Chapter 247: The Beginning

The third test of the Chinese ninja, whose theme is the knockout round, ended in the reluctance of many viewers - such a rare ninja duel, a head-to-head match, is not something that can be seen often for viewers whose theme is mostly ordinary people.

In fact, the statement of grading according to the table xiàn, so as to promote the middle ninja, itself seems to be a bit idealistic, and from another point of view, the underlying line of this sentence is: I say you are qualified, you are qualified.

As for the opinions of other ninja village leaders, and even the daimyo? How could a ninja from an outer village be qualified to criticize the internal selection of other ninja villages, and how much did an ordinary person like a daimyo know about ninjas? This statement is just to motivate the candidates to express more.

Really deciding whether the Konoha Village candidates are promoted or not, it is completely Konoha Village's own business, and it has little to do with outsiders, but it is just necessary to pay attention to the issue of external public opinion, after all, the Zhongnin Exam is a display stage jointly organized by various countries, and its reputation must be guaranteed, but now Hinata Ningji, Li Luo and Oil Girl Shino are all very good in the exam, especially Hinata Ningji, who became the final winner in this knockout match, and wants to come * After this competition, he will also break into some fame in the ninja world.

Konoha Village is not worried that the promotion of the three of them to the middle ninja under the pretext of the middle ninja exam form xiàn will cause criticism from outsiders - they are qualified!

Naturally, after the game, after the careful treatment of the medical ninja, the three shinobi who quickly recovered from their injuries were summoned as soon as possible, and Tsunade personally conveyed the news of their successful promotion to the middle ninja, as well as the first mission ...... after becoming the middle ninja, the mission to the fog hidden village!

The three people who heard the task were a little stunned.

Diplomacy is no trivial matter, and this task will certainly not be simple. The nimble-minded oil girl Shino and Hinata Ninji affirmed this almost immediately.

As the two expected, Tsunade then asked Kato to mute and inform Shikamaru, Jiraiya, and Koharu to enter the conference room, and after explaining the task, the three of them understood how heavy their responsibilities were.

Defeat all ninjas of the same age in the Fog Hidden Village, even ninjas of the same level, this is the "mission" they must complete.

"This will be a difficult war, weak begging or bluffing shouts are useless for Ninja Village, only if they show enough strength can they let people sit down at the negotiating table calmly, Konoha Village doesn't want to have a war with Fog Hidden Village for the time being, so we must let them sit down obediently and discuss things with us." As the person who raised the task, it was natural to supplement Tsunade's explanation, Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief, and said sternly: "The three of you are all the best in this exam, you must show your morale and prestige in the next battle with Wuyin Village, and try not to kill in the battle, but you must consider your own safety first, but there is one thing I must make clear - we can't lose this battle!" ”

Only the perfect battle record and the strength that people look up to can completely suppress the Fog Hidden Village, shatter all their pride and unrealistic illusions, and make them feel the gap between them and the Konoha Village more truly, which can make them no longer consider forming an alliance with the Cloud Hidden Village, including Shikamaru, as long as one of the four Konoha ninjas loses the battle with the Fog Ninja, they will be despised, weakening the results of the battle, and making the negotiation less smooth.

And Shikamaru's task is even heavier, he has to face the many shinobi in the Fog Hidden Village independently!

Although they are all the same age, Hinata Ningji and Li Luo are one year older than Shikamaru, but at this time, facing Shikamaru with a low tone and a stern expression, the three teenagers who have just become a middle ninja still can't help but nod their heads.

Very good! Tsunade and Jiraiya looked at Shikamaru's appearance and nodded secretly, this young man has formed the aura that a true decision-maker has.

As a shinobi, the commander of a battlefield, you may be approachable or even honest and kind in normal times, but you must have enough aura to let your subordinates and companions strictly carry out your every command when necessary.

War and ninja fighting is not a game, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, there is no time to make a decision to engage in democratic voting, many times the commander needs to make his own choice, not to mention the face of many unexpected factors, a real ninja must be a leader who can be trusted, iron and blood, ruthless or tough, in short, there must be a momentum that can "suppress" others.

Shikamaru obviously knows this well, or he has been gradually paving the way in the hearts of many Xiaoqiang since a long time ago, since the beginning of the ninja school, he has been trying to "throw off" everyone, widen the distance between them and these people, so that they can gradually become only looking up to themselves, and even become a teacher and friend, so that everyone has always maintained a sense of fear of themselves in their hearts, and now they can even command them like an arm.

…………

Hinata Ningji, Li Luo, and Shino Oil, who had just finished a hard battle, naturally couldn't set off with the team immediately, but they could only recuperate for two days, and then follow Shikamaru and others to start their journey.

Including Shikamaru, the first destination of the six Konoha ninjas is the country of waves, Kobayashi Keiyuan set off to rush there long before the Konoha side acted, and the seven people will meet in the country of waves, and then go to the country of water by sea, the purpose, personnel and time of the exchange have been notified to the country of water, and there is no need to let the other party misunderstand.

Among the six people, only Shikamaru felt a little emotional about the first stop to go to the country of waves, and after a year, returning to the battlefield where he became famous made him feel a little inexplicable.

Feeling the passage of time? Repent and redress one's errors?

No, Shikamaru just wants to think that the unstoppable peach land will not be cut again, and now it is just a handful of loess, even if he has a great name, and now outsiders will only say when they mention him: "Ah, the man who is known as the 'ghost man'?" Didn't he die at the hands of a teenager in Konoha? He may add with disdain: "That's it." Or, "It's in vain." ”

Nowadays, the name "Shikamaru Bridge" is more well-known than the word "ghost man" that once made countless people feel terrified when they heard it—how can people remember that he is just a dead man, and he doesn't even have much left behind?

The threat of death is really breathless.

When you disappear from this world, time will gradually erase all traces of your stay here, the memories of loved ones, friends, and the minds of others.

Your image may be changed, your original intentions may be misunderstood, your system may be ......, or it may be distorted.

Shikamaru's brows gradually furrowed, and the human system is always changing, progressing, and adjusting, with the times, with the environment, with things.

No one dares to say that they can create a perfect system that does not need to be changed from the beginning, human beings are constantly improving, and no matter how good the system is, it will gradually become old and unbearable, and changes must be made, so how to ensure that future changes do not go against their original intentions?

Shikamaru suddenly realized that he still had a long way to go, and becoming a Hokage was by no means the end of this path, and it could even be said that it was just another starting point?
