As he spoke, two lines of blood and tears left his eyes, and his voice turned into sobbing.

The three-magatama Sharingan in his eyes rotated and condensed, eventually forming a shape similar to a shuriken.

"Mangekyo Sharingan, hahahaha, I didn't expect that I would open the Mangekyō before I died."

The old man's voice sounded a little crazy, and for a moment it was hard to tell whether he was happy or sad. Fortunately, this was the edge of the clan's land, and only his lineage lived here.

"It seems that it is not time for me to die yet!"

The old man turned his head and looked at his grandson who was lying like a skeleton on the bed in the room, flames of hatred burning in his eyes!

"I'll make you all pay!"

……

One day later.

Early in the morning, Tofu, Chiri, Sarutobi Hiruzen and others gathered above the Hokage Yanyan.

This is already the third day since Tofu and his companions returned to the village after completing their mission, and the task assigned to them by Hashirama has finally come to an end.

Although everyone still had some lack of confidence on their faces, they no longer had the panic and helplessness they had before.

Just when Hiruzen wanted to ask his other companions about the Will of Fire, Tobirama used the Flying Thunder God Technique to bring Hashirama in front of everyone.

"Good morning, kids! Hahaha."

Seeing that the Hokage was in a good mood today, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

If the Hokage is in a bad mood, they are afraid that if any of their words offend the Hokage, they might get beaten!

Tobirama's face was normal, and it was hard to tell what his mood was: "You should know what day it is today, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up straight and responded in unison.

"Then I hope your answers today will not disappoint us."

Although Tobirama said this, he just wanted to put some pressure on them. These children have been practicing with him since they were young.

In fact, Tobirama could guess roughly what each child would say.

And since he and his eldest brother teach the disciples together, there must be someone to play the bad guy, otherwise the children will be out of control if they have no one to fear.

"Monkey, you go first!"

Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen still wanted to hide backwards, Tobirama was the first to point him out.

Hiruzen felt like crying but had no tears at this point, but he had no choice but to go ahead and tell it.

"My will of fire is to protect."

Hashirama's lips curled up slightly when he heard that, but he hid it well and it wasn't noticed.

"What is protection?" Tobirama asked.

"Because I love the village and everyone in it. Every time I come back from a mission and see the smiling faces of the people, I feel full of energy."

"So I want to protect the village and everyone in it!"

Tobirama nodded. Although Hiruzen's Will of Fire was somewhat similar to his elder brother's, he knew that Hiruzen did not say this on purpose to please anyone. This was his will.

“I hope you will always remember what I said today in the future!”

"Next, Danzo."

Danzo, who was named, came out. Although he had his own Will of Fire, he didn't know if saying this would anger the two adults.

"My will of fire is to suppress."

Upon hearing this word, Hashirama and Tobirama were both stunned, and then Danzo continued.

"The so-called suppression means improving the overall strength of the village. Through strong strength, other villages will surrender and not dare to think of becoming our enemy."

After Danzo's explanation, the two brothers were silent for a long time, which made Danzo even more uncertain and nervous.

But Hashirama and Tobirama just thought that Danzo's idea was a bit too harsh, but this starting point could also be said to be correct.

Because this is the situation in the ninja world now.

Because of Hashirama, Konoha occupies an absolute position among the five major ninja villages. No one dares to stick out their fangs to Konoha! All this is because of Hashirama's strength.

"Duanzo, although your idea is good, there must be a line, and this line is not to hurt everyone in the village! Understand!"

Tobirama's tone was serious, with a hint of warning in it.

Upon hearing this, Danzo bowed deeply and said, "I understand, Master," and then retreated back to the team.

Afterwards, Koharu, Kado En, Akimichi Tofu, and Uchiha Kagami all recounted their own Will of Fire. Although there were slight flaws, they all passed successfully.

However, Hashirama asked them to think about it carefully and improve it after they returned.

"It's your turn to take the wind from the clouds."

Chapter 39 Dead Branches and Young Buds

"It's your turn to take the wind from the clouds."

Qufeng let out a light breath and walked forward. He was still a little confused when he saw Hiruzen and the others looking frightened when they were talking about the Will of Fire.

But when he actually stood in front of the two guardian gods of Konoha Village and prepared to expound his will of fire, he felt a little nervous.

"Don't be nervous, Feng, tell me what your own Will of Fire is like."

Hashirama said with a hint of comfort that he had always been very fond of this disciple of his.

From the first time we met, the child showed a strong love for the village.

