Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 42 Enemy

(I saw some book friends asking if they would join VIP. In fact, at a certain point, I promised old book friends that I would not enter v—although I didn’t know that Zongheng’s colleagues could enter VIP—— But I still keep my word. I contacted the editor and asked me if I could buy out this score. I found out that fan works are not allowed, but that’s fine. I won’t put it on the shelves as a VIP. I still don’t want to do things that break my promise and get fat. A full attendance is enough, I simply have a job, I can’t say that I’m not short of money, but I can’t starve to death... However, if you have the conditions, if you want to, after a while, after signing the book, you can give a lot of rewards , although not as large as vip subscriptions, but the share seems to be much more than vip subscriptions!)

"Huh...," Shikamaru let out a long breath, and raised his hand to wipe the thin layer of sweat from his forehead.

There is rarely a saying that one move is popular all over the world in pure body art. It is very important to grasp and practice routines. Shikamaru has newly acquired "Kingxiu". Sarutobi and Asuma competed in physical skills, hoping that through a lot of actual combat experience, they could understand every attack and the next change after the opponent resisted and dodged.

Shikamaru would fight against Choji and Ino from time to time. The members of the Akimichi clan are extremely powerful, and they are used to catching and beating in physical skills. With Choji's current strength, if Shikamaru is caught by him, if he doesn't fight back as soon as possible to make him let go , and it is difficult to escape the fate of being beaten, but his speed and agility are weak points. Although he has strong resistance to blows, Shikamaru holds "Kagexiu", which can completely make up for this.

In contrast, Ino's physical skills are much worse, and he is not even Choji's opponent. However, the secret arts of the Yamanaka clan tend to be perceptual, and Ino is more about practicing chakra control skills. walking.

Sitting on the grass, Shikamaru was thinking about the gains and losses from his previous fight with Sarutobi Asma, and at the same time took out a piece of deerskin from the ninja tool bag, and carefully wiped the "Kagehide" he had just used.

This weapon was created by himself. It is very easy to use with his physical style and secret technique. Shikamaru really can't put it down.

A sharp cry came from the air, and Asma Sarutobi, who was puffing smoke rings leisurely, heard the sound, and quickly raised his head to look at the sky, where a falcon with brown feathers was hovering over the leaves , and at the same time let out a sharp and short beep.

This is the ninja hawk specially trained by Konoha Village, who is responsible for the usual convening work in the village. Asma listens carefully to the rhythm of the hawk.

"The Chunin Exam..., is it about to start?" Asuma Sarutobi chuckled, thinking silently, and suddenly stood up and said to Shikamaru, Ino and Choji who were practicing: "I have something to do first. , take a step first!"

"Shikamaru." Before leaving, Sarutobi Asma seemed to have thought of something, and said to Shikamaru who was quietly wiping "Kagexiu", "I have to leave Konohamaru to you."

Yesterday Sarutobi Asma had entrusted Shikamaru to help guide his nephew, Sarutobi Konohamaru's practice. For this Chunin exam, Asma has full confidence in Shikamaru's strength and intelligence, and he will become a Chunin. After that, the command and teaching of subordinates is also a very important part. Let Shikamaru guide Konohamaru, which can not only increase Shikamaru’s experience in this area, but also allow the two to make friends. This is what Asma is happy to see , As for Ino and Choji, Asma really has no hope for the promotion of the two of them. The strength of the two of them is only at the middle level among Konoha Shinobi. Although they can get exercise from this exam, but once The chances of qualifying are slim.

"I understand." Shikamaru replied earnestly. Whether it was because of Asma's help to him all the time, or Konohamaru's own potential, Shikamaru could not refuse Asma's request.

Asma nodded when she heard the words, formed a seal with one hand, and used the instant body technique to display explosive speed, quickly turning into a black shadow and disappearing in the sight of Shikamaru and the other three.

"Ino, Choji." Seeing Asma leaving, Shikamaru looked at the time and found that it was almost the agreed time, so he said to the two companions who were practicing: "You two continue to practice, I want to go to and Konohamaru went to meet him at the agreed place." Shikamaru has not seen Konohamaru with his own eyes yet, and he is also interested in the grandson of the third Hokage. Maru and Konoha Maru told each other.

…………

At the same time, Kakashi Hatake and Asma, who had just led Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura to deliver missions to the [-]th class instructor Jonin, also saw the falcon circling and screaming above Konoha. Scratching the messy hair, he couldn't help sighing, and put down the kissing heaven in his hand.

"Hey!" Kakashi called to the three jinnin who were walking a few steps ahead, and said lightly, "I have something to leave first."

Saying that, Kakashi didn't wait for the three of them to reply, and left directly using the instant body technique.

"What, so irresponsible!" Haruno Sakura frowned slightly, blaming Kakashi for his behavior, but looked at the environment at this time, walked a few steps, and left the residential area, which was the bustling commercial street Now, it's suitable for a date with Sasuke!

