Chapter 2212 Pause (4000 words)

"Shikamaru, could it be that the death of these two people..."

The pale face turned white little by little in the sudden silence, and Yamanaka Ino hesitated to speak, stopped and spoke again, after repeated several times, finally couldn't help it, and opened his mouth.

"Now, shall we continue?"

And hearing this sound, looking at Choji Akimichi, Ino Yamanaka, Nara Shikamaru's face was unprecedentedly serious.

Then he asked again.

Yes, do you need to continue!

Although both of them said they wanted to investigate before, he didn't explain this level clearly after all. Now that this level has been explained clearly, naturally, they still have to ask.

After all, for them, including him, this matter involves the village's senior management and even Hokage, and it is definitely not something that new ninjas like them can touch.

Moreover, since the high-level and even Hokage concealed the deeds of the two, there must be his reasons, and they cannot guess.

This matter is already a secret.

Strictly speaking, it should be almost done after the investigation reaches this point.

No matter how interested he was in his heart, what kind of yearning for that Taki Chiba, Nara Shikamaru was Nara Shikamaru after all, he was always the one who calmed down the fastest.

Curiosity and the secrets of the village still involve a Hokage candidate, as well as the secrets of the candidate for the deputy commander of the defense force and the commander of the army. After all, he is still very clear about the stakes in it.

It was precisely because of this that he had to ask again.

"Can we go on?"

Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji glanced at each other, both swallowed slightly, and looked at Nara Shikamaru.

Compared with Nara Shikamaru, they may not be as good in various aspects of reaction and awareness of some stakes, but even so, they can feel some reasons why they cannot proceed.

The upper echelons of the village, Hokage, these words, just thinking about them is already very oppressive.

To be honest, the two of them are quite at a loss now.

If it is said that Nara Shikamaru wanted to terminate it because he knew the powerful relationship, and calmed down, completely suppressing curiosity and yearning, then, the current Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji have been overwhelmed by those heavy words, And vaguely aware that this matter seemed to be an earth-shattering event, the oppressive force suppressed those curiosity and yearning.

Yes, at this moment, Ino Yamanaka and Choji Akimichi already felt fear, or fear of the possibility behind this matter.

After all, they are just teenagers and girls in their teens. Not long after graduating from ninja school, they are still rookies among ninjas, and newcomers among newcomers among ninjas. The tasks they are exposed to are only D-level and C-level tasks. I haven't taken over a few missions in the village, and the strongest ninja I have come into contact with is my teacher, and their teacher is far away from the high-level and Hokage.

The class behind this matter between Taki Chiba and Hyuga Yukina is really too tall.

They are so tall that they can't bear it just by peeping into a corner.

"I don't think we should continue the investigation."

In this regard, looking at the two friends, Nara Shikamaru did not hesitate, and directly expressed his thoughts.

"That……"

And hearing this sound, Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji looked at each other again, but a hint of hesitation flashed across their faces.

Subconsciously, they seemed to want to refute and continue the investigation.

However, it seemed that he thought of something, or rather, felt something, and after only saying this word, he couldn't continue.

And Nara Shikamaru looked at them, didn't say much, just watched them silently to show his firmness.

"Let's not investigate, knowing this is enough."

At the same time, seeing Nara Shikamaru's expression and reaction, Yamanaka Ino exhaled suddenly. This breath seemed to exhale the heavy pressure on her shoulders and the shivering in her heart due to fear. She clicked Nodding his head, he said so.

Give up, it's not necessary, and you can't check it anymore.

But at this time, her heart is sober.

Although she is still young, she still understands the truth that some things should be known and some things should not be known.

As a qualified ninja, Shikamaru has already reminded him to this point, and asked twice to confirm, which shows that this matter really cannot be investigated any further.

Check again, it may be to check those high-level people who are out of reach, and the Hokage they are loyal to.

Not to mention whether they can, whether they have the ability to investigate further, in terms of personal emotions, she does not want to investigate matters involving the third Hokage.

I always feel that if we investigate this matter, we will disrespect and distrust this old man who has devoted his whole life to Konoha.

"Well... I also don't think it's necessary to investigate further, and I feel that I have deviated from my original intention of investigating this matter."

