The Steady King of Konoha

The atmosphere of the banquet did not cool down because the daimyo raised the issue of resident ninjas. Instead, it became warmer and warmer under the leadership of Sarutobi Hiruzen. For a while, everyone toasted frequently and it was very lively.

The meal didn't end until the afternoon. Hayama walked out of the Sarutobi clan's territory with a hint of drunkenness. After thinking about it, he decided to eat a bowl of ramen to fill his stomach.

The banquet was flashy and nothing was eaten. The main purpose was to bring the relationship between the two parties closer rather than to have a real feast. Hayama could see the pomp and circumstance of the nobles.

He came to the recently popular Ichiraku Ramen shop. The owner was a young man in his mid-twenties, dressed in a white chef's uniform and wearing a hat with the name Ichiraku Ramen on his head, looking very energetic.

"A bowl of tonkotsu ramen with an egg."

Hayama sat down on his own and announced the ramen he wanted to order.

"Sorry, we don't have tonkotsu ramen now. We do have seafood ramen. How about a bowl?"

"Okay." Ye Shan said nonchalantly.

It's not dinner time now, there are no other diners in the store, and the smell of meat is wafting around, so the pork must not be stewed yet.

The young shopkeeper quickly took a small ball of dough, beat it briefly a few times, pulled it into a noodle shape, and put it into the hot pot. Then he put bean sprouts and chopped green onions in the bowl, poured over the thick soup, and finally added the boiled noodles.

Good noodles, seafood, and a bowl of seafood ramen is complete.

The price of seafood ramen is 150 taels, which is quite expensive, but there is a lot of seafood, and the color and flavor are all good. Hayama moved his index finger. He first took a small sip of the soup, and then started eating it with big mouthfuls.

When Ye Shan drank the last mouthful of soup, he felt a strong sense of fullness and burped happily. A thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead, and his body felt comfortable from the inside out.

You also need to feel comfortable eating pasta. That kind of banquet is really boring. It doesn’t taste good and you won’t be full at all.

Ye Shan paid the money and strolled in the village. Seeing that it was still early, he decided to go to the forest outside the village to have a look. He did not forget that his job was to patrol. It was the moment when the outside was tight and the inside was tight, so he had to have time to catch fish.

Individual degree.

The patrol team outside the village is quite large, with nearly a hundred people, all of whom are ninjas from the Uchiha clan. Naturally, a small part of them are jounin, and most of them are ninjas at the chuunin level. However, their eye-opening rate is not low, and they are enough to cope with the patrol mission.

.

With his identity as Hayama, he had to be the captain, but he didn't take care of the specific affairs. He dealt with everything just like clocking in and leaving all the sundries to be handled by the two deputy captains, so he was quite free.

Arriving at the patrol team's office, Hayama found that there were no ninjas left behind. He couldn't help but become curious, but he didn't think much about it. Instead, he sat in his office and planned to take a nap.

He didn't sleep all night. Even if the ninja's toughness was much higher than that of ordinary people, he would still be tired at this time, so he leaned on the chair and fell asleep after a while.

I don't know how long it took, but the sound of noisy footsteps woke up Ye Shan who was having a sweet dream. He opened his eyes and woke up only for a moment. He took a big drink of water and walked out of the office.

Several Uchiha ninjas who were walking towards him saw that it was Hayama who was coming, and stepped forward to greet him with smiles on their faces.

The ninjas of the Uchiha clan are indeed arrogant, but they are also arrogant. They dare not be arrogant towards Hayama, their immediate boss and strong man. After all, strength and status determine the lord.

"What happened?" Ye Shan asked casually.

"My lord, I don't know. Team C captured an enemy spy in the forest today."

Ye Shan became interested, raised his eyebrows and asked: "How is your strength?"

He has been patrolling for nearly two years, and this is the first time that Hayama has encountered the arrest of a spy, so naturally he has to ask more questions.

"The strength is not weak, especially the earth escape ninjutsu. In the end, it was Master Duanmu who took action himself to capture the opponent alive."

