Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 190 Thank You

Tsunade's eyes were drawn back along the closed door, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then took out a few forms from the drawer.

This is the recommendation list of Sarutobi Asma, Chiba Gen, Shiranui Genma, and Morino Ibiki.

The format of the recommendation is similar. First, describe some deeds in simple and concise words, without (or as far as possible without) subjective consciousness, then a short recommendation, and finally a suggestion.

Sarutobi Asma's recommendation form has the largest number of pages, and it has written many deeds of Shikamaru since Genin. Not only the performance of the mission in the country of Nami, but also the attitude of performing the mission and the evaluation of the employer are written one by one. , although he has tried not to bring his own personal feelings, but Tsunade can still see Sarutobi Asma's appreciation and love for Shikamaru from the lines.

"Calm and quick-witted, mature and steady, take on important responsibilities!" This is Sarutobi Asma's recommended comment.

Chiba Gen wrote about Shikamaru and him learning medical ninjutsu, as well as the deeds of practice during the Chunin Exam. Elite, hereby recommend."

Shiranui Genma and Morino Ibiki described Shikamaru's performance during the Chunin exam and his choice when Konoha's collapse plan occurred.

The evaluation of the former is that "has an overall view far beyond that of peers, knows how to make choices, and can be a leader."

The latter is "resolute and courageous, with high strength, and can take on the important task of leading the team."

The comments of several people were extremely short, but they pointed out their own reasons for recommendation and Shikamaru's advantages, but these were not actually to make Tsunade, who has been extremely strong recently in front of others, show a rare weakness and fatigue What really caused her some hesitation and headache was the final "suggestion" of the four of them.

Because the recommender is more or less familiar with the recommendee, according to tradition, most of them will write the department that they think the recommendee is suitable for at the end of the recommendation form, and the same is true for the four of them.

At the end, Morino Ibiki suggested that Shikamaru join the torture and interrogation department. In other words, Morino Ibiki suggested that Shikamaru work under him.

Tsunade threw aside Morino Ibiki's recommendation form with a glance.

"What is Ibixi thinking..." Tsunade held his forehead with his hand and moaned.

Perhaps Ibiki Morino became interested in talents after observing Shikamaru's performance, but it is also the case. Shikamaru, who is calm, wise, and amazingly determined, seems to be very suitable for joining the torture and interrogation department. Any prisoner can maintain an absolute psychological advantage and a strong style. Ibixi thinks that if Shikamaru gets his advice, he may not be able to become an excellent interrogator...

It's a pity that Tsunade didn't agree with Ibiki's opinion at all. Not to mention that Shikamaru was attached with Orochimaru's curse seal, Jiraiya also asked her to be Shikamaru's teacher to prevent her from repeating the same mistakes as Orochimaru, and tortured the interrogation department , that is, the prison system of Konoha Village. In fact, in terms of the degree of darkness, it is far more serious than Anbe.

Looking at the three remaining forms, Tsunade seemed a little hesitant.

Chiba Gen himself is a medical ninja in the medical emergency class, and he also taught Shikamaru medical ninjutsu. He knows Shikamaru's talent very well. He always hopes that this young man will devote more energy to medical ninjutsu, so he recommends Shikamaru Join a medical first aid class.

As for Sarutobi Asuma and Shiranui Genma, both recommended Shikamaru to join the "Anbu", which is the well-known assassination tactics special unit of Konoha Village in the ninja world.

Unlike what outsiders think, the Anbu of Konoha Village does not include all the best jonin. After all, although Anbu is an important department, other parts of Konoha Village also need manpower.

As a combat unit that directly belongs to Hokage, and it is a department that is rarely able to fight other ninjas in peacetime, there are many zhongnin in Anbu.

But they must be the most outstanding and potential group of ninjas at the same level. In the words of Shikamaru's previous life, these people are actually the disciples of the emperor, and the Anbu members who are directly led by Hokage will be marked even if they quit in the future. With the brand of Naruto, there are a lot of actual combat opportunities with advanced ninjas, and they can exercise themselves very well. Many young ninjas who once stood out in Konoha Village, after becoming Chunin, most of them have long or short Anbu working expierences.

After hesitating for a while, Tsunade finally made up his mind and took Chiba Gen's recommendation form away.

Although she wants to take the medical department into her hands as soon as possible, as a medical ninja herself, she also wants her disciples to follow the same path as her, but the medical department has a mute existence, which is enough to assist her in mastering it, and Shikamaru herself does not really want to become a ninja. Tsunade can see that he is a medical ninja, so it is not appropriate for Shikamaru to join the medical emergency class.

On the contrary, Anbe has not been fully grasped by Tsunade yet, and it can provide a lot of actual combat opportunities to exercise Shikamaru, which is indeed a good place.

