Chapter 3 003 The Boring Will of Fire

Chapter 3 003. The boring will of fire

Early next morning.

After a simple wash, Naruto was just about to go shopping in the street when he remembered that he was banned by the third generation yesterday. He returned to the room with a disappointed look on his face, looking at the snow on the street, doing morning exercises and passing the time.

Due to his age, Naruto's morning exercises were just simple stretching exercises and did not involve high-intensity training.

Firstly, he is currently too young, and secondly, he does not have any effective physical training methods. Doing random exercises will only delay his future physical development.

I don't know how much time passed, but Naruto heard the sound of stones hitting the door. When he opened the door, he saw several more boxes in the corridor.

Recalling what the third generation old man said yesterday, these should be the 'reading books' he asked the Anbu to send him and the survival materials he needed during the confinement period.

After moving all the cardboard boxes into the house for storage, Naruto opened the cardboard boxes filled with books with great anticipation.

There were about ten books inside. Naruto glanced at the cover, which had names like "Geography of the Ninja World", "History of Konoha", "Will of Fire" and so on.

Naruto simply ignored "The Will of Fire" and "History of Konoha" and picked up the "Geography of the Ninja World" next to it.

He knew enough about the plot of Naruto, but he knew nothing about the human geography, customs and customs of the ninja world. These books could just make up for his shortcomings in this area.

"The Geography of the Ninja World" has a very small number of words. It took Naruto one hour to read it all, and he also had a general understanding of the geography of the Ninja World.

The geography of the ninja world felt very strange to him, completely contrary to the geographical knowledge he had learned in his previous life.

The Kingdom of Rain, where it rains all year round, and the dry Country of Wind are obviously at the same latitude, but the amount of precipitation is very different. This may have something to do with chakra. After all, it is a world with extraordinary power.

After complaining, Naruto picked up "History of Konoha" with a mysterious smile on his face. He was confident that he knew the history of Konoha better than the third generation old man.

After reading a few pages, Naruto was slightly stunned. "History of Konoha" had also been cut too far.

The evaluation of Senju is fairly objective, but it exaggerates the importance of Sarutobi, Shimura, and the Inokacho family during the founding period of the village, belittles the role of Uchiha, and deliberately reduces the length of Uchiha's achievements...

Unable to complain, Naruto put "History of Konoha" aside and focused on "The Will of Fire".

Although he was not very familiar with "The Will of Fire", he still opened the book called "The Will of Fire". After all, the third generation old man had sent so many books just for him to read this book.

If you don't read it yourself, what will happen if three generations of old men don't give you books to relieve their fatigue?

…

Hokage's office.

After handling the government affairs, the Third Hokage took out the crystal ball and switched the screen to Naruto's room.

Then, the Third Hokage slowly lit the tobacco and watched Naruto in the picture reading the book he sent. After seeing Naruto pick up "The Will of Fire", he smiled happily.

Caring about the Jinchuuriki and preventing them from making mistakes is also one of his daily tasks as Hokage.

Although I don't know who spread the rumor that Naruto is a demon fox, it has definitely had a negative impact on Naruto and greatly reduced the stability of the jinchuriki.

But as long as the Will of Fire is there, Naruto will be able to get back on track and become a useful ninja to the village.

At this time, a dark shadow passed by, and the ANBU in charge of the investigation half-knelt in front of the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage put away the crystal ball, looked at the ANBU and asked: "How is things going? Have you found out who spread the rumors about the demon fox?"

The ANBU hesitated to speak, seeming to be worried: "Third Generation Sir..."

The third generation glanced at the ANBU: "But it doesn't matter."

The ANBU spoke up and said: "According to the investigation by my subordinates, in addition to spies outside the village, there are also people inside the village who spread the rumors of the demon fox, and even other high-level officials of the village are involved..."

Hearing this, the Third Hokage narrowed his eyes slightly and stretched out his hand to indicate that the ANBU did not need to continue talking.

Who else could be the top person in the village who could spread rumors besides his old friend Danzo?

After returning to the position of Hokage, he had given the Root Organization enough power, but Danzo still extended his claws to Naruto, trying to influence Naruto.

This has completely exceeded my tolerance limit, and it's time to take action.

At this time, the Anbu who was kneeling on the ground asked cautiously: "Sandaime-sama, do you think it's time to clarify the rumors about the demon fox?"

The Third Hokage took a deep look at the ANBU, shook his head and said, "Let nature take its course for the time being. Clearing up the rumors at this time will actually confirm the identity of Naruto's Jinchuuriki."

"Yes, Third Generation-sama."

The Third Hokage took out the crystal ball again and fell into deep thought while looking at the scene of Naruto reading. Logically speaking, he should immediately order the clarification of the rumors about the demon fox.

But before making a decision, he hesitated. Maintaining the status quo was the best choice for him as Hokage.

Only by enduring enough suffering and loneliness will his image in Naruto's eyes become taller.

However, it's not good for Naruto to be alone like this all the time, and he doesn't have much time to accompany him. Maybe he should take the initiative to find some friends for Naruto.

Thinking of this, the Third Hokage said to the ANBU: "Ask the Nara clan leader to come to the Hokage Building. I have something to discuss with him."

…

In Naruto's room.

It took Naruto most of a day to read all of "The Will of Fire".

To be honest, Naruto doesn't have much ill will towards the content of "The Will of Fire", and certainly doesn't have much favorable impression.

There is only one sentence at the core of the Will of Fire: Wherever the flames and leaves dance, the fire will continue to grow. The fire will continue to illuminate the village and cause new leaves to sprout.

The general meaning is as follows:

Young people are the hope of the future, and the older generation must trust and protect them. The sacrifices of the older generation are not meaningless, but will inspire young people to become the pillars of the future.

This sentence is more like a slogan to unite people's hearts and does not have much practical meaning.

During the first and second generations, their behavior itself represented the will of fire, while the third generation could only use the will of fire to win over people's hearts and maintain the Konoha Ninja Alliance from collapse.

Naruto didn't know how many people in the village were willing to believe in the will of fire and possess the will of fire.

But there are definitely more people who shout slogans than people who actually practice them, and even more people use this slogan to seek personal gain for themselves.

Naruto would not become a supporter of the Will of Fire, but he would not be stupid enough to openly oppose this slogan.

After all, this slogan is not wrong, it is the ridiculous people who are wrong.

After figuring this out, Naruto felt a little bored and threw "The Will of Fire" aside, lying on the sofa and taking a nap.

Today is just the first day of the lockdown, and I don’t know how many more days it will last.

But it didn't matter to him. He had food, clothing, and all kinds of books to relieve his fatigue.

However, just as Naruto was soundly asleep, a trace of fiery red chakra escaped from the four elephant seals on his belly.
