Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 220 Six Indifference

Shikamaru took a sip of the still steaming tea, with a calm expression on his face, even after Nara Shikoku made the family request, there was still no disturbance, only a slight frown.

Just kidding, how could he agree to the request of the elders of the Nara clan?

Souls from another world are innately resistant to and somewhat disgusted with this family structure, not to mention that the opening of the course is not purely out of interest, but to increase Shikamaru's influence, and more importantly, he has such intentions for the Nara family. Be vigilant in manipulating his behavior.

Stupid people regard meaningless avoidance and forbearance as open-mindedness and the performance of the city, but they don't know that this kind of behavior is often just an unacceptable means, just like today's Shikamaru, if there is a chance to quietly He will not give up even if he wants to kill Shimura Danzo, it is just a helpless move to hold back now.

The Nara clan asked Shikamaru to suspend the course, which can be regarded as a temptation or an intervention for him. Faced with this attitude, not only will retreating not solve the problem, but it will intensify the elders of the Nara clan, and continue to demand Shikamaru with the righteousness of the clan. , restrict and control him.

Shikamaru has already got what he wanted in Konoha Village, and he will leave the village soon after becoming a jonin. The help and threats of the Nara clan are not important to him, even if he returns to Konoha Village in the future , and it will not be alone. As for the competition for that seat, it is not the Nara family who can help.

"If there are children of the right age in the clan, you can also send them to attend classes." Shikamaru said nonchalantly: "I will help take care of them."

Although he didn't expressly refuse, Shikamaru's words have already expressed his attitude - it is impossible to terminate the course, if you want to learn, you can send someone yourself.

"What do you want to do, Shikamaru?" Nara Shikaku heard nothing, just stared at Shikamaru, and asked.

Although he is the patriarch of the Nara clan, if he persuades Shikamaru, it is obvious that the clan still values ​​Shikamaru's potential and is unwilling to ask him with a cold and inhuman attitude. There is no way to stop Shikamaru's chosen path.

"I'm looking for my 'Tao'." Shikamaru raised his slender eyebrows: "It has become more and more clear, without it, I can't go further."

Shikamaru did not lie, his future path has been paved, and after the course starts, with his methodical explanation, his theory will also go through a sorting out and gradually become clearer, and after other students with ninja qualifications attend the class, He will face more and more profound questions and doubts, all of which require him to constantly think and improve his own system bit by bit. The truth is not discernible, and it is never a good choice to work behind closed doors. Find the shortcomings through others. Only by improving the place can we make progress, and even give Shikamaru inspiration.

After all, the path he is walking on now can be said to be groped out alone, without much experience from the predecessors to help him.Besides, Shikamaru's future goal is to become Hokage, and even go further, even if there is a danger of breaking up, I don't want anyone in the family to hold unrealistic illusions and intend to use "family righteousness" to control him.

"It seems that you have never thought about taking over the position of Patriarch!" Nara Shikoku glanced at Shikamaru, and said thoughtfully, "What do you want to do? Hokage?"

A knowing son is like a father—even if Shikamaru is not his son spiritually, but after living together for a long time, not many people understand Shikamaru's thoughts better than him.

Shikahisa Nara knows that Shikamaru, who seems humble and gentle, is much more proud and ambitious than his peers. A truly gentle and humble person cannot become an excellent ninja unless he has a greater ambition. Target.

With Shikamaru's voice in the clan, even if he is the eldest son of Shikahisa Nara, he is likely to take over the position of Patriarch in the future. Regardless of whether he is still a Chunin now, it is just that he was born at an untimely time. If in times of war, Based on his performance, he has already been promoted to Jonin in an exceptional way, and Nara Shikahisa doesn't think Shikamaru is worse than Hatake Kakashi.

It's just that Shikamaru's current attitude is obviously that he doesn't want to succeed the patriarch. The word "patriarch" has already clarified the obligations of this position. As the head of the family, he must naturally do his best to plan for the development and growth of the family. Shikamaru refuses to give in at this time. Conceding because of the interests of the Nara clan, in the future no matter what, they will not win the support of the clan.

Shikamaru smiled silently, as a default.Regarding his performance, Nara Shikahisa is not angry, after all, although he is the head of the Nara clan, he is also the father of Nara Shikamaru.

"You can do whatever you want, but neither your mother nor I can give you any help and support—that's what hurt you." Nara Shikahisa said softly.

Nara Shikahisa is the head of the family, and he must guarantee the interests of the clan. He can fulfill this position and represent the trust of the clan. If he uses power for personal gain to help Shikamaru, who is against the interests of the clan, it is tantamount to betrayal, which is much more serious than Shikamaru's behavior.

In contrast, Shikamaru never refused the children of the tribe to study with him. Although he may be condemned and slandered to some extent, it will not cause too much trouble.

"I understand." Shikamaru lowered his head and said respectfully.He can disapprove of the family's attitude, because from the beginning to the end, he and the family are in an interest relationship, and blood is really nothing in the eyes of a traverser.

