Chapter 268 Choice

"I'll go with you." After snorting for a while, Xiang Phosphorus lifted his glasses in a bit of a panic and said to Shikamaru, "It's just that what about the prisoners here?" โ€

"How many ninjas are there?" Shikamaru asked rhetorically.

"Not much, they're all locked up in the dungeon alone, separate from the ordinary prisoners." Xiang Phosphorus quickly responded, and it seemed that the information in the stronghold was well known.

"Let's go with me and let go of the ordinary prisoners first." Shikamaru turned and walked out of the room, and at the same time commanded Kao-do.

A hint of struggle flashed in Kamo's eyes, but reason told her that no matter what Shikamaru's attitude was, she had no chance to disobey or even escape, so she grabbed the key by the door and quickly caught up with Shikamaru's figure.

These prisoners trapped in the southern stronghold are just the material of the real yร n for Orochimaru, or the cheapest one, the living conditions of the bars life are extremely poor, and the day is precarious, I don't know when the big snake pill whims, need to be a human body, their lives will end.

Despair and despair wore through the hearts of these people, most of them had lost their sparkle in their eyes, and the sound of Shikamaru and Kaori walking into the corridor only attracted a few prisoners to turn their heads, while others were like statues in their own world, unable to extricate themselves.

Xiang Phosphorus also wanted to step forward and use the key to open the door lock, but Shikamaru condensed the chakra to form a blade, and with a slight stroke on the wooden fence, the gate had already been cut open, and the thick wooden fence smashed on the ground with a loud noise, which finally attracted the attention of all the prisoners.

"You're free." Shikamaru said calmly, but the prisoners still looked at each other and hesitated, as if there was something terrible outside the cage.

"Orochimaru was killed by me, you can rest assured." Shikamaru explained unhurriedly: "You can leave the country of Ta, or you can continue to stay here, but from today onwards, the country of Ta will be controlled by me, do you understand?" โ€

After Shikamaru finished speaking, he broke down the doors of several cells one after another, and then ignored these hesitant prisoners, and left with Xiang Phosphorus on his own.

Most of these people are adults with their own formed values, and the young ones have been taken away by Orochimaru, Shikamaru has no interest in accepting and cultivating them, and it is best to leave the country of Tian, but to stay here, you must also obey his will.

No one in the territory of Tanokuni is exempt, especially those ninjas or samurai who are self-reliant.

Most of the ninjas imprisoned by Orochimaru are just ordinary middle ninjas, and there are not even a few upper ninjas, and Shikamaru can't look down on them, originally he was going to kill all these ninjas, but after thinking about it for a while, he decided to let some people go and help him spread the news.

Compared to the cells where ordinary prisoners are located, the dungeon is located deeper underground, and the dungeon where ninjas are held is obviously more fortunate, and as far as Xiang Pho said, the walls of the room here are blocked by steel plates, and ninjas who are proficient in earth escape art cannot escape from it.

"Which ninja village is this?" Shikamaru walked down the stairs to the first iron door, looked through the small window at the young man with the anklet chained inside, and asked Kaori without looking back.

"This is a native ninja of Tanokuni." After thinking about it, Xiang Phosphorus gave the answer.

"How many ninjas are there in the five ninja villages?" Shikamaru frowned slightly when he heard this, and continued to ask.

"Four." Xiang Phosphorus quickly replied, "Two Yan Yin, one Yun Yin, and one Sha Yin, are all Zhongnin, and they are in rooms four, seven, nine, and ten. โ€

Shikamaru groaned and nodded, and suddenly used the spiral pill to break the door, and before the ninja in the cell had time to react, he used "Black Magic. A Thousand Illusions" changed, and a sharp blade stabbed him in the throat.

The sudden change made Xiang Phosphorus feel at a loss, and it wasn't until a pool of blood had formed under the young ninja's corpse that he reacted and asked Shikamaru, "What are you doing!?" โ€

"Kill." Shikamaru replied briefly, and at the same time walked to the next iron gate, and killed the prisoners inside, these ninjas who had been imprisoned for a long time fell into a trough both in their will and body, and they were naturally not Shikamaru's opponents, but after a while, except for the four ninjas from the five major ninja villages who were pointed out by Xiang Phosphorus, the rest of the ninjas were killed by Shikamaru one by one, and blood flowed out of the prison cell, converging between the corridors, making people feel cold all over their bodies.

Click!

