Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 230 Argument

Hatake Kakashi's task has been arranged, and Shikamaru and Shizune don't need to be so troublesome. The written test requires the examiner to have an extremely clever ability to manipulate others' psychology, and use the occasion and rules to create a sense of oppression for the examinee, and test these ninjas The psychological quality, because it is just a simple written test, without fighting and killing, it is more difficult. Most of the previous examiners are ninjas from the torture and interrogation department, probably because they are better at deceiving people.

Shikamaru naturally took care of this part, and Kato Shizune, who is a medical ninja, was in charge of the third match.

Several people discussed for a while, Shikamaru and Kakashi's two exams need to make their own rules, they can't be the same as the previous year's exam, they need to think a little bit, after making an appointment for the next time to meet and discuss, the three of them They each dispersed.

When Shikamaru arrived at home, he already had the general idea of ​​the exam on the way, but in a blink of an eye, he forgot these things, went into the study, and continued to practice the sealing style of Flying Thunder God Art.

Compared to learning the "Flying Thunder God Art" as soon as possible, serving as an examiner for the Chunin Exam is just a trivial matter for Shikamaru. It is impossible for him to let go of all the work at hand for this matter, which also includes The task of interrogating the interrogation department and the dark department.

I thought it would be easy to be an examiner, but I was completely wrong. The Konoha villagers still remember the aggressive war last year, especially the Konoha ninjas. Many of their partners and comrades were killed and injured, which is unforgettable.

As a combat force, the Anbu has formulated detailed combat and defense plans, and has conducted many rehearsals at the training base. They must always prepare for battle, and Shikamaru is no exception. If a full-scale war breaks out like last year, the Interrogation Department will not be able to ignore it. What's more, he is a member of Anbu.

Shikamaru, who has three jobs, is far busier than Kakashi Hatake and Shizune Kato.

For the next period of time, Shikamaru hardly had any time to rest. Not to mention the unshakable training every morning, after cleaning up the body after the end, he had to go to the torture and interrogation department to report, and occasionally catch up with the meeting and hold the briefing of the Zhongnin Exam After notifying the Anbu and other front-line combat departments, it has been gradually communicated to other departments, and the Torture and Interrogation Department has to make various countermeasures.

After the work of the torture and interrogation department is over, Shikamaru has to go to Anbu to report non-stop. Fortunately, he is an examiner, and some work is much less.

After the Anbu's mission was over, Shikamaru had to write the content of the exam he was in charge of, submit the report to book manpower in advance, and make arrangements. During this period, he successively selected eleven Zhongnin from the Torture and Interrogation Department as assistants. A leader in ninja with rich experience.

When Shikamaru has finished all this work, the day is over and the sky is getting dark, he still has to concentrate on learning the "Flying Thunder God Art". If he is not a ninja, this body is also very young, and Shikamaru's body may not be It can support him to maintain enough energy to complete various tasks.

The weekly lectures Shikamaru did not miss, and as Shikamaru's understanding of the "Flying Thunder God Technique" gradually deepened, some parents of students who paid attention to Shikamaru's lectures found that he occasionally mentioned the relationship between energy and space. role relationship.

In general, Shikamaru's life is still busy and "full", and in this environment, he also began to enjoy the atmosphere of sitting in the living room and resting after Yamanaka Ino helped him clean up the house after each lecture .

Compared with the tense work, it seems relaxed and comfortable, but this kind of thought was driven out of Shikamaru's mind in a blink of an eye-now is not the time to enjoy a peaceful life.

This kind of life lasted for nearly two months. During this period, some preparations for the Chunin exam have been done. Shikamaru, Hatake Kakashi, and Kato Shizune also agreed on the exam content, arranged manpower and venue, The hands were also approved, which made Shikamaru feel a little more relaxed.

Tsunade did not hide from the cadres of various departments that she hoped that Konoha Village would rely on this Zhongnin exam to restore its reputation. She also gave the green light for this exam in her usual work. Most of the ninjas and cadres in the village I also support this, because last year's Chunin exam was too humiliating.

After experiencing many wars throughout the ninja world, this is the first time that Konoha Village has been invaded by the enemy on a large scale. The third Hokage is still killed in the village. This sense of shame, as long as there is a sense of belonging to Konoha Village The ninjas are hard to let go.

Sometimes Shikamaru at work even feels that this exam is like a large-scale competitive sports meeting in his previous life, but as the organizer, Konoha Village is more confident, and will not learn from Shikamaru’s previous life. Some countries like to do small tricks .

At the same time, many ninjas can also foresee that with the advent of Chunin exams, many spectators from other places will come to Konoha Village to watch the competition, and the economy of the village will also usher in a peak.

Not to mention these Konoha ninjas who are gearing up for a revenge. Contrary to these people, there is another way that Konoha ninjas can't understand Tsunade-compared to the overall interests of Konoha Village, they are more Mind your own business.

