Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 260 Seven Heartless

When Shikamaru killed Kakuto and re-entered the base of Otonin Village, he noticed something abnormal. The interior of this underground building was already in chaos. After getting information from an Otonin, I finally understand why the situation has developed to this point.

The sao movement caused by the white phosphorous snake has long been known to other Otonin in the base. When Uchiha Sasuke and Onide Suigetsu left, some Otonin also found Orochimaru’s body. place.

Some people believe that Orochimaru is dead, while others still firmly believe that Orochimaru is still alive. No one dares to run away immediately, but they don't know what to do.

Snapped!

Otonin was grabbed by Shikamaru's throat and pressed against the wall. The spiritual energy gathered from Shikamaru's palm like a tide, wrapping Otonin's whole body, only his head was exposed.

"Oshemaru is not here, who is in charge here?" Shikamaru asked calmly, but the illusion power constantly impacting Otonin's mind made his peaceful expression still look like a ghost in the eyes of the other party.

Orochimaru, who was forced to abandon the container, wanted to take the body of Uchiha Sasuke, but unfortunately the time has not yet come. Have you prepared the reincarnation ceremony? Looking at the current situation, Uchiha Sasuke has been suppressed or killed, and Shikamaru is not interested in chasing it. Killing Sasuke, his focus is more on taking over the legacy of Orochimaru.

"Hirano, Hirano Yasuo." Otonin replied hastily.

"Take me to him!" Shikamaru withdrew his palm when he heard the words, and after the spiritual energy returned to his body, Otonin collapsed on the ground, sweating profusely, panting constantly, looking at Shikamaru with fearful eyes from time to time. He resisted, perhaps because he thought that Yasuo Hirano had more Otonin around him, so he could capture Shikamaru himself.

It's just that Shikamaru didn't take the thought in his heart into consideration.If the ninjas of Otonin Village flee because of Orochimaru's death, they will probably wreak havoc in the territory of Tanokuni, causing many troubles and causing Shikamaru a lot of trouble, so the top priority now is to stabilize these people with power far beyond ordinary people ninjas.

After Shikamaru came to a place where Otonin gathered with Otonin, what happened next seemed clichéd and rough.

Intimidation, threats, and oppressive powers, for these ninjas who have been enslaved by Orochimaru for many years, it is ridiculous to expect them to be influenced by love and peace. The power and means to make them fear from the heart are the most direct An effective way to control - after all, Shikamaru never really thought about keeping all the sound ninja.

After Shikamaru chopped off the heads of six noisy Otonin Jinnin in a breath, the Otonin gathered in the hall was completely silent, and the blood and killing shocked them. These ninjas who seemed rebellious a moment ago are now For a moment, he became as quiet as a good baby.

"Whoever walks out of this hall, I will kill him!" Shikamaru said lightly, throwing the head under his feet, and said to the Otonin who gathered in the hall.

Hirano Yasuo was also silent, but Shikamaru turned around and asked him, "Are you Hirano Yasuo?"

"...Yes." If it weren't for a ninja who was willing to submit to power, Yasuo Hirano and many Otonin would not have survived under Da Shemaru for so long. Hearing Shikamaru's question at this time, Yasuo Hirano became fluent after a little hesitation replied.

"Oshemaru has been killed by me. From today onwards, I will be the leader of Otonin Village, do you understand?" Shikamaru stared at the other party and asked coldly.

"..." Yasuo Hirano struggled, but seeing Shikamaru narrowing his eyes dangerously, he quickly replied, "I understand."

"Very good." Shikamaru could vaguely feel whether the other party was lying or not. Although Yasuo Hirano's answer seemed unwilling, he was just worried that Orochimaru was not dead and would be retaliated. When he really saw the white phosphorus Orochi After seeing the dead body, you will understand that although you can't be a loyal subordinate, you can still be regarded as a good assistant.

…………

Snapped!

Shikamaru closed the document in his hand, closed his eyes and began to think.

There are 62 ninjas in Yinnin Village, 28 upper ninjas, [-] middle ninjas, and [-] lower ninjas. However, according to the level of Konoha Village, the level of these ninjas is estimated to be lowered by one level. That's enough, but it's too weak for Ninja Village in other countries. In the past, if it weren't for Orochimaru, a strong man with the strength of the leaders of the five Ninja Villages, it would be impossible to defeat Kusanagi Village.

The death rate of zhongnin is very high, and it has been replenished constantly. Therefore, among the 28 zhongnin, many of them are barely stronger than ordinary people, but they can be somewhat guaranteed after they are promoted to zhongnin. This is why the number of zhongnin The reason is that there are more ninjas and ninjas combined.

Most of these ninjas are gathered in the central yang stronghold where Shikamaru is located, while the other ninjas are scattered and stationed at his disposal base.

