Chapter 158 On the Eve of Leaving the Village

The Chunin Exam came to an end under the attention of all the people, and Konoha became the biggest winner. Except for Obito who was defeated, all the other six Genin who took part in the third exam defeated their opponents, once again demonstrating the prosperity of Konoha's military power.

As expected, Kakashi was successfully promoted to Chunin, put on a light green combat vest, and gloriously became a member of the Green Army. As for Obito, he is still a Genin, strictly speaking, he should be a student of the Ninja School. He has not graduated yet and is not even a Genin.

Kakashi refused to wear the green vest at first. He thought the vest was ugly and uncomfortable to wear. However, he had no choice but to put it on at Yeshan's request. After all, his arms were no match for his thighs.

Yeshan's idea is very simple. A Konoha ninja should look like a Konoha ninja. Wearing a mask and wearing his favorite clothes all day long, making him look like a rebellious teenager, is too unconventional.

Kakashi's mask, Hayama had wanted to take it off for a long time. He wasn't ugly, so why should he hide it? Unfortunately, no matter how Hayama hinted, Kakashi refused to take off the mask.

The day after the exam, the envoys from various countries left the village in a farewell ceremony and set out on their way home, which meant that Ye Shan had to hurry up and act. Nothing could be delayed, otherwise it would be easy to lose the enthusiasm to do it, and killing was no exception.

That night, Yeshan quietly came to the Root base and negotiated with Uchiha Keiji for a long time. His purpose was to let the Root's spy lurking in the Sand Village provide some information about Scorpion to facilitate his capture.

Uchiha Keiji naturally agreed to all of Ye Shan's requests and handed him all the information about the spies lurking in the Sand Village. He also specifically told Ye Shan not to risk entering the Sand Village and it would not be too late to take action after the other party came out.

Ye Shan naturally knew the danger of entering the Sand Village, and he would not be so foolish as to go and kill him. Scorpion was not the kind of honest ninja. According to the recorded intelligence, he stayed outside the village for most of the year, doing some mysterious and shameful things, which made it very convenient for Ye Shan to kill him.

After saying goodbye to the busy Uchiha Keiji, Yeshan returned to his home and mentioned his next plan to Tsunade who had moved there.

"You're going to the Land of Wind?" Tsunade was very surprised. She didn't expect that Yeshan, a half-otaku, would choose to travel so far.

"There's a man I want to kill this morning, so I have to go."

Tsunade raised her embroidered eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Is it that Chiyo's grandson Scorpion?"

"How do you know?" Ye Shan was a little surprised.

"Humph, you always have no expression when you look at others, but you smile at Scorpion. Don't try to hide it from me."

Tsunade was a little proud. After her long-term observation, Ye Shan's habits were naturally memorized by her.

Ye Shan took two steps forward and hugged the beautiful woman who was watering the flowers, and said with a smile: "You are very careful, I can't hide this from you."

Tsunade pushed the shameless Hayama in annoyance, and when she found that she couldn't push him away, she let him hold her, pouting and saying unhappily: "I won't ask where you're going, but you can't use that secret technique that hurts your life span anymore. I don't want to be a widow."

"Don't worry, I won't use it."

"You know the truth."

It was the busiest time of the night and the streets of Konoha Village were quite lively. Many shouts floated into the houses through the bright moonlight, making it seem extremely warm.

"Ye Shan."

"Ok?"

"I'm hungry."

"Didn't you just have dinner?"

"I'm not talking about that kind of hunger."

Ye Shan was not honest anymore and asked with a wicked smile: "What kind of hunger?"

"What do you say?"

"Hey hey hey."

.......

Ye Shan has experienced the saying passed down by his ancestors that a man is as strong as a wolf or a tiger at thirty. He thought he had excellent physical fitness, but he did not expect that Tsunade was not an ordinary player. After several battles, he was defeated helplessly.

It’s not that we are incompetent, but that the enemy is too fierce.

Tsunade poured Yeshan a glass of warm water, and then lay back on the bed, looking extremely exhausted.

"Don't smoke."

Ye Shan reluctantly put away the unlit cigarette, took a sip of water and said, "I'll leave my mother to you after I leave."

"Don't worry." Tsunade said lazily.

"I don't care what you do outside, but you can't mess around with other girls, or I'll tear our house apart."

Ye Shan felt a chill rushing from his tailbone directly to his forehead, and goose bumps appeared on his skin. He hurriedly hugged Tsunade and said firm words.

"Don't you know my character? I am a steadfast and loyal person. Don't worry. If I ever do anything to let you down, I will castrate myself and practice the Sunflower Manual!"

"What is the Sunflower Manual?" Tsunade asked in confusion.

Ye Shan rolled his eyes and said seriously: "Sunflower Manual is a supreme secret manual. After practicing it, you can be invincible in the ninja world."

"Impossible, there is no such secret book in the ninja world."

"Really, I'm not lying to you."

Tsunade asked suspiciously, "If there is, why don't we see anyone practicing it?"

“Hehehe.” Ye Shan laughed slyly, “Because this secret book can only be practiced by men, women don’t meet the requirements to practice it.”

"Why don't women meet the requirements?" Tsunade is about to transform into a boxer and have a round of boxing with Hayama.

"because..."

Ye Shan whispered a few words into Tsunade's ear, which made her furious. A small white hand accurately pinched the soft flesh on her waist and twisted it a few times like a screw.

"It hurts..."

"Hmph, I'll make you behave yourself."

"Nonsense, you were even more frivolous than me just now."

"You still dare to talk back, don't you?"

"Ahhh, wrong, wrong."

