Chapter 9 【The Will of Fire! 】

After the new year.

Hyuga Bin finally fulfilled Hatake Kakashi's wish and accepted the challenge on a dark and windy night a month before Hatake Kakashi will graduate early.

Hyuga Bin defeated Hatake Kakashi with about 100% strength.

After being defeated by Hyuga Bin, Hatake Kakashi was not discouraged.

As the one who has inherited the swordsmanship of the Hatake family, he won't be devastated because of one or two failures.

However, he was still a little curious about the true strength of Hyuga Bin, because he could feel that Hyuga Bin did not use his full strength in the battle with him.

"Bin, can you tell me your true strength now?"

"Fighting with you, I probably used 80% of my strength." Hyuga Bin smiled and said.

As a steady ninja, Hyuga Bin naturally did not reveal the truth to Hatake Kakashi. On the one hand, he wanted to keep his hole cards, and on the other hand, he was afraid of hitting Hatake Kakashi.

"Is 80% so strong?" Hatake Kakashi thought about it in his heart, and ignited his confidence to speak to Hyuga Bin: "Bin, I will continue to challenge you next year."

He believes that with his year's hard work, he can smooth the remaining "20%" gap with Hyuga Bin.

"Okay." Hyuga Bin did not refuse Hatake Kakashi again this time.

"Bin, will you choose to graduate early this year?" Hatake Kakashi continued to ask Hyuga Bin.

He has discussed with Hatake Sakumo and applied for early graduation in March this year.

With his current strength, staying in the Ninja School will not improve him much.

He also hopes that Hyuga Bin can also graduate early so that he can have a clearer contrast in the process of surpassing Hyuga Bin.

"I also want to learn more about basic knowledge in Ninja School." Hyuga Bin smiled and shook his head.

Becoming a ninja is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing. He intends to continue to be stable in the village for a few years, and wait until his strength is barely enough, and he will no longer be a cannon fodder before graduating.

After all, the ninja world is too dangerous, Jōnin walks everywhere, and Kage-level is not as good as a dog.

After that, Hyuga Bin seemed to have thought of something, and reminded Hatake Kakashi: "By the way, Kakashi, you should care about your father more."

The failure of Hatake Sakumo's mission led to suicide, which happened not long after Hatake Kakashi ninja graduated.

Hatake Kakashi is also considered a friend by him. If he can, he does not want Hatake Kakashi to become a task-only machine under Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen like the original.

"I know, Bin, thank you." Although Hatake Kakashi didn't quite understand, he thanked him politely.

"Kakashi, you must remember to do this." Hyuga Bin mentioned again because he was worried that his advice would fall be deaf ears.

"Yeah." Hatake Kakashi nodded obediently again.

...

In March of the 39th year of Konoha, Hatake Kakashi graduated.

Suddenly a place in the class was vacated, and Hyuga Bin occasionally felt that something was missing.

In addition, during this period of time, the system random attribute points are always random to [pupil strength +0.1], which makes him occasionally feel that his eyes are swollen and uncomfortable.

...

The thirty-ninth year of Konoha, autumn.

Hyuga Bin became a second-year student in Ninja School.

The school system of the Ninja School is of six years, but because of the high mortality rate of the ninja during the war period, it needs a lot of fresh blood to supplement, so the school system is compressed to four years now.

In other words, Hyuga Bin Konoha will graduate from the Ninja School in the 42nd year at the latest, and then go to the battlefield.

And in Konoha's forty-two years, the third Ninja World War will also just kicked off.

With the assassination of Third Kazekage by Sasori of Red Sand as an opportunity in the 43rd year of Konoha, the Third Ninja War will enter in full blown state.

There is not much time left for Hyuga Bin to make choices in the village.

In the first week of school, a compulsory course on the teaching of the will of fire was conducted, which was taught by Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The students of Ninja School are looking forward to this class, except for Hyuga Bin.

Hyuga Bin would naturally not be brainwashed by the will of fire of this fake big sky, and then he would wanted to dedicate everything to Konoha.

For dedication, Hyuga Bin has his own inner measurement standards.

In Sarutobi Hiruzen's Will of Fire teaching, Sarutobi Hiruzen repeated the spirit of the Will of Fire at the beginning and at the end: where the leaves fly, fire will continue to grow. The fire light will continue to illuminate the village and let the new leaves germinate.

This sentence made the many students and teachers sitting enthusiastic, wishing to give their lives for the will of fire immediately.

The meaning of the will of fire: young people are the hope for the future, and the older generation must trust and guard them. The sacrifice of the older generation is not meaningless, but it will inspire young people to become the pillars of the future.

The burning flame of fallen leaves is a metaphor for the heroic sacrifice of the older generation, and the new leaves are metaphors for the young.

But the reality of the will of fire is that Sarutobi Hiruzen frequently arranges for Genin, who has just graduated, to fight on the front line with the enemy.

Many Genins who were only ten years old, and died on the battlefield, with no bones left.

As the strongest in Konoha, Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, known as "the strongest Hokage in history", has never been to the front line once in the years after the end of Second Ninja war. He sits firmly in Konoha Village and controls the overall situation, strategizing.
