Education in Fire and Grass, Tetsuya: I'm a businessman, not a saint-there's a price to pay

Hizashi Hyuga's death caused quite a stir among Konoha's shinobi clans. They realized that, in the village's eyes, their clans could be sacrificed.

But why had their shinobi clans chosen to join Konoha, to become part of this village, in the first place?

Hadn't they done it for protection and stability?

But could Konoha still offer them protection and stability now?

It was hard to say.

Dissenting voices began to emerge within the various clans. Fortunately, they were in the minority and were quickly suppressed.

Still, this served as a warning to the clans. It was time to make at least a few contingency plans.

Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally knew what these clans were thinking, but he didn't care.

All he hoped for was for the village to remain stable for now.

What Konoha needed now was time. The younger generation still needed to grow. Once Konoha's new forces had matured and the village had enough strength to stand on, there would still be time to discuss other matters.

As for how to make this younger generation utterly devoted to Konoha and the village, he could only rely on the Ninja Academy.

He believed that the Ninja Academy's education in the Will of Fire would turn the younger generation into loyal supporters of the village.

In the latest batch of teaching materials, Hiruzen Sarutobi continually downplayed the concept of clans and emphasized that the village was a collective, that the village was everything. As shinobi, they could give their lives for the village. That was the Will of Fire.

The incident involving Hizashi Hyuga came to a close. After staying in Konoha for another two days, Tetsuya returned to the Land of Grass.

"Tetsuya, I did it! Tetsuya, I did it!"

Tetsuya hadn't been back at the Daimyo's Mansion for long
