When Shikamaru killed Kakuzu and stepped into the base of Oto Ninja Village again, he noticed something abnormal. The interior of the underground building was in chaos. When he found the body of the white phosphorus snake and the knife marks in the room, he noticed something strange.
After learning the information from a sound ninja, I finally understood why the situation developed to this point.
The commotion caused by the White Phosphorus Orochi had already been known to other sound ninjas in the base. When Uchiha Sasuke and Onito Suigetsu left, some sound ninjas also discovered Orochimaru's body. This immediately left the sound ninja village without a leader, and they didn't know how to save themselves.
at.
Some people believed that Orochimaru was dead, while others still believed that Orochimaru was still alive. No one dared to escape immediately, but they didn't know what to do.
Snapped!
The sound ninja was grabbed by the throat by Shikamaru and pressed against the wall. The spiritual energy gathered from Shikamaru's palm like water, covering the sound ninja's entire body, leaving only his head exposed.
"Orochimaru is not here, who is in charge here?" Shikamaru asked with a calm expression, but the power of illusions that constantly impacted the sound ninja's mind made his peaceful expression still look as ferocious as a demon in the eyes of the other party.
Orochimaru, who was forced to abandon the container, wanted to seize Uchiha Sasuke's body. Unfortunately, the time had not yet come. Did he prepare for the reincarnation ceremony? Judging from the current appearance, he had been suppressed or killed by Uchiha Sasuke, and Shikamaru had no interest in pursuing him.
After killing Sasuke, his focus was more on taking over Orochimaru's legacy.
"Hirano, Hirano Yasuo." Oto-nin replied hastily.
"Take me to him!" Shikamaru retracted his palm after hearing this. After the spiritual energy returned to his body, the sound ninja collapsed on the ground, sweating profusely, panting, and looked at Shikamaru with fearful eyes from time to time.
He resisted, maybe because he thought that Hirano Yasuo had more sound ninja around him, so he could capture Shikamaru.
It's just that Shikamaru didn't take the thoughts in his mind seriously. If the ninjas of Oto Ninja Village fled because of Orochimaru's death, they would probably wreak havoc in Tian Country, causing many troubles, and also causing trouble for Shikamaru.
Maru has caused a lot of trouble, so the top priority now is to stabilize these ninjas who have powers far beyond ordinary people.
After Shikamaru followed the sound ninjas to a gathering place of sound ninjas, what happened next seemed cliché and crude.
The power of intimidation, threats and oppression. For these ninjas who have been enslaved by Orochimaru for many years, it would be ridiculous to expect to use love and peace to influence them. The power and means to make them fear from the heart are the most direct.
An effective control method - after all, Shikamaru never really thought about leaving all the sound ninja behind.
After Shikamaru beheaded six noisy Sound ninja jounin in a breath, the sound ninja gathered in the hall became silent. They were shocked by the blood and killing. These ninjas who seemed unruly and unruly just a moment ago, are you?
In an instant, he became as quiet as a good baby.
"I will kill anyone who walks out of this hall!" Shikamaru said to the sound ninja gathered in the hall, throwing the head at his feet lightly.
Hirano Yasuo was also silent, but Shikamaru turned around and asked him, "Are you Hirano Yasuo?"
"...Yes." If it were not for a ninja who was willing to submit to power, Hirano Yasuo and many sound ninjas would not have been able to survive for so long under Orochimaru. At this time, hearing Shikamaru's question, Hirano Yasuo spoke fluently after a slight hesitation.
responded.
"I have killed Orochimaru. From today on, I am the leader of Sound Ninja Village. Do you understand?" Shikamaru stared at him and asked in a cold voice.
"..." A trace of struggle flashed across Hirano Yasuo's face, but seeing Shikamaru's eyes narrowing dangerously, he quickly replied, "I understand."
"Very good." Shikamaru could faintly feel in his heart whether the other party was lying. Although Hirano Yasuo's answer seemed to be unwilling, he was just worried that Orochimaru was not dead yet and would be retaliated against. He would wait until he really saw the White Phosphorus Orochi.
After looking at the corpse, you will understand that although he cannot be a loyal subordinate, he can still be regarded as a good assistant.
…………
Snapped!
Shikamaru closed the document in his hand, closed his eyes and began to think.
There are one hundred and seven ninjas in the Sound Ninja Village, seventeen jounin, sixty-two middle ninjas, and twenty-eight genin. However, according to the standards of Konoha Village, the level of these ninjas is estimated to be lowered by one level.
It is enough to suppress ordinary people, but it is too weak for the ninja villages of other countries. In the past, if Orochimaru, a strong man with almost the strength of the top five ninja villages, was not in charge, he would not have been able to defeat the grass ninja village.
The mortality rate of genin is very high, and it is constantly being replenished. Therefore, among the twenty-eight genin, many are barely stronger than ordinary people. However, after they are promoted to chuunin, they can have some protection. This is why chunin
The reason is that there are more ninja than jounin and genin combined.
Most of these ninjas gathered in the central yang stronghold where Shikamaru was located, while other ninjas were dispersed to garrison at other disposal bases.
