On the podium.

Asuma passionately recounted his understanding of the Will of Fire, speaking like a poetry recital: "It's a saying from Aomi…"

Upon hearing the name Aomi, the little ones in the Ninja Academy all changed their previously playful demeanor and sat upright with extreme seriousness.

Aside, Kabuto's eyes sparkled. The education he received in Root was—"Eating Lady Aomi's food, wearing Lady Aomi's clothes, with the kindness of Lady Aomi surging in the heart…"

Smart Kabuto initially found this a bit odd…

However, the orphanage director, whom Kabuto respected the most, Yakushi Nonou, very earnestly told him that Lady Aomi was indeed worthy of their reverence.

Thus, with his defenses down, Kabuto gradually became captivated by Aomi's stories until he was completely enthralled after this war.

And Uchiha Itachi also listened with wide eyes. After the war ended, his father, Uchiha Fugaku, was deeply confused, often muttering incoherently—"How can the Mangekyo fail?"

Witnessing the scene where Aomi single-handedly slaughtered enemies, Itachi felt a strong curiosity towards Aomi.

This man, not only one of the most outstanding Uchiha in history but also mastered the Will of Fire!

"Where the leaves dance, fire also comes alive. As long as there are leaves dancing, the fire will continue to burn… The light of fire will illuminate the village and cause new leaves to sprout…"

Asuma softly said:

"From his time in the Ninja School, Aomi, with an identity as an Uchiha feared by the village leaders, shared selflessly his experiences and Ninjutsu, gained through his internal warmth and extraordinary talents, with anyone in need…"

"Whether ninja clans, civilians, or even someone like me who initially had opinions about him as the son of the Hokage, or the hawkish Uchiha who misunderstood him, Aomi treated all equally, acting with a bodhisattva's heart yet with potent means, having the mindset of a Hokage even during his time in the Ninja School…"

Saying this, Asuma abruptly slapped himself: "No, it's a mindset far exceeding the Hokage!"

How can his old father be compared with Aomi?

"The gentle yet firm Aomi unified Konoha with his Will of Fire, from civilians, Uchiha to the lineage of the Hokage in Konoha, and with his personal talents protected the village behind, sheltering you young saplings from wind and rain…"

Asuma's eyes revealed Aomi's image, seemingly sparkling with tears:

"I don't expect you to reach Aomi's level, I just hope you can grasp his spirit, place the Will of Fire into practice and keep it in mind!"

After this, Asuma recounted many stories of Aomi.

From the rebellious son of the Hokage, to Aomi guiding him personally, teaching him the profound Fire Release Chakra Ninjutsu…

An eternal Genin, yet uncovered by Aomi, became the first to advance to Jonin through Taijutsu, possessing unfathomable power, Might Duy…

Without resources, yet noticed by Aomi, who unselfishly shared and taught her Mystical Palm Jutsu using the Sharingan, Nohara Rin…

Also once an enemy, but persuaded by Aomi, Kakuzu.

And unjustly accused by Shimura Danzo, when no one in the village dared to speak up, it was Aomi who led the effort to rehabilitate Hatake Sakumo and saved him!

Among all these were many things…

Even in today's Konoha, only someone like Asuma dared to speak to the Ninja School students.

Were the relationships between the village leadership and the Uchiha Clan once sensitive?

Speak!

Former Hokage Assistant Shimura Danzo persecuting the war hero Hatake Sakumo?

Speak!

Here with Asuma, nothing is unspeakable, anything can be discussed.

Just let these newcomers of Konoha appreciate the greatness of Aomi!

They are still children, listening to Asuma eagerly narrating the past darkness of Konoha, and how Aomi, as that ray of light, rose from his Uchiha identity, step by step gaining the support and trust of the majority…

These topics are ones many of their parents wouldn't dare to gossip about at the dinner table even after getting drunk.

Numerous Ninja Academy students were enthralled by Aomi's tense and exciting stories, simply cheering for such a legendary experience…

While smart children, like the precocious Uchiha Itachi and Kabuto, heard much more from Asuma's tales, quietly planting seeds of admiration for Aomi in the depths of their hearts.

They realized more clearly how difficult it was for Aomi to achieve all this…

Quietly, a touch of fortune was added to Aomi.

Beneath the podium, Aomi, currently playing the role of Uchiha Qi, laughed openly.

As expected of Asuma, his method of praising is the best in Konoha, combined with the identity of the Hokage's son, it's unbeatable.

These statements stirred the emotions of the Ninja Academy students to the fullest, leaving a deep impression of the name Aomi.

Kaguya listened intently to Asuma narrating Aomi's stories.

It turns out these conflicts among mortals are so thrilling and unpredictable, in such a small village exists such diverse factions, from civilians to ninja clans to those with high-level thinking, each holding their own standpoint.

Sealed within the moon for thousands of years, Kaguya expressed how delightful and captivating it was to listen, wishing to hear more!

"Aomi, it turns out your previous circumstances were even worse than when I was split from the Otsutsuki Clan…"

Kaguya softly said: "Truly extraordinary, to rise from such a repressed clan, step by step reaching the pinnacle, even figuring out my… Otsutsuki Hagoromo's measures, intending to seal him!"

"How do your shoulders bear so much pressure and still move forward?"

Kaguya's eyes seemingly showed stars, like a fangirl seeing the embodiment of a romantic hero appearing before her.

There was so much to chat about!

"Alright, this lesson ends here."

After Asuma finished narrating reluctantly, his expression became heavy again, saying solemnly: "The content of the next class will be taught by another ninja, involving Chakra control and an introduction to the Three-Body Jutsu!"

"Your homework is to fully prepare!"

"Aomi, quickly tell me more about the stories that bearded youth recounted about you, I want to know more details!" Kaguya said with great enthusiasm.

Aomi, however, calmly shook his head: "No, Kaguya, you should do your homework!"

Kaguya immediately waved indifferently: "Isn't it simple? Watch me!"

During Asuma's storytelling,

Senju Hashirama, listening to Senju Tobirama's recounting of Aomi, clutched his brother and cried: "Aomi, truly is a good Uchiha!!"

"We must save him!"
