Chapter 125: Tranquility

For the lively scene at the gate of Konoha Village at this time, Shikamaru did not have the slightest interest.

Get up at six o'clock, and then have dinner, Shikamaru started morning training, and did not rest because he was about to take the middle ninja exam, and after the end of the training, he began to point the ninja on the hour, carefully inspecting and maintaining the various ninja tools in the ninja bag, and carefully wiped the kunai and shuriken, if there is a blunt blade, it will also be sharpened, a qiē, a qiē, as if Shikamaru just regarded this exam as an ordinary task, and it seemed orderly and calm.

Of course, the middle ninja exam is not an ordinary task, and it is not a simple event, Nara Yoshino and Nara Shikahisa, who were born in a ninja family, know this, and the lower ninja has the so-called "body forbearance", which shows its status, and words such as "command" and "leadership" are absolutely inadequate, and the only thing that can be relied on is their own pitiful combat effectiveness.

In contrast, the middle ninja is a ninja at the level of the squad leader, in addition, he will also hold a certain position in the department in the village, and has another possibility of promotion, even if he doesn't want to take the battle route in the future, he also has other options, so the steps of the lower ninja to be promoted to the middle ninja, some of the Cheng dù is more important than the promotion of the middle ninja to the upper ninja, and the selection of the first line opens up a broader prospect, and the lower ninja in the middle ninja exam is also related to the future prospects.

Shikamaru himself is also aware of this, and because he knows the true identity of Iara, he also understands the difficulties of the next battle.

In contrast, during the original trip to the country of waves, when the tenth class of Konoha Shinobi encountered the encounter with Momochi, there was still Ape Fei Asma to rely on, but this time he could only rely on the strength of Shikamaru to face Iara, who was the pillar force of the crane guard, and even Shiranui Genma, who was the referee, might not be able to provide much help - no other, because the war could start at any time!

The invasion organized by Orochimaru will start at any time, and the ninja army from the Sound Ninja Village and the Sand Hidden Village will invade Konoha at any time and provoke a war between countries and between ninja villages and ninja villages.

This is not a small-scale encounter, but a group battle with the ninja village as a unit, Konoha Village has to face the attack of two ninja villages, the upper ninja have their own priorities, and the middle ninja are the backbone of the resistance, in this case, how many senior ninjas have the energy to take care of and take care of the lower ninja? This can already be seen from the original work, even the pursuit of the seriously injured Shouhe, it is necessary to complete it by the lower ninja, and the upper ninja can't even pull out, to what extent the combatants, especially the senior combatants, are missing, which can be seen.

Compared to small-scale battles, in a real war, the upper ninja and the middle ninja will be infested on a large scale in groups, even if Shikamaru himself has been called "Konoha No. 1 Shinobi", in this environment, it is not a lone boat on the sea, and the slightest mistake will be overturned by the huge waves.

No one can help Shikamaru, especially when Konoha is under threat, as Moonlight Blaste said during the preliminary exam, being able to get this far in the exam means that he is no longer a rookie who has just graduated from a ninja school, and he also needs the care of his superiors and elders, they have become Konoha ninjas, even if they are shinobi, they also have the obligation to maintain the village and fight to the death.

This is the first time in Shikamaru's life to face the war, but he has no choice but to participate in it, and even rushes to the front line to find a way to solve the power of Shouzuru, if it is an ordinary person, the psychological pressure generated by such a dangerous situation may make him restless, but in the eyes of Nara Yoshino and Nara Shikaku, Shikamaru looks extremely indifferent at this time, as if he is full of confidence in his ability, and he is not worried about the next exam.

Of course, Shikamaru is not full of confidence, thinking that Wang Ba's anger is overflowing, and as soon as the protagonist's aura is opened, the enemies he encounters on the road will fall to his death, but he understands that anxiety, fear, and excitement have no effect on his situation at this time.

Ninja proverbs learned in ninja schools and textbooks have repeatedly emphasized the importance of "selflessness", that is, the abandonment of feelings.

This is not to keep the ninja "cold", but to be able to have enough "sanity", the two seem to be not very different, but in fact there is an essential difference.

Becoming a ninja does not mean that you have to abandon your feelings and become a ruthless killer, they can still maintain their enthusiasm for life, and it is not uncommon for ninjas to love chess, tea ceremony, and even pranks, or in other words, only with enough enthusiasm and persistent emotions can they cope with the boring and hard training day after day, as well as the oppression brought by high-risk occupations.

But this emotion cannot be carried over to combat and work.

Sensuality represents hesitation and hesitation, enthusiasm represents impulsiveness and recklessness, and for life-and-death battles between ninjas, carrying these emotions in the fight is like having a death notice sent by the Grim Reaper, and the Grim Reaper himself is eyeing you.

Positive or negative feelings were of no use to Shikamaru at this time, and there was no meaning other than consuming the body and wasting spirit, so he was so quiet and peaceful, trying to maintain a calm attitude, ignoring the pomp and circumstance of the lords entering the village, and did not give up his usual practice.

There is calm in every major event.

The big battle is about to begin, and the next battle is sure to be tragic and abnormal, but the more it gets to this moment, the more Shikamaru asks himself to keep his composure.

The gentle and methodical movement of wiping the ninja's equipment, coupled with a serious attitude, allows Shikamaru to concentrate and clear his distracting thoughts, while the usual training warms up his body.

Recharge your batteries, that's it.

"I'm leaving!"

The sun is getting higher and higher, and Shikamaru, who has carefully sorted out the ninja equipment, has a good look on his body, and after looking at the time, he said to his parents sitting in the living room, and slowly walked out of the house.

Nara Yoshino and Nara Shikaku glanced at each other, but they didn't say anything, Shikamaru's attitude also affected the two of them to some extent, even if Nara Yoshino still had some worries in his heart, but he didn't know how to speak.

The flow of people on the street has increased, and Konoha Village has sent a lot of invitations under the order of the ape flying sun, and the other villages want to come to Konoha to watch the game, unless it is a high position and has a certain influence in the ninja world, otherwise this session is impossible, on the contrary, the villagers of Konoha Village are not restricted, and they can watch the game freely, at this time, the middle ninja exam is about to begin, and most of these people on the street are going to the direction of the examination room.
