Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

Moreover, her figure and appearance are quite to Qingshui's liking.

Sometimes, if you want to become Hokage, you can first become the man who is Hokage...

"Tobirama, this is why I summoned your soul into my body. The current system of hidden villages cannot bring peace to Konoha or the ninja world."

Aokiji raised his head, gazing at the azure sky in sync with Tobirama Senju's gaze, and slowly said, "This isn't your fault, but someone still needs to resolve it."

"Perhaps the ninja world will one day usher in true peace, but in the meantime, many people will suffer what Tsunade went through, or even suffer a thousand times worse. I don't want to wait that long."

Tobirama Senju nodded slowly. If anyone had the clearest and most thorough understanding of the situation in the ninja world, it could only be him.

In this respect, Madara Uchiha was no good, and Hashirama Senju was even worse.

But Qingshui's next words temporarily made him forget the sadness brought by Tsunade: "Although I wanted to use your wisdom, I found that you're not very useful, and I still have to do it myself..."

[From the opposing target, Tobirama Senju: Swordsmanship (Analysis of Uchiha Izuna and Tobirama Senju)!]

"You brat, Aoshui!" Tobirama Senju gritted his teeth, about to retort, when he heard Aoshui continue leisurely:

"Shh, the results for the Will of Fire exam will be released tomorrow. I suggest you check your score before you try to argue with me, Your Excellency Second Hokage."

"Ridiculous! If I can't pass your test, there's no need to carve my statue on the Hokage Rock; you can have yours instead!" Tobirama Senju waved his hand, his expression confident and certain.

Aokiji shrugged. Tobirama Senju might be a good Hokage or a good teacher, but he was definitely not a good student.

No matter how good the answer is, if you start with a didactic and critical tone and launch into a long speech, it would be strange if the grader gave it a high score.

The Will of Fire test assesses obedience, not a true understanding of the Will of Fire...

The next day.

Ninja school.

Aokiji looked at the perfect score on the test paper in his hand and Hiruzen Sarutobi's thoughtful comments, and nodded casually.

For him, it was no different from writing a primary school composition.

Seeing that Aozumi had scored a perfect score, Tobirama Senju sensed something was wrong and stubbornly insisted, "It's nothing more than a draw!"

Just then, an ominous cry rang out from ahead.

"Waaaaah! What did I write? Why did I write such a thing?!" Inada Kojiro burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably at the stern comments from the Third Hokage.

Tobirama Senju froze completely.

Did he not get full marks?

Sorry I'm a little late... I didn't manage to slack off this morning, but thankfully I had a lunch break.

Chapter 39 Fine, fine, you gave me zero points, huh? I want to draw Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Slay Tobirama!

"Sigh, Tobirama, look at what you wrote, it made someone's child cry..."

The students around him all cast strange glances at Inada Kojiro.

Getting a high score in the Will of Fire course is indeed difficult, but passing is relatively easy. As long as you don't criticize Naruto, you can generally get a passing grade.

Even with Obito Uchiha's rebellious answer, Hiruzen Sarutobi, considering various factors, gave him a score of sixty.

Throughout the entire ninja academy, besides Uchiha Obito who felt he was being targeted, the only other sullen people were Sarutobi Asuma and Inada Kojiro, the two brothers who had zero points.

"Impossible. Perhaps my answer was too excellent and the score was too high, which surprised the child too much..." Senju Tobirama felt a sense of foreboding, but he still kept his mouth shut.

Aoshui shrugged, slowly walked over, sat down next to Inada Kojiro, and gently comforted him.

At the same time, Qing Shui picked up his test paper and almost laughed out loud in a very impolite way.

The scores that came at us were really impactful.

A big zero written in bold red pen, next to an angry exclamation mark!

Beneath this zero score was a comment that was even longer than the one given to Qingshui.

[Aiming too high and being impatient are unrealistic. The Will of Fire isn't just theoretical; learning to be a ninja is your top priority!]

Qingshui couldn't hold back any longer and used a secret technique deep within his bloodline on Tobirama Senju: Uchiha Maniacal Laughter!

At this moment, Qing Shui forgot about his persona and only wanted to laugh at the ordinary Hokage in front of him, laughing like a pig.

Given the condescending tone in the text and the unusual difficulty of this exam, Aoshui was almost certain that Hiruzen Sarutobi was responsible for both setting the questions and grading the papers.

Meanwhile, Tobirama Senju stared unmovingly at Hiruzen Sarutobi's commentary, but his entire body turned bright red from the inside out, almost as if a hole had been punched in his head and boiling steam was spewing out!

Compared to Aokiji, Tobirama Senju didn't need to analyze so much—he recognized Hiruzen Sarutobi's handwriting!

"Boiling Release: Crimson Tobirama Technique!"

Tobirama Senju truly hadn't expected that his beloved student, Hiruzen, would give him a zero on his answer... especially with the stern comment, which roughly meant—

You dare to talk to me about the Will of Fire?

roll!

"Good, good, good!" Tobirama Senju muttered to himself, "You better not give me a chance, you monkey..."

It has to be said that Tobirama Senju's expression and posture at this moment were exactly the same as Hiruzen Sarutobi's when he was about to whip Asuma with a belt.

