Chapter 2184 Class 10, Departure (4,000 Words)

There must be such a person?

Looking at the face of their close friend Akimichi Choji in front of him who looked a bit ferocious because he was too serious and serious, Nara Shikamaru and Yamanaka Ino looked at each other, with a trace of doubt flashing in their eyes.

Could it be that there really is such a person?

However, if there really is such a person, he should leave some legend behind, just like Konoha White Fang, Kakashi-sensei’s father.

Moreover, according to what Teacher Asuma said, if this person is really the strongest ninja in Konoha, then it is impossible to leave nothing behind.

Never heard of this person at all.

At the same time, Nara Shikamaru thought about how his father would occasionally mumble something about powerful people still being around when he was drunk, expressing his complaints about the lack of manpower.

He had heard of a lot of strong men from Konoha's past or from his father's era, but he had never heard of such a person who could be called the strongest ninja in Konoha.

Even the late Fourth Hokage.

Therefore, the character Asuma mentioned should not exist. After all, even if he refers to his father's information, if this person is really the strongest ninja in Konoha, then even if he is his father If you don't say it, then there will definitely be rumors in the village.

In his father's time, there were both the Third Hokage and the Fourth Hokage. He could surpass the two Hokages and be called the strongest ninja in Konoha. So, he would definitely not be an unknown existence.

There will definitely be some earth-shattering deeds, and the deeds of the Fourth Hokage who surpassed two Hokages, and even one of them still shined in the Third Ninja War, rose rapidly, and even directly became the Hokage, will definitely be passed down.

Moreover, Asuma-sensei also said that this ninja is known even to enemy villages. So, the legend should be spread more widely. Now that the village maintains a state of friendly trade with all other villages, then, the ninjas who paraded in various ninja villages Merchants will definitely pass on these legends and spread them.

There is nothing now, not even this person's name has appeared. Even if there is no name, there are no rumors about the strongest ninja in Konoha.

He did not believe that such a person existed.

Shouldn't the strongest one be Naruto?

How could the strongest ninja in Konoha appear out of thin air?

When Asuma-sensei was a kid, wasn't that an era when both the Third Hokage and the Fourth Hokage were there?

Are you talking about the Fourth Hokage?

However, if it was the Fourth Hokage, everyone knew him, and Asuma-sensei would directly say the Fourth Hokage instead of not even revealing his name.

At the same time, similar thoughts flashed through Yamanaka Inochi's mind.

"Did you get any information? Choji"

However, after all, they are good friends who know each other well. Because of their family relationship, they almost grew up together. At this time, they knew that Dingci must have some basis for showing such an expression.

"Um……"

In this regard, facing his two close friends, Akimichi Choji's serious and ferocious expression slowly dissipated, and he nodded affirmatively.

"Yesterday when I got home, I asked my father about this matter. Although my father didn't say anything and just smiled, I could see that at that time, my father was mentioning the strongest ninja in Konoha, and When he was a foodie like me, his expression was very similar to Asuma-sensei."

Then, he spoke.

And in his mind, he remembered that after dinner last night, he was too concerned about the person who could eat as much barbecue as him, so he couldn't help but ask his father about this person.

At that time, he clearly remembered that his father was stunned for a moment when he heard his question. He didn't seem to understand who he was asking, but soon, his father understood.

His expression suddenly changed.

Although he didn't say anything at the time, his expression betrayed him.

That look of sadness and pity was a bit similar to Mr. Asuma's expression when he was talking about this person.

Therefore, he concluded that this person must exist.

Asuma-sensei, you are not lying.

"So, do you think Uncle Dingzuo also knows about this person? Does this person exist?"

In this regard, Yamanaka Ino answered.

"Um!"

Hearing this, Akimichi Choji nodded hurriedly.

"Zizzi...zizi...zizi..."

Then, the atmosphere fell into a brief silence, only the sound of barbecue cumin accompanied by the steaming smoke of barbecue.

