Chapter 20: Fire

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Obito's sudden problem surprised Seiichi a little.

He thought that the most this kid would ask was how to deal with people, or how to fall in love, which was in line with the general values of teenagers.

Obito paused, but still said stiffly: "I'm a man who will become a Hokage in the future, how can I not inherit the will of fire!" ”

Seiichi snorted slightly: "I don't know what the Will of Fire is, but I've already thought about becoming the Hokage?" ”

Obito was choked by Cheng one by one, and turned his head: "If you don't say it, I shouldn't have come to ask you..."

Looks like he was squeezed by similar words in his conversation with Kakashi.

With the temperament of the soil, it is not like the type that will take the initiative to think about this kind of problem.

"I think what the first adults said about the will of fire is inheritance."

Obito turned around: "Inheritance? ”

"Yes." Seiichi looked up and looked his pitch-black vision in the direction of Hokage.

"Flowers will wither and the moon will be lacking, and people will also grow old."

"The first lord knew that he would also be gone, and he should know..."

"Without him as the god of ninjas to suppress the imminent thoughts of this world, the war will come back, and the world he wants to give to those who come after him should be peaceful."

"This is the original reason for the first generation of adults to establish the ninja village in the book."

Obito opened his mouth: "Then he..."

"So he left behind the legacy of the Will of Fire."

Seiichi knew what Obito was trying to say.

At this moment, this seemingly joyful celebration ceremony.

It's a beautiful world for the first agent... The greatest irony.

He, failed.

Just as Obito thought.

"The leaves of the tree will wither and wither from the branches, just as the god of ninja will die one day."

"Therefore, since it is a matter of destiny to wither, it is better to fall and rot into a puddle of mud."

"It's better to burn."

Seiichi's vacant gaze slid down the Hokage Rock.

But that invisible sight made Obito feel a kind of pressure... with excitement.

"Even if the light from the burning of a leaf is short and faint."

"But if there are thousands of leaves in this wood, as long as this flame continues, as long as the will of fire still exists in the world."

"Then, where the leaves fly, the fire grows endlessly."

"And what he hoped for, a better world without war and suffering, will eventually come in this continuous inheritance."

Seiichi patted the somewhat stunned Obito: "How is it?" Did it help you? ”

The Uchiha Obito fell into deep surprise and contemplation.

He didn't expect that he would get such an answer from Makoto when he asked casually without much expectation.

Seiichi didn't deliberately restrain his voice.

There were many people around him who had heard his words, and many of them had cast kind and gentle glances at him at the moment.

In their eyes, this young man, who may have been shattered by the blow, has a flame in his heart.

Blazing and surging.

Yamanaka was equally surprised, because he also knew the identity of the young man in front of him.

He knew about the Uchiha clan... The respect for the first generation of adults is actually extremely limited.

Their greatest respect for the first generation comes from the gap in strength, which is the humility of the ninja god.

It's not... Approval of his will.

And the answer given by this Uchiha boy far exceeded his expectations.

Even deeper than the "sacrifice and dedication" in his understanding.

Compared with his understanding, the words spoken by the young man in front of him not only had the consciousness of sacrifice, but also had a clear goal of fighting and sacrificing for it.

Even he was a little moved by the vision that the boy said.

What surprised him even more was the person who asked the question.

It's another teenager from the Uchiha family.

Haiyi grinned slightly.

Should it be said that it lives up to its name?

These two... It deserves to be an outlier of the famous Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Obito's lips quirmed, as if chewing carefully on the words Seiichi had told him.

"Lost..."

He smiled suddenly.

"I'm convinced this time."

"I'll remember what Seiichi told me... But I still won't give up on my dream of becoming the Hokage! ”

Obito's smile at the moment was also innocent: "After all, I have already made an agreement with Rin, I will definitely become the Hokage!" I'm not going to throw in the towel at this point! ”

His behavior is perfectly in line with Seiichi's impression of him.

But Seiichi chuckled and shook his head, "I don't want to be the Hokage anymore. ”

"Hmm... Well?! ”

The Uchiha Obito's expected answer to the mutual approval and competition between the two did not appear, causing his answer to be cut into two parts.

"Seiichi... Don't say such things, haven't you also inherited the will of fire? How can you be discouraged..."

At this moment, Obito has gradually put Seiichi in his heart, just like Kakashi and Rin and Mizumon-sensei.

Therefore, Seiichi's answer made him some... Saddened.

"Me?"

"Ahh Actually, my words. ”

Seiichi seemed to think for a moment.

"I feel like the first adults are quite naΓ―ve."

"Huh?" Obito was stunned.

Hai Yi on the side was also a little stunned.

"You're not..."

"Ahh That's when you asked me what the First Lord's will of fire was, and it doesn't mean that I approve of his approach. ”

Obito and Hai are breathing together.

"I admit that the vision of the first generation was beautiful and attractive... But to that extent, it is not enough to leave a sentence of the will of fire that is different in everyone's heart. ”

"Stories can be written by others, and wills need to be transmitted through the mouths of others."

"Who can guarantee that the will of fire in his mouth will be similar to everyone else? Not to mention being exactly the same as the first adult. ”

It was at this moment that the three generations stepped onto the podium under the Hokage, and the crowd cheered.

"And if you really want to be exactly like him, it is not necessarily a good thing, and those who remain unchanged will eventually perish in history."

Except for the two who heard Seiichi's words like they were struck by lightning, his somewhat rebellious words were not cared about by anyone else.

"The ancestors and warriors who burned for that beautiful vision, I also feel that they are heroes."

"But when a small cluster grows into a dense forest, a small tree grows into a towering tree."

"By then, will the Konoha still be willing to burn?"

Obito's young mind was hit by a strong impact, and the will of fire that Seiichi had established in his heart was also swayed by Seiichi's words.

And Seiichi's answer to this was indifferent and slightly indifferent.

"No, it won't..."

"The leaves that are afraid to burn and don't want to wither."

"Some of them will turn into branches, some will become trunks, and some of them will even become the tree itself."

"And there are those who even if they have withered and withered, but still do not want to decay, and are afraid of burning..."

"They will even sink into the ground and become voracious nutrient-suckers, roots."

Seiichi smiled and asked, "Obito, do you think everyone will be willing to burn themselves?" ”

Obito was speechless, if everyone was willing to burn themselves...

So why call the burned out a hero?

The answer is self-evident.

Yamanaka Haichi regretted it a little at the moment...

This seemingly kind and alternative Uchiha boy is still Uchiha!

"So I don't want to be the Hokage anymore... Because the shadow is nothing but the darkness under the light of the first flames. ”

"It's a shadow... And how to bring light to everyone? ”

Hai Yi and Obito were stunned again, as if the words spoken by the three generations on the stage no longer had any value worthy of their listening.

"There is a light, a heat, even if it is as small as a firefly, I want to shine my own light in the darkness."

"Don't wait for the torch..."

"Everyone, each different Konoha should have their own light."

Obito opened his mouth wide, and he didn't know how to react.

Hai Yi's heart was also shocked.

"What I want to be is the flame itself."

Seiichi Uchiha, showing his snow-white teeth, smiled brightly and a little crazy.

"This is, my will to fire."
