Chapter 62: The Great Enemy
() Chapter 62: The Great Enemy
Inuzuka took a deep breath and suppressed some impetuous thoughts.
Although it was unpleasant, Inuzuka also had to admit that Shikamaru was the head of his thoughts and speculations, as well as the analysis of interest entanglements.
In the subsequent exam, it is difficult for Inuzuka to predict the content, even if the content is clear, it is unlikely that it will be as beneficial to the eighth class as this scroll battle, so whether it is from the perspective of personal and team interests, or the previous resentment towards the ninjas of the outer village, this exam, the best choice for the eighth class, is naturally to find a team that can cooperate, and ambush each candidate team in turn with a numerical advantage, so as to pave the way for future exams.
And if you are looking for a team that you can't trust, you have to be distracted to guard against your teammates in the battle, calculate the gains and losses of the battle, in case the other party turns around and doesn't admit it, and can't give full play to your strength, but will be restrained, it's better to act alone, so think about it, in fact, the range of candidates who can cooperate in the eighth class is very small.
In Konoha Village, the veteran Shinobi and the nine newcomers have hardly communicated with each other, and they think they are experienced, and they have a lot of jealousy and hostility towards these newcomers who have just graduated from the ninja school and took the exam not long ago - if they stand out in the exam, these veteran shinobi who have taken the exam many times are not capable - plus the newcomers who think they have just graduated from the ninja school are too immature, making Inuzuka Ya and the same class of Shinobi become a thorn in the side of most Konoha Shinobi.
In the third class of the same year, Naruto and Sasuke in the seventh class have a very general relationship with Inuzuka Ya and Shino the oil girl when they were in the ninja school, in contrast, only Shikamaru in the tenth class, whether it is the relationship or strength, and even the certain tacit understanding cultivated in the ninja school, they are the best choice, Ding Ci and Ino are also more familiar with each other, and they are obedient to Shikamaru, and they are very good candidates for cooperation.
These information and conditions, as long as they are identified and sorted out one by one, can easily get the answer, and what Shikamaru has to do is just leave a hint to the other party on this basis.
"Hey, hey." Inuzuka pursed his mouth, wiped the tip of his nose with his index finger in a slightly embarrassed way, and said to Shikamaru, "You even guessed that we came back to you?" Could it be that there are candidates in this exam that you care about? ”
"Of course." Shikamaru had no intention of concealing it, and replied generously.
When the oil girl Shino heard this, she couldn't help frowning and asked. "Is it Rì Xiang Ningci, do you want to take the opportunity to get rid of him in this exam?"
Although they haven't met yet, Nara Shikamaru and Rì Xiang Ningji, as the two most popular shinobi in Konoha Village, not only do many people in the village compare the two with each other, but even within the Nara and Rì Xiang clans, there are also some clansmen who use this as a sign of this.
Although rì Xiang Ningci is a ninja who is divided into a family in the rì Xiang clan, but his talent and strength are not shackled by this, and he graduated from the ninja school with remarkable results, and in terms of physical skills, he is more appreciated by many teachers in the ninja school, and the task table xiàn during the lower ninja period also maintains an excellent momentum, although he did not take the middle ninja exam in the first year, which disappointed many people who paid attention to him, but more than a year of table xiàn, instead made the village, Even the clansmen who split up from the rì clan faintly regarded him as a rare genius of the rì clan to the clan.
On the other hand, the Nara clan is just a ninja clan who is responsible for providing medicinal materials for the village, and most of the secret techniques are assisted, and their status is not low, but compared with the old and famous Konoha clan, the Rì clan who is known for their blood inheritance limit and soft fist method, it seems that they are far from being opponents in terms of status and strength.
Nara Shikamaru is really known to Konoha because after returning from the mission of the country of waves, the praise of the Nara clan, coupled with many previous expressions, is also faintly regarded as a genius who will be the sole leader of the Nara clan in the future.
In this exam, two people who are known as geniuses participated together, and the clansmen of the Nara clan were eager, hoping that the geniuses of the Nara clan would be able to overturn the geniuses of the Rì Xiang clan in one fell swoop, so that the Nara clan would raise their eyebrows, and even some clansmen of the clan would also hope that Rì Xiang Ning Citong guò would stand out in this Zhongnin exam and prove their strength and status.
Nara Shikamaru and Rì Xiang Ningji, whether they want to or not, are destined to be competitors in this exam, and there is no room for relaxation at all, because there are too many expectations behind them, and no one wants to lose to their opponents.
These don't actually need to think about it, you can understand it, many Konoha villagers also know this, and the oil girl Shino naturally knows the situation of the two, so when Shikamaru said that there were candidates he cared about, the first thing he thought of was Rì Xiang Ningji.
Gathering the strength of the six people in the eighth and tenth classes of Xia Ninja, no matter how powerful that Rì Xiang Ningci is, he will definitely hate him on the spot.
