Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

"The above is all the results I got."

Looking at Choji Akimichi and Ino Yamanaka who were already in a daze, Nara Shikamaru slowly put down the scroll of the command book, glanced away, and quickly checked the other scrolls on the desk to confirm that there were no more scrolls left. After anything of value, he opened his mouth and concluded his series of inferences.

Now, that's all he can figure out.

After all, intelligence is limited.

It was already his best effort to be able to infer these.

Then it is impossible for him to deduce anything more detailed, this is already his limit.

It is also the limit of what they can deduce from the information they have obtained.

"So, according to your inference, this Taki Chiba should be the candidate for the Fifth Hokage, and this Hyuga Yukina is the deputy commander of the defense force, so he should be the candidate for the future defense force commander?"

But at this time, hearing Nara Shikamaru finally came to a conclusion, Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji looked at each other, but there was a feeling of not knowing what expression to show on their faces.

Nara Shikamaru's speculation, and the fact that Hyuga Yukina was the deputy commander of the defense force at a young age that they knew before, is absolutely subverting common sense and making people unable to react, or in other words, making people unable to calm down for a long time Shocking thing.

What Xu knew all of a sudden was too unbelievable, and the shock was too strong. At this moment, they seemed to be a little accustomed to this kind of information.

If it was before, they heard that Taki Chiba was not only a hero, but also a candidate for the fifth generation of Hokage. According to Shikamaru, he was not only a candidate but also the only candidate. This kind of thing was enough to shock them to react again cannot.

However, now, with Hyuga Yukina's front car, the reaction of the two of them at this time, although it is still difficult to react, is much better than the previous fixed appearance.

It seems that both Ino and Choji have begun to accept the past that has been sealed in this Japanese-style log cabin.

No!

Not the past, but a dusty legend.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have imagined that such a person lived on the edge of this village.

Just teenagers are already the pillars of the village, and it has been determined that the future village will be handed over to them.

And at this time, looking at the appearance of the two, Nara Shikamaru put away all the scrolls one by one, and did not respond immediately, but such a thought flashed through his mind.

To be honest, Nara Shikamaru's mood at this time is the same as that of Akimichi Choji and Yamanaka Ino.

Everything he discovered just now also subverted his common sense, and the shock of overturning common sense is still reverberating in his heart at this moment.

In a sense, he tidied up the scrolls in this way, and there was also a sense of calmness in it.

"Yes, I'm afraid, the remaining Uchiha Hirohiko is not a simple character."

Then, after sorting out the scrolls, Nara Shikamaru turned around, took a slight breath, and said.

"how do you know?"

In this regard, Akimichi Choji asked almost subconsciously.

"No, no! I haven't calmed down yet. What is the secret you said that we shouldn't touch? You said that, among the things we investigated, no, it was the matter we investigated. It’s an untouchable secret, right?”

But in the next second, without waiting for Nara Shikamaru to say anything, Yamanaka Ino suddenly seemed to think of something, and started to ask.

"Yes, there are indeed secrets that we cannot touch."

In this regard, Nara Shikamaru nodded and said in affirmation.

"Now, what we know is that Taki Chiba and Hyuga Yukina should be the same as us, or have some similarities with us. They should also be taught by the same teacher, and have experienced a series of things we are now. Things that cannot be speculated will live here together, and among them, one of them is a candidate for Hokage, the other is the deputy commander of the defense force, the inevitable commander of the future, and the inevitable future commander of the defense force , or Hinata’s clan, don’t you think there’s something deliberate about it?”

Then, he looked at Choji Akimichi again, and answered.

"Deliberately?"

And hearing this sound, Akimichi Choji and Yamanaka Ino looked at each other again, and after looking back at Nara Shikamaru, they said in unison.

