I sell sweets in Konoha

What important task?

Although Naruto felt a little scared, he was still happy to know about the mission Shikamaru was about to give.

"That's it." Shikamaru said seriously: "Sakura and I are going to discuss the matter with Kazekage about the ghost fleet. I will leave this prisoner to you, Naruto, to take care of."

"Ah~" Naruto said a little relaxed after hearing this: "Did I think it was something?"

Isn't it just a matter of keeping an eye on the prisoners?Does such a small matter need to be so serious?Naruto said almost as if he didn't care at all: "Isn't he just a prisoner? There is no problem at all."

"On the contrary." Naruto asked curiously, "What are Shikamaru and Sakura doing looking for Gaara?"

"Is there any important information?"

"Yes." Shikamaru said: "To be precise, it is not intelligence, but some important things that may require some communication with Kazue Ying. After all, we are in the land of the Kingdom of Wind. Kazue Ying must know what happened today. , if we don’t communicate, there will inevitably be suspicions of hiding something from each other.”

Although in essence everyone is concealing some important information from each other, at least on the surface they have to pretend to be broad-minded. Are we all in the same trench and exchanging information?

"Then..." Naruto was a little eager to give it a try and wanted to go with him.

"No!" Shikamaru gave Naruto an answer he couldn't refuse.

"You have to stay here and watch over the prisoner." Shikamaru said seriously: "We can't take the prisoner to see Gaara, and we can't let him see Timsi now."

"Timsey?" Naruto tilted his head and said without any impression of this unfamiliar name: "Who?"

"That's the prisoner." Shikamaru's mouth twitched.

Naruto sometimes doesn't move his head at all.Isn't this an obvious thing?He even asked who it was.

"Doesn't he know how to speak our language?" Naruto felt a little strange. That person didn't look like he could speak their language.

At first, no matter how much I asked, there was no response.

"It's not that I can't tell." Shikamaru said with a bit of a headache: "I just don't want to tell. He is a prisoner, and it is normal for him to resist our interrogation."

"Oh." Naruto also felt that it was right to say so.

"I thought I could last a long time." Naruto said with a slight look of contempt: "That being said, it's really..."

Well, forget it.

"Don't talk so much nonsense." Shikamaru was a little unhappy. He was led by Naruto for a long time without getting to the point. He said seriously: "It is very difficult for you to take good care of the captives."

"Tch~" Naruto said nonchalantly: "What's so difficult about this? He's just a prisoner."

"Firstly, he is not allowed to hit, secondly, he is not allowed to scold, and thirdly, his personal freedom cannot be restricted." Shikamaru said: "On the contrary, we need to ensure that he is not harmed in any way when necessary."

"It also requires good food, drink and hospitality." Shikamaru looked at Naruto and said, "Can you do it?"

"Eh?! What?" Naruto covered his ears and said as if he didn't hear clearly: "Um...Shikamaru, what did you just say?"

"I...I don't seem to understand."

"Preferential treatment to prisoners cannot restrict freedom." Shikamaru took out Junko's letter a little impatiently and said, "This is an order personally issued by the Fifth Hokage."

"Don't tell me that you plan to pretend not to see it and not execute it."

How can this be? !Although Naruto was not a bad person, he could not do anything to torture the prisoners.But there was fighting before, now we need preferential treatment.

Even kind-hearted Naruto was still a little unable to turn around. He grabbed the scroll and took a look.

It seems...it seems to be Junko-san's handwriting.

"So?" Naruto said in disbelief, "Did we capture a prisoner?"

"Yes." Shikamaru replied: "And he seems to be a very important prisoner. Naruto, can you do it?"

Faced with Shikamaru's question, Naruto did not answer directly. He only felt that one head was as big as two.

What good food and drink are provided, what can't restrict freedom, etc. Have they really captured a prisoner and come back?No, you call this a prisoner?

Are you sure you didn't catch a man and come back?The kind that still needs their protection?

"No?" Naruto pointed to the letter and said, "This guy is not a good person. He and the ghost ship he was on attacked the Kingdom of Fire, and even the Kingdom of Wind."

"What kind of order is this? You actually want to give this guy preferential treatment."

"An order is an order!" Shikamaru said seriously: "No matter how outrageous the order is, you must carry it out whether you like it or not."

Shikamaru saw that Naruto's expression was not very good, so he still added: "After all, this is what the Fifth Hokage meant. Maybe the Fifth Hokage has other considerations."

"You just have to keep an eye on him."

Naruto's face was indeed not very good. Even if he was thinking about it, he couldn't figure out why he should give this guy preferential treatment.

But since Shikamaru said so, this is what Junko-sensei meant.Then he is really not very good at disobeying orders.

"I know." Naruto said unhappily: "I just promise that I will never hit him. I don't want to give him any preferential treatment at all."

"Hey..." Shikamaru shook his head and said nothing.

There are many times when Naruto is too emotional and unable to assess the bigger picture.The advantage of being too emotional is that you can't hide things. Showing your true feelings is often the most touching.

But being too emotional can also lead to wrong judgments and actions on important issues.

I really don't know if letting Naruto take care of Timsey was a right or wrong decision, but since it's been decided, let's take a gamble.

"We're leaving first." Shikamaru said, "I'll meet you later."

After saying that, Shikamaru's figure disappeared in front of Naruto.

"Ah! No! Wait a minute." Naruto looked a little anxious and said, "That...meeting place..."

