"That's a good goal. I like it." Hana applauded Pein.

"So, Hidan-kun, making money is also a very important part."

"I know!" Hidan's voice really became much quieter.

"Deidara-kun, how is your partnership with Afei?" Hana asked.

"It's OK, this guy Afei..."

Before Deidara finished speaking, Afei answered first.

"Senior is really a very good person, although I don't understand the senior's art..."

"Anyway, we get along well..." Deidara was a little speechless. Afei's usual erratic personality made him want to kill him with a pair of scissors.

"Okay, let's stop chatting here, and get ready to start sealing the tailed beasts."

......

Konoha Village.

Tsunade's office.

She lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Shikamaru and Gangzi Tetsu.

At this time, two of the four people in Asuma's class died, leaving only Shikamaru and Gangzi Tetsu alive.

Tsunade looked slightly painful because the order she issued this time was too radical.

Each class had four people, and although the scale of twenty teams was large, the large-scale search for Hidan Kanon and Kakuzu dispersed a lot of combat power, and it was difficult to support each other within 150 kilometers.

Moreover, many people were not even jonin. For a terrifying opponent like Uchiha Kanon, even four against one might be wiped out, let alone four against three.

Moreover, there was no information about the abilities of Kakuzu Hidan and Kanon, so they could only delay time and wait for support for 30 minutes.

It was because of her radical command that Kamatsuki Izumo and Asuma died. After all, she was not mature enough and was not a competent Hokage.

After listening to Gang Zitie's explanation of the details, Tsunade gritted her teeth and said with regret: "This... is that so..."

"That, Hong's side..." Gang Zitie also looked a little sad.

Tsunade took a deep breath. She was the Hokage now and could not lose her composure. So she suppressed her grief and acted as if she was normal and said, "You guys go contact the relevant personnel to hold the funeral."

"As for Hong, I will..."

"No... I will go." Shikamaru interrupted Tsunade.

"I will convey it."

"Captain Asuma, there is something else for me to tell you."

......

When Naruto was developing a new ninjutsu, the three shadow clones began to gather the Rasengan chakra, which surprised Kakashi.

"I see, that's what you thought of."

"Originally, the Rasengan is emitted by the Chakra Releaser and the Form Changer. You..."

Hearing Kakashi understand the principle, Naruto also smiled.

"That's right, just use three of me to change the nature of the wind."

"If one person can't take care of both sides, just split into two people, one looking at the left and one looking at the right!"

"Just share this work!"

Kakashi nodded in approval.

But he also had his own ideas in his mind.

"Speaking of which, this method is only useful for Naruto who has huge chakra and shadow clones."

"Not to mention me, even if Minato teacher comes, this method will not work."

"Perhaps only Naruto and that guy can use this trick..." Kakashi now thought of Kanon, who has a lot of chakra like Naruto.

This method may also apply to her, but after all, Naruto developed this ninjutsu first.

"You are worthy of being the first ninja in unexpectedness, Naruto." Kakashi smiled.

Naruto was confused, and he always felt inexplicable when he saw Kakashi praising him like this.

"I don't know what's going on, but I like you more and more now."

As soon as these words came out, Naruto's three shadow clones were dumbfounded, and a feeling of nausea came over them, instantly causing the spiral shuriken to explode, and Naruto was blown away, and the two shadow clones disappeared instantly.

"What the hell! Don't say such disgusting things all of a sudden!"

"You bastard, you scared me to death."

"The ninjutsu that worked so hard was broken just like that."

"No, that's not what I meant." Kakashi said, approaching Naruto like a gay.

"Don't come over here!"

"Don't come over here!!!"

Yamato sat cross-legged on the ground, watching Kakashi and Naruto's antics, shaking his head helplessly.

"Really, what are those two doing..."

Suddenly, Gang Zitie jumped in front of Yamato.

"A letter."

Naruto and Kakashi were stunned, and saw the communication between Yamato and Gang Zitie in the distance.

"What's going on?" Naruto was puzzled.

After a while, Yamato stood up and said to Kakashi.

"Senior Kakashi, let's get in firstStop training and go back to the village. "

Naruto was immediately dissatisfied, as he was about to develop a new technique!

"What happened?" Kakashi wondered.

But from Yamato's face, he could only see heaviness and sadness, and even cold sweat on his face.

"Mr. Sarutobi Asuma..."

"Killed in action."

Yamato told Naruto and Kakashi all the information he received.

Naruto and Kakashi both widened their eyes, and their pupils kept shrinking. A gust of wind came, blowing Naruto and Kakashi's hair, but a sense of sadness filled Naruto and Kakashi's hearts.

Naruto's eyes kept shrinking, but Kakashi was the one with the most complicated emotions at the moment, after all, Asuma and he were ninjas of the same period.

On the other side of Konoha, Yuhi Kurenai's pupils shrank to needles, watching Shikamaru bowing his head to him and holding Asuma in his hand. The news of Asuma's death came back, and the surrounding voices continued to be noisy.

This strong pregnant jonin woman finally shed tears, and the flowers on her balcony withered together.

In this dim and dark corridor, only Shikamaru with his head down and Hong who was stunned were left.

The next moment, Hong collapsed to the ground in an instant. She couldn't accept this fact and burst into tears on the ground.

Asuma was gone, only she and the only flesh and blood of Asuma in her belly were left alive in the world. She couldn't Accept this result.

