Chapter 248: Anomalous

After a year, when Shikamaru returned to the territory of the country of waves, he could clearly perceive the difference between this place and the past.

The bridge connecting with the Land of Fire has gradually become famous, and the merchants and travelers on the Shikamaru Bridge are constantly coming and going, and the traffic is bustling and prosperous.

The geographical location of the country of waves is excellent, after trading with the country of fire, most of the resources can be obtained through trade, coupled with the support of the country of fire, based on this, the sea route exchanges and trade with other countries, so that the development of the country of waves is more and more rapid, and the unique and beautiful environment, but also make many travelers come to this country to play, if you don't have some understanding, I'm afraid there are not many people who would have thought that this country was on the verge of destruction not long ago.

"Shikamaru Bridge?" The big characters deeply embedded in the bridge make it clear from afar, and Li Luo didn't know much about Shikamaru's deeds in the country of waves, so when he saw the name of this bridge, he was a little puzzled.

Shikamaru saw the bridge named after him with his own eyes, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, feeling a little weird.

While explaining the reason for the name of the bridge to Li Luo, he walked towards the bridge without stopping.

"Brother Shikamaru!"

Shikamaru, who had just stepped off the bridge, heard someone shouting to him from a distance, the voice was a little familiar, and his slightly sharp voice was still childish, and at the same time, it also carried the vitality that should be there at this age.

Shikamaru turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from, a black-haired boy in a short-sleeved shirt, laughing at this time, running in the direction where he was, the boy's face still had a hint of redness, maybe it was caused by exercise, or it could be because of excitement.

"Inali?" Shikamaru stopped the vigilant Hinata Ninji and the oil girl Shino and the others, squinted at the boy who was running, frowned and whispered.

Compared with a year ago, Inari not only has a lot of growth, but his temperament has also changed a lot, the round hat that never leaves is gone, and the boy with short black hair looks lively and sunny, and there is no longer a trace of deep vulture on his body.

Inari, who was laughing happily, quickly ran to Shikamaru and the others, gasped slightly, couldn't hide the excitement on his face, and said to Shikamaru: "Daimyo asked me to pick you up with my grandfather, but I was in a hurry, so I ran over first." ”

"Didn't Brother Ding Ci and Sister Ino come?" Inari was not afraid of life at all, and looked at Jiraiya and the others curiously, and asked Shikamaru at the same time.

"We're here on a mission this time, and they have their own things to do." Shikamaru shook his head and replied, looking at Inari, who was heroic and manly, he smiled and reached out to rub his hair, and sighed, "You are growing so fast!" ”

Inari smirked "hehe", thought for a moment, and asked, "Can you stay here a little longer?" We've moved, can you come and sit at our house? ”

"I'm afraid not." Shikamaru replied that they would immediately meet with the Daimyo of the Land of Waves, and then directly arrange to go to the sea to the Land of Water, and if the action went well, they would also report to Konoha Village immediately, so that they could not delay too much time in the Land of Waves.

Inari couldn't hide the disappointment on his face, but compared to his peers, who had experienced many twists and turns, he understood things better, and quickly returned to normal, taking Shikamaru and the others to join Dazna as a guide.

After meeting up with Dazna, the group chatted as they walked towards the residence of the daimyo of the country of waves.

After all, the plan of Konoha Village and the Land of Fire is to use the Land of Waves as a buffer and a transit point for trade and trade with the Land of Water, although the Country of Waves has no right to refuse, but it also has to inform them.

…………

When the initial novelty wore off, there was nothing left to see in the endless and unchanged ocean, and there were not many entertainment facilities on the ship, and the three of them, Hinata Ninji, and Shino Oilo soon after, also learned from Shikamaru, and spent most of their time immersed in rest and training.

The battle that needs to be fought after arriving at the Fog Hidden Village is not simple, and the four of them must adjust their condition to the best so that they will not make mistakes.

After several days of turbulence on the sea, the scenery that had remained unchanged for most of the day finally changed, and the shadows of the land were blurred in the distance as far as the eye could see, and seabirds were flying with the ships.

This made several ninjas of Konoha and the representative of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, Kobayashi Keimoto, unable to help but be shocked, knowing that it would not be long before he could land in the Land of Water.

Both the Land of Water and the Fog Hidden Village sent people to greet Shikamaru and the others, and after the boat they were on docked and anchored at the dock, Kobayashi Keiyuan left with the team of the Daimyo of the Land of Water first, leaving a few people from Konoha Village alone to face the greeters of the Fog Hidden Village.

The connection between a country's daimyo and Shinobi Village is not very close, otherwise the Sand Hidden Village would not have concealed its own daimyo to attack Konoha and cause a war. In fact, many times, a country's policy is even influenced by Shinobi Village, and the reason why the Daimyo of the Land of Water is willing to exercise the founding policy is not unrelated to the fact that the Fog Hidden Village has a certain confidence in the recovery of its own strength after cultivation.

The Daimyo of the Land of Water may affect the attitude of the Fog Hidden Village, but it is impossible to dominate it in battle with Konoha Village, so Kobayashi Keiyuan's side is just an auxiliary, and the real main force of negotiations is still the six ninjas of Konoha Village, including Shikamaru.

