Konoha's Five Attributes Ninja

Ye Shan had a dream, a very strange dream.

He dreamed that he turned into a bird with three claws and fiery red feathers that sparkled in the sunlight; it had broad wings that were two meters long, so it could fly effortlessly even in a storm; it had a beautiful crest that could easily attract the opposite sex; and it had a pair of eyes that could rotate 360°, emitting a faint cold light.

However, it is very strange that this bird is extremely weird. It can only fly in the air without stopping. Once it falls to the ground, its whole body will inexplicably catch fire. If it does not fly again in time, it will soon turn into a piece of charcoal.

The bird kept flying in the sky, like a flame cutting through the sky, and as brilliant as a meteor. But Ye Shan gradually became anxious. He realized that the abundant energy in his body was disappearing during the flight, and his light wings became heavier. He knew that if he didn't stop, he would die of exhaustion.

But if he stopped, he would have to endure the pain of the burning flames. The pain was not only physical, but it seemed to pierce his soul, making it unbearable.

Helpless, facing death and pain, Ye Shan could only choose to rest for a short time, and fly again after recovering a little bit of strength.

This dream was so real and terrifying that Ye Shan could clearly feel the fragrance in the air, the raindrops during a thunderstorm, the scorching sun, and the wind resistance during flight. What was even more helpless was that he even felt hungry.

He transformed himself into a bird, flying day after day and year after year, not knowing where the end of his flight was, nor what the meaning of life was.

The once sharp eyes were filled with fatigue, the once gorgeous feathers were covered with burns, and the once plump wings became tattered, but it still flew without stopping.

On this day, Ye Shan wanted to stop to rest and find food as usual, but suddenly his eyes lit up and a lush bamboo forest appeared not far ahead.

Ye Shan was delighted. A bamboo forest meant fresh and delicious bamboo shoots to eat. Even though he was a bird now, he still couldn't get used to eating nutritious but disgusting insects.

He no longer hesitated, flapped his wings vigorously, and dived towards the bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest was lush, swaying slowly in the wind, making a rustling sound. Ye Shan glanced around and quickly locked onto a tall and green bamboo, stopping on it.

"call"

The flames came as expected the moment Ye Shan stopped, but he didn't care at all. Over the years, he had already figured out the intensity and pattern of the flames, and a little pain was not worth mentioning. Filling his stomach was more important at the moment.

"what..."

At this moment, a small bamboo shoot attracted Ye Shan's attention, and he looked at it while enduring the pain of burning flames.

This bamboo shoot is not big, only the size of an adult's fist, and it is dark and inconspicuous. But it actually grows on a huge rock. What's even more terrifying is that there is a tiny crack in the middle of the top of the rock.

Ye Shan's eyes gradually became moist. What kind of bamboo shoot is this? It grew from underground and thought it would soon drill out of the soft soil, but it didn't expect a huge rock to press on it, blocking its way to breathe fresh air and receive the baptism of sunlight. However, it refused to admit defeat and continued to take root underground to accumulate strength. It actually penetrated the rock little by little and stood proudly on the rock that once blocked it, showing its magnificent vitality.

Ye Shan's body began to tremble, not because of the burning flames, the pain was nothing, but because he was shocked by the tiny bamboo shoot in front of him.

Isn't this bamboo shoot the person he once was? He has been trying hard to survive in the ninja world, but there are always people who want him to die, but he just won't die. Not only does he not want to die, he also wants to accumulate strength and fiercely penetrate the bodies of those who block him, standing on their bodies to declare his tenacity and attitude.

Yes, he should have lived a glorious life, should have enjoyed the fresh air without worries, should have accepted the baptism of wind and rain with ease, should have proudly shuttled through the air, instead of being like now, foraging for food in a clumsy manner, resting in fear, and soaring exhaustedly!

Someone once said: I would rather die than live without freedom. Freedom is a necessity for the survival of an intelligent creature. It can satisfy the spiritual life of a creature to the greatest extent. In order to enjoy freedom, a creature would not hesitate even if it were to die!

Ye Shan's eyes became sharp again. He spread his wide wings, raised his head high, opened his broken mouth, and let out a loud and captivating cry.

He jumped down from the bamboo and carefully walked to the seemingly indestructible boulder. He stared at the tiny bamboo shoot for a long time, letting the flames on his body burn.

First the feathers, then the skin, then the muscles and internal organs, and finally the skeleton. The merciless flames burned everything on Ye Shan, burning his flesh, but it could not burn out the light in his eyes.

A gentle breeze blew, gently picking up the last thing Ye Shan left in this world - his ashes, and sent it to the side of the bamboo shoot, and then continued to blow away into the distance.

The proud bird chose death for freedom, the tenacious bamboo shoots penetrated the indestructible rock for freedom, the dying Ye Shan gained life in his dream, and the living Yamashiro Chen died with a smile for the light in his heart.

There are newborns and old ones in the world; there are poor and rich ones; there are healthy ones and sick ones, but no matter what, as long as they are alive, there must be something in their hearts that supports them. This thing is varied, whether it is faith, money, family affection, love, friendship, or dreams, even a spring in the mountains, even a trivial wind, even the sunshine that everyone is accustomed to, even a flower on the roadside, can become the source of support for living things to survive.

From today on, there are two more things that keep Ye Shan alive - freedom and entrustment.

The emotion of sadness did not appear in Ye Shan's body at this moment. Perhaps this emotion would erupt while eating after the training, or in the dead of night, or when he encountered delicious food but could not share it, or on a sunny day, but not now.

There was only pain, a piercing pain. Ye Shan didn't understand why people had to fight and form factions, and why some people would do something even though they knew it would lead to their death.

All of this was something he had never experienced in his previous life, and he had to experience it personally in this life, and he had to endure all the ups and downs alone.

Looking at Shancheng Chen's face, Baiyun Yeshan reached out to help him tidy up his clothes, gently brushed the dust off his face, and then expressed his thoughts.

"Fuck you, Yamashiro Chen, you are such an idiot."