She will be a widow, and her child will also face the situation of being without a father. Such an emotional shock finally broke down this strong woman, Kurenai Yuhi.

In front of the Martyrs' Monument of Konoha, Kurenai Yuhi personally placed a bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstones of Asuma and Izumo Kamatsuki. Behind her, all the ninjas of Konoha mourned.

Tsunade was the leader. As the Hokage, she made such a radical command. This time the responsibility lies with her.

Kakashi lowered his head, and Might Guy shed tears He cried loudly, because he used to be in the same class with Asuma.

"Asuma..." Kakashi murmured regretfully.

Beside Naruto, Sarutobi Konohamaru cried loudly. His grandfather, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, was gone, and now his uncle Sarutobi Asuma was also dead.

"Uncle Asuma..."

He was the only one left in their Sarutobi family, and the baby in the red belly.

The two members of the 10th team lowered their heads, and their hearts were also complicated. Ino murmured to Choji: "Where is Shikamaru?"

"Auntie clearly said that he had gone out. "

At this moment, Shikamaru did not attend Asuma's funeral. He did not have the face to face Asuma, nor did he have the face to attend his funeral.

He sat on a rooftop, constantly lighting Asuma's lighter, as if the small fire reflected his memories of Asuma.

In his eyes, everything seemed to turn gray, even the children playing on the street no longer had color.

He walked on the street with his pockets in his hands, passing by the prosperous areas of Konoha and the desolate areas of Konoha.

He walked aimlessly, and suddenly, an aunt in a barbecue restaurant called Shikamaru.

"Shikamaru!"

"Ah, hello."

"Long time no see, have you been busy recently?"

"About the same time."

"Be sure to come when you are free, and say hello to Asuma and Choji for me."

Shikamaru was hesitant to speak, and he felt like something was stuck in his throat. Suddenly, the aunt seemed to remember something.

"By the way! Asuma's debt should be paid."

"Then, that... Asuma..."

"Hmm?" The old lady was puzzled.

"Died in the line of duty." Shikamaru lowered his head and told the old lady this with difficulty.

The old lady who was sweeping the floor dropped her dustpan and broom to the ground, and her pupils shrank suddenly.

"Could it be that the person who was killed by Akatsuki yesterday was..."

The old lady started to cry softly.

"How could it be..."

After that, Shikamaru sat on the steps alone again, watching the afternoon sun gradually turn to dusk, and finally to night.

"Shikamaru, it's almost time for dinner."

"No, I don't have much appetite. "

In the deep night, a crescent moon like a thin hook hangs in the sky, casting a faint silver glow, adding a touch of mysterious poetry to the quiet night.

Shikamaru was still sitting in the yard thinking carefully. At this moment, his father, Nara Shikaku, came out.

Looking at his son, he was a little mature, but not so mature. Facing the departure of a close person, he was more helpless and confused than sad, and then became heavier and heavier in depression.

He also sighed softly.

"Shikamaru, come and stay with me for a while."

So the father and son started playing shogi in the dim, candlelit room.

"Akatsuki..."

"Uchiha Kanon and othersAre his guys strong?" Shikaku asked softly while playing chess.

Shikamaru just gave a perfunctory answer and started to move his chess pieces.

"Then, what should we do?"

Seeing that his son was still silent, Shikaku continued: "If even Asuma can't beat them."

"Are you still going to die?"

"He is really a good man."

"Yeah..." Shikamaru responded with his head down.

"Although he plays chess very badly..."

Shikaku seemed to see the problem with Shikamaru's chess playing, and also asked softly in confusion.

"Is this okay?"

"Don't pick on the opponent's playing method casually."

"No, I'm asking about your plan."

Shikamaru was stunned, looking at his calm expression, and felt a strange feeling for the first time.

"Forget it, anyway, you are not stupid enough to run to die."

"As your father, I am also very relieved. ”

“I don’t want to hold a funeral for my son.”

“You’ve done a great job, and we as parents are very proud.”

Finally, Shikamaru’s expression changed, and he lowered his head, as if there was an invisible anger ready to emanate.

But Shikaku continued to poke the most painful part of Shikamaru’s heart.

“You are smart and talented. Fortunately, the two Uchiha family members are gone. In this way, you must be the pillar of Konoha Village in the future.”

“But Asuma is dead.”

As soon as these words came out, Shikamaru punched the chessboard away, and even the candles went out.

“What do you want to say!” Shikamaru shouted at his father.

“It’s just what I feel in my heart.”

“I’m in a bad mood now, and you keep talking! Anyway, I’m just a useless coward, and I can’t compare to Kanon and Sasuke at all!”

“No.” Shikaku shook his head.

“Then, what is that! "

Looking at his son's broken defense, Shikaku also stood up and looked directly at Shikamaru.

"Vent it out."

"Sadness, fear, anger."

"Vent everything out from your heart."

Shikamaru looked at his father tremblingly, tears sliding down his cheeks, and he clenched his fists.

"Then, take this as a starting point."

Shikaku left the room, leaving Shikamaru alone crying loudly.

And listening to his son crying in the corridor, Shikaku felt very uncomfortable.

"This is something that Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Kanon can do. Shikamaru, you are no worse than them, and you have no reason to hide it in your heart."

"Vent it out, then cheer up..."
