Chapter 20: Shino vs. Shikamaru
"In the second round, Shino the oil girl vs. Shikamaru Nara, please prepare."
Sakura Haruno stood up and walked to the railing, wanting to see the duel between the two people on the IQ ceiling in Konoha Xiaoqiang.
"It's a nuisance." Shikamaru stood in the stands scratching his head, not quite wanting to fight Shino.
is also a famous Konoha family, he knows how troublesome this guy is, but this is only a qualifier, and the abstention is not good, so he can only play.
Shikamaru thought a little helplessly in his heart, glanced at Shino, and went down from the passage away from Shino's side.
Shino glanced at Shikamaru and silently went down from the passage next to him.
The two went to the central field and stood opposite each other, and the moonlight wind came to confirm, glanced at the two of them, and said, "Begin!" ”
Before the moonlight blast spoke, Shikamaru jumped back directly, as far away from Shino as possible.
Shino stood still, wearing sunglasses that made people unable to see their eyes.
Shikamaru stared at Shino's every move from a distance, thinking of a way to win, and Shino stood in place, and the insects in his body seeped out from the soles of his feet and spread from the ground to the other party.
On the surface, the two are at a stalemate.
"What are you doing, why don't you move?" Naruto asked, puzzled.
Sakura Haruno didn't explain because she couldn't read it either.
"Look good, Naruto, these two have qualities that are exactly what you are missing." Kakashi said as he stood behind the two of them at some point.
"Really?" Naruto looked at the two in the center of the field with a suspicious expression.
Shikamaru and Shino are still facing off, and neither side has made the first move. It's just that Shino's parasite is active underground, and it's about to surround Shikamaru, so I don't know if he found it.
"Shikamaru, you've lost." Shino said lightly.
"Really?" Shikamaru smiled and jumped up, a kunai with an detonation charm stuck on the ground.
With a bang, the mud and sand mixed with insects exploded all over the sky, and at the same time, a shadow hit Shino along the smoke and dust.
But the speed of the shadow is too slow, and it is easy for Shino to dodge.
Shino kept backing until a certain distance and the shadow stopped advancing.
Shino wanted to take a step back again, just lifted his foot, and put it down again.
The back is not far from the wall, and it is about to enter the shadow range of the wall.
"I see." Shino stopped and looked at the shadow not far from him.
"I wanted to keep your shadow out of reach by closing the distance, but I ignored the size of the field." Zhi Nai said lightly, raised his head and said: "However, retreating is just for insurance, according to my estimate, your shadow is at most this distance." ”
"Hmph." Shikamaru smiled slightly, and withdrew the shadow from Shino.
"It's my turn next." Shino's fingers moved slightly, and countless insects densely followed the ground and feared Shikamaru.
"The secret art of the Nara family, as long as your shadow can't reach me, you can't do anything." Shino stood calmly in place, watching the bugs surround Shikamaru.
Shikamaru frowned slightly, took out a few thumb-sized balls from his waist bag and threw them on the ground, and the red smoke exploded instantly.
This is an anthelmintic medicine he specially prepared for the exam, which was originally intended to be used in the forest, but he didn't expect to use it here.
The insects around Shikamaru were slightly dispersed by the red smoke, and he covered his nose and jumped backwards for a distance.
Seeing this, Shino took a few steps forward, wanting to stay away from the shadow of the wall behind him.
However, just a few steps forward, I suddenly found that I couldn't move.
"Hehe, fooled."
The red smoke cleared, and Shikamaru crouched on the ground, holding the seal of the Shadow Imitation Jutsu in his hand.
Shino's expression fluctuated for the first time, frowning slightly, looking at his feet.
A shadow stretched out from where the bug had just burrowed, and stretched to his feet.
"I see, from underground?" Shino looked at Shikamaru and said, "But, even so, I can control insects, so what can you do?" ”
Shikamaru smiled slightly bitterly when he heard this, indeed, he didn't seem to have much to do.
The surrounding insects are constantly approaching Shikamaru, and as long as they are entangled, Shikamaru will definitely lose.
Either Shikamaru will figure out a way to win during this time, or he will be subdued by Shino with bugs.
"Shino, are you worried?" Shikamaru suddenly asked with a smile.
"Why?" I couldn't tell what he was thinking from Shino's face.
"We've been classmates for so long, and it's the first time I've seen you talk so much, could it be that something happened in the past few months of being a ninja?" Shikamaru smiled, his index finger running through the kunai's ring and turning slightly.
"I don't think so, after all, we are all current endurances, and we haven't experienced too troublesome tasks." Shikamaru said as he raised his leg and approached Shino, ignoring the insects under his feet.
"Before, I thought that there was a problem with my family's medicine, and your bugs were not afraid at all." Shikamaru glanced at the insects on the ground and stepped out, and the insects dispersed.
"Sure enough, you're forcibly comforting these bugs." Shikamaru smiled confidently and kept closing the distance between him and Shino until the distance between the two was close enough to just one body.
Shikamaru raised his hand, and Shino also raised his hand, but Shikamaru had kunai in his hand, and Shino had kunai in his hand.
"It's over." Shikamaru put the kunai around Shino's neck.
Shino looked at him calmly and said, "Not necessarily, Shikamaru, you shouldn't be near me." ”
Shikamaru was startled, his hand moved slightly, and then suddenly stopped.
He could feel something moving over his shoulder.
"When?" Shikamaru asked with a wry smile.
"When you're near me." Shino said calmly.
"As insect messengers, we don't be defenseless against insect repellents." Shino maintained the same posture as Shikamaru and said, "Indeed, your insect repellent has a great effect on ordinary parasites, making my bugs retreat. ”
"However, this is a bug that I specially cultivated, and its resistance has improved in all aspects."
Shikamaru listened quietly, and retracted his shadow imitation technique on Shino at his feet, his chakra was not much, and he was about to run out.
"Did you give up?" Shino asked calmly.
"Of course, there's nothing to struggle with." Shikamaru smiled wryly, and being caught by Shino's bug was basically equivalent to a failure.
Shino was expressionless, looking at Shikamaru without speaking.
Shikamaru touched a pill and threw it in his mouth, chewing it while slowly raising his hand, ready to surrender.
Shout!
Shikamaru's raised hand fell suddenly, holding Kunai and heading straight to the top of Shino's head.
Shino took a step forward, staggered away from Shikamaru, and hit Shikamaru on the stomach with a knee, Shikamaru bent over in pain, and Shino couldn't help but vomit.
In terms of physical arts, Shino is much stronger than Shikamaru.
But then, Shino didn't move, and the two were still with each other again, just like when Shino was shadowed just now.
"Really, it's troublesome." Shikamaru complained and took two steps back, and Shino followed suit, and the shadows of the two joined together.
Shikamaru retracted his shadow, and Shino fell to the ground limply, and his eyes behind his sunglasses didn't know if he was staring at Shikamaru.
Looking at Shikamaru's hand again, the turquoise powder was coated all over the palm.
"What I just ate is not a soldier food pill, it's an antidote." As he spoke, Shikamaru took out another pill and threw it into his mouth: "Special anesthetic, pour it as soon as you dip it." ”
Moonlight Blaster walked up and checked Shino.
"Winner, Nara Shikamaru."
