Chapter 114: The Challenger

On the floating bridge, Shikamaru looked down at the scenery.

The creek gurgled and the leaves fluttered, falling into the river, causing a brief ripple, and then drifting away with the river.

"Yo! Shikamaru! ”

A commotion came from afar. Shikamaru looked back, and a small wild boar ran over. Behind it, there were also members of the seventh class.

Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno, are running around chasing the little boar, which is clearly a pet. When you pass the pontoon, don't forget to say hello to Shikamaru.

Sasuke Uchiha was assigned to the seventh class, and Shikamaru was still a little surprised. After all, the current Uchiha has not been exterminated, and Uchiha Sasuke, who is the son of the patriarch, has been assigned to Kakashi's subordinates, rather than Uchiha Obito, who is more familiar with writing wheels, which is obviously a bit abrupt.

"What an energetic group of children!"

The pharmacist helped his glasses, looked at the seventh class in the distance, and slowly walked behind Shikamaru. Konoha's environment is relatively relaxed, and if he changes to another ninja village, even a child of Naruto's age has to go through a cruel test every day, and it is absolutely impossible to run under the blue sky so freely like them.

"The roots of Shimura Danzo have already set off, and over there in Otoin Village, does Orochimaru really not care?"

"Orochimaru-sama said that the important materials and facilities he stored in Otoyin Village had been transferred in advance. The rest of the people are just fierce ninjas, and it's not a big deal. ”

"Lack of value, even if it is a human being, can it be discarded at will? It's really like Orochimaru's style! ”

Shikamaru looked into the distance and said.

"Most of those ninjas joined Otoshinobi because they were afraid of Orochimaru-sama's methods. So, at a critical moment, they can't be trusted. Orochimaru-sama ......"

Yakushidou stood behind him, as if trying to explain something, but finally gave up.

"Shikamaru-sama asked me to come, what is it for?"

"There's a big war about to start in the Land of Winds."

"The Great War?"

Yakushidou was a little puzzled, and his undercover career between various ninja villages since he was a child made him wear a mask in front of people all the time. Aside from Orochimaru, Shikamaru in front of him is the only one who can make Yakushidou reveal his true feelings.

Although Yakushidou doesn't understand why? Maybe it's because the Shikamaru in front of him doesn't make him feel the slightest threat, or maybe he can feel some common traits between Orochimaru and Shikamaru.

"Is Iwa Shinobi going to do something to Sand Hidden Village?"

Shikamaru smiled. Although Yakushidou is a brilliant ninja, to some extent, he still can't think outside the box.

"Nope! It's the Sand Hidden Village that is going to do it! ”

"Sand Hidden Village? Shouldn't they be busy dealing with the rebels in their country? Could it be that Luo Sha has already sensed the relationship between Luyin Village and those rebels? ”

"Luo Sha doesn't have such a big ability yet! It's just that the nobles of the Wind Country suddenly discovered that among the many small countries in the north of the Wind Country, a rich Snow Country suddenly appeared. The food produced in their country is enough to quell the disputes within the Land of the Wind. And Luo Sha, naturally, will not be empty. ”

"Is that so?"

The pharmacist smiled. He has seen a lot of intrigues between Ninja Village and Ninja Village. The world of ninjas has always been deceitful, so he doesn't think there's anything wrong with Raksha's approach.

"Raksha has already sent a letter to the Snow Ninja Village in the name of the Wind Shadow, hoping that the Snow Ninja Village will accept the protection of the Sand Hidden Village instead. If Luo Sha does not get the answer he wants, then the war will come early. When the time comes, Luyin Village and Shayin Village will inevitably have a big war. ”

"What does Shikamaru-sama want me to do?"

"You should have a few identities that can still be used in the Sand Hidden Village! Sneaking inside, I need to get information about Sand Hidden Village. Also, I'll let Shadow help you. ”

"Yes, Shikamaru-sama!"

Shikakure Village, Leader Yashiki.

In the not too big room, all the members of Xiao have arrived.

Nagato sat at the head and said with a serious face, "The Snow Ninja Village has clearly issued a request to refuse to be sheltered by the Sand Hidden Village. I'm afraid Luo Sha's side is about to start! ”

"Really? I haven't had any tasks lately, it's really boring! Deidara looked like he had finally something to do, which boosted his fighting spirit.

"The Sand Hidden Village is the attacker, and the number of ninjas who can mobilize combat power far exceeds us. Once their ninjas enter the realm of the Bird Country, with the strength of the ninjas we have now, they will be completely unable to resist. The most dangerous situation is that Raksha has reached a tacit understanding with Iwa Shinobi and Konoha. When the time comes, we will probably have to deal with more than one ninja village at the level of the five great powers. ”

Jiaodu analyzed it calmly, after all, in Luyin Village, only the members of the Xiao organization and a few shadows were considered high-end combat power. In terms of quantity, it is far less than that of Shayin Village.

"That's right. So what Torikage-sama means is that once war breaks out, we will bring it into the territory of the Land of Wind as much as possible. ”

"Within the borders of the Land of Wind? When Raksha starts, do we strike first! ”

The Red Sand Scorpion seemed to understand something, and after thinking slightly, he said.

"That's right. This is my battle plan. The difficulty with this plan is that we need to hold back the large amount of the opponent's military strength with limited strength and buy time for the final counterattack. ”

Looking at Nagato's battle plan, the members of Akatsuki nodded. Nagato looked at Ye Cang and the Red Sand Scorpion and said, "You two are traitors from Sand Hidden Village, once you appear on the battlefield, you will definitely attract a large number of Sand Ninja to encircle and suppress them. So, where the two of you are is also the most important. ”

Obviously, in Nagato's battle plan, he wanted to use the Red Sand Scorpion and Ye Cang to pull hatred and drag down the military strength of Sand Hidden Village. However, whether it is Ye Cang or the Red Sand Scorpion, there is no disgust.

"We get it!"

"This war may change the current order between the five great powers. Therefore, it is definitely not that easy. ”

Once the fourth generation of Wind Shadow Luo Sha really started attacking Luyin Village, it would definitely not stop easily. Since the establishment of the Five Great Ninja Villages, no ninja village from a small country has been able to defeat the Five Great Ninja Villages. Even the empty ninja village back then, with wind escape and technology that even the sand ninja could hardly match, but still under the joint efforts of the five ninja villages, it was finally defeated by Konoha in the end.

Over the decades, the five ninja villages have fought each other countless times, but they still maintain a tacit understanding with each other.

If there is really a ninja village that can challenge the status of Sand Hidden Village, then it is not easy to say how the other four ninja villages will react at that time!
