Shikamaru didn't have time to observe more about the life of ANBU. His first mission to join this department had already been issued.
The mission was directly conveyed by Tsunade to Tenzo, who then conveyed it to three subordinates including Shikamaru.
Shikamaru now held a briefing on this mission in his hand, with general instructions on it.
Strictly speaking, this incident was caused by him. In the last stage of the Chunin Examination, the two Kusakunin Village ninjas he met before fighting Gaara were ordered by Wazha Nakaquan.
It seems that this man is also a bit careless. Shikamaru was sure that Konoha Village would not let him go in the future, and now it turns out that this is indeed the case.
With the current world structure and the survival of Ninja Villages, the balanced system that the First Hokage originally intended to maintain is obviously a bit wishful thinking. It has developed to this day and has experienced many wars that have affected the Ninja World. It has formed the current five major Ninja Villages that rely on oppressing the smaller Ninja Villages.
Thereby maintaining its own prosperous form, but even so, sparks of friction continued to arise between the five major ninja villages.
Not to mention the current situation of Konoha Village, just because it is one of the five major ninja villages, if something like this happens, it must use a tough attitude to punish the grass ninja village.
…………
The convenience of the ANBU captain is that they have documents that can enter and leave Konoha Village at any time. They do not need to apply for it during the mission. Their status as ANBU captain allows them to lead four people every time they enter and leave Konoha Village.
The four members of the ANBU's third detachment, where Shikamaru is located, set out at night that day. They marched ahead of Akai's team and arrived at the capital of Grassland in advance to be ready. As long as Akai and the others conveyed Tsunade's words, they would attract
With the attention of the Grass Ninja Village and the Country of Grass, they will take action and eradicate the Grass Ninja who protects He Zhai Nakaquan.
As for the action plan, it's actually just a look at the mission briefing. Even the Hokage can't control the battle situation from thousands of miles away. The best commander of this operation is Tenzo. How he performs it depends on his ability.
…………
Four black figures kept shuttling through the forest, maintaining a loose but stable formation even while traveling at high speed.
The leader was a ninja wearing a khaki windbreaker, a hood and a feline mask. He seemed to be the leader of the team. At this time, he suddenly stopped and did not speak. He just raised his right hand that was clenched into a fist and followed.
His movements made three people a few steps away from him, wearing black windbreakers and hoods, with animal masks on their faces, stop almost at the same time, showing a well-trained manner.
No one asked aloud. The three ninjas in black trench coats just looked at their captain quietly while being distracted and alert to the surroundings.
With their animal masks, well-trained styles, and simple but distinctive windbreakers, the identities of these four people can be easily revealed. They are ANBU members from Konoha Village and the four members of the third team.
Famous Konoha ninja!
"Someone..." Tenzo listened carefully for a moment. There were many branches that had fallen to the ground in the dense forest for a long time. At this time, the occasional crisp sound from the distance was obviously the sound of branches breaking. Shikamaru, who had excellent hearing, had already heard
An abnormality was detected.
Tenzo sensed that someone was approaching, and the right hand that he had raised with a fist suddenly spread apart. Shikamaru, who had been paying attention to his movements, saw this and without hesitation raised his leg and kicked on the trunk of the big tree next to him.
The carat tightly bound his body like a suction cup, causing his whole figure to jump upwards, and then he jumped continuously and hid behind the thick broad leaves at the top of a big tree.
At the same time as Shikamaru moved, the other three people, including Tenzo, also dispersed and hid themselves.
After a while, a middle-aged man who looked like a woodcutter passed by the area where Shikamaru and the others were. Unexpectedly, he had stepped into an ambush circle of some kind of creature that was more terrifying than a beast, and finally staggered away from the place.
.
After the woodcutter left, they waited for a while before finally showing up.
"This should be within the Kingdom of Grass." Tianzang looked at the direction the woodcutter came from, murmured to himself, and then looked at the sky. Although the dense forest blocked the sky, there was still some light.
A little sunlight shines inside, and it is already daytime. Unless the transformation spell is used, the four strangely dressed ANBU will naturally attract attention as long as they are exposed to the sight of outsiders.
"Go back to the depths of the jungle to rest for a while, and wait until night before proceeding." Tianzang ordered, and Bendang took the lead and turned around to walk back to the depths of the jungle from where he came.