After Akimichi Choji nodded in affirmation, neither Nara Shikamaru nor Yamanaka Ino spoke. The former showed an expression that "things are getting more and more troublesome", while the latter's face slowly bloomed with curiosity.

"Does it really exist? It seems very interesting!"

Then, blinking his bright eyes, Yamanaka Ino broke the silence.

"Na! Shikamaru!"

Then, after these words, two eyes were directed at Nara Shikamaru, with curious expectations on their faces.

Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji knew very well that they alone could not find anything or find anything about this kind of thing.

Here, Shikamaru can only be dragged into the water.

Ah……

Is that really the case?

Forget about Choji, why is Ino so interested in this too.

In response, the expression on Nara Shikamaru's face that things were getting more and more troublesome deepened, and a thought full of tired sighs flashed through his mind.

Although he had noticed something was wrong, he did not expect that Ino would switch sides so quickly.

Generally speaking, shouldn't Ino remain neutral in this situation?

Why are you so interested in this matter all of a sudden? He is just a ninja from the past, and there are no legends or rumors that prove that he is the strongest ninja. Are you so interested?

You know, how troublesome it is to search for such a ninja, how much energy it takes, and how much sleep time is wasted.

"I Pass!"

Then, thinking of this, Nara Shikamaru said simply.

He didn't want to take a trip into this muddy water!

stare--!

However, although he refused outright, Nara Shikamaru did not take into account how well his two close friends knew him. He refused outright, and the expressions of both of them did not change. It was obvious that they had expected it.

I had expected his refusal.

And since it was expected that he would refuse, then Akimichi Chouji and Yamanaka Ino naturally had a way to get Nara Shikamaru to join.

This method is to look at Akimichi Choji's pleading eyes and Yamanaka Ino's threatening eyes for a long time at this moment.

Tsk!

These two guys...

And in the five-minute bombardment of gazes that seemed to continue, Nara Shikamaru's body still unknowingly shrank toward the corner of the booth and the wall. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and the corners of his mouth. He began to twitch unnaturally.

Especially when Yamanaka Ino's eyes began to look more and more like his mother's eyes when she was angry.

"I know, I know! Let's go check out this strongest ninja in Konoha."

In the end, after being stared at by the steamed bun man, Nara Shikamaru raised his hands and chose to surrender, saying with a helpless expression.

"Snapped!"

When they heard that Nara Shikamaru had joined, Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji almost ignored the parties involved and high-fived their hands to celebrate their victory.

"That's great! Thank you, Shikamaru!"

Then, there was a chorus of thanks to Nara Shikamaru for joining and cheers for achieving the goal.

"However, let me state first that our success rate is still quite low. You must be mentally prepared."

In response, Nara Shikamaru could only twitch at the corners of his mouth. After twitching for a while, he straightened his expression slightly and looked less "I hate trouble, and I am in so much trouble now" before he spoke.

"Um!"

Hearing this, Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji looked at each other and nodded heavily.

Although the guy in front of me is notoriously afraid of trouble, since he agreed, he will definitely do his best to complete this matter.

They still know this.

In other words, since Shikamaru in front of them has agreed, they don't have to worry about Shikamaru casually perfunctory.

Now that he has said this, it means that the success rate of this matter is very low.

However, even so, they still believed that Shikamaru would lead them to find this strongest ninja.

If he was still alive, then Shikamaru would definitely be able to find him.

If he is dead, they can also find his deeds, or traces of his existence, to satisfy their curiosity.

Shikamaru is such a person.

If Shikamaru were not so afraid of trouble, and instead clamored all day long to be Hokage like Naruto, they would believe without hesitation that Shikamaru would definitely become Hokage in the future.

Because, he is such a person.

Shikamaru is very strong!

"First, we start with the information we have now."

Then, after receiving affirmative replies from the two of them, Nara Shikamaru paused for a moment and spoke.

"Uh-huh!"

