Chapter 113 Some Trivia

Just as the new Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village is launching a vigorous reform, a Jonin Conference in the Konoha Village is about to be held as scheduled under the arrangement of the Third Hokage.

This was already the third Jonin Conference since Yeshan returned to the village. The purpose of the meeting was naturally to discuss how to deal with the aggressive envoys from the Land of Water and the division of the Three-Tails.

Ye Shan stayed beside Yamashiro Tatsu's grave for a full twenty-seven days before leaving Nanhe River. As for the heads of Yagura and the other two, they had long lost their original value and began to rot slightly.

As the sky gradually darkened, the Uchiha clan's territory was brightly lit. The izakayas, yakiniku restaurants, and meatball shops on both sides of the road welcomed the peak business of the day. Many civilians and ninjas from the village came here together to enjoy the food while washing away the day's fatigue. The scene was very lively.

This was unthinkable in the past, but under the advice of Ye Shan and the promotion of the father of the Uchiha Fugaku clan leader, the Uchiha clan finally opened up part of the clan land for commercial development. This has more advantages than disadvantages. The clan members who strongly opposed it at the beginning became silent in the face of daily money income and even joined in. After all, no one can resist money.

Ye Shan was wearing home clothes and had taken off his standard ninja vest. He was walking slowly on the street. From time to time, ninjas from the Uchiha clan would come forward to greet him. As for the ninjas in the village, they chose to ignore him.

By now, even the Genin in the village knew that Ye Shan was no longer an ordinary ninja, but a complete anti-Yu element.

With light steps, Ye Shan soon came to a single-family house, which was the home of Uchiha Fugaku.

A noble family has its own heritage, and with it come some complicated rituals, which are not comparable to some families that have become rich in a short period of time. As one of the most powerful people in the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku's home covers a large area. It is not an exaggeration to describe it with some classical gardens that Ye Shan visited in his previous life. There are many carved beams and painted buildings, corridors and fish ponds, which have a rich atmosphere of "pear blossoms in the courtyard, the moon is shining, and catkins in the pond are blowing gently".

When several old servants saw that it was Ye Shan who came, they did not dare to neglect him. They invited him to sit in the living room for a while, and then sent someone out to look for Uchiha Fugaku.

Ye Shan didn't expect that Uchiha Fugaku hadn't returned home so late, but he didn't care. He sat next to the low coffee table, sipping tea and waiting quietly.

A babbling child staggered to the fish pond outside the living room, put his chubby fingers in his mouth and sucked on them. He tilted his head and looked at the colorful fish in the pond curiously. He was so cute and adorable.

Ye Shan put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the child outside the living room with a smile. He knew that this was Uchiha Fugaku's only son and his designated disciple, and there was peace in his eyes.

However, he didn't expect that the young Uchiha Itachi was so naughty. While Ye Shan was stunned, he walked to the edge of the pond, stepped one foot out, and stretched out his chubby hands forward, obviously wanting to catch those colorful fish.

Ye Shan's expression changed and he suddenly disappeared in the living room. When he reappeared, he was squatting on the surface of the pond, and with his two hands he steadily caught Uchiha Itachi who was falling into the pond.

At this time, a scream was heard, and a figure came to Uchiha Itachi's side. It was his mother Uchiha Mikoto.

Seeing that it was a false alarm, Uchiha Mikoto finally felt relieved, but then she frowned, picked up Uchiha Itachi's small body, and uttered a voice of blame and doting.

Uchiha Itachi had just turned one year old, an age when he was extremely curious about everything in the world. When he saw that he couldn't get the fish he wanted, he couldn't help but pout and threw himself into his mother's arms, making a fuss.

Ye Shan chuckled and placed his right hand on the clear surface of the pond. The smooth water surface began to ripple, and a "fish" made of water jumped out of the water and landed squarely in the hands of the crying Uchiha Itachi.

Apart from its transparent color, this fish is no different from a real fish. The scales are neatly arranged on its body, its tail is swaying gently, and even the tentacles near its lips are swaying in a rhythmic pattern.

Uchiha Itachi got what he wanted, and he immediately burst into laughter, extremely happy. He struggled to the ground, holding the water fish and left contentedly.

There was a flash of horror in Uchiha Mikoto's eyes. She was also an excellent ninja, so she naturally knew what was hidden in Ye Shan's move of turning water into fish. To be frank, even some medical jonin did not have such superb chakra control ability.

From the small details, we can tell that the young man squatting on the water with a smile on his face possesses considerable strength.

"Yayama, don't spoil him too much. Don't spoil Itachi." Uchiha Mikoto said with some blame.

Ye Shan smiled and waved his hand, saying, "This pond is too dangerous. It would be safer to add a guardrail."

Uchiha Mikoto nodded, but changed the subject and said, "You are twenty this year, and it is time for you to start a family. Fugaku and his men are very busy, and their minds are all focused on their work in the security department. If there is a girl you like, tell me and I will arrange it for you."

Yeshan felt a headache. Ever since Uchiha Mikoto retired from active ninja service and became a full-time housewife, she has shown great interest in the marriages of these unmarried ninjas and would talk about them every time they met.

Just as Yeshan was hesitating about what to say, Uchiha Fugaku happened to appear in front of the two of them, followed by Uchiha Nagayasu.

"What are you talking about?" Uchiha Fugaku asked curiously.

Mikoto covered her mouth and smiled, saying, "We are talking about Ye Shan's lifelong event."

Nagato Uchiha, who was standing behind Uchiha Fugaku, froze his smiling face. He hurriedly stuffed the bag in his hand into Fugaku's hands, and left here instantly without even saying hello. It was obvious that he was tortured.

