The Steady King of Konoha

Hayama first found a bathroom and rinsed his mouth carefully, making sure that the smell of cigarette smoke dissipated. Then he slowly walked out of the Hokage's office and went straight to the training ground by the Nanga River.

For more than a year, Kakashi and Obito have been practicing at this training ground, and they have not missed a day, otherwise they will be punished by Hayama.

The Minga River training ground is the exclusive training ground for the Uchiha clan, but only a few people come here to practice. The reason is that it is close to the place where the Uchiha clan worships. Coming here to practice will make people feel weird, which makes it cheap.

Kakashi and the two of them.

In fact, even if there is no such training ground, Ye Shan will find a secluded place for the two of them to practice. After all, their current strength is really shocking.

Especially Kakashi, under the guidance of Hayama, has mastered the two attributes of earth and thunder chakra, which even some veteran chuunin find difficult to match.

There is no doubt that Kakashi's talent far exceeds that of Hayama, and even Hatake Sakumo can't match it. No matter what kind of ninjutsu Hayama teaches, Kakashi can master it within a week, and even occasionally experienced it recently.

He wanted to develop a new thunder escape ninjutsu, which made Hayama very happy.

According to Hayama's understanding, if Kakashi's ninjutsu is successfully developed, it will be at least A-level. From ancient times to the present, there are only a handful of people at Kakashi's age who can independently develop ninjutsu. He is simply a genius among geniuses.

As for Uchiha Obito, although his talent is not very good, he is better than him because of his resilience. He can't hide his unwillingness to admit defeat. He practices extremely hard, and his small muscles are trained in an orderly manner. With the help of several Hayama's meticulous

Choosing the fire escape ninjutsu taught by the professor, there are few opponents among his peers.

As long as Obito's foundation is well laid, his future achievements may not be any worse than Kakashi's. You must know that his surname is Uchiha. Once the blood power awakens, he will take off as if he is hooked. All he lacks is just...

It's just an eye-opening opportunity.

This is also the reason why Hayama dared to recommend them to take the Chunin Exam. Without 30% confidence and 70% certainty, Hayama would not do such unreliable things.

The Chuunin Exam is no joke. It is called an exam in name. In fact, there will be a lot of casualties in every exam. It is not surprising that some small ninja villages are wiped out.

After all, ninja is a profession full of violence and blood. You cannot become a truly strong person by mediocre training. Only by fighting with real swords and guns can you be called a qualified ninja.

In today's ninja world, every famous ninja has a lot of blood on his hands. Everyone stands on the top of others' bones. Hayama has never heard of anyone who has become a strong person behind closed doors.

What you learn does not mean you really master it. Ninjas can only truly mature through the hardships of life and death. This is an iron law that cannot be broken.

Not long after, Ye Shan arrived at the training ground by the Nanhe River, and as expected saw the two of them practicing.

Seeing that Hayama was coming, Kakashi and Obito stopped practicing. They were a little surprised and secretly muttered to themselves that they had just come yesterday, so why were they here again today?

For more than a year, Ye Shan has come to guide the two of them in their practice every other day, and there has never been any accident.

"Did something happen to teacher?" Kakashi asked.

Hayama nodded and signaled the two of them not to stand and sit down to talk: "The village will hold the Chuunin exam next month, and I just recommended you two in front of the Hokage."

Having said that, Ye Shan observed the expressions of the two of them carefully, and not surprisingly saw some eagerness and expectation.

Obito waved his fist and said excitedly: "Great, it's finally time for me to show off my skills."

Hayama smiled, and he guessed quite a bit about Obito's thoughts. He wanted to show off his skills, or to show off his holiness in front of others.

"The ugly words are ahead. If you don't get a ranking that satisfies me, don't blame me for giving you special treatment in the future."

"ah?!"

Kakashi and Obito looked bitter. Over the past year or so, Hayama had been extremely harsh, and they had been tortured a lot, to the point where they almost had psychological shadows.

"Is the first ten okay?" Obito asked cautiously.

"What do you think?" Ye Shan sneered.

There are few training environments in the entire ninja world that are as comfortable as theirs, not even those of ninjas from big families can compare to them. You must know that training costs money, and when these two are growing up, all Hayama can't even afford cigarettes.

I've saved everything to provide for them, but I still have to shamelessly ask Tsunade to borrow some emergency supplies from time to time.

Spending so much manpower and material resources to get you to get in the top ten? If you really want to get in the top ten, Yeshan will be embarrassed to go out and say hello to others.

"Kakashi must take first place. As for Obito, you can fight for two out of five. If you can't complete it, don't blame me as a master for being unkind."

Kakashi had a bitter look on his face. No matter how conceited he was, he couldn't guarantee that he would get the first place. After all, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the ninja world. Who doesn't have a few talented geniuses?

