Konoha's Strongest Shadow

The three of them had lunch together.

To use Shikamaru's words, this meal was really embarrassing.

Ino called it losing weight and didn't eat too much.

Choji, on the other hand, kept mouthing and just focused on eating.

The long lunch time finally passed, the temperature in the air was a bit dull, and sleepiness gradually came back.

Shikamaru walked at the front, naturally becoming the team leader, and led Ino and Choji to the classroom belonging to Class [-].

As soon as the three people sat down, the classroom door opened, and a strong man wearing a Konoha ninja uniform, with a beard and a burning cigarette in his mouth walked in.

Onin.

Sarutobi thirty-five million cough cough, Sarutobi Asuma.

Gazing across the three of them, Asuma smiled innocently.

"Hi everybody."

Asma greeted the three of them, then walked over and stood on the podium. Although he looked a bit fierce, he actually seemed to be relatively easy to get along with.

As a result, none of the three responded.

This made Asuma a little embarrassed, so she had no choice but to continue introducing herself.

"My name is Sarutobi Asuma, and I am your mentoring Jonin teacher. From today on, you will follow me on missions."

"It's so troublesome." Shikamaru said maturely.

Ino, who was originally lively, didn't say anything. She seemed to be affected by Shikamaru's passionate confession yesterday. She always felt a little weird when she was with Shikamaru.

This also makes the atmosphere of this group surprisingly dull.

"Ahem." Asuma felt a little headache.

"Now, please introduce yourselves to each other. You can say anything, such as what you like and what you don't like. Let me get to know you briefly. Let's start with you." Asuma pointed at Akimichi Choji and said .

"Hello, teacher, my name is Akimichi Choji. I like eating all-you-can-eat barbecue. What I don't like is being called fat." Choji said with a naive smile.

"My name is Yamanaka Ino. I like Sasuke-kun, but I don't like Sakura's wide forehead." Ino said with a smile.

""

Asma shook her head feebly. Sure enough, in the girl's mind, love still came first.

"My name is Nara Shikamaru. What I like is confession, but what I don't like is acceptance of confession." Shikamaru's introduction was also very strange.

""

Asuma held his forehead, feeling that it was a little too difficult for him.

As expected of Konoha's first Mekou Kage, this introduction is like no other.

but

What does it mean to have your confession accepted if you don’t like it?

If you don’t like to be accepted, why would you confess your love?

Purely disgusting

Asuma and Ino both looked at Shikamaru strangely.

"Ahem, now I have a general understanding of your situation. Now let's talk about another thing."

"There are currently 27 graduates of the Ninja School. The only ones who can be recognized as genin are those who save people."

"The rest are being sent back to school."

"Of course I hope you can stay. Of course, if you want to quit, you can also say so."

Asuma's expression returned to calm.

Shikamaru has figured out the situation, and he should be using the bell-grabbing trick again.

"I will never quit." Ino said firmly.

"Uh, I'm not quitting." Shikamaru replied looking a little distracted.

"Well, I won't quit until Shikamaru quits." Choji nodded.

Asma nodded in satisfaction.

"In that case, come with me."

Asuma turned and walked out of the classroom. He did not set aside a day like Kakashi did, but started the assessment directly.

The three of them, led by Asma, arrived in a dense forest in Konoha Village.

Looking up at the setting sun, Asuma put out the cigarette and took out two bells.

"Now I have two bells in my hand. If you snatch them from me before the sun sets, you will have completed your mission."

"Anyone who doesn't grab the bell within the stipulated time will be eliminated."

"In other words, at least one of the three of you will fail the test."

"Of course, you can use any means. Let me remind you, it is best to hold the form of killing me, otherwise you will not be able to grab the bell."

After Asuma finished speaking, he hung the bell on his waist.

It's this routine again.

Shikamaru felt contempt in his heart.

Shikamaru's face darkened visibly, while Choji still looked confused.

"Then let's start now."

Asuma looked at the three people who were silent and said calmly.

The core of this assessment is teamwork, but these three guys, and Ino were obviously thinking about how to grab the bell and didn't take this into consideration at all.

But Shikamaru and Choji looked like they had nothing to do with themselves.

This gave Asuma an even bigger headache.

This group is so weird.

But at this moment, Shikamaru suddenly stood up, blocked Shikamaru and Choji behind him, looked at Asuma in front of him, and said confidently: "Then let me do it, Asuma-sensei, you must Try your best, otherwise you will lose."

"Haha, if you are so confident, let's do it." Asma obviously didn't take it to heart.

Ino didn't say much, she was too lazy to waste time.

However, then, he suddenly felt a very powerful chakra radiating out, and then Ino's figure disappeared from the place.

"This is"

Asuma was shocked and was about to use the Substitute Technique, but at this moment.

But he found that he suddenly couldn't move.

"This is shadow imitation"

Asuma was shocked. Just as he was about to mobilize chakra to release the control, his right hand suddenly moved forward unconsciously.

jingle

The bell on his waist rang.

The sound was not loud, but it was heard clearly in everyone's ears.

Asma lowered his head immediately, but saw nothing. His eyes were wide open, and he was completely stunned.

This was not the result he expected at all. Before he could even use the substitute technique, the bell was snatched away.

"Are you careless?"

This thought was extinguished as soon as it surfaced.

Impossible. Logically speaking, he is an elite jounin after all. He was once one of the twelve guardian ninjas. When faced with three genin, he can defeat them with the three-skin technique.

but

There is only one explanation for this.

Shikamaru, this brat, is definitely a guy who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger.

No one noticed that he had considerable strength.

Asuma knew very well that just now Shikamaru came behind him almost instantaneously. This was definitely a top-notch teleportation.

Moreover, what is even more frightening is that the speed of his seal formation is too fast. Before he can react, he has been controlled by the shadow imitation technique.

This is a bit scary

Is this the true strength of the first generation Mekukage?

The boy from the Nara family is not simple

The shadow imitation technique was unlocked and Shikamaru returned to the trio.

After Asuma was briefly surprised, his expression immediately returned to calm, and he glanced at Ino who was standing aside.

"Shikamaru, your speed."

"lucky."

Shikamaru smiled slightly, he was very satisfied with the result.

Sure enough, the instant flash attack combined with the shadow imitation technique is simply a powerful weapon for the sinister.

Although Asuma was careless just now, this was indeed a leapfrog challenge, a good thing for Yin people to assassinate.
