New Naruto Sakura no Flower Fan Travel Notes

--------

Both men looked at each other and smiled.After each of them was silent for a while, Shikamaru said to Sasuke seriously: "By the way, I have to thank you very much. If it weren't for your absolute strength and grievance acting, Gaara alone would not be so Yihe can be dealt with easily, so... thank you very much."

After all, he habitually took out a lighter and cigarettes from his pocket.Since Sarutobi Asma died in the line of duty, he actually "inherited" this bad habit of the teacher? !From the disgust at the beginning, to now he is particularly obsessed with the puffing and puffing pleasure brought by tobacco.But he also knows that smoking is harmful to health, but smoking addiction is by no means so easy to quit!Now that Temari is not around for a while, he should take the time to enjoy it!I saw him skillfully lighting a cigarette for himself, and took out another one to hand to Sasuke.

"No, I never smoke." Sasuke immediately refused.He looked at Shikamaru who was holding a cigarette in his mouth with a relaxed face in some puzzlement, paused again, and then said: "And...you don't need to thank me. Because my task this time is to assist you That’s all, this is also the instruction of the Sixth Generation.”

Suddenly, Sasuke remembered about Zuo Liangna's life experience which is still confusing up to now... Could that mysterious tragic woman have something to do with Yihe?So he tentatively asked: "Also... I have been staying with Sakura in the hospital for the past two days, so I don't have the time to care about the follow-up situation. How is the progress now? The Yihe family..."

"Yo, it's rare for you to be so tender..." Shikamaru breathed out a puff of smoke lightly, held the cigarette between his fingers, and said slowly: "The Yihe family—it's over!" He couldn't help showing pleasure, and continued Said: "Not to mention the long-established "Land of the Wind Code", just the "Shayin and Yihe Alliance Treaty", which stipulates that Yihe people are not allowed to murder Kazekage, also justifiably declares Yihe's Oh, the death penalty."

"Hmph, it should be the credit of that 'Princess Yihe'." Sasuke raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "That woman is also a powerful character, she has the foresight; because she is worried that her natal family will murder her husband in the future. , and even their descendants will plan ahead and deploy in advance."

"Hey, this is a woman who lived for love and died for love. A married daughter is the water thrown out, or a son is better..." Shikamaru sighed softly and complained in a low voice.But his last voice was very low, so Sasuke couldn't hear it clearly.When Shikamaru realized that he was getting off topic, he hurriedly said: "Well... you don't know yet, do you? Through the investigation of Sandoku Anbu one by one, and the information provided by Monsa Hai Laozo, many gentry in the Land of Winds The politicians judged the situation, voluntarily surrendered, and successively announced the numerous crimes of the Yihe family to the world."

"Oh? Those aristocratic lords who have been in power for a while, have reported on each other and betrayed each other so quickly?" Sasuke sneered softly, and the contempt and disdain could not be hidden in his quiet black eyes: "But ...their good days will not be too long."

"Although the process is troublesome, it is natural." Shikamaru threw the cigarette butt on the ground, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and crushed it heavily with his feet.The last light reflected in his lacquered eyes turned into a deep ravine when the cigarette butt was extinguished.Then, he raised half of the corners of his lips, and said in a soft voice: "This is what Gaara expected, so he simply pushed the boat along, relying on the words of those betrayers, and according to the two authoritative clauses, dealt with it according to law. The entire Yihe family..."

"It seems that the evidence hidden by Menzuo Hai has become the most terrified weapon for those whose hands and feet are not clean." Sasuke couldn't help chuckling: "Gara's move is really clever. , Everything is deliberately half-covered, the purpose is to make them mess up. And the first guy who loses his composure is... the next Yihe."

"Heroes see the same thing!" Shikamaru said with a smile, "I guess this is also Ebizo's original intention. After all, curing these 'ulcers' once and for all will shake the foundation of Sand Hidden and the Kingdom of Wind. So he treats the most dangerous Ihe's "surgery" is to give other accomplices a long-lasting alarm. But..." Shikamaru paused suddenly, and said: "But... this is also a risky move! It's hard to understand why Ebino chose to start from the biggest The enemy strikes first?"

