Chapter 231 Revenge and Conversation

What Kakashi and the other two, who were immersed in sorrow, didn't know was that hundreds of Rock Ninjas had quietly surrounded the place. They stood hundreds of meters outside the deep pit in various postures, watching everything with indifference.

A perception ninja closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, then shook his head and reported: "There is no chakra fluctuation in the destroyed base pit that I am familiar with. The three of them must have all died."

The Iwagakure leader smiled coldly, waved his hand casually and said: "Then destroy this place completely and let the damn Konoha ninjas bury the three of them."

The six Rock Ninja jonin took a step forward and slammed their hands on the ground at the same time, "Earth Style: Rock Collapse!"

The earth wailed and collapsed again. Kakashi stared deeply at the remaining half of Uchiha Obito's face. The sadness in his eyes was as thick as clouds. Even though he was reluctant in his heart, he had to leave in the face of a powerful enemy. It seemed that he was as contradictory as a ninja, passionate and tragic.

When Kakashi and the other two arrived at the dense forest next to the deep pit, they were surrounded by hundreds of Rock Ninjas who were watching them eagerly, all looking at them with mocking eyes.

Kakashi reluctantly opened his tightly closed left eye, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably. His gaze was as firm as iron, and he slowly stood in front of his companions: "Lin, Xing, I am not a qualified Jonin, let alone a qualified captain. Obito has always liked you, you know..."

"How can a ninja shed tears during a mission? Come on, little brat from Konoha, we hope you won't let us down." The Iwagakure leader said nonchalantly, not taking the three people seriously at all.

"Squeak!"

The shrill chirping of birds rang out in the dense forest. Kakashi held the violent lightning in his palm. He aimed the Chidori at the enemy and whispered, "The mission has failed. I will create chaos. You take the opportunity to escape. Don't look back."

"Oh, that's some pretty good ninjutsu. You can still burst out with such a strong fighting spirit even in such a desperate situation. You're worthy of being the elite who fight deep behind enemy lines." The Iwa Ninja said with a smile.

"Chidori!"

The picture freezes at this moment, and the youth of the teenagers seems to freeze at this moment as well. Many years later, when they recall it, their eyes will still be filled with tears.

.....

A day later, Hayama, who was discussing things with Nara Shikaku and others in the Hokage's office, received the latest battle report from the front line. He was already upset and broke his favorite teacup, which was a rare loss of composure given to him by Tsunade as a gift two years ago. He always had the cup in his hand and carried it with him wherever he went.

Nara Shikaku bent down to pick up the broken pieces of the teacup and signaled the bewildered people to leave the office with his eyes: "What happened, Hokage?"

Ye Shan handed the information to the other party with an expressionless face, his tone filled with murderous intent: "I guess it's because I haven't moved my hands and feet for a long time, and those guys have forgotten the fear of being dominated. You go and make arrangements now, cancel all meetings tomorrow, I'm going to the Iwagakure Village."

Nara Shikaku unfolded the paper and read it quickly, his eyebrows tightly furrowed. No wonder Lord Hayama was so out of control. Uchiha Obito died in the battle, Yamashiro Hoshi lost his left arm, Hatake Kakashi was seriously injured and unconscious, and several people he cared about had not been seen for a few days and their faces had changed beyond recognition. Anyone would be very angry.

"I'll make arrangements right away."

Ye Shan habitually wanted to pick up the teacup to drink tea, but found nothing. His rage grew stronger, and he kicked over the heavy desk, broke the window glass and left the office.

Approving Kakashi's team to carry out a high-risk mission is one thing, but the team's failure is another. Yeshan has long disliked the Iwagakure Village, and he has been living a law-abiding life since becoming Hokage. He happens to be very depressed in his heart. Now that he is sleepy and someone offers him a pillow, Yeshan is naturally happy to accept it and vent his feelings.

As a result, Tsuchikage Koto, who was organizing people in the Land of Grass to try to gain the upper hand, received an incredible message that night. The ninjas who stayed in the village used the most urgent means of disseminating information and described in detail what had just happened.

In fact, it was nothing serious. It was just that the Tsuchikage office building was kicked to pieces by a giant last night, killing and injuring hundreds of people. As for who the culprit was, the intelligence did not mention it, but Huang Tu knew it was Bai Yunyeshan who did it with his well-developed biceps.

