Chapter 2199 Searching and Trailing and Accidents (4000 words)

"Hey! Shikamaru, where are we going?"

Nara Shikamaru, Yamanaka Ino, and Akimichi Choji were walking unhurriedly on the avenue that was close to the Konoha Gate. Suddenly, Akimichi licked all the crumbs off his fingers after eating a bag of potato chips. Suddenly, a look of sudden awakening appeared on his face, and then, the words blurted out.

"Varied--!"

And hearing this sound, almost at the same time, Nara Shikamaru and Yamanaka Ino staggered on the ground, and almost fell to the ground because they were too speechless.

At the same time, the two staggered, and the pace of the team also stopped.

"What's wrong?"

To the two friends who staggered and almost fell to the ground beside them, and stood up straight, with subtle expressions on their faces, Akimichi Choji said in a puzzled manner.

"I said... Choji..."

And hearing this sound, Nara Shikamaru looked at the gate that was close at hand, turned his gaze to Choji, grinned helplessly at the corner of his mouth, and said.

"Didn't you say you were going to find that Japanese-style log house with a garden? Is your head a goldfish?"

At the same time, Ino Yamanaka's helpless words also came one after another. At this moment, Ino Yamanaka was already covering his face with one hand, with a well-shaped forehead glowing, and he was helpless and wanted to deliver the goods for some reason.

Dingji is also really...

This guy, he is the one who wants to investigate this strongest ninja, and now, he forgets what he is going to do, no, he is the one who is not paying attention.

What is going on!

But in her heart, she didn't actually look too angry, she just thought helplessly.

"Yes! I know that, but why are we at the gate?"

In this regard, Akimichi Dingji nodded and said.

This is to find the Japanese-style log cabin of the strongest ninja, or he knows that there is a garden, but what he doesn’t understand is why they come to the gate, and they are walking on the main road. There are no Japanese-style log cabins around the main road. , Japanese-style log cabins are all in secluded places.

After all, those ninjas or residents who like retro are mostly secluded, so there are no downtown areas, or they are rare.

At least, along the way, I didn't see any Japanese-style log cabins.

"Didn't you say that there are relatively few Japanese-style log cabins here? Especially in the downtown area?"

And thinking of this, Choji Akimichi opened his mouth again, vomiting out all his doubts.

"Well……"

However, when he heard all the doubts vomited out, the corners of his two teammates and friends twitched slightly.

"What... what's wrong? Am I wrong?"

In this regard, Akimichi Dingji was slightly taken aback, and said.

"Oh...you are right."

Hearing this, it was Nara Shikamaru who spoke first, but there was already a troubled look on his face, and at the same time, this speech was also a kind of helpless and powerless.

"Then why are we coming this way?"

Afterwards, after hearing his friend's affirmation, Choji Akimichi said so.

"Didn't we agree just now? There are fewer Japanese-style log cabins here. Let's start with a carpet-like search from the lesser side, and leave the densely populated areas to the back."

In this regard, Yamanaka Ino couldn't help but said.

"...Really? Shikamaru."

Hearing this sound, Choji Akimichi was slightly taken aback, then slowly turned to Nara Shikamaru on the other side, and asked.

"Why are you asking Shikamaru? Why do I feel insulted?"

And at this moment, seeing Choji Akimichi's reaction, the corner of Yamanaka Ino's mouth twitched unconsciously.

"What Ino said is right, that's what we discussed just now."

In this regard, Nara Shikamaru said so.

...

That's right, you discussed this before.

And at this time, in a shadow a little far from the gate of Konoha, an awkward and strange expression flashed across the face of a handsome black-haired boy.

This black-haired handsome boy is exactly Uchiha Sasuke who has been following him.

Because I realized that the investigation of Nara Shikamaru and the three people was related to the Uchiha clan, so I followed all the way here.

I always feel that this Qiudao Dingji is a bit like Naruto...

But at this moment, such a thought flashed through his mind, and before he knew it, he had already placed Choji Akimichi from the tenth class on the same IQ line as Naruto.

