Chapter 204: Attack

(I was going to send it up together after the code, so it was late.) ）

Mori Noi Biki's order left Shikamaru confused, and even wondered if there was a conspiracy at one point.

But the other party's order procedures were waived, and Shikamaru couldn't find a place where he could refuse, so he had to secretly raise his vigilance, pack up, and go through the procedures for leaving the village.

Although it was the first time to go through the procedures for leaving the village alone, I had studied with Sarufei Asma at the beginning, and I was no stranger to it, and after showing the order signed from the head of the department, Mori Nai Biki, there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

Shikamaru left in a slight hurry, because the informant said that the traitor would be transferred at some point, and he must be arrested as soon as possible, although Shikamaru would not be frizzy because of this, and would even rather set off without all his equipment, but there was no extra time to rest, and after some preparations were made, he left the village directly.

This is a personal mission.,Only Shikamaru is involved.,Fortunately, the target of the capture is only a small ninja village in the middle of the ninja.,Under the enemy's light and secret,Shikamaru occupies an absolute advantage.,I'm not worried about too much danger.。 On the contrary, it was a series of strange orders since entering the torture department, which made Shikamaru a little vigilant.

In addition to the orders, there is also a mission briefing that Morino Biki conveyed, including information such as the characteristics of the target, habits, appearance, and even the location of the target, which is recorded in detail, and there will be intelligence officers in the local area who will connect with Shikamaru.

As the strongest military institution in the Fire Nation, it would be too irresponsible for Konoha Village to just shrink into a corner and just wait for war to come.

I can't even grasp a lot of local information, and spreading it will inevitably make other ninja villages laugh and lose their teeth.

In addition to information from local lords, there are a number of clans in some towns in the Fire Nation that serve as vassals, and the clergy have their own independent intelligence officers in important locations.

It can't be said that any wind and grass in the country of fire can't hide Konoha Village, but the events with a large impact can be known in Konoha Village in the shortest possible time.

However, because most of these intelligence officers are just ordinary people, their work efficiency is not high, and even Konoha Village itself has no expectations for them, and they have never been expected to provide valuable information, and they usually just report some local prices and the general situation of outsiders to Konoha Village, and they have their own professional staff officers in Konoha Village to analyze intelligence.

The target of Shikamaru's mission this time was not discovered by a local public, but a Konoha ninja on a mission discovered the anomaly of this renegade, but he was on a mission at the time, and he just noted down the appearance of this person, and after returning to the village, he reported to Konoha Village to know that the other party was a traitor from another country.

For Konoha Village, any enemy ninja is an excellent source of information, especially the traitorous ninja, they themselves are wanted by the enemy country, even if they are discovered, there is no need to fight so many war of words in diplomacy, just saying that "helping the other party capture wanted criminals for friendly purposes" is enough to deal with.

The briefing suggested that the travel time was three days, which was quite generous, but Shikamaru was not prepared to act on the briefing.

One is the faint uneasiness and vigilance in his heart, and the other is that he already has a plan for his actions.

He was going to find an inn to stay in first, and he hurried at night, and in two days he traveled quickly to the target's town, where he attacked in his sleep.

After all, this is the territory of the Fire Country, if you hurt the innocent, it is likely that you will be punished, and the target is moving around during the day, and there are more civilians for no reason, and the other party is tied up, it is better to do it in the hotel room where he stays, and solve the battle quickly.

Don't look at the two of them are middle ninjas, but Shikamaru is the best person who has stood out from the middle ninja exam that the elites of many countries have participated in, and it is not comparable to the average middle ninja, and he is not worried about the strength of the other party.

Shikamaru was thinking about things, but he could already see the outline of the town in the distance, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

…………

Although Shikamaru was not wearing the uniform of the interrogation and torture department, he was wearing the standard leather armor of the Konoha ninja on the outside of his clothes, indicating his identity as a ninja, so he had no accidents on the way to the hotel, neither met a legendary dog-legged evil boy bullying men and women, nor did he come to provoke a stupid person who did not know the height of the sky, and he had been walking into the hotel in the eyes of others or curiosity or awe.

In smooth water.

It seems that this is just an ordinary task for the middle ninja.

It's a pity that Shikamaru's inner vigilance has not weakened in the slightest, whether it is his own appointment or a sudden mission, there are too many irregularities, even if Shikamaru is not a victim paranoia, but it is not a stupid and bold nerve.

After he went through the formalities at the front desk to receive the key, he went to his room to rest without mentioning it.

