Chapter 2196 Discovery (4,000 Words)

I remember that among the two names Nara Shikamaru mentioned, one of them was very similar to this one!

I remember, one was called Xintian or something, the name was very strange.

There is still one……

Stiffly leaning on the corner, Uchiha Sasuke's wide-open eyes flashed with uncertainty, doubts and hesitation, and in his heart, he constantly began to recall Nara Shikamaru when he was watching from the tree. The first thing I said when I passed under the tree.

About the name of the strongest ninja.

However, at that time, his attention was still on Haneda Kazuha, and he only heard the second half of the words. The first half of the words were quite blurred in his memory, and the two possibilities of the strongest ninja mentioned by Nara Shikamaru The names are all in the first half of the paragraph.

At this moment, he could only vaguely remember some surnames such as "Nitta". Another name, he only felt, was definitely related to the Chiba mentioned by the male host.

It seems, it seems, that the second uncertain name contains the word Qianye.

But, it's not exact, it's too vague.

If you think so, if the Chiba mentioned is the strongest ninja Nara Shikamaru and the others are looking for.

Then, this Haneda Kazuha looks exactly like him.

Moreover, he also showed such strong strength...

Then, the next second, although he did not completely recall the name, he could not help but connect Chiba and Haneda Kazuyo in his heart.

"Okay, okay, I know, I know. He is Maya's son. The Taki family has always been loyal to Konoha. Maya wanted to bear the infamy even after his death for his companions, and was even willing to extend it to the next generation. As a son, Chiba also saved the village several times and was the biggest hero of the village. He even died in battle in the end..."

At this moment, the hostess's comforting voice rang out.

"Chiba went through life and death for Konoha and has never done anything that was sorry for Konoha. Even if he died in battle, it was just like his father, to save his friends! He also saved Konoha. Even if he is still alive and lucky enough not to die, he still I won’t join Kusagakure, and everyone is right, the one with the surname Haneda is called Kazuha, they just look alike.”

In this regard,

The male host was a little less angry, but he still emphasized it.

It seemed that the Chiba in his mouth would not choose any ninja village except Konoha.

He is the most loyal person to Konoha.

yes!

right!

That's right, Taki Chiba, Taki Chiba!

It was one of the two names Nara Shikamaru mentioned!

I remembered!

It’s Taki Chiba, it’s Taki Chiba!

And at this moment, after hearing the conversation between the host and hostess, Uchiha Sasuke's mind felt like thunder, and the blurred areas suddenly became clear as lightning burst out.

This Chiba is the Taki Chiba mentioned by Nara Shikamaru!

You can’t go wrong!

Taki Chiba!

This is the name of the strongest ninja in Konoha, the most powerful ninja who deserves the title!

The name of the strong man who surpassed Naruto!

"So, are you still going tomorrow?"

At this time, when Uchiha Sasuke's heart became clear, the voice of the mistress came from the house again.

But he asked the male host if he wanted to go tomorrow.

"Go, I always have to take a look. Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you be sure whether the person named Haneda is Chiba. I always... always don't believe that the child is dead."

When he heard this, the male host almost didn't hesitate and said it very simply.

The implication is that I must meet that Haneda Kazuha tomorrow.

"Yeah, I've always felt that it's impossible for that child from Chiba to die in battle."

In this regard, the hostess also spoke, and the sadness and hope in her tone, as well as the vague regret, showed that the hostess was not agreeing with her husband when she said this.

It feels like this Taki Chiba should be a very popular person in the village.

There are two ordinary people who firmly believe that he did not die in battle.

Then, this Taki Chiba is definitely dead.

Haneda Kazuha is unlikely to be this Taki Chiba.

If so, then too many people in the village have seen that identical face. Even if one or two people can't recognize it, no matter what, someone will always recognize it, especially the ANBU of the village.

Moreover, from what the steamed bun shop couple said, this Taki Chiba must have loved the village very much and saved it several times. Although I don’t know why his deeds have not been passed down, what is certain is that if he is still alive, he will definitely be there. Will come back, back to Konoha.

