Naruto: Hayate Blade

Before setting off, Shikamaru said to everyone: "Sasuke is not a very good friend to me, and I don't like him that much. However, Sasuke is a ninja of Konoha Village like us and is our companion," so he Even if you risk your life, you must save him. This is our way of ninja in Konoha. "

After some mobilization, the young protagonists began to pursue Sasuke impassionedly, and the pursuit lasted for 600 episodes.

In this "Operation to Recapture Sasuke", their enemies are the four Sound Ninjas. The four sound ninjas defeated two Konoha special jounin before being caught up by Shikamaru's team. They were relatively powerful enemies in the early stage. Determined to die together, Choji and Neji replaced two enemies, Shikamaru, Naruto and Kiba, and even used their exquisite cooperation to recapture Sasuke, but Kiba and an enemy fell into the valley.

When Shikamaru and Naruto were about to retreat with Sasuke in their arms, Kimimaro suddenly arrived and snatched Sasuke away again. So Shikamaru asked Naruto to continue chasing, and he stopped the last enemy. Tayuya, who was good at psychics and illusions, was also a lovely female ninja.

Tayuya mocked Shikamaru: "How many team members do you want to sacrifice just to chase one person?"

Shikamaru replied: "As a captain, the lives of four teammates are indeed more important than one person taken away by the enemy. However, there is no one in my team who ignores his companions and only cares about his own safety. Don’t underestimate my teammates, I believe they will not lose.”

Tayuya was not tempted by Shikamaru's words. She channeled three stitch monsters and launched an attack. The Stitch Monsters move quickly, have rough skin and thick flesh, and also release spiritual body attacks. Finally, Shikamaru used flash bombs to extend his shadow, used the shadow imitation technique to control three Stitch Monsters in one fell swoop, and led them towards Tayuya. Tayuya immediately released the psychic spell, but the suture monster was just a feint to attract attention. Shikamaru circled the shadow in a large circle and captured the enemy from behind the tree. Tayu also didn't expect that the opponent would be so difficult to deal with, so she entered the second curse seal state.

The enemy's power suddenly increased sharply, and the shadow imitation technique would soon be unsustainable. Shikamaru tried to use the newly learned shadow head-hanging technique to kill the opponent, but the distance was too far, and the shadow could only reach the xingbu awkwardly. Tayuya angrily blew his flute and activated the genjutsu. Shikamaru seemed to be hit by the genjutsu and looked like he was about to die, so Tayuya jumped over to kill him. But Shikamaru suddenly raised his head, punched Tayuya in the abdomen, and used his shadow to control her again.

It turned out that when the opponent activated the genjutsu, Shikamaru immediately broke his own fingers with his shadow and broke away from the genjutsu through pain. He was just acting to lure Tayuya closer to enhance the power of the shadow head-hanging technique.

This time, the Shadow Hanging Technique finally reached the opponent's neck, but Tayuya's strength in the second cursed seal state was still growing, and Shikamaru's chakra was rapidly depleting. Shikamaru could no longer hold on. . In this kind of zero-distance physical confrontation, no matter how good his mind is, it has no effect.

Shikamaru couldn't help but think of Asuma-sensei coming to save him when he faced a desperate situation last time. It would be great if someone came to save him this time, but that's impossible. Just as he was thinking about this, a hurricane struck and blew Tayuya away. The one who came to save him turned out to be Temari, his opponent in the last exam. It turns out that after Tsunade gave Shikamaru the mission, she immediately sent a request for help to the neighboring village of Sunagakure, and Temari was one of the reinforcements of Sunagakure Village.

Seeing Shikamaru's appearance, Temari teased: "Are you giving up again? Let me help you." Temari showed her three-star fan and slashed Tayuya with a scythe and weasel slash, flattening Tayuya and the entire forest.

Temari turned around and smiled playfully: "How about it?" Compliment me quickly. It seems to me that she is not arrogant, but arrogant.

