Kazuki sat cross-legged at the end of Tobirama's bed, ignoring his disgusted expression, and said very familiarly: "Tell me quickly, I really want to hear your and Izuna's story!"
"It's nonsense. How could I be like him? There's not much to tell…" Tobirama subconsciously waved his hand, but was stunned for a moment, and a look of reminiscence appeared in his eyes.
It seems, maybe, possibly, probably, there is a little similarity in style and temperament?
As for history, if one counts the hundreds of times they fought each other, it seems a bit...
"Forget it, I'll just tell you history."
"Uchiha Izuna, Uchiha Madara's brother, was the true leader and commander of the Uchiha clan during the Sengoku Period. He was a very difficult foe to deal with and was known as a flawless shinobi."
Tobirama did not belittle him but gave a fair evaluation.
"Among all the enemies I have encountered, he can be said to be the most difficult. After he opened the Mangekyo Sharingan, I was once at a disadvantage and was in a very embarrassing situation."
"And Uchiha Izuna's difficulty was not limited to his strength. He had a sharp mind and a cold character, but with his clan mates, he was very kind, winning the hearts of many within the Uchiha clan. Your method of attracting Uchiha Yashiro was his old trick."
"Talented in ninjutsu, eye techniques, taijutsu and kenjutsu, he was top-class in every aspect."
"Since I was nine years old, I have become his opponent. Every time we met on the battlefield, we would fight each other, until I developed the Flying Thunder God Technique to deal with his Mangekyo Sharingan and seriously injured him with my own hands."
"I occasionally think that if he had survived at that time, I think he could see the situation clearly, then perhaps Konoha's future would be better, and Uchiha Madara would not even betray the village..."
Tobirama spoke of the past with a tone of nostalgia and melancholy. But then, his attitude became firm. "But in short, I am still stronger."
Kazuki looked at Tobirama in admiration, like a devoted fan listening to his idol recount his exploits. "Tobirama, tell me what your first fight with him was like?"
"That year, I was nine years old, he was also nine years old..." Tobirama said slowly: "It was in a forest in the Land of Fire..."
"What about the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth times?" Kazuki asked after listening to it with interest.
"Who remembers that? Kid, I'll tell you some details I do remember. Stop asking so many questions!" Tobirama snorted coldly and slowly told the story of the past.
Kazuki listened attentively, planning to try something based on his guesses.
If Uchiha Madara really thought that Kazuki resembled Uchiha Izuna and that was why he bonded with him, why not make that a reality?
Seeing his brother resurrected, an elder shouldn't skimp on expressing his emotions, right?
And if you want to be similar to the real Uchiha Izuna, you have to start with the story of Senju Tobirama.
In the ninja world, the person who knows a person best is always his enemy...
At this night story gathering, under Kazuki's praise, Senju Tobirama recounted many stories about himself and Uchiha Izuna.
From hairstyle, clothing, subconscious movements, to offensive and defensive habits, familiar ninjutsu, and the use of Sharingan.
He even talked about what he liked to eat, as at one point Tobirama had considered poisoning Uchiha Izuna…
"In short, kid, although I don't like a Uchiha kid imitating my fighting style, your water release talent, seriously speaking, is not inferior to mine..."
"So don't waste your talent learning about Uchiha Izuna. This old man's techniques are enough for you to use for a lifetime…"
Tobirama concluded with this warning.
At present, the impression of Kazuki in Tobirama's heart is still very complicated, and it cannot be simply described as good or bad.
But noticing that Kazuki was taking a similar direction to Uchiha Izuna, Tobirama took the opportunity to firmly highlight his own abilities.
From Tobirama's point of view, no matter what Kazuki's true position or thoughts were, it would be preferable to have an Uchiha Tobirama in Konoha rather than an Uchiha Izuna…
After listening to stories all night, Kazuki finally noticed something.
Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Izuna were incredibly similar.
These two people are almost cut from the same mold, except for their different looks.
If they exchanged souls and origins, there would not be the slightest sense of incongruity, their personalities would be identical…
At this moment, Kazuki also came to a conclusion.
Kazuki, who fought against Uchiha Yashiro in the form of Senju Tobirama, when his fighting method changed from Water Release to Fire Release combined with kenjutsu...
