When Sarutobi Hiruzen finished his speech, Naruto had already been slumped in his classroom for the better part of an hour.
He sat in the last row by the window, the bright sunlight shining on his golden hair, adding a touch of youthful vigor to his appearance.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was loud, so loud that even sitting in the classroom, Naruto could clearly hear him. He must have used some unusual means to amplify the volume.
Sometimes, even Naruto couldn't understand why a single Will of Fire could brainwash people into such a fanatical state. A few "chicken soup" phrases that didn't even qualify as theories could make people so eager to follow. Even those involved in pyramid schemes knew to give their downlines some initial benefits, but this "Will of Fire" could make seven or eight-year-old children willingly go to the battlefield with just a few empty words, and even their parents had no objections. It was almost like a Genjutsu.
Or was it because there was no compulsory education in the Ninja world? The lower the level of knowledge, the more believable the Will of Fire became?
Naruto was still spacing out in his seat. Recently, he had been focusing on the Flying Thunder God Technique, and even his sleep schedule was chaotic. This school life could be considered a rare moment of relaxation, but it was disturbed by a noisy voice.
"That guy, he's really hiding in the classroom. He's not only disgusting but also very ill-mannered!"
"Dongye, keep your voice down. Have you forgotten what the Hokage said?"
"Yeah, and he's still that... my aunt saw it with her own eyes."
"Am I wrong? The Hokage is still giving a speech, and this guy just ran away. If it weren't for the Hokage, this guy would have been driven out of the village long ago."
Naruto knew without thinking that this kind of conversation was directed at him.
But when he heard it, he had to admit that he felt a little nostalgic. After all, it had been a long time since he had heard it. He raised his head and looked to the side.
Three little boys were sitting in the seats near the door, looking in his direction. The arrogant-looking guy in the middle was probably the one called Dongye. It couldn't be the two timid-looking guys next to him.
"Hey, where are you looking, you disgusting guy!"
Seeing Naruto looking at them, the one called Dongye actually stood up and pointed at Naruto, shouting angrily.
This kind of guy was probably a spoiled child from some family, or a brat who had been controlled too much since childhood. He really acted like he feared nothing. Didn't he see that other children were repeatedly told by their families not to get involved with him? This guy was quite the maverick.
Naruto looked at Dongye's cannon fodder appearance and couldn't help but think of those spiritual youngsters from his previous life.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's speech ended, and the students were almost back in the classroom. Dongye's commotion naturally attracted the attention of others. For a moment, the four of them became the focus of the entire room.
Suddenly becoming the center of attention, Dongye couldn't help but feel a surge of secret satisfaction and shouted again.
"What are you looking at! You orphan without parents!"
"If it weren't for the Hokage's kindness, treating everyone in Konoha as family, you, you white-eyed wolf, would have been driven out of Konoha long ago."
As soon as Dongye finished speaking, small voices of discussion rang out around him again.
"He, he's so brave."
"This... won't he be eaten directly by that thing?"
"I heard my mom say that thing can really turn into a Demon Fox."
Looking at the fearful expressions of many classmates, Dongye directly patted his chest and assured them, "You don't have to be afraid. We're in school. The Hokage will definitely protect us. If he dares to hurt us, the Hokage will definitely drive him out of the village."
"Heh, how interesting."
Naruto couldn't help but smile, his eyes calm as he said, "You seem to think you're very important?"
As he spoke, he raised his right hand, making a shooting gesture, pointing it at the boy named Dongye.
His action suddenly startled the children in the room, who didn't understand what Naruto meant, but Dongye seemed to have been insulted in some way, his eyes immediately turning red, and he gasped for breath.
"I'm going to break your fingers!"
"Naruto, Naruto, calm down!"
Minato Namikaze in the Sealing Space couldn't help but speak, and the other two also showed expressions of surprise and uncertainty.
The Sealing Space and Naruto's heart are interconnected. Whenever the evil in Naruto's heart becomes more intense, the Sealing Space becomes distorted and dark. Now the Sealing Space has begun to distort, and rust has climbed onto the door of the seal, so the three of them are greatly changed in color, only the Nine Tails is still happily reading the novel.
Although this kid named Dongye on the opposite side was indeed talking excessively, even Minato Namikaze couldn't help but want to clean him up, he still hoped that Naruto's behavior could be restrained a bit.
Naruto ignored Minato Namikaze's persuasion, looked at Dongye who was constantly approaching, and showed a wicked smile on his face. Young people are indeed full of vigor.
"Bang!"
Naruto gently made a gunshot sound in his mouth, and a gust of wind suddenly blew in the classroom. Countless leaves were swept in from outside the window and rushed towards Dongye.
"What is this?"
Dongye subconsciously raised his arms to block his eyes, to avoid being blinded by the wind and sand.
After a while, Dongye felt the wind stop, and after putting down his hands, he revealed his twisted face full of anger.
"You..."
The words in his mouth were stuck in his throat before he could say them. His eyes widened, and the scene in front of him made him feel extremely terrified.
Countless red foxes emerged from the shadows behind Naruto and pounced on him, starting to devour him frantically. His body, eyeballs, and even internal organs were suffering the pain of being gnawed. Fortunately, the child's willpower was not strong enough, and the Genjutsu didn't last long because of the intense pain, and he fainted.
Although he was a child, Naruto disliked this kind of child the most, and that's why he was called to the office for tea before the class even started.
When Naruto followed the gloomy-faced Iruka out of the classroom, no one in the classroom dared to secretly discuss Naruto anymore.
The way Dongye, who was originally aggressive, suddenly fell to the ground and screamed, rolled around, and finally rolled his eyes, foamed at the mouth, twitched all over, and remained motionless, really left a psychological shadow on a group of six-year-old kids.
