Chapter 45: Hostility

(Tears, the unit is over, and the update of the daily guarantee of 3,000 will be resumed from today, if the state is good, the author will try to do more...... ）

Since I'm Airo appeared, then Shikamaru's goal of wanting to injure Kankuro and Temari, so that I'm unable to participate in the middle ninja exam, has also been shattered, not to mention the one-on-one duel between the two, the outcome is still unknown - in fact, Shikamaru's strength at this time is still a step worse than my Airo - Kankuro and Temari are under the control of my Airo, and they are enough to exert their strength, so as not to fall into the end of the physical skills that Shikamaru is not good at.

Therefore, seeing that I, Airo, Kankuro, and Temari were leaving, Shikamaru did not stop them.

"Damn, that dead fat man who sang opera just left." Naruto saw that after asking Shikamaru and the other three Shinobu of the Hidden Village, he left without turning a blind eye to him, and couldn't help but be angry: "It's really no vision." ”

However, thinking of what Temari had said before, Naruto couldn't help but clap his palms and say to himself excitedly: "They're going to take the middle ninja exam!" I'm going to take it when I'm going to do it, and I'm sure I'll win the exam! ”

"What do you say? Konohamaru? The excited Naruto turned his head and looked at Konohamaru beside him, only to find that the other party was in tears at this time, glaring at him fiercely, with resentment in his eyes.

"Brother Naruto, you are so inferior, you disappointed me so much!" It was okay when the atmosphere was tense before, but at this time, the three ninjas of Sand Hidden Village left, and the mood relaxed, Konohamaru could no longer hold back the tears of fear, and while crying, he pointed at Naruto and sobbed.

"Ah, don't say that, Konohamaru, when the time comes, I will definitely teach that dead fat man who sings a hard lesson and give you a breath during the middle ninja exam!" Seeing this, Naruto hurriedly squatted down and leaned over to Konohamaru's side to accompany the smiling face, whispering comfort.

"Shikamaru," ignoring Naruto's tricks, Sakura walked over to Shikamaru, who had been looking in the direction of the three of them, and asked softly, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's okay," Shikamaru seemed to come back to his senses, smiled at Sakura, and then looked at Naruto who was comforting Konohamaru, and admonished: "Those three Shinobi of Sand Hidden Village are very strong, if you want to take the Shinobi exam, you have to be careful with them." ”

"What's there!" When Naruto heard Shikamaru's words, he scratched his hair and asked with some puzzlement, "That fat man and the woman with a fan, both of them are not your opponents at all, what's the big deal." ”

"Or are you boasting in disguise!?" Naruto touched his chin and squinted at Shikamaru with a thoughtful look.

"Have you forgotten how you just fell?" Sakura turned around and reprimanded Naruto, apologizing to Shikamaru on his behalf.

"No, it's not that I'm much better than the two of them." Shikamaru thought about it, and explained to Naruto and Sakura: "The person wearing a black jumpsuit and wearing makeup on his face should be a puppeteer from Sand Hidden Village, and he is not good at physical arts. ”

"Puppeteer?" In addition to Sakura, Naruto, Konohamaru, Udon, and Moe Yellow all looked confused when they heard this.

Seeing that several people looked confused, Shikamaru explained aloud: "The puppeteer uses the chakra line to control the puppet doll like a puppet, and there are many mechanisms on the puppet doll, and they are usually good at using poison, which often makes the enemy unguardable, and their main strength still relies on the puppet doll they carry with them, the sand ninja named Kankuro, the thing that is wrapped in bandages, maybe it is his puppet doll, I haven't let him have time to use the puppet doll, Suppressing him is nothing, and as for some details about the puppeteer, you can find the time to ask Kakashi-sensei, he should know more than I do. ”

"Brother Shikamaru knows a lot, where did you learn all this?" Konohamaru ran to Shikamaru's side at some point, looked up and showed a big smile, and asked with a little admiration.

“……。” Sakura patted her forehead and said helplessly to Naruto and Konohamaru and the others, who also knew nothing, "This is something I learned at the ninja school!" Isn't there an introduction in the ninja equipment chapter in the textbook! ”

"Oh! I remember! Naruto clenched his right hand into a fist and hammered his left hand, looking like he suddenly realized, but Sakura, who was familiar with him, naturally understood that he was holding on to the death, and he didn't expose it.

"Konohamaru, that's your companion, right?" Shikamaru turned his head, gently rubbed the hair of Konohamaru, who was standing quietly next to him, and said, "You have an exam coming soon, I promised Teacher Asma that I will guide you in your studies in the next week, and you let them come along." ”

"Okay, Shikamaru-samaru!" Konohamaru smiled, and hurriedly beckoned to Udon and Moe Huang to let the two of them come over, and then covered his mouth and said to Naruto with a low grin: "Brother Naruto, I won't get in your way!" "Naturally, I was alone with Sakura.

"I'll go first, Sakura-chan, Naruto," Shikamaru looked thoughtfully in the direction of the woods on the side, and said in a loud voice, "If you want to take the middle ninja exam, you must be careful of foreign ninjas, there are many who are resentful of the reputation of the Konoha Ninja Village and are hostile to the Konoha ninjas." ”

…………

"Interesting."

