The Steady King of Konoha

Ever since that day when he remembered Hatake Sakumo in the Konoha Cemetery, Hayama devoted himself wholeheartedly to the mission. Whether it was an A-level mission or an S-level mission, there were few missions that Hayama would refuse.

His ultra-high efficiency and completion success rate have made Hayama a popular figure in the mission management office. Many ninjas who think they are good at it want to form a mission team with him to gain experience as a team.

But what made them helpless was that Hayama was always smiling and chatting with them, but he refused to let go on the team formation issue and insisted on only partnering with Yamashiro Tatsu to perform the mission.

Ye Shan has his own plan. For him, since there is no truly effective way to obtain power at this stage, he should first show his strength in the village.

Only by accumulating your own reputation can you gain the trust of others at critical moments and gain a certain amount of power.

Interestingly, Hayama is not only completing quests in the Leaf Village, but his old acquaintance Minato Namikaze is also completing quests at a staggering speed. This move by Namikaze Minato has further strengthened Hayama's determination to complete quests.

, indicating that this method is indeed effective, otherwise what task would Minato Namikaze have to carry out personally?

The days passed quietly while completing missions within the Hayama Mannin world, and a year passed quickly.

In the forty-three years of Konoha, Hayama has lost a guide like Hatake Sakumo, and also lost the guidance of his son Kakashi. If there were not three or five friends around him who could get together from time to time,

He really became a loner.

On the second day after the forty-fourth year of Konoha, Hayama took Yamashiro Tatsu to the Konoha Mission Management Office, fully armed early in the morning, thinking of continuing to take on another mission.

"Hey, Ye Shan, you are so diligent. You started taking on missions on the second day of the New Year?"

There was a hint of joy in the tone of the ninja who spoke. Hayama smiled slightly and said, "Isn't Master Yamanaka so diligent? Compared with you who are busy with everything, I am nothing."

The ninja of the Yamazaka clan sitting on the main seat is about forty years old. After Sarutobi Hokage was dismissed by the Third Hokage, he became the new director of the mission department and has been working there without any danger until now.

To be honest, the director of the mission department is a very important position of real power. If Sarutobi Huakata hadn't failed to live up to his expectations, there would be no way he would be the head of the Yamanaka clan. Although this position does not have much power, it only assigns missions and

The settlement of mission rewards is a good place to collect all kinds of intelligence. Of course, if a certain ninja has a grudge against you, you can use your power to get revenge or something. As long as you do it covertly, no one will say anything.

Hayama naturally understands the key points of this position and has been working hard to maintain a good relationship between the two.

After looking around and finding that there were no other outsiders, Hayama took out a scroll from his ninja tool bag and handed it to the director of the mission department who was sitting in the main seat. Of course, the several ninjas sitting on both sides had their own Yamashiro Chenfeng.

Up the scroll.

Director Yamanaka narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "You... are just too polite."

"You said we are so familiar, why would you give me a gift? If other people saw this, they would think I am a greedy villain."

A smile appeared on Hayama's face and he said: "Director Yamanaka, what are you talking about? You are the senior and I am the junior. What's the big deal about sending some souvenirs after we haven't seen you for a long time? Even if the Hokage-sama investigates, he can't find fault."

Director Yamanaka pointed at Ye Shan with a dumbfounded look. He looked around and saw that no one had reached out to pick up the scroll on the table, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, okay, take them all, just some local specialties. This is also Hayama's wish."

Several people put away the scrolls, and the mission hall became lively and started chatting.

Hayama took out a pack of Uchiha clan's special cigarettes. The magatama pattern on the package was very conspicuous. After skillfully unpacking it, Hayama walked around starting from Director Yamanaka, and finally put the cigarettes quietly in the office.

On the table.

When a cigarette was lit, especially a special cigarette made by the Uchiha clan that was not available on the market, the atmosphere suddenly became more lively. Even Director Yamanaka, who was usually stern and unsmiling, made some obscene remarks, causing everyone to cheer in unison.

.

Several people in the mission management office are all civilian ninjas who have been dealing with words for many years. They are all old smokers, and their addiction is much greater than that of Hayama.

