Chapter 1039

Hearing this, Shikamaru, who was dressing Dingci, froze for a moment.

He just froze for a moment, and soon he resumed the work of bandaging and answered Dingci.

"With Teacher Asma's strength, it wouldn't be a big problem to escape without us holding back."

"Then... what about Ino..."

He already had the answer in his heart, but Dingji, who still had a glimmer of hope, still asked.

"We successfully escaped, so even if she is caught by the enemy, her life should not be in danger."

Seeing that Dingji didn't quite understand, Shikamaru could only speak again.

"We escaped successfully. In order to prevent our Konoha's crazy revenge, what do you think will happen to Ino?"

"Ino will become the opponent's hostage, and her life will not be in danger for the time being."

After listening to Shikamaru's analysis, Dingji instantly understood.

He thought that Ino was dead, but he didn't expect to get another answer from Shikamaru, and he was very glad that he just insisted on asking.

Before he could be in a hurry, Shikamaru's voice rang out.

"Whether Ino will become the hostage of the other party, the premise is that we can safely return to Konoha Village to report this matter, and we are still a long way from Konoha now."

Putting away his undeveloped smile, Dingji understood what Shikamaru was alluding to.

Whether the enemy really gave up the pursuit was completely unknown, and it was impossible to run back to determine.

And there is still a long way to go back to Konoha Village. If the enemy still does not give up the pursuit, then they are likely to be caught up on the way back to Konoha.

Before arriving safely, don't take it lightly and rejoice too early, be careful when the boat capsizes in the gutter.

It is very clear that this is related to the life and death of Ino, and it must not be careless.

"Well, I see."

"It's good to know, now take the time to replenish it, and then rest for a while."

After taking out the dry food from his pocket, Shikamaru put the dry food in Dingji's hand before treating his wound.

He devoured the dry food, but Dingci's eyes were always fixed on the entrance of the cave, and he didn't let his guard down at all.

When Shikamaru dealt with his own injury, Dingji also ate a lot.

In the next time, Shikamaru asked Dingji to rest, he was responsible for guarding the guard first, and then changed shifts after waiting for an hour.

Dingci didn't argue, didn't say anything, just fell back to sleep.

Just like that, time goes by...

They took turns changing shifts, and they stopped resting until they both slept for about three hours.

"Shukamaru, have you chosen the route back to the village?"

"On this road, although it is said to make the detour a little farther, it is much safer than the main road."

Pointing to the path on the map, Shikamaru made his decision.

"Okay, listen to you."

With a light glance, Dingci agreed immediately, he believed in Shikamaru's choice.

Now that the route has been decided, he has repeatedly confirmed that there is no enemy ambush outside the cave, and he left the place immediately, regardless of the traps laid before.

"Shukamaru, shouldn't we go over there?"

"There is a village ahead. Let's go and change this clothes first, otherwise it will be too conspicuous."

Looking down, Ding Ci also felt that the blood-stained clothes on his body were too conspicuous.

"Well, it's really conspicuous."

As long as someone sees it, it will definitely leave a deep impression. When the chasing soldiers ask the witnesses, they will definitely reveal their whereabouts.

Although, this is only a certain possibility, not an absolute.

However, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you should be careful.

The two of them didn't say any more, and accelerated towards the village ahead, not wanting to waste time.

When he came to the village, he casually stole two sets of clothes and changed them. Then, without staying here for a while, he left non-stop towards the chosen route.

Chapter 48 Your face is too dark to recognize

Two days later, two people dressed like beggars rushed directly into the gate of Konoha Village, and then collapsed to the ground.

Seeing this scene, the ninja in the Konoha gate guard booth was also stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and stared at the two people on the ground cautiously.

There is no way, the dress of the two is too suspicious, and the face is still dark and can't see the appearance, so it is impossible to identify who it is, which has to be treated with care.

"Take us to see Lord Hokage, we want to report something important!"

After a little slowdown, one of the people lying on the ground cried out anxiously.

In this regard, the ninja in the guard booth did not act, but instead became more alert to the two.

"If you are Konoha residents, please show your identification, otherwise we can only send you out of the gate."

"I am the Nara deer of the Nara clan..."

"Your face is too dark to be recognized, so please show your ID and wipe your face clean so that your identity can be confirmed."

He was interrupted mercilessly by the other party, but this reminded Shikamaru of the fact that he was going to smear his face, and helplessly reached out to find his ninja certificate from the tattered clothes.

This is the job of the other party, and it is also an important check to prevent spies from entering the village. There is no other way but to do so.

He wiped his face first, then held up the ninja card he found and faced the guard booth.

"is it okay now?"

The ninja at the guard booth recognized Shikamaru when he wiped his face, but the procedures that should be followed are the same, and he is checking the number on the certificate to confirm the authenticity.

After repeated confirmation, regardless of the person and the witness, no problem was found, and a ninja in the guard booth ran to the two of them.

"Shukamaru, how could you do this?"
