Konoha Steady King

After arranging Kakashi and Obito's training plan for the next month, Hayama left the Nanga River training ground and came to the Konoha Security Department to find Fugaku to discuss something.

During the Chuunin Exams, various ninja villages and countries will send high-status figures to watch the ceremony. Even the Daimyo of the Land of Fire has sent a letter clearly stating his intention to come to watch the ceremony. At that time, the security work in the village will be unprecedentedly complex and difficult, and the security work will be unprecedentedly complex and difficult. As the police and urban management department, the ministry naturally needs to make preparations in advance.

When the ninja on duty outside the gate of the security department saw that it was Hayama coming, he quickly stepped forward to salute: "Master Hayama."

"Why are you on duty today? Where did that guy Seiji go? Could it be that he went on a blind date?"

The person attending the ceremony was also an old acquaintance of Hayama. He was the second son of his cousin Fugaku's family. His name was Uchiha Nobu, so he couldn't help but make a joke.

Uchiha smiled at the letter, approached Hayama and handed him a cigarette. He helped light it and then said, "Brother Kiyoshi really went on a blind date. It was introduced by the Young Patriarch."

Ye Shan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "This guy is a donkey, so he won't leave until he smokes, right? If you meet him later, you have to ask him to treat you to a meal."

"It's not just about eating. If things come to pass, he will have to call me cousin."

"The girl introduced by the young patriarch is my niece, so that's it."

"It's a good thing. If it doesn't work out, I'll whip him for you."

"Hey, thank you Mr. Hayama."

"Has Lord Hayama come to look for the young clan leader?"

"Ah."

"That's really unlucky. The young patriarch was just called to the Hokage's office by the Anbu and won't be back for a while. Vice Minister Keiji is here, why don't you go and sit with him?"

Hayama hugged Nobu Uchiha's shoulders affectionately and said with a smile: "What? Can't I come sit with you?"

"Of course you can, but my duty booth is entirely made of transparent glass, and there's no sofa to sit on. I'm afraid I won't be well received."

"Hahaha, just kidding. I'll go find Keiji. You can continue on duty."

After that, Hayama wandered into the security department and went to find Uchiha Keiji.

Alas, it’s not easy to be a doorman.

Uchiha smiled bitterly, Mr. Hayama is good at everything, but he has a bad habit of taking other people's cigarettes. The cigarettes he just bought were gone before he smoked a few. Isn't this long night too difficult?

As the Deputy Minister of Security, Keiji Uchiha's office is naturally quite large, covering an area of ​​seventy or eighty square meters. It is fully equipped with sofas and coffee tables, and even has a lounge.

At this time, Uchiha Keiji was concentrating on instructing documents when he heard someone knocking on the door and said in a deep voice: "Come in."

Ye Shan walked in with a smile and said, "I didn't delay your work, did I?"

When Uchiha Keiji saw that Hayama was here, he stood up and walked out of the large desk with a smile on his face: "You haven't been here for a long time. If I think about it, you haven't been here for a month."

The two sat down on the soft sofa. Uchiha Keiji took out a pack of unopened cigarettes from under the coffee table and handed it to Hayama. Then he poured him a cup of tea and then asked: "Why did you think of coming to me today?" ?”

Hayama opened the package, took out one, lit it, and said, "Do you know that the village will hold the Chunin Exam next month?"

"know."

"The Security Department will inevitably be busy for a while, and I was appointed as one of the chief examiners this morning. I will be fully involved in the examination-related work. The patrol mission in the village may not be able to continue."

Uchiha Keiji waved his hands indifferently and said: "There is no need for your participation in such a small matter as patrolling. The top priority is to complete the tasks assigned by the Hokage."

"But then again, the Hokage actually appointed you as one of the chief examiners. There must be something fishy going on."

Hayama leaned on the sofa and smoked a cigarette and said: "Orochimaru has other things, Namikaze Minato is busy training, and the only ninja in the Hokage series who can hold up the table is Jiraiya, and even Nara Shikaku is here. Who can make up the numbers if not me?"

