Sunshine Sasuke, from the forum to the strongest in the ninja world

"If Sunagakure and Kirigakure can handle their relationship well, or even reach a peace agreement, they can jointly decide to sell out Konoha's interests.

“This situation will probably be even more terrifying.

“All of the above situations are theoretically possible.

"Is it right?"

Uchiha Sasuke looked directly into Shikamaru's eyes and asked seriously.

“So, it’s the worst option.”

On this side, Nara Shikamaru felt at ease.

He looked back at Uchiha Sasuke and explained seriously:

“But whether to adopt this plan.

“It depends on how we judge the external pressure at the moment.

“If, considering that war could happen at any time.

“Then this is one of the quickest solutions.

“You know, the existence of external enemy threats will greatly promote internal unity.”

Hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke nodded in approval and continued:

“However, in order to avoid the above negative situation.

"We believe that before the remnants of Kirigakure head to Sunagakure, we should send an envoy to the Sunagakure side.

"This envoy will represent the interests of Konoha and mediate between the various forces.

“Considering the complexity of the situation, this candidate must have sufficient wisdom and judgment to cope with the challenges at that time.

“In terms of difficulty, if you want to do this job well, I’m afraid it will be much more difficult than being a Wind Shadow in public.

“Therefore, the mission rating for this time is,

"Super S-level mission."

".!"

Hearing this, Nara Shikamaru couldn't help but be shocked.

Afterwards, his mood became very complicated.

Because he had roughly guessed what the other party would say next.

as predicted.

On the other side, Jiraiya, who was sitting behind the Hokage's desk, cleared his throat, took over Uchiha Sasuke's words, and continued:

"Looking at the entire Konoha, there is no one who can handle this task.

"I'm afraid that's just you."

Jiraiya paused for a moment, and seeing that Nara Shikamaru did not respond, he continued:

“This is a very independent task.

"When wandering abroad, the personal will of the envoy will play an irreplaceable and important role.

“Many times, the only thing that holds you back is your personal beliefs.

“With no one around to talk to, you can only rely on yourself when dealing with crisis situations.

“You have to remember that in this chaos, your position will be irreplaceable.

"Correspondingly, your life is extremely precious to us.

"If you think it is necessary, you can even do something bad and create a face that is against Konoha.

"In short, everything can be flexible. However,"

Jiraiya paused, and with a dignified look on his face, he spoke word by word:

"Your stance towards Konoha must not change."

Everything happened so fast.

Jiraiya's voice entered Nara Shikamaru's ears and immediately turned into a rumbling sound of the wind.

It seemed that the yellow sand of Sand Village thousands of miles away, mixed with the smell of Temari, had blown into Shikamaru's heart along with these words.

A few days ago, Shikamaru was still worried that Temari would marry someone else.

But in the blink of an eye, as Jiraiya finished his story, he had already arrived at the center of the vortex.

At this time, seeing that Jiraiya had finished speaking, Nara Shikamaru gradually came back to his senses.

He spoke with some difficulty:

"Can

"But, my Nara clan still has many things that need my care and attention."

"Yes, the Nara clan."

Jiraiya nodded silently.

He looked at Shikamaru meaningfully and said calmly:

"So, you must come back safely."

".!"

Shikamaru was stunned for a moment, then he immediately understood what the Hokage meant.

When it comes to matters like this, Konoha's stance towards the Konoha has always been more than just talk.

As long as the Nara clan is still in Konoha, it is impossible for him to have any second thoughts.

In this case, as the head of the Nara clan, I am indeed the most suitable candidate.

Shikamaru turned his head and looked at Uchiha Sasuke beside him.

The latter seemed to be ashamed, lowered his head, and refused to meet Shikamaru's eyes.

This guy

Shikamaru chuckled, bowed to the Hokage, and said loudly:

"I see.

"As ninjas, loyalty is always our first priority.

"For the sake of peace in the ninja world, I am willing to take on this mission.

“I’ll go back and prepare for the handover.

“If any difficulties arise in the tribe while I am away from the village.

"Please, Hokage, take care of me."

"That's natural."

Jiraiya sighed inwardly, silently chewing on Shikamaru's answer.

What this kid said was not for the peace of Konoha.

But it is the peace of the "Ninja World".

Nara Shikaku's face flashed through Jiraiya's mind.

He just nodded silently and said seriously:

"The Nara clan.

"You will always be an indispensable and important pillar of Konoha."

Shikaku, you gave birth to a good son.

Jiraiya looked deeply at the young man in front of him, and felt more and more that he was not alone.

Here, Nara Shikamaru was about to say goodbye and leave.

On the side, Jiraiya called him again.

The Hokage no longer had a stern face, but grinned again and said:

"Of course, we won't let you go to the Sand Village unarmed.

“If the two sides have established a dual leadership core, and you are just an envoy.

"It's a bit too difficult to be caught in the middle."

"So, what do you mean?"

Nara Shikamaru's heart moved, wondering what arrangements the Hokage had made.

"At least you have to get a position as a cabinet advisor, right?"

Here, the smile on Hokage's face became even wider.

Shikamaru didn't understand what was going on. He thought about it seriously for a moment, frowned, and said:

"If this is the case, I am afraid it will add too much unnecessary negotiation costs.

"The key to this mission is to act according to circumstances and mediate.

"The role of cabinet adviser is helpful in this matter, but it is not absolutely core.

"Considering the cost, I think it's better not to make it complicated."

"You have a point."

On this side, Jiraiya pretended to be serious, but couldn't help but laugh and said:

"Therefore, I think that compared to being an advisor, the position of 'Minister of Pillow Wind' of Lord Kazekage may be more suitable for you."

"Who?"

Nara Shikamaru was stunned.

This time, he was really completely confused and had no idea what the Hokage was talking about.

"Tell him!"
