Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 31 Kunai

Asma looked at Shikamaru, and after pondering for a moment, her slightly hesitant face finally became firm, as if she had made up her mind.

"Shikamaru," Asma said slowly, "If Momochi doesn't kill you, you will bring it back home when you return to Konoha!"

"This...," Shikamaru heard this, looked up at Asma in surprise, frowned, and said in a hesitant tone, "Is it possible?" The second time did not play a big role in the battle with Zaibuzhan, but the tenth squad as a whole, it is not based on this that it can decide who completely belongs to the beheading sword. What's more, it is Asma who contributes the most, not the deer. Maru, not suffering from few but suffering from unevenness, is also a genocide, if only Shikamaru is given the beheading sword, it is difficult to guarantee that Ino and Choji will not feel strange.

"I know what you're concerned about." Asma patted Shikamaru's shoulder and smiled slightly: "I'll go and explain to you about Choji and Ino, they are your good friends and will understand." If Asma, who is the guide of Jonin, comes forward to help explain, it should be able to eliminate the grudges in the hearts of the two. After all, even Asma, who has contributed the most, has voluntarily given up. If there is still injustice and jealousy, it can only be said to be friendship. Not anymore.

"The beheading sword, as one of the seven famous knives of Kirigakure village in the country of water, also has a lot of weight in the hearts of Kirigakure ninjas." Asma took out a cigarette from the ninja bag and lit it, and took a deep breath. Facing Shikamaru, he said: "This knife is in the hands of Konoha Ninja, which is of great significance. Whether it is to spread the reputation of Konoha Ninja Village, or to return Kirigakure Ninja Village to show friendship, it can play a role."

"You can't keep this knife, you must hand it in." Asma noticed Shikamaru's expression, seeing that he didn't have any strange emotions on his face when he heard this, and still maintained a calm attitude, she couldn't help nodding secretly in her heart , said: "However, the village will definitely compensate you. The secret technique you used with 'Feiyan' in the battle with Zabuzhan must rely on the Chakra metal that can store Chakra. This thing It is very rare, and then you can ask the higher-ups for a piece of chakra metal to make weapons."

Shikamaru's heart skipped a beat, this is the benefit of having a master's guidance, especially when Asma is still Shikamaru's superior, not only to give advice on practice, but also to take care of and teach as much as possible in many things. Under the circumstances, Nara Shikahisa is also a jounin, but after all, he is not Shikamaru's superior, and he can help in daily practice, but it is difficult to take care of him at work.

"During the period before the end of the mission, you should think about your strengths and fighting style." Asma looked at Shikamaru and said, "However, to recognize your own fighting style requires a lot of fighting experience , if you have anything unclear, just come and fight with me."

Shikamaru nodded earnestly upon hearing this.

In the next few days, apart from daily practice, Shikamaru spent the rest of his time thinking quietly, summing up the ninjutsu and body skills he has mastered so far, or imagining an imaginary enemy in his mind, and making gestures alone some.

A week later, Shikamaru asked Dazner to help him find a batting board for playing cricket, and planned to use this long and wide wooden board as a template, regardless of rectification during thinking and induction.

"Fighting head-on, although I have a powerful Helix Pill, there are few ninjutsu that can compete with it, but the number is limited after all, and the most important thing is that I don't have Sharingan. Unless I have an absolute speed advantage, the enemy can naturally dodge " Shikamaru sat cross-legged in a forest, looking down at the bat on his lap, with a thoughtful look on his face: "I have a secret technique to use at a medium distance, so This weapon mainly focuses on close-range physical combat and long-range attacks."

"Although the secret technique of the Nara clan is suitable for medium distances, when used in the front, the casting speed is too slow, and the movements are obvious. As long as you are not inexperienced and a little vigilant, you can guard against it." Shikamaru thought of this, Standing up suddenly, grabbing the batting bat, jumping and moving in the forest, and finally hiding in a bush: "The secret technique must be used unexpectedly, so that it is easy to successfully perform the secret technique-the lurking skill is very important!"

Shikamaru stood up from the grass, picked up the bat and looked at it carefully, and muttered to himself: "It's too big, it's not convenient to carry!"

…………

"For long-distance attacks, only the 'Shadow Mimic Shuriken' needs to be used in conjunction with weapons," said Shikamaru, who was leaning against a tree in this forest, and the batting board had been transformed beyond recognition by him. Cut into half a meter in length, the shape looks like an enlarged Kunai: "This ninjutsu needs to be combined with throwing, and the weapon must be able to be used as a flying prop."

The ring-shaped Shikamaru with no end to suffering is retained. It can be wrapped with a steel wire and can be retracted after throwing. After learning the shadow seam in the future, the shadow seam can also be used for a second throw.

In fact, Kunai's shape is not conducive to close combat, but this will need to be gradually summarized and sorted out by Shikamaru and Asma after a period of time to improve.

What can be confirmed at present is that this weapon should be suitable for throwing and easy to carry so as to facilitate lurking. The only difference is that it needs to cooperate with physical skills in close combat.

The next day, Shikamaru found Asma and said bluntly that he wanted to practice hand-to-hand with him, so as to realize his request. After Asma readily agreed, he took all kinds of wooden ninja tools that Shikamaru had prepared, Came to the grove near Dazna's house.

"Are you ready!" Asma picked up a wooden knife and said to Shikamaru, seeing that he nodded, she suddenly stepped forward to chop.

The purpose of the communication between the two is to constantly adjust Shikamaru's fighting style and experience the experience, so Asma controls his own power, otherwise he will use all his strength, Shikamaru will have no room to fight back.

"Snapped!"

Shikamaru held the wooden kunai upside down, clinging to the forearm, playing the role of protection, put it on the shelf to block Asma's attack, and then raised his arm and swung it down, trying to push Asma's wooden knife in the opposite direction. Unexpectedly, Asma Ma took advantage of the situation and turned back, chopping Shikamaru's finger. As a last resort, Shikamaru had to take a step back and gave up his behavior.

"I still need a sword, but the length can be kept the same as the forearm." Shikamaru made a note of this, crossed the forearm, made a gesture, and took the initiative to attack Asma.