Most of the ninjas of the Uchiha clan are good at illusions. It is normal to capture a spy alive. However, Hayama is curious as to why a spy appears outside the village.

"Take me to see it."

Several Uchiha ninjas took Hayama to the interrogation room, which was already packed with people.

Ye Shan frowned and scolded: "What are you doing here? Have you finished everything?"

When everyone saw that Ye Shan was coming, they all saluted and said hello, and then left in a hurry, obviously very convinced of Ye Shan's order.

The noisy interrogation room fell silent. Ye Shan pushed open the iron door and saw the captured spy through a piece of transparent glass.

This spy was dressed in ordinary people's clothes, slumped in a chair with his head tilted, looking like he was under an illusion. To Hayama's surprise, he turned out to be a female spy.

It's not that Hayama discriminates against female ninjas, but that the profession of espionage is too great a test on the ninja's psychological endurance. The loneliness of being in danger all the time can easily destroy a weak-minded ninja, and the spy is a bold person.

Careful work is generally done by male ninjas.

Uchiha Duanmu, the deputy captain of the patrol team, heard the report from his ninja that Hayama was coming, and rushed to the interrogation room to say hello without any hesitation.

Of course, I don’t dare to neglect it. Uchiha Duanmu’s brother-in-law is Uchiha Keiji. He knows very well how this depressed brother-in-law gradually ascended to the throne of the root leader. When he heard that Hayama was going to serve in the patrol team, he felt that

He was very excited and felt that he would be reused soon. As expected, he was now the vice-captain and had a lot of power in his hands.

"Why are Lord Hayama here today?"

Since Yamashiro Tatsu's death, Hayama has forbidden others to call him captain, so even if he is the captain of the patrol, the Uchiha clan ninjas usually address him as an adult.

Hayama sat on the chair and looked at the spy, nodded to Uchiha Duanmu and said: "I came here to have a look at it. I didn't expect to encounter the matter of catching a spy. How did you find her?"

Uchiha Duanmu poured a glass of water for Hayama diligently, and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence. During the patrol, that guy Shiro had a stomachache and went into the woods to solve it. He accidentally discovered her sneaking around. If it hadn't been for Shiro not long ago

If you awaken the second Magatama Sharingan, your life may be in danger."

Ye Shan was a little speechless. He never expected that the spy would be discovered like this, and he couldn't help feeling that fate was playing tricks on people.

"Have you been interrogated?"

"Not yet, but I have sent people to ask for torture ninjas from the clan who specialize in illusions. They should arrive soon."

Hayama nodded. Although most ninjas of the Uchiha clan are good at illusions, they are not good at torture. Illusions are also divided into types. They can be roughly divided into illusions to lure enemies, illusions to control enemies, restraint illusions, and hypnosis illusions. There are many types and different functions.

Take the Uchiha Duanmu in front of him as an example. His awakened three-magatama Sharingan is good at restraining illusions. When facing an enemy, he can often restrain the enemy's movements in an instant, leaving no room for resistance. However, he knows nothing about hypnotic illusions.

Not long after, a ninja wearing a security uniform came to the interrogation room, first greeted the two of them, and then opened his Sharingan to use hypnotic illusion on the spy.

To everyone's surprise, even though the spy had been completely hypnotized and his mind was completely confused, he still refused to reveal any information. He was obviously a very determined person.

Against such people, illusions and torture are useless. Even the ninjas of the mountain clan may not be able to do this. After all, most spies have restrictions in their minds. Forcibly searching for memories will only destroy the opponent's brain.

Hayama interrupted the genjutsu of the ninjas of the security department and planned to talk to the spy. If not, he would kill him. Living alive would be a waste of Konoha's food anyway. He was not a kind-hearted person.

Not long after the illusion was lifted, the female spy woke up from hypnosis. The first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to form seals with her hands to release the ninjutsu, but she found that all the chakra in her body was sealed and she couldn't use it at all.

He was shocked in his heart, but his face didn't move at all.

