Chapter 362: The Strange Luster in the Sour Tomato Fruit
The next day, when the three of Shikamaru were told by the ninjas of Star Ninja Village to go to the backyard of the farmhouse, the three of them saw an amazing scene.
I saw that in the crater in the backyard of the farmhouse that was smashed out by meteorites, the meteorites that should have existed there disappeared without a trace, except for some scorched spots left by the debris around the pit, which were traces of meteorites that had visited.
Shikamaru's eyes widened and their faces showed surprise, no one expected that in just one day, this meteorite would disappear.
Akashi, who was standing next to him, was scolding the four ninjas who were in charge of guarding the meteorite.
"It thundered and rained last night, so the four of us went inside, but we swear no one has ever been to the farmhouse!"
"But yesterday's thunder was so loud that you probably won't hear someone breaking in and moving the meteorite, right?" At this time, one of Akashi's right-hand men asked.
The four guarding ninjas looked stupid, but they knew that they were wrong, and they couldn't refute it.
At this time, Shikamaru bent down and picked up a scorched stone from the ground at his feet, and said, "You see, the marks on this piece of soil seem to have been burned by something, but it seems to have been raining last night. ”
Being reminded by Shikamaru like this, one of the ninjas guarding had a flash of inspiration and thought of something.
"By the way, there was a lot of thunder here last night, and we all saw thunder flashing in the backyard all the time, right?"
"Yes, yes, that's right." The other ninjas chimed in.
Has the lightning been hacking the same place?
This anomaly drew a big question mark in Shikamaru's heart, but Akahoshi next to him came to a conclusion.
"I see!"
"It's those people from Yunyin Village! Lei Dun is a ninjutsu used by the people of Yunyin Village, and it can only be them! ”
"For more than ten years, Yunyin Village has been coveting the star of our Star Ninja Village, and has never given up stealing it."
"This time the new star landed in our Star Ninja Village, and the ninjas of Cloud Hidden Village found that the star was too huge for them to steal, so they used the Thunder Escape Technique to destroy the star!"
"It must be like this!"
"Abominable Cloud Hidden Village!"
Akashi's words immediately aroused the excitement of all the ninjas at the scene, and Akashi immediately issued an order to hunt down the ninja of Yunyin Village, who might still be staring at the first star nearby, and at the same time asked Shikamaru to help.
Due to the atmosphere of the scene, Shikamaru could only agree first.
Moreover, Akashi also ordered that no one in the village should be told about the destruction of the stars, and the star festival was held as usual.
The search soon began, and the ninjas of Star Ninja Village spread out in all directions, and it seemed that they would not give up until they found the ninjas of Cloud Hidden Village lurking in the territory of Bear Country.
And the three of Shikamaru did not leave the Star Ninja Village according to Akahoshi's assignment, but continued to stay in the Star Ninja Village in case someone attacked the first star.
The first star is not in the village, but in a huge crater a few hundred meters outside the village.
This crater is much larger than the one in the village, and in the center of the crater can almost build a small village.
According to the village's Shimonomi Pleiades, the meteorite exploded during its fall from the sky, causing such a huge crater to blow up the place.
However, just as the three of Shikamaru were about to approach the training ground located in the center of the crater, Pleiades did not let the three of them approach on the grounds that it was a secret in the village.
Back in the village, Shikamaru, Ino, and Akido Dingji walked the streets idlely.
"This task is really boring, only we are treated as outsiders, and nothing can be done."
Ino complained, and the snacks that Qiu Dao Ding brought when he came had already been eaten, and there were no snacks to sell outside in this small village, so he could only hold back his appetite at this time.
At this moment, Akido Dingji's eyes lit up, and he saw a tomato tree planted in someone's yard on the side of the road.
A sturdy tomato tree juts out from the bamboo fence and bears exactly three ripe tomatoes on it.
These three tomatoes are even a little outrageously large, the tomato red on them is fresh and attractive, and there are crystal clear water droplets on the surface, just by looking at them, you can know that they are very delicious.
Qiu Dao Ding Ji immediately smiled, turned three steps into two steps and stepped forward, raising his hand to pick tomatoes.
"Hey, Ding Ci, this tomato belongs to someone else, you are stealing!"
Ino reminded in a whisper while vigilantly watching around to see if anyone had noticed.
However, Qiu Dao Ding Ji didn't care about this, he jumped up and picked all three tomatoes in one go.
"It's okay, fruits grown in the countryside like this, if you pass by and are thirsty, you can pick less and taste them."
"And I didn't climb over the courtyard wall, this tomato grew outside, I just jumped up and picked it."
Akido Dingji's indifferent attitude made Ino cover his face and have nothing to say, and Shikamaru on the side did not educate Akido Dingji's behavior.
Because there are indeed such rules in the countryside, and looking at the red tomatoes in the yard, it seems that this year's tomato harvest is abundant, and the owners of these tomatoes should not lack their three tomatoes.
However, due to Ino's thin skin, the three of them changed places before they began to taste the "delicious" tomatoes.
"I'm moving!"
Akido Tsuji raised the large tomato in his hand and put the tomato into his mouth with anticipation.
Shikamaru looked at the tomato in his hand, this tomato is ridiculously large, Shikamaru has never seen such a big tomato since he was a child, he can barely grasp it with one hand, and the color of the tomato is surprisingly good, and it ripens very attractively.
For the taste of such a tomato, Shikamaru is also a little curious.
But just as Shikamaru was about to put the tomato in his mouth, there was a vomiting sound from Akido Dingji next to him.
Vomit~~
"Bah, bah, bah..."
Ino, who was also about to put the tomato in his mouth, complained: "Ding Ji, how can we eat it like this?" ”
"It's not... This tomato is so unpalatable! ”
Akido Dingji pointed to the tomato that was thrown aside after being bitten, and the tear ducts that had been activated by vomiting just now filled Akido Dingji's eyes with tears.
"How is that possible? Such a beautiful tomato..."
Ino also took a bite, but it was also a simultaneous reaction, returning the tomato in his mouth to the earth along with the tomato in his hand.
"Phew... Why is this tomato so unpalatable? ”
Both companions had the same reaction, which made Shikamaru a little suspicious of the taste of the tomato in his hand.
With the experience of the previous car, Shikamaru took a small bite, and instantly a strong taste swept Shikamaru's mouth.
It smells like vomit and rotting apples, and you can't help but want to vomit when you smell it, which is comparable to black garlic.
And the juice of this tomato is also sour and bitter, which makes people nauseous for a long time when they lick it.
"Phew..."
Shikamaru immediately spit out the tomato in his mouth, but fortunately, Shikamaru ate it in a relatively small bite, so it didn't vomit out yet.
"What? Shikamaru, is that the same with your tomato? Akido Dingji on the side asked.
"Well, almost." Shikamaru nodded a little blankly.
Ino waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'll just say, the stolen fruit won't be sweet, and we will definitely be punished by the gods if we move other people's things without permission." ”
“...”
Shikamaru glanced at the tomatoes on the ground that had been thrown away by Ino and Akido Dingji, and then looked at the tomatoes in his hands.
I saw that on the cross-section of the tomato, a faint but obvious strange floating light was faintly circulating in the juice of the tomato.