In the entire ninja world, who else can control a giant to fight except the Fourth Hokage Baiyun Yeshan? Huang Tu immediately issued an order for everyone to retreat, and even did not bother to continue to gather the defeated soldiers. Tens of thousands of rock ninjas fled the Grass Country in a panic. Many ninja villages were silent and strictly ordered their ninjas to go out on missions, for fear of accidentally offending the God of Death.

Based on various considerations, Yeshan chose the demonstration action. It was not that he did not want to annihilate the Iwagakure army in one fell swoop to vent his anger. In fact, once he really did this, there would be no room for maneuver.

The strength of an individual is always less than the collective strength. Ye Shan knew this clearly, so he raised it high and lowered it gently. Violence and killing can't solve any problems. It will only breed hatred and pain. The problems in the ninja world are very complicated. Doing too much is not beautiful.

The first person Kakashi saw after waking up was Yeshan. Surprise first appeared on the boy's face, followed by frustration. He felt ashamed of the trust of the Konoha Village, and even more ashamed of the teachings of Lord Yeshan. If he had not been so impulsive when encountering the enemy in the river, the outcome of everything might have been different.

"Are you awake? Are you hungry? Do you feel okay?" Ye Shan asked with concern.

Kakashi shook his head, tears streaming down his face: "Master, Obito...died, it's all my fault, there was something wrong with my command..."

Ye Shan sat solemnly on the snow-white hospital bed, picked up an apple that was rare in winter, and said while peeling it: "Things have developed to this point, it is difficult to pile all the responsibility on one person's mistake. Strictly speaking, it was us who did a bad job."

"I'm sorry Kakashi. I once dreamed of providing you with a comfortable and superior environment to grow up in, but it failed for various reasons. It was our generation that did not do well enough, which led to the outbreak of the war. Otherwise, Obito would not have died so early."

Logically, there is nothing wrong with what Ye Shan said. No one wants their comrades who are like brothers to die in the line of duty, but this is war! Whether it is a Hokage or an ordinary Genin, their lives are insignificant in front of the war machine. If you want to blame someone, blame the damn war.

"Have an apple. I remember you like apples very much." Ye Shan handed over a peeled apple, his eyes full of doting. He loved Kakashi from the bottom of his heart. Kakashi was so much like himself when he was young.

Kakashi took the apple, took a big bite without chewing, and stared at the apple in a daze.

"Obito also likes to eat apples. Last year, when we were on a mission, we passed by an apple forest. We were tired and hungry at the time, and it was the first time for us to steal other people's food. The apples at that time were sweet and crisp. It was really unforgettable."

Ye Shan stroked Kakashi's hair and said softly, "In life, people always gain little and lose a lot. You must learn to cherish what you have now. After all, Obito is gone. In the days to come, you must make good use of his relics to see the world well."

"Master, can I stay here quietly for a while?"

"Of course, you should take good care of your injuries. I want to see a lively Kakashi next time we meet. Got it?"

"Ok!"

Ye Shan slowly walked out of the ward. Uchiha Fugaku was leaning against a tree not far away, smoking a cigarette. When he saw him come out, he put out his cigarette and came towards him.

"Is Kakashi okay?"

"Thanks to Tsunade's special medicine, he barely managed to save his life, but his emotions are very unstable and he needs time to calm down."

The two walked and talked, and after a few steps, Ye Shan stopped and handed him a cigarette, then said with guilt: "Fugaku, Obito is gone, it's my fault..."

Uchiha Fugaku interrupted Ye Shan and said regretfully: "The death of a few people in a war is nothing. It is not your fault anyway. I sent them to carry out the mission. If you want to blame someone, blame me. If I had sent another team, maybe the tragedy would not have happened."

"Unfortunately, Uchiha Obito's talent is far beyond my expectations. He awakened two magatama as soon as he opened his eyes. This is unprecedented in the thousands of years of history of the Uchiha clan."

Ye Shan nodded and said, "Regarding the Sharingan, although it is against the rules, I still want to ask for it shamelessly. Since Kakashi has endured the side effects of the eye transplant, how about letting him use that eye?"

"Of course you can refuse. I know there will be many opponents in the clan. It won't be difficult to ask Tsunade to find another eye."

Uchiha Fugaku exhaled a puff of smoke, looked up at Gu Yue, and said slowly: "You don't need to worry about the Sharingan. I have already thought about it."

