Chapter XXXVII

(Thanks to the book friend "Melancholy" for helping to correct the error!) ）

Shikamaru suddenly turned his head, and the person who came was wearing a black kimono, half of his face was wrapped in bandages, and he was holding a wooden cane, with an old face, but he had black hair, two scars on his chin, and his exposed eyes were slightly narrowed, with a hint of vulture temperament.

This old man is none other than Shimura Danzo, who was called "synonymous with darkness" by the four generations of Thunder Shadow in the original book!

"Nara Shikamaru," Shimura Danzou walked out of the conference room, tapped the ground lightly with his cane, and said slowly to Shikamaru, "It was the old man who summoned you here." ”

Shikamaru was suspicious of the sudden appearance of Danzo, but he couldn't show hostility and distrust on his face, although he was familiar with the original book and knew Shimura Danzo's person, but to some extent, this person was a more difficult character than Orochimaru, with the identity of Elder Konoha , unless he was at risk of betraying the village, or if there was conclusive evidence, Shimura Danzo could be put to death.

Shimura glanced at the dark one, and the one bowed his head and bowed, and walked away quickly.

Seeing this, Shikamaru thought for a moment and guessed that the person was likely to be the mountain stroke with the ability to perceive in the "roots".

"Come in!" When Shimura Danzo saw the shadow who was suspected of having a mountain stroke leave, he turned his gaze back to Shikamaru, and after giving an expressionless command, he turned around and entered the conference room.

Shikamaru hesitated, but walked into the conference room, he really couldn't figure out why Shimura Danzo, who had kept a low profile during the reign of the three Hokages, suddenly summoned him.

After entering the conference room, Shimura Danzou came to the main seat and sat down directly, facing Shikamaru who was standing with his hands down, and said with an expressionless face: "Many of your things, including the experience of the country of waves-privately helping the task client to do things beyond the scope of his duties-these old men already know. ”

"As a ninja, this kind of private behavior that violates the rules should be punished severely!" Shimura Danzo said, grabbed the cane and slammed it on the ground, using this behavior to aggravate his tone, and then looked at Shikamaru, who was calm and unpredictable, and his tone slowed down: "But I think, you are still a teenager in the end, especially your performance in the ninja school and during the mission, it is very good, as long as you can continue to contribute to the village in the future, this mistake can be forgiven, do you understand!" ”

When Shikamaru heard this, his heart moved, but his face was still silent, and he didn't echo Shimura Danzo's words, but just listened quietly, wanting to see what else he would say.

Shimura Danzo saw Shikamaru's performance, his brows furrowed, his left eye narrowed slightly, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly said, "Do you agree to join the dark special mobile unit under my jurisdiction, 'Root'!?" ”

Shimura Danzo's invitation came to his ears, and Shikamaru even had a surprised look on his face, but fortunately he found it in time and made a puzzled look: "Root? ”

"The members of the so-called 'roots' are real ninjas, no names, no feelings, no past, no future, only the mission exists in their hearts, they spend their lives in poverty, silently sacrifice and dedicate ...... for the whole, but what supports the big tree of Konoha Village behind it is the 'root' that is deeply rooted in the earth!" Shimura Danzou said slowly in a low tone, while paying attention to Shikamaru's expression: "The rights of the members of the 'root' are the same as those of the dark department, but they are only under the jurisdiction and transfer of the old man and me, and other than that, there is no need to obey any orders from others. ”

First he threatened with the mistakes of the country of waves, then he was seduced by a noble mission, and finally he was tempted by power......

