Shikamaru was actually very attached to his time in the ninja school. The classmates around him had not yet faced the dark scheming of ninjas. He could learn new knowledge every day. This chakra system that was completely different from his previous life fascinated him.
After the age of ten, his body began to grow rapidly. The foundation he had laid before and his unshakable practice gave Shikamaru an almost illusion of progress every day. This feeling of being rewarded with strength for his efforts was as addictive as taking drugs.
Time does not stand still, even attachment and reluctance cannot be reversed by human will. In the blink of an eye, the school's graduation exam is finally coming, but in fact, the formal significance of this graduation exam is greater than its actual significance.
The Ninja School is different from the many schools that Shikamaru attended in his previous life. They study for exams and everything is just for credits. The mission of the Ninja School is to enable the future of Konoha to gradually survive and grow in future wars.
To get up, tests are often organized, and each test is also very strict. If you fail to pass the same test more than three times, you will have to downgrade and study again. Moreover, it can be seen from the original work that the real graduation exam is actually conducted by the ninja.
.Except for the slight change in the order of the exams, nothing about the graduation ceremony has changed. The hookup between Naruto and Mizuki was also seen. Shikamaru doubted the authenticity of the sealed book stolen by Naruto in the original work, even if it was true.
Yes, it must be under the surveillance of Sarutobi Hiruzen. If the duo of Mizuki + Naruto can take away the Sealed Book so easily, Konoha Village will not be worthy of being called the leader of the five great ninja villages. But
This also means that the plot is finally unfolding.
…………
Although he always ranked first in the ninja school, what he learned in the ninja school was only the basics of ninja.
Although the Ino Shikacho trio composed of his father Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Kaiichi, and Akimichi Choza are now on their own, the secret skills of the Nara clan are destined to be unable to achieve better results only when others cooperate.
There will be considerable limitations in growth.
Nara Shikaku and Nara Yoshino also knew to some extent the real test of becoming a genin in peacetime. Graduation from the ninja school was just the first step.
Even though it was a sumptuous dinner to celebrate Shikamaru's graduation from school, there was no warm celebration or joyful encouragement. Of course Shikamaru, who was familiar with the original novel, understood the mood of his parents, so he was not angry at his parents' performance.
After dinner, it’s time to practice hard every day.
It is not advisable to exercise strenuously after meals, so first practice mudra. There are actually few shortcuts to this. The main thing is to constantly review and familiarize yourself with various mudra. Of course, you must pay attention to taking care of your hands, especially the joints. Shikamaru is still young at this time.
His hands are young and soft, so he pays more attention to them. If he learns Xiao Li without careful consideration and without restraint, and starts physical training that puts a huge load on the body at an early age, it is easy to injure the body. In the long run,
It will definitely lead to thick and slow finger joints. This slight negligence can lead to a gap in the future. After all, Shikamaru's future path is no better than Xiao Li's. It is a pure taijutsu style. Ninjutsu is also a top priority. There must be no negligence.
.
This is the basis. The mudra system is the foundation of ninjutsu. Of course it is not that simple. Now Shikamaru is just making each mudra proficient first, and then naturally matching it with chakra, and even practicing it during exercise and when distracted.
Complete the seals in an orderly manner and be able to use ninjutsu smoothly.
After practicing the seals, it is time to climb the tree using chakra. This is not an easy task. Let’s not mention the use of chakra. Just walking on the tree trunk horizontally and upright will exert great power on the whole body.
It's quite a challenge.
Secondly, if you want to learn Kakashi's understatement in the original work, the first two steps of touching the tree trunk are indeed the key. These two actions involve the initial change of body strength and center of gravity, and the amount of chakra used needs to be carefully adjusted.
On the contrary, there have not been much changes in the follow-up. The truth is revealed in the details. Ninja and chakra are never as simple and shallow as people think. They are mysterious powers and mature and profound systems.
When the sky became darker and darker, Shikamaru ended the training and returned home. This training was not actually strenuous. After all, it was limited to physical fitness and chakra volume. The intensity of the training naturally could not be too high, but it was very boring. He was the same age as Shikamaru.
Because I am still a child and my mind is out of control, it is difficult for me to calm down and repeat this boring training. However, as I grow up, I will understand that this boring training is inevitable. The iron will of the ninja does not rely on the so-called "
It is formed by the instantaneous emotional change of "life, separation and death", but over time, enduring mental monotony and physical fatigue, and over time, condenses one's own tolerance, thus perfecting, in other words, chakra
It is formed by spiritual energy and physical energy. This ninja way is just like a mantra of Naruto in the original work. Every ninja who is independent has his own belief. This is the condensed all his will and spirit.
The spirit of "forbearance"!
After returning home and cleaning his body, Shikamaru was lying on the bed thinking that Asuma's real test tomorrow might use the same method as Kakashi in the original work. However, the chance of this is actually very small and has been passed down for many years.
How could it be possible that Konoha Village only has this method to examine the quality of genin? Moreover, every jonin has its own preferences and unique educational style. Kakashi's method can be said to be very lazy and simple.
It’s really a bit speechless to directly use lunch boxes to test the team spirit.
"Mizuki, you overestimated your abilities, thank you for Iruka, otherwise you would have become the direct creator of Dark Naruto!" Shikamaru whispered to himself, tonight was the first time that Naruto was raped.
The day of recognition was also the most important turning point in Naruto's life. Naruto, who had been betrayed by the people he believed in, found someone willing to accept him at the same time. His persistence in "trying hard to be recognized by others" was recognized for the first time.
