Chapter 2192 Breakthrough (4,000 Words)

"How's it going, Shikamaru?"

Seeing how Shikamaru was thinking after confirming his information, Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji looked at each other for a while, and finally, they couldn't help but ask in unison.

There was obviously some nervousness in his words.

"Um……"

In response to the nervous, hopeful and somewhat earnest questions from his two friends, Nara Shikamaru pondered,

"How about it?"

Seeing Nara Shikamaru groaning, the two couldn't help but get closer and asked with hopeful expressions.

"too close!"

However, the next second, looking at the two faces that suddenly enlarged in front of his eyes, Nara Shikamaru pushed the two of them away slightly with a troubled expression and complained.

"Very useful information."

Then, after all, he did not whet the appetite of the two friends, and bluntly expressed his affirmation of the information obtained by Ino Yamanaka.

Is this the difference between a son and a daughter?

Choji and I both failed, but Ino got the relevant information very easily.

Uncle Haiichi really loved Ino. Although he was drunk in front of her, his lack of defense could only be his trust and love for his daughter.

At the same time, such a thought flashed through his mind.

"Really? That's great! Choji!"

After hearing Nara Shikamaru's affirmation, Yamanaka Ino almost jumped for joy and said to Akimichi Choji.

"Um!"

In response, Akimichi Choji suddenly stuffed a handful of potato chips into his mouth while looking at the delighted Yamanaka Ino, and nodded heavily.

At the same time, the speed at which he stuffed potato chips into the innermost part gradually increased.

He knew that what Shikamaru said next would be the key to whether he could uncover the mystery of the strongest ninja.

"I think we should start with this Japanese-style cabin, uh... it's a Japanese-style cabin with a garden."

And the next second, as he expected, the troubled look on Nara Shikamaru's face slowly disappeared, replaced by a serious look, and he frowned slightly as he said this.

"But if you look at Japanese-style cabins, even those with gardens... there are probably a lot of them in the village."

In response, the joyful look on Yamanaka Ino's face slowly dissipated and turned into a serious expression.

"Crack, click, click! Click, click, click!"

Akimichi Choji's eating speed of potato chips has reached a new level. Judging from the speed of chewing potato chips, his heart should have been hanging in his throat, and he needs to keep eating to suppress it. .

"Yes, but according to your information, although this information is very useful and is the most critical breakthrough now, looking at all the information, the only direct information is this Japanese-style cabin with a garden."

After hearing Yamanaka Ino's words, Nara Shikamaru nodded and spoke.

Now, the news brought by Ino can be divided into three parts. The first part is this Japanese-style wooden house with a garden, the second part is the clan of the Hyuga clan, and the third part is the genius of the Uchiha clan.

First, put aside the Japanese-style wooden house with garden in the first part.

The clan of the Hyuga clan in the second part, and the geniuses of the Uchiha clan in the third part. Since Ino mentioned these two people, or in other words, Uncle Haiichi mentioned these two people, then, it is inevitable that these two people are related to this most Strong ninjas have a close relationship.

Moreover, it is very possible that one of these two people is still alive.

The only person in the Uchiha clan he knows now is Uchiha Sasuke, but that guy is also a troublesome guy, and he is too young, so it should be impossible to know the existence of this strongest ninja, or any information.

There are no other members of the Uchiha clan in the village. I once heard from my father that the Uchiha clan was once the most powerful clan in Konoha. However, after the Third Ninja War, this clan A huge change happened and he disappeared in Konoha overnight. Now it seems that only Uchiha Sasuke is left.

This genius of the Uchiha clan, who was closely related to the strongest ninja, is probably no longer alive.

This third part of the information about the genius of the Uchiha clan is probably over.

As for the second part, the clan of the Hyuga clan, this one is actually very direct information, and may even be the most intuitive information that points directly to the strongest ninja.

After all, the clan of the Hyuga clan, in the Leaf Village, only has the family of Hyuga Hinata, who is in the same class as him, and based on his age, Hyuga Hinata definitely does not know the information and intelligence of this strongest ninja.

The only possibility is the current head of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hizu.

However, as the head of the clan of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga and Hizashi need to go through certain procedures to even meet their own father, and they cannot just meet him directly, let alone these three new genin.

Although this Hyuga clan is the most direct piece of information, due to their identity and contact area, Hyuga and Rizoku are unable to access it.

At least, it's out of reach now.

In other words, compared to the Japanese-style wooden house with a garden in the first part, it must be easier for them to take action now for the Japanese-style wooden house.

After all, finding a house is something you just do.

However, if you want to meet the head of the Hyuga family, it is not something you can meet casually. Regardless of the relationship between identity and contact, although it is possible to find some tips to meet in a curved line, it still takes a lot of effort. of.

For them, the Japanese-style cabin is undoubtedly a higher priority.

From an efficiency perspective, this Japanese-style cabin is faster.

Now, although they want to investigate the strongest ninja, they know nothing except that there is such a person.

In fact, they didn't even know the name of this strongest ninja.

Since this Japanese-style wooden house was split apart separately, from Ino's narration, it can be seen that when Uncle Haiyi said it, he also used the word "with a garden" to describe it. Obviously, this Japanese-style small house with a garden The wooden house is basically equated with the strongest ninja.

In other words, this small wooden house with a garden can be regarded as a symbol of the strongest ninja.

Speaking of the strongest ninja, it is easy to think of this cabin with a garden.

So, there is only one possibility that can connect architecture and people's identities, and can make people think of people when they think of buildings, and think of buildings when they think of people.

This Japanese-style wooden house with a garden is the home of the strongest ninja.

In other words, they have obtained important information about the home of the strongest ninja.

