Konoha's Five Attributes Ninja

Ye Shan squatted on the ground and sobbed for a while, then suddenly stood up, wiped the tears from his face, and regained his facial expression, which surprised several people in the room.

"Let's go. Even if we cry in the open and in the dark, it's hard to believe that we can make Chen cry to death. What we have to do is to live with dignity."

After saying that, Ye Shan picked up the Sukiyaki on the table, picked up a set of bowls and chopsticks, and was the first to walk out of this depressing house.

Uchiha Fugaku came to the side of Tatsuya's mother and whispered about the course of the mission, especially that the murderer who directly killed Yamashiro Tatsuya had been killed by Yeshan himself, which calmed Tatsuya's mother down.

When they arrived at the Konoha Hospital, they took a last look at Yamashiro Tatsuya, restrained him, and had him carried by four Uchiha ninjas, heading straight for the Nanhe River.

Nanhe was at the southernmost side of the Konoha Village, opposite to the direction of the Konoha Cemetery. The Anbu who had been observing secretly could no longer sit still and reported to the higher-ups immediately.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was struggling with the Water Country, and when he heard the report from the Anbu, he was furious. It would have been fine if Yeshan ignored the instructions of the higher-ups outside the village, after all, when ninjas were on missions, there would be all kinds of accidents, and they needed to respond flexibly; but disposing of the bodies of the ninjas directly under the village was simply a slap in his face, and a public declaration that he, the Hokage, was unpopular!

Sarutobi Hiruzen could no longer sit still, and brought a few Anbu ninjas with him and quickly came to the funeral procession, trying to change everything.

At this time, Ye Shan was holding a large bowl of Sukiyaki, but he was still not wearing the black mourning clothes, but just a vest. He was not surprised at the appearance of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Hokage-sama is very busy, but I didn't expect him to come in person to see Yamashiro Tatsuya off. I am really grateful."

Ye Shan took a step forward and raised his voice to make sure that the villagers watching around could hear what he said clearly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face froze, anger flashed in his eyes, but he immediately said sadly: "Yamashiro Tatsuya is an outstanding ninja in the village, a hero who died fighting for the Will of Fire. Even if I am very busy as the Hokage, I still have time to come and see him off."

Glancing at the villagers who were watching, Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his voice and said, "Any ninja who sacrifices for the village and the Will of Fire is great and should be treated with respect by the village. Konoha's Heroic Garden was built for this purpose. Yamashiro Tatsu is a hero and should be buried in the Heroic Garden so that he can be commemorated. Don't you think so?"

Ye Shan stared expressionlessly at the ninja who once dominated the ninja world. He sneered in his heart and said in a flat voice: "It is only natural that the ninjas who sacrificed for the village should be buried in the Heroic Spirit Garden, but Yamashiro Tatsuya's last wish was to be buried by the Nanga River. The Hokage also knows that the dead are the greatest. I have no choice but to do this."

According to regulations, the remains of ninjas should be buried in the Heroic Spirit Garden, but there are exceptions, such as ninjas from the Bloodline Family, some ninjas who have been famous for a long time, and ninjas who left a will before their death.

Yamashiro Tatsu was one of those people who left a will, and Hayama did not lie about this matter. The two had agreed to be buried by the Nanga River after their death, which Uchiha Fugaku could also prove.

Uchiha Fugaku stepped forward, bowed, and said respectfully: "Hokage-sama, I can testify to this. Yamashiro Tatsu once said that he wanted to be buried by the Nanga River. I guarantee this as the young patriarch of the Uchiha clan."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression softened a bit, and he said, "If that's the case, why don't you apply to the village for a record? The village has always made special arrangements for such matters, and I think it won't delay or affect his burial."

The villagers watching around nodded and began to point at Yeshan, obviously favoring the Hokage.

With a calm expression, Ye Shan handed the Sukiyaki in his hand to Uchiha Fugaku beside him, took out a scroll from his arms and opened it in front of everyone.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyelids jumped and he wanted to open his mouth to stop him, but it was too late.

