I sell sweets in Konoha

In his heart, the Uchiha clan is equally important as the village. He does not want to see the prosperity of the village being based on the decline of the Uchiha clan.

It was also after that night that he had always dreamed of revitalizing the Uchiha clan.

Shisui only recognizes one person who can achieve this dream.

"Junko, this is a plea." Shisui said, "I believe that the current Uchiha is absolutely loyal to Konoha."

"And the only person who can revive Uchiha is you."

"So this is what you mean?" Junko asked, "Let Sasuke go?"

"It's not just mine, it's also Danzo-sama's." Shisui said: "Duanzo-sama asked me to tell you that although he will not intervene in this matter, his suggestion is that one must be placed next to Orochimaru."

"Can't Kabuto do it?" Junko said very tangledly: "Does it have to be Sasuke?"

"Kabuto is too weak, and his mind is too strong. His potential is not very good either." Shisui pointed out Kabuto's current weakness without hesitation and said: "He can work for Scorpion, for Orochimaru, for you, and for others. work."

"For this kind of person, who can't grasp the root cause and doesn't know where his thoughts are, it's best not to trust too much."

"As for Sasuke, he is very simple, but he is also very stubborn, even stubborn."

"As long as you go in the direction you set, you can't pull it back no matter what!"

"There's no better choice than him."

Chapter 399 Shikamaru, Temari and their friends

"It's really been a long time since I last saw you Shikamaru."

In a certain barbecue restaurant, Choci held a skewer of mutton skewers in his left hand, a small piece of naan bread in his right hand and his mouth was full of barbecue. He said a little slurred: "What have you been doing recently?"

"Speaking of which, it seems that the female ninja from Sunagakure Village has lived in your house." Ino also said curiously: "I heard from my father that it seemed that it was specially arranged by Godai-sama."

"why?"

Ino was very curious. Although she was just an ordinary daughter of the family, she was still somewhat qualified to know some not particularly important, but still somewhat important information from her father.

She still knew that the female ninja of Sunagakure Village named 'Temari' had been 'imprisoned' in Shikamaru's house since she was captured.

Although I always felt that the word 'off' was inappropriate, Ino felt that I could vaguely detect some more suitable words.

I'm just too embarrassed to ask.

"That's right." Dingci also asked very curiously: "What's going on?"

I haven't seen Shikamaru recently. Whether he is participating in missions or training, he is tied to a long-term mission and cannot come out to act with the team.

It's almost like becoming a ghost player who only exists on the roster.

"Ah..." Shikamaru sighed, and said with a look of helplessness and sadness: "I'm getting engaged..."

"The other party is Temari. She is the eldest daughter of the previous Kazekage."

After Shikamaru heard Temari announcing her home, he finally understood why things were so weird.Although it was very unlucky, he had already guessed something.

From the first day the two met, he became the fish lying on the chopping board.

As for the person holding the sword, it's definitely not Temari.

That guy is just another fish lying on the chopping board.

The real person holding the sword is Junko!

It's the fifth Hokage!

"Godaime-sama is really powerful." Shikamaru said gloomily: "It turns out that she had already made clear preparations and arranged everything properly from the moment we met."

"Actually, I should have thought of this problem a long time ago." Shikamaru said regretfully: "The Fifth Generation must have a source of information in his hands."

"I should have thought of it a long time ago. Lord Godai must know everything about every ninja who comes to Konoha Village to take the exam."

"I also knew early on that there would definitely be a war between Konoha and Sand Ninja."

"But why does it have to be me?!"

Shikamaru couldn't figure out why he had to be the fish lying on the chopping board. He obviously just wanted to lie there and watch the clouds and live a leisurely life.

But why does it have to lie on the chopping board like a fish?

"Ah... I don't know though." Ino understood and said, "But should I congratulate... or not?"

Ino probably understood that Shikamaru was going to be one of the candidates for Konoha's marriage.The one he got married to was the female ninja from Sunagakure Village who now lived in his house.

When it comes to getting engaged, this is indeed something worth celebrating.

But a marriage for political purposes or something...

Ino had heard many stories about princesses running away from marriage and Chiyo doing ridiculous things out of anger.

So she is a staunch true lover.

This companion is going to become a marriage partner, a person who will sacrifice his own happiness and love for the family, for the country, for the sake of things, even though the love has not yet begun.

This really made her a little confused whether to bless him or help him do something ridiculous.

Although I always find it exciting just thinking about it...

"Isn't that Temari girl pretty?" Choci ate big mouthfuls, looking like a straight man who didn't understand certain things at all and said, "If you don't like it, just say no."

"It's not a question of whether she's beautiful or not." Shikamaru stared at him with dead eyes and said, "It's a question of being unable to refuse."

"This is an order issued by Lord Fifth Generation, and it is also one of the conditions for the peace talks between the Country of Wind and the Country of Fire."

"I...I can't do anything."

Shikamaru really felt like he couldn't do anything and couldn't do anything.