And in his own home, the strongest ninja will definitely leave something behind, even if other people or ninjas may already live in this home.

Even if there is nothing left of the strongest ninja at home, there must be something around the house.

As long as they find the right method, it won't be difficult to find out.

However, Ino's consideration was also correct. It is difficult to find a Japanese-style wooden house with a garden without a photo of this small wooden house.

At least, it's hard to find in Konoha.

It takes quite some time.

After all, there are many Japanese-style buildings in Konoha, and there are also many Japanese-style cabins with gardens.

In addition, the home of the strongest ninja may be assigned to other people, making it even more troublesome to find.

It's really not that easy to find it.

However, in comparison, it is better to find it from here first.

"It doesn't matter. After all, it's a Japanese-style wooden house with a garden. If you search with a carpet cover, you can still find it."

Thinking of this, Nara Shikamaru seemed to confirm his thoughts, nodded, and spoke again.

"Since you think there's no problem, let's start looking for this kind of Japanese-style cabin with a garden today."

In this regard, Yamanaka Ino did not insist on her own ideas. She had absolute trust in Shikamaru. Since Shikamaru said so, he must have a reason. She chose to believe Shikamaru.

And, he said it with great enthusiasm.

"Um...I said, Shikamaru, Ino."

At this time, Akimichi Choji, who swallowed a mouthful of potato chips, looked at Nara Shikamaru and then at Yamanaka Ino, blinked, and spoke slowly.

"What's wrong? Do you have any ideas? Choji?"

Hearing this, Nara Shikamaru and Yamanaka Ino looked at Akimichi Choji at the same time and asked.

"Tell me, the strongest ninja, a clan member of the Hyuga clan, and a genius of the Uchiha clan, will they be like us?"

At this time, Akimichi Choji said this.

When speaking, some words are carefully considered slowly.

"Like us?"

In response to this, Yamanaka Ino was slightly startled, but his expression changed slightly.

"You mean?"

Nara Shikamaru seemed to react faster. He looked at Akimichi Choji and confirmed it.

"Well, I was wondering if they would be on the same team like us."

In response, Akimichi Choji nodded and gave Nara Shikamaru a positive response.

"Indeed, there is a possibility. Since they can be connected with this strongest ninja, they must have a deep connection, otherwise they would not be mentioned. The possibility of being a teammate is the highest."

Hearing this, Nara Shikamaru nodded.

In this way, we may not necessarily meet the current head of the Hyuga clan. As long as we ask about the current teammate of the current Hyuga clan head, we are likely to get information about the strongest ninja.

Although it is not an easy task.

After all, information about the strongest ninja was taboo.

Still, quite troublesome.

But it is a relatively direct path.

At the same time, such a thought flashed through his mind.

"So, do you think that if they died together in a certain mission, would they be engraved on the commemorative monument together?"

At this time, after receiving Nara Shikamaru's affirmative reply, Akimichi Choji seemed to think for a moment, put down the bag of potato chips that he kept with him, and spoke with some hesitation.

"Fight to death together?"

"Engraved on the commemorative monument together?"

And his hesitation caused Yamanaka Ino and Nara Shikamaru to look at each other and blurt out.

"Chouji, what did you find?"

Then, the two of them spoke in unison.

"Well, look at the list I made, the middle three names among the seven names in the ninth column."

In response, Akimichi Choji nodded.

"Wait a moment."

Upon hearing this, Yamanaka Ino and Nara Shikamaru quickly spread out the scroll of Akimichi Choji's hero list, and read it column by column, all the way to the ninth row, the three names in the middle.

"Chouji, you mean..."

But when they saw the three names in the middle of the ninth column, the two of them raised their heads again and looked at Akimichi Choji.

"Hmm...yes, after Ino said it, I have always felt that these names are a bit strange."

In response, Akimichi Choci picked up the potato chip bag again, said something, and started eating it.

"This...this is..."

After hearing these words, Yamanaka Ino's eyes returned to the scroll, but he was a little too excited to speak.

"Now, perhaps, we can know the name of the strongest ninja. Your efforts have not been in vain, Choji!"

At the same time, Nara Shikamaru also spoke.

At this moment, his eyes also fell on two names among the seven names in the ninth column.

One is called Nitta Nekoyaru.

One, named Taki Chiba.

And between these two names are Hinata Yukina and Uchiha Hirohiko.

It just so happened that it was a Hyuga clan and an Uchiha clan.

So, that is to say, between this Nitta Nekoyaru and this Taki Chiba, there is a person whose name is the strongest ninja.

It is very likely that Taki Chiba or Nitta Nekoyaru died on the battlefield of the Third Ninja War with their teammates Hinata Yukina and Uchiha Hirohiko, and were eventually engraved on the memorial to comfort the souls together. On the monument.

It can be said that they finally took the first step towards the strongest ninja, the strongest ninja that their teacher said surpassed Naruto.

That’s right, the first step!

At this moment, they just grabbed a piece of the strongest ninja's clothes and took the first step!

No longer groping in the dark, or in other words, no longer wandering around without knowing anything.

They finally found their target.

Japanese-style cabin with garden.

Also, the name of this Nitta Nekoyabu or Taki Chiba!

As long as they can collect evidence, they can obtain the initial information about this strongest ninja, and with this information, they can continue the investigation!

New goals will continue to appear.

And they will continue to discover the strongest ninja who cannot leave any deeds and is taboo!

They will even dig out the reason why the strongest ninja cannot leave any traces of his deeds, and why the village must keep everything about him secret!

Although it's still troublesome, things finally seem to be getting interesting!

And at this time, such a thought flashed through Nara Shikamaru's mind.
