Naruto: The whole world knows I am the savior

Chapter 225 A Shattered Home, Him in Hell

Squeak! Squeak!

The sound of two footsteps hitting the floor was heard, and Nara Shikamaru turned off the TV.

Then Nara Shikadai said from outside the door, "Dad, are you awake? I need to leave early for a mission today. You can prepare breakfast yourself."

"Um."

Nara Shikamaru only answered in a low voice and then fell silent. Nara Shikadai, who was outside the door, felt that his father was acting strangely today, but he was busy with the mission and left without saying much.

After hearing the door close as Nara Shikadai left, Nara Shikamaru turned the television back on.

"I'm sure I can figure something out. Temari, where are you? I'm sure I can figure something out."

Nara Shikamaru's eyes were bloodshot. He watched the content playing on the television over and over again, his heart aching as if it were being torn apart, but he had no choice but to keep watching.

"Is Nara-san there? There's a package for you."

Suddenly, the doorbell rang and someone called from outside. Upon hearing that there was a package, Nara Shikamaru was startled. He quickly turned off the TV and ran out. After grabbing the package, he saw that it was exactly the same as the one sent last time, and it was very likely that it also contained a videotape.

"Who sent it? Tell me quickly, who sent it?"

Nara Shikamaru's eyes turned red, and a look of madness appeared on his face; as Konoha's strategist, this was the first time he had shown such anxiety and madness.

The mailman was startled and hurriedly said, "I...I don't know. These are all packages from headquarters. I'm just delivering them according to the designated locations."

"I'll go with you to the post office headquarters!"

Nara Shikamaru immediately spoke up, but then he remembered that there was a videotape that had just been delivered, which might contain information about Temari's location.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Nara Shikamaru created a shadow clone of himself using ninjutsu, then told the postman, "Take my shadow clone to investigate this matter, and hurry!"

"Ah, yes, yes."

The postman didn't dare to resist at all and quickly nodded in agreement. He then took Nara Shikamaru's shadow clone to headquarters.

As for Nara Shikamaru, he suppressed his anger and grief, returned to his room, and with trembling hands, stuffed the new videotape into the box and pressed play.

"Temari, wait for me, I will definitely rescue you!!"

Nara Shikamaru knew he couldn't act rashly, so he stared intently at the television screen with his bloodshot eyes.

He believed that he would eventually discover some clues that would lead him to Temari.

So, with great perseverance and willpower, Nara Shikamaru suppressed his anger and madness, and tried his best to analyze any possible details in the videotape.

"Temari, I will definitely save you!"

------

At this moment, the postman outside the door called out again. After hearing this, Nara Shikamaru stood there like a wooden doll for a while, before slowly walking towards the door.

Upon seeing Nara Shikamaru, the postman complained, "Nara-san, you've finally come out. This is your package; please sign for it."

A new videotape. Nara Shikamaru knew what was inside as soon as he saw the package, but after signing his name with trembling hands, he didn't dare to accept it.

"Nara-san?"

"Give me!"

Upon hearing the postman's warning, Nara Shikamaru was startled and snatched the package, then fled back to his Nara home in a disheveled state.

"This is really inexplicable."

The postman muttered something and left, but shortly after he left, Sai arrived at Nara's house and rang the doorbell a few times.

Nara Shikamaru hasn't been to the Hokage Building for over two days, and Ino has already trained Uzumaki Boruto quite well, just about to send him out for a test, but Shikamaru has disappeared first.

If Sai and the others hadn't learned from Shikadai that Shikamaru was still in Konoha, they would have thought something had happened to him.

After ringing the doorbell, Sai waited for a while, but there was no response.

Worried, Sai pushed open the door and called out, "Shikamaru? Are you inside?"

Clang!

Boom!

A crashing sound came from inside the house. Sai frowned slightly upon hearing it and quickly went inside: "Shikamaru, are you alright? Are you okay?"