Orochimaru has many strongholds and secret research institutes in Tiannokuni. Hirano Yasuo is not sure that he knows them all, but he does know the information about the southern stronghold and the northern secret research institute that Shikamaru is slightly interested in. He is also very aware of the current situation.
Information and intelligence on the central stronghold where it is located, including the location of Orochimaru's secret room.
Hirano Yasuo stood in the room with his hands hanging. He was unexpectedly young, with short gray hair, dark skin, handsome face, and a reserved expression. He didn't know Shikamaru's habits and personality yet, and he was worried about his ability to show off.
If it is not enough, it will not attract the attention of the other party, so it seems a little uneasy.
"From now on, no sound ninja is allowed to leave the base without my order. If any sound ninja escapes, I will only ask you." After Shikamaru thought for a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes and said to Hirano Yasuo in a deep voice.
The order said, "I will leave here temporarily and go to other strongholds to take a look. When I come back and find that you have not implemented my orders well, you will commit suicide and apologize - believe me, it will be easier for you that way."
The corner of Hirano Yasuo's eyes twitched slightly, he was surprised and happy. The task Shikamaru gave him showed that he was still valuable to Shikamaru, but the consequences of failure in the task were also serious. He never thought of taking the opportunity to escape and become Shikamaru.
After Maru revealed his identity to him, Hirano Yasuo knew that he had no hope of escaping or competing. He was a genius who became famous in the ninja world at the age of thirteen, and was known as the "Shika Kamigakure" boy. He and other sound ninjas had no hope of escape.
Looking back, especially after seeing the body of the white phosphorous snake, his remaining hope was finally completely shattered.
…………
The southern stronghold is actually a prison where Orochimaru is specially used to hold prisoners, and the manager here is Shikamaru's acquaintance, Xianglan from Kusanagi Village. Perhaps Orochimaru is interested in his sensory ability, which can prevent fugitives from appearing.
, but these are not important to Shikamaru.
Compared to Jugo of the North Esoteric Institute, Shikamaru cares more about Koso, who is a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, so this is his first destination after leaving the central yang stronghold.
The stronghold is just like Orochimaru's previous style, it is hidden deep underground, it is cold and damp, and you can also smell a pungent odor.
Kaoru noticed the anomaly almost as soon as Shikamaru entered the stronghold. She felt unbelievable at first and couldn't understand why Shikamaru appeared here, but this familiar chakra was simply embedded in her mind.
It is absolutely impossible to go wrong.
She was hesitant in her heart. The Zhongyang stronghold was controlled by Shikamaru immediately. The news of Orochimaru's murder had not spread yet. As a result, Xianglan didn't know how to face Shikamaru now.
Should he leave with him, or... Xiang Ling was struggling, but he was shocked to realize that the Shikamaru chakra in his perception suddenly disappeared, and then appeared in another place. With the transfer of Shikamaru's chakra, it represented the sound.
The energy of enduring life dissipates one by one.
"Oops." After sensing that Shikamaru had killed the last Sound Ninja, Kokoro couldn't help but tremble. She hadn't been overwhelmed by longing, and knew that she had only had unrequited love all along, and she didn't know why Shikamaru came here.
The purpose is to still miss the old love, or to raise the murderous butcher knife?
Shikamaru didn't understand Kosobi's uneasy mood. He had never thought of relying on the sound ninja to help him complete the change. The reason why he appeased the ninjas in the central yang stronghold was just to prevent them from causing trouble. The sound ninja in the southern stronghold would actually be killed by Orochi.
If Maru is sent, he can at least guarantee a certain level of loyalty, and Shikamaru will naturally not leave anyone alive.
Following the information obtained from the sound ninja, Shikamaru slowly walked to the room where Karin was.
boom!
Kaoru noticed that Shikamaru paused outside the door, and was feeling a little confused. Unexpectedly, the door was suddenly pushed open by Shikamaru from the outside. Shikamaru, with a smile on his face, strode into the room and faced Tankou.
The slightly opened Xiang Lu said: "We meet again, Xiang Lu."
He still remembers me! Xiang Ling was secretly happy, but she looked very reserved on her face. She frowned and said, "Shikamaru? Why are you here?" She deliberately looked at the damaged door, "And it's very dangerous for you to do so.
Not polite!"
Shikamaru was no longer what he used to be. His thinking was unprecedentedly clear. His every move, the momentary dodge of his eyes and the subtle changes in his expression could not be hidden in his eyes, and they deceived him.
So that was the case. Shikamaru was slightly startled. After feeling Kosu's true attitude, he suddenly felt that his original rhetoric and methods were no longer needed. He said directly: "Come with me, Kosu, I need your help."
"If you are worried about Orochimaru, don't worry, he is already dead." Seeing that Xianglan did not answer immediately, he continued: "And I am not begging you now. You should understand that you have no right to bargain."
"Come with me, or I will leave with your body." Shikamaru said in a calm, even cold voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Phosphorus stumbled back two steps as if he had been hit hard, and sat on a chair, his face as pale as paper.