The moon hid behind a cloud, as if it was too shy to look directly at the two people playing together.

The next morning, Tsunade got up early for once and made a breakfast for Ye Shan, which made him very happy.

"I'm leaving!"

Tsunade's face showed reluctance, she nodded and said softly: "Kiss me."

"buying"

"Go ahead, go ahead, remember what I said yesterday."

"I know, I know."

Ye Shan was carrying a backpack, a dark green Konoha standard vest on his upper body, two bulging ninja tool bags hanging behind his waist, a forehead protector on his head, and a pair of black ninja pants on his lower body. He looked quite capable.

After leaving home, Yeshan first went to the Security Department to receive the appointment letter for border patrol. After briefly saying goodbye to Uchiha Fugaku, he drove to the west gate of Konoha and saw Kakashi and Obito standing there from a distance.

"It's already eight o'clock, Master, you're late." Obito muttered, very dissatisfied with Ye Shan's lateness.

"Something delayed me. Are you all ready?"

Obito patted the package on his back and said, "I'm ready."

As they were going on a long journey and the date of their return to the village was uncertain, Obito and Kakashi had been preparing the supplies to bring two days ago, so they were naturally fully prepared now.

Ye Shan nodded and asked, "How many goggles did you prepare?"

Obito pushed up the goggles on his forehead and said proudly, "That's five in total."

"That's fine."

Ye Shan handed the appointment letter in his hand to the Uchiha ninja on duty. The latter let him go without even looking at it, and greeted him respectfully before leaving.

After leaving the village, the three did not go to the border immediately, but came to the patrol office in the forest. As expected, they found the deputy captain of the patrol team, Uchiha Duanmu, who was working in the office.

"Master Ye Shan, why are you here?"

Uchiha Duanmu put down the pen in his hand, stood up from the chair, took out a pack of cigarettes and was about to hand one to Ye Shan.

"I don't want to smoke anymore. Just give me the whole pack."

"..."

Ye Shan happily packed the pack of expensive high-end cigarettes, completely ignoring the two little ones with strange looks behind him.

"Are you going on a long journey?"

Uchiha Duanmu had long been accustomed to Ye Shan's freeloading behavior. Seeing that the three people were all carrying large and small bags, he asked with some confusion.

"Well, take these two little guys to the border to exercise and change patrol locations."

"You must be joking. There is no need for you to go on patrol in person. I wonder which border you are going to?"

"The Kingdom of Wind."

"There are not many people on the border of Wind Country. I remember that guy Zhengren is serving as a team leader there. If you have anything to do, just tell him to do it. I will give him a heads up in advance."

Ye Shan nodded, and he became more and more appreciative of the tactful Uchiha Duanmu. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Work hard, and you will be the captain when I come back."

Uchiha Duanmu nodded reservedly, but even the slow-witted Obito could see the joy in his eyes.

"Please be careful when you go out, it's not as safe outside the village as inside."

"Got it. You should work hard while I'm away. Take care of the patrol team first."

"Don't worry."

The two chatted for a few more words, and then Ye Shan took the two little ones out of the office and disappeared into the forest under the gaze of Uchiha Duanmu.

The three of them did not delay any longer and rushed to the border at full speed. Hayama led the way, and Kakashi and Obito followed behind, traveling in a V-shaped formation.

Ye Shan wanted to train the two's endurance, so he traveled at the speed of a Chunin. At the beginning, they were out of breath after only an hour and had to stop to rest. After two days, they were used to high-intensity running and gradually understood how to use the least amount of physical strength and chakra to travel, and they could last for half a day.

Konoha's 11th Patrol Camp is the smallest camp on the entire border, with only 15 ninjas stationed here. Their daily tasks are nothing more than patrolling. This place is very close to the endless desert of the Wind Country, and you can almost feel the hot wind blowing from the desert. The environment is harsh and the terrain is flat, so it has never been a key patrol area.

But Ye Shan was very satisfied with this place, mainly because there were few ninjas stationed there, which would facilitate his subsequent infiltration into the Wind Country.

Uchiha Masato was originally on duty at the No. 7 patrol camp. He was transferred by Uchiha Fugaku to the No. 11 camp to serve as the highest captain in order to better cooperate with Ye Shan.

There is no need to elaborate on the welcoming banquet and the like. With the help of Uchiha Masato, Hayama moved into the only wooden house in the camp. As for Kakashi and Obito, they lived in a simple tent. It was so hot during the day that they sweated profusely, and the temperature dropped sharply at night that they shivered. It was completely incomparable to the comfort in the village and they suffered a lot.

The living environment was okay, but what Kakashi and Obito hated the most was the daily patrol mission. Border patrols were not the same as the perfunctory patrols outside the village, and the intensity was incomparable.

Border patrol not only requires ninjas to be on time regardless of weather conditions, but also requires them to set traps to block the enemy every day. After painstakingly setting them up in the morning, they have to remove them all when the shift is over, which really tests their patience. The most torturous thing is the problem of sleeping at night. The tents are extremely uncomfortable, and being in a dangerous place like the border, they will wake up at the slightest disturbance, and the quality of their insomnia cannot be guaranteed, resulting in them having dark circles under their eyes and feeling listless after a few days.

However, Kakashi and Obito were able to adapt well, and gradually they were able to take time out of their daily tasks to practice, and their training speed was three times faster than that of the village. The days were spent on patrolling, setting traps, and dismantling traps. It was not until half a month later that Ye Shan met the two little ones again. Before that, he had been squatting in the camp and had not shown up. After a good rest, his waist and legs were no longer sore, and he was in high spirits.
