Chapter 201 Reality

Two hours later, Uchiha Keiji announced the battle plan. Unexpectedly, everyone accepted it calmly, which surprised him a little.

In fact, Uchiha Keiji underestimated Ye Shan's influence in the Uchiha clan, or he underestimated the influence brought by Ye Shan's personal charm.

The Uchiha clan, which has been passed down for thousands of years, has its own cultural heritage. They not only respect the strong, but also respect the ninjas who value friendship and loyalty. The outside world generally believes that the Uchiha clan ninjas are cold, gloomy and dark, but the emotions hidden in their hearts are just the opposite. Once they are recognized, they will follow them without reason. This played a big role in Uchiha Madara's ability to lead his clan members to establish the Konoha Ninja Village.

Ye Shan struggled to rise from the bottom, and possessed the characteristics of a strong man. Then, when the situation was complicated, he resolutely ran for Hatake Sakumo, and anyone would have to give him a thumbs up and say that he was true to his nature. Therefore, the ninjas of the Uchiha clan were willing to fight for such a companion, not to mention that Ye Shan now had the right to speak comparable to that of the executive deputy clan leader. Only a fool would refuse the opportunity to show his ability.

Uchiha Keiji nodded with satisfaction: "Then, you have three minutes to form a team freely. Once the target is confirmed, you must report by radio as soon as possible."

Everyone chose their teammates silently. The whole process was quick and efficient. Then, still without saying a word, they entered the forest and headed towards the direction of Kikyo City.

"Hizu, follow my lead."

Hinata Hiashi took out a forehead protector and tied it around his forehead, then followed closely behind Uchiha Keiji, and the two of them also started their mission.

The mission went so smoothly that it was astonishing. Before dawn, Uchiha Keiji stood in front of the tree hole where Ye Shan was hiding. Looking at the unconscious Ye Shan, he realized the cruelty of the battle.

Ye Shan, who was usually neatly dressed, was now naked, with a horrible scar on his waist. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, Uchiha Keiji would have thought he was dead.

Uchiha Keiji squatted down, used his right hand to pry open Yeshan's eyelids, and after confirming with the faint light of the flashlight that his pupils had not dilated, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mission accomplished. Order everyone to retreat in an orderly manner. Also send a fast ninja back to the village to ask Lady Tsunade to come. We will rendezvous at the border stronghold."

Dozens of people gathered near the tree hole quickly conveyed the order after hearing it. Then they built a stretcher with branches and clothes and carefully lifted Ye Shan up.

Soon, there was chaos at the border outpost on the easternmost side of the forest. All medical ninjas were invited to the headquarters tent. Their task was to ensure that Ye Shan's vital signs were stable while providing as much treatment as possible.

The person in charge of the stronghold was a ninja from the Sarutobi clan, about forty years old, who was being questioned at this time.

Uchiha Keiji's spit flew onto Sarutobi's face, but he didn't dare to wipe it off. He sat in the chair in silence, repeating the same sentence over and over again: "Without the Hokage's written order, no soldier in the base may be transferred to a distant place without permission."

"Bullshit!" Uchiha Keiji's long suppressed emotions burst out, and he spoke without mercy: "Don't talk to me about the Hokage documents. As the commander of the front line, you have the responsibility and obligation to send a ninja team to support them!"

"Do you really think I don't know your little thoughts? You just want Ye Shan to die in Kikyo City."

"You are heartbroken. You are as weak as an ant in treating the lives of your companions. You have seriously neglected your duties as a commander. I will report this to my superiors!"

Uchiha Keiji's eyes turned red as he thought of Ye Shan, who was full of tubes. His intestines were cut off and one kidney was lost. It was undoubtedly a fatal injury! He couldn't believe that someone could survive with such serious damage to his body. He didn't want to imagine what kind of cruel fight Ye Shan had gone through. He only knew that someone had blatantly neglected his duty!