Once inside, Sai quickly found Shikamaru. When he saw Nara Shikamaru, he almost thought he had mistaken him for someone else.

His unkempt appearance, covered in stubble, clearly hadn't been groomed for days, and his face was contorted with rage, as if he were about to kill someone; but Shikamaru wasn't like this before, always able to calmly devise solutions to any problem, but now...

"Shikamaru, what's wrong? What happened?"

"Sai?"

Hearing the voice beside him, Nara Shikamaru slowly turned around, saw Sai, and quickly walked over. He then grabbed Sai's clothes and knelt down: "Sai, help me find Temari. Send out all the Anbu. You must help me find Temari."

Upon hearing this, Sai immediately asked, "Temari? What happened to Temari?"

"No, no, Temari is fine, Temari is fine."

Nara Shikamaru regained some of his senses, then stood up, took a few steps back, and shook his head vigorously, saying, "I can handle this myself. You can go now, Sai."

"Shikamaru."

Sai saw that Nara Shikamaru had turned away, not wanting to say anything and not seeming capable of getting anything out of him, so he sighed silently and said in a low voice, "Shikamaru, come find me anytime if you need anything."

Sai then turned and left. Shikamaru didn't seem like someone who could discuss missions right now, so he had no choice but to leave that matter to Ino for the time being.

After Sai left, Nara Shikamaru stared with bloodshot eyes, then connected the VCR to another television in the house and, suppressing his grief, continued watching.

The next day.

The doorbell rang as expected, and Nara Shikamaru quickly came out of his house. However, when he was about to pick up the package, he suddenly realized that there was more than one person there.

"Is this Nara-san? Your computer has arrived. Where would you like to put it? We'll install it for you."

"computer?"

Nara Shikamaru quickly realized with a hint of resentment that this must have been given to him by the person who had kidnapped Temari, and that they were up to some kind of trickery.

"Come in!"

There must be information about where Temari is hidden on the computer. He will definitely crack it and find Temari.

After bringing these people into his room, he began assembling the computers, and after the computers were assembled, the delivery person also connected the network.

"Alright, Nara-san, the computer has been installed as requested. If there's nothing else, we'll be going now."

After the deliveryman finished speaking, he said goodbye and left.

Once everyone left, Nara Shikamaru went to the computer, suppressing his grief and anger, and began to study it carefully.

Nara Shikamaru quickly found a software program on the computer. Computers were now widely available in Konoha, so he wasn't unfamiliar with them; this software was clearly designed for him, its name even more explicit than "Real-time Monitoring of Lady Nara."

"Temari."

"hateful!!"

"Damn it! Where is it? There must be some information I haven't noticed!"

"Where is she? Where is the information about Temari?!"

Looking at Temari, Nara Shikamaru felt as if his heart was being torn apart; however, he carefully examined every part of the scene but couldn't find any clues about Temari.

"Damn it!!! Where the hell is this? Where are the clues to Temari?"

Nara Shikamaru raised his fist high, his face contorted with rage, wishing he could smash the computer to pieces, but he dared not, because this might be the last way to find Temari.

If even this is gone, Nara Shikamaru doesn't know if he'll ever see Temari again.

Nara Shikamaru suddenly opened his eyes, a cold light flashing in them, and a deep-seated anger rising in his heart.

His voice became low and hoarse, filled with complex emotions, like the roar of a wild beast. His expressions and movements seemed to tell of his inner pain and sorrow, and his whole being exuded an indescribable heaviness and despair.

------

After boarding the Thunder Chariot, Temari quickly arrived in Konoha and then headed towards the Nara family.

When she returned, it was still morning. Temari gently opened the door and found that no one seemed to be home. She thought that Shikadai should be on a mission, while Shikamaru might be at the Hokage Building.

Temari decided to take a bath first, so she took off her shoes and headed to the bathroom.

However, as they passed the main room, the sliding door was suddenly opened, startling Temari who quickly turned around to look at the main room.