The meeting place hasn’t been announced yet!

"Ahhh! What the hell is going on!" Naruto complained, looking in the direction Shikamaru left.

What the hell is going on with all this?

Sakura didn't understand either.

"Is this enough?" Sakura looked at Shikamaru who landed in front of her and then glanced at their hiding place in the distance and said, "Let's talk about the issue of reconciliation."

Sakura asked: "How can we reconcile with Naruto? Or how can he reconcile with us?"

"Will it be reconciled?" Shikamaru leaned against a tree with his arms folded across his chest and said a little enigmatically: "You don't think that the person named Timsey will just stay here without any action, do you? ?”

"That's not true." Sakura shook her head and said, "So..."

"Are you actually deliberately letting Timsy think he has a chance to leave? But if he leaves, Naruto may not be able to follow him, right?"

"Besides," Sakura added, "I don't think he will take Naruto to the fleet."

"It's hard to say this." Shikamaru seemed to say with certainty: "But I feel that he will definitely be willing to take Naruto to the fleet."

"Why?" Sakura didn't quite understand.

"Didn't you notice?" Shikamaru said, "He doesn't seem to understand chakra very well. He must have never seen it before."

"So, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will be victorious in any battle."

Shikamaru had actually been wondering what this person named Timsey was doing here, and what he was doing wandering around here alone with two obviously useless guards.

Shikamaru estimated that this person was here to fight the outpost. After the first failed landing, the fleet should have discovered that the power here was very powerful and not as easy to deal with as imagined, so they decided to send a person deep into the Kingdom of Wind to conduct reconnaissance. .This person should be this Timsi.

It's just that Timsi didn't fully understand what his leader meant.

This task was carried out like this.

But this Timsi probably didn’t completely forget the mission, or didn’t understand it at all.If given the chance, he would definitely take a living ninja back instead of telling stories to his leader with his two thin lips.

"Did you do it on purpose?" Sakura said not too surprised.

"That's right." Shikamaru nodded and said, "It depends on whether this Timsi will be what I imagined."

It's hard to say, but it seems that Timsi is quite innocent.Judging from his behavior, this man doesn't look like a scheming person.

You shouldn't be able to see through the trap he laid out.

"What about us?" Sakura asked again, "Are we following?"

"No." Shikamaru shook his head and said, "We won't follow and join in the fun."

"Why?" Sakura said even more confused: "Are we really going to find the Kazekage?"

"Yes." Shikamaru stood up straight and said, "Don't the Fifth Hokage like to say something sometimes? 'I want them all'. So naturally we want them all."

"There is more than one ship in the fleet. I think not only Timsey's team has been sent to do this."

"Their ships must be looking for other landing sites."

"If they are at other landing points," Shikamaru said, "there is a high chance that they will encounter the troops of the Kingdom of Wind."

"Darkness allowed these people to escape last time, but they will never be so lucky."

"Perhaps we can get more valuable information from Feng Ying's side than Timsi has told us."

"And I guess we'll run into this Timsey again sooner or later."

Chapter 3 Hello, I think

"What are you doing?"

Naruto was very confused and walked into the cave carrying two fishes.

He glanced at the expressionless Timsey, then stuck the fish and roasted it on the bonfire.He really couldn't understand this order, let alone why he should give preferential treatment to these guys who had brought the suffering of war in both the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire.

But after all, this was an order personally issued by the Fifth Hokage, and it was difficult for Naruto to disobey it.

Although I won't punish this guy, I certainly won't give him a good look.

But what about food...

Naruto placed a grilled fish in front of Timsi and said, "Eat."

Well, that's it.

Naruto's unfriendly attitude didn't seem to have any effect. This Timsi can't be said to be a loser, but he can be regarded as a non-resistance and non-cooperative master.

Since you gave him food, he didn't seem to care about Naruto's attitude.

Pick it up and eat it.

"It's unpalatable."

After taking a bite, Timsey concluded, "It tastes really bad."

Timsey thinks that he is not a person who is used to rich food and clothing, and must carefully choose every meal before he can eat it.But Naruto's craftsmanship is really...

It's a bit of a stretch.

Whether fish tastes good or not depends on the type. Not all fish are delicious.This is especially true for fish grilled without any seasoning.

Naruto himself didn't care much about this. He wasn't a Junko and would carry a lot of condiments with him.

Of course, I'm not too picky. Having fish to eat at this time is much better than eating military grain pills.

"You guy." Naruto said as he gnawed on the fish, "It's a bit too provocative. You've eaten all the fish and you're not satisfied? If you don't want to eat fish, go ahead and gnaw on the soldiers' grain pills!"

"Bing Liang Pills?" Timsey put down the fish in his hand and asked curiously, "What is that?"

When Naruto saw that Timsi seemed to be a little curious about knowledge, he took out a small bag of military food pills from his backpack and threw them to Timsi and said, "This is it. You can eat this if you want." "

'this? '

Timsi didn't expect Naruto to give him the Bingliangwan so easily.

He opened the bag and took a look.

Just this thing?

It looks like a small black pill-sized thing.Each one is very small, not even as big as a jelly bean.It's all black and hard when pinched.

'Can this thing be eaten? '

Both the color and the hardness made Timsey deeply suspicious of Bingliang Pills.

this thing...

Can it really be eaten?

Black, hard, and tasteless, at least it smells like a stone without any smell.

so...

Is the word nibbling really appropriate?
