2 What is the Will of Fire?

After two full hours, Sarutobi Hiruzen's speech at the opening ceremony of the ninja academy finally finished.

Shiraishi's legs were sore from standing there, but he patiently wrote down the contents of Sarutobi Hiruzen's speech.

As a 'traitor', you must not show any dissatisfaction or strangeness before you betray.

That is to say, what the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen said is likely to be tested in school.

Although the speeches of the third hokage are cheaper than the chicken soup articles I have seen in my previous life.

After the speech, the students exited in order and returned to their corresponding classes.

The teachers will have a meeting.

The class assigned to Shiraishi is Class A of the first grade.

The entire classroom is arranged in steps, and the length of each table can accommodate three people, that is, three people will share a table.

Shiraishi found his name in the middle of the second-to-last row by the window in the classroom, and the name 'Chiba Shiraishi' was written in bold letters.

When he found his seat, someone was already sitting on the innermost side by the window.

She was a tall, straight black girl who was about the same age as Shiraishi, and she was also five or six years old.

Dragging her chin with one hand, she looked at the playground outside the window very quietly, and there was an unapproachable atmosphere surrounding her.

"Hello, my name is Chiba Shiraishi, please give me your advice."

Try not to attract attention, but you can't be too withdrawn, this is the position Shiraishi has found himself in.

So, when he sat down next to the girl, Shiraishi introduced himself first.

The other party turned his head slightly, and took away the hand supporting her chin. On her delicate and lovely face, her expression was slightly indifferent and aloof. Her dark pupils released a pure and icy breath like snowflakes, and she spoke to Shiraishi in a condescending tone: "Uchiha Ruri."

The cold black long straight little lolita.

After the girl named Uchiha Ruri finished speaking, Shiraishi felt that the surrounding temperature dropped a lot.

After that, Shiraishi had no idea to talk to Uchiha Ruri again.

Sitting quietly in his seat, he flipped through the textbooks that had been prepared on the desktop.

There are quite a few types of teaching materials, including "Konoha Ninja Village Chronicle", "Hokage Quotations", "The First Hokage and the Will of Fire"... Among them, the book "The First Hokage and the Will of Fire" is placed on the top.

Shiraishi read very carefully, because this is an important way to obtain information.

Because of the previous speech of Third hokage at the opening ceremony, Shiraishi only had a half-knowledge of the "Will of Fire" promoted by Konoha Village, and there may be some omissions.

Now he wants to deeply interpret what the so-called "will of fire" is all about.

Find out more about whether this so-called ninja school is a brainwashing institution.

Although Shiraishi no longer has any luck with this village named Konoha.

The opening words of "The First Hokage and the Will of Fire" -

where the leaves dance, the fire is also endless. The firelight will continue to illuminate the village and cause new leaves to sprout.

The meaning of this sentence is easy to understand.

Young people are the hope of the village in the future, and the older generation should trust the young people and guard them.

The sacrifice of the older generation is not worthless, but to encourage the young people to become the pillars who can bear the future of the village.

The burning flame of fallen leaves is likened to the heroic sacrifice of the older generation, and the new leaves are likened to the young people.

Cycle of Reincarnation.

This is the core essence of the will of fire.

At first glance it looks nice and reasonable.

But thinking of those children who will be sent to the battlefield under the age of ten...

well... this seems to be using the sacrifices of young people to illuminate the older generation...

So, this kind of will is false and empty.

At least Shiraishi thinks so.

Why other people in konoha Village didn't discover such an obvious mistake?

Shiraishi continued to read, unaware of the passage of time around him, but as each page was turned, Shiraishi felt his lips dry, and a bean-sized cold sweat oozes from his forehead.

There is nothing nutritious in this book, and it is full of utopian and dreamy ideas without any value.

Is this the will passed down by the God of shinobi?

Has he ever read a book?

What about the guidelines in Will of Fire?

What about the ideology?

What about the detailed scales and standards?

Shiraishi felt that the contents of this book "The First Hokage and the Will of Fire" were very dazzling.

The whole story is about the ideals of the first generation of Hokage, such as family, peace, and child protection...

but there is no specific plan.

Moreover, it seems that protecting children has not been done.

Now in Konoha, a large number of children under the age of ten are being sent to the battlefield to be sacrificed as cannon fodder.

Thus, Shiraishi finally discovered the fact that the words 'Will of Fire' were written on every crooked page of this book.

But through the backside of these countless "will of fire", Shiraishi discovered the content between the words - pyramid schemes.

Konoha Village is a terrorist organization.

Ninja School is a pyramid scheme brainwashing institution.

What is even more frightening is that such books appear in the ninja school openly, what does this mean?

It means that the upper echelons of the village have brainwashed all the adults in the village, and then it will be the turn of the new generation of children.

Unfortunately, Shiraishi himself will be one of the members brainwashed by this so-called 'Will of Fire'.

It wasn't until a soft voice sounded next to his ear that Shiraishi woke up like a dream.

"Well, are you okay? You've sweated a lot. Is there something uncomfortable?"

"Ah?"

Shiraishi turned his head and saw a cute girl with long straight black hair like Uchiha Ruri. Compared with the ice on Uchiha Ruri's face, the pure pupils of the other party have obvious soft colors, and they should be the type that is not difficult to get along with.

It's just that her eyes are weird.

It is a pure white color without impurities.

Contact lenses?

"Are you okay? Your face is sweating a lot."

The other party still cared about Shiraishi in a gentle voice.

Only then did Shiraishi touch his face, a lot of cold sweat broke out, he shook his head dryly and said, "It's okay, maybe it's because I accidentally drank expired milk last night, and my stomach feels a little uncomfortable."

"Really?"

She looked at him suspiciously.

"I'm sorry to make you worry. I'm Chiba Shiraishi, how about you?"

"Hyuga Ayane, please give me advice."

The other party smiled softly and generously, and Shiraishi was also infected by this pure smile, and seemed relieved nodded.

Uchiha Ruri on the other side glanced thoughtfully at the book Shiraishi had just read, and told her intuitively that Shiraishi was sweating coldly because of the book in his hand, and his eyes were obviously dazed and scared.

This made Ruri very curious.

It's just a book, is it scary enough?

My deskmate is really a strange guy.