And at this time, hearing Yamanaka Ino's words of giving up, Deputy Akimichi heaved a sigh of relief, as if a boulder had been put down in his heart, and spoke.

original intention?

However, as soon as he said this, Nara Shikamaru and Yamanaka Ino were startled at the same time, and suddenly looked at Akimichi Choji.

"That's right! Speaking of it, it seems that this matter started because of you. Why are you so interested in this Taki Chiba!"

Then, subconsciously, the two asked in unison.

At this moment, the two suddenly realized that this incident seemed to be initiated by Qiudao Dingci, and because of his insistence, they came to investigate this incident.

However, they still don't seem to know why Akimichi Choji is so obsessed with this Taki Chiba.

At this time, when Choji Akimichi spoke, they suddenly realized that they didn't seem to know why Choji Akimichi was so persistent, so they investigated here.

"Um……"

Hearing this sound, Choji Akimichi raised his head slightly, looked at the ceiling above his head, and thought for a while before saying, "It seems that he wants to know how to eat meat in order to pass the Chunin exam."

"Huh? What are you talking about? Choji, what does eating meat have to do with the Chunin exam?"

In this regard, Yamanaka Ino slightly pulled the corner of his mouth, and said.

Faintly, she already felt that they might have started this investigation because of a particularly speechless thought.

"However, Teacher Asma said that Taki Chiba is the strongest ninja in Konoha, and he can eat meat so well. Could it be that he has that special meat-eating skill that can make meat more delicious and can also eat meat? Do you want to make meat-eating people stronger? If I know that method, my doubling technique will also be stronger. If I become stronger, then, won’t I be able to pass the Chunin exam?”

In this regard, Akimichi Choji said seriously and quite confidently.

"Well……"

And hearing this, Nara Shikamaru and Yamanaka Ino twitched at the corners of their mouths.

"That, I said, Choji... Even if there is such a method, since Taki Chiba has become a taboo, it will either not be handed down, or it will be strictly kept by the village, and we... can't touch it ah!"

Afterwards, with a long sigh, Nara Shikamaru's face returned to that "very troublesome" color, and said helplessly.

"Ah! It seems to be so, so it's even more meaningless!"

And hearing this, Qiudao Dingci blinked his eyes, as if he suddenly understood, and opened his mouth suddenly.

"Let's go back!"

Then, suddenly, as if nothing happened, Choji Akimichi took a bite of snacks, turned around, turned his head with no interest, and walked out.

It was as if those temptations that shattered common sense didn't exist at all, and everything just now was just a dream.

"Choji! You idiot!"

Seeing Akimichi Choji's behavior, Yamanaka Ino's frontal jingzi suddenly appeared, but he just cursed, and followed Akimichi Choji away with a sense of resentment.

"well……"

In this regard, Nara Shikamaru sighed for a long time, glanced at the withered flower-like branch in the rather delicate vase on the desk, and followed up with Yamanaka Ino helplessly.

So, the three of them went out all the way.

"despair!"

Not long after, Choji Akimichi, who was walking in the front, stepped on the stairs almost after going out.

"Wait a moment!"

But at this time, Nara Shikamaru, who was walking at the end, seemed to see something, but suddenly stopped them.

"What's wrong?"

Hearing this sound, the two of them stopped and looked back.

"Now that we're here, let's take a look at the last Nobuhiko Uchiha."

But when they looked back, they saw Nara Shikamaru staring fixedly at the house number with Hirohiko written on it, and said.

Although I can't check it anymore, I don't plan to check it anymore.

But, it's all here, how much, let's ask for completeness.

...

"The strongest ninja in Konoha?"

And at this time, on the other side, Haruno Sakura, who had listened to Uchiha Sasuke's narration, looked at Uzumaki Naruto who was completely dazed at the side, her eyes turned around, and she opened her mouth in doubt.

"Yes."

Regarding this, Uchiha Sasuke, who was hanging upside down on the branch, also glanced at the bewildered Uzumaki Naruto, looked back at Haruno Sakura, and nodded with certainty.

Before, he had already told the two of them all the information he had. Of course, he didn't reveal his intention to investigate that Uchiha Nobuhiko.

"Is there anyone more powerful than Hokage?"