Then he would look like Uchiha Izuna!
If Uchiha Madara were to see that, it would be understandable for the old man to be excited about it.
"I understand, Tobirama, I just can't sleep and want to hear your past stories and learn more about you..." Kazuki nodded, his eyes rolling: "Although I'm a little sleepy, I still want to ask one last question."
"Go ahead."
"Who is stronger, you or Uchiha Madara? Have you ever been beaten by him?"
[From the target Senju Tobirama, you get the Sealing Technique: Five Elements!]
"Evil Uchiha clan kid, I'm going to..."
Kazuki laughed. "Good night, Tobirama."
And the moment his figure faded away, Kazuki vaguely saw that the corners of Tobirama's lips seemed to draw a smile…
...
While Kazuki and Tobirama were chatting at their night meeting.
White Zetsu, who was sent by Uchiha Madara to help Obito fulfill his dream, encountered an accident at this time.
A pool of dense black substance enveloped the White Zetsu, swallowing the Yin-Yang Release Chakra in its body that represented Uchiha Madara's will...
The third son of Princess Otsutsuki Kaguya took advantage of this opportunity. Before the combination of White Zetsu and Uchiha Madara's will replaced Uchiha Rin, it replaced Uchiha Madara's will with its own...
The Black Zetsu hid in the body of the White Zetsu, whispering excitedly: "I thought I'd have to wait until the spokesperson's stupid and crazy plan began before I could get close to this reincarnation of Indra..."
"Very good, very good, whether it is that Uchiha Kazuki or Uchiha Obito, they are both good helpers to revive my mother."
"However, Uchiha Madara's plan is really a bad taste. He actually let White Zetsu and Uchiha Obito fall in love. What a poor boy, being targeted by this old guy. "
Although Black Zetsu said that he felt sorry for Uchiha Obito, his smile was a little weird. "My first mission given by Indra is to make the Uchiha brat fall in love? Really interesting."
"Let me, Black Zetsu, show you how wonderful love is…"
"Then, destroy this unreal love in the most violent way at the moment when he is most yearning... The eye power born in this way must be wonderful..."
Black Zetsu looked up solemnly at the moon in the night sky.
For its mother, Black Zetsu is willing to give everything...
...
Ninja School.
Kazuki glanced at the test paper in front of him, took a quick look at the questions, then smiled confidently and turned the pen casually.
This is the last subject of the final test - Introduction and Overview of Fire Will.
"Tobirama, what do you think? Do you dare to see how many questions you can answer?" Kazuki spread out the test paper and said to Tobirama with a smile: "The first generation ninja school principal who summarized the will of fire will not be able to get full marks? That really makes people want to laugh..."
"Kid, don't look down on me. The monkey's will of fire is exactly what I taught him through my actions. Can this kind of examination stump me?" Tobirama sneered: "If you want me to cheat for you, just say it..."
"If you want to use your understanding of the will of fire to attract the monkey's attention to you, then rely on your own ability. I won't help you."
Kazuki raised an eyebrow. How can this old man be so pleased with himself?
[Please summarize the Third Hokage's accomplishments and share your opinion of him.]
[Talk about the differences between clan shinobi and civilian shinobi from your own experience and describe your plan for your future career as a shinobi.]
[Shinobi must follow the rules and prioritize completing missions. How important is discipline for a shinobi?]
[Explain your understanding of the Will of Fire.]
The questions cover the Third Hokage, the Will of Fire, and the current issues between clan shinobi and civilians in Konoha, as well as the lack of discipline that ninja school students lack compared to experienced shinobi.
Kazuki narrowed his eyes. This exam, both in focus and purpose, has high value and even some practical utility, unlike the trivial questions on the exams made by mediocre shinobi of the ninja school…
Every question in Kazuki's hand today seems ordinary, but they are all aimed at the current hot issues in Konoha.
In the previous Will of Fire exams, questions like 'Who is the strongest Hokage and why?' were sometimes asked that seemed to be designed to boost the Third Hokage's popularity, but in reality just put him in an awkward position.
Civilian students may not know figures like Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama, or Senju Tobirama from thirty or forty years ago, but clan students should be familiar with these legends of the shinobi world.
