Red Dust

In the "Konoha Crash Plan" that year, in order to ensure the unexpected effect, Temari himself deliberately suppressed the level. The combination of the three brothers and sisters had almost no opponents in the Chunin exam. Not necessarily cheap.

Look at the little girls in front of you, all of them are gifted children, but in terms of advantages, they are really amazing, but when they are on the battlefield, it has nothing to do with talent, hard work and personal will. Usually accumulation is of course important. Luck is a big part of what really determines the survival rate.

Too protruding, too conspicuous, it is very likely to be a target to be focused and targeted, and this will not change at all until it is strong to a certain extent.

The tool people on the battlefield need the most skills to avoid weaknesses as much as possible, obey orders, and then resign themselves to fate.

The young girls who were enveloped in excitement and apprehension must not realize this.

Only by experiencing the baptism of war in person will you understand how to save your life in the brutal forehead slaughter.

Just when the members of his subordinates were thinking about each other, Nara Shikamaru was also looking at the document in his hand under the slightly dim light, and rubbed his sour eyes.

The average age of the members of the long-distance combat combined army unit is too young, too young, and inexperienced, which also leads to difficulties in control.

In order to condense the rabble of scattered sand into a single rope and exert the strongest power, Nara Shikamaru has broken his head.

Sand Shinobi, who occupied most of the places, was flooded, causing Temari's influence to increase greatly. Nara Shikamaru could hardly get past Temari and directly gave orders to Sand Shinobi.

Prestige isn't something that comes automatically from a position given to it by a superior.

Nara Shikamaru's past experience is too biased towards civilian jobs, even though he is known for his excellent mind and shrewd tactics, he has no particularly dazzling record, resulting in rebellious young people who are not very convinced of him.

Fortunately, Temari did not embarrass Shikamaru Nara, and still supported the "acting commander".

It's just that if this goes on, the goal of making meritorious deeds and being rewarded and enhancing prestige will be difficult to achieve.

Chapter 1226 Warning

Nara Shikamaru can become the "acting commander" of the long-distance combat combined army unit. There is no problem with his ability, but it is a bit controversial if he is not worthy of his name.

Not to mention other people, the Sand Ninja Temari under his command is also known for his good brains and tactical thinking. An elite female ninja, he was promoted to Jōnin nearly three years earlier than Nara Shikamaru, and he was also guarded by Sandyin Village. The leader, Ren Fengying's eldest sister, is obviously superior in terms of qualifications.

The successful acquisition of this position is also the result of the game between all parties. Konoha Village wanted to stand for the younger generation. Because of his close relationship with the daimyo, Sarutobi Asma was sent to the daimyo escort team and acted as Terumi Mei's deputy.

Nara Shikamaru's father, Nara Shikahisa, used to be a die-hard supporter of Hokage's three generations, Sarutobi Hijen, as well as the acting staff of the Ninja Allied Forces. If Nara Shikamaru has some more achievements worth building momentum, he can be a part of the three generations. The origin of the rectification of the name, the rebellion of Orochimaru came out, but it was an accident, and his subordinates were the mainstay of Konoha Village Genzhengmiaohong and the reserve of Hokage.

Sandyin Village adheres to the policy that as long as he has enough face, he will not work hard on his reputation, and he does not pay too much attention to the position of commander of the long-distance combat combined army unit. Strong support, especially Daimaru also wants to see if Nara Shikamaru has the ability to compete with Naruto Uzumaki for the future position of Hokage, so wait and see, which leads to such a result.

Nara Shikamaru knows that there are some coincidences in his position, but since he has achieved this position, he must work hard.

In the past, I dealt with ninjas from the same village, and they had some incense affection, which would give me some face. Sand and Yanren were not so good at talking.

"Fame is such a thing, don't look at the mountains and dew in normal times, when it is really needed, it can play a vital role. 』

Not to mention the majesty of Jiraiya and Daimaru, even with the fame of his teacher Sarutobi Asma, Nara Shikamaru will not be so embarrassed now.

