Naruto: Nara's skill set is incredibly sneaky.

Chapter 86 First Encounter with Uchiha Obito

Rope Tree is really confused about what's wrong with her older sister.

After disappearing for a while, he developed a strange sense of self-confidence.

They looked down on Chiyo and Rasa on the other side.

Every time she came back, she would say that if she wanted to, she could easily handle both of them.

If you can handle it, then go ahead and do it!

But Nawaki didn't dare to say it, after all, Tsunade really dared to hit him!

However, Rope Tree is right about one thing: Shika is really having a headache right now.

This was the first time in so many years that he had been in charge of a battlefield, and he realized that there were just too many things to deal with.

So Shikatoki had an idea and found a member of the Nara clan among those who stayed behind.

Give him all the work.

It's a good thing that young people should exercise more! You are the star of tomorrow!

That guy was so touched!

On the fifth day, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally sent someone to take over.

He is a member of the Sarutobi clan.

"Lord Shikatoki, thank you for your hard work. The Hokage has entrusted me with handling the remaining matters." Sarutobi Shiro bowed respectfully.

Lu Shi's eyes lit up. "You've finally done it. I'm leaving now."

Sarutobi Shiro quickly stopped Shikatoki, "Lord Shikatoki, the Hokage wants you to go back and report first."

Lu paused for a moment, but nodded nonetheless. "I understand, I'll be back in a bit."

After saying that, Lu Shi and Zhu Yin left with Nine Lamas.

Return to Konoha?

Don’t rush!

The most important thing right now is to have a good meal!

This simple wish has remained unfulfilled since the island tortoise was born.

"We're close to the capital of the Land of Fire, let's go get a good meal first!"

"agree!"

Nine Lamas immediately agreed.

Zhu Yin smiled gently, and went wherever Lu Shi went.

"Let's go, let's go!"

The group not only enjoyed a good meal but also soaked in a hot spring, and didn't return to Konoha Village until the next day, still feeling quite unsatisfied.

The village was somewhat desolate due to the war.

Shika walked into the Hokage's office.

The moment Hiruzen Sarutobi saw Shikatoki, his eyes shone with an unprecedented light. "Great, Shikatoki! You're finally back!"

"Lord Hokage, it's been a long time!" Shikatoki greeted him with a smile.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to exchange pleasantries.

Shikatoki then asked with a smile, "I wonder how the Hokage dealt with Shimura Danzo."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's smile froze on his face.

Shika instantly understood that Hiruzen Sarutobi had once again let Danzo Shimura go!

Hiruzen Sarutobi is just like that horse herder.

"Danzo has been imprisoned in Konoha's dungeon. I will hold him accountable after the war ends."

"That would be best!"

"Ahem, let's get down to business. Shikatoshi, Minato has gone missing."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's words made Shikatoki frown slightly.

"Minato has disappeared? When did this happen?" With Minato's strength, even if he disappeared, he could easily return with a Flying Thunder God Technique!

Hiruzen Sarutobi recounted what had happened.

The deer closed its eyes.

He left his mark in the shadow of the water gate. In the instant of perception, Lu Shi had only one feeling: far away!

Minato's location is ridiculously far from Konoha.

As for why he didn't use the Flying Thunder God Technique, Shikata didn't know.

However, what is certain is that Minato is still alive.

"Watergate is fine."

"Really?!" Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes lit up. He was never afraid of Minato's disappearance; what he feared was that Minato would be ambushed and die somewhere—that would be the worst thing.

As long as people are alive, there is hope.

"Minato is alive, so the next question is, Shikatoki, you're back. I think we can use you as a breakthrough point to end the Third Shinobi World War!"

Don't be fooled by Hiruzen Sarutobi's constant protracted battles.

In fact, Konoha also consumes a lot of resources.

We had no other choice but to fight this way before.

Now that Lu Shi has made a strong comeback, he can naturally be a bit more aggressive.

Shika smiled. Indeed, as long as the Third Shinobi World War is ended quickly, Madara Uchiha will have no chance to take advantage of the situation.

"Okay, I'll go to Sunagakure to find Tsunade first, and while I'm at it, I'll eliminate the threat posed by Sunagakure," Shikatoki replied.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's original first target was Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village).

After all, Shikatoki had just swept through Kumogakure, and if he were to fight Kumogakure again, he could make them surrender quickly.

However, Sunagakure is not bad either.

