Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 170 Four Bet

Tsunade's words can be described as unexpected, or even inexplicable.

But this seems to be in line with Uzumaki Naruto's original intention. At this time, he no longer struggled, but looked eager to try.

Even so, Uzumaki Naruto did not act recklessly, but instead set his eyes on Shikamaru who was expressionless and frowning slightly,

A series of unexpected things made Naruto Uzumaki calm down somewhat. Although his mood to teach Tsunade a lesson has not weakened, he is not a fool without a brain. On the contrary, he can always come up with some ghostly ideas.

Different from the original book, Naruto Uzumaki didn't know the term "Three Ninja" until he was looking for Tsunade and his party for a long time, and understood who its members were.

But now, because the mission of Shikamaru and others was assigned by the consultants of Konoha Village, the purpose and requirements have been explained, and Uzumaki Naruto has already known this information-the Fifth Hokage Senju Tsunade, and Orochimaru, Jiraiya is the same, and they are all members of what was once called the "Three Ninjas" of Konoha Village.

Not to mention the fight after encountering Orochimaru in the second round of the Chunin Exam in the Death Forest, the one-sided battle made Naruto Uzumaki very impressed. Huibisi spike, the subsequent study and teaching, although always let go, and impatient appearance, but Naruto Uzumaki cannot deny that all his questions seem to be able to answer all his own questions, only this kind of knowledge, Although he didn't admit it verbally, Naruto Uzumaki admired him in his heart.

The members of the "Three Ninjas" who have met before have let Uzumaki Naruto understand its amazing strength. He can be sure that Tsunade, a female ninja who is actually over 50 years old but still able to maintain a young appearance, may be able to handle it alone. Not coming.

Of course, when Tsunade brought up Shikamaru and Akimichi Choji to "go out and talk", Uzumaki Naruto immediately focused on Shikamaru, whether it was the performance of the ninja school or the Chunin exam. Ability, among the three, only Shikamaru has sufficient organizational ability and the strongest strength, which even the stubborn and good-looking Uzumaki Naruto has to admit.

Tsunade and Jiraiya also noticed the performance of Uzumaki Naruto, the former looked at Uzumaki Naruto with a little interest, before he looked like he wanted to fight Tsunade on the spot, he thought he heard Tsunade say to use a The contemptuous words of the three of them should have erupted immediately, and they should have lost their minds, but judging by the appearance at this time, they calmed down instead.

The ninja called "accident first" by Hatake Kakashi, Uzumaki Naruto's advantage lies in his active mind, which can be seen in the ninja school when he often successfully made pranks, but his shortcoming also lies in this, too much Being active, it is difficult to concentrate on the small things around you, and as a result, you form a bad habit of not using your brains. However, after all, you have the good genes of the Uzumaki clan and the fourth generation of Hokage Namikaze Minato, plus the strength of your own jinchuriki, Uzumaki As long as Naruto works hard, he will always improve countless times faster than his peers.

Tsunade looked at Uzumaki Naruto, then set his eyes on Nara Shikamaru again, this time there was less teasing in his eyes, but more scrutiny.

Choji Akimichi's sudden outburst, as well as Naruto Uzumaki's subconscious attitude just now, clearly told Tsunade and Shizune, who met Shikamaru, Jiraiya and others for the first time, that apart from the high-ranking Jiraiya, Nara Shikamaru is the invisible leader of the two.

If Shikamaru is a Chunin, at this age, it is not easy to be promoted without war in peaceful times. In Tsunade's mind, at least he has a certain talent, but judging by Shikamaru's dress, he is not wearing standard leather armor , not like Chunin, if he is still just Genin, this would surprise Tsunade even more.

Shikamaru is a chunin, leading Akimichi Choji and Uzumaki Naruto, to a large extent, still took advantage of the Konoha Village system. The superior has natural management authority over the subordinates, but the status of the three is equal, and Shikamaru can Let Akimichi Choji take the initiative to maintain it, and let Uzumaki Naruto think of the effect as soon as he calms down. Only with considerable prestige can this be done.

Very powerful boy.

This is Tsunade and Shizune's evaluation after seeing Shikamaru's performance. Even at this time, facing Tsunade's provocation and invitation to fight, there is not much emotional fluctuation. Remarkable.

At this moment, Shikamaru's thoughts kept turning.

He feels more and more now that Tsunade has met Orochimaru and learned of the deal proposed by the other party. Now that he thinks about it, the first sentence Tsunade saw Jiraiya before - "Why are you here too", Obviously not only for the existence of himself and Jiraiya, it should be because he subconsciously said it after seeing Orochimaru.

The emotion of "missing" is very magical. People are often nostalgic. After losing, they often subconsciously beautify their hearts. What's more, in this world, because of the existence of "Forbearance", Chakra is also Built of will and spirit, ninjas tend to be paranoid.