Orochimaru has many strongholds and secret research institutes in Tanokuni. Yasuo Hirano is not sure that he knows all of them, but he knows the news about the southern strongholds and northern secret research institutes that Shikamaru is slightly interested in. The information and intelligence of the central yang stronghold where it is located, even including the secret room of Orochimaru.

Yasuo Hirano stood in the room with his hands down. He was unexpectedly young, with short gray hair, slightly dark skin, a handsome face, and a reserved expression.He still doesn't know Shikamaru's habits and personality, and he is worried that his ability to show is not enough to attract the other party's attention, so he seems a little uneasy.

"From now on, no Otonin is allowed to leave the base without my order. If any Otonin escapes, I will only ask you," Shikamaru pondered for a long time, then suddenly opened his eyes, and said in a low voice to Yasuo Hirano The order said, "I want to leave here temporarily and go to other strongholds to have a look. When I come back, if I find that you have not carried out my order well, you will commit suicide and apologize - believe me, that way you will be more relaxed."

The corners of Yasuo Hirano's eyes twitched slightly, both surprised and delighted, the mission Shikamaru gave him showed that he was still useful to Shikamaru, but the consequences of mission failure were also very serious, he never thought of taking the opportunity to escape, when Shikamaru After Maru revealed his identity to him, Yasuo Hirano knew that he had no hope of escaping and fighting. At the age of 13, he became a genius who shocked the ninja world. Afterwards, especially after seeing the corpse of the white phosphorous snake, his little hope was finally completely shattered.

…………

The southern stronghold is actually a prison specially used by Orochimaru to detain prisoners, and the manager here is Shikamaru’s acquaintance, Xiang Lin from Kusanagi Village. Perhaps Orochimaru is interested in his perception ability, which can prevent fugitives from appearing , but these are not important to Shikamaru.

Shikamaru cares more about Xianglin, who is a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, than Chonggo at the Northern Secret Institute, so this is his first destination after leaving the Zhongyang stronghold.

The stronghold is the same as Orochimaru's previous style, hidden deep underground, cold and humid, and can smell a pungent odor.

Kaorin discovered the abnormality almost at the same time Shikamaru stepped into the stronghold. She felt unbelievable at first, and couldn't understand why Shikamaru appeared here, but this familiar chakra was deeply embedded in her mind. It is absolutely impossible to go wrong.

She hesitated in her heart, the central yang stronghold was controlled by Shikamaru in the first place, the news of Orochimaru's killing had not yet spread, and now Xianglin didn't know how to face Shikamaru.

To leave with him, or...Xianglin was struggling, but was surprised that the Shikamaru Chakra in his perception suddenly disappeared, and then appeared in another place. With the transfer of Shikamaru Chakra, the energy representing the life of Otonin dissipated one by one.

"Oops." Kaorin felt that Shikamaru had killed the last Otonin, and couldn't help trembling. She hadn't been overwhelmed by the longing, and knew that she had only been in unrequited love all this time, and she didn't know why Shikamaru came here The purpose, will you still miss the old love, or raise the butcher's knife with a murderous nature?

Shikamaru didn't know Kaorin's uneasy mood. He never thought of relying on Otonin to help him complete the change. The reason why he appeased the ninjas in the central yang base was just to prevent them from causing trouble. Shikamaru's dispatch can at least guarantee a certain degree of loyalty, and Shikamaru will naturally not leave anyone alive.

Following the information from Otonin, Shikamaru walked slowly to the room where Kaorin was.

boom!

Kaorin noticed that Shikamaru stayed outside the door for a while, and was feeling a little puzzled. Suddenly, the door was suddenly pushed open by Shikamaru from the outside, and Shikamaru strode into the room with a smile on his face, facing Tankou The slightly opened Xianglin said: "We meet again, Xianglin."

He still remembers me!Xianglin was delighted in her heart, but she looked very reserved on her face. She frowned and said, "Shikamaru? Why are you here." She deliberately looked at the destroyed door, "And you are very rude to do this!"

Shikamaru has long been different than before, his thinking is unprecedentedly clear, and Kaorin's every move, momentary dodge of eyes and subtle changes in expression cannot be hidden from his eyes, deceiving him.

So Shikamaru was slightly taken aback, feeling the true attitude of Kaorin, suddenly felt that the original rhetoric and methods were no longer needed, and said directly: "Come with me, Kaorin, I need your help."

"If you are worried about Orochimaru, don't worry, he is dead." Seeing that Xianglin did not answer immediately, he continued: "And I am not begging you now, you should understand that you are not qualified to bargain."

"Come with me, or I will leave with your body." Shikamaru said in a calm, even cold voice.

As soon as his words fell, Xiang Lin staggered back two steps like being hit by a heavy hammer, and sat on a chair with a face as pale as paper.