A crisp popping sound of the door lock popping open from the dungeon, but this time Shikamaru opened the iron door and did not go in to kill the ninja imprisoned inside.

"Come out!" After Shikamaru opened the four iron doors one after another with the key, he saw that the people inside were still hesitant and did not dare to push open the iron door, so he said loudly.

The mental state of these ninjas is not much better than the ordinary prisoners that Shikamaru has seen before, and in the face of Orochimaru, these ninjas with strength far beyond ordinary people are just better practical materials, and when faced with irresistible powers, their reactions are only slightly stronger than ordinary people.

There was silence in the dungeon for a moment, and the four iron doors were finally slowly pushed open from the inside, but when one of the iron doors was opened, a figure suddenly burst out of it, and came to the Yongdao with both hands sealed, and was ready to perform ninjutsu.

"Black magic. Absolutely loud! โ€

It's a pity that this person's sealing technique is only halfway through, and Shikamaru has already rushed to him like a whirlwind, the stone floor has even shattered in front of the force coming from under his feet, and the spiritual energy on his right arm has condensed into a long blade with arcs.

Laugh at!

The sound of flesh and bones tearing that made people's scalps tingle followed, and the other three ninjas who pushed open the iron door and walked into the corridor immediately ate Shikamaru and slapped Ma Wei, and the ninja who was not able to measure himself had a chance to see freedom again, and was killed by Shikamaru in front of the prison door.

"The reason why you weren't killed by me like the other prisoners is simply because you're of some use to me." Shikamaru took two steps back, avoiding the blood flowing from under the deceased, and said in a cold voice to the three pale ninjas, "You are free, but this qiฤ“ has a prerequisite." โ€

"I want you to leave the country of Tian without stopping, and at the same time tell the outside world what you said." Shikamaru looked around at the three ninjas in turn, and said word by word: "From now on, no ninja is allowed to set foot in the land of Tano, including Konoha, Sand Hide, Cloud Hide, Iwa Hide, and Mist Hide, if anyone dares to disobey, I, Nara Shikamaru, will cut off their heads and throw their corpses into the wilderness!" โ€

"I do what I say." Shikamaru Moriran smiled, his tone cold.

โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ

"What the hell are you going to do!?" Within the spiritual space, the eight-tailed bull swung his huge fist and smashed at the demon that Shikamaru had changed, and at the same time asked in a loud voice, "Are you going to provoke the five ninja villages at the same time?" โ€

After the matter of the southern stronghold was settled, Shikamaru rushed to the Northern Secret Research Institute where Shigego Tengaku was located with Kazo, and in the gap between resting on the road, Shikamaru began to meditate and began to fight against the bull again.

This kind of battle has lasted for a long time, so many times that the Hummer can't remember it clearly, and now it seems to have gradually become Shikamaru's habit, as long as the two meet, the Hummer knows that it is the moment to restart the battle, it has never won, but it can't be killed by Shikamaru, after a long time, and even gradually feel numb, the battle has changed from a wordless fight, gradually changed to an occasional conversation now.

"Any country and ninja village seeking to rise, need to seize dignity on the battlefield, today's five major ninja villages, as well as those small ninja villages with a thin reputation, all have a powerful head at the beginning of their establishment, and they crisscross the battlefield with a peerless appearance." Shikamaru replied, "Unless Gokageken comes in person at the risk of the emptiness of the base camp, no matter how many ninjas come, it will only allow me to add a touch to my honor book." โ€

"But you're talking about 'Ninja Village'," although the eight-tailed bull is sealed in Shikamaru's body, he can also perceive some information from the outside world through him, and Shikamaru can't hide what Shikamaru has done, "You are slaughtering and expelling the ninjas of this country, and you don't really plan to establish a ninja village, are you ready to control this country on your own, even that Orochimaru is just using the resources here, what is your purpose!?" โ€

Bang!

The bull didn't notice for a while, and was grabbed by Shikamaru's horns, and his head was pressed to the ground by Shikamaru.

"Give me all your power, surrender to me, and I will sue you for the answer." Shikamaru dodged the struggling hands and tail of the bull, and said in a deep voice, "I will lead you to a realm unimaginable to the six immortals, and I will become a ......, god!" โ€

The bull was slightly stunned, and then violently struggled to get out of Shikamaru's hands, looked at him and said, "You're crazy! โ€

"True ninjas are indeed like crazy people in the eyes of outsiders, they can't understand their ninja ways, and they can't believe that there is another person in the world who can be so committed to their ideals." Shikamaru didn't chase after hearing this, smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically: "You say I'm crazy, but it's because you never knew me, my ninja, my ideals." โ€

"My initial ambition was to become a teacher and teach and educate people, but as I got older, it was contrary to my desire to get ahead and become a master, so I chose a more utilitarian path." Hummer listened quietly, and Shikamaru paused as he spoke.