Sasuke Uchiha answered in the affirmative, but Haruno Sakura still couldn't believe it.

To be honest, after Sasuke said that Haneda Ichiba looks a lot like the so-called strongest ninja Taki Chiba, there was a series of messages, and she really couldn't react now.

You see, Naruto next to him is completely unable to react.

They don't doubt what Sasuke said, and they believe what Sasuke said.

but……

The strongest ninja beyond Naruto without any record suddenly appeared?

This is still a bit unbelievable!

"Sa... Sasuke."

At this time, Naruto Uzumaki, who was in a daze, seemed to react suddenly, bit the bun in his hand hard, and looked at Sasuke Uchiha, as if he wanted to ask something.

"What?"

Regarding this, Uchiha Sasuke also looked at Uzumaki Naruto and said.

"You mean, Shikamaru's three idiots are actually investigating such a secret matter? They have also investigated a lot of things? No one knows about Taki Chiba you are talking about?"

And these four eyes met, Uzumaki Naruto asked.

The key point here?

Isn't the key point Taki Chiba?

And hearing this sentence, Uchiha Sasuke was slightly taken aback, and Haruno Sakura also looked at Uzumaki Naruto suddenly, her whole body was in a bad mood for a moment, and there seemed to be some kind of creature roaring in her heart.

She couldn't keep up with Naruto's brain circuit at all.

"Well, it should be. They have already investigated this Taki Chiba's home, and they should have a lot of clues now."

At this time, Uchiha Sasuke seemed to suppress something in his heart, and said so.

"So, what to do? Shall we investigate, too?"

Then, in the next second, Uzumaki Naruto's face suddenly became serious, and a pair of green eyes suddenly shone with burning light, looked at Uchiha Sasuke, and said.

Naruto……

But upon hearing this sound, Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura were both startled, and immediately froze on the spot.

This is……

Naruto?

And looking at the serious Naruto who showed no trace of a fool in front of them, the two of them suddenly asked themselves.

"You told us this, not just to tell us that there is such a thing?"

And at this time, Uzumaki Naruto spoke again.

To be honest, he doesn't quite understand what Sasuke Uchiha said just now, but he believes in Sasuke and understands Sasuke, this cold guy, since he said so, then he must not be the strongest ninja, the gossip, definitely, definitely Is there something that needs them.

This guy doesn't know how to ask for something!

However, since he told them all the information he had, he needed them!

"Naruto……"

And hearing this sentence, Haruno Sakura also seemed to feel something, after muttering in her mouth, she looked at Sasuke Uchiha.

Yeah……

Sasuke, this needs our help!

At this moment, such a thought flashed through her mind.

This guy……

As for Uzumaki Naruto's attitude and words, Uchiha Sasuke raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Ah, I think, let's stop monitoring Haneda Yiye. His suspicion is that he looks a lot like Taki Chiba. I want to investigate this person named Taki Chiba."

Then, he said so.

"You say, we do."

Regarding this, Uzumaki Naruto's eyes were full of firmness, and the corner of his mouth even slightly raised a smile, so he said.

And in his mind, it was the back figure that stood in front of him and blocked all attacks during the wave country mission.

"Ah... I see, first of all..."

And hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke paused for a while, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he spoke directly.

...

And at this time, somewhere hidden on the border of Muye Village.

"Master Orochimaru, the Fourth Kazekage has arrived."

In the dim space, a bandaged man with bandages wrapped from head to toe half-kneeled on the ground, thinking about the man in front of him who was mixing the liquids in two test tubes before his eyes and reported.

"Oh? Can't wait any longer?"

Regarding this, the man named Orochimaru shook the test tube indifferently, and said in a hoarse voice.

"What happened to that?"

However, he didn't dwell too long on the matter of being unable to wait, and directly asked another question.

"A suspect has been identified, it is Haneda Yiye from Caoyin Village."

To this, the bandage man replied truthfully.

"Yeah……"

And upon hearing this sentence, a trace of solemnity flashed across the face of Orochimaru, who was wearing a wicked smile, and he groaned.

"Let's go and meet that Fourth Kazekage."

Then, in the next second, he put down the test tube, turned around and walked towards the other secret room.

That, the Fourth Hokage is knocking on the table, waiting impatiently for the room, let's go!
