From a Pirate to a Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 344: The First Konoha Class, Uchiha Night Talk

Konoha, Ichiraku Ramen.

The three children who had just experienced life and death not long ago were only over thirteen years old, but it was obvious that their encounter with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen did not cause them to collapse mentally.

While waiting for their ramen, the three chatted about the owners of the coupons in their hands.

"That guy is now even more like someone who doesn't want to be approached. Kai, do you go to see him every day?"

"Yeah. As a friend, I can't bear to see him continue like this."

"Speaking of which... That guy Obito... A lot of us have sacrificed this time."

"Our class still has relatively few cases, but other classes have more. I heard that Sand Village and Kumogakure have calmed down, and Iwagakure also suffered heavy losses in the battle of Kannabi Bridge..."

"And those seven bastards from Kirigakure."

Having said this, Shiranui Genma and Ebisu fell silent at the same time and glanced at Kai cautiously.

Kai lowered his head and was silent for a while.

"Wherever leaves flutter, fire will burn. The shadow of the fire will illuminate the village and make new leaves sprout..."

Kai couldn't remember the rest of the conversation, scratched his head and said awkwardly: "Hokage-sama's speech at school, I think father also thought the same thing at that time. At that time, it was the moment to swear to protect the most important thing even at death."

Hearing this, the other two lowered their heads.

They are blaming themselves for past ridicule and belittlement.

Yes, practicing ninjutsu and training hard all the time, isn't it just to protect the most important thing in your heart?

Village, partners...

"Thank you, uncle!"

Three bowls of ramen were brought up by hand.

After saying thank you, Kai clenched his fist, his eyes flashing with a determination he had never had before.

"I will restrain myself and endure the training that ordinary people cannot endure, just to bloom at the last moment. I will do the same as my father."

After saying this, he opened his clasped hands.

"I'm gonna start now."

……

On the side, Kevin, who had already finished eating, listened to the conversation between the three children.

After asking by hand, he took the ramen bowl away, glanced at Kevin and asked, "Is this your first time here? At this time, there are very few people from other villages."

Kevin smiled and nodded: "I was delayed because of the war. The boss's ramen tastes very good, I will patronize you again in the future."

The conversation ended with thanks.

The term "outsiders" was proposed by the boss to remind Might Guy and the other two.

After all, what we just saw was also information.

"gentlemen?"

Kai, who was standing by, looked over at this time, and the ramen in his mouth fell down for a moment.

Kevin smiled and handed over the tissue: "Your mentality has recovered well. In comparison, you are more like a genius."

genius?

Might Guy was stunned and forgot to wipe his mouth after taking the tissue.

This title has never appeared on him.

When he tried to enroll in the Ninja School, he was rejected for a time because his Ninjutsu and Genjutsu were terrible. He was judged to have no ninja talent and could not be admitted.

At that time, my father said that as long as I ran a hundred laps, I would definitely be seen by the Hokage and would be granted special admission to the school.

Later, his father asked him to take Kakashi as his goal, but he always came last in every sparring class. He could not use ninjutsu and was a last-place finisher without any talent.

Even though my father encouraged me time and time again, I thought he was nothing special at that time because of what I saw on the surface.

Genius...this title has always been so far away from me.

"gentlemen……"

Kevin stood up and patted Matt Guy on the shoulder: "If you have time, see you at the old place."

After he finished speaking, Kevin turned and left the ramen restaurant.

And the black technique also flashed at his neck.

……

The jungle outside Konoha's eighth training ground.

After a golden flash, Kevin and Minato appeared at the same place as before.

"Sir, over at Iwagakure."

"You have a shadow clone over there, so you can rush over at any time, right? There's no need to practice sparring here, just chat."

Kevin said as he sat down casually, and Minato did the same.

"Wait a minute, there's a child."

Minato quickly thought of Might Guy, whom he had promised to bring with him.

Originally, he thought that teaching should be after the war. After all, after the battle of Kannabi Bridge, Iwagakure still had no intention of withdrawing from the border, and he himself also needed to carry out missions there.

However, this gentleman's lectures... don't seem to be picky about the location.

