Chapter 123: The Outpost

"Thank you!"

Yuryu's village is large and seems to be the largest gathering place in the vicinity.

The place where things are discussed in the village is a stone house with leaky wind on all sides.

At this moment, the village chief and a group of villagers surrounded Shikamaru in the center of the house to express their gratitude.

Despite this, the villagers of this village did not show much enthusiasm for Shikamaru as a life-saving benefactor, and it was more like they had to do it out of etiquette.

At the end of the day, Shikamaru used reverse spiritism when he went to get the medicine. These villagers have a lot of resistance to ninjas. They couldn't help but repay Shikamaru's life-saving kindness, so after consulting the villagers' opinions, the village chief said that he was willing to do something for Shikamaru, and then the two sides settled the bill.

What a stubborn and simple person!

Shikamaru looked at the group of villagers and touched his chin.

"So be it! I'm going to build a medicine factory here to exploit the flora and fauna of the rainforest! Can you help me build an outpost first? ”

"Outpost?"

The names of the village looked at each other, and they didn't know what kind of building Shikamaru was talking about.

"Do you have any specific drawings?"

Yuliu stood aside and asked in a low voice.

Shikamaru took a stack of drawings from his sleeve and handed them to the village chief. The village chief, who had seen the world among the others, glanced at the drawings that Shikamaru had taken out, and immediately said that there was no problem with such a simple building.

"I'm really bothering you! Once we've built our outpost, we're ready to explore the rainforest! ”

From beginning to end, Yuliu's teacher clasped his hands around and leaned against the stone wall, not saying a word. Especially when Shikamaru said that he wanted to explore the rainforest, his eyebrows were even more faintly furrowed, exuding anger, which was not at all commensurate with his usual appearance of helping the world and saving people.

The moonlit night was windy, and when the villagers had been busy preparing building materials for a long day, they had fallen asleep in the night.

In Yuliu's house, the girl was very tired after a day of study, and fell asleep peacefully on the bed, with a gentle smile on her face. The old man smiled, turned around slowly, and walked out of the room.

The village is quiet at night, and the occasional sound of insects can be heard. It's close to the rainforest, and the houses in the village are made of stone to prevent poisonous insects and other creatures from sneaking into the houses at night.

At night, basically no one goes out. The night is not as good as the day, it is dark everywhere, and it is the time when snakes, insects, rats and ants gather to act, even the most courageous people dare not go out at this time.

The old man didn't care at all, and slowly walked towards the dense forest outside the village.

"Chief!"

In the darkness of the night, the old man walked under a tree, and a soft call came.

"How's that going on with what I asked you to check?"

"Nara Shikamaru, the sister-in-law of the Nara family in Konoha Village, is indeed not in Konoha Village."

"Are you sure?"

He was tempted to say that he was wandering around Konoha Village when he was hungry and accidentally walked into a ramen shop, and happened to hear a little imp named Naruto Uzumaki next to him.

"Yes! Two months ago, his subordinates infiltrated Konoha Village on the orders of the chief, and after many days of hiding and strict investigation, his subordinates obtained a lot of information about Konoha Village. One of them is that the son-in-law of the Nara family went out to practice. ”

"It looks like it's the same person!"

The old man muttered, for a while, it was not good to comment on the appearance of Shikamaru. After all, Konoha Village is the most powerful opponent of his imaginary enemies, and he has a great vigilance against the appearance of Konoha Ninja.

"Chief, do we need to take action and solve that Konoha problem?"

The old man waved his hand and said, "Don't go out for the time being." ”

The old man couldn't be sure if this was Shikamaru's private behavior, or if the Konoha higher-ups were behind it. If you act rashly, then it is easy to expose the empty ninja village to the vision of the five great ninja villages again.

At this moment, the empty ninja village has not yet found the zero-tail scroll, and it cannot drive the air fortress, and it does not have the strength to fight against the five major ninja villages.

"But if that outpost is built, and as the kid said, he's going to explore the rainforest, then we'll be exposed sooner or later."

The leader of the empty ninja shook his head and said, "That's it! Until the outpost is built, I'll find a reason for him to accompany me into the rainforest. Gather our ninjas, wait until we're deep into the rainforest, and kill that kid together, and disguise it as an accident. At that time, even if Konoha notices it and finds this place, it will be a long time to find out. ”

"I see!"

After the empty shinobi finished speaking, he stopped speaking. In the silence of the woodland, the leader of the empty ninja smiled and slowly left here. Without noticing the darkness of the night, a dark shadow was moving slowly above the ground.

The hut was brightly lit.

In order to repay Shikamaru, the villagers gave him one of the best rooms in the village.

Of course, in terms of the level of architecture here, the best house is only the most complete stone house.

It was cold outside, but inside it was like a stove. The breathability of this house is not good, Shikamaru sat on the bed, waved the fan, and couldn't sleep in some heat.

Ah Fei's figure quietly appeared in front of Shikamaru and told Shikamaru what he had heard.

"Ahh That old man's idea is really chic! ”

"Shall we do it in advance and wipe out the Empty Ninja Village?"

Shikamaru smiled and said, "No need. The strength of the Empty Ninja Village should not be underestimated, and if you want to eliminate the Empty Ninja Village, it is easy to cause a big stir. For us, it's very bad. ”

"So what are we going to do?"

"I've sent people to Konoha. In this matter, we need to use the power of the Uchiha. ”

"Do you want the Uchiha's power to be involved?"

Ah Fei was a little worried, after all, the people of the Uchiha family were quite stubborn and closed, and there were serious internal factions. If they were to know about the existence of the Empty Ninja Village, it was hard to say whether the entire Konoha higher-level would know about it.

"Don't worry! As long as the safety of the village and their family is not jeopardized, the Uchiha's people should keep it a secret for us. What's going on over there in the Land of Winds? ”

"Lord Konan gathered most of the rebels in the Land of the Wind and established a stronghold in the north. The agreement we have signed with the Land of the Wind has been completed, and the Shogunate of the Land of the Wind has been given to us. ”

Shikamaru nodded, and the next step is how to develop this stronghold? The most important part is water. Food can be transported by transport, but water cannot be transported in the same way.

Thinking of this, Shikamaru asked, "Have you found Miao's trace?" ”

"Since the last incident, Mio escaped. It has been retreating into the deep sea, and has no intention of going ashore again. ”

"Is that so?"