Just now, not long ago, about ten minutes ago, the three of them stopped to discuss.

At that time, according to Nara Shikamaru's idea, he started from the downtown area here, and searched all the way from the outside to the inside, and found the Japanese-style log cabin with a garden, which is what they said was related to the Uchiha clan. Home of the strongest ninja.

Obviously, this is a very correct judgment.

Even if you want a carpet search, you need to pay attention to the method. Nara Shikamaru's method can effectively avoid repeated searches. If you determine the search direction and small area, you can arrange your time more reasonably, which is better than a headless fly. It is one place, which is much more efficient.

And just now, the three of them also made a plan. First, start from the foot of the Huoying Rock Statue and spread out all the way.

The foot of the Hokage Rock Statue is the edge of Konoha's residential area, and beyond that there are no people inhabited, only the sentinel camp.

At this time, this gate is the closest and the only way to the foot of Huoying Rock.

Therefore, they will be here at this time.

At that time, he also saw Choji Akimichi nodding his head. Undoubtedly, Choji Akimichi didn't understand at all. He just nodded his head half-understood. Maybe he didn't even listen to Shikamaru Nara and Ino Yamanaka.

This scene gave Uchiha Sasuke a very familiar sense of sight.

The performance of Choji Akimichi is very similar to that of Naruto Uzumaki in his own team.

Perhaps, fools sometimes have the same characteristics.

And at this moment, Uchiha Sasuke suddenly sympathized with Nara Shikamaru.

...

"Now, I understand."

And at this time, when Uchiha Sasuke felt sympathy for Nara Shikamaru, Nara Shikamaru had already said what he had just said.

"Really? Is that so? As expected of Shikamaru! This way we can definitely find it!"

At this time, after listening to Nara Shikamaru's explanation, with a click, Akimichi Choji opened a new bag of snacks, grabbed a handful and chewed a few times, then nodded and spoke.

"Uh...do you really understand?"

Seeing the appearance of Akimichi Choji, Nara Shikamaru suddenly felt that the guy in front of him nodded just because the snacks in this generation were in line with his taste, not because he understood his own words.

"All in all, just follow you guys, right?"

In this regard, Akimichi Choji said so.

And the moment these words came out, the corners of Nara Shikamaru's mouth twitched again.

Really... I don't understand.

And in his mind, such a thought flashed through.

At the same time, what Nara Shikamaru didn't know was that at this moment, in a certain shadow behind them, a handsome black-haired boy also had the same thought in his mind, and developed stronger sympathy for him.

"Let's go! Here it is, here's a path! We can go from here!"

However, at this time, Ino Yamanaka did not let Nara Shikamaru have room to speak. At this time, Ino Yamanaka had already walked on a small path extending from the gate here to the foot of Hokage Rock.

I saw this small path with luxuriant grass. It seemed that although there were people walking, there were not many people walking.

"Let's go, Shikamaru!"

But at this time, after seeing Ino Yamanaka say hello, he continued to move forward, without any intention of waiting, so Akimichi hurriedly said hello, and then followed.

"Oh...it's troublesome!"

Looking at the backs of the two, Nara Shikamaru paused for a moment, and finally followed up with a complaint, and went along the path.

...

Gotta keep up!

And at this time, Sasuke Uchiha, who was hiding in the dark, lightly pressed his right hand on the defense wall that created the shadow he was hiding in, his eyes moved, and he began to search for the next hiding place.

Opposite him now is the avenue leading to the gate, and on the other side of the avenue, there are a few sparse buildings, and behind it is a forest.

Wait a moment.

Wait for them to pass by, then go!

And his eyes extended, after noticing the building, there was an open space without any shelter in front of the woods, after thinking about it, he finally decided to wait for the three of them to enter the woods before he followed.

After all, there was only that trail here, and he wasn't worried about the three of them getting lost.