"Uchiha Obito is a well-deserved hero of the village and a contributor to the Uchiha clan. We cannot go against the hero's final will. That eye belongs to Hatake Kakashi. But you also know that many people in the clan are opposed to it. After Kakashi dies, I will still take back the Sharingan. I hope you can understand."

Ye Shan showed gratitude and said, "Thank you on behalf of Kakashi."

"It's too formal to talk about this between us. Without you, there would be no prosperity of the Uchiha clan today."

The two continued to walk forward, and Uchiha Fugaku asked casually: "By the way, the war is about to end completely, what are you going to do next?"

"I, the Hokage, am just a paperhanger. It's already hard enough to barely maintain the development of the village. It's time to rest and recuperate."

"Yes, the people are in a state of disarray after the successive wars, and the village does need a break. But a few days ago, I heard Minato mention that you want to vigorously develop agriculture. Is that true?"

Ye Shan did not deny it and said directly: "That's right, I not only want to develop agriculture, but also make some adjustments to the existing policies. Before you were in charge of the front-line war, I didn't have a good talk with you. Let's discuss it in detail someday."

"Although I haven't been active in the village for many years, I have received a lot of complaints. Many ninjas have clearly voted against it. I think it must be very difficult."

Ye Shan raised his eyebrows and said, "I am afraid of difficulties? What a joke! If I were afraid of difficulties, I would have died countless times. The harder the task is, the more I will do it! You have to support me. Let me be frank. The reform will damage some of the interests of the Uchiha clan, but don't worry, it won't hurt any bones."

Uchiha Fugaku stared at Ye Shan seriously, and said word by word: "We have communicated less frequently in the past few years, but you must remember that I have always supported you, and I will not regret it even if the result proves that I am wrong."

"Hahahaha" Ye Shan laughed happily: "Fugaku, you know, your situation can be described with a word you have never heard of."

"Oh? Tell me about it." Uchiha Fugaku said with great interest.

"Put your ear close to me, I'm only talking to you." Ye Shan looked around and said when he saw no one else was around.

Uchiha Fugaku came forward, and after a moment, Ye Shan walked away laughing, leaving him alone mumbling, "What is a good friend? Is it a new word to describe friendship? I'll ask Uchiha Seiji to find out later. It's not good to be unable to keep up with the trends of young people when you're old."

"Hey, wait for me, why are you walking so fast?"

The two of them walked away arm in arm, just as intimate as they were when they were young on the battlefield.

Not long after, the two arrived at the sanatorium built by Konoha on the front line. Unlike where Kakashi was staying, this place was specially responsible for accommodating some ninjas who were not seriously injured. Yamashiro Star was here.

When Ye Shan pushed open the half-open door, he found the ward was pitch black. He could only see a blurry figure sitting on the bed. He was stunned.

"Who?"

"It's me, Baiyun Yeshan."

"pat"

The bedside lamp was turned on, and Yamashiro Hoshi's face was pale. For some reason, he was still wearing the Konoha standard vest, but his left arm was empty, which made Ye Shan's heart suddenly tighten.

"Lord Hokage is here, please take a seat." Yamashiro Xing said with a forced smile.

Ye Shan walked slowly forward, pulled over a chair and sat opposite the girl, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

"You don't have to be like this, sir. Compared to Obito, I'm still alive, isn't it good enough?"

"do you hate me?"

"I neither hate nor hate. This is the path I chose. Whether it was my brother back then or me now, it's all the same." Shan Chengxing curled up in a ball with one hand around his knees, which made people feel particularly distressed.

Ye Shan hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's been a long time since Chen's incident. It doesn't matter who is right or wrong. But you are his only sister. It is my responsibility that you have become like this. You have reason to hate me."

"If you don't refuse, I want to take you as my sister. I haven't had a sister in my two lifetimes combined."

Shanchengxing raised her head and looked at Ye Shan. This was the first time she showed her face and said softly, "No need. I don't want to change the relationship between us."

Ye Shan was puzzled. There was no relationship between them now. At best, they were just familiar strangers. "Why? How nice it would be to be my sister. I could take care of you legitimately, find you a good husband, and live a glorious life..."

"Stop talking," the girl said hurriedly. For some reason, her face flushed and she seemed to have difficulty speaking. "I don't want to be your sister. Let's end this topic here."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. You should have a good rest. It's getting late. I'll come to see you tomorrow." Ye Shan stood up and slowly left the room under the girl's gaze.

The bedside lamp was turned off, and Shancheng Xing was lying on the bed with his right hand on his forehead, thinking deeply.