In his previous life, he came from a poor mountainous area, his mother who was abducted by human traffickers committed suicide in his infancy, his adoptive father treated him harshly and harshly, and he still couldn't speak when he was six years old, and he was discriminated against and insulted, until the arrival of a volunteer teacher, which also made him fantasize about becoming a teacher, but when he stepped into the metropolis, experienced a series of events, and as he grew older, he finally chose a more utilitarian path, but in his previous life, he would not talk about it in detail with the bull.

"I have seen civilians who are full of enthusiasm until they are smoothed out by reality, I have also seen people at the bottom who have abandoned their dignity because of hardship, I have seen 'people' who have no hope so that they have never had ideals, and only have the instinct to seek business and satisfy their stomachs, and I have also met lucky people who are born rich and noble, and people who feel superior to others, and even once became one of them."

"I realized this, and I was confused and apprehensive, because I knew that I had been one of those people who had been ridiculed and bullied, but I was much luckier than them to have such a chance, but even so, it was still a sacrifice that ordinary people would have unimagined." Shikamaru laughed to himself, "I have a strong anger and indignation from this, jealousy and the desire to destroy miรจ almost destroy my reason, I want to destroy this system, and I firmly believe that I am righteous with this thought." โ€

"But then I realized that it is not enough to destroy me, I am just a thug, an executioner, how can I say justice?" Shikamaru continued, "I must establish a new system to replace it, so that the act of overthrowing corruption does not turn into a murderous atrocity. โ€

"But there is no perfect system in this world, only a relatively excellent and perfect system, human beings are progressing, society is progressing, the world is changing, and the same is true of the system." Shikamaru said, in ancient times, killing cattle was a big crime, and many religions also noted the responsibility of killing cattle, and even worshiped cattle as gods, because of agricultural civilization, the importance of cattle to food is difficult to replace, but in the era of industrial development, it is obviously not practical, but it has become a burden, "After the death of the six immortals, the troubled times gradually rose, and the original Hokage Thousand Hands Pillar distributed the tailed beasts in anticipation of forming a peaceful situation, and after the death, the ninja world set off another mode of war...... how can I ensure that after my death, I will take over the people who make the rules and systems, Won't it be because of selfish desires and loopholes that I am committed to destroying? Who can supervise them, before the appearance of ninjas, people's anger and resistance can still make people vigilant and afraid, after the appearance of ninjas, no matter how many ordinary people have no chance to fight, how far can the supervision power of civilians go? โ€

"At last I came to the answer - I must be the guardian of the system I have created, a supreme overseer, and people must believe in me, respect me, fear me, and make me a sword hanging over their heads." Shikamaru summed up in a deep voice: "I must become a god!" โ€

Even the Eight-Tailed Bull still felt an indescribable shock after hearing Shikamaru's remarks, and he was stunned for a long time before he asked, "You have raised yourself to the supreme position, so who can stop you from doing anything wrong!?" โ€

"Don't you understand?" Shikamaru smiled indifferently and said softly: "When I first changed the purpose of my life, was not ready to become a teacher, and decided to get ahead, what I abandoned was the enthusiasm to repay my benefactor, and the emotion of watching the smiling faces of children - there is never a perfect choice in this world, I can't tell which is right and which is wrong, the difference is just what I choose to sacrifice." โ€

"What do you choose to sacrifice!?" Humkey asked.

Shikamaru smiled when he heard this, raised his hand and pointed to his chest, and replied, "Feelings." โ€

He wants to become a god, to become the supreme overseer and guardian rather than enslaved, he must ensure that he will not be swayed by selfish desires, in some myths in the previous life, the difference between gods and demons is that even if the gods have far more power than humans, they will still not disturb the mortal world, but demons will rely on their own power to do evil.

The difference between becoming a "god" or a "demon" is Shikamaru's choice of what to sacrifice, and the bull is silent about his choice, feeling a little sad, but for Shikamaru himself, these seem to be nothing compared to sacrificing ideals and ninja.

It may be difficult for him to smile from the bottom of his heart, but if he can make hundreds of millions of people smile in the dark, he will be satisfied.
