The courtyard is deep and leafy. The flowers and plants are quiet, the air is pleasant, and the world is square, but with the loud explosion, the owner's delicate pruning becomes meaningless.

Shikamaru was relaxing drinking herbal tea and eating breakfast, but wave after wave of explosions almost collapsed the ceiling of the Nara family's house.

Dust flew, and a thin smell of gunpowder wafted through the air.

Shikamaru glanced at the dusty pastries on the table and said, "Don't let people eat anymore!" ”

Three or five clansmen from the Nara family hurriedly ran in, saw Shikamaru with a leisurely face, and said anxiously: "Shikamaru-sama, the village has been attacked, and Shikaku-sama asked us to take you to the shelter." ”

"Attack? Who is attacking? ”

Looking at Shikamaru who was calm and relaxed, these clansmen of the Nara family almost had an illusion that the person in front of them looked like a child.

"It is not clear that the enemy carried out a large-scale demolition of the village. Fortunately, the third and fourth generations evacuated the villagers to the underground shelter early, and there were no major casualties. ”

Although he felt that this was not the time to talk in detail, the clansmen of the Nara family still answered Shikamaru's question.

"Massive explosions?"

Shikamaru glanced outside the courtyard, black smoke billowed and rumbling in his ears, and the whole village felt as if it was in a sea of flames.

"Konoha has strict regulations on items such as detonation charms, and there are only a few that can be bought in the ninja shop. It is simply impossible to prepare so many detonation charms and bring them into Konoha Village smoothly. Unless.......! ”

"Unless what?"

"Unless the attackers have the internal means to get their hands on that number of detonators."

Shikamaru smiled, and he didn't think it became interesting.

"Internal approach, what does Shikamaru-sama mean?"

"These attackers are not foreign ninjas, they are probably from the Fire Country. Don't forget, in order to prepare for the Hokage's succession ceremony, many craftsmen, merchants, and even ordinary citizens of the Fire Nation have entered Konoha. The goods and materials they brought with them, Konoha didn't search them strictly! ”

"Impossible! We, Konoha Village, have protected the entire Fire Nation from the flames of war, so why would they do this to us? ”

The clansmen of the Nara family emotionally rejected Shikamaru's words.

Shikamaru smiled, not commenting on the wishful thinking of the ninja of the Nara family. It is true that Konoha Village has protected the Fire Nation from war. But who started this war?

The power of the ninja is too strong, it is a lower ninja, and it can easily solve more than a dozen ordinary people, not to mention the upper ninja who has the strength to stand at the top of the ninja.

In the eyes of many people, ninjas are nothing more than monsters caught in the middle of a killing!

"Maybe!"

Shikamaru shrugged his shoulders and didn't dwell too much on the subject.

"Let's go!"

There is no specific formation between the ninjas, and these five ninjas are three in front and two behind, guarding Shikamaru in the middle.

At this moment, the streets of Konoha are filled with smoke and dust, and the shops that used to be prosperous are uninhabited, and they seem empty, and some are enemy ninjas who are hunting on the rooftops.

The policy formulated by the top management of Konoha is to save people and light things. As long as people can survive to the maximum extent, then no matter how badly Konoha Village was destroyed in the war, it can still be rebuilt, and even more prosperous than before.

After all, the Fire Nation occupies one of the largest and most fertile lands in this world. In order to maintain their rule, the daimyo of the Fire Nation will spare no effort to support Konoha and deliver supplies to it.

"Whoa, whoa!"

An unpleasant noise-like cry rang in his ears, and the enemy ninjas who were hunting on the rooftops discovered the presence of Shikamaru and his party and immediately surrounded them.

Destruction and slaughter can easily stimulate the darkest side of the human heart, these ninjas wreak havoc in Konoha Village, and set fire to it without any scruples. They have already abandoned the light in their hearts, and they are all like wild beasts.

"They are from the Nara family, and the head says that this is our focus of attack!"

"Shikamaru-sama, be careful."

The guards of Shikamaru are all elite ninjas from the Nara family, and there is even a shinobi among them. However, there are too many ninjas besieging them, and there is a tendency to increase.

Two ninjas guarded Shikamaru in the corner, and the other three barely resisted. Again and with a supple body, he jumped onto Shikamaru's shoulder, and the fierce battle scene didn't seem to affect its interest in playing in the slightest.

Just as the sparse defense line formed by the three people in front of him was about to be broken through, the whole body of the brigade suddenly tensed, and it jumped from Shikamaru's shoulder to the ground, its pupils dilated, and it was about to act.

"Back to heaven!"

At this critical moment, the attackers were attacked behind them. A large number of ninjas from the Hyuga family arrived, and its leader, Hinata Hinata, easily beat the dozen or so attackers to the ground.

"Who are you?"

Feeling the overwhelming attack power, the ninja who attacked Shikamaru asked in horror.

"Hinata, the strongest clan in Konoha!"

While Hinata Hinata reported his name, a pair of white eyes looked at Shikamaru in the corner, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

"What's going on? That chakra! ”

Hinata Hizo's hesitation was only for a moment, and after dealing with the attackers present, the Nara family's shinobi quickly met him.

"Thank you so much, Hinata-sama!"

"I'm escorting my people to the Vault, so come with us!"

Among the clansmen escorted by Hinata Hinata Hinata was impressively included. She hid behind Hinata Hinata a little shyly, and when she looked at Shikamaru with a red face, she quickly lowered her head.

The crowd marched towards the shelter, and on the way, they met the Sakura Haruno's family. However, the Hyuga clan, which was outnumbered, did not gain convenience because of this, but encountered more sieges from enemy attackers.

The enemy ninjas used a large number of detonation charms to join the battle, and even the Hyuga clan suffered a lot against them.

Children are guarded in the most central area. Shikamaru was flanked by Hinata and Sakura Haruno, both of whom were a little nervous at the moment. Because as the defense time has grown, the battle between the two sides has gradually evolved from the initial front battle to a dogfight, and the core area has become unsafe.

Ninja is best at perceiving crises, and Hinata is young enough to feel the murderous aura around her. In this surging crowd of people, Hinata looked at Shikamaru behind him, took a light breath, and his little face suddenly became serious.

Hinata took a step forward, her hands in a soft fist stance, and her big eyes revealed incomparable firmness.

"Brother Shikamaru, I will protect you!"
