Chapter 7 The Will of Fire

"Hokage-sama, the people are here."

The Anbu ninja finished speaking and left at the signal of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Greetings, Hokage-sama!"

Uchiha Yufeng lowered his head and saluted the Third Hokage.

"Yufeng, how have you been lately?"

The Third Hokage stood up from his seat, came up to Uchiha Yufeng, and spoke kindly.

"Thank you for your concern, Hokage-sama. I am doing well. Is there anything that made you call me here today?"

The Third Hokage looked at Uchiha Yufeng, feeling that he was much more stable than before, and sighed.

"Yufeng, I know your parents passed away and you are very sad. I see it all. But things have already happened, and we should move on."

“Your parents are both excellent ninjas in the village and heroes of Konoha.

The reason why they work so hard to complete the mission and protect the village is actually to protect you and the countless children like you in the village!"

Uchiha Yufeng sneered in his heart. It seemed that the old man was going to start using this familiar rhetoric again.

The Third Hokage paused.

"Wherever leaves flutter, fire will burn. The shadow of the fire illuminates the village and makes new leaves sprout. The true power of a ninja is revealed when you want to protect the people you cherish!

This is the will of fire that your parents inherited! It is also the original reason why they became ninjas!"

After the Third Hokage sighed, he turned around and looked at Uchiha Yufeng seriously.

"The village will not forget the hero. We discussed this two days ago. For descendants of heroes like you, the village will give you extra subsidies and daily necessities on time every month. Remember not to spend money recklessly and buy more of what you need!"

Uchiha Yufeng looked very excited at this moment, with burning eyes.

"Thank you, Hokage! From tomorrow on, I will study hard and practice well! I will inherit my parents' will and become a ninja who contributes to the village like my father and mother!"

"Good, good!"

The Third Hokage showed relief on his face and patted Uchiha Yufeng on the shoulder.

"Yufeng, you are a good boy! I believe in you!"

"Thank you for your trust, Hokage-sama!"

"By the way, Yufeng, I have sorted out all the things your parents left behind and put them here. I think the things in here can help you understand what the Will of Fire is!"

Parents' relics?

After saying that, the Third Hokage came to the table and handed the small box he had prepared to Uchiha Yufeng.

At the signal of the Third Hokage, Uchiha Yufeng opened the box.

"This is a ninjutsu scroll, this is the ninja tool bag my father used before, and this..."

Uchiha Yufeng was flipping through the box and was about to take out a conspicuous book from the box.

"Yufeng, this is a relic your parents left you, you should go back and take a good look at it!"

Uchiha Yufeng responded and stuffed the contents of the box back.

But I wondered in my heart, what is this Third Hokage doing? Is he just brainwashing me?

Although Uchiha Yufeng didn't understand what the Third Hokage was doing, he knew that if he really wanted to do something, he should be able to find it in the relics.

"Yes, the Third Hokage!"

Just as Uchiha Yufeng was about to leave, the Third Hokage spoke again.

"By the way, how is your brother Shisui doing?"

Shisui?

"As an older brother, you must take on the responsibility of taking care of your younger brother! This is also an important manifestation of the Will of Fire!"

Uchiha Yufeng immediately bowed to the Third Hokage.

"Yes! Hokage-sama, I will take good care of my brother."

Seeing Uchiha Yufeng's statement, the Third Hokage nodded.

"Okay, Yufeng, it's getting late. I'll have someone take you back!"

After the Third Hokage finished speaking, he waved towards Uchiha Yufeng.

Uchiha Yufeng left the Hokage's office.

As soon as he went out, a ninja from the Anbu came up to him.

Uchiha Yufeng remained silent, and the two of them went towards the direction of their family.

Inside the Hokage's office.

"Huruzen, would you consider placing Uchiha Shisui in my roots for cultivation?"

After everything was quiet, a man wrapped in bandages walked out from the shadow of the Hokage's office. Judging from his appearance, he had obviously heard everything that was said in the office.

This man is the leader of the Root, Danzo.

The Third Hokage put the pipe in his hand to his mouth and was silent for a long time before speaking.

"Uchiha Shisui is the descendant of Jing, and I don't want his descendants to enter the dark roots."

"It is precisely because he is Jing's descendant that he should be allowed to come to the Root. Our Root needs such talents!"

Danzo thought about how Uchiha Kagami's Sharingan had saved him from danger many times, and a hint of greed flashed in his eyes.

The Third Hokage frowned.

"Uchiha Shisui is not fit for the Root!"

Danzo sneered at this explanation.

"Huruzen, you are not him, how do you know he is not suitable? Maybe, coming to my Root means he has found an organization."

"No, Uchiha Kagami is the Uchiha with the perfect will of fire, and I believe his descendants are the same!"

The Third Hokage looked at Danzo with cold eyes.

"Danzo, I am the Hokage! You must find your place and call me Hokage-sama from now on!"

"Hmph, Hiruzen, you will regret it!"

Tuan Zang's face turned red with anger. After saying this, he slammed the door and left angrily, leaning on his crutches.

The two of them talked, but did not mention Uchiha Yufeng at all.

After all, in their eyes, Uchiha Yufeng at this time is just a nobody, far less important than Uchiha's new genius Uchiha Shisui.

On the other side, Uchiha Yufeng arrived home under the escort of the Anbu.

Pushing open the door, Uchiha Shisui walked out from the inner room.

"Brother, you are back."

"Come on, go on!"

Seeing the box in Uchiha Yufeng's hand, Uchiha Shisui's eyes were full of curiosity.

"Brother, what is this?"

Uchiha Shisui didn't feel how much stuff was in the box, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing, just my parents' relics!"

There was a hint of seriousness in Uchiha Shisui's eyes.

"Open it and take a look. Take whatever you need."

"Ah? Isn't this..."

Uchiha Shisui was a little at a loss, and before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Uchiha Yufeng.

"open to take a look!"

Seeing that Uchiha Yufeng didn't seem to be joking, Uchiha Shisui obediently opened the box.

"Take these ninjutsu scrolls!"

Uchiha Yufeng glanced at several basic scrolls in the box, picked up one and stuffed it into Uchiha Shisui's arms.

"Brother, I have someone to teach me from the clan leader, so I don't need these."

Uchiha Yufeng shook his head.

"The teachings of the clan leader may not include these basics, so they cannot be ignored."

Hearing this, Uchiha Shisui pondered for a moment and said with a smile.

"Yes, Shisui listens to my brother."

"These ninja tools..."

This time, without waiting for Uchiha Yufeng to speak, Uchiha Shisui shook his head vigorously.

"Brother, the clan leader has all kinds of ninja tools, don't worry!"

Uchiha Yufeng nodded, and after searching the box several times and making sure that nothing was missing, he pulled out the book that had been eye-catching before.

Uchiha Yufeng glanced at it for a moment, and a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes.

This is a history book about Konoha Village, and that's all.

There is quite a lot of private stuff mixed in here.

Uchiha Yufeng sneered in his heart, this must be the plan of the Third Hokage.

To put it simply, this is a book that brainwashes and cultivates the thinking of Hokage.

Uchiha Yufeng looked up and glanced at Uchiha Shisui.

It seems that this book is not for myself, right?

Do you want to give it to Uchiha Shisui through my own hands?

"Brother, what kind of book is this?"

Uchiha Yufeng casually threw the book to Uchiha Shisui.

Uchiha Shisui opened it curiously.

"Si Guoyi!"