"That's true. I think the Hokage series is like a rabbit's tail - it won't grow." Uchiha Keiji said happily.

Hayama was noncommittal and said calmly: "How does the clan arrange security during the Chunin Exams?"

"I don't know for the moment. The true clan leader is completely out of business right now. The young clan leader was just called away by the Hokage, probably because of the exam."

When Uchiha Keiji said this, he changed the topic: "My useless little son will also take the chunin exams. As Hayama, you are the examiner, so you have to help keep an eye on him secretly."

"I remember your youngest son is only eight years old. He is so precious at ordinary times. Why are you willing to let him take the Chunin Exam?"

A look of doting appeared on Uchiha Keiji's face. He truly loved his youngest son. Hearing this, he said: "The Uchiha clan is a useless waste that cannot be raised. Let him be exposed to the cruelty of the ninja world early for his own good. It will save him troubles in the future." 's spoiled."

Ye Shan put out the cigarette in his hand, picked up the tea cup and took a sip and said, "You don't need to tell me that I will take care of it. The purpose of my coming today is to discuss this matter."

"This chuunin exam is different from the past. It is not an internal selection within the village. Ninjas from dozens of ninja villages will participate. There will be some open and covert competition. The ninjas sent by the clan must be more cautious."

Uchiha Keiji became solemn, and he naturally understood the meaning of Hayama's words. The Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan had officially formed a competitive relationship a year ago, and the two sides were fighting back and forth.The current genin exam is a perfect opportunity, an opportunity to prove who is the best ninja clan in Konoha.

If the Uchiha clan can shine in the Chunin Exam, the benefits will be immeasurable, especially in the undercurrent of the ninja world.

Hayama didn't say much until now. Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Keiji were both smart people, so they naturally knew what to do. Instead, the topic changed to security issues.

"During the Chuunin Exams, a large number of enemy ninjas will flood into the village. No one can guarantee that they will abide by the village's rules honestly. If one or two bold ones take the opportunity to sabotage, there will be big trouble."

"Especially people from the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Wind have been dishonest over the years, so we need to take more precautions."

The Kingdom of Thunder has always regarded itself as the second best in the ninja world, and has long wanted to replace Konoha as the real overlord. Most of its ninjas practice violent thunder-attribute ninjutsu, resulting in abnormal tempers; the current Kazekage of the Kingdom of Wind is known as the strongest in history Kazekage is also eyeing Konoha and takes it as his duty to lead the village out of the desert. He has also been very restless in recent years.

Of course, the Earth Kingdom is not a good bird, but it has restrained a lot in recent years and has not shown its sharpness.

With so many enemy ninjas staying in the village for up to a week, the security pressure caused is not ordinary.Sarutobi Hiruzen's appointment of Hayama as the examiner must have a conspiracy to weaken the security department. Once there is a security problem, the Uchiha clan, as the first person responsible, will inevitably be blamed.

"I am also having a headache about this matter. There are really not many ninjas that the clan can send to maintain order. There are only more than 100 people. If there are more, it will affect the daily operations of the clan and the security department, but this manpower is completely It's not enough." Uchiha Keiji had a headache and was powerless to deal with the current situation.

Ye Shan smiled slightly and said as he expected: "But this is also an excellent opportunity."

"Chance?"

"That's right, the clan can leave the cumbersome task of patrolling the streets in the village to the village. Anyway, it is harmful and useless to hold this task in your hands."

Uchiha Keiji's eyes lit up. The street patrol had a nice name, but in fact the work he did was similar to that of urban management. It was really an offending job. The clan wanted to give it up for a long time, but he was killed every time by Sarutobi Hiruzen. It was rejected.

"Would the Hokage agree?"

"At this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen wants to rely on the strength of the Uchiha clan to maintain the security of the village. Can he not agree?"

"It is enough for the clan to firmly hold on to the patrol power outside the village, prison control, and security department power. As for those thankless tasks, it is better to give up as soon as possible."

The arrow was on the string and had to be fired. Sarutobi Hiruzen worked hard to hold the Chunin Exam and invested a lot of manpower and material resources. Naturally, he would not give up on the trivial matters of the Uchiha clan, otherwise he, the Hokage, would lose his majesty.

