Konoha Steady King

The ambition bursting in Yeshan's heart allowed him to find a goal to strive for, but he found that he had no way to seek a position.

It is very desperate. It has been 43 years since the establishment of Konoha Ninja Village. The power system has matured and the responsibilities of each department have been clearly divided. The entire village has formed an efficient and complete machine, with no shortage of key parts.

For family ninjas like Uchiha Fugaku, if they want to have a certain say in the village, the best way is to improve their own strength and the strength of their family.As long as you are strong enough, you will naturally become a very important figure in the village.

No matter how bad it is, becoming the minister of the Ministry of Security can still control certain powers, but such power will be limited.

But for civilian ninjas like Hayama who have no family support, the best way is to join the Hokage line to gain reuse.For example, Jiraiya, Namikaze Minato, and Orochimaru are all popular ninjas in the Hokage series, and they are also candidate ninjas for the next generation of Hokage.Their success comes from the Hokage's favor, and of course from their own talent and strength.

Konoha Village is not a big one, but it is difficult to get ahead. Hayama's existing paths are unavailable, which makes him very distressed.

In fact, Hayama's best way out is to be like the late Hatake Sakumo, show his strong strength and combat ability, and use his illustrious military exploits to obtain a position.But now is an era of peace, and Hatake Sakumo's path has proven to be a path of failure.

For a moment, Ye Shan fell into confusion. His eyes seemed to be filled with thick morning fog. No matter how hard he tried to open his eyes, he could not see more than two meters away.

"How do you think we should gain power?" Hayama asked Uchiha Fugaku.

Uchiha Fugaku thought for a long time and said seriously: "I don't know."

Seeing that his friend seemed a little confused, Uchiha Fugaku said again: "Hatake-sama didn't leave you anything?"

Hayama shook his head helplessly. Although Hatake Sakumo led him to summon many high-status ninjas last night, he could not count on them at all.

Maybe they would give Hayama certain conveniences for Hatake Sakumo's sake, but it would be a fool's errand to make them determined to follow Hayama.

"Introduced a few people to me, but they are completely useless now."

Uchiha Fugaku looked unhappy and continued: "Where is the new leader of the civilian ninja group?"

Hayama looked at his friend strangely and asked, "Why was Hatake Sakumo forced to die?"

"..."

Uchiha Fugaku understood that a large part of the reason why Hatake Sakumo was forced to die was because he had the say in the civilian ninja group, which made the top management unhappy.

"Hey, let's have breakfast first."

After letting out a long sigh, Uchiha Fugaku had no choice but to take the lead and walked towards a breakfast shop that had opened not long ago.

Ye Shan was also helpless. The cakes in the village were only so big and they were all divided neatly. He could only stare at them.It's not that the Uzumaki clan didn't think of joining the Leaf Village to ensure the continuation of their bloodline, but they were secretly rejected.There are only so many resources, and no one else is allowed to get involved, even if you are a member of the Uzumaki clan that has been friendly for generations.

......

Ever since Kakashi made his choice that morning, Hayama has never set foot in the Hatake clan's mansion again, even if it seemed a bit callous to do so.

A few days later, when the condolence messengers sent by the daimyo arrived in Konoha Village, the funeral entered the final stage.Hatake Sakumo's body will be cremated, placed in an unusually exquisite box, and buried on the right side of the Hokage's tomb, indicating his great military exploits.

Hayama still didn't go to see Hatake Sakumo off for the last time. He seemed to have disappeared into the village, and no one was seen all day long.

In a dense jungle outside Konoha Village, Hayama was sitting on a large bare branch, holding a burning cigarette in his hand and looking in the direction of Konoha Cemetery.

Hayama fell in love with the taste of tobacco, enjoying the burning and clarity it brought, and began to smoke cigarettes all the time.Ye Shan knew the dangers of tobacco, but he just liked it, as if all the fatigue in his body would dissipate in the smoke.

Perhaps this is the only reason why every adult loves to smoke. Only at this moment can they find some solace in their increasingly busy days.

