Chapter 273: Grain

The afternoon sun finally pierced the dark clouds and swayed over Konoha Village.

Konohamaru stretched exaggeratedly, feeling a little sleepy, so he quickly got up from the bed, walked on the floor, and suddenly fell straight to the ground, relying on the strength of his forearms to support his body, and did several push-ups in a row.

Even if Shikamaru left the village, he still remembered some of the other party's teachings, and now when he was still growing his body, he always insisted on the habit of napping.

After doing more than a dozen push-ups, Konohamaru felt more energetic, so he got up and went to the living room, ready to drink some water. After the death of Sarutobi Hichi, although Asma wanted to take him home, but he refused, life is all about learning, sufficient experience can perfect the values of a ninja, and form his own ninja as soon as possible, this is what Shikamaru once told, Konohamaru kept it in mind.

Konohamaru walked quickly into the living room, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of something on the table in the living room, and stepped forward with some confusion, and after seeing what was placed on the table, his eyes couldn't help but stare at it.

On the table lay a scroll and a short weapon.

After Konohamaru picked up the short soldier first and pulled it out of the shark's skin sheath, he seemed to feel a chill in his face, and he didn't know if it was a hallucination. The short blade has a strange and simple shape, with three sides of the blade, slender and long, three wide blood grooves that are shocking, and the curved blade at the gauntlet flashes with a cold light.

Shadow show. Konohamaru was surprised in his heart, this strange blade with a unique shape belonged to his former teacher, Nara Shikamaru, known as "Kamigaku", he could never be mistaken, why did he run to his house now!?

Konohamaru hurriedly put down the "Shadow Show" and picked up the scroll next to him, the scroll had no extra decorations and patterns, he hurriedly opened it, and immediately caught his eye on a line of small characters.

Dreamless flow.

…………

Compared with the somewhat gloomy weather in Konoha Village at this time, the weather in Toyo Daocheng in Tiannokuni can be regarded as sunny, cloudless, and the sun is shining ......, but this kind of weather may not make people feel comfortable.

Shikamaru stood like a statue on the roof of a small building, with several people standing side by side.

Yamanaka Ino kept frowning, and the stench in the air somewhat blew away some of the joy of her reunion with Shikamaru.

The establishment of a sewerage system and the management of public health are not so easy, and require the cooperation and support of local rulers, as well as financial and human resources, but this is naturally a luxury for the corrupt and obscure national conditions of Tanokuni.

In such areas where civilians lived, open defecation was common, and it was not impossible to see the corpses of homeless people and beggars dumping dirt into the streets of the city in the dark corners of the city.

Of course, Shikamaru didn't ask them to come and see the sanitary environment of Tanokuni, but something more "interesting" and dramatic.

The tall man standing next to Shikamaru with thick eyebrows and big eyes is Tenzo, who was half-coerced and half-lured to Tanokuni. The second is Hinata Ningci, who has a cold face and long hair, and the young man next to Ning Ci is wearing a green tight-fitting suit, with an ugly watermelon head, and extremely thick eyebrows, naturally Li Luo, followed by the chubby Autumn Road Dingji and Yamanaka Ino with pale golden hair, and the Haruno Sakura who does not belong to his mind.

When Shikamaru was in Konoha, the people who asked Hinata Ninji to gather were the twelve small powerhouses who were still in the village, but in the end they decided to come to Tanokuni with Shikamaru were the only ones. However, Shikamaru was not disappointed, if it weren't for his growing prestige, I'm afraid that the few Xiaoqiang who stayed in Konoha Village might not be willing to gather, after all, Shikamaru is still a nominal traitor.

Shikamaru didn't brag about the future after he left, and he just told the truth to these Konoha ninjas with a bright future.

The future is not too bright, but there is an opportunity to break new ground.

Hinata Ningji, Akido Dingji and Yamanaka Ino almost did not hesitate to choose to leave with Shikamaru and go to the country of Tano, Ningji did not say, the latter two had a great friendship with Shikamaru, with years of contact and subtle influence, although they did not understand the situation in Shikamaru's mouth, they subconsciously chose to believe Shikamaru.

Li Luo also didn't have too much concern, and was moved by the lobbying of the former Hinata Ningji, and after hesitating for a moment, he also agreed to leave with Shikamaru, and the addition of Sakura Haruno was an accident. The oil girl Shino and Inuzuka Ya and Tian Tian did not choose to leave, and it was not surprising to Shikamaru, after all, they still have a great future in Konoha.

It's just that among these people who agreed to leave Shikamaru, including Hinata Ninji and Tenzo, I am afraid that they did not have an exact understanding of what Shikamaru said, so he used "Black Magic. Shifang" takes them to see something.

"Here we are." Shikamaru muttered to himself, his eyes fell on the group of people walking at the end of the avenue in the distance, compared to the shabby clothes of the civilians here, this group of people was obviously much better dressed, and there was no hunger and cold on their faces, among them were two men with strong physiques, and they were still holding knives.

A middle-aged man in the lead, with a shaved forehead that seemed to be oily, was holding a handkerchief over his mouth and nose, his eyes were disgusted, and he seemed to be complaining, and while paying attention to dodging the dirt on the road, he walked towards a group of people gathered on the side of the road.

"What do they want to do?" Even with Li Luo's rough nerves, he understood the difference between these people and the other families in this area, and he couldn't help frowning when he saw this.

