Chapter 386 Inner Decision

Hinata can still see clearly on this point.

"Well, I understand, Shikamaru-kun, I'm sorry for your trouble."

Hinata bowed slightly to express her gratitude.

"Of course, this is not inevitable, because Menma did not really refuse, there is still a little hope. In addition, haven't we gained a certain amount in the past few days? It can still be further extended. Judging from the previous information, Menma should not restrict Naruto's actions. If we are lucky, we may meet Naruto somewhere in this village."

Looking at Hinata's disappointed look.

Shikamaru still subconsciously comforted her.

But in fact, when Shikamaru said this, he didn't believe it himself, because he couldn't let Naruto meet them casually when he was living in a different place. This could easily lead to too many problems.

In addition, Shikamaru actually had another hidden word in his heart, which was, is Naruto really alive?

Even if the current information shows that there is almost a 99% certainty that this can be confirmed.

But in the battle of the Valley of the End.

Menma left a deep impression on Shikamaru, that is, his sudden change of attitude. Shikamaru really thinks Menma is terrible.

He can disguise himself for twelve years.

Is it really possible to kill Naruto directly.

Brothers?

Is there really affection? Shikamaru doesn't believe it. It is easy to make similar judgments if you put yourself in his shoes.

It's just that all this is similar to Schrödinger's cat. Without seeing it with your own eyes and touching it with your own hands.

Any judgment result can only be a "guess".

It may be effective.

It may also be invalid.

Therefore, just like Shikaku didn't really tell Kakashi, Haiyi and others all his guesses, Shikamaru thought of these and buried them deeply in his heart.

What to say when.

Shikamaru still sees it clearly.

"Yes, Miss Hinata, you don't have to worry, everything is still possible."

Neji, who was kneeling on the left side of Hinata, also comforted.

Even though he still had a lot of resentment towards the main family, Neji still adjusted his mentality well when Hiashi took out the handwritten letter before Hiashi's death as in the original book.

His willingness to be Hinata's guard is one of the best proofs.

"Yeah, I know, Brother Neji, thank you too, Shikamaru-kun."

Hinata gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her face was full of seriousness, and she nodded heavily and replied softly.

'Naruto-kun... Naruto-kun... . . '

This girl is unwilling to give up easily.

She also doesn't want to see this girl affected by her companions.

While suppressing the impulse in her heart.

She also plans to take advantage of the last period of time to search this ninja village carefully. Since they can find a little clue before, there is a certain hope to meet.

At least Hinata thinks so.

And it is also to comfort the girl.

Shikamaru, Kiba, Choji, Ino and others will naturally accompany them.

Anyway, the Hidden Light Village did not restrict their freedom, as long as they did not go to the prohibited areas.

Even if this method is too "stupid and straightforward".

But it is still a method after all, isn't it?

The plan made by the boys and girls here, seeing that Hinata's mood was obviously still very stable, Shikamaru was quietly relieved in his heart, just as Shikaku was very worried about Hinata.

Shikamaru was also a little worried that Hinata would take risks for Naruto regardless of everything.

It's not that he said anything else.

But such an adventure would not only have no effect, but would only harm others and himself. Long before arriving at the Hidden Light Village, Shikamaru had received the most clear instructions from his father. Everyone else was fine, but he must keep an eye on Hinata.

Many times, a woman who looks weak and fragile is likely to do something very impulsive and risky.

'Next, I hope that there can be a little progress from my father, and it doesn't really end like this. . . . '

Shikamaru sighed secretly in his heart and thought silently.

The definition made in my heart.

In the next two days.

Shikamaru, Hinata and others continued their search in the streets and alleys of Guangyin Village.

And Shikaku continued to discuss more detailed matters with Shibuki and Ajun below, such as the most important issue of border defense.

Even if it is not a comprehensive alliance, but a short-term ceasefire agreement, it is necessary to determine each other's needs in all aspects.

The issue of border defense is one of the key contents.

In Konohagakure Village, Tsunade received the letter from Haiyi, and while she and Jiraiya felt a certain degree of incredible and joy, she also quickly made a reply, and all the decision-making power was entrusted to Shikaku.

Tsunade and Jiraiya believed in Shikaku's ability and would definitely handle the relevant issues.

As expected.

After Shikaku, Haiyi and others received Tsunade's accurate reply.

He quickly signed a series of follow-up agreements with Shimu, Ajun and others. Lujiu even deliberately made concessions directly in many places, and the concessions were made very naturally and would not appear abrupt. All are within the acceptable range.

If you are not very clear about the relationship between your Amekage-sama and the Hidden Leaf Village.

Shiki and Ajun both want to really reach an alliance agreement with Konoha Hidden Village.

Because judging from the current history of the ninja world, there has never been a backstabbing of an ally in Konoha (Uzushio Village, Konoha Hidden Village just ignored death, at least there was no backstabbing, and they were considered winners in the competition) Let’s get it together.)

Considering the current situation in the ninja world.

Shibuki and Ajun really felt that they could talk to Konoha.

From this aspect, it is enough to prove how popular Shikaku's approach is and how smart it is.

This also led to Shibaki after negotiating with Shikaku.

In the report with Menma, although he didn't say much, his expression betrayed Shibuki's heart. This can't be blamed on Shibaki. After all, he didn't know Menma's real plan. As mentioned before, If everything remains the same as before, maintaining the status of a great ninja village.

Forming an alliance with Konoha is indeed the only correct solution.

But just because he couldn't touch Menma's heart, and because everything in the current Koyakure Village was built on Menma alone, Shibaki naturally couldn't say anything more.

"It's no wonder that Shibuki-san is wavering. This agreement, tsk tsk, if I hadn't had other plans, I would have felt that Konoha is full of sincerity."

