Chapter 205 Epistles

Careless.

After the middle-aged man heard Shikamaru's question, he couldn't help but think with a wry smile, or he wasn't careless, but Shikamaru's reaction and vigilance were indeed unexpectedly strong.

As a shinobi and can use the Blood Inheritance Limit like the first Hokage, he was really embarrassed that he would be caught.

The ghost knows why a middle ninja chooses to sleep in a warm table on the first party of the mission, looking like he will be attacked at any time.

Shikamaru is indeed not sure if someone really came back to attack him, but the biggest difference between him and Nara Shikamaru in the original book is that he never hesitates to put the plan in his mind into action, and he doubts that his appointment is the task arranged by Mori Nai Biki, so he thought of using the night to hurry, because at night, it is difficult for any stalker to hide Shikamaru's hearing, and the night is also an excellent cover for him.

When Shikamaru is no longer ready to act according to the plan on the briefing, then no matter what ambush and enemy are ahead, the plan must be changed according to his movements, and hastily formulated plans often have many flaws, if you don't want to make a rudimentary plan in a hurry, or are forced to fight him in the dark of night if Shikamaru is good at, now is a good time to attack Shikamaru.

When a ninja has just left his ninja village and has not yet penetrated into the enemy territory, it should be the moment of minimum vigilance.

At this time, Shikamaru had just walked out of Konoha Village, and he was still far away from the mission goal he needed to capture, so his vigilance should not be high.

For Shikamaru, it's just that the first night of sleep may be uncomfortable, and if you can lure out the enemies hidden in the shadows, it won't be unbearable.

And judging from the current situation, his actions are not useless.

This middle-aged man with a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes faced Shikamaru's question, and replied without the slightest hesitation: "I am the captain of the third detachment of the Konoha Dark Division, Tianzo. ”

Tenzo has no doubt about Shikamaru's determination, after reading the other party's information, he understands that he is now facing an excellent ninja who is determined to kill, and in the case of unclear circumstances, giving up a living source of information is not a difficult decision to make, in other words, if Shikamaru thinks that it is too dangerous to restrain him and is not conducive to dealing with the next situation, it is likely to kill him directly.

It's a pity that although Tianzang has already glanced at Shikamaru, he didn't expect the current situation after all, after all, he is a top ninja, and Shikamaru is a newly promoted middle ninja, if it weren't for Shikamaru's good strategy, in a frontal battle, the chance of defeating Tianzo is very small.

And Shikamaru couldn't help but be shocked after hearing the other party's words.

He's Orochimaru's test subject!?

Shikamaru, who is familiar with the original work, has the greatest advantage of intelligence, and he is still a shinobi, he knows the tailed beast, knows the human pillar force, knows the essence of Chakra, knows the legend of the six immortals, knows the secret of the reincarnation eye, and knows that he is going to face those enemies, even if it is some vague information, after his years of life in this world, he can deduce many things, this advantage, is incomparable to anyone.

Judging from the situation of the original book, there are very few people in this world who can use Mu Dun Ninjutsu, and the vast majority of people are unlikely to attack Shikamaru.

So when this man who called himself Tianzo said that he was the shadow of Konoha, although Shikamaru never let down his guard, his killing intent was somewhat diluted.

"You should also be surprised that you have been appointed to the middle ninja," Tenzo saw that Shikamaru was still staring at him silently, so he continued, "The intelligence officer of the torture department is just a position to disguise. ”

"Your real appointment was actually issued at the same time as the appointment of the Torture Department, and that is to become a member of the Konoha Village Assassination Tactical Special Force." When Tenzo said this, he showed a hint of an embarrassed smile: "You were temporarily assigned to the third detachment by Tsunade-sama's order, and I am the captain of the third detachment, and this time I am here to test you." ”

"Proof?" Shikamaru raised his eyebrows after hearing the other party's words and asked briefly.

"My ninja bag contains the forehead guard of Konoha Village, as well as orders and appointments issued by Tsunade-sama." Tenzo responded quickly.

Originally, he was going to capture Shikamaru and then let him go to tell the situation, this form is more useful than any proof, after all, it is impossible for a real enemy to withdraw from the battle when he has the absolute upper hand, but now he can only use documents to prove himself.

When Shikamaru heard Tenzo's words, he took out his ninja bag from behind him, and under the control of the shadow mimicry technique, Tenzo also had to make corresponding moves and take his ninja bag to him.

Shikamaru slowly pulled out the "Shadow Show", put it against the lanyard strap of the ninja bag, and made the action of throwing out the ninja bag, his own ninja bag was still hanging with the "Shadow Show", and was not thrown out, but Tenzo did not have such good luck, and watched the ninja bag with many of his weapons and equipment draw a beautiful parabola and fall into Shikamaru's hand.

