In the forty-two years of Konoha, Hayama once swore in the ancestral hall of the Hatake clan that he would wash away the rumors left by that man in his lifetime. Over the years, he has not dared to forget it for a moment, and even indirectly killed someone for his oath.

Yamashiro Chen.

At the Jonin Conference three months ago, Hayama's words of Jedi counterattack successfully forced the village to make concessions on what happened to Hatake Sakumo, recognize his achievements, promote his bravery, and use the power of an ordinary ninja to

Reburied with the highest standards.

Hayama was filled with joy and naively believed that Hatake Sakumo's reputation would be put to rest and he would go down in history as a great ninja, leaving a model for future generations to learn from.

But everything changed at the Nanhe River. What Hayama did did not have any effect. God seemed to be mocking him, prompting Kakashi to say those words that made him heartbroken.

"Those who do not follow the rules and give up their mission are not worthy of being called ninjas."

This sentence not only denies Hatake Sakumo's heroic and great life, but also denies Raihayama's several years of hard work and denies Yamashiro Tatsu's life.

The old vows still echoed in his ears, like a slap in the face, which made Ye Shan feel dizzy and eyes flashing with stars.

Why would someone be able to deny everything about another person in just one sentence? And why would a child slander his father?

Ye Shan first felt boundless guilt in his heart, followed by overwhelming murderous intent.

Hatake Sakumo is dead, but there are still people secretly slandering him. Could it be that in the eyes of some people, only ninjas from the Hokage line are considered ninjas?

Hayama finally realized that he could destroy the enemy's body through force, and he could also force the enemy to do something against his will through strategy, but he could not change the views in people's hearts.

The prejudice in people's hearts is like a big mountain. This mountain can't be seen or touched, but still, Hatake Sakumo can't turn over, and Hayama can't breathe under the pressure.

After a long time, Ye Shan sighed, suppressed the mixed emotions in his heart, and asked softly: "Where is the old servant at home?"

Logically speaking, with that loyal old servant here, Kakashi would not blame his father.

"Dead."

Indifferent words came from a child's mouth without any emotion.

Ye Shan suddenly realized that everything became reasonable, and asked again: "How have you been in the past two years?"

After thinking about it, this sentence may be a little difficult for the young Kakashi to understand, so he changed the question: "How is the food? How is the living?"

“I don’t have enough money to eat well, and I live in a small house in the suburbs.”

Kakashi's voice fluctuated a little, and then he raised his head and asked loudly: "Why did you come to ask me these questions today? Why? Aren't you the heir he chose?"

"Do you know how I have lived these two years? You don't know anything!"

"You have never cared about me since he died!"

Hayama's face was full of guilt. He knelt down pitifully, touched Kakashi's hair, and said softly: "It's my fault. I really didn't expect that old servant to die. I will take care of you from now on."

Kakashi stubbornly opened Hayama's hand and said, "No, I'm living a good life now and I don't need anyone to take care of me anymore."

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

After that, Kakashi looked at the fish covered with soil, and walked away with confusion in his eyes.

Hayama quickly picked up the fish and followed it without even bothering to put on his clothes. No matter how bad Kakashi did, or how bad he said about Hatake Sakumo, Hayama would not really blame him.

Speaking of that incident, the victim was definitely the young Kakashi, leaving him with wounds that could not be healed.

The two walked in tandem for a long time, passing through a large farmland and a dilapidated dirt street before arriving at a small house.

Although the house is small, it looks clean and tidy from the outside. There is an old shoe rack placed outside the door. Hayama recognized it at a glance as an object that Hatake Sakumo had used.

Kakashi took off his shoes outside the door, arranged them neatly, opened the door and walked in, then closed the door without any intention of letting Hayama in.

Hayama smiled nonchalantly. Not only was he not angry, but he was happy. The angry behavior of a child like Kakashi proved that he has not truly matured yet and there is still room for things to turn around.

After looking around and observing, Hayama came to a small window, stood on tiptoe and looked inside, but he didn't expect Kakashi's face to appear in front of him.

"What do you want to do?"

Ye Shan smiled awkwardly, raised the fish in his hand and said, "I'll give you the fish."

Kakashi swallowed, but pretended to be indifferent and said: "No need, I don't like fish."

"You are not welcome here, please leave."

Ye Shan put the fish on the window, took a few steps back, and said softly: "Put less condiments, drink more soup, and I will come find you tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Ye Shan turned around and left.

Haste makes waste, especially when it comes to resolving knots. Hayama's previous idea was to find an opportunity to give the ninjutsu scroll to Kakashi and let him practice it himself. After all, Kakashi is now nominally a wave feng shui master.

As a disciple of the sect, it is not easy for him to interfere in cultivation matters. But now it seems that Kakashi's problem is not cultivation at all, but a psychological problem.

Psychological problems are very difficult, and Ye Shan has little experience in dealing with them, so he needs to take a long-term approach.

