Naruto System in One Piece - Chapter 478

“Do you want to bring Sasuke back?” Shikamaru had already guessed it.

Tsunade said, “But other than time being tight, this mission is still quite dangerous.”

“Huh?”

“This is not the first time. It has been before. Sasuke was probably bewitched by Orochimaru’s subordinates, so he left the village.”

“In that case, this mission must be a four-man team composed of Chunin and Jonin.”

“This can’t be done.” Tsunade was helpless.

“Why?”

“As you know, Asuma, Kakashi, and your father are all sent out to do missions. Because of the urgency of the situation and the lack of manpower, I can only give you 30 minutes to find the most outstanding Genin you think. However, even when he’s still a Genin, and you have to bring him.”

“Genin?”

“Yes, he is.”

“I know. Although it is troublesome, we know each other. I can’t just ignore it. Anyway, there must be a way to get to the mountain.” After Shikamaru finished speaking, he went to gather the people.

It didn’t take half an hour. Including Shikamaru, a total of six people were recruited.

Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba, Neji, Naruto, and Leiyin.

The two people that Tsunade recommended to Shikamaru were Naruto and Leiyin.

Because Shikamaru and Leiyin were both Chunin, Tsunade said that this mission had to be under Shikamaru’s command.

The reason why he recommended Leiyin was because his strength was slightly better.

A group of six people walked out of Konoha. Naruto was in high spirits and raised his right fist. “That’s it! Everyone, come with me!”

Shikamaru had five black lines on his head, “Hey! Naruto, speaking of which, I am the captain, although it is a bit troublesome.”

Naruto revealed a slightly ‘disdainful’ look on his face, “Can you do it or not? Why do I feel that you are not very reliable?”

Kiba looked at him, “Naruto, don’t make yourself look like a boss. However, it is really unacceptable to let a guy like Shikamaru who has no energy to command us.”

“What are you talking about? Shikamaru is already a Chunin, we should all listen to him. The higher-ups of Konoha have recognized his strength.”

“Isn’t Leiyin also a Chunin? We can also listen to him.”

“Tsunade-sama has already said that Leiyin also has to listen to Shikamaru.”

Leiyin smiled, “Even if Tsunade didn’t say it, I wouldn’t fight with Shikamaru. Among us, Shikamaru is the most suitable commander.”

“Then you can make a plan. Didn’t you say that we might be ambushed by the enemy?”

Shikamaru had a confident look, “We are going to save people this time, so we have to take the form of tracking. Therefore, the first thing to consider is our formation. It has to be easy to move and should be able to deal with the enemy attacks at any time. If you don’t listen to the command and act rashly, everyone may not survive!”

After that, Shikamaru spoke of his strategy.

First, they formed a column. The vanguard position was crucial because Kiba and his dog Akamaru had a keen sense of smell. Moreover, they had a better understanding of the Land of Fire. Not only was it very convenient to track the assistant, but they could also discover the enemy’s trap and ambush in time.

Shikamaru followed closely behind, so that he could give n order at any time to understand the situation, and he could also use his hand gestures to signal the people behind him.

The third and fourth positions were handed over to Naruto and Leiyin. They were extremely explosive and were able to take care of both the front and back directions. They were the best candidates for this position. They were mainly responsible for covering, and both of them would have Shadow Clones.

The fifth was Choji. Although his speed was average, his strength was very strong. When the enemy attacked, he would cover them and use his strength to launch a fatal blow against the enemy.

Neji was the one to cover the retreat. He was in charge of vigilance. With the Byakugan, he could capture blind spots that no one could see.

“Is there any other problem?”

After the deployment was completed, Shikamaru’s expression became even more solemn, “If there isn’t, I will emphasize one last point with everyone.”

“Huh?”

“Although my relationship with Sasuke is ordinary, and I don’t really care about him, we are all Konoha Ninja. We are companions, so we have to save him no matter what! This is what Konoha Ninjas should do! Even though I am afraid of trouble.”

“But, I will take responsibility for your lives!” Shikamaru said with a serious face.

After Shikamaru finished his lengthy speech, Kiba smiled and looked at him in a new light, “Hmph! He looks like a Chunin now.”

“This formation is indeed quite reasonable.” In fact, when Leiyin watched anime in his previous life, he felt that this period of Shikamaru was very strange. What made Leiyin even more shocked was that Shikamaru had almost no time to think about it. The plan was almost completed in an instant. As expected of the future number one brain of Konoha.
