Konoha Steady King

On December 42, Year [-] of the Konoha Calendar, just three months after Hayama developed a unique training method, an unusually grand meeting was about to be held in the large conference room inside Shadow Rock.

The participants included not only the leaders of the large and small ninja clans in the village, but also jonin who had no missions. It was a very large meeting with more than 200 people.

The reason for the large number of people was not that the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to make democratic decisions on a whim, but that what happened was really appalling and required a show of hands to vote, and Sarutobi Hiruzen was not allowed to act arbitrarily.

Early in the morning, Hayama dressed neatly and came to the outside of the Uchiha clan, waiting for Uchiha Shinichi and Uchiha Fugaku. There was a strong murderous look on his face, which was very different from the usual cold and calm. The reason was that The topic discussed at the meeting was how to deal with Hatake Sakumo's abandonment of the mission.

Although Hatake Sakumo dislikes Hayama, the friendship between the two is indelible, and Hayama always remembers who taught him the secret technique of lightning escape, which allowed him to soar in strength in a short period of time.

Without Hatake Sakumo's careful teachings, he, Baiyun Hayama, would not be as strong as an elite Jonin now.Ye Shan is a mediocre person. The interests of the village and the country are nothing to him. He only cares about the safety of people who are good to him, and puts everything else in the back burner.

The actions of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen made Hayama furious. In his opinion, it was just a failure in this task. There was no need to convene a Jonin Conference, and he could just give a punishment notice and that would be it.It's a fucking meeting, it's all dirty business.

After a while, Uchiha Shinichi led Uchiha Fugaku out of the clan area, and naturally found Hayama standing under the tree filled with murderous aura. They couldn't help but look at each other, showing a trace of appreciation.

Last night, Hayama visited Uchiha Shinichi overnight, with the purpose of persuading him to mobilize the power of the Uchiha clan and protect Hatake Sakumo as much as possible in the meeting.At first, Uchiha Shinichi refused, but after Hayama's eloquent analysis, he agreed to the matter.

According to Hayama's speculation, the fundamental purpose of the third-generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen holding the meeting with great fanfare was not to discuss the pros and cons of the mission and punish Hatake Sakumo, but to kick him out of the queue of Hokage candidates and create a foundation for his third Hokage. An apprentice paved the way to become Hokage.

There are only four candidates in the village who are expected to become the next generation of Hokage: Hatake Sakumo, Orochimaru, Senju Tsunade, and Jiraiya.After the retirement of the Senju clan, Senju Tsunade lost her qualifications first, while Orochimaru and Jiraiya's prestige is not enough yet, and they are far inferior to Hatake Sakumo, who is known as Konoha White Fang.Sarutobi Hiruzen definitely wanted to help his apprentice ascend to the throne of Hokage, in order to completely break his faction's illusion of getting involved in Hokage.

If Orochimaru or Jiraiya becomes Hokage, it means that other factions will lose the qualification to become Hokage.At that time, the position of Hokage will be passed down completely between master and disciple, and no one else can even think about it.

Hayama's words made Uchiha Shinichi secretly curse. When the village was built, Senju Hashirama promised that the first generation would be Senju and the second generation would be Uchiha. It is still recorded in the family's classics. The pie painted by Senju Hashirama It smells so good that Uchiha Shinichi still fantasizes about raising his son to the throne of Hokage.And the ultimate goal of Hiruzen Sarutobi's conference was to completely determine the Hokage inheritance system. How could Uchiha Shinichi not be angry?

Uchiha Shinichi stated on the spot that the Uchiha clan would do their best to excuse Hatake Sakumo at the meeting, and would even send messengers overnight to unite many small families affiliated with Uchiha to work together tomorrow.This is how Ye Shan made a special detour early in the morning to wait here.

What Uchiha Shinichi and Uchiha Fugaku admired was not Hayama's political sense, but his spare no effort in running for Hatake Sakumo.Every good ninja in the village knows that Baiyun Hayama was completely abandoned by the civilian ninja group represented by Hatake Sakumo. But when Hatake Sakumo was suffering, Hayama was able to abandon small hatred and repay big kindness. This approach made the Uchiha father and son very happy.

This incident is enough to prove that Shirakumo Hayama is not an ungrateful ninja. If he treats Hatake Sakumo like this, then what the Uchiha clan, who is even more kind to him, will receive will be his lifelong reward.

"Hayama, contain your murderous intent." A rare warm smile appeared on Uchiha Shinichi's stern face, and he patted Hayama's shoulder and said.

"I'm extremely sorry, Patriarch."

"You and Fugaku are brothers, just call me uncle in private. There is no need to be so distant."

Ye Shan was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Uncle!"

