The Eight-Year-Old Me Became Hokage

Chapter 7: Chapter 7: What Just Happened?



At the center of it all—Kazekaze. A colossal wave of chakra erupted from his body, expanding outward, engulfing everything within dozens of meters. The ground beneath his feet fractured violently, splitting apart in a spiderweb of cracks.

Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Shimura Danzo.

Uchiha Kagami.

These future pillars of Konoha's history— All of them were forced to shut their eyes, unable to withstand the pressure of Kazekaze's chakra surge! As for the two massive beasts charging toward him— It was as if they had slammed into an invisible wall of pure force. Frozen in place. No matter how much they roared or struggled, they couldn't break free! Kazekaze was only seven years old, yet his chakra strength far surpassed anyone present.

No— It wasn't just several times stronger— It was dozens, maybe even hundreds of times stronger.

The rhinoceros and centipede's expressions shifted from fury to absolute terror. They couldn't comprehend it— How could a mere human child possess such an overwhelming power? And yet… The longer they remained trapped within his chakra field, the more their bodies began to lift off the ground. The rhino's four legs lost contact with the earth, its bloodshot eyes widening in terror as it flailed helplessly in the air. The centipede, too, was slowly being pushed backward, its lower body detaching from the soil.

And all around them— The century-old trees of the forest were uprooted, sent flying like weightless debris. Everything was happening in an instant. Kazekaze's chakra explosion was like a roaring tsunami, consuming everything in its path. A place where nothing could survive. The two colossal beasts— They weren't just blasted away— They were hurled violently through the air, their massive bodies flipping over and over.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Each time they collided with the earth, they bounced back up, Only to slam down again— Over and over—a brutal cycle of destruction. Their immense weight, their muscles, their hardened hides— All of these once-formidable strengths had become their greatest weakness. Their internal organs were crushed under the repeated impacts, filling their bodies with pain.

How long did this last? No one knew. By the time the dust finally settled, The two giant beasts lay motionless— Like fish washed ashore by a raging tide. They didn't move. They couldn't move. Countless trees had been toppled in their wake.

Tobirama, who had been preparing to teleport in with Flying Thunder God, Stood completely frozen. His eyes, his expression, his slightly parted lips— Every detail on his face radiated pure shock. Right next to Kazekaze, Koharu was also speechless, staring at the shattered landscape around her.

What just happened?

She had braced herself for death— She had accepted that she and Kazekaze were doomed. Yet now… The rhinoceros was gone. Realizing something, Koharu's head snapped around. The ten-meter-long centipede— Also gone.

Was this… a miracle?

She blinked repeatedly, desperately hoping for someone—anyone—to explain. What the hell just happened? How did two unstoppable monsters just… disappear? Was this some kind of genjutsu? Had she been caught in an illusion this entire time? But this wasn't a duel. It was a team exercise. Who in their right mind would cast genjutsu on their own allies?!

'And that power just now… was that really chakra…?'

Koharu swallowed nervously. That wasn't taijutsu. That wasn't ninjutsu. It was just chakra unleashed at full force. The only thing she could compare it to— Was something Lord Tobirama himself had once used. But looking around… Tobirama wasn't even here.

'No way…'

Koharu's mind reeled, her gaze shifting toward Kazekaze. Could it be? Had he—a seven-year-old—done this?! As impossible as it seemed, The only logical answer was Kazekaze.

It wasn't just Koharu.

Hiruzen.

Danzo.

Kagami.

Homura.

Torifu (*I know he was not there before, blame the author*).

As the dust settled, and the threat was eliminated, They all had the same thought. What just happened? Why had such an immense pressure made it impossible to open their eyes? Why had two massive beasts been hurled through the air? And most importantly— Who had saved Kazekaze and Koharu? Their first instinct was that it had to be Hashirama or Tobirama. But… When the dust fully cleared— Neither Hashirama nor Tobirama had appeared. Instead, it was Kazekaze—standing calmly beside Koharu.

"Hiruzen, what the hell just happened?" Homura approached Hiruzen, seeking an answer.

After all, Hiruzen was the most capable among them. But— For once, he had nothing to say. His expression twisted in uncertainty. Because he didn't know either. From everything he had witnessed— It seemed like Kazekaze had released a chakra wave that blasted the two beasts away.

But that was insane. A seven-year-old child…? No matter how talented… No matter how much of a genius… This was beyond ridiculous.

"To be honest, I'd rather believe Lord Tobirama appeared out of nowhere, used Flying Thunder God, killed the beasts, then teleported away."

If that were the case, Hiruzen would actually feel better. But…He hadn't sensed Tobirama's chakra.

Kazekaze's chakra explosion hadn't killed the two beasts. At a distance, the rhino and centipede were regaining consciousness. It took them four attempts just to stand again. But when they turned back toward Kazekaze— There was no desire for revenge. There was no fighting spirit. Only absolute, primal fear. A fear written into their very instincts. Like a rabbit encountering a lion.

Their minds screamed one thing— This creature is DANGEROUS. RUN.

Without hesitation— The two massive monsters turned and fled— Not daring to look back.

Hiruzen and the others watched this unfold, their expressions blank. These weren't just any beasts. In the Forest of Death, they were kings of the wild. And yet… They had fled in terror from a human child.

"So… this is the grandson of Lord Hashirama." Hiruzen turned to stare at Kazekaze's profile.

As much as he didn't want to accept it— When every other possibility had been ruled out, No matter how insane the truth seemed— There was only one correct answer.

It wasn't Hashirama.

It wasn't Tobirama.

It was Kazekaze himself.

Senju Kazekaze.
