Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 19 Spoils of War

The blood from the head that was never cut off gushed out like a fountain, and when it fell in mid-air, it was like a rain of blood, pouring on Shikamaru who was nearby, and the body at the feet of the dead body that was never cut off again. "Feiyan" was also covered in this bloody water, and was plated with a dark red color.

The head that was not cut off still kept an angry expression. At this time, it rolled slightly on the ground, as if staring at Shikamaru. Some blood was sprinkled on the bandage wrapped around the face, rendering dark red marks , even more ferocious.

But in the face of all this, Shikamaru is naturally indifferent. The power of a ninja not only comes from the body, but also has the inspiration and guidance of a strong will and spirit. The beheading made Shikamaru feel dreadful and terrifying.

The dense fog caused by Zabuju gradually faded away. Although there was still a little bit of fog, it could not affect everyone's sight. Asuma Sarutobi held the "Flying Swallow" and slowly moved the condensed flames on it. Carat dispersed, but still stared warily at the short ninja wearing the mask of the Kirigakure assassination force. Although he no longer fought on the bright side, but as ninjas, competition and war are everywhere, and hatred is everywhere. Aspen Although Ma herself doesn't have much malice towards the Kirigakure ninja, she must be defensive.

"Kistokaku Assassin's Troop!?" Shiro stood on the branches and leaves of a tree in the distance, holding the trunk lightly with one hand. Asma's appearance and expression covered by the mask were unknown to Asma, but he looked like a teenager in height. Assassin Although the ninjas in the army do not necessarily have to be jounin, they must also be at the level of chunin, and they are all outstanding people with extremely high potential. This person can be responsible for chasing and killing Momoji, and he must have something extraordinary.

Asma thought of this, she involuntarily glanced at Shikamaru, who was covered in blood all over her body by Zabuzhan, but still looked as if nothing had happened, holding a kunai, who was also vigilantly on guard: "Even in peacetime, this kind of let There will be no fewer monsters that surprise people!"

"Are you Kirigakure's ninja?" Seeing that Shiro didn't respond for a long time, Asma frowned slightly, and finally raised her voice to ask.

"No," the young man muttered to himself, and finally there was movement. He raised his left hand, and gently took off his mask, revealing a delicate and delicate young face. The crystal liquid flowed from the corner of his eyes, but there was no choking or sadness. face, people are not sure whether he is crying: "I am not!"

After Bai finished speaking, he ignored the reaction of Asma and others, and suddenly rushed towards Shikamaru.

Shikamaru, who had always been vigilant, naturally reacted in time, and formed a seal with both hands: "Shadow Clone Technique!" One was separated to entangle Shiro, the other quickly retreated, and Asma also rushed to support Shikamaru.

"Shadow Mimicry!"

"Magic mirror ice crystal!" Shiro avoided Shikamaru's shadow, and created an ice crystal to resist Asma's attack. At the same time, he quickly formed a seal with one hand, and his flexible fingers kept changing: "Water escape! The art of water flow!"

The water rushes straight to the back, pinning down Shiro Shikamaru with the shadow imitation technique, but the slow speed of the water makes it easy for him to avoid it.

"Secret technique! Sensha Shuixiang!" The water turned into countless ice Senben in an instant, sinking into Shikamaru's body, Shiro seemed to have seen the astonishment and panic in Shikamaru's eyes.

Dedicated to killing Shikamaru, Shiro, who didn't defend himself at all, endured Asma's attack. A terrible wound was drawn on his chest, and his body was almost cut in half. Before he lost consciousness, he faintly heard "Bang! " a soft sound.

…………

Shikamaru and Asma looked at the young man with a peaceful smile on his face in silence. After a long time, Shikamaru sighed and said, "It's safe and sound!"

Asma heard the words and nodded. At this time, her attention was not on the beheading sword, but she was staring at Bai's corpse. In this world where ninjas are the fighting force, the existence of the blood succession limit boundary is very important for a ninja. From the perspective of the village, the importance is self-evident. Although Bai is dead, if the corpse is sent to the Konoha Corpse Disposal Team, a lot of information and secrets can be obtained.

As for carrying the corpse, there is no need to worry. Asma carries a scroll of sealed items on her body, which is more than enough to seal the corpses of Zabuzhan and Bai.

On the way to seal the body of Asma, Shikamaru ran to the small lake alone to wash his body, and simply carried a change of clothes in his backpack. This set of clothes, which had been completely stained red with blood, could not be thrown away casually, even at this time The battle is over, but caution is a point emphasized repeatedly in the ninja rules, and it must be properly hidden.

…………

The poverty of the people in the land of waves, except Shikamaru's familiarity with the original work, was beyond the expectations of the three of Asma, and it also made the Konoha ninjas who belonged to the "righteous camp" even though they were ninjas a little angry.

Looking at Asma's ugly face, Shikamaru felt very normal at this time. Exposure to the sun naturally meant that he would be bound by the so-called "morality" and "justice" of the secular world. In troubled times, Violence is naturally the best way to solve most things, but killing and violence are actually just a means in the eyes of the strong. What ninjas pursue is power, not meaningless killing. In the ranks of ninjas, there are naturally few lunatics who advocate chaos. Such people will definitely be rejected by the mainstream, and as a factor of instability, they will often be suppressed by high-level officials.

In Shikamaru's view, the kind of people who obviously don't need to kill people, and want to kill ordinary people to show their "decisiveness", but their hearts are extremely fragile. If they kill 1000 people, they can get several times the rewards. Power, Shikamaru will not be stingy in using violence, but if it is meaningless and purposeful killing, not only will you not get power, but you may also get the resentment of many people in this world. Who said that people in troubled times only have darkness in their hearts?People in the dark yearn for the light even more in their hearts. Maybe the light is hidden deep in their hearts, but it can still make them feel bad for a person who has never seen him.Killing for no reason is itself a manifestation of threatening the safety of others. If you don't get power far beyond ordinary people, you will only perish under the attack of a group.

If it is said that the most useful thing Shikamaru learned in his previous life is not rich knowledge, but the ability and spirit of researching and insight into the essence of anything, this insight enables Shikamaru to develop tactical plans in peacetime or determine the future path. All of these have played a huge role. The layout and calculations are just small ways, and it is impossible to predict the changes by insight into the essence of things and people's hearts.

The task of Shikamaru and the others is to protect Datsuna until the bridge is built, so even though Zabuchi and Shiro are dead, they still have to stay by his side.

As the trophy of Asma and others, the huge beheading sword had no reason to discard it. It was carried by the tall Sarutobi Asma, and together with the three ninjas from the tenth class, they followed Dazna to his home. Afterwards, the young woman Tsunami warmly received the four of them.

The stranger who came to visit suddenly, and in a conspicuous ninja costume, naturally alarmed Dazna's grandson, Inari, but after the bloody fight, the three ninjas, including Asma and Shikamaru, were not yet mentally complete. Relaxed, with a tense expression, especially Shikamaru, although he was simply washed with lake water, but there was still a lingering bloody smell on his body, which made Inari feel timid.

I had a dinner at Dazna's house. The country of Wave is now almost isolated from the world, and the resources are poor. It is a luxury to be able to eat enough, so the dinner is naturally not a big one, but the ninja can bear it. .

(I'm very tired today, so I'll do less..., hide my face and run away...)
