Konoha Steady King

When Ye Shan stood on the crowded street, he felt a sense of loneliness. He didn't know what to do next, and he didn't know who to talk to about his difficulties, so he just stood there in a daze. There, I looked at all kinds of people and the brightly lit streets.

Two small hands timidly grabbed the corners of Hayama's clothes, interrupting his daze. Those were the hands of Kakashi and Obito.

Ye Shan calmed down and realized that the feast promised tonight had not been fulfilled. He felt a little guilty in his heart, so he squatted down and stretched out his hands to touch their hair, with a faint smile on his face.

"Sorry, we can't eat barbecue. Let's go eat grilled fish."

Kakashi and Obito nodded vigorously and followed Hayama closely towards the slightly crowded street. Soon, only the three figures of Jiraiya were left behind.

"Oh, what's the matter!"

Jiraiya sighed deeply and gave up the thought of eating, and went straight to Orochimaru, hoping that his friend of the same year could give him the best answer.

Hayama walked with Kakashi and Obito on the street until they came across a grilled fish restaurant. However, the owner apologetically told him that the chef was off work and could no longer accept customers.

Kakashi's eyes were filled with disappointment, and then he whispered softly: "How about we go eat ramen, I don't like grilled fish."

Hayama could tell at a glance that Kakashi's words were insincere, and said to the boss: "It doesn't matter if the chef is off work. Please pack me a portion of the raw materials for grilled fish. I will pay for it."

The owner of the grilled fish shop happily went to prepare the ingredients after hearing this. After a while, he brought out a full baking tray and handed it to Hayama.

Hayama paid the money and took the two of them towards the Nanhe River with the plate in hand, obviously intending to make the grilled fish himself.

The Nanhe River still looks sparkling. The sound of water flow, the chirping of insects and the rustle caused by the wind are intertwined, making people feel relaxed and intoxicated without realizing it.

Ye Shan rolled up his sleeves, found a few stones of moderate size and arranged them into a simple stove, and told the two of them: "You go catch a few fish in the river, and we will eat as much fish as we want tonight."

Kakashi and Obito cheered, took off their extra clothes except for shorts, and happily got into the river. Under the bright moonlight, they had heartfelt smiles on their faces, which made Hayama's heart break. Unconsciously, he softened by three points.

It was easy for the ninja to catch fish. Not long after, two fish that were still alive and kicking appeared in Hayama's hands, seeming to be resisting the crisis he encountered.

Hayama squatted by the river, took out a kunai, and first knocked the fish unconscious with the round tail to relieve their pain, and then disembowelled them without hesitation.

Obito and Kakashi squatted beside Hayama eagerly, their faces full of anticipation.

Hayama skillfully took out the fish's internal organs, scraped off the fish scales, and then carefully washed it with river water. He was not satisfied until the blood foam was completely washed away.

The kunai used for killing became a cooking knife tonight. Hayama first changed the three fish into flower knives to facilitate the flavoring, then stuffed onions, ginger and garlic into the fish belly, and finally spread light soy sauce and other condiments evenly on the fish. Marinate for a while first.

There is no convenient oven to use in the world of Naruto, but it still doesn't bother Hayama. He wraps the marinated fish in water-soaked kraft paper, and then concentrates the fire attribute chakra on his left hand, forming a simple and practical fire stove. .

After a while, a faint smell of fish came out. Yeshan stopped baking, pulled off the kraft paper, and continued baking over low heat.

When the fish instant noodles turned brown, Hayama took the baking pan given by the boss and put the fish in. Then he added water that covered the fish body, added celery, peppers, green onions, garlic, etc., and put it on the set On the stove, a fire was lit and burned.

After the baking pan was boiling, Hayama added enoki mushrooms, vermicelli and other side dishes, as well as some salt, cumin powder and other seasonings, and a fragrant grilled fish was completed.

"Eat, eat, eat!"

After hearing this, Obito hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and accurately picked up the fattest meat on the fish's belly, but instead of eating it himself, he brought it to Hayama's mouth.

