Naruto: The New Fire Generation (Chapter 11)

In Konoha, Koharu (Fire) spars against the Hokage Hoki Senju. Koharu distracts him with two shadow clones, which Hoki easily defeats, and positions himself behind Hoki, sending a kunai his way. Hoki deflects all of them and vanishes, to everyone's shock. Hoki appears behind Koharu and compliments his strategy. Koharu backs up getting distance and uses Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, to his classmates' amazement. Hoki blocks it by raising an earth wall. Hoki surprises him from behind, landing a kick which sends Koharu flying into a boulder. Denki Fuma declares the sparring over. Hoki congratulates Koharu telling him that he will train him! Later that day at the Hokage Office, Hoki notifies Satoru Sarutobi that he is training Koharu.

While out eating, Koharu meets the young Hakuto (Fire) in the middle of an attempt on the Koharu's life. When he fails, Hakuto asks to train under Koharu, hoping that his skill after training will be enough to defeat the Ninth and become Hokage. Koharu asks why he would want the title. Hakuto explains that, He hopes that, by becoming Hokage, people will acknowledge him.

Koharu agrees to train him, But tells him they will train when he gets back since he is preparing to leave on a mission with his team to Takumi Village.