As for why he knew there was only one trail here, Uchiha Sasuke also had a childhood. Sometimes, when he was bored, he would explore the village by himself, or when performing tasks now, he would also perform tasks nearby, although he did not go deep. That trail, but more or less know the condition of that trail.

Even, Kakashi once said subconsciously that this trail only leads to one place.

Therefore, he was not worried at this time.

"How is it, old man? Have you seen it?"

And at this moment, Uchiha Sasuke had just made a decision to wait for the three of them to pass through the open space without shelter before following up, a faint voice came through the wall he was hiding from now. come out.

Um?

And hearing this sentence, Uchiha Sasuke subconsciously looked towards the source of the voice.

Of course, the entrance is a wall.

here it is?

Then, after seeing a wall, he looked forward subconsciously, because it is the gate area and the end of the downtown area. There are also some shops gathered here. In the image, Sasuke Uchiha remembered that this is a very old shop now.

Konoha bun shop.

At this glance, he clearly saw the mottled signboard hanging on the side of the front door with faded handwriting.

Under the shop name of the signboard, there are some popular steamed buns and dim sum menus, which can be regarded as a means for the shop to attract customers.

However, on the menu of these popular steamed buns, under the handwriting of the steamed bun shop, there is a fork, which seems to be a dish that the store has erased.

Under the double effects of the faint handwriting and the cross, Sasuke Uchiha could only see the word "extra large".

What did you see?

Then, as if because of the boredom of waiting, Uchiha Sasuke subconsciously confirmed where this place is, and his attention was attracted by the words on the wall.

"I didn't see it, it was just a little bit close. It seems that he didn't go out today."

And at this time, a slightly rough voice that could make people think of some kind of muscular man sounded.

It's just that the voice is rough and slightly hoarse, and it doesn't sound young anymore.

And the female voices before seemed to have such a feeling of not being young.

"Hey, back then, we should have adopted him. Even if we don't let him be a ninja, let him inherit this steamed bun shop, it's better than... also than..."

But hearing the male voice, the female voice let out a long sigh. From this sigh alone, Uchiha Sasuke could hear the strong meaning of sadness.

"Okay, tomorrow, I will go to watch again. There are still five days before the Chunin exam. I will go every day, and I will definitely be able to see him."

In this regard, the male voice seemed to be comforting, and there was a little comforting tone in the rough voice, and he said.

"Well, I heard from other people that they really look exactly the same. That... the ninja from Caoyin Village looks exactly like him. Tell me, could it be that he didn't die, but became Caoyin Village? ninja?"

It was said that although the female voice was very sad, she was not self-willed, she just gave a submissive "um", Uchiha Sasuke could imagine a not young hostess nodding, and at the same time, words came one after another.

A ninja from Hidden Grass Village?

Chunin exam?

exactly the same?

At this time, Uchiha Sasuke, apart from thinking of the hostess nodding, was also interested in some sensitive words in the words.

Then, he suddenly heard the anomalies of Yile's uncle and the anomalies of the passing ninjas.

Suddenly, his mind lit up, and all the clues pointed to that person.

Ichiyo Haneda!

What they say is...

Ichiyo Haneda?

Because he is exactly the same as the "he" discussed by the hostesses and hostesses in the village before, is that why Uncle Yile and others always react strangely?

Moreover, Uncle Yile seemed to subconsciously add char siu to him.

That "he" is also very familiar with Uncle Yile, does Uncle Yile often add ramen to "him"?

Ichiyo Haneda is suspicious?

Could it be that he just looks a lot like someone in the village before?

And this someone, among the stores, is popular?

Then, in a flash of inspiration, such a thought flashed through his mind.

"Nonsense! How could that child Chiba join Cao Yin!"

But at this time, a rough voice that suppressed his anger interrupted his thoughts.

Obviously, it was the host who was very dissatisfied with the hostess' words.

Chiba?

And it was this sound that made Uchiha Sasuke stunned on the spot as if struck by lightning.

That person, Chiba?

Haneda Yiye, and that Chiba...

exactly the same?
