Naruto: Hayate Blade

Since he did not have enough chakra, he relied on his IQ to defeat powerful enemies. Later, he single-handedly killed members of the Akatsuki organization and became the assistant of the sixth and seventh generations of Hokage. He is still an important role in Boruto and plays a very important role in Naruto. In this world that advocates fighting of wits, he can be called the fourth protagonist of Konoha's new generation.

However, as for Shikamaru's IQ, the original work has already fully demonstrated it. This episode will not only see Shikamaru's IQ, but also his growth and other shining points.

When Shikamaru first appeared, he looked like a salty fish. He skipped school and slept in exams. His grades were about the same as Naruto's, and he had no interest in women. He seemed to have seen through the world and had no desires. "It's really troublesome" is his mantra, and he seems to have no energy for anything. After forming Team 10 with Choji and Ino, he even laughed at himself: "No one is weaker than us." During this period, he seemed He's just a jerk who doesn't even have any passion.

But don't be fooled by these appearances, you must know that he is a "genius" in the literal sense. The reason why he did not get good grades was simply because he was too lazy to write during the exam. "Afraid of trouble" was because he was too thoughtful and would consider the next five or ten steps before doing anything. He spent much more energy than ordinary people, so he encountered trouble. Even if he simply stayed away from Team 10, he wouldn't be weak at all. "Ino Shika Butterfly" is a long-established legendary combination in Konoha. The children of the heads of the three major secret arts families cooperate tacitly. They can fight and control, but they have no interest in women.

So it is not necessarily true that Shikamaru is actually a master at pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. For a ninja, his talent is actually very average. He has a single ninjutsu and only knows the shadow series passed down by his family. If he wants to use other ninjutsu, he can only use scrolls. And the most important thing is that his chakra seems to be seriously insufficient. Every time The battle will be exhausting. Even if the shadow imitation technique is successfully controlled, the time it takes is very short, and he will be broken free by brute force. And before learning the shadow suture technique, he only has control and lacks effective attack methods. As a strategist in the team, once he leaves his teammates, how effective is he in combat?

So with Shikamaru's IQ, he should never let himself be alone. But in fact, in the first part alone, he had the experience of voluntarily leaving his teammates twice and facing the enemy alone. This is one of his shining points. For the sake of his companions, he, who is "afraid of trouble", can sacrifice his life for the sake of his teammates. Take risks. This is why his master Asuma commented on him: "He has the qualifications to become Hokage."

The first time Shikamaru shined was during the Chunin Exams. During the second battle for the Shijuan Axis, Shikamaru's team happened to find Team 7 who was besieged by Sound Ninja. In fact, with their current position, they are rivals with everyone else, and helping them is a high-risk, non-rewarding thing. If Shikamaru was an absolutely rational wise man, he should have just stood aside. But he didn't do this. Instead, he persuaded the hesitant Ino to help Sakura, and finally dragged the timid Choji to come forward. He valued the friendship between classmates more important than interests and safety.

Afterwards, the main match was decided by drawing lots, and Shikamaru drew the woman he was destined for, Temari.

His match was originally the last one, but after the match between Naruto and Neji, the second match was postponed because Sasuke did not arrive. In the third match, Kankuro abstained because he did not want to expose his strength. As a result, Shikamaru was caught off guard and was about to come on stage.

His opponent, Temari, has a somewhat arrogant personality. The first two matches with her companions were skipped, which caused the audience to boo. She didn't want Sunagakure Village to be looked down upon, so she parachuted into the field gorgeously, full of arrogance. Shikamaru saw that his opponent was very confident, and that the large-scale wind release ninjutsu he showed in the preliminary round was very restrained, so he wanted to give up altogether. As a result, Naruto next to him pushed him off the field: "Come on, I'm optimistic about you." Shikamaru fell into a "big" character, "Naruto that bastard."

By this time Temari had already attacked, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet. He ran into the shadow-dense grove, trying to lure Temari in. But Temari's mind was equally good. She had also seen Shikamaru's shadow imitation technique in the preliminaries. She saw through his plan at a glance and used wind escape to attack from a distance. Shikamaru tried to use the shadow of the wall to extend the shadow imitation technique, but the distance was still not enough. He could only hide in the woods, looking helpless, and his coat was blown into the sky. But at this time, he had already thought of a plan and was just waiting for the opportunity.