Hayama looked at the spy in dire straits with great interest, and found that the spy was not panicked at all, and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes. A ninja must not mess up his position at any time, otherwise it will undoubtedly accelerate his own death. Easier said than done.

It's very difficult to do, unless someone with a tough mind and long-lasting experience can do it, the average ninja will be a little panicked.

Hayama turned on the microphone in front of the glass cover and said calmly: "It seems that you are very aware of your situation. Can you tell me the purpose of coming to Konoha?"

The female spy glanced at Ye Shan, tightened her lips and had no desire to speak, her eyes were calm.

Uchiha Duanmu raised his eyebrows and shouted: "How brave! Do you know who is asking you? You dare to be so arrogant when you get here. I really don't know how to write the word "death".

As he spoke, the three Magatama Sharingan appeared in his eyes, staring at the spy with a cold light, as if he wanted to punish the other party.

Silent, the female spy remained silent, but her eyes became much more stern, with a fierce look.

To deal with this kind of ninja who has been mentally prepared for a long time, Hayama's usual approach is to send the ninja to meet the Sage of Six Paths to exchange ninjutsu, even though she is a delicate beauty.

"Since you don't want to say anything, I won't ask. Just don't forget to treat yourself to a meal during the holidays when you arrive in the Pure Land."

Ye Shan smiled nonchalantly, and a bright thunder light appeared on his right hand, making a crackling sound, and gradually lengthened in the eyes of several people, until it turned into a thunder knife.

Uchiha Duanmu was a little hesitant. He didn't want to kill the spy now. After all, this was a moderate achievement. Naturally, he wanted to claim credit from the clan, but thinking of his brother-in-law's instructions, he still chose to remain silent.

Ye Shan stood up, walked to the iron door next to the glass cover, opened the door and walked in. He walked behind the female spy, placed the thunder knife across her white and tender neck, and finally asked: "Still don't want to say it?

"

From such a close distance, Ye Shan could clearly see the female spy's hands tightly grasping the corners of her clothes, and even the hair on her face was blowing up. It was obvious that she was still afraid of death.

Still silent, even though the female spy didn't want to die, she still chose silence for some unknown reason.

Hayama sighed, and he felt a hint of admiration for this female spy. Not many ninjas could die calmly for the sake of the village or the way of tolerance.

The thunder knife burst into a large thunder light, shrouding the female spy's body in thunder and lightning. Ye Shan was still a good person after all, so he planned to paralyze the other party's body first and then kill her. This would also relieve some pain and be regarded as a reward for the other party to die calmly.

Bar.

"Don't be a ninja in your next life."

Saying that, Ye Shan used his right hand to pull back the thunder knife, and was about to cut the throat of the female spy, but he didn't expect that the door of the interrogation room was pushed open and interrupted him.

"Why are you here?" Ye Shan asked.

The visitor is Tsunade. This is also her first time coming to the patrol office. She would never come here on weekdays. After all, Senju and Uchiha both understand.

Tsunade snorted coldly, not paying much attention to what Hayama was going to do: "Have you forgotten what I told you this morning?"

Ye Shan's heart suddenly suddenly felt sore in his waist for no reason. Of course, he had not forgotten what Tsunade said to him in the morning. In fact, he had long wanted to try the use of shadow clone technique in private, but recently he couldn't stand it anymore.

He quietly ran outside the village to take shelter, but he didn't expect that Tsunade was chasing him.

"No way, I will go home after I deal with the spies." Ye Shan smiled with a smile on his face.

Tsunade frowned and said unhappily: "Can't these two people take action? You have to do it."

Uchiha Duanmu hurriedly walked into the interrogation room, took out a kunai from his ninja bag and said, "I'll do it."

He couldn't offend Hayama, and he couldn't offend Tsunade even more. These two were both uncles, and he, Uchiha Duanmu, was his grandson.

Hayama reluctantly put away the thunder knife in his hand, patted Uchiha Duanmu on the shoulder, and slowly walked out of the interrogation room.

Just when Hayama and Tsunade were about to leave, the female spy who had been silent suddenly spoke.

"Do you still remember me? Tsunade-sama."
