Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

"This...here?"

Amidst the bright eyes, Yamanaka Ino's eyes widened slightly, a little blush slowly floated on her cheeks, before she knew it, she blurted out a word of astonishment.

"Find...found it?"

Hearing Yamanaka Ino's words, Akimichi Choji and Nara Shikamaru didn't react at all, they just stared blankly at the scene in front of them and murmured.

At this moment, in front of them, under the bright sunlight, it is completely different from the depths of the grove before, so much so that, under the sunlight, there is a sense of warmth around the body immediately, and The slightly coldness in the grove is completely different.

But seeing the blooming flowers, purple, red, yellow, pink, all kinds of warm tones crowded together in one place, spreading their entire line of sight, and among the clusters of flowers, Along the flowers and plants, a path leads directly to the Japanese-style log cabin.

And all of this, in the bright light, seems to be coated with a layer of dreamy color, the flower sea cottage is almost like a dream.

This step into, seems like a lifetime away.

The vibrant and bright scene in front of them contrasted sharply with the deep silence of the grove behind them, but it made the three of them feel a little overwhelmed for a while.

turn out to be……

Konoha still has such a beautiful place!

But at this time, such a thought involuntarily passed through their minds.

To be honest, they never imagined that they would be in such a scene after leaving the woods.

This kind of scenery can be said to be unique in the village. They have never seen such a large flower garden since they were young. Moreover, the growth of every flower and plant seems to be just right, creating a feeling of dreamy fairy tales.

Even boys like Akimichi Choji and Nara Shikamaru, who were not very interested in these things, were in a daze at this moment.

...

This...here is...

But at this time, when the tenth class was immersed in the beautiful scenery, a figure was silently standing on the branches of the trees in the woods behind them not far from them, which happened to be the dividing line beyond their detection range. He stopped his galloping momentum and crouched down on a branch.

At the same time, while crouching, a trace of surprise flashed in the figure's heart.

Exactly, Sasuke Uchiha.

At this time, Sasuke Uchiha, who was crouching and hiding, could just see through the not so dense branches and leaves, and saw the bright and dreamlike flower sea in front of him, which was completely different from the darkness here, and he was slightly taken aback. .

Konoha, is there such a sea of ​​flowers?

This is no longer a garden, but a sea of ​​flowers!

And his first-class aptitude as a genius made him react quickly, and after a moment of surprise, he immediately reacted.

Yeah……

This should be the location of the Japanese-style log cabin with a garden!

No wonder it ran so fast all of a sudden!

Then, after reacting, he quickly understood why Nara Shikamaru and the others suddenly accelerated and passed through the woods directly.

Obviously, they have already noticed that what they are looking for is just ahead, so they seem so impatient.

Fortunately, there is only one exit on this path, otherwise, he might have lost the three of them because of their sudden acceleration.

At that time, he suddenly realized that after quickly leaving the Konoha Mantou shop, he immediately crossed the open space and entered the woods, but after all, he was following, in order not to be discovered, and to attract the attention of the pedestrians who had already disappeared at the gate. Doubt, it will take a lot of effort.

The speed is naturally much slower than Nara Shikamaru and the others.

And when he entered the woods to covertly move forward, Nara Shikamaru and the others had gone far away, he could barely see them, and when he walked forward and fumbled for a safe tracking path, Nara Shikamaru and the others The sudden acceleration almost made him think that he had been discovered. Under the shock at that time, Nara Shikamaru and the others could no longer be seen in his sight.

In other words, he lost track.

And in this kind of forest terrain, if you lose a ninja or several ninjas, it is difficult to track them down.

Even then he picked up speed immediately.

However, because of tracking and maintaining a certain amount of silence, his speed has always been slower.

If it wasn't for the fact that this path only leads to one place, even if there is a fork in the path, it is still an open space full of various training traces, which is not considered an exit. I'm afraid, he would have really lost track.

Um……

It's time to go back.

Then, after crouching down, looking at the three Nara Shikamaru who seemed to be in a daze, Uchiha Sasuke felt a retreat in his heart.

