"Chakra is...."
"Snore... snore..." Tobirama was lecturing enthusiastically on the podium when suddenly, a series of snores echoed through the class. A vein popped on Tobirama's forehead. He turned and looked toward the source of the noise.
"Senju Dave!!!" At that moment, Dave was still sleeping peacefully in Tsukimi's arms. The sudden shout startled him, and he jumped up quickly.
"Who... is class over?" Dave mumbled drowsily.
"Get out and stand in the hall!!" Tobirama really wanted to smack his son, but this was a classroom, and his son had only known him for a few days. He didn't dare hit him, but he still had to maintain his authority as the teacher.
"Ah? Oh, um, my dear—ah, teacher—Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo made me sleep. They're accomplices!" Even if he was going down, Dave was determined to drag the two of them with him. He pointed at the innocent Hiruzen and Danzo.
"Nani??? Teacher! We didn't!" Hiruzen and Danzo were both dumbfounded. What did their sleeping have to do with them???
"You two—out with him!!" Tobirama couldn't take it anymore and didn't care who was innocent. He shouted at the three of them.
Outside the classroom, two resentful teens and one dozing teen with an innocent face stood idly.
"Dave! Bastard!! Why'd you drag me and Hiruzen out too!!" Danzo pointed at Dave angrily and cursed.
Look how angry the future Hokage is... Dave felt a bit panicked... If this guy held a grudge, he might send someone to deal with him secretly "for the sake of Konoha." What then?
"Ma, aren't we good friends? We share the blessings, and you take the blame for the troubles. Help me out!" Anyway, it was for the future. Did Danzo dare mess with the Second Hokage's son? What could go wrong?
"Asshole!!"
Hiruzen and Danzo heard the taunt from behind, exchanged evil grins, and slowly approached Dave.
"Hey! I'm warning you! I'm the teacher's son! Aren't you afraid the teacher will make your lives hell later!!!" Dave swallowed and said.
The two said nothing, but kept advancing slowly toward Dave.
"I'm warning you! I'm really strong! Even the First Hokage is scared when I get serious—believe it!!" Dave shouted.
"Then let's see!!!"
"Ah!!!"
Tobirama could naturally hear the screams from outside, but he continued lecturing as if nothing was happening. His son really hadn't been paying attention to him these days, so a lesson was in order. Of course, he wouldn't do it himself.
Class ended at noon.
"Pfft, how'd you get beaten like this by them?" Tsukimi walked over to Dave with her lunch and said with a smile.
"Hmph, those two bastards—I just let them. If I got serious, they'd be scared. If I didn't want them hurt, believe me, they'd still be in the hospital?" Pig-headed Dave snorted coldly.
"Yes, yes, Dave is the best. Come on, eat up," Tsukimi giggled.
Then Dave lounged in Tsukimi's arms like a salted fish, and Tsukimi fed him spoonfuls of food with a gentle smile.
To get back at the two, Dave raised an eyebrow at Hiruzen: "Two bachelors—what can you do to me?"
Hiruzen was so mad he turned to Danzo beside him.
"Danzo, ah~" Hiruzen scooped up a spoonful of veggies from his lunch box and brought it to Danzo's mouth, whispering.
"..."
Dave was shocked by Hiruzen's move... this... this... this... the hormone lights exploded!!
"Tsukimi, let's stay away from these two perverts." Dave quickly pulled Tsukimi to the other side, far from those two gay friends...
At the same time...
Tobirama stood alone on the rooftop of the school building, watching the scene. He had a headache...
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo...
It seemed these two teens needed some ideological education...
Tobirama didn't dare look at that scene...
And his unlucky son, who didn't listen to him at all, was being fed by that evil little Uchiha girl with a gentle smile. Tobirama felt a stomachache...
Damn Uchiha Madara! Damn little Uchiha girl! Damn the Uchiha clan!! Damn it all!!!
Everyone wanted to take away his precious son!! The Uchiha clan! They were truly his lifelong enemies, Tobirama!!
At that moment, two voices came from beside him—it was Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama.
"Hahaha, Madara! I'm faster than you! You lose this time!!" Hashirama laughed, pointing at Madara beside him and taunting.
"Well, you win, ugly man," Madara nodded silently and said.
Hashirama's body was immediately shrouded in shadows... You can't let this go, huh???
"Brother, why are you here? Have you finished your work today?" Tobirama ignored Madara and looked at his elder brother, asking seriously.
"Uh... no... not yet..." Hashirama was stunned for a moment and said awkwardly.
"Hmph, as Hokage, if you don't work hard and slack off every day, how can you lead Konoha to the pinnacle of the ninja world!" Tobirama accused.
While Hashirama and Tobirama bickered constantly, Madara watched Dave, who was enjoying himself immensely.
Tobirama glanced over and caught the scene, fuming inside. What are you looking at? That's my son!
Madara felt a bit relieved. It seemed Dave and the little girl got along really well. This gave him hope that the Uchiha clan could fully integrate into Konoha.
It had only been a few years since Konoha was founded, and basically none of the clans had fully integrated yet. After all, centuries of clan loyalty were ingrained in people—it couldn't change in just a few years.
As for the Uchiha clan, Madara was working hard too. He knew his clan well—everyone had their heads in the clouds. Integrating them into the village was tough.
Madara hadn't gone dark yet; he was just the Uchiha clan leader who cared about the village and his family.
