Konoha's Five Attributes Ninja

The days are always shorter in winter, and with the lack of sunlight recently, it gets dark before 4 o'clock. As the year draws to a close, many ninjas stationed outside and businessmen return to the village, making the owners of the restaurant and entertainment industries happy.

Today is different from the past. A few years ago, the Konoha Village defeated the attack of the four countries in the Third Ninja World War and captured the foreign land of the New Rain Country. It also created a production legend, which made the villagers proud for a while. When they saw people from other countries on the street, they couldn't help but look proud. Some people who had deep hatred would even bite them to show their great country's quality. The fourth Hokage has always ruled the village with kindness and never cared about some gossip, so it is inevitable that the people will talk about the country and the village after dinner.

Once, someone was drunk and said something rude, accusing the Hokage of being a traitor and giving the poor people in the New Rain Country a chance to benefit from their wealth. It just so happened that the Uchiha clan ninjas were drinking and gathering nearby, and the incident became a big deal. The person who said the incident did not suffer any unexpected losses, and was simply scolded by several ninjas. But then again, who among the people who were born and raised in the village is not a hot-tempered person? Who doesn't have a ninja relative? In the end, the Uchiha clan ninjas were punished and were sent by the Hokage to clean the streets for three days. As a result, the discussion about this became more and more intense, as if it would be a shame not to say a few words about it.

Just as it was getting dark, the well-known thugs on the street gathered at a barbecue restaurant, eating the snow outside the restaurant that had not yet melted and the beef sizzling on the iron plate, and began their essential winter pastime.

In recent years, Konohagakure has planned many new areas. Some poor people on the outskirts of the village have become rich, and truly idle people have gradually emerged.

"Brothers, let's have a drink?"

“Drink one!”

After drinking a cup of foreign sake, several people picked up the perfectly roasted beef with chopsticks and put it into their mouths, and then pinched a thin slice of garlic on it. They would not trade this day for anything even a god could offer.

"If you ask me, Hokage-sama is good in everything, except that he is a little narrow-minded!"

The leading young man spoke out his opinion loudly, as if he was afraid that others would not hear him clearly: "Orochimaru is the direct disciple of the Third Hokage after all, and he was also a strong contender for the position of Hokage a few years ago. Now he has fallen to the point of being seen on the street. This shows the indifference and complexity among ninjas."

The owner of the barbecue restaurant was sitting at the cash register fiddling with an abacus. After hearing the words, he raised his head and glanced over there, shook his head and pretended not to hear. He continued to fiddle with his abacus with his head down, thinking in his heart how much money he could make that day.

The other young man next to him rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "You are talking about old times. My eldest cousin works at the mission office and told me at noon today that there are new changes!"

"Oh?" The leading young man looked at him with interest and asked slowly, "Tell us what has changed. We are all listening."

"Orochimaru is going to pack up and leave, and then the three ninjas of Konoha will exist in name only!"

"Sigh~"

Several people took a deep breath and said, "Hokage-sama is so confused! Orochimaru is still a meritorious ninja of the village, a precious talent, why would he force him away!"

"What's so strange about this?" The young man said with disdain on his face, chewing the beef in his mouth, "Since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. A big man like Orochimaru either became the supreme Hokage or he couldn't even be an ordinary ninja. If it were me, I would want to kill him with a knife to feel at ease. But Ye Shan was soft-hearted and waited until now to take action!"

After hearing this, several people agreed, "You are right. There is no give and take in this world. It's like this piece of meat. If I eat it, others can't eat it. But there is a lot of meat. You can eat three or five pieces, but you can't let others not even smell it!"

"That's why I say Ye Shan is petty, even worse than the previous one."

The person who spoke before was naturally Sarutobi Hiruzen. As the Hokage who has been in power for many years, he has a good reputation in the village, and his mass base is far beyond that of someone like Yeshan who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

A Hyuga ninja sitting at a table in the corner was concentrating on eating, just like an ordinary diner, but his ears had been pricked up long ago and he heard the conversation between the few people clearly.

Just this morning, the head of the branch family, Hyuga Hiashi, called a meeting of the clan members and issued a task to collect rumors. He didn't take it seriously at first, but after walking into a barbecue restaurant tonight, he found that the villagers' words were so fierce and explicit, and he couldn't help but get angry.

If some old party ninjas said bad things about the Hokage, it would be fine, as it was just a sign of people's incompetent rage. But those people were still digging for food in the fields two years ago, living a tight life. They even had to be frugal to buy new clothes for their families in winter, fearing that they would not be able to eat meat and vegetables during the New Year. It was the Hokage who overcame all objections at the Jonin meeting and set a policy of heavy compensation for the demolished households. Otherwise, how would these peasants have the money to eat in restaurants?