After all, Hatake Sakumo's body was not cremated in public, so no one knew what was in the box that was finally held in Kakashi's arms.

Hayama didn't believe that the ashes of Hatake Sakumo would be in the box. It wasn't that he thought too darkly, but it was actually the body of a Kage-level powerhouse that was extremely precious. Until now, the cells of the first Hokage are still Konoha's secrets. Breeding in a laboratory, let alone Hatake Sakumo.

A cigarette burned out quickly, and Ye Shan felt the slight stinging sensation in his throat. Finally, he continued to light the cigarette, but did not smoke it. He just held it in his hand, as if he was saying goodbye to his former guide.

At this time, a beautiful figure came into Hayama's eyes. The light yellow hair and exquisite face revealed the identity of the person - Senju Tsunade.

Today, Tsunade did not wear a ninja-style vest, but instead wore casual home clothes. She looked more gorgeous and less murderous.

Ye Shan's eyes unconsciously stayed on a certain part that was about to come out, and his originally sad mood seemed to get better with the bounce of that touching place...

"Does it look good?"

A faint voice sounded in Ye Shan's ears, and it was accompanied by the fresh and delicious smell of orchids, which made him unconsciously nod.

"The needle doesn't poke!"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Ye Shan felt extremely regretful. Before he could say anything to make up for it, a white fist appeared in his sight.

Not a trace of chakra was leaked from this punch, but the terrifyingly high density of chakra in the punch was not revealed, but it was like a raging tsunami, still at the moment when it was about to be captured.

Nothing dares to stand in the way of the accumulated momentum of this punch. Compared with the usual unbridled fists, this is Tsunade's true strength!

Ye Shan was horrified, and eight words popped up in his mind involuntarily: Concentrate and reach the top.

Without any hesitation, traces of lightning appeared on Ye Shan's body and disappeared from the tree trunk just before his fist hit his face.

Facts have proved that no one should act like a hooligan in any world, especially in the Naruto world, because you have no idea what the consequences of doing so will be.

Ye Shan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and smiled bitterly. At that moment, he was overtaken in a corner and drifting at a high speed in front of him, almost losing his car and killing everyone.

"Tsunade-sama, why are you here?"

He who knows the current affairs is a hero, and Hayama has always been a flexible and adaptable ninja.

Tsunade slowly retracted her fist, raised it as if to demonstrate, and said lightly: "I should ask this question, why are you here?"

"Because it's clean and densely wooded, it's a good place to be sad."

In front of Tsunade, Hayama didn't dare to lie, for fear that the other party would punch him again if he felt unhappy.

Strangely, Tsunade was also feeling a little depressed. Only then did Hayama realize that the other person was holding a handful of white flowers in his other hand, which looked solemn in the winter.

Tsunade sat where Hayama had just been, puffing up her cheeks and blowing on the remaining soot, looking up at the gray sky, her whole person was sad and beautiful.

"You know, these trees have extremely strong vitality and are much taller than their ordinary counterparts."

There was a bit of sadness in his calm tone.

"Since the first generation of adults, the Thousand Hands clan has had an order."

"All members of the Thousand Hands Clan must be at the forefront on the battlefield."

"The first step is to fight, and the last step is to retreat. For these eight words, the members of the Thousand Hands clan fell on the battlefield one after another."

"According to regulations, the corpses of all clan members will be buried in this jungle. This is why they have strong vitality."

Hayama was silent. He always remembered the sacrifices made by the Senju clan for the village, even if the family disappeared in the long river of history.

"Forefathers planted trees for future generations to enjoy the shade. The Senju clan is undoubtedly a great clan. Without the Senju, there would be no current Konoha Village. I have always believed so firmly."

"Forefathers planted trees for future generations to enjoy the shade..."

Tsunade murmured these words, her bright eyes flashing with emotion.

"Thank you Hayama."

Tsunade said seriously, with two lines of tears streaming down her face.
