Naruto Banner Sword God

Shikamaru listened to Sasuke's words with a smile on his lips!

"Okay, okay! You should all have the same confidence as Sasuke! Otherwise, how can we defeat those famous seniors!" Shikamaru said, stopping everyone from laughing again.

When Sasuke heard Shikamaru's words, he raised his proud head even higher!

When everyone heard Shikamaru's words, they nodded in agreement, but just have his confidence, not his ignorant arrogance!

After Shikamaru watched everyone regain their confidence, he looked at Naruto again!

Naruto also adjusted his emotions at this time and raised his head to look at Shikamaru.

"Captain Shikamaru! This time I will listen to you!" Naruto said to Shikamaru.

Seeing Naruto finally adjusting his mentality, he felt a huge weight drop in his heart.

Apart from anything else, Naruto's strength is still one of the strongest among the 12 of them. If he doesn't obey the command, Shikamaru will still have a headache!

"Okay! Since you all have no objections! Then I will make arrangements for tomorrow's assessment!" Shikamaru clapped his hands and said to everyone.

At this time, everyone fell silent and listened to Shikamaru's next words!

"Since it is an assessment, all 12 of us will definitely be on the field. Do you have any ideas about whether you will participate in individual battles or team battles? Or who of you wants to compete one-on-one with the seniors from the previous session!" Shikamaru asked everyone.

"Me!" Sasuke was the first to stand up!

"Count me in!" Naruto also stood up and said!

"Count...count...count me...me!" Hinata said shyly as she watched Naruto stand up.

"And me!" Not to be outdone, Xiao Li shouted to Shikamaru!

"Hinata-sama! Let me fight alone!" Neci said quickly when he saw Hinata standing up.

"Very good! Everyone is very confident! I'm very happy! How about I decide the final candidate?" Shikamaru said with confidence as he looked at his teammates who had come forward one after another.

The five people who had just spoken looked at Shikamaru when they saw Shikamaru speaking, as if they were saying choose me!Choose me!

Shikamaru pondered for a moment, considering the strength of each person and the strength and abilities of those seniors.

"In the individual battle, Sasuke, Hinata, and Naruto will fight!" Shikamaru said!

Those who were selected were excited, but those who were not selected were not disappointed. After all, there was still 3v3!Don’t worry about not having a chance to express yourself!

"The personnel for the individual battle have been confirmed. Do you have anyone in mind for the person you want to challenge?" Shikamaru asked the three of them.

"Of course I am the one who challenges the strongest among them! Uchiha Itachi! I have always wanted to defeat my brother! I want to prove to my father! I am no worse than my brother!" Sasuke seemed to have thought of something and felt a little sour. said.

Shikamaru was speechless for a while. You, a person who has not awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, how can you challenge one to seven?But Shikamaru knew Sasuke well, and it was impossible to persuade him to change!

But that’s fine!Don’t let those people look down on our generation of twelve young heroes!

Shikamaru didn't pay attention to the target of Sasuke's challenge. He turned his head to Naruto and asked: "Naruto! What about you?"

Naruto's eyes flickered, he looked at Sasuke, then at Shikamaru, and said, "I choose Uchiha Shisui!"

Shikamaru was speechless for a while, my great men!What's going on in your heads?Don’t you want to pass the assessment?

"What about you? Hinata?" Shikamaru placed his hope on Hinata.

"I...I...I choose Hayate-senpai!" Hinata said with a voice as thin as silk and her face flushed.

Hinata's shy voice came out, and the people present were not disappointed, but relieved!

Shikamaru heard Hinata's voice and thought of the strength of both parties, feeling that Hinata still had hope of defeating Moonlight Hayate!I feel a little more at peace!

"Okay! The three individual battle candidates have been confirmed! How about I be responsible for the allocation of team battle personnel?" Shikamaru said to everyone.

The remaining people nodded, no one had any idea of ​​winning the team battle, so it didn't matter how they arranged it, and Shikamaru's arrangement was indeed the best among everyone present!

"The first team battle! Ino and Choji and I will fight against the opponent's three seniors, Yamato, Shizune and Shiro!

In the second game, Neji, Lee, and Shino will fight against Gai, Kakashi, and Obito-senpai!

In the third game, Sakura, Kiba, and Tenten will face each other's Naoki, Jugo, and Kimimaro-senpai!

Do you agree? Shikamaru said.

Everyone had no objection and nodded.

"Okay! In that case, everyone should go back and rest! We will gather at the back mountain training ground at eight o'clock tomorrow morning!" Seeing that everyone had no objections, Shikamaru gave the order to disband.

Everyone got up and left one after another.

……

The next morning, at the back mountain training ground.

Shikamaru looked at the team members who had arrived, and said to Hatake Ziyan next to the training ground: "Master Ziyan, the second twelve strong ones have arrived and can be assessed at any time!"

Hatake Ziyan sat on a high platform made of wooden escape, nodded to Shikamaru, and said: "Then you go and meet Zhisui! I am here to be responsible for your safety today, and I will not participate in the assessment!"

Shikamaru nodded, looked at the first twelve Xiaoqiang people opposite them, and frowned when he found that only six of the 12 people came!

"Shisui-senpai! I don't know when we can start the assessment! Our team members are all here!" Shikamaru walked quickly to Shisui and said.

"Are you ready?" Shisui asked.

"We are ready! But I think the seniors are not here yet?" Shikamaru replied.

Zhisui looked back and said, "Oh, it's okay. Some people are on a mission. The rest should be here soon, right? We can start first!"

"Senior Shisui, can we choose our opponents for this assessment battle?" Shikamaru looked at the people standing behind Shisui and said.

"No problem! You are free to do as you like!" Zhisui nodded.

Shikamaru handed Shisui the battle list he had prepared yesterday and said, "Senior Shisui, this is the opponent we each selected! Do you think we can start the assessment?"

Shisui took the list handed over by Shikamaru and looked at it, with a strange look on his face.

"Shikamaru? Are you sure your personal battle list is correct?" Shisui said.

"That's right!"

"Okay! Let's start the assessment then! Which of you will come first?" Shisui put away the note in his hand and said to Shikamaru.

"In the first individual battle, we will have Namikaze Naruto fight! Challenge you, senior!" Shikamaru said, pointing to Naruto in the distance.

Zhishui shrugged and said, "That's fine! I'll finish early, and I can also go and chat with Master Ziyan!"
