Vol 8 Chapter 910: Up-and-coming Shikamaru!

Chapter 910 The emerging Shikamaru!

"What!"

"You said that many ninjas have betrayed the village and joined the Lieyang Kingdom?"

"The other party is constantly recruiting villagers?"

…

Jiraiya confirmed one after another.

It's not that there's something wrong with his ears, it's just that the news is too unbelievable.

People from Lieyang Kingdom appeared.

And they are quietly recruiting ninjas and villagers. Now a large number of people have joined each other, estimated to be at least more than 10,000 people.

And now that he can't even pretend, he sent someone to rob him openly.

No wonder Jiraiya couldn't believe such news and would repeatedly confirm whether he heard it correctly.

"Yes, Hokage-sama, these are all true!"

The ANBU once again confirmed that the news just reported was indeed without any moisture.

To know. The ANBU and the ANBU couldn't believe this information at first, but after investigation, they discovered how serious the situation was.

In the past, when Konoha was still around, not to mention tens of thousands of people, even if there were dozens of ninjas in the village, their Anbu would be able to find out immediately.

But now that the village has been destroyed, the ninja clan is scattered everywhere, and so are the villagers, so the ANBU cannot react in time and such omissions occur.

"Fierce Sun Kingdom!!"

Jiraiya's teeth were almost broken.

He really didn't understand why the other party had a mortal grudge against Konoha, so he had to stare at them and poach them like this.

You know, the other party has previously attracted countless villagers from Konoha, and even many potential geniuses have defected to the other party.

Now I don't even pretend to pretend, I just grab it hard.

Well, in Jiraiya's mind, poaching when Konoha can't take action is indeed no different from robbing.

"Jiraiya, we must find a way to stop the opponent's movements, otherwise we will be in trouble!"

Mito Gate inflammation serious warning.

Although there are many people in Konoha who have the potential to become ninjas, that was before.

After many losses, coupled with Lieyang Kingdom's continuous poaching, especially the departure of several major ninja clans, their talent has been reduced. Now that they have poached so many people, the consequences are extremely serious.

If the Sun Kingdom really wants to poach talents, even if Konoha still has resources, it will not be able to find suitable people to train in the future.

And the consequences of poaching talents have actually been revealed.

If in Konoha in the past, it took 1 resource to train a genin, now it is more than 1.0, or even close to 2.

This happens not because the training methods have changed, but because the talent of the training target has decreased.

The lower the talent, the more resources will be consumed, the longer it will take, and the lower the upper limit will be.

It can be said that the impact of talents on the village is self-evident.

"With our current strength, if we face the Lieyang Kingdom..."

Kakashi interjected 'reasonably'.

He said he was interfering, but in fact he was just trying to make a fuss.

If someone thinks that this will bring a great loss to Konoha and decides to confront Reyo Kunigo... that would be great.

Kakashi has always hoped that the Will of the Sun will purify the ninja world, but he always felt that the purification speed was too slow.

If Konoha takes the initiative to start a war against the Sun Country, won't progress improve? .

"No!" Shikamaru suddenly spoke, causing everyone in the office to look over, but he was not nervous, but calmly analyzed: "With the power of Konoha, we cannot be the opponent of the Lieyang Kingdom, let alone the village. During the reconstruction period, we must not face the Lieyang Kingdom!"

Although he is young, ninjas mature very early, and it is not surprising that a young man can decide his whole life at a young age, let alone a teenage Shikamaru.

At this time, except for his experience and mentality, he was not inferior to his father Shikaku in other aspects.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Jiraiya stopped Koharu, who was about to scold him, and motioned for Shikamaru to continue speaking.

"The first step is to recall those potential ninjas and villagers to the village for surveillance. There are not many of them. It is not difficult to do this. Ordinary villagers will have no interest in Lieyang Kingdom!"

Shikamaru made the point clear.

It's no secret that the Lieyang Kingdom has been poaching Konoha.

The other party was born in Konoha, and the treatment after joining him was really good, which made it very convenient for the other party to poach people, otherwise he wouldn't be able to poach so many people.

