The Steady King of Konoha

The actions of the Fire Country daimyo to secretly weaken the Leaf Village were vaguely guessed by Hayama, but he did not take it to heart. The current post-war construction of Konoha Village requires the daimyo's support. It is impossible for Sarutobi Hiruzen to attack the daimyo at this critical moment.

If you have a murderous intention, you can at most give it a beating, and it won't hurt or itch.

Although Konoha Village has its own businesses, most of them are in the hands of civilians and ninja families. The annual tax revenue is pitiful. The money earned by ninjas from performing tasks alone is not enough for post-war pensions, let alone money.

To establish a complete medical system, the money required is calculated in units of hundreds of millions, and it is inseparable from the support of daimyo.

After the Country of Wind and the Country of Fire signed a treaty, Kirigakure Village, which lost four members of the Ninja Swordsman and the Three-Tails, also declared a truce. At this point, the large-scale war in the Ninja world has basically ended, although the remaining small-scale battles are still

It goes on, but the Second Ninja War is indeed over.

The Second Ninja World War, which lasted for decades, spanned Hayama's boyhood, directly from graduating from his Ninja School to just adulthood. He was also promoted from a small genin to a jounin, and successfully survived.

He is somewhat famous among the civilian ninja community. But Hayama has never felt that he gained more than he lost in the great ninja war. At least, he was the only one among the graduates in his class who survived until the end of the war.

The same is true for Konoha. The pain caused by the war to the village needs time to heal. The dead will become the object of remembrance, but the living must actively prepare for the next war that will break out at unknown time. It has to be said

It's a huge irony.

The war, from beginning to end, had brought Ye Shan only pain that he did not want to mention, and not a trace of pleasure. Now he just wanted to return to the village to rest for a while, adjust his mentality, and carefully plan his way out for the future.

But things always backfired. Hayama was transferred from the Minato team who returned to the village to rest, and stayed on guard at the border of the Land of Fire. The reason given by the headquarters was also very reasonable. The war had just ended, and strong Jonin were needed to garrison the border.

Prepare for emergencies.

A few days later, the Konoha Ninja Army returned to the village under the leadership of Sarutobi Hiruzen, leaving about three hundred ninjas to garrison, Hayama was one of them. As one of the remaining Jonin, Hayama had the right to make some demands

, so he asked the headquarters to transfer Shancheng Chen together. He thought there would be some twists and turns, but he didn't expect the headquarters agreed to his request on the spot...

So, two years later, Hayama formed a team with Yamashiro Tatsu again. It must be said that Hayama trusted Yamashiro Tatsu, but he felt a little guilty for interrupting his plan to return to the village.

After the ninja army withdrew, the camp became empty. Hayama unceremoniously occupied an unusually spacious tent, waiting for Yamashiro Tatsu's arrival.

The sky gradually darkened, and the unique boredom of summer disappeared as the sun set, replaced by the refreshing evening breeze and the chirping of insects. Yeshan leaned outside the tent, folded his hands on his chest, and looked at the sky quietly.

Stars in the sky, my mood rarely relaxed, thinking about the ordinary life in my previous life.

‘At this point, it’s time to get off work’

A smile appeared at the corner of Ye Shan's mouth. In his previous life, as a young man who was just waiting to die, his favorite thing was to call three or five friends after get off work, go to a busy barbecue stall, order some skewers, and mix them with some. Plate cucumbers, and the most important thing is to have a bucket of draft beer, and let out the depression in your heart happily. The cool-dressed girls passing by from time to time, international disputes, exciting moments of the game and even boasting about fishing skills are all the things that Hayama and The most common topics friends talk about.

However, in the world of Naruto, Hayama had to bid farewell to the leisurely life in his previous life and take up arms to fight. The ordinary thinking in his bones made him yearn for a comfortable life, and he was unwilling to participate in battles or get involved in the vortex of power games.

, just want to live a simple life.

Now that the war is over, Hayama plans to return to the village and use the mission money saved over the years to renovate the old house. All the Japanese style in the house will be replaced by Chinese style. The land in the yard cannot be wasted. After planting vegetables,

If you have a cat or a dog, you can relax after daily practice.

Thinking of this, Hayama couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his bald head, feeling much better. As for the high-risk profession of ninja, Hayama planned to retire when he was thirty years old, open a hot pot restaurant, and spend the rest of his life well.

It is not that Hayama is unaware of the plight of civilian ninjas, but he is unable to change it, and he does not want to make a change. The difficulty is very high. If he wants to change the current situation by himself, it is tantamount to wishful thinking. Maybe, when Minato truly becomes

Only after becoming Hokage will you truly make up your mind to reform all of this.