Sasuke didn't answer, and his heart was full of doubts... Based on the previous events, Ebinozo really hated Yihe.It seems that Zuo Liangna was killed by Yihe, so what could it be?

"Oh, trouble, trouble! Forget it, let's not talk about this." Shikamaru waved his hand hastily, and continued the topic just now: "As for Yihe, first of all, all property is confiscated in accordance with the law. The guilty are imprisoned one after another. , As for the innocent, they will be self-reliant just like ordinary people."

"Hmph, are you still 'self-reliant'?" Sasuke smiled lightly and said, "I'm afraid those pampered nobles who don't distinguish between five grains will have a hard time getting used to it."

"Heh, winners and losers, they lack the strength of ninjas, so they can only accept it obediently." Shikamaru pursed his mouth, with a look of "indifferent": "Gaara will not let go, In the past few days, he has convened the nobles and dignitaries of the Kingdom of the Wind, and held several consultation meetings. After various mediation and deployment, it was finally determined that the oil and gas resources that originally belonged to the Yihe family were contracted to the Kingdom of the Wind according to their geographical distribution. Several emerging investors."

"Investor?" Sasuke couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Shouldn't the state control and manage such extraordinary mineral resources as oil and natural gas, so as to ensure the smooth operation of the economy?"

"Haha, as expected of you!" Shikamaru laughed.He squinted his eyes again, and said in a low voice: "Of course, Gaara thinks the same as you. If the Land of Winds produces a few more 'investors', wouldn't that mean training another 'second generation of Yihe'?" , "Three generations of Yihe"? "

"Oh? From this point of view, those 'emerging investors'—" Sasuke understood, hooked the corners of his lips, and said slowly, "Should... have a lot of background, right?"

"Well... Actually, it can't be called 'great background', but those people are the confidantes that Gaara has been secretly cultivating in the past few years." Shikamaru explained: "In addition, the establishment they established Small businesses can be said to be...a kind of 'mixed system'. Because Gaara has specially selected emerging businessmen like them who are weak but not lacking in innovation; The injection of national assets from the Land of Winds has allowed the company to operate in a standardized manner under the supervision of Sand Yin..."

"Heh, you are from 'Sand hidden' for a while, and you belong to 'Kingdom of the Wind'..." Sasuke shook his head lightly, with a gloomy look in his eyes: "It seems that the current ninja village of Sand hidden is the one of the five major kingdoms. Among them, he was the first to overthrow the regime of the daimyo system openly and cleanly, right? And now Gaara Sandataki is the real master of the Kingdom of the Wind and Sand Hidden.”

"Yes, this is also an inevitable trend in the development of the ninja world system in the future." Shikamaru nodded, and said: "That is - the daimyo system will disappear completely!"

"Disappear? I'm afraid that in other countries, this is still a long and arduous process. Especially in some weak countries, their internal systems are even more corrupt and dark!" Sasuke couldn't help frowning, and said: "The disappearance of the sand is just a coincidence. At that time, Yihe can be brought down by means of express laws and regulations."

"Your analysis is indeed reasonable, but the future... must be brighter." Shikamaru stared fixedly at Sasuke whose complexion changed slightly, then smiled lightly, touched the back of his head, and said, "As you said , the more powerful the country, the best among the five major countries such as Konoha, in the early Warring States period, the shadows of the ninja village had gradually emptied the real power of the daimyo who had a solid foundation, so that the national system took on a new look and the country became richer powerful."

"Hmph, but not all countries can be so...'lucky' like Sand Hidden this time?" Sasuke couldn't help raising his sword eyebrows, and said with a sneer: "I don't know when your Konoha will be able to Make a 'Glorious Revolution' of learning from past mistakes and avoiding future ones, curing diseases and saving lives..."

"Hey—'our Konoha'? Sasuke, you don't have to be so duplicity, right?" Shikamaru smiled quietly, and said softly to Sasuke who no longer responded to him: "Actually... I probably... can also 'Guess' some of the resentment and grievance in your heart." He looked at Sasuke whose eyes had been fixed on him, sighed softly, and said, "Please trust us! And Six Daime, he Since taking over, he has been working hard and deliberating on the establishment of the next leadership team; he also often "smiles" with those "old-fashioned" people, and it is usually very tiring."

