Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 170 Seven Companions

Naruto Uzumaki and Choji Akimichi had joyful expressions on their faces, with uncontrollable smiles on their faces. The wound on Tsunade's waist represented that they had won the victory. Even Shikamaru had a faint smile on his mouth .

Shikamaru never believed that in this world, there is one person who can do things in the world without going out. In the previous life, there were many people who would be influenced by some rumors on the Internet. In this world, there is no such thing as the Internet. Obtaining information is not that simple.The reason why he was able to plot against Zabuzhan, Kawakawa Kiwan, and Gaara who were stronger than him, and defeated each other successively, was because of his own understanding of the world and the huge amount of information he obtained.

Intelligence is the basis of action for all plans. Without these, all strategies would appear extremely naive.

Just like the situation Tsunade is facing today, the intelligence of whether an enemy knows the "Shadow Clone Technique" is enough to determine whether the outcome of the battle is victory or defeat.

You know, "Shadow Clone Jutsu" is a B-level ninjutsu, which is already a skill at the level of a high-level ninja. When Shikamaru was in the izakaya, he deliberately reminded Tsunade that they are low-level ninjutsu. Let Uzumaki Naruto be the first to use the "Shadow Clone Technique" to attract Tsunade's attention, and let her know that Uzumaki Naruto will use the "Shadow Clone Technique", the worst body skill among the three ninjas, Even if this advanced ninjutsu can be used, the threat to Tsunade is minimal, and it can also make Tsunade subconsciously think that the reason why Uzumaki Naruto is so arrogant is because of this advanced ninjutsu.

Shikamaru and Tsunade were not equal in the report from the very beginning, not to mention Shikamaru's understanding of the original world, even with Tsunade's reputation in the ninja world, he can know a lot of deeds. Next, among Naruto Uzumichi, Choji Akimichi, and Shikamaru Nara, even the most famous Shikamaru himself, Tsunade probably doesn't know much about it.

Fighting style, mastery of "skills"...

Everything about Shikamaru and the others is unknown to Tsunade, and what she relies on is nothing but her own strong personal strength.

Faced with powerful enemies, fighting head-on is not what Shikamaru likes to do. To deal with such people, instead of putting themselves in danger and gaining little profit, it is better to guide them to make mistakes. Shikamaru faced Tsunade's provocation in the izakaya The last words and deeds are to a large extent deliberately guiding the other party's thoughts.

As for when Shikamaru used the shadow clone and change technique, disguised as a passerby...

In fact, after Tsunade walked out of the izakaya, Shikamaru did this when discussing the battle plan with Uzumaki Naruto and Akimichi Choji.

The battle between the three of Shikamaru and Tsunade did not start. In other words, when Tsunade provoked the three of them, and the three of them also responded to the battle, it was equivalent to the beginning of the battle. There was no real referee in this battle. There are no so-called "rules" at all, and for ninja battles, the so-called rules are originally used to find loopholes. Any conditions on the battlefield that limit one's own side must be overcome and evaded by all means, because war itself is The saying that everything is used to the extreme, and soldiers are not tired of deceit, originally applies to ninjas.

However, Shikamaru never even thought about using blood phobia to defeat Tsunade. Not to mention how to explain that he knows this, Shikamaru's goal in this battle has not been achieved.

Anyone who is defeated by the enemy using what he hates the most will not feel good. Correspondingly, he will feel extremely disgusted with this kind of person. What's more, the reason why ninjas have their current status is not because of their cunning style. What's more important is that it has enough power to overwhelm other combat professions.

It was Shikamaru's purpose to show his strength and brains instead of making himself appear insidious and cunning.

Blind fighting is meaningless, and any fighting should serve one's own interests. This is Shikamaru's view on fighting. He doesn't like fighting unprepared battles, but he doesn't like fighting meaningless battles even more.

If a verbal agreement with a stranger can really restrain Tsunade, a female ninja who often borrows money and evades debt collection countless times, Tsunade will not be able to stand in front of Shikamaru safely.

Commitment at the expense of life may apply to some ninjas, but that is to one's own friend, not to a stranger.

…………

The blood on Tsunade's waist not only put smiles on the faces of Naruto Uzumaki and Choji Akimichi, but Tsunade himself also had a strange expression on his face.

Tough, pale, panicked?

Shikamaru used the "Shadow Summoning Technique" to leave a shallow wound on Tsunade's waist, and only a small amount of blood flowed out, but this made Tsunade's original fair skin completely lose its color, as if all the blood had flowed from his waist. The wound in the waist slipped away, making this woman who seemed extremely strong just now become weak and unbearable.

