Chapter 2196 Breakthrough (4000 words)

"How is it, Shikamaru?"

Seeing Shikamaru in front of him thinking after confirming his information, Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji looked at each other after a while, and finally, they couldn't help asking in unison.

There was obviously a bit of nervousness in the words.

"Um……"

As for the nervous, hopeful and somewhat earnest questions from the two friends, Nara Shikamaru murmured,

"How about it?"

Seeing Nara Shikamaru groan, the two couldn't help leaning closer again, and asked expectantly.

"too close!"

However, the next second, looking at the two faces that suddenly enlarged in front of his eyes, Nara Shikamaru pushed the two away with a troubled expression and complained.

"Very useful information."

Then, after all, he did not have the appetite to entertain the two friends, and straightforwardly expressed his affirmation of the information obtained by Ino Yamanaka.

Is this the difference between a son and a daughter?

Choji and I both failed, but Ino got the relevant information very easily.

Uncle Haiyi really loves Ino. Although he is drunk in front of her, he is so careless. It can only be his trust and love for his daughter.

At the same time, such a thought flashed through his mind.

"Really? That's great! Choji!"

And hearing Nara Shikamaru's affirmation, Yamanaka Ino almost jumped happily, and said to Akimichi Choji.

"Um!"

In this regard, looking at the joyful Ino Yamanaka, Choji Akimichi stuffed another handful of potato chips into his mouth, and nodded heavily.

At the same time, the speed at which he stuffed the potato chips into the innermost part also slowly increased.

He knew that what Shikamaru said next was the key to whether he could reveal the mystery of the strongest ninja.

"I think we should start with this Japanese-style log cabin, er... a Japanese-style log cabin with a garden."

And in the next second, as he expected, the troubled look on Nara Shikamaru's face slowly disappeared, replaced by a serious look, and he frowned slightly, as he said.

"However, if it's just Japanese-style log cabins, even ones with gardens... there are probably many in the village."

In this regard, the joyful look on Yamanaka Ino's face also slowly dissipated, turning into a serious expression.

"Crack, click! Click, click!"

The speed at which Akimichi Choji eats potato chips has reached a new level. Judging from the speed at which he chews potato chips, his heart should have reached his throat, and he needs to keep eating to keep his heart down. .

"Yes, but, according to your information, although the information is very useful and is the most critical breakthrough now, judging from all the information, the only direct information is this Japanese-style wooden house with a garden."

Upon hearing Yamanaka Ino's words, Nara Shikamaru nodded and spoke.

Now, the news brought by Ino can be divided into three parts. The first part is this Japanese-style cabin with a garden, the second part is the head of the Hyuga clan, and the third part is the genius of the Uchiha clan.

First of all, put aside the Japanese-style log cabin with a garden in the first part.

The second part is the family of the Hyuga clan, and the third part is the genius of the Uchiha clan. Since Ino mentioned these two people, or Uncle Haiyi mentioned these two people, then, inevitably, these two people and this most Strong ninjas are closely related.

And, there is a good chance that one of the two men is still alive.

The Uchiha clan that he knows now is only Uchiha Sasuke, but that guy is also a troublesome guy, and he is too young, it should be impossible to know the existence of the strongest ninja, or any information.

And there are no other members of the Uchiha clan in the village. I once heard from my father that the Uchiha clan was once the most powerful clan in Konoha. However, after the third ninja war ended, this clan A huge change happened, and he disappeared in Konoha overnight, and now it seems that Sasuke Uchiha is the only one left.

This genius of the Uchiha clan who is closely related to the strongest ninja is probably no longer alive.

The information about the genius of the Uchiha clan in the third part is probably cut off like this.

And the second part, the head of the Hyuga Clan, this article is actually very direct information, and it may even be the most intuitive information that directly refers to the strongest ninja.

After all, in Konoha Village, the main family of the Hyuga clan, there is only Hinata Hinata's family who is in the same class as him, and according to his age, Hinata Hyuga definitely does not know the information and intelligence of this strongest ninja.

The only possibility is the current leader of the Hyuga Clan, Hyuga Hyuzu.

However, as the head of the Hyuga Clan, Hyuga Hyuzu required considerable procedures to meet his own father, and he couldn't just meet him directly, let alone the three rookies.

Although this Hyuga family is the most direct piece of information, due to the relationship between identity and contacts, Hyuga and Hyuzu cannot get in touch with them.

At least, not now.

In other words, compared to the Japanese-style log cabin with a garden in the first part, it must be easier for them to take action now.

Finding a house is, after all, a matter of doing what you say.

However, if you want to meet the head of the Hyuga family, it is not easy to meet. Regardless of the relationship between identity and contact, although it is possible to find some tips to meet in a curve, it still takes a lot of effort of.

For them, the priority of the Japanese-style log cabin is undoubtedly greater.

From the perspective of efficiency, this Japanese-style log cabin is also faster.

Now, although they want to investigate this strongest ninja, they don't know anything except that there is such a person.

Even, they don't even know the name of the strongest ninja.

And since this Japanese-style log cabin has been split apart, it can be seen from Ino’s narration that when Uncle Haiyi said it, he described it as having a garden. Obviously, this Japanese-style cabin with a garden The wooden house is basically equated with the strongest ninja.

In other words, this small wooden house with a garden can also be regarded as a symbol of the strongest ninja.

Speaking of the strongest ninja, it is easy to think of this log cabin with a garden.

Then, there is only one possibility that can connect architecture and human identity, and can make people think of architecture and think of people, and think of people and architecture. Then, there is only one possibility.

This Japanese-style log cabin with a garden is the home of the strongest ninja.

That is to say, they have obtained an important piece of information, the home of the strongest ninja.

