Chapter 138 Bloody Forest (6)

"I have followed Lord Sakumo on confidential missions several times," Aburame Kengo whispered.

Ye Shan's heart moved, and there was a hint of scrutiny in his eyes when he looked at the other person, but he still didn't speak.

"I know that you met secretly at Sakumo-sama's house that night, and I know what this meant to you."

"It's a pity that Lord Sakumo didn't contact me, otherwise there would have been one more person in the courtyard that day."

Ye Shan narrowed his eyes, carefully looked at Aburame Kengo who was lying beside him, and finally said: "Why bring this up now?"

It has been several years since Hatake Sakumo passed away. There is little point in mentioning the past events again tonight. Moreover, even if what the other party said was true, it indirectly reflects that he is not a ninja who is truly loyal to Sakumo, at least not the kind of ninja who can be trusted.

Aburame Kengo pointed at his nose and said slowly, "The Aburame clan is a genuine small ninja clan, and they joined the Hokage family as early as the Second Hokage era. Lord Sakumo didn't trust me because of this."

"As you think, I can't abandon my family and join Lord Sakumo's side, but if you need me in the future, please don't hesitate to help me, Lord Yeshan."

"The Aburame clan is not well-known or powerful, but it is a family that knows honor and respect. I, Aburame Kengo, am also a ninja who knows how to repay a favor."

Ye Shan did not comment and ignored the other party, but turned his gaze away.

All the ninjas of the Hokage line were on guard against Ye Shan, and were afraid that he would take advantage of his powerlessness to seize the power of the village. Even Sakumo's old subordinates thought so tonight. But how could they know that although the power seized was simple and crude, it was not what Ye Shan wanted. Ye Shan was an extremely patient person. He was waiting for a truly suitable opportunity. He would not blindly bet everything before the opportunity came.

Ye Shan is only 22 years old this year. Youth is his asset. He can afford to wait, but some people don’t have much time left.

All bottom-up coups will not last long, while the excess of power from top to bottom is not only legitimate but also makes it easier to do certain things.

The two no longer had any verbal exchanges, but lay quietly in the shadows, waiting for the enemy to come.

They lay there until dawn but gained nothing. Just when Ye Shan wanted to get up and return to the tower, a cluster of fiery red flares flew into the air with a sharp whistling sound, allowing all the ninjas in the forest to clearly see its bright color. It was the A-level area.

Area A is not far from Area B, about twenty kilometers away. It would take about ten minutes to get there at the speed of a ninja, which is a bit too long.

Ye Shan's face was as gloomy as water. He stood up coldly. A large amount of lightning penetrated his body and he turned into a flash of lightning. In just a moment, he disappeared from Aburame Kengo's sight, which made him secretly frightened.

In terms of speed alone, the current Hayama is still comparable to Hatake Sakumo in his prime. How could this not surprise Aburame Kengo? At the same time, his thoughts became even more determined.

No one wants to put all their eggs in one basket. Although the Aburame clan is a small ninja clan, they also have their own little thoughts. Sarutobi Hiruzen is indeed old. In a few years, the power of the village will usher in a major reshuffle. This will not stop because of someone's wishes, so naturally they have to prepare for the rainy day.

The lightning-attribute chakra stimulates the cells and will bring unimaginable bursts and speeds to the caster in a short period of time. The seemingly long road was crossed in less than five minutes with Ye Shan's full effort. The crackling sound of thunder and lightning along the way scared many Genin who were taking the exam and they retreated far away, and they had no intention of going forward to explore.

When Ye Shan arrived at the A-type area, the first thing that caught his eye was the corpses of several Genin. Judging from their tattered clothes, they were a team of unlucky ninjas from the Land of Lightning, which made Ye Shan even angrier.

Good, very good, this group of invaders are really brave!

"You all stand down!"

When several Konoha ninjas heard what Ye Shan said, they no longer hesitated. They launched a fierce attack, forcing their opponents to retreat three points, and then left the battlefield in unison and stood behind Ye Shan in a flash.

One, two...five, the nameless invaders slowly gathered together, all wearing masks without any patterns, covering their faces tightly.

Ye Shan narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "I don't think you will tell me your origins obediently, but it doesn't matter, you will tell me everything you want to tell me once you enter the torture department!"

The leader was a burly man with a long ninja sword on his back. Hearing this, he said in a deep voice: "The target is in place, let's go!"

Ye Shan was startled, and without waiting for the other party to make the first move, he rushed over like a flash of lightning without hesitation. In the blink of an eye, he was close to them. Then he swung his arms, and his overwhelming fists covered the five invaders.

But all this was within the enemy's calculations. Under Ye Shan's horrified gaze, strings of runes swarmed out from the soil one after another. In just a moment, a strange rune pattern was formed, and then a brilliant light burst out amid the casters' shouts.

Several Konoha ninjas who reacted no longer held back and used wind jutsu, fire jutsu and shuriken densely to hit the casters in an attempt to interrupt them, but they were a step too late.

After the dazzling light, the invader and Ye Shan disappeared from the spot, leaving only a strange rune pattern still spinning, which made the hearts of the Konoha ninjas present sink to the bottom.

An older Konoha ninja walked in and took a closer look at the runes. His body suddenly shook and he cried out, "Is this a space-time ninjutsu?!"

"what?"

The remaining Konoha ninjas were horrified and rushed forward to check. After a while, they stood there with strange expressions. Although they were not sure whether this technique was really a space-time ninjutsu, the strong spatial fluctuations could not deceive people. They all closed their mouths and dared not say a word.

It is well known in the ninja world that there is only Konoha Ninja Village that has space ninjutsu and its users. So the question is, where did these five invaders learn space ninjutsu?

