Hinata: I'm in charge of Konoha.

People in the ninja world mature very early, and Hinata knew this long ago.

You can tell just by looking at my own class. They're all ten-year-old kids, especially the girls, who are always thinking about romance.

Only the boys were slightly more normal, but they were all about the same.

I heard that Naruto, that blond guy, has recently developed the Sexy Jutsu.

If this were Hinata's previous life, at this age, she would probably still be playing with a bunch of kids, using firecrackers to find cow dung and blow it up.

Therefore, one cannot judge the people of the ninja world based on the mindset of their past lives.

The thinking of ten-year-old children in the ninja world is basically comparable to that of teenagers in the previous life, and many teenagers, whether in their previous life or in the ninja world, have one thing in common.

Secondary disease.

That's probably why Itachi Uchiha did such crazy things.

He'll probably feel a pang of self-satisfaction after he's killed his own kind...

Perhaps he later realized his problem, so as an undercover agent in Akatsuki, he didn't send back a single word of intelligence, let alone any.

If he really is an undercover agent, perhaps he won't die in the future.

Hinata, sitting in the classroom, slowly twirled her pen in her hand, propped her cheek up with one hand, and looked at the test paper in front of her, a playful smile appearing on her lips.

Choose one of the following three topics: Naruto, Konoha, or The Will of Fire, and express your own understanding of it.

This is the question.

-

The flames blazed brightly, their shadows looming faintly.

Where there is light, there is darkness; where there is fire, there is shadow.

The Hokage is the one who bears both light and darkness.

They are also the ones who carry all hopes.

A person who aspires to be Hokage should have lofty ambitions and profound wisdom.

Beyond formidable military force, strategic planning is equally essential.

In the fifty-eight years since the founding of Konoha, three Shinobi World Wars have broken out. We are both winners and losers.

The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, quelled the chaos of the world and founded Konoha, thus earning the title of Hokage.

The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, took over Konoha after the First Hokage's death. During a time of turmoil in Konoha, he turned the tide, subdued enemies from all sides, and became world-renowned. Sadly, he died young.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, led Konoha to victory in two Shinobi World Wars.

The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, bravely faced death during the Nine-Tails' rampage.

Throughout the ninja world, and through countless historical records, only two words can be found.

war!

How can we prevent or reduce war?

Only by making Konoha the strongest in the true sense!

So powerful it's breathtaking, so powerful it instills fear in even the most despicable!

The five great nations of the ninja world have been at war for many years, and although Konoha is strong, it is not strong enough.

Only by making them completely submit and lose their will to compete with us can we achieve our goal!

The Land of Fire is a vast and fertile land, always considered a treasure by the land, water, and mines, which is also the origin of all the conflicts.

The four kingdoms of Fengtu, Shui, and Lei are barren, resource-poor, and their people suffer from poverty.

This could be used as an opportunity to petition the government, lower the price of exported grain, and raise the price of imported silk fabrics.

As the saying goes, "no merchant is without guile," and the merchants from the other four countries will surely buy up silk fabrics in large quantities to sell back to their own countries. When the silk supply of the four countries cannot meet the demand, they will definitely buy land to plant mulberry trees.

Meanwhile, the price of grain in the country dropped significantly, making it available for purchase by merchants from the four countries, thus supplying the people of the four countries with the resources of one country.

At that time, if no one in the four countries were to grow grain, at least the yield would drop significantly.

In just five years, the life and death of the four countries will be in my hands.

Once food supplies run out, chaos will surely ensue in the four kingdoms!

At that time, we can form an alliance with them and provide them with some aid and supplies.

Avoid becoming the target of public criticism.

When supplies run out and retreat means national annihilation, they will surely invade the country of fire.

Five years later, we will prepare our troops and use our elite forces to fight against the weakened enemy.

Even if the enemy army is at risk of national subjugation, their fear and sorrow will turn them into a desperate army.

But the momentum will be strong at the first attempt, then weak at the second, and exhausted at the third. Even if the desperate army is bound to win, we only need to hold off the enemy and get them into a protracted war. Once our supplies are cut off, our army will surely win.

The world has stood in tripartite balance for a long time, but now one of its pillars has been broken!

By then, the tide will be turned, and there will be no need to worry about the world not being unified.

The remaining three countries are all weakened. If they try to resist Konoha's elite forces with their weak strength, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, which is overestimating their own strength.

Within five years, the three kingdoms surrendered, the smaller kingdoms were subdued, and the ninja world was unified.

In ten years, with the power of a single nation, we will sweep across the world.

With the world unified, even if the remnants of four kingdoms attempt to restore their states, the overall situation is already set. Anyone who wishes to return to the current era of numerous kingdoms and constant warfare would undoubtedly be courting death.

The title of Hokage should refer to the Hokage of the ninja world, not just the Hokage of a single country.

The name of Hokage should burn throughout the ninja world, not just in one corner of the land.

The world has suffered from war and chaos for too long. The Hokage should quell the war in the ninja world and pave the way for peace for the world.

Even after the peace was restored and the Fire Kingdom collapsed, there were still descendants who remembered its will for peace and followed one after another, bravely sacrificing their lives to rebuild a peaceful order.

This is Naruto.

The Hokage of the ninja world, the Hokage of all under heaven.

……

Hinata looked at the book "On Hokage" in her hand and nodded in satisfaction.

As expected of myself, I'm simply a genius!

I wonder if this thing will fool people.

Those Nagato, Obito, and Madara are all utterly weak.

All they do all day is shout slogans and talk about peace, but in the end it all comes down to some vague and unrealistic thing like Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Especially Obito Uchiha and Madara Uchiha, in the Fourth Shinobi World War, they actually used the Ten-Tails to randomly launch Tailed Beast Balls at the entire Shinobi World in order to find the headquarters of the Allied Shinobi Forces?

You call this a person who works for peace?

This is a true executioner, a murderer.

Looking at the impromptu Longzhong Dialogue he had written in his hand...

Oh no, it's "On Naruto," which is much better than the so-called Infinite Tsukuyomi.

"Teacher Iruka!"

"I'm done writing!"

Hinata picked up the exam paper with great interest and handed it to Iruka, who was proctoring the exam.

"Well, there's still half an hour until the practical assessment. Hinata, you can rest for a bit."

Iruka took the test paper but didn't look at it much. Instead, he spoke gently, as if comforting Hinata.

Hinata's theoretical tests have always been abysmal, so the fact that she was able to write something now is quite good in Iruka's eyes.

"Uh-huh!"

Hinata nodded with a smile. She couldn't wait to see what Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression would be when he saw her "On Hokage"!

I can't wait any longer!

Just as Hinata leisurely walked out of the examination room, Iruka had already put Hinata's test paper together with Neji's and Toneri's test papers, preparing to pack them up and send them to the principal's office.

It was a rare occurrence for a ninja academy student to apply for early graduation, and Hiruzen Sarutobi had been waiting in the principal's office for quite some time.

"Lord Hokage, these are Hinata, Neji, and Toneri's written test answer sheets."

Iruka Umino handed the exam paper to Hiruzen Sarutobi and bowed before leaving.

Hiruzen Sarutobi opened the exam paper with a smile, wanting to see what insights this three-headed tiger of the Hyuga clan had about Konoha, the Hokage, and the Will of Fire.

Hinata's test paper was the first to be tested; Hiruzen Sarutobi only glanced at a few lines...

He couldn't laugh anymore...
