Konoha Steady King

Chapter 121 The Promise Once

In the 42nd year of Konoha, Hayama once swore in the ancestral hall of the Hatake clan that he would wash away the rumors left by that man in his lifetime. Over the years, he has not dared to forget it for a moment. He even indirectly killed Yamashiro Tatsu for his oath. .

At the Jonin Conference three months ago, Hayama's words of Jedi counterattack successfully forced the village to make concessions on what happened to Hatake Sakumo, acknowledge his achievements, promote his bravery, and use the power of an ordinary ninja to Reburied to the highest standards.

Hayama was filled with joy and naively believed that Hatake Sakumo's reputation could just fall into the dust. He would go down in history as a great ninja and leave a model for future generations to learn from.

But everything changed at the Nanhe River. What Hayama did did not have any effect. God seemed to be mocking him, prompting Kakashi to say the words that made him heartbroken.

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

This sentence not only denies Hatake Sakumo's heroic and great life, but also denies Hayama's several years of hard work and denies Yamashiro Tatsu's life.

The old vows still echoed in his ears, like a slap in the face, which made Ye Shan feel dizzy and make stars appear in his eyes.

Why can someone deny everything about another person with just one sentence?And why would a child slander his father?

Ye Shan first felt boundless guilt in his heart, followed by overwhelming murderous intent.

Hatake Sakumo is dead, but there are still people secretly slandering him. Could it be that in the eyes of some people, only ninjas from the Hokage line are considered ninjas?

Hayama finally realized that he could destroy the enemy's body through force, and he could also force the enemy to do something against his will through strategy, but he could not change the views in people's hearts.

The prejudice in people's hearts is like a big mountain. This mountain can't be seen or touched, but still his Hatake Sakumo can't turn over, and Hayama can't breathe under the pressure.

After a long time, Ye Shan sighed, suppressed the mixed emotions in his heart, and asked softly: "Where is the old servant at home?"

Logically speaking, with that loyal old servant here, Kakashi would not blame his father.

"died."

The cold words came from a child's mouth without any emotion.

Ye Shan suddenly realized that everything became reasonable, and asked again: "How have you been in the past two years?"

After thinking about it, this sentence may be a little difficult for the young Kakashi to understand, so he changed the question: "How is the food? How is the accommodation?"

“I don’t have enough money to eat well, and I live in a small house in the suburbs.”

Kakashi's voice fluctuated a little, and then he raised his head and asked loudly: "Why did you come to ask me this today? Why? Aren't you the heir he chose?"

"Do you know how I have lived these two years? You don't know anything!"

"You haven't cared about me since he died!"

Hayama's face was full of guilt. He knelt down pitifully, touched Kakashi's hair, and said softly: "It's my fault. I really didn't expect that old servant to die. I will take care of you from now on."

Kakashi stubbornly opened Hayama's hand and said, "No, I'm living a good life now and I don't need anyone to take care of me anymore."

"If there's nothing else, I'll go first."

After that, Kakashi looked at the fish covered with dirt and walked away with confusion in his eyes.

Ye Shan quickly picked up the fish and followed it without even bothering to put on his clothes.No matter how bad Kakashi did, or how bad he said to Hatake Sakumo, Hayama would never really blame him.

Speaking of that incident, the victim was definitely the young Kakashi, leaving him with unhealable wounds.

The two walked in tandem for a long time, passing through a large farmland and a shabby dirt street before arriving at a small house.

Although the house is small, it looks clean and tidy from the outside. There is an old shoe rack placed outside the door. Hayama recognized it at a glance as an object that Hatake Sakumo had used.

Kakashi took off his shoes outside the door, arranged them neatly, opened the door and walked in, then closed the door without any intention of letting Hayama enter.

Ye Shan smiled nonchalantly, not only not angry, but also happy.Kakashi's angry behavior as a child proves that he has not truly matured and there is still room for things to turn around.

After looking around for a while, Hayama came to a small window and stood on tiptoe to look inside, but he didn't expect Kakashi's face to appear in front of him.