Naturally, Shikamaru and the others would not object. Not only because of discipline, they had to travel non-stop for two days and three nights, during which they also took remote roads to avoid crowds. Even ninjas and very good ANBU members would inevitably be tired.
The country of Grass has a small land area, and one night is enough for four people to rush to the capital of the country. Shikamaru knows that what they need to do next is to wait for the arrival of Akai's team, and at the same time inquire about the location of the Nakaquan Imperial Palace.
If the situation arises, they may even send someone to plant nails around He Zhai Zhongquan in advance.
…………
Rixiang Neji followed Akai's steps in silence. This superior yelled a lot along the way. Except for Rock Lee who was exactly the same as him, Tiantian and him were a little bit overwhelmed.
The amount of mission information obtained by the genin was obviously not as good as that of the ANBU. Ri Xiang Neci, Tiantian and Rock Lee only knew that this mission was to go to the Country of Grass to extract the elders of the Daimyo family. Although they were elders, for the Leaf Village, since they dared to
If you break the rules you set within your own borders, you are just a criminal.
Only Akai knew that their role was mainly to cooperate with the Anbu to complete the operation.
However, the reason why Rishi seemed unusually quiet on the way to Neji was not because of the mission, but because of what Shikamaru said to him at the beginning.
Shikamaru may not be able to use his mouth to escape like Uzumaki Naruto, but his words did not deliberately deceive Rimu Neji, especially about Richa and the Rimu clan.
There is not a single lie in the system of the Zong family.
And that's enough.
Shikamaru's words changed Rimu Ningci's previous views on things. It was no longer the same as in the original work. He paid attention to the words "family" and "brothers" in Rimu's will, thus becoming a loyal line of the Rimu clan.
Dog, but looks at the problem from the perspective of the beneficiary and oppressive classes of the system as Shikamaru mentioned.
As a result, this way of thinking made him more and more inclined to agree with Shikamaru's statement.
There has never been a shortage of talented ninjas in the branch family. In fact, because the branch family was oppressed and treated unfairly, they were unable to learn many secret techniques of soft fist, and they had to protect the clan, making themselves more dangerous on the battlefield. In order to survive and
To save their lives, they work harder than the Zong family to tap their own potential.
There may be few people who can match Riku Neji's talent, but compared to the Zong family, they are definitely more powerful.
And Rikua Neji, who discovered this, felt even more disgust and hatred from the bottom of his heart for the clan's high-sounding excuse that "the sacrifice of dividing the family was to protect the development of Rikua's bloodline."
If it is really for the development of the Rixiang family, the choice of the clan should not rely on blood, but on talent. But the current situation is that the descendants of the clan, regardless of whether they are wise or foolish, are born to be high-ranking. No matter how outstanding their descendants are, they can only exist as victims and will never be able to stand up again.
As Shikamaru said, those who gain benefits will do anything to protect their rights and interests. Just ignoring and deceiving is actually a relatively "mild" method.
Ri Xiang Neci thought of this, thinking that his father had a strong unwillingness, but could only die to protest this corrupt system, and there was a trace of murderous intent in his cold eyes.
Only when there were only Rock Lee and Kai around, and Tiantian had a few companions, could Rixiang Neji show a little bit of this cruelty. After all, he was not a fool or a fool. He was a young man who was once known for his talent and talent. Naturally, I understand the power of the mark on my forehead, and since I understand the true face of the clan, I don't dare to show my hatred for the clan and the Rixiang family system as before.
He aims to follow his father's path and destroy the corrupt system of the Japanese clan.
However, Rixiang Ningci also understands that this is not easy. Not to mention the curse seal of "Caged Bird", the ninja clan has always monopolized the secret techniques and blood inheritance limits of the ninja village. They have extremely powerful power, even if they can use the power of thunder Eradicating them in one fell swoop would also be extremely harmful to a village, causing the Ninja Village's combat power to be greatly reduced, which was not an easy task.
But thinking of the young man who stood quietly and looked at Hokage Rock indifferently, Ri Xiang Neji inexplicably felt more confidence and expectation in his heart.
When he heard Shikamaru's words for the first time, he felt that this young man who had always been known for his rationality and calmness finally showed his crazy nature. But now when he thinks back calmly, he only remembers the indifference and confidence of that man at that time.
