Red sand dust

People's hearts are separated from each other, and it is really difficult to truly understand what a person is thinking.

Even with Nara Shikamaru's IQ of over 200, he still couldn't figure out why Daimaru did something in a high profile that didn't seem to have much benefit.

"Can't even Asuma-sensei see clearly?"

"How can it be that easy?"

Sarutobi Asuma replied,

"The judging panel for the Chuunin Examination this time also has different opinions on Suna Ninja Daimaru..."

So far, Mitarai Anko still appreciates Daimaru's performance, Morino Ihiki has neutral reservations, Hatake Kakashi and Moonlight Hayate do not agree with it, and other members who are qualified to express their opinions are also difficult to unify their opinions.

"Is there really a judging panel? I thought the Third Generation was just talking nonsense to comfort the candidates!"

Yamanaka Ino asked in surprise,

"With great strength, doesn't winning promotion prove the problem?"

"It's not that simple. By the way, Shikamaru, Shino Aburame, and Suna Ninja Temari were originally the most promising candidates for Chunin promotion. Unfortunately, Shikamaru stopped in the Forest of Death and lacked the performance in the third trial. , the hope must be slim."

"Teacher Asuma, please don't tell me this kind of information, which is more heartbreaking to know than not to know!"

Nara Shikamaru smiled wryly and waved his hand,

"It's not that I don't work hard, it's just that the female sand ninja is too crazy. Even if we die together, she still wants to knock me down. You can look up to me, but don't make things difficult for me. I'm helpless too."

His hands and feet were broken, but he still managed to stand up. In the end, he defeated the eldest lady of the Hyuga family. His body had been controlled, and his defeat was determined. He still continued to kill eight hundred enemies in one battle, and himself It would be unlucky to encounter such a guy in a big explosion that caused a thousand losses.

"Don't be so exaggerated. Sand ninjas are also made of flesh and blood, and they will hurt if they are injured. Don't you believe me?"

Sarutobi Asuma pursed his lips as he spoke, and the three genin of Team 10 looked out the window. Daimaru, who was covered in bandages and was shopping in a wheelchair, appeared in everyone's eyes.

"Puppetry is really convenient. You can enjoy delicious food at the touch of your finger."

Forget about the others, this was the only thing that made Akimichi Choci envious.

"Hey, I'm injured. I don't have any companions to help push the wheelchair. I have to do it myself. I go shopping alone. It's such a tragic scene. This guy probably doesn't have many friends..."

"No, this morning, except for the four Sunagakure candidates who were promoted, the other Sunagakure Village genin have returned."

"Don't you cheer for your teammates?"

Nara Shikamaru asked in confusion,

"The comradeship between compatriots is so weak?"

"No, Shikamaru. Sand ninjas are different from Konoha ninjas. They are not so leisurely. You can't afford to waste a month."

Sarutobi Asuma explained.

The living environment of ninjas from different ninja villages is very different. It is understandable that ninjas who were born in Konoha Village do not understand the hardships of the Wind Country.

As for the reasons for the current situation in Sunagakure Village, as a jounin of Konoha Village, some things are difficult to explain too much.

"Anyway, don't be too rude when getting along in the future!"

"knew!"

Nara Shikamaru didn't want to ask too much about insignificant things because he was afraid of trouble.

"It seems like he sneaked out! Don't you need to worry about it?"

"Ninja, it's okay to be willful. You have to bear the consequences anyway."

Then again, ninjas like puppet masters might be quite popular in the Leaf Village, as children like this kind of puppetry the most.

"Wait, isn't that Sakura? Why did you get into a fight with that Daimaru?"

Ino Yamanaka looked at the sudden appearance of his childhood sweetheart and couldn't help but feel worried.

"Private fights are prohibited in the village. What can happen on the streets where people are coming and going?"

Nara Shikamaru said indifferently,

"Are you underestimating Sakura too much? That Daimaru is seriously injured now. Even if he takes action, he won't lose so quickly. There are many Konoha ninjas nearby to stop them..."

"That's true, but I seem to have forgotten something..."

Yamanaka Ino, who tilted his head and thought for a while, suddenly stood up.

"Oops, I almost forgot to make an appointment with Sakura in order to eat the barbecue invited by Asuma-sensei..."

"It really is……"

Nara Shikamaru sighed for his noisy teammates, picked up the few remaining BBQ meats, and stuffed them into his mouth.

"tasty."

"I won't tell you anymore. I'm leaving now. Call me next time you treat me!"

"You can forget about an appointment you made a long time ago. It's really a plastic sisterhood that can't stand the trouble!"

The bearded man sighed inexplicably. Mitarashi Anko seemed to often forget to go drinking with Yuhi Kurenai as planned. If you ask why Sarutobi Asuma knew about it, it can only be said that he was deeply affected by it.

"If you ask me, the unity of our Class 10 is even more worrying. It's obviously hard to have a dinner together, but for the friendship that can't stand the test, we are left aside. Isn't it even more chilling? "

Nara Shikamaru was teasing in a rare joke. No matter what Akimichi Choji said, he was devouring the barbecue while nodding in agreement. I don't know if he heard his companion's words clearly.

After the turbulent Yamanaka Ino left, Sarutobi Asuma looked around and saw that no one was waiting around, and then lowered his voice and said:

"I want to ask your permission for something, Shikamaru!"

"What is it, so mysterious?"

"Originally, I was supposed to wait until after the Chunin Exam before making a decision, but because you have been eliminated, I want to tell you in advance that I have recommended you to go to the code class for internship..."

"Why so sudden?"

Nara Shikamaru asked in confusion.

"If you pass the Chuunin exam and are promoted to Chunin, you will become the captain of Class 10. Naturally, we will not mention it anymore, and the recommendation will be invalidated. But now the hope of promotion is slim, so I can tell you in advance so that you can be mentally prepared. …”

"Can I say no?"

"It's not impossible, but I still hope you try it!"

"Let me think about it..."

"Well! No matter what, I hope you don't have any psychological burden. The village needs the contribution of new generation ninjas like you, but it's not time to force you to take the lead. After all, we are not old yet..."

"Then...I agree!"

"So fast! Don't you think about it any more?"

"This is a great opportunity and I want to try it."

"Well, you can rest peacefully and wait for notification. I will make other arrangements."

"Sorry to trouble you, Asuma-sensei!"

Nara Shikamaru thanked him sincerely.

"You're welcome, I'm your guiding jounin!"

As a ninjutsu teacher and a life mentor, it is natural to plan the future for students.
