After the battle, Shikamaru threw the corpses of the two wild samurai into the woods. As for the burial, there is not enough time to throw them directly into the sea. In fact, Shikamaru is diligent. After all, Tsunami and Inari are just women and children. Shikamaru would not let them be responsible for cleaning up the corpses.

However, Shikamaru didn't wash the puddles of blood left in Dazna's house, and the two of them should be able to accept it reluctantly.

The materials of this building are simple, and the sound insulation effect is extremely poor. The sound of fighting downstairs naturally reached the ears of Tsunami and Inari. Although Shikamaru has always shown a confident appearance, Dazna also trusts him. But personal safety is in the hands of others, so it is naturally hard to feel at ease. Tsunami remembered Shikamaru's words, and even though she was very panicked and worried, she still hugged the trembling Inari, comforting her in a low voice, and the two stayed quietly together. Room.

After a while, the overwhelmed creaking sound of the slightly old wooden stairs sounded one after another. Tsunami's heart tightened, and her hands holding Inari involuntarily strengthened until she heard a light knock on the door. He let out a sigh of relief - if it was someone who was trying to catch them, he wouldn't be so polite.

Inari turned his head to look at the opened door, saw Shikamaru's familiar figure appearing, and unconsciously choked up: "Brother Shikamaru!"

I was nervous before, and I focused all my attention on the voice from downstairs. Now I saw Shikamaru appearing. After relaxing, my small face couldn't help but wrinkle into a ball, and snot and tears flowed out, looking pitiful .

Seeing Inari's appearance, Shikamaru laughed dumbfounded, and said to Tsunami: "The two wild samurai under Kado have been dealt with, and I have dealt with the corpse, but there are still some blood stains downstairs, if you think If you are not used to it, just wait upstairs for a while."

Tsunami turned pale when she heard Shikamaru say the word "corpse", but after thinking about Shikamaru's suggestion, she shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter."

"That's good." Hearing the words, Shikamaru smiled lightly, and did not persuade him too much. He does not despise women, and always treats them as equals, so he will not say anything more earnestly. He looked at the time and said : "Kado should be about to reach the bridge at this time, and I will lead the fishermen to rush there in a while."

Inari, who lowered his head and wiped his tears, raised his head quickly when he heard Shikamaru's words, and asked intermittently, "I'm leaving now? Can I go together?"

"No!" Out of mother's caring instinct, Tsunami flatly refused: "It's too dangerous there, Inari!"

"This is the time to defend the land of waves!" Inari blushed and argued angrily: "Mom, how can you be so selfish!"

Seeing that Tsunami's brows were bristling, showing a tendency to get angry, Shikamaru frowned, and interjected: "You can ask Inari to come with me, and I will take good care of him."

On a real battlefield, if you brazenly guarantee the safety of someone, it is either that the person has not been on the battlefield, or he is lying. However, in this rebellion, the role of the people of the Kingdom of Waves is actually mostly as a deterrent. Shikamaru did not He is not really prepared to let him confront the thugs under Kaduo head-on. This kind of person has a weak personality and is prone to ungratefulness. If there are some casualties, these people may instead hate Shikamaru who organized this battle.

Although Tsunami didn't know this, but she had heard a little about the strength of Kado's two wild warriors. Seeing Shikamaru's understatement now, it was obvious that it didn't take much effort to kill these two, and, even if In addition, the time it took for Shikamaru to simply dispose of the corpses of the two wild samurai was only about ten minutes at this time. The strength of this side-by-side comparison made Tsunami feel a little relieved. What's more, Inari participated in this rebellion. Going in is actually a good thing, Dazna is old, Kesha is dead, people are forgetful, even if the two men in this family have fought and sacrificed for the freedom of the country of Bo and its people, there is no guarantee that people Always keep this in mind. Although Inari is young, he also played a significant role in this rebellion. This is enough to ensure that he will have a certain position in the hearts of the people of the Kingdom of Waves in the future. Yes. There are benefits to growing up in the future.

Thinking of this, Tsunami stepped forward and rubbed Inari's hair with a complicated expression. In her heart, she was not sure whether doing so would be good or bad for Inari, but this stubborn child obviously wouldn't Knowing her mother's painstaking efforts, Tsunami could only smile wryly, stood up, bowed to Shikamaru and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you!"

Seeing this, Inari couldn't help laughing through his tears. After Tsunami straightened up, she gave him a serious order: "You must follow Shikamaru-kun when the time comes, and listen to him!"

"Don't worry, Mom!" Inari scratched the back of his head with a smirk, turned to look at Shikamaru and said, "I will definitely follow Shikamaru brother closely."

The corners of Shikamaru's mouth tugged, and he smiled at Inari. The reason why he said to take care of Inari was because he was just a child. If he didn't listen to the advice, he could just knock him unconscious and take him away. Choji and Ino, even if Shikamaru is much stronger, it is difficult to take care of them in a fierce fighting environment.

…………

At this time, the fog had completely dissipated, and the red sun hanging high above the blue sky unscrupulously swayed the heat.

Dazna put down the tools in his hands profusely with sweat, and wiped his face with the towel on his shoulders, even if it was just for show, but the bridge was surrounded by sea water, without any cover, and was directly exposed to the scorching sun. With the sea breeze blowing, it will not be unbearable.

Compared with Dazna, Asma, who was leisurely smoking a cigarette, was as if nothing had happened, lying on the railing of the bridge, watching some seabirds pass by the sea, and grabbed sea fish from them. He is a ninja on a mission, but he is as relaxed and free as a tourist who comes here for sightseeing. The scorching sun and the upcoming battle seem to have no effect on him.

This casualness and demeanor made Dazna admire in his heart, even if he was over fifty years old, he still couldn't have this kind of self-confidence.

"Mr. Asma." However, Dazna still had some doubts in his heart, and the Kaduo incident was about to end, so he hesitated for a moment, and finally stepped forward to ask Asma: "You ninjas, should you Is it forbidden to provoke disputes during the mission!? Shikamaru helps us formulate a battle plan, and it can also be just an auxiliary suggestion. Protecting Tsunami and Inari can also be barely counted as part of the mission, but dealing with Kado, it has seriously exceeded Your responsibilities have been covered!" Asma's deliberate evasion these days has actually explained many problems, and Dazna has seen it all, but thinking of this possibility, this stubborn and sincere old man feels a little uneasy and guilty. .

"Mr. Dazna, you are worrying too much, but you are able to say this, which also proves that Shikamaru's painstaking efforts are not in vain!" Asma opened her mouth and exhaled a smoke ring, with a smile on her face, she said sincerely : "Shikamaru has a peer, no, or even many adults who don't have the careful thinking and stamina. Although Kado is a world-renowned rich man, when he decided to lead his men to come , in the eyes of Shikamaru, he is already a dead person!"

"Because..." Asma turned her head and saw that Dazna still had some doubts on her face, she said lightly: "When Kado really stands in front of us, he can be counted as an 'enemy' , beheaded, what is against the rules!"

Seeing Dazina's shocked face, Asma's heart is actually not at peace. The world-renowned rich man can also avoid the removal of future troubles. This courage and strategy are no longer tolerated by mere ninja .

"I really have taken in a great apprentice..."
