The Steady King of Konoha

Ye Shan had a dream, a very strange dream.

He dreamed that he had turned into a bird with three claws, with fiery red feathers that sparkled in the sunlight; and with wide wings that were spread out to a full two meters long, it could fly even in a violent storm.

It’s effortless; it has a beautiful crest that can easily attract the opposite sex; it has a pair of eyes that can rotate 360°, exuding a faint cold light.

However, it is very strange. This bird is extremely weird. It can only fly in the air all the time. Once it lands on the ground, its whole body will be inexplicably ignited with flames. If it does not fly again in time, it will soon turn into a lump.

Coke.

The bird kept flying in the air, cutting through the sky like a flame, and as gorgeous as a shooting star. But Yeshan gradually became anxious, and he noticed that the originally abundant energy in his body disappeared during the flight, and his light wings became weaker and weaker.

His hair was so heavy that he knew that if he didn't stop, he would die of exhaustion.

But if he stopped, he would have to endure the burning pain of the flames. The pain was not only physical, but also seemed to hit his soul, making him unbearable.

With no choice but to face death and pain, Ye Shan could only choose to take a short rest and wait for a little recovery of strength before flying again.

This dream was truly terrifying. Ye Shan could clearly feel the fragrance in the air, the raindrops during thunderstorms, the scorching heat of the sun, and the wind resistance when flying. What was even more helpless was that he even felt hungry.

He just transformed into a bird and flew day after day, year after year, not knowing where the flight ended or what the meaning of life was.

The originally sharp eyes were filled with fatigue, the originally gorgeous feathers were covered with burns, and the originally plump wings became tattered, but they still kept flying.

On this day, Ye Shan wanted to stop to rest and look for food as usual, but suddenly his eyes lit up, and a lush bamboo forest appeared not far ahead.

Ye Shan was overjoyed. The existence of a bamboo forest meant that there were fresh and delicious bamboo shoots to eat. Even though he was a bird now, he still couldn't get used to eating nutritious but disgusting insects.

At that moment, he no longer hesitated, waved his wings vigorously, and swooped down towards the bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest was very lush, swaying slowly in the wind, making a "rustling" sound. Ye Shan glanced at it and quickly locked on a green and tall bamboo and stopped on it.

"call"

The flames came as expected when they stopped in Ye Shan, but he didn't care at all. Over the years, he had already figured out the intensity and patterns of the flames. The slight pain was not worth mentioning, and filling his stomach was more important at the moment.

"Eh..."

At this time, a small bamboo shoot caught Ye Shan's attention, and he endured the pain of burning fire and looked at it.

This bamboo shoot was not big, only about the size of an adult's fist. It was dark and unremarkable. But it actually grew on a boulder. What was even more horrifying was that there was a slight crack in the middle of the boulder.

Ye Shan's eyes gradually became moist. What kind of bamboo shoot is this? It grew from the ground. It thought it would soon emerge from the soft earth, but unexpectedly a huge boulder pressed on it, blocking its breathing.

The road where fresh air receives the baptism of sunshine. However, it refused to admit defeat and continued to take root underground to accumulate strength. It penetrated the boulder bit by bit and stood proudly on the boulder that once blocked it, showing its majestic vitality.

.

Ye Shan's body trembled, not because of the burning of the flames, which was nothing, but because of the shock of the small bamboo shoot in front of him.

Isn't this bamboo shoot the same person he once was? In the ninja world, he has been trying hard to live, but there are always people who want him to die, but he just won't die. Not only does he not want to die, he also wants to accumulate strength and fight fiercely.

Penetrating the bodies of those who block him, standing on their bodies to declare his tenacity and attitude.

Yes, he should have lived gloriously, should have enjoyed the fresh air carefree, should have accepted the baptism of wind and rain generously, should have proudly shuttled through the air, instead of looking for something in embarrassment like now.

Eat, rest in fear, soar in exhaustion!

Someone once said in a previous life: Give me freedom or die. Freedom is a necessity for the survival of an intelligent creature. It can give the creature the greatest satisfaction in its spiritual life. In order to enjoy freedom, a creature will not hesitate to die!

Ye Shan's eyes became sharp again. He spread his broad wings, raised his head high, opened his incomplete and broken mouth, and let out a high-pitched and breathtaking cry.

He jumped down from the bamboo, carefully came to the seemingly indestructible boulder, stared at the small bamboo shoot for a long time, and let the flames in his body burn brightly.

First the feathers, then the skin, then the muscles and internal organs, and finally the skeleton. The ruthless flames burned away everything about Ye Shan, burning his body to nothing, but it could not burn out the light in his eyes.

A gust of breeze blew, gently holding up the last thing Ye Shan left in this world - the ashes, and sent it to the side of the bamboo shoot, and then continued to blow into the distance.

The proud bird took the initiative to choose death for freedom, the tenacious bamboo shoot penetrated the indestructible boulder for freedom, the dying Hayama gained life in his dream, and the living Yamashiro Chen died with a smile for the light in his heart.

Creatures in the world are reborn and old; they are poor and rich; they are healthy and sick, but no matter what, as long as they live, there must be something in their hearts that supports them. This thing is diverse, either faith or belief.

Is it money, or family ties, or love, or friendship, or dreams, even if it is a bunch of clear springs in the mountains, even if it is an insignificant wind, even if it is the sunshine that everyone is accustomed to, even if it is a flower on the roadside,

They can all become a source of support for living things to survive.

From today on, there are two more things that support Hayama's survival - freedom and trust.

The sad emotion did not appear in Ye Shan's body at this time. Perhaps this emotion will burst out when eating after the practice, in the dead of night, when encountering delicious food that cannot be shared, or in a bright sunny day.

in the days when it would break out, but not now.

Some of it is just pain, heart-breaking pain. Ye Shan doesn't understand why people have struggles and factions, and why some people would do something even though they know they will die.

All of this was something he had never experienced in his previous life, and he needed to experience it personally in this life, and he had to swallow the ups and downs alone.

Looking at Shancheng Chen's face, Baiyun Yeshan stretched out his hand to help him adjust his clothes, gently brushed the dust off his face, and then spoke his heart.

"Fuck you Yamashiro Chen, you are such an idiot."
