Red Dust

The "Five Shadows Conference" and its "Quick Rescue Team" and "Sniper Team" are not exactly the same as the positions of the major Ninja villages, so it is necessary to divide the sphere of influence among them.

A sand ninja commander, with a Konoha ninja permanent secretary and a rock ninja permanent secretary, can essentially explain a lot of problems.

If they can have more right to speak, the "fast aid team" is equivalent to a strength amplifier, leveraging more interests for their own use.

Naturally, the weak Kirin, Taki who was unwilling to pay, and the isolated Yun Nin were excluded from the core.

In contrast, in the name of a formal mission, Sandyin Village asked the "quick aid team" who "do nothing" to help, which is already considered very conscientious. Not long ago, Shimura Danzo's move to forcibly requisitioned the three tails was too rough. .

The headquarters of the "Fast Rescue Team" is located in Konoha Village. In fact, Konoha Ninjas have enjoyed a lot of benefits. Sand Ninja is justifiably well-known for underground tasks. What?

Where do you need Nara Shikamaru, a "worker" who is nosy?

Since Daimaru became the leader of the "Quick Rescue Team" under the compromise of all parties, it must be tacitly accepted that Sand Shinobi enjoys the dividends of this term.

After chatting, Kuroto, who had nothing to do with him, saluted politely and left, but Nara Shikamaru thanked him gratefully.

"Some things seem to be separated by a layer of veil, which is difficult to understand. Only by clearing the fog can we see the truth..."

"Between you and me, there is no need to be too modest, just because I stand higher and see farther!"

Daimaru kindly reminded,

"Higher status, stronger strength, will let you know more truth about this world! Work hard, boy, for ninjas, a smart mind is a talent worth relying on, but not all, after I leave office in the future , you may have to serve the next commander of the 'fast rescue team'. Long-term influence brings real power, you down-to-earth clerks are the real power of the organization. The iron camp is the leader of the flowing water. , the nominal leader who came in a hurry and left in a hurry, can't control such a huge organization, the first commander Hatake Kakashi is a start-up, so it can't be generalized, the second is me, which is more special, making you all seem to be tied up everywhere , but the next leader of the 'fast rescue team' will not be so strong..."

"I probably understand!"

Nara Shikamaru at this age is indeed relatively lacking in experience, but it does not mean that his comprehension ability is poor.

As the successor of the Nara family, Hokage has no hope for the time being. The development in Konoha Village has fallen into a bottleneck. The Senju family and the Uchiha family have disappeared, and the Hyuga family is also crumbling. Butterfly" is almost the "ceiling" of the Konoha village ninja, and there is little hope for it to go further.

In the case of maintaining the current scale, the shortcut to increase influence is actually at hand.

An organization with hundreds of elite ninjas has an immeasurable number of indirect influences, and its business scope covers most of the ninja world. If it can really get a piece of the pie, or even become a worthy leader, that would be ideal.

"Have you ever thought about being a Hokage?"

"Do not make jokes……"

Nara Shikamaru laughed at himself, not because he had no confidence in himself, but because he could see clearly that although "Pig Deer Butterfly" hugged the thighs of Hokage III's Sarutobi, it was still a bit far from the core of power.

"San Ren" and their heirs are the heirs with roots and roots.

"Actually...you can also think..."

Daimaru reminded faintly,

"Your teacher, Asma Sarutobi, is the son of the third generation. The influence of the Nara family is not enough, and the Sarutobi family may not be too bad. Which one is more popular between the bloodline inheritance and the master-disciple inheritance is really hard to say..."

After the Fourth Ninja World War, Tsunade abdicated, and Hatake Kakashi became the sixth Hokage, and almost no one threatened his status.

However, due to the influence of Daimaru, Sarutobi Asma is still alive today, and it seems that he will live for a long time, and even has his own daughter soon.

Don't underestimate the trivial matter of starting a family, getting married and having children.

Those who have a permanent property have perseverance, form a happy family, and be a good husband and father, which means having the good qualities of responsibility and responsibility.

Many government organizations promote cadres, and family happiness is also an unwritten criterion.You have no parents to support you, no virtuous wife in your family, and no children to take care of you. Who knows what your character is like?If you commit a crime and run away, you don’t have much scruples, and you can’t get it back if you catch it. Who dares to pin his hopes on you?

