Konoha's Strongest Shadow

The first match is between Hyuga Neji and Uzumaki Naruto.

This can be regarded as one of the more classic duels in Naruto, but Shikamaru lost interest in watching it.

It's the same as the original work here. Naruto finally defeated Neji with the help of Nine-Tails' chakra and won the first victory.

Then came the showdown between Shikamaru and Gaara.

The two quickly arrived at the center of the venue.

Shikamaru and Gaara stared at each other.

Shikamaru looked calm, without any emotion.

The corners of Gaara's mouth had turned up slightly, a very evil arc.

In a corner, Uchiha Sasuke stood there, staring at Shikamaru in the field, his eyes a little complicated.

in the audience.

Ino and Haruno Sakura sat together, all eyes focused on Shikamaru in the field.

"Ino, who do you think will win this game?" Sakura asked.

"No need to ask, of course it's Shikamaru." Ino answered confidently.

"Why?" Sakura glanced at Ino in surprise. She didn't know why Ino was so confident.

Although in her opinion, Shikamaru is indeed very powerful, but Gaara is also very powerful, the duel between these two people must be inseparable.

"Because he is Shikamaru." Ino said seriously, stars seemed to be shining in his eyes.

She had seen the duel between Shikamaru and Gaara. Gaara might have been careless at that time, but he was completely beaten by Shikamaru and had almost no power to fight back.

On the other side, Yuhi Kurenai, Hatake Fifty-Five Kai, and Sarutobi Sanji-500 were sitting in the front row, and they were all paying attention to this battle.

"This kid Shikamaru will definitely surprise people. He is my disciple and I know how strong he is." Asuma had no doubt that he was full of confidence in Shikamaru.

"This kid Shikamaru used to make people a little speechless, but his recent performance is really shocking. He is a rare genius. Maybe he will become a particularly powerful ninja in the future." Kakashi was also unconvinced. Don't be shy about praising Shikamaru.

He knew that Sasuke, who had learned Chidori, was still beaten by Shikamaru.

"Oh." Asuma glanced at Kakashi proudly, then looked at Shikamaru in the field, and said with a smile, "It's rare for hearing to praise someone so much."

In the venue of the Chunin Examination.

Moonlight Hayate glanced at Gaara, then at Shikamaru, and then said loudly: "The game begins."

"Hula"

The scene suddenly became lively.

"Come on Shikamaru"

"Shikamaru, defeat him and I will agree to your confession."

"First Generation Eye Shadow, rush"

"Konoha's master of confession, come on."

""

Suddenly, the entire venue burst into warm cheers.

Hearing these cheers, Shikamaru's face darkened.

In the audience, Shikaku also looked embarrassed. This was really embarrassing.

Sakura smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect Shikamaru to be so famous."

Ino said angrily: "What kind of good reputation is this?"

On the high platform of the auditorium, Orochimaru's face under the mask also smiled unobtrusively: "Lord Hokage, is this genin named Nara Shikamaru so popular in Konoha?"

"Ahem." The third generation had a sad face, not knowing what to say, and in the end he could only say haha: "Haha, Kazekage-sama is joking, there are always times when young people are young and frivolous."

Orochimaru didn't say anything more, but stared at Shikamaru in the field with burning eyes. There was a kind of flame called fanaticism burning in his eyes, but it was extinguished in the end.

"It's a pity. After all, he is only a member of the Nara family. The genius of the blood successor is a little inferior. After all, the upper limit of the future is still not as good as Uchiha's Sharingan."

And in the field at the moment.

Gaara had an extremely evil smile on his face.

"Nara Shikamaru, I have finally waited for this moment. I will take good care of you and let your blood make me feel the value of my existence."

Gaara's voice wasn't too loud, and it was buried under the sound of everyone cheering for Shikamaru.

Only Shikamaru standing opposite heard what he said.

"Blood haha."

Shikamaru smiled faintly, looked directly into Gaara's eyes, and said softly: "Don't you guys have never bled? Master Nara Shikamaru will let you taste the taste of bleeding today."

"After all, bleeding is a man's medal."

Gaara's face became extremely excited, and he muttered something unknown. He put his hands together and made a gesture.

swish

The sand in the gourd behind Gaara began to tilt out, and the yellow sand immediately surrounded Gaara's body.

"Hahahaha"

Gaara's expression became very ferocious, and an extremely arrogant laugh appeared in his mouth, making his whole person look even more ghostly and evil.

"Nara Shikamaru, let's get started."

Gaara stood motionless as more and more sand grew around him.

This was one of his methods, using the sand in the gourd to hit the pebbles on the ground to create more sand. At this moment, the entire Chunin Examination venue had become filled with yellow sand.

Gaara's entire body was surrounded by sand, covering him with three layers inside and three outside.

The last battle with Xiao Li also made Gaara realize his shortcomings.

He relies on his own sand, but his body is not good at physical skills or speed. Once the opponent moves faster than the sand, he will be completely passive and beaten.

Then, the best way is to completely defend yourself with sand.

Relying on the Eye of Sand to observe what's going on outside, he then casts spells within the defense of the sand.

This is his latest understanding of absolute defense.

Soon, Gaara's entire body was wrapped in thick sand, looking like a huge ball of sand.

Xiao Li in the stands swallowed helplessly when he saw this move.

If Gaara had used this move at that time, he would probably have a harder time.

There was also some bitterness in his heart.

envious, unwilling

This kind of ninja's absolute talent really made him envious.

Shikamaru, on the other hand, quietly watched Gaara's performance with a nonchalant look on his face, not caring at all.

By the end, Gaara's absolute defense was formed.

Then, the surrounding sand formed several huge sand tentacles, which began to sweep towards Shikamaru.

Sandstorm funeral.

The yellow sand in the sky looked like it was going to cover Shikamaru. Once swept by the yellow sand, there was only one final fate, and he was squeezed by the strong pressure and died.

"Ino, can Shikamaru really win?" Sakura couldn't help but asked worriedly.

Ino looked at this scene and felt very worried in her heart. She couldn't help but said firmly: "No, I believe Shikamaru can win."
