After walking for a while, the chubby Choji Akimichi came over, eating as he ran and asking questions.

"Shikamaru."

Why do you seem a little unhappy?

Nara Shikamaru asked with a sullen face, "Should I be happy?"

Ino Yamanaka followed along, saying, "We're going to report to command post this time. At least set an example and give us some encouragement!"

Nara Shikamaru: "It's not encouraging at all."

"Besides, you can go to the command post as patrol members."

"I'm going to the command center to join the think tank."

"Completely different, okay!~"

Choji Akimichi nodded: "Indeed, 'think tank' sounds better."

"Bullshit!" Nara Shikamaru said, "The patrol team's missions are much easier; they don't require any effort or brainpower."

"A think tank sounds like a troublesome job."

Choji Akimichi: "Then why don't you just refuse?"

Nara Shikamaru's expression fell even more: "If only it were that easy."

He was personally appointed by Shenyue Xingyun to serve as one of the think tank members at the command headquarters.

He was about to refuse, but Shenyue Xingyun told him, "I gave you a bag of potato chips back then."

"Now it's time for you to repay me. Come on, put your intelligence to use."

I believe in you!

At that moment, Choji Akimichi saw that he was looking downcast, and as a friend he felt obligated to help him, so he handed him the potato chips he was holding.

"Shikamaru, try this."

"New flavor, especially delicious."

"Hold on tight, it's windy, don't spill it, or I'll feel bad."

Seeing the potato chips that Choji Akimichi handed him, Shikamaru Nara's expression darkened even more. He shook his head and said, "..."

"Don't eat."

"Starting today, I will not eat a single potato chip."

"I've quit!"

Choji Akimichi was puzzled, then looked at Ino Yamanaka beside him and sensed that the other person seemed to be in a good mood.

"Ino, do you want some?"

Yamanaka Ino looked at the potato chips handed to her and said, "I'll eat them."

She has a great appetite and can't stop eating once she starts.

Choji Akimichi: "Ino, you seem much happier than Shikamaru."

Yamanaka Ino was startled. She tried to remain calm, but her chewing movements slowed down.

"what?"

"Is there?"

“Yes,” Choji Akimichi said. “You don’t seem tired at all after you set off.”

"Ah~ Hahaha~" Yamanaka Ino laughed awkwardly: "Well... I'm more curious to see what the command post looks like."

"The Ninja World War, huh? I've never experienced one before."

Hearing Yamanaka Ino's answer, Akimichi Choji had no doubts. Only Nara Shikamaru, who was walking with his head down, glanced at Yamanaka Ino when he heard this.

Nara Shikamaru didn't believe a single punctuation mark in the other party's explanation.

He had a vague idea as to why Yamanaka Ino was so happy... Shinzuki Seiun.

That's the person who made him regret eating potato chips.

Ever since they started school, Nara Shikamaru had a vague feeling that Yamanaka Ino seemed to be busy with something. She was always hanging out with Tenten and running around outside all the time.

He remembered that the other person originally liked Sasuke, but for some reason, nothing came of it.

He wasn't interested in these gossips at first, but after graduation, the three of them were in the same class, and inevitably, he learned some of the whereabouts of the mountain dwellers.

Based on his analysis of the other party's daily routine, disappearance times, and occasional intelligence gathered from other sources, Nara Shikamaru arrived at a very outrageous conclusion... the other party has taken a liking to Shingetsu Seiun!

No, it's not that I've taken a liking to someone.

It's a crush, an obsessive infatuation! Much more intense than when I was infatuated with Sasuke!

When they were on missions in the village before, the other person would always ask for leave from time to time and then sneak out with Tian Tian. He had also seen the other person secretly writing things on pink stationery, like a thief.

Therefore, the reason why the other party is so excited has absolutely nothing to do with the Ninja World War or the Akatsuki organization.

God Moon Nebula!

The enemy is heading straight for the Divine Moon Nebula!

