For this reason, he was gently warned by a powerful ninja from that clan to be a witness and to tell the whole story in detail.
For this, he was even hung up and spanked by his fierce mother.
Thinking of this, Nara Shikamaru involuntarily frowned slightly, as if recalling the terrible situation of that day.
My own father is really something. Wouldn't it have been better to marry an ordinary woman?
He insisted on finding a fierce-looking woman to be his wife.
While he was complaining in his heart, his wise eyes were also quietly scanning and observing his surroundings, paying particular attention to several small teams.
First, there's that strange guy from Sunagakure carrying a sand and stone gourd. He not only has the reputation of having 'absolute defense,' but he's also vaguely feared by his companions. Such a person is definitely worth paying attention to and being wary of.
Secondly, there's Hyuga Neji, the senior from the main family who graduated first in the Ninja Academy last year. He's said to be a rare genius in the Hyuga clan. If it weren't for the fact that his bloodline was restricted by the branch family, the next head of the Hyuga clan might have already been decided.
Moreover, the guy with thick eyebrows, who was in the same squad, also seemed to be a strong fighter with top-notch physical skills.
Then, Sasuke Uchiha, also a member of the Uchiha clan, graduated with the highest overall score among this year's graduates and also possesses the Sharingan unique to that clan.
It seems that their abilities should be able to suppress the newcomers to some extent.
His teammates seemed a bit unreliable. Looking at Naruto Uzumaki, who was calling out the visitor's name in a rather familiar manner, Nara Shikamaru winked at the corner of his eye with a somewhat subtle expression.
I don't know what Iruka-sensei was thinking, putting the top student and the worst student in the same team.
Aside from the ninjas of the five great ninja villages who already possess a certain aura, ninjas belonging to other forces are not unworthy of attention either.
For example, there was the Otogakure ninja who, in a moment of anger, displayed his talent in the first trial, injuring his senior, Kabuto Yakushi, with a strange sonic ninjutsu.
And that eerie Kusagakure ninja who, with just a glance, seemed to be targeted by wild beasts and venomous snakes.
Is that long, purple tongue really human?
【Alas.】
Just seeing it gave him a chill down his spine again.
After struggling to shake off the nauseating and chilling feeling, Nara Shikamaru looked once again at the newcomers not far away. If these geniuses and freaks, each capable of taking on ten men, were to unite, then perhaps they would still have a fighting chance, and the Chunin Exams could return to normal.
After all, this guy, who carries the proud bloodline of the Uchiha clan, immediately provoked everyone's anger and was arrogant enough to challenge everyone!
This is a point that can be mobilized at great potential, and once achieved, it might even be able to help our own team with cleanup work.
Thinking of this, a serious look appeared in Nara Shikamaru's eyes, and the lazy look on his face gradually disappeared.
However, there is still one point that needs to be discussed: what level of strength has the other party reached?
Because the last time he heard any concrete news about the visitor was three years ago: after leading his people to the eastern border to repel the enemy, the man brought his entire tribe back with them.
Although the specific details are unknown, and it is unclear what role the other party played in that battle, such achievements and courage are enough to make them stand out among their peers.
Recently, there have been rumors that this clan went to the north to carry out a mission to repel the enemy, but the specific mission and details have not been publicized.
In addition, his father had been sent to Daming Prefecture before the war broke out, and these were things that children like himself should have to think about.
Therefore, there is a serious lack of information about that person at present!
[In the absence of sufficient intelligence]
[If you're not careful, you might end up getting yourself and your companions involved.]
Despite being repeatedly urged by the idea of forming an alliance in his heart, Nara Shikamaru suddenly slammed on the brakes, attempting to make himself clearer.
[And I wonder what the other contestants are thinking.]
After all, the ideas and pride of geniuses are often strange and unnecessary.
He once again denied his previous assumptions and searched for reasons to stop himself.
【trouble,】
【trouble.】
The already troublesome assessment has somehow become even more troublesome!
[And why should I even consider something like this?!]
A series of slightly manic denials echoed in his mind.