Just as the "acting commander", who was in power for the first time, was thinking hard, there was a knock at the door.

"Come in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Nara Shikahisa, who was taking a break, pushed open the door and walked in.

"Hey, have you been drinking?"

Although his face was still normal and he didn't sway while walking, Nara Shikamaru, who was familiar with his father, still saw some clues.

"Besides work, you should also have fun! Although you have the title of 'staff officer', you are also an 'agent'.

Nara Shikamaru retorted with some disapproval:

"Our father and son are able to occupy a high position, relying on a good mind, how can you think of a strategy when you are drunk?"

"You..."

Nara Shikahisa sat down on the chair opposite and said lazily,

"Why are you in a high position, you and I are not both 'agents'? I heard that you have been having a headache recently with your training..."

"Probably I'm too young!"

Nara Shikamaru didn't mean to evade the question either. With his father's ingenuity better than himself, lying and concealing would be self-humiliating.

"Age is really a big issue..."

Nara Shikahisa let out a breath of alcohol and responded slowly,

"But it's not the root cause! Being driven by others is different from being on your own, and you're still too anxious! Although I don't know why you're eager to justify yourself when you're doing these things, some principles are still the same. Don't make the purpose of expressing yourself too obvious. , Do things calmly, and be famous in a low profile..."

"Since it's famous, why keep a low profile?"

The young Nara Shikamaru asked inexplicably, and the slightly drunk old father sighed:

"Fame is not something that can be earned by publicizing yourself, but relying on other people's praise. What you need to do is to find people who support you and provide a stage for your performance! Fame and influence are mutually reinforcing, you It's impossible to support it on your own..."

"Are supporters..."

Nara Shikamaru kept mumbling to himself.

Father Nara Shikahisa said a lot, but Nara Shikamaru was still very keen to find the key words.

"I...even worse than Naruto and Neji..."

Besides his teammate and childhood playmate Akimichi Choji, who else really believes in himself?

The world of adults is not a school competition, nor is it a show of talent in the Chunin exam, but a life game for a group of people.

"Listen to what you mean, do you want to be Hokage?"

The generation of Konoha Twelve Ninjas is just stuck on the age line of Naruto's succession, and it is also a period when talents are born in large numbers. If they can beat Konoha ninjas of the same age, the chance of becoming Hokage is very high.

Nara Shikamaru was silent, acquiescence.

"I didn't expect that you would have such a mind. In the early years, if the 'Pig, Deer and Butterfly' three families worked hard to win over some marginal ninjas, maybe they would have a higher influence, now..."

The old father who was talking shook his head regretfully.

Although Tsunade and Jiraiya are not young anymore, their strength is still at their peak, and they will be strong for many years.

After the death of the fourth Hokage-Namikaze Minato and before the "Konoha Collapse Plan", second-tier ninjas like the Nara family were still very well-connected.

"I know it's hard..."

Nara Shikamaru insisted,

"Although it is not necessary, I have to work hard, otherwise, I will be very unwilling!"

"Let's do it! I won't say that you are overthinking your abilities or that your ideas are unrealistic, but since you want to go down this road, you have to change your mind. Your supporters are too few, and even, Your teammates Choji Akimichi and Ino Yamanaka, who know you best in theory, support you? Or, have you noticed your ambitions?"

This question is difficult to answer and somewhat sensitive.

Nara Shikahisa went on to explain:

"Hokage's position is indeed only a recognized Konoha ninja to sit on, but first of all you have to fight, and let those who are close to you understand your decision, otherwise, others will certainly not firmly support you, but You will think that you are not consciously capable or that you have no consciousness to contribute to the village."

"To fight, you need to be upright, but you can't go into battle shirtless, but you have to be a little more reserved and let the supporters stand up for yourself. Is this what you mean?"

"Almost, as for how to do it, it depends on your ability!"

