Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

"And I, as Tsunade's disciple and the Hokage's grand-disciple, hereby swear that I will remember the Will of Fire and become its promoter, inheritor, and practitioner."

"Fulfill your ninja duties, carry out Konoha's decisions, and strictly abide by Konoha's discipline."

"Strive for excellence, scale new heights, and become pillars of society that benefit Konoha and the ninja world!"

As the speech drew to a close, Baiyun Qingye's tone gradually rose.

Looking at the teachers, students, and parents below who were gradually being motivated by his inspirational speech, he raised his fist.

"I will study for the resurgence of Konoha!"

The words were spoken.

clap clap clap!

A round of enthusiastic applause immediately erupted!

All the children's sleepy expressions vanished, their faces flushed, and their expressions became excited.

Shouting loudly.

Seeing the excited looks on the children's faces, Bai Yunqingye also smiled.

It seems he has quite a talent for public speaking.

After the speech, Baiyun Qingye walked towards the rest area next to her.

From a great distance, he could see Hiruzen Sarutobi's mouth stretched almost to his ears in a wide grin.

"Qingye, your speech was even more brilliant than I had imagined."

Hiruzen Sarutobi patted Aoba Shirakumo on the shoulder; he was genuinely happy.

Study for the resurgence of Konoha.

This is the true inheritor of the Will of Fire.

Talented, thoughtful, cultured, and disciplined—that's exactly the kind of pillar of society Konoha lacks!

Today's speech should inspire more people to contribute to the future of Konoha.

After Shirokumo Aoba stepped down from the podium, Sarutobi Hiruzen went up to him.

Looking at the children below who were still excited, and having heard such a wonderful speech, he couldn't stop wanting to tell the story.

"Qingye's speech was excellent; even this old man couldn't help but get excited. Now, let me say a few more words..."

……

An hour later.

"Where leaves dance, fire will never cease; the flames will illuminate the village and cause new leaves to sprout—this is the Will of Fire!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's speech has finally come to an end, and today's opening ceremony speech has come to a successful close.

Looking at those little hands that were swollen from clapping and their eyes filled with tears, it was clear that they were moved by the "sun-like" radiance.

After the lecture, the returning students began their classes, and the new students were divided into classes.

As expected, Baiyun Qingye and the others were all assigned to the same class.

Apart from Neji Hyuga and Rock Lee, who enrolled a year earlier, the remaining members of the Konoha Twelve were all gathered in this class.

This is truly the princeling class.

"Come on, come on, let's sit here together!"

"Aoba-kun, may we sit here?"

"No!" x4

"Going to school is such a hassle..."

A boy with a pineapple-shaped haircut walked into the classroom, looking very unmotivated.

After scanning the classroom, he led a chubby little boy to the last row.

But when they arrived, they suddenly realized that there were already people there.

"Huh? Shino, when did you get here?"

Shikamaru was somewhat surprised; even though he was used to it, he was still taken aback.

Shino adjusted his sunglasses. "I was the first one here."

"..."

"Okay, you don't mind if we sit here, do you?"

Shino didn't say anything, but silently moved a few places further inside.

Shikamaru and Choji sat down.

Choji immediately pulled a bag of potato chips out of his bag. "Shikamaru, I just saw Ino. Should we go say hello?"

Shikamaru lay sprawled on the table, seemingly still half asleep. "Never mind, she's probably glued to that troublesome guy, Shirakumo Aoba, right now."

"Shirokumo Aoba... that speech was really amazing. Ino... the girl with white eyes, the girl with pink hair, and the girl with a bun... so many girls were sitting next to him."

Choji's eyes widened. "Naruto Uzumaki and a black-haired boy are sitting there too!"

Shikamaru looked up and glanced at the two boys.

"This is really troublesome."

Shikamaru didn't even dare to imagine that if he were surrounded by so many people, he would probably feel suffocated.

Baiyun Qingye is indeed finding things quite troublesome now.

It seems that because of his speech this morning, coupled with his sunny and handsome appearance, he is now very popular in the class, especially among the girls.

Everyone wanted to sit next to him.

Tenten, Ino, Sakura, and Hinata simply exchanged glances and understood each other's meaning.

They formed an unbreakable alliance.

On the matter of uniting against external forces, they have always been in complete agreement.

Four people are already enough, we can't add any more!

After a brief exchange of glances, Hinata and Sakura sat down somewhat aggrievedly in front of Shirakumo Aoba, while Tenten and Ino sat on either side.

Naruto and Sasuke sat together behind Shirokumo Aoba.

Many people originally wanted to sit with Sasuke, but Naruto had an aura that kept strangers at bay.

"Why not? What right do you have to stop us from sitting next to Aoba-kun?"

"Yeah, do you live by the sea? Why are you being so nosy?"

Having just been firmly rejected by the four girls, a few of the bolder ones became unhappy and tried to force their way to sit next to Baiyun Qingye.

"We're not letting you sit!"

The four of them were equally unwilling to give an inch.

All four of them were skilled in martial arts, and no matter how hard these little girls tried, they couldn't beat them.

"Who are you to Aoba-kun? What gives you the right to tell us what to do?"

Seeing that they couldn't win the argument, the little girls all felt a bit aggrieved.

"Qingye, tell them, what are we to you?"

Tian Tian nudged Bai Yun Qingye with her left elbow, feeling that the other party should give a statement on this matter.

Baiyun Qingye didn't hesitate and stood up immediately, his expression very serious.

"They are all girls I like!"

"?"

quiet!

Although Baiyun Qingye's voice wasn't loud, the whole classroom could hear it.

For a moment, the entire classroom fell into a deathly silence.

Even Shikamaru behind him couldn't help but raise his head, looking at the guy at the center of the world with admiration.

Baiyun Qingye's expression remained calm throughout.

The past is the past, the present is the present.

Don't apply the past to the present; he's not the same nobody with no background or power he used to be.

He has the strength and background now, he can even go head-to-head with Hiashi Hyuga without any problem. So what if I like him more?

Moreover, the four women are now getting along quite harmoniously. As long as Baiyun and Qingye can treat them equally, there won't be any "it's either her or me" kind of chaotic situation.

By clarifying things now and establishing the sovereign status of the four women, he can not only improve their favorability and promote harmony in the harem, but also avoid many problems.

He doesn't have the habit of having a fan club with him wherever he goes.

"Hmph! This guy who's only obsessed with girls will fall into my hands one day!"

Sasuke's displeased words broke the silence of the classroom.
