"Where did you learn this ninjutsu, Shikamaru?" The Rasengan appeared in Shikamaru's hand, which probably means that Jiraiya returned to Konoha Village without the knowledge of Konoha's senior officials, and had an affair with Konoha
The ninja had contact, so the Third Hokage seriously questioned Shikamaru.
However, even when facing the Third Hokage, who is known as the Ninja Hero, Shikamaru still denied it with a red face and a heartbeat: "This ninjutsu was not learned by me or others, but was created by me."
"Is that so..., Kakashi!" The Third Hokage bit his pipe, thought for a while, called Kakashi's name, and said to Shikamaru with a questioning look on his face: "Shikamaru, can you
Demonstrate this ninjutsu again?"
Kakashi on the side understood Sarutobi Hiruzen's intention, opened the forehead protector blocking his right eye, and exposed the precious Sharingan.
Shikamaru understood in his heart the intention confirmed by Sarutobi Hiruzen, but on the surface, he continued to act - he looked at Kakashi's behavior and seemed a little hesitant to the Third Hokage's order - this self-created ninjutsu,
It is one of the trump cards in the future, and it can be passed down as a family ninjutsu in the future. Even the Hokage is not qualified if he wants to force Konoha ninjas to contribute ninjutsu secrets.
Therefore, when Sarutobi Hiruzen saw Shikamaru's expression, he explained: "The ninjutsu you just used may be the A-level ninjutsu invented by the Fourth Hokage - Rasengan. Kakashi can also know this ninjutsu."
Use it, now I just want to confirm it again."
"The ninjutsu invented by the Fourth Hokage!?" Shikamaru deliberately showed surprise on his face and turned to look at Kakashi. At the same time, the other party opened his right palm in time, a light blue one, which contained countless spins.
The ball of light filled with chakra took shape, winning Shikamaru's trust.
Seeing this, Shikamaru looked surprised. He also opened his right hand, and a light ball containing multiple chakras appeared, which was exactly the same as the Rasengan in Kakashi's hand.
Seeing this, Hatake Kakashi silently dissipated the chakra in his right palm, and said in a low voice: "It's really the Rasengan."
It really is the same! Hearing this, the Third Hokage thought in his heart, but still had a cheerful smile on his face and said: "It's amazing, Shikamaru! He actually developed this A-level ninjutsu by himself!" Hiruzen Sarutobi looked like this.
, seems to have believed Shikamaru's words. In fact, there will be ANBU investigations around Shikamaru for some time in the future, but there is no need to ask in detail at this time. Even if Shikamaru's Rasengan was taught by Jiraiya, at this time
Shikamaru's unwillingness to disclose Jiraiya's whereabouts must also represent Jiraiya's own wishes. There is no point in forcing him.
When Shikamaru heard this, he deliberately used the look of a young man trying to be humble after being praised, but still a little proud - this was a bit of a test of Shikamaru's acting skills - to thank Sarutobi Hiruzen for his praise.
Hatake Kakashi has not spoken since Shikamaru successfully cast the Rasengan again. He silently blocked the Sharingan in his right eye under his forehead protector again and looked at the four members of Team 10 and Dazuna.
After leaving, he suddenly stretched out his right hand and rubbed Naruto who kept muttering something in a low voice. His expression showed a little sadness for a moment: "You will become stronger, Naruto!"
…………
Since they had taken over escort missions before, Shikamaru's three genin already had some experience. After the preparations were completed, they quickly packed their bags and came to the gate to meet Asuma and Tatsuna.
What happened at the mission release center before was too shocking even for Ino and Choji, who were familiar with Shikamaru. Although they had never met the Fourth Hokage, they had naturally heard about his deeds from their parents.
Shikamaru was able to research the A-level ninjutsu once invented by the Fourth Hokage on his own. This fact made the two of them feel a little unbelievable. At this time, they didn't know what to say to Shikamaru.
Choji and Ino didn't know how to speak. Shikamaru was not Naruto. He didn't like to make fuss and had a quiet personality. Asuma was thoughtful. Tazuna looked more like an alcoholic than an engineer.
, so along the way, the atmosphere seemed a bit strange and silent.