"What do you want to do?"

Ye Shan smiled awkwardly, raised the fish in his hand and said, "I'll give you the fish."

Kakashi swallowed, but pretended to be indifferent and said, "No need, I don't like fish."

"You are not welcome here, please leave."

Ye Shan put the fish on the window, took a few steps back, and said softly: "Put less condiments and drink more soup. I will come to you tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Ye Shan turned and left.

Haste makes waste, especially when it comes to resolving knots.Hayama's previous idea was to find an opportunity to hand over the ninjutsu scroll to Kakashi and let him practice it himself. After all, Kakashi was now nominally Namikaze Minato's apprentice, and it was not easy for him to interfere in training matters.But now it seems that Kakashi's problem is not a training problem, but a psychological problem.

Psychological problems are very difficult, and Ye Shan has little experience in dealing with them, so he has to take a long-term approach.

As he was walking back, the sound of several children playing around reached his ears. Ye Shan's eyes lit up, and an idea came to his mind.

.......

That night, at the banquet at Uchiha Keiji's house, Uchiha Fugaku was naturally among them.

The dishes at the banquet were very rich, and Hayama had no intention of tasting them. After eating a few hastily, he grabbed the corner of Uchiha Fugaku's clothes beside him and asked in a low voice: "Before, you wanted me to give you advice on the training of a child called Obito. This sentence still doesn’t count.”

Uchiha Fugaku was stunned, not knowing what Hayama meant by mentioning it at this time, and said: "Of course it counts."

"Then you call him here now, and I will take this opportunity to recognize this child."

Saying that, Hayama smiled apologetically at Keiji Uchiha, who was sitting not far away.

Uchiha Keiji immediately understood what Hayama meant. He immediately picked up the wine glass and stood up and said, "Everyone, I'm really sorry, but I suddenly have something to deal with. Let's do this. Let's have fun again at this time tomorrow."

Although everyone didn't know what happened, looking at Uchiha Fugaku's serious expression, they naturally didn't dare to say anything dissatisfied, and dispersed after drinking a glass of wine.

After everyone dispersed, Uchiha Fugaku took Hayama and Keiji to his living room, and the three of them drank tea without talking.

After a while, Uchiha Keiji was the first to lose his composure and asked: "What happened?"

Uchiha Fugaku smiled, dispelling the solemnity in the living room, and said, "Don't worry, it's a good thing."

"Tonight, Ye Shan will accept a child from a family as his disciple."

Uchiha Keiji was shocked. He quickly thought about the talented children in his family this year, but he didn't have an accurate answer. He couldn't help but ask: "Which family's children are so lucky to be favored by Hayama?"

Uchiha Fugaku chuckled, pretending to be mysterious and said: "Can you take a guess?"

Uchiha Keiji frowned and said softly: "Shisui?"

Uchiha Shisui's talent is one of the best in the clan, but due to his status, no one has been willing to accept him as a disciple, so Keiji has reason to guess this.

Uchiha Shisui is inextricably linked to the dead Uchiha Mirror, and Uchiha Mirror is one of the few ninjas in the clan who is close to the Hokage line. He has always been criticized by the clan, which has also affected Uchiha Shisui in the clan. Not welcome.

Uchiha Fugaku shook his head and said: "Shisui's talent is naturally outstanding. He has the ability to stand alone at a young age, but he has some problems with his thinking and will never become Hayama's apprentice."

"There is a child in the sixth room named Obito. He is the apprentice I have scouted for Hayama before."

"With soil?"

Uchiha Keiji frowned, he had never heard of this name, but one thing was certain, this child was definitely not the kind of person with extraordinary talents.

Seemingly sensing Keiji's doubts, Fugaku looked around and saw that there was no fourth person present, then whispered into Keiji's ear.

"what?"

Uchiha Keiji whispered, then covered his mouth, his wide eyes filled with shock.

"Only five people know about this matter now, and it must not be leaked. Do you know what to do?"

