Chapter 6 Cigarettes (1)

The next day, Shikamaru, Dingji, and Ino all arrived at the Konoha gate on time with their backpacks, and Asma had not yet arrived, and there was no one at the gate except for the doorman, so the three of them chatted leisurely and checked each other's blades.

However, Asma was not Kakashi after all, and more than ten minutes later, Asma's figure appeared from the other end of the road, slowly crossed to the gate, and came to the three of them.

Asma raised her right hand and said coldly, "Yo! A low shout, the Yamanaka Ino next to him was startled, but found that he was greeting the god moon Izumo on duty, and after handing over the pass to the other party, he didn't leave immediately, but lit a cigarette and chatted with the other party, in other words, Asma has no ninja vigorous and resolute temperament at all, and it is different from Kakashi's decadent and arrogant style, if it weren't for Shikamaru who knew the original book, maybe he would have questioned his qualifications, but at this time, it's nothing, a ninja is not a machine after all, Although the ninja in this world is also a high-risk profession, the status of the turn is countless times better than the world in which Shikamaru lived in his previous life, although the rules and discipline are still cold, but the ninja who has reduced the pressure of competition a lot, also has his own life and leisure, and at this time, maybe Asma is secretly observing the patience of the three people.

Asma left the three of them aside, and didn't prepare to leave to take the trio out of the Konoha gate until he finished smoking a cigarette at the gate, during which the impatient Ino was dissatisfied, but because of the presence of Kazuki Izumo and Gangzitetsu, plus he didn't know anything about Asma, he didn't have a seizure, and as for Dingji, he took Shikamaru as the head.

Due to the different power systems, this world does not have a great industrial impact on the environment, and large trees that are decades and hundreds of years old are very common, and Konoha Village is surrounded by vast forests except for a large avenue, and many of them are said to have been created by the original Hokage's Wood Escape.

The breeze swayed and rattled the foliage of the forest, and the sunlight shone through the fine foliage on the grass, casting patches of light......

This beautiful scenery made the three teenagers and girls, including Shikamaru, feel happy from the heart, and the resentment of waiting for a moment was also vented.

Asma took the three of them to walk leisurely along the avenue-like outing, occasionally observing the three children who had never been out of the village much, and at this time there was also a distance from Konoha at this time, so he stopped, and the three people who followed behind him also stopped when they saw this, knowing that Asma's real assessment was coming.

Asma touched her chin, as if thinking about something, and then thought of something, so she said lightly to the three of them: "If you want to get my approval to become a shinobi, you must pass the three tests. ”

The three of Shikamaru frowned when they heard this.

"Three tests?" Shikamaru sighed in his heart, it was clear that Asma would definitely not use the same test as Kakashi.

"But ......, teacher, we're already putting up with it?" Ino hesitated for a moment, still a little puzzled and asked.

"Oh, I'm qualified to strip you of your shinobi status." Asma said indifferently, but judging by her expression and tone, it was obvious that she would be disqualified from being a shinobi if she didn't pass his test.

When Ino and Ding Ji heard this, they wanted to speak and stopped, but Ding Ji turned his head to look at Shikamaru and found that he was just frowning, but he didn't have any other expressions, and then thought of what Shikamaru said to the two of them on the rooftop yesterday, so he pulled Ino and nodded in the direction of Shikamaru in confusion, and after a slight gesture, he didn't speak again.

"So there's no problem, right?" Ding Ci's movements naturally fell into Asma's eyes, looking at the silent three, Asma's evaluation of Shikamaru further improved, but naturally he would not show it at this time.

Asma's body moved, jumped onto the branch of a big tree on the side of the road, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and looked at the three of them condescendingly. So, the first test - keep up with me before you reach your destination, and if you fall behind, you will fail! ”

As soon as the words fell, Asma let out an inexplicable chuckle and turned around like a deeper part of the forest, and the three of Shikamaru did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly followed.

It can be seen that Asma did not use all his strength, otherwise this test would not have the slightest meaning, the gap between the three of them and the upper ninja is like a chasm, if Asma ran with all his strength, the three of them would definitely not even be able to see his back for a few minutes.

Even so, the nearly an hour of non-stop all-out running also made Dingji and Ino feel a little unbearable, Asma's speed made the two of them have to keep catching up as fast as possible to not fall behind, Shikamaru is not as sad as Ino and Dingji, but it is not very comfortable.

Finally, a clearing surrounded by dense forests appeared in the distance as far as Ino's eye could see at the front of the trio, and Asma, who also saw the clearing, suddenly sped up and rushed towards the clearing.

Shikamaru, who didn't see the open space at the back of the line, found that Asma had lost his figure, and his heart tightened, and he jumped to the side of Ding Ci, who was sweating and panting: "Ding Ci! Grab my backpack! ”

Ding Ji hesitated slightly, but still grabbed Shikamaru's backpack with his right hand according to his words, and Shikamaru hurriedly took him to speed up and chase forward.

