Konoha Steady King

Uchiha Fugaku vented for a while and felt much more relaxed physically and mentally. He picked up the tea cup and took a big sip and said: "The Senju clan is now in a weak position. Even if it steps on the stage again, it is not necessarily a bad thing."

His idea is very simple. The Senju clan and the Uchiha clan have been fighting for nearly a thousand years. They know each other thoroughly, so they are naturally not afraid of the other party's rise again, even if the Senju clan's main target is their own family.

Ye Shan put down the tea cup and said coldly: "Do you really think that?"

"Is there any other hidden secret here?"

Uchiha Fugaku is good at everything, but his political sense is not very keen, or he is used to accepting the situation and does not know how to break the current situation.

Hayama felt a little helpless, but at the same time a little lucky. The more Uchiha Fugaku was like this, the more he could highlight his role and reflect his value.

"If I remember correctly, the Hyuga clan was a die-hard supporter of the Senju clan. Aren't you afraid of them joining forces?"

Hayama is definitely not being alarmist. After all these years of assuming power, how could Sarutobi Hiruzen not think of the Senju clan's current predicament? If the Senju clan was to come back, how could he not give it one or two powerful assistants?

Once the Senju clan and the Hyuga clan unite, it's hard to say who will have the last laugh, but they will undoubtedly fall into the trap of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"I think what we have to do now is control the variables."

"Control variables?" Uchiha Fugaku was a little confused.

"Yes, the Thousand Hands Clan must never let them come back. This is the control variable."

Hayama paused, observed Uchiha Fugaku's face, and continued: "Judging from the current situation in the village, no family can compare to Uchiha. As long as we control the variable factors, we can ensure the next struggle. It’s all unfolding within the current forces, so there’s nothing to be afraid of.”

Uchiha Fugaku suddenly understood, and then asked: "But the comeback of the Senju clan was decided by Sarutobi Hiruzen, how can we control it?"

Ye Shan dipped his finger in water, drew a circle on the table, and said: "The interests in the village are fixed, just like this circle, and are distributed according to a certain proportion every year. This distribution method lasted for five or six years. Now, the ninja clan, big and small, have long been used to it."

Then, Hayama crossed out a corner of the circle with his finger and said: "If the Thousand Hands clan wants to come back, they must share the resources and interests in the village. Then this distribution balance will be broken. No matter which family it is, the one who gets it will Things must diminish.”

"Once interests are involved, Fugaku, do you think those Ninja sects will make a smooth comeback because they worship the glory of the Senju clan?"

It's like Konoha Village is a cake, and Hiruzen Sarutobi is the one who cuts the cake. Now he wants to add someone to enjoy the cake together, which will inevitably lead to the original people getting less cake, unless he can create something out of nothing. Give that person a new piece of cake.

Uchiha Fugaku nodded. He understood this, but how to stop it?

Naturally, Ye Shan would not let him ask, and directly expressed his thoughts.

"The key to the comeback of the Senju Clan is not the support of Hiruzen Sarutobi, but its unparalleled reputation."

"Even if the Thousand Hands Clan fades out of people's sight, it is still the founder of the village and has made an indelible contribution to the development of the village. No one can deny this."

"If Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly announces the return of the Senju clan at the Jonin meeting, no one in the Ninja clan, big or small, would be dissatisfied, but no one would dare to refute it face to face. Otherwise, if word spreads, a reputation of ungratefulness will not escape."

"But what if we spread the news that the Senju Clan is coming back?"

A sly smile flashed across Ye Shan's face. A secret is no longer a secret when it is exposed to the sun.

Uchiha Keiji was confused after hearing this, and couldn't help but ask: "But those Ninja clan know very well that the purpose of the Senju clan's comeback is to suppress Uchiha, maybe they will choose to support it for the sake of profit. After all, Uchiha is going to come back." The benefits of the wave will flow into their pockets.”

