Chapter 305: The Daimyo and Mito Kadenin actually did not want to take Shikamaru to the emergency meeting. As a traitorous ninja, since Shikamaru attended the meeting, he had already approved Shikamaru's return to the village on behalf of the top management of Konoha.
Facts. The two of them notified the leaders of several departments in turn, preparing to attend an emergency meeting with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
Shikaku Nara, who serves as the Jonin squad leader and can represent the interests of the Jonin in the village, is also one of them, followed by the ANBU, which represents the direct force of the Hokage and is the most powerful armed force in the village.
Kato Shizune, who serves as the Hokage's assistant and an important member of the medical department, was supposed to participate, but she was not worried about Tsunade's safety. When Shikamaru killed Shimura Danzo, it caused such a big stir that Shimura Danzo attacked Shikamaru's "
"Fact" actually spread throughout the Konoha Village in a short period of time.
Since she suspected that there was a mole in the village, Kato Shizune really couldn't trust her and leave Tsunade who had lost the ability to defend herself. If there were die-hard members of Shimura Danzo who plotted evil and harmed Tsunade, she might never be able to forgive herself.,水
Tomon Yan, ANBU deputy captain, Nara Shikaku and others are all ninjas in their own right. Even the skills and experience of the two elders cannot be underestimated. After gathering a few people, they quickly set off to the meeting place without wasting any escorts.
time.
The situation was urgent, and they did not expect the Daimyos of the Fire Country to move faster than them. They kept rushing on their way without wasting any time, and soon they arrived at a town and entered the palace of the city lord.
The tone of Konoha's report to the Fire Country was very urgent. Otherwise, it would not be able to make the Daimyo and other officials who were gradually declining in Japan take it seriously. As a result, compared to ninjas, these officials and lords, whose bodies are very valuable,
, unexpectedly followed closely behind the others in Konoha and entered the mansion.
Not to mention the tedious etiquette when welcoming the daimyo, the daimyo himself understood some of the priorities, and without wasting too much time of the few ninjas in Konoha, a meeting was quickly convened.
The local lord has arranged the place in advance, and no eavesdropper can be hidden in the empty hall. A large wooden table is located in the center, and a rosewood seat with carvings of birds and animals is placed directly opposite the door.
It was covered with a layer of fur from an unknown beast.
The Daimyo of the Fire Country sat in the middle of the hall without hesitation. After he took his seat, a row of Fire Country officials wearing high crowns and official uniforms took their seats. Apparently they had high self-esteem and believed that they were better than the Konoha ninjas in terms of status.
Let's wait.
Not to mention the modern society in Shikamaru's previous life, he quickly became a ninja after coming to this world. Most of his clothes are simple and convenient. Only on rare occasions, he needs to wear a kimono. A maverick ninja like Jiraiya usually wears a kimono.
The "work" that is most suitable for working in "work" will also tie up the sleeves tightly. The style of the robe worn by the Hokage on important occasions is also very simple.
So much so that when he saw the special official uniforms put on by these officials, he felt a little disapproving, but it suddenly occurred to him that the robes worn by Yijiao priests were actually not suitable for labor.
Because of his past life experience, Shikamaru, who pursues productivity, attaches great importance to the organizational skills of Yi Jiao. The most important job of Yi Jiao priests is to organize villagers to work in the countryside. It is not convenient to wear such obstructive clothes frequently.
It seems that I will have to work hard to design a set of priestly robes in the future.
These thoughts just flashed through Shikamaru's mind, and he soon noticed a familiar face among the officials from the Country of Fire.
Hideo Mita, the elder of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, was deeply trusted by the Daimyo. When Shikamaru took the Chunin Exam for the first time, he represented the Daimyo of the Fire Nation to watch the competition. He was so surprised by Shikamaru's performance that he returned to the Daimyo.
Later, he suggested that the daimyo take Shikamaru under his banner, but unfortunately he did not get the consent of Tsunade and Shikamaru himself.
When Shikamaru presided over the Chunin Exams the next year, he gave explanations to Hideo Mita, who once again represented the Fire Nation daimyo to watch the competition. Although the two had no friendship, they could be considered acquaintances.
Shikamaru was deeply impressed by him. He had also contacted many state managers outside the Ninja Village. Among the officials who were generally mediocre and incompetent, it was rare to have such a person who had a deep understanding of the Ninja and the Ninja Village, let alone the other party back then.
I really didn't hide my regard for him and his kindness.
Mita Hideo valued Shikamaru's talent very much. Even now, he was a little surprised by Shikamaru's appearance, but after noticing Shikamaru's gaze, he nodded in a friendly manner.
After the Konoha party also sat down, Hideo Mita, who was under the daimyo, spoke first: "The contents of the letter are not comprehensive, so I would like to ask the two elders of Konoha to explain it in detail."
The letter delivered to the Fire Country Daimyo was sent just after the war. At that time, the statistical work of Konoha Village had not been completed. It could only talk about the situation of Konoha Village in general, mainly mentioning the strength of the enemy and the strength of the village.
There is no specific data on losses.
"What do you think, my lord?" After he said that, he looked at the Fire Nation daimyo at the top.
After hearing Mita Hideo's suggestion, the daimyo opened the folding fan in his hand with a "swish" sound, covered most of his cheeks, nodded slowly and said: "Okay."
