Chapter 42: The Will of Fire
"I've already discussed this matter with my eldest brother, so there's no need to worry." Kazuma got up from his seat and turned to the window, overlooking a thriving Konoha tree.
Xue Hui faced the meaning of the frank refusal to reveal the door, lowered his head and stopped in place for a while, but the door did not move, still looking out the window, not knowing what he was thinking.
"If you say, teacher, I mean if it's possible." Xue Hui struggled for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to speak.
"Can you let some of the Thousand Hands people move to Vortex Village?"
After hearing Xue Hui's words, he turned his gaze back, looked at Xue Hui with straight eyes, and did not speak immediately.
"That's what I mean. Instead of letting Senju disappear in Konoha, it is better to let Senju pass it on in the country of Vortex. Xue Hui hurriedly explained, cold sweat had already begun to leave on his face.
"You've guessed what my big brother and I think." This time, he didn't use a questioning tone, but said affirmatively.
"Let Senju give up the name of Senju and completely merge with Konoha so that when Senju of the teacher's generation dies, the sequelae of these reforms will also be resolved. That's what you're going to do, teacher, right? ”
Now that the words have been spoken, Xue Hui simply made the words clear.
Kazuma slowly walked over to Hokage's place and sat down, taking a sip of water, as if savoring something.
"The Land of the Vortex...... Xue Hui, remember that this is a fusion and not a disappearance. There's nothing for you to do here, step down. The abrupt order to evict the guests caught Xue Hui off guard.
"By the way, is the work I told you to arrange done?" Xue Hui suddenly stopped him.
"Huh? What? Oh! It's done, teacher, as you commanded. Xue Hui couldn't turn around for a while, and replied subconsciously.
Hearing this, he waved his hand.
Stunned, Yukiki was invited out of the Hokage's door.
"Aren't you in too much of a hurry?" Xue Hui scratched his head, and he regretted his whim just now.
"No matter what, it's all said, at least a seed has been planted in the teacher's heart, and it has also expressed the attitude of our vortex country, and the rest depends on the destiny of heaven." Xue Hui looked up at the clouds in the sky and thought with relief.
That night, while Yukiki was still anxiously accompanying Tsunade who was making trouble everywhere, Kazuma withdrew all the shadows and communicated privately with Tsuruma, and it wasn't long before Mito and Momoka joined the secret discussion.
The next day, several people looked as usual, as if nothing had happened yesterday.
Half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and Xue Hui has just come to Konoha from the country of vortex, and before he can say hello to Tsunade, who is already learning to speak, he was called away by a dark part of Konoha at the gate of Konoha in front of the eyes of the members of the Uchiha garrison.
In trust of the teacher, Xue Hui silently followed behind the dark department all the way, letting the other party lead the way.
As she walked, she found herself farther and farther away from Konoha and Xue Hui gradually felt a little weird, not that she felt that there was any danger waiting ahead, but-
"In this direction, End Valley? Or the Temple of Fire? Xue Hui roughly estimated his position and thought to himself.
This question didn't bother Xue Hui for long, and he found out that the end of the valley was full of acquaintances.
At this time, the Valley of the End, in order to commemorate the two great battles that took place here, has sent stonemasons to carve the statues of Senju Tsuruma and Madara Uchiha, although it is not yet completed, but it is also carved seven, seven, eighty, eight, eight, two, the momentum of the ninja world that makes the ninja world tremble has been reflected from the statue. Today, the craftsmen who appear here every day have been notified to stop work for a day, and the dark areas around the end of the valley have already been arranged.
When Xue Hui arrived, Tsuruma calmly sat cross-legged on the head of his statue, looking at the statue of Madara Uchiha opposite, he remembered his life, training and growing up with his younger brothers since he was a child, to the battle with Uchiha that made him lose all his younger brothers except for Kazuma, and then met Madara Uchiha who suffered the same thing, and the two took over the indissoluble bond, both rivals and friends, to becoming the patriarch, and Madara established the current Konoha together, and finally learned about Madara's life in this Valley of the End.
"Madara, our dreams, are they accomplished, or are they not accomplished?" Rarely, the pillars also showed a confused look.
The Sarutobi Six, who was standing on the shoulder armor of the statue below, and the one standing alone in the rocks raised in the waterfall and receiving the splash of the waterfall, did not hear the pillar's self-talk, but just looked at the ninja god silently.
"But, I can proudly say that I at least ended the war and created an era of peace, and you lost, Madara!"
Without warning, one of the pillars pointed to the statue on the opposite side and laughed loudly.
Xue Hui took advantage of this time to step on the waterfall all the way and came to the side of the door.
"Old ......" was just about to speak, the fingers that were crossed in front of his chest and put on his arm shook up and down, Xue Hui immediately shut up, and the scholar's teacher's movements, looking up at the pillars through the flying mist of the waterfall.
"Xue Hui." Unexpectedly, the door opened his mouth to break the quiet atmosphere.
"Teacher, please speak." Xue Hui replied respectfully.
"Big brother divides the tailed beast, I can feel it, you are a little dissatisfied in your heart!"
"Why did you talk about it all of a sudden?"
"I actually understand the negative effects that this incident may have in the future, especially the danger that the Uzumaki clan will face if the information is leaked."
"It seems that the teacher understands very clearly, indeed, I, or the Vortex family, do disagree with this matter. But—"
The problem of the Uzumaki Clan is not just the tailed beast, and the future it should face will not change because of this. In the end, my own strength is the most important thing, which is why I desperately wanted to become a disciple of the teacher. ”
"I see, but I'm still very glad to have a disciple like you. In the meantime, Xuehui, please remember—"
"—As long as I'm in front of me for a day, I'll never let the maelstrom fall into any danger!"
"Mr. Kazuma'......"
Xue Hui looked at the serious face, and didn't know what to say for a while.
Zhuma also noticed Xuehui's arrival at this time, and seeing that everyone had already arrived, he first beckoned to the six people behind him, signaling a few people to come closer.
"Lord Pillar......" Ape Fei Ri was in a complicated mood now, and shouted with difficulty.
"I spent the first half of my life learning how precious peace is, and then I spent the second half of my life trying my best to achieve peace." Pillar did not change his posture facing the statue of Madara Uchiha, and said with his back to Sarutobi.
"But peace is not just a slogan, it needs to be maintained, and for this reason, Madara and I established the village of Konoha."
"The original intention of Konoha was to keep the peace in the Land of Fire, so that children would not be involved in cruel wars, and the next generation could grow up in peace."
"At the same time, we want to make sure that there are no barriers between the clans in the village, and we want to work together for the sake of the village. Everyone in every clan should not be limited to sacrificing for the interests of the clan, but should focus on the overall situation and contribute to the village. Protect the compatriots in the village, the people in the village are all a family, and there will be no hierarchy between people because of the excellent and ordinary people. ”
"Gradually reduce people's obsession with the family, and instead gain a sense of belonging to Konoha."
Pillar stretched out his hand and grabbed a flying leaf, looked at the hole in the leaf, and said slowly:
"You know what? The name Konoha is still spotted, and where the leaves fly, the fire is endless. The fire will continue to illuminate the village and allow the new leaves to sprout. ”
"This is the will of fire, and you have to remember it, fight for it, and pass it on to the next generation."
"Hichi, Tuanzang, Mirror, Wind, Yan, Koharu, the future of Konoha will be handed over to you to protect!"
