Hokage: Ryo’s Path

After the black soil was settled, Dashemaru psychically produced dozens of small snakes, and checked in the death forest to see if there were other ninjas besides these ninjas.

After some investigation, Orochimaru determined that there were only a few Anbu members left in the death forest who were under the supervision of the ninja and Konoha, and Naruto's safety was guaranteed.

Orochimaru's "task" was over, so he left the death forest with the black soil on his shoulders.

As for Naruto and Sasuke, after chatting for a while, the two began to recover their chakra.

When the state of the two of them recovered to seven or eight, Xiao Sakura arrived not far away with the tenth squad.

Shikamaru looked at the destroyed trees around him, and a large piece of scorched land in front of him, and made a rough estimate of the situation at that time.

"Why are you here?" Naruto asked a little strangely.

"Sakura told us that you were being targeted by a ninja and a powerful woman from Iwanin Village in the Death Forest, so we came here right away.

I heard from Sakura that at least that woman has the strength of an elite johnin, and you can all win this. Sure enough, Sasuke is really amazing! "Ino said excitedly.

Naruto immediately retorted: "Hey, hey! Ino, I obviously contributed more in the battle just now! And we didn't kill that woman."

Shikamaru frowned: "It's not you? But what happened to the scorched land over there? What happened? Tell me quickly."

When Naruto was organizing his words, Sasuke said first: "Let me tell you! The combined ninjutsu I and Naruto did hit that woman."

Sasuke told Shikamaru what happened in detail, and Shikamaru was also shocked after hearing the name of Orochimaru: "Oshemaru? Sasuke, is that Orochimaru you're talking about?"

Sasuke nodded: "Yes! That's him!"

"It's really troublesome. I didn't expect that there would be such a big shot in a Chunin exam. If I knew it, I wouldn't have participated." Shikamaru muttered softly.

"Well, who is Orochimaru?" Sakura asked in a low voice, and Choji was also curious.

Shikamaru sighed, and briefly told the two of the glorious deeds of Orochimaru.

After listening to Shikamaru's narration, Sakura's expression became more and more nervous, and Choji still looked indifferent, but he asked a question that everyone wanted to know: "Shikamaru, why is there such a thing as the Chunin Exam? Is there such a powerful person?"

After a moment of silence, Shikamaru pointed at Naruto and said, "I think it's probably because of him!"

"Me? Why me?" Naruto asked strangely.

"It's very simple, because of your identity. You are Konoha's new Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and you can communicate with Tailed Beasts at a young age and use the power of Nine-Tails. Iwamura is afraid of Nine-Tails, so they will send someone to kill you .

As for Orochimaru, Uncle Yuan probably came to protect you. "

After listening to Shikamaru's words, Sasuke also suddenly realized that everything can be explained in this way.

"Sasuke, just now you said that Orochimaru went after that woman, right?" Shikamaru then asked.

Sasuke nodded, "Well! Orochimaru went after that woman, and I'm not sure if I left the Death Forest or not."

Shikamaru lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "Oshemaru should have already left!"

"Shikamaru, how do you know?"

"Because Naruto is safe, just now Sasuke said that the ninjas of Iwanin Village respected that woman very much. After that woman appeared, the ninjas of Iwanin Village left.

This means that this woman is very powerful in the eyes of these rock ninjas, and she can definitely kill Naruto with her.

Since she will definitely be able to kill Naruto, then Iwanin Village should not send a second person. Assassination is not something like the more people the better. "

"Shikamaru, you have said so much, meaning that Iwanin Village only sent one elite Jōnin here, and there are so many Jōnin here, Naruto is not safe!" Sakura asked.

Ino said with a smile: "Sakura, you don't understand, this Orochimaru was called by Uncle Yuan, and Uncle Yuan won't care about the fight between fellow ninjas, and Orochimaru should be the same."

Xiao Sakura's face changed greatly when she heard the words: "That means, now we need to face all the ninja teams in Iwanin Village?"

Shikamaru nodded: "Yes! The ninja team of Iwanin Village should still hunt and kill Naruto."

"Cut, it's just a bunch of ninja, I'm not afraid!" Naruto said disdainfully.

Sasuke glared at Naruto and said: "Idiot! With our strength, if we come one by one, we will certainly not be afraid. The problem is, what should I do if these rock ninjas swarm up?"

Looking at Sasuke's side face, Ino's eyes lit up, and he quickly said: "Indeed, if these people go together, you really can't handle it. Then let's do it! Let's act together with you! Shikamaru, do you think it's okay?"

"Ah? It's such a troublesome thing." Shikamaru felt a chill in his back before he finished speaking, and when he turned his head, he met Ino's murderous eyes.

Shikamaru hesitated for a second, and quickly changed his words: "Then what. I mean such a troublesome matter, and we are partners, of course we have to bear it together, but I have two conditions."

"What condition?" Sasuke asked.

"1 Now that you have decided to act together, all battles and actions during the period must be under my command.

2 Because we are helping you, we must take the scrolls we get first. "

Sasuke agreed after thinking for a while, and Naruto and Sakura had no objections, and Class 7 and Class 10 officially reached an alliance.

After a while, Naruto and Sasuke had fully recovered, and the six of them were ready to set off after eating something casually.

Before departure, Shikamaru said to everyone: "The action will start in a while, Naruto Sasuke will be in the front, Ino and Sakura will be in the middle, Choji and I will break up.

Naruto and Sasuke are much stronger than us. The two of you are opening the way and attracting firepower.

Ino and Sakura are girls, so it is better for them to be in the middle, and Ino is a perception ninja, and Sakura is a medical ninja, so it is right to protect them.

Choji and I are at the end because the family secrets of our Ikabuta family need to cooperate with each other. Once there is a problem, Ino can immediately return to the team to form a fighting force.

Ino establishes a spiritual connection with us, and at the same time pays attention to the existence of other genocides nearby, and will notify us immediately if there is any trouble.

That's it for the time being, do you have any opinions? "After making arrangements, Shikamaru looked at everyone and asked.

Everyone agreed. Before leaving, Sasuke looked at Shikamaru and said, "The wisdom of the Nara clan is really terrifying. In this case, wisdom is really the most powerful weapon."

Shikamaru smiled: "My father often said that in the face of absolute strength, any resourcefulness is useless."
