The Steady King of Konoha

On this day, Ye Shan rarely practiced during the day, but turned on the TV leisurely and watched his favorite TV series recently.

Today, this TV series will have its finale. Usually, Ye Shan watches the reruns at night, but at this time, he was so tempted by the plot that he couldn't hold back, so he lay on the sofa and watched it in broad daylight.

To be honest, the quality of filming of TV series in the world of Naruto is far superior to that of previous generations, because the actors here have superb acting skills, no special effects are needed, everything is so real, and the plot is full of twists and turns, which is endlessly memorable.

Uchiha Keiji was quite shocked when his subordinates reported that Hayama watched TV with great interest in broad daylight today. You must know that this man's life is extremely self-disciplined, and he doesn't look like a twenty-year-old young man. He couldn't help but

He became more interested, asked the kitchen to bring some fruit, and walked into the cell to take a look.

Soon, several fruits were delivered from the kitchen, most of which were seasonal fruits such as tangerines and oranges, but there was actually a huge watermelon among them, which made Hayama's eyes brighten.

It was only March at this time, and the watermelons had not even started sowing, so it was naturally not the season to eat them. However, the technological level of Naruto World was not low, and the greenhouse planting technology had long been mastered, and some out-of-season fruits were also normal.

No one can refuse a piece of juicy watermelon while watching TV, and Hayama is no exception. He immediately stood up from the sofa, took out a kunai and was about to disembowel the watermelon, but unexpectedly

I saw a man standing outside the cell.

This man was wearing a pair of short high heels, black cropped trousers, and loose white clothes on his upper body. Although they were loose, they still couldn't cover up the majestic pair.

Hayama was stunned for a moment, holding a kunai in his right hand, but unconsciously touching the round watermelon with his left hand, not knowing what he wanted to touch.

"Why are you here?"

The visitor raised a slender eyebrow and said nothing. He opened the door of the cell and walked in. He went straight to the watermelon, took the kunai from Hayama's hand, and performed a Huaqiang split melon with no expression on his face.

"You're going to split my melon, right???"

Even if Ye Shan was beaten to death, he wouldn't dare to say it out loud, otherwise it might be more than just the melons that get chopped.

Uchiha Keiji, who was half lying on the sofa, was watching intently. When he heard the movement of Pi Gua, he subconsciously looked back and was shocked. He hurriedly stood up and made a gesture of greeting.

"Tsunade-sama."

Tsunade nodded with a smile and greeted enthusiastically: "Come and eat melon."

Uchiha Keiji was stunned for a moment, and for a moment he couldn't figure out who was the leader of this prison. He hesitated and said: "No, no, I have something to do over there, so I'll leave first."

After that, he gave Ye Shan a look that asked for blessings, slipped out of the cell, and closed the door sensibly.

Ye Shan shrank his neck. Thinking about it, he felt something was wrong. He had done nothing wrong, so why should he be afraid? He straightened his back and asked again: "Why are you here?"

Tsunade squinted her beautiful eyes and glanced at the TV and the boldly dressed heroine in the show. Anxiety surged into her heart. Instead of speaking, she raised a kunai and split a watermelon into pieces.

, juice flowed all over the table.

Hayama was heartbroken, picked up a piece of jagged watermelon, ignored Tsunade's dangerous gaze, and ate it.

"snort!"

Tsunade snorted coldly, picked up a piece of watermelon, sat on the sofa and ate it without thinking of herself as an outsider.

"Don't eat standing up, sit down."

Hayama picked up a piece of watermelon and sat on the other side of the sofa, as far away from Tsunade as possible.

"Watching TV every day in prison?" Tsunade asked, squinting at Hayama and taking a bite of watermelon.

"That's not true. I only watched the finale today."

"You have a lot of leisure time. Do you know how I spend my days these days?"

Ye Shan swallowed the watermelon in his mouth and asked inexplicably: "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?"

Tsunade was so angry that she picked up the watermelon rind in her hand and smashed it.

"Whatever Tower of Heroes you did, it caused me a lot of harm. I don't know how many people have come to see me these days, clamoring to report the deeds of the Thousand Hands Clan, saying that they want to be the first, and I can't even sleep

not good."

Ye Shan was very happy in his heart, but he did not dare to show it and said, "Isn't this a good thing?"

Tsunade's face was not very good, her chest kept rising and falling, and she burst out with a curse word: "What a fart! Those old immortals are living in my place. I have a home now and can't go back. What do you think I should do?"

"

"I don't know either!"

"have no idea?"

Tsunade raised her eyebrows, raised her palm, and the kunai soaked in watermelon juice stabbed an apple impartially, making Hayama tremble with fear.

"Try saying something again?"

Ye Shan thought for a while with a frown on his face, but still had no idea, so he said with a guilty conscience: "How about you argue?"

"What a fight! The Thousand Hands Clan is gone, why are you fighting for these false names?"

"Then we won't fight?"

"Don't I ask you to go and persuade those old immortals to go back?"

Ye Shan touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Whether you argue or not, the number one in the Tower of Heroes is the Thousand Hands Clan."

Tsunade wiped the juice from her hand and asked, "How do you say it?"

Hayama chuckled and said, "Hokage-sama will not just sit back and watch the Uchiha clan become number one."

Naturally, Sarutobi Hiruzen would not let the Uchiha clan become the number one clan in the Tower of Heroes, otherwise the stigma of bullying the master and destroying the ancestors would not escape.

