Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

"Many of you may not know me, so before I begin my speech today, let me first introduce myself..."

"My name is Shirokumo Aoba. It doesn't matter whether you remember my name or not. What matters is that I am the disciple of Tsunade, the strongest medical ninja in Konoha. The Third Hokage is my grandmaster."

"Furthermore, I have already learned the A-rank medical ninjutsu Palm Healing Technique and Chakra Scalpel, and I have also mastered Lady Tsunade's superhuman strength techniques, and I know a little bit about hand and foot fighting."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was puffing on his pipe and waiting for the next part to continue, suddenly choked, and couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, "This little guy is still so special..."

"That brat!"

Tsunade, who was standing at the back listening, couldn't help but twitch her lips. Quite a few people had already turned their attention to her.

However, it's much better than the original one. The original speech was so bad that even she, the person in charge, felt embarrassed when she heard it.

The initially dismissive looks from the audience gradually changed, and their resistance to listening to a child's speech disappeared completely.

They already felt like they were about to be burned by the intense will of fire.

Bai Yunqingye's gaze swept down, and seeing that they had all sat up straight, he nodded in satisfaction. Now that's more like a speech.

Now, he's about to officially begin his formulaic speeches.

"Respected teachers, dear classmates! Today is the opening day of the Konoha Ninja Academy, the annual day for new students to enroll, and as a new student myself, it is a great honor for me to be here to give a speech..."

The sudden, loud, and somewhat affected voice pierced everyone's eardrums, and the entire auditorium trembled slightly.

A vivid and expressive performance!

A resounding statement!

"I studied under Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin. The more I learned, the more I understood the shortcomings of ordinary ninjas and the important role of medical ninjas."

"The unique medical system established by my teacher is one of the key reasons why Konoha is stronger than the other four great ninja villages."

"Medical ninja..."

"..."

"During missions, there are often situations where medical ninjas are needed, such as head injuries, fractures, severe bleeding, poisoning, and other problems that are difficult for ordinary ninjas to handle. However, if your team has a medical ninja, they can provide timely treatment..."

"..."

Baiyun and Qingye narrated the story with great emotion.

But most of the children below were already drowsy, and many teachers and parents also seemed a bit bored. He knew it was time to end with the Will of Fire.

"Over the past few decades, Konoha has experienced three Shinobi World Wars. It was the sacrifice of countless Konoha ninjas that enabled us to win these brutal wars."

“To this day, Kumogakure bullies us, Iwagakure humiliates us, and even Sunagakure is eyeing us covetously.”

"We are now at a turning point in the future development of Konoha."

"The future of Konoha, the hope of the ninja village, rests on our shoulders. At this important and difficult moment, we should remember the Will of Fire even more!"

"Promote the tenacious, hardworking, dedicated, and never-give-up spirit of fire."

We must firmly believe that no winter lasts forever, and no spring fails to arrive!

"We will become outstanding successors of Konoha's future, guided by the Will of Fire! Let's work together, progress together, and look to the future! Let's contribute to a better Konoha!"

"Let Konoha be great again!"

Chapter 88 An Unbreakable Alliance

"And I, as Tsunade's disciple and the Hokage's grand-disciple, hereby swear that I will remember the Will of Fire and become its promoter, inheritor, and practitioner."

"Fulfill your ninja duties, carry out Konoha's decisions, and strictly abide by Konoha's discipline."

"Strive for excellence, scale new heights, and become pillars of society that benefit Konoha and the ninja world!"

As the speech drew to a close, Baiyun Qingye's tone gradually rose.

Looking at the teachers, students, and parents below who were gradually being motivated by his inspirational speech, he raised his fist.

"I will study for the resurgence of Konoha!"

The words were spoken.

clap clap clap!

A round of enthusiastic applause immediately erupted!

All the children's sleepy expressions vanished, their faces flushed, and their expressions became excited.

Shouting loudly.

Seeing the excited looks on the children's faces, Bai Yunqingye also smiled.

