Tsunade's words can be described as unexpected, even inexplicable.
However, this seemed to be in line with Uzumaki Naruto's original intention. At this time, he was no longer struggling, but looked eager to try.
Despite this, Uzumaki Naruto did not move rashly, but instead focused his gaze on Shikamaru, who had no expression on his face and only had a slight frown on his face.
A series of unexpected events made Uzumaki Naruto calm down somewhat. Although his mood to teach Tsunade a lesson has not weakened, he is not a brainless fool. On the contrary, he can always come up with some weird ideas.
Different from the original work, Uzumaki Naruto only learned about the term "Sannin" after searching for Tsunade and his party for a long time, and understood who the three members were.
But now, because this mission of Shikamaru and others was assigned by the consultant of Konoha Village, the purpose and requirements have been stated, and Uzumaki Naruto has already known this information - the fifth Hokage Senju Tsunade, and Orochimaru,
Jiraiya is the same, he was once a member of the "Sannin" of Konoha Village.
Not to mention the fight after encountering Orochimaru in the Forest of Death in the second round of the Chunin Exam. The one-sided battle left a deep impression on Uzumaki Naruto. For Jiraiya, the first time he met Uzumaki Naruto, he would be arrogant.
Whibis instantly killed him, and in his subsequent studies and teachings, although he was always arrogant and impatient, Uzumaki Naruto could not deny that Jiraiya seemed to be able to answer all his questions. As far as this kind of knowledge was concerned,
Although he didn't admit it verbally, in his heart, Uzumaki Naruto admired him very much.
The members of the "Sannin" he had encountered had all made Uzumaki Naruto aware of their amazing strength. He was certain that Tsunade, a female ninja who was actually in her fifties but could still maintain a youthful appearance, would not be able to do it alone.
Can't cope.
Of course, when Tsunade brought up Shikamaru and Akimichi Choji to "go out and talk", Uzumaki Naruto immediately focused on Shikamaru, whether it was the performance of the ninja school or the Chunin exam.
In terms of ability, among the three, only Shikamaru has sufficient organizational skills and the strongest strength. Even the stubborn and face-saving Uzumaki Naruto has to admit this.
Tsunade and Jiraiya also noticed Uzumaki Naruto's performance. The former looked at Uzumaki Naruto with slight interest. Before, he looked like he wanted to fight Tsunade on the spot. He thought he heard Tsunade say to use a
The contemptuous words he said to the three of them should have caused him to explode emotionally and lose his mind immediately, but looking at his appearance at this time, he calmed down instead.
Dubbed by Kakashi Hatake as the "number one ninja in terms of unexpectedness", Uzumaki Naruto's advantage lies in his active mind, which can be seen from his frequent successful pranks in the ninja school, but his shortcomings are also here, too.
Although active, it is difficult to concentrate on the little things around him, resulting in the bad habit of not using his brain. However, after all, he has the good genes of the Uzumaki clan and the fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato, plus the power of his own Jinchuuriki, Uzumaki
As long as Naruto works hard, he will always progress countless times faster than his peers.
Tsunade looked at Uzumaki Naruto, then set her eyes on Nara Shikamaru again. This time, there was less teasing in her eyes, but more scrutiny.
Akimichi Chouji's sudden outburst and Uzumaki Naruto's subconscious attitude just now clearly told Tsunade and Shizune, who met Shikamaru, Jiraiya and others for the first time, that except for Jiraiya, who has a high status,
Nara Shikamaru is the invisible leader of the two.
If Shikamaru is a chuunin, at this age, it is not easy to be promoted in peacetime without war. Tsunade thinks that he at least has a certain amount of talent, but looking at Shikamaru's clothes, he is not wearing standard leather armor.
, unlike a chuunin, if he was still a genin, this would surprise Tsunade even more.
Shikamaru is a chuunin, leading Akimichi Choji and Uzumaki Naruto. To a large extent, he still takes advantage of the Konoha Village system. The superiors have natural management authority over the subordinates, but the three of them have equal status. Shikamaru can
Asking Choji Akimichi to take the initiative to protect and calm Uzumaki Naruto immediately thought of its role. Only with considerable prestige can this be done.
A very powerful young man.
This is the evaluation in the hearts of Tsunade and Shizune after seeing Shikamaru's performance. Even at this time, facing Tsunade's provocation and invitation to fight, they did not have much emotional fluctuations. From a psychological point of view,
Remarkable.
Shikamaru's thoughts were constantly changing at this time.
He now feels more and more that Tsunade has met Orochimaru and learned about the deal proposed by him. Now that he thinks about it, Tsunade's first words when she saw Jiraiya - "Why are you here too?"
It was obviously not just for him and Jiraiya, it should have been because he subconsciously said it after seeing Orochimaru.
The emotion of "missing" is very magical. People are often nostalgic. After losing, they often subconsciously beautify it in their hearts. What's more, in this world, because of the existence of "nindo", chakra is also
Built based on will and spirit, ninjas are often very paranoid people.
