Hanabi didn't care at all, and she skillfully put her little face close to Wuye's cheek and rubbed it before saying, "It was that idiot Naruto! He was just playing a prank, and then I don't know how he got into a fight with an Uchiha guy..."

"Uchiha..."

Wu Ye curled the corner of his mouth, feeling that he was about to see the opening drama of a love-hate relationship.

Sure enough, when the group walked to the front door, they saw a little boy in Uchiha clothing riding on Uzumaki Naruto in an orange coat.

"Hokage-sama is here!"

"Lord Hokage!"

"..."

Parents who were sending their children to school respectfully made way.

Wuye put Hanabi and Hinata down, walked into the crowd, then pulled Naruto and Sasuke up by the back of their collars respectively.

"Are you done fighting? Then make the seal of reconciliation." He said with a smile.

As soon as he put them both down, Naruto rushed forward again with his fangs bared: "I haven't lost yet--"

Wu Ye took a few steps back.

Sure enough, three minutes later Naruto was ridden by Sasuke again.

The two men glared at each other.

"Sasuke-kun is so handsome—"

A little girl screamed nearby.

Wu Ye looked back and saw the infatuated Karin as expected.

"Asshole! You are my sister!" Naruto shouted while lying on the ground.

In the end, Karin kept covering her face and screaming, "So handsome, so handsome, so handsome!"

Many girls who came to school also made the same exclamation.

Hinata and Hanabi, who were standing in front of the crowd, looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

'Hanabi, is he handsome?'

The two began to communicate telepathically.

"I don't think so. What do you think?"

"I don't think so either. He's not as handsome as my uncle..."

"Yes, yes, I also think uncle is the most handsome!"

……

Chapter 400 I will carry the burden for you

"Itachi."

Outside the crowd, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi stood side by side on a tree, looking at the situation inside from afar.

"You didn't tell Sasuke about Patriarch Fugaku?" Shisui whispered.

Itachi Uchiha's twelve-year-old face was full of dullness and numbness.

He nodded: "Yes, and I didn't let my mother and the tribesmen tell him. I hope he will never know."

Shisui frowned, "Why do you do that?"

Uchiha Itachi was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Sasuke has shown his attachment to his mother and me since he was young. He is a child who values ​​feelings very much. I don't want him to develop hatred because of his father's affairs. That would make him become twisted."

Shisui was silent for a while, then said, "Itachi, it's hard to keep that secret from him. Too many people know the truth, and objectively speaking, it's Patriarch Fugaku's own fault. I think you should tell Sasuke, and then guide him to understand the cause and effect of the whole incident, so that he can let go of his hatred."

Uchiha Itachi's gaze left Sasuke and turned his head to look at him, his face indifferent: "Shisui, do you know what kind of psychological torture I have suffered over the years? I have suppressed the hatred in my heart time and time again, told myself what is right time and time again, and made myself put the overall situation first and think about the village time and time again..."

"I'm sorry, Itachi," Shisui was stunned, then said in a low voice, "The Fourth Hokage said that the pain between people is not the same. I can't fully understand your pain, so I just stand outside and talk nonsense..."

Uchiha Itachi shook his head: "You are my only friend, I know you will support me no matter what."

"What about the spring?"

Shisui suddenly bumped his shoulder and smiled softly: "Don't always look so bitter and resentful. You should have your own life occasionally..."

"No, Shisui..."

Uchiha Itachi shook his head: "I don't know if you have noticed that the emotions of the ninjas in the clan have become increasingly agitated in the past two years, as if someone has been instigating them from behind..."

He frowned, "Shisui, you are the strongest in the clan now, but you have no direct bloodline, and I am not old enough, so I cannot get the position of clan leader. The clan is now completely controlled by the warmongers, and the situation is becoming more and more dangerous."

"So I... don't have time to live my own life..."

He raised his head and looked at Sasuke again: "I hope Sasuke can live the life I couldn't in the future."

"Don't worry, there will always be a way," Shisui patted his shoulder, "The Yondaime is not a leader who can't tolerate Uchiha. As long as the clan members don't do anything stupid, nothing will go wrong."

"hope so."

Uchiha Itachi's gaze shifted to Hinata Muye's back, his eyes looked complicated...

It took about an hour for all the new students to complete registration.

"Everyone line up and follow the teacher to the auditorium to attend the opening ceremony!"

Wuye saw Iruka among the teachers.

It feels really good to see such a familiar character appear in front of me.

It can be seen that Iruka lived a good life. His parents did not die in the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and he did not have the iconic scar on his face. He looked a lot more handsome.

"Uzumaki Naruto! Don't run around without permission!"

On the first day of school, Iruka and Naruto made eye contact, causing Wuye to smile and shake his head.

Even if the circumstances of many bonds change, they will still come together in the end because of their natural compatibility in personality.

Whether it's Naruto and Sasuke, or Naruto and Iruka...

Well, let’s reorganize Team 7 in a few years, maybe there will be a chemical reaction.

But Hinata is gone, maybe Sakura will be allocated to Naruto.

