In the eyes of the two Konoha elders, Naruto's words were really treasonous.
The Will of Fire was created by the Hokages of all generations who led the entire Konoha.
The first person to propose and practice this was the first Senju Hashirama.
He hoped that every Konoha ninja, whether civilian ninja or family ninja, would have the consciousness to sacrifice for the village.
Instead of just caring about one family and one surname like in the ninja era.
A simple summary of the Will of Fire is "I am for everyone, and everyone is for me."
To be fair, all generations of Hokages have practiced the will of fire.
The first generation Senju Hashirama was dedicated to serving the public; the second generation Senju Tobirama was willing to take the initiative to stay as a queen; the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen, no matter what his reputation was, finally chose to sacrifice.
As for the fourth generation, Feng Minato, Naruto's physical father, he sacrificed his own life and that of his wife in order to put down the Nine-Tails Rebellion.
Unfortunately, as time goes by, people in the village increasingly forget the true core of the Will of Fire.
I am for everyone, and everyone is for me. I only remembered the first half of the sentence, but forgot the second half.
As Konoha develops rapidly, it is often accompanied by tragedy.
Hatake Shigesaku's unjust death, the escape of the Sannin, the sacrifice of the hero's son, the genocide of the Uchiha...
If it weren't for Konoha's thick blood and its strength even after draining so much blood, the Fourth Ninja War would have broken out long ago.
However, this situation ends here.
Naruto will never allow these two good guys to dictate things here again.
"The leaves of trees will fall off in autumn and winter, but new leaves will grow in the spring of next year." Naruto said two more words.
Although this statement refers to leaves, the allusion is very obvious.
Elder Mito was just about to open his mouth to refute when he heard Tsunade's voice: "Whether Naruto's words are deviant or not, let's talk about it later."
"Now, the most important thing is to celebrate, isn't it?"
Tsunade's words were not loud, but they were firm, truly showing the attitude of a village leader.
After all, she is the Fifth Hokage, the supreme leader of Konoha Village, and neither the two elders nor Naruto will offend her.
"Yes!" everyone present said in unison.
Accompanied by cheers and bursts of salutes, Naruto and his party were grandly welcomed into the Hokage Building.
Temari followed Naruto, one or two steps behind, and followed him.
She was the captain of the ninja army sent by Sunagakure, and she returned to Konoha with the spaceship.
After seeing the 'farce' just now, she thought to herself: "These old guys in Konoha Village must be suffering now."
After entering the building, the originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly changed.
Naruto, Sasuke, the elder Mito, and the elder who moved to the dormitory were located on the left and right behind Tsunade, clearly distinguishable.
Hokage's office.
Tsunade walked in first, followed closely by Naruzuo and the two elders. The rest of the people stopped outside knowingly.
Everyone knows that there must be an invisible battle filled with swords and swords.
Compared to the fight inside the Hokage's office, the ninjas staying outside were much better off.
They gathered in groups of twos and threes with acquaintances to discuss topics.
Kakashi was telling Gai what he had seen in Kumogakure Village; Yuhi Kurenai was communicating with Asuma in a low voice; Ino and Sakura were together, quietly talking about Temari...
Of course, there are also many people who are single. For example, Shikamaru, Hinata, Shino, etc.
Among this group of people, the oldest one is the head of the Hyuga family—Hyuga Hizu.
In fact, he has no shortage of people to talk to.
Whether he is talking about love with his daughter Hinata or flirting with his nephew Neji, he can always talk.
It's a pity that if Rizu was a man who could humble himself, he wouldn't have a good relationship with his daughter or nephew.
Hinata Hinata walked to a window and looked up at the Hokage Rock. The head of Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, had just been carved.
Suddenly, Rizu felt a gaze scanning over him!
Don’t be too familiar with this feeling, it’s clearly a roll of the eyes! (Note 1)
Hizu suddenly turned around and saw Hinata and Neji looking normal, feeling strange in his heart.
He is the leader of the Hyuga clan. Which clan member dares to open his Byakugan to peek at him?
Such an incident made him choose to leave here and go out to find out.
He said something to Kakashi, quickly left from the main entrance, then jumped onto the roof, heading towards the place where the feeling just came from.
Of course, Niji's actions were noticed by Neji.
He looked at Rizu's retreating figure, frowned, and chose to leave.
Even the two Hyuga clan members left, and Kakashi also noticed something strange.
"Hinata, has anything happened recently?" As the captain of the ANBU, Kakashi inevitably thought like this.
After returning to the ANBU, let them pay more attention to the Hinata family. Kakashi thought to himself.
"Whoosh" sounded twice, and Rizu's figure stopped in a house.
This place is already close to the living area of the Hyuga clan, which makes Hizu become more vigilant.
Which Hyuga clan member is this, living here secretly? As the clan leader, he has no idea.
Sensing the movement behind him, Rizu turned around.
"It turns out to be Ningji. Can you tell me who lives in this room?" Hizu said.
Neji looked at the head of his family and said, "A person who should have died long ago, a person who doesn't want to see you, and a person you never cared about."
"As for his true identity, there is no need for you to find out. This is [Gen]'s territory."
As soon as Neji finished speaking, he felt a terrifying murderous aura coming out of Nizu opposite him!
He had never seen a clan leader with such a temperament. He was shocked and stepped back.
"Gen?" This word popped out of Hizu's mouth: "Ningji, for your own sake, did you betray your tribe to Gen for experiments?!"
Although Danzo, who was in charge of [Gen] before, has died and has been replaced by a new person, the notoriety accumulated by Gen for decades still prevents Hizu from changing his mind.
The Byakugan Blood Succession Limit is Hinata's lifeblood. In order to protect this lifeline, he even created the inhumane [Caged Bird] curse seal.
In the past, the battles of the Hyuga clan did not involve outsiders in any case, but they knew that once outsiders took advantage of them, the blood of the Byakugan would flow out, and the entire family would be harmed!
At that time, no matter who won, Hinata would be considered a loser.
Especially when Naruto revealed what [Gen] had done to the Uchiha family in the past, it made Hizu even less fond of Gen.
He knew Gen had attacked Uchiha! But he didn't expect it to be so cruel!
The entire clan of Eye-Openers had their eyes gouged out and transplanted into Danzo's arm! How heart-breaking this is!
"Have you forgotten what your father died to protect?" Rarely, Rizu raised this topic.
As soon as he heard Hizu mention this matter, Neji was no longer afraid: "You are not qualified to say this!"
"You disappoint me so much!" Hizu shouted loudly, and his voice even alarmed the ninjas in the Hyuga clan's residential area not far away.
"Bagua—" Rizu put on a posture, preparing to take down Ningji first.
But before he could take action, the sudden appearance of a voice made him stand on the spot in shock.
"don't want!"
This strange yet familiar voice made Rizu's whole body freeze.
He slowly turned around, and a person who shouldn't be alive appeared in his eyes.
His younger brother who had been ‘dead’ for more than ten years—Hyuga Hizashi.
