The Steady King of Konoha

The sky gradually turned dark at some point, making the already poorly sighted forest look even more gloomy and terrifying, making people feel lonely and insecure involuntarily.

The patter of footsteps sounded from the darkness. The two ninjas stepped through a large swaying huge tree, and they did not stop until they encountered a bloody corpse.

This corpse was badly mutilated by the enemy. Not only were all its limbs destroyed, but there were also several deep wounds visible on the body. The internal organs were crookedly spilled all over the floor. It was obvious that it had suffered tremendous abuse during its lifetime.

Hayama suppressed the anger rising in his heart and took out a brand new body bag from his ninja tool bag. He gently collected the scattered human tissues while Jiraiya just stood there and watched intently.

.

After all the human tissues were put into the body bag, Hayama took out another scroll, made several seals to seal it, and finally received it solemnly in his arms.

Hayama is not only a broken corpse, but also the father of several children, the backbone of a family, and most importantly, the dignity of a ninja village.

Even though Hayama had been mentally prepared before the start of the second exam, when he actually saw the body of the Jonin examiner in charge of the exam, he couldn't help but feel extremely angry. This was someone provoking him, Baiyun Hayama.

Someone is provoking Konoha Ninja Village, and it seems that there are more than one person.

Judging from the traces of the battle, this was a long-planned ambush. Although the aftermath of the battle caused many century-old trees to collapse, Hayama's eyesight was still able to see through the nature of the battle at a glance.

When the unknown Jounin of Konoha named Morino had nowhere to rely on in the air, several huge wind blades roared towards him but were dodged, followed by wave after wave of ninjutsu bombardment, causing him to finally

Still was hit and drank in anger on the spot.

A jounin died so mysteriously, and his death was so miserable, it was like a slap on Hayama's face, making stars shine in his eyes.

His fists were squeezed so hard that his extreme anger reappeared on Ye Shan's body after a few years.

In silence, Jiraiya leaned down, slapped his hands on the ground to summon a toad, and there was anger brewing in his words: "Look carefully and tell me if you find anything."

The toad glanced at Hayama and was a little afraid of the gloomy aura on his body. After hearing Jiraiya's words, he clasped his hands together and closed his eyes to search carefully. After a while, he opened his eyes and said helplessly: "There were probably five people there."

breath, and nothing else."

Jiraiya nodded to indicate that he understood, and immediately released the psychic spell and let the toad return to Mt. Miaomu. He felt quite helpless. The field of perception has always been his shortcoming, although he has cultivated several animals with sensory talents in the past few years.

psychic beast, but the effect is not satisfactory.

Hayama didn't say anything, but took out a ninja eagle from the cage hanging on his shoulder, pinned a piece of paper to its feet and let it go. The ninja eagle roared sharply and flew towards Konoha.

.

"First notify the Jonin responsible for patrols to assemble. From now on, individual actions are prohibited and the mission must be continued as a team."

Hayama's words aroused Jiraiya's agreement, and he also took out a Ninja Eagle and released it. The two of them did not stay here, but quickly came to a high tower in the middle of the forest, quietly

Waiting for the arrival of the other jounin.

Not long after, several Jonin who received the gathering signal hurried to the tower, only to find that Hayama, who was usually smiling, was sitting on a chair with a gloomy face. Knowing that something big had happened, they all held their breath and concentrated.

He stood below and dared not speak.

Although everyone is a jounin in the village, there is a huge gap in strength. Moreover, Hayama is one of the examiners this time. Naturally, they have to be careful about flattery to avoid being ridiculed and losing face.

We waited until the moon was in the middle of the sky, but there was still one person who failed to come to report. Those jounin who stood upright naturally knew what this meant, and couldn't help but look ugly.

Finally, in the endless silence, someone couldn't hold it any longer. He stepped forward and saluted and said, "Please let Mr. Hayama make it clear whether you want to send people to search the B-shaped and T-shaped areas."

The areas numbered B and T are exactly the areas that the two jounin are responsible for patrolling. It must have been an accident if they haven't arrived after so long, so some ninjas suggested sending ninjas to search.

Ye Shan shook his head sullenly, took out two scrolls from his arms and said coldly: "No need, their remains have been put away by me."

Originally, Hayama arranged for his jounin to form a team of two to carry out inspection missions, but because the ANBU directly under the Hokage had an urgent mission and could not participate, he had no choice but to change it to a single team for inspection. Unexpectedly, only two people were able to do so.

An accident occurred within a few days.

This is not the most irritating thing. The jounin in the village died in the forest. You can blame them for their lack of academic skills or their carelessness. But those good young people from all over the world who came to take the exam are also so unclear.

If word spreads about his death, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the reputation and authority of the village.

Ye Shan never expected that someone would really dare to do something under his nose. Fortunately, he discovered it in time and there was still room for redemption.

After glancing around at the people standing below, Hayama interrupted their whispering with a cold snort, and said calmly: "I have already reported this matter to the Hokage-sama, and I believe the village's support will arrive soon."

"I'll give you ten minutes. In ten minutes I'm going to see a brand new ninja team."

