This is the calmest C-class mission Shikamaru has ever received.

Not to mention any accidents, not even the wicked who can't open their eyes.

The group arrived at the Iron Country safe and sound, and successfully completed the task.

Even the employer, who had written special requirements on the task list, didn't even say a word to Hinata along the way.

As for the expected plot such as flirting, there is no such thing.,This makes Shikamaru, who has prepared the ABCDEFG plan, feel like he has nowhere to go.。

So is it just fun to write that special request?

Or is this person a thief or not?

"Thank you very much to all of you in Konoha, I have some small gifts to give you before parting. ”

"Mr. Taiyi, you are polite. ”

We didn't make much effort along the way, so don't be so polite.

"It's just a little bit of a thought, and at the same time, I have a little thing to ask you for help with. ”

“……”

I said earlier, I'll just say why are you so polite.

Liu Li took out four boxes from his bag.

"This is for you. ”

"What is this?"

When they opened the box, the three of them saw a kunai.

The color, the cold light, is not an ordinary color at first glance.

Shikamaru took it out and waved it.

Well, it's very handy, and it feels good.

"Just a little careful, I want you to do me a favor. ”

"Please. ”

Seeing which box was left under Liu Li's subordinates, Shikamaru probably had some guesses.

"Help me bring this to your Konoha ......"

Sure enough, I want to send something, but why Konoha and why didn't I send it before?

"Naruto Uzumaki, who brought you Konoha to, I went to his house to see it before, but he wasn't at home. When Liu Li said this name, Shikamaru Hinata Shino was stunned for a moment.

"Naruto?"

Hinata was the first to react and asked.

"That's right, Naruto Uzumaki. Liu Li pretended not to know anything.

"I originally wanted to visit him when I came to Konoha this time, but I found the address he left for me, but I found that he was not at home, so I thought about it, so I should leave something to prove that I came. ”

"When did you meet Naruto?" Hinata was a little more concerned about Naruto-related matters.

"About half a year ago, when I was in the land of tea. Liu Li's face replied without changing his face.

"Half a year ago...... The Land of Tea...... I remembered. ”

Shikamaru remembered it after a little recollection.

After all, Naruto's guy can't hide things, and he will tell them about anything he encounters during his mission.

Mission ...... of the Tea Country It seems to end pretty well.

"There's another letter here, so please give it to him as well. ”

Along with the box, there is also a letter.

"Leave it to me, I'll definitely hand it over to Naruto. Hinata volunteered to take on the task.

"Then I'm sorry for you. ”

"You're welcome. ”

……

Lighting a cigarette, Liu Li's dashing back gradually disappeared from the sight of the three.

"Naruto, that guy still has friends coming to Konoha to look for him. Shikamaru muttered.

"But ......"

Turning the kunai in his hand lightly, Shikamaru stared, thinking a little, "This kunai should be quite expensive." ”

－－－－－－

Bang bang bang

"Enter. ”

The three of Shikamaru pushed the door and entered.

"Hokage-sama, we're here to hand in the mission. ”

In the Hokage's office, he was holding back Akamaru's teeth.

"Yo, Shikamaru you've also come back from your mission......"

"Woohoo!"

Akamaru, who was lying on his teeth, suddenly screamed excitedly.

And the teeth that heard Akamaru's scream suddenly tightened.

"Huh, what's wrong?"

It is impossible for a ninja dog to make a noise for no reason, something must have happened.

The discoloration of his teeth changed, and he said, "Akamaru said that he smelled the person from the last Xiao organization. ”

Boom!

Tsunade slapped the table and stood up.

"Where!"

Ya and Akamaru had met Liu Li twice, and it was impossible to go wrong with his sense of smell.

"It's ...... That!"

The tooth suddenly pointed at the three Shikamaru who had just come in.

"We?"

Shikamaru Hinata and Shino were also stunned.

What's going on?

……

Three minutes later, four boxes of letters were on Tsunade's desk.

Ya held up Akamaru and let him sniff it carefully.

Akamaru sniffed and snorted.

"That's it, it smells like that guy. Ya said affirmatively.

"Oh?"

Shikamaru quickly explained, "This is a small gift from our employer when we complete the mission. ”

"What about this letter?"

"The letter was he asked us to pass it on to Naruto. ”

Without saying a word, Tsunade opened the box.

The contents of all four boxes are the same.

"Refined kunai?"

After flipping through the pages and making sure it was just kunai and the ordinary box, Tsunade picked up the letter.

"I remember, that guy from Akatsuki was the closest to Naruto when he was in Konoha, right?"

"Yes, because he was channeled by Naruto. ”

"Hmmm......"

In that case, it seems reasonable to leave a letter for Naruto, but what would be written in the letter?

Snort

Tsunade tore open the envelope and poured it out.

Slipping out of the envelope was another letter!

Yes, still a letter.

The difference is that there is nothing written on the envelope on the outside, while there is something written on the smaller envelope on the inside.

"Non-Naruto Uzumaki, the barren offspring of the Demolitionist Male is full of children. ”

Tsunade's forehead erupted.

Although we haven't met, you can imagine what kind of person this is.