The purpose of listening to the explanation is to draw up a budget, and the daimyo will definitely do his own research. The relationship between the Ninja Village and the country is semi-employment, and it is far from being of the same mind. I want to count on the Fire Country to support the Ninja Village without reservation.
, is unlikely.
It is difficult to fake losses, and personnel damage cannot be recovered by simply increasing the budget. It requires long-term cultivation. Compared with the tragic scene in the original work where Konoha Village was almost razed to the ground by the law of heaven, Konoha Village's losses are now smaller.
In order to get the daimyo to spend more money, Chun Chun and Mito Monobu could only highlight the two destroyed Konoha symbols.
Hokage Building and Hokage Rock.
Snap!
When the Daimyo of the Land of Fire heard Mito Kaden talking about the Hokage Rock and the Hokage Building, mentioning Jiraiya's death in battle, and the fact that the body has not yet been fully identified, he was unable to maintain the graceful attitude he tried to maintain and couldn't hide his surprise.
He closed the fan and asked: "Jiraiya actually died in battle? Did he die with the enemy?" He and Mito Kadoyan answered, and suddenly interrupted: "Although it is regrettable, Jiraiya-sama is indeed defeated by the invasion.
However, he died in a fierce battle." The two of them suddenly changed, and what they were most worried about happened. Shikamaru was indeed not willing to be a foil who was only responsible for helping Konoha to get money. It was just his ultimate goal.
What it is, the two of them still don't know.
"You are..." The Fire Country Daimyo's gaze fell on Shikamaru's young and exaggerated face. He had actually noticed Shikamaru's existence, but he had not asked any questions. At this time, he heard Shikamaru speak,
Then he took advantage of the situation and asked Xiaochun who was sleeping next to him: "Who is this young man?"
"He is Nara Shikamaru." Hideo Mita said first after hearing this.
Hearing this, the Daimyo of the Fire Country looked like he suddenly realized something, but in fact, he was constantly searching for memories in his mind. He had forgotten the name Nara Shikamaru, but he finally knew that he shouldn't tell the truth. As his mind turned, he finally remembered Shikamaru.
Some information about pills.
"Hey, how come I heard that you have left Konoha?" the Fire Country Daimyo suddenly asked curiously.
"At that time, the Kingdom of Water was established. In order to prevent them from establishing diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Thunder and threatening the safety of our country, I had to take this step and kill the envoy team from Kumoyin Village alone, and then announced my departure from Konoha." Shikamaru said with a calm expression.
For the sake of putting gold on his face: "In this way, the alliance between the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Water was stopped, and it would not lead to war in Konoha Village. Now Konoha Village is in crisis, and I learned the information in advance,
So I rushed back, and after a hard fight, I defeated the enemy who killed Jiraiya-sama and destroyed the Leaf Village. In addition, I got some important information and was able to participate in this meeting."
Shikamaru's expression was indifferent, as if he felt that his achievements were not worth mentioning, but in his words he cleared away the stain of his betrayal of the village, and mentioned his role in this battle - killing Jiraiya and destroying the
The powerful enemy of Konoha Village was defeated, which was why they decided to frown secretly with Mito Kaden. However, although Shikamaru's words were heard by the two of them, and they felt that they were exaggerating their own achievements, there was nothing false in them - at least for both of them.
No one can expose Shikamaru's "lies".
The possibility of establishing diplomatic relations between the Kingdom of Thunder and the Kingdom of Water at that time was indeed much greater than the possibility of forming an alliance with the Kingdom of Fire. Everyone in the Kingdom of Fire also understood the danger of sitting back and watching the establishment of diplomatic relations between Water and Thunder, but it was just lagging behind in intelligence.
, lost the opportunity at the very beginning.
Without Shikamaru's unprovoked "rebellion", he killed all the envoys sent by the Cloud Hidden Village of the Kingdom of Thunder, making the Kingdom of Thunder suspicious of the Kingdom of Water, and the Kingdom of Water was dissatisfied with the attitude of the Kingdom of Thunder, and a gap broke out between the two countries.
, the final result is indeed unpredictable, and the possibility of the Fire Nation becoming the loser is not small.
As for Shikamaru's return to the village to defeat Pain, it is even more irrefutable. The scene of the confrontation between Shikamaru's "Natural Birth" and Pain's "Shinra Tiangang" was probably something that many Konoha ninjas will never be able to get out of their minds for the rest of their lives.
Forget about it, no one can take away this credit.
"So that's it," the Daimyo of the Fire Country opened his folding fan with a "swish" sound, fanned himself unconsciously, and exclaimed, "It's true that a hero comes from a young boy."
A Fire Nation official who still wanted to raise questions immediately swallowed the words and nodded silently, in line with the daimyo's words. He and Mito Kadoen asked: "In this case, Nara Shikamaru
You shouldn’t be a traitor now!”
Although it was a question, it was in an affirmative tone, leaving the two elders speechless for a moment. Are they going to say that they brought a dangerous traitorous nin to a meeting where the great names of the Fire Nation were present?
"...Yes." Mito Kadoyan finally chose to compromise. He took a deep look at Shikamaru who looked calm and said in a deep voice: "He has returned to Konoha."
