Uchiha Yu's words once again caused a momentary daze in Uzumaki Mito's heart; she had heard similar words from Senju Hashirama.
Back then, Senju Hashirama had killed Uchiha Madara with that very mindset.
As for Uchiha Yu saying that if he became Hokage, he would suppress all enemies, there was no problem with that either. When Senju Hashirama was alive, didn't he also suppress the entire era, making other villages not even dare to think of starting a war?
If Uchiha Yu truly possessed great strength and could suppress the village's enemies, what was wrong with that? Absolutely nothing! On the contrary, it made Uzumaki Mito extremely relieved. If Uchiha Yu could truly grow to the level of Senju Hashirama, the ninja world would be stable.
As for whether Uchiha Yu would do anything irrational then, or what would happen after an Uchiha became Hokage? Uzumaki Mito was not worried at all. Once one's strength reached that level, it would be impossible for him not to want to be Hokage.
Unless Konoha could produce someone who could contend with Uchiha Yu.
Uzumaki Mito gazed at Uchiha Yu with a complex expression for a long time before speaking, "Are you willing to become Tsunade's disciple? I think you should understand what this apprenticeship means; it's not just about Tsunade being your squad leader after you graduate."
There was a difference between a squad leader and a true teacher, just like Kakashi was Naruto's squad leader, while Jiraiya was his true teacher.
"I understand!" Uchiha Yu looked at Tsunade, who was currently observing him, and said, "I am willing to become Tsunade's disciple. For me, this is also a huge opportunity."
"Hmph, brat, do you really think I want to take you as a disciple? But I must make it clear to you, I will not get involved in your Uchiha clan's internal affairs, and if you compete for the position of Hokage in the future, I will not support you either," Tsunade snorted softly, crossing her arms over her chest, and cautioned Uchiha Yu.
Even though the Senju clan had disbanded, Tsunade's influence still remained.
If Tsunade explicitly supported Uchiha Yu to become Hokage, it would be hard to guarantee that some troublesome things wouldn't happen in the future.
"As long as Teacher Tsunade doesn't stop me from becoming Hokage in the future, that's enough." Uchiha Yu didn't mind this. Sometimes, to compete for the position of Hokage, what was needed more was an identity.
If you weren't from the Hokage lineage, becoming Hokage would be incredibly difficult.
To be honest, Uchiha Yu's desire to become Hokage wasn't as strong as one might imagine. As a transmigrator who knew what kind of 'divine battle' the future ninja world would entail, he was more concerned with his own strength.
If he reached the level of the Six Paths, or even surpassed it, would becoming Hokage still matter?
At that point, it wouldn't be Uchiha Yu who was proud of being Hokage, but rather the Hokage title gaining prestige due to Uchiha Yu's existence.
"Heh, calling me teacher already, you little brat!" Tsunade pouted, but ultimately didn't stop Uchiha Yu from calling her that. For Tsunade, teaching such a talented disciple was quite an interesting thing.
Uzumaki Mito's eyes were filled with amusement when she saw Uchiha Yu's demeanor. Other Uchiha wouldn't be so direct in acknowledging a teacher like Uchiha Yu.
Some arrogant Uchiha might even feel insulted when faced with such a request from her.
This was truly a unique Uchiha. No one knew what heights Uchiha Yu would reach in the future.
Let her provide the necessary assistance before he fully matured!
Uzumaki Mito's actions weren't entirely due to Uzumaki Kushina. She treated Uzumaki Kushina like her own granddaughter, but Kushina alone wasn't enough.
More importantly, it was because of Senju Hashirama. Senju Hashirama had felt guilty about Uchiha Madara's matter. Before his death, Senju Hashirama had said more than once that if he had firmly supported Uchiha Madara to become Hokage back then, perhaps the subsequent events would not have happened.
And the Uchiha clan might become an uncontrollable problem in the future.
Senju Tobirama had placed his hopes on Uchiha Kagami, but unfortunately, Uchiha Kagami had sacrificed himself. Now, it was up to Uchiha Yu. This could also be seen as Uzumaki Mito fulfilling Senju Hashirama's dying wish!
"Starting tomorrow, come to me every day after school, and I will guide you." Tsunade said this and then rubbed her hair, "To be honest, I'm not very suitable to teach you. If you're interested, I can teach you Super Strength and Medical Ninjutsu. Of course, I'm not sure if you're suited for these."
The Uchiha's fighting style had always been very flashy; they were skill-based. Tsunade, however, was different. She combined the Senju clan's chakra burst techniques with Sarutobi Hiruzen's fighting style to develop her own Super Strength, which was about overwhelming power.
Tsunade was very worried that she might lead Uchiha Yu astray in the future.
However, Uchiha Yu wasn't worried about this at all. With Nawaki's physique, he wasn't afraid of being unable to control Super Strength.
He certainly preferred a skill-based approach, but if he could combine it with Super Strength, it would have even greater deterrent power, just like Uchiha Madara.
Excluding the Otsutsuki clan, Uchiha Madara's strength was one of the best in ninja history. Even Sasuke, who later reincarnated with Indra's chakra and also awakened the Rinnegan, was still not as strong as Uchiha Madara.
Uchiha Yu would not go wrong by improving along Uchiha Madara's template. However, with his combat space, Uchiha Yu would be even stronger and more well-rounded than Uchiha Madara.
"I will study hard," Uchiha Yu said with a confident smile.
"If you have any questions, I can also give you guidance. I just don't know if you're interested in sealing jutsu," Uzumaki Mito spoke up again at this moment.
Then she looked at Uchiha Mikoto next to her: "Mikoto, will you come along too?"
"Me?" Uchiha Mikoto pointed at herself in disbelief. She knew that since Tsunade had taken Uchiha Yu as a disciple, she wouldn't take her, so she hadn't expected Uzumaki Mito to still be willing to guide her.
"Yes, you are Kushina's friend, and I hope you can be good friends for life. Moreover, the future of the Uchiha will depend on you two," Uzumaki Mito said, her gaze filled with loving kindness as she looked at Uzumaki Kushina.
As for how much Uchiha Mikoto could learn, Uzumaki Mito couldn't guarantee. Although she seemed to have a lot of talent and a good chance of becoming an elite Jonin, it would be difficult for her to catch up to Uchiha Yu's pace.
Uzumaki Mito could clearly feel Uchiha Yu's abundant vitality. Perhaps the fighting styles of the Senju clan and the Uzumaki clan would be very suitable for Uchiha Yu.
No one could imagine what heights Uchiha Yu, who combined the legacies of the Uchiha, Senju, and Uzumaki clans, could reach in the future.
