Two days later, Onoki put down the report in his hand and felt a headache. It seemed that his fragile cervical vertebrae could no longer support his head. He subconsciously raised his hands to stand on the table and propped up his head. However, this movement was too fast and he almost stretched himself.
old waist.
As one of the Five Kage, even among the ninjas who are in awe of ordinary people, Onoki is definitely one of the top members of the pyramid, but this still cannot make him resist the erosion of time, whether it is physical strength or mental strength, he
I've been feeling out of control lately.
Despite this, he was unable to relieve himself of the burden of Tsuchikage. Several young people with great potential had not yet grown up. It was not a good thing to serve as the leader of a village prematurely. Just like the fourth Hokage of Konoha Village, when you are
After being elected as a leader by the villagers who are full of expectations, he will naturally shoulder a heavy mission. However, when faced with danger, as a leader, he must face the difficulties without flinching, otherwise he may cause criticism and even death.
His reputation was ruined and his reputation was wasted.
If possible, Onoki still hopes that he can protect the young people in the village for a while during his lifetime. It is best to die in office rather than end up on the bed of illness.
Of course, his insistence on not resigning might not be due to other factors. Ohnoki sometimes thought that if Shikamaru hadn't come out of nowhere, he would have given up his position to his younger generation.
Although Shikamaru has said that ninjas are prohibited from entering the territory of Tian Country, this does not mean that he can block the news of the entire country. Although the surrounding Jinnin Village is unwilling to easily provoke Shikamaru, who is famous in the ninja world, it is conceivable that
There are many ways to collect information.
The report Ohnoki had just finished reading was the news from Ta no Kuni. The "Ten no Gochu Lord" was preaching in Tateyama Castle. The Yijiao, which had originally maintained a low profile, had a surge in popularity. Not only that, but the Lord of Tateyama Castle, Uesugi Ao
Zhi actually launched an army to rebel, and on the pretext of liberating the people, he attacked and plundered many surrounding cities, and there was also the shadow of Yi Jiao behind this.
Shikamaru couldn't hide this kind of thing at all. The surrounding countries, including the Earth Kingdom, knew about it, and some daimyo also felt uneasy. The nobles and royal families have been passed down from generation to generation, and their status has always been higher than that of ordinary people, and they rarely suffered.
When the swordsmen were in trouble, Uesugi Seiji's actions gave them a hint of danger, and the Daimyo of Earth Country ordered Iwagakure Village to pay attention to the matter.
The report about the great name of the Kingdom of Middle-earth, Se Li Neirong, almost appeared on the page. Ohnoki felt contempt in his heart, but he could not ignore it, which put him in a dilemma.
Bang!
The door to the office was suddenly pushed open forcefully from the outside. Ohnoki knew who it was without looking up - the only person in the entire Iwagakure Village who had the guts to break into his office without knocking was his granddaughter Kurotsuchi.
Kurotsuchi, who had short black hair, pushed open the door and barged in directly. Without saying a word, he sat carelessly on a chair in front of Onoki's desk, leaning on him as if he had no bones.
On the back of the chair, he sighed exaggeratedly and looked sluggish, as if he had just suffered a serious crime. Seeing that Onoki didn't even look at her, he pouted, walked forward with a charming look on his face, and muttered:
"What are you looking at?"
"Get out of the way!" Onoki looked impatient and raised his hand to wave Kurotsuchi away: "This is a very important announcement!"
Seeing Ohnoki looking angry, Kurotsuchi curled his lips, glanced at the unclosed notice, then sat back on the chair and asked lazily: "Nara Shikamaru? What did he do again?"
Onoki glared at Kurotsuchi with dissatisfaction and said in a deep voice: "Something happened in Tian Country, and the country's daimyo is a little worried."
"What's the matter?" Kurotsuchi continued to ask.
"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. You are a ninja!" Onoki scolded him sternly, but he only received a blank look from Kurotsuchi.
There are some things that you will never learn without experiencing a war. Seeing Kurotsuchun's indifferent look, Onoki couldn't help but sigh. Peace means fewer "communication" opportunities with other ninjas in the village. He has never experienced a war.
Most of the younger generation who interacted with ninjas from other villages, especially the Great Ninja Village, grew up in the small circles of their ninja villages. Some young ninjas who consider themselves talented and powerful are inevitably suspected of being arrogant.
Chojuro of Kirigakure Village would never have imagined that he and several outstanding ninjas from Kirigakure Village would be killed by Nara Shikamaru within the borders of the country. Darui would also not have thought that he and the Hidden Leaf Village would be together.
Fighting against the strongest person of the younger generation might end in such a miserable outcome.
Ohnoki has seen many outstanding young ninjas come to prominence during the war. They all gained fame by stepping on the corpses of the older generation of ninjas - he himself is one of them, so he will never underestimate any opponent.
This is the biggest difference between him and Kurotsuchi and others.
He may rely on his old age to save face, but when faced with a strong enemy, he is always clear-minded in his heart and warns himself that the opponent is very strong - how strong? Just treat it as a formidable enemy that he has never seen in his life.
This is why he hesitates to provoke Shikamaru. Onoki knows very well how difficult it is to stand out from the Leaf Village with many famous families such as Uchiha and Riku, and those who can do this
How strong will it be - Sarutobi Rizan, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Namikaze Minato are all like this. Onoki is not afraid of fighting Shikamaru, or even dying together, but he is not sure of killing with one blow.
Don't dare to take action easily.
Shikamaru is only fifteen years old this year, and will only be sixteen in a few months, but he has already killed Orochimaru, which shocked the surrounding countries and did not dare to act rashly. Except for Onoki, in Iwagakure Village, even Onoki's son Huangtu,
I'm afraid he is no match for Shikamaru. If Onoki and Shikamaru lose in the battle, the ninjas such as Iwagakure and Huangtu Kurotsuchi will have to face a terrifying enemy with unlimited potential.
"Forget it, just get some information to deal with the daimyo." Onoki seemed to have figured it out. Compared with the daimyo of his country, he was more willing to consider Iwagakure and his descendants. Shikamaru was now in the ascendant, and he also
I don't want to ignore its edge.
There is intelligence that Shikamaru once made a big fuss in Kumogakure Village. Counting the incident in the Kingdom of Water, the grievances between the two are not small. Coupled with Kirigakure Village's anger, Shikamaru does not lack enemies, which makes him somewhat frustrated.
Onoki breathed a sigh of relief.
Shikamaru defeated Gaara, the strongest genin in Sunagakure Village, in the Chunin Exam, and then almost wiped out all the most promising young people in Kumogakure and Kirigakure in the Water Country. Now many people in the ninja world understand that,
When the older generation of ninjas die or grow old and the new generation of ninjas begin to take up the banner, the title of number one in the ninja world is likely to fall on Shikamaru. Like Ohnoki, there are many ninjas who regard Shikamaru as a thorn in their side.
Many of them don't want to sit back and watch this happen.
…………
Onoki thought well. Even the Sunagakure Village, which seemed to have little grievances with Shikamaru, also maintained a hostile attitude towards Shikamaru. Now Shikamaru's head is worth thirty million taels on the black market, of which Sunagakure Village secretly "contributed"
"As much as three million taels.
It's a pity that compared to Shikamaru who is far away, all the energy of Sunagakure Village has now been devoted to the threat that is close at hand.
