The Genius of Konoha, Sakura

Chapter 90, Shikamaru's first Chunin mission, start!
"Godaime-sama! Nara Shikamaru and Haruno Sakura have been brought here!" A ninja named Kagura brought them into Hokage's office and reported to Tsunade.

"Very good. Kagura, you go down first." Tsunade waved to Kagura, motioning for him to go down first.

After the ninja figure was up, she swung back and left the office directly, leaving only Sakura and Shikamaru facing Tsunade.

"Master Tsunade, may I ask what is the mission for calling me and Sakura here so early?" Unexpectedly, after Kagura left, the one who made a sound first was the usually lazy Shikamaru.

Tsunade was silent for a moment, and after clasping his hands tightly on the table, he took a deep breath, stared at Shikamaru and Sakura, and spoke slowly.

"Last night, Uchiha Sasuke left the village. Probably not wrong, it should be in the direction of Yinnin Village."

"what why?!"

"There is no reason. I should have received an invitation from Orochimaru and went to Otonin Village. Just the night before yesterday, the patrolling ninjas in Konoha discovered a fight at Sasuke's house. It is probably at that time that they got Orochi Maru's invitation."

Tsunade looked at Shikamaru and said solemnly.

"So, now we need to give you the first ninja mission after being promoted to Chunin."

"Wha... But if you follow what you said before. Aren't we going to face the ninja sent by that guy Orochimaru? I think the task of this level should be completed by the ninja, right?"

Shikamaru frowned and questioned Tsunade.

But Tsunade glanced at Sakura, who lowered her head and made no movement after knowing that Sasuke had left, and then said helplessly to Shikamaru.

"This won't work. Could it be that Asma didn't explain it to you? Now the jounin who stayed at Konoha have basically gone out to start doing tasks, and the remaining jounin must stay behind. So for now In other words, only Chunin can do it. That’s why I specially chose you for the task.”

Tsunade shook his head and said, "From now on, there is no other choice. Shikamaru, you will have three to ten minutes to choose the most outstanding ninja you think. Then start immediately!"

"What? It's really troublesome. So, Sakura and I came together, are you already a member of the chasing team?" Shikamaru turned his gaze to Sakura who was hanging his head down, and asked a little helplessly Under the outline hand.

Just when Tsunade was about to speak, Sakura raised her head abruptly, with an absolute firmness in her eyes.

"Yes! This time, I will be the first member of the team!"

Seeing Sakura like this, Tsunade's heart relaxed, he suppressed what he wanted to say, and turned to look at Shikamaru seriously.

"Your task time is very tight, so the task has already started since you left the office!"

After Shikamaru heard Tsunade's words, his eyes flickered slightly, and he raised his face slightly.He who had always been lazy, at this moment, seemed to be a little bit more energetic!
"Understood! Then, let's start the mission!"

……

After leaving Hokage's office with Sakura, Sakura looked at Shikamaru, "Shikamaru, Genin, I think I can bring Naruto directly. And I happen to know his location, so let's separate right away. .I'll go find Naruto, you go to contact other partners!"

"Really. Understood. Then, after you contact Naruto, go to the gate immediately and just wait for me."

"understand!"

After all, the two separated directly from the Hokage Building.

Run away all the way.But within a short while, Sakura had already appeared in the training ground.

"what!"

Looking at Naruto who was humming and hahah training hard in front of him, Sakura concentrated for a moment, then stepped out directly and came to Naruto.

"Yo, Sakura, you are late today!" Looking at Sakura who had interrupted his morning exercise, Naruto didn't take it seriously, but simply greeted Sakura with a smile on his face.

However, there was no smile on Sakura's face, she just said in a deep voice to Naruto after being silent for a while.

"Naruto, calm down and listen to me."

Following Sakura's narration, Naruto's originally smiling face gradually solidified, and at the end, his face revealed a look of shock.

"So, from now on, do you want to go home first, tidy up your ninja gear before starting, or go directly to the gate?"

