"I'll go with you." After murmuring, Xianglan adjusted his glasses in a panic and said to Shikamaru, "What about the prisoners here?"
"How many ninjas are there here?" Shikamaru asked.
"Not many. They are all locked up in the dungeon alone, separated from the ordinary prisoners." Xiang Liao responded quickly. It seemed that he knew all the information in the stronghold.
"First let go of the ordinary prisoners with me." Shikamaru turned around and walked out of the room, giving an order to Karin at the same time.
A trace of struggle flashed in Xiang Lian's eyes, but her reason told her that no matter what Shikamaru's attitude was, she had no chance to disobey or even escape, so she grabbed the key by the door and quickly caught up with Shikamaru.
To Orochimaru, these prisoners trapped in the southern stronghold are just experimental materials, and they are also the cheapest. The living conditions behind bars are extremely poor, and they are precarious. It is unknown when Orochimaru's hard work will come to him, and he will be needed.
If you conduct human experiments, their lives will end.
Trouble and despair consumed the hearts of these people, and most of their eyes had lost their luster. The sound of Shikamaru and Karin walking into the corridor only attracted a few prisoners to turn their heads, while the others were as silent as statues.
It's hard to extricate yourself in your own world.
Kaoru wanted to step forward and use the key to open the door lock, but Shikamaru condensed chakra to form a blade, and with a light stroke on the wooden fence, the door was opened. The thick wooden fence hit the ground with a loud noise, and finally caused a
The attention of all prisoners.
"You're free." Shikamaru said calmly, but the prisoners still looked at each other and hesitated, as if there was something terrible outside the prison.
"Orochimaru was killed by me, you can rest assured." Shikamaru explained unhurriedly: "You can leave Tianzhi Country, or you can stay here, but from today on, Tianzhi Country will be controlled by me.
Control, do you understand?"
After Shikamaru finished speaking, he opened the doors of several cells one after another, then ignored the hesitating prisoners and left with the phosphorus.
Most of these people are adults with their own established values. The young ones have been taken away by Orochimaru. Shikamaru has no interest in accepting and cultivating them. It is best to leave Tian Country, but if you stay here, you must obey him.
will.
No one in Tian Country is an exception, especially those ninjas or samurai who maintain their own strength.
Most of the ninjas imprisoned by Orochimaru were just ordinary chunin, and there were not even a few jounin. Shikamaru looked down upon them. Originally, he was going to kill all these ninjas, but after thinking for a while, he decided to let some go.
People, help him spread the news.
Compared with the cells where ordinary prisoners are located, it is located deeper underground. The dungeon where ninjas are imprisoned is obviously more strict. As Xiang Phosphorus said, the walls of the rooms here are blocked by steel plates, and ninjas who are skilled in earth escape cannot escape from this.
get away.
"Which ninja from a ninja village is this?" Shikamaru walked down the steps and came to the first iron door. He looked through the small window at the young man with an anklet inside and asked Xiang Lian without looking back.
.
"This is a native ninja from Tian Country." Xiang Lian tilted his head and thought for a moment before giving the answer.
"How many ninjas are there in the five great ninja villages?" Shikamaru frowned slightly after hearing this and continued to ask.
"Four." Xiang Ling quickly replied, "Two Iwagakure, one Kumogakure, and one Sunagakure, all Chunin, in rooms No. 4, No. 7, No. 9 and No. 10 respectively."
Shikamaru nodded in thought, and suddenly used the Rasengan to break the door. Before the ninja in the cell had time to react, he used "Black Magic: Thousand Genres" to transform a sharp blade into his throat and pierced his throat.
The sudden change made Kaoru feel at a loss. It was only when a pool of blood had formed under the body of the young ninja that he realized what he was doing and asked Shikamaru: "What are you doing!?"
"Kill." Shikamaru responded briefly. At the same time, he walked to the next iron gate and repeated his old tricks to kill the prisoners inside. These ninjas who had been imprisoned for a long time were at a low point both in will and desire. Naturally, they were not Shikamaru's.
Opponent, but a moment later, except for the four ninjas from the five major ninja villages who were pointed out by Xiang Phosphorus, the rest of the ninjas were killed by Shikamaru one by one. Blood flowed out of the cell and gathered in the corridor, making people everywhere.
Body is cold.
Click!
A crisp sound of the door lock popping open sounded from the dungeon, but this time Shikamaru opened the iron door and did not go in to kill the ninja imprisoned inside.