"Alright, you can rest for two days. The situation is relatively calm now, so there's no rush," Hiruzen Sarutobi said.

Shika nodded and left the Hokage's office.

He originally planned to go directly to Sunagakure, but he suddenly wanted to see Obito Uchiha.

Shika's senses spread out and he quickly found Kakashi, who was accompanied by Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara.

The team is sparring with Jonin Yama Seijin.

When Shikata arrived at the fifth training ground, Kakashi immediately spotted him and his face lit up with joy. "Teacher Yamashiro, stop for a moment!"

Shan Chengxin halted his attack.

Obito Uchiha looked at Kakashi with a puzzled expression. "Arrogant Kakashi, what's wrong with you? Are you out of energy? Don't worry, I can protect you!"

Kakashi rolled his eyes. "Idiot."

After saying that, Kakashi quickly walked up to Shikatoki, "Brother Shikatoki!"

Upon seeing the deer, Shan Chengxin immediately bowed and said, "Lord Deer."

"Hello, Jonin Yamashiro. Please forgive my intrusion," Shikatoki replied politely.

Shan Chengxin was somewhat flattered.

"No, no, it's an honor for you to come."

"Greetings, Lord Shikatoki." Nohara Rin bowed respectfully.

"Nara Shikatoki! You're the Nara Shikatoki that Brother Riku was talking about!" Uchiha Obito stared at Shikatoki with curiosity.

"Bang!"

Shan Chengxin raised his hand and struck.

"Ouch! Mr. Yamashiro, why did you hit me?!"

"How rude! How dare you address Lord Shikatoki by his given name! Standing before you is someone who made great contributions in the Second Shinobi World War, and not long ago, he single-handedly repelled several Jonin from Kumogakure, including the Third Raikage!"

Obito Uchiha nodded, looking bewildered.

He had actually heard of Nara Shikatoki, but he didn't usually pay much attention to it.

However, the name Nara Shikatoki is frequently heard from Uchiha Ryou's mouth.

Obito and Uchiha Riku played quite well.

"Alright, alright, it's nothing. They're all kids. You can call Shikashi 'Big Brother' like Kakashi does." Shikashi smiled. "I just happened to have some time this time, so I came to visit Kakashi. I'll be leaving again in a few days."

Shan Chengxin was quite sensible; he simply announced that today was a holiday and then took his leave.

"Brother Shikashi, do you know what's going on with my father?" Kakashi was a little worried. Hatake Sakumo had been on the battlefield for some time now, and there had been no news of him.

Shikatoshi comforted him, "I believe in Sakumo-senpai's strength. It's not that easy for him to get into trouble. You have to believe in your father; he's the White Fang of Konoha!"

Hearing what Shikamo said, Kakashi Hatake felt a sense of peace for some reason.

"Brother Shikatoki! Brother Shikatoki! Where are you going next?" Obito Uchiha asked curiously.

"I'm going to the Sand Village battlefield in a few days."

"Can I come with you?" Obito Uchiha asked excitedly.

Lu Shi had not yet replied.

Kakashi scoffed, "With your strength, you'd be nothing but cannon fodder on the battlefield! You haven't even awakened your Sharingan yet!"

Obito Uchiha was somewhat unconvinced. "Brother Li said I'm a late bloomer. Once I awaken my Sharingan, I'll surpass you in an instant!"

"hehe!"

"You arrogant Kakashi, just you wait!"

It looked like the two were about to start arguing.

Rin Nohara quickly stopped her, "Obito, I believe in you, but Kakashi didn't mean any harm. He's just worried about you."

"Hmph, who cares about this idiot!"

"Lin! Look at this arrogant guy!"

Looking at this scene, Lu Shi thought it was really quite impressive!

Before Obito turned evil, his personality was still acceptable.

"Stop arguing, I'll bring you some things."

The deer separated a portion of its energy and merged it into the shadows of the three people.

"What is this?" Obito asked curiously.

"If there's any danger you can't handle in the future, you can inject your chakra into your shadow. I'll be able to sense it then, and if there's enough time, it might save your lives," Shika said with a smile.

The three of them thanked them.

Shika didn't say anything more. Although he was confident that he could end the Third Shinobi World War, it was always better to have a backup plan.

Afterwards, Shikamochi and the three of them spent a day eating, drinking, and having fun in Konoha.

His generosity made Obito Uchiha have a very good impression of Shikamo, and he was almost ready to recognize him as his elder brother.
