[Naruto Storyline] Wandering

After that, Akatsuki launched a "hunting operation" on the Ogira area of ​​​​the country of fire. Under the leadership of Hidan and Kadotsu, Akatsuki's troops attacked the Ogira public hospital and the border troops stationed. The army suffered heavy losses in order to protect the transfer of virus strains, experimental animals, and crude vaccine products at the Kyubi Research Center under the Diliang Public Hospital.During this hunting operation, the combat command center of the border forces was also shelled, and Asma was killed in battle.

Tesui Temple was also affected, but since the hunting operation was aimed at destroying the Kyubi Vaccine Research Center in the Ogira area, the troops stationed at Tsingsui Temple and Akatsuki's troops stood in a stalemate for ten hours, and Akatsuki's troops voluntarily withdrew up.

The hunt lasted only three days, but it dealt a major blow to the Diliang area.

The day after the hunting operation ended, Payne of the Akatsuki organization released a video through the Internet, claiming to be responsible for the hunting operation, but he did not indicate the purpose of this operation. However, Akatsuki's attempt to start a war has already revealed something.

Danzo looked at the casualty report and death list of the Diliang border troops, feeling very heavy: "Send a notice to the families of these people on the death list, and then ask the Finance Department to prepare pensions, and transfer a new person in charge to take over Di Liang as soon as possible. Good Border Force." He rubbed his sore eye sockets, handed the list to his secretary and ordered.

The news of Asma's death in battle also spread to Tingshui Temple. Shikamaru squeezed the phone tightly, the intense anger and sadness in his chest made him speechless. He never expected that Asma would die a month ago Please finish the last meal of wine in his life by yourself, and finish the last game of shogi in his life with yourself.

Tears rolled silently down his cheeks.

"Where is Ino? Where did the members of the Institute of Microbiology transfer?" He tried to calm his voice.

"Group leader Ino went back to Konoha with them, and it should be here now." Asma's secretary replied.

"Thank you." Shikamaru hung up the phone calmly, and now the most urgent task is to confirm whether Ino and his party arrived safely, so he dialed the number of the Konoha Institute of Microbiology.However, the Institute of Microbiology told Shikamaru another unfortunate news—due to insufficient protection during the transfer of virus strains, experimental animals, and crude vaccine products, Ino and others were infected by experimental animals and are currently in the military headquarters. Hospital isolation wards receive isolation treatment.

The hope train carrying Ino and other members of the research institute to escape from the Ogira area finally led them to their fate of death.

I don't know what kind of mood Ino felt when he found out that he was infected with the virus—Shikamaru didn't dare to think about it, and he couldn't imagine Ino's desperate mood at that time.

Shikamaru felt chills all over his body, he answered a few words and then put down the phone, the whole person collapsed on the chair as if he had lost his soul.With trembling hands, he took out cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket to ease his emotions, but at this moment, it seemed that even the lighter was against him, and after a few times it failed to fire, he cursed and slammed the lighter He fell to the ground with the cigarette in his hand, and his mind went blank.

Shikamaru closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair. The successive news left him no time to think about other things. His eyes searched for the phone number of the Konoha Military General Hospital. Now he just wanted to confirm Ino's condition. He is aware of the danger of the Kyubi virus. Although the incidence of miracles is so low, at this time, Shikamaru still keeps praying, hoping that Ino will be lucky enough to survive.

The person who answered the phone was Shizune, and Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief—he recognized Shizune. Shizune was the secretary of the former medical minister Senju Tsunade. Fortunately, he was not implicated in this round of purges and was able to continue to serve as the secretary. Job title——"Hi, Shizune Secretary, I'm Nara Shikamaru from Tsunsuiji Military Prison." He gave his name, "I want to ask Ino Yamanaka who is currently living in the isolation ward of your hospital... Her name is Ino. How is the condition?"

Shizune heard about Shikamaru from Tsunade, so she also expressed frank concerns about Ino's condition to Shikamaru: "Ino and the others were infected during the transfer of experimental animals, because the train is a closed Therefore, none of the members of the Institute of Microbiology on the train were spared, but the symptoms of others were still limited to the respiratory system. As for Ino, the virus invaded her central nervous system. She has fallen into a coma and is in a very serious condition. optimism."

"Will she wake up?" Shikamaru asked.

"We can't say for sure, but you have to be prepared to accept any result." Jing Yin said.

"I understand." Shikamaru said in a low voice, "Thank you..." The rest of the words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a word anymore.

Countless afternoon tea parties with homemade snacks and black tea in the past all came to mind at that moment. The sun was warm, and the flowers in the greenhouse in the mountain downstairs filled the whole yard, and the golden dahlias were crowded one by one. unfurl the petals.Shikamaru doesn't have much interest in girls' topics, but every time Ino invites him to the afternoon tea party, he still goes to the appointment on time, because Shikamaru likes to watch Ino talking endlessly, proud and bright, Like dahlias blooming downstairs.

"Hey, Shikamaru..."

"Shikamaru, you are so annoying..."

"Shikamaru, come to my house for afternoon tea on weekends..."

"Shikamaru, happy birthday..."

"Shikamaru, this is my newly designed flower arrangement, does it look good..."

In the dazzling sunlight, Shikamaru seemed to see Ino waving towards him, her face was submerged in the turbulent sunlight and became blurred, and Ino's voice kept ringing in her ears from far and near, Shikamaru Maru reached out to grab Ino's clothes, but the girl's figure in the soft light was so far away from him.

Shikamaru suddenly sat up from the chair and drew the curtains of the office. As the light was blocked from the curtains, Ino's figure completely disappeared in Shikamaru's illusion.He sat down, his heart was beating poundingly, his forehead was already covered with cold sweat, he grabbed the group photo of himself, Ino, Choji and Asma on the desk with all his strength, and stuck the photo to his chest.

After calming down a bit, Shikamaru called Haruno Sakura in the land of water, and he calmly stated Akatsuki's "hunting operation", Asuma's death and Ino's condition to her.There was expected silence and sobbing on the other end of the phone, and Shikamaru was powerless to comfort Haruno Sakura, because there were more important things to consider: "Now that the research progress of the Fire Nation's vaccine has been interrupted, Akatsuki and Fire Nation's All the attention is on you, you have to protect the vaccine."

"I understand." Haruno Sakura said, "When I saw the Kyubi Research Institute that Akatsuki invested in rebuilding in the country of water, I wondered whether Akatsuki intended to overcome the Kyubi plan through cooperation between the two countries. Kyubi virus as one of their biological weapons..."

"Akatsuki expected that the Fire Nation would take precautions against them, so he pre-emptively planned this 'hunting operation'. The Kyubi Research Institute is located in the Water Nation, which is more conducive to Akatsuki's actions, so your current situation is very delicate and very dangerous. Shikamaru reminded her again on the other end of the phone, "But, don't forget your identity and your responsibilities."

"I know." Haruno Sakura said, after learning of her friend's bad news, she didn't want to continue discussing this topic with Shikamaru, after hastily hung up the phone, Haruno Sakura lay down on the bed, hugged the quilt tightly, and buried her face Weeping softly in the quilt.
