"In this official selection, your first opponent is Yamanaka Ino. In terms of strength, she is no match for you. As long as you pay attention to her secret skills, winning will not be a problem." Kakashi Hatake said to Uchi, who looked solemn.
Hasasuke said.
This place is on a cliff far away from residential areas. There are no plants around, only some strange rocks are scattered. At a glance, it is difficult for outsiders to hide.
Kakashi Hatake taught Uchiha Sasuke the trick he would use as a killer - Chidori, which was noisy and conspicuous. In order to prevent other competitors from getting the information in advance, he took Uchiha Sasuke and chose this place.
Even if there are peepers at the training location, it would be difficult to hide in such an environment.
"What you need to pay attention to are the other candidates, especially Nara Shikamaru and Gaara from Sunagakure Village." Hatake Kakashi said.
"That gourd from Sunagakure Village?" Uchiha Sasuke didn't see the match between Gaara and Rock Lee. Although he heard Kakashi Hatake recount it, he still wasn't as shocked as seeing it with his own eyes, so he asked.
: "Isn't he in a team with Nara Shikamaru? Do you think Nara Shikamaru is not his opponent!?"
"Even Rock Lee, who used the Eight Gate Dungeon to open the five gates in his body, couldn't defeat him. Even Nara Shikamaru may not be his opponent." Hatake Kakashi shook his head and said.
Uchiha Sasuke still had a trace of doubt on his face. As his opponent who had been suppressing him for many years, there were few people who knew Shikamaru's strength better than Sasuke. Moreover, he had never seen Gaara's terror with his own eyes. Hatake Kaka
He was not completely convinced by what Xi said.
"No matter which one of them can advance." After Hatake Kakashi saw Uchiha Sasuke's expression, he no longer bothered to explain, and just said: "Chidori can make you fight against Nara Shikamaru's Rasengan,
It also gives you the ability to penetrate Gaara's defense. With the Sharingan, your hit rate with Chidori is much higher than Shikamaru's Rasengan, and Gaara's sand can't catch you."
Hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke nodded calmly.

"Where is Gaara?"
Maki opened the door and walked into the room. He glanced around and found that only Temari was sitting on the floor, so he asked aloud.
"He went out on his own, I couldn't stop him." Temari saw Ma Ji asking and stood up slightly uneasily.
Maki couldn't help but frown when he heard this, but he didn't mean to blame Temari. Although he had told Temari to keep an eye on Gaara before, in fact, if Gaara really wanted to do something, Temari alone couldn't control it.
Kankuro's injuries had long since been healed by Konoha's medical ninjas, and he was sent out of Konoha Village. Now, only two genin, Maki, Temari, and Gaara, are left in the Sunagakure Village team, and they have many inconveniences in their movements.
Maki sighed and asked his opponent: "Gaara, didn't he say what he was going to do?"
"He said he was just going out for a walk." Temari frowned slightly as she answered Ma Ji, and then asked, "Did you get any information?"
The purpose of Maki's solo action was to find out some information, mainly about the situation of Gaara and Temari's competitors.
If before the battle between Gaara and Rock Lee, the Sand Hidden Village team including Maki had more or less despised the Konoha candidates because of the strength of the three genin, after witnessing this extremely gorgeous battle
Finally, there was not even a trace left.
The final blow of Rock Lee's "Ura Renka", if Gaara hadn't reacted quickly enough and used the gourd made of sand as a buffer, he would have been seriously injured, and he might have even been seriously injured and comatose, losing all inhibitions in his body.
The power of the crane exposes the jinchuriki's identity! This is very detrimental to the plan of Sunagakure Village.
In view of this, Maji consciously inquired about some information about Konoha candidates from the Konoha villagers, especially Shikamaru, who was going to face Gaara in the first round, but it was inconvenient for him to bring Temari and Gaara with him.
Luo Luo wandered around together. This is actually the privilege and advantage possessed by the big country as the host.
True fairness will never exist, let alone competition between countries. As the leader among the allies, Konoha Village holds the Chunin Examination as the host. Although it will not blatantly favor Konoha candidates, it does not
As for the foolish insistence on fairness.
Let's just say that before the official selection, during the one-month preparation time, candidates from Konoha Village can take the opportunity to train on the information exposed by other competitors in the preliminary selection. In order to prevent the leakage of Ninja Village secrets, candidates from other Ninja Villages are
If you are asked not to wander around in Konohagakure, there is no problem in commercial streets and other areas where people come and go, but if you want to go to the wilderness frequently, it is not.
Don't underestimate this, this alone can greatly increase the possibility of Konoha candidates defeating ninjas from other villages, thereby showing the strength of Konoha ninjas and Konoha Village in the subsequent official selection promotion battle, and influencing the intentions of employers.
.
In fact, other countries understand this in their hearts to some extent. Although they are unwilling to do so, they can only do this, or in other words, they have to do this.
