"He seemed to be really looking forward to Little Naruto asking him questions."
"However, Little Naruto just glanced at him."
"It means that if you set a fire now, this place will burn very quickly. The more trees there are, the bigger the fire."
"If burning Konoha leaves fly away, they will ignite the trees on the other side. If there are always trees, it will keep burning."
"Hahahaha~!"
For a moment, laughter echoed throughout the Ninja World.
Only Konoha Village was relatively quiet.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was full of embarrassment.
""Ahem, this is a will, called the Will of Fire, and it is a will unique to Konoha Village." Hiruzen Sarutobi almost sat down in the fire."
"He never expected Naruto to answer him like that."
""Oh." Little Naruto responded indifferently, lowering his head to continue poking the wood, making the fire stronger."
""That old man must be trying to teach me some kind of ideology... just like the strange voice that appeared in my mind.""
""Hmph! What this Old Man says is not even one-tenth as good as the strange voice in my mind.""
""You are still young now; you will understand when you grow up." Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head."
""This is also why Konoha has always existed in the Ninja World and remains the number one Ninja Village.""
""As long as there are leaves dancing, the flames will continue to burn, symbolizing the continuation of life and an unyielding spirit.""
""This is a spirit of selfless dedication. The old leaves burn themselves to protect the new sprouts.""
""The Will of Fire is the hope that everyone in the Village has no barriers and works together for the Village.""
""Because everyone in the Village is family.""
""I believe you will also work hard to protect the Village.""
Hiruzen Sarutobi's words made many people in Konoha Village smile.
It was as if they had heard a scripture.
One by one, they showed silly smiles.
"Lord Third Hokage is still so convincing."
"Yes, the Will of Fire, what a great will it is~"
"Protect the Village! We are all family~!"
"..."
However, before anyone in the chat room could speak.
Suddenly.
Everyone's minds simultaneously heard the prompt from the Comparison Viewing System.
"Ding—"
"Quiz begins!"
"Everyone, please prepare!"
Quiz?!
Many people were stunned.
They almost forgot about this.
But where was the question?
"Ding—"
"Quiz!"
"Question: How will Uzumaki Naruto react and what will he think internally regarding the Will of Fire spoken by Hiruzen Sarutobi?"
"Please choose from the following options!"
"1. Uzumaki Naruto will be shocked and show a look of longing; Inner thoughts: What an amazing Will of Fire, so that's how it is, everyone is family, then family should be tolerant of each other!"
As soon as option [1] came out.
Countless people in Konoha Village chose [1].
There was nothing to consider.
The Will of Fire is the most powerful will!
Born a Konoha person, die a Konoha ghost!
Even Lord Third Hokage chose option [1] without hesitation, so there was nothing to hesitate about.
However, many people in Konoha Village still hadn't chosen.
Ninja clans accounted for the majority.
"2. Uzumaki Naruto will jump up excitedly and ask Hiruzen Sarutobi if he can become family with everyone in the Village after comprehending the Will of Fire? Inner thoughts: Great! As long as I comprehend the Will of Fire, I can become everyone's family, and I will never be lonely again!"
Uh... many who chose option [1] now regretted it a bit.
Too hasty.
Option [2] clearly conformed more to 'fact'.
"3. Uzumaki Naruto will look at Hiruzen Sarutobi with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot; Inner thoughts: Is That old man crazy? Those bastards treated me like that, and I'd still be foolish enough to consider them family? What Will of Fire? A slogan to deceive people? Teuchi and Sister Ayame aren't Ninja, they might not even know what the Will of Fire is, but Teuchi is more like family than those who comprehend the Will of Fire."
As soon as option [3] came out.
Those with brains basically chose quickly.
No one knew that the moment option [3] appeared, in the Pure Land World, Kushina, with her tightly furrowed brow, unhesitatingly chose [3], being the first person to choose option [3].
In Konoha Village, many people had expressions of disbelief.
How could this answer be possible?
How could the Will of Fire be like this?
Also, how many times has this Black-Framed Naruto cursed That old man now?!
Deidara: "Isn't the answer obvious?"
Deidara: "A bunch of foolish guys, you should experience my art!"
Kurotsuchi: "Deidara-bro?"
Kurotsuchi: "You're not dead yet?"
Hidan: "Stupid Deidara, the leader ordered us not to expose ourselves easily."
Ōnoki: "The Akatsuki Organization? You're not the priority right now. This Old Man naturally chose option [3], it's too obvious."
Upon hearing this, a group of Konoha Ninja showed angry expressions.
Fourth Raikage: "Hahaha~ Surely no one actually chose [1] or [2], right?"
Believe it or not, quite a few people did choose them.
After all, besides the Will of Fire, there were also the Will of Stone and various others.
"That's great, Mikoto~"
"I'm definitely going to get this right. How could my Naruto be an idiot?"
"Mikoto, there's a resurrection reward in the quiz, you know~"
"Did you choose? When the time comes, we'll resurrect together, beat all those Old Man to death, and then take Naruto and Sasuke with us to leave!"
Kushina grabbed Mikoto's fair hand, speaking excitedly.
Uchiha Mikoto smiled faintly, feeling a little unnatural.
"I chose a bit too slowly, I don't know if it counts."
At this moment, Kushina's beautiful red hair was still standing tall.
Not too many, not too few, exactly nine strands.
Mikoto didn't dare to speak carelessly, fearing that the current Kushina would ignite at any moment.
Even though Mikoto had confidence in her good friend, Kushina's current appearance was too terrifying.
Mei Terumī: "I chose [3]."
Mei Terumī: "For that child, Black-Framed Naruto, this option is the most reasonable."
Mei Terumī: "The feeling Konoha Village gave him, besides being cold, hateful, and resentful, was nothing else."
Sakura Haruno: "Not entirely! There's also Ichiraku Ramen! Whether it's Teuchi or Sister Ayame, in both the black frame world and the gold frame world, they are very friendly to Naruto."
Rock Lee: "Right, and us!"
Ino Yamanaka: "We're not like those foolish guys."
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "You few, are you planning to disrupt the stable unity within Konoha Village?"
Ino Yamanaka: "You Old Man, how dare you say such a thing?!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi: ???
As soon as Ino Yamanaka finished speaking, she covered her mouth.
She accidentally blurted out what was on her mind.
However, Ino immediately wondered why she was afraid.
Who knows if this Old Man will even survive past the Chunin Exams.
"Ino."
Just then, a gentle female voice rang out.
"Mom~" Ino was startled, then quickly turned to look.
She saw her mother walking over.
Looking at her daughter's somewhat worried expression.
Yamanaka Rino rubbed her little head and said softly, "It's okay, even if the sky falls, Mom and Dad will support you."
"Mm~!" Ino instantly became a well-behaved child.
Uchiha Madara: If I'm not mistaken, Hashirama, you must have chosen [1] or [2].
Senju Tobirama: Although I don't want to admit it, Big Brother really might have chosen [1] and [2].
However, to the surprise of Uchiha Madara and Senju Tobirama.
Senju Hashirama: Hahaha~ I'm already dead, so I won't participate. I didn't choose.
