Torture without a clear purpose is even more difficult. Shikamaru doesn't know what information he should extract, and he can't reveal this in front of the prisoner yet - unless he is preparing for reverse torture, he cannot lose the initiative in the torture.
Fortunately, the new technique Shikamaru discovered has the ability to influence the emotions of others, and he doesn't mind showing this off under the monitor. After constantly provoking the prisoner's emotions, Shikamaru has been looking for topics for him to talk about.
, and constantly analyze the information contained in it.
The most terrifying thing about interrogating prisoners is not that the prisoner falls into extreme emotions, but that the other party always maintains sufficient reason and calmness. People are more likely to make mistakes under extreme emotions. From this point of view, Shikamaru's new technique is indeed a powerful tool for torture and interrogation.
.
Although it took some time, Shikamaru finally managed to pry open the prisoner's mouth, not only making him spit out a lot of information, but also inciting him to rebel and agree to be a double agent - the latter was much easier, since he had already become a traitor
, as long as Konoha Village can arrange a better future for him, there will be no more psychological burden.
The interrogation was relatively successful, and Shikamaru also believed that several experienced torture experts led by Morino Ihiki would notice the new techniques he showed during the torture. If nothing goes wrong, he should be successfully promoted within three days.
For being a special jounin.
…………
Just as Shikamaru imagined, several invigilators who assessed him, including Morino Ihiki, gave him a good score for his performance in the exam.
It's just that when Tsunade faced this examination paper, she seemed a little hesitant.
Shikamaru, who was promoted to a special Jonin for his specialty in torture and interrogation, is undoubtedly qualified to become the captain of the torture and interrogation department, but he also has another ANBU identity. The work of the torture and interrogation department was originally just a cover-up.
The captain is not as inconspicuous as the intelligence officer. If it affects Shikamaru's work in ANBU, it will be a bit of a waste of time.
After all, as the combat force directly under the Hokage, the ANBU is far more important than the torture and interrogation department. Tsunade has completely controlled the medical department, and now she is also preparing to increase her control over the ANBU. As his disciple, Shikamaru has shown outstanding performance.
Her talent will undoubtedly help her achieve her goal faster.
It was impossible to just suppress it. Could it be that Tsunade could let a special jounin who was good at torture and interrogation work as a handyman? This would be too deliberate.
Tsunade stroked her forehead, stretched out her index finger and tapped the table. She reluctantly came up with a solution that was not a solution, and decided to first assign Shikamaru the title of head of the torture and interrogation team. After all, the torture and interrogation department is not a combat department. Personnel replacement
The handover is not intensive, it is already fully staffed, and there are not that many prisoners to interrogate.
Shikamaru didn't know that his job arrangement after being promoted to special jounin had once made Tsunade feel embarrassed. He just looked at the certificate carefully and hung it on the wall of the study room, placing it side by side with the chuunin certificate.
Compared to the past, where clan members helped to promote the news, the news that Shikamaru became a special jounin was not conveyed as quickly as before. However, after the New Year, Shikamaru was only thirteen years old, and he could achieve this at this age in peacetime.
This step is not easy, and some ninjas who have heard the news more or less can't help but look sideways - this has achieved Shikamaru's goal.
With the unprecedented scale of the Chuunin Exams, a series of propaganda bombings were carried out on the villagers of Konoha Village. Shikamaru's reputation as a genius has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he does not need to work too hard to do similar things.
Rather than promoting himself, Shikamaru is now more willing to focus on how to entertain Shiranui Genma - there is something in the other party that he really wants to get.
…………
The title "Yellow Flash" comes from the fourth generation Hokage Namikaze Minato's superb space-time ninjutsu. He shuttles freely on the battlefield like a ghost, and is really a nightmare for the enemy.
As the stunt that the Fourth Hokage relied on to become famous, Shikamaru, who is familiar with the original work, would obviously be deceiving himself if he said he had not coveted it in the past. However, he understood his own abilities in his early years, and even if the Fourth Hokage was reborn and taught him step by step, he would not be able to use it.
But now, Shikamaru, who has been staying at home recently to figure out "black magic", has vaguely grasped the veins of spiritual energy. When the human spirit gradually gets rid of the shackles of lust, the abilities revealed are enough to make people stunned.
, the ability to perceive spiritual energy is more direct than the physical senses, and to some extent, it is also "clearer". Things that could not be "seen" and discovered in the past are beginning to appear under the exploration of spiritual energy - relying on
With the ability to perceive energy, Shikamaru can more easily discover the existence of space and dimensions - he is deeply fascinated by this.
However, it is not that easy to travel freely through space and create ninjutsu with the ability to move instantaneously. Shikamaru only has two ideas.
One is to leave two coordinates in the three-dimensional space where he is, and then use powerful energy to distort the space so that the two points almost coincide with each other, and Shikamaru himself will pass through them to complete the purpose of teleportation.
Or break the barrier of time, explore and control the fourth dimension - time, in addition to the three dimensions formed by length, width and height, and form the ability to move at will in an "instant" by manipulating the passage of time.
The latter was too difficult and Shikamaru would not consider it for a short period of time, but the former required distortion of space and the requirement to leave coordinates also made Shikamaru think hard.
He tried to store his spiritual energy in something like "Shadow Show", but even though the purified spiritual energy resonated with him more than before and produced a stronger attraction, it was still far from what he needed.