"Come out!" Shikamaru said loudly after opening the four iron doors with keys one after another. Seeing that the people inside were still hesitant to open the iron doors, he shouted.
The mental state of these ninjas is not much better than that of ordinary prisoners that Shikamaru has seen before. Facing Orochimaru, these ninjas who have far more strength than ordinary people are just better experimental materials. Facing the irresistible force
When there is power, the reaction is only slightly stronger than that of ordinary people.
There was silence in the dungeon for a moment, and the four iron doors were finally slowly pushed open from the inside. However, when one of the iron doors opened, a figure suddenly jumped out and came to the corridor to form seals with his hands, preparing to use ninjutsu.
"Black magic. Absolute sound!"
It's a pity that this man's seal technique was only half completed when Shikamaru rushed to him like a whirlwind. The stone floor even shattered in front of the power coming from under his feet. The spiritual energy in his right arm had already
Condensed into a long curved blade.
laugh!
The numbing sound of bone and flesh tearing was heard immediately. The other three ninjas who pushed open the iron door and walked into the corridor immediately took Shikamaru and recorded their power. Only then did the overestimating ninja finally see you again.
Given the opportunity, Shikamaru beheaded him in front of the prison door.
"The reason why you were not killed by me like other prisoners is just because you are still of some use to me." Shikamaru took two steps back, avoiding the blood flowing from the body of the deceased, and faced the three pale ninjas who were facing him.
He said in a loud voice, "You are free, but there are preconditions for all this."
"I want you to leave Tian Country without stopping, and at the same time inform the outside world of these words——." Shikamaru looked around at the three ninjas in turn, and said word by word: "From now on, no more ninjas are allowed to enter the country.
If anyone dares to violate the laws of the country of Iruda, including Konoha, Sunagakure, Kumogakure, Iwagakure and Kirigakure, I, Nara Shikamaru, will chop off their heads and throw their bodies into the wilderness!"
"I will do what I say." Shikamaru smiled solemnly, his tone cold.
…………
"What on earth are you going to do!?" In the spiritual space, the eight-tailed bull waved its huge fist at Shikamaru's transformed evil spirit, and asked in a loud voice, "Are you planning to provoke the five ninja villages at the same time?
"
After the matter at the southern stronghold was settled, Shikamaru took Karin and rushed to the northern secret research institute where Tenpira Jugo was located. During the break on the road, Shikamaru began to meditate and started fighting against the fierce bull again.
This kind of battle has been going on for a long time, so many times that Bulldog can't even remember it clearly. It seems to have gradually become Shikamaru's habit. As long as the two of them meet, Bulldog will know that it is time to restart the war.
He had never won, but he couldn't be killed by Shikamaru. As time went by, he even gradually felt numb, and the battle gradually changed from a silent fight to an occasional conversation.
"Any country or ninja village that seeks to rise needs to gain dignity on the battlefield. Today's five major ninja villages, as well as those small ninja villages with little reputation, all have a powerful leader at the beginning of their establishment.
"Zi Zongheng sees the battlefield." Shikamaru replied: "Unless the Five Shadows are willing to risk the emptiness of the base camp and come in person, no matter how many ninjas come, they will only allow me to add one stroke to my honor book."
"But you are talking about the 'ninja village'." Although the eight-tailed bull is sealed in Shikamaru's body, it can also sense some information from the outside world through him, and Shikamaru's actions cannot be hidden from it. "You are slaughtering and
Expelling the ninjas from this country, you have no real intention to establish a ninja village. Are you planning to control this country on your own? Even Orochimaru is just using the resources here, what is your purpose!?"
Bang!
The fierce bull was not paying attention for a moment, and Shikamaru grabbed his horns, and his head was pressed hard to the ground by Shikamaru.
"Give all your power to me, surrender to me, and I will tell you the answer." Shikamaru dodged the struggling hands and tail of the bull and said in a deep voice, "I will lead you to a place that is unimaginable even by the Six Paths Sage.
Realm, I will become..., God!"
The fierce bull was startled for a moment, then struggled violently to escape from Shikamaru, looked at him and said: "You are crazy!"
"Real ninjas are indeed like madmen in the eyes of outsiders. They have difficulty understanding their way of ninja and cannot believe that there is a person in the world who can be so devoted to their ideals." Shikamaru heard this and did not pursue him. He smiled slightly and asked: "You
Calling me crazy is just because you have never understood me, my way of tolerance, and my ideals."
