“I will become the first Uchiha Hokage, and then end the war and bring peace to the ninja world.”
Chen Yue’s statement caused everyone in the classroom to start discussing again.
“So amazing, Chen Yue-kun is not only handsome, but his dream is also great.”
Yugao, who already had a good impression of him because of his appearance, now liked Chen Yue even more.
“Hmm hmm!”
Rin and Shizune nodded heavily, their big eyes staring fixedly at the boy in the back.
Their feelings were even deeper than Yugao’s. For them, who had experienced the cruelty of war and hated it, Chen Yue’s dream of ending war resonated deeply.
“Damn it, that guy is stealing the spotlight again.”
Seeing the reactions of Yugao and Rin, both Asuma Sarutobi and Obito were extremely displeased.
Especially Uchiha Obito. Back in the family’s pre-school training class, his biggest complaint was that everyone surrounded Chen Yue. Could it be that this situation still hasn’t changed now that they’re at the Ninja Academy?
“Becoming Hokage? That Uchiha’s dream is pretty cool.”
Yamakaze Kenichi, with his bright yellow hair, said excitedly after hearing Chen Yue’s dream: “Shikamaru, Choji, I’ve decided, I’m going to change my dream. I’m going to be Hokage too.”
“Good luck.”
Nara Shikamaru, lying on the table, was uninterested. Becoming Hokage was too much trouble.
The plump Akimichi Choji, upon hearing this, asked back: “Can you eat all kinds of different foods every day as Hokage?”
“You idiot, who wants to be Hokage just to eat?”
…
Although it had only been a short time since the school term began, various small circles had already formed in the classroom.
For example, the small circle of Rin, Yugao, and Shizune, the small circle of the three members of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, and the small circle of three civilian children.
“It’s as expected of the children of big families, their dreams are all to become Hokage.” Three boys wearing blue headbands huddled together and whispered. Among them, Ino Shikamaru, with a wooden kunai in his mouth and a rather handsome appearance, asked the other two: “Ebisu, Ibiki, what do you think?”
Ebisu, also wearing a headband, nodded and said: “After all, he’s from the Uchiha, the most prestigious family in Konoha.”
Although their reputation was not good, the Uchiha were currently recognized as the most prestigious family in Konoha, and this was undeniable. Even ordinary people like Ino Shikamaru and Ebisu knew this.
However, Morino Ibiki, who had a rather ferocious appearance but was also wearing a headband, retorted: “But, why wasn’t that Uchiha’s dream to become Hokage before?”
“Er…”
Both Ino Shikamaru and Ebisu were silenced by the question.
“Hokage as a goal?”
Over here, looking at Chen Yue who had sat back down after introducing himself, Hatake Kakashi thought of what his father had said before, thinking: “I wonder how strong he is? He said something like that, he must be very confident in his talent.”
…
Chen Yue saw most of the reactions from everyone.
Honestly, it was within his expectations to cause such a reaction.
Especially when he realized that in the introductions of those in front of him, none of their dreams was to become Hokage, he understood the impact of revealing his own dream.
Though Chen Yue was a bit surprised that none of them had the dream of being Hokage, was it because everyone now hadn’t been through the baptism of the Will of Fire?
But even realizing that his words might cause a lot of attention, he had no intention of changing his statement.
He didn’t plan to back down, but instead wanted to openly display his thoughts. This was the decision Chen Yue made after understanding the strength of the Uchiha in this world and the current time.
After seeing the attitude of the Konoha villagers at the school gate plaza, Chen Yue became even more determined in this idea.
The fear of the villagers made him realize the gap between the clan and the villagers, but it also made Chen Yue realize the power of the clan in Konoha at this time.
This fear of the villagers could sometimes turn into hatred, but sometimes it could also turn into compliance, it all depended on whether the power could be maintained strongly.
The gap between the Uchiha and the villagers was indeed a problem that needed to be changed, but not now.
With the current Konoha leadership’s fear and hostility towards the Uchiha, let alone whether change could really achieve good results.
Even if it could achieve good results, making a sudden change would only invite greater hostility and targeting from the Konoha leadership, because they would not let things develop as the Uchiha hoped.
Only after eliminating the current Konoha leadership, becoming the new ruler of Konoha, and then dealing with the relationship between the clan and the villagers would it be smooth.
And to eliminate the current Konoha leadership, hiding and secretly developing was one way, but Chen Yue felt it wasn’t suitable for him.
The proud Uchiha, the high-profile Uchiha, this had become a label of the Uchiha, even forming a stereotype in the hearts of most people.
Not only did others in the village think this way, but the Uchiha themselves thought so too.
Under such circumstances, as Chen Yue, who was determined to unite the power of the Uchiha for his own use, if he was too low-key and secretly developed, he would not be able to gain the recognition of the clan.
Similarly, for the Konoha leadership, the proud, arrogant, and arrogant Uchiha were the normal Uchiha, if a low-key, ordinary Uchiha appeared, it would be an anomaly that would draw attention.
Moreover, Chen Yue didn’t think that with his identity as the direct descendant of the Uchiha clan, he could really gain the time to secretly develop by being low-key.
Although he was indeed in great need of time to grow now, waiting for his Mangekyo Sharingan to evolve, waiting for his strength to become stronger, this did not require him to secretly develop.
Because the Uchiha were currently very powerful, not the time period around the Uchiha clan’s extermination in the original story, a time of internal and external troubles, and he wasn’t some marginal figure in the clan, so the clan had enough strength to protect him, giving him enough time to grow.
Under these circumstances, what did he have to fear?
Why be sneaky?
Moreover, in terms of the overall environment, the Second Shinobi World War had just ended, and the Third Shinobi World War was about to break out a few years later. In this situation, would the Konoha leadership dare to start an internal war?
Furthermore, the current prestige of the Uchiha in the village was still far from the situation after the Nine-Tailed Fox attack in the original story. In this situation, would the Konoha leadership be able to get the support of others if they went to war with the Uchiha?
Especially the other big families, wouldn’t they be worried that after the Uchiha, it would be their turn next?
Therefore, Chen Yue was completely fearless now. Even if he openly said that he wanted to be Hokage, what could the current Konoha leadership do to him?
