Konoha's Five Attributes Ninja

Chapter 213 The moon is the brightness of my hometown

The tired Uchiha Itachi leaned on Ye Shan's shoulder and fell asleep. In order not to wake him up, Ye Shan stood in front of the tent holding the little body and considerately blocked the scorching sun with his palms.

Nara Shikaku came over covered in blood, holding a few pieces of paper in his hands, looking like he was reporting on his work, but Ye Shan signaled him to be quiet.

After Yeshan carefully placed Uchiha Itachi on the chair, the two of them went outside the tent again, looked at the scenery in the distance and started a conversation.

Before speaking, Ye Shan habitually took out a cigarette and handed it to Nara Shikaku, who then took out a match and lit it for Ye Shan.

"Hiss~Huh"

Ye Shan squinted his eyes and felt the comfort brought by the tobacco leaves. He slowly said, "You are not obliged to report to me. You are the chief steward of the Hokage's office, in charge of all the confidential documents of the village, while I have no job. But now it seems that there is no choice but my village."

There is really no other choice. A ninja's status is determined by strength. Even the three famous ninjas cannot defeat the Raikage and the Tsuchikage, at least not for now.

Nara Shikaku exhaled smoke. He was a smart man and knew what to do and when to do it, so he came to report as soon as the battle was over, which was equivalent to expressing his attitude in disguise.

"Master Ye Shan, this is the latest statistics table, please take a look."

A few pieces of paper were handed to him. Ye Shan took the cigarette with his left hand while holding it in his right hand. After looking at them carefully for a few seconds, he handed them back.

"Things like this can be handled as usual. I will attend the distribution of pensions and memorial services, and I will also visit the injured ninjas to offer my condolences, but I will not go to the capital, as it is too far away and will take up too much time."

Nara Shikaku nodded calmly, but his heart was lifted. According to convention, the Kage of Konoha Village should be appointed by the Daimyo himself. After all, in name, the Daimyo is the master of the Land of Fire, and the Hokage acts as a military leader. But Ye Shan refused to go to the capital. Does this mean that he dislikes the Daimyo's appointment?

"Sir," Nara Shikaku hesitated for a moment, but still reminded him, "According to the rules, you should accept the appointment of the daimyo before becoming Hokage. You must go to the capital city anyway."

Ye Shan glanced at the other party, threw away the half-smoked cigarette in his hand and asked nonchalantly: "I have a question, who appointed the first Hokage?"

"this..."

Nara Shikaku was speechless. He appointed Hashirama Senju to be the Hokage himself. At that time, there was no such thing as daimyo. The first daimyo was still a lord, not the nominal master of the Land of Fire.

The so-called one village one country system was created by Hashirama Senju. This system cleverly separated the military and financial powers of the country. In simple terms, the daimyo provided the necessary operating funds and materials for the village, and the ninja village was responsible for foreign wars and maintaining peace.

In Yeshan's opinion, the one village, one country system is undoubtedly a failure. Ninjas control more than 90% of the military power in the ninja world, and they should also occupy more than 90% of the financial power, instead of providing support for a group of ordinary people to abuse their power.

"Compared to these trivial matters, I would like to know where the remains of the Third Generation are. Have you sent anyone to look for them?"

Nara Shikaku said solemnly and sadly: "The body of the Third Master has been found, but only half of it..."

Ye Shan was startled and asked hurriedly, "What does half mean?"

"Only the left half of the body remains. The right half was destroyed by Ōnoki's Dust Release."

"Ugh!"

Ye Shan let out a long sigh, lamenting the unpredictability of life. Sarutobi Hiruzen had a high status in his lifetime and his words were law in the village, but he did not expect that he would die so miserably. But no matter how you look at it, he had made contributions to the village and a grand funeral was necessary.

"Order the front-line ninjas to put aside all tasks. Except for the ninjas needed to maintain the front line, all of them must return to the village within three days to attend the funeral of the Third Hokage!" Ye Shan ordered.

