Chapter 357 Finale

At night, the skyscrapers in the former Muye Ninja Village and the new city are particularly charming under the shining neon lights. People coming and going are laughing and talking in the streets and alleys. The whole city is immersed in technological leaps and happy life.

"Hey, have you heard that the Fourth Hokage came to Xinyu City for inspection a few days ago and even went to see the university campus." A middle-aged man with a red nose said mysteriously, and picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth to chew.

"Tsk, your information is outdated. I saw Lord Ye Shan himself on Ye Shan Street this morning. He seemed to be a little older than in previous years."

"It's normal. Master Yeshan was born in Konoha more than 20 years ago. If you count with your fingers, you are in your 50s and will soon be 60."

"Yes, yes, Naruto has become Hokage, and the eighth one. Time has passed so fast."

"You are using an outdated almanac calculation. The title was changed to Chairman more than ten years ago."

A few people took advantage of the night to drink and chat in the pub, not noticing that the person they were talking about was sitting by the window on the second floor.

There were many wrinkles on Ye Shan's face, and the front half of his hair was almost completely white. Only his eyes were still sharp.

Due to the busy business at night, the serving speed was slow. At this time, there was only a plate of sausages, a plate of salted peanuts and a plate of braised beef in front of Ye Shan. None of the hot dishes had been served yet, but it did not stop him from drinking with relish.

Suddenly, a young man in law enforcement uniform ran up the stairs panting and whispered something in Ye Shan's ear, causing the latter's interested expression to dim.

"Brother Keiji has finally come to this point..."

Ye Shan stood up and went downstairs, handing a new-style banknote with a face value of one hundred to the shop owner: "Sorry, I have something urgent to go back, I don't want the hot food."

The shop owner frowned and wanted to complain, but swallowed his anger when he saw the law enforcement officers standing opposite him. Fortunately, the business in the shop was good and the dishes could be sold to other customers.

The noisy store became quiet. The boss stretched his neck curiously to take a look, but was frightened by a sudden scream.

"Wow, was that person just now Lord Yeshan?!"

"It must be Lord Ye Shan!"

"Master Yeshan is so handsome!"

"hehe..."

The shop owner was stunned. He was a native of Yu Country. Later he left his hometown and came here to work. He finally saved up some capital to open a small shop. He didn't expect to meet such a big shot.

"Clap"

The shop owner slapped himself twice in the face under the gaze of many customers: "Hey, what's the big deal about me taking his money? Damn it."

"You are a fool who doesn't know a pearl. Lord Ye Shan's appearance is unique everywhere, especially his eyes, which are exactly two."

"Haha, if you had dared to say that decades ago, you would have been invited for tea."

"Well, times have changed. We are the masters now."

"My dad~"

"roll!"

Ye Shan hurried to the former Uchiha clan site, where Magatama's high-end residential complex now stands, suppressing his pent-up emotions, and when he saw Uchiha Keiji lying on his back on the hospital bed, his nose quickly counted.

Uchiha Keiji is already at the end of his life. He was born in the first year of Konoha and is now eighty years old. Although he has taken a lot of health measures and supplements over the years, the hidden dangers he suffered on the battlefield when he was young are still like a maggot attached to his bones that is difficult to remove.

"You came?"

Ye Shan stepped forward, held Keiji's hand full of needle holes, and said in a deep voice: "I'm here."

"Everyone else please go out first. I have something to say to Ye Shan."

The room soon became quiet. Uchiha Keiji's cloudy eyes turned slightly and looked at the head of the bed, motioning Ye Shan to open the box.

Ye Shan solemnly opened the red-painted wooden box, but saw only a bank card inside.

"This is my savings over the years, a total of 500 million Singapore dollars."

Ye Shan was moved. His monthly pension was only 6,000 Singapore dollars, and he would never be able to save up that much money in his lifetime.

Uchiha Keiji smiled with difficulty: "I know you are honest and you don't take a penny you shouldn't take. We have lived a tight life these years. But it's okay for us to suffer a little, but we can't let the children suffer."

"Shanchen and Shanxing are both money-eating beasts. They can't be supported by your pension. The housing prices in Xinzheng City are so high now. You should also consider buying a house for your children."

"I can't take this money." Ye Shan shook his head and refused.

