Chapter 198: Zhongnin

(4,000 words, no paragraphs, everyone in the province is tired of reading it.) ）

Konohamaru looked at the slightly dwarf courtyard in front of him, and his heart was in a trance.

This is Shikamaru's home, a small two-storey building that is not simple but has nothing to do with luxury, and it is where some of the geniuses of Konoha Village grew up.

Since Shikamaru and the others returned to the village, more than a week has passed since Tsunade succeeded the Hokage.

With Tsunade's own treatment, coupled with the perfect and cutting-edge equipment of Konoha Village, and many medical ninjas, he finally pulled Akido Dingji back from the line of death, and is still recuperating in the hospital.

The deeds of the short book street did not spread, after all, Tsunade's words and deeds in the whole incident were slightly unbearable, hindering the prestige of the Hokage, even the big grinning Naruto Uzumaki was also warned not to talk nonsense, but among them, Shikamaru killed Yakushidou, there is no need to hide it, but Shikamaru already has the reputation of genius, although this matter is fixed, it will not cause a sensation again, after all, although Yakushidou is a spy who defected from Konoha Village, but now he is still famous, and there are not many people who know his strength.

As for the ...... Shimura Tunzo, although the Eagle, who suddenly defected during the operation, was appointed by the Shimura Tunzo, and Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Shikamaru also suspected that the Eagle's action was instigated by him, but because there was no conclusive evidence, they couldn't embarrass this one of the only three elders in Konoha Village.

The Eagle is an orphan, which is the best identity to shirk, and the adoption of homeless children during the war has a certain danger, so now all ninja villages have long canceled this policy.

Although it is impossible to shake the position of Shimura Danzo with this, Tsunade is not ready to give up, and just waits for some recent things to be done, so he uses this as an excuse to conduct a thorough investigation of the former "root" members who are still controlled by Shimura Danzo.

It's a pity that the dark part is not fully mastered by her now.,The "root" of Shimura Danzang was originally a training institution for the dark department.,Tsunade can be sure that there are a lot of Shimura Danzo's chess pieces in the dark department.,These people are hidden very deeply.,She can only act slowly.。

Of course, these things are not clear to Konohamaru, and now that he has come to Shikamaru's house, he has come to give gifts.

Because today is the day when Shikamaru is promoted to Nakashinobi!

The fifth generation of Hokage Tsunade succeeded to the throne, in order to warn the various forces hidden in the secret coveting Konoha Village, the momentum was huge, and the tough personality of Tsunade Pu succeeded to the throne, and began to work busy, and some of the backlog of personnel transfers were first included in her work schedule.

The Zhongnin exam was invalidated because of a terrorist attack in the middle of the exam, that is to say, this year's exam, in addition to adding a valuable experience to the participating candidates, the results have been invalidated, after all, the last and most important exam is only about half of the time, and if the results are still valid, it is not fair to other candidates.

However, there is one exception to this - from the upper ninja ape to fly Asma, especially the upper ninja Chiba Yuan, Shiranui Genma, and Morino Ibiki to the book, and jointly recommended the promotion of Shinobi Nara Shikamaru to the middle ninja, which is not a big anecdote in Konoha Village recently.

One upper ninja and three special upper ninja jointly recommended, which is enough to confirm the qualifications of Shikamaru for promotion, and there is no possibility of suppressing it in public or private.

Konohamaru looked down at the wooden box in his hand, the antique sandalwood box had fine patterns on it, but although this wooden box was good, the real gift was a scroll in it.

It was his grandfather, an elder with the title of "God of Ninjas", a pair of ink treasures from the ape flying sun.

Ape Fei Sun's hobby is to write calligraphy, in fact, most ninjas have their own hobbies, which is not surprising, one is as a ninja itself, you need to relax, and some hobbies can cultivate temperament, after all, anxiety and impatience are not good things for ninjas. And this ink treasure, even among the many works of Ape Fei Ri, can be regarded as an outstanding one, and Konohamaru is also a thousand choices, so he decided to use this as a gift for Shikamaru's promotion to Zhongnin.

The gods of heaven and earth move with things.

Konohamaru asked Sarufei Asma about the meaning of the words "Asma" (the subtle laws of all things in heaven and earth can be expressed through the changes of all things), and he felt that this gift was suitable for Shikamaru.

