Konoha: The Legend of Chiba

"Shikamaru, I'm hungry."

The bustling crowd was like a few stones in an endless river that did not drift with the current. Nara Shikamaru and Yamanaka Ino stopped one after another and followed the sound to look behind them.

But I saw Qiudao Dingji stopped half a meter away, covering his stomach with his hands, his face was bitter, looking at his face, it seemed that the stomach he was covering would scream in the next second.

"Didn't you just eat?"

Seeing the appearance of Akimichi Choji, Nara Shikamaru and Yamanaka Ino complained almost at the same time.

"But……"

Hearing what his teammate said, Choji Akimichi looked at his stomach aggrievedly, then at the empty snack bag, and said aggrievedly, "I was only five percent full just now, and then Now that I've walked so far, I'm hungry again."

"..."

Regarding this, even Nara Shikamaru and Yamanaka Ino, who were used to Akimichi Choji's gluttony and appetite, still couldn't help being speechless for a while.

Obviously only walked less than ten meters!

And their hearts were already shouting.

"Ino, how much money do you have left?"

Then, after being speechless, Nara Shikamaru sighed, silently took out his deflated wallet, and looked at Ino Yamanaka.

"Ah……"

Hearing this life, Yamanaka Ino sighed and took out his and Nara Shikamaru's wallets, which were too shrunk, and counted them carefully.

Seeing the reactions of his teammates, Akimichi Choji reacted extremely quickly, and immediately took out his wallet that was too deflated.

"Um……"

Then, the three of them fell silent together.

The money of the three of them can only buy three steamed buns.

It can be said that the money saved from such a long task was almost spent in just a few days.

Originally, they also had a lot of money. In terms of the number of missions they performed, they should be far ahead of the same period. If Class 7 hadn't suddenly completed a B-level mission, I'm afraid, among the same period, they would be the most dazzling. This is their tenth class.

And the number of tasks is large, even if the quality is not so outstanding, the quantity is large, and there is no big consumption at ordinary times. Basically, Ding Ji's food expenses are all dependent on his teacher, so even if it is Qiu Dao Ding Ji, he still saves money. Made a huge deposit.

The reason why they ended up in the current situation of running out of savings, of course, is because Akimichi Choji is eating too much now. Although Choji eats a lot, they are all AA when they go out to eat, although Choji eats a lot It was a lot, but when the three of them shared it, it wasn't that much.

What really made them bankrupt was not Choji's food intake, but after the Chunin exam started, especially after the announcement, the final test would be held one month later. There are also more products than ever before, and there are even some fun and delicious things that are not even available during the Chinese New Year.

As for the reason, it is also very simple. With the Chunin exam entering the final trial stage, after all, peace has passed, and some civilians and even nobles from other ninja villages have rushed over, wanting to witness the proud sons of today's ninja world.

All of a sudden, the flow of people in Konoha skyrocketed. The flow of people was the same as during the holidays. It could almost be said that it was overcrowded. Many accommodation stores were even hard to find a room, and some even started to rent together.

Now that there is a flow of people, that is, after the flow of people, will Konoha's merchants have to make a lot of money with their milk?

Of course everything is sold.

No matter how the goods for this year's Chinese New Year are prepared, they are all taken out in one go.

Then, when I saw some things that were only available because of the end of the year, or other interesting products that the latest merchants temporarily transported from the surrounding villages and towns and even other Danin villages in order to sell better, the wallets of the three The money flowed out unconsciously.

I bought some products that are rare or not available in Konoha Village.

Not much is actually spent on food.

At least, the proportion is not a lot.

After counting the amount of silver in their wallets, the three of them looked at each other again, and finally, under Akimichi Choji's pitiful eyes, Ino Yamanaka and Shikamaru Nara heaved a long sigh.

Then, about five minutes later, Akimichi Choji held two buns in both hands, one bite at a time, on the roof of a tall building, while watching the stars and the moon, he yelled that it was delicious.

Next to him were Nara Shikamaru and Yamanaka Ino holding half a bun in one hand.

