Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 8 Difficulty

The battle between Asma and Ino ended quickly. Ino, who was on his way and had most of his ninja tools taken away by Shikamaru, didn't even have the right to procrastinate against Asma. From the beginning to the end, Asma just used an illusion. After the battle, Ino, who was under the illusion, involuntarily handed over the fake cigarettes in the forehead to Asma.

"Give the real cigarettes to Choji, who is the least likely to be suspected?" Asma looked at the twig in his hand: "It's courageous, but this plan is still too crude."

Even now, the time has only passed about 10 to [-] minutes, and Asma still has enough time to catch up and catch Choji, which is why he said this.

Throw away the branch, and Ino, who was hit by the illusion, will soon regain consciousness, so Asma no longer cares about the other party, and starts hunting according to the traces left by Choji!

Choji, relying on the hope of his companions, exerted all his strength to hurry on the road, his heart suddenly tightened, the sound of footsteps behind him was weak but clear, he hurriedly looked back, and found that Asma had no intention of hiding or evading, Quickly approach him.

The panicked Choji desperately wanted to speed up, but immediately he realized that this kind of behavior was useless at all. Thinking of Shikamaru and Ino's trust, Choji stopped with a solemn expression. "Come on!" Ding Ci took a deep breath, shouted, and resolutely turned around and rushed towards Asma.

…………

Asma looked suspiciously at the twig in his hand, which was the "cigarette" in Choji's hand.

"Couldn't the real cigarettes be hidden in the forehead?" Asma thought uncertainly. As a Jnin with rich experience in actual combat, it is easy to see that both Ino and Choji subconsciously Protect the forehead and avoid collisions.

Asma looked at a lot of snacks and ninja tools poured out of Choji's ninja bag, and really didn't think that Choji had such a strong scheming and experience, so she stepped forward to help Choji who was unconscious, and put The previous illusion was unraveled, and after Choji opened his eyes in confusion, he used the illusion again.

"Where are the real cigarettes?" Asma made a mudra with one hand and asked Choji who was hypnotized by the illusion.

"It's in my forehead." Ding Ci, who was under the illusion, seemed a little confused.

"The bag was secretly dropped?" Asma frowned, seeming to think of something, and asked with some surprise: "Could it be that the plan was not agreed by the three of you at all!?"

"No, it was Shikamaru's plan." Choji replied.

"It turned out to be like this..." Asma raised her eyebrows, unexpectedly, both Ino and Choji were kept in the dark by Shikamaru, and the cigarettes were not in their hands, "Or, the cigarettes were just hidden in Ino and Choji's hands." On the two of them?"

"What did Shikamaru say when he explained the plan to you?" Asma asked.

Hearing his question, Choji calmly recounted Shikamaru's instructions to the two in the forest.

When Asma heard that Shikamaru asked Ino to rush back to Konoha immediately after getting rid of the restriction, he interrupted Choji and asked: "What contact did Shikamaru have with Ino when we started with you? Did you touch her ninja tool?" Bao?" Maybe it was enough to convince Ino and Choji, but the experienced Asma immediately recognized the clues, which aroused his suspicion?Will he go back and take another look at Ino after he's gone?The chance of arousing Asma's suspicion is only "little" as Shikamaru said. The most important thing is that the cigarettes Shikamaru handed over to Choji are still fake.

"..." Choji replied after thinking for a while in a daze, "There is no contact, but Shikamaru is going to be a trap, and he asked Ino for the ninja bag, and Ino gave it to him."

…………

Asma, who was prancing vigorously in the forest, sighed. After subduing Shikamaru, he also used illusion hypnosis on Shikamaru, and wanted Shikamaru to tell who Ino and Choji were really carrying cigarettes.

However, at that time, he found that Shikamaru's will was very firm, and simple illusions had no effect on him!Except for some secret techniques and blood succession limits, basically, illusions use the caster's chakra to interfere with the subject's chakra, in order to confuse and confuse the opponent's thinking and senses. In fact, the main use is The spiritual energy in chakra is used to produce effects. If the subject is full of energy, pure, and strong-willed, the effect will be greatly reduced. Of course, negative emotions such as fatigue and fright can make the other party tired, thus causing mental tension, Loosening the will, but this kind of behavior is generally used to torture the enemy for intelligence. The easiest and shortest way to make the strong-willed mentally exhausted is mental or physical torture, but this is just an assessment after all, so At that time Asma also gave up.

