Konoha's Five Attributes Ninja

On the second day after Hayama took office as the Fourth Hokage, Nara Shikaku walked in with a helpless look on his face and reported: "Hokage, Hirahara-kun has cancelled his upcoming activities and asked to return to the capital today. Do you think you can persuade him to stay?"

If no one hadn't said anything, Ye Shan would have almost forgotten about this. He did have something he needed to discuss with the daimyo, but unfortunately the daimyo didn't come to Konoha, so he had to make plans later.

"Since he wants to go back, let him go back. You can observe the proper etiquette. Now is a war time, and I don't have time to play hard to get tricks with these nobles." Ye Shan bluntly exposed the other party's true purpose. He is not a conservative Hokage like Sarutobi Hiruzen, so he naturally has no good feelings towards the so-called aristocratic class. This is a genetic inheritance from his previous life.

"Also, tell him to send the money right away. The urgent reports from the front are piling up!"

Nara Shikaku looked even more helpless. He hoped that Ye Shan could sit down and negotiate with the daimyo calmly. Both parties were the most powerful people in the Land of Fire, so there was really no need to openly tear each other apart. "Hokage-sama, do you think it would be a good idea to send an official letter?"

Sending an official letter appears more formal and polite. After all, the daimyo is not a subordinate of the Hokage, so it is not nice to order him around.

Ye Shan raised his eyebrows impatiently. What a shitty Daimyo. He was used to being treated like that by Sarutobi Hiruzen. You want him to put on airs in front of the Second Hokage? He wouldn't dare to do that even if he had a hundred guts!

How did that saying go? To restore the dignity of the Hokage, Ye Shan had no choice but to do it. He just wanted to make the money while standing!

"No need to send a letter!" Ye Shan stood up and stared out the window, his expression calm, "Just let them know, and we'll handle everything the same way in the future."

"Yes!" Nara Shikaku finally realized the anger hidden in Yeshan's heart and agreed directly.

"Sir, there is one more thing I need your attention to," Nara Shikaku methodically picked up the teapot and poured out the cold water, picked up a dozen tea leaves and put them in, then filled the pot with about 70% of hot water and poured a cup for Ye Shan considerately, "To be precise, there is someone you need to take care of."

Ye Shan turned around, picked up the steaming hot tea, took a sip and asked in surprise: "Who would call you, the office director? Could it be Sarutobi Hiruzen's illegitimate son?"

Nara Shikaku smiled bitterly. He found that the master in front of him was really difficult to serve. He had an eccentric way of thinking, and his words were always half true and half false, making it difficult to understand.

"Of course not. She is the younger sister of the late Konoha Jonin Yamashiro Tatsuya. She was promoted to Chunin just last month and will be sent out on a mission soon."

"!!!"

Ye Shan slowly put down the teacup in his hand, his face turned unusually pale. He walked around the office with his hands behind his back, his brows full of worry.

"Go and arrange it. Put her in the non-combat sequence..." Ye Shan opened his mouth, then rejected his own order: "Forget it, bring her information to me first."

Nara Shikaku reached into his ninja tool bag and pulled out a few folded pieces of paper, laying them neatly on Yeshan's desk. It was obvious that he came prepared.

Ye Shan walked quickly to the desk, sat down, bent over and looked at the documents carefully, a feeling of sourness rising from the bottom of his heart.

After looking for a long time, Ye Shan sighed, took out a ninja card from his arms and handed it to Nara Shikaku. The latter took it respectfully but did not dare to look at it directly.

Even a fool can guess the importance of ninja cards to Yeshan, otherwise he would not keep them close to him. Nara Shikaku is a smart man, he will never look at the contents of the card before receiving orders.

"Take a look, aren't the two people's data almost the same?" Ye Shan said.

Nara Shikaku then looked at them and was shocked to find that the brother and sister were very similar in terms of chakra attributes, types of ninjutsu, and attack methods. They were even the type with taciturn and poor expressive personalities. He could not help but be amazed.

"Sir, according to the rules, high-level missions in the village should be issued by the Hokage himself. Especially since the Third Hokage passed away not long ago, everyone is eager to communicate with you face to face. Would you like to take some time in the afternoon to visit the mission office and cheer everyone up?" Nara Shikaku gave a subtle reminder.

The purpose of coming to guide the work was fake, the purpose of taking the opportunity to see old friends was real; cheering the ninja on was secondary, the purpose of abusing power for personal gain was primary.

