Chapter 117: For the Sand Village, Temari

"Teacher Asuma, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that neither Shikamaru nor Choji responded, Yamanaka Ino had no choice but to ask.

Teacher Asma has been in a daze from the time they gathered just now, and didn't even respond when everyone arrived. Could it be that their task today is to stand in a daze.

"Ah? Ino, I'm fine, I'm fine. Is everyone here? Let's go."

After Asuma came back to his senses and saw that all the three Ino people had arrived, he scratched his head with an embarrassed smile, and then went to pick up the mission.

Team 10 has been accepting D-level missions recently, but this kind of mission only helps Ino and the three of them strengthen their cooperation; the three of them have learned all the basics of ninja, and when they learn the secret technique of Ino, Deer and Butterfly, they can take on C Level task.

It's just that Asuma has been a little absent-minded lately.

"Teacher Asuma"

"We meet again, lazy boy."

Just when Nara Shikamaru was about to say something to Asuma, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind. When he looked back, he found that it was Temari from the Suna Ninja Village, together with the two Suna Ninja genin beside her.

"Don't call people names casually, you'll be in trouble."

Shikamaru scratched his head and said, but the way he raised the corners of his mouth and the words that came out of his mouth were completely different.

"Thank you for your suggestion last time. It saved me a lot of effort and helped a lot."

Temari also smiled and said that she had met Shikamaru many times in the past two years. After all, they were in the same village, and during the mission, this lazy boy also gave her a lot of useful suggestions and helped her a lot. busy.

"It seems that you have also become a ninja. You can't be lazy anymore. This is a gift for you to congratulate you on becoming a genin."

After saying that, Temari took out a unique-shaped ninja tool, handed it to Nara Shikamaru, and continued: "You are so smart, you should easily know what this ninja tool is used for, so I won't teach you. ,whee."

After saying these words, Temari smiled and left.

Nara Shikamaru picked up the gift Temari gave him and looked at it carefully. Then he couldn't help but clicked his tongue and said: "What a troublesome woman, this is obviously a puppet trap. What kind of ninja tool is it? I really need it before leaving." Play with me."

When he finished speaking, he turned around and saw Ino with a scrutinizing look on his face and Choji who was snickering at the side.

Yamanaka Ino couldn't help the curiosity in his heart and asked: "Shikamaru, what happened just now? Is it yours?"

"How is that possible? She's just a troublesome woman who has helped her a few times before."

Shikamaru scratched his head and said: "I came to Konoha from Suna Ninja Village to study. I only said it to reflect Konoha's enthusiasm."

"Stop pretending, you rarely help your classmates, and you were pretty pretty just now. Be honest!"

Yamanaka Ino couldn't help but said, and then took a look at the puppet trap in Nara Shikamaru's hand. She had never seen it before, it should only be found in Suna Ninja Village.

Nara Shikamaru was a little bit poked into what was going on, so he scratched his head and said in a different direction: "I already said it's not true, and instead of being curious about me, why not think more about yourself, Ino."

"What's wrong with me?"

"You seem to rarely talk about Bai Yun Yousuke recently?"

"Hmph, so Shikamaru, if it's about love, you still need to learn from me!"

After Ino Yamanaka finished speaking, he took out a kunai from his ninja bag and gestured to Nara Shikamaru: "I received a gift when I graduated."

In addition to kunai, Yamanaka Ino was actually kissed on the forehead by Shirakumo Yosuke, which made her happy for several days, but she couldn't tell Nara Shikamaru about this.

Nara Shikamaru asked, "What is this, an ordinary kunai?"

"This is the Flying Thunder God Kunai. It has the mark of the Flying Thunder God. If Ino has this kunai, he can ask the magician for help at any time."

Sarutobi Asuma said suddenly. He suddenly thought that Yuhi Kurenai also had a flying thunder god kunai. She once taught Shiroun Yosuke the genjutsu, so he explained to Shikamaru.

He also noticed what happened just now, but he didn't interrupt; it also made Sarutobi Asuma feel a little inferior. Even his students had sweet love, but he failed repeatedly in his pursuit of Yuhi Kurenai.