Konoha forehead guard, letter of appointment, assassination manual, .......

Tianzang is not lying, these three things are enough to prove his identity.

Shikamaru double-checked the letter of appointment for correctness before he untied the shackles of the shadow mimicry technique and allowed Tenzo to regain his freedom.

"I'm sorry, Senpai." Shikamaru said with a smile after untying Tenzo and throwing his ninja bag back.

"I should be the one who should apologize." Tenzo is very good at talking, or anyone, as long as he still has a little pride, and is embarrassed to play the prestige of his superiors when he escaped the death threat from Shikamaru just now, Tenzo seems to be explaining: "But this is the tradition of the dark department, don't you mind." ”

"The identities of the members of the dark department are strictly confidential, and the true identity of each team member is only known to the team leader of the detachment to which they belong, and in the detachment, the only teammate whose identity is known to each ordinary team member is the team leader." While Tenzo put the ninja bag back behind him, he said to Shikamaru: "Most actions are also carried out in detachments, and at this time, the detachment leader is generally the supreme leader who makes plans and executes them, so we need to know as much as possible whether our new members are qualified to join our detachment, after all, ninja battles are no joke." ”

Shikamaru nodded in understanding, and after obviously looking at the broken glass remaining on the floor and the overturned warm table, he asked Tenzo, "I think my employment application should be written ......, what do you think, senior?" ”

The squad leaders who came to sneak attack to check their potential were all countered, and Shikamaru had already unmistakably proved his qualifications.

Tenzo smiled dumbly and said to Shikamaru, "Of course! ”

He is not a jealous person, nor is he a narrow-minded leader, although he was a little embarrassed to be subdued by Shikamaru before, but he will not feel jealous, saying that a teammate who has good strength and has more medical ninjutsu is really reassuring, Tianzo's original idea is that if Shikamaru's performance is not too bad, let him join, after all, Shikamaru is still young, and he is a disciple of Tsunade, with extremely high potential, and it is enough to grow up after waiting for two years, but he didn't expect the other party's strength to be much better than he expected.

…………

From Tenzo's mouth, Shikamaru finally knew why Morino Hiki had kept his face black after seeing him, and why he had such a strange order.

A young man who was favored finally "got what he wanted" to do things under his hands, but in the end he knew that it was just a temporary post, even if Mori Nai Biki had a good cultivation, grievances were always inevitable, and it was relatively rare for the dark department to be suspended in the torture department, most of them should be suspended in idle units such as the Administration Department and the Ministry of Education, and Mori Nai Biki would inevitably have the intention of despising the appointment of Shikamaru to the torture department.

As for this so-called mission to capture the rebel ninja, it is actually a fictitious thing, in order to provide Tenzo with an opportunity to observe Shikamaru.

"Isn't that a bit of a big deal?" Shikamaru asked with a frown.

Now that he knew that the mission was fake, of course he would not continue to carry it out, and left a sum of money in the hotel room, so he returned to Konoha with Tenzo.

Shikamaru has always felt a little strange along the way that in order to allow Tianzo to observe his words and deeds, he also reported a separate mission, which requires the transfer of Mori Nai Biki of the torture department, and when he applies for a certificate to leave the village, he also needs the staff of the administrative department to verify the task situation, that is to say, the labor administration department, can't be said to be troublesome, but for a middle ninja, it seems that there is also some fuss, Shikamaru is not narcissistic enough to feel that Konoha Village must revolve around him.

"Is this a big deal?" Who knew that Tianzang gave him a strange look after hearing Shikamaru's words.

Shikamaru was slightly stunned when he saw Tenzo's performance, and then suddenly realized.

With the power of the whole country to support a village, ninjas can be described as an absolute elite class, and the military branches of any country in Shikamaru's previous life are almost incomparable to them.

Compared to other cities in a country, ninja villages tend to have the best education, the best medical institutions, and the most prosperous economy, in order to support the ninjas.

There are really few ninja village leaders in this world who have thought about being a daimyo, it's just that they feel that it doesn't mean much, sitting on the ninja village is enough for a country to support itself with all its might, neither need to manage a country's government affairs, nor do they need to have a headache about the huge finances, the ninja village has great freedom of action in the country, and the sand hidden village even dares to start a war with Konoha Village without informing the daimyo of the country of the wind, how can a daimyo have such freedom to advance and retreat.

Shikamaru is sure that if the Konoha Hokage and the Fire Nation Daimyo fall out and want to leave with the Konoha Ninja, how many Konoha Ninja can truly support the Daimyo who is far away and leave Konoha Village is really an easy question to guess.

Because there is none.

