Sasuke was surrounded by a group of little girls from his class, all eagerly vying for his attention. However, his attitude toward them was extremely cold, sometimes outright disdain.
"Get out of my way!"
The moment Sasuke lost his temper, the group of girls, led by Sakura, immediately scattered.
"Sasuke-kun is so handsome!"
"Yeah, even when he's angry, he's still so cool!"
"Ah, no! He's just too handsome!"
On the other hand, Sakura was seething with rage internally. 'You damn girls! How dare you talk to Sasuke?! Sasuke is supposed to be mine!'
...…
[Uchiha Mikoto: Sigh.... Sasuke's personality is really a bit problematic. How could he be so harsh when faced with so many adorable little girls? What if he can't find a girlfriend in the future?]
[Uchiha Fugaku: I can't blame him. That incident must have hit him too hard. I'm afraid all he has left in his heart now is hatred…]
[Uchiha Mikoto: I really don't understand what Itachi was thinking. Are we really going to stand by and watch our sons kill each other in the future?]
[Uchiha Fugaku: ... I don't know either. But we should still trust in our children. I believe they will find their own way to handle things.]
At long last, the two parents had finally laid eyes on their long-lost son.
[Uchiha Shisui: All of this happened because of that event… If things had been different,
Sasuke could have had a wonderful childhood]
[Uchiha Fugaku: Enough, Shisui]
[Uchiha Mikoto: I suppose the only good news is that Sasuke seems to be very popular with girls]
[Uchiha Fugaku: Hmph, they're just a bunch of noisy little brats. What's the point of that?]
[Uzumaki Kushina: Fugaku, Do you even realize how lucky your son is? Look at all the girls around Sasuke and take a look at my son. There isn't a single girl near him.
Ugh, What if he can't find a girlfriend in the future…?]
[Namikaze Minato: Kushina, Naruto is still a kid! Do we really need to worry about this so soon?]
[Uzumaki Kushina: Shut up! You have the nerve to say that?! Didn't you already fall in love with me back when we were in ninja school? And now you're saying Naruto is too young for this?!]
[Makoto Ito: Second Hokage, look! Didn't I say that the Fourth was already in love back when he was in ninja school?]
[Senju Tobirama: .....]
[Senju Hashirama: It seems that early romance really does help someone become Hokage]
[Namikaze Minato: ....]
[Senju Tobirama: Brother, shut up!]
[Uzumaki Mito: Shut up, you idiot!]
[Senju Hashirama: ....]
At this moment, in the Pure Land, Hashirama was completely puzzled.
"Why are they all telling me to shut up? Did I say something wrong?"
It was clearly a case of puppy love for the Fourth Hokage, and yet he still went on to become Hokage. Doesn't this kinda prove that having a love interest at a young age can actually help someone achieve the position of Hokage?
Then he thought back to his own past. 'Didn't I also meet Madara when I was young?'
He and Madara had been close friends and their relationship had been deep and close,
no less than that of a childhood romance.
And so, Hashirama came to a firm conclusion.
Puppy love helped people become Hokage!
Of course, these thoughts remained inside his head. He wasn't foolish enough to say them out loud.

Soon, Iruka walked into the classroom.
"Students, today we are going to learn about how to use the Clone Technique!"
Iruka was an attentive teacher, carefully explaining the various applications of the Clone Technique to his students.
However, Makoto could barely stifle a yawn.
'As expected, no matter which world I'm in, I just can't seem to stay awake during lectures'
It wasn't just because of boredom.
It was because he had already mastered the Three Basic Techniques. If he hadn't gained anything from the powerhouses in the chap group, he might have paid more attention.
After all, before coming to this world, he had never been exposed to anything like chakra or cultivation. It would have been fascinating to learn about new things.
But he now fully understood these concepts and had learned jutsu far more advanced than the Clone Technique.
So, Iruka's lesson held absolutely no interest for him.
——————————
[Senju Hashirama: lessons for using the Clone Technique?]
[Senju Tobirama: What the hell is this? They teach these things in school now?]
[Uchiha Madara: Hah! What did I say? This is just children playing house. These kids are already this old, and they're still learning something as basic as the Clone Technique. How ridiculous! When I was their age, I was already on the battlefield taking enemy lives!]
[Senju Tobirama: Madara, shut up! Maybe they just happened to be covering this today]
[Uchiha Madara: Tch! I can't be bothered to argue with you]
Though Senju Tobirama refused to back down, he grumbled internally. "This wasn't like this when I first founded the ninja school!"
Originally, he had provided many ninjutsu for students to learn.
If a child showed extraordinary talent, they were supposed to receive direct instruction in more advanced techniques.
That was the whole point of creating so many jutsu!
"What's the point of the Forbidden Technique scrolls if they're never used?"
When the ninja school was established, the curriculum focused on practical battlefield skills. But now? They were actually learning how to use Clone Techniques?
"How did it deteriorate to this level?"
Judging from their age, these students should be nearing graduation.
What was the graduation requirement now?
"Don't tell me… they can graduate from ninja school from just mastering the Three Bodies Technique? Can they even be called a ninja?
What exactly had Sarutobi Hiruzen been doing all these years?
For the first time, Tobirama had genuine doubt about his former student's leadership.
Just then, Hashirama noticed an ominous detail.
[Senju Hashirama: Have you all noticed?]
There doesn't seem to be a single Senju clan student in the classroom…]