"well……"

Looking at the satisfied face of Akimichi Choji next to him, Shikamaru Nara and Ino Yamanaka sighed almost at the same time.

How will the day go on!

And there was such a lament in their hearts.

However, seeing Akimichi Choji's satisfied and happy face, they could only lament in their hearts after all.

"Ino, Shikamaru, that Chiba is really amazing! This is the person we investigated before! Teacher Asma is not exaggerating at all this time!"

And at this time, Choji Akimichi, who was satisfied with eating, suddenly opened his mouth and said.

"Um."

When Akimichi Choji mentioned this abruptly, Nara Shikamaru and Yamanaka Ino were taken aback for a moment, and then nodded at the same time.

They should be the first to know the existence of this Chiba among all the teams, and they are also the first to investigate this Chiba, and they have the most information about Chiba (their teacher mentions it from time to time), and even Qianye They all knew Ye's appearance and even Qianye's teammates' appearance.

However, they didn't know that this Chiba, this Taki Chiba was actually such a strong person. After they really saw it, they really understood that their teacher was not exaggerating at all, even exaggerating a little conservatively up.

The strength of this Taki Chiba has far surpassed common sense, and even now they all have a kind of, village, no! How could there be such a strong ninja in the ninja world, or in other words, there used to be such a powerful ninja in the ninja world, why are there still five great ninja villages?

With Taki Chiba around, can't Konoha beat the entire ninja world?

"It would have been nice to have seen the fight sooner."

However, although such doubts welled up in his heart, Nara Shikamaru's focus was actually not there.

Rather, the battle they saw just now surpassed their common sense itself.

At this time, Nara Shikamaru really felt that it would be great if he could see this battle earlier.

"Um."

In this regard, Yamanaka Ino also nodded, a series of images of the battle flashed in her mind, and she nodded from the bottom of her heart.

Obviously, Nara Shikamaru and Yamanaka Ino absorbed something beneficial to themselves in the previous battle between Chiba VS Kakashi and the four of them.

It's just that Choji Akimichi, who was on the side, didn't seem to react.

"Why?"

At this time, after hearing the words of the two, Choji Akimichi almost subconsciously asked.

"If we could have seen this battle earlier, we might have had a more enjoyable life in the second test. Maybe we would be the first to reach the destination."

In this regard, Nara Shikamaru did not intend to hide it, and seemed to expect that Choji would not be able to react or that he had not learned any experience and lessons from the battle, so he opened the mouth.

"Um."

Hearing this, Yamanaka Ino also nodded in agreement.

Choji wasn't eating just now!

Why didn't you notice it!

But at this time, such a thought flashed through her mind.

At this moment, Yamanaka Ino was somewhat puzzled and helpless. It was the first time that Choji Akimichi did not focus on his own food, but on the battle itself. He should have watched the battle carefully. How to put it, it is time to see such a simple thing.

Now that you have seen it, you should cherish it more or less.

Looking at Choji's appearance now, he didn't seem to notice anything, which made Yamanaka Ino inevitably feel a little helpless.

And obviously, the reason why his teacher wants to fight Qianye is undoubtedly to let them learn something in this battle.

From Shikamaru's words just now, it is obvious that Shikamaru has learned something.

And through this battle, I also learned some tricks of cooperation.

After all, the cooperation between my teacher and the other three jounin is too textbook-style, and it is still a very high level of cooperation, which cannot be achieved only by tacit understanding.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, especially for an opponent like Taki Chiba, the several counterattacks are almost unprepared and unexpected, especially the final decisive blow, which was unexpected by Ino Yamanaka and even Shikamaru Nara.

Who could have imagined that using the aftertaste of ninjutsu and the real reaction it caused, it would be possible to have such a powerful thunder escape ninjutsu?

To be able to practice against such an opponent, and to be able to fight for such a long time, is undoubtedly the result of the perfect cooperation of the four teachers.

And from this battle, she also realized that in addition to tacit understanding, teamwork is necessary.

