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

She managed to hold on to her spirits, stood up again, and said loudly:

“Contact Konoha Hospital immediately and ask them to send a team over!

“Also, no one is allowed to approach here without my order!

"I need to do a full checkup on Jiraiya!"

"Yes!"

The first step of the plan went more smoothly than expected.

After Tsunade's careful examination, she completely ruled out the possibility of poisoning, trauma, and other murders.

In addition to Jiraiya's previous preparations, he had mentioned, intentionally or unintentionally, when facing people from all parties that he had been feeling very unwell recently.

In the end, with Tsunade's authoritative endorsement, Jiraiya's cause of death was quickly determined to be "sudden death."

Afterwards, the funeral of the Fifth Hokage was held as scheduled.

We all know what happened next.

Cloudy day, funeral.

Mourning, White Chrysanthemum.

Crows at the funeral and Uchiha Itachi in the distance.

After the funeral, Nara Shikamaru followed closely behind Uchiha Sasuke.

And the conflict between Uzumaki Naruto and Sai.

Falling rain.

At the Hokage's house, Naruto left.

Shikamaru comes to visit on a rainy night.

A puppet to be entrusted with the care of others.

The entrustment of the orphan failed.

At this point, the timeline has come to a close.

Facing Uchiha Sasuke who just wanted to get rid of him completely, Jiraiya felt mixed emotions.

An awkward silence spread between the master and the disciple.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Jiraiya chatted casually:

("By the way, who did you originally plan to ask to go with Shikamaru to pick me up?")

(“Who else?”)

Uchiha Sasuke said tiredly:

("Right now, the only people who know about this, besides you and me, are the cunning monkey.")

There was another moment of silence.

(“So, do you think someone has guessed our plan?

("For example, Nara Shikamaru?")

Jiraiya continued to make small talk.

("As long as Danzo Shimura doesn't guess it.")

Uchiha Sasuke answered lazily.

("Go to sleep and we'll talk about everything tomorrow.")

Here, Jiraiya wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Uchiha Sasuke.

I saw him yawning and walking towards the bathroom.

Meanwhile, in Konoha, Nara Mansion.

Earlier, after the condolences were over.

All the Sunagakure ninjas lived in corresponding guest houses under the arrangement of the Konoha officials.

Logically speaking, given Shikamaru's current status, he should stay with his wife.

However, since he was going to visit Sasuke tonight, Shikamaru made an excuse and said he wanted to stay at home.

At this time, Nara Shikamaru pushed the door open and went home, only to see that the living room was still brightly lit.

As soon as he entered the door, his mother Nara Yoshino came up to him, took the umbrella from Shikamaru, and considerately handed him a dry towel.

Compared to his previous hot-tempered personality, Nara Yoshino now looks much more listless.

"Mom, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Shikamaru took the towel and asked softly while wiping the rain off his body.

On this side, Nara Yoshino did not answer.

She glanced towards the side of the living room, and following her gaze, Nara Shikamaru was surprised to find.

In the living room, besides the mother, there were two other ninjas.

Chapter 338 Conspiracy

I saw Qiu Dao Ding Zuo and Yamanaka Haiyi sitting cross-legged facing each other.

There was a tea tray in front of the two of them.

On the tea tray, the tea in the cup seemed to have turned cold, with no more steam coming out.

It seems that the two have been waiting here for a long time.

Nara Shikamaru turned around and wanted to say something to his mother.

But Nara Yoshino just lowered his head, turned around silently, went upstairs and left.

"My dear uncles, it's so late, what's the matter?"

After watching his mother leave, Nara Shikamaru lowered his head and folded the towel in his hand and put it away.

Then, while greeting them, he strode towards the patriarchs of the other two families.

When I got closer, I saw that the two of them had serious expressions, as if they were worried about something.

"You just went to Uchiha Sasuke's place, right?"

Shikamaru sat down not long after.

At the side, Qiu Daodingzuo lost his patience first and asked.

"Yes."

Shikamaru nodded frankly and admitted it very straightforwardly.

"Oh!"

Qiu Dao Ding Zuo hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke:

"You are so careless!"

"is it?"

Facing the anxiety of this old friend, Shikamaru Nara just smiled slightly and said:

"Uchiha Sasuke and the Fifth Hokage have a father-son relationship, and this is something everyone in the village knows.

"As a contemporary of Sasuke, isn't it normal for you to visit him at a time like this?

"My two uncles, there's no need to be so nervous, right?"

"Shikamaru, there's no need for us to say such polite words to each other."

On the side, Yamanaka Hiichi, who had been silent, spoke up:

“You should know what Uncle Ding Zuo means.

"Or has Nara Suzaku not given you this letter yet?"

As he spoke, Yamanaka Inichi took out a piece of light yellow paper from his pocket, placed it on the straw mat in front of him, and pushed it towards Shikamaru.

Shikamaru took the letter and glanced at it casually, only to see the words at the top:

"The real Uchiha Sasuke has been killed."

Then, Shikamaru withdrew his gaze and said with a smile:

"My dear uncles, you two wouldn't really believe such a ridiculous thing, would you?"

"But."

On the side, Akimichi Chozo was about to say something but was interrupted by Yamanaka Inoichi with a wave of his hand.

“It doesn’t matter whether we believe it or not.

"What's important is the appearance of the letter itself."

Yamanaka Inoichi had a stern expression and said in a deep voice:

“Originally, it was an open secret that Uchiha Sasuke would succeed Jiraiya as the village’s sixth Hokage.

“But Jiraiya’s sudden death made everything shaky.

“Right now, this letter is the clarion call for Danzo to begin his attack.

“In addition, Shimura Danzo has also begun to win over the major families in private.

"All this means that this power transition will definitely not be as smooth as in the past."

"Yes."

On the side, after hearing his good friend's discussion, Qiu Daodingzuo couldn't help but straighten up again.

The mountain-like body sat there cross-legged, with his hands folded in front of his chest, his eyes narrowed, and he kept nodding slightly.

“Shimura Danzo is clearly an ambitious man.
