Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 280 IX Replacement

A small stream flows under the small bridge, and several carp are chasing each other in the water, looking carefree. Compared with them, the two standing on the bridge at this time seem a little worried.

"Scorpion and Didara also failed." Jue, whose body was wrapped by two green leaves, said, and a gap was exposed in the green leaves, so that Hei Jue's voice would not be too dull, "Jiaodu, Feiduan... I didn't expect In 'Xiao', so many people died at his hands..."

"What should we do next?" Bai Jue, who was a little out of character, lost his mind, and asked in a concentrated voice, "This time you want to take the soil, will you do it yourself?"

Standing not far behind Jue, Uchiha Obito wearing a wooden mask seemed a little silent when he heard the words, as if he was really thinking about something, and his eyes hidden under the mask seemed a little flickering.

"Nara Shikamaru's space ninjutsu may not be under the Fourth Hokage, and you once said that he has inherited the legacy of Orochimaru and has mastered the ability of Mudun, so I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with it." After Uchiha Obito thought for a while, He opened his mouth and said: "Itachi's body is about to fail. Kisame sent news that he has sought a life-and-death battle with Uchiha Sasuke. 'Akatsuki' now only has Payne and Konan left. I must stay. , monitor Payne, and if an accident occurs, make sure that the eye of reincarnation will not be lost."

"Do you think Payne will fail?" Heijue turned around, looked at Obito Uchiha, and asked back.

"Jiraiya and Tsunade have the title of 'Legendary Sannin' after all, it is not so easy to deal with, not to mention Konoha ninja, we have to be on the safe side." Uchiha Obito said slowly, " Without the eyes of reincarnation, there is no point in capturing Eight and Nine Tails."

"What about Eight Tails?" Hei Jue asked in a deep voice, but he understood as soon as he thought about it, and asked himself, "Do you want to capture that substitute from Yunyin Village!?"

"Compared to Nara Shikamaru who is proficient in space ninjutsu, it is obviously easier to catch a former Churiki." Uchiha Obito sneered.

…………

The zhong yang stronghold is located underground, with Orochimaru's strong personal style, dark, hidden, and lifeless. Shikamaru speculates that he may be guarding against the ability of "jue", and he has no great interest in starting a new one, and it has been used to this day. Never thought about rebuilding a base.

In a conference room in the stronghold, Shikamaru sat high on a hardwood chair at the top, and a group of assistants from Tanokouchi sat below. <No Sakura, Shigego Tenpyo, and even the well-behaved Yasuo Hirano sat on both sides of Shikamaru's striker.

The art of checks and balances sounds like a pretty good way to control subordinates, but in the early days of entrepreneurship, those in power want to do this wishfully, which is purely courting death. Disagreements and struggles will drag down any organization, especially internal strife. Naturally, Shikamaru doesn't want his assistants and subordinates to think about fighting for power and profit all day long, instead of doing serious work, so they can work together.

This is exactly what he tried, including asking Rixiang Ningji to assist Xianglin to participate in Yijia affairs, asking Tianping Shigego and Li Luoke and others to resist the ninjas and samurai hired by the Tanokuni Daimyo forces, and letting Hirano Yasuo and Yamanaka Ino Waiting for others to manage the base together.It's a pity that judging from the seating situation, the people in the room are still roughly divided into two factions. The ninjas from Konoha Village and Xianglin, Shigego and Yasuo Hirano still have a gap.

The estrangement is mainly due to the two people, Kaorin and Ino Yamanaka. Although both of them can maintain their rationality, they will not be so confused that they will drag Shikamaru's work.

Three wives and four concubines are not so easy, not to mention that Xianglin and Ino are female ninjas. It is precisely because they both love Shikamaru from the bottom of their hearts, and feel that they have given their affection wholeheartedly, but have not received corresponding returns. There will be resentment. Of course, Shikamaru's character and strength determine that neither of them has a chance, and they dare not attack him. Naturally, the confrontation between the two competitors has become more and more serious. <Yakura and Konoha Xiaoqiang naturally stood on the side of Yamanaka Ino and hugged together, while Tianping Shigego and Ping Ye Yasuo were somewhat excluded, and at the same time subconsciously gathered together with Xianglin, but Tianzang was mature and rational Many, not interested in getting involved.

Shikamaru may be indifferent in his bones, this kind of thing cannot be reconciled, and the emotional contribution is a problem for both parties. Since it cannot be compensated emotionally, Shikamaru can only give materially. It sounds vulgar, but the truth is That's it, if you want to hug left and right, Shikamaru don't think about talking about "true love" to deceive yourself.

He needs the Xianglin organization to be easy to teach, and he doesn't want to neglect Ino and cause the little powerhouses in Muye Village to be alienated, so he can only try to separate the two at work. They are all smart people and will not do stupid things. Shikamaru's power is also enough to deter them from having unwanted thoughts.

"I may return to Konoha in the near future." Shikamaru saw that everyone was here, and focused on himself, so he spoke first, and threw out this information, without waiting for everyone to ask questions, and continued, "Yesterday Two rebels sneaked into Tian Zhiguo and were killed by me. Their attire and power reminded me of an organization that I had joined in the information left by Orochimaru.”

The legacy left by Orochimaru, which is memorized by Bowen, is really a good excuse for Shikamaru to lie. Many of his "unpredictable prophets" come from intelligence and information from previous lives. Maru, but will not be suspected.

