The Eight-Year-Old Me Became Hokage-Chapter 103: What Did You Say? Kazekaze Inherited Big Brother’s Wood Release?

"Speak, Masakawa." Tobirama crossed his arms, indicating that Masakawa could tell him everything he knew in detail.

So, Masakawa earnestly recounted the entire sequence of events. He didn't leave out a single detail: how the Kinkaku Force reached the borders of the Land of Fire, how they found Kazekaze, and what kind of battle ensued.

Upon hearing this, Tobirama couldn't help but show a surprised expression, which, as the story unfolded, turned from surprise to astonishment!

'Kazekaze... When did he become so formidable?'

Subsequently, when Masakawa mentioned Kazekaze clapping his hands and using the Wood Human Technique and Wood Dragon Technique, Tobirama went from astonishment to silence. Yes, Tobirama was directly silenced!

Because this matter was so shocking that it left him somewhat numb! 'Goodness.' Tobirama was genuinely taken aback.

Not only did Kazekaze inherit his big brother's chakra and unmarked healing, but also his big brother's Wood Release specialty. Kazekaze inherited it all!

For a moment, Tobirama's heart was truly filled with both surprise and joy. 'As expected of Kazekaze!'

"Wait a minute..." Suddenly, Tobirama seemed to realize something, slapping his hands on the table and standing up with a start.

"What did you just say, Kazekaze wiped out the Kinkaku Force?! By himself?"

Was it Masakawa who misspoke, or did he mishear? The Kinkaku Force? Wiped out by Kazekaze... By himself! He's only seven years old, right? Even if he awakened the Wood Release, this is too exaggerated!What is the concept of a ninja force? They can cooperate and assist each other. Their strength, originally 10+10, can surge to 10x10!

Moreover, Kinkaku and Ginkaku were ninjas active since the Warring States Period. He had heard quite a bit about their deeds. Anyone targeted by Kinkaku and Ginkaku had virtually no hope of escaping their pursuit.

However, Tobirama couldn't figure it out. Why was Kazekaze so knowledgeable about Kinkaku and Ginkaku's ninja tools? Where did he get the information?

"Tobirama-sama?" Seeing Tobirama lost in thought, Masakawa had to raise his voice repeatedly to pull his thoughts back to the real world.

No matter what, he had brought Kinkaku's corpse this time. Moreover, given the current month, if they didn't promptly deal with Kinkaku's body, it would likely rot and stink.

"I understand." Tobirama called over an Anbu ninja to handle Kinkaku's body.

Then, Tobirama, with great effort, suppressed his own excitement. But the shock caused by Kazekaze left Tobirama unable to remain calm.

Thinking of all the rumors about Kinkaku and Ginkaku, Tobirama considered them at least Elite Jonin who could match him. Moreover, the subordinates of Kinkaku and Ginkaku were also at jōnin level. Even if they weren't as strong as Masakawa, they wouldn't be much weaker.

However, Masakawa emphasized that when he arrived with the support troops, the battle was already in its final stages. It was Kazekaze, with his own strength, who wiped out the entire ninja force!

Based on Tobirama's understanding of Masakawa, he couldn't imagine him lying about this. Maybe... It's time to bring Kazekaze back.

"Masakawa." Tobirama asked Masakawa with a serious expression, "What do you think of Kazekaze's performance during this time?"

"Performance?" Masakawa was taken aback, then quickly explained. The border outpost under Kazekaze's responsibility had no issues for over a month. Moreover, thanks to Kazekaze's intellect, they resolved the traps set by Kinkaku and Ginkaku. He helped the Hidden Leaf Village retrieve the intelligence scroll.

Then, when the Hidden Cloud Village invaded the Land of Fire's border, it was also Kazekaze who took action. He resolved the crisis.

Even without the connection of being the First Hokage's grandson, Kazekaze's performance was impeccable.

"With all due respect, Tobirama-sama, if you hadn't asked me, I might have been able to say a few things. But when you ask me like this, I don't know how to answer. How was Kazekaze's performance? This question completely touches on my blind spot of knowledge."

"If it weren't for what Kinkaku said before his death, I wouldn't have realized Kazekaze-sama's strategy. It's no exaggeration to say that Kazekaze-sama is the most formidable ninja I've seen in my ninja career, bar none! Most importantly, Kazekaze-sama is only seven years old this year! He defeated the Kinkaku Force at the age of seven!"

Everyone's life has its milestones. Moreover, achieving the same accomplishment at different milestones holds entirely different meanings.

For example, becoming an Elite Jonin at thirty-eight is considered normal. Becoming an Elite Jonin at twenty-eight isn't seen as remarkable. Becoming an Elite Jonin at eighteen is surprising. But if someone becomes an Elite Jonin at eight, the reaction is... Incredible. Unbelievable. A fairy tale!

Even in a novel, one wouldn't dare write it this way!

That's how Masakawa felt now. Kazekaze wasn't twenty-seven, nor seventeen. He was seven! And he wiped out the Kinkaku Force!

In Masakawa's understanding, he couldn't find words to express his feelings. Yes, compared to the shock Kazekaze brought him, the language of this world seemed utterly inadequate!

"That's my answer." Masakawa said loudly, then lowered his head once more. He wasn't flattering; he genuinely believed it.

This set of words left Tobirama dumbfounded.

'So... I'm not the only one who thinks this way!'

"Ahem." Tobirama cleared his throat, suppressing his excitement, "I understand, Masakawa. You should return to the border. By the way... Inform Kazekaze to bring Team 7 back to the village to report. As for the border outpost he's responsible for, I'll find other ninjas to take over."

In Tobirama's view, a month was enough for Kazekaze to have a certain understanding of the border system. It's time to bring him back.

"Yes!" Masakawa answered promptly, not surprised by Tobirama's arrangement. After receiving Tobirama's permission, he got up and left the Hokage's office.

Meanwhile, Tobirama sat down heavily in his chair, his heart like a stormy sea, unable to calm down for a long time.

'Maybe, I can directly appoint Kazekaze as a Special Jōnin.' Tobirama muttered to himself. He believed that after announcing Kazekaze's achievements, no one would oppose appointing him as a Special Jōnin. After all, he awakened the Wood Release!

But before that, Tobirama felt it necessary to let one person know about this! Such a significant event, enough to overturn his understanding, would be a pity not to let that person know!

So, Tobirama suddenly stood up from his chair and hurriedly left the Hokage's office.

"Big brother? Big brother!"
