Konoha's Ninja Academy had a very large auditorium, large enough to accommodate all the teachers and students of the ninja school inside to observe the ceremony.
This auditorium was usually kept closed and was only used during the annual entrance or graduation ceremonies.
This was also specially prepared for Sarutobi Hiruzen.
After all, a Hokage needed the prestige of a Hokage. He almost never missed any entrance or graduation ceremony.
His theory of the Will of Fire may be late, but it is never absent.
"That's weird. Why is a kid standing up there?"
"Is Grandpa Hokage not giving a speech today?"
"That's actually better. Last year, he talked for more than an hour. My butt went numb from sitting."
"How dare you! You're actually complaining about Grandpa Hokage's speech!"
"Why are you yelling so loudly? You said the sa thing last ti!"
"…"
Many of the parents who ca to listen to the Hokage's speech also revealed puzzled expressions.
Standing on the high platform, Aoba looked down at the bunch of kids blatantly whispering to each other below, and felt a little helpless.
He himself actually really disliked listening to speeches too, so much talk and not a single point, all full of toxic positivity.
"Aoba! You got this!", While most people were whispering to each other, a blond-haired kid suddenly sprang up.
Naruto saw that Aoba wasn't speaking and thought he was nervous, so he stood up to cheer him on.
"Hey, doesn't he look like that guy?"
"Which guy?"
"One of those two weirdos who run around the village every morning."
"My mom told not to play with him, said it would make stupid."
"He kinda looks funny though!"
"But I think he's kinda cute without that green outfit on!"
"Look at the one next to him, the cool-looking one, he's even more handso!"
"…"
Before Aoba could feel encouraged, Naruto himself beca the center of attention.
And by extension, Sasuke, who was sitting next to him, also beca a focus.
"Idiot!", Sasuke's face turned red as he forcefully pulled Naruto back down to sit.
He leaned over and whispered sothing into his ear, which shut him up and made him sit quietly.
Looking at how the scene got even noisier because of Naruto, the corner of Aoba's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
When you have a friend who's a show-off, even if you don't want to show off, your show-off friend will help you do it.
He felt that he needed to say sothing to set the tone.
"Classmates, before the official speech begins, let tell you sothing you must rember and repeat it to the Hokage when you graduate. He'll definitely be very pleased."
In an instant, countless eyes looked over, curious about what his opening line would be.
"Where tree leaves dance... one shall find flas... the fire's shadow will illuminate the village... and once again tree leaves shall bud anew," Hearing this line, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was secretly watching from behind the scenes while holding his pipe, showed a gratified smile.
At the scene, most of the kids who were whispering began to get serious.
In Konoha, as long as the speech starts with the Will of Fire, it's guaranteed to go smoothly.
With the scene initially stabilized, Aoba decided to drop a bombshell, "Most of you probably don't know , so before we start today's speech, let introduce myself first..."
"My na is Shirakumo Aoba. Whether you rember my na or not isn't important. What's important is, I am the disciple of Tsunade-sama, the strongest dical ninja in Konoha. The Third Hokage is my teacher's teacher."
"Also, I've already mastered the A-rank dical ninjutsu: Mystical Palm Technique and Chakra Scalpel. I've also inherited Tsunade-sama's monstrous strength techniques and know a bit of hand-to-hand combat."
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was puffing on his pipe and waiting for more, was suddenly choked and laughed bitterly, "This little rascal is still just as special as ever…"
"This brat!", Tsunade, listening in from behind, couldn't help but twitch her mouth as well. Quite a few people were already casting their gaze toward her.
But this was already much better than before. Last ti, the speech draft was so embarrassing she couldn't even bear to hear it as a master.
The originally indifferent expressions in the audience gradually changed, and the resistance to hearing a kid's speech vanished completely.
They were already feeling like they were about to be scorched by the raging Will of Fire.
As Aoba's gaze swept over the audience below and saw them sitting upright one by one, he nodded in satisfaction. Now this was what a speech should look like.
Now, he would officially begin his formal speech, "Respected teachers, dear classmates! Today is the opening day of Konoha Ninja Academy. It is the annual entrance day for new students. As a freshman, I am deeply honored to give a speech here..."
That sudden, loud, and slightly dramatic voice pierced everyone's eardrums, and the entire auditorium trembled slightly.
With deep emotion!
With powerful delivery!
"I am a disciple of Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin. In the process of my studies, the more I learned, the more I understood the shortcomings of ordinary ninjas, and even more, I ca to understand the vital role of dical ninjas."
"The unique dical system built by my teacher for Konoha is one of the key reasons why Konoha is stronger than the other four great ninja villages."
"dical ninjas..."
"…"
"When carrying out missions, there are often tis when dical ninjas are needed, for example, head trauma, fractures, heavy bleeding, poisoning, etc. These are all difficult for regular ninjas to handle. But if your team has a dical ninja, tily treatnt becos possible..."
"…"
Aoba spoke with passion and emotion.
But most of the kids below were already dozing off. Many teachers and parents also looked a bit bored. He knew, it was ti for a Will of Fire ending.
"In the past decades, Konoha has gone through three great ninja wars and countless small battles. In these wars, we have suffered and endured much hardship."
"Konoha has also been regarded as the biggest hypothetical enemy by the other four great ninja villages, which has seriously weakened our overall strength. Today, Kumogakure bullies us, Iwagakure insults us, and even Sunagakure eyes us covetously."
"Now, we are facing a major upheaval in the ninja world that hasn't been seen in years."
"Konoha's future, the hope of our village, lies on our shoulders. In this important and difficult ti, we must grit our teeth, study hard, fight through hardship, and always rember the Will of Fire."
"Carry forward the great Will of Fire of resilience, struggle, dedication, never abandoning, and never giving up."
"Because we firmly believe, no winter will not pass, and no spring will not arrive! Our village will once again stand at the top of the ninja world!"
"We will beco the excellent successors of Konoha's future, progressing together, guided by the Will of Fire, and jointly building our ho."
"Let us work hard together, look forward to the future! Add bricks and tiles to a beautiful Konoha Village!"
"Beco outstanding pillars of Konoha! Make Konoha great again!"