Not to mention that he also needs the powerful energy required to distort space - this really makes Shikamaru, who has always been short in chakra capacity, a bit daunting.
Shikamaru had to understand everything about the ninjutsu and knowledge left by the Fourth Hokage, a predecessor who was proficient in time and space ninjutsu and teleportation abilities, otherwise he would try to go to Kumoyin Village to kidnap the possessor.
The secretary of the Raikage who had the ability to teleport objects to other places - to be honest, Shikamaru felt that this matter was no less difficult than directly finding the masked man Uchiha Obito and asking questions face to face.
Shiranui Genma and Namashi Rai and others once served as the guards of the Fourth Hokage. The Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato also generously taught them his famous stunts, although several of them have been fighting for many years because of their lack of chakra and ability.
Because of this, the reputation of "Yellow Flash" cannot be reproduced, and it can only be used when combining forces. However, these are not too important to Shikamaru, or in other words, this situation is more beneficial to him.
If Shiranui Genma had become so famous in the ninja world with this ninjutsu, Shikamaru simply wouldn't have any hope that he would be willing to exchange this S-level ninjutsu with him.
Fortunately this is not the case.
Shiranui Genma was not only the examiner for the last match of the Chunin Examination, he also worked side by side with Shikamaru during the Battle of Konoha's Collapse. More importantly, he was also one of the recommenders for Shikamaru's promotion to Chunin. Shikamaru and
Although he is not as close as Asuma Sarutobi, he still has a certain friendship.
So when Shikamaru invited Shiranui Genma to dinner, the other party happily agreed.
"Are you still giving lectures recently?" Shiranui Genma took his seat first and then started to greet Shikamaru: "How is the situation?"
"It's not bad. Looking at those young students, I can almost see the prosperous Konoha Village in the future." Shikamaru said with a smile, and continued as if he didn't care: "But I have been busy recently to be promoted to a special jounin.
They are also preparing to study new techniques for their exams, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to teach them during this period.”
"Really?" Shiranui Genma looked at Shikamaru's face that still had a hint of childishness, and sighed somewhat complicatedly. If he didn't know the true age of the boy in front of him, and his body that had not yet grown out showed this, Shiranui
Genma was really not sure that Shikamaru was still just a thirteen-year-old child.
Shiranui Genma thought of Kakashi Hatake when he was a boy. He probably thought that the elders also viewed him in the same way when he was growing up rapidly.
"I haven't congratulated you on becoming a special jounin..., you said you have been studying new techniques recently?" Although he recalled the figure of a certain boy in his heart, Shiranui Genma did not lose his concentration and continued to chat with Shikamaru, his eyes fell.
The black pattern like a vertical eye in the center of Shikamaru's forehead felt a little familiar. Thinking of his identity as Tsunade's disciple, he continued to ask: "Is it the superb medical ninjutsu I just learned from the Hokage?"
?”
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Shiranui Genma felt that something was wrong. Ninjutsu was a sharp weapon for ninjas and one of the most valuable assets. If an enemy knew a good ninjutsu, it would be the same as exposing his shortcomings, unless they trusted each other very much.
Teachers, students and family members, otherwise even colleagues rarely inquire about each other's ninjutsu information.
"If it's not convenient to say it, forget it." Shiranui Genma thought of this and waved his hand.
"It's okay." To Shiranui Genma's expectation, Shikamaru did not avoid his previous question, and the topic chosen by the other party was exactly what he wanted.
"I have gained a little knowledge about chakra from recent lectures and daily thinking." Shikamaru said, spreading his right palm, and a light blue chakra light ball suddenly emerged from it, reflecting in Shiranui Genma's eyes. This familiar sight
The ninjutsu caused him to be slightly distracted, but he quickly recovered and continued to listen to Shikamaru's explanation: "I heard that Master Jiraiya said that the Rasengan invented by the Fourth Hokage is actually an incomplete ninjutsu, chakra
The missing link is the qualitative change, which is also one of my recent research directions."
"I am trying to change the nature of the chakra that has completed the form change, and merge it with the secret chakra of my clan." As Shikamaru explained, the center of the light blue ball of light in his hand suddenly became a little black.
The energy of ink appeared and gradually spread to the surroundings. In the blink of an eye, the light blue ball of light was replaced by a black ball that seemed to swallow up all the light.
"Secret Chakra?" Shiranui Genma muttered to himself as he stared closely at the black energy ball in Shikamaru's right hand that had completed the dual transformation of chakra nature and form.
The biggest difference between the secret chakra and the blood inheritance limit is that even ordinary people can master the former as long as they understand the detailed knowledge and skills after learning. It is a kind of knowledge similar to "technology", which is called
Each ninja clan keeps secrets well, such as the Nara clan. They have special methods to train and use chakra with the "yin" attribute. They use this chakra to use secret ninjutsu, even the Sharingan.
, if you don’t understand the key points, you can’t learn it.
As for the limit of blood inheritance, it is the hereditary ability that is difficult to take away and is enough to be passed down from generation to generation. Unless it is an act of plundering like eye-gouging, otherwise even if you teach outsiders step by step, they will not be able to touch the skin without the corresponding bloodline.
However, learning secret chakra is not easy, and Shiranui Genma also knows this. He knows that the ninjutsu used by Shikamaru at this time is more difficult than simply completing the chakra's nature change.