In contrast, Hatake Kakashi, who has been single for most of his life, is far less trusted than Sarutobi Asma.

The son of the third generation of purpose and the student of the fourth generation of purpose, which one is higher, there is still a fight.

If Beard wins by luck in the end, then Shikamaru Nara, the proud disciple of Naruto's sixth generation, will naturally rise.

The son of the fourth Hokage who couldn't even pass the chunin exam, and the genius student of the sixth generation. After more than ten years, the legend of the golden glitter has faded, and the beard is still alive, and Nara Shikamaru may not have defeated Naruto Uzumaki. Chance.

Nara Shikamaru, who had been standing still for a long time for Daimaru's words, turned around and could no longer see the distant back.

"A child who grew up in Konoha Village, who doesn't want to be a Hokage? It's just that there are too many people in front of me, so I don't have much hope. But, listen to you..."

His face changed, and after a long time, Nara Shikamaru heaved a sigh of relief.

"As expected of the insidious guy who plays with everyone, after so many years, the evil taste of manipulating people has not changed. However, Asma teacher is really an entry point right in front of you. what……"

It is estimated that it is difficult for him to come out on top this time, but as Daimaru said, the position of Hokage is not someone who can play better, and who can contribute more.

Chapter 1100 Worry

When only Nara Shikamaru was left in the room, the boy who was about to pack up and leave work suddenly reacted.

"Am I being perfunctory?"

When I came to negotiate with Daimaru this time, there were actually two questions that needed to be answered.

As to whether Sandyin Village is deliberately dispatching members of the "Quick Rescue Team" to go on business in the Land of Wind, it is only one of them. What Nara Shikamaru wants to know is why the target of the mission is deliberately biased towards Sandin.

Don't prevaricate with reasons such as coincidences or differences in ability. Nara Shikamaru, who has dealt with so many organizational documents, understands that this sudden change is not simple.

The originally envisaged scene of questioning and answering with Daimaru basically didn't come in handy, and the topic went off to nowhere.

Although the conversation is still constructive and the harvest is not small, it is obvious that the original intention has been deviated.

Obviously, there are some things that Daimaru did not hide, but there are secrets in them, and he does not intend to tell others.

However, based on Nara Shikamaru's IQ, you can probably guess that Daimaru should be less optimistic about the Ninja world and the trend of Konoha Village in the next period of time.

Putting these thoughts aside for the time being, Nara Shikamaru thought about his future development.

Becoming a Hokage or something, for Nara Shikamaru, the hope is too slim.

Today's Nara Shikamaru is still a little weaker.

It is true that Hokage is not necessarily the one who can fight the most, but it must be reliable at critical moments. Even Shimura Danzo knows that when there is no way out, he will use the forbidden art, the four-image seal, just to die with Uchiha Sasuke. The intention is to Tree Leaf Village to get rid of the scourge.

Not all merits are on the battlefield, and the contribution of second-tier ninjas cannot be ignored.

The main disadvantage of Nara Shikamaru is that his "home court" is in general affairs, and it is not easy to estimate its role, and it is too easy to be overshadowed by the collective performance.

When charging on the battlefield, taking the head of an admiral in the crowd of thousands of troops, you can use the enemy's life to embellish your military medals in plain sight;

The roles of talents in logistics, support, management, and grand strategy are equally important, but they are invisible to most people.

How many documents have been issued, how many seals have been affixed, and how many grains and weapons have been transported?

"It may not be the most conspicuous one on the battlefield, but it must not be a foil throughout the whole process, otherwise it will be useless to contribute to other fields..."

Of course, the Fifth Hokage Tsunade is now in his prime, a medical ninja in his 50s, still in the afterglow of the pinnacle of his life, and it is still long before he abdicates.

……

The country of Chuan is close to a hilly area in the southwest of the country of fire, and the morning mist permeates the rainforest.

The chill of early winter has spread to the southern part of the mainland, with a strong cold water vapor, invading the heart and lungs, making people more awake.

Sasuke Uchiha, who temporarily got rid of Shigego and Ghost Shuiyue, sat on the top of the rock face with Koyamabuki after a long absence, watching the dazzling morning sun pierce through the misty clouds and project it onto this country that is undergoing great changes.

