Chapter 2185 New People... (4,000 Words)

"Hey? Do you want to start with father?"

After hearing Nara Shikamaru's words and looking at Shikamaru's obviously serious face, Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji blinked and said in surprise.

How do you feel?

Although Shikamaru put on a serious face, he still wanted to deal with us?

At this time, for some unknown reason, such an idea came to their minds.

"Yes."

Nara Shikamaru said with certainty.

These two guys are doubting me...

ah!

troublesome.

And such a thought flashed through his mind.

The three of them almost grew up together, especially Choji. Although he is not very good at observing words and expressions, he is very familiar with the expressions of these two close friends. At this moment, although the two of them did not show anything special Expressions, but he could still see something from their faces.

At this time, the two people clearly felt that they were perfunctory again.

"However, neither Asuma-sensei nor my father gave any information about this person. You also said that this person is most likely a rebel ninja or a dead rebel ninja. There is some reason why it cannot be spread. , then, there should be no way for us to learn this information from Teacher Asuma or our father."

But at this time, after hearing this, Akimichi Choji, who never liked to use his brain and seemed to have a bad mind, was very witty and explained the key point in one sentence.

Yes, this is the key.

Regarding this matter, if Shikamaru's guess was followed, they would have no way of knowing the answer even if they went home and asked their elders.

In other words, valid information is collected.

Judging from his father's behavior before and the situation where Teacher Asuma was hesitant to speak, this strongest ninja was some kind of taboo and unspeakable existence. Shikamaru also said that he was even forced not to mention this character.

Then, even if they return home, they won't be able to get any news from their father.

His father was a professional and excellent ninja. How could they, with their children, get information out of things that they couldn't tell?

Although Akimichi Choji is not very good at using his brain, he is still very clear in this regard.

His father, Uncle Shikaku and Uncle Haiichi have ninja qualities.

He also listened well to Shikamaru's words.

Why?

Choji?

Hearing this sound, Yamanaka Ino looked at Choji in surprise, with a slight look of surprise on his face.

Choji, is he such a smart person?

I didn't even think of it.

Then, a thought flashed through her mind.

Obviously, when Akimichi Chouji said this, Yamanaka Ino quickly realized that this was the truth.

If the strongest ninja is a hero or a traitor as Shikamaru said, and no deeds have been passed down, then there must be a reason why it cannot be passed down. Even if his father's generation knows, they still ask Nothing comes out.

Shikamaru's idea was obviously contradictory or unfeasible.

And there was no way Shikamaru could come up with such a clumsy plan.

Of course, it was impossible for a serious Shikamaru to come up with such a clumsy plan.

In other words, their feelings were not wrong, Shikamaru was just perfunctory and casually mentioned a plan.

"stare--!"

Then, after figuring this out, with a tacit understanding, the eyes of Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji once again fell on Nara Shikamaru, staring so hard that the hair on the latter's back grew, his shoulders hunched, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. , the corners of his mouth twitched again.

This guy Choji...

Facing these two looks, Nara Shikamaru felt helpless and bitter in his heart.

Since joining Teacher Asuma's team, the active tasks during this period have allowed the two of them to grow a lot. Of course, including themselves, they have also benefited a lot. At least they have accumulated a lot of task experience. The cooperation between each other is also becoming more and more skillful.

Although it can't be compared with the previous Class 7 missions that were so spectacular in completing B-level missions, they have carried out a lot of C-level missions, and in terms of mission experience, they can only have more missions than the 7th Team.

And this mission has also given the two of them considerable knowledge and vision, and their way of thinking is more like that of ninjas.

If it were before, they wouldn't have noticed these details.

At least, the reaction won't be that quick.

Yes, they were right, this matter was not as simple as he said.

Since no deeds of this strongest ninja have been handed down, there must be something unusual about him.

No matter what, this strongest ninja is a taboo. Even if his father knows about it, he is unlikely to reveal it to him.

Choji was right.

only……

"Yes, Choji, you are right."

Thinking of this, Nara Shikamaru didn't intend to make any more excuses. He bluntly admitted the correctness of Akimichi Choji's words and said.

"Shikamaru--!"

After hearing this sentence, Akimichi Choji and Yamanaka Ino half-closed their eyes at the same time, and almost at the same time, they spoke in a long and perfunctory tone.

"But do we have any other options?"

However, it seemed that he had expected such a reaction from them. Nara Shikamaru immediately spoke after hearing the two people's lengthy and complaining words.

"Other... ways?"

When they heard Nara Shikamaru's rhetorical question, Akimichi Choji and Yamanaka Ino were stunned at the same time.

Other methods?

A way to get information about this most powerful ninja?

this……

Then, in this moment of confusion, they all suddenly understood something in their hearts.

They seem to have no other way!

Yes, there is no other way.

His father is probably the closest intelligence source to them. It's not that Shikamaru is perfunctory, but that they really have no other choice!

"Except for our relatives, we don't have any sources of information. What's more, this is still secret information. This is the strongest ninja, and it is still a taboo. The only source we can get information from is our father."

Seeing that the two of them were aware of it, Nara Shikamaru exhaled slightly and spoke.

This was the best and most efficient way he could think of, to directly or indirectly ask his father to find out some information about the strongest ninja.

After all, they were just genin, and they had just graduated from the ninja school not long ago. They were also newcomers among genin, and no one was newer than them.

The information about the strongest ninja was at a level that even their father was unwilling or unable to reveal.

With their level, it is impossible to know.

Moreover, no deeds of this strongest ninja remain, which shows that the village has done a very good job of keeping his secret.

Even ordinary people have taken quite strict confidentiality measures.

Otherwise, there will always be some stories spread from the mouths of ordinary people, and it is impossible for ordinary people in the village not to know about the reputation of the strongest ninja that spread to the enemy village.

