Avengers of the Whirlpool Family

Ino turned her head to look at Shikamaru, who was already wearing the standard uniform of the Konoha ninja, and asked with a hint of urgency.

Although there are some differences from the original book.

But Shikamaru is still the first new generation to be promoted to Chunin in Naruto's generation. It's not that Shikamaru is the strongest, but that Shikamaru possesses extraordinary command and strategic abilities. It is also because of this that Shikamaru became the captain of Team 10. Although Asuma is not a particularly strong Jonin, he is a Jonin after all and a valuable fighting force of the village.

Not to mention that this period was when Konoha's predicament was most obvious.

Therefore, after Shikamaru was promoted.

Asma was transferred to another position.

"I'm not sure what the situation is yet. When I get back, I'll ask my elders at home. Our 10th class will also temporarily suspend its activities. We may be assigned a task soon."

Shikamaru also changed his usual lazy look, shook his head with a solemn expression and said.

"Yeah, what Shikamaru said makes sense."

Choji on the side nodded in agreement.

The three of them quickly set out on their journey home. When Shikamaru returned home, he found that his father was not at home.

There was no pause at all.

After saying hello to his mother and putting down his luggage.

He flew towards the exclusive office location of the senior ninja team at an extremely fast speed.

As the most important institution in the Hidden Leaf Village, it is also a department that can exercise some powers and perform certain duties on behalf of the Hokage under certain circumstances.

The office of the Jonin Class is located in the Hokage Building, directly below the Hokage's exclusive office.

This is also to make it convenient for the Hokage to summon the responsible jonin of the jonin squad at any time to understand the situation and issue corresponding orders.

Unless it is a very important specific matter.

Otherwise, many of the Hokage's orders would be conveyed directly through the jonin squad.

"Dad."

Shikamaru is Shikaku's biological son, and he has long demonstrated extraordinary wisdom, and he was promoted to Chunin last year.

Special approval from Tsunade.

You can freely enter and exit the office of the Jounin Class at will.

The ninjas outside who were in charge of the light and dark defenses would not stop Shikamaru.

After suddenly entering.

Shikamaru can be seen sitting in the main seat, busy with official business.

"Well, let's take a look first."

Shikaku was fully aware of his son's intentions, so he didn't say anything extra and just threw the document in his hand over.

After taking it, Shikamaru quickly scanned it and saw some content clearly marked in red.

Shikamaru's expression also became very serious and solemn.

"Are you really going to do it, Dad?"

It still takes some time for ordinary people to digest and understand.

Shikamaru realized the seriousness of the problem almost the moment he saw the beginning of the content and the content recorded later.

Almost all of them were consistent with Shikamaru's guesses.

The still very young Shikamaru said to his father with a look of pity.

As classmates.

In fact, Shikamaru had a very good impression of Menma at first. This was not only because Shikamaru felt sympathy for Menma's childhood experience, but also because Shikamaru admired Menma's performance and personality.

Later, after learning that Menma's true identity was the same as Naruto.

Shikamaru's feelings towards Mami became even more complicated.

Even if we put everything aside and just talk about Shikamaru's own personal opinion, he still hopes to have a relatively beautiful "peaceful ending" with Menma.

Of course, with Shikamaru's wisdom, he knew very well that this was extremely difficult, even almost impossible to achieve.

But when he saw that this day had finally arrived, Shikamaru couldn't help but feel a slight twitch in his heart.

Subconsciously, I thought of Naruto's face.

"What should Naruto do?"

When Shikaku heard his son's words, he paused for a moment and looked up at his son: "Shikamaru, after that day, this is almost a done deal, unless Menma himself is willing to turn back, but you and I should understand that this is impossible. The child's heart is completely filled with hatred. Of course, it is impossible to explain the right and wrong, but we can't care about these now. You have to remember that whether it is you or your father, our first identity is still Konoha's ninja, so the basis for all our actions is Konoha's interests and safety. Now Menma is completely out of control. If we are not careful, even our Konoha ninja village cannot deal with it. We must be ruthless!"

position!

It’s still TM’s position!

Right or wrong?

Justice and evil?

Sorry, talking about this is just a joke.

Any action, any words, will seem pale and powerless in the face of position and identity.

Shikamaru is not a stupid person. Rather, he is a smart person who surpasses 99.9999% of people in the ninja world.

He certainly understood this.

After hearing his father's words, Shikamaru couldn't help but lower his head slightly and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

"It's a little early for you now, but you have to learn to accept it, Shikamaru. Your peers also need your guidance, especially Naruto. Do you understand?"