It seems he has quite a talent for public speaking.

After the speech, Baiyun Qingye walked towards the rest area next to her.

From a great distance, he could see Hiruzen Sarutobi's mouth stretched almost to his ears in a wide grin.

"Qingye, your speech was even more brilliant than I had imagined."

Hiruzen Sarutobi patted Aoba Shirakumo on the shoulder; he was genuinely happy.

Study for the resurgence of Konoha.

This is the true inheritor of the Will of Fire.

Talented, thoughtful, cultured, and disciplined—that's exactly the kind of pillar of society Konoha lacks!

Today's speech should inspire more people to contribute to the future of Konoha.

After Shirokumo Aoba stepped down from the podium, Sarutobi Hiruzen went up to him.

Looking at the children below who were still excited, and having heard such a wonderful speech, he couldn't stop wanting to tell the story.

"Qingye's speech was excellent; even this old man couldn't help but get excited. Now, let me say a few more words..."

……

An hour later.

"Where leaves dance, fire will never cease; the flames will illuminate the village and cause new leaves to sprout—this is the Will of Fire!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's speech has finally come to an end, and today's opening ceremony speech has come to a successful close.

Looking at those little hands that were swollen from clapping and their eyes filled with tears, it was clear that they were moved by the "sun-like" radiance.

After the lecture, the returning students began their classes, and the new students were divided into classes.

As expected, Baiyun Qingye and the others were all assigned to the same class.

Apart from Neji Hyuga and Rock Lee, who enrolled a year earlier, the remaining members of the Konoha Twelve were all gathered in this class.

This is truly the princeling class.

"Come on, come on, let's sit here together!"

"Aoba-kun, may we sit here?"

"No!" ×4

"Going to school is such a hassle..."

A boy with a pineapple-shaped haircut walked into the classroom, looking very unmotivated.

After scanning the classroom, he led a chubby little boy to the last row.

But when they arrived, they suddenly realized that there were already people there.

"Huh? Shino, when did you get here?"

Shikamaru was somewhat surprised; even though he was used to it, he was still taken aback.

Shino adjusted his sunglasses. "I was the first one here."

"..."

"Okay, you don't mind if we sit here, do you?"

Shino didn't say anything, but silently moved a few places further inside.

Shikamaru and Choji sat down.

Choji immediately pulled a bag of potato chips out of his bag. "Shikamaru, I just saw Ino. Should we go say hello?"

Shikamaru lay sprawled on the table, seemingly still half asleep. "Never mind, she's probably glued to that troublesome guy, Shirakumo Aoba, right now."

"Shirokumo Aoba... that speech was really amazing. Ino... the girl with white eyes, the girl with pink hair, and the girl with a bun... so many girls were sitting next to him."

Choji's eyes widened. "Naruto Uzumaki and a black-haired boy are sitting there too!"

Shikamaru looked up and glanced at the two boys.

"This is really troublesome."

Shikamaru didn't even dare to imagine that if he were surrounded by so many people, he would probably feel suffocated.

Baiyun Qingye is indeed finding things quite troublesome now.

It seems that because of his speech this morning, coupled with his sunny and handsome appearance, he is now very popular in the class, especially among the girls.

Everyone wanted to sit next to him.

Tenten, Ino, Sakura, and Hinata simply exchanged glances and understood each other's meaning.

They formed an unbreakable alliance.

On the matter of uniting against external forces, they have always been in complete agreement.

Four people are already enough, we can't add any more!

After a brief exchange of glances, Hinata and Sakura sat down somewhat aggrievedly in front of Shirakumo Aoba, while Tenten and Ino sat on either side.

Naruto and Sasuke sat together behind Shirokumo Aoba.

Many people originally wanted to sit with Sasuke, but Naruto had an aura that kept strangers at bay.

"Why not? What right do you have to stop us from sitting next to Aoba-kun?"

"Yeah, do you live by the sea? Why are you being so nosy?"
