Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 170 Three Go Out

Shikamaru's attitude towards Choji is more like a teenage boy who is nearly 30 years old in mental age and gives a certain amount of care. Maybe it must be because of the original work, but it is not much. After all, Choji Akimichi is only 12 years old. Although he is much more mature than his peers due to the atmosphere of this world and the education he has received, in Shikamaru's eyes, he is just a fat boy with a little low self-esteem.

In the original book, Uzumaki Naruto can rely on a few empty slogans to make people bow their heads and ears, almost obeying orders. In Shikamaru’s view, it can only be said that although he has some personal charm, he does have luck. After all, the so-called "Child of Destiny" has a "protagonist halo", even if he is as talented as Neiji Hinata, or as hardworking as Rock Lee, he can't compare with him.

The illusory luck cannot be grasped, even Shikamaru, who is a time traveler, can't do anything about it. Shikamaru really has no extravagant hopes for Uzumaki Naruto's weird and unreasonable luck.

So Shikamaru never expected to have a cheating halo, and everyone around him, including Choji, would automatically have the ability to maximize loyalty.

In his previous life, Shikamaru worked as a researcher in a biological laboratory in the Republic, and his position was neither high nor low as the team leader. At that time, he understood that people who have a certain status and always think about the loyalty of their subordinates are idiots. To put it bluntly, in the system of the 21st century, with the wisdom of the people, even an ordinary person, who is willing to live and die for whom?Not to mention talents who are outstanding in their own fields?

If loyalty was so cheap, there wouldn't be so many people who would like to engage in buying people's hearts.

Although the world of Hokage seems to be more developed than Shikamaru's original world, the quality of ninjas is definitely better than that of many so-called "elite classes" in Shikamaru's previous life by dozens of roads, both physically and mentally. These people "surrender", but the gains outweigh the losses. People who always regard others as fools are actually real fools in the eyes of others.

The attitude of Akimichi Choji and Yamanaka Ino towards Shikamaru, in addition to the friendship they get along with, is just because a small team—even among friends—the supposed leader is occupied by Shikamaru. The correctness of the decisions has always been enough for the two of them to trust, that's why they were able to do this.

Because they are ninjas, their long-term education has taught them the importance of obedience and cooperation, so they can follow any suggestions from Shikamaru.

This is actually the relationship between prestige, system, and identity, and it cannot be summed up by the word "loyalty". Shikamaru thinks that "centripetal force" is more appropriate.

Among the ninja, the third person who can be accepted and relied on by Shikamaru, Hyuga Ningji, was also defeated by Shikamaru with his personal strength, and after being forced to obey Shikamaru's order in the system, he saw that his decision-making was correct, resulting in A real sense of identity.

Of course, among the ninjas, there is a relationship between superiors and subordinates. Shikamaru is not a brainless elite who yells "Minzhu freedom" as soon as he travels through time, and then quits his business, causing chaos all day long. However, he does not agree with taking it for granted. You should bow down to him. Shimura Danzo also knows how to overwhelm others with power, and he cultivates dead soldiers by himself. He Nara Shikamaru is still a ninja, and he has no right to do so.

The superiors themselves have no personality charm, and all they think about is eating, drinking, having fun and even shouting slogans after being in a high position. Unless there is an absolutely powerful system to suppress and stabilize the subordinates, otherwise the group will definitely disintegrate—even if there is a strong system , It will only lead to renunciation.

But this kind of system can only be aimed at ordinary people. For ninjas who have power and have received advanced education and training, as well as ninjas with a simple and clear scale, this kind of people don’t have the possibility of being superior, even if they do, they can Can't do it for long.

Because such people can't lead their subordinates to win the war, and they don't have the prestige and ability to overwhelm their subordinates, so they can't gain enough trust. A tough system is useless for ninjas. At worst, they walk away and become rebels, fearing that they will be hunted down. Feel free to join other ninja villages.

The final result may be that the leader of a ninja village who is superior to others goes to the battlefield, but finds that there are more and more avoiders and deserters. In the end, he may find that he is the only one fighting, and Luo Luo ends in tragedy.

This is the mutual obligation between the team leader and the team members. The team members should obey the leader. The question is why do they obey?

Shikamaru thinks the most in his free time after training and rest, or how he feels about the world of Naruto over the years, how he should do things in the future, and even how to lead a ninja village. As a ninja, it seems too late to think about these things at first glance. It's too early, but he clearly understands that the so-called prestige and sense of identity, apart from the certain bonuses given to you by Ninja Village's own system, mainly depend on personal ability.

Shikamaru is still a ninja now, even if there are some faults, it is nothing, and there is always Asma Sarutobi or Shikahisa Nara who can help out, but after becoming a zhongnin, as a possible member of the combat department to take on important tasks, even After being the leader of the team, he must make fewer mistakes, or even make no mistakes!

Ten correct decisions can develop a certain prestige, but one wrong small opinion is enough to completely destroy them.