Anyway, they already knew the location. Since they were looking for this Japanese-style cabin with a garden, there must be information about Uchiha Hirohiko in this Japanese-style cabin.

Come again next time.

Now, with the new information about Haneda Ichiyo, I feel that the information from the steamed bun shop is more direct.

Moreover, Naruto and Sakura were still a little worried when they stared at Haneda Ichiyo.

Besides, this time, I called them, there is no reason for me to leave first.

Afterwards, after thinking about quitting, Uchiha Sasuke's mind flashed such a thought.

Logically speaking, at this time, he should not have left.

However, before hearing the conversation between the hostess and hostess of the steamed bun shop, he might watch here for a while to confirm that Nara Shikamaru and the others did not take anything from here before leaving, so as to ensure that he can get it when he comes next time. complete information.

As for showing up to explore this cabin with Nara Shikamaru now, Sasuke Uchiha never thought about it.

After all, he is not very familiar with Nara Shikamaru, and basically has never spoken to him, but Naruto seems to be quite familiar with this Nara Shikamaru.

And when he showed up, he didn't know what to say or what to do, which only added embarrassment.

Besides, this Nara Shikamaru also had that Ino Yamanaka beside him, and Uchiha Sasuke always felt that Ino Yamanaka was a bit...not easy to deal with.

Moreover, he was actually a little worried about Naruto and Sakura. This Haneda Ichiyo is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He was tossed silently by him on the first day of tracking. He was a little worried that Naruto and Sakura would He will not be discovered by him, and then he will be teased for a while, which will only increase his fatigue.

Now, the Japanese-style cabin is here, and no one will leave long-distance, and Nara Shikamaru and the others are just investigating the strongest ninja, so they should not destroy the information of this Japanese-style cabin.

And this Japanese-style cabin should not look like there are no people in it. Nara Shikamaru may do some inappropriate things because of the investigation, but it will not destroy the things and information in the house.

This is a village after all.

So, he decided to leave.

So……

After making the decision, Sasuke Uchiha stood up slowly, turned around carefully, and was about to leave after a slight sinking.

Then, at this silent moment, Uchiha Sasuke's face flashed a hint of hesitation.

Suddenly, he turned his head and looked at the sea of ​​flowers in front of him and the Japanese-style log cabin that he captured immediately.

Next time, come with Naruto and Sakura.

Then, after watching for a while, such a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

Then, in a flash, there was nothing on the branches.

...

"Why, we didn't find out that there is such a beautiful place in the village!"

And at this moment, when Uchiha Sasuke disappeared, Yamanaka Ino in front of Huahai finally couldn't hold back anymore, and let out a sigh of emotion.

The sea of ​​colorful flowers in front of her eyes, coupled with the dreamy effect of the sun, already touched her most exciting point as a girl and the daughter of the proprietress of the flower shop.

So much so that at this time, she had completely ignored the most critical Japanese-style log cabin behind the sea of ​​flowers.

"Um……"

To this, Akimichi Choji and Nara Shikamaru also reacted slightly, nodded, and nodded in great agreement.

Who would have thought that there would be such a sea of ​​flowers in the fringe area of ​​a ninja village, just like a paradise.

Here, it seems that there are almost two worlds with the village's attention to rational distribution of space and buildings that follow efficiency.

No!

It is a scenery that no ninja village will have.

Except for the natural scenery, every ninja village that has been baptized in the war will not have such an artificial scene.

"Then let's go, it's ahead!"

At this time, Yamanaka Ino finally showed the qualities that a ninja should have. After this sigh, he left first, feeling the wonderful feeling of walking in the sea of ​​flowers, while thinking about the Japanese-style log cabin to explore and go.

"Crack, click, click!"

"Crack, click, click!"

"Crack, click, click!"

And hearing this sound, Akimichi Choji immediately resumed the act of stuffing snacks into his mouth, and, from the beginning, the speed became faster and faster, following Yamanaka Ino.

"Ah……"

At the same time, looking at the two who were walking first, Nara Shikamaru let out a long sigh like a sigh.

Unexpectedly, the first step has already found this Japanese-style log cabin with a garden.

