Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 280 Five Earth Shadow

Onogi put down the report in his hand and felt a little headache, as if his fragile cervical spine could no longer support his head. He subconsciously raised his hand to stand on the table and propped his head up. However, this movement was too fast and almost stretched himself. old waist.

As one of the Five Kages, even among the ninjas that ordinary people are in awe of, Ohnoki is definitely a member standing at the top of the pyramid, but this still cannot make him resist the erosion of the years, whether it is physical strength or mental strength, he Recently, there has been a sense of poverty.

Even so, he couldn't let go of Tsuchikage's burden. Several young people with potential have not yet grown up. It is not a good thing to be the head of a village prematurely, just like the Fourth Hokage of Konoha Village. After being elected as a leader by the villagers who are full of expectations, they naturally shoulder a heavy mission. However, when faced with danger, as a leader, he must face up to difficulties without flinching, otherwise it may cause criticism, and even His reputation was ruined, and his fame for the rest of his life was in vain.

If possible, Ohnoki still hopes that he can shelter the young people in the village for a while in his lifetime. It is better to die in office than to be sick.

Of course, his insistence on not resigning may not be due to other factors. Ohnoki sometimes thinks that if Shikamaru hadn't turned out, he would have given up his position to his juniors long ago.

Although Shikamaru announced that he would forbid ninjas from stepping into the territory of Tanokuni, it does not mean that he can block the news of the entire country. Although the surrounding Jinin Village is unwilling to easily provoke Shikamaru, who has become famous in the ninja world, it is conceivable that There are many ways to gather information.

The report that Ohnoki just finished reading is the news from Tian Zhiguo that the "Tian Zhi Yu Zhong Zhu Zun" was preaching in Tateyama Castle, and the momentum of Yijiao, who had been keeping a low profile, rose sharply. Zhi unexpectedly launched an army to conspire against him, attacking cities and looting villages on the pretext of relieving the people from their upside down, sweeping many surrounding cities, and there is also the shadow of Yijiao behind this.

Shikamaru can't hide this kind of thing at all. The surrounding countries, including the Land of Earth, know about it. When the swords and soldiers were troubled, but Uesugi Seiji's actions gave them a hint of danger, and the earth country daimyo ordered Yanyin Village to pay attention to this matter.

The face of Li Neiren, the great name of the Kingdom of Middle Earth, almost appeared on the paper. Onoki felt contemptuous in his heart, but he didn't like to ignore it, which instead put him in a dilemma.

boom!

The door of the office was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Ohnoki knew who was coming without looking up—his granddaughter Heitu was the only one in Yanyin Village who had the guts to break into his office without knocking on the door.

Heitu with short black hair pushed open the door and barged in. He didn't even say a word, and sat down on a chair in front of Onoki's desk, leaning on the chair as if he had no bones. On the back of the chair, there was an exaggerated sigh, her expression was sluggish, as if she had suffered some serious crime just now, she pursed her mouth when she saw Onoki without even looking at her, and leaned forward with a cute face, muttering and asking: "What are you looking at?"

"Get out of the way!" Onoki looked impatient, raised his hand and waved away the black soil: "This is a very important announcement!"

Seeing Onoki's look about to get angry, Kuroto couldn't help curling his lips, glanced at the unclosed notice, sat back on the chair, and asked lazily: "Nara Shikamaru? What did he do again?"

Ohnoki glared at Heitu dissatisfiedly, and said in a deep voice, "Something happened to Tian Zhiguo, and the daimyo of his country are a little worried."

"What's the matter?" Black Soil continued to ask.

"You shouldn't ask, don't ask nonsense, you are a ninja!" Onoki reprimanded sharply, but only got Heitu's eyes.

Some things will never be learned without going through a war. Ohnoki couldn't help sighing when he saw the black soil gangster's indifferent appearance. Peace means that there are fewer opportunities to "communicate" with other ninjas in the ninja village. Most of the younger generation who communicated with the ninjas in other villages, especially the Dainin Village, grew up in the small circle of the ninja village where they lived. Some young ninjas who think they are talented and capable are inevitably suspected of being arrogant.

Chojuro of Kirigakure Village probably wouldn't even have imagined that he would be killed by Nara Shikamaru together with a few outstanding ninjas from Yunyin Village.Darui would never have imagined that he would end up fighting with Konoha Village as the strongest of the younger generation, and the ending might be so miserable.

Ohnoki has seen many outstanding young ninjas come to the fore during the war. They all earned their reputation by stepping on the corpses of the older generation of ninjas—he was one of them himself, so he never underestimated any opponent. The point is the biggest difference between him and Heitu and others.

He may rely on the old to sell the old because of his face, but in the face of a strong enemy, he is always clear in his heart, telling himself that the opponent is strong—how strong?As long as you treat it as an enemy you have never seen in your life, it will be fine.

That's why he hesitated to provoke Shikamaru. Onogi knows very well how difficult it is to stand out from Konoha Village, which has many famous families such as Uchiha and Rixiang, and there are people who can do this How strong it will be-Sarutobi Rizai, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Namikaze Minato are all the same. Onoki is not afraid to fight Shikamaru, or even die together, but he is not sure of killing with one blow. Don't dare to make a move easily.

Shikamaru is only 15 years old this year, and will be only 16 years old in a few months, but he has already killed Orochimaru, and the surrounding countries dare not act rashly. Except for Onogi, in Yanyin Village, even Onogi's son Huangtu, I am afraid Not Shikamaru's opponent, if Onoki loses the battle with Shikamaru, the ninjas such as Yanyincun and Huangtu Heitou will face a terrifying enemy with infinite potential.

"Forget it, just get some news to deal with the daimyo." Ohnoki seemed to have figured it out. Compared with his own daimyo, he was still more willing to think about Yanyin Village and his descendants. Now that Shikamaru is in full swing, he also Unwilling to take advantage of it.

There is information that Shikamaru once had a big fuss in Yunyin Village. Considering the matter of the country of water, the grievances between the two are not small, and coupled with the anger of Wuyin Village, Shikamaru does not lack enemies, which is somewhat disappointing. Onoki breathed a sigh of relief.

Shikamaru defeated Gaara, the strongest ninja in Hidden Sand Village in the Zhongnin Exam, and almost wiped out a group of young people with the most potential in Hidden Cloud and Hidden Kirigashi in the Land of Water. Now many people in the ninja world understand that, When the older generation of ninjas die or grow old, and the new generation of ninjas begin to take up the banner, the title of No. 1 in the ninja world is likely to fall on Shikamaru. Just like Ohnoki, Shikamaru is regarded as a thorn in the side of the number of ninjas. Quite a few, none of them want to sit back and watch this happen.

…………

Ohnoki thought well, even Sand Hidden Village, which seems to have little grievances with Shikamaru, still maintains a hostile attitude towards Shikamaru. Now Shikamaru’s head is worth 3000 million taels on the black market, and Sand Hidden Village secretly "contributes" As much as 300 million taels.

It's a pity that compared to Shikamaru who is far away, all the energy of Sand Hidden Village has been devoted to the threat that is close at hand.