And there's a little more below.

"Women drink water and grow meat, and they gain ten pounds a month. ”

On the entire envelope, there is also a peculiar red and black pattern that makes people feel a little hairy at first glance, which looks like some kind of curse.

Boom!

A fist mark appeared directly on the desk.

"I'm not afraid of this curse!"

Tsunade said through gritted teeth.

Then he handed the envelope to the hand of Mute who was standing aside, "Mute, open this letter." ”

"Oh. ”

Although she didn't understand what was going on, Shizune put down the piggy in her arms, took the letter handed over by Tsunade, and then glanced at the ...... on the envelope

"Shikamaru, open this letter. ”

"Huh?"

Even if he is as wise as Shikamaru, he can't figure out what they're playing at the moment.

But when he took the envelope, he understood.

"What a vicious curse!"

Infertility, full of children and grandchildren?

That's a lot of information!

"Hinata, I think you and Naruto can be considered alone, so...... Come on. ”

"Huh?"

Hinata blinked cutely, not understanding what was going on at all.

But when she took the envelope......

"Shino, come on. ”

Hinata said weakly.

Shino: "......"

I don't know why you didn't open a letter for half a day, but there is something wrong with this thing at first glance, otherwise you wouldn't have pushed it around.

……

Tooth: "Huh, this curse is too vicious, I refuse!"

……

Then things come to an impasse.

"There it is!"

Shikamaru suddenly had an idea.

"Let Akamaru come, it's a dog, it's not afraid of this curse. ”

Then everyone's eyes lit up and they all looked at Akamaru.

"Wang!"

Akamaru heard someone shouting it and subconsciously responded.

But when it saw that everyone was looking at it unkindly, it suddenly had a bad premonition in its heart.

"Woo~"

You guys...... What do you want to do?

Just as the crowd was about to force a poor puppy to use its teeth and claws.

Bang bang bang

"Hokage-sama...... Uh, what are you doing?"

The door was not closed, and Mitarai Red Bean knocked on the door with a stack of materials, and was about to walk in when he found that everyone was surrounding a dog, cataloging the evil light.

I...... Am I on the wrong track?

How does it feel like you've arrived at a cult place?

And it is a heavyweight cult gathering place for dogs.

Red Bean was a little nervous.

……

After a while, Red Bean also figured out what was going on.

"Hokage-sama, you're afraid of this curse too. Red Bean was a little crying and laughing.

It's a shame that such a big room of people is helpless against a small envelope.

Tsunade and the others were reddened by the words of the red bean.

But that curse is really bad!

Infertility, full of children and grandchildren.

Drink water to grow meat, and gain ten pounds of weight per month...... It's not a human being who can come up with such a curse! It's a demon, a demon!

"I'll do it. ”

Hongdou took the envelope nonchalantly, "I didn't get fat after eating so many sweets, which proves that I don't have a fat physique, so I ......"

Snort

"This curse doesn't work for me. ”

The envelope, which had been feared by everyone for a long time, knelt in the hand of the red bean.

"It's just an ordinary letter, you're overreacting. ”

Red Bean said proudly.

Really, a big room of people would worry about a small curse.

It's just a curse, what's so terrible, if you have the ability, you will come at me!

……

"Woo~"

Akamaru was also relieved.

The eyes of those humans just now were so terrifying!

……

The letter was unfolded, and this time there was no curse at all, but

"What's up here?"

"I don't understand. ”

"It's ciphertext, but it's not universal, and you need to compare the text. ”

Three pages of stationery, two and a half pages are dots and bars, completely incomprehensible.

The last half of the page is in Japanese.

“…… The above is information about Xiao, please follow the standard method to find me to get the text decryption. Well, that's all. Also, Naruto, come and see me when you're free. ”

The signature is "Liu Li".

……

"Sure enough, it's that guy. ”

"He ended up asking Naruto to find him?

"I don't know, but according to Naruto's personality, if you read this letter......"

Shikamaru said with a headache, "I guess I will definitely go to Liu Li." ”

"Hmm. ”

Hinata nodded in agreement.

Because in the past, Naruto was also very guilty about Liu Li, if he really saw this letter, then he would definitely go to Liu Li.

"Then don't tell Naruto just yet. Tsunade made a decision.

And Naruto is no longer in the village for the time being.

"But what does the phrase 'follow the standard method to get me the decryption of the reference text' mean?

Shikamaru also thought about it.

"Could it be some kind of method that I agreed with Naruto? No, it shouldn't be, after all, he hasn't joined Akatsuki before the middle ninja exam, so let's guess?"

Shikamaru looked at the envelope on the table, picked it up, and carefully studied the curse pattern on it.

But after looking at it for a long time, I didn't find anything.

Then there is kunai, which is nothing unusual except that it is more well-made.

The box, Shikamaru even directly broke the wood piece by piece, and found nothing.

"Envelopes, boxes, kunai...... What else is there besides?"

Shikamaru began to reminisce.

The pseudonym Taiyi is undoubtedly Liu Li.

And he seems to have said that he and Naruto met when they met

"The Land of Tea!"
