Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 140 Eight Bad

"Nara Shikamaru..." Seeing Shikamaru's attitude, the captain of the dark unit slightly raised his voice, but was interrupted by Nara Heisuke who was wiping his hands with a tissue.

"Are you Anbe?" Nara Heisuke changed his friendly smile when facing Shikamaru, wiped his hands indifferently, glanced at Anbe Captain, and asked slowly: "Otherwise, why are you wearing this outfit!?"

"..."

The captain of the dark troop did not answer Nara Heisuke's words, but Nara Heisuke didn't seem to care about it, and continued to speak slowly with a nonchalant attitude: "This is a bit strange, Mr. Hokage has already sacrificed. At this time, no one has the right to transfer Anbu belonging to Hokage, and in Konoha Village, there is no ninja from any department other than Anbe who needs to wear this costume."

"The kid Shikamaru just stopped the Shinjuriki of Sand Hidden Village from destroying the village not long ago, and there must be many sand ninjas who hate him deeply," Nara Heisuke said, frowning at the Anbu Captain and the two Anbu beside him. : "You said you wanted to take Shikamaru back to understand the situation, but who instructed you?"

"The old man said..." Nara Heisuke slowly folded his hands together and said softly. At the same time, two young ninjas of the Nara clan in the ward also stood up and vaguely surrounded several Anbu: "You are very similar The secret sand village spy lurking in Konoha Village, isn’t it!?”

The Anbe captain's eyes flickered, and the two Anbe members beside him had already moved closer to him, guarding against the two ninjas of the Nara clan. It can't be over in a short while, and the sound of the battle will alarm others, their whereabouts and purpose will be exposed, but their trip is not visible.

"We came here under the order of Elder Konoha." The dark troop leader was silent for a moment, and finally he still vaguely stated his identity.

"It's a member of Root! No wonder you're wearing this dress." Nara Heisuke looked suddenly enlightened, but then his expression calmed down, and he said in a casual manner: "But Root is a training institution for Anbe members. Disbanded many years ago, you have no right to exercise the duties and rights of Anbu."

"If you represent the will of the Konoha elders, that is, the will of the Administration Department, do you have an order signed by the three elders?" Nara Heisuke showed a sneer, and asked unceremoniously: "Or are you just representing Shimura? Danzo's will!?"

The leader of the dark troop, or the members of "root", did not answer, but a subordinate behind him did not answer the question, and said to Nara Heisuke and Nara Shikamaru in a cold voice: "You have to violate the order of the high-level, Betray Konoha!"

"If anyone dares to persecute the Nara clan!" Nara Heisuke stood up suddenly after hearing the other party's words, and said solemnly: "Hokage is not here, if Shimura Danzo wants to arrest any Konoha ninja, he needs to transfer to the elder and The elders of Mito signed the order together."

"Shimura Danzo wants to represent Konoha's will... let's wait until he becomes Hokage!" Nara Heisuke raised his gray eyebrows and said slightly meanly.

Of course, the members of the "roots" did not have the order jointly signed by the three Konoha elder advisors. The leader, even Shimura Danzo himself, would never have thought that Nara Heisuke, the patriarch of the Nara clan, had already passed the order in a short period of time. Uchi made up his mind to protect Nara Shikamaru, even if he broke with Shimura Danzo.

"It was our negligence." After a long silence, the member of "Root" who was dressed as the leader of the dark army finally spoke to Nara Heisuke, this mission was undoubtedly a failure, and he would definitely face punishment after returning, but if he and Nara Heisuke Waiting for others to start a war and forcibly capturing Nara Shikamaru back was even more wrong, and he had no choice but to bow his head in the end.

After the leader wearing a fox mask finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave the ward with two subordinates, but found that the two young ninjas of the Nara clan had no intention of giving way, and Nara Heisuke had no intention of stopping , which made him frown secretly, feeling slightly uncomfortable.

"The old man said that the kid Shikamaru just stopped the Hinduriki of Sand Hidden Village from destroying the village not long ago, and there must be many sand ninjas who hate him deeply. In order to prove your identity as Konoha ninjas...," Narahei said Looking at Shimura Danzo's three subordinates expressionlessly, he said slowly, "Take off your masks!"