And in his own home, the strongest ninja will definitely leave something behind, even if other people or ninjas may already live in this home.

Even if there is no such thing as the strongest ninja at home, there must be something around the home.

As long as they find the right way, it is not difficult to find out.

It's just that Ino's consideration is also right. It is difficult to find a Japanese-style log cabin with a garden without a photo of the log cabin.

At least, it's hard to find in Konoha.

It takes quite a while.

After all, there are many Japanese-style buildings in Konoha, and there are not a few Japanese-style wooden houses with gardens.

In addition, the home of the strongest ninja may be assigned to other people, making it even more troublesome to find.

It's really not that easy to find.

However, comparatively speaking, it is better to find it here first.

"It doesn't matter. After all, it is a Japanese-style log cabin with a garden. If you search for it with carpet covering, you can still find it."

And thinking of this, Nara Shikamaru seemed to confirm his thoughts, nodded, and spoke again.

"Since you think there is no problem, then we will start looking for this kind of Japanese-style log house with a garden today."

In this regard, Yamanaka Ino did not insist on her own ideas. She absolutely trusted Shikamaru. Since Shikamaru said so, there must be his reason. She chose to believe Shikamaru.

And, Ruo said with great enthusiasm.

"Hmm... I said, Shikamaru, Ino."

And at this time, Choji Akimichi, who gulped down a mouthful of potato chips, looked at Shikamaru Nara and Ino Yamanaka, blinked, and said slowly.

"What's wrong? Do you have any ideas, Choji?"

Hearing this sound, Nara Shikamaru and Yamanaka Ino looked at Choji Akimichi at the same time and asked.

"You say, the strongest ninja, a clan of the Hyuga clan, and a genius of the Uchiha clan, will they be like us?"

And at this time, Choji Akimichi said so.

In the words, some words were carefully considered slowly.

"Like us?"

In this regard, Yamanaka Ino was slightly taken aback, but his face changed slightly.

"You mean?"

But Shikamaru Nara seemed to react faster, looking at Choji Akimichi, he confirmed it.

"Well, I was wondering if they would be a team like us."

To this, Akimichi Choji nodded and gave Nara Shikamaru an affirmative response.

"Indeed, there is such a possibility. Since they can be connected with this strongest ninja, then they must have a deep connection, otherwise they will not be mentioned. The possibility of teammates is the highest."

Hearing this, Nara Shikamaru nodded.

In this way, we may not necessarily meet the current head of the Hyuga clan, as long as we inquire about the teammate of the current head of the Hyuga clan, we are likely to get information about the strongest ninja.

Although it is not an easy task.

After all, information about the strongest ninja is taboo.

Still, quite troublesome.

But it is a more direct way.

At the same time, such a thought flashed through his mind.

"So, you said, if they died together in a certain mission, would they be engraved on the memorial tablet together?"

And at this time, after receiving Nara Shikamaru's affirmative reply, Akimichi Choji seemed to think for a while, put down the bag of potato chips that he always had, and said with some hesitation.

"Fight to death together?"

"Engraved together on the memorial tablet?"

And his hesitation caused Yamanaka Ino and Nara Shikamaru to look at each other in blank dismay and blurted out.

"Joji, what did you find?"

Then, the two spoke in unison again.

"Well, look at the list I made, the middle three names of the seven names in the ninth column."

To this, Akimichi Choji nodded.

"Wait a moment."

Hearing this sound, Yamanaka Ino and Nara Shikamaru quickly spread out the scroll of Akimichi Choji's list of heroes, and read them row by row until the ninth row, the three names in the middle.

"Choji, you mean..."

But when they saw the three names in the middle of the ninth column, the two raised their heads again and looked at Choji Akimichi.

"Hmm... That's right. After Ino said it, I always thought these names were a bit strange."

In this regard, Choji Akimichi picked up the bag of potato chips again, said loudly, and started to eat it.

"This... this can be..."

But upon hearing these words, Yamanaka Ino looked back at the scroll, but was a little too excited to speak.

"Now, perhaps, we can know the name of the strongest ninja. It's not in vain. Your efforts, Choji!"

At the same time, Nara Shikamaru also spoke.

But at this moment, his gaze also fell on two of the seven names in the ninth column.

One, called Nitta Cat Serval.

One is called Taki Chiba.

And between these two names is Hyuga Yukina, and Uchiha Hirohiko.

It just so happens that it is a Hyuga clan and a Uchiha clan.

So, that is to say, between this Nitta Maoyabu and this Taki Chiba, there is a person who is the name of the strongest ninja.

It is very possible that this Taki Chiba or Nitta Cat Yabu died on the battlefield of the Third Ninja World War together with his teammates Hyuga Yukina and Uchiha Hirohiko, and they were finally engraved on the comforter on the stele.

It can be said that they finally took the first step towards the strongest ninja, the strongest ninja that their teacher said surpassed Hokage.

That's right, the first step!

At this moment, they just grabbed a piece of the strongest ninja's clothes and took the first step!

It is no longer groping in the dark, or in other words, no longer wandering around knowing nothing.

They finally found their target.

Japanese-style log cabin with garden.

Also, the name of Nitta Neko Yabu or Taki Chiba!

As long as they can obtain evidence, they will be able to obtain the initial information of the strongest ninja, and with this information, they can be considered to be able to investigate further!

New goals will continue to emerge.

And they will continue to dig out the strongest ninja who can't leave any deeds and is taboo!

They will even dig out why this strongest ninja cannot leave any traces of his deeds, and why the village keeps everything about him tight-lipped!

Although it is still troublesome, things finally seem to be starting to be interesting!

And at this time, such a thought flashed through Nara Shikamaru's heart.