Nara Shikahisa said with a little relief,

"Our Nara family has relied on the steady style of the past generations to come to this day, but I didn't expect that there would be a guy who is arrogant. In short, I hope you can do it yourself, and I will help you when the time is right..."

"Appropriately, and my father? Isn't it a family..."

"Those who compete for Hokage on the basis of the family, the name of Thousand Hands has gradually dissipated, Uchiha was exterminated, and only Uchiha Sasuke survived. Don't get too involved in it..."

Chapter 1227 Urging

In this foreign country thousands of kilometers away from home, the father and son rarely chatted while they were busy, and played two games of shogi. defeated.

Some unhappy Nara Shikahisa muttered a few complaints, then cheered up and left.

Nara Shikamaru, who was single again, drank hot tea, ate some dry food, and opened the window to blow in the cool breeze, finally feeling much more comfortable.

"Being born in Konoha Village is lucky and a hindrance! 』

Take stock of how many competitors are there from top to bottom?

Tsunade and Jirai haven't retired yet, their father, Nara Shikahisa, has a few outstanding supporters, and there are also many supporters of teacher Sarutobi Asma. The inheritance of the three generations is still very rich. , the Sarutobi family is not weak, and has produced a lot of talents.

As for his peers, regardless of the defected Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuga Neji are more popular, and the unremarkable oil girl Shino probably has no idea of ​​being a Hokage. He's not a big threat.

There are also juniors, which should not be underestimated. The active Sarutobi Konohamaru is favored by many people.

If you can't establish a position in the next few years, there may be more and more competitors and more trouble.

Since the Nara family will not take risks for Nara Shikamaru's personal ambitions, the Qiu Dao family and the Yamanaka family will certainly not be able to count on it. branch relationship.

"To get the support of influential individuals, you don't have to work hard to win over the ninja. 』

The future of Konoha Village will be dominated by the most numerous and influential civilian ninjas. Even the most amazing and talented ninja children have to rely on the power of civilian ninjas if they want to make a difference.

With reference to the current situation of Shayin Village, we can see that this is the general trend. Even Daimaru, the identified opponent, did not follow the traditional path to turn himself into the leader of the faction, but took a more influential line of closeness to the people.

Promote talents from the grassroots or even outsiders, establish a new system, and attack the original order.

For example, the Kurama family, there are still many such desolate ninjas living on the edge of Konoha Village. Most of them are not as lucky as the Kurama family, and gradually disappear from everyone's sight.

These little ninjas are inconspicuous individually, but together they are a powerful force.

There are also local forces within the country of fire who are friendly with Konoha Village, and they are also willing to send manpower to support them. For example, Mori Nai Bixi is not only a ninja in Konoha Village, but not even a commoner family, but a branch of the Yamano family. .

"Anyway, first sit up in front of you, and deal with the long-distance battle combined army unit, and then discuss it with Dingji and the others!" 』

The most urgent task is to communicate with Temari and let her cooperate with her actions, but when she thinks that this female Sand Shinobi's boyfriend is that Daimaru, she feels that she has no idea what to do.

Looking back at the beginning, after the mission failed, her crying appearance was clearly seen by the other party, and Nara Shikamaru felt that her prestige in her heart had disappeared.

"It's tricky, isn't it better to hold an intra-team competition, and after you beat her, it's better to rebuild your image? 』

……

The "Snake" team that had been silent for a long time finally saw the sun again, but Chongwu and Gui Deng Shuiyue watched anxiously as the mighty chakra waves hit in the distance.

Six crimson chakras tumbling all over their bodies, obviously filthy soil in the state of half-tailed beast, are working together to cut a steep mountain into a small slope.

Such amazing power not only made Shuiyue and Chonggo tremble with fear, but even Sasuke Uchiha felt a little awkward to deal with.

Also, among the six gigantic figures, is the figure that is manipulating back and forth, or is it Uchiha Obito, who did not feel very threatening at the beginning?

It feels like a completely different person, and even Chakra's reaction is very different from the past.

"Just one reincarnation eye brought such a big change?"
