The Steady King of Konoha

After a while, the originally bustling streets became empty. Yeshan looked at the sky and realized that it was still early, so he planned to wait for a while before buying daily necessities.

Uchiha Makoto patted Hayama's shoulder with a heavy expression, obviously knowing the pain that the adult young ninja in front of him was going through. Any ninja who has a master-student relationship will cherish it extremely and treat his master like his father.

He is as respectful and filial as a relative. However, Hayama's real and unknown master, Hatake Sakumo, was actually forced to commit suicide. To put it bluntly, you are not worthy of such pain, even if you don't have the three Magatama Sharingan in the Uchiha clan.

The surname is Uchiha.

"Hayama, keep an open mind on everything. Although Lord Hatake has passed away, his family and son are still there. It is your responsibility to shoulder this burden."

Ye Shan nodded, forced a smile and said, "I will."

Uchiha Shinichi patted Hayama's shoulder twice more and led the people away, leaving only Uchiha Fugaku and Hayama standing here.

"Fugaku, you should go back and rest, as long as I'm here."

Considering that Uchiha Fugaku had just been married, it was a time when things were as tight as glue, so it would be better not to disturb him as much as possible.

"Haha, it's okay, I'm not sleepy yet."

After saying that, Uchiha Fugaku walked into the Hatake clan's mansion without waiting for Hayama's response.

Ye Shan glanced at the uncared body lying on the ground expressionlessly, sneered and walked into the mansion.

The rain was still falling, but it was much lighter than in the latter half of the night, and the sound of dripping was also softer.

In a quiet and elegant bedroom, Hatake Sakumo was neatly dressed and leaning on the tatami, with a sharp dagger stuck in his heart. The sharp dagger was completely buried in his body, leaving only the handle outside his body. Because

The blade was not turned, and very little blood seeped out, making Hatake Sakumo look decent.

Kakashi, who had been taken away by the old servant before, was now standing next to his father's body, staring blankly at his father's usually generous back, not knowing what he was thinking.

Hayama sighed deeply, waking him up from his vague thoughts. Looking at the lifeless eyes of the still young Kakashi, he felt sad in his heart.

Losing a father in childhood, losing a mother in youth, losing a wife in middle age, and losing a son in old age are the most painful things in the world. Yeshan lost his father in this life when he was young. Now his mother is not in good health. I am afraid that she will not live long.

Much more.

"Kakashi, go change into black clothes."

After thinking about it for a while, Hayama finally just suppressed the words and asked Kakashi to change clothes.

Kakashi nodded, bowed respectfully to his father's body and walked out.

Hayama knelt outside the bedroom and next to the door, staring quietly at Hatake Sakumo's corpse. Just a few hours ago, this corpse was still alive and talking to him about the so-called nindo and the so-called fire.

Will, now completely turned into a piece of meat without temperature, making him feel like he was dreaming.

"Hatake Sakumo, you have something that you need to sacrifice your life to implement, so you choose death. In the eyes of most people, you are just a pedantic fool. In my opinion... too."

"Nothing is more important than my own life, not even the Leaf Village. I will continue to strengthen my beliefs and live by any means necessary. But now I can't live just for the sake of living. I have already shouldered something that needs me

Take some action to get it done.”

"Your death counts as one, Sarutobi Huakata's humiliation counts as one, Sarutobi Hiruzen's troubles count as one... there are three for now. When these things are done, I will seriously consider whether to retire. It is a rare heavy job

I don’t want to spend all my time in fighting and killing, I have to have some poetry and distant places.”

Hayama was talking to himself. Uchiha Fugaku, who was kneeling not far away from him, listened to everything word for word. He wanted to remind his friend that after doing these three things, he would be old, and there was another person.

Fart poetry and distance.

However, Uchiha Fugaku calculated the time carefully and realized that Hiruzen Sarutobi was almost fifty years old, and he couldn't help but feel relieved. Based on his age, Hiruzen Sarutobi would have to work for another ten years if he was full.

After abdicating the throne in favor of someone more worthy, there is no doubt that the Uchiha clan will be able to return to the top.

Let's not talk about their own thoughts for the moment. The young Kakashi came to his bedroom and was about to change into black clothes when he saw the old servant standing upright in the room, obviously waiting for him.

This old servant is about sixty years old and has silver hair, but it is not the silver hair unique to the Hatake clan, but the white hair in the background. Ever since Kakashi can remember, the old servant has taken good care of him, so he has a very good relationship

.

The old servant's name was unknown to Kakashi. He only knew that his father called him Uncle Fu, and when he came to live with him, he would naturally step down a generation and call him Grandpa Fu.

"Lord Patriarch."

After Hatake Sakumo's death, Kakashi became the new patriarch of the Hatake clan. However, Kakashi was obviously very uncomfortable with this title. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Forget about the title of clan leader. What can I do for you?

"

The old servant stubbornly shook his head and said, "Master Patriarch, this is the etiquette of the family and cannot be discarded."

Kakashi suddenly became helpless. People of the older generation are fine, but they are a bit old-fashioned. Not many people regard the etiquette passed down from the Warring States Period as a guideline. After all, times are changing.

"All right."

"Now that Sakumo-sama has gone, you are the leader of the Hatake clan. I am here to convey the last words you left before your death."

Kakashi's attitude became serious, and he straightened his body in a decent manner, waiting for the old servant's words.

"Sakumo-sama said, don't be too close to Baiyun Yeshan, and stay more with the Hokage lineage. It is best to become a disciple of Minato. This can ensure the longevity of the family and the continuation of the bloodline."

Kakashi was stunned after hearing what he said. Although he was still young, he was extremely smart, but he still didn't understand why his father didn't let him get close to Hayama.

Hayama is a ninja who can trust his father with everything before he dies! Compared with Hayama, the people from the Hokage line are the culprits who forced his father to death!

Kakashi couldn't figure it out and was very confused. Hatake Sakumo had already expected this. He kept the old servant in order to explain his interests.

"Although the Hokage family forced the old patriarch to death, they will also feel guilty. They will use the compensation for the old patriarch on you to ensure a stable space for growth."

"The old patriarch said it himself, although Baiyun Yeshan knows how to repay his kindness and is strong, he has no principles and no will of fire in his heart. Being a friend or ally is the best choice, but he cannot be a teacher, otherwise it will be easy.

go astray."

What Hayama didn't expect was that until his death, Hatake Sakumo believed that he was not a qualified Konoha ninja, but an exquisite egoist.

Doesn't having no will of fire mean that you are not worthy of becoming a qualified Konoha ninja?