Perhaps this is what is meant by the passing down of skills from master to apprentice?

"Let me think," Qing Shui said with a smile, counting on his fingers:

"The score is so high, it's such a pleasant surprise! Writing a perfect test paper is also a way of teaching me. If someone doesn't get a higher score than me, they'll change their Hokage Rock profile picture to mine..."

"What else was there? Why don't you help me think of something? After all, you said those yourself, so you probably remember them better than I do."

"Hey, this is another kind of perfect score, you didn't even get a score, it's a reverse perfect score..."

Tobirama Senju gritted his teeth silently. It was only because he was dead that he was able to do this. Otherwise, he would have already grabbed his belt and stormed into the Hokage Building to show Hiruzen Sarutobi who his master was.

You little monkey, if it weren't for me covering your retreat back then, would you be here talking to me about the Will of Fire?

Putting aside the fact that the respondent was a low-ranking ninja, how dare you say I'm not worthy of being a ninja?

Grass!

[From your laning target, Tobirama Senju: You have acquired the Ninjutsu Technique: Thousand Hands Super Strength!]

Aoshui couldn't help but laugh. This reward seemed to correspond quite well to Tobirama Senju's current mood. Was he planning to smash Hiruzen Sarutobi's head with a punch?

"Alright, Tobirama, even Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't know it was you who answered the test. Who gave you the right to be so direct?"

"That won't do! What I said were all wise words that sharply criticized the ills of the times. What right does he have to speak to me like that?" Tobirama Senju waved his hand and said in a low, detached tone:

"Monkey, you'd better run the village flawlessly, or you'd better pray you never see me..."

Qingshui sighed.

Did Tobirama Senju have this opportunity?

That probably is true.

[The Power of Tobirama Senju] allowed Aoshui to borrow his power. If Tobirama Senju intended to teach his beloved disciples a lesson at the right time, Aoshui wouldn't mind letting him use his body for a while.

Qing Shui actually quite enjoys watching his master discipline his rebellious disciple; he'll just cheer him on from the sidelines...

"Kid, do me a favor."

Senju Tobirama gradually calmed down, looked at the heartbroken Inada Kojiro, and said in a low voice, "Help me comfort this child. Even though he doesn't know it's a monkey, it's too harsh for a teacher to discipline him like this."

"After all, this is my problem."

Qing Shui nodded, thinking that the old man still had a conscience, but he didn't say anything and just gestured with his lip.

Seeing this, Tobirama Senju sighed helplessly: "I know, I know, I'll teach you a few ninjutsu techniques. I won't go back on my word."

"However, don't misunderstand, it's just casual teaching, not a master-disciple relationship!"

Aokiji chuckled and gave Tobirama Senju a disdainful look: "I'm a Konoha ninja. Have you ever heard of a Konoha ninja who would become an apprentice to someone who scored zero on the Will of Fire? You're a bit too trusting, Tobirama."

Tobirama Senju's gaze was dangerous. Although he didn't understand what "Pushin" meant for the time being, he felt it was extremely insulting...

But Qing Shui shrugged indifferently, as if to say, "What can you do to me?" He laughed three times, then turned and left with a flourish.

"Qingshui-kun, what should I do? I'm sure I'll never become a ninja! If I can't become a ninja, how will I earn money? If I can't earn money, my dream will be shattered!"

When Inada Kojiro saw the gentle Aomizu, he cried even louder: "My lifelong dream is to inherit my grandfather's secret recipe for dango (rice dumplings) and save enough money to open a three-color dango shop..."

"Why, why did I answer such a terrible test paper?!"

Upon hearing this, Qing Shui was somewhat surprised.

Is this Inada Kojiro the future owner of the Three-Colored Dumpling Shop?

"Is this your dream, Inada-kun..." Aozumi silently looked at the test paper in his hand again. This kid was probably really not suited to be a ninja.

"If that's the case, then don't be a ninja."

Inada Kojiro cried even louder. Even Aomizu said so, so he probably really had no hope.

"Go open a dango shop. The shop next to Ichiraku Ramen is mine. Go there and do a good job, Inada."

Qingshui patted him on the shoulder: "I won't charge you rent until you come of age. We can talk about profit sharing after you get started. First, try your best to make the three-color meatballs taste better."

Inada Kojiro immediately stopped crying, his hands trembling: "R-Really... Aomizu-kun!"

In the back row of the classroom, Sarutobi Asuma, clutching his still throbbing buttocks, watched the scene with a complicated expression, his mind a complete blank.

Chapter 40: The Confused Asuma Sarutobi, and the Lively Aozumi House

Sarutobi Asuma couldn't understand what the Will of Fire really meant...

In his view, if Aozumi were to follow the Will of Fire's approach, he should encourage Inada Kojiro and tell him not to be discouraged, but to continue striving to become a Konoha ninja.

However, Aoshizu did not do that; instead, he directly funded Inada Kojiro to open a shop.

Why, why?

Why would Aozumi encourage someone like Might Guy, a complete failure, to progress step by step, but not Inada Kojiro?

But seeing Kojiro Inada's joyful smile, Asuma was confused.