Next, their confidence will definitely increase, and they will definitely make more and more demands in a short period of time.

ahh...

troublesome!

But at this time, in his heart, he began to complain.

Um……

Complaints, everything is going so well!

"Um?"

But at this moment, he began to complain in his heart, and when he was about to step out of the stall, the corner of Nara Shikamaru's eyes flickered, and the whole person stopped immediately.

This is?

Afterwards, he bent down and picked up some soil and broken leaves beside the flowers.

Are there signs of trimming?

And the dirt and broken leaves are all new?

After that, Nara Shikamaru's brows slowly furrowed as he watched the soil and broken leaves picked up.

At this time, the touch of the soil from his fingertips, as well as the fresh and evenly cut broken leaves, were telling him that this garden had just been pruned.

"Hey! Choji, Ino! Wait a minute, someone lives here!"

And since this garden has been pruned by someone, and it still looks like it was just pruned today, it means that there are people living here.

Also, the owner of the house is likely to be nearby.

If you venture into the opponent's house at this time, you will be attacked if you are facing a ninja.

This place is located on the edge of the village, close to the pass outside the village, those who can live here will certainly not be lightly attacked.

They will not show mercy to intruders.

"Wow!"

However, it was very obvious that he said this sentence a little late, and the sound of the door being pushed open, he remembered it at the same time as he spoke.

"The door is open!"

Then, Yamanaka Ino's surprised voice came.

"What did you say, Shikamaru?"

Afterwards, both of them turned their heads and looked at Nara Shikamaru.

Obviously, because they were too excited, they didn't seem to hear Nara Shikamaru's reminder just now.

"That's it for you, don't move!"

At this time, Nara Shikamaru had already stood up, looked at Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji one behind the other, and said helplessly.

Then, he walked away, frowning and squinting while walking, and began to carefully observe everything on the side of the short few steps.

Sure enough, it has been pruned, and the soil has been turned over, and it should be fertilized.

The pruned branches and leaves should also be buried in it.

The people who do these pruning work are very careful, and they should take good care of this sea of ​​flowers.

Otherwise, it is impossible to keep so many flowers and plants lush and neat.

This is a long-term effect, not the extent that short-term maintenance can achieve.

It can only show that there are people living here!

Don't let these two guys mess around!

And in his mind, such a thought flashed through.

"do not move?"

At the same time, Ino Yamanaka and Choji Akimichi looked at Shikamaru Nara who was walking towards him frowning, and blinked their eyes in doubt.

But after all, it didn't move.

The two even took a step back, making way for Nara Shikamaru to see the situation behind the door.

Obviously, he believed in all the judgments of Nara Shikamaru.

"There should be people living here. Is this garden taken care of by someone, or has it been maintained for a long time?"

In this regard, Nara Shikamaru stood still at the door, but did not step through the door hastily, but said to Ino Yamanaka and Choji Akimichi.

"Inhabited?"

Hearing this, the two were slightly taken aback.

"That doesn't mean that the strongest ninja..."

Then, Yamanaka Ino suddenly thought of something and said excitedly.

"Crack, click, click!"

"Crack, click, click!"

"Crack, click, click!"

And Choji Akimichi, who heard this half sentence, started eating snacks faster again, and his whole face seemed to be distorted by some kind of excited emotion.

"Heh... how can it be so simple?"

In this regard, Nara Shikamaru sighed helplessly, interrupted Yamanaka Ino's words, and said.

"Have you forgotten the village's house allocation policy? Unused houses are to be resettled. Since this strongest ninja has been engraved on the memorial tablet, he must be dead. The owner of this house is probably dead. They have changed, even several times.”

Then, he added another sentence.

"So, what do we do now?"

And hearing this sound, Qiu Dao Dingci suddenly slowed down when eating snacks, and asked in a hurry.

Choji Akimichi knew that since there were people living there, he couldn't be too presumptuous.

"Well... now, only..."

In response, Nara Shikamaru took a deep breath.

"Hey! Is anyone there? We have something to find the owner of the house!"

Then, he turned towards the door and yelled!