"The father of that child..."

"I know."

Kevin looked at him: "In fact, whether it is Might Dai or Might Guy, their spiritual willpower surpasses many people in my opinion. Many people here, even you."

At this time, Minato looked in another direction.

And Might Guy also ran over panting.

He was not stupid, because there was no Shiranui Genma and Ebisu by his side at the moment.

"gentlemen."

"sit down."

Perhaps because it would take time to get rid of his two companions, he ran from Ichiraku Ramen to here.

Thanks to his daily practice, he did not attract the attention of the Anbu and the Root.

"Where is your companion?"

Kevin asked with a smile.

Might Guy was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and replied: "Because of what the gentleman said last time...so..."

Kevin looked at Minato and said, "Great wisdom appears foolish. This kid sometimes sees things more clearly than you do. The training of spiritual will is more difficult than ninjutsu, but he and Might Dai persisted day after day."

"Because of their persistence in the hellish training, they have the power. Because of their persistence in their beliefs, they do not use this power to gain honor. They can endure loneliness and being pointed at by others, just to wait until the moment when they really need this power."

Kevin looked at Minato and said, "In the beginning, what was your reason for becoming a ninja... or what was your dream?"

Reason? Dream?
Namikaze Minato was thinking about it, because even he couldn't remember it for a moment.

He was different from many people in the village, because at first, perhaps it wasn't for the purpose of protecting the village or any other reason...

"The past is the past. Now, I want to use this power to protect that person."

Under the sunny smile, Kevin understood who that person was.

In memory, just for the sake of allowing Kushina's chakra to see the grown-up Naruto in the future, she made the choice at the cost of her own life.

Even the Rasengan, which had not yet been born, was developed to protect her.

"Jinchūriki... is a weapon of war."

He said this, but Minato nodded calmly, "So... that's why I have to do everything I can to protect her, right?"

Kevin nodded, then looked at Might Guy: "What about you?"

Kai plucked up the courage and raised his hand: "Protect the village, protect everyone, protect the important people!" His little face turned red, but he still spoke his dream loudly.

"Protect……"

"Because of this world full of war and chaos, survival, protection and peace have become the dreams pursued by most people in this world."

"And the fact is, they all have one thing in common...war."

Kevin looked up at the moon hanging high in the night sky: "Just like Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha in the Warring States Period, they truly experienced the death of their loved ones in battle and saw the era when the average life expectancy was no more than 30 years, so they found their true dreams."

"But the process of realizing the dream is difficult. Without truly understanding the nature of war, it is possible that all efforts are in the opposite direction."

The nature of war?
Namikaze Minato frowned and thought.

He had never thought about this question before, and no one had ever mentioned it.

As for Might Guy, he looked confused at this moment.

"Without investigation, you have no right to speak. The next time we meet, I need you to give me your own answer."

Kevin said as he took out two books and handed them to the two men.

"Open to the first page."

"Before the Warring States Period, the daimyo prefecture system."

Two people, one big and one small, with a huge gap in martial arts skills, are flipping through books seriously.

From the first page to the twentieth page, the entire first volume of the book tells the story of a world without ninjas, what its system is like, how people live, and what war was like at that time.

They both finished reading it quickly.

"Sir, there were no ninjas before the Warring States Period?"

Might Guy raised his hand.

Before Kevin could speak, Minato replied, "According to legend, ninjas appeared after the Six Paths Sage founded the Ninja Clan. There are very few records before that, and most of them are even myths."

Kevin: "The existence of the Six Paths Sage is not a myth, and even chakra did not exist in this world before that. But now, that's not what we are going to talk about."

Kevin paused and said, "In the era without ninjas, wars would still break out between countries, but there were very few records of those wars in the literature."

"But those who start a war are often the top leaders of a group, such as the Kage of the five major ninja villages and the daimyo of the daimyo mansion. Based on this, we put ourselves in their shoes..."

"Why would a high-ranking official with power, wealth, and even beauty start a war? Is it really because the enemy's soldiers or ninjas got lost today?"

