Naruto: The villain template of me is regarded as the savior

"What exactly is the Will of Fire, and why do you want to be Hokage?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled like a kind old man and asked, "If one of you answers correctly, I will let you sit back and listen to the lecture."

Wait a minute, aren't these two questions?

Hearing the inexplicable additional questions, Kushina couldn't help complaining in her heart.

Such a theoretical question requires a standard answer. As a transfer student from outside, it is really difficult for her.

Kushina, who was now known as the "Blood Red Pepper" with her fists, was rarely embarrassed under the kind and gentle gaze of the Third Hokage.

He could only cast a small look at Minato next to him for help, and he couldn't care less about the unpleasantness that happened between the two of them before.

"Ahem!"

Sensing Kushina's eyes, Minato's face turned red inexplicably, and he straightened his back subconsciously.

He cleared his throat and pondered slightly, organized his words before replying: "The Will of Fire, as you and Teacher Fujiki said, is actually a selfless spirit."

"The Will of Fire, where the leaves are flying, the fire will continue to grow. The fire will continue to illuminate the village and make new leaves sprout."

"The meaning of this sentence is to praise the fallen leaves as the older generation. The burning fallen leaves are a metaphor for the heroic sacrifice of the older generation, and the new leaves are a metaphor for the younger generation."

"The younger generation is the hope of the future. The older generation must trust and protect them. The sacrifice of the older generation is not meaningless, but will inspire the young people to become the pillars responsible for the future and hope of Konoha..."

At this point, Minato suddenly paused, hesitated, and looked up at the podium.

"Hmm, why don't you say anything?" The smile on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face became even warmer, and he encouraged, "That's very good. It seems that Minato-san has previewed his homework after school, but it seems that it is only the content in the book. Woolen cloth."

"You are a very smart child. I guess you still have your own ideas, right?"

After he finished speaking, the entire classroom fell into silence, and countless eyes turned to Minato, as if they wanted to see what insights he could say, and they also seemed to want to see the jokes he made.

Of course, more people still want to see Kushina's jokes, especially those brats who have been beaten by her.

Seeing the scene where the third-generation grandfather seemed to be deliberately making things difficult, he felt like someone was backing him up and couldn't help but laugh. He had long forgotten that they were the ones who bullied Kushina in the first place, but she was the one who beat her up in turn because they were not strong enough.

In fact, children's evil is the purest evil, not mixed with any interests.

"Yes, I read the book "History of Konoha and the Will of Fire" after I got home from school yesterday."

Minato took a deep breath, looked at everyone with piercing eyes, and said with admiration in his tone: "Originally, it was just a collection of stories, but after reading it, I felt something."

"The first Hokage was an important promoter of the formation of the Will of Fire. His two younger brothers were sacrificed in brutal wars, and his purpose in establishing Konoha was also to prevent the tragedy from happening again."

"The older generation should protect children, let them grow up in peace, and no longer be involved in cruel wars, let alone die because of wars. This is the original Will of Fire."

As he spoke, Minato suddenly paused, glanced at the classmates in front of him, and changed the subject: "I do have great admiration for the first Hokage, but what I want to say is actually the second Hokage."

"The Second Hokage dismissed the Senju clan. The Senju clan voluntarily gave up their surnames and integrated into Konoha to become the nourishment of this big tree."

"Perhaps you don't know that although the surname Senju has disappeared, there are actually many former Senju clan members around us. I even guess that some of the classmates here may have parents who are Senju clan members."

After that, looking at the surprised classmates who were talking in low voices, Minato showed a bright smile and said in a gentle tone: "Why did the Second Hokage do this?"

"Why?" someone blurted out.

The students in the classroom subconsciously followed the sound to see who was speaking out what was in their hearts.

But he was shocked to find that it was Teacher Fujiki who was sitting in the corner of the last row and looked embarrassed when he realized what he was doing.

"Pfft!" Kushina, who had been pretending to be dead, couldn't help laughing, but she shrank her head after everyone looked over.

I really can't help it, it's really funny.

