Chapter 19: Raider of the Treasure: Shikamaru's Wisdom

"Huh!" Hit! The last sweet potato was thrown into the car by me. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Watching Tsunade add another stroke to my roster, I sighed helplessly.

It's really hard to endure the day!

"Why are you so downcast?" Tsunade asked amusedly.

Although I'm an adult, I still feel the same as a child as a shinobi!

"That...... Tsunade-sama, you know......"

Of course you do, Hehe!

"So, let's give you a more difficult task!"

"Huh? What is it? ā€

Knock knock! Tsunade knocked on the table, and several people came in one after another.

Hinata, Shino, and Ya, isn't this the red of their class?

And then it was - Shikamaru?

"Now, release the B-class mission!"

"The heirloom of the Daimyo of the Land of Thunder has been stolen, and we are specifically asked to take it back. This is a sketch of the Land of Thunder, with a possible escape route for treasure thieves, and a pattern of the national treasure. ā€

"Considering that the members of the eighth class are all experts in tracking, that's why I called you here."

"Where's Mr. Hong? Why didn't she arrive? Are we going to ...... that guy Shikamaru?" asked Tooth.

"Yikes! ~Red is busy, I'm giving her a week's vacation! Although it is a B-level mission, the client only said that he wanted to take the national treasure, and did not propose that the treasure thief must be disposed of, so you can do it. However, call the more experienced Shikamaru to be your captain. Comments? ā€

"Even so, it's still a bit unsettling, so let Yoyo-sensei be a backup, after all, she's an excellent medical ninja!" Tsunade squeezed his eyes at me.

"Oh? Is Yoyo-sensei here too? ā€

"What about the group of five......

"Alright, if you accept the mission, let's go down and prepare! Time waits for no one! ā€

"Yes!"

Everyone quickly gathered and set off, speeding towards the border of the Land of Thunder while holding a mission seminar.

"I know the strengths of several people in Hinata very well, so please introduce what you're good at, Mr. Yoyo."

"Oh. Are there any skills that will help with this task...... Eagle Eye can see up to 50,000 yards away, Trap and Freeze can limit enemy movement, and the most useful is Steal! ā€

"50,000 yards!" Everyone was taken aback, and Hinata knew better what that meant.

"Don't be so surprised. There are significant limitations to this procedure. First of all, there must not be any barriers between me and the goal, and secondly, it can only be used outdoors. ā€

"Oh~~~"

In fact, the so-called eagle eye technique was originally named after the eagle, and only the goshawk can look down from the sky without any obstacles!

"Well, please explain the theft."

"Hehe, let's stop for a moment." I stopped first.

Several people stopped in confusion.

I disappeared in front of everyone, and then reappeared in the same place.

"Touch yourself!"

"Huh? Oh! ā€

I gave them back the stolen things one by one.

"That's amazing! This is a technique that can get something from the enemy without even realizing it! ā€

"Hmm. And the point is, as long as the technique is successfully launched, even if the enemy finds out and misses, I can clearly know what is on him. ā€

"That means you can choose the right choice of whether to fight or flee!"

"Yes, but be warned, stealing a moving target increases the chance of failure."

"If you have Shikamaru here, you don't have to worry about this!" Tooth said happily.

Finally, it's still the first task! I don't care about the problem of Shikamaru's leadership team, which is also a middle ninja.

I smiled with relief. Speaking of which, the strength of the squad with three middle ninjas is really strong! Tsunade was afraid that I would be too depressed to let me be a backup.

Oh, yes. I took a look at the team board, moved Kakashi to the second team, and added a couple of shinobi to it.

Feeling the light of the aura of piety, everyone was excited and asked me what kind of ninjutsu it was.

"Oh, it's a technique that can increase defense, but if you leave my 30-yard range, it won't work, so don't rely on this in battle, and you'll suffer if you don't do it!"

Hey! Do the imps trust me? It's all added, so don't let down their trust! I said to myself.

The daimyo of the Land of Thunder thought that this treasure theft incident had something to do with the people of the Land of Earth, so the route he designed was also to move towards the Land of the Earth, which happened to be closer to Konoha, so it didn't take long for us to enter the predetermined range of the Land of Light.

After observing it with white eyes, he soon spotted three figures walking rapidly.

"Hey, hey! Hold it! ā€

The fork of the tooth stopped in front of the three of them with a grinning hand.

"Huh?" The three of them were shocked, but when they saw that it was just a child, they couldn't help laughing. Picking up his weapon, he threatened:

"Just you? Kid, no kidding! As he spoke, he stepped forward.

"What!" But I found that I couldn't move anymore!

It turned out that while their attention was attracted by the teeth, Shikamaru had already restrained them with shadow mimicry.

Golden opportunity! I had been waiting incognito, and I sneaked up and searched the three of them.

Succeed! Easy as pie!

Quietly walked away, set up a frost trap, and returned to the enemy, nodding to Shikamaru.

"Come back!" Shikamaru straightened up and shouted to his teeth.

Seeing that everyone was standing on the retreat route, the moment Shikamaru lifted the shadow restraints, I quickly activated the Frost Nova and followed in the direction of the Fire Country. This spell lasts up to 8 seconds, and the Frost Trap can delay them for about 8 seconds, enough to keep us safe.

"How?" Hinata and Shino, who were hiding on the side, caught up and asked.

"Smooth success!" I said happily.

"But? I always feel like it's going a little too well......" Shikamaru said with a frown.

"Really?" I opened my inventory and took a closer look. No matter how you look at it, it's the same as on the drawings.

Hand the national treasure to Shikamaru, "Look at it." ā€

It's exactly the same, but ......

"Oops!"

"How?"