"bang"

After a puff of smoke, three bloody heads were seen on the ground, shocking the onlookers so much that they cried out in surprise and took a few steps back.

Ye Shan pointed at the head of the Mist Ninja and said, "I wanted to apply according to the existing procedures, but the situation does not allow it. If it is too late, the blood of these sacrifices will dry up. I am afraid that Yamashiro Tatsuno can't wait down there. Please forgive me, Hokage."

The temperature in Konoha Village in winter is very low. Although it is not as cold as the Snow Country where it snows all year round, it is still extremely cold. A gust of cold wind swept by, blowing up the hair covering Yagura's face, revealing his unbelievable face in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes, his heart filled with murderous intent, and a captivating aura burst out from his thin body and landed accurately on Yeshan.

Ye Shan felt a chill all over his body, and his limbs seemed to be tied by invisible ropes and he couldn't move. He couldn't help but feel a little horrified. He immediately activated the chakra in his body and fought back without hesitation.

The two of them just stood in the middle of the street, staring into each other's eyes, secretly condensing their chakra into a sword, fighting back and forth.

Ye Shan's face gradually turned pale and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. After all, he was no match for Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Uchiha Fugaku held Sukiyaki in one hand and patted Hayama on the back with the other hand seemingly unintentionally. The auras of the two merged into one, and in an instant, Sarutobi Hiruzen's aura was unceremoniously deflected.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's calm face blossomed like a chrysanthemum, and he said with a smile: "It's okay, special matters will be handled specially, I understand."

After that, he turned to the villagers who were watching and said, "Any ninja who sacrifices for the good of the village is a hero. I solemnly promise this in the name of the Hokage!"

The surrounding villagers were excited and praised the Hokage's kindness and the wonderful life they had today.

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and preached the Will of Fire, then left on the pretext of being busy with official business. However, the look he gave Yeshan before leaving was so meaningful.

The funeral went smoothly. There were no long and inspiring speeches, no lines of sad-looking people offering flowers, and no gloomy, rainy weather.

It was a sunny afternoon. Yamashiro Tatsu's coffin was covered by the soil that Yeshan shoveled up, and along with it was the extremely ordinary life of an ordinary ninja.

Born, learning to walk, going to school, fighting, and dying, it seems that every ninja's life is like this, like a series of designed codes, and there will never be any accidents.

When the sun jumped below the horizon, the funeral of Konoha's Jonin Yamashiro Tatsuya came to an end. Yamashiro Tatsuya's mother and sister were sent back home by the clansmen sent by Uchiha Fugaku, while Yeshan took out a tent from the scroll and set it up not far from the grave, as if he was planning to live there.

Uchiha Fugaku didn't say anything, he knew why Ye Shan lived here. The three heads placed on the grave of Yamashiro Tatsuya were a great attraction for all ninjas. If they could get some secret techniques from them, it would be a sure win.

Ye Shan lived here to announce to everyone that the head of the Mist Ninja was a trophy and a sacrifice. Anyone who wanted to get his hands on it had to go through him, whether it was a Mist Hidden in Konoha spy or an invisible ninja buried underground.

Uchiha Fugaku summoned some ninja tools and handed them to Yeshan who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, including a special short sword.

"Food will be delivered by the tribesmen on time. If you need anything else, just let me know."

Ye Shan nodded, took the ninja tool and put it on the ground, thought about it, picked up the short sword again, and then looked at his face with the blade.

Uchiha Fugaku didn't say anything. He sighed deeply and left.

Time passed in the cold wind, and before he knew it, stars appeared in the sky. Ye Shan raised his head and looked at the stars with some loneliness. Perhaps, Yamashiro Chen had become one of them.

The sound of footsteps interrupted Ye Shan's fantasy. He was still sitting cross-legged, but his hands were silently making seals.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and a delicate face appeared under the starlight, with a hint of sadness.