Hayama chuckled lightly and said: "Those small families are not worth mentioning. As long as the Hyuga and Uchiha clans oppose it, the comeback of the Senju clan will be impossible."

"But why do the Hyuga clan oppose it?" Uchiha Keiji asked again.

"Because the Hyuga clan also wants to compete for the throne of the first family!"

Hayama's words were not shocking and he would not stop until he died, which made Uchiha Fugaku's heart skip a beat and he felt a deep crisis.

The Rinnegan, Sharingan, and Byakugan are known as the three major pupil techniques in the ninja world. Among them, the Rinnegan is the legendary pupil technique only possessed by the Six Paths Immortals. It has been heard as a story, but the Sharingan and Byakugan are still in the ninja world today. Spread, blood continues.

The functions of the Sharingan and the Byakugan are different, and they play different roles on the battlefield. Generally speaking, the Byakugan has a higher priority than the Sharingan. After all, it is a radar with no blind spots, which is simply cheating.

Uchiha Fugaku was thoughtful, holding the teacup in his hand and playing with it, and after a moment he said: "I know what to do."

Ye Shan smiled slightly, did not speak, but poured another cup of tea and sipped it.

Uchiha Fugaku stood up and said: "This matter should be done sooner rather than later. I will go back and ask my father to hold a clan meeting. The sooner the Hyuga clan agrees, the better."

Hayama nodded, but stopped Uchiha Fugaku, pointed to Uchiha Keiji sitting next to him and said: "This is your cousin, let him be the deputy minister, right?"

Uchiha Keiji hurriedly stood up, his face full of embarrassment, and he complained in his heart that what Hayama said was too straightforward.

Uchiha Fugaku said without thinking, "Cousin Keiji has been wandering around for a long time in the past few years and has made a lot of contributions to the family. He is worthy of the position of Deputy Minister of Security."

"Tomorrow I will ask someone to take over the work of the prison. At seven o'clock the day after tomorrow, I also ask cousin Qizhi to report to the security department on time."

Uchiha Keiji nodded excitedly, the pleasure of having his long-cherished wish come true filled his body, making it difficult to speak.

...........

Three months of imprisonment ended quickly. Accompanied by Deputy Minister Uchiha Keiji, Hayama walked out of this prison located on the southernmost side of Konoha, feeling as if he was separated from the rest of the world.

Uchiha Keiji said with a smile on his face: "I have prepared wine and food at home tonight, and called a few friends to help you catch the wind and wash away the dust. Hayama, you must come and show your face."

Ye Shan smiled and said: "It's still early. I'll go to the hospital to visit my mother first. I haven't seen her for three months and you know how her health is."

"You can rest assured that she is in good health. When I went to visit her a few days ago, I found that she had gained some weight."

In fact, Uchiha Keiji is 40 years old this year. He is similar in age to Hayama's mother, so there is no reason to visit.

Ye Shan knew that this was an act of gratitude from the other party and thanked him repeatedly.

The two parted ways at the entrance of the prison. As for Chinatsu Ide, she was still living in the cell, but the living conditions were even better than outside.After a while, after the limelight has passed, Ye Shan will naturally not treat her badly and make proper arrangements.

Ye Shan remembered all the people who were kind to him in the past, and he did not forget any of his enemies.

Repay kindness with kindness, repay hatred with hatred, nothing more than this.

Hayama did not come to the hospital to visit his mother as he said, but instead changed direction and came to visit Yamashiro Chen first.

Three months have passed, and the weeds on Shancheng Chen's grave have grown very luxuriantly under the influence of spring, making it a mess. Even the tombstone is covered with a layer of dust.

Hayama took off his standard vest, took out a kunai, and quickly cleared away the weeds.

Soon, the weeds on the tomb were cleared away. Ye Shan took off the tight shirt he was wearing and came to the Nanhe River shirtless. He planned to dip his shirt in some water to wipe the dust on the tombstone, but he didn't want to. I saw a lone figure.