"I always carry ninja gear with me now. I don't need to go home! So, I'll go directly to the gate." Naruto clenched his fists tightly and showed a determined look at Sakura .

"Very good, then you go to the gate and wait immediately. I need to return home and equip a few necessary ninja tools."

Saying that, Sakura didn't stay any longer, and left the training ground directly, rushing to her home.

Although it is said that it was the Otonin four who attacked Sasuke this time, the current Orochimaru is not like the original book, whose hands were abolished by three generations.And even if Orochimaru doesn't attack, there is a great chance that Dou will appear directly in this mission, and then intercept the team.

So no matter what it is for, Sakura must also bring Fei Lei Shen Kunai with her.One more unknown means one more guarantee!
……

After finishing simple tidying up at home, Sakura quickly set off to the gate.At this time, Naruto was the only one walking around at the gate, apparently in a very restless state.

However, not long after Sakura and Naruto reunited, Shikamaru had already brought Kiba, Choji, and Neji with him, and quickly appeared in the sight of the two of them.

"Huh. Sure enough, you are already here." After Shikamaru took a breath, he looked at the three people behind him, "Because the time given by Lord Wudai Hokage is too tight, so for now, we can only We found a few of us among the leaves."

"However, before we set off, let me briefly explain. Because this mission is very urgent, so far, we have only obtained the most basic information, that is, the number of enemies, at least four or more. Except Other than that, there is no other information."

"To be honest, I find this kind of task with basically zero intelligence the most troublesome. But there is really no way. Although Sasuke has always been cold, but in the end, he is the one we have known since ninja school. A partner, and at the same time Konoha's ninja. Therefore, no matter what, even if it is risking our lives, we must bring Sasuke back!"

Saying that, Shikamaru glanced at Sakura, he was not like other people.You know, just last night, before Sasuke left Konoha, he had a meal with Sakura.Therefore, he didn't say anything more, just quickly explained the next tactics of the few people, and then directly clenched his fists.

"So now, is there anything else to propose?"

Hearing this, Sakura stepped forward and took out a unique equipment from her ninja bag, Flying Raijin Kunai.

"For urgent needs, please bring these few kunai with you!"

"This is?"

Several teammates other than Shikamaru and Naruto raised such questions after receiving this unique Kunai.

"This is a special kunai, the name is Flying Thunder God Kunai. It is also a kind of space-time ninjutsu, so you are asked to bring kunai. For the next mission, no matter what, you must bring the highest alert!"

Ning Ci, Ding Ci and Ya three nodded at the same time.

As family ninjas, when they heard Flying Thunder God, they already understood everything.Naturally, they silently put away Kunai.

"Then, next, the mission begins!"

Several people nodded at the same time. As a scouting ninja, Yakuo was the first to bear the brunt and jumped out directly. The rest of the people did not stop and immediately followed behind.

……

With the rapid movement of several people, Kiba and Akamaru finally made their voices.

"After arriving here, the smell of Sasuke and the enemy has become more and more obvious. Sniff, yes, the number of enemies is exactly four!"

"Nice job, Teeth!"

Shikamaru gave a compliment to Ya, and immediately said to the few people behind him.

"If there is no miscalculation, we should be approaching their position now. Everyone must be on alert. From now on, the enemy is likely to start arranging traps!"

"Shikamaru. There is a smell of blood in front. From the smell, it should be that the enemy has clashed with two other unknown people. But the enemy has already got rid of the smell of blood. What should I do about Shikamaru?"

"There is no other way. From now on, we will switch to reconnaissance mode, and it is very likely that we will have a direct confrontation with the opponent. Everyone is on alert!"

After issuing the alert command again, Shikamaru slowed down first, and began to carefully observe the slightest change in the environment.

And as expected, under the full vigilance of a group of people, several people successfully discovered countless extremely hidden traps.

After that, Neji rolled his eyes, and easily found four people of Otonin lying scattered in front of him a few hundred meters away.