The Hyuga ninja wanted to rush over and give those people a big slap, so that they would know what gratitude was, but when he remembered the task assigned by the sect leader, he had to bury his head and eat the meat with big mouthfuls, venting his resentment on the meat.

The meal lasted for five hours, until the owner of the barbecue restaurant came to urge them with a smile, and the idle people stopped expressing their opinions and walked out of the warm room with their arms around each other. However, after the cold wind blew, the drunkenness caused by the slight amount of alcohol disappeared immediately. They looked at each other and felt that it was meaningless to go back like this, so they turned around and headed straight for the entertainment street.

The Hyuga ninja was so angry that he had no choice but to follow them, praying that they would finish their battle quickly. After all, it was freezing outside, and even if the ninja was not afraid of the heat or winter, he would not want to stay there any longer. Wouldn't it be nice to go home and watch TV by the fireplace?

It was not until late at night that several playboys released their excess energy. Those who were married and had families naturally had to go back, otherwise they would have a hard time explaining to their harems; those who were not married also had to go back, because tomorrow was the last day before the New Year, and they had to go back to buy some New Year's goods.

Fortunately, they all lived in the same place, which was the famous resettlement community in the village, which saved the Hyuga ninja a lot of trouble. He immediately found a remote place with few people, and took advantage of the lack of public morality of the few people urinating and defecating anywhere, and knocked them all down. Because he acted too quickly, one of them had not finished peeing, and the thing in his crotch was still wet, which made people feel disgusted.

"Bah! Going to a brothel with this much money is like using a toothpick to stir a big pot, what a shameless thing!"

The Hyuga ninja muttered something, picked up a few people very swiftly and was about to leave, but he suddenly saw a team of Anbu ninjas standing not far away looking at him. He cursed inwardly for being troublesome, then left the few people behind and walked away.

"Thank you for your hard work. You have to patrol in this freezing cold weather."

The Anbu ninja remained unmoved, his patrolling gaze lingered on the Hyuga ninja, especially looking at his eyes for a few more times, and asked in a very calm voice: "Friend is drunk?"

"They drank too much. I was worried that they would freeze to death, so I came here to take them home." The Hyuga ninja said with a smile, taking advantage of the situation.

"Hurry back. Several drunkards froze to death last night. It's really unlucky during the New Year. They really don't choose the right time to die."

The ANBU ninjas are known for their ruthlessness. If they don't fight, it's fine. But if they do, it's a life-and-death struggle. As for why they are so polite tonight, isn't it because of the Byakugan? You know, the Hyuga clan has a very good reputation in the village. After all, who doesn't want a teammate with a built-in radar and full of martial virtues on the battlefield? Only a fool would refuse to accumulate a little good karma without taking any responsibility.

The Hyuga ninja hesitated for a moment, took out a wooden sign from his arms, handed it to the leading Anbu, and said with a smile: "It's late tonight, brothers, take the sign to the clan to find me some other day, and we will have a good time."

The Anbu hesitated for a moment, looked around and saw that there were no outsiders, so he took the wooden sign without hesitation and said, "It's cold outside, take them back quickly, it will be troublesome if they get sick from the cold."

After that, several Anbu walked away in the snow without even turning their heads. They knew that the Hyuga ninja had bad intentions towards those people, but so what? Not to mention that the other party's eyes could not be faked, they were real white eyes, and his forehead was not wearing a forehead protector or any decorations, which was enough to show that the Hyuga ninja was of noble status and was far from being provoke by the Anbu. Even if he wanted to embarrass a few civilians, the Anbu ninjas had no right to intervene, because the Anbu only dealt with disputes between ninjas. If it involved civilians, please turn left and find the Uchiha Security Department ninjas, they are professional.

The Hyuga ninja heaved a sigh of relief, carried the unconscious guy and rushed back to the clan land in a remote place. Just as he carried him in, he hadn't even had time to catch his breath when a servant who had watched him grow up came up to him and said in a low voice, "Hizashi-sama is in the backyard, you go over there now."

Well, forget about even having a sip of tea. Others are having a good time inside, while you're just waiting outside the door. Not only can you not even take a rest when you get home, how could a Hyuga ninja, who has been pampered since childhood, have ever endured such humiliation?

The backyard was large, with dozens of people lying sideways, all reeking of alcohol, staining the fragrant plum blossoms for no reason. It was obvious that these people were the harvest of the Hyuga clan ninjas tonight, but it was unknown whether they could get any useful information.
