Chapter 32: Traitors
"Brother Shikamaru!"
A sweet voice resounded through the courtyard, and Toki, the princess of the Bird Country, trotted over and rushed into the arms of Shikamaru, who had followed Yahiko.
The toki is small in size, but it is very delicate, like a small porcelain doll. To outsiders, Shikamaru was just Yahiko's henchman, but the young Toki didn't care about this kind of view at all.
Or rather, she doesn't understand or care at the moment.
"You said the last time you came that it would bring me something fun, give it to me!"
Toki's cheeks were red, his face full of anticipation.
"Did I promise anything like this?"
Shikamaru said secretly in his heart, vaguely remembering that the last time he came, he was entangled by this little girl, and there was no way to do it, as if he had promised her something.
Looking at the other party's expectant eyes, Shikamaru was embarrassed to say that he was fooling you. He looked around and picked up a bamboo pole from the ground.
The shadow is like a knife, and Shikamaru's chakra is lodged in it, like the sharpest blade of a sword. Shikamaru manipulated the shadow and slashed the long bamboo pole into a bamboo dragonfly.
"See? This one is called a bamboo dragonfly! ”
Shikamaru rubbed his hands together, and the bamboo dragonfly flew up. Toki's small eyes were wide open, and his face was full of admiration.
"Brother Shikamaru, you're really amazing!"
"It's really powerful, you can manipulate Chakra so accurately at a young age, your village is really full of talents!"
Hongming, the most relied on advisor of the Daimyo of the Bird Country, came out of the house, and unlike Toki, who was in a state of complete admiration, there was deep vigilance and doubt in his tone.
"Lord Hongming! Is the meeting with Lord Egret finished? ”
Yahiko lowered his head slightly, he was unwilling to make more excuses about Shikamaru's identity. In fact, there are only a few people who know Shikamaru's identity so far.
"Not yet, in fact, Lord Egret summoned you to go in precisely for this purpose."
"Something to do with us?"
Yahiko was a little confused, but he didn't ask too much. With Shikamaru with him, he quickly walked into the house, leaving behind a frosty red light and a poor and happy crested ibis.
In the middle of the house, the heron sat in the first place, frowning. His son, Heron, sat beside him, looking a little indignant.
And under him, there is a girl and a middle-aged man.
"Lord Egret, the task you entrusted us to complete has been successfully completed."
"This matter is not in a hurry, this is the three doctors of Asama in the Snow Country."
Ogre introduced the three doctors of Asama, but the girl who was higher in his position didn't make a sound. It seems that the big heron also knows very little about her identity.
"Our monarch is benevolent and puts the people first in everything. Who would have expected that because of his kindness, he would attract the scourge of killing. The traitor Fenghua angrily killed the king and usurped the throne, I had the intention to kill the thief, but my strength was weak, so I could only run away. I hope that your daimyo will help us in our crusade against the traitors! ”
Yahiko turned around slightly and looked behind him, only to see Shikamaru nodding.
"I don't understand, since Fenghua Futao has done such an unrighteous act, why don't you seek justice from the Daimyo of the Land of Wind or the Land of Earth?"
"I won't tell you that I've been on an envoy to both countries before, but I haven't even seen the daimyo in person. Great countries have always been greedy, but they rarely have the will to be benevolent. In desperation, I had no choice but to run away again and seek the help of the Daimyo of the Bird Country. ”
The land of snow is covered with snow all year round, and it is so poor that it asks people to contribute money and troops, but they can't get an equal return for their efforts, and the name of the people is not stupid.
Shikamaru rolled the dead fish's eyes and said secretly.
"It's just too much! Let everyone kill such thieves! ”
The son of the heron, the heron, was furious, and looked as if someone had usurped his throne.
There was an expression on the big heron's face that you were not stupid. You must know that although the land of snow is poor, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is very strong! He summoned Yahiko in, precisely because he was not good at refusing in person, and wanted to use Yahiko's mouth to refuse.
"We in Luyin Village can help!"
Everyone saw that the little boy behind Yahiko spoke. No one thought that this inconspicuous boy would actually decide things before Yahiko. At this time, everyone present was surprised and stunned and did not say a word. Whether it's the monarch heron, or the three doctors of Asama.
"I don't know who you are?"
The first to react was the girl from the top of the three doctors Asama, and he asked with a hint of curiosity.
"It's the village chief of Luyin Village, Nara Shikamaru!"
The girl was a little stunned, he didn't understand the meaning of the surname Nara, but Hongming, who followed closely, knew.
The Nara family was one of the first to join the Konoha family. And so far, it also has a pivotal position in Konoha!
The kid in front of him is actually that bird shadow, and he is actually Nara Shikamaru! For a while, Hong Ming's heart was like thunder, and he was stunned and at a loss.
It's not that he hasn't thought about exploring the details of Luyin Village, and it's not that he hasn't investigated the identity of this child who has been following Yahiko, but in the end he found nothing.
And now, Shikamaru actually announced his identity in the most incredible but also the easiest way in front of everyone.
In Hong Ming's opinion, there was only one explanation for this, and he didn't care at all what the people present would think in their hearts? It is an attitude of naked contempt, or rather, the attitude of a powerful beast looking down on the weak insects and ants!
The girl didn't think about it so much, seeing Shikamaru so straightforward, following the etiquette of being a nobleman, she also said: "It's rude, I'm the princess of the Snow Country, Fenghua Xiaoxue!" ”
"Your Highness the Princess!" The three doctors of Asama said quickly, wanting to stop it, but they were stopped by Fenghua Xiaoxue reaching out.
"Shikamaru-sama has just promised to help us, so naturally I can't hide my identity anymore. It's just that I don't understand, all the big countries think that the snow country is remote and poor, and they are unwilling to help. Why did Shikamaru-sama say yes? ”
It can be seen that although Fenghua Xiaoxue is young, she is very courageous. is weak, but there is a bit of a country on his body. Courage and beauty, combined with a woman, give this woman a different kind of charm.
"It doesn't have to be a complicated reason. We in Luyin Village have the ability to take back the throne that should belong to you from your uncle Fenghua Fury, and that's enough! ”
Fenghua Xiaoxue looked at Shikamaru with a hint of brilliance in her eyes. Although the child in front of him was young, his tone was extremely domineering.
"Then I'll ask Shikamaru-sama for help!"
At the moment when everyone didn't have time to react, Fenghua Xiaoxue bowed deeply to Shikamaru.
