Shikamaru was stunned after listening to Echizen Kazuya's words, and looked at Echizen Kazuya with a firm face in a daze, and a look of struggle appeared on his face.

"Shikamaru, I need help, this matter is by no means something that can be done by one person, you can think about it, I hope to get your support, if you feel that I have a mistake in my thinking, you must remind me, I believe that with your wisdom, you will definitely be able to come up with a way to let the people of the ninja world live a life like you expect!" Kazuya Echizen said sincerely.

"Boss, I, I," Shikamaru said in a trembling tone, although his IQ is extremely high, Shikamaru is only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child after all, his knowledge is not enough, and his thinking is not mature, and he still has no strength to think about the peace of the entire ninja world at once.

"Don't worry, even if I really want to do that, I still have many, many preparations to do, you can think slowly, let's be my secretary in the next time, see more, learn more, don't let your talent go to waste!" Echizen Kazuya said calmly.

Shikamaru gritted his teeth and said solemnly, "Thank you, boss!" ”

"Well, stabilize your emotions, and that's all for today's chess game." Echizen Kazuya stood up, patted Shikamaru on the shoulder, who was standing up with him, and said with a pleasant face.

"Boss, then I'll go back first." Shikamaru quickly returned to normal, as if Echizen Kazuya hadn't said anything, and said goodbye calmly.

"Don't worry, let's leave after dinner, Ino's craftsmanship is still good." Echizen Kazuya was still very satisfied with Shikamaru's performance at the moment, and said with a pleasant face.

"Then you're welcome, thank you Hokage-sama!" Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief and laughed lightly.

The next day, as the new Hokage's secretary, Shikamaru had to follow Echizen Kazuya to the Hokage's office early in the morning, and then he soon found that Echizen Kazuya called him for not so simple purposes, and many small things were directly handed over to him to deal with, and Echizen Kazuya himself just pretended to simply look at the results, and the main purpose of calling him a secretary was completely to be lazy!

Shikamaru felt exactly the same way he felt at this time as when Echizen Kazuya instigated Naruto to challenge him, as if he had seen the miserable life of burying his head all day to help Echizen Kazuya deal with documents in the future.

"Okay, don't keep looking at me with resentful eyes, this is also your responsibility, isn't Uncle Lu Jiu often having to help three generations of grandfathers deal with documents, you are a son inheriting his father's business." Echizen Kazuya, who thought that his skin thickness was okay, was a little embarrassed by Shikamaru, and said with a smile.

"Hokage-sama, doesn't your conscience hurt when you do this? I just want to live a life of lying down and watching the white clouds! In the Hokage's office, where there were only two people, Shikamaru wailed and wailed.

"Those who can work hard, with your ability, you can handle it quickly, so many people I think that only you can do things the best, and you must not live up to my trust!" Echizen Kazuya said earnestly with an expression of "I am optimistic about you".

"Can't you really change someone? I think they can do it well. Shikamaru pleaded.

"No, I'm most optimistic about you!" Kazuya Echizen said scoundrelly.

Shikamaru, who knew that he couldn't make Echizen Kazuya change his mind, had no choice but to accept his fate, looking dejected and listless.

"Don't despair so quickly," Echizen Kazuya patted Shikamaru on the shoulder, solemnly looked at Shikamaru who looked up at him with expectant eyes, smiled slightly, and said cruelly: "There will be long days like this in the future, just get used to it." ”

"Boss, you're too cruel!" Shikamaru pointed at Echizen Kazuya in despair and screamed.

"Don't get excited, it's just a joke with you, things still have to be done, it's not okay to be lazy all day." Echizen Kazuya said with a smile: "Okay, the documents are processed, and it is really much faster with your help, so let's guide you to practice, come with me." ”

Echizen Kazuya took Shikamaru to a training ground, where Inuzuka, Hinata, and Shino were already practicing their own training.

"Teacher, you're here, a little earlier than before!" Hinata who saw Echizen Kazuya arriving had a happy and delicate look.

"I had Shikamaru help with the documents today, so it was a lot faster." Kazuya Echizen patted Shikamaru on the shoulder with a pleasant face.

"Really? Shikamaru is so powerful, I can help the teacher with documents, and I hope I can help the teacher! Hinata said in an expectant tone.

"It's a lot of trouble, if I could, I wouldn't want to." Shikamaru pursed his lips and said unhappily.

"Teacher, I can't wait to see the ceremony of your succession to the Hokage, it must be very grand!" Inuzuka interjected.

"It's going to be a few days, but it's going to be soon, there will definitely be a lot of things going on that day, and I'll need your help then." Kazuya Echizen said with a smile.

"Really? What do we need to do? Hinata said positively.

"Well, I haven't experienced things like receiving friends, preparing various items, etc." Echizen Kazuya said helplessly: "Okay, start today's practice, some of you should soon become a middle ninja, and you need to be alone in the future, so you must hurry up and practice at this time!" ”

"Teacher, who is the one who became the middle ninja? You already know that, so tell us about it. Inuzuka asked expectantly.

"I don't know yet, it's the three generations of adults and the other judges who decided this matter, because there was an accident, and some of the big names have already left Konoha Village, so it should take a while for them to reach a consensus," Echizen Kazuya said with a smile: "But with your ability, even if you can't become a middle ninja this time, it will definitely be no problem next time!" ”

"That's it, but I was eliminated by Ino in the first round, and this time it's probably hard to become a middle ninja, so I have to work harder." Inuzuka said with a fighting spirit.

"I was also eliminated in the first round, and I guess it's no fun." Shikamaru said disapprovingly.

"You're all right, there's still me here who didn't even pass the official exam!" The oil girl Shino pushed his glasses and said in a calm tone, he was afraid that if he didn't make a sound, he would be ignored again.

"Actually, your performance is good, you still have a great chance, and Shino's strength is enough to become a middle ninja." Kazuya Echizen said with a smile.

In fact, the ninja becomes the middle ninja is not only through the way of the joint ninja exam held by various countries, the ninja exam is a platform for each ninja village to show its combat strength, there are only two sessions a year, so many ninja villages add up, only sixteen people have the opportunity to become a ninja at most every year, and this is absolutely impossible to meet the needs of the ninja village.

In fact, as long as the strength and the amount of tasks completed meet the standard of becoming a middle ninja, each ninja village can assess the lower ninja itself and let them be promoted to the middle ninja, and those who choose to take the middle ninja exam are often those who have full confidence in their own strength and want to contribute to their own ninja village.

If someone with enough ability such as Shino Oil, if he is really in a hurry to become a middle ninja, then he only needs to apply for promotion to Echizen Kazuya, and then pass the assessment in the village, and he doesn't have to wait until the middle ninja exam jointly held by the allies.
