Chapter 62 Sarutobi Hiruzen’s shock

When Hiruzen Sarutobi saw this city made of stone walls from afar, Hiruzen Sarutobi was already shocked by his observation of the Uzumaki Country in the past few days. He was even more shocked when he walked into this city. No wonder The Kingdom of Whirlpool can develop so fast, not to mention other things. According to Sarutobi Hiruzen, the number of ninjas is not much different than that of the five hidden villages.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has a feeling that the country of Uzumaki will definitely be the sixth largest country in the ninja world in the future. Now Sarutobi Hiruzen has mixed feelings. What is good is that the upcoming ninja war in Konoha has such a powerful person. Allies, we are worried that the power of the Kingdom of Whirlpool may threaten the Kingdom of Fire in the future.

It's better to keep these things and return to Konoha and think about it later. Now let's think about the current problem. I don't know what excessive conditions Uzumaki Ziping will offer.

As for the etiquette of the Hokage, when Sarutobi Hiruzen came to the city gate, someone had already come out to greet him. Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was originally unobtrusive, was also confused by the welcome ceremony that Uzumaki Zihei brought from the Great Celestial Empire. Hiruzen had never seen such a ceremony before. It was as if the whole city was welcoming him. Everywhere he could see the words "Welcome to the Hokage" and what the flying balls in the sky were. As soon as he entered the city I saw these balls starting to take off all over the sky.

And who were these neatly dressed and moving in unison, and they wanted to follow them? Sarutobi Hiruzen was really confused, but the leader for many years calmed down immediately. It was just a welcome ceremony, although he didn't I have seen it before, but I can't be disappointed with the Hokage's face. Walking on the red carpet, looking at the citizens holding banners and the children holding flowers, walking along the red carpet to a large square, and Uzumaki Ping I have been waiting here for a long time.

Then he followed Uzumaki and boarded a newly modified chakra-powered car from the Kingdom of Uzumaki. The chakra-powered car drove slowly and came to the high platform in the square. Looking at the crowds of cheering people below, Sarutobi Hiruzen I was muttering in my heart, what kind of show is this? Then, everyone stopped cheering when Uzumaki raised his hand.

Then I heard a voice from the distance: "Get ready for the salute...!!!"

boom!boom! !boom! ! !

There was a loud noise around the square, which almost frightened Hiruzen Sarutobi. Fortunately, he kept observing Uzumaki Zihei and there was nothing unusual. Otherwise, the Hokage would be embarrassed. Even if you have never seen the world, you should know this. , this should be a very high-standard welcome ceremony. Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had figured this out, also followed Uzumaki Zihei's example.

After the salute, I saw a group of people carrying something over. The people seemed to know what it was and became solemn. They all had serious faces, even the children, putting their right hands on their own. On the chest, something appeared with awe and expectation in his eyes.

And Sarutobi Hiruzen saw something in people's eyes, just like the eyes of the people of the Land of Fire when they saw the eyes of the first generation adults. Yes, it was a look full of faith. What on earth would make Uzumaki Everyone in the country looked like this, even Uzumaki Zihei on the side was not included, which aroused Sarutobi Hiruzen's curiosity again.

Soon the group of people carrying something came over solemnly and holy. At this time, the empty square suddenly became quiet, and the only thing that could be heard was the heavy footsteps of the group of people, step!tread! !tread! ! !

Sarutobi Hiruzen finally saw clearly what it was. It was just a red pennant with five more stars on it. He didn't find anything special about it, but the way everyone looked at that flag was definitely deceiving. Those who are not human are like seeing the gods they believe in.

[If the people of the Great Celestial Empire see all this here, they will definitely tell Sarutobi Hiruzen loudly that this is the mighty and domineering five-star red flag of our Great Celestial Empire. 】

Everyone watched in awe as the mighty and domineering five-star red flag entered a flagpole. The team leader carrying the red five-star red flag loudly shouted "National Anthem!!!"

The majestic music began, and everyone sang along with the majestic music.

"Get up!!! People who are unwilling to work hard!!! Use our flesh and blood!!! Build our new Great Wall!!!"

[If anyone from the Great China is here, I will definitely say, "Holy shit, you even used the national anthem of our Great China. Pig's Foot, you are going to attack an alien plane on behalf of our Great China. Come on, what else do we have?" unknown."】

As an outsider, Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, when he heard everyone in the Country of Whirlpool singing this song together, he immediately felt the terrifying aura of the people of this country. This group of people gave him a feeling of unwavering and unstoppable , a picture of grief and indignation comes to mind, in which the homeland is invaded, the country is destroyed, the family is destroyed, displaced, and there is also a feeling of hope for tomorrow, and one who is unwilling to be a subjugated country. Even if he is killed on the battlefield, he will fight for his fate with the enemy. The firm belief to fight to the end.

Only then did Sarutobi Hiruzen understand why. He had a different feeling when he set foot on this land. Yes, it was this feeling, a roar of unwillingness to struggle with fate, a hopeful gratitude for tomorrow, and There is a belief in the present that will be defended to the death.

It was this feeling. Sarutobi Hiruzen dared to swear to God that he had never seen this feeling among the people of a country. This country was really terrible. Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but close his eyes and thought of Uzumaki Hei. Everything that happened when this country inherited everything here, except for the few 10 people in the Whirlpool Kingdom at the beginning, the rest of the people were all people who were displaced due to the war. No wonder there is such a sound in this song. It has such a powerful appeal, as well as a variety of complex emotions such as roaring gratitude and firm protection. Perhaps only those who have experienced the sadness of war can feel this way.

I'm afraid that the rulers of various countries who sent those refugees to the Kingdom of Whirlpool for various purposes never thought that those refugees who were about to die would turn into eagles after they came to this country. A group of former refugees have now found the faith to protect themselves and the meaning of life.

I really came at the right time to visit this time. If I hadn't come, I might never have seen such a scene in my life. Seeing such a scene, Sarutobi Hiruzen saw his young self again and again, and heard that the first generation of adults A dream discussed with a second-generation adult.

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but turn his head and look at the junior boy next to him. He once studied with the first and second generation adults. Now that he has grown into a young man, maybe you are the true successor to the first and second generation adults. The person who represents the will of Lord Huo, I am really not as good as you.

Seeing all this, Sarutobi Hiruzen can no longer accept it. Maybe you will become the person who surpasses the first generation of adults and even fulfills the dream of the first generation of adults. You will definitely change the world again like the first generation of adults, and even It is not impossible to bring true peace to this world.

Maybe the son of prophecy that Jiraiya said should be this one. It's a pity that you weren't here for today's scene. It's a pity that you didn't discover all this when you came last time. Otherwise, you would be like me now. Be shocked.

There are also those people in Konoha and the noble rulers of various countries who still think that the Country of Whirlpool is like other small countries. Maybe it won't be long before the world takes the Country of Whirlpool seriously.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's mood is very complicated now. Seeing today's scene, on the one hand, he is pleased with the growth of Uzumaki Zihei and the strong cohesion of the Uzumaki Country. The Uzumaki Country will definitely be the most perfect and reliable ally of the Fire Country. On the one hand, one should also be worried that if the Kingdom of Whirlpool continues to grow like this, the threat to the Kingdom of Fire will also increase day by day. It is not known how the two countries will develop by then, whether they will turn against each other or cooperate in depth.

But in my heart, I thought about the various struggles in the ninja world over the years, the dreams that the two teachers talked about in their ears when they were young, and now that Uzumaki dared to show this scene in front of him. , with this kid's cunning, he would not be unprepared, and finally made a decision in his mind.