If a big country doesn't try its best to seek benefits for its own country, how can it be so generous that it considers other countries at all times? Since the Fire Nation is the well-deserved leader among its neighboring countries, no matter what happens, it must naturally do so for itself when dividing the cake.
To seize the biggest piece, the Chuunin Exam is a precious opportunity to promote the strength of each Ninja Village. At a time when task rewards are the main financial income of Ninja Villages, Konoha attaches great importance to various opportunities to promote Ninja Villages. It would be other Ninja Villages.
Being a host does not necessarily have the atmosphere of Konoha Village, and does not manipulate the environment. It just gives the Ninja Village candidates an extra month to practice.
"The Konoha genin named Nara Shikamaru is very strong and has the reputation of "Konoha's number one genius". He can face the jonin of Kirigakure Village at a young age. In comparison, Uchiha Sasuke and Hinata of the Uchiha clan
Even the Hyuga Neji of the clan is no match for him." Maki said with a frown, thinking of the information he had gathered, he made a final conclusion for Shikamaru: "It's not easy to deal with!"
"I'm afraid Rock Lee's taijutsu can't be found anywhere else in the entire Konoha Village, or even among the genin in the entire ninja world!" Hearing this, Temari thought of the man who once suppressed her and Kankuro.
The breathless figure said unwillingly: "That guy named Nara Shikamaru may not be stronger than him."
"Don't you understand yet!?" Ma Ji glared at Temari, and for the first time he felt a little disappointed with this subordinate who had always made him worry-free: "Gaara's strength has been exposed too much. In this month,
, with that genin’s ability, he will definitely work hard to find the technique to defeat Gaara.”
"If Gaara is careless, is really defeated by the opponent, loses his mind, and Shukaku loses control of his power, our plan will be exposed!"
…………
"Crack!"
Nara Shikaku threw the "Shadow Show" with his hand, bringing up a cold light in mid-air and nailing it to the grass next to a small tree not far away.
Shikamaru, who was standing next to Nara Shikaku, stared at him intently, occasionally casting his gaze on the "Kage Show" in the distance.
The new technique named "Shadow Summoning Technique" by Shikamaru was finally created after nearly three weeks of overcoming numerous difficulties!
Under Shikamaru's gaze, Nara Shikaku formed a seal with one hand, and concentrated on the practice between the chakra in his body and the chakra in the "Shadow Show", controlling the spiritual energy in the chakra in his body, and promoting the two chakras.
Carat's sense gradually strengthened, and at the same time, the gestures of the right hand that formed the joint seal changed. With a low cry, a jet-black, substantial shadow tentacle suddenly sprang out from the "shadow show" inserted in the grass in the shape of a needle.
, like a poisonous snake, and like a spear, it pierces the trunk of the small tree next to it with one bend and one stretch.
Nara Shikaku concentrated again, and then two more substantial shadow tentacles sprang out from the "Shadow Show" like sharp spears, piercing the trunks of small trees one after another.
Seeing this, Shikamaru couldn't help but look happy, finally confirming the success of the new technique with his own eyes. After the demonstration, Nara Shikaku also dispersed the chakra. The chakra stored in the "Kage Show" lost its guidance and slowly returned.
into it.
"I first input the chakra that has changed its nature into the 'Kage Show', and then use the chakra in the body to control the spiritual energy in it, and guide the 'Yin' attribute chakra in the 'Kage Show' with the hand seals." Shikaku Nara
Explaining to Shikamaru: "But there is a limit to perception. As the amount of chakra and control ability increase, I can probably perceive and control it within two to ten meters of my body."
Shikamaru nodded. The attack distance of twenty meters is not short anymore. Many long-distance attack ninjutsu are no longer enough to guarantee the lethality at this distance. Nara Shikaku said: "But correspondingly,'
What is stored in the "Shadow Show" is the "Yin" attribute chakra that has undergone changes in nature, so it cannot exert the binding effect of the "Shadow Mimicry Shuriken"."
You can't have both, and there's nothing you can do about it, Shikamaru sighed and thought to himself.
Even so, the shadow summoning technique is also a very useful ninjutsu. Especially when the enemy is caught off guard, it can even achieve the effect of killing with one hit. When combined with the effect of the "shadow imitation technique shuriken", it can often also achieve the effect of killing.
It has the effect of confusing the enemy, making it difficult for people to guard against it.
"You have learned the Shadow Seam and the technique of changing the nature of the 'Yin' attribute chakra. The main difficulty in learning this new technique is how to sense and guide it." Nara Shikaku stepped forward and nailed the "Shadow Show" on the grass.
"Picked it back up, shook off some dirt on the blade and handed it back to Shikamaru, saying: "But you have always been good at chakra control, you should be able to master it soon."
Shikamaru learned Shadow Sewing very quickly, which was a result of his chakra control ability and also relied on the foundation he laid when he was young.
"I know!" After Shikamaru responded to Nara Shikaku's words, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He had already learned the most difficult nature change to master. It is actually not difficult to learn the "Shadow Summoning Technique"!
