In the early morning, it was already dawn, and the lights of Nara's Kakuku family had not been turned off for a night.

A huge map that takes up half a room, littered with refreshing drinks.

Shikamaru rubbed his eyes, his dark circles were very heavy, frowning, Shikamaru kept pulling his hair with his hands, and on the chessboard, there were not many chess pieces left in his control, surrounded by dense gray chess pieces.

"Lost again." Shikamaru dropped the dice in his hand and reached behind him to touch it, and he touched it empty, and the drink had already been drunk.

"Let's stop." Nara Shikaku's dark circles were not much lighter than Shikamaru's, and he stretched out tiredly, and Shikaku found that it was already dawn.

It all started two days ago, and the gift Shikamaru received was a box of chess pieces, which belonged to the kind of war chess with very complex rules and tactical deduction.

On the back of the sand table diagram of the war chess, there is only a short sentence - suppose that all the dead ninjas and 100,000 tireless helpers and the world in history have become enemies, and what are the chances of winning the battle between the living and the dead.

These are the inexplicable words left by the four generations of Tsuchikage, and Shikamaru vaguely feels that the powerful Tsuchikage's move must have hidden a deep meaning.

The war chess map is very ordinary, but it is an enlarged map of the ninja world, but it is marked in great detail.

However, the red and blue sides of the confrontational wargame only have the "Legion of the Dead" in the mouth of the Tsuchikage, the number of deceased ninjas who are immune to all ninjutsu except sealing, the number is unknown; Plus 100,000 people who are tireless, and have powerful concealment abilities and camouflage abilities that can't be seen through by white eyes.

And the chess pieces of the Legion of the Living are empty, which needs to be made by Shikamaru himself.

In the first simulated battle, Shikamaru participated in the battle head-on with more than 10,000 people from the Konoha headquarters, and the team was wiped out.

In the second game, Shikamaru combined terrain and complex tactics to deal with it, and the result was even more miserable. Because the person who controls the chess pieces on the opposite side is Shikamaru's father, Shikaku's advantage is much greater than Shikamaru's, and he is more experienced. The more you operate, the easier it is to get caught.

At the end of the second game, the father and son Shikamaru and Shikaku fell silent.

"Shikamaru, if you really have to face such an enemy, it's a disaster."

"Father, how much do you know about the four generations of Tsuchikage?"

"Eh" Lu Jiu was stunned.

“…… Not too much. ”

Shikamaru played with one piece after another, not much bigger than a bean, and each of these small pieces represented more than a plural number of ninjas.

"The four generations of Tsuchikage, the legendary miracle ninja, have turned the tide of the war countless times with absolute disadvantage, and the incredible ninja village alliance of the Ninja Alliance has also been established under his leadership."

"So, Dad," Shikamaru tossed the pieces back into the sandbox, "don't underestimate that Tsuchikage, he won't be so bored that he just gives me a wargame for the game." ”

Shikaku's thoughts are similar to Shikamaru's, and Tsuchikage-sama must be passing on some secret but important message.

But there are many doubts, why did you choose Konoha, there are so many Konoha ninjas, why did you choose Shikamaru?

Thinking about it, Lu Jiu smiled, and he remembered his identity. During the three ninja wars, as Konoha's top think tank, Shikaku formulated most of the combat plans.

The Battle of Kannakun Bridge, which caused Iwa Shinobi to suffer heavy losses, came from the hands of Shikaku.

Lu Jiu is fully qualified to say, "I am present in the three ninja battles, and I am in command of the god no Kunqiao".

As one of the best strategists in the ninja world, Shikaku feels that he truly deserves to be entrusted with secrets.

Moreover, the Nara clan has many high-IQ geniuses, which are indeed very suitable for playing brain-burning war chess deduction games.

"There's a strange place," Shikamaru said, pointing to a small pile of chess pieces, "Ninjas who have come back from the dead, the figure given by Tsuchikage is about five thousand. ”

"But Dad, from the beginning of the birth of each ninja village to the present, there have been several wars, and there are definitely more than 5,000 ninjas who have died."

"How many ninjas have there been since the first generation of Konoha?" Shikamaru frowned in thought. "How many other villages are there, add up ......"