"Child of destiny, I hope you will not come to the opposite side of me, otherwise you will only die prematurely..."
…………
Shikamaru had already finished arranging his clothes early the next morning. Although he had no choice but to wear the Nara clan's unique hairstyle as in the original work, the iconic ponytail was really uncomfortable, and he was wearing light clothes.
He wears a pure black high-necked short-sleeved vest attached to his body, dark blue eight-point straight pants, leggings, and a pair of black rubber shoes. He pins the forehead protector behind his right arm like the original, and then checks carefully
After checking the items in the ninja bag - this is an important tool for a ninja, one must be cautious - he said hello to his parents and went out.
The graduating students were notified yesterday to gather back at school the next day and be divided into groups. Shikamaru also made an appointment with a few close classmates to rush to school together. He didn't want to be late.
After waiting at the intersection for five or six minutes, Shino, Ino, Kiba and Choji all arrived one after another. The five of them walked to school chatting and laughing. The faces of the teenagers wearing brand-new Konoha forehead protectors were more or less revealed.
Complacency and arrogance.
"Shikamaru, do you think the three of us will be divided into a group?" Kiba said and pointed at Shino. Kiba had always looked down on Choji who was always eating. In comparison, he had good grades and a good personality.
The good Shikamaru got along better with Shino who didn't like to talk but occasionally quarreled with him, so he had this question.
"Ga, this is impossible." Without Shikamaru's words, Shino had already answered Kiba's question for him: "The Nara clan, the Yamanaka clan and the Akimichi clan are family friends. Mr. Shikaku, Mr. Haiichi and Mr. Choza are known by people.
They are called the trio of 'Ino, Deer and Butterfly'. As their children, their family, school and even the Hokage will not want to exclude them."
After listening to his words, Inuzuka Kiba looked at the expressions of Ino and Choji and found that they looked at him with contempt, obviously not expecting him to ask such an ignorant question.
"However, Kiba, it is quite possible that you and Shino will be paired together." Looking at Kiba who was blushing, Shikamaru comforted him: "You are better at physical skills, but your theoretical scores are very poor. Shino is the opposite of you.
, and your personality is more impatient, while Shino has always been calm. If the two of you complement each other in all aspects as a team, the school should also think of this."
"Really? I didn't expect any of this." Shino ignored the chattering teeth that ran to him again, and looked at Shikamaru with some surprise. Although Shikamaru, who had read the original work, didn't need to think about these things in detail,
But in the eyes of Shino, who was only twelve years old, it was enough to surprise him that his peers could deduce this.
The journey was not too far, and the people's walking strength was not bad. They arrived at the school quickly, and then without any surprise, they saw Naruto showing off his forehead protector among the teachers to the students around him. He looked very satisfied and satisfied.
It was full of ambition at this time.
So far, it seems that the plot has not changed much.
Next, just like the original work, Iruka gave a brief speech, and then divided into groups. Just as Shikamaru expected, although he was always first in school, he was still in a group with Ino and Choji. People would not
Stupid enough to let the new generation of pigs, deer and butterflies separate.
Sasuke and Naruto are also in a group - it is perfect for Kakashi, who is one of the strongest among jounin, to protect the jinchuriki Naruto and teach Sasuke who also has the Sharingan.
Although Sarutobi Asuma has a decadent appearance and temperament, he is still more reliable than Kakashi. He did not let Shikamaru and the others wait long before taking them to the rooftop of the school.
"Then, from today on, I will be the instructor of Class 10 where you are. My name is Sarutobi Asuma, and you can call me Asuma-sensei." Sarutobi Asma gave a brief introduction to the three of them.
His self-introduction, inheriting the face of the Third Hokage, and being a bit slovenly in character and appearance, can indeed easily make a little girl like Ino feel distrustful. Seeing Asuma preparing to smoke, Ino deliberately used
Staring at him with a straight look, Asuma gave a bitter smile, held the cigarette in his mouth without lighting it, and added: "I like smoking, but I hate not being able to smoke. My ideal is to defeat everyone in the village with shogi." Below.
, it’s your turn to introduce yourselves.”
Asuma Sarutobi crossed his arms, leaned against the railing, and raised his chin towards Shikamaru, who was in the middle of the three, with a kind smile like a good old man.
Unlike the unmotivated Shikamaru in the original work, the current Shikamaru is the core of the three Ino, Shika and Butterfly. Asuma, as a Jonin, easily discovered this.
"My name is Nara Shikamaru. I like to think and hate noise. My ideal..." Shikamaru paused and said, "My ideal is to become a great ninja who can protect Konoha." There is no need to talk about Naruto like Naruto.
To arouse others' defenses, isn't Naruto a great ninja who protects Konoha?
Ino and Choji also gave a brief introduction afterwards.
"Then, today I will give you a day to get to know each other and cultivate feelings. At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, bring your ninja tools and gather at the gate of Konoha. I want to test you." After saying that, he ignored Ino's raised voice.
There was no seal on the right hand, and it turned into a black shadow and left.
"What do you mean? Mr. Asuma didn't even explain the test." Ino put down her right hand and said dissatisfied.
"Have you taken the Clone Technique exam many times before in the graduation exam? Don't you think it's too simple?" Shikamaru said expressionlessly.
"Yeah, I thought it was strange too. It made me worry all night before the exam." Choci said.
"If the ninja school only relies on the ability to successfully use ninjutsu to judge the qualifications to become a genin, it would be too irresponsible." Shikamaru said to the two of them: "The highlight will definitely be tomorrow's test, we must be mentally prepared
