Chapter 482
Shikamaru understood what Sakura meant, and stroked his chin, recalling how Uchiha Itachi slaughtered the entire Uchiha clan alone, leaving only the young Sasuke. There were indeed many doubts, but this kind of thing involves... Could it be?
"But that thing... ...is it... ...that?"
Sakura placed the bird in her hand into its nest in the tree, "I don't know if Tsunade-sama told you about Sai's mission, but if this line of thought is taken, that might be what happened."
Shikamaru sighed, then rubbed his temple, "If that's the case... then we're in big trouble."
The two of them walked closely in the forest. The air in the forest was moist and fresh, mixed with the fragrance of resin and flowers, which eased the tense topic a little.
The two walked along the path, following the direction of the sound of water, admiring the waterfall cascading down the cliff. The splashing mist made everything around shrouded in this thin mist. The hazy scenery was more in line with the current situation of the village.
They found a pavilion next to a waterfall. Sakura leaned against the fence, lazily turning the splashing water into crystal clear ice flowers.
She looked at the ice flowers and said slowly, "So this mission is extremely difficult, and the information behind it is even more unexpected."
Shikamaru sat next to Sakura, leaned against the fence, closed his eyes, and began to think rapidly in his mind, trying to find the best way to deal with the situation.
After a while, he asked casually: "Ah... Naruto shouldn't know these things, right?"
Sakura shook her head, a trace of worry in her eyes, then she looked at Shikamaru dimly and said softly: "If he knew, the village would have been in turmoil long ago."
Shikamaru immediately realized that he had asked a question that he shouldn't have asked, and hurriedly smiled and scratched his head awkwardly, "Yeah, if that guy knew, I'm afraid he would go and ask for an explanation without thinking... So what are your plans now?"
Sakura lowered her eyes, the ice flower in her hand expanded along with the water, her expression was rare and serious, "At present, it seems that Orochimaru's side hopes that we can get rid of the people of Akatsuki as much as possible, and Akatsuki's current target is the tailed beasts. The tailed beasts involve multiple countries, but what exactly do they want to use the tailed beasts for? We don't know yet... If we just follow the timeline, I personally prefer to rescue Sasuke first. Of course, if something unexpected happens, then the village will naturally be the priority."
Shikamaru subconsciously followed Sakura's line of sight and saw traces of water ripples on the crystal clear ice flowers, which made him marvel at Sakura's precise control over chakra.
Then, he slowly said, "Since the last time they went to the Land of Sand to capture the One-Tail, things seem to have become much quieter. However, now they have found traces of the Akatsuki organization at the border of the Land of Fire... I'm afraid it will be difficult for our village to stay out of it."
Sakura nodded slightly in agreement, her eyes filled with worry, "Yeah... this calm before the storm is really disturbing."
Just as Sakura finished her words, the ice flower suddenly shattered due to the flow of water, as if foreshadowing that the calm before the storm was about to be broken, and the situation in the future would become more complicated and dangerous.
