Shadow of the Wood

Chapter [-] Paving the Road

The way to defeat Gaara, in the end, is to break through how to find a way to break through his defense.

This is true whether it is Gaara's sand shield, sand armor, or awakening it from the state of guarding the crane.

Shikamaru will not naively think that as long as he has Heliwan, he will be able to easily defeat Gaara. Heliwan is one of his cards, but now it seems that this card alone seems to be far from enough , especially after he watched Gaara and Rock Lee's thrilling match with his own eyes, he had a clear understanding of Gaara's strength - the power of Jinjuriki was originally born for war, and it was enduring The status of the world is like the nuclear weapons of Shikamaru's previous life, Gaara's potential and strength can be seen from this.

In the state of using Bamen Dunjia, Li Lianhua did not smash Gaara's defense in one fell swoop and defeated him. Gaara's terrifying defensive power really impressed Shikamaru.

Compared with Chidori, although the spiral pill consumes less chakra due to the lack of the step of changing the nature of chakra, but in terms of the amount of chakra in Shikamaru, it can only be used five times in a row—— This is his limit when he does not use other ninjutsu such as shadow imitation. In normal battles, Shikamaru can only use spiral pills about three times. Otherwise, excessive use of Chakra will There is a threat to his life. After all, Shikamaru's body is not as good as Naruto's. He has a nine-tailed fox that can replenish chakra at any time. The energy of the cells is crazily squeezed, and the only way to die is to cause serious damage to the body.

Spiral pill is actually not as good as Chidori in penetrating ability. Like in the original book, Sasuke Uchiha used Chidori to continuously break through the sand shield and sand armor to seriously injure Gaara. I am afraid it is impossible, so it is impossible to break through Gaara For Luo's absolute defense, Shikamaru must ensure that the spiral pill exerts its absolute power, at least avoid the sand shield, and hit the spiral pill on Gaara's vitals, so that he can be seriously injured.

A quick battle is what Shikamaru must do. After all, his physical strength and energy are not comparable to Gaara who is the Tsuru Jinchuriki. Crane's rogue tricks, under the whole heart to be a turtle, Shikamaru has Heliwan and can't do anything about it.

In fact, the best tactic is Shikamaru's ability to move at a high speed comparable to Rock Lee's, and possess absolute speed. With all the advantages, Heliwanwan's hit rate can be guaranteed, and the sand shield is powerless to stop it.

It's a pity that Shikamaru is not Rock Lee. He can pay attention to physical skills, but he can't take physical skills as his own and devote all his energy. Although his cultivation base is much better than other jinnin, but in terms of speed, he is still not Rock Lee's opponent.

As for counting on the one month before the official selection begins—this seemingly long time, but it is actually an extremely short time for practice—to train his physical skills to reach the height of Rock Lee...

Although Shikamaru never deliberately looked down on himself, he also had no hope for it.

In the original book, the reason why Uchiha Sasuke was able to do this is because he has Sharingan, and he copied the opponent's movements and speed during the previous fight with Rock Lee, which made his The body imitates the speed of Rock Lee. Maybe it will be a painful torture at the beginning because of insufficient physical fitness, but it can make Uchiha Sasuke's body constantly recollect and adapt to this speed during training, and speed up his practice. The progress, and more importantly - his surname is Uchiha....

Thinking of this, Shikamaru couldn't help sighing, his dark eyes seemed unfathomable, with a trace of other emotions.

To put it bluntly, Shikamaru has proved his strength by passing this exam. After seeing the elite ninjas of various ninja villages, he has the ability to be sure that he is not only in Konoha Village, but even in the entire ninja world. , Among the ninjas of the same level, he is also the top group, few people can match.

It's a pity that his competitor is not from a famous family, but a veritable monster.

Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki and Ningji Hyuga are following closely behind. Shikamaru can be sure that if there is no hard work that is different from the original Shikamaru today, as long as there is a little slack, with the amazing talents of these three people , and Nara Shikamaru's mediocre physical fitness, although it cannot be said that it will be lost to everyone, but if you want to have your own place in this colorful world and the subsequent era of changes, and even play a major role role, but it is definitely impossible.

Shikamaru must constantly work hard and work hard, study and study and study again. This is the only thing he, a ninja with ordinary qualifications, can do, and it is also a desperate struggle for a man without a father to fight.

Shikamaru will not complain, and he is not qualified to complain that Nara Shika is not around for a long time. He was born as Hokage, and even the patriarch of the Nara clan. It is a gift from God to be able to be reborn once. No matter how extravagant, it seems that some desires are dissatisfied. The rest of them Decided to grasp them one by one by myself.

Although blood succession is rampant in this world, it is common sense to fight for parents, but it is not impossible for ordinary people without qualifications to break this common sense and stand at the top of the entire ninja world pyramid.

They went on and on, because they were not reconciled to the constraints of fate. There may be many losers lying dead on the side of the road, and no one cares about them, but they are like Sarutobi Hiruzen, Namikaze Minato, Jiraiya and Orochimaru. There are still people alive and famous in the ninja world.

"They can do it, why can't I do it!?" Shikamaru's slightly pale face contrasted with dark eyes like ink, and Ino, who was beside him, looked back inadvertently, but found that there seemed to be a flame burning in it. combustion.

There is a deep and firm temperament emerging from Shikamaru who still has a childish face. This feeling is invisible and intangible, but it still makes Choji and Ino, who have been together for a long time and are very familiar with Shikamaru, notice it. The traveler who groped in the dark found the light, just like the lone wolf wandering the grassland found the prey, so firm and persistent.

The so-called Tao of Ninja is not just a simple term. The goal of life and the path of life are in it. This world is like the culture of an island country in the previous life. It likes to describe many skills as "Tao". This implication is to tell yourself Even practitioners, this is a pursuit worthy of a lifetime.

The exploration of ninja way is not just a matter of getting hot-headed and patting your head to figure it out, but that ninjas are gradually removing doubts as they grow and experience more, breaking through layers of veils, and making their minds more transparent. The pure process of will.

"All the time to solve the hesitation and hesitation in the heart, and to deepen one's perception through everything around you... This is the way of ninja!" Shikamaru's eyes gradually brightened, and the corners of his mouth were drawn. When he came back to his senses, with a confident smile on his face, his heart fluctuated: "My road has already been paved, how can Gaara stop me!?"