But Nara Shikahisa and Nara Yoshino are different. They have been living together for many years, caring and taking care of them all the time. Shikamaru can't ignore them. What's more, the two of them have contributed a lot to Shikamaru, but they have never asked for it. He can't ignore them. feelings and situation.

Even so, it is impossible for Shikamaru to back down. Just like Nara Shikahisa's view, Shikamaru's modest attitude is only a superficial phenomenon, and he has always been brave and diligent in his pursuit of ninja.

…………

The matter between Shikamaru and the clan has come to an end, but because of this, the relationship between him and the clan has become more or less cold, Nara Shikahisa can't speak well of him, and even has to be tougher than other clansmen.

There are also clan members who used to be jealous of Shikamaru's prestige, jumped out and slandered Shikamaru with this incident, and even demanded that Shikamaru be removed from the family - it is impossible for Shikamaru to make everyone like him. It's fine if this kind of narrow-minded villain can't breathe, and it's inevitable that he will fall into trouble at this time.

Of course, not to mention Nara Shikahisa's feelings, the other elders will not be as stupid as the proposer. The cold treatment is already extreme. Unless Shikamaru is going to kill Shikamaru, otherwise with his potential, I don't know where he will go. He is also a student of Tsunade, and doing too much is tantamount to forcing Shikamaru in the opposite direction.

Now the attitude of the Nara clan is more like a warning, and Shikamaru even didn't hide what he said about letting the clan's children go to attend classes, but the clan's attitude towards this is out of their consideration.

"Without the Nara family, what is he now? He still teaches students?" Nara Antlers said to his wife disdainfully: "It seems that a series of honors during this period of time have gone to his head. Did he really think that Are you an omnipotent genius?"

In all fairness, Nara Antler is not jealous or disgusted with Nara Shikamaru, he originally admired Shikamaru, but when Nara Shikamaru showed his attitude, it made him feel angry and disappointed instead.

After becoming a Chunin, he was assigned to the Interrogation Department instead of a combat unit, which has already surprised those who were optimistic about Shikamaru, and some people even gloat about Shikamaru’s bad words. This can still be used when he was just promoted to Chunin, and needs to be accumulated The argument of experience is refuted, but now he is just a Chunin, and he is like a teacher teaching classes, no wonder he is ridiculed and despised.

…………

Not only the members of the Nara clan watched Shikamaru's behavior coldly, but this kind of news could not be concealed from ordinary villagers or even other ninjas.

People who don't understand Shikamaru's thinking feel that he is a bit overconfident. Does he think that his teaching level is much better than that of more mature ninja schools?As for experience and comprehension, how much can Shikamaru become a Chunin?

Knowing that Shikamaru was treated coldly by the Nara clan, there were fewer students who came to his home to attend classes before. I don't know if their parents stopped them, or they really thought Shikamaru's courses were boring.

If possible, Shikamaru wouldn't mind killing all those people who spoke sarcasm behind their backs, so as not to disturb others around him. Knowledge is impossible, so he simply ignored it. Anyway, he would gloat over these people's misfortune soon. Give anyone a loud slap in the face and make them jump around now.

Shikamaru thought about it and continued to teach.

This is the third time that the class has started. His habit has always been to explain the knowledge of the ninja school to the students in the morning, and in the afternoon to ask and answer questions, and to explain his ideas or understanding.

It is already afternoon, and Shikamaru is explaining in a gentle tone to the students listening quietly in the living room.

"Chakra is not an inseparable whole. Chakra is formed by the combination of the two energies of spirit and body, but these two energies are not as simple as the materials that make up Chakra." Shikamaru seemed to understand. Students who understand, smiled slightly, spread out the palm of their right hand, and a thin layer of chakra showed through the skin, emitting a light blue light, attracting the attention of the students: "Control the chakra, so that this energy Changes and distortions are the spiritual energy leading..."

Shikamaru was about to continue explaining, but suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"I'm going to open the door!" Konohamaru called out sensiblely, got up and ran to the door with small steps.

And Shikamaru looked at the time thoughtfully, guessing about who came.

You could vaguely hear Konoha Maru's questions and greetings. After a while, a young man with long black hair, a handsome face and a stern temperament walked into the living room behind Konoha Maru. In his eyes, he randomly found an empty seat and sat down, smiled at Shikamaru and then remained silent, assuming a posture of listening.

The forehead guard on the forehead of the black-haired boy attracted the attention of other students, and some knowledgeable students also knew that the strange-looking pair of eyes of the other party came from the famous family of Muye Village——the Rixiang clan.

Shikamaru glanced at Ri Xiangningji slightly calmly, and then continued to lecture, as if he didn't care about his arrival, until the end of the class, after the students including Ri Xiangningji left, The two didn't have much communication.

It's just that when this incident spread through the mouths of the students who returned home, many people were shocked and unbelievable.

A well-known genius of the Rixiang clan, taking lectures under Shikamaru Nara?
