Not long after the battle between Shikamaru and others, Kurenai Yuhi arrived with Akai, Shiranui Genma, Azurai and Yamashiro Aoba, several Konoha Jounin and Special Jounin. At this time, Konoha was in urgent need of manpower.
, actually a full five jounin and special jounin formed a combat team and rushed over quickly, which is enough to show that Konoha's three advisors attach great importance to this matter.
Seeing that there was more or less light sweat on the foreheads of several people, Shikamaru understood that the other party must have rushed here as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, he arrived a step too late. Several people looked seriously injured and fell into coma, especially when three fingers were injured.
The severed Sarutobi Asuma couldn't help but gasp - if this kind of injury cannot be cured, let alone the use of ninjutsu and ninja tools, it will even cause trouble in daily life. For the profession of ninja, it is impossible
Serious injuries to be compensated and avoided.
"Not only Kakashi, but also Asuma..." Kai held the unconscious Sarutobi Asuma behind him, glanced at the gloomy Yuhi Kurenai, sighed and said: "We'd better come
It’s too late.”
Shikamaru was silent, Akimichi Choji stood quietly behind him, his eyes moved away from Sarutobi Asuma's face as if to escape, his face showed pain, his face was wrinkled, even with his knowledge,
He also understood that even with the medical level of Konohagakure, Sarutobi Asuma's severed finger would be difficult to reattach, let alone that he would be able to rejoin the mission of a ninja without any sequelae or discomfort and be as flexible as before.
Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Inikasaki had already escaped, and Asuma Sarutobi was severely injured. Kurenai Yuhi and Akai seemed to have no need to stay, so they were preparing to return to Konoha with Asma Sarutobi who was unconscious.
village to receive treatment.
"Shikamaru!" Yuhi Kurenai and others were about to leave, but Shikamaru, Jiraiya and others were not prepared to stay in this badly damaged hotel anymore. Just as the two teams were about to separate, Yuhi Kurenai suddenly stopped them.
Shikamaru, who spoke little from beginning to end, hesitated slightly and said softly: "I'm afraid only one person can cure Asuma's injury..."
"I know," Shikamaru interrupted Yuhi Kurenai's words. He turned back and looked at the other party seriously and said, "I will definitely bring the Fifth Hokage back to Konoha."
Although he is still a genin, a twelve-year-old boy, Shikamaru is still able to neither be humble nor overbearing when facing Yuhi Kurenai, and his tone is decisive. And when he carefully observes Shikamaru's Yuhi Kurenai, he notices the seriousness of the other party's words.
His expression even contained a hint of determination to succeed despite all obstacles!?
In the end, this mission, Shikamaru and others, can be said to be a near miss. After all, with Jiraiya as his company, even if Orochimaru attacks in his heyday, they can still resist it. At this time, Orochimaru's hands are banned.
Of course, it is not a matter of course to use a magic seal. Shikamaru and others' responsibilities are more to help Jiraiya find and monitor Jiraiya to prevent him from escaping. Even the possibility of facing the ninjas of the Sound Ninja Village is extremely small.
Based on Yuhi Kurenai’s understanding of Shikamaru, I’m afraid he should know this, but what is the purpose of his attitude at this time!?
…………
Shikamaru's attitude and behavior have raised Shikamaru's vigilance to the highest level.
Maybe this boy is just a trained tool, but the mastermind holding this tool is not a fuel-efficient lamp, but one of the few men with huge ambitions in this world, a true conspirator.
Shikamaru, who has read the original work and understands that Danzo Shimura's goal is to take the throne of Hokage, is even more certain that the reason why Shikamaru was assigned to the team searching for the Fifth Hokage this time must be a secret mission ordered by Danzo Shimura!
He had no way of knowing the specific content of the mission, but Shikamaru knew that this mission would definitely not be as simple as it seemed, because on the battlefield, cold arrows from behind are often the most difficult to guard against!
This hotel had been almost destroyed. After Jiraiya gave the owner a large sum of money with a heartbroken look on his face, he took Shikamaru and others to another hotel, muttering to himself along the way.
"I will reimburse him when he returns to Konoha!" and other words, as if he was afraid that Konoha Village would not reimburse him for the money he paid, which gave him more confidence.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Jiraiya, Shikamaru and others got up one after another, packed their bags, and continued on their way to the next town.
Peaceful times are often when the entertainment and service industries are most developed and prosperous. Just like the post town where Shikamaru settled before, there are countless hotels of all kinds, as well as many izakayas and clubs scattered throughout. Jiraiya and
The first destination of the journey for Shikamaru and others was Tanshu Street, a famous tourist destination located in the hinterland of the Land of Fire, not too far from Konoha Village, and also a place where the gambling industry is extremely prosperous.
However, there are some small towns or cities with some casinos along the way, and the gambling industry is also small and large-scale. Jiraiya and Shikamaru and others will also pass through here, and they will also check out Tsunade's whereabouts while staying.
After the attack by Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Ingakaki, the division of the team of Shikamaru, Shikamaru, Akimichi Choji and Uzumaki Naruto became more obvious. Even Jiraiya could easily feel this, or in other words,
Shikamaru and the others didn't hide it at all.
