Early the next morning, Kazekaze finished his breakfast and headed straight for the training ground. After a full night of rest, he felt
more energized than ever
. It didn't take long for him to arrive at the training site. To his surprise, Might Bai was
already waiting for him
.
"996."
"997."
"998."
"999."
"1000!"
After completing
1,000 push-ups
, Might Bai stood up, flashed a
blindingly white
smile, and gave Kazekaze a thumbs-up.
"Today, we burn our youth once more!"
Kazekaze maintained a
polite smile
while thinking to himself,
As expected of the Might family.
In all his
time in the Naruto world
, he had never once
seen Konoha at 4 a.m.
. If anyone ever doubted how terrifying
self-discipline
could be— They only needed to
look at the Might family
.
"Let's start today's training challenge! First up,
500 squats!
"
To Might Bai,
500 squats
was just a warm-up—
Perfect for Kazekaze's current level.
But before training could begin,
Senju Tobirama finally arrived—fashionably late.
"Might Bai, Kazekaze, morning," Tobirama greeted.
"Good morning, Lord Tobirama," Kazekaze responded with a smile before
immediately cutting to the chase
. "Can I fight Danzo today?"
At this moment, Kazekaze
couldn't wait to battle him
. It was like finally
pulling a ridiculously overpowered SSR character in a gacha game
— And now he couldn't
resist the urge to completely crush other players!
And Danzo?
He was that other player!
"Huh? A match?" Tobirama blinked in confusion.
"Hmm? Did you forget, Lord Tobirama? I told you yesterday—I don't think I need to wait half a month."
Kazekaze paused for a moment, his
expression filled with unwavering confidence
.
"I am already strong enough to defeat Danzo."
Tobirama
froze on the spot
. Kazekaze
had mentioned this yesterday
, but at the time, Tobirama hadn't
taken it seriously
. Danzo wasn't just a Chunin— He was one of the
elite Chunin of his generation
. Although Danzo
didn't look like much now
, Tobirama was certain that
he would accomplish great things in the future
. He would become a
formidable Konoha ninja
. After all, Tobirama was
Senju Tobirama!
His ability to
judge people
was
far better
than his older brother, Hashirama.
From the very beginning, Tobirama never believed
Kazekaze could defeat Danzo
. In fact, from the very start,
he never even considered it a possibility
. Yes, Kazekaze's
talent
was terrifying— He was so strong that it was
almost monstrous
. But his
only advantage
was Senju
monstrous strength
, and Tobirama had
forbidden him from using it
. The
half-month deadline
had been set
to motivate Kazekaze
. To
push him into rigorous training
, making him
focus all his energy
on a single goal. The more
Kazekaze struggled and failed
, the
more determined he would become
— Until one day, he would
finally surpass Danzo
. That was
Tobirama's real plan
.
But now— Kazekaze had
shocked Tobirama once again
. It had
only been one day
! Yet Kazekaze was
already
demanding to fight Danzo?! And judging by his
serious expression
, he
wasn't joking
— He was
completely confident
!
"Are you really not going to wait the full half-month?" Tobirama asked, still skeptical.
Yesterday, Tobirama had personally
watched Kazekaze train under Might Bai
. Kazekaze had trained
hard
and performed
exceptionally well
. But his training
was just a numbers game
— 1,000 push-ups. 1,000 sit-ups. 1,000 squats. A
100-kilometer run
.
No real combat experience. No advanced taijutsu techniques.
So where
was this confidence coming from
? Tobirama
couldn't understand
.
"Why do I need to wait?" Kazekaze shook his head, looking
genuinely puzzled
. "I can fight Danzo
right now
! Or... does Lord Tobirama think I was
joking
yesterday?"
Tobirama was
at a loss for words
. Because he genuinely
didn't know how to respond
. Kazekaze's
eyes were sharp and determined
— There was
no arrogance or recklessness
in them. Could he really
defeat Danzo
? But after
just one day of training
... Tobirama couldn't make sense of it— Yet he also felt
a strange anticipation
.
"Might Bai, go find Danzo," Tobirama finally said.
Even he
was curious now
. What exactly gave this
seven-year-old brat
so much confidence?! Might Bai, however,
was stunned
.
"Lord Tobirama, are you seriously letting Kazekaze fight Danzo?" Might Bai's
eyes widened in disbelief
.
He had never imagined
Tobirama would agree
to such an absurd request from a seven-year-old! He
knew
Danzo. Among their generation of Konoha graduates— Danzo had
excelled in both written and combat exams
. Without the
The Eight Inner Gates
, Might Bai
doubted he could last even three moves against Danzo
. Especially considering Danzo's
Wind Release
. Among their
peers
,
no one
could match his mastery of Wind Release!
And Kazekaze? He was
only seven
! How long had he
been training
? Just
one day
?!
'One day of training, and now he wants to fight Danzo? This has to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard!'
That was
Danzo!
"Kazekaze, I don't know why you're so eager to fight Danzo," Might Bai said, taking a deep breath. "But do you really think you can surpass
ten years of Danzo's training
... after just
one day
?" Might Bai was
trying to talk some sense into him
— To convince Kazekaze to
stick to proper training
. But Kazekaze simply
smirked
.
"You've never seen me fight—so how do you
know
I can't win?"
Might Bai: "???"
"Might Bai, go get Danzo."
Tobirama repeated the command.
"But... Lord Tobirama..." Might Bai
wanted to argue
, but
Tobirama's glare shut him up instantly
.
Swallowing his words, he had no choice but to obey. Then, Tobirama turned back to Kazekaze and
gave him a warning
.
"You're free to challenge Danzo whenever you like. But if you
lose
, don't blame me for not warning you—
the consequences will be serious.
"
