Hayama sipped the warm tea and narrowed his eyes, but did not answer Minato's words. Instead, he put down the tea cup and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He lit it for himself and threw the whole pack to Jiraiya, signaling to him.

Conveniently.

His face was soon covered by the smoke he exhaled, making it difficult to see clearly. Jiraiya opened his mouth to say something but couldn't.

After a long time, when the cigarette burned out, Ye Shan opened his mouth to speak.

"It's nothing serious, it's just a few dead fish."

Although Minato had a warm smile on his face all day long, as if everything was negotiable, in fact he was extremely determined, otherwise he would not have mastered the space-time ninjutsu.

He stared into Ye Shan's eyes and asked word for word: "So who is dead?"

"Shimura Danzo."

Danzo Shimura's four words brought the atmosphere in the box to a freezing point. Jiraiya didn't care about some political struggles, but for Minato, who aspired to become Hokage, he was aware of any struggle in the village. So when he heard

When Shimura Danzo unexpectedly died, he soon realized that the village's power structure was undergoing a major reshuffle.

"You did it?"

"Um."

Namikaze Minato straightened his back and asked, "Why?"

Ye Shan glanced at him and said calmly: "He wanted to kill me, so he died."

Those who kill will always be killed, it is such a simple but natural truth.

Minato's face looked much better, and he immediately complained: "Then you don't have to kill him directly. It is the safest way to leave it to the Hokage-sama."

Damn it, Namikaze Minato actually thought that Sarutobi Hiruzen had no knowledge of this matter, which made Hayama sneer in his heart.

Hayama has always used the darkest psychology to speculate on the high-level officials of Konoha. In fact, what he did was absolutely right, because those high-level officials of Konoha were constantly pushing the lower limit, and they had reached the point where they would do whatever they could regardless of their dignity.

However, Hayama did not want to reveal the dark side to Minato in public. Hearing this, he just said lightly: "Sorry, I didn't expect him to be so weak. He couldn't survive even a single move."

Minato was shocked. He knew that Hayama's strength had become increasingly terrifying in recent years, but he still didn't expect that he could kill Danzo with one move.

"No matter what, openly killing ninjas in the village is a bad behavior. There is no reason for companions to kill each other."

Look, no matter who he is, no matter how good his character and temperament are, as long as he is a human being, he will do things that make it easier for him to stand up and speak, and he will stand on the moral high ground in speaking and responsibilities to others.

Hatake Sakumo was once driven to a dead end by the gossip of such people, and now it is Hayama's turn.

As a soul traveler, Ye Shan classifies such people as keyboard warriors, and of course there are ways to deal with them.

"Ah, yes, yes, everything you said is right."

Minato was stunned and then understood what Hayama was thinking, and smiled bitterly: "I'm not blaming you, I'm just..."

"You just can't stand me, right?" Ye Shan asked seriously.

"Others can't see your thoughts, but I can see them clearly."

"You just can't stand what I do. You can't stand me since I was in that tent in Konoha 41, otherwise you and I wouldn't have had time to have a meal in these years."

Jiraiya hurriedly picked up the kettle and filled it up for Hayama to smooth things over: "Don't say those words tonight, let's just eat and drink."

Namikaze Minato retracted the smile on his face and stared at Hayama expressionlessly, his voice seemed to contain dissatisfaction.

"Am I wrong?"

"No matter how wrong a person is, he is still a ninja in the village; no matter how big a mistake a person makes, his punishment still needs to be punished by the Hokage, and the village rules are implemented. No one can be above the Hokage unless he has already

No longer a qualified Konoha ninja!"

"In the 41st year of Konoha, you failed to assassinate the director of the assassination mission division Sarutobi Kagata; in the 42nd year of Konoha, you openly killed several ANBU ninjas on the street; in the same year, you eliminated several root ninjas in the training ground; this year

He killed Danzo Shimura again, right?"

"Hayama, you have been treated unfairly by the village over the years, but this is not the reason for you to kill the village ninja."

"You remember, everything in Konoha Village is decided by the Hokage, and no one can be above the rules!"

Yes, what Namikaze Minato said is correct. In Konoha Village and in the entire Fire Country, Hokage has the supreme status. He can decide the life and death of every Konoha ninja. He has absolute power. This

It is something written in the laws of the country, and no one can deny it.

That's why Hatake Sakumo, a well-educated ninja, chose to commit suicide under the secret pressure of the Hokage; that's why Namikaze Minato, Hayama's former comrade-in-arms, chose to blame instead of understand tonight.

