Chapter 954: Unveiling the Disguise?
Chapter 954: Unveiling the Disguise?
'Huh!'
Shikamaru focused his attention, finally noticing something amiss.
How did an extra person appear on the bridge?
The person had long, dark hair, a pure and innocent face, but a figure that had nothing to do with the word 'innocent' and was instead incredibly alluring.
The problem was, how could he have missed such a beautiful female ninja before?
Shikamaru felt a chill in his heart.
Presence!
That was the word that suddenly came to his mind.
Yes, the person had been on the bridge all along, but due to their lack of presence, they had been overlooked.
Only when he concentrated did he finally notice them.
This sense of presence was something that one couldn't easily see through unintentionally.
But Shikamaru had come prepared for this very reason, and with his mental readiness, he was able to decipher the situation.
However, his subtle movements, no matter how secretive, could not escape the notice of those present.
There were more than one Super Shadow, so how could they not notice his actions? Moreover, the person's actions revealed a lot.
Starting with the sense of presence, suspicion would naturally fall on Hyuga Aozuki.
'It seems like this disguise as Shell won't hold up anymore.'
Tang Ping felt a bit disappointed.
He quite liked this disguise.
At the very least, when causing trouble under this guise, he didn't have to worry about implicating his main account. He could do whatever he wanted.
However, even without the disguise now, it seemed like he could still do whatever he wanted.
Well, that was fine.
In the future, if he really wanted to cause trouble, he could always create a new disguise.
"That's right, she's the one who killed your father. If you want revenge, go ahead. I have no objections!"
After realizing that the Shell disguise was exposed, Tang Ping boldly spoke these shocking words.
Indeed!
His words were truly astonishing.
It was as if he was acknowledging that Hyuga Aozuki was the powerful individual from the Shell Organization who could use 'Shinra Tensei' and 'Bansho Ten'in'.
Upon hearing this, Chouji instinctively reached for his ninja tool bag, intending to take out a chili pill.
Lee also assumed a combat stance.
Tang Ping's attitude seemed to imply that he wouldn't allow them to leave.
The other members of the envoy team also subconsciously prepared to take action, following their lead.
As they moved, Naruko drew her Flying Thunder God Kunai, Karin took a half-step back, ready to perform a sealing technique, and Hinata's body made a faint sound as if something hard moved within her.
Uchiha Meika glanced at Izumi and Tang Ping before slowly relaxing.
In an instant, the atmosphere on the bridge became tense.
"Stop!"
Shikamaru immediately restrained Lee and Chouji beside him, fearing that they might impulsively attack, which would be troublesome.
The other members of the envoy team also relaxed their combat stances after hearing Shikamaru's words.
They were 'workers' who simply followed orders, and they wouldn't take matters into their own hands.
"Impressive wisdom!"
Uchiha Meika crossed her arms and praised Shikamaru.
Don't mistake this evaluation as a criticism of Shikamaru; it was actually high praise.
Uchiha Meika, who oversaw all matters in the Scorch Sun Nation, had encountered many exceptionally wise individuals. For someone of Shikamaru's age to receive such praise was truly remarkable.
"Thank you for the compliment, Lady Meika!"
Shikamaru naturally understood who she was.
The Queen of Thunder and Fire!
She was also the leader of the Uchiha clan's main branch and Tang Ping's 'fiancee'. In the Scorch Sun Nation, she was second only to the leader and above everyone else.
So, when she offered her evaluation from a position of authority, it was because she truly had the right to do so.
"It's a shame the Nara clan is a bit foolish. It won't be easy to see them again in the future!"
Tang Ping's words sent Shikamaru into a state of despair.
Yes, the Nara clan was indeed foolish.
Tang Ping had also wanted to bring them under his control. With their help in managing internal affairs, he could have lived a carefree life.
The problem was that Nara Shikaku seemed to have a personal grudge against him, constantly opposing and challenging him.
So, Tang Ping had Hyuga Aozuki send Nara Shikaku on a one-way trip to the afterlife.
As for why Nara Shikaku didn't worry about Tang Ping retaliating against the Nara clan...