"You have to know that the outcome of a war also determines the fate of the superiors. Ordinary people are like grass to them. At the same time, the victors also need civilians to create resources."

Resources.

Minato seemed to have grasped the point.

Yes, resources.

In the previous conversation, the gentleman also mentioned this word.

……

Under the cover of night, Kevin's first class in Konoha began.

One of the people listening to the lecture is the future Fourth Hokage, and the other may be the strongest fighting force in the future.

At the same time, the Uchiha clan’s territory.

In the reception room, Uchiha Fugaku, the clan leader at the time, was pouring tea for the person in front of him.

Since the Second Hokage, the Uchiha clan has always had the power of the Konoha Guard Force.

However, power is also a shackle.

Compared to the Hyuga clan, who had deep ties with the Daimyo Prefecture and did not participate in the fight for the Hokage, it was clear that the Uchiha clan had taken the wrong path.

But at this moment, the Uchiha clan had been roasted on the fire for so many years.

The power of the security forces makes ordinary clan members incompatible with Konoha, and the top leaders of the clan are also feared by the village management.

This situation has continued since the departure of the ancestor Uchiha Madara, the battle at the Valley of the End, and the early death of the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, due to injuries.

To some extent, the series of impacts brought about by the death of Hashirama Senju were all blamed on the Uchiha.

"Hokage-sama."

"Ah."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a sip of tea and said, "Fugaku... Obito's last request before he died was to give the Sharingan to Kakashi."

"The importance of bloodline to the family is unquestionable, but you know Kakashi. He has never gotten over the death of White Fang."

"The bond of friendship is all concentrated in that Sharingan. If it is lost, I am afraid that the child will follow his father's path."

These words made Fugaku pause with the cup in his hand.

During the Second Hokage's reign, some members of the Uchiha clan also became the Hokage's disciples.

At present, there are also young people in the clan who have teamed up with the golden flash, and Uchiha Obito has even become his disciple.

This is the goodwill expressed by the Hokage, and it is also one of the reasons why the Uchiha and the village can be so harmonious at present.

Otherwise, as the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen would not have gone to the Uchiha clan's territory alone, let alone sat in the reception room and talked with him.

"Two heroes with Sharingan appeared in the battle of Kannabi Bridge, one was Uchiha Obito, and the other was Hatake Kakashi."

Fugaku told what he had done during this period.

There is a huge difference between one hero and two heroes, heroes with the Sharingan instead of just Uchiha heroes.

"Hokage-sama, the war is still going on. At this time, Kakashi, who possesses the Sharingan, is also one of the strengths of the village. The Uchiha clan recognizes Obito's decision."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had not spoken the first sentence just now, now quickly relaxed his expression.

"Currently, Sand Village and Kumogakure have been fighting for a while, and the village can breathe a sigh of relief. As for Iwagakure, the power of the Uchiha clan is still needed."

Sarutobi Hiruzen paused and said, "After this war, it's time for me to retire."

Fugaku was stunned by these words, and his pupils even dilated slightly.

Why do you tell yourself this kind of thing?
In the entire village, there are some people who are capable of serving as the fourth Hokage, such as the three disciples of the third Hokage, who were the three famous ninjas in the ninja world during the Second Ninja World War.

Of course...there's also him as the head of the Uchiha clan.

"Lord Hokage..."

"time to go."

Exhaling a puff of smoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up: "As I get older, my spirit becomes worse and worse. Things are piling up after the war and waiting to be dealt with. I also need to go to the Hokage Building. Thank you Uchiha clan for your understanding."

……

Swallowing the questions he was about to ask, Fugaku saw Sarutobi Hiruzen off.

Afterwards, he continued to sit alone in the reception room, and even after drinking cup after cup of tea, he still couldn't calm down.

until……

"Dong dong."

There was a knock on the door and a small figure walked in.

The three-year-old Uchiha Itachi rubbed his eyes and looked at his father: "It's so late, father, haven't you rested yet?"

this late……

Fugaku's eyes narrowed.

He smiled self-deprecatingly.

Yes, anyone can become Hokage, except Uchiha.

Even if the Third Hokage said it himself, it would still be impossible.