Looking at Yamanaka Ino, whose face was full of anticipation and whose eyes were shining, Nara Shikamaru sighed softly.

"He's completely bewitched!"

Chapter 583 Linen Clothes: Samui's eyes... she has pretty good taste.

"Phew!"

He let out a long breath, as if exhaling all the fatigue from his body.

"Hiss~" He took a deep breath, as if trying to draw his lost soul back into his body.

After a long while, Tsunade, having finished handing over her work, looked at Shingetsu Nebula.

The other person's face was slightly flushed, and the intense work had left his cheeks slightly sweaty, but no matter how you looked at him, he was so pleasing to the eye and so handsome.

"Are you so free lately? You even have time to come here and hand over your work?" Shingetsu Seiun asked, noticing Tsunade's gaze.

Tsunade: "I came here to recharge because I've been so busy."

"What, you don't like it?"

Shenyue Xingyun, of course, would not say she didn't like it: "How could I? As long as you can handle it, I'm always ready to serve you."

Tsunade gave a smug hum.

A moment later, she raised an eyebrow and asked, "By the way, why haven't you come to my place these past couple of days?"

Shingetsu Seiun: "You and Onoki are busy with work, why should I go and join in the fun?"

Tsunade: "You are my protector!"

Shenyue Xingyun: "Stay inside, and I can still protect your safety."

Tsunade believed this. She knew that Shingetsu Seiun had powerful senses and the ability to teleport, so protecting her safety at the command center was not a problem.

Tsunade: "But aren't you bored staying here all day?"

"The command headquarters has just established a secretariat, and the secretary-general is a linen-clad woman from Yunyin. She's very beautiful. Don't you want to go and see her?"

Shenyue Xingyun shook her head: "There are too many beautiful people, how can I possibly look at them all?"

“Besides…” He looked up at Tsunade, “you are the most beautiful.”

Tsunade forced a smile and muttered, "What a character!"

Tsunade left with a full haul, while Shingetsu Seiun remained at her residence.

He was right about something: there are so many beautiful people that he can't keep up with them all.

Since Uzuki Yuhi, Nohara Rin and others have been arriving at the command post one after another, or participating in defense, administration, medical and other work, his little house has also become busy.

Every day is just opening and closing windows, opening and closing windows... It's exhausting.

Besides these people, the younger ones are also quite active. For example, Yamanaka Ino.

I don't know if it's because the big battle is approaching and I'm getting restless, or if it's because I'm getting older, but the other party is visiting more and more frequently. And each time there's a legitimate reason.

"Lord Xingyun, my father asked me to bring some local specialties for you to try."

"Lord Nebula, my mother asked me to give this to you, saying you might need it."

"Lord Nebula, Shikamaru's work attitude has been too negative lately. I've already spoken to him about it, and he promises he won't slack off again..."

And just like that, half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Yamanaka and Inoya came more and more frequently, and they became bolder and bolder.

One day, he even bluntly said that it was too hard for Shenyue Xingyun to stay here alone, and that he could take care of her.

Shenyue Xingyun naturally refused!

He felt he was not yet at an age where he needed someone to take care of him.

Yamanaka Ino felt that he had arrived.

Just as the two were at an impasse, there was a knock on the door.

"Dong Dong~"

"Go in." Shingetsu Seiun said. Yamanaka Ino's hard-won courage vanished again. She glanced reluctantly at Shingetsu Seiun, who was so close at hand, and decided... next time, for sure.

...

Outside.

A tall woman holding a stack of documents stood there and gently knocked on the door.

The woman wore a gray coat, her attire strikingly different from the other ninjas. Her gray-white hair was tied back, and her wheat-colored skin was even and healthy.

It was none other than the strategist of the Hidden Clouds, the current Secretary-General of the Secretariat, Mabui.

Standing at the gate, Ma Buyi felt a little nervous.

She came to find Shenyue Xingyun on her own initiative.