Thinking of this, Xiao Ying strengthened her courage, encouraged herself in her heart, took small steps, came to Sasuke's side, and asked with a red face: "Sasuke, the task is over, do you want to go shopping with me? "

"No, I'm going back." Sasuke Uchiha refused without turning his head, and continued walking without stopping, trying to leave.

Seeing that Sasuke rejected her proposal without hesitation, Sakura's face froze, and the blush on her face spread, but she still insisted, "It's still early..."

"You're annoying, Sakura!" Sasuke suddenly turned his head, his brows were frowned, and his face was unhappy. Before that, Class [-] was doing such a small task as looking for a pet dog. Sasuke Uchiha was almost bitten by that dog. Thinking of the rumors that spread in the village not long ago, Nara Shikamaru, who was in the same period as him, has even fought against foreign Jnin, and what he is most proud of now is just killing two robbers That's all, the gap between him and the opponent seems to be getting wider and wider.

"If you have time to take care of me, you might as well practice." Uchiha Sasuke looked at Naruto, who was in a daze and didn't know what he was thinking, and said coldly to Sakura: "Your strength is actually not as good as Naruto. "

Nothing makes a girl sadder than being humiliated by her sweetheart, and the comparison partner is the companion she usually despises the most. Sakura was dumbfounded when she heard Sasuke's words, and felt her nose a little sore.

Sasuke didn't care about Sakura's expression, but left alone with a preoccupied look.

Naruto, who was in a daze not far away, was actually imagining and encouraging himself to ask Sakura to practice with him. At this time, seeing Sasuke leave alone for some reason, he was overjoyed and felt that the chance of meeting Sakura was greatly increased.

"Sakura, don't talk to Sasuke, let's go practice! I..." Naruto laughed excitedly, waved his right hand again and again, and shouted at Sakura, but as a ninja, he suddenly felt that there was something behind him. There was no movement, and he hurriedly looked back.

"..." A rectangle with two small holes in the front, but the color is disguised as a strange object like a road stone, staying behind him.

"This..., is this a camouflage!? What is it camouflaging!? Stone!?" Naruto's eyes twitched, pretending to be nonchalant, he turned his head and took two steps forward, then turned around suddenly, just in time to find this strange object The appearance of moving, reprimanded loudly: "Hey! Can you stop such a low-level disguise!?"

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" Childish laughter pretending to be low and hoarse came from the rectangular camouflage, and with the laughter, three children wearing goggles crawled out from inside one by one.

These three children are Naruto's three little followers in the original book - Konoha Maru, Udon, and Moe Huang. At this time, Konoha Maru was holding his arms across his chest, making a serious look, and said to Naruto : "As expected of the man I fancy, he is qualified enough to be my deadly enemy!"

Naruto's forehead seemed to have blue veins popping up, combined with the childish camouflage technique before, what Konoha Maru said made Naruto very angry when he heard it, pointed at the camouflage that seemed to be made of cardboard boxes, and said angrily : "How can there be such a square stone!? There are two round holes on it! This is the middle of the road!"

Konoha Maru wiped the tip of his nose, smiled embarrassedly, and said to Naruto: "Brother, come and play ninja games with us!"

Hearing this, Naruto curled his lips pretending to be disdainful, peeked at Sakura's direction, then stretched out his right thumb, tapped his forehead, and said with air: "I'm going to practice cultivation next. , I don’t have time to play ninja games with you guys!”

"Oh!" Konohamaru's eyes lit up when he heard Naruto's words, and he couldn't help shouting excitedly: "Brother, why don't you just guide me in cultivation!"

Meng Huang, who was beside Konoha Maru, heard the words, stepped forward and pulled Konoha Maru's clothes hem quietly, and whispered in a low voice: "Konoha Maru, didn't you say that your uncle has introduced us to a senior named Shikamaru, let us Wait for him here, and let him guide us to practice?"

"What do you know!" Konohamaru sneered, pointing at Naruto with his hands on his hips and shouting loudly, "Brother, he is the man who defeated Hokage!"

"Yes, Big Brother Naruto!" Konoha Maru clasped his fists, stepped forward to put on a pitiful appearance, and said to Naruto, "You will guide the cultivation of our three younger brothers!"

Naruto looked at the pitiful Konohamaru, and then looked at the direction of Sakura with a face of embarrassment, hesitating. Seeing this, Konohamaru clapped his hands suddenly, and approached Naruto with a look of sudden realization. Going forward, he pointed to Sakura who had already looked over, stretched out his little finger, ticked it off, and said with a smirk, "She's my brother's girlfriend! Are you two dating?"

Seeing this on the side, Sakura was startled, and seeing Naruto shamelessly nodding in recognition, she became angry, and performed super-level Taijutsu. She opened her posture with a lunge to accumulate energy, and passed the lesson Kakashi taught a few days ago. Using the chakra tree climbing technique, after a slight change, he gathered some chakra in his hands, then turned his slender waist, and punched Naruto hard on the cheek.

"Crack!" Haruno Sakura really has an extraordinary talent in chakra control. This blow completely knocked Naruto into the air. The huge force even drove Naruto's forehead and body to spin several times in the air, crashing the sides of the road. wooden fence.

