Shadow of the Wood

Chapter [-] Fukasaku <Yakura had already led Naruto Uzumaki into the tent, so he stopped talking and looked up at him.

"You're here, Naruto!" Shikamaru smiled and stood up, as soon as he finished speaking, a small figure suddenly jumped out from under the table and stood on Shikamaru's desk.

It was a small toad with a gray cloak covering its body tightly, only revealing a round head.

If a toad wearing a piece of clothing is already considered a surprise, then compared to the white eyebrows and hair on this toad's face, it is not worth mentioning at all.

Although this toad does not have the astonishing figure of Bunta and other toads, it is even more strange when it comes to appearance. Uzumaki Naruto and Chun Yeying who just walked into the tent couldn't help but take a second look. Although the former is strange , I haven't seen this toad before, but he has been in contact with the psychic toads in Miaomu Mountain after all, and he has already guessed the origin of the other party in his heart.

"Are you Uzumaki Naruto?" The petite toad uttered words, and his old-fashioned appearance made Uzumaki Naruto uncomfortable. After carefully looking at his appearance, he continued: "It's true that you and Xiao It’s exactly the same as I said.”

"Who are you?" Uzumaki Naruto asked with a frown when the other party mentioned Jiraiya, and his tone was not polite.

"He is Toad Immortal from Hatoad Village on Mt. Miaogi, and also the teacher who taught Jiraiya-senpai ninjutsu and senjutsu, Fukasaku-sama." Shikamaru pointed to Fukasaku, and introduced to Naruto: "He is also Bunta's father."

"Ah..., what!?" Uzumaki Naruto turned around in his mind after hearing Shikamaru's last words, and seemed to be able to react, looking at Fukasaku's figure in disbelief: "He is the father of Boss Toad! ?”

Is it your own?In the end, Naruto was quite sensible, and he didn't let the second half of the sentence blurt out. Even so, the confusion and strangeness on his face could not be eliminated in a short while.

"I'm here this time to take you to Mt. Miaogi." Fukasaku's temper was much better than his wife Shima's, and he didn't care much about Uzumaki Naruto's lack of respect, so he said, "This is the big toad sage." Hokage also agreed to this request."

Uzumaki Naruto looked at Shikamaru, and saw that the latter was slowly nodding his head in confirmation.

"But now Konoha Village is facing difficulties and lacks manpower. I don't think this is the time for a Konoha ninja to leave." Uzumaki Naruto frowned at this time and objected: "And who is the big toad fairy?"

"The Great Toad Immortal is the ancestor of the toad who once guided Jiraiya," Fukasaku said, "Even if you stay now, what you can do is limited, but after you have been trained in Mt. The height of Kojiraiya."

"But..." Uzumaki Naruto seemed a little hesitant. If there was hope to surpass Jiraiya, he certainly didn't want to miss it, but now that he left Muye Village, he felt a little ashamed and suspected of being a deserter.

"You have nothing to hesitate, Naruto." Shikamaru said: "If you want to avenge Jiraiya when the ninja of 'Akatsuki' finds you again, you must go to Mt. Contributing to Muye Village, you should also make yourself stronger as soon as possible."

"Don't you want to inherit Kojiraiya's mantle?" Fukasaku said with some dissatisfaction seeing that Naruto Uzumaki still didn't agree and seemed very hesitant.

"Of course." Uzumaki Naruto replied almost subconsciously at this time.

Xianshu and Mount Miaomu?Uzumaki Naruto hesitated before, in fact, because of the repeated blows that made his spirit gradually fade away. At this time, he heard Fukasaku mentioning Jiraiya repeatedly, and finally made up his mind, and said to Fukasaku, Shikamaru and others: "I will be with you now." Go to Mt. Miaomu!"

"This is the best way." Shikamaru, with his hands folded across his chest, smiled slightly and said to the others, "Then Fukasaku-sama and Naruto will go home and pack up. There are still many affairs to be dealt with in the village, so I won't leave." Pay more attention."

Fukasaku nodded, regardless of Uzumaki Naruto's wishes, he jumped onto the opponent's shoulder and said loudly, "In this case, let's leave as soon as possible!"

A toad suddenly jumped onto his shoulder and gave orders to himself. Naruto Uzumaki felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't want to get angry. Seeing Fukasaku's appearance, he was afraid that if he moved too much, he would be able to tear down the opponent.

After seeing Uzumaki Naruto and Fukasaku leave, Shikamaru withdrew his attention. < and Mitomon Yan also agreed with this move.

One of the most important things for Muye Village today is to keep Nine Tails. This is not only to prevent "Akatsuki" from plundering, but also to prevent the coveting of other Ninja Villages.

Because of the special geographical environment, Mount Miaomu is very secretive and safe, and Naruto Uzumaki can gradually strengthen his strength there.

Seeing that Sakura was still in the tent, Shikamaru told her: "Sakura, you go and inform Oya Yusuke of the corpse disposal team to have him cremate the corpses killed in this battle as soon as possible, and then inform Ri Xiang Rizu , Let him lead the tribe to speed up the search for missing persons."

Although there were not many casualties in Konoha Village this time, Shikamaru couldn't relax his vigilance. Even a ninja doesn't have a physique that is invulnerable to all poisons, because if he doesn't deal with it in time, it will cause plague and other diseases. It is purely because of his Hokage's ability. .

Especially now that there are still many collapsed buildings in Muye Village, many of the trapped people must be rescued in the shortest possible time, even if they are corpses, they must be dug out as soon as possible. <After Ye Ying nodded, she quickly walked out of the tent.

Shikamaru returned to his desk to process documents and reports, and after a while, people entered the tent one after another.

Wearing a pair of thick-rimmed glasses, Aoba Yamashiro, who was slightly thin, and Genma Shiranui, who was holding a thousand copies in his mouth, opened the cloth first and walked in. Behind the two of them, Ri Xiangning in a white kimono The second time, she also entered with the oily girl Shino who covered most of her face behind her collar.

"Hokage-sama!" After they came to the tent, they stood still with their hands down, waiting for Shikamaru to explain the reason for calling them here.

Seeing a few people standing still, Shikamaru took out a few letters from the drawer of the desk. The white envelope was painted with flame patterns, and the opening was sealed with wax.

"Mountain city Aoba goes to Shayin Village, I don't know Huoxuanjian to Yanyin Village, Rixiang Ningci goes to Yunyin Village, Younu Zhinai goes to Wuyin Village." Shikamaru called the names of several people, and at the same time sent four letters together One parted and pushed it to the table: "Notify the other Four Kages that I will hold a five-kage meeting in six days. As for the detailed information and reasons, they are all written in the letter, and you must personally hand over the letter to the head of the other party's ninja village." hands."

"understand!"
