Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

"And you, seem to be walking the same path. Do you remember the first time we met?"

"Yes."

Hideki nodded. He remembered that incident vividly; he would naturally not forget Tsunade's 'big, big, big' voice.

Although, in Hideki's eyes, the 'big, big, big' was other scenery.

"Of course, I remember. Back then, our teacher was being chased by the thugs from the casino, but he was able to restrain his emotions and didn't act.

Of course, the most unlucky thing was encountering that Fourth Raikage guy. What a pain…"

"That guy probably thinks you're even more of a pain, right?"

Tsunade smiled slightly, continuing to look at the moon in the sky.

"When I was young, I longed to be like my two grandfathers. The clan always had high expectations for me, hoping that I could grow.

It's just that the war took them away, and it seems I haven't lived up to their expectations.

In fact, how could I not want to be like my Second Grandfather, able to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to shuttle through the enemies, how could I not hope to be like my Great Grandfather, possessing the invincible Wood Release?

It's not just me, who in the entire Senju clan wouldn't want that? But the reality is that it's probably very difficult for anyone to reach their level.

But you are different. You really surprised me back then, and it was because of you that I chose to return to Konoha."

The Senju clan's heritage, especially with the appearance of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.

Who wouldn't yearn to reach their level?

Especially the direct descendants of Hashirama Senju, their inner longing is even greater.

But alas, some things can't be achieved just by wishing.

Tobirama Senju had no descendants, and among Hashirama Senju's descendants...

Besides Tsunade, who else can be remembered?

"Actually, I didn't expect it to turn out this way either."

Hideki shook his head with a sigh. He was also quite helpless because he wasn't a Senju at all.

"Back then, I was just an orphan. Who would know these things?"

"Yes, fate is fickle."

Tsunade blinked and sighed softly again.

"Some things are just so wonderful; perhaps it's fate.

I once heard some words you said. Originally, I didn't think about them carefully, just thinking you were fooling people.

But now that I think about it, what you said actually makes a lot of sense."

"Oh? What is it?"

"For example, the more one craves perfection, the less likely they are to get what they want."

Looking at Hideki's puzzled gaze, Tsunade poured herself another cup of sake, and after drinking it down in one gulp, she said softly.

"After all, the wind carries the sounds of unfulfilled desires. The Senju clan, ha...

Isn't it the same? Isn't it all about unfulfilled desires?"

"."

Hideki was a little embarrassed. He only thought those words sounded impressive, so he repeatedly used them to fool people.

He really didn't expect Tsunade to know about them, which made him feel a little ashamed.

"But, perhaps it's because you didn't seek it that you have achieved this much."

Tsunade said softly, looking at the full moon in the lake, showing a hint of faint disappointment.

"Looking back at the Senju clan, the more they seek, the less they achieve. The same goes for the village.

From the reports I've seen, the Uchiha are the same. Perhaps this is all destined."

"Everything is in the past, Teacher."

Hideki fell silent for a moment. He pushed the cup of sake in front of him towards Tsunade and poured another cup for her before continuing.

"Now, haven't you already obtained that power? I think everything has been changed, hasn't it?"

"Perhaps."

Tsunade drank the sake in her cup in one gulp, then raised her head again to look at the full moon in the sky.

In three years, Hideki had really done a lot of things with the Tenseigan.

Just one thing, Tsunade was one of them.

Although the two of them currently only control stronger Wood Release and their eyes have transformed into Eternal Eyes, there haven't been many other improvements.

But with such changes, as long as Hideki's strength continues to increase and he understands more of the power of higher life forms.

Then, these things will no longer be a problem.

"But, you are always ahead of everyone else. You have no idea how much pressure you put on people…"

Tsunade drank another cup of sake, and her face became slightly flushed.

"This…"

Hideki was also a little headache. His progress was fast, and it also became someone else's trouble?

In fact, he always felt that if he only focused on one skill, then his progress would only be faster.

It's just that he has a greater pursuit, which constantly promotes the birth of the 'bucket account'.

He himself felt that his progress was actually a bit slow, at least compared to Naruto, who only used three years to go from a rookie Genin to a savior.

But, his progress became a pressure monster in Tsunade's eyes?

"Don't deny it. Your progress is probably unmatched, and your contribution to Konoha is probably unmatched by few."

Tsunade took another sip of sake, the blush on her face grew even bigger, she turned sideways and changed her sitting posture, a mass of white tenderness rose and fell.

"Your progress is clear to me. The old man once said that you were the successor to the Fourth Hokage, but he soon felt that you were the successor to the Second Hokage.

But as Obito Uchiha made your Wood Release appear, your progress became unstoppable, slowly becoming the successor to the First Hokage from the initial successor to the Second Grandfather.

Now, you alone have probably gathered all the abilities of the First and Second Hokage, and you have probably already surpassed them!"

All descendants of the Senju clan, whether they still bear the Senju name or not, will feel proud of you.

