Naruto: Thousand Hands of Glory

"What? Uncle Sandaime, let me manage the Ninja School for a period of time? Let me be the principal?" There was a hint of surprise and uncertainty in Yanagishita's voice.

The Third Hokage smiled slightly, his eyes sparkling with wisdom, and at the same time, his fingers tapped the pipe in his hand. "No, Yanagishita, not to be the principal, but I think the ninja school needs a little younger change now. Where the leaves are flying, the fire will also continue to burn. The flames will continue to illuminate the village and let the new leaves sprout. The ninja school also needs younger opinions." As he said, the Third Hokage lit his pipe, took a deep breath, and exhaled a wisp of light smoke. "Besides, you completed your task in the last Chunin Exam very well, and the surrounding countries that were originally wavering are firmly on our side."

Liu Xia was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "Younger opinions? Come on, uncle, I'm new to practice. Ah, I've only been studying for two and a half years. I know nothing about education and management."

The Third Hokage patted Yanagi's shoulder gently and encouraged him, "Yagi, don't underestimate yourself. Your wisdom, courage and leadership are what the ninja school needs. I believe you can bring new vitality to the school and inspire the potential of young ninjas. In short, everything is up to you. Your task force is still being arranged. You will be in charge of the ninja school for a while. It's a good opportunity to inspire your younger classmates and let them feel the will of fire. This is your mission."

Yanagishita opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but the Third Hokage interrupted him with a firm tone, "No buts, go and carry out the mission, Yanagishita Chunin, obey the arrangements of the village!"

Liu Xia nodded helplessly, "Okay, Uncle Third Generation, when will I report?"

"I have already talked to them. You will be in charge of the Will of Fire work for Kushina's term." The Third Hokage's tone carried a hint of unquestionable determination.

"Ah?" Liuxia opened his mouth in surprise.

"Ah, what? That's it. Go and report. Prepare well. I'll let them give you a certain degree of freedom." The Third Hokage waved his hand, indicating that Yanagishita could leave. At the same time, he took a deep puff of his pipe again, immersed in his own thoughts.

Yanagishita had no choice but to accept the order. Although he was a little nervous, he also felt a little excited. He thought to himself, this is not only a new challenge, but also a teacher-student and sibling relationship. It's too exciting. He can also observe Minato to see if he has any bad intentions towards his sister. He took a deep breath, straightened his back, and promised in a firm tone: "Yes, Third Hokage, I will do my best to complete the task!"

The Third Hokage was very satisfied with his arrangement, thinking to himself: Yanagishita is still just a child after all, and children are always full of potential and need proper guidance. The Will of Fire will influence him and make him grow into a pillar of the village. It was a great idea to let him accept the teaching work of the Will of Fire. The process of preparing lessons is naturally the process of being influenced. In order to prevent him from refusing, he was specially arranged to be in Kushina's class, so that he would have a stronger sense of responsibility and mission.

The more the Third Hokage thought about it, the more he felt that he was just like the living Zhuge Liang. He gently blew away the smoke from his pipe, held the pipe contentedly in his mouth, took out the crystal ball from the drawer, and prepared to "inspect" the village to see if the village was developing vigorously.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the door turned into a meteor and flew out. The Third Hokage was about to get angry when he heard Tsunade's familiar voice.

"Old man, we are back! Hey, you were peeping again, why don't you take a break and do something?" Tsunade saw the Third Hokage staring at the crystal ball again, and she knew that he was conducting the so-called "patrol" again.

"Old man, what interesting things are you looking at this time? You said you would teach me your telescope technique! You always eat alone, take me with you." Jiraiya looked excited, while Orochimaru, who was standing quietly beside him, looked at them speechlessly, thinking to himself: What kind of people are these? It's just fun to experiment. I have been on a mission for so long that I don't even know what happened to my babies.

"Ahem," the Third Hokage was so angry at Tsunade and her group that he kept coughing, "Tsunade, how many times have I told you to knock on the door? I was just inspecting the village! The money for repairing the door this time will be deducted from your mission reward! Anyway, you'll be gambling away if you take it."

"I just had bad luck at the moment!" Tsunade was furious and deducted her own money. What a stingy person she was.

The Third Hokage turned to look at Jiraiya and pushed him away in disgust, "Enough, Jiraiya, I've already told you that the telescope technique can only be mastered by the Hokage and used to patrol the village!"

