While Samui was searching around in panic because of Shikamaru's sudden disappearance, Shikamaru suddenly released the effect of the sealing technique, appeared from where he was, pulled out the "Shadow Show" from his waist and stabbed Samui, who had his back turned to him.
.
"Be careful!" Darui, who has messy hair and long gray bangs that slightly block his left eye, has lost the previous laziness on his face. His expression is solemn, and he is holding a rough broad-bladed sword with both hands, his eyes constantly looking at the courtyard.
He scanned the area and noticed something abnormal as soon as Shikamaru appeared. He loudly reminded Samui, roared angrily, and strode towards Shikamaru.
Karui and Omoi, who cooperated tacitly, were only half a step behind Darui. One after another, they dragged the sword back and rushed towards Shikamaru.
Samui's reaction was much faster than that of Xi who was killed by Shikamaru before. Hearing Darui's timely reminder, he reacted quickly, leaned forward, and quickly spread his long legs to maintain balance.
This caused her to distance herself from Shikamaru, and at the same time, her slender waist was as soft as a bone, supporting her upper body to twist and swing her right hand, just in time to block the short sword she was holding in front of the "Kage Show" that Shikamaru continued to stab.
Click!
The moment the two weapons collided, what was heard in the small courtyard was not the trembling sound of metal colliding, but a harsh breaking sound that reached everyone's ears.
Samui's pupils shrank, and he didn't have time to think about it. He quickly rolled forward to avoid Shikamaru's attack and also provide space for his attacking companions. After discovering that Shikamaru did not continue to pursue, he had time to check the short sword in his hand -
- This weapon that has been with Samyi for many years has only had a slight contact with "Shadow Show", and a shocking crack has appeared on the blade, almost breaking off from it.
"His weapons are weird!" Samyi loudly reminded Darui and others before he could feel sorry for the scrapped weapons.
Shikamaru sneered when he heard this. Under the cover of night, the layer of "yin" attribute chakra condensed on the "Kage Show" was difficult to detect at all. The spiritual energy attached to the surface of the "Kage Show" was in Shikamaru's body.
It undergoes changes under control, generating countless irregular saw teeth, vibrating endlessly like a chainsaw. This is why the cracks on the Samui dagger are formed.
However, no matter how confident Shikamaru was about his own strength, he would not be stupid enough to fight against three Kumo ninjas with excellent sword skills. At this time, he saw Darui, Omoi and Karui rushing towards him at the same time, and quickly retreated.
, Karuyi thought he was going to run away, so she cursed angrily: "Don't even think about running away!"
Whoosh!
He killed Nozomi because he was a perceptive ninja and could easily see through his own ninjutsu. The purpose of Shikamaru's trip was not simply provocation. How could he just run away? While he was retreating, he suddenly shook his hands and moved toward Daru who was striding forward.
Yi threw a kunai, but this childish attack did not even slow down Darui.
Darui tilted his head slightly and already got out of the flight path of the kunai. The kunai that was avoided flew in from the paper window of the house behind Darui. He didn't care about this and kept walking.
He rushed to Shikamaru.
Woo!
The muscles on Darui's arms stood high, and the sword he swung with all his strength cut through the air, causing a series of shrill sounds. His eyes revealed a determination to cut Shikamaru into two pieces.
Omoi and Karui also rushed to Shikamaru at this time, stabbing the vital parts of Shikamaru's body with their surprisingly long tachi respectively. In conjunction with Darui's attack, Shikamaru's dodge space was almost sealed, unless he gave in and retreated.
Otherwise, there is only one idea, and Karui believes that if Shikamaru retreats and gives up the opportunity to attack to himself and others, there will be no way for Shikamaru to survive a series of violent attacks.
There was no retreat, no overestimation of one's capabilities, Shikamaru had no choice in any outcome that Karuyi expected. Just as the weapons of the three were about to come, Shikamaru had disappeared with the runes that suddenly appeared on his body.
In place.
He took out two kunai from his ninja bag and held them upside down in his hands. Samui, who rushed forward, was slightly startled when he saw this. His mind flashed, thinking that Shikamaru's position had not changed when he disappeared and appeared before.
Then he reminded his companions: "Be careful where he disappears!"
