Although they were not polite, the relationship between the two of them was actually quite good.
Otherwise, Ye Ying would not have given up Huo Ying's position to Yuan Fei back then.
After taking a sip of tea, the third generation Naruto sat comfortably on the tatami. He turned his head and looked at the courtyard outside the house and the furnishings in the house that had not changed much. He was secretly sad.
"Now that you're back, the matter of the group trove is considered to be in the past. What are your plans next?”
"Plans?"
"Yeah, don't tell me you're really just going to be a consultant? I see that you've been bustling with customers these few days.”
"What, do you have a problem with that?"
"Of course not. They were all your former students and comrades. You just came back, so it's naturally not a problem for you to interact with them.”
Ye Ying swept Yuan Fei a glance and said impolitely.
"Since there's no problem with me, is there a problem with you paying too much attention to me?”
Yuan Fei Sun Slash was slightly startled, pressing down the brim of his hat and reminding in a low voice.
"The series of actions after you came back have caused a lot of pressure on some people. It's natural for them to pay a little attention to you. I hope you don't mind.”
Ye Ying sneered.
"Pressure? If they didn't have any ulterior motives, why would they be afraid of me?”
" Eh, you can't put it that way. Ye Ying, the village needs stability and peace. They think that your return has caused the village to become unstable…"
"Unstable? Could it be that the group trove is stable?"
“...”
Ye Ying rolled his eyes at Yuan Fei. He knew that Yuan Fei only wanted to be a peacemaker.
"Yuan Fei, go and tell Men Yan and Xiao Chun that they're already old. They've been in high positions for too long, and even their eyes have become blurry. Their brains have also become silly. It's time for them to properly stay at home and enjoy their old age. They can't even judge the most basic situation clearly, and they still have the cheek to lick their faces and be advisors?”
Not expecting that Ye Ying would be so dissatisfied, Yuan Fei hurriedly consoled him.
"Men Yan and Xiao Chun are only thinking about the safety of the village. Don't misunderstand.”
Ye Ying scoffed at Yuan Fei's words.
" Suspicious internally and weak externally, this is them. And you, how much better do you think you can be? Where did that indomitable, responsible, capable, and charismatic Yuan Fei from before go?!”
Yuan Fei opened his mouth and actually did not know how to answer Ye Ying.
So many years had passed. Yuan Fei had seen too much and experienced too much.
The hot-blooded passion he had when he fought with Ye Ying outside had long since receded. Countless complicated trifles and intertwined family interests had polished his character without any edges.
He wanted to cover everything, but there were gaps everywhere.
This was also the reason why Tuan Zang was dissatisfied with him. He had no choice but to throw all the dark side to Tuan Zang, making him shoulder most of the dark political struggles in the village and outside.
It was just that what he did not expect was that Tuan Zang secretly did so many things that exceeded Yuan Fei's own bottom line.
If not for Ye Ying revealing the true face of the ball trove in one go, Yuan Fei would probably still be unable to discover it even if he had suspicions.
Even if he found out, he might turn a blind eye and let him off because of their old comrade-in-arms.
Thinking of this, Yuan Fei could not help smiling bitterly.
He was really old.
Seeing Yuan Fei like this, Ye Ying said coldly.
"Mu Ye once dominated Ninja World under the leadership of Lord Zhujian and Teacher Feijian. Which Ninja Village would dare to provoke him? " It's not an exaggeration to call him the overlord of the Ninja Realm. Look at yourself. You're overcautious and afraid of this and that. In the end, you don't even know that your disciple is mixing with Danzang. Do you really think that he can do it alone?"! Did they not have a share of the group trove? And you really didn't notice it at all?”
“...”
" He was unwilling to come back, Orochimaru was forced to leave, Tsunei left, the Uchiha clan was alienated, Hatake Shuogu committed suicide…One by one, outstanding talents were forced to stay away from Woodleaf Village by you and Tuan Zang. The once prosperous Woodleaf Village had actually fallen to the point where any Ninja Village would dare to covet it. You really did a good job, Naruto!”
Ye Ying's words were very heavy, directly speaking until Yuan Fei Sun Slash lowered his head deeply.
"Ye Ying, I…"
" You what you? Yuan Fei, I know what you're thinking, but let me tell you, not doing anything and letting Tuan Zang do those stupid things is your greatest mistake. Now, you're even thinking of restraining me. Looks like you don't want me to stay in Muye either. If that's the case, I, Ye Ying, will just leave.”
"No, no, no, don't be rash. Ye Ying, I really didn't mean it that way.”
"Hmph, you wouldn't dare!"
“...”
Yuan Fei could only smile bitterly continuously. Facing Ye Ying's usual dominance, the current him was really somewhat unaccustomed.
Ye Ying looked at Yuan Fei coldly and said coolly.
"Didn't you guys go look for Okami? Just you wait. Once Okami returns to take over the fifth generation Naruto, the first thing he will do is to cancel this so-called Elder Committee. You, Men Yan, and Xiao Chun, you can retire together!”
After Yuan Fei was silent for a moment, he sighed softly.
"I don't have any problems. As for Men Yan and the others, don't tell me there's no room for negotiation?”
" Yuan Fei, I'm not discussing this with you. Furthermore, letting them retire for their retirement is the greatest leniency towards them. Of course, if they feel dissatisfied and want to wrestle with me, then don't blame me for not mentioning that little bit of affection from back then.”
"Ye Ying, why do you have to be so decisive? You want to clear some obstacles for the administration of the government after you take over the position, right?”
"So what if he is? He has already become an obstacle, and he still has the cheek to continue staying?”
“... You're right."
Yuan Fei and Sun Slash sighed helplessly. He finally truly understood why Teacher Feijian expressed his emotions openly and secretly that night at the gathering.
He, Flying Ape Sun Slash, was really already unable to advance to Wood Leaf's Fire Shadow.
There was nothing wrong with being steady and prudent, but to compromise blindly and want to cover everything…
The third battle of the Ninja Realm had destroyed all his bones.
"I understand what you mean, but it's good that you're back. It's time for me to enjoy my retirement.”
Originally, he had wanted to come over to be a peacemaker and persuade Ye Ying to restrain his domineering personality a little, but he had not expected to be scolded by Ye Ying from the beginning to the end.
Perhaps he was really wrong.
Seeing Yuan Fei blame himself very much, Ye Ying felt bad in his heart too.
Actually, Yuan Fei was not as unbearable as he said.
It was just that if he did not use a heavy hammer to strike the drum, it would probably be very difficult for Yuan Fei to make up his mind.
"Men Yan and Xiao Chun, let them retire before Okami returns, lest people say that Okami doesn't care about old relationships and doesn't respect his elders.”
“... No problem."
"The Elder Council is now disbanded. As for how you announce this matter, that's your business.”
"Then you…"
"Me? Why do you care so much about me?"
"Sigh, let's find a time to sit down and have a good chat.”
"Up to you."
"Thank you for the tea. It's very good."
"That was left behind by the fourth generation."
“...”
Looking at Yuan Fei's somewhat bleak back view gradually leaving, Ye Ying sighed in his heart.
Yuan Fei, I'm sorry. You and the Elder Committee must let go of the authority in your hands. Otherwise, the cardinal guides will be restrained and unable to move an inch.
