Chapter 61 Cooperation

An eagle's chirp echoed over the forest, shattering the silence of the forest.

"What's that?" Inuzuka kicked his legs, using the rebound power of the branches, after a somersault in the air, he landed steadily on the trunk of the tree in front of him, squinting at the birds that were constantly hovering over the three of them, and chirping, the red sun hanging in the sky was a little dazzling, because of the backlight, he couldn't see what kind of bird it was.

"It's Sparrowhawk, right?" The oil girl Shino helped the sunglasses that had fallen a little because of the continuous jumping, looked up at the falcon hovering in the sky, said uncertainly, and then looked at Akamaru who was running in front of the three people in the eighth class, and said: "It's not common, but it should be an animal that lives in this kind of forest, maybe it takes Akamaru as a prey, but I'm afraid of the three of us and don't dare to start." ”

…………

"Someone's coming!?" At the same time, Shikamaru, who was squatting on the ground making a trap, stood up, touched the thin sweat on his forehead, and after listening attentively, he muttered to himself with some doubts.

The repeated use of the body and mind transformation technique is too troublesome, and in an emergency, Ino may not have time to control the sparrowhawk to return to Shikamaru and Dingji first, and rashly dismantle the secret technique, and the sparrowhawk captured by chance will be uncontrollable, so Shikamaru has formulated some warning codes for some simple situations that may occur, and the content can be identified by the number of times the sparrowhawk chirps and the length and interval between them.

"What to do, Shikamaru?" Ding Ci on the side asked out loud at this time.

"It's just a squad," Shikamaru listened carefully, and after noticing that there was no more eagle chirping, he said, "Ino is watching them, don't worry, since they are here, we can simply launch an ambush." ”

With the traps that have been made, plus the two of Dingji and Shikamaru, although Ino can't fight, Shikamaru is still not afraid of any shinobi under ambush conditions.

Shikamaru and Dingji work together to eliminate the traces left by Shikamaru during the trap arrangement, and then Shikamaru enters the tree hole and changes the camouflaged bark, leaving only a gap to observe the outside world.

Ding Ci didn't enter the tree hole, ambush combat, not by stupidly squatting at a point, the enemy will throw himself into the net, if Shikamaru and Ding Ci both enter the tree hole, it is equivalent to putting eggs in one basket, Shikamaru's shadow imitation technique, in surprise to the enemy, can often play a very huge role, on the contrary, Ding Ci's secret body technique, known for destruction and power, the two of them are concentrated a little, and it is a small space, no matter who uses the main combat method, the ability of the other person is difficult to play.

Ding Ji's body, especially the opening of his clothes, is sprinkled with the potion given by Shikamaru, hidden in a dense bush, his task is to launch a second wave of attacks after the enemy steps into the trap circle and triggers the trap, attracting the enemy's attention, not giving them time to react, and also using shadow mimicry to control the enemy's time for the hidden Shikamaru.

"It's coming!"

Two short and sharp eagle chirps sounded from the mouth of the sparrowhawk flying in the sky, and reached the ears of Ding Ji and Shikamaru, making the two of them refreshed for a while, Shikamaru listened carefully, and in the distant woods, it seemed that there was a light sound of sandals stepping on the trunk.

However, just as Shikamaru raised his spirit, he found that the other party's footsteps had disappeared and seemed to have lost his trace, which meant that the other party stopped and did not step into the trap laid by Shikamaru.

"What's going on!?" Shikamaru has absolute confidence in his trap making skills, and he studied seriously when he was in a ninja school, coupled with his own careful thinking, and a lot of knowledge from his previous life, when it comes to the production of traps, even if it is a shinobi, he may not be better than him, not to mention, the other party stopped in front of the trap circle without almost the slightest hesitation, and obviously found a flaw in just a moment.

And in the woods, the three people who made Shikamaru wonder were Inuzuka Ya, Oil Girl Shino, and Hinata Hinata, the three ninjas of the eighth class of Konoha Murashita, whether it was Inuzuka Ya's Akamaru or Hinata's white eyes, Shikamaru's long-time trap was of little use to the two.

"What a complicated trap!" The broken eyes, as well as the protruding blood vessels like earthworms all over the temples centered on the corners of the eyes, make Hinata Hinata's fair and delicate face have a hint of hideousness, and in the slightest transmission of the eyes, the surrounding environment has been seen clearly, and it is difficult to escape the insight of these white eyes.

"Sure enough, it fits the character of this guy Shikamaru, but why did they stay here and not move?" Inuzuka looked at Hinata, and after hearing the other party's words, he pouted and said.

"You found us ahead of time, didn't you?" The oil girl Shino also looked a little puzzled, not knowing how Shikamaru found out about the arrival of the three of them, and was able to lay a trap in time and hide.

