Chapter 84 Mission

Ever since that day when they commemorated Hatake Sakumo in the Konoha Cemetery, Ye Shan has devoted himself to the mission. No matter whether it is an A-level mission or an S-level mission, there are few missions that Ye Shan would refuse.

His extremely high efficiency and completion success rate made Ye Shan a celebrity in the mission management office. Many ninjas who were confident in their strength wanted to form a mission team with him to gain experience together.

But what frustrates them is that Ye Shan keeps chatting and laughing with them with a smile on his face from beginning to end, but he just won't give in on the issue of forming a team and insists on only partnering with Yamashiro Tatsu to carry out the mission.

Ye Shan has his own plans. For him, since there is no truly effective way to gain power at this stage, he might as well demonstrate his strength in the village first.

Only by accumulating one's own reputation can one gain the trust of the people at a critical moment and thus gain a certain amount of power.

Interestingly, Ye Shan was not the only one in Konoha Village who was completing tasks. His old friend Minato Namikaze was also completing tasks at an astonishing speed. Minato Namikaze's move further strengthened Ye Shan's determination to complete tasks, indicating that this method was indeed effective. Otherwise, what tasks would Minato Namikaze personally perform?

The days passed quietly as Yeshan Man was completing missions in the Ninja Realm, and soon a year had passed.

During the 43 years of Konoha, Yeshan lost a guide like Hatake Sakumo, and also lost the guidance of his son Kakashi. If he had not had three or five good friends around him with whom he could get together from time to time, he would have really become a lonely man.

On the second day of the 44th year of Konoha, Ye Shan came to the Konoha Task Management Office early in the morning fully armed with Yamashiro Tatsu, hoping to take on another task.

"Hey, Ye Shan, you are really diligent. You started taking missions on the second day of the New Year?"

There was a hint of joy in the tone of the ninja who spoke. Ye Shan smiled slightly and said, "Isn't Lord Yamanaka also so hardworking? Compared with you who are busy with all kinds of things every day, my work is nothing."

The Yamanaka clan ninja sitting on the main seat was about forty years old. After Sarutobi Hinata was dismissed by the Third Hokage, he became the new director of the Mission Department and has been working there without any major problems until now.

Honestly speaking, the head of the Mission Department is a very important position with real power. If it weren't for Sarutobi Karakata's own incompetence, it would never have fallen to the Yamanaka clan. Although this position has little power, that is, issuing missions and settling mission rewards, it is a good place to collect various intelligence. Of course, if a ninja has a grudge against you, you can use the power in your hands to retaliate a little, as long as you do it covertly, no one will say anything.

Ye Shan naturally understood the key points of this position and had been working hard to maintain a good relationship between the two.

After looking around and finding that there were no other outsiders, Ye Shan took out a scroll from his ninja tool bag and handed it to the head of the mission department on the main seat. Of course, the several ninjas sitting on both sides had their own scrolls presented to them by Yamashiro Tatsu.

Director Yamanaka narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "You... are just too polite."

"You said we are so familiar with each other, why should I give gifts? If other people see this, they will think I am a greedy person."

Ye Shan smiled and said, "Director Yamanaka, what are you talking about? You are the senior and I am the junior. It's no big deal to send some local specialties after not seeing you for a long time. Even if the Hokage investigates, he won't find fault with it."

Director Yamanaka pointed at Ye Shan with a helpless look, looked around and saw that no one reached out to pick up the scroll on the table, then nodded with satisfaction.

"Alright, alright, take them all. They are just some local specialties. This is also a token of Ye Shan's love."

A few people put away the scrolls, and the mission hall became lively and they started chatting.

Ye Shan took out a pack of Uchiha clan's special cigarettes, the magatama pattern on the package was very conspicuous. After skillfully opening the package, Ye Shan walked around starting from the director of the mountain, and finally put the cigarettes on the desk without making a sound.

The atmosphere became more heated when a cigarette was lit, especially the special cigarettes of the Uchiha clan that were not available on the market. Even the usually serious Director Yamanaka made a few dirty jokes, which made everyone cheer.

Several people in the Task Management Office are clerical ninjas who have been dealing with words for many years. They are all heavy smokers and their addiction to smoking is much worse than Ye Shan's.

