Hearing Shikamaru's words, Naruto didn't say anything, just drank the sake in the cup again. Shikamaru didn't explain more, just lit a cigarette and continued to put it in his mouth.

After a long time, Naruto raised his head and said, "When I came back, I passed by the third training ground and saw Sakai, who brought three students this year?"

"Well, he's also the leader of the class this year. Seemingly aware of what Naruto wanted to ask, Shikamaru continued, "The training direction of the team he leads is tracking, assassinating, and obtaining information. ”

Remembering that Sakai was from the "root" organization of the dark department, Naruto nodded, "This is quite suitable for him." What about you? If I'm not mistaken, you're also the leader of this year's class, right? Could it be that there are three commanders this year to bring you seedlings?"

"Are you thinking too much, where to find so many students who are talented in commanding? ”

"What's that, according to your distribution model, you must be outstanding in some aspect. I can't think of anything you're good at other than directing. Speaking of this, Naruto suddenly laughed and said, "Could it be your iconic broom head?"

With a cold snort, Shikamaru expressed full disdain for Naruto's bad taste, "It's balance. The three students I took with me have good talents in ninjutsu, illusion, and physical arts, and they are also good at cooperating with people. So, this group is the most balanced. With sufficient analytical reasoning, they can ensure that there is more than one way to deal with the situation, no matter what the situation is. ”

"Balanced ......" Naruto frowned, "Do you think this is okay? Compared to other groups, the probability of survival with such a combination is much higher." It's not appropriate. ”

"On the contrary, it is the most appropriate allocation. Shikamaru retorted, "I'll tell you a story." There used to be a jungle where there was a tribe in the jungle, and every day, the warriors of the tribe had to go to the jungle in search of food. The jungle is full of dangers, whether it is a beast or a swamp, it will bring fatal damage to the warrior. Do you know who has the highest chance of surviving for a long time?"

Without waiting for Naruto to answer, Shikamaru continued, "There are two kinds of people who are most likely to survive, one is someone who knows everything, and such a person will not be helpless no matter what situation he encounters. And the reason for the death of such people is either that the things they have encountered are beyond their capabilities, or they have chosen the wrong method.

The other kind of person is a person who is extremely capable in a certain area. Such people, as long as they do not set foot in those areas that they are not familiar with, can often come back alive from the jungle, because their ability is enough to deal with all the problems in the jungle, in the areas they are familiar with. ”

Speaking of this, Shikamaru took a sip of sake, moistened his throat, and concluded, "The balance is extreme, but it's just the other extreme. ”

After listening to Shikamaru's story, Naruto thought for a moment and said, "You plan to dispatch the team you led for an ordinary, purposeless, and general mission, and when you encounter a special, purposeful, and professional mission, dispatch the relevant team?"

"It can also be that the team I lead will play the front station, and then decide which team to send based on the feedback back. Shikamaru added.

"Such a model, really...... Will it work?"

"It's not certain yet, everything is still unknown, from the reform of the school's education system to the current grouping, everything needs to go through actual combat before the final judgment can be made. ”

"Actual combat ......" Naruto chewed on the word, and there was an indescribable pain in his heart.

The current ninja world is like a calm lake, although it looks calm, but I don't know how many undercurrents are surging underneath. As a last resort, the village made a series of reforms. Now, the results will be seen soon, six years of waiting, six years of preparation, just for this day, if the reform is successful, this will undoubtedly greatly enhance the strength of the village.

But having repeatedly tasted the word "actual combat", Naruto would rather that day never came. Because actual combat means the withering of the flower of life.

Shaking his head and expelling the thoughts from his mind, Naruto gave up this senseless sadness and changed the subject instead: "The three students that Sakai brought with me, I saw a silver-haired child inside, who is it? It can't be related to Kakashi-sensei, right?"

"Silver-haired?" Shikamaru recalled for a moment and said, "The man you said is called Oni Baicha, who was brought back from outside the village when he was a child, and if I remember correctly, the orphan, when he was found, he was the only one left in the village." ”

"I see, I'll just say, when will Kakashi-sensei still have a child......" Speaking of this, Naruto's mood was a little low again, and he said while sipping the sake in the glass, "Speaking of which...... After what happened last time, I thought the world would be peaceful. After all, even the tailed beasts quieted down, but I didn't expect ...... There will still be orphans. ”

"How is it possible, there will be a struggle if there are people, and once the rise of the struggle becomes a war, death is inevitable, and how can there be fewer orphans. ”

"War...... War...... Is there no way to end the war?" Naruto asked, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes, hoping that the clever guy in front of him would give him an answer.

"Nope. ”

But it's a pity that Shikamaru's flat voice brutally pulled Naruto back to reality.

Shaking the bottle in his hand and swallowing the last drop of liquid inside, Naruto lay on the table, a deep voice coming out of his mouth, "I've been thinking about a question all this time. Since the Tailed Beast was able to cause a war before, can the Tailed Beast stop the war now?"

"What are you going to do?" Under the influence of nicotine, Shikamaru's voice had an indescribable distantness: "Treat the tailed beast as a strategic deterrent? What is the difference between that and the beginning? No one dares to move, but there will definitely be no less action in private." Or is it to show the powerful strength of the tailed beast to deter people with ulterior motives? It's useless, there are always some careerists who are not afraid of death, and they don't care about this at all. Or are you going to kill one of the people who started the war? Well, that's a good way to do it, because if there is no one, there will be no war. ”

Seeing that Naruto ignored him, Shikamaru said to himself: "Actually, if you really want to put an end to war, don't you think 'Infinite Moon Reading' is a good way? Let everyone live in a beautiful fantasy, without pain, without suffering, and meet all the demands of people, in this case, there should be no war." ”

Laughing softly, Shikamaru scolded, "But can that fucking be called alive." ”
