Chapter 126 I Say You Can Do It, So You Can Do It

That night, Ye Shan dressed up very carefully, shaved his face clean, and even washed his hair. He didn't go out until he was satisfied with himself in the mirror.

Regardless of whether it was the moon's fault last night, since his relationship with Tsunade was confirmed, he naturally had to treat it sincerely. After all, Ye Shan didn't even dare to think about being a scumbag.

When passing by a flower shop, Ye Shan went in and bought a bouquet of white carnations, and then went to Tsunade's residence with the flowers in his arms.

Tsunade had been lying in front of the window watching the movement in front of the door. Seeing that it was Ye Shan who came with flowers, she opened the door first without waiting for him to knock.

"You're here?" He said in an excited tone.

Ye Shan smiled, handed the flowers in his arms to Tsunade, and said, "This is for you."

Tsunade took it generously, lowered her head and gently sniffed the fresh floral scent, and smiled, "Thank you."

"Come in and sit down."

This was the first time that Yeshan walked into Tsunade's home. As expected, her residence was not as luxurious as it looked on the surface. The house was filled with some very family-friendly furniture, but the color of the furniture was very old.

According to Ye Shan's inherent thinking in his previous life, the floors of rich people's homes should be paved with marble, and the lighting should be done with gold chandeliers. Even the tableware should be made of gold and silver. This is actually very narrow-minded.

The Uchiha clan is also a powerful family, but the Fugaku family is not so magnificent. Instead, there is a heavy atmosphere of historical sedimentation, which is not something that can be bought with money. Naturally, the Senju clan is not much worse.

The house does have a historical feel, but it's a bit messy. Although there are signs of deliberate cleaning, the signs are too obvious, so obvious that Ye Shan's obsessive-compulsive disorder sets in.

It is obvious that Tsunade's daily life is exactly the same as her temperament, full of boldness.

While Tsunade went into the house to change clothes, Ye Shan rolled up his sleeves and tidied up the house simply, and did not stop until he found the house pleasing to the eye.

After a while, Tsunade, who had changed her clothes and put on some light makeup, came out. Seeing the living room which was obviously much more comfortable, she raised her eyebrows slightly, but said nothing. She walked out of the house shoulder to shoulder with Ye Shan.

The moonlight tonight was still beautiful and bright, and the dinner was delicious and rich, which made Ye Shan feel better than ever. Although the two did not say any vows, their eyes were filled with burning light when they looked at each other, and their hearts were connected at this moment.

Ye Shan finally understood the meaning of the phrase "even though I don't have the wings of a phoenix, our hearts are connected with each other." This feeling was so wonderful that he was addicted to it.

Yeshan had been enjoying this wonderful feeling until one day Fugaku came to him with a gloomy face.

"Have you forgotten something?" Fugaku asked with some dissatisfaction in his voice.

"what's up?"

Yeshan thought for a long time. He realized that he had not delayed Obito's training during this period. Under his guidance and Kakashi's training, the other party's strength was a world apart from before. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he had been reborn.

"Didn't you promise me to patrol outside the village? It's been a few months, and the patrol team has been replaced twice. Where are you?"

"..."

If Uchiha Fugaku hadn't mentioned this today, Ye Shan really wouldn't have remembered such a thing, and couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

"I'll go tomorrow."

Fugaku observed Ye Shan's expression and couldn't help laughing and said, "This is not like you before. Is Lady Tsunade so charming?"

These words were full of joy. Fugaku was truly happy for Hayama, and happy that his friend could live like a normal person. After all, the dark side of Hayama before was too heavy, almost as heavy as that of Shimura Danzo.

Ye Shan touched his nose and said awkwardly, "It is indeed big."

"Hahaha, that's great. I'm looking forward to drinking at your wedding."

"That won't do. The gift money can't be less."

"Don't worry about this. I'll give you a big red envelope." Uchiha Fugaku said generously.

After seeing Fugaku off, Yeshan sat in a chair and pondered, thinking that he had indeed been obsessed with love during this period of time and even neglected his work. This could not go on.

Today is June 23rd. After this month, I will work seriously. Well, that's it.

The days passed in Yeshan, where he was slacking off on patrols, having a serious relationship, and practicing diligently. In the blink of an eye, it was February of the 46th year of Konoha.

Over the past year, Ye Shan has lived an extremely happy life. This happiness is unimaginable to outsiders and difficult to describe. It can only be understood but not expressed in words. In a word, Ye Shan's happiness is beyond your imagination.

On this day, Yeshan was patrolling in the forest east of the village when a masked Anbu found him and conveyed the orders of the Hokage.

"Please ask Lord Hayama to come to the Hokage's office immediately."

After saying that, the Anbu quickly and efficiently left.

Several Uchiha clan ninjas gathered around, speculating on Sarutobi Hiruzen's intention of summoning Hayama.

Ye Shan stopped the people's increasingly outrageous speculations, stroked his chin and said, "The Chunin Exam will be held next month, maybe this is the case."

"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility of other things. Duanmu, please go to Fugaku's office. The others will continue patrolling as usual. I will come back later."

They all understood instantly that the later time Ye Shan mentioned would indeed be later, most likely as late as tomorrow morning, or even as late as noon.

Over the past year, Ye Shan often pretended to patrol in the morning and then found an excuse to slip away. The others were used to it and just asked Ye Shan to take care of his health and not to overfish.

Ye Shan smiled slightly, of course he would not explicitly say how powerful he was and how fierce his firepower was. He just laughed and left instantly.