Compared with Li Luo and the others, Tianzang's experience is obviously much more, and without Shikamaru explaining, he has already replied in a deep voice: "Buying and selling people." ”

The pile of people kneeling on the side of the road was mostly a few people, with vegetable faces, shabby clothes, numb and dull eyes, and the children of the family were surrounded by adults, slightly ahead, waiting for people to pick.

Seeing the richly dressed man walking here, the expressions of the people with dull faces finally relaxed, especially after seeing a tall man carrying a few bags, he couldn't hide his excitement, slowly stood up, and quickly surrounded those people.

Two men with knives quickly stepped forward, protecting the man with the bag and the obese man behind him, and the group punched and kicked the civilians around them, Shikamaru and the others could hear occasional wails from a distance, Ino and Haruno Sakura's faces were unbearable, Ino hesitated and said to Shikamaru: "Are we ......." ”

"Look on!" Shikamaru ordered unquestioningly, without even looking back.

Seeing that he was resolute, Ino could only continue to watch.

Those thin and short civilians were naturally not the enemies of those powerful thugs, and when one of them impatiently pulled out half of the blade, the surrounding civilians quickly dispersed, but they were still reluctant to leave, begging a few people to buy their children.

Seeing these civilians retreating, the obsessive man stepped forward, pushed away a civilian man in disgust, pushed him to a kneel, pulled the man's daughter in front of him, pulled her small head and thin body, seemed to be picking animals, and after a while, let the family press a handprint on a contract, and then tilted his head to the man carrying the grain bag behind him, and signaled that the other party handed the family a small bag of grain.

There is no crying and grabbing the ground, and there is no parting and reluctance to live and die.

The little girl kowtowed to the fat man neatly, and then calmly walked behind the other party, watching her parents hugging the little grain bag tightly, as if it was their own daughter, and the little son at their feet couldn't hide his excitement, jumping and laughing.

There is no way to live, how can there be so many sorrows about parting, for the little girl, after being sold, she can live better than now, and his family can get some food and survive for a little longer.

"How so!?" Sakura Haruno seemed to moan unbearably, unable to tell if she was disgusted with the majority of the family, or if she was disgusted with the rich people who were living on people.

"Reality is often more dramatic." Shikamaru whispered, it seemed too cruel to his group, but for the family, I'm afraid they were still happy.

With his words, the family sold their daughter, and slowly retreated in the eyes mixed with jealousy and greed around them, and after a certain distance from the rich people, the seemingly honest and honest head of the family took out a knife from his sleeve, and waved it at the other families who bought and sold their daughters without threat, with a hideous and fierce expression, and asked his wife to protect the grain bag and leave with the family.

"Keep up with them." Shikamaru pursed his lips, unwilling to pay attention to human trafficking anymore, and said to everyone.

Tenzo, Hinata Ningji, and Akido Dingji followed the departing Shikamaru without hesitation, Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino seemed to be in a trance, and then reacted, and finally glanced at the fat man who was still picking, and followed Shikamaru's footsteps to catch up.

Several people followed the steps of the family of three from a high place, and after walking a distance, they saw that the family had been stopped, although the intercepted people were also shabby and simple, but they were much better than the family of three with vegetables, and they were tall, and they all held short knives and daggers.

Li Luo's eyebrows were raised, his chest was indignant, and he wanted to make a move, but he was pulled by Shikamaru and asked him to continue looking, and he saw that the family seemed to have become accustomed to it, watching the grain bag in his wife's arms being snatched away, and pouring most of the grain into a bag brought by the other party.

Except for the well-informed Tianzang, several Xiaoqiang were dumbfounded, but they didn't expect that there were people who specifically squeezed these low-level people who had nothing to eat every day.

Shikamaru also felt that there was no need to continue looking, and his hands were sealed, and he used illusions, and those ordinary people saw that there seemed to be feathers falling from the sky in front of them, and they fell asleep unconsciously.

Shikamaru jumped off the roof with a few people and came to the side of a few people, Hinata Ninji stepped forward to get the grain bag, but found that one of the strong men with a dagger was still holding on tightly, and couldn't help kicking it away, let go of the bag and looked inside, scolded secretly, and handed the grain bag to Shikamaru.

Shikamaru saw Hinata's appearance, a little thoughtful, the grain bag was corn, so he grabbed a handful from the grain bag and spread it out in his hand.

"That's a lot of sand." Akido Dingji had been silent for a long time, but at this time, looking at the corn mixed with sand in Shikamaru's hand, or the sand mixed with corn, he finally spoke.

The food in this small bag is estimated to be barely enough for Qiu Daoding to eat every time, but now it seems that there is still most of the sand in it, I really don't know how long this family can eat, and that little girl's life is really cheap.

"How are you going to change this?" Compared to the Xiaoqiang who were still immersed in what they had seen and heard before, Tianzang didn't show too much sentimentality and asked Shikamaru.

"Institutions and violence alone are not enough!" Shikamaru carefully poured the corn in his hand into the bag and said to Tenzo, "Since you want these people to live, there is one thing that is indispensable. ”

"Food!" Qiu Dao Ding said in a deep voice.

"That's right! If I can fully grasp the natural energy, with its reserves, the short process of giving birth can increase the grain production, and if I am proficient in the wood retreat, I can even breed better grain seeds. Shikamaru nodded, the corners of his mouth tugging, revealing a sneer.

What is it to be able to kill tens of millions of people, he learned Mu Dun, in order to survive hundreds of millions of people.

"But how much space can you take care of alone?" Sakura Haruno asked hesitantly.

"One man can't do it, but one god can." Shikamaru replied directly, seemingly having made up his mind: "Because God has believers, and they are all God's eyes and hands and feet. ”
