In the classroom, Haiya Iruka is holding a scorebook and recording the grades of her students.

Ninja schools teach the basics of the ninja world, and students only need to learn a few simple ninjutsu to graduate and become shinobi.

One by one, the children lined up in front of Iruka and lined up to perform the doppelganger technique.

For ninjas from the Konoha clan, the doppelganger technique is just one of the ninjutsu that has already been practiced and mastered, and the exam is just a formality. The difficulty of the doppelganger technique is not great, except for a few talents who are too poor, and no one will be nervous because of this graduation exam.

Shikamaru sat on his stool and watched the competition with a bored expression.

To his left is Hinata, who blushes down and doesn't know how to talk, and on his right sits Tian Tian, who has gradually become acquainted with him because of his part-time job at his shop.

Tian Tian was not in this class, but after finishing the exam early, she actually came here to join in the fun.

On the field, Naruto Uzumaki was shouting excitedly because he had successfully performed a doppelganger technique.

"Alright, alright! Naruto, congratulations on successfully passing the exam, but don't get in the way of the others! ”

Because of the relationship between the wave wind and water gate, Naruto Uzumaki has been taken care of by teachers large and small in the ninja school over the years. For Naruto, Iruka poured a lot of effort and love. Looking at Naruto's energetic appearance, he was also sincerely gratified.

"Naruto, this idiot!"

Rolling his eyes every day, he said with a voice.

For the children of the ninja family, performing a transformation technique is a compulsory course. No one gets excited about successfully passing an exam that they have already been able to pass.

Just like Sasuke Uchiha and Pig Deer Butterfly, they just followed the exam procedure, completed their actions, and then returned to their seats, waiting for the exam to end.

No ninja from a ninja family would be happy to be like Naruto Uzumaki for completing a few ninjutsu that he was already familiar with.

Shikamaru opened his eyes and noticed a hint of peculiarity.

As Naruto Uzumaki shouted, some of the people in line around him gradually calmed down. For the students of the ninja family, this is naturally not a big deal. Like Pig Deer Butterfly, Uchiha Sasuke, these ninjas from the Konoha clan, they don't need to be busy for a living. After becoming a shinobi, they have enough time and enough resources to practice.

For them, Shinobi is just the starting point of the ninja world.

But for others, this matter is related to whether they can successfully become ninjas and accept the key test of the mission in the future!

Become a ninja and be able to accept the village's mission. Although the low-level tasks do not pay much at first, they are far more than the income of other industries.

Naruto's unique thick nerves give him a unique temperament that can infect others, which can also be called leadership. With his shouting, several civilian ninjas around him also began to calm down and prepare for the exam.

"Shikamaru, after we graduate, will we be in a group?"

At this time, Tian Tian whispered beside him. When Hinata heard the news, her little ears suddenly twitched and she listened intently.

"Well! The odds are unlikely. Our grouping has been worked out for a long time, and it is not randomly selected as the school teacher said. For example, a special combination of pigs, deer and butterflies has no possibility of separation. ”

"That's it!"

As Shikamaru's words fell, the two girls beside him were a little disappointed.

"And who do you want to group with?"

Tian Tian asked.

"I'm ......!"

"Nara Shikamaru!"

Shikamaru didn't finish speaking, and Iruka shouted. At this time, many people's eyes were on Shikamaru. Nara Yu looked at his brother with some concern. After all, Shikamaru is usually very lazy, and she has never seen Shikamaru practice ninjutsu at home or elsewhere, so she doesn't feel a little worried.

Bump.

Shikamaru didn't move, and next to Iruka, there was an extra doppelganger of Shikamaru.

"Qualified!"

Iruka was a little surprised, this kind of distance to cast a doppelganger technique is rare. It's just that before Iruka could finish speaking, Shikamaru's doppelganger suddenly turned into white smoke and disappeared in place.

When Iruka looked up again, Shikamaru had disappeared from the seat.

"Could this be a multi-shadow clone?"

Iruka looked at Shikamaru who had already disappeared from his seat with a stunned expression, and said in a daze. Although Iruka is a mid-ninja, he still knows a lot about this B-level ninjutsu shadow clone. After all, he had just learned not so long ago.

This kind of ninjutsu, which evenly distributes one's chakra to another clone, allows a ninja to double the amount of time he spends, which can be said to be a very practical ninjutsu.

And the A-level ninjutsu multiple shadow clones are listed as forbidden arts. For ninjas, physical clones can accumulate experience faster, but more is not always better.

With the disappearance of the doppelganger, the ontology gains not only the experience of the doppelganger, but also fatigue. A normal ninja who splits a clone will gain double the fatigue rating. And with the increase of doppelgangers, the fatigue value increases exponentially, which is even fatal.

"How come, could it be that Shikamaru just now has always been a shadow clone?"

Iruka was a little incredulous, Shikamaru was still just a child, how could he already use forbidden arts.

Dragon Cave.

The main body of Shikamaru, who was in Orochimaru's laboratory, was suddenly stunned.

"How did my doppelganger come back?"

Orochimaru was fiddling with the instrument at the base and said, "It should be that this machine interfered with your chakra when transmitting signals, affecting your clone in Konoha. ”

The machine is plugged into a dense black tube that is connected to a huge electronic screen in the laboratory.

After Orochimaru's adjustment, a faint picture began to appear on that screen, and what was depicted on that screen was the Otherworld.

A few angles were reversed, and the style of the other world was imprinted into Shikamaru's eyes. Thick and tall trees, behemoths of all shapes, strange plants......

"I was able to transmit images across the barriers of space, thanks to the black rods made by Nagato. With chakra as energy, we are able to do things that were not possible before. ”

Before Orochimaru could finish speaking, the screen began to blur and turn into snowflakes.

"It seems that the transmission is still unstable!"

Orochimaru was already proud, and there was a hint of embarrassment on his face.

Shikamaru didn't care at all, but his face was even more excited than Orochimaru's just now. If this monitoring system matures, Akatsuki will be able to use it to detect the Atlas and obtain resources. Instead of being able to use reverse spiritism more efficiently as before.