That is, use your brain.

To be honest, although their cooperation at this stage has the best tacit understanding, it is basically dominated by Shikamaru. The three of them have only one mind. In battle, Shikamaru basically does what they want to do. , is completely in a passive coordination.

But unlike my teacher and the other three Jōnin teachers, everyone is proactive, actively cooperates with each other, actively creates opportunities for the opponent, and actively rescues the opponent.

In this battle, the reason why we were able to play such a perfect and ever-changing perfect coordination, and perfectly deal with all emergencies, is that every teacher is thinking and observing, and they can often find that each other did not. The blind spots, or fighter opportunities, or crises, and actively make up for the other party's blind spots, resolve crises, and create fighter opportunities. Almost everyone is exerting their maximum capabilities, and at the same time triggering each other's maximum capabilities.

It can be said that this kind of cooperation is the real advantage of cooperation.

At this time, Yamanaka Ino really understood the meaning of Nara Shikamaru's words.

If they can play such a perfect cooperation, during the Chunin exam, I am afraid that they can really go boldly, even if they are matched with Gaara, they can still fight.

However, this may be Choji.

Although this guy usually tends to be slow, but when fighting, he never dragged his feet.

At this time, Yamanaka Ino also quite understood what Akimichi Choji was thinking.

Even, this doubt and helplessness towards Choji Akimichi is Choji's most normal reaction now.

She also imagined that it would be unbelievable if Akidou Choji, who was holding the buns, stopped eating and nodded in agreement with a serious look.

"What the hell are you talking about? Have you forgotten Gaara? And Sasuke, Neji, how could we be the first to arrive."

But at this moment, Akimichi Choji's attention obviously returned to the buns, and he casually responded to what the two said.

"Too."

Regarding this, Nara Shikamaru took a slight breath, looked at the full moon and stars in the night sky, and smiled slightly.

Well……

It's not impossible to get the first place!

However, although he agreed with Choji Akimichi, countless images of the three of them cooperating perfectly, as well as their plans to deal with various attacks and even those geniuses flashed through his mind.

And according to his deduction, if they can really achieve a perfect cooperation, the first may not be impossible.

After all, they don't need to completely defeat each other, they just need to be the first to reach the destination.

And when the second trial started, he had already calculated the best route, but it took a long time to detour because he had to avoid various dangers and fights along the way.

But if they don't need to avoid these dangers, or avoid fighting, it is not impossible for them to arrive first.

It's even very possible.

However, it's just thinking about it now, instead of explaining to Choji, it's better to agree with Choji now, so as to save trouble.

"Speaking of which, are we going to gather tomorrow? Didn't you say that Teacher Asma is going to give us special training?"

At this time, Yamanaka Ino did not linger on this topic, and directly changed to another topic.

Before this sparring session, they had originally made an appointment, because Shikamaru had entered the third test, so their teacher Asma was going to give them special training.

However, after seeing his teacher and several other people including that Taki Chiba entered the izakaya, Yamanaka Ino suspected that his teacher might not be able to sober up the special training tomorrow, so he asked this question.

"Um……"

Hearing this, Nara Shikamaru instantly understood what Ino Yamanaka meant.

Thinking about the number of times his teacher mentioned this Taki Chiba on weekdays, Nara Shikamaru couldn't guess how drunk his teacher would be for a while.

"That...compared to this..."

But at this moment, Choji Akimichi suddenly turned around and said.

"What's wrong? Choji?"

Almost subconsciously, the two looked at Choji and asked.

"Um……"

But Ding Ci didn't answer directly, but slowly put his right index finger into his mouth, his eyes showed an unspeakable brilliance, and his eyes stared firmly at the hands of the two.

The hand holding the uneaten half of the steamed bun.

"Ah--!"

Regarding this, the corners of their mouths twitched slightly, and finally they let out a long sigh, and handed over half of the buns in their hands helplessly.

"Take it!"

Then, the words full of "you can still eat" sounded in unison.
