Naruto: My Peaceful Life - Chapter 19
Chapter 19: Your Own Will of Fire?
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled smugly after hearing this: “Hey, I know! This is Shodai’s Will of Fire!”
Hashirama patted Sarutobi Hiruzen’s head in satisfaction, “Not bad, monkey. This is my Will of Fire.”
“Then what is your Will of Fire?”
After hearing this, several people were stunned. They seemed to have never thought about this issue before.
“Your will is our will, Hokage-sama,” Danzo said seriously.
Qufeng glanced at Danzo out of the corner of his eye when he heard this. He was very different from the future Dark of Konoha at this moment.
Although he was serious, Qu Feng in the clouds could see the light in his eyes.
“No, you must have your own will!” Hashirama said sternly, and his tone shocked everyone present.
“When you go back today, think carefully about what I said and find your own Will of Fire! Tell me in a week!”
Hashirama’s aura was so powerful that these fledgling children simply couldn’t handle it.
He could only nod in agreement, but Kumo Qufeng had no effect.
But in order not to appear ostentatious, he nodded nervously.
Qufeng had some guesses about what his master said, and he already had some ideas about his own will of fire.
“Kami, what exactly do you mean by Hokage-sama?”
Akamichi Qufeng kept eating snacks, he just thought for a while.
He was certain that he did not have his own Will of Fire.
“I guess what the Hokage means is that he doesn’t want all of us to build the village according to his ideas. Otherwise, we will all become puppets carrying out his orders.”
Akamichi Qufeng nodded after hearing this, and Jing’s words made him suddenly realize.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Second Hokage will definitely be Lord Tobirama.
He is naturally relieved about his younger brother, the Hokage.
But the Third Hokage will most likely be chosen from among them.
If the person chosen is a Hokage who only develops according to the ideas of his ancestors and does not know how to adapt.
Then there will definitely be problems in the village.
Danzo, who was standing by, also heard what Jing said and began to reflect. The words of the Hokage just now made him realize something.
He has always been carrying out the will of the Hokage, and even imagined what he would be like when he became Hokage in the future.
‘My own Will of Fire?’
He didn’t know that he had been practicing and studying with the two adults since he was a child.
The thoughts and wills of the two adults have permeated every part of his body.
Not only Danzo, but everyone except Qufeng and Zhili had a more or less confused look on their faces.
Especially Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was dodging back and forth between the five teammates and asking questions.
Finally, Koharu got so angry that he had to be beaten up that he finally behaved himself.
Hashirama was also a little worried. This was a test for them. If they could solve it successfully, the future would be bright.
Actually, it’s his own fault. If he hadn’t realized it too late, he wouldn’t have to make things difficult for these children.
“Children, don’t be too anxious. Calm down and think about what I say.”
Hashirama consoled him, “Today’s test is a bit difficult, so I won’t allow you to practice any more. We are dismissed.”
For Monkey and his friends, learning Ninjutsu is no longer the most important thing, improving their combat skills is the most important thing.
Normally, Tobirama would lead them in actual combat exercises, but since the eldest brother has spoken today, let’s disband.
After hearing the disbandment, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others staggered down the mountain.
Qufeng and Zhili trained in physical skills with Hashirama for the whole morning, and both gained a lot from it.
Whether it is Qufeng or Zhili, they both have one thing in common: they are strong in ninjutsu but weak in physical skills.
Senju Hashirama also focuses on physical skills.
The two were really tired this morning, but they had no complaints. After all, this was the fastest way to improve their strength.
At noon, Hashirama let Qufeng and the other two go and rest.
“Brother, why did you ask such a question today? You didn’t say that before.”
Tobirama had actually been a little confused about what his eldest brother had said this morning.
They taught Sarutobi and Hiruzen together for so many years even though they never said it explicitly.
But the eldest brother’s idea is to have Sarutobi Hiruzen and others inherit his will.
But why did you suddenly change your mind today?
Hashirama put his hands on his waist and laughed, “This is the disciple I accepted.”
Tobirama was even more confused now. How could such a child really influence his big brother’s will?
Seeing confusion written all over his brother’s face, Hashirama decided not to keep him in suspense any longer.
“I had a private chat with Qufeng last night. I originally wanted to ask him about his experience in practicing Cloud Escape, but this guy’s words gave me some inspiration.”
“oh?”
“He said that their ancestors passed down a set of Cloud Escape techniques, which clearly records the ratios of various Chakra attributes.”
Tobirama nodded. Almost all families that possess secret techniques will leave behind training methods in this way to facilitate learning for future generations.
“But for some reason, Qufeng just couldn’t cultivate according to the instructions on the scroll. In the end, he had no choice but to re-explore the chakra ratio on his own, and only then did he succeed.”
After hearing this, Tobirama probably understood what his elder brother was trying to say.
“In fact, the succession of the Hokage position is different from the situation of the Kumo Clan.”
“I am like an ancestor in the clouds, leaving behind a fixed will of fire to teach future generations how to manage the village. Perhaps many generations will be able to continue the village according to my will.”
“But what if something unexpected happens in a certain generation! My Will of Fire can’t save the village and the Hokage doesn’t know how to adapt!”
“Just like Yun Zhongshan, who followed the scrolls but failed to master the Cloud Escape technique that had been passed down for countless generations, the entire village could have been destroyed.”
“Perhaps after a few generations, someone like Qufeng in the Clouds will emerge and lead the village again, but the damage the village has suffered during this period is immeasurable!”
Hashirama became more and more excited as he spoke, his emotions rising.
Because he couldn’t accept the village he loved so much and wanted to protect at all costs.
It is really possible that it will disappear into history at some point in the future.
Just like the countless families that perished during the war, they couldn’t even make a splash against the backdrop of the entire world.
“Actually, I’ve been thinking about it all night, wondering whether I should test them this way.”
“After all, my will is enough to guarantee a happy life for generations, but I finally decided to trust them.”
Tobirama didn’t know what to say at this point, so he just patted his eldest brother’s shoulder.
He will support whatever decision his elder brother makes, but he also has his own standards.
“If they can’t stand the test, we can’t hand the village over to them.”
Tobirama originally came to the village to fulfill his eldest brother’s dream, but as he watched the village grow and develop little by little, he unknowingly fell in love with the village.
Fortunately, they still have enough time to raise the chicks long enough for them to leave the nest, and then they may be able to relax.
Senju Hashirama looked at the sun at noon and smiled warmly.
“Believe in them. Young people have unlimited potential.”
