Mao Yue Xiyan put away her knife and raised her eyebrows imperceptibly. She used to wear an ANBU mask, but she had never considered other people's eyes like this. Can you change a person? The conversation before the old captain's grave came to mind again. Uzuki Yugan put the knife back behind his back and looked at Ino and Shikamaru. "Combining illusions is much more efficient than pure torture, and the credibility of the information is also higher. Ino, the secret arts of the Yamanaka clan have more advantages in this aspect." Ino Yamanaka straightened his back subconsciously, but he didn't know what to do. He responded. Uzuki Yugao did not intend to let Ino give a speech, but changed the target and continued today's teaching: "Shikamaru, I don't know what you are worried about, but with the strength of the two of you, the battle should have ended cleanly long ago. That's right." Nara Shikamaru lowered his head and said nothing. Maybe he thought too much this time. These wandering ninjas seemed unaware of the border conflict between the Land of Fire and the Land of Thunder, but overall there was nothing wrong with Shikamaru's thinking. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary wandering ninjas to attack Konoha's troops near the border when the two major countries are in conflict. That would attract Konoha's crazy revenge. Shikamaru never thought about the fact that the four ninjas took over the task of changing the money without understanding the situation. This was also one of the main reasons for Shikamaru's misjudgment this time. Having information is an advantage, but even superior information can lead to incorrect conclusions. That's not what Mao Yue Xiyan wants to say: "Taking into account the overall situation and always being able to think beyond the battle itself, this is certainly your advantage, but if you are not sure, don't think about staying alive. It may make the people around you bear the consequences." It's a risk that she shouldn't have to bear." Mao Yue Xiyan wanted to say "live", but for some reason she didn't finish the sentence, so she mumbled it. But Uzuki Xiyan's attitude as if she was taking care of a child made Shikamaru's expression even more ugly. This time when he left the village to perform a mission, Shikamaru's performance was indeed not good. Misjudgments occurred several times, which only brought risks to teammates. First he was carried away by anger and acted irrationally; then he was too cautious and missed the opportunity to fight. In the past, every time Shikamaru read biographies in books, he always couldn't understand it. The protagonist kept trying to balance sensibility and rationality. Since he knew that balance was needed, why didn't he take countermeasures in advance? Is it just an artistic process to highlight the two sides of human nature? But when the reality fell on him, Shikamaru realized that this was not a simple math problem. The back entrusted to him by his teammates not only represents their trust, but also carries their lives. Whenever Shikamaru realizes this, he always feels that his heartbeat becomes a little heavier. Shikamaru knew his place. In terms of team configuration, he is positioned as the team's command tower, responsible for transforming the information obtained from Ino into Choji's combat power to crush the enemy. If he, the link between the team and the team, makes a misjudgment, the team may become fragmented in an instant. Speaking of which, he is the weakest among the three of them. Needless to say, Choji's combat ability in the Double Technique is extremely strong. Sometimes Shikamaru even feels that Choji's intelligence is no worse than his. In terms of action and decisiveness, Choji is the strongest among the three. Choji has been the absolute core of the nursery class since he was a child. The four members of the nursery class are accustomed to listening to Choji's opinions before deciding anything. Ino's illusion and perception abilities are no longer weaker than those of ordinary genin, and this time he even found the exact location of the opponent's sensing ninja in actual combat. This kind of talent is enough to be ranked among the best in the history of Konoha Village. It only needs a few more years of polishing, and Ino will definitely be able to achieve something. In contrast, he has been practicing the shadow secret technique so far, and he has not even been able to completely block the enemy's actions. The shadow head-hanging technique has not yet entered the country. If you can no longer fulfill the responsibilities of a command tower, you might as well find another ninjutsu-type ninja to take his place. Shikamaru couldn't accept this reality. Shikamaru seems lazy, but in fact he is extremely proud. Under the surface of finding everything troublesome, once he does something, he will definitely have top-notch self-confidence. Growing up, Shikamaru had never fallen twice on something. Few people know that when a normally confident person experiences setbacks, he is actually more vulnerable than the average person. To put it bluntly, Shikamaru's current state is that his self-confidence has been severely frustrated, and he has begun to examine his life and doubt himself. There was something wrong with Shikamaru's mentality. This was the conclusion Uzuki Xiyan came to after careful observation. Although the manifestations are different, Uoyuki Xiyan herself has had a similar experience. The memory of failing the first mission after entering ANBU was like a scar, extremely glaring on the otherwise flawless skin. What the captain did back then was to uncover the scars over and over again, forcing her to face up to her own weakness, accept failure and realize that she would be stronger in the future. Simple, crude, but effective. Although she was complained about and asked not to follow the captain's tricks, Maoyue Xiyan is not a good baby who will easily listen to advice. Regarding this, she vaguely saw a similar shadow in Shikamaru. Pride is never a flaw, contempt is. Maoyue Xiyan knew that at this time, it would be better to point out the problem to the point than to talk about some big principles at length. Shikamaru's qualifications were enough to deduce the answer on his own. So after Uzuki Xiyan said this, he didn't say anything more, but let Shikamaru fall into deep thought. The Kirigakure Jutsu lost the chakra supply of the caster and quickly turned into ordinary water mist, which was then easily blown away by the mountain wind. Uzuki Xiyan's shadow clone came over with Choci and Mikai, and all members of Xi's team quickly met. Although the antidote Mihai carried eliminated the effect of the hallucinogen, the amount of antidote he carried with him was limited, and there were still eighteen border guards behind him who suffered greatly. Before leaving the team, Uoyuki Xiyan had ordered not to disperse, but he was afraid of the worst. Ordinary people who lost their sense of direction in the fog were likely to encounter various unexpected dangers. They must rush back as soon as possible to deliver the antidote to the border guards. According to the female ninja Otsu, the antidote is a white, foul-smelling liquid. After searching the body of the minions, it was discovered that the small bottle containing the liquid had burst in the explosion of the detonator. Fortunately, all they needed was the strong smell produced by the evaporation of the liquid, otherwise the remaining less than one-third of the white liquid would not be enough for eighteen people. After repacking the remaining liquid, Xi's team did not find anything more useful on the minions and Heipi, and only took away the ninja tools and a few scrolls they had with them.
