"Nawaki, once you get to Konoha, you won't be at home anymore. Listen to Uncle Dave and your elders, understand?" Mujian looked at Nawaki, his face full of worry.
"Don't worry, Father! I, Senju Nawaki, am going to become Hokage!" Nawaki grinned carefree.
"Dave, sorry for the trouble, but please look after Nawaki. As for my father..." Naturally, the elders Mujian mentioned did not include Hashirama.

"Don't worry. I guarantee Nawaki will be just fine in Konoha," Dave assured him with a smile.
"All right, then you should get going. Nawaki, remember to come back and visit your mother."
"Will do!"

"...You little brat know quite a bit, don't you? Let's go. The Ninja Academy is waiting for you." Dave smiled.
"Huh... I still have to go to school...?" Nawaki asked miserably.
"Wasn't coming to Konoha to go to school your idea?" Dave asked in confusion.
"I just wanted to get out and have some fun... It's so boring here..." Nawaki looked a little glum.
"Then... what was that you just said about wanting to become Hokage?"
"No thanks. Tch, who'd become Hokage if they had a choice? My father isn't even Hokage, and he's already exhausted every day. I want to be a star, just like Grandpa! Act in TV
