Konoha Steady King

Whether it was the disputes in the ninja world or the war of words, Hayama didn't want to pay attention to it or participate in it at this time. He had a more important thing to do.

There were a lot of people at the entrance of Konoha Ninja Village Hospital. Many people from other places came here to seek medical treatment, which resulted in a queue to enter the hospital.

Hayama wore a dark green vest on his upper body, black ninja pants on his lower body, and wore a Konoha forehead protector on his forehead. He stood at the back of the team with an expressionless face and lined up quietly.

The ninja team in charge of hospital security discovered him immediately, causing a small stir. A moment later, a ninja dressed as a jounin walked out of the duty room outside the hospital wall and came to Hayama, forming a seal with his hands. A gift.

"Hayama-sama, you can enter directly without waiting in line."

Ye Shan raised his eyes and glanced at the other party. While sizing up the other party, he also made a gesture and returned the gesture, saying, "Thank you very much."

After that, Hayama walked out of the queue, crossed the long queue, and walked towards the entrance, and the unknown ninja from the same village happened to be half a body behind him.

There was a commotion in the queue, but no one spoke up to object. After all, even a fool could tell that Ye Shan's identity was unusual.

After exchanging pleasantries with the ninja again at the entrance, Hayama walked into the hospital expressionlessly and walked straight up to the sixth floor.

The sixth floor of Konoha Hospital is composed of offices of various sizes, and Tsunade's office is located at the far end and is the largest and most luxurious one.

At this time, Tsunade was sitting on a chair in the office. It was rare that she was not in a daze or drinking. Instead, she took out a book and read it, which shocked Shizune who was also in the office.

There was a short and powerful knock on the door. Tsunade raised her eyebrows. After quickly adjusting her clothes, she said in a deep voice: "Please come in!"

"pat"

Hayama opened the door and his eyes naturally fell on Tsunade who was sitting facing the door. A sense of comfort flowed through his heart, but his face remained calm and he said softly: "Tsunade-sama..."

"Just call me Tsunade."

Hayama's voice paused and he said: "The Sannin-sama have a great reputation, so they still need to be given the proper title."

Tsunade put down the book in her hand, a trace of uneasiness flashed across her pretty face, and said: "Your current strength is not that of an ordinary jounin, so there is no need to call me sir. Besides, we are friends, right?"

Then, before Hayama could say anything else, Tsunade pointed to the chair in front of the desk and said, "Sit down."

Ye Shan nodded, took a few steps forward quickly, and sat firmly on the chair, but found that he didn't know what to say. After being silent for a long time, he took out a crumpled cigarette case from his pocket and asked, "Okay? ?"

Tsunade seemed to have expected it. She opened the drawer on the right side, took out a pack of unopened cigarettes, and said, "Smoke this one, yours is soaked in water."

Ye Shan stubbornly shook his head and declined the other party's kindness. He took out a yellowed cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it and took a long puff.

"cough cough"

The cut tobacco soaked in water was very choking and had a strange smell. Ye Shan, who had not smoked for a long time, couldn't hold it back and coughed a few times.

Tsunade looked complicated and said softly: "Why are you doing this?"

She recognized at a glance that the cigarette Hayama smoked was the half pack left by Yamashiro Chen that day. Unfortunately, the cigarette was still there but the person was gone.

Ye Shan still didn't speak, just puffing on his cigarette, as if he didn't want to miss a single thing. The only sound in Noda's office was his breathing.

Soon, Ye Shan smoked the hookah until only a bare butt was left. He stretched out his right hand, took off the cigarette butt, rubbed it with two fingers to extinguish the remaining sparks, and said in a harsh voice: "I'll do it. Pick up Shancheng Chen.”

The word "pick up" contains too much of Hayama's helplessness and reluctance. He did not want to use words such as "take" or "take", but said pick up, as if Yamashiro Chen was in the hospital and he came to pick him up from the hospital.

Tsunade stood up, put the book back on the shelf with one hand, looked into Hayama's eyes and said, "Follow me."

Only then did Hayama notice that Tsunade's dress today was completely different from the past. She was not wearing the clothes she wore in gambling houses today. Instead, she was wearing a pure white doctor's uniform, and the nails on her hands no longer had brightly colored nail polish. It's extremely comforting to watch.

Hayama's sizing eyes were caught by Tsunade, but he didn't say anything. He just walked out of the office a little more quickly, and his custom-made low-heeled ninja shoes made a pleasant sound when they hit the floor.

A separate room was empty, without any furniture, except for a bed in the center.Since it was winter, the weather was cold and the temperature in the room was very low, so low that Hayama's body was shaking a little.

There was a corpse lying on the bed. The head of the corpse was covered by a white sheet. Hayama couldn't see the face, but he was familiar with the ninja shoes exposed outside the sheet. They were bought by Hayama last year when he accompanied Yamashiro Tatsu. He didn't Will admit mistakes.

Ye Shan stood with his head raised and eyes closed for a long time, his chest rising and falling, obviously feeling very uneasy.

A hand fell on his shoulder and patted him gently. Hayama took a long breath and did not stop until his lungs expanded to the limit. Then he slowly exhaled the turbid air and calmed down.

After confirming that his friend's body was intact, Ye Shan did not leave. He just stood by the bed and waited quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, footsteps were heard in the corridor, but it was Uchiha Fugaku who came over with several ninjas in black mourning clothes.