The five people walked quietly on the road in the forest. Shikamaru, Choji and Ino formed a triangle to surround Tazuna. Asuma was two steps behind. The leader was Choji, the most powerful among the Ino Shikacho.
, Shikamaru is on the right side of Dazuna.
They walked like this for a while and seemed to be in peace. However, Ino and Choji, who looked at Shikamaru from time to time, were keenly aware that although Shikamaru was calm on his face at this time, when he moved around, he was faintly thinking about Tatsuna.
The protective circle has shrunk.
Although Shikamaru knew that Konoha Ninja Village was recognized as the strongest ninja village in the ninja world, he never thought that the quality of ninjas in other villages was so far behind that of Konoha. Of course, this could also be Uchi.
The policy implemented during the time when Haubara disguised himself as the Mizukage was in power - in ninja education, the so-called "actual combat" was deliberately emphasized, but not the transfer of knowledge.
This path is not a concrete road like the earth where Shikamaru lived in his previous life. It is just a dirt road that has been opened up by walking many times. It has not rained in the past few days. The middle of this broken dirt road is directly illuminated by the scorching sun.
The small puddle that appeared at this time was so conspicuous that even an ordinary person, Dazna, looked at it with confusion.
Shikamaru didn't even need to communicate, and he was sure that Asuma, as a jounin, must have noticed something strange. This kind of childish ambush could be discovered by ordinary people with a little savvy, let alone a jounin.
Sure enough, after Asuma walked by, two Kirigakure rebel ninjas showed up and entangled Asuma with a tacit understanding. They were very arrogant, but in Shikamaru's eyes, they whispered without self-awareness: "The first one
The prey is obtained!”
Although he was a little surprised that Asuma would choose the same behavior as Kakashi in the original work, Shikamaru still used the shadow imitation technique without hesitation. When Asma was entangled, Shikamaru had already formed the seal, and the two
The Kirigakure rebel ninja rushed directly towards Shikamaru who was closest to them, and the shadow imitation technique was successfully used without any accident.
Shikamaru naturally ignored the frightened expressions of the two people. After the shadow imitation technique was successfully performed, he moved his hands separately, grabbing his throat with his left hand, and pressing his right hand into a claw on his heart. The two brothers who were controlled were in fear.
In his eyes, he watched helplessly as his poisonous claws clawed at his throat or heart respectively, and he died swiftly.
Dazuna, who had just reacted, was stunned when he saw this scene. This is the secret of ninjutsu. Fighting for hundreds of rounds. At that time, martial arts, no matter what kind of individual who took killing as a profession, only a quick, concise and effective way of killing could kill people.
It is pursued by ninjas. Even S-level ninjutsu can only be abandoned if it cannot achieve the purpose of killing with one hit. If the low-level Kirigakure jutsu can achieve the effect of killing, it will be used by more people.
It is said that killing is the true secret of Ninjutsu!
…………
Asuma looked at the corpses of the two Kirigakure ninjas in silence. Since the two died so neatly, Asuma had no chance to see who their target was. Whether they were targeting the Konoha ninja or Tatsuna.
Come. "Mr. Dazna, I would like to ask you to tell me whether there is anyone specifically targeting you in this mission entrustment." Asma asked calmly: "If there is, who is the person and whether there is one."
Able to hire ninjas?" It would be fine if Asuma was the only one to participate in the mission. Even if it was an A-level or even S-level mission, as a jounin, you don't need to worry too much, but when there are three genin under his command, it is very difficult.
Deaths and injuries are prone to occur. If these genin die due to accidents before they have fully grown up, it is definitely Asuma's dereliction of duty.
Shikamaru, Choji and Ino also looked at the pale Tatsuna in silence. Shikamaru killed the ghost brothers as quickly as possible before, just because he was afraid that the two of them would reveal their purpose. In this situation, as long as Tazuna
Na denied it, saying that if he didn't know there were ninjas, Asuma would not interrupt the mission for the sake of Konoha's credibility.
However, Shikamaru obviously overestimated Tatsuna's psychological quality. After all, in this world, deceiving a ninja requires more than just verbal condemnation. Deliberately concealing information leads to the death of a ninja. The ninja village will pursue them mercilessly.