This small figure held a miniature fishing rod in his hand and was concentrating on fishing. He was completely unaware that a person was standing behind him.

Hayama looked at the child fishing and couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts. This child was Hatake Kakashi, Hatake Sakumo's only son.

After a long time, the fish float floating on the water suddenly moved a few times, and then sank suddenly. Kakashi's eyes were filled with joy, and he raised the fishing rod without hesitation, and a greedy fish was pulled into the air by him.

The fish left the water, shaking its body constantly, trying to break away from the thin fishing line that bound it, but in vain, and was finally pulled to the shore by Kakashi.

Kakashi put down the fishing rod, picked up a knife by his side, and neatly disembowelled the fish. It was obviously not the first time he had done this.

"cough"

A slight cough sounded, and Kakashi was startled. He turned around with the fish in one hand and the knife in the other, and saw Hayama who had been observing for a long time.

There was a little mist in Kakashi's eyes, but he stubbornly turned his head and said nothing, still squatting there and handling the fish seriously.

Kakashi's expression was caught by Hayama's eyes, which made him feel distressed.

What a pair of eyes these are, they should not appear on a child at all.Those eyes were mixed with loneliness, mixed with vicissitudes of life, and even more lifeless.

Just like the eyes of a dead fish, yes, just like the eyes of a dead fish!

Hayama couldn't suppress the pity in his heart, stepped forward, snatched the fish from Kakashi's hand, and handled it with no shirt.

"Do you eat fish every day?"

Kakashi wiped the corners of his eyes and said indifferently: "What does it have to do with you?"

Ye Shan felt sad in his heart, but he couldn't show it. He said forcefully: "I am the caregiver designated by your father before his death. Why is it none of my business?"

"Don't mention that person, I don't want to hear it."

"pat"

The fish in Hayama's hand fell to the ground and was stained with a lot of mud. Kakashi's words kept echoing in his mind, and he stared at the child in front of him in stunned silence, unwilling to believe that these words could come from Kakashi's words. Say it from your mouth.

"Those who do not follow the rules and abandon their mission are not worthy of being called ninjas!"

Hayama was furious, and he stretched out his right hand and raised it high, about to give Kakashi a big mouth, but stopped when he reached his face.

He is obviously a child!This age is the time when youth is active and striving for progress, and it is also the time when respecting teachers and cultivating values ​​is the time to say disrespectful words to your biological father!

Hayama put down his right hand dejectedly, looking sadly at the stubborn Kakashi in front of him, his heart filled with sadness.

Have you seen Hatake Sakumo, have you seen what your son has become now?Have you seen what has become of the village you once dedicated yourself to?Have you seen how the way of tolerance that you have to carry out even if you risk your life has been ruined?

The past reappeared in Hayama's mind, and Hatake Sakumo's voice seemed to echo in his ears again. It contained the emotions of a ninja and the love of a father.

But it's useless, everything is in vain, everything changes in time, and the ninja who protects it with life becomes worthless!

Ye Shan was confused. He looked up at the sun. Although the sun was very hot, he still felt cold all over.

“That’s not the case, that’s not the case at all!!!”

Hayama roared, roaring in Kakashi's frightened eyes, like a beast on the verge of extinction.

"Your father was a great ninja, not at all what you think."

"He died for his companions and the village. Do you understand?"

Kakashi shrank his neck, not daring to say a word.

Hayama's voice faltered, and he resented those who slandered Hatake Sakumo. To him, Hatake Sakumo's reputation and nindo were things he wanted to achieve but could not do anyway. They were great. , is sacred.

Hayama's beloved ninja, the way of ninja he longed for, was now denied by his blood relatives, making him feel powerless.

When people are young, they do not have independent values ​​and outlook on life, and are most easily misled by others. Moreover, once a deformed view is formed, it will be difficult to change.

Hayama underestimated the dangers of people's hearts, and even more underestimated the bottom line of some people.
