Lord Naruto

Chapter 63 The Will of Fire I Choose

After the welcome ceremony, Uzumaki Ziping took the still-shocked Sarutobi Hiruzen in a chakra-powered car and went to Dawn Academy for a visit. The students and teachers of the academy had already been notified and did the same. Get ready to meet the Hokage of Konoha.

However, the reception in the college was not as lively as the outside. Only a small number of students and teachers who did not have classes came.

"Hiruzen, how do you feel when you see how my academy is like? It's not bad." Uzumaki said with a smile.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at this guy with a proud face. He didn't know that he was showing off, but after carefully looking at the academy, Sarutobi Hiruzen also knew why this guy was so proud, and Konoha's Compared to a ninja school that generations of Hokages were very proud of, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a little embarrassed, like a child and an adult.

"Hiruzhan, come on, I'll take you to have a good tour of Dawn Academy in our Kingdom of Whirlpool. Let's start from the teaching building!"

After saying that, he led Sarutobi Hiruzen towards the teaching building, followed by a large group of people, and then the flashing camera clicked, and Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but ask.

"Ziping, what are you doing with these cameras? Why have these people been following me since I entered the City of Hope?"

It's no wonder Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know this. Although the technology in the Naruto world is not too bad, it has never been developed and used well. It may just be the product of the development of this world. Although there are many technologies, However, none of them have been well developed and used.

"Oh! You are talking about these people. Some are staff of the Propaganda Department of the Kingdom of Whirlpool, some are newspaper reporters from the other two main cities, and a small number are students of the student union of this college. They take pictures like this to record their status. Konoha Hokage, your friendly visit to our country of Whirlpool also records the deep friendship between our two countries, and then publicizes it to the people across the country, letting the people know the friendly relationship between our two countries, and also It will be written into the history of our country of vortex."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was listening to Uzumaki Zihei's explanation, was stunned for a moment. What's going on? I just came to talk to you about something, but do you need to make it so grand? It should be recorded and written into history.

Anyway, today was shocking enough. If there was anything more shocking, Hiruzen Sarutobi could accept it and continued to follow Uzumaki Ziping to the teaching building. The lower grades from three to eight years old, and those from 12 to 16 years old Sarutobi Hiruzen gained a lot from the content he learned in the upper grades and at each grade.

When arriving at the training ground of the academy, watching the training contents taught by the teachers of the academy to each grade was an eye-opener for Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Finally, we visited the mission building of the academy. Looking at the missions for the students and teachers, Sarutobi Hiruzen really gained a lot. He decided at that moment that he would reform the ninja school in this way when he returned to Konoha. .

"How about it, Hiruzen has benefited a lot. I also came from the ninja school in Konoha, so I always feel that the training of ninjas does not need to be so cruel. The average life span of ninjas during the Warring States Period was less than 30 years old. It’s because many children are going to war.”

"Although Konoha no longer needs children to go to the battlefield due to the changes of the two Hokages, some principles have not changed. Ninjas are not a ruthless profession. Ninjas are also living beings, and ninjas also have feelings. Yes, but too many people, even Konoha, have been using ninjas as weapons of killing."

"Konoha is okay, but in other countries, nothing has changed. They just use ninjas as tools. How many child ninjas have died in my hands? You know why I gave up taking over as Hokage in the first place. Come to the Kingdom of Whirlpool."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who listened carefully to Uzumaki Zihei's words, looked at him strangely. After sitting on the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen realized that it was Uzumaki Zihei who took the initiative to give up the position of Hokage, and the condition was that group of people. If this guy had chosen to compete, maybe the Sandaime wouldn't have been him.

"Let's go to the conference building and discuss it in detail. I know

Now you have a lot to say to me. "

After that, he took Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had visited the academy, to the conference building. At the same time, he also dispersed the large number of people who followed him, leaving only Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uzumaki Zihei.

"Okay, it's just me now, I can tell you some things." In fact, the relationship between the two was very good when they were in Konoha, and now they are like old friends who haven't seen each other for many years.

"Hiruzhan, have you been racking your brains these past few years as Hokage? The old guys are relying on their old age and selling off their old age. The younger ones like Shimura Danzo and the others..." Speaking of this, Uzumaki Zihei is also one of them. Shake his head.

"Alas! Today's Konoha is no longer the Konoha it was when the two Hokage-samas were there. Only after Teacher Tobirama's unexpected sacrifice, the war is over, but the situation in Konoha has changed again."

"After I succeeded to the throne of Hokage, I realized that Konoha was not what it wanted to say. I fell into various whirlpools every day. Every family was fighting for their own interests, and they became less and less considerate. Village, I can't even intimidate all races like the two Hokage-sama. Sometimes I really envy you for choosing to come to the Country of Whirlpool. Now that I see the development of the Country of Whirlpool, I'm afraid you would have been there long ago. Understand that there will be these.”

Hearing this, Uzumaki smiled and said.

"Hiruzen, do you now blame me for leaving Konoha instead of staying in the Land of Fire to develop? Do you still remember the dreams and Hokage's will that the two adults once said?"

"Let children no longer be involved in war, but grow up in peace and not die young due to war."

"Where the leaves are flying, the fire is still alive."

"Build a village where there are no barriers between tribes, jointly protect the village's heritage, work together for the village, and do not create a hierarchy between people because of excellence and mediocrity, just like a family."

"The older generation protects the growth of young people, while young people bear the hope of the future."

Uzumaki Ziping said these slowly and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"What I said Hiruzen is right, but now you look at what Konoha is like now, and look at what the Uzumaki Country is like now, I don't think there is anything wrong with what I did. , Wherever the leaves are flying, the fire is endless. As long as there are flying leaves and the flames in my heart are endless, I feel that there are wooden leaves everywhere and the heirs of the will of fire."

"And don't forget the relationship between Senju and Uzumaki. As the successor of the Wood Release Immortal Technique, your original choice was not wrong."

"When my uncle joined forces with Uchiha to establish Konoha, the original purpose was not only to find a place for the children to grow up happily, but look at Konoha now. It has become a training base for national war weapons."

"I came out just to look for another possible place to fulfill the dreams of the two Hokages, so I feel that I am not wrong. However, over the years, what have Konoha and the Country of Fire done to the Country of Whirlpool? They have all forgotten about the Uzumaki Country, which was once like a family, and instead regard it as a threat. Hiruzen, do you think what I said is correct?"

After hearing these words from Uzumaki Ziping, Sarutobi Hiruzen also sighed slowly.

"I know, so I came here in person this time, and you deliberately arranged everything today for me to see. I guessed right that this academy is also the place where you will complete the two adults."

"Well! That's right, because I have only done one thing now, which is to give children a happy place to grow up. Ninjas trained in this academy cannot graduate until they are 16 years old, even if some talented ninjas have strong strength , can’t graduate either. This is the right and task that I, as the leader of this country, give to the children.”

"Our ninjas in the Country of Whirlpool must be over 16 years old before they can second in this country. This is another way I chose to inherit the will of fire."

"What I arranged to say today is just to tell you that Konoha also needs to change, and the person who can change it must be you, not me."