Teacher Fujiki, who had always been strict, suddenly turned into a well-behaved student, and he even had problems that he didn't understand.

"Ahem."

Sarutobi Hiruzen on the podium coughed a few times. Seeing that everyone's eyes were attracted to him, he looked at the interrupted Minato again and asked with a smile: "So, why? I'm also curious."

Quietly, Teacher Fujishu's embarrassment at this moment was resolved, and the laughter of those children who were about to be unable to suppress was interrupted.

"I think the purpose of the Second Hokage is to innovate on the basis of inheriting the will of fire."

Minato secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, met those eyes that became curious again, and continued: "He hopes that there will be no barriers between clans in Konoha, and they can work together for the future and hope of the village."

"Every member of each tribe must not only sacrifice for the interests of the tribe, but also put the overall situation of the village first. People in the village are one family and protect all compatriots in the village."

Having said this, he looked at the children with bruises on their faces and evasive eyes, and said in a gentle and sincere tone: "There will be no discrimination and oppression between people because of the differences between powerful clans and ordinary civilians."

"Really accept every companion you live with, instead of bullying your companions with prejudice, whether it is surname, identity, gender, background, or..."

“A person’s unique hair color and a dream they are willing to work hard for.”

Hearing this, Kushina suddenly raised her head and looked blankly at the figure in front of her, feeling her heart suddenly touched.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen squinted his eyes and looked at the child who seemed to be glowing, with a hint of appreciation and deep meaning in his eyes.

What an excellent successor to the Will of Fire!

Originally, I just wanted to find a random kid who could bond with Kushina, but I didn't expect Minato to perform so well.

He is from a civilian background, stable and mature, has a sunny personality and is infectious...

Although a little naive and immature, isn't this an advantage?

As for talent and stuff...

Sorry, there is no shortage of secret techniques and forbidden techniques in Konoha. As long as you are not a pure waste, you will definitely be able to find a path that suits you.

"Minato-kun said it very well, very well!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking in his heart, and first praised Minato: "The First Generation and the Second Generation are important promoters of the formation of the Will of Fire."

"But the Will of Fire has been watered and cultivated for decades. It was created by each of us in the long-term struggle. Each of us should become the successor of the Will of Fire."

After that, he looked at the almost dejected child and smiled in a very gentle and kind tone: "Only those who know their mistakes and can correct them are good children with the will of fire. It's not too late now. Do any classmates want to say anything?"

As soon as these words came out, the children with bruises on their faces raised their heads, looked at each other, and finally stood up, looking at Kushina behind Minato with a look of shame on their faces.

"Kushina-san, I'm sorry!" They all bowed and shouted with tears in their eyes: "I shouldn't have bullied you before, please forgive us for our mistakes!"

Seeing those people who bowed and apologized to her, Kushina shrank subconsciously, quietly moved her steps and hid behind Minato, and whispered: "I, I hit you too, and I want to apologize to you too."

"Hahaha."

The children stood up straight and scratched their heads in embarrassment. The others couldn't help but smile when they saw this, and there was a burst of good-natured laughter.

At this moment, the children in the classroom, including Sarutobi Hiruzen, all believed that Minato's explanation of the Will of Fire was correct.

The older generation should protect children so that they can grow up in peace and no longer be involved in cruel wars, let alone die because of wars.

However, no one would have thought that it would not be long before the third-generation grandfather they admired would personally send children under the age of ten to the battlefield. Even Sarutobi Hiruzen himself would not have thought that such a day would come.

If Yumukawa were here, he would definitely laugh out loud.

No, maybe, someone really laughed.

"Kushina, 伱..." Minato turned to look at Kushina behind him, his bent eyes full of tenderness and warmth.

The bright sunshine outside the window shines in, and the atmosphere in the classroom is peaceful and peaceful.

But at this moment, there seemed to be birds passing by outside the window, and shadows were cast on everyone's faces.

Standing on the podium, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who smiled kindly, suddenly felt his heart skip a beat, and the hairs all over his body stood on end at this moment, and he turned his head sharply.

The pupils he looked out the window gradually shrank, reflecting the illusory light and flames of the glass.