Tang Ping later realized that Nara Shikaku might have believed that he had distanced himself from the Nara clan. If the Leaf Village won, it would be all the Nara clan's doing, and if they failed, it would be Tang Ping's responsibility, not the clan's.
Tang Ping's actions were similar to the ancient aristocratic families who hedged their bets on both sides.
Tang Ping had only three words in response:
"Dream on!"
He didn't care about the details; he only knew that the other party was from the Nara Clan.
Whether you cut ties or not is irrelevant; as long as he identifies you as part of the Nara Clan, there's no escape for the entire clan.
Did he really think Tang Ping wouldn't retaliate?
So, the Nara Clan was destined for destruction.
Yes, the other party was indeed intelligent.
But in the Scorch Sun Nation, intelligent people were everywhere. Unlike when he first started, he no longer lacked talent and didn't need the Nara Clan specifically.
This was a perfect opportunity to use the Nara Clan's fate as a warning to those who dared oppose him.
Clan annihilation!
But Tang Ping had already considered this.
He wasn't a saint, and he wouldn't spare them just because of a manga he had read in his previous life. He had no intention of letting them off.
Not a single mistake, not a single word, not a single breath, not a single move!
On the contrary, in the original story, the other party was a couple with Temari. Now, Temari had become his.
In other words, the other party was in a rather awkward situation.
However, this wasn't important. What mattered was that Nara Shikaku had angered Tang Ping, and he needed to vent his frustration.
The Nara Clan was the perfect target for his anger.
"The Nara Clan has a heritage spanning hundreds of years and will not be easily destroyed!" Shikaku said firmly, looking at Tang Ping.
At this moment, he knew that it wasn't the time to seek revenge for his father's death. Instead, he had to think of a way to ensure the Nara Clan's survival.
"Is that so? I can't wait to see it!"
Tang Ping waved his left hand lightly, indicating that Shikaku and his group could leave.
The Nara Clan was destined to become the 'chicken' he had chosen, with no other path available.
Damn!
They had dared to challenge him, and now they would pay the price.
Don't tell him to consider the bigger picture; he was the bigger picture.
If he was unhappy with the Nara Clan, they would be eliminated.
It was worth every penny!
Tang Ping was well aware that if he were to accept them, he would gain access to a large number of talents and make his takeover of Konoha much easier.
But he refused!
Compared to his own mood, these considerations were insignificant.
The Scorch Sun Nation served him, not the other way around. It was essential to understand the priorities.
If the Scorch Sun Nation couldn't serve him, he would abandon it without hesitation.
Did they think he was a saint, here to contribute to the Ninja World?
After the group left, Hyuga Aozuki spoke up:
"Do you want me...?"
The unspoken meaning was clear.
It was about whether or not to let her take action and ensure that this envoy team never returned.
With her strength, dealing with them was no problem.
Even if the other party had Rock Lee, or even their teacher, Guy, it was unlikely they could stop Aozuki's assassination attempt.
"No need. Let him take the news back. Only then can the Allied Forces perform with peace of mind. Besides, I want to see if the Nara Clan can remain as calm as they used to be!"
Tang Ping stopped his own double red flower stick from taking action.
Even if the other party knew that Aozuki's disguise was from the Shell Organization, what of it?
After this decisive battle, the entire Ninja World would submit to him. Even if they knew that the Shell Organization was his disguise, no one would dare to expose it.
Even if someone did, it wouldn't matter much.
Compared to exposing the Shell Organization's disguise, Tang Ping needed Shikaku to bring back his promise, allowing the Allied Forces to perform more confidently and also to see if the Nara Clan still dared to act as nonchalantly as before.
Joke? Tang Ping was already a whale; he didn't need another one. What kind of level was the Nara Clan at to dare to do the same thing as him?
Tang Ping was simply a hypocrite.
It was fine for him to be a whale, but not for the Nara Clan.
It could be said that when he was unhappy with someone, even breathing was a mistake.
"The Nara Clan...?"
The person beside him, Izumi, noted the name and decided to 'warm them up' if she got the chance.
As a disciple of the 'Reverse Ninja Master,' she naturally had to consider her teacher's interests.
Whoever dared to upset her teacher would face a lifetime of misery.
No! They would end their life immediately.
While they were relaxed, the atmosphere on the other side was heavy.
