Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 270 Notice

The heavy rain was pouring down like a pour, and the gust of wind wrapped in raindrops kept beating on the windows, crackling like firecrackers.

Wearing loose casual clothes and an outer apron, Yuri Hong walked into the dining room with a plate, and softly called Sarutobi Asma who was leisurely reading the newspaper on the sofa in the living room: "Dinner is ready."

Sarutobi Asma responded, put the cigarette butt in his mouth in the ashtray to extinguish it, went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and sat at the dining table impatiently, smelling the aroma of the food, showing a satisfied smile meaning.

Seeing his funny appearance, Xi Rihong couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and pursed her lips into a smile. After a while, after a little hesitation, she still asked, "Have you heard the recent rumors?"

"What rumor?" Sarutobi Asma answered absent-mindedly, and kept putting food in his mouth, asking vaguely.

"Tianzhiguo." Xirihong lowered her voice, as if she had some ulterior secret.

"You mean Shikamaru?" Sarutobi Asma slowed down and asked in a deep voice after putting down his job, "What's the current attitude in the village?"

Since the finger was injured, Sarutobi Asma has been transferred to the education department, and no longer holds the position of the combat department. He has not participated in some combat meetings and strategy meetings, so many times, he does not know as much as Xiri Hong .

"...It's a quarrel, but I haven't decided to take action yet." Yuri Hong subconsciously looked around before replying, "The elders headed by Shimura Danzo, and the radicals think that we should rely on force To arrest or execute Shikamaru, there is another side who thinks that we should stand still and observe the movement. After all, Shikamaru has never done any substantial harm to Konoha before, so it should not be so radical... And he actually killed Orochimaru, I don’t know The current strength has reached the point where the village needs more information."

Asma Sarutobi smiled silently. In fact, for the moderate faction, the latter sentence is the key point. After all, Shikamaru's declaration not long ago did not leave Konoha Village any favors, and he was still unceremonious. Tell Konoha not to send any ninjas into Tianzhi Country. Although this is not a declaration of war, it will be regarded as a provocation by many people, especially Shikamaru was born in Konoha Village, which is even more unbearable for many people. If it wasn't for the incidental news that confirmed that Orochimaru, who was famous in the ninja world, died at the hands of Shikamaru, there wouldn't be so many moderate factions in the village now.

"He killed Orochimaru, occupied Tian Zhiguo, and threatened that any ninja who dared to step into its territory would surely die. What exactly did he want to do!?" Yurihong frowned slightly, muttering to herself.

"I have never seen through him. Every time I think I see through what he does, but the results of the facts often surprise me. I don't understand what he thinks now, and I can't influence him now, so... ...," Sarutobi Asma smiled slightly, and shrugged helplessly towards Xirihong, "I can only be like you and see what he will do next."

…………

What will Shikamaru do next?

When he was dormant, as a chess piece, he had the strength of a chess player. Now, his power has gradually grown. In the ninja world, he is already one of the chess players who manipulates the chess pieces and fights against the enemy on the chessboard. His Thinking has long been outside the chessboard, deploying step by step and planning to kill the game in order to win the final victory.

For Shikamaru, the defense system of Konoha Village is completely riddled with holes, and it is horrible. His footprints are all over the village, and he has left countless "Black Magic. Ten Directions" seals as the coordinates.

The wind whistled, and there was faint thunder coming from among the clouds. The rainwater falling from the eaves and the wooden floor did not even cause any changes due to the sudden appearance of Shikamaru. Boy, it wasn't here just a moment ago.

"Who is it!?" There was a burst of angry shouts from the opposite wooden door, and Shikamaru was able to see through Shikamaru's superb space ninjutsu in the first place.

It's just that it's not inconceivable for the head of the Ri Xiang family with white eyes.Shikamaru smiled silently, stepped forward and opened the wooden door, and stepped into this antique Japanese-style house.

The lingering smoke emanating from the incense burner in the middle of the house made the figure of the man in the oversized kimono opposite Shikamaru appear unreal.

"Nara Shikamaru!?" Shikamaru's stern gaze shifted from the huge chakra emanating from Shikamaru's body to his face, his face was cold and stern, combined with the prominent blood vessels around his eyes, it was even more ferocious , "You still dare to go to Muye Village?"

"Why not?" Shikamaru raised his eyebrows indifferently, and stepped forward with his hands behind his back, with a relaxed and comfortable expression, like a master watching his own garden, "Who can stop me?"

