Mixed with Konoha water everyday life

a month later

The third match of the Chuunin Exams, Naruko vs Shikamaru.

The game on the field has been going on for a long time, and Shikamaru, who has no fighting spirit, has no intention of winning at all. If it can count more decently, it will already exceed the expected goal.

However, as soon as the game started, he felt the merciless aggression from his opponent Naruko.

Shikamaru was a little happy at first, but he didn't expect that Naruko was still taking care of his face and allowing him to perform well. The competition went smoothly. The two of them went back and forth, and Shikamaru gradually fell into a disadvantage.

The two fought back and forth, and in this game, Shikamaru's performance showed, and it was almost time for him to lose.

So Shikamaru deliberately let out a flaw. As long as Naruko knocked him down, he could admit defeat. Such a result could be considered decent.

However, Naruko didn't...

Seeing Naruko retreating away because she had exposed her flaw, Shikamaru cast a doubtful look.

"Ah~ It's so dangerous. You deliberately exposed your flaw, waited for me to attack, and then took the opportunity to counterattack, right? Despicable guy, I won't let you succeed!"

Naruko, who was on the other side, looked at Shikamaru who was frozen in place from a distance, as if she was surviving the disaster, as if she was the one who was pinned down and beaten just now.

Shikamaru couldn't understand. What kind of drama was Naruko acting in?

My IQ is indeed a bit higher, but facing an opponent whose strength is not at the same level as this, my little Jiujiu is of no use at all.

It's true that he deliberately exposed his flaws, but as for counterattack...

Could it be that since the start of the competition, Naruko has not been letting off steam, but that her strength has become strong enough to be on par with Naruko?

This... Although I have often had such a dream in the past month, it must be reality at this moment. After all, the place where Naruko hit her is still aching.

Shikamaru was still confused, but he saw a smug smile sneaking across the corner of Naruko's lips.

"She...is playing tricks on me..."

If she just wanted to lose with dignity, she would have just taken advantage of the situation and defeated herself. Although her performance could not be said to be perfect, it was enough, but she still wanted to compete with herself.

This is all just playing tricks on himself, treating himself like a monkey, to show his strength, right? Shikamaru thought again about when Naruko became so sinister.

The clay figurine was still angry. Although Shikamaru had no fighting spirit, after being bullied to this extent, Shikamaru, who was already ready to admit defeat, ignited a long-lost fighting spirit.

Holding the kunai, he rushed forward.

Shikamaru was not good at physical combat, but Naruko's almost frenzied behavior would not attack even if she found an obvious flaw, so Shikamaru began to ignore the flaw in his attack and attack wantonly.

Since you have tricked me to this extent, you can either take advantage of my flaws and defeat me, so that your plan will fail and I lose decently, or you can ignore my flaws, but since you choose to ignore them, then you There will always be flaws, so winning or losing is really not certain when the time comes.

It's now!

"Shadow Binding Technique!"

Shikamaru's reckless attack finally gave Naruko an opening. The shadow under her feet quickly merged with Naruko's shadow, and Naruko's movements stopped completely.

Shikamaru looked at Naruko who was panicked but unable to move, and a smile that was familiar to both of them appeared on the corner of his mouth, a proud sneer.

Bang ~

The smoke dissipated, the shadow clone ended, and Shikamaru was the only one standing on the field, with the same smile on his face, but now his smile always felt a bit embarrassing.

Naruko, who was staying in the tree, also yawned and jumped down, rubbing her eyes.

"Has it finally been aborted?"

As a genius with an IQ of over [-], Shikamaru has never been humiliated like this. It doesn't matter if he is not as strong as the other party, but if his IQ is suppressed by the other party, what is the meaning of his existence?

Don't panic, don't be chaotic, stay calm, and win!

Shikamaru, who had regained his composure, should not be underestimated. He began to use the terrain, environment and even psychology to integrate into the battle. Unfortunately, it seemed to be of no use.

In the stands of the arena, Minato looked at what was happening below, with a wry smile on his lips, and said to the people around him.

"Sorry, Shikaku."

"It's nothing, Shikamaru is a ninja, he will always experience this kind of thing."

Minato nodded and said nothing more.

A seemingly ordinary conversation, without any nutrition, seemed to be just Minato's apology for his child's excessive behavior, and Shikaku thought it was nothing, thinking it was a kind of training for Shikamaru.

But behind this conversation, there are plans one after another.

The specific content of the plan is to delay time!

The executors of the plan are Naruko and Shikamaru.

However, Naruko knew the plan, but as the other person who executed the plan, Shikamaru, he knew nothing.