"Yes, deliberately. Originally, the Hyuga clan never served as a village official. This unspoken rule has not changed since the Hyuga clan joined Konoha. Why did one Hyuga Yukina break this rule, and after breaking it , is directly the deputy commander of the defense force, such a pivotal position, and the future commander is none other than her, and it just so happens that this Hyuga Yukina is also a teammate of Taki Chiba who is a candidate for Hokage. Do you think this is too much of a coincidence?"

In this regard, Nara Shikamaru looked at the two friends and said.

"What's the coincidence?"

And hearing this sentence, Akimichi Choji asked almost subconsciously.

"It's a bit of a coincidence, but... is there any problem here? It just so happened that the same teacher taught two geniuses, and they happened to be attracted by Hokage. Isn't that impossible?"

At the same time, Yamanaka Ino also spoke.

"Indeed, it's not impossible. But, you forgot the Hyuga clan. If Hyuga Yukina is not Hyuga's clan, but just an ordinary genius ninja, then this is indeed a coincidence, but Hyuga Yuki Nai is the main family of Hyuga, and would not be able to take up village positions. This is a tacit understanding between Hinata and the village. For Hinata, it is impossible to allow the main family to take up village positions. The rules of thousands of years cannot be broken overnight. The Hyuga Clan has always been conservative and self-restrained, and from the standpoint of the village, it respects Hyuga, and does not arrange any village duties for the Hyuga Clan’s main family, which is also a rule for thousands of years. broken.

At that time, the Fourth Hokage should still be alive. Although the Third Hokage retreated to the second line, it was still a Hokage-level force. With both Hokages present, there was no need for the village to arrange for Hyuga Yukina to become the deputy commander of the defense force. , No matter how urgent the situation is, with two Hokages around, Hinata Zoujia would not have to be the deputy commander of the defense force, so as to become the commander of the defense force. And if it is an emergency that neither Hokage can solve, then even if Hyuga Yukina becomes the deputy commander of the defense force, it is impossible to recover. "

To this, Nara Shikamaru shook his head and retorted.

"So, you mean?"

Hearing this, Yamanaka Ino frowned slightly and spoke.

However, in the words, he already agreed with Nara Shikamaru's explanation. Think about it, when my teacher was young, the third Hokage and the fourth Hokage were there, and the fourth Hokage was still the golden flash that turned the tide of the battle by himself However, if they have all resolved the situation, it will not help to appoint a Hyuga clan as the deputy commander of the defense force.

Totally unnecessary.

Her own thinking is not wrong, but she ignored both Hinata and the village, this Hyuga Yukina has a more special layer.

"I'm afraid, this Hyuga Yukina is the road paved by the two Hokages for Taki Chiba."

To this, Nara Shikamaru said.

"Paved road?"

And hearing this sound, Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Dingji were all taken aback.

"At that time, the two Hokages were already paving the way for Taki Chiba, that is to say, this Taki Chiba was not only favored by everyone, but also had great popularity, and his ability was so strong that the two Hokages had already made up their minds at the same time. , and the two Hokages have extreme confidence in him."

Hearing this, Nara Shikamaru spoke again.

But this time, there was a little disbelief in his tone.

Although such an inference was made, Nara Shikamaru still felt a little unbelievable in his heart.

He doesn't know what kind of person the Fourth Hokage is, but from his father's attitude towards the Third Hokage and some fragmented private discussions, Nara Shikamaru knows that the Third Hokage is never a careless person.

Moreover, he is still a very cautious old man.

It's unbelievable that this Taki Chiba can make Sandai Hokage like this.

"Is that so... that's right!"

But upon hearing Nara Shikamaru's explanation, Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji's eyes flashed, and they all suddenly understood.

"Shikamaru...you..."

Then, in the next second, before they had time to be surprised, they unconsciously looked at Nara Shikamaru in front, with a strange look on their faces.

Aimed at the strange color of Nara Shikamaru itself.

"What... what's wrong?"

Nara Shikamaru, who was still immersed in a kind of unthinkable, was slightly taken aback by the two strange and considering gazes that came over suddenly, and said a little unnaturally.

"Well... you know a lot!"