"At least 100,000." Lu Jiu said weakly.

"One hundred thousand, ah......" Shikamaru had the same headache.

Another question arises, since there are already so many ninjas killed in the ninja world, why only about 5,000 people will become enemies.

If it's a terrible guy who has mastered the means of controlling the dead, is it because it is not enough to control too many people?

In this case, the limited number of 5,000 people must be the most powerful ninjas in the past, the shadows of each village, the upper ninja, and the powerful ninjas of the blood inheritance family.

The thought of becoming an enemy with a legion of more than twenty Shadow Thousands Shinobi made Shikamaru breathe hard.

In the early morning, it was quiet everywhere, and on the cold stone steps of Nara's house, Shikamaru was lying down to rest, he hadn't closed his eyes for two days, and he was about to fall asleep after lying down.

When he was drowsy, Shikamaru was woken up by his father, "Shikamaru, it seems that someone is calling you." ”

Who the hell is it, early in the morning.

Shikaku watched Shikamaru get up and walk out of the house with a little sleepiness, and soon, Shikaku heard a vague conversation, and then, he saw Shikamaru come back with something.

Dad's eyes kept looking into his arms, "Toys." Shikamaru reluctantly took out the things in his arms, he put the little mouse on the steps, and then pulled the tail of the mouse, the clockwork was pulled, and the little mouse ran away.

Such a childish toy, the deer laughed silently for a long time.

"I'm just casually saying that Naruto is the size of a gift box, if there are a lot of gifts, give me one." Shikamaru shook his head, "That guy is serious. ”

"He gave me this rat king, and asked me if I liked it, and if I didn't like him to give me something else."

"This guy is so stupid and touching."

The little mouse hit the corner and didn't move, and the cat who got up early in the Nara family wanted to catch the little mouse after seeing it, and Shikamaru drove the cat away and picked up the toy.

"Shikamaru, we seem to have overlooked one thing." Lujiu teased the cat and said.

"Man-pillar force (man-pillar force)." The two looked at each other and said in unison.

Naruto's sudden visit made the dizzy two notice their negligence.

In a war with a huge disparity in power, man-to-man strength plays a crucial role.

——

In the forty-fifth game of the wargame, the Blue Konoha ninja troops controlled by Shikamaru still couldn't resist for long and failed, and the addition of the Nine-Tails Pillar Force was not enough to tilt the balance of the war, because the power represented by the chess pieces in Shikaku's hands was too strong, and the advantage of everyone's pillar power would be leveled by just one of the first Hokage.

……

In the fiftieth game, Shikamaru finally changed his mind, and he made a new chess piece representing the other four major ninja villages and most of the small ninja villages except for Konoha, so that Shikamaru had nine human pillar forces in his hands, plus five shadows, plus a huge force of nearly 100,000 ninja alliances.

Shikamaru finally stalemates for a while, and then the headquarters of the Ninja Coalition is raided by more than twenty dead shadows such as the first Hokage, Madara Uchiha, and the first Thunder Shadow Mizukage Tsuchikage. The enemy's decapitation operation was successful, and the ninja coalition lost its command center and it was difficult to form a unified operation, which was broken by each one.

Defeated again.

In the ninja war in the original book, the command center of the coalition army was bombarded by a tailed beast jade of the ten tails, and the war games were to be simulated and repeated repeatedly.

Shikamaru has unconsciously deduced another possibility.

After forming a ninja alliance, Shikamaru thought he saw a chance to win, but he didn't expect his father to pour another wave of cold water on him.

"Although I don't know who the enemy is, if I am the enemy, if I want to launch a war that will subvert the whole world, the shadows and human pillars of each village must be the first target." Lu Jiu possessed, reached out and picked up a few chess pieces and threw them off the map.

"Again." Shikaku motioned for Shikamaru to rearrange the chessboard.

Shikamaru opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, the human pillar power was gone, and with the first-level combat power of the human pillar force, half of the shadows in each village were also taken away.

The Ninja Coalition still has a less ugly number of ninjas, but ...... No matter how you look at it, it's a defeat.
