Red sand dust

In this foreign country thousands of kilometers away from home, father and son rarely took time to talk and play two games of shogi. Nara Shikamaru, who was worried about something, did not focus all his experiences on the competition in front of him, so he simply The earth was defeated.

Nara Shikaku, who was a little unhappy, muttered a few complaints, cheered up, and left.

Nara Shikamaru, who was alone again, drank hot tea, ate some dry food, and opened the window to let in some cool breeze, finally feeling much more comfortable.

"Being born in Konoha Village is both a blessing and a roadblock! 』

Take stock of how many competitors there are from top to bottom?

Tsunade and Jiraiya haven't retired yet. Their father, Shikaku Nara, has a few outstanding people in his generation, and there are also many supporters of his teacher Asuma Sarutobi. The legacy of the Third Generation is still very rich. , the Sarutobi family is not weak at all, and has produced many talents.

As for peers, regardless of the defected Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuga Neji are more popular. The inconspicuous Aburame Shino probably has no idea of ​​becoming Hokage. Inuzuka Kiba is interested in competing for the Hokage position, but he has high vision and low hand. He is not much of a threat.

There are also juniors who should not be underestimated. The active Sarutobi Konohamaru is favored by many people.

If we cannot establish our position in the next few years, there may be more and more competitors and more and more trouble.

Since the Nara family will not take risks for Nara Shikamaru's personal ambitions, the Akimichi family and the Yamanaka family certainly can't count on it. Don't think that because of the fame of "Ino Shikamaru", you think that they are both prosperous and destructive, and they are all in the same spirit. branch relationship.

"To win the support of influential individuals, you don't have to work hard to win over the ninja clan. 』

The future of Konoha Village will be dominated by the most numerous and influential civilian ninjas. Even the most talented ninjas must rely on the power of civilian ninjas if they want to make a difference.

Referring to the current situation of Sunagakure Village, we know that this is the general trend. Even Daimaru, the identified opponent, did not follow the traditional path and turn himself into the leader of the faction, but took a more influential line close to the people.

Promote talents from the grassroots and even outsiders, establish a new system, and impact the original order.

Take the Kurama family for example. There are many such down-and-out ninja clans wandering around the edges of Konoha Village. Most of them are not as lucky as the Kurama family and gradually disappear from everyone's sight.

These little ninjas are inconspicuous individually, but together they are a powerful force.

There are also local forces within the Country of Fire that are friendly to Konoha Village and are willing to send manpower to support them. For example, Morino Ihiki is not only not a ninja in Konoha Village, but is not even a civilian family, but a branch of the mountain noble family. .

"Anyway, let's sit up and deal with the matter of the long-distance combat coalition unit, and then discuss it with Choji and others!" 』

The top priority must be to have a good communication with Temari and ask her to cooperate with him in his actions. However, when he thought that the boyfriend of this female sand ninja was that Daimaru, he felt unable to do anything.

Recalling that after the mission failed and his crying appearance was clearly seen by the other party, Nara Shikamaru felt that his prestige in her mind was gone.

"That's tricky. Wouldn't it be better to hold a competitive competition within the team and rebuild your image after defeating her?" 』

…

The "Snake" team, which had been silent for a long time, finally saw the light of day again, but Jonggo and Onidensuigetsu looked worriedly at the waves of mighty chakra waves coming from the distance.

Six dirty earth bodies with red chakra rolling all over their bodies, obviously half-tailed beasts, were working together to cut a steep mountain into a small slope.

Such an astonishing power not only frightened Suigetsu and Jugo, but even Uchiha Sasuke felt a little difficult to deal with.

Also, is the figure manipulating back and forth between the six huge figures still the same Uchiha Obito who did not bring a strong sense of threat in the first place?

It feels like a completely different person, even the chakra reaction is very different from the past.

"Just one reincarnation eye brought about such a big change?"

No wonder Uchiha Sasuke felt at a loss. He once thought he had mastered the highest combat power in the ninja world. After that, no one could threaten him anymore. Strong men appeared one after another, and each time he could refresh his upper limit of the highest combat power in the ninja world. Estimate.

Just those six who inherited the Six Paths of Pain and also had the characteristics of Jinchuriki, infinite chakra, immortality, plus Obito Uchiha who controlled the demon statue of the outsider, were more powerful than Nagato's Six Paths of Pain Too much.

Even the first generation Hokage Senju Hashirama's dirty earth body did not pose such a huge threat.

"God, has he arrived?" No, not even close! 』

If it's just this level, it's not worth the ninja world joining forces to deal with it.

Uchiha Sasuke believed that with the influence of Daimaru alone, it was very possible to wipe out Uchiha Obito and Zetsu.

"And I have the potential to compete with this power!" 』

Daimaru's serious and cautious attitude towards him made Uchiha Sasuke believe that he had the ability to change all unfavorable situations.

However, potential is potential, and whether it can be realized into strength requires more efforts and some unclear opportunities.

Right now, Uchiha Sasuke felt a little powerless against the threat ahead.

On the other side, after a period of adjustment, the uprising of the newly transplanted Rinnegan was finally suppressed. After being able to use it smoothly, Obito Uchiha was also satisfied and ready to start the final plan.

"Congratulations, Obito!"

He never misses an opportunity to flatter him. Ever since Uchiha Obito obtained the Samsara Eye, his flattering attitude has become more and more obvious.

It's no wonder that Zetsu's mentality has changed. Uchiha Obito is just one step away from becoming the strongest in the ninja world. As long as he successfully seals the Ten-Tails into his body and becomes the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki, almost no ninja can defeat him head-on.

It is a pity that there is no way to seal the heretic demon into the body and become the Ten-Tails Jinchuuriki. The main flaw is that the current chakra level of the Ten-Tails is at a low level. If you do it rashly, there will be unpredictable consequences. as a result of.

Faced with Zetsu's compliments, Uchiha Obito remained unmoved and asked calmly:

"Hasn't there been any news yet about Kisame Kisaki?"

"It should be soon!"

Zetsu responded with some uncertainty, Uchiha Obito ordered coldly:

"If there is still no accurate information after three days, then there is no need to wait, we will start attacking directly!"

Now that the tactics have been adopted, it is actually in a state of war. There is no need to wait for the other side to prepare. The two armies are facing each other. The side that feels stronger can take the initiative to attack at any time.
