Will of Fire

The will of fire is a recurring element through the Naruto series. It is a philosophy held by Hashirama Senju that has been passed on to many ninja from Konohagakure. The will of fire states that every Leaf shinobi must love, believe and fight for the village's sake, as many generations did before them. Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shikamaru Nara and Naruto Uzumaki are three shinobi who have explicitly fought motivated by the will of fire.
