Chapter 42 The Will of Fire, Konoha Supremacy

In the Death Forest of Konoha, a figure kept running in the dense woods.

And behind him, a black shadow loomed, and in the blink of an eye, he could jump from one tree to another.

"So strange..."

Looking at Naruto's running posture, Shisui always felt a little weird.

Because his running posture was not like a ninja, with his body leaning forward, his two arms straight and diagonally floating behind his body with inertia, and his center of gravity pressed on the front feet to exert force.

Instead, he kept swinging his hands on both sides of his body, and his center of gravity was relatively higher.

"Is it because no one taught him? The ninja's running posture obviously exerts more force faster, right?"

Shisui scratched his head in confusion.

However, after observing it all the time, he gradually discovered the advantages of this running posture.

This running posture seems to increase the sense of balance, reduce the weight of the body, and run more naturally and effortlessly.

"By the way, Brother Menma."

At the same time, while running in the woods, Naruto asked in his heart: "Why did you let me write the ideological and political homework and daily practice in that book before?"

"And I can only write the advantages, not the disadvantages."

"Of course, let some guys who like to peek into other people's privacy have a look."

Menma's tone was meaningful, and he smiled: "Let them see how excellent the will of fire they firmly believe in is."

The so-called diary is nothing more than Naruto's ideological and political homework after class, plus some daily training after class.

Who writes a diary?

And who writes their inner thoughts in a diary? What is written can be called inner thoughts?

The title of the ideological and political homework that day was "Appreciation of the Will of Fire".

The central idea roughly expressed is Konoha Supremacy.

Of course, only the advantages of the Will of Fire and Konoha Supremacy were selected for analysis and appreciation.

"Where the leaves dance, the fire will continue to grow. The flames will continue to illuminate the village and allow new leaves to sprout."

"The Will of Fire is the core purpose of Konoha Village and the villagers' responsibility to Konoha Village."

"If you live in a house and the roof leaks, it is your responsibility to repair the roof so that the next generation can live here."

Menma also helped polish it a little.

It probably expressed his admiration for Naruto, his love for Konoha, and his desire for friends.

But the shortcomings of the Will of Fire were discussed face to face by Naruto and Menma in the sealed space.

"Huh?"

Menma seemed to notice something suddenly, and a hint of playfulness appeared on his face: "Naruto, don't take a detour today. I'm going to give you a practical test and surprise check on your learning situation."

"...Oh."

Naruto scratched his head when he heard it, and his pace quickened a bit.

He didn't bypass the busy streets as he did in the past, but ran straight there.

Uchiha Shisui, who was hiding in the tree behind him and monitoring him, was also stunned.

"What's going on? Why didn't Uzumaki Naruto take a detour today? Is he going to buy something?"

He felt doubtful, but he still accelerated his speed and followed him.

When he came to the street, he saw two groups of people confronting each other. There were more than a dozen people on each side, and more and more villagers gathered around to watch the excitement.

One of them had a symbol similar to a round fan on his body, and they were members of the Uchiha clan.

The other side had the symbol of the Sarutobi family on their body, and they were members of the Sarutobi clan.

In both camps, several people had bruises on their faces, and it was obvious that there had been a conflict.

】

The leader of the Sarutobi clan was furious, but he still suppressed his anger and warned: "Uchiha Yashiro! Don't go too far!"

"The previous violent law enforcement has not been resolved, and you dare to bully our Sarutobi clan now!"

On the contrary, the Uchiha clan looked disdainful and did not hide their arrogance.

The man he called Uchiha Yashiro stood in the front and said disdainfully: "It was your clan members who were drunk and insulted our Uchiha clan. As a police force, we must take you away according to the regulations!"

"You are taking revenge for personal gain!!"

"Taking revenge for personal gain?"

Looking at the angry Sarutobi clan members, Uchiha Yashiro smiled contemptuously: "It was your clan members who violated Konoha's regulations first, so how can we take revenge for personal gain?"

"That's right, if you hadn't violated the regulations first and resisted our arrest, how could we use unconventional means against your clan members?"

The quarrel between the two sides became more and more intense.

The Sarutobi clan all looked dissatisfied and frustrated, while the Uchiha clan looked excited, and seemed to want to teach them a lesson.

Both sides were ready to fight again at any time.

The crowd around was also increasing, but most of them accused the Uchiha clan of being unreasonable and expressed understanding and sympathy for the Sarutobi clan.

And in the crowd, a small figure wearing a hood was hidden.

"Naruto, have you analyzed the cause and process of the incident? What do you think of the Will of Fire based on this incident?"

Menma's playful voice sounded again.

Naruto scratched the back of his head in distress and said: "The Will of Fire in my understanding is that the ancestors dedicate themselves to illuminate their descendants and extend hope and future to their descendants."

"But it seems to be different from the Will of Fire I imagined. It seems, it seems..."

Naruto thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a suitable adjective.

Menma smiled and said, "Do you feel that the Will of Fire has been distorted? Has it completely lost its original intention?"

Twisted...

"Yes, that's the feeling."

Naruto suddenly realized, "It seems that someone has misinterpreted its meaning and made it gradually go to an extreme."

The core of the Will of Fire is that Konoha is supreme. Konoha is everyone's home and needs everyone to protect it. Only Konoha Village is the real and unique existence itself.

At first glance, this idea is correct.

But if it is misinterpreted or misunderstood by someone with ulterior motives, then the Will of Fire becomes a "weapon".

The most typical example is the view of Shimura Danzo and others on the Uchiha clan.

"Although you haven't done it yet, I think you will definitely make trouble in the future, so I will treat you unfairly, suppress you, alienate you, and make you do the work of offending others."

Then when the Uchiha clan was oppressed to the extreme, there were dissatisfied voices.

"Ah, you are really not loyal to Konoha. Since you want to cause trouble, I will deal with you."

This shows the most hypocritical part of "Konoha Supremacy".

Because the definition of "Konoha" is often determined by the top leaders of Konoha. In their eyes, the definition of Konoha does not include the Uchiha clan.

It highlights the idea that "loyalty is not absolute, then it is absolutely disloyal".