Everyone looked at each other, and then started walking around without hesitation. Everyone was a jounin in the village. They didn't know each other's abilities thoroughly, but they had a general understanding. For a while, the tower became noisy.

Ye Shan watched all this coldly, until everyone once again stood up according to the team's three-by-three system, then he turned his eyes and said: "The extra person should follow me."

The remaining ninja was none other than a ninja from the Aburame clan. After hearing this, he just nodded and said nothing, looking taciturn and unsociable.

After a while, several unfamiliar smells came from outside the tower. Hayama and Jiraiya were still sitting in their seats, but two ninjas walked over and opened the door, welcoming the people in.

"Hinata is here to report according to Hokage-sama's order."

There were not many people coming, just a small team of ninjas, but they all had pure white pupils, and the aura on their bodies was unusually thick. They were clearly the elite jounin of the Hyuga clan.

"Do you know the details of the mission?" Ye Shan asked.

Hinata shook his head and said: "Hokage-sama just ordered me to come as quickly as possible, but did not explain what the mission was."

Hayama nodded thoughtfully, thought for a while and said, "Jiraiya-sama, do you have any ideas?"

Everyone's eyes focused on Jiraiya, obviously wanting to hear what he, the examiner, thought.

Jiraiya calmly said in a deep voice: "You are the main person in charge of this exam. It's not good for me to do it for you. Just do whatever you want."

Ye Shan nodded and slowly stood up. A majestic momentum swept out, causing the expressions of the ninjas present to change.

"I, Baiyun Yeshan, as the examiner of this exam, order you: do your best to find the intruders, kill those who are capable on the spot, and send a signal for help if you are not. Do you understand?"

Hayama was officially giving an order as a Konoha jounin, and it was an order that went beyond the exam tasks. Naturally, he had to ask Jiraiya for his opinion first, otherwise he would inevitably be criticized.

"The enemy is very strong, and there will even be elite Jonin. Regardless of whether you can kill him or not, you must send a warning signal as soon as possible!"

"The Hyuga ninjas are organized into three ninja teams. Lord Jiraiya is in charge of the tower, and the Aburonna ninja is following me. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

"Disperse!"

brush brush brush

In just an instant, the full tower became empty. Hayama slowly walked down the steps and said to the jounin of the Aburame clan: "Follow me."

After that, he left the place in a flash, leaving Jiraiya sitting alone on the chair with a heavy face, his hands folded on his chest and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Hayama took the Aburame clan jounin back to area B and found a place with a wide view to lurk.

The reason why Hayama chose to return to this area was because he had his own plans. Normally, ninjas are human beings who do not play by the rules. They are often real desperadoes and cunning people, such as those under the lamp.

The routine has been tried and tested repeatedly.

Now that there is a search team composed of all jounin in other areas, and some key areas where genin gather are also searched by Byakugan radar, it is very likely that the group of intruders will return to the area where the incident occurred to make a scene.

Of course, these are all Ye Shan's guesses. He is not a roundworm in the enemy's stomach, so he cannot accurately grasp the enemy's movements.

Just as Hayama was listening intently to the movements in the forest, the ninja from the Aburame clan said dullly: "Actually, my perception is very strong."

Hayama was slightly stunned, turned his head and glanced at the other party inexplicably and asked: "The ninjas of the Aburame clan still practice sensory ninjutsu?"

As far as he knew, the ninjas of the Aburame clan had kept bugs in their bodies since they were young, and they also practiced the insect-repelling ninjutsu secretly passed down by the clan. Where did they find the time to practice sensory ninjutsu? Moreover, the training conditions for sensory ninjutsu were extremely harsh.

, otherwise sentient ninjas would not be so rare.

The ninja of the Aburame clan pushed up the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose and said in a low voice: "It's not a sensory ninjutsu. I can drive insects to detect."

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand, and under Ye Shan's gaze, densely packed bugs emerged from the holes in his skin, and then flew out quite regularly.

"...."

"This is a special kind of insect that is extremely sensitive to the chakra in the ninja's body. It can accurately sense the strength of its chakra, so it can be used for reconnaissance."

Ye Shan suddenly realized that insects had so many uses, so he couldn't help but ask: "What's your name?"

"Aburame Kengo."

Ye Shan nodded and said softly: "How big is the scope of the search?"

"About five kilometers. If it's further away, the insects won't obey my command."

The range of five kilometers was already impressive, far beyond that of ordinary sentient ninjas. Hayama was interested in it, but did not say much. Instead, Aburame Kengo continued to talk.

"In the thirty-ninth year of Konoha, we met several times on the battlefield of Grass Country."

Hayama was a little puzzled. It was reasonable to say that he had an impression of the ninjas he had met, especially the ninjas from the same village. Why didn't he remember the other person at all?

"Hayama-sama, don't you remember?" Aburame Kengo's voice was mixed with a little disappointment.

Ye Shan pursed his lips and smiled apologetically: "Sorry, it's been too long and I have no impression."

"..."

Not sure if it was his own misunderstanding, Ye Shan actually felt a trace of sadness, which made him even more confused.
