Chapter 19 Return to Camp

The change of power is bound to cause a collision between the old and new groups, and in this collision a group of heroes will emerge, as well as a group of cowards, just like a towering tree, which has leaves bathed in the sun and roots that are rooted underground and embrace the darkness.

Ye Shan, who is in the tide of the times, can only watch this group of people stir up trouble. His only wish is not to be used as a pawn for exchanging interests, nothing more.

Ye Shan, who was thinking about something along the way, came to the inpatient department of Konoha Hospital. Before he pushed the door open, a burst of cheerful laughter came out.

"Haha, let me tell you, Ye Shan was very strange when he was little. He never cried or made a fuss, and he even rarely wet the bed. He was very sensible."

Listening to his mother's undisguised praise, Ye Shan smiled. His happiness was so simple, as long as his mother was happy he was happy, but the following words made him blush.

"One time I took him to take a bath. He was only two years old at that time. He refused to get out of the bath and insisted on going to the sauna. He stayed there for several hours and almost got steamed to death before he came out. Since then, he has been asking me to take him to take a bath every few days. He is so cute and clean."

Ye Shan: I didn't, don't talk nonsense, or I will sue you for defamation...

Ye Shan, who was afraid that his own mother would reveal something else, pushed the door open and walked in. He raised the glutinous rice balls in his hand and said with a smile: "Mom, I brought your favorite meatballs, and the aunts also..."

Ye Shan's voice became smaller and smaller. The scene in the room made him put his hands behind his back unconsciously, and he could no longer say what he wanted to say.

I saw five people sitting on the ground, with a steaming hot pot in the middle of them, surrounded by all kinds of dishes and even two bottles of sake...

Meanwhile, her own mother no longer felt any pain in her waist or legs, and was putting meat into Chixia's bowl.

Ye's mother looked up at Ye Shan, then lowered her head to pick up food for Qian Xia, ignoring him. Qian Xia cutely stuck out her tongue at Ye Shan, but ignored her and just told others to eat.

Ye Shan: WDNMD (0.0)

It was the aunt who always boasted about how awesome her relatives were who waved to him and asked him to sit down and eat with her, thus easing Ye Shan's embarrassment.

Ye's mother snorted coldly and asked, "Where did you go to fool around tonight?"

"I had a meal with a friend, and then I came to accompany you after the meal." Ye Shan explained weakly.

"No drinking?"

"Not a drop of wine."

"Then drink this bottle before eating."

"Okay... huh?" Ye Shan looked at his biological mother in confusion, suspecting that she had drunk fake wine. He was not yet an adult, so how could he drink alcohol...

"Mom, I'm only 15 years old and can't drink." Ye Shan looked at his mother aggrievedly.

"What the hell, fifteen years old! You're already sixteen!"

"......"

Seeing that Ye Shan was in trouble, Chinatsu hurried over to help him out, so he didn't have to drink.

After cleaning up the leftovers, Ye Shan fed his mother her daily medicine. After she fell asleep, he quietly left the room and prepared to go home to sleep.

After returning home, Ye Shan grabbed Chinatsu who was about to go upstairs and handed her a stack of money, all of which were large denomination bills of 10,000 taels.

"What are you going to do?" Chinatsu looked at Ye Shan warily, with one hand quietly protecting her chest.

Ye Shan glanced at the fried egg and his cheeks twitched a few times. Who are you talking to, brother? I'm not that kind of person!

"This is your living expenses. What are you thinking about?"

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be so generous." Taking the money happily, Chinatsu suddenly felt that Ye Shan was actually a little handsome!

After using his money ability, Ye Shan thought for a while before speaking: "When you are free, go to the hospital to accompany my mother. She seems to like you very much."

"Hehe, got it. Don't worry, Yeshan." After saying that, Chinatsu trotted back to the room. Yeshan knew without thinking that she was in a hurry to go back and count the money.

Shaking his head, Ye Shan returned to his room and went to bed early.

Early the next morning, Ye Shan, neatly dressed, came to the gate, handed in his documents for leaving the village, and ran towards the border defense camp.

This trip to the Frost Country benefited Ye Shan a lot, temporarily solving his lack of ninjutsu. From the ignorant old man, he obtained two ninjutsu, one is Earth Style: Ant Hell, and the other is Fire Style: Fire Dragon Flame Bomb, both of which are extremely lethal attribute ninjutsu. The range of Fire Dragon Flame Bomb exceeds that of Ant Hell, but in terms of precision killing ability, it is not comparable. With these two ninjutsu, Ye Shan's strength can be improved a lot, and his combat system can also be supplemented. It is just around the corner for him to become a ninja with both offensive and defensive capabilities.

Thinking of this, Ye Shan quickened his pace. He was a steady man who couldn't wait to start a new training. As for the war that was about to take place in the Rain Country, as long as he was not involved, he didn't care much about the outcome.

