Konoha's logic genius

As soon as the match started, Temari jumped back first to avoid direct contact with Shikamaru's shadow in a close combat.

After Shikamaru saw this, he knew what the opponent wanted to do. It would be troublesome not to end the game immediately, especially since the opponent was a woman who seemed to have a bad temper.

What I hate most is dealing with women.

So he symbolically took out the shuriken from his ninja bag and made a throwing motion. At the moment when the shuriken was thrown, he formed seals at the same time and used the shadow imitation technique to perform a double attack.

To be honest, the shadow manipulation technique of the Nara clan has very good auxiliary properties. Before learning offensive ninjutsu such as the shadow seam technique and the shadow head-hanging technique, the shadow technique is not harmful at all. It can only control people. Body.

As for powerful offensive ninjutsu such as the Shadow Sewing Technique and the Shadow Head-Stringing Technique, they are too difficult to learn, and Shikamaru has not yet been able to master the high-level shadow techniques.

Even the most basic shadow imitation technique, Shikamaru was still in the exploratory stage and had not fully understood it.

Therefore, when fighting alone without the cooperation of other combatants, the threat of shadow imitation is greatly reduced.

But there is no way, this battle must be fought beautifully. My father is still watching next to the Hokage. If he doesn't perform well, won't it bring disgrace to the family's face?

Although it is true that he has no motivation, especially having no interest in fighting with women, he still cannot relax in his responsibilities.

If only he were the clouds in the sky, he would be carefree now and wouldn't have to worry about these boring things.

So, is there any way to make this game more beautiful?

Hard power is definitely not enough. He has learned about Temari's strength from Hyuga Hinata. The power of Temari's fan is very terrifying. The wind release when the fan is fully opened is definitely not something he can deal with.

Although such a high-level wind pursuit will definitely consume a lot of chakra.

Therefore, evaluating the opponent's strength and finally deciding what level of wind escape technique to use to defeat the opponent at the minimum cost is Temari's search strategy.

Shikamaru had already seen through this.

Not only is he a troublesome long-range attack ninja, he is also the most annoying intelligence analysis ninja, and she is also a woman, existing as his opponent.

The opponent easily dodged the shuriken, and then retreated flexibly, continuing to distance himself from the elongated shadow. At the same time, he took off the fan behind his back, showed two stars, and flicked it violently.

Shikamaru twitched his mouth. He was overthinking it. This kind of large-scale attack by Feng Dunqi was not something he could handle.

There were a few more tears in the clothes and skin on his body. Shikamaru ran backwards without thinking, gave up on using the shadow technique, and fled behind the stones in the competition venue, blocking the powerful wind escape attack.

It's really nice to have such a terrain that can withstand attacks. Shikamaru began to feel grateful to the person who designed the place.

So, what should you do next?

The opponent will definitely not fight with me in close combat. In close combat, it is easy to be attacked by his shadow technique. Unless the opponent is an idiot, he will choose to fight in close combat.

It's a pity that judging from the situation just now, the other party broke down the situation very clearly and has a clear mind. She is not a simple-minded idiot woman.

The right time, the right location, and the right people, if hard power is not enough, there are only three ways to consider it.

Regardless of the time of day, it was still morning and there was not much room to use.

In terms of people and human beings, it is one-on-one, and there is no chance of turning defeat into victory.

The rest is to guide the terrain, using the terrain to increase your chances of winning.

If you think about it carefully, there is something missing that could be used to bring out the function of shadow imitation.

Damn it...even the convenience brought by the terrain is limited.

In this limited playing field, it is naturally impossible to provide too many usable environments, and it is basically a one-time consumable.

This is not an easy thing to do.

It had been a few minutes since Shikamaru hid in a small forest made up of several trees. This boring competition naturally attracted many people's dissatisfaction. They wanted to watch the real battle of ninjas, not this boring battle. .

In their eyes, this kind of battle is indeed no different from boredom.

Compared with this boring and textureless battle, the previous battle was more exciting, and this was what they thought in their hearts.

