Konoha: Start by choosing to become Hokage

After the new year.

On a dark and stormy night a month before Kakashi Hatake graduated early, Hinata finally fulfilled Kakashi Hatake's wish and accepted the challenge.

Hinata Bin used about half of his strength to defeat Hatake Kakashi.

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

As someone who inherited the swordsmanship of the Hatake family, he would not get depressed just because of one or two failures.

Thinking back to when his father, Hatake Sakumo, had used ten different knives for him to catch him when he was one year old, he survived. Now that he was defeated by Hinata Bin, it didn't matter.

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

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

"I probably used 80% of my strength to fight you." Hinata Bin said with a smile.

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

"Eighty percent strength?" Hatake Kakashi made some calculations in his mind, and then spoke to Hinata Bin with confidence: "Bin, I will continue to challenge you next year."

He believes that with this year's hard work, he can close the remaining "20%" gap with Hinata Bin.

"Okay." Hinata Bin did not refuse Hatake Kakashi this time.

"Bin, are you going to choose to graduate early this year?" Hatake Kakashi continued to ask Hinata Bin.

He had already discussed it with Hatake Sakumo and applied for early graduation in March this year.

With his current strength, continuing to stay in the ninja school will not improve him much.

He also hopes that Hinata Bin can graduate early, so that he can have a clearer comparison in the process of surpassing Hinata Bin.

"I also want to learn more basic knowledge in the ninja school." Hinata Bin smiled and shook his head.

Becoming a ninja is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing. He plans to continue to be stable in the village for a few more years until he is strong enough and is no longer cannon fodder before graduating.

After all, the ninja world is too dangerous, jounin is everywhere, and the kage level is not as good as a dog.

After saying that, Hinata Bin seemed to have thought of something and reminded Kakashi Hatake: "By the way, Kakashi, you should pay more attention to your father."

Hatake Sakumo failed in his mission and committed suicide, which happened not long after Hatake Kakashi graduated as a ninja.

Hatake Kakashi is also considered a friend with him. If possible, he does not want Hatake Kakashi to become a machine that can only perform tasks under the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen like in the original work.

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

"Kakashi, you must remember to do this." Hinata Bin mentioned again because he was worried that Hatake Kakashi would turn a deaf ear.

"Yes." Hatake Kakashi nodded obediently again.

…

In March of the thirty-ninth year of Konoha, Kakashi Hatake graduated.

Suddenly a seat became vacant in the class, and Hinata Bin occasionally felt that something was missing.

In addition, during this period of time, the random attribute points of the system were always randomized to [Pupillary Strength +0.1], which made him occasionally feel that his eyes were swollen and very uncomfortable.

…

The thirty-ninth year of Konoha, autumn.

Hinata Bin became a second-year student at the ninja school.

The educational system of ninja schools is six years, but due to the high mortality rate of ninjas during the war and the need for a large amount of fresh blood, the educational system was compressed to four years.

In other words, Hinata Bin will graduate from the ninja school in the 42nd year of Konoha at the latest and then go to the battlefield.

In the forty-two years of Konoha, the Third Ninja War just kicked off.

With the assassination of the third Kazekage by the Red Sand Scorpion in Konoha's 43rd year as an opportunity, the Third Ninja World War entered a fierce state.

Hinata Bin didn't have much time left to make a choice in the village.

In the first week of school, there was a required course on the teaching of the Will of Fire, which was personally taught by the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

All the students in the Ninja School are looking forward to this class, except Hinata Bin.

As a young man who grew up under the red flag, Hyuga Bin would naturally not be brainwashed by this fake Sora's will of fire, and then want to dedicate everything to Konoha.

Regarding dedication, Hinata Bin has his own inner standards of measurement.

In Hiruzen Sarutobi's Will of Fire lecture, Hiruzen Sarutobi repeated the spirit of the Will of Fire at the beginning and at the end: Where leaves are flying, fire also grows. The fire will continue to illuminate the village and cause new leaves to sprout.

This sentence made many students and teachers sitting here feel excited and wanted to immediately give their lives for the Will of Fire.

The meaning of the Will of Fire: Young people are the hope of the future, and the older generation must trust and protect them. The sacrifices of the older generation are not meaningless, but will inspire young people to become the pillars of the future.

The burning flames of fallen leaves are a metaphor for the heroic sacrifices of the older generation, while the new leaves are a metaphor for young people.

But the reality of the Will of Fire is that Hiruzen Sarutobi frequently arranged for newly graduated genin to go to the front lines to fight enemy ninjas.

Many genin died in battle when they were only ten years old, leaving no trace of their bodies.

As the strongest person in Konoha, the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, who is known as the "strongest Hokage in history", has never been to the front line once in the past few years since the end of World War II, and has remained firmly seated in Konoha Village. , control the overall situation and strategize.
