Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 39 Penalties

(Book Friends Group: Taipu Temple, 235948015.)

Three generations of Hokage Sarutobi Hiruza, Konoha advisor Mitomonyan, Shimura Danzo, and Zhuanju Koharu can be said to be the most prominent old people in Konoha village. When the four of them gathered together, they discussed important matters.

Diplomacy is no small matter, the beheading sword is one of the symbols of the Kirigakure Ninja Seven, its importance to the Kirigakure Village and the Kirigakure Ninja is self-evident, and now it is obtained by Konoha, whether it is to form a good relationship, or Whether it is a blow to reputation, there is a lot to do, but the first thing that needs to be confirmed is that this knife must be agreed by the holder at this time before it can be kept by Konoha.

"During the mission in the country of Nami, the tenth team violated the discipline many times to assist the client. They should be punished as an example!" In the room, Danzo Shimura, who seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, spoke first, half-opened and half-closed. There seemed to be a flash of coldness in his eyes, and he said loudly at this time: "The mission entruster, Dazna, lied about the mission level and concealed the information that the hostiles include ninjas. He should also take a tough attitude to deal with it!"

"Although the Kingdom of Waves is a small country, its geographical location is very good. The chaos in the Kingdom of Water is gradually calming down. The current closed policy is only for recuperation, but it will soon start business exchanges with the outside world. By then, the Kingdom of Waves will be able to It will become the junction point for ocean trade between the country and the country of water." Zhuanshu Xiaochun shook his head and vetoed Danzo Shimura's proposal, and said slowly: "Now the country of Nami has also started business with our country, and the daimyo of his country also intends to transfer wave to the country. The land of waves is included in the protection covenant. Dazna, as the hero who helped the daimyo of the land of wave to escape from the control of Kado, has now received the attention of the daimyo of the land of wave and even his own country. Although he lied about the mission level earlier, it is not easy to treat him now. Let’s do it, Konoha has nothing to lose, and you can turn a blind eye.”

"As for the tenth class..." Mitomonyan said at this time: "Information says that Dazna has obtained the approval of the Namiya Daimyo, and officially named the bridge connecting Namokuni and his country. The 'Shikamaru Bridge' is here, the Daimyo of the country is very interested in this, and appreciates everything that the tenth squad has done in the country of Nami, so it is not easy to move lightly."

"Shikamaru Bridge!?" The third Hokage Hiruza Sarutobi, who had been smoking a pipe and puffing smoke, couldn't help but chuckled when he heard this. He always feels genuinely happy when the ninja world reveals its prowess: "Many people in the village have also heard about this incident, and now they are paying attention to our decision to see what kind of reward will be given to the tenth class."

"Reward!?" Shimura Danzo slammed his cane hard, slammed the ground hard, and questioned unceremoniously: "As a ninja, if you violate discipline during the mission, how can you convince the crowd if you don't punish it!?"

"Dazna is in another country, not from Konoha Village, so you can let it go for now." Shimura Danzo slowly glanced at everyone in the room, and said loudly: "Konoha Ninja Village is a semi-independent military organization. The daimyo only has the right to command, but not management! The four members of the tenth squad, especially Nara Shikamaru, as the ninjas of Konoha Ninja Village, their rewards and punishments must be handled according to the village system!" Summary of tasks handed over by Asma , and did not dare to conceal anything, even if the naming of the bridge was not considered, Konoha's senior management knew Shikamaru's role in this incident.

"What do you mean, Danzo?" Turning to bed Koharu looked at Shimura Danzo, frowning and asked.

"The beheading and broadsword will be accepted, Sarutobi Asma will be punished (Note 1) to be demoted, and the tenth class will be cancelled. Nara Shikamaru, Yamanaka Ino, and Akimichi Choji will return to the ninja school and re-enter the lower ninja to wait for a fixed period ( Note 2)." Shimura Danzo said coldly, and he couldn't help but think of Shikamaru's persistence and outspoken resistance consciousness when he summoned Shikamaru. If the independent ninja is sent back to the ninja school, it will inevitably become a stain for life. At this time, the halo of genius faintly spreading in the village will be broken. Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji, after all, are still children, and they will probably also Hate this, most importantly, do not abide by discipline and rules, thus harming the reputation of his companions, which is a fatal injury to a ninja with lofty aspirations.

"The beheading sword is Nara Shikamaru's personal trophy, and Konoha is not eligible to forcibly collect it," the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen directly rejected Shimura Danzo's first proposal, telling in a slow and undeniable tone, Although he is getting old, the momentum of a generation of ninja heroes has never retreated: "Sarutobi Asuma, as the guide of the ninja, failed to stop the violations of the subordinates in time, and was punished and obliged to entrust (Note 3) three times, and the jnin was deducted. Salary (Note 4) for one month."

"Nara Shikamaru, Yamanaka Ino, and Akimichi Choji, because it is the first violation of discipline, each of them will be punished once, and the salary of the ninja will be deducted for one month. If Nara Shikamaru agrees to donate the beheading knife to the village to atone for the crime, the penalty for the second one can be cancelled. Punishment for three ninjas from the tenth class. As the chunin exam is approaching, Sarutobi Asuma will not be withdrawn from the tenth class instructor jnin position." After the third Hokage finished speaking, he glanced at the other three, and looked at Shimura Danzo's face. After staying for a while, Wei Wei said slowly, "Just do it like this!"

Koharu and Mito Menyan nodded in agreement, while Danzo Shimura remained expressionless and did not express his opinion until Hiruzaru Sarutobi waited for the three to leave one by one, then he snorted coldly, got up and left his seat, walk out of the room.

…………

"Punishment!? How could this happen!?" Ino frowned angrily, and Bai Zhe's face was flushed red, and he blamed him dissatisfiedly.

The next day, Konoha's senior management informed Sarutobi Asma, who was the leader of the ninja, about the punishment of the tenth class. At this time, Asma was conveying the content of the punishment to Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji.

"After all, we made a mistake in the task, and the punishment is actually justified." Asma Sarutobi touched his nose in embarrassment. Perhaps Hiruzaru Sarutobi wants to show his selflessness, and his punishment can be said to be the heaviest. Even if Shikamaru handed in the beheading sword, it would not be offset, but he was not embarrassed by this at this time, but he and Shikamaru made a promise not long ago that he could exchange the beheading sword for Chakra metal, but in the end he made a mistake Now, as Shikamaru's teacher, I naturally feel a little embarrassed: "As for Shikamaru's beheading sword...."

"Hand it over to Konoha to make up for it." Shikamaru said, seemingly indifferent: "I didn't plan to keep it at first, since the high-level decided so, I will hand him over, it's a pity Teacher Asma’s punishment cannot be cancelled.”

The plan did not change quickly. If Shimura Danzo did not play a role in this punishment, Shikamaru would not believe anything. With the character of the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, he would not make such a decision. It was under the influence of others, and the only ones who could influence Hiruzaru Sarutobi in the village were the three elder advisors including Danzo Shimura.

"The main responsibility for this punishment is actually me. I'm sorry, everyone." Shikamaru sighed and sincerely apologized, especially to Asma, although there was a deviation, he did not get the chakra as planned Metal to create "Yingxiu", but the reason is not on Asma, the other party has tried his best to counsel and help him, but now he is punished, Shikamaru can't take it for granted.