Nara Shikaku said in embarrassment: "If we withdraw a large number of ninjas, the enemy may take advantage of the situation. Do you think we should return to the village in batches to pay tribute to the Third Generation?"

"Haha!" Ye Shan sneered.

"Send an envoy to tell the leaders of Sand Village, Mist Village, and Rock Village that if they dare to take advantage of the opportunity to advance the battle line, don't blame me for going to their villages to greet them."

What is domineering? This is domineering! Ye Shan's words are sonorous and powerful. His words are more effective than imperial edicts now! You don't accept it? The Raikage and the Tsuchikage are your lessons!

Nara Shikaku took out a small notebook and wrote down Hayama's order word for word, like a professional clerk.

Ye Shan was quite speechless. He was really not used to the other party's careful serving, so he said: "Don't remember, leave these small things to the ninjas below, your responsibility is to be responsible for the operation of government affairs."

"I plan to set up a Hokage office. The office will be divided into the Intelligence Department, the Torture Department, the Barrier Squad, and the Security Department. It will be responsible for reception, village security, and assisting the Hokage. You will be the director."

Nara Shikaku's heart trembled, and the sudden arrival of the pie made his breathing heavy. He was only in his twenties, and his mission experience and strength were not outstanding. He never thought that he would be valued, especially when Hayama was the Hokage.

"My Lord, I'm afraid this is inappropriate?"

"What's wrong with that? If I say you can do it, then you can do it! If anyone else has any opinions, just let them come to me." Ye Shan said without question.

As if he was tired of standing, Ye Shan sat down on the ground without caring about his image, and then waved his hand to signal the other party to sit down as well: "Of course, the office is complicated and you can't handle it alone. I will let Hinata Hiashi and Uchiha Seiji serve as deputy directors, and you will arrange the specific division of labor."

"Okay!" Nara Shikaku replied respectfully, as if he didn't care that he had been deprived of power.

"Don't worry, it's not that I don't trust you, but there will be a lot of things that the village will have to deal with in the future. Not only will the office have to add two deputy directors, but the Hokage will also have two deputy Hokages."

"Deputy Hokage?" Nara Shikaku was dumbfounded. There was a deputy position for a position like Hokage? This was really eye-opening.

Ye Shan smiled and said, "This is all for the future. You are not an outsider anyway, so I will tell you. But you have to keep it a secret and not let anyone else know."

The fact that he was not an outsider warmed Nara Shikaku's heart: "Sir, do you want to work in a different office?"

Ye Shan shook his head: "No need, just change the desk."

"I got it."

The two fell into silence. Yeshan stared into the distance, wondering what he was thinking, while Nara Shikaku held his breath and thought quickly about how to fulfill his duties as office director conscientiously.

"By the way, don't forget to notify the daimyo to attend the funeral of the third generation." After a long time, Ye Shan said as if he had just thought of it.

"Um???"

For a moment, Nara Shikaku couldn't guess what Yeshan meant. Should the daimyo attend the funeral in person or send an envoy? After thinking about it again and again, Nara Shikaku decided not to ask. He would just send someone to invite the daimyo to the village. Anyway, he had no reason to refuse.

Until the setting sun dyed the earth red, Ye Shan still sat there, smoking one cigarette after another, looking like he was troubled by something.

A team of ninjas came over carrying a stretcher. There seemed to be a person lying on the stretcher, covered with a white cloth. The surrounding ninjas followed behind spontaneously, forming a long team.

Nara Shikaku guessed that the body of the Third Hokage had arrived, and hurriedly whispered a reminder to the dazed Hayama.

Ye Shan came to his senses, slowly stood up, straightened his clothes and went to meet him.

The ninjas carrying the stretcher were all very old, with traces of time on their faces, and one of them even had white hair, but they all had a high aura that was not comparable to that of ordinary jonin.