So they took the next step and called the people the other party wanted to poach into the village to monitor them, so that they could prevent the other party from poaching.

Jiraiya's eyes flashed with satisfaction.

Because this strategy is indeed worth trying.

As for ordinary villagers? .

Although he was a bit cold-blooded, Jiraiya was really not worried that these people would leave.

Before Konoha Village was destroyed, they would not restrict these ordinary villagers who had no ninja potential, let alone now. If ordinary villagers with no ninja potential were poached, the Hokage type would definitely laugh out loud.

Because Konoha never lacks ordinary people.

In the past, countless measures were taken to successfully block ordinary people who wanted to join. As long as there was demand, they could add as many people as they wanted.

"Then show that you are not willing to fight at all. Lieyang Kingdom will definitely not go to war with us over this trivial matter, because we are a coalition force!"

Shikamaru added.

Once the opponent starts a war with Konoha, it will escalate into a full-scale war with the coalition forces, so the opponent will definitely give up.

Unless the other party is willing to take such a big risk just to poach someone.

It can be said that both of Shikamaru's strategies are precise and effective.

Even Xiaochun looked at her differently.

I wanted to scold him before just because he spoke without permission, but I didn't mean any harm to him.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

After all, the Nara clan is a stoic clan at the core of the Hokage family, so how could she have any objections.

"Okay, just do as you say, Shikamaru. Asuma and Kakashi, take the ANBU and prepare to start a war at any time. At the same time, notify the scattered ninjas to return to the village!"

Jiraiya made a decisive decision.

Done!

Although Konoha was no match for the Sun Kingdom, he knew this.

But once a fight actually breaks out, it means that the other party and the coalition forces are completely at war, which is actually a good thing.

Because after the war, the coalition forces naturally cannot fight internally, which means that Konoha can feel at ease with the outside world, and at the same time, it can take the opportunity to apply for resources from the coalition forces.

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"*2

Kakashi and Asuma nodded and left the Hokage's office.

Naruto and Shikamaru also left.

"Elder Zhuanzhu, I leave the preparations for the transplant to you!"

Jiraiya ordered Koharu, who had grasped the roots.

"good!"

After going to bed, Xiaochun nodded excitedly.

As long as Asuma can transplant the Samsara Eye and obtain the Eye of the Immortal, the Hokage system can rise again.

It is our duty to restore the glory of Konoha!

At this moment, she thought of these words in her mind, but after thinking about who said these words first, her face didn't look so good.

Humph, it’s really haunting!

When Xiaochun went to bed, she wished that Tang Ping would die immediately. She regretted countless times that she had killed him before he could grow up.

Unfortunately, now she can only think about it.

Not to mention her as an advisory elder, even Konoha as a whole has no way to deal with it. Only by relying on the entire ninja world coalition can it barely compete with it.

"By the way, the invitation to the Five Shadows Conference, when are you going to leave?"

Mito Kabuto asked about another thing.

Five Shadows Conference!

However, it was not convened by Jiraiya, but by the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure Village.

The location is in the neutral country of Iron Country.

The reason is to deal with Akatsuki, the organization that hunts tailed beasts.

"Wait until this matter is resolved!"

Jiraiya made a decision.

It is indeed time to eradicate the Akatsuki organization, this cancer in the ninja world.

Now that there is no leader Payne, the opponent's strength has been greatly reduced, and they have been expelled from the Kingdom of Rain. This is indeed the best time.

"That's good, we can also take the opportunity to let the five major ninja villages join forces to restrict Lieyang Kingdom, and we can't let them continue to develop!"

Mitomonen made the suggestion.

Because Lieyang Kingdom is developing too fast, if time drags on, they will be in danger.

It is better to restrict and suppress the opponent while there is still some remaining strength.

"I know!"

Jiraiya nodded slightly, he thought so too.

After the discussion, the two advisors Nagato left the Hokage's office and went to handle matters.

"The Kingdom of Lieyang...?"

Jiraiya turned his head and looked towards the south, which was the direction of the castle tower.