Ye Shan's fingers tapped the table in a disorderly manner. After struggling for a moment, he said, "That's right. As a Hokage, I need to go out more often. I can't always stay in the office to read documents. Otherwise, won't it become a decoration after a long time?"

"Then I'll arrange it right away!" Nara Shikaku said as he was about to walk out.

"Wait!" Ye Shan groaned, "Go and see if Fugaku has anything to do this afternoon. If not, call him along. Also, don't go this afternoon. Let Uchiha Seiji go with you."

Nara Shikaku nodded calmly, indicating that he would fully obey the arrangements.

Ye Shan sat on the chair, put away the worn ninja card with a complicated expression, and told himself that this was only the first time and it would not happen again.

To be honest, Ye Shan hated those in power who abused their power for personal gain, because he was one of the victims. If it weren't for the former mission director Sarutobi Hinata's revenge, he wouldn't have gone to the opposite side. But when someone really asked him for help, he found it difficult to say no.

It should be noted that Yeshan is not a saint who has established himself as a saint. He is a living person. Although he has always held himself to high standards, he is first and foremost a person, and only then a ninja or Hokage.

Just yesterday, Ye Shan vowed to himself that he would be selfless and use public power for public benefit, but she is the blood-related sister of Yamashiro Tatsuya! As long as Ye Shan is still a human being, he cannot sit idly by and watch Yamashiro Tatsuya's sister walk into the battlefield full of dangers, even if many Konoha ninjas have already stepped into it.

......

After lunch, Ye Shan, accompanied by several people, came to the mission office of Konohagakure. It was a three-story building. It looked inconspicuous but was very important.

The new director of the mission department is a Hyuga clan ninja who is about 40 years old. He looks serious and has the temperament of a big family.

"Hokage, we have worked hard on this journey. I, along with all the staff of the mission office, warmly welcome you to come and give us your guidance. This is our honor!"

Ye Shan smiled and nodded, and said in a gentle voice: "You all have worked really hard for the village. I am not here today to make a big talk or to give orders. I just want to take a look at the daily operation mode of the mission department."

The head of the mission department, who had received a reminder from Nara Shikaku, said with a smile, "Hokage-sama is very busy, and it is our honor that he can take time out to come. It just so happens that several outstanding ninjas are about to be assigned to teams. In order to be fair and just, I suggest that Hokage-sama assign them personally."

Ye Shan waved his hand and said, "I won't interfere. Uchiha Fugaku is the deputy Hokage in charge of the mission office, so let him take charge."

"Okay, everyone, please come in. The ninjas are already waiting in the conference room."

Ye Shan was dressed very formally today, not only wearing the Hokage's haori, but also a bamboo hat. He adjusted the Hokage's bamboo hat, hid his face in the shadows, and walked in with steady steps past the crowd.

The meeting room of the mission office did not have a closed door, so when Ye Shan just stepped onto the second floor, dozens of young ninjas appeared in front of him. They were all wearing Konoha's standard vest and had excitement on their faces.

Ye Shan glanced around and soon found a pretty girl sitting in the corner on the left. It was Yamashiro Tatsuya's sister whom he hadn't seen for several years.

It is difficult to describe Ye Shan's mood with words or language. In short, he is in a complicated mood. He wants to cancel the other party's qualification to become a ninja directly, and wants the other party to live a stable life, but he is afraid that it will be too much.

The girl's eyes were filled with fatigue. She sat there, out of tune with the surrounding ninjas. Yeshan even discovered that her hands were covered with calluses, which was the result of excessive training.

After just a glance, Ye Shan turned around and went downstairs without hesitation, fearing that he would not be able to suppress his inner emotions and lose his composure on the spot. The director of the mission department quickly caught up and asked, "Sir, is there anything wrong?"

Ye Shan shook his head and tried to calmly say: "Leave the matter upstairs to Deputy Hokage Fugaku. You accompany me to check the archives of the mission office."

"Yes!"

After the two walked away, Uchiha Fugaku sighed inaudibly, then walked into the meeting room and said with a smile: "First of all, on behalf of the Hokage, I would like to congratulate everyone on passing the Chunin Selection Exam. This means that you can stand on your own..."

On that day, the assignment was completed smoothly. Yamashiro Tatsuya's sister was assigned to the Minato team, and she will perform the mission as the fourth member.

Although most ninja teams consist of three people, if Yeshan said there should be a fourth person, then there should be a fourth person. Who can say no?
