"Hinata, what did you say?" Ino's voice also came from the carriage behind Shikamaru.

"I saw Sakura just now." Hinata has a small voice, but it is firm.

"Where?" Shikamaru frowned and entered the carriage, and Dingji gave Shikamaru a place and went out to drive.

"Just on the side of the road, she seemed to see us, and then she left......"

Shikamaru frowned a little and took the information on the side.

These two highnesses knew half a month ago that their bounty had grown to the highest of 30 million among the three highnesses because of their father's closeness!

So when he was still in the countryside, he decided to go to Konoha to issue a mission and find a Konoha ninja to escort him back.

This is the first time that Konoha has received a task related to the daimyo after the middle ninja exam, and the second highness has given enough money, if it is successfully completed, it can make Konoha a double harvest of fame and fortune.

So Tsunade immediately made a decision and let the eighth and tenth classes perform this task, so Shikamaru and the others would appear here.

In Shikamaru's hand is the information of all the people who have inquired about him in the recent period of time bought by these two highnesses on the black market, and there are more than twenty sheets.

Shikamaru flipped through them one by one, and finally stopped on a list with the word "Blood Sakura" written on it.

Blood Sakura, who debuted half a month ago, age unknown, gender unknown, bounty hunter style, good at physical arts, will use a peculiar black ninjutsu, the best record is to kill the "red ghost" Kimura Yuji, suspected of fighting with the "white sword", seriously injured the "white sword" and left.

After all, Sakura Haruno has just debuted, and the information is very concise, and the most useful information is her record.

"How's it going, Shikamaru, is it really her?" Tooth asked as he came in from outside the carriage.

"Nine times out of ten." Shikamaru scratched his head a little helplessly, this time he was in trouble.

Sakura Haruno's strength is well known to the six people here, and the solid record of killing twelve shinobi without injury in the middle ninja exam made her convince them of this year's shinobi, and she acquiesced in the status of "the strongest shinobi" mentioned by Kakashi in her heart.

Of course, it wasn't long after that they heard that Sakura Haruno had shinobi......

"I'm going to talk to Teacher Asma." Shikamaru thought for a moment, stood up and said.

Sunset Red and Asma have been getting close lately, how close, you ask?

There were six shinobi who drove them into a carriage, and then they occupied a carriage so close!

Sakura Haruno had already moved away from the convoy at this time and came to the river outside the city, not knowing that Shikamaru had already identified her and began to calculate her.

"It's not good for anyone to come, it's just these two groups, it's a real headache." Sakura Haruno sat by the river and sighed.

The tenth shift and the eighth shift, a combination of tactical ability, execution, and intelligence gathering, and two upper ninjas followed, Sakura Haruno didn't know how to start for a while.

But a headache is a headache, Sakura Haruno still doesn't plan to give up the 30 million silver taels, and she runs without even trying, it's not her style.

Anyway, it's never too late to run.

Sakura Haruno returned to the shadow space, took out a pen and paper, and began to think about countermeasures: "I definitely can't enter the city now, and I have to solve the investigation methods of the tenth class first." ”

Hinata's white eyes, toothed dogs, and Shino's bugs are all excellent detection methods.

Especially Hinata's white eyes, for Sakura Haruno, it is really a bit incomprehensible.

Turn the tiger away from the mountain.

Sakura Haruno wrote four large characters on the paper.

The other two people in the eighth class, Sakura Haruno, have a way to deal with it, only Hinata, who must deal with her white eyes, so it is necessary to transfer the tiger away from the mountain.

As long as Hinata is lured away, or directly controlled, the rest is much simpler......

Just when Sakura Haruno began to plan how to bypass Hinata, Shikamaru and the others had already arrived at the Daimyo Mansion.

According to the requirements of the mission, they have to wait here for three days, and then escort His Royal Highness back to their fiefdom before they can complete the task.

After Shikamaru reported the information about Haruno Sakura to Asma and Sunset Hong, Asma said: Then Haruno Sakura will be handed over to the six of you, don't tell me that the six of you can't leave her alone.

Then he sent Shikamaru away.

Shikamaru had no choice but to find the rest of the people to discuss countermeasures.

Knock knock~

Shikamaru knocked on the table, and there was a card for Sakura Haruno on it.

"That's probably the case, our opponent is Sakura."

Everyone was silent for a while, not knowing what to say.

Shikamaru sighed slightly when he saw this, his expression became more serious, and he spoke: "Although Sakura is our friend, she has now left Konoha and has become a bounty hunter, so now she is our enemy. ”

"If we fail the mission because we are soft on her, it will make our Konoha reputation lower again, and Hokage-sama will be held accountable by the Daimyo of Kawanokuni."

"Moreover, since Sakura dares to betray Konoha, it proves that she has come to her senses and knows that sooner or later there will be such a day, and with her character, she will definitely not show mercy to our subordinates."

Shikamaru said, his expression became more and more serious, and he said with a serious face: "So, what we have to do is to complete the task seriously, and not treat her as Sakura-chan, but treat her as a 'blood Sakura'." ”

Shikamaru rarely said so much, but he was now the only one of the six shinobi, and this time the operation to intercept Sakura Haruno was also commanded by him. Now the team is unstable, he has to say.

