Shikamaru took a sip of the still hot tea, his expression calm. Even after Nara Shikaku made the family's request, there was still no wave, just a slight frown.
Just kidding, how could he agree to the request of the elders of the Nara clan?
Souls from another world are inherently resistant and averse to this kind of family structure. What's more, the course is not purely out of interest. It is to increase Shikamaru's influence. More importantly, he has this intention towards the Nara clan.
Be wary of manipulating his behavior.
Stupid people regard meaningless avoidance and forbearance as a sign of open-mindedness and fortitude, but they don't know that such behavior is often just a last resort. Just like for Shikamaru today, if there is a chance to quietly
Even if Shimura Danzo is killed, he will not give up. He is holding back now, which is just a helpless move.
The Nara clan's request for Shikamaru to suspend the course can be regarded as a test or intervention against him. Faced with this attitude, giving in will not only fail to solve the problem, but will intensify the Nara clan's elders and continue to demand Shikamaru based on the righteousness of the clan.
, to limit and control him.
Shikamaru has got what he wants in Konoha Village. He will leave the village soon after becoming a Jonin. The help and threats from the Nara clan are not important to him, even if he returns to Konoha Village in the future.
, it won’t be alone, and as for competing for that seat, it’s not something the Nara clan can help with.
"If there are children of the right age in the clan, they can also be sent to attend classes." Shikamaru said nonchalantly, "I will help take care of them."
Although he didn't explicitly refuse, Shikamaru's words already showed his attitude - it is impossible to terminate the course. If you want to learn, just send someone yourself.
"What do you want to do, Shikamaru?" Nara Shikaku remained silent when he heard the words, just stared at Shikamaru and asked.
Although he is the head of the Nara clan, he is the one to persuade Shikamaru. It is obvious that the clan still values Shikamaru's potential and is unwilling to ask him with a cold and unkind attitude. However, even the father in this life cannot
There was no way to stop the path Shikamaru had chosen.
"I'm looking for my 'Tao'." Shikamaru raised his slender eyebrows: "It has become clearer and clearer. Without it, I can't go further."
Shikamaru didn't lie, his future path has been paved, and after the course begins, as he explains in an organized manner, his theory will be sorted out and gradually become clearer. When other students with ninja qualifications listen to the class,
He will face more and more profound problems and doubts, which require him to keep thinking and improve his system bit by bit. If the truth is not clear, working behind closed doors is never a good choice. Find the deficiencies through others.
Only by improving things can we make progress, and even give Shikamaru inspiration.
After all, the path he is taking now can be said to have been groped alone, without much experience from his predecessors to help him. Besides, Shikamaru's goal in the future is to become Hokage, or even go further. Even if there is the risk of a breakup, he does not want to let the family fall apart.
Some people hold unrealistic fantasies and intend to use "family justice" to control him.
"It seems that you have never thought about taking over the position of the head of the family!" Nara Shikaku glanced at Shikamaru and said thoughtfully: "What do you want to do? Hokage?"
A wise son is like a father - even though Shikamaru is not his son in a spiritual sense, after living together for a long time, not many people understand Shikamaru's thoughts better than him.
Nara Shikaku knew that the seemingly humble and gentle Shikamaru was much prouder and more ambitious than his peers. A truly gentle and humble person could not become an excellent ninja unless he had a more ambitious vision.
Target.
Based on Shikamaru's voice within the clan, even if he is Nara Shikaku's eldest son, he is very likely to take over the position of head of the family in the future. Even if he is still a chuunin now, this is just a matter of time. If during the war,
Based on his performance, he had already been promoted to jounin, and Nara Shikaku didn't think that Shikamaru was worse than Hatake Kakashi.
However, Shikamaru's current attitude is obviously that he does not want to inherit the family head. The word "family head" has already clarified the obligations of this position. As the head of the family, he naturally has to do his best to plan for the development and growth of the family. Shikamaru refuses to give in at this time.
If you give in to the interests of the Nara clan, you will never gain the support of the clan in the future.
Shikamaru smiled silently, which was regarded as acquiescence. Nara Shikaku was not angry at his performance. After all, although he was the head of the Nara clan, he was also the father of Nara Shikamaru.
"Do whatever you want, but neither your mother nor I can give you any help or support - that would be harming you." Nara Shikaku said softly.
Nara Shikaku is the head of the family and must ensure the interests of the clan. His ability to fulfill this position represents the clan's trust in him. If he uses power for personal gain to help Shikamaru who goes against the interests of the clan, it will be tantamount to betrayal and is much more serious than Shikamaru's behavior.
In contrast, Shikamaru never refused to allow his tribe's children to study with him. Although he might have been somewhat criticized and slandered, it would not cause too much of a stir.
"I understand." Shikamaru lowered his head and said respectfully. He could disagree with the family's attitude, because from the beginning to the end, he and the family have a relationship of interest, and bloodline is really nothing in the eyes of a time traveler.
