strength?'

Danzo couldn't help but reflect, realizing the gap was even wider compared to that monster Kazekaze. Ever since losing to Kazekaze that day, Danzo, Sarutobi, Kagami, Koharu, Homura, and Torifu had been engaging in combat training daily. Despite Kazekaze's terrifying talent, which made it seem hopeless to catch up, Danzo and the others didn't want to fall too far behind.

"Sarutobi, Danzo, your moves were impressive, but still..." As the holder of the Sharingan, Kagami naturally took on the role of reviewing their performance.

Using the observational power of the Sharingan, he recorded his companions' movements, looking for ways to improve further. This was the purpose of their combat training these days. In fact, thanks to Kagami's Sharingan, everyone had made significant progress over the past few days. However… Just as Kagami was speaking, a loud noise came from the east. A flock of birds, startled, fled the forest, circling in the sky. The sudden situation startled everyone.

"Such strong chakra..."

With his sensory abilities, Sarutobi immediately sensed the chakra.

"It's Kazekaze, he's in a fight!" Sarutobi exclaimed in surprise.

Currently, in the developing lands of the Hidden Leaf Village, there were few areas suitable for combat training that wouldn't disturb others. These days, Sarutobi and the others were only a few dozen meters away from where Kazekaze trained. Sometimes, they would even run into Kazekaze jogging with Might Bai. However, since Kazekaze had been focusing on physical training recently, Sarutobi and the others hadn't paid much attention.

"Kazekaze is in a fight? With whom?" Danzo and Kagami spoke in unison, but a certain figure had already appeared in their minds.

Might Bai!

"It's Might Bai, he... has opened the The Eight Inner Gates!" Sarutobi's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked in the direction of the loud noise. After a brief pause, Sarutobi sprinted at full speed. The battle between Kazekaze and Might Bai piqued his curiosity. Danzo and Kagami exchanged glances and decisively followed Sarutobi. Then came Koharu, Homura, and Torifu. After a swift run, they arrived near the training ground and saw the figures of Kazekaze and Might Bai. Their bodies were flushed red, emitting green energy. They had clearly opened the The Eight Inner Gates! 

On the battlefield. Two green figures charged at each other rapidly, exchanging blows with intense ferocity.Even… Every time Kazekaze and Might Bai's fists and feet collided, powerful air currents were generated, spreading outward. The ground cracked layer by layer, with spiderweb-like fissures everywhere.

It made one wonder what the point was of Lord Tobirama repairing the training ground before. However, seeing this scene, Sarutobi and the others. All of them widened their eyes, staring intently at Kazekaze, not daring to blink. Because his speed was simply too fast! A slight blink required more effort to recapture him. Uchiha Kagami immediately activated his Sharingan to observe.

"Is it just my imagination, or does Kazekaze seem even stronger than a few days ago?" Kagami couldn't help but say.

During the last spar with Danzo, neither his strength nor speed could compare to the current Kazekaze.

"Indeed," Sarutobi nodded slightly, agreeing with Kagami's observation, "It must be the result of his physical training these days."

At this moment, Danzo's face turned even more ashen. He had thought that if he worked hard enough, trained hard enough, he could catch up to Kazekaze. Now it seemed that such thoughts were nothing but wishful thinking! Kazekaze not only possessed terrifying talent but also didn't slack off, striving to become stronger! When someone more talented than you works harder than you, what's the point of your efforts?

Thinking of this, Danzo clenched his right hand into a fist, "The genes of Lord Hashirama..."

"Hmm? This chakra..." Sarutobi suddenly paused, his gaze fixed on Kazekaze and Might Bai, but he sensed an extremely familiar chakra behind the bushes.

"Lord Tobirama?" Sarutobi's mouth opened slightly, recognizing the identity of the person through their chakra.

Not only were they observing the battle from behind the bushes, but even Lord Tobirama was watching in secret! In fact, Tobirama was well aware of Kazekaze's daily training regimen. Knowing that today was his first day of combat training, he had come specifically to watch.

"Not bad at all." Tobirama crouched behind the bushes, watching Kazekaze with great interest.

What surprised him the most was… Kazekaze wasn't fighting aimlessly. He was absorbing the experience gained from battling Might Bai! Growing at a jaw-dropping speed! The key point was that if Kazekaze could truly make the The Eight Inner Gates his combat norm. Then he would be unmatched in the field of taijutsu!

"Having Might Bai as Kazekaze's taijutsu teacher was indeed the right decision. Whether it's Might Bai's speed or strength, they surpass the current Kazekaze. This battle is essentially Might Bai suppressing himself to allow Kazekaze to gain more taijutsu skills." No matter how Tobirama looked at it, he felt that this training method was perfectly suited for Kazekaze.

However, Kazekaze was unaware of these matters. He couldn't sense others' chakra, and his focus was entirely on the battle with Might Bai. He had no time to pay attention to the situation behind the bushes. Currently, Kazekaze was like a sponge, frantically absorbing various combat techniques from Might Bai.

"Now... it seems I can use that move." Kazekaze murmured to himself, suddenly having an idea.

Although Hashirama and Tobirama both possessed monstrous strength, one had unparalleled Wood Release, and the other mastered space-time ninjutsu. In battle, they never relied on brute strength to win. Instead, it was his sister Tsunade who, having inherited neither her grandfather's Wood Release nor Tobirama's jutsu, developed the Heavenly Kick of Pain based on her monstrous strength! And now, it seemed he could use that move too.
