Ignite the fire from the pirates

Danzo chuckled, "What do you think, little Uchiha? You look a lot like Kagami from the past."

"But in the end, Jing chose the village, and you, as Jing's descendant, are now following the Fourth Hokage to destroy Konoha!"

Shisui clenched his hands.

The kaleidoscope in the eye sockets reappeared.

"You bastard!"

……

At this time, Minato Namikaze signaled Yamanaka Inoichi to record all the events.

After the death of the Second Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen and several of the Second Hokage's disciples returned to the village with the last words of Senju Tobirama.

At this time, Danzo began to master the prototype of the Root and completed many tasks that needed to be completed in secret.

Among them... he also played a role in the decline of the Kurama clan.

……

Meanwhile, at Ninja School.

After the conversation a few days ago, Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind kept replaying Namikaze Minato's words.

War and Peace, the answer seems to have emerged fundamentally.

Anyone who can become Hokage is not stupid. Sarutobi Hiruzen can clearly feel that there is basis and reason in those words.

So after considering it for two days, he chose to attend the history class at the Ninja School.

Of course, as the Third Hokage, he certainly wouldn't come here as an observer.

"Happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy are the nature of living things, even ordinary animals without intelligence are the same."

"In the entire ninja world, each country has its own stance, and each village also has its own interests to protect."

"Similarly, the various ninja clans in the village will have their own positions based on their surnames, and the same is true for individuals."

"So when analyzing a matter, we need to take into account the positions of all parties and analyze the interests of all parties in order to see the essence of the matter clearly."

"We have previously discussed what happened to the various ninja clans during the Warring States Period. Now let's discuss and analyze why the Hyuga were able to become nobles of the Land of Fire."

At the podium, Kevin stopped lecturing.

The students in the audience began to discuss.

For the second year students of Ninja School, many historical events have been discussed in the first year. The students' divergent thinking is a good stage for ideological enlightenment.

Among the students, Hyuga Neji from the Hyuga branch family became the main subject of questioning.

"Since the Warring States Period, the Hyuga clan has had marriages with the nobles of the Land of Fire. This should be the main reason why the Hyuga became nobles."

"It's too superficial... I'm sure the gentleman won't agree."

……

Chapter 386: Danzo takes the blame, Hiruzen protects it

Why did the Hyuga clan become the nobles of the Fire Country?

In the last row of the classroom, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was listening in, was thinking about the same question in his mind as the other students.

But even for the former Hokage, the first answer that came to his mind was the same as that of his students.

The Hyuga family married into a noble family during the Warring States Period, and because the Byakugan inherited through family blood was the same as the eyes of a certain god in the legend, they were able to become one of the nobles later on.

But the students said this answer was too simple.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the three students in the row in front of him. One of them was the son of Hyuga Hizashi. Three years ago, when the eldest daughter of the clan, Hyuga Hinata, was three years old, he was cursed as a caged bird.

"Ningji, your Hyuga clan does seem to be one of the nobles! This is unique in Konoha."

The one who spoke was the daughter of the owner of the village's ninja tool shop... She had the qualifications of a ninja, but did not have a last name.

The other one is called Rock Lee.

The reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen knows the three people in this row is because each of them has their own special features.

A civilian without a surname, but his family's ninja tool shop is related to the village's explosive tags, kunai, shurikens and other supplies.

The elders in his family have extensive connections with the caravans traveling within the Fire Nation.

Although Rock Lee has a surname, his talent in ninjutsu and illusion is basically zero, and only his talent in physical skills is acceptable.

Physical skills... In the past, it was impossible to even enter school with such talent.

It was not until that man appeared before him, knelt on his knees to plead for his son, and demonstrated the value of physical skills, that such a special case was allowed to enter the ninja school.

Might Dai...the red beast who, during the Third Shinobi World War, single-handedly killed four of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist, leaving three of them escaping.

And the forbidden technique of Eight Gates Ninjutsu also came into his sight from that time.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts were in a whirlwind.

When Obito's class first entered school, Might Guy was rejected because he had no talent for ninjutsu and illusion.

This kind of situation happens every year. People have the qualifications for chakra, but their chakra cannot be output stably to form the technique. Such qualifications can only be eliminated.

Matt Day found an opportunity to talk to himself and showed his worth.

After that, his son Might Guy was allowed to enroll as an exception.

Later...Akimichi Choza led Might Guy and three others to carry out a mission. After splitting up, the three kids encountered the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

The Death Gate of the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu and the final blooming of the lotus are revealed to the world.

Finally, it's Hyuga Neji...

His father, Hyuga Hizashi, is the leader of the Hyuga clan's branch family. Only people from the Hyuga branch family will enroll in the Ninja School and become ninjas to carry out missions after graduation.

The Hyuga from the main family do not attend school.