At the same time that Shikamaru entered the hotel room, on the roof of a small building, a middle-aged man was pulling out the monoculars in his hand and paying close attention to Shikamaru, until Shikamaru closed the curtains in the room, and then put away the binoculars to himself: "The foot is very fast, it's so soon, what does it mean to close the curtains, do you want to sleep now?" ”

The middle-aged man didn't believe that Shikamaru had noticed his peep, but he had been ambushed in this town long before Shikamaru came here, and he didn't show any clues during Shikamaru's journey.

The middle-aged man thought for a while, suddenly his hands were sealed, and he snorted, and with his movements, a puff of smoke slowly rose, enveloping his figure, until the smoke dissipated, only a weak girl in a kimono stood quietly.

The girl, who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old, spun around in circles, checked her dress, smiled confidently, and sneaked out of the alley from the roof of a small building to the hotel where Shikamaru was staying.

Shikamaru's hotel is not simple, but it has nothing to do with the high-end, but it is just maintained by a family, and the reception staff at the front desk is a young woman, who is keeping accounts, but finds that the front door is opened, and a girl who looks a little hesitant walks into the hotel, and her expression seems to be uncertain.

"Hello, do you want to stay at the hotel?" The young woman asked the girl with a slight smile.

"Ah......, that ......." The girl seemed a little nervous, and stammered to reply, "I'm not here to stay ......." ”

As the girl spoke, her cheeks suddenly turned red, and she whispered, "I want to ask ...... the ninja who came in just now." Halfway through the sentence, the girl seemed too shy to say any more, but secretly turned her gaze to the young woman with anticipation in her eyes.

"Oh......." When the young woman heard the girl's words, she seemed to understand something in her present expression, and she sung the syllables meaningfully, and squinted at the girl.

There are still a few freckles on the green face, the young woman does not doubt the motives of the other party, the status of the ninja in this world is almost like the knight of the Western Middle Ages in Shikamaru's previous life, there are countless legends about the ninja, powerful force and mysterious traces, it is always inevitable that ordinary people will be curious, especially for the girl who is just beginning to fall in love, the lethality has risen step by step.

The young woman thought about the image of Shikamaru who had just left, she did have a mature temperament that was different from her peers, and the leather armor on her body also set off a heroic spirit, no wonder a girl came to the door so soon to inquire about the situation.

It's just that the young woman didn't expect this unusually weak looking girl to be so bold.

The thought turned in her heart, but the young woman could not bear to refuse this lovely and weak girl after all, and said with some regret: "The young man seems to have just finished his journey, let us not disturb him, saying that he is going to rest." ”

The girl's eyes flashed when she heard the young woman's words, but she feigned disappointment on her face, thanked the young woman, and walked out of the hotel quickly.

The young woman looked at the back of the girl's departure and sighed with girlish feelings, but she didn't know that the "girl" turned into a middle-aged man as soon as she left the hotel door, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a strong and burly figure, which made people unable to think that the weak and shy girl before was actually pretended to be this person.

"Rested? Are you going to take advantage of the night? After the middle-aged man changed into his original appearance, he muttered to himself, the reason why Shikamaru rested in broad daylight was easy to guess, after all, for excellent ninjas, darkness was the best protection, and compared to civilians and ordinary people, the night was the home of ninjas.

Even so, Shikamaru chose the time to rest, but it was cheaper for this middle-aged man who was inseparable from friend and foe!

Seeing that there were no extra pedestrians around, the middle-aged man began to seal, his hands skillfully changed, and his body was running chakra, with his movements, the soil under his feet seemed to ripple like water, and the man's body slowly sank into it, and disappeared in a moment.

…………

From the habits of a ninja staying in an unfamiliar place, it is often possible to tell whether the person is good enough as a ninja.

Most of the items in Shikamaru's room showed signs of moving, and some small items and chairs were scattered all over the floor in a disorderly manner - the first thing he did when he entered the room was to check for traps and set up a fighting environment that was conducive to his own fighting.

The sleeping place is neither directly facing the door, nor facing the window, nor directly against the wall, after all, for ninjas, the wall has little effect, but fortunately this hotel has no beds, and the bedroom is covered with tatami mats, so that passengers can sleep on it, and after moving the warm table, there is a very spacious sleeping space.

Shikamaru didn't turn everything out of the backpack, and after a simple freshening, he put the backpack on his left hand side and burrowed into the quilt.

Everything was ready, and the room seemed to be quiet for a while, only Shikamaru's even breathing echoed, as if he had fallen asleep.

Laugh at!

At this moment, the sudden change occurred, and the floor under Shikamaru seemed to come to life, and the wooden bars with the thickness of each arm were like long snakes with their own lives, and they quickly raised their heads, intending to tie Shikamaru lying on the tatami mat to the ground.