Obito was secretly happy in his heart. He was not dissatisfied at all because of Hayama's different treatment. Some were just gloating about Kakashi's misfortune and full of confidence.

Just kidding, after more than a year of hard training for Mr. Obitomoto, getting into the top five is just like picking something up in a bag? Otherwise, how can he show off in front of the girl he likes?

"That's all for today's morning practice. I'll just take a short break and have a meal. I'll do some actual combat drills in the afternoon."

Kakashi and Obito suppressed their emotions and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Who will you practice with?"

Ye Shan pointed to his nose and said: "With me."

"To be precise, it's my shadow clone. You must defeat my shadow clone within a month, otherwise you will still be punished."

"...."

Isn’t this bullying an honest person who is a minor? Isn’t this squeezing the combat power of minors?

You must know that Shadow Clone is not an ordinary clone technique. This ninjutsu developed by the Second Hokage is so fake that it looks like the real thing. Not only does it have the same touch as a normal human body, but it can also carry half of the strength of the caster. It is the ninja who sneaks in to destroy

, against the magic weapon that lures the enemy, even the perceptive ninja cannot find out which one is the main body and which one is the clone.

Now Hayama requires Kakashi and the two to defeat his shadow clone within a month, which is indeed a bit difficult. With Hayama's current strength, even if he does not know how to use secret techniques, the clone has the strength of an ordinary jounin, allowing two genin to defeat a jounin

, we can’t say it’s impossible, we can only say there’s little hope.

The three of them came to a barbecue restaurant one after another, served two portions of all the meat and vegetables as usual, and started a simple lunch. There was no way, half-grown people were poor, and neither Kakashi nor Kakashi had any choice now.

After killing his own father, Ye Shan was naturally destitute.

In fact, half of Hayama's income is spent on eating, because practicing Taijutsu consumes a lot of energy, and if it is not replenished in time, it will easily have a bad impact on the body, so Kakashi and Obito spend a lot of money on food every day.

Philippines.

After taking two bites, Hayama stopped using his chopsticks, lit the cigarette he had picked up from the owner of the barbecue restaurant, and watched the two of them eating with a smile.

Not long after, a large table of meat was cleared away by the two of them, and they ordered two large bowls of rice before they were full. Hayama was shocked when he saw this, and secretly wondered if he should borrow some money from Tsunade at night.

Tsunade is not short of money, or she is not interested in money. Her happiest time is in gambling houses of all sizes, and every night when she is accompanied by someone, she is a veritable super fat sheep.

Even though the owner of the barbecue restaurant earns a lot, he also pays a lot of rent to Tsunade every year. Not only him, but also the owners of the entire street have to pay rent to Tsunade. This street is not too long, so it is so-so.

Let's go through most of Konoha Village.

Therefore, Tsunade will never be short of money. As long as Konoha Village does not close down, she will never be short of money in this life.

"Are you full?"

"Um."

"Let's go then, let's spar after eating." Ye Shan said with a smile, got up and paid.

After paying the money, the three of Hayama left the barbecue restaurant under the polite eyes of the boss and walked slowly to the training ground by the Nanhe River.

Just when Hayama was about to announce the start of the actual combat drill, Obito jumped out and said: "If the opponent is Master, we need time to formulate tactics, otherwise we will not win anyway."

Ye Shan thought for a moment and said, "Five minutes."

Obito pulled Kakashi to the woods not far away, looking like he didn't want Hayama to hear the battle plan, which made Hayama laugh secretly.

If Obito's stubborn mind could only come up with practical battle plans, Kakashi would most likely be able to come up with a few good ideas.

But Ye Shan doesn't care. No matter how good the battle plan is in the face of absolute strength, it will be in vain. He now has this strength and arrogance.

Just five minutes later, Kakashi and Obito walked out of the woods side by side, and took a fighting stance under Hayama's half-smiling eyes.

"Are you sure you will use your earth clone to participate in the battle?"

Hayama's words made Kakashi and Kakashi awkward. He lifted the Earth Clone Technique and the other Kakashi revealed half of his head from underneath. He looked at Obito with a helpless face and was very depressed.

He knew that this guy Obito had some bad ideas, and the chance of using his earth clone to deceive Hayama was smaller than the pie in the sky.

A murderous look appeared on Ye Shan's face, and he said seriously: "Abandon those boring clone tricks and devote yourself to the battle with all your strength. Only then will you have a chance of winning, you know?"

As he spoke, he formed seals with his hands, chakra surged in his body, and a shadow clone appeared in front of Kakashi and Obito in the smoke.

"Then let me see the results of your cultivation."

Ye Shan retracted his hands in the seal, walked to a wooden stake not far away and sat down cross-legged, took out his water bottle and drank.

The atmosphere in the field suddenly became solemn, and traces of fighting spirit mixed with murderous intent filled the air.
