Chapter 252: Furious, the Konoha ninjas were aware of it. When Terumi Mei ordered the Kirigakure ninjas to inform them, they rushed over without delay. By the time they arrived at the scene of the incident, the Kirigakure ninjas had already
Shikamaru was surrounded, and he looked like he couldn't hide his anger. Jiraiya, who was standing quietly next to him, was silent from beginning to end, and the torches and lights set up by the mist ninja around him shone on his face.
on his face, making his face look a little cloudy and uncertain, not knowing what he was thinking.
"He may know space ninjutsu!" Regardless of the thoughts of everyone in Konoha, after Shikamaru suddenly disappeared from the place, Darui quickly came to Terumi Mei's side and warned in a deep voice.
Terumi Mei's face turned blue and white, Shikamaru killed the Kumo ninja elder who came to negotiate on behalf of the Raikage in Kirigakure Village. If he left unharmed like this, not only Kumogakure Village, but also Kirigakure Village would be discredited.
"Ao, see if he's still around here!" Although Darui guessed that Shikamaru possessed some kind of space-time ninjutsu, Terumi Mei would not give up the search and sternly ordered to his right-hand assistant, and then
Turn around and face the young elder in the transfer bed!" Terumi Mei's pretty face seemed to be covered with frost, and she said unkindly to the young elder in the transfer bed: "Nara Shikamaru's behavior is a provocation to the Kirigakure Village!"
b said this, pursed his lips, and finally squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "If you want to explain, then I can give my answer on this - from today on, Nara Shikamaru is no longer Konoha
The village's ninja!" Locke Lee behind him suddenly changed color when he heard this sentence. He wanted to step forward and say something, but suddenly felt his arms sinking. Looking back, he saw that Neji and Aburame Shino were actually there.
They grabbed his forearm in unison and looked at him with a gloomy expression.
"Li." Ri pulled the impulsive Rock Li to Neji and lowered his voice and said, "Do you still remember the test questions that Shikamaru asked during the chunin exam?"
Yes, a qualified leader does not need to be an absolute saint or an absolute villain. He only needs to make the right choice at the right time, even if the consequence of this choice is self-sacrifice.
Rock Lee shook off Aburame Shinoka's words somewhat rudely.
No matter what Rock Lee and the other ninjas of Shikamaru's class think, they cannot avoid the fact that Shikamaru is the leader among them, and he does bear more responsibilities than them.
It was Shikamaru who captured the decapitating sword, it was Shikamaru who defeated the Shukaku Jinchuuriki, and it was Shikamaru who found the Fifth Hokage...
If the test questions that Shikamaru asked during the written test of the Chunin Examination only gave Rock Lee a vague understanding of the concepts of "self-sacrifice" and "leadership", Shikamaru's behavior now has finally made him truly
Understand that the gap between you and Shikamaru cannot be caught up with just hard work.
This was Shikamaru's choice. Rock Lee kept breathing heavily, but his heart gradually became clearer. He quickly cut through the mess and broke the ambiguous relationship between Kirigakure, Konoha and Kumogakure, causing Kirigakure to lose the opportunity to have both sides.
To prevent Konoha Village from playing a disgraceful role in this incident and being criticized by both Cloud Hidden Village and Kirigakure Village, they announced their rebellion in public and removed Konoha Village from the incident. This is Lu
The choice Maru made.
The dispute between the two countries and the Ninja Village has become Shikamaru's "private grudge". It not only ensures the interests of Konoha Village, but also prevents Konoha Village from falling into criticism. It is indeed a clever plan.
But this was too unfair to Shikamaru. Rock Lee kicked the pebbles under his feet angrily, feeling an urge to destroy things. The days of training with Shikamaru during the Chunin Exams were still vivid in his mind.
, he has never admired a talented peer so much, probably because the other person has a toughness no less than his own, but this young man who once competed with him in push-ups with a smile when he was discouraged has fallen into ruin.
On the edge. Don’t the elders understand what kind of sacrifices Shikamaru made, and how he decided Shikamaru’s future so easily and arbitrarily? Rock Lee still finds it difficult to accept the attitude of sleeping with Chun, and treating other people’s sacrifices so lightly.
Of course?
"Shikamaru shouldn't have made this choice..." Rock Lee muttered to himself. Only Shino Aburame and Neji Rikuka who were very close to him could vaguely hear his voice.
After Aburame Shino heard Rock Lee's words, she followed his gaze and found that Rock Lee's eyes were on the tall Jiraiya, which shocked him.
I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but Aburame Shino suddenly felt that there seemed to be a hint of dissatisfaction in Rock Lee's tone just now? He remembered what Shikamaru had said during the Chunin Examination about the Second Hokage's choice to sacrifice, and thought of Shikamaru again.