He is already a hero.

Due to emotions and reasons, he had no reason not to return to the village.

If still alive.

The reason why Nara Shikamaru got this name is probably from the commemorative monument. Although I don’t know how they inferred that the name is so close to the strongest ninja, but since the facts are in front of me, then I also No more guesswork.

Everything makes sense.

This Haneda Kazuha may just be more similar to this Taki Chiba, the former hero, which is why he caused so many abnormal reactions.

Maybe I overreacted.

However, I don’t know why, the deeds of Taki Chiba have not been handed down.

At this time, after hearing the conversation between the two, such an inference flashed through Uchiha Sasuke's mind.

Combining everything and what he knew now, his doubts about Haneda Kazuyo suddenly eased a lot.

No!

Oops!

Then, in the next second, he didn't care to listen to the conversation between the host and hostess anymore, and darted out towards the path.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that Nara Shikamaru and others must have entered the woods, and he had to catch up. After all, he had never gone deep into this trail, and no one knew if there would be a fork in the road.

Once there is a fork in the road, it is possible to lose track.

Now, although he knew the name of the strongest ninja Nara Shikamaru was searching for, what he wanted was not the so-called strongest ninja. He wanted to know about Uchiha Hirohiko!

So, we must catch up now!

So as not to get lost!

…

"Hey! Shikamaru, Ino, do you still remember? Asuma-sensei's expression when he passed this path last time?"

Walking into this dense grove, walking along a path with luxuriant grass that seemed to be rarely used by people, Akimichi Choji looked left and right, and suddenly a sense of familiarity flooded into his heart, and then , as if the scene brought back memories, the face of his teacher flashed in my mind for no reason.

Then, suddenly, he remembered that he had seen his teacher stop on this road before when he was on a mission.

So, such a sentence blurted out.

"Ah? Have we ever walked on this path?"

In this regard, Yamanaka Ino and Nara Shikamaru said casually while observing the unfamiliar scenery.

They have no impression of this place.

Unexpectedly, this path is quite deep.

And at this time, such an idea flashed through their minds.

Along the way, from the moment they entered the grove, they were surrounded by lush greenery. There was deep silence in front of them. Occasionally, a few birds chirped, echoing in the forest, a feeling that seemed to have left the village. The deep and lively feeling instantly hit their senses, and before they knew it, an ethereal feeling came to their hearts.

For no reason, they all felt relaxed and open-minded.

For a moment, he was a little distracted.

"We walked by, but we didn't enter the woods. At that time, Teacher Asma took a look at the entrance of the woods, but didn't go in, and then waved us away."

In this regard, Akimichi Choji said very seriously.

"Really? Did we walk through?"

After hearing Akimichi Choji's serious words, Yamanaka Ino looked at Nara Shikamaru and asked subconsciously.

"Chouji, when is it?"

Hearing this, Nara Shikamaru looked at Akimichi Choji and asked.

"I remember that it was my second mission out of the village. When I came back, I passed this path. Teacher Asma stopped at that time."

In this regard, Akimichi Chouji said.

"Teacher Asuma, did you stay here for a while and didn't go in in the end?"

After hearing this, Yamanaka Ino and Nara Shikamaru frowned at the same time, seeming to recall the situation when they returned from their second mission out of the village. However, after thinking for a while, they finally did not think of this. Son.

In the end, Nara Shikamaru spoke again and asked in a confirming manner.

"Well, yes, Mr. Asuma was a little strange at that time. He even lit two cigarettes at that time."

In this regard, Akimichi Choji said.

Obviously, he was reminded of the scene at this moment, and he recalled it very clearly. At that time, his teacher smoked two cigarettes, and he remembered clearly.

"Two cigarettes?"

Hearing this, Nara Shikamaru was slightly startled and asked subconsciously.

"Well, yes, I put one on the ground and smoked the other by myself."

In this regard, Akimichi Chouji answered in more detail.

