Konoha Steady King

That night, Ye Shan dressed up very seriously, shaved off the stubble on his face, and even washed his hair. He didn't go out until he was satisfied when he looked in the mirror.

No matter whether it was the moon that caused the trouble last night or not, now that his relationship with Tsunade was confirmed, he naturally had to treat it sincerely. After all, Hayama didn't even dare to think about being a scumbag.

When passing by a flower shop, Hayama walked in and bought a bouquet of white carnations, then held them in his arms and carried them to Tsunade's residence.

Tsunade had been lying in front of the window watching the movement in front of the door. When she saw Hayama coming with flowers in his arms, she opened the door first before he could knock on the door.

"Are you here?" He said in a cheerful tone.

Hayama smiled, handed the flower in his arms to Tsunade, and said, "This is for you."

Tsunade took it generously, lowered her head and gently smelled the fresh floral fragrance, and said with a smile: "Thank you."

"Come in and sit."

This is the first time Hayama has walked into Tsunade's home. Unsurprisingly, her residence is not as luxurious as it looks on the surface. The furniture in the house is very close to the people, but the color of the furniture is very old. .

According to Yeshan's inherent thinking in his previous life, the homes of rich people should have marble floors, gold chandeliers for lighting, and even tableware should be made of gold and silver. This is actually very narrow-minded.

The Uchiha clan is also a wealthy family, but Fugaku's family is not so splendid. Instead, it has a heavy aura of historical accumulation. This cannot be bought with money, and the Senju clan is naturally not much different.

There is a historical atmosphere in the house, but it is a bit messy. Although some people have deliberately cleaned up the traces, the traces are too obvious, and it is obvious that Hayama is suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Obviously, Tsunade's daily life is exactly the same as her temper, full of bold and bold shadows.

While Tsunade was entering the house to change clothes, Hayama rolled up his sleeves and tidied up the house briefly, and didn't stop until he was satisfied with what he saw.

After a while, Tsunade, who had changed her clothes and put on light makeup, walked out. She raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw the obviously comfortable living room, but said nothing and walked out of the house side by side with Hayama.

The moonlight tonight is still beautiful and bright, and the dinner tonight is also delicious and rich, which makes Ye Shan feel better than ever.Although the two of them did not say any words of eternal oath, their eyes looked at each other with burning light, and their hearts were connected at this moment.

Ye Shan finally understood the meaning of this sentence without the wings of a colorful phoenix, but with a clear understanding in his heart. This feeling was so wonderful that he was addicted to it.

Hayama had been enjoying this wonderful feeling until one day Fugaku came to him with a gloomy face.

"Did you forget something?" Fugaku's voice was somewhat dissatisfied.

"what's up?"

Hayama thought for a long time, and he did not delay Obito's practice during this period. Under his guidance and Kakashi's training, the opponent's strength was completely different from before. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a rebirth.

"Didn't you promise me to patrol outside the village?! It's been a few months, and the patrol team members have changed twice. Where are you?"

"..."

If Uchiha Fugaku hadn't mentioned this today, Hayama would not have been able to remember such a thing, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"I'll go tomorrow."

Fugaku observed Hayama's expression and couldn't help but laugh and said: "This is not like you before. Is Tsunade-sama so charming?"

These words were full of joy. Fugaku was truly happy for Hayama and happy that his friend could live like a normal person. After all, Hayama's dark side was so heavy before that he could almost catch up with Danzo Shimura.

Ye Shan touched his nose and said awkwardly: "It's really big."

"Hahaha, that's great, I'm waiting to drink your wedding wine."

"That's not possible, the gift cannot be small."

"Don't worry about this, I'll give you a big red envelope." Uchiha Fugaku said angrily.

After seeing off Fugaku, Hayama sat in a chair and meditated, thinking to himself that he had indeed become a little addicted to love and love during this period, and even the main things had fallen behind, and he couldn't continue like this.

Today is June 23rd. After this month, I will work seriously. Well, that’s it.

The days were spent on fishing patrols in Hayama, serious love, and serious training. In the blink of an eye, it was February of Konoha 46.

For more than a year, Ye Shan has lived an incomparable happiness. This kind of happiness is unimaginable to outsiders, and it is difficult to describe. It can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. In short, in one sentence, you cannot imagine Ye Shan's happiness.

That day, Hayama was patrolling in the forest east of the village. A masked ANBU found him and conveyed the Hokage's order.

"Master Hayama, please rush to the Hokage's office immediately."

After saying that, the ANBU swung away energetically.

Several ninjas from the Uchiha clan gathered around, speculating on Sarutobi Hiruzen's intention of summoning Hayama.

Hayama stopped several people's increasingly outrageous speculations, touched his chin and said: "The Chuunin Examination will be held next month, maybe this is the case."

"Of course, we don't rule out the possibility of other things. Duanmu, please go to Fugaku's office. Others will patrol as usual. I'll come back later."

A few people instantly understood that the later time that Yeshan said would indeed be later, and it would most likely be as late as tomorrow morning, or maybe even noon.

For more than a year, Ye Shan often pretended to patrol in the morning and then found an excuse to sneak away. A few people had long been used to it, and they just asked Ye Shan to pay more attention to his health and not to waste his life.

Ye Shan smiled slightly, of course he would not express his strength and ferocious firepower, but just smiled and left here in a flash.

In the past few years, the size of Konoha Village has grown a lot. Many people from other villages have moved and settled in the area, which has caused housing prices to rise a lot and made the village look truly prosperous and wealthy.