"Master, eat first."

A warm current flashed through Ye Shan's heart, and he swallowed the steaming piece of fish meat in one gulp, but was so burned that he grinned.

"It smells so good. Come on, eat it."

The two of them were already hungry and couldn't resist the fragrant grilled fish, so they ate hungrily.

The small flame under the simple stove was still releasing its own heat. Occasionally, a naughty wind blew by, blowing the thin flame around, but it never really went out.

Three fish weighing five kilograms were swept away by Kakashi and Obito. Hayama simply ate a few bites of vegetables before losing his appetite. He lit a cigarette and watched them eat quietly.

To be honest, the grilled fish cooked by Hayama didn't taste good, at least it was not unpalatable, but Kakashi and Obito thought it was the most delicious food they had eaten in these years.

As he ate, Kakashi's eyes became moist, and a deep sadness appeared on his face.

"What's wrong?" Ye Shan asked softly.

Kakashi wiped his eyes and choked, "I miss my father."

"When I was young, my father often took me camping in the Hatake clan's land. At that time, we hunted and cooked our own food."

Ye Shan was silent, not knowing what to say.

Obito put down his chopsticks. This was the first time Kakashi mentioned his father in front of him in several years, but he was so sad and missed.

"Kakashi, don't cry. Ninjas can't cry."

It was okay if Obito didn't say it, but once he said it, Kakashi could no longer suppress the sadness in his heart and covered his face with his hands and started sobbing.

Speaking of which, the three people sitting by the fire tonight together are like a Les Misérables novel. The three of them cannot make up a living father, let alone a healthy mother, let alone a complete family. .

But Hayama is lucky, at least compared to Kakashi and Obito, because he is a time traveler. Not only does he have strong mental endurance, he even has much less affection for his biological parents in this body.He will not eat some delicious food at a certain moment in memory of his dead father, nor will he think of the warm daily interactions in the bright spring days, let alone sleep alone. He lamented his loneliness at night, so it was really difficult for him to empathize with Kakashi's feelings.

Yes, Hayama's heart has been tortured as hard as iron by years of wind and frost. He seems to be just like Hatake Sakumo said, gradually losing the kindness that a good ninja should have and turning into an emotionless machine. Killing machine.

Yes, at this moment Hayama realized that even in the ninja world where the strong are respected, force cannot solve all problems after all.It may be able to solve the enemy, but it will never solve the wounds in people's hearts.

Whether people can be resurrected after death, whether they can repent of past events, and the embodiment of ninjutsu will only destroy rather than save, this is the reality.

At this moment, Hayama figured out why a person as great as the First Hokage would bring up something as boring and superfluous as the Will of Fire, and he also understood what the core of the Will of Fire was.

The core of Will of Fire is that ninjas should maintain some humanity. As Hatake Sakumo said, if the ninja has no humanity in his heart, if the ninja's heart is wrapped in hatred, then he is just a violent machine and not a human being. A ninja.

If you want to become a ninja, you must first be a human being, and the order cannot be confused.

Once upon a time, Ye Shan felt sad when he saw the corpses of his companions in front of him; once upon a time, Ye Shan would pity the wild cats and wild dogs that unfortunately died; once upon a time, Ye Shan would be indignant because the flowers on the roadside were destroyed for no reason.

These are the emotions that a normal person should have, but they disappeared from Hayama for a long time, so long that he had forgotten that he was still a human being, not a simple ninja.

Of course, Hayama does not feel that his previous actions were wrong, nor does he feel that his killing is absurd, nor does he deny his ninja. He just thinks of the banner who once led him out of the predicament on this bright moonlit night. It’s just Mu Shumao.

Hayama is still Hayama, he will always be him, there is no doubt about this.

A mature soul cannot tolerate the thoughts of others, but Kakashi and Obito can.

In the past, Hayama swore in front of thousands of heroic spirits of the Hatake clan that he would implement the nindo for Hatake Sakumo during his lifetime and carry forward the nindo he defended with his life, but he seemed to have failed in these years.

