Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 4School

Konoha Ninja School.

As a school that trains ninjas, it is naturally not superficial. Even in the system of evaluating heroes based on scores in the previous life, the school is still a hotbed for learning knowledge, let alone this place that specializes in training military personnel?

Shikamaru knows this very well, so naturally he will not be impatient or contemptuous. The tall buildings rise from the ground, and the old sayings are used, but they are wise words. Everything learned in the ninja school is the foundation. The knowledge learned in it will be used in the future ninja career Most of them will be used, so Nara Shikahisa can definitely think that the behavior of graduating from ninja school prematurely is a helpless behavior that has no choice. In other words, the difference between the age of ** and the age of 12 is only a few years, but during this time But it is the time when the body of the boy begins to grow rapidly. He rushes to the battlefield early without waiting for a few years, which in itself shows the problem. Those who think that graduating from the ninja school early is a good thing can only be said to be short-sighted. Many ninjas The knowledge that should be learned in school needs to be groped on the battlefield. Isn't this not worth the loss?

Moreover, in peacetime, no matter how talented you are, it is impossible to graduate from ninja school in advance. Without him, this is an inevitable behavior to maintain the system, and it will not change because of one or two people.

According to Nara Shikamaru, who is transcribing notes in class, the Second Hokage was able to break through numerous obstacles in Konoha, where ninjas were monopolized by wealthy families, and establish a ninja school that can allow civilians to enroll. In other words, although compared to wealthy families with secret techniques or blood succession limits, it is difficult to produce amazing strong men, but the difference between civilian ninjas with a huge base and wealthy ninjas prevents civilian ninjas from deliberately approaching wealthy families. Therefore, they will only identify with the strong with great prestige and strength.

The third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and the fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato did not rely on the power of the wealthy to become Hokage. Strictly speaking, the Fifth Hokage Tsunade is not considered a wealthy family. Enze, the medical technology that has been continuously improved with his own talent and hard work, all of these can be recognized by the majority of ninjas.

No matter how powerful a ninja who relies on blood succession limit or secret technique is, it is difficult to generate respect and admiration from the bottom of his heart. According to the previous life, this kind of person is the rich second generation. Subconsciously reminiscent of his background, it is hard to admire.

This makes it necessary for Shikamaru to develop new ninjutsu, and the current ninjutsu of the Nara clan is also very single and has great limitations.

If you want to develop the secret technique formed by the Nara clan with the change of the chakra nature of "yin", you need to have sufficient knowledge and mastery of chakra.Knowing this, Shikamaru naturally spends more time in practicing. At present, he mainly focuses on climbing trees and practicing seal seals. There may be a better learning method, but this is the limited knowledge Shikamaru has learned from the original book. And it is the most basic, but treading water requires a higher level of attainment.

In addition, I have to meditate every day. This is not just to refine chakra, but Shikamaru realizes that the excellent hearing he developed due to blindness in his previous life is of great use in this world. After all, even with an adult The human soul is limited to this body, and it is not as good as Uchiha, a wealthy family with a blood succession limit. He is born with a good body, can learn more with less effort, and has various special abilities.

What comforts Shikamaru is that in this world with the magical power of Chakra, it must be possible to train hearing that is several times stronger than in the previous life.So to some extent, it can obtain the ability similar to white eyes.

"I'm really envious of bats..." Shikamaru closed his notebook and stretched his waist. If his hearing is too strong, he will be like the protagonist in the movie "Daredevil" that Shikamaru once watched in his previous life. If you want to lie in the "coffin", the original strengths may also become weaknesses, just like Naruto's fart during the Chunin exam made Inuzuka Ya basically lose his combat effectiveness... In fierce battles, it is inevitable to use ninjas such as hot charms Too good hearing can easily become the cause of death.

But bats will not have such worries. Maybe after becoming a Jonin, they can study the ability of sound pulse and echolocation. Now there is no hope. Even in this world, it is very difficult to reach the level of bats. A large amount of chakra must be required, and without excellent chakra control skills, it is likely to cause serious damage to the auditory organs.