Shikamaru was relieved when he arrived at Ino's side, and as far as the eye could see, Sarutobi Asma was leisurely smoking a cigarette in the middle of a clearing in the distance.

After Ino and Dingji arrived at the clearing, they both sat on the ground regardless of their image, and Shikamaru didn't sit down directly, but he also moved his body slightly.

Asma looked at the watch he had specially brought on his wrist, smiled at the three people who were staring at him and said, "Rest for ten minutes first." ”

Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and also found a place to sit down. Ding Ci rested for a while, opened his backpack, and took out a box of chocolate bars from it, just opened it, Asma on the side was thoughtful, and said to him lightly: "If I were you, I wouldn't eat at this time." ”

When Ding Ci heard this, he hesitated for a while, but he still regretfully put the chocolate bar back, took out a small bag of soldier food pills from the ninja bag, and after frowning and eating two, he handed the bag to Ino who was sitting next to him, and after Ino ate it, he handed it to Shikamaru.

To be honest, although the effect of the Bing Food Pill is good, most of the Bing Food Pills will also be mixed with some drugs similar to stimulants, although Ding Ci brought it from home, and will not place these things, it is closer to compressed food, which is mixed with drugs to relieve fatigue, but in terms of taste, it is also difficult to swallow, and after eating the deer pill, he can't help frowning, and after returning the bag to Ding Ci, he tried to slow down his breathing, relax his body, and he didn't know what test to carry out for a while, and it was very important to restore the body.

Although the time of ten minutes is very short, it is enough for the three people who have eaten the Bing Food Pill to recover some of their bodies.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! Asma clapped his hands, and after seeing that he had successfully attracted the attention of the three people, he took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, lightly knocked the cigarette case, picked up a cigarette that bounced up, shook it, and said to the three people who were puzzled, with a rare serious expression: "In wartime, a valuable piece of information often determines the outcome of the battlefield, and whether the information can be successfully transmitted back to the headquarters is an important task for ninjas......

Hearing this, Shikamaru was relieved that he had already guessed the content of the test, and sure enough, Asma's next words also confirmed his guess.

"The second test! Within an hour, the three of you will hand over this cigarette to the middle ninja god Tsukizumo at the gate of Konoha under my pursuit! After starting, I'll stay where I am for ten minutes to give you time to plan and prepare. ”

Asma handed the cigarette to Shikamaru, and when she saw the three of them staring at the cigarette, she smiled maliciously and said, "So! The second test, start now! ”

The three of them looked at each other, but they didn't dare to stay where they were, and hurriedly walked into the dense forest where they came.

"What to do? Shikamaru? Ino asked Shikamaru who was not far ahead, "Maybe the three of us should be together, so maybe we can protect ......"

"Impossible!" Shikamaru interrupted unceremoniously: "The three of us together will not be the opponent of the shinobi, but together we will be found by Asma Sho Cigarette faster, and we must separate to buy time!" "But ......, what about cigarettes? Where is it placed? Ding Ci asked with a solemn expression.

"Of course it should be placed in Shikamaru, he is the fastest of the three of us." Ino turned his head and said to Ding Ji.

Shikamaru ignored the conversation between the two, and after carefully checking whether the plan he had just thought about had fatal loopholes, he breathed a sigh of relief, and after a moment of silence, he said to Ding Ji: "Ding Ji, show me your box of chocolate bars!" ”

Although Ding Ji was a little strange that Shikamaru asked him for snacks at such a time, the tacit understanding formed over the years still made him hand the box of chocolates to Shikamaru without hesitation.

"Shikamaru, what are you doing with the chocolate bar?" Ino asked suspiciously, and then seemed to think of something, his mouth opened slightly, and he looked like he suddenly realized, "Could it be ......?"

"One of us has a cigarette and the other two have fake cigarettes that have been turned into a magic of change, and if we can delay long enough, we can win this time!" Shikamaru said categorically, then took out a chocolate bar, looked at the appearance, sniffed it again, and explained to the two people who were looking at him with some regret: "It is longer and thicker than this cigarette, and the most important thing is that we must guard against Asma using ninja dogs, the taste of the chocolate bar is easy to wear." ”

The ninjutsu system that has been inherited in this world for many years has become more and more perfect and brewed, although some ninjutsu such as the change technique learned in the ninja school are of a very low level, but each one is an indispensable foundation for ninjas, and it also has the value of research and the foundation of continuous deepening, and the effects of different levels of ninjas are also different. Just like Transfiguration and Transformation, if the difference between the two things is greater, the amount of chakra and manipulation skills required for the change will also need to increase accordingly. Although the difference between a chocolate bar and a cigarette is not very big, and it doesn't require too much chakra, Shikamaru's chakra manipulation skills have also improved to the point of being a shinobi in many years of practice, but it is not irreplaceable, so why waste chakra.

