Shikamaru's sealing process was smooth sailing, with no more twists and turns.
With Jiraiya's strength, there would be no accidents when he used the evil-sealing seal, and Shikamaru himself would not resist.
The power of the curse seal looks tempting, but Shikamaru has no reliance on it. He doesn't even like to use the Eight Gate Dungeon, because after all, it is not his own power. There are too many uncertain factors, just like there is only one bullet.
Pistols and daggers, although the former is more lethal, has a narrow use.
What's more, compared to the Eight Gate Dungeon, the power of the curse seal will also erode one's own will and body. Shikamaru is more interested in the use of the energy of the curse seal itself - the power of magic and spiritual power. Orochimaru will use these
Shikamaru was also very impressed by the superb use of the two energies.
…………
Compared to Jiraiya and Shikamaru who were using the evil sealing seal in an orderly manner, Tsunade who was treating Akimichi Choji was much busier.
Due to lack of tools, manpower, and even the most important medicinal materials, Tsunade was unable to treat Choji at all.
All she can do is to use her extraordinary chakra control skills to transfer the most primitive, pure, and vigorous body energy into Akimichi Choji's body to keep his vitality from being wiped out.
This method is purely life-threatening. A skilled medical ninja can even restore the body functions of a recently deceased corpse in a short period of time. This technique is mostly used in corpse disposal teams. At the time, Shikamaru and several genin worked together to kill Kagawa Sai.
Wan's corpse was dissected by Ninja Oya Yusuke of the corpse disposal team. He and Chiba Gen also used this technology to identify the chakra attributes of the deceased and guess the ninja level.
This department is under the jurisdiction of the ANBU, and its members are all extremely skilled ninjas, both in terms of medical technology and personal combat prowess.
To make a long story short, this method of using body energy is not easy. Even Tsunade, known as the "Medical Sage", and Kato Shizune cooperated, it could not be delayed for a few days. Fortunately, Uzumaki Naruto had reported to Konoha overnight, and the two of them were very happy.
Help is coming soon.
As long as he returns to Konoha Village and has excellent medical ninjas as assistants, as well as sophisticated and high-end instruments, as well as precious medicinal materials, it is possible to save Akimichi Choji.
Of course, it's just a possibility.
After several years of travelling, Tsunade, who only wandered around gambling houses, had long had actual combat experience with ninjas, not to mention using advanced medical technology.
Counting the famous ninjas in the ninja world, they are all the ones who stand out from their peers in fighting and fighting. This is because ninjas are the most violent profession born from war.
Working behind closed doors and practicing hard in the mountains for many years will not make much progress.
Because fighting and killing are the most honing a person's mind, and mature experience will also make a person's skills reach the peak. As he experiences more enemies, he comes into contact with more abilities and blood inheritance limits, and even all kinds of strange things.
Ninjutsu, my personal understanding of chakra and "jutsu" is deeper.
For example, if a war-experienced person and an ordinary person are equally unarmed, facing a villain approaching with a knife, the latter may be hesitant, frightened, or even willing to compromise, while the former must be thinking about how to
To counterattack, when the time comes, he will take action without hesitation. On the contrary, ordinary people may hesitate and lose the opportunity to counterattack.
A strong heart tempered by blood and fire is what Tsunade has lost in so many years of stable life. Escape and gambling have worn away her will. Even if she has developed two forbidden arts in the past few years, she still cannot
To make up for this.
In comparison, Jiraiya was a bit better. He also traveled, but he was not troubled by hemophobia and never ran away from battles, while Tsunade abandoned her mentality as a ninja from the bottom of her heart.
This is why in the original work, Tsunade was easily suppressed by Yakushi Kabuto. The title of a so-called "Sannin" and the level of "Jounin" are not equivalent to an invulnerable holy cloth. It is just a false name.
All of this is based on his own strength. Even if Shikamaru is given the title of "God of Ninja" today, Jiraiya can easily kill him.
The kunai in the hands of a genin is also enough to inflict fatal wounds on an unprepared jounin.
The level of strength includes comprehensive factors such as personal strength, experience, and mentality. The so-called "all strategies are useless in the face of absolute power" is somewhat puzzling.
Whether it was the earth in Nara Shikamaru's previous life or the history of the ninja world in this world, there has never been a powerful country that directly threw all its troops into the battlefield when its army was approaching, without making any plans or arrangements during the period.
Skill and wisdom are factors that increase strength. How much a person's true power can be exerted depends on his method of use, which is wisdom - a sharpshooter does not like to fight hand-to-hand, and Akai will also use similar methods in battle.
Shortening the distance between you and the enemy is wisdom in battle.
The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, probably because the rabbit will not be stupid enough to jump into the lion's mouth.