Shikamaru lowered his head slightly, as if he was chewing and digesting Shimura Danzo's words, but he was actually covering up the sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

If you are not familiar with the original work, and have the independent personality and values of an adult, Shimura Danzang's tone at this time, maybe it can really deter the young hot-blooded Shikamaru, bewitch it, and voluntarily join the 'root', you know, hiding in the dark, it is equivalent to not receiving the attention and closure of others, it is difficult to be intervened by the outside world, and then it can be rubbed and kneaded at will by Tuanzang, life and death, and there is no right at all,。

Besides, what is a real ninja? In the previous life of Shindo Shikamaru, including many years ago in this world, those ninjas who could only have a low status and have no fixed place liked to hide in the shadows and not fall into the light? It's just because of the general environment and the unpopularity of the lord at the time.,Unable to develop.,I can only wrap myself in mystical darkness.,It has nothing to do with the ninja itself.,Beauty and light are always what people yearn for.,Maybe there are ninjas who are willing to sacrifice and dedicate themselves for the benefit of the whole and lofty ideals.,But it's not to become the so-called "real ninja.。

Even if Shikamaru wants to sacrifice and dedicate, he will not find a leader like Shimura Danzo who will only ask others, and the ultra-left militarist face in the original book jumps on the page, full of collective righteousness, asking others to sacrifice and dedicate, but in order to become the Hokage, he replaced the collective with an individual, until the end, knowing that he must die, he wants to die with Uchiha Sasuke and Ah Fei, but unfortunately, that kind of situation is not called sacrifice, but a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry.

Shimura Danzo's purpose of pulling Shikamaru into the "roots" has been roughly guessed by Shikamaru himself.

Even if the potential of Shikamaru itself is removed, the reputation and strength of his father Nara Shikahisa himself are difficult to find a second person in the Nara clan that can be compared, and he is the best candidate to inherit the patriarch in the future. He even controlled the Nara clan in order to fulfill his ambition to become the Hokage.

"Lord Danzo, I'm still just a lowly shinobi now," Shikamaru pondered for a while, and then refused in a respectful and euphemistic tone, "I'm afraid I'm not qualified to be in the team with a noble mission of 'Root'." ”

At this time, Shikamaru's strength is low, compared with Tuanzang, the advisor elder of Konoha Village, it is not a level at all, and he can only temporarily endure and bow his head, but as the so-called ability to bend and stretch, Shikamaru has not grown at this time, so he does not plunder his edge, but the positions and goals of the two are destined to be hostile, and when the right time is right in the future, he will obtain evidence of collusion between Tuanzang and foreign enemies, and he will naturally be ruined.

"It's okay, the 'root' is also responsible for the training of new blood in the dark department, and if you join it, you will naturally be able to obtain more complete and rigorous training." Shimura Danzou didn't want to think about it, and he didn't seem to be aware of Shikamaru's intentions at all.

Shikamaru frowned when he heard this, not knowing if Danzang was too self-centered, and he couldn't understand the euphemistic opposition of others at all, and his tone was a little tougher: "If you want to train, you can have my father and Sarufei Asma teacher to tutor you, and you don't need me to join the 'root'!" ”

"......," Shikamaru's refusal was so obvious that Shimura Danzou finally noticed it, and there seemed to be a cold light in Shikamaru's eyes that was fleeting: "It seems that Konoha has cultivated you to such a point in vain, greedy for vanity and self-interest, and unwilling to make small sacrifices for ......the peace and prosperity of Konoha Ninja Village." ”

"Elder Tuanzang!" Shikamaru loudly interrupted Shimura Danzo's behavior of splashing dirty water, and finally said a little unceremoniously: "I don't think that as an ordinary ninja, it is a selfish act, everyone is contributing their own strength to Konoha Village!" ”

"Self-sacrifice, that's what a ninja is. Never see the light of day, as a hero hiding in the shadows, this is the true face of ninjas from ancient times to the present! Shimura Tuanzang's tone was cold, and his brows were tightly locked: "In this world, beautiful words alone will not work!" Nara, I'll ask you one last time - are you willing to sacrifice your dedication for the good of the whole village and be a member of the 'root' hidden under the dark dirt!? ”

"I'm sorry, Elder Tuanzang." Shikamaru refused without hesitation: "As far as I know, there are only three generations of Hokage-sama who can represent the entire village in Konoha Village now!" ”