"Sir, the body of the Third Hokage has arrived. Please arrange the follow-up matters."

The four ninjas carrying the stretcher half-knelt and saluted in unison, and the hundreds of ninjas following behind did the same. From Ye Shan's perspective, a parallel line of skulls appeared before his eyes, but the stretcher was held high.

"Stand up. You don't need to kneel when you see me in the future. Just make a hand seal and salute me."

Everyone stood up. Ye Shan walked to the stretcher and stared at the white cloth. He hesitated for a moment but didn't lift it. "Go and notify the Hidden Cloud Village to send the ice coffin. The weather is too hot and the body can't be preserved well."

Ye Shan deliberately made things difficult for the Hidden Cloud Village. You have to know that it was midsummer, so where did the ice coffin come from? The Hidden Mist Village was the only one in the entire ninja world that possessed the Ice Release Bloodline, but Ye Shan didn't care. The Third Hokage was killed by the Kumo Ninja, so the debt should naturally be counted on them.

Everyone entered the tent and placed Sarutobi Hiruzen's body in a proper place. Someone prepared sandalwood, white candles and other items. Soon, the Raikage's command center became the Hokage's mourning hall.

When the moon was at its fullest, the Hidden Cloud Village actually sent an ice coffin, which was beautifully made with many patterns engraved on it.

Yeshan let Nara Shikaku arrange things, and he walked out of the tent again, into a dense forest, and admired the moon with a missing corner.

He is a typical vulgar man. To say that he appreciates the moon is flattering him. It would be more appropriate to describe him as being in a daze.

The souls of their hometown will miss their hometown, especially in two situations: one is when they are in poverty and miss it, the other is when they are rich and miss it.

Ye Shan has really become rich. From today on, he has become the most powerful ninja in the ninja world. Every thought of his can be satisfied, as can be seen from the fact that the Hidden Cloud Village sent the ice coffin in silence.

At this moment, Ye Shan missed his hometown very much. It was a coastal area with four distinct seasons and abundant resources. People lived a wonderful life, which was far from comparable to the cannibalistic ninja world.

He thought of himself in his previous life who worked from nine to five, of his parents who worked from dawn to dusk to earn enough for a down payment, of his friends who surfed the Internet in groups of three or five, and of the various kinds of food from his hometown.

Unfortunately, he can never go back, really can never go back.

As the ancients said: If you don't return to your hometown when you are rich and powerful, it is like walking in brocade clothes at night. Ye Shan has become a person wearing brocade clothes and walking in the night. Behind him are countless pairs of expectant eyes, and on his shoulders are countless mountains.

The moon is brighter than his hometown. Ye Shan decides to start his own road to rule from an energy that he did not have in his previous life. This ability has its own name - chakra.

What is Chakra? Every ninja can answer the question. It is the basis of all ninjutsu, a necessary substance that makes ninjas different from ordinary people, and it is also the synonym of death.

But Ye Shan felt that they were all wrong, and chakra could also be a symbol of productivity.

If you want to change the landscape of the ninja world, you have to bring in a new system, and chakra is fully capable of doing that.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Yeshan ends the Ninja World War, but he does not think that a hasty end to the Ninja World War is a good thing. Just as he said to the Raikage and Tsuchikage, the blood shed in the Ninja World is not enough, and it is far from enough to make people voluntarily give up their weapons and shake hands in peace.

In the next few years, Yeshan will not interfere in the Ninja World War. He wants to hone the overall quality of Konoha Ninjas, and make the enemy bleed every drop of blood so that they will choose peace from the bottom of their hearts.

Personal force may be able to bring temporary peace, but beneath the surface of peace lies the unrest in people's hearts. The ending of the first Hokage is an example.

Since the enemies are willing to fight, let them fight. Yeshan has more important things to do. He decides to be a rebellious Hokage, a ninja who is condemned by thousands of people, and an enterprising person.
