Asuma took a deep breath from the cigarette, and then unconsciously blew out a string of smoke rings. He was now a little unsure of his own judgment. The one in Ino's hand was not a real cigarette, and neither was the one in Choji's hand. Logically speaking, it was most likely that
It is in the hands of Shikamaru, but his previous judgment and behavior seemed to be within Shikamaru's expectations, so it should be in the hands of Choji? But who knows whether Shikamaru can guess what he is thinking now.
As a jounin, Asuma shouldn't be so hesitant. Shikamaru's ability to see into people's minds made him a little afraid. Asuma looked at his watch. From the beginning of the mission to now, he was already over forty.
Minutes, apart from chasing, interrogating Choji and subduing Shikamaru using genjutsu took the most time. Looking at the time, I can only chase Shikamaru. It has been nearly twenty minutes since he subdued him. If I chase Choji,
Shikamaru would have enough time to return to Konoha. Asuma had no choice but to chase Shikamaru.
…………
Shikamaru, who was leaping quickly in the forest, roughly calculated the time and felt that Asuma was about to catch up with him, so he formed a seal with his hands: "Shadow Clone Technique!", and a shadow clone appeared next to him and pointed at him.
He nodded and continued to move forward. Although it requires a lot of chakra consumption, shadow clones are very practical ninjutsu in many situations, so Shikamaru once deliberately learned it from Nara Shikaku.
Of course, Shikamaru is not Naruto, so it is impossible to use shadow clones to practice. Shadow clones are practiced through experience. I have seen many fans saying that shadow clones can cultivate chakra, which makes people dumbfounded. Shadow clones are used by the caster to use chakra.
Production, there is no body at all. The shadow clone mentioned in the original book only increases the experience of training. How to practice chakra that extracts energy from body? Moreover, excessive consumption of chakra is very harmful to the body. Naruto is due to having
The Nine-Tails is sealed in the body. After the chakra is exhausted, it will be replenished by the chakra that he sealed with the Nine-Tails and the Nine-Tails. Kakashi knows this method, why didn't he use it when training Sasuke for the Chunin Exam? No one else, except Naruto
That cheating character, who can use the multiple shadow clone technique to train? Is it too long-lived?
Shikamaru's body was quietly hidden in the shadows, not thinking about victory or defeat, and no longer thinking about Asuma's follow-up actions. He recalled how he often sat quietly in the special small dark room at home, and
His mind completely melted into the darkness, imagining himself as a part of the darkness, like wandering in the darkness in his previous life, like the silence after death. His heart beat slowly, and his breathing was slow and long. Shikamaru had studied yoga seriously in his previous life, which helped him a lot.
, there is no need to hold your breath, as reduced oxygen will increase the burden on the heart and make it beat more violently.
Shikamaru watched quietly as Asuma passed by from a short distance away, chasing after the shadow clone he created. After waiting for a while, he walked out of the shadows and quickly rushed towards Konoha from the other direction.
Only three minutes had passed. Shikamaru, who was leaping, gave a wry smile. The time to use the shadow clone was up, which also meant that Asuma would catch up with him immediately. Thinking of this, Shikamaru couldn't help but speed up.
…………
Asuma dodged the eight shurikens, "Pah!" He raised his left arm to block Shikamaru's high-leaping side kick, grabbed Shikamaru's ankle, and threw him out. Shikamaru's shadow
The Imitation Technique has just been used, but Asuma has already thrown him away. He is still unable to use the shadow imitation technique with one hand like Shikaku Nara, nor can he form the back seal like Shikamaru in the second part of the original work.
You can cast shadow imitation without maintaining the hand seal.
He turned around, stepped on the tree trunk with both feet and kicked hard, quickly rushed towards Asuma, and at the same time formed a seal with both hands: "Clone Technique!"
A burst of smoke temporarily blocked Asuma's sight, and a total of five Shikamaru rushed towards Asuma. Asuma curled his lips, ignored the other three Shikamaru's kicks, and grabbed one of them by the ankle.
It hit the other one, "Bang!" The smoke dispersed, and one of them was a shadow clone.
Shikamaru, who was smashed into a gourd, quickly stood up and his eyes flickered, but he still did not jump back into the shadow of the woods to avoid Asuma's sight. He had very few cards now, this was just a test
, Judging from the time, the three of them will also win, there is no need to directly expose his lurking skills.
