(Thanks to Blade-san for the love-fueled support, thanks to Feng He Qing Kong for the three love-fueled supports,)

For several days in a row, Mu was busy arranging the plans for Iwagakure.

The Anbu was officially established, with Mu personally selecting the members.

Of course, these were not what Mu was most concerned about. What Mu was most concerned about was the construction of the Ninja Academy.

After several days of accelerated construction,

Iwagakure’s first Ninja Academy was officially completed.

Mu first ordered people to compile a list of those willing to become ninjas.

This compilation showed that, except for those unable to extract chakra,

Everyone who could extract chakra wanted to become a ninja and attend the Ninja Academy. A total of three hundred students met the standards.

After all, becoming a ninja was the only way for these commoners to cross classes.

Mu was not surprised by this.

“Who should serve as the principal of this Ninja Academy?”

Mu hesitated slightly.

If Onoki were older, perhaps Onoki could be competent, but Onoki was too young, so he was directly excluded.

Then there was Ishigawa, but Ishigawa was the Tsuchikage, and it wasn’t appropriate for him to concurrently serve as the principal of a Ninja Academy. Moreover, Ishigawa was about to retire, and pulling out that old man again would be too shabby.

After some thought, Mu made a decisive decision.

He directly appointed himself as the first principal of the Ninja Academy!

He would personally cultivate the next generation of Iwagakure successors.

Any matter, only by personally handling it, would it be reliable.

………

The next day, Iwagakure Ninja Academy was officially established and directly began its opening ceremony!

The full name of Iwagakure Ninja Academy was Iwagakure Ninja Training School.

“Today, on this bright and sunny day, approved by Lord Mu, with the site selected by Lord Mu, the Ninja Training School constructed by Iwagakure Engineering is officially established! Now, Lord Mu will speak!”

Amidst the extremely enthusiastic applause of Iwagakure residents,

Mu slowly walked onto the high platform.

Looking at the children and Iwagakure residents below the stage,

After a dry cough, Mu began to expound on the Will of Stone he had created!

“On the day this Ninja Academy is established, what I want to say is that our new generation of Iwagakure must possess the Will of Stone!”

“The so-called Will of Stone is to be unyielding and indomitable!”

“The Will of Stone, when facing a strong enemy, is a tenacious defense line, unshakeable like a rock wall.”

“Never retreat a single step due to the enemy’s strength; when executing missions, it is a solid and steady style of action, like a rock, completing the mission in the most reliable way.”

“The Will of Stone must be passed down from generation to generation. The older generation of ninjas will pass on their experience and beliefs to the younger generation, like layers of rock accumulating.”

“The new generation of ninjas will follow in the footsteps of their predecessors, carving new marks on the rocks, making this will stretch endlessly like a mountain range, allowing Iwagakure to stand forever at the pinnacle of the ninja world under the protection of the Will of Stone!”

Not only were the children below the stage shining with the light of yearning,

Even some young people and old people who had emerged from the turbulent era shone with excitement, as if they saw a path filled with boundless glory!

Warm applause rang out again!

“The Will of Stone… indomitable! Unyielding! Teacher spoke so well!!!”

Onoki, who was in the distance, looked at Mu with an excited and worshipful expression.

Ishigawa nodded in admiration.

As expected of Mu… I had a feeling this guy could serve as Iwagakure’s strategist back then.

“Onoki, you must learn well from your teacher!”

“Learn his Dust Release, learn his (speech) ability, learn his wisdom, and even more, learn his Will of Stone!”

Ishigawa solemnly patted Onoki and instructed him.

He had high hopes for Onoki, otherwise, he wouldn’t have handed him over to Mu for training.

Onoki nodded in agreement.

His teacher had too much for him to learn!

In Onoki’s eyes, there was no perfect person in the world.

But his teacher was an exception!

His teacher was a perfect person!

“Alright, alright…”

Mu waved his hand at the crowd and smiled slightly, very satisfied with the effect.

The next generation of children would definitely worship him as a god!

In the future, in the history books of Iwagakure, his glory would definitely be greater than that of the First Tsuchikage, Ishigawa!

Mu paused and continued,

“From today on, you will learn various skills such as ninjutsu, taijutsu, and theory in this Ninja Academy.”

“But remember, skills are just tools.”

“The Will of Stone is your soul. In the days to come, various challenges will await you. Only by adhering to the Will of Stone can you become true Iwagakure ninjas.”

As soon as his voice fell,

A child in the crowd timidly raised his hand.

Mu raised an eyebrow and then motioned,

“What’s wrong? Speak, it’s okay, feel free to speak your mind, you can ask any questions directly.”

Mu valued freedom of speech.

Even if you shouted “Down with Lord Mu” in Iwagakure, Mu would allow such speech to exist.

Accepting all criticism was a basic principle of a village.

The child stood up nervously.

Then he asked somewhat nervously, “Lord Mu, if we encounter an enemy we can’t defeat, should we still insist on fighting?”

As soon as these words came out,

The residents and ninjas immediately became polarized!

“Nonsense! Isn’t that a basic quality of a ninja? Even if you can’t win, you still have to fight. At worst, you die honorably. Are you a coward, child?!”

“I object, don’t you think that’s too crazy? They are just children!”

“Hmph! We came out of the chaotic era. Back then, every child could turn into an explosive tag and act as a human bomb!”

The crowd below discussed animatedly.

Some who came from the chaotic era believed that ninjas were meant to face death, and if they couldn’t win, they should die honorably and become human bombs.

Other residents thought that was too crazy, as they were just children, and they should learn to protect themselves.

Mu didn’t ponder, just smiled slightly.

He directly gave the answer!

“The Will of Stone is not about blindly rushing forward, but about calmly thinking in difficulties and finding solutions to problems. If the enemy is too strong, preserving strength is also a kind of wisdom!”

“But the belief in your heart must never waver.”

Mu directly gave the official answer to everyone!

The child nodded as if understanding, then sat down.

“Finally, I want to propose a motto for the Ninja Academy!”

Mu smiled and moved a large stone to the entrance of the Ninja Academy.

Then he directly condensed chakra at his fingertips and began to write the motto!

Everyone held their breath, looking forward to what kind of motto Mu would propose.

“The motto I want to give everyone has only eight characters!”

“That is: Gong Bu Tang Juan, Yu Ru Yu Cheng!” (No effort goes to waste, and perseverance leads to success)

“Many people might not know what this means, so I will explain it!”

“Gong Bu Tang Juan: Efforts in the world will not be in vain; they will definitely be rewarded.”

“Yu Ru Yu Cheng: In difficult conditions, constantly sculpt yourself like jade, and you will definitely be rewarded.”

Mu powerfully wrote the school motto, and thunderous applause erupted again from the audience.

The children’s eyes were filled with longing for the future, determined to study hard in the ninja school and practice the Will of Stone.
