The rain was pouring down, and the strong wind carrying the raindrops kept beating on the windows, crackling like firecrackers.
Yuri Kurenai, who was wearing loose casual clothes and an apron, walked into the restaurant with a dish and called out to Asuma Sarutobi, who was leisurely reading the newspaper on the sofa in the living room: "The meal is ready."
Sarutobi Asuma responded when he heard the words, put the cigarette butt in his mouth into the ashtray and extinguished it. After going to the bathroom to wash his hands, he couldn't wait to sit at the dining table, smelling the aroma of the food, and showed a satisfied smile.
meaning.
Seeing his funny look, Xi Rihong couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips and pursed her lips into a smile. But after a moment, she hesitated slightly and said, "Have you heard the recent rumors?"
"What rumors?" Asuma Sarutobi answered absentmindedly, and kept putting food in his mouth, asking vaguely.
"From Tian Zhiguo." Yurihong lowered her voice, as if she had some ulterior secret.
"You mean Shikamaru?" Sarutobi Asuma slowed down, put down his job, and asked in a deep voice, "What is the current attitude of the village?"
Since his finger injury, Sarutobi Asuma has been transferred to the education department and no longer holds a position in the combat department. He has not participated in some combat meetings and strategic meetings. Therefore, many times, he does not know as much information as Yuri Kurenai.
.
"...There was a lot of quarrel, but we haven't decided to take action yet." Yuri Hong looked around subconsciously before replying, "The elders headed by Danzo Shimura and the radicals believe that force should be relied on.
When it comes to arresting or executing Shikamaru, there is another side that thinks they should stand still and observe the situation. After all, Shikamaru has never done anything substantial to harm Konoha before, so he shouldn't be so radical..., and he actually killed Orochimaru, I don't know.
The current strength has reached such a level that the village needs more information."
Sarutobi Asuma smiled silently. In fact, for the conservative group, the last sentence is the key point. After all, Shikamaru's declaration not long ago did not show any mercy to the Leaf Village, and he still said it unceremoniously.
Telling Konoha not to send any ninja into the Land of the Fields. Although this is not a declaration of war, it will be regarded as a provocation by many people. Especially when Shikamaru comes from Konoha Village, it is even more unbearable for many people.
If it hadn't been for another incidental news that confirmed the death of Orochimaru, who was famous in the ninja world, at the hands of Shikamaru, there wouldn't be so many conservatives in the village now.
"He killed Orochimaru, occupied Tian Country, and threatened that any ninja who dared to step into its territory would be killed. What exactly did he want to do!?" Yuri Kurenai frowned and murmured to herself.
"I have never seen through him. Every time I think I have seen through what he is doing, the results often surprise me. I don't understand what he is thinking now, and I can't influence him now, so...
...," Sarutobi Asuma's smile faded slightly, and he shrugged helplessly at Yuri Kurenai, "I can only be like you and see what he will do next."
…………
What will Shikamaru do next?
When he was dormant, he had the ability of a chess player as a chess piece. Now, he has gradually become more powerful. In the ninja world, he is already one of the chess players who manipulates chess pieces and fights with the enemy on the chessboard. His
The mind has long been outside the chessboard, deploying and planning step by step to win the final victory.
To Shikamaru, the defense system of Konoha Village was riddled with holes, and it was too horrible to look at. His footprints were all over the village, and he also left countless "Black Magic. Shifang" seals as coordinates.
The wind howled, and there was faint thunder in the clouds. The rainwater falling on the eaves and the wooden floor did not even move due to Shikamaru's sudden appearance. Only a slight distortion in the space showed that he was standing with his hands behind his back.
Young man, I was not here a moment ago.
"Who is it!?" A burst of angry shouts came from the wooden door opposite, and he was able to immediately see through Shikamaru's superb space ninjutsu.
But for the head of the Riku clan with Byakugan, it was not unthinkable. Shikamaru smiled silently, stepped forward, opened the wooden door, and stepped into this antique Japanese-style house.
The lingering smoke emanated from the incense burner in the center of the house, making the figure of the man in a large kimono opposite Shikamaru look unreal.
"Nara Shikamaru!?" His ruthless gaze shifted from the huge chakra emanating from Shikamaru's body to his face. His expression was cold and stern, and combined with the prominent blood vessels next to his eyes, it had a somewhat ferocious look.
, "How dare you go to Konoha Village?"
"Why not?" Shikamaru raised his eyebrows indifferently, and stepped forward with his hands behind his hands, looking relaxed and content, just like the owner patrolling his own garden, "Who can stop me?"
Shikamaru said, ignoring the frown that deepened towards his feet, and sat down on the futon in front of him. He raised his right leg and bent it, and put his right hand on his knee. He was neither kneeling nor kneeling.