Asuma did not pursue. After looking at his watch, he asked Shikamaru bluntly: "Don't you have the cigarette on you?" Time is running out now. It's less than ten minutes before the end of the hour. Shikamaru's previous battle
It also focuses on procrastination and entanglement, rather than hiding and running away. If Shikamaru has a cigarette on him, he should avoid facing Asuma.
"..." Shikamaru nodded.
"Choji is almost back to the gate of Konoha..." Asuma seemed to be talking to himself, lighting a cigarette for himself, his expression looked a little annoyed: "Really, he lost to three people
Genin brat."
Hearing Asuma's words, Shikamaru relaxed slightly. Asuma's attitude proved that his guess was correct, and they passed this test.
Shikamaru, who rushed back to Konoha with Asuma, unexpectedly saw Choji with the chuunin on duty, Kamizuki Izumo. After waiting for a while, Ino also rushed back from the woods.
"Although I don't want to admit it, you passed the second test perfectly. From today on, you are real genin." After Shikamaru told Ino the news of passing the test, Asuma said to the three of them: "
As the first day of officially becoming your instructor, I decided to treat you to a barbecue!"
…………
In the BBQ restaurant, Ino hesitated for a while and asked doubtfully: "Asuma-sensei, why don't you do the third test?"
Choji almost choked at these words, and finally stopped eating and stared at Ino fiercely. Since the three of them had passed the test, Ino's question naturally seemed a bit redundant.
Asuma smiled when he heard this, but did not answer. Instead, he said to Shikamaru: "Tell me about your strategy in the second test."
After Shikamaru thought silently, he raised three fingers and said to the three of them: "My plan for the second test relied on only three points - the tacit understanding with my teammates, the understanding of the way of thinking, and
Analysis of intelligence.”
"I grew up playing with Chouji and Ino, so I understand the two of them very well. I turned the cigarette into a chocolate bar and put it in the box without them seeing it, because I was sure that Chouji would definitely
Take that box of chocolate bars back." Shikamaru smiled at Choji. No matter how friendly he is, being kept in the dark can cause emotions, so he just took this opportunity to find out.
"This move is not deliberate. It is due to Dingci's character and habits. Therefore, even if you use illusions, if you cannot take the initiative to ask this question, Dingci will not take the initiative to talk about it. Dingci is thinking that he is being taken.
After buying real cigarettes, you will definitely feel that you have betrayed our trust and be angry..." After saying this, Shikamaru smiled apologetically at Choji and then continued: "The angry Choji will launch an offensive against the snacks. They have already been opened, so it's easy.
The spoiled chocolate bar will become his first choice, and Choji will be the first to discover the real cigarette. This is a tacit understanding with his teammates."
"You borrowed the ninja bag from Ino before, deliberately explained it, and also deliberately let Choji see you looking at Senbon, all in order to let Choji's subconscious remember this 'strange' behavior and downplay the previous behavior?" Ah
Sima explained that after the illusion hypnosis, the subject is not awake. He only knows how to answer questions mechanically. He cannot talk as usual. He even actively talks about things that his subconscious thinks are common things such as what he eats today and what color his underwear is.
the other party said.
"Yes, after you waste time on hypnosis, Ino will distance herself from you. After catching up with Ino and discovering that she does not actually have a real cigarette in her hand, you will be in a dilemma." Looking at Shikamaru calmly.
On his face, Asuma couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "In fact, if your shadow clone hadn't misled me, I should still have time to catch up with Choji after I caught up with you. When you first ambush me, it seemed
He tried his best, but actually he spared no effort at all and was misleading me."
Shikamaru nodded and said, "This is a reflection on the way of thinking."
"What about the last point? What information?" Asuma asked.
"First, you can get information about our foot strength in the first test. Therefore, I have the information that 'the other party knows our foot strength', and I can know the order in which you chase; second, I know that you are on
Ren, I have information about your general strength. I can tell that the three of us combined are no match for you. We can only disperse. Entangling you in the battle will not be very effective. It can only delay you from the journey;
Third, this is a genin test, so you will not interrogate me with real intelligence torture; fourth..." Shikamaru paused and deliberately showed a bitter smile.
"Is there a fourth point?" The first three points of 'intelligence' analyzed by Shikamaru were as expected by Asuma, but he did not expect that there was a fourth point.
"Fourth, your third test... the second test you set for us did not exceed our limits and became an impossible task. So it can be said that you still want us to win this test.