"Brother!" Konoha Maru was shocked when he saw this scene, and hurried to Naruto's side. Naruto was completely unprepared before, and Kozakura punched him hard in the face unexpectedly, which made him still feel A little dazed, Konoha Maru couldn't help yelling when he saw this: "Big Brother..., Big Brother seems to be dead!?"

"What are you doing! Ugly!" Konohamaru shouted angrily at Haruno Sakura, seeing that Naruto's cheek was already swollen from being hit.

"Huh!?" Sakura, who was about to turn around and leave, turned her head and gave Konoha Maru a cold look. Thinking of Konoha Maru's action of hooking her little finger, she couldn't help squinting her eyes.

"Not good!" Seeing Sakura's appearance, Konoha Maru thought of the scene where Naruto was punched flying by her before, secretly regretted in his heart, swallowed, saw that Sakura seemed to want to turn around, and suddenly turned towards He ran quickly behind him, and hurriedly turned his head to see if Sakura was chasing her.

boom!

Konohamaru, who was running wildly, didn't look at the front, suddenly felt bumped into something, and fell to the ground with his head up.

"Don't you have eyes when you walk, kid!" Konohamaru, who fell on the ground, raised his upper body and rubbed his neck. At this moment, he heard a slightly angry voice coming from the front. He turned his head and found a man and a woman stuck in front of him. Two teenagers and girls.

The boy was wearing a black one-piece suit, and there were two protrusions on the hat on his head, which looked like ears, like a costume, and strange patterns were painted on his face.

The girl has long blonde hair, braided, and a light purple dress.

Both of them had forehead protectors, one was worn on the forehead and the other was worn on the neck, but it was not the Konoha logo. At this time, a large piece of soup was splashed on the boy in black, obviously he had just eaten from the snack bar. I bought some food to take away, but was knocked down by Konoha Maru and splashed on it.

Konoha Maru said nothing and didn't respond, but the boy's temperament was obviously not very good, he suddenly reached out and grabbed his collar, lifted his whole body off the ground, narrowed his eyes, and asked in a cold voice: "I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me!?"

"Kankuro, stop quickly, you will be scolded." It turned out that these two people were Kankuro and Temari from Sand Hidden Village. At this time, Temari turned his head and looked around, and advised Kankuro in a low voice.

"That opera singer, let me go!" Naruto, who had recovered from Sakura's blow, saw that Konoha Maru was being picked up by the collar, and his face was ugly, so he couldn't help getting up and cursing angrily.

"Is it Konoha's ninja?" Kankuro turned his head to look at the forehead guards of Naruto and Sakura, and realized that they were not wearing leather armor. I just want to play with Luo before coming here, and..."

"I also want to find out what the strength of Konoha Shinin is before the Chunin exam." Kankuro didn't say this, but Temari, who was very close to him, also guessed something when he heard what he said before, so and no longer blocked.

"Didn't you hear what I said!" Naruto saw that Kankuro ignored him, turned his head to talk to his companion instead, couldn't help being furious, and rushed straight to him.

Seeing this, Kankuro sneered. He had already used the chakra line to arrange the ground between the two groups. When Naruto charged forward, one foot landed on it, and when he lifted the other foot to change steps, When the center of gravity was unstable, Kankuro suddenly waved his fingers and pulled the chakra line, Naruto lost his balance involuntarily and fell with his head up.

"What happened just now!?" Naruto fell on the ground with a puzzled look on his face. He had never been in contact with puppet masters and puppet arts, so it was normal for him to suffer a sudden loss, but he couldn't figure out the opponent's attack method.

Seeing Naruto's performance, Kankuro smiled even more, and said to Naruto: "Konoha's Shinobi is nothing more than that."

"Whoosh!"

Kankuro was still about to say something, when a kunai suddenly flew from behind, and Temari, who had been observing the surroundings, snorted coldly, quickly untied the fan on his back, used the fan bone to block the kunai, flicked it away, and inserted it into the But at this time, everyone including Naruto Sakura saw clearly that there was a fiery talisman tied to Kunai's end!

"Oops!" Everyone was shocked. The empty streets had no cover at all, and there were tall wooden fences on both sides. There was no time to escape before the explosive talisman detonated.

"Crackling!"

This is not the explosion sound of the explosive talisman, but the slightly frivolous imitation sound coming from Kankuro and Temari's mouth at the end of the road behind him.

"Hey, some foreigners over there." A tall and thin boy with a ponytail in a black turtleneck sweater, light gray cropped pants, appeared from the end of the road behind Kankuro and Temari , the previous frivolous imitation came from his mouth. At this time, he looked at Kankuro who was still holding Konoha Maru expressionlessly, but had changed from one hand to two hands, and blocked it in front of him, and said loudly He wrote: "Wandering wild in other people's villages, always pay attention to what's behind you!"

"After all, you are going deep into the enemy's territory!"

(It's a pity, Luo Yin, but I wish you good grades in the college entrance examination!)