As time passed and the sun gradually set, the shadow of the wall covered more of the field. Shikamaru caught Temari off guard with the sudden lengthening shadow imitation technique, but Temari took a step back and narrowly avoided it. However, Shikamaru's plan was more than just one step. A dot suddenly appeared at Temari's feet. It turned out to be Shikamaru's clothes that had been "blown away" before, and turned into a parachute that provided a shadow. The shadow imitation technique was extended again, and Temari was almost captured.

In the preliminary round of the third exam, Shikamaru once again faced off against the sound ninja, the female ninja Jin. The opponent's ability is to cast an illusion through the sound of a bell, but this illusion is very low-level and has no VR effect. Shikamaru shrinks the shadow imitation technique into a thread, disguised as the shadow of the thread used by the opponent to shake the bell, and captures it unknowingly. He killed her and then used the wall behind her to knock her out. Although the opponent in this battle was not strong, Shikamaru won so easily and calmly, which really impressed Naruto, who had been with him since childhood.

Temari realized that this scheming man would succeed sooner or later if this continued, so she planned to use a unique trick to determine the outcome. Just when she was about to form the seal, suddenly, her body couldn't move. How could he clearly avoid the shadow?

Shikamaru asked her to turn around, and she was surprised to find that the shadow stretched out from an unknown hole behind her. It turned out that this hole was the tunnel that Naruto had dug during the match with Neji. Shikamaru had included this tunnel in the chessboard from the beginning. His first two subtle attacks were just a foreshadowing to lead her to the vicinity of the tunnel. That's it, the third step is the real general, the shadow imitation technique is successful.

Temari couldn't control her body and walked towards Shikamaru. The distance between the two became closer and closer until they were breathing together. Asuma and Kurenai looked at Shikamaru with relief, while Temari closed her eyes as if giving up resistance. Shikamaru took a deep breath: "I lost and gave up." Looking at Temari's flattered expression, I think Shikamaru didn't just look at three steps, he saw his entire life.

Shikamaru's explanation for this is: "My chakra has been exhausted, and the shadow imitation technique can't last for 10 seconds. Although I have thought about more than two hundred strategies, none of them work." Although Shikamaru lost During the game, the strategy and calm judgment he showed impressed the big guys watching on the sidelines. However, he seemed to give up too early, which made the stubborn Naruto feel angry. But exams were never important to Shikamaru.

Afterwards, Sasuke finally arrived at the arena and had a fierce contest with Gaara. However, something unexpected happened during the match. Kabuto Yakushi activated a sleep illusion that covered the entire venue, and the Orochimaru Group hidden in the venue started a war. Seeing this formation, Shikamaru decisively pretended that the genjutsu of sleeping bags was only aimed at genin and ordinary people with weak resistance. Shikamaru was not affected by the technique. But with so many jounin present, he, a genin, had better protect himself first.

But with great ability comes great responsibility, and it is difficult to ignore him who has just shown his talent. Kakashi named him, Naruto, Sakura and ninja dog Parker to track down Sasuke and Gaara.

But during the mission, Parker discovered that there were nine enemy pursuers behind him, and judging from their speed, they were all above Chuunin, and there might even be Jonin.

Shikamaru immediately knew that the situation was serious, and looked at his side: "a baihi, a female ninja with no merits, a dog, and myself running away from n1", once caught up, the whole army may be annihilated. So Shikamaru judged that one person must be left behind to delay the enemy, but in 1v9, the person left behind was more likely to be in danger.

Hearing this, they stopped. "Who will be the bait?" When Naruto was about to speak, Shikamaru said calmly: "Of course it is the person here who has the ability to hold off the enemy and is likely to survive, that is. I am the only one who has the skill of shadow imitation." He waved his hand confidently: "I will catch up with you."

But at this time, Shikamaru's eyes were already black. The match with Temari just now had exhausted his chakra. He had a narrow escape from death. He was just trying to show off his strength and wanted Naruto and the others to leave peacefully.

Although he used tree branches to imitate dog footprints, drew his pursuers together, and used shadow imitation to control them all, there were only eight enemies in front of him, and Parker clearly said there were nine pursuers. It seemed that one was missed, Shikamaru smiled bitterly and threw the shuriken at the enemy. Sure enough, the kunai shot out from the canopy above, knocking out all the shurikens. It seemed that the ninth enemy was hiding in the tree.

But at this time, Shikamaru couldn't even use his shadow to capture him. His remaining chakra couldn't even maintain the control of 8 people. The shadow imitation technique was canceled and Shikamaru was in a desperate situation. "Come out and chop off this guy's head by the way," the enemy said arrogantly.

