Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 40 Gift

Overlooked from a high altitude, the overall structure of Konoha Ninja Village forms a fan shape, with the tall and majestic Hokage heads backed by it, centered on the Hokage Building, surrounded by other buildings, and spread out slowly.

The wind in the morning was a little damp and cold, but many shops in the village were already open for business. Some ninjas and villagers who had just finished their tasks or work and endured a lot of hard work also appeared on the street one after another.

On the roof of the Hokage Building, a slightly thin old man wearing a white cloak and a white hat with the word "fire" written on the front of his head was standing by the railing, silently looking at the full-bodied The vibrant Konoha Village.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi brought the pipe to his mouth, took a puff, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke. He smiled silently, his eyes were soft, as if he was looking at his own child.

"Are you coming!" Hiruzaru Sarutobi suddenly said without turning his head, and then slowly turned around. At some point, one had a beard and a half-burned cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth, looking a bit decadent The middle-aged ninja has appeared behind Hiruza Sarutobi.

"Father!" Sarutobi Asma yawned and said absent-mindedly: "You called me here so early, what's the matter?"

"You already know the village's punishment for the tenth class!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said after pondering for a moment.

Asma Sarutobi looked suspiciously at the old man on the opposite side. This order was signed by the other party himself as Hokage. It is indeed a bit weird to say such words at this time.

However, although Hiruzaru Sarutobi is old, Asma will not think that the other party has reached the point of being stupid, so she said: "Shikamaru's beheading sword has been handed over to the village, why do you still ask this question now?" ?”

Hiruzaru Sarutobi heard this, smiled, and suddenly reached out his hand to take out from his bosom, took out a large wooden box, and threw it to Asma.

The box drew a graceful arc in the air, and landed accurately in Asma's hands.

"This is..." Asma Sarutobi weighed the box, the items inside were not light, and he didn't open it, but asked Hiruza Sarutobi suspiciously.

"The system of Konoha Village cannot be broken because of a few people. Your tenth squad violated the ninja discipline in the country of Nami, and you should be punished." Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked at the embarrassing face when he heard this. Sima continued to speak calmly: "But personally...."

"As a ninja, Shikamaru can help you defeat Momochi Zabuza, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. As his teacher, you should reward him!" After pointing the pipe at the box in Sarutobi Asma's hand , Sarutobi Hiruzen continued: "I heard you before, that kid Shikamaru wants a piece of chakra metal to make a weapon. This box contains chakra metal. You can give this thing to him in your own name. !"

"If you make mistakes, you must correct them, and if you have meritorious service, you must be rewarded. This is a qualified superior." When the third Hokage said this, he suddenly sighed and said: "I hope you can tell Shikamaru what I said above. He is still young. Small, I am worried that he is not angry and may be biased against the higher-ups."

"Shikamaru is very sensible, probably not." Asma shook his head and said.

"That's the best." Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded, believed Asma's words, and didn't ask too much: "By the way, if you have time, go to Konoha Maru and guide him more. Practice, you are his uncle!"

The essence of medical ninjutsu is actually to use the "yang" in chakra, which is physical energy.

In a studio of the Konoha Medical Department, Gen Chiba, who was wearing a pure white coat, was teaching Shikamaru who was also wearing a white coat beside him.

"When it comes to exercising chakra control skills, I think there is no better way than learning and using medical ninjutsu!" Genuine Chiba pushed his glasses and explained to Shikamaru: "And medical ninjutsu, you can also do it in the future use."

"The 'Yin' and 'Yang' in Chakra are like two magnets that attract each other." Chiba Gen thought for a while, and made such a metaphor: "Medical ninjutsu is one of them." Yang' energy, to learn Medical Ninjutsu, you need to find a way to separate the two magnets."

"Why separate?" Shikamaru frowned and asked, "Is it because it will consume more chakra?"

"You're right. Everyone's Chakra is actually different. Many ninjas of the perception system can also recognize people with their Chakra. The physical energy is actually similar to everyone. It all comes from the 130 trillion human body. The energy extracted bit by bit from the cells, but everyone's thoughts are different, the spiritual energy is extracted from the will of the ninja, which is deeply imprinted with the philosophy and thoughts of a ninja." Chiba Yuan He nodded, and then explained: "If you don't separate the physical energy from the spiritual energy, the chakra will be different from the subject's physique, and you will be faintly repelled, and medical ninjutsu will hardly work."

"The 'yang' magnet that will be taken down is attracted to the 'yin' of the subject." Hearing this, Shikamaru nodded thoughtfully: "If you don't talk about your own 'yin' When sex magnets are separated, they will repel each other!"

"You're right!" Chiba Gen looked at Shikamaru in surprise, and then explained: "But these two magnets cannot be completely separated!"

"To control chakra, you must rely on spiritual energy, and the same is true for mobilizing and separating physical energy. Moreover," Genuine Chiba frowned while thinking, while continuing to explain to Shikamaru: "After all, the human spirit cannot be separated from the physical body. Energy, in essence, is actually intertwined."

"I am afraid that only Sage of the Six Paths can truly separate the 'Yin' and 'Yang' in Chakra..." Shikamaru added Chiba Gen's words in his heart: "Maybe there are his descendants! "

The secret technique of the Nara family also utilizes the "yin" attribute in the chakra. Take the shadow imitation technique as an example. When using it, the chakra is emitted from the feet under the disguise of a shadow. If you want to control the enemy, you also need to connect To reach the opponent's feet, it is not enough to just connect to the opponent's shadow. If the opponent is standing at a high place, the shadow imitation technique will be connected to the projection below, and it will also have no effect (Note 1). As for the subsequent shadow hanging technique And the shadow seam technique is only to complete the qualitative change on this basis, not to completely deprive the spiritual energy from the chakra.

--------

Note 1: In the original book, Shikamaru and Tayuya confront each other. To use the secret technique, you need to control the shadow to "climb the tree", and you can't successfully perform it until Tayuya's feet.