And hearing Nara Shikamaru's slightly unnatural words, Akimichi Choji thought for a while, seemed to organize his words, and spoke.

"Yeah! It feels like you are no longer a low-level ninja, you are better than those high-level ninjas, no, maybe you know more than those elite high-level ninjas."

At the same time, Ino Yamanaka did not hesitate to praise him.

Know... so much?

Upon hearing this, Nara Shikamaru was slightly taken aback, apparently not expecting the two of them to say such words.

Have it?

These are just a few words from my father. I just heard a lot, so I learned something.

Then, he examined himself.

Um?

Strange!

Why dad's usual scaly claws are now the way I deduce this matter, this Taki Chiba and Hyuga Yukina.

Then, a look of surprise appeared on his face, as if he had discovered something that he hadn't discovered before.

Did that troublesome father do it unintentionally, or...intentionally?

Afterwards, a deep question burned in his heart.

It must be a coincidence.

Dad kept tight-lipped about this matter, if he really wanted to let me know about this character, he could tell me while he was drunk, and pretend to be drunk afterwards, don't believe the nonsense, etc.

Besides, since Teacher Asma mentioned this Taki Chiba, there is still some room for turning around Taki Chiba's taboo.

Dad needs to keep it secret.

But you can also choose to tell me, just don't leak it.

However, soon, he gave himself an answer.

"It's normal."

Then, thinking of this, Nara Shikamaru blinked and said with a trace of uncertainty.

"So, what does this have to do with the untouchable secret?"

However, Choji Akimichi and Ino Yamanaka did not linger on this matter, but turned the topic to the question at the beginning.

That, the untouchable secret.

"About this untouchable secret, it starts from the fact that Taki Chiba's deeds have not been handed down. At first, I thought that Taki Chiba's popularity was too high, and his death would cause a series of bad things. At that time, the Third Ninja World War had not yet ended, so it could stabilize the morale of the army."

Regarding this, Nara Shikamaru didn't bother much, and said straightforwardly.

"However, now that Hyuga Yukina has appeared, I feel that this matter may not be the case. If Taki Chiba's expectations are too high, it is necessary to prevent the spread of his death and affect the morale of the entire village in the war. Then, why didn’t this Hyuga Yukina leave any deeds? Since she can become the deputy commander of the defense force, the future commander of the defense force is such an important figure, and even, it may be that the village has broken through thousands of years and the Hyuga clan. The person you want to win over must have some earth-shattering achievements. Even if there is no earth-shattering, there are many deeds of success and fame. Why hasn't her deeds been handed down? Her popularity cannot be the same as Taki Chiba, if she has the same People hope, then her death in battle will definitely cause a huge negative impact that the village cannot control. After all, the two most dazzling new stars, the ninja who entrusted Konoha's future, are dead. This kind of blow is basically not relying on manpower. It can be eliminated, but it is impossible to control the spread of their deeds, even the village cannot do it!"

Later, Nara Shikamaru added: "So, it is impossible for Hyuga Yukina's popularity and prestige to be on the same level as Taki Chiba, and it may even be several grades lower. Well, since it is several grades lower, then, no It may cause irreparable impact, since she is the deputy commander of the defense force, and she is also from the Hyuga clan, her deeds will inevitably be passed down as a hero!"

"However, it has not been handed down now..."

And hearing this sound, Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji frowned at the same time and murmured.

"Ah! Among them, someone covered up all of this!"

Then, all of a sudden, the two raised their heads, their pupils widened suddenly, and said suddenly.

"That's right, this is a secret we can't touch. There is something else hidden about the deaths of these two people! Their deeds may have been erased!"

In this regard, Nara Shikamaru said decisively.

"The only way to erase the deeds of these two people is..."

Afterwards, he looked at the two of them, took a deep breath, and spoke again.

In an instant, the faces of Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji suddenly flashed with horror, and their faces turned pale!

It can only be...

high level!

Even, Hokage!
