Rain Ninja Village, the central tower.

Xiao Nan stands on the edge of the window.

"The operation still failed, and the defensive barrier of that mountain was as incredible as ever, and the clone that had just been canceled made me think I was exposed. Nagato, Deidara and they are going to start the operation tomorrow, and if Konoha sends Aozaki to help, it will be almost impossible for us to complete the mission. ”

The atmosphere in the central tower was depressing, as it had always been in the past three years, and even though the monsters that suddenly attacked three years ago had not appeared again, the two of them had never let down their vigilance.

At this moment, Payne Heavenly Dao was sitting cross-legged on the ground, deep in thought, and the reincarnation eye was unfathomable.

"The possibility of direct action by Aozaki is limited. Since it was the incident of Kazekage's capture, of course Sand Hide preferred to solve it on his own, even if Konoha sent reinforcements, he should be taboo to take the lead. After all, we've been lurking silently for the past three years, and we didn't start acting until recently, and all of a sudden, Konoha didn't think about us. ”

Xiao Nan looked at him deeply: "Nagato, are you sure?" ”

She clenched her fists slightly.

After three years, Xiao is finally ready to act.

Since the original fake Thunder Shadow operation was exposed, the five major powers have been tracking Xiao's traces, and even the fundraising plan of the horn capital has been hindered, not to mention the second phase of collecting tailed beasts. Tomorrow is the time for the Qinglong Jade Girl Group to capture a tail, which seems to be a very simple job, but the organization is facing one of the biggest problems first.

"The five-tailed and seven-tailed ones we captured are only half of their chakra, and the other half of the power is missing. Xiao Nan, I know this. ”

Tiandao Payne lowered his head and stared at the stone slab ground: "So this time, the capture of a Shouhe was directly snatched from Shayin Village, and immediately sent to the nearest stronghold, and immediately sealed." During this time, I will also use the Elephant Turning Technique, copying the Weasel and the Oni Shark to delay time, and arrange the seal at the entrance of the cave. In this way......"

He raised his right hand and unleashed the force of gravity, causing a piece of floor tiles to shatter.

He stared at the stone ball in his hand, his gaze still deep.

"I'd like to see, the problem is what!"

Xiao Nan nodded silently, turned into thousands of snow-white paper butterflies, and slowly floated towards the sky outside the tower.

In the past three years, her goal has never changed, always to keep an eye on the ancient temple.

The mysterious woman who personally attacked the Rain Ninja Village and successfully bombarded the disguised Thunder Shadow and the White Absolute Clone, exposing the existence of the organization, was a thorn in her throat that she couldn't swallow in the past three years.

In this way, the atmosphere of the imminent start of the great war appeared.

But for Konoha Village, everything is still peaceful.

A black crow flew over the house.

The sun shines on the Hokage Rock, and a new day begins in an orderly manner.

For example, at the ninja school, Konohamaru appeared at the door grinning, wearing a shinobi forehead, and was about to show off in front of the junior students. The future Hokage Kiyemaru-samaru is now a genius master of the nine D-class missions last night, and the little kids are envious, right?

At the same time, there is also a trio of pigs, deer and butterflies who are ready to go out on a mission. Ding Ji was pondering lunch as always, and Ino suggested Naruto Roll after pondering for a while, and then his strange face was slightly red, and he didn't know where to go. It was only when she saw the communication eagle from Shayin Village flying by, that she was slightly surprised, because the eagle was the fastest in the village, did something big happen?

Shikamaru walked with his hands in his pocket, his expression bored, because he had a personal task to complete today.

Because today, the woman from the Sand Hidden Village is here in Konoha again, and there are some messy things in the spirit of the alliance. And he has been in charge of the woman's guide work for the past three years, and it is said that this damn arrangement was decided by Hokage-sama after listening to Miss Aoko's suggestion and laughing.

"Huh...... So, the trouble is dead. ”

He grumbled irritably, said goodbye to his companion at a junction, and walked towards the inn.

Then, as expected, he saw the troublesome woman at the door of the bun shop next to the inn.

"Hey, Temari!"

The woman looked at him in surprise with a bun in her mouth.

"Shikamaru? Ah, do you want to try the steamed buns of this house, it feels delicious. ”

Shikamaru couldn't help but sigh deeply, so, ah, he's a person from Konoha Village, do you need a woman from Shayin to introduce local food?

It's a hassle.

"I understand, I just didn't eat breakfast, boss, let's have a drawer of xiaolongbao!"

"Okay, please wait!"

Because they still have work to do, the two of them carry buns and eat while walking. Although it feels troublesome, silence is not too gentlemanly, so Shikamaru pondered it and brought up a topic in a serious manner.

"I just saw the shadow of your village coming, it's the fastest communication eagle in your village, is there something wrong?"

"Shadow Disease?"

Temari's mouth is stuffed with buns: "I don't usually use it to make a move...... So it's definitely a big deal...... But you ask me......"

"Yo, isn't this Shikamaru!"

A blonde boy appeared at the intersection and beckoned to him happily: "Why did you run there?" I just saw Ino on the street! ”

"Naruto, you're blind."

Shikamaru said in a muffled voice, "Don't you see that I'm working as a guide for the diplomatic ambassador?" ”

"Huh?"

Naruto tilted his head, and only then did he notice that there was another woman next to Shikamaru.

The same blonde hair, combed in four buns, with a fan on his back, and a fiery figure.

It's the woman.

Naruto suddenly felt embarrassed, and his face was slightly red.

"Uh...... It turned out to be Temari, a diplomatic envoy of Konoha? When did this happen? ”

But seeing Temari eating buns normally, he shrugged his shoulders innocently, looked at Shikamaru, and kicked the ball to him.

Shikamaru stepped forward and crossed between him and Temari: "Naruto...... What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Temari came to Konoha not once or twice, and why do you see her every time...... Forget it, isn't there a task for the seventh class today? ”

I don't know why, anyway, Shikamaru just wanted to step forward and separate Temari from Naruto. I don't know what's going on with this kid, obviously he doesn't have much to do, but he seems to have a crush on that woman. Fortunately, they are typical falling flowers suspected of intentionality, and the flowing water is obviously ruthless, because Temari is obviously right......

To whom?

What was he thinking?

Shikamaru coughed fiercely.

"Oh yes, mission!"

Naruto smiled and slapped his fist, his face bright: "I almost forgot!" Thank you so much, Shikamaru, and Temari, bye-bye! ”

As he spoke, this kid ran happier than anyone else, and rushed in the direction of the Hokage Building like a galloping horse.

Shikamaru watched him go from nervousness to breath out, and the corners of his mouth twitched, looking at the innocent hand bow.

"Hey, Temari, when did you get acquainted with him?"

Temari has been eating steamed buns and his eyes are bright.

"Hmm...... I'm not familiar with it! Uncooked! ”

Then, when Shikamaru subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and turned her head, her eyes suddenly became a blank stunt, and her original blue eyes were gone, turning into a golden luster.

She stared blankly in a certain direction of the village.

Far away, on the hillside, there was a mysterious mansion.
