[The scene changes, and what appears on the sky is the caravan that has been attacked and has become fragmented. ]

[He Yan is grabbed by the collar by a female knight who has not appeared before and asked: "Where is the Grayer Stone!"]

[He Yan said with an uncomfortable look that he didn't know, but the female knight who grabbed him didn't believe it at all. But before she could take the next step, the female knight suddenly found that she couldn't move freely, and uncontrollably let go of the hand holding He Yan. ]

["What!" The female knight turned around with difficulty and looked at a figure in the sky. The long shadow extended from the opponent's feet and connected to her own shadow. ]

["The shadow imitation technique was successful." Shikamaru put down the hand that was making the seal and relaxed a little. Sakura hurried over to help He Yan leave. Shikamaru controlled the enemy while asking questions, but he didn't expect that before he could say a few words, the female knight in front of him suddenly turned into a werewolf. 】

【"What...what!" Shikamaru's face changed. The female knight who transformed not only broke free from his control, but also shattered the huge rock under his feet with the wolf howl from her mouth. Shikamaru, who was caught off guard, fell to the ground in a slightly embarrassed manner. Fortunately, the female werewolf knight did not pursue her and turned around and fled. 】

["Sure enough, they came to cause trouble for the caravan. Hyde obviously knows a lot of information."]

["This kind of thing is obvious. Hyde is just short of putting the label of villain on his face!"]

["In fact, from the fact that they appeared on the sky, we can already guess that they are inseparable from the whole incident. It's just that people involved need a series of clues to restore the original appearance of the matter. Don't think you are smarter than the people on the sky!"]

["Shikamaru has a good brain, but his hard power seems to be a little lacking. He was so easily defeated by the enemy. The person broke free from the restraints."]

["Huh? Some people actually think that the Nara family's restraint technique is simple?"]

["Think about what you can do when you can't move your whole body. What's more, the Nara family's shadow not only has the ability to restrain, but can also directly break the enemy's neck!"]

["The ninjas who can make a name for themselves in the ninja world can't be simple stuff. It's better to have some self-knowledge!"]

["What is that, a wolf!?" Sakura looked at the back of the female knight in doubt until He Yan's cough brought her back to her senses.]

[He Yan was helped by Sakura to sit on a stone. Shikamaru, who was not seriously injured, also rushed over. He first asked about Grayer, but seeing that He Yan looked alert and didn't seem to have anything to say, he asked Sakura to leave and find Naruto.]

["But..." Sakura looked at He Yan hesitantly, but still obeyed the order and followed Shikamaru's footsteps. 】

["From the attitude of this old man He Yan towards Shikamaru, he should know a lot of secrets. The identity of the caravan is just their disguise!"]

["That's not necessarily the case. Didn't we mention the destruction of the country before? The identity of the caravan is likely to be true, but their identities before the destruction of the country should not be simple."]

["Didn't they say that the snow ferret named Nilugu was raised in the palace before? It's not surprising that it has a relationship with their royal family and knows some secrets."]

["It seems that Shikamaru here hopes that He Yan won't say anything, so that he can pretend to know nothing and leave directly."]

["That's not the case. Although the people of the Nara family are afraid of trouble, they still have a sense of responsibility. Even if He Yan said nothing, he would continue to investigate after finding Naruto, but he might not go too deep. "]

["The essence of slacking off: If you are not in a hurry, just complete the task to the minimum, and no one can find fault with it."]

[He Yan was silent with a tangled face, and after thinking for a while, he asked: "Wait a minute, are you Naruto's companions?"]

["Grandpa, do you know Naruto?" Sakura and Shikamaru stopped, and after confirming their identities, He Yan no longer tried to hide it: "Please, please help us, if this goes on, something terrible will happen."]

["Terrible thing?" Sakura murmured, and Shikamaru showed a tired expression as if he was involved in trouble. 】

["Scary things? How scary? Can it compare to the destruction of the world by the monsters?"]

["Okay, let's stop here and whip the corpse monsters. Now the three kingdoms of wind, fire and earth are planning whether to directly unlock the seal and cooperate with the priestess to destroy the monsters!"]

["There is no way. The power of the priestess is too restrained by the monsters. After knowing how to deal with them in advance, even if the monsters have the ability to destroy the world, they will not feel scary anymore."]

["Then should Naruto go to the Land of Demons and rub it with Shion?One Rasengan can destroy the monsters!"]

["That's unnecessary. Just anyone can do it. There are other moves that are more powerful than the Rasengan."]

["No, no! I want to see if Naruto and Shion can create some sparks!"]

["Okay, okay, we've changed the subject."]

["To be honest, Shikamaru is bothered by trouble and curious about the truth, so isn't it all his own fault when he runs into trouble?"]

["There's nothing we can do about it! It's troublesome, but when such an unknown force appears in the territory, normal ninjas have the obligation to investigate the situation!"]

["Why did He Yan's attitude change when Naruto was mentioned? Didn't he just follow the caravan for a while?"]

["Maybe he thinks that if it's Naruto's companion, he should be as easy to fool as him!"]

["Couldn't he have been infected with Naruto's companion virus and unconsciously treated him as his own! ”]

Shikamaru exhaled deeply and looked at the sky with disgust: "If I can, I really want to pretend that I didn't see it!"

"What are you talking about, Shikamaru! Everyone is looking forward to your performance, cheer up!" Ino patted Shikamaru's back dissatisfiedly. Although she didn't see her own appearance, she would also be proud of her teammates' good performance.

"Which eye of yours saw that everyone expected me? What they want to see is Naruto, okay?" Shikamaru responded speechlessly, and by the way, he sent another barrage that belittled himself and praised Naruto.

Naruto was not uncomfortable with the expectations and praises of others, and said with full energy: "Oh! Everyone has good vision, wait and see, I will definitely beat Hyde and Timothy to a pulp!"

Holding her forehead helplessly, Ino really couldn't accept Naruto's character: "Such a fool actually became the representative of our Konoha."