After that, although the four sound ninjas and Kimimaro all lost their lives, Sasuke betrayed Konoha and defected to Orochimaru. Sasuke's retrieval operation failed, and everyone in Shikamaru's team was injured, among which Choji and Neji were fatally injured. hurt. Shikamaru blamed himself. He believed that it was his lack of ability and his inability to do anything but trust his companions in action, which led to the failure of the mission and the life-threatening danger of his companions. He even had the idea of ​​giving up being a ninja because of this.

But his father said to him: "Even if you give up being a ninja, the mission will still continue, and your companions will continue to fight under the leadership of others, perhaps even more dangerously. If you really cherish your companions, make yourself better." , complete the task perfectly."

At this time, Tsunade and Shizune finally walked out of the emergency room and announced that Choji and Neji were out of danger. Shikamaru could no longer hold back his tears: "I will complete the task perfectly next time."

This time Shikamaru served as the captain of "Operation Sasuke Recapture". We not only saw his IQ and leadership, but also his strong sense of responsibility, trust in his companions, and his determination and courage to withstand pressure and bounce back after failure. However, his next mission turns out to be a nightmare.

In Shippuden, Shikamaru learned the high-level ninjutsu Shadow Sewing Technique and acquired powerful attack methods. He believes that he will be able to better protect his companions and complete missions in the future. At this time, Konoha Village suddenly received news that two members of the Akatsuki organization had invaded the Land of Fire, so Tsunade sent twenty teams to capture the enemy. Shikamaru and Asuma-sensei partner up to participate in the action, and their enemies are Hidan and Kakuzu who have incredible immortality abilities.

This battle was introduced in great detail in my last issue of Asuma's character biography. In the end, due to the huge disparity in strength and intelligence gap, Asuma-sensei died heroically. Shikamaru shed tears of regret again. Three years have passed, and he has not made any progress at all. All he can do is to trust his companions. It was his own weakness that killed Asuma-sensei.

After returning to the village, Shikamaru calmly brought the bad news to his master, Kurenai Yuhi, and was absent from Asuma's funeral. Now he cannot face Asuma, Kurenai, and their future children before avenging Asuma's teacher.

Shikamaru was not depressed by the blow. That night, he studied the tactics with murderous intent all night long. Relying on the information Asuma exchanged with his life, he formulated the perfect tactics for Hidan's immortality and curse ability. After countless calculations, he made hundreds of steps. Within, nothing goes wrong.

But the enemy also has Kakuzu whose ability has not yet been exposed, so he found his former teammates from Team 10, Choji and Ino. Before he could speak, Choji and Ino asked: "Shikamaru, are you ready to take action?" The trinity of pigs, deer, and butterflies has the same murderous intention, and they must avenge Asuma-sensei.

At night, they gathered outside the gate of Konoha Village without orders or permission. For ninjas, this was an unauthorized action that violated the rules. Shikamaru lit Asuma's relic lighter, and Ino said, "Are you ready?" Choji said, "Let's go."

At this time, the Fifth Hokage Tsunade appeared and stopped them: "This is not like you, Shikamaru, are you planning to die in vain?"

Shikamaru replied: "It's not that we want to die, it's just that we can't live like this."

Tsunade understood that Shikamaru was determined to kill, but it was too dangerous to rely on just a few of their children, so the team needed at least four people to suppress them. At this time, a voice sounded, "Four people are enough, then let me be the captain of Team 10." It was Kakashi.

Kakashi and Asuma have been close friends since childhood. Although they are not as obvious as Gai, various details also show their friendship. When Kakashi went through the bloody storm in the ANBU, it was also Asuma. Waiting for someone to fish him out. Always late, he waited at the door early this time just to avenge Asuma with Shikamaru and the others. No need to say anything, Shikamaru just said: "Thank you very much, Kakashi-sensei."

With the addition of Kakashi, an elite jounin, Shikamaru's certainty increased several times. He adjusted his battle plan and handed a syringe to Kakashi. Kakashi himself also has a high IQ, but after hearing Shikamaru's tactics, he still admired him sincerely. Shikamaru and the others started searching along the place where they fought last time. Ino used the Heart Turn Technique to attach to the eagle and found the enemy through the eagle's vision. The revenge battle of Team 10 began.