In other words, this matter is not as simple as they imagined. In fact, this matter itself is very difficult. It is completely impossible for them to complete it as a new genin.

Even if they adopt some illegal means, it is impossible to achieve it.

First of all, with their strength, they cannot enter the archives room where confidential documents are locked.

This strongest ninja, if he exists, should be recorded, whether he is dead or alive, or a hero or a traitor.

All will be recorded.

A ninja of this strength.

As for the records, they will definitely be locked in the archives of confidential documents, which is the top priority of the entire village. With their strength, it is impossible to sneak close to it, let alone sneak into it.

Moreover, they and even all the information sources around them probably don't know where this confidential archives is.

Therefore, it is impossible to use extraordinary measures unless they are tired of living.

And normal means, as I said before, are also impossible.

The only, the only hope is that the father of the three of them has come into contact with the strongest ninja, and seems to have a good relationship with the three ninjas.

For now, that's all they can do.

Yeah?

That’s right!

It turns out that Shikamaru was not perfunctory, but that we only had this choice!

After hearing this, Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji finally understood completely.

"Okay! We got it!"

After understanding the situation, the two of them said simply, "After eating, we will go home and try to get as much information as possible from our father."

"Um!"

In response, Nara Shikamaru's expression softened slightly and he spoke.

Fortunately, these two guys have grown a lot.

Otherwise, we will be in trouble again!

And in his heart, he seemed to be relieved.

Um……

what to do? How can we obtain information from our father?

I asked before, but he didn't say anything, and it seemed like he didn't know how to say anything. If I asked about it when I got home, I would probably be taken off topic like last time.

Still, do you want to find your mother?

At this time, Nara Shikamaru felt relieved, and Akimichi Choji, who was putting roast meat into his mouth, already showed a thinking look.

Well……

How can I get my dad to talk?

drink wine?

However, my father doesn’t drink much at home, so it might not be realistic to suddenly ask him to drink.

Um……

Is there any opportunity?

Mom?

At the same time, Yamanaka Ino also showed a look of thinking, but the thoughts in his heart were somewhat similar to Akimichi Choji.

Sure enough... I should secretly take out the good wine that my father secretly hid, and then deliberately find an excuse to send my mother away.

Give Dad a chance to drink secretly.

Or, just prompt Dad to have a party with Uncle Dingzuo and Uncle Haiyi?

The three of them really had a tacit understanding. After Nara Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief, he also had similar thoughts.

"Well……"

Then, just as these thoughts flashed through their minds, Nara Shikamaru and Yamanaka Ino were stunned at the same time.

"Chouji..."

Then, after being stunned for a moment, the corners of their mouths twitched.

At this moment, looking at the chopsticks he stretched out, his expression was helpless and bitter.

On the grill, where their chopsticks pointed, there was nothing.

Then, all the beef on the plates beside the grill disappeared.

Before he knew it, Akimichi Choji had eaten all the barbecue!

"Sorry, thinking takes too much energy!"

Looking at the glances from the two of them, Akimichi Choji looked at them without changing his expression and said confidently.

Smoothly, I ate the last bite of barbecue on my plate.

The two of them were left, looking at each other speechlessly.

…

However, no matter what happened to the barbecue in the end, it is unknown whether the three of them ordered it again, or whether there was another part of the bill for the barbecue meal on credit on Asma's account.

Judging from the satisfied and smug looks of the three people walking out of the barbecue restaurant, no one cared about Asma's bill. The three of them must have reached a consensus and were all serious about exploring Asma. The past of the strongest ninja in Konoha was accidentally revealed.

Even if it was Nara Shikamaru who was afraid of trouble, even when he came out, he still had an expression of being in trouble.

From his eyes, you can see some curious brilliance.

All in all, Class 10 suddenly found an extremely important thing to do.

"Oh! Aren't these idiots Shikamaru and Choji?"

And at this time, just when they left the barbecue restaurant and were about to go to their respective homes, a familiar voice interrupted their steps.

In unison, the three of them looked back while maintaining a high degree of tacit understanding.

At this moment, the corners of Nara Shikamaru's mouth twitched immediately, and he immediately showed an expression of "here's a lot of trouble again".

"Ka-chi-ka-chi!"

At the same time, Akimichi Choji looked at the person coming and ate the potato chips he had just opened faster.

Sasuke... Sasuke!

At this time, the face of Yamanaka Ino, the only girl among the three, was already stained with a blush, her eyes were shining brightly, and her figure seemed to be about to fly away.

"Uh...well boar."

At the same time, a rather disgusting voice came from wherever the three people looked.

"Huh? Broad forehead!"

Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Ino's expression immediately changed, and he blurted out a retort.

At this moment, not far in front of them, there was standing a blond boy waving hello, a handsome black-haired boy with his hands in his pockets and an expressionless face, and a pink-haired girl with a look of disgust on her face, as if she had met a love rival. .

It's the seventh class,

Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, and Haruno Sakura.

…

"Then, I'll go back first, Li Tiantian!"

At the same time, at the gate of the village, a young man wearing a Hyuga costume with shawl hair and looking quite girlish turned around and looked at his teammates. The watermelon head with thick eyebrows The spirited young man and the girl wearing Chinese style clothes with two buns in their hair spoke.

"oh!"

In response, the boy with a watermelon head and thick eyebrows immediately nodded and responded energetically.

"Um!"

The Chinese-style girl nodded heavily, raised her hand and waved, and said, "Well, see you tomorrow, Neji!"

Then, the three boys and girls parted ways here, dragging a little bit of dust behind them.

Going back again?

that……

cage!

While walking, he looked in front of him, and the face of the handsome young man who was separated from his friends was covered with a deep haze.