And based on Ri Xiang Neci's understanding of Shikamaru, he also knew that the other party didn't like to talk big words like Uzumaki Naruto. Since he dared to speak such a sensational ideal to him, he might have a conspiracy in his mind.
Thinking of this, Rixiang Neci seemed to have a flame burning in his heart, and a thought called restlessness emerged in his mind, determined to participate in this idea that was about to cause changes in the world. Just thinking about it made him feel So excited!
…………
Of course, Shikamaru, who was in the Land of Grass, didn't know what Riku Neji was thinking at this time. He was currently busy serving tea and water.
That's right, it's tea and water.
He has now sneaked into Hezhai Zhongquan's palace and transformed into a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth. As a newly recruited servant, he secretly probes for information.
There were two chunin from Kusakunin Village in Nakaquan's family, but since they were not sentient ninjas, Shikamaru didn't take them seriously in terms of strength.
It is said that the military really serves politics. Shikamaru, who lowered his head and looked humble, secretly glanced at the old man with dark skin and some age spots on his face. He was currently sleeping and sighed secretly.
If it was really just to kill Kazuya Nakaquan, or simply bring him back to Konoha Village, Shikamaru dared to say that he could do it alone. Unfortunately, Tsunade's purpose was to intimidate, to slap the face of the Grass Ninja Village, Shikamaru Maruya could only watch this disgusting and wretched old man live.
Shikamaru glanced at the naked person in the corner of the room who was tied tightly with a rope like an white sheep. His skin as white as suet jade had shocking scars, his face was stained with tears, and his lower body was in a mess. Contact
Hezhai Zhongquan, who was still taking a nap on the tatami at this time, didn't need to think carefully to know what happened.
The slightly confused eyes slowly opened, meeting Shikamaru's glance, and the childish face had a complex expression of fear, expectation, and viciousness, which made it difficult for Shikamaru to believe that this was just a person.
A girl who has just turned ten.
Shikamaru no longer looked into each other's eyes, quietly took down a wooden table in Nakaquan's room, along with the food and drinks on it, and exited the room.
Shikamaru knew that the girl in the room behind him was viciously cursing him, and hoped that Zakamon and Zakamon would focus on the handsome young man he had transformed into and let him go. Unfortunately, Shikamaru had no intention of fulfilling the other's wish, even though he was
Ninjas possess illusions, but there are two ninjas in this mansion, and it is inconvenient for the other party to discover their flaws.
Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief after exiting the room and looked back.
It is said that Shikamaru, who lived in Konoha Village most of the time when he was growing up in this world, has seen a lot of things during his time in the Country of Grass.
Although he has been to the Country of Waves and seen the poverty and poverty of the people oppressed by Cardo, in fact, because the daimyo and aristocrats of the Country of Waves were also blackmailed by Cardo, their lives were also very miserable. Real oppression
There was only Kado alone, and Shikamaru didn't even have the chance to experience the hellish scene.
If we compare the prosperity of cities, Konoha Village is undoubtedly the first-rate, followed by other cities in the Land of Fire, and the cities in the Kingdom of Grass can barely be included in the third-rate category.
The Ninja Village can not only serve as a country's external force protection institution, but in contrast, the power of the Ninja is enough to suppress any domestic instability.
Whenever characters like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang appear, they will be strangled by ninjas, because the strength of ordinary people is simply not enough to compete with ninjas.
Competing with behemoths like the Five Ninja Villages for client resources is obviously an effort to defeat the stone. If the small Ninja Village wants to maintain its vitality, it can only rely on funding from the country where it is located.
As a result, internal oppression was formed.
The head of the country and the aristocracy support the Ninja Village, and the Ninja Village protects the aristocracy that can support itself. For ordinary people, this is an iron curtain relationship that is difficult to break.
When a few people have unbridled power, there is no need to have expectations for their character. In addition, this world does not have food treasures such as hybrid rice like Shikamaru's previous life. In fact, most ordinary people in this world have
Struggling on the edge of death.
Only this kind of environment can make many people want to become ninjas. In peacetime, they can have enough food and clothing, and high-risk and difficult professions will not be pursued in this way. But now, becoming a ninja gives you the power, even if you are a rebel ninja.
Whether you kill or take away, you can still live freely.
Shikamaru was able to sneak into this mansion thanks to his changed appearance - because Nakaquan Wakazata likes beautiful boys and girls.
"It's indeed killable." Shikamaru sneered and looked away.