Omoi felt that the situation was a bit abnormal. Shikamaru's sudden attack on the Kumo ninjas was really unexpected. Not to mention these, it was still unknown whether other Konoha ninjas were also involved in this attack. But
He thought about it again, and felt that if Konoha was really ready to eradicate its side with all its strength, and had a long-famous ninja like Jiraiya sitting in charge, they would have taken action long ago without any reason. What is the reason for this situation now?
?
Maybe stay on the outside to block the rescue of the Mist ninja? Or prepare to take advantage of the opportunity to make a sneak attack? But doing so seems to be a bit outweighing the gains. Is the leader of Konoha so stupid?
Omoi frowned tightly. Although he was thoughtful, as Raikage once said about him, he always liked to worry about things. This kind of character always made him worry too much, and his chaotic thoughts made him accustomed to putting things aside.
The question became more complicated. He had not yet figured out the meaning of Shikamaru's actions. Darui, who was about the same age as him but was above him in terms of strength and position, seemed to have the answer. He gritted his teeth and said: "
Nara Shikamaru cannot be allowed to leave this compound, we must capture him or kill him before the ninjas from Kirigakure Village come, otherwise we will lose the face of Kirigakure Village!"
Killed a Jonin at the foothold of the Kumo Ninja, and then escaped safely under the siege. Regardless of how Konoha Village dealt with the consequences of Shikamaru's move, Kumogakure Village preceded Konoha Village, and in Kirigakure Village
Being labeled as "strong on the outside but hard on the inside" is not what Darui wants to see. If things really develop to this point, I'm afraid their negotiations with Kirigakure Village will be difficult.
Darui was making up his mind to stop Shikamaru's unscrupulous behavior, but he didn't expect a deafening explosion to suddenly come from the house behind several people. Under the loud noise, the billowing heat wave and shock wave almost overturned the roof.
The fragments of wood still carrying sparks fell everywhere, and the flames accompanied by the heat wave surrounded the Japanese-style house in the blink of an eye, and the thick smoke spread far into the night.
"Not good!" Darui roared with split eyes, "His target is the elder!"
Under the light of the fire, Samui and the others could vaguely see Shikamaru jumping out of the house that began to collapse and burn. He seemed to be holding something in one of his hands, but none of the Kumo ninjas could see anyone in the Hidden Cloud Village.
The movements of the elders.
The kunai that Shikamaru threw at Darui before was actually the coordinates of "Black Magic. Shifang"!
…………
When Shikamaru and Kumo-nin were fighting, the Kirigakure outside the courtyard where Kumo-nin was staying had already noticed something unusual. The loud noise caused by the explosion that destroyed the courtyard house spread throughout most of Kirigakure Village in the silent night.
, the bright fire and the rising black smoke also indicate that something big is going to happen in Kirigakure Village.
The difference between Kirigakure Village and prosperous villages like Konoha Village can be clearly seen at night. When night falls, most of the villagers who lack life at night have gone to bed to rest. A sudden explosion can be heard throughout the village.
As the Fifth Mizukage, Terumi Mei knows better than anyone how much panic and tension it has caused the villagers of Kirigakure Village.
"What's going on!?" When Terumi Mei had just finished her work and was about to fall asleep, she heard the explosion caused by Shikamaru. She suddenly stood up and came to the office window. She observed that the house lit by fire was glowing in the dark.
It looked very dazzling. When Terumi Mei saw this, his pupils couldn't help but shrink - that's where the Kumo ninja stayed!
When Ao arrived at the office building with an anxious look, Terumi Mei and others, who were also looking extremely anxious, were leaving the building. They didn't bother to stop and directly gathered together, with Ao simply giving a report.
In fact, there was nothing to report. Not much time had passed from when Shikamaru attacked Kumo Ninja to when the explosion occurred. The Kiri Ninja who was monitoring Kumo Ninja had not had time to report it to his superiors.
However, Ao just received the news, which came from the Mist Ninja who were monitoring everyone in Konoha. It is said that Nara Shikamaru, the jounin of Konoha Village, suddenly disappeared a few minutes ago. The Mist Ninja who were monitoring him have not found him yet.
His traces.
After listening to Ao's report quietly, Terumi Mei's pretty face was covered with frost. She only hoped that the explosion was just an accident caused by a Kumo ninja and that it was not the worst guess that came true.
Although the Kirigakure Village hopes to gain more benefits through competition between Konoha and Kumogakure, this does not mean that the Kirigakure Village hopes that the two parties will publicly tear their faces and fight within their own territory. Not only this
It would bring disgrace to Kirigakure Village, and it would also easily cause them to lose the opportunity to maintain an ambiguous attitude and rely on negotiations to fight for their own interests.