"Choji, you may still remember the Uchiha Itachi and Kisame Kisame we met when we were looking for Tsunade." Shikamaru looked at Akimichi Choji and said.

The faint light from the candles in the room shone on Akimichi Choji's face, making his complexion look a little cloudy, and after hearing Shikamaru's words, he nodded silently.

"The name of that organization is 'Akatsuki'." Seeing this, Shikamaru continued, "Their only purpose is to capture Jinchuriki and Tailed Beast, and use it to achieve their ulterior motives. Now it seems that they Actions have already begun.”

Seeing that some people didn't know much about Tailed Beast and Jinchuriki, Shikamaru explained briefly. <Ye Sakura's ears changed her color suddenly, "They may attack Muye Village at any time."

Konoha was one of the first forces to understand the purpose of the organization, and compared to the other ninja villages, it was also the one that did the best job of protecting Jinchuriki—at least Jiraiya and they knew how to hide Naruto. Get up, and at the moment when the other tailed beasts are being captured, no matter how slow Muye Village is, it is impossible for Uzumaki Naruto to walk away alone.

Breaking into Konoha alone is almost an inevitable situation, the difference is only who will break into it. Itachi and Akatsuki have an agreement that they cannot attack Konoha Village. Ganshi Kisame, Konan and Zetsu are extraordinary in strength, but if you want to talk about breaking into the wood Ye Ye was just looking for death. In Akatsuki's organization, only Uchiha Obito and Payne had the power to break through. No matter who these two people were, unless they had enough information from the beginning, they would not be able to fight even if they came here. Tsunade united, facing them may not be able to gain the upper hand.

Uchiha Obito aside, his Sharingan can be called a cheating tool.Payne has already grasped the mystery of the eyes of reincarnation. In the original book, Naruto Uzumaki returned from studying at Mt. Myogi, and there is also the information left by Jiraiya. If he hadn’t miraculously persuaded him with words at the last moment, the outcome is not yet over. It can be seen.

Although the few Konoha ninjas here do not know the strength of Uchiha Obito and Payne, their faces have become ugly. After all, they still cannot completely cut off contact with Konoha, and care about the people living in Konoha. Family members and friends, even Orochimaru and Uchiha Itachi, super S-class rebels in Konoha Village, are members of "Akatsuki". The energy of this organization can be imagined. If such enemies attack Konoha, Its threat is no less than the aggression caused by Orochimaru during the Chunin exam a few years ago.

Shikamaru concealed some things to avoid too many explanations, such as the current number of people in "Akatsuki" and so on.

No matter what, he had to return to Konoha, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered to do that deed in the country of water before leaving Konoha, and it would be much easier to leave neatly.

Kirabi is still alive, back then Shikamaru didn't use the ghoul to absorb all the Chakra of Eight Tails, and keeping him alive was to leave a choice for "Akatsuki" and also left a way for Shikamaru himself to return to the wood Ye Village's back road - he left Konoha for development, and now he has got what he wants, and he doesn't mind returning to Konoha.

"The aristocratic forces have been suppressed and the war will end soon. We have been preparing for this land for a long time, and it will soon come to an end. If we can really flex our muscles, I don't think everyone wants their own Efforts are in vain." Shikamaru waved his hand to temporarily suppress the moaning of Konoha, looked around at the people in the room, and said, "Tenzo, Neji and Sakura will come back to Konoha with me this time, and the others will stay in Tianzhi. country work—do you have any objection to that?"

The chairs in the room still followed Orochimaru's design, and Shikamaru's main seat was slightly higher than the others. In addition, his momentum has grown in recent days. Although his tone is calm, it still makes the few people in the room feel a certain amount of pressure. After thinking for a while, no one raised any objections.

"After the war ended, Uesugi Seiji was forced to pass on the throne to Uesugi Tatsuya. And we will continue to focus on missionary work. Naturally, I will deal with it diplomatically. The country can concentrate on developing people's livelihood." Shikamaru saw this, and then He continued to order, "Use Tatsuya Uesugi to establish and publish the bulletin and the public newspaper as soon as possible. Now there is nothing to do, since there is no need to write beautiful articles, it will be easier to find a lot of people. The specific regulations are made by him. You guys Don't interfere too much, but there are a few points he must observe."

"I don't need reporters to be able to write brilliantly, as long as they can walk around the streets, investigate the situation painstakingly, and then explain the objective facts, instead of changing the news out of context with personal imagination and emotions, and bewitching others. When this happens, this person They should be severely punished to serve as an example to others, but the punishment of journalists needs to be heard by the church." Shikamaru thought for a while and said that he hated unprofessional journalists the most in his previous life. "In addition, we must ensure that journalists fully investigate power and selection mechanism.”

The media is the eyes and ears of ordinary people in contact with current affairs, and they must be given sufficient rights, otherwise ordinary people will become blind and deaf. To attract attention, even media organizations with high credibility, in order to attract attention, will report some "facts" in vague voices to mislead ordinary people.

It's a pity that capital is profit-seeking. If you want to make money, this trend will inevitably happen, unless you rely on monopoly, but without competition, media organizations will also lose their vitality. Shikamaru only hopes that the newspapers in Tianzhi will rely on hard investigations in the future The objective information to attract readers, rather than a false breaking news.