He doesn't sit cross-legged, and his posture is extremely lazy, but there is no look of laziness on his face. It seems to be natural. The rules and regulations set by mortals are so ridiculous to him. He is not a person who adapts to the rules, but a person who makes the rules.
This kind of attitude and senses sounds mysterious. In fact, the reason why Riku Rizu has this view lies in Shikamaru's current identity and deeds. If he were to be imitated by an ordinary genin of the same age, Riku Rizu would have already punched him.
Type out.
But for Shikamaru, who became a Jonin at the age of thirteen, slaughtered many ninjas in a foreign land by his own strength, and then retreated peacefully, killing Orochimaru, who was also known as the "Sannin" with the Fifth Hokage, the day was over.
If he shows impatience and wants to fight, he will be punched out of the room, but it is not certain who it is.
For Shikamaru who could kill Orochimaru, Tsunade's intimidation was no more than this. Even with the home field advantage, it was still difficult to defeat him.
After all, he is a man who is known as the "Kami Hidden" at the age of thirteen. Rixiang pursed his lips and sighed in his heart. Shikamaru's series of deeds are enough for people to ignore his age. Even the head of Rixiang can no longer
It's natural to call him young.
"What do you want to do?" Rixiang asked in a deep voice.
He never opened his eyes and kept his vigilant eyes on Shikamaru. This seemed a bit impolite, but Shikamaru didn't take it seriously and took out a small glass bottle from his ninja bag.
It was filled with an unknown liquid, and in the liquid, there was a white eyeball floating up and down, making people feel cold all over.
"The property returns to its original owner." Shikamaru shook his hand slightly and threw the vial soaked in Byakugan to Rito Rizu. This was what he dug from the corpse of the Mist Ninja Jonin "Ao" during the battle of the Water Kingdom.
Down.
"Thank you." His face looked better, but he still did not relax his vigilance. He did not believe that Shikamaru returned to the village just to return the eye, "What is the purpose of your return to Konoha Village?"
"I came here mainly because I wanted to take some people away." Shikamaru didn't wait for Rishi to continue asking questions, and then gave the answer, "I want to take Rishi and Neji out of here."
"Impossible!" Ri Xiang Rizu flatly refused. After saying this, he said in a slightly slower tone, "I am very grateful to you for returning this eye, but it is absolutely impossible for the blood of the Ri Xiang clan to fall to outsiders.
Hand!"
Shikamaru listened quietly to Ri Xiang's words, then smiled slightly, stood up from the futon, and said softly: "You misunderstood, this is not a transaction, nor a request, this is just a notice, I want to take Ri Xiang Ning
I'm leaving for the first time, and as an elder, I think I should just tell you first."
"You're dreaming!" Shikamaru's understatement was like the most vicious sarcasm and contempt. Even with his daily cultivation, he couldn't hide his anger. He said sternly, "'Byakugan' will not fall into the hands of outsiders. You can never get what you want.
All you will get is a cold corpse!"
"He will die again." Shikamaru shook his head. It seemed that he did not take the threat of Rikuzu to heart at all. His cold eyes fell on him, "Even if the 'Byakugan' is gone, I will naturally
I will personally find a replacement for him, after all, there are many ninjas in the Rixiang clan."
"If you want the 'Byakugan' or the blood of the Riku family, as the head of the clan, wouldn't you be a better choice?" Dark red octopus tentacles slowly emerged from Shikamaru's waist, and on Ri
Observing Xiang Rizu's Byakugan, one can even discover the frighteningly huge chakra coming from the Eight-Tails.
"Shikamaru!" A trembling and soft voice came from behind. Shikamaru seemed to have expected it. He slowly turned around and looked towards the door. Unexpectedly, two girls, one tall and one short, had arrived in the room.
In the middle, the voice was made by a girl who was about the same age as Shikamaru. She had long hair, eyes like autumn water, a small nose, plump red lips, and a fair face that had gradually developed a girlish charm.
"Hinata, Hanabi, you two go back!" Ritsuzu saw the figures of the two girls, his heart tightened, he shouted quickly, and ordered in an unprecedented serious tone, "I want you to leave here immediately!
"
After hearing this, Hanabi Hanabi swallowed her saliva, glanced at Shikamaru, and wanted to pull the hesitant Hinata away.
"There is no need for this." Shikamaru retracted the octopus tentacles transformed by the power of the bull, and said to Rixiang Rizu, "I will take Rixiang Neji away."
Rishi Rizu's face turned green when he heard this, and he looked at Shikamaru's hand seal with a gloomy expression, then disappeared from where he was, without any reaction for a while.