Hatake Sakumo's grave was placed in the most respectful place in Konoha Ninja Village by Hayama with great pains; Hatake Sakumo's achievements were pushed into the Heroic Spirit Tower by Hayama; Hatake Sakumo's stigma was washed away by Hayama Jing, but his nindo is still not recognized by the village.

"Ninjas should not become mission machines. A ninja's sacrifice can only be because he is willing to sacrifice himself, and it should never be sacrificed [for anything]."

This is what Hatake Sakumo said to Hayama in that canyon with difficult terrain, and this is what he did.

Although Hayama did not agree with Hatake Sakumo's ninja approach, he admired this true ninja so much that these words were still engraved in his heart after many years.

Each generation has its own mission and responsibility. Ye Shan grew up in the bloody storm, and his hands are stained with the blood of his enemies and even his companions, but he has the responsibility to prevent the next generation from having to do this.

So, after being silent for a long time, he said this.

"May you be the breeze in the mountains, may you be the water in the creek, may you be the sun in the sky, may you be the stars in the starry sky, and may you be a lark that sings loudly and carefree, you may not Being defined, you can move forward bravely, be scorching wantonly, shine in the dark, and sing loudly.”

“May you be a book of poetry that contains rich contents, may you be a brush covered with ink, may you be a sword hidden in the scabbard, may you be a bamboo in the wind and rain, may you be thought-provoking, may you be free to use your pen and ink, may you be sharp, Can be tough and upright.”

"Both of you are the best among the new generation of Konoha. I ask you to remember your own tragic experiences and be strict with yourself and lenient to others in the future so that the next generation will not have to suffer these hardships again."

Kakashi stopped crying and looked at Hayama with wide eyes, savoring his words carefully in his heart. Although there were many things he didn't understand, they were all engraved in his heart and he dared not forget them.

Uchiha Obito frowned and asked his doubts: "Then what should we do specifically?"

Ye Shan was speechless and said with a faint smile: "I don't know."

After thinking about it, he said seriously: "Everyone's circumstances are different, which leads to a different mentality and world view. I will not use my own experiences to mislead you."

Saying that, Hayama pointed to the small flame that was still strong enough to release heat.

"Just like this small fire, it is sometimes happy and sometimes swaying, sometimes vigorous and sometimes dying. The things it encounters have led to these different forms. You are still young, and there are too many things waiting for you ahead, too many setbacks. Waiting for you too.”

"I only hope that you can truly follow your inner thoughts and truly live like a person, a person of flesh and blood."

Seeing that the two of them were still confused, Ye Shan laughed a few times to stop the indoctrination, and rubbed their hair with a gentle expression on his face.

"Someone once said this to me, but I haven't done it yet. You don't have to have too much psychological burden. You can do whatever you want. I will take care of everything."

Kakashi and Obito understood this sentence, and they laughed together.

"Master, tell us the story of your childhood." Obito begged.

Ye Shan pondered for a moment and felt that it was not good to tell them about his experience, so he decided to sing a song to them. Of course, this song was sung in a language that has been passed down for 5000 years, and no one except Ye Shan could understand it.

"Go with a fiery tenacity"

"The most tolerant execution ground"

"Cracked and shattered, it echoes hollowly"

"In the end I was glad to see the sunset"

"Still on the body"

"It's too late to tell the story, so many twists and turns"

“Has the most rugged peaks”

"I'm arrogant if I can help you"

"The clear light on the sea and the full moon are poured into the cup of light"

"The most arrogant snow mountain"

"Listen to you and me reciting quietly."

“The scenes that amaze the world are nothing short of ordinary.”

"Has the thinnest handwriting"

"All have turned yellow with memory"

"And I once again pave the way for the next chapter."

Of course, the moon is very round and bright tonight, and Ye Shan's singing voice is very rough and hard to listen to, looking like a KTV killer.

However, as the song goes, Hayama decided to pave the way for the next chapter, a chapter for the future.