This is a special case for the nobility.

Hyuga Hizashi later sided with Minato, and Hyuga Neji therefore entered the vision of the top management.

"Hinata is one of the nobles, but I'm not."

In the front row, Hyuga Neji calmed down the atmosphere with just one sentence.

Rock Lee asked bluntly, "But isn't Neji also from the Hyuga clan?"

Neji clasped his hands together, "My fate is completely different from theirs, so they are not me."

After he finished speaking, he changed the subject.

"I think the reason why the Zong family was able to become a noble family should be referred to the historical anecdotes that you talked about before."

Neji continued in a deep voice: "Before the Warring States Period, the Ninja Clan founded by the Six Paths Sage fell apart, conflicts gradually arose between individuals in the group, and ninjas with powerful military power began to cause chaos in the world."

"Based on this, nobles are also human beings, and humans will die. And death can make people feel afraid, no matter whether the person is a commoner or a noble."

Tenten nodded solemnly, "But what does this have to do with Hyuuga becoming a noble?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen in the back row of the three had a somewhat dazed look in his eyes.

If you are human, you will die.

Nobles are also human beings.

The legend that the Six Paths Sage founded the Ninja Clan can no longer be verified, but as a former Hokage, he was able to see many of Konoha's documents.

Among them are some records from the Warring States Period.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who already had certain political thinking, immediately understood it.

In fact, the nobles of the Fire Nation not only had marriages with the Hyuga, but after the first generation showed his extraordinary power, the title of the God of Ninja resounded throughout the ninja world.

Based on this, Tsunade was given the title of princess.

The necklace, which is worth a mine, is also a reflection of her princess status.

You should know that even the high-ranking officials of the hostile ninja village need to call Tsunade: Princess Tsunade.

At this time, Rock Lee in the front row suddenly turned around, and was stunned when he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Third... Third-generation sir..."

Tenten on the side gave him a slap, then bowed slightly to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"The Fourth Hokage has been coming to the Ninja School every day for the past few years. Isn't it something that we've become accustomed to, Hokage-sama and some adults auditing history classes?"

Hyuga Neji also bowed slightly.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Does the Third Generation Master know the answer to the gentleman's question?"

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen hesitated.

He had indeed analyzed the answer, but it was not a very bright answer.

After thinking for a moment, he replied: "Ningji... you have already given the answer."

Neji was stunned for a moment, thinking about what he had just said.

At this time, Kevin clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.

The classroom suddenly became quiet.

Kevin started calling on people to answer.

The history course has been going on for more than a year. Children around seven years old have better divergent thinking.

Especially for children in this world, precocious thinking has become a common phenomenon.

There were a variety of answers, one of which even said that Hinata must have noble blood, so he successfully became a noble after the marriage.

However, Kevin finally denied all the answers and said, "Because the nobles...are also human beings, and they are also afraid of death."

Hyuga Neji in the audience suddenly realized.

Then, Kevin talked about the background of the Fire Country Daimyo Mansion and its intersection with the Hyuga clan during the Warring States Period, as well as the special characteristics of the Hyuga clan.

Soon, this ideological class ended.

Kevin and Sarutobi Hiruzen walked side by side in the corridor of the Ninja School.

"It's been a long time since anyone has walked side by side with me."

"Because I don't think you are noble, I naturally have no respect for you."

These words made Sarutobi Hiruzen choke.

This is Konoha, he said the former Kage.

In the village, shadow is jade.

But at this moment, the young man next to him said that jade is not noble.

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a moment and asked, "Where are you from, sir?"

Kevin: "If we go by birth, I'm not sure, but since I became conscious, I should be considered a person from the Rain Country."

Sure enough...the history teachers of Konoha Ninja School are the same teachers of Rain Country Academy.

"Can I ask...why am I not worthy of respect?"

Kevin looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and replied, "The ninja hero of the past is no longer a ninja hero. He handed the knife to the root, and the good plan was indecisive. After the blade was stained with blood, he passively accepted the result."

"Whether it's the death of Konoha's White Fang Hatake Sakumo or the laissez-faire attitude of the Root towards power that led to a series of tragedies, none of this is worthy of praise and respect."

The two of them walked outside the teaching building.

Sarutobi Hiruzen remained silent all the way.

The two of them didn't stop until they reached the outdoor training ground under the teaching building.

At this time in the training ground, Uchiha Sasuke, a first-year student, was throwing kunai.

The kunai hit the bull's eye after being thrown out, and the second and third kunai were thrown out immediately afterwards. After the collision, their flight trajectories changed and they hit the other two targets.

"Hatake Sakumo is not fit to be Hokage."

"The name Konoha White Fang itself represents his identity as a sword. His suicide further proves that his character is not suitable for becoming a Kage. I know all this very well."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's pupils shrank.
