The room that had not seen sunlight for a long time seemed a little damp and cold, and the air was accompanied by the pungent smell of formaldehyde. Most of the people walking around in the room were dressed up in weird and tight clothes, and the distance between them was obvious.
This secret room built underground in a small city is completely incompatible with the bustling environment outside.
Bang!
A man wearing a large windbreaker and a hood suddenly opened the door to the room. The few people still staying in the room almost immediately turned their attention to the visitor with wary expressions, only to notice that the man was wearing a
A Taki Ninja with a scratch in the middle was protecting his forehead. Although some people were still on guard, the expression of a tall man sitting behind a wooden table became much more relaxed.
"Are you short of money?" The tall man wore a khaki coat, had a big bald head, and two shocking scars on his forehead. With his face full of flesh, he looked very fierce, but now he looked very different from the one who came.
Familiar, he walked up to him with a friendly look, said hello, glanced at the large bag that was almost as tall as a person carrying behind him, and joked: "Are you here to 'send money' to me again?"
"This joke is not funny at all." The man wearing the Taki Ninja Village Rebel Ninja forehead protector had a mask on his face, which made his voice sound a bit dull when he spoke: "You are reminding me that every time I complete a task, you
Everyone will make a fortune from me."
"We deserve this." The tall man smiled nonchalantly. Although the man in front of him was very mysterious, he had been an 'old customer' whom he had been in contact with for many years. Although he was a little greedy for money, he was very disciplined and had high strength.
, he is also willing to deliberately make friends: "And you know, we only take a small part each time."
The rebellious ninja from Taki Ninja Village rolled his eyes and was too lazy to answer. He just put the big bag he was carrying in one hand on the cold floor and said slightly impatiently: "Inspection."
Talking about work, the tall man couldn't help but become serious. He took a thick file book from the wooden table behind him, squatted down and opened the bag on the ground, and a bloodless and ferocious face was suddenly exposed to the air.
.
The white eyes and bluish skin proved that this person had obviously been dead for a long time. The tall bald man didn't care. He just carefully examined the appearance and characteristics of the corpse, and from time to time he looked at the file book to compare.
.
The rebellious ninja of Taki Ninja Village was idly observing the wall behind the bald man's desk. There was a long row of wanted posters posted on it, ranked by the amount of bounty. Taki Ninja was already a frequent visitor here.
The traitorous ninja has already memorized the top ten information. These ten people are all ruthless and majestic characters in the current ninja world. Some of them are still his current companions. It has been a long time since anyone has been able to do so.
Their "foundation" has been shaken, but today it seems that the person with the highest reward has actually been replaced?
"What's going on? 'No.1' gave way?" The rebellious ninja from Taki Ninja Village let out a sigh, and stepped forward to look at the information on the wanted order. The picture showed a stern-looking young man with a slender figure and a smile on his face.
With a calm and mature temperament that belies his age, he is looking forward with bright eyes.
"Nara Shikamaru..." The traitor Ninja of Taki Ninja Village read the information on the wanted order softly, looking very interested: "Thirteen years old, former Konoha Ninja Murakami Ninja, leader of the torture and interrogation team, S-class traitor Ninja
, evaluation—extremely dangerous….”
"Who is this kid!? Why is the bounty so high?" The eyes of the traitor of Taki Ninja Village almost shined. He seemed to see a lot of colorful paper floating in front of his eyes - those were banknotes.
"You don't know what happened recently?" The bald man had already inspected the body. After instructing his subordinates to carry it down, he came to the rebel ninja of Taki Ninja Village and stood side by side with him, also looking at the deer.
Maru's wanted notice said: "This guy is a ruthless person. Don't underestimate him just because he is young. Now several ninja villages are quarreling because of him."
"Do you have any information for sale?" asked the traitorous ninja from Taki Ninja Village.
"It's not a secret. You don't need to pay." The tall man waved his hand generously and explained: "Not long ago, the Kingdom of Water was established. Konoha Village and Yunyin Village simultaneously sent a team to the fog.
Hidden Village, ended up bumping into each other."
"This guy is the leader of the Konohagakure diplomatic team. I don't know what he is thinking..." The tall man pointed at Shikamaru's wanted notice, and said with admiration and amusement: "He will go to Yun Ninja that night.
At the place where he stayed, he killed the elders of Kumogakure and killed a Jonin of Kumogakure, causing quite a stir. He even provoked Kumogakure, Kirigakure and even Konoha's ninjas on the spot after the incident."
"Then Kirigakure Village sent a total of eleven ninjas out - there are at least four jounin among them." The tall man touched his bald head and continued: "In addition to the two jonins from Kirigakure Village and
Two chunin, a total of fifteen ninjas are chasing this guy in the Land of Water."
"He ran away?" Taki Ninja, the village traitor, interjected and guessed.
"More than that!" The tall man sneered when he heard this and replied: "They were fighting in a forest. He asked him to kill all the ninjas in Kumogakure. Only two chunin from Kirigakure came back from the forest in shock.
When he arrived at the village, he also lost one of the legendary Seven Ninja Swords. The only result of the battle was to slightly injure the opponent. However, this guy's information showed that he was proficient in medical ninjutsu. This minor injury would probably be healed in the blink of an eye...
..., well, by the way, he is also proficient in space ninjutsu, and now some people in the outside world call him 'Shenyin' - he is only thirteen years old, he is really a monster."
In addition to the widely circulated legend, "Kamiyin" can also be understood as "the disappearance of God", or "God makes you disappear", which is used to describe Shikamaru who is proficient in space ninjutsu and became famous in the forest battle.
, which is also quite appropriate.
"...Genius!" The rebellious ninja from Taki Ninja Village looked at the tall man and sighed with emotion. He seemed to be sighing that he was already old. He subconsciously touched his chin. He was well-informed and experienced in combat. He also understood the deer.