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't target you and Kakashi." Sasuke's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "It's just... I still hate those old things!"

"Haha, you are still so upright." Shikamaru chuckled lightly: "But...Sasuke, I still want to tell you from the bottom of my heart—the future Konoha cannot be separated from Naruto, nor can it be separated from you! Don't Because of those dirty and bloody history, and certain "old antiques" of conformity, and lived up to your great age and outstanding talents."

"Tch, if I really don't want to meddle in Konoha's affairs... Then this time, I've already traveled around the world, why do I need to accompany you to act?" Sasuke snorted coldly, and said: "Besides, I will Continue to guard Konoha in the dark, not only because of Naruto and Sakura, but also..." Suddenly, Sasuke seemed to see that handsome man with long black hair reappearing in front of his eyes, his heart felt sour, and he stopped talking.

Shikamaru tactfully didn't ask further questions, even though he still had doubts, he was very relieved to see that Sasuke still had feelings for Konoha.In order to break the silence at this moment, he looked around again, and then said to the thoughtful Sasuke in a low voice: "By the way, two strange things happened recently, let me tell you about the first one first." .”

Sasuke immediately lifted his spirits, because he seemed to have a premonition of some uneasiness and weirdness from Shikamaru's fluctuating lacquered eyes...

"The day before yesterday, in a desert in the northeast of Sagakure—" Shikamaru frowned as he spoke, and paused, "Ihezuo's body...was found in the Anbu of Sagakure."

"Dead... dead?!" Sasuke exclaimed in shock.He quickly regained his composure, and with his remaining right hand he firmly grabbed the corner of his clothes, making the wrinkled folds as gloomy, dense, and thick as the clouds between his brows...

"My initial reaction was even more intense than yours now!" Shikamaru said, resting his chin with one hand, "I can't believe that that scheming man could die so easily. He was in' He showed us kindness in the Glorious Revolution and helped us expose Ihmud's conspiracy. After gaining our trust, he tricked us into going to Ihmud's mansion under the guise of rescuing Sakura; Some kind of white candle of benzoin, let us lose the power of resistance, and then ordered the puppet 'scorpion' to attack us...Although it is just some indecent means, it is also deliberate and calculating every step of the way!"

"Damn it! Those white candles really have a lot to say!" Sasuke couldn't help but hit his thigh with his fist. After a pause, he stared intently at Shikamaru who had the same dignified expression, and asked in a low tone: "That guy...how did he die?"

"It's troublesome, it's just... I can only describe it as...'horrible', maybe...it's also 'five horses'." Shikamaru stared at Sasuke, who was frowning more and more, and said in a cold voice: "Except for the whole body, it's a" Apart from falling apart, he has no face..."

"You...what the hell are you talking about?!" Sasuke felt disgusted for a while, so he said angrily, "What do you mean by 'horrific'? 'Divided into pieces'? 'Torn apart'? And... still 'faceless'? !"

"About his horrific death, I will tell you later, and... that is also a major doubt! However, what is really more creepy is——" Shikamaru gasped, and whispered Said: "As you can imagine, at first, it was impossible to identify whose... body it was. Because it was extremely unsightly, because... it was very rotten..."

Sasuke seemed to have heard something wrong, so he couldn't help staring and said: "But the attack on our mansion in Yihe happened only a few days ago; and the temperature these few days is not so high..."

"Yeah, if it weren't for the eye-catching white hair, and even the DNA identification..." Shikamaru shook his head with some nausea, and said, "No one would have thought that it would be Yihezhuo!"

"So—" Sasuke narrowed his dark eyes slightly, and said quietly, "Is it a 'game within a game'?"

"That's right. After the forensic examination, it is preliminarily speculated that the time of death is at least three weeks." Shikamaru stared at Sasuke who was a little stunned for a moment, and continued: "According to the fact that we came to Sand Hidden this time, it was less than a week ago." Time, that is to say—" He took a deep breath, and said slowly: "All along, the Yihezhuo we have seen is fake..."
