Naruto: My Own Wind

Coming out of the Hokage's office, Nara Shikamaru looked bitter and resentful.

As a good friend, Akimichi Choji, seeing Shikamaru's behavior, gave up the potato chips in his hand and put his hand on his shoulder, "Shikamaru, you think the mission of the fifth generation is very difficult."

Nara Shikamaru folded his hands behind his head, looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, and said helplessly, "It's more than just difficult..."

Before Shikamaru could finish, Yamanaka Ino turned around and said with a hint of complaint: "Yes, according to what Senior Shizune said, with so much information, how long will it take to finish looking it up?"

"Ino, don't complain. The Fifth Hokage assigns us tasks, which shows his trust in us, so just do our best to complete them." Sakura Haruno said with narrowed eyes.

"Oh! My God! I hate facing a pile of documents the most." Yamanaka Ino held her head, fear in her eyes.

"There's no use getting annoyed, annoyed! You just have to do it honestly." Haruno Sakura patted Ino's shoulder with a playful expression on her face.

"Ah! My fate!" Yamanaka Ino could only utter the lament of the common people.

Seeing Ino's sadness, Akimichi Choji just smiled silently. Seeing that Shikamaru was still looking up at the sky, he took out the potato chips again and handed them to Shikamaru's mouth, "Where are we going now? Home, or..."

"The base is gone." Nara Shikamaru took the potato chips with his hand and stuffed them into his mouth.

"What? Shikamaru, going now?" Seeing Shikamaru's serious look, Yamanaka Ino covered her face with her hands, looking as if she had lost all hope in life.

"At this time?" asked Haruno Sakura.

"Well, I want to go and take a look at the scene." Nara Shikamaru put one hand in his pocket and took the potato chips with the other hand. "Instead of looking at those old materials, it's better to go and take a look at the scene. Maybe we can find some clues."

"Come on, Shikamaru, the Anbu must have searched the scene thoroughly. What clues can you expect if you go there now?" Yamanaka Ino said dissatisfiedly.

"Seeing is believing."

"Ino, you'll be right if you listen to Shikamaru." After saying that, Akimichi Choji grabbed a handful of potato chips and stuffed them directly into his mouth.

Upon seeing this, Yamanaka Ino sighed once more, then hung her head and lowered her shoulders, looking resigned to her fate.

Haruno Sakura naturally had no objection, because Nara Shikamaru was a Chunin.

Arriving in front of the towering old tree, Akimichi Choji looked around and sighed, "I never thought that the Root base would be built here."

"Yeah, this is too hidden." Haruno Sakura agreed.

Nara Shikamaru turned around twice and then walked inside without saying a word.

Seeing this, Akimichi Choji followed in after finishing the last potato chip.

"Come on, Sakura, let's go in too." Yamanaka Ino shook her head and called Haruno Sakura to join her.

Haruno Sakura nodded.

Just as the two women reached the entrance, a whoosh sounded and another person appeared beside them.

When I turned around, I saw it was Mitarashi Anko.

"I say, Senior Hongdou, could you please not show up suddenly? You're scary, really scary." Yamanaka Ino patted his chest, looking like you scared me.

"Hey, I'm just in a hurry." Mitarashi Anko smiled slightly, "By the way, what are you doing here?"

"Ah... the Fifth Hokage assigned me to look up information." Yamanaka Ino answered weakly.

"Looking up information?"

"What do you mean by looking up information? It means helping Senior Shizune find traces of the murderer." Haruno Sakura explained.

"The murderer?" Mitarashi Anko raised her eyebrows, "Any clues?"

"Senior Hongdou, we haven't even gone in yet, how can we have any clues?" Yamanaka Ino spread her hands.

Just as Mitarashi Anko was about to speak, the voice of Akimichi Chouji was heard from inside.

"Ino, Sakura, hurry up and catch up."

"Hongdou-senpai, we are going in, you come..."

"I want to go to the scene and take a look." Mitarashi Anko frowned, looking like she was worried about something.

"That's great. We want to go too. Let's go together."

It was still the same room filled with smoke and fire, but the corpse on the ground had been carried away, leaving only the pitch-black ground.

Mitarashi Anko walked around the room twice but didn't find anything wrong, which made her brows, which had been furrowed since she came in, finally relax.

"Shikamaru, did you find anything?" Haruno Sakura couldn't help but ask.

