Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 14 Next

Although Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji three shinin privately beheaded the fugitive instead of being handed over to the town for public execution, which made the officials slightly dissatisfied, but it was not a big mistake after all, and the task of the seventh class was completed very quickly. Still barely got an A-level excellent evaluation.

On the way back to Konoha, there is no need to rush on the road. The original purpose of the mission has been achieved. Asma is willing to take the three ninja who are away from Konoha for the first time on the way home to rest and relieve a little bit after the first killing. Negative emotions, Shikamaru and the other three have accumulated a lot of money after several missions, so they bought a lot of items as souvenirs—whether it was the first time they completed the mission away from Konoha, or the first time they captured the same kind The life of a ninja is a memorable thing for a ninja.

"Shikamaru, on the way back, you, Ino, and Choji are responsible for writing down the task summary." That night, the four of the seventh class were wandering around the night market in the small town. Maru ordered.

"Understood, Mr. Asma." Shikamaru nodded. The format of the task overview was taught in the ninja school, and Asma had written it before.

Asma's request at this time is naturally to train the three of them, so Shikamaru will not be stupidly unhappy. It is said that the main duty of "guiding" the Jōnin is naturally to guide the practice of the Jōnin, and train it during this period. Maturity, if you always look like a nanny and do everything, it is an irresponsible behavior.

The way back to the village was leisurely and pleasant. After all, Ino and Choji were only children about 12 years old, and negative emotions were rare. During the play, the slightest unhappiness after the murder was forgotten.

Although it took a day or two longer than when we went there, the seventh squad with Asma following them naturally did not get carried away, and returned to Konoha with Shikamaru and the other three before the registration time expired on the pass certificate. Deliver tasks.

Shikamaru and the other three were already familiar with various procedures during the process. Although it was the first C-level mission, there were no twists and turns. After the mission was delivered, the four of them chatted for a while before going home.

In the next period of time, the seventh class took over two more C-level tasks, namely escorting dignitaries and suppressing bandits, both of which were successfully completed.

During this period, he naturally had contact with the two lower ninja classes who were in the same class. The progress of the seventh class where Naruto and Sasuke belonged naturally also looked in Shikamaru's eyes.

Shikamaru is looking forward to Nami and his party. Although there are dangers, this is a rare opportunity to become famous in peacetime. Moreover, although Asma is also a jonin, she also has guidance and practice for herself on a daily basis, but after all, it is impossible to truly Treat the enemy as normal, letting go of all the murderous aura and strength accumulated in the years of fighting and practice. This task allows Shikamaru to truly experience the level of Jonin, and even before the Chunin exam, he can deal with Konoha Gai Learn about the strengths of your peers so that you can have a certain understanding of your own abilities.

C-level missions, and even D-level missions, actually use a lot of ninja knowledge, and the ninja can also get exercise by doing these tasks. Knowing this, and deliberately observing the progress of the seventh class, Shikamaru can naturally roughly guess that the other party can The time to take on the C-level mission.

The excessive killing, of course, not only makes Ino and Choji not afraid of killing, but more importantly, it makes them understand that ninjas are not as beautiful as they imagined when they were young. The passing of blood and life naturally cannot always be enemies. After Zhongnin, you can accept B-level missions, and you will come into contact with ninjas and fight, which is not as easy as killing ordinary people. If you are not strong enough, you will naturally die.

This kind of cognition made Ino and Choji, who were still much lazy, quickly change their attitudes. They began to work hard in practice and study, and they also had a certain degree of agreement with Shikamaru's frequent proposals to accept tasks.

Early this morning, Shikamaru, Asuma and other four people from Class [-] who came to the mission release center as usual, were unexpected but reasonable, and everyone from Class [-] headed by Naruto who looked unhappy.

"Good morning! Everyone!" Shikamaru greeted first with a smile.

"Morning!" "Morning!" "Good morning!" Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura also greeted each other. Most of them were nostalgic, and the ninjas in the two classes were all graduates of the ninja school in the same period. Although it was not too close at school, once we parted, we would inevitably feel nostalgia and closeness when we saw each other again. What's more, Shikamaru's popularity at school has always been good. All good.

Kakashi and Asma also nodded and greeted each other.The two groups walked towards the task announcement center together, but clearly separated.

"Shikamaru, how many tasks have you completed now?" Naruto, who was holding a fat cat writhing restlessly in his arms, approached Shikamaru and asked.Looking at the smiling face that was trying to flatter, Shikamaru really couldn't bear to refuse to answer: "Well, 7 times for D-level and 3 times for C-level."

"Ah! You have all done C-level missions three times!" Naruto yelled after hearing this, and then ran to Kakashi with a bitter face, and said aggrievedly: "Mr. Kakashi, you Looking at the tenth class, we have already done three C-level missions, and we have not taken over one! Can you speak to Grandpa Hokage and stop us from doing D-level missions again!" Naruto Put your hands together to make a petition.

"It's not up to me, Naruto." Maybe Naruto's appearance is really pitiful, Kakashi finally diverted his attention from the heaven of intimacy, and looked down at Naruto whose immature face was huddled together. Ren, said lazily: "You can't even do the D-level tasks well, which leads to the low evaluation of the employer, so it is difficult for Hokage to arrange tasks for higher-level tasks without worry!"

"I want to become a Naruto ninja. I am not born to do such low-level tasks. I should do some more advanced tasks. I will definitely be able to complete them well!"

"However, Hokage of all dynasties also started from such small tasks and gradually grew up!"

"..."

The stubborn Naruto and Kakashi argued, while Kakashi gave Naruto admonishment with a look of indifference.

