章 72: Meeting Nara Shikaku

According to Izumi's guidance, Zhang Miao quickly ran to the small forest on the left side of the Academy. At this time, the students who had just finished class started coming out.

Itachi was also among them. When he saw Zhang Miao, he immediately walked towards him with a puzzled face.

"Ryunosuke? You..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Miao directly waved his hand and interrupted him.

"Listen to me first. Just now, Izumi told me that she saw a girl practicing with her sword around here. Where is she?"

"Well..."

Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Itachi thought for a while before opening his mouth again.

"I don't know the girl that Izumi was talking about, but I think she should be at a near training ground. If you walk along the road for about 100 meters, you will arrive there, but..."

Itachi seemed to want to say something, but Zhang Miao couldn't wait any longer and immediately waved at him.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you. Bye!"

After saying that, Zhang Miao ran forward, leaving the muttering Itachi behind.

"... But they are in a middle of a class right now!"

Obviously, Zhang Miao could not hear him.

At this time, Zhang Miao was afraid that he would not be able to find Ying's sister if he was slow, so he rushed at full speed. After a while, he arrived at the training ground that Itachi mentioned.

However, when he arrived at the training ground, he found that there were many students around, including the students that defeated yesterday.

They seemed to recognize him. The moment Zhang Miao appeared, the kid who was kicked down by Zhang Miao shouted.

"It's him! He was the one who injured Ikeda-sensei!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Miao immediately heard the system prompt.

"[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining ordinary ninja fragments x5!]"

"[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining ordinary ninja fragments x3!]"

"[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining ordinary ninja fragments x4!]"

"[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining...]"

The system announcement rang out for more than twenty times, and Zhang Miao was stunned.

"Damn! What was that?"

Usually, Zhang Miao would be happy to find an easy way to obtain ninja fragmens. But he didn't come here for this, so he froze for a moment before coming back to his senses.

Looking at some curious kids who were looking at him, Zhang Miao immediately frowned.

"I am looking for a girl who is proficient in swordsmanship. Who are you?"

Hearing Zhang Miao's words, the surrounding children looked at each other, but no one spoke. Seeing this scene, Zhang Miao frowned even more.

"Is she not here, or is my way of asking questions wrong?"

Just as Zhang Miao was wondering if he should go to other places to search, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Are you the one who knocked down Ikeda-sensei? Haha, not bad!"

Hearing this voice, Zhang Miao looked up and saw a young man with pineapple-like hair and two scars on his face standing in front of him.

Looking at this person, Zhang Miao's eyes suddenly flashed a trace of doubt.

"This person seems a bit familiar, especially this hairstyle... it's him...!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Miao suddenly widened his eyes, and then pointed to the taller guy and shouted.

"I remember, you are Shikamaru's father, Konoha's number one thinker, Nara Shikaku !"

"Ha?"

After hearing Zhang Miao's words, the man was stunned, and then he could not help but laugh.

"Hahahaha, I am indeed Shikamaru's father, but I can't afford to be called Konoha's number one thinker,"

"What about you, the little genius who defeated Ikeda? what is your name? "

"Zhang Miao still admired this person, so after hearing his words, Zhang Miao answered him very seriously."

"My formal name is Uzumaki Ryunosuke, but if it is Uncle Shikaku, you can call me Ryu, the one that looked like a dragon!"

"Haha, what an interesting little guy!"

Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Shikaku Nara laughed again.

"Okay, then I will call you Ryu. Little Ryu, we have finished class now. I am preparing to go home. Do you want to go to my house and get to know Shikamaru?"

As soon as Shikaku finished his words, the prompt inside Zhang Miao's mind suddenly sounded.

"[Ding! obtained 6-star Jonin, Nara Shikaku Fragments x5!]"

Hearing this prompt from the system, Zhang Miao immediately understood that Shikaku sincerely invited him to his house. In other words, this was also a rare opportunity to collect Shikamaru's fragments!

Zhang Miao knew the importance of collecting the Ninja Fragments because it was directly related to his growth. However, it was also very important to find Ying's sister because it was important for her resurrection.

"I can collect the Shikamaru's fragmentts. Now, I have to find Ying's sister first!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Miao suddenly shook his head with a serious face.

"Uncle Shikaku, I am very sorry. Although I really want to become friends with your son Shikamaru, I promised a big sis I know that I would become friends with her little sister, so I have to refuse. I am sorry!"

Zhang Miao said what he wanted to say, because he knew very well that it was useless to play tricks in front of the of Konoha's "military advisor", and it might only backfire.

Not only Shikaku, but Zhang Miao also didn't wanto deal with the Akimichis and Yamanakas with the same way he deal with Fugaku. He was going to gain their trust with sincerity.

Reality proved that Zhang Miao was right. After hearing his words, Shikaku suddenly opened his eyes wide in surprise and looked deeply at him before nodding.

"Well, I understand. What you did was right, so you don't have to apologize for this."

After saying that, Shikaku patted Zhang Miao on the shoulder and smiled at him.

"You can come any time. If Shikamaru can have a friend like you, I will be happy for him!"

As soon as Shikaku finished his words, the system prompt sounded in Zhang Miao's mind again.

"[Ding! obtained 6-star Jonin, Nara Shikaku Fragments x5!]"

The system would not lie. Since even the system prompted him that he had obtained Shikaku's Ninja Fragment, it meant that the other party had truly acknowledged him.

So when he heard this notification, Zhang Miao immediately laughed.

"Thank you, Uncle Shikaku. I will visit your house when I have the time!"

"Un!"

Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Shikaku nodded again and then turned to leave. When he turned around, his voice reached Zhang Miao's ears again.

"The person you are looking for might be still around. You can wait here for a while. Goodbye!"

Hearing Shikaku's words, Zhang Miao hurriedly nodded.

"I understand. Goodbye, Uncle Shikaku!"

Shikaku left, and the students followed him out of the training ground. Soon, only Zhang Miao was left in the training ground.

Looking at the empty training ground, Zhang Miao leaned against a training stake and sighed helplessly.

"Sigh, she's too hard to find. I wonder if the girl Izumi told me is really the person I am looking for. Ying has really given me a difficult problem!"

Just as Zhang Miao was wondering whether Ying's sister was still around, a voice suddenly came above his head.

"Why are you looking for me? And where is my sister?"