But Nara Shikaku and Nara Yoshino are different. They have been living together for many years, and Shikamaru cannot ignore their constant care and attention. What's more, the two of them have dedicated a lot to Shikamaru, but they have never made any demands. He cannot ignore them.
feelings and situations.
Even so, it was impossible for Shikamaru to give in. Just as Nara Shikaku believed, Shikamaru's humble attitude was only superficial. He had always been brave and progressive in his pursuit of Ninja.
…………
Things between Shikamaru and the clan have come to an end, but because of this incident, the relationship between him and the family has become somewhat cold. Nara Shikaku cannot say good things for him, and even has to act tougher than other clan members.
There are also clan members who were jealous of Shikamaru's reputation in the past. They used this incident to slander Shikamaru and even demanded that Shikamaru be removed from the family. Shikamaru couldn't make everyone like him. In the past, his reputation was too great and he was suppressed.
Even if such a narrow-minded villain is breathless, it is inevitable to add insult to injury at this time.
Of course, not to mention Nara Shikaku's feelings, the other elders will not be as stupid as the proposer. The cold treatment is already the ultimate. Unless he is prepared to kill Shikamaru, otherwise with his potential, there is no telling how far he will go.
He is Tsunade's student, and if he goes too far, he will push Shikamaru in the opposite direction.
Nowadays, the attitude of the Nara clan is more like a warning. Even Shikamaru did not hide what he said about letting the clan's children attend the class, but the clan's attitude towards this was not considered by them.
"Without the Nara clan, what is he now? Still teaching students?" Nara Shikaku said disdainfully to his wife: "It seems that the series of honors during this period have gone to his head. Does he really think that
Are you an omnipotent genius?"
To be fair, Nara Shikaku is not jealous or disgusted with Nara Shikamaru. He originally admired Shikamaru, but when Nara Shikamaru showed his attitude, it made him feel angry and disappointed.
After becoming a chuunin, he was assigned to the torture and interrogation department instead of the combat unit. This has shocked people who were once optimistic about Shikamaru. Some people even gloated about Shikamaru's misfortune. This can be used to some extent. He has just been promoted to chunin and needs to accumulate
He refuted the argument from experience, but now he is just a chuunin, just like teaching classes for others, no wonder he is laughed at and despised by others.
…………
Not only the Nara clan looked on coldly at Shikamaru's behavior, this news could not be hidden from ordinary villagers or even other ninja clan.
People who don't understand Shikamaru's thoughts feel that he is overestimating his abilities. Does he think that his teaching level is much better than that of more mature ninja schools? As for experience and understanding, how much can Shikamaru say about becoming a chuunin?
It was learned that Shikamaru was treated coldly by the Nara clan, and the number of students who had come to his home to attend classes before was reduced. I don't know if it was because their parents stopped him, or if they really found Shikamaru's classes boring.
If possible, Shikamaru wouldn't mind killing these people who were making sarcastic comments behind their backs, so as not to disturb others around them. It was impossible for him to think about it, so he simply ignored it. Anyway, he would soon be gloating to these people.
Give someone a loud slap and now make them jump around.
Shikamaru thought and continued his lecture.
This is already the third time the class has started. His habit has always been to explain the knowledge of the ninja school to the students in the morning, and in the afternoon he will ask questions and answer questions, as well as explain his ideas or insights.
It was now afternoon, and Shikamaru was explaining in a gentle tone to the students who were listening quietly in the living room.
"Chakra is not an inseparable whole. Chakra is formed by the combination of spiritual and physical energy, and these two energies are not just the materials that make up chakra." Shikamaru looked confused.
The students who understood smiled slightly and spread their right palms. A thin layer of chakra showed through the skin, emitting a light blue light, attracting the attention of the students: "Control the chakra to let this energy
Changes and distortions are dominated by spiritual energy..."
Shikamaru was about to continue explaining, but unexpectedly there was a knock on the door.
"I'll open the door!" Konohamaru called out sensibly, got up and ran towards the door.
Shikamaru, on the other hand, looked at the time thoughtfully, guessing who was coming.
Konohamaru's questions and greetings could be vaguely heard. After a while, a young man with long black hair, a handsome face, and a cold temperament followed Konohamaru into the living room. The other students were confused.
Looking at him, he casually found an empty seat and sat down. He smiled at Shikamaru and then remained silent, assuming a listening posture.
The forehead protector on the forehead of the black-haired boy attracted the attention of other students. Students with a little knowledge also knew that the strange-looking eyes of the other boy came from the Riku clan, a famous family in Konoha Village.
Shikamaru glanced at Rikua Neji calmly, and then continued to teach, seemingly not caring about his arrival until the class was over and the students, including Rikua Neji, left.
The two of them didn't have much communication.
But when this incident spread among the students who returned home, many people were shocked and unbelievable.
A famous genius from the Riku clan, attending classes under Nara Shikamaru?
