Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 230 Space

Interrogation without a clear purpose is even more difficult. Shikamaru doesn't know what information he should get, and he can't show this in front of the prisoner—unless he is preparing for reverse torture, he cannot lose the initiative in the torture.

Fortunately, the new technique explored by Shikamaru has the ability to affect other people's emotions, and he doesn't mind showing this under the monitor. After constantly provoking the prisoner's emotions, Shikamaru has been looking for topics about the other party , and constantly analyze the information contained in it.

The most frightening thing about interrogating a prisoner is not that the prisoner falls into extreme emotions, but that the other party always maintains sufficient reason and calmness. People are more likely to make mistakes when they are in extreme emotions. From this point of view, Shikamaru’s new technique is indeed a sharp weapon for torture and interrogation .

Although it took some time, Shikamaru managed to pry open the prisoner's mouth in the end, not only let him spit out a lot of information, but also turned him against him and agreed to be a double agent - the latter is much simpler, since he has already become a traitor , as long as Muye Village can arrange a better future for him, there will be no more psychological burden.

The interrogation was relatively satisfactory, and Shikamaru also believed that several experienced torture experts headed by Morino Ibiki could notice the new techniques he displayed during the torture. If there were no accidents, within three days, he should be promoted smoothly. I endured it for the special.

…………

As Shikamaru imagined, several invigilators including Morino Ihiki who assessed him gave him a good score for his performance in the exam.

It's just that when Tsunade faced this examination paper, he seemed somewhat hesitant.

Shikamaru, who specialized in torture and interrogation and was promoted to a special jonin, is undoubtedly qualified to become the captain of the torture and interrogation department, but he also has another identity as Anbu. The work of the torture and interrogation department was originally just a cover-up. The captain is not as inconspicuous as an intelligence officer, if it affects Shikamaru's work in Anbe, it will be a bit of a waste of time.

After all, as the combat unit directly under Hokage, Anbu is far more important than the torture and interrogation department. Tsunade has completely controlled the medical department, and now he is planning to increase his control over Anbu. As his disciple, Shikamaru has shown outstanding performance Undoubtedly, her talent can help her achieve her goal faster.

It's just impossible to suppress it. Could it be that Tsunade can make a special ninja who is good at torture and interrogation work as a handyman?This is also too deliberate.

Tsunade caressed his forehead, stretched out his index finger and tapped on the table, reluctantly thought of a solution that was not a solution, and decided to assign Shikamaru a famous but not authorized post of chief of the torture and interrogation team. After all, the torture and interrogation department is not a combat department, and personnel replacement The handover is not intensive, it is already fully staffed, and there are not so many interrogations of prisoners.

Shikamaru was not aware of Tsunade's embarrassing job arrangement after being promoted to Special Jonin, but after carefully looking at the certificate, he hung it on the wall of the study, placed side by side with the Chunin certificate.

Compared with the past, there were members of the tribe helping to promote it. The news of Shikamaru becoming a special jounin this time is far less than before. It’s just that after the new year, Shikamaru is only 13 years old, and he can reach this age at this age in peacetime. One step was not easy, and some ninjas who had more or less heard the wind couldn't help but look sideways—this had already achieved Shikamaru's goal.

With the help of the unprecedented scale of the Chunin Exam, a series of propaganda bombings were carried out on the villagers of Konoha Village. Shikamaru's reputation as a genius has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he doesn't need to work hard to do similar things.

Compared to promoting himself, Shikamaru is now more willing to focus on how to entertain Genma Shiranui-the other party has something he really wants.

…………

The title of "Yellow Flash" comes from the superb space-time ninjutsu of the fourth generation of Hokage Namikaze Minato. It moves freely on the battlefield like ghosts and gods. It is really a nightmare for the enemy.

As the stunt that the Fourth Hokage is famous for, Shikamaru, who is familiar with the original work, is obviously deceiving himself if he says that he has not coveted it in the past, but he understood his ability in the early years.

But now, Shikamaru, who has been contemplating "black magic" at home recently, has a faint grasp of the veins of spiritual energy. When the human spirit gradually breaks free from the shackles of the human body, the ability revealed is enough to make people jaw-dropping. , the perception ability of spiritual energy is more direct than physical senses, and to some extent it is also more "clear". With the perception ability formed by energy, Shikamaru can more easily discover the existence of space and dimensions - he is deeply fascinated by this.

But it is not so easy to travel freely in space and create a ninjutsu with the ability to move instantly. Shikamaru only has two ideas.

One is to leave two coordinates in the three-dimensional space where it is located, and then distort the space with powerful energy, so that the two points almost overlap, and Shikamaru himself passes through it to complete the purpose of teleportation.

Or break the barrier of time, explore and control the fourth dimension—time outside the three dimensions formed by length, width, and height, and form the ability to move arbitrarily in an "instant" by manipulating the passage of time.

The latter is too difficult, and Shikamaru didn't consider it at all in a short time, but the requirement of the former to distort the space and leave coordinates also made Shikamaru rack his brains.

He tried to store spiritual energy in "shadow shows", but even if the purified spiritual energy could resonate with him more than before and generate a stronger attraction, it was still far from what he needed, and even more so. Not to mention that he still needs the powerful energy needed to distort space-this really makes Shikamaru, who has always been short in chakra, a little daunting.