Shikamaru first used the shadow imitation technique to sneak attack. Hidan and Kakuzu both noticed the shadow and calmly avoided it. Then two kunai with detonating talismans attacked. Hidan's sickle was blown away, but Kakuzu's hardened body resisted. . At this time, Shikamaru once again shot two throwing knives with detonating talismans at them. Hidan and Kakuzu both avoided the throwing knives this time, but found that they suddenly couldn't move.

It turns out that this is Asuma's relic, a knife that can absorb chakra. Shikamaru enchanted the shadow binding technique on the knife, nailing their shadows. The detonating talisman hanging was fake, plus the previous detonating talisman Kunai The foreshadowing was just to prevent them from blocking the attack so that the chakra knife could hit the shadow. Right from the start, Shikamaru single-handedly captured Hidan and Kakuzu.

Hidan couldn't help shouting at Kakuzu: "Hey, why were you caught too? To be honest, the situation is not very bad now." Shikamaru did not waste the opportunity. He used the shadow imitation technique to control Hidan's attack direction. Kakuzu.

But at this moment Kakuzu's arm suddenly shot out, pulled out the chakra knife, and avoided Hidan's attack. Hidan was overjoyed: "That's great." But this was just the prelude to Shikamaru's offensive. Kakuzu was attracted by Hidan, and at this time Choji took action as planned, using an upgraded version of the Meat Bullet Needle Chariot, which directly hit Kakuzu. Kakuzu formed a seal before being hit, and was watched by Kakashi who was ambushing aside.

The seal he formed was Earth Release, and he withstood Chouji's body bomb tank through the art of hardening his body. Kakuzu proudly said: "Any physical attack is useless to me." As soon as he finished speaking, Kakashi sneaked up on him from behind, and a lightning bolt penetrated his body. Hidan couldn't help shouting: "What the hell? Didn't you say that any physical attack is ineffective against you?" But Kakashi's Sharingan had just seen through Kakuzu's technique and used a powerful thunder that restrained his earth escape defense. escape.

But Kakuzu later showed his true ability. He actually had five hearts in his body, and Raikiri killed one and four more. But so far, this is just the prelude to Shikamaru's offensive. Kakashi just used a syringe to collect Kakuzu's blood. This is the most important part of Shikamaru's plan.

Shikamaru took the syringe, and all the conditions were met. He asked Kakashi to restrain Kakuzu and challenge Hidan alone.

Shikamaru exploded with chakra and used the shadow binding technique with all his strength. Hidan focused all his attention on avoiding shadows. He thought that Shikamaru, who was good at medium and long-distance combat, would not risk getting his blood to get close to him, but he didn't expect Shikamaru to risk his blood. Maru dared to rush over and kiss Hira directly. Without enough time to swing his scythe, Hidan blocked Shikamaru's fist with his hand. With body contact, the shadow imitation technique was successful again. "Let's go for a pleasant walk together" Shikamaru took Hidan and ran into the nearby forest.

Deep in the forest, Shikamaru placed detonating charms around him and pretended to run out of chakra to unlock the shadow imitation technique. Hidan, who regained his strength, rushed over, trying to kill the guy who had repeatedly fallen victim to him, and slashed him with his sword. Hidan finally saw the long-awaited blood splattering everywhere. He licked the blood from the tip of the knife, drew a curse circle on the ground, and his body turned into a skull shape just like he had done when he killed Asuma before.

Shikamaru looked at Hidan with fear on his face, and Hidan inserted the steel pipe into his heart, as happy as a child, and the Kakuzu next door fell down with the same sound. It turns out that the knife he just struck did not hit Shikamaru. The blood that splattered was Shikamaru crushing the syringe containing Kakuzu's blood. Hidan killed his teammates without even realizing it.

Seeing Shikamaru fall to the ground like a corpse, Hidan turned around and left with relief. Suddenly, Shikamaru suddenly appeared with a fierce look, struck Hidan in the back of the neck with a knife, and trapped him again with the shadow restraint technique. in case. Shikamaru was unable to cut off Hidan's head directly because the forehead protector hanging around Hidan's neck reduced his strength. If it weren't for Kakuzu's help and luck, Hidan would have lost several times now.

