Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 190 Winning Over

Shikamaru's sealing process went smoothly without any twists and turns.

With Jiraiya's strength, when he used the Seal of Sealing Evil, naturally no accidents would happen, and Shikamaru himself would not resist.

The power of the curse seal looks tempting, but Shikamaru has no reliance on it. He doesn't even like to use the Bamen Dunjia, because it is not his own power after all, and there are too many uncertainties, just like there is only one bullet The pistol and dagger, although the former is more lethal, but its use is narrow.

What's more, compared to Bamen Dunjia, the power of the curse seal will also erode one's will and body. What Shikamaru is more interested in is the use of the energy of the curse seal itself-the power of immortality and spiritual power. Shikamaru also admires the superb use of the two energies.

…………

Compared to Jiraiya and Shikamaru's methodical use of the sealing seal, Tsunade who is treating Akimichi Choji is much more busy.

Due to the lack of tools and manpower, and even the most important medicinal materials, Tsunade was unable to treat Choji at all.

All she can do is to rely on her extraordinary chakra control skills to transmit the most primitive and pure body energy with vitality into Choji Akido's body, so as to keep his vitality from dying out.

This method is purely life-threatening. The clever medical ninjas can even restore the body functions of the corpses that have just died in a short period of time. Wan's corpse was dissected by Yusuke Oya, a ninja from the corpse disposal class. Among them, he and Gen. Chiba also used this technique to identify the chakra attributes of the deceased, thereby guessing the level of the ninja.

This department is under the jurisdiction of Anbu, and its members are all extremely skilled ninjas, whether it is medical technology or personal combat effectiveness.

To make a long story short, this method of using body energy is not easy. Even Tsunade, who is known as the "sage of medicine", cooperates with Shizune Kato, and it can't be delayed for a few days. Help is coming soon.

As long as he returns to Konoha Village, with excellent medical ninjas as helpers, sophisticated and high-end instruments, and precious medicinal materials, it is possible to save Akimichi Choji.

Of course, it's only possible.

After several years of traveling, Tsunade, who only hangs around gambling houses in various places, has already had the actual combat experience of fighting ninjas for a long time, not to mention the use of superb medical technology.

Counting the well-known ninjas in the ninja world, they are the best ones who stand out from their peers in fighting and fighting, probably because ninja is the most violent profession born from war.

Working behind closed doors and practicing hard in the mountains for many years, it is impossible to make much progress.

Because fighting and killing are the most honed one's mind, and mature experience will also make a person's skills reach the peak. As he experiences more enemies, he has come into contact with more abilities and blood inheritance boundaries, and even strange things For ninjutsu, I personally have a deeper understanding of Chakra and "jutsu".

For example, the same unarmed, a battle-hardened person and an ordinary person, facing a villain approaching with a knife, the latter may hesitate, frighten, and even prefer to compromise, while the former must be thinking about how to deal with it. Counterattack, when the time comes, he will strike without hesitation, on the contrary, ordinary people may hesitate to give up the opportunity to counterattack.

The strong heart that has been tempered by blood and fire is what Tsunade has lost in so many years of stable life. Escape and gambling have consumed her will. Even if she has developed two forbidden techniques in the past few years, she still cannot To make up for this.

In contrast, Jiraiya is a little bit better. He also travels, but he has no fear of blood and never escapes from battle. Tsunade has abandoned his mentality as a ninja from the bottom of his bones.

This is why Tsunade was easily suppressed by the pharmacist in the original book. A so-called "Three Ninja" title and the level of "Shangnin" are not equal to an invulnerable holy garment, but just a false name. All of this is based on his own strength. Even if Shikamaru is given the title of "Ninja God" today, Jiraiya can easily kill him.

The kunai in the hand of the ninja is also enough to draw a fatal wound on the unguarded ninja.

The level of strength includes comprehensive factors such as personal strength, experience, and intelligence. The so-called "all strategies are useless in the face of absolute power" is somewhat inexplicable.

Whether it is the earth in Nara Shikamaru's previous life, or the ninja history of this world, there has never been a powerful country with a large army that directly put all its troops into the battlefield, and did not make any plans and arrangements during the period.

Skill and wisdom are the factors that add power. How much a person's true power can be exerted depends on how he uses it, that is, wisdom-sharpshooters don't like to fight hand-to-hand, and Akai will also use similar methods in battle Close the distance with the enemy, this is the wisdom in battle.

The lion fought the rabbit with all his strength, probably because the rabbit would not be so stupid as to jump into the lion's mouth.

