Madara, let's change the world together!

During this time, he refused to meet with others under the pretext of work, leaving Fengsha there, while he himself used the Flying Thunder God Formation to first go to the City of the Rising Sun and then to the Land of Water.

He instructed Bai Miao to take the selected children, such as Mei Terumi, Zabuza, and Kisame, to Hatsuhi Castle as exchange students for two years before bringing them back to Kirigakure.

Then I decided to spend two hours here every day handling government affairs.

When he returned to Konoha, he issued a temporary order to all Konoha merchants directly under the Konoha Merchants Association.

Kakashi and his friends trained for a day, and then went to school the next day.

And the arrangements made by Qingjingyuan have officially begun to take effect.

"Where the leaves dance, the fire will never cease. The firelight will continue to illuminate the village and allow new leaves to sprout."

Inside the ninja academy, the teacher is passionately expounding on the "Will of Fire."

Sacrifice?

Kakashi squinted, lost in thought.

If he had taken this class a week ago, he probably would have been just as excited as many others in the classroom.

such as

"This is it!"

Obito Uchiha, sitting next to Rin Nohara, had eyes that seemed to be shining.

Young people are the hope of the future, and the older generation should trust and protect them. The sacrifices of the older generation are not meaningless, but will inspire young people to become pillars of the future.

This is a spirit of selflessness.

It was the spirit promoted by the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, who hoped that there would be no barriers between clans in the village and that everyone would work together for the sake of the village.

It requires every individual in every clan to not only sacrifice for the benefit of their clan, but also to prioritize the greater good and contribute to the village.

We must protect our fellow villagers. Everyone in the village is one family, and there will be no class difference between people because of powerful clans versus ordinary clans.

The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, inherited the Will of Fire, so in order to cover the retreat of his six disciples, he did not use the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape and died on the battlefield.

later

Minato Namikaze inherited the Will of Fire and sent the rampaging Nine-Tails outside Konoha. Together with Kushina Uzumaki, they sealed it into their child at the cost of their lives.

Hiruzen Sarutobi inherited the Will of Fire and used the Reaper Death Seal to seal Orochimaru's hands.

Uchiha Shisui inherited the Will of Fire, but he couldn't even use Kotoamatsukami before jumping into the river and committing suicide.

Uchiha Itachi inherited the Will of Fire. For the sake of the village's peace and his younger brother's peace, he took the initiative to find Obito, who was disguised as Uchiha Madara at the time, and asked him to cooperate in wiping out the entire Uchiha clan except for his younger brother. He did not even spare ordinary people with bloodlines. Then he infiltrated Akatsuki as a spy.

Jiraiya inherited the Will of Fire. Although he could have escaped, he died at Pain's hands while trying to obtain information about Pain.

Might Guy inherited the Will of Fire and, with the resolve to sacrifice himself, opened the Eight Gates to dance with Madara Uchiha, while simultaneously buying time.

Selfless sacrifice is something to be celebrated.

But what should have allowed Konoha to develop better—with elders retiring and outstanding young people taking over, maintaining the village's youthful vitality through constant renewal—has now...

Kakashi began to ponder the flaws of the Will of Fire.

If the Will of Fire praises the spirit of sacrifice, then who is it that is sacrificed?

Was it his father who committed suicide?

But did the father's death bring any benefits to the village?

Who benefits from this?

Is it Konoha?

Kakashi narrowed his eyes, and the face of someone flashed into his mind.

In any case, after his father's death, this so-called Will of Fire was a joke to him.

He glanced at Kurenai and Shizune beside him; neither of them seemed particularly interested in the course.

Also.

The teacher then talked about the significance of the Will of Fire and the great deeds of those who sacrificed themselves for the village because of the Will of Fire.

It was far less interesting and memorable than Uncle Yuan's lectures.

Previously, they had listened to Uncle Yuan tell thought-provoking stories, analyzing the whole from different angles, different characters, and different perspectives to understand the beginning and end of a story.

Good guys, bad guys, right, wrong

When you change your perspective, right and wrong in this world can be reinterpreted.

Kakashi recalled Kiyoi Gen's writings and lessons, and he felt that his uncle Gen had been slowly guiding them to think about the meaning of the Ninja World War.

It seems he has his own ideas about the current ninja world, but he hasn't explicitly or implicitly told them.

I want to know more, and I want to have the wisdom to see through the world like Uncle Yuan!

This ninja academy is such a waste of time!

At lunchtime, everyone prepared to go home for lunch.

The afternoon consisted of basic physical training for ninjas and a shuriken test.

"Kakashi, why didn't you guys come the other day?"

Obito asked Kakashi with some concern.

He sensed that Kakashi seemed to have changed a little.

The three of them arrived later than him this morning, and class started right away, so there was really no time to ask questions.

"Let me explain."

The five of them arrived near the swings on the school playground. There was no one there now, so it was a good place to chat.

That's right.

Kurenai Yuhi briefly explained their current situation and said that they would prepare for graduating early.

Kakashi's father, the Konoha hero White Fang, is dead?!

Obito and Rin both looked shocked.

So, Kakashi went to bury his father the day before yesterday.

"Kakashi, I'm sorry."

Seeing Obito apologize to him, Kakashi asked in confusion.

Why are you apologizing? Did you do anything wrong?

Obito scratched his head.

He didn't pay attention to the rumors; he'd rather help more elderly people in need.

He just thought that if his grandmother, who was taking care of him, were to pass away now, he certainly wouldn't be as calm as Kakashi.

They must be in agonizing pain.

Kakashi

As expected, Kakashi is incredibly talented, both in terms of his innate abilities and his willpower.

After truly getting to know Kakashi, Obito gradually developed a deep respect for him.

At the same time, there is also a desire to catch up.

The desire to stand by his side and fight alongside him.

However, it would be difficult for him to do so as the last one in the class.

"Don't worry too much about my feelings."

Kakashi looked at Obito and Rin; at least their concern for him was undeniable.

"Instead of this, would you like to join our cultivation?"

Ugh?

Obito and Rin were puzzled.

"Ah, is that so?"

Kurenai explained to them that they were preparing to graduate early in the future.

"Of course!"

Obito nodded firmly and clenched his fist.

He's destined to become Kakashi's nemesis and a man who will eventually become Hokage!

Nohara Rin nodded in agreement.

"I would like to ask Lady Tsunade for medical ninjutsu."

"That way, if anyone gets injured, I can heal them."

Lin!

You are such a kind angel!

Obito was incredibly excited.

It's wonderful that Lin can see his heroic figure while cultivating!

"Kakashi, then go and invite Guy."

No!

Kakashi's eyes clearly conveyed this meaning.

He really can't stand people who are too hot-blooded!

"Alright then, Rin, Obito, let's start training together again tomorrow afternoon."

"It's settled."

"Hmm!" x2

The five of them walked out of the ninja academy gates; Obito and Rin were going home for dinner.
