Konoha: This Uchiha just wants to lie down.

Chapter 953 Conservatives: Hyuga Hinata!

"Shikamaru, Lee, Choji!"

Hinata, who greeted people, had her hair tied in a high ponytail, which made her look quite aggressive.

After escaping the fate of being the 'Crown Princess', Hinata has completely changed.

In other words, her appearance and eyes have not changed, otherwise Shikamaru would not be able to mistake the figure in front of him with confidence written all over her face for the same person as the girl who spoke timidly and blushed when she mentioned Naruto.

I have to say, Hinata's acting skills are amazing.

Back in Konoha, he kept it a secret from all of them.

"Hinata!"

Shikamaru responded in kind, but didn't say much.

The relationship is awkward now, and it is better for both of them not to communicate.

Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that what Tang Ping wanted to see was the awkward conversation between them.

With Hinata Hyuga leading the way, the team moved forward at full speed and soon arrived at a valley surrounded by hundreds of meters high stone walls.

Layers of light flowed, covering the entire valley.

Enchantment?

Shikamaru instantly realized that these lights were nothing but a layer of barrier.

What surprised him was that the speed was a little too fast.

It has only been less than a few days since the other party landed, but they have been able to set up such a large-scale barrier. It is really surprising.

Moreover, there are cannons and kunai guns on the top of the cliff, which directly turn the valley into a war fortress.

In fact, the top brass of Lieyang didn't think there was a need for this, because their strength truly crushed Akatsuki and the coalition forces.

But just in case, necessary precautions are still needed.

Preparing these now is just a waste of time and energy, and a lot of consumption.

But once it is really used, it might be able to save lives.

After entering the valley, Shikamaru was the first to look up.

Near a few crude temporary sky towers, a number of airships were suspended, blocking out the sky and the sun, almost blocking out the moonlight.

Spectacular!

These airships produced in the castle tower have always been coveted by various countries and ninja villages.

The problem is that the Lieyang Kingdom does not sell this kind of airship at all, and is even extremely cautious in its use. It is also engraved with a large number of confidentiality runes, making it impossible for major forces to copy it.

There is no other way. Even major countries can build such a large airship.

But they couldn't copy the anti-gravity barrier, chakra core, materials... and so on. They couldn't even imitate them. They could only give up imitating and choose other ideas.

In order to obtain information about these airships, the major ninja villages secretly fought with the Kingdom of the Fiery Sun countless times, but all ended in failure. They could only get some inspiration for improvements from them.

It's no wonder that Shikamaru couldn't help but take a few more glances at such an important item.

Not only him, but also people in the team such as Rock Lee and Choji, also focused their attention on it.

As for the Kirov airship?

Although all major forces knew about it, they had only heard of it and never seen it, so the shocking impact it gave people was not as great as these transport airships.

"arrive!"

Soon, the team came to a huge metal battleship, and Hyuga Hinata was the first to step onto the metal deck.

The Fiery Sun!
It is directly used as a command center.

Faced with this thing, Shikamaru didn't dare to look at it carefully, for fear of causing misunderstanding.

Because he knew how important this thing was.

There are only a few of them in the entire Lieyang Kingdom, and they rarely show up, which shows how much importance they attach to it.

After boarding the Fiery Sun, they saw a large amount of supplies piled on the deck outside, and the lights on the bridge were bright, indicating that supplies were waiting for them.

light!

It is not a rare thing of course, but it is powered by electricity converted from the chakra core of the Fiery Sun.

Soon, the group entered the command bridge.

At this time, the bridge of the Lieyang, after being arranged, became a temporary command center. It looked bright and spacious, and full of "science fiction" atmosphere.

However, there are not many people here at this time, and the total number is less than two digits.

Although most of the top leaders of Lieyang were present, a envoy like Shikamaru alone was not worthy of a high-profile reception, so only Dohei, Uchiha Mei, Uchiha Shizuka, Hyuga Sogetsu, Izumi, Naruko, Karin and others were present.