Since then, Hashirama has been observing the situation consciously or unconsciously.

And Qufeng did not disappoint Hashirama's expectations. As soon as he entered the Ninja Academy, he showed his extremely high talent in ninjutsu. And Qufeng could always easily resolve disputes among classmates.

He has his own unique insights into the relationship between major families and villages.

The more he thought about it, the more Hashirama looked forward to seeing what Tofu would say.

"Wherever the leaves dance, the fire grows."

Everyone looked at Qu Feng with a hint of confusion. The Hokage had clearly said that everyone should realize their own will of fire, but Qu Feng was...

"The withered leaves will turn into nutrients to nourish the tender buds of early spring."

Everyone looked at Tofu with confusion, while Hashirama and Tobirama had relief in their eyes.

Young people may not understand the meaning of the wind's words, but they understand because they are the dead branches that are about to turn into nutrients.

"Why do you say that?" Hashirama asked deliberately.

Qufeng walked forward a few steps and stood on the Hokage Face Rock, overlooking the entire Konoha Village.

Then he turned around again, the wind from the top of the mountain ruffled his snow-white hair, but could not extinguish the fiery will in his heart.

"I am the teacher's disciple. I have the obligation to inherit the master's will, but I also have my own will of fire!"

"Konoha Village is a tree that is growing vigorously. We are the tender new shoots, while Master, Master Tobirama, and the elders are the branches that protect us from wind and rain."

“But one day, the branches will dry up, rot and eventually wither, but they will become nutrients to nourish the buds.”

"In the future, we will become branches, protecting our offspring from wind and rain. One day, we will wither and become nutrients."

"But as long as I can see the young shoots I have been protecting grow stronger, I will not be afraid even if they wither."

"Everyone will grow old, and the times will keep changing like a torrent, but Konoha will continue to prosper."

After the will of the wind was spoken, I don't know who started it, but everyone started clapping.

From everyone's eyes, Qu Feng could tell that the applause was from the heart, not ridicule or anything.

The one who worked the hardest among them was Zhili. Looking at Fu Feng who was full of confidence in front of the Hokage Yan Yan just now, Zhili couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart.

It's like saying, look, this guy is my best friend Uchiha Jiri! Look how good he is!

Sarutobi Hiruzen and others also looked at Qufeng with admiration again. At the beginning, they were somewhat jealous of Qufeng, wondering why he was appreciated by the first generation and was directly accepted as a disciple.

And now they really admire Qu Feng from the bottom of their hearts.

Looking at the young man on Yanyan who was talking confidently and full of high spirits, Hashirama couldn't help but recall that when he was young, he and Madara had imagined their future here.

At that time, the two had agreed to build a village of their own at the foot of the cliff. Now the village is on the right track and is prospering, but the old friend is nowhere to be found.

Hashirama walked up to Tofu and touched Tofu's head with his hand.

"You are worthy of being my disciple, Hashirama Senju! Takefu, you will definitely become a great ninja in the future!"

Hashirama praised Toukou generously, because he knew that even if he was gone one day in the future, the village would still prosper.

Hashirama seldom told Kabuki about his will of fire, nor did he require him to inherit his will.

But this boy, who is only six years old, has inherited his will and understood his will!

What a genius!

Qufeng was very happy about Hashirama's praise. His will was recognized by his master. What Qufeng said today came from his heart, not just boasting for the sake of attracting attention.

Because Qufeng has already planned out his future path, to get married at the right age, have a few children, educate them well, and become an elder of Konoha to keep the village on the right track.

It would be very nice to live an ordinary life like this. It would be even better if there were a few little guys you like who you could take as your disciples and leave some descendants to carry on your legacy.

But even if not, Qu Feng won't force it.

"Okay, Qufeng, you go back first. It's Zhili's turn now."

After Tofu bowed to Hashirama, he returned to the team.

Zhili, who was clapping happily, seemed to have forgotten that he was going to go on stage after Qufeng.

Only when she was named did she suddenly react! With the example of Qu Feng, her will would definitely seem mediocre.

It would be terrible if I were criticized by Lord Hashirama for this. You know, Zhili is the only illegal resident now!

The others all have masters, but she is the only one who is training with the Hokage, or she is just benefiting from the power of Qufeng.

Zhili stepped forward timidly and began to talk about his will of fire with a little nervousness.

"My will of fire is integration and unity."

After seeing that no one had any special reaction, Zhili relaxed a little and continued.