A black shadow suddenly fell to the ground and hit behind Shikamaru. It was not the enemy, but Asuma's teacher. Asuma quickly eliminated the enemy and praised: "Well done, Shikamaru." Shikamaru finally breathed a sigh of relief. Sighing: "I'm really not this material." But in fact, he has done his best. When the bait is cut off, it is easy for a simple-minded passionate boy, but for a person with a high IQ like Shikamaru, Such behavior is the same as jumping into a pit of fire. But he would rather be a person with a clear conscience than live an ignoble existence. In the chapter of the Chunin Examination, we not only saw Shikamaru's intelligence, but also his efforts to save his companions. Shikamaru is also a ninja who adheres to this creed for his quality and courage that have put him in danger many times. "Those who don't cherish their companions are worse than trash."

His performance in the Chunin Exam was recognized by the Hokage and the Daimyo, and he became the only person promoted to Chunin in this exam. In order to celebrate Shikamaru's promotion, Asuma generously treated Team 10 to a meal. Feast.

Not long after, Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, suddenly gave Shikamaru an urgent mission. Sasuke had just been taken away by Orochimaru's men. Immediately summon the best genin you can find to pursue him. At this time, Konoha Village had just experienced a war with the Orochimaru Group and was severely short of manpower, so it could only rely on these genin. Shikamaru knew that this was another dangerous mission, so he turned around and left. Since it was a pursuit, he didn't want to waste any time.

Shikamaru quickly found Naruto, Choji, Kiba and Neji to form a temporary team, and as the captain, he formulated a detailed combat plan and formation based on everyone's characteristics. By the way, the most famous ninjas in Konoha Hidden Village in the Land of Fire are none other than the legendary "Three Ninjas": Orochimaru, who was obsessed with studying and mastering countless forbidden arts and then betrayed Konoha, and Jiraiya, who was very lustful but possessed the power of celestial arts. , and Tsunade, who always loses in every bet but has powerful supernatural powers and medical ninjutsu. However, the three legendary ninjas of Konoha, who seem to have very "irregular" hobbies and abilities, are all disciples of the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, and because they once fought against the powerful Rain in the Second Ninja War, The leader of the Ninja Village, Sansho Hanzo, survived the battle and became famous in the Ninja world. Konoha's "Sannin" was named after this.

As we all know, when Uchiha Obito channeled the nine-tailed demon fox and caused trouble in Konoha Hidden Village, the fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato and his wife Uzumaki Kushina spent their lives sealing the tailed beast into their son Naruto's body, and it appeared in his belly. Kyuubi's sealing style. However, in the history of Naruto plot, there were two people who "tampered" with the Nine-Tails Seal on Naruto, which had a major impact on Naruto's later ninjutsu learning. They were Orochimaru and Zi from the legendary Sannin of Konoha. Come.

If it were not for the appearance of his mentor Jiraiya, perhaps Naruto would not know the reason why he could not learn ninjutsu anyway. I remember that during the Chunin Exams held in Konoha, Orochimaru, the once wanted S-class rebel ninja, transformed into a sound ninja and returned to Konoha Hidden Village. He once again extended his poisonous hand to Sasuke, the descendant of Uchiha at the time, for the body's reincarnation container. . Facing one of the powerful legendary "Three Ninjas", Sasuke and others' confrontation was simply an egg against a stone.

During the process, Orochimaru finally realized that Naruto was the container used to seal the nine-tailed demon fox twelve years ago, so he used the "Five Elements Seal" to tamper with the nine-tailed seal on Naruto's belly, causing Naruto and the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox to The tail's chakra cannot be fused and is difficult to stabilize, and naturally it cannot generate chakra smoothly. Therefore, even if Naruto has the powerful power of the nine tails in the later stage, he cannot make good use of it. However, what Orochimaru did to Naruto had no idea what impact it had on Naru, Sa, and Sakura, who had not seen much of the world at that time.

Like Naruto, Jiraiya has been chasing Orochimaru almost all his life. For not being able to stop Orochimaru from running away, Jiraiya is still regretful in his heart, and he doesn't even want to be the Hokage anymore. As for Orochimaru's reappearance in Konoha, Jiraiya, who has been wandering for a long time, is back again, although he keeps saying that he is looking for inspiration for writing novels. However, after accidentally meeting Naruto and seeing the nine-tailed seal on his belly, Jiraiya, like Orochimaru, discovered that the boy in front of him was the container of the nine-tailed monster, and became curious about it.