"It's almost time for them to take action."

As Kakashi's words came to light, Temari on the field gradually became impatient. Shikamaru's idiot-like expression deeply irritated her, and she felt like she was being underestimated.

"Ninfa Kama Itachi!"

Temari suddenly picked up her fan and slapped it in Shikamaru's direction.

The powerful wind blew out, leaving horrific scratches on the ground and trees, raising huge clouds of dust, and immediately shutting up the impatient spectators.

At this moment, from the thick dust, sharp shadows rushed toward Temari at extremely fast speeds.

Temari had already expected it, and stepped back seven or eight meters. The shadow stopped just at her feet, and then slowly retracted, showing a smile.

This troublesome woman had indeed calculated the distance carefully, and her shadow imitation technique was seen through.Shikamaru bit his finger, feeling troubled.

"The opponent is also a ninja who is good at analysis. Shikamaru is not very motivated. It will be a very difficult battle for him."

Asma was not surprised at all when she saw the stalemate in the competition on the stage. Instead, she laughed, as if she had expected it.

"The Shadow Imitation Technique and the opponent's Wind Release Technique are both long-range ninjutsu, but compared to the most basic Shadow Imitation Technique, the Wind Release Technique is more lethal. The more it is consumed, the more detrimental it will be to Shikamaru."

Many ninjas have seen this happen.

But there is no other way. It is common to suddenly encounter a ninja who restrains himself during a game. It can only be said that he is very unlucky.

The most important thing is that it is morning now. From the perspective of the sun, the corner of the wall where Shikamaru is located is in a disadvantageous place with very few shadows.

Temari saw through this, so she rushed Shikamaru to that corner, and then slowly expanded Shikamaru's injuries, making it impossible to continue fighting.Easily win the game.

If it was the afternoon sun, it might increase the range of Shikamaru's shadow imitation technique.

Shikamaru himself was aware of this, but there was nothing he could do with Temari's Wind Release Technique. There was really a huge gap in the lethality of the two Ninjutsu.

If I had known this, I should have practiced the shadow head-hanging technique as early as possible to cooperate with the shadow imitation technique attack.

The shadow imitation technique has no offensive ability. Even if it controls the opponent's body, it is difficult to produce any effective damage.

In this case, I had to settle for the next best thing and win a beautiful game.Shikamaru's eyes calmed down, this was the best ending for him in this game.

He thought of many ways, but he had to give up such a plan in the end because he did not master the lethal shadow technique.

Temari smiled softly at this time, and a strong wind blew up again. The strong wind was mixed with sharp knives, and the marks on the ground and trees became more obvious. It blew up a huge range of thick dust, and several pieces of dust suddenly flew out from the thick dust. A shuriken.

Temari lightly flicked it away with her fan, and saw sharp shadows extending from the thick dust again.

The shuriken is just a feint attack, the shadow on the ground is the main body.

It's just that no matter how compressed and condensed the shadow is, it only reaches the limit just in front of her feet, and there is no possibility of a comeback.

Sure enough, just as she thought, the shadow stopped again at the defined position just now.

Suddenly, a change occurred.

The shadow paused for a moment, then continued to extend forward. Temari's expression suddenly changed. She didn't have time to think about why it was like this, and she stepped back, sweating profusely, to avoid being hit by the shadow.

After extending for nearly three or four meters, the extending shadow suddenly stopped and slowly retracted.

Temari saw a simple parachute made of clothes and kunai in the sky. Under the sunlight, the shadow was gradually spreading.

It was the use of this part of the shadow that caused Shikamaru's shadow area to continue to increase, exceeding the original limit.

"I can only do some clever tricks. It seems that I have almost reached my limit." Temari smiled confidently.

Two more Wind Release and Kamaitachi attacks, and the opponent should fall to the ground.

Shikamaru's body was covered with scars caused by the Wind Release Technique. He planned to use the terrain for protection, but the power of the Wind Release Technique was not so easy to withstand.

