Konoha's Strongest Shadow

Huh.

With the attack of the Tentacle of Sand, everyone in the audience couldn't help but scream in surprise. Everyone felt very shocked, including the ninjas present.

Condensing chakra to control sand in this way fully demonstrates Gaara's power over chakra control. This is not something that can be achieved simply.

"Bravo"

"He's not even at the level of a genin."

"With this level, it's not surprising even to be called a jounin."

"Isn't Shikamaru in danger?"

The audience expressed their opinions one after another. Many ninja leaders and daimyo from various countries recognized Gaara and the strength of Sand Ninja.

However, just when several huge sand tentacles rushed in front of Shikamaru, chakra burst out in Shikamaru's body.

"Shadow Imitation Technique. Shadow Return to Heaven"

Shikamaru gave a soft drink and remained motionless. While the audience was stunned, three shadows circled Shikamaru and spun around rapidly.

The majestic chakra was stimulated, and Shikamaru seemed to be in the center of a black vortex, and the black vortex formed by the three shadows directly bounced away all the sand rushing towards him.

brush brush

All the sand tentacles collapsed, and the sand collided with each other, making a swishing sound, and then spread out and scattered on the surrounding ground.

The black shadow stopped turning and stood quietly beside Shikamaru, like three big black tentacles, full of life force.

And Shikamaru's whole person can be said to be spotless.

"Haha, who doesn't have an absolute defense?"

Shikamaru smiled lightly at Gaara.

After his shadow imitation skill reached its peak, he discovered the problem.

These ten shadows, under the control of his chakra, can do whatever they want.

This is already another level of shadow imitation. It is no longer about restraining the other party and asking the other party to imitate one's own movements.

Instead, shadows are used to imitate various techniques.

Previously, he tried to use his shadow to imitate Gaara's ultimate move, Sand Binding Coffin.

Now this move to Kaitian is based on the Hinata family's soft fist technique used by Hyuga Neji in the previous game against Naruto.

Three shadows replaced the rotating chakra, spinning around Shikamaru, forming a black vortex to protect Shikamaru from attacks.

In an instant, Gaara's attack was completely disintegrated.

It can be said that this is Shikamaru's secret shadow technique, and the Nara family's secret shadow technique can never reach this level.

In an instant, the whole place fell silent.

Everyone held their breath when they collided just now, and their nervous heartbeats seemed to have stopped.

But now, the audience suddenly burst into strong cheers, which resounded throughout the venue.

on the viewing platform.

Orochimaru took a deep look at Shikamaru, with an unconcealable light in his eyes.

"It's a bit beyond my expectation." Orochimaru muttered to himself.

"He is a member of our Nara clan, a genius among the Nara clan." Sarutobi Hiruzen also introduced proudly.

The Nara family was barely his direct descendants. Although Shikamaru's strength made him care, he only cared about it.

After all, the stronger the Nara family is, it is a good thing for him.

"The Nara clan is indeed very strong, but even Shikaku-sama cannot do such shadow control." The implication of Orochimaru's words is obvious. He feels that Shikamaru's secret shadow technique has exceeded the scope of the Nara family's shadow technique. .

"After all, the young are better than the old. The world will eventually be handed over to these amazing young people." Sarutobi Hiruzen also took a deep look at Shikamaru.

He felt that Kazekage's words were indeed correct, Shikamaru had a secret.

The shadow technique was used to simulate the Hyuga family's ultimate magic, which was not something that the Nara family's shadow technique could do.

He was also very confused in his heart, wondering when Nara Shikamaru had such a talent.

This is simply like another mode of Sharingan copy ninjutsu.

"Nara Shikamaru, you are very good."

Gaara's ecstatic voice came out from the sand egg, and his tone was full of evil charm.

"I am very good, but no one knows whether you can still be good right away."

Shikamaru drank lightly, then pretended to form seals and shouted.

"The Secret Art of Shadow. Shadow Lancer"

Following Shikamaru's soft drink, ten shadows rushed out.

The black shadow condensed into the shape of a spear, and the ten black spears swept towards Gaara's sand egg with a sharp sound of breaking wind.

This move is another shadow copycat move.

It is imitated from one of the unique moves of Gray, the Ice Shape Magician in Fairy Tail: Ice Shape Magic, Lancer.

The spear formed by ten black shadows penetrated Gaara's sand egg firmly.

boom

A rumble swept through the entire venue.

The next moment, the sand eggs that Gaara gathered to protect him exploded. Amidst the flying yellow sand in the sky, Gaara's body was penetrated by two shadow spears.

The sandpaper armor was also directly broken, and the spear penetrated my body, causing blood to flow out of my body for the first time.

"Blood, this is my blood"

For the first time, Gaara tasted the pain of being penetrated through his body. The smell of blood stimulated him so much that he went crazy.

Shikamaru, on the other hand, ignored Gaara who was in a psychotic state. He took back the Lancers, turned the shadow into a shooting state again, and beat Gaara wildly.

"This"

The audience was stunned and speechless for a moment.

Especially the audience in the wood industry, many of whom were girls who had been confessed by Shikamaru. When they saw Shikamaru at this moment, they were all dumbfounded.

"Is this random guy actually so strong?"

The genin of Konoha were all a little surprised.

Xiao Li's eyes trembled, looking at Shikamaru who was manipulating the shadow to beat Gaara, and murmured to himself: "Is this the strength of a true genius?"

"Shikamaru, you are indeed an amazing young man."

Haruno Sakura and Ino had also been paying attention to the game, and saw that the situation had completely turned into Shikamaru's overwhelming advantage. Even though Ino knew how powerful Shikamaru was, she was a little frightened at this moment.

In the waiting area.

Temari and Kankuro were even more surprised.

Is Gaara still being completely tortured like this?

"Oh my God, how can he be so strong?" Temari could not find any adjectives to describe him. He looked at Shikamaru as if he were looking at a God of War. No one had ever been able to make Gaara unable to fight back.

"Gaara" Kankuro also saw this scene, and he felt a little worried.

No one else spoke.

"No, Shikamaru is too strong." Uzumaki Naruto swallowed and his eyes widened.

"Their levels are obviously much higher than ours, especially Shikamaru. I wouldn't be surprised if he said he has the strength of a jounin." Aburame Shino saw clearly. In his opinion, Shikamaru definitely has the strength of a jounin. strength.