Oil Girl Shino thought so, but unfortunately, after Shikamaru heard his words, he slowly shook his head, denied his guess, and said: "It's not Rì Xiang Ningci, I will deal with that guy personally, and I don't need to rely on your help." ”
Shikamaru did not deceive the oil girl Shino, of course his target was not rì Xiang Ningci, but an even more terrifying guy, the enemy of the middle ninja, and even the upper ninja level, just with the strength of the third lower ninja in the tenth class, it was not an opponent of the level at all, and it was necessary to use the strength of the third lower ninja in the eighth class, combined with the six excellent lower ninjas with their own strengths, to have the certainty of success.
Inuzuka's ninja dog, as well as Rì Xiang Hinata's white eyes, can ensure that the other party can be detected from a safe distance, and there will be plenty of time to plan for the environment, and surprise attacks will increase the chance of success.
A sharp and piercing chirp came from the sky, and a black shadow swooped down quickly, falling to the ground like a cannonball, but when it was still a certain distance from the ground, it suddenly spread its wings, reduced its falling speed, flapped its wings, and landed on Shikamaru's shoulder, but it was a gray and small sparrowhawk.
"It seems too early to say that." After seeing the sparrowhawk fall on his shoulder, Shikamaru waved his right hand, took out the string that had been prepared, and quickly tied up the sparrowhawk, and at the same time said to the three people in the tenth class who were looking at each other behind the sparrowhawk: "We found two fighting squads, do you want to go and pick up a bargain together?" Maybe the other person has exactly the scroll you're looking for. ”
"You don't need to worry about the reels!" Inuzuka pouted and said to Shikamaru, "We have the ability to find it ourselves." What kind of scroll are you? ”
"Scroll of the Earth," Shikamaru chuckled and said to Inuzuka, "just what you need!" ”
Ino went to visit the distribution of scrolls before, and the six shinobi of the seventh and eighth classes of Konoha Shinobi were so familiar with it, so they naturally observed what scrolls the other party was taking, but it was just because of the relationship between the same class, and it was not the first target.
“……。” Although Inuzuka was a little puzzled that Shikamaru knew about the scrolls carried by his team, he didn't care when he thought that Shino, the oil girl, was also inspired by Shikamaru before, and he thought of collecting information when Tongguò distributed the scrolls.
Inuzuka Ya put his right hand into the ninja bag, took out a scroll of heaven, and after a slight hesitation, shook his hand and gently threw it to Shikamaru, and said at the same time: "This is what we just got, and it is the same scroll as the scroll we carry, it is the scroll of heaven." ”
"Oh?" Shikamaru was not afraid of Inuzuka's deception, reached out to take the scroll, and after hearing the other party's words, he raised his eyebrows and said with some surprise: "I didn't expect you to get a scroll so soon." ”
"There's an eye-opening squad that wants to pick on us." Inuzuka shrugged his shoulders and said disdainfully, despite this, Shikamaru could still find a trace of smugness in the other party's tone: "We can't use this scroll, anyway, if our two teams want to cooperate, let's give it to you first!" But the next action should be based on our goals! ”
"Aren't you afraid that we'll be unfavorable to you when we get this scroll?" Shikamaru tossed the scroll and looked at Inuzuka with a smile, teasing.
"In this forest, even if you run, where can you go? Is there a way to escape our tracking? After Inuzuka heard Shikamaru's words, he was slightly stunned, and then sneered and said, "And you are only two people now, even if you fight head-on, you will not be our opponent." ”
Hearing this, Shikamaru chuckled, but just grabbed the struggling Sparrowhawk tightly, and did not answer Inuzuka again.
And when Rì swept Hinata's eyes over the tree hole where Shikamaru was before, he was startled and couldn't help but look closely.
"Who said we only had two people, Ya, why can't you even do the math since you got out of ninja school?" A crisp and pleasant voice came from the tree hole, accompanied by a silver bell-like laughter, Ino bent down and walked out of the tree hole, looked at Inuzuka playfully, and said, "You said there were only two of us!?" ”
Seeing Ino appear, Ding Ji also got out of the bushes, and stood beside Shikamaru with Ino left and right, looking up at the three people in the eighth class.
Seeing this, Inuzuka looked at Rì Xiang Hinata suspiciously, but saw that the other party shook his head slightly, obviously not knowing what was going on.
"Forget it, Tooth." The oil girl Shino said to Inuzuka with an expressionless face, and then turned her head to face Shikamaru and said: "Shikamaru, you should know that there is no point in verbal confrontation, this exam is rare for the rules to be lax, it is a good time to eliminate competitors, instead of wasting time here, it is better to act as soon as possible, can you find a better collaborator than us!" ”
"It doesn't matter if you cooperate, but you have to be clear about who is in charge." Shikamaru spread his hands and said to Shino Oil, "Next, I can agree to take the main action of obtaining the Earth Scroll you need, but if you find my target, you must give priority to fighting against it!" ”
"Who the hell are you talking about!?" Inuzuka asked a little impatiently, in fact, there was some curiosity in his heart, seeing Shikamaru so cautious and jǐngti's appearance, it was obvious that he was regarded as an unprecedented enemy, and he was not sure to deal with it alone, so he wanted to use the power of the three of them.
