Chapter 18: Naruto and Shikamaru I
In the Hokage's office, Kakashi was sitting in the Hokage's seat to correct the documents, when there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Please come in...... Oh, it's Sakai!How about the students in your class?" Kakashi asked casually, stretching his waist that had not moved for a long time.
"It's ok, it's better than expected. Sakai said with a smile: "Several children are quite talented, and one of them is very interesting." ”
"Oh, let me guess, it should be...... That little ghost from the Oda family, right?"
"Hokage-sama, do you know?"
Seeing Kakashi's words, Sakai was a little surprised, just an ordinary new shinobi, I didn't expect that as the sixth generation Hokage, Kakashi would actually know such a little guy.
"Ah, it's kind of acquaintance......" Kakashi said first, and then as if he remembered something, he couldn't help but smile, "You've been on a mission all these years, and you don't know much about things in the village. That little guy was in a ninja school, but he was hung up by the school's teacher. Usually it's fine, but once he takes the actual combat class, he and the ghost in their class are staring at a child from the Jiahe family to bully. ”
"The Koga family...... Is it the ninja family whose entire family moved into the village a few years ago?"
"That's right, it's that family. ”
"This ......" Sakai hesitated for a moment and said, "The Koga family is also a family that has been handed down since ancient times, and their attainments in earth escape are no worse than those of Iwakure, if this incident makes the people of the Koga family think too much......"
"It's fine. Kakashi waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's just a battle of will between children, and it can't be put on the stage, and the patriarch of the Koga family won't make a big deal about such a trivial matter." And I also asked their teacher, and she said that the father of the child of the Jiahe family knew about it, and he thought that it was a kind of training for his child, so he did not object. ”
"If that's the case, I'm relieved. ”
"Well, don't worry, they're all very good children, and there will be no problems. ”
After comforting Sakai again, Kakashi looked at the documents on the table that had not yet been approved, rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "If there is nothing else, you can go down." By the way, the training plan will be done according to the initial formulation, of course, you can also make some adjustments according to the situation. ”
"Yes, Hokage-sama, please rest assured. ”
Sakai bowed to Kakashi, then turned and walked out the door. When he was about to go out, he suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, Hokage-sama, do you know where Shikamaru is? ”
"Oh, Shikamaru...... Naruto had just returned from outside the village, so they must have gone for a drink. ”
Kakashi said.

"Boss, two bottles of sake!"
As soon as he sat down, Naruto yelled at the boss to hurry up and serve the drink.
"I said, is it really okay for you to do this?" Shikamaru held his chin in his right hand, looked at Naruto, and asked lightly, "I noticed that you have been drinking more and more recently." ”
"Ah...... Maybe it's been too stressful lately......"
"Then you won't drag me over to have a drink with you as soon as you go back to the village?"
"When......" Naruto fell into a memory, "probably...... I guess I drank some of it that night after I met Nagato. ”
"Oh, it's Nagato......" Shikamaru flicked the ashes of his cigarette, took a puff of his cigarette, looked at the smoke ring he spit out, and muttered without saying anything.
"Two objective, your wine is here. ”
While the two were silent, the owner of the tavern brought the sake that Naruto had just ordered.
"Ha, come, drink, drink. ”
With a glass of wine in his stomach, Naruto let out a long breath.
"Hey, drink and drink, it's still the wine from this wine house in the village, it's the most pleasant to drink. ”
"That is, people have been open since the village was first established, how can there be no special place. ”
"Ahh
Shikamaru glanced at Naruto with slanted eyes and said, "Or what do you think?"
Naruto scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I don't know, I used to be a good womanizer and Grandma Tsunade every time I came here to drink, and I wanted to drink that day, so naturally I came over." ”
"Well...... Don't talk about that, what's the matter with you? Wouldn't it just be a bar?" Shikamaru didn't dwell on what Naruto said, but quickly shifted the conversation to business.
"It's about this Shinobi. ”
"What's wrong?"
"Yesterday, I saw their last grouping ......"
Before Naruto could finish speaking, Shikamaru interrupted him and said, "You're trying to say that their grouping is too extreme compared to before, right?"
"That's right!" Naruto said heavily, "Such an extreme grouping, although the combat effectiveness will be strengthened in a certain aspect, but ......"
"But their casualty rate will go up. Again, without waiting for Naruto to finish, Shikamaru said what he wanted to say. After taking a deep breath of cigarette and exhaling it for a long time, Shikamaru continued: "Actually, this kind of thing has happened before. Do you remember Ning Ci's group, aren't they just a group with physical arts as the core? Ning Ci, Xiao Li, and Tian Tian, which one is not specialized in physical arts. ”
"That's why Ningji will die!" Naruto said bitterly, "Extreme combination means extreme combat effectiveness, but this is based on the premise of losing adaptability! I don't believe you don't know this! You are irresponsible for the lives of the ninjas in the village!"
Unlike Naruto's excitement, Shikamaru just smoked silently, and in the smoke, only the sparks on the cigarette butts shone brightly and dimly.
Finally, when the last puff of spicy was swallowed into his mouth, Shikamaru extinguished the cigarette in his hand and said softly: "You are not in the staff class now, there are some things you don't know, I can't say too specific, but you should remember that document, "The Land of Fire and Konoha Hidden Village All-round Cooperation Agreement". ”
"You mean ......"
Naruto seemed to remember something, and didn't say the rest of the words.
"That's right. Shikamaru affirmed Naruto's thoughts: "The current grouping, like the reform of the education system of the ninja school six years ago, is a follow-up to this incident. Lord Six Generations is your teacher, you should know him, he has never been a cold-blooded person. ”
