As expected by Shikamaru, not long after the succession ceremony for the head of the Nara clan passed, Tsunade took the initiative to find him, looking much more anxious than Shikamaru who was involved.
This is not surprising either.
Uchiha Sasuke's defection greatly shocked Tsunade, which also illustrated the power of Orochimaru's curse seal and his own ability to bewitch.
She still remembered what Jiraiya said and the explanation he gave. Although Shikamaru did not have the blood of the Uchiha clan, his talent was not low, especially Shikamaru's character. Unlike Uchiha Sasuke, who had hidden vultures
The seeds of hatred always maintain a calm attitude, but occasionally show a kind of fanaticism inadvertently.
Shikamaru's character was too similar to Orochimaru's in some aspects, so Jiraiya persuaded Tsunade to be his teacher and give him guidance, fearing that Shikamaru would fall into Orochimaru's hands because of the curse seal.
Uchiha Sasuke's successful defection can also be explained by Tsunade's negligence. One person cannot be sure of all omissions. However, if the incident of Shikamaru being seduced by Orochimaru and defecting happens again, even if it is unsuccessful, Tsunade can ask herself to step down.
.
After all, when it comes to influence, Shikamaru is now many times greater than Uchiha Sasuke in Konoha Village - of course it cannot be compared in the ninja world. The long-standing reputation of the Uchiha clan is not something he can compete with.
"Do you think the evil seal is not powerful enough?"
There is no easier way to understand the situation by talking to the person involved. Even Tsunade cannot slap her head on the head and come up with a sealing technique to restrain the curse seal. She can only study the power of the curse seal first, and then ask Shikamaru how he feels.
, so as to find a solution.
Shikamaru was now in Tsunade's study, and the other party asked him in a deep voice how he felt when the curse seal "lost control".
"It's very strange." Shikamaru lowered his head and thought for a moment before replying: "It's like there is another personality lurking in my body. When the curse seal went out of control for the first time, I could still feel its existence to some extent, but when
I gradually resisted 'it', especially after using the 'Evil Sealing Seal' to seal 'it', I no longer felt this way. I seemed to have wisdom and knew that I was invincible, so I hid, but it was harder than before.
As long as I have the slightest flaw, it will confuse me and corrode me, causing the power of the curse seal to lose control."
"The power of the evil-sealing seal only makes the power of the curse seal go underground. It is no longer as unscrupulous as before, and it is of no use in eradicating it." Shikamaru spread his hands and said.
Tsunade nodded in agreement. Although Hatake Kakashi told Uchiha Sasuke that as long as he did not rely too much on his power, the curse seal would not go out of control. Tsunade also said similar words to Shikamaru, but think about it.
You know, this is actually just to comfort people.
Ninja is a life-threatening profession. Unless you switch to a civilian job, how can you be able to face every battle with ease, without having to fight hard and use all your strength?
Looking forward and backward on the battlefield is not like seeking death!
Speaking of the secret technique that took Orochimaru many years of hard work to develop, if Tsunade could find the solution so easily, she would really live up to the reputation of the third Hokage Sarutobi Rizan as a "genius that only appears once in decades".
Tsunade will definitely turn to those scrolls that have been preserved by past Hokage and record precious knowledge!
Shikamaru was convinced of this, just looking at the unabashed attitude on Tsunade's face was enough to confirm it.
Tsunade frowned slightly, her eyes were a little out of focus, obviously thinking, while Shikamaru took the opportunity to look at the study environment, looking curious but trying to sit upright, which was in line with the image he had always shown——
Mature, calm, like an adult with his own responsibilities, but occasionally showing the temperament of a young man.
Although Shikamaru did not believe that those scrolls recording precious knowledge would be placed in the study room so openly, the study room of the supreme leader of Konoha Village was still full of mystery to many people in Konoha Village. If Shikamaru made
A completely indifferent attitude can easily make people suspicious.
The real forbidden scroll should be stored in a secret room.
Office, study, and living room, among which the office is probably the smallest, because there are many people coming and going when the Hokage is working on a daily basis, but the study and living room are more private, and there is no reason for outsiders to enter.
But in the next period of time, as he and Tsunade work together to figure out how to solve the cursed seal problem, Shikamaru will always have a chance to find out the true location of the secret room.
…………
The next few days have been a relatively relaxing time for Shikamaru since he became a ninja. He does not have to go on missions, nor does he have to work in the ANBU or the Torture and Interrogation Department for the time being. He just conducts experiments repeatedly on his own after being taught by Tsunade every day. If
When Tsunade has time, she will personally guide the process. The two of them seem to have been immersed in this intense brainstorming, constantly coming up with ideas one after another, only to be overturned one by one.
"I'm afraid it won't work to seal this energy with chakra." Shikamaru considered.