Isn't that right? You didn't use the shadow clone. This is the basis for my entire plan to be completed." Shikamaru was silent after finishing speaking. If Asuma had done something like Kakashi grabbing the bell in the original work,
It was an impossible task, and Shikamaru had no need to set up such a big trap. In the face of absolute strength, any resourcefulness could only be an auxiliary. For example, if Asuma used shadow clones to chase them separately from the beginning this time,
Three people!
But this is contrary to the idea of this test that Asma specially planned. Since you are not supposed to complete it in the first place, why bother to make it so troublesome? Ninjas are not so leisurely, and even if they are leisurely, they are not boring to the point of death.
This kind of test is a waste of time. So just relying on three people to act recklessly or rush without a plan will definitely not pass this test. This is also the second point of the second assessment, and it is also very likely to be the third test.
After listening to Shikamaru's words, Asuma seemed a little silent, analyzing, planning, inducing... Shikamaru's various strategies had even made him appreciate it and become amazed. From this aspect, many jounin were
Not as good as Shikamaru.
Asuma calmed down his thoughts a little and said: "When ninjas perform tasks, they often act with their companions. If you want to complete the task, you must better cooperate with your companions. If you are in a leadership position in this team,
Then you need to understand everyone around you as quickly and best as possible; if you are the executor, then you must obey the orders completely. Understanding this is the greatest help to the team. This is what I said in the second
The test for you in this test is also my third test - teamwork. As a result... you passed it perfectly. I want to congratulate you. From today on, you are the ninjas of Konoha Ninja Village!
"
…………
The next day, in the Hokage's office, the guiding jonins of the ten squads composed of genin who graduated this year came to the Hokage's office and reported to the Hokage the assessment status of their genin within three days.
Basically, the major ninja villages have different attitudes towards genin. For example, Kirigakure Village believes in the laws of nature, the weak and the strong, survival of the fittest; Konoha Village is different, using testing and other methods to select those who are outstanding and those who are not outstanding enough.
If you continue to learn, in the short term, the genin of Kirigakure Village will be much better than the same level after fierce battles. But in the long term, select good enough genin and train them with all your heart, so that the genin who are still relatively weak can continue to learn.
, in the future, it can bring more talents and fresh blood to Konoha, and it will also be easier for young people to not have a centripetal force towards the Ninja Village - like Kirigakure, it is difficult to prevent the surviving children from feeling resentment towards the village.
Moreover, they lost their lives and lost the seeds that could create future generations of ninjas.
Therefore, the past generations of Hokage have attached great importance to the graduation of Konoha genin. Three days after the test, the Hokage will listen to each jounin's evaluation of the genin and decide the attitude towards future treatment, such as: acceptable task level, insufficient strength
If you are good at it, use the lowest level and safer tasks to hone it first. If you are strong enough, you can use characters of a slightly higher level to develop their experience. Don't think that Kirigakure's behavior is the so-called elite route, Konoha's policy is
It is truly the most stable, reasonable and excellent policy. This can be proved by his ability to become and remain the leader of the five great ninja villages. The emergence of talents in large numbers is also a good example.
After the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen signed his name on the last document, he raised his head and said to the ten jonin standing quietly in front of him: "Start from the first class."
The first class instructor, Shiranui Genma, responded, forming a ritual seal with one hand. Speaking of this world, the development of ninjas so far is not comparable to that of Shikamaru's lowly colleagues in his previous life. From this, various kinds of ninjas have gradually developed.
You can see the unique etiquette of ninjas. Forming the seal at this time naturally expresses respect for Hokage and responsibility for the following words: "In the name of the leader of the first genin team of Konoha Ninja Village,
Evaluate the first group of people - Inoue Shinji, e; Kato Ran, e; Kinoshita Hui, e; overall evaluation of the group: e."
Konoha stipulates that each genin instructor must make a comprehensive evaluation of the genin's performance in the test, including: development potential, personal strength, and ideological quality, divided into five levels: a, b, c, d, e, e
It means failing, d means passing, c means qualified, b means good, and a means excellent. Of course, they are positioned according to their current performance as genin. A or b level does not mean that they have reached jounin or chuunin status.
After hearing this, the Third Hokage just nodded. The performance of these three people in the ninja school was only mediocre, and naturally they would not attract his attention. Therefore, he did not say anything and signaled the next Jonin to continue.
…………
After several Jonin finished one after another, it was finally the turn of Team 7 led by Kakashi. Both Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha were valued by the Third Hokage. When Kakashi made a seal report,
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but cheer up: "In the name of the leader of the seventh genin team of Konoha Ninja Village, I would like to evaluate the members of the seventh group - Uchiha Sasuke, c; Uzumaki Naruto, d; Haruno Sakura, e,
Overall group rating: d.”
