Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 5 story begins

In fact, Shikamaru is very attached to the time in the ninja school. The students around him have not yet faced the scheming bred by the darkness of the ninja, and they can learn new knowledge every day. This kind of chakra system that is completely different from the previous life fascinates him.

After the age of ten, the body began to grow rapidly. The foundation laid before and the unshakable practice gave Shikamaru the illusion that he felt progress every day. This feeling of hard work and strength rewarded people was like drug addiction.Time is not static, even if it is nostalgia and reluctance, it will not be reversed by human will. In the blink of an eye, the school graduation exam is finally coming, but in fact, the graduation exam is actually more formal than practical.

Ninja school is different from the many schools Shikamaru was in in his previous life. He studies for exams, and everything is for credits. The mission of the ninja school is to make the future of these Konohas gradually survive and grow in future wars. I got up, so I often organize tests, and each test is also very strict. If you fail to pass the same test more than three times, you will have to re-study through downgrading, and it can be seen from the original book that the real graduation test is actually carried out by the forbearance .Except for a slight change in the order of the exams, nothing about the graduation ceremony has changed. Naruto and Mizuki's hookup can also be seen. Shikamaru doubts the authenticity of the sealed book stolen by Naruto in the original work, even if it is true. , and must be under the surveillance of Sarutobi Hiruzen, if the pussy duo of Mizuki + Naruto can take away the sealed book so easily, Konoha Village is not worthy of being called the head of the Five Great Ninja Villages.But this also means that the plot is finally unfolding gradually.

…………

Although the grades in the ninja school have always remained at No.1, what the ninja school learns is only the basics of ninjas.

Although the Inokacho trio formed by his father Nara Shikahisa, Yamanaka Kaiichi, and Akimichi Choza is now alone, but the Nara clan's secret art characteristics are doomed to not be able to exert better effects only when others cooperate. There will be no small limitations in the growth.

Nara Shikahisa and Nara Yoshino also knew more or less the true assessment of becoming a ninja in peacetime, and graduation from the ninja school was just the first step.

A sumptuous dinner, even to celebrate Shikamaru's graduation from school, there is no warm celebration and joyful encouragement. Of course Shikamaru, who is familiar with the original work, understands the feelings of his parents, so he is not annoyed by his parents' behavior.

After dinner, it is the unshakable practice every day.

It is not advisable to do strenuous exercise after a meal, so practice mudras first. In fact, there are few shortcuts. The main thing is to keep reviewing and getting familiar with various mudras. Of course, you should pay attention to maintaining your hands, especially the joints. At this time, Shikamaru is still young. His hands are tender and soft, so he pays more attention to them. If he learns Xiao Li without careful consideration and restraint, he will start physical training that puts a huge load on his body at an early age, and it will easily hurt his body. In the long run, It will inevitably lead to thick and slow finger joints. This negligence can lead to a gap in the future. After all, Shikamaru's future path is no different from that of Xiao Li. .

This is the foundation. The mudra system is the foundation of ninjutsu. Naturally, it is not that simple. Now Shikamaru is just proficient in each mudra first, and then it is natural to match it with chakra, and even practice in sports and distracted situations. Complete the seal in an orderly manner, and be able to use ninjutsu smoothly.

After practicing knot mudra, it is time to use the chakra tree climbing method. This is not an easy task. Let alone the use of chakra, just walking on the tree trunk in an upright manner with the body horizontal It's quite a challenge.

Secondly, if you want to learn Kakashi's understated attitude in the original book, the first two steps when your feet touch the tree trunk are indeed the key. These two actions involve changes in body strength and center of gravity at the beginning, and you need to carefully adjust the use of Chakra. On the contrary, there has not been much change in the follow-up. You can see the truth in the subtleties. Ninjas and chakras have never been as simple and superficial as people imagined. They are mysterious powers and mature and profound systems.

Shikamaru ended the training until the sky became darker, and returned home. The training was actually not heavy. After all, it was limited to physical fitness and chakra volume. Naturally, the training intensity could not be too high, but it was very boring.People of the same age as Shikamaru are still children, and their hearts are jumping, so it is difficult to calm down and repeat this boring training, but after a little growth, they will understand that this boring training is inevitable. The ninja's iron will, It is not formed by relying on the so-called "life and death" such an instantaneous emotional change, but after a long period of time, enduring mental monotony and physical fatigue, and with the accumulation of time, condenses your own way of tolerance and perfects it. In other words, Chakra is formed by spiritual energy and physical energy. This way of ninja is just a mantra of Naruto in the original book. Every independent ninja has his own beliefs. The "forbearance" of all human will and spirit!

Back home, after washing his body, Shikamaru lay on the bed thinking in his heart that the real assessment of Asma the day after tomorrow may use the same method as Kakashi in the original book, but the probability of this is actually very small, and it has been passed down for many years How could Konoha Village only have this method to examine the quality of jōnin, and each jōnin has its own favorite places, and also has a unique education style. Kakashi's method can be said to be very lazy and simple. It is really a bit speechless to directly use bento to test team awareness.

"Mizuki is an overconfident noodle, thanks to Iruka, otherwise you would have become the direct creator of the dark Naruto!" Shikamaru whispered to himself, tonight is the first time Naruto was killed by someone. The day of recognition is also the most important turning point in Naruto's life. Naruto, who was betrayed by someone he believed in, found someone who accepted him at the same time, and his persistence in "working hard to get the approval of others" was also recognized for the first time.