In the direction that Shikamaru looked at before, in the small bushes on the side of the street, two men, one woman and three were sitting or standing on the trunk of the tree, sitting in the middle at this time, a man with a robe on his back, a man with a bandage on his head, and only one eye was exposed, and he couldn't help but speak.

Seeing this, a girl with long dark hair standing next to her said, "He seems to have discovered us!" ”

"Sasuke doesn't seem to be here, huh?" Another young man with long hair, but a flamboyant comb, asked his companion out loud.

The three of them all wore forehead guards on their foreheads, and on their foreheads was an eighth-note note, and these three people were the three lower ninjas sent by the Otoshinobi Village to participate in the selection of the middle ninja - Thoth, Jin, and Sack.

"Forget it," Toth whispered, looking at the end of the street, in the direction Shikamaru had left, "But that ponytail in Konoha Village, be careful." ”

"I think he seems to be proficient in physical arts." Sack recalled the battle between Shikamaru and Kankuro and Temari just now, and said with a frown.

"Maybe, but our main target is Sasuke Uchiha, this man is a good man, try not to provoke him, so as not to cause extra branches." Thoth didn't seem to feel well, and he turned his neck hard and said.

Hearing this, Sack rubbed his wrist, sneered and said, "It depends on whether he knows each other or not." ”

"That's just going to kill him." Thoth said calmly, obviously not taking Shikamaru to heart, the internal elimination and selection of the sound ninja village founded by Orochimaru is very cruel, even if the three of them are just lower ninjas, they don't know how many fights and near-death they have experienced, so they naturally think very highly of themselves, and they don't think that other lower ninjas are their opponents.

…………

A few days later, the Konoha exercise ground.

"In battle, saving a little more chakra may mean that you can perform one more ninjutsu." The three children, Konohamaru, Udon, and Moehuang, were standing in front of Shikamaru and quietly listening to Shikamaru's explanation: "Therefore, the control of chakra is very important. ”

"Shikamaru!" Ding Ji and Ino didn't know when, they came to the training ground, walked up to Shikamaru and said hello: "You came so early." ”

In Konoha Village, becoming a lower ninja, or even an upper ninja, does not mean that you can not take on tasks later, focus on cultivation, and have a hard standard every month, this day is the day when the tenth class should gather to do tasks according to the schedule and rest plan.

"I didn't arrive long early." Shikamaru smiled, pointed to the three children who were acting as his students, and introduced them to the two, "This is Konohamaru, Udon, and Moehuang." ”

"Sister Ino and Brother Dingci, hello!" Meng Huang took the lead in greeting with a slightly flattering tone, and then Udon and Konohamaru also spoke.

While several people were talking and laughing, Asma's figure had already appeared from the path outside the exercise ground, different from Kakashi's laziness, although the atmosphere inside the tenth class was still relaxed, but this was based on Asma's patience and hard work.

After greeting Shikamaru and the others one by one, Asma announced that the tenth class did not have to go to the mission delivery center to undertake the task today, but instead took out three pieces of paper from the ninja bag and handed them to Shikamaru, Ino and Dingji respectively.

In the upper left corner of the paper, a large character "Shinobi" is very conspicuous, and a white-edged circle frames it in it, and inside the paper table, there is a stamp of the Konoha administrative agency, with "Zhong" and "Zhi" written in different fonts on the top, and a slightly more detailed explanation below.

"It's a bit sudden, but I've already signed up for the middle ninja exam for you." Asma saw that the three of them looked down at the piece of paper, so he said loudly: "This is the application form, this exam is not mandatory, the specific choice depends on your wishes, whether to participate in the exam or not, it is your freedom." ”

"But I personally recommend you to participate, although this exam is also a little dangerous, but it is a very valuable opportunity to train, after all, as a lower ninja, there are few opportunities to fight with ninjas, and through this exam, you can also see the strength of ninjas in other countries." Asma saw that Ino and Ding Ji were deep in thought, and couldn't help but say aloud.

"If you want to take the test, sign this application form and go to Room 301 at the Ninja School by four o'clock tomorrow afternoon." Asma didn't say that the middle ninja exam was a collective way to sign up, although he hoped that Shikamaru would be able to participate in the middle ninja exam, but Ino and Ding Ji were his subordinates, no matter what, Asma would respect their choice, however, he would still guide a little.

By the way, Asma seemed to think of something, patted his head, and said to the three of them—mainly to Ding Ci, who had turned ugly when he heard him say the word "dangerous": "If you do well in this exam, I will treat you to a barbecue - eat to your heart's content!" ”

“……。” When Ino heard this, he couldn't help but squint at Asma, obviously hearing the temptation in the other party's tone, and his expression was helpless.

"Okay, you three think about it, I'll leave first." Seeing this, Asma chuckled lightly and said to Konohamaru, Udon, and Moehuang, "You three should come with me too, don't disturb them." ”
