The night is dark, the cold moon is lonely, and the forest is silent.

"Chief!"

A tall man stood on the edge of the forest on a moonlit night, and from beginning to end, he did not make a sound, like a stone statue.

Until, the arrival of the ninja in black.

The man turned slowly, his green eyes shining like a beast, choosing people to devour.

"Kakuto-sama, we've verified the information. In the hands of Jiuzong, a great merchant in the country of birds, there is indeed a large amount of grain in his hands. The sheer number is beyond imagination. ”

Kakudu looked at the darkness and vastness ahead, wondering what he was thinking?

"Kakuto-sama, should we act?"

"We have limited manpower, and even if we capture such a large amount of food, it will be difficult to transport it out of the borders of the Bird Country without being discovered! And...! ”

Kakuto grabbed the ninja in front of him by the throat, his fingers and claws, and just as he was about to kill the ninja in front of him, his body shattered and turned into water droplets.

"Have you prepared your body in advance? Quite cautious! ”

After the ninja used the stand-in technique, instead of leaving, he tangled up the hundreds of ninjas who had already been ambushed around him, and surrounded the horns.

"Sure enough, did you all betray me?"

These hundreds of ninjas are all members of the intelligence organization that Kakudu has established over the years. At this moment, in the face of everyone's betrayal, there was still no expression on Jiaodu's face.

The ninja who had used the stand-in technique walked out from the crowd, "Kakuto, hand over the land grievances?" ”

Jiaodu sneered and said disdainfully: "It's just you?" ”

"I'm not enough, but there are hundreds of ninjas here. We are all the people who have been enslaved by you all these years and have suffered so much! ”

Jiaodu shook his head and said, "It seems that you still don't understand!" What is a ninja? ”

The clothes were torn, and the four masked monsters crawled out strangely from behind the corner. Each masked monster represents the heart and will of a horned capital.

"Fire escape. Head hard! ”

"Wind escape. Crush! ”

The sea of flames instantly set the land on fire, and everything as far as the eye could see was burned to ashes by the flames. The ninjas, who had never seen Kakuto shoot, were in flames, and before they had time to regret it, they were annihilated in the dust.

With the help of the wind, the only people who survived were the ninjas who were proficient in water escape. After this hellish experience, these ninjas no longer had the heart to resist the siege and wanted to escape.

It's just that the horns didn't give them this opportunity.

The masked monster with the thunder attribute jumped into the sky, the flames had just dissipated, the corners of its strange mouth opened, the thunder attribute chakra condensed, and the sound of thunder and lightning rang through.

"Lei Dun. Pseudo-dark! ”

With unparalleled power and momentum, the spear of thunder and lightning headed towards the last remaining ninja on the earth.

In a matter of moments, the lives of the remaining ninjas were harvested one by one.

Step by step, Kakuto walked towards the leader of these ninjas who had betrayed him. At this moment, he was seriously injured, and it was impossible for him to use a little ninjutsu again.

The angle lifted him up, his eyes full of disdain.

"The so-called ninja sinks and kills in the abyss of hatred. Why do you think I'm going to take care of all the important things in your organization over the years? The world of ninjas is not fair, and a powerful upper ninja can easily kill hundreds of lower ninjas. And your stupidity, which seems to have taken my reward as capital to rebel against me? ”

The horns exerted a slight force, and the ninja in front of him was silent. looked at this messy battlefield, and watched the organization he had run for many years being destroyed by his own hands, but Jiaodu did not feel any regret and nostalgia, but just sighed slightly.

"There are not enough people now!"

.........

"Please, Birdshadow-sama!"

Luyin Village, in the middle of the chief's house. The great merchant Kusune fell in front of Shikamaru and pleaded deeply.

"Do you want our Luyin Village to protect a batch of grain in your hands?"

Shikamaru said with some confusion.

"Yes. After the Third Ninja War, there was a food shortage in various places. Not long ago, there was news of grain storage in my trading bank, and I don't know why it leaked out? Ninjas everywhere are moving when they hear the news, and it's a bit of a strain to rely on my guards alone. So, I'd like to ask for Bird Shadow-sama! ”

Surprised by Shikamaru's youth, Hisamune didn't have the slightest hint of contempt.

"As far as I know, the grain in your hands was stored for trading with Shayin Village and Yanyin Village. In that case, wouldn't it be safer to simply ask the ninjas of these two ninja villages to send out guards? ”

Jiuzong's face was formatted, and finally a hint of discoloration appeared. "The matter of my deal with the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth is top secret, and Lady Bird Shadow actually knows?"

Shikamaru smiled, and Jiuzong didn't pursue it.

"It's complicated! Not only is it about my business, but the top leaders of the Bird Country also want to use this to reach some consensus with the two major powers. ”

"Consensus?"

"Yes!" Jiuzong nodded and said, "The rich Bird Country has never had a ninja village before, and it has been able to be peaceful in this world for a long time, precisely because the Bird Country has secretly sent a huge amount of materials to these two great powers. It can be said that the country of birds has always played the role of a tightrope in the relationship between major powers, using its own weak strength to maintain the delicate balance between the two countries. ”

Speaking of this, Jiuzong's face became very serious.

"So, once this deal is lost. I am afraid that the country of birds will repeat the mistakes of the country of rain and become a battlefield for the great powers to fight. ”

"Is that so?"

Shikamaru nodded and said, "I can agree to your request, but you also know that our Luyin Village is a start-up, do you .....have a problem with funding?"

"There's no problem with this!"

........

"Are you a fallen stone? Actually asked Jiuzong directly for two mines? ”

Xiao Nan slowly walked out from the side, watched Jiuzong staggering away, and smiled.

However, Xiao Nan also laughed after all, and sat cross-legged in front of Shikamaru with Yahiko and the others, on the neat floor of the leader's house, waiting for his orders.

"This mission, Nagato, you lead all the Akatsuki organizations to dispatch. Yahiko and Xiao Nan, you will also go with two hundred shadows. ”

"Yes, Shikamaru-sama!"

Shikamaru was about to give instructions for the details when Deidara and the Red Sand Scorpion broke in.

"I heard you have action, is there anything fun?"

"Help others protect food!"

"What! It turned out to be so boring, I thought it was so funny? Deidara looked unhappy, and even the Red Sand Scorpion looked uninterested. They were no better than Nagato and the others, and they didn't participate, and they didn't even join the village.

"However, if this mission is successful, the village will have a huge amount of money. I see that the layout of the village is a bit monotonous, and I am ...... about building an art museum! ”

"Is it a puppet (clay) art gallery?"

Before Shikamaru could finish speaking, the Red Sand Scorpion and Deidara spoke together. When it was over, they looked at each other again, secretly competing.

Shikamaru smiled, and secretly said that free labor was coming.