Not only them, but the entire Konoha is proud and excited for you, because you not only represent the Senju, but also the entire Konoha!

Hearing Tsunade's words, Hidekazu's lips curled into a smile.

Even if these are all facts, who doesn't like being 'praised'?

"Since I'm so good, why did you say I shouldn't be accepted as a disciple?"

However, Hidekazu didn't want to continue listening to these words. He tilted his head, continued pouring sake for Tsunade, and then asked curiously.

"Could it be that you feel uncomfortable because your disciple has surpassed the teacher, or is it that..."

"Tch."

Tsunade took another gulp of sake, then simply stood up and walked straight to Hidekazu's side, sitting down.

Soft hair fluttered in the wind, touching Hidekazu's cheek, and a faint fragrance lingered around his nose. Even a veteran like Hidekazu felt a slight flutter of his heart.

Tsunade turned her head to look at Hidekazu, while also picking up the sake bottle and gulping it down fiercely. Only after finishing a bottle of sake did she blush and whisper.

"I haven't reached that point yet... I just said that your growth is too fast, so fast that it's unimaginable.

Now you are the most perfect member of the Senju clan, and your descendants have also become the key. This is everyone's expectation, do you understand?"

"..."

Hidekazu was stunned by Tsunade's words, and then he himself couldn't help but laugh.

He remembered saying these words to Yuugao, and it was because of these words that he obtained his current 'wonderful' life.

Although Shisui occasionally comes to 'make trouble', that hateful 'desire to win' leaves Hidekazu and Yuugao helpless, but at least everyone is doing well.

He had already put this matter behind him, but he didn't expect Tsunade to bring it up, which made him feel somewhat dumbfounded.

"Speaking of which, you're quite good-looking, and your strength is also strong. The only flaw is that you're a bit lecherous..."

Tsunade opened another bottle of sake, took a big gulp directly, and became a little wobbly. She looked at Hidekazu and whispered.

"But you're so lecherous, how come you don't even have a child?"

"..."

Hidekazu roughly knew what Tsunade's trouble was, but her question made Hidekazu's head ache a bit.

Moreover, whether or not he has children is really not his fault. His current situation makes him suspect that he has 'biological isolation' from humans.

Otherwise, how come he has been working so hard for so long without any results?

Hidekazu remained silent, while Tsunade continued to drink sake.

The moonlight was clear and serene. Above the silent lake, there was only the gentle night breeze and the sound of Tsunade drinking.

"Moreover, it's not just you..."

After a long while, Tsunade leaned her cheek on Hidekazu's shoulder and gently put down the sake bottle with her fair hand.

She stared intently at the sky and pondered for a long time before whispering.

"Your growth has also caused me suffering. We are both Senju, and we both possess Wood Release.

I don't know which bastard came up with the idea that the Senju clan needs a pure bloodline to continue.

A continuation that truly belongs to the Senju, belongs to Konoha, and inherits the purest power.

This kind of crap is really bothering me, you know?"

Tsunade's voice was a little intermittent, and Hidekazu could hear the displeasure in her voice.

Hidekazu admitted that although he called her 'teacher', he didn't truly regard Tsunade as a teacher in the real sense.

After all, as a transmigrator, besides envying Prime Minister Cao, he also envied Yang Guo.

But now, sitting on this vast lake, feeling Tsunade's hesitation and depression, Hidekazu's heart suddenly became very calm, and he couldn't muster any other thoughts.

"Teacher, don't overthink it."

Hidekazu said softly, holding her slender jade hand. The slightly cool and delicate touch made him quite fond of it.

"Some things should be left to nature. Actually, I've known some things for a long time, and I've also noticed the changes in your attitude.

But haven't you already made a choice, choosing to let things be? Don't worry, the Third Hokage won't live for many more years, he won't be able to nag for too long."

"...This guy."

Tsunade couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. After venting the drunkenness brought about by the alcohol and the dissatisfaction in her heart, she slowly seemed to have some impulse.

Although Hidekazu's words disrupted her thoughts, that one sentence 'let things be' seemed to have always been what she desired in her heart.

So, should she just...

Solve these troublesome things?

Thinking of this, Tsunade bit her lower lip. She suddenly raised her hands and forcefully pushed Hidekazu down, lying in the awning of the boat.

In an instant, the small boat on the river swayed, and the surrounding lanterns and cheers concealed everything.

"Teacher, what are you doing..."

Hidekazu was stunned for a moment. He supported himself on the deck with his elbow, and when he saw Tsunade reaching out to wrap her arms around his neck, he immediately understood what was happening.

"Uh, Teacher, please respect yourself, this is not a joke..."

"Who's joking with you..."

Anyway, the words have already been spoken, and the thoughts in her heart have taken over.

Tsunade looked down at Hidekazu's face seriously from a high position.

"Anyway, you're a lecherous person, why are you starting to pretend to be reserved now?

Uchiha Hikari, she lived hundreds of years ago, she was so hungry, and you're still worried?"