No one could understand the bitterness in Hayama's heart at this moment, except for the dead Yamashiro Tatsu. He didn't want to argue with Namikaze Minato because he didn't want to talk much.

There was a conversation between eminent monks in his previous life that Ye Shan always disagreed with. He always did, now and always will.

Hanshan asked: "There are people in the world who slander me, bully me, humiliate me, laugh at me, underestimate me, despise me, hate me, and lie to me. How should I deal with it?"

Shide replied: "Just tolerate him, let him, let him, avoid him, be patient with him, respect him, ignore him, stay for a few more years, you can see him."

Hanshan and Shide are both enlightened monks, and this conversation has always been regarded as a model and a rule of life for many people, but for some reason, Ye Shan can't stand it.

According to his idea, if there are people in the world who slander me, bully me, humiliate me, laugh at me, underestimate me, despise me, hate me, or lie to me, they naturally want to be happy with their grudges and obey their own inner thoughts, not

Tolerate, give in, let go, avoid, be patient, and respect this uncomfortable practice.

The person Ye Shan admired and loved the most in his previous life was Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. This man always had revenge and grievances, and he could settle the matter today without delaying it until tomorrow. He was so free and unrestrained in the world.

So Minato was right, and of course Hayama was even more right. One of them inherited the excellent will of fire and was a ninja who absolutely loved the village; the other was a soul traveler from Nojiko, and he was a person who valued his life the most.

That's right. If we really want to talk about right and wrong, having this meal together tonight is a real mistake.

Hayama stood up, ignoring Jiraiya's increasingly ugly expression, staring at Minato and responded with his own thoughts.

"Don't tell others to do good without their suffering."

"If I were you, I wouldn't sit here and say these high-sounding words!"

After that, Ye Shan turned around and left without even saying hello.

Kakashi and Obito couldn't sit still. Although they were still young and couldn't understand the grudge between the two, they immediately stood up, bowed respectfully and quickly left the place.

In the blink of an eye, only Jiraiya and Minato's master and apprentice were left in the box, and only the tea in the teacup was exuding a trace of heat.

Jiraiya let out a long sigh, feeling a headache from being entangled in old grudges.

"Minato, you really went too far."

The angry Namikaze Minato lost his usual gentleness and asked, "Isn't what I said the truth?"

Jiraiya picked up the cigarette left by Hayama, lit a cigarette, and said slowly: "You have had everything going smoothly since you were a child, how could you know the hardships of those low-level ninjas."

"Although I have always been contented, I have really seen the hardships of those low-level ninjas. They are from a humble background, and naturally have much less training resources than the family ninjas. In peacetime, it is okay. It is just that the mission money is less, but

However, once a war breaks out, they will often be the first batch of ninjas to die. In the final analysis, it is an injustice of resource allocation."

"This is how Ye Shan came about. When you have enough ninjutsu training, he may have to take risks for a C-level ninjutsu; when you have my guidance to easily obtain some training tips, he may be a little bit

The level is stuck; when you have a jounin leading the team to perform tasks on the battlefield, he may have become a genin team leader, living in the shadow of death every day."

"I say this not to emphasize the unfairness of the gap between you, but to resolve your conflicts from the perspective of a bystander."

"You are still young, and it is normal to think that things are absolutely right or wrong. When you reach my age, you will understand that no one is right or wrong in the world, and the formation of everything is the result of cause and effect.

You reap what you sow, that’s all.”

Jiraiya put out the cigarette in his hand and looked at the apprentice in front of him who had high hopes for him, with reproach in his eyes.

"I hope you can think more about these words when you go back. They are also the necessary sense of right and wrong to become an excellent Hokage."

After that, Jiraiya got up and left the box, but went to pay the bill.

Jiraiya is a carefree person on the outside but delicate on the inside. He has always seen what Hayama did, but will not really blame him for his actions.

Hayama was good at killing several ninjas in the village, but he never had any thoughts of being detrimental to the village and never wanted to be a truly happy rebel ninja, so Jiraiya chose to tolerate him.

A ninja who always wants to clear his master's name, no matter how bad he is, how bad can he be?

As for the inheritance of the Will of Fire, Jiraiya has always believed that the growth environment of each ninja is different, which will inevitably lead to different embodiments of the Will of Fire. The Will of Fire is like the wind blowing in the mountains and should never be passed down by others.

Definition, it is free, it should and must be diverse, and it should not become a one-size-fits-all term.

Jiraiya has long seen through the grudges and grudges in the world, so he has always been indifferent to the position of Hokage, because he thinks he can't deal with injustice without conscience, just like his mentor Sarutobi Hiruzen.
