Chapter 285: Tsuchikage

Two days ago Onoki put down the report in his hand, feeling a little headache, as if the fragile cervical spine could no longer support his head, he subconsciously raised his hand to stand on the table, and supported his head, but he might as well move too fast, almost stretching his old waist.

As one of the Five Shadows, even among the ninjas who are feared by ordinary people, Onoki is definitely a member of the top of the pyramid, but this still can't make him resist the erosion of time, whether it is physical strength or energy, he has a sense of exhaustion recently.

Even so, he can't unload the burden of the earth shadow, several potential young people have not grown up, it is not a good thing to serve as a village leader too early, just like the four generations of Hokage in Konoha Village, when you are elected as the leader by the village people who are full of expectations, you will naturally shoulder a heavy mission, but in the face of danger, as the head of the people, you must not flinch to face the difficulties, otherwise it may cause criticism, and even ruin your reputation, and your reputation will be in vain.

If he could, Onoki still hoped that he would be able to shelter the young people in the village for a while longer in his lifetime, and it would be better to die in office than to finally get sick.

Of course, there are other factors that go into his insistence on not stepping down, and Onoki sometimes thinks that if Shikamaru hadn't come out of nowhere, he would have relinquished his position to his juniors a long time ago.

Although Shikamaru said that ninjas were forbidden to enter the territory of Tanokuni, this did not mean that he would be able to block the news of the entire country, although the surrounding ninja villages were unwilling to easily provoke Shikamaru, who was famous in the ninja world, but if they wanted to collect information, they also had many means.

The report that Onoki just finished reading is the news from the country of Tian, the "Lord of the Heavenly Palace" preached in Tateyama Castle, and the momentum of the Yi Sect, which had maintained a low profile, rose sharply, not only that, but the lord of Tateyama Castle, Uesugi Seiji, actually raised an army to rebel, and on the grounds of relieving the people upside down, he attacked the city and plundered the wall, and swept through many surrounding cities, and there was also the shadow of the Yi Sect behind this.

Shikamaru can't hide this kind of thing at all, and the surrounding countries, including the land country, know about it, and some daimyo also feel uneasy, the nobles and the royal family have been passed down from generation to generation, and their status has always been higher than that of the common people, and they are rarely troubled by swords, but Uesugi Seiji's actions made them see a hint of danger, and the daimyo of the land country ordered Iwakuin Village to pay attention to this matter.

In the report, the name of the land country was almost on the page, and Onoki was disdainful in his heart, but he didn't like to ignore it, which put him in a dilemma.

Bang!

The door to the office was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Onoki didn't have to look up to know who was coming - the only one in the entire Iwakuin Village who had the guts to break into his office without knocking on the door was his granddaughter Kuroto.

After the black short hair pushed open the door, he broke in directly, and without even saying a word, he sat on a chair in front of Ohnoki's desk with a big grin, and leaned on the back of the chair as if he had no bones, and sighed exaggeratedly, his expression was depressed, as if he had just suffered some great sin, and when he saw that Ohnoki didn't look at her, he pursed his mouth, stepped forward with a coquettish face, and muttered and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

"Get out of the way!" Onoki looked impatient, and raised his hand to wave away the black soil: "This is a very important announcement!" ”

Seeing that Onoki looked like he was about to be angry, Kuroto couldn't help but pout, glanced at the notice that was not closed, then sat back in his chair and asked lazily, "Nara Shikamaru?" And what did he do? ”

Onoki glared at Kuroto dissatisfied, and said in a deep voice: "Something happened to Tian no Kuni, and the daimyo of my country is a little worried. ”

"What's the matter?" Black Earth continued to ask.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, you're a ninja!" Onoki reprimanded sharply, but only got a white eye from the black soil.

Some things will never be learned without experiencing a war, Onoki saw the appearance of the black soil and didn't care, and couldn't help sighing, peace means that there are fewer opportunities for "communication" with other ninja village ninjas, and they have not experienced war, and there are few young people who communicate with other villages, especially the ninjas of the big ninja village, most of them grew up in the small circle of the ninja village where they are located, and some young ninjas who think they have good talent and strength are inevitably suspected of being arrogant.

The chief juro of Fog Hidden Village probably wouldn't have thought that he would be killed by Nara Shikamaru along with several outstanding ninjas in Cloud Hidden Village. Darui would not have imagined that he would fight with the strongest of the young generation in Konoha Village, and the end might be so miserable.

Onoki has seen many excellent young ninjas emerge during the war, and they have all made a name for themselves by stepping on the corpses of the older generation of ninjas - he is one of them, so he has never taken any opponent lightly, and this is the biggest difference between him and Kuroto and others.

He may rely on the old and sell the old because of face, but in the face of a strong enemy, he is always clear in his heart, and tells himself that the other party is strong - how strong? As long as you treat it as a great enemy that you have never seen in your life, you can do it.

This is also why he is hesitant to provoke Shikamaru, Onoki knows very well how difficult it is to stand out from Konoha Village, which has many famous families such as Uchiha and Hinata, and how strong the person who can do this will be - Sarutobi Hiza, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Bo Feng Shuimen, Onoki is not afraid to fight Shikamaru, or even die together, but he is not sure of killing with one hit, and he does not dare to shoot easily.

Shikamaru is only fifteen years old this year, and he will only be sixteen years old in a few months, but he has already killed Orochimaru, and the surrounding countries that are shocked do not dare to act rashly, except for Ohnogi, Iwakuin Village, even if it is Onoki's son Loess, I am afraid it is not Shikamaru's opponent, if Onoki loses the battle with Shikamaru, Iwakuin Village and Loess Black Earth and other ninjas will have to face a terrible enemy with infinite potential.

"Forget it, just take some news and deal with the daimyo." Onoki seems to have figured it out, he is still more willing to think about Iwakuin Village and his descendants than for his own country's daimyo, Shikamaru is now in full swing, and he is not willing to ignore his edge.

There is information that Shikamaru once made a big fuss in Yunyin Village, counting the matter of the Water Country, the grievances between the two are not small, plus the anger of Wuyin Village, Shikamaru is not short of enemies, which also somewhat relieved Onoki.

Shikamaru defeated the strongest shinobi in the Sand Hidden Village in the middle ninja exam, and then almost wiped out the most potential young people in Yunyin and Wuyin in the land of water, and now many people in the ninja world understand that when the older generation of ninjas is dead or old, and the new generation of ninjas begin to carry the banner, the title of the first person in the ninja world is likely to fall on Shikamaru, and there are many ninjas who regard Shikamaru as a thorn in the flesh like Onoki, and they don't want to sit back and watch this happen.

…………

Ohnogi thought right, even the Sand Hidden Village, which seems to have little grudge with Shikamaru, also maintains a hostile attitude towards Shikamaru, and now Shikamaru's head is worth 30 million taels on the black market, of which Sand Hidden Village secretly "contributed" as much as 3 million taels.

It's a pity that compared to Shikamaru, who is far away, all the energy of Sand Hidden Village has now been poured into the threat that is close at hand.
