Falling leaves cover the land, and buds emerge from the soil, scented with grass.

Footsteps shattered, trampling on leaves, and made a soft creaking sound.

The sound of the river in front of you can be faintly heard, and the air is hot and humid, making it unbearable for those walking in the woodland.

It is different from the climate of the country of fire, different from the country of wind, different from the country of wind, different from the high cliffs of the country of thunder, different from the dry cliffs of the country of earth, and even different from the country of water, where the sea currents are divided, and the small islands are clustered.

The two ninjas cautiously searched among the trees, dodging the poisonous insects and snakes around them.

"This place seems to be very similar to the location described in the intelligence."

"Is the site of the empty ninja here?"

The two of them were not very sure, and continued to grope towards the location in the intelligence. They are employed by the Xiao Organization, and as wandering ninjas on the mainland, although they have not learned much advanced ninjutsu, they are also very skilled.

They descended the river, but saw a large serpent coiled in the water, ready to devour its prey.

The huge body, sharp teeth, and the cascading scales on the body are enough to make people feel terrifying. The two wandering ninjas were both afraid to fight and to make a big fuss when they fought them.

The two ninjas jumped on the branches and complained, "I really don't want to stay in this hellish place for a moment. ”

"Look!"

Fireworks rose in the distance, and it looked like it was man-made.

The two ninjas quickly dived over, quietly opened the branches and took a look, and saw four or five people making a fire on the open space to barbecue meat.

"You're looking for death!"

Just as the meat was about to be cooked, an older man came over and reprimanded him loudly.

"If you let the chief know, do you want to go to prison?"

Thinking of the painful feeling of being chakra pumped all over their bodies, the ninjas who were grilling the meat didn't feel a convulsion in their bodies.

"Captain, get around us!"

"Put out the fire. The leader said that now the development of aircraft has reached a critical moment. If it goes well, our revenge battle against the five ninja villages will be fast. At this time, there must be no mistakes. ”

Although the ninjas on the ground were a little reluctant, they still obeyed the captain's orders and extinguished the fire.

"Who?"

The leaves moved slightly, but the captain of the air ninja noticed the abnormality.

The empty ninja who was still laughing and pleading just now changed his face at this moment, and the familiar skills and the formation that was not far from each other showed that these ninjas were well-trained.

Ichigan Kushinobi quickly surrounded the two ninjas hired by Akatsuki, and the captain of the Kushinobi stood out from the crowd.

"Where did you ninjas come from? Konoha? ”

Konoha is the most powerful ninja village in the ninja world today, even in a closed environment, these empty ninjas have heard about Konoha over the years. At the same time, they also see Konoha as the biggest threat.

The two ninjas hired by Akatsuki didn't answer, and the captain of the empty ninja didn't get the answer he wanted.

"Grab them, put them in jail, and censor them slowly."

The forest was filled with birdsong, then silence returned.

"Missing?"

At the head of Konoha Village, on the pontoon bridge, Shikamaru was followed by Shiro.

"Yes. Over the years, many of the most skilled wandering ninjas have been hired by the Akatsuki Organization to complete reconnaissance work for us. After the ninjas sent to find the empty ninja village disappeared this time, Nagato-sama sent ten more wandering ninjas to them, but they still disappeared. It's almost certain that there's something wrong with that area. The ninja range of the Sky Ninja Village is located near the place where the two teams of wandering ninjas disappeared. ”

The Sky Ninja Village is different from the other five ninja villages, and although the Sky Ninja uses Wind Escape, it is able to combine ninjutsu and machinery in a unique way.

And if Shikamaru predicted correctly, the huge floating fortress in the Sky Ninja Village has the technology Shikamaru desperately needs right now.

"Who else is idle in the organization right now?"

Shikamaru asked.

Bai shook his head and said, "Now that Luyin Village and Shayin Village are fighting, all the members of Xiao, except for Lord Nagato, have already thrown themselves into the war. ”

"Nagato is the commander of this campaign, and he can't be used yet."

The affairs of the empty ninja village cannot be known to the Konoha village, and if the high-level of Konoha knows that the remnants of the empty ninja are still alive, they will definitely send the dark department to nip the danger in the bud.

The power in Shikamaru's hands is still in his hands, and he is afraid that he only needs to study the forgetful Orochimaru in the Dragon Land Cave. Now the roots are searching everywhere for traces of Otoshibu and Orochimaru, and Danzou is about to turn over the country of Tian, but he can't even find the shadow of Orochimaru. If Orochimaru really appears, if the trace is leaked, it will definitely attract the group and the roots, and it will be difficult to do it at that time.

"Looks like I'm the only one there."

"But now Konoha Shinobi, who graduated at the same time as you, is busy with tasks. If you go out, do I need to pretend to entrust Konoha with a mission? ”

Konoha ninjas are kept track of their outings, and the village has a strict monitoring program to manage each ninja. In addition to Jiraiya, ninjas of this level can be unrestrained, and ordinary ninjas will be controlled. Shikamaru graduated from ninja school, and he is already a shinobi, and he is also under this monitoring system.

Although Shikamaru is the son-in-law of the Nara family, he did not participate in the traditional pig-deer butterfly combination. In the eyes of outsiders, this is undoubtedly a loss of conditions as the heir of the Nara family. However, this also created a lot of favorable conditions for him. In Konoha Village, neither the villagers nor the ninjas pay much attention to him.

And the ninja family has its own traditions, and for these traditions, the upper layer of Konoha is not too restrictive.

"No, if I accept the task, it will make the Konoha higher-ups suspicious. Let's just say that I'm going to start my graduation training and practice ninjutsu, and I'm going to leave Konoha for a long time. ”

"I see."

Bai nodded and said.

"During this time, you will stay in Konoha Village and manage the few companies I have established."

Shikamaru wasn't worried that Konoha would object, because he had already left Konoha when they knew about it.

At present, the company founded by Shikamaru in Konoha has developed weapons and products that can only be regarded as petty fights. For ninjas, these things are not at all threatening.

Therefore, although Shikamaru has accumulated a lot of funds, the top management of Konoha still turns a blind eye and has no intention of caring at all.

But if Shikamaru can get the technology of the empty ninja fortress, the effect will be completely different.