The ANBU's order was to rush to the Hokage's office immediately, but Hayama didn't take it to heart. Instead, he walked slowly on the crowded streets. Occasionally he would stop to bargain when he saw some strange gadgets, until he was satisfied with the purchase. Down.

In this way, it took Hayama nearly an hour to arrive at the Hokage's office. Before he entered, the smell of cigarette smoke wafted out. Without looking, he knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen was smoking.

After entering the door, as expected, it was Sarutobi Hiruzen sitting in a chair and smoking with a frown on his face, but he was not the only one smoking, Nara Shikaku and Jiraiya were also smoking.

Seeing that Hayama was coming, Nara Shikaku took out a box of newly opened cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and threw it away.Even if a few people secretly dislike each other, they still have to give each other a cigarette when they meet.

Since falling in love with Tsunade, Hayama has quit smoking. He never buys cigarettes on weekdays. He smokes when others give him cigarettes and smokes when others don't...

Ye Shan took the cigarette, glanced around the office, and after confirming that there was no one snitching, he snapped his fingers with his right hand, and a small flame burst out and lit the cigarette.

"Hush~huh~"

Don't tell me, it feels good to smoke again after half a day, it has a comfortable feeling.

The four of them sat one by one and puffed away the smoke while the other three stood, making the Hokage's office filled with smoke.

After finishing smoking a cigarette, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a sip of tea, cleared his throat and said warmly: "I called you here today because of the Chunin Examination."

"Next month, a large-scale Chunin Exam will be held in the village. Dozens of countries, including the Land of Earth, the Land of Wind, the Land of Thunder, the Land of Rain, the Land of Grass, and the Land of Frost, will send ninjas to participate. This exam can be said to be the largest in history.”

"I called you here to hear your thoughts. Jiraiya didn't say anything first."

A leader is a leader. He will not express his position easily on some matters. Instead, he will listen to the opinions of his subordinates first.

However, Jiraiya is not in the village all year round and does not hold any position. He is not interested in these twists and turns. When his master called his name, he spread his hands and said, "I don't have any ideas. Old man, just do whatever you ask."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was not surprised at all. After all these years, Jiraiya still had that careless look and couldn't change it, so he asked Hayama.

"Hayama, please tell me."

Hayama thought for a moment and said: "This Chunin Exam will only bring benefits to the village, not harm. I think the village should not only hold a special Chunin Exam, but also ensure that it can dominate the exam to show its strength and scare other countries." .”

Don't underestimate the chuunin exams, and don't underestimate the ninjas at the chunin level. No matter how powerful the superficial experts in Konoha Village are, it will always be the ninjas at the bottom who support the status of the village.

Hayama also worked his way up from the bottom, so he naturally knew the importance of chunin to the village, and he also knew the nature of the so-called chunin exam. To put it bluntly, the chunin exam was a military exercise, to demonstrate The strength and vitality of a ninja village.

As far as he knew, Sarutobi Hiruzen had worked hard to get the right to hold this exam, just to show off to others.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded. It was obvious that Hayama's words had reached his heart. Now, despite the peaceful appearance of the ninja world, where you and I are singing and dancing, the fighting in the dark has not stopped for a moment, and the ANBU who die in battle every year are not In the minority.

"Since you all agree that this Chunin Exam should be taken seriously, I will not hold back. The village has decided to have you as the examiner of the exam to ensure that the exam goes smoothly. This is not only an affirmation of your strength, but also a trust in you. I hope you can correct your attitude and complete the task with full enthusiasm."

Speaking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Jiraiya specifically. Although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

Jiraiya frowned and was about to speak out his refusal, but when he saw his master's hair mixed with some white hair, he finally couldn't bear to refuse and turned into a different look.

"Old man, you also know my organizational skills. I'm afraid I don't have the confidence to do the job. How about Orochimaru instead?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen glared and said, "Orochimaru has other things to do, otherwise I wouldn't ask you to be the examiner."

"As for whether it works or not, you don't have the final say. If I say you can, you can do it, and if you don't, you have to do it!"

"The matter is settled like that. Tomorrow you will prepare for the Chuunin Exam. Of course, if there are some outstanding talents, don't hide them. Even if they are recommended, the safety of the exam held in your village is still guaranteed."

Hayama's mind moved and he said: "Hokage-sama, I recommend Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Obito to participate in this Chunin Exam."

"Oh?" Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and hesitated.

"The Chuunin Exams are conducted by a three-person team. I'm afraid it's not good if they only have two people."

Hayama smiled confidently and said, "Hokage-sama, have you ever thought about the benefits that would come if Konoha's two-person team wins the championship?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen stroked his beard, his eyes slowly brightened, and asked: "Do you have this confidence?"

"Yes!" Yeshan said firmly.

"Okay, I approve."

"Thank you, Hokage-sama."

After talking about the matter, the three of them walked out of the Hokage's office and chatted some more before they dispersed. However, Hayama shamelessly smoked a cigarette again. There was no one to control them, so he had to do this.

As for Sarutobi Hiruzen's move to select Hayama as the examiner, he had no choice. He couldn't summon back Minato Namikaze, who had practiced to a critical moment, or call that insidious guy Danzo Shimura to be in charge of the examination.

Over the years, younger generations of ninjas have grown up in other countries, but only in Konoha, since the death of Hatake Sakumo, there has never been another ninja worthy of a big job.

Otherwise, why would Sarutobi Hiruzen bother to hold a massive Chunin Exam?