The many persistence of ninjas can be called crazy in the eyes of ordinary people, but in fact, they are just the perfection and protection of personal values. Not to mention that Nawaki is Tsunade’s younger brother. It is also through the persistence of protecting Konoha and becoming Hokage to exercise his ninja way. To some extent, he is indeed a very charming romanticist.

What's more, Shikamaru learned that Shizune is Kato Dan's niece, but Tsunade has been taking her by his side all the time, seeing others and thinking about others, coupled with various feelings... Let Tsunade categorically reject Orochimaru, Shikamaru knew it was unrealistic when he thought about it, If there is a change, unlike the original book, Tsunade is really willing to treat Orochimaru in exchange for the resurrection of Kato Dan and Senju Nawaki, and Shikamaru is not unbelievable.

It is not easy to bring Tsunade back to Konoha Village and let him heal Sarutobi Asma obediently.

But understanding is what Shikamaru said. He wanted to bring Tsunade back to Konoha Village. Sarutobi Asma was his instructor. To some extent, he really led him to intervene with other high-level ninjas. The guide, he also knew from Yuhi Red's mouth why Sarutobi Asma came to resist Kisame and Uchiha Itachi alone at that time. This kind of kindness, Shikamaru can't ignore it, let a Jonin quit the ninja career, It could be called cruel, he didn't want this kind of bad luck to happen to Sarutobi Asma.

"In this case, let's just make a bet!" Shikamaru, who has not expressed his opinion among the three ninjas, decided in his mind, got up decisively, and said to Tsunade.

"What bet?" Sure enough, when he heard the word "bet", Tsunade's attention quickly shifted, and he asked Shikamaru with great interest.

"The three of us are Genin." Shikamaru looked at Naruto Uzumaki and Choji Akimichi and said, "We are not your opponents at all."

Except for Choji Akimichi, who is most familiar with and trusts Shikamaru, everyone present couldn't help raising their eyebrows when they heard the words that seemed to show weakness. hair.

"But I'm sure I'll hurt you." Shikamaru raised his eyebrows, showing a slightly provocative smile for the first time, looking at Tsunade: "Believe it or not!"

"Just relying on you three ninjas?" Tsunade tugged at the corner of his mouth, and gently brushed the hair that had slipped in front of his eyes behind his ears, and said, "I'm betting on you!"

"If we win, you will return to Konoha with us..." Shikamaru was about to say the bet, but Tsunade waved his hand to interrupt him.

"I will not return to Konoha Village to inherit Hokage!" Tsunade rebuffed flatly.

"...Go back to Konoha to treat my mentor, Asma Sarutobi." Shikamaru looked at Tsunade, and continued, "How?"

"...Okay!" Tsunade hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.

Shikamaru said hesitantly: "You won...."

"I won, Jiraiya still has you guys." Tsunade pointed at Jiraiya unceremoniously, and said loudly: "Hurry up and go back to Konoha Village, and don't bother me again!"

After Shikamaru heard Tsunade's proposal, although he was a little confident, he didn't dare to agree without authorization, so he had to look at Jiraiya. He was not only the actual person in charge of this operation, but if he really didn't bring Tsunade back to Konoha in the future Village, I am afraid that the burden of being the fifth Hokage will be on him.

"It's a deal!" To Shikamaru's surprise, Jiraiya agreed without hesitation, which made him unbelievable, and even doubted that Jiraiya would have planned to slip away by himself.

But since Jiraiya agreed, Shikamaru himself has confidence in the ninjutsu he recently created "Black Magic. Thousand Gen".

In the past, Shikamaru was actually a bit awkward about the need to name all kinds of ninjutsu, but after he became a ninja, he learned that all of this is more about written records and inheritance, which are more appropriate and easy to remember. It is the most suitable, and ninjutsu of the same system is often included in the "Xu Dun" and the like.

Most of Shikamaru’s self-created ninjutsu are based on the chakra changes of the "yin" attribute. In this way, "Yin Dun" is actually the most appropriate name "Shadow Dun" based on the characteristics of the Nara clan's traditional Japanese art. but.

But Shikamaru's own cautious character did not allow him to do so. It is not a good thing to name such a straightforward name, especially after naming the many ninjutsu of a system. The ninjutsu in this world is full of strange things. There are countless ninjutsu formed by using chakra. Although it may be small, Shikamaru also needs to prevent the day when the enemy develops restraint power against his "jutsu".

As for ninjutsu, from the perspective of Shikamaru, who was just an ordinary person in his previous life, this kind of magical power can only be described by "magic" and "magic" in the past. Using the former name, Shikamaru only felt a stomachache , since the word "shu" of "magic" is close, it is named after the latter.

As for "Thousand Phantasms", it is just for the characteristics of this "jutsu". The speed and power of Yin-attribute Chakra are not as good as those of Thunder-attribute Chakra and Wind-attribute Chakra. In fact, there is an essential difference, not in power, but in its almost endless and diverse changes.

The ever-changing and illusory statement is also worthy of the name.