As he was walking back, the sound of several children playing around reached his ears. Ye Shan's eyes lit up, and an idea came to his mind.

.......

That night, at the banquet at Uchiha Keiji's house, Uchiha Fugaku was naturally among them.

The dishes at the banquet were very rich, and Hayama had no intention of tasting them. After eating a few hastily, he grabbed the corner of Uchiha Fugaku's clothes beside him and asked in a low voice: "Before, you wanted me to give you advice on the training of a child called Obito.

This sentence still doesn’t count now.”

Uchiha Fugaku was stunned, not knowing what Hayama meant by mentioning it at this time, and said: "Naturally it counts."

"Then you call him here now, and I will take this opportunity to recognize this child."

Saying that, Hayama smiled apologetically at Keiji Uchiha, who was sitting not far away.

Uchiha Keiji immediately understood what Hayama meant. He immediately picked up the wine glass and stood up and said: "Everyone, I'm really sorry, but I suddenly have something to deal with. Let's do this. Let's have fun again at this time tomorrow."

Although everyone didn't know what happened, looking at Uchiha Fugaku's serious expression, they naturally didn't dare to say anything dissatisfied, and dispersed after drinking a glass of wine.

After everyone dispersed, Uchiha Fugaku took Hayama and Keiji to his living room, and the three of them drank tea without talking.

After a while, Uchiha Keiji was the first to lose his composure and asked: "What happened?"

Uchiha Fugaku smiled, dispelling the solemnity in the living room, and said: "Don't worry, it's a good thing."

"Tonight, Ye Shan will accept a child from a family as his disciple."

Uchiha Keiji was shocked. He quickly thought about the talented children in his family this year, but he didn't have an accurate answer. He couldn't help but ask: "Which family's children are so lucky to be favored by Hayama?"

Uchiha Fugaku chuckled and said mysteriously: "Can you take a guess?"

Uchiha Keiji frowned and said softly: "Shisui?"

Uchiha Shisui's talent is one of the best in the clan, but due to his identity, no one has been willing to accept him as his disciple, so Keiji has reason to guess this.

Uchiha Shisui is inextricably linked to the dead Uchiha Mirror, and Uchiha Mirror is one of the few ninjas in the clan who is close to the Hokage line. He has always been criticized by the clan, which has also affected Uchiha Shisui in the clan.

Not welcome.

Uchiha Fugaku shook his head and said: "Shisui's talent is naturally outstanding. He is already independent at a young age, but he has some problems with his thinking and will never become Hayama's apprentice."

"There is a child in the sixth room, his name is Obito. He is the apprentice I have scouted for Hayama before."

"Obito?"

Uchiha Keiji frowned, he had never heard of this name, but one thing was certain, this child was definitely not the kind of person with extraordinary talents.

Seemingly sensing Keiji's doubts, Fugaku looked around and saw that there was no fourth person present, so he whispered into Keiji's ear.

"What?"

Uchiha Keiji whispered, then covered his mouth, his wide eyes filled with shock.

"Only five people know about this matter now, and it must not be leaked. Do you know what to do?"

Uchiha Keiji nodded hurriedly, knowing the importance of it, and looked at Hayama with deep envy in his eyes.

"It seems that Hayama's status in the clan was still underestimated before. We need to get closer to him in the future." Uchiha Keiji thought to himself.

After a while, Uchiha Kang brought a child to the living room and left immediately.

The child was about seven or eight years old, and his clothes were covered in dust. Without asking, he knew it was from playing.

Although he was still young, this child came from a big family and had a lot of etiquette. He immediately bowed respectfully and said hello, but he couldn't hide the liveliness in his eyes.

Uchiha Fugaku smiled warmly and said warmly: "Don't be nervous, it's a great thing to call you here today."

As he said that, he pointed to Ye Shan who was sitting on the chair and asked, "Do you know him?"

Uchiha Obito looked at Hayama with his clear black and white eyes and said: "The story of Hayama-sama defeating the Kirin ninja and killing Yagura has been passed down in the clan for a long time, so I naturally recognize it."

"It's good to know."

Uchiha Fugaku first said with a chuckle: "Hayama wants to take you as his disciple, are you willing?"

Uchiha Obito's eyes widened, and he looked ecstatic. Without any hesitation, he came directly to Hayama's side, picked up the teacup, offered it with both hands, and said respectfully: "Master, please drink tea."

The most basic etiquette for apprenticeship is to serve tea. Uchiha Obito was quick-thinking and started the apprenticeship process in one step.

For Uchiha Obito, this is a good thing that falls from the sky, and there is no reason to refuse it. With a master with outstanding strength, only if there are advantages and no disadvantages, a fool will not agree.

Hayama nodded with satisfaction, took the tea cup and drank it in one gulp, accepting Uchiha Obito.

"From tomorrow onwards, practice with me every day, can you do it?"

But Uchiha Obito was stunned and said stupidly: "I still have to go to school."