"Tsk, stingy old man!" Jiraiya muttered with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

The Third Hokage looked at his favorite student, Orochimaru, the most well-behaved of the three, and felt that Orochimaru was the best. Although he didn't know that Orochimaru might be silently complaining about him in his heart, "It's just right that you are back. I have something to discuss with you."

While the Third Hokage and the future Sannin were conspiring in the office, Yanagishita had already walked briskly to the gate of the Ninja School. Looking at this gate that had witnessed his growth for two and a half years, he felt an irrepressible excitement in his heart and couldn't help but want to show off a self-created singing and dancing R-ninjutsu.

However, the school was already past the time to arrive, and the campus was quiet, with only the occasional sound of birds chirping. Liu Xia was about to push the door open when he suddenly heard a call.

"Little classmate, come here." Yanagishita turned around and saw the old ninja who had been guarding the gate for many years. It was said that he had been here since the founding of Konoha Village, guarding this entrance silently. Later, the second generation Hokage established the Ninja School and transferred him to guard the school gate, and he had been guarding for countless years.

"Uncle security guard, what's the matter?" Liu Xia walked over with a hint of doubt.

"My dear little classmate, you are late. Come here and register your name." The old ninja's voice was hoarse but carried an unquestionable seriousness.

"Uncle, it's me, Liuxia! Don't you recognize me?" Liuxia was a little amused. After all, he was a celebrity in the village, but he was regarded as a late student.

"Liu what?" The old ninja frowned, obviously unfamiliar with Liu Xia's name.

"Liuxia!" Liuxia raised his voice, hoping that the old man could hear him clearly this time.

"What next?!" The old ninja still didn't seem to understand and looked confused.

Liuxia sighed helplessly, secretly laughing at the fact that his reputation had no effect on the old man. He leaned down, got close to the old ninja's ear, and said word by word: "Uncle, I am Liuxia. I graduated some time ago and I said goodbye to you!"

The old ninja blinked, as if trying to recall, and then suddenly slapped his head: "Oh, Nawaki, you have graduated, why are you here? You are not allowed to go in after graduation!"

Apparently, the old ninja still didn't remember Yanagishita, but confused him with Nawaki. Yanagishita was about to explain when he heard a familiar voice: "Yanagishita, you're here, why don't you go in? I thought the Third Generation didn't tell you." The leader of the Ninja School came out and saw Yanagishita still talking to the security guard at the door.

Liuxia turned around and said to the leader with a smile: "Ah, it's okay, I chatted with the old man for a few words. We will go in now."

"Good Le!"

The old ninja finally smiled. Although he hadn't fully understood the situation, he felt relieved after seeing the interaction between Yanagishita and his leader, and continued to lie down in the rocking chair.

The leader took Liuxia for a walk in the familiar campus, passing the training grounds and classrooms that he had visited countless times, each of which was full of memories. Then, they came to an area that Liuxia had never been to before - the office area. It was quiet and solemn, in stark contrast to the campus life he had experienced before. Liuxia, a good student, had never been here before, but Shengshu must be very familiar with it. He was just curious, and then he heard that the leader had almost finished talking, so he hurried to take it seriously.

Just as Liuxia was immersed in his curiosity about the new environment, his leader's words interrupted his thoughts: "In short, you will lead two classes, mainly teaching the Will of Fire. This is your office, and the textbooks are all here. Come on, I'll take you to meet the students in the class."

When Yanagishita heard that he was going to meet students, he felt an irrepressible excitement in his heart. He imagined the expressions of Kushina and other students when they saw him becoming their school's temporary teacher, and he couldn't help but smile in anticipation.

"Okay, leader. I can't wait to meet them." Liu Xia's voice was full of enthusiasm and energy.

The leader nodded, seeming to be satisfied with Liu Xia's attitude: "Very good, I believe you can inspire the potential of the students and help them better understand the Will of Fire."

They walked through the corridor and arrived at the classroom door. The leader knocked gently on the door, then opened it and introduced the students: "Students, this is your new teacher, Liu Xia. He will be responsible for teaching you the next course."

Yanagishita walked into the classroom, his eyes sweeping over the young faces, their eyes full of curiosity and expectation. When Yanagishita's eyes met Kushina's, he saw the surprise and joy in her eyes.