Hayama's dream is that simple, live in the ninja world, live in the village, live until the day he dies and goes to bed, that's all.

A gust of cool wind blew by, interrupting Hayama's thoughts, but it was Yamashiro Chen who arrived.

Although they haven't seen each other for two years, the relationship between the two has not faded, and has even become stronger. Hayama opened his hands, hugged Yamashiro Chen, and patted him hard on the back, then took his arm and carefully

looked at it.

"Chen, thank you for traveling all the way."

Yamashiro Tatsu had previously fought against Kirigakure on the eastern front of the Fire Country, while Hayama had fought against Sunagakure in the west. There was a Fire Country between them, which was quite a distance.

Shancheng Chen had an excited look on his face, and said emotionally: "The captain can still remember me, no matter how far away it is, it won't be hard."

Ye Shan smiled and said: "Come into the tent and talk. Have you eaten? I'll go to the canteen and get you one?"

Yamashiro Tatsu waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that Hayama didn't have to work too hard, and the two of them walked into the tent one after the other.

Although the tent was large, it didn't have many furnishings. There was only a low table that Hayama had moved from somewhere else. There were two teacups and a kettle on the table, which was extremely shabby.

After inviting Yamashiro Chen to sit down and rest, Hayama poured two glasses of water from the kettle and handed one to Yamashiro Chen.

"Chen, are you 25 years old this year?"

"It's August 26th." Yamashiro Chen said after taking a sip of water.

"Have you ever thought about getting married?" Ye Shan asked with concern.

He is 26 years old and unmarried. In the world of Naruto, he is considered an older leftover man. And being a ninja is a physically demanding profession. If you don't get married, it will be difficult to find a good girl.

Yamashiro Chen didn't want to hide it, and said seriously: "No more, I have a younger brother. Over the years, I have saved a lot of money, enough for him to have a stable wife for the rest of his life."

Ye Shan put down the tea cup he just picked up, frowned his bare brows, and said displeasedly: "He is him, how can you do it without getting married? You don't have to worry about money. I have saved a lot."

A warm current flowed through Shancheng Chen's heart, but he still refused: "Captain..."

"Call me Hayama!"

Yamashiro Chen opened his mouth, but after all he couldn't call out his name, he said helplessly: "Captain Hayama, I really don't want to get married."

"Why, what's the difficulty?" Ye Shan continued to ask.

But Yamashiro Chen did not answer his question, but said something that made Hayama stunned.

"How long does Captain Hayama think the ninja world can be at peace?"

Ye Shan pondered: "About fifteen years."

In fact, according to Hayama's estimation, the peace would only last less than ten years, but he still deliberately said more, hoping that Chen would get married first.

After all, the worst of three unfilial piety is not having an offspring, and housing prices in Naruto World are not expensive, so marriage is still affordable.

Yamashiro Chen smiled faintly and did not refute, but said: "Fifteen years, my children will be old enough to go to the battlefield."

There was silence in the tent. Ye Shan pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but couldn't.

Let alone fifteen years, as long as ten years, Yamashiro Tatsu's child can join the war as Konoha's cannon fodder. There is a high probability that he will die inexplicably in the hands of a certain ninja. If he is unlucky, he will not even have a corpse in the capital.

As Hayama who climbed out from the dead, he naturally knows how terrifying the death rate of the lower-level ninjas is. Survival depends not only on strength, but also on illusory luck.

"Captain, what happened to your hair and eyebrows?" Yamashiro Chen asked, changing the subject.

Hayama touched his bald head, smiled bitterly, briefly told the other party about his miserable experience, and then asked: "Chen, how are you doing with Yura Yamanaka?"

Yura Yamanaka has never been able to gain the true trust of Hayama in Hayama's team. The reason is very simple. She is a ninja of the Yamanaka clan, and the Yamanaka clan is a die-hard supporter of the Third Hokage. However, distrust is the result of distrust.

People still have certain feelings.

A dim look flashed in Yamashiro Chen's eyes, and he said bitterly: "Yura's entire calf was chopped off by the Mist Ninja on the battlefield. When I went to visit her a few days ago, she was not doing well."

Ye Shan squeezed the cup in his hand, forced a smile and said, "As long as you live, it's good."

The war brought only bad news to Hayama, and there was never any real good news. Counting silently in his mind, Hayama realized that there were not many people he was truly familiar with. Shancheng Chen in front of him, Xiao Xijiao who returned to the village

Sakae and Hatake Sakumo, plus Namikaze Minato and Yamanaka Yura, no more...

Every familiar person died on the battlefield, and Ye Shan seemed to be used to all this.
