It seems that his father Nara Shikaku did not tell everyone about Sasuke's disappearance.
Then, within a few breaths, Shikamaru understood his father's intention.
If the news about Sasuke was told to Naruto and others when they were in the Land of Waves, it would definitely cause a strong reaction among these people, which would lead to many uncontrollable factors.
In any case, this trip to Kirigakure Ninja Village has achieved diplomatic achievements, and now it’s time to negotiate and pick fruits.
In the following diplomatic situations, the most important thing is dignity.
If Naruto and others are allowed to mess around and delay the business, I am afraid that they will fail the expectations and trust of the Hokage and the entire Konoha.
However, Shikamaru no longer had the strength to lie due to the condemnation of his conscience for many days.
The reason why he hurriedly wrote a letter to summon his father and others was that he hoped to use formal diplomatic pressure to mobilize the power of the entire Kirigakure Ninja Village to find Uchiha Sasuke back.
"Listen to me, Naruto. The current situation is related to the direction of the two countries. You must not be excited, let alone act on impulse."
Nara Shikamaru said calmly.
"What's going on? You did a good job this time, but you're not that bad! We've been here for so long, where is Sasuke?"
Naruto asked urgently.
In the worst possible scenario he could think of, Sasuke might have been seriously injured and was currently recuperating in the Hidden Mist Hospital.
"Disappeared? What do you mean by disappeared?! Even if he is dead, you still have to see the body! He was fine when he left. Where did you hide Sasuke?"
Naruto simply couldn't believe Nara Shikamaru's explanation.
He became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and finally he grabbed Shikamaru by the collar and yelled at him.
The music and noisy chatter in the venue quieted down, and everyone was looking at Naruto's corner.
The Kirigakure ninjas who knew the inside story, as well as Nara Shikaku, had different expressions, and they all knew what was happening at this moment.
Nara Shikaku remained calm, gave Terumi Mei a slight greeting, and said with a smile:
"Thank you for your hospitality tonight. Adolescent children are always impulsive. I can handle it."
Then, Shikaku strode towards the direction of Naruto and warned in a low voice:
"If we want to get Sasuke back, we must unite. Remember, this will be the same in the future. Never let outsiders see such a scene. Come back with me first."
After saying this, Nara Shikaku politely said goodbye to Terumi Mei again.
Then, he took Shikamaru and walked out of the banquet hall first.
The rest of the Konoha personnel followed suit one after another.
It was night, in Kirigakure Ninja Village, in the mansion where Konoha and his party were staying.
Yamanaka Ino changed his previous excitement and joy, and now he was sitting in his seat with a look of fear on his face.
On the side, Hyuga Neji was expressionless, but his already gloomy face was now like a bottomless gloomy sea, making everyone around him feel very depressed.
"Where is Kimimaro?"
Neji asked the first question of the night.
Chapter 122 Mental Stimulation
"After what happened, Kimimaro insisted on looking for traces of Sasuke. Now, he should be somewhere in the Kingdom of Water."
Nara Shikamaru replied, trying his best to look normal.
"Then why don't you go!?"
Uzumaki Naruto slammed the table and asked loudly.
Nara Shikamaru glanced at him, lowered his head and said nothing.
As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto also reacted.
Just now, I actually asked a stupid question.
The reason why Shikamaru didn't go was because he had to wait here for his group to arrive.
"Then, describe the fighting situation again."
Hyuga Neji asked the second question.
"At that time, based on the two ways to crack the illusion, we formulated two plans based on our goals."
A quarter of an hour later, Nara Shikamaru finally finished describing the specific scene at that time.
During this process, Hyuga Neji kept thinking in his head.
He felt regretful.
He thought, when he was in the Country of Waves, should he try again?
He stared at Shikamaru's lips as he continued to speak, but other things suddenly occurred to him.
Perhaps, compared to Sasuke, he is actually more suitable for this mission.
Or maybe, in fact, except Nara Shikamaru, any of the remaining three people can team up with Uchiha Sasuke during the execution of this mission.
Needless to say, Uzumaki Naruto and himself, even Yamanaka Ino, as an admirer of Sasuke, would never let Sasuke fall into such a dangerous situation.
"Why send Sasuke for the final attack?"
Hyuga Neji continued to attack.
"I"
Nara Shikamaru was speechless. He had asked himself this question countless times in these days.
"There is no problem with the tactical arrangement."
Nara Shikaku said.
"Both Mei Terumi and Chojuro are ninjas who are good at long-range attacks, and Kimimaro's physical condition is not strong enough to bear the burst of the final attack.
"If it were me, I would make the same tactical arrangements."
Shikaku no longer avoided suspicion and expressed his views.
On the other side, Nara Shikamaru still kept his head down.
The huge pressure caused by the losses after taking command brought his spirit to the verge of collapse, and he was really embarrassed to face his companions in the village.
In fact, he felt better when everyone treated him like this.
After Sasuke's accident, he was deeply immersed in self-blame, and his heart was actually no less sad than anyone else present.
"So, from the time you got off the ship to the time Sasuke disappeared, what happened in the Kingdom of Water?"
Hyuga Neji continued to question.
Nara Shikaku couldn't help but glance at the boy from the Hyuga branch.
What is this suspicion about?
"You don't have to answer."
Shikaku said in a deep voice.
"No, everyone has the right to know."
Nara Shikamaru's eyes swept over the angry Naruto, the sad Ino, and the aggressive Neji.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his mood again, and told everyone again.
Ten minutes later, Shikamaru finally finished his story, and his mouth felt dry.
"Is this all?"
Hyuga Neji sorted out the process and confirmed it.
Shikamaru nodded.
"When that Kirigakure ANBU ninja attacked, why didn't you help?"
Neji asked.
"At that time, Sasuke's murderous intent was too strong, and it was difficult for us to intervene. Later, the opponent was too far away, and we couldn't do it, like Sasuke did from the sentry tower, diving and leaping all the way over."
After speaking for a long time, Shikamaru's voice became a little hoarse, but he still explained patiently.
"Retell the process just now."
Hinata Neji said.
"Neji! That's enough."
Nara Shikaku finally couldn't help it and scolded him.
"Everyone, everyone is a companion, don't be like this."
Yamanaka Ino couldn't help but persuade him.
Although she was very sad at first, she did want to know as much as possible about what happened.
But Hinata Neji's performance at this time made her feel a little pitiful for her classmates.
Even Uzumaki Naruto felt that Neji did go a bit too far at this time.
However, how could they know the great sorrow of the caged bird falling into darkness and despair again after seeing hope.
-
Thirst, thirsty.
If he hadn't firmly believed that Uchiha Obito would come back, then Sasuke might have fallen into complete despair at this time.
The monotonous scene and constant light made it impossible for Sasuke to confirm how much time had passed.
However, his increasingly weakened physical condition made him clearly feel the passage of time on him.
Hunger is the first evil thing to visit you.
But although the first hunger was unbearable, it gradually eased as time went by.
The next thing that came to torment him was thirst.