"Take it," Uchiha Keiji coughed and said, "There's no need to be polite between you and me. Just remember to burn more paper for me."

Ye Shan groaned: "I will set up a scholarship fund in your name to help poor students."

Uchiha Keiji rolled his cloudy eyes and said with emotion: "It's worthy of you, Ye Shan."

“Sometimes I wonder, do you really belong to this era?”

"Ye Shan, I don't think you belong to this era, at least your thoughts don't. The limitations of the times are not reflected in you at all, but you are obviously a native of Konoha, and you have been educated in the Will of Fire."

Ye Shan smiled and said softly: "Brother, don't make blind guesses now that it has come to this. If you have any unfulfilled wishes or concerns, tell me. I will definitely help you if I can."

"For a rich man, I don't have any unfulfilled wishes. You know, money can make the world go round."

"..."

Uchiha Keiji blinked: "After I die, can I be buried in the Hokage Cemetery?"

Ye Shan hesitated and said, "Yes!"

"After I die, can I be buried with state honors?"

Ye Shan gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"

"Would you like to give me a title?"

Teeth gnashing: "If the official one doesn't work, the people will make one up for you."

Uchiha Keiji tried to smile: "Just make do with it."

The room was silent, with only the sounds of two breathings, one big and one small.

After a long, long time, Uchiha Keiji suddenly turned his head and looked at the door, with a strange smile on his face: "Ye Shan, I'm leaving."

"Ah."

"I saw my father, mother and brothers coming to pick me up. Hehe, I'm so happy."

After saying this, the former Deputy Hokage, who witnessed the rise and fall of Konoha Ninja Village and the demise of the ninja clan, slowly closed his eyes.

"Damn it, this is enough for my life."

Yeshan's heart was broken. Last year he saw off the seriously ill Uchiha Keiji, and eleven years ago he saw off the young Uchiha Itachi. His old friends were gradually fading away, just like his aging body.

The space beside the bed fluctuated and Namikaze Minato appeared, with his son Uzumaki Naruto standing beside him, now the Eighth Hokage and the first co-chairman.

Time has passed mercilessly, making the once plump and jade-like water gate old, and its straight back has bent unknowingly.

"Once brother Keiji left, only the two of us are left in the new policy team." Minato said sadly.

"Naruto is here? You are in charge now. You can handle Keiji's affairs after his death."

Naruto wore a white shirt, an old watch on his wrist, and his hair was parted in a 3:7 style. He looked mature and reassuring. "Don't worry, everything will be done according to the rules."

Minato slapped Naruto on the back, "What rules should we follow? The Hokage rules or the Jonin rules? Let me tell you, Naruto, even though brother Keiji is not the Hokage, it's just that he is not upright enough. His funeral must be dignified."

Ye Shan had a deadpan expression: "Naruto is right, the country has its own laws and the family has its own rules. Keiji's funeral should be held according to the rules. We can't break the rules because of personal feelings."

"But..."

Ye Shan waved his hand: "Okay, it's useless to do those nonsense when the person is dead. When I die in the future, you can just burn it and save money."

"Now is a new era, so there are naturally new rules and new ideas. We are all old, so we should not meddle in the affairs of young people. Shuimen, when you have time, come and go fishing with me. Don't stay at home bored."

Yeshan rejected Naruto's invitation, left Uchiha Keiji's house, and went towards the Nanga River alone.

The Nanga River was designated as the mother river in the Land of Fire in the 61st year of the Konoha calendar. The series of agricultural and industrial areas along the river have made environmental problems imminent, but the section of the river that stretches for more than 50 kilometers in the Konoha Ninja Village has been protected, which is both a respect for history and a reverence.

Ye Shan came, sat beside a small grave, and burned paper money carefully.

The paper money was not neatly wrapped. Ye Shan drew and folded them one by one by himself. After all, some money in the world of the living was real, and some was fake, and there was no news of counterfeit money in the underworld.

"Chen, are you okay over there? Just bear with me for a while and I'll go down to find you. Then we can have a drink and chat happily."

Ye Shan kept on talking as if he had endless things to say.

"I almost forgot that you don't drink, like a woman. You also advised me not to drink, saying that it affects my IQ. I was thinking, aren't you also a big fool if you drink, so stupid that you would die for others."

