Chapter 13: Chapter 13
But who is he? After only three months of systematic study, his strength has reached the level of a jonin.
In terms of identity, he is a disciple of the Hokage, and the first Hokage, which is already extraordinary.
In terms of strength and talent, I am far ahead of these old guys.
From this perspective, he was being too cautious, and Xingye Feng's nervousness suddenly eased.
Listening to the small family's whispered discussions nearby, Xingye Feng's face remained calm and unmoved.
Hashirama said nothing and remained silent, as if he was waiting for something.
And Tobirama behind him looked at a person at the main table with hidden hostility in his eyes.
Feng Hoshino's heart moved. Tobirama's hostility was so clear and he didn't hide it at all.
It seems that he was called here for what might be an unpleasant meeting, as the atmosphere was already tense before the discussion even started.
I looked at that person, he was quite old, and upon closer inspection, his strong vitality - he couldn't be from the Senju clan.
Xingye Feng was secretly surprised. This trend was not right. How could it be the Senju clan?
He thought in surprise and glanced at Hashirama with a hidden look.
Hashirama, who was standing by, was aware of his disciple's little trick. He coughed lightly and then picked up the tea on the table to cover it up.
While drinking tea, he gave Hoshino Kaede a helpless look.
"Well, it looks like there is a disagreement within the teacher's clan."
The corner of Xingye Feng's mouth twitched, and he complained inwardly, then suddenly felt helpless.
This is like a person sitting at home and disaster strikes from the sky?
No wonder Tobirama was so hostile, the Hokage's decision was actually questioned.
It was probably the matter of accepting disciples that caused dissatisfaction among the Senju clan.
After all, he is the God of the Ninja World. If you become his disciple, the benefits are self-evident, not to mention that he is a member of your own family.
The principle that good things should be kept in the family makes them feel that this is the way it should be.
Unfortunately, Hashirama is not interested in family concepts, and even Tobirama is the same.
Their strength was bound to make Qianshou's plan fail.
So, the matter is very clear. They will pick on the weak and this disciple will suffer.
"Ahem, Lord Hokage, this must be your disciple."
The person who was previously hostile to Tobirama broke the deathly silence and spoke first.
The goal is clear as soon as you open your mouth.
"Haha, Elder Naoki is right. This is the disciple I accepted a few months ago." Hashirama continued naturally, but the depth in his eyes was like a bottomless pit.
Being stared at by such a great god, Naoki felt pressured, but for the sake of his tribe, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue speaking.
"He is indeed a man of outstanding talent. Lord Hokage has a very good eye."
Look, this is the art of speaking, with ups and downs.
But please take a look at what I am saying!!
Hoshino Kaede roared inwardly.
Hashirama said: "Thank you very much, this brat still needs time to grow up."
"Haha, Lord Hokage is too modest. As the God of the Ninja World, it is natural that the disciples you accept are not bad."
Naoki seemed not to hear the deeper meaning of Hashirama's words. He continued talking to himself and ignored the murderous gaze.
The atmosphere was set just right, and what happened next was exactly as Hoshino Kaede had expected.
Elder Naoki changed the subject and blatantly set his sights on Hoshino Kaede.
"but..."
As the tone of his voice continued to lengthen, Hashirama's face suddenly darkened and he clenched his fists.
"It's not easy to be a disciple of the Hokage. I think it's necessary to take a look at his strength."
"This is also for the future of Konoha. Lord Hokage, do you think what I said is right?"
Naoki spoke very quickly, and finished what he had prepared in his mind in just a few seconds, leaving no room for retreat.
At this moment, Tobirama's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Look, is this something a human can say?
It has only been a few months since Big Brother accepted me as his disciple. Don't you know?
How dare you say such a thing!
Even Hashirama, who was always a good guy, couldn't help but look gloomy.
It's not because he is afraid that Hoshino Kaede is not strong enough, but because Naoki is forcing her by doing this.
Before he could say anything, Uchiha Madara on the side sneered and said.
"Where's your face, old man?"
These words made everyone present look extremely surprised, and they all had incredible expressions on their faces.
Aren't the Senju and Uchiha mortal enemies?
Seeing everyone's eyes falling on him, Uchiha Madara sneered, and then a tremendous momentum rose.
He pressed forward towards the crowd, instantly making them terrified, the murderous intent almost solidified into substance.
Fortunately, Hashirama acted in time and blocked most of the momentum, and said.
"Ban, calm down. We are in a meeting now. Don't release your aura all the time."
It turns out that Hashirama was really indulgent towards Madara. He could even talk about such a thing so lightly.
Tobirama, who has always been at odds with Madara, raised the corners of his mouth slightly. It was obvious that Madara's approach was to his liking.
After calming Madara down, Hashirama then looked at Naoki.
"Elder Naoki, do you want my disciple to compete with you?"
Hearing this, Naoki was delighted, but he kept shaking his head and waving his hands.
"I can't do such a shameful thing."
"It just so happens that my grandson is ten years old, not too old, so he can be his opponent."
"Hokage-sama, what do you think?"
A shameless person is invincible in the world. It's unbelievable that he can say that.
Even the other people on the field couldn't help but blush at this moment.
"Xiao Feng, what do you think?" Hashirama turned around and asked with a calm expression.
Suddenly, everyone's attention was focused on Xingye Feng.
This is a battle that must be won, even if the age difference is twice that of the other.
Only the winner has the right words.
For a moment, the patriarchs of all the major families couldn't help but reveal an expectant look.
If he wins, it's only what he should do as a disciple of the Hokage.
If we lose, it will be a difficult situation...we may never recover from it.
"How about it, little guy? It doesn't matter if you are timid. The identity of the Hokage's disciple is indeed very stressful."
Naoki looked at Hoshino Kaede with a smile, and spoke in a seductive way.
Seeing this, Xingye Feng nodded and agreed.
He shrugged his shoulders slightly and said with an indifferent expression.
"Okay, I don't care anyway. Since you want to embarrass yourself, I'll oblige you."
Although he is small, his words are extremely sharp.
Such confident words made Naoki frown, but then relaxed his brows.
He is just a five-year-old child. Even if he is the God of Ninja World, how much strength can he improve in such a short time?
Thinking of this, I felt relieved immediately.
"It's better to do it now than today. It can be considered as a performance before the meeting."
Naoki was so happy that he couldn't help but smile.
Seeing this, Hashirama gave Tobirama a look, and Tobirama understood and gestured to the window.
Suddenly, a figure disappeared.
"Then it will be in two hours at the training ground next to the Hokage building."
Hashirama made the decision immediately, and everyone expressed their disagreement.
There was still some time left in the competition, and the patriarchs of the major clans left their seats one after another, probably because they wanted to bring the younger generation of the family over to see the world.
Looking at the sparsely populated conference room, Hashirama and Tobirama looked at each other and saw smiles in each other's eyes.