Uchiha Mikoto's face turned dark, and she glared fiercely in the direction where Uchiha Nagayasu left. Knowing what the two were going to discuss, she turned around and went to find Uchiha Itachi.

Ye Shan let out a long sigh, patted his chest with lingering fear, walked out of the pond, and came to the living room with Uchiha Fugaku.

The two didn't say anything, just drank tea quietly. Then Fugaku took out a report and handed it to Hayama, asking him to look at it first, while he went back to the bedroom to change his clothes.

The reports were about the latest happenings in the ninja world, and two of them caught Ye Shan's interest. One was the blood mist reform being carried out in the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water, and the other was the emergence of a genius puppeteer named Scorpion in the Hidden Sand Village in the Land of Wind.

The reform of the Hidden Mist Village seems to be a case of destroying something before building something new. Although the policies are indeed bloody, they can indeed change the atmosphere in the Hidden Mist Village in a short period of time, arouse the bloodthirsty dark side of the ninjas, and improve the strength of the ninja village. There is nothing worthy of attention.

Instead, the ninja named Sasori attracted Ye Shan's attention more. This person had a close relationship with the late Hatake Sakumo. If Ye Shan remembered correctly, Sasori's parents died under Hatake Sakumo's sword. I wonder if this hatred was engraved in his heart.

If this young man is someone who holds a grudge, then Hatake Kakashi will be in danger.

Ye Shan narrowed his eyes, a murderous look flashed across his face, and he was wondering whether he should find a time to eliminate this genius.

No matter how Kakashi treats Yeshan, he is the only bloodline of Hatake Sakumo left in the world. Although Yeshan doesn't say it, he still takes him very seriously in his heart.

On Ye Shan's growth path, Hatake Sakumo was the benefactor and the guide in his practice. Without Hatake Sakumo's guidance, Ye Shan might have died in some unknown place long ago, like a wild grass that no one cared about.

"what happened?"

Uchiha Fugaku changed into home clothes and returned to the living room. He keenly noticed the vague murderous intent in his friend and asked.

Ye Shan was startled, put down the report in his hand, shook his head and said, "Nothing."

"What are you planning to do next?" Uchiha Fugaku asked again.

Ye Shan pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that Qingsi, who is in charge of guarding the East Gate, has asked for marriage leave. There is no replacement in the clan for the time being, so I will go there."

"puff"

Uchiha Fugaku spat out the tea he had just drunk. Fearing that he had heard it wrongly, he raised his voice and asked back, "Watch the gate?"

Ye Shan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't say such harsh words. This is the first line of defense for Konoha. It is a noble profession."

"No, I'm totally against it."

Uchiha Fugaku expressed his opinion in a tough manner, and after thinking for a while, he said again: "The deputy director of the Security Department will retire in two months. You will be the deputy director, which will be a good opportunity for me to help me control those bastards in the clan."

"I am a person from another family. Being the deputy minister will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among some people. Besides, I am not a fan of power. Forget it."

Uchiha Fugaku raised his eyebrows and said unhappily: "Who dares to be unhappy? As long as I am here, no one dares to say no."

"Besides, we have this in our hands."

As he said that, Fugaku raised three fingers to indicate.

However, Ye Shan still shook his head firmly. The Security Department was the forbidden fruit of the Uchiha clan, and anyone who wanted to get involved would arouse their hatred, even Ye Shan. He just wanted to find something to do, so that he could practice peacefully and earn some mission money at the same time.

Ye Shan needs money, or rather, Yamashiro Chen's family needs money. He wants to give some financial compensation to Yamashiro Chen's mother and sister.

Seeing that Hayama was determined, Fugaku felt embarrassed. He really didn't want his friend to condescend to guard the gate. After thinking for a long time, his eyes lit up and he had a new idea.

"The village will set up a team in the forest to the east to guard security and catch spies. You go there."

Ye Shan thought for a moment, agreed, and said, "What are the clan's plans for tomorrow's Jonin Tournament?"

"I don't have any plans. The three tails are already in the clan's possession and will definitely not be handed over. This is also agreed by the elders' council."

"Since we got the tailed beasts, some small families that were originally wavering have clearly joined us, and the daimyo has also sent a letter inviting father to meet in the capital. These benefits are real."

After a pause, Fugaku continued, "The clan's intention is to give the village a few mineral deposits for development. I believe that after they get the benefits, they will accept the ownership of the Three-Tails. After all, the Hidden Mist Village has given it up."

Ye Shan was not surprised by this situation. The starting point of any organization or person is profit.

The village got a few minerals, and the Uchiha clan got a tailed beast that ranked last among the tailed beasts. No matter how you look at it, the village made a profit from this deal. After all, the Nine-Tailed Beast was so powerful, the Three-Tailed Beast was not a big threat.

The two talked for a while, all about strange things, not political affairs. After a long time, Ye Shan saw that it was getting late, declined Fugaku's invitation, and went to the Uchiha clan's hospital to visit his mother.

When the mother and son meet, there is bound to be some nagging, but Yeshan's mother's complexion is much better. She is enthusiastically planning to plant some vegetables on a piece of vacant land. Yeshan naturally agrees with a smile and plans to discuss it with Fugaku another day to fulfill his mother's little wish.

Looking at his mother's rosy face, Ye Shan was in a good mood. He even ate a lot more in the evening, and only put down his chopsticks in satisfaction when he was full.

"Perhaps, we can ask Tsunade to treat mother."

Such a thought flashed through Ye Shan's mind.