"I have done what I promised you. Your mother died at the age of 83 without suffering. Your sister is my wife. We have a son and a daughter. The daughter's surname is Shancheng. I will find her a live-in son-in-law. I will consider your family's future a happy one."

"Also, the age of ninjas has ended..."

Ye Shan lit a cigarette and sighed, "I opened the song of the end with my own hands. The sufferings that my generation has endured will no longer happen to future generations. In order to completely eliminate the meaningless wars between ninjas, I eliminated the profession of ninja."

"Now, there are not many combat ninjas, chakra has been widely used in production and life, and the ninja world has been integrated into a country. War has temporarily disappeared."

"If you were reincarnated now, you would have a happy family, a comfortable childhood, and no longer have to fight with knives."

Ye Shan talked a lot and didn't leave until the sun rose in the east.

.......

Eleven years passed in a hurry, and the new chairman was Gaara, who was originally from the Wind Country. At this point, the ninjas and people from the five major countries and small countries completely put aside their grudges and perfectly integrated into the new country and new system.

The intensive care unit of the hospital was full of people, and they were big shots who could shake three times if they stomped their feet. There was only one reason why they all put down their work and rushed here - the successor to the will of fire, the pioneer of new policy ideas, the initiator of new policy reforms, the former fourth-generation Hokage of Konoha Ninja Village, the former number one in the Land of Fire, the former number one in the ninja world, the master of attributeless property changes - Baiyun Yeshan has finally come to the end of his life.

But even though such an old patient was lying in bed unable to move, his eyes were still sharp, as if he could see through people's hearts.

Uchiha Sasuke, Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Tokuken, Uchiha Tokuron, Uchiha San, Uchiha Feng and other Uchiha clan politicians had grief on their faces. They knew clearly that once the old man in front of them passed away, the Uchiha clan would no longer have the support they could rely on. In other words, the blessings of their ancestors were gone, and they could only rely on themselves.

There was sadness in the eyes of Minato Namikaze and Naruto Uzumaki, as they would witness the end of the legend with their own eyes.

Ye Shan opened his eyes and saw many familiar faces appearing in the ward. A few smiles flashed across his face. He waved his hands with great effort: "Keiji, Fugaku, why are you two standing so far away? Come over here and let's talk."

As soon as these words were spoken, the grief in the ward became even greater. They knew clearly that this was just a revolving lantern, a fantasy before death.

"Hey, Tsunade, why do you look younger and wear glasses? Why are you pretending to be an intellectual?"

"Danzo, can you please stop squinting at people like me? It lowers our squinty image."

"Sarutobi Hiruzen, didn't you lose your head? You're still smoking Hanako."

"Sakumo, you still have the mood to watch TV series. Your son's eyes are almost dead. Fortunately, I am here to protect him."

Ten minutes later, the light in Ye Shan's eyes gradually extinguished. He ended his fantasy and returned to reality. He took Minato's hand and said, "Take care of this house."

Minato nodded vigorously, his eyes red.

"I'm so tired I'm going to sleep."

The legend ends.

.......

In the 114th year of the Konoha calendar, humans finally defeated the alien Otsutsuki clan and defended the dignity of humanity with their blood and efforts.

In order to prevent the Otsutsuki clan from making a comeback, it was decided by vote to restart the combat ninja training program, which aims to improve human combat effectiveness and increase resistance to foreign invasions.

However, due to the demoralization of the people and the sharp social contradictions, a large number of ninjutsu scrolls were leaked, and the people in the society who mastered chakras had made great progress in their practice, which led to constant rebellions. The coalition government was powerless to save the country and it fell into chaos again.

Later, after the fierce battle of Uzumaki Naruto's grandson, Uzumaki Takato, the world became a country again. In order to commemorate Baiyun Yeshan, Uzumaki Takato named it the Kingdom of Leaves, which lasted for 500 years.

Five hundred years later, the war broke out again and was ended by the descendants of the Uchiha clan, who established the Mountain Country and lasted for another four hundred years.

Over and over again, war and chaos will never be completely eliminated, they are just temporarily invisible. Once the malice in people's hearts reaches a threshold, they will still wreak havoc on the world.

But people in later generations will always remember that thousands of years ago there was a figure who created the world. With a tough attitude, he ended the division and separatism, ended the ninja era, and opened the era of technology and development.

His name is Baiyunyeshan, which means the mountain of wooden leaves.