"No, it's too clean." Nara Shikamaru's eyebrows gathered together.

"See, I told you, it's useless even if you come." Yamanaka Ino spread out his hands, with an expression that said you should just listen to me.

Akimichi Chouji didn't say anything, just stared at Shikamaru.

"Hehe... In fact, not discovering anything is the biggest discovery." Nara Shikamaru put his hands in his pockets, and his solemn expression eased slightly.

"Oh, why do you say that?" asked Haruno Sakura.

"When I came in, I asked the guard. It is said that all the people who came in and out of here today died in this room, except for those who are still alive."

Nara Shikamaru's words made Mitarashi Anko's eyebrows, which had been relaxed, tend to gather again.

“I don’t know much about the Root, but I think it’s similar to the Anbu, it’s not a place you can come to whenever you want.

So how did this murderer avoid the sight of the guard, the barrier here, and all the root members and arrive here safely? " Nara Shikamaru came to the broken desk, suddenly squatted down, closed his eyes, and made Nara Shikamaru-style thinking movements with his hands.

"It starts again." Yamanaka Ino murmured.

"This is?"

Seeing that Mitarashi Anko was a little confused, Haruno Sakura whispered in her ear, "Anko-senpai, this is Shikamaru's unique way of thinking."

Unique?

Mitarashi Anko looked at it and nodded. At least it was the first time she saw it.

The room fell silent as Nara Shikamaru entered thinking mode.

Because no one dared to speak, for fear of disturbing Shikamaru's thoughts.

After a while, Nara Shikamaru opened his eyes and slowly stood up.

"Shikamaru, who is the murderer?" Yamanaka Ino asked hurriedly.

Although the others didn't ask, they looked at him anxiously.

Especially Mitarashi Anko, who was so anxious that she almost grabbed Shikamaru by the collar and interrogated him.

"How would I know who the murderer is? I just vaguely guessed how he got in." Nara Shikamaru was also helpless.

I am not a god and I don't have any ability to predict the future. How can I know who the murderer is without any clues?

"How did the murderer get in?" asked Mitarashi Anko anxiously.

"Two hypotheses." Shikamaru Nara pointed a finger and said calmly, "Suppose the murderer is someone from our village.

Because the entire Konoha Village also has a barrier. If outsiders do not register, it is okay for ordinary people, but if it is a ninja, the barrier class will find it immediately. "

"But there is no news from the barrier class, so you think the murderer is someone from the village." Haruno Sakura's face was very solemn.

"You can say that. I've said before that there is a barrier here. Even for the villagers, not everyone can enter or leave, unless they..."

"One of our own!" Haruno Sakura answered quickly, but a puzzled look appeared on her face, "But why would he do this?"

"Hehe... This is just a hypothesis within this hypothesis." Nara Shikamaru raised the corner of his mouth, "There are more than twenty corpses here.

If you want to rely on one person, I don't think there are one or two people in the whole village who can do it."

"Shikamaru, you mean more than one person?" asked Akimichi Choji.

"Anyway, I can't think of anyone who can do this on his own." Nara Shikamaru spread his hands, "Unless it's the Kage of the Five Great Villages, but that's impossible."

"A group of people, an organization?" Mitarashi Anko muttered to herself.

Nara Shikamaru held up two fingers, "The second hypothesis is that the murderer is not from the village.

So, the question is, how can the murderer enter and exit freely without being discovered by the barrier class? "

"There is a spy!" Yamanaka Ino frowned, an angry expression on her face.

"Almost. Besides, there is more than one spy."

"What? More than one?"

"Of course, the death of more than 20 elite ninjas at once cannot be caused by just one or two people." Haruno Sakura rolled her eyes at Akimichi Chouji and clasped her hands together, "Then, let's go check it out now.

If anyone has been investigated within the past month, then he could be a spy."

"One month? Isn't it two years?"

"Idiot! If you act like an Anbu for two years, you won't even have a bone left."

"Broad Forehead, how dare you scold me?"

"Jingyezhu, you are stupid and you blame others?"

"Broad forehead!"

"Well Boar!"

Seeing that the two women were about to fight, Nara Shikamaru had no choice but to shout and look up some information, causing the two women to snort at each other and turn away.

And Mitarashi Anko also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself that it seemed that her premonition was not accurate.