The footsteps of several people became much lighter after entering the room, and the smell became stale.

Uchiha Fugaku obviously did not expect that there would be other people in the room. He was slightly startled when he saw Tsunade, then quickly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Tsunade-sama."

Tsunade nodded in return, patted Hayama's shoulder again, and walked out of the room.

Uchiha Fugaku's eyes were a little surprised. He was surprised by Tsunade's attitude towards Hayama, but it was difficult to say anything at this time.

"Yeshan, these people are the best convergence masters in the clan."

Ye Shan turned around, made a seal with his hands, bowed ninety degrees to several people, and said, "Please, everyone."

Several people hurriedly returned the courtesy. They were just low-status people in the Uchiha clan. They were used to being called around by others. How could they have ever been treated with such courtesy?

"Please rest assured, sir, we will do our best."

Ye Shan nodded, walked out of the room, came to the corridor, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Are you busy?"

Uchiha Fugaku knew that this sentence was meant for him, and walked out of the room quickly without saying anything, but just shook his head.

Ye Shan nodded, and the two of them left.

Along the way, many ninjas who knew the inside story looked at them with admiration, and many people came up to greet them. Uchiha Fugaku all responded politely, leaving no one with a single fault.

Konoha Village is either big or small. The two of them soon arrived at the door of Yamashiro Chen's house, and Uchiha Fugaku knocked on the door.

The door opened, revealing a youthful face, which was Yamashiro Tatsu's sister. When he saw Hayama standing with a strange ninja outside the door, he couldn't help but feel excited, and jumped out and said, "Where is my brother?"

Ye Shan's eyes were red, but he resisted the tears and said, "Go in and talk."

The little girl pouted unhappily, but let the two of them in. Then she realized that Uchiha Fugaku was wearing mourning clothes. Her heart skipped a beat, and she grabbed Hayama's arm and asked in a trembling voice: "My brother Woolen cloth!?"

Yamashiro Tatsu's mother walked out of the kitchen after hearing the sound. She immediately saw the dark clothes on Uchiha Fugaku. She calmed down, looked at Hayama and asked, "Where's Tatsu?"

Hayama opened his mouth, but couldn't say what he wanted to say. In the end, Uchiha Fugaku took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Chen, died in battle."

"Dang bang"

The shovel held by Yamashiro Chen's mother fell to the ground, followed by her body.

Sadness came like a tide, instantly flooding this originally warm home. The whimpering cries seemed to come from the heart, making Ye Shan's heart twitch violently several times.

Yamashiro Tatsu's sister's eyes widened, and she didn't want to believe that her brother, who usually seemed so irritated by both sides, was dead like that. She clutched Hayama's arm tightly, her nails piercing deeply into the flesh.

"Where's my brother!!!"

Emotions broke out in an instant, and the death of a close relative stimulated her young mind.

"You are talking, where is my brother!?"

"Aren't you a jounin? You can't even protect your comrades, what a crap jounin!?"

"Why is it not you who died but my brother? Why don't you die?"

Ye Shan's eyes were filled with tears, but he blinked hard to prevent them from flowing down.

"sorry..."

Uchiha Fugaku took two steps forward, helped Tatsu Yamashiro's mother up, and waited silently for them to digest this bolt from the blue.

"If my brother hadn't followed a loser like you, he would never have died! He is a genius of the Yamashiro family, one of the best!"

The little girl wiped her tears, but still kept saying some venting words. These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Ye Shan's heart, making his eyes go black.

"Enough! Say no more!"

Yamashiro Chen's mother scolded her daughter with red eyes. What happened has already happened. No matter how much she said, it would be useless, and it would offend Hayama.

This woman who supports a family has experienced too many farewells. She knows that ninjas are a group of superior people and she cannot afford to offend them.

Hayama felt sad. He was not afraid of being insulted by Yamashiro Chen's family, nor was he afraid of being punched or kicked. He was only afraid of being alienated from them.

Hayama broke free from the little girl's hand, slowly knelt down towards Yamashiro Chen's mother, and hit his forehead with the Konoha forehead protector on the floor.

"sorry..."

Uchiha Fugaku, who was supporting Yamashiro Tatsu's mother, hurriedly stepped aside, leaving Tatsu's mother to accept Hayama's kneeling.

Chen's mother wiped away her tears, took two steps forward to help Ye Shan up, and said bitterly: "I don't blame you, I blame Chen for his poor fortune..."

Ye Shan shook his head, took out an object wrapped in white cloth from his arms, and opened it in front of Chen's mother. It turned out to be a stack of banknotes of very large denominations.

Ye Shan rewrapped the banknotes, and instead of handing them to Chen's mother, he took a few steps and put them on the table.

Only then did Hayama realize that there was a large bowl of steaming sukiyaki on the table, and three pairs of bowls and chopsticks were placed around the sukiyaki.

The tears could no longer be held back. Ye Shan covered his face with his hands and slowly squatted on the ground, like a wounded beast, letting out deep sobs.

Sukiyaki, Sukiyaki, has a nice name, is auspicious, and tastes good.

This is Yamashiro Tatsu's favorite food, and Hayama has eaten it with him many times.

However, what really stung Hayama was the three pairs of bowls and chopsticks lying quietly on the table.