Moreover, several people heard clearly what the invader said after seeing Ye Shan. It was obvious that the other party was targeting Ye Shan himself. As for attacking the Genin to disrupt the exam, it was simply a cover, a bait to lure Ye Shan into being fooled!

Several jonin knew that the matter had become a big deal, but they all stood there motionless. No one wanted to be the first to report the matter to the Hokage. Because they knew clearly that this matter might have been planned by the Hokage himself! Otherwise, where would the space-time ninjutsu come from?

This matter has far exceeded the scope of the Chunin Exam and involves the planning of the village's top leaders. All of them are family ninjas close to the Hokage, so they naturally know that keeping silent is more useful than doing anything else.

Then a strange scene appeared. Many Konoha's senior ninjas gathered together around a space ninjutsu technique in silence, as if they were guarding something. The deadlock was not broken until a junior ninja from the Uchiha clan reported this scene to Uchiha Fugaku through special means.

Uchiha Fugaku was extremely angry, and he stood there with several ninjas from the security department, scolding loudly, and his scolding was very unpleasant, but all the ninjas present turned a deaf ear to him, as if they didn't hear it.

But at this point, Uchiha Fugaku had no way to locate Yeshan, so he could only return to the clan territory with a gloomy face and issue a level one wartime warning to guard against any unexpected events.

For a while, the village was in chaos. Many Uchiha clan ninjas forcibly occupied the barrier class in full view of the public and announced that they would officially take over the defense of the village. This frightened many ninjas and they mistakenly believed that the Uchiha clan was going to stage a coup.

Ye Shan had no idea what was happening in the village. He only had time to push the lightning on his body to its maximum, and then his eyes blurred and he felt like vomiting. When he recovered, he found himself in an unfamiliar place.

This is a place with beautiful scenery. Peach blossoms sway gently in the spring breeze, emitting fragrance. A clear stream flows happily. From time to time, fish playfully jump out of the water, splashing drops of water, making the place look full of spring and vitality.

But Ye Shan had no intention of appreciating the scenery. He only wanted to kill people, those clowns who were jumping around in the dark.

He put on a smile and said in a cheerful tone, "Danzo-sama is quite elegant. He chose such a beautiful place as his burial place."

At this time, Shimura Danzo was wearing a combat vest, with a middle-aged man dressed as a rain ninja standing beside him, and dozens of Root ninjas half-kneeling behind him. Hearing this, he smiled coldly: "The scenery here is nice, but it's a pity that it was chosen for you."

"Baiyun Yeshan, you will die here today."

Ye Shan dissipated the lightning on his body without any concern, and with interest, he caught a falling peach blossom and put it in front of his nose and asked with a smile: "Don't you care about the Uchiha clan being provoked into a coup?"

Danzo Shimura took out a scroll from his arms, threw it in front of Ye Shan, and laughed happily.

"This is a document with the Hokage's personal seal. You are already a traitor who can be killed by anyone!"

Ye Shan couldn't hold back any longer and laughed out loud, looking up to the sky. He laughed until tears came out. Then he said, "Since when has the Hokage made the final decision on traitorous ninjas? If he says I'm a traitor, then I'm a traitor? This is so funny, hahaha."

Shimura Danzo snorted coldly and said, "In Konoha Village, what the Hokage says is what it is. If he says you are a traitor, then you are a traitor, and no one can question it!"

"Really?" Ye Shan covered his face with his hands and said in a muffled voice, "You are so fucking dark, you guys are so dark."

"Back then, Sarutobi Hiruzen was a villain, and so were you, Shimura Danzo. I didn't expect that the villain was actually that hypocritical guy Sarutobi Hiruzen. To be honest, even Senju Tobirama is not as villain as you guys."

"I, Baiyun Yeshan, would like to call you the darkest."

"Is this Hanzo from the Rain Village? It's really hard for you to invite this person."

Ye Shan put down his hands that were covering his face, slowly took off the Konoha uniform vest he was wearing, and asked curiously: "Do you really have no bottom line in your hearts?"

Shimura Danzo chuckled: "The bottom line is not for trash like you."

"I am trash? Maybe that's right, I really am trash." Ye Shan murmured.

On the eve of a life-and-death battle, Ye Shan's thoughts involuntarily drifted to World War II, and he thought of the conversation with Hatake Sakumo in the tent that day.

That was the day he was promoted to jonin, and it was also the day when Hatake Sakumo first revealed his ninja ways. Even though so much time had passed, Ye Shan still remembered it clearly.

He remembered every word that Hatake Sakumo had said. Hatake Sakumo once said that a ninja must have love in his heart, learn to love the village, and learn to love everyone in the village. Only in this way can the ninja not be enslaved by the violent power, and truly master this inhuman power to do something meaningful.

Over the years, although Ye Shan did not agree with Hatake Sakumo's ninja way in his heart, he followed it carefully, repeatedly gave in to the suppression of the village's top leaders, and was even willing to patrol outside the village rather than really take power.

Unfortunately, Hatake Sakumo's ninja way does not seem to be recognized by everyone, and is even trampled upon by others. Today's killing is the best proof of this.

Baiyun Yeshan asked himself that he had made a great contribution to the village. Even if he had no merit, he had worked hard. However, he ended up being killed in the process.

Repay good with good, and repay evil with evil. This is a principle that even children know. Why don’t Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others understand it?

Ye Shan was puzzled before, but now he suddenly understood. You should never try to use concessions and love to influence a person with a black heart, because it is useless.

To deal with hooligans, you must use hooligan methods. What a simple yet profound truth.