He tightened the wooden box, took a deep breath, and finally knocked on the door.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of somewhat muffled sounds came from the door of the thick wooden room, and Konohamaru lowered his right hand and waited quietly, and after a while, he heard a series of footsteps coming from behind the door.

The door was slowly opened, and a beautiful woman with light makeup appeared from behind the door, and when she saw Konohamaru standing in front of the door, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she still welcomed and said, "It turned out to be Konohamaru, come in!" ”

This beautiful woman is Nara Shikamaru's mother, Nara Yoshino, and at this time she beckoned Konohamaru into the house, whether it is the only grandson of the three generations of Hokage, or a student of Shikamaru in a sense, it is impossible for Nara Yoshino not to know Konohamaru.

"Excuse me!" Konohamaru thanked him politely, followed Nara Yoshino's steps into the entrance, changed into slippers, and entered the living room.

In the living room, there are already many people sitting or standing chatting.

This scene, although it was not unexpected by Konohamaru, also made him breathe a sigh of relief a little nervously, and unconsciously clenched his fists.

The people in the living room are the many shinobi who are friends with Shikamaru in the same class - Yamanaka Ino, Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, Inuzuka Ya, Oil Girl Shino, Hinata Hinata, Li Luo, Tian Tian, Hinata Ninji.

In addition to Akido Dingji, who is still hospitalized, and Nara Shikamaru, who is being ordered in the Hokage Building to hand over the files, and Sasuke Uchiha, who can't resign on the grounds of physical discomfort, the twelve Konoha Xiaoqiang in the original book are all together.

They are all here to celebrate the promotion of Nara Shikamaru, whether it is age, or the experience of participating in the middle ninja exam, this group of teenagers, driven by fate, finally came together.

"These people are all celebrating Brother Shikamaru!" Konohamaru thought in a trance.

In a team, there will always be a core actively or passively promoted, at this moment, with extremely high strength and prestige, and the first Shikamaru to be promoted to the middle ninja is obviously the core of this small group, which can be seen from the fact that he has just been promoted, these people are invited to gather to celebrate.

Although the middle ninja exam was destroyed, these lower ninjas in Konoha Village are all candidates who have gone far in it, and they are already the best people in their class, and Konohamaru believes that if he is promoted to middle ninja, I am afraid that the lower ninjas who are in the same class as themselves and have the same outstanding strength may not be able to come to celebrate willingly.

"Konohamaru!" Naruto Uzumaki was looking at Sakura Haruno, who had been chatting with Nara Shikajiu for a long time, and felt a little bored, his eyes swept wildly, and he happened to see Konohamaru entering the house, so he yelled and said hello.

"Brother Naruto!" Konohamaru scratched the back of his head when he saw Naruto Uzumaki, because there were many outsiders in the field, and he said hello a little shyly.

"Konohamaru, what do you want to drink?" Nara Yoshino saw that Konohamaru and Naruto and the others were not strangers, so he asked each other softly.

"Flower tea!" Konohamaru replied, this is Shikamaru's favorite drink, because of learning from him and his own intention to imitate, Konohamaru has now begun to cultivate this habit, and he doesn't forget to look back and thank you: "Thank you, Auntie!" ”

Sakura Haruno, who had already noticed Konohamaru on the side, looked thoughtful when she saw the other party's performance.

Konohamaru has changed, Haruno Sakura, who has been in contact with each other for a long time, can clearly notice this, he has become more mature and polite, with some perseverance and calmness rare in his peers in his bones, his face has lost the obsession of childhood, he deliberately cut his short hair to the ears, and no longer wears a long and obstructive scarf, but wears a simple and simple costume, even if he laughs, he is no longer as heartless as Naruto before, slightly pursed his lips, but a little shy.

It's like Shikamaru.

Sakura Haruno suddenly understood who the familiar feeling on Konohamaru came from, thinking that the rumors that Konohamaru had been studying and cultivating with Shikamaru recently might be true.

Konohamaru has finally grown up! Sakura Haruno was a little happy, but she also thought a little gloomily. She understands that it was the death of the three Hokages that caused Konohamaru's current transformation.

Thinking of the death of the three generations of Hokage, Sakura Haruno couldn't help but think of Orochimaru, that ruthless and tyrannical powerhouse, even if it only appeared in her mind, it still made her heart chill, she really couldn't imagine how Shikamaru killed his subordinates at the hands of such a person, even if Shikamaru was also accompanied by members of the same "Three Shinobi".

