Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 210 The Prophet

Tianzang, Shikamaru, Doto and Kuki looked at each other in blank dismay.

It is said that a really good plan is always as simple as possible, because complex steps mean that accidents are more likely to happen, and the result of too many uncertain factors will lead to the failure of the plan.

For ordinary people, even a night raid is not a simple matter.

The plan formulated by Tianzang was as simple as possible. Even so, the success of the previous series of tasks was due to the fact that several of them were ninjas, and their execution ability and quality were superior to others.It is impossible to do this with ordinary soldiers.

Just the task of guiding servants to set fire to cause riots is a very complicated task for ordinary people.

It's just that the previous difficult steps have been completed very well, but now there is a problem in this link that should have no mistakes.

Kusanagi didn't come after him.

When Tianzang and Dodo climbed over the wall and walked away, they deliberately made Okamura Keiyoshi see the direction they were leaving, and Kazuya Nakwon who was captured face to face was also a figure that Kusanagi could not ignore. It is impossible for ninjas not to chase after them, even if they suspect that there is a trap ahead, but for ninjas, some things cannot be avoided.

The behavior of "avoiding war" is enough to ruin the reputation of a ninja.

But the current situation is that after Dodori and Tianzang joined Kuki, they waited for a long time but did not see Kusanagi appearing. They were worried that the three people who were surrounded could only continue to move and join Shikamaru. After the gathering, there was still no sign of Kusanagi.

Tianzang, Dodori and Jiugui were full of question marks, only Shikamaru was thoughtful, but he was not sure about some guesses.

"Look at what I'm doing..." Seeing Dodo and Jiugui looking at him, Tianzang couldn't help but wryly smiled and said, "I'm not the "savior" that Mr. Ziraiya said, so I can't count everything—it seems Things have changed in ways I didn't expect."

Du Niao and Jiu Gui looked at each other, but they also knew that what Tianzang said was the truth, and they couldn't blame him at all.

After Shikamaru heard Tianzang's words, his heart moved.

Perhaps it is because of the habit of scoffing at the so-called "prophecy" as a modern person in the previous life, although Shikamaru, who is familiar with the original work, knows that Jiraiya and the so-called "son of prophecy" in his mouth are an important clue for the second Shippuden, He never paid much attention to it.

However, Tenzo's half-joking words seemed to be enlightening, which made Shikamaru startled.In Konoha Village, even in the ninja world, many people believe the statement that is inexplicable and even full of magic stick in his eyes!

In the final analysis, it is Jiraiya, one of the legendary "Three Ninjas" who said this. This Konoha ninja known as the "Madman" left Konoha Village alone when he became famous. He has no regrets at all, just looking for the "son of prophecy" he called, his strength and behavior have a hint of mystery. When his disciple Namikaze Minato shines on the battlefield, he is either in awe or admiration The ninja of Namikaze Minato also put Jiraiya's "son of prophecy" rumors on him.

It can be said that Jiraiya's greatest help to Namikaze Minato is not the teaching of knowledge, but the title of "Son of Prophecy" that Jiraiya has always talked about and shrouded in a mysterious halo.

Shikamaru still remembers the "doomsday prophecy" that was heard almost endlessly in the previous life. This kind of prophecy is made almost every year, but some people always believe it. What's more, the person who said these words is still a living legend - Zirai also.

Of course, it is undeniable that although Minato's success has Jiraiya's help, what is more important is his own ability. If he wants to rely on his mouth to disguise himself, he will look down on other ninjas.

but…….

Shikamaru glanced at Tianzang, and this incident also made him understand that in Konoha Village, except for Xiaoqiang and other ninjas of the same class, other people are not irresistible, they just need more skills and time.

"What should we do now?" Shikamaru said to Tenzang, "Since Kusanagi didn't come after us, I think it's best for us to go back to the village first."

"Just go back like this?" Kuki questioned after hearing the words, and Tori also looked at Shikamaru dissatisfied.

The two of them reacted normally. The task of the third team is to teach Cao Ninja Village a lesson through actions to achieve the purpose of killing chickens and monkeys. Although the three of them snatched He Zhaizhongquan from Kusunin who had twice as many people as their own, it was barely achieved. purpose, but as members of Anbu, they expect better results.

After all, it is not impossible for the four members of the third team to wipe out the enemy. It only takes a little time, and it is not impossible to counter-kill Kusunin who has more numbers. In this case, Shikamaru is suspected of avoiding the war.

"That female ninja is a sentient ninja. It's not easy to fight with the goal of total annihilation. This is the capital of the country of grass. We can't make too much trouble here, and grass ninja village is not far away. If we It’s not good to be copied from the rear during the battle.” Shikamaru said slowly: “The most important thing is that for Konoha today, manpower is the most scarce time, since the original purpose of the mission has been achieved , we don't need to spend any time here—I have a bad feeling."

