3 Chapter 2 I'm The Man Who Wants to be The Hokage

The next day, early in the morning.

"Kurenai, be careful on the road. By the way, did you bring your lunch box? Remember to go home early after school..."

"Un, okay, I know."

After bidding farewell to her old father, she bounced out of the house.

"I can finally start my ninja career, um...although I'm still just a ninja-in-training!" Thinking of the new good friend she met yesterday, Kurenai's heart was full of expectations for a better school life.

Before long, she arrived at the school and found her classroom.

Although she was already up early, when she walked into the classroom, there were already six or seven people in the classroom.

And surrounded by these people in the center is none other than her new good friend, Shimizu Sōseki.

"Shimizu!" In front of strangers, Kurenai finally restrained her inner joy and greeted relatively reserved.

"Kurenai!" Sōseki stood up from his seat, responded happily, and then introduced to both parties, "This is Amamiya Maki, this is Morino Ibiki, this is ..."

"Ah, hello! It's the first time we meet, please take care of me!"

"Please take care of me."

Everyone greeted a little unfamiliarly, and it was only when Sōseki lead the topic that everyone's tone became warm.

'It's because Sōseki has acted as a link for everyone!', Kurenai understood in her heart, and her eyes gleamed a little when she looked at Sōseki.

Under Sōseki's deliberate lead, everyone quickly found a common topic, and gradually, everyone's relationship gradually became closer.

The new students who enter the classroom later either rush directly to their good friend Sōseki, or were driven by the herd mentality, and slowly joined this small group.

This also caused all the freshmen, except for a few who were withdrawn or who were dismissive of it, to unite with Soseki when the bell rang for class.

The majority of the students are all ignorant about this, they just simply feel that it is fun and lively, and the fear of the unfamiliar environment in their hearts has disappeared at this moment.

But there are also a small group of sober-minded newcomers who are aware of the amazing cohesion created by Sōseki.

When Kei Yagami walked into the classroom with excitement, he unexpectedly found that the messy scene that his seniors said did not appear. Almost all freshmen sat in their seats obediently, and shouted loudly when he stepped onto the podium:

"Good morning, sensei!"

Although the voice are disorganized and mixed with a lot of laughter, and sounded like they are treating this as a game, but Yagami was still moved to tears.

'What good children...' Yagami sighed emotionally in his heart, but at the same time he could not help but silently cursed, 'Those senpai are really too much, how can such a cute student be called a demon!'

'Are your consciences not hurt for saying that?'

"Good morning, students." Yagami glanced across everyone, opened his mouth and said in a gentle tone, "I am your basic teaching teacher, Kei Yagami, you can also call me Yagami- sensei."

"I also came out from this Academy. I understand everyone's desires and worries very much. Therefore, I will try my best to help everyone in the days to come. At the same time, please don't have any fear, and just think of me as your senior."

"Next, let's all give a self-introduction." Yagami didn't do anything special, but looked at the freshman sitting first in the first row and said, "Kimura, let's start with you."

"Yes!" The student, who was called, was obviously a little nervous. Because he went to the wrong classroom before, when he found the right classroom, only the front row was left, "I... my name is Shinichi Kimura, nice to meet you all."

After saying that, Kimura sat down immediately, and Yagami said with an awkward smile, "That... well, a concise and clear introduction. However, we still have a lot of time. The later students can introduce more of their own situation, such as hobbies, dream etc."

The freshman sitting in the second place is much calmer, and without waiting for Yagami to call his name, he stood up abruptly and said, "I'm Takiya Ryosuke. My hobby is fighting. I want to dominate the Academy and then become the Hokage!"

Yagami chuckled twice and said, "It is a very powerful speech, then the next one..."

"I am Serizawa Hayato. I have no hobbies, and my dream is to become a Hokage!"

"Hey you, I'm the first one who said that is that I will become the Hokage."

"Are you still a four-year-old? Becoming the Hokage isn't about who said it first."

"You all stop fighting, the person who will become the Hokage is me, Shenyue Takuma!"

"Fools, do you guys want to fight?"

"Come on, do you think I'm afraid."

Seeing that many students were about to fight in the classroom, Yagami was sweating profusely. 'Why did the situation suddenly change into the direction that the seniors said? '

"Wait, everyone calm down!"

Unfortunately, not only did no one listen to his dissuasion, there were even many students fanning the flames.

"Fight, fight, fight!"

At this moment, Sōseki, who had been observing secretly, suddenly stood up and said, "Ryosuke, Hayato, Takuma, can you listen to a few words of mine?"

"Huh? Sōseki, you can say it." Takiya Ryosuke scratched his head.

"Hmph, I'm just giving Sōseki some respect." Serizawa Hayato said arrogantly, folding his arms.

"Huh? Does Sōseki also want to become the Hokage?" Shenyue Takuma was confused.

Not only the three of them, but the students who were fanning the flames suddenly died down. This change gave Yagami an inexplicable illusion of who was the real teacher is.

Sōseki asked softly, "Can you tell me why you want to be Hokage?"

"Of course, it's because Hokage is a title that can only be held by the strongest ninja in the village!"

"I want everyone in the village to recognize me!"

"I didn't think about it that much. I just thought that if I became Hokage, my parents wouldn't dare to hit me!"

Everyone has a subtle expression on their face, 'Forget about the first two. Is this the third reason serious?'

"My thoughts may not be the same as yours. In my opinion..." Sōseki did didn't show any strangeness, but glanced at the three of them with sincere eyes, "You don't become the Hokage to be acknowledged by everyone. The one who is acknowledged by everyone becomes the Hokage!"

For the new students who have not yet understood the concept of life, this sentence is not really amazing, but it also gives them a very powerful and reasonable feeling.

On the contrary, it was Yagami who became a little dazed after hearing Sōseki's words, "The one who is acknowledged by everyone..."

the inexplicably excited expressions of everyone, Sōseki hit the iron while it was hot, "No matter how strong a person is, he is only one person. Bearing everything on alone will inevitably lead to failure. I think you have also heard the story of Shōdaime-sama and Uchiha Madara. Wasn't reason why Shōdaime-sama can become Hokage is precisely because he got the support of the village and his other companions?"

"If you can't even get the approval of your classmates, how can you get the approval of other people in the village?"

In a sense, this is the same as those elementary school essays of Sōseki's previous life. If you don't cite examples of some famous people, even if your writing is amazing, it will not be very convincing.

After all, little kids don't like to hear too many big things.

When those three heard the first paragraph, they were still ignorant, but after Sōseki used Shodaime as an example, their minds soon changed.

"Um...I'm sorry, I will let you be the Hokage."

"Forget it, you should become the Hokage first, I will be behind you."

"I don't necessarily have to be Hokage. As long as you both told my parents stop hitting me after you become Hokage, it is enough."

Seeing this situation, Yagami was sighed in relief and at the same time couldn't help but amused, 'What did they think of Hokage?'

'Also, Sōseki...' Yagami's gaze rested on the gentle boy, "This child has ideas and visions that surpass ordinary people. Maybe, he is the one who really has the potential to become the Hokage!"