You know, Sarutobi Hiruzen is the apprentice of the first and second generation Hokage. No matter how much he wants to make people forget this over the years, it is impossible. Now the Senju clan has retired, but Sarutobi

Hiruzen is still in power, and as long as he has any brains, he will fight for the Senju clan.

Tsunade's face softened and she said, "But I don't want my family to get involved anymore."

"With all due respect, this is not something you think about or don't want. Since you have no ability to influence the situation, you can only passively accept it."

Hayama unceremoniously pointed out Tsunade's biggest shortcoming at present. The so-called political game is like this. Either you join in and control everything, or you are played by others. There is no third possibility.

The Senju Clan back then failed and lost the possibility of joining the higher-ups, so now Tsunade can only let others play with her... Well, that's weird to say.

Tsunade sighed and said distressedly: "I also know that it's okay to fight for these false names. Even if it causes dissatisfaction among some people, I'm not afraid. I'm afraid that the Senju clan will become a pawn in the hands of others again."

There were some words that Tsunade couldn't say clearly, but Hayama knew very well that this person must be referring to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Although Konoha Village is called a village, its scale is huge, and the people and things involved are very complicated, which cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences.

According to Hayama's thinking, the Senju clan may really become a pawn used by Sarutobi Hiruzen to suppress the Uchiha clan. After all, the development of the Uchiha clan has indeed been somewhat out of control over the years.

An obedient and weak Uchiha is what Hiruzen Sarutobi wants, while an ambitious and outstanding Uchiha is the thorn in Hiruzen's heart.

When the situation seems to be out of control, it is the only way for those in power to introduce third-party forces to muddy the waters.

Sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight and reaping the profits are nothing more than the process of these two words.

After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen is the current Hokage, occupying the nominal first position. He really can't handle all the affairs in the village without his nod. Even though the Uchiha clan is in the limelight, it is just an organization that is independent of the decision-making level.

You are not qualified to dictate things in the village, this is the rule.

So the question is, if Hayama is now the Third Hokage, what will he do when faced with an out-of-control Uchiha?

Hayama asked himself, he would definitely support another force without hesitation and use this force to suppress the Uchiha, while he would sit in the office with a cup of tea and watch them dog-eat-dog.

Do you think it's unfair? But there is no way. As long as the Uchiha clan still wants to hang out in Konoha Village, they have to hold their noses and admit it. Who wants the Hokage not to be named Uchiha?

Hayama thought for a moment, then uttered two words, which made Tsunade laugh.

"Hinata"

It was like a ray of sunshine shining through the fog. The problem that had troubled Tsunade for several days was answered correctly, and she was in a great mood for a while.

"Looking at your young age, you look like an honest person, but I didn't expect that you are actually full of bad intentions. You are good at being bad, and I like it."

Hayama blushed for a rare moment. Seeing that Tsunade was in a good mood, he pointed at the scattered watermelons on the table and said, "You pay for my melons."

The smile on Tsunade's pretty face froze, her eyes widened, and she said angrily: "What did you say?"

"You pay me watermelon." Ye Shan refused.

"Hehehe"

Tsunade stood up and walked out of the cell without even looking at Hayama, locking the door before leaving.

Ye Shan was speechless. Someone said that when dealing with gangsters, you should use gangster tactics. The key point is that the gangsters are all men. What should we do with the female gangster? Is it possible to ride on her head and beat her?

It was impossible to fight, not even in this life. Even if Ye Shan lost his mind, he would not take action, otherwise he would still be the one to suffer.

Even though Tsunade is smiling at Hayama all day long, her hands-on ability is definitely among the top ten in the entire Konoha Village.

Talking was useless, and action was useless. Hayama really had no way to deal with Tsunade. He could only stare blankly as Tsunade left the cell, leaving only the unbroken watermelon lying on the table.

Well, the beautiful day is over.

Ye Shan turned off the TV, simply cleared the table, took out a whistle from his pocket, and blew it.

After a while, Uchiha Keiji opened the door and walked in, asking doubtfully: "What's wrong?"

"Send someone to ask Fugaku to come. There is something big going on."

Uchiha Keiji did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly walked out of the cell, called a tribesman to explain a few words, and was about to leave, but he did not want Hayama to leave him behind.

"Brother, if you have nothing to do, stay here and we will discuss it together later."

"Hahaha, I'm fine."

Uchiha Keiji was overjoyed and became more and more polite to Hayama, knowing that his position as deputy minister was almost certain, otherwise Hayama would not keep him in the room.

Hayama did this not only to gain the gratitude of Uchiha Keiji, but also had his own plans.

In fact, it is almost certain that the Hyuga clan will suppress the Uchiha clan, especially since Tsunade does not want the Senju clan to come back again. And Uchiha Keiji has been patrolling the border all year round, and has interacted with many ninjas from the Hyuga clan.

We have a good friendship and will definitely be of great use in the future.

With this layer of thinking, Ye Shan decided to give the other party a hand and kill two birds with one stone. Why not do it.

After about a meal, Uchiha Fugaku rushed to the cell in a dusty state. He took a big sip of tea to catch his breath before asking what happened.

Hayama didn't give in, and repeated Tsunade's words exactly.

Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Keiji looked at each other. They never expected that Sarutobi Hiruzen would actually have the idea of ​​​​the Senju clan. They lost their sense of proportion for a moment and cursed Sarutobi Hiruzen for being shameless and without a bottom line.

Fortunately, we are in a prison and outsiders can't hear these words, otherwise the charge of insulting the Hokage would be impossible to escape.

Ye Shan picked up the tea cup and quietly looked at his face reflected on the tea surface without saying a word.
