As he grew older and became more sensible, he learned that his father was the Fourth Hokage.
He can view the position of Hokage with a calm and ordinary mindset.
He was also very happy to learn that the person he respected and loved most was running for the Fifth Hokage.
On the other hand, his sister Tsunade is also running for the Fifth Hokage.
He was caught in a dilemma, unsure of whom to support.
Kawasaki hadn't seen Naruto for a while.
He reached out and stroked their heads, one on each side.
"Even you guys know about this?"
Sasuke nodded and said, "It's spread throughout the whole school."
Naruto chimed in, "After we left school, everyone was talking about it."
Kawasaki chuckled, though he wasn't actually that interested in the Hokage position.
Those previous statements were merely intended to mislead the Third Hokage and cause him to make the wrong judgment.
If the Third Hokage does not abdicate voluntarily, Kawasaki will continue to win over various ninja clans and expose the Third Hokage's dirty secrets until he is removed from office.
However, the third generation guessed Kawasaki's next move and simply took the initiative to start the election for the fifth generation.
But for Kawasaki, the election for the fifth generation leader was just a formality.
His real purpose was to do something else during the campaign.
The Hokage selection had already been decided internally, so he had nothing to be excited about. It was just that others didn't know, which caused quite a stir.
"Teacher, when will Dad and my brother come back?"
Sasuke's words brought Kawasaki back to reality. He said, "Fugaku and Itachi's eyes need to be cloned, which will take about half a month."
"However, even though their eyes have been copied, they haven't opened them yet."
Sasuke said somewhat dejectedly, "Does that mean my brother won't be able to train with me anymore?"
Kawasaki laughed and said, "Sasuke, what are you thinking? Even if your brother is blind, you still can't beat him."
Sasuke scoffed, "I already have three tomoe, how could my brother possibly beat me if he doesn't have eyes?"
Kawasaki didn't argue with him, saying, "Let's wait until Itachi recovers."
"Naruto, you and Sasuke are graduating soon. Who would you like to be in the same class with?"
Naruto's eyes lit up when he mentioned graduation.
At school, they don't learn much beyond academic subjects.
They all longed to become ninjas and begin carrying out missions.
Naruto put his arm around Sasuke's shoulder and said, "Of course I want to be with Sasuke. As for the others, it doesn't matter, they're all not as strong as Sasuke anyway."
Right, Sasuke!
Sasuke awkwardly pulled away from Naruto's hand and said nonchalantly:
"No one in the class is particularly outstanding, except for you who are a bit stronger."
"It would be nice to be in the same group as you."
Naruto said cheerfully, "It's a deal then, Sasuke. From now on, we'll be inseparable!"
Sasuke snorted and said, "It's not like we can decide who gets assigned to a class."
Kawasaki comforted him:
"Don't worry, I guarantee I can put you in the same class."
Naruto was so excited he exclaimed, "Wow! Senpai is amazing!"
As Kawasaki had predicted, everything he said before has come true.
So his first reaction wasn't to doubt or verify, but to cheer.
Seeing Naruto's excited expression.
Sasuke turned his head and muttered, "Idiot."
However, Kawasaki caught a glimpse of a smile on Sasuke's lips.
"What are you so happy about?"
Tsunade just came from the hospital.
"Tsunade-neechan!"
Naruto shouted happily.
Although she had heard it many times, Tsunade could not help but laugh every time she heard Naruto call her that.
"Tsunade-sama."
Sasuke is much more familiar with Tsunade now, so he's less reserved.
"Okay, what were you guys talking about just now?"
Naruto couldn't wait to share his joy:
"The senior just said that Sasuke and I will be in the same class after graduation!"
Tsunade thought about it and realized that Sasuke and Naruto's identities might actually be assigned to the same group.
Tsunade nodded and said, "Kawasaki is right, you two really might be in the same class."
"Alright, you guys go to the dining table first. I have something to discuss with Tsunade."
Kawasaki shooed the two boys to the table.
"Tsunade, the higher-ups held a meeting today, and the Third Hokage has decided to officially elect the Fifth Hokage."
·····Requesting flowers·········
"Oh? It was the old man who suggested it?"
Tsunade asked in confusion. She was aware of Kawasaki's recent activities and had thought he would request the removal of the Third Hokage.
Kawasaki chuckled:
"The third generation is not one to sit idly by and wait for death. Guess who he nominated?"
Tsunade rolled her eyes and said, "Who else could it be but you and Orochimaru?"
Kawasaki shook his head and said:
"Elder Advisor Mitokado Homura has nominated you for the Fifth Hokage election."
..
Upon hearing this, Tsunade's eyebrows furrowed together, and she said:
"I have no interest in the Hokage; that old fogey is just being nosy!"
Tsunade wasn't stupid; she immediately realized that someone wanted to use her as a pawn.
Even if I don't take the shot, I should at least make Kawasaki suffer a little.
"I will withdraw from the election tomorrow."
.........................
Tsunade said that she really had no interest in becoming Hokage.
For her, life is pretty good now. She has a moderate amount of work every day, and after finishing her 119 work, she can still gamble a little for fun.
She has no worries about food and drink, and her younger brother even keeps her company during meals.
Once you become Hokage, all of that will be gone.
She naturally refused.
Kawasaki stopped her, saying:
"Wait, there's still a long way to go before voting. I have something else to say."
"Shouldn't this batch of medical trainees be starting their internships?"
Mentioning this, Tsunade also said with a bit of a headache:
"Yes, relying solely on theory and ordinary animals has limited teaching effectiveness."
"It's not wartime now, and there aren't many wounded."
"Your place is far from Konoha, so you wouldn't bring the wounded here."
Kawasaki had already thought of this, and said to Tsunade:
"That's exactly what I've been thinking about, which is why I plan to offer free hands-on training for a while."
"Practical training?"
Tsunade didn't react for a moment.
Kawasaki explained it in detail.
"...In actual combat, injuries are inevitable. The medical team can have as many wounded as they need."
Tsunade looked at Kawasaki as if she had seen a ghost and said:
"I thought you wanted to gain political achievements, but it turns out you had this in mind."
Kawasaki shrugs, a move he often uses:
"It wasn't a deliberate attempt to gain political achievements."
"But it's better for newly graduated genin to gain practical experience than for them to die on the battlefield in confusion."
The genin die the most on the battlefield; those who graduate from the ninja academy now are considered better off.
During wartime, at ninja academies, as long as you could throw shuriken and throwing darts, you were considered to have graduated.
Chapter 197 Resurrection of Yahiko! Kawasaki blessing!
The chances of these low-ranking ninjas, lacking practical combat experience, surviving on the battlefield are predictably slim.
