The King of Shadows

Chapter 218 Shogi Game and Ninja Chess Game
"Uh... the lecherous fairy peeped at Tsunade's mother-in-law taking a bath?"

Naruto asked with curiosity on his face, "What is his consequence?"

The surrounding Shikamaru Ningji and Li Yashino Choji all pricked up their ears. It seems that not only women gossip, but also a group of men will talk about these things together.

Xue Shenyue let go of her long hair in the water, and said quietly: "It is said... that Mr. Jiraiya was broken six ribs..."

"Uh..." Naruto twitched.

"Two wrists were broken... Several internal organs were ruptured... I was lying in the hospital for a month..." Xue Shenyue added flatly.

The surrounding Shikamaru and others swallowed in horror.

Naruto frowned, uncertainly: "Sakura, she shouldn't be so violent, right?"

Xue Shenyue smiled meaningfully: "If you don't believe me... then go and take a peek, I will send you to Muye Hospital..."

Naruto:"……"

……

Next to the hot spring pool, there is an elegant quiet room.

popping.

Yukigami and Shikamaru sat opposite each other in front of the chessboard, playing shogi leisurely, with Hinata Neiji watching the battle next to them.

"The current Konoha is like a game of shogi. All the ninjas are chess pieces, but there are only two chess players..." Shikamaru moved the chess pieces and said calmly.

Xue Shenyue smiled, took a move, and said, "Shikamaru, do you want to be a chess player?"

"No, my position has never been Yu, but the assistant next to me..." Shikamaru said seriously.

Xueshenyue raised her eyelids slightly, glanced at him, and then looked at Ningji Hinata: "Thanks to you helping to teach Hinata these three years..."

"It's nothing... After all, you told me..."

Hinata Ningji's pure white eyes showed a strange color: "In the past few years, Mr. Nizuzu's behavior is a bit strange. He didn't stop me from helping Miss Hinata, but isolated the two of us from family affairs. Concentrate on cultivating Miss Huahuo..."

"Then did he restrict your growth, or even threaten to expel Hinata?" Xue Shenyue asked.

Ningji Hyuga shook his head, and said: "He didn't restrict me and Miss Hinata, and he didn't even stop me from wooing other family members..."

Shikamaru and Xueshenyue looked at each other, both of them couldn't help but laugh.

"What a boring politician, he does things smoothly and leaves a way out." Shikamaru shook his head.

Xue Shenyue nodded in agreement: "Both sides are not offended, this move is really beautiful."

When Hinata Neji heard what they said, he couldn't help but wondered: "What do you mean? Why can't I understand?"

Shikamaru moved the chess piece again, and explained to him without looking back: "In the past few years, you should have heard some rumors in Konoha, right? Regarding the discord between Hokage-sama and Nebu Danzo..."

"Well, I don't know why almost all the Junin know about this, and it's almost on the surface." Ningji Hinata nodded.

Shikamaru shook his head and said: "Because everyone can see that the Fifth Hokage doesn't want to hold the position of Hokage for a long time, and everyone knows Danzo-sama's thoughts on the position of Hokage, but Tsunade-sama will never let Danzo-sama do what she wants , which is a contradiction."

"You can hear these rumors, and it's also the news that Danzo deliberately released. He just wants to show his strength to win more people to him." Xue Shenyue continued Shikamaru's words.

Neiji Hyuga frowned: "Then what does this have to do with the Hyuga Clan?"

"Do you think Danzo will let a big family like Hinata go without trying to win him over?" Xue Shenyue said with a smile.

Shikamaru thought for a moment, then took another move before saying: "Your patriarch doesn't want to offend Danzo, and because of Shenyue's relationship, Tsunade-sama once humiliated the Hyuga clan, so he must also fall to Danzo .”

"This..." Ningji Hyuga was a little stunned.

Shikamaru went on to say: "But he doesn't want to implicate Hinata because of Danzo's failure in the future, so he bets on both sides."

Ningji Hyuga suddenly said: "It turns out that he came up with this idea. It would be beneficial for Danzo to win. If he loses, there will be the relationship between Mr. Shenyue and Miss Hinata. The Hyuga clan will not be wiped out."

"That's right... It's because of this that he deliberately worsened the relationship with you." Xue Shenyue said indifferently.

Hinata Ningji looked at his plain expression, but felt a little palpitating.

This person has walked all the way since he was a teenager, and has never surrendered to anyone. Even in the most dangerous and difficult times, he always gritted his teeth and survived.

Would such a person really allow the patriarch's calculation to be easily accomplished?There must be a price to pay...

Xue Shenyue gently moved the chess piece in her hand one step, and said with a smile: "Whether it is our Konoha, the whole ninja world, or even a larger world, it is just a game of chess. Chess pieces are also chess players."

"Then what kind of role do you want to play? The best chess player?" Shikamaru looked at him curiously.

Xue Shenyue's eyes revealed deep thought, but she quickly shook her head and said, "I don't want to be a chess player, I want to be a flag!"

"Hmm... What you're talking about isn't chess... but flags?" Shikamaru fiddled with the chess pieces in his hand, thoughtfully.

Ningji Hinata on the side was confused: "What are you talking about?"

Xue Shenyue smiled, and said: "I want to be a banner, supported and followed by thousands of people wherever I stand. I don't want the power of the sky, and I don't need the wealth of the enemy country. What I always want...is just more people. It's just recognition!"

Looking deeply at the gentle smile on his face, Shikamaru couldn't help but feel his heart tremble, his lips moved but still turned into a sentence: "This game...you lost..."

"Hahaha…"

Xue Shenyue stood up with a smile, shook her head and said, "I may never be your opponent again in shogi..."
