Tsunade, you're really drunk!

"The fourth match is between Nara Shikamaru and Hoshigaki Kisame!"

"Please invite the next contestant to the stage!"

The sound of a gale came from the speakers. At this moment, Nara Shikaku slowly sat up from the sofa in the preparation room. He was stunned for two seconds, raised his hand to the back of his neck, twisted his neck, stretched it a little, looked up at the sky, and after holding his hands behind his head, he slowly walked from the passage to the arena.

Hoshigaki Kisame, Shikamaru's opponent, stood at the door of the passage before the previous match between Sasuke and Samui was over, and couldn't wait to end the battle.

At this moment, they have already arrived at the arena early.

Moonlight Gale was helpless and shouted into the microphone again.

"Contestant Nara Shikamaru, don't oversleep, it's your turn to compete."

"Please come on stage quickly."

After he finished speaking, he saw Nara Shikamaru's figure leisurely walking out from the passage.

Nara Shikamaru first looked up at the audience seats around him.

Wow... there are so many people... are we going to have a showdown under so many people's attention?

This is so troublesome... I really want to go home and sleep. According to the rules, can I just surrender directly?

But the next moment, his eyes were drawn to the relatives' seats in the front row of the audience.

Why is mom here?

Nara Yoshino was waving his hands happily at Shikamaru at this moment.

Although the crowd nearby was very noisy, he could still see the movements of his mother's lips.

At this moment, he was shouting with a gentle look and a smile on his face.

"I know you understand what I mean."

"If you dare to surrender, you will die when you go home."

Nara Shikamaru felt his heart skip a beat and he felt terrible. He suddenly became listless, as if he had accepted his fate. He lowered his head and walked in front of Kisame and Hayate.

Looking at Shikamaru's half-dead appearance, Gekkou Hayate couldn't help but become worried. He turned off the microphone temporarily and asked tentatively.

"Shikamaru, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell and want to forfeit the match?"

Shikamaru just smiled bitterly and waved his hands, his eyes showing a dead look.

"It's okay, just proceed as normal."

"I just thought about unhappy things."

Ji Feng touched his head, half understanding.

"That's fine."

Then he turned on the microphone again, asked Shikamaru and Kisame to form a fighting seal, and then left the arena.

Kisame looked at Shikamaru's expression and subconsciously thought that he had scared the kid.

After all, in the past three years, his shark face and nearly two-meter-tall sturdy figure have caused misunderstandings among many children, who were so scared that they cried and wanted to go home to find their mothers.

"Uh...don't be fooled by my fierce appearance, I'm actually a good person."

As he spoke, Kisame still had a smile on his face.

But this smile looked so hideous no matter how you looked at it, just like the crazy and morbid smile of Shrimp Rice.

Nara Shikamaru also forced a smile in response to Kisame.

"Thank you for your concern, Senior. I have heard of your name before. I am only like this because of what my mother said."

"It's okay, get ready to fight."

Kisame slowly put down the battle seal in his hand and took a few steps back.

How about letting this little guy go? Why does it feel like he's using his mother as an excuse?

As expected, he was probably scared by me. Otherwise, I should be gentler and use a relatively soft method to send him off the stage.

With the blast of the examiner Moonlight Gale's signal gun, "Bang!"

Nara Shikamaru put his hands together, with his thumb and index finger raised.

"Shadow Mimicry!"

The listless voice seemed to become a little louder due to the circulation of chakra in the body.

The shadow under his feet seemed to have consciousness at this moment. It changed from the appearance of Shikamaru into a long and thin straight line, and quickly spread towards the direction of Hoshigaki Kisame.

Hoshigaki Kisame immediately realized what this thing was.

Nara Shikamaru, as expected, is this the secret technique of the Nara clan?

It seems that we can't underestimate this guy. If he is controlled by the shadow, there will be some trouble.

When he was in Kirigakure, he had heard about Konoha's various bloodlines and famous secret families.

In addition to the two major bloodlines of Sharingan and Byakugan, the five secret families that need the most attention are the Ino-Shika-Chou families, the Inuzuka families and the Aburame families.

As a veteran with rich combat experience, he naturally knows that he must not be careless when dealing with any enemy.

Right now, the first thing you need to do is to figure out the range of your opponent's shadow.

The shadow kept moving towards Kisame's feet, and Kisame kept pulling back.

Until the shadow suddenly straightened and formed a thin straight line, unable to extend forward half an inch. Kisame directly drew out the big sword Samehada behind him, leaving a deep mark on the ground.

"It seems that fifty meters is your current limit."

Seeing this, Shikamaru shook his head helplessly, took the shadow back and sighed.

"Sure enough, the battle can't end as quickly as I imagined."

So he just sat cross-legged on the spot, with his hands in a semicircle placed on his legs, with his fingertips connected to form a ring, and there was no further movement.

Kisame looked at Shikamaru's inexplicable actions and didn't quite understand what the other party was doing.

It looks like... he's thinking of a countermeasure?

If he had been like him in the past, he would probably have just walked away with a "dam water repair" move.

But now in Konoha, this is a good opportunity to do Nara Shikaku a favor. If I remember correctly, this guy's father seems to be the captain of the Jonin class.

After following Lord Qianye for so long, he has also learned the ways of the world. It must be said that at certain times, learning these things can really make one live a lot more comfortably in Konoha, but the premise is: don't violate the rules of Lord Qianye and the Hokage.

So he put on a serious expression and stared at Shikamaru, as if he was on guard against something.

As time passed, one minute, two minutes, the audience in the stands began to complain and shout.

"What the hell! Is this a fake match? I paid a lot of money to come to Konoha just to watch something like this!?"

"It's been two minutes. Could this pineapple-headed kid have fallen asleep?"

For a moment, many people started complaining.

Nara Yoshino in the front row, to the horror of her husband Shikaku, pulled out a loud speaker from her arms and shouted directly to the people behind her.

"Can you please stop barking! My precious son is playing in the stadium, can you please be quiet!?"

"You can watch! If not, get out! What's so much trouble? Who forced you to watch?"

Even Shikamaru on the field was pulled out of his thoughts by his mother's voice, and a smile finally broke out on his face.

"It's already this late, why is mom still cursing like this..."

After Yoshino's large-scale attack, most people chose to shut up.

Some people do this because what the other person said is right, and it is indeed not good for them to do so. Who wasn’t a child once?

Many of them were in awe of this ordinary yet great mother, and some even envied Shikamaru for having such a protective mother...