As long as the Hokage does not lose his heart and thinks of personally slaughtering the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and arousing the hostility of the entire Daimyo class, any Daimyo of the Kingdom will respect this powerful military force as if he were a guest, and even if the lord of the Land of Waves has the support of Konoha Village, he will be able to conquer a large area of the country in the blink of an eye.

In other words, it is not impossible for the ninja village to temporarily leave the support of a certain country, but it is absolutely impossible for a certain country to leave the support of the ninja village, unless he can soon find a force that can replace the original ninja village.

Therefore, the lord of the country of the wind has the courage to reduce the military expenses of the village of Shayin, and the village of the village has the courage to provoke a war privately, and after the incident, the daimyo of the country of the wind will wipe his ass for it, and as a result, the war breaks out, and after the situation is tense, the angry lord of the country of the wind will also increase the military expenditure of the village to prevent the war that may be caused.

Thinking about this, Shikamaru is at ease.

Such a "precious" ninja is naturally qualified to waste many resources.

…………

Shikamaru was right, and at this moment, in the flame-colored building in Konoha Village, Tsunade was sitting behind a large desk with one hand on his jaw and was looking at a letter with interest.

Next to Tsunade, Shizune Kato holds an envelope of letters, with delicate patterns and imprints on it, and even gilded lace.

"To the Konoha Ninja Village Five Hokage, Princess Tsunade." Shizune Kato looked at what was written on the envelope and said in disbelief, "This is ......." ”

With a slight smile on the corner of Tsunade's mouth, Kato replied in silence: "This is a letter from the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, hoping to make Shikamaru the captain of the Daimyo Guard of the country." ”

"Daimyo's Escort!?" Shizune Kato's eyes widened and he asked in surprise, "How could the daimyo think of letting Shikamaru take this position?" ”

"The Daimyo's family, Hideo Mita, watched Shikamaru's competition during the Nakashinobi exam, and he was very interested in Shikamaru, and after returning to the Daimyo, he recommended Shikamaru." After carefully reading the carefully worded and respectful letter, Tsunade said with a smile: "The captain of the guard sounds quite famous, but his subordinates are just ordinary soldiers, and the real elite should be the Guardian Ninja Twelve, but it may be that Daimyo and Mita Hideo feel that Shikamaru is still too young, and they fancy his potential, so they are ready to make him a member of the Twelve Warriors in the future!" ”

"Asma, is this considered to teach a subordinate to inherit his mantle?" Tsunade said with a grin: "Hideo Mita really has a good plan, is it because he sees that Shikamaru has no blood inheritance limit, so it's not good for us to refuse directly?" ”

"Are you going to let Shikamaru go?" Kato asked with a frown when he heard this.

"How is that possible?" Tsunade glanced at Shizune and replied, "Shikamaru still has Orochimaru's curse mark on his body, how can I let him go to the daimyo of my country with peace of mind." ”

"But in the end, this is sent by the Daimyo, and we have to ask Shikamaru his own wishes, we can't force it!" Kato Shizune said with a frown.

"It's okay," Tsunade showed a sly smile and said, "Tenzo should have caught up with Shikamaru, I believe this kid will not let him down, wait until Shikamaru officially joins the dark department, and after the mission, even if he learns the secret of Konoha Village, it will be good to show this letter at that time, he will not go if he knows it with affection and reason." ”

"I hope so." Kato Shizune glanced at Tsunade, sighed and said, I don't know whether Tsunade's behavior is happy or worried.

"Speaking of shadow missions." Tsunade suddenly restrained the smile on his face, and his eyes flashed: "During the Zhongnin exam, there was a situation where the officials of the Grass Country tried to intervene to affect the competition, but fortunately, the candidate stopped him and did not let his plot succeed, but this is a provocation that ignores the order of Konoha Village, and we can't expose it." ”

"It just so happens that the third generation of Hokage passed away, and I didn't return to the village in the days when the grass ninja village seemed very restless, and I want to give them and those small ninja villages who are not very restless a warning." Tsunade's expression was cold, and at this moment, he took off his frivolous expression, revealing his tough personality as Hokage: "I want to publicly execute the old man of the country of Kusa and the house in Konoha Village. ”

"I'm afraid that the country of grass and the village of grass ninja will not agree to hand it over." Kato Shizune said with a frown.

"Let Akai lead his subordinates directly to the country of grass to raise people and attract attention, and I will secretly send the third detachment of Tianzang to capture the target."

"Isn't it good to send the Shadows directly?" Kato Shizune frowned and suggested, "Akai, they will startle the snake if they go to mention it." ”

"I'm just going to scare the snake." Tsunade sneered and said, "If you don't die a few people in the Grass Ninja Village, you won't have a long memory. ”