Now Yuhi Kurenai even secretly bought an umbrella, which may have been used. Every time she thought about this, Asuma felt heartbroken.

"Let's go and take over the mission. After completing the mission today, we will have three days of special training for you."

Asuma suppressed the discomfort in his heart and told Ino Shikamaru Choji and the others that even if he felt uncomfortable, he would still fulfill his duty of leading the jounin team.

Last time Shiakumo Yosuke and Tsunade discussed the decision to win over the Suna Ninja. In fact, it is not difficult to transform the desert into an oasis with the technological means of the Ninja world.

As long as funds and manpower are invested in research, results will be produced soon, plus there are wood escape ninjas in Konoha.

With the cooperation of Mudun Blood Succession and technology, creating an oasis is not a problem.

The oasis is the benefit Konoha gave Suna Ninja this time. As long as there is no problem with Rasa's head, he knows that cooperation with Konoha is the best choice.

Moreover, the Chuunin Examination will be held in half a year, and all countries in the ninja world will be notified in four months. After the exam, war may come, so the Suna Ninja must be notified in advance.

The envoy to the Suna Ninja was Shikaku Nara. He soon arrived at the Suna Ninja Village. After patrolling the Suna Ninja and reporting, he received a reply and took Konoha's envoy to the Kazekage's office.

"Shikaku-kun, what do you want to do in Suna Ninja Village this time?"

Rasa's tone was very polite after seeing Nara Shikaku. After all, the previous peace talks were also with Nara Shikaku.

"It is for deeper cooperation, Lord Kazekage. This is a handwritten letter from Lord Hokage. They want to invite you to Konoha to discuss this matter in detail."

After Nara Shikaku finished speaking, he handed over Tsunade's letter to Rasa.

After the ANBU of Sand Ninja Village handed it over, Luo Sha opened it and started reading.

But after he finished reading, his expression became more solemn, and after being silent for a while, he asked: "Has Konoha decided to start a war?"

"Yes, no matter what, after the Chunin Exam is over, Konoha will go to war with Kumo Ninja and Iwa Ninja. But if Iwa Ninja is willing to modify the agreement, then Konoha will only have Kumo Ninja as its target."

Luo Sha shook her head and said: "I'm afraid that the Iwa Ninja and the Cloud Ninja are already prepared. Once they start a war with the Cloud Ninja, the Iwa Ninja will definitely join in."

Nara Shikaku said with certainty: "At that time, Konoha was already prepared. We have not relaxed in the past two years."

Tsunade and Shiroun Yosuke had held a meeting within the top management before, and almost eighty people supported the war; otherwise, if the Iwa ninja were allowed to lie on Konoha and suck blood, Konoha would be sucked to death in less than five years.

Anyone with a little bit of discernment can see that there is bound to be a battle between Konoha and Iwa Ninja.

"Konoha wants to have deeper cooperation with Suna Ninja, so I hope Lord Kazekage can go to Konoha to discuss it in detail."

After Nara Shikaku finished speaking, Rasa did not answer immediately, but silently thought about the gains and losses.

Although they are very happy to cooperate with Konoha now, if they cooperate at a deeper level, they will have to use more manpower after the war begins, and they may have to send out thousands of sand ninjas.

Seeing that Rasa didn't reply immediately, Nara Shikaku made a heavy offer and said: "Yosuke-dono told me before he came that as long as Suna Ninja is willing to cooperate, he has a way to make the Kingdom of Wind full of oases within five years. "

"What?"

Luo Sha was a little surprised and suspected that she heard wrongly, so she asked again: "Your Excellency Yosuke said that the Kingdom of Wind can be filled with oases? Is it true?"

"Your Excellency Yosuke said so, and he is very sure of it."

Nara Shikaku also didn't believe it, but now he can only follow Shiroun Yosuke's words.

Suna Ninja Village has had a special obsession with fertile land since the first Kazekage. The environment in the Country of Wind is too harsh. The food produced in the country is not enough for the country, so it needs to buy food from outside every year.