So every time Ye Shan came, as long as there were no outsiders present, he would usually take out his cigarettes. And these people also changed from being indifferent at the beginning to becoming extremely enthusiastic, which made Ye Shan have to sigh: Smoking is harmful to the body.

It’s fake, but sometimes it’s just not possible without it.

"Akagi Shohei, leave that task to Hayama."

After finishing smoking a cigarette, Director Yamanaka ordered the ninja sitting next to him, then took out another cigarette, lit it and put the cigarette in his pocket.

"Yeshan, although this task is an S-level task, it is safe and has a short cycle. This is what the director left to you under pressure."

The bespectacled ninja named Akagi Shohei handed the mission scroll to Hayama and said with a smile.

Some things cannot be said by oneself, otherwise they will lose their original effect.

Ye Shan made a face of tears of gratitude and thanked Director Yamanaka repeatedly.

After a long time, Ye Shan walked out of the mission management office hall with a cheerful face, intending to find a secluded place to study the mission.

Although Hayama is very strong and the director just now was weaker than him, Hayama still chose to build a good relationship. It has nothing to do with strength, Hayama simply feels that multiple friends are much better than multiple enemies.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Hayama walked out of the door, he was blocked by a person and took a closer look. He turned out to be the famous unruly princess of Konoha Village - Senju Tsunade.

Hayama's heart tightened, remembering the scene where he played with each other in the jungle outside the village last year, and secretly cried out that it was unlucky. At the moment, he could only lower his head as hard as possible, and at the same time turned his body to the side to make way for Tsunade.

After a burst of fragrant wind, even though Ye Shan didn't look up, he saw two delicate white feet with nail polish walking past. He couldn't help but feel relieved, and he was about to take steps to get out of here.

"Hello!"

At this moment, a clear call made Ye Shan's heart tremble, but he did not stop, but instead walked faster.

However, Hayama's plan was doomed to fail. He hated so much why there was such a convenient ninjutsu as the teleportation technique.

"Did you call me?" Ye Shan squeezed out a smile and said without raising his head.

"Why don't you look up?"

"I'm ugly."

Ye Shan is not handsome, but he is not ugly either. He is ordinary and has a popular face.

"Keep your head up."

Ye Shan had no choice but to grit his teeth and slowly raise his head, praying that the other party would enter menopause and not remember what he looked like.

Tsunade touched her chin with her right hand, a look of thought in her eyes. For some reason, the ninja in front of her always gave her a familiar feeling, but she couldn't remember it.

"Have we met somewhere?"

Tsunade, who had been thinking for a long time but found nothing, could only ask this.

Hayama immediately felt relieved and said with a smile: "Tsunade-sama is joking, how can we have anything to do with each other?"

After all, I don't gamble...

Ye Shan only dared to say this in his heart: It is not good to cut someone off in person, and it would be a big deal if they broke up.

"Yeah..."

Just when Tsunade was about to give up on the somewhat suspicious ninja in front of her, Yamashiro Tatsu walked out of the hall and saw her captain and Tsunade Hime, one of the three ninjas, standing face to face. She couldn't help but be curious.

"Captain Hayama, what are you doing?"

"Yeshan? Baiyun Yeshan?"

It's okay not to say his name. After all, Ye Shan is very low-key in the village. Coupled with his popular appearance, many people have only heard of his name but don't know what he looks like. But once the name is mentioned, the other party will be 100% able to recognize it.

he...

Hayama couldn't help but shed a cold sweat on his forehead in the winter, and looked at Tsunade with a smile on his face, still holding on to the hope that Tsunade was addicted to gambling and didn't know about him.

Ideals are plump, but reality is skinny. It is true that Tsunade is addicted to gambling, but it is not to the point where she is addicted to gambling.

"Haha, you are currently the only ninja in the village who has mastered the secret technique of Hatake Sakumo's thunder escape?"

Tsunade stared at Hayama who was sweating profusely with an unkind look on her face, squeezing her hands loudly.

Ye Shan complained endlessly, but he was unwilling to stay where he was and get beaten. If I can't be beaten, why can't I hide?

Immediately, in Tsunade's angry eyes, familiar thunder and lightning jumped on Hayama's body, and then the two of them disappeared at the same time.

Yamashiro Chen stared at everything that happened in front of him in stunned silence, and held back a sentence for a long time.

"You are so brave...captain."
