The Eight-Year-Old Me Became Hokage-Chapter 106 : We Cannot Let Kazekaze Suffer Unjust Treatment

Tobirama might not possess the overwhelming strength of Hashirama, but his personality is extremely assertive. From the Warring States period, Tobirama has been active on various battlefields. Especially his signature techniques, Flying Thunder God and Water Release, are known by everyone.

Among them, the Uchiha clan knows him best. Their genius, Izuna, was defeated by Tobirama. Now, Tobirama can take over the management of Konohagakure not because of blood relations, but because of his immensely powerful strength and firm hand. Every clan leader is well aware of this and genuinely admires Tobirama. His succession as the Second Hokage is undoubtedly the will of the people.

To promote Kazekaze to Special Jonin, he doesn't need to consider anyone's opinion. This is merely a formality to present Kazekaze to everyone and inform the clans that he is appointing Kazekaze as a Special Jonin. If they agree, then from today, Kazekaze is a Special Jonin of Konohagakure. If they disagree, well, sorry. Tobirama does not intend to acknowledge their views! Besides being seven years old, Kazekaze is impeccable in every other aspect. Intelligence, strength—none of these are inferior to a Jonin. Moreover, he has awakened the same Wood Release as Hashirama! You know Wood Release, right? It's the power that can suppress the Nine-Tails!

When Tobirama asked the clan leaders who agreed and who opposed, the entire scene fell silent.

"Wood... Wood Release." The Uchiha clan leader immediately activated his Sharingan, scrutinizing Kazekaze.

Although many geniuses in their clan have awakened the Sharingan, none have awakened the Mangekyo. Meanwhile, the Senju clan has welcomed a new Wood Release user. In comparison, the Uchiha clan leader felt both envious and jealous.

'The heavens are unfair to the Uchiha clan!'

His Sharingan seemed to foresee Kazekaze wearing the Hokage robe, standing on the Hokage building, speaking to the villagers of Konoha.

'Konoha's Hokage is another member of the Senju clan!'

Even though both clans were renowned during the Warring States period, the Uchiha clan is gradually declining. This feeling made him very uncomfortable!

'Who knows what fate awaits the Uchiha clan in decades.'

"I agree." Suddenly, the Sarutobi clan leader slowly raised his hand, breaking the silence.

"Although Kazekaze is the grandson of the First Hokage, I won't be biased because of that. I have always disliked ninja who get promoted through connections. Our clan's Hiruzen never took any shortcuts. Our family would never stand up for Hiruzen. I believe that the honest Tobirama-sama shares my thoughts. Therefore, he couldn't possibly fabricate lies to deceive us for Kazekaze." The Sarutobi clan leader turned to Kazekaze with a smile,

"I think anyone who watched the Chunin Selection Exam wouldn't doubt Kazekaze's strength. Now that he has mastered Wood Release, his strength has further increased. He is fully capable of serving as a Special Jonin!"

Hearing the Sarutobi clan leader's statement, Tobirama nodded in satisfaction.

"I agree as well." The Hyuga clan leader was the second to raise his hand,

"I believe age doesn't matter; what matters is ability. Since Kazekaze defeated Kinkaku and Ginkaku, I think his ability has been proven. With his outstanding intellect and formidable strength, he protected the borders of the Land of Fire and the village! If Kazekaze hadn't undertaken so few missions and contributed more to the village, I think promoting him directly to Jonin wouldn't be an issue."

As soon as the Hyuga clan leader finished speaking, the Shimura clan leader immediately chimed in.

"The Hyuga clan leader is right. Positions should be held by those capable, not judged by Kazekaze being the First Hokage's grandson. We shouldn't view him through tinted glasses. If Kazekaze doesn't match the qualifications of a Special Jonin, even if he's the First Hokage's grandson, I wouldn't agree. Conversely, if Kazekaze is capable enough to be a Special Jonin, even if he has no blood relation to the First Hokage, I would still support him." The Shimura clan leader paused, "So, my answer is, I agree!"

Tobirama nodded slightly, feeling that these clan leaders spoke well, understanding the bigger picture and having foresight. They genuinely thought about the village's future rather than personal desires. This harmonious discussion atmosphere made Tobirama feel delighted.

Next was the Nara clan leader. "In our family, there's a saying. Hunting rabbits but bringing back a fox is commendable. But hunting rabbits and bringing back a bear is worth cheering. During the Warring States period, I heard of the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers. Undoubtedly, they are not foxes but bears. I can't think of any reason to oppose Tobirama's proposal. As the Shimura clan leader said, should we avoid this and that because of Kazekaze's background, preventing him from receiving fair treatment? Kazekaze's background isn't something he can decide. If we oppose his promotion to Special Jonin because of it, how disheartened would he be towards the village? So, I agree with the clan leaders' views." After the Nara clan leader finished speaking, Kazekaze had a face full of question marks.

'It seems... I'm not the grandson of Senju Hashirama but of Uchiha Madara.'

Subsequently, the clan leaders of the Akimichi, Yamanaka, Kurama, and several other families all raised their hands, indicating no issues with promoting Kazekaze to Special Jonin. On the contrary, if Kazekaze's background meant he had to endure unjust treatment, then this matter would undoubtedly be wrong. Unknowingly, only the Uchiha clan leader had not responded to Tobirama's proposal. However, looking at the current situation, he felt he couldn't utter a word of opposition. Gulp. The Uchiha clan leader swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling envious and jealous once more.

'Why isn't Kazekaze a member of the Uchiha clan? Uchiha Kazekaze. What a nice name! Damn it.'

"I have no objections." Finally, the Uchiha clan leader could only sigh deeply, expressing agreement.

"Hmm." Seeing that none of the clan leaders had any issues, Tobirama took a deep breath.

"Since no one has objections on this matter, then... Let me announce the final result. Kazekaze." Tobirama paused slightly, emphasizing his tone,

"I hope you understand that we are promoting you to Special Jonin because we believe you have the capability, not because of who your grandfather is. I hope you will execute your duties well and contribute to the village. Do you understand?"

Kazekaze: "???"