"You pay attention, the national treasure on this pattern is cylindrical, right?"

Nod.

"A cylindrical object is a circle when viewed from above, and a rectangle when viewed from the front. In order to reflect that it is a cylinder, the angle of the drawing is carried out diagonally upward. ā€

Nod.

"This creates a visual difference, and the height of the cylinder is shorter because of it!"

And so it was! No wonder I always feel that the real thing is a little different from the drawings, but I can't find the reason, it turns out that it is because of the perspective!

"In other words, what we got is only a part of the national treasure, a part of this cylinder!"

"Ah, where did the rest go?"

Hinata searched nervously, but no one else appeared except for the figure chasing after her.

"The person just now is indeed Iwakure's true, so ......" Shikamaru fell into nervous thinking.

"A Treasure of the Country...... Land of Thunder...... Land of the Earth......"

"Got it!"

"Although the Land of Thunder and the Land of Earth do not have close contacts, it is impossible to take the initiative to compete for each other's national treasures! Therefore, the participation of Iwakuin Village must have been tacitly approved by the Daimyo of the Land Country, and it involved the interests of the country; In addition, the daimyo of Thunder no Kuni, who is the client, does not tell us that the national treasure may be divided into two parts and taken away, which indicates that the separable nature of the national treasure is a secret in the land of thunder, and he believes that the treasure thief could not know about this and does not warn Tsunade-sama; Third, since it is a national heirloom, it must be able to represent the identity and status of the daimyo, so as to ...... Then it's clear! ā€

"An event related to the interests of the two countries, a person who can understand the secrets of the national weapon, and a treasure involving the identity and status of the daimyo!"

"That is, in the Land of Thunder, someone has united with the Daimyo of the Land Country to usurp the throne!"

It's a deer pill with an IQ of 200!

Everyone was shocked.

"That's a big deal!"

"What to do!"

"It's not just us, I'm afraid that the Land of Thunder itself has sent people to hunt down a few of them! It's just that we arrived first because we were intercepting head-on. In this way, the internal defenses of the Land of Thunder should be lowered, it is a good time to usurp the throne with an armed force, and besides, the forces loyal to the daimyo should have been sent...... The daimyo is in danger! ā€

"Not only do you want to send the treasure back to Japan, but you also have to stop the pursuit team of the Land of Thunder and help them return to the Land of Thunder to protect the Daimyo!"

Shikamaru said firmly.

"However, this is beyond the scope of the mission." Hinata said worriedly.

Yes, it was originally a B-rank mission to recover the treasure, but in this way, it became an A-rank mission to protect the Daimyo.

"Treasure, only half of it was taken back, didn't it?! It's about, Konoha's reputation! ā€

The cold eyes really have a little bit of forbearance. I don't seem to be as afraid of trouble as I used to be!

"Since that's the case, these three people can't be let go easily! Important information can be obtained from their mouths, and this is evidence of the usurper's rebellion! ā€

"Then, assign the task, Hinata, Yuyo-sensei, move in the direction of the Land of Thunder, and Ya, Shino, and I stay."

"What's the matter, let's go with Shikamaru! Shino and I are just two people. Tooth said impulsively.

"Alright, don't fight. I'm sorry, Shikamaru, I didn't introduce myself completely. I also have a mind control technique similar to Yamanaka's 'Heart-to-Heart Technique'! Leave me alone and the fight should be resolved soon! ā€

"In that case, Hinata and Tooth move towards the Land of Thunder, Shino and we stay, act!"

The three of Iwakure's three learned to be smart this time, and a large distance was opened between the three of them, just to avoid being caught by Shikamaru all at once. However, we will not let them succeed!

"Buzzing ......" a large area of flying insects pounced on the three rock hides, and gradually stabilized to form an insect clone.

Shikamaru stood behind, and the shadow cast on the first worm clone, and the shadow of the first worm clone cast on the second ...... One by one, the shadows quickly caught the first Iwakure, and the second ...... The third.

I walked out and mentally controlled a Iwakure.

This is the first time I've used this technique since I came here, and the feeling of occupying other people's bodies is weird, and then look at myself, standing there and not moving, hehe.

"Alright, Shino, come and tie me up!" Iwakure, who was controlled by me, shouted.

Shino had never been in a group with Ino, so he was also curious about this technique, so he came over to take a look at it and tied it up hard.

"Shino! Be careful! Control spells will hurt the main body if they don't do it well! Shikamaru shouted from the side.

Well, it's true, it's so tightly tied, and the feeling of suffocation is so real, but whether it will cause damage to the body still needs to be tested.

Well, next. Controlled Iwakuin and walked towards him.

Grab your hand and take out the kunai.

"What are you going to do?" Shikamaru was startled, and immediately separated a shadow and pointed it directly.

"Don't be nervous, do an experiment." As he spoke, he cut through Iwakure's fingers.

"Hiss~~" It hurts, but it doesn't seem to bleed on my hands!

"Alright, tie it up! Don't worry, I'm just sharing the feeling of the target, but it won't really hurt! ā€

Concocted the last rock in the same way.

After a rough interrogation, nothing came out. This is also to be expected.

Take the guy who looks like the captain and chase them down, and the remaining two will be left to fend for themselves. We don't want to spoil our relationship with Iwakuin, so we want to leave room for manoeuvre.

However, the three of them belong to the type of poor physical strength, and it takes a lot of time to carry an oil bottle. Fortunately, it didn't take long for him to meet the subordinates of the Daimyo of Thunder Country who came to pick him up. It turned out that the tooth specially told them to stay, what a thick and fine guy! No wonder it is not unreasonable to be able to be upgraded to a middle ninja!

The little ninjas have all grown up!
