Naruto: Favorability System

Chapter 3: Boring Will of Fire



Next morning

After a simple wash, Naruto was just about to go for a stroll in the street when he remembered that he had been told not to go outside by the third Hokage yesterday.

He returned to the room with a disappointed face, looked at the snow on the street, and passed the time while exercising in the morning.

Because of his age, Naruto's morning exercises are simple stretches and don't involve high-intensity training.

Because he is too young at present, and he does not have any effective physical training methods, and messing around with training will only delay his future physical development.

After an unknown amount of time, Naruto heard the sound of stones hitting the door, opened the door and saw several more boxes in the corridor.

Thinking back to what the third Hokage said yesterday, these should be the "reading materials" he asked Anbu to send him and the survival materials he needed during the confinement period.

Moving all the cartons into the house for storage, Naruto opened the carton full of books with great anticipation.

There were about a dozen books in it. Naruto glanced at the cover, and "Ninja Geography", "Konoha History", "The Will of Fire" and so on were written on it.

Naruto directly ignored "The Will of Fire" and "Konoha History", and picked up the "Ninja Geography" next to it.

He has enough understanding of the plot of Naruto, but he knows nothing about the geography and customs of the ninja world.

These books can just make up for his lack pf knowledge in this regard.

The number of words in "Ninja Geography" is very small, and Naruto spent an hour reading it, and he has a general understanding of Ninja World Geography now.

The geography of the ninja world gave him a very strange feeling, completely contrary to the geography knowledge he learned in his previous life.

The Land of Rain, where it rains all the year round, and the Land of Wind, which is dry and devoid of rain, are at the same latitude, but the amount of precipitation is vastly different.

This may be related to Chakra, after all, this is a world with extraordinary power.

After complaining, Naruto picked up "Konoha History", with a mysterious smile on his face.

He was confident that he knew more about Konoha history than the old man Third Hokage.

After reading a few pages, Naruto was slightly stunned, because "Konoha History" depicted a vastly different history than the one he was aware of.

The evaluation of Senju is fairly objective, but it exaggerates the importance of the Sarutobi, Shimura, and Ino-Shika-Cho families during the village construction period.

It also belittles the role of Uchiha, and deliberately reduces the Uchiha's achievements...

Powerless to complain, Naruto put "The History of Konoha" aside and focused on "The Will of Fire".

Although he was not too impressed with "The Will of Fire", he still opened the book called "The Will of Fire".

After all, the Third Hokage sent such a large pile of books here just to let him read this book.

If he doesn't read it himself, what will he do if the third Hokage sees that he hasn't read the most important book?

Hokage Office

After handling the government affairs, the third Hokage took out the crystal ball and switched the screen to Naruto's room.

Then, he lit the tobacco slowly, watched Naruto read the book he sent over, and smiled cheerfully when he saw Naruto pick up "The Will of Fire".

It is also one of his daily tasks as Hokage to care of the Jinchuriki and not let the Jinchuriki deviate from the 'correct' path.

Although it is unknown who spread the rumor that Naruto is a demon fox, it actually brought a negative impact on Naruto, which has greatly reduced the stability of the Jinchuriki.

But as long as there is the will of fire, Naruto will definitely be able to get back on track and become a ninja useful to the village.

At this time, a black shadow passed by, and an Anbu, who was in charge of the investigation mission, half-kneeled in front of the Third Hokage.

Third Hokage put away the crystal ball, looked at Anbu and asked, "How is the matter going? Have you found out who spread the rumor about the demon fox?"

Anbu hesitated to speak, as if he was worried, "Master Third Hokage..."

Third Hikage glanced at Anbuanf said, "It's okay. You can talk."

Anbu said, "According to my investigation, apart from the spies outside the village, there are also people inside the village who are spreading the rumors about the demon fox, and some of them even involve other high-level people in the village..."

Hearing this, Third Hokage narrowed his eyes slightly, and stretched out his hand to signal the Anbu that he didn't need to continue talking.

Besides his old friend Danzo, who else could it be?

After taking office again as Hokage, he has given enough power to the root organization, but Danzo still extended his claws to Naruto, trying to influence Naruto.

This has completely exceeded his tolerance limit, it's time to take some action.

At this time, Anbu, who was kneeling on the ground, asked cautiously, "My lord, do you think it's time to clear up the rumor about the demon fox?"

The Third Hokage took a deep look at Anbu, shook his head and said, "Let's let nature take its course for now. Clarifying the rumors at this time will actually confirm Naruto's identity as a Jinchuriki"

"Yes, Lord Third Hokage."

Third Hokage took out the crystal ball again, looking at the picture of Naruto reading a book and fell into deep thought.

Logically speaking, he should immediately order to clarify the rumors about the demon fox.

But before making a decision, he hesitated again, maintaining the status quo was the best choice for him as a Hokage.

Only by enduring enough suffering and loneliness can his image in Naruto's eyes grow bigger.

However, it's not good for Naruto to be like this all the time, and he doesn't have much time to accompany him, maybe he should take the initiative to find some friends for Naruto.

Thinking of this, the third Hokage said to Anbu, "Let the Nara patriarch come to the Hokage building, I have something to discuss with him."

...

Naruto's room

After spending most of the day, Naruto finished reading "The Will of Fire".

To be honest, Naruto doesn't have much malice towards the content of "The Will of Fire", and of course he also doesn't have much favor.

There is only one sentence at the core of the will of fire: wherever the flames and leaves dance, the fire will never stop. The firelight will continue to illuminate the village and cause new leaves to sprout.

The general meaning is as follows:

Young people are the hope of the future, and the older generation should trust and protect them. The sacrifice of the older generation is not meaningless, but will inspire the young to become the pillars of the future.

This sentence is more like a slogan to unite people's hearts, and it doesn't have much practical meaning.

During the time of the first and second Hokage, their behavior itself represented the will of fire.

But the third Hokage could only use the will of fire to win people's hearts and maintain the Konoha Ninja Alliance from collapse.

Naruto doesn't know how many people in the village are willing to believe in the will of fire and have the will of fire.

But there must be more people who chanted slogans than those who actually practiced them, and with the help of this slogan, there are even more people who seek personal gain for themselves.

Naruto wouldn't be a supporter of the Will of Fire, but he wouldn't be so stupid as to publicly oppose the slogan either.

After all, there is nothing wrong with this slogan, it is those ridiculous people who are wrong.

After figuring this out, Naruto felt a little bored, and casually threw "The Will of Fire" aside, lay down on the sofa and began to take a nap.

Today is only the first day that he is not allowed to go outside, and he doesn't know how many more days it will last in the future.

But it doesn't matter to him, he has food and clothing, and all kinds of books to relieve his boredom.

However, just as Naruto fell asleep, a trace of fiery red chakra escaped from the four elephant seals on his stomach.