As Shikamaru said, ignoring Rixiang's brows that were getting deeper and deeper, he sat down on the futon in front of him, raised his right leg high and bent, and put his right hand on his knee, not kneeling Sitting is not cross-legged, the posture is extremely lazy, but there is no tired look on the face, it seems natural, the rules and regulations made by mortals are so ridiculous to him, he is not a person who adapts to the rules, but a person who makes the rules.

This kind of attitude and senses sound abstruse, but in fact, the reason why Rixiang Rizu has this view lies in Shikamaru's current identity and deeds. If an ordinary ninja of the same age imitated him, Rixiang Rizu would have punched him indiscriminately play.

It’s just that Shikamaru, who became a Jonin at the age of 13, slaughtered many ninjas in a foreign country by himself, and retreated safely, killing Orochimaru, who is also known as the "Three Ninjas" with the Five Generations of Hokage, is full of enthusiasm. If he showed impatience and wanted to fight, and was punched out of the room, it was not certain who it was.

For Shikamaru, who can kill Orochimaru, Tsunade's deterrence is nothing more than that. Even with the home court advantage, it is still difficult to win him.

After all, he is a man known as "God's Hidden" at the age of 13, Ri Xiangri pursed his lips, and sighed in his heart, Shikamaru's series of deeds are enough to make people ignore his age, and even Ri Xiang's head can no longer be taken for granted call him a boy.

"What do you want to do?" Ri asked in a low voice to Ri's feet.

He never opened his eyes, and kept his vigilant eyes on Shikamaru, which seemed a little impolite, but Shikamaru didn't care, and took out a small glass bottle from the ninja bag, It was filled with an unknown liquid, and in the liquid, there was a white eyeball floating up and down, making people feel cold all over.

"Return to the original owner." Shikamaru shook his hand lightly, and threw the vial soaked in his white eyes to Ri Xiangri's feet. This is what he dug from the corpse of "Ao" of the Kirinin Jami during the Battle of the Land of Water. down.

"Thank you." Rixiang Rizu looked a little better, but he still didn't relax his vigilance. He didn't believe that Shikamaru returned to the village to pay back this eye, "What's your purpose in returning to Konoha Village?"

"I came here mainly to take away some people." Shikamaru didn't wait for Rixiang to continue asking questions, and then said the answer, "I want to take Rixiang Neji away from here."

"Impossible!" Rixiang rebuffed decisively, and after changing this sentence, he said in a slightly slower tone, "I am very grateful to you for returning this eye, but it is absolutely impossible for the blood of Rixiang's family to fall on outsiders hand!"

Shikamaru quietly listened to Ri Xiangri's feet, then smiled slightly, stood up from the futon, and said softly: "You misunderstood, this is not a transaction, nor a request, this is just a notice, I want to take Ri Xiangning Leaving for the first time, as an elder, I think I should tell you first."

"You're dreaming!" Shikamaru's understatement was almost like the most vicious sarcasm and contempt, and he couldn't hide his anger with his sloppy self-cultivation, and said sharply, "'Baiyan' will not fall into the hands of outsiders, you can never get your wish, All you get is a cold corpse!"

"He's going to die again anyway," Shikamaru shook his head, he didn't seem to care about the threat of arrogance at all, and his indifferent eyes fell on him, "Even if the 'white eyes' are gone, I will naturally die Find a replacement for him personally, after all, there are many ninjas in the Ri Xiangzong family."

"If you want 'White Eye' or the blood of the Ri Xiang family, as the head of the clan, wouldn't it be a better choice for you?" Dark red octopus tentacles slowly emerged from Shikamaru's waist, and in Ri Xiang Under the observation of Xiangrui's white eyes, he can even find the frighteningly huge chakra from the eight tails.

"Shikamaru!" A trembling and soft voice came from behind. Shikamaru seemed to have expected it, and slowly turned to look in the direction of the door. At some point, two girls in casual clothes, one tall and one short, had already entered the room. Among them, the voice was that of a girl who was about the same age as Shikamaru, with long hair and shoulders, pupils like autumn water, a small nose, full red lips, and a fair face that had gradually cultivated a girlish style.

"Hinata, Hanabi, you two go back!" Ri Xiangri saw the figures of the two girls, his heart tightened, and he quickly ordered in a low voice, "I want you to leave here immediately! "

Ri Xiang Hanabi swallowed his saliva when he heard the words, took a peek at Shikamaru, and wanted to pull the hesitant Ri Xiang Hinata away.

"No need to do that." Shikamaru retracted the octopus tentacles transformed by the power of the bull, and said to Ri Xiangri's feet, "I will take Ri Xiang Ningji away."

Rixiang Rizu heard the words, his face turned blue, and he looked at Shikamaru Jieyin with a cloudy expression, and disappeared from the spot, and there was no response for a long time.
