13 Hokage

(A/N: I just wanna ask, how is the story so far? Because I just read back to some chapters I wrote and cringed so hard that I deleted them and completely rewrote them. I would always feel like it was good enough when I just wrote them but after some time, I just wanna puke after rereading.

I think the main reason for this was that I wanted to rush the story so that I can get to the exciting part earlier. Anyways, I'll try hard to fix them now.)

A few moments later and the area was becoming rowdier since people came streaming in as the speech of the Hokage was nearing. During this time, Hinata and the others had been attracting attention because this was the first time that the major clans of Konoha were all sending in their heirs at the same time. They had become quite the talk among people as they waited for the Hokage's arrival.

From those talks, Hinata could swear that he heard someone call their generation the Golden Generation.

That is because all the clans were putting in their heirs all at the same time and all of them should be top-tier talents, otherwise how would they be confident in letting them enroll with all the other heirs when their talent is not up to par. They would only drag the clan's name down to the ground. So seeing that all heirs were present, everyone was expecting some sort of genius battle. There were even already people starting to bet on who would be the greatest genius of them all.

Sasuke was naturally the most common answer throughout the crowd because well, he's an Uchiha who were known for their Sharingan. Following him would be Hinata because she also came from a clan that possessed one of the Three Great Dojutsu. Hinata didn't care that she was ranked below Sasuke but her father was more immature than her so he said, "Hinata, I want you to beat that Uchiha brat's ass and bring glory to our clan."

Hinata just rolled her eyes at her father. Ever since he became more sexually active, he also became more active in everything and it just made him look more childish. Anyway, this was still better than a stiff clan head who only cared about power and benefits.

Speaking of being sexually active, Hinata had been pretty confused about one thing. They were doing it more often than before and this made Hinata worry a lot. She worried because this might cause Hanabi's birth to come earlier. She knew that once that happens, her mother would die due to childbirth. However, her worries turned into confusion when Himawari still hadn't become pregnant even after she turned 7. From her knowledge, Hanabi should've been born after she turned 5 but none of that happened.

Anyways, since that was the case, she didn't have to worry anymore since it meant that her mom gets to live.

After some more time waiting, a Chunin came in and finally announced the arrival of the Fifth Hokage.

'Hold up! The Fifth?! Did I hear that right? The Fifth?! What the... Did Minato die early in this universe that's why I didn't see Naruto? So Tsunade is the Hokage now?'

Thoughts rapidly spun inside Hinata's head such as "What happens to Asura's reincarnation now?" or "What happened to the Kyuubi? Who's the Jinchuriki now?"

Her thoughts were quickly answered when a blond blue-eyed man wearing a haori and the Hokage's hat entered. Beside him was his mini-me but with whiskers.

Seeing the new arrivals, Hinata gave up thinking for a second. Turns out Minato was alive and Naruto got to grow up with him. Hinata wondered if Kushina was also alive.

Hinata was distracted from her thoughts when Minato handed Naruto over to a Chunin instructor. Minato then said some words to the instructor before leaving them and stepping up the platform to do his speech.

Seeing that it wouldn't be Hiruzen's boring speech she had to hear, Hinata was a bit interested in what Minato had to say. He knew that Minato was a bit like Hiruzen where he was overflowing with the Will of Fire so Hinata wanted to see if Minato would make the same speech as Hiruzen does. If he does, then he would lose a lot of cool points.

Minato stepped up the platform and everyone fell silent to hear what he wanted to say. He didn't even say anything yet and everyone was already paying close attention to him and were eagerly waiting for his speech.

Minato smiled at the audience and then began his speech. Hinata was also intently listening and by the end of it, she did feel a bit speechless. While Hiruzen's main theme in his speech is that the village is one family that should protect each other, then Minato's main theme is that the youth are the future and talents are pillars and education would be their foundation. It was good and all but Minato sounded a bit like those modern politicians.

Minato ended his speech and was met with roaring applause.

"Long live the Fifth Hokage!"

'Oh right, who was the Fourth Hokage if he was the Fifth?', Hinata mentally asked herself.

"One day, it would be me up there doing my speech. I'm gonna be the Hokage and will be the best there is, believe it!", Naruto said looking a bit arrogant compared to how the orphan Naruto proclaimed his dream. It was understandable though since Naruto in this universe grew up with his parents and they were pretty famous, especially his father who was the Hokage. It would be hard to not become arrogant from that. Even clan heirs tend to become arrogant much less the kid of the Hokage.

Hinata seeing Naruto like this hesitated on whether she should approach him. During her past life, she had been spoiled by cultivation novels that talked about those young masters she hated a lot and Naruto was already looking a bit like one. Maybe she should go and beat him up to shave down his arrogance?"

Hinata once again shook her thoughts and decided to wait until they would be allowed to apply for the Elite Class test.