Moreover, Asma did not expect that the whole plan was completely formulated and arranged by Shikamaru, and Ino and Choji were completely excluded, and the two had no objections or conflicts.This was indeed beyond Asma's expectations.

In a decision about their own interests, it is difficult for people to easily accept the opinions of others without revealing their own will.Like the childish plots in some childish stories that Shikamaru had read in his previous life, children of a few years old pretended to be deep, and flicked a few words, and people in high positions would execute them without any doubt. How could it be possible?In fact, even if you order your peers around you, who will beat you?Why should I listen to you?Especially when it's about self-interest?

The reason why Shikamaru was able to gain the trust of Choji and Ino is that friendship is one thing, and what is more important is the subtle influence that Shikamaru has with the two of them.

When we first got together, no matter how big or small, Shikamaru tried his best to put forward opinions on every decision-making. It is enough to lose profits. People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. When the number of times increases, it becomes a habit, and prestige and trust will be generated. It is really laughable to pretend to be the core of the team. Even if you are stronger than your teammates, every decision will damage the interests of the team, who will trust any of your decisions?Every decision you make will cause others to question it, so how do you gather prestige?Shikamaru will never treat others as fools, or npcs, and don't think that they will always act according to his arrangements. Those who think this way are idiots, and in the eyes of others, they are just fools with whimsical ideas.

Asma knew that the three of them were friends, and Shikamaru should also be the faint core, but until she heard Choji tell the plan, she never thought that Shikamaru was the leader of this team at all. Although she knew that Shikamaru was in the ninja school I was always No.1 when I was a child, and I have certain advantages in terms of performance and strength, but Asma, who is a Jnin, naturally understands how difficult it is to gather a team and obey what he says. At this time, Asma I still feel a little unbelievable. Strictly speaking, excluding the factor of strength, this kind of quality already has the appearance of a Chunin.

…………

Following Shikamaru's instructions, Ino continued to rush towards Konoha quickly, but at the beginning, she found that Asma hadn't chased after her, which made her hesitate a bit, but after thinking about it, she found that it was indeed as Shikamaru said , even if she turned back at this time, she could not catch up with Asma, so she continued on her way.

But not long after, Ino's "hope" finally came true, and Asma's figure appeared not far away. Ino, who didn't know the situation, was overjoyed and rushed with all his strength, but the gap between Jonin and her could not be reversed with will. The distance between the two quickly narrowed.

…………

Choji, who had recovered from the illusion, looked around in confusion. The dense branches and leaves in the forest blocked the sunlight, making it difficult to distinguish the time of day, and there would be a sense of time gap unconsciously. Choji stood up and bowed his head. Looking at the ground, there were snacks and ninja tools scattered on the ground around him. Until then, he finally came back to his senses. When he raised his head, he saw it hanging on a branch, shining in the sunlight shining through the branches and leaves. This situation immediately shattered any fantasy in his heart, as if he lost all his sharp weapons in an instant, and sat down on the ground in frustration, Ding Ci, who was tortured by self-blame and annoyance, had red eyes and held back Tears, as if venting, he walked to the snacks, took out the box of chocolate bars that he hadn't eaten since he opened it, and took out the chocolate bars from it... He failed his best friend's trust!

…………

Although he breathed a sigh of relief, Asma, who still quickly subdued Ino, grabbed Ino's ninja bag without delay, took out a few thousand copies from it, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully, while asking Ino who was hypnotized by the illusion : "Didn't you use Qianben on the road?"

"No." Ino replied.

"No..." Asma picked up all the thousands of copies in the Ino Shinobi Report, and after checking them, she showed a smile of unknown meaning, and suddenly waved her hands repeatedly, nailing all the thousand copies to a tree, and thousands of copies were pierced deeply. Through the bark and straight into the trunk, none of them fell off. At this time, Asma naturally did not want to show her ninja throwing skills.

"Interesting!" Asma smiled happily, took out a cigarette from the ninja bag, and lit it. All the thousands of copies in the ninja bag in Ino turned out to be real!

Although illusion is not Asma's strong point, Yamanaka Ino, who is not even considered a ninja, has no ability to conceal and deceive Asma under the condition of illusion. Everything she said must be the truth, but in this way As a result, the result is interesting. The known clues have been interrupted, but time has slipped away in the previous constant pursuit.