That's why the first Kazekage boldly proposed asking for land and money from the sale of the tailed beasts at the first Five Kage Conference.

If Senju Hashirama had been a little crueler, there would only be four major ninja villages in the ninja world.

Therefore, the Sand Ninja Village's desire for an oasis and fertile land is an idea that is hard to change. After all, they were born in the desert, and even green leaves have been rare for more than ten years. How can they not be obsessed with this.

"There are other agreements, but Yosuke-dono didn't go into details. I'm afraid Kazekage-dono will have to discuss them in detail with the Hokage-sama and Yosuke-dono in person."

"In this case, I have to go to Konoha."

Rasa quickly made a decision in her heart, and then said to Nara Shikaku: "Shikaku-kun, please wait in Suna Ninja Village. I need to talk to others."

"I understand, Lord Kazekage."

After Nara Shikaku finished speaking, he was quickly taken to a resting place by the Suna Ninja ANBU.

Rasa also quickly summoned the senior Suna ninja, and after a brief discussion, he knew their intentions. The next day, he led a team of ANBU and Maki and set off for Konoha with Nara Shikaku.

The group of people traveled very quickly, and in less than three days, they arrived at the Konoha Ninja Village.

"Hey, it seems like it's changed a lot?"

Maki was a little surprised when he came to Konoha and said that he had been to Konoha last time, but this time he came to Konoha with a completely new feeling.

Nara Shikaku on the side smiled and said: "The Hokage still attaches great importance to the construction of the village, and said that no one will do anything in Konoha, so feel free to be bold when building."

In fact, most of the decisions were made by Shiakumo Yosuke, but it was Tsunade who made the final decision, and Nara Shikaku also knew this.

"Please come with me, Lord Kazekage. The place to stay is ready, and Lord Hokage has also received the news."

Nara Shikaku originally planned to take Rasa directly to the Hokage Building, but he didn't expect that Rasa wanted to take a rest and meet his daughter first, so Nara Shikaku had to take Rasa to the resting place.

In a courtyard close to the former Uchiha tribe, after settling in Rasa, Nara Shikaku said that he would let the ANBU find his daughter and notify her, and then left.

"Then I'll take my leave first, Kazekage-dono. If you need anything, you can call Konoha's ANBU at any time, or go to the Hokage Building to look for us."

After saying this, Nara Shikaku left here

But before he had taken a few steps, an ANBU stopped beside Nara Shikaku and said, "Nara Jounin, Hokage-sama wants to see you."

"now?"

"Yes."

Nara Shikaku speculated in his mind, but still said: "After I report to the Hokage Building, I will go find the Hokage."

After he said this, the ANBU disappeared using the teleportation technique.

"Temari, how have you been lately?"

Luo Sha felt a little relieved when she saw that her daughter had grown a lot and didn't seem to have much grievance on her face.

In the past two years, he has been busy building Suna Ninja Village, and his concern for Temari was only to send some letters and ask questions, and to send a few ninjutsu scrolls.

"Fortunately, Father, Konoha does have something worth learning from Suna Ninja Village."

Temari said, but she inexplicably thought of the pineapple-headed kid. Although he looked lazy, he could always provide crucial help.

"That's good. It's my father's dereliction of duty to let you take on this matter, but for the sake of Suna Ninja Village, I have to temporarily aggrieve you, Temari."

Luo Sha continued: "So regarding Baiyun Yosuke's mission, how was the contact?"

"this."

Temari was shocked. She suddenly remembered that she still had this mission, but two years had passed and she didn't seem to even know what Shiakumo Yosuke looked like.

After thinking for a long time, Temari lowered her head and whispered after dozens of seconds: "Sorry, father, I haven't had much contact with Bai Yun Yousuke. After I came to Konoha, he seemed to have gone to the battlefield. Later, in the village I rarely see him."

"Is this so? Forget what I said before. This Fire Country general is indeed elusive and my ANBU can't collect any information about him. But now he should stay in the Leaf Village for a long time."

Luo Sha sighed, but he suddenly saw the young Temari, and an idea came to his mind, so he said: "But this afternoon, I may go to visit the general of the Fire Country, Temari, you and me come together."