Swish!

As the living sticks approached Shikamaru's side, the young man, who seemed to be asleep, suddenly turned around, and at the same time, a black shadow that seemed to swallow all the light appeared from his palm, turning into an indestructible black blade, and with a single swing, it had already cut the wooden bars into several knots.

Black Magic. A thousand illusions! That black shadow was the "yin" attribute chakra emanating from the "shadow show" in Shikamaru's hand.

"What is this!? Is it an illusion? Shikamaru's pupils couldn't help but shrink when he finally saw the wooden strip that attacked him, and in his memory, it seemed that only a few people who had appeared in the original book could use the wooden ninjutsu, and it seemed unlikely that these people would attack him now.

However, he quickly denied in his heart that this was an illusion.

"It's a real Mu Dun." Shikamaru looked left and right, this hotel is mostly made of wood, if the opponent can use the wooden escape, it is indeed not a qualified battlefield, not to mention that there are other reasons.

Although he was still thinking about who attacked him, it was certain that no matter who it was, he was not qualified to ask Shikamaru to give up resistance!

Seeing that another wooden stick was growing from around the house and crashing into him, Shikamaru waved the "Shadow Show" in his hand again and again, cut off the wooden bar, and threw several shuriken at the window, and at the moment when the window shattered, Shikamaru also jumped out of it.

Woo!

Almost at the moment when Shikamaru jumped out of the window, Shikamaru, who was protecting his head with both hands, only heard a strong wind coming, and subconsciously pressed his hands down, blocking the knee rush of a person who rushed straight forward.

Syllable!

However, although Shikamaru successfully stopped the opponent's attack, he was unable to fight in mid-air, but he was pushed back into the room again by the force of this blow.

Swish!

When Shikamaru returned to the room, the assailant jumped in through the window, and had not been able to see the other party's face clearly because of the fact that he had not been caught off guard by the shards of glass from piercing his eyes and being attacked by surprise, and until this time he had a chance to take a closer look at the enemy.

With short and lean hair, a square face, a serious face, thick eyebrows and big ......eyes, this person's appearance is simply a template of a good person and righteousness, without words, most people's impression at first glance should not be bad, but this definitely does not include Shikamaru.

He didn't dare to call himself a hero full of righteousness, but the person who sneaked up while he was sleeping was definitely not a good person.

"Nara Shikamaru?" The middle-aged man glanced at the guarded Shikamaru and asked as if to confirm his identity.

“……。” Shikamaru pursed his lips tightly and did not answer.

"You can't escape." After the middle-aged man looked at Shikamaru's performance, he said with a slight smile, and at the same time his hands were sealed, and as soon as he stepped on the floor, with his movements, there were constantly wooden bars on the wooden door of the room that seemed to be alive, covering and sealing the door, it seemed that the other party wanted to close the room and prevent Shikamaru from escaping.

Shikamaru just quietly watched the other party's movements, and the sunlight swayed into the room from the broken window, casting a long shadow under the feet of the middle-aged man standing in front of the window.

"What am I running away from?" He whispered.

The middle-aged man suddenly made a strange movement at this time, as if he was pressing an invisible weight on his body, and finally couldn't bear to push it away.

Syllable!

With the middle-aged man's movements, the warm table in the room was suddenly turned over, and it fell to the floor with a soft sound.

In the shocked gaze of the middle-aged man, another identical Shikamaru came out from under the warm table, looked at him coldly, his hands were sealed, and the shadow under his feet and the middle-aged man wanted to catch trembled slightly, and then a black shadow in the shape of a human hand appeared from the feet of the middle-aged man like a strange snake, and continued to climb along his body to his neck.

It turned out that at some point, this middle-aged man had already been hit by Shikamaru's "shadow imitation technique"!

Bang!

"Shikamaru", who had been carrying the "Shadow Show", came to his companion's side, slowly inserted the sharp blade in his hand into the leather sheath behind the opponent's waist, and then sealed it with one hand, and dissipated in a bang and smoke.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man's pupils shrank, and he understood that Shikamaru had already calculated himself, and this person who had been attracting his attention turned out to be just a shadow clone.

"You only have one chance to answer my question." Shikamaru looked at the middle-aged man expressionlessly, and said slowly, no need to say more, his attitude has already shown that no matter whether the other party is lucky or would rather die than give in, he will only ask him once, if he is not satisfied, there is only a dead end.

"Who are you?"

(Orz's "forbearance * refinement" harmony is really peated depression.) ）