"Shikamaru! Let's go! Did you forget to test the shuriken application today? Hurry up, it's almost time to assemble!" Yamanaka Ino, who has long light yellow hair and beautiful light blue eyes, opened the classroom At the gate, he shouted to Shikamaru, who was still in the teacher's spare time to write notes, and said helplessly to Choji, who was hiding in the classroom not far away to eat snacks: "Choji, no wonder I couldn't find you, after class, you You can't go out to exercise. Minus..."

"Ino!" Shikamaru interrupted her suddenly.Although they are good friends, it is better not to mention taboo words.

"..." Dingci Nuonuo said nothing, neither protesting nor taking Ino's words to heart, but he still put away the snacks and put them in the desk hall, got up and followed Ino out of the classroom door with Shikamaru.

"You two are always like this, Shikamaru takes notes, Choji eats snacks, and doesn't go out to play in spare time..." Inoji continued to complain, the clear and melodious voice did not make people feel bored, full of vitality and youthful breath Girls are always hard to be irritated.

There is no need for Shikamaru to deliberately make friends, the previous generation of Ikacho butterfly trio has already begun to consciously cultivate the relationship between the three of them.As for what he thinks about Ino, Shikamaru feels that he hasn’t acted like this yet. He is so nasty that he thinks about the little girl who is only ten years old. It may be that he is too familiar with him since he was a child. Ino also likes Sasuke just like the original book, but Sometimes I also complain that my friend Shikamaru is always holding down his crush, so that he is always No.2.

"Well, Shikamaru..." Ino, who kept complaining, suddenly turned back to Shikamaru who was thinking about the problem with his hands in his pockets when he was about to reach the playground, and hesitantly said, "Can you..., in today's test, let the water go? Otherwise That nasty guy Naruto is going to say something nasty again."

"Impossible!" Shikamaru said decisively, looking at Ino's disappointed expression, he still said in a slightly slower tone, "Ninjas don't need to rely on pity to survive, Sasuke knows that if you do this, he will hate you even more."

"Oh, yes, you can't let him every time." Ino replied with a sigh after hearing Shikamaru's words. The cute girl like a doll made such an expression that made people want to laugh, and then seemed to think of What, her fair and pretty face flushed red, and she shouted at Shikamaru angrily, "What do you mean 'more'!?"

…………

The shuriken test in the fourth grade is of course not as simple as a wooden stake with a target attached to it like in the first and second grades.A human-shaped stake stands ten meters away, with small red circles drawn on the eyebrows, throat, and heart.

The invigilator held the roster and shouted to the noisy students: "Quiet! The content of this exam is a shuriken test! Candidates need to stand at the red line ten meters away from the pile target, and within five seconds Five shurikens are thrown, three of which are required to hit the eyebrows, throat, and heart respectively, and two hit the abdomen. The full score is [-] points for hitting the eyebrows and heart, [-] points for the throat, and [-] point for the abdomen and other parts. Off-target zero!"

After finishing speaking, the invigilator bowed his head to the roster and began to read the names. Generally speaking, the test is ranked according to the results, and the first one is Nara Shikamaru.

"Come on, Shikamaru, grab your shurikens. After I say 'start', you must throw the five shurikens in your hand within five seconds." The invigilator slowed down his serious expression and turned to Shika Maru explained.

A student who studies hard and is humble and polite is loved by the teacher no matter what world he is in, not to mention that his academic performance has always been No.1, and Shikamaru has maintained this image in the ninja school for several years.

"Understood, teacher." There is no need to have a stinky face all day long, with a look of national hatred and family hatred, and a bad attitude towards others, which will only disgust others. It is unforgivable for a man at the peak, and humility does not mean that he has no backbone. A person without strength will be considered weak and deceitful, but a person with strength will be humble and approachable.

Slow down your breathing as much as possible, concentrate, and wait quietly for the invigilator's order. Shuriken is also one of the key learning goals for Shikamaru. After all, the "shadow imitation technique. Shuriken" in the original book is very practical The learning of ninjutsu and shuriken has to be paid attention to.

"Start!" The invigilator shouted. For shuriken throwing, in addition to having Sharingan to cheat a little, the main thing is to rely on ordinary training to achieve the coordination and cooperation of the eyes, hands, wrists, elbows and other parts. Of course, a good Mentality is also important.

