Chapter 114 Before the Meeting

Early the next morning, Ye Shan woke up from the small bed in the ward and saw that his mother was still sleeping soundly. He tiptoed out of the room and came to the street where the air was fresh.

Although it was still early, the street was bustling with many pedestrians walking back and forth. From time to time, familiar ninjas would come forward to greet them, and Ye Shan responded with a smile.

After some simple activities, Ye Shan came to a breakfast shop, ate a lot of food with a good appetite, and then packed a portion to take away, which was the breakfast he brought for his mother. Although the food in the hospital of the Uchiha clan is good, eating it frequently will inevitably make people feel a loss of appetite. Occasionally eating a meal outside will naturally make people feel better.

Sure enough, the large portion of breakfast was eaten up by my mother, who exclaimed that she had not had such a delicious breakfast for a long time.

Ye Shan smiled and said, "If you like it, I will send it to you every day."

Ye Shan's mother waved her hand and chuckled, "I know you are busy. You don't have to come to see me every day. I am fine now."

At this time, Uchiha Fugaku opened the door and walked in, holding a fruit basket in his hand. Seeing the two of them talking, he smiled and asked, "Is there any good news so early in the morning?"

Ye Shan stood up, took the fruit basket from Uchiha Fugaku, put it on the table, and said, "Nothing, just some family matters."

"Auntie, if you have any requests, just tell the doctor. I've already given him a heads up." Uchiha Fugaku said.

"I'm really sorry to bother you."

Uchiha Fugaku shook his head and said, "You are too polite. Ye Shan and I are very good friends. It is only natural for me to do this."

When Yeshan's mother saw Uchiha Fugaku wearing the Konoha standard vest and Konoha forehead protector, she knew that the two of them had important matters to deal with today, so she did not try to keep them and kept urging Yeshan to do his work.

Dozens of people were already waiting at the hospital gate. When they saw Uchiha Fugaku and Hayama walking out side by side, they naturally surrounded them and greeted them, and then followed them towards the Konoha conference room.

Along the way, many ninjas attending the meeting kept their distance from this group until they met another group.

This group of people were not wearing Konoha ninja uniforms. Instead, they were all wearing kimonos, which set off their slender figures. They were members of the Hyuga clan.

The relationship between the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan cannot be said to be very harmonious. They have been very unhappy in private for some interests, but they are all top-notch powerful clans and have their own demeanor. Since they have met, a few words of greeting are inevitable.

"It's been a long time since we last met. The clan leader is still as charming as ever."

Uchiha Fugaku is the younger generation, so he should be the first to greet.

The head of the Hyuga clan is a middle-aged man in his forties. His long hair is not tied up but is loosely draped behind his back. He is neatly dressed and has few wrinkles around his eyes. He is obviously a master of health preservation.

"Haha, I'm old, time is not forgiving, from now on you youngsters should get closer to me."

"Rizu, why don't you come forward and say hello."

Behind the Hyuga clan leader stood two people who looked almost identical. They were actually twins. Upon hearing his father's instructions, the one on the left took a slight step forward and saluted, "Greetings, Brother Fugaku."

Uchiha Fugaku smiled and also bowed.

The two groups exchanged a few brief words, but unexpectedly parted ways at a fork in the road. Before they parted, Ye Shan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Master Patriarch, has a noble ever lost a white eye?"

The Hyuga clan leader suddenly turned around, his eyes flashing with cold light, and looked directly at Ye Shan and asked, "What do you mean?"

The rest of the Hyuga clan members also stared at Ye Shan with unfriendly eyes, and some were even so impatient that they rolled their eyes.

Ye Shan ignored these threatening looks, smiled faintly and said, "Nothing, I just want to inform the clan leader that the white eye no longer exists."

Rizu looked at his father's face, stepped forward, bowed and asked, "What does 'ceased to exist' mean?"

For the Hyuga clan, the Byakugan bloodline is the foundation of their survival. The lost Byakugan has always been a thorn in their hearts. They have tried to take it back, but they have failed. Now that there is new news, they are naturally very concerned.

Ye Shan did not keep the secret any longer and said bluntly: "I have killed that Mist Ninja. If nothing unexpected happens, the eye has also been shattered into pieces."

Under the pressure of tens of thousands of tons of rock, even the hardest bones in the human body will be crushed into pieces, not to mention the fragile eyes.

A look of surprise appeared on Rizu's face, and he was about to speak when he was interrupted by his father in front of him.

"The Hyuga clan owes you a debt of gratitude. If there is anything in the future, we will definitely not shirk responsibility within the clan's capabilities."