, Ordinary people without power always have a natural fear of powerful ninjas.
The pale-faced Dazna's expression changed, and finally he muttered bitterly: "In fact, there is indeed a person who wants to kill me, and his name is Cardo."
Hearing the name Cardo, Asma frowned, pointed to the ghost brother's body, and asked: "So, these ninjas were also hired by Cardo?"
"Maybe it was sent by Cardo? But...," Dazna hurriedly waved his hand to deny: "I didn't know in advance that Cardo would send ninjas!"
"That's it..." Asma lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and exhaled a cloud of smoke, covering his face, and said: "Mr. Dazna, it's not that we want to terminate the mission, but in this mission
With the appearance of ninjas in the mission, it is no longer a C-level mission that genin can participate in, so we should return to Konoha and reset the level of this mission."
"..." The three of Shikamaru seemed a little silent. Shikamaru would not take the initiative to break the rules to continue to protect Tazuna. There is no accident. If something unexpected happens to Choji or Ino during this mission, as a suggestion
As the leader, he naturally has to bear the responsibility. Konoha White Fang can be slandered by people and lose his reputation, let alone him.
Seeing what Asma said, Dazuna gritted his teeth and actually knelt down towards the four of them. Asma was stunned and quickly stepped forward to help him up. Dazuna couldn't break free and pleaded with a pale face: "We are the wave of waves."
The country has been completely controlled by that bastard Cardo! Even the daimyo has no money, and I have no money at all to entrust B-level tasks!"
Asuma looked helpless at the grey-haired old man's low-pitched plea, and looked at Shikamaru, asking him to help give him an idea.
Seeing that Asuma still had no expression, Dazuna could only continue: "Only that bridge, that half-completed bridge, is the hope of everyone in the Kingdom of Waves. If I die, the only hope of the Kingdom of Waves will be shattered."
Got it!"
"Asuma-sensei." Shikamaru said at this time: "Grandpa Tatsuna didn't know that there were ninjas before. Although it is reasonable to re-level the mission, doing so after you have already accepted the mission will have negative consequences.
It's not always good. And..." Shikamaru pointed to the forehead protector on the corpse: "The two of them should be rebel ninjas. Judging from their strength, they won't be a big organization. In this case, it won't be too much.
It’s dangerous.”
What level of rebel ninja is the most difficult to mess around with these days? It's the kind of rebel ninja that is around jounin, has some strength but is not something that the ninja village cannot handle. Low-level ninjas have very few secrets, and the number of assassination troops is also limited.
The priority to deal with is the rebel ninja who has more secrets of the village; if the strength is too high, it doesn’t matter whether the assassination team can find them or not, and whether they can catch them if they are found is also a matter of fact. The most pitiable ones are the ones who have many secrets of the village and their strength.
A rebellious nin who is not beyond his capabilities.
These two dead rebellious ninjas, whether in terms of forehead protection or strength, are not the subordinates of rebellious ninjas that even the ninja village is wary of. After all, ninjas of that level can only keep hiding.
In order to avoid the endless pursuit of the Ninja Village, or else they can only find a small country to quietly establish a Ninja Village, accumulate power, and get a chance to breathe.
Kill Tazuna? The prey in the eyes of a rebellious ninja like Kakuzu and Hidan is the level of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas. Cardo and Tatsuna are not qualified enough. Finding Zabuza and his group is still a challenge.
He has so many magical powers - unless he takes the initiative, it is difficult for ordinary people to find such a super-S-level rebellious nin.
"...Okay! We will continue to escort you to the Kingdom of Waves." Asuma hesitated slightly after hearing Shikamaru's words, but finally agreed. Maybe Asuma's strength is not as good as that of the veteran Jonin Kakashi.
, but the strength should not be underestimated. What I was worried about was the safety of the three genin, Shikamaru, Choji and Ino. Now that Shikamaru revealed the possible strength of the enemy, Asuma felt a little more relieved. The most important thing is,
I also have confidence in the cooperation of the three people and Shikamaru's strength.dd