But that would mean Sakura wouldn't be able to be in Team 7. Some adjustments would be needed to prevent her from chasing after Sasuke again.

Anyway, she is just a small member of the team, so it’s okay to replace her with Karin, it’s not a big problem...

Wu Ye was thinking about all sorts of random things until cheers were heard from the auditorium.

"Let us welcome the Hokage--"

The scene at the moment can be perfectly described as cheering by the masses.

Although the children did not fully understand the status of the Yondaime in the ninja world, since the ceremony was attended by their parents, their support and admiration also infected the children.

If you count, Wu Ye has been in power for many years, and the entire Konoha has long been under his control.

Whether it was Uchiha's unusual movements or Danzo's secretive actions, they were now clearly visible to him and nothing could be hidden from him.

The rapid development of Konoha has masked all contradictions. In recent years, the number of registered ninjas has increased by nearly 30%, not to mention the improvement in living standards.

In addition, the people of the entire Fire Country live and work in peace and contentment. When they have nothing to do, they can travel to the Rain Country without worrying about encountering rebellious ninjas or bandits. Their life happiness index is much higher than before.

So, except for the children who were born in recent years, everyone else can clearly feel how wonderful life is now, and all the cherishment and gratitude are directed to Wuye, the fourth generation.

If Konoha wins a few more successful battles and completely suppresses the ninja world, then his reputation will completely surpass that of the first Hokage and he will become the god-like existence of Konoha ninjas.

"Hello everyone."

Wu Ye walked onto the stage with his hands in his pockets, and the breeze blew up the hem of his flaming robe.

As soon as the voice spread, thousands of people in the venue fell silent in an instant, and even a pin drop could be heard throughout the venue.

"What kind of prestige is this..."

In the parents' seats, Uchiha Itachi silently looked at the brilliant figure on the stage with a gloomy expression.

"It was me who proposed to change the name of Konoha School, and it was also my reform that the children started school a year earlier..."

Before he finished speaking, Naruto in the audience took the lead in booing.

However, no one followed him because the other children were dissuaded by their parents, and he could only be pushed back by Karin.

"The original intention of enrolling a year earlier," Wuye smiled and looked at the heads in the audience, "is to erase the idea that you can only choose to be a ninja."

He met the gazes of all the children and said in a gentle voice: "I know not everyone likes to be a ninja. Some may like to do handicrafts, some may like to open a small shop, some may like to grow crops, and some may like to make kunai shuriken and the like..."

The children couldn't help but listen carefully, because these were words their parents rarely said on weekdays.

These ninjas who have lived through the war years will subconsciously ask the next generation to practice hard and become a powerful ninja.

"It doesn't matter. In the next year of study, you can choose any course you are interested in. After a year, you can take the basic ninja test and decide whether you want to follow the path of ninja..."

Wu Ye smiled softly: "And don't be afraid of making the wrong choice. You don't have to graduate from school to join any profession, including ninjas. Even if you don't want to continue as a ninja halfway through, or want to become a ninja halfway, the village will give you this opportunity..."

“I don’t have much to say, but I hope you’ll remember these few words.”

He walked slowly down the stage, leaving everyone with a warm silhouette.

"Perhaps your parents are worried that if you don't become ninjas, there will be no one to protect the village and keep the peace..."

"But don't worry..."

"because…"

He stopped and looked back: "I will carry the burden for you."

The doorway was backlit, making him feel as if he were bathed in light.

"Enjoy your free life..."

"Children..."

Chapter 401 Bai: I want to follow you!

"Crash..."

There was no cheering or applause, but many children and parents stood up spontaneously and watched Wu Ye walk out.

Many concepts cannot be changed at once, but Wu Ye let everyone see his determination.

In particular, he said that he would shoulder the burden for everyone and let the children enjoy life, which really touched many people.

"Hokage…sir!"

Not long after Wu Ye walked out of the venue, a little boy who looked like a little girl suddenly ran up to him.

His title of "Sir" is also very recognizable.

"white?"

Wu Ye stopped.

"Ah... Mr. Hokage still remembers me!"

Bai clasped his hands in front of his chest, looking shy like a girl.

"Have you been living well in Konoha these past two years?"

Wu Ye squatted down in front of her...him.

"Good...very good..."

Bai mustered up the courage to look him in the eye and said, "Mr. Zabuza is also very happy in Konoha. He said he never thought he could just do missions, but he didn't expect to live so comfortably."

"That's good," Wuye touched his head, "Will anyone in the village reject you?"

Bai hesitated for a moment and said, "Sometimes, it happens, but because you asked the immigrants to Konoha to live separately, other than the surrounding residents, no one knows that we are outsiders, so no one shows rejection."

Wu Ye nodded secretly, feeling quite satisfied.

"Then live a good life in Konoha. If you like being a ninja, then be it. If you don't like it, then do whatever you want." He reached out and touched Bai's head, "Stop thinking about being a tool."

Bai looked at him confusedly, not understanding the meaning of "tool man" for a moment.

Wu Ye stood up and waved: "Goodbye, Bai."

“Wait a minute…”