The scene where Maru was scolded by Jiraiya for suggesting something when they first arrived at the hotel.
The one who made the choice was Shikamaru, who had more promise and future, rather than Jiraiya, who had passed his peak and was on the decline. It was really ironic, Aburame Shino thought with some complicated thoughts. Jiraiya didn't think of it, but he still thought of it.
But don’t want to do it?
Of course, Jiraiya is not as unbearable as Shino Aburame thought, but people are all emotional animals. Compared to Jiraiya, who has never communicated with him at all, Shikamaru, who was a classmate and friend, is obviously closer to Shino Aburame.
, of course, Aburame Shino hopes that under unavoidable circumstances, the person who makes the sacrifice is not his friend Shikamaru, but Jiraiya, who has been famous for many years. The Darui who said this almost gritted his teeth and asked: "He is just like this
A man comes here and kills people like crazy!? You don’t know anything about his sudden disappearance!?”
Darui did not believe that the Kirigakure Village would allow a Jonin like Shikamaru to roam around in the village. He would definitely arrange for him to live with the Konoha ninjas and monitor him secretly. For the Konoha ninjas, the sudden disappearance was a big deal.
People, don't they notice any abnormalities at all? What's more, there is Jiraiya in the team of Konoha Village. When he opened his mouth, he already responded in a deep voice: "Not only among peers, even in the entire Konoha, it is very rare."
Very few people can match his talent. Even I, apart from my ridiculous age, can't match his talent. What's more, even I don't know when he learned the space ninjutsu."
Jiraiya's tone was sincere, and it was rare for him to say that he was not as good as Shikamaru. He really didn't know when Shikamaru learned the space ninjutsu, and how he left the hotel where they stayed without being discovered. Unfortunately, Daru
In the ears of Yi and others and Terumi Mei, they naturally felt that this was Jiraiya and Konoha's quibble.
Darui wanted to say something, but suddenly Ao, who had been trying to sense Shikamaru's traces, suddenly spoke, and whispered to Mi Mei in surprise: "I found Nara Shikamaru! He is staying not far outside the gate.
!”
Not leaving!?
Everyone in the field was a little surprised and uncertain. This situation undoubtedly confirmed Shikamaru's guess that he knew space ninjutsu, but why he still hasn't left is really puzzling. He waited for the Konoha ninja to take a look, then turned to the Kiri ninja and ordered: "Every department
Immediately impose martial law and maintain a state of alert, elder, Jiraiya-senpai." After Terumi Mei issued a series of orders, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Xiaochun and Jiraiya who were sleeping and said: "I really want to believe Konoha
Village, so in order to prove your sincerity, please don't interfere in the next thing. After all, Nara Shikamaru is now the rebel ninja of Konoha Village, isn't he?" After pondering for a moment, Terumi Mei heard this and raised his eyebrows.
He frowned and added: "It's just that he is now in the land of water, so Kirigakure Village naturally has the right to capture him." He was unwilling to agree that Kirigakure Village had the right to capture Shikamaru. After all, a ninja has the hidden power of Ninjamura Tai.
There are many secrets, but now they are in the territory of another country and have committed major crimes. Everyone in Konoha cannot prevent the other party from exercising their own laws. They can only give this answer, but only when Shikamaru is in the country of water. The implication:
"I will deliver Nara Shikamaru or his body to the Leaf Village."
"Mizukage-sama." Darui heard the conversation of several people clearly, and suddenly interrupted: "Nara Shikamaru relied on a sneak attack to kill our elder and a companion. It is not Kirigakure Ichimura's job to capture him.
things."
"Since he regards Kumoyin Village as nothing, he must be prepared to pay with blood." Samyi said: "No matter who is trying to protect Nara Shikamaru..."
Karui looked at the ugly-faced Locke Li coldly, and said to Neji and Aburame Shino: "...That means being an enemy of Yunyin Village!"
The position of Yunyin Village at this time is a bit embarrassing. Shikamaru had just killed a jounin and an elder. It could be said that it was slapped loudly. They besieged Shikamaru, but they didn't even hurt him.
No matter what, Kumo Shinobi will inevitably be looked down upon by Kirigakure Village.
Darui and others do not know what kind of diplomatic means Yunyin Village will use to face Kirigakure Village next, and they are not qualified to make a decision, but one thing they can be sure of.
They must restore the reputation of the Kumo ninja and capture or even kill Nara Shikamaru.
Mei Terumi looked at the firm gazes of Darui and the others. After a slight hesitation, she nodded in agreement and ordered the two Mist ninjas: "Ao, Chojuro, you two will follow the Kumo ninjas."
