Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 150 Recommendation

After all, Danzo Shimura is one of the three elders of Konoha Village. Even though Koharu and Mitomon Yan, under the orders of Hiruzaru Sarutobi, held a meeting at the first time to decide that Jiraiya would succeed him as fifth The meeting on behalf of Hokage caught Shimura Danzo a little by surprise, but Dang Jiraiya also refused, and suggested that the two send a team of ninjas to follow him, giving Shimura Danzo an opportunity to take advantage of it.

If Jiraiya took Uzumaki Naruto and left Konoha Village immediately after the proposal as in the original book, Shimura Danzo naturally had no time to react, but when Mitomon Yan and Zhuanju Koharu signed the transfer order of the team, they immediately Danzo Shimura couldn't hide it.

In terms of status, the three elders of Muye Village are equal. When the third Hokage passed away and the fifth Hokage did not take over, he was also qualified to participate in the administrative management of Muye Village, and even arranged to enter the village. Become a leader in a team.

Therefore, when Shikamaru was summoned by Mito Menyan to the meeting room of the Hokage Building, he learned that he would follow Jiraiya to find and protect the future of the five generations of Hokage Senju Tsunade, and that there would be a descendant of Kaikai among those who went with him. , not too much of a surprise.

Strictly speaking, Jiraiya is not considered the leader of this operation, but the initiator, and even Mito Menyan once hinted to Shikamaru that the four-person team also secretly monitored Jiraiya to prevent him from escaping. Purpose, so in accordance with Konoha's tradition of forming a basic action team with four people as a team, this time it was planned to arrange four ginokos to be formed, led by Nara Shikamaru, the best of them, but in view of Shimura Danzo who was killed halfway, As well as the candidates he recommended, as a Chunin, Kai Kai naturally became the leader of the team.

Uzumaki Naruto has been pre-selected by Jiraiya, so in fact, there is only one candidate who can be carefully selected.

"The last candidate, I would like to ask for your opinion." Sitting behind the tall wooden table, Mitomon Yan said to Nara Shikamaru.

This is also the purpose of Mitomonyan calling Shikamaru here alone today. Although he and Zhuanzhu Xiaochun reluctantly agreed to join the team and squeezed Shikamaru to become the captain, they didn't trust each other and the people behind him in their hearts. Shimura Danzo, this point Mitomon also revealed to Shikamaru unreservedly just now. After all, compared to Kaikai, who seldom shows up in Konoha Village, Shikamaru is more capable of controlling the other ninjas and becoming the actual leader By.

Shikamaru hesitated slightly, and his thoughts flashed. If it is purely in terms of combat power, his range of choices seems to be very small, and he should almost choose among Neiji Hinata, Rock Lee and Sasuke Uchiha.

But the reality is not so simple, especially at present when measured by the standards of a team. Although personal strength is important, there is another thing that needs to be compared with it, or even more important, that is "tacit understanding".

Where there are people, there are disputes and disagreements. Shikamaru puts himself in the position of team leader. Although Hinata Ningji and Li Luoke have a good relationship with him, there is still a big gap between being obedient and obedient. As for Uchiha Sasuke didn't mention it.

What's more, the nominal leader of this team, Kai Kai, is also Shimura Danzo's subordinate, a member of the "root", what kind of purpose he has is unknown, maybe Shikamaru will have a fight with him at that time , In this case, a companion who trusts himself unconditionally and can even fight against the will of Shimura Danzo and Chunin under necessary conditions is very important for Shikamaru.

Among Konoha's ninjas, Shikamaru is sure that there is only one person whose friendship with him can reach this point, and that is Choji Akimichi, a kind act of kindness in Shikamaru's childhood, but in exchange for Choji Akimichi, a slightly inferior boy The most loyal friendship, the long-term relationship has also formed an amazing tacit understanding between the two.

Because Yamanaka Ino is a girl, she has complicated thoughts, and Shikamaru can't be sure of her thoughts, but Akimichi Choji's thoughts are much simpler, and his words and deeds for a long time have also revealed one point-Shikamaru has always been his best friend.