Uchiha Shinichi nodded with satisfaction. The more he looked at Hayama, the more he liked it. If it weren't for the rules of the blood family, he would even have the idea of ​​​​marriage.Judging from the potential shown by Hayama, after he retires in the future, the other party will undoubtedly become Uchiha Fugaku's right-hand man.

Looking at the looming anxiety on Hayama's face, Uchiha Fugaku said with relief: "Don't worry, Hayama. Uchiha's forces will completely side with Sakumo-sama, and the situation will not be that bad."

Hayama thanked him gratefully, and the three of them walked in the direction of Hokage Rock.

Konoha Village said it was small or big, and soon, the three people from Hayama arrived under the Hokage Rock, and the ANBU who had their own reception brought the three people to the conference room.

Because I came early, the conference room was not full yet. There were dozens of ninjas sitting sparsely. When they saw Uchiha Shinichi walk in, several ninjas immediately stood up respectfully to say hello. They were obviously vassal to the Uchiha clan. A small family ninja.

"Hayama, this is the patriarch of the Morino clan, Kouta Morino, this is the clan leader of the Moonlight clan, Naoto Moonlight, you can get closer and closer in private." Uchiha Shinichi introduced with a smile.

Ye Shan hurriedly said hello to several people, always treating himself as a junior in his words, which made several people have a good impression of him.

"Master Patriarch, your seat is over here." Morino Kouta said to Uchiha Shinichi.

Uchiha nodded and walked to his seat. The others also returned to their seats and sat down, quietly waiting for the meeting to start.

Hayama's seat was in the fourth row from the bottom, close to the door of the conference room. He sat upright in his seat, squinting his eyes and looking at more and more ninjas in the conference room.

On the surface, the number of Jonin belonging to the Uchiha clan is second only to that of the Hokage clan, and they are the well-deserved second-in-command in the village.But from the perspective of ninja positions, they are not even as good as the Sarutobi clan. Except for Uchiha Shinichi, who is the head of the security department, no one else, including Hayama, has a position.

From this point of view, the ostracism suffered by the Uchiha clan was more serious than Hayama imagined.If you have strength but no right to speak, you will be played to death by the top management sooner or later.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Hiruzen Sarutobi was the first to walk into the conference room from the side door, followed by Danzo Shimura, Sakumo Hatake, Koharu Koharu, and Mito Kadenen. These five people are the top leaders of the Konoha Ninja Village. .

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was wearing the Hokage God's robe and a fire hat, stood in the middle seat, scanning the dark crowd, with a warm smile on his face, and said: "Now I announce that today's conference is about to begin. !"

Afterwards, the five people sat down. Sarutobi Hiruzen took off the hat on his head and put it on the table. He said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, everyone. There is not much content in today's meeting, so it won't take up much of your time."

Some ninjas chuckled, sweeping away the tense and serious atmosphere in the conference room, while Hayama stared expressionlessly at Hatake Sakumo sitting in front.

After Sarutobi Hiruzen successfully aroused the atmosphere of the venue by saying a few wisecracks, he gave the chance to speak to Shimura Danzo.

Danzo Shimura, who looked gloomy, narrowed his eyes and scanned the ninjas sitting in the audience, and said: "There is only one thing to discuss today, and that is about Hatake Sakumo abandoning the mission without authorization and causing harm to the village and even the entire fire. The country caused losses. Next, Hatake Sakumo will elaborate on the mission. "

Hayama suddenly realized that on such a grand occasion today, Hatake Sakumo was not wearing a Konoha forehead protector, and his heart sank.

Hatake Sakumo stood up and talked about the mission in a steady voice. In fact, there was no need to say it again. All the ninjas who were going to attend the meeting last night knew what was going on.

It was nothing more than that when Hatake Sakumo led a team to relocate the residents of Akihabara, the original land of wind, they encountered the double siege of Amegakure and Sunagakure. In order to avoid the destruction of the team, Hatake Sakumo had to give up tens of thousands of people. The common people just gave it to Sunagakure.

Did the Leaf Village suffer any losses in this mission?Absolutely not. Hatake Sakumo's compromise in avoiding the battle saved the village's precious jounin combat power in time. Otherwise, after a battle, the number of jounin in the village would have been reduced by dozens.

The Fire Nation did suffer losses in this mission. What they lost were the agricultural taxes and commercial taxes that tens of thousands of people could bring, and that was all.If you take a step back and think about it, Akihabara was originally the territory of the Kingdom of Wind, but it was only temporarily ceded to the Kingdom of Fire. In this way, there is not much loss.

The situation is like that, so there is no need to hold this meeting at all. It is just the product of the selfish intentions of Sarutobi Hiruzen and others.