As Sarutobi Asuma's subordinates, Shikamaru and Akimichi Choji were naturally hostile because Asuma was injured because of Asuma's avoidance of the battle. Uzumaki Naruto also began to sort out and dislike Asuma, but it was not because of the other party's
A fake smile and cruel words.
Just like what Shikamaru said when Jiraiya assigned tasks to Shikamaru, Shikamaru and others, and asked Shikamaru, who was said to be good at detectives, to be solely responsible for searching for Tsunade's whereabouts.
"I don't trust him." Shikamaru said to Jiraiya straightforwardly and without any concealment.
Shikamaru's behavior has made the three Konoha genin including Shikamaru no longer trust him. This made Jiraiya feel a little headache, but he had no choice but to dare to let Shikamaru and Shikamaru confront each other, so he had to
Responsible for the leadership of his team and assign tasks to several people.
Therefore, except for Naruto, who can concentrate on practicing "Rasengan" under Jiraiya's guidance and protection, at his own request, except for Otori, who usually uses "Super Beast Pseudo Painting" to transform, he is at his location from time to time.
In addition to hovering in the sky, Shikamaru and Choji were also responsible for inquiring about Tsunade's news at various casinos and local sects.
When it comes to prosperity and development, the Country of Fire, which has the strongest military organization "Konoha Ninja Village" in the ninja world, is the first. No country in the world can match it, not even the Country of Wind, which is also one of the five major countries.
, the Kingdom of Thunder, the Kingdom of Water and the Kingdom of Earth are still like this.
Force has ensured the safety of the land and citizens of the Fire Country, and commerce has flourished as a result. The favorable environment and good geographical location have given it a unique advantage. In contrast, the Wind Country is mostly desert and thunderous.
The Kingdom of Earth is spread over the plateau, the Kingdom of Earth is barren, and the Kingdom of Water has suffered from man-made disasters in recent years. Although it is tied with the Kingdom of Fire, it is actually its turn to be prosperous. In fact, it cannot compare with the Kingdom of Fire at all. Maybe people from the Kingdom of Fire
It's okay for outsiders to visit for a while and enjoy the scenery that is completely different from the Land of Fire, but if you want to live there for a long time, I'm afraid it's not the first choice.
What's more, Tsunade is still a female ninja whose name is famous in the ninja world. Although she left Konoha Village and traveled around, if she really settles down in another country, I wonder if the ninja village in this country can survive?
Therefore, even including Uzumaki Naruto, a somewhat naive young man, Shikamaru and others never thought about the possibility of not finding Tsunade in the Land of Fire.
Akimichi Choji complained slightly about the fact that Uzumaki Naruto did not join them in searching for news about Tsunade and could practice alone.
Not only because Uzumaki Naruto's multiple shadow clones are indeed a weapon used to find out information, they can be of great help, but more importantly, Shikamaru did not consider the fact that Tsunade is a ninja with extremely high medical skills.
He concealed nothing, which gave Akimichi Choji a glimmer of hope in healing Sarutobi Asuma, hoping to find Tsunade as soon as possible and bring her back to Konoha to treat Sarutobi Asuma.
If among the three newly promoted genin classes in Konoha, the one with whom he has the best relationship is undoubtedly Shikamaru, Choji, Ino and Sarutobi Asuma from class 10.
Even Team 7, where Uzumaki Naruto, the protagonist of the original work, belongs, is not as good as Shikamaru and others.
After each mission, the barbecue dinner served by Asuma Sarutobi is often the show that Choji looks forward to the most. Although he will not deliberately open his belly and eat until he is full every time he eats barbecue, fearing that Asuma Sarutobi will
It was too expensive, but after graduating as a genin, he was able to meet a mentoring jounin who encouraged him all the time and often invited him and his companions to have dinner together. Choji Akimichi knew how lucky he was.
There is no doubt that for Shikamaru, Choji and Ino, Sarutobi Asuma is an excellent leader and a kind senior.
…………
Naruto Uzumaki rubbed his eyes in confusion and yawned, but then the stinging sensation on his right hand made him grin in pain, and any trace of sleepiness disappeared.
Together with Jiraiya, Shikamaru and others, they have been looking for the fifth Hokage Tsunade for some time. Uzumaki Naruto's "Rasengan" training has also reached the second step of using rubber balls to increase the power of chakra.
He had gone through a lot of hardships, constantly condensing chakra in his right hand day after day, making his hand sore every night like being bitten by a stinging ant.
He once tried to learn the tricks from Shikamaru because Jiraiya was always missing and was not around to teach him how to learn the Rasengan, but he was bumped into by Jiraiya and gave him a harsh lesson.
As Jiraiya said, only by relying on boring exploration and repeated practice day after day can you truly master the Rasengan and deepen your understanding. If you take shortcuts, it will be detrimental to the future.
Although there was a voice in Uzumaki Naruto's heart telling him that what Jiraiya said seemed to be good words, the rebellious character of the young man was still dissatisfied with Jiraiya's attitude. At this time, when he walked out of the room in the dark to go to the toilet, he was still muttering about Jiraiya.
of bad words.
"If only I were as smart as Shikamaru, I would definitely be able to learn the Rasengan very quickly." Uzumaki Naruto curled his lips and thought to himself, who didn't know that Shikamaru, whom he envied, could figure out the Rasengan in the first place?
It took more than a year. At that time, I was still a little envious of Uzumaki Naruto who had huge chakra and could train every day.