Therefore, after various analyzes flashed in Shikamaru's mind, he said to Mito Monyan without hesitation: "I recommend Ninshu Michicho."

After hearing Shikamaru recommending Akimichi Choji, Mitomonyan frowned slightly, but after all, the old man who is known for his wisdom and has been a Konoha consultant for many years, understood Shikamaru's thoughts in a blink of an eye, and nodded secretly in his heart.

…………

By the time Shikamaru stepped into this conference room again, it was already two hours later. Except for him, all the Chunin and three Genin summoned for this mission had arrived——鶗鴃, Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi and Naruto Uzumaki.

Not only that, Jirai also came, in a corner of the conference room, leaning against the wall a little lazily, and sitting in the three most middle positions of the conference room were the three most powerful people in Muye Village at this time. Elder advisors—Zanju Koharu, Mito Menyan, and Shimura Danzo!

When everyone arrived, Jiraiya explained the general situation of the mission to Choji Akimichi and Naruto Uzumaki who were still confused besides Kai and Shikamaru.

The purpose of this mission is to find the fifth generation of Naruto Senju Tsunade, and cooperate with Jiraiya to prevent possible Orochimaru, and even kill the opponent.

"...This mission is very important to Konoha Village, so there is no room for loss." After Jiraiya shared the general situation of this mission, Zhuanzhu Xiaochun was stern to the four young ninjas standing in the middle of the conference room. He said: "During the mission, you must closely follow Jiraiya and obey the command. You must bring the fifth Hokage back to Konoha safely and soundly!"

"Understood!" The four young ninjas replied in unison, even Uzumaki Naruto, who escaped, would not dare to be presumptuous in such an occasion.

"If there is no problem, I will give you an hour to prepare." Jiraiya looked at the clock hanging on the wall of the meeting room, and said to the four of them: "I will wait for you at the gate of Konoha Village , assemble there on time at nine o'clock, and then set off."

While talking, Jilai had already walked in front of the four teenagers. His tall body and expressionless face exuded an oppressive force, which was different from the three elders in the conference room at this time who had grown up because of their high positions. The imposing manner, the oppressive force brought by Jiraiya is purely due to personal strength, after looking around Shikamaru and the other four, Jiraiya said slowly: "Disband!"

As soon as Jiraiya's voice fell, Shikamaru and others filed out of the conference room. Shika gave Choji Akimichi a look with his eyes, and the two fell behind slightly, watching Kai and the excited Uzumaki Naruto leave separately. .

"Be careful of that Chunin named Kaikai." Shikamaru looked at Kaikai's back, narrowed his eyes slightly and said to Akimichi Choji.

"What's wrong with him?" Choji Akimichi asked with a frown. He and Uzumaki Naruto had the same bad first impression of Kai, and the extremely obvious fake smile made people feel disgusted.

"He followed me yesterday and fought once after I found out. After I wounded him, he ran away." Shikamaru explained.

"Why is he following you!?" Choji Akimichi asked suspiciously.

Shikamaru shook his head when he heard the words, and replied: "I don't know too well, so I tell you to be careful with him. When Elder Mitomenyan gave me the task alone, he hinted that this person was recommended by Shimura Danzo. The one who joined the team, Shimura Danzo, is a militarist who once competed with the Third Hokage, and Elder Mito told me to be vigilant."

"Didn't you wound him when you fought against that kaikai before? Shouldn't he be your opponent?" After hearing Shikamaru's words, Akimichi Choji thought about it. After all, the opponent is a chunin and strong He should be higher than them, but thinking about what Shikamaru just said, he relaxed a little.

"He will use a ninjutsu that transforms into an animal to fly. I haven't thought of an effective way to deal with it yet." Shikamaru shook his head and said, "Unless he uses the terrain to restrict his ninjutsu, or does not Give him time to perform ninjutsu, otherwise he will easily escape and use the distance advantage to fight."

"I'm learning the technique of 'Super Multiplication' recently, but my current chakra is not enough. I need to take special medicine to successfully use it." After thinking for a while, Akimichi Choji said to Shikamaru: "If he If his flying speed is not unattainable, I can completely attack him."