"Dingji hid alone in the bushes, and Shikamaru and Ino hid in the hollow of the tree." Hinata Hinata whispered to the two companions, and when she observed the tree hole where Shikamaru was, she sighed softly, looking a little strange: "Ino is lying flat on the ground, and there is something wrong with her chakra, it seems that she has passed out. ”

"Shikamaru they were attacked?" Inuzuka said with a surprised look on his face when he heard this.

"Do you want to take advantage of the opportunity to attack them?" Shino, the oil girl, pushed her sunglasses and asked Inuzuka.

"My target is all the candidates except for Konoha Murashita." Inuzuka pouted disdainfully at the question of the oil girl Shino, sneered, and said: "If you want to compete with Shikamaru, there will be a chance to do it in the later exam, but like this exam, the environment and rules are so powerful to us, it's rare." ”

Inuzuka said as he suddenly pinched his thumb and forefinger and put it in his mouth, whistling loudly, echoing through the forest and into Shikamaru's ears.

"Shikamaru, don't hide! We've discovered your hideouts and traps! After the whistle, a slightly smug voice followed, and Inuzuka shouted loudly, "I have a very good plan, do you want to discuss it with us!?" ”

"It's them, no wonder they can easily see through my trap." Shikamaru's heart was longing, Inuzuka's voice passed through, and his doubts were solved, although he had already expected that Inuzuka would most likely use the shuriken he had left at the gathering point to find him, but he didn't expect to catch up so quickly.

Lifting the camouflage bark, Shikamaru fell in love, slowly walked out of the tree hole, came to the open space not far ahead, and looked in the direction where the voice came from, at this time Inuzuka Ya, Oil Girl Shino and Hinata Hinata The figures of the three people can already be seen clearly, standing side by side on a tree trunk, looking at Shikamaru.

Shikamaru seems to be defenseless, but in fact, the clearing is surrounded by traps, even if Hinata Hinata has white eyes, if you want to attack Shikamaru, you must first clear these traps so that Shikamaru will not fall into the siege of the enemy.

"Smack!" A shuriken flipped out of Inuzuka's hand, waved his hand, and threw it at Shikamaru's feet.

"You're so careless, Shikamaru!" Inuzuka smiled slightly, the classmates who have always regarded themselves as competitors seem to be in an embarrassment at this time, their own side has the upper hand, this comparison of advantages and disadvantages makes him feel secretly refreshed, difficult to control - or he doesn't want to control the mood at this time - he spoke, his tone was even slightly reprimanded, this is the first time in many years: "How can you leave the ninja with your own smell in front of many enemies, and leave it as if nothing happened!" ”

"Aren't you here to talk to me about cooperation?" Hearing this, Shikamaru raised his eyebrows, chuckled, and said to Inuzuka, "How do you talk about this!" ”

"Cooperation!?" As soon as Shikamaru's words came out, Inuzuka Ya, Oil Girl Shino and Hinata Hinata were all shocked, not knowing how the other party knew the purpose of himself and the others.

"What do you mean!?" Inuzuka asked with a frown.

"This exam, for you who are good at tracking, is like a fish in water, and it is difficult for any candidate to escape your capture." Shikamaru said indifferently, what if the trap is recognized, Hinata Hinata is not Hinata Ningji, and the power of White Eyes and Soft Fist currently stops here, although Inuzuka Tooth and Oil Girl Shino are the best among Konoha Shinobi, but compared with Shikamaru, whether it is strength or experience, there is still a gap, of course, if it is Hinata Ningji's class, it will be another matter, Shikamaru will definitely not talk nonsense with the other party, and must strike first: "This is the second exam, it is predictable, There will inevitably be more than one exam waiting for us in the future, and if we want to eliminate strong opponents and competitors, this is the best opportunity. ”

Inuzuka nodded, this analysis has also been done by several people, and now that I think about it, Shikamaru, who has always been known for his brain, can certainly think of it.

"However, the candidates who passed the first exam have good strength and firm will, which is not so easy to deal with, not to mention, this exam is a battle for survival, constantly consuming strength, and in the end, the possibility of missing will become more and more likely." Shikamaru bent down to pick up the shuriken that was thrown to his feet by Inuzuka Fang, flicked the dirt, put it in the ninja bag, and continued: "You will definitely find a helper, and it must be a squad that you are familiar with, otherwise in the battle, you will not be able to trust each other, but it is better to act alone." ”

"That's why I deliberately left this shuriken," Shikamaru squinted at the three Inuzuka and said, "Actually, I also want to use your tracking ability to help me get rid of some candidates!" ”

"It was actually lured by this guy Shikamaru!?" Inuzuka Ya's expression is cloudy, Shikamaru's words, it seems that his previous aggressive and complacent performance is very white-eyed, self-righteous tracking and planning, it turns out that it is already in the plan of others, this contrast in mood, is really unpleasant, not to mention the arrogant Inuzuka Tooth, and the object is Shikamaru who has always been regarded as a competitor by him.