So whenever Ye Shan came, as long as there were no outsiders present, he would usually take out a cigarette to show his respect. And these people also changed from being indifferent at the beginning to being extremely enthusiastic, which made Ye Shan sigh: Smoking is harmful to the body, but sometimes you really can't live without it.

"Akagi Shohei, let Ye Shan do that task."

After finishing a cigarette, Director Yamanaka gave instructions to the ninja sitting next to him, then took out another cigarette, lit it up and put it in his pocket.

"Ye Shan, although this mission is an S-level mission, it is safe and has a short duration. The director left it to you under great pressure."

The bespectacled ninja named Akagi Shohei said with a smile after handing the mission scroll to Hayama.

There are some things that you cannot say yourself, otherwise they will lose their original effect.

Ye Shan pretended to be grateful and thanked Director Yamanaka repeatedly.

After a long time, Ye Shan walked out of the hall of the task management office with a smile on his face, intending to find a secluded place to study the task first.

Although Ye Shan was very strong and the director was weaker than him, Ye Shan still chose to maintain a good relationship with him. It had nothing to do with strength. Ye Shan simply felt that having more friends was better than having more enemies.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Ye Shan walked out of the gate, he was blocked by someone. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was the famous unruly princess of Konoha Village - Tsunade Senju.

Ye Shan's heart tightened, and he recalled the scene of himself teasing the other person in the jungle outside the village on this day last year. He cursed his bad luck and could only lower his head as much as possible, and at the same time turned to the side to make way for Tsunade.

After a gust of fragrant wind blew by, although Ye Shan did not look up, he saw two delicate white feet with nail polish walking over. He couldn't help but feel relieved and was about to take a step to hurry out of here.

"Hey!"

Just then, a crisp call made Ye Shan's heart tremble, but he did not stop, but instead quickened his pace.

However, Ye Shan's plan was doomed to fail. He hated the existence of such a convenient ninjutsu as the Flickering Technique.

"Are you calling me?" Ye Shan forced a smile and said without raising his head.

"Why don't you look up?"

"I'm ugly."

Ye Shan is not handsome, but he is not ugly either. He has an ordinary face.

"Keep your head up."

Ye Shan had no choice but to grit his teeth, slowly raised his head, and prayed that the other party had entered menopause and could not remember what he looked like.

Tsunade touched her chin with her right hand, with a thoughtful look in her eyes. For some reason, the ninja in front of her always gave her a familiar feeling, but she couldn't remember who it was.

"Have we met somewhere?"

Tsunade, who had been thinking for a long time but came up with nothing, could only ask this.

Ye Shan was relieved immediately and said with a smile: "Lady Tsunade, you are joking. What kind of intersection can there be between us?"

After all, I don't gamble...

Ye Shan only dared to say this in his heart. It would not be nice to intercept someone in front of him. If they ended up falling out, it would be a lot of trouble.

"Yeah..."

Just when Tsunade was about to give up on the somewhat suspicious ninja in front of her, Yamashiro Tatsuya walked out of the hall and saw her captain standing face to face with Tsunade-hime, one of the three ninjas. She couldn't help but feel curious.

"Captain Ye Shan, what are you doing?"

"Ye Shan? Baiyun Ye Shan?"

It would be fine if he didn't say his name, after all, Ye Shan was very low-key in the village, and with his ordinary face, many people only heard his name but didn't know what he looked like. But once he said his name, the other party would definitely recognize him...

Ye Shan couldn't help but sweat on his forehead in the winter. He looked at Tsunade with a smile on his face, still holding on to the hope that the other party was addicted to gambling and didn't know about him.

Ideals are full, but reality is skinny. It is true that Tsunade is addicted to gambling, but she is not addicted to it.

"Hehe, the only ninja in the village who currently masters Hatake Sakumo's Lightning Release technique?"

Tsunade stared at the sweaty Yeshan with a bad look, and her hands made a crackling sound.

Ye Shan complained bitterly, but he was unwilling to stay there and be beaten. If I can't beat you, can't I just hide?

Immediately, under Tsunade's angry eyes, familiar lightning jumped on Yeshan's body, and then the two of them disappeared at the same time.

Shancheng Chen stared at everything that was happening before his eyes in amazement, and it took him a long time to utter a word.

"You are so brave...Captain."
