Konoha Steady King
Chapter 26 The Village in the Dark
On the night when the Senju clan announced their retirement, an eagle flew into the border camp from the direction of Konoha Village. Not long after, Hayama, who was resting, heard the whistle of the emergency assembly echoing shrilly in the camp, even though he did not know what was happening. Something happened, but after years of experience on the battlefield, Ye Shan quickly put on his ninja bag and arrived at the meeting point.
The quiet camp was awakened by a whistle. A large number of ninjas without tasks gathered in an orderly manner. Although there were many people, the noise was very small. There were only dense footsteps, and no one dared to whisper to each other.
After a while of tea, the piercing whistles stopped. Two ninjas wearing Konoha-style vests walked to the high platform and looked down at the neatly arranged people below the stage.
Ye Shan, who was standing in the crowd, narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the two people on the high platform. He knew both of them!The thin ninja on the left, with a face that is calm and self-defeating, turned out to be the former Director of the Rain Country Mission Division and Hayama's enemy - Sarutobi Hakata!The man on the right is tall and tall, with a square face. He is clearly one of the initiators of every gathering, and his status in the civilian organization is still higher than that of the dead Todaka Ogata!Hayama also knows his name, Konishi Kakuei. He is a long-famous civilian-born jounin in the village and is extremely good at thunder escape.
Hayama lowered his head, fearing that the two people above him would recognize him, especially Sarutobi Huakata, whom he could not afford to offend for the time being.
Konishi Kakuei coughed, turned to Sarutobi Huakata and said, "Director Sarutobi, can you say a few words?"
Sarutobi Kakata didn't refuse, he took a step forward and was about to start speaking.A trace of displeasure flashed in Xiaoxi Kakuei's eyes, but he didn't say anything and quietly watched the other party's performance.
People are in high spirits when happy events happen. Sarutobi Kakata was in a very happy mood now. After pretending to wave his hands, he said: "We have gathered everyone together tonight. There is only one thing."
After saying this, he paused, and his eyes roamed back and forth among the crowd. Seeing that everyone was holding their breath and waiting for him to speak, he nodded with satisfaction and continued: "On behalf of Hokage-sama, I give the order: Return to Fangmu." Ye, set off immediately!"
There was a commotion among the ninjas below. If the occasion was not too solemn, they would even doubt the authenticity of this order.
You know, just a few days ago, Sunagakure crossed the border and entered the Land of Fire to wreak havoc. Now if they are transferred back, what should they do if Sunagakure invades again?
Hayama quickly thought about the meaning behind this order, but even if he were beaten to death, he would not believe it. The powerful Senju clan in the ninja world was deceived and retreated directly!According to Hayama's previous speculation, the Senju clan would be severely weakened and dormant. As for retirement, he couldn't even think about it.
Without giving Hayama too much time to think, with the sound of departure, the ninjas set off on their way back to the village.
The next night, the Konoha ninja army, who had not rested much along the way, finally arrived outside Konoha Village. There was no hot meal waiting for them, and they were assigned tasks without even taking a few breaths.
The angry ninjas dispersed with resentment. Whether it was a coincidence or not, Hayama was incorporated into the Konishi Kakuei team to perform patrol missions at Hokage Rock.
Hokage Rock is the place where the heads of past Hokages are carved, and it is also a refuge built by Konoha. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is a solemn and solemn place in the eyes of all Konoha villagers.
Now, this sacred and inviolable place has been trampled under the feet of Hayama. He stood on the stone statue of the Third Hokage, his whole body shrouded in darkness, and silently looked at the village.
"What a place with a broad view."
The sound in his ears startled Ye Shan, and without thinking, he flicked his wrist and stabbed towards the back.
'Snapped'
A big hand held his wrist, and with a flash of lightning, Ye Shan's palm became numb, but he did not continue to attack because he saw a face that was not unfamiliar.
Konishi Kakuei let go of his hand, took a step forward, and stood side by side with Hayama, overlooking the Leaf Village.
After a long time, he whispered what happened in the village yesterday. His eyes were fixed on Ye Shan's side face, trying to see any emotion from this stern face. Unfortunately, he couldn't. As wished.
Hayama listened to the other party's words with expressionless hands on his chest, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He steadily did not express an opinion, and just looked at the Hokage Building blankly.
From Hayama's perspective, the Hokage Building, which symbolizes the highest power of Konoha Village, has nothing outstanding, and is far less prosperous and bright than several shopping malls.But the people who work in the Hokage Building give it a mysterious atmosphere, half of it is brightly lit and half of it is dark, which seems to symbolize the reality in the village.
Seeing that Hayama didn't say anything hastily, Konishi Kakuei's eyes flashed with admiration. There are not many young people who can keep their composure.But he deliberately assigned Ye Shan to a small team to perform the task, so as not to stand together and pretend to be serious. Remembering the adult's instructions, he revealed his purpose.
"Baiyun Yeshan, are you willing to join the new team?"
