Red Dust

Chapter 0089 Due Diligence

Of course, these trivial matters have nothing to do with Daimaru, even if you want to manage them.

Near noon, after eating and drinking, the drowsiness caused by the rise in blood sugar spread all over the body, Daimaru put down the ninjutsu scroll that he had read several times, and looked at the white clouds like cotton candy outside the window, unconsciously. I closed my eyes.

During the carefree nap, Daimaru seemed to have dreamed of something good, and smiled happily, the corners of his mouth slackened unconsciously, and the saliva couldn't help but flow out, landed on the edge of the pillow, wet his cheeks, and brought a cool feeling. The discomfort caused Daimaru to wake up suddenly.

"Someone! 』

Before opening his eyes, the two puppets who were waiting for the master's call by the bedside immediately stood up and guarded Daimaru on alert.

"do not worry!"

A voice that was obviously out of breath came over, and the familiar tone made Daimaru put down his mind a little, and opened his eyes to see that it was the examiner of the third test, the sick seedling was especially high-end tolerance-Moonlight Gale.

"It turned out to be the chief examiner, who came to visit suddenly, what's the matter?"

It wasn't because he was suddenly attacked by Gaara, and Daimaru was relieved. If he was "sacrificed" by his brother-in-law at this time, it would be a big loss.

"Regarding the third test of the Chunin Exam, because of a change, for the sake of fairness, we need to inform you in advance."

"Please say!"

Daimaru showed an expression of listening intently.

"There are only No. [-] Pharmacists and No. [-] Daimaru. Because of the order of the lottery, we need to play one more game. However, there are unexpected situations now..."

Moonlight Blast couldn't help coughing a few times before continuing,

"The No. [-] candidate Yakushi has withdrawn from this Chunin exam. Therefore, you will win without a fight, and start the quarter-finals directly. In the fourth round, the No. [-] Temari and you who are No. [-] will appear..."

"It's a good thing, one game less, I can take a lot more calmly..."

"As long as you have no objection!"

The moonlight and the wind paused,

"You are the only one who is directly affected by this accident, so you need to be notified in time to avoid affecting your targeted preparations! You can ignore Yakushi's pocket and directly prepare for the Temari match."

"Understood, thank you the chief examiner for reminding me!"

Daimaru said calmly.

"In addition, considering your injury, please rest in peace for the time being. We will arrange the best treatment plan so as not to affect your practice! However, please cooperate with the doctor's instructions and do not act on your own, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences!"

"understand!"

It is Daimaru's advantage to listen to opinions humbly, especially when he was found sneaking out of the hospital to hang out, and Kusunin was warned for unprovoked provocation.

"Very well, I wish the exam well!"

After speaking, the chief examiner, Yueguang Gale, left with a flash.

Looking at the open window and the tulle curtains swaying in the breeze, Daimaru shook his head helplessly.

"Ninja Konoha don't like to go through the door, do they like to go in and out from the window?"

Not only that, some chakra wire detection methods arranged in the ward did not remind Daimaru that an enemy had sneaked in.

If it wasn't for the moonlight blast taking the initiative to leak a hint of breath, Daimaru wouldn't even notice it.

Even if he was a sick child who was instantly killed by Maki with a single move of the Wind Blade, he was a special Jōnin with good strength, and he was not a master that Daimaru could guess.

Watching Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto kill Chunin Junin like a chicken dog, I thought that the idea that Chunin Junin is a weak chicken can be put down.

It is the protagonist's prerogative to challenge a higher level, and it is better for others to be honest.

pity……

"I don't know how many days Moonlight Blaze will live, or will he be killed due to the exposure of tracking and investigation as expected! 』

Because of a trivial matter, I specially came to inform him that at least Konoha Village upholds the apparent fairness. If there is a choice, Daimaru really doesn't want this guy to die inexplicably.

……

A little earlier, in the private room of the most famous "Liquor House" on Mingcha Street, Asma Sarutobi had a bitter face, touched his empty wallet, and reluctantly looked at Qiu Dao Dingji's plumpness one after another. The barbecue slices were eaten.

"Although I promised to treat guests, can't you be more polite? But I'm about to be eaten and bankrupted by you..."

"It's rare to be able to eat BBQ meat to the fullest. How can you let it go, Mr. Asma, you are so naive!"

Holding greasy chopsticks, without looking up, staring at the sliced ​​meat that was about to be grilled, Akida Dingji replied without hesitation.

"It's morning, eat too much greasy food, be careful of indigestion!"

"It doesn't matter, as a descendant of the Qiu Dao family, he has already trained a pair of iron stomachs and barbecued meat, so it's not a problem."

"All right!"

The distressed Sarutobi Asma gave up the idea of ​​persuasion, and it was too difficult to get Qiu Dao Dingji to give up the barbecue that was about to come to his lips.

After drinking a glass of sake, to ease the depression that was about to go bankrupt, Asma Sarutobi looked at the other two students who were in a bad mood.