As he gradually shed his delusion of making everyone show signs of alliance, he was also puzzled as to why he, who always disliked trouble, would take the initiative to consider ways to break the deadlock this time.
Is it because of worry or fear?
The fear of encountering the enemy alone in the forest while in one's own squad?
Therefore, they wanted to take the initiative to use everyone's strength here to exclude this team from the trial?
【Danger.】
【Danger! 】
【Danger!!】
[Shikamaru, how could you have such a dangerous idea?]
The nail that sticks out gets hammered down!
Who knows what the consequences will be if we mess with that guy?
The Uchiha clan, in a sense, are monsters whose true nature cannot be easily fathomed!
Just surrender if you encounter them.
The shadows of his childhood, the only information he had, and the powerful confidence of the newcomer finally brought Nara Shikamaru back to his senses. After figuring out where the proctors were, he immediately tried to move to another location.
After all, if a fight really breaks out, they can get the best protection from their seniors, or at the very least, they can be the first to run away.
I thought that with the Ino-Deer-Choose-Butterfly formation I had recently mastered, I could barely get through the second assessment and avoid being scolded by my troublesome father.
[I guess I'll have to wait until the next trial to participate.]
This seemingly extremely unreliable examiner actually acted normally for once.
He carefully signaled to his two companions to retreat from the dangerous area.
Choji was very obedient because they had witnessed together the man's power and cruelty.
But the only girl in the squad seemed a little slow in her movements, her eyes, which held complex emotions, fixed intently on the captain of the newly added squad.
Three years ago, she hated that guy!
Because the other party sent his most beloved father to the front lines;
He was severely criticized by his father simply for saying that person was bad and that person had provoked a war with Kirigakure!
Even though they both belong to the Uchiha clan, why is Sasuke, who's in the same class, so handsome and attractive, while Ara Uchiha is so annoying?!
Fortunately, her father returned in triumph.
However, many of their peers' and even classmates' fathers also remained on that land forever.
In an instant, Uchiha Arakawa became even more annoying than that blond boy in his class.
However, Ino did not join in.
Because he could always hear his father's words echoing in his ears:
You'll understand when you grow up.
This sentence stayed with her for a long time, and now, she seems to be beginning to understand it.
Because protecting their homeland and carrying out orders are the very meaning of a ninja's existence, and the very resolve that a ninja must uphold.
So, when she met that person again, Yamanaka Ino seemed to have let go of something.
Even the fact that her best friend told her that she also liked Uchiha Sasuke seemed less important.
Compared to the former, the latter is like a child who hasn't grown up yet.
After all, they're the same age, yet the former has already started fighting for his family and village!
"Ino, Ino, stop looking at Ino."
A low voice whispered frantically in the girl's ear.
"what!"
No matter how she was called, Yamanaka Ino finally managed to regain consciousness.
"what happened?"
She asked instinctively.
However, Nara Shikamaru seemed unwilling to explain further, and quietly pulled the girl towards the designated 'safe zone'.
"Then, what about them? After all, they are also Konoha ninjas."
"No need for help..."
Thanks to her good family ties and being a teammate in the same squad, Yamanaka Ino immediately understood what the former wanted to do.
Before she could finish speaking, Nara Shikamaru quickly covered her mouth, his gaze cautiously scanning the surroundings, as if afraid that others might overhear such sensitive words and misunderstand her as an ally.
He doesn't want to attract criticism.
Shh, don't talk nonsense.
Instead of worrying about them, we should worry about ourselves.
Didn't you hear what the examiner said just now?
"Run away if you encounter them, don't make enemies."
Be quick-witted.
Shikamaru scolded in a low voice, increasingly convinced that his actions were correct.
Only by being far away from that guy can I regain my sense of security.
"Listen to Shikamaru, that guy is strong and ruthless."
"When we first enrolled, he was able to pin a bunch of genin to the ground and beat them up."
Choji Akimichi echoed in a low voice, his hand no longer holding the snack bag, but only a sense of shared vigilance.
"Besides, didn't he previously also..."
He wanted to say something more, but then, as if remembering a restricted silence, he immediately fell silent.