When he heard this sound, Akimichi Choji, whose mouth had been stuffed with cow entrails for some time, nodded repeatedly and made a vague response.

Obviously, the most troubling things have been settled, and I finally relaxed and returned to my usual state.

Moreover, since this person has to do a check-up, he must also replenish energy, and of course he must eat a lot.

"Um!"

Afterwards, seeing Akimichi Choji regaining his appetite, Yamanaka Ino smiled slightly, nodded in agreement.

"So, according to the intelligence of our strongest ninja, neither Mr. Asuma nor Uncle Dingzao actually directly said any intuitive information about this ninja. The former mentioned it in casual conversation, while the latter didn't say anything at all. , but the expressions are very similar, that is to say, Asuma-sensei knows this person, and Uncle Dingzao also knows this person, and they all have similar emotions. This strongest ninja is not only Asuma-sensei's Good friend, I’m afraid I’m also very familiar with Uncle Dingzuo.”

Then Nara Shikamaru spoke.

"Well, that's right!"

"Uh-huh!"

In this regard, Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji nodded repeatedly.

This is the truth.

"And Uncle Dingzuo knows, then do my father and Uncle Haiyi also know?"

Afterwards, seeing the two men's affirmative answers, the troubled look on Nara Shikamaru's face slowly faded away and turned into a serious look before he spoke.

"Um……"

After hearing this sentence, Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji, who stopped chewing, looked at each other, showed a slight look of thinking, and then expressed their affirmation.

"Then, does it also mean that this strongest ninja is a person with a wide range of friends? In other words, he knows many people and has deep contacts with them."

In this regard, Nara Shikamaru said again.

"um, yes."

Hearing this, Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji expressed their affirmation.

"And these people who have a close relationship are actually still alive, and this strongest ninja is so strong that even the enemy villages know about it. Then, there must be earth-shattering deeds, and our father and Asuma-sensei should both know about it. , and they have a very good relationship with each other, so why has no one mentioned his deeds, even though they are obviously close friends?"

Seeing the two people expressing their affirmation, Nara Shikamaru said again.

Um?

After hearing this, Akimichi Choji and Yamanaka Ino, who expressed their affirmation and started putting meat on the grill again, were stunned.

yes?

Why!

Why doesn't anyone mention him?

At this time, such a doubtful thought flashed through their minds at the same time.

Since he is a close friend and is so powerful that even the enemy villages know about it, he must have made great contributions to the village. Why hasn't anyone mentioned it?

Generally speaking, whether you are a member of the village or a friend of the strongest ninja, your deeds will be passed down as a commemoration.

Now, there is no story of him at all, which is strange in itself.

"In this case, it is obvious that the strongest ninja has done something or has something that prevents his deeds from being passed down. Moreover, there is some coercive force that everyone keeps secret."

After looking at the two people and knowing that they were already suspicious, Nara Shikamaru said again.

What did you do?

Or something?

Can't say it?

After hearing these words, Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji couldn't help but look at each other.

Could it be that?

Then, their expressions suddenly changed.

"That's right, the strongest ninja may have rebelled, or died because of his rebellion, or he may be performing some extremely confidential mission. Any of his deeds cannot be spread and have any impact on the confidential mission. Or maybe he died for the village normally, but because of some hidden reason, his deeds cannot be made public."

Seeing the changes in the two of them, Nara Shikamaru spoke.

"So...that is to say..."

After hearing this sentence, Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji both looked at Nara Shikamaru and asked.

"That is to say, the direction of our investigation is to investigate the rebel ninja and the heroes who died in the past!"

Looking at the two of them, Nara Shikamaru said.

"so……"

Afterwards, the two spoke again.

"So, the first step is for us to go back after eating and get information from our respective fathers. The direction of getting information is the rebel ninja and the hero!"

In response, Nara Shikaku spoke.

As he spoke, the troublesome look on Nara Shikaku's face had completely disappeared. What was left was just a slightly unpredictable and serious look.