Shikaku patted his son's shoulder gently, whispering the words.

"!?"

Shikamaru's expression also changed slightly.

But after a long while, he nodded with great difficulty.

That's right!

Konoha decided to go all out against Menma, with the understanding that as long as Menma was still alive, they could successfully retrieve the Nine-Tails!

And do this.

The only thing you need to worry about is Naruto.

Danzo and the others don’t have to care.

But people like Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Shikaku can't do that.

Unlike Menma's identity as the son of Hokage, which Konoha has never officially acknowledged, Naruto has been living in the Hidden Leaf Village as the son of the Fourth Hokage for 13 years.

They had to be prepared for the possibility that Naruto might make the 'wrong' decision.

There was no way they could do anything to Naruto.

But he would never watch Naruto try to stop them, or directly support Menma.

These are all taboos.

Shikaku serves as the chief of staff of the Hidden Leaf Village.

Naturally, all possibilities need to be taken into consideration.

The relationship between Shikamaru and Naruto is still very good.

This can be considered as Lu Jiu giving his son a shot of prevention in advance.

"Very good. The village will be busy from now on. You will stay here and assist me for a while. You don't have to worry about Ino and Choji. Haiyi and Choji will take care of them."

A faint smile appeared on Shikaku's face and he spoke softly.

My own son.

Lu Jiu was still very relieved and had a lot of faith.

He follows his own way in his heart.

Be able to understand what is most important.

"Yes, I understand."

Shikamaru replied after taking a deep breath.

The opportunity for change that must be ushered in.

The changes in mood under different encounters are not just true for Shikamaru, but also for Ino, Chouji, Neji, Shino, Kiba and others.

Only Naruto will usher in his own change.

That is something that is unknown.

Because this Naruto looks like the Naruto in the original work.

But they are essentially different.

In human growth, innate conditions are certainly important, but the acquired growth environment is the foundation. Without the experiences in the original work, Naruto Uzumaki would not have become Naruto Uzumaki.

Will he remain firm in his ideas and stick to the path he has set?

That's unknown.

Konoha's actions.

It also attracted the attention of spies from ninja villages in various countries in the surrounding areas.

One by one, they quickly and faithfully recorded what they saw, and then immediately sent it back to their own ninja village through relevant channels.

However, before their message gets back.

All the major ninja villages should have received the news from Konoha long ago.

Because of this action.

if you can.

According to Shikaku's suggestion, they should try their best to get all other ninja villages involved. It is hard to say about the Sand Village and the Iwagakure Village at the moment, but the Cloud Village and the Mist Village are ones that Konoha must involve.

Going it alone?

That is absolutely impossible.

In fact it is.

When Konoha's ninja army was taking action, the members of the delegation sent out had already delivered the corresponding information to different ninja villages.

Or to be more precise.

These ninja village high-ranking officials have already learned some of the information in advance through different channels.

Chapter 288 Converging Attention

PS: I had nothing to do today, so I stayed at home and wrote a little more, just to make up for the updates I missed during the previous leaves. I will write more to make up for it when I have time in the future. Thank you all for your support, book friends. Although the average subscription is increasing very slowly, it is heading towards 1300. I will keep working hard!

"Hmm? Didn't the Vulpix fall into the hands of that Uzumaki Menma instead of Orochimaru? And the Takigakure Village and the Kusagakure Village formed an alliance?"

The Kingdom of Water, the Hidden Mist Village.

In a mansion with a very ancient style.

On a long corridor on the left side of the inner house.

The Master, who was dozing with his eyes closed, suddenly heard the report from his trusted subordinate. He slowly opened his eyes, a look of surprise appeared on his old face, and he looked at a Mist Ninja in front of him and asked.

"Bi, you're not kidding, are you?"

"Yes, Master Yuanshi, this is not only the news learned by our front-line investigators, but also the intelligence from Konoha. The Fifth Hokage formally requested us to take joint action."

He can be regarded as the confidant of the Master. Over the years, he has represented the Master on many matters. There is no doubt that this Mist Ninja has a pivotal position in the Hidden Mist Village. The most important point that he can be trusted by the Master is that this Mist Ninja is very down-to-earth and steady. He will not be careless even about the smallest matters. He has been consistent for decades and rarely uses speculative words such as "probably", "possibly" and "perhaps" when reporting anything to the Master. He will not add the slightest personal subjective opinion.

All information is reported to the Yuanshi objectively and truthfully, and then we act in strict accordance with the Yuanshi's orders.

Master Yuan did not ask any questions.

He never said anything more.
