Wok Shadow Ninja

Chapter 371: Group Blind Date

The Fourth Raikage often smashed his own desk, so the Cloud Village had made him one of fine steel. At this moment, his fist slammed on the tabletop, making a "thump, thump" sound.

Their boss was just like that; C and Darui were used to it.

Darui was lazy by nature, so he signaled for C to go and see.

With his short blond hair, handsome face, and fair skin, C's style was completely different from the dark-skinned ninjas of the Cloud Village. He picked up the document and quickly scanned it, a touch of joy appearing on his face.

"Lord Raikage, this is a good thing."

Before he could finish, the Fourth Raikage slammed his fist on the table. "Good my ass! Do you think I don't know what those guys are thinking? Aren't they just trying to bet on both sides before the war starts?!"

C waited quietly. Darui, on the side, crossed his arms and closed his eyes to rest.

After the Fourth Raikage finished venting, C continued, "Lord Raikage, this is a good thing. Whether it's to confuse the Stone Village or to confuse Konoha, it's a good thing."

The Fourth Raikage stared at him intently. "How do you want me to tell B? That his student is going to marry into Konoha? If they meet on the battlefield in the future, what will B think? How will that child, Karui, face herself?"

C answered frankly, "There is no justice or evil in war. The Cloud Village wants to fight for more living space, and Konoha wants to protect its existing interests. It's that simple. We are ninjas, and so is Karui. Any choice she makes is her personal matter, and it has nothing to do with the ninja village, nor with Lord B."

The Fourth Raikage was so angry he started punching and kicking, completely dismantling the fine steel desk into pieces.

"Go get B and Karui. I'll talk to them!"

"Yes." x2.

Two days later, Konoha received a personal letter from the Fourth Raikage of the Cloud Village.

The matter was simple: a ninja family from the Cloud Village wanted to form a marriage alliance with a ninja family from Konoha.

The Cloud Village was prepared to marry Karui over. Karui was the disciple of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer B, and also had a ninja family behind her, so her status was very high. Konoha naturally had to pay attention to a good match.

What are you saying? The Fifth Hokage isn't married either? You lecherous demon, don't you dare harm a 15-year-old girl!

The Hokage was definitely out. Kakashi and the others were basically all married, and even if they weren't, their ages were not suitable.

The Konoha 12 entered the sight of the higher-ups.

The four female ninjas were removed first. Sasuke had his brother behind him. If Itachi knew that Konoha had found him a black sister-in-law, would he explode on the spot? Sasuke was out.

Similarly, Naruto, a hot-blooded youth who could burn a vampire's mouth, was also kicked off the list. Jiraiya's reason was that Naruto was still young.

Rock Lee had no ninja clan support, so he was not suitable.

Shino? Who's that? Not suitable.

Hiashi Hyuga made the decision for Neji: We are a Byakugan family, we don't want a black person! Neji also left the candidate list.

In the end, only Shikamaru, Choji, and Kiba Inuzuka were left.

Shikaku, as the representative of the ninja families in the village's high-level leadership, did not express any opinion in this session. Danzō secretly pushed the whole matter, so he naturally expressed his approval. Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura still held a sliver of illusion about ending the war. A female ninja is marrying over, we're not at a loss. The two of them agreed, and the matter was settled.

The three spirited young men were to go to the Cloud Village for Karui to choose from. Whoever was suitable, the marriage could then be settled.

To put it bluntly, this was a private matter, but in the current environment, a private matter had also become a public affair.

Sending the three of them directly? A bit dangerous.

Send Jounin to protect them? Sending too few would be useless; sending too many might make the Cloud Village turn hostile.

The Cloud Village was marrying off a daughter. For the sake of face, Konoha couldn't say no.

What to do? Ino, who was quite capable, young, knew the Fourth Raikage, Killer B, and Karui, and had a similar status, became the three's Jounin bodyguard.

She was to escort these three spirited young men on their blind date.

How to handle it after that would be decided by the two ninja villages.

Ino had no opinion on this. After packing her bags, she waited for the three at the village gate.

Shikamaru and Choji were old friends, so there was nothing to say. She wasn't familiar with Kiba Inuzuka at school, and… she wasn't familiar now either. But this dog lover, along with Shikamaru, Choji, and Naruto, were the four great truancy kings of the Ninja Academy. Their relationship was very good, so there wouldn't be any communication problems.

The usually laziest Shikamaru was the first to arrive.

Looking at the white clouds in the sky, he thought and thought, but still said to Ino in a low voice, "Let Choji perform well this time."

"Uncle Shikaku hopes you will fight for it, right?" Ino asked.

Shikamaru scratched his head. "He said to let me grasp it myself. This kind of thing, how can I grasp it? Once the war starts, it will be really troublesome."

Ino didn't pick up on this topic. Anyway, there were a lot of inside stories in this matter, so it might not happen. She seemed to be on the first layer, but was actually on the tenth layer…

Choji arrived later, carrying large and small bags, looking nervous, as if he were not going on a blind date, but to fight someone to the death.

Kiba Inuzuka came last. He was chased over by a girl with long chestnut hair.

"Bastard! You dare to go on a blind date! See if I don't beat you to death!"

A cat was perched on the shoulder of the long-haired chestnut girl, while Akamaru, the ninja dog Kiba had raised since he was a child, had grown up and was following his master. Whenever the long-haired chestnut girl's cat meowed, it would also bark back twice.

Kiba was getting anxious from being beaten. He stopped, turned around, and retorted, "What's wrong with a blind date? The female ninjas of the Cloud Village are gentler than you, a cat slave!"

The long-haired chestnut girl was furious. "Cats never fawn on humans! Cats are the ultimate creatures standing at the top of the world!"

Kiba was extremely dissatisfied. "Nonsense! Dogs are the best. A dog remembers a person's kindness after being raised for three days! A cat can't be tamed even after being raised for three years! Tamaki, don't you even understand this principle?"

"Cats are the noblest!"

"Dogs are the most loyal!"

Ino, Shikamaru, Choji: "..."

The three of them stood there like fools at the gate of Konoha Village, watching Kiba Inuzuka and the female ninja named Tamaki fiercely arguing about the pros and cons of cats and dogs. Neither side would give in. In the end, the cats and dogs they each raised also started fighting.

Akamaru was large and well-trained. Tamaki seemed to only have one cat on her shoulder, but after the battle began, six small kittens instantly drilled out of her clothes. Seven cats fought against Akamaru, and it was a lively scene.

Ino didn't take it seriously at first, but as she watched, she found that Choji was trembling on the side.

"What are you trembling for? What does this have to do with you?"

Choji's face was full of fear. "Will I become like this in the future? It's too scary!"

Shikamaru nodded with lingering fear on the side. He really didn't want to go on a blind date. Oh heavens, spare me, I'm still a child!