The room was very dark, and in the center of the main room sat a person. Temari immediately recognized him as Nara Shikamaru. Feeling guilty and frightened, Temari asked with a rapidly beating heart, "Shikamaru, what are you doing here?"

"Temari, you're back."

"Oh right, I'm back. Didn't Lu Dai tell you? I went back to the Land of Wind."

"Oh, Lu Dai said it, he said it."

"Well, Shikamaru, I'm going to take a shower now. I'm a bit dusty from the journey back."

"Then go ahead!"

After Shikamaru finished speaking calmly, Temari went to the bathroom.

A short while later, hearing the sound of rushing water coming from inside, Nara Shikamaru suddenly laughed intermittently, then let out a loud roar of "Aaaaaah!!" and got up to smash the VCR, television, videotapes, and computer in the main room.

Bang! Thud! Thud!

Nara Shikamaru was smashing things like a madman, and Temari couldn't possibly be unaware of the commotion. However, after seeing the videotape that had been reduced to pieces, she suddenly felt guilty and dared not go in. In the end, she could only lean against the wall outside the main room and silently shed tears.

Nara Shikamaru, exhausted from all the tumbling and smashing, lay down on the ground and soon passed out.

Nara Shikamaru tried to take a deep breath to calm himself down, but the trauma in his heart was like an indelible mark that he could not let go of. His eyes gradually became empty and unfocused, making it difficult to discern his true emotions.

At this moment, Nara Shikamaru felt like he was on an isolated island, surrounded by the pain of betrayal, unable to escape.

He hadn't slept for more than five days, and the combined worry and anger of those five days had pushed him to his limit.

[Her hands moved with lightning speed, like a dancer frantically carrying Nara Shikamaru towards the hospital. His eyes were fixed on the road ahead, as if praying that time would pass quickly. Every step was hurried and anxious, as if time itself were a sharp, piercing knife, urging him to reach their destination as fast as possible. Listening to her own heartbeat and Nara Shikamaru's shallow breathing, Temari kept swallowing hard, as if trying to muster more courage. His arms were tightly around Nara Shikamaru, feeling her warmth; anxiety and worry were deeply etched on his face.]

On the way to the hospital, Temari was restless, her brows furrowed, as if pondering what might happen there. She looked unusually anxious, occasionally gently stroking Nara Shikamaru's back with her arm. Although the sunlight shone on them, she felt a chill rise up her spine.

Unconsciously, Temari's breathing quickened, and she swallowed repeatedly, as if trying to control her inner unease. She appeared increasingly anxious, her eyes revealing an undisguised worry. Finally, Temari rushed to the hospital with Nara Shikamaru, his face showing an unusual anxiety and exhaustion. It was as if the entire world consisted only of him and Nara Shikamaru, and everything revolved around her safety.

Temari watched helplessly as Nara Shikamaru rushed towards the hospital. Her expression grave, she reached out her hands, trying to stop him. Her eyes were filled with worry and helplessness, her lips slightly pursed, as if she wanted to say something but stopped, everything seeming to rush by. Her steps were hurried and steady, like a startled fawn, her slightly trembling arms waving aimlessly, as if trying to grasp at fleeting time. A crisp breath escaped her lips, revealing her inner anxiety and helplessness; an overwhelming surge of emotions welled up within her. She looked incredibly flustered, even her breathing seemed heavy, a sense of urgency lingering in her voice.

The moment they arrived at the hospital, Temari cried out for help, overwhelmed by her emotions. She stood there, sweating and crying, drawing everyone's attention. In this chaotic and unsettling moment, her cries even offered a glimmer of hope, seemingly offering some relief. Despite the immense pressure and uncertain future, Temari steadfastly held her ground, controlling Shikamaru's fate. Her voice, though trembling, was filled with determination and resolve, as if giving Shikamaru all the strength and courage he needed.