Five dull and slight voices rang out. Seeing the shurikens inserted between the eyebrows, throat, heart and abdomen according to the highest standard, Shikamaru let out a sigh of relief.

"Very good, Nara Shikamaru! Ten!" The invigilator smiled at Shikamaru, and then shouted: "Next, Uchiha Sasuke!"

Shikamaru, who was walking towards the team, met with Sasuke, who was walking out of the team. Looking at the expressionless Sasuke, Shikamaru still smiled and nodded in greeting.Sasuke also nodded slightly indifferently. Regarding Shikamaru, Sasuke wanted to surpass him before because he wanted to get his father's admiration, but now Shikamaru has become the first mountain on his road to revenge. But a classmate with a kind personality, Sasuke is a little complicated.

"Shikamaru, it's full marks again this time. If Sasuke's grades are still not as good as yours, I don't know how ugly his face will be." Inuzuka Fang, who was inseparable from Ninja Dog, stepped forward and hugged Shikamaru's neck, snickering.

Not only the teeth, many male students in the class don’t like Sasuke. This is the negative effect brought by the hatred of the country and the family. Although the little girls in the rebellious period like Sasuke who seems to be more mature and has a handsome appearance, the consequence is More male students stood against him.

In contrast, Shikamaru, who has excellent grades and is a bit popular among little girls because of his personality, did not arouse their disgust. How can a ten-year-old child who lives in peacetime have any scheming, and does not need to be too deliberate. Making friends, as long as you show some goodwill and friendliness when appropriate, plus good grades and never seeming overbearing, friendship will develop after a period of time together, although it is not as good as the relationship with Ino and Choji.

"Ya," Shino Yume, who was next to Inuzuka Iba, said slowly after hearing Iba's words, "In comparison, your grades are not even as good as Sasuke's. If his face is ugly, your face should be even worse. It's ugly..."

"Who made him such a bad fart all day long? Naruto likes to make fun of him. Why doesn't anyone make fun of me?" He said incredulously, and the very young Akamaru barked at Shino in a childish voice. A few times, expressing support.

"Didn't Shino make fun of you just now..." Shikamaru smiled, patted the shoulder of Inuzuka Ya, who has the same personality as Naruto, and joked

His teeth were flushed and his face was about to say something, but suddenly he pointed in the direction of the exam and said, "Look!" Shikamaru and Shino turned their gazes over, and Sasuke hit the eyebrows, throat, and abdomen with the first four shurikens, and there was still a shuriken in his hand. Riken, and as long as it hits the heart, you can get full marks.

In fact, it is not impossible to get full marks with Sasuke's current strength, but unfortunately, for some reason, the last shuriken was only shot at the right chest of the target, and he only got eight points.

"His hands trembled a bit." Shino, who was always calm and had good grades, analyzed and said.

"Yeah, maybe it was because of excitement. He was not very emotional at the end, which is a pity." Shikamaru said with some regret on his face, it was not a lie, even if Sasuke got ten points this time, it was only a tie with himself in this assessment That's it, people don't think that he will surpass Shikamaru, this is inertial thinking.And now that Sasuke, who is full of revenge, is a pervert who is easy to suppress when he is the second child of ten thousand years, it is meaningless if he resents Shikamaru for no reason, and it is okay to give a little hope appropriately.

Not to mention Shikamaru's thinking, Naruto in the distance saw Sasuke made a mistake and appeared out of nowhere. With a very annoying grimace, he approached Sasuke not far away, and said loudly: "Oh, the cold Sasuke got No.2 again~ Really amazing~"

He said flattering words, but his tone and expression were obviously not flat. A ten-year-old child, how could he have any scheming? Sasuke frowned because of his mistake, and turned his head with a disgusted expression. Go, with a disdainful expression: "The tail of the dead crane."

"What did you say!?" Hearing this, Naruto, who was elated just a moment ago, rolled up his sleeves angrily, and the instant change of expression had a comic effect, and said, "You brat, do you want to fight? "

Several students around were amused by Naruto's performance and laughed.

"Are you really stupid, or do you just want to attract the attention of your classmates? Naruto..." Shikamaru was also laughing, but it was a wry smile.
