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

On the opposite side, Jiraiya threw his head back and laughed, then spoke to Uchiha Sasuke who was standing beside him, looking extremely happy.

On this side, Uchiha Sasuke was also smiling.

He informed Nara Shikamaru who was standing by the side of him about the plan he had discussed with Master Gama:

"Well, in order to increase your say in the Sand Village.

"It is now decided that Konoha will stop at nothing to ensure your marriage to Temari!"

"What?!

"Finish the marriage?!"

Upon hearing the news, Nara Shikamaru was shocked and his heart began to pound.

"Pay attention, at all costs."

Uchiha Sasuke continued:

"If the other party feels that your status is not worthy of him, Hokage-sama may even consider taking you in as his adopted son."

"what?"

WTF?

Before Nara Shikamaru could react, Jiraiya on the other side immediately said loudly:

"We'll talk about it later if we are sons or not!

"Our goal now is only one thing, to make you her Kazekage's man!

"It's just Temari, kill her!"

"Etc., etc!

"Let me sort it out."

Nara Shikamaru just felt a headache, he closed his eyes tightly and held his forehead with one hand.

After thinking hard for a while, my mind was in a mess and I couldn't say anything.

After a while, Shikamaru opened his eyes with difficulty, looked at the Hokage in front of him with confusion, and asked:

"How come Temari is the Kazekage?"

"Oh"

I had forgotten about this.

He was stunned for a moment, then began to explain:

"A while ago, when the Sand Village was destroyed, their deputy Kazekage Maki performed very poorly.

“Also, one of his eyes was blind.

"Since then, whether in terms of his prestige in the village or his combat capabilities, including his personal state of mind, he is no longer suitable for the position of Acting Kazekage.

“But on the other hand, Temari showed a strong fighting spirit in that battle.

"Moreover, she also cooperated with Uchiha Sasuke to shatter the 'Ninja Technique: Empty Sand Defense Wall' that was powerful enough to destroy the entire village. As a result, she won the respect and love of the entire village."

After a pause, Jiraiya flipped through the drawer beside him, took out an intelligence document, pointed at the contents on it and said:

"According to the information sent back by the Aburame clan.

"Seven days ago, the Sand Village, which had been waiting for a long time for Uchiha Sasuke's reply, had already completed the handover ceremony.

“Right now, Temari is officially the acting Kazekage.

"Then, if the 'Feng Shui' joint plan goes smoothly.

"Temari will surely become one of the 'dual leadership cores'.

"At that time, you will be the official fifth Kazekage."

"I see"

Nara Shikamaru's mood kept fluctuating, and he responded silently with his eyes wide open.

On the one hand, I feel proud of Temari.

On the other hand, a hint of inferiority arose in my heart.

Speaking of which, isn't it too early to get married now?

"Laugh if you want to. Don't hold it back!"

On this side, Jiraiya could no longer bear the boy's reserve, and after urging him, he started laughing out loud first.

On the side, Uchiha Sasuke also laughed out loud.

Amid the laughter of the crowd, Nara Shikamaru finally reacted.

What exactly does the current situation mean?

At this moment, his heart was filled with a mixture of sweet shyness and unknown nervousness, and he stood there at a loss as to what to do.

Amid the laughter of the master and disciple, Shikamaru's face had turned red all the way to his neck.

-

A month later.

The thing about the adopted son never happened after all.

After hearing Konoha's intention, the Sand Village side seemed very shocked.

However, after confirming the other party's sincerity again and again, the matter was settled very quickly.

Before that, Shikamaru, accompanied by Aburame Shiki, went to the Sand Village in person again.

He also publicly announced that he would completely join the Sand Village, become a ninja of Sand Village, and was willing to be loyal to the interests of Sand Village.

Nara Shikamaru's wedding was held twice.

Once in Konohagakure and once in Sandagakure.

At the wedding in Konoha, Shikamaru's mother, Nara Yoshino, cried like a tearful person, as if her family was the one that was marrying off her daughter.

However, the fact that Nara Shikamaru went far away was no longer something that this usually strong woman could change.

Within a year, Nara Yoshino first lost her husband.

Now, my son is about to leave me.

Her feelings were far beyond what these ninjas who had not yet grown up could understand.

For example, Akimichi Chouji.

At the wedding, he seemed to be happier than anyone else.

That day, Choji ate thirteen plates of barbecue. If Ino hadn't stopped him, he would probably have eaten more.

However, according to Uzumaki Naruto, who was at the same table, he later recalled.

At the climax of the wedding ceremony, although Shikamaru's mouth was full, there seemed to be tears in his eyes.

However, Uchiha Sasuke, another person at the table, disagreed with this statement.

After a brief discussion, Sasuke gave his own opinion.

"I guess I choked.

"That's what happens when you choke."

Uchiha Sasuke commented seriously.

Come to think of it, Shikamaru has been extremely busy this month.

After the two weddings, he returned immediately to attend the funeral of the Hokage.

At this moment, Nara Shikamaru was silent, placing a white flower in front of Jiraiya's coffin.

His expression was gloomy and no one knew what was going on in his mind.

As the Sunagakure people completed their condolences, the funeral was coming to an end.

The rain never really fell in the end.

In the distance, three or five crows were quietly perching on the electric wires.

The birds poked their heads out to look over here, at the group of black people gathered at the funeral, who looked very similar to themselves.

Then it extends for a few more miles to the Nanhe River.

By the side of the road, on the roof, a ninja dressed as an Anbu was standing there alone.

He was seen gazing far away in the direction of the funeral, watching the dark clouds hovering over the square.

Then, he slowly took off the rat-headed ANBU mask on his face.

Under the mask is a delicate face without any emotion.

Uchiha Itachi.

I saw his long eyelashes trembling and the tear grooves on both sides of his eyes were very obvious.

At this time, Uchiha Itachi was lowering his head, silently staring at the rat-head mask in his hand.

Crows were circling around him.

Then, Uchiha Itachi exerted force with his fingers and crushed the mask into pieces.

Chapter 325 Joy and Sorrow

"Hey!"

After the funeral, Uchiha Sasuke, dressed in black, blended into the crowd and left the noisy scene early.

Walk nearly a hundred meters.

Behind him, Nara Shikamaru, also dressed in black, caught up and stopped Uchiha Sasuke.

"what happened?"