Tsunade may still be able to barely maintain the power she had at her peak, but in terms of mentality and experience, she is no longer as good as Kabuto Yakushi, who was in the rapid rise stage at that time. She was hesitant from the beginning whether to compete with Orochimaru.
She only came to her senses at the last minute of the transaction, but was easily angered and consumed a lot of energy. Even if she was a legendary "Sannin", she would still be at a disadvantage.
If it was Tsunade in the early years, faced with this situation, she would probably kill Yakushi Kabuto when Orochimaru proposed the deal, capture Orochimaru, and ask how to resurrect the rope tree and break, or kill him directly.
It's just a difference in character.
Of course, Tsunade didn't know that she was almost defeated by a young man in a head-on battle in the original work, but at this moment, looking at Akimichi Choji who fell into a coma - with such obvious pain on his young and immature face -
—Tsunade also felt a strong sense of regret in her heart.
Several years of blank experience have even made her medical skills a lot more rusty, otherwise she would have had more chances of curing Akimichi Choji.
However, these thoughts were fleeting in Tsunade's mind, and they were quickly suppressed by her. Having faced her own fears and overcome them, she has gradually regained the feeling of the resolute and decisive Princess Tsunade.
.
Regret and regret are meaningless.
What she is thinking more about now is what she has promised to Jiraiya, the new disciple she has accepted, and what she will do after agreeing to Konoha's high-level officials to serve as Hokage!
…………
In fact, Jiraiya suggested that Tsunade become Shikamaru's teacher because of Tsunade's own consideration.
It is always impossible for an institution or an organization to avoid strife and strife, even in Konoha Village.
Although Tsunade still has a high prestige in Konoha Village and can retain most of her connections, she has been away from the village for many years and is unfamiliar with many things in the village.
How could Princess Tsunade, who has always been strong and stubborn, be willing to be a mere "spiritual leader" and a puppet who has no understanding of what she rules?
Since you want to be the Hokage, you cannot say that you have to master every detail, but the rights that the Hokage should have - the jurisdiction over various departments, personnel appointments, financial utilization, diplomatic response, etc., must be clearly understood and mastered.
.
In this way, Kato Shizune, who has always been by Tsunade's side and is most familiar and close to her, must be assigned to an important position and become her Hokage assistant.
This position does not seem to have real power and has a low status, but it actually serves as a link between the past and the next. It can help him master the information on Konoha Village's government affairs and finances as soon as possible, so that Tsunade will not be confused about the situation in Konoha Village as Hokage.
His eyes went dark.
Fortunately, Kato Shizune, who is like a housekeeper, is careful and patient enough, and should be able to adapt to this well.
Next, facing the major departments of Konoha Village, Tsunade will immediately focus on the medical department, because her early prestige and achievements, and even the title of "Medical Sage", are enough to make her a success in a short time.
He infiltrated his own will and took complete control of this department.
The importance of medical power to a war organization is self-evident. With this as a fulcrum, Tsunade can influence other combat departments.
This department is destined to be firmly in her hands at the first time, and taking Shikamaru as her own will not only shorten the time of this action, but also increase the strength of her control.
Because behind Shikamaru is the Nara clan, because Shikamaru himself is known as the number one genius of the Nara clan!
This is tantamount to winning over the Nara clan who are responsible for providing medicinal materials to the shinobi village. Tsunade still remembers Nara Heisuke, and she was deeply impressed by his wisdom. He has a very high talent for logistics management in war. She believes in this
The wise old man will pass on the position of head of the Nara clan to others when he returns to the village, and among them, Nara Shikamaru's father, Nara Shikaku, is the first candidate.
In the original work, this is the reason why Nara Shikaku, who was originally extremely qualified but always kept a low profile, suddenly became extremely active after Tsunade returned to the village.
As long as politics is involved, expressing one's stance and taking sides are always inevitable.
Nara Shikaku used a more positive work attitude to express his support for Tsunade, and at the same time, he represented his own clan.
This may be the helplessness of the chunin village leader in this world.
No matter how tough and domineering the leader is, he still has to compromise with these "ninjas", the difference is just how much he compromises.
The existence of blood inheritance limits and even secret techniques is the basis for maintaining the status and interests of these "ninja clan". Unlike Shikamaru's previous life, there were strong men who could sweep away this smoky thing. In this world, even if the "ninja clan" exists
No matter how unfair it is to ordinary ninjas, no one can improve it. The reason why the Second Hokage's reform of the education system is still praised by people today is because it took away a generation from the ninja inheritance monopolized by these ethnic groups.
Mostly, it gives ordinary people who are expected to become ninjas a path to advancement.
The Nara clan in Konoha Village is far inferior to the Hyuga clan, a ninja clan with a limit that is difficult for a ninja village to replace the blood successor. It is enough to make the Hokage of the first village compromise. From this, we can know the status of the "ninja clan" in this world.
Strength.