But when Terumi Mei and a group of Kiri ninjas arrived at the scene of the incident, her last illusion was shattered. Under the light of the fire, she stood proudly on the roof of a house, holding a boy with wide eyes and a distorted face.
If it’s not Nara Shikamaru, then who is it!?
"Bring the ninjas from Konoha Village over immediately!" Terumi Mei directed the Kiri ninja to put out the fire, surrounded Shikamaru's location, and then ordered in a deep voice to the subordinates beside him.
"Nara Shikamaru!" After Terumi Mei gave the order to his subordinates, he looked at the instigator of this chaotic incident with a stern expression. He seemed not to be worried about the fact that he was surrounded by Kiri Ninja, and always had a calm smile on his face.
Shikamaru asked in a cold voice: "Do you know what you are doing!?"
"Of course I know." Shikamaru glanced at the restless Cloud Ninjas and said in a calm tone. Now that the situation has been controlled by the Mist Ninjas, they are no longer needed to deal with Shikamaru. After all, this place belongs to the Mist Ninjas.
At home, Darui and others were in a dilemma: "I'm killing someone, couldn't you see it?"
"I don't care what grudges there are between Konoha Village and Kumogakure Village..." Terumi Mei's eyes flashed. She had suppressed her anger to some extent in her breathing, and her mind, which was indignant because of Shikamaru's unscrupulous actions, gradually regained its composure: "
This is not Konoha! This is Kirigakure Village! You'd better be at ease, otherwise, I won't let you go just because you are a Konoha ninja."
"There's no need for this." Shikamaru didn't care about Terumi Mei's threat at all, he shook his head slightly, and then threw the head of the elder Kumo ninja in his hand, and the round head rolled all the way to Terumi Mei's feet.
, the old face mixed with blood and soil was even more terrifying: "Why do you think I came here?" He and Jiraiya waited for the Konoha ninjas, twitching the corners of their mouths, with a hint of sarcasm in their smiles, and said: "
How can the light of day understand the depth of darkness at night? Mediocre people like you who are bound by layers of shackles of human feelings and worldly things will never have the great perseverance to implement the way of tolerance. To me, today is just a
It's a good time to test my talents and break away from the constraints of Konoha Village."
Shikamaru said, and took off the Konoha forehead protector tied to his arm, but did not throw it away immediately. He was still a little shaken in his heart. For a moment, he suddenly doubted what he had done.
Is everything worth it? Can his goal of ninja be achieved, and what is it all for?
At this time, a powerful enemy is on the side, and he has been surrounded by many people. If he is not careful, he will fall into death. Even if he survives, he will draw a clear line with his past life. Is it just for the illusory "Tao"!?
It's just that he is so hesitant now, what do those previous ambitions mean? Shikamaru laughed at himself in his heart. Just now he had shamelessly scolded everyone for being mediocre people who have no perseverance to implement the way of tolerance. Now, he has reached this step, but instead
Undecided?
The unity of knowledge and action, the unity of thoughts and thoughts, no foresight, no capriciousness, no guilt or self-blame, no doubt or hesitation, no anxiety and worry, unshakable faith, how can external things have anything to do with me? This is the way to pursue the Tao.
The heart and thoughts are like a mighty rainbow, running through everything and being unstoppable by all things.
Now that he has made up his mind to do so, why should he hesitate? Since he had already wanted to leave Konoha, he was not forced to do so at this time and was unwilling to do so.
Shikamaru smiled, and a stream of dark spiritual energy emerged from the right hand holding the forehead protector, covering the forehead protector completely. After this spiritual energy dissipated, there was only one left in his palm.
A pile of iron sand remains, and the Konoha forehead protector has disappeared.
"This is really God's arrangement." Shikamaru shook off the iron sand in his hand, raised his chin slightly, looked down at Darui and the others and said: "You intervened in the wrong incident at the wrong time, but you happened to be the one who made me happy.
A stepping stone to further progress.”
"Crazy talk!" Terumi Mei showed no mercy and waved to the Kiri ninja who was already ready to attack. A team of Kiri ninjas who were good at Taijutsu rushed towards Shikamaru.
Shikamaru sneered, and his body was gradually wrapped in dark spiritual energy, and runes appeared from it.