Maybe Yamanaka Ino and Nara Shikamaru didn't remember, but he remembered clearly that they were exhausted when they returned from their second mission out of the village. No wonder Ino and Shikamaru didn't remember. At that time, they were almost paralyzed. fell to the ground.

He didn't have the energy to notice anything strange about his teacher.

He noticed it because of his teacher's abnormal behavior at that time, but in the end, because he didn't know what was going on and was tired, he didn't take it too seriously.

At this moment, after entering this small forest, this memory jumped out.

He couldn't tell clearly about his teacher's expression at that time, but he remembered that the teacher at that time seemed a little lonely.

"Put one on the ground? Smoke one by yourself? Two cigarettes lit like this?"

When he heard this, Nara Shikamaru's face changed obviously. Suddenly, he seemed to realize something, and his steps suddenly became faster.

"What's wrong? Shikamaru?"

With this quick step, Nara Shikamaru, who was walking in front, instantly pulled away a short distance from Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji who were behind. The two were startled and hurriedly followed.

"What do you think Mr. Asuma is doing when he smokes like this?"

In response to this, Nara Shikamaru not only did not slow down, but also became more eager, as if there was something ahead that made him involuntarily anxious, or in other words, impatient.

"What are you doing? I don't know?"

After hearing this, Akimichi Choci subconsciously said.

It was precisely because I didn’t know that I asked the question now when I suddenly remembered it? If he knew, would he still ask?

"A memorial! Like a memorial! A memorial to a friend or something like that! Or a comrade-in-arms!"

At this time, as soon as Akimichi Chouji finished speaking, the voice of Yamanaka Ino suddenly sounded in surprise.

"So, what did Asuma-sensei, the strongest ninja, say when he said it?"

Hearing this, Nara Shikamaru's steps became faster, and he almost started to run.

"Friend! Asuma-sensei said he has a friend!"

In this regard, Yamanaka Ino quickly spoke.

"Um?"

Then, as soon as she finished speaking, she was stunned.

"You mean?"

Then, she raised her head, walked a few steps faster, caught up with Nara Shikamaru in front of her, and asked.

"That's right!"

In response, Nara Shikamaru nodded and started running.

"Then let's hurry up! We're right in front!"

After receiving Nara Shikamaru's affirmative answer, Yamanaka Ino also started running and said.

"What? What's right in front? Please tell me clearly!"

Seeing the two friends suddenly speeding up, Akimichi Choji subconsciously ran to follow them, and at the same time, he asked hurriedly.

He didn't understand at all what his two friends said just now.

"Choji, thank you this time! If you hadn't remembered, we wouldn't have found it so quickly!"

But when he heard Akimichi Choji's question, Nara Shikamaru did not answer directly, but praised him, his tone was extremely sincere.

Sure enough, Choji is the gentlest among us!

No!

He is the gentlest guy in all of Konoha!

Only he would notice this!

When we returned to the village on our second mission out of the village, we were already exhausted and too busy to care for ourselves. Only a gentle guy like Choji would notice something unusual about Mr. Asuma.

In that situation where you are too busy to take care of yourself, notice the abnormalities in other people!

Choji, you are indeed the strongest among us!

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

"Uh... But, I still don't understand why we have to go so fast. What did you find?"

However, Nara Shikamaru's unabashed praise left Akimichi Choji completely confused. He didn't understand how he found it.

"Teacher Asuma, the cigarette he lit is to commemorate his friend! And he also said that this strongest ninja is his friend, and because this strongest ninja is taboo, there is no tomb, so, commemorate The only place where the strongest ninja can be found is at his doorstep! This is where the strongest ninja’s cabin with a garden is!”

At this time, Yamanaka Ino couldn't help it and explained.

"Chouji, keep an eye out, it's almost here!"

At this moment, before Akimichi Choji could say anything, Nara Shikamaru spoke again.

After running and accelerating, this seemingly deep path passed by in the blink of an eye. When Nara Shikamaru finished speaking, the eyes of the three people suddenly became enlightened.

Sunlight……

It instantly filled their eyes!