Although the score is not high, the first six groups were all killed. If it was a normal team, Sarutobi Hiruzen would be satisfied. However, the seventh team with Uchiha and Jinchuriki only barely passed the mark. Naturally, Sarutobi was disappointed.
Hiruzen frowned slightly, but out of respect and trust for Kakashi, he did not question it at all. With experience and growth, jonins all have their own values, and when leading newcomers, they also unconsciously
According to this requirement of them, Kakashi's experience, the Third Hokage naturally knows that even if Sasuke and Naruto show excellent strength, if the teamwork is not up to standard, the score will inevitably be lowered.
"Tell me about your test and their performance, Kakashi." Hiruzen Sarutobi ordered. Although he trusts Team 7, he will become a member of the big family of Konoha ninjas in the future. As the Hokage, he naturally respects them.
You should have a certain understanding, this is also common sense.
"Yes!" Kakashi told about its test and the performance of everyone in Team 7 in a calm tone. Sarutobi Hiruzen sometimes nodded and sometimes shook his head.
After listening to Kakashi's description, Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked his pipe and felt a little disappointed with Naruto's performance, but he still cheered up and signaled Yuhi Kurenai to continue.
As a new jounin, Kurenai Yuhi made a seal with one hand and looked solemn: "In the name of Konoha Ninja Village and the leader of the eighth genin team, I would like to evaluate the members of the eighth team - Aburame Shino, b; Inuzuka Kiba
,c; Hinata Hinata, d, overall evaluation of the group: b.”
The results of Class 8 are good. Although Shino and Kiba are not as good as Ino, Shika and Butterfly in school, they still have a certain tacit understanding. Hyuga Hinata simply doesn't have any independent opinions. Although Kiba is still a bit frivolous, they have good grades and have a certain strategy.
Shino has temporarily become the core, unlike the three in the seventh group who work completely on their own, leading to a lower evaluation. The overall parity of this group is an evaluation of their teamwork ability in the test. In comparison, the eighth group has a few
The teamwork is quite good. Being able to defeat the veteran Jounin Kakashi also makes Kurenai feel a little happy.
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, feeling a little relieved. After all, Konoha still had many talents, and motioned to the lower jounin to continue.
…………
After a while, it was Asuma Sarutobi's turn to evaluate the 10th team he led. Even if he was facing his father, the discipline of the ninja still made him look serious and solemn like other colleagues in the room.
The solemn one-hand seal said: "In the name of the leader of the tenth genin team of Konoha Ninja Village, I would like to evaluate the members of the tenth group - Yamanaka Ino, b; Akimichi Choji, b; Nara Shikamaru..., a
,The overall evaluation of the group: a!”
"What?" Yuhi Kurenai asked in surprise. The little sense of superiority just now disappeared. A-level evaluations are very, very rare. They are usually evaluated for the performance of geniuses like Kakashi who are promoted quickly. Moreover, other
Two genin are actually B-level? Even though she knew it was impossible, Kurenai still felt that Asuma was exaggerating.
The remaining jounin also looked a little surprised. Everyone knew each other's classes to some extent. Asuma also knew that the new generation of Ino Shikacho was leading. That's why they were a little surprised. The ninjas of the three clans
The skills are meant to complement each other and have a tacit understanding. The overall rating of the group is not enough to surprise others, but the individual rating is so high that it is really hard to believe.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen was thoughtful and ordered: "Asuma, tell me about your test and the performance of Class 10."
"Okay." Asuma responded somewhat dullly, and then began to describe his test and the performance of Class 10, focusing on Shikamaru's calm analysis and accurate judgment of people's hearts in the second test.
, as well as unknowingly misleading him, shadow clones, shadow imitation techniques, and resistance to illusions...
After the narration, although the jonin around him were not as shocked as Asuma to see it with his own eyes, they still looked somewhat surprised.
The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, nodded after hearing this, with a clear smile on his face, and ordered the jonins: "The three guiding jonins who have passed the test will stay, and the others can leave.
"
"Yes!" All the jounin replied in unison and walked out of the office one after another.
The Third Hokage walked out from behind the desk, holding a pipe in his mouth, and said to the three of them while walking: "Now is a rare period of peace in the ninja world. In comparison, the growth of genin is much safer. We cannot guarantee that there will not be another genin in the future.
There is a war, so before the war, you three must help these potential children grow up as quickly as possible. They are the future of Konoha. I hope you can understand this."