There are a total of nine mist ninjas who came to greet the people of Konoha, the scene is not small, the mist ninja man who started is tall, with short blue hair, wearing a high-necked line jacket, a simple kimono on the outside, two pieces of paper with runes written on them hanging from the earlobes of both ears, it doesn't look like a simple decoration, his right eye is covered by a pitch-black blindfold, with a confident smile on his face, after seeing Shikamaru and the others get off the boat, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually spreads, and he greeted him from afar.

"My lord, I am also a senior." The misty shinobi with a black blindfold is the upper ninja 'Qing' of the Misty Hidden Village, and he is one of the right-hand men of the fifth generation of Mizukage Shōmizu, and at this time, he greeted Koharu and Jiraiya respectively, and brought a few Mist Ninja forward and said, "Mizukage-sama has been waiting for you for a long time. ”

"In that case, let's get to Fog Hidden Village as soon as possible and meet Mizukage!" If a ninja learns from the slow procrastination of those ordinary officials or nobles, he will be looked down upon by other ninjas, and his vigorous and resolute style is what other ninjas respect.

"Okay." Qing nodded and replied, his words were concise, and he seemed to be a ninja who advocated vigorous and resolute behavior, his generation of fog ninja was able to survive safely, and they had all experienced the cruel purge and high-pressure rule of the four generations of Mizukage's reign, whether it was mental or strength, they were the best among ninjas of the same age, because ninjas with insufficient talent could not survive until now, Qing relied on the white eye obtained from the ninjas of the Hyuga clan under the blindfold of his right eye, and made a lot of efforts to get rid of the rule of the four generations of Mizukage in the Fog Hidden Village, which is why he has today's status, It's also a little arrogant because of this.

He has the qualifications to be proud, actual combat and a cruel living environment may not be the only way to hone a ninja, but a ninja who can't pass this test is definitely unqualified, in the dark period of the reign of the four generations of Mizukage, countless Mist Ninja took various extreme measures to retaliate or fight directly, Momochi no longer cut and even chose to assassinate Mizukage, but in the end failed to escape, Qing Zi thought that it was better than no more Slash this kind of Mist Ninja, because he chose a more difficult path - stay in the Fog Hidden Village, live, and finally revive the Ninja Village with the five generations of Mizukage.

It's just that if you don't kill this Fog Ninja, who has a very high talent in the "Silent Assassination Technique" and was once one of the Seven Ninja Swords, if he still stays in the Fog Hidden Village, he should be able to live until now, Qing's eyes touched Shikamaru's body, and he couldn't help but think with some pity in his heart, so if he didn't kill him, he wouldn't die so miserably in a foreign country, or even die in the hands of a pawn who was still unknown at the time.

Although there were many thoughts in Qing's heart, there was no abnormality in his appearance, and he gestured with several other mist ninjas, and the well-trained mist ninjas quickly formed a loose formation, surrounding Konoha and several people, leaving enough space between them, and then he saluted Koharu, made a slight gesture, and led the way forward.

Shikamaru's eyes turned, and he quickly took the formation of the mist ninja into his eyes, and after confirming that this loose formation not only could not pose a threat to his own side, but that he and several Konoha ninjas could easily tear through their defenses, he didn't say anything more, and he waved his hand at Hinata Ningji, Li Luo, and Oil Girl Shino, who was holding the position of team leader, and asked them to follow Zhuan Koharu and act as a guard.

Zhuan Xiaochun's age is already very old, and there are not many ninjas in the entire ninja world who can defeat time, even if Zhuan Xiaochun was strong when he was young, now he is just an old lady who is still healthy, and her combat ability is not high, and she is an elder who represents Tsunade, and she can't make a mistake, so she naturally has to be well-maintained.

A group of Konoha and Mist Hidden ninjas silently rushed to the road, and Jilai also followed closely after Mist Ninja on Ninja, followed by Hinata Ninji, Oil Girl Shino and Li Luo Escorted by Zhuan Koharu, behind the hall was Shikamaru who was expressionless and didn't know what he was thinking, and Mist Ninja except for Qing followed on the periphery of Konoha team, and the two teams were distinct, but they were safe.

The climate of the country of water is warm and humid, and it is surrounded by the sea on all sides, and the water vapor is abundant, which also forms a very characteristic environment, many areas within the country are often shrouded in fog, and the periphery of the location of the fog hidden village is surrounded by dense fog for many years, if it is an outsider who is not familiar with the route, they may even lose their direction in the foggy weather, and spend a lot of time looking for the edge of the fog hidden village, which is why the fog hidden village is famous for the "silent assassination technique" of the ninja world - in this environment is simply a training ground for honing this skill.

This is the reason why the Misty Shinobi adopted a loose encirclement formation, and they were to prevent the Konoha people from falling behind and scattering through the dense fog area around the Fog Hidden Village.

When everyone finally passed through this area where even the air seemed to be extremely humid, Shikamaru even felt that his clothes were a little wet, but fortunately, the fog in the Fog Hidden Village was not heavy, and he could already vaguely see the figures gathered at the gate of the Fog Hidden Village.

It's just that as the distance from the gate of Wuyin Village gets closer and closer, Shikamaru's gaze can't help but stare at a glance, presumably at this time, Jiraiya and Zhuan Xiaochun are not much better.

At the gate of Fog Hidden Village, among the fog ninjas, there were several ninjas wearing thin clothes and dark skin.