The three elders headed by Shimura Danzo have clearly opposed Konoha's plan to hold the Chunin exam again from the very beginning.

At this time, the tense atmosphere in the office also came because of this. Tsunade used the attitude of the ninja of Konoha Village when holding this exam to unite people's hearts. He was worried by three old people with their own plans, so he brought up the old matter again.

"Konoha Village has only experienced the war not long ago, and needs to recuperate. Holding the Chunin Exam requires a large amount of financial expenses and consumes manpower, which is not conducive to the current situation." He, who pretends to be Pai, actually said these words, somewhat lacking in confidence.

<Although Mitomonyan has some selfish thoughts, he is unwilling to do something that is too harmful to the interests of Konoha Village. Now if he is forced to suspend the holding of the zhongnin exam, the previous efforts will be wasted, Konoha The village will also become a joke in the ninja world.

Shimura Danzo is not as vacillating as the two of them. He is very clear that the Konoha Village that is not under his control is just a foreign object. As long as he has the right, even if the current Konoha Village is moved to the ground, he can create it himself. The second Konoha, at that time, he will be the well-deserved leader of Ninja Village, and he will never say anything else, no one can compete with him for power, and he can reform Konoha Village according to his own ideas.

Shimura Danzo's way of tolerance is "serving oneself", thinking that he himself is the destiny, so he can unceremoniously let others sacrifice, while he enjoys the rewards and "changes the world".

"As I said, Konoha Village needs a victory to wash away the humiliation and revive morale. Since war cannot be waged, it needs to rely on competition to achieve the goal." Tsunade put his hands on the table and said calmly: "Besides The previous Chunin exams will drive the village's economy, so there is no need to worry about financial losses in the village."

"You were not present in the war of aggression that occurred in the last Chunin exam," Shimura Danzo said bluntly: "It is not clear how much damage this war has done to Konoha Village."

Tsunade heard the other party's words, and secretly accused himself of some things before he served as Hokage. 'Healthy', didn't take part in any work, didn't fight during the war, I don't think you know much more about that war of aggression than I do!"

"The duty of an elder's advisor is not to fight on the front line. You should be clear, Tsunade." After all, Mitomonyan is now on the same front as Shimura Danzo, and Tsunade's accusation also faintly confuses him, who is also an elder, with the transfer. Sleeping Xiaochun included the two of them, and retorted in a deep voice.

<, Mitomenyan is not used to her series of actions - or is hostile - she is also not ashamed of the three old people who like to rely on the old and sell the old, for personal self-interest, using various banners of status and identity to defy Her actions, being dubbed the "princess" nickname, it is not easy for her to swallow her anger until now. Today, she simply decided to tear off the mask of hypocrisy and speak out.

"The Zhongnin Examination has its own meaning for many years. As a 'consultant', you naturally know what the financial source of a ninja village is." Tsunade bit the word 'consultant' very hard, obviously reminding the identities of the three: "The Chunin exam is a publicity show. If you want to attract the client's attention and accept more tasks, you need to show your strength in the exam."

"Let me ask you, if you don't hold this Chunin exam, promote Konoha, and increase the influence of the village again, how will you recuperate!? Where does the finance come from? There are not enough clients, how to choose suitable tasks to train ninjas!?" Tsunade asked sharply.

"Sand Hidden Village has been proposing to hold the Zhongnin Exam in their village for the past few years. Maybe they can give them the identity of the host, which will further weaken their finances. As for Konoha's financial problems, they can get the name Support." Shimura Danzo seemed not to care about Tsunade's aggressive attitude, and suggested.

"Are you joking? Or are you simply a spy from Hidden Sand Village!?" Tsunade sarcastically said. <He and Mitomon Yan both interrupted her sternly, Tsunade's words were really suspected of being provocative, even though the third Hokage was alive, he had never talked to the three of them like this, Tsunade, a junior! ?

"Among the allied countries, only Konoha Village and Hidden Sand Village have the qualifications and status to hold Chunin exams. Why do they always propose that the Chunin Exams be held in Hidden Sand Village? Although Ebizo has retired, the advisor to Hidden Sand who is now in power is not stupid! Being the organizer of the Chunin Exam is a symbol of influence and strength! Konoha Village will not easily hand over to others! Adviser Danzo, please don’t make this suggestion again in the future!” Tsunade waved his hand, as if to drive away A fly: "As for asking daimyo for help - since my grandfather founded Konoha, Konoha has never been a vassal of daimyo, they have never fully accepted the control of daimyo, and handed over their lifeblood to each other, and I will not!"

"If you insist on suspending the Zhongnin Exam, then we might as well hold a secret ballot among the ninjas in the village to see the attitude of other ninjas!" Tsunade looked at the three people whose faces changed slightly, and continued Asked, "How about my proposal?"
