Things are getting a little weird now.

The information sent back by Kosuke earlier mentioned that the country of waves was suspected to be controlled by the fog behind his back, and then he died on the edge of Konoha's barrier, and his body was also made into a deadly trap by someone who was proficient in sealing.

In the past two days, he was thinking about arranging someone to go to the country of waves to investigate, but he didn't expect that today, the gold exchange office suddenly sent the corpse of the 'green' of the fog hidden and the reward on the village's golden wanted notice, you must know that this person is the only existence of the fog that has blood and white eyes.

Although the exchange office is unable to tell the identity of the bounty ninja who killed Ao, the situation of Kosuke and Aoi is clearly very similar, and both of their brains have been destroyed, making it impossible for others to obtain any valuable information from the corpses.

The two incidents combined, and the three generations of Hokage immediately felt that someone was deliberately targeting Konoha.

"Has there been any information about the four generations of Mizukage from the fog hidden side?"

After a moment of contemplation, the three Hokage turned his gaze to a dark corner and asked.

"At present, the people we sent out before have not received relevant and reliable information, the only thing that is certain is that the four generations of Mizukage did die immediately after the tailed beast went berserk, and the recent information only said that the fog is electing a new Mizukage and that they sent people around the ninja world to find the whereabouts of the six-tailed human pillar force."

A shadowy figure wearing a tiger mask stepped out of the shadows without a sound.

"Hmm... What about the intelligence channels on the root side? ”

The faces of the three generations of Hokage were a little unsightly.

The dark part wearing the tiger mask replied solemnly: "There is no information from the root side, and they say that the root has no inner line in the fog. ”

The three generations of Hokage sank with a sneering expression: "I know, let Shikaku and Tenzo come to my office." ”

Ding Zero Zero –

After class, after the other students in the dojo left, the chubby Dingji squinted his eyes and walked up to Naruto and Hinata, and said abruptly, "It's finally only the last self-study class, Naruto, I'm going to buy snacks again, do you want to eat?" ”

Shikamaru immediately said in surprise: "Dingji, do you want to invite everyone to snacks?" I've known you for so long, and this is the first time! ”

Ding Ci scratched a little embarrassed: "No.. Actually... That I..."

"I don't need to."

Naruto chuckled, then pulled out a few tickets and handed them to Dingji, "You help Hinata bring a few more packs of chestnut balls of different flavors." ”

Hinata blushed, lowered her head and quietly pulled the corner of Naruto's clothes and whispered, "Naruto-kun~ Just two packs are fine..."

"Really?"

Naruto nodded and looked at Shikamaru, "Just tell Dingji what you want to eat." ”

"So that's what happened...."

Shikamaru watched Ding Ji take the money ticket, pouted and said, "Forget it, I don't have a hobby of snacking, I almost thought you would really treat you." ”

"You guys are waiting in the classroom, I'll be back soon!!"

After saying a word, Ding Ciren had already run to the door of the dojo.

Shikamaru shook his head, then frowned, "I said Naruto, is your monthly living expenses enough?" ”

"Of course it's enough."

Naruto looked directly at Shikamaru and smiled, "You should know that not everyone in the village is willing to take my money, so even if I don't have a lot of living expenses every month, I can still keep a lot." ”

Shikamaru's mood suddenly became a little complicated, he just asked casually out of concern between friends, but Naruto said it too bluntly.

The atmosphere became a little awkward at this moment, and after a while, Hinata took Naruto's hand with a nervous gaze and whispered, "Naruto-kun~ There are classmates from other classes who have entered the dojo." ”

"Well, let's go back to the classroom."

Naruto nodded, then looked at Shikamaru and said indifferently, "Your face is not very good, is it because you are not feeling well?" ”

Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "No, I just suddenly regretted giving up my share of the snack just now." ”

"Maybe Ding Ci will give you a little bit of it then."

"Don't dream, Naruto, you can go and inquire about when the Akido family will give up food to their mouths."

"Shikamaru-san, why don't I give you a pack of chestnut balls."

"No, that was bought for you by Naruto, and I really don't like snacks."

“......”

The three of them talked as they walked, and after a while they returned to the classroom, Ding Ji had already returned, and there were several bags of snacks on the table.

After seeing the three of Naruto, he immediately pulled out two bags from the pile of snacks on the table, and then quickly left his seat and stuffed the snacks into Naruto's hands.

The corners of Shikamaru's mouth twitched and he followed Ding Ji back to his place, and after Naruto handed the snack to Hinata, he also walked back to the corner of the last row by the window.

A moment later, the class bell rang, and he just turned his head out of the window, when Shikamaru, who was sitting in front of him, suddenly turned sideways and whispered, "Why don't you let Hinata sit with you?" ”

Naruto replied without turning his head, "With your wisdom, you shouldn't ask such a question." ”

Shikamaru raised his eyebrows, then crossed his hands against the window and said behind his head: "Okay, I'm actually a little bored, my dad has been a little strange lately, obviously he hasn't graduated yet, but he always lets me practice the tactics of joining forces with Ding Ji and Ino, and I haven't played shogi well for a long time." ”

"By the way, Naruto, do you know how to play chess? Anyway, there is no teacher in the self-study class, why don't we have a game? ”

Naruto still didn't look away, just said calmly, "I will, but I don't like the game of chess." ”

Shikamaru looked stunned: "Why?" ”

"You've got a bit of a lot of questions today."

After waiting outside the window for a broom-haired man to walk by, Naruto turned his gaze and continued, "The main reason why I don't like to play chess is because there are always two players at the beginning of a chessboard. ”

Shikamaru's eyes condensed slightly: "But to play chess, you must have an opponent." ”

Naruto smiled, "You chess players always like to think of the world as a game of chess, enjoying the thrill of being in control of the whole situation and defeating your opponent to win the final victory. ”

"Have you ever wondered what it's like to be a pawn?"

Shikamaru's expression was serious: "I've thought about it." ”

Naruto was a little surprised by Shikamaru's answer, and continued to ask with a calm gaze, "Then what do you think the chess pieces will think?" ”

Shikamaru closed his eyes and shook his head, "No one is willing to be a chess piece. ”

~~~~~~~~~~~

At the same time, the three generations of Hokage in the Hokage's office are discussing with Shikaku who to send to the country of waves to investigate.

"Hokage-sama, according to my analysis, the sacrifice of Kosuke's predecessors and the death of the Mist Hidden Ninja are absolutely inseparable from the country of waves."

Nara Shikaku said with a solemn expression as he stared at the two reports in his hand.

The third generation Hokage nodded: "Yes, Kosuke's last information is that there is a suspected existence of a fog shadow behind the country of related waves, but within a few days, someone took the body of the fog shadow ninja to receive the bounty, and there is absolutely no such coincidence." ”

"In this way, who do you think is appropriate to shoot to go to the country of waves?"

Nara Shikaku pondered for a moment and said, "I think..."

Sou!

"Hokage-sama!"

A dark part wearing a bear mask appeared on the balcony of the office window.

The three generations of Hokage stared, "Tenzo, why did you come back so soon, what is Kakashi doing now?" ”

Tenzo replied calmly, "Kakashi-senpai is still at the memorial monument. ”

The three generations of Hokage sighed in their hearts: "You let him come over." ”