In recent years, the size of Konoha Village has increased significantly. Many people from other villages have migrated here to settle down, which has caused the housing prices to rise a lot and made the village look prosperous and wealthy.

The order from the Anbu was to rush to the Hokage's office immediately, but Yeshan didn't take it to heart. Instead, he walked slowly on the busy street. Occasionally, when he saw some rare gadgets, he would stop to bargain until he bought them to his satisfaction.

In this way, it took Yeshan nearly an hour to reach the Hokage's office. Before he even entered the door, a smell of smoke wafted out. He knew without looking that it was Sarutobi Hiruzen smoking.

When I entered the room, as expected, it was Sarutobi Hiruzen sitting on a chair, smoking with a sad face. But he was not the only one smoking, Nara Shikaku and Jiraiya were also smoking.

Seeing that it was Ye Shan who came, Nara Shikaku took out a newly opened box of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette and threw it over. Even if they secretly disliked each other, they still had to pass cigarettes when they met.

Ever since he started dating Tsunade, Ye Shan has quit smoking. He never buys cigarettes on weekdays. He smokes when others give him cigarettes, and smokes when others don't...

Ye Shan took the cigarette, glanced around the office, and after confirming that there was no one telling tales, he snapped his fingers with his right hand, and a small flame sprang up, lighting the cigarette.

"Hi~hoo~"

You know what, it feels really good to smoke again after such a long time. It makes me feel comfortable.

There were four of them, one sitting and three standing, smoking, making the Hokage's office full of smoke.

After finishing his cigarette, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and said softly, "I called you here today because of the Chunin Exam."

"Next month, a large-scale Chunin Exam will be held in the village. Dozens of countries including the Land of Earth, Land of Wind, Land of Lightning, Land of Rain, Land of Grass, and Land of Frost will send ninjas to participate in this exam. It can be said that the scale is the largest in history."

"I called you here to hear your thoughts. Jiraiya, speak first."

A leader is a leader. He will not express his opinion easily on some matters, but will listen to the opinions of his subordinates first.

However, Jiraiya was not in the village for many years and did not hold any position. He was not interested in these twists and turns. When he saw his master calling his name, he spread his hands and said, "I don't have any ideas. I will do whatever you tell me to do, old man."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was not surprised at all. After so many years, Jiraiya was still as carefree as ever, and he couldn't change that, so he asked about Hayama.

"Ye Shan, tell me."

Ye Shan pondered for a moment and said, "This Chunin Exam will only benefit the village. I think the village should not only hold the Chunin Exam in a big way, but also ensure that it can take the top spot in the exam to show its strength and intimidate other countries."

Don't underestimate the Chunin Exam, and don't underestimate the Chunin level ninjas. No matter how powerful the people in Konoha Village appear to be, it is always the ninjas at the bottom who support the status of the village.

Yeshan also worked his way up from the bottom, so he naturally knew the importance of Chunin to the village. He was also more aware of the nature of the so-called Chunin Exam. To put it bluntly, the Chunin Exam was a military exercise to demonstrate the strength and vitality of a ninja village.

As far as he knew, Sarutobi Hiruzen had put a lot of effort into obtaining the right to host this exam, just to show off his prowess in front of others.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded. It was obvious that Yeshan's words touched his heart. Although the ninja world now seems to be prosperous and peaceful, the fighting in secret has never stopped. Many Anbu members die in battle every year.

"Since you all agree that we should take this Chunin Exam seriously, I won't keep you in suspense. The village has decided to have you serve as the chief examiners to ensure that the exam goes smoothly. This is both an affirmation of your abilities and a trust in you. I hope you can correct your attitude and complete the task with all your passion."

Having said this, Sarutobi Hiruzen deliberately looked at Jiraiya. Although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

Jiraiya frowned and was about to say no, but when he saw his master's hair mixed with some white hair, he finally couldn't bear to refuse and changed his appearance.

"Old man, you know my organizational ability. I'm afraid I don't have the confidence to do it. How about Orochimaru instead?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen glared and said, "Orochimaru has other things to do, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you to be the examiner."

"As for whether it works or not, it's not up to you. If I say you can do it, then you can do it. Even if I say you can't do it, you have to do it!"

"It's settled. You will go and prepare for the Chunin Exam tomorrow. Of course, if there are some outstanding talents, don't hide them. Just recommend them. The safety of the exam held in your own village is guaranteed."

Ye Shan thought for a moment and said, "Hokage-sama, I recommend Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Obito to participate in this Chunin Exam."

"Oh?" Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, a little hesitant.

"The Chuunin Exams are for teams of three, and I'm afraid that's not a good idea since they only have two."

Ye Shan smiled confidently and said, "Have you ever thought about how much benefit it would bring if the two-person Konoha team won the competition?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen stroked his beard, his eyes gradually brightened, and asked, "Do you have this confidence?"

"Yes!" Ye Shan said firmly.

"Okay, I approve."

"Thank you, Hokage-sama."

After talking about the things, the three of them walked out of the Hokage's office and chatted for some more time before leaving. However, Ye Shan shamelessly asked for another cigarette. There was nothing he could do about it since someone was watching over him.

As for Sarutobi Hiruzen's decision to choose Hayama as the examiner, he had no choice. He couldn't summon back Minato Namikaze who had reached the critical moment of training, or call that insidious guy Danzo Shimura to be in charge of the exam.

Over the years, a younger generation of ninjas have grown up in other countries, but Konoha has not seen any new ninja capable of taking on important tasks since the death of Hatake Sakumo.

Otherwise, why would Sarutobi Hiruzen go to so much trouble to hold such a large-scale Chunin Exam?