People like Yamama Koji and Uchiha Sho were sweating in the temporary training ground at this time and were not on the bridge, and Dohei would not go out of his way to find them.

Note, if you look closely, there is no one from Konoha here. At most, there is only Hyuga Hinata.

So don't worry about saying something like 'accidental injury' when you meet.

For Hinata Hyuga, she no longer considers herself a "Konoha person" after her father died, so there is no need to worry about accidentally hurting her.

Even as for Konoha, she felt that such a corrupt village must be purified by the will of the scorching sun.

Well, she is considered a 'conservative'.

Dislike the radicals for not being radical enough, but for being too conservative.

That is to say, it was because of Youtang Ping that the situation was under control. Otherwise, the Lieyang Country, under the influence of Lieyang's will, might have "purified" the ninja world long ago, and it would have been impossible for them to wait until now.

"Mr. Tang Ping, I came here on the orders of the coalition forces. I want to know why your country of Lieyang invaded the country of Lei!"

Shikamaru spoke diplomatically, "business as usual."

It is indeed diplomatic jargon.

The coalition forces knew very well why the Fiery Sun Army came, but they wanted to use this to gain the initiative.

In the ninja world, the one with the biggest fist is the one with the most power.

Therefore, even if the Lieyang Army suddenly landed, the coalition forces would not attack directly, but would first try to figure out their purpose.

Why don't you try another faction?

If some small ninja village dares to invade the Land of Lightning at this time, it will be over for the Cloud Ninjas to deal with it or not.

"I think the scenery here is nice, so I wanted to come and take a look, but there is no invasion, so don't say anything nonsense!"

Tang Ping sat on the chair specially prepared for him and replied in a playful tone.

Even though he doesn't like to talk nonsense, it doesn't mean he can't talk nonsense.

This one sentence stunned Shikamaru.

Because he really didn't expect that Tang Ping would answer like this.

Enjoy the scenery?

Who goes to see the scenery with a large army?

Shikamaru had a lot of complaints in his heart but nowhere to vent them.

And he didn't dare to expose it.

Because it's useless!

Tang Ping would not reason with him at all. He had already given the reason, and it was the same reason whether he believed it or not.

"I wonder what your purpose is besides seeing the scenery?"

Shikamaru came straight to the point.

This time he came to find out the target of the Lieyang Army. If he couldn't find out, it would be nice to gather some intelligence at the same time.

"Please tell the Five Kage that we are allies until the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki appears!"

Dou Ping was too lazy to engage in intrigue with Shikamaru and just gave him a reassurance.

As long as the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki is not born, his own Fiery Sun Army will not attack the coalition forces.

In other words!
As long as the coalition forces can deal with the Akatsuki organization, they can completely ignore them.

And given Tang Ping's strength and status, there is really no need to worry about him regretting what he said publicly.

It is indeed the best reassurance!
There is no need to worry about being stabbed in the back by the Lieyang army while fighting fiercely with the Akatsuki organization.

But... the prerequisite is that the coalition forces can win!

"Mr. Tang Ping, you seem... not optimistic about the coalition's victory?"

Shikamaru frowned and tested.

"That's right, I don't think the coalition can stop Akatsuki's plan!"

Tang Ping placed his right hand on the back of the chair to support his leaning body, and expressed his judgment in a somewhat nonchalant tone.

It’s not that the coalition forces are weak, it’s just that they have no way to prevent the birth of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

Only the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki can perform the Infinite Tsukuyomi, releasing Kaguya-sama who is sealed on the moon, and let her out to re-strengthen the seal.

This is the goal of the Six Paths Sage.

Even with Prince Naruto present, the coalition would not be able to prevent the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki from appearing.

Shikamaru did not refute or argue, but just kept this in mind and looked around the bridge carefully.

After completing official business, it is time to take care of personal matters.