Owning the city of "Konoha White Fang", Hatake Sakumo, who has been prestige for decades, can be crushed by gossip because of a wrong decision-making. He is so devastated that he commits suicide and apologizes. Shikamaru doesn't think that he is special enough to have countless restarts Opportunity.

As a last resort, it's God's will. If I foolishly think that the so-called "failure" can make people grow, Shikamaru can only say that this person is sick in the head.

If you want to become Hokage, you can't reach the sky in one step. If you make a wrong step, the prestige you have accumulated through hard work will be lost!

…………

Choji Akimichi doesn't know what Shikamaru thinks, even though he has been with Shikamaru for many years, the friendship from childhood to adulthood, and the tacit cooperation in many things, he still feels that he can't see Shikamaru clearly.

However, just like the badly said sentence - "you know how to cherish when you lose", Choji Akimichi feels sympathy for this saying, because before he met Shikamaru, he didn't even have the qualification to "lose".

For ninjas, mobility is one of their foundations, and the importance of mobility to warfare is self-evident.

After ninjutsu is truly popularized and formalized, ninjas are completely freed from heavy armor and equipment. Large-scale crowd tactics are fearless. Compared with the lack of lethality, most of them have to fight close to each other, so they have to wear them at any time. For a samurai with armor, this alone is enough to prove the superiority of the ninja, and the rise is inevitable.

Even a child who is not a ninja knows this. Choji Akimichi, who was clumsy due to obesity in childhood, can imagine his loneliness.

Even Yamanaka Ino, Akimichi Choji still has a barrier in his heart. Among his peers, only Shikamaru's attitude makes Akimichi Choji feel grateful from the bottom of his heart.

In any world, people who don't feel angry when their friends are insulted are either not connected enough, or they hide their emotions.

Choji Akimichi obviously didn't want to hide his true thoughts at will, and unlike Shikamaru, he didn't deliberately want to arouse the disgust of everyone in Konoha Village because he suspected that Tsunade and Orochimaru had been in contact, and let them leave obediently, so he immediately calmed down his thoughts.

Tsunade's tone was frivolous and slightly sarcasm, and he seemed indifferent to Sarutobi Asma's injury. The sentence that made fun of Shikamaru and made him spend ten or twenty years learning from her was even more harsh.

Choji Akimichi was furious, when the word "old witch" came out, not only Tsunade himself froze, but Naruto Uzumichi, who had been struggling endlessly, also stared at Choji with wide eyes. A dull classmate, why did he suddenly have the guts to provoke a ninja who is known as the "Three Ninjas" like a lecherous fairy.

Shizune kept sweating from his forehead, looked at Tsunade and Choji Akimichi from time to time, and carefully observed Jiraiya's expression, lest Tsunade suddenly get angry and play drunk, I'm afraid that at that time, only Jiraiya will be able to Subdued her.

Snapped!

Unexpectedly, after hearing Akimichi Choji's words, Tsunade's expression froze and he didn't get angry. The blushing Tsunade stood up, put one foot on the table, put one hand on his knee, and leaned forward Autumn Road Dingji.

Even though it is rumored that he is in his fifties, Tsunade can still maintain his figure and appearance. When he made this movement, even wearing clothes of ordinary colors and styles, he still showed an excellent figure. He hurriedly pretended to be drinking, but peeked at Tsunade's chest.

Tsunade leaned down slightly, looked condescendingly at Choji Akimichi who was looking at her without showing any weakness, hiccupped, and with a provocative smile on his face, he said to Choji, "How are you, are you upset with me? ?”

"Boy!" Tsunade said as he raised his slender eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth were drawn into a disdainful smile. His appearance at this time did not look like one of the legendary "Three Ninjas", but rather a A drunken little hooligan.

Tsunade clenched his right hand into a fist, raised his thumb, pointed in the direction of the gate, and said to Akimichi Choji, "Go out and talk to me!?"

"Pfft!" Jilai also heard this, and seeing Tsunade's current appearance, a sip of sake couldn't help spewing out of his mouth, coughing again and again, trying to dissuade him, but he heard Akimichi Choji respond loudly without flinching. After saying "OK", I got up and walked out of the izakaya.

"Wait!" Seeing Akimichi Choji's movements, Tsunade stopped him instead, and said with a half-smile, "I'm a member of the legendary 'Sannin'. The big bullies the small."

"You!" Tsunade pointed at Akimichi Choji's puzzled eyes, pointing to Uzumaki Naruto, who was struggling just now, and was confused by the development of the matter, and pointed at Shikamaru who was frowning tightly. , glanced at the face of Kai who had kept a fake smile and said nothing since entering the izakaya, but did not point at him, and said, "And you!"

"You two go with that little fat man!" Tsunade said contemptuously, raised his head slightly, pointed his chin at the three ninjas, and added: "I only need to deal with you with one hand!"