Now that she has Shikamaru as her apprentice, Tsunade is not going to be perfunctory. Whether it is because of her reputation or her own character, it is impossible to watch Shikamaru become a mediocre ninja.

…………

Walking out of Tsunade's office, Shikamaru obtained the certificate and the issued standard leather armor in the Hokage Building. The efficiency of government officials composed of ninjas is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people. With the proof, he easily took out the leather armor and the certificate of complete procedures.

There are many strange beasts in this world. Even Shikamaru doesn't know the origin of the material of the leather armor, but the size is suitable. Although I haven't tried the protective ability, but I think it is the standard equipment of Konoha Village, which is the head of the five great ninja villages. Shikamaru checked carefully, and found that there are small steel plates sewn inside the leather armor on the chest and other vital parts. Generally speaking, the emphasis is on lightness and flexibility. In terms of protection, it is mainly aimed at Kumaruya.

As for the certificate, it is actually a qualification certificate for some skills in Shikamaru's previous life. It is not very useful in Konoha Village, and it is more of an honor.

After taking the leather armor and the certificate, Shikamaru didn't go home immediately, he knew that several genocides of the same period were still at home preparing to celebrate him, but before that, he still had a place to go.

…………

Sarutobi Asma's residence is located in a five-story building not far from the Hokage Building.

Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief when he came to the door, tidied up the standard leather armor he had just put on, and knocked on the door of Sarutobi Asma's house.

The sound of lightly knocking on the door was harsh in the silent corridor, Shikamaru waited for a moment, then heard a "squeak", the door had been pulled open.

It was not Asuma Sarutobi who opened the door, but a beautiful woman with a graceful figure and long hair hanging down her shoulders.

After Shikamaru saw this woman, he was taken aback for a moment, then quickly reacted, and said with a smile: "Senior Hong is here too?"

This heroic and beautiful woman is none other than Konoha's Jonin, Yuhihong.

"Yeah..." Kurenai Yuhi seemed a little shy, her cheeks were flushed, but after her eyes fell on the standard leather armor on Shikamaru, she seemed to think of something, and asked, "Are you here to see Asma? "

Shikamaru nodded.

"It just so happens that I have something to go out, so the two of you stay alone for a while!" Yuhihong smiled, stepped out of the door, made room for Shikamaru, turned and left.

Shikamaru looked at Kurenai Yuhi's back thoughtfully.

When Sarutobi Asma was injured, the person who visited him the most was neither Konohamaru as nephew, nor Ino, Choji and Shikamaru as subordinates, but Kuroyuki.

In the past, when Asma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yuhi just tried to date, she was still very reserved and low-key, but for some reason, after Asma Sarutobi was injured, she gradually showed her love boldly.

Shikamaru shook her head and laughed at herself. She didn't know what Kureni Yuhi was thinking, and there was no need to guess. After all, as a female ninja with a high level, she was not comparable to other ordinary women, and her strength and status were enough to guarantee her true Independence, not to mention the experience of a ninja is a valuable asset, and the selection conditions for a partner, wealth and power are probably second.

While thinking, he had already walked into the entrance slowly, and closed the door behind him, making a soft sound.

The previous movement had already alarmed Asma Sarutobi, and at this time he had already come to the living room, just in time to see Shikamaru who had put on slippers.

"Teacher Asma!" Shikamaru saw Sarutobi Asma appearing, with a hearty smile on his face, like a child who just got good grades and showing off to his elders, raised the Chunin certificate in his hand, and said loudly: " I have become a Chunin!"

Sarutobi Asma looked at Shikamaru's seldom shown expression, was slightly taken aback, and also smiled happily: "That's great!"

"Go to the living room first!" Sarutobi Asma beckoned to Shikamaru, and when he waved his right hand, there was a dazzling black streak.

Shikamaru nodded with a smile, and didn't set his gaze on Asma Sarutobi's hand, but walked into the living room quickly, and sat down on the sofa without being polite, and put the Chunin certificate on the coffee table.

"I didn't expect you to become a Chunin too, you can be regarded as a captain!" Sarutobi Asma came to Shikamaru's side with a smile, picked up the Chunin certificate, looked over and over again, he also has this thing, look I don't know how many times, the content is almost memorized, but at this time it is still difficult to hide the excitement from the heart.

When Shikamaru heard Sarutobi Asma's words, he didn't say a word, just smiled shyly.

As far as the eye can see, the black leather finger cots on the right thumb, left little finger, and ring finger of Sarutobi Asuma are extremely conspicuous against the paper of the Chunin certificate.

"Thank you for your teaching, Teacher Asma!" Shikamaru looked at the happy Asma and said sincerely.