Uchiha Keiji nodded hurriedly, knowing the importance of it, and looked at Hayama with deep envy in his eyes.

"It seems that Hayama's status in the clan was still underestimated before. We need to get closer to him in the future." Uchiha Keiji thought to himself.

After a while, Yasushi Uchiha came to the living room with a child and left there immediately.

The child was about seven or eight years old, and his clothes were covered in dust. Without asking, he knew it was from playing.

Although he was still young, this child came from a big family and had a lot of etiquette. He immediately bowed respectfully and said hello, but he couldn't hide the liveliness in his eyes.

Uchiha Fugaku smiled warmly and said warmly: "Don't be nervous. It's a great thing to call you here today."

As he said that, he pointed to Ye Shan who was sitting on the chair and asked, "Do you know him?"

Uchiha Obito looked at Hayama with his clear black and white eyes and said, "The story of Hayama-sama defeating the Kirin ninja and killing Yagura has been passed down in the clan for a long time, so I naturally recognize it."

"It's good to know."

Uchiha Fugaku first said with a chuckle: "Hayama wants to accept you as his disciple, are you willing?"

Uchiha Obito's eyes widened, and he looked ecstatic. Without any hesitation, he came directly to Hayama's side, picked up the teacup, offered it with both hands, and said respectfully: "Master, please drink tea."

The most basic etiquette for apprenticeship is to serve tea. Uchiha Obito was also quick in thinking and started the apprenticeship process in one step.

For Uchiha Obito, this is a good thing falling from the sky, and there is no reason to refuse it.There is a master with outstanding strength, and only if there are advantages and no disadvantages, a fool will not agree.

Hayama nodded with satisfaction, took the tea cup and drank it in one gulp, accepting Uchiha Obito.

"From tomorrow onwards, practice with me every day, can you do it?"

But Uchiha Obito was stunned and said stupidly: "I still have to go to school."

Uchiha Keiji laughed out loud, quickly got out of his seat, took Obito's hand and said: "You don't have to go to the ninja school often from now on, but you have to watch this master closely, otherwise his superb ninja skills But the art can no longer be learned."

Hayama chuckled and said: "We are going to the ninja school. Don't worry, I won't delay your schooling after the daily morning exercises."

Uchiha Obito was relieved and left happily.

Seeing Obito disappear from sight, Uchiha Fugaku took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to Hayama.

"These are some basic fire escape ninjutsu. Hayama, you will teach this first, and we will talk about the others later."

Ye Shan nodded, and his men left the living room and walked towards the hospital.

Uchiha Fugaku's thoughts are clear to Hayama. He doesn't want Uchiha Obito to learn real powerful ninjutsu, at least not from Hayama.

Although Uchiha Fugaku did intend to let Hayama teach him everything, everything changed with the birth of Uchiha Itachi, otherwise he would not have waited for Hayama to take the initiative to bring it up before agreeing to accept him as a disciple.

Everyone has selfish motives, and Uchiha Fugaku, a layman, is even more selfish.He wished that all the good things in the world would be in his son's arms and make his son the happiest person in the world.

There is nothing to teach Uchiha Obito other ninjutsu. The Uchiha clan is so wealthy that they don't care about the inheritance of one or two ninjutsu.But Hayama's unique secret technique cannot be taught. This is what Fugaku left to his son.

Hayama is fully aware of Fugaku's selfishness, but he doesn't have the slightest resentment. On the contrary, he agrees with it.No matter how outstanding Uchiha Obito is, he is still someone else's child, so no one of his own can feel comfortable looking at him.

Originally, Hayama didn't want to accept Obito, but in order to untie Kakashi's knot, he changed his mind.

There is a ten-year age difference between Hayama and Kakashi, and some of his words can only be counterproductive.But Uchiha Obito is different. He and Kakashi are the same age. They definitely have more similar topics and are very likely to change Kakashi's mind.

After all, a naughty child and a taciturn child get along day and night, and the changes brought about are huge.

What Hayama didn't know was that his one thought would bring about earth-shaking changes to the ninja world in the future.