After several days of research, Tsunade finally tried to teach Shikamaru the "yin sealing technique", but unfortunately Shikamaru was not interested in it.
To put it bluntly, this ninjutsu was developed by Tsunade alone for her own "Creation Regeneration" and "Hakuho no Jutsu" and other forbidden techniques. The main purpose was to seal a large amount of chakra, and Shikamaru was of little use.
As for powerful forbidden techniques such as "Creation and Regeneration", it is impossible for Shikamaru to learn it. It is not easy to stimulate cell division. It cannot be done with the ability to control chakra alone. It is inherited from Senju Hashirama's excellent physique.
, is Tsunade's capital to squander, Shikamaru doesn't have these, so he has to start with the spiritual path first.
Of course, this "skill" still inspired Shikamaru to some extent, but it was still impossible to completely suppress the curse seal.
"If it were my own chakra, I would naturally not resist it, and I could even help guide it, but the power of the curse seal itself is like a parasite, affecting my chakra by corroding it, and it has a duplicitous consciousness.
, just relying on chakra to seal it has no effect at all." Shikamaru sighed.
To completely solve the curse seal problem, I'm afraid we must learn from the sealing techniques left by the Fourth Hokage and the Uzumaki clan. However, if Tsunade is allowed to study it on her own and seal the curse seal for Shikamaru, he doesn't need to waste so much.
Now that he has the energy, he naturally has to control it himself.
The curse seal is still useful to Shikamaru, and Tsunade doesn't need to help him seal it.
After a few days of transition, Tsunade gradually deepened her trust in Shikamaru. In addition, in the past few days, Tsunade had been looking for solutions from the knowledge left by previous Hokages. She no longer deliberately concealed Shikamaru. He was
Found the secret room.
But now is not the time to take action.
…………
"One, two, three..., three ANBU?" Shikamaru hid in the shadow of a water tank on the roof of a house, silently observing the ANBU members who were guarding the perimeter of the Hokage's office. Their unique attire made it easy to spot:
"It should be a detachment of manpower, and maybe a hidden sentry?"
Shikamaru doesn't want to betray the Leaf Village yet, so his actions will inevitably not be discovered by others, which means that he cannot break in forcefully, otherwise he will attract attention if he fights. If he escapes like this, he will inevitably wake up Tsunade and start a direct fight.
, without exposing his signature ninjutsu, Shikamaru's strength can't be used much. Exposing ninjutsu such as "Rasengan", "Ranshi" and "Black Magic", unless no one is left alive - this is obviously
Impossible - Shikamaru's identity is exposed, and the only way is to rebel against the village.
Even if he escapes from the beginning, or kills a team of ANBU without attracting attention, it will be difficult to leave no trace afterwards.
Just solving the problem of tracking the ninja dog is a very troublesome matter, not to mention the corpse, otherwise Ni Duan can still be seen from above...
After thinking about it, Shikamaru had no choice but to lurk, without even leaving any clues to let Tsunade or others notice that someone had secretly read the precious knowledge left by past Hokages.
After the Hokage left the office, he kept a certain distance away. The ANBU members who gave the Hokage space would naturally return to patrol around the office. In other words, even if Shikamaru successfully mobilized Tsunade, he still had to prevent them from being discovered.
After all, even if you already know that the secret room is in Tsunade's study, the room is not completely enclosed. If Shikamaru wants to do something big inside, the ANBU can see clearly from the window.
"Must we act when the whistle changes?" Shikamaru touched his chin and thought carefully. He must judge how much time he has to act by observing the whistle change, and even decide how big a move to make.
In contrast, Tsunade's whereabouts are much easier to track. She likes drinking and shopping. When she has no work to do, she rarely sits around in the office. What's more, she just took over as Hokage not long ago and needs to establish her prestige in various departments.
, so he often had to inspect several departments, and Shikamaru was confident that he could transfer Tsunade without arousing suspicion.
…………
Not mentioning Shikamaru's plans, another ambitious figure in Konoha Village was slowly explaining something to the two of them.
The slightly gloomy atmosphere in the house was very suitable for this person. The gauze covering his right eye and the vulture's gaze were unforgettable.
There are always a few smart people in this world who can see the future clearly and have great wisdom, especially when their own interests are involved. Their eyes blinded by selfishness make them blind, and they will always choose to be hostile to anyone who dares to harm their own interests.
people.
Interestingly, this kind of people often like to find a high-sounding excuse for their own selfish actions.
"Tsunade's behavior is getting more and more reckless!" Danzo Shimura made his opening remarks, and in front of him, there were two old men and a woman sitting opposite each other.
In Konoha Village, there are only a handful of people who are qualified to sit with Shimura Danzo, one of the elders. At this time, the two people in front of Danzo are his colleagues who serve as elders to assist the Hokage in governing—