I can only lie on this chopping board and be a fish quietly.

After all, all a fish can do is lie down and wait for orders. Resistance is really useless.

"Speaking of it." Ino suddenly asked when she saw Choci eating so much: "If you want to find a girlfriend, Choci, what kind of girl would you look for?"

"I don't know..." Dingci thought seriously for a second and then said, "As long as you can make something delicious for me."

"Just a girl who really likes to eat."

Although I had never seriously thought about it before, when I think about it now, it seems that as long as these two conditions can be met, it will be fine.

"Oh...that's it." Ino and Shikamaru suddenly thought of someone.

After hearing Choji's thoughts, the first person they could think of was also the only person in the entire Konoha Village who could satisfy these two conditions instantly.

"I always feel like... forget it..." Shikamaru shook his head and said, "Maybe you have to be more realistic. After all, the cost is too high and the difficulty is too high."

"What?" Dingci said in confusion.

"The Senate is not good at all...forget it..." Shikamaru shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

"too difficult."

This is unlikely unless Choji is determined to pursue it.

But the difficulty is really not that high!

"Um...what?" Dingci still didn't quite understand.

"Nothing." Shikamaru said, shaking his head.

"You just admit it?" Ino asked curiously.

"There is no other choice." Shikamaru said pessimistically: "Do I have any other choice?"

"Then I can only wish you happiness." Ino said.

Then we can only give blessings?

"Why does it have to be me and that stupid boy?" Temari said very dissatisfied: "Can't there be another person? There is no one in Sunagakure Village, right?"

Temari finally knew what her special treatment was, and Shikamaru's mother regarded her as her daughter-in-law early on? !

Isn't that right? I just grabbed a random guy on the street to be a guide, and then I just grabbed my own husband?

Are you bound here for the rest of your life?

Although I now know that I will not be on any prisoner release list, the future belongs to the one who can come and go freely.

But Temari definitely doesn’t want this!

"There is no reason." Ma Ji said solemnly with his hands on his chest and his head lowered: "You have to do this. The Fifth Hokage of Konoha Village will name you and confirm that it is you."

"So there is no choice."

"Why...why don't you have a choice?" Temari said weakly: "Why..."

"Sunagakure Village is also one of the five great ninja villages. Why is there no choice..."

why?

Temari didn't know and couldn't figure it out.

Why does Sunagakure Village, which was once as famous as Konoha Village and is now one of the five major ninja villages alongside Konoha Village, not have any choice?

"Because we lost the war." Marky trembled.

He tried hard to calm down, but he couldn't calm down.

He could only try his best to suppress his anger and helplessness and said: "The reason is that simple. The Sunagakure Village that lost this battlefield is no longer the Sunagakure Village it used to be."

Sand Hidden Village is no longer the former Sand Hidden Village. Sand Hidden Village is just an empty shell.

It's just an empty shell that can be broken when poked.

I want to raise my stubborn head and never lower it, but in front of this stubbornness is the bloody reality.You always have to live, you have to survive.

Only by lowering your head and being patient can you buy some breathing time for Sunagakure Village.

Only patience can create opportunities for reform in Sunagakure Village.

"But it seems that the Nara clan is very kind to you." Ma Ji raised his head and said with a forced smile: "As the eldest princess of Sunagakure Village, you should not suffer any disadvantages if you marry her."

You won’t suffer a loss, maybe.

The boy named Shikamaru looks like a henpecked master. Maybe she is not the irritated little daughter-in-law in the Nara family.

but...

"Is this all planned?" Temari calmed down.

She knew that her anger was useless and she had to trade herself for peace, all for the sake of Sunagakure Village.

Ninjas are tools, just tools created to achieve a goal.Now she is a tool that can be used to buy the peace and alliance Sunagakure Village needs most.

That's the only way to go.

only...

"Has it been planned from the beginning?" Temari asked coldly, "Teacher Maki."

"Actually, you already knew Shikamaru's identity and had a plan, right?"

Just like when Shikamaru came to invite him for the first time, Maki agreed.

"Yes." Markie didn't shy away from it. Now there was no need to lie. "It's not like I had a plan from the beginning, after I knew who you were shopping with."

"But the plan didn't go as expected."

Only now did Marki really see through something.

Both Konoha and Sand Ninja are working hard on this matter, but the difference is that Konoha knows that if they want the plan to go at their own pace, they must win this war.

And he, Ma Ji, just thought that as long as Sunagakure Village did not suffer losses, it would be fine.

As a result, the Sand Ninja has now completely lost.

"So it is indeed the case." Temari said numbly, "I understand."

"I'm sorry." Marky apologized.

"It's nothing." Temari stood up and said, "I am Suna Ninja, and I do everything for the Suna Ninja Village. I hope that the Sunagakure Village in the future will not reach the level it is today."

"You agreed?" Marky said with relief.

He was really worried about Temari getting into trouble, after all, children of this age happened to be in a rebellious stage.

"Can I choose not to agree?" Temari asked.