It's not surprising that Jiraiya is curious and concerned about Naruto, because when Naruto was born, the word "Naruto" was given by Jiraiya, and Naruto's father, Namikaze Minato, was his direct disciple. Just died young. However, Jiraiya, who has sharp eyes, discovered that there was something wrong with the Nine-Tails Seal Technique on Naruto. The Nine-Tails Seal Technique that was originally beneficial to Naruto was artificially added with an extra layer of roughness on the outside. The "Five Elements Seal" was suppressed. At that time, Jiraiya immediately thought that this was Orochimaru's place.

Of course, since Jiraiya has agreed to accept Naruto as his disciple, he will definitely use his "Five Elements Seal" to resolve the suppression of the "Five Elements Seal" in order to better utilize the power of the Nine-Tails. Therefore, Jiraiya became the second person in the history of Naruto after Orochimaru to "tamper" with Naruto's Nine-Tails seal. It may seem like a small plot, but its effect is completely opposite to Orochimaru's, and it will have a profound impact on Naruto's future. Ninjutsu learning and utilizing the power of the Nine-Tails play an irreplaceable role.

It is also true that the combat strength system designed by Kishimoto collapsed. If you compare the fourth generation Namikaze Minato and the first generation Senju Hashirama, what period will they score? In the early days, the Jonin were all masters, but by the time of the Fourth Ninja War, there were as many Kage levels as dogs. Today he is stronger and tomorrow another person will be stronger. The upper part sets the third generation of Hokage Sarutobi as the strongest Hokage in history. By the time of the Fourth Ninja War, if it were not for the existence of Hatake Gogokai, Sarutobi would have become the weakest Hokage in history. .

Orochimaru's use of the Earth Reincarnation to fight Sarutobi is the most exciting battle in the first part. Kishimoto's original idea should have been to use the first and second generations of Hokage to set off the power of the third generation of Sarutobi. Unexpectedly, the plot in the future would require digging out the first generation and reusing it, so its strength gradually increased. When Orochimaru fought against Sarutobi, he claimed that he was no match for his master. The second-generation Hokage and the second-generation Hokage who were reincarnated from the dirty soil were also at the peak of their youth. The Sarutobi they faced was an old man in his 70s. By the time of the fourth Ninja War, Kishimoto said that the first and second generations who were reincarnated in the dirt were incomplete and their strength was greatly reduced. Taking the Fourth Ninja War into account, the fourth generation of Namikaze Minato was just a success. He was a genius but had no corresponding famous master to support him. The first generation had Uchiha Madara to support him. Madara was so awesome before he gained the power of six paths. No match for the first Hokage.

Let’s talk about Orochimaru’s battle against Sarutobi. Orochimaru’s use of filth reincarnation was beyond Sarutobi’s expectations. Orochimaru has always been his beloved disciple. In the past, Orochimaru made a big mistake with forbidden arts and Sarutobi didn’t have the heart to kill him and let him go. In the eyes of the master, he would always think the best of his beloved apprentice, but never imagined that he had fallen to this level. Later, Sarutobi angrily scolded him for playing with the souls of the dead.

The coffins used by Orochimaru to reincarnate the second generation and the second generation through dirty soil had already appeared when Sarutobi was stunned. The fourth generation's coffin was halfway out, so Sarutobi should naturally push the fourth generation's coffin back. It is not difficult to understand that he was glad that he did not summon the fourth generation. One against three, given the setting at the time, the third generation could still handle it. The strongest ninja was proficient in more than a thousand ninjutsu, and was proficient in the five series of ninjutsu. The five types of ninjutsu are incompatible with each other. Naruto knows only one type of wind type, and other top masters can use up to three types of ninjutsu. Only special methods can be used to use the five types of ninjutsu. One-on-four would be beyond his limit, as the opponents are all masters.

The relationship between the Fourth Hokage and Sarutobi is also unusual. Minato is Jiraiya's apprentice, and Jiraiya is also Sarutobi's apprentice. Minato was very familiar with Sarutobi's strength and even his techniques, so Sarutobi naturally didn't want to be hostile to him. The first generation and the second generation both died too early. The second generation Hokage passed the throne to the third generation before his death. The third generation was only a teenager at that time, and they had no idea that the strength of the third generation was completely unknown. This is why the third generation is lucky. From the perspective of Naruto's world view, it's actually not a big deal. At least Konoha Village is peaceful, and at least Naruto still has his teachers and Grandpa Hokage to take care of him. At least I can still go to school and live a normal life. As for the sadness and lack of love without my parents, it doesn't reach the level of grief. After all, there is no memory and no reality.

