Lord Naruto

No.17 The Will of Fire

A month later, Uzumaki Zihei had already been discharged from the hospital, and Konoha returned to normal operations. The outside world did not have any thoughts about Konoha because of Uchiha Madara's defection. Konoha also announced that Uchiha Madara had been killed by the first Senju Hashirama. , Uchiha Madara's fake death, there are no more than five people in Konoha who know about it. As long as the death of the first Hokage Senju Hashirama has not been reported, no one in this world dares to attack Konoha. After all, the God of Ninja There is only one person in the entire Naruto world, but the news that the first generation Hokage Senju Hashirama was seriously injured and dying was spread by an unknown person. Now the entire ninja world is also undercurrent and the war is just missing a fuse.

…………

Not long after he was discharged from the hospital, Uzumaki Ziping came to see the First Hokage, but was told by Senju Tobirama that the First Hokage was still in seclusion for healing. From that day on, Uzumaki Ziping began to practice and study with Senju Tobirama, and they continued to practice like this for half a year. After that, Uzumaki Ziping is now practicing harder than before. Since there are no dangerous tasks in the peaceful era, he got the Jonin badge some time ago. He is now the youngest Jonin in Konoha, a A jonin under the age of ten is unique even in the ninja world.

On this day, Uzumaki Ziping was taken to the back mountain of Hokage Rock by Senju Tobirama, where the first Hokage retreated to recuperate.

"Ziping brought you here today to meet your uncle. Don't say anything on the way. You will know when you get there." The two of them remained silent all the way to the place where the first Hokage trained.

When he saw the first Hokage Senju Hashirama, Uzumaki Ziping was completely shocked. He couldn't imagine that the person in front of him was completely... completely different from the majestic person he saw some time ago. , he looks older, and his hair has turned snow-white.

If it weren't for that familiar face, and if there was still that amazing aura, Uzumaki Ziping could be sure that this person could be regarded as another person.

"Hahaha... Ziping, don't be surprised. I'm still me. I asked your uncle Tobirama to bring you here today just to talk to you." Senju Hashirama was still so happy.

Uzumaki Ziping did not answer, Senju Hashirama did not continue to ask, and led the three people to the vicinity of Hokage Rock. At a glance, everything about Konoha could be seen. Looking at Konoha from this angle, it was really It’s so beautiful and spectacular. There’s no hustle and bustle of high-rise buildings in the previous life, and there’s no tranquility like that of a small village. It’s really only the beauty of another world, the perfect combination of a small town and nature. It’s so beautiful. Uzumaki Zihei is also the first This is the first time I have seen Konoha. Konoha is actually quite big. It is not as prosperous as it was at the beginning of the plot. Many village names are still building their own houses. Standing at such a high place, you can still see their busy figures. This This is our prosperous Konoha.

"How does Zippei feel when he sees Konoha now?" Senju Hashirama suddenly asked Uzumaki Zippei.

Uzumaki Ziping didn't know why his two uncles brought him here today, but since he was asked, he would answer seriously.

Uzumaki scratched his head and said, "Uncle Hashirama... I'm not very good at expressing it. I have been in Konoha since I was born. I live here. My relatives and my friends all live here. I was born here. I live here." I grew up here. When I went to ninja school, I had nothing to do. I just liked to take my friends to hang out in Konoha. I can see Konoha changing and developing every day. I slowly grew up as a person in the streets of Konoha. There are also more and more houses and shops in Konoha. I see that there are many people here working hard for the prosperity of Konoha every day. I like everyone here. They bring great things every day. Joy, I like every scenery here, every part of them fascinates me, I love it here." He paused for a moment and then said, "I want to protect this place and don't want anyone to destroy it anymore." Uzumaki Ziping Thinking of the pain caused by Uchiha Madara's rebellion, there were tears in the corners of his eyes.

Looking at the Konoha Senju Hashirama below and listening to Uzumaki Zihei's narration, he couldn't help but sigh, "Yes, there are many people who save names and work hard for the development of Konoha every day. Konoha is like my child, it is mine." Watch bit by bit

Growing up, I also like to walk in Konoha, because every day I can see the changes in Konoha, see the children playing happily, see the adults happily building the village, and I can see today today every day. Konoha is more prosperous than yesterday, and I know that everything I have done for the village is worth it. I love this place deeply, and I will protect it even if I risk my life, because this is the dream I have worked hard for."

"I also love and love this place. Every village in Konoha loves this place. We have come from the war years and have seen too much darkness and too much sadness. It is Konoha that brings us peace and brings us hope. Each of us will be willing to sacrifice our lives to protect this place, and we also hate every enemy who wants to destroy this place," Senju Tobirama also said.

"Ziping, are you wondering why we brought you here today to see the village and tell you this?" Senju Hashirama suddenly turned to Uzumaki Ziping and said.

"My nephew doesn't know." Uzumaki Ziping really didn't know.

"Ziping, do you know what Konoha's Will of Fire is?" Senju Hashira asked indirectly.

"Where the leaves are flying, the fire is endless. The fire will continue to illuminate the village and let the new leaves sprout." Uzumaki Ziping couldn't help but think of this sentence in the animation of his previous life and said it.

"Yes, where the leaves are flying, the fire will continue to grow. The fire will continue to illuminate the village and let the new leaves sprout." Senju Hashimoto continued, "We originally built this village in the hope of true peace in the world. , so that children will no longer be involved in wars, so that every child can grow up happily, because in our era, even children had to go to the battlefield. The average life span of a ninja was less than 30 years old. I have seen too many children sacrifice their lives. On the battlefield, even my four younger brothers died on the battlefield, so I want to build this village so that the children can have a safe environment to grow up happily and no longer die because of the war."

"I hope to establish a community where there are no barriers between clans, and it is not limited to the interests between clans. Everyone works together for the village, protects every companion in the village, and makes people become better. Equality makes the whole village feel like one family.”

"I often encourage young people to dare to take on future responsibilities and inherit the beliefs of the older generation who dare to sacrifice to protect and work hard for today's hard-won peace."

"Ziping, we asked you to come here today because we want to ask you if you are willing to inherit the will of fire and continue to protect everything here." Senju Hashirama asked seriously.

Uzumaki Zihei was a little surprised now. What is going on? I am still too young to be Hokage, and there is no Senju Tobirama. Besides, among the young generation now, there is Sarutobi Hiruzen. Why? It's not my turn yet, hey, am I overthinking it?

"Uncle Hashirama, of course I am willing, but at my current age and strength, I am still unable to protect all of this," Uzumaki Zihei said while scratching his head.

"Hahaha!... Ziping, of course we know that your current strength is not enough to protect all of this. Even now you still need us to protect you, hahaha." Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama looked at each other and laughed.

"Uncle Ziping, I won't tease you anymore. You have been studying with your uncle Tobirama for such a long time. We have also observed a lot. You have already been recognized by us. We want to accept you as our teacher." I can train you well in this way, and you are still so young and your growth in the future will be limitless. After all, we will all grow old one day, and the future will be left to you, the younger generation, are you willing?"

What a surprise this is, Uzumaki Ziping couldn't tell how happy and excited he was, "Two uncles, I am willing, I am willing..."

The two Hashiramas also smiled wisely. Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, etc., and now they have their own outstanding junior, Uzumaki Zihei, the leader of the children's generation. Seeing someone succeeding Konoha, what could be more wonderful than this? happy.

The setting sun shines on the three figures, looking down at the entire Konoha.