"Of course I do." Ya slapped the table and smiled confidently: "I've also become stronger during this time, just let Sakura see, our strongest this year won't always be her!" ”

"That's right!" Ino gritted his teeth and said with some hatred: "That bastard, she actually left without saying hello to me, and I still treat her as a sister!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the people looked over one after another, with a little surprise in their eyes, as if to say: Are you still good girlfriends? You didn't look like you were fighting for Sasuke at all.

Ino's face turned red when he was looked at by them, and he said angrily: "Look at it! ”

Shikamaru shook his head and knocked on the table to bring everyone back to their senses.

"I'll lay out the basic defensive tactics, and I'll adapt to the situation when the time comes."

When everyone heard this, they instantly fell silent and listened with serious expressions.

"Since we don't know exactly when Sakura will be back, the main job is to guard." Shikamaru said, looking at Hinata.

"Hinata."

"Yes!" Hinata responded.

Shikamaru was stunned for a moment, and smiled casually: "Don't be so serious." ”

Hinata blushed suddenly, lowered her head and whispered, "Okay...... Good. ”

"Since we're in defense, then among us, your white eyes are the most important part of dealing with Sakura, so I have a request." Shikamaru said with a serious expression, "Please don't leave the Daimyo's Mansion under any circumstances, and try not to expose it to an open place." ”

"Huh?" Hinata was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I know." ”

"Sakura-chan's Blood Inheritance Limit is very weird, and you've seen it, that Shadow Ninja seems to be able to come out of anywhere, even herself."

"But it should be conditional for her to use this method to appear, otherwise she doesn't need to disguise herself on the street, just go and kill His Royal Highness directly." Shikamaru explained, "That's why she left when she met us. ”

"If my guess is correct, her ability should be to make contact or get close to a certain distance."

With that, Shikamaru looked at Ya and Shino and said, "So, apart from Hinata, your job is to lay a reconnaissance net around the Daimyo's Mansion and always be on the lookout for anyone who enters the Daimyo's Mansion. ”

"The three of us are responsible for keeping an eye on Hinata's safety and protecting Himata."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and several people looked at each other, Shikamaru was the closest, and got up to open the door.

The door opened, and it was His Royal Highness Kayoshi Haneda standing outside the door with a sword-wielding girl in a kimono.

"Shikamaru-kun." His Royal Highness looked to be in his thirties, obese, and had a smile on his face.

"This is the "White Sword" Kiritani Momiji, who is here to help, and your teacher said that you are doing the security work in the house, so let me bring her over. Haneda Kayoshi said with a smile.

"My name is Kiriya Momiji, please advise." Kiriya Momiji bowed slightly.

"Nara Shikamaru, please advise." Shikamaru also bowed slightly and replied, and at the same time was surprised, didn't he say that this "white sword" was injured by Sakura five days ago, why did it seem that nothing had happened at all?

Also, when did I take charge of the security of the Daimyo Mansion again......

"Then, the safety of the Daimyo's Mansion will be handed over to Shikamaru-kun, and I'll leave first." Kayoshi Haneda nodded with a smile and left.

Shikamaru raised his head, glanced at Kiritani Momiji, and smiled slightly, "Please come in." ”

Subsequently, Shikamaru introduced some of them to each other before getting to the point.

"I heard that Miss Kiritani and Blood Sakura fought, I wonder if there is any information?" Shikamaru said as he glanced at the rest of the group, signaling them not to tell Sakura about it, and at the same time pushed the blood cherry blossom information card on the table to Kiritani Momiji.

Kiritani Momiji glanced at the information card, although there were more things written on it than the one she bought, but it wasn't much more, so she only added a message about fighting her.

"Blood Sakura, the gender is suspected to be male, the height is similar to mine, the physical skills are average, there is a blood limit that can manipulate black energy......" Kiritani Momiji opened his mouth to a lot, and his teeth and Ding Ci had a headache when he listened.

Shikamaru and Shino listened carefully, remembering them one by one in their minds, and at the same time corresponding to Haruno Sakura's ability, they were even more sure that Haruno Sakura was Blood Sakura. As for gender and height, Shikamaru and Shino didn't take it to heart and automatically skipped it.

After a long time, after the battle with Haruno Sakura was finished, Kiritani Momiji's expression became a little serious, and he said, "I can cooperate with you to stop Blood Sakura, but I ask to capture Blood Sakura alive and hand him over to me." ”

Shikamaru and Shino glanced at each other, Shikamaru couldn't see Shino's eyes, only saw him pushing his glasses.

"We can agree to this request, after all, our job is to guard His Royal Highness, and we don't necessarily have to kill people, as long as you can guarantee that nothing will happen after handing it over to you." Shikamaru nodded, then looked puzzled again, and asked, "There is a question I would like to ask Miss Kiritani." ”

"Please." Kiriya Momiji looked at him.

"You said that Blood Sakura has two targets, and the Second Highness is only one of them, so how do you know that she will definitely come to the Second Highness instead of looking for another target?" Shikamaru asked suspiciously.

"Because I killed another target." Kiritani Momiji said lightly.

Hinata and the others were stunned, and their eyes changed a little when they looked at the beautiful girl in front of them, this person said that killing people was so light.

Shikamaru sighed in his heart, and sure enough, as he guessed, the person Sakura provoked was not a good stubble......