…………

Naruto's character is doomed to many things.Naruto, who was completely unable to answer Kakashi's words, had no choice but to beg the third generation of Hokage who was rarely in charge of the mission release center. ——This good old man who regards Naruto as a relative is worried in his heart—so he made a look of rage, taught Naruto a lesson, and asked him to apologize to Sarutobi Hiruzen and Hatake Kakashi, which faintly reveals concern Although Naruto was ignorant and didn't know the reason for his act of love, but out of respect and love for Iruka, he had no choice but to write his reluctance on his face, and apologized to Sarutobi Hiruzen and Hatake Kakashi respectively.

"I'm sorry, three-generation old man!"

"I'm sorry, lecherous uncle!"

"Boom!"

The mean-spirited Naruto punched Iruka, "Ouch!", frowned, squatted on the ground, covered his head with his hands, and took a deep breath.

The third Hokage Hiruza Sarutobi looked at Naruto who was playing tricks. The man called "Ninjao" naturally had a certain amount of stamina, and the blond hair always reminded him of that talented and easy-going young man unconsciously. This point really made Hiruzaru Sarutobi unable to get angry.

Hiruza Sarutobi smiled gently, and waved his hand to stop Iruka who bowed and apologized in place of Naruto. Considering that the seventh class led by Kakashi has also done a lot of D-level tasks, he should also try to start receiving c It's a high-level mission, so I gave a few instructions to a Chunin next to me.

After the ninja answered, he left. A few minutes later, he led an old man who was full of alcohol and looked sloppy but energetic into the task release center, and introduced him to everyone in the seventh class where Kakashi belonged. This person is naturally the construction master of the Kingdom of Waves—Dazna.

If it was the same as in the original book, it would be okay if only the seventh class led by Kakashi was there, but at this time, Naruto squatting on the ground looked even more stupid, and Kakashi's dress was a bit weird, so he seemed drunk and confused, but in fact Dazna, with a clear mind, was naturally worried and didn't want to hire the seventh class.

Pretending to be drunk, boldly obfuscated some details of the task, and deceived the release center of Konoha Village in a disguised form. This was discovered, that is, he was ordered to hand over a large fine, but if this led to Konoha Ninja Casualties - Dazna not only has to worry about Kado's threat, Konoha Ninja will also take his life.

So Dazna stared at the scarlet eyes, sprayed the smell of alcohol, pointed at Naruto who was squatting on the ground, and said unceremoniously: "Can he do it!"

Dazna's tone obviously reveals distrust and suspicion, even Naruto, who is unresponsive, can easily hear it, so he defended angrily: "I want to become a fire..."

"I don't want to hire this short winter melon," Dazna ignored Naruto at all, pointed to the four members of the tenth class who had been standing not far away watching the farce, and asked Hiruza Sarutobi: "I want to hire them .”

Compared to class [-], although decadent, the bearded, mature and tough Asma looks more reliable than Kakashi after all. Although one of the three genin is fat, the other party looks at When Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura and the others, there was a hint of complacency in their eyes, which naturally couldn't be concealed from the experienced Dazna, which proved that the other party should be better than Naruto and the others.

"What are you talking about!" Naruto was stunned for a moment when his rhetoric was interrupted, and then he quickly realized that there seemed to be veins popping up on his forehead, he rolled up his sleeves, and was about to rush in front of Dazna, but at this moment, he felt a blur in front of his eyes, a A tall figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

This young man with a ponytail and a plain expression on his face was naturally Shikamaru.

"So fast!" Uchiha Sasuke, who had been watching Naruto's performance with cold eyes, shrank his pupils. At that moment, he didn't catch Shikamaru's figure at all, which made him unbelievable. You must know that in the ninja school, although Shikamaru kept pressing him One end, but the gap is not so big: "How is it possible, how can he improve so fast!?"

"Is it the instant body technique!" Seeing this scene, the third Hokage knocked on his pipe, with a smile on his face hidden in the shadow of the bamboo hat: "I didn't expect to have progressed to this point, Lu Jiu really taught A good child has been born." Of course, he was overwhelmed, and he decided on the spot that Shikamaru was a rare genius once in a hundred years, which is naturally impossible, and his level is not enough for the third generation of Hokage to be like this.

Using Chakra to condense in the lower limbs to generate explosive power is actually the skill of the instant body technique. In the original book, the wave country chapter, Uchiha Sasuke who has learned the method of climbing trees with Chakra is self-taught, deer Maru has already learned to tread water at this time, and it is his turn to control the ability of Chakra, and he does not know how much higher than Sasuke Uchiha at that time, so he can naturally learn it.

Of course, without the quick-response pupil technique of writing sharing eyes or the coordination of blood succession limit, it is difficult for ordinary ninjas to react and fight in such a short-term abnormally high-speed state-this is fighting for blood, Uchi The Bo family's "Blinking Body Stopping Water" should be based on the explosive speed of the Blinking Technique, coupled with the superb reaction ability of Sharingan, so that it can respond in a blinking state, and its strength has greatly increased-this condensed A slight increase or decrease in the number of chakras in the lower limbs will lead to a deviation in distance. If ordinary ninjas really want to practice for a long time and try to adapt to this speed, they must have extremely good chakra control skills. Naturally, Shikamaru can't do it at this time This level, but many times, this ninjutsu can also come in handy.

"Shikamaru, what are you doing!?" Naruto was also surprised by Shikamaru's speed, so he frowned and asked him.

"Naruto," Shikamaru said slowly after looking at Asma Sarutobi at the side, seeing that the other party had no tendency to stop his behavior at this time: "From now on, this person will be the object of my protection." Already!"

"What do you mean?"

"This task, our tenth class..., took over!"