"Still worrying about it? Teacher, I didn't say anything. You don't need to be so unhappy. If you want to be open, newcomers will always suffer a lot from taking the Chunin exam..."

Suspected strength will always be deliberately targeted, which is inevitable.

"However, Sasuke has been promoted, and even Naruto and Shino can pass the level..."

Yamanaka Ino sighed.

Also this year's rookie, three classmates rushed out of the siege of strong enemies and entered the third test. Why did the tenth class wipe out the entire army?

"To be honest, I'm still very satisfied with your performance!"

Sarutobi Asma put down the wine glass and said in a serious tone,

"In the face of almost hopeless desperation, it is already very good to rely on perseverance to persevere to the third preliminaries. As for the one-on-one elimination competition, there are too many accidental factors, and the rules are very unfavorable for you. Especially Shikamaru, poor One point to advance..."

"In the end, it fell short!"

Nara Shikamaru listlessly pushed the wooden window beside the table, and there was a commotion outside.

"Teacher Asma, Sha Ren, are they all like that, in order to win, at all costs?"

The bearded teacher replied:

"It's hard to say! In fact, I also find it a little strange. This year's Shayin Murakami's Ninja candidates are unexpectedly strong. Of course, you are not bad, but you have less belief in winning than Shayin..."

"belief?"

Nara Shikamaru thought for a while,

"Like Xiao Li, in order to prove his forbearance, he fought to the death, but unfortunately he failed in the end..."

"Defeat doesn't mean the ninja is broken..."

Sarubi Asma shook his head,

"You three, I'm most optimistic about your future, Shikamaru! But now, it's you who worry the most..."

Chapter 0090 The troubles of smart people

"worry about me?"

Nara Shikamaru squeezed out a smile,

"I'm sorry for causing trouble to Asma-sensei, I'm fine..."

"You're too smart, you're a guy with a lot of expectations."

The bearded man, who had already overdrawn a lot of his savings, broke the tank, ordered a few more barbecues, a small bottle of sake, and slowly poured and drank it by himself.

"A child who is too rational looks mature, but in fact, it is not the same as the rationality of adults.

The smarter children are, the more they can find shortcuts. When they find that they can keep themselves from falling behind even without effort, it will be difficult for them to appreciate the importance of effort, and the toughness required for success is even more difficult to possess. …”

"Effort, perseverance!"

Nara Shikamaru sighed and felt that these words were a little far from him. Although he was able to improve the shadow binding technique handed down by his family into a shadow imitation technique that was more suitable for him by virtue of his ingenuity, he was usually meticulous in his ninjutsu practice. But it's just doing what you're supposed to do step by step.

Not to mention the ascetic training like Locklee, the tail of the crane like Naruto Uzumaki, his efforts are far beyond his own.

With Nara Shikamaru's cleverness, don't you know that such a state is not good?

However, the nature of being afraid of trouble cannot be reversed in a short time.

"With a good mind, you can't do anything.

The smarter you are, the more you know where your limits are.The efforts of the ignorant are often seen as self-defeating, and the success of the wise is taken for granted..."

Nara Shikamaru said leisurely, as if summarizing to himself,

"People are used to thinking that I'm good at everything, no matter what the circumstances..."

Occasional weakness and unease are unspoken, worrying that your performance will not be satisfactory, you will spend too much time and energy thinking about analyzing the predicament you are in, and you will be unable to extricate yourself.

Even if you talk about this with others, you will not be understood, and most of them will be regarded as thinking too much and worrying about nothing.

Is it a show of superiority to tell someone who is not as smart as you about the benefits?

Nara Shikamaru understands the truth, but is it useful?

Rationality and sensibility are not the same thing. Instead of getting into that troublesome situation, it is better to hide your edge, live passively, and live a peaceful life every day.

"It's so troublesome, I don't understand it at all, Shikamaru!"

While chewing on the grilled meat, Choji Akishima said vaguely, Yamanaka Ino simply gave up discussing this kind of thing with Nara Shikamaru, and he couldn’t compete with him anyway.

"You..."

Sarutobi Asma patiently listened to Nara Shikamaru's complaints and carefully pondered,

"He's a smart and thoughtful guy, and a little naive and kind! But..."

This world is not just Konoha Village, and it is not always so stable. Even within the village, there are some disturbing undercurrents.

"I don't know if you are overestimating yourself or underestimating yourself. Originally, I wanted to persuade you. It seems that you already know the problem..."

The [-]th class of Konoha Shimonin, the simple-minded Akimichi Choji is a model of great wisdom and ignorance. He knows his strengths and weaknesses, and entrusts the task of thinking to the most suitable Nara Shikamaru, and he trusts the leader of this team very much. Understand your own position.

Yamanaka Ino is also a potential female ninja. Except that the love brain of Sasuke Uchiha sometimes makes him lost, he has no obvious shortcomings.

The next generation descendant of the famous "Pig Deer Butterfly" of Konoha Village, the well-deserved core Nara Shikamaru, has always been worthy of his smart mind, reliable at critical moments, serious and brave, only one point...
