Iruka smiled upon hearing their words and shook his head. "Makoto, I have some good news for you!"
Makoto looked puzzled. "Iruka-sensei, what do you mean?"
With a warm smile, Iruka continued, "Lord Third has decided to personally take you on as his disciple, based on your previous performance. How do you feel about that? Are you happy?"
Makoto was stunned by his words."Lord Hokage wants to take me as his disciple?!"
He struggled to understand why someone like Sarutobi Hiruzen would choose him. He stood on equal footing with some of the strongest figures in the chat group. More importantly, If he accepted Sarutobi Hiruzen as his master, he would technically be two generations younger than Senju Tobirama.
That also meant he would be a generation ahead of Minato.
Would that mean Minato would have to call him "Senior"?
The thought alone was so ridiculous that he almost laughed out loud. Even now, Makoto couldn't wrap his head around why Sarutobi Hiruzen had chosen him.
Was it because of his exceptional talent? Because he had mastered the Rasengan and multiple Shadow Clone Techniques so quickly? Or… was it because of his Harem Technique?
Could it be that Sarutobi wanted him to perform the technique for his personal enjoyment?
The idea was absurd, but Makoto couldn't help but consider the possibility.
Unlike Makoto, Iruka and the other students at the academy saw things differently. They were all incredibly envious!
Suddenly, Naruto jumped to Makoto's side, his expression full of excitement. "Makoto! I didn't expect Grandpa Hokage to take you as his disciple! I'm so jealous! Why won't he accept me too?! Damn it! But I won't give up!"
Sasuke clenched his fists the moment he heard the news. His frustration was evident. "Damn it! Why did Lord Third choose him? Why not me? If I want to kill that man with my own hands, I need to get stronger! Why won't the Hokage take me as his disciple?!"
The rest of the students were also brimming with jealousy. Among them, Ino and Hinata were the exceptions.
Makoto had mixed feelings about this whole situation. He recalled the three disciples of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
A pervert. A gambling addict. A mad scientist.
What kind of person would he become under Sarutobi's guidance?
Just imagining it sent shivers down his spine.
Despite his reservations, Makoto still saw this as a good opportunity. He had plans to approach Tsunade in the future, and with this new connection, he could now consider himself her junior. This would bring them closer, and when he finally met her, he could greet her as his senior while proudly displaying his Wood Style technique. Just imagining her reaction filled him with anticipation!
As thoughts of Tsunade ran through his mind, Makoto couldn't help but drool.
Noticing this scene, Iruka naturally assumed it was because of becoming the Third Hokage's disciple.
"Makoto, I understand that you're thrilled to be accepted by Lord Third, but could you at least control your expression a little better? You were drooling just now!"
Makoto quickly snapped back to reality, hurriedly wiping his mouth. Of course, he couldn't admit that he had been drooling over his fantasies about Tsunade.
He simply nodded with an embarrassed face.
[Senju Tobirama: Damn it, are you really so happy about becoming that monkey's disciple that you started drooling?]
[Uchiha Madara: Makoto, you're backed by a whole group of powerhouses, yet getting accepted as Sarutobi's disciple has you this excited? It's honestly embarrassing.]
[Senju Hashirama: Is Sarutobi really that strong? Stronger than Madara and me? Is that why you're so happy? Now I'm curious. I wonder if he could last a round against me!]
[Makoto Ito: No, that's not the reason why I was drooling! But do you guys really want to hear the truth?]
[Senju Tobirama: Of course!]
[Makoto Ito: Honestly, I'm not all that concerned about who takes me as a disciple. What really crossed my mind is that now that I'm Sarutobi Hiruzen's disciple, doesn't that mean I'm technically Tsunade's junior? This makes it much easier to get closer to her!]
[Senju Tobirama: Brat, that's why you were drooling just now?]
[Makoto Ito: Yeah, what's wrong with that?]
[Senju Tobirama: In that case, call me 'Grand Master!' After all, I am Sarutobi's master!]
[Makoto Ito: You wish! If I actually marry Tsunade, I might consider calling you Grandpa.]
[Senju Tobirama: Damn it, kid!]
[Makoto Ito: Anyway, I need to have a talk with my disciple.]
[Senju Tobirama: …Who's your disciple?]
[Senju Hashirama: That's right, Makoto. Since when did you take on a disciple?]
[Namikaze Minato: Lord First, Lord Second… Could it be…? Is he talking about me?]
