Konoha's Balanced Ninja System

Konoha.

The sky was already getting slightly brighter, but as the rain porch in front of the door continued inward, two figures were still reflected on the shoji door of the house made of logs. It was obvious that the lights in the house had not been extinguished.

Kakashi and Shikamaru sat in front of the desk, frowning.

On the table, there is a portrait of a figure wearing ice crystal armor.

"Let's analyze it from the beginning again. Kakuzu was killed by the guy in the ice crystal armor, and Hiirato also disappeared at that time."

"good."

As soon as Kakashi finished speaking, Shikamaru answered without thinking.

"And then you saw a guy dragging Kakuzu's body off the ground."

"Yes."

Shikamaru continued to answer, "Asuma-sensei and I both saw it at the time. According to the intelligence, the guy who sneaked into the ground was Zetsu of the Akatsuki organization."

"Um"

Kakashi looked at the portrait on the desk and tapped his fingertips lightly, "Then, it was our action to capture the Three-Tails. At that time, this guy also rushed in."

"That's the strangest part too."

Shikamaru also looked at the portrait, "Although that guy's purpose was to save Itachi Uchiha, but"

"But that time is obviously the best time to kill us."

Kakashi then said directly after Shikamaru.

"From this point alone, we can make a bold inference that this guy should not be our enemy, at least not hostile."

"Then why did he rescue Uchiha Itachi?"

Shikamaru asked his question.

"I don't know. It should be for some special interests of my own."

At this point, the thinking reached a deadlock again, because many places did not make sense. The two were silent again, and the lights reflected their figures.

"correct."

Shikamaru suddenly seemed to remember something, "One more thing. After returning from the mission that day, Shimizu Yuko told me that this guy in ice crystal armor made her feel inexplicably familiar."

After saying this, before Kakashi could express his opinion, Shikamaru quickly laughed at himself, "Well, I'd better not use this as a reference. Intuition is a bit forced."

"Do not."

Kakashi interrupted Shikamaru and raised his head slightly, "I believe in the bond between companions."

Seeing Kakashi-sensei say this, Shikamaru had to be more serious, his eyes were clear and powerful.

In fact, he also believed it, because in the special combination of three-person teams like Konoha, it should be said that every member firmly believes in the bond and tacit understanding between himself and his companions.

Just because of very rational reasons in his mind, Shikamaru didn't want to explain himself this way.

"A guy who didn't choose to kill us when he had the best opportunity, but then took action to save our enemies. This is really contradictory."

Shikamaru was talking to himself, but at this time Kakashi did not continue the analysis, but slowly took out another portrait from the side and placed it in the center of the table.

What was clearly reflected in the light was a young man covered in flame-colored armor.

Shikamaru knows what this is. This is the state that Hayate asked the Intelligence Department to describe when Hiiragi used his family's secret technique to channel and merge during his trip to the Kingdom of Wind.

Shikamaru stared at the two paintings, slightly lost in thought.

a long time.

"Actually, there's something I've always wanted to say."

"me too."

Shikamaru looked up in surprise when he heard this, then looked at the portrait carefully again, and began to express his inner thoughts, even though he thought it was actually very unrealistic, "Except for the color, the styles of these two guys are very similar."

"No, I should say it is very similar."

When Kakashi said this, he suddenly reached out and turned off the light. Although it was getting bright outside, the house was still a little dark without lights. The bright light was lost, and the portrait on the table was no longer so clear, especially Color, the portrait suddenly seemed to have turned into two black and white paintings.

Shikamaru was stunned, because when he looked at it again, the two people in the portrait were more similar. Whether it was height, body shape, or even the style of the armor, they were completely the same style.

"This"

Shikamaru was stunned and made a sound.

"Pfft"

Suddenly, without warning, just when Shikamaru felt that he had just discovered something, a stream of blood splashed on his face. What happened was so unexpected that even at this time, Shikamaru knew clearly He saw that Mr. Kakashi in front of him had a short sword pierced through his left chest, and behind the short sword was a figure wearing an ANBU mask.

Kakashi's expression showed pain, indicating that he seemed to be losing his life.

"Kakashi-sensei"

An exclamation came out of Shikamaru's mouth, but before he could take any action, there was a sudden "bang".

Kakashi turned into a ball of blue lightning and exploded.

It's the clone of Lei Dunying

The guy who sneaked up from behind never expected that such a sudden change would occur, and the explosion of the thunder escape caused him to be frozen in place for an instant.

Although the time is extremely short, it is obviously enough.

Kakashi dodged over from the darkness, holding the kunai in his right hand. A cold light flashed, and a bloodstain appeared on the neck of the guy wearing the ANBU mask, revealing the strange cut white clay-like skin.

"thump"

The guy who attacked fell straight to the ground.

Shikamaru was stunned, unable to react to what was happening in front of him.

At this time, a white pustule-like object suddenly grew out of Shikamaru's body, and it instantly became a huge sarcoma.

Shikamaru felt flustered and short of breath, and his face turned red from holding back.

"Crackling"

The electric light condensed in Kakashi's right hand, turned into a blade, and struck at the contact point between the white flesh tumor and Shikamaru like lightning.

Chidori was the first to develop Thunder Release by Kakashi, and he had already mastered it.

The white sarcoma fell off and turned into a puddle of soft mud on the ground.

Cold sweat slowly oozed from Shikamaru's face, because he had never expected that such a critical thing would suddenly happen.

"Swish"

At this moment, several figures flashed in from inside and outside the room, surrounding Kakashi and Shikamaru.

They are all dressed in ANBU costumes

"What's going on why ANBU"

Shikamaru finally came to his senses, and he and Kakashi quickly faced each other back to back. He sighed secretly in his heart. As expected of Kakashi-sensei, he didn't even notice any of the shadow clones he used.

"They are not ANBU, nor are they Gen."

Kakashi motioned Shikamaru to look at the fallen guy at his feet, and soon his pupils could not help but shrink.

Because Shikamaru had noticed the neck of the guy lying on the ground. The wound was white and there was no blood. Let alone an ANBU, he was probably not even a human being.

Shikamaru's expression became a little serious.

Because it was neither ANBU nor Danzo’s roots to attack them so blatantly in their own home, so how did these people break in here so easily?

Shikamaru didn't question him, because the posture of these guys in front of him clearly just wanted to kill him and Kakashi quickly.