Tsunade may still be able to barely maintain the strength of the peak period of the year, but in terms of mind and experience, she is no longer as good as the pharmacist who was in the rapid rise at the time. In the transaction, she came to her senses at the last moment, but was easily irritated and consumed a lot of physical strength. Even if she was the legendary "Three Ninjas", she also fell into a disadvantage.

If it was Tsunade in the early years, faced with this situation, I am afraid that when Orochimaru proposed a deal, he would have taken action to kill Yakushidou, took Orochimaru, and forced him to ask the method of resurrecting Natoki and Duan, or killed him directly. It's just a difference in heart nature.

Of course, Tsunade didn't know that she almost lost to a junior in the original book, but at this moment, looking at Choji Akimichi who fell into a coma—that young and immature face with such obvious pain— — Tsunade also had a strong sense of regret in his heart.

Several years of blank experience has even made her medical techniques a lot less familiar, otherwise she would have more chances to cure Qiudao Dingji.

However, these thoughts were fleeting in Tsunade's mind, and she was quickly suppressed by her. She had already faced her own fears and overcome them, and she had gradually recovered the feeling she had when she was still the resolute, brave and decisive Princess Tsunade .

Annoyance and regret mean nothing.

What she thinks more about now is that she has promised Jiraiya, the newly recruited disciple, and promised Konoha's senior management to be the Queen of Hokage!

…………

In fact, Jiraiya also suggested Tsunade to become Shikamaru's teacher, and it was also for Tsunade's own consideration.

It is always impossible for an institution, an organization, to avoid struggle and strife, even for Muye Village.

Although Tsunade still has a very high prestige in Konoha Village and can retain most of his contacts, he has been away from the village for many years and is unfamiliar with many situations in the village.

How could Princess Tsunade, who has always been strong and stubborn, be willing to be a simple "spiritual leader" and a puppet who has no understanding of her own jurisdiction?

Since you want to be Hokage, you can't say that you have to master every detail, but the rights that Hokage should have - the jurisdiction of various departments, personnel appointments, financial management, diplomatic responses, etc., must be clearly understood and mastered. .

In this way, Kato Shizune, who has always been by Tsunade's side and is the most familiar and close, must be assigned to an important position and become her Hokage assistant.

This position seems to have no real power and low status, but in fact it serves as a link between the past and the future, and can help him grasp the information on the government affairs and finance of Konoha Village as soon as possible, so that Tsunade will not be half-assed about the situation of Konoha Village as Hokage. His eyes darkened.

Fortunately, Kato Shizune, who is like a housekeeper, is delicate and patient enough, and should be able to adapt to this well.

Next, facing several major departments of Konoha Village, Tsunade will focus on the medical department for the first time, because her prestige and achievements in the early years, even with the title of "Medical Sage", are enough to quickly Nei penetrated his will and completely controlled this department in his hands.

The importance of medical power to a war organization is self-evident. With this as a fulcrum, Tsunade can influence other combat departments.

This department is destined to be firmly held by her in the palm of her hand immediately, and taking Shikamaru as herself will not only shorten the time for this action, but also enhance her grasp.

Because behind Shikamaru is the Nara clan, because Shikamaru himself is known as the number one genius of the Nara clan!

This is tantamount to wooing the Nara clan who are responsible for providing medicinal materials for Ninja Village. Tsunade still remembers Nara Heisuke, and the wisdom of the other party impressed her very deeply. She has a very high talent for logistics management in war. She believes this The wise old man will pass on the position of the head of the Nara family to others when he returns to the village. Among them, Nara Shikamaru's father, Nara Shikahisa is the No. 1 choice.

In the original book, Shikahisa Nara, who was originally highly qualified but always kept a low profile, suddenly became very active after Tsunade returned to the village.

As long as politics is involved, it is always inevitable to express your stance and stand in line.

Nara Shikahisa used a more positive work attitude to express his support for Tsunade, and at the same time represented his own ethnic group.

This may be the helplessness of the head of the ninja village in this world.

No matter how tough and domineering the leader is, he has to compromise with these "ninjas", the difference is just how much he compromises.

The existence of Xueji Boundary and even the secret technique is the confidence to maintain the status and interests of these "ninjas". Unlike Shikamaru's previous life, there are strongmen who can sweep away this smoky thing. In this world, the existence of "ninjas" No matter how unfair it is to ordinary ninjas, there is no way to improve it. The reason why the second generation of Hokage reformed the education system is still praised today because it took away a part of the ninja inheritance monopolized by these ethnic groups. For the most part, it gives ordinary people who are expected to become ninjas a path to advancement.

The Nara clan is far inferior to the Hyuga clan in Konoha Village, which has a ninja village that is difficult to replace the blood succession limit, and it is enough to make Kazumura Hokage compromise. power up.
