Naruto's Stormy Seas

Chapter 197 Nara Ranger

The fifth district of Konoha is in charge of guarding the tenth police station near the Konoha forest.Two figures appeared outside the door.

"Shikamaru~~"

A clear and sweet voice cheerfully called Shikamaru's name.Hearing someone calling him, Shikamaru, who was sitting bored in the police booth, came out.Shikamaru had such an expression when he saw who was coming.

"Sure enough, it's the two of you, why did you come here to find me..."

"Haha~~"

The female ninja Ino was amused by Shikamaru's still lazy tone, raised her hand to brush her long platinum-blond hair, and stared at Shikamaru with great interest.

"Oh, guarding the forest can't change your temperament. You still look like this when you are on duty in broad daylight, aren't you afraid of being punished? But I really didn't expect that Uncle Lu Jiu would really like to let you stay here In the big forest."

As soon as Ino Dalujiu came out, he jumped up and down, like a happy little skylark.And the person standing beside him who has never spoken is naturally Ino and Shikamaru's friend and teammate Akimichi Choji.Unlike the cheerful and generous Ino, Choji is a quieter person, and he is more willing to "compete" with the snacks in his hand than other things.

"You, don't blame people casually. I really have been working hard this time. You just happened to come here during the noon break. As for your second question, I can only Said that Dad was with that guy, maybe it was my dad's idea to let me be a forest guard here."

Shikamaru's words are right in every way.Before Qingyang made such an arrangement for Shikamaru, he definitely had to say hello to his teacher Nara Shikoku.In fact, as early as when Qingyang had the idea of ​​​​establishing the ninja department, he had the intention of taking Shikamaru under his command, and had an in-depth exchange with his teacher Shikaku for this.During the conversation, Shikajiu and Qingyang believed that the current Shikamaru still has a lot to grow.In the end, the two of them decided to put Shikamaru in a position that said it was light or not, whether it was serious or not; it didn’t interfere with the overall situation but it couldn’t be ignored; it seemed inconspicuous but it was a job that trained people. They used this method to grind Shikamaru temperament.With such a purpose, Qingyang finally decided to put Shikamaru in this position.

The forest police station is more like looking at the forest than taking on the task of guarding, but such a task is not something everyone can do.Konoha Forest may seem like nothing, but its significance to Konoha Village is very great.First of all, the forest is the root of Konoha, how can Konoha without the forest as a barrier be called Konoha?What's more, Konoha's basic building materials are those tall trees, and the main buildings in the village are all made of wood.It is no exaggeration to say that the forest has formed Konoha's current economic and cultural structure.Every year, Hokage House and the major families jointly contribute a large amount of money to maintain and manage the forest.After Qingyang established the Ninja Department, it is natural that the protection of the forest is one of the priorities.Qingyang was naturally worried about such an important task and entrusted it to someone casually. At this time, Shikamaru came to the Ninja Department to report to the Ninja Department with the transfer order that Asma suddenly handed over to him.Qingyang handed over a piece of Konoha Forest to Shikamaru with a flick of a fortune.He believes that with Shikamaru's wisdom, he must be able to guess his intentions.

The reality is that Shikamaru really lived up to the painstaking efforts of Shikajiu and Qingyang. After coming to the fifth area, he quickly realized that the area he was in had the largest proportion of forests among the ten districts of the village. At the same time, the police booth he was in charge of had the largest radiation area among the hundred police booths in Konoha.When he knew all this, he immediately realized that Qingyang would never send him to such a seemingly useless place without any purpose.

After coming here for more than a week, Shikamaru, like other colleagues of civilian origin, conscientiously patrols the forest on a regular basis and reports to the superiors on time, completely indistinguishable from other ninjas.A truly smart person is a person who can clearly understand himself. Shikamaru is this kind of person. He knows that what he needs to overcome most is his passive and undisciplined personality, rather than learning some great ninjutsu or tricks.So he simply used Qingyang's arrangement this time to get himself used to hard work and a self-disciplined life.

Seeing Ino talking non-stop, Shikamaru's thoughts had already drifted to nowhere, and it was not until Ino stretched out his white and tender little hand in front of his eyes in dissatisfaction that he came back to his senses.

"Let's not talk about me, how are your recent practice and missions?"

Hearing Shikamaru's question like this, Ino's expression suddenly became unhappy, and he complained pointingly.

"You still said, ever since you became a Chunin and left the team, Asma-sensei has been irritating us with sarcastic remarks, like 'Oh, if there is no Shikamaru in the tenth class, it means that there is no soul.'" If you follow the If you grow at the current speed, you will never be able to catch up with Shikamaru in your lifetime.' He said as if Choji and I are two people. Hey! Choji, you should also say a few words."

As he said that, Ino gave Choji a jerk, which stunned him who was struggling with the potato chips in his hand, and then raised his head to look at Ino in a daze.

"What's the matter, is there something wrong?"

Choji's confused look made Ino even more angry, he couldn't even speak while pointing at Choji's nose.

"Ha ha……"

Seeing that his two good friends hadn't changed at all, Shikamaru couldn't help scratching his ears and laughing.

"Okay, okay, I'm relieved to see that you are so energetic, but if it's true, you two should really work hard. After all, the Zhuludie family has always advanced and retreated together. If the two of you It’s not good if you fall behind too much.”

After hearing Shikamaru's words, Ino's expression immediately collapsed.But Choji, who knew Shikamaru best, spoke quite unexpectedly at this time.

"Hey, Shikamaru, I can't think that a person with your personality can say such a thing, and you still use such a clumsy aggressive method. When you pretend to be good, your acting skills are really bad."

Saying this, Choji laughed exaggeratedly, which made Shikamaru look embarrassed.

"Alas……"

At this time, Ino, who also recalled it, also covered his mouth and laughed.

"A lazy person like you would use aggressive methods to stimulate us to work hard. It seems that Senior Qingyang from the Ninja Division has a lot of power to transform people."

While stuffing potato chips into his mouth, he nodded.

"Well, my dad also said that Master Qingyang of the Ninja Department is an amazing ninja, but he is a little impulsive, and his behavior style is not so popular with the elders of the clan."

Choji and the others are still young, and generally do not know much about the high-level political struggles in the village.So when it comes to many things, I still don't know much about it, and I say so ambiguously.Ino took Choji's lead and spoke with great interest.

"Old people must be dissatisfied with young people. Senior Qingyang is so good, powerful, and so handsome. My father praised Senior Qingyang when he was at home. He said more than once about the ninja department. It is the place with the most vitality of young people in the village, and he also said that if our young ninjas do not consider family factors, we may have a better prospect if we join the ninja department."

"Uncle Shanzhong thinks so too..."

Shikamaru couldn't help sighing, the relationship between their family and Qingyang is very close, and at the same time they know many of Qingyang's secrets. They are as smart as Nara and his son who can see many things clearly. For them, Qingyang and the Shinobi Department The rise of China is inevitable if it is not necessary.

In the end, Choji, who was pure and kind, spoke directly.

"I think it's better to wait for Ino and I to become Chunin and join you in the Ninja Department."

When Choji proposed such an idea, Ino heard a clear answer from behind without saying anything.

"Okay, then on behalf of the Ninja Department, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you in advance."