Shikamaru did not lie, the death of Yakushidou will definitely directly lead to the continuous deterioration of Orochimaru who lost his medical assistant, and he will definitely send an invitation to Sasuke Uchiha at an earlier time in the original book. The emotional fluctuations faintly conveyed by Zhongren made Shikamaru affirm his guess, and the junior ninja who came to celebrate the day he became a Chunin did not see Sasuke Uchiha, and one can imagine the stimulation of this incident to Sasuke Uchiha.

In other words, the time for Uchiha Sasuke to escape from Konoha Village will only be earlier than the original book, not later.

Shikamaru may not be able to accurately predict the specific time when Sasuke Uchiha defected, but as long as the four members of the third team follow the route between the land of the land where the Otoshi village is located and the fire country on the way back, they will be able to meet The manpower sent by Orochimaru.

If there are still four Otonin as in the original book, the contribution of the third team will be great—as long as one Otonin can be captured, it is equivalent to having a living source of information, which is of great significance to Konoha Village unimportant.

Of course, it is impossible for Shikamaru to reveal his curse seal to Kuki and Dodo.

"Bad premonition!?" Kuki's voice revealed a dissatisfied attitude. He who didn't know Shikamaru obviously thought Shikamaru's words were just excuses and excuses: "We are ninjas, not monks who enshrine Buddha statues in temples. A premonition is not a reason to give up fighting, let alone you can know what happened in a village thousands of miles away?"

Shikamaru gave Kuki a cold look, and didn't answer his question, but said to Tianzang: "Captain, can you speak for a while?"

Tianzang hesitated slightly, but still nodded in agreement with Shikamaru's request, and the two entered the dense forest, keeping a certain distance from Jiugui and Dodo to ensure that the conversation would not be heard, and then stopped.

"I suspect that Sasuke Uchiha is going to escape from the village without authorization." After Shikamaru stopped, he said in a low voice.

"What!?" Shikamaru's words were a bit sensational, but Tianzang, who had studied Shikamaru's information, also knew that he was not a villain who slandered others behind his back, so he asked solemnly: "This is just your guess? There is evidence !?"

Although Uchiha Sasuke is just a ninja now, he has an invisible potential in himself with Sharingan. What's more, as an organization, Konoha Village can't say that ninjas can come and go whenever they want, God It is also understandable that Tibet attaches great importance to this.

Even though he was wearing a mask, Shikamaru could feel Tenzo's tone, and he couldn't help but think about what he was about to say.

Pretending to be a ghost is not easy, especially if the target is a shrewd ninja. It is obviously not feasible to pretend to be a "prophet" with a magic stick. ", or simply shook his head with a smile and said, "I can't say it."

Admiration and even sublimation of this emotion to convincing make the individual mysterious in the eyes of others. It needs uninterrupted victory and correct guidance of other people's feelings. Maybe Shikamaru can only provide the result but not the "prophecy" of the process. Things, he is familiar with the original work and he can pretend to be a "prophet", but this kind of effect is actually the worst - you can be a magic stick that fails when it fails, but you can't make a convincing one from the bottom of your heart. "Savior".

Inform the other party of what may happen, and then tell how you combined all kinds of delicate and inconspicuous information one by one to obtain intelligence—this kind of behavior can better reflect your own ability.

Shikamaru, who is already familiar with the original work, is not very difficult to deduce from the known information. Of course, the world is full of variables, and sometimes the information that Shikamaru can declare is limited, which makes his inferences "uncertain" factor", but at this time he can smile like a magic stick, point to his head and say it is "intuition"-but not now.

To use an analogy, a certain person knows the result of betting on horses, and he and his friends pretend to do a lot of calculations, and finally delineate the winning champion within a few horses, but this person chooses only one of them arbitrarily. One of the numbers, and finally won the prize.

The reason why this person expends such effort is nothing more than to show that he has both luck and ability.After this happens many times, other people will be convinced of his ability. When one day he randomly takes out a few numbers and asks his friends to hold down a lot of money, the other party may hesitate, but when he says that he is not Will only buy one number, but after buying all of them, out of trust in his ability, it is very likely to agree.

If this person only used "prophecy" to communicate with friends in the past, he may not be able to do so. After all, compared to the illusory "luck" and "fate", personal ability is still more reliable.

What Shikamaru has to do is to tell those "gamblers" that the result of victory is not only due to luck, but more importantly, by virtue of his Nara Shikamaru's own ability.

Is there anyone in this world who is more suitable to play the role of "son of prophecy" and "savior" than him, a traverser! ?
