Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

"Shikamaru, you should be sure."

Seeing Nara Shikamaru who stopped talking halfway through, Akimichi Choji's face flashed a hint of shake, and he couldn't help asking.

"Is there anything else you can't be sure about? Isn't this obvious?"

And hearing Akimichi Choji's words, Yamanaka Ino's face flickered in shock, she never imagined that there was nothing to be sure about, it was already a certainty.

These three rooms have already explained everything.

She couldn't think of any other places that would be suspicious.

"No, it's not wrong, this friend of Teacher Asma, the ninja who was engraved on the memorial tablet as a hero but could not leave any deeds, the name is that Taki Chiba!"

And hearing what the two said, Nara Shikamaru didn't hold back, and said straightforwardly.

There can be no other doubts about this matter.

No matter how suspicious he was, it was impossible to be uncertain.

These three doors, the three house numbers with Xue Nai, Hirohiko and Chiba written on them, already explained everything.

Originally, they were just not sure which of the two names Taki Chiba and Nitta Mao Yau was. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that these three names are just a coincidence and coincide with Uncle Haiyi’s information about the strongest ninja. sex.

However, now, the three names on the three doors can already be determined. The name of the strongest ninja is Taki Chiba.

In addition, the traces of training he saw at the back door before can fully prove that Taki Chiba, Uchiha Hirohiko, and Hyuga Yukina are definitely the strongest ninja Uncle Haiyi said, and that Uchiha A family of geniuses, and Hinata's clan.

This Japanese-style log cabin with a garden was exactly what they were looking for.

And in this Japanese-style cabin, there is also the information they need.

Now, it has been completely determined that the truly strongest ninja in Konoha who surpassed Hokage is...

Taki Chiba!

"Then why do you hesitate? Is there any uncertainty?"

In this regard, the slight doubts in the eyes of Akimichi Choji and Yamanaka Ino did not dissipate, but became more intense, and at the same time these words were blurted out.

Looking at Shikamaru's appearance, it seems that there are new puzzles.

There is such a thought in their hearts.

These two guys...

Hearing the words of the two, Nara Shikamaru twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and a mixture of surprise and helplessness flashed in his heart.

"Let's investigate the room first."

However, he didn't directly answer the two people's questions, but stepped out and walked towards the door where the house number with the word "Chiba" was written.

Not sure where?

Of course there is!

Although a puzzle was solved, it was just the thinnest veil of the strongest ninja.

It's just a name.

This strongest ninja, no, it should be said that this Taki Chiba, why he died in battle, and why it was engraved on the memorial monument, but no deeds have been handed down.

What is he going through?

How did he become famous!

Since it is necessary to investigate, then these are unavoidable puzzles.

But now, since he has found his past home, and he can tell many things just from the house number, the thing to do now is to find all the useful information first.

"oh!"

As for Nara Shikamaru's words, Akimichi Choji and Yamanaka Ino didn't say much, they just followed Nara Shikamaru towards the room where Chiba was written.

Since it is time to start the investigation, it is natural to start with the room of the strongest ninja.

As for Shikamaru's failure to answer this matter directly, it means that their guess was correct.

Here, there are puzzles.

Even more puzzles.

However, since Shikamaru doesn't say it now, there must be his reason. They just need to tell him what they found. When the time is right, or if there is an inference or conclusion, Shikamaru will naturally tell them.

"Squeak..."

And amidst the soft knocking of the door, Nara Shikamaru pushed the door and walked into Taki Chiba's room. At the same time, Akimichi Choji and Yamanaka Ino followed closely.

Now it seems that this house should be unoccupied, and it was specially left by the village.

In order to commemorate the strongest ninja.

A silent memorial.

Otherwise, these three names would not be engraved on the house plate on the door.

Stepping into this simply furnished room, Nara Shikamaru had such a definite thought in his mind.

At this time, he was completely sure that no one lived in this Japanese-style log cabin, but this friend of Taki Chiba would come to take care of the sea of ​​flowers and the house.

In other words, they can search for this Japanese-style log cabin to their heart's content.

You don't have to worry about breaking into your house.

"The arrangement seems to be nothing special."

At this time, Choji Akimichi and Ino Yamanaka had already walked to other parts of the room. Ino Yamanaka took a look at the layout of the room, turned around, opened the empty cupboard, and couldn't help but speak.

The layout of Taki Chiba's room is very simple, and it seems to be simpler than the already quite simple living room downstairs.

There is only one bed, and because no one lives there, there is no bedding on the bed.

Then, there is the desk at the foot of the bed and the chair that matches the desk. There are a few scrolls on it, plus some pens, ink, paper and inkstones. There is nothing more, not even a lamp.

Next, there is no special furniture.

It can be seen that the owner of this room, that is, Taki Chiba, is a very simple character.

His life should be very simple, with extremely low requirements in life, and he may even be the type who just needs to have clothes to wear and food to eat.

And from the hangers in twos and threes in this cabinet, it can also be seen that, unlike his cabinet full of clothes, this Taki Chiba may only have a few clothes.

This is no longer a simple category.

Um?

This is?

But at this time, Nara Shikamaru's gaze suddenly turned to his rear, which was where the door was.

The viewpoint is focused on the shoe cabinet-like furniture behind the door.

At this moment, in his line of sight, there is only a box-like thing on top of the furniture that looks like a shoe cabinet. It seems that there should be something stored in the box.

However, what really attracted his attention was not the box itself or the contents of the box, but the place where the lower end of the furniture was in contact with the wooden floor of the room.

The mottled cracks and depressions are his focus!

The part of the shoe cabinet that Nara Shikamaru saw was in contact with the ground had some cracks spreading outwards, but the entire shoe cabinet had already sunk into the floor, severely fracturing this part of the floor. sunken down.