Shikamaru casually pulled a few branches from the tree next to him, and made a seal with both hands.

"Bang!" With a bang, a faint smoke rose, and several identical cigarettes appeared in Shikamaru's hands.

"Give." Shikamaru, who was at the front, was slightly behind and walked with the two of them, and handed the two cigarettes to Ding Ji and Ino respectively, seeing that Ding Ji's eyes were still glancing at the box of chocolate bars in his hand from time to time, Shikamaru had to return them to him with a wry smile.

"Is that cigarette of yours real?" Ino looked at the cigarette in his hand curiously, the chakra that Shikamaru kept and stored on it was enough to maintain its change for nearly half an hour, and Ino would not be bored to use his chakra to make the residual energy on it chaotic to destroy the effect of the 'jutsu', so he asked Shikamaru directly.

"Nope! Dingci's cigarettes are real. Seeing that Ino was puzzled, he explained, "From the first test, Asma is enough to get some of our information, I am the fastest, if I don't harass and exert all my strength, I may be able to rush back to Konoha in thirty minutes, so Asma will definitely be the first to catch up with me and make sure that the cigarette is not in my hand." ”

"Then Teacher Asma will catch up with me the second?" Ino asked, Ding Ji was the slowest speed, and it would take nearly fifty minutes to get back to Konoha without harassment.

Shikamaru nodded solemnly, and said to Ding Ci: "Ding Ci, the ninjutsu that the two of us currently know is mainly containment, and Asma will definitely come to chase you at the end, so the cigarette can only be guaranteed to complete the test if it is placed on you, and it depends on you whether the three of us can pass this test!" ”

Shikamaru saw Ding Ci's hesitant expression, obviously not having the slightest confidence in his own strength, so he cheered him up and said, "Both of us believe that you can complete this task, Ding Ji!" Let the other party see the price of underestimating you! He turned his head to look at Ino again, and Ino also said yes.

Although Ding Ci still looked solemn, the encouragement and affirmation of his friends still gave him some confidence.

"Ino, if Asma-sensei catches up and finds out that the cigarette in your hand is fake, you don't need to go to Ding Ji to delay time, it's useless, you just need to keep rushing to Konoha." Shikamaru commanded.

"But if Asma-sensei catches up with me, won't it restrain my movements? How am I going to get back to Konoha? Ino asked strangely.

"Bondage? What can you do without being constrained? Can you catch up with him? Can you stop him? Shikamaru asked rhetorically: "Besides, although this place is not far from Konoha Village, it is always outside Konoha Village, if anything happens, Konoha Village will not be able to reach it, let a few Shinobi who have limited their mobility stay in this primeval forest, what is the difference between killing people?" The biggest possibility is to use illusions and other behaviors to restrict us for a few minutes to get rid of us. ”

There are quite a few beasts in this forest, and while there is not the slightest danger for a ninja, a ninja who cannot move is not necessarily the same. Maybe Asma can use ninjutsu such as shadow clone to stay by his side, but the three of them, first, can't keep up with Asma's speed, and second, they don't have the strength to entangle with Asma face-to-face, Asma can throw them off in just a few minutes, so why bother using shadow clones?

"After the two of us are freed from the shackles, we will continue to rush towards Konoha, as long as there is something that may arouse Asma's suspicion, let him give up chasing Ding Ji and chase us again, then we can delay more time for Ding Ji!" Shikamaru said, and then said to Ino, "Give me your ninja equipment." ”

"What for?" Ino asked suspiciously after handing the ninja bag to Shikamaru.

"I'm going to stay and delay, how about not doing some traps! My ninja may not be enough, Ding Ci's ninja bag is full of food. Seeing the worried eyes of Ino and Dingji, Shikamaru smiled and said, "Didn't I say that?" In fact, our strength is not in the eyes of the upper shinobi at all, so I will not be in danger. ”

Shikamaru picked and chose among Ino's ninja bag, took a few thousand books in his hand and looked at them, shook his head and put them back again, took some kunai, fire charms and smoke bombs, and returned the ninja bag to Ino.

"Also, you two, put the cigarette away, Asma said 'complete cigarette', so be sure to put it away, if it is damaged, this mission will still be considered a failure." Shikamaru advises them to protect the soft and perishable cigarettes, so that even if they want to hide them, they have few options.

Seeing that Ino and Ding Ji thought for a long time and didn't know where to put the cigarettes, Shikamaru saw this, and could only say helplessly: "Put it in the forehead guard." ”

"Ino and Dingji should be separated now." After Ino and Dingji put away the cigarettes according to their words, Shikamaru took a deep breath and finally ordered, "I'll stay here and set a trap to delay time!" You two remember to do what I tell you to do! ”