"Eh? Do I want to go too, Father?"

"Well, I remember that you are about the same age as Shiroun Yosuke. I had this plan when I asked you to come to Konoha. If Temari asked you to marry this Fire Nation general, what would you think?"

"Marry, marry?"

Temari's face was shocked after hearing this. She had never thought of it this way at all, and after hearing about the marriage, another person appeared in her mind.

The room became quiet for a while. After a while, Temari lowered her head and asked, "Father, I don't think much about it."

"Although Sand Ninja Village is a little better than before, it currently relies entirely on Konoha, and Shiroun Yosuke plays a very important role in it."

Rasa suddenly interrupted what Temari wanted to say next.

"The reason why I came to Konoha this time is because Konoha put forward a condition that the Suna Ninja cannot refuse, which is to fill the Kingdom of Wind with oases."

After hearing this, Temari raised her head and asked with surprise and disbelief: "Full of oasis. Father, is this true?"

"After forming an alliance, Konoha should let us see results. If they can really do it, then even if Suna Ninja Village is asked to help Konoha in the war, I am afraid that the senior leaders in the village will not object and will be very supportive."

"Temari, you grew up in Suna Ninja Village. You should know what the people living there want most."

Green plants and water are what the people of Sand Ninja Village need most. Anyone who can transport a cart of live flowers to Sand Ninja Village will definitely make a lot of money.

Temari lowered her head and said nothing, but her heart was already leaning towards what Luo Sha said. As for that lazy pineapple-headed boy, let's just think of youth for once.

"I understand, father, and I will do as you say."

"This is just my wishful thinking, Temari. Maybe Bai Yun Yousuke is interested in other things in Suna Ninja Village. He is, after all, a person who has achieved great things."

Luo Sha shook his head and said comfortingly that although he had never met Baiyun Yosuke, he had been collecting information about him.

A disciple of the Hokage and a general of the Land of Fire. The weak Konoha after the war can recover to this extent. This general has contributed a lot. He has also done a lot of business with Suna Ninja Village, and their finances are strong. Some.

And it seems that they are still the main fighting faction of Konoha Village!

With such ability and ambition, Luo Sha didn't think that the other party could like his daughter, maybe it was just his wishful thinking.

"Don't think too much Temari, even if I want to, the other party may not be willing."

Temari suddenly looked at Luo Sha with a strange expression. Is this a word of comfort for her children?

But she felt a little better. Compared with a stranger, she still liked to be with the person she liked.

"Third generation sir."

After Nara Shikaku said hello, he sat down in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and then said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I drank tea from the Third Generation's house."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and said: "Well, it's not a good tea. If you are interested, Shikaku, you can come here often in the future."

Nara Shikaku picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and then chatted with Sarutobi Hiruzen for a while before getting down to business.

"Shikaku, I need you to help me."

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose; he knew that Nara Shikaku was a smart man, and there was no use beating around the bush with such a person.

Nara Shikaku asked in confusion: "Help. Third generation-sama, what do you mean?"

"Well, I've been dreaming about the future occasionally lately, but the scenes in my dreams are completely different from those of Tsunade and the others, so it's a little bit bad."

Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows, pretending to avoid Nara Shikaku's sight casually, and then continued: "Because it was too real, I wanted to take some insurance measures, but I was misunderstood by Tsunade, and I had a quarrel with her. shelf."

After Nara Shikaku heard this, he immediately remembered Tsunade-sama's angry performance in the office before, and announced that the Hokage could only leave all matters to her.

I finally know some of the reasons.

"Sandaime-sama, those are the bad futures"

"Konoha may be destroyed. However, the images in the dream are intermittent and difficult to connect. I have no way of knowing the specific reason."

Nara Shikaku frowned and said, "It seems to be similar to Master Jiraiya, so it's hard to analyze. But Master Sandaime, what do you want me to do?"

"I want to know about the village."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Nara Shikaku in a serious tone, "Now only you can help me, Shikaku, you are the squad leader of the jounin class, it's easy to know these things, but Tsunade is very wary of me now, so I can only rely on you."