In order to ensure the secrecy of the plan, Shikamaru temporarily became the victim of the plan.

This was the reason why Minato apologized. The two of them knew it, but others didn't know it, including the Kazekage and Mizukage who were sitting not far from Minato.

The game off the court dragged on longer and longer. Naruko made no secret of her mentality of toying with her opponent. Shikamaru, who was rarely full of fighting spirit, never lost his cool and kept looking for opportunities. But everyone knew that if Naruko wanted to If you win, you can do it anytime.

Although Naruko had some flaws, her overwhelming strength made all flaws meaningless, but Shikamaru never gave up.

As the game progresses, it has completely entered garbage time.

The outcome of the game was already determined, but neither of the two people on the field seemed to have the intention to end the game as soon as possible. This battle had lasted for several hours, so in order to better watch the next game, the audience gradually began to urinate. escape.

A large number of spectators left the venue, some went to replenish food, and some went to the toilet. Only a few scattered spectators were left dozing off or starting to chat, and most of the chat content was contempt for the bad character of the Hokage's daughter.

The audience went back and forth on the court, and the game never ended off the court. Naruko seemed determined to humiliate Shikamaru severely. Shikamaru, who had never found a chance, finally began to have doubts.

If he didn't offend Naruko badly in some way, then something must have happened that he didn't know about.

After all, what others don't know is that Shikamaru knows Naruko's character very well, and even if she becomes a little shady, she won't reach this point.

Not to mention that the two were good friends, even if other Konoha people were against her, she would not do such a shameless thing. And Naruko's uncharacteristic behavior today was obviously to delay the game, or to If you want to lower the quality of the game, it's not just to humiliate yourself. Well, it definitely won't be the case.

This is also the reason why Shikamaru fought with Naruko patiently for so long. Shikamaru even started to act furious as he should, and took on a life-or-death attitude.

On the one hand, this was done to make things look more normal. On the other hand, if Naruko was careless because of his performance, he might still have a chance.

Yes, he still wants to win.

After all, even though he knew that Naruko might have something to hide, the face he lost was real. If he could win, it would be great.

Of course, Shikamaru also knew that this idea was a bit naive. In fact, it was not just him. The people in Konoha seemed to take the identity of the Hokage's daughter into consideration and did not say anything. However, the audience at the scene was not only from Konoha, but almost everyone from outside the village. They were all loudly encouraging Shikamaru, hoping that Shikamaru would fight back and teach Naruko a lesson. After all, what Naruko did was indeed unpopular.

And the result, unexpectedly, allowed them to get what they wanted, Naruko was defeated!

Naruko on the field seemed to be careless and underestimated the enemy. Shikamaru, who instantly recovered from his anger and reason, seized the opportunity and beat her to the ground severely.

Finally, the audience on the field burst into enthusiastic cheers. It turned out that Shikamaru's anger was all an illusion. From beginning to end, he had been holding back and waiting for an opportunity.

The arrogant and domineering villain is defeated by the protagonist because he carelessly underestimated the enemy. This is not the most exciting scene in novels and movies.

Shikamaru listened to the cheers of the audience and stood there in disbelief. He didn't know what happened just now, whether Naruko did it on purpose or if she was really careless. Will his sudden action disrupt Naruko's plan? , he didn't know whether he should continue dragging Naruko with him, but as the referee announced the result, the result was already determined, and he won.

He could see the whole audience cheering for him, and he could also see Hinata, who was trying to rush off the stage to fight him, but was stopped by her companions. He even saw his father standing next to the Hokage, applauding him.

"It should be... okay."

Seeing Naruko being carried away by the medical team, Shikamaru wanted to follow her to see the situation, but was stopped, so he had to return to the stands. Fortunately, the next game was Hinata's, so he didn't have to face her anger so quickly.

After returning to the stands, Shikamaru did not return to his teammates immediately, but came to the place where Hinata had just left.

At this time, Kakashi was explaining something to Sasuke. He couldn't hear the specific content. He could only see Sasuke listening coldly and nodding silently.

Then, Kakashi also noticed Shikamaru and walked over.

"Good shot, Shikamaru."

"Naruko, she..."

"Naruko, she's fine, don't worry."

Shikamaru actually wanted to ask Naruko about the purpose of doing this, but Kakashi only said a few words of affirmation to him, but this also made Shikamaru completely relieved.

He didn't know what Naruko's plan was, but Kakashi, as her leader, must know it, so what Kakashi just said should be reassuring him.

So, has Naruko's goal been achieved?In this way, she didn't know if losing to herself was expected.