She seemed to want to reach out her hand to block the wound, but as far as she could see, she seemed to feel that the bright red liquid was as hot as a flame, and she gave up halfway through the journey. She just subconsciously clasped her hands together and put them on her chest to form a subconscious protection action.

Even Akimichi Choji and Uzumaki Naruto, who were filled with joy, noticed Tsunade's abnormality. Uzumaki Naruto looked at Tsunade suspiciously, then at Shikamaru who had slowly walked over, and even suspected Shikamaru Did he use some trick again to make Tsunade, who was only slightly injured, look like this.

Jiraiya, who had been standing at the door of the izakaya with his arms crossed, also saw Tsunade's appearance, and then looked at the other party's blood-soaked waist, frowning, wondering what he was thinking, and Kato Shizune who was standing beside him At this time, he had already thrown the pet pig tongu on the ground, walked quickly to Tsunade, and used medical ninjutsu to heal her.

"Why are you afraid of being like this after suffering such a minor injury?" Uzumaki Naruto muttered to himself.

"That's blood phobia." Jiraiya did not know when he came behind Naruto Uzumaki, just overheard his words, and patted him on the shoulder and said for some unknown reason.

"Blood phobia?" Uzumaki Naruto was a little puzzled, as if he didn't understand Jiraiya's words.

"That's a kind of phobia." Shikamaru came to Uzumaki Naruto's side, and after hearing Jiraiya's words, he looked at him strangely and answered: "Some things that can pose danger and threat to people Objective things can often trigger fear, and this is the origin of phobia."

Shikamaru saw that Uzumaki Naruto still seemed to understand, so he explained: "The fear of blood may be because it reminds the patient that he and the person he cares about will be injured or even die, so he will have fear. This kind of emotion It has been magnified several times and even affects normal behavior, which has become a serious disease, which is the so-called phobia.”

"How can a ninja be afraid of this!" Uzumaki Naruto said after hearing Shikamaru's explanation, curling his lips in disdain.

"I'm also a little surprised. This is an extremely serious illness for medical ninjas, even ninjas." Shikamaru looked solemn, as if he had never thought that Tsunade would have such a mental illness before, and whispered: " It's a mental illness and it's not that easy to treat."

"Then can she still help Asma-sensei with treatment!?" Akimichi Choji, who had just come to Shikamaru's side, asked hastily after hearing this.

"...It's very difficult." Shikamaru sighed and said: "I can only invite her back to Konoha first, and then find a way to treat her mental illness. She is too dangerous in her current state."

Hearing Shikamaru's words, Uzumaki Naruto and Akimichi Choji couldn't help but look at Tsunade. Although the wound had healed under Kato Shizune's treatment, she still seemed a little nervous and flustered. Walk back to the izakaya with the help.

"We have already won, what should we do next? Shall we take her back to the village directly?" Choji Akimichi asked Shikamaru and Jiraiya.

"Leave the rest to me first!" Jiraiya shook his head at Choji Akimichi and said, seeing Shikamaru looking at him, he couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, and said with a hearty smile: "Good job! "

Shikamaru smiled, although he knew that the other party spoke from the heart, but he couldn't be happy, and joined forces with Uzumaki Naruto and Akimichi Choji, it was only a slight injury to Tsunade if all the tricks were exhausted. For Shikamaru, who has endured for less than a year, this is considered an "achievement", but emotionally speaking, it is really difficult to accept.

…………

Jiraiya, Shikamaru, Akimichi Choji, Uzumaki Naruto, and Kaikai finally followed Kato Shizune who supported Tsunade to the hotel where the two stayed. In Tsunade's current state, she was going to be brought back immediately. It was impossible for Konoha, and it was getting late, and it was not convenient to travel.

In fact, if Tsunade really wants to break the contract and not return to Konoha Village, Shikamaru and the others really have nothing to do. It is impossible to capture Tsunade, except to live with the other party for a while. In addition, there seems to be no good way.

The most important thing is that Shikamaru is clear, and Jiraiya is probably already aware of the existence of Orochimaru.

What Tsunade said when he first walked into the izakaya, as well as the request to Shikamaru and Jiraiya to "leave immediately and return to Konoha Village immediately", are a bit strange, not to mention, Mute several times hesitant to speak, It was enough to make him suspicious.

One thing Hiruzaru Sarutobi guessed wrong, although his beloved apprentice Jiraiya was also stubborn and valued his companions, he would also have murderous intentions towards his former companions.

As long as this person tries to destroy his cherished ninja village and kill his respected teacher.

Willing to be a foil, with the identity of Sannin, he is still constantly looking for the illusory son of prophecy in various places, and he is not unwilling at all. How can Jiraiya's overall concept be said to be weak?