The southern coast of the Kingdom of Chuan and the Kingdom of Fire have become the territory of Sand Ninja, but fortunately, it was originally a wild and inaccessible area, and there was not much conflict.

The north was taken over by Konoha ninjas, and the "sniper team" assisted in exterminating the wandering ninjas and mountain bandits from all walks of life. The uncontrolled and outlawed land in the past has completely become history.

Of course, the name of the Kingdom of Chuan is nominally the leader of the country, but although its land area is relatively large, it is not much better than the Kingdom of Wind. The commoners here are generally not doing well, and it is a good thing for ninjas to eliminate ulterior motives.

However, this is not very friendly to Uchiha Sasuke, who is still relatively pre-exam on the reward list.

Waves of patrolling ninjas, seeing Uchiha Sasuke, a relatively easy-to-recognize handsome rebel, probably won't have a good attitude.

As a genius who can even kill Orochimaru, he is definitely not afraid, but this will undoubtedly affect the progress of Uchiha Sasuke's search for Uchiha Itachi and his revenge.

"So, you came to me to lead the way and find your brother?"

"That's it!"

Regarding the identity of the elder brother, especially the word "brother", Sasuke Uchiha is undoubtedly upset, but he cannot deny the fact.

Xiao Shanchui shook his head, folded his arms around his chest, and replied with a contented attitude, as a matter of course:

"The team of Itachi Uchiha and his partner, the persimmon ghost shark, has good strength and good stealth ability. If it is deliberately hidden, it will be difficult to find in this country..."

"I believe you have a way, I can pay the fee..."

Sasuke Uchiha, who was talking, threw out a bunch of scrolls. These things from Orochimaru are not interesting to him, but they are indeed very valuable treasures.

A pile of good things appeared out of thin air that others wanted to look at. Koyamabuki glanced casually, grabbed one or two pieces, and weighed it like he was "picking" barely usable waste from a garbage heap. In a few clicks, several scrolls were put away.

"I feel your sincerity. As for the request, it's not troublesome, but it takes time. It takes a lot of work to check the figures of two people in the vast forest..."

"I can afford to wait, but the information must be accurate!"

Even if it is close at hand, Sasuke Uchiha's desire for revenge is extremely difficult to suppress, and he still maintains a minimum of calm.

It's been so many years, so it doesn't matter if you wait a little longer.

"Well, you can wait for my good news!"

It has been a long time since Sasuke Uchiha has "sucked the wool". After dealing with him again, he has received a batch of "deposits" before he even started. Koyamabuki is also very satisfied.

"By the way, with the strength of your two 'followers', I'm afraid it won't do much for your revenge. I want to contain the persimmon ghost shark and create an opportunity for you and Uchiha Itachi to solve the grievance one-on-one. It is estimated that Difficult, do you need more 'extra' services?"

Unplanned agreements will definitely require additional money, and Sasuke Uchiha is well aware of Koyamabuki's suggestion.

With the strength of Chongwu and Guideng Shuiyue, it is still not enough to fight against the S-class betrayal. Even if the two join forces, the odds of winning are not high.

But it's just delaying time, so that the dried persimmon ghost shark has no way to support Uchiha Itachi, can this be done?

Sasuke Uchiha can't say it well either. If there is Xiang Rin, he will undoubtedly have a better grasp.

For the time being, suppressing the regret that surfaced in his heart, Sasuke Uchiha responded confidently:

"The matter of revenge, I will do it myself..."

"Ok?"

Koyamabuki glanced at Sasuke Uchiha unexpectedly, the self-confidence of this revenge boy was obviously stronger than before.

Two S-rank rebels and forbearance team up, not ordinary people can deal with.

Uchiha Itachi's own strength is already quite terrifying. Even if his physical condition is already very poor, he can still exert most of his strength, especially when he knows that his time is short, he can play without any scruples. , some forbidden techniques with huge side effects will also be used without hesitation.

In this case, Uchiha Itachi may be more difficult to deal with.

And the dried persimmon ghost shark is not a mediocre generation, can't be compared with the top group of people, it is quite powerful, the reputation of "tailless beast" is not a vain name.

It is really difficult to challenge Uchiha Itachi and Dried Persimmon Ghost Shark with Ghost Lamp Shuiyue and Shigego.

"Since you are sure, we won't have much trouble!"