Even in modern society, this kind of experience would be autistic at best. How could it possibly reach the level of blackening? It's an exaggeration.

Didn’t you see that Kakashi lost his father when he was young? His dead father was blamed by the whole village and he went to the battlefield to kill people before he was ten years old.

Not to mention the other children who defeated Ninja Village.

Sasuke, who is also the protagonist, had his whole family killed by his most beloved brother when he was young. Naruto would still have to go into darkness like Sasuke. No one can bear this. In comparison, Naruto's pain was almost painless.

Why don’t you darken your personal thoughts?

Even though the renda part of the village believed that he was the Kyuubi, due to the strict control of the third generation, Naruto did not know. Even if he later learned the truth, Iruka gave him the initial light, which to a certain extent prevented him from falling into Endless self-blame

In the process of growing up, the third generation has taken good care of him, but after all, the third generation is the Hokage, and it is impossible to have so much time to focus on Naruto, but I believe these Narutos have realized it.

Although there is not much description before the age of twelve, the ramen shop uncle, the bookstore uncle, Iruka teacher, the third Hokage, Hinata, these people actually care about him, even if it is a faint light, for Even for Naruto in the dark, it's extremely warm

Naruto has been a gentle yet strong person since he was very young, and because of his own experiences, he can sensitively feel other people's moods. I think this is something only a very gentle person can have.

Naruto always moves towards the light.

The further you go, the more you find that Naruto is really different from others. He is very ordinary, so he knows how to work hard and study hard. He knows how painful loneliness is, so he keeps telling others and himself not to be afraid of loneliness.

Everything that happens in your life is what you attract. They are attracted by the "mental images" you hold in your mind. They are what you think. "

This is the law of attraction mentioned in the book The Secret.

Corresponding to this magical law, look back at Naruto's "myth" process.

"Keep saying this to yourself, let it penetrate into your consciousness and perception, and the thoughts become physical objects."

In this ninja village called Konoha, you will always see a blond and blue-eyed boy active in the streets. While being scolded by the adults, he shows a bright smile like the sun.

"Don't underestimate me, I will work hard to become Hokage."

"I have decided that from today on, I will choose a path that I will not regret. I will create my own way of ninja."

In front of others, he stubbornly showed his existence, but in a dark corner, he looked lonely at the warm lights in the night.

Loneliness is his partner. He hopes to be recognized by others and become an important existence for everyone, Hokage, so it becomes his dream.

Not giving up, persisting in not violating his own words, became his guidepost, clearing away his confusion.

So he finally lived what he wanted to be.

“If you can think about what you want in your mind and make it your dominant thought, you will bring it into your life.”

"Thoughts have their own frequency. Constant thinking is emitting a continuous frequency."

The same frequency will attract the same thoughts, which is the law of like attracting, and it will also produce the resonance of thoughts.

"Naruto seems to have an incredible power"

"Naruto is really the most unexpected ninja"

This young man with a distinctive "beard" always affects the people around him with his energetic words and courageous vision.

Every time, he maintained his firm belief and never gave up.

He stood firmly in front of Tsunade with his thin body, and kept conveying his words. At a certain moment, Tsunade stopped trembling, no longer afraid of the bright red liquid, and decided to use this young man again. Make a bet.

He endured the pain of losing his master and faced his enemy Nagato. But at the last moment, he put down his waving fist. His reason defeated his impulse and he had a long and unreserved talk with his senior brother. His will Finally, Nagato was influenced, allowing him to regain his original intention and fulfill his unfulfilled wish.

When Neji fell trying to save him, he was shaken by Obito's words. They seemed to be fighting a battle with no chance of winning, but just like every time he was about to give up, the familiar words from his companions came again. Ripples in the ears.

Hinata: "Naruto, do what you say, this is also my way of ninja." The words that blended into the blood became their shared thoughts, impacting the heart again, maintaining the inherent frequency, and strengthening their will.

Sasuke, who had a figure that originally moved towards darkness and loneliness, was finally pulled back to the sunlight through Naruto's constant persistence and many soul-shaking communications.