As if, this shoe cabinet is something that the heavy floor cannot support.

And at this time, after Nara Shikamaru noticed all this, he moved away, and after only two steps away, he had already stopped in front of the shoe cabinet-like furniture, and gently touched the shoe cabinet The cracks in the furniture and the ground and the obvious sunken marks.

From a closer look, it can be seen that the bottom of the shoe cabinet furniture has completely sunk into the floor.

Is it because of the box?

Then, after touching it, he raised his head and looked at the box placed on top of the shoe cabinet furniture.

The shoe cabinet furniture should be made of the same material as the wooden floor, and it is impossible to sink into the floor.

The only possibility is that something in the box caused the shoe cabinet to sink into the floor.

It should be unlocked!

After observing for a while, Nara Shikamaru raised his hand and pressed it on the box, and only heard a creak, and the box was slowly opened by him.

This... this is?

After the box was fully opened, Nara Shikamaru stood up and looked into the box. Upon seeing it, a layer of shock and stiffness appeared on his face.

clothing?

besides……

protective gear?

At the same time, such a suspicious thought flashed through his mind.

The contents of the box are very simple, just a few things.

A pair of pure black clothes of unknown material like a top, folded very neatly, and it still looks angular.

And next to the clothes, there is the same pure black protective gear like wrist guards and knee pads of unknown material. It seems that there is nothing special about it except for the unknown material.

No!

no!

Not just clothes and protective gear!

This is... a weight prop!

Then, when subconsciously reaching for the clothes and protective gear, Nara Shikamaru's forehead suddenly broke out with a trace of cold sweat, and his whole body almost leaned forward slightly.

Under this grab, the clothes and protective gear did not move at all.

On the contrary, he almost staggered, who was not mentally prepared.

In his heart, he instantly understood what the clothes and protective gear were. They should be some weight-bearing props often used in Taijutsu ninja training.

However, compared to the weight-bearing props used by other Taijutsu ninjas in the village, these props are undoubtedly heavier, even to an unimaginable degree. I have never seen a weight-bearing prop that looks like a clothes protector.

Could it be that this Taki Chiba was still wearing such weight-bearing props when he was doing gymnastics training?

This... is this still a human?

Then, in the next moment, his heart was once again occupied by an indescribable shock,

He knew very well how terrifying the weight of this weight-bearing item was, let alone wearing it for training, he couldn't even lift it up.

Even, for a long time, it may not be picked up.

It's hard to imagine how a crazy and powerful person can wear such weight-bearing props for boring training day after day and year after year.

To be honest, although he was afraid of trouble, he was not ambiguous when it was time to train, and he did well what he should do.

He felt that although he was not a hardworking guy, he was at least trying to improve himself.

However, from the current point of view, compared with this Taki Chiba, how hard is it? At least trying?

It's totally playing!

Compared with Taki Chiba, his practice is not called training at all, nor is it called hard work!

Even some of his seemingly hard-working training by his teacher can't be called hard work and hard work at all!

Faintly, he suddenly understood the true meaning of the cultivating madman and cultivating idiot that his teacher said.

He's not the madman and idiot he thought he was.

This Taki Chiba, redefines what is meant by a cultivator madman and a cultivator idiot!

terrible!

If there is such training, how terrifying is this Taki Chiba's physical strength! Just in terms of taijutsu, I am afraid that it can surpass the definition of taijutsu ninja!

So, what else?

What about ninjutsu?

What about illusion?

Konoha's strongest ninja, the ninja beyond Naruto, is it such an existence beyond imagination?

No!

no no no!

Focusing on physical training, he probably doesn't have time to study ninjutsu and illusion, and illusion requires special talent.

If you don't have that qualification, you won't be able to learn illusion.

No matter how you say it, it's impossible!

Afterwards, when he thought of Nara Shikamaru here, his thinking suddenly became a little confused, and he couldn't imagine what kind of terrifying existence this strongest ninja named Taki Chiba was.

At the same time, he also deeply doubted his own definition of ninja power.

For a brief moment, he fell into a slight confusion.

"Shikamaru, come and see! This should be left by that Taki Chiba!"

And at this time, Qiu Dao Dingci, who was looking through the scrolls on the desk, suddenly turned his head and shouted at him.

In an instant, he woke up from the chaos.

"What?"

But this time, he was neither lazy nor slow, he immediately turned around and walked towards the desk where Choji Akimichi was.

"This, look, I don't understand."

At this time, Akimichi Choji, who held out a scroll, responded.

"Well, let me see."

Regarding this, Nara Shikamaru couldn't wait to take the scroll and began to read it.

"Nothing else, that's all, huh? Shikamaru, what did you find?"

And at this time, Yamanaka Ino, who had opened all the things that could be opened, had nothing to search for. After saying something in a report style, he was attracted by the box Nara Shikamaru opened, and with a doubt in his mouth, he subconsciously walked over.

this!

This is!

But at this moment, Nara Shikamaru's eyes widened slightly, looking at the scroll in his hand, the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally.

This Taki Chiba, this strongest ninja...

Definitely, must investigate clearly!

Those who can investigate must investigate!

And in his mind, apart from shock, there was only one thought left, such an extremely serious thought.

At this moment, Nara Shikamaru, who was always lazy and extremely afraid of trouble, suddenly had an urgent thought in his heart.

If it is said that before, it was only for the investigation of Taki Chiba for the sake of his best friend Akimichi Choji, and some of them were not very serious or even perfunctory.

Well, now, Nara Shikamaru is really serious, and sincerely wants to investigate this person clearly.

This Taki Chiba!

This, Konoha's strongest ninja!

His past, his everything!

At this moment, in the indescribable shock, Nara Shikamaru's interest was finally completely mobilized!