But the Uchiha clan is different. Although they are a member of the village and it is their duty to serve the village, if they are really cruel and do it in disguise, no one can say anything. The most they can do is to denounce them calmly.

Moreover, the Uchiha clan is really responsible for too many things, so much that it has affected the normal practice of the ninjas in the clan, and it has reached the point of putting the cart before the horse.

The most important thing for a ninja is not the amount of power it holds, but its own strength.To put it inappropriately, if the Uchiha clan now has a thousand elite jounin, then the Hokage has no choice but to be named Uchiha.

Power determines the lower limit of the ninja clan, while strength determines the upper limit. It is self-evident which one is more important.

The ninja world has been peaceful for a long time. According to the laws of history, the next ninja war will not be too far away.Once a war breaks out, only strength is the hard currency, and everything else is virtual.

Uchiha Keiji nodded solemnly and said: "Tonight there will be a regular clan meeting within the clan, and I will convey your opinions at the meeting."

The two chatted for a while. Seeing Keiji's absent-minded look, Hayama knew that Keiji still had something to do, so he stood up and left.

It was still dark at this time, so Hayama thought for a while and went to the forest to the east of the village. After finding the patrol team and explaining that he had another mission tomorrow, he went straight to find Tsunade.

To Hayama's surprise, Tsunade was not doing charity in the gambling house at this time. Could it be that the sun was rising from the west?

Although Konoha is big, the answer to finding Tsunade is very simple, either in the hospital, in a gambling house, or at home, there is no fourth place, so Hayama came to her office.

When people in the hospital saw that Ye Shan was here, they all gathered around to talk to him. Now who didn't know that this was the little boyfriend of the dean, they naturally didn't dare to neglect him.

Hayama was pulled and talked for a long time, took a dozen cigarettes that were difficult to refuse, and finally dismissed everyone, but he didn't expect Tsunade and Jiraiya to walk down the stairs one after another.

At this time, Hayama's hands were filled with cigarettes. Seeing Tsunade appear in his sight, he hurriedly put the cigarettes into his ninja tool bag, with a smile on his face.

Tsunade raised her eyebrows, walked quickly to Hayama, stretched out a white and tender hand, twisted his ears, and said angrily: "Didn't I tell you to quit smoking? Why did you start smoking again? "

Little did Tsunade know that Hayama had never quit smoking, he was just committing crimes behind her back.

Hayama chuckled and said, "Everyone is so enthusiastic that I can't help it."

"Humph!"

"I see you just don't want a child."

Jiraiya who stepped forward froze, his heart filled with bitterness, but he laughed and said, "What's wrong with a man smoking a few cigarettes? Don't be too strict, Tsunade."

Tsunade looked back at her friend and said, "Smoking is harmful to your health. I'm doing this for his own good."

Hayama took Tsunade's hand and said with an apologetic smile: "Once in a while, I don't do it much."

"Give birth to the baby first, and I don't care how you whip me from now on."

"..."

For some reason, Tsunade always wanted to have a child, to the point of being obsessed with it, nagging in Hayama's ears every day.

Hayama also wants to have a child, but the time is not right now, and the two of them are not married, so it will not sound good if the news spreads.

Seeing that Hayama remained silent, Tsunade secretly gritted her teeth and whispered: "I will take care of you when I go back tonight."

Ye Shan felt relieved, knowing that this matter was over, and it was still unclear who would deal with who in the evening.

"Want to have a drink?" Hayama said to Jiraiya, making a drinking gesture.

"No, I'm going to the old man's house for dinner tonight, you can eat."

Jiraiya shook his head apologetically and said, "Let's eat it later when we have time."

Hayama nodded and walked away side by side with Tsunade, leaving Jiraiya standing there alone and somewhat desolately.

Jiraiya's thoughts about Tsunade are not a secret in the village, and Hayama has heard about it, but the matter of love is very strange. It cannot be decided on a first-come, first-served basis, but depends on fate.

To put it simply, Hayama and Tsunade are more connected, that's all.