But it doesn't matter, Shikamaru's strategies are still not exhausted. When Hidan walked up to him with brute force and raised the steel pipe again, Shikamaru raised his hand and activated the long-prepared Shadow Gathering Jutsu. All the surrounding shadows gathered together and were tied to Hidan's body together with the detonating charms. The strong binding force prevented him from moving. Shikamaru's appearance of running out of chakra was just a cover-up, as he still retained his unique skills. Then he inserted the short sword at the mark on the side. The ground suddenly collapsed, and Hidan was hung in the center of a deep pit. Shikamaru smiled and said: "This is the grave I prepared for you." Hidan was shocked: "Did this guy have everything planned by him?"

Of course, Shikamaru had dug a trap here before the war started, luring Hidan here step by step, and killing one of Kakuzu's hearts by the way. The reason why we come here is because this dense forest is a forbidden area that only the Nara family can find. The elk here will monitor this place for generations, so that Hidan can never escape.

Shikamaru lit the lighter, and Asuma's figure seemed to appear next to him, patting him on the shoulder and saying to him: "Well done." Shikamaru took a deep breath and threw the lighter towards killing Asma. of enemies.

"Farewell, sensei." Looking at the violent bazha in front of him, Shikamaru didn't even blink.

Hidan was blown to pieces and fell into a deep pit. With his immortal body, he used his remaining head to shout: "You will be punished by the evil god."

Shikamaru said indifferently: "Your current god is not the incompetent Evil God, but me at this moment." I will punish you. After saying that, he blew up the entrance of the cave, and Hidan was buried in the deep pit, never to be seen again. day.

"Konoha's Military Advisor" and the former "Twelve Little Strong" Shikamaru was actually scolded "bloody" by someone, and he didn't dare to talk back. This suspected leader of the Nara clan, "Henhi", was in Shikamaru's house He severely reprimanded Shikamaru for his inaction and failure to shoulder the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the "Nara Clan". Moreover, because he married Temari, the people of Sunagakure Village have been bitching about him, saying that Shikamaru married their "princess". Just came to the top.

Is Shikamaru really an "NG man"? Today the editor will give you an analysis. We know that the "Nara clan" where Shikamaru belongs has always been Konoha's "strategist family", and almost every assistant of Hokage has been He comes from the "Nara Clan" and is known as "Iroka Butterfly" because of his close relationship with the Yamanaka Clan and the Akimichi Clan because of his family secrets.

The "Nara Clan" has existed almost since the founding of Konoha. Although it cannot keep up with the famous families such as Uchiha and Hinata, it still has a high status in Konoha. By the time Shikamaru's generation reached "power" At the top, he became brothers with the Seventh Hokage, assisted two Hokages in a row, and most importantly, Shikamaru's father succeeded Raikage as the commander-in-chief of the "Ninja Alliance" in the "Fourth Ninja War", and finally died gloriously. .

With this kind of background, coupled with the status of Konoha's "No. 3 person", and being looked down upon after marrying the "Princess" of Sunagakure Village, the editor really can't figure it out. Konoha is now the "No. person" in the ninja world. "A military organization", he was bullying him compared with villages like Sunagakure, and Shikamaru was also the "successor" of the Nara clan after all, and he was a good match for Temari.

However, we can hear from the mouth of this man that he is very dissatisfied with the current Shikamaru. He thinks that Shikamaru has not led the development of the Nara clan, and he is made fun of and looked down upon because of marrying Temari. But the editor I think Nara's status in Konoha is not low now. As for what Enjiu said about letting Shikamaru study "politics", is hanging around the daimyo not as good as hanging around Naruto, the Hokage?

Although the daimyo in Naruto may have some status, in terms of military strength, Konoha is the strongest in the entire ninja world. Now Shikamaru has become a "ng man". What can I say? It seems that Boruto is in "battle". After the collapse of the "system", the "political system" also began to collapse. Will it be said that Naruto "reached the world in one step" when he married Hinata? When it comes to the highly intelligent ninjas in Naruto, the first thing that comes to mind is Shikamaru. He is the most powerful brain in Naruto. But so far, most of Shikamaru's IQ has been reflected in combat, which means that Shikamaru is a military strategist with a super high IQ. The first time he showed his strategic IQ was during the Chunin Examination, when he fooled Temari around, but in the end he won the beauty because of it.