Seeing how extraordinary Maru's victory was, Shikamaru had to admit that Shikamaru was indeed worthy of such a high bounty, so he asked the tall man again: "Isn't there a more detailed description of the battle process?"
"No, I only have a battle briefing here." The tall man shrugged. Of course, he did not get the information from Kirigakure Village. The incident caused by Shikamaru involves the diplomacy of the Land of Fire and the Land of Thunder, and Mei Terumi cannot hide it.
The daimyo of the country naturally had to report the incident, and the organization to which the tall man belonged had obtained the general information by bribing the cronies of the daimyo of the country of water.
"Isn't his bounty so high? Who paid the bounty?" The rebellious ninja from Taki Ninja Village asked in confusion: "And Kumo Hidden Village and Kirigakure Village did not hold Konoha Village responsible for this matter?
Kumogakure’s entire diplomatic team is dead!”
"You know the rules!" The tall man did not answer the other party's question and refused without any room for negotiation. Although it is a bit confusing to talk about reputation with the black market, but this is the fact. The black market pays great attention to protecting the employer's information. This is why they can
The reason why each ninja village lives in the cracks is that after all, many of their employers are shady.
"Do you have any detailed information that he has compiled? Give me one." Taki Ninja, the village rebel, didn't care about the other party's attitude at all, he just asked.
"Of course," the tall man nodded and asked happily, "Are you interested in taking on this task?"
Most of the financial resources of the bald man's organization come from a portion of the task rewards. In other words, when the other party completes tasks with high bounties, they can also get more money, so it is no wonder that he is happy at this time.
.
"I am very interested in this character." The rebellious ninja from Taki Ninja Village took two steps forward, pulled down Shikamaru's wanted notice, and said impatiently: "Hurry up and pay the mission reward, and then give the information
Come on, the air here is really bad!"
When the tall man saw that another big 'order' had been taken, he couldn't help but rubbed his hands excitedly and replied: "No problem, Kakuzu!"
…………
Not to mention the fact that a notorious traitorous ninja was targeting Shikamaru, many well-informed ninjas have noticed that the ninja world has not been peaceful recently. All Konoha ninjas, including Jiraiya, have returned to the village.
, but the aftermath of this incident has not yet passed.
Konoha Village, Kumogakure Village and Kirigakure Village are accusing each other, especially Kumogakure Village. As Kakuzu said, their diplomatic team is composed of an elder and the five most outstanding talents in the village.
The team died inexplicably outside the village like this, becoming another stepping stone for another ninja to become famous in the ninja world. How could they accept this fact so easily!?
As a result of the annihilation of Darui and others, Yunyin Village's understanding of the whole incident was informed by Kirigakure Village. Coupled with his own inquiries, the latter was not clear, and the former always made Yunyin know.
Shinobu feels that it is not true - now there are even many ninjas in Kumogakure Village who think that Kirigakure and Konoha may have formed a secret alliance, and all this is a conspiracy against Kumogakure.
After all, Darui and others were killed in Kirigakure Village. Kirigakure should at least bear the responsibility of poor supervision. However, Kirigakure was also particularly dissatisfied with this. They were also victims, although Terumi Mei and some wise people knew better.
Yunyin Village's attitude is indeed normal, but this does not mean
The other Kiri ninjas will not be dissatisfied because of this - Shikamaru's merciless killing caused them to lose a Byakugan and the famous sword "Hirame Solitari", as well as many outstanding ninjas. The losses may not be much smaller than Kumogakure.
, and this incident also discredited their reputation.
In any case, the alliance between Cloud Hidden Village and Kirigakure Village must have come to nothing, let alone the concerted effort to attack Konoha Village in the Country of Fire.
Speaking of Konoha Village, this Ninja Village, which cannot be said to be the winner or loser in this incident, was often criticized by Kirigakure and Kumogakure. However, when Konoha Village issued a wanted order for Nara Shikamaru in a very short period of time,
After the official statement has been made, this accusation has been somewhat alleviated - although it has successfully prevented the alliance between Kumogakure Village and Kirigakure Village, Konoha Village has lost the amazing strength and potential revealed in this incident, thus
The young man who is about to become famous is far from a winner.
Shikamaru's declaration in a public place in Kirigakure Village sounded a bit nonsense at first, and his behavior and purpose seemed very artificial. However, for ninjas based on chakra, the higher the level of ninja, the more
Appearing to be idealistic, they all have their own unique set of values and outlook on life, which is the so-called "Tolerance". In order to follow their own path, they are often incredibly paranoid. Coupled with the pressure of high-risk occupations, over the years, various
Ninja Village has never lacked some absurd or even crazy ninjas. The most famous ones in Konoha Village in recent decades are Orochimaru and Uchiha Itachi. The former killed his mentor, the Third Hokage, and personally planned the invasion of Konoha Village.
In the battle, the latter even killed all the clan members and was extremely crazy. Kumogakure and Kirigakure could not say that Konoha Village must have premeditated and arranged for Shikamaru to attack Kumo Ninja. After all, their Ninja Villages had also experienced this kind of thing that was difficult to explain with common sense.
its characters.
However, regarding the involvement of Kumogakure and Kirigakure in the capture of Nara Shikamaru, Konohagakure appeared very tough and clearly informed Kirigakure and Kumogakure that Konohagakure did not need to do this from beginning to end.
When outsiders intervene, they can only provide information, but do not have the right to take action - at least the right to take action on the surface. The Leaf Village itself actually knows it well, and they cannot completely restrain themselves from being slapped severely by Shikamaru.
Kirigakure and Kumogakure didn't make any move after being slapped, and the reward for Shikamaru's head on the black market remained high. This was actually due to Kirigakure and Kumogakure's contribution.