"I have seen through your ninjutsu, and you will never have a chance to come back." Temari announced loudly, as if she thought she had won.

"I didn't fight until the end, who knows about this kind of thing."

"A dead duck has a tough mouth."

Temari opened the fan again, revealing the three stars inside, preparing to increase the power of Wind Release to the maximum.

"Wind Release·Dascythe——"

The body movements stopped, and the smile on Temari's face stiffened, revealing a trace of confusion.

"If you use a more powerful wind escape technique, I won't be able to withstand such an impact."

Shikamaru slowly untied his hand seals and rubbed his sore shoulders. He already had many injuries on his body. The power of the other party's Wind Release was still beyond his imagination, so he had to use this despicable method to win.

"You seem to be shocked. You deliberately rushed me into this small space where shadows rarely use it at the beginning of the game, but this is actually in line with my wishes. Because this is also my best tactical location. For this limited venue, there is no place more suitable for me to perform the shadow imitation technique than here." Shikamaru slowly came over, and Temari also dropped the fan in her hand at this time, her body stiffened and she was forced to maintain the same speed and movements as Shikamaru. .

"Why, why..."

"Look at the back." Shikamaru turned his head back.

"That's..." Temari saw something incredible. The shadow came out of the hole and penetrated her shadow from behind.

"That thing in the sky just distracts you, and the lengthened shadow just forces you to the position I want. The prerequisites for tactical victory are complete."

Even so, the tactics were quite crude. Fortunately, the opponent was careless enough and did not notice such a thing.

"This is from the previous game..."

"In the first game, the battle between Gaara and Lee created a lot of big pits, which can be exploited."

As long as you use the shadow in the hole, you can omit the overlapping part and carry out an extended attack from the hole behind.

"Next time we compete... let's include the places where we can't see the shadow. If we do that, I might lose the game."

Although he thought of many methods, this method had the highest success rate and was the most reliable.

Use distraction to see through the blind spots in the other person's analysis before taking action.

If Temari ends the game before that, then any trick will be useless.

After all, he is still smart, and... his physical strength and chakra are about to bottom out...

"hateful……"

Temari gritted her teeth, unwilling to accept the fact that she had lost.

Shikamaru slowly raised his hand, and amid the cheers and encouragement from the audience, he said, "I abstain."

audience:"???"

The cheers stopped suddenly, as if they heard something unbelievable.

Temari also looked at Shikamaru dumbfounded, what did this guy say?Abstain?

It got to this point... and he gave up?Is there any mistake?

"My chakra is not enough to support the coming battle, and I don't have any lethal ninjutsu. Even if I use kunai and shuriken to project each other and hurt both sides, I will definitely fall first after being seriously injured. And my The purpose is just to have a good game, winning or losing is not very important to me.”

Shikamaru explained.

The most important thing I didn't mention is that after he advances, he will fight against some very powerful masters. With his current strength, there is no way to take advantage of him.

Especially guys like the Six from the Rain Ninja Village, Gaara from the Sand Ninja Village, and Kimimaro from the Mist Ninja Village, they might be able to forcefully break away from his imperfect shadow imitation technique.

"The winner...Temari."

Out of respect for the 'winner', Moonlight Hayate followed Shikamaru's request and handed the title of winner to Temari.

"Name...what's your name?"

Looking at Shikamaru's retreating figure, Temari looked unwilling and stubborn.

"Nara Shikamaru."

"I won't lose to you next time."

"Well, then come on."

Shikamaru looked unmotivated. He would never fight a woman next time. He was almost exhausted.

"This bastard..."

I don't know why, but every time I see this guy's idiot look, Temari can't help but feel angry and wants to punch him a few times.

Temari followed Shikamaru back to the stands.

On the stands, Uzumaki Kiyo couldn't help but look at Nara Shikaku with a smile.

"Shikaku, I am truly worthy of being your son."

Nara Shikakuya smiled helplessly, but Shikamaru's behavior was what he expected.

Next, it’s time for game three.

I don’t know who the opponent will be.