The second ninja with super high IQ is Orochimaru. Orochimaru's IQ is more reflected in the field of science, so Orochimaru is the closest to those high-IQ talents in our real life. Orochimaru's research in Naruto is about cell transplantation, cloning and other scientific technologies that are difficult to overcome in real life, so it can be seen that he is also a scientist with a super high IQ in Naruto.

In addition to the military and scientific fields, there is also a highly intelligent ninja in the political or philosophical fields. He is the greatest Uchiha Itachi. If one had to choose between the village and the family, it would actually be the right choice for a person, but Itachi chose the village in the end. And later on, when talking to Naruto about Hokage's teachings, it can be seen that Itachi's IQ is very high, because he always sees things more thoroughly and understands than the average person.

In addition to the above people, ninjas like Kakashi and the Second Hokage also have very high IQs. Kakashi's IQ is more reflected in combat, while the Second Hokage's is more reflected in his ninjutsu attainments.

Shikamaru's ninjutsu ability is not very strong, he belongs to the control system, but after the death of his father Shikaku during the Ninja World War, the commanding ability he showed was enough to convince many people. But he didn't want to be Hokage either.

So in many subsequent plots, although Shikamaru is not a Kage, many people have already treated him as a Kage. In the final chapter of the theatrical version, after Hanabi was kidnapped by Toneri, the Five Shadows discovered that the moon was getting closer and closer to the earth, so Kakashi concluded that the moon was related to Toneri, so he asked Naruto to take them to the moon to rescue him. Fireworks. At this time, the time of the moon's disintegration is top secret, and only the Five Shadows have this secret countdown clock. But Kakashi gave Shikamaru one before he set off.

To say that this is a top secret, it should only be given to the successor of the future Hokage, why not give it to Naruto? Obviously, for Naruto, a big man like Naruto, it is best not to know the secret. Although Naruto has matured a lot, he is far from Shikamaru's meticulousness.

Therefore, Kakashi trusted Shikamaru very much. Shikamaru has been the Hokage's helper for many years and has done a very good job, so without Shikamaru, Naruto would not be the Hokage for long. Naruto just expressed surprise that Kakashi gave the top secret clock to Shikamaru, because he knew that envy was useless. After he became Hokage in the future, he would have to rely on Shikamaru.

Shikamaru's father, Nara Shikaku, is a standard strict wife. Before Shikamaru got married, he often taught Shikamaru "how to deal with troublesome women." , Shikaku immediately obeyed.

Later, Shikamaru also married Temari. Temari was a good girl, but unfortunately she was too strong. She obviously had the same temperament as Shikamaru's mother. For Shikamaru, he also had to follow the same path as his father.

However, Shikamaru actually had a chance to marry a gentle and smart wife.

Remember Shiho?

After Jiraiya's death, Fukasaku brought back the information that Jiraiya had exchanged for his life, but the information was written in code. The decryption work was immediately handed over to the code department, and Shiho was the genius of the code department.

She actually has a crush on Shikamaru.

When Shikamaru left the coded photo and went home to sleep, and said he would come back if there was new information, Shiho blushed with great joy.

The person in charge of the code department said that he was going home to sleep, but Shiho said that he was going to stay and tidied up his appearance in the mirror. It was obvious that he was waiting because of Shikamaru's words "I will come again."

After the interpretation, everyone had to contact Fukasaku, and Shiho blushed again when he got Shikamaru's permission to act together. Such a gentle person should not be the "troublesome woman" Shikamaru calls.

More importantly, Shiho's intelligence matched Shikamaru's. She only took one look at the picture of the code and understood that the code needed a "key".

After Naruto mentioned the katakana thing, she immediately thought that the code was hidden in the book, which was the same as Shikamaru's thinking speed.

It's a pity that Konoha was in the midst of the grief of losing Jiraiya and the threat of Pain's Six Paths, and had no time to talk about the love between children, otherwise Shikamaru would have been able to marry such a gentle and smart wife.