The three subordinates of Shimura Danzo were shocked and angry. Taking off the mask means that their appearance will be recorded, and it will be much easier to retaliate or find them in the future. Of course they are unwilling to do this, but the eyes of the leader are at this moment Glancing at the door standing erect at some time, Nara Shikahisa and Chiba Gen, who looked at the situation in the ward blankly, had no choice but to nod in agreement with Nara Heisuke's request under the flash of thought.

Danzo's three subordinates slowly took off their masks, revealing the faces covered under the masks, while Shikamaru and Nara Heisuke squinted their eyes and carefully memorized the three faces in their hearts.

For Shikamaru, these three people have been confirmed as enemies, and now they can write down their faces, and they can deal with it in the future, whether it is prevention or revenge.

Nara Heisuke waved his hand after remembering the appearance of the three of them, signaling them to leave, and finally said to them with a warning: "I will find out whether the three of you are Konoha ninjas afterwards."

The previous conversations can actually show that these three people are indeed Konoha ninjas, and Nara Heisuke is also aware of this. The last sentence is actually a threat and a warning.

…………

Danzo's three subordinates finally left the ward, and Chiba Gen, who stopped by to help Shikamaru check his body, also left shortly thereafter.

Seeing Chiba Gen's figure disappear outside the ward, Nara Shikamaru couldn't help thinking.

After Nara Heisuke noticed the expression on Shikamaru's face, he chuckled and asked aloud, "Some doubts?"

"..." Shikamaru nodded silently. It was definitely not a coincidence that Chiba Gen appeared outside the ward just now, and he didn't believe that Nara Shikahisa would be stupid enough to trick Chiba Gen to have an affair with Shimura Danzo. All of this must be Chiba Gen's own attitude, but the friendship between the two seems to have not reached the point where the other party can offend a Konoha elder for Shikamaru. If it is Sarutobi Asma, he can explain it.

"Gen is very close to you, and he is a smart person." Nara Heisuke smiled slightly, and said to Shikamaru: "Do you think he should be afraid of Shimura Danzo's power?"

"The other party is the elder of Konoha Village after all." Shikamaru said in a low voice.

"But he is just an elder!" Nara Heisuke saw that Shikamaru was a little puzzled, and explained aloud: "The prestige of the third Hokage-sama in the village is unmatched, and the three elders are all companions who grew up with him. , so he has enough power to let the three of them assist him."

"But what about the Fifth Hokage?" Nara Heisuke said with a smile that was not a smile: "If you can become Hokage, how can you be willing to do nothing in your heart and don't want to make your own contribution to Konoha Village? Who can tolerate being surrounded by a few people who are higher than themselves and like to point fingers?"

"Receive power!?" Shikamaru frowned and muttered to himself.

"The Fifth Hokage succeeds to the throne. If the three elders, especially Shimura Danzo, are not able to recognize the facts and correct their own attitudes, their rights will be curtailed sooner or later when the Fifth Hokage consolidates their position." Nara Heisuke sneered: "Hokage He is the veritable leader of Konoha Village, who is qualified to disobey his orders!? Jiraiya is still in the village, and it will never be Shimura Danzo's turn to be the fifth Hokage. It is too early to want to act arbitrarily now Some!"

Nara Heisuke does not have any good feelings for Shimura Danzo. This is actually easy to understand. With Shimura Danzo's character and ruling style, he conflicts with Nara Heisuke, who considers the interests of the ethnic group in everything.

Nara Heisuke is not clear about Shimura Danzo's dark hands. In his opinion, Shimura Danzo can't compare with Jiraiya, whether it is age, strength, or personal prestige. It is impossible for him to pass a level, so it is understandable that he has the courage to break with Shimura Danzo.

Chiba Gen was able to support Shikamaru so much, and there was also a reason why he thought about it clearly.

A moment later, Nara Heisuke also left the ward with two young ninjas from the Nara clan. Now that the Nara clan has expressed their opinion, Shikamaru's deed of stopping Shukura from raging in the village will be known to the Konoha ninjas. Every movement will attract attention. If Shimura Danzo wants to take action against him, it will not be as simple as before. Therefore, there is no need for the members of the Nara clan to take special care of him during his cultivation.