"Ye Shanben was not the person in charge of Kikyo Castle. He had absolutely legitimate reasons to return to the village as soon as possible, but did he do it?" Uchiha Keiji roared, releasing his anger wantonly.

"No! Ye Shan did not retreat but advanced. He volunteered to go to Kikyo Castle to take on the attack from the Sand Village."

"But what about you? You actually stayed in the camp and slept peacefully!? How did you manage to sleep?"

"You shout the will of fire, but secretly go against it. How is your behavior different from betraying the village?"

But no matter how Uchiha Keiji condemned them, the Sarutobi clan ninjas still ignored them, and even showed impatience on their faces, which made many of them furious. They clenched their weapons in their hands, just waiting for the order to take action.

"It's easy for Lord Keiji to say that. He just opened and closed his lips and criticized me as a commander. But I want you to know that the duty of the border outpost is to resist foreign invasion, not to support Kikyo Castle!"

"If you don't like it, you can just kill me! Then the village rules and national laws will not tolerate you!"

Uchiha Keiji's eyes widened, and as the three magatama appeared, he formed a seal with his hands: "Do you really think I don't dare?"

Hinata Hiashi, who had been talking, stepped out in time to stop him and said, "Sir, please calm down. The most urgent thing is to save Master Yeshan. If there is anything else, we can talk about it when we return to the village."

Uchiha Keiji gritted his teeth and said: "It is an insult to the first generation that the village has such a ninja in power!"

The ninjas were silent. They had their own scale in their hearts, a scale to measure human nature.

As the two sides confronted each other, a medical ninja rushed in and said, "Master Yeshan is awake!"

Uchiha Keiji was delighted, snorted coldly, stood up and left the tent, and walked out quickly. When he arrived at the command tent, he saw the extremely weak Ye Shan at first sight, and couldn't help but said uncomfortably: "Brother Ye Shan, you have suffered."

Ye Shan, who was lying on the bed, had a respirator on his mouth. He couldn't and didn't have the strength to speak. When he saw that the person coming was Uchiha Keiji, he nodded slightly and stared at the other person with lifeless eyes.

"Get out of the way!" Uchiha Keiji roughly pushed away the guards guarding the bed, grabbed Ye Shan's hand full of needle holes and said, "Brother, I'm late!"

Ye Shan's breathing was a little heavy. It would be a lie to say that he was not touched, but he could only squeeze the other person's hand tightly because he could not speak. He realized that his physical condition was very bad and he was in unbearable pain all over his body, but he knew that he had survived from the gates of hell.

As if he could see what Ye Shan wanted to say, Uchiha Keiji took out a pen and paper from his ninja tool bag and said gently, "Write it down."

Ye Shan struggled to pick up a pencil that was an inch long and wrote a word with great effort.

Uchiha Keiji understood immediately and said hurriedly: "Uchiha Obito is currently on his way back to the village, and so is Hatake Kakashi. They are safe, you don't need to worry."

Ye Shan blinked to indicate that he understood, and wrote the word "rice", which means food.

"Hahahaha" Uchiha Keiji laughed out loud, feeling extremely happy. A wounded soldier knew he needed to eat, which proved that he was no longer in danger. "Don't worry, brother. You can't eat now, otherwise you will poop as much as you eat."

"But don't worry, when you recover, I'll treat you to a meal at the best restaurant in the village for three days and three nights!"

Ye Shan blinked rapidly several times, obviously looking forward to it very much.

It can only be said that Yeshan has gotten rid of vulgar interests but not completely. According to the medical ninjas' assumptions, a big shot like him should have his family, country and the world as the first thing he considers after waking up. How come both things are related to himself?

Little do people know that no matter how great a ninja is, he still needs to eat, drink, defecate and urinate. The worldly life is the true portrayal of this. After all, only people cook rice, not humans cook the principles.

As for what happened to Kikyo Castle and the village, Ye Shan didn't really care, because he knew with his butt that it wouldn't be good.