"My original ideal was to become a teacher, teach and educate people, but as I grew older, this conflicted with my desire to stand out and become a master, so I chose a more utilitarian path." Han Niu said quietly.
Listening, Shikamaru paused when he said this.
In his previous life, he came from a poor mountainous area. His mother, who was abducted by traffickers, committed suicide when he was in infancy. His adoptive father treated him harshly. He was still unable to speak when he was six years old. He was discriminated against and humiliated until a volunteer teacher arrived.
He once fantasized about becoming a teacher, but when he stepped into the big city, he experienced a series of events. As he grew older, he finally chose a more utilitarian path. However, he would not elaborate on these things with Xianniu in his previous life.
.
"I have seen civilians who were full of passion until their edges were smoothed out by reality, and I have also seen people at the bottom who have abandoned their dignity because of hardship. I have seen people who have no hope and have never had ideals. They only have the instinct to seek business to satisfy their hunger.
'People' have also met lucky people who were born rich and noble, people who felt they were superior to others, and even once became one of them."
"I noticed this and felt confused and panicked, because I knew that I had been one of those people who had been ridiculed and bullied, but I was much luckier than them and had such an opportunity, but even so, I still I paid a sacrifice that is unimaginable for ordinary people." Shikamaru laughed at himself, "This gave rise to strong anger and indignation. Jealousy and desire for destruction almost destroyed my sanity. I wanted to destroy this system, and I also firmly believed that This idea of mine is righteous."
"But then I realized that just having the heart to destroy is not enough. I am just a thug and an executioner. How can I say justice?" Shikamaru continued, "I must build a new system to replace it, so as not to let people An act of overthrowing decay turned into an atrocity of murder.”
"But there is no perfect system in this world, only relatively excellent and complete systems. Human beings are progressing, society is progressing, the world is changing, and the same is true for systems." Shikamaru said. In ancient times, killing cattle was a major sin, and many Religions also indicate the guilt of killing cows, and even worship cows as gods. This is because of agricultural civilization, and the importance of cattle to food cannot be replaced. However, in the era of industrial development, it is obviously impractical and has become a burden. "After the death of the Six Paths Sage, chaos began to arise. The first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, assigned tailed beasts in the hope of forming a peaceful situation. However, after his death, another mode of war broke out in the ninja world... How can I guarantee that after my death, my successor will Will the people who make rules and systems become the kind of people I am committed to destroying because of their privacy and loopholes? Who can supervise them? Before the emergence of ninjas, people's anger and resistance can still make people wake up and fear them. Ninjas After it appears, no matter how many ordinary people there are, there will be no chance of confrontation, so how far can the civilian supervisory power go?"
"Finally, I came to the answer - I must become the guardian of the system I created, a supreme supervisory force. People must believe in me, respect me, and fear me, making me a sharp sword hanging over their heads." Deer. Maru concluded in a deep voice: "I must become a god!"
Even the Eight-Tailed Bull, after hearing Shikamaru's remarks, still felt indescribable shock. He was stunned for a long time, and then asked: "If you put yourself in the supreme position, then who can stop you from doing whatever you want?" !?"
"Don't you understand?" Shikamaru smiled calmly and said softly: "When I first changed my life purpose and decided not to become a teacher, but to make a difference, I gave up my passion for repaying my benefactors and watching the smiling faces of children. I am so moved - there is never a perfect choice in this world, and it is unclear what is right and what is wrong, the difference is just what I choose to sacrifice."
"What did you choose to sacrifice!?" asked the fierce bull.
Shikamaru's smile did not change when he heard this, he raised his finger and pointed at his chest, and answered: "Emotions."
If he wants to become a god, a supreme supervisor and protector instead of a slave, he must ensure that his thoughts will not be influenced by selfish desires. In some myths of previous lives, the difference between gods and demons is that even if gods have abilities that far exceed those of humans, Power will still not disturb the world, but demons will use their own power to do evil.
The difference between becoming a "god" or a "demon" is Shikamaru's choice of what to sacrifice. Fierce Bull was silent about his choice and felt a little sad, but for Shikamaru himself, compared to sacrificing his ideals and enduring Well, these don't seem to be anything.
It may be difficult for him to smile from the bottom of his heart, but if he can somehow make hundreds of millions of people smile, he will be satisfied.
