Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 6 His thoughts are different from those of ordinary children

When Tobirama found Hashirama, he happened to witness Hashirama losing all his money.

His older brother is good at everything, except he's too fond of gambling, and he's completely bad at it. He falls into the category of someone who's both incompetent and loves to gamble.

Hashirama, however, saw through his brother's transformation technique at a glance and simply held out his hand: "Give me the money."

Tobirama's face darkened, he clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice, "I have something very important to tell you."

After transforming, Hashirama looked at his younger brother and heard his tone, which didn't sound like he was joking... Well, his younger brother simply didn't have the ability to joke.

The two left the gambling den and sat down under a big tree.

"Speak, what is it?" Although he was in his transformed form, Hashirama used his original voice.

After thinking for a moment, Tobirama said to Hashirama, "I have two plans regarding that wetland bridge."

Hashirama burst into laughter: "As expected of you, you came up with two solutions right away. Hmm, as expected of the Second Hokage."

Tobirama remained expressionless upon hearing this praise. Don't think he didn't know that the position of Hokage was more of a constraint for him.

You're so comfortable giving me this position to enjoy yourself, but I'm the one who's doomed.

Forget about that, let's get down to business.

Tobirama then explained the plan that five Jonin could complete in a day, as well as the plan that Yua had mentioned, which involved hiring hundreds of people to build the bridge.

Hashirama stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment, then looked up at Tobirama in surprise: "Was it really Yua who proposed it?"

Tobirama said expressionlessly, "Ah, and he said that instead of giving the money for repairing the bridge to five Jonin, it would be better to distribute it to the hundreds of bridge workers."

Hashirama burst into hearty laughter.

Then he looked at Tobirama and said, "I don't know exactly what he's thinking, but from this point of view, he's more suitable for this position than you."

Tobirama knew that Hashirama was joking. The position of Hokage is not something that can be done just by handling the planning of a bridge construction project. One must also gain the recognition of the entire village, and most importantly, one's personal strength.

Youya is too young; it's completely impossible.

"What I'm curious about... is how he came up with this method." Tobirama squinted at Hashirama.

Hashirama immediately understood: "You wouldn't... be thinking of slacking off, would you?"

Tobirama immediately got angry: "What do you mean 'slacking off'? He's going to check on the next generation of Konoha! Besides, if that brat really has the talent, then we can train him to be an advisor in the future."

Hashirama nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, you're right. You're not trying to slack off, you're not trying to be lazy, you're not not working hard."

Tobirama hardened his fist. "You bastard, you're out there having a good time every day, leaving all those things to me to handle. I finally got a chance, can't I even enjoy myself?"

I am the Hokage!

……

Hashirama and Tobirama have transformed into school teachers. These two teachers are on a mission today, so they're just using their identities.

In fact, the current ninja academy is more like a kindergarten than a school.

It is a place that gives children the opportunity to get to know each other and their peers in the same village.

Although the teachers at the school are responsible, these ninjas usually learn ninjutsu and go on missions. They have never learned how to be teachers.

Children are always mischievous, and the key is that most of these children are from various powerful families, so they are really not to be trifled with. Many ninjas would rather travel thousands of miles and exhaust themselves than continue to suffer here.

Therefore, teachers actually take leave every day due to various "force majeure reasons".

Hashirama and Tobirama slipped in easily, and then the two even acted as teachers for a bit. However, they didn't care about the kids' mischief in class; after all, it's good for kids to be a little naughty.

However, during the break, Hashirama and Tobirama were very curious when they saw Yuya standing on the table and telling other children about his experiences on his journey to the western continent.

Why did you go to the west?

They didn't even explain this clearly before saying we were going west, and then it was all about fighting ninjas and wild beasts...

No, which ninja have you fought? Wasn't it always just one-sided beatings?

The two brothers wanted to complain, but seeing how attentively the other children were listening, they decided against going up and grabbing the little brat.

During lunch break, after finishing the bento box that Mito's wife had prepared for him, Yuya set his sights on the other people's bento boxes.

"Oh? Kazuko, your bento box doesn't look very good today." Yua was the first to approach Hinata Kazuko.

The little girl frowned at You Ya: "What are you trying to say?!"

You Ya shook his head and sighed, "This bento box doesn't look appetizing. Who made it for you?"

The little girl glared angrily, her eyes wide: "My mom made this for me! How dare you say it's not good?! Have you even eaten it yet before you say it's bad?!"

You Ya curled his lip and held out his chopsticks with a disdainful look: "Then let me see if it tastes good."

Then, with a few bites, he put the large meatball and chicken leg into his mouth, smacked his lips a few times, and nodded: "Hmm, not bad, the taste is indeed quite good. I apologize to you, I shouldn't have said it wasn't delicious."

Hyuga Kazuko immediately raised her head proudly: "Good to know."

Then I started eating rice, happily munching on the few green vegetables.

Yuya glanced around and locked his attention on another girl. He walked over and smugly ran his hand through his hair. "Hey, Rou, your Uchiha bento doesn't look very good. I wonder which one tastes better, yours or the Hyuga's?"

Uchiha Rou glanced at Yua, then at Hyuga Kazuko. Both the Hyuga and Uchiha were prominent clans in Konoha.

Uchiha Yu pushed the bento box towards Yua and said with a serious expression, "Please give a fair evaluation."

Youya nodded, then put the fish pieces and rabbit meat into his mouth.

"Not bad, not bad. You two have tied today. I'll give my opinion again tomorrow!"

This series of actions left Hashirama and Tobirama, who were secretly observing from outside the window, completely dumbfounded.

The two exchanged a glance and confirmed one thing.

Youya's ideas are definitely different from other kids'.

……

Yuya returned home. Today, Hashirama was unusual; he didn't go to the gambling den but instead waited for him to come home.

When Yua returned, Hashirama Senju cut to the chase and asked him, "If I were to put you in charge of the construction plan for the wetland bridge, could you handle it?"

Yuya blinked, looked at Hashirama, and then at Mito Uzumaki.

Well, the master's wife is resting with her eyes closed, probably not planning to speak.

"Well, that's possible, but I'm too small for ordinary people to obey my orders."

Hashirama immediately raised an eyebrow.

A normal child would be puzzled if they didn't immediately refuse when asked this question...

Why did you, little brat, just go along with my question?

This kid is really something...

They are completely different from ordinary children...