"Child of Destiny, I hope you don't go on the opposite side of me, otherwise you can only die prematurely..."

…………

Shikamaru had already tidied up her clothes early the next morning.Although helpless, I can only keep the same hairstyle as the original Nara clan. The iconic ponytail is really annoying. I wear a pure black high-necked short-sleeved vest that is lightly attached to the body, and I wear dark blue underneath. He wore black cropped straight-leg pants, put on leggings, and stepped on a pair of black rubber shoes. He pinned the forehead guard behind his right arm as in the original book, and then carefully checked the items in the ninja bag—this is the most important thing for a ninja. Tools, you have to be careful - say hello to your parents and go out.

Students who have graduated yesterday have been notified to return to school the next day for grouping.Shikamaru also made an appointment with a few close classmates to go to school together, he didn't want to be late.

After waiting at the intersection for five or six minutes, Shino, Ino, Kiba, and Choji all arrived one after another. The five talked and laughed and walked towards the school. Complacent and arrogant.

"Shikamaru, do you think the three of us will be divided into a group?" Kiba said while pointing at Shino. Kiba has always looked down on Choji who is always eating. In comparison, he has good grades and personality. The good Shikamaru Kazuo doesn't like to talk, but he occasionally quarrels with himself, and Shino is more compatible with him, so there is this question.

"Iba, that's impossible." Without Shikamaru saying anything, Shino has already answered Kiba's question for him: "The Nara clan, the Yamanaka clan, and the Akimichi clan are family friends. Mr. Shikahisa, Mr. Kaiichi, and Mr. Dingza are known by people. It is called the trio of 'Pig Deer Butterfly', as their children, their family, school and even Hokage will not want to let them go."

After hearing his words, Inuzuka Ya looked at the expressions of Ino and Choji, and found that they really looked at him with a look of contempt, obviously did not expect him to ask such an ignorant question.

"However, there is a high possibility that you and Shino are in the same group." Looking at the flushed tooth, Shikamaru comforted him: "You are good in martial arts, but poor in theory, and Shino is the opposite of you. , and your personality is more irritable, Zhi Nai has always been calm, if the two of you complement each other in all aspects in a team, the school should also think of this."

"Really? I didn't think of any of this." Shino ignored the nagging teeth who ran to him again, and looked at Shikamaru in surprise.Although Shikamaru, who has read the original work, does not need to think about these things at all, but in the eyes of Shino, who is only 12 years old, his peers can infer these things, which is enough to surprise him.

The journey was not too far, and the foot strength of the few people was not bad. They arrived at the school very quickly, and then saw Naruto, who was showing off his forehead protection among the teachers to the students around him, with a complacent look, presumably Ambitious at this time.

So far, the plot has not changed much.

Next, just like the original book, Iruka gave a brief speech, and then divided into groups. As Shikamaru expected, although he was always No.1 in school, he was still in a group with Ino and Dingji. People would not Too stupid to let the new generation of Zhuludie separate.

Sasuke and Naruto are also in a group - Kakashi, who is one of the best in Jnin, will protect Jinzhu Ri Naruto and teach Sasuke, who also has Sharingan, is a perfect thing.

Although Asuma Sarutobi has a decadent appearance and temperament, he is more reliable than Kakashi. He didn't make Shikamaru and the others wait long, and took them to the school's rooftop.

"Then, from today onwards, I will be the instructor of your tenth class. My name is Asma Sarutobi, and you can call me Teacher Asma." The self-introduction, inheriting the face of the third Hokage, coupled with her own personality and appearance is a bit sloppy, it is really easy for a little girl like Ino to feel distrustful. Seeing that Asma is about to smoke at this time, Ino deliberately used Staring at him with straight eyes, Asma gave a wry smile. She only held the cigarette in her mouth but did not light it, and added: "I like smoking, but I hate not being able to smoke. My ideal is to beat everyone in the village with shogi. , it's time for you to introduce yourself."

Asuma Sarutobi crossed his arms, leaned against the railing, and raised his chin at Shikamaru, who was in the middle of the three of them, with a friendly smile of an old man.

Unlike the unmotivated Shikamaru in the original book, today's Shikamaru is the core of the three Inokacho, and Asma, who is a Jonin, easily discovered this.

"My name is Nara Shikamaru, I like to think, hate noisy, ideal..." Shikamaru paused and said, "Ideal is to become a great ninja who can protect Konoha." There is no need to talk about Hokage like Naruto, Arouse the defenses of others, isn't Hokage also the great ninja who protects Konoha?

Ino and Choji also gave a brief introduction afterwards.

"So, today I will give you a day to get to know each other and cultivate your relationship. At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, bring ninja tools and gather at the gate of Konoha. I will test you." The right hand, without the knot seal, turned into a black shadow and left.

"What do you mean! Teacher Asma didn't even explain the test." Ino put down his right hand and said dissatisfied.

"The avatar technique of the graduation exam has been tested many times before? Don't you think it's too simple?" Shikamaru said expressionlessly.

"Yeah, I think it's strange too, it made me worry all night before the exam." Ding Ci said.

"It would be too irresponsible if the ninja school only judges the qualifications to become a ninja based on whether they can successfully use ninjutsu." Shikamaru said to the two: "The highlight must be tomorrow's test, we have to be mentally prepared Prepare."

Ino and Choji nodded solemnly.