Ye Shan was stunned for a moment, guessing something in his mind. He pursed his lips and asked, "Who is the captain?"
"I."
"Why did you find me?" Ye Shan continued to ask.
Konishi Kakuei smiled slightly, said nothing, took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Hayama.
Ye Shan frowned. After hesitating for a long time, he took the letter and read it in front of the other party.After reading it quickly, I felt extremely complicated and felt like I was in some kind of trouble.
This letter is clearly a recommendation letter, recommending Hayama to join Konishi Kakuei's team, and the person signing it is Konoha White Fang - Hatake Sakumo!
WDNMD......
Ye Shan couldn't laugh or cry at the moment. He didn't know what to say. He was completely embarrassed.
There is no love without reason in the world. As the top combat force of Konoha Village, Hatake Sakumo's daily schedule is full and he doesn't even have enough time to sleep. How can he have the energy to pay attention to him, a little chuunin?Someone must have acted as an introducer, and this person must be Uchiha Fugaku!
Come on, if nothing else, the Uchiha family does things openly and grandly.Every spit and nail comes with additional benefits.Don't you, Hayama, lack ninjutsu?Just giving you a ninjutsu scroll shows that our Uchiha clan is not heroic enough. I will give you a ninjutsu master and a bicycle. Let’s take off on the spot!
Hayama just wants to shout, Uchiha--YYDS!
Putting the letter into his ninja bag, Hayama turned his head, smiled fawningly at Konishi Kakuei beside him, and said, "Teacher, please give me your advice in the future!"
Xiao Xijiaorong nodded reservedly, extremely satisfied with this apprentice recommended by others.It is no exaggeration to say that he has watched Hayama grow up since he was a child. Among the ninjas who participated in the secret gathering back then, he and Hayama are the only ones still alive.No matter how the other party survived, it was all a matter of skill, and both luck and strength were indispensable.
After Konishi Kakuei left the Hokage Iwakami, silence returned again. The steady Hayama couldn't restrain the joy in his heart. He did a backflip on the spot to celebrate, and sighed that falling into the arms of Uchiha was indeed the right decision.
................
An underground space in the northwest corner of Konoha is the base established not long ago.At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen appeared here. He was sitting on a chair, staring at the burning candle in front of him, wondering what he was thinking.
'crash'
The wooden door was opened from the outside. Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his eyes slightly and saw Shimura Danzo walking in expressionlessly.
"Here we come, Danzo." Although this was the root's territory, Hiruzen Sarutobi took the lead in greeting his master, taking the lead.
Danzō Shimura ignored him and just pulled out the chair in front of him and sat down.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who knew that he was having a bad temper, chuckled and didn't care. He took out his pipe and took a nice puff. He watched the smoke ring gradually dissipate in front of his eyes and continued talking.
"Has the Senju Clan's inheritance been inventoried?"
When discussing business matters, the two were no longer close partners, but had a superior-subordinate relationship. This made the strong-willed Danzo Shimura feel a little uncomfortable, but he did not show it.
"There are 136 mineral deposits and 41 hectares of fiefdom. They have all been counted. The other ninjutsu are in the book of seals and have been sent to your office."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, indicating that he understood, and suddenly sighed again, hypocritically saying: "We have failed the teacher's expectations, a good village has been messed up, and it is difficult to explain in the pure land world. "
Shimura Danzo sneered. He wanted to be a bitch but also wanted to build an arch. How could such a good thing happen? He mercilessly exposed the arch that Sarutobi Hiruzen had just erected: "That's enough Hiruzen, what else can I say now?" Use it and do it all. The main goal below is to defeat the Uchiha and destroy those who have it!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen paused while smoking, feeling a little annoyed. He had gotten used to saying this these days, and accidentally said it again, which made him feel a little embarrassed...
"Uchiha will follow the previous plan and go to the border to fight Kirigakure Village. As for Sunagakure, leave it to Hatake Sakumo. He has the ability to deal with this mess."
"Hmph, Hatake Sakumo has always been close to Uchiha. Are you so relieved?"
"The Hatake family was a vassal family of the Uchiha clan during the Warring States Period. The relationship was so many years ago that there is no reason to be wary. Hatake Sakumo is a smart man and he knows what to do." Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly.
Shimura Danzo squinted his eyes and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, whose face was covered by the smoke across from him, feeling a little strange.Ever since Sarutobi Hiruzen became Hokage, the cheerful and sunny ninja back then gradually became fond of darkness, and gradually changed to do one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes, which made him a little uncomfortable.
But in the face of power, that's how it is. The winner is the king or the loser. It's a simple truth. You have to adapt even if you don't adapt.
That night, there was no chaos in the village in the darkness. The Thousand Hands clan seemed to have truly retired and disappeared into the long river of history.
The quiet camp was awakened by a whistle. A large number of ninjas without tasks gathered in an orderly manner. Although there were many people, the noise was very small. There were only dense footsteps, and no one dared to whisper to each other.
