Chapter 356

In every single school, countless children are studying all manner of knowledge,

among which,

Yuezuki even saw a great deal of knowledge that had nothing to do with ninjutsu.

In his eyes, this was an incredible thing,

for apart from ninja,

everything else was useless,

this was a theorem in every single heart across the ninja world!!

But now, it seemed that was not quite the case.

And the expressions on Bai Lian and the others around him were hardly any better than Yuezuki's,

they had heard of an institution called a 'school' before,

but when they saw it with their own eyes,

it was an entirely different feeling!!!

When they first learned of it,

they had even disdained it,

thinking Hashirama Senju was simply wasting his time!!

It took years of education to properly raise a single child,

and they wouldn't even be combat-type ninja!!!

This was a thankless task in every sense,

it was bound to affect the nation's military system,

dragging the country's overall strength down sharply!!!

But when they saw this scene with their own eyes,

their hearts no longer thought that way,

for if, following Hashirama Senju's educational system,

these children were thoroughly raised into adults,

how terrifying would the talent pool of the Land of Fire become,

just thinking about that alone made their scalps tingle!!!

Even if Hashirama Senju were to pass away in the future,

the Land of Fire, relying on these cultivated children,

would still be a force that could not be ignored!!!

"Well… what do you all think of our Land of Fire's educational system?"

"This entire system was established by His Majesty Hashirama."

"We are merely following His Majesty Hashirama's requirements to perfect and operate it."

"Even so, I still find it somewhat incredible…"

"Once these tender young eagles have been tempered by time and grown up, they will be an incomparably tremendous force…"

As he spoke,

Nara Saki could not help but exclaim in admiration again and again!!

"Incredible…"

"I fear only Lord Hashirama could make such earth-shattering changes."

"Anyone else, even if this educational system were handed to us exactly as it is… we could never achieve this step."

Liedou gazed at the smiles on the children's faces in the school,

and could not help but sigh in admiration!!

At this moment, in his heart, beyond respect for Hashirama Senju there was only respect,

to completely overhaul an entire nation's operating system by one's own strength alone,

what kind of boldness and might did it take to accomplish this!!!

They also knew,

that letting children pick up weapons and go to the battlefield to fight was not the right thing,

but they had no choice,

this was the situation dictated by the world as it stood!!

Every country could only expand its military strength as much as possible,

letting everyone capable of fighting raise the weapons in their hands and march to the battlefield!!

After all, war was cruel,

once they lost a war,

the fate awaiting their nation was bound to be an exceedingly cruel one!!!

So no country dared hold back in wartime,

they all went all out!!

If the elderly, women, and infants had any combat ability,

they would probably even force them to pick up weapons and head to the battlefield!!

And the system Hashirama Senju had now established had overturned the understanding of every one of them,

only now did they realize that someone truly dared to do this!!

Spending such a long time and so much effort to cultivate children whose futures were unknown,

Apart from admiration for Hashirama Senju,

they didn't know what kind of feelings they could use to express it!!

【Jiraiya: Terrifying... If we follow this system set by the First Hokage, my lord, who knows how far these children could go in the future?】

【Orochimaru: The system established by the First is truly too comprehensive... It basically covers every aspect... According to his approach, as long as these children are willing to work hard, even if they have no talent as ninja, they can still have a decent future.】

【Tobirama Senju: The system Big Brother set up has basically no flaws except that the duration requirement is too long, but with him around, that isn't really a flaw either!!】

【Fourth Raikage: For the four great nations, this is a barefaced open scheme, but they have no choice but to refuse it...】

【Ōnoki: If they choose to refuse, what awaits them can only be destruction.】

【Terumi Mei: Merging entirely into the Land of Fire — isn't that a good thing for these countries? Don't you think the Land of Fire does better than us?】

【Rasa: I hope Hashirama Senju can improve the situation the Land of Wind has always been in; the current Land of Wind is truly too barren...】

【Nara Shikaku: This First Hokage, my lord, has redefined 'ninja' — it turns out that beyond combat, ninja have many more paths to grow on...】

【Minato Namikaze: I now believe that, in the coming era, combat-type ninja will probably be the most worthless and most useless kind of ninja...】

【Kakashi Hatake: Under the rule of this First Hokage, in the future, apart from the Ōtsutsuki clan in the sky, there will basically be no more wars... Naturally, combat-type ninja won't be of much use.】

Yotsuki and the others looked at the scene of the children studying inside the school,

then exchanged glances and sighed.

Now, even if Hashirama Senju didn't bring up letting them send their own country's children to the ninja school in the Land of Fire to study,

they would probably take the initiative to propose it themselves.

They were naturally not fools,

and could fully see just how terrifying Hashirama Senju's education system was!!!

"His Majesty Hashirama once said."

"He wanted to create a world without war... without famine."

"In this world, everyone's opportunities are equal."

"People aren't born divided into higher and lower ranks..."

"Even the child of an ordinary person has the chance to become a pillar of this nation."

"He hoped this would be an era where every person is like a dragon..."

Nara Saki kept telling them about Hashirama Senju's ambitions,

hoping they could understand Hashirama Senju's approach!!!

And the more Nara Saki said,

the more they could understand what kind of ambition and grand aspirations Hashirama Senju possessed,

if everything truly proceeded according to Hashirama Senju's plan.