Sakura Haruno didn't know the real battle situation at that time, otherwise I would have been even more surprised.

Not to mention Haruno Sakura's thoughts at this time, after Naruto Uzumaki and Konohamaru greeted him, he noticed the wooden box in Konohamaru's hand, and several of them brought gifts from several lower ninjas, but they were not very valuable, after all, Shikamaru was only promoted to middle ninja, and they were all lower ninjas, not much paid, and they were all semi-independent at home, and there was not much spare money, and ninjas didn't pay much attention to these.

"What is this, a gift?" Naruto Uzumaki said with some confusion, the antique slender wooden box really attracted people's attention.

"Yes, this is my grandfather's Mobao!" Konohamaru nodded in reply, and said the second half of the sentence, with obvious pride in his tone, as the grandson of a generation of shinobi, he does have the qualifications of pride.

"Mobao?" Naruto Uzumaki muttered, wanting to end up with the wooden box in Konohamaru's hand: "I'll see what ...... written." ”

"Naruto!" Li Luo, who limped to Naruto's side at some point, saw his movements, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, and admonished with a serious face: "This is a gift for the master's family, let's not dismantle it randomly!" ”

Li Luo had just completed the operation led by Tsunade not long ago, and although he had not recovered for the time being, he could recover after a period of recuperation, and he was even much better than the state of Qiu Dao Dingji, at least he did not need to be hospitalized.

"Oh!" Naruto Uzumaki was just impatient for a moment, but after hearing Li Luo's words, he understood, put back his outstretched hand, and said to Konohamaru, "The gifts are all on the table in the dining room, and you can put them there too!" ”

Naruto Uzumaki watched Konohamaru leave the living room, and looked at the shinobi and Nara Shikaku who were standing or standing in the living room, chatting with various drinks, and couldn't help but sigh and moan: "When will Shikamaru come back, I'm going to be hungry!" ”

…………

At this moment, Nara Shikamaru, who was being nagged by Naruto Uzumaki, was standing with his hands down in front of the fifth Hokage Tsunade.

Tsunade's acceptance of Shikamaru as an apprentice is actually a logical thing, the former is intentional, and the latter is a little confused at first, but he will not resist.

After all, he is a member of the legendary "Three Ninjas", one of the pinch ninjas at the top of the ninja pyramid.

As for proposing to accept himself as an apprentice, maybe it's because of the curse mark left by Orochimaru on his neck, maybe it's because of the Nara clan behind him, but for himself, there must be no harm, and his father, Nara Shikaku, also told him clearly.

“…… In view of your excellent performance in the Nakanobi exam, whether it was the late three generations of Hokage, or the examiner listed in the exam, they were all highly evaluated, and more importantly, in the battle to defend Konoha, you were able to take the initiative to take responsibility, successfully completed the extremely dangerous mission, reduced the possible harm to Konoha Village, and received a joint recommendation from many Kazunobi. Tsunade crossed his hands, looked at Shikamaru calmly, and said, "I hope you can go to the next level in the future......." ”

Speaking of this, Tsunade, who had been tightening his face, suddenly smiled and said softly: "Congratulations, from today's exam, you are a middle ninja!" ”

Shikamaru smiled as well.

Yes, from today onwards, he has been a middle ninja, through more than ten years, experienced large and small battles, wandered several times in life and death, defeated many strong enemies, and finally achieved today's status.

It's not an easy thing to do. Shikamaru thought in his heart, but the level of the middle ninja is not low, it is the level of the squad leader, and it will be held in the future, and the credit and qualifications are easier to strive for.

The former refers to the execution of the task, the working time (the important task to be handled), which also looks at the completion rate of the work and the task, and the specific evaluation.

Execution ability,In fact, it is a test of personal strength (strength、wisdom、Actual combat experience),After all, Shangnin is enough to contact many secrets,Even if I stand firm,,I must have enough strength to ensure that I am not captured by the enemy,Moreover, Shangnin is in the battlefield,It is already the main general and decision-maker of one side,Not only to rush ahead,To prevent hostile forces from carrying out decapitation operations,No matter what,Personal combat power should not be low。

To some extent, as long as you are politically qualified and your personal strength is sufficient, you can be promoted from the middle ninja to the upper ninja at any time, but it is not as troublesome as the promotion of the lower ninja to the middle ninja.

Therefore, Shikamaru becoming a middle shinobi means that he has taken a big step in this world.
