The Eight-Year-Old Me Became Hokage

Kazekaze looked at the cooldown time of the check-in system. After more than a week of physical training, he finally welcomed the third opportunity to clock in! This made Kazekaze feel exhilarated.

The first check-in granted him [Hashirama's Chakra.]

The second check-in rewarded him with [The Eight Inner Gates Released Formation.]

He wondered what reward he might draw on the third check-in.

"I might not even need a month to pass this exam and become a true ninja!"

Although he could currently only open the The Eight Inner Gates up to the Gate of Limit, he was becoming increasingly adept at using super strength. Especially with techniques like Cherry Blossom Impact and Heavenly Kick of Pain, which were supposed to be developed by his sister Tsunade in the future. He was becoming more and more proficient with them.

"But it's getting late, better wait until tomorrow."

Kazekaze glanced at the setting sun. In the world of Naruto, there were no watches yet. He could only estimate the time based on experience. His father, Mokuken, should be preparing dinner around this time. And according to Kazekaze's calculations, by the time he returned home and had dinner, he could proceed with the third check-in.

"Might Bai-sensei, can we have the exam tomorrow?" Before parting ways with Might Bai, Kazekaze specifically emphasized this matter.

"Tomorrow?" Might Bai's expression was slightly startled. Because Tobirama had told him the time frame was a month, and all his training content was based on that time unit. Yet now, not even a third of the time had passed, and Kazekaze felt ready for the exam. Was this the confidence of a genius?

"Of course." Might Bai gave a thumbs up, his white teeth flashing a bright gleam.

 Receiving Might Bai's affirmative answer, Kazekaze felt very pleased. The first time he encountered the Naruto anime was back in elementary school during after-school care. At that time, he was in fourth grade, and the caretaker would play Naruto DVDs to keep the children quiet during noon. Unknowingly, this anime accompanied him for eleven years. The thought of becoming a real ninja filled him with excitement. Not only as a stepping stone to becoming Hokage in the future. But also as a fulfillment of that small, unrealistic childhood dream.

After Kazekaze ran out of the training ground, Tobirama, who had been hiding behind the bushes, slowly emerged. He formed hand seals and used Earth Release ninjutsu to repair the training ground that had been torn apart by the battle.

"Lord Tobirama," noticing Tobirama, Might Bai greeted him respectfully.

"What did that kid just say to you? He ran off so quickly. Kazekaze-sama hopes to have the exam tomorrow," Might Bai answered truthfully.

These words made Tobirama pause. He turned his head to look in the direction Kazekaze had run, only to see an empty field.

"That kid Kazekaze, after just over a week of training with Might Bai, thinks he can pass the exam? Not even a third of the scheduled time has passed." Tobirama murmured, "I want to see what kind of surprise you can bring me tomorrow."

Then, Tobirama turned around and patted Might Bai's shoulder forcefully, "For tomorrow's exam, I hope you can give it 200%, Bai!" 

In Tobirama's view, Kazekaze's almost arrogant confidence was not conducive to his growth. If Might Bai could dampen his spirits a bit, it might make him more humble.

An hour later. Kazekaze devoured his dinner and returned directly to his room. Regarding this check-in, he didn't want anyone to disturb him. On the contrary, Mokuken and Ayako looked at each other, feeling that Kazekaze had changed from before. "Kazekaze, this child, used to be uninterested in everything he did, but recently he seems very diligent," Mokuken couldn't help but comment.

Ayako smiled gently, "Perhaps it's because Kazekaze has found a goal."

"A goal?"

"Having a beautiful goal gives people direction to strive for, and at certain special moments, it makes them shine. That is the meaning of a goal." Ayako's voice was very gentle, as she gently caressed her belly.

It seemed she had also found a new goal.

On the other side, Kazekaze returned to his room, and the cooldown time of the check-in system ended. "Begin the third check-in."

Without any hesitation, Kazekaze initiated the third check-in in his mind. A familiar voice echoed in his ears, like a heavenly melody.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully check-in!]

[You have received a check-in reward package!]

[Would you like to open the check-in reward package?]

With his previous experience, Kazekaze was already familiar with the check-in process. Kazekaze took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement and anticipation, his eyes fixed on the reward package. 

"I wonder what good things I can get this time."  Kazekaze murmured to himself, imagining one good thing after another.

- Sage Mode.

- Nine-Tails Chakra.

- Rinnegan.

- Flying Thunder God Technique.

If he could draw these things, his strength would undoubtedly make a qualitative leap!

However, before opening the reward package, Kazekaze clasped his hands together, like a devout believer. 

"I am willing to trade ten years of Madara Uchiha's life for a chance to be lucky!

As always. After reciting this mantra-like content, Kazekaze decisively opened the package! Then A dazzling light flashed, and the reward package was opened.

[Congratulations to the host for drawing Skill Point +1 from the reward package!]

 Kazekaze: "???"

What is this? Neither ninjutsu, genjutsu, taijutsu, nor a kekkei genkai. But... Skill Point +1!

"What is this thing?" 

Kazekaze looked at a ball of light and gently touched it with his mind.

 [This item will be automatically deleted at six o'clock tomorrow!]

 [Would you like to use it now?]

 "Use it."  Kazekaze said without thinking, as he couldn't figure out what this thing was for anyway.

 However, when he used Skill Point +1, two skills appeared before him. One was [Hashirama's Chakra lv1.]

the other was [The Eight Inner Gates Released Formation lv5.]However… [Hashirama's Chakra lv1] was in gray font. Looking at the image in his mind, Kazekaze seemed to understand what was going on. He tried to use it on [Hashirama's Chakra lv1], but it didn't work.

"As expected, I have mastered Hashirama's Chakra." Kazekaze thought of the mastery setting in "DNF" and casually upgraded the The Eight Inner Gates Released Formation. From a certain perspective, this reward was quite good.

It allowed him to upgrade one of his skills. However, the unfortunate part was that the only skill Kazekaze could upgrade was the The Eight Inner Gates Released Formation. And the setting of deletion at six in the morning prevented him from waiting for the next check-in. Nevertheless, Kazekaze wasn't discouraged by this; instead, he remained excited. Because his status panel now showed...