"It's you?"

Ye Shan was shocked. He never expected that the person who came was his former teammate, Yamanaka Yuura.

Yamanaka Yuura was dressed in black mourning clothes, with no trace of makeup on her face. She was holding a bouquet of white flowers in her hand, and it was obvious that she had come to pay tribute to Yamashiro Tatsuya.

Yamanaka Yuura looked calmly at Ye Shan who was sitting on the ground and said softly, "Long time no see, Captain Ye Shan."

Ye Shan stood up hurriedly and said apologetically: "I didn't expect you to come, so..."

"It's okay, Captain. A ninja should be cautious. That's what you taught me, wasn't it?"

Ye Shan scratched his head and said, "Are you here to visit Chen?"

Yamanaka Yuura nodded, took a few steps lightly, walked around Ye Shan and came to the small grave. She first bowed, and then gently placed the bouquet of flowers next to the head.

After doing all this, she took a few steps back and came to Ye Shan's side again, looking at the captain with whom she had once fought, and then she found that his eyes were full of fatigue.

"Captain, have you had a very hard time these years?"

Ye Shan was stunned for a moment, took out a crumpled cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took a deep puff, then said: "It's okay, I'm actually doing pretty well. But I haven't heard from you in these years, how are you doing?"

Yamanaka Yuura raised his right leg and said, "A disabled ninja, a ninja who can no longer perform missions, naturally lives a more comfortable life."

Ye Shan was silent, took a puff of cigarette, and exhaled slowly, letting the smoke fill his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression.

"Has anyone in the family made things difficult for you?"

The voice is a little cold.

Yamanaka Yuura shook his head and said, "I am no longer a ninja. No one will embarrass me."

After a pause, she continued, "I'm getting married."

Ye Shan was slightly stunned and asked, "Is he a ninja?"

"No, an ordinary person."

"Oh..."

The burning cigarette finally came to an end. Ye Shan extinguished the spark and said, "Have you ever thought about doing something?"

You Luo smoothed the hair on his forehead and smiled gently: "I plan to open a meatball shop, and the captain must come often."

Ye Shan didn't say anything. He took out a stack of money from his pocket and handed it to his former teammate in front of him.

Yamanaka Yuura's eyes were red, and without saying a word, she suddenly squatted down, her long hair scattered on her back and slightly undulating.

Ye Shan was at a loss, not knowing what he had done wrong. He squatted down, hesitated for a moment, and patted her shoulder with one hand.

Yamanaka Yuura grabbed his hand, held it tightly, and said with a sob: "Thank you, thank you..."

"Thank you for helping a disabled person like me, and thank you for letting go of the past grudges. Thank you..."

"We are companions. It's too formal to say these things."

"But," Yamanaka Yuura raised his head and stared into Ye Shan's eyes. "How can a friend betray his friend to beg for resources?"

Ye Shan shook his head slowly, stuffed the money into her hands, and said, "Anyway, I'm very happy that you can come to visit Chen."

"You know, you are the first companion to come and visit him, that's enough."

"What's past is past. I did do something wrong back then, but from now on, we're even."

"From now on, we will still be friends."

Yamanaka Yuura couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears. Her tears dripped onto Ye Shan's hands, then slid to the ground and disappeared.

That night, Yamanaka Yuura slept in the tent built by Ye Shan and slept very soundly.

Ye Shan just stood between Shancheng Chen's tomb and the tent, as if he was guarding the two of them.

Time seemed to have returned to the moment on the battlefield, two people were lying down to rest, and one was standing guard, which made Ye Shan dazed.

But Ye Shan is an adult, he knows clearly that everything is different. When the sun rises again, Yamanaka Yuura will be able to wake up, but Yamashiro Chen will never be able to.

People always feel at some point in time that they have experienced something, as if it was destined.

Two tears fell to the ground, they were the youth and best friend of a ninja.