After Yu Shemu left.

Menma looked at the drafted agreement in front of him, shook his head slightly and said.

"Could this be Konoha's delaying strategy, Menma?"

Xiang Rin on the side is obviously much more direct. She doesn't have a good impression of Konoha Hidden Village who forced Menma to defect. She is born to look at everyone in Konoha from an 'evil' perspective. Make peace.

It is also because of this that even if Konoha really shows sincerity and goodwill.

From Xianglin's perspective, there is definitely a conspiracy involved.

This is the essential difference between Xiang Rin, Shibuki and others.

"No, Xiang Rin, I know Konoha better than anyone else. This village has been like this since ancient times. The only normal period was probably the reign of the second-generation Hokage Senju Tobirama. The remaining few In the past ten years, each one has been more and more outrageous, maybe a little bit, but this agreement, you know, is definitely the most sincere expression of Konoha."

Menma chuckled and shook his head.

Only when you become an enemy of Konoha can you know how wonderful Konoha is.

This is a big country that can easily provoke others, get whatever it wants when it wins, but doesn't hold others accountable when it loses, and doesn't have to pay any extra price.

Even sometimes, as long as you don't really start a war, or just threaten it a little, there is a high probability that you will get unexpected gains for the so-called top five countries.

This is by no means an exaggeration.

Many things that have happened in the past are enough to prove this.

The most classic example is that Hinata was kidnapped many years ago, which later led to Hinata Hizashi's suicide.

From here you can see how weak the so-called Konoha Ultimate is.

Of course Tsunade is stronger than Sarutobi Hiruzen.

But some things are already engraved in my bones.

Change does not happen so easily.

"Even if this is the case, I think we should be more cautious. These guys are completely untrustworthy."

After Xianglin hesitated for a while, he said firmly.

Not to mention people from outside the village such as Konoha and Iwagakure.

Even in Guangyin Village, not everyone trusts Xianglin, especially Wuwei and Wugan and his son. Xianglin has always felt that they have evil intentions. Of course, the most important thing is that Wuwei and Wugan and his son have the strength. and power.

These days, it's still the same sentence. It doesn't depend on whether you have the intention or not. The key point still depends on whether you have the ability.

Wuwei was the temporary leader of Caoyin Village at that time, and Wuzan was still the incarnation of Wu. Together, father and son were a powerful force.

Xianglin naturally had to be on guard.

Even now, Xianglin still has some room for observation of other people in the village.

In Xiang Rin's words, she is Menma's last line of defense and shield, and she must screen out every possible enemy.

Of course, it's impossible to show it on the surface.

Otherwise, it will affect the internal harmony of the village.

The current Xianglin is no longer the little girl she was two years ago, and her sincerity is only revealed when she is alone with Menma.

"Well, I understand. I'll leave the details to you. I trust your judgment, Xianglin."

Menma also looked at Xiang Rin with a gentle expression and said.

The outstretched right hand also gently held Xiang Lin's catkin.

Just like Xiang Rin's unreserved dedication to Men Ma, the person Men Ma can trust 100% without reservation is Xiang Rin.

Whether it's to realize your ambitions.

Or by the way, they can complete the revival of their Uzumaki clan.

Xianglin is an indispensable existence for Menma, and is also Menma's most important spiritual and emotional support.

There is a different kind of temperature that can be felt directly from the palm of your hand.

A faint blush appeared on Karin's cheeks, and as her hands gently turned over, her ten fingers clasped together and clasped together.

The figure that leaned over subconsciously.

Under the shining sun outside the window, the two figures gradually leaned against each other.

The rare peace in the silence.

After a long time.

"Oh, by the way, Menma, there is progress on another matter you told me before. Through your description, the Anbu has determined the specific location, just as you said, in the northernmost part of the Land of Fire, near the easternmost narrow mountain range called Fengzhi Mountain in the Land of Soup."

Karin, who was lying in Menma's arms, seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly sat up straight, looking at Menma with a little excitement and said.

"Huh? Is it true?"

When Menma heard these words, he subconsciously straightened his body and asked with a touch of surprise.

The power of all things.

The real bloodline network level.

That can reach the limit of mortals to travel in the stars, which can be called the power of the realm of God.

The current research alone is far from enough.

Yin and Yang.

Represents the spirit and the body.

Both are indispensable.

Therefore, long before the physical experiment strengthening has reached the last step, Menma has begun to arrange other research.

The fusion of the seven chakra attributes.

Evolution on the spiritual level.

Through the important experimental data obtained from Orochimaru, the white eye in Menma's hand, and the most critical Mangekyō Sharingan of Obito, there has actually been a certain degree of progress.

But it is precisely because of this part of the progress that Menma saw the real barrier.

After all, he is not Asura, nor Indra.

These two brothers who inherited the blood of the Six Paths Sage, as long as they truly develop their potential to the extreme, once they obtain the important help of the Six Paths Sage, or perfectly devour and integrate the power of another brother, they can open the road to that level (In the original work, Uchiha Madara who opened the Samsara Eye is actually not the real Six Paths level, at least compared with Hagoromo, there is still a big gap, not to mention compared with Kaguya, and later Madara who absorbed the Ten Tails is the real Six Paths level existence, who can overpower Hagoromo and is almost comparable to Kaguya.)

Menma is obviously not a little bit behind these two in terms of the level and concentration of blood, so Menma needs to make more efforts and try to get a little hope through various methods.

To put it bluntly, this is a way to improve the purity of his own blood.

Sage body.

Menma already has unlimited.

Now it is just a lack of "spiritual power" close to the level of Uchiha Madara!

This is the key condition that Menma must gather if he wants to take that step! ! !
