The combined efforts of Uchiha Kō and the villagers deeply moved even the powerful clan ninjas. This kind of influence was perhaps only comparable to that of Senju Hashirama, the founder of Konoha.
However, considering Uchiha Kō's record and achievements, they felt relieved. When he was weak, he defeated Amegakure with a scheme; when he was strong, Susanoo to kill the strongest Kazekage.
I disagree with the policy of not paying reparations after the war. No matter who you are, if you dare to wage war against Konoha, you will have to pay me reparations if you lose.
Don't fucking complain to me about being poor. Who the fuck isn't poor? You think you're right just because you're poor? This gave the villagers a sense of pride. This is the attitude that Konoha, the number one village in the Ninja World, should have.
In terms of key achievements, Uchiha Kō supported opening up commerce and increased compensation for the families of deceased ninjas, ensuring that the families could live carefree lives for at least the next thirty years.
Konoha's economy has experienced explosive growth, and the lives of Konoha have visibly improved. Every day, countless civilian ninjas from other villages want to transfer to Konoha.
Everyone was proud to live in Konoha. In fact, because Uchiha Kō valued business, the Land of Fire and neighboring countries offered him escort missions at exorbitant prices.
The Konoha Ninja now have relatively stable incomes. Isn't Tenten who actually does Hokage for the villagers much better than that certain strongest Hokage of Konoha who brainwashes people every three days, and performs brain surgery every five days?
Just kidding! The masses have discerning eyes; don't they know who's good to them?
Uchiha Kō's arrival ignited the entire street. He smiled and said, "Today is the reopening of the Konoha Academy. I would like to ask all parents to come to the school playground to listen to my brief speech."
Upon hearing this, the students and their families spontaneously stood on both sides, making way for Uchiha Kō.
Uchiha Kō laughed and shouted, "Thank you everyone!"
"The Lord Hokage so handsome!"
"Lord Hokage, I can be your lover, look at me~"
"The Hokage seems to be a very gentle person."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Kō slipped. Luckily, Tsunade wasn't there, or who knows what might have happened. He walked towards the podium.
Shimura Danzō closely behind, while the grade-level directors directed the teachers to lead the groups, and the parents could stay outside and leave their children with them without worry.
Parents handed their children over to the teachers according to the pre-assigned classes, but they did not leave. They wanted to hear what Hokage Uchiha Kō, had to say, to see just how high his resolve was and how novel his ideas were.
Uchiha Kō heard his subordinate's report but didn't care. He simply instructed the Anbu to maintain discipline, prevent a stampede, and ensure the safety of the villagers.
Captain Hatake Sakumo of the Anbu made a hand gesture, signaling everyone to protect the villagers. Immediately, all the Anbu sprang into action, appearing at the door in an instant and beginning to organize discipline.
Since most of the members of the Anbu are elite ninjas, they exude a strong killing intent. The moment they appear, many people feel a chill and unconsciously fall silent.
Under Hatake Sakumo's arrangement, one member of the Anbu was responsible for the safety of one hundred people. If a problem occurred, the Anbu member would be punished, and after that, the Anbu leader, the company commander, and the battalion commander would be punished.
Upon hearing the order, all the black-clad Anbu sprang into action, quickly identifying the personnel under their command. Once completed, the captain reported to Hatake Sakumo.
"Sir, the mission has been assigned!" he said, cupping his hands in greeting.
Hatake Sakumo nodded. "Maintain vigilance at all times; do not let your guard down."
"Yes!" the captain said, then returned to his unit to take charge.
Hatake Sakumo turned and ran towards the training ground; he needed to report to the Lord Hokage.
After receiving Hatake Sakumo's report, Uchiha Kō nodded and began his speech.
"Hello, classmates. My name is Uchiha Kō. Some of you have heard of my deeds, and some of you haven't."
Upon hearing this, many children looked up and stared at Uchiha Kō with fervent eyes.
"Actually, that's not important. What's important is you all."
"I can only guide Konoha in its present state, but the future of Konoha depends on you, the pillars of the village, and the students of the school."
The scene was in uproar
"What? The Lord Hokage actually said that the future of Konoha lies with us? What have we done to deserve this?"
"Yes, can someone like me really shoulder the responsibility for Konoha's future?"
Unlike the others, one student raised his head, his eyebrows furrowed, his blond hair quite noticeable, and his blue eyes held a gentle glint.
He did not doubt what Uchiha Kō said; instead, he looked at Uchiha Kō with a firm gaze.
Uchiha Kō was taken aback. Upon seeing the figure, the corners of his mouth turned up. He suppressed his guesses and instead spoke at length, urging everyone to work hard, study diligently, and protect Konoha and their families in the future.
Uchiha Kō didn't make empty promises; he spoke the truth, which resonated with many students and parents.
Hyuga Akagi slowly spoke, "Inheritance?" He looked at his somewhat graying long hair, shook his head, and smiled bitterly.
Even a middle-aged man like him was moved, let alone the children.
The children were now putting in their best effort to train hard and improve their skills so that they could protect the village and their families in the future.
Seeing that his purpose had been achieved, Uchiha Kō smiled and said, "Let's encourage each other, young men. You are the future of Konoha, the pride of Konoha. My speech ends here. Thank you all!"
Uchiha Kō bowed to the students, feeling sorry for them, having listened to him rambling on stage for almost an hour.
What he didn't know was that the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, could talk for three hours without getting tired. Compared to him, Uchiha Kō had already done a great job!
"Long live the Lord Hokage!"
"Long live the Lord Hokage!"
"I swear to follow the Lord Hokage!"
These words will be remembered by every child, and they will all strive for the future of Konoha and train diligently.
Upon seeing this, Shimura Danzō quickly instructed the teachers to organize the students in their class and head towards the classroom.
Uchiha Kō summoned Danzo, saying, "Danzo, that blond-haired boy will definitely amount to something in the future."
Shimura Danzō aback and looked in the direction of Uchiha Kō's gaze.
"This child's Namikaze Minato. He comes from a commoner ninja family, but his future will be even brighter than that of the noble clan ninjas. Do you believe it?" Uchiha Kō added.
Shimura Danzō, "Understood, Lord Hokage. From now on, I will have someone keep an eye on him and supervise his training."
Uchiha Kō rolled his eyes at him. "No need to urge him. What I mean is to put him in S Class. I'll personally teach S Class."
Danzo is really something, so stubborn!
Danzo was in an uproar. Uchiha Kō was going to personally teach S Class!! He couldn't help but think of the scene where his teacher taught him and Hiruzen and the other six!
The teaching section will begin from here, so please stay tuned.