Many of the ninja's persistence may be called crazy in the eyes of ordinary people, but in fact, it is just the improvement and protection of personal values. Not to mention that Naoki is Tsunade's biological brother, Kato Dan's reputation and character are
He also exercises his nindo with the persistence of protecting Konoha and becoming Hokage. To some extent, he is indeed a romantic with a very charming personality.
What's more, Shikamaru learned that Shizune was Kato Dan's niece, but she was always taken by Tsunade. Seeing people, missing people, and all kinds of emotions... made Tsunade flatly reject Orochimaru. Shikamaru knew that it was unrealistic even after thinking about it.
If there is a change, unlike the original work, Tsunade is really willing to treat Orochimaru in exchange for the resurrection of Kato Dan and Senju Nezuki, and Shikamaru is not unbelievable.
It is not easy to bring Tsunade back to Konoha Village and let him treat Asuma Sarutobi's injuries obediently.
But understanding is understanding, Shikamaru said he wanted to bring Tsunade back to Konoha Village, Sarutobi Asuma was his instructor, and to some extent, he really led him to intervene with other senior ninjas.
The leader, he also knew from Yuhi Kurenai why Asuma Sarutobi came alone to resist Kisame Inogaki and Itachi Uchiha. Shikamaru couldn't ignore this kind of kindness and let a jounin quit his career as a ninja.
It could also be called cruel. He didn't want this kind of misfortune to befall Asuma Sarutobi.
"In this case, let's just make a bet!" Shikamaru, one of the three genin who had never expressed his stance, made up his mind, stood up decisively, and said to Tsunade.
"What bet?" Sure enough, as soon as she heard the word "bet", Tsunade's attention quickly shifted and she asked Shikamaru with great interest.
"The three of us are genin," Shikamaru looked at Uzumaki Naruto and Akimichi Choji and said, "We are no match for you."
Except for Akimichi Choji, who is most familiar with and trusts Shikamaru, everyone present couldn't help but raised their eyebrows when they heard these words that seemed to show weakness. Uzumaki Naruto was about to have a seizure first, but looking at the performance of Akimichi Choji next to him, he couldn't bear it.
hair.
"But I am sure to hurt you." Shikamaru raised his eyebrows, showing a slightly provocative smile for the first time, and looked at Tsunade: "Do you believe it or not!"
"Only you three genin?" Tsunade twitched the corner of her mouth, gently pushed the hair that fell in front of her eyes behind her ears, and said, "I'll make this bet with you!"
"If we win, you will come back to Konoha with us..." Shikamaru was about to say the bet, but Tsunade interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
"I will not return to Konoha Village to succeed the Hokage!" Tsunade flatly refused.
"...Go back to Konoha to treat my mentoring Jonin, Sarutobi Asuma." Shikamaru looked at Tsunade, and continued without changing his words: "How?"
"...Okay!" Tsunade finally nodded after a slight hesitation.
Shikamaru said hesitantly: "You win..."
"I won, Jiraiya and you guys." Tsunade pointed at Jiraiya unceremoniously and said loudly: "Just go back to Konoha Village as soon as possible and don't bother me again!"
After Shikamaru heard Tsunade's proposal, although he was somewhat confident, he did not dare to agree without authorization. He had to look at Jiraiya. Not only was he the actual person in charge of this operation, but if he did not bring Tsunade back to Konoha in the future,
Village, I'm afraid the burden of being the fifth Hokage will fall on him.
"It's a deal!" To Shikamaru's surprise, Jiraiya agreed, which made him unbelievable and even doubted whether Jiraiya had planned to run away alone.
But since Jiraiya agreed, Shikamaru himself also had confidence in the ninjutsu he recently created, "Black Magic. Sengen".
In the past, Shikamaru actually felt a little awkward about the need to name various ninjutsu, but after he became a ninja, he learned that all of this was more about written records and inheritance, names that were more appropriate and easy to remember.
It is most appropriate, and ninjutsu of the same system are often included in the "certain escape" stream.
Most of Shikamaru's self-created ninjutsu are based on chakra changes of the "yin" attribute. Therefore, it is actually most appropriate to name "Yin Release" or even "Shadow Release" based on the characteristics of the Nara clan's traditional arts.
but.
But Shikamaru's own cautious character did not allow him to do this. Such a straightforward naming is not a good thing, especially the many ninjutsu that name a system after this. The ninjutsu in this world are all kinds of strange, with blood inheritance limits and various kinds of ninjutsu.
There are countless ninjutsu that can be formed through the use of chakra. Although they may be small, Shikamaru must prevent the enemy from developing a restraining power against his "jutsu" one day.
As for ninjutsu, Shikamaru was just an ordinary person in his previous life. In the past, this kind of magical power could only be described by "magic" and "magic". Using the former name, Shikamaru only felt a stomachache.
, since the word "skill" in "magic" is close to each other, it was named after the latter.
As for "Qiangen", it is just based on the characteristics of this "jutsu" itself. The speed and power of Yin attribute chakra is inferior to that of thunder attribute chakra and wind attribute chakra. Shikamaru's technique is different from Sasuke's Chidori style in the original work.
In fact, there is an essential difference, not in the power, but in its almost endless and diverse changes.
The saying that it is ever-changing is indeed true.
