You were born in the Leaf Village, your parents both civilian ninjas.
At the age of two, your parents went out on a mission and sacrificed themselves to protect Konoha, leaving you only a pension and a few ninjutsu manuals. By three, you had already grasped the dangers of this world and began training diligently, successfully extracting Chakra. At five, you enrolled in the Ninja Academy and met Minato Namikaze, who also came from a civilian background.
At six, you displayed extraordinary talent, applied for early graduation, and became the top student of your class.
On the Light Screen, Aoki's growth trajectory slowly unfolded. This national power display presented the life stories of Hokages from various worlds, complete with fast-forward and rewind functions, clearly visible to everyone.
"Excellent! This talent is truly exceptional!"
"Even in the Warring States era, few could match you!"
Watching Aoki's childhood experiences, Senju Hashirama solemnly gave a thumbs-up. He knew that ninjas in the Warring States era trained rigorously from a young age, yet Aoki, living in a peaceful era, still managed to stand out as a civilian ninja—truly admirable. Senju Tobirama nodded in agreement, his eyes filled with approval.
Minato Namikaze watched the friendship between his counterpart in that world and Aoki on the Light Screen, feeling a sense of relief.
At seven, you graduated from the Ninja Academy. After a year of day and night training, you actively studied Medical Ninjutsu, catching Tsunade's attention with your talent and eventually becoming her disciple. Under Tsunade's guidance, your strength improved by leaps and bounds.
Tsunade, initially indifferent, was now deeply moved. She had never imagined that the Aoki before her was her disciple in that world. She gazed intently at the images on the Light Screen, her eyes softening as she looked at Aoki.
Even though they were in different worlds, since Aoki had become her disciple in that world, he was her student.
The First and Second Hokages were also surprised, never expecting that Aoki, the group owner, had such a connection with them. The distance between them instantly narrowed.
At eight, due to your extraordinary spiritual power and Chakra control, you began studying the Nature Transformation of the Five Chakra Natures. With Tsunade's help, you successfully mastered all Chakra nature transformations and even developed powerful ninjutsu like the Spiraling Sphere, Chidori, and Lightning Cutter, surpassing the strength of some Jonin.
At nine, the Second Shinobi World War was raging. You followed your master Tsunade to the battlefield. Witnessing the brutality of war firsthand, you resolved to do everything in your power to end the conflict. With your astonishing abilities, you slew countless enemies on the battlefield. Though you occasionally felt a flicker of fear, you never retreated.
At fourteen, the Second Shinobi World War ended. Your outstanding performance on the battlefield earned you widespread fame, gaining support not only from major ninja clans but also deep admiration from civilian ninjas.
By then, you had already seen the true faces of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo Shimura, and you knew that the Senju Clan had long existed in name only.
To realize your dream of becoming Hokage, you resolved to ascend to the position. You secretly gathered years of evidence of the crimes committed by the Third Hokage and Danzo, including their plots against members of the Uchiha clan, especially Kagami Uchiha, and their various atrocities in desecrating the First Hokage's remains, planning to expose it all to the world.
"Minato, once you return, gather evidence as quickly as possible!"
"With your Flying Thunder God Technique, finding proof of their crimes will be as easy as pie!"
Aoki urged Minato, adding, "As Hokage, there are times when you must set aside naive notions."
"In this matter, the Second Hokage handled it well."
Senju Tobirama nodded in agreement, his expression pleased, his gaze intense as he looked at Minato and emphasized gravely, "As Hokage, your heart must be ruthless enough."
Minato, awakened by Aoki's experiences, nodded solemnly. He knew clearly what he had to do. Thinking of his son's future suffering, he resolved that upon returning, he would show no mercy to those two old men, the Third Hokage and Danzo.
At age fifteen, rumors began spreading in the village about Sakumo Hatake's mission failure. Even the teammate he saved turned against him, falsely accusing the Konoha White Fang of colluding with the enemy. You knew the time had come.
You secretly captured the teammate who framed Sakumo and used Genjutsu to force him to reveal the truth. On the brink of suicide, Sakumo Hatake, upon learning the truth, abandoned his desire to die. Disillusioned with Konoha's politics, he chose to stand by your side.
With Sakumo Hatake's support, you felt even more confident and began ordering the subordinates you had cultivated over the years to spread word of the Third Hokage and Danzo's misdeeds.
As the rumors intensified, you knew Konoha's revolution was imminent. With Tsunade's assistance, you summoned the heads of the major ninja clans, publicly presenting the evidence you had gathered and candidly sharing your thoughts.
With the support of the assembled ninja, you successfully overthrew the Third Hokage's rule and ascended to the position of Hokage.
Aoki's past slowly unfolded, astonishing everyone. Even Senju Tobirama couldn't help but admire Aoki's methods—swift, precise, and ruthless, striking directly at Konoha's core. After all, Konoha was founded through the alliance of major clans.
Tsunade, representing the Senju Clan, gathered the clan heads, and armed with evidence of the crimes, they feared suffering the same fate as the Senju Clan and were determined to overthrow the Third Hokage and Danzo, those two old men.
Everything fell into place naturally. In the end, Aoki united the major clans to launch a joint offensive, overthrowing the rule of the Third Hokage and Danzo. His origins as a civilian ninja and his widespread support base throughout Konoha also became key to his success.
Minato Namikaze finally understood completely why Aoki could ascend to the position of Hokage in that world. Perhaps, in Aoki's eyes, he was never even a contender.