............

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, another half a year has passed. Now it is July of the 39th year of the Konoha calendar.

In the past six months, the three members of Ye Shan's team have traveled to every corner of the 400-kilometer border without any fighting. On this day, after taking a break, Ye Shan received a B-level patrol mission as usual and walked out of the mission office.

Outside the mission office, Yamashiro Tatsu and Yamanaka Yuura were chatting. When they saw Ye Shan coming out, they stopped chatting and the three of them walked towards the exit of the camp in silence.

After arriving at a secluded place outside the camp, Ye Shan spoke up: "Same old, it's still a patrol mission, this time we're heading to area E."

Shancheng Chen did not show any surprise. The mission of the border defense force was just like that. It was simple but it could hone one's character. He looked at his captain. He had grown a lot taller in the past six months. He was almost as tall as him. His ordinary face was full of determination. It was totally unrecognizable that he was a 15-year-old.

Seeing that the two team members had nothing to say, Ye Shan thought for a moment and reminded them: "There has been a lot of movement on the front line of the Rain Country recently. I estimate that the decisive battle will take place in the next few days. No matter what the result is, we must prepare for the worst."

Yamanaka Yuura frowned and said, "Beware of the infiltration of small groups of enemies?"

Ye Shan looked at her with praise. After half a year of patrolling, he clearly noticed the changes in her. She no longer complained about her family or the team arranged by the village. She began to practice actively and fulfilled her duties as a team member, which made him extremely satisfied.

"Yes, I think if Konoha is defeated again, the Sand Village will most likely occupy the Rain Country and use it as a springboard to attack the Fire Country."

The two who knew more or less the inside story nodded slowly and agreed with Ye Shan's statement. In wartime, it is never too cautious. After all, you only have one life, and if you lose it, you will really lose everything.

With a brief and powerful "departure", the three of them once again set out on the familiar road and began a one-month patrol mission.

While the Yeshan team was on a mission, in a village in the central part of the Rain Country, the battle had just ended, and the blood splattered all around and the destroyed houses silently told of the tragedy. Uchiha Fugaku didn't care about the mud on the ground, he lay down in a mess, gasping for breath, letting the rain pour on his face.

Thinking back to the decisive battle that took place a few days ago, he still couldn't figure out how the elite Sand Ninjas had quietly gone around to the rear of the army and established the advantage in one fell swoop. Uchiha Fugaku closed his eyes in pain. Although he was unwilling to admit it, the bloody facts told him that it was probably the work of the Third Hokage and his gang!

They lost, all of them. The Senju and Uchiha not only lost on the battlefield, but also lost to their political enemies who believed in them. They underestimated the madness of that group of people and the hysteria brought about by power!

Fuck the will of fire, fuck the trust in companions, and fuck everything done for the village. In the face of the temptation of power, these are all stinking shit that only disgusts people.

Uchiha Fugaku took a breath, endured the discomfort, called a few Konoha ninjas he met on the road, and continued to move towards the Land of Fire. He didn't know if he could go back alive, but the instinct for survival urged him to keep struggling, struggling to escape from the Land of Rain.

Silence returned to the village. The blood quickly dissipated under the washing of rain. Only a few corpses lay there exposed, enduring the wind and rain like weeds.

At night, a team of Sand Ninjas came here like sharks smelling blood. They looked quietly at several corpses that died in terrible ways, without a trace of emotion on their faces.

After a while, the leader waved his hand, and several people disappeared on the spot. The direction they were chasing was the direction Uchiha Fugaku escaped.

Ye Shan, who was unaware of what was happening in the Rain Country, was on patrol. Border patrol missions were different from regular wartime patrols. The vast area required patrol ninjas to run back and forth non-stop to complete the task. However, patrolling alone would be very dangerous if they encountered an enemy, so Ye Shan, who was short of members in the team, had no choice but to arrange a team of two to carry out the mission. To be honest, patrolling for at least a dozen hours a day was indeed tedious, but it could also greatly hone one's character and improve chakra control ability.

That night, Ye Shan finished writing his mission log as usual, had a simple meal, and walked out of the resting place, preparing to go to the rendezvous point to change shifts. Having lived on the battlefield for many years, he had become accustomed to this high-intensity state. A few hours of sleep swept away his physical fatigue, and he was full of energy.

After a while, Ye Shan arrived at the meeting point and waited for the arrival of the team members.

The night was very dark tonight. A large dark cloud had covered the moon at some point, leaving no light at all around. Ye Shan estimated the time in his mind and gradually became uneasy.

Just then, Ye Shan heard footsteps and was startled. He quickly hid in the darkness, took out a kunai, and narrowed his eyes dangerously, like a hunting cheetah, ready to launch a fatal attack at any time.
