The Eight-Year-Old Me Became Hokage

Gradually, the battle came to an end. Looking at the ground destroyed by Kazekaze's monstrous strength, Might Bai found it hard to believe that this was the power of a seven-year-old child. His gaze moved upward, landing on Kazekaze's youthful face.

"At this rate of growth, in no more than three months, you'll surpass me." Might Bai wasn't flattering; he genuinely believed it.

Especially since Kazekaze had just used the Heavenly Kick of Pain, combining monstrous strength with the The Eight Inner Gates. Although it wasn't yet fully mastered, the power it unleashed was likely unbearable for any ninja, especially those without a speed advantage, like Danzo. If Kazekaze landed a kick on Danzo, even if he didn't die, he would be severely injured.

The most crucial point was that Kazekaze was only seven years old this year, and his body hadn't fully developed. His muscles and bones hadn't reached their peak yet. Otherwise, his power would be even more terrifying. Even so, Might Bai still believed that Kazekaze would surpass him in taijutsu within three months.

Not far away, Sarutobi and the others, hiding behind the bushes, were utterly shocked by Might Bai's words!

In their eyes, Might Bai's brain was no different from a single-celled organism. Straightforward and without any scheming or depth. Flattering Kazekaze just because he was Hashirama's grandson was something that would never happen with Might Bai.

So… If Might Bai said so, it meant he truly believed Kazekaze could surpass him in three months!

"Three months." Koharu collapsed to the ground with a thud, her eyes filled with shock as she stared blankly at Kazekaze, who had once saved her.

When she first met Kazekaze, she saw him as a younger brother, wanting to protect him from harm. However, now the gap between them was so vast it felt suffocating.

Protect Kazekaze? Don't be ridiculous.

By the time Kazekaze became a true ninja, it would be fortunate if she didn't hold him back.

"Surpassing Might Bai in three months." Danzo couldn't help but gasp.

Although Might Bai wasn't skilled in ninjutsu or genjutsu and was often ridiculed during his time at the ninja academy, earning the nickname "Dead Last," his strength underwent a tremendous change after Tobirama taught him the The Eight Inner Gates.

These experiences almost made Might Bai a legend. It's no exaggeration to say that for those who knew Might Bai, they all believed his taijutsu was second only to Hashirama and Tobirama.

"Did I hear that wrong?" Uchiha Kagami even doubted his hearing.

"You didn't hear wrong, Kagami. That's exactly what Might Bai said." Sarutobi shook his head helplessly, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.

"Do you know what's most terrifying? The most terrifying thing is that Kazekaze is only seven this year, and even three months later, he'll still be seven..." As Sarutobi emphasized this point, everyone was dumbfounded.

Yes.

Kazekaze is only seven this year.Even three months later, he'll still be seven. This means… A mere seven-year-old Kazekaze will surpass Might Bai and become one of Konoha's top taijutsu experts! But… Is that possible?

Everyone's pupils dilated simultaneously, refocusing on Kazekaze's small body. Almost at the same time, everyone had the same thought. It's very possible! Even though such an idea is shocking and defies logic and understanding! But from the moment they met Kazekaze, everything he did was shocking and defied understanding.

"Sarutobi, let's go..." After a long silence, Danzo couldn't help but speak.

Sarutobi and the others withdrew their gaze from Kazekaze and focused on Danzo.

"Let's go train." Danzo was utterly disheartened now.

He and Kazekaze were never in the same world from the start.To consider him a target to chase was nothing but a fool's dream.

"Among us, there's no one who can match Kazekaze. His talent is simply too terrifying. Now, I just want to throw myself into training and become stronger." Danzo expressed his thoughts freely.

With Kazekaze's terrifying growth rate, he could become a top taijutsu expert in three months. How could anyone compare to that? The gap between people is determined from birth. Kazekaze was born at a finish line they could never reach! He not only inherited the unique Regeneration Ability of Hashirama but was also born with an extraordinary amount of chakra! Of course, this was also why no one questioned why Kazekaze had such abundant chakra. Because in everyone's understanding, he not only inherited Hashirama's bloodline but also had a quarter of the Uzumaki bloodline!

"You're right, Danzo. For ordinary people like us, treating Kazekaze as a target to chase was perhaps nonsense from the start!" Sarutobi agreed with Danzo's view and then turned to leave. "I must become stronger. Although chasing Kazekaze is impossible now, at least I can't let the gap widen too much."

Meanwhile… Hiding in another bush, secretly observing, Tobirama was once again shocked! Tobirama's chakra sensing was even stronger than Hashirama's. When Kazekaze used the Heavenly Kick of Pain, he noticed a key point that Sarutobi and the others hadn't realized. The reason that kick was so powerful wasn't because of the The Eight Inner Gates. It was… Monstrous strength!

'Normal monstrous strength is achieved by precise chakra control, covering the whole body, then bursting out to create a powerful airflow.'

Tobirama's heart was in turmoil.

'But Kazekaze's Heavenly Kick of Pain concentrated chakra at a single point in the body, bursting out instantly to enhance power. This is... an improvement on monstrous strength!'

Although there's a big difference between improvement and creation, for a seven-year-old to improve a technique is already astonishing.

'Kazekaze not only grows rapidly in actual combat but also innovates.'

Tobirama's eyes suddenly became fervent.

'Perhaps in the future, Kazekaze will develop ninjutsu that leaves me in awe!'

As for Kazekaze, he was unaware that Tobirama and Sarutobi were observing in secret. After all, he couldn't sense others' chakra.

"Three months? I didn't expect Might Bai-sensei to have such a high opinion of me." Kazekaze felt emotional.

In the eyes of Might Bai and the others, he was a legendary genius. They didn't know he had a check-in system. This meant that even if he didn't draw rewards from the check-in packages, he could surpass Might Bai through his own efforts in three months! However, speaking of check-in packages… Kazekaze glanced at the check-in system. The cooldown was about to end. He could once again enjoy a joyful check-in.
