After the battle with Kazekaze, Hashirama's condition worsened. This resulted in him being unable to refine chakra for a long time. Meanwhile, Uzumaki Mito took on the responsibility of caring for both Hashirama and Tsunade.
This situation left Kazekaze somewhat frustrated. He originally just wanted to spar a little with Hashirama to see how much difference there was between their current strengths. He hadn't anticipated such an outcome. Of course, neither Hashirama, who needed rest, nor Tobirama blamed Kazekaze. No matter how you look at it, the battle happened at Hashirama's request. It was just that Hashirama, on a whim, absorbed natural energy, which worsened his condition. No one else was to blame.
As for Kazekaze, his days were quite ordinary. Every day, besides fooling around with Tsunade. Ah, no. Every day, besides spending time with Tsunade. He spent his time on missions and training. To become a Jonin of Konoha, having the strength of a Jonin is far from enough; one must also have sufficient contributions. And in times of peace, completing missions is probably Kazekaze's only way to gain contributions. As for training, it goes without saying.
Kazekaze's taijutsu is based on the Eight Gates as a combat method. If his muscle strength is insufficient, using the Eight Gates would only cause him harm. Although Kazekaze doesn't plan to open the Eight Gates Formation, he still wants to master the power of the Seventh Gate, the Gate of Wonder.
Time flies, and days pass by quickly. In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed. Kazekaze stood in front of the dressing mirror in his bedroom, examining himself. "Is it the growth period?" Kazekaze supported his right elbow with his left hand, using his thumb and index finger to support his chin. He wondered if it was just his imagination. During this time, he seemed to have grown taller! "I feel like I'm almost 1.3 meters now."
It's worth mentioning... The Senju clan members are generally tall. For instance, Senju Hashirama is 1.85 meters tall. Senju Tobirama is about 1.82 meters. Mokuken is also 1.83 meters. "Even my grandmother Uzumaki Mito is 1.7 meters tall." In the family, there's not a single short person. When I grow up, I'll definitely be 1.8 meters tall!
"Hmm?" Suddenly, Kazekaze frowned, "If that's the case, isn't Tsunade dragging us down?" Kazekaze recalled that after Tsunade became an adult, she usually wore high heels. Her height seems to be 1.63 meters. Apart from Nawaki, who didn't grow up and was blown up. Tsunade is undoubtedly the shortest in the family! Even their mother, Ayako, is 1.68 meters tall. Tsunade! The shame of the family!
"Well, you can't say that." Kazekaze shook his head, thinking about Tsunade's chest muscles, he felt... The reason Tsunade didn't grow taller is probably because all the nutrition went to where it should. "From a certain perspective, Tsunade is actually the winner in life."
Just as Kazekaze started to daydream, a familiar voice echoed in his mind.
[Check-in System cooldown time has ended!]
[Please confirm, host!]
[Would you like to check-in?]
"Oh, can I check-in again?" Kazekaze blinked. He had been busy with missions these days, and time flew by. Today, he finally decided to take a day off and do nothing. Unexpectedly, it coincided with a new check-in opportunity! He must... Check-in! Kazekaze nodded excitedly, putting aside thoughts of height and chest muscles.
[Check-in successful!]
[Congratulations to the host for receiving a check-in gift package!]
[Would you like to open it?]
"Open it." Kazekaze hardly hesitated; after all, keeping such a gift package won't earn interest. The sooner you open it, the sooner you enjoy it. Moreover, Kazekaze had some expectations for this reward. Because countless previous check-ins had proven that he was a lucky person!
"Let me guess what good thing will come out this time.""Could it be the Sharingan?" Kazekaze smiled, once again thanking Uchiha Madara. Whether it's taijutsu or ninjutsu, Kazekaze can't be considered weak now. In taijutsu, he has the Eight Gates and Super Strength. Even though he's only seven years old and 1.3 meters tall, not every ninja can compete with him in taijutsu. Although he really wants to learn the Gate of Wonder and use Daytime Tiger, it doesn't affect him if he doesn't.
In terms of ninjutsu. Water Release, Rasengan, Flying Thunder God Technique, plus Wood Release! Whether it's competing in ninjutsu or turning the tide of a crucial battle, Kazekaze is already equipped. Especially the Flying Thunder God Technique, which allows him to retreat effectively when facing a ninja he can't defeat. Of course, in the current ninja world, there aren't many ninjas stronger than him. Kazekaze feels there aren't many left.
"On the contrary, in the field of genjutsu, I'm still a novice." Kazekaze criticized himself. Undoubtedly, genjutsu is Kazekaze's only weak point now. He neither knows how to use genjutsu nor is sure if he can be immune to it. However, in terms of inclination, Kazekaze feels that he currently can't be immune to genjutsu.
"Using genjutsu doesn't matter much to me.""But being immune to genjutsu is more important to me." As a transmigrator, Kazekaze is well aware. Uchiha Madara isn't dead! After the Valley of the End, he obtained Hashirama's cells. Hiding in the shadows, cultivating Hashirama's cells. On the other hand, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback. To realize his ideals and ambitions.
Although in the original storyline, Uchiha Madara relied on White Zetsu to gather information on the ninja world, and only after the Third Shinobi World War did he officially execute his plan. However... Due to his transmigration into this world, it's equivalent to a major variable in Uchiha Madara's plan. He can almost be considered an unstable factor in the Eye of the Moon Plan.
"If I were Uchiha Madara, I'd definitely find a way to deal with myself." And what Kazekaze fears the most. Is Uchiha Madara's genjutsu. Although he didn't rely much on genjutsu when fighting Hashirama or the Five Kage, just the fact that Uchiha Madara controlled the Nine-Tails with a single glance. To say Uchiha Madara doesn't know genjutsu, Kazekaze doesn't believe it. He thinks Uchiha Madara not only knows genjutsu but is likely a genjutsu expert.
"But if I can draw the Sharingan, then the situation would be different.""As long as the Sharingan's strength is strong enough, it can even turn others' genjutsu into my genjutsu, countering the enemy.""Even if it can't counter a ninja as strong as Madara, at least I won't be instantly killed by his genjutsu." Kazekaze analyzed the current situation. Then... He opened the check-in gift package.
[Check-in gift package opened!]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Sharingan lv3 from the check-in gift package!]
