The Eight-Year-Old Me Became Hokage-Chapter 138: Shock in the Land of Waves

Sarutobi Hiruzen blinked, looking at the Hōzuki clone trapped in the Water Prison by Kazekaze. In an instant, he understood!

"I get it!" Hiruzen couldn't help but exclaim, instantly drawing the attention of the others. Everyone turned their attention to Hiruzen, and he began to explain.

"Kazekaze's Water Prison Jutsu can restrict the movements of the Steaming Danger Tyranny, thus slowing down the heating speed of the external oil. At the same time, the cold water surrounding it can absorb the heat released by the oil. This prevents the internal water from boiling and producing steam!"

This fundamentally solves the most troublesome aspect of the Steaming Danger Tyranny!

"However, although it seems that the Water Prison Jutsu is the best counter to the Steaming Danger Tyranny. And this jutsu isn't even of a high level. But... there are probably very few in the entire ninja world who could think of this method and successfully execute it."

Hiruzen swallowed hard, stunned by Kazekaze's tactics! To him, it was like a game of shogi. Although there are many moves in shogi, the decisive move that determines victory is often just one! Even though everyone realizes it when the final move is made. This is the divine move. But... The person who can see this move and make it is often one in a million. A genius!

And the situation before us is not something that can be compared to shogi. A slight mistake could result in being killed by Hōzuki Gengetsu's jutsu! Under such pressure, to remain calm, analyze, and think of a strategy is undoubtedly one in a million among the one in a million! Especially that Wood Release clone, which was clearly a foreshadowing laid by Kazekaze in advance. Considering the timing, when the Steaming Danger Tyranny first detonated, Kazekaze had already completed his analysis and began his setup.

"Every time the Steaming Danger Tyranny cools down, it pauses on the ground for a second before moving again. With Kazekaze's hand seal speed, in one second, his water clone couldn't complete the steps of emerging from the puddle and then forming seals to perform the Water Prison Jutsu. So, he used the Wood Release clone to extend the time the Steaming Danger Tyranny paused on the ground."

At this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but gasp. Goodness. He was simply amazed. How is Kazekaze's mind even wired? In battles between ninjas, often predicting the opponent's next move can determine the outcome. And now... It seemed as if every move of Hōzuki Gengetsu was within Kazekaze's expectations! Anyone unaware might think he knew Hōzuki Gengetsu inside out!

It's important to know that this was Kazekaze's first encounter and first battle with Hōzuki Gengetsu. Before this, Kazekaze couldn't have obtained any information about him. All of this was judgment made on the spot! Absolutely brilliant!

"Is this what a Konoha ninja is like..." Kabi, witnessing this scene, was filled with admiration for Kazekaze. Everyone could see Hōzuki Gengetsu's strength. In Kabi's view, even if all the samurai of the Land of Waves attacked together, they would stand no chance against Hōzuki Gengetsu's Steaming Danger Tyranny. This is true terror! Utter despair!

Yet such a terrifying jutsu was unraveled by Kazekaze in the blink of an eye! What's more astonishing is that Kazekaze is only... Seven years old! A seven-year-old genius! It's simply astounding!

The Daimyo stared blankly at Kazekaze's profile, and his mind couldn't help but recall what he had said before. Even if it's the Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village! As long as I'm here! He won't be able to kill you! Moreover, Kazekaze's features were already delicate. Even at just seven, it was clear that in the future, he would have sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding a fresh and handsome aura. If he grew taller, his figure would be slender and upright. He would be the perfect man.

Meanwhile, Kagami, Koharu, Homura, and Danzo were even more shocked. Although they had fought Kazekaze before, in that battle, Kazekaze relied on his overwhelming strength. He completely overpowered them. However, this battle was different. Hōzuki Gengetsu's strength far exceeded theirs, and even Kazekaze's Wood Release was ineffective against the Steaming Danger Tyranny. This battle was won entirely by Kazekaze through his intellect!

"Not only does he have abundant Chakra, amazing ninjutsu, and swift taijutsu, but even his mind is exceptional..." Koharu stared blankly at Kazekaze. Her heart was completely captured by this little seven-year-old boy. Why...

Kazekaze is only seven years old. If he were seventeen this year. I could! I could! I really could! Gulp. Koharu swallowed hard, her throat moving. She couldn't help but feel a bit frantic inside. Why couldn't Kazekaze have been born a few years earlier!

"Is this the bloodline resulting from the union of the Senju and Uzumaki clans..." Danzo gasped, thinking that Kazekaze's terrifying intellect and reasoning were thanks to Hashirama's excellent genes. Also thanks to Hashirama's excellent genes.

Homura collapsed to the ground, feeling relieved, "As long as Kazekaze is our captain, maybe there won't be any crises. This is simply too terrifying, Captain Kazekaze."

And just as everyone was feeling deeply shocked, Kazekaze activated the Kagura Mind's Eye ability, locking onto Hōzuki Gengetsu's position. On one hand, if Hōzuki Gengetsu didn't die, he would never let the Daimyo go and would find a way to return. On the other hand, he was the Second Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village. He might even be the strongest Mizukage in the history of the Hidden Mist Village.

"During the First Shinobi World War, the first leaders of the Five Great Ninja Villages all passed away. It was the Second Kages who together attacked Konoha."

If Hōzuki Gengetsu is spared here, when Hashirama passes away, he would surely lead the elite ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village to invade Konoha. Rather than waiting for that time and letting Hōzuki Gengetsu kill Konoha's ninjas, it's better to deal with him while he's at his weakest. This is a zero-sum game.

"No matter what, my goal is to replace Hiruzen and become the Hokage of Konoha. Since I aim to be Hokage, I should have the resolve of a Hokage. Being wishy-washy and indecisive will only make Konoha weak."

I must... Be decisive and resolute! Besides, this isn't the first time I've dealt with an enemy. Kazekaze used the Body Flicker Technique to appear in front of Hōzuki Gengetsu.

"You..." Seeing Kazekaze suddenly appear, Hōzuki Gengetsu quickly activated his Chakra and used the Water Ball Jutsu. In an instant, countless bubbles floated up from beneath Hōzuki Gengetsu, rushing towards Kazekaze and exploding on the spot. The resulting smoke gradually dispersed, leaving only a wooden log in place. It was clearly a Substitution Jutsu.

"Stop struggling, after using the Steaming Danger Tyranny, you're now too weak to have much Chakra left." Kazekaze appeared again, a pale blue Chakra ball forming in his hand.