Ye Shan said he didn't dare, and the two groups finally parted ways and headed towards the venue from different directions.

After entering the venue, Yeshan separated from the Uchiha clan ninjas and sat down in the seat for civilian ninjas. As it was still early and he was not popular, he simply closed his eyes and rested.

Gradually, more ninjas appeared in the conference room, and the seat next to Ye Shan was also occupied. He still did not open his eyes and continued to wait quietly.

At this moment, a crisp sound of heels hitting the floor came from far away and stopped not far from Ye Shan. A fragrance drifted into his nose, making him open his eyes in surprise.

"Get out of the way. I want this seat."

The ninja who was about thirty years old and sitting next to Ye Shan, without saying a word after hearing these words, stood up quickly with a smile on his face and left his seat to find another seat.

The visitor nodded with satisfaction, then sat down beside Ye Shan in the puzzled look he gave him, and chuckled at him.

This smile seemed as bright as a spring breeze to others, but it made Ye Shan's body inexplicably tense. He felt as if there were ants crawling around, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

Many ninjas sitting in the conference room stopped talking and all looked at the direction where Ye Shan was sitting with strange eyes. The atmosphere was very stiff.

Ye Shan wiggled his hips and forced a smile, "Long time no see, Lady Tsunade."

Tsunade waved her hand heroically, signaling the ninja who was about to pour water to stop him from doing so, then smiled and said, "It's been a long time indeed. Let me think, it's been almost a month."

Ye Shan felt even more uncomfortable, as if he was sitting on pins and needles, and his whole body was uncomfortable.

"What's wrong? You're twisting your body all over. Do you have hemorrhoids?"

Tsunade asked seemingly with concern, but there was a big smile in her bright eyes.

"It's nothing, I just feel uncomfortable being stared at by them." Ye Shan pointed at the ninjas in the conference room and said.

They were sitting in the third row from the back in the conference room, with dozens of rows in front of them. Those sitting there all looked back at the same time, which made Ye Shan feel very uncomfortable.

Tsunade raised her pretty eyebrows and raised her voice, "What are you looking at? If you like it so much, do you want to come sit with me?"

As he spoke, he patted the empty space beside him.

The ninjas quickly withdrew their gazes and looked at the podium seriously, as if there was a flower there, but they all pricked up their ears.

Seeing the reactions of the ninjas, Tsunade smiled proudly, showing her white and neat teeth, and continued to ask: "Are you free tonight? Let's have a drink together."

When Ye Shan saw the other party holding the wine glass, his eyes twitched involuntarily. Just as he was about to speak, he felt a darkness in front of his eyes and a tall figure stood beside him.

The visitor was dressed casually, with his snow-white hair tied up, wearing a pair of wooden clogs, and there were two tear marks on his face painted with red paint.

"Why did you come and sit here?"

As they spoke, the newcomers actually sat down next to Ye Shan, and the two of them surrounded him from the left and right.

Ye Shan secretly groaned in his heart. He had wanted to attend this Jonin meeting in a low-key manner, but he did not expect to be surrounded by this pair of enemies. Now, he became the focus of everyone's attention.

The person sitting on the other side of Yeshan was none other than Jiraiya, the disciple of Sarutobi Hiruzen and one of the three famous ninjas of Konoha.

The ninjas who were watching the show were excited. Everyone in the village knew that Jiraiya had been secretly pursuing Tsunade for a long time, but he just didn't succeed. I thought today would be a boring day, but I didn't expect there would be such a good show to watch.

Even though he was muttering in his heart, Ye Shan still greeted respectfully. After all, the status of the Three Ninjas was not something he could compare to.

Tsunade frowned and said unhappily, "I can sit wherever I want, what's it to you?"

Jiraiya smiled awkwardly, knowing that Tsunade was angry, and hurriedly changed the subject, saying, "Orochimaru has become more and more mysterious recently. He is so mysterious all day long and I don't know what he is doing. Do you know any inside information?"

"I don't know." Tsunade said dryly.

Ye Shan sat upright, turning a deaf ear to the conversation between the two, but he didn't expect a big hand to pat his shoulder directly, and then Jiraiya's voice came to his ear: "What's going on?"

Ye Shan asked knowingly, "What's going on?"

Jiraiya gritted his teeth, looked towards Tsunade and gestured.

Ye Shan thought for a while, then whispered in Jiraiya's ear: "Maybe it's your period?"

"Auntie?"

Jiraiya was stunned for a moment and wanted to continue asking who Tsunade's aunt was, but he saw Hayama closed his mouth and eyes and seemed unwilling to say anything more. He had no choice but to frown and think about who Tsunade's aunt was.