Shikamaru must understand the ninjutsu and knowledge left by the predecessor of the Fourth Hokage, who is proficient in time and space ninjutsu and teleportation ability, otherwise he will try to go to Yunyin Village to kidnap the ninjutsu who has Secretary Raikage who has the ability to teleport objects to other places—to be honest, Shikamaru thinks this matter is no less difficult than directly looking for the masked boy Uchiha Obito, and then ask questions face to face.

Shiranui Genma, Nazarui and others once served as the guards of the Fourth Hokage, and the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato also generously taught them his famous stunts, although they have been fighting for many years because of Chakra and lack of ability. For this reason, the prestige of "yellow flash" cannot be reproduced, and it can only be used when working together, but these are not too important to Shikamaru, or this situation is more beneficial to him.

If Shiranui Genma had achieved such a great reputation in the ninja world with this ninjutsu, Shikamaru simply would not have hoped that he would exchange this S-level ninjutsu with him.

Fortunately, this is not the case.

Shiranui Genma was not only the examiner of the last match of the Chunin Exam, but also worked side by side with Shikamaru in the Konoha collapse battle. More importantly, he was also one of Shikamaru's recommenders for promotion to Chunin. Shikamaru and Although he is not as close as Sarutobi Asma, he still has a certain friendship.

So when Shikamaru invited Shiranui Genma to dinner, Yukai readily agreed.

"Are you still giving lectures recently?" After Shiranui Genma took his seat first, he spoke to Shikamaru and said, "How is the situation?"

"It's okay, looking at those young students, I can almost see the prosperous Konoha Village in the future." Shikamaru said with a smile, and continued as if he didn't care: "But I've been busy with promotion recently I’m still preparing to study new techniques, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to give them lectures during this time.”

"Really?" Shiranui Genma looked at Shikamaru's faintly childish face, and sighed a little complicatedly. If he didn't know the real age of the boy in front of him, his body that hadn't matured would also show this, Shiranui Genma couldn't be sure that Shikamaru was only a 13-year-old kid.

Shiranui Genma thought of Hatake Kakashi in his youth, and it is estimated that the elders also looked at him who grew up rapidly.

"I haven't congratulated you yet on becoming a special jounin... You said you've been researching new techniques recently?" Although he recalled the figure of a certain boy in his heart, Genma Shiranui didn't lose his mind, and continued chatting with Shikamaru, his eyes falling On the black pattern like the vertical eye in the middle of Shikamaru's forehead, he felt a little familiar. Thinking of his identity as Tsunade's disciple, he continued to ask: "Is it the brilliant medical ninjutsu that I just learned from Hokage-sama?" ?”

As soon as the words were blurted out, I didn’t know that Huo Genma felt something was wrong. Ninjutsu is a ninja’s sharp weapon and one of the most precious wealth. Knowing the enemy’s skillful ninjutsu is not different from exposing the shortcomings, unless they trust each other very much. Otherwise, even colleagues would rarely inquire about each other's ninjutsu information.

"If it's not convenient to say it, forget it." Shiranui Xuanma thought of this, waved his hand and said.

"It's okay." Unexpectedly by Shiranui Genma, Shikamaru did not avoid his previous question, the topic chosen by the other party was exactly what he wanted.

"Recent lectures, plus usual thinking, I have gained a little from Chakra." Shikamaru said, spreading out his right palm, a light blue chakra light ball suddenly emerged from it, and reflected in the eyes of Shiranui Genma, which is familiar The ninjutsu couldn't help but make him a little distracted, but he quickly recovered and continued to listen to Shikamaru's explanation: "I heard that Jiraiya-sama said that the spiral pill invented by the Fourth Hokage is actually an incomplete ninjutsu. Chakra It is missing the link of changing nature, which is also one of my recent research directions."

"I'm trying to change the nature of the chakra that has completed the shape change, and fuse it with the secret chakra of my family." Following Shikamaru's explanation, the center of the light blue light ball in his hand suddenly became a little pitch black. The energy of ink appeared and gradually spread to the surroundings. In the blink of an eye, the light blue ball of light was replaced by a black ball that seemed to swallow all the light.

"Secret Chakra?" Shiranui Genma stared at the black energy ball in Shikamaru's right hand that had completed the dual transformation of Chakra's nature and form, and muttered to himself.

The biggest difference between the secret chakra and the blood succession limit is that even ordinary people can master the former as long as they understand the detailed knowledge and skills after learning. It is a kind of knowledge similar to "technology", which is called Each ninja clan keeps their secrets very well, such as the Nara clan, they have a special method to train and use the "yin" chakra, and use this chakra to use secret ninjutsu, even if it is sharingan , If you don't understand the key points, you can't learn it.

As for the boundary of blood inheritance, it is a genetic ability that is difficult to take away, enough to be passed down from generation to generation. Unless it is a plundering behavior such as eye-gouging, otherwise even if you teach outsiders hand in hand, you can't touch the fur without the corresponding blood.

It's just that it's not easy to learn the secret chakra, and Shiranui Genma is also aware of this, knowing that the ninjutsu Shikamaru uses at this time is more difficult than simply completing the chakra's xing nature change.
